St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 17, 1918.—(Special to the Nashville Globe).—President Jones arrived in St. Louis, accompanied by Rev. Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Tenn. Dr. E. C. Cole, known throughout America as well as across the waters, was at the station. A hearty welcome was accorded them. They were soon comfortably provided for and then as the storm struck seven the Rev. Dr. B. G. Shaw of the Metropolitan Church, who was given his $3,000 limousine, which has just been presented him by his congregation. The silver cornet band, famous for its own compositions and specialities, struck up America and thousands gathered along Morgan street to pay honor to those who had come to be present on this occasion.
Doctors Jones, Boyd, Cole and Shaw led the procession and immediately followed the band. In line, under the direction of Grand Master L. F. Ford were Patriarchs, Odd Fellows, Past Grand Master, Councils, Households of Ruth and Juveniles, as well as the Military Department under the splendid organization of women. St. Louis has come to her senses. The occasion had been widely advertised and the entire city awoke to the fact that those who were to speak were representatives of Negro selfhelp along every line, and whose ideas are that religion and industry are hand-maidens and must go side by side in the development of the pro
Central Baptist Church, pastored by Dr. G. E. Stevens, had been secured for the occasion. The audience stood while Doctors Boyd and Jones remained at the door. A company of the leading citizens of St. Louis proceeded to escort them to the rostrum and never before has greatened or greeted strangers than that which prevent the fashionable but determined audience at historic Central. The rostrum of Mississippiians. The audience stood while "Bless be the die that blinds" was then heard with a melody that claimed the attention or passivity by Fervently did Rev. Dr. E. Calvin Cole lead in prayer. Said he, "Grant, blessed Master, that these two leaders of thought and force may on this occasion impart to and 'inform as as inspire and lead on to nobler utte vitality and vision so necessary for this purpose and grant that our great Publishing Plans, and all other institutions may, under your care and guidance, reach the zenith of attainment."
Mr. George Golter next introduced Grand Master Ford, one of our leading men, as master of ceremonies and in choice language he presented Rev. Dr. Henry Allen Boyd. "I present to you," said Grand Master Ford, one of the grandest spirits of the world and consider it an honor as well as a consideration to have the opportunity of naming one of the proudest products of the nation in particular. As a business man he is a genius; as a churchman, he occupies in the eyes of the world one of its humblest; as a preacher and orator, he has few equals and I am proud of him, not only because he is the real manager of one of the greatest business concerns owned and operated by Negroes in the world, but he is the worthy son of Dr. R. H. B. the greatest constructive genius save Washington, the world has ever produced. Dr. Boyd will introduce to you Dr. E. P. Jones, the speaker of the evening.
Those who know Rev. Henry Allen Boyd will agree that he never allows an opportunity when in his grasp to pass without fundamentally yet truthfully telling of the accomplishments of the great Baptist family. He told the truth. He elaborated upon the great business accomplished by the denomination through its various Boards, showing that more than $210,000 had been collected and disbursed by our various Boards of the dedicated Baptist Convention which had recently held a 38th Annual Session at Little Rock, Ark. The eloquent speaker held an address in his grasp and as he told facts the entire audience would at times give him deafening aplause. He spoke out of the fulness of his heart; his language was chaste; eloquence dropped from his lips as never before and it marked him forever as a favorite in St. Louis. Invitation after invitation was extended to return. He took them under consideration. Dr. Cole insisted that the next Sunday School Congress come to St. Louis. Dr. Boyd will report the invitation to the Executive Committee. He then introduced Dr. E. P. Jones, President of the National Baptist Church. Dr. Jones on the onset declared that the brilliant address delivered by Dr. Boyd was the complete expression of his sentiment and "I would now desire from further remarks if I had your permission. I do not care to spoil a programme so elaborate and complete and the one I have just heard rendered. I must, however,

"The work of the Foreign Mission Board, under the guidance of Drs. J. H. Frank and P. Kemp; the Educational Board, under Drs. G. L. Prince and David Abner; the B. Y. Board, under Drs. L. Drane and S. R. Prennell; an in-house force est prevailed in every detail and am unlimited success attended their every effort. I am delighted to be the servant of such an organization. In our heart of hearts, there abideth only good-will and hope for the entire denomination and we are engaged in a work that cannot be hindered. Our great Theological Seminary and Training School at Nashville will open its doors to give to the world a trained ministry. Nineteen thousand Sunday schools led by devout superintendents will be requested to help maintain this immediate needs. We close these remarks without referring to the work of our Publishing Board and reference to Drs. R. H. Boyd, C. H. Clark and other members of the Publishing Board, who are doing so much to make permanent the doctrines of our denomination."
Dr. Jones intended to leave immediately for Chicago, but upon the urgent insistence or citizens, remained over and was tendered a banquet seldom equalled in Missouri. The most representative citizens of the city were present. A menu under the direction of one of the best caterers of the city was served. The guests listened attentively to the words of the distinguished visitor. At 11 o'clock, when he had concluded his closing remarks, he was soon at the station under the care of Drs. Cole and Shaw. He is soon to return to the city.

LITTLE ROCK CHORUS HONORS
PROF. JOHNSON.
In recognition of the excellent services rendered at the recent session of the National Baptist Convention to their local chorus the Little Rock Chorus of more than two hundred voices, which was organized and trained by Prof. H. P. B. Johnson, has just sent him a splendid testimonial in the form of a baton with a mounting of silver and ivory tip. On the silver mounting are the initials of the national chorist. The presentation was made by Mrs. E. H. Cary, who was the organist. The baton is of ebony and is artistically designed. In addition to this the Little Rock chorus also raised from tars $1.00 and presented to the Bantist Theological Seminary. It is said it is the greatest forward movement ever made by a chorus trained for national service. Further assurances come that the chorus will remain intact as the local churches of Little Rock seem to realize the d'instinct advantage coming from a chorus made of the various choirs of the various churches of Little Rock.
Mrs. Maggie E. Napier, the mother of Dr. Alonzo Napier, has arrived in the city and it is reported will take up her residence here with her son, Dr. Napier.

DEMOCRACY'S DISCRIMINATIONS AGAINST NEGROES
TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
Mr. and Mrs. G. P. Baker, of Scovel street, celebrated the twelfth of their marriage at their home last Monday evening. For the occasion this handsomely furnished home was further enhanced with vases of cut flowers and pots of ferns, over which shone the soft rays of numerous lights. Promptly at 9 o'clock Miss Nell E. King announced the first number on program, a solo, "Love" Miss Lula B. Holland, then Mrs. H. A. Boyd began the beautiful strains of Mendelssohn's famous wedding march. Immediately from the south door enter Mrs. George Charles Baker, while from the door enter little Miss Mattie Mai Baker. Follow in the same order came little Misses Phinetta Agnes and Hazel Emma Baker. Mr. Chas. H. Thorn, who was best man for the occasion and Mr. G. P. Baker came next. Mrs. messaline with lace accessories and Chas. H. Thorn in a creation of white carrying American Beauty roses, was matron of honor. Mrs. Baker attired in a becoming toilette of georgette, with bead trimming entered with Mrs. Thorn. The bride carried a huge bouquet of roses and ferns. The entire party was met at the altar by Rev. C. H. Clark who in most befitting words bound the happy pair and their four children into close bonds of an already happy union. A handsome collection of costly and useful presents silver and linen were the invitations of the these young folks. Refreshments served and then the remainder of the program was rendered, consisting of a reading by Miss Josephine Douglass, instrumental solo, Miss Wai Rucker, solo, Hazel Mai Baker, Reading, Mrs. C. J. White and an instrumental solo by Prof. H B. P. Johnson. By request the choral class of Mt. Olive Sunday School rendered one number.
From a prettyly arranged table in the reception hall, Fruit Punch was dispensed by Misses Addie Towsen and Annie Mae Dunson.
This country has thrown its entire strength, energy and might with the allies in an earnest endeavor to rid the world of the powerfully insidious and infamous Germanic military autocracy and all kindred lilies, which must be eradicated to insure the future peace, perpetuity, perpetuation and progress of the civilized world.
Our soldiers are fighting side by side with the allied troops in France, without regard to color, creed or previous condition of servitude or alliance, which is truly a democratic army.
The allied military leaders have long since learned, that if success is to crown our efforts and sacrifices, there must be no such enemy within the ranks as race prejudice and color line.
Despite the incessant efforts of some of the members of the fighting forces to propagate and disseminate racial prejudices, antipathies and color lines in and over France, they have met with practically no success, according to letters from the battle front.
No army can attain victory on the battlefield with its forces divided and the army that pursues such a program and policy only invites and courts defeat, disaster and disgrace. The present titanic conflict our soldiers and our allied comrades in this common cause can not defeat the enemy, unless all of our forces over here are co-ordinated in the prosecution of the various war activities.
We must have men, money, ships, food and war munitions and in the securing, production and conservation of the same, colorphobia is to be avoided, for Germany would have no better ally than race prejudice and its attendant lilies and every time color line enters into our war activities, the kaiser and his adherents are tickled beyond expression; in fact, the house of Hohenzollern breaks forth with song and paes of joy and at all such acts, actions and demonstrations so favorable to their cause.
The Government is making an urgent appeal for both women and men in different branches of its war work and at present it is claimed that there is a shortage of men for both skilled and unskilled labor.
Particularly is this shortage noted in the shiubuilding industry in the South, a section of the country that has always been laden with capable and competent mechanics, especially carpenters, of both races.
This city possesses two plants turning out ships for the government to serve the wants of OUR fighters, as well as the allies; these yards are carrying the war equipment, "making the world safe for democracy," not for any particular race or nation, but for all peoples, under all climbs, at all times.
Several American citizens—colored mechanics—have applied for employment both at the local shipyards and others in the South and have been informed that they can not "use any sharp tools;" i.e., they can serve as helpers, receiving helpers' compensation, but laboring as mechanics and artisans—positively and absolutely nothing doing, despite their qualifications and efficiency; despite the government's urgent and earnest ap-

PRIVATE JOSEPH C. FRIERSON
Private Joseph C. Frierson is one of the boys in France of whom Nashville is proud. He writes that he is enjoying perfect health and is in the best spirit. According to Frierson the morale of our black boys "over there" is very high. Private Frierson is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Frierson, 47 Will street. He is a product of the Nashville Public schools and is now a member of the first colored-Engineers Force that went to France. He wears a gold bar for good foreign service. His address is Pvt. J. C. Frierson, American E. F. France, Co. D. 505 Engineers.
peal for competent and capable workers, and despite the government's request that men seek employment in some war essential and help speed up the war and assist in its successful termination, American citizens—with out due regard to their competency, efficiency and proficiency, but because of color, German sympathizers and domestic traitors—are denied employment in the branch of service for which they are best suited to maternity and the Red Cross, in an outlined program of winning the war.
There was a member of the labor bureau in the city a few days ago from Nashville, Tenn., in quest of skilled and unskilled laborers for the ship building industry, and upon hearing of such, one of our leading carpenters and contractors, Mr. A. J. Johnson, in company with a member of the committee to register and secure colored cotton pickers, went to the local Federal employment bureau to see the labor agent.
The said labor agent had gone to Galveston, but the local manager of the office informed them that ONLY WTTE and MMXII WS were desired, and if they could not be secured, then perhaps, if sufficient colored men could be secured to work in separate gangs, it was possible and probable that employment would be afflowered colored workers.
These Mexicans are not American citizens, either by birth or naturalization, yet with all their known hatred towards the American white man, whom they call "gringo," they are imported into this country from Mexico, where German propaganda is rife and running rampant; these Mexican peons, who have about as much love and respect for our country as a cat and a dog, are not accustomed across the border into our Republic like so much cattle and they are being given preference and preferment over AMERICAN CITIZENS of color, who have nobly, valiantly, unselfishly, willingly and patrolitously stood by this country since the early days of the Republic, even antedating the sacrifices on the sanguinary battlemaking the greatest and supreme Revolutionary War, and who are now fields over there" for the propagation of the American culture, the perpetuity and perpetuation of our commonwealth and the enthronement of democracy as the political religion of the civilized world.
What are these Mexican peons and aliens doing for our country's defense? Can they be trusted like American black citizens? Would they be willing to, yeah! would they offer up their lives for this country's honor, integrity and protection? Do they believe in American ideals and institutions? Have the custodians of this country's welfare any method whereby they can distinguish the pro-German from the anti-German among these imported sections of the land of Montezuma? Is it fair to give more recognition to these questionable aliens than a full-blooded, thoroughly reliable and dependable pan-Americans?
When the various army camps and cantonments were being constructed, not a solitary colored carpenter was permitted to drive a nail in a single building in this part of the moral vineyard; yet our money as citizens

DR. CLARK SPEAKS AT POWDER PLANT.
About three thousand workmen out at the Government's powder plant got a message from a real gospel minister last Sunday night. The services were held under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association and Rev. Dr. Clark was invited to speak by Prof. Gilbert, one of the Secretaries of the Y. M. C. A. The services were held in the evening and at the opening not more than 10 minutes before but when the speaker began to deliver the message and to depict the sufferings of the Cross of Calvary and then enlarged the beauty there was in the religion of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, it got the ear of the hundreds f men in and about the camp and before the speaker was twenty minutes in the progress of his address the hut was crowded to overflow and they were standing on the outside and a conservative estimate of the number of people were benefited by his remarks. Rev. Dr. Clark has been looked upon as the leading minister of Nashville, pastoring the largest Baptist Church in the city. He has been an ardent supporter of the Y. M. C. A. work and was one of the big subscribers when the campaign was on for the purchase of the property.
GOVERNOR APPOINTS DELEGATES.
Gov. Thos. C. Rye of Tennessee has mailed out a number of appointments of delegates from this state to the twentieth Convention of the Negro National Educational Congress that is to be held in New York City Oct. 9, 10 and 11. Among those named by the Governor is Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, Secretary of the Sunday School Congress. It is not definitely stated how many representatives the Governor has named nor how many will be in attendance.

