Arthur G. C. Randall, a representative of the Y. M. C. A. work at that point. The 13th Infantry battalion at Camp Lee has four colored captains and there is also the 155th Depot Brigade, both of which are rendering excellent service. Officers and men are treated with uniform courtesy and respect by their commanders. There are two colored chaplains, Max Yergan and J. H. Brown, spiritual leaders of broad sympathies, and they exert a most wholesome influence upon the morale of the men. A commodious hostess house is in process of erection and will fill a long-felt want. In Petersburg a finely equipped soldiers' club, with all modern improvements, including audience room, library, shower baths, pool and billiard tables, writing room, and provision for every kind of social recreation. This work is directed by James Sanders, assisted by Mr. McCorkle, a graduate of Hampton. The Y. W. C. A. has a like center for women, conveniently located on a prominent thoroughfare, where soldiers are made to feel "at home." Miss Jackson is head worker, and has a congenial assistant. Prof. J. M. Gandy, who is a special assistant in the War Camp Community Service activities among the colored people of the South, is very helpful in planning programs, and the musical exercises arranged by him are enjoyed as much by the white citizens as by the colored soldiers from Camp Lee, for whom they are primarily designed. The Y. M. C. A. is a lively center and Secretary Randall is always "on the job," encouraging the soldier boys to improve themselves mentally, assisting them in their letter-writing and taking the lead in their athletic diversions. The colored people of Havana, Cuba, have organized an "Abraham Lincoln Club" for war work. Sergeant H. Thomas is president; Clifford C. Hancock, director, and Henry H. Sellers, treasurer. Ex-Sergeant John R. Thomas, formerly of the 10th United States Cavalry, now confidential messenger to President Mario G. Menocal, of the Republic of Cuba, is the founder of the organization. At Blanco 8 the club has handsome quarters, with large audience room, palm garden on roof, with a clear sweep for the breezes from the Gulf of Mexico, with fine dancing floor and provision for all kinds of recreation. Connected with the club is a ladies' auxiliary, an employment agency, physical culture department and classes for instruction in Spanish and nEglish, and a club hospital is in contemplation. President Menocal is chairman of the board of trustees. The membership is upward of 200. At a meeting of the employees of the National Baptist Publishing House, Nashville, Tenn., held in the chapel of the plant, the office staff subscribed for $5,000 worth of Fourth Liberty Bonds. Henry Allen Boyd addressed the meeting and made very clear the war aims of the government in their especial application to colored Americans. He also held a successful meeting at Columbia, Tenn., to push the sale of Liberty bonds. During the recent campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan in Dallas and Marengo counties of Alabama, Dr. A. F. Owens, dean of the Theological Department of Selma University, delivered some effective speeches. Both counties went "over the top" and five hundred and one thousand dollar subscribers among the colored people were numerous. Several Alabama dailies are carrying the war news relating to Negroes and both white and colored readers find it most interesting. The Nashville Globe is to issue a special "Patriotic Number" during the first week in December under the direction of Henry Allen Boyd, and The A. M. E. Church Review, of which Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom is editor, is to put out a "Patriotic Number" some time during the same month. Although the armistice with Germany has been signed and peace is on its way, there is no diminution in the patriotic spirit on the part of the colored press or the people in general. They regard the new labor that must bring to the Negro race the fruits of the great victory for democracy as important as the work they have just put into the winning of the war itself. The 12,000,000 colored Americans in this land are keenly alive to the tremendous service that is called for by the future to guarantee to them the liberty and opportunity for which they have fought, side by side with other branches of the American family. The Charleston American invites attention to the fact that out of the $260,000 taken at Charleston (S. C.) Navy Yard, 1,200 colored employees, many of them only in temporary service, recently bought bonds to the value of $66,700, over one-fourth of the total. Capt. Joseph E. Trigg, who has made an enviable record with the 368th Infantry, "Somewhere in France," formerly in command of Company A, has been transferred to the staff and placed in charge of munitions. Captain Trigg took an active and creditable part in the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient, one of the decisive battles of the war. It is stated that there are now 325 Y. M. C. A. secretaries engaged in work among the colored troops in this country and overseas, laboring under the supervision nof Dr. J. E. Moorland, International Secretary and in charge of the colored division of the Y. M. C. A. war work, conducted through the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., of the United States, with headquarters at 347 Madison avenue, New York City. John M. Wright, former Deputy County Treasurer of Shawnee county, Topeka, Kansas, has enlisted in the war service as a Y. M. C. A. secretary and is stationed at Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois. One of the urgent matters to which colored Y. M. C. A. secretaries at the various camps have been addressing themselves earnestly and vigorously, is the reduction of illiteracy among the colored soldiers. In a few of the camps, it is stated, that more than 80 per cent of the men are unable to read or write. This refers particularly to camps where the colored men come from districts far removed from cities or settlements where educational facilities are available. A city-wide reception was tendered in honor of Sergeant Needham Roberts, Wednesday evening, November 6th, at Trenton, N. J., his home town. Mayor Frederick W. Donnelly took a hearty interest in arranging the affair. This is the members of the "Fighting Fifteenth" of New YorYk, (merged into the 369th Infantry), who, with Henry Johnson, put a score more of Huns to flight in one of (Continued on Page 2) ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1918 GENERAL FOCH REFUSES TO DRAW THE COLOR LINE Paris, France.