DUTY OF CHURCH
OF PEACE AND
Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, Delivered Able Address Under the Auspices of the Protestant Episcopal League of the District of Columbia, Stressing Important Work Before Christian Forces of America.
(Special to The Monitor by Walter J. Singleton.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 22
—The address delivered by Dr. Emmett J. Scott before the Protestant Episcopal League of the Diocese of Washington at St. Monica's chapel recently on the duty of "The Duty of the Church to Problems of Peace and Reconstruction," was a remarkable talk from man to man, and he received an enthusiastic reception at its close. Dr. Scott said in part: "It is an honor to be invited to speak to this representative group of gentlemen who constitute the Protestant Episcopal League, and it is peculiarly pleasing to be the first of our racial group to deliver an address at the opening of three meetings held during each year to churchmen.
"The Episcopal Church has ever stood in the very forefront of those agencies which have sought to bring about a better day for colored Americans in this country. Not only have special efforts been made to see that well educated men are placed in charge of all of our churches throughout our country, but it has also in a very real way sought to bring about an educated pew with an educated pulpit.
"Some of the most representative men of our race in this country are members of your great church, and we lok forward to the great triennial meetings of the Episcopal Church, knowing that out of such will issue legislation which will reach and influence the whole life of the Negro people, whether connected with the protestant Episcopal Church or not—for the influence of such an agency as this transcends mere ecclesiastical creed and reaches out and influences forward-looking men wherever they be.
"The election of a colored bishop for Haiti at the recent convention is cause for special congratulation and is, I am sure, in keeping with the policy of electing suffragan bishops for racial groups, the beginning of that policy which will eventually place in the hands of the colored people themselves as education and character come to be recognized and to be felt, larger and larger duties of administration inside of the church by colored men.
"I should simply weary your patience with facts and statistics with which you are already familiar, if I should attempt to call attention to a miscellaneous lot of statistical data. With these facts you are already well acquainted, and so I content myself merely with a tribute to the wonderful church organization which in so stalwart, Christianlike a manner seeks to recognize in every part of our country 'The Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man.'
The Period of Reconstruction and Readinstrument.
"We have just come to the end of a great conflict which has wrought many and great changes in all parts of our country—in all parts of the world.
"The life of our racial group has been touched and changed probably more than that of any other in America. Differences of opinion have been forgotten in the face of national emergency and need, and on every hand co-operation was the watchword of the hour. A great war has brought with it serious and perplexing problems, and at the same time tremendous responsibilities and great opportunities.
"We have met every test. We have subordinated personal and private grievances and hushed angry contention among ourselves, that we might present to a common enemy a front united and unbroken.
"In every part of our great country we have learned to work together for the common good of our country.
"I think it may well be said that the Colored American in this war for liberty and world-wide democracy has been a notable and inspiring figure.

THE MONITOR
A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS. THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. Editor
He realized from the beginning that in the effort to overthrow German autocracy, every element of our population would have to take a laboring oar, and this war has truly been a 'people's war.'
"Just think of it. Nearly 400,000 colored men, strong, courageous and patriotic, were engaged in the great world war—here and overseas. As I have stated, they were enrolled in practically every branch of the United States army, some of them were brigaded with French troops—took part in the greatest war that the mind of man can remember—a war that was fought for the greatest cause or purpose to which human hearts can be devoted. And be it said to their everlasting credit, they gave a splendid account of themselves wherever placed.
"Many of them (whole groups and regiments of them) were decorated by the French government with the Croix de Guerre and had conferred upon them the highest honors that a grateful republic could bestow.
"During the great world war (as in many other crises of our nation's history) the Negro race in this country laid on the altar of their country's need their strength, their skill, their influence, the limit of their means, their uninterrupted loyalty—in order to bring victory to the 'Stars and Stripes,' the only flag they have ever claimed, or will ever claim as their own.
"Grim visaged and ruthless as it was, the war has afforded the Negro people of this country an opportunity once more to prove their unbounded, unfaltering loyalty—their 100 per cent Americanism and to demonstrate their immunity from insidious German propaganda.
"When war was declared April 6th, 1917, the Negro quickly recognized the fact that it was not to be a white man's war—not a black man's war—but a war of all the people living under the Stars and Stripes—for the preservation of human liberty throughout the world.
"In the brief time allotted me it will, of course, be impossible to indicate fully the extent to which Colored Americans participated in the great world war (so various and valuable their patriotic activities).
Problems of Peace and Reconstruction
"It may be interesting and we will have for you to consider some of the reconstruction problems now facing the church, as summarized in a statement recently issued by the Federal Council of Churches. There problems are stated substantially as follows:
"First, in urgency and importance, is our responsibility for the care of returning soldiers. We must see to it that among the agencies that are ready to welcome them back the Church holds her rightful place.
"As we follow the trail of these returning soldiers, we find that it leads us out into a wide circle of interests and touches at least at some point every phase of the Church's responsibility and duty. We need to help these boys of ours back to their places in human society as wage-earners.
"We must help them keep the moral standard which they have gained in their enthusiasm for the war. (They will return, let us hope, both physically and mentally benefited by reason of their military training and experience.) We must relate them so far as we can to the local church so that they may become a part of the common life of organized Christianity."
"I was particularly pleased to see the Federal Council of Churches take much a high and broad ground when they publicly issued the following statement:
"We have a duty to men of other races who for the first time, under the unifying influence of army training have been learning what it means to be American citizens. These men have been learning what it means to be American citizens. These men have been studying our language, entering into the spirit of our history, but they are going back into environments where the process of Americanization is not yet complete, and we must meet these men with a plan of action that shall change the environ- (Continued on Page Two)

