MEXICAN INMIGRATION LAWS LIFTED. Under no circumstances will Mexi can laborers entering this country or harvesting be forced to perform military service. Provost Marshal General Crowder, of the War Department t, states as follows: "Mexican citizens of military age who have not been residents of the United States and who temporarily come into tl's country after July 2 are not required to register and are consequently not liable to military service. A Mexican citizen or military age who had previously resid d in the United States but who had not registered and who returns to the United States is required to register, but the selective-service law and regulations provide for his complete exemption from performing military duty unless he waives his right thereto." Under a ruling of June 20 Mexicans can be brought into the United States for agricultural purposes for the period of the war. The head tax is suspended as well as the ill tlery test. Application for the importation of Mexican labor should be made to the United States Employmant Bureau or the Immigration Bureau. The Southwestern States will be materially benefited by any suspensions of the immigration laws, as the labor situation is very grave. These States always have looked with favor toward the Mexican laborer. --- ANNUAL CALL TO RACE By the N. E. R. L to Meet in Chicago Sept. 17-19. TO PUSH RACE'S CLAIMS For Justice and Equal Rights --Opportunity Unparalleled To Colored Americans: The year 1918 is a time unusual and unprecedented in the history of Americans of African decent. Not only are they taking part for their country in an European war for democracy, but within two months two National Colored gatherings of entirely different make-up have laid before the government of the United States the proscriptions of our race. The Conference of Colored Editors and others was called together by the War Department, to which it made complaint. The National Colored Liberty Congress was called by a national race committee to hold a people's convention. From both meetings good is resulting. Expressed in plain uncompromising English, our just grievances were brought squarely before the House of Representatives, and before the American people, by said Liberty Congress and were made a promissory note to the Congressional Record (June 29, 1918). It seems providentially fortunate therefore, that this note-worthy achievement on the part of the Liberty Congress is to be so soon followed by the Eleventh Annual Convention of the National Equal Rights League, to be held in September, in the City of Chicago. Last September, at the memorable tenth annual convention of our NAPIER, le, Tenn., ro Business League in session this week League in New York City, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, that invincible champion of equal rights, brought to us a cordial invitation to hold the League's 1918 Convention in the city of Chicago, which invitation we unanimously and heartily accepted. AT CHICAGO, SEPT. 17-19. Therefore, by the authority vested in me as President of the National Equal Rights League, I do hereby issue this call for the Eleventh Annual Convention of said League to convene on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, of September 17th, 18th, and 19th, in the city of Chicago, Ill. Fellow Comrades of the National Equal Rights League, and others, I cannot even begin to express how urgently important it is that our people in all sections of the country, should give prompt and earnest heed to this call. By means of the great world-war all nations and races are being tried, as it were by fire; their real worth and stamina are being severely tested, and none more so than that of Colored Americans; and we must not allow ourselves to be found wanting. A double burden rests upon our shoulders while this war lasts; we must continue to perform all the duties of citizenship, freely sacrificing our time, our money and our blood for our country; and at the same time, we must double, rather than diminish our exertions in our own behalf, unceasingly pressing to the front our own claims and demands for an equal share in the possession and enjoyment of all those rights for which we are fighting. Our very freedom and life, and that of our un --- born generations, depend upon our keeping up this double fight. THE DOUBLE DUTY. They are half cowards, who, while fighting for their country, will not, at the same time, demand an equal chance and a square deal. And they who seek and demand their rights while unwilling to shoulder their full share in the nation's and the world's struggle for freedom, will meet their deserved defeat. Every considerable race on earth is involved in this world-war, and the future will involve million Colored Americans, with that of other groups of peoples, is to be determined in its issue. Besides our standing grievances there are new and perplexing racial relations and conditions evolving out of this war that call loudly for our most earnest and immediate attention. These new war-created conditions are of such vital significance as should speedily bring together our entire race leadership. This war will result in permanent benefit to us only in proportion as we, as a race, through our own appointed leadership, and with organization nationwide, exert ourselves earnestly, promptly and wisely in our own behalf. Let every community join this Colored Liberty Organizing Drive. Let us as a race get ready to enforce our claim to World Democracy as an issue of this world war. Therefore let us get together for organization as a race to enforce our claims to world democracy. Every church, civic, education, fraternal, political and business organization among our people, without regard to sect, sex or party are invited to be represented in the Chicago convention by one, two or several delegates on race, on the organizing of our race, on self-defense. An especial appeal is made for the quick-motion of equal rights and democracy leagues or committees for the purpose of sending delegates to this national Convention for race organization for liberty. BISHOP PHILLIPS TO WED MISS CHEEKS OF CLEVELAND, O. Wedding occurs in St. Louis, Aug 28th. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 17—Advices from reliable sources indicate that Mrs. Laura Cheeks of Cleveland, O., has announced the engagement of her daughter Miss Ella to Bishop C. H.

For the last two years she has been teaching at Tuskegee Institute. She is an efficient and proverbial educator and possesses a most pleasing and charming personality. h he is modest and deeply religious and is therefore in a position to be a valuable asset to the Bishop and to possess of his ecclesiastical duties. Bishop Phillips is garded as the "ploner bishop" of the C. M. E. Church and stands out as of the most erudite and polished prelates of the church. nI accordance with the wishes of Bishop Phillips and family the ceremony will be performed here at his son's residence, thus striving the unanimity of feeling on the part of all his immediate relatives. iBishop Phillips has a wide coterie of friends here and well-known St. Louisans are brebaring many social courtesies for him and his bride.

PRESIDENT JONES VISITS NASH- VILLE Finishing touches were placed upon the recent extensive trip of Rev. Edward P. Jones, D. D., President of the National Baptist Convention, when he visited Nashville last week. He came direct from the Wood River Convention in Chicago, where he was the guest of that body of Baptists. Dr Jones stated when he arrived that he had been constantly on the road to Georgia, and his Mississippi home he went direct to Georgia and from Georgia to South Carolina, and from South Carolina up into North Carolina, and from thence into Virginia, going from Virginia to Ohio, then into Indiana, on through Illinois. Durris his stay in al' of these places, the Baptist leaders gave him a great reception.

The members and friends of the old historic church are rejoicing in the fact that the indebtedness will soon be a thing of the past. Tulane Baptist Church under the progressive leadership of Dr. E. W. White, is making great progress both financially and spiritually. Dr. White though having been with us but one year, has proven his worth. The attendance is larger and the various auxiliaries of the church are doing a greater work than ever before. The Church Bulletin is keeping the membership and friends informed and the electric fans are keeping the worshippers cool. Miss M. B. Cook, one of the senior nurses at the Flint Goodridge Hospital, returned from Mobile, Ala., where she has been spending her vacation. Dr. Pierce was in the city on professional business this week.

MAN'S BUILDING. without Regard to Color---Ex- ample And Unique. The Colored Women of the city as delighted with the arrangements that have been made for the mat the coming Tennessee State Fair, which will be held at the State Fair Grounds. A prominent location in the Women's Building has bee net apart for the Colored Women's Exhibit and a committee of earnest women are hard at work interesting the women in their samples of domestic art and domestic science to the exhibit. ed Women's Exhibit, Mrs. J. C. Napier has been promised that the exhibits sent in by the Colored woman. As General Chairman of the Colored will be judged according to the standard set in the regular catalogue and that prizes will be awarded with out regard as to color. nI her conference with the management of the Women's Building, Mrs. Napier contended that she wanted no special prizes for the exhibits sent in by the Colored Women. All she and the women wanted was fair open competition. She was assured that this condition would prevail. Quite a departure from the usual condition prevailing at the Fair was made when arrangements were made that the Colored Women's Exhibits should have a place all their own and in connection with this there would be a Child Welfare Department and a rest room. The mothers are urged to bring their able sand have urged weighed an dexamined. If they are tired and do not care to walk through the building, they may rest and watch the crowds as they go by.

The Publicity Committee is composed of the following Mrs. J. C. Napier, eGeneral Chairman, Mrs Laura Polk-Smith, Mrs. M. L. C. walch, Mrs. D. Wellington Berry and Mrs. Cora-Jordan White. RECORD MADE BY FOOD ADMINISTRATION CAFETERIA. Six thousand meals, using only 50 pounds of sugar for all purposes is the record established by the cafeteria in the Food Administration Building in Washington. This is the rate of 1 pound to 120 meals, and is in gloomy contrast with what the Food Administration is asking the American ho sevile to do to save sugar—to use two pounds per person or 1 pound for 45 meals. The Food Administration's cafeteria feeds an average of 600 persons per day for the noon meal, and the amount mentioned covers the cost of sugar for all purpose, including tea, coffee and cooking in Cooking Most the desserts contain such substitutes as honey, malt or other syrups, and the use of sugar is confined almost exclusively to tea and coffee for those who request it. The cafeteria management was convinced that it could make a record on sugar saving from the fact that it was so successful in wheat saving. No wheat in any form is served, not even in cooking. Bread is made of cornmeal, potato, rice, barley and corn flour. This has been found to work exceptionally well from the standpoint of palatability as well as of nutrition. Beef is served only once a week, and then in some form which presents the opportunity for stretching the quantity of poultry, poultry robes and souffles. Fish is served a two week as main dish, but is two weeks use in salads. The table and kitchen refuse amounts to only about 4 ounces per person per day, including fruit and vegetable peelings, plate scrapings, etc. Even this is not wasted. The peelings from potatoes (a barrel of potatoes are used daily) are disposed of for chicken feel. Apple peelings are used for making a juice which is the foundation for jellies. Other refuse is turned over to the garbage collectors and finds its way into the city's reduction plant, which is turning out large quantities of greases and tankage, from which munitions and fertilizers are made. The cafeteria is self-supporting, but not operated for a profit. It is maintained for Food Administration employees, who are able to get a variety of appetizing and substantial foods at moderate cost. The use of substitutes has enabled its management to sell its menus at low prices in the widespread belief that substitutes are more expensive. THE BIG "Y" DRIVE The question—"how is the "Y" drive coming on?" is being asked and is entitled to an answer. It was a young man who paid fifty cents, who was the first to propound this question since the Sunday afternoon meeting and the Sunday and Tuesday morning write-up relative to the Association's needs and possibilities to meet the needs. A member of Women's Council of Defense was the next to come in and inquire and offer suggestions as to the part the women (Continued on page 8.)

