PHOENIX WITNESSES EXCITING GUN-PLAY Drafted Colored Men In Knoxville Given Riotous Send-Off Drafted Colored PHOENIX WITNESSES TYPICAL WESTERN GUN PLAY WHEN ONE MAN HOLDS CROWDS AT BAY A Loaded Automatic In Hands of a Determined Man Cowes Score Of Officers and Hundreds of Private Citizens VOL. 1. NO. 21 PHOEN Drafted PHOENIX WITNESS WESTERN GUN MAN HOLDS A Loaded Automatic In Hands of Of Officers and Hund (By Tribune Staff Reporter) Saturday noon, August 3, there appeared on the streets of Phoenix a scene, rarely ever witnessed in civilized communities. The spectacle of one man wearing a pair of blue overalls and with a red bandana handkerchief about his neck, holding a crowd that was variously estimated at between four and five hundred people at bay, with only a little thirty-eight calibre automatic in his hands. It appears that J. B. Van Ritter, a young man still in his twenties and a resident of the South side, had bought a car of the Harmon Motor company on a contract. When Van Ritter was some $700 behind with his payments, word was sent him to turn in the car. He called at the office of the motor company about 10 o'clock on Satur day, and demanded that he be allowed to turn the car in in exchange for another car. A salesman, Mr. Woolf, is said to have explained to him that he had no authority to make such a settlement of the case, and at last turned away saying, "We will not argue the matter any more." He proceeded then to assist in some repairs that were being made on a car. With his back turned to Van Ritter, the latter drew an automatic pistol of small calibre, and fired. The bullet struck Mr. Woolf in the back near the right side and passed through his body to the left side front. After a little scuffle in the garage with one of the men, Van Ritter ran into the street and stood beside an automobile parked there, threatening all who approached him. In the meantime some one had called the officers by telephone and by the time they arrived a crowd of nearly 500 had gathered. Van Ritter kept turning and watching those who surrounded him, menacing those nearer him and all the time playing with the trigger of his pistol. One many Justice Charles De Sales Wheeler, left the crub and approached him. "Come, old fellow, don't make a fool of yourself with the gun," said Justice Wheeler. "I'll have my trial right here in the street," said Van Ritter. After much parleying and intrigue, an officer slipped up behind Van Ritter, leaped upon him, seized his arm and forced the gun down. Several officers then came to the assistance of their comrade and the bad, bad, bad, despairado was hustled into a waiting auto and taken to jail. Thus a very bad man was captured without blood-shed. WONDERFUL. WONDERFUL! SIMPSON'S GARAGE NOW READY FOR BUSINESS Jim Simpson, who conducts an Auto Repair garage at 229 East Adams st., wishes to let his colored patrons know that he is now better prepared to serve them than heretofore. He has purchased his pardner's interest in the business and is going for himself, strictly. Simpson is well and favorably known by a host of colored people here who have had business dealings with him during his eight years with the Arizona Republican. Jim says that you may look for and expect the same fair and squa treatment from his garage that have characterized his many successful business transactions with the colored people in the past. The past can never be undone. The food you should have conserved will never reach a hungry mouth. PHOENIX CONGRESSMAN POU OF NORTH CAROLINA PRAISES THE NEGRO Southern Gentleman Says He Is Pleased To Pay Tribute To the Race Because Deserving Congressman E. W. Pou of North Carolina, in a debate on the Army Appropriation bill in the House of Representatives, said recently, "So far as I have heard, so far as I know, so far as I have read, in not one Negro home in America is there even a suggestion of disloyalty. It is pleasant indeed to pay this tribute to this race of people because they deserve it. They are doing their utmost to support their country in this great world crisis. They are subscribing to Liberty Bonds, they are giving to the Red Cross, and their young men are cheerfully responding to the draft call. They are not a wealthy race; they have accumulated slowly, but they are giving willingly of what they have. "This attitude of the Negro race is not surprising to the people of the South, who probably know the character of the Negro better than any other people on earth. The Southern people saw him tried in the memorable days of the war between States. They saw him tested as few people have ever been tested in the history of the world. His very soul was wring in a struggle between love of freedom and love of friends, and the love for those who had been kind to him won the victory. The helpless women and children of the South during those four memorable years were left largely to the mercy of the Negro race. Be it said to their everlasting credit that not in one instance did they prove treacherous. "Some day I hope to see a monument of pure white marble erected—a monument so high that its summit pierces the clouds, so enduring that it will outlive the ages,-built, by the Southern people as a tribute to the fidelity of the Negro race in protecting and caring for the helpless population during the war between the States." MOB TAR AND FEATHER NEGRO PHYSICIAN Details of Horrible Affair Lacking—Full Report Next Week VICKSBURG, Mississippi, July.—Dr. J. A. Miller was sought by a mob of white citizens on Tuesday, July 23, and after they had gone to his home and failed to find him, they began searching the city for him. Finally he was found on Grove street in his car making his calls. The mob took him from his car, undressed him as far down as his waist and put a coating of tar and feathers on him, even his head being covered. After completing their decoration, they put him in a car, drove him around the principal parts of the city, then hurried him to the City Hall, where he was put up on a high elevation and viewed by over 2,000 people and made the object of ridicule. Then he was (Continued on page 4) ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10. 1918 STOP PROCRASTINATING WRITE THAT LETTER NOW Your Soldier Boy Is Looking For That Letter From Home—Write It One of the most vital forces that go to put courage into the hearts of the boys at the front is the Letter from Home. Never until you are three thousand miles away from all your own folks, and are in a strange land, with people all about you chatting in an unknown tongue, do you realize what loneliness means. When to distance you add danger, hardship and unaccustomed and racking toil, you have the ingredients for a mighty homesickness. You remember when in times of peace you were traveling abroad how you eagerly watched and waited for letters, and the thousand absurd but none the lest distressing suspicions and conjectures that fomented in your mind when the mail was delayed—well, it's infinitely worse in war time. So don't fail to write him Over There. And note these hints. Remember that the postal service abroad was none too good in peace times, and it's worse now; hence, write three letters when you want one to reach him. Write some every day. Make it a part of your day's routine. And send your letters off twice a week or oftener. Be sure to get the address exactly right. Go to your postmaster or the nearest army station or write to the War Department and find out how to address your letter so that there shall be no mistake. Print the address on your envelope. Don't trust to script. Make it fool.proof. Tell him details, all the little happenings. Tell about the baby and the cow and what the neighbors are doing. Chat; don't preach.