THE GRE
AN INSTRUCTIVE
BY REV. J.
President of Missionary Baptist State Convention
SEPTEMBER 4-10 INCLUSIVE
EVERYBODY INVITED.
(The following is the annual address of Rev. J. L. Harding, President of the Missionary Baptist State Convention which was unanimously adopted by the State Convention.) The assemblage of greetings from the various churches represented here, makes this a peculiar spot on earth. For the greetings brought or sent here are expressions of the highest type of self abnegation, whose chaperon is "Christian preferent." Christian fellowship, common interest and high ideals, make the moral atmosphere pure and inspiring, Under these conditions, my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, it gives me joy to come before you, to speak briefly of the past, conscientiously and firmly of the present, and suggestively but hopefully of the future. Here we will set up the first mile stone upon the highway of Negro Baptist progress in the state of Tennessee. A few days have we taken in which to erect a past, that will coincide with showers of criticism, and blasts of opposition, or one which will vie with the mountains and cliffs, in the galaxy of perpetuity.
During the year past every scheme, system, and organization on earth, whether of human invention or divine origin, have felt the shock of the unprecedented vicissitudes of the times. Not only have schemes been abandoned and repudiated, and systems dissembled, merged and countermanded, but organizations have been investigated and regulated, and a standing query is left with all that must be answered, giving good reasons for the right to even exist. The reason is not excepted, paganish questions may be heard in the market places, and around the fireplaces of our homes. A righteous man struggles in a mighty struggle with a religious autocracy. Righteous democracy is the basic government principle of human relation and conduct, it is of divine origin and was committed to the church by Jesus Christ, who said, "tell it to the church, and if he shall neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen and a publician." "Whatsoever ye bind on earth shall be bound in heaven," etc. The church with her ramifications, is heaven's court of last resort on earth.
The commitment of this great doctrine and faith, was made to the Missionary Baptist Church, a body of regenerated and baptized believers in Christ. The institution concerned with Christ, said, "Upon this rock I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." The church is the custodian and standard bearer of our democracy, all other institutions governments and empires must follow and imitate.
The human race does not will to, nor can they practice a purer democracy in any age, than that practiced by the church in that age. The democracy that recognizes and guarantees the rights of all the people, to participate on the basic principle of membership. The democracy that possesses any law or rule, that does not embark on a rule, and conserve the good of all alike, is unanimous consent, or by the free vote of the majority of the governed.
THE MOST SACRED PRINCIPLE.
Being good enough for the church, the nations of the earth can adopt no better, but whatever race or people adopt and practice it, has the approval of Him, upon whose shoulders rests the "government of the world." Jesus Christ. May we not understand the deep spiritual meaning of the order of our Lord and Christ, when he said, "Go make disciples in all parts of the world, baptizing them in the name of the Son and the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." Therefore let us thank God and take courage
For many centuries paganism felt secure, as the predominant force in the world, in things spiritual, as well as secular. Who that love the doctrine and order of the church, and can read the signs of the times, must feel an holy curiosity concerning the battles and wars of the past, as to the part played therein, and the effect of the doctrine and faith of the church thereafter. "All hall the power of Jesus' name," thank God we are living, not in the days of the reformation when the men of God, belted the civilized world with their testimonies, and sealed their faith with his holy blood, which shall cry unto God, until the mountains and rocks shall be pushed into the sea of oblivion. We not only hear the here and yonder, contending for the rights of humanity, freedom of conscience virtue and justice, but the individual voice will become an aggregation composing a whole when matrialism and socialism with all of their ramifications have disturbed the peace and happiness of the world, it is ours to be a part of; and to see one of the greatest nations that ever husband a part of the earth's surface, unsheath her sword, and wade into the whirlpool of a n-

PUBLISHING HOUSE PICNIC
GRAND SUCCESS
With the thermometer registering between 85 and 90 in the shade, the employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board betook themselves to the hills and the wooded spot, so far宽 and wide as Greenwood Park.
The occasion was the annual picnic that has been observed by the National Baptist Publishing Board for its employees for a number of years. The entire plant with its departments closed down tight for the occasion and at ten o'clock Tuesday morning special street cars, lids with those who manufacture and send out Baptist literature and supply supplies, together with their families, left the mammoth institution located at the corner of Locust and Second Avenue, North, and journeyed to the park. As soon as they arrived they scattered to the various portions of the forty or more acres each party or organization purchased for them. The National Baptist Publishing Board under the management of Dr. R. H. Boyd, the management of Dr. R. H. Boyd, the management of the ice cream and gave each employee who joined the picnic at the institution and went to them a full day's pay. Dr. Boyd stated it was one of the three well established occasions that every employee of the institution looks forward to. The first, he said, is the prayer service which occurs every morning; the second is the annual new year's dinner and the third is picnic day. They were a little late this year as is generally carried out this year and there was the rush in the various departments and the heavy quarter, the picnic was postponed. This was done in order that every order for Sunday school literature might be filled and there would not be one left over on picnic day. The picturequee scenery of Greenwood Park and rolling typography, making it an ideal spot for the observance of the day in the woods was an inducement that proved attractive, a number taking advantage of this, where the occasion was the annual picnic style. In selecting the day for the picnic in the chapel services the employees were allowed to name the event, the day of the event and the chieflers of the various department forming a committee of arrangements, and by special request on the part of the management of the institution everything was made ready and the 17th annual picnic went down into history as a complete success.
man carnage, under the banner of pure "democracy."
The progress of the gospel is symbolized in the white horse and his rider, Rev, _____, "going forth conquering and to conquer." May we not say, "ride on until materialism is compelled to take its place as a second and servant of the spirit."1. Ride on until socialism is purged of covetousness, and the blood stain is washed off the garment. Ride on until all nations know the fatherhood of God and recognize the universal brotherhood of man. Ride on until the jungles of ignorance shall be no more and faith drive superstition of the land like the golden rays of the morning sun chase away the lingering mist of the night.
OUR WORK
Our work in the field of missions will be recapitulated by the State Mission Board in their report. Organization for service has been our aim, it remains for the organized units to effectuate the objects of the Convention. You are not disqualified to judge their report, if you have done or stood ready to do your work. You think the plans are up to date, zealous workers are needed to follow the plan, which embraces, organizing new churches where needed and strengthening the weak ones.
OUR EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS.
Having adopted to foster the National Baptist Theological and Training Seminary and the Clarksville Normal School, our resolutions should bear such fruit at this session that the world will acknowledge as commendable. The time is not far distant, when the children in our Sunday schools today will be the men and women of tomorrow. Having been trained to think in the public schools, they will no longer bear with gramatical ignorance, illogical conclusions, and misquoted Scriptures, by the ministers as their leaders. The minister of the Gospel is out of order, when he says to his hearers, "I believe this, or that," about God's word. He should know and speak with authority the burning truth of salvation. For He who sent us, said, "Lo, I am with you till the world shall end." The preacher should know the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. "Ye shall know the truth to Revelations. "You shall make you free." Every necessary or essential allowance was written in the Bible for God's children, but no allowance is made for children. (Cor. 1:21. Foolishness of preaching does not mean that the preacher is foolish.) "Study to show myself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." We need today more ministers and better prepared ministers. The work of soul saving is the greatest occupation under the canopy of heaven, the richest reward awaits the laborer.

