Excellent Program all Day-- Many Visitors Present-- Handsome Sum Realize--Pilgrimage Through Buildings
Out at the Theological Seminary Training School last Sunday, Baptist churches and Sunday schools held a big, rousing rally. The program and the preparations for the occasion under the able management of Dr. H. M. Burns, the pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church and the corresponding secretary of the Baptist State Convention, resulted in the mighty boost to religious education. It had been agreed that a number of the churches would suspend their morning and afternoon services and repair to the Seminary campus and their purpose of giving their members an opportunity to see a Theological and Sacred School that had been purchased by the Negro Baptists. At Sunday school, the secretary of the Sunday School Congress assisted Alexander in conducting the Sunday school. At 11 o'clock the program proper began. There were on the platform Rev. J. L. Harding, president of the Baptist State Convention; Rev. H. M. Burns, the secretary of the Baptist State Convention; Rev. C. H. Clark, treasurer of the State Convention; Rev. Elias Jackson, Rev. A. O'Neal, Rev. J. T. Tunstull, Rev. A. C. Kenan, of Merrifloresbury; Rev. E. A. Weakley, Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, Rev. R. H. and others. The audience was great and the audience was with Mrs. Morgan, and her sister with Mrs. Cussion and Miss Caton. The platform also contained a chorus organized for the occasion under the direction of Prof. H. B. P. Johnson, the national chorist. He had a regular chorus and a juvenile chorus, one strengthening and relieving the other
Dr. Burns, the master of ceremonies, after opening the meeting, delivered a strong address, setting forth the object and purposes for which the Baptists had gathered on this particular occasion. He took the time to outline the work of the Convention, dwelling upon the attitude that Nashville had shown in helping toward such a worthy cause. In closing his remarks he introduced the Reverend R. Olive Clark, the pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist, preached the eleven o'clock sermon. it is known that Dr. Clark pastors the largest congregation in the State of Tennessee. The fame of Mt. Olive is known far and wide. It was built by him from the basement to its present complete and magnificent structure. Dr. Clark took his text from Philippians 4th chapter and 8th verse—"Think on these things." For more than an hour he dwelt upon the subject and the theme, delivering an eloquent and scholarly sermon that moved the magnificent audience of the congregation, the religious fervor that made the meeting almost a revival. With his well-trained voice he would lift it and lower it and then the climax of the sermon came, making it perhaps the most fitting for the occasion.
Following the sermon the choir sang jubilee melodies, original compositions and other religious songs; after which adjournment was taken for dinner. It was a veritable camp-meeting arrangement. The five acres of heavily-timbered land wilt hits giro of heavily-timbered land with its gielevated upon such a hill as overloacks the principal parts of the city, making it, as has been said, one of the most imposing sights around the city. The baskets were opened and the dinner spread. All were invited and all ate. At three o'clock the afternoon services began. There was a sort of symposium, a Baptist Love Feast, a Covenant, as announced by the ministers of ceremonies, Dr. Burns. This, of course, was preceded by song services. Prof. Johnson, with his chorus, showed them how to sing and they sang. Rev. Richard Vincent then led in prayer. Rev. Alexander led the Scriptures. Then among the following these spoke in the afternoon: Rev. Richard Moten, Rev. E. Jackson, Rev. Terry, Rev. Tunstall, Rev. Whittaker, Rev R. Benson and Rev. A. Alexander, Mr. C. T. Hume, Miss Ada Morgan, Rev. C. T. Hume, of Clarksville, Rev. J. L. Harding, Mrs. Cora Jordan White and Dr. R. H. Boyd. Following this a special collection was lifted. The church leading in the collection was the T伯崃acle Baptist Church that contributed $50.00. The other churches were St. John Baptist, Mt. Olive Baptist, Mt. Zion Baptist, N. Third Avenue Baptist, Eighth Avenue Baptist, North Sixth Street Baptist and the Mt. Bethel Baptist, with a special doe the churches that were unable to be present cause of previous services. It was not learned the exact amount of the day's collection, but it was stated at the Ministers' Conference. Monday morning that quite a financial sum had been raised. After the collection Rev. A. C. Kenan, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church of Murfreesboro, was introduced. He preached a soul-stirring sermon, taking his text from Exodus 4:15, in which he displayed marked ability as a gospel minister, taking his audience to spiritual heights and to the realms of religious fervor. At the conclusion of the able sermon, a real handshaking ensued; after which a pilgrimage of the building and grounds was conducted by officials from the state body and by members of the local com-mittee.

BANQUET IN HONOR OF DRAFTED BOYS.
On the 26th of July the Syrian Street Baptist Church threw open her doors and a banquet was given in honor of 67 drafted boys of East Nashville, under the auspices of the Women's Committee Council of National Defence. The people began to arrive at 7 o'clock and by 8:30 o'clock the auditorium was full and every seat was occupied. A special program was arranged for the occasion and as the drained boys arrived, the patriotic girls began the patriotic yell, and the boys were followed by the choir singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers." Mrs. Morgan, who is the special chairman of the Women's Committee Council of National Defence, served as mistress of ceremonies and as the drained boys to teacher. Prayer was offered by Rev. Burch, of Braden Memorial Chapel. Then the patriotic girls sang "The Star Spangled Banner," after which a welcome address was by Mrs. Watson Boyd, followed by a sing, "Keep the Home Fires Burning." Mrs. James Morgan then introduced the speaker of the evening, Rev. Grant, of Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, who spoke very briefly to the boys. His words were encouraging. The audience was spellbound at times by his earnest endeavor to clear the track over which the boys were to pass. Dr. Ellington gave the next address, which was brief, yet he began with the Negro's blood being the first drawn when America was strugging for freedom from England at the battle of Philadelphia, on and on till he came to this day when our mothers are called upon to give up their sons and tell them to go to France and help wrench from the hands of Germany the autocracy and make the world safe for deocracy.
Then the guests made their way into the dining-room, where there was a bountiful repast. Every one departed with memorious of the delicacies and a happy evennig.

The Good C. C., officers and members of Anniversary Lodge No. 210 made a great impression on the public last Thursday night at Morris Hall in the way and manner they entertained the drafted men of their number. No pains were spared by these noble and gallant knights to make it demean and forlorn. The spirit of Demean and Pythias was out to the letter. A splendid program was rendered, Kayne Avenue Church Choir and New Hope Baptist Church rendered some splendid music. Two little girls dressed in U S colors sang "America" to the delight of all. Mr. H. B. Johnson, who has sailed to France three times, made some appropriate and appreciated remarks. Knight John Porter made some encouraging remarks to the drafted men. Mr. Morton, acting as master of ceremonies. At 11:00 o'clock an ice course was served. These assisting in serving were: Knights Bradley, Bunch and Armstrong, Mrs. G. W. Woodmore, Miss Mary Margarey, Sam Harris, and others. The drafted men were Sam Webb, John Turner, Joe Watkins and others. Cream and cake were plentiful. The drafted men were greeted with cheers and good wishes to go forth to their duty courageously and take the name of Jesus with them, breathe his holy name in prayer, and if God be for us, his banner o'er us we will sing the wisteria us. The bacon and Calandles of this city,吧 these men Godspeed to bring the bacon home as this law abiding race is and has always been. Those of us who are left behind will do everything in our power that these men will soon come marching back singing, we have won this war by buying war savings stamps, living economically, saving, praying and trusting God.

Mr. and Mrs. Albert Davis, of South Nashville, can boast of the fact that they are contributing to the Government's use an unusual share. They have now in training three sons at various camps: Dr. Walter H. Davis, of Texas; Mr. Ira Davis, of Chicago, and Mr. Herman Davis, their youngest son, of this city. Of course they are living in high expectancy that all will return to them in health and vigor.

"ARE YOU FROM DIXIE? YES, I'M FROM DIXIE" PLAYED BY BANDS
Six Hundred and Four Draftees March to This Tune Played By Three Colored Brass Bands Monday.
Nashville's Brave Colored Sons Go To Camp---Comfort Kits Distributed By Ladies' Council of Defense---Imposing Parade---Knight Templars and Uniform Rank K. of P. Escort to Station---Patriotic Address Delivered on Capitol Boulevard.
Saying "Farewell" to Our Soldier Boys.
THE RIVER
Bird-eye View of the Immense crowd on Capitol Boulevard last Mon- day Morning, where the drafted boys were greeted and where the parade was formed.
"Are you from Dixie? Yes. I'm from Dixie." played to a patriotic air to which was added more frequently "America and the "Stars and Stripes" was the music that led 604 drafted men from Nashville to the Union Station last Monday morning for training camps. These patriots, the invincible six hundred, brave and fearless were escorted by the most stupendous parade that has ever passed through the streets of Nashville. Viewing the parade and the procession and mingling with them, lining the streets on each side and packing to its utmost capacity Capitol Boulevard, were more than 50,000 of Nashville's citizens. It had been known for several weeks that these boys coming from every walk of life, representing business, profession and other laborers had been called to serve Perhaps 100,000 of them were affected by a call. As soon as the notice went out, the Women's Council of Defense got busy and with their great organization made not less than six hundred comfort kits. So by Monday morning at five o'clock the word passed down the lina that all was ready. A scene then took place in Nashville that it will be hard to pupilate.
As early as 6:30 crowds began to gather on the streets. Every street car line in the city from the suburbs and from outlying districts was crowded with people. Many business concerns suspended their work and closed their doors. Flags, pennants and national colors were suspended from many homes and business houses. Beautiful women bedded in their best clothes were seen upon the street. Many companies from the various fraternal organizations were attired in their full-dress uniform. Bands dispensing music wended their way to Capitol Boulevard where the parade was formed. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sweethearts, friends and acquaintances, as well as employers of the drafted men helped to make up a course that will go down in history unequaled or unexcelled in point of appreciation shown. By nite o'clock it was utterly impossible to pass or cross Capitol Street, while the Capitol car line that passes in front of the State Capitol, suspended operation, the Railway and Light Company not wanting to interfere in the least or to mar in any way the auspicious occasion.
The scene on the Boulevard beggars description. The drafted men were placed about midway the Boulevard between Church and Union Streets, where representatives of the various Boards were calling the roll: each man answering bravely and courageously "present." When this was done, the men began to indulge in various pastimes, shakiny hands, laughing, joking and making merry the occasion. The ladies of the Council of Defense took this opportunity to hand to each man, comfort kits; in which there were the little things so necessary to the soldier boys but so commonly in use around the home: such as scissors, pins, little bandages, wash cloth, comb, tooth brush and many other indispensables that would be easily forgotten by the man, if he prepared for himself. Then: there were the sandwiches. In other words, two tempting slices of the "staff of life" with butter on them, between which was placed dillious

country ham with pickle and mustard a package of cigarettes or cigars, these were presented by the most beautiful women that America has produced. With this presentation and its gracious smile and an affectionate salutation of "May God bless and keep you till victory is won" was enough to strengthen the heart of any American citizen and it served its purpose for the 604 who wore to leave on the morning train. It was the little leaven in the loaf, that will carry these boys "Over the Top" and to the very gates of the house. At the direction of the Chairman of the local Committee having the celebration in charge, a fitting program was rendered in front of the