We Jones preached a great sermon. We night in the absence of the pastor. Rev. I. S. Davis. Rev. Collins is a good speaker. His sermon was greatly enjoyed by the many visitors and friends who attended the night services. The amount raised for the day was forty-seven dollars. Some did not get their money in so the rally is continued until Sunday. Come and help us. Mrs. John E. Thornton of 903 Horon street, has returned from St Louis, Mo, where she spent three weeks writing friends and relatives. She is very highly elated over the splendid reception tendered har. NATIONAL BANK RESOURCES. The total resources of the national banks of the country, as shown by reports to the Comptroller of the Currency under the call of June 29, were $17,339,592,000, an increase of $1,683,402 over the same date last year. Banks of the country have $1,249,775,000 over a year ago. COLLECTING UNITED STATES TAXES. In the execution of the policy of paying as large a proportion of the expenses of the war by taxation as possible the Treasury is making ever effort to collect all Federal taxes due to the United States. The department has evidence against many who have sought to evade taxes. Some of these tax evaders are American citizens residing or sojourning in Canada. A corps of specially trained revenue agents will be sent to the Canadian communities where many of these tax caders reside to obtain tax returns for them. LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST RATE Secretary McAdoo has definitely announced that the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds will bear $4\frac{1}{4}$ per cent interest. The Secretary has been insistent that the Government interest rate should be stabilized at $4\frac{1}{4}$ per cent He points out that a raise in the rate of interest of only one-fourth of 1 per cent on $10,000,000,000 of Government bonds would mean an annual increase of $25,000,000 in interest charges, and that this money would have to be raised by increased taxation and paid by the people of the country. It would not be paid by one class only, because there are consumption as well as other kinds of taxes, and the consumption taxes reach every class of people. "As an intelligent people," said Secrelary McAdoo during the Third Liberty Loan campaign, "we should now make a stand for the financing of our Government during the period of our war at a stabilized rate of interest, say at 4% pe rent per annum, so that all business and all investments may be adjusted to that basis, and so that our ourselves may protect our ourselves upon successively released rates of interest of Government loans." Neither our patriotism no rour support of the Liberty Loans are measured in fractions of per cent. ALLOTMENT AND ALLOWANCE CHECK. There has been a change in the system of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance of the Treasury in the matter of allotment and allowance checks. This results in some of the checks sent out by the bureau being for smaller sums than heretofore, but the amounts omitted from the checks sent out by the bureau will be included in checks sent out from other sources. The new system will simplify the work of the bureau and is expected to accelerate the payment of allotments and allowances. Prior to July last the War Risk Insurance Bureau took the compulsory allotment of $15 a month and whatever additional sum the enlisted man chose to account for together with the Government allowance for dependents was included in one check and sent out by the bureau. eighning with the July pay the bureau will collect and send out only the compulsory allotment of $15 a month and the Government family allowance. The excess allotments over the compulsory $15 allotment and the allotments to persons not entitled by law to allowances will not be handled by the bureau. Beginning with the July 1, 2014, allotment, the Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, according to the branch of service to which the enlisted man belongs. WAR FINANCE CORPORATION A short time ago the Betthelem Steel Corporation, with the approval of the War Finance Corporation of the Treasury Department, floated a $50,000,000 note issue. As the Betthelem company is engaged in an industry directly contributing to the prosecution of the war, the War Finance Corporation not only approved the note issue, but executed a contract for the purchase at par of $20,000,000 of the notes, under an agreement providing for a resale in the event that the entire issue of $50,000,000 was placed with the public. Subsequently the War Finance Corporation resold its $20,000,000 of notes at above par and therefore at a profit. GERMAN VIEY OF CHRISTIANITY Frederick Wilhelm Nietche was one of the most noted of modern German philosophers. How much has his philosophy affected the views and character of the Germans of to-day? Is not the answer written in the blood of the women and children, the old men of occupied France and Belgium? are not the Lustiana victims witnesses to German adoption of Nietzsche's faith? Here is his indictment of Christianity: NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY AUGUST 23, 1918. Opples, teach- n." TPIST aptist busi- n. at, p. m. ended presi- please "With this I conclude, and pro- nounce my sentence: I condemn Christian- tity. To me it is the greatest of all imaginable corruptions. The church is the great parasite; with its anemic idea of holiness it drains life of all its strength, its love, and its hope. The other world is the motive for the decal of every life. I call Christian- tity, who is the great curse, the one great intrinsic deprivacy, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret underhand, to gain its ends. I call it the one immortal shame and blemish upon the human race." Nashville Dir- MISSION CH M. Nebo Bap school 9:30. Re- interdent. P. 8 p. m. Comm- day afternoon. SECRETARY McADOO ON WAR TAXES. The Ways and Means Committee of the lower House of Congress is now considering revenue legislation. Secretary McAdoo favors a flat war profits tax of 80 per cent. In a telegram to Chairman Kitchin he says: "It is my strong conviction that the taxation of genuine war profits is the only way to reach real war profeering, and that it is at the same time a thoroughly justifiable measure upon economic grounds as well as a certain and indispensable producer of a large part of the required revenue." The patriotic producer, America should be aware if one-fifth of their war profits are secured to them, especially when we reflect that the men who are fighting and dying in France to save the liberties of those who stay at home and who make it possible for them to continue in business are limited by act of Congress to $396 per year for their services and have to give their blood in the bargain. TRANSPORTING OUR TROOPS. The world has been astonished at the great number of American soldiers transported to Europe in the last half year. The number now approximates 1,500,000, and the loss of life in transporting them has been almost infinitesimal. The success with which we have moved our troops from the scattered camps in this country and across 3,000 miles of ocean to the battle front is great evidence of America efficiency. We have not only surprised our enemies; we have surprised our friends and ourselves. The British controller of shipping, Sir Joseph Maclay, speaks of this movement across the sea as "A transport miracle." We have been inclined to attribute this achievement solely to our soldiers and our shipping, the British controller speaks in high praise of the share the American rail roads had in the work. He says: roads ha din the work. He says: "If the American railroads had not been operated with success the whole transport movement might have failed, because it was essential to quick transport that the troops should be ready for the ships." Director General McAdoo seems jiffed in his statement that while the development of the policy of the Rail road Administration requires time progress has been made forward the goal. VIRGINIA AND HER HUMAN RE SOURCES. The South's first experiments in industrial teaching in Negro rural schools were made in Virginia, and so were profitable from both a human and an economic point of view that every Southern state has followed her example. But Virginia has led her way in industrial education of the class of human assets, and in the sage vage of such part of it as has formerly gone to waste. SUCCESSFUL FARMING. In the 17 Virginia counties which have colored farms agents over 4440 Negro farmers last year raised all home supplies of food. 969 started new bank accounts, and over 1,200 old accounts were increased by new deposits. Colored boys in these counties raised nearly 6,000 bushels of corn and over 1,100 bushels of peanuts. A SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT FUND The State has appropriated a fund of several hundred thousand dollars for better country schools for Negroes. Where the Negroes themselves raise a certain sum the state duplicates the amount from this fund. In this way in Carolina county alone, eight graded schools for country Negroes were built last year at an average cost of $1,500.00. Local white people believe in the policy, and invariably give substantial help. CHECKING HUMAN WASTE. Man-power has a new significance these days. Virginia wants none of hers wasted. Some years ago she took up the work of a colored lawyer who was, at his own expense, taking delinquent Negro boys assigned him by the judges, and placing them out under his own supervision, in Christian colored homes. He refused the salary the state offered him; but state pays all other expenses of work, which is turning criminals into men who are 'an asset to the Secretary of the state Board of Charities and Correction reports that of the first 150 boys so cared for 143 have made good. The cost of salvage has been amazingly small. SAVING THE WASTED GIRLS The colored women's clubs of the raised $5,000.00 in cash, and bought check the waste of colored girls. They state next bestirred themselves to a farm in Hanover county, not far from Richmond, on which the state put up first-class modern buildings, for dormitories an industrial training. The board of managers is composed of men and women of both races, including two white club women of wealth and social prominence. The state pays two-thirds of the running expenses, the colored women one-third. So successful is the institution that theFosdick Commission offered it $20,000.00 to help care for "the girls who are a menace to war camp communities" provided the state would give a like amount. This the recent legislature did. It also passed resolutions declaring that in this institution "most valuable and important services have been rendered by the colored women of the State of Virginia—service of reform and conservation—and that this resolution expresses our appreciation o f this work looking to the beterment of the morals of the State of Virginia."