As to preparation the same is true of the Sunday school teacher, he or she many be plus and full of zeal, but without the knowledge of God's word, which is power, and wisdom to direct the ultimate aim of the Sunday school, which is winning souls to Christ, cannot be accomplished.
Napoleon, great in ambition, undaunted in will, was at the head of one of the greatest armies that ever lived. He was a man reated, humbled, rulined and exiled. Beacher said that "it was the German school house which destroyed Napoleon." Now, more than then, we are living in the mind or mental era. Therefore our schools must be opened and maintained. His excellence, President Wilson, is urging the public school teachers of the United States, "to study the deep spiritual meaning of Democracy, so as to be able to teach it to our children." They are to learn the true meaning of God, they must discover it in the light of God's word. Therefore our Theological and Bible schools must be maintained at whatever the cost.
THE WOMAN'S AUXILIARY
Can be relied upon to do their part in whatever field we may choose to glean. Their devotion to the cause of the Master is well known, their intelligence we must acknowledge, their co-operation we have had in the past and it will be more effective in the future. In the language of the apostle Paul I say, "Help those women which labor with us in the gospel."
Let us regard the past as our school master, occupying the present in readiness to grapple with the great problems and responsibilities of the hour and resolutely face the future with faith in God, and the determination to contend for the faith and doctrine, once delivered to the saints.
I wish for your careful attention and serious consideration of the following:
THE ORGANIC STATUS OF THE NEGRO BAPTIST OF THE U. S. A. AND THE ADVISABILITY OF ITS PERPETUITY.
A righteous end cannot be attained through an unholy alliance. The spirit of trickery, and unaffairfulness to the people has opened headquarters in Tennessee, and branch offices are maintained in Helena, Ark. Chicago, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama and many other places. Brethren in Tennessee, conspire against the people, and by intimidation and harrangue, robed the people of their constitutional rights to vote, kept the money they had paid for representation fee, then passed a resolution in their absence, debarring nearly one hundred churches, which were the majority of the Convention. Since that date spells out how much more force in the states above mentioned. They have conspired and procured a charter in order that they might commit another unfaithful act, they had spent all the money the Negro Baptist of (Continued on page S.)
Messengers from the Sunday school, Women's Auxiliary and churches throughout the confines of the stone River Association are here this week holding their annual sessions out at the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in South Nashville. The first of the week was taken up in the Sunday School Convention of which Rev. J. C. Fields, D. D., is the President and Rev. G. B. Taylor is the Secretary. Following this came the Women's Auxiliary, H. H. President and Mrs. J. L. Hardin, Secretary. Afterwards the Association proper. The pastor of the church, Rev. Mr. Stoner and his congregation gave a great welcome to the representatives at the opening session, and from that time up to Friday, reports indicated a most successful meeting. Special sermons and addresses have been delivered at the various sessions. One of the interesting features was the Model Sunday school conducted by the Sunday school forces of the Association. The prime object around which the Association is rallying is Christian Education, Home and Foreign Missions. The Association proposes to raise a big annual money for the Theological Seminary and that they are in making with the State Convention in making the $2,500.0 Educational Rally a big success. The moderator of the Association, Rev. Tom Allen Brown, has presided throughout with the actual sessions; he came down with quite a delegation from his section of the State. No information as to the election of the various officers was handled practically no opposition and no outed, but it is understood that there candidates are in the field. Sunday is to be a big day with all of the Baptist forces. During the week the various officers are to meet the delegates on the grounds, co-operating with the Association are perhaps forty odd churches in and about Greater Nashville, augmented by a large number from other counties. Stone River is regarded as one of the largest Associations in the State, and is by far, the largest outside of West Tennessee. Several years ago when the Association was in session in this city the delegations marched to the National Baptist Publishing Board in a body and took in the entire plant. Secretary Boyd this year, delivered a special address before the Association, extending them the usual invitation to visit the Publishing Board and its plant.
VISITS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
During the past week it was learned that some of the leading white Baptists of the North and South had visited the Theological Seminary and Training School site. Whether it was intentional or one of the natural bequests thrown at the Negro Baptists for their educational effort was not learned, but it is stated that during the course of the sight-seeing tour around the city the automobiles came to a stop in close proximity to the splendid buildings and the magnificent campus now owned by the National Baptists known as the Theo
logical and Training Seminary, about which so much has been said, where a great summer school has just white Baptists of the South augment-closed. Just whether or not the ed and joined by those of the North will double up with the Negro Baptists and build a great university for religious training is said will depend entirely upon just how well Negro groves themselves carry their own plans. Several interested white leaders have been open in their expressions, that such a thing would be feasible and that no better time than now could be selected to do it.
PRESIDENT JONES IN THE NORTH
Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 8. $—Rev. Edward P. Jones, D. D., president of the National Baptist Convention, reached this city today from points in Indiana. He stated he had just begun a trip that would take him considerably over the north, visiting such cities as Indianapolis, Chicago and St. Louis, and that he would go as far west as Kansas City. He came to this city from South Carolina and the Virginias. He has been the guest of a number of the Baptist people of these states. When asked when he expected to go to Nashville he stated he was waiting on instructions and in all probabilities he would be in Nashville between the 15th and 17th going almost directly to Little Rock Convention.
AUTO PARTY FROM ATLANTA
On Friday morning of this week an auto party of four prominent Atlanta people passed through Nashville. They were driving through from Detroit, Mich. There were our automobiles: one Hudson, latest model, and three Dodge cars. In the party were Mr. D. W. Kelley and Mr. J. A. Robinson together with Mr. W. H. Holcomb and Mr. W. A. Serls. They report that the trip was successful and that other than some Men's Christian Association with a Baptist Publishing Board, the Young Men's Christian Association in the road, it had been enjoyable. They viewed the Nationa few other points of interest in the city. They did not remain over more than two or three hours, as they were planning on making Chattanooga by Friday night.
1.266 MORE DRAFTEES
It is understood that Tennessee is to furnish 1,266 more Negro men for service and according to telegraphic information from the Nation's Capital and according to orders handed out by Major Rutledge Smith, this will practically exhaust the class one registrants. Already preparations for a big send-off are being made and the council of defense, both men and women are making preparations to give them the attention that they are entitled to. As yet, no information as to who they are has appeared in the papers, as soon as the lists are obtainable, they will be given to the public.
PRESIDENT EDW. P. JONES OFFICIALLY GALLS N. B. C.
PREPARING FOR NATIONAL CONVENTION
Preparations for a large delegation going from this city to Little Rock, Ark., next month are well under way. The local ministers through their Ministers, Alliance, the leaders in the Stone River Association and the leaders and officers of the Baptist State Convention have been conferring during the past weeks over the probability of carrying a special train out of Nashville. It has been known that North Alabama and East Tennessee wanted to join Nashville in this movement and that the plan is to carry this special through from Nashville to Little Rock, where the leaders will hold its next annual session, opening on Wednesday morning, September 4th and continuing in session until the 9th. President Jones is expected in the city at an early date, when he will confer with a number of the Baptist leaders before the Convention. Then, too, the official program that was made at the Sunday School Congress during the month of June is in the hands of the printers and it is said that Nashville is well represented once more on the program once more on the program. The novice badge for the Convention is understood to be in the making, while all off the various bodies are planning big representations for the occasion. The general committee at Little Rock has just sent out a notice that preparations for the care of the delegates are about complete. Much interest is centered in the meeting of this convention the year, as it is understood that they will take up the matters upon peace and harmony in the ranks of the Negro Baptists throughout the country. Just how it will take it seems no one of the Baptist leaders from either faction of this city cares to venture an assertion, but it is well known that one of the largest delegations in the history of the organization is planning to attend the Little Rock Meeting.

Let us strive to emulate the principle of waiting on the Lord and he will bring all things to pass. Sunday evening at 8 o'clock p. m., the pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon. The house was at high pitch, it has been some time since a meeting like this occurred in Bethel. The pastor has preached some good sermons but this was considered the best by all who heard him. Show what side you are on by attending church service regular. The church needs you and you need the church.

PRESS SERVICE—NATIONAL ASSOCIATION_OF TEACHERS IN COLORED SCHOOLS.
Harper's Ferry, W. Va., Aug. 5 special: The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, which has just concluded a four days' session at Storer college in this beautiful and historic city of John Brown fame, adopted the following resolution prior to adjournment:
"We heartily endorse the annual address of the President of our Association, and we especially commend its high spirit of patriotism and its plea for increased facilities for universal education. We join him in urging teachers to remain at their posts and not to be allured away from their patriotic service in educating youths by attractive salaries in other fields of labor. That it is the sense of this body that we urge upon parents everywhere to keep their children in school, and that they should not allow the discouraging effects of the draft, nor the temporary attraction of high wages to lesson their efforts in any way to educate their children. And that, while this education must include college training, it must be largely industrial and highly practical.
EDUCATION AND THE STATE.
"Whereas between 49,000 and 50,000 illiterate men were brought into the army by the first draft, and whereas the later calls are revealing the same appalling conditions of illiteracy, and since the great majority of these unfortunate men are Negroes from the South; be it resolved, that we memorialize the several states to make adequate provision for the education of the Negro youths and thus more effectively destroy ignorance, which is the arch enemy of democracy, we urge all the states to follow the good example of West Virginia in paying equal salaries to all teachers for the same work. We urge teachers of Negro youths to train them carefully and throughout in their civic duties and responsibilities and to encourage them in the full and proper exercise of their civic rights and privileges.
DR. ARTHUR L. FRAZIER SUC
CESSFUL
The many friends of Dr. Arthur L. Frazier will be glad to know that he was successful in passing III., State Board and will practice in that state. Dr. Frazier was a popular member of the eDental class of 1918.

We welcome this holiday especially, why? Oh Joy.
When we will go, and where we will go is the question. We don't know, but we will know, and YOU shall know. Every body is cognizant of the past record of the 24th Infantry and we assure you this enviable attribute which is now ours, shall ever be parmount.

We recognize the genosity of the editor of the Globe for sookly allowing space for news from this regiment, being greatful we shall inductor to publish such doings that will prove of the greatest interest to you each week.

"We urge our institutions of learning to keep a sharp lookout for the valuable practical lessons that the war is forcing upon the attention of educators everywhere, especially the training men and women speedily for prizes in material efficiency as well along lines of patriotism and philanthropy.
LOOKING AHEAD.
"We would call attention to the desirability of placing the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, by increased enrollment, by aid from State Associations, and otherwise, upon such a financial footing as will enable us to publish our reports and such other periodicals as would set forth our purposes, aims and ideals.