State Capitol. The speakers looked down the broad Boulevard upon a concourse of enthusiastic hearers, such as no other speakers have had the pleasure to address. At 9:15 the order to march was given. Then the long process moved east on Cedar Street. Lieut. George McChellan of the Voluntary Company No. 5 uniform rank, led the parade in Pythian Uniform. Then came the Davis Brothers' Military Band who played as they never played before. Profes-
sor Davis walking up and down the line as Band Master and as Musician was playing with might and main. This band is composed of men from sixty down to boys of ten. It was an inspiring sight. Following the band was the First Battalion of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias the First Battalion of the Knights Templar under the command of General Preston Taylor assisted by his staff, the next division was composed of a military escort of the employees at the Union Station who volunteered their services in the parade. Then came the Ladies' Military Band in a magnificent float. They played "Oven There." Star Spangled Banner" and "Dixie," with other alrs equally as patriotic.
The next division was headed by representatives of the Woman's Council of Defense. There were two great banners reading: "Help the Negro Soldier" and "Colored Council of Defense." A great sheet was held at each corner by Misses Ruth Crossthaw, Alberta Watkins, Ursula Ushpaw, Katie Boyd, assisted by little Misses Mary Landers, Lula Landers and Edwin Randals. In this sheet it took up about half the street people tossed money from one penin in denomination up to five dollars. They also threw in cigarettes and cigars. It was a moving collection table. Before the sheet became so heavy that three men volunteered to help hold it up as they marched. The young ladies carrying banners were Misses Queenie Arterberry, Rosie White and Ruby Lawrence. Then came the Council of Defense with Dr. M. E. Coleman, President, Mrs. A. N. Johnson, Chairman of Finance Committee and Mrs. F. Pierce, Mrs. F. Dawson members of the committee. They had a full attendance and the women marched in the parade. The next division was the 604 dressed men, many of them had hanging to each arm either a mother and a sister, a wife or a sweetheart. As they passed out of Cedar Street into Fourth Avenue, south on Church Avenue to Church street, west on Church street to Eighth Avenue, west on Church street to Broadway and west on Broadway to the Station, they were cheered every step of the way by white and colored, who were elaborate in their cheers and clapping, and their "good byes" "Bring Home Success." "Good byes" of the windows of the sky-scraper buildings, the stores, the office buildings and the other places were thousands of head looking and waving handkerchiefs, dropping their contributions to the sheet and cheering the Eighth Avenue around toward the crowd became more dense. They were in Eighth Avenue from Church, the all Americans both in parade and on into Broadway from the corner of the line of march. When they turn marches, Business suspended at the restaurants where meals were being served. Everything was brought to the restaurant. Traffic stopped, while on they marched. In the station, one of the spectators remarked, "This must be the number that John was trying to describe. Such inspiration as was given by this demonstration was said to put Nashville far above any other city in the United States as the center from which germinates the spirit of Americanism that must win the World War for Democracy. At the station
TECHNICAL TRAINING CAMP OPENS HERE.
About 350 or 409 selected men are in this city this week and will remain for a stipulated period at a Training School that has been established at Fisk University by the Government. Full plans and details for operating this school are known to the Government and school officials. President McKenzie is in Washington with several members of the faculty, among which is Prof. Caruthers. It is understood that instructors, together with one Commissioned Officer from the Government, will be here with the men, and that they are to take a three or four-months course. Just how long the school is to be used for that purpose was not indicated, but it is thought that their being here will in no way interfere with the school work and that the university will open as heretofore.
THE CLOSE OF A BEAUTIFUL
LIFE AT APART, TENN
The funeral of Mrs. Maud Williams, who died Sunday, was conducted Tuesday morning, July 30th, at 10:00 o'clock at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church, of which her father, Rev. A. J. Russell, is the beloved pastor. The colored ministers of the city, through sympathy for Rev. Russell and in appreciation of the sterling qualities of the deceased, were present, in a body. The service was very impressive. The choir furnished appropriate music, including a solo by Mrs. A. L. Edmunds. The following were prominent parts in the service: Rev. Robert E. D. Hall, W. T. Webb, G. P. Woodson and S. M. Jackson. Mrs. Mary Kirby read the obituary. The following were pall-bearers: Mesames Barnetta Woodson, Sarah Randle, Mary Sneed, Annie L. Porter, Ellen Scctt and A. L.

CALLED TO ACTIVE DUTY
CALLED TO ACTIVE DUTY.
The early recall to active duty of Colonel Charles Young, the idol of the young colored men of red blood and sturdy public spirit, also urged the department, is before the War Department. It has been known that the Secretary of War from the very beginning has sympathetically considered the whole matter of utilizing the valuable military experience and services of Colonel Young, who, until his retirement some months ago, was actively identified with the Regular Army.
The two concrete results here referred to, and the third one now "on the lap of the gods" would seem amply to justify the recent Conference of Colored Leaders and Editores who sacrificed time and business interests, to crystallize requests into tangible realities, and demonstrate the value of intensive co-operation with the National Government.
it was impossible to control the emotions of the relatives and friends. The crowd was too big for the spacious railroad station and it was almost impossible to handle them. Finally the boys were entrained and the train left for Louisville two hours late. They stopped at College St. Station and in Edgfield their next stop being Camp Taylor at Louisville.
The following appeared on the program in front of the State Capitol Monday morning.
J. W. Work, J. C. Napier, Mgs. S. W. Crostwait, Mrs. J. F. Pierce, Rev J. H. Smith, W. M. Sanders and Dr M. E. Coleman. A. N. Johnson was master of ceremonies. Taking part in the exercises and parade were the unif from rank Knights of Pythias and Knights Templar.

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OR
MRS. HATTIE F. PEYTON
In the midst of life we are in the midst of death, and over and anon our friends or loved ones drop out of the walks of life, leaving only fond memories and pleasant recollections of our associations here. We pause, for a moment, shed a tear then take up our daily walk of life without them only to await our summons and receive our reward. Hence, the many friends of Mrs. Hattie F. Peyton, wife of John B. Peyton, will be shocked to hear of her death, which occurred Sunday, July 21, 1918, at 2:15 p. m., after a very brief illness. Mrs. Peyton was a woman of high ideals and strong ambition, which fact was attested to by the unselfish service rendered in the capacity in which she labored. Her great care and love for the unfortunate youths under her care and to whom she was in every respect a mother, her love and devotion to her faithful husband,
NUMBER 40
Council of Defense in War
Work--Much Helpful Serv-
ice Rendered--Newspapers Assisting--
Financial Condition Excellent
Among no class of people has the spirit of service, in these troublous times, been more exemplified than among the Colored Women of Nashville. From the first call sent out by their Government they have responded nobly. They gave their sons freely and willingly and after they had marched away banded themselves into organizations for their maintenance and support.
Perhaps the strongest organization for War Work among the women of the city of Nashville is the Colored Women's Unit-Council National Defense of which Dr. M. E. Coleman is Chairman. Mrs. P. R. Burrus Secretary and Mrs. A. N. Johnson, Chairman of the Financial Committee. The members of the Executive Board are Chairman of the Various Committees and Sectional Chairman. This organization was a success from the first day of its organization. The various departments were placed in the hands of competent women and they in turn have appointed subcommittees, till at the present time there is not a section of the city that is not represented in one of the many committee meetings held weekly.
The Financial Department of the organization, under the efficient leadership of Mrs. A. N. Johnson is the strongest department in the organization and its development has been phenominal. The first handicap that stared the organization in the face when its started real work after organization was an empty treasury. Mrs. Johnson, realizing the necessity of funds, immediately made plans for a Tag Day. After completing the plans she started on the long journey, that one must necessarily make to official and semi-official before perusal or demonstration be gotten. It appeal or demonstration in the purse of public. These miles and miles of red tape having been successfully negotiated, the appointment of workers was the next serious problem. With the members of the committee, Mrs. Johnson with tact and a true insight into human nature got together a Tag Day Committee that proved to be the best aggregation of workers ever appointed by any Chairman for any purpose in the city of Nashville. All the organizations and civic leagues of the city rallied to this earnest woman, who never doubted for an instant that the plans formed would be successful and by her very faith and tenacity of purpose enthused hundreds who otherwise would have been indifferent or disinterested. The newspapers assisted her by editorially mentioning the effort and in other ways placing the need and worth of organization before the public. Even elements get the approval and Tag Day dawned bright and clear. The workers appeared at headquarters at seven o'clock and when returns were made in the evening, the Colored Women's Unit—Nashville Chapter-Council of National Deense had in their treasury $821.00. The culmination of the effort of the chairman of the Financial Committee and her committees, women with a mind to work.
The Comfort Kit Committee has been hard at work also and it was due to their efforts that the 600 men and boys leaving the city Monday were given a rousing celebration 600 comfort kits, provided and made by the women, 12,000 sandwiches and 12,000 smokes. The Financial Committee, lead by Mrs. Johnson were able to raise money on this occasion also. Banners appealing for help were printed and several beautiful girls carried a sheet in the line of march, in which the generous public of the city placed, in coins of every denomination, $181.00.
At a meeting of the Committee at the headquarters of the Council of Defense, in the Colored Y. M. C. A. on Cedar street, the Comfort Kit Committee of which Mrs. Bryant is Chairman, Mrs. H. A. Boyd Secretary and Miss Alice Cushing, Treasurer, in making their report, were enthusiastic in their praise of the help given them in the making of the 600 comt kits. The committee was under the impression when the work started, that they were to make only 178 kits but later it was discovered that all of the 600 men would leave at the same time and the kits must be finished on a certain day. To the call for help noble response was given. Mrs. Morgan Sectional Chairman of East Nashville organized a girls Emergency Club which made 43 pin cushions. Mrs. A. N. Johns gathered together a group of girls who could not see, but who donated their paper and cut them up as foundation on which to sew the silk of which the cushions were made. Many instances of help and interest of this kind could be enumerated which shows that the colored women of the city are in this war to win.
and her loyalty and sincerity to her friends portray the real, true and Christian woman which she was. In 1912 she became matron of the colored department of the State Reformatory for boys, in order to which she asked in in order to a like capacity in the colored department of the Tennessee Industrial School, in each place giving entire satisfaction, and in no (Continued on page 8.)

Gray, the pastor in charge, had spared no pains in his arrangements for the comfort of attendees at the conference enjoyed an infectious feast from beginning to end. Every speaker seemed to have had his tongue touched with a live coal. Financially, the coference was a surprising success. In spite of the high cost of living, many of the pastors went "over the top" in educational monies, and others have pledged themselves to go over on the 8th of August.

TABANACLE BAPTIST CHURCH
Sunday night at 8:30 p. m., the pastor, Rev. H. M. Burns filled the pulpit. It was regarded by one of our young men who was called to the colors that he preached the crucifixion of Christ. He complied with the request using for the subject of his discourse, "It is finished," after he had finished his discourse he commended the young men for the love and fidelity they had shown to their church and to him as their pastor, and admonished them to be faithful to the cause. To let their light as Christians shine in the camps, in the trenches or wherever the lot might be cast. The services were very impressive, mingled with sadness as the members were loathe to give up these five young men, even though they are going to do their bit for making the world safe for democracy. A large
number of friends were present to bid them good bys. Those to leave were: Bros. Howard, Flemming, Porter and Braden. Bro. Braden is one of our young aspirants to the ministry. We have so far given to the country's service ten of our sons. One in the person of Bro. Samuel Vaughn has sent us a card stating his safe arrival Somewhere in France. The B. Y. P. U. was called to order at 7:30 p. m. by the President, Sister Bettie Rucker. Song, "Blest be the tie that binds." Prayer by Sister Blackmore. Scripture reading, II Kings 20:1-11.

