COLONEL WILLIAM HAYWARD, at the head of a regiment of Negro troops, picked from the Harlem district in New York, has been in the thick of the fighting in France, has been commended by General Chabord, his commander, for the work he and his men performed and is now in a rest camp after hard fightinf for a sustained period of 129 days. Writing to William H. Pitzer, his former law partner at Nebraska City, he says: "Well, we are at rest." A few days ago a tired, ragged, bousy, battle-scarred regiment trudged out of a sector after being under fire every day for 129 days, after being through the greatest battle in the world's history and after holding what was at one time (14 months after the United States declared war on Germany), one fifth of all the ground the whole American army was holding when that army had about ten times as many commissioned officers in France as we had enlisted men. "The French generals, from General Gouraud down, say that we did our work as well as the veteran French infantry regiments on either side of us. We captured prisoners, including a German officer and lost none of to them. We killed many of them in their trenches and inside our own lines. We were never driven from our front trenches, although assaulted repeatedly. 'No Man's Land' soon became the 15th B. Y. land after we took over each of the sectors we held, the last one being the most active and dangerous sector from Switzerland to the channel, so the French tell us. "On total killed and captured we are away ahead of the boche—maybe 100. And we did what we were given to do with a minimum of losses. "General Gouraud has inscribed to me a copy of his now famous address to his soldiers before the great battle in which he expresses his great esteem "Au Colonel Hayard et son brave regiment." "So as we tramped away to the south in the sunshine and dust of the late days of August and the sound of the damned guns grew fainter and fainter, and we took off our stel helmets and put away our gas masks, temporarily, you can imagine how the spirits of the men grew high, and how they sang marching songs lustily and what our thoughts were "And when one remembers the beginnings of this little old handpicked, home-made regiment of Harlem Colored boys and that we were never inspected, never trained, never coached by an officer outside the regiment, that we were never in an American brigade or division, that we never had a training period, even ever so short, as all the other American regiments had, but instead were the cheerful and efficient chore boy of the war department until coming to France—well it's done and that's the answer, and now we're looking toward bigger and better things, after a few weeks rest and training, in open warfare. Pray God we may never again have to go back to permanent trenches in a stabilized position. "Many acts of individual bravery stand out conspicuously, even in this gallant army of French heroes and veterans. At least thirty Croix-de-Guerres have been awarded officers and men (subject to approval of A. E. F., H. Q.). On the other hand we had, as I presume every regiment must have, some men whose conduct in line and out was not at all credible. But they couldn't all be heroes on $30 a month, could they? "We have been here several days. You should see my bullies now. All clean, de-loused, new uniforms, spick and span and happy, and how they can drill and maneuver; I enclose copy of letter from General Chabord, the French general who commanded the infantry of our division so long leaving us to command a division. He seems to think well of us, n'est ce pas?" Praised by Chabord. Enclosed in the letter was the following commendatory communication from General Chaboud: "I thank you for the fine things contained in your letter.

No other rule is left to us and no other rule is needed. Words may be laden with thought and purport, but work and accomplishment are the things that count. Two years ago a young man was ordained to the ministry and the number of his flock was fifteen. It might still be fifteen had this young man been an ordinary young man, but the pith of this story is that he was not. He can be classed with only the extraordinary young cers and particularly of their commanding officer. "I should have been happy and proud to fight in open warfare, side by side with such warm-hearted collaborators; I would have gone to battle with absolute confidence. "You had your share in the big battle with the French army, which stopped abruptly the enemy offensive and which enabled us to counter-attack somewhere else, on a large scale. "My division has been engaged in this counter-offensive and has achieved some good work. For my debut I prepared and carried out an attack supported by an American artillery brigade under command of General Bowley. The success of this attack is chiefly due to the co-operation of your compatriots, who displayed the finest military qualities. 'All right! Colonel, we shall get them.' They have led in the wing. Let us not be sleepy, but let us be also foresighted against the kicks of the animal at bay. "My friendly regards to Colonel Pickering and to all your officers.

