PATRIOTISM IS PREVALENT Bishop Parks and Other Speakers Stress Loyal Support of Government in All War Measures; Oppose Undemocratic Discrimination. THE Kansas conference has passed into history and there were many good impressions made by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D. D., and the ministers, and much good will result from the meeting. Almost every address and sermon delivered during the session had the ring of patriotism and loyalty, and the conference went on record as giving unqualified support to President Wilson and the army. In his address Bishop Parks urged the people to put their money in Liberty bonds, in war savings stamps, Red Cross and any other place where the government needed it. The conservation of food was urged by him. "Our women must put less money in fine dresses, shoes and the like, and let the government use that money, for it is needed in winning the war, and if the government loses, which it is not going to do, there would be but little use for fine clothes. This is not the white man's war, the black man's war, or any other one man's war, but it is a war for all America and all Americans are going to unite and win it. That we are going to win there is no doubt, but it will require time, money and the effort of us all. Bishop Parks said: "I am proud that I am an American and living in the greatest age in the history of the world. Certainly this is a great age. God has in store great things for us, and we are now getting to the place where the world will recognize us for who we are and for what we are. No time in the history of our country were Colored men placed on terms of equality in the army before now. We are in every department and have over a thousand commissioned officers and it does not yet appear what it shall be. "President Wilson has spoken out against lynching as no other president has ever done. He has given to the nation some thought. He will ever live in the hearts of the American people. We are going to follow him." Friday night was termed educational night for the conference. The annual educational sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. H. Milton Mickens of Salina, and following the sermon the people, headed by the ministers, put on the table for education $491.20. The question asked, "Are all the preachers blameless in life and conversation?" brought before the conference the religious, moral and official character of each minister for scrutiny. All were able to pass without a single black mark. After a contest between Kansas City, Kan., and Parsons, Kan., Kansas City was selected for the next annual session. All of Saturday morning was spent in executive session. It was said that many knotty problems were worked out by the ministers. This was the closing business of the session. All committees reported. One of the strongest documents ever presented before the conference was the report of the committee on the state of the country. The report was read by Dr. J. R. Ransom, the recognized leader of the conference and a man of magnetic power. The report made a review of war conditions. It THE MONITOR told about the patriotic service rendered by the Negroes in France and commended their efforts. This document was full of information and showed that Dr. Ransom had spent some time in collecting information. Words of praise came for President Wilson. Secretaries Baker and McAdoo. The conference, while breathing a spirit of the highest patriotism, nevertheless put itself on record as opposing segregation, Jim crow cars and other undemocratic practices which are inconsistent with America's ideals. Saturday closed with a lecture by Charles Stewart, A. M., D. D., of Chicago. Sunday was a busy day and at the close Sunday night Bishop Parks assigned the ministers. The conference was attended by many of the leading women of Kansas and Nebraska, and at their meeting Friday afternoon some able addresses were delivered. Mrs. H. B. Parks spoke on "The Growth of the Home." She said that one of the greatest uplifts to the human family was the home—the place where boys and girls were developed into manhood and womanhood. Mrs. J, C. C. Owens of Kansas City, Kan., who has been in the conference for the past twenty ye rs or more, was a great help to the young women of her race. Mrs. Owens has been connected with the work of uplift for many years. She worked with her husband in Missouri, Colorado and Kansas. She is known in many homes. Dr. Owens is one of the few men who has been able to come back. He went to Quindaro in 1872 and returned in 1918. He organized the work in Quindaro and now he comes back and brings from that place the largest report in its history. He brought $115. Bishop Demby Will Be Consecrated Sunday ImmPRESSIVE Service Will Be Held in All Saints' Church Before a Congregation Numbering 1,000. (Special to The Monitor.) ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 28.—Preparations have been completed for the impressive consecration service by which the Venerable Edward Thomas Demby will be made a bishop in that long line of prelates of the Anglican communion which reaches back to the time of the establishment of the church in Britain. The service will be held in All Saints' church, this city, Sunday morning, September 29, the Festival of St. Michael and All Angels, Peculiar interest attaches to this service, because it will be the first time that the Episcopal church will have consecrated a Colored man as bishop for work in the United States. Dr. Demby will be consecrated bishop suffragan of Arkansas. The congregation of All Saints' church have planned to accommodate at least 1,000 people. A monster missionary mass meeting is to be held in the afternoon at 5 o'clock, at which Bishop Demby and others will speak and an offering taken for missionary work in Arkansas. The consecration service was first appointed for August 24, but it was deemed advisable to postpone it until this later date. In its entire history the Episcopal church has had only two Negro bishops—one was consecrated in 1885 for Liberia, and the other in 1874 for Haiti. Both are now dead and Bishop Demby will be the first of a line of American Negro bishops in charge of work among American Negroes. A full report of the consecration service, with illustrations, will be published in next week's Monitor. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 28, 1918 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA STANDS FOR TRUE DEMOCRACY. WHAT KIND OF DEMOCRACY DO THEY STAND FOR WHO COMPEL THIS INSTITUTION TO VIOLATE THIS PRINCIPLE? The Students' Army Training Corps, generally abbreviated "S. A. T. C.," is a military unit of the national army composed of university students from the ages of 18 to 21, who registered September 12. The government pays all the student's expenses and provides him with a salary of $30 a month. At the end of three months the students are assigned for such other work or training as their efficiency warrants. Joseph B. LaCour and Sandford Fallings, university students, enrolled.