MONDAY ALL MEANS WHEATLESS USE NO BREAD CRACKERS, PAYMENT OR BREADY NOODLES CONTAINING WHEAT --- U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION 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, Cormel 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. 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 leaves 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 Americans can go out-bread based on the belief that certain that a great many people in this country can easily do so. It is the belief of the Food Administration that, for 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. U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION 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 do their part to meet it. We suggest that you comment upon the necessity for the saving of 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 wheat, asked them to do equally as well in saving sugar. TO ALL FOOD ADMINISTRATION WORKERS: "We can not administer the food problem on the basis one year's war. We must prepare for its long continuance if we are to insure absolute victory," declared the Food Controllers of the United States, France, Italy and Great Britain in a joint resolution adopted at a conference in London. The resolution, which was cabled today to the United States Food Administration, emphasizes the necessity of building up reserves in North America as an insurance against possible crop failures here and elsewhere and the diminution of agricultural labor. The cable follows: "Resolved, that while the increased production of the United States COAL CONSUMERS MUST BUY WINTER SUPPLY NOW Consumers must buy their Winter supply of Coal during the Spring and Summer for storage if Production is to be maintained, at a maximum and the country enabled to avoid a serious Coal shortage this Winter. U.S. FUEL ADMINISTRATION RAISE A PIG! THIS MOTHER IS RAISING FOUR. Funders it possible to relax some of the restrictions which have borne with peculiar hardship upon all our peoples; yet it is absolutely necessary that rigid economy and elimination of waste in the consumption and handling of all foodstuffs, as well as increased production, should be maintained throughout the European Allied countries and in North America. It is only by such economy and elimination of waste that the transportation of the necessary men and supplies from North America to the European front can be accomplished and the stocks of foodstuffs can be but up in North America as an insurance against the danger of harvest failure and the possible necessity for large and emergency drafts to Europe. We cannot administer the food problem on the basis of one year's war. We must prepare for its long continuance if we are to insure absolute victory." Before the war, only about 10 per cent of the food deficit in the Allied countries was provided by America. Approximately 50 per cent of the Allied deficit was filled last year by the United States and Canada. And from the 1918 crops we will very probably be called upon to supply a much larger proportion of this ever-increasing European deficit. About 1,500,000 tons of shipping could be saved if we made it possible to import more food from Europe food from Australia, India and South America. Were this done, it would be possible to transport and maintain in France a much larger if American soldiers, Many of the difficulties of convoy could be overcome if the bulk of shipping plied the single lane between Europe and North America. Interpreted in terms of men on the fighting front, every ship diverted from Australia could perform an equivalent service from American ports and in the time it had taken for one round trip from Europe to Australia could make two additional trips from Europe to the United States. In other words, it could furnish Europe with the same amount of food and in the same length of time could make one trip as a troop ship and another to transport food. With men leaving our farms in ever increasing number to engage in direct war work, we probably see this year the height of our agricultural production. To protect ourselves and the Allies against the inevitable shortage of the future we must take advantage of this year's production to lay by reserves. Although public eating places and households which voluntarily went to a no-wheat basis earlier in the year have been released from their promise to forego entirely the use of wh-a-; they must still practice economy. Release from their pledge only places them on the same basis as the rest of the American people. Probably as long as the war lasts they must use Victory bread. They must face as rigid economy in other directions. Especially is this sugar at present in the case of sugar. The American people as a whole are expected to adopt on August 1, an honor ration of two pounds of sugar per person per month. ```markdown ``` SUGAR SUPPLY. 1. Where does America get her sugar? Cuba—More than one half. Sugar beet production in the United States—one-seventh. Hawaii—one-eighth. Louisiana—one-twentieth. Porto Rico, the Philippines, Miscellaneous sources—the remainder. 2. Where did the Allies formerly get sugar? France, Italy, and the Low Countries raised their own. England received more than one-half from the Teutonic Empires, imported largely from Java, and got a little from the British West Indies. 3. Where do the Allies now get their sugar? The Central Powers as a source are cut off. Production in Italy and France is only about one-third what it was before the war. They must be spend very largely now upon America sources of supply. 4. Are there no supplies of sugar in the East Indies? There are quantities of sugar in Java and some in other islands; but ship can not be spared for trips to Java while sugar can be obtained elsewhere by one-third the haul. 5. Why is there need to conserve sugar now in this country? To meet the Allied shortage. To release ships formerly used in the sugar trade to carry soldiers and supplies to Europe. To make up the loss of beet sugar lands and factories captured or destroyed by the Germans in northern France and Italy. Ships which would have kept up the flow of sugar have been sunk. Twenty-six thousand tons of sugar were lost recently in submarine raids upon our Atlantic coast. Fifty thousand tons of sugar-carrying shipping were transferred to meet the requirements of Belgian relief. 6. Is there danger of a sugar famine? No; but there is a shortage as compared with the prewar days when Americans used more than 30 pounds per capita per year. If our people will follow the directions of the Food Administration—liberal compared with the rules of England, France and Italy—there will be sufficient sugar for our needs. 7. How much sugar can each person have? NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY AUGUST 23, 1918 And You are only asked to save and not waste Food BONES 5lb 1/2 JUST BONES! 5lb FOR, A SHILLING! A MARKET AGENT IN ENGLAND U, S. FOOD: ADMINISTRATION Not more than 2 pounds per month per person for household use and a limited supply for the necessary preservation of fruit and other foods. The Army and Navy must receive their ration. 8. How is the Food Administration handling distribution of sugar? Use of sugar in manufacturing anything but foodstuffs an dexpositives has been forbidden; manufacturers of soft drinks, candy, and other less essentials have been rigidly restricted; the supply of sugar to ice cream makers and bakers has been curtailed. For ordinary household use not more than 2 pounds can be bought at one time for town and city residents, and not more than 5 pounds at one time for country people except at the discretion of the Federal Food Administrator for the State or his deputies. 9. What restrictions have been placed on public eating houses in regard to sugar? For every 90 meals served not more than 2 pounds of sugar may be purchased. 10. Are there other rules? Federal Food Administrators in the various States may make rulings to suit local conditions in regard to sugar for home canning. 11. Are civilians to consider themselves on a definite sugar ration? Yes. They are in honor bound to use not more than 2 pounds per person per month. They are directed to use sugar substitutes as much as they can. Substitutes include corn sugar, honey, maple sugar, maple stirp, sorghum, fruit, fruit juices, etc. 12. What is the sugar ration at present in England, France and Italy? England—2 pounds per person per month. France—1 1:2 pounds per person per month, including all foods and drinks containing sugar. Italy—1 pound per person per month. These rations are not guaranteed. They represent the maximum under present rationing systems, if the sugar can be obtained. 13. Does the 2 pound ration for house holds include sugar for cooking? No; not as a general policy. A limited amount of sugar is allowed for preserving fruits at home. However, it is urged that everyone eat less than 2 pounds if possible, so that throughout the country more may be available for canning. 14. How can sugar for home canning be secured? By applying to the Federal Food Administrator of your State, or his deputy in your vicinity. Usually certificates must be signed by persons who wish to secure sugar for canning. These certificates are to be returned to the Federal Food Administrator of the States by the dealers who sell the sugar. Thus a check is kept on canning regulations. CANNING 15. Why does the Food Administration at present encourage canning without sugar? Because perishable fruits would be lost if not canned. If fruit is sterilized and air excluded, sugar will not be needed as a preservative and enough sugar can be added when the fruit is eaten to make it palatable. 16. Can jams and jellies be made later when sugar is more plentiful? Yes; from the fruit pulp and juices that have been sterilized and canned or bottled without sugar. 17. How small an amount of sugar can be used in making jams, jellies, and preserves which depend upon sugar as well as sterilization for their keeping qualities? Allow no more than three-fourths of a pound of sweetening to each pound of fruit. One-half pound for sweet fruits is enough. 18. Can sugar substitutes be used in canning? Yes. Corn sirups and other table sirups not made from granulated sugar can be used with sugar. In some parts of the country suitable varieties of canned sirups and sorghums are available for preserving without adding any sugar. 19. How else may fruits be saved without the use of sugar? Some fruits may be dried; others may be stored in a cool cellar. Fruit pulp may be evaporated to a paste, thus concentrating the natural fruit sugar. SUGAR PRICES 20. How do sugar prices here compare with those in other countries? Net wholesale prices of refined sugar per pound in chief cities of Allied countries since sugar control was established in the United States by the Food Administration: Oct. 1, 1917. New York, $0.0818, Montreal, $0.0867, London, $0.0998, Paris, $0.1228, Rome, $0.263. May 1, 1918. New York, .073, Montreal, .0807, London, .1259, Paris, .1228, Rome, 263. 21. What is the average retail price of sugar in the United States. From 8 1-2 to 10 cents a pound, varying slightly in different localities. During the Civil War sugar sold at retail for 35 cents a pound, when there was no real shortage. Speculation then was rampant; now it has been checked by Food Administration regulation. 22. How have prices been regulated? By voluntary agreement with producers and refiners with regard to the price of the raw sugar and refiners' margins, and by establishing maximum margins for wholesalers and retailers. 23. Would our prices be higher if there were no control of sugar? The price would, in the face of the world shortage, have mounted rapidly, as it has in countries where no control exists. As the American people contain upward of 8,000,000 pounds annually, each cent per pound increase would cost the people more than $80,000,000 a year. 24. How can I know whether my grocer is charging excessive prices for sugar? Consult the list of "fair prices" published in the newspapers or write directly to the State Food Administrator or his representative in your vicinity. 25. What penalty is there for the small retail grocer who is found guilty of charging excessive prices? Wholesalers, all of whom operate under Federal licenses issued by the Food Administration, may cut off his supplies. HOARDING. 26. What is sugar hoarding? Having on hand more than is needed for a reasonable length of three. You should not Yail to return any unused balance of sugar purchased for canning purposes. 27. May a household have a month's supply of sugar on hand? This is not justifiable except in extreme cases where there are no stores available for purchase, and it should be done only upon advice of the Federal Food Administrator or his deputy. 28. What are some of the evil effects of hoarding? It throws the distribution system out of joint; it raises prices; it imposes a heavier burden upon those already doing their utmost; it results in waste where there are no proper facilities for storage; it discourages the honest. 29. What is the moral wrong of hoarding ? It is selfish, cowardly, unpatriotic. It is, in effects, taking unto one's self special privileges at a time when all Americans should be on the same footing, share and share alike. 30. Is there any punishment for hoarders? Yes. The Food Control Act provides fines of not more than $5,000 and imprisonment for hoarding by dealers, manufacturers or householders. GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION 31. Is sugar necessary in the diet? Neither cane nor beet sugar is necessary. In the average American diet all the bodily needs may ordinarily be supplied by using honey, rum, fresh preserved and dried fruits. 32. What are the general sugar saving rules? Use al sugar sparingly and where one good tuin V. S. Food Administration. Jist ez de buckwheat cake got flop over on his face.

Co'n meal, rye en barley flour fer us will hep u lot too. ever possible use substitutes. Be sparing of confections and sweet cakes. The American people last year spent enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two years. Supplement sugar with honey, maple sirup, and corn sirup. Cultivate a taste for fruit in its natural sweetness. Sugar is a fuel-food. Get fuel from potatoes and other starchy foods rather than from sugar. Sugar excels them as an energy-food only because it produces energy more quickly. They excel sugar, since they supply more than merely the fuel need. 33. If a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, what amount of substitute may be used? If a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, use in its place 1 cup of strained honey or 1 2-3 to 2 cups of corn sirup. If honey or sirup is used, the amount of liquid called for in the recipe must be reduced one-fourth cup for every cup of honey or sirup. 34. How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities known to everyone? Two pounds per month means about 8 ounces per week, or a little more than 1 ounce a day. This daily ration is a trifle more than 2 tablespoons. It should be remembered that this is not all sugar for any purpose whatsoever—for table use, cooking, in ice cream and desserts, on cereals or fruit, in sugar sirup uses on griddle cakes, etc. PROGRESS OF WAR DEPT. 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. Lleut. 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 Cavalry 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 not least enlistant. 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 meritorious service. 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 STEADYLE 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 has been 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 from the Treasury Department 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 during the period of the present war, and is acting 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 demand daily into the office and to properly care for the welfare of the hundreds of cases that constantly press for at- tention and touch every possible phase of the activities of the colored people of the nation. WAR FINANCE CORPORATION AIDS, FARMERS. In compliance with telegraphed 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, of the willingness of these financial institutions to 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 the banks should make 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. 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 effected 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 cartridges equivalent to seven thousand rifles and several thousand Russian rifles were manufactured. The Ordnance Department has produced 2,014,815,584 cartridges, 1,885,769 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. 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 of 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 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 $00,000,000. The belief is 'entertained that the result in America has been very similar to that in Europe and that the increase the purchase by the American people of some $10,000,000,000 of Liberty Bonds and $00,000,000 of War Savings Stamps, a very fair proportion of which were purchased by savings bank depositors, savings banks' deposits have increased.