Now right under the nose of the chief executive of the Republic are rank and willful discriminations against AMERICAN CITIZENS, who unfortunately are daily wearers of dark skins. Americans are discriminated against and refused employment in the departments of treasury, labor and navy, according to recent reports emanating from Washington, D. C., while we are doing our "bit" and best in "democracy's" mighty struggle "over there," as well as supporting war activities and appeals over here.
A few days ago the civil service commission certified a colored woman for a position in the treasury department from District of Columbia, due to her standing on the eligibility list, being unmindful at the time of her marriage, her color, her badge of disgrace and dishonor; and when she appeared within an hour's time after receiving the notice, she was politely informed that "there are no vacancies."
In advertising in a Washington newspaper recently for 250 men to serve as watchmen, from 23 to 65 years of age, with a salary attached of $70 to $75 per month, the department of labor specifically stated in the ad that "ONLY WHITE MEN" would be employed. This is the department that recently employed Dr. George Haynes, formerly of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., as advisor, dignifying him with the title of Director of Negro Economics."
The navy department's attitude in enlisting colored sailors is so well known that it need not be mentioned here, but this department, in line and harmony with other departments has adopted and put into operation another discriminatory policy against AMERICAN CITIZENS of color, the latest being a refusal to enroll colored women, graduates of high and normal schools, who had been responded to an ad setting forth that department's needs along that line for workers in the bureaucracy "a great burden on the Nation's control." Despite Federal control and management, AMERICAN CITIZENS of color are still the recipients of humiliating, discriminatory, inhuman and undemocratic treatment on the railroads in the South, where they are forced to pay first-class fares and receive anything but first-class passage and accommodations.
Since the government has assumed control of so many commodities, utilizes jujususus usea suj u33 43uncoes industries and activities in this living and equitable wage and at the same time it has seen to it that the government got all that was due it, but when it comes to selling colored Americans transportation it appears that the Federal Government has forgotten to preach and teach both by precept and example. With Hillary Clinton's bank discriminations give the black eye to our "democratic" preachments and are calculated to render inestimable and incalculable service to the bluffing and boasting beast of Berlin, the proud and arrogant autocrat of the imper-
READY TO FIGHT OVERSEAS FOR "WORLD WIDE DEMOCRACY." Volunteer State Will Furnish Its Quota Negroes Ready and Willing.
Nearly fifty thousand Negroes were registered in Tennessee for service in the recent registration, September 12th, according to the figures given out by the local board this week. The calculation made before the registration showed that perhaps only about forty thousand were expected to come within the age limit, but the actual figures thus far compiled showed 49,415 Negroes, of which there were no aliens from eenmy countries. One of the most pleasing things about the present war that has been brought out has been the absolute absence in the United States of any persons of Negro blood registered as an enemy alien that has been thus far disclosed. Hundreds of British subjects, hundreds of French subjects of African blood have been as active and loyal according to the best reports as those of American blood in offering their services in the present conflict. Another fact brought out in the register is that in the counties of Tennessee, Bledsoe, Picket, and Union there were no colored registered at all. Whether the age limit had been entirely exhausted by the first draft or whether they were all too young or too old, has not been explained. Another big surprise sprung

Occasionally information has escaped through the rigid lines of racial prejudice of the Negro's heroism overseas and in the trenches. The Government, it appears, has given out time and again that it will tolerate no discrimination and the President has been outspoken against mob lw and lynchings and it seems that the War Department has sent the word down that no discrimination on account of race or color will be tolerated. But in, spite of this it will appear that little is given out about the action, bravery and the courage of the Negro troops "Over There." But occasionally it seems that there has passed through news items depicting the work of the American Negro in France. The latest appeared from the Associated Press Dispatch in which it is shown how a Negro Private succeeds in capturing the Major of a German company and marches him as a prisoner to the city. He is then taken to the chapel that the Negro transferred his own burden and pack to the German Major and that he in turn took the German Major's eye glass r monocle, they are termed, and put it on himself. Little credence, however, is given to this part of the story which, however, my have occurred, but the fact remains, so it is believed on this side, that the capture really took place as the Negro's ability as soldeir and a fighter has long since been demonstrated. The clipping below is given as taken from the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Paris, Sept. 7.—During the recent American advance out of Chateau-Thierry a Red Cross Captain was looking about for suitable hospital sites when he met an American Negro soldier marching along toward Chateau-Thierry, following closely behind a German Major. The Negro had transferred his pack from his own back to the back of the German officer and had also transferred the German Major's monocle to his own eyes. Thus equipped, the black warrior was parading triumphantly down the road. As he passed the Red Cross captain, he called: "I say, look here what this niggers done got."

was the heavy registration of Negroes in Haywood and Fayette counties, Western Tennessee. More Negroes were registered in these counties by a considerable per cent than were whites. The same prevailed in Shelby County where it is claimed that 52 per cent of the population were Negroes. The county seat of Shelby County is Memphis, while Brownville is the county seat of Haywood and Summerville the county seat of Fayette. The quota of the Tennessee drafted men thus far from colored according to statements handed out has kept pace with its Negro population. There does not appear to have been any whole sale claim of exemption. The total number of white registrants on September 12, is given out as 207,870. The aliens who registered total 2,180, of this number 1,414 were non-declarants and 766 were declarants. In addition to these registrations and the very large figures showing the proportion of Negro population ready to do the service over the seas as well as at home, the schools of Tennessee those located here in Nashville such as the Meharyt Medical College and Fisk University, are to be filled to overflowing with men who are to do special work.
KEEPING TRACK OF THE MONEY
Washington, D. C.-While the colossal cost of the war in the United States (twice as high as it is anywhere else) attracts sober thought, the comment is made that the democratic administration never could have carried on the war with any considerable effect without the support of the Republican leaders. It required and sought their support to get through its essential war legislation, and then spurned it when that support desired to help hold in its hands a reasonable check on the expenditures.
To wage a war two things are essential—men and money. When the President called upon Congress for the first selective draft law the Democratic Chairman of the Military Affairs Committee in the House, Mr. support, absolutely refused to give the both his parts of the bill to Chief of the nation. The loyal Republican minority leader, Mr. Kahn, of California, stepped into the broch and carried through the House the schedule demanded by the nation's need. No single act of disinterested patriotism in the history of national legislation stands out in a clearer light than this.
When these same Republican leaders asked that Congressional Committees be appointed to oversee the expenditures of the money which they had so quickly and so lovely provided, they found that a strange and sudden union had occurred between the administration and the Democratic leaders, Messrs. Clark, Kitchin, Bont al. These then solemnly decried that such committees might delay the progress of the war. Accordingly the bollions voted only through the militant support of many Republicans have been spent without a single check being placed upon them, and now the most that Congress can do is to ask for investigation.
One reason why Great Britain is spending only half as much for the war as the United States, is that a genuine coalition government exists in England, where the best brains of all parties form integral parts of the government control. Thus each party acts as a check upon the other, and with much heightened e/calcy, economy and prudence. The Republicans are now, more than ever, looking ahead. They have refrained from asking for investigations even when they knew that conditions demanded an airing. They are zealously leaning backward in their policy refraining from doing anything that might embarrass the administration. Meanwhile they are actively both supporting and originating every possible measure to prosecute the war effectively and to win it quickly.
It is believed here that the next Congress will be Republican. If so, then the United States will have the benefit of the best brains of both parties. Why not use both horses to pull the load? At the present time Uncle Sam is keeping one of his horses—the Republican—in the stable. However, if the Republicans control the next Congress, both will be utilized.—Exchange.

The coal for the winter is in the basement paid for. Everybody now hustling that the pastor may be able to report at Pukulki a large increase in all claims (as he always does). Every officer of the church in our last quarterly conference asked the presiding elder for the return of our pastor, Rev. S. J. Howard, another year, with the church behind them. They send their prayer to the bishop and the conference. We have in him a worthy, strong and acceptable pastor. All of the different churches in our community are interested in his return.

Cor. Fairfield and Green Street.
Our Rally of last Sunday, 17th was the best we have had for years. It was a decided success from all points of view. The Captains of the various clubs into which the membership was divided, are due the most laudable credit, also the membership shall share in the praises, as they displayed the most earnest and ardent co-operation throughout and it is the wish of the pastor that they accept his heartfelt commendation and compliment on their successful efforts for their Gdo and their church.
No effort ever put into action, no movement ever put forth for the uplift and benefit of our church was or has been responded to with such an excellent showing of unity and brotherly thoughtfulness. The pastor and officers of the church are infeed proof of such a band of true workers as they have in the membership of their church and send their most beaty congratulations and a word of cheer to its membership.
On the fifth Sunday the pastor will preach his last sermon in this conference year, it is the desire of pastor that all the officers members and friends of the church be present and hear this his farewell sermon, at eleven o'clock, after the morning services, there will be a group made of all who attend. Rev. J. C. Sherrill, D. D. of the Board of Foreign Missions will preach for us in the evening services, we earnestly hope he will have a large and attentive audience.
Again the pastor wishes to thank as well as praise those who responded in his club, which consisted of friends of the church in as well as out of the city.

There is some very rare talent among these boys and the public is corollary invited to come and hear them. Rev.

Three Young Women Intruded by French Government with Important Task for Army During German Offensive.
American girls are busy in countless ways to win the war in their own country, as has been shown by many reports received by the Department of Labor, and it has now developed that they are equally active in France Three American girls, all prominent socially, and members of widely known New York and Montana families, have been acting as mail carriers between Senlis and Vie-sur-Alsine.
News of their work was received by the American Committee for Devastated France which has headquarters at 16 East Thirty-ninth Street, New York City. The young women began their career as mail carriers during the first week of June, when the German army was making headway in its drive toward Paris. The shortage of man power and the congestion of the railroads, which were carrying munitions to the front made the mail problem difficult, and the French Government was glad to avail itself of the services of the three girls. They are the Misses Barbara Allen, daughter of Frederick H. Allen of New York; Margaret Moore, of Butte, Mont; and Miriam Blagden, of New