RACE PRESS RESENTS BLANKET CHARGES
Baltimore Newspapers Deny Radicalism and Frankly State Principles for Which They Stand—Constitutional Rights Their Platform.
of Arkansas, Little Rock, Ark.: one who has always had high faith, your courage and sense of justice, a who has admired the liberal attitude which you have expressed in rega to the Negro, I am appealing to you commute to life imprisonment t
BALTIMORE. Md., Nov. 22. In reply to the report on radical newspaper filed with Attorney General Palmer in Washington alleging that radical Negro papers—which are not named—are stirring up colored folks to opposing the government, concerted action is planned by the four colored newspaper of this city. It is expected that an announcement will be issued stating that in the country-wide round-up of I. W. W. and other red agitators, not a single colored person has been arrested or even suspected in Baltimore and Maryland. The Negro press of this city rightly resents blanket accusations directed against all colored newspapers and calls upon the Department of Justice to call the names of those journals it would "damn" as radicals. The four colored newspapers in Baltimore stand for:
1. The right of Negroes to vote and hold public office.
2. The right to sit on petit, grand and coroner's juries.
3. Equal school facilities.
4. Abolishment of the Jim Crow car.
5. The right to purchase property and live anywhere without molestation.
6. The right of Negro labor to organize.
7. The right of accused persons to "due process of law" and the punishment of mobs.
Far from opposing the government, colored newspapers here are but advocating the rights guaranteed to all citizens by the constitution of the United States.
MAJOR SPINGARN PROTESTS
TO GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS
Urges Commutation of Death Penalty
Imposed on Eleven Negroes.
(Special to The Monitor)
(Special to the Monitor)
New York, Nov. 17.—Urging as a service to the nation, the commutation to life imprisonment of death sentences imposed upon eleven Negroes in Arkansas, Major J. E. Spingarn, late of the A. E. F. in France, has telegraphed Governor Charles H. Brough of Arkansas. Major Spingarn urges the commutation in order that further light on the recent race riots in Arkansas may be obtained before "Ireparable wrong" is done.
The telegram reads:
"Hon. Charles H. Brough, Governor
of Arkansas, Little Rock, Ark.: As one who has always had high faith in your courage and sense of justice, and who has admired the liberal attitude which you have expressed in regard to the Negro, I am appealing to you to commute to life imprisonment the sentence of the eleven Negroes recently condemned to death. From testimony obtained by two persons actually on the ground, I am convinced that the interest of justice would best be served by this commutation, in order that an irreparable wrong may not be done before further light on the whole subject is obtained. As a patriotic American I should hate to have the fair name of Arkansas subject even to the suspicion of having done a grave injustice, at a time when more than ever the relations of white and black men should be on a basis of fair play and mutual understanding. You have it in your power to perform a national service at this crisis, and I feel sure that you will not shrink from doing it.—J. E. Spingarn."
ESTABLISHMENT OF BANK PROPOSED
Preliminary Steps Taken for Organization of Strong Financial Institution—Capitalization to be $1,000,000
(By Associated Negro Press)
New York, N. Y., Nov. 23.—Plans for the establishment of a bank for Negroes in New York were discussed at a meeting of business men of the race held recently in Lafayette hall, Harlem. Augusta Duncan, the originator of the idea, presided and preliminary funds to the amount of $10,000 were subscribed. The bank as proposed is to be capitalized for $1,000,000 and to be situated in Harlem. A committee of twenty-five headed by Junius M. Green, was chosen to proceed with the campaign for subscribers. It was also decided to form a business corporation to stimulate trade by Negroes between the United States and the West Indies and South America. Those in charge of the two projects stated that they are acting independently of any existing Negro organization.
EIGHTY-SEVEN NEGROES
CONVICTED AFTER RIOT
Helena. Ark., Nov. 21.—Sheriff F. F. Kitchens and eleven deputies leave Helena Saturday in charge of eighty-seven Negroes, seventy-five of whom were convicted of participation in the insurrection last October. Twelve of the seventy-five have been sentenced to die by electrocution and eleven were given penal sentences of twenty-one years each.

ACCUSED ASSAILANT OF
MAYOR SMITH OUT
UNDER HEAVY BOND
George Davis Released From County Jail When $14,000 Surety Bond is Furnished—Heaviest Surety Demanded by Criminal Court.
Under what is said to be the heaviest bond ever put up on a criminal case in the district court of Douglas county, George Davis, alleged assailant of Mayor Smith in the court house riot of September 28, was released from the county jail Saturday by District Judge Redick to await trial.
The bond was $14,000. It was signed by Catherine Campbell, 1512 North Twenty-eighth street, and Ben Handler, 115 Turner boulevard.
Davis was arrested in Lincoln about three weeks ago. He was indicted by the grand jury on four charges, as follows: Assault to murder and assault to do great bodily injury; conspiracy to commit murder, and unlawful assemblage and rioting.
The bond of the first two charges which relate to his alleged assault on Mayor Smith was fixed at $7,500; on the third charge at $5,000, and on the fourth at $1,500.
Mayor Smith declared that he was positive that Davis is one of the men who attacked him during the riot. Davis denies it and says he was at home during the riot. Morris Borsky was also released under $5,000 bond to await trial on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder and $1,500 bond on a charge of unlawful assemblage and rioting.
IMPORTANT WORK AMONG
WOMEN BY Y, W, C, A.
Allentown, Pa., Nov. 22.—The committee on colored work of the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association reports 49 centers for colored women and girls now in operation in various parts of the United States, seven of the centers being industrial ones. Total membership in these centers numbers 12,000 women of which 4,000 are girl reserves—teen age girls—3,000 of the total number being industrial workers. During the last two years between 25,000 and 35,000 women have been reached through these centers.

EXTRACTS from the report of the grand jury follows:
To the Honorable, the Judges of the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District, within and for Douglas County, Nebraska:
Attention of His Honor, Judge W. A. Redick, Presiding:
We, the grand jury, duly called, and having taken oath as such, on the 8th day of October, 1919, beg leave to submit herewith our final report.
This report is arranged under the following heads, to-wit:
General. Summary of work done. Reports of visits to the county hospital, county jail, city jail, Detention home and Juvenile home. Investigation as to causes of the riot. Recommendations:
Legislative. Commission. Police department. Communications. Commendations. Conclusion.
We presume that previous grand juries have had evidence presented to them of many and various kinds of crimes. In this respect their experience and that of this grand jury is similar.
In addition it remained to this grand jury to secure and consider evidence in connection with a class of crimes and during a condition of the public mind, such as no grand jury in this county has ever had to do before, and we hope no other will ever be called upon to do again.
We refer particularly to the unlawful, destructive and disgraceful acts of persons in this city on the night of September 28, 1919.
These acts resulted in a nearly fatal attack on Mayor Smith.
Assaults on police officers.
The burning of the court house.
The burning and destruction of public records and documents.
Injuries to prisoners and innocent persons.
The cowardly lynching of a defenseless man, etc.
We have endeavored, to the best of our ability, and with the means at our command to indict any and all persons who were probably guilty of said unlawful acts.
If we failed to indict all such persons the reasons, therefor, lie in some or all of the obstacles to such indictments, as:
(1) We have been unable to learn of any eye witness who could identify the persons who killed William Brown.
(2) We had sufficient evidence that persons put a rope around Mayor Smith's neck, beat him over the head with a revolver and otherwise assaulted him and we returned indictments covering as many of these unlawful acts as we thought probably guilty.
(3) We have been unable to learn of any eye witness who could identify the man who broke in the windows of the court house, with an iron bar, although there was testimony to the effect that it was skillfully and coolly done by an unidentified man.
(4) We have had evidence that persons in the mob were under the influence of liquor, yet there was no evidence whatever presented to disclose the source of supply of any liquor.
Can't Find Some.
(5) We have been unable to learn the identity of all the persons who actually set the court house and its records on fire, though we did find a few and indicted them therefor.
(6) We were unable to find all the persons who broke in the doors of the court house and unlawfully entered said building. We find a few and as their guilt was probable we indicted them.
(7) We have been unable to learn the identity of certain persons who assaulted police officers.
(8) We realize that it will be said that if the grand jury fails to indict the guilty, what is there to prevent the recurrence of another or other mobs?
(9) Neither this nor any other grand jury can properly indict without evidence of probable guilt.
(10) The evidence obtained in these cases has been secured through the greatest effort by skilled investigators and with painstaking examination.