Captain Zillman's telegram was in response to an inquiry addressed to him by Commandant McIvor of our S. A. T. C. unit, as to the admission of Colored applicants. The telegram is in these words, "Not in a white unit." There is, of course, no distinctively Colored unit possible in this institution. My information is that there are seven Colored applicants. I do not myself personally know of so many. The policy of this institution has always been to regard its privileges as public and designed for all citizens of whatever color or ancestry. So far as I know, there has been no difficulty in the application of such a rule, and the Colored students have been uniformly a credit to the institution in their characters, bearing and progress. The only authority, however, which the university has in this matter is that which is derived from the War Department at Washington.

I know of no reason for anticipating any more trouble with Colored members in conjunction with their white fellows in our S. A. T.

Campaign Against Venereal Diseases Campaign Against Venereal Diseases Prominent Physicians and Surgeons Appointed by War Department in Educational Campaign to Safeguard Health of Soldiers. Washington, D. C., Sept. 25.—An announcement is made that a group of prominent Colored physicians and surgeons have been appointed by the war department to carry on a vigorous campaign of education, with a view of combatting the spread of venereal diseases in the camps and cantonments of the country, where Colored soldiers are stationed in appreciable numbers. The physicians thus far selected for this vitally important work include: Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville. Tenn., formerly editor of the Journal of the National Medical association and author of numerous literary and medical productions; Dr. Algernon B.

The work of these physicians is to be supplemented by literature which has been prepared to meet the special needs of Colored troops. This is now in press, and a pamphlet covering these subjects simply but thoroughly will be put into the hands of every Colored soldier in the army who is able to read. It is hoped to reach those who cannot read by specially prepared pictorial placards and stereopticon slides. The last mentioned work will be largely in the hands of a group of Colored sergeants' who are peculiarly adapted by education and training for this work.