York. Miss Allen furnished the motor and the other young women assisted in handing the mail sacks. Senils is one of the towns nearest Paris reached by the Germans in their great rush of 1914. It was badly damaged during their occupation. In taking the mail from that place to Vic-sur-Alsne the young women had to make their way as best they could toward the fighting line, a task calling for quick decisions and clear thinking, as well as for plenty of personal courage and willingness to work hard.
The roads during those days were not only in the usual bad condition of shell holes and ruts but the mass of moving humanity made travel on foot or by car a matter of great deliberation and caution. The stream refugees moving out to safety with all the possessiveness they could carry in the danger of soldiers moving in toward danger with munition wogs and traveling kitchens caused a delay in the routine of the post, but the work of the three American girls preserved the letters safely.
The instance was the first where the French Army has confided the task of carrying mail to women. The Committee for Devastated French Women of the Sixth Army Corps, and is as much under military orders as any other unit.
CANADIAN/CARE OF DISABLED
MEN.
Returned Soldiers Treated Better in the Dominion Than Abroad—American Plan Follows that of Canada.
Canadian methods of caring for returned soldiers who must be trained to new jobs are superior to those adopted by most of the allied nations, according to representatives of the department of soldiers' civil reestablishment who recently attended a conference in London on the aftercare of disabled men.
The Canadian procedure was carefully studied by the United States Government, which expects to establish an even more satisfactory system than that in vogue in the Dominion. The War and Labor Departments and the Federal Vocational Board are cooperating.
The Canadian exhibit at the London conference was larger and more diversified than the others dealing with industrial reeducation. It included exhibits of woodwork, metal work, boots, mechanical and architectural drawings by returned soldiers, and also millinery, baskets, and fancy work made by patients in the Canadian military hospitals.
Features of the Canadian system which are not found among those in vogue in Europe are the following: Every soldier is interviewed before his discharge with a view to ascertaining his needs; Canada has national and single control of the agencies for the soldiers training; responsible paid officials direct the work; returned officers and men are used as instructors where possible; occupational therapy is carried on in all military hospitals; long and efficient courses are given to prepare for permanent occupations; employment is found for trained men.
Practically all these features will be embodied in the American plan. The Employment Service of the De- man of Labor will find jobs for the man.
POINTERS ON WORKERS' HEALTH
British Commission Tells of Measures Which Should Be Adopted in Interest of Women Toilers. In its Final Report on the "Health of Munition Workers," issued by the ministry of munitions of Great Britain, it is stated that up to the present there has been no marked breaks down in the health of women, and valuable preventive suggestions are given. The report says:
"It is probable, however, that the strain has been greater than is at present apparent, having been hitherto counteracted and disguised by certain factors, such as improved food and better factory environment, welfare, supervision, and the dropping out of the physically weaker. The committee consider that certain conditions of employment are essential if the risk of future breakdown as to be avoided, including short hours of work conveniently arranged, medical supervision (including rest rooms, first aid, etc.), careful selection of workers, good food, a favorable factory environment, with sympathetic management an supervision.
"In the case of married women their employment should be confined as far as possible to 'light' work, and, if possible, some relaxation allowed at the beginning and end of the day and also during the dinner interval, as is sometimes done in certain industrial districts and also in France. Night work for women should be avoided unless absolutely necessary."
ENGLAND'S BIG HOUSING
PROBLEM.
London Will Spend Large Sums to Provide Proper Homes for Workers Engaged in War Industries.
London has its housing difficulties no less than cities in this country, and a project involving an expenditure of 3,500,000 pounds ($17,500,000) has been suggested as a means of solving the problem.
The London housing program is to provide for seven years after the conclusion of peace, during which period abnormal conditions are expected to prevail. The appropriation would be expended at the rate of $2,500,000 a year during this period.
The policy recommended provides for building new houses on estates ripe for development, and on site near insanitary and overcrowded areas. Already the London county council has available 106% acres, enough to accommodate 17,000 persons, on the basis of two per room. It is expected that opportunities will develop for the acquisition of other sites in suitable locations.
The committee also plans to raze insanitary dwellings and to replace them with more approved structures.
The farm labor situation has become serious in England, and introduction of labor-saving machinery has resulted on a much wider basis than has ever before been attempted.
By making full use of the farm machinery, and utilizing every agricultural worker available, the farmers have, on the whole, been fairly successful in harvesting their 1918 crops.
CONDITIONS BAD IN VIENNA.
Parliamentary Committee Reports
Deplorable Amendments on Child La-
der in Austrian Federation
The report of a parliamentary committee appointed to investigate conditions surrounding child labor in Austria discovered a most deplorable condition, according to the Arbeiter Zeitung of Vienna. More than one-third of all school children are engaged in some kind of work. In some districts all the children of school age are working. Out of every 100 school children between 6 and 8 years, 18 are at work; between 9 and 10, 35; between 11 and 12, 50; between 13 and 14, 52. Two-fifths of these children have been working from the time they were five or six years old. Out of every 100 children 95 worked during the school year as well as during holiday periods. When child labor is performed, a home with parents and nearly three-fourths of all the children are employed 52 weeks in the year. About one-fourth are engaged in night work. So serious is the situation that new legislation which will prevent the employment of children under 2 years of age, except on farms and in house hold tasks, is now being considered.
EVERYONE WORKS IN FRANCE
Spirit of Cooperation is Excellent
Declares Lieut. Paul Bertier, of
French Ordnance Engineers.
Everyone works and there is a fine
spirit of cooperation among the people
of France, according to Lieut.
Paul Bertier and other officers of the
mission of French ordinance engineers
in America, where they are engaged in important work for the French Government.
Men, women, and children are all gladly doing their part to free the land from the invader, and although long hours are the rule, there is no complaint, for everyone realizes that the task must be accomplished and that only by supreme exertions will it be possible.
In the great rush of the German invasion, back in 1914, France, fearing for her very life, summoned every man to arms. This was a mistake for munitions factories were denuded of their skilled workmen and many of them gave their lives in stemming Von Kluck's sweep toward Paris.
When the realization came that the munitions' factories were hampered and that their men could serve better there than in the army, a problem was presented. For these men were already in the army, and no one left outside except the men past 48 years of age, these physically unfit, and a few great specialists. Even the managers of the shops were in the fighting line.
The "work or fight" rule at once that force became a reality, for men were sent back from the army to the factories only so long as they could serve better there than in the ranks. If their work proved unsatisfactory, they were promptly returned to their places in the battle line.
France has now found a reservoir of unskilled labor among the German prisoners. They are used for heavy work, and Chinese and Senegalese workers have been imported for supplying other labor needs. Women have shown remarkable adaptability in the skilled trades, and do some really remarkable work in the munitions factories, particularly on shells. The supply of male skilled labor of military age, however, can only be increased by request to the ministry of munitions for the services of men at the front. In many factories wounded soldiers have been employed advantageously on certain work. In practice the rule is that men are not returned to munitions factories unless they have passed their thirty-fifth birthday or have served two full years in the army.
"It is not often necessary to send men back from the factories," says Lieut. Berthier. "The war is a fact to every man and woman in France. We shall have to stop and think what we shall do when the war is ended.
"Everyone works, for the war. Think what it means that we have made guns to enable America to enter the fighting earlier than she could have done! Think of the land, factories, the coal mines, and most of all, the men we have lost. It is only because everyone in France works hard that we can have guns and ammunitions for our allies and our own armies. Although I understand that other types of 75's are manufactured in England and America, I know that at Bourges all the French 75's—guns that have become famous—are made for the French and American Armies, not just a plant. It is that we produce in quantity for several nations!" This tremendous output, according to Lieut. Berthier, is only possible through keebing the factories goes 24 hours a day and 7 days in the week.
MY PRAYER.
Dear Lord, I come to thee,
No other God for me;
To ask remembrance for
Our boys across the sea.
There are many homes today
From which our boys have gone;
Dear Lord, I trust in you and pray
To shelter them from storms.
Some in distant lands,
Some across the sea;
But my only boy that grew a man
Has gone away from me.
Dear Lord, dear Lord, I pray to Thee,
Who bled and died on Calvary;
To touch the heart of the wicked man
That our boys may return to their
own land.
I pray the Lord for white and black,
For those that will return, for those
that won't come back;
That we'll meet over there in Sweet
Beulah Land.
Where there is joy and peace for
every man.

Proclamation by the President of the United States. Functions, powers, and duties of the Board. Principles and policies to govern relations between workers and employers. Method of presenting complaints and procedure of Board. Resolution passed by Board, July 31, 1918.
NATIONAL WAR LABOR BOARD
Preclamation by the President of the United States.
Whereas in January, nineteen hundred and eighteen, the Secretary of Labor, upon the nomination of the president of the American Federation of Labor and the president of the National Industrial Conference Board, appointed a War, Labor, Conference Board for the purpose of devising for the period of the war a method of labor adjustment which would be acceptable to employers and employees; and
Whereas said board has made a report recommending the creation for the period of the war of a National War Labor Board with the same number of members as, and to be selected from the same agencies that created the War, Conference Board, whose duty it shall fulfill, thus labor disputes in the manner specified, and in accordance with certain conditions set forth in the said report; and
Whereas the Secretary of Labor has, in accordance with the recommendation contained in the report of said War Labor Conference Board dated March 29, 1918, appointed as members of the National War Labor Board Hon. William Howard Taft and Hon. Frank P. Walsh, representatives of the general public of the United States; Messrs. Loyall A. Osborne, L. F. Loree, W. H. Van Dervoort, C. E. Michel, and B. L. Worden, representatives of the employers of the United States; and Messrs Frank J. Hayes, William L. Hutcheson, William H. Johnston, Victor A. Olander, and T. A. Rickert, representatives of the employees of the United States:
Now, therefore, I WOODROW WILSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby approve and affirm the said appointments and make due proclamation thereof and of the following for the information and guidance of all concerned.
The powers, functions, and duties of the National War Labor Board shall be to settle by meditation and conciliation controversies arising between employers and workers in fields of production-necessary for the effective conduct of the war, or in other fields of national activity, delays and obstructions in which might in the opinion of the National Board, affect detrimentally such production; besides by direct appointment, or otherwise by committees or boards to sit in various parts of the country where controversies arise and secure settlement by local mediation and conciliation; and to summon the parties to controversies for hearing and action by the National Board in event of failure to secure settlement by mediation and conciliation.
The principles to be observed and the methods to be followed by the National Board in exercising such powers and functions and performing such duties shall be those specified in the said report of the War Labor Conference Board dated March 29, 1918, a complete copy of which is hereunto appended. The National Board shall refuse to take cognizance of a controversy between employer and workers in any field of industrial or other activity where there is by agreement or Federal law a means of settlement which has not been invoked. And I do hereby urge upon all employees within the United States the necessity of utilizing the means, and methods thus provided for the adjustment of all industrial disputes, and request that during the pendency of mediation or arbitration through the said means and methods, there shall be no discontinuance of industrial operations which would result in curtailment of the production of war necessities.
In witness whereof, I have here- unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Columbia, this eight day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and forty-second.

ROBERT LANSING,
Secretary of State.
WOODROW WILSON.
FUNCTION, POWERS, AND DUTIES
OF THE BOARD.
The functions and powers of the National War Labor Board are as follows:
To bring about a settlement, by meditation and conciliation, of every controversy arising between employers and workers in the field of production necessary for the effective conduct of the war.
To do the same thing in similar controversies in other fields of national activity, delays and obstructions in which may, in the opinion of the National Board, affect detrimentally such production.
To provide such machinery, by direct appointment or otherwise, for the selection of committees or boards to sit in various parts of the country where controversies arise, to secure by local mediation and conciliation.
To summon the parties to the controversy for hearing and action by the National Board in case of failure to secure settlement by local mediation and conciliation.
If the sincere and determined effort of the National Board shall fall to bring about a voluntary settlement and the members of the board shall be unable unanimously to agree upon a

The National Board shall hold its regular meetings in the city of Waington, with power to meet at any other place convenient to the board and the occasion. The National Board may alter its methods and practice in settlement of controversies hereunder from time to time as experience may suggest.
The National Board shall refuse to take cognizance of a controversy between employer and workers in any field of industrial or other activity where there is by agreement or Federal law a means of settlement which has not been invoked. The name of each member of the National Board inviolably detained from attending one or more of its sessions may be filled by a substitute to be named by such members as his regular substitute. The substitute shall have the same representative character as his principal. The National Board shall have power to appoint a secretary and to create such other clerical organization under it as may be in its judgment necessary for the discharge of its duties. The National Board may apply to the Secretary of Labor for authority to use the machinery of the Department in its work of conciliation and mediation.
The action of the National Board may be invoked, in respect to controversies within its jurisdiction, by the Secretary of Labor or by either side in a controversy or its duly authorized representative. The board, after summary consideration, may refuse further hearing if the case is not of such character or importance as to justify it.
In the appointment of committees of its own members to act for the board in general or local matters, and in the creation of local committees, the employers and the workers shall be represented. The representatives of the public in the board shall preside alternately at successive sessions of the board or as agreed upon.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY NATIONAL WAR LABOR BOARD JULY 31, 1918.
Resolved, That the National War Labor Board deems it an appropriate time to invite the attention of employers and workers alike to the wisdom of composing their differences in accord with the principles governing the National War Labor Board, which were approved and promulgated by the President in his proclamation of April 8, 1918;
That this war is not only a war of arms, but also a war of workshops; a competition in the quantitative production and distribution of munitions and war supplies, a contest in industrial resourcefulness and energy;
That the period of the war is not a normal period of industrial expansion from which employers should expect unusual profits or the employees abnormal wages; that it is an interregnum in which industry is pursued only for common cause and common ends;
That capital should have only such reasonable returns as will assure its use for the world's and Nation's cause, while the physical well-being of labor and its physical and mental effectiveness in a comfort reasonable in view of the exigencies of the war should likewise be assured:
That this board should be careful in its conclusions not to make orders in this interregnum, based on approved views of progress in normal times, which under war conditions, might seriously impair the present economic structure of our country.
That the declaration of our principles as to the living wage and an established minimum should be constructed in the light of these considerations;
That the present the board or itsSION should consider and decide each case involving these principles on its particular facts and retil its judgements have been suffserve any definite rule of decision unciently numerous and their operation suffe enty clear to make generalization safe.