DUTY OF THE CHURCH
TO PROBLEMS OF PEACE
AND RECONSTRUCTION
(Coninued from Page One)
have done such noble service in the
cause of democracy. They are going
back into communities which must be
made ready to receive them and in this
preparation the Church has a work to
do of unique importance.’
“po my mind. no portion of the
program mapped out by the Federal
Council of Churches is more timely or
deserving of consideration than that
which refers to the duty of the Church
to help soften sentiment in favor of
the colored people of the United
States and to help in a definite, prac-
tical way to provide for the essential
needs and to safeguard the interests
‘of our returning soldiers who went to
France (considered by many) as
‘American Negroes, but, who returned,
thank God, as full-fledged Americans.
“No portion of this program will
call for more downright statesman-
ship, courage and (shall I say) real
Christianity than the matter of work-
ing out those problems which hedge
colored Americans about in all that
concerns their better life.
“and when the Federal Council
refers to the notable services rendered
py colored Americans in the cause of
freedom and democracy, be it remem-
pered that this of necessity includes
not only the splendid services rend-
ered by colored soldiers who took part
in practically every branch of mili-
tary service on the battle-scarred field
‘of France, but it also includes the al-
most heroic and self-sacrificing serv-
fees rendered all over this country by
colored civilians, by ministers, teach-
ers and other leaders of thought and
opinion, including the noble women of
‘our race who have helved to keep alive
the fires of patriotism—despite mis-
givings and fears as to their own fu-
tures—all loyally uniting in one grand
‘and successful effort to dethrone au-
tocracy and aggression in order that
Uiberty and freedom might come to all
the world, and in the liberty of which
we have spoken so much during the
pending war, we undoubtedly expect
our rightful share. May I say to be-
gin with, that the country owes a dis-
tinct debt to her soldiers, black and
white alike, because of the service
they have rendered in the hour of na-
tional need, and because of the sacri-
fices they have so willingly made that
Mberty and freedom might be vouch-
safed to us and to oppressed people
throughout the world.
“The situation with respect to the
Negro soldier, particularly, is on¢
which must be faced frankly anc
squarely. In some respects a crucial
hour has come and many issues thai
some of the more conservative amont
us would rather postpone, must b«
settled now—for all time.
“As I have frequently stated, no on
expects the millenium to be brough’
over night, but the returned soldier:
in common With those of the twely
million American Negroes who hav
done their bit on this side of th
‘ocean, have a right to expect a large
measure of abstract justice and :
more generous consideration of thei
constitutional. prerogatives than hav
been accorded by the powers of thi
nation in the past.
“The approaching period of peace
with its problems of reconstructior
rehabilitation and readjustment, mus
be faced in a spirit of candor an
proad-gauged justice on the part of al
concerned. The change of our sol
diers—representing every phase o
variegated national life—presents
task requiring the best thought for it
proper handling and solution, Takin
it for all in all, the problems of peace
as I have already indicated, are equal
ly, if not more complex, than the prob
Jems of war. ‘The watches of th
night are past; the watches of the da:
begin.’
“At a time like this the counsels 0
wisdom suggest that there should b
a well-ordered program tending to as
sure colored Americans, as well a
white Americans in every part of thi
country a full share of the blessing
of freedom, liberty and the pursuit
happiness.
“Among the essentials that mus
make for a judicious and permanen
readjustment between the new Negri
‘and the new nation, on behalf of «
race of ten million colored Americans
than whom no racial group has eve
_ been more useful or more loyal, maj
I suggest the following:
(1) Lynchings tn all parts of ou
country should be stamped out as +
" menace to the nation and the majest:
— and fair opportunities for the
exercise of God-given talents afforded
‘in the trade markets of the nation.
“(5) Persistent inculcation of les-
sons of thrift, industry, sense of re-
sponsibility, reliability in the dis-
charge of all trusts, absolute honesty,
discipline of self, and the value and
Mecessity of participation in the help-
ful activities of one's own community.
“These are a few of the essentia!
things the school, the Church and the
‘state must endeavor to bring about
for the consummation of such a pro-
gram will inure to the benefit of each
and all of them,
“We must not become discouraged
‘Despite every handicap, we must press
forward.”
SPECIAL GRAND JURY
MAKES FINAL REPORT
Sena eee eo eee
(11) We have sadly lacked the
willing testimony of eve witnesses
who ave supposed to be on the side
of law and order, but have remained
strangely silent, and have not vol-
unteered their knowledge to assist in
bringing the probably guilty to justice
by trial. Outside of the police and
other public officials of the city and
county we have had but few persons
voluntarily appear before us and give
testimony that would enable us to es-
tablish the probable guilt of persons
connected with the riot. +
Summary of Work Done.
There were 195 cases considered.
These cases cover a range of 34 in-
dictable crimes as shown by the ap-
pendix hereto. There were 120 per-
sons indicted. There were 535 wit-
nesses examined. The grand jury was
‘in session 36 days.
Causes of the Riot.
‘The contributing causes are many
and are known to a large part of the
public, as well as to this jury. They
are:
First: Unmentionable crimes and
assaults upon women and girls.
Second: Contempt for law and
“constituted authority, no matter how
‘such contempt was engendered.
Third: Organized and strong prop-
aganda existing and prevalent whose
purpose is the downfall of our institu-
‘tions, the destruction of our economic
| policies, and the engendering of class
hatred. Tt matters not by what name
this effort is called, its purpose Is no
less deadly whether it be styled I. W.
Waism, bolshevism, sovietism, 07
“anarchy, or whether it be preached
| from a soap box, or in luxurious par:
lors.
| Fourth: The general prevalence
(of the greatest social unrest that
ever before existed. The people ar
irritated and restless. The reason:
|for this condition are many. A few
|may be eited, particularly, for ex
| ample:
(a) The high cost of living.
| (b) The difference between labo
| and capital with resultant strikes anc
[lockouts of unusual number and de
gree.
(c) The unsettled condition con
fronting the unsettled soldier, thei
|condition of mind and attitude of thé
| public toward them.
Minds Strongly Diverted.
Four million of the young men of
‘this country have had their minds
‘strongly diverted from normal aims
= pursuits and find it difficult to
concentrate upon previous duties.
‘Many are dissatisfied and wonderfully
changed from the boys of three years
‘ago. They require the greatest con-
sideration tnd assistance to restore
them to their normal habits and
‘thought. Their experience with war
and the ruthless punishment inflicted
‘upon their country’s enemies is. still
‘present in their minds, and they are
consequently fast to act upon impulse
when they believe crime is unpun-
‘thet
Cauiliioes
To the People of Douglas County:
We have a great county and city
here, and unusual opportunities. These
carry heavy responsibilities which the
citizenship must not shirk,
There are many conditions requir-
ing improvement which this grand
jury cannot investigate even, owing
to its limitations. Every good citi-
zen should assist in correcting bad
conditions by advocating impartial,
efficient and honest enforcement of
all laws and ordinances, or else theit
prompt repeal. Nonenforcement of
laws is fraught with danger to so-
ciety.
We deplore the conditions of par-
tisanship and consequent adverse ad-
vertising of the city whieh such par-
tisanship brings to us.
We find that the condition pre-
vails at this time the people and the
press should unite in the common pur-
pose of boosting and helping Omaha.
‘The welfare of our whole city is
of greater importance than that of
any individual or group of individuals.
We should suppress scandal and
frown on seandalmongers of whatever
degree or station.
Should “Get Together.”
Let capital and labor, the high and
low, rich and poor, work together for
the protection of our homes and the
honor of the city. Let us stand shoul-
der to shoulder, and may the press
with friendly and helpful counsel aid
THE MONITOK
and assist us to meet any menace
even to the deadly menace of the Red
fens
Is it not worth more to residents
‘that a city shall advance in its care
‘of human life, in its standard of liv-
‘ing, in its efficieney in making taxes
promote public good? Growth is
worth while; stagnation is bad. But
‘we have cities which have grown so
‘much faster than they have learned
‘how to live.
Tt is always easy to blame some-
‘one or something when things go
wrong. We should be as prone to
praise good acts and efforts.
"There is much to commend when
‘it is understood that the task of main.
taining law and order and ferreting
out crime is harder than before the
war, Now the people are confronted
with the high cost of living, heavy
taxes, many strikes, many unspeak-
able crimes and incendiary speech and
acts.
These are abnormal times. A great-
er spirit of unrest prevails in this
nation than ever before. It may only
take a spark to light a great conflag-
ration, Therefore those who counsel
should speak wisely, in moderation,
and above all stand strongly for law
and order. The governing authorities
must be supported and where criti-
cism is needed, let it be helpful and
constructive. All this lest the great-
est government ever organized “of
the people, by the people and for the
people” shall not perish from the
aeekis.