BLACKS FACE TO COMMIT ASSAULT ON WHITE WOMAN Okmulgee, Okla., Sept. 20.—Convicted of attacking a young woman on a country road two miles east of this city on the night of July 23, Ira E. Williams (white), aged 36, a traveling salesman, was sentenced to ninety-nine years in the state pentenary. The crime was one of the most brutal ever committed in this section. Williams is accused by some of having blackened his face in order that the crime would be shifted to another race. RACE MEN WANT SEAT AT THE PEACE TABLE Chicago, Oct. 2.—Negroes of the United States will make a determined effort to be represented at the peace table when the central powers are defeated. Resolutions setting forth their claims to representation were adopted by the Equal Rights league in session here last week and a committee appointed to present them to President Wilson. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 5, 1918 men. Today his flock has grown to 675 and is still growing. His people love him and have faith in him. Yet this is only the smallest part of the story. Five months ago this carnest young man sat down by night light and drew plans for a large church in which to house his people. It was an imposing dream and one which many older men would have said was but a vision of untutored youth. But this young man did not advertise his hopes. He carried the plans to his people and asked them if they would help him and with one voice they said, "Yes!" And what is more they meant it. In five months Kultur In Africa Kultur In Africa Ida Vera Simonton Writes of Germany's Atrocities in Africa—New York Sun Publishers From Author's Book, "Hell's Playground." THE return of Germany's African colonies would not only be the crowning crime to the long list of crimes committed by the white man upon the African, but it would cause a native rebellion from Cairo to the Cape and endanger the life of every white man between. For Germany's actions in Africa so outbarbarized the most barbarous atrocities of the savages that ineradicable hatred of the German is implanted in the African, and now that he is free of German barbarity and versed in European warfare he will never again voluntarily submit to Prussian rule. This I know from my own personal observations in the African colonies. I have seen youth and old age chained neck to neck, ankle to ankle and waist to waist with shackles reminiscent of the middle ages, goaded with rifle butt and bayonet point, flogged with the sjambok—that dreaded lash of rhinoceros hide—and forced to labor from sunup to sundown on the land that had been theirs from time out of mind! I've seen youth and old age drop dead in their tracks, their bodies dragged on by their helpless companions in agony because the German overlords would not let them rest long enough to remove the dead body from its shackles and give it burial! New Mothers March Under Lash. I've seen youth and old age, women and little children, after a day of the hardest kind of labor—road making, jungle clearing and working timber—crowded for the night into huge barracoons without windows or beds, filthy and vermin ridden beyond description, veritable hotbeds of contagion and disease and channel houses for more wretches than could be counted! I've seen mothers, ten minutes after the experience of maternity, hurry piteously to catch up with the caravan of which they were apart to avoid the time this young man with his earnest followers have built a magnificent new church at the cost of $30,000 and paid every cent of it as they builted. None but Colored workmen raised the imposing structure and not one penny of the $30,000 was given by a white person. The church, a picture of which is shown above, has a seating capacity of 1,200 people and is absolutely completed. On Sunday, September 29, the dedication services were held. Rev. M. H. Wilkinson, of Mount Moriah Baptist church, preached the sermon and, to the sweet tones of a beautiful pipe organ, a sjamboking they knew would be theirs if they and their loads did not arrive at a given factory on a given day! I've known girl children from 5 years up the victims of German soldiers; I've seen girls still in childhood set drift in their hope that they and their young might perish! For the cowardly Hun hasn't the courage of his crimes. He feared a race of Euro-Africans, a race that would in time become powerful enough to exact retribution. Any babies who survived were blinded, mutilated and poisoned for life with germs. But the German's bestiality was not confined to his treatment of his half-enate children. To overcome the Euro-African danger the government, under the pretence of offering lucrative positions as barmaids, typists and telephonists lured young healthy German peasant girls to the colonies and, denied matrimony, they were forced to live with German soldiers and farmers. Many of these women and children, 3,000 of them, if memory serves, were deserted by their men when Britain and Boer invaded southwest Africa in the present war. Accustomed to the inhumanity of those formerly in power over them, they put no faith in General Botha's stern order, given when his troops occupied Windhoek, the capital, for the scrupulous protection of every German woman and child. The Hereros welcomed the Germans, expecting, of course, the same treatment