Prof. J. R. E. Lee, founder of the organization was absent for the first time in fifteen years, owing to dates in concession with his work in the summer school of Wisconsin University at Madison. Wise Mr. Lee was the first president of the organization and afterwards became corresponding secretary, when position he ably filled for nearly ten years. No member of the organization has more friends throughout the country in the teaching profession than Prof. Lee. A telegram from him regretting his absence was read at the convention and expressing his loyalty to the future of the organization.
Prof. E. A. Long, of Cambria, Va., the best treasurer the organization has ever had, found it necessary to resign at the recent session on account of the condition of his health. Those who have served with Mr. Long for a number of years regret very much that he felt compelled to resign at the recent session his official connection with the body.

WHY WE MUST SEND WHEAT.
Supplement. Wheat is a starch.
Supplying Wheat for the Armies and the Allies is a Military Necessity and an Act of National Defense, the Redemption of an Obligation of Which Our National Honor is Pledged.
The Allies ask America for wheat, ry, corn, barley and oats, and we are sending them in large amounts. They ask us especially, however, for wheat. They ask it as the necessary basis for their necessary loaf. They must have bread, and they must have bread which will keep sweet and palatable for several days. What is the basis for the durable raised bread loaf.
Troops must have bread carried to the front from bakeries behind the lines; it must be a durable raised loaf.
Workers in the war factories must have bread from commercial bakeries. The women in the factories can not be bakers also. Their bread must be the durable raised loaf.
All France depends on the bakeries for its bread. The people do not know how to bake in the home. They have no ovenes for baking, nor could they afford fuel for them if they had. All the bread of France and England and Italy to-day is war bread. It is made of gray wheat flour, milled at a high extraction rate; that is, a larger-proportion of the wheat grain is now put into the flour than formerly was the case. Their flour now contains more of the outer parts of the wheat grain, parts which formerly were used for the flour, and used as feed for animals. This flour is then mixed with as large a percentage—usually 25 per cent—of flour made from other cereals as can be used and still permit the making of the raised loaf.
In England this war bread can not be sold until it is 12 hours old, so that the people won't be tempted to eat too much fresh bread. In France and Italy the bread is rationed according to the age and occupation of each person. A child has less than an adult; a light worker less than one who does heavy labor. France has always lived on bread. Of the average Frenchman's normal diet 52 per cent is composed of bread and but 48 per cent of other foods France has just put her whole
NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY AUGUST 9. 1918
people on a rigorous bread ration which limits them to only two-thirds of the amount they have been accustomed to. In the Allied countries they are using as little wheat as will give them bread at all and as little of this bread as is possible to keep them in health and strength. The people of Belgium are living on a relief ration. Over 1,000,000 of them get their daily bread and soup by standing in line long hours before the relief kitchens. They have stood in these long soup lines every day for three and one-half years. But they do not complain. They only ask that the soup and bread be there every day. They depend upon America.
We are, as we have said, sending corn and other cereals to England, France, Italy, and Belgium. These cereals are shipped as fast as they can be used. But the people can not live on them alone. They do not know how. They are unable to cook them properly. They must have wheat to mix with them and with potatoes to make their bread. We are now sending wheat to the limit of our cargo space, and yet we are only meeting the minimum requirements of these people. In order to continue doing this, our people must share their present wheat supply.
We are dividing our wheat evenly to-day between ourselves and the Allies. We must not use before the next harvest more than one-half of the wheat we have. Even with one-half of our wheat the loaf of the Allies is small. It can not be made smaller without undermining their strength and morale. Is there any doubt what we shall do in this emergency? We have just one thing to do, and that is to save wheat and send wheat.
IS WHEAT INDISPENSABLE IN
OUD DIET?
The question naturally arises, however: To what extent can the wheat to which we are now accustomed in our diet be reduced without injury to the health of the individual of the Nation? This question was put by the Food Administration to a committee of experts recently assembled in Washington to consider the special physiological problems involved in the general problem of wheat conservation.
Dr. R. H. Chittenden, Professor of Physiological Chemistry and Dean of Sheffield Scientific School, Yale.
Dr. Graham Lusk, Professor of Physiology, Cornel University.
Dr. E. V. McCullum, Professor of Bio-Chemistry, John Hopkins University.
Dr. L. B. Mendel, Professor of Physiological Chemistry, Yale University ty.
C. L. Alsberg, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Dr. F. C. Longworthy, Chief, Home Economics Division, State Extension Service. U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, Professor of Physiological Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania.
Prof. Vernon Kellogg, Stanford University.
Dr. Raymond Pearl, School of Hygiene, John Hopkins University.
Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, formerly Dean of the Stanford University Medical School; now President of Stanford University.
The committee as may be seen, was composed of the highest physiological authorities in the country. Their answer to the question was direct and unequivocal.
It is the scientific opinion of the committee that in a mixed diet wheat may be entirely replaced, without harm, by other available cereals, namely, rice, barley, oats, and corn. However, we should not recommend this except as an emergency measure.
The committee's particular reason for not recommending this, apart from the fact that wheat is perhaps the most convenient cereal for use because of its special qualities connected with the making of bread in loaves that will stand up and remain sweet and palatable for several days, is that going without wheat would be a psychological though not a physiological deprivation. We are accustomed as a Nation, just as most of the nations of Europe are, to the use of wheat bread, and a sudden break in our custom would have for some people a psychological significance more or less disturbing. However, if these people could well understand the emergency leading to the change, and then could recognize that they are aiding their country in the great emergency by making the change, this psychological disturbance would be much reduced.
Exactly this condition of a great national emergency, to meet which the loyal and patriotic efforts of all the people are needed, is the condition to-day. It is only because of this great national emergency that the oFod Administration makes use of this deliberate judgment of the physiological experts called in for advice. Even under these circumstances, it is recognized that because of economic and commercial reasons, not all of the people of America can go without bread based on wheat, but it is certain that a great many people in this country can easily do so. Is the need for bread based on it the sake of maintaining the wheat-bread supply for the armies and civilians of our fighting associates in the war, as well as our own soldiers in France, every patriotic American who can possibly do so will be glad to dispense entirely with wheat from now until the next harvest.