STAUNCH AMERICAN IN THE
HALLS OF CONGRESS—A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE—OUTSPOKEN IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL—HONORABLE L. C. DYER, MEMBER OF CONGRESS FROM MISSOURI INTRODUCES THE FEDERAL LAW AGAINST LYNCHING—STARTED INVESTIGATION OF EAST ST LOUIS RIOT.
(Continued from page 2.)
with the movement; said in the presence of the mayor that the town was full of jailbirds and crooks, and always would be." "Whenever profitable vice was imperiled Tarlton was always found ready to defend. The criminal element believed as publicly expressed by them, 'that he owned the mayor, body and breeches,' and they looked to Tarlton to save them from interference by the police and from prosecution by the courts. He kept his compact faithfully. They never call for help in vain; and on election days the ranks of crime and it immediate beneficiaries, the saloon the gambling den, and the house of prostitution paid him back with compound interest.
"Locke Tarlton was aided in his work by Tom Canavan, superintendent of public improvements. They were partners in many enterprises. Their desires ran along the same lines; their minds met in countless devious plans for personal gain and political advantage. Canavan was not as bold an operator as Tarlton, but he was more adept at finding the resistance energy that carried Tarlton over obstacles that would have deterred a more cautious man; but he was shrewd and resourceful, and found ways and means to accomplish his ends, and one of his principal agencies was Locke Tarlton. The mayor was another. "Tarlton and Canavan were 'the men higher up.' They knew how far to go without taking a personal risk. They knew, too, who could be depended upon, who could be depended upon, and the police force were so organized that no real friend of the 'gang' ever suffered.
"After the riots Canavan is reported to have said: 'Something had to be done to the "niggers", or they would have taken the town.'"
"Jerry Sullivan, the corporation counsel, who profited by the job which made the county drain a swamp which he and his friends had very recently bought, evidently, with the knowledge that it would soon be drained at public expense was either an understudy of Tarlton and Cana van, or he was farther back of the curtain." "He tried to do in a lesser way what they did wholesale. So far as he could help the combination along in his official capacity, Jerry was willing and ready to serve."
"Alexander Flannigan, an attorney of some ability and no character, appears often in the record of the investigation. His speech to an excited crowd of working men in the auditorium of the city hall on the night of May 28 virtually advised them to kill and burn the houses of the Negroes. He was not authorized to speak for those who went there to protest against the lawlessness, which disgraced the city and the presence of thousands of Negroes who, it was claimed, were taking the places of the white workmen; but his inflammatory speech caused many of his hearers to rush into the streets and resort to acts of violence.
"Flannigan has long been a menace to decency and order in East St. Louis. He has made a specialty of defending the worst criminals; and by a corrupt partnership with certain justices of the peace, whose decisions he directed, he was able to secure the release of scores of guilty gamers, thieves, thugs, and prostitutes. If the case required a jury, by connivance with the constables, he always secured a jury that would acquit.
"When efforts were made to indict him for complicity in naturalization frauds, his friend, and associate, Hubert Schauemleffel, States attorney, pleaded with the Federal authorities not to push the charge against him. He was also charged for his incoherent speech to the working men. He was in full sympathy with the action of the mob. They followed his advice, and the scenes of murder and arson that ensued were the logical result of his utterances.
"It is the duty of the respectable members of the bar in East St. Louis to institute the necessary proceedings to deprive him of his license to practice law. Such as he make a mockery of justice and bring a reproach on an honorable profession." "Hubert Schaumlefell is the States attorney for St. Clair County his authority extending over East St. Louis. It was his duty to prosecute the criminals that made an interstate play on his property. In loon, no gambling house, no house o. prostitution could have existed if he had raised a theatening finger. He held in his hand the moral deity of this city of 90 000 people. Had he been a man of average moral cour
age, prompted by high motives and responsive to his oath of office, East St. Louis and its border towns would be given the power of vice that all but helpless then.
"But Schaumleffell had no civic pride; he was devoid of character; he was the boon companion of the low and dissolute; the ready servant of scheming politicians; at heart a sympathizer with criminals whom he should have prosecuted relentlessly. A member of the Tarlton-Canavan corrupt machine, he rendered menial duties to the police, in defense that before the city election, when Mollman was a candidate for mayor, with all the hopes and prospects of the gang centered no nm. Schaumleffell called together the leaders among the Negroes; those who controlled the vicious elements of their race, and were permitted to violate the law whenever they rendered proper service to his administration. He told them plainly that they had to vote for Mollman to run for the presidency to support him he would close the dens and the dance halls, the police shops and the dice games, and the lid would be securely placed on an absolutely tight town."
"Many other instances could be given of Schaumleifell's alliance with the worst elements. Alexander Flannigan relied on and was emboldened by his friendship; the lottery sharks in St. Clair County escaped indictment by his inaction; countless criminals went unwhipped of justice, either because he neglected his duty, was blind to offenses committed by his political supporters, or was so benumbed by drink that he did not have the intelligence to realize the enormity of his official omissions.
"Rev. Father Christopher Goelz testified that he went to see Schaumleifell in order to protest against the existence of a cockpit at Woodland Park, with its attendant scenes of beastly drunkenness and debauchery. He found the states attorney as he was on his way to St. Louis to attend a prize fight, so drunk that he could not talk to him intelligently."
"The day of the riot with the mob rushing through the streets, hundreds of houses in flames, and men, women, and children victims of the riffle, pistol, and the bludgeon, States Attorney Hubert Schaumlefel tagged drunken along the way heedless of the crimes that were being committed in his presence and callous to the cries of the injured and the dying.
"It is his habit to drink to excess. His infirmity is known to all. His love for liquor seems to have stripped him of all moral courage and manhood, and left him naked and unassured."
"When will the authorities confront him with his official derelictions and his personal delinquencies, and take from him the high place which he has disfriended?
Dan McGlynn is a leading lawyer of East St. Louis. He should not be linked too closely with the malodorous Alexander Flannigan, but he must have learned his code of ethics in the same school from which Flannigan graduated. As a member of the so-called 'Committee of One Hundred' McGlynn pretendedly was an indignant citizen, protesting vigorously against lawlessness, cooperating with the Attorney General in the prosecution of the rioters and condemning every form of vice. He was so earnest (?) that he was named as a memoirist, with complete consultation of the 'Committee of One Hundred', and the attorney general of the state accepted his assistance, took him into his confidence and consulted freely with him because of his conceded legal ability and his knowledge of local conditions.
"But a change came over Dan McGlynn and he saw another light—not from above as Paul saw it, but from below—a red and sulphurous light that led him into devous paths. The two policemen, Cornelius Meehan and James O'Brien who with three of Col Tripn's soldiers, shot off Minneola McGee's arm and murdered two innocent Negroes the morning after the riot, asked Dan McGlynn to defend them. On one side was his membership on the executive committee of the 'Committee of One Hundred' and his possession of important secrets of the prosecution disclosed to him by officials of the attorney general's office, and the other side was his desire to save Meehan and O'Brien from the punishment, which they so justly deserved. All his talents and influence were placed at the service of these assasins, forgetting his duty as a citizen and regard for the ethics of his profession.
"He attempted to justify his conduct by the statement that the policemen were 'old clients' and he felt bound to defend them. Dan McGlynn, powerful, resourceful, and respected, and Alexander Flannigan, corrupt and condemned, really are brothers under the skin.
"The case of a young woman, whose name for obvious reasons should not become a part of this report, brought from St. Louis' to East St. Louis as a 'white slave', and held a prisoner in a saloon and rooming house run by Steve Unk and his wife, illustrates to what depths of total deprivation human beings can descend for money. This girl was but 17 years old. She met a man in St. Louis, whose name she did not know, but from her description on was a 'pimp' whose business it was to secure 'white slaves' for the East St. Louis market. He told this girl that she was to get employment at the Star Hotel. He took her to Steve Unk's dive, where the first duty imposed upon her was to sit in the saloon and drink with low characters who frequented it. Unk next explained to her that it was her duty to go 'upstairs' with them and whatever money she received as a prostitute would be divided half to her and half to Mrs. Unk.
"In the course of time she became 'encentate', and Mrs. Unk herself took her to a midwife in St. Louis who performed an abortion on her. She was taken back to Unk's place that afternoon, and was so ill and weak she could not leave her room. Racked with pain and suffering tortures from the crude operation, she was forced to submit to Unk, who broke into her room and spent half the night with her.
"Day by day she sat in the back room of this low saloon, and far into the night, drinking with the mills hands and roustabouts who were drawn there by her advertised presence. She testified that she often drank as many as a dozen bottles of beer in a night, because Unk made her drink with all who asked her. Unk would not permit her to talk with any one who could speak English, fearful that she would tell her story and appeal to
them for help. Unk and his wife made it a rule that she could not have breakfast, not even a drink of water, until after she had made some money in the morning. "When she finally got away from Unk's place to go to her home in St. Louis, they kept her clothes and her money, and they shared with her even more, share which she had earned by prostitution with the motley gang that crowded this low saloon and assignation house.
"Mrs. Vent, who took the girl into her home at the request of the United States attorney until such a time as a 'white slave' charge against Ukk could be prosecuted, was hounded by the police and finally arrested on a trumped-up charge of running a house of prostitution, because this unfortunate girl, sick almost unto death, and an attending nurse were in the house. She not only sheltered this poor girl, but nurped her tenacity and for her sake, she was sent into court and prosecuted; but, after a full investigation, the judge dismissed the charge against Mrs. Vent as without foundation.
"Since your committee left East St. Louis Steve Unk has been convicted and sent to the penitentiary for two years for his treatment of this girl. Mrs. Unk is yet to be tried.
"Joseph B. Messick is the county judge of St. Clair County. As judge he appoints two members of the board of review, which has power to increase or reduce all assessments made by the city assessor and the county officials. He also appoints the election board, which made his son his secretary. This young man is a lawyer of limited capacity, with an earning power of perhaps a hundred dollars a month, but his proficiency knowledge of the law is devoted to the great corpse investigations of St. Clair County at once employed him as attorney to appear before his father's board of review to secure for them a reduction in their assessments. Young Messick rapidly developed an insight into assessment values, and proved conclusively that from their standpoint his selection was wise.
"The board of review was composed of William A. Swarttrauber, Frank M. Miller, with powerful political connections, and Charles F. Krebs.
"It did not take the son of the county judge long to convince this board, appointed by his father that the assessments he made in the city assessor were issued by the county assessor were an unjust burden on these rich corporations.
"Here are the assessments and reductions of the leading corporations:
"St. Louis Bridge Co. assessed at $,500,000, which included only the east half of Eads Bridge was reduced to $,250,000, although for the four years previous it had been assessed at $,150,000.
"The Aluminum Co. of America was assessed by Assessor 'Oday at $699,000, Warning raised it to $799,990, and the board of review, after an eloquent appeal by young Messel, cut it to $200,000."
"Ninety-four lots owned by the Wigwins Ferry Co. were assessed at $1,518,470. This assessment was cut by the board to $803,245. The assessment of these lots was cut virtually in half by the board; and in some other instances the board reduced the Wigwins properties, but left unchanged the assessments on adjacent lots owned by others.
"The plant of the Maleable Iron Co. was assessed at $485,000. It was raised by Warning, the county assessor to $519,000 and was cut by the board to $132,000.
"The American Steel Foundries as assessment was reduced about $38,000.
"The Republic Iron and Steel Co.'s assessment was reduced from $63,900 to $16,788, a reduction of approximately 75 per cent.
"The Elliott Frag and Switch Co. was reduced from $24,420 to $9,000.
"Lots owned by the Water Co. as assessed at $9,660, were reduced by the board to $2,220.
"These assessments held for four years, and during that period the St. Louis Bridge Co. would save in taxes $116,654, the Wiggins Ferry Co. $84,140, the Aluminum Co. of America $69,952, and the Malleable Iron Co. $45,148.
"Although the assessment of virtually every big corporation, in and around East St. Louis was reduced assessments of very many of the small householders were increased.
"Your committee is not informed just what fee was paid to young Messick for appearing as attorney before the board appointed by his father.
"The strike in the plant of the Aluminum Ore Co. was caused by a demand of the part of organization laid in the adjustment of wages, a reduction in hours, and an improvement of conditions under which the men worked.
The company refused to meet any of these demands, declined to discuss the matter with the workmen's committee, and added in suit to injury by importing Negro strike breakers and giving them the places of the white men.
"It is not the purpose of your committee to discuss the merits of this controversy, although the bringing of Negroes to break a strike which was being peacefully conducted by organized labor sowed the dragon's teeth into the riot of plunged East St Louis into blood and flame.
"But there grew out of this strike a violation of the law of such a reckless and defiant nature that it calls for the severest condemnation. "One E. M. Sorrels was secretary of an alleged rifle club, which never had maintained more than a desultory organization. The members virtually had ceased to use a temporary range; but there was stored in the club house a number of rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition, the property on the United States. Sorrels, either on his own initiative or at the suggestion of an officer of the Aluminum Ore Co., entered the storeroom of the rifle club at midnight and secretly transferred to the plant of the Aluminum Ore Co between 30 and 40 rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition; the purpose being to arm the strike breakers and turn guns on the United States against the forces of organized labor and shoot down the strikers should this be necessary to break the strike.
"Sorrels violated the law by burglaring the house containing these rifles; but the Aluminum Ore Co. recognized the risk he had taken; and, grateful for the unlawful service he had rendered, promptly took him 'into its employ at a salary of $175 or $180.' "The War Department should not be blamed when United States rifles are stolen and turned over to a pro