National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People tele-

The Grand Place and Cathedral,
JOURNAT, the oldest city in
Belgium, once the capital of
the Merovingian kings, is
truly a city of romance,
Whether we think of the tomb of Chil-
deric, the father of Clovis, with its
wonderful treasures, discovered after
being lost to sight for nearly 1,200
years, or of the poor, deluded youth,
Perkin Warbeck, the tool of the York-
ists, and through them brought to an
ignominious death, says a writer in
Sphere. For us in England perhaps
its primary interest centers in its be-
Ing the birthplace of Perkin, whose
real name was Pierce Osbeck. ‘This
strange impostor was the son of a
simple Flemish weaver. Made a pup-
pet of by some of the Yorkist party, In-
cluding Margaret of York, dowager
duchess of Burgundy, to personate
Richard Duke of York, whom they de-
clared had not been murdered in the
Tower with his brother, but had es-
eaped and been concealed, only await-
ing an opportunity to declare his royal
birth, he succeeded for a time In ex-
citing a formidable revolt against the
king, Henry VII.
After many strange adventures ant
much {ll success, In spite of the recog-
nition of his claims by the kings of
Scotland and France, Perkin, finding
himself insufficiently supported in his
sorry fraud and realizing that he “had
not the heart of @ king,” but only “the
heart of a weaver's son,” made confes-
sion of his imposture and was im-
prisoned in the Tower. Soon after, on
attempting to eseape, he was hanged
at Tyburn, finishing with a rope round
his neck instead of the promised crown
upon his head.
Tomb of Childeric.
An interest wholly different from
this passing futile deception, however
romantic some of {ts circumstances
may have been, attaches to ‘Tournal
when we think of it as the seat of the
Merovingian kings. In 1653 some
workmen, whilst digging foundations
for a hospital, came upon a collection
of gold ornaments, a sword mounted

with gold, some remains af human
bones and a gold signet ring bearing
the inscription, “Childiriel.” Here was
the key to discovery, for the presence
of the ring led experts to consider that
this was the burial place of Chylderie,
king of the Salian Prangs, whose capl-
tal Was at ‘Tournal, and who died in
481,
This conjecture was further strength-
ened by an examination of the differ-
ent objects, which Were of such fine
workmanship that they could only
have been wronght for some great
chief or royal personage, ‘The hilt and
seabbard of the sword were mounted
with gold, enriched with a mosaiq of
garnets and other precious stones held
in gold cloisons. Gold ornaments in
the form of bees, and having the wings
outlined with an inlay of garnets set
in gold, and also a small votive object
in the form of a bull's head, with the
solar disk on the foreflead, recalling
Mycenean examples, formed part af
the treasure, and on the ring bearing
the king’s name was engraved the head
of a man with the long, straight hair
worn by the Meroyingians, and with
the gold torque or collar round his
neck. Perhaps this was meant for a
representation, a8 near as might be, of
Childerie,
‘This rare treasure, after changing
hands two or thre times, eventually
found its way to the Cabinet des Me-
dailles, Paris, In 1831 thieves, In an
evil hour, broke in and stole almost
the whole of it, leaving behind them
only the mounting of the sword, two
golden bees, a fibula and a few stray
fragments,
The golden bees had been discovered
in considerable numbers, and were
thought to have decorated the royal
robes, and it is interesting to recall
that Napoleon, ever entering into the
spirit of historical display, chose this
decoration for his coronation robes.
Has Beautiful Buildings.
Tournal claims to be the oldest of
the cities of Belgium, and is certainly
one of the most interesting and most
pleturesqne, and contains a large num-
ber of beautiful buildings. ‘There has
always been great sympathy between
the people of Tournai and the French,
and much Intercourse between the
town and Lille, just across the fron-
ther,
In the Grande p.ace stands a statue
of the Princess d’Epinoy, who distin-
guished herself in the defense of
‘Tournai against Alexandro Farnese in
1581, She fought in full armor and
saved the town by her energy and
courage, ‘The beautiful cathedral is
one of the finest examples of the Ro-
manesque type of architecture, and
challenges comparison with the splen-
did qhurches of northern France.
CANNOT RANK AS DIPLOMAT
General Smuts Disqualified Himself
by His Unseemly Employment
of Plain Language.
The language of the law is the most
formal in the world and the most pre-
cise, It seeks the definite so ardently
that, with its repetitions and where-
ases, It confuses its own message and
only that rather perverted form of in-
tellect, the legal mind, can wind
through its labyrinthine verbiage. The
language of diplomacy, borrowing
something of formality from the law,
is nevertheless far more dignified. ‘The
law deals merely with estates and pri-
vate contracts. It decrees the fate of
the individual. But the fate of na-
tions may hang on the phraseology of
diplomacy. Its greater importance has
imparted to its dition greater dignity.
And the purpose of words in diplomat-
ie exthanges being to conceal thought,
as Talleyrand said, the language of
chancelleries 1s far more liquid. It
must fit the cust of the particular dle
jnto which it is poured.
So we must conclude that General
Smuts is not a diplomat, He has not
the diplomatic method of expression.
When the general met a diplomat,
wained in the school of Metternich, t®
discuss informally a separate peace
with Austria, he put the question of
such @ peace squarely to the be-
ribboned, bestarred representative.
‘There was hesitation and equivoca-
tion, “Good-night!” was the general's
exclamation a8 he left the confused
diplomat,
General Smu(s may not wear shirt
sleeves in diplomatte councils, but
this use of the vernacular shows that
his verbinge at least takes its cont
off, The aeld toucn of a bit of slang
put an end to the prolonged ambigul-
ties and decelts of which diplomacy
fg so fond.
“You should work for something be-
sides money.”
“If you mention something besides
money that my grocer and coal man
will take, I'll be glad to work for it.”
Mutual Help.
“I understand from what your wife
says you help each other with the
house bills.”
“Sure we do. She hands me the
bills and I foot them.”