The sugar shortage in our country is so grave that the household allowance was reduced on August 1 to two pounds per person per month. Our soldier and sailors must have all the sugar they need and they can have this amount of sugar if we at home follow the regulations of the Food Administration.
It is your patriotic duty to see that your readers understand the situation and to do their part to meet it. We suggest that you make editorial comment upon the necessity for the sugar. We know that you can be depended upon to present the case as it is.
Urge our people to eat less sugar an dto use instead sorghum, molasses, syrup, honey, fruits (fresh and dried). Your readers gave the nation special service by saving sugar, ask them to do equally as well in saving sugar.
PRESIDENT WILSON PLEASED WITH COLORED EDITOR'S CONFERENCE.
Warmly Commends "Fine Philosophy of . . Democracy" Exhibited in Frank and Calm Consideration of War Issues—Sets Inspiring Example for all Patriotic Americans.
Special to the Nashville Globe.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 7—President Wilson is greatly pleased w. the conference of colored editors and other leaders of thought and opinion among the colored citizens of the country, held a short time ago in this city. The report of the conference has been published far and wide and has given the larger measure of attention than the report of any similar gathering of colored men since emancipation.
'a recent letter, the Chief Executive of the Nation plainly indicates his deep interest and genuine satisfaction with the meeting and its successful outcome, as well as with the meeting and its successful outcome, as well as practical results that have accrued from the frank and unharmed interchange of views as to how 12,000,000 Negroes of the country might most effectively aid America to win this righteous war for freedom and world-wide democracy. The President feels that the problems considered by the conference were 'grave and weighty,' and he is cheered by the though that the whole state of feeling throughout the country will be helped by the broad spirit of patriotism which dominates the conferences in their calm, dignified and high-nourished deliberations.
In no uncertain terms, the President warmly commends the colored representatives of the press for their timely emphasis of national unity on the vital issues involved in the war and applauds the inspiring example set by them for the war effort to hurt the welcoming of the nation in its present crisis. The full text of the President's letter to the Chairman of the Conference follows:
PRESIDENT'S LETTER ON SPIRIT OF THE CONFERENCE
The White House, Washington,
July 31, 1918.
Dear Mr. Scott:
Your letter of June 26th has been
called to my attention, and I am both
interested and pleased with the report
it gives of the meeting held in
Washington by the leaders of thought
and opinion among the Negro citi-
zens of the country.
The problems considered by the
conference of special importance to
the people whom they represent, are
grave and weighty, and the whole
state of feeling throughout the
country will be helped by the frank
and calm consideration given to
these matters.
In the meantime, it is cheering to
see that the fine philosophy of democ-
racy, which is at this time the
inspiration of the great effort of our
country, was felt and expressed by
the conferences as the dominating
thought which ought to control all
Americans in the present Crisis.
The War Department.
This ungrudging endorsement of the Colored Editors' Conference and sincere tribute to the loyalty of the colored citizens to the cause held dearest to all Americans will hearten the Negro people all over the land. The President's ringing utterance in denunciation of mob violence, the acceptance of colored nurses for war service, and a score of advantageous plans for the induction of the Negro soldiers in technical schools and training camps for officers, followed closely by this exceedingly cordial letter of the President, give ground for belief that the Negro-American is, during these days of national emergency and need, coming to be recognized more and more by the general Government as a factor of importance in the winning of the war.
Mrs. Mattie Bartlett and grand daughter, Miss Leoda McGavock of Adams who have been in the city several weeks visiting relatives and friends at 2515 Almeda Street returned to their respective/ homes, Thursday. They report an enjoyable stay.
A LETTER FROM ONE OF OUR SOL
DIER BOYS
I am well and doing fine and I hope these few lines will find you all the same. We are having some fine weather here now. I like here fine, but there is no place like the States. The band is playing now and it makes me feel like that that I am come back home. Please send me some good books to read. Tell all of my friends that I say hello, that I will see them soon. Write to me every week. I am always glad to hear from home and tell me all of the news that go on around there. I am a long, long, ways fró mhone. Are you getting your money. I cannot say much but you can tell me anything that goes on. Bye-bye. From your loving son, Adalph A. Goodloe. A BLACK AMERICAN.
By Dr. Charles Edward Locke.
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson writes from the East to her relatives in Los Angeles that during a recent visit from Irving Cobb, the brilliant writer, who has just returned from the battlefields in Europe, he related to her the interesting story or how a Negro soldier has been the first American to receive the Croix de Guerre, with the accompanying palm branch decoration from the French others before he may have been born. He alone, but the distinguished honor has been conferred upon this hero in ebony of the additional palm decoration, together with the cross.
Mr. Cobb says that a French general visited the hospital where the colored man was recovering from wounds received in the brave encounter which almost cost the hero his life, and pinned the cross and the palm upon his breast, and then stooped down and kissed him upon both cheeks. In these tragic and memorable days, when yellow men, and brown men, and black men and white men are fighting side by side in response to the world's safe pace for mothers and their babies, and to freedom democracy from the savage butcher-of Berlin, is it not time to put aside all such racial prejudices and discriminations as will cause the white man to imperiously claim superiority at the expense of the humiliation or discomfort of the members of the other races?
The Almighty did not make a Hily-white world, and there is no nation on earth which is a Hily-white nation, and why then should it be thought that it is in accordance with the provinces of God that there should be a Hily-white church, especially the Church whose brilliant and heavenly commissioned founder triumphantly declared, "The world is my parish";—Los Angeles, Cal., Christian Advocate.
COMMANDER OF STUDENT ARMY
TRAINING CAMP
Washington, D. C., Aug. 7—Lieut. Russell Smith has been detailed as commanding officer of the Washington Student Army Training Camp just opened on the Howard University grounds.
Lieut. Smith is a native of Covington Va., where he was reared and received a rudimentary education in the public schools. He enlisted in the 10th United States Calvary, and served with Troop B of that organization thirteen years. He saw foreign service with the gallant 10th Cavary in the Philippines and in Mexico. He attended the Reserve Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines last year and was graduated, receiving a commission as first lieutenant. His most recent military service was at Camp Dix where he served on a detail with the 153d Depot Brigade and with a field artillery regiment at that station. His commission and assignment have been earned by diligent and meritocratic
The Student Army Training Camp at Howard is for the instruction of representatives of colored colleges throughout the land, to the number of 300, who will be given intensive training in military science and tactics for a period of forty-seven days, after which they will return to their respective institutions to train others in the work which they have learned. Provision has been made for the formation of a student army corps which will be advantageous to the national army when the young men are eventually called to the colors. Many colored schools are taking advantage of this training offered at Howard University.
WAR DEPARTMENT BUREAU
STEADY GROWING
Washington, D. C., Aug. 7—When Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, was called to Washington last October to serve as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, he immediately requested the Department of Commerce to release Mr. William H. Davis, who for many years had been performing stenographic and other technical work in that Department of the Government, and who for many years had been serving as the official stenographer of the National Negro Business League, Mr. Davis was accordingly released and has been serving as secretary and first assistant to Mr. Scott since the beginning of his work in Washington.
The office force was later enlarged by the addition of Mr. Charles A. Wilson of Boston, Mass., a stenographic helper, and within the last few weeks by the further addition of Mr. Charles L. Webb, of Chicago, Ill., a stenographic helper, formerly status clerk in the United States General Land Office, Interior Department, and Mr. R. W. Thompson, the well-known correspondent, who has been transferred to serve as an assistant in handling the many intricate problems which come to the office of the Special Assistant, whose bureau looks after matters affecting the interests of colored soldiers and colored citizens generally during the period of the prose

ent war, and is setting in conjunction with the Committee on Public Information and other agencies of the Government in the important work of stimulating the continued loyalty of the colored Americans. The duties involving upon Mr. Scott have grown steadily in volume and gravity and it has been necessary to steadily increase his office force to keep pace with the overwhelming mass of correspondence that flows daily into the office and to properly care for the welfare of the hundreds of cases that constantly press for attention and touch every possible phase of the activities of the colored people of the nation.
WAR FINANCE CORPORATION AIDS FARMERS.
In compliance with telegramed instructions from Secretary McAdoo, the War Finance Corporation has wired Federal reserve banks at Dallas, Kansas City and Minneapolis to notify banks and trust companies in their respective districts, nonmembers as well as members of the Federal Reserve System, or the managers of those financial institutions which had made loans to farmers and cattlemen. Droughts in these districts are creating a serious condition for the farmers and this action is taken to relieve the situation. Secretary McAdoo stated that no industry was more vital to the war than raising wheat, corn, live stock and other food products, and that I have made loans on the notes of farmers, since they are engaged in an industry not only necessary and contributory to the winning of the war but vital to it.
THE PRESIDENT ON MOB SPIRIT
"I have called upon the Nation to put its great energy into this war and it has responded—responded with a spirit and genius for action that has thrilled the world. I now call upon it, upon its men and women everywhere, to see to it that its laws are kept inviolate, its fame uninshred. "
"I can never accept any man as a champion of liberty either for our ourselves or for the world who does not reverence and obey the laws of our own beloved land, whose laws we ourselves have made. He has adopted the standards of the enemies of his country, whom he affects to deceive."
President Wilson
EXCHANGE OF LIBERTY
BONDS.
The issue of registered bonds of the Third Liberty Loan has progressed so far that transfers and exchanges of registered for coupon bonds will be made on and after August 1 until August 15. The registry, books will be closed on the later date in order to prepare checks for interest payments on September 15. Bonds may be presented during such period for transfer or exchange, but such transaction will be elected after September 15 and the September interest paid to whomever was holder of the bonds on August 15.
Coupon bonds presented after August 15 for exchange for registered bonds should have the September interest coupon detached; the registered bonds issued upon such exchange will bear interest from September 15.
HIGH PRODUCTION OF ARMS
AND MUNITIONS.
The attention of owners of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps is called to the following. They are financing the work:
On one day in June last approximately 27,000,000 cartridges of various descriptions were produced in the United States manufacturing plants for the United States government.
The daily average production of United States Army rifles was broken in the week ending June 29, an average of 10,142 rifles a day of a modified Enfield and Springfield type being maintained. In addition spare pumps equal to several thousand thousand rifles and several thousand Russian rifles were manufactured.
The Ordnance Department has produced 2,014,815,854 cartridges, 1,886,769 rifles, and 82,540 machine guns since the United States entered the war. The daily output of cartridges is now 15,000,000.
DID NOT BORROW TO BUY BONDS.
The Federal Reserve Bulletin says that one of the most encouraging and gratifying features of the Third Liberty Loan is that apparently there has been little use of bank accommodations for the purchase of the bonds. It estimates that probably more than 80 per cent of the bonds are already fully paid for.
The financial statements of the various Federal reserve banks indicate, according to the Bulletin, that not much borrowing from the banks was done by the subscribers to the third loan. They either paid cash or bought on the installment plan.
This eases a great deal the burden of the banks, upon whose shoulders rests the financing of the business and industry of the country.
AN AUGUST CONCEPTION.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet and essayist, writing some 75 years ago, said:
"The possible destiny of the United States of America as a Nation of a hundred million of free men, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, living under the laws of Alfred and speaking the language of Shakespeare and Milton, is an august conception."
The United States is now a Nation of a hundred million and more stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific and reaching out east takes in Hawaii and the Philippines, in the North Alaska, and in the south the Pacific. But grander than its physical is its moral greatness. Its fairness and justice, its courage and power, its maintenance of right and freedom cover the world.
The destiny the United States is now fulfilling is a more august conception than even the imagination of the author of Kuba Khan conceived of less than a century ago.
SAVING AND SERVING.
By economizing in consumption and with the resultant saving purchasing the Government's war securities the American citizen performs a double duty. The citizen and the Government cannot use the same labor and material; if the citizen uses it, the

material and the labor cannot be used by the Government. If the citizen economizes in consumption, so much material and labor and transportation space is left free for Government uses. And when the saving effected is lent to the Government more money is thus placed at the disposal or the Government.
The more the people save the more money, labor and materials are left for the winning of the war, the greater and more complete the support given to our fighting men.
LIBERTY LOAN AND
SAVINGS BANKS.
The effect of the Liberty Loans and the War Savings Stamps on savings banks' deposits has been watched with keen interest by economists and financiers. The experience of England was very encouraging; in the year 1916 the English small depositors purchased billions of dollars of war bonds and at the same time increased their deposits in savings banks over $60,000,000.
The belief is entertained that the result in America has been very similar to that in England, and that despite the purchase by the American people of some of the Liberty Bonds, more than $50,000,000 of the War Savings Stamps, a very fair proportion of which were purchased by savings bank depositors, savings banks deposits have increased.
Full reports have been received from the savings banks in New York State. They show a decrease in deposits for the last year of only $8,000,000, but an increase of 21,252 deposits. The loss in deposits is insignificant; the increase in the number of depositors very significant. With increased cost of living and other war conditions, the decrease in deposits might well be expected; the increase of deposits shows that the saving habit is greatly growing in our country.

