Richmond Planet

PALATI Hon. Ralph W. Tyler's Glowing Tribute. EX-AUDITOR OF THE NAVY STATES HIS OPINION OF EDITOR JOHN MITCHELL, JR.—A VIVID PEN PICTURE BY A NOTED JOURNALIST AND STATESMAN. MEN I HAVE MET (By Ralph W. Tyler.) Among the few veteran colored editors who remain to thunder against all forms of race discrimination, John Mitchell Jr., of Richmond, Va., is one of the ablest. Still a bachelor, though more than 50 years have had their requiem sung since his birth was modestly announced, he has nothing to do but run The Richmond PLANET, and manages that model of colored banking institutions the Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond. John Mitchell is really an able man, right up to the minute on any and all questions. Quiet and unobtrusive, but doggedly persistent, its delight to read his editorials. NEGROES URGED UPWARD BY BOOKER WASHINGTON. Educator Tells Colored Baptists Constructive Work Will Encourage. Philadelphia, Sept. 12.—Outlining a definite constructive program for the uplift of his race, Booker T. Washington, foremost Negro educator of the world, poured forth a message of promise for a higher and better life to 15,000 colored people assembled last evening at the National Baptist Convention in progress at Convention Hall, Broad street and Allegheny avenue. The man who has put himself at the head of his race by the educa- No writer of the race, few of any race are his equal" in analyzing his editorials even if against you, are always scrupulously devoid of anything approaching vindictiveness or brutal assault. John Mitchell possesses a keen analytical mind. He can cut through one's argument as cleanly as a razor-cuts through a two days' growth of hair. He plays no favorites—he sticks to a policy the PLANET adopted when he assumed control of the PLANET, and never yet varied a hair's breath from it. Opposed to many of the policies of Dr. Washington, he is always respectful in his attitude, and in his language employed whenever he finds it expedient to dissent. Somewhat favorable to the policies of the anti-Washingtonites, in that he has always stood for rights vouchsafed by the Constitution—not to-morrow, but today, he does not confine his paper week in and week out, to a defence or extolling of this faction. He runs a newspaper fair and honorable, considerate and uncompromising. As a presiding officer, who is his equal? I have seen him in action as a presiding officer when a dozen sable sons of Ham would have the floor yelling, "Mr. Chairman." I have seen him in action when a half dozen substitutes and amendments to amendments had been offered and yet, with the coolness of a December wind; the calmness of one alone in his study pouring over "The Last Days of Pompeii," he brought order out of chaos—just as one whirl of the legendary fairy's wand stilled the muttering thunders. The Richmond PLANET, that excellently conducted race newspaper, the genius of Mr. Mitchell made a potent factor in race development is one of the best edited of race journals. Although the Mechanics' Savings Bank is an institution without an equal among race financial institutions and stands as a monument to both, the race and Mr. Mitchell, whose never-tiring brain conceived it, still his first love, his constant thought, by day or night, is THE PLANET. I admire John Mitchell for what he has done, is doing, and will do. Hospitable, kind and considerate, he has soo in big-heart for all. All, did I say? Well, hardly for under no circumstances can a woman, be she as beautiful as the houries as wise as the serpent or as enticing as the demisexions of Venice, claim one single moment of John Mitchell's attention. He's a bachelor by choice and instinct. For this I pity him. Because of this he has missed so much of the sunshine of life. In the first editorial phalanx, at the head of the column—that's John Mitchell's place. New York News. Third St. Bethel A. M. E. Church. Sunday, Education Day, will be observed.