War Correspondent For France Two Notable Additions to the Big Achievements to Credit of Recent Conference of Colored Editors at Washington. NEWS_FROM THE BATTLE FRONT Ralph W. Tyler Named to Report Military Happenings on Western Front in France—United States Agrees to Loan $5,000,000 to Aid Republic of Liberia. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Two notable additions have been made within the past few days to the list of big achievements that may be justly credited to the influence of the recent conference of Colored editors and leaders in Washington. One of the direct requests of the editor's 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 Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus, O.. former auditor for the navy department at Washington, as a regularly commissioned war correspondent, to make daily reports of the activities and engagements in which the Colored soldiers are prominent. He will be on the staliff 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. Mr. Tyler 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 on 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 to him in his labors as a war correspondent. The fact that he has a wide acquaintance with correspondents 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 war was declared by the United States on Germany, Mr. Tyler wrote the president tendering h's 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 Libeira, 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 other foodstuffs for the allies, as well as to place on the market many of the greatly needed products with which the little overseas republic abounds. Much of Liberia's commerce was 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 Lyon, 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, emphasising 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; Dr. James H. Dillard, of the Slater and Jeanes fund boards; Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, of the United States bureau of education; and Hon. William H. Lewis, former assistant attorney general of the United States. German Defeat Due to Colored Troops Amsterdam, Sept. 25.—General von Risberg addressed the main committee of the reichstag on behalf of the minister of war. He explained, according to a telegram from Berlin, that the failure of the German offensive on the western front was due to the failure of the German army to surprise the entente allies and the necessity of assuming the defensive on the arrival of the English home army in the theater of war; to the employment of Colored troops and to the intervention of American divisions. Referring to the entente allies' attack on the Marne salient, General von Risberg said the withdrawal of the German troops was necessary "for strategical reasons and was completely successful." "Thus the first offensive of the enemy," he added, "brought him a tactical success, but considered in the light of his great strategical aims it can be regarded as not having succeeded." General von Risberg described the British victory between the Ancre and the Avre rivers as a "great success due to the massed employment of tanks and surprise under the protection of their fire." The withdrawal to the Hindenburg line, the general said, was due to a "lack of well consolidated positions." Orkin Brothers 2 The Seeress of the Arkansas Hills The Seeress of the Arkansas Hills By Fred C. Williams. The history of Casandra, the false prophetess, is told by the Greek mythologist, H. Rider Haggard made famous in fiction his widely read "She." In later days the English writers tell of the famous writer, Madam de Thebes, whose prophecies some years ago concerning the present war attracted much attention. Madam Paledini of Italy, who was introduced into American scientific circles, puzzled our greatest professors and excited the general populace who read of the wonderful exploits of this peculiarly endowed woman. I have mentioned these great women, who are so generally known to the reading public, because I wish to tell you of another woman who lives among the hills of Arkansas, whose name is a household word in almost every home of both races in the states adjoining Arkansas on every side. She is 107 years old; was born in 1801 in the state of Virginia; migrated with her master to Jackson county, Arkansas, when about 8, and at no time since her arrival has she left the confines of the county, in which she now resides, from the time of her arrival. She was always considered a peculiar child because she spoke of things of which neither her master nor her parents had any immediate knowledge. She cannot read nor write, and until the emancipation proclamation, which made her free, had never married. She selected a farmer by the name of Mart Dye, and they were married. To them came no children, but she has raised and educated twenty-four nieces and nephews. She has accumulated much property in the little town of Newport, Ark., where she resides, and the city profits much by her residence there. People come from all quarters of the country to consult this wonderful woman, who gives sage advice in business, political, judicial and marital troubles. She is oftimes quoted by the ignorant as being endowed with supernatural or voodoo power, a fact which she readily disclaims. When I visited her, seated in the backyard of her modest cottage under a large grape arbor, which at the same time offered a shady and secluded retreat, I found her taking her callers, who were many, in her slow and easy, yet friendly, fashion; conversing with them easily, though many were people from the higher walks of life—bankers, business men, society leaders and others from that class down to the poor, penniless mendicant, who, like all others, had followed the roads that led to this promised Mecca of relief. Most of the time her clientele is so numerous that it is not possible to receive a hearing for several days, therefore the rooming houses and hotel profit by the visitors to this prophetess. She seems to satisfy each and every one. She charges no fee, accepting gifts of any amount, large or NEW YORK small, that are offered by the person to whom she points out a safer and better road to future happiness and prosperity. To the poor and afflicted she gives freely and refuses anything that they may offer in token of the benefits they may have received at her hands. She is always kindly, and to those who have interviewed her she is considered wonderful, especially in locating lost friends or stolen articles. Her advice along business lines has proven its value by the success of numerous business men, bankers and speculators, who never undertake any venture without consulting this great woman. When I was at last allowed to come into her presence I saw seated upon a low divan, behind a small table, a woman of dark complexion, large of frame, heavy with flesh, with a large, well moulded head surmounting her broad shoulders, topped by a heavy mass of snow white hair; her forehead was high, her nose was broad yet not flat, her mouth was firm and lips full set; her chin, well rounded, showed the fullness and strength of her jaws. Her eyes were the most attractive point about her; they were small, of no particular color and seemed always to be looking away beyond into the hazy distance, seemingly searching out the unknown in the regions of which we read, but to the human eye is not visible. As I stated the purpose of my visit: The Monitor, the paper I represented, wished to give to the world the picture and history of this woman of our race who was doing such great things, she slowly shook her head, and in deep and distinct tones which age had not yet affected, said: "I have no message for the world. I do not wish to be advertised. I am simply doing my duty serving humanity, which in their hurry and scurry through life have tangled the skeins of destiny and wish only to be known to you and all the world as simple Caroline Dye." IN APPRECIATION United States Food Administration Washington, D. C. September 18, 1918. Rev. John A. Williams, Editor The Monitor, 1119 North Twenty-first St., Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Sir: We deeply appreciate the copy of The Monitor that has just reached us, in which you made generous use of our August plate matter. Conservation of foods and elimination of wastes are important war tasks of the American people; and we are depending on papers like The Monitor for assistance in getting this information to the public, which once informed of a situation can be depended upon to act for the best interests of this nation. Thanks again for your co-operation. Faithfully yours, U. S. Food Administration, Educational Division, Ben S. Allen, Director. THE MONITOR SELLS THREE INVENTIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT Columbus, Ga., Sept. 28.—Julius Hart, Colored, chauffeur for Dr. W. L. Bullard, has invented three aerial bombs, which promise to net him a fortune. They have already been accepted by the government, one of them at a price of $15,000, while the price for the other has not yet been announced. The bombs shoot in different directions, one fifty times before the chief explosion comes, another sixty times and a third 1,000 times before the final discharge. Hart, who is 25 years old, is a former resident of Union Point, Ga. FIRST ARTILLERY OFFICERS RECEIVE COMMISSIONS Washington, D. C., Sept. 28.-Fox the first time in the history of the country Colored officers have been certified for the artillery branch of the army. Sergeant Irvin Cassell of Baltimore, a former Cornell man, and thirty-two other Colored men, out of a class of 2,500 whites, graduated from the recent training camp at Louisville, Ky. Lieutenant Cassell stood second, while Colored men also stood third and fourth. Six of the honor men were Colored as against four whites. HELEN HAGAN GOES ABROAD New York, Sept. 28.—Miss Helen E. Hagan of New Haven, Conn., goes to France, selected for the government by the Y. M. C. A. of New York City, to play for our boys over there. Honor graduate of Yale Conservatory of Music. She was winner of Samuel Simons Sanford foreign fellowship from Yale university conservatory of music. Received diploma from Paris conservatory in 1914. BELIEVES A. F. OF L. BENEFIT TO RACE Washington, D. C., Sept. 28.—G. W. Millner, who represented about 1,000 other workers of his own race at the recent American Federation of Labor 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. Save Now for the 4TH Liberty Loan Sept.28th to Oct.21th "Buy a Bond and Keep it" DOGS AND CATS ARE EATEN IN BELGIUM Former Almost a Luxury, Says Prof. Carney of Louvain, Now in Washington. Prof. Albert J. Carney of the University of Louvain, now attached to the Belgian legation in Washington, said that dog meat is almost a luxury in Belgium and that cats also are being slaughtered for the table. Old people and children are dying in large numbers, and tuberculosis is rapidly spreading. Professor Carney says: "Coffee is very scarce in Belgium and is not obtainable under $5 a pound. Eggs sell at 16 cents each. To preserve, however, that kind of food, so badly needed for the invalids, now so numerous in Belgium, the works of rescue provide a low-priced food for the hens. Swiss cheese is obtainable at $3 a pound. Chocolate sells at $4 a pound and cocoa at $4.50. Olive oil is $8 a bottle. "This situation has incited to the discovery of numerous substitutes. A severe test has been applied to imitation products and all that was harmful has been pitlessly excluded. What is more interesting to record is the use of strawberry leaves instead of tobacco, of sirup instead of butter. "Moreover, all kinds of native fruits, generally neglected, have now a market value. Dog roses bring 3 cents a pound, wild hazel nuts cost 10 cents, with prunes 2 cents, elderberries 4 cents, etc. The Germans have regulated the exploitation of acorns and beechnuts, of which they send great quantities to Germany in order to extract oil from them. "They also have commandeered fat cats in many places. Since a tax of $6 has been imposed by them upon dogs, the number of those animals which their owners have killed and eaten is large. Dog meat is said to be commonly used." FINE CHATEAU FOR BLIND Art Dealer Rents Beauty Spot in Bois for Hospital. The Chateau de Madrid, in the Bois de Boulogne, for many years one of the best and finest restaurants and summer resorts of Paris, has through the generosity of M. Jacques Selligman, the art dealer of Paris and New York, and the suggestion of George Kessler, president of the British-French-Belgian permanent blind relief war fund, been placed at the services of the blinded soldiers of the allied armies. The $15,000 a year rent, which M. Selligman guarantees, will entitle the fund to the use of the whole house, with its 100 rooms, and the extensive gardens surrounding it. The whole domain forms one of the most beautiful spots in the Bois. The place has been rented for three years and will be opened in two weeks. M. Selligman made it a condition that the blinded American soldiers should also be cared for at the Chateau de Madrid. DISCOVERS "COOTIE" BANE Relief for Soldiers to Result From Professor's Experiments. Discovery of a chemical solution that will prevent American soldiers in the trenches from becoming infested with "bootties" was announced recently by Provost Edgar Fahr Smith of the University of Pennsylvania. Provost Smith presided at a meeting of the class secretaries of the University of Pennsylvania Alumni in Philadelphia. In announcing the preventive Provost Smith refused to give the name of the university scientist who made the experiments. It is said, however, that the discovery resulted from a series of experiments by the scientist in treating his own person with various chemical solutions until he found one that, used as a wash, acted as a deterring agent and prevented "cooties" from attacking him. While experimenting he maintained a colony of "cooties" in a receptacle worn on his wrist. GO BAREFOOT, SAYS GERMANY Old and Young Urged to Save Leather Even at Church. "Go barefoot this summer and help the fatherland," is the latest patriotic catchword to be placarded in Germany. "In view of the alarming scarcity of leather, rich and poor alike should dispense with boots and shoes," says an explanation of the placard in the Rhelnische Westfallsche Zeitung of Essen. The old are urged to set an example for the young. "Why not walk on your bare feet this summer?" says the Zeitung. "Neither old nor young need be ashamed to walk barefoot anywhere—at home, in the streets, at school or in church." FEAR SELECTIVE DRAFT Mexicans of Laredo, Tex., Are Fleeing to Mexico. As a result of war conditions and especially the selective draft striking terror to many of the Mexican residents of Laredo, Tex., and causing them to flee with their families from this country, or "hiding out" their children to prevent enrollment on the scholastic census, the number of school children of the Laredo Independent school district, according to the scholastic census, recently completed, has been reduced by 763. The scholastic census shows a total of 5,569.