The watermelon smilingly red. Oh, joy!
Goodbye, Governor Rye, take care of yourself.
But you haven't bought your quota of thrift stamps yet.
Good morning! Are you drying any okra for next winter's soup?
Oh, well, this is to remind you to put in your winters supply of coal if you haven't already done so.
The watermelon is another institution of which the by-product is the best part. Watermelon pickles.
Nashville Negro women are right there when it comes to looking after the comfort of the soldier boys.
This year we should accept the statements of the farmers as to how tall their corn is and not waste a single stork for display purposes.
The Editor again wishes to thank his legion friends for their solicitude. When we are stronger we'll make a more formal acknowledgement. Thanks, again thanks.

One little letter can make a whale of a difference. For instance, you may have already reflected that a suspicious time is not an auspicious one.

Wouldn't you think that one of the sons of the kaiser would sprain an ankle or get the toothache or something—just to get the name of a Hohenzollern into the casualty list.
Nobody can seriously object to the democrats playing politics, so long as they play it reasonably fair and do not put it above country. What lots of people object to is playing politics and then lying about it.
American people can make their patriotism sweet by not using sugar in any quantity, or in the smallest portions. Cut sugar out; it is not necessary to the pursuit of happiness except in cases where the mind and body have been made servants of the appetite.
Entering now into the fifth year of the world's war, let no false hopes of an early peace obscure the national vision. Attila is still at the gate, bruised and beaten, it is true, but not yet defeated. The United States as the last great nation to enter the struggle, must deal the deathblow to the Hun-nd the final analysis of war
After being turned down as a candidate for governor at the democratic conference in New York State William Randolph earst caused his principal newspaper to print an editorial friendly to Gov. Whitman, republican. Gov. Whitman's manager, stiff with fright, announced immediately that "Whitman's party will not support, and you cannot make this too emphatic." It is getting to be a tough old world for an honest newspaper man as Wm. Randolph Hearst has reflected.
Great loss without some small gain—the war is developing some of our boys and showing them what they are good for. Some of the farmer lads who couldn't assemble a load of corn in ten hours are throwing a machine gun together in three minutes. Others, who have never shown any friendship for work, have been known to get out in the morning after spending a night on top of the ground under a bombardment from enemy aircraft, fight for a pick and shovel and throw more dirt than a steam excavator until they secured a hole to crawl in.
NEGRO ON COMMITTEE.
The Negroes of the 10th Congressional District and especially of Shelby County, are to be congratulated upon their signal victory in having the Hon. R. R. Church named as one of the State Republican Executive Committeemen from their neck of the woods. The Lincoln League made an aggressive fight, asking no quarter nor giving none, they sought for the right of the race to be seen and to be heard in the councils of the party. The white Republicans of Shelby County, seeing that the Negroes were so energetically in earnest that they capitulated and accorded the League's candidate, Mr. Church, the coveted honor without a struggle.
Mr. Church will be the first Negro to occupy this position in a long, long while. A number of years ago the late Joe T. Settles was a Committee man at large, but after his death ng Negro has been on the committee. The Negro has heretofore been ridden Jackass-like to the entrance of the portals of mighty and then abruptly hitched on the outside to await the return of his rider who returned not.
The leading colored men of Shelby County got tired of the above kind of procedure and got busy and the result of their activities was the brittle of the Lincoln League. This organization began to make things happen from the start. It made the sleepy Negro voter wake up and work politically while it was day they instilled the hope of manhood and honored integrity into his soul, made him feel that life was worth Eving, in fact the league made the Negro seek salvation at the political fountain until he was regenerated and born again.
In the choice of Mr. Church as Committeeman Tennessee will be put on the map of politics for the Negro in letters of flaming light so that he who runs may read.
It is to be hoped that some other Congressional districts of the State will do as the 10th has done. The majority of the republican voters in the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th districts are Negroes. Let them act with sense and discretion.
THE IMPERIAL BLUSTERER
The emperor of Germany may look austere and diabolical when in silence he broods and plots behind the curtain of his medieval armaments but when he speaks he appears a weak, a desperate and a blasphemous man. His proclamation or August 1st may be in some degree inspiring to Germany; though it is hard to see how that can be. To the people that are allied against him his speech brings no serious thought at all, but merely contempt for its futility. The emperor of Germany speaks like a man who beats his hands in frenzy against walls that, after the rashion in Poe's weird tale, close inexorably upon him.
All the forces of Germany were drawn upon to crush the western allies last spring. Now all that the kaiser dare say with regard to the fort is that "mighty blows have fallen." The danger of American intervention was laughed by Germans to storm. And now the kaiser must say that "American armies do not frighten us." The high seas fleet, represented to the country as triumphant over England at Jutland lies cooped behind land defenses and the kaiser can only pretend that it is serving the fatherland magnificently by guarding the road for submarines themselves have admittedly failed even in the rechstag that is admitted; yet the kaiser must maintain the tone of diety and say "my submarines are sure of success."
"American armies and numerical superiority do not frighten us" says Wilhelm. Then there are some in Germany who have become alarmed at the numerical superiority brought about by American armies and need to be reassured. "It is spirit which brings decision." Then there have been generated some doubts as to whether German spirits are inexhaustable. "The submarines are tenaciously attacking and fighting the vital forces which are streaming across the sea." Then the power of contemptible America is vital; it is streaming to the front; the submarines are meeting also tenacious resistance. "The army and the homeland are inseparably bound together." In a "United stand and unbending will." It has remained for the kaiser to question the permanence of the union and the unshaken quality of the will. Oh well,—iet him whistle his loudest. It is a great deal to ask of an autocrat to talk truthfully and with real courage when another autocrat has just been braced up against a post, with his lips moving but no words issuing therefrom. We cannot but wonder whether the blustering Wilhelm would behave like a man or a coward if he, too, were told that he must rely for his life within two short hours upon his divinity.

I am sending the enclosed corre-

I sent you the first article about
a week ago. Kindly inform me whe-
ther or not you received same, send-
ing me chipping from or copies of
the leading papers in which it ap-
pears.
If not too much trouble I should be pleased to have you send marked copies of the leading papers in which my articles appear to my wife, Mrs. Bessie L. Stevenson, 3085 Kerper Avenue, Lawnut Hills, Cincinnati, O., U. S. A.

Sir:
I have a letter from the National Negro Press Association of the United States, authorizing me to act as its War Correspondent and, in that capacity, to forward to its newspapers everything of interest concerning the activities of colored soldiers in France.
Herewith I enclose copy of same, also copy of another letter, both or which are self-explanatory. I have the originals in my possession.
It has occurred to me that not only would it be fitting and proper, but a great encouragement to my people, if I could forward to the Association in question a letter from you telling of the patriotism of the colored soldiers over here, in the rear and at the front, and the confidence you place in them.
This letter would be published simultaneously in all of the papers of the Association and would, undoubtedly, increase the enthusiasm and readiness of the colored people everywhere.
Holding the request herein contained will be granted, and with a high appreciation for the services you are rendering our country, I am sir,
American Expeditionary Forces Office of the Commander-in-Chief
Dear Sir:
In reply to your recent letter I wish to assure you that I place the greatest confidence in the patriotism and devotion of our colored soldiers and their splendid work both in the front line and in the Services of SUPPLY.

The fourth of July was a great day in France. It was observed as a holiday, stores, banks, etc., being closed. The people were dressed in their best and everywhere the American flag was prominently displayed with the colors of the Allies.