NEGROES URGED UPWARD BY BOOKER WASHINGTON. Educator Tells Colored Baptists Constructive Work Will Encourage. Philadelphia, Sept. 12.—Outlining a definite constructive program for the uplift of his race, Booker T. Washington, foremost Negro educator of the world, poured forth a message of promise for a higher and better life to 15,000 colored people assembled last evening at the National Baptist Convention in progress at Convention Hall, Broad street and Allegheny avenue. The man who has put himself at the head of his race by the educational work he has carried on at Tuskegee Institute told his large audience that the time had come for the colored people of America to adopt a new policy. He told them to abandon the defensive and begin a constructive work which would do more toward removing race prejudice than all the defending, explaining and back-talk can accomplish. Mr. Washington pointed out that the first requisite in the new policy is for the colored man to be proud of his race and color. There were many, white persons in the audience, and the speaker told them, amid the cheers of his hearers, that he would not change race or color with the whitest one in the audience. "There is no group of our people anywhere in the world that have been watched and studied to such an extent as the 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States." declared Mr. Washington, "and the raco prejudice from which we suffer cannot be talked down. The only way for the colored man to get rid of it is to begin to make so much progress in every walk of life that the white people will be kept so busy talking about the wonderful progress that they will have no time to talk ill of the Negroes." The speaker urged upon the delegates assembled here from virtually every State in the Union to go back to their people and tell them to make friends with the white man and begin work of construction. "A Baptist church," he said, "may criticize the weakness of a Methodist church, but that does not hold the Baptist back or push the Methodist forward. Our, danning the white man does not hurt him; his damning us cannot hold us back. Everywhere we want to begin the constructive program and keep everybody talking about us. We must get off the defensive in relation to material growth. Let us make the house we live in so attractive that there will be none of the earmarks of colored property about it. Put the gate back on its hinges, take the pillows which have been stuffed in the broken windows out and put in new glass. Get to work and make the part of the city you live in so attractive that the people will want to move into that section. MUST EMPHASIZE THE GOOD. "In the future we should say less about the Negro who does not own his own land, and more about the Negro who does. We must get off the defensive in reference to employment and advertise less the man who has no work and talk more about the man who has a good job. In education we must also get off the defensive by getting intelligence so fast that we will keep the world wondering how it is possible for the Negro to get and use education to such good advantage. We should get off the defensive in our relations with the white man. Despite the wrongs inflicted upon our race in this country, the American white man is more disposed to give the Negro a fair chance than any white man in the world. In the future we must advertise our white enemies less, if we have any, and our white friends more." A plan for the universal brotherhood of man was made at the afternoon session by Dr. T. C. Walker, of Augusta, Ga., who is known as the Black Spurgeon of America. Dr. Walker drew cheer after cheer from the large audience of colored people, who look upon him as the greatest preacher of their race. His address sparked with characteristic Negro humor, but he became serious when he drove home to his hearers the principle that the Almighty knows but one race, and that is the human race. ```markdown ``` H. L. JACKSON, of Blackstone, Va., Grand Vice-Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Va., K. of P, Died at his home Thursday, Sept. 17th, 1914. practical and applied Christianity. We know that there is in America a need for this kind of religion not only by the colored man, but by his white brother as well. The great trouble comes when a man attempts to live a practical Christian life. It is exactly like a man riding a bicycle—he must either be all on or all off. NOT MENTALLY INFERIOR. The great colored preacher who has often found such men as President's Taft and Roosevelt and John D. Rockefeller coming, to worship in his Augusta church decried the idea that the black man is mentally inferior to his white brother. "Color has nothing to do with intelligence," he said. "Ignorance will stay with any person who will give it a lodging." Dr. Walker was not one of the scheduled speakers of the session, but was asked to voice the response for the convention to three prominent officials of the African Methodist Episcopal Church who brought greetings from that body to the convention. Bishop J. A. Heard, in charge of the A. M. E. Church in Africa; Dr. A. M. Mixon, of Selma, Ala. and Dr. I. N. Ross, of Baltimore, as the representatives of the colored Methodists, were unanimous in raising their voices in protest against segre- H. L.

Jordan, of Philadelphia, showed that the collections for the year amounted to $21,321.32, and of this $3,016.39 came from the churches of Pennsylvania. In making his report Dr. Jordan told of a bequest that had been made to the board of 15 cents by an old colored woman in Texas. This money was put at interest and now amounts to more than $100. Today, following the morning session of the convention, the delegates will assemble on City Hall plaza and march in a body to the Wanamaker store. Before the tour of the store begins motion pictures will be taken of the delegates. The convention will tinue in session until Monday Drakes Branch (Va.) News. Rev. Trout, of Richmond, Va. preached a trial sermon Sunday for the people of St. Michael Church. St. Michael. Church is without a pastor, but the people have not yet docked whom they will call.

The parties were very much shaken up but no one seriously hurt. Missen Seal Jackson and Hattie Arrington are very sick.

Warning to the Public. First—Prohibition workers are warned to watch for bribery. The saloon will have paid workers at the precinct where they can be obtained and will buy every vote which can be bought. Second—Beware of attacks and misrepresentations published during the last week of the campaign, too late for an answer to reach the voters of the State. The late publication of such attacks should be sufficient proof to every fair-minded man that they can be satisfactorily answered. Headquarters Committee. Anti-Saloon League of Virginia.

Those interested in the success of the football team of Va. Union University will be delighted to hear of the success of the coach committee in getting Dr. A. M. Fisher to return as football coach for Union's team. To Doctor Fisher's efficiency, as coach is due a large part of Union's successes last year. Dr. Fisher is a graduate of Lincoln and the University of Pennsylvania. He played end on both of these teams, but his fame as a football star reached its zenith while on the eleven of the Univ. of Pennsylvania. The public will remember that Union only lost two games last year and those two were dropped to the best colored eleven in the country, Hampton and Howard. With the same line-up this year plus Dr. Fisher as coach, there is no doubt that Union's eleven will be a hot contestant for the championship. Capt. Howell, fullback on the All Star team 1913, as chosen by Director Henderson of Washington, states that he has communications from all his men promising to be back for hard work on the first day. Union has a rigid schedule as outlined by Manager Grant. Her first game is with Lawrenceville on October 16th. Then follow games with Lynchburg, Petersburg, Shaw. Howard ending up the season with a game on her grounds Thanksgiving Day with Lincoln. The Athletic Association has had Hovey. Park enclosed with a fence this summer and is expecting the public a star football team and good games in return for which they ask a full turning-out to all the contests. On to Orange, N. J.