They show a decrease in deposits for the last year of only $8,000,000, but an increase of 21,252 depositors. 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. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR The Women's Division of the U. S. Employment Service, under the supervision of Miss Helena McNellis, finds, after compiling its report for the week ending August 16, the following excellent figures: Number of calls for help, 16; number of workers wanted, 298; number of applications for work, 97; number sent to accept positions, 89; number actually placed, 88. This report covers bookkeepers, bill clerks, general office workers, stenographers, saleswomen, milliners, saleslades for department stores, halliers, bag makers, for cooks, cooks, kitchen help, maids, waitresses, artists, fiction writers and chemists. The work of the Service is growing by leaps and bounds, as employers and workers become heiter acquainted, with its nature. Miss McNellis is very anxious to see that every employer in the city, who needs the help of women, gets it, and when called on she makes every effort to send some one suitable. For this reason every woman in or near Nashville, white or colored, who wants something to do, should register with the Service at 175 8th avenue, N., and sooner or later a good position will be the result. It is impossible for any one to realize how many different occupations women can handle, and a review of the files of the Woman's Division is quite surprising, as it shows registrations for vocations, which women have not heretofore been considered capable of following, and proves, without a doubt, that they are prepared to do their bit by taking the places of men who have been sent to the front. Local employers, as well as those outside of Nashville, are taking advantage of the opportunities the Service offers, and find it saves much time, trouble and expense, to call the Woman's Division by 'phone and have some one sent who will 'fill the bill. LOANS TO OUR ALLIES. The United States Treasury has extended additional credits of $100,000,000 to France, -9,000,000 to Belgium and $3,000,000 to Serbia. We extend our support to our clients in the war against Germany is now $4,924,040,000. SEAMEN INSURANCE. Practically 80,000 officers and sailors on American owned and registered vessels trading in the waters where the German submarines operate have been insured by the Treasury Department. The aggregate of the policies total well over $100,000,000. This insurance is made compulsory. This law and since the submarines are classified as vessels to apply to all vessels trading to or from our Atlantic and Gulf ports. Small fishing vessels are excluded. # Published every Friday in the year at 447 Fourth Avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn., NASHVILLE GLOBE PUBLISHING COMPANY Telephone, Main 1898 Entered as second-class matter January 10, 1900 at the post-office at Nashville, Tennessee, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 23, '18 Frank Paschall is reported to be organizing a hog-head league. It is rumored that he has signed up quite a number of members. The Editor of the Globe is home again. The weather man has sure been onto his job. And don't forget to help Walden University. We need to buy Thrift Stamps, but we also need to help Walden University. T. Clay Moore is the handsome man of Cedar Street. He is a hustler and encourages all deserving enterprises. The barbers are working out a zone system of hair cut charges, under which the semi-hald men will pay half price, the three quarters hald man one-fourth price, and so on. But aren't the bald headed men to be required to pay anything for the sake of their dignified appearances. The House Ways and Means Committed has decided to impose an income tax on the salaries of the President and others. Mr. Wilson will have to contribute out of his $75,000 salary a respectable sum of $24,000. And the president unlike William will not recoup his losses by acquiring an interest in Krupp's. Our armies are doing a great work in a great way overseas, and it will be observed that they don't stop to pat themselves on the back. They keep going. Our people at home are doing well likewise. They are putting up the money and supplying the food in order to win victory. They must carry on. There will be plenty of time for felicitation after the right kind of peace comes. Only about a fourth of the fighting men we will have overseas are engaged in chasing the Hun northward, and from the job they are making of it, we are constrained to wonder what the Huns expect to do when several millions more of them get over there. Both thinking and doing are essentials to true effectiveness in life. The doer who fails to think will leave behind him a sad record. The thinker who does not act will have a career that is equally futile. With over 900,000,000 bushels of wheat and 1,000,000,000 bushels of corn in the barn, the American farmer can begin to figure out about what he can squander on the big loan in September.

Working class universities are planned as a part of a great educational program for British, and particularly Scottish, workers, according to information which has reached the United States Department of Labor. In 1916 a conference of trade-union delegates representing 262 organizations unanimously decided in favor of the establishment of a Scottish labor college and appointed a provisional committee to make preliminary arrangements, draft a constitution, and prepare a curriculum to be submitted to a labor conference. At a conference in March of this year the constitution and curriculum were adopted, and a committee was given authority to approach union organizations for financial support. Meanwhile the sponsors of the college, which aims to teach subjects from the point of view of the working class in particular, have been busy organizing workingmen's classes. Last winter 19 classes were formed, with an enrollment of 1,500 students, and 20 other classes were organized in co-operation with the Plebs League, numbering about 1,000 students. The largest class had a membership of 540. In addition to these there were study circles at mealtimes in many workshops Some of the classes were for particular trades, but most of them were open to all union workers. One of the proposed college will include economics, general and industrial history, trade union history and problems, history of the co-operation movement, political science, algebra, statistics, trade union law, English literature, composition and public speaking. The aim is to train young men and women for trade-union or political service. GERMAN LABOR SITUATION PERILOUS. Wastage of Man Power in War, and Great Strike of Belgium Workmen, Creating a Critical Condition. Germany will have a serious labor problem in the days to follow the war, according to information which has reached the United States Department of labor. The report indicate that the number of unions has declined from 771 to 450 since 19.3, and that the membership of the Berlin Cen ra Labor Union has fallen from 302,000 to 130,000 in the same time. Hamburg's 130,000 trade-union members in 1913 have been reduced A WARD TO THE WIDE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY AUGUST 23. 1918 to 47,000 now, and Dresden's member shb nt 96,000 has been cut, nt half. ship of 96,000 has been cut in half. The great wastage of German man power in the war not only means a future danger but has led to widespread troubles in Belgium which, according to Lieut. Henry De Man, Belgian Army who spoke before the Boston Central Laborer, caused the greatest labor strike in the world. More than 1,000,000 organized laborers of Belgium; he said, refused to do any work for the Germans. SECONDHAND CLOTHING BRINGS HIGH PRICES IN BELGIUM. Shoes Sell at $50 a Pair, According to Belgium Interned in Holland. It is becoming more and more difficult to obtain clothing in Belgium, according to the Belgian Bulletin, received by the Department of Labor, which says that persons who have been thrown out of work may secure on easy terms, once a year from the charity club, a dress or an overcoat. A Belgian, interned in Holland, obtained permission to wear civilian dress. His wife, who had remained in Carvers, joined him, and he wrote recently: "My wife has come with my personal effects. However, before she left, a number of persons came to her and offered her for my Sunday suit and overcoat 500 francs ($100); for a pair of velvet trousers, which cost 7 francs ($1.40) before the war. 40 francs ($8); for my shoes, 250 francs ($50); etc." ITALIAN JOURNALISTS STUDY AMERICAN LABOR PROBLEMS. Delegation of Leaders of Italian Press Press and War Industries, Here. American labor's part in the war will be given a most practical illustration to eight Italian newspaper men, who have come to this country to study labor problems and the appearance of the Nation at war. It will also provide information regarding Italian conditions of interest to the Department of Labor. They will visit four of the largest shipyards in the country, where they will discover at first hand the spirit and possibilities of American labor. They will visit the most scientifically advanced instruments in the United States, another monument to the efficiency of American labor. The delegation of newspaper men all of whom are trainel observers, and to whom labor problems during the war have a peculiar interest, will to Italy's own war-labor situation, will visit many of the most important cities of the country. They are accredited with being especially interested in the railroad system of America because of the great part Italianis in America have had in the labor of construction and maintenance of the roadbeds. It is interesting that in their 30-day tour of this country, visiting only some of the larger cities and over only per cent of the Nation railway companies, they will cover almost the exact mileage of Italy's entire system. In its personnel the delegation includes the London correspondents of some influential Italian papers and other leaders of the Italain press who have a great part in forming the nation's sentiment. SCHOOLS FOR MUNITION WORKERS. How England Solved the Skilled La bob Problem Presented by the War. One thing that the war has demonstrated with utter conclusiveness is that long apprenticeships for mechanical work can be dispensed with if the emergency is sufficiently urgent. The Department of Labor's training and dilution service recognizes this principle. The apprenticeship system had taken a much stronger hold in England than it has ever obtained here, and when large numbers of Englishmen were called into the military service it was necessary to revise very radically impressions that had existed up to that time. The United States department of Labor has been much interested in England's experiences along this line and has found them very helpful in solving American problems. The discovery of an untapped reservoir in women's work and the adoption of improved automatic and safety appliances in machines provided satisfactorily for the work which was not of a complicated nature. There were many jobs, however, developed by the war in which expatriates had to deal. The result was that intensive training was instituted by the great factories whereby men and women were instructed in the operation of complicated machinery and intrate process s. The way was shown by the initiative and generosity of a few individuals who appreciated the problem. The Government then established a training section for factory workers in the ministry of munitions and some 50 colleges and schools were brought into the system. The Government also such an engineer working as lead burning, toolsetting and gauge-making, and were accompanied by theoretical discussion in exact measurement calculation. WORKERS CHAINED TO JOBS. Drastic Measures Adopted Against Labor in Germany by Means of Military Control. Control of labor power in Germany is absolute, according to information just obtained from that country. The arrangement in force there contrasts strongly with the present plan of control, in America, through the United States Employment Service of the Department of Labor, and it is said that no country of the allies has it been necessary to adopt any measures even approaching the drastic steps that have been taken in Germany. Just how each workman is chained to his job may be realized when it is known that he can not change positions without the written consent either of his employer or of a board of seven membe's appointed by the military authorities. The boards of seven include an army officer as chairman, two Government officials, two employers and two workingmen. The workingmen, therefore, not only have small representation on the board, but are denied the opportunity of choosing their own representatives, for that is undertaken by the War Office.