they had received from the British and other Europeans with whom they had traded for years. They were unusually friendly to missionaries, too, and professed a sort of Christianity. If Germany ever had a chance to "civilize" a nation which would work to the utmost for her a territory half again as large as her home area and potentially rich beyond computation, she had it in southwest Africa. But in her conceit and arrogance she thinks there is only one way to rule a subject people—and that is through the abject slavery born of the mortal fear. Bismarck foresaw failure if too much "iron" were introduced into (Continued on Page 5) Vol. IV. No large choir sang their songs of praise to their redeemer. And would it be sacrilege to say that in the hearts of those people there rose as well a silent hymn of praise for their young pastor who has led them to a victory which no other congregation in Omaha can claim? We are proud of Rev. Thomas Taggart, pastor of the new and beautiful Bethel Baptist church, 28th and T streets, South Omaha, Neb. Omahans will do well to visit this church and see the actual corroboration of the work that has inspired these words. KING OF ENGLAND SENDS SYMPATHY Wife of Negro Soldier Gets Imperial Message. Detroit, Mich., Sept. 30.—"The king commands me to assure you of the true sympathy of his majesty and the queen in your sorrow.—Derby, Secretary of State for War." Mrs. Blanche Saunders, 345 Orleans street, received a card bearing the foregoing inscription properly decorated with the British coat-of-arms Thursday, and her sorrow at the death of her husband in action at the front is tempered by the acknowledgment of the king of England that he sympathizes with her. The husband. B. K. Saunders, is the first American Negro from Detroit to die in France, and therein lies another destination for the widow. He enlisted in the Canadian engineer's April 8 of this year and was killed August 17. Besides his widow he leaves a father and mother in Guatemala. For two years previous to his enlistment he was employed by the Michigan Copper and Brass company. ONE HUNDRED SECOND LIEUTENANTS COMMISSIONED Camp Pike, Ark.—At the closing exercises of the infantry division of the central officers' training school at Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark., one hundred and seven Colored men, representing nearly every state in the union, received commissions as second lieutenants. Capt. Garrison, the instructor in charge of the school, said that the young men had exceeded all expectations and had met conditions as they were in a most cheerful and confident manner and that they had mounted the military ladder of training round by round, showing a degree of proficiency that compared most favorably with their fellows. Their conduct in camp and city was most praiseworthy. They came from all walks of life, from college down. Elmer Morris of Omaha, Neb., was among those winning commissions. He is now stationed at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O. Governor of Georgia Replies to Communications addressed to Him by National Association—Apparently Too Busy to Sign Letter. NEW YORK.-The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People makes public the reply of Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia, to two telegrams concerning specific cases of lynching in Georgia, in which the Association asked Governor Dorsey what it could "tell America concerning Georgia's co-operation with the president in helping to stamp out mob violence." The first telegram (August 21st), referred to a memornadum submitted to Governor Dorsey, in person, by the Assistant Secretary of the Association, July 10, in which were given the names of seventeen members of the mob which lynched Negroes in Brooks and Lowndes counties from May 17 to May 22, at which time the governor stated in the most positive terms that he would do all in his power to bring the guilty parties to justice. The second telegram (August 26), urged Governor Dorsey to use every power at his command to apprehend the lynchers of Ike Radney, who was lynched near Colquit, Georgia, on August 11. Governor Dorsey's reply addressed to John R. Shillady, secretary of the Association, makes no reference to the case of Radney, and is given below. In a statement issued last night, Mr. Shillady says that lynchings have occurred in Texas, Louisiana and Georgia since the president's denunciation of lynching and mob violence was made, and in each case the Association addressed inquiries to the governors of the three states. No acknowledgements have been received from Texas and Louisiana, and despite diligent inquiries the Association has been unable to ascertain that any steps at all have been taken to apprehend the lynchers. So far as the governors of these three states are concerned, President Wilson's proclamation has had no effect, and is apparently wholly disregarded. Governor Dorsey's letter to Mr. Shillady follows: Dear Sir: Referring to your telegram of August 21 and 22 (26th), with reference to the recent lynchings in Brooks and Lowndes counties: "So far as I am able to ascertain no definite results have been obtained in the effort to apprehend the guilty parties. "I shall take pleasure in advising you in the event any developments take place. "Yours very truly, (Signed.) "HUGH M. DORSEY." Note—Governor Dorsey's signature was affixed by rubber stamp. [But of course no "developments" will take place because, well because it's Georgia and the governor and those in authority will make no sincere effort "to apprehend the guilty parties."