vate corporation to be put to unlawful use; but the attention of the Secretary of War is invited to Sorrell's criminal act, and he should request the United States district attorney to have him indicted and prosecuted to conviction.
"The character of the police force and its utter demoralization was strikingly shown in the murder of H. B. Tratton, head of the 'morality' squad of the police force, by Assistant Chief of Detectives Frank Florence. The murder grew out of the fact that Tratton, acting under orders and in the line of his duty, raided a house of prostitution which to the astonishment of the community, turned out to be owned by Florence. When they arrested the prosecution drew his weapon, Teatton throw both hands up above his head but nevertheless Florence shot and killed him in cold blood. Florence was indicted and tried, but being one of the 'gang, of course, was acquitted.
"One of the worst crimes ever committed in St. Clair County was the abduction and murder of Alphonse Magarian, a 3-year old son o f arm Armenian baker. The father of the child complained to the police that a house of prostitution was being conducted next door to his home. Soon thereafter his child disappeared, no trace of it being found until nine days later, when the little headless body was discovered 100 yards away in a dump heap. The head was found a week later in another dump heap. Several pimps and two prostitutes from the house next door were arrested, and one of the women confessed to having assisted in abducting the child. Many threats had been made against her by friends of the accused. Before the trial her mangled corpse was found on a railroad track. A coroner's verdict of suicide was rendered, but it is believed she was first murdered and then placed on the track.
"Strong 'gang' influence was used to save the indicted men, one of whom was a relative of Health Commissioner McCracken. States Attorney Schauleffel conducted the prosecution, and again, as a matter of course, there was a verdict of acquittal. The house of prostitution complained of by the father of the murdered child was a building owned by Thomas Canavan, president of the board at local improvements and Locke Tarlton president of the levee board. The offenses committed against law order and decency in East St Louis and County include every known act in the catalogue of crime. We have selected some of the high lights that hurried illumine the landscape of crime.
"One third of all the stealing from freight cars engaged in interstate commerce, as reported from 27 states, was done in East St. Louis and St. Clair County. It was not only a fertile field for the car thief but he found a ready sale for his plunder through agencies that were protected by the police and other officials.

The restless troop trains come and go constantly. Steadily they pour their thousands of untrained civilians into the cantonements and as steadily they carry the finished product of the training camp to the seaboard, from whence it is but a step to the battlefield. The troop train is become one of the commonest things in America, and yet we see little of and hear less of it. It is not good form to publish its movements. It comes and goes swiftly through obscure railroad yards, and the countryside has but fleeting glimpses of it as it hastens on its way through the daylight hours, the brightness of the dawn or the dusk of the evening
Everywhere in the United States the troop trains are hurrying to the cantonements with the new levies. Additional thousands of young men are joining the colors. Though the train has become common, not yet is it commonplace or will it become so while the war lasts. Though we have sent many of our boys away it is not yet possible for us to speed each departing contingent without emotion. The same feeling overcome us as filled our hearts when first we bade goodly to the boys departing for service.
Today as the young men to whom we have committed the nations destiny depart we have more serious sense of their responsibility and ours, than we had when the men who responded to the first call for troops were sent away. Since that time American troops have reached the battlefield and today are taking part in the fighting. How gloriously they are performing their duty and preserving the national tradition we all know.
A year hence—perhaps in six months' time—the young men whom we have sent to the training camp this week will have taken the plaque in the battle line. They are of the same breed as are the men who have preceded them to France. We are confident—yes certain—that they will do for us as have the boys who already have added new honors to the flag. They are our boys—and could they do less?
To these young men departing we can say they are supported not only by the flexible purpose of the nation, but by our love and our hopes and everything we have. We have no feary that they will not do their part, and we consecrate ourselves anew to the end that we who remain behind shall do ours unfailingly, completely, thoroughly, uncomplainingly. Let this be the resolve of us all.
To all the boys departing, bid them goodby, Godspeed and good luck.
THE COLONEL BALKS.
Such delay as marked the reaching of a decision by Colonel Roosevelt in connection with the New York governorship probably was due to the powerful influences that urged him to seek the office. Surely there could not have been for the colonel himself any particular attraction in being a candidate or in being elected. To become a participant in a factional party fight in New York state no matter what the result would be a sacrifice for the colonel.
In his answer to signers of the petition that he run, the ex-president points out that all his thought is given to the great national issue; and may even be felt to have administered a mild rebuke to those who find time for lesser things. At any rate the answer makes clear that Roosevelt will not run, which is good for the nation, good for the republican party and also good for the colonel. Among the signers of the round robin calling for Roosevelt candidates were William Barnes, Elijah Root, Senators Wadworth and Calder, Henry W. Taft, and Charles Evans Hughes. The feud between the two senators and Gov. Whitman, candidate for a third term, explains their stand. Of
interest as reflecting new trends in New York politics is the stand in favor of Whitman taken by leading women politicians, these women notified Colonel Roosevelt that they unreservedly for Whitman and that a candidacy by an ex-president would have no effect upon their allegiance. In the meantime the colonel and the national figures who spoke at New York convention succeeded in impressing on the party platform a patriotic and constructive spirit. The platform as adopted calls for altruistic intervention in Russia along the line of that which allies are understood to be working out; immediate creation of league of nations to enforce international law, with only liberty loving people eligible for admission; publication of all treaties before they can become valid; universal military training; a national budget system; study of problems of demobilization and abandonment of any tendency toward government ownership of industries when peace comes.
The doom of the hun forces is written large. It will be but a matter of time. However we should not work ourselves up to a frenzy of optimism. There may be reverses. The advance may be costly. It may not all be easy. It is just as important that we not rock the boat of victory as in defeat.
America is moving toward intervention in Russia about the same way she moved into war with Germany, not by taking a firm hold on the bulls horn but a gingerly grasping of the tail and inching along.
Americans and Australians have been jolly good pals in sports many a year, so their present partnership in war is merely a natural and happy development.
The man who sneers at the patriotism of the Roosevelt boys or of their father merely because he doesn't like colonel is not a good patriot himself.

STAUNCH AMERICAN IN THE HALLS OF CONGRESS - A REP REMSENTATIVE OF THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE - OUTSPoken IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL - HONORABLE L. C. DYER, MEMBER OF CONGRESS MEMBER OF FEDERAL LAW SUCHES THE FEDERAL LAW AGAINST LYCHN-ING-STARTED INVESTIGATION OF FAST ST. LOUIS RIOT.
(Continued from page 3.)
en good were found in the stable of a notorious saloon keeper, who took a prominent part in politics, and he was indicted. There was conclusive evidence of his guilt; but, as was to be expected in that community, many leading officials went to his rescue and testified to his good character. Again, there was a verdict of acquittal.
"The politicians and the police force of East St. Louis and St. Clair County divided among themselves at least $60,000 a year in graft which they exacted from the gamblers and prostitutes for protection.
"Constables and deputy sheriffs picked up some easy money in the vile dance halls that were open on Sunday in the various saloons in St. Clair County. They were paid $5 a day by proprietors of these places under the pretense of maintaining order, but under their oaths they should have arrested and prosecuted the keepers and all those present for violating the law.
Records show that more than 300 girls between the ages of 13 and 16 years visited the dance halls run in connection with salons and so-called hotels, which were in reality assignment houses. These children, their hair hanging down their backs, and in short dresses, publicly engaged in lascivious dances with a motley crew of drunken toughs. The police took no notice of these offenses, nor did the mayor make any effort to close these joints notoriously violating the law. A poor widow who had three daughters appealed to Rev. George W. Allison to prosecute the men responsible for their downfall. All of them were ruined in these dance halls. The youngest, 15 years old, visited a saloon one night and was taken to a room in the building and outraged, and nine different men satisfied their