THE ROOSEVELT CREED
BELIEVE in honesty, sincerity and the square deal; in making up one's mind what to do—and doing it.
I believe in fearing God and taking one's own part.
I believe in hitting the line hard when you are right.
I believe in speaking softly and carrying a big stick.
I believe in hard work and honest sport.
I believe in a sane mind in a sane body.
I believe we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.
THIS is the caption of a sane, frank and fearless editorial which was recently published in The Los Angeles Times, perhaps the most influential daily on the Pacific coast. It is certainly one of the fairest-minded and largest visioned newspapers in the country. The Times says most forcefully and truthfully the thing that needs to be said in these troubulous times, when there seems to be a concerted plan to brand our men as rapists. This damnable propaganda was carried with malicious intent to France, where the splendid conduct and manly self-restraint of our brave black troopers stamped it as a lie. It has been revived in our homeland and again with malicious intent. Therefore it is most gratifying to find influential newspapers seeking to counteract the injury done us by the wide circulation of libelous reports. When tempted to become bitter and resentful, take heart and be grateful for the friends of truth and justice who have the courage to give wide publicity to words like these in The Los Angeles Times:
"Through it all, white people should keep their minds clear and not permit themselves to make the mistakes of thinking that all Negroes are alike. When some degenerate Negro assaults a white woman and is lynched for it, while people who do not think deeply come to the conclusion that every Negro would assault a white woman if he did not stand in fear of lynching.
"Nothing could be farther from the truth than this conclusion. Anyone who knows the Negro people knows it is not true. The Negro who assaults or who desires to assault white women is the exception. We do not fear to say that this kind of Negro numbers only one in 10,000. And that is just as good an average as white people can claim.
"The fact is that the average Negro is not at all attracted by white women. We are to remember that there have been and still are white men who prefer Negro women to their own race. One of the greatest lawyers America has ever known was one of these.
"Neither are we to forget that during the civil war the cultured white women of the south were left wholly at the mercy of Negro guardians while their men folks were away in the battlefields. And these women were not violated. The Negro then answered for himself and his answer was sublime."
THE GRAND JURY'S REPORT.
THE report of the grand jury, called to investigate and fix the responsibility for the lynching and rioting of September 28th, is disappointing. It failed, lamentably and miserably, to do anything of the sort. True, some 120 persons were indicted, chiefly for minor offenses and, doubtless, some few of those indicted will be punished; but, for one cause and another, the grand jury was unable to secure evidence, direct and convincing, against many who were either suspected or accused of being ring leaders. The report laments the inability of the jurors to secure the evidence which they believe exists and would have enabled them to have reached a more satisfactory conclusion. Responsibility for the riot has not been definitely fixed. Here the report straddles.
John W. Towle, the foreman, in his letter of transmission, frankly states that the report is a compromise and does not express his own convictions. With much of the report he is not in accord. Evidently he believes that the grand jury, if it had so desired, could have definitely fixed responsibility. The Monitor regrets that all the members of the grand jury were not men of the calibre of its capable and conscientious foreman. Perhaps it is the part of charity to say that the grand jury did the very best that it could under the conditions, but that there were powerful

t one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty
influence at work to either obstruct
its securing of the truth or of frankly
expressing it, is quite apparent. The
report is disappointing and clearly
proves that the lines must be drawn
in this community between those who
want the truth and stand for law and
order and those who are opposed. It
must be evident, too, to all what
forces will ultimately triumph.
GROWTH TOWARD MATURITY
IT IS refreshing and enhearting to notice in many of the leading publications of the country a recognition of the changing status of our race. It is true we have, en masse, a long way to go and much to learn, but the encouraging fact is that we are moving in the right direction. We are fast putting away childish things and coming to the full stature of thoughtful, self-respectful, purposeful manhood. And one of the evidences of this growth toward maturity is the increasing demand and respect for fearless and constructive leadership.
The Outlook of New York, which stands in the very forefront of national weekly magazines, calls attention to this development in a recent editorial. This is what The Outlook says:
"The Negroes of the nation respect and honor their leaders who speak out fearlessly and constructively, not only condemning all forms of economic and social justice practiced by white people, but also in condemning all forms of narrowness or bitterness which are found among black people.
"Those whites who are inclined to proceed on the assumption that the entire Negro race represents a 'child' group need to realize that on account of the recent migration of half a million Negroes from the south, the world war, and other forces, including various propaganda agencies, Negroes in increasing numbers have come rather quickly to man's estate, and must be dealt with as mature, thoughtful determined men and women."
"STAR SHOOT," NOTED
RACE HORSE. DEAD
Belonged to the Famous Stable of J. B. Madden Who Placed Great Confidence in Judgment of Two Notable Negro Horsemen and Well Known Jockey.
(Special to The Monitor)
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 26.—Star Shoot, owned by J. B. Madden, Lexington, Ky., and sire of Sir Barton, Star Master, Audacious, David Harum, Star Court and other widely known American race horses, died of pneumonia at Hamburg farm, near Lexington, Wednesday, November 19. He was 21 years old. In four of his eight years as a sire, he has led the list of winning sires. His son, Sir Barton, is the leading money winner so far this year. Star Shoot was foaled in England in 1898 and was by Isinglass.
J. B. Madden, the famous breeder of race horses, owes a great deal of his success to his reliance upon the judgment of three Negroes, who have been long identified with his stables. These men are Dudley Allen, familiarly known as "Uncle Dick," Dick Harris, widely known as "Brown Dick," great trainers and judges of horse flesh; and William Walker, famous as a jockey and trainer. Walker sprang into prominence some years ago as the rider of Ten Broeck against Molly McCarty. Mr. Madden would select the yearlings for his stables very largely upon the advice of "Uncle Dud" and "Brown Dick," whose judgment as to good horse flesh and what it could do on the turf seemed to many phenomenal.

Flashes of Most Anything
OUT of the land of our fathers fathers comes a clarion call to Pride of Race and the glory that comes by inheritance:
"BECAUSE"
Because ye do elect to sit with folded hands.
Or endeavor made to uplift and make noble
The heritage bequeathed
On you—but sit dreaming all day long—
So shall your indolence, grown heavy
With the years past,
Fall with o'erwhelming force,
As an Alpine avalanche upon you and yours—
And crush you into oblivion
Because ye have failed to do your part.
Because you're black!
What boots it—
Black? Your race has in the ancient days
Deeds noble, unselfish—and true-hearted done.
What have ye done?
O'er the Seven Seas they've sailed
And climbed the highest hills
That tower unto the skies—
Day dreams, your only work.
Up!—awake!—awake!—
'Tis in your hands to make or mar,
Embellish in the scroll of fame or besmirch
Yea, a thousand others of Africa's sons,
Have faced the odds and won the crown.
All races of the earth, stirred to their soul's being,
Are chafing at the iron bands that bind them.
Oh, that the windows of my soul
And I could weep, tears hot and burning for you!
Shall nothing stir you up? Unite! Unite!
Strike whilst the molten mass of opportunity is hot,
And weld it into something strong and lasting.
Behold, upon the bloody fields of Europe, Asia and your glorious Africa—
Your brethren all—have shed
Their lifeblood
For you—for you!
Ye hope! What do you hope?
Is it to sit and cow the live-long day, Like idle rooks,
Or will you bend your shoulders to the wheel
And push out from the clogging mire
The car loaded with the burden cast on you?
Not for the dross that, aye, has God displaced
Mammon sits enthroned;
Unto high deeds, trace up yourselves to do.
How long shall ye yoke the idleness, prejudice and hatred carry,
That bind you in bands of steel!
Bestir yourselves, oh sons of Africa;
Heed not the suasive tongues of those Who, with sophistries and glibe,
Try to draw you from your right and high endeavor.
He who is above, who slumbers, neither sleeps.
But ever watches o'er His own,
Looks down on you.