RAISE A PIG THIS MOTHER IS RAISING FOUR.
This place is a small city but an immense parade was—held in the morning. Many thousands of American, French and British soldiers and sailors marched. The Y. M. C. A. was represented with about seventy-five workers. There are now three American colored women in France and others are to be sent over to serve the thousands of colored troops in the front and rear of the city. One of these color women is located at this base and was in the parade. The members of the Y. M. C. A. marched like real soldiers and were cheered along the line of march. Among the American troops were thousands of Colored soldiers. As they marched through the streets of this city the people waved their hats and handkerchiefs and greeted them with "Vive l'Amerique." It made me feel proud to know that these men whose forefathers fought in order that the Union might be saved, were now in France doing their bit toward making the world "safe for democracy."
In the afternoon there was a track meet at one of the camps, where all sorts of athletics were indulged in including a mule race, which was very amusing. At another camp there was a barbecue.
Thousands of French people were carried to the camps in Uncle Sams army trucks and Y. M. C. A. auto-mobiles, and great numbers of both French and English witnessed the games and joined in the spirit of the day. It was not difficult for them to foray after all, both English and French soldiers fought in the war during which it was written the Declaration of Independence.
It was a great day in France for all the Allies.
NEWS FROM OVER THERE—WAR CORRESPONDENT APPOINTED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION LAST FEBRUARY, SENDS OUT HIS FIRST INSTALLMENTS.
"SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE."
By Wm. Stevenson, Overseas War Correspondent for National Negro Press Association.
Inasmuch as this is my first letter to the National Negro Press Association I deem it proper to first touch upon the importance of the Y. M. C. A., under the auspices of which I am doing my "bit."
Like many others, I have for many years been interested in, and read considerable concerning the importance of its work.
Several years ago a campaign was put on in Cincinnati, under the Rosenwald plan, for the construction of a building for colored men. Your humble servant was captain of the winning team which wrote $3,800,000 worth of subscriptions in ten days. It has been my pleasure to visit some of the organization's finest and most complete buildings and to spend three months in Army Y. M. C. A. work at Camp Taylor, Ky. However, not until I came "over here" and saw its immense plant—its Foreign Uniform, Athletic, Publicity and Medical Departments, it warehouses and its great number of Christian workers, did I have a proper idea of the strength and the world wide importance of the Young Men's Christian Association. It is planned and works like a great corporation. If the people throughout the country could only see the great good that is being done for the men in France with the monde beaten, they contributed they would indeed, be amused and contributed they never saw it in this fashion. It is never nominal and the strongest organization of its kind in the world. It was organized nearly seventy-five years ago and did work 'n the Civil War. In every war since and in almost every country of the world it has ministered to the needs of those who have gone forth to fight for the 'n country.
Today its huts and tents are all over France, Italy, England and the Holy Land, and in them more than 150 of its workers, men and women are cheering the hearts of the soldiers. The religious phase of its work is carried out by deeds rather than words.
Heretofore I thought I had a pretty good idea of the greatness of this organization. However, almost immediately after arriving here I found that I knew very little concern in its work. Others, no doubt, have the same ideas I had. What I have said has been stated simply for the purpose of impressing upon those readers what the Y. M. C. A. of today is and what it means to our army "over here."
What I write must necessarily be written hurriedly. Therefore I make no apology for what is here set forth except to state that my effort has been to give facts rather than to please the ear.
AND DOLLARS MAKE YOU
Some day you may want to retire, or if not you will want that feeling of independence which ought to come with advancing age. A savings account in this bank will do that for you. You will be agreeably surprised to see how the cents pile up into dollars, and the dollars into a competence. Start with us NOW.
ONE CENT SAVINGS BANK,
Nashville, Tenn.
It was as workers of such an organization as described above that we took passage on a French ship on the eighth of March. There were ministers, teachers, doctors, lawyers and business men in the party, which in turn were members of the class tickets and the treatment and censure on board were excellent.
As our vessel slowly made its way out into the river, I took a parting look at the City's skyline and the Goddess of Liberty statue which stands in its harbor. As I gazed at it I was reminded that it was Lafayette, a young Frenchman, who first stirred his country to action in the war of the American hundred, and the activities resulted in France sending Joachimbeau and others with ships and men to America, there to fight in the great conflict, during the early part of which was born that impeachable document, the Declaration of Independence. I was then overwhelmed with the thought that, this being true, it was a great privilege to be allowed to lend a helping hand to France—to the country which carries the flag of France. Egalite, Fraternite," and which has so long fought to maintain these principles.
France gave us Lautache.
France we have given Pershing and hundreds of thousands of other men and ships and guns. And America I continue to send and give to the end that there shall be driven out of this beautiful land an army which has ravished her women, mutilated her children and destroyed her wonderful works of art. We must suppress this atrocious enemy, who believes in a "ruthless warfare" and considers a sacred treaty as only a "scrap of paper."
Finally darkness spread her blanket over this immense body of water, for we were now in the Atlantic ocean. The next morning I arose early to find that the land had completely disappeared. Then I fully realized that I was on the mission of my life for the greatest organization of its kind in the world.
At ten o'clock the Y. M. C. A. workers held a conference and at two o'clock in the afternoon we attend a French class. The organization has done and is doing all it can to assist not only its workers but also the soldiers to learn some French. In every but and tent "over here" the language is taught by a French teacher who speaks English.
During the day that great prairie of salt water worked itself into a fury and tossed our ship about as though it were a row boat. Most one on board, sucking your humble servant, became sick. As a result, things began to come up upon which we had not counted and food was, therefore, cast upon the waters for the denizens of the deep.
Sunday morning the Y. M. C. A. held a service in the salon which was well attended, and during the week several entertainments were given by it including one for the soldiers.
During the last three days of our voyage we passed through the submarine zone, skirting the coast of Spain. While we had many an anxious hours we did not see a single submarine; how many saw us I do not know. I do know, however, that we were very well satisfied for most of us were not looking for extraordinary thrills. It has been said that "everything comes to him who waits." Being of the danger zone, I think most of us had adopted as a good motto: "That which you do not see don't ask for." After traveling for eleven days we reached the river upon which is located the city where we landed, which is said to be about six hundred years old and one of the largest who making centers of France.
As we glided slowly through its water thousands of colored stevedores and many others persons of various nationalities and walks of life—even German prisoners, lined its banks and greeted us by waving their hats and handkerchiefs. The prisoners were, no doubt, glad to be there, for all I have seen are well treated, in the immediate vicinity where I am now writing there was about fifteen women who were about their ditties in a manner which indicates that they are content to remain prisoners until the day when victory shall have been won by the Allies and a lasting peace declared.
A few moments before we landed the band, amid cheers both on board and ashore, struck up "The Star Spangled Banner." This was the proudest moment of my life. Then it was that I was thrilled through and through. That thing we call patriotism took possession of me and my hair seemed to stand on end. Proud, indeed, was I to be an American and a Y. M. C. A. man, and proud was I of the fact that I had traveled as such more than thirty-five hundred miles across the great Atlantic and faced the dangers of the death-dealing submarine, all for the purpose of contributing my "bit" in the furtherance and protection of a great principle.
P. S.—In my next letter I will tell of the air raids and long range gun bombardments of Paris.
DR. F. H. COOK OF LITTLE ROCK
ARK, CALLED TO TEXAS
Dear Editor of the People's Defender:
Please allow space in your paper to let the readers know that the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church on Clark and Opaulosauai streets has called for their pastor, Dr. F. H. Cook, one of the best pupil orators in the country. He is indeed a power. Our church pulpit has been vacant for quite ten months, not because we have not been waited upon by various ministers, but because we wanted the very best or next. Dr. Cook was called to the pastorate without any solicitation on his part, but earnestly sought by our entire organization. We had heard him deliver the goods and we had been reading both local and national. On last fourth Sunday our church was crowded all day and at night there was no room in the end. The church has a seating capacity of about 800 and a large campus, both were well crowded. We are sure at least 3,000 people heard the eminent divine and are full of smiles over him. He seems to have been at himself and made the people cry out. Never a man spake like this man. The city and state ministers have all congratulated upon the action of this ablated divine. They have extended to him a warm welcome. A big installation is set for him in next month in which the whole city of churches have agreed to the whole time and make this a great time and the greatest oation we have ever witnessed. This church has a Front Line Sunday School, a first-class choir, a membership of 40.