Come! Let's set the house in order,
And make each corner fair!
The boys who build a brand-new
peace
Ask us to do our share.
We must sweep it clean and tidy
Or all the rot and rust.
That has gathered here for ages;
They must find no dirt nor dust.
We will fumigate the cellar
And scour the mouldy walls,
And scrub with soap and honesty
The chambers and the halls.
Let's chuck the junk and rubbish,
The old, unwholesome stuff,—
Race-prejudice, and snobbery,
And can't greed and guff.
Away with party jealousy!
Away with boss and clique!
With selfishness and privilege,
Hypocrisy and cheek.
Let's decorate with industry,
And thrift and skill and health;
And burn that tawdry motto
"True Happiness is Wealth."
Set the nation's house in order,
And keep it so with pride;
Ready for heroes marching home,
Worthy of those who died.
HOW CAN GERMANY PAY?
By Henry Sterling Chapin of The Vigilantes.
As we read of the deliberate devastation of towns and destruction of personal property in France by retreating Germans, human nature revolts and the desire to wreak equivalent vengeance upon the Germans when our turn comes—as we are sure it will—rises in every man's mind as a sense of justice.
Then our centuries of civilization assert themselves and we realize that anything to German homes and villages that is equivalent to what the Huns have done to us.
How can Germany pay? Here's a way.
Assuming that we bring the war Lords to their knees, we should demand that German labor transport trees from Germany and plant them if France until every tree has been restored.
Demand that German buildings of appropriate character be torn down and their stones and plumbing and furniture to France until every house and every buoil hold in France has been restored.
Make German labor perform this until it is completed, with provision only for the essential food, lodging and clothing.
In this way the destruction the Hun has performed will be visited upon him without further economic loss and the lesson will be taught in ever German village from which the trees and houses are selected for deportation.
Any indemnities for damage to human life, such as are ordinarily combined, the end of a war, should be entirely independent of this physical reconstruction of Hun damage.
This would teach the real lesson in the right way to the people of Germany.
ACQUIRING A HABIT.
By Gertrude Atherton of The Vigilantes.
Probably nothing could humilate us more than to be foed to admit any superior quality in a race for which we have a profound loathing and contempt. And ye it is a fact that the national habit of thift in Germany is one secret of its prologged resistance to the combined might of the civilized world. It is quite true that before the war the Germans were gross eaters, but they wasted nothing. The moments the civilians were ordered to eat less and save the scraps they drew in th' in beets and did as they were told. It might be difficult to cont of the cravings of their distended stomachs but to scrimp and save involved no long apprenticeship cost them practically no effort whatever.
The same may be said of F. Annes. While Enland—as was wasteful a nation as our own—was issuing repeated a dalmant frantic warnings to her people, devising constant new methods to control their natural extravagance; and at one time threatened with starvation, the French simply went on economizing, never were in danger for a moment.
I never shall forget my first visit to Paris. It was to friends who lived in or at style, but if I happened to feel hungry during the day or when I went to bed late, I either had to go hungry or satisfy my healthy ought appetite at a confiserie. There is never an extra roll in a French household. Exact rations are bounty every morning for the day. If there are meals in the home, the must fed between meals has a provided for but nothing whatever for eccratic appetites.
I rebelled vigorously and denounced the French as a mean, stray economical race my approbrium extended to the Americans who drifted sinfully into the national habit. Little did I think in those days that the national habit of thrift and as very economical I France was one of their great sources of strength. The national debt of France before the

UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION
war was subscribed to almost exclusively by the peasant class and lower bourgeoisie, people who periodically dug into their stockings and bought a new bond. Nothing can exceed the self-delicat or those classes. was for this reason that Le Bein-Brueger Bliss-Bliss had at the request of the Fr nch government to provide delicacies for the wounded soldiers in the hospitals of the war zone, was a private organization, the funds to be raised by subscription. The men must have the tempting and delicate foods or die, but if the Government had taken over the task itself, that would have meant another tax, to be followed immediately by a popular outcry. To the Precincts mental delicacy spheres with luxury, and if it would have been impossible to convince the mills drudging at home that wounded men needed what they never had had be fore, ill or well.
When I lived in Munich I had a Swiss mald in whom I had implicit (and justifiable) faith. She would come to me perforously and say "Madame, je n'ai plus d'argent," and I would hand out several hundred marks. That was all I had to do with the housekeeping during my seven years' residence in Germany. And yet my incomparable Else would never give me anything to eat between meals bit zwiebach, which in Germany is as hard as the thrice accused national heart.
I have found it comparatively easy to follow most of the Hoover rules. for I have always eaten meat merely as a matter of duty, and took kindly to Graham biscuit with my morning tea. Moreover, the bread and butter habit at lunch and dinner I have always thought vulgar. But to eliminate waste has been a different matter. Still I have in a measure succeeded. There is nothing in the bread box or anywhere else (except the boxes of Graham batis) but the fully rounded corn now when I come home! I take of the afternoon hungry I either forget it or can a few more Graham biscuit—which I shall never look at a ain after the war is over.
I mention this personal experience because it is no doubt that of many others. In a short time it will be the experience of every one in the United States; for the way this nation has waked up, denied itself its customary luxuries in order to put the money into the Liberty Loan and W. S. S. is the most significant thing in its history. And as there is something very fascinating about thrift and economy after it has been practiced or a time no doubt the habit will be a lasting one, and this nation teaches heig's its wealth and strength of character to its most den a man a amirer never would have ventured to predict. More than any other sine cause does a national habit. If I is a good one, knit a nation together, prevent the disaster grtio which comes from the softness of end-hindglove.
And for the formation of this habit of the it, and the lucid exposition of what shift means in the winning of the way, we must thank the W. S. S. campaign. I doubt if any individual in this country, barring the traitors who call themselves Pacifists and I. W. W.'s has failed to buy himself at least one W. S. S. Many have put to them all the hard earned savings. But even the possession of one W. S. S. makes its possessor think. And when this nation has learned to think as a unit it will be what it now imagines it is, the greatest nation in the world.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT?
By E. E. Harriman of The Vigilantes.
This war will end some day. Some folks are already planning what they will do after it is over. Are we? I rea t o t other day that the German and Austrian prisoners now in Russia, had resolved almost to a mum that the would not go back to their former home when the war ended, but would emirate to the United States and Canada. What will our twin countries say to them, "Come sight along, brother! Make yourself a home. Take this chair. It has a higher back and thicker c shiron. Have a glass of ice-cold beer with me. I'll tell the wife and she will cook up a mess of sausage and make some biscuits and open her best canned fruit for you. Let me adjust this stool under you trepche shoes and offer a cigar to while away the time, till the diner is ready." Will we talk like that? Oh, will we? If we do I shall start out on a hike into the frozen north and begin to live on while steaks and seal slumber.
Isn't it about time for us to begin the plan? Should we go on with our job of licking the Hun and never look ahead to the time when he is going to become an economic question? Should we let things slide till he is on the sea, coming over in any old bottom that he can rake up, prepared to eat, eat and eat and help us make our lives nice and easy for the Hun at home? Or will we tell the Hun in Eu eup to get inside the Hunnish lines and stay there while he works out his own salvation? Shall we say to the Hun who being in America and enjoyin' its advantages, has elected to go back to Hunland and join in the frightfulness that has been the backbone of Kaiser Bill's plan, that it was no more than should be expected and be handled with care. Shall we open our internets camps and let them spew out upon our land the rotten messes they now hold? Having a clean dish and

wholesome food, shall we defile it with propagandists and spies and enemy agents? Having made our bed with clean sheets and pillowsflips and blankets, shall we turn the covers back and let the wallowing swine from the roadside mudhole creek within?
There is only one line of conduct that we can follow with honor and commonsense, and that is the line that will keep our bed and food and home clean. The line that will maintain the prity that we have attained through the refining by fire. We must say to the Hun in Europe, in Ameri a, in Asia, anywhere he may be found:
"Get to work within the confines of your own country! Build up and purify your land. Purge it of the filth that clogs its spirit. Wash it clean of the evil it has clung to so long. Refine it with years of sacrifice and earnest work for the right. Then, after the leaven has worked and passing decades have carried away the last grain of the old devilish doctrines and beliefs, then it is possible that the nations may grant you amnesty and let you go out through the world at large once more. It is up to you. Get to work on yourself."
Letting the Han wander at will after this war is over will be like leaving the line of fuse burning and merely cutting off the dead end after the spark had crawled inward toward the magazine.
Allowing him to have the same old freedom to come to our shores would be as foolish, and as disastrous in the end, as it would be to smother a fire with cotton loosely piled.
President Wilson and his advisers have a great many matters to handle and many questions to decide. Let us not leave them to do all the thinking or all the talking on this question. The American people are concerned to such a degree in this matter that they should not delegate to any man or body of men the task of thinking for them.

PULLMAN SUPERCHARGES EXPLAINED
The supercharge for transportation in Pullmans has been imposed in the hope that it will reduce the demand for Pullman accommodations and free the sleeping cars for the use of our troops on night journeys, and it is frankly stated that the order which makes one and one-half tickets necessary for the sole occupancy of a section and two occupancy of a compartment in an exclusive occupancy of a compartment has been issued to "discourage the well-to-do or extravagant from using more Pullman space than they really require, thereby excluding the thrifty or less prosperous portion of the public from the use of the Pullman space unnecessarily preempted.
THE AMERICAN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.
The American transportation system is briefly described as including a steam railway mileage (all tracks) of 337,014 miles, owned or controlled by 2,905 companies employing 1,780,814 persons. Their property also comprised various boats and steamship lines engaged in coast wise transportation and navigating an inland waterways system which included some 57 canals, 3,057 miles in length, as well as many thousand miles of navigable rivers, lakes, bays, sounds, and inlets. Of the 2,905 railways companies, 185 operated major systems, each of which had an annual operating revenue of 1,000,000 or more, 221 were switching or terminal companies, 1,434 were plant facility roads constructed primarily to serve some particular factory or industry, and 765 are what have come under the "short-line" railways, dependent upon more of the larger systems for connections. It is explained that many of the smaller properties included in this description of the plexus of transportation came under Mr. Mcadoo's control January 1, 1918, have since been relinquished as not essential to the purposes that the President's proclamation and the enabling legislation had in view, but that it is the declared policy of the Railread Administration to deal equitably with the relinquished properties in so far as it may have any relation to them.
CONDITION OF ROADS WHEN
TAKEN OVER
The report calls attention to the crippled condition of the railroads when they were taken over as the result of the freight congestion and blockades, and explains the measures of relief that were successfully applied to correct these conditions before any permanent organization was established. Congress had passed enabling legislation over the revolving fund of $500,000,000 which did not become a law until March 31, 1918.
THE WAGE ADVANCES-WOMEN
PAID SAME AS MEN
The various advances made in the wages of railroad employees since Mr. McAdoo took charge are dealt with at length in the report. It is explained that the recommendations of the Railroad Wage Commission of which Secretary Lane was chairman, have been accepted in so far as the percentages of advance recommended were concerned, but that Mr. McAdoo found himself unable to acquire the suggestion of the commission that no change in working hours should be made in continuance of the war, and that he has therefore recognized the principle of the basic eight-hour day in railroad service as a matter of justice. The advances made in the pay of common labor and in the wages received by the 500,000 employees in the mechanical departments of the railway under Federal control are also dealt with, as is an order instructing that the women employed by the railroad should be paid the same wages as men when engaged in railroad work, and that they shall not be permitted to occupy positions unsuited to their sex or allowed to work amid conditions that are unfit.
EQUAL PAY FOR NEGROES
A new departure in the treatment of Negro employees is indicated by the issuance of an order that all Negroes employed by the railroads shall be paid the same wages that white men get for a similar work. This has not been the general practice in the past, but the Director General says that he has felt that equal pay for equal service without respect for sex or color was the only policy that could justly be followed.
UNNECESSARY PASSENGER TRAINS ELIMINATED
Another interesting chapter of the report deals with the elimination of unnecessary passenger trains. Between many important cities a duplicate and elaborately equipped passenger service was formerly maintained by competing roads. Where this service was in excess of the demand it has been reduced by the abandonment of one or more trains. Between many important passenger trains have also been eliminated. In the district west of the Mississippi River an aggregate passenger train train age of 21,000,000 miles a year has been done away with. In the eastern district unessential passenger trains that used to travel 26,420,000 miles per annum have also been eliminated. Through travel is being directed to the natural routes. The hauling of special trains or needless private cars has been discouraged, and the schedules are being revised, so that closer connections can be made. Railroad tickets between points reached by any road than one road are honored by any government, and universal mileage book good in the hands of bearer upon any Government road is now to be had. It is to be sold in units of 500 and 1,000 at 3 cents per mile, plus the Government tax of 8 per cent. The coupons it contains are also good at their face value for excess baggage charges.
THE COAL MOVEMENT
The coal movement is a subject in which especial interest will be felt just now. At present strenuous efforts are being made to speed it so winter's distressing experience. The as to preclude the recurrence o f flat figures for the six months ending with July show an increase of nearly 22,000,000 tons over the movement for the corresponding period last year, which was the largest on record up to that time.
It is asserted that the energies of the Railroad Administration are now being largely devoted to moving the coal mined as rapidly as the Fuel Administration can deliver it, and that of late the coal mines have been supplied with cars more rapidly than those have been able to load them, so that they have longer any doubt that the transportation of the requirements of the Nation is available provided the coal production during the warm weather can be maintained so as to employ the cars requisitioned. Mr. McAddo adds that "at present this is not the case," and that "I emphasize this point because the country has been led to believe that the coal production is limited entirely by transportation and any shortage is at the railways." He claims that The "railroad system is and has been for some weeks past in a position to handle more coal has been produced and any shortage during the coming winter will not, it is hoped, be properly chargeable to the lack of transportation."
THE MARINE SECTION
There is also a Marine Section of the Division of Transportation with headquarters at Washington, and a manager of this section has supervision of the many steamship lines owned and managed, the object being to coordinate the more completely with the railways, as well as with other shipping.
SALARIES AND OFFICIAL FORCE
REDUED
The report asserts that in thus reorganizing the operating force it has been possible without any impairment of efficiency to reduce both the number of officers required and the aggregate of the salaries paid them. A table is submitted showing that under private control 2,235 officers drawing salaries of 5,000 a year or over were employed. The aggregate of their salaries was $21,320,187. Under Government control 1,925 officials are employed, drawing salaries 5,500 a year or over. The aggregate of their salaries is $16,705,285, and the saving salaries are to amounts to $4,614,889 per annum. This includes the officers of the various regional districts as well as those of the central administration in Washington.
A reduction in the legal expenses of the railroads amounting to approximately $1,500,000 annually has also been effected by the elimination of a number of men formerly employed in the legal departments, a reduction in the salaries of others, and the transfer of the general counsel of various roads from the operating pay to the salaries of the corporations. It is helpless the efficiency has in no respect been lessened. The report contains an interesting statement with regard to the salaries paid, which reads as follows:
"Under private control, salaries as high as $100,000 per annum were paid to officers of railroad corporations. Under Government control the highest salaries paid are to the regional directors (of whom there are but seven) and these salaries range from $40,000 to $50,000 per annum. This reduced compensation has been fixed. Regional Directors notwithstanding the restrictions of the laws, these directors as compared with therios aloarove rify. tjtW hznz those of the presidents of the larger railroad corporations.
"The reduction of $4,614,889 per annum in the aggregate of the salaries paid to the more responsible officials has not been effected by forcing the experienced men appointed by the United States Railroad Administration to accept salaries incommensurate with their responsibilities, although in numerous instances these salaries are substantially less than those they had been earning as officers of the railroads or could earn in other occupations, but that it was not only equitable but that sary that they should be justly remunerated, and that the reward of brains, industry, and loyalty should be sufficient t continually attract able men to the service of the railroads as their life's work. It is not a question merely of operating the railroads during the period of the war—this requires, it is true, the best talent that can be secured if the present extraordinary demands are to be met—but it is a question of the post-bellum period as well, when railroad work should be sufficiently attractive to draw consideration of the right quality and caliber. Unless the ranks are uninterruptedly recruited with such men it will be impossible to maintain the efficient organizations which are essential to the successful management and operation of the railroads of the country.