—Just talk. Don't give advice. Make every letter cheerful. You'd as well fill your letter with typhoid germs as with pessimism. Don't worry him about money matters. You will get along somehow, and annoying him will do no good. Don't quarrel. Save your misunderstandings until he gets home. Don't be afraid of being too sentimental. He may not have seemed to care much for the little arts of affection when he was with you, but, believe me, he will eat hungrily every living word you send him now. Tell him you're loyal now, that you (Continued on Page 4) COLORED MAN HOLDS WORLD'S RECORD AS FATHER OF QUADRUPLETS COLORED MAN HOLDS WORLD'S RECORD AS FATHER OF QUADRUPLETS Has 13 Sons in U. S. Army and 17 Girls in War Work RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 6.—John Ward, a Race man, of Goldsboro, has thirteen of his eighteen sons in the Ninth and Tenth United States Cavalry, while his seventeen daughters are busy with war work. The facts are vouched for by Sheriff R. H. Edwards of Wayne county, of which Goldsboro is the county seat. Ward also probably holds the record for quadruplets, says Sheriff Edwards, who gives the record thus: Ward was born April 21, 1856, at Goldsboro. He has married three times, and his last wife is now living. His first wife bore fifteen children, four at one time twice, three at one time twice, one at a time once. His second wife bore him two at one time twice, three at one time once and five one at a time. His present wife has borne him eight, one at a time. His first wife lived six years and three weeks after marriage, his second wife eight years and six months. ALURIBUS VINUM NA'S GREATEST W RIZONA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10. 19 SES EX Knoxville WHY WE FIGHT The high aims of America and her allies are well expressed in President Wilson's greetings to France on Bastille day: "As France celebrated our Fourth of July, so do we celebrate her Fourteenth, keenly conscious of a comradeship of arms and of purposes of which we are deeply proud. The sea seems very narrow today. France is so close to our hearts. The war is being fought to save ourselves from intolerable things, but it is also being fought to save mankind. We extend our hands to each other, to the great peoples with whom we are associated; and to the peoples everywhere who love right and prize justice as a thing beyond price, and consecrate ourselves once more to the noble enterprise of peace and justice, realizing the great conceptions that have lifted France and America high among the free peoples of the world. The French flag flies today from the staff of the White House, and America is happy to do honor to that flag." WILSON PLEASED WITH EDITORS CONFERENCE Warmly Commends "Fine Philosophy Of Democracy" Exhibited in Frank And Calm Consideration of War Issues—Sets Inspiring Example for All Patriotic Americans (Special to The Tribune) WASHINGTON, D. C., August 7.—President Wilson is greatly pleased with the conference of colored editors and other leaders of thought and opinion among the colored citizens of the country, held a short time ago in this city. The report of the conference has been published far and wide and the proceedings have attracted a larger measure of attention than the report of any similar gathering of colored men since emancipation. In a recent letter, the Chief Executive of the Nation plainly indicates his deep interest and genuine satisfaction with the meeting and its successful outcome, as well as with the practical results that have accrued from the frank and unhampered interchange of views as to how the 12,000,000 Negroes of the country might most effectively aid America to win this righteous war for freedom and worldwide democracy. The President feels that the problems considered by the conference were "grave and weighty" and he is cheered by the thought that the whole state of feeling throughout the country will be helped by the broad spirit of patriotism which dominated the conferees in their calm, dignified and high-purposed deliberations. In no uncertain terms, the President warmly commends the colored representatives of the press for their timely emphasis of national unity on the vital issues involved in the war and applauds the inspiring example set by them for all Americans who have at heart the welfare of the nation in its present crisis. The full text of the President's letter to the Chairman of the Conference follows: President's Letter on Spirit of the Conference The White House, Wash., July 31, 1918. Dear Mr. Scott: Your letter of June 26th has been called to my attention, and I am both interested and pleased with the report it gives of the meeting held in Washington by leaders of thought and opinion among the Negro citizens of the country. The problems considered by the conference of special importance to the people whom they represent, are grave and weighty, and the whole state of feeling throughout the country will be helped by the frank and (Continued on Page 4) TRIBUNE TELLS NEGROES WHAT THEY OWE COUNTRY Gifted Orator Defines "Americanism" To Drafted Colored Men Noah D. Thompson, "Four-Minute Man," representing the colored population of the city, spoke to 225 colored drafted men at the Independent Church of Christ, Eighteenth street and Paloma avenue, Los Angeles, last night. His topic was "Americanism, and What It Means to Us." He told of a young man who appeared before him ten months ago, complaining that nobody had confidence in him, and that he had lost his ninth job. The youth was advised to join the army—to let Uncle Sam adopt him and make a man of him. He did it. Not long ago he went to Mr. Thompson and expressed his gratitude for the good advice which had been given to him, saying that he has learned to regard army discipline as the thing he most needed, and that he has come to be a soldier of genuine worth to the government. What Americanism means to that young man, it means to every black, red or yellow man who has truly taken Uncle Sam as a foster parent," said Mr. Thompson. "Americanism today means opportunity to serve humanity, opportunity to serve efficiently that one may serve all and all may serve one. America will eventually draw a circle around the word 'All' large enough to include every loyal black, red or yellow man in her domain. Americanism stands for Opportunity, Liberty and Justice for all." MAILING YOURSELF MONEY Every time you stick a Thrift or War Savings Stamp on your card you are mailing money to yourselves to be received later with Interest. Cashing in these stamps is going to be better than "getting money from home," for with the money comes the reminder that you contributed to the great victory which then will have been completely won. As we go to press the National Negro Business League is making preparations for their nineteenth annual session. The affiliated organizations, the National Negro Press Association, the National Negro Funeral Directors Association, the National Negro Farmers' Association and the National Negro Bar Association will hold their annual sessions at the same time as in former years. FEW LOSSES AMONG COLORED TROOPS SAYS GENERAL PERSHING Colored Regiment Carried First American Flag To Firing Line Reports Say General Pershing reports that the Colored soldiers with the American Expeditionary Forces are in fine shape, and their losses have been comparatively few. In his recent cablegram to Secretary Baker he said: "A tour of Inspection just completed among Negro troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters show the comparatively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. "Their training is identical with that of other American troops serving with the French army, the effort being to lead all American troops gradually to heavy combat duty by a preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. "Colored troops in trenches have been particularly fortunate as one regiment was there a month before any losses were suffered.