Negroes may establish a residence in Fifth street, between Leigh and Duval streets," with perfect assurance that they will not suffer through the operation of the segregation law, according to a decision rendered today by Justice Crutchfield, acting on an opinion furnished by City Attorney Pollard. The defendant in the case which brought about the decision was G. W. Lewis, a Negro lawyer, who pur-chaed and occupied the house at 613 North Fifth street. Policeman Schleif had him hailed to court-to-day on the charge of violating the segregation ordinance, which is designed to prevent the residence of Negroes in a block where whites predominate. Lewis was specially acquitted. City Attorney Pollard, in reference to Lewis' case, addressed Justice Crutchfield in writing as follows: "Replying to your request to inform you in what manner the question whether the blocks on North Fifth street, between Leigh and Duval streets, are white or colored, should be determined. I have to say that inasmuch as Jackson street does not intersect, that is, cross Fifth street, that the residences on both sides of Fifth street, from Leigh to Duval streets, must be counted as if Jackson street did not abut on the west side of Fifth street." The majority of the residents in the block where Lewis lives are Negroes according to the testimony offered before Justice Crutchfield. Much interest already has been aroused by real estate operations carried on by Negroes in this neighborhood. A controversy is now awaiting adjudication by the courts as to whether the sale of a church building at Fifth and Leigh streets to Negroes can be consummated GRAND VICE-CHANELLOR JACK SON DIESE AT BLACKSTONE, VA Henry L.

In His Capacity of Editor, Mayor, Postmaster, Eto, Routes the Squeamish Element Who Want the Town to Bear a Less Gunpowder Name. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1914, by Associated Literary Press.] WEDNESDAY afternoon last as we sat in our sanctum a stranger entered with a gun in his hand, and when we had welcomed him he began: "Is y-your n-name"— We saw he had an impediment of speech and helped him out by replying that we were Mr. Jim Helleo, owner and editor of the Kicker, mayor of the town, postmaster, deputy United States marshal, state senator, champion wingshot of Arizona and so forth. "I-I have have co-me t-t-tote," continued the man, but he cut it off there and sat down to rest. We gave him ten minutes by the clock and then motioned for him to go en, and he stood up and said: "I-I have co-me 200 m-m-miles to a-a-e"— He took another rest, and then said the same thing over again. It was our busy day. We therefore begged him to excuse us and went our way and saw him no more. Later in the day, he left town, but before going he got the kinks out of his tongue and explained to several citizens that his name was Barney and that he had come 200 miles on horseback to shoot us. If we stuttered as bad as Mr. Barney does we would a-shoot our m-a-man first and make our explanations l-later on. We learn that Major Jackson of Grass Valley has been arrested for assault with intent to kill. We can't A FULL, HIS NOSE IN BOTTOM. believe it. We saw nine different men pull his nose in botton one afternoon and he did not even protest. If he has tried to kill anything it was a rabbit. For some time past a clique of citizens, headed by Joe Taylor, have been agitating the idea of changing the name of this town from Gliveadam Gulch to Rose Hill. The clique went so far as to call a public meeting for Wednesday evening, which was largely attendigl. Taylor and others made strong speeches in favor of a change, claiming that the name of the town kept people away and that to continue to call it Gliveadam Gulch was against policy, prosperity and civilization. The editor of the Kicker (who is itself, and the mayor (who is itself, were called upon to speak in opposition. We gave a history of the town from the day old Bill Williams didn't give a heep for the Indians surrounding him in this gulch, and thus gave the name to a place which has grown and prospered beyond any town in the far west. There was something honest and aboveboard—something which smacked of a rough but good hearted community in the name of Gliveadam Gulch. When a vote was taken the Taylor crowd was laid on the shelf by a large majority. We are still Giveadam Gutch, and Giveadam Gutch we shall remain, and odds is the difference who gives a hang and who doesn't. Our esteemed contemporary says in his last issue that he will shoot us on sight. He will have to do it, with a club, then, as he can't tell one end of a gun from the other. It may have been us who killed Colonel Jackson's old mule on the street Wednesday evening. As we were coming home at midnight something or somebody kicked us from out of the darkness, and we let go with six hippies. The colonel should keep his mule pinned up. The little restaurant put on table represents the other day, for an expert man and darter in singing which makes him utter the proverb, to hear a ballet in the ambulance. He will be well enough alone after this. A DIPLOMATIC LOVER SHE vowed she'd never eat again. Till woman got her rights from me. And I, who loved her deeply, feared My joy in life had disappeared. Till happy all my soul was fired With inspiration most inspired. I got a tray one summer's day And on it placed soft clams poulet, A lobster broiled and mussins sweet, A sillet mignon—tree petitie— New peas and grapefruit mayonnaise, A canembert so rich and rare It perfumed all the summer air A choice of French patisserie As daity as suchakes can be.

The duty assigned her was to juggle sweets in the candy booth. Eventually 'two young men rambled in that direction.

"Can you keep a secret?" is a very common question, usually put by a person who doesn't want to. Now you will reflect that a man going about his own business with several other people's secrets in his brain pockets is pretty certain to pull one of them out inadvertently. For, of course, other people's secrets are of no great importance. So when the question comes, "Can you keep a secret?" the answer should be: "No. Can you?"—London Chronicle.