—The story is told how certain southern influence attempting to get Marshal Foch entangled in the web of race prejudice, seeking to segregate Colored officers and soldiers in France, received from the great field marshal the following: "Gentlemen: When General Pershing came to France he found a black man at the head of the French army. France has no color prejudice and persecutes no man on account of color or creed." General Dodds, to whom Marshal Foch referred, was stationed in Cochin, China, for many years in command of the Oriental armies of France, where his military and diplomatic skill were so great that France named him to take charge of the Allied armies in their march to Pekin at the time of the Boxer insurrection. He speaks many languages and dialects and his familiarity with the Chinese language and literature contributed greatly to his pre-eminent success. Negro "Bolshevick" Held Charge of Criminal Libel New York.—William Nicols automobile accessory salesman and orator, living at 141st St. and Lenox avenue, was held on $200 bail by Magistrate Groehl in Yorkville Court for action of the Grand Jury. Nicols is charged by Mrs. Marie C. Downs, of 162 W. 58th street, near Lenox avenue, with criminal libel. The complaint was made following the publishing of an article in the N. Y. Independent, a Negro weekly on Oct. 15th, stating that Mrs. Downs was of Negro blood and, she says, tended to injure her character and reputation. The article was published after Mrs. Downs is said to have refused to allow alleged agitators in her theatre during the Fourth Liberty Loan drive to sell bonds. Bail was Nicols was furnished by James E. Thomas, Jr., 89 W. 134th St. According to witnesses examined by the court, Nicols was the business manager of the Independent when the article was published. William Hawkins, who was elected Assemblyman early this month, is counsel for Niccols. The latter has been active, according to the police in instituting a movement to promote race prejudice among Negro residents in Harlem, and was at one time haled before the district attorney and warned to stop his agitating remarks. He is also known as the "Negro Bolshevist." Mrs. Downs is related to Princess Radziwell and is well known in the theatrical world as a theatre operator in the East. M'KELVEY LAYS OFF COLORED JANITORS Each One Slated to Take Fifteen Days' Vacation Without Pay St. Louis, Mo.—Resolutions passed by the Municipal.Janitors' Union this week disclosed the fact that these city employees are again victims of a so-called "shortage in appropriation." It is said that fifteen janitors were "laid off" Nov. 16 for 15 days without pay and all of the men in this department must take their turn. This order came from Director of Public Safety Jas. N. McKelvey under whose supervision the janitors work. It appears to be substantially the same as the one put into effect by him soon after the Republican city victory in the Spring of 1917. After much loss of time that year, a special appropriation by the Board of Aldermen relieved the situation. The matter has been freely discussed among political workers this week. It is considered strange that a shortage in appropriation should persist in coming soon after election, in the only department where Colored men are employed in large numbers. It is also said that McKelvey has just placed a new man, from his ward, on the janitor's pay roll. PLURIBUS UNUM The Return of The Victors Prepare, you fair maldens, you vallant and virtuous wives, and mothers, you have stood at the helm so nobly and kept the home fires burning to meet and greet your vallant soldier sons, brothers, sweethearts and husbands for they are coming home to stay, not on a furough, but to stay—they have been great, true and brave on the field of battle, as you also have been here at the helm—here, the great base of supplies. Prepare to meet and greet them. Such another gathering when "Johnnie comes marching home," you shall never again see or read of—but alas! they will not all come back; but their work, their valor and glory—they shall come back too, borne on the shoulders of their living comrades; they that sleep at Chateau Thierry, Verdune and the vast Western front, have not died in vain. Their memory shall ever remain with us. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, for yea, says the Spirit, they rest from their labors an their work do follow them."—E. L. R. GERMANS FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE HATED Strassburg, Wednesday, Nov. 28.