GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE ARE PERSECUTED BUT KEEP PUSHING FORWARD
2
The Jews called themselves "God's chosen people." It is perfectly natural for people to speak well of themselves; for, we rarely get commendation from others. And while 'tis said that self praise is no recommendation; yet, honesty compels the statement that the Jews are a wonderful people. Their mastery of the principles from which success ever springs, can be attributed largely to the persecution that has followed them so persistently even for centuries before Moses sang his baby song as he nestled midst the swaying bull rushes on the Nile. Cruelty drove together and solidified the race. Their life became an exemplification of the Dumasism, "One for all, and all for one." They learned the value of education and race loyalty, consequently their rabbis and other leaders were always educated and loyal men. They could not see the wisdom of "the blind leading the blind." They learned the value of virtue in women, so they gave them women every incentive to be virtuous and surrounded them with laws and other forces to keep them so, for they were to be the mothers of their children. Jewish men do not "befoul their own nests." They learned the value of money, and we may say, with Montesquieu, "wherever there is money, there are Jews." They have used it as a lever for centuries, and through money, backed by intelligence, they have stormed the citadel of prejudice, and wrung from an unwilling public every right and privilege sacred to citizenship. They have learned the value of the arts, and study has brought them to the proud eminence of culture which ever engender the envy and jealousy of those less fortunate in wooing the goddess of fame. WE MAY WELL LEARN FROM THE JEWS! In years long covered with the dust of ages, they were slaves, and between their Egyptian or Ethiopian rulers, their lot was most unenviable. "But the stone that the builders rejected, has become the chief stone of the corner!" They were not chosen by God particularly for his people, for, "If all he created, he smiles upon all."

As a matter of fact, they chose themselves, fixed a standard and lived up to it. Should we not do likewise and get busy! Busy! Busy! -The Union.

RECORD OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DURING THE WORLD WAR
Washington, D. C.—Immediately following the declaration of war in 1917, the faculty of Howard university school of medicine tendered its services to the surgeon general of the U. S. Army to be used in whatever capacity that would best serve the government.
Four members of the faculty were on draft boards. Four were contract surgeons. Nine members enlisted so that their medical knowledge might be used in the service of the government and over one hundred fifty of the alumni were either enlisted service men or officers in the army. One of these officers was awarded the distinguished service medal; another was recommended for the Croix de Guerre; one made the supreme sacrifice and several were severely injured. A former student also was awarded the Croix de Guerre. A member of the faculty discovered a reliable gas detector which was used by the armies of the Allies. Aside from this record about one hundred fifty students enlisted in the medical reserve corps.
The charts, models, specimens and skeletons of the school of medicine were loaned and used for the instruction of Red Cross units.

LOCAL MINISTER HAS HAD
LONG AND VARIED EXPERI-
ENCE AS PASTOR IN CHARGE
(By Rev. E. M. Clark, Presiding Elder of the A. M. E. Zion Church).
Rev. W. J. Conquest, pastor of the First A. M. E. Zion church of Phoenix, Ariz, is a native of North Carolina. He received his education at Princess Anne academy, Maryland, and at Lincoln university, Pennsylvania. He was ordained Elder by Bishop J. W. Hood and has served as pastor of many prominent charges. His last charge, before coming to Phoenix, was at Vallejo, Cal., where he was sent by our Bishop without a dollar or a member. He bought a fine church in a good location with a pipe organ and other modern church conveniences. This property is conservatively estimated at $15,000.
He was transferred to Fayetteville, N. C., to one of the oldest and most prominent charges in the denomination, made famous by the services of Bishop Hood when he was a pastor. He refused this excellent charge to build a church for Zion in Phoenix. He already has secured a fine site at the corner of Grant and 7th avenue, where he will begin services at once.
I. as his presiding elder, stopped over in Phoenix to investigate his work and find that he has just closed a successful revival in which many souls were converted and added to our church.

Startling evidence, in the form of an affidavit and statement from a white man, will be offered regarding the exploitation of Negro tenant farmers which led to the trouble in Arkansas, 'it was announced.
God help the ugly man who appears before those women judges.