JOHNSON AND SOUTH ```markdown ``` --- EIGHTH ANNUAL SESSION CLOSES, GUTHRIE CHOSEN NEXT MEETING PLACE The eighth annual session of the Oklahoma State Federation of Negro Women's clubs was held in Enid, Oklahoma, August 29th and 30th. There were twenty-four clubs represented by thirty-seven delegates from the various sections of the state. The reports from the clubs showed much success during the past year, financially and otherwise. Much inspiration was given to the ladies by the delegates who represented the state in the national meeting in Denver, Colorado. At this meeting the mortgage on the Douglas home in Washington, D. C., was burned. To help sustain this home the state federation is to donate annually $25. Throughout the session much stress was placed upon war work and war activities. In our midst were many mothers who had sons in France. Quite a tribute was naid them. A poem composed by Mrs. Josie Craig-Berry of Oklahoma City was adopted as the state club song set to the music of America. There was a beautiful display of art work sent in from the various cities. The demonstration of food conservation in the form of drying of vegetables given by Mrs. H. V. Ashercraft, agent of Logan county, was very interesting and helpful. Mrs. A. N. Southwick, (white), agent for Garfield county, was present and expressed herself as being very much pleased with the work. Mrs. L. M. Givens of Louisville, Ky., who has traveled extensively throughout Europe and America, was present and talked in the interest of Negro art and art museum. The next place of meeting will be Guthrie. Too much praise cannot be given the people of Enid for the very excellent way in which they cared for the federation. Every one expressed themselves as having had a very, very pleasant time. Mrs. Judith Horton, the president, deserves much credit for the very splendid way in which she conducted the meeting. Mrs. Horton is a wide-awake president. A WAR WORD TO SORROWING MOTHERS, WIVES AND SISTERS (By Lydia Kelley in Indianapolis Freeman.) During the month of August and September, when many of our young men will be called away to brave the perils of war, the Christian mother's heart will be forced to feel, perhaps as never before, what our blessed Lord had to undergo in giving up his life for the salvation of man. We are told that nothing is stronger than a mother's love, one test of which will be the anguish suffered by those whose sons shall soon take part in the frightful carmage that is devastating the world. Now is the hour for testing. Great SALE!! SIMPLICITY THE TRENCH COAT WAS DESIGNED TO BE A FASHIONABLE AND EASY TO Wear. IT WAS MADE OF Wool, Cashmere, and Silk.