should be sufficient to make the juniors realize that the promotions and rewards of a railroad career are still worth working for, and that they will be commensurate with those of private enterprise and industry."
THE "CONTRACT."
Mr. McAdoo touches briefly upon the much discussed contract between the United States Railroad Administration and the corporations. He says that he is glad to feel that a satisfactory solution is near at hand, and that the railroad company is neither of the railroad companies nor of the Government. They have been inherent in a matter of such intricacy and magnitude.

INTERNATIONAL LABOR MEN
CONFER.
Merican and American Leaders Meet in November to Discuss Means of Common Action.
Closer relations between labor circles in American and Merico will be established, it is hoped, by the international labor conference to be held at Laredo, beginning November 13, at which the governors of all the border States of the Republics are expected to be present.
A delegation from the American Federation of Labor has only recently returned from Mexico City. The coming convention, it is believed, will be of great importance to labor, not only in the countries immediately concerned but in all Latin America.
"Wage earners have learned that their interests are favored by cooperation rather than competition," writes President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor in the Federationist. "The basic facts of the workers' advancement and betterment are the same the world over. The one force in the United States to which Mexicans confidently turned for unfalling assistance and advice was the organized labor movement. During all the years when the revolution in Mexico was in the making the organized workers of the United States were closely in touch and cooperating with the efforts of Mexican fellow workers."

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE
Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 14—Tuskegee Institute opened its 38th Annual Session Tuesday, September 10th. More than 1,500 students have been granted admission this year, and the first day's enrollment war one of the largest in the history of the school.
Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal, announced today that the War Department through the Committee on Education and Special Training has asked the Institute to continue the training of soldiers in contingents of 400 each. These soldiers are being trained in trades, but their work will not interfere with the regular work of the students. Principal Moton also announced today that he had received word this week from the Committee on Education and Special Training, Washington. D. C., that Tuskegee Institute has been selected as one of the institutions to conduct a Students' Army Training Camp. Inquiries and applications from all parts of the country are already coming in.
With the training of the soldiers and the regular students, Tuskegee Institute will have fully 2,000 persons regularly under instruction here this
WILL VISIT CAMPS
The proposed visit of the Rev. Clyde F. Armitage, one of the Secretaries of the Federal Council, to some of the army camps and the announcements that on this trip he will "bid to see any chaplain applicants who desire it, has led some ministers to believe that it is necessary for them to make the trip and interview Mr. Armitage in order to secure their
appointment. This, of course, is a misunderstanding. The main purpose of the trip is for conference with the chaplains in camp, and it was suggested by the denominational chaplain committees that several of their men who live near the camps would be glad to talk with Mr. Armitage about the nature of the work for which they were applying. In any case the process of approval of the application will be the same, the chaplains appointed denominational committee certifying to the ministerial standing of the candidate and his personal fitness for the chaplaincy.
MR. SKUNK HAS FINALLY ENTERED SOCIETY.
By D. B. Silberman.
For at least a hundred years, probably more, but that is as far back as we can remember, the skunk has been one of the most despised and feared animals that roamed the woods, but no more. You owlwill see him in all the cities of this country and Europe, proudly exhibited by his mistress in the street cars, automobiles, the剧院, operas, picture shows, in fact everywhere you see fashionily dressed women. As Grape-Nuts says, "There's a Reason."
There is no more beautiful fur than the lovely, silky black skunk. The name is not beautiful and has long been connected with things unpleasant, but this is also changed. In Europe the fur has been sold for years under its rightful name, but in the mother's veil, sweet-hearts and daughters would promptly elevate their nose at the mere mention of its name, so it was neces to re-christen Mr. Skunk after he had been skinned. This was when the skins sold at from 25 cents to one dollar and was considered a cheap fur.
In the past few seasons, since the skins have sold readily at from $3.00 to $6.00 and even as high as $10.00, Milady is glad to show her set of Skunk furs to her probably less fortunate neighbors.
The traper is the one that reaps the real benefit from this change, and the real big money is coming to him this year.
There is a great demand for these skins and we do not believe there are enough trappers left in the country to supply this demand, so it is up to the men that can follow the trap line to get busy.
The skunk is a very easy animal to trap and there are numerous methods of catching him. They are entirely too lazy to build dens of their own, so usually 'ake possession of already built dens, hollow logs, etc. When you can find their dens, it is only necessary to set your trap at the entrance baited with tainted meat of any kind, cover your trap very lightly and you will get him. Where dense booby holes are found, ginge a hole under a stump, rock or something of that kind and place your trap right in front of the entrance.
Mr. Skunk is easy to get and easy to sell at high prices, which makes him well worth while to the trapper.
THE MEN'S LIVE WIRE CLUB.
The Men's Live Wire Club met in regular order last Wednesday evening, September 11, 1918, in the Sunday school department of Mt. Olive Church. It was the second meeting of this young but thriving organization and a very large number of live wires, surcharged with a double sense of their obligations, were presided over by the dead, dull or dubious wire in the audience. Every single member sowed by the interest he took in the meeting that he was mightily alive and worked as though he was the whole cheese. Much genuine interest and wholesome enthusiasm was also evinced by each individual member in the part each one played in the roll of the organization, and the slight of mutual helpfulness glowed in every eye and illuminated every face till they show the brightess of burnished gold.
After much bushness had been dispatched and the meeting nights set, which are the second and fourth Wednesday nights in each month, the meeting adjourned with a prayer by D. R. Washington.
HON. R. E. CLAY: VISITS CITY.

STANDARD LODGE 209 K. of P. NOTES.
Tuesday night, Sept. 17, was Uatriotic night with Standard Lodge. Promptly at 8 o'clock, the members and friends began to assemble, every one seemed to have the patriotic spirit. Directly behind the C. C. Station was a large service flag in honor of the seven drafted members of Standard Lodge.
At nine thirty, o'clock, master of ceremony, G. P. Baker, ascended the rostrum and at the sound of the gavel everything was brought to order. It was a happy occasion on the one hand, while on the other it was a sad one. The congregation joined in singing the K. of P. Ode, after which Knight Thos. Morris, led in the Lords Prayer, C. C. Wm Cockell welcomed the visitors and friends Rev. Mack T. Williams in a most elaborate manner and with words that clearly echoed through the building responded. Remarks were made by Mr. John Shelby C. C. of Excelsior Lodge No. 42. Mr. Houston Elam C. C. of Fidelity Lodge No. 22. Mrs. Kate Wilson, Grand Matron of the State of Tennessee.
Master of ceremony G. P. Baker then introduced the Speaker of the evening, Mrs. Cora Jordan White, Asst Ed toriial Secretary of Nat. Bapt. Pub. Board, who held the audience spell bound. All through her speech she was interrupted by the applause that came from those who listened attentively. Every word that came from those who listened into the hearts of those who listened. After the program all were served to a delicious menu.

Roach for the successful rendition of the program. Mr. Roach has been our organist for nearly a year. The choir is very appreciative of the selections given by Mrs. Cora J. White and Prof. H. P. B. Johnson.
Rev. B. Ferris of Indianapolis, delivered an excellent sermon for the night service. Rev. Ferris pastored at Mt. Zion previous to his going to Indianapolis. Many of his old friends were present to hear the masterful pastor Aldr. gave a lawn fete at the pastor's Aid, gave a Mary More, sermon of this worthy divine. Monday night. Those who were absent missed a rare treat.
Our pastor is still out of the city on a vacation. He Writes that is having a fine time and actually getting corpulent.
Two of our soldier boys at Flak worshipped with us Sunday. We were glad to have them with us. A special invitation to them to return and bring others with them.

IN SUNNY FRANCE.
August 14, 1918.
My Dear Mother: This leaves me quite well and the weather is fine. Hope you all are well. I have written you several letters since I received the last email you in and have sent you soon. When we left Louisville we sure did go some, did not stop at any place over five minutes, and it was such an enjoyable trip. And after we had gone so far by land and railroad we pick up the great waters for ten days' ride on a ship as large as a little town. I would go out on the front deck of it and could not find my way back for an hour or more. And I stood outside and watched the beau tiful water waves, the sun. see hawks, sea gulls, whales, sharks and anything else that could be seen. And just think, as far as you could see, there was nothing but water, water, water. And I could not tell which way I was going only by the sun. Although the officers had compasses and other directive implements, and the ship would rock you to sleep and you certainly could sleep soundly.
On the ship was a big hall for singing, piano playing, moving pictures each night and brass band boxing matches, wrestling matches, sometimes between soldiers and sailors. A big canteen, cigars, groceries, candy, a place for Sunday services and the prettiest dining room you ever saw for soldiers, bath room, hot and cold water, fountain hydrant for drinking and lots of other things I could mention, but can not think of
them all. It was certainly some
ship. I like to have looked my eye
out. When we came within the
distance where we could see land, that
was the best sight of all, and we all
had seen so much water that
the ground certainly looked good. Then
some more train riding on a little
French train, looked much like a
toy train beside ours in the States,
but they are noted for speed. Anyway
my trip has averaged the distance of traveling now 4,900 miles
from Kentucky. And, dear mother,
I only hope to return to tell it to
you face to face. I can tell you some
interesting things. And, mamma, do
not worry about me. Make your life
happy. I am doing everything I can
do and am doing everything the
way, and when I know you are happy
it helps me to stay happy. Be
proud of me in France. I am proud
of being here, doing my bit for the
U. S. A.—my country.
Every boy or soldier in France is doing all he can toward winning this great war and the more interest we put into it the sooner we will win, and by that way the sooner we return. So, dear mamma, if God be my helper, and may we win, you will have a son that you can say is a great one. Give me the babies, all everybody to write me. I enjoy receiving good news from the U. S. T. Tell Laura to send me a Clarion and Globe regularly. Hope you received the French handkerchief I sent you, Laura. Della and Matt. By. By. From your most patriotic baby boy, Bunt