—Several hundred thousand Germans in Alsace and Lorraine have begun to experience suffering which equals, if it does not exceed, that which the Germans have inflicted upon the natives during the past forty-eight years. "It is not French rule that we dread," said the daughter of the first German station master to arrive in Lorraine after the war of 1870. "It is the native population that will not accept us. We do not dislike them and for my part I cannot understand why they do not like us, after all we have done for them in improving their towns and bringing German culture among them." This lack of comprehension of the attitude of the native population in the provinces is general among the Germans. Only in rare cases did the Germans get across the threshold of family intimacy. Intermarriages were remarkably few while the mingling of immigrants and natives and social organizations was unknown. German inhabitants who affected to ignore this social ostracism while they had the upper hand in official life, now feel it keenly. Some will try to face it out but others say they will return to Germany. REV. JAMES W. HARRIS FIRST NEGRO CALLED TO CHAPLAINCY FROM MO Sedalia, Mo.-The Rev. James M. Harris, pastor of the Taylor Chapel, who was notified by the War Department, Washington, D. C., of his appointment to attend the school for Army Chaplains at Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky., passed his physical examination before the local board of Pettis County and last Tuesday entrained for Camp Taylor. The Rev. Harris, so far as is known, has the honor of being the first Negro called to the chaplaincy from the State of Missouri. He is an A. B. graduate from Oskalosa College and a theological graduate from the Gammon School of Theology, Atlanta Ga. Besides being pastor of Taylor Chapel, he is a teacher at George R. Smith College. White Man Blacks Face To Commit a Crime Okmulgee, Okla.—Convicted of attacking a young woman on a country road two miles east of this city on the night of July 23, Ira E. Williams (white), aged 36, a traveling salesman, was sentenced to ninety-nine years in the state penitentiary. The crime was one of the most brutal ever committed in this section. Williams is accused by some of having blackened his face in order that the crime would be shifted to another race. TRIBUNE RELATIVES MAY NOT MEET TROOP SHIPS AT DOCKS New York, Nov. 29.—Relatives and friends of the first American troops now returning from England will not be permitted to meet the transports when they reach Hoboken, according to a statement made by Brig. Gen. G. H. McManus, embarkation officer at the port of New York, at a conference here today with newspaper men. He did not state whether this policy would apply to other troops returning later to America. While accredited newspaper men may board the ships, he said that the public would not be allowed on the piers, first because of the congestion that would result, and second because of a desire to safeguard public health by making possible a physical examination of the soldiers before they were welcomed by their relatives, in order to make sure they had contracted no illness on the voyage. The first contingents to return, comprising chiefly men in the air service, will proceed directly from the docks, to the camps at which they will be examined and discharged, according to Brigadier General McManus. Germans Abandon Kraut In Their Haste With the American Army of Occupation.—(by Courier to Nancy, by the Associated Press.)—Liberty cabbage made in Germany and there still known as sauerkraut, has been served at many American army messes during the week, five carloads of the tasty edible having been left behind by the withdrawing German army. The Americans on entering Arlon, Belgium, last week, found a well stocked supply depot which the Germans had left intact owing to the confusion of the retirement and lack of transportation. The five freight cars were loaded with barrels of the pickled cabbage, each barrel weighing 300 lbs. It is now being distributed among the messes of the various divisions. In addition to the liberty cabbage the Americans also took possession of several carloads of potatoes, many tons of turnips and other perishables. VAN'S TIRE HOUSE MAKING OWN TIRES Phoenix now has a manufacturing company that is making a special brand of tire right in the city. The tire in question is known as the M.P.—meaning Morey and Palne. The tires are made by Van's Tire House, of which Mr. Morey is manager and part owner. They are constructed of the unwond inner fabric of used tires with a completely new outer covering of rubber. They are guaranteed by their makers to run 2,500 miles, which is as long as many factory-made new tires are guaranteed for. Negro Jazz Band Heads U.S. Boys'London Parade Negro Jazz Band Heads U.S. Boys'London Parade London.—American soldiers stationed here on visiting the city on leave of absence paraded yesterday behind the typical Negro jazz band of 40 pieces. The parade halted in front of Buckingham Palace, where it disbanded. The band then proceeded to the parade grounds, where it gave a concert lasting an hour. Thousands of persons listened to the music. Tonight the band played for a dance under British military control. Ban Is Lifted From Furniture Manufacture Washington.—Cheer up, brides and grooms.

Saving Money for Proverbial "Rainy Day" (By Ralph W. Tyler, Accredited Representative of the Committee on Public Information) ARTICLE V. SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE.—I have just returned from a five days' stay at an S. O. S. camp at which I met a number of Colored officers who are there either as the result of wounds or awaiting reclassification. This particular S. O. S. camp is a casualty camp also to which are sent all officers, white as well as colored, who are to be reclassified as the result of wounds or other causes. Here I met Majors Arthur Williams and Charles L. Hunt, of Illinois; Captain C. L. Hill, of Chicago; Lieutenants E. S. Gillard, Indianapolis; D. W. Anthony, St. Louis; Birney Cox, Columbus, Ohio; D. E. Simelton, Chicago; Fred D. Porter, Wacc, Texas; U. Gaines, Junction City, Kan.; Herdon White, Portland, Me.; B. F. Rudd, Springfield, Ohio; R. C. Allen, Springfield, Ohio, and Walker, of Springfield, Ohio. Lieutenant D. W. Johnson, surgeon, of Columbus, Ohio, is permanently stationed here, attached to the medical corps. I have never, during my stay in France, been accorded such courteous and considerate treatment as I was accorded by General Rosenbaum, the commandant at this camp. He personally conducted me through the barracks on foot, and then accompanied me, in his automobile, on a tour of the grounds. He assured me, and I later confirmed it in conversation with the Colored officers, that there is absolutely no discrimination, because of color, tolerated at this camp, either in barracks, mess or other assignments. He spoke most highly of the Colored officers and soldiers stationed at this camp, and said he was perfectly willing to be quoted as saying the Colored men under him were splendid soldiers. He apparently took great pride in telling of how quickly Colored soldiers learned their duties and how puctual and precise they were in performing duties. Another white officer at this casualty camp, whose considerateness of, and fine treatment accorded Colored soldiers, entitles him to be mentioned in this letter, is Lieut. C. H. Hagar, of Chicago, who is in charge of the officers' casualty company. Every colored officer here speaks in the highest terms of Lieut. Hagar. At the Historic Castle of Blois Near here, and easily and quickly accessible from the camp, stands the historic old Castle of Blois, perhaps the most famous chateau in France, which, although erected in the thirteenth century, is still in a marvelous state of preservation. This old castle has a tragic history. Here Louis of Orleans was assassinated in 1407, Louis XII was born, the Duke de Tuise and his brother, the Cardinal of Lorraine, were murdered at the order of Henri III; here Henri III himself was assassinated, and here Catherine de Medici reigned, poisoned her many noblemen and noblewomen who became victims of her displeasure, and here she died. As one roams through the corridors, royal bed chambers, libraries, counsel and throne and ball rooms of this historical old chateau, still rich in its original decorations and settings, the royal ghosts of the hoary past seem to pass in review before you. This old chateau, at divers times, was occupied by every one of France's reigning kings and queens down to Napoleon. To whatever point the many officers ordered here for reclassification, or recuperation, may be sent, they seem to find much satisfaction in having the unusual opportunity of visiting and roaming through the old historical Castle of Blois, which has defied six centuries to shatter or decay it. And the sleepy, historical town that lies below and around the Castle of Blois, with its incomparable architecture, its massive walls, its towers and interior decorations which the present day, with all of civilization's progress, cannot equal, unfolds to our Colored soldiers so much of the past as to, at least partially, compensate them for having been ordered to this casualty camp located nearby, where seven real live generals, a score or more of colonels and lieutenant colonels and majors and captains and lieutenants too numerous to be mentioned, some of them Colored, anxiously await further orders, quite complacently, and unmurmuringly, they are doing the "watchful waiting" stunt. Colored officers awaiting reclassification form less than two per cent of the total number at this casualty camp, and only perhaps about one per cent of the total number of commissioned Colored officers in the army. This is quite a tribute to the efficiency of Colored officers. But who would not complacently and unmurmuringly wait where much of France's long-past history was made? Here Victor Hugo once lived, and here he wrote the first chapters of his immortal "Les Miserables;" near here still stands the castles of Cardinal Amboise and the Duke of Epernon; the church of Saint Vinbuilteent, erected in 1620; and in which are the tombs of Gaston of Orleans and Mademoiselle de Montpensier; the church of Saint Laumrt, built in the thirteenth century, and the old College of Augustine Thierry. Our Colored officers at this casualty camp, while the dine and sip their Bordeaux wine of a vintage old, but which contains not the least semblance of a "kick," discuss French history of the past, much of which was written in blood, that was made in and about the old Castle of Blois. Up to date, the most delightful hours I have spent in France were spent in this casualty camp, companioned by the Colored officers before mentioned, many of whom I knew personally, roaming back through the days made forever historic by the Castle of Blois. At the present time there rests in this old castle a number of treasured old paintings, brought here for safekeeping—to save their being destroyed by the hands of the impious Hun. Colored Stevedores Doing "Essential Work" at Base Forts SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE.—Figures just made available show that for the month of September there was handled at the American base ports in France 767,648 tons, or a daily average of 25,588 tons, an increase of nearly ten per cent over August. When it is considered that Colored stevedores handled by far the largest per cent of this tonnage, some idea can be formed of the very important service Colored stevedores are rendering the government here in France, and how necessary are they to the success of the allies. The work of Colored stevedores may be menial, and is laborious, but it is as essential as the manning of guns at the front. Fact is, without these stevedores first unloading and aiding in transporting the guns, munitions and supplies to the front, there would be no manning of guns at the front. One who sees the stevedore's work notes with what rapidity and cheerfulness they work, and what a very important coog they are in Mar's machinery.