The great part Australian labor has taken in the war was told to an audience of union men by former Premier Crawford Vaughan, of the Australian Government, at Seattle, recently. Mr. Vaughan expressed high appreciation of the work of the American Federation of Labor, under President Camper, and the Department of Labor. Eight per cent of the population of the Dominion has enlisted he said, and of the number of Australian troops, 150,000 were members of trades-unions. Of this 150,000 he continued, 45,000 have already given their lives. Labor, he declared, is strongly supporting the cause of the allies in Australia. He declared that the Dominion had adopted its political system, which is the Government of the United States, and urged American workingmen to do all in their power to protect democracy in the present crisis. GERMANS DEPORT BELGIAN WORKERS. Wholesale Movements of Compilee Labor Lab Hospitals Make Rapid Progress Returning Belgians, deported this year, bring new evidences of German cruelty, according to the "Bulgian Bulletin," received by the Department of Labor, which says: "It is known that at the beginning of the year 1918, in spite of all their promises to the neutrals, as well as to the Pope, the Germans again deported from Lokeren (eastern Flanders) to the western front to labor at military works 27,000 men of the middle and working classes. "It is announced at present that 200 of these unfortunate have been able to return to their native town. They are all in a lamentable state of health, for the most part have been injured, but on the other hand dysentery and typhus, underfeeding, cruel treatment and blows have made very many victims among the men deported from Lokeren, and nothing marks the spot where they have been buried." 1,442.00G WOMEN WORK IN BRITAIN. Nearly Three-fourths of This Number Are Engaged in Aiding Government's War Program. Thirty-six per cent of the employees of the Government of Great Britain, outside of the munion factories, in January, 1918, were women, according to an announcement by the Department of Labor. It is estimated that in all lines of work, 1,442,000 women have worked in the ranks of industry, and nearly three-quarters of this number work for the Government. THE ELIMINATION OF THE STRIKE BREAKER. Winnepeg Women Enter Strike in the Public Interest, Without Detriment Either to Workers or Employer. War conditions have brought an entirely new force into labor disputes—a force which does away with strike breakers, leaves employees and employers free to settle their differences without bringing pressure to bear on either, and at the same time keeps the wheels of industry moving in the public interest. The Department of Labor has received details of the plan. When 400 telephone operators of Winnepeg, Canada, went out at 7 o'clock one morning, in sympathy with the city's electrical workers, the Winnepeg Women's Volunteer Reserve realizes the importance telephone communication would hamper seriously the Government war program. Thereafter, these women immediately offered their services, not to the telephone company but to the Manitoba Government Telepho' Commission, to keep the system in operation until the regular operators came back. The next effect was neither inimical to the strikers o- to the telephone company, and it was decidedly beneficial to the Government and the general public. While these women, none of whom wanted steady jobs as switchboard operators, were filling the strikers' places, the work o' the exchange went on and strike breakers could not be introduced. The company had no opportunity to replace the strikers, who therefore were able to deal with the management quite as effectively as though the whole system had remained tied up. Within a week, through the efforts of a citizens' committee of 100 members, a settlement satisfactory to the electrical workers and the employing interests had been reached. T.e. strikers' jobs were protected while they were out of the Womens' League, and the company complied with them; the company interests were protected, without injury to its employees; and, most important of all, the Government and the public sustained only a minimum of inconvenience, for although the volunteers were inexperienced they learned quickly and many of them became good operators before the strike ENGLISH WOMEN EMPLOYED IN ALL PROCESSES OF SHELL MAKING. Have Even Mastered the Forging of Billets in Foundries. Women in England now undertake every process in the making of a shell, including even the forging of the billits in the foundry, according to L. K. Yates, who in his booklet on "The Woman's Part," says: "It was the urgent need of a greatly increased output of shells in 1915 which led to the widespread introduction into the engineering shops of female labor, and the women have repaid this unique opportunity by their unqualified success. So rapid and so manifold has this prog- erogation and production that by the spring of 1917 the official announcement was justified that by March 31 of that year Government contracts for shells of certain dimensions would be given only where 80 per cent of the employees were women. "At first women were mainly engaged in simple machine operations, such as boring, drilling and turning, or in filling shells. They are, at present, working hydraulic presses, guiding huge overhead cranes, 'tonging,' or lifting the molten bullets, 'setting,' or fitting the tools in the machines, inspecting and gauging, painting the finished shell cases, making the boxes for dispatch of the finished product, and trucking these when finally screwed up and removed to exit from the factory to the front." American women are already undertaking a great deal of this work according to reports to the Department of Labor. WOMEN WORKING IN BOX FACTORIES. Pay Is Better Than in Most Unskilled Work and Tasks Do Not Overtax Their Strength. Box factories have discovered, according to information which has reached the United States Department of Labor that women very well replace boys and young who can be more effectively employed elsewhere. The women already employed in a number of box factories have proved highly efficient and useful, and they can, in fact, do almost any kind of work that young men of high school age have been doing except some of the heavier tasks. Because they are not adapted to heavy work the young men have some advantages over them in respect to work. It is rare, too, that women are hired in jobs for their lack of mechanical experience renders them incapable of making minor repairs in case of trouble. Ordinarily women wear coveralls or overalls while at work in their factories. For the most part the oveals are preferred, since they allow greater freedom of movement and are in general more serviceable. There has been no unfavorable comment on the wearing of overalls. Women employed in box factories say that they have no complaints to make regarding the treatment they receive, either from their employers or from the men with whom they work. They are paid ordinarily from $2.50 to $3.50 a day, better wages than they can make in most employments that require no special skill or preparation. They say that they find the work rather hard at first, but if they are in good health they soon become accustomed to it and eventually find it of real physical benefit. WOMEN MUST NOT WORK IN MINES. Wisconsin Rules That They Must No Be Employed During Night Hours. Two important developments regarding work in which women may engage have just become known to the Department of Labor. A protest by organized, miners at the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company resulted in orders from the State mining department that girls must be employed as breakers in the mines, and accordingly all girls formerly employed there have been discharged. In Wisconsin, the industrial commission has ruled that women may not work on street cars as conductors or motormen at night, or for more than eight hours. The commission expressed the view that such work could be detrimental to the health of the women, and consequently to the detriment of future generations. 43 WORKSHOPS ESTABLISHED. American Red Cross Provides Employment for Hundreds of Italian Women. The Department of Civil Affairs American Red Cross in Italy, according to information which has reached the United States Department of La Boris is conducting activities in 96 towers and villages. It has 43 outrovers employing more than 2,600 women, who produced in April 60,808 carmets. Fourteen workshops of various kinds are maintained, and these employ several hundred men and women. A feature of the work is the provision for the care of children. The records show that 2,258 children are being looked after in 38 asil. Five asylums for children and a numa schools are supported. Special rations are provided to children. Milk is obtained for under nourished babies, and 750 tons of white flour for bread for children have been distributed. The Spirit of '18 The World Cry- food!

"Enhance goes to waste on Illinois farms to feed a city of 50,000 for a year," declares R. C. Stokes, the officer in charge of Farm Labor Agency No. 177, in that state, in a report to the Federal Department of Labor. He has made an appeal urging farmers' wives to enlist the aid of c.y.t women in canning and preserving food. He is endeavoring to formulate a plan whereby this co-operation of city and country women can be made workable. Mr. Stokes write to the United States Employment Service that cooperation among the farmers did away with the necessity for any elaborate measures to obtain farm help. Please submit in that section, for farmers willingly gave each other all the aid possible. More community help was given this year than ever before. "No pie or cake are to be seen on the thresherm's table, and the housewife is pleased," is a sidelight on farm life in Illinois during the war, as revealed by Mr. Stokes. WOMEN ELECTRIANS NEEDED. New Jobs Opened by War Include Positions in Door Women and Inspectors Among the jobs that have been opened to women by the war are positions as electricians. The Chicago employment office of the Department of Labor was among the first to seek women for this work. Girls and women with a knowledge of electrical work were called for in Chicago to undertake important work in the East. Floor women, inspectors, girls with a knowledge of electrical wiring, installers, and short all women who are familiar with electrical appliances were needed. KNITTER BECOMES SHELL MAKER. Chicago Girl Abandons Yarn to Take Job in Pullman Munitions Plant. Chicago's champion knitter has become a munitions worker. She is Helen Dillon, of Charles street, Chicago, now working in a factory at Pullman. The young woman's splendid success in knitting for the soldiers inspired her with a desire to undertake some more important work in the war program, and she is now enlisted in an important branch of shell manufacture. According to the reports received by the Department of Labor, she finds this work not only more patriotic but more remunerative. SONS AT WAR, SHE MAKES SHIPS. Mrs. Underwood Doing Everything Possible to Support Army in Which Her Boys Are Serving. Mrs. G. Underwood, of Vancouver, Wash. has two sons in the Army. Realizing the Nation's great need of ships to supply the soldiers in France, she determined to do everything in her power to make certain that her boys got all the guns, food and clothing they needed. Therefore, she entered a shipyard and is working there every week day as a calker. She is head of a group of five and directs them very efficiently. One day when her four assistants failed to put in an appearance, Mrs. Underwood operated the calking machinery alone and did so well that she almost proved her assistants to be non-essential. Rather than take another chance, they are appearing promptly every day to aid her in the work for the boys abroad. Her record is among the most remarkable of which word has come to the Department of Labor. WOMAN UNDERTAKES WAR SAFETY WORK.

OUR NEGRO SOLDIERS. They've named you all "black devils" A name that suits you well; For when you're on the battlefield The enemy thinks it's hell. Just give him a gun and bayonet, He'll show you what he can do; For when he strikes an enemy, It pierces through and through. He marches with steady footsteps To us he looks so grand; He's going to cross the ocean And make a strong, firm stand. Just see him how he marches Through gas and shot and shell; He's going to drive Bill Kaliser Straight through the gates of hell. He's guarding now the White House, We ask, why is it thus? He answers proudly with a smile, We ne'er betrayed a trust. He's fought in every battle, He's what he is worth; He's fighting now in foreign lands, To purify the earth. They're fighting now for mother, For wife and sister, too; For sweetheart and for brother, Yes, fighting now for you. He's brave, he's strong, he's chivalrous. He's good and he's true; And why should we not honor him, Who sheds his blood for you? He fought once for our freedom, For justice now he fights; When all is over and they return, Will we be given our rights? All he wants is half a chance, "Just half" and he will win; He'll carry Old Glory "over the top" And plant it in Berlin. By Mrs. R. W. Abernathy, 5133 Wabash Aye., Chicago, Ill.