(By Associated Negro Press)
New York, N. Y., Jan. 14.—At a meeting of 1000 Negroes in the Palace Casino, 135th Street and Madison avenue, under the auspices of the Pioneer Development corporation, a movement to promote a bank capitalized at $1,000,000 for the exclusive use of Negroes was inaugurated.
Augustus Duncan said that although the Negroes put $17,000,000 annually into banks now, they are unable to borrow money for commercial and business purposes from the banks operated by white men.
John W. Lewis, the Negro president of the Industrial Savings Bank of Washington, D. C., said his institution has 6,082 depositors, with total deposits of $523,000, affording the Negroes of Washington an opportunity to borrow money with which to compete in business with the whites.

COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG IS WARMLY WELCOME
Washington, D., C.-Col. Charles Young, U. S. Army, retired, was an honored guest at Howard university a few days ago. As soon as he entered Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel he was recognized by the student body and warmly welcomed. Col. Young was introduced by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university, who referred in detail to the warm place Colonel Young has held in the affections of the colored people ever since his graduation from West Point Military Academy in 1889, and to his loyal and patriotic services in every part of the world as a soldier of the U. S. Army. Col. Young spoke eloquently and forcefully of present day conditions and opportunities, and counseled the students of the university to fit themselves for places of leadership in the great programs of reconstruction. Col. Young is spending thirty days in Washington preparatory to sailing for Liberia, where he is to have charge of the Liberian Constabulary Force under the new five million dollar loan program of the Liberian government.

CHICAGO WILL BUILD $2,000,000 SCHOOL FOR COLORED YOUTH
(By Associated Negro Press)
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 14.—A resolution demanding that Negroes be permitted to exercise their right of franchise as granted them in the Constitution of the United States was passed by the Union League, a Republican organization of colored citizens. The resolution reads:
The Union League, a republican organization organized in 1916, for civic, social and political purposes, has from its incipiency taken an active part in all public spirited movements and has also given its undivided support to every movement, both civic and political, which had attendency to racial advancement. The league believes uncompromisingly in the fundamental principles of republicanism and is unalterably opposed to political autocracy, and, realizing the shortcomings of the past, it is looking forward for developments in the reconstruction for the betterment of racial conditions.
The Negro is 100 per cent American, not because he helped to redeem it from the wilderness by the energies of his arm, but because he has bathed it with his blood, watered it with his tears and hallowed it.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31. Our people employed by the railroads are greatly disturbed over the Anderson amendment to the Esch railroad bill and have started a campaign against it. The Anderson amendment was adopted by the house on November 14, after a debate of one day, at the instance of organized labor, and was a substitution for the provision recommended by the interstate and foreign commerce committee making property of unions liable for damages caused the carriers by strikes. They are protesting because the Anderson amendment only specifies the four railway brotherhoods and the international and national unions for representation on the adjustment boards. They claim that as they are not recognized by organized labor, this is an unfair discrimination against them.