We are under many obligations to the Navy, statesman and race-leader, von Ralph W. Tyles, ex-Auditor of for his admirable pen-picture of us, which he produced in a recent issue of the New York News. To possess the qualities and to exertise the ability he serves to us are in their- selves evidences of success of which any man in this country might well be proud. We doff our hat to the distinguished citizen and again voice our acknowledgement of the tribute which he has paid to us. Our effort shall be to deserve it all. --- --- The annual address of Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., President of the National Baptist Convention at Philadelphia, last week seems to have swept that great body "off its feet," so to speak for he was practically unanimously re-elected. Those opposed to him were so hopelessly in the minority that they did not make their presence known. This is as it should have been. He showed "a clean bill" and his administration had been above reproach. As to what was done to straighten out the tangle with the National Baptist Publishing Board, we have not been advised. Certain that great body had a task before it, when as an unincorporated body, it attempted to control an incorporated one. It will be well for the gentlemen who are endeavoring to control and discipline one. Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., the Manager and his friends, to go slow about the matter. He is able to give all kinds of trouble and those endeavoring to oust him will ultimately have their trouble for their pain. If they want what Dr. Boyd has, it would be well to buy him out. The amount demanded may be large, but it will be cheaper in the long run. It would be well, too, to obligate Manager Boyd and his son not to go into the publishing business for a period, say twenty years. By that time, both of them will be so old that they will be unable to hurt anybody, having been out of practice for that length of time. Our advice, as a publisher, though is to keep Boyd and his son and pay them both a living salary, making them work for the success of the publishing house. UNBEARABLE CONDITIONS. Is it possible that the well-meaning white people of this community who profess to be interested in the progress and success of our people have no influence to stop this constant agitation now going on against one of the kindiest races of people on the face of the globe? It seems to us to be a case of "adding insult to injury." Our people have been bereft of practically all of their political rights and as a result, they have become a veritable political tincan to the tail of all of the political parties. Those humble colored people with every sign of this characteristic humility are disposed to suffer in silence and not even to vote a protest. With every branch of the government in the hands of the white people of the Commonwealth, this persecution still goes on. With colored people in practically every white family that can afford the luxury, silencing as the nursesies and in the hatties of white people's houses, the cry of segregation is heard in the land. The colored person as a servant one can have free access to any residence or business place in Virginia. As an independent citizen, he is treated as a leper. Is there no way for our Southern white friends to put an end to all of this? The Liquor question is now being agitated and the issue will soon be decided. In order to prejudice some few of the white voters, the cry is being made that Negro men are being placed in a position where they can assist the saloon interests. This is being done too in the face of the fact that the only organized political body that we know to exist in Richmond among colored people for this fight is led by prominent colored ministers, who have been for months conducting one of the most enorgotic political contests in behalf of the dry interests ever launched in this State. Embraced in the membership are some of the most responsible and influential of our colored citizens. Will this species of misrepresentation never cease? Not satisfied with this, these same Negro-hating interests have hold up the sale of the Immanuel Baptist Church as an evidence of the colored people's desire to encrouch upon the rights and privileges of their white neighbors. As a matter of fact, this church is located on Fifth and Leigh streets and within a stone's throw may be found a colored population too dense to enumerate. White people have removed to the West End, Glinder Park and other suburban villages and the colored people have either purchased or leased their forsaken residences. This has been taken as the basis for another howl against the poor colored folks. There are residences here owned by both white and colored people' which places are on the line of racial demarcation and they are vacant because of these surprising conditions entailing a loss upon their owners from the fact that desirable tenants are barred therefrom. The most fugant case that has come to our attention is that of George W. Lewis, Esq., a highly respected Chancery attorney, who purchased a house and lot at 613 N. Fifth street and moved therein. In his immediate vicinity are other colored tenants and owners. Race prejudice was in evidence and he was arrested charged with violating the segregation law. He was discharged by Police Justice John J. Crutchfield after this humiliation. As a matter of fact, Mr. D. C. O'Flaherty, a white attorney, who was similarly arrested for not placing his car ticket in one of the "paw as you enter" car boxes was recorded damages to the amount of five hundred dollars by Judge Crump of the Law and Equity Court of this city and the street car company will be required to pay the money. George W. Lewis, Eaq, was given "a clean bill," so to speak, but he has not heard a word about his five hundred dollars and he will not live long enough to hear about it. It seems that we have not enough cohesive power or money to protect ourselves and we are asking as a matter of charity, if we cannot find enough fair play in the Southern white man in these parts to protect us. Even so staid and reputable a newspaper as the Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch joined in the clamor for separate waiting rooms at the Main Street Station and the Richmond Va. City Council passed a racial resolution demanding the same thing. All of this tends to raise racial antagonism on the part of the white people against the colored people and racial antagonism on the part of the colored people against Personally, all of our manhood and race pride seem to have "peted out." Each fellow only wins when he himself is struck and acceeds to be well content to "let well enough alone" when the injury is to the other fellow. To our mind, this condition has approached a crisis and some positive action should be taken. Committees have gone to some of our governmental heads and the result has not been gratifying, due primarily to the fact that we must rely on sympathy and we have not the political power to enforce our own demands. For this reason, we are making a direct plea to the good white folks, with a hope that it will awaken the feeling of either pride or shame in the good colored ones. We should continue to send delegations to the "powers that be" and protest against these unjust conditions. It may be that God, who is all powerful will assist us in softening up these stony hearts and accord us fair-play or return to us the ballot with which we shall be in a position to enforce our demands. We are asking only simple justice. When a citizen cannot control his own property, when he pays taxes and is denied the protection of the government, then the line between freedom and slavery is only imaginary for serfdom and tyranny are the twin evils from which we suffer. It is time for a change. It should take place right now. What do you say, good white folks? What shall we do about it now, good colored ones? Knicker-How long did the latest cook stay?