PASTOR PRAISES PRESIDENT
FOR MOB-RULE STAND.
Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of
Shiloh Baptist Church, and a lead
er in activities for the benefit of
the colored residents of Washington
has written a letter to President
Wilson expressing the appreciation
of the colored people of the nation
for the President's letter to the
American people on the duty of
suppressing lynching, lawlessness,
and mob rule. The letter follows:
"I want to be among the first to thank you for your strong, many righteous words to the people—all of the people—of our country in condemnation of lynching, lawlessness, and mob violence everywhere and on the part of everybody in America. This is one of the greatest utterances you have ever made and one of the finest things you have ever done for oppressed humanity. Your appeal to the American people to respect and obey the laws of God and man at all times and under all circumstances, and to be humane and just in dealing with offenders (or supposed offenders) against law and order will do wonders in setting our beloved country right in the sight of God and in the eyes of the civilized world. From now on those magic words, 'World Democracy, will become to many millions here and abroad words big with hope and commanding in inspiration on to service and sacrifice, and no longer the hollow mockery they have so often been during the last four years."
"Your letter comes as a direct answer to the prayers and longings of the weak and oppressed everywhere in our land, who have been praying daily for years that you might be led of God to throw the weight of your mighty power and influence against lawlessness, mob violence and lynchlaw in America while you were battling so heroically and wisely against oppression, autocracy, and savagery in other lands. And these millions of your praying and trusting fellow citizens cry out from the depths of their groaning but loyal and hopeful heart: "Thank God for President Wilson!" And will pray for you as their father and mothers did for President Lincoln in the dark hours of carnage and blood, that Our Father in Heaven keep you in the hollow of His hand, and give you wisdom to see the right and courage to do it at all times and under all circumstances.
"Wherever your appeal for law, justice and righteousness shall come the vicious, vile and lawless will tremble, for he will see that his days are numbered, and the oppressed and outraged will gather hope and courage and join hands with you in the battle for 'world democracy.'"
"I am yours, anonored sir, for freedom, justice and equal rights and opportunities for all men everywhere.
"J. MILTON WALDRON."

Answer to Prayers
HOTEL DALE, CAPE MAY, N. J.
The demand for accommodations at the Hotel Dale last season and the inability of the management to cope with the situation account of inadequate space proves conclusively that the people of our race are awakening to the full realization of the comforts, social pleasures, and environments to be had at a first class, properly conducted hotel.
The practical and experienced corps of attendants who administer to your wants in this hostelery are without parallel in point of service in every department. The patrons marvel at the ease with which the business is conducted without friction.
The success thus far attained at the Hotel Dale is due to the confidence established and the strict enforcement of its rules and regulations, the basic principles of which keeps the moral status of the Hotel above reproach.
Mr. Dale, for years, has thoroughly studied the hotel life among our race and is recognized as one of the foremost men in the business. He attributes the small patronage and subsequent failure of the majority of our hotels to prosper to not keeping a proper surveillance of their patrons and disregarding the laws of sanitation.
The congenial and wide awake manager is always on the alert to intercept any unscrupulous persons who may attempt to degrade the moral status of this hostelry.
It must be conceded by the patrons of the hotel Dale that Mr. Dale has given to the public a Hotel without a peer, with added improvements each year to meet the increasing demand for persons seeking recreation and pleasure.
Testimonials from representative citizens who have been guests at this hostely pay a high tribute of respect to this far sighted, energetic and industrious manager for his acumen in bringing about this much desired accomplishment—to secure reservation in a hotel that is conducted on a basis equal to the best managed hotels in the country, giving a maximum of service at a minimum rate, expense being considered a secondary matter compared to the comforts of its guests. A sojourn to Cape May will convince the most scoptical person that in registering at the Hotel Dale they were the most useful, whey equipped hotel in operation where there is to be found accommodations and appointments unequalled. Requirements for reservations or information will receive prompt attention by addressing Hotel Dale, Cape May, N. J.
Arrivals at the Hotel Dale during the past week: Greenville, Miss, Dr. J. C. Overton; Richmond, Va., Mr. W. M. Spratley; Washington, D. C., Mr. Haley G. Douglass; Kingston, Jamalca, Mr. W.

A teaspoonful means nothing You say. Yet a happing teaspoonful saved each meal for 120 days for each of the 100,000,000 persons in the United States makes a pile as big as the Woolworth building enough to supply the entire armed forces of the nation.

While the whole attention of the public is concentrated on the welfare of the soldiers as it should be there are some kind people who are remembering to cheer on the lonely "War brides" whose weary duty of watching and waiting is often as hard as that of the soldier in the trenches who is waiting for the command, "Over the Top."

MEHARRY NEWS.
The colored men and the war--The following excerpt is taken from the Scientific American of August 3rd, 1918:
"Very gratifying to the nation at large is the whole-hearted away in which the colored people have responded to the call of the war. The draft has been accepted with enthusiasm, and every officer from the south tell us that the colored soldiers are proud of the uniform and the service. Also in the work of preparation going on behind the fighting line, the colored man is doing excellent service both in France and at home. We find him at the dock as stevedered, along the line of communication, as railroad builders and teamsters, and at home we have records which show that he can do when he extends him to the front. The 212 piles aggregating 14,260 foot nine hurries five minutes at the Hog Island ward, and the feat of one colored riveter and his crew who put in 875 rivets in 9 hours time. After the war when the question of extending the rights of the colored people comes up for discussion, their record during the war will be in evidence."
The following Meharry men are now in France: Drs. C. O. Hadley, J. M. Ponder, J. M. Whittico, L. Rodgents, J. A. Owen, J. L. Leach, Fred D. Harris, J. H. Williams and Crispus Henderson, in addition to those previously reported. Dr. Ira Watson on Lewisburg and Dr. W. J. Astrepp on So. Pittsburg, Tenn., were in the city on business this week.
A very important committee representing the interest of Walden University and the great M. E. Church was much in evidence in and around Walden last week. The members were representative men of the M. E. Church. One was an ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives of Ohio, one the minister one a jurist, and two exemplary business men. They seemed pleased with what they saw.
Mrs. Willie Taylor of Cleveland, Ohio, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Heber Walden of 1236 Fourth Avenue, South has returned to her home.

"Dare any of you having a matter against another go to law, and that before the unjust judge."
The above is a passage of Scripture written by the Apostle Paul to show that in the bonds of union in Christianity the love of Christ Jesus is sufficient for all time to come to discipline and manage the affairs of the Christian church. For the Christians are bound by the love of Christ Jesus. But it is a common thing nowadays to see Christians going to law with Christians and breaking over the spirit of Christianity in order to get into the flesh pots of Egypt and walk under the banner of Satan and be come his apostles rather than apostles of Jesus Christ. This matter grows more serious to me every day. And I am wishing what will be to teach them to prove the insufficiency of the love of Jesus Christ as is being carried on these days by ministers who profess the love of Jesus. These are men who do not even apologize for stepping over the word of God nor do they seem to pray over their sins, neither do they mean to prove to a lost world the efficiency of the Word of God.
Here it is stated emphatically—dare any of you to go to law; and that before the unjust judge. Is it a fact that there is not a just man among us that can be trusted to do the things that are right for God and the church? It is also a fact that while we are striving to get together as a great National Baptist Convention, there were others who were planning to overthrow the Board and tie it hand and foot. For the last fifteen days at least, dispositions have been taken at Nashville, Tenn., against the National Baptist Publishing Board on the old lawsuit. Yes, the same old lawsuit that has caused disruption and confusion is yet going on and the people are asked to give money to carry it on so that a few men can bury their hand—armpit deep—into the treasury of the Baptists so as to get at the treasury, and the lords over God's heritage. In this division on that has been created among colored Baptists, I do not believe there is a single fundamental principle or doctrine that has not been broken and walked over just as if it was not written in the Word of God. And yet, these same men who have created all this stir are asking the people to them as regular Baptists. They know they are free from nature in this respect have been abrogated and they are further from the doctrine of the Baptist Church than they ever were in their lives. But Jesus said—If they brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his faults between you and him alone. If he repents, then hast gained thy brother; if he does not repent take one or two more so that in the mouth of two or more witnesses every word may be established. Then if he does not bear these witnesses, go and tell it to the church. In these words it is seen that the Church is refered to as the highest authority for the disciples of Jesus Christ.
In the matter of the National Baptist Convention lawsuit, I take it that the churches have not been invited into the high counsels of those prosse cutting this suit for many of the leaders do not know where their church membership is and I suspect numbers of them do not know when or where they were baptized. But by their action they are keeping the church in

division to satisfy their selfish whims, determined to do somebody before they are outdone. I think many of us are a long way from the teaching of Jesus Christ and the doctrine which he espoused. And yet we call ourselfs Missionary Baptist of the highest type. I do not believe a man is a real Baptist although immersed a thousand times unless he carries out the principles of Jesus Christ as laid down in is word. Here in God's book is said: "Dare any of you to go to law." You have only to ask has it been done or is it being done today. You have only to go to the records of the Court in Davidson County, Tenn., and you will find ministers $\mathcal{J}$ the gospel, leaders of the church and denomination testifying in court one against the other. This too, to my way of thinking, will oust the church of its high authority given it by the King of Kings. Now then, we have just agreed to withdraw the lawsuit against the New Boards and at the same time an under current was going on prosecuting the same. I cannot see for the life of me how we can bring these two together with such differences of understanding. We are withdrawing on one hand by agreement and prosecuting on the other hand, even before we get home. And when this "dare" that I find in the Bible confronts these men who by their conduct are taking the very vitality out of it, I wonder what they will do and save when they meet Him who has given this order?
REV. J. P. ROBINSON, D. D.,
SWEET THINGS GOING UP.
Sugar, sweet sugar, on account of the war, under government control, is going up, in fact, it seems to be becoming so scarce until money can hardly buy it. The rich and the poor alike are suffering for a sufficient allowance of the sweet. But not only sugar, but there seems to a dearth of most sweet things. Sweet words, sweet temper, sweet disposition, sweet fellowship, sweet peace, sweet religion, have all soured so skyward until scarcely anybody has but a very meager supply nowadays, and indeed, a large majority of people are clear out. Even many highly reputed Christians seem to have nothing sweet on hand at all. We were just thinking whether possibly some sweet magnet did not have a monoply on all sweets. Just thinking if possible some "rich" old brother had not cornered all the peace and fellowship. Something like (you know) a rich old magnate corners the steel, the糖, the flour, the meat, the sugar and thereby keeps it from the people. Let us pray for the return of the good old days when there was an abundance of sweet peace and fellowship in our churches and denomination. Oh, how sweetness in the home, in the church, in the community have gone up!