This boy—for most of our best air fighters are nothing more—cost, trained and delivered F. O. B. the Front, the proceeds of $15,000 in Liberty Bonds. A crisis is at hand in your lives. Peace has gone. War is here. Your souls must change with this change, for better or worse. You have the choice. Will you be worthy of the women of the revolution and civil war, who gave their sons, husbands, brothers and lovers, weeping, yet smiling through their tears, broken-hearted, yet grand-hearted, grieving to lose a man, yet proud of gaining a soldier? The answer to this question rests with you. For instance will not our imperfect sense of nationality be made perfect by the trials of this war? Will any of our mothers hold back their sons from glory? You are a mother, and so am I. But so is Columbia, and she has rights to her sons. She has been in labor with us all that we might see the light of liberty. Do we owe her no return? Besides a dead backer of his country is a greater comfort to his mother than a live slacker. (My son gave his young and beautiful life in the Spanish-American war, and I am proud that he did.) The one is a glorious memory for her, the other an inglorious reality. On the one hand she sees only a career of amusement, trouble, grief, perhaps, wrong-doing, ending in decrepit old age; on the other hand an oblation upon which "The Gods Themselves Throw Incense." We have a right to course the seas. To maintain that right we ought to be willing to die. A barrier has been raised to obstruct us. We shall break through it, or at least be broken in the attempt. Our honor requires this much of us. Our fellow countrymen have been sunk. They cry to us for reparation from the deep. They ask Columbia to clear the path. We must take the initiative now or probably rue our negligence later. If England had waked up in time prospects would be better. Let us learn from her that safety lies in immediate action. Your sense of honor urges you. The actual suffering endured by the young men may well be considered light in comparison with what a loving mother will endure at home. The son will have every encouragement to cheer him on. He will have excitement to distract him from the danger that confronts him; he will be urged on by hope of the glory of success; but $15,000 F.

Far above, ten thousand feet it seemed, two tiny specks were whirling and looping around each other. One of them was American, the other German, but so high were they that the inexperienced eye could not tell which was which. One of them dropped out of the fight. Whirling and dipping, for all of the world like a leaf dropping from a tree, it idled toward the earth. The other came diving down in pursuit. Suddenly the falling plane straightened out, the other just behind it. With a beautiful loop the first one turned backward and down again, the trick putting it just above and behind its pursuer. A slight sound could be heard from below, much like the tearing of a bit of cloth—the rattle of its machine gun. The fight was over in a second. A burst of flame. --- THE MONITOR the mother will suffer a continual agony of anxiety and expectancy. (Yet she must be brave.) The papers may bring some fatal news. What poor consolation will it be for her in scanning the casualty list to assure herself that her son is not among the dead or missing. Truly the sorrows should be the devotion of every Christion mother while her son is on the fighting line. May our prayer be urgent, earnest and sincere. Do not say: "War is terrible." Lost honor is worse. Therefore give your sons. Their future has deeds of glory, of honor (God grant it may). But their arm will never be stronger, or the deed so great as today. Nineteen hundred years ago one died for you. When he marched to the battle field of Calvary, this mother, though broken-hearted, did not say: "Stay with me." Your son goes today, probably to die for his country. Can you summon enough courage to say "Go?" WEST VIRGINIAN HAS TWO INVENTIONS Charleston, W. Va., Sept. 28.—Chas. B. Guthrie resident of this city is the inventor of the two inventions, one of which is destined to prove a decided success and a boon to coal and coke shippers and manufacturers throughout the country. The invention comprises a railway car of a removable top or convertible cover adapted for use in connection with cars that are loaded with bulging commodities especially coal and coke, so the cars may have a cover that is movable and access may be had to the interior for bulk loading and at the same time afford protection from the weather and from theft. This invention is said to be especially desired by prominent coal operators and will revolutionize the shipment of through shipments of coal eliminating the enormous losses and needless expense heretofore entailed. The second invention is a collapsible box and crate combined which can be used in shipping various kinds of merchandise and which will collapse to a space of six inches. D. B.

It was the buyer of $15,000 in Liberty Bonds that enabled Uncle Sam to train this victor in that morning's fight—a battle which saved an artillery observation plane from destruction by the Hun. The tiny scout plane which the boy piloted was bought with the proceeds of $10,000 in bonds. These boys need the co-operation of big brothers over here who will send their fighting dollars to aid them in their battles. They need machine guns, each costing $200 in bonds. They need ammunition for which a $50 bond pays for only two minutes of firing, and they need more planes and pilots which will be paid for with the fighting dollars of the "Fighting Fourth" Liberty Loan. --- [Picture of a man in a suit and tie].