—Editor Monitor.] COLORED SOLDIERS' WRECK POLICE STATION Norfolk, Va., Sept. 28.—An infuriated crowd of 300 Colored soldiers from Camp Morrison last Friday night completely wrecked the Second precinct police station here in an attempt to rescue two soldiers who had been arrested on a frivolous charge. Nearly all the windows were broken by flying bullets, bricks and bottles before the officers could open on them with pistols. Ten Colored soldiers and civilians were shot in the exchange of bullets before the arrival of police reserves and naval guards, who aided the officers in quelling the rioters. Several of the wounded at the hospital are said to be in a precarious condition. AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR HAS FOUR RACE DELEGATES Washington, D. C., Sept. 26.—G. W. Millner, a Negro, 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 and their presence showed conclusively that the color line is no longer drawn in labor's ranks.

The war college at Washington advises that there have been registered 207 white labor companies, 200 of which were sent overseas before their organization was entirely complete. This is positive evidence that these labor battalions are not confined exclusively to Colored membership, as has been intimated in some quarters. A Colored Woman's Volunteer Service league of Newark, N. J., has been organized as a branch of the mayor's committee of the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense, and has opened headquarters at 249 Mulberry street, where Colored soldiers may be made "at home" and entertainment provided for them. A suitable building is to be secured for the establishment of a canteen for the benefit of the soldiers. Some of the officers of this voluntary service league are: President, Mrs. Amorel Cook; secretaries, Mrs. L. M. Holmes, Mrs. M. E. Burrell, Mrs. E. E. Hilton and Mrs. Emma Wormiey; treasurer, Mrs. Louise Hilton. Mr. J. E. Blanton, in co-operation with the war department commission on training camp activities, is doing effective work in various camps in organizing "liberty choruses" among the Colored soldiers and in instructing them in the technique of plantation melodies, folksong singing and the standard "spirituals." He is introducing with great success Natalie Curtis Burlin's newly conceived and most happily harmonized folksong, "A Hymn of Freedom," which is set for singing to the tune of "Ride On, Jesus, Ride On." Opportunities for the entrance of competent Colored men in the veterinary corps are now open. Information relative to this branch of the service may be had by addressing Major Ray J. Stanclift, assistant director of the veterinary corps, Washington, D. C. New barracks are being built at Howard university and Atlanta university for the accommodation of the young men who are coming in from all sections of the country to take the military training along with their academic studies and for the vocational classes that will come from draftees who will be assigned there by local boards or army camp officials. The opportunities offered young Colored men through the committee on education and special training are being seized with eagerness, and so rapidly has the demand for this type of education grown, and so potent are the results noted, that the government's policy of thus turning out specially trained men for its manifold needs is meeting with universal approval and sh!

Charles Harris, leader of the Commonwealth band of Baltimore, Md., has been appointed assistant band leader and will soon go to France with one of the Colored organizations. After six months he will be made a second lieutenant. High officials in France are said to be exceedingly fond of the "jazz" music furnished by the Colored bands. General Petain recently visited a sector in which there are American troops and had "the time of his life" listening to a Colored band playing the popular "jazz" music, with some Negro dance stunts in keeping with the spirit of the melodies. He warmly congratulated the Colored leader upon the excellence of the work of his organization and thanked him for the enjoyable entertainment that had been given him. Orchard & Wilhelm Co. Second Floor Colored men, serving as privates, who have abilities alonb any special line will find it to their advantage to acquaint their company commanders with the nature of their qualifications, and this may lead to congenial assignments in keeping with their mental or technical attainments. There is always something for a man to do who is of proved ability or special equipment. There are now forty-one Colored chaplains in the United States army. It is expected that Colored chaplains will be provided for service at Camp Lee at an early date. Colored members of the Committee of One Hundred, who are authorized to present the war aims of the government, are getting into touch with the State Councils of Defense in their respective localities and are thus lending themselves effectively to the programs marked out for the particular needs of the several states.