THE DAILY PRESS ON PRESIDENT
WILSON'S ANTI-LYNCHING MOB
SPEECH.
While a number of our Southern great daily journals have been rather tame and sometimes offensively silent upon the President's anti-lynching and mob manifesto, a large number of them have jumped into the national chief's band wagon and are rendering loud and wholesome public anti-lynching and mob violence music. Among them is our own daily Gazette. The President having sounded the keynote, in our opinion every public speaker as well as every newspaper, both secular and religious, should join in the chorus and make the universe tremble with the sound of the notes of peace and goodwill toward all men. The present offers the best season for many generations to mold sentiment against prejudice, which is the hellish incubator that generates and hatches out the most of the diabolical crimes accomplished in our great community. The moral world has long suffered for a great leader; courageous and diplomatic, with a personality and intelligence to command the respect and claim the attention of our national community—a leader that would speak out in certain language and tone—much of such a leader is found in President Wilson. Long may he live to bless the world with such utterances and to get in motion such a trend of healthful sentiment.

A Russelite has just been pushed off to the Federal Penitentiary because he steadfastly refused to don the government military uniform and do military duty. In these times when the honor of the nation, the protection of our civil liberties, the preservation of our wives and children and earthly belongings, are at stake, no man should make himself a slacker by hiding behind his religious opinions. A religious cult that does embody manhood and honor is worthy of Jesus Christ. Russelite like some phases of socialism, is dangerous to society and should re the stamp of disapproval of all cratic, self-respecting loyal citizen if it is against the conscience of good brother to fight for his try's flag, perhaps he will enjoy folds from the prison walls.

Sunday schools who were mistinformed during the recent Baptist resturbances, have begun to see that they were mised and deceived, and from the many letters that come in, it would appear that they are gradually coming back to the Parent House. Dr. Boyd received only recently the following letter which is but a fair sample of others:—
Clarksville, Tennessee.
Rev. R. H. Boyd,
Dear Sr:
During the recent Baptist disturbance which occurred in Chicago, when the Conventions divided, we had a pastor who took sides with the incorporated convention, hence, he influenced us to order our literature from another House, but since he is no longer pastor, and since we are under the pastorate of a man who feels that he ought to support Negro enterprises, this flock as a Church, feel that we ought to stay on the right side and we feel that you and your Board are right. We are asking you to send us order blanks, and pledging our support for the future. Send the mail to R. L. JENKINS, Superintendent. J. H. DICKERSON, Pastor.

18 THE YOUNG NEGRO AN IM-

By Miss Georgia M. Lawson.
The difficulty of considering this

other races, and as no race is unt-
versally morally good, so such cannot
be expected of the Negro.
‘The Negro possesses an upper class,
a middle class and a lower class, and
in consideration of these classes we
shall look for an answer to the ques-
tion,
First; the upper class consists ot:
those who have made extraordinary
ally and materially, who have out-
stripped their fellows in the race of
fe and attained a standard of civil
ization commensurate with their op.
portunities, and proved to the ctvil-
{wed world that under favorable olr-
cumstances the Negro 1s as capable

as any other race. This class 5 aX

ers, for their opportunities have been
such as to render them more capable
of a higher conception of morality
and of their duties to thelr fellow:
men; and in proportion asa man is
enlightened on morality does he im
prove in morality, ohtre things being
equal, and reaches a higher type. of

moral and religious lines must furnish
some of the rules by which ie stan-

~ Second, the middle class of Negroes

Instance to distinguish between the
morally right and the morally wrong

And the young Negroes of this class
are an improvement morally on thei
fathers.

AN INSTRUCTIVE ADDRESS BY
REV. J. L. HARDING
(Continued from page 1.)
Tennessee had raised for the purchase of Roger Williams University in a way that no court of equity could recognize the Negro's interest in free simple in that institution. Then to add insult to injury, the same brethren transferred their non-entity to their chartered convention, in order to fool their followers, whom they knew would never go to Nashville and read that fictitious transfer.
The same spirit and kindred tactics have been followed in Arkansas. A few Baptists in Tennessee are giving support and encouragement to an unrighteous propaganda that will disable their children, so that they cannot render the best service to God and humanity when their selfish leaders have been called to their final account.
The above recapitulation is given as a reason for the presentation of the following:
THE ORGANIC STATUS OF THE COLORED BAPTISTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
When the angels announced the birth of the Savior of the world, the keynote of their song that attracted the attention of man and awakened an expectation in him, which gave birth to a hope of better things to come, was "On earth peace, good will towards men." Hence, all lovers and followers of the Lovely Nazarene seek and cherish peace in all activities during their natural life, and the desire to leave to their posterity and coming; generations a peaceful legacy in the proper adjustment and standardization of the things with which they have had to do; but no peace which an enlightened conscience cannot approve, is worthy of bequeath. The word of God is the light by which the

The two conventions are led by two distinct schools of thought which are incompatible, and strong and persistent contentions are inevitable where such elements are confined in one space, hence the necessity of separate or double space is apparent. Where such a condition has engendered strife and cause slenderous speeches and publications pro and con, the angel of peace must kiss the checks of the occupants of the camps before the hall of "Harmony" is reached, or there can be no program carried out in the palace of "Unity."
the status of the two conventions respectively, is not a mean one, and we believe they are permanently established. The unincorporated National Baptist Convention represents those who believe in the doctrine, polity and the democratic form of government of the missionary Baptist churches as were taught by Jesus Christ, practiced by the apostles and transmitted to us by the fathers; and who believe further that the same form of government should be carried out and adhered to by all bodies bearing the name of the church, from a committee appointed in a local church without instructions, to an incorporated Board representing any special phase of denominational work or interest. This convention holds that there can be no delegation of power of abrogation or change in the doctrine of hierarchy, (from democratic to hierarchical) without effecting the doctrine of our church. Therefore, we insist that Missionary Baptists wherever they assemble in an organic body, whether they represent one hundred or two million and five hundred thousand persons, the expressed will of the majority of is the law of that body; and if said body purports to represent and foster every phase of denominational work and

will not attempt to lucidate their belief and aims, but will simply state the facts. With this convention there are three incorporated Board: i. e. the B. Y. P. U. the Women's Training School Board and the Foreign Mission Board, and we presume that peace, love and harmony reign in their midst; due to the fact that such an aggregation of intelligence could not, unless they were in harmony, raise more money with which to carry on their work than was accomplished by the united forces before the war, and unless they were agreed as to doctrine, form of government and plans of operation. The same thing being true with the unincorporated convention, they are raising more money for all departments of our work than we did when there was but one National Convention (in name).
We attribute the failure of the old convention financially, and in many other respects, to the fact that there was an unyielding and uncompromising difference in opinion as to the principle and form of government held by the majority (herein styled as the rank and file) to that held and practiced by the minority (styled herein as the officials and self-appointed leaders). Therefore, as a paralytic, the convention was carried from place to place and for the last eighteen years they were never able to put into successful operation but a constructive resolution, and that the cooperative plan of the Southern Baptist Convention (white) relative to our Home Mission work; and we can not overlook the fact that the longest speeches and strongest opposition against that resolution and agreement came from those who are leaders in the incorporated convention.
We have simly observed the minimum cost to the denomination and race for the maintainance of the one convention during the last twelve or fifteen years, therefore, the question of harmony in its primary sense is

broken into pieces by those huge boulders of facts. We believe that the only combination worthy of the name "UNITY" is that kind which increases strength and efficiency. Already it has been demonstrated that each convention in itself in proportion to the membership is stronger than the old one, and bids fair to become more and more efficient. Missionary Baptists do not need to belong to the same local church in order to have Christian fellowship; all the churches in a city do not have one man to serve them as their pastor, and all meet at the same time and place in one general business meeting before they can have harmony, peace and co-operation.
We have failed to discover any fundamental reason why the two conventions should not remain in tact as they are, and extend to each other the proper Christian greetings, since they represent two distinct schools of thought with different ideals, rad-