The German mind does not seem to grasp the fact that Germany is understood by the allies and that no trickery can, for a moment, mitigate the terms that will be imposed at the peace conference. Germany is guilty, Austria is guilty, Turkey is guilty, Bulgaria is guilty. They will be sentenced separately. Austria, historically, is the worst offender. She hasn't a single good or generous deed to her credit. Marked up against her are oppressions of Italy, Poland, Serbia, Rumania and the non-German-speaking peoples who constitute the major portion of the Austrian empire. Next in line, historically, comes the "unspeakable Turk." The Turk is an Asiatic of Mongolian descent, an interloper who has cursed Europe with his presence for almost seven centuries. He has been unprogressive, and his rule has been one of murder and assassination. His infamies culminated in the torture and death of nearly eight hundred thousand Armenians, a record of inhuman cruelty unequaled since the days of Jinghis Khan, who made it a practice to butcher whole peoples. Historically, Germany is not as bad as Austria or Turkey, because the German empire has been in existence less than a half century, but her atrocities during four years of the war were worse than anything ever charged to Austria as part of one event. Germany's conduct in Belgium was not quite as horrible as that of the Turk in Armenia, though it is probable that just as many women and girls were subjected to the vilest brutalities. The fact that not so many people of Belgium and France were murdered as there were of Armenians is due chiefly to Germany's need of labor, which could be secured through enslavement of their victims. The German is a far better business man than the Turk. So far as Bulgaria is concerned, her king did all the evil that his cunning could invent. But the Bulgars were the first to surrender and throw themselves on the mercy of the court, and it is possible that this fact may serve to mitigate the sentence in some degree. But against Germany is the charge that she actually instigated, for her own benefit, the greatest war in all history. She incited Austria to declare war on Serbia, knowing full well that Russia would resent it, and that for her own protection France would be compelled to stand by Russia. She knew that Great Britain would go to war if the neutrality of Belgium was violated. For forty years generally, and for twenty-five years specifically, Germany had been preparing to impose her will on the rest of the world, and for booty raids on her near neighbors in Europe. Gefmany must, in the circumstances, be given the severest punishment, because it was she who incited the others to their participation in the most hideous crime of all history. If a man called you a liar, you would resent it, wouldn't you? If you were accused of being dishonest, you would rightfully be enraged. If any one impugned your HONOR, you would be highly indignant. If you didn't resent any of these aspersions against your character, there would be something radically wrong with you. And yet, your honor IS at stake! Not only your own individual honor, but the honor of your city and your state. Every unfilled War Savings pledge is a badge of dishonor. It is as conspicuously a symbol of dishonesty and lack of honor as was that significant scarlet letter, which published to the world the dishonor of Hster Prynne. The war is over. There will be no more fighting. Uncle Sam has an approximate two million boys over in France. What would you think of Uncle Sam's sence of honor if it should be announced that the demobilization of our armies would be made in Europe, and that the lads would be expected to defray their own expenses back to America? But Uncle Sam won't do that, unless we, ourselves, fail the boys, for Uncle Sam is a figurative person. He simply stands for US—collectively and individually. It is up to US to bring home those brave boys who went into the front line trenches of France to fight for US. Every unfulfilled War Savings pledge says, "Well, the war is over. I should worry about how the boys get home." Last June we pledged to buy War Savings Stamps to the amount of two billion dollars. We gave our individual word of HONOR that Uncle Sam could depend upon us for a stipulated sum of money. We repudiate this obligation, voluntarily assumed, we not only besmirch our own escuteon of Honor, but we place our city and our state in an ignominious position where the finger of scorn and shame may be leveled at them. BUT, we are NOT hars—we are NOT dishonest—and we DO value our Honor above all things. This we have proved in each and every patriotic campaign by our generous response to the government's call for financial support. Fulfill your Pledge; buy your quota; and wear an HONOR BADGE—Exchange.

A. huts over here, I was particular to make inquiry as to the provident inclination of Colored troops, and especially those in the service battalions. I was gratified to learn that a most appreciable number of the men are saving up for a rainy day—taking care of their money. I was cognizant of the fact, before sailing for France, that there were many solicitous members of our race, back home, who were wondering what the Colored soldiers here were doing with their money, since the government supplied them with everything necessitous.

Film of "Our Colored Fighters" to Be Released. Announcement is made that the Division of Films of the United States Committee on Public Information has made arrangements for the release of an inspiring patriotic moving picture, "Our Colored Fighters," through the Downing Film Company, Astor Theater building, New York City. By communicating with this corporation colored patriotic organizations can secure this film and give the people of every section of the country an opportunity to see it and to assist in raising funds for the various war relief agencies that are conducting "drives" for the benefit of our boys at the front. "Our Colored Fighters" is a two-reel picture, illustrating graphically the important part the Negro troops have taken in the world war. It pictorializes the enlistment and training of the colored soldiers in the cantonments and also shows them in action in some of the most thrilling combats overseas. As an illustration of the international interest that the Negro's participation in the war is attracting, a number of striking comments have been made on the war work of the American Negro by "West Africa," an admirably gotten-up weekly newspaper published in London, England, and capably edited by Albert Cartwright. This is the only British weekly devoted exclusively to the Allies' countries in West Africa, the majority of whose people are Africans. Mr. Cartwright, himself a native African, expresses a desire for all possible information as to what the "Aferican-descended people of the United States" are doing for the common cause HOW I OVERCAME FEAR Afraid? Now? I am afraid neither of God, man nor devil! Why should I be of God, who is the loving All Father who planned everything for my good. And as far as being afraid of man is concerned, what man is there that is more than a man? I am a man among men, therefore neither president, king, kaiser nor emperor can make me afraid. None of them can do more than imprison, hurt, kill the body, and what does that amount to? They can never touch the "me," the inner self, the "I" that is of God, under His protection, and that will go back to Him. So I now go through life with h my head held aloft, fearless and unafraid, for, as far as the old devil of my Methodistic days I concerned, I just tell him to go to hell, where he belongs, and attend to his own business; I and mine are no concern of his. As soon as these blessed assurances took full possession of me there came the belief that I ought to be free from the ill health that so long had cursed me. God was a God of health, not of disease. The world was full of health. It was mine to call upon. I resolved I would do so. For years, I had felt the hopelessness of my own case. I had seen the terror the world felt of Black Braves Over There he's bosom, westerday; while fighting, racy. Rev. H. D. Greene. house when the war is ended.