If so, back him up and as soon as you can reach an official BUY A LIB- ERTY BOND. When you back them up, you back up your country, and your country needs your backing. Ne man or woman is too small, too incon’ sequential, to heip the nation. If you have not yet given up a loved one to defend our country over there, more is the reason that you should BUY A LIBERTY BOND and help. There is but one slogan now and do not forget it: BUY A LIBERTY BOND! THE CONFLICT OF REASON AND SENTIMENT [= is an eternal conflict between reason and sentiment. In this hour of world war, when our country is doing all possible to preserve civil- ization and make the earth a decent home, reason dictates that our race has no other part to play than that of patriotic loyalty and unvarying devo- tion. This is the only country we know and the Stars and Stripes is the only flag for which ye have ever felt a passion. We are Americans all, and jit is up to everyone of us to do an American's part. Yet it cannot be denied that senti- ment plays its part. The heart has a language and sometimes it screams aloud and almost drowns the voice of reason. As a persecuted people we have, perhaps, more delicacy of soul than other peoples, and the slightest injustice never passes unnoticed. It is as though a musie maker tunes his harp to sweetest harmony and sud- denly a hidden hand strikes and brings forth discord. Our supposed leaders say that we must forget our wrongs, but CAN WE? Can we view with voiceless tongue and unwavering eye the subtle workings of prejudice as they are rife today? If our beloved country is big enough to be great, is it not also big enough to be gen- erous? Our nation has put fear into the hearts of all who would dare as- sail our purpose and our aims; can it not pu: fear into the hearts of those who try to make it a crime to be black? Whatever may be done or said, now is the time for the executive department of our government to strike at the hydra headed demon of prejudice and keep it silent during the war. Then after the war it might revive, but revive with such a weak- ness and fraility that men might help one another to try and forget it. We wonder if such a thing may not be possible? THE METROPOLITAN ON THE NEGRO pe October number of the Metro- politan Magazine contains a very inclusive article on the Negro and the war, by Harrison Rhodes. We say in- clusive, because the author has includ- ed almost every phase of war activity as it touches the race in America. It is a symputhetic and deeply apprecia- tive article and has none of that course vulgarism that typified the “Mobiliz- ing Rastus” that appeared in Collier's sometime ago. Particularly interest- ing is the manner in which the author takes up the matter of the Red Cross. He says that this national society has usually prided itself upon assuming a certain social and aristocratic tinge and when it was first suggested that Colored women be made Red Cross workers, there was a considerable fight on hand. The organization even went to the length of turning down the work of Colored chapters by the wholesale and that thousands of knitted good: were thrown out for the reason that the Red Cross wanted nothing from Colored women. The author also states that the Colored soldier has shown himself a veteran under shell fire, the ‘one point where many said he woulé fall down. The article is a good on ‘and well worth reading, Buy a Liberty bond to beat the Hun Save Now PE aL a aT ern Boe eels ee PEL uP eu Lead GETTING IN THE GAME The World-Herald reprints a selec: tion called “Us Angry Saxom’s,” from the Atlantic Monthly and it is about the cheapest attempt at Negro dialect we have ever read. It purports to be a dialogue indulged in by members of the Eighth Ilinois and is certainly a monument to the white man’s ignor- ance, We did not expect such a thing from the Atlantic Monthly, but when ‘it stoops to such ignorant jargon and attempts to saddle it upon such a regi- ‘ment as the Eighth, we beg to be ex- cused. Of course the “Us Angity Saxom’s,” was copied from one of Charles W. Chestnut’s books and used by some white pen acrobat who is making an attempt to be funny. But there isn't any humor in it. When you want real Negro humor, you must first of all learn how he talks. No Negro in the world ever talked like those written up in the Atlantic Montaly. If this New England maga: zine wants to deal in southern dialect, it had better put a Colored man or woman on the