INTERESTING CENSUS FACTS
The fourteenth decennial census is to be taken during the month of January, 1920.
The first census of the United States was taken in 1790, during the administration of George Washington. It related solely to population.
The constitution of the United States requires that a census of the United States be taken every ten years. It is by this means that the apportionment of members of the house of representatives is made as to states.
The Bureau of the Census is a part of the Department of Commerce. It was established as a permanent bureau in 1902. Prior to that time the census work was done by a temporary organization known as the census office.
A census of the country's manufactures was made for the first time in 1810. Under the present law a manufactures census is to be taken in connection with the fourteenth decennial census and every two years thereafter.
TAYLOR STARS IN OBERLIN-
CASE FOOTBALL GAME
CLEVELAND, O.—A record crowd saw the Oberlin-Case football game, last Saturday afternoon, at Van Horn field, this city. It could more correctly be called the Taylor-Case game, for the Oberlin Afro-American player was almost a "team" in himself. His most brilliant of a number of "stunts" was his fake punt kick followed by his circle of Case's left end for a brilliant 65-yard run to a touch-down. This was in the first quarter. His high dive over Case's line in the second quarter, his 25-yard run around Case's right end on a fake punt, reaching midfield, and his run through a hole off Case's right tackle for 30 yards to the second Oberlin touchdown, in the third quarter, were but climaxes of the wonderful work he did.
CLEVELAND HAS 68 COLORED TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
CLEVELAND, O. — Cleveland has sixty-eight colored women as teachers in its mixed public schools and at least eight or ten are on the substitute list awaiting opening for appointments as regular teachers. Many of these teachers haven't a colored pupil. Their services are of high class order.
$10,000 MERCANTILE COMPANY
THOMASVILLE, Ga., Nov. 26.—Several of Thomasville's best known colored citizens have applied for a charter to form a mercantile company to engage in business here. According to the application, the business will be both wholesale and retail with privilege of manufacturing various articles. The company is incorporated at $10,000 with the privilege of increasing the amount.
Men are never so ridiculous from the qualities which really belong to them as from those they pretend to possess.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
There’s the same economy in using the one-ton Ford truck that there is in using the Ford car—only the larger carrying power of the truck commends it particularly to farmers, and other business men. The famous Model T motor assures reliable power, and lots of it; the manganese bronze worm drive makes certain the use of all that power; the three-point suspension gives flexibility, and vanadium steel strength.

"Very." agreed Miss Moth and Master Moth.
"Then the case can be made longer by being added to, and the case itself is made of wool on the outside and silk on the inside. By changing the larva to different materials the case can be made of many colors, being the lengthening and adding which I have told you about.
THE NAUGHTY MOTHS.
"Sometimes the precious eggs are brought up on the material a mother chooses for her home and sometimes in trunks and boxes.
"I think it is nice to be naughty," said little Miss Moth to Master Moth.
"We have cousins, such as the tapestry moth, but they aren't as common as we are and their ways are a little different, for they do not make a case for themselves. That is true of the southern moths, for they build a beautiful cocoon of silk, but that is not until they are quite grown. The tapestry moth relations are larger than we are.
"I agree with you." said young Master Moth.
A woman is folding a piece of fabric.
"You are dear children," said Mother Moth.
"The summer is such a nice time, but alas it is all over," said Miss Moth.
"We have our habits, our ways of turning into our different growths, but our lives aren't so long. By turning into our different growths I mean from one stage into another stage, such as

Moths
"Taking Out Their Clothes Now."
"Taking Out Their Clothes Now." Now this moth family belonged to a family known as the case-making clothes moth family because they make for themselves a little case. "My head and front wings are yellowish and my hind wings are grayish and silky," said Master Moth. "That is as it should be."
"But though we are interesting and have our little ways such as all creatures have, they don't like us — the people don't."
"Just as it should be," said Mother Moth.
"Mother, dear," said Miss Moth, "won't you tell us something of our family history?"
"Certainly, dear, if you would like to have me tell you," said Mother Moth.
"Never mind," said Miss Moth, "I had a pleasant summer and en-

"so would I," said Master Moth.
joyed all my meals immensely.
"So did I," said Master Moth. "And
I do enjoy being naughty and eating
what I shouldn't—bits of wool and
cloth and such nice delicacies."
"In the northern part of the country," began Mother Moth, "our family come out around June and stay out until some time in August. There is usually one brood of little moths for each mother moth. But in the southern part of the country our family choose the months from January until October and they have one or two precious broods of young."
But unlike most mothers Mother Moth smiled and said, "I like to hear of the little moths eating what people think they shouldn't and nibbling where they're not wanted, for they take after the whole family, they do."
"Would people call them precious broods of young?" asked Miss Moth. "I don't believe they would," said Master Moth.
Bareback Gowns.
A lady in a decollete gown berated the bolsheviki at a dinner in Washington.
"I'm sure they wouldn't," said Mother Moth.
"Why," she cried, "the latest news from Russia is that these curs are selling the very clothes off the women's backs"
"Weh, pray continue," said Miss Moth. "I didn't mean to interrupt."
"The larva, which is a word all moths and caterpillars and most children, I think, understand," said Mother Moth. "is a whitish sort of caterpillar with brownish coloring mixed in too. It can move around in its case and it can make its case larger by making slits for itself. Isn't that clever and interesting?"
Senator Johnson of California looked around the table with a smile. All the ladies' gowns were decolletie; in the back this decolletage was especially marked.
"The bolsheviki," he said, "wouldn't find much to sell at a fashionable American dinner party, would they?"

Jack of the Bean Stalk had gotten all the giant's wealth. But like most people who have heaps of riches he wished for even more. "I shall have the very stars," he declared and planted another handful of beans expecting, next day, to find another bean stalk toowering to the sky.
U. S. Feature Service, Inc., N. Y. C.
"I shall make a crown of these beauties such as no earthly king has ever boasted," he thought. Then calling in a cheery voice he invited the stars to come and play. Being bright, happy little things they came readily "First form a circle around my head and pretend that I am a mighty monarch!" he said. "Then I will show you the rest of the game."