MANY JOBS OPEN TO WOMEN.
War Ends Prejudice Against Feminine
Workers; Question Is Only Whether
They are Available.
New vocations open to women are
reviewed by Miss Margaret Scott,
Women's Division, United States
Employment Service, Department of
Labor, who receives many queries from
girls dissatisfied with the work in
which they are engaged and from
those who desire to prepare themselfs
for service during the war. Miss Scott says:
"Opportunities offered through the Civil Service Commission include: Registrar in the Civil Service, scientific assistant, law clerk, stenographer, negative cutter, market assistant, field and laboratory assistant in plant pathology, scientific assistant in marketing, specialist in agricultural economics, freight-car record clerk, geologic aid or assistant geologist, map colorist, mural mall carrier, trained nurse clerk, laboratory assistant, biochemist, artist-draftsman, laboratory helper in soil physics, laboratory aid, curative worker, mechanical draftsman, topographical draftsman, printer, office machine operator, blue printer, expert linguist, field examiner, research agent, telegrapher, telephone operator, coder, economist, finger-print classifier. Each month new fields are opened.
"Broadly speaking I should say that a change to almost any work heretofore known as 'man's work would be excellent for a dissatisfied woman worker. The war has, or will have, depleted the supply of teachers of mathematics, assistant teachers of jects usually assigned to men. The chemistry, and teachers of other subchemical laboratory and the drug store especially invite newcomers. So do mechanical drawing and drafting of various winds—not architectural mark you, for that has been hard hit by the war, as has the newspaper and magazine publishing profession. And on good authority I am told that this condition will prevail for a year or two after peace is concluded. So don't decide to take a course in journalism at this time. Leave that and architecture to the distant future.
"Medicine and dentistry are two more professions which hold great possibilities, and in the present and near future at that, for women. Really, all a worker bent on a change of occupation need do is to read the news of the industrial and professional preparations for war and keeping in mind her own natural bent and her qualification, to take care of women, make her own selection of a new nature or profession and proceed to qualify in it gradually, slowly, but surely, or intensively, as her circumstances permit.
"One of the most recent avenues opened to women is that of optical-glass workers. Until the war started this country obtained most of its optical instruments from Germany. But the optical-glass problem has been solved, except for skilled workers. To meet the shortage the Ordance Department of the Army has established in Rochester, N. Y., a training school for operators on precision optics. A living wage will be paid during the six weeks' course, on the completion of which the student will be able to enter one of the optical munition factories. The women who has long to be a welfare or social-service worker has a greater chance than ever before of finding employment. Stores, factories, schools, colleges, corporations, communities, cities, counties, states, the Nation here in America and abroad, all have need for this kind of female worker.
"A great day has dawned for the woman with a mechanical turn of mind. Now, properly and safely barbed in 'womanalls' she can run this, that and another machine or make parts of machinery and even in she could in school or office to start experienced, make a better salary than with, in some instances making a better salary than she could at the end of two decades in classroom or office. Then, too, a great day has dawned for inspectors. But there are experienced and inexperienced inspectors and the salary for the latter does not compare with that for the former."

PLAN TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS.
Pennsylvania's High Total of industrial Casualties means not only Hardship to Men but Heavy Labor Loss.
Reduction of industrial accidents, in order to make labor work without waste to win the war, is the aim of a great drive for industrial safety in Pennsylvania undertaken by the Pennsylvania Labor Safety Committee, which has received much inspiration from the work of the National Safety Council. The Department of Labor's maximum production campaign can be furthered, the men promoting the campaign believe by guarding the safety of the workmen
Fully half the accidents in Pennsylvania, as they were reported last year, might have been prevented, according to persons who have investigated the problem. Statistics show that about 3,000 were killed and 300,400 injured in that State alone in 1915. This heavy toll, which almost equals the casualty lists in France can be reduced by a full 50 per cent, thus promoting the productive power of the workingmen, it is declared. Through union meetings and in every other way possible, the workmen will be shown how they can contribute to safety in industry. The necessity of labor power in winning the case is be emphasized as a special reason for care during this critical time when maximum production is the most urgent need of the Nation. The loss of 64,700 man's labor power, even for a few days, through some preventable accident checks by that much the Government's war program, and when 300,000 accidents are taken into account it is apparent that the loss of labor power is tremendous.
"WONDER SHIP" LAUNCHED IN
38 DAYS.
Pacific Coast Workmen Make Possible New Speed Record in Building the Defiance.
California's labor power has again shown its mattle in the remarkable time made in the building of the Defiance, the wonder ship of the world," which was one of four 12,000 ten cargo carriers launched in the Alameda yards in one day. The Department of Labor finds that many records are going in this war.
It was just 38 days from the time the keel was started until the vessel was launched. These 38 days included Sundays and holidays. The Defiance was built by the Bethlehem Skipbuilding Corporation.
The men have received much praise for their splendid effort in turning out the Defiance in so short a time. The men really surpasses the 27 days required for the building of the Tuckahoe by the New York Shipbuilding Co., according to Pacific Coast shipping men. It is estimated that about 30 per cent more steel was required for building the Defiance for making the Tuckahoe.
SPEEDING UP COAL PRODUCTION
Union Leaders Exerting Every Effort, but Believe Car Shortage and Import item.
Officials of the United Mine Worker Union are conducting questionnaires and find out just why miners are idle. They express the view that where any work is not at work it is through causes they cannot control, and they predict that the belief the naives will verify their belief. The Department of Labor considers the coal problem one of the most important that America must solve.
Frank J. Hayes, international president of the union, has made a tour in Pennsylvania, speaking to the miners to urge upon them the necessity to maximum production during the war. Now well the men are responding is a question by the fact that 13,243,000 tons of bituminous coal were mined in one week in July—almost half the amount of bituminous coal required for the New England States—and by the mining more than 2,000,000 tons in one day, several occasions this season. Production thus far is breaking all records.
words.
"The miners can flood the country with coal, if they are given proper facilities and encouragement." And Mr Hayes in an address at Mahayov "and there is no necessity for working more than eight hours."
Not only is Mr. Hayes urging the men to put forth every effort possible to increase production, but the United Mine Workers' Journal, organ of the union, exhorts them thus: "Dig! Miners, dig! Dig! dig! dig more coal; dig still more coal; the success the war depends on the coal you dig."
In view of these efforts and of the great production at the bituminous mines the union-officials feel that wherever men are able it is not their own fault.
Therefore the union officials of district 2. Pennsylvania—John Brophy, president; James Mark, vice president; and Richard Gilbert, secretary treasurer—have prepared a statement in which they call the attention of all local unions to the necessity at this time for universal productive effort, and request prompt response to the questionnaires they are sending out.
These questionnaires ask the names of the mines, railroads serving them, companies operating them, and union organizations connected with them, the cause of idleness and number of mines that are then queried. Among causes of idleness listed are failure of railroads, to supply care, lack of timber, bad ventilation, water in the mine, roof falls, breakdowns of machinery or equipment, and differences with the forenames or reasons, including sickness, which result in the workman being sent home. West Virginia miners charge that the companies' methods of reporting on idleness are unfair to the workers.
GEATTLE WORKERS HEAVY DRINKERS.
But They Specialize in Milk, the Consumption of Which has Increased Greatly in the Last Year.
Drinking hasn't been abandoned by the Seattle Shivard workers. Neither does the habit interfere with their work on Uncle Sam's victory fleet. Every noon the thousands of workmen make a rush to the place where liquid refreshments are dispensed And how they drink milk!
A bottle of milk as a bracer doesn't sound like old times in industry, but that is what the Seattle men get nowadays, and it's just what they want.

UNION RAISES AMBULANCE
FUND.
New Haven Workers Start Subscription of $2,500 to Give Aid to Wounded Soldiers.
New Haven's Central Labor Union, not content with large contributions to the Red Cross and other war funds and with heavy subscriptions to the Liberty Loan, has started a movement, in a campaign to raise $2,500 for the purchase of an ambulance which many other bodies in organized labor are expected to duplicate.
Central Labor Union officials have personally contributed $100 to start the fund, which is being handled by the Committee commissed of James P. Plinkett, chairman; Anthony E. Martin, and Patrick F. O'Meara. Much interest, was created in New Haven by the announcement of the union's plans, and subscriptions came in at a rapid rate.
Vice President John Pierce, of the Ladies' Garment Workers' Union went to New Haven to discuss with union men of that city arrangements by which a similar drive could be made by his own organization.
POWDER WORKS DONE AHEAD
OF TIME.
Workers Complete Great Nashville War Plant Three Months in Advance of Schedule.
Another record-making feat of American labor is announced in the completion three months ahead of time, of the greatest powder works in the world—that at Nashville, Tenn.
The works will employ 23,000 hands, the equivalent of an Army corps in Civil War days, though modern military organization gives about the number of men to a division.
If the successes of the builders of the plant inspires the workman to break records, a prodigious stream of munitions will soon be on the way to France from this latest gigantic factory.
A. F. OF L. BENEFITS NEGROES
Delegate to Recent Convention of Labor Body Cites Great Improvement in Working Conditions.
G. W. Millner, a Negro, who represented about 1,000 other workers of his own race at the recent A. F. of L. convention, believes that the condition of Negro labor has profited greatly of late, principally through the aid of the American Federation of Labor. There were three other Negro delegates to the convention and their presence showed conclusively that the color line is no longer drawn in labor's ranks.
MADE GOVERNMENT HIS
BENEFICIARY.
Union Man Killed in War, Had His Insurance Policy Running to the United States.
Members of the American Flint Glass Workers' Union assembled in Memorial Hall, Toledo, were told an inspiring story of patriotic devotion by a member of their union at the unfurling of a service flag, with 886 stars representing union men in the Army.
After an introductory speech, in which John J. Qhililivan, business agent of the Toledo Central Labor Union, told of the determination of the unions to back the Government. President William P. Clarke described the death of Charles H. McCarthy, who sacrificed his own life in France for the sake of a friend.
Not only had McCarthy, a former member of the Glass Workers' Union, died heroically, but he had lived patriotically, Mr. Clarke said, for inking out $10,000 insurance when he entered the army, he asked that the sum be made payable to the United States Government.

POINTERS ON COOPERATIVE STORES.
United Mine Workers' Journal Makes Suggestions to Unions Contemplating Such Institutions.
The United Mine Workers' Journal urges that in the formation of cooperative stores by larbor organizations certain policies be keep carefully in mind—for example, the establishment and maintenance of a limited interest rate on any capital invested in the venture, and a "one man, one vote" principle as applied to matters affecting the membership, regardless of the number of shares of stock a member may own.
No goods should be sold on credit the article suggests, and no goods should be sold below market price because educational funds should be established and returned based on the amount of purchases Membership should be open to all without distinction of race, religion or color.
A staff and suitable equipment are of course, requisites for the operation of the store, and best conditions of labor should prevail. Committees or associations should form libraries and found reading rooms it is suggested.

PRESIDENT WILSON RIGHT ON
MOB-CONTROL.
Nottoway, Va.—The President, in his recent address on mob violence, calls on "the men and women of every community" to help "make an end to this disgraceful evil," which he says, "cannot live where the community does not countenance it." Nottoway demonstrated this fact so forcefully that a captured after a crime so attrocious that a lynching seemed inevitable without outside help; and the authorities wired the governor for troops. Before he could send them the leading citizens met. They wired the governor their pledge to uphold the law and secure for the the Negro a fair trial. No troops were sent; and the citizens protected the accused in jail and he was proven guilty and legally executed. Her own mob and determined men saved Nottoway from disgrace. The President is right: mob violence "cannot live where the community does not countenance it."
GEORGIA WOMEN 'PRAISE NE
GROES' WAR WORK.
Atlanta, Ga.-The Georgia Division of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense is composed of the heads of every organization of white women in the state. At their recent executive meeting in Atlanta the following resolutions were adopted. The states. The colored people of Georgia have shown an increasing consciousness of their share in the issues of this war; and "Whereas, They have responded liberally and loyally to every demand of the government of the
United States, not only in the valuable service of their men as soldiers, but along every line of production, conservation, investment and contribution:
"Therefore, Be it
"Resolved, That the Executive Board, Georgia Division Woman's Committee Council of National Defence graduates the colored people of our state upon so excellent a showing of Americanism upon the part of their race; and that this Board offers to any organizations of colored women in Georgia who may express a desire for them to the chairman, such instructions for war work among women as may come to this committee from Washington."
Atlanta, August and other cities are already co-operating with the colored women in war work; and some notable beings are being accomplished.
DILUTION OF SKILLED LABOR.
Training and Dilution Service Will Prevent Shock to Industry by Withdrawals of Skilled Workmen.
"Dilution" of skilled labor, replacing workmen who have been drawn away by demands of war with less experience. In such a way that industry will not be slowed up, is no wwel under way under the auspices of the Training and Dilution Service of the Department of Labor, recently organized with Charles T. Clayton as its head. The work of this service presumably will increase largely as the war goes on. Wherever the supply of skilled labor runs short, dilution must follow, women, for example, must be trained in mechanical processes and, when these processes have been mastered, replace men in many positions.
The service will not conflict with the work of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. It is primarily a part of the department's great war program. The need of the Emergency Fleet Corporation for labor necessitated originally a comprehensive plan for training and dilution.
Best methods of training laborers for war work, instruction to industrial plants and employees along the way in which the work is carried out, will be numbered among the functions of the service.
Forms of dilution are many, and they vary from trade to trade. Dilution means such reorganization of work that unskilled men and women may be given a large part of the work that is not undertaken by skilled labor. The service will provide publications, based on its investigations, with the aid of the Information and Education Service. These publications will be distributed through the essential industries
England's experience showed clearly the need for training workers where a large army is raised. Thus far not nearly so large a percentage has been taken for the army as in England, but investigations already undertaken have shown the need of prompt preparation. The service is similar to that established in Great Britain, where it was required to pressurize laws enforcing training policies. Manufacturers were eager to obtain the best information on training methods, and, except for rare instances of Government aid, financed the entire program themselves.
TRAINING ROOM FAULTS.
Experience of British Ministry of
Preparation, Worker for jobs.
At this time, when intensive labor is demanded in all lines of war work the Section on Industrial Training, Council of National Defense, sends out the warning, "Beware of bad training rooms." When a representative of the British ministry of munitions said a year ago that some manufacturers seem to think that they need only set up a training department and then look for miracles, he called attention to a tendency Americans will do well to avoid. Three or four cases where time has been wasted have come to notice recently in the United States. One of the manufacturers put a manual-training teacher in charge of its training room. This man persisted in teaching workers to make nail boxes and school exhibits and caused them to practice with certain tools that would never be used in actual airplane production.
"Never mind speed," he is reported
as saying. "The Government has
the money and what it wants is ac-
countable. It is not in the training, room and to conti-