I came to the conclusion that, fundamentally, as a matter of principle, of right, of justice, of God's planning, this was all wrong; must be wrong, or there was no God. As I was assured there was a loving power in the universe, I determined to break loose from this incubus of fear of disease. I began to call upon the powers of the universe. I breathed deeply as I walked, and allowed sun, air, rain and fog to caress my whole body. I sought to be as near "natural" as I could; took pattern from the Indians; went to bed early, got up early, ate little, ate simply, bathed often and soothingly, and worked hard. For I had begun to gain insight into the greatest lesson I think I ever learned, viz., that the natural way, God's way, to get more of anything is to use what you have. As I got health I worked harder, in what I conceived to be work that would benefit mankind. Thus I grew stronger yearly until now, as I near the sixtieth milestone, as I am younger in feeling than I was at twenty-five; I am able to do ten times the work I did then and I do it easily. Three days ago I met a prominent physician of the city where I am now working.

FINANCERS PREDICT ERA OF PROSPERITY NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Better times than this country has experienced in this generation were predicted today by leaders in financial, commercial and industrial circles of this city, who have just completed a sweeping survey of after-war conditions at present and for the immediate future. To the task of rebuilding and replenishing the whole world, America can and will rise with more force and financial success than ever in its history, these men declare, after taking stock of the immediate resources and opportunities of the whole nation. Even the most rapid demobilization and immigration cannot check the prosperity pending here and all over the country; it is calculated, while work and wages are waiting for millions on millions of men and women in the enormous increase bound to come in renewed peace-time activities. FIVE NEGRO SOLDIERS OFFER THEIR BLOOD SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION RECITES SACRIFICIES OF (Special to the National Negro Press Association from Somewhere in France, by Wm. E. Stephenson, special war correspondent)—“These boys (the Negro soldier) are the most wonderful I have ever seen. They never complain; they never say they are in pain; we ask some whom we know are suffering intensely how they are getting along; “Oh, pretty well,” is the statement as is just handed out as coming from Major John W. Moorehead, eminent surgeon of New York City, in charge of the large Red Cross hospital, and who was treating a number of soldiers who had participated in the great drive in which the Kansas troops were a part. This is but one instance of the scores reported where our boys, knowing the flow of carnage and blood, knowing what they were facing for the folks at home, have, even though in pain, even though they be dying, or mortally wounded, displayed courage of which even *the red men of yonder days would have been proud.

BERLIN PAPERS SAY POLES KILL 1,100 HEBREWS London.—Eleven hundred Jews were killed in the recent masacre in Lemberg, according to dispatches in the Berlin newspapers transmitted by the Copenhagen correspondent of the Central News. Hundreds of Jews are said to have barricaded themselves in a synagogue which was set afire. Those who attempted to escape from this refuge were fired upon. the effects of gas and he addressed them as follows, stating: "I got two officers who need blood. Is there any one here who will volunteer to give them some of their own blood?" Before the words had died out of the major's mouth or before he had a chance even to realize that he had made a statement, with one accord there came "Sure, we will give them all they want," and every man present bared their arm and offered it to the eminent surgeon for the extracting of blood. Four of the volunteers were accepted, their blood was taken und the transfusion made. It is reported that the officers will recover. On another occasion he said that a Negro with a wound in his arm came rushing into the hospital alone and said: "Gosh! my whole regiment is destroyed, only two left, me and another fellow coming along behind me." That seemed to be all the excitement that prevailed and it is said this same fellow was ready and willing to get back into the fray. Surely good must come out of such courage. The sons of America are exhibiting a heroism such as is born only of true patriotism. A new day is coming not only for the people of France and of the United States, but for all mankind. Through all the blood, through all the shot and shell, the gates of death, men are reaching out for higher things. I know this is true for numbers of them who have been through this earthly hell on the front line say that there they felt the power of God as never before. Let those whose loved ones have gone down in battle feel proud of the fact that they are fighting for a cause that which there is none greater, the brotherhood of man.