A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR Benignor William's 2,000,000 invade are in France are in full light before the victorious French and British. The German right wing army (that of the west) is incapable of effective resistance because of exhaustion by forced marches and shortage of ammunition. This force was routed in a great battle on the River Oureq, in which the French captured two German regimental standards after furious hand-to-hand fighting. On the center the Germans are in retreat before the French, who have driven back three combined German armies in four days of battle. Russian troops have significantly defeated the Austrians at Rawa, thirty-two miles northwest of Lemberg. Rusia is now concentrating 3,500,000 troops for the invasion of German Poland, which is to be annexed to Russia. THURSDAY. Appalling losses have been inflicted on the kaiser's right wing army in its panic, flight, following the disastrous failure of the German campaign to capture Paris. Dead and wounded and cannon were abandoned by the Germans pursuing before the withering fire of the pursuing British forces. Many prisoners and a large number of guns were captured. Heavily reinforced, the German center army made a determined stand against the French, endowing to regain the twenty-five miles of ground lost in the first four days of the great general battle of 4,000,000 men on a front of 120 miles. Germany's entire campaign scheme is threatened with disruption by the rapid advance of the Russians, who have arrived at Breslau, Germany. The fall of Breslau, a fortified city of 45,000 inhabitants, 180 miles from Berlin, is imminent. Craway, a fortified city on the Galician border, was evacuated by the Austrians. FRIDAY It is officially announced in Paris that the German center, as well as their right wing, is retreating. Emperor William's supreme assault with three great armies to pierce the French center has failed, and the troops commanded by Crown Prince Frederick William, General Von Kluk and Duke Albrecht of Würtemberg are in retreat before the victorious French and British. The Germans are falling back along the greater part of the 120-mile battle line. Their right wing army is in rout, with every evidence of demoralization. The Servians captured Semlin, a large city, in Austria, after a bloody battle in which both sides lost heavily. SATURDAY. Complete retreat along the entire German line is France and Belgium, amounting at some points almost to a rout, is claimed by the French. The British are reported to have crossed the river Ouren, hear Solosins, in pursuit of the retreating German legions. It is further stated that the British forces have cut off 6000 troops and taken them prisoners. The one armed veteran of the Franco-Prussian war, General Pau, is said to have captured a German ammunition train. The Belgian army, which was shut up in Antwerp by the Germans several weeks ago, is reported to have resumed the offensive. Malines and Aarosch, Belgian towns, have been retaken, the railway between Brussels and Liege was cut, and a vigorous attack made upon the kaiser's troops near Benzlers. Petrograd officially admits a revenge in eastern Prussia. Two battles have been fought at Landsberg and Lyck. The Russians admit heavy losses and state that their army has been forced back into the lake regions near Grazew, on their own frontier. SUNDAY. German military headquarters admit defeat of their right wing army in France, and omit to mention the operations on the center of the line, where the crown prince was driven back, after giving battle to the French. The kaiser's troops have been forced to evacuate Amersburg in their general retreat and liberate forces are now in rapid fig that the eastern end of the battle line, where the Germans had hoped to retrieve their defenses by capturing the fortress of Vollung. The Germans in east Prussia have been defeated by the Russians with heavy losses near Moltchens, but are still bringing unreinforcements. Russia continues to be victorious in Galicia. It is officially announced at Petrograd the Russian prisoners were MADAM! FOR YOU. $40.00 to $50.00 a Month. Why not become a Hair Dresser? This is your chance. We will not put up in the business.

MONDAY Emperor William's eight armies in France fled in disorder again before the victorious French and British troops. The German center, which the alasor had ordered to pierce the French front, is now far north of Vitty-La Francois, where the supreme attack was made and the German lines in general have been driven back more than halfway to Belgium.