staff and have them censor such stuff as “Us Angry Sax- oms.” Get in the game right. + ‘THE ETERNAL AFRICAN When the war came at last the Negro race rose to the occasion with really touching simplicity. No ob- server could fail to see that the Ne- groes thrilled deeply to the thought that the American fiag was their flag and that it was not only their duty, but their privilege to defend it. What- ever we may feel them, the Colored people feel themselves not African but American. Have they not indeed deunk of our wells and eaten of our bread for three centuries? The Ger- man propagandists told them the flag was not theirs. But it is the only flag they have ever had, and under it, in spite of adverse conditions, they have attained to a degree of civilization and prosperity and happiness which their fellows have reached under no other. We must remember too that American citizenship, of which some of its white possessors think lightly enough, is for the Negro still a great, almost romantic privilege, and that all his hopes for the future as sum- med up in complete attainment of it and full enjoyment of all its rights and advantages. The race is emo- tional and the days are propitious for an’ emotianal _ patriotism—Harrison ‘Rhodes in the Metropolitan. PROCESSION OF THE SLAIN If we sat day and night and saw the ghostly procession of those slain in the war file by in ranks of four, minute by minute, ten years would pass and still the tale of the world’s sacrifice of its youth and strength and hope would not have been told. And if behind the dead, there filed the host of the maimed, the halt, the blind, the dumb, the paralyzed, fifty years would hardly exhaust the dread- ful spectacie, The material costs we do not yet realize, We are burning down the house of Bobo and it makes a fine blaze—plenty of work, plenty of money, plenty of profits. We shall have to wait till the fire is out and we survey the map of ashes before we appreciate the meaning of these thou- sands of millions of debt which Bonar Law announces to a house that used to be seized with visions of national bankruptey if any one asked for one million dollars to build schools or house the poor, or heal the sick—The London Daily News. QUESTIONS BY THE WAY When will Colonel Young be re- called to active service? . When is the first contingent of Col- ored Red Cross nurses to be called? Are we getting our full quota of commissioned officers for our Colored soldiers? When will the Jim Crow law be abolished on government controlled railroads, When will lynching cease to be a southern pastime? When will the ninety-second divis- ‘ion get to Berlin? ‘The nineteenth Colored soldier was hung this week to expiate the Hous- ton crime. Georgia this week has lynched her nineteenth Negro victim innine months, Not a single Georgia Hun has been molested for his crime. *Buy a Liberty bond and make the world safe for democracy.

But now olé So: hax about bankrupted his ex- chequer bringing cut a nifty Looklet known as The Children of the Sun. In the whole regiments of type he hasn’t said a werd about himself, but what he said about you is a caution. ‘Legend has it that old man Darwin claimed you descended from a simian called monkey, but Sol has hit Darwy such a blow that his progeny for one hundred vears will have a headache. Old Sol has gone through the dark and devious ways of history and ‘yanked loose more ancestral timber ‘han Noah hed on his who:e blooming Ark. Of course folks don't say much when a cullud student sticks around the dark continent for family tradi- tions, but when he sticks Greece in his watch pocket, Rome in his inside ‘coat pock»t and then collects the rest ‘of the big show and hangs it on his hip, there is bound to be a holler. But that is just what Solomon has done. He has been long on the foolish stuff, but brothers end :isters, he hasn't let ‘the heavy bass slip by. For twenty _years he has been nosing around dusty ‘tombs and library corners where he ‘had no business, and now he is going to give you an earful of his awful ac- cumulutions; not awful on you, but aw- ful on the guy who has been telling you for several moons that you were nothing hut the wart behind the neck of history, Sol shows you where you're the face, the symetrical arms, ‘the big chest, the dainty waist, the shapely lege, and the number eleven feet, In fact. old Sol has crowded ‘everybody off the lines but vou, and ‘it is up to you to manifest apprecia- tion.