COLORED CITIZENS OF INDIANAPOLIS ARE STRONG REPUBLICANS
(By Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Jan. 14.—A new departure in educational advancement is about to be launched in Chicago, when one of the largest educational institutions for the Race in the country will be established here. The school will be known as the Morton Culver Hartzell Social Center, and the initial outlay will be $250,000. It is expected that within a short time more than $2,000,000 will be spent on the institution. The school will be established on the site of the old Trinity Methodist-Episcopal church. The school will be backed by funds from the great Methodist-Episcopal church, raised in the centenary movement. The school is the outcome of southern migration, and larger educational opportunities.
"SOCIETE FRANCAISE" RECEIVES IN HONOR OF FRENCH AMBASSADOR
Washington, D. C.-The "Societe Francaise" of Howard university gave a "Soiree de Gala" Friday evening, December 19th, in honor of His Excellency M. L'Ambassadeur Jusserand. The reception was held in Carnegie library on the university campus. The occasion was one of particular moment. Almost at the last moment, however, the ambassador himself found it impossible to attend on account of diplomatic duties, but M. Henri was present to represent his excellency and the French embassy.
The reception was honored by the presence of M. Monravia, minister from Haiti; the minister from Uruguay, and a representative of the Equador legation. In the absence of the president of the university, Ex-Chief Justice Stanton J. Peele, president of the board of trustees of Howard university, addressed words of welcome to the gentlemen from foreign countries, emphasizing the fact that the doors of Howard university are open to students of color from any country. M. Henri in greeting the society, expressed the great gratitude of France for the part that the American Negro played in the world war. He stated that Ambassador Jusserand personally observed American Negro soldiers in actual combat in the St. Mihiel sector, and that he had indicated unfeigned admiration and commendation for the splendid fighting qualities of these men. In a brief speech in the French tongue, the minister of Uruguay lauded the work which the university is doing, and expressed high hopes for its prosperity. M. Monravia spoke of the common ties which bind the Haitien Republic and the colored Americans and of his endorsement of the efforts of the "Societe Francaise" to promote the knowledge and usefulness of the French language. Professor Metz P. Lochard, head of the department of French of the university, who is primarily responsible for the staging of the "gala" occasion, greeted the guests in French on behalf of the society, while Dean Kelly Miller conveyed the respects of the student body. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, served as master of ceremonies, introducing the several speakers with appropriate remarks.

Our view of politics and the politician is expressed in the following poem which was contributed by one who knows the game:
The Candidate
"Father, who comes to our house so late?" "Hush, my child, 'tis the candidate."
Fit example of human woes—
Early he comes and late he goes,
He greets the woman with courtly grace,
He kisses the little black baby's face.
He calls to the fence, the gardner at work,
He bores the merchant, he bores the clerk,
The blacksmith, while his anvil rings,
He greets, and this song he always sings:
"Father, who comes to our house so late?"
"Hush, my child, 'tis the candidate."
Fit example of human woes—
Early he comes and late he goes,
He greets the woman with courtly grace,
He kisses the little black baby's face.
He calls to the fence, the gardner at work,
He bores the merchant, he bores the clerk,
The blacksmith, while his anvil rings,
He greets, and this song he always sings:
"Howdy, howdy, howdy-do,
How is your wife and how are you?
Ah! it fits my fists as no other can—
The horny hand of the working man."
"Husband, who is that man at the gate?" "Hush, my love, 'tis the candidate." "Husband, why can't he work like you, Has he nothing at home to do?" "My dear, whenever a man is down, No cash at home, no credit in town, Too stupid to preach, too proud to beg, Too timid to rob and too lazy to dig, Then into his auto his legs he flings And to the dear people this song he sings:

COLORED MASONIC TEMPLE TO COST $30,000.00

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
COAST BANKS ORDER 100,000 HAND BOMBS
Grenades Intended for Our Doughboys Given Away Free
San Francisco—Banks and Trust Companies of the seven states in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District have ordered nearly 100,000 hand grenades which they will give free to purchasers of War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates. The grenades are expected to arrive at the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco from Washington within the next thirty days, but owing to probable freight delays, no exact date of arrival can be given.
These hand grenades which the War Department had on hand when the armistice was signed, all loaded with TNT to bomb the Germans out of their machine gun nests and dugouts, have been turned into savings banks by simply taking out the TNT and cutting a coin slot in the side. Save for those alterations they are regular hand grenades known as the Mills Bomb No. 11. As souvenirs of the Great War they have been sought after avidly in the East, where one enterprising firm, which managed somehow to get a few of them, put them on the market at a dollar each. They sold like hot cakes. Persons up to twelve years of age can get a grenade by purchasing one War Savings Stamp; 12 to 18 years, two stamps; over 18, one $100 or one $1000 Treasury Savings Certificate, all of which mature in five years and bring four per cent interest compounded quarterly.
Ask any bank about them and get your name in today. The supply is limited. These are the only hand grenades in this country. They were ready for shipment to our dugboys when the war ended and were turned over to the Treasury Department by the War Department to stimulate thrift and saving through the purchase of Thrift and War Stamps regularly.
Young People's Economic League Boycotts Merchants Who Overcharge
Dallas, Texas—In its fight against the high cost of living, the Young People's Economic League of this city is urging everybody to refuse to buy high priced clothing and shoes, to purchase groceries and meats only where they are being sold at a reasonable price and to put what has been saved thereby into War Savings Stamps and eventually into Registered Treasury Savings Certificates.
The Young People's Economic League, composed of both men and women, is working hand in hand with the Housewives' Chamber of Commerce, which was a prime mover in establishing a municipal market place, where farmers bring their produce and sell directly to consumers. This municipal market proved a success from its inception.
"By buying carefully," said one of the committee chairmen of the Young People's Economic League, "considerable money can be saved, even with prices as high as they are now. We are urging everybody to take what they have actually saved and invest it in War Savings Stamps. They will thus be putting dollars whose purchasing power is low at work earning interest until the time when they are worth more.
"Money invested in War Savings Stamps is always earning more money for the investor and can always be secured, with accrued interest, on ten days' written notice. In these days of high prices, it behooves all of us to save what we can. The war may be over but the profiteer is still waging a merry little war of his own, and savings form one of the best weapons with which to whip him."