M. C. A. to hear Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University. "Race Loyalty and National Patriotism" was the subject of Prof. Miller's thought and the theme of a discourse that enabled the dean to force home to the hearts and minds of his hearers a keen appreciation not only of the great international facts involved in the war, but especially of the issues that pertain particularly to the race. At the conclusion of the lecture the genial dean was entertained by the ladies of the Tenth Cavalry Red Cross. While in the fort Dr. Miller was the guest of his life-long friend and former pastor, Chaplain Scott. Concerning conservation, Col. Chas. Young, U. S. Army, has the following to say: "The Negro people of the world over, more than any other race group, leans themselves to service and sacrifice for the love of principle or an ideal. "So in this hour of our country's trial, if those of us who cannot go to the front can aid in assuring liberty and human equity by wheat conservation, let us eat three kinds of wheatless bread three times a day: Corn Bread, Crust and Crumbs. "Considering the deep significance for us of this war, to eat more than our share of wheat bread would place us in the role of slackers and we would be eating Flapdoodle (fool's bread)." Thirty persons participated on the Midway Musical Pot Pourri Program held in Chicago in June. Some of the best musical and dramatic talent in the city rendered selections. TWO MORE REGIMENTS ARE OVER IN FRANCE Baltimore, Md.—Drum Major Chas. Landin, Colored, of the Three Hundred and Sixty-eighth Infantry Regiment, the fellow who made President Wilson laugh at the big Meade parade held in this city on April 6, has arrived in France. Word has been received in this city that the Three Hundred and Fifty-first Field Artillery Regiment and the Three Hundred and Sixty-eighth debarked in that country a few days ago. Both of these regiments are Colored organizations and were stationed at Meade. The two regiments left the Maryland cantonment about three weeks ago, a few days after the Three Hundred and Sixty-eighth had given a concert at the Iyrcle theatre. 5 CENTS A COPY; $2 A YEAR -PLAY end-Off AT THE DEPOT CORED DRAFTEES LEAVE FOR CAMP ssaults Colored Ladies Who Came their Sons and Brothers (Special to The Tribune) KNOXVILLE, Tenn., August 7.—While hundreds of colored men, women and children were assembled at the Southern Railway station on last Friday night, for the purpose of bidding farewell to the young men who left in the draft call, what carvo very near resulting in a serious race riot was narrowly averted only due to the efforts of Mayor John E. McMillan and other citizens who hapened to be near the scene. Some of the mothers and sisters of the men who were assembled expressed a desire to get through the gates to the train that they might give lunches and small gifts to their relatives; and as they approached the gates, they were yelled at in a mad discourseous manner by Special Railway Officers Phipps and Peeler. roughly pushed back. These so- and other relatives, anxious to last glimpse of their stu- brothers who were going to their country, were even stu- the face by these bold and in- officers; and to the surprise colored people, a notorious gun- by the name of James Pearson. Negro in the employ of the railway, as a "stool pigeon" and who several months ago deliberately killed a peaceful colored man—giving as his reason that the man was in the act of stealing from a freight car—stood by with these white officers and brandished a big revolver, flashing it into the faces of the terrorized and frightened, women and threatening to shoot if any sought to defend themselves. Jo Erskine, a peaceful colored citizen was knocked to the ground and white officers proceeded to sack him with their pistols and curse while the notorious Negro gunner held the helps onlookers at bay the point of his pistol. It was then that Mayor John McMillan and Patrolman Charlie Redmon, who happened to be near and seeing the excitement, rushed to the scene. By the time they arrived several colored men had brought forty pistols, and but for the prevailing on the part of the Mayor, the abusive officers and the Negro traitor, Pearson, would have been severely dealt with. Mayor McMillan persuaded the men to place their pistols away and Peeler, hearing the Mayor asking the men to refrain from violence, stepped into his face and questioned, "Who are you?" The Mayor replied that he was the Mayor of the city and in his official capacity asked that no further violence be resorted to and that peace and order be restored. Peeler insolently replied—at the same time throwing his hand on his gun "I don't give a d—who you are and if you want anything out of me you can get." With this insult to the city popular official, the colored men he came—almost uncontrollable and but for the continual pleading of the Mayor to refrain from violence, they would have been the most serious riot ever witnessed. The age for admission into Harton Institute has been 17 years in many years. But since such a large number of the young men are with draft age there, the faculty of Harton Institute at a recent meeting lowered the age for admission from 17 years to 16 years; this ruling does not lower the entrance requirement in any other respect, and does not affect the girls.