SKITS OF SOLOMON Himself TO A ROSEBUD Letters from Our Readers ABOUT THE OLD FOLKS HOME? | Some time ago one of the ladies conected with the Old Folks’ Home (for Colored people), came to our manager, Mr. William Lewis, to én- gage the First Regimental band U. R. of K. P,, to play for an entertain- ment to be given at the home com- mencing September 9. Mr. Lewis informed the lady that her cause was too sacred to have to pay for the services of the band, and therefore he would furnish the said | band free, | On the opening night thirty mem- lens of thé band met and played for |two hours in the yard of the home. |I regret to say that a band that drew at least ten thousand citizens on the courthouse lawn on September 12 only drew fifteen persons at the entertain- [ment given for the best movement now being conducted for’ our people in this city. I am not going to as sume that you don't care, because 1 believe you would care if you only knew the facts, or if you would stop and think what this home might mean to you or yours. Now keep in mind the fact that what I write here is only food for thought. For example, there is one inmate there that has lived in this city for possibly fifty years or more. As I understand her husband was a man of affairs in the old days, but through some misfortune reverses came and he died and left his widow in the hands of kind friends.» She has lived on and on until the friends are dead, gone or reduced to circum- stances that made it impossible for them to continue to look after her. So now she is spending her last days in a home created by her people and needless to say that she is happy. Now the point is this, The committee is in need of funds very badly. They were compelled to let the matron go, they are behind with all bills that are ‘essential to the maintenance of the ‘place. Are we going to sit by and see this splendid institution die for the want of bare necessities? I don’t want to think «0. My friends, you that are reading this, may outlive all of your relatives and friends, then where will you turn for comfort? Don't you think it will be wise to | invest a little time and money to per- petuate something that will be wait- ‘ing for you should you need it? Now you ask what can I do? | Well it will cost you twenty cents ‘to become a member and ten cents per month dues, Not very much, even if the cost of living is high. In America we think only of dollars, we never think of ten cents as being very much, but if one thousand of the present population will donate ten cents per month that will support the home very nicely. Let's all rally to the home and keep her going on safe waters. Now if you want to join this organ- ization just get in touch with the fol- lowing ladies: Mesdames Martha Smith, 1920 North 24th street; A. 1. Bowlei, 2709 North 28th avenue; Kate Wilson, 521 North 32d street. Oh, yes, you should join; you're not compelled to attend meetings, only send your dues. Respectfully, DAN DESDUNES. THE COLORED PRESS The Negro newspaper is beginning to wield great power. It required the great white race centuries to reach a place of merit which we have reached in less than half a century. One hun- dred years ago there was not a news- paper in America as well printed as the Broad Ax, nor better edited, and perhaps not as extensively read. Edu- cation of the masses has been the slogan upon which it has predicated its potency. Progress has risen out of oblivion to shine forever against the old order which Abraham Lincoln annihilated with his immortal pen. ‘The Negro press is becoming forci- ble and mighty, and has built itself upon the foundation of truth and hon- or, defying envy and all supping time. Today it stands intrenched by every noble qualification. Capable and praiseworthy, in fact, it has become a determining factor of our steady, de- velopment and progress, besides being a monitor, a guide, and defender of our race escutcheon, points the way like a sentinel on a watch tower o1 guiding like a lighthouse pointing the shoals and quicksands-—The Chicag¢ Broad Ax.