We cannot, however, forget that not one soldier nor civilian received similar punishment for participation in the East St. Louis massacre, which preceded the Houston tragedy and was in a measure contributory to it. The president reviewed the evidence in the case of the condemned men and reaffirmed the finding of the court martial, confirming the death penalty for the six, which has now been inflicted and commuting the sentences of ten to life imprisonment. He suggested that this commutation was a gracious largess for the loyalty and patriotism of our race. He found extenuating circumstances in the case of the ten, but not in that of the six, because they had "deliberately, wantonly and with great cruelty murdered civilians." If the evidence disclosed this, the president undoubtedly stands on firm ground. We are very glad, as we have said before, that in the reviewing of the evidence it was found that there was, as we felt there must be, some difference in the degree of the guilt of the accused. We were, however, under the impression that these men were tried originally not for "the murder of civilians," although they were guilty of that, but for the violation of the 53d article of war, in the disobedience of their superior officers and for rioting and mutiny. We did not know that the other charge entered into the case at all. The question that arises in our minds from President Wilson's reason for clemency in the case of the ten and withholding it in the case of the six is this: Upon which charge were the men originally tried—for violation of the 53d article of war or for the killing of civilians? If found guilty, under either charge, the men brought upon themselves the death penalty and only executive clemency could deliver them from it. If they were tried and found guilty under one charge, we cannot quite see how any other charge, upon which they were not tried, had anything to do either with extenuating or aggravating the guilt of the accused. However, be that as it may, we are glad that there has been executive clemency in the case of the ten. We hope now with the paying of the death penalty by the last six full expiation upon the part of black American soldiers has been made for their part in the crime of Houston. Concerning those who goaded them on unto this desperate extremity and insane folly and thus far have gone unwhipped of justice, we have naught to say. Discipline in the army must be maintained. Law must be respected. Those who violate the law merit and should receive punishment. Those who love their country and would have her rise to greatness cannot condone lawlessness in soldier or civilian, in black or white. Surely we have had enough hanging of our soldiers for that deplorable Houston tragedy. It is time the authorities federa, if those of the offending states will not, turned their attention to the hanging of lynchers, Can there not be found some way to reach and punish lynchers who violate our country's laws and are guiltv of murder with the same kind of justice that has been meted out to these soldiers? METHODIST CONFERENCE INDICATES PROGRESS THE Kansas Methodist conference which closed its sessions here last Sunday night demonstrated the progress which our people are making in things spiritual, which after all are the things which count most, as well as in things temporal. Bishop Parks presided over this representative body numbering more than a hundred delegates, clerical and lay, with dignity and fairness. Business was intelligently and rapidly dispatched. There was a general absence of the disposition so prevalent in all legislative and deliberate bodies for a few tiresome "regular speakers" to monopolize the floor and "speechify" on every question presented. There was also noted the absence of the delegate with the love of "rizin" to a pint of order." The speeches made, were in the main, terse, direct and forceful. The reports from committees were specific and in good form. At the religious services the ser- 4 mons and addresses were all on a high plane. The conference took a decided stand for an intelligent and morally clean ministry. Execsior, in all things was clearly the dominant note of the conference. There could be no doubt as to the patriotic tone and temper of this representative religious body. Resolutions to stand loyally behind the government in the present crisis were unanimously and enthusiastically adopted not merely as a matter of form, but as the genuine conviction of loyal hearts. At the same time, the conference had the courage to place itself on record as being very much dissatisfied with segregation, Jim Crow car laws and other forms of undemocratic discrimination, demanding their removal. The African Methodist Episcopal church has a large membership, numbering well over one million souls. It exerts a tremendous influence in the religious life and uplift of our people. We believe that evidence of substantial progress noted in the deliberations of the forty-second annual session of the Kansas conference will also be found among the various conferences and districts throughout the country. We note this mark of progress with profound gratitude, as demonstrating the manner in which the race is rising to meet its responsibilities in Christian manhood and citizenship. THE PASSING OF A FRIEND WORD has sped throughout the length and breadth of this nation that Archbishop Ireland is dying. Sad indeed are these words as they come to the Colored race, who have never found a stauncher and more trusted friend than this Roman Catholic prelate. He has been our friend at all seasons and has never been afraid to champion our cause in every case when a champion was needed. He might have gone through life and never have said a friendly word for our race and have been a great man just the same, but he was the friend of the oppressed. In his own city of St. Paul the citizens can tell you a thousand stories of his kindness and beneficence and under the very dome of the capital at Washington he has spoken out against the wrongs and illegalities practiced upon our race here in America. May death deal with him gently and when the call comes to him out of the unknown and unguessed void, we know that he will be ready to go with a smile and trustfulness. When the great Mass is said that shall commend his soul to the care of the Almighty, there shall ascend with its incense the blessing of twelve millions of blacks for whom he has tried to do so much. WELCOME TO PASTORS The Monitor bids cordial welcome to the Rev. William C. Williams of St. John's A. M. E. church and the Rev. J. A. Broadnax of Allen Chapel South Side, who have been returned to their pastorates in this city by their conference. We wish them every success in their ministerial labors and call upon the people of their faith to rally to their assistance and hold up their hands that they may successfully carry on the work entrusted to them. SKITS OF SOLOMON Metz, the headliner in the papers which is the objective of the Yanks, isn't Metz kegged beer, but a town in Alsace-Lorraine that thinks it has Gibraltar beat all hollow when it comes to untakability. Metz has more breast works about it than a German has belly and it will take several hours to make an impression upon them, but there happens to be a guest at the party now whom the Germans didn't invite and who wouldn't stop at anything short of the yawning chasm of chaos that is opening up for the boches. The reason the Yanks are tampering with the Metz hardware and stone work is to get a pathway into the Rhine valley so that the way to Berlin will be lined with flowers, Kaiser Bill, up-to-date, has been rather satisfied with himself that all the scrapping has been done off German soil, but when the Yanks put Metz out of commission he will have an attack of acute pain that will be midway between appendicitis and pleurisy. That's one reason why Kaiser Bill is sieing Austria onto the allies to sound them out on what they think about peace. He knows when Unk Sam's Khaki Metz THE MONITOR BY FRED C. WILLIAMS MY previous article describing the southland under the captive of the general trend of the poorer classes, of the white race fecer of the law or deputy, he only fit for animals and Negro picion upon any law or proposed to work.