(Explanation of Chart.)
Since 1913 farmers have been receiving for their wheat a gradually increasing proportion of the price paid by the consumer for bread. The amount received by the wheat grower for his contribution to the average pound has increased from less than 1½ cents per loaf in 1913 to more than 3½ cents early this year. The proportion to the whole price is shown by the relative length of the black columns of the chart.
The middle portion of each column shows what the miller received for his millin costs and profits. This has been a somewhat variable factor, but is now at the minimum (6 per

ue loafing in the factory. His successor will increase production from 20 to 40 per cent. Another director of training, to whom was intrusted much machinery, could not forget the slow methods of general technical instruction and planned to deliver monthly to the factory only 80 to 100 mechanics when there is a monthly demand for 1,000 skilled workers and 2,000 other workers, part of whom are semiskilled. A third factory with training facilities befits its training room for five weeks in which it prepares women for work, instructing them in simple operations that should require only the most casual direction for beginners.
Emphasis is now put on the fact that every training department should be developed with the needs of the employment office in mind. Officers and managers should visit training departments frequently so as to assure cooperation between the trainers and the foremen of the factories. It is an axiom that a good training room is worth 20 per cent of the pay roll.
AMERICA WILL MIGRANTS.
Bureau of Information Will Be Established in Cities Having Large Foreign Quarters to Protect Aliens.
Uncle Sam is now going to furnish information bureaus for his nephews and nieces.
Primarily, these bureaus will be for nephews and nieces by adoption, for they are intended as a part of the great scheme of Americanization now being worked out for the aliens living in America, to provide first aid for immigrants in any of the thousand and one crises of life in a strange land.
It is unfortunately true that a feeling has prevailed among certain classes in the past that immigrants exists solely to be exploited and deceived. The ignorance of American so general among those in foreign quarters, their tendency to trust strangers, and the realities of sharper to prey upon them, all combine to make their lot anything but pleasant until they have learned through long and costly experience.
Some of the immigrants have relatives living in America and probably most of them have friends here; large numbers are aided by such organizations as the Hebrew Sheltering Aid Association and others with the same aims. But with all that friends and charity can do, the immigrant at times has a hard time in America, and to save him some of the more painful and expensive experiences the United States Government is establishing bureau throughout the country where the worst of his troubles can be settled. In many stores of shady reputation it is the regular practice to overcharge the immigrant. Lawyers of the shyster class charge him exorbitant fees for little or no service; he is often taken him wherever possible. Fly-by-night bankers' open establishments in former quarters, where they offer to send remittances home to the families of men working here. Some of them never send anything back at all; large numbers charge from twice to ten times what the service would cost to go if the immigrant knew where to go.
Even in the event of sickness and death the immigrant is exploited, if he is so unfortunate as to find an unscrupulous physician or undertaker. It is too often the rule that nativeborn citizens pay little attention to

the desires and needs of the immigrant, and the consequence is that he frequently becomes much disappointed with his career in America. To remedy this whole situation is the aim of the Commissioner of Naturalization whose bureau is a part of the Department of Labor. To show Americans their responsibility to the foreign born, and to show immigrants how they can become not only Americans in legal form but thoroughly imbued with the spirit of Americanism, is the aim of the information service planned for the various cities. Posters, moving pictures, the press, in fact every avenue through which the immigrant can be approached will be familiar to reach He will be taught, in his own language and in English alike, that the United States wants to help him; that he has only to make his wants known to he assured of aid.
The information offices will help immigrants in bringing their families to America, in recovering money of which they are robbed through fraud, and in other ways assisting to make life in America pleasant and profitable. Immigrants will be courageous to navigate situations whenever they are in doubt about their course of conduct or when emergencies arise.
MEXICO TO FURNISH FARM
HELP.
Labor Supplies Also Available in Porto Rico and the Bahamas for Agriculture Next Season.
Next season's farm labor supply is likely to be largely augmented by workers from the West Indies and Mexico.
The constant demands of war industries in the years before and after America entered the war, and the operation of the draft, have steadily drawn young men away from the farms. To compensate for this, the labor of boys and of men ordinarily past the age for active service came into general use and in dairy and truck farming it was found that strong women could do effective work.
For maximum production, however, every effort is being made to draw upon the most readily available labor surplus—that of neighboring countries to the South. To do that the Government has already taken action.
Mexico, weakened and impovished by years of revolution, has 4,000-000 able bledon laborers, it is estimated, who will be most useful in augmenting the forces of common labor on the railroads and on the farms. The Department of Labor now permits Mexicans to enter the country by any of the Gulf ports and also by Atlantic ports as far north as Charleston. The Bahamas also provide a source of common labor. The war has practically ruined normal industries in the Bahamas by the havoc it wrought in the carrying trade, and, moreover, the laborers there are with easy reach. It is brought that large numbers can be brought to America to work on the farms. Porto Rican laborers are also eager to work in America, where wages are higher and working conditions better than on the island.
Many of these workers will be particularly valuable, for they have a knowledge of sugar-cane handling that makes their utilization certain.
The closest cooperative community effort, the most equitable distribution of farm labor within States the whole-hearted effort of farmers to "break in" new hands, and the importation of as much of the foreign labor as possible will be needed to maintain a farm labor supply commensurate with the increased production demanded for 1919.
TO AID RETURNED SOLDIERS.
Federal Board for Vocational Education Will Enable Them to Get Jobs Where They Can Support Themselves.
The Federal Board for Vocational Education has been organized as a means of equipping wounded and otherwise disabled soldiers to return to the ranks of industry. David F. Houston, Secretary of Agriculture, is chairman of the board, and other members include William G. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce; and William B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor. James P. Monroe, of Boston is vice chairman of the board, and the other members are P. P. Clayton, Commissioner of Education; Charles A. Greathouse, and Arthur B. Holder.
The board aims to fit men for a variety of trades and to give them an opportunity, after their training, to enter the ranks of skilled labor. Lack of funds will not prevent the men from obtaining the training they need, for they will receive family allowances and compensation from the War Risk Insurance Bureau the same as during their military service.
When the men are equipped to earn a living they will be assisted in finding jobs. The office of the board it at 601 E Street N. W., Washington. The inquiry office, Information and Education Service, Department of Labor, is cooperating in the work.
UNCLE SAM BECOMES ^N EDUCATOR.
Government Has. Established Employment Management Course on Large Scale as a War Measure.
Authorized by Employment Management Division of the War Industries Board, Wm. C. Lengel, publicity director.
The Government has found it necessary to enter the field of education on a large scale. War Emergency courses in employment management, conducted by the employment management division of the War Industries Board, under the auspices of five governmental departments, have been arranged for in nine universities to date. The outline of the courses of study was made by Capt. Boyd Fisher, who has general supervision of the war Capt. Fisher has joined from the east, in the inaugurated courses in the Universities of California and Washington. These courses in employment management are designed to train men or women who already have a basic experience of at least three years in industrial life and factory methods and who have come in ac-
TO GROW LONG, STRAIGHT HAIR
You Need a Real Scalp Food.
There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Beeby'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 expert hair care and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired.
To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinaseap. Quinaseap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. It leaves the hair soft and fatty and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinaseap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each.

tual contact with shop problems. Employers of labor, particularly those having war contracts, are urged to suggest men or women from their own organizations as candidates for these courses. With the increasing tightening of the labor situation, it is absolutely essential that large plants have an efficient central employment department. If the Government is to take upon the labor when called upon, it is necessary that that labor be employed in the proper manner. In other words, each man should be hired to do the thing he is best fitted to do. In these days every man must count and there must be no square pegs in round holes. It has been thoroughly proved that an experienced employment manager, in charge or his hiring and firing, comes very near to solving the labor problem. There is a huge up to the employee's his own order and make the best use of the men with which he is supplied.
The introduction of the employment manager into industry and the standardization of the services of an employment department is acknowledged to be one of the greatest movements now taking place in the manufacturing industry of this country. Courses have been arranged for at Harvard in connection with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Boston University, in Boston; Columbia University, New York; University of Rochester, Rochester, N. Y.; Carnegie Institute of Technology, and the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa., University of Washington, Seattle; and the University of California, at Berkeley.
There already have been 172 graduates from the classes conducted thus far. Most of these have returned to their own plants and placed in operation a department of employment. In each case where a central employment department exists there is never a thought of returning to the old-fashioned hit-miss method of hiring men.
The courses of instruction in the various schools run from six weeks to two months, and the classes are conducted by the foremost authorities in the country on the various subjects covered.
The course of study deals chiefly with the problems of employment management. Brief consideration is given, however, to statistics, labor economics, and business organization and management. The materials presented on the subject of employment management covers the organization and equipment of an employment department, the employing of workers, the training of the workers, the payment of the workers, the control of working conditions, efforts to keep the work up to the standard, and the government of the shop. We are also the course, except the outlay for living expenses of students and about $15 for books and supplies. It has been arranged to begin new classes as soon as each previous class is graduated, so application for admission to the courses in any of the above-named schools may be made at any time.
Employers of labor having candidates for admission to the classes and individual applicants will be furnished with necessary information concerning qualifications fd admission and other data regarding the courses by addressing Capt. Boyd Fisher, 717 Thirteenth Street N. W., Washington, D. C.