The Gorman army in France has succeeded in reforming at least a large part of its shattered units and is making a desperate stand north of the Alano river. The allies are pugnacing the invaders hard, but no decisive result has been announced. Although the strength of the respective forces engaged is kept secret, it is believed that there is little difference numerically between the regions of the kaiser and the allies' combined forces, but there is this differ ence: The allies are in close touch with their base and are abundantly supplied with food and munitions. Fighting continues all along the line. A report that General Von Kluk has surrendered with a command estimated at from 14,000 to 25,000 is not contended. It may be that a conduit able army of his troops have been taken, but a general surrender would involve the disposition of 100,000 men at least. The corp. assistant of the Landing Central News at Elype, under date of Monday, Sept. 14, transmits a report that the German army under General Von Kluk has been forced to surrender. The corp. assistant says. "A report has regained DIEPPE that the extreme lot of the allies, and making an encrelling movement in way of Roye and Ham and Johns, force from the Boulogna district, has compelled General Von Kluk to surrender with, according to one statement, 14,000 men, and according to another statement, 25,000 men, and a quantity of guns and war material." General Von Kluk has been operating in the Genman right wing and has consequently been opposed to the left wing of the allies. His army has been retiring before the allies for several days. Rheims has seen occupied by the French. This is one of the most important strategic points in France. Some military authorities are quoted as saying its occupation is equal to the destruction of the right wing of the kaiser's army. A dispatch received from Basel Switzerland, by way of Rome, says the German armies are reported to have received orders to evacuate France and Belgium and retire to the right bank of the Rhine. This is no confirmed. An official report says: "The-German crown prince's army has been driven back and is now on a line through Varlennes-en-Arg, Conseuvoye and Orues." As has been the case since the be ginning of the battle of the Marne more than a week ago, the final out come of this mighty struggle seems to depend upon the army of the crown prince, Frederick William, in the Ger man center, the headquarters of which has been retired to Montfaucon. As this town is fifteen miles north west of Verdun the crown prince's move seems to imply the approaching relief of that French fortress, which his army has been besieging for the past week. However, no news of the actual sit uation there has yet come through, nor is official confirmation of the reporter fall of the fortified position of Mau beuge forthcoming from the French sources. The present operations of the crowns prince, so far as they are known lends color to the report that the German armies, if forced to quit France will retire through the duchy of Luxemburg and the Belgian province o Luxemburg. He seems to be gathering his force, for a final stand in the vicinity o Montfaucon and Verdun. His forces for battle would be between the Alsace and the Meuse, which is the line o communication that opens the way to Luxemburg. Heavy rains are interfering with the campaign in France. The French war office admits in an official bulletin that the German treat has been checked, and that his rearward resistance is strong. The held line of battle seems to be north of the Alpine river, on a line through the forests of La Alge and Cranmore midway between Laen and Rhein and at the center of Rhein and Chalons: Berlin, Sept. 16.—The German general staff give out the following official announcement: In the western theater of war the right wing of our army has been on guard, in heavy but undesirable battles. The French who undertook to breach through our line, were victoriously defeated. At other points where there has German artillerymen at Practice For years the German army, the warlord of Europe, has been getting the German army up to a brilliant point of efficiency. The troops have been particularly skilled and disciplined. Here are shown artillerymen at target position. We are going to keep more. These men will now have a chance to exercise their artillery skills. 6 been fighting no decisive results have been reached." The Germans presumably are pushing reinforcements forward, and the announcement that their armies with a united front have resumed the of fensive may perhaps be expected in two or three days. Much probably depends on the rapidity with which the army under the crown prince completes the isolation of Verdun and shakes itself loose from this obstacle in order to be in a position to resume major operations. The general staff, in response to a query, characterized the general situation as "favorable," but refrained from any comment whatever over the course of events since the first days of the British French attacks and the withdrawal of the German right wing on Sept. 6. VICTORY OVER CZAR CLAIMED BY BERLIN Wireless Tells of Defeat of 201,000 Russians. It was officially announced in Berlin that General Von Hindenberg had telegraphed Emperor William that the Russian army of Vilna, composed of the Second, Third, Fourth and Twentieth army corps, two reserve divisions and five divisions of cavalry, 20,100 men in all, have been completely defeated by the Germans. The Russian casualties in the battle were heavy. The number of Russian prisoners increasing, General Von Hindenberg goes on, and the destruction of the Russian army continues. There have been spells of war in enormous quantities. The Russian army of Göring has been defeated at Lyck. It remained in addition to the Twentieth corps (40,000 men) the remnant of the Sixth corps and a part of the Third Siberian corps (probably about 75,000 men). The German headquarters are ded that the heavy fighting in Plo Repulse 90,000. Austrians and Italian Lose of 10,000 Men. An attempt of the Austrian army of 90,000 men to invade Servia near the junction of the Drina and Sove River has resulted in disaster for the Austrians, who lost 10,000 men. The Servian victory, the latest of a long series of Servian triumphs, was fought on Sept. 8 and 9 and the result was officially announced by the government. Germans Leaving Brussels. Orders have been given for the Germans to evacuate Brussels and go to the support of the German army which is retreating from rance. According to reports which have been received in Antwerp, the withdrawal has already begun. A German aeroplane that tried to fly over Antwerp was brought down by a voley. One officer in the machine was killed and another injured. AUSTRIANSATBAY ESCAPE BLOCKED The Russian Forces Surround Fleeing Enemy. GLAIM VICTORY IN PRUSSIA March on Berlin is Proceeding Rapidly. According to Statement of War Ministry. A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company in London, Eng., from Petrograd says that after the capture of Opole and Tourobine, the Russian forces have hommed the enemy into the angle formed by the junction of the River Vistula and the River San. The message continues: "It is impossible for the Austrians to escape." The general staff has issued an announcement as follows: "Russian troops are progressing along the lower stretches of the San river without meeting resistance from the enemy. "After having occupied Grodok (16 miles west of Lemberg) and reached Moskisca (37 miles south by west of Lemberg), the Russians find themselves within a single day's march of Przemysl. "There was no fighting on Monday in eastern Prussia. "Emperor Nicholas has conferred the decoration of the Order of St George on Ideonten General Radko Dimitroff, the Bulgarian, for his eminent service in the field." The destruction of the Anastriani supplies was one of the most heroic exploits yet undertaken by the Russian troops. A company of Cossacks swam the Vistula under the cover of darkness and blew up or set fire to two steamboats, seventeen pontoons and eighteen barges, as well as a large number of smaller boats and rafts. The greater part of the supplies had not been unloaded, but the Cossacks completed their task by burning all the military equipment they could find ashore. General Ruszky has reported to the war office that among the troops retiring from Przemysl are about 55,000 Germans, who were sent to help the Austrians. He declared that they will be unable to take active part in the fighting after entering Przemysl, as he will completely invest that stronghold and prevent any sortle. It was officially announced that General Ronnenkampf had defeated the Germans in a ten-hour battle in east Prussia and driven them back toward Konigberg with heavy losses. The battle took place near Goldau, eight miles southeast of Konigberg, and was fiercely contested. The official statement follows. 8 SCOTT'S CONFERENCE IN ACTION Copyright, 1914, by American Press Association STREET BARRICADES IN D STREET BARRICADES IN DIEST, BELGIUM Copyright, 1914, by American Press Association.