Fourthly, by appointing to tbers of both races, who have ar over. The attitude of these p should be made the basis of their. Fifthly, to give the ballot races and both sexes, and I say woman would be fair and impact those rights guaranteed by the c MY previous article describing conditions of law and order in the southland under the caption of The Menace, was descriptive of the general trend of thought among the numerous, yet poorer classes, of the white race. Occupying the position as officer of the law or deputy, he grew to dislike work, thinking it only fit for animals and Negroes. He therefore looked with suspicion upon any law or proposed law that tended to force the idle to work. He even felt that he was greater than the law and reaching that point of imagined superiority, he was defiant of all real law. He misused his power and therefore misapplied the purposes of the law, until this menace has grown beyond the bounds of control of even the upper classes, who have been recognized as the powers that be. The upper classes, finding their position of control threatened, have looked about for a means by which to readjust this unlawful condition of things. I willingly come to their rescue with this simple suggestion as a remedy to this great menace. First, to take the police power out of the hands of the illiterate and ignorant classes by federalizing it and placing it directly under the direction of the secret service division of the department of justice. This method of the governmental control of police authority is in force in Canada and not only are the innocent let alone, but the really guilty are actually punished. Secondly, by disarming all police officials acting in any capacity and making the authority of the law the sole power of intimidation. Thirdly, by doing away with the small justice courts, which are in reality merely kangaroo courts presided over by prejudiced and illiterate magistrates, and have all trivial crimes and misdemeanors tried in municipal courts under judges duly elected by popular vote because of their legal knowledge and standing. Fourthly, by appointing to the federalized police forces members of both races, who have arrived at the age of thirty-five or over. The attitude of these persons toward their fellow man should be made the basis of their appointments. Fifthly, to give the ballot box back into the hands of both races and both sexes, and I say both sexes for the reason that woman would be fair and impartial in the matter of preserving those rights guaranteed by the constitution. Terrors start speculating in Teuton real estate and chickenry, it's all over but the shouting. But Austria fell down. When her dove of peace came hobbling up to the ally camp, one whack at her papier mache head showed up Old Kaiser Bill, whiskers and all. The only way for Bill to get a benediction is to blow off the top of his bean before somebody blows it off for him. But back to Metz. Its days are numbered just as are the days of the pullet out in the chicken yard who is showing such a great degree of edibility. After Metz, through to Berlin. That's the cry that is giving Bill a chronic case of jim jams. Obvious Observations Bishop Parks told the Colored preachers at the conference that this is an age of intelligence and unless a candidate for the ministry brings along plenty of it, his name is Dennis. That's the best thing we've heard in many moons, Bishop. Say it again. Omaha newspapers evidently think that our city commission can stand any degree of knocking. Why not get a sledge hammer, brothers, and strike one good blow from which there will be no recovery? Why shouldn't policemen have more money? Of course they can lift a peach or an apple from a fruit stand now and then, but peaches and apples don't keep up their muscular corrosity. It takes beans and bacon to do that and these come just as high for a policeman as for a pick juggler. What the heck does an automobile need with a devil horn when a speed nut never uses it? Is it just there for an ornament? Kaiser Bill is being pounded upon so many regions of his anatomy just now that he doesn't know where to speed the linament. The Metz brewing people ought to be able to give us some dope on how to dispose of the city over there. One thing is a cinch; if the city is anything like the beer, there won't be much left of it when the Yanks get through. Who said Omaha was a dry town? That collection of whisky bottles found outside the court house doesn't sound like Camelville by Sahara. If the boches thought the British couldn't fight, it will be a long time before anybody will dare to tell one of them anything different. Thanking you for your kind attention, we will now give the muny ice plant the grand go by and give the coal man some hot air about next payday.

Phone B 1199 Competition is Not the Good Thing it is Said to Be... To the public who buy bargains from merchants, who in their jealous rivalry, sell for cost or less, competition may seem a good thing. To the 85% of a merchant's customers who pay the regular price all year around; who know that they must pay the losses of goods sold at sale time, competition is wasteful and costly. In this time of national strife—when we are being urged to eliminate waste—to minimize cost—for every man to get the most possible for the money he spends; we have discontinued the Semi-Annual Sale as wasteful and costly. As unjustly assessing a burden on the 85% who buy in season, that the 15% who buy at sale time may buy for less. There will be no economy in putting off buying till later the price will not be less. Try our new plan—it's already proving resultful. It's giving men the finest of Clothes, marked at less profit, and right in the beginning of the season.