Railroads, Washington, D, C., August 18, 1918. GENERAL ORDER NO. 40. Washington, D. C., Aug. 18,1918, ‘To all employees in tho railroad serv: fee of the United States: Complaints haye reached me trom thne to time that employees are not treating the public with as much con: sideration and courtesy under Gov ernment control of the railroads as under private control. I do not know how much courtesy was accorded the public under private control, and 1 have not basis, therefore, for accurate comparison, T hope, however, that the reports of discourtesy under Gov ernment administration of the rail roads are incorrect, or that they are ‘at loast confined to @ relatively tev cases, Whatever may be the merits of these complaints, they draw atten tion to a question which Is of the ut most importance in the management of the railroads For many years it was popularly believed that “the public be damned” policy was the policy of the railroads under private control. Such a policy is indefonsible either under private control or Government control. It would be particularly indefensible under public control when railroad employees are the direct servants of the public. “The public be damned” policy will in no’ circumstances. be tolerated on the railroads under Gov- ernment control. Every employee of the railroad should take pride in serving the public courteously and ficiently. Courtesy costs nothing and when it is dispensed, it makes friends of the public and adds to the solt-respect of the employee... My attention has been called to the fact that employees have sometimes offered as an excuse for their own shortcomings, or 1a8 a Justification for delayed trains or other dificulties the statement that “Unele Sam is run- ning the railroads now” or “These are MeAdoo's orders,” ete, Nothing could be more reprehensibie than state ments of this character, and nothing could be more hurtful to the success of the Railroad Administration or to the welfare of railroad employees themselves. No doubt, those who have made them have done so thoughtless: ly in most instances, but the harm is just as great if a thing of this sort is one thoughtlessly as it it is done de- ie | ‘There are many people who for: partisan or selfish purposes wish Goy- ernment operation of the railroads 10 be a failure. Every employee who 8 discourteous to the public or makes excises. or statements of tho kind I have described, is helping these partisan or selfish interests to dis- predit Government control of rail roads, Recently the wages of railroad em- ployees were largely increased, in: volving an addition to railroad opera- ng expenses of more than §475,000,00 per annum. In order to meet the in- neato, thepublie has been ealled upon | 0 pay largely increased passanger and freight. rates... The people have ac-| vepted this ne wburden cheerfully and patriotically, ‘The least that every em- ployee can do in return is to serve he public courteously, faithfully and sMiciently. , A great responsibility and duty rest upon the railroad employees of the United States. Upon thelr loyalty, fliency and patriotism depends in jarge part America’s success and the! yverthrow of the Kaiser and all that ne represents. Let us not fail to measure up to our duty, and to the just demand of the pubife that rail road sorvice shal! not only be efficient, put, that it shall always be courteous: y administered, W.

DAVIS LAID TO REST It is with regret that it was learned on Friday of the death of Prof. Arthur L. Davis, after a brief illness. Mr. Davis had made his home in Nashville for the past two years having returned here from Chicago—this being his old home city. Mr. Davis was a very quiet young man and numbered his friends in Nashville by the thousand. He was a member of Clark Memorial Church and was active in church work, giving his services at all times to the choir. He was a man of ability and was quite active on the violin. Every Sunday morning he could be found in his church choir. The funeral services were held in the chapel of W. H. McGavock, Undertaker, and was largely attended. Remarks were made by Rev. John W. Wells, pastor of Clark Memorial, Spencer Jackson, Mrs. A. L. Sanders, J. B. Boyd as well as Mr. Duncan. The floral designs were beautiful indeed which showed the high respect and esteem in which Mr. Davis was held by the people on Nashville. It was indeed quite a shock to the majority of the people as his death was very sudden. The pall bearers were Mr. W. N. Sanders, Secretary Y. M. C. A., Dr. J. T. Phillips, Dr. I. H. Martin and Mr. J. B. Boyd. Resolutions Arthur L. Davis, August 19, 1918. Arthur L. Davis, after a brief illness of a few days, departed on last Friday afternoon for "that land from whose bourne no traveler ever returns." He was quiet, modest and gallant and made friends with whom ever he met. He was kind, charitable and sympathetic and at all times showed a willingness to aid the sick and distressed. He was a recognized violinist and frequently rendered gratuitous selections for entertainments given for the poor and indigent. It was his pleasure to serve as violinist for the choir of Clark Memorial Church and he always performed to the delight of all. He was a devout Christian and talked with pride and joy of his activities at his church in Chicago and cheerfully helped the various churches here by giving his time and talent for worthy endeavors. But now he is gone, the touch of his hand has vanished and the sound of his violin is still and his little day is done. A "well done" has been pronounced upon his labors. He leaves a few relatives and a host of friends who mourn his loss. Whereas, It has pleased the Ruler of the Universe to remove from our mist our friend, brother and assoc christian, I. L. Beynon. Whereas, He labored untiringly for the highest development of our social and spiritual life. Resolved, That we bow in humble submission to the will of "Him who Death all things well." Resolved, That we direct the family and bereaved friends to The Great Physician who heals all wounds and enables the grief-striken to see the silver lining of joy and comfort behind the dark clouds of grief and disappointment. Resolved, That his exemplary qualities of head and heart will brighten his memory as the days go flying by Resolved, That we commend for eternal rest apd joy his spirit to the God who gave it. Resolved, That a copy of these reso lutions be given the bereaved rela tives and the Nashville Globe. (Signed) Wm. N. SANDERS. Interment was made in beautiful Greenwood Cemetery. Mr. Davis leaves a cousin who resides in Chicago, who was present at the funeral and a host of friends to mourn his loss. STEWARDESS ALLIANCE CELE- BRISTS FIRST ANNIVERSARY.

UNPARDONABLE SIN IS THE THEME OF "BLACK BILLY" (By Dr. G. A. Long.) "The Devil and Old Tom Walker." will be the theme of Black Billy's sermon this, Tuesday evening at the old time revival meeting at the First Colored Baptist church, Franklin and Righter streets. As this promises to be a big night for children, the little folks are working with Trojans and giving out hundreds of invitations to the older people to hear Black Billy preach on "The Devil and Old Tom Walker." The services for Monday evening was largely attended by both white and colored religious workers, who listened to a remarkable sermon on the subject of the "unpardonable sin." Black Billy in his characteristic way paints dierd picture of the awfulness of sin and its deadly effects on the human race. He went through the various sins, such as the illness of murder, the shedding of the human soul in violation of a righteous God's command that thou shall not kill. Though a great sacrifice may torture the murderer; yet this cannot unpardonable sin; we drew a sad picture of the liberties of the adultress, which he classed among the blackest sins of society; yet these sins not constitute the unpardonable sin." Stealing and laying are bad enough, but God has laying are bad of escape from the ecategory of sins' awful penalty by faith in Jesus Christ, and Jesus said that a man might balshepme the sick of the righteous God, or may speak evil of Christ himself and yet if he repens he may find pardon and be forgiven. But the unpardonable sin is not putting of the day of Grace, that is, the sin of procrastination, that is, the sin of rejecting the Holy Spirit does not constitute that awful much dreaded sin. Pardonable sin, neither does the act of back sliding after conversion that is falling from grace, but the unpardonable sin of the sin against the Holy Ghost. Such as in the Divine of the Holy Ghost to that of the Devil, such as to speak evil of the immaculate connection and of the Divine birth are the working of the Holy Ghost. Such as in the Divine of the miraculous healing of the dumb and blild man, or the parable by Jesus, as the work of the ill spirit, Jesus said in the Gospel of Mark, 3rd chapter, 29th and 30 verses as to what would constitute that unpardonable sin, which has neither forgiveness in this world nor in the life to come. The sermon made a lasting impression on the large audience who had come many from distant places to hear a simple practical Gospel messages. The big choir will sing many able sin, which was indeed one of the most helpful expository gospel messages ever listened to here in Helena. Tomorrow, Wednesday, Black Billy will preach on the subject of "Death in the Pot" and in hl sown unimitable way will present this old Scriptural truth in the light of twentieth Century enlightenment, as this is Black Billy's closing week many who have not availed themselves of hearing one of the most remarkable Negro gospel preachers and revivalists in the world are flocking to hear his closing messages. The big church will sing many of the sweet old gospel songs and plantation melodies, that have filled the old dtime camp meetings with religious fervor in by-gone days. "BLACK BILLY SUNDAY TALKS TO CHILDREN. Great was children's night at the Black Billy Sunday old fashioned revival meeting last night when hundreds of the little folks with their parents and friends crowded the First Baptist church, corner of Frank In and Rightor streets to hear Black Billy preach upon the subject of the Devil and Old Tom Walker." Preceding the sermon, the little folks and the time of their lives singing many of the old plantation songs, such as The Old Time Religion." "You had Better Mind How You Pray" and "America." The little fellows sang with vim an denthusiasm. In the vast audience were many children and their parents who took keen interest in the service, and everyone was repaid for having attended after listening to the wonderful children's sermon drawn from on of Washington Irving's famous New England stories on "The Devil and Old Tom Walker." From which he drew a striking lesson of the man who sold his soul to the devil for gold. Black Billy used as a text the words, "For What Profithe a Man If He shall Gain the Whole World and lose His Own Soul?" The revivellist, in simple words told this interesting story that gripped the interest of the little fellows with breathless interest until not a child grew restless or sleepy. When Black Billy told of the child influence in the world and gripped the same with a powerful illustration of poor little Tom, who led his infidel grandfather and his whisky-selling daddy to Jesus Christ, little Tom became the little folk's hero. And he chose of the sermon a young man "hit the trail" and united with the church. So impressive was the children's service that many of the parents have requested that Black Billy to preach again to the young people on Sunday morning he will give an illustrated sermon on the "No Harm Sins." This evening the sermon topic will be on "Death in the Pot." As this is one of Black Billy's masterpieces of pulpit messages, a rare treat is in store for those who may chance to hear its delivery with all of the native wit and eloquence of the gifted Negro revivalist, whose powerful sermons have created a deep religious interest among all classes, both white and colored, that have attended the revival meetings. As Black Billy was in the Cuban war and was in the daring charge in the battle of San Juan Hill in 1898, along with Roosevelt's Rough Riders, he has been urged to give his thrilling war lecture before he leaves Helena, which he has decided to do next Monday evening as a closing message here. EX. DISTINGUISHED NEGRO ORATOR VISITS HELENA. (By J. M. Washington.) The convention was closed last night with Col. Simmons, the nation's pride, on the stage. Dr. R. A.