HE'S GOT MONEY
"He's got money." Admit that when you hear that said of a man you instinctively look him over—look him over pretty respectfully as a rule. Whether you want to admit it or not, you have a bit of admiration for him. Why? Because he is a man above the general run of human beings. He is a man who is independent—a man who looks the other fellow in the eye and tells him to "go to hell." He can't be bullied. He knows his rights and is in a position to demand them. His money gives him that power. Independence is the open doorway to happiness. Only the possession of money or of things worth money can give independence. There is only one legitimate way to get money. Earn it and save it. All the capital in the world today was first earned and then saved.
You -everyman and everywoman- can be independent. Each week or month take so much out of your wage or salary envelope and invest in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. Live on what is left. Meanwhile the money put into the government securities goes to work earning 4 per cent interest compounded quarterly.
Speaker Mingo died recently at the age of 120 years. He lived in Texas, but was a native of Virginia.

OUT OF THE CHAFING DISH.

for time, much of the food may be prepared before-hand and kept warm in the charing dish. One of the charms of the charing dish, however, is seeing the food prepared and cooked at the table.
Panned Oysters.—This is a dish which will be safe for the least experienced, as it is so easy to cook and is something well liked by the average person. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in the blazer and when hissing hot turn in twenty nice large oysters which have been drained and well dried between towels. As soon as the edges curl, dust with pepper and salt and serve at once on toast.
Tomato Rabbit.—Take some thick slices of whole wheat bread, remove the crust and cut, into sandwich shape. Spread one slice with salt, paprika, dry mustard and a little Worcestershire with a slice of ripe tomato or tomato pulp. Cover with grated cheese. Put over a second slice of bread and press together. Saute in butter until the bread is brown on both sides.
Sweetbreads and Mushrooms.—Parboil two small pairs of sweetbreads and remove all the fiber. Cut each into two pieces. Heat a tablespoonful of butter, lay them in, sauce quickly, turning them once. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and lay on a hot dish. Have ready half a can of mushrooms (or fresh ones, cooked in butter). Add them with a cupful of rich cream, thicken by dredging with a level tablespoonful of flour and cook until smooth. Pour the mixture on the hot platter around the sweetbreads.
Crab Flakes With Red Peppers.—Chop the whites and mash the yolks of four hard-cooked eggs. Mix with two tablespoonfuls of fine soft bread crumbs and a half a minced red pepper. Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter; stir in the eggs. Add slowly a cupful of cream and last a cupful of crab meat. When hot put in half a tablespoonful of salt, a dash of nutmeg, and a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Let it cook until smooth and serve in small dishes or on toast.

```
Stuffed Cabbage.—Cut out the stalk end of a solid head of cabbage, leaving a good sized cavity. Tie the cabbage in a cheese cloth and cook it in boiling salted water until tender. Make a stuffing of seasoned crumbs and any cold meat which is well seasoned. Fill the drained cabbage with the stuffing, sprinkle with crumbs and grated cheese, dot with bits of butter and bake in a quick oven until brown.
Cabbage With Cheese Sauce.—Remove the stalk and cook a small hard head of cabbage until tender, in boiling salted water. Drain and place on a platter stalk end down, cut in pie shaped pieces without separating them, pour over a rich white sauce in to which, while boiling hot, a half cupful or more of finely grated or chopped, rich cheese has been added.
Hot Slaw.—Beat the yolks of two eggs with two tablespoonfuls of cold water, add a tablespoonful of butter, a pinch of salt, and a quarter of a cupful of vinegar. Cook this dressing over hot water until thick, then stir in finely shredded cabbage and heat until hot; serve hot.