THE WHEEL New and Terrible Instrument of War It is held that France is the best equipped nation in the world for a battle in the air. Here is shown a French navplane bomb or serial torpedo. It can be carried over a city or a battlefield foot, and if dropped with may degrees of accuracy—and the French have been safely accurate in their minute warfare—man can work invaluable damage. "After a steady withdrawal for several days before superior forces of the Germans, the Russians received heavy reinforcements and drove the enemy back. Reforming, they again took the offensive and attacked our position at Goldap. They stormed our positions with bayonet charges in the face of a withering fire, but repeatedly were repulsed. "Finally, after a bloody conflict that lasted ten hours, the enemy retreated Our troops are in hot pursuit." As a result of rumors that the Russian campaign called for the capture of Bupaplest and Vienna, as well as Berlin, the following statement was made by Minister of War Sukhomil noff: "Our objective is Berlin. We have no intention of taking either Vienna or Budapest. It was out plan to remove the Austrians as a source of danger. That has been accomplished and the southern army will merely be used to hold the Austro-Hungarlat forces in check." St. Louis and San Francisco train No. 5, west bound, known as the "Texas Limited," plunged into a cloudburst near Lebanon, 152 miles southeast of St. Louis, and before the engineer could stop the train the track gave way and the locomotive and four cars rolled into a coodie gully. Thirty-five to forty-five persons in two passenger coaches were drowned and probably a score injured. The four sleeping cars remained on the track, and the passengers in those coaches rushed forward to rescue the persons imprisoned in the cars submerged in twelve feet of water. The engineman, describing his ex experiences, said that the train was running slowly when the cloudburst ocured. A wall of water swept across the track and appeared to be rushing toward the train. He closed the throttle in an effort to stop the train, but in a moment the locomotive and four cars were swept from the rails. German Cruiser Hole Bunk An official report from Berlin states that a British submarine on Sunday sank the German cruiser Heia. A majority of the crew was rescued, according to the Berlin report.

President Wilson has sent a personal letter to Secretary of State Bryan, asking that the attaching of the Turkish ambassador, Rustem Bay, be called to the president's reelection statement to the people of the United States on the subject of neutrality. Published reports that the recall of the ambassador was to be asked because of certain of his recent statements were denied at the White House and the state department. The president asked the secretary of state to learn if recent statements in the newspapers were authorized by the ambassador. Mr. Bryan saw the ambassador and later talked with the president. Prince Joachini, who recently was wounded while serving on the firing line, has been removed from the hospital at Allenstein to Berlin and is lodged in the Belovie Palace in Berlin.

D. Stotts "The Real Algeria" is a story told the author by a merger of chancery at Batna. It relates to a certain column with a passion for fetes, who was organizing a fete at Constant the in honor of a "fair charmer." He ordered from L'Artiste twenty statues to adorn the park at a louis apiece, to be completed in a week. L'Artiste had 10 louis in advance. The sixth day came, but no statues appeared, and there was a stormy interview between the colonel and L'Artiste, who A had been "daily and gloriously drunk." "Be tranquil, mon colonel," said L'Artiste as he pocketed the second 10 louis. "They will be there." And they were there—amazing exhibitions of the sculptor's skill, ranged around the park the following evening. "Oh, bow beautiful, how marvelous!" cried the colonel's charming guest as she glanced from one gem of snow white marble to the next. "What men! How adorable! If men were really like that I believe I should run away with every one of them. If only they were alive!" In her excitement she grabbed the nearest one excitedly by the arm. "OIL, HOW BEAUTIFUL."

Fair Odds Judge Musgrove set up a lesurally law office in the town square in Tellico. It looked dignified to have his name as counselor at law painted on the door. Besides, it provided a haven whether he and his listeners could repair when the rain drove them from the sidewalk in front of the Snadecor House, and as a forum for the continuation of the judge's oral memoirs of the war. To allow a reasonable time for dinner, the judge thought it well to advertise the fact that he would not be in from 10 o'clock to 1.

The Wicked Hadn't Come Lady Cardigan is very, well known as a teller of good stories. One of them relates to an incident that happened a good many years ago when she was staying with Lord and Lady Wilton at Melton Mowbray. The then Lord Wilton, for various reasons, had gained the title among his tenancy of "The Wicked Earl"—in fact, few of the country people ever called him anything else. One Sunday Lady Cardigan and Lady Wilton went to church, unaccompanied by his lordship, who usually was a very regular attendant. Lady Cardigan saw the verger look at them curiously as they entered the church, and he evidently noticed that Lord Wilton was not with them, but she was scarcely prepared for what followed. It was the custom in the church to begin the service only after Lord Wilson and his party had arrived, but a new clergyman who was conducting the service that day was not aware of this, and he duly commenced: "When the wicked man"— "He's not come yet" the verger promptly interrupted in an agitated whisper—Pearson's. a the Wounded One of the crop of stories since June, West Point with the last graduating class was the retinue of a student who was present near to followme one of his studies.