A train of autos was standing at the Y and M. V. depot at 7:35 o'clock to escort Col. Simmons to the beautiful home of Mr. Willie Smith on Columbia street, Here he rested a short while. Dr. R. A. Williams, Dr. E. C. Morris Dr. O. L. Moody, Rev G. W. Simmons, Rev J. M. Washington, Drs. A. A. Marquis and D. A. E. Johnson were the committee to escort Col. Simmons to the church where 1,200 people had assembled in and around the church The Red Cross band played as the Colonel and the committee marched down the aisle, amid cheers. Notable among the white citizens present were Mr. Clare Fitzpatrick, Mr. D. A. Keeshan and others who heard with delight the appeal of Col. Simmons. Dr. Marquis in a short talk presented M. Douglas with a beautiful silver token, given by the students of her college. Miss Mattie Garrett sweetened the ears of all who heard her with a voice that was refined and cultured Rev. J. M. Washington introduced the speaker of the hour. Amid great applause, Col. Simmons began by asking the choir to sing one of the old plantation melodies, and pleading for the Negroes t continuus to sing their own songs. Col. Simmons said in his remarks, "I can get the American white man to stand by you. I will make him king of the world, and I will be his prince. The Colonel left the city his morning for points in the west. This closes the greatest event of the race in the city of Helena for this year. Last Wednesday morning the train brought the body of Dr. A. Sharp, one of our prominent doctors of the City. Dr. Sharp had been sick for about 12 months and continued to grow worse up until his death. After trying all of the leading physicians here, he then went to Colorado Springs, accompanied by his beloved wife, there he stayed for about six weeks where he was over taken by the monster death. His body was then shipped back here to his home where he stalled for about 10 hrs. during that time his funeral was attended under the aupices of the C. M. E. Church, Rev. Harrell the pastor, officiated. Then his wife, Mrs. A. B. Sharp turned the body over to his father for shipment to his old home. Dr. Sharp was one of the best dentists that Boley, has ever had. He was loved by all and left many friends to mourn his lost. The Boley, sympathizes with his beloved wife and many friends, hoping that our lost is heaven's gain. RESOLUTIONS.

UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINIS TRATION. OUR HARVEST. Last year, we had a poor harvest of wheat; this year we are promised a better one. With a large army and fewer farmers, next year may be a Out of our poor harvest, by sacrifice and saving, we sent the Allies one to enable them to fight on lean one. Out of our good hare, still by sacrifice and saving, we must not only send the Allies what they need, but build up the reserves required for the great offensive to win the war. SAVE SUGAR FOR THE MAN WHO FIGHTS NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY AUGUST 23, 1918. year the supply for our soldiers and sailors and the Allies, as well as for our own homes, must be safeguarded. ALL ALIKE. One hundred million people (American) are living in abundance. One hundred and twenty Million (English, French, Belgian and Italian), who have pooled their all in our common defense, are in want of food. Can we waste any? Must we not eat less? Shall we not all, the two hundred and twenty million, share and share all the fod there is for all of us? HOME CONSERVATION DIVISION. MAXIMUM PRESERVATION OF MAXIMUM PRESERVATION OF FRUIT WITH MINIMUM SUGAR. Fruit in some form is an important addition to the wholesomeness and palatability of the daily food. Any condition therefore, which threatens the household custom of preserving the summer and fall abundance of fruit for winter use, needs serious consideration. American housewives who have been accustomed to preserving fruits with quantities of sugar should not view the present sugar shortage as a death knell to their plans for conserving the fruit ripple. It is undoubtedly to be regretted that a sugar shortage exists. That is however not one of the tragedies of the war, but merely one of those inconveniences which a little consideration and resourcefulness will quickly help toessen. Sugar is desirable in preserving fruit but it is not necessary to its success. It has been used because it gives the very sweet taste so highly prized in the American diary and because it adds to the attractiveness of texture and flavor of fruit preserved with it. There are three things which the average average American house keeper, accustomed to preserving a quantity of fruit in her own home, should do to help na sugar conservation program: 1. Preserve a part of the supply by methods requiring no sugar. 2. Preserve a part of the supply with a green sugar substitute of sugar. 3. Preserve a part of the supply by replacing some of the sugar ordinarily used with other sweeteners. WHERE NO SUGAR IS USED 1 CANNING WITH OUT SUGAR. (a) Fruits may be canned by the usual methods, using for the liquid, water alone instead of sipur. (b) Unsweetened fruit juice may be used in place of sipur in canning fruit. (c) Unsweetened juice concentrated to a thin strip may be used in place of sugar in canning fruit. Fruits canned without sugar are not as fine either in texture or in flavor as those i which a moderate amount of sugar is used. This is a war measure and since fruit and not sugar is the food to be preserved, we must make the sacrifice willingly. The resulting product is as wholesome as the sweetened one would be and it will keep equally well. 2. FRUIT JUICES The juices may be extracted from fruit and sterilized and canned or bottled or future use. Canned fruit juices may be used in beverages and desserts, and those juices made from fruit which contain the necessary making substances may be made into juice later, when sugar is more plentiful. 3. FRUIT SIRUP Fruit juices may be concentrated by boiling to a thin or thick sirup and then canned or bottled to be used it as a sauce for puddings and desserts. 4. FRUIT PASTES OF LEATHERS Fruit juices or fruit pulps made by cooking fruit until tender may be concentrated by boiling an dthen being spread thin and dried by slow heat until dry and firm enough to roll or cut in strips. These pastes or leathers may be used as a confection in place of candy or they may be revived later by soaking them in water and may be used as a sauce. 5. DRIED FRUITS Fresh fruits may be dried whole in halves or cut into smaller pieces. Homemade dryers may be made or improvised for this purpose or a slow oven may be used. II. WHEN LITTLE SUGAR IS USED. If moderate amounts or sugar are obtainable and no individual uses more than a reasonable share of the present supply, part of the fruit may be preserved with some sugar. 1. Fruit may be canned with one-half or one-fourth the usual amount of sugar. The sweetness of the sirup in which fruit are canned may be reduced. Frequently this improves the quality and real palatability of the product. 2. In making pams, marmalades, and butters, reduce the volume of fruit pulp one-hird to one-half by boiling then measure an daddy only one-half sugar by weight instead for the customary three-fourths. III. USE OTHER SWEETENERS IN STEAD OF SUGAR. These are arranged in the order of their sweetness. HONEY—If honey is obtained it may be used, weight for weight, to replace a part of all of the sugar in any given recipe except in jelly making. It is equally as sweet as sugar and may give the mixture a decidedly honey flavor. Three-fourth sof a cup of honey weighs about as much as a cup of sugar. 2. MOLASSES—Molasses may be used as a substitute for sugar with such strong flavored fruits as plums or cranberries. The flavor of the molasses remains prominent. However even with those fruits the product may be objectionable until a taste has been cultivated for it. The addition of spices will help to mask the flavor of molasses. 3. SORGHUM AND OTHER GRAIN SIRUPS—The grains are like molasses. They give a decided flavor to the product which may be objectionable to those unaccustomed to food preserved in them. Spices will aid in masking the flavor of these sirups. RAISE A PIG! THIS MOTHER IS RAISING FOUR. 4. GLUCOSE OR CORN SIRUP—These sirups may be used to replace three fourths of the sugar by weight in any given recipe except Jelly making. Three-fourths of a cup of these sirups weigh about as much as a cup of sugar. Glucose or corn sirups are appreciably less sweet than sugar, honey or molasses. Sugar is $1\frac{1}{2}$ to 2 times as sweet as these sirups. COLORED NURSES GRATEFUL FOR CHANCE TO SERVE President of National Association of Graduate Nurses Sends Greetings to Race Representative in the War Department. Special to the Nashville Globe: Washington, D. C., Aug. 21—The colored people throughout the country continue feel deep satisfaction over the authorization of the enrollment of colored women as nurses in the base hospitals and camps where soldiers of the Negro race are stationed in large numbers. The hundreds of competent colored nurses, who have been registering their names for many months with the Nursing Division of The American Red Cross, with the hope of finally securing positions where their skill and experience might be utilized to proper advantage, are particularly gratified over the happy turn of affairs. At the comming convention of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses at St. Louis, Mo., it is expected that a formal message or appreciation will be sent to the War eDpartment. The American Red Cross Society and other agencies that have been instrumental in pushing their claim for recognition. The following letter from Mrs. Adah B. Thorns, R. N., president of the National Association of Graduate Nurses, attached to the staff of the Lincoln Hospital and Home in New York City, gives a typical expression of the sentiments of the colored women of the country, with reference to the admission of colored women to this helpful branch of Army service: MRS TIDES EXPRESSSES GRATI TUDE O FCOLORED NURSES Lincoln Hospital and Home, East 141 st St. and Southern Boulevard, New York.

War Department. Prefers "Sturdy Brotherly Men." - Competent Colored Chaplains Difficult to Secure. Washington D. C. Aug. 29:— There is great need in the Army of Chaplains for colored troops, and a statement authorized by the War DePartment is to the effect that a Chaplain is need for every 1,200 officers and men. The Army wants a special kind of Chaplain, sturdy, upstanding, brotherly, men between the age of 21 and 45 years who cares a great deal more about the welfare of soldiers than about distinctions and creeds. So far it has been most difficult to secure a proper number of colored Chaplains for colored troops. At the Army Chaplain School at Zachary Taylor a number of men are now receiving training, which is practical and intensive. To get into this School the candidate, if a protestant, must have the approval of a committee of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. 1112 woodward Building, Washington, D. C. Then he must pass a physical test of the Local Draft Board. While at the School he receives free subsistence. When he has completed the course successfully he is allowed mileage home at the rate of 3 1/2 cents a mile and when he is appointed he takes the rank an dpay of a first lieutenant of the National Army, 2000 a year and 2200 abroad. The next class will be gin on August 23. The training is practical and intensive. Take a sample day, for illustration. The vowel first-class private arises like any common soldier at 5:45 a. m., has 175 minutes of setting-up drill, and is required to circle around the parade ground at SAVE SUGAR FOR THE MAN WHO FIGHTS double time before breakfast by way of an appetizer. After breakfast he must police his quarters again like any other soldier, undergo an infantry drill without arms for 40 to 45 minutes, and then he is free for lectures and recitations. There is no service that can be rendered colored men in the Army at this time equal to co-operation with the effort to secure properly qualified men to serve as Chaplains, nl fact, it would not me amiss for some of the churches to release ministers for the period of the war, that they may serve this great cause. The tragic thing so far with reference t o cocolored Chaplains is that it has been impossible out of the hundreds of appications to get enough men to meet the educational and other requirements of the service. Any minister desiring additional information as to the eTraining School for Chaplains or wishing an appointment as Chaplain should communicate directly with The Adjutant General of the Army. Protestant ministers may also find it desirable to get in touch with the Federal Council of Churches, 1112 Woodward Building, Washington, D. C. Emmett J.