Fried Cabbage.—Chop cold, boiled cabbage and press out all possible moisture. Season with melted butter, pepper and salt and four tablespoonfuls of milk. Add two well beaten eggs and cook in a buttered frying pan until smoking hot, stirring constantly at first, then brown on the bottom and turn out on a platter; garnish with hard cooked eggs.
Creamed Cabbage.—Cook shredded cabbage until tender in boiling water, drain, add milk, butter and half a cupful of cracker crumbs. Serve hot.
Cabbage With Sausage.—Cook a head of cabbage whole with several pork sausages, or with half a dozen frankforts; arrange on a platter and garnish with the sausages. Season while cooking with salt and pepper and save any liquor to use with the cabbage and cold potatoes chopped for hash.
John Johnson, of Missouri, born a slave, now 112 years old, is getting ready to celebrate his birthday.
"TE-KE-OO—Te-ke-oo;" the notes ring out, polignant, pitiful; "Te-ke-oo." Once again it resounds in the hoary rifts of the "wailing wall," remnant of Hebrew glory, symbol of Hebrew fall. Piercing, clear, it heralds a mighty surge of grief. For from the gloom of a hundred souls a cry is wrung, uncanny in the smiling sunshine, writes Marian Weinstein to the Chicago Daily News. The Jews of Jerusalem have come to mourn, to pray. They have brought to their Father the sting of their newest affliction, the fresh page in their long tragedy—the slaughter of their brethren in free Galicia.
The bearded elders in their faded caftans bend and sway over their huge tomes. Their earlocks brush the yellowing leaves of prayer. Apart on the cobbled street sit shawled women, sear, fleshless, resting their pulvering forms against a native hut. Their younger sisters, old-young women, press the temple ruin. Now they fondle the stones and now they clutch them in despair, choking dry sobs. Beyond, a girl is weeping. She has lived through a Russian pogrom. There is a lull in the wall. For a moment the mass of motley headgear—skull caps, turbans, fezzes—ceases to sway. But only for a moment. And now the little Talmud Torah boys come from their schools, tiny replicas, with their side curls and long coats, of their elders. They file in under their rabbi's eye, a look of awe on their pale faces.
All United in Mourning.
Jerusalem has forgotten its squabbles. In this hour of prayer and mourning before their Maker all Jews are brothers. "A dole, a dole," a wretched bundle of rags whimpers through the crowd. Between two sputtering candles against the wall a khaki-clad soldier from the Jewish battalion pauses to read the call to this prayer that was posted for days in the streets of the Holy City, in Hebrew and in Yiddish.
"Terrible reports come to us, one after the other, from Galicia. Enemies of Israel shed Jewish blood like water. Hundreds of Jewish victims have been murdered amid all sorts of atrocities, Countless innocents, men, women and children, our people's most plious souls, have fallen. In Lemberg alone 108, butchered and burned, were buried in one grave. Scores of scrolls of the law have been destroyed, and such outrages were committed as in the day of the destruction of the temple. All our brethren in Galicia are in deadly terror.
"Our elders, therefore, have met and decided that the whole community—men, women and children—should assemble Tuesday at 8 o'clock, Arabic time, at the temple ruin to read the psalms and blow the shoopar that the Lord above may take pity upon our brethren."
"Ibrahim! Ibrahim!" A shrill cry strikes the air. From the roof of her stone hut a swarthy Arab woman calls her son, who has somehow been caught in the wailing, swaying multitude. "Ibrahim!"
At the Wailing Place.
The Jewish soldier rescues the reluctant Ibrahim just as a score of British Tommies appear in the wake of a Moslem guide.
"Here you have the Jews' wailing wall," he recites in a sing-song. "The upper stones were built in the time of the Romans, but the lower blocks belonged to Solomon's temple. Here the Jews come every Friday to wall."
The Jewish soldier has recognized a fellow Jew in an American Red Cross doctor, standing thoughtfully at the edge of the praying crowd.