A dress should be finished carefully, pressed and put away fora week at least, before it is worn. ‘Then when it is taken out again the difficulties encountered in the making will have been forgotten; the dress will seem entifely new and will have all the freshness of one com- ing from a store. cigs, eta Plead for a Fair Deal in Army, Navy and Civil Life BOSTON, Mass.—President Wilson has been appealed to by Boston Ne groes to ask Congress for an anti. lynching law and for measures to end discrimination against the colored race in the army, navy and in civil life. A resolution adopted at a meet- ing last night in Tremont Temple was today sent to Washington. The meet: ing was a service commemorative of the life of the late Mrs. Geraldine Lou: ise Trotter, ‘The resolution calls for a commis- sion with adequate powers and com- posed in part of Colored men to in- vestigate and report. The President is asked to make the matter the sub- ject of a special message to Congress. The resolution was signed by the Rey. Matthew A. N. Shaw, president and William Reed, secretary of. the committe in charge of the Geraldine Louise Trotter memorial fund, sub- scriptions to which were received at the meeting. Mee tit roa The Stalwart é Negro Soldier (From The Brooklyn N. Y. Standard Union.) “Of the American Negro soldiers tt “has been frequently said since we shave been fighting in France, that ‘they are decidedly the most cheerful troops who have spilt blood in this ‘war, and as highly courageous as ‘any who have shouldered guns, This ig not an exaggerated tribute, for the testimony of the Allies, and, of course of Gen, Pershing and other white of- ficers bears out this estimate, while the War Department at Washington has" abundant proof, in the way of records, showing the bravery of these ‘boys : | Some of those who recognized the extremely sociable and good natured ‘qualities of the Negro questioned his ‘ability as a fighter. They feared he “would not stand up well in a bayonet charge, or in an advance upon singing ‘machine guns, or where shells from the big cannot were bursting and pate the earth. But that was a | superficial view. Under his smile and ‘ready laugh or grin the colored man has the qualities of a fighter—cool- /neas, patience, steadfastness, opti- mism, pluck and, of course, courage. All these have been brought out in | recent months, and honors have fal- Hien upon him in France in a manner that is cause for national pride. In every départment of the Army, Fast wireless telegraphy to the san- itary squad, the Negro has played his part and played it conscientiously, and it is gratifying to know that this city has contributed a very large number of Negro fighters to the na tion's army, for the percentage of beet, here has been high. Easy to mould to the requirements of dis- cipline, happy under any and all cir |cumstanees, he is an exemplary s0l dier. On the charge he sees red, as the fighter should, and in rest billets or even in the trench he seldom loses his cheerful outlook upon 4ife. | Several colored troops have had |the French Croix de Guerre con ferred upon them, while honors from Washington haye been numerous. ‘These “bronze boys” have measured up to every hope, and a grateful na tion can never forget its debt.” The most abominable of all graft- ers is the church grafter. He gets his rakeoff from church rallies and the collection plate. Ever seen one? THE PHOENEX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING.

Be it said in Ajo’s favor that we have,some of the best citizens ‘to be found anywhere. T want to say to the citizens of Ajo, let us take our station in life as real American: citizens and ‘prove to the world that we are part and parcel of this great democracy.

There is absolutely no danger of contracting influenza at this church for all the sanitary rules have been complied with. Rev. C. A. Gilmore, the pastor of this church said that if germs lurk only where there is dirt or other unsanitary conditions, then the Second Baptist church is germ proof. Rev. A. C. Caldwell, pastor of the C. M. E. church, corner of seventh street and East Jefferson, has not neglected the cleansing of his church. Here too, will be found a clean, well ventilated and sanitary edifice in which you may worship with out fear of contracting influenza because of any uncleanliness. Rev. J. H. Jones, pastor of Grace Church, 822 South Montezuma avenue has had the interior of his church thoroughly cleansed and fumigated.

Trade with Tribune advertisers. To Winter In Phoenix— Mr. T. W. Green, the famous chef who has prepared thousands of meals, every one of which would have tickled the palate of the most profound dispeptic, is again in our midst. Mr. Green has been in the Agua Fria district the past several weeks, and realizing that Phoenix was the best winter resort in the State, decided to come hither. Unless some of his former employers learn of his whereabouts, kidnap him and take him baca in their employ, he will remain in Phoenix all winter. Here's the Point— "What's the use of advertising in the Tribune in order to reach the colored people, when three-fourths of your subscribers take the city dallies." Thus spake a merchant to the advertising solicitor the other day. We replied that an advertisement in the big dallies was a general appeal to the public and that an advertisement in the Tribune is a direct appeal to the colored people. In other words, one is a GENERAL INVITATION, the other a PERSONAL INVITATION. Which do you consider the most important, a public invitation or a private, personal letter inviting YOU? We ask that our readers consider each advertisement in the Tribune a direct appeal to them and treat it as you would a PERSONAL INVITATION. The Fashion Millinery, 115 North First avenue, is conducting a sale of ladies' and childrens' millinery at greatly reduced prices. You ladies who appreciate bargains, will do well to attend this sale. They extend you a personal invitation to visit their establishment.