lust before a well-known saloon keeper arrived on the scene, when he locked the door and spent the remainder of the night with the despoiled child. There were no indictments, no prosecution, and no arrests on the police or mayor to arrest the offenders notwithstanding that officers of the law were eyewitnesses.
"The knowledge of this horrible assault became so widespread that a former States attorney finally secured an affidavit from the victim, but he went out of office, and the remaining authorities paid no attention to it. Finally, however, some of those involved in the outrage sent the 15-year-old child to California, where she gave birth to a boy baby. The name of the saloon keeper who participated in the assault was given to Mayor Mollman, but he made no effort to have him indicted, and even refused to cancel his saloon license.
"A well-known hotel in East St. Louis, with a saloon attachment, was offered for sale, and part of the chattles as set out in writing in the contract were two women, whose earnings as prostitute was represented would average $7 a day each. The one of this hotel lived in New York and Cavanand Tarlton, both public officials acting as his agents, rented the property. The vile purse for which it was used was the reason held out why it was worth the price asked.
"Between the first of September 1918, and July 2, 1917, the day of the riot there were eight hundred crimes of various characters, ranging from larceny to rape and murder, committed in East St. Louis. In hundreds or cases these straw bonds were taken and when the criminals failed to answer a small fine was entered, which the justice of the peace received two-thirds and the chief police one-third. It was a profitable business for the justices, one of whom, now dead, is said to have made $25,000 in one year.
"Women of the street in kimonas, with frowsy heads and painted faces, took part in the riot and were, it possible, more violent than the men. They attacked Negro women and children and beat them unmercifully.
"The mayor's secretary made a practice instructing justices of the peace when to fine criminals; how much they should pay, and he also furnished a list of those who were to free.
"It is worthy of note that with the aid of the votes of the good women East St. Louis now has a commission form of government, which promises to cure some of the evils from which it has suffered for many years.
"One of the unique features of official life in East St. Louis was that permitting constables to summon juries from the barrel houses and saloons, they were known as 'irrigation juries'. These juries always returned a verdict in favor of the clients of Alexander Flannigan, a friend of the court, or of any other lawyer, or gang leader with 'pull'; and it was invariable custom for the court to impose a sufficient additional fine to pay for a 'treat all around for the jurmen and officers. These lawyers with a 'pull proudly took them to a nearby saloon on which was the large sign, 'Court Bar', where they were irrigated.'
"As a matter of record many of the prominent citizens of East St. Louis and many not so prominent refused to pay taxes and then under the law their property was sold. In all such cases the city bought in the property, but never perfected its title, with the result that these taxes were finally barred by the statute of the city receiving no revenue and the tax dodger retaining his property. The saloons made a business of discounting the salaries of city employees, in more cases charging as high as they even 40 per cent. The tougher the saloon the more patrons brought from the city hall.
"A saloon keeper was chairman of one of the assessment boards. He publicly stated that the corporations were assessed too high and the small property owners too low. "After Mayor Mollman's election, which was brought about by an alliance between corrupt Republican and Democratic gangsters of both races he was the guest of honor at a banquet given by Negroes, and was photographed in the midst of them. "A witnessed stated that one of the letters written by a Negro to his friend in the South ran about as follows: There is a money tree in East St. Louis. All you have to do is to come up here and shake it and get the money' The Negroes came in thousands in answer to this appeal and others like it. They found no money tree, but instead some of them found telephone poles from which they were hung at a rope's end.
"During the riot a Negro was arrested and taken to jail, so that the mob might not get him. He had not committed any offense, and presumably, was in the safe custody of the jailer. One of the police officers, learning that he had some money in his pocket, constituted himself judge, jury, and witness and fined him $11.50 and also made him contribute $5 additional to raise the assessment of one of his fellow prisoners to the proper amount. This petty crook, in learning afterward that the Negro had some change left, no doubt was surprised at his own moderation.
"One of the famous institutions of Brooklyn, a Negro town in St. Clair County was known as 'Aunt Kate's Honkytonk'." A sign over the door
read, 'Something doing every hour. Many witnesses testified that Aunt Kate was protected by the police, and that her place was vile, even in that degraded community. Indecent dances went on as a continuous performance, and abandoned white women interlined the motley crowd of men by dancing naked on the ballroom floor. "One of the original dances of 'Aunt Kate's Honkytonk' was the 'Chemise-she-wobble', a variation of the famous muscle dance of the East. It was a special feature of Aunt Kate's program, and hundreds came from all the countryside to witness it. "Brooklyn had a high school for Negro girls, in which the town took a pardonable pride; but along came a wave of women and enugled this center, 24 out of every 25 girls who were in the graduating class went to the bad in the saloons and dance balls and failed to receive their diplomas.
"It was a frequent occurrence to find drunken, naked white women in the streets of Brooklyn. They had spent the night in the saloon and in the quarrels and orgies that took place were stripped and turned into the street.
"Marie Hall is a noted prostitute in East St. Louis. She not only had a 'pull' with the pill, but she was a great assistant of Justice Clark, and presented him with a new office desk which he proudly pointed. When joked by his friends about this gift he remarked he was only sorry she had not given him an automobile in stead.
"Some years ago the Council of East St. Louis gave away an electric franchise to a crowd of freebooters who had neither capital nor credit. They never had any idea of establishing an electric plant nor using any of the valuable privileges so freely granted them. These promoters sold the franchise for $50,000, and ever since East St. Louis has suffered from high prices for electricity, and eastern syndicate finally getting control, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for the charter. The widow of one of the aldermen exposed the bribery by which the franchise was secured. She filed suit against the original promoters for $1,000, alleging that $14,000 had been promised for the votes of 14 aldermen; that they had lived up to the part of the contract and granted the franchise, and that her husband died before he could receive his share of the boodle—$1,000.
"The looting of the city and county treasury has grown into a habit in East St. Louis. More than $250,000 has been stolen by various defaulting officials in the last five years. In one instance the school fund was robbed of $45,000, but the prosecution of the thief has gone on listlessly for several years without any real effort to convict him. He was not arranged for trial until after your committee had left East St. Louis. He then pleaded guilty. Everybody knows who were protecting him, but so many similar thefts have been overlooked that there is but little public sentiment against him.
"After one of the defalcations the thieves took everything in the vault but the metal hinges of a loose leaf ledger, and the fire they started to destroy the evidence of their guilt left that as the only souvenir for the taxpayers.
"The names of the saloons in and about East St. Louis were typical of the wildest West in the mining-camp days, and, while picturecases in their nomenclature, they breathe a spirit of lawless defiance. Prominent among them were the Buck of Blood, 'The Monkey Cage,' 'The Yellow Dog, Uncle Jbhn's Pleasure Palace,' with the seductive appeal, 'Come 'n be suited, ' and 'Aunt Kate's Honkytonk with 'Something doing every hour.'
"In the latter part of 1912 or the first part of 1913 a hod carrier living in East St. Louis died. It was not then known that he had any near relatives, although he carried $1,600 life insurance. The county took charge and the funeral was assigned to William Degen, an undertaker, who also was a member of the city council. A relative of the deceased appeared later and calmed the insurance. It was found that all the money had been paid to Degen except about $200. Degen supplied an itemized bill containing such items as $800 for a casket, $100 for a suit of clothes, $20 for a pair of shoes, $5 for shaving the dead man, and other and similar extra travagant items. The whole matter was exposed in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and such a scandal resulted that the authorities exhumed the body. It was found to have been buried in a rough pine box, with scarcely enough clothing to cover it. The whole outfit cost less than $50.
"It was reported at about the same time that the bodies of women were not safe from the degeneracy of an employee of another prom'nent undertaker. Another employee of this establishment reported one such instance to his employer and was discharged, while the man against whom the accusation was made was retained in the employ of the undertaker. On the night of the assault, the acting adjutant man of Illinois that the mob spirit was rampant; that the police were unable at cope with the situation; and that it would take the strong hand of the militia to preserve order.
"A 8 o'clock next morning Col. S. O. Tripp, assistant quartermaster general, sent from the office of the assistant general of the State. After an unnecessary journe
ney to St Louis he came to the city hall in East St Louis and reported for duty to the mayor, who described the situation to him and gave him entire charge to deal with the conditions as the necessities of the case might arise.
"It may be will at this point to describe Col. Tripp, because he fills an important role in this tragedy, and responsibility for much that was done and left undone must rest on him.
"When the adjutant general's office summoned Col. Tripp in the early hours of the morning he answered the call to duty arrayed in a seersucker suit and a dainty straw hat after having, as he informed your committee, hastily packed his handbag with a lot of toilet articles. Thus ready for any emergency he took the first train for East St. Louis. He brought no uniform with him and, although it was his duty to face and quell a riotous mob, at no time was he garbed as a soldier.
"Evidently it was his intention to secure some bullet-proof coil of vantage from which he could view the turbulent scenes in perfect safety, while with a megaphone he could command and dispose of his troops. After hours of consultation with his companion in timidity and inefficiency, the mayor he ventured to direct of the mob and, according to his own testiness, saw a helpless Negro, with a rope around his neck, being dragged to his death.
"He described, with a great show of courage, how he grabbed a gun from a soldier and, facing this terrible mob, pressed back 1.500 people by his own unaided effort. Your committee has been unable to find any evidence to confirm this valliant deed of the redoubtable colonel, where he practically mastered hundreds of infuriated rioters, but as he stated to be a fact, it must be. It is the belief, of a committee that is Col. Claverd had no' come to his reshock off Col. Tripp's sailor hat, broken his wrist watch, and sent him back to his concrete dugout in the city hall.
"It is the unanticipated opinion of every witness who saw Col. Tripp on that fateful day that he was a hindrance instead of a help to the troops; that he was ignorant of his duties, blind to his responsibilities, and deaf to every intelligent appeal that was made to him. His presence in East St. Louis was a general to the assistant adutant general, who sent him there, and reflection on the judgment of the governor for burdening his staff with so hopeless an incompetent. Instead of putting himself the head of his troops, unfortunate as a soldier, and going body into the mob, dispersing them, and if necessary, hisking his own life to rescue the poor wretched who were dragged through the streets by the neck, shot and mutilated, he remained in the city from 8 a. m., until 12 o'clock, when he calmly repaired to a restaurant out side the danger zone, secured a delightful lunch which it took him more than an hour to order and mastache and at 1:30 he resumed his survey of the situation from the safe shelter of the city hall.
"Col. Tripp was asked why he spent four hours in the city hall, with East St. Louis in the hands of a murderous mob, and failed to go to the scenes of conflict and take charge of his troops, who were sorely in need of a commander he absolved himself of all responsibility by answering, 'The President never goes out of his office,' and so, by comparing himself to the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, he was perfectly satisfied with his conduct. 'Me and the President' was, in his opinion, a complete defense.
"The mayor called the governor on the long-distance telephone and urged that additional troops be sent, saying that the lives and property of the citizens were endangered. But Col. Tripp, the parlor warrior, assured the governor that he 'had the situation well in hand,' and that there was no need for more troops. His judgment in this matter was no better than his ability and courage as a soldier, qualities which he totally lacked.
"Your committee desires to speak a special word in commendation of the conduct, bravery, and skill of Col. C. B. Clayton, of the Fourth Infantry, next in command to Col. Tripp." Had it not been for his promptness and determination, the mob would certainly have committed many more atrocities.
"Col. Tripp in his testimony before your committee, undertook to defend his blunders, but he failed utterly. If he had taken hold of the situation upon his arrival, inspired his soldiers with respect for him gone to the center of the disturbance and turned loader guns against the mob, he moved his spared East St. Louis of the ignominy from which it now suffers and saved the lives of many innocent men, women, and children.
"Your committee invites the attention of the Secretary of War to the record of this officer as set forth under oath by himself and many other witnesses:
"A Negro, unarmed, making no resistance, and trying to escape the fury of the mob, was knocked down and cruely kicked and beaten. His condition was so pitilable that a soldier sa'd to the rioters 'Boy, he has surfered enough; let him alone.' By an answer one of the mob drew his pistol and shot the Nessens through his times, one bullet hitting through his brain the soldier then put his gun on his shoulder and calmly walked away, making no arrests.
"A number of soldiers openly stated that 'they didn't like niggers' and would not disturb a white man for killing them.
"Three soldiers and two policemen were ordered to close a Negro saloon. On their approach two Negro men ran, and the soldiers and policemen shot and killed both men, although neither had committed any offense.
"The same crowd shot on the of the Negro servant girl, Annela McGee, already mentioned." They had no warrant, even if she had not come with any offense, she was not running away. She was cruelly malmed for life by these official murderers. This unoffending girl was wantonly shot by the soldiers, as testified to by the policemen who have been prosecuted. Your committee was unable to secure the names of these militiamen. They must be known to the military authorities. It is the duty of the government and the adjutant general of Illinois to and these to punish them for the brutal crime. It was one of the most flagrant cases of cruelty revealed to your committee.

"Paul Y. Anderson reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch testified that he heard a soldier tell a white man who was loading a revolver to kill all the Negroes he could that he didn't like them either."
"A member of the Sixth Illinois Infantry boasted that he had fired his gun 17 times during the riot, and every time at a 'black target.' Your committee was unable to secure the name of this soldier.

men have been sentenced to prison terms; 14 white men have been given jail sentences; 27 white men, including the former chief of police, an three policemen, have pleased guilt to rioting and have been punished.
"These conviction were obtained in the face of organized, determined effort, beheaded with abundant fund, to head off the prosecutions and confections. In the case of Mayor Mol man, there seems to have been a open, paid advertising campaign to slander and intimidate the attorney general.
"The State of Illinois is fortunate
"A militiaman in uniform said to have been on furlough, led a section of the mob that was killing Negroes. "A soldier stabbed a white boy with a bayonet and the boy bled to death. The boy was carrying a pair of pantsoles across his arm. That was his sole offense. The soldier was drinking and murderously assaulted him. After a full hearing thecoroner's jury unanimously held him on a chase of murder. But later, at a secret trial by the military authorities, he was released. "Soldiers deliberately shot into a house where seven Negroes had taken shelter. "G. E. Popkess, a reporter for the St. Louis Times, testified that he saw two inoffensive Negroes, while feeling for their lives from a burning building, shot down by soldiers.
"The governor of Illinois has a responsibility in this matter that he cannot evade. The militia of the State are under his control. He can arraign militiamen for misconduct; he can remove officers for inefficiency; he can institute a thorough inquiry that will expose the criminal and the incompetent.
"A prominent merchant of East St. Louis testified that within 24 hours after the occurrence he notified the governor of the case of a militiaman who deliberately shot a Negro with out provocation, a crime committed in cold bood. He did not know the militiaman name, but it was possible for the governor to learn who he was and to visit proper punishment upon him.
"The governor must be familiar with the wanton stabbing of the boy by a drunken soldier. The facts were reported at the time in all the newspapers as they were testified to before your committee. They are within the reach of the governor in the records of the court-martial which is said to have tried and released this murderer.
"Has any official effort been made to apprehend the three militiamen who next morning after the riot, in company with two policemen, killed two innocent Negroes and shot off the arm of the Negro girl, Minneola McGee? These men were State militiamen, were in regulation uniform, and subject to the authorities of the great State of Illinois. At that time it would have been an easy matter to identify them and turn them over to the authorities to be tried for their crimes. It is evident that no military inquiry conducted by such court-martials as sat in similar cases growing out the East St. Louis riots would have given them their deserts.
"What was to hinder the proper State authorities from making an investigation of this murderous assault. They had the power to search the roster of the companies present at East St. Louis. These men were known to their companions who could have identified them easily.
"Special commendation is due Attorney General Brundage and Assist Attorney General answered every appeal made to him by the good people of East St. Louis and St. Clair County and, virtually without assistance from the local authorities, remedied many evil. It was due entirely to his efforts that lawless resorts were closed, wherever there had been violation of the State law. he was quick to order the State arrest and prosecution of the offender.
"Assistant Attorney General Middlekauf had active charge of the prosecution, leaving out of the riot, and allowing neither fear nor favor. Capable determined, and courageous, he allowed neither political influence nor personal appeals to swerve him from the strict line of duty.