"From what part of the States are you?" he whispers eagerly. "I'm from Philly. I thought you might be, too." Down the stony steps leading to the walling place new figures are ever hurrying, scurrying. The Talmud Torah children are leaving with their rabbi. The weeping girl leans against the Arab hut now, her eyes half closed, her lips trembling. The oldyoung women still cling to the wall as if the God whose ear they seek were in its very stories.
USE FOR MUSCADINE GRAPES
Pulp Left When Making Jelly or Grape Juice Furnishes Ideal Basis for Paste.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
All kinds of fruits make delicious pastes which are more wholesome than candy and which may be served in its place. One of the best-flavored varieties of fruit paste is made from the Muscadine grape. When these grapes are available the wise housekeeper uses some for that purpose. The pulp left when making jelly or grape juice, furnishes an ideal basis for the paste. Full directions on how to make it and different ways to utilize it may be had by writing the United States department of agriculture for Bulletin No. 1033.
CANNED FISH ADDS VARIETY
Plan for Housewife to Prepare and Serve Palatable Meal on Very Short Notice.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
With a supply of canned fish and meats the housewife can prepare and serve a palatable meal on short notice with saving of both fuel and time. They also make possible a more varied diet, lessening the dependence upon cured, salted, and smoked meat, the constant and exclusive use of which means a monotonous and less wholesome diet.
A. M. E. ZION CHURCH
ENJOYS WONDERFUL GROWTH
(By Associated Negro Press)
Richmond, Va., Dec. 31—The Virginia conference of the A. M. B. Zion church has closed. The Rev. L. T. C. Conquest of Detroit, Mich., preached the closing sermon. All the final reports were made during the day. The reports on education, temperance and missions were discussed at great length. Church extension in the Virginia conference also received much attention, as did several other subjects. Over $3,471.90 was reported for missions from three districts and partments, not including the total from all departments to be given later. The growth of the financial and numerical strength of the conference was declared to be almost phenomenal.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 31.—Protests against the plan to build a new Harriet Beecher Stowe school exclusively for Colored children at Seventh and Cutter streets were lodged with the board of education at its meeting by a large delegation of Colored citizens. They contended that the segregation of the races was in conflict with the state laws, and urged that white and Colored children be permitted to attend the schools generally.
Member James G. Fisk of the board spoke in favor of sustaining their position. The board took the matter under advisement.

FIRST CAST OUT THE BEAM
FROM THINE OWN EYE
The total number of murders with-
in Mexico for the period mentioned
might astound us if it were known.
On the other hand, murders for
gain in this country are not in-
cluded in the lynching statistics,
and we need no tabulated record to
inform us that such crimes are not
just now on the decrease.
‘The Chicago papers are enough.
Our country is doubtless safer than
Mexico, but we can hardly assume
the mood of righteous anger aid go
forth to reform our neighbors with-
out appearing a bit hypocritical.
There is blood on our own hands.
Our own legal machinery has its
glaring defects. Our own govern-
ment has failed to afford protection.
Nobody doubts the necessity of re-
form in Mexico, but if we are hon-
est, we shall begin with reform as
with charity—at home—New York

NEW WAR LOAN DIRECTOR
Governor John U. Calkins of th
federal reserve bank has just an
nounced the appointment of Theodor
Hardee of San Francisco as directo
of the war loan organization for th
twelfth federal reserve district, whic!
comprises the seven Pacific slop
states of Arizona, California, Tdahc
Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washing
ton, as well as Hawaii.
Hardee will direct the 1920 cam
paign for distribution of war saving
stamps and certificates, and any sim
ilar securities the government ma:
offer ‘throughout this extensive terri
tory.
The new director plans an activ.
campaign during the present yea