CHARLES STEWART DELIVERS LECTURE Charles Stewart of Chicago delivered a most telling, forceful and instructive lecture last Saturday night in the lecture room of St. John's church on Uncle Ned and His Son. Prof. Stewart is a brilliant speaker, with a large fund of well-digested knowledge, and a keen sense of humor. He told how Uncle Ned played his part and played it well under the old regime and was loved by those who knew him. For thirty years from 1865 to 1895 the south mourned his demise. When Booker T. Washington made his famous speech at Atlanta, the south said Uncle Ned has risen again; but they found that it was Uncle Ned's son. He then showed how Uncle Ned's son, the forceful, industrious, ambitious Negro is everywhere forging to the front and helping to make the history of America. He told of the impetus the war has given to Uncle Ned's son. He showed how conditions are improving despite apparent evidence to the contrary in many quarters. He wittily but forcefully called attention to many racial weaknesses which it is our duty to overcome. The speaker was introduced by the Rev. Dr. Logan, pastor of Grove M. E. church. FORTY-FOUR MORE DRAFTEES LEAVE FOR CAMP Wednesday afternoon and night forty-four more of our Omaha boys left for training camp; thirty-four leaving for Camp Lewis and ten for Camp Pike. The men were dined at the Chamber of Commerce at noon and at 3:30 the usual program was given by Desdunes band at the court house. Speeches were made on behalf of the city by Mayor Smith and the Rev. M. H. Wilkeinson, pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist church, bade them God-speed on behalf of their friends. Both though brief were excellent. Headed by the band and accompanied by Red Cross workers and citizens the boys were accompanied to the train and sent on their way with cheers and good wishes. EDITOR CHILES OF TOPEKA PLAINDEALER HERE Nick Chiles, the manly editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, was here in attendance upon the Methodist conference. Nick Chiles is a man who has the courage of his convictions and is never afraid to express them. He is now at work to secure a review of the case of the members of the Twenty-fifth infantry implicated in the Houston riot and who are now imprisoned at Fort Leavenworth. He believes that there should have been given an opportunity for a review of the evidence in the case of these men and for that he is contending. GOES TO BISHOP . DEMBY'S CONSECRATION The Rev. John Albert Williams, vicar of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon and editor of The Monitor, left last night for St. Louis to attend the consecration of Bishop Demby, who is a warm personal friend. Father Williams has been enabled to take this trip through the kindness and generosity of a few friends. There will be the usual 11 o'clock service at St. Philip's.

You can be a little hysterical, as I am, over the border-town thrillingness of things. Or you can close a cold, canny commercial eye and get a chamber-of-commerce angle on its go-West-young-man -opportun!- ties, I never suw a town where they care so little about dust storms and so much about industrial chanees, writes Zoe Beckley in the Pittsburgh Dispateh. My ninth story window is in as hand- some a hotel as ever reared its elegant facade from the gilt and marble, Turk- ish rug and hat check belt of New York city. It has all the modern con- veniences with a few western develop- ments like free newspapers at your door In the morning.

The streams of hot metal whizzed but a few inches over the men as they lay flat, taking advantage of every hole and depression. They were "digging in." Some were lucky and had shell holes to work from. Others were hugging the flat earth and making their own holes. One chap, however, seemed to be doing nothing. "Dig in, man, dig in," his Lieutenant yelled at him. "I can't, sir. I've lost my tools," was the answer. Digging in goes on all of the time at the front. The shovel is the doughboy's best friend, next to his rifle, and it probably saves his life oftener. With every move toward Berlin new trenches must be built and captured German positions turned to face the other way. When the shovels have done their part, wire, sandbags and lumber are brought up from the rear by carrying parties and the trench made permanent. When the counter-attack comes, it is well built trenches that save lives among our men and enable them to hold the lines with the least loss. As they move forward a continuous stream of building materials must fol "Bite yourself in, then," came back the order. "If that machine gun drops its fire an inch lower you are a goner!" HOSPITAL FOR COLORED PEOPLE St. Louis, Mo.—The Centenary hospital, at Garrison and Lawton avenues, is to be turned over to the city to be used for Colored people in the near future, according to a statement given out by Director of Public Welfare Mr John Schmoll. It is understood that a Negro physician is to have charge of this institution together with visiting staff, internes and nurses. This will be the finest hospital operated by Colored people in the country. According to present plans, possession will be had in less than ninety days, and all of the Negro patients at the present city hospital will be transferred to the new location. THE FIGHTING LINE When Jimmy went to fight the Hun Across the briny sea It seemed like setting of the sun To Jimmy's ma and me, And I opine we would repine, But we've no time, you see. For now that Jimmy's gone to fight, To finish off the Hun, We've got to hustle day and night A-backing up of son. But when the morning whistle blows There's no more time for naps— We've got to hustle shot and shell And guns for all those chaps. Jim's ma is raising garden truck, One sister's making "sass," Another's in munitions, And our only other lass Will be a Red Cross nurse right soon She's leading in her class. I'm working fifteen hours a day And yet I'm feeling fine, And when I do get tired I say, Well, that's a certain sign That I'm a soldier in my way And on the fighting line. —Ellis Meredith. --- --- We don't get up at reveille Or go to bed at "taps." the pick and space are the doughboy's all the time as the lines change and sandbags, lumber and wire, will follow captured positions permanent ones.