men have been sentenced to prison terms; 14 white men have been given jail sentences; 27 white men, including the former chief of police and three policemen, have pleaded guilty to rioting and have been punished.
"These conviction were obtained in the face of organized, determined effort, backed with abundant funds, to head off the prosecutions and convictions. In the case of Mayor Mollman, there seems to have been an open, paid advertising campaign to slander and intimidate the attorney general.
"The State of Illinois is fortunate in having men of ability and character at the head of its law department.
"Your committee wishes to commend the work of Rev. George W. Allison, pastor of the First Baptist Church of East St. Louis, and to express thanks to him for much information which was of vital assistance in bringing out the criminal life of the city and the political influence that encouraged lawlessness. The Rev Allison is a man of courage, capacity, and determination. Conspiracies against his character and threats against his life did not deter him; the constant danger of bodily harm did not prevent him from continuing his investigations and fighting with all his splendid power, the organized forces of evil. If there had been others on the 'committee of one hundred with even half his moral force, the example might have leavened that whole lot of selfish incompetences.
"Paul Y. Anderson, reporter of the St. Louis's Post-Dispatch, was assigned during the past three years to duty in East St. Louis, and was to your committee an inexhaustible mine of valuable information. In serving his newspaper fearlessly he rendered the public a more important service by laying the story of faithless officials who could not be lashed, even by exposure, to do their duty. He personally laid before the mayor positive evidence of the guilt and incompetency of his police force and demanded that he close the gambling houses and the lawless and unlicensed saloons. His investigations, thwarted on every hand, were thorough and trustworthy. He saw everything, reported what he saw without fear of consequences; defied the indignant officials whom he charged with criminal neglect of duty; ran a daily risk of assassination, and rendered an invaluable public service by his exposures. His testimony before your committee was most interesting and illuminating; his harrowing experiences before and during the riot threw a flood of light on conditions.
"Your committee is indebted to Rev. Father Cristopher Goelz, pastor of St. Phillips Church, at Edgemont, for much valuable information. He was a power for good in his community, and the fact that it escaped much of the contamination of the greater city was due to his vigilance and the publicity he gave the low characters that attempted to gain a foothold in Edgemont.
"Your committee has not adjourned sine die for the reason that it is possible, at least, that a supplementary report may be made showing the beneficial results of the exposures brought about by the investigation and also by the vigorous prosecutions herein before referred to.
"All of which is respectfully submitted."

this spirit into prospective students.

No one is likely to argue against the proposition that, to be truly a great good ( sympathizing, successful physician, one must have its mainspring in deep emotion, expressing itself through processes of an habitually active useful, good life.
The great thought, or the deep emotion will always be painful to any one capable of it, until he can find for it an adequate expression. such a man is the subject of our sketch.
Dr. Dawson's one, consuming desire, to be truly a great physician going about doing good, following the foot steps of all his saintlans. As a child in play, he acted the Dr. for his companions calling upon them diagnosing their case describing compounding and administering medicine to them.

His magnative mind stretched to manhood, and he saw himself a great physician in a large city at the head of a great hospital, but his longings were not realized as early as he had hoped for. His father died when he was 10 years of age, leaving him an in valid mother to support. Be it said to his honor, that sacred trust was never betrayed, for his mother was his first care until God called her home. In the mean time he educated himself, after finishing Pearl High School, he did special work at Normal, Walden and Chicago.

school, which position he resigned July 1st, 1918.
While teaching, Dr. Dawson also took four years of medicine at Meharry. In 1915-16 he was given a leave of absence to finish his course at Meharry. He graduated with the class of 1917 and was one of the most popular and honored members of his class, as well as one of the most studious. His average being 95.
Dr. Dawson has now fully entered upon his longing to desired life upon his institution, as being one of the most successful physicians in the city is growing by leaps and bounds. Being of a spiritual turn of mind it can be said of him He is truly going about doing good.
Dr. Dawson has in him all the qualities of a great physician, he was converted at the early age of 10 years and joined the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. He grew up under the religious instructions of Sister M. L. Flowers and the late and sainted Sister Johana P. Moore of the Fire Side School. He was for many years Supt. of the Mt. Olive S. S. He is a useful member of the First Baptist Church 8th Ave. N.
Dr. Dawson's popularity can best be shown by saying that his practice is largely confined to the families of the children who grew up under his instructive in the public schools.
We are proud to recommend him to any one wanting an honest, clean, pure, and efficient Doctor in their homes.
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY AUGUST 2, 1918.
It is not the custom of the Emergency Canteen Service of the Red Cross Chapter, to extend courtesies to local draftrees leaving the city, the supposition being that the families of the men will have done practically all that is necessary; however the entrainment of 600 Negro men this week found the ladies on duty at the Canteen House prepared to make an exception of the occasion, and they complimented the departing men through the闸闸 members of the Newville Unit, Women's Committee Council of National Use, the Red Cross furnishing the supplies, the women of the Unit serving the men.

CROSS
ized By
Chapter Publicity.
An interesting extract relating to the War-relief by and among the Negro people of New York City, especially their connection with the Red Cross work there, is taken from an Eastern daily paper:
"Negro women of New York City are active in war relief work. More than 500 belong to Auxiliary 319 of the Red Cross, which has its headquarters in the armory of the old 15th Regiment, now the 369th Infantry, at Seventh Avenue and 123d street. Since the branch was organized last December its workers have turned out a great quantity of useful garments for soldiers.
The Woman's aid and auxiliary of the Negro restroom, has nearly 500 members. They are helping the members of the command by looking out for their families. They are extremely proud of a big silk American flag, presented to them recently by Col. Roosevelt.
The Red Cross opened a few days ago the first canteen for Negro soldiers. It occupies a building at 2 388 Seventh Avenue. In addition to the restaurant there are fourteen room, rest rooms, library, and reception rooms. The furniture and appointments of the place are new. The Negro Red Cross supplies cooks, waitresses, and helpers in general. Soldiers are provided with Southern home-cooked dinners for 25 cents.
NEGRO PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Dramatic Club, which is over six months old, is launching a membership campaign for August, preparatory for their fall and winter work. We want to enroll every primary and junior child possible. The club is divided into two parts—kindergarten and junior, ages funning from 6 to 16. The purpose of the club is to instill in the child a tase for the best that is in literature. Youth is seed time, says one writer. We feel it our duty to help every parent sow seeds for a child. When a child becomes interested in literature, many an hour that would be spent idle, is spent toward making him a broad person, and you are preparing him to have at his command something to soothe their sorrow and drive loneliness away.
The library field is a new field of service for humanity and still more recent for the Negro. It is a depository of all minds and personalities of all ages and times. A field of life. There is not subject, nor which serve every man in every walk course of which you desire your child to follow, but you find in a library. Give us the golden opportunity to serve your child.
The Club meets every Thursday at 4 P.M. The following is the Honor Rell-Cleopatra Overby, Annie Moore, Susie Thurman, Price Erwin, Chadine Bramlette, Julia Ewing, Margaree Berry, Carrie Bell Berry, Edward Ewing.

Mr. Blanche Monday was here from Camp Humphrey, Va., last week. Mr. Ben Willis who is working at Hadley's Bend made a flying trip home last Monday. Little Jack Williams is very sick with tonsillitis.

SHELBYVILLE
The district conference of the Shelbyville District which met at Hadley's last week is said to have been the most successful one in recent years. Every pastor responded. Every one went over his assessments. Some able sermons were delivered. Rev. F. W. Gardner is proud of his district. The quarterly conference at Woodford Chapel last week was a success. The session was held in fifty-five minutes. The amount collected was $53.16. The amount raised during the quarter was $198.15.

McAdams, principal, Miss Ellen Dowell, first assistant, Mrs. Lavonia Dowell, second assistant, Mrs. Ida Laws, third assistant, Mrs. Ellie Bould, fourth assistant and Mrs. Maudeline Cowan, substitute. School opens the first Monday in August. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Thompson a son. Mother and babe are doing well. Joe has grown two inches taller since the event. We wish to recall the words of praise given a certain minister recently. He has reversed himself. Of all men who should be consistent the minister should take the lead. A man of words and not of deeds, is like a garden full of weeds. Why don't the boys who can play horns get together and practice? No band can play well that does not have regular hours. He can play the bass and the drum sound. If you prepare you will get calls. In fact you will be given preference in all home functions. Get busy. The arrival of L. B. F. Allen, president elect of Turner is anxiously awaited. He has written that he will be in a few days.

Mr. Couttet will here meet. Be sure our sine will find you out. You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time. The man who does right cannot suffer loss. Don't be afraid to take a stand for the right. Cowards never accomplish anything Shelbyville feels compliments on its splendid corps of teachers for the public school. Prof. J. C. McAdams a Fiskite of known ability. Miss Ellen Mitchell and one of Bedford's best lady teachers, Mrs. L. W. Dowell of the A. and I. Normal; Mrs. Ida Maws, graduate of the Shelbyville high school of Turner College and a Tuskegee Institute, whom the board of education calls one of the best teachers of the south and Mr. Elli Blas of Turtle College. All who believe that faculty that Shelbyville is justly proud of. Only are these persons strong literally but their influence in home building and character developing an inspiration to the coming generation. The ladies of the Comfort League deserve great credit for the splendid work in providing for our soldier boys. All hats off to them. Generous rains in these parts brim broad smiles to all.

The Kaiser called the devil upon the telephone one day.
The girl at Central listened to all he had to say,
"Hello!" She heard the Kaiser's voice is old man Satan home!
Just tell him, this is Kaiser Bill that wants him on the phone.
The Devil said, "Hello" to Bill an Bill said "How are you?"
I'm running here a hell on earth, say tell me what to do."
"What can I do?" the Devil said, my dear old Kaiser Bill.
If there's a thing that I can do to help you, I sure will.
The Kaiser said, "Now listen and I will try to tell you:
The way that I am running on earth, a modern hell.
I've saver for this many years, and I've started out to kill.
That it will be a modern job, you leave to Kaiser Bill.
My army went through Belgium shooting women and children down.
We tore up all her country, and blew up all her towns.
My Zepps dropped bombs on cities kill ing, both old, and young.
And those the Zeppelins didn't get, were taken out and hung.
I started out for Paris with the aid of poisonous gas.
The Belgians "darn em," stopped us, and would not let us pass.
My submarines are death, why you should fight.
They go snacking through the sea, and sink a ship at sight.
I was running things to suit myself til a year or so ago.
When a man called Woodrow Wilson, wrote me to go more slow.
He said to me, "Dear William, we don't wan to make you so severe.
So, be sure to tell your U Boats to sink our ships no more.
We have told you for the last time, "So Bill" its up to you.
And if you do not stop it, you have got to fight us too.
I did not listen to him, and he's coming after me.
With a bunch of "Negro" soldiers from their home across the sea.
Now that's why I called you Satan, I want advice from you.
I knew that you would tell me, just what I ought to do.
My Dear old Kaiser William, there's not much for me to tell.
For the "Negro Soldiers" will make it hotter on earth than I can in hell.
I've been a mean old Devil, but not half as mean as you.
And the minute I get you here I will give my job to you.
I'll be ready for your coming, I'll keep the fires all bright.
And with the room all ready when the "Negroes" begin to fight.
For the boys in blue will get you. I have nothing more to tell.
Hang up the receiver, get your hat and meet me here in hell.