Thoughtful men and women, how can our soldiers have clothing and shoes and food? How can we have ships to carry our boys to France? There is but one way.

And do not forget that any person, black or white who does not work hard, who lags in any way, who fails to buy a Liberty Bond. Or a War Savings Stamp if he can, is against his country and is therefore our bitter enemy. I am happy to say that the majority of our men and women are working all other good Americans to make their labor win the war. Only a few rocks ago the world record for driving rivets in building steel ships was taken by Charles Knight, a Negro workman at Sparrow's Point, Maryland. One nine-hour day, he drove 4,875 three-quarter inch rivets in the hull of steel ship. The newspapers of the country have lauded him for his work. The British Government sent him a prize of one hundred twenty-five dollars. Again many men and women are making records as workers in the steel mills, in the coal mines, on the railroads and on the farms. Our interested, thoughtful cooks and other helpers in the kitchen are really doing service at the front, by saving all the food they can. The newspapers and journals of the country, managed and edited by thoughtful men and women, are creating sentiment that will do much toward winning the war. For instance, the Albany (Georgia) Herald, a newspaper edited by Southern white men advised and suggested to ladies of the city who offered to make and present to the city, a service flag, that a service flag for Albany would not be complete unless there were placed in its field a star, not only for every white soldier or sailor who has enlisted from Albany, but a star for every Albanian, white or black. The first employee of this newspaper, the Herald, to join the Nation Army was a Negro, and the first star on the Herald's service flag is his star. Negroes are being asked in every city, town and rural district to join in this work and save our country. Let every one of us be wide awake and make the most of this opportunity. Let him bear in mind that every time he makes good on his job, he helps his country and the race. Let him also remember that every time any Negro falls down on his job, he pulls down his country and the entire race, and thug makes winning the war less possible. A few months ago a card was printed to help the Negro women in factories and shops. The card read something like this: "Why He Failed" "He did not report on time; "He watched the clock; "He loafed when the boss was not looking; "He stayed out with the boys all night; "morget."; show up on Monday, and he wanted a holiday, then asked for the truth." another thing we ought to think about, if opportunities for saving our country.

There is still another thing we ought to think about, if we are to make the most of these opportunities for saving our country. These are times of great demands and great prosperity. Wages are high. Everybody who will get work. Many who are working now are making more money than they ever made. Many of our families who have men in the army are now putting from Uncle Sam more cash money than they ever had at any one time before. What then is the wise thing for us to do now? In the words of the proverbs of Solomon: "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her days and be wise. She layhup up her store in summer." Now is the time to work every day we can. Now is the time to work every hour we can. In order that our country may have that liberty for which she is fighting, the Negro has fought like a man in the battles from Bunker Hill to the present day. He has died to keep the American Colors flying.

"Now," said he, "when that boy comes in if he takes the dollar he is going to be a, businessman. If he takes the Bible he is going to be a preacher. If he takes the whiskey he is no good; he is going to be a drunkard." The old gentleman hid behind a door to see which his son would choose. In came the boy whistling.

Automobile Fever— Several members of the race have purchased automobiles within the past ten days. We are at a loss to understand why they are investing in these luxuries. It must be due to the fact that McArthur Brothers are offering some exceptional bargains in their used car sale, as every one of the machines was purchased from that firm. "Sonny" Clay has the classiest model of the lot. His is a two-passenger roadster and believe me, it's a bird. Forest Burney of course, stepped up in the millionaire class and rode away in a Hudson SuperSix. One gentleman who has up a $25 deposit on a superb machine, asked that his name be not mentioned until he was privileged to drive away with his purchase. Saturday is the day he expects to "raise the necessary balance."