These colored men unload ed and coaled the eimmence steamship Leviathan, formerly the "Vaterland" in fifty-six hours, making a new world's record, in competition with other stevedore detachments on the western front in France, many of which are white. A film showing this splendid regiment at work and at play, to be exhibited throughout the country in the leading colored and white theaters. In Los Angeles, Cal., nine colored "four-minute men" are at work talking up the purchase of liberty bonds, war saving stamps and war organization activities among the colored people, with excellent results. The Army is still in need of chaplains. The ultimate plan is to have one for every 1,200 officers and men. It wants a special kind of chaplain—a sturdy, upstanding, brotherly man between the ages of 21 and 45, who cares a good deal more about the welfare of soldiers than about distinctions in creeds. At Camp Zachary Taylor, near Louisville, $K_9$ the Army is conducting a school for chaplains. The course covers five weeks and new classes are formed at about an interval of a week after the current class is graduated. Applicants must pass the physical tests prescribed by the local draft board. While at the school the studentchaplain receives free subsistence, lodging and uniform and—the pay of a first-class private, $33.00 per month, with mileage home at the rate of three and one-half cents per mile upon the completion of his course. If appointed he takes the rank and pay of a first lieutenant of the National Army, $2,000 a year and $2,200 abroad. hTe next class begins August 23.

The house a stwo- large reception rooms, a good-sized assembly hall, large kitchen reading and writing rooms, bowling alley, pool room, rathskellar, etc., in basement and toilet and bathing facilities. There are six dormitory rooms, suitable for 24 cots. In addition to this place, there is a prospect for a building to be equipped as a dormitory that will accommodate two to three hundred cots for the colored soldiers in this vicinity, with small expense, if any, to the men. A group of representative business men have agreed to furnish and equip the building with light and heat. August 3rd to 18th a campaign for health, of state-wide proportions, is being carried on at Columbia, S. C. On the 4th a meeting was held, and Governor Manning presided. The chief executive also paid a visit to Camp Jackson to encourage the colored citizens in their very helpful effort in promotion of better health conditions among their people.

Westbury, food administrator for the State of South Carolina; Dr. J. H. Goodwin, president of State Fair Association; N. J. Fredrick, editor of the Piemont Indicator; and R. W. Boulwure, president of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People of the State. The colored man is a willing factor in the war. This has been so convincingly demonstrated upon so many occasions that additional evidence is scarcely necessary. A striking case in point, however, may be noted in the journeying at his own expense from Birmingham, Ala., to Washington of Archie Neely, a starwart young colored American, to enlist in the army. He had been refused by the local boards at his home, but was so determined to battle for Uncle Sam that he scraped together the necessary funds and came to Washington to see the officials of the War Department in person and tender his services. His personality was so inviting and his plea so eloquent that Neely was accepted. There wasn't a happier youngster in the land than Neely when he left the War Department with a paper authorizing him to proceed at once to Camp Meade. The colored churches and fraternal societies of Jackson, Tenn., are planning to have in elaborate patriotic demonstration August 29th, to continue three days. Speakers of national renown will lie on hand, and a tremendous effort will be made to raise $5,000 for war purposes. A big parade is to be an outstanding feature of the occasion and it is expected that 25,000 marchers will take part. hTe affair is under the management of a local committee, headed by R. Flippin. Surgon-General Gorgas, of the United States Army, has called for the enrollment of 8,000 graduate nurses to enter the service at the rate of 2,000 a week. Says he: "The Army today is growing faster than the Nurse Corps is increasing. I therefore urge upon the American Red Cross, through its agencies, to bring to the attention of the trained nurses of this country the necessity of immediate offer of service and their enrollment in the Army Nurse Corps." With the rapid increase of colored troops in the Army, the necessity of large numbers of colored nurses will need to register and enroll for training should write to Miss Jane Dempsey Headquarters of The American Red Cross, (Army Nurse Section), or apply to the Red Cross authorities in the locality in which they reside. A new community house, adjudged the best in the district, has been opened for Negro soldiers at Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas. A committee has been appointed by the War Commission on Training Camp Activities and a colored worker has been placed in charge of the club home. The appointment of Lieut. Russell Smith, detailed 1 ucharge of the 2nd Battalion, Student Army Training Camp, Howard University, is the first time in the history of the United States Army when a colored officer has been placed in charge as commanding officer of a training camp. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., one of the race's ablest speakers, addressed a monster patriotic meeting recently at Wadesboro, N. C., with more than 6,000 persons in attendance from Anson and adjoining counties. Dr. Bowen was introduced by the Hon L. P. Robinson, member of Congress fro mthe Wadesboro district. He pointed out in a most luminous manner the duty of the race in support of the war policies of the Government and urged the people to respond cheerfully to the call to the colors, to buy Liberty bonds and war savings Stamps to contribute generously to the funds for the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and to engage heartily in all of the activities designed to aid the nation in the winning of the war. Dr Bowen spoke to another large gathering at Hickory, N. C., en route homeward to Atlanta. The full text of President Wilson's letter in denunciation of lynching will probably be circulated in France among the colored soldiers. The Negro Auxiliary of the Knox County Chapter of the American Red Cross Society of Knoxville, Tenn., is doing excellent work, with Mrs. J. G. Robinson as president.

There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people got discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of a renowned chemist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get beat results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Quinasoap asks for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and We will mail them to you. Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130 street.

Office of the Director General of Railroads. Washington, D. C. Aug. 20, 1913. STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC. Compaints have reached me from time to time of overcrowded trains and unsatisfactory conditions prevailing in some sections of the country in passenger train service. I feel certain that there are grounds for some of these complaints, but I am sure the public will be interested to know that the reasons are twofold: First, the great number of troops now being handed over the various railroads between the homes and the cantonments, between the different cantonments and then to the seaboard, is making extraordinary demands upon the passenger car and sleeping car equipment of the country. This has caused a scarcity of day coaches and sleeping cars which it is impossible to remedy immediately. Secondly, the increased demand upon track an derminal facilities for the transportation of the tremendous amount of coal, food supplies, raw material, and other necessities, military and naval operations, as well as for the support of the civil population of the country, force the largest possible curtailment of passenger train service. The movement of troops and war material are, of course, of paramount importance and must be given at all times the right of way. It was hoped that the increase in passenger rates recently made would have the wholesome effect of reducing unnecessary passenger traffic throughout the country. The smaller the number of locomotives a. a.d5aCMF number of passengers who travel the greater the number of locomotives and care and the larger the amount of track and terminal facilities that will be freed for essential troops and war material movement. Engineers, fireman and other skilled laborers will also be released for service on troops and necessary freight trains. Among the many patriotic duties of the American public at this time i the duty to refrain from traveling unnecessarily. Every man, woman and child who can avoid using passenger trains at this time should do. I earnestly hope that they will do so. Not only will they liberate essential transportation facilities which are necessary for war purposes, but they will save money which they can invest in Liberty Bonds and thereby help themselves as well as their country; and the fewer who travel the more ample the passenger train service will be. I may aid that consistently with the paramount demands of the war, every possible effort is being made by the Railroad Administration to supply the largest possible amount of comfortable and prompt passenger train service. W. G. McADOO Director General of Railroads. CITYITEMS Miss Long comes to our city with the reputation of being quite a musician. Mrs. Janie Stapler of South Pittsburg, was the guest of Mrs. E. H.

It is hoped that within the next few days a sufficient number of offers to help in some way, however small, will come in to warrant a list of such names appearing in print until the culmination of the present effort to raise funds. No one, however exalted or lowly, hesitates to share in the acceptance of compliments which outsiders pass upon Nashville for the splendid work which Nashville is doing through its Young Men's Christian Association—and everybody ought to be glad that this is—but on the other hand, it is a question as to whether one can honestly share in the acceptance such compliments until they have played well their part in helping to create local conditions which call forth the principles of outsiders. There are those who have given the full extent of their ability; there are others who have given barely enough to get a place on the list of donors, and they are still others who have contented themselves with the intention to give which has manifested itself to the extent that they have given their names on a promissory note, which note has been long since past due. If the notes on the building are allowed to run as long as some of these promissory notes to the building fund have already run, it will only be a matter of time before the interest and compound interest will exceed the principal debt on the building. There were those who insisted upon being given an opportunity to see the building erected and its activities in full blast—in other words they said "do something and I will redeem my mplege." However unreasonable this may have been, the thing has actually been done. The first year has closed with receipts amounting to $10,000 paid into the current fund treasury to meet current fund obligations, and with almost one-fourth of the second year's work complete with indications pointing to receipts which will amount to at least a cent more than the first year. With the bills for bedding amounting to approximately $2,000 being met out of the current fund, which should be used with the equipment for starting out. The Colored "Ys" record is one which all the South who are to follow after may well emulate, but all the past records bekespeaks for Nashville may prove of no avail unless the pressent crisis is tided over and the build J. 1 Conventoin of Texas, Moderator o ment, member of the National Bap e city this week en route to the East ing obligations met by the citizens of Nashville.

Muirhead, Camp Taylor, from St. Louis, Mo. He will give his life for the thee, dear land; His precious blood he will shed. That thou mayst be protected, dear land. From the clutches of the Hun's cruel hand. The colored man is no slacker. For this dear land he is a stalwart backer. This land of the free and the good, And the purest of pure womanhood. And as a little child shall lead them, Out of darkness into light; So the slaughter of innocent woman and children Has led him into the fiercest fight. So when you see the colored man leaving For the oversea land, do no grieving! Just know thou his brother has called And the call is for the safety of us all. But when you see him coming back from oversea land, Like some without hands and some without feet on which to stand, Just raise your windows high and shout Until the echo shall rend the vaulted sky. For the colored man will never be a slacker. Whenever these United States shall call upon him—her backer. 22 MR. EMETT JAY SCOTT, Washington, D. C.