and counts upon the earnest co-oper
ation of all loyal and intelligent Amer
icans in this distriet to make it liv
up to the treasury’ department's ex
pectations.
Hundreds of the disabled men are
not taking advantage of the oppor
tunity to secure vocational training
offered by the government. The dis
trict vocational officers find every
man in their territory who has beer
disabled in the war end notify him
that he is eligible for some sort of
training. Ninety per cent reply tc
the first notice, but considerably less
than that per cent actually report fo1
training when they are notified tha
their cases have Leen approved.
In many instances it has been dis
covered that the men have change:
residences, leaving no forwarding ad
dress; in other cases men have bee:
found to possess a feeling that taking
the training is a compulsory honor
when instead it is a voluntary priv!
lege.

THE BLACK STAR LINE COMPANY
A Negro Oceanic Steamship Corpor.
ation To Be Officered and
Manned by Negroes
(Atlanta Constitution.)
| Black Star line is the name of the
|latest addition to the American mer-
jchant marine, an oceanic steamship
corporation haying recently been
ltormed, with head offices in New
York.
‘The corporation. is capitalized, for
fa beginning, at $500,000 in shares of
par value of $5, to be held exelu-
sively by Negroes.
A few days ago its first steamship
was launched and christened the
Frederick Douglass, in honor of the
‘American Negro who rose from: slav-
lery to a seat in the U. S. Senate, and
whose statesmanship and remarkable
gift of oratory did so much in behalf
of the cause of freedom for his race.
‘The Frederick Douglass is to be
commanded by a Negro, Joshua
‘Cockburn, it is to have Negro en-
isineers, Negro mates and Negro crew
land the same rule is to apply to other
ships that may be built by the Black
Star Line Company, which corpora-
tion likewise is officered and manned
"rom top to bottom by members of
the colored race.
Immediately after her trial trip the
Frederick Douglass is to be put in
"he oceanic trade between New York,
ond West Indies, Central America and
probably Canada.
A New York newspaper, comment-
ing upon this invasion of the field of
maritime commerce by Negroes, sug-
rests that the name given the first
craft of the Black Star line “is a
compliment and a recognition to
Douglass wider than generally known
jor shown.” The world at large re-
members the great mulatto orator,
‘ays the commentator “for his work
‘in the freedom of his people, but how
many are there,” it asks, “who know
hat before he escaped to the north
he worked as a shipbuilder and as a
sailor before the mast?”
But Douglas was not the first nor
vy any means the last Negro to do
vreditable service in the realm cf
hips and seafaring; for, while the
American Negro is, as a rule, most
xt home on dry land, the black race
‘tas almost from its advent upon the
western hemisphere been identified
© a greater or a lesser extent with
shipping and oceanic commerce—and
vreditably so.
Ocean trade, in fact, seems to of-
"er as favorable field for Negro as
‘or Asiatic or Caucasian, initiative,
‘ngenuity, industry and capital: and
here is no apparent reason why the
soloed people, who have denionstrat-
od their ability to run banks, insur-
mee companies and commercial, —in-
Tustrial and educational enterprises
Mf various kinds, should not make a
uecess in the. maritime transporta-
ion industry.
At any rate the career of the new
Black Star ine will be watehed with
particular interest by all citizens who
desire to see the colored race make
the best of its opportunities.

Never before has a financial proposition been submitted to the Negroes of Chicago that has so many
of our leading business and professional men directly responsible for its future, and the reputation of
these men, in addition to the fact that the organization is at the present time under State Supervision,
should be sufficient evidence to eliminate all doubts in the minds ef our people as to the safety of the
investment. The laws governing the insurance companies are so much more rigid than any other branch
in the financial wor'd that a failure of a life insurance company organized under the Old Line or Legal
Reserve Plan of the various etates is almost unheard of.