Birthday Party— On Monday afternoon, July 29, at her home on East Washington street, Miss Nacomas Smith entertained a host of friends at a delightful birthday party. Dainty refreshments were served and all had a jolly good time. Those present were: Lois Peterson, Myrtle Jones, Mary Hester, Mary Wilah Carter, Blanche Hester, Gertrude Roberts, Thelma Evans, Ethel McDonald, Mona Eubanks, Eleanor Jerry, Harvey Henderson, Andrew Wallace, Earl Johnson, Willie Roberts, Bryon Rumpford, Chester Peterson and Chauncey Rumford. Parent-Teachers Meet Mrs. Jessie James wishes to announce that there will be a meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association, Thursday evening, August 15, at Douglas school. Business of importance is to be transacted and you are urged to attend. Returned to Phoenix— Mrs. J. A. Johnson, 702 East Jefferson street, returned home this week after a ten days' visit in Prescott with friends. To the Coast— Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ready are spending the summer visiting in Los Angeles and other California cities. They expect to be absent several weeks. GLOBE-MIAMI, ARIZ. Mrs. W. F. Watkins, Rep. Mr. Jas. Lott has succeeded Mr. R. Wilson (deceased) as president of the Progressive League at Globe. Mr. Lott is a man in whom the people of this district have the utmost confidence. He is an excellent character and a valuable asset to this community. We predict success for him in this new undertaking. The revival which has been going on at St. John Baptist church in Globe for the past ten days, was closed on last Sunday night. The meeting was a grand and glorious success. Rev. Wm. Young, the pastor, was assisted by Rev. S. E. Newell of Tucson. Dr. Newell is an able pulpit orator and he .won for himself an enviable place in the hearts of the people of Globe. Everybody seems glad to see Mrs. Belford Taylor going about once more. This dear woman has been ill for more than a year. Master Watson Summers, while laboring hard to put that Progressive League building fund drive "over the top", was overcome by the heat while soliciting in the city of Miami. He was taken to his home in Globe. Watson is certainly doing his bit. He is O. K. now. Mr. Jesse Sweat of Globe, is leaving for California, Washington and Oregon. He is seeking a new location. Mr. Sweat is a splendid young man. We regret to lose such a valuable citizen. He was the only colored photographer in this district. Mrs. S. L. White and niece, Nina McMillan of Clifton, Arizona, are recent arrivals in Globe. They expect to reside here permanently. Mrs. Mary Scott of Silver City, N. M., is another recent arrival in Globe. She has come for an indefinite stay. Mr. and Mrs. E. Bates of Globe were guests on last Saturday of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Rebenton of Miami. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Albertis and little niece, Altha Katherine Coleman of Miami, have just returned from a delightful vacation spent in Portland, Ore., Los Angeles, Cal., Oakland and other points of interest. Rev. S. E. Newell of Tucson, is spending the week in Miami, the guest of Rev. and Mrs. W. F. Watkins. The people of Miami have induced Rev. Newell to conduct a series of meetings here, notwithstanding the fact that he was very anxious to return to his church in Tucson. Quit borrowing your neighbor's Tribune. Five cents will break you of that habit. The Progressive League has now over twenty-four hundred dollars subscribed for their building. Hello Phoenix! What about that Y. M. C. A? A mass meeting will be held in Miami on Thursday night. Addresses will be delivered by Prof. Luper, Hon. Stewart, Rev. S. E. Newell and Rev. W. F. Watkins. Rev. W. F. Watkins is the proud possessor of a very fine masonic apron made of pure lamb skin and ornamented with fancy trimmings. The apron is the gift of his mother. The boys at the mines are now receiving $5.90 a shift. Oh, you hard times! Never touched us. SEEKS LOST RELATIVE Any one knowing the whereabouts of George Johnson, commonly known as "Snake" George, will please communicate with his father, P. S. Johnson, 339 W. Harrison street, Phoenix, Arizona, and receive liberal reward. George is about thirty-six years old and was last heard of in Brownwood, Texas. —Advt. The race in this district has every reason to be proud of Mr. Alvin Booth, a man who is respected and loved by both white and black. He ranks high in the political world, holding a commission as deputy sheriff under the elected sheriff of this county. He is very prominent socially and whenever there is to be given an entertainment or patriotic meeting, Alvin Booth is the first name mentioned to head the affair. Mr. Booth is a staunch friend of the churches, without regard to denomination or creed. One church, unable to meet its mortgage, appealed to Alvin Booth. He didn't turn a deaf ear, but dug up the $500 and saved the church. He is a particular friend of all the ministers in this district. Alvin Booth is a power in the financial and business world. He owns stock in both banks here; owns stock in some of the largest mercantile establishments in this city and has a score of houses for rental purposes. We have been unable to get a glimpse of his bank book yet, but we have it from reliable sources that he is worth $50,000 cash. Is his head swelled? Why, no, indeed. He lives the simple life—friendly, modest, kind. Hats off to Alvin Booth. Yes, he is a paid up subscriber to the Phoenix Tribune. Watch the Who's Who column from this district each week. Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert appeared in recital in Pittsburgh, Pa., in June.