DISHES FOR QUICK LUNCHEON.
A choice may be made from these dishes, depending upon the foods at hand. With tomato soup and croutons for a beginning follow up with Ox Tongue and Spinach.—The canned tongue may be used as well as the canned spinach. Hent the cooked tongue and place on a platter neatly sliced. Surround with chopped seasoned spinach, garnished with sliced hard-cooked eggs.
Cornbread or gems may be served with this meal. French fried potatoes and finish with
Pineapple and Coconut Cup.—Cut cutened pineapple in cubes and sprinkle with grated coconut; make a layer of each; sprinkle with sugar and serve in glass cups. Strawberryles and pineapple, covered with a sugar slurp, make a most tasty dessert. Almost any kind of fruit or combination may be used.
Tuna Fish and Rice.—Boil one-half cupful of rice until soft and mix with a large can of tuna fish which has been flaked with a fork. Moisten with cream sauce, using one tablespoonful each of butter and flour and a half cupful of milk. Cook until smooth and thick. Season, put into individual ramekins and sprinkle with sifted crumbs over the top. Bake in a hot oven until the crumbs are brown.
Peach Mallows. — Fill halves of canned peaches with marshmallows. Take a cup of peach juice, add a teaspoonful of corn starch and the yolk of one egg. Flavor with a few drops of almond extract, added after cooking, and pour when cool over the peaches. Serve very cold in glass dishes or stemmed sherbet cups.
Corned-Beef Hash. — Empty a can of corned beef and grind it with five potatoes through the course part of the meat grinder. Mix and season well. Put into a hot frying pan a table-spoonful of sweet fat; when hot add the hash. If too dry, molten with broth, milk or water. Cook slowly until well browned, then turn out on a hot platter. Arrange poached eggs around the hash and serve hot.

Human blood and tears are well known legendary sources of plants and flowers. Among the ancient Greeks such legends were common. The anemone, for example, was said to have sprung from the tears Venus shed over the death of Adonis. Among the Virginian tribes of Indians red clover was supposed to have sprung from the blood of red men slain in battle with the white invaders. According to tradition, the Danish invasion was the course of the Daneweed, a course asteraceous plant common in England, as it sprang from the blood of Danes slain in battle. If cut on a certain day in the year, the country people say, it bleeds.

He was not disappointed, for next morning there was a beanstalk even taller than the first one! Eagerly Jack climbed toward the sky as soon as twilight came and he reached the top of the stalk just as the first star shone out of the blue night.
A man is pulling a tree with his hands. He is wearing a sleeveless shirt and pants. The background is dark with rays of light emanating from behind him.
When the ring was made, the clever fellow started down the beanstalk. But stars may not leave the sky and they held him fast in the grip of the circle upon his head! No one knows what happened to him, but from his quest of heavenly riches (which none can get except by being very good indeed) he never returned to enjoy his little store of earthly wealth.

“Impulsive? Yes. Irrational? Per-
haps at times, but that is his tempera-
ment. He was the dearest of lovers
and is the very best husband in the
world!”
‘Thus Cectile Drury spoke to her
sister-Inlaw, Mrs, Aileen Boughton.
‘The bride of a year and her relative
had been discussing Sidney Drury tn
a friendly, familiar manner, Cecilie
all indulgence and resenting somewhat
the mild criticism of the other.
“I was basing my thought on the
sheer goodness of heart of Sidney,”
explained Mrs, Boughton, “His gen-
erosity Is his greatest failing. It seems
as though all anybody has to do to
get anything he has {s to ask him for
it”
“Maybe you are hinting at met!”
laughed Cecile, “I can’t break Sid-
ney of his spendthrift ways with elther
scolding or pleading. Why, I happened
Into his office the other day and
chanced to admire a new rug he had
Just bought. By the time I reached
home he had already sent It there.”
“That Is Sidney all over,” said Mrs.
Boughton, “Can't ‘yon and Sidney
come over and take dinner with us
this evening?”
“I am sorry, dear, but we are booked
for a card party at Mr, Ream's, Iam
to spend the afternoon with Mrs,
Ream and Sidney is to Join me there
In the evening, Oh, by the way! I want
to show you the lovely vase iny broth-
er has sent from Rome."
Meantime the handsome and happy-
go-lucky, hail-fellow well-met subject
of interest and discussion, Sidney
Drury, on his way to the stock ex-
change of which he was a member was
met by Gregory Ream, the latter in
a great fluster, It was at the house
of Mr. Ream that the eard party was
to be held that evening.
“See here, Drury,” he spoke, “I'm
in a tieup all the afternoon in an tm-
portant conference, I promised my
wife to arrange for a prize to the win-
ner. Take it off my hands, will you?”
“Certainly,” answered the accomo-
dating Drury.
“Buy something worth while, neat
and tasteful, see? And I'l fix it up
with you later,”
But pressure of unexpected business
with Sidney drove the promise entirely
from his mind, He had hurried home
after business, dressed for the pend
Ing social function and was about to
start to Join his wife at the Ream
home when sudden recollection moved
him as by a. shock,
“The mischief!" he ejacuiated—"the
prize for the card game! I promised
Ream [ would attend to {t. What will
he think of me?”
Drury stood reflecting as to what
was best to be done, It was too late
to go back down town and many of the
shops would be closed, He cast his
eyes about the room, Was there not
some article of bijouterie or art that
would do for the prize?
“Phe very thing! and decidedly
tasteful and pretty,” he spoke with
relief and satisfaction as his eyes fell
on the vase so prized by his wife,
It was a gay, mirthful group, and
all were ready for the midnight re
fection and wondering whose — score
would win the prize, when Ceetile
chanced Into a side room to find Mrs.
Ream unwrapping the prize. Just then
some one called the bostess and Ce
‘cille nearly toppled over, Aghast, she
“Viewed the vase! How had It come
“here? Direful thoughts came into her
wind, She had left It near an open win:
dow, Had some burglarious passer-by
‘reached in, secured it, sold it, and by
some haphazard had It come into the
“possession of the Reams? ‘Then again
“it might not be the same, Oh, she must
know! She rushed by the lady deeiph
ering the score cards and approached
Sidney,
“Why, how pale and disturbed you
look!" he observed,
“Sidney,” she spoke impetuously,
“Awe must go home at once.”
/ “But—supper, the prize?" remon-
strated her husband,
“Make our excuses, please. [am not
“yell, Don't delay, Sidney. T want to
"get home at once.”
She was mute and nervous all the
| way from the card party. Once inside
“thelr house her glance flew to the win-
-dow stand. Her precious vase was
“gone, She dropped into the first chair
and broke out into hysterical sobbings.
“Why, what In the world Is the mat-
ter?" exclaimed Sidney, and then
Ceclile poured forth her woes. Her
“prother’s cherished gift! Stdney was
“aghast. She chanced to eatch a glimpse
“of his gullty face,
40h, Sidney! Surely you never—"
“Yes, Tdid !" confessed Sidney blunt-
ly. “Pm a misfit, a bungler, an irre-
“sponsible imbecile! Don't ery, dear—
TH call up the Reams and explain.”

WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS
URGE DISCHARGED MEN
TO KEEP INSURANCE
(Washington, D. C., Nov. 24.—If all the 400,000 Negro men who were in the army and navy during the World War do not keep up their war risk insurance it will not be the fault of colored welfare organizations throughout the country. Spurred by the fact that only about five per cent of the colored men are retaining their insurance now that they are out of the service, many leading colored organizations have started renewed activity to save for the men the war risk insurance upon which they paid premiums while in the service.
The average face value of each policy carried by colored men was $8,740. Although a large per cent of this insurance has been allowed to lapse, it has not been lost to the men under the liberal reinstatement privileges granted veterans of the World War. Colored organizations not only are offering the men information as to their insurance rights and privileges under the provisions of the War Risk Insurance act, but are voluntarily aiding them in again placing their insurance in good standing. These organizations are rendering valuable work in co-operating with a representative of the colored race who is looking after the interests of the Negro in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance.
The government does not charge a higher premium because of dangerous employment, as is customary with commercial life insurance companies. No matter how hazardous the job a man holds, he can be protected under the terms of government insurance. His work may be in a coal mine, a powder factory or in an ice cream parlor—it's all the same to Uncle Sam. A disability clause is contained in government policies for which there is not extra charge. If totally and permanently disabled for any cause, the insured may get the benefits and no longer be required to pay premiums upon his insurance.
"The government is in the life insurance business only for the benefit and protection of those who safeguarded the nation in its greatest crisis," says Lieutenant J. Williams Clifford, in charge of the colored men's interests in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. "The country's obligation to its fighting men did not end with the war, or when the men left the service. In discharge of an everlasting obligation Uncle Sam is offering his service men permanent insurance protection by extending to them the privilege of keeping their government insurance. Such an insurance policy is an asset with which to begin any career."
Every dollar of the insurance carried by colored men can be reinstated by paying only two months premiums. Only the premiums for the month of grace following discharge, when the insured was fully protected, and for the month in which the reinstation takes place are required in order to again be fully protected. (Reinstation must be made within 18 months after discharge.)
Premiums should be paid by check, draft or money order payable to the Treasurer of the United States, and sent to the Premium Receipt Section, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C.
ZION BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. W. F. Botts, Pastor.
Last Sunday marked the close of the special ten-day service. Two good sermons were given by the pastor, and several new members were added to the church.
Sunday, November 30, baptism will be in connection with the evening service, to accommodate the candidates who will not be able to attend the morning service.
Next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 memorial services will be held at this church by the Knights of Tabor and Daughters of Tabernacle in honor of the late Rev. Frank Wilson of Kansas City, Mo., who was G. C. M. of the Kansas and Nebraska jurisdiction. The sermon will be preached by Dr. Botts. The public is invited.
The Mission Circle held no meeting this week. They will be entertained Thursday, December 4, in the rest room of the church by the president, Mrs. Ada Woodson. The meeting is called for 2:30.
The sick of the church includes Mr. Roulette, Mrs. Baum and Mrs. Harbin at their respective homes, and Mr. Alonzo Jackson at St. Joseph hospital. We hope for them a speedy recovery.
The following visitors were present at services last Sunday: Miss Ruby May Scott, McAllister, Okla.; Mrs. Beatrice Brooks, Wichita, Kansas; Mrs. J. M. Foster, Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Jennie Wagner, Festus, Mo., and Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Ross and L. J. Martin of the city
The young people are asked to attend the Sunday School and Union regularly to prepare for the holiday exercises.

THE MONITOR
Banker John Whitelaw Lewis Builds Beautiful Structure—Six Day Celebration Marks Opening of The Whitelaw.
(Special to The Monitor by Walter J. Singleton)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 24. The Whitewel hotel, corner Thirteenth and T streets, N. W. was auspiciously opened with a six-day celebration. A literary and musical program was given each evening. Thousands of our citizens assembled to pay honor and homage to the master mind who conceived the necessity for such an enterprise and who had the courage to carry it out. Too much credit cannot be given to John Whitelaw Lewis, the banker, who bent all his energies to its accomplishment. The most prominent of our citizens, social and fraternal, took part in the exercises each evening, and a number of ladies formed a reception committee who welcomed the guests and took delight in pointing out the attractive rooms. An orchestra was provided to entertain the guests, also a buffet supper and light refreshments were served each night. This hostelry has long been needed in the nation's capitol. The visitors and traveling public will hereafter find a well appointed and first class hotel at their disposal during their brief visits from time to time, relieving private homes from the necessity of opening their doors to accommodate those who visit here.
The hotel is six stories, high, centrally located in one of the most beautiful and attractive neighborhoods of the city; convenient to all street car lines and is furnished throughout with the latest and most approved equipment. The main entrance on Thirteenth street has a drive-way to the door. Later on, in the spring, a roof garden will be one of the special features, the view from which will embrace all the public buildings and the monument. The rooms are all well lighted and ventilated by large windows, steam heated, artistically papered, electrically lighted, hot and cold running water, call bells and shower baths.
The furniture was selected with special care. Furniture, tapestry and draperies harmonize in design and will appeal to home tastes. The beds are mahogany, walnut, old ivory, white enamel, oak, birdseye maple and beautifully designed brass. The rugs were also selected with great care to harmonize with the mural decorations, and are in Wilton, Velvet, Axminster and Brussells.
Private Reception and Dining Rooms
The private reception parlor and dining rooms are on the second floor. There is a council or waiting parlor exquisitely appointed and furnished, is separated by double French sliding doors connecting with the dining room. The main dining room, located on the first floor with its stained glass ceiling, soft harmonizing draperies and beautifully set tables, each with its electric glow lamp of artistic design, seats one hundred people comfortably, and can be secured for banquets, etc. The Grotto is open at all hours and will serve those whose time cannot conform with the set hours of the main dining room.
The kitchen is a model of sanitary art and contains every modern appliance known to promote the better culinary art.
The Whitelaw Apartment House Company (Incorporated) extends to the traveling public an invitation to make their home at this hotel while in the city.
This imposing structure, a gift to the public in general, is due primarily to that master mind and financial genius, John W. Lewis. The architect was a colored man, contractor colored, and all workmen were colored men.
God and Satan play chess together. But the chess they play is not the little ingenious game that originated in India; it is on an altogether different scale. The ruler of the universe creates the board, the pieces, and the rules; he makes all the moves; he may make as many moves as he likes whenever he likes; his antagonist, however, is permitted to introduce a slight inexplicable inaccuracy into each move, which necessitates further moves in correction. The creator determines and conceals the aim of the game, and it is never clear whether the purpose of the adversary is to defeat or assist him in his unfathomable project.—H. G. Wells.
Filipinos Produce Fire With Syringe.
The natives of the Philippine islands produce fire by what is called a fire syringe. This is really a highly scientific device. A piece of very hard wood has a small hole bored in it, and into this hole a rod fits closely, a piece of cotton wool rendering the joint air-tight. At the bottom of the hole a small piece of tinder is placed. When air is strongly compressed it becomes heated; so the natives force the rod down the hole, the air is violently compressed, and the tinder is so heated that it begins to smolder; then the rod is withdrawn, and the tinder is immediately fanned into a flame.

Much against Bob's wishes, his fox terrier's tail was shortened. Not long after this operation Jip, like all other playful dogs, was trying to catch his tail, but it couldn't be done. Bob, watching him, said sorrowfully: "Poor Jip, if they'd left the tail you was borned with you could catch it all right."
The man who is worthy of being a leader of men will never complain of the stupidity of his helpers, of the ingratitude of mankind, or of the inappreciation of the public. These things are all a part of the great game of life, and to meet them and not go down before them in discouragement and defeat is the final proof of power.—Elbert Hubbard.