Miss Goodie is a hair dresser and manicurist and will probably engage in business here. Mrs. Brown brought the two little daughters of the late Dr. La Fance with her. Dr. La Fance was a prominent physician in Denver and enjoyed a large patronage. A Sumptuous Repast—What was probably the most elaborate spread of the season was a dinner party given by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Williams, Sunday, December 1, at their residence, 1013 South Fifth avenue. A big twenty-pound turkey with all the trimmings, including cranberry sauce, fruit salad, corn on cob, escalloped oysters, celery en branch, French peas, mashed potatoes, hot corn bread, pumpkin pie (like mother tried to make and couldn't). Twentieth Century ice cream with Irish potato cake and demi-tasse, were served the guests. Mrs. Williams is noted for her culinary skill but on this occasion she really outdid herself. To say that the guests enjoyed this feast is to express it mildly. After dinner, while the ladies of the party were chatting and vying with each other in the discussion of the merits and demerits of other and various female personages, the host brought out a box of imported Havana Specials that quickly won favor with the male guests. This typical southern hospitality shown by Mr. and Mrs. Williams will long be remembered by those who were so fortunate as to share it. The guest list included ed: Mrs. Emma L. Lott, Mrs. A. R. Smith, Misses Eleanor and Rachel Smith and the writer. Afternoon callers were; Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Stearns and daughter, Bobbie, who remained to partake of some of the Twentieth Century ice cream, the potao'cake and eat a piece of real pumpkin pie. Mr. Stearns remarked that our dear old mothers never saw the day they could cook like Mrs. Williams. At a late hour the guests departed, all declaring Mr. and Mrs. Williams entertainers par excellence. Buys New Dodge Car—Dr. W. C.

Newell) There is great rejoicing among the people of Tucson over the fact that the board of health has lifted the ban. The children were thronging the streets, making their way to the several school houses on Tuesday morning, December 3. All of this bespeaks much freedom to those who have been shut in-doors so long on account of influenza. The members and friends of both the Methodist and Baptist churches are contemplist and a great following on Sunday, December 8. Together we shall be thankful to God for permitting us to go about our work again. The Rev. Allen, presiding elder of the A. M. E. church, has been in the city several days. Of course, when he is in Tucson now he is caused to ride in a double saddle, as Prince's chapel is yet without a pastor. Mrs. Lucile Machmore, with her three little children, will leave Tucson for Portland, Oregon, on the 8th inst. to join her husband, who has been at work in the shiypards for some time. Mr. Machmore has made arrangements to settle his family in Portland. Mt. Calvary Baptist church and. Sunday school regret to say good-by to this woman and her children. We can only hope for them a life of happiness. The enterprising spirit seems to be making some inroads among our folk here now. Another first-class new cafe has been opened, entitled Everybody's Restaurant. This place is on Sixth avenue and is in charge of Mrs. Berry Kay & Co. We are thankful to say that those who were sick among our folk are all convalescing at this time. The Negro and Democracy Inasmuch as there has been, and perhaps shall be, for ages a spirit of prejudice characterizing the lives of the Anglo-Saxons of this country, and, too, a disposition upon their part to want to keep the Negro down in the ditch. They also fail to realize that to keep the Negro in the ditch they must stay down with him. The time is now fully ripe for the Negro to make a great struggle to rise. Let us first consider that the same God whose all-seeing eye was upon the twenty Negroes who landed upon the American soil at Jamestown, Va., in the year 1619; that same all-seeing eye is at this time overlooking twelve million American Negroes. Yes, he saw us in every conflict in which America has engaged. He was there when four and a half million Negroes were emancipated, January 1, 1865. He was not asleep when the 14th and 15th Amendments were made a part of the American Constitution. He also took cognizance of the fact that the Negro has always been loyal; so much so, that, while the white man fought to continue chattel slavery, the Negro remained upon the plantation raising supplies to sustain his master while in war. That isn't all; he protected the virtue of the white men's wives and daughters, and committed no assaults upon them. The Negro has fought gallantly in all of America's wars. In our race there are no Benedict Arnolds; and there are none of our people who have ever struck down a president. It is sad, however, to say, yet it is true, when we are fighting in the defense of the flag of our country, we are simply protecting the American white man, while they lynch more Negroes. The great mistake which we are making is that we fail to organize ourselves. This is the only way we can ever be a power for good—the Negro and democracy. We should contend for democracy because we fought for it, both at home and abroad. The President's peace message, and a league of nations, did not overlook us because we were black. We were considered as a part of the great human family, who were struggling for human rights and justice. Let us see to it that we have a seat at the welcome table from a civic, economic, political, educational and religious standpoint. We can do this by organizing and keeping ourselves well organized. Every Negro in America should line up on January 1, 1919, and engage in a great emancipation celebration. In every city, town, village or hamlet, where there are as many as a dozen Negroes, there should be a splendid literary program rendered. We should also engage ourselves during the year 1919 in giving thanks to God and enjoying the celebration of 300 years on American soil. In spite of the many disadvantages surrounding our lives, and there are many, we can say deep in our souls, the Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad. He has enabled us to surmount many of the difficulties; yet there are countless numbers to be overcome. We can overcome them only in proportion as we diligently seek higher ground. Take courage, brother. Do not stumble, though the way be dark as dark as night. There is a star that shines above you. "I trust in God and do the right." I want to say a word on the death of Mrs. Millie Marshall, who departed this life Nov. 28, about 2 a. m. Mrs. Marshall hailed from Frankford, Ky., about thirteen years ago, so I am informed.