Mr. Earl Turner of Phoenix and Mr. Avery, who was formerly an automobile man of Jerome, left Prescott Thursday afternoon for Camp Lewis to entrain for the U. S. Army. Mr. Turner has been studying wireless telegraphy, and expects to enter that branch of the service while Mr. Avery is a mechanic. Mrs. Roy Essex and Mrs. Myrtle Vaughn, visitors from Phoenix, have returned to the Capital City. Mrs. Essex hastened home to bid adieu to her brother, who left with the last contingent. Sergeant Bailey of Ft. Whipple Barracks was a city guest this week and says that he is favorably impressed with Prescott. The Women's Federation held a business meeting Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Paris Tabron. The club is preparing an entertainment complimentary to the visiting ladies and will announce their program at a later date. Mr. E. E. Rainwater of Yuma has accepted a position in Garret's barber shop. Mrs. Edyth Harris, who has been suffering from a severe attack of ap. pendicitis, is again able to receive her friends and thank them for their many courtesies during her illness. Mrs. O. G. Howard was the guest of husband Sunday on her usual fortnightly visit to Ash Fork. Mrs. Thos. Rose has been slightly indisposed this week. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Collins and little son, Henry Lee, spent Sunday in the Mile High City. Mr. Collins, who was formerly chauffeur to Geo. Kingdon of the U.

Virginia Minstrels in Prescott The Colored minstrel show—the first to visit Prescott in many years—was enthusiastically received by both races and played Wednesday to a capacity house. While the chorus work showed a lack of training and two of the female performers were amateurish, the coon song shouter and interlocutor deserve special mention. The olio presented exceptionally good vaudeville acts, both the slack wire walker and the contortionists being worthy of good vaudeville time. The thread of patriotism through, out the show brought immediate response from the audience as did the rollicking syncopation and buck and wing dancing. While this is by no means a standard colored show, the only really objectionable feature was the finale of the concert. Those of us who remember the wonderful production of Cole and Johnson, Williams and Walker and Whitney and Tutt with their gorgeously costumed bronze beauty chorus, scenic effects and perfectly trained personnel, wonder what the west would really think if it saw a real, honest-to-goodness, up-to-date colored show. RACE WOMEN TO BE WAR TRAINED Washington.—A million Colored women throughout the United States will be trained to take the places of men in various lines of work, if a plan now being formulated by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, this city, is carried out. The first step in the plan will be to raise $25,000 in a campaign beginning August 1 to be used in equipping the school here to train 200 Colored women at a time for periods of ten weeks. If the plan works out as contemplated, the following courses will be offered: Best methods of preparing and saving food; practical housekeeping; waiting in public and private places; home gardening; canning and drying; motor and truck driving and repairing; operation of elevators; first aid and emergency work; trained supervisors of women's work; trained welfare superintendents; group leaders among women workers; cleaning and care of public buildings. In connection with these courses the school will conduct a lecture course to instruct Colored women to spread the gospel of loyalty and conservation. The whole plan is characterized by Miss Burroughs as one to train Colored women into an "army behind the army." Miss Burroughs points out that National Training School for Women and Girls in this city is the logical institution for organizing this army because it is nationally known, and the women who own it live in the states were they are in touch with hundreds of women of their race who should be trained for this work. "There is not in all America any provision for the training of Colored women for war emergency work", reads a statement issued by Miss Burroughs. "Special courses are being offered other women. We must not lose sight of the fact that the Colored woman is a most valuable ally. Her power and influence reaches from the kitchen to the castle—from desk to ditch. She handles the food for 10,000,000 of her own race, as well as million of tons for other Americans. The country needs her intelligent co-operation in its food con- servation work and in other war activities. "America needs every woman, black and white to help win this war. It is as necessary to provide for the training of Colored women as it is to provide for the training of other women to release men for service overseas." A number of Colored women and girls have been employed in the ammunition works in Philadelphia and they turn out thousands of shells a day. Their work is highly satisfactory. A chorus of 750 voices sang at the Auditorium in Chicago in June before an audience of 4,000, under the direction of Prof. James A. Mundy. Prof. John R. Hawkins of Washington, D.C., was speaker, for the occasion. Among the soloists were George R. Garner, Jr., Mme. M. Calloway-Byron, Mme. Maude J. Roberts-George, Harrison Emanuel, the violinist, and Chas. Elgar's famous orchestra also renedered selections. The accompanists for the occasion were Mrs. George R. Garner, Jr., Cleo M. Dickerson and Gertrude Jackson. The program consisted of folk songs, patriotic selections, operatic selections and ballads. The Mayor of Chicago as well as many other prominent people of both races were present. July 14 was celebrated on American shores as well as on French soil because it was Independence Day for France. Patriotic demonstrations started at 8:45 a. m. Sunday morning and continued through the day until late in the afternoon.

Washington) The present great world war has revealed many things to us that might otherwise have gone unrealized. Among these is the urgent demand for trained soldiers—men who can endure the hardships of the army life which we have all read something about, and the training does not mean merely the expert handling of guns and the general service of military tactics, but the very fundamental necessity that is required of our soldiers is physical fitness. To be a soldier he must be physically fit—his vital organs, the heart, lungs, liver, stomach and kidneys must be in good condition to give him the stamina necessary for the hardships of a soldier's life. The question naturally arises: What shall we do? There must be a universal awakening and there is—we note the wonderful improvement in the physique of the school children and even in some adults because of the patriotic spirit of preparedness is daily becoming contagious, because of our country's call for patriotic men to defend it. Teachers of physical education realize that a man is a handle to the army if he is physically unable to stand the new life and they are planning daily for a universal propaganda of physical preparedness, not only for military duty but for the public generally.