But the traders, the capitalists, were too strong for him, and sudden- ly the Herreros found themselves un- der strict military discipline, some- thing they had never before experi- enced and did not understand, ‘The German verboten appeared _every- where, and the natives were flogged. fined and imprisoned for attempting to continue in the freedom of the rights which had been theirs from time of mind. Protes’s to Courts Fruitless. Protests to German coionial courts brought neither relief nor justice; for the natives it beeame the sjambok humiliation and forced labor; for the German it was champagne, immunity and unbridled license. At last the Herreros preferred to die wholesale as warriors instead of piecemeal as slaves. ‘They rebelled in 1904, and for two years the bush ran red with the bloodiest race war known ‘to history. The Germans deliberate- ly and systematically set out to de- ‘stroy a race with their cruelty and repeated oppression could not subdue. Gen. von Trotha was in supreme command of the German forces, and his conduct in the field was marked by a fiendishness new even for a Ger- ‘man. No matter what were the bar- barities of the Hereres, the Hun out- ‘savaged them at every turn, and on October 20, 1904, General von Trotha issaed his infamous proclamation: “I, the great general of the Ger- man sold‘ers, send this letter to the Herero nation, The Hereros are no longer German subjects.

So fiendish were his acts that he became the object of bitter attacks by the social democrats at home, but he was vigorously defended by the imperial chancellor in the Reichstag on Decem- ber 8, 1905, when it was officially stated that he had “given proof of meat humanity during the period of h's command!” Mereros Practically Wiped Out.

This balance of power created in the colonial field will, by removing future porsibilities of conflict, consti- tute one of the best guarantees for lasting world peace!” Germany was never more brutally and frankly Prussian than when this pedagogue, this mothpiuece of the All Highest and the rest of the Potsdam ang so put himself on record.

Fourth Liberty Loan Is an investment with absolute security and good interest. When you buy Liberty Bonds, you make a loan to your government. You do not spend the money you put in Liberty Bonds—you do not give it to your country—you are simply lending your dollars to be repaid with interest. No matter how many Liberty Bonds you may have already, buy again. Your money, the money of every one of us is needed. Offer your purse as the boys at the front offer their lives. Do your part to win this war. Help your country to victory. Buy your Liberty Bonds early. Any Bank, Trust Company or Savings or Building and Loan Association will help you.

H, Broomfield, generally known as Jack, has accumulated him- self a farm of eighty acres near Fort Calhoun. Just what Jack thinks he can do with a farm is a matter of pro- found speculation, but the interesting part of the performance is what the farm is going to do to Jack. There ure no two ways about it, it is some farm. If Jack makes as good a farm- er as he does a farm chooser, he'll be president of an agricultural co!- lege before he has to shake the mitt of old St. Peter. We congratulate him upon this great acqu’sition and in- dulge in the pleasant hope that he may yet nut our teeth in some of his corn, smack our lips ¢ Ff some of the apples from his orchard and juggle a drumst’ck that belonged to one of his yellow-legged Shanghais, If we ean wish him more luck than that, let's do it, Among the many things given for Mr. Harold Bentley, who left for Camp Pike, Ark., Wednesday, was the break- fast given Wednesday morning by his mother, Mre.

Your’s or the soldier's? Are you going to save sugar or are you going to waste it? Are you going to use the smalicst ‘amount of sugar possible, or are you going to continue to use sugar as you ‘did in the days before the war? | Saving sugar here means sugar over there, and ships to carry it, from here to there, You probably have heard that there is no shortage of sugar, gind that the raw sugar output is as big, if not bigger than ever, and someone has told you that there is no need of sav- ing sngar. This is the most insidious sort of German propaganda because it is partly true and partly false. | The shortage in sugar in this coun- try is not due to any shortage in sugar crop, but to a shortage of ships. Seventy-five per cent of the sugar used in this country has to be car. ried here on ships. ‘These same ships are needed to transport our troops, our munitions, and the food for the allies and our soldiers and sailors to France. Part of these sugar carrying ships have been transferred to more important carrier service. This has resulted in a largely lessened import tonnage of sugar here. Our soldiers and sailors and the allies must be supplied with sugar. That supply must come out of our limited supply here. No law has been asked to compel the individual to apportion his supply of sugar in a sensible, logical and unselfish manner. ‘The food administration merely asks you to save. What are you going to do about it? SOME FARMER IN WHO'S CUP? | . South Side Notes Mr, PR. L. Woodward returned home Friday night from Excelsior Springs, Mo.,-where he spent a fortnight recu- Rev. J.