FIRST NEGRO WAR CORRESPON
DENT AND LIBERIAN LOAN.
Two Notable Additions to the Big Achievements to Credit of Recent Conference of Colored Editors at Washington.
Balph W. Tyler Named to Report Military Happenings on Western Front in France—United States Agrees to Loan $5,000,000 to Aid Republic of Libera.
Washington, D. C., September 16.—Two notable additions have been made with the past few days to the list of big achievements that may be recent conference of colored editors justly credited to the influence of the and leaders in Washington.
One of the direct requests of the Editors' Conference in June was that a reliable colored news-writer be sent to France to report the doings of the colored troops on the Western Front in France for the information of the anxious millions of colored Americans in this country and to the end that the correct story of the valor and patriotic devotion of their brethren might be told fully and in a sympathetic vein by one of their own blood and kindred.
In compliance with this request, the Committee on Public Information has designated Ralp W. Tyler, of Columbus, Ohio, former Auditor for the Navy Department at Washington, as a regularly-commissioned war correspondent, to specialize on the conditions surrounding the colored troops in France and to make daily reports
of the activities and engagements in nent. He will be on the staff of General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. Every facility has been provided by Mr. George Creel, director of the Committee on Public Information, for the prompt and accurate gathering of all facts that may be of interest to the colored people.
FIRST NEGRO TO BE NAMED AS
WAR CORRESPONDENT.
Mr. Tylier is the first colored man to be named as a regular war correspondent by any Government in the world. He is a native of Ohio. For seventeen years he served in various departments of the Columbus Evening Dispatch and the Ohio State Journal, which gave him experience in the technique of the newspaper craft and afforded him opportunity for association with many influential newspaper men. This intimate contact with such forces will be invaluable him in labors as a war correspondent. The fact that the correspondent has a wide acquaintance, with the students now at the front, will make it possible for him to get news concerning colored troops which perhaps, no other colored correspondent could secure.
The claims of a number of men were fully considered in connection with this important assignment, but Mr. Tyler was finally selected as the most efficient of those available. Immediately after the war was declared, he was placed on Germany, Mr. Tyler wrote the Papers and handled his services in any capacity. He has three sons, all of whom are at the front in France.
$5,000,000 LOAN TO LIBERIAN REPUBLIC.
The second of this series of editorial conference achievements is the authorization by the Government of a loan of $5,000,000 to the Republic of Liberia, in line with the request of the Conference. This fund is allotted to aid in the rehabilitation of that country's public finances, which have been reduced to a dangerously low ebb by the cessation of trade and to develop production of rice and greatly-noded maize for the allies, as well greatly-noded products with which as to place on the market the little overseas republic abounds. Much of Liberia's commerce with Germany, and this has been totally cut off since the former's declaration of war against the Teutons.
The granting of this $5,000,000 credit through the United States Treasury had its inception several months ago when Dr. Ernest Lyons, the Liberian Consul-General, made application on behalf of his Government for same, and was helped forward quite perceptibly by a meeting at the White House later, when a committee laid before the President the peculiar needs of Liberia and made plain the faithfulness of her people to the cause of the allies, emphasizing the fact that Liberia is the natural ward of this powerful Government and that its welfare must be safeguarded by America in her hour of peril.
The members of the committee, who joined in the appeal to the President were Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of the famous Tuskegee Institute, Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Institute, now serving as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War; Dr. Ernest Lyon, former United States Minister to Liberia and now Liberian Consul-General in this country; James H. Dillard, of the Saker and James H. Boardes; Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, of the United States Bureau of Education; and Hon. William H. Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States.
AFTER THE WAR—WHAT?
Washington, D. C.—Republican leaders here are examining a remarkable statement just issued by Senator Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois, from Paris, where he is on a government mission. Some people, used to take Senator Lewis lightly. However, as the Democratic leader in the Senate, he has been steadily increasing his importance as a spokesman for the Democratic party, and on more than one occasion during the last congress he has appeared on the floor of the Senate as the mouthpiece of the Administration. The Republican leaders who know his adroitiness, his persistence, and his very extraordinary ability to twist facts and arguments words as forces with which it is well to reckon.
Senator Lewis's predictions may be summarized as follows:
1. The tariff will disappear as a party issue.
2. The big issue of the next campaign will be the question of government ownership.
3. Another big issue between the Democrats and Republicans in the coming campaign will be over foreign policy. Dilating on what he professes will be the Democratic attitude on foreign policy, he devotes considerable time to explaining the racial origins of Americans and to suggesting that our future policy will be dictated by these origins.
4. The farmers will be heard from more than ever in the next campaign. They will tell us "that their profits have been limited and their business regulated during the war, while other farmers being getting rich without restraint because of the war."
5. And, lastly, he thinks the war to be over before the next presidential contest, which he thinks will automatically eliminate the question of the third term.
ere is a fairly definite outline of the Democratic program for the immediate future. On two points Republican leaders would probably agree with Senator Lewis. One is that the war will be over efore the next presidential campaign, for the "Win the War Now" policy, Republicans have dedicated themselves completely. The other is that the farmers will be heard from; they ought to be heard from, and the Republicans are already framing effective measures to relieve their present distress.
The Republican party's attitude toward the tariff has been made very clear and Republican leaders here predict that if the Democrats have any idea that this issue will cease to be agitated in the next campaign they are destined to find out how much mistaken they are.
As to politicalization of public utilities, the Republicans have already declared themselves in opposition to the Democratic views. They are taking a farseeing stand. They declare: "that while there is absolutely nothing in this country which should not
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 1918
be taken and used for necessary war purposes, such taking shall be for war purpose only and that in such action there must be no eventual ulterior object. The Republican party, from its inception, has stood against undue federalization of industries and have, still shall endeavor to find the muddle ground well defined between the "anarchy of unregulated individualism and the deadening formalism of inefficient and widespread state ownership." That the Democrats, as Senator Lewis predicts, are going to espouse the cause of complete and permanent political ownership of the state, doubt, although they have cautiously, if not clandestinely, concealed their policies under a cloak of what they call "war necessity."
In the Republican view, measures of government control adopted for war reasons, as a temporary necessity or as in the case of the telephone and telegraph lines, as an assumed necessity, must not become permanent. Though the Democrats should favor this absolute re-making of the Government, as it is quite apparent they intend that the Republicans shall imperatively approve the new Lewis, in his usual iniminating manner indicates that this state socialism is to become a lasting and ever-swelling Democratic policy.
In reply, the Republican leaders here declare that the voters of America will have no doubt which party to support when they once realize the Democratic enception of a meddling monstrous, all swallowing state. All Americans, Republicans and Democrats alike, are willing, in these troublesome times, to put up with almost anything for the sake of war, the efficiency whatever may be the cost or the consequence, even though the efficiency is relative and not absolute, but once peace has been returned again, this Democratic mirage will collapse like a Bolshevki dream.
As for Senator Lewis's equivocal suggestion of some devious and complex foreign policy that may be adopted, based upon the consideration of any single European race or group of European races, or even of Asiatic issue of the future as clearly as they race, the Republican leaders see this any American force. They declare that any American force will be based upon one consideration that there is no such thing as any kind of a hyphenated American, no matter what his origin, remote or near; that there is just one America, run by and for Americans. In other words, the Republican are determined that the United States has heard for the last time all talk of this country being a branch or continuation of any other. In their vision, this nation is and must con-
To meet the just grievances now being endured by a host of farmers under the inequalities and favoritism of the present Democratic regime the Republican policy will not be the bane and indefinite one of dangerous politicalization of industry now being instituted by the party in power and which has resulted in the suppression of the producer and in the elevation of the profiteering midliteran.
Answering this crying need of legislation affecting farm products the Republicans, in contra-distinction to the Democrats, will adopt constructive policies whose purpose shall be to enhance and reward individual effort, without enriching any set of favorites under the guise of government contr.1.
In making plans for the future, whether these be an outline of policies or an accurate definition of legislative intent, all of the Democrats are just as hazy as many of them are on their war records. While Senator Lewis has spoken more freely than have the other Democratic leaders, he does not pin himself down to accurate statements or a definite outline of issues, but only suggests with an insinuation that is both Lewisonian and Democratic. However, it is believed that this statement, Senator Lewis does sketch the principal line of action that probably will be taken by the Democrats in the near future. It can be expected that they will try to evade the tariff issue, and to "slip over" some free trade formula in the general confusion of peace reconstruction.
It is to be taken for granted, as Senator Lewis indicates, that the Democrats will champion complete political control of all public utilities. Although expressly committing themselves, at the time of the passage of the present war laws, to the reconstitution of the undoubted fact that they were accepted entirely as temporary measures, and that the distinct promise was made to the people that the great carriers and industries would be returned to their several owners and managers on the conclusion of peace. It is no longer doubted by Realtors that the carriers have no intention of keeping faith with these promises. If the voters will permit them, they plan to develop the growing bureaucracy into a veritable industrial serfdom.
Republican leaders, unlike the Democrats do not hesitate to declare themselves unequivocally on these vital issues. They do not seek to conceal their plans from the voters at large. They are working on the theory that they have given pledges which they must keep, and that it is their business to make pledges for the president, which they kept. For the present their chief slogan is "Win the War Now," but they do not forget other perils which the nation faces. These are certain to increase unless Democratic doubt and dogma are cured by Republican speed and certainty.—Exchange.
PLEDGED TO HELP DO. WAR
WORK.
In response to an invitation from Dr. Hibbett, the active and efficient chief of the Health Department of the city; a representative gathering of the Negro leaders assembled at the Y. M. C. A. Monday night and formed the "Rock City Health Association" pledged to help the War Department wipe out Venereal Diseases. The War Department was represented by Dr. C. V. Roman, the noted specialist, who is here from Washington for a short time and Capt. Devaney, who is here from the Government Department. The meeting was called to order by Dr. Hibbett who impressed the seriousness of the situation and what the Government expected the leading citizens to do. He introduced Capt. Devereaux who outfitted the work and mapped out plans for a campaign.
Dr. Roman was called and he made an elaborate, extensive and interesting report of his work, what the Government had called upon him to do and what the Government expected the race to do at his suggestion. He astounded his hearers when he admitted to them certain facts and statistics anent the dangers of venereal diseases, how they are communicated to the innocent, and what terrible results have followed. The enthusiasm ran high and resulted in a permanent organization with Dr. J. P. Crawford President, and A. N. Johnson, Secretary.
It was unanimously decided to hold the initial meeting this Sunday afternoon, September 22nd, at the Bijou Theatre, three o'clock p.m., where Dr. Roman will deliver the principal address to the men of the city. A committee was appointed to advertise the meeting at the theatres during the week and requested the ministers to announce from their churches Sunday morning. No ladies are expected at the Sunday meeting, but future meetings will be held where they will be to themselves and get the message.
Prominent among those present and participating were Dr. Stewart, Fisher, McMillan, Love, Lester, Forde Taylor, Elliott, Martin: Revs. Ellington and Taylor: Presidents Hale and Page, Prof. T. B. Hardman and Miss. Lamb, the nurse.
After tendering Dr. Hibbett and Cant. Devereaux a vote of thanks the meeting closed subject to the call of the chairman, Dr. Crawford.
HELPING HAND SOCIETY.
The Helping Hand Society is a new organization among our people, whose object is designed to do much good and remedy a condition which has needed attention for a long time. Among our people many of our sacred dead have been laid away a Mt. Ararat Cemetery for quite half of a century. Some whose work show for good influence in this, extending through generations, and their last resting place has been sadly neglected. Every civilized people on earth care for the city of the dead to a more appreciable extent than do our people. Those who have nourished us in childhood and those who have let us in church and fraternal homes have cared for us, are carried to the churches, and amidst great weeping, lamentations, resolutions and oratory we are carried to the city of the dead and left there where weeds obliterate our last resting place, and in most cases only wild dales' adorn the spot and no more, where we have laid our loved do we go until another joins the mighty caravan.
These ladies called on the trustees of Mt. Ararat at their last meeting and were joyfully received. They said they wanted a day designated as "Clean-up-Day" when all who have their dead burial will go and clean off the graves and lots. They selected Monday, September, 30, 1918 the last day in the month, and asked that the Globe give notice to all its readers who have any dead burial there to come and beautify their last resting place. The Board made them a nice donation which was happily received, after they had read a splen did petition signed by many of the substantial women of the city. Those seemingly leading the movement are Mesdames Strong, Tate, Carter Hightower and Carrington. The Board appointed H. A. N. Johnson, Mr. Reuben Hill and G. Fossile to make necessary improvements and co-operate with the Helping Hand.
SECRETARY H. A. BOYD KEEPS
ON THE GO.
During the past month a number of flying trips have been made by the Secretary of the Sunday School Congress, Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, who, while the Congress has not been on, has been spending much of his time in making war speeches and addresses.
At Camp Pike and Fort Root during in the session of the National Baptist Convention about six thousand soldiers heard the Rev. Mr. Boyd in a patriotic address which was filled with splendid thought and matter for the soldier boys to carry with them over there, which is calculated to give them sufficient courage and moral strength to go over the top wherever they hit the line. Rev. Mr. Boyd is one of the one hundred war speakers appointed by the present administration to serve in any capacity called upon. He has just returned from a swing around the circuit, and it is understood that he is preparing now to visit Camp McClellan down in Anniston, Ala, and from there to Camp Sherman in Ohio.
"We are going to win this war by the force of courage and the stamina that our soldier boys are putting into the fight. I have not visited a camp yet but that I find the boys filled with self-dependence and reliance, which is the only thing that will make the 100 per cent American. The Negro soldier is holding his own not only, "over there" but "over here. There is not a cantonment that I have visited but that I have found on the whole the highest mark of intelligence with the soldier boys. They know no fear. Their courage is always shown even when they are called upon to do small duties they are responding to loyal protection and to loyal protection that great religious influence and real fervor, religious fervor, I mean, have been put into the camps and that our boys take to the religious training and they couple it with the patriotic duty that rests upon each of them. What is most pleasing is the entire absence of the spirit to slack among our folks," declared the Rev. Mr. Boyd, who, in the face of his many obligations and much denominational work has co-operated along many Ives not only in this but in the liberty bono drive and our war savings campaign.
It was only this week at a big meeting in St. Louis, that he assisted the citizens of St. Louis in their efforts to once more put St. Louis in the hands of the city by their efforts in the fourth liberty loan that is to be inaugurated.
Miss Carrington, Executive Secretary, reports most satisfactory progress in the work which a class of colored women in Nashville are doing. These women whose number is five or more have finished a course of instruction which enables them to be of real and most valuable service to families of

colored soldiers who are at the front or in the training camps. Their duties are conscientiously performed with a satisfying understanding of the needs of those they serve and with a friendliness and sympathy which proves them worth while the training given them. These women keep in touch with Miss Carrington, to whom they go for advice. At a consultation meeting each two weeks, additional instruction is given, many of which handle the many that come to them. It is a matter for pride that the colored women of Nashville are following in such worthy ways the things this war is teaching all of us and are learning to be so genuinely helpful to those of their own race who need their kindness now.
All your soldiers love music and in their rest minutes nothing gives them more pleasure than to be able to make it for themselves. The horrors of battle, the tedium of waiting for active service, convalescent days and many otherwise dull minutes can be turned into gayety and comparative happiness if these boys are given the means of "making music" for themselves. So if you have or can get guitars, banjos or mouth organs, new or second hand ones in good order, send them along right away. They are badly wanted, so go to work and see if by just a little work on your part you cannot get to be least one unwilling to hit baggage, to the days of some soldier. Pack carefully and wrap securely, then address to Southern Division American Red Cross, Atlanta, Ga., and ship on at once.