The congested city life has contaminated the air with dust and smoke which is bad for our lungs, housing conditions have shut out the sunlight, and a healthful walk of a mile or so is almost an impossibility over the concrete walks. The inability to eat wholesome food at all times is also a big problem of city life, but among all of these problems the sedentary life—the inactive life should be given a large consideration. Machinery is fast taking the place of muscular or man power which was used years ago by our forefathers, who developed for us a strong, sturdy race which it is our patriotic duty to maintain as far as possible. Fortunately, the average city and town, with its great health problem, is striving to meet the conditions of this drain on our system by providing recreation and amusement parks, free public baths and bathing beaches for the public, with trained directors in charge and such places should be crowded wally. Mankind is a social being, and since activity is the law of life, it is imperative that he should enjoy wholesome games of various kinds, with his friends in the parks for the sake of health and amusement. We often hear of persons who would like to take some kind of physical traing but they think that they are too weak to do so—to those I say if you are so constitutionally weak as that, your family physician should be consulted at once, and if one tells him of his interest in physical development, in all probability the doctor will advise and direct him as to the best method of procedure. Physical directors of Y. M. C. A.'s parks and play-grounds have proven themselves to be very competent in teaching mass play and athletics as well as giving individual instruction in body building and corrective exercise according to the direction of a physician. Many business houses have employed a physical instructor to give a few minutes calisthenics drill to their employees daily, and also to organize athletic teams for inter-department and outside competition in certain sports to stimulate interest in this health propaganda. Physical exercise does more than build muscle—it helps, among other things, to keep the flesh distributed proportionately. Exercise reduces the fat to normal and builds under-developed parts to normal, and thereby causes all of our organs to do their share of the body's work. It develops co-ordination in movements and especially does it show in walking, which is one of the simplest and most helpful forms of exercise. Walking makes one breathe deeply, creates a thirst for water drinking, takes one out into the open, and certainly develops a normal appetite for food. Hiking clubs and parties can testify to this fact. Exercise helps us to combat disease as well as to perform our work more efficiently. Persons holding clerical positions are not very active while at work and are often discovered on examination to have hollow chests, soft, flabby bodily tissue, shortness of breath and naturally little endurance.

NERS @ DYERS GREST BEST THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING WASHINGTON, D. C., August 7- Lieut. Russell Smith has been detailed as commanding officer of the Washington Student Army Training Camp just opened on the Howard Uni. university grounds. Lieut. Smith is a native of Covington, Va., where he was reared and received a rudimentary education in the public schools. He enlisted in the 10th United States Cavalry, and served with Troop B of that organization thirteen years. He saw foreign service with the gallant 10th Cavalry in the Phillipines and in Mexico. He attended the Reserve Officer's Training camp at Fort Des Moines last year and was graduated, receiving a commission as first lieutenant. His most recent military service was at Camp Dix, where he served on a detail with the 153rd Depot Brigade and with a field artillery regiment at that station. His commission and assignments have been earned by diligent and meritorious service. The Student Army Training Camp at Howard is for the instruction of representatives of colored colleges throughout the land, to the number of 300, who will be given intensive training in military science and tactics for a period of forty-seven days, after which they will return to their respective institutions to train others in the work which they have learned. Provision has been made for the formation of a student army corps which will be advantageous to the national army when the young men are eventually called to the colors. Many colored schools are taking advantage of this training offered at Howard University. cases the proper kind of muscular exercise will help. Those that need physical exercise seem to get the least attention. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and a race is not stronger than its weakest member. Are we going to allow our boys and girls to stop school because of some preventable weakness—must they suffer from lack of exercise? No! Ten thousand times, no! Let us rather do what Uncle Sam is doing, have mass athletics in all our schools, colleges, clubs, business houses, factories, shops, etc. Democratic athletics, if you please, and when such a program of universal training has been experienced, there will be no need of fearing any kind of a crisis, personal, civic, national or international.

Dr. Miller told them that he had planned for some time to leave for Detroit, Mich., but he had to get his business fixed. The committee thought it unwise to stay there, so they informed Dr. Miller that he had better leave at once, since the feeling was very high. Dr. D. D. Foote, Colored dentist, and Dr. W. P. Harrison, Colored druggist, were also sought by the same mob, but they failed to find them. We are fully unaware of the cause of this trouble at present, but full details will be published in next week's issue. The cost of the U. S. Food Administration for its first year's work was less than two cents for every person in the United States. In spite of scarcity of implements and shortage of farm labor, England, Scotland and Wales have all increased their acreage of wheat. There is no deferred classification in food conservation. We are all in Class 1; all in camp, and ready to go "over the top" when we must further conserve. A great many dealers have misunderstood the sugar rationing. All sugar sales to individuals for table and home consumption must date from the first day of each month and run to the last day of that month. Those who did not receive their month's supply of sugar during July are not entitled to it during August as July allotment is a thing of the past. All sugar sales must run not more than two (2) pounds per person for current month no mat. ter when they may buy the sugar. If they had a credit from July this was cancelled the first day of August. A late bulletin from the state food administrator again makes it possible for sugar to be obtained for canning. The only requisite is that the fruit be in the house ready for canning. The amount, as before, is limited to 25 lbs. Colored Citizens of Ray Suffer Most In Flood Which Sweeps Over the Town (Special to the Tribune) RAY, Ariz., Aug. 8.—Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock the elements seemed to open and a flood of water was poured upon the town of Ray. The colored people all live right down in the bed of the creek, and when the torrent of water came down it took three houses. Two belonged to Mose Davis and one was owned by Anthony Smith. Every house in the camp was damaged to some extent by the flood. Fortunately no lives were lost, but the property loss is great. The extent of the damage done the colored settlement has not been determined, but it is known to exceed $1,500. We are busy clearing away the debris and have little time to write. A detailed account will be given in next week's issue. RED CROSS NURSES ARE-PREJUDICED AGAINST COLOR RED CROSS NURSES ARE-PREJUDICED AGAINST COLOR Does not the very fact that the 120 white nurses and internes of the county hospital of Los Angeles threaten to strike if colored girls are accepted for training, make evident the dire necessity of Negro Red Cross nurses? These nurses object to working with Negro nurses and such a time as this, too, when black men are making the supreme sacrifice on the altar of Liberty and Justice that these white women may retain their chastity and freedom. Are the wounded hearts of the wives and mothers of those men who are seeking only the right of ministering to the wounded of their own race to be torn again by the fury of race prejudice? Again, it is conceded by every surgeon that after the poor maimed body of a soldier has passed from the operating table, his life lies in the hands of the nurse. Imagine this black boy being attended by one of these white nurses whose aversion to a black skin is so great that she cannot even train with a Negro nurse. Just so long as our hearts are wrung by the departure of our boys, just so long are we Negro women to yearn for the chance to nurse and comfort our boys and to relieve the Negro hating nurse of the odious task which to us seems but "our wonderful bit.' were we but properly trained! And is it just to deny us that training because our skins are black?

Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, was called to Washington last October to serve as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, he immediately requested the Department of Commerce to release Mr William H. Davis, who for many years had been performing stenographic and other technical work in that Department of the Government, and who for many years has been official stenographer of the National Negro Business League. Mr. Davis was accordingly released and has been serving as secretary and first assistant to Mr. Scott since the beginning of his work in Washington. The office force was later enlarged by the addition of Mr. Charles A. Wilson of Boston, Mass., a stenographic helper, and within the last few weeks by the further addition of Mr. Charles L. Webb, of Chicago, Ill., a stenographic helper, formerly status clerk in the United States General Land Office, Interior Department and Mr. R. W. Thompson, the well-known correspondent, who has been transferred from the Treasury Department to serve as an assistant in handling the many intricate problems which come to the office of the Special Assistant, whose bureau looks after matters affecting the interests of colored soldiers and colored citizens generally during the period of the present war, and is acting in conjunction with the Committee on Public Information and other agencies of the Government in the important work of stimulating the continued loyalty of colored Americans. The duties involving upon Mr. Scott have grown steadily in volume and gravity and it has been necessary to steadily increase his office force to keep pace with the overwhelming mass of correspondence that flows daily in the office and to properly care for the welfare of the hundreds of cases that constantly press for attention and touch every possible phase of the activities of the colored people of the nation.

To the Editor, Phoenix Tribune. Sir: At an informal meeting this week of the Woman's club an advertised letter from "A Bisbee Working-man" was discussed with a great deal of interest by the ladies. We realize that the advice contained therein to the Democratic colored voters in regard to registration is opportune and timely, and we further realize as women and especially colored women that no man in Arizona has done quite so much for our sex as has Senator Fred T. Colter, by his uniting efforts in obtaining woman's suffrage, prohibition and other moral legislation including the abatement of red light districts. Now we are informed by the letter of "A Bisbee Workingman" that you people will not receive a letter of this kind except as a paid advertisement, and our interest in this matter is so intense that I am hereby enclosing the amount that you state is sufficient to pay for the publication of this letter. This is done solely for the purpose of inducing our women as well as our men to go early and register, and if consistent with their policies to register as Democrats, and study carefully the public life of Senator Colter, for we believe in choosing him for Governor of Arizona, our sex and our race will be greatly benefitted and uplifted. Very truly yours, MRS. ESTELLE BARNES. (Continued from Page 1) calm consideration given to these matters. In the meantime, it is cheering to see that the fine philosophy of democracy, which is at this time the inspiration of the great effort of our country, was felt and expressed by these conferees as the dominating thought which ought to control all Americans in the present crisis. Cordially yours, WOODROW WILSON. To Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant This ungrudging endorsement of the Colored Editors' Conference and sincere tribute to the loyalty of the colored citizens to the cause held dearest to all Americans will hearten the Negro people all over the land. The President's ringing utterance in denunciation of mob violence, the acceptance of colored nurses for war service, and a score of advantageous plans for the induction of the Negro soldiers in technical schools and training camps for officers, followed closely by this exceedingly cordial letter of the President, give ground for belief that the Negro-American is, during these days of national emergency and need, coming to be recognized more and more by the general Government as a factor of importance in the winning of the war. FEW LOSSES AMONG (Continued from page 1) almost unheard of heretofore on the western front. "The exploits of two Colored infantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol, killing and wounding several Germans and winning Crox de Guerre by their gallantry, has aroused a fine spirit of emulation throughout the Colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service. "The only regret expressed by Colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. They are especially amused at the most dangerous positions and all are desirous of having more active service than has been permitted them thus far. "I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the Colored combat troops who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." The 369th infantry have lost only 11 members; the 370th, 3; the 371st, 8, and the 372nd, 3 members since they landed in France. We are told that a Colored regiment carried the first American flag to the firing line, and another Colored regiment took the first New York State flag to the American front in France.