ERITORS' CONFERENCE YIELDS
BIG RESULTS.
President's Strong Stand Against Lynching—Opportunity for Colored Nurses in Army and Probably Early Recall of Col. Young to Active Duty, Follow Urgent Appeal of Race's Stokesmen for Justice.
Washington, D. C., July 29: Already there are numerous evidences that the recent conference of Colored Editors and leaders held in this city in June, which was called by Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, at the suggestion of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, to consider the relations of the 12,000,000 Negroes in this country with the general government itself, and to discuss ways and means how each might co-operate, most effectively in the war, with the world-wide war, is bearing fruit. Three results of the most significant character have been worked out with in the past fortnight that fully justify the holding of the conference and other issues not les far-reaching are well on their way toward a satisfactory conclusion.
PRESIDENT WILSON'S CLEAN-CUT
PRONOUNCEMENT AGAGINST
LYNCHING.
The first in importance and human interest of the helpful results that may be said to have grown directly out of the recent conference of editors, and the co-operation of Negro leaders and friends of the Negro people, is that frank, positive and unequivocal delaration of the President of the United States against the mob spirit, which has been sent to the four corners of the earth by cable and through the newspapers of this country, President Wilson's firm stand for law and order ranks with the finest of the great state papers that have emanated from the White House, and it has electrified the entire country as it has seldom been thrilled before. It will be remembered by those familiar with the proceedings of the conference at the New Interior Department Building that the full force of the leaders who spoke was marshaled in opposition to the lynching, burning and inhuman mob violence practiced mainly against colored people
in various sections of the_country, and that this lack of respect for the common rights of citizens was given as the most potent cause for the unrest among Negroes. This was the underlying reason for bringing the conference together from far distant points. The proceedings of the Conference reached the President through the Committee on Public Information of which Mr. George Creel is Chairman.
The President's message is a wholesome rebuke to ruthless violators of the law, who almost invariably think they will be immune from punishment by the courts or by an outraged public opinion.
The colored people are jubilant over the timely and straightforward outburst of the President of the United States and that such an utterance from the highest authority in the land will cause a wave of patriotic enthusiasm among them and inspire a keener impulse to assist in the many constructive war activities throughout the Republic can not be doubted.

TO LIVE IS NOW A PLEASUSE
Stronger Than She Has Been in Many Years, Says Mrs. Smith.
A DIFFERENT WOMAN
Wishes She Could Impress on People How Much Good Lung-Vita Did Her.
"I wish I had the words to tell the good Lung-Vita has done me, and that I had the power to impress it on the thousands of persons suffering as I did," says Mrs. Nola Smith, who lives at 1143 West Market Street Louisville, Ky., in a statement recently given.
"I was so weak when my attention was first called to Lung-Vita that I could not stand up while being told of it. My strength was gone, my appetite was gone, my eyes were heavy and blurred, my skin was sallow, and I coughed dreadfully, and the expectoration was ropy. I began taking Lung-Vita on April 25, 1918 and now at the end of the eleventh week I am a new woman. The pains in my chest are entirely gone, I seldom cough even the slightest. I sleep all night and have an excellent appetite. Now my eyes are bright, my skin is normal and my complection clear and ruddy, and I am stronger than I have been before in many years. That tired feeling is gone and living is a pleasure. I am honest in stating that I fully believe I would not be alive now but for Lung Vita." Lung Vita is sold by druggists and dealers, but if yours has not stocked it yet, write Nashville Medicine Co, Nashville, Tenn (Adv.)
DEATH OF REV. A. W. RICHARD
SON
After an illness of less than three weeks, the Death Angel claimed one of our very useful young ministers in the person of Rev. A. W. Richardson. Rev. Richardson had bee na resident of our city a short time, but had made many friends. He'become a member of the Third Avenue Baptist Church and took an active part in the church work. Funeral services were conducted at the residence of Miss Lola Rankins, Jo Johnson Ave., Tuesday afternoon. His remains were accompanied by his sister were shipped to his former home in Arkansas.
WHAT WE FIGHT FOR
The high aims of America and her allies are well expressed in President Wilson's greetings to France on Bastle day:
"As France celebrated our Fourth of July, so do we celebrate her Fourteenth, keenly conscious of a comradeship of arms and of purpose of which we are deeply proud. The sea seems very narrow today, France is so close neighbor to our hearts. The war is being fought to save ourselves from intolerable things, but it is also being fought to save mankind. We extend our hands to each other, to the great people with whom we are associated; to the people everywhere who love right and justice as a thing beyond price, and to create ourselves once more to the noble enterprise of peace and justice, realizing the great conceptions that have lifted France and America high among the free peoples of the world. The French flag files today from the staff of the White House, and America is happy to do honor to that flag."
A CALL TO DUTY
From the battle fields in France there comes an unspoken call that should find an answer in every American's heart. The recent great events in Europe, the successes of American arms on the field of France should spur every American to greater effort.
Our people at home shouldn't rest on the laurels of our soldiers in France. Every death on the field of honor in the line of duty and for our country's cause should be a call to us for every sacrifice and every exertion to aid the cause for which our soldiers are fighting, for which our soldiers have died.
Increase production, decrease consumption, save, and lend to the Government. Every cent lent to the United States is used to support strength, and aid our soldiers in France.
ARE YOU DOING IT
Every time you read, you purchasers of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps of what the United States is doing in France in building wharves and railroads, or deluging the Germans with gas or shelling them out of position with big guns or sharppen, or of bombing their arsenals or cities, or of the great work of our Army and our Navy, or of the building of ships here, or of any or all the great or small achievements of America, here or abroad on the seas, you buyers of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps truthfully can say, "I had a hand in this"; I contributed to this" "I am helping do this"; "It is part my work."
SAVING AND SAVING AND LENDING.
Sir William Goode, of the British Food Ministry, says that from July 1917, to April 1918, the United States exported to the allies 80,000,000 bushels of wheat product. Of this it is asserted that 50,000,000 bushels represented voluntary sacrifices by the American people in their consumption of wheat.
There is a triple economy, a triple aspect to this saving of wheat. It saved wheat for our Army and the armies of our allies; it saved money to the American people, and for the most part this money went for the purchase of Government war securities.
There is another saving still; this sort of sacrifice and economy is helping win the war—shorten the war—with the resultant saving of soldiers' lives.
MAILING YOURSELF MONEY.
Every time you stick a Thrift or War Saving Stamp on your card you are mailing money to yourself to be received later with interest. Cashing in these stamps is going to be better than "getting money from home," for with the money comes the reminder that you contributed to the great victory which then will have been completely won.
THE PEOPLE AND WAR TAXES.
More than $3,500,000,000 has been collected in internal revenue taxes, including income and excess-profits taxes for the fiscal year. This exceeds by over $100,000,000 the estimates made a few months ago, and by over $200,000,000 the estimate made a year ago when the revenue measures were帕帕 Congress. The success of collecting this large revenue is attributed by the Treasury Department to the patriotism and cooperation of the American people in promptly and cheerfully meeting the war burdens imposed upon them.
LOANS TO OUR ALLIES
With another credit of $100,000,000 to Italy and $,000,000 more to Belgium, credit advanced by the United States to our allies now total $3,800,000.
GOVERNMENT LOANS TO FARMERS
During the month of June $8,343,420 was lent to farmers of the United States by the Federal land banks. The Federal land bank of Spokane leads in amount of loans closed, $1,262,280.
During June 11, 96 applications were received asking for $5,127,011, and 2,516 loans were approved, amounting to $6,793,527.
On July 1 the total amount of mortgage loans placed since the establishment of the Federal land banks was $1,051,508, covering 48,297 loans, distributed as follows:
Spokane $17,000,555
St. Paul $16,205,000

AMERICAN AND GERMAN
FINANCES
Pessimistic Americans who view with alarm our increasing national debt.
obligations may derive a great deal comfort from a comparison of the financial condition of the United States contrasted with that of Germany. The total resources of the United States are estimated at about $250,000,000,000; our annual earnings are estimated at about $500,000,000,000. Our national debt including the third liberty loan, may be put around $12,000,000,000. Before the war our Government was spending about $1,000,000,000 a year. When the war is ended, interest charges, less the interest collected from our loans to our allies Government insurance expenses, and other necessary expenditures growing out of the war may conservatively be estimated at something like $1,000,000,000. We are confronted, therefore, when peace comes, with raising only a couple of billions a year revenue, a slight task for a Nation of such tremendous wealth, capacity, and resources.
The resources of Germany before the war were estimated to be $80,000,000,000. The annual expenditures then of the Imperial Government were about $800,000,000. Her debt now is $30,000,000,000, and her resources and man power have been severely impaired. After the war she is confronted with additional expenditures growing out of the war totaling some $4,000,000,000.
The interest of her war debt even if the debt grows no larger, will be about $1,500,000,000. Although she is niggarly in her pensions to private soldiers and their families, $1,000,000 a year would hardly suffice to pay even small pensions to her injured and the families of her soldiers who have been killed. Her war debt may be more than $1,500,000,000 in sinking funds 5 per cent would add $1,500,000,000 to her annual taxation. Here is a total increase of $4,000,000,000 all due to the war.
Of course both the United States and Germany may greatly increase their debts, but the increases will not change the relative situations.
The German Government has drained the German people of their gold, even their jewels and heirlooms, and yet the Imperial Bank of Germany now has but little over $500,000,000 of gold in its vaults. The United States has made no special effort to obtain gold, has made no call upon the people for the precious metal, and yet today has in its Treasury vaults practically $2,500,000,000 of gold coin and bullion.

BOTTLERS' FORMULAS FOR SUGAR SAVING SIRUPs.
Based on experiments made in the Water Laboratory.
(1) The quantity of sweetening ingredient to be used in bottled soft drinks depends upon the personal preference of the consumer which is influenced by the acidity of the beverage. The acid beverages, such as ginger, ale, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, pineapple, lemon, orangeade, grape, and other sodas, require more sweetening than do the non-acid beverages, such as root beer, sarsaparilla, birch beer, cream, chocolate, etc. Some consumers, especially children, prefer a sweeter product than do others. Consequently, from the taste of the sweetened product may be divided into "sweet" products and "dry" products, and since a "sweet" acid drink requires more sweetening than does a "sweet" non-acid drink, soft drinks may be further subdivided as indicated in Table 1 which shows the average quantity of sugar which has been used heretofore in beverages.
TABLE I
Normal quantity of sugar in soft drinks. Based on analyses made in the Bureau of Chemistry,

Acid group: lemon, grape, phosphates, etc:

SUBSTITUTE
(2) The principal sweetening ingredients prospected for replacing a part of the sugar in bottled soft drink are corn sugar (ordinary glucose), corn sugar, maltose sugar, honey, and high grade refiners sugar. The Water Laboratory after testing most of these products in various combinations with many different flavors has found: FIRST that none of these products except possibly high grade refiners sugar which has not been thoroughly tested yet, can be used to replace all of the sugar; SECOND, that each of these prospected sweetening ingredients possesses a characteristic flavor which may affect the palatability of the beverage unless it is used judiciously in the proper combination with ordinary sugar; THIRD, THE KEEPING QUALITY OF THESE PRODUCTS WHEN MADE UP INTO SIROPS IS NOT SO HIGH AS THAT OF ORDINARY SUGAR SIROP, BUT IF THE NEW SIROPS ARE FILTED, BOILLED, AND USED IMEDIATELY, THE KEEPING QUALITY OF THE FINISHED BEVERAGE IS SATISFACTORY, AS OBSERVED OVER A PERIOD OF SIX WEEKS;
RELATIVE SWEETNESS.
FOURTH, the relative sweetness of the products mentioned above (except refiners sirup) is as follows: Ordinary sugar 100; Honey (40B) 75 Corn sugar 45; Maltose sirup (42B) 30; Corn sirup (45B) 20; FIFTH, that these products can be used to replace one-fourth to one half the amount of sugar ordinarily used, thereby effecting a saving of approximately 50,000 tons of sugar a year. The combinational work the combinations for sugar and corn sirup given in Table II are suggested for the different groups.
TABLE II
Quantities of sugar and corn sirup suggested for use in soft drink. Quantities given to be added to each half pint bottle.

Practical bottler's formulas for the combinations given above:
FORMULA 1.
Each 1½ fl. ounces sirup to contain ¾ ounce sugar and ¾ ounce corn sirup (450B).
DISSOLVE 100 LB. OF GGRANULATED SUGAR AND 200 POUNDS OF CORN SIRUP (450B) IN 27 GALLONS OF PURE WATER. THE SOLUTION OBTAINED WILL MEASURE ABOUT 50 GALLONS. FILTER, BOIL
AND USE IMMEDIATELY. ADD 11%
FL. OUNCES SIRUP TO EACH ONE
HALF PINT BOTTLE
FORMULA 2.
Each fl. ounce sirup to contain 1/4 ounce sugar and 1/2 ounce corn sirup (450b).
SAME FORMULA AS 1. ADD 1 FL OUNCE SIRUP TO EACH ONE-HALF PNT BOTTLE
FORMULA 3.
Each 1¾ fl. ounces sirup to contain ½ ounce sugar and ¾ ounce corn sirup (450B).
DISSOLVE 114-2-7 POUNDS OF GRANULATED SUGAR AND 171-3-7 POUNDS OF CORN SIRUP IN 28.6 GALLONS OF PURE WATER. THE SOLUTION OTAINED WILL MEASURE ABOUT 50 GALLONS. FILTER, BOIL, AND USE IMMEDIATELY. ADD 1¾ FL. OUNCES SIRUP TO EACH HALF PINT BOTTLE.
If it is desired to use a less concentrated sirup than the one given and to increase the quantity per half-pint bottle, the following formula may be employed:
Each 2 fl. ounces sirup to contain ½ ounce sugar and ¾ ounce corn sirup (450B).
DISLEVE 100 POUNDS OF GRAN-
ULATED SUGAR AND 150 POUNDS
OF CORN SIRUP (450b) in 31.9
LBONS OF PURE WATER. THE SOLUTION OBTAINED WILL MEASURE ABOUT 50 GALLONS. FILTER, BOIL, AND USE IMEDIATELY. ADD 2 FL. OUNCES OF THIS SIRUP TO EACH ONE-HALF PINT BOTTLE.
EXCEPTIONS.
(33) A cream soda made with % ounces sugar and ½ ounce corn sirup is less sweet than the other beverages of the same group, and a chocolate made with ½ ounce of sugar and ½ ounce corn sirup is not quite sweet enough, even for a "dry" product. On the contrary, ginger ale made with ½ ounce sugar and ½ ounce corn sirup will be too sweet even for a "sweet" product, the combination ½ ounce sugar and ¼ ounce or ¼ ounce corn sirup being preferable. For a "dry" ginger ale, ½ ounce sugar and ¼ ounce corn sirup gave satisfactory results. One-half ounce sugar and ½ ounce corn sirup will make a "dry" grape beverage, but more sugar will be required to make a "sweet" product.
(4) Formula 3 can be used to make DRY TRUE FRUIT blackberry, wild cherry, pineapple, strawberry, raspberry and grape beverages, but for EWEET products of this nature, it will be necessary to increase the sweetening 30 per cent over that specified in Formula 3.
With the exceptions noted above
Table 1 contains a general
guide for preparing beverages.
MALTOSE SIRUP
(5) If desired, the same quantity of maltose sirup (420B) can be used in place of the corn sirup in Formulas 1, 2, and 3. In the case of maltose sirup care should be taken to purchase only high grade product which is low in protein; otherwise, the keeping quality of the finished beverage will not be \satisfactory.
(6) If it is desired to use corn sugar or honey in place of corn sirup it will be necessary to use only about one-half as much, since these products generally are sweeter than corn sirup
CORN SUGAR HONEY
The corn sugar used in these experiments was slightly off flavor. It is suggested than corn sugar be used only in beverages with heavy flavors, such as sarsaparilla, root beer, etc., in which the slight, not altogether unpleasant bitterness is masked. It is suggested also that when corn slurp, corn sugar, etc., are used, the amount of sugar to 2-3 of the usual amount and that the normal quantity of flavor be increased by one-half.
REFINERS SIRUP.
(7) Experiments on refiners sirup have not been completed, but sufficient work has been done to show that the lower grades of these sirups are not suitable for the manufacture of soft drink because of their highly disagreeable saline taste. If only the highest grade is used however, the finished goods should be satisfactory, at least the heavy flavored products, and the soft drinks. Also, data on this subject will be made public in the near future. Tests on the cola group of beverages are in progress also.

(8) Bottlers are urged, in the interests of sugar conservation, to limit the production of beverages such as grape, phosphates, and other acid drinks which require a large amount of sweetening to render them palatable. By curtailing the output of this type of beverage and by making use of the formulas here given, it is be able to produce bottled soft drinks need not be greatly reduced and yet the supply of sugar will be conserved.
SACCHARIN
(9) Scharpin which some bottlers have proposed to use during the period of the war, has no food value and is considered to be deleterious to health. Its use is prohibited by the laws of regulations of fourteen states and is believed by the Department of Agriculture to be within the inhibition of the Federal Food and Drug Act (Food Inspection Decisions 135, 142); consequently, it is not to be classed with such products as corn sirup, maltose sirup, etc., mentioned above.
LABELING
(10) The Federal Food and Drug Act places no restriction on the use in soft drink of corn sirup, maltose sirup honey, corn sugar, and refineris sirup Their presence should be declared however, on the label.
MEHARRY NEWS.
The six Meharry nurses who enlisted and are now in service for the U. S. Government at Muscle Shoal, Ala., are greatly pleased that their sister nurses now are invited to register and make ready to join them in this great struggle.
To the several registration booths the Meharry nurses rushed and by their signature placed themselves on the altar of their country to stand by the side of their brother in arms.

OUR BOYS TO THE COLORS.
On last Monday morning in the midst of the 20,000 Negroes who thronged our streets to bid farewell to the 600 young strong stallwart-Negro boys who entrained for Camp. Meharry was in line to contribute her share. The following words by Dr. J. H. Hale expressed the spirit of the Institution.
DR. J. H. HALE'S FAREWELL TO SOLDIERS ON BEHALF OF MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE.
Mr. President and Fellow Citizens: I am proud this morning that I am permitted to welcome and to bid our boys of this commonwealth of this state, yea of this beautiful city, farewell. I do not come, boys with crape on my arm; I do not come with tears in my eyes; I come with smiles on my face and a heart super-saturated with joy and gladness that we in army give up our quote of Liberty Bonds, our quota of stamps and our quota of Men.
I notice in the Nashville Globe each week a beautiful motto, "Our Saviour, Our Flag and Our President," and as you go forth to the various camps in the country, I would beseach you to ever take this motto with you, thus demonstrating to your comrades, thus demonstrating to all races and to all nations that you haven't just awakened to your Country's Call, but four years ago when the first bule blew, you have been anxious to go over and answer the call.
Anxious to answer the call because President Wilson says, "This country and all other countries must be safe for Democracy," and in making it safe we are anxious to appear upon the stage of action and play our part as other men have done in other ages.
Men, I greet you as brave men, I greet you as courageous men, men who will open their mouths and sing "There will be a hot time in the old town that night when they reach Berlin."
I know nearly all of you men personally. You don't represent the slack

ers, you don't represent the worthless. Many of you have been called from good positions, some of you have been called from pursuing your school course. Some of you have been taken from your mother's side, some of you have been taken from your wife and children, but men cheer up. That is none of your business about having been separated from your jobs and your employers, that is none of your business about having been separated from your mothers, sweethearts and wives, that is Jehovah's business and I believe the we will understand it better by and by.
Young Men perhaps this parting now will be the saddest picture that you will have to face. Shortly the tramp tramp trump of the soldiers and the rush to go over the top in yonder's land will harden your hearts to the horrors of war, but there is one thought I wish to leave with you, The Mehary Medical College with Dr. G. W. Hubbard, President, wishes you God's speed. Tell the world that she has more than 2000 trained physicians more than 500 trained nurses. Tell the world that Mehary has telegraphed President Wilson that these 2000 physicians and these 500 nurses, if need be, are ready to sacrifice every energy to make you comfortable here. Tell the world, if need be, we are ready to cast our lot with you on the deep blue sea.
Tell the world if this war is to make our country safe for Democracy we will gladly take our chance in the battle field of France and forge our way into the very jaws of Berlin.
WHAT ABOUT ROGER WILLIAMS?
REV. C. L. MCALLISTER THE
CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
The thinking members of the Baptist family of Tennessee have been waiting and watching with eager eyes to see how much longer the Trustees of Roger Williams University are going to defer the election of a president to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Dr. A. M. Townsend. They are concerned the Summer is far longer that the conventions and associations are holding their annual sessions week after week with no one to represent the institution, that the campus is growing up in grass and weeds, that the date for the opening of school is less than sixty days off, and that a president is very much needed. The man who has been mentioned and boosted by the leading and thoughtful citizens of Nashville to become president of the person of Rev. C. L. McAllister, No man who knows this gentleman will doubt in the least his ability to fill this position of trust with honor to his
Some Meharry graduates, who have whom are serving in the present war
denomination and credit to himself.
He is a young man with "pep" and experience, having served as president of Nelson Merry College. His personal acquaintance with the people over the State and the officials of the different associations and conventions would give him the edge over any other candidate, however highly trained he might be. He is a graduate of old Roger Williams University, and for several years has shown his interest in the progress of the new institution by giving an annual prize that student who excelled in history.
Let the proper authorities get busy and see that our educational work is placed in the hands of such a man as we have mentioned above.

TO GROW LONG, STRAIGHT HAIR
You Need a Real Soap Food.
There are so many scaled 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 get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinasea is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a moist, creamy, and nebulous the roots of the hair, coining a natural growth of long hair. Quinasea is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered 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 Quinasea it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about two weeks with Seeby's Quinaseoap. Quinaseoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a mild, non-irritating formula very freely. It leaves the hair soft and buffy 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 Quinadee, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drunken or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to East 130th Street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv
of their cousin, Mrs. J. T. Austin, who recently moved here from Nashville, Mrs. Smith will return to her home in a few days and Miss Smith will visit friends in Cleveland and Canton, O. before returning home. Miss Smith and mother spent a few weeks at Dawson Springs where they enjoyed a much needed rest. Mrs. Smith will return home much improved in health.

THE CALL HAS AT LAST COME
A call from Washington to the Colored Women.
To all of our race loving and patriotic young women, the government has called you togo of the front and nurse our wounded boys or stay at home and care for our sick. Will you heed this call or let the opportunity given to the Negro women go unchallenged?
Our leaders, both men and women have subjected themselves to the severe torture to make this opening for the training women of the race. Will you let them feel that their efforts were valueless? I know you will not. But when you understand, will you go up and register as brave Negro girls to nurse our black boys back to life and health.

To the ministers of our city who are ever ready to forward any element for the uplift of our race, please urge from your pulpit, the importance of our young women masking the sacrifice to be army nurses.
As chairman of the Colored Council of Defense, I have investigated the alleged killing of the baby, Monday, July 29, at the Union Station and find no foundation in the rumor.
On behalf of the Council of Defense I wish to thank every lady that made it possible by her assistance for this to be the greatest demonstration ever held in the city of Nashville.
Too much cannot be said of the "Comfort Kit" Committee, the Finance Committee and the Lunch Committee, for the way in which each handled their individual department.
Many thanks to the Globe for the space given us in their widely circulated paper. Again we wish to extend an invitation to all the women of the city to come to headquarters, and do your bit. Six hundred boys are on the Flisk Campus to be given motherly attention and advice and it is to you to help do this. A day spent will mean much in patriotic service.

Afterward, upon consultation, it was decided to release this film at the earliest possible moment to the Committee on Public Information, that it may be shown throughout the country among the colored people of the United States, that they may be informed as to the splendid showing the men of the "race" are making on the side of the "race." All of the reports which come to the War Department that these men are standing the shocks of war admirably and are measuring up to the highest expectation of General Pershing and their military commanders.