The Poet of Cheer sat in his library deep in thought, while his poor wife was wrestling, after the fashion of Eve, with the serpents of domestic cares. "Really, Wadsworth," the good woman said, as she entered the room timidly, "I hate to disturb you, but you must do something about the coal. There isn't a scentful left in the col"— "Ah. Maria, dear," said the poet, looking up from his work, "you are just in time. Listen to this, dear." "That's very pretty. Waddy, dear," said the poor woman, "but just at present there are more pressing things than poetry that must be attended to. Cook has just left us because her wages were not paid prompt-" "That reminds me," said the poet smiling sweetly, "I haven't read this little thing to you that I dashed off last night: What though my friends have passed me by And left me stranded here? What though my hearth is cold and I A hopeless wreck appear? Mid all the dread of loneliness And all the roses that bound me pure. "Bather nice, eh?" "Yes," said Mrs. Jinx. "but really, Wad. dear. I can't smile on you with the cooking to do and the children to wash and drear"— "Ah, the children!" cried the poet ecstatically. "There you hit the supremeest joys of life." O ye kiddles, chickabiddles, Full of joyous play. Though skies be dark and caro and cark Shall linger on my way. No paint of mine, no grievous whine, Shall ever come from me Whilst I can hear their laughter clear Up in the nursery! "There was no answer. Mrs. Jlnx had disappeared, and the poet resumed his work. When two hours had passed and the pangs of hunger had begun to make themselves felt the poet arose from his desk and called: "Maria!" There was no answer, and the poet repeated the call: "Oh, Maria! I'm ready for my lu-unch!" Still there was no reply, and the poet walked out into the kitchen. There, pinned to the icy range, was a sheet of paper on which were written, in his wife's handwriting the following lines: Now, what care I for cark and care and ungrateful bills round everywhere, And life's domestic with its snare Or, woe that courage's smothers? Wonder how it may stay I shall not weep nor shall I sigh Because the kids and also I GERMAN SOLDIERS ON THE MARCH THE FIGHT FOR THE GREAT BRITAIN Have gone back home to mother at "Well, I'll be diggered!" said the poet, as he read this effusion over.

The judge, acquiring a new jug of private stock of great worth, generously tried a amdidge of it on Uncle Luke, the garden hand. Luke, something of a connoisseur owing to previous and surreptitious acquaintance with earlier private stock, struggled for words. "Ah ain't sayin' dat's good, jedge," he remarked earnestly.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1914. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIGBESTSTUDIO.COM In the past many of us read the Bible too carelessly. For instance, today's lesson was at one time applied to the Church. We failed altogether to notice that it says not one word respecting the Church, but is entirely applied to the heathen. The Jews were accustomed to think of themselves as God's people, and to style all others heathen, Gentiles, nations. In the prophecies God treated the matter from this standpoint. In this parable our Lord tells us what will befall after His Kingdom shall have been set up—after the selection of the Church, to be the Bride, the Lamb's, Wife, and Joint-bearer in His Throne. Who after proper consideration of the beginning of the parable will dispute that this is a description of Messiah's Kingdoms following His Parousia and His Epiphania at His Second Advent? Supreme Court of India The work of the Millennial Age is then delineated. "Before Him shall be gathered all nations." All the world, except God's holy nation, the Church, will be before His great white Throne of Justice, Mercy and Love. Then will be their judgment time. Six thousand years ago, in Eden, Adam and his entire race were judged, and the sentence was death. In due time God sent His Son to die for Adam's sin, so that "as by a man came death [of the entire race], by a man [Jesus] also will come the resurrection of the dead"—[the entire race]. "For as all in Adam die, even so all in Christ shall be made alive"—"every man in his own order."—1 Corinthians 15:21, 22. The first to be made alive in Christ is the Church. These pass their judgment, their trial, for life or death everlasting in the present time. Hence the worthy ones will be quite ready to be Messiah's Bride class, joint-heirs with Him in His Kingdom and in His work of judging the world.—1 Corinthians 6:2. The World's Judgment Day. The gathering of the world before that Throne will be the result of knowledge. The Time of Trouble will lead on to great knowledge. All blind eyes shall be opened, all deaf ears unstopped, and the knowledge of God's glory will fill the earth. Some there will be who, resisting this knowledge, will decline to accept Christ and will not come into this judgment, but after a hundred years of resistance will be destroyed. Those in the parable are such as have accepted Christ's terms, and desire to be on Judgment, or trial, for everlasting life. This will include all in their graves. Messiah's Kingdom will disassemble the knowledge of God and of righteousness, with a view to uplifting all the willing and obedient out of sin and death conditions to the full image of God, as possessed by Father Adam in the beginning. But what about heart conditions? If conformity to the Divine Law will bring blessings, would not some come into harmony merely because this outward harmony would bring Restitution? Undoubtedly this is correct reasoning. It is along this line that the parable before us teaches; namely, that outwardly, sheep and goats will have much the same appearance, except to the Judge, the King. He will read the heart, and ultimately will manifest to all that there has been a real heart difference between the two classes, all of whom will have been on trial for a thousand years. The Basis of Judgment Meantime each individual will have been making character. That character will be fully appreciated by the Great Judge, and the individual rated as a sheep or a goat. But not until the conclusion of the Millennium will His decision be manifested. The kingdom given to the sheep class is not the Meantime Kingdom. But that given to Adam, and lost through disobedience. Christ redeemed it by His sacrifice. The everlasting punishment to which the great class is assigned in the Second Death "overestating destruction." No provision will be made for redemption and resurrection from the Second Death. While blessings will be showered upon those who accept the Lord's terms, others will need assistance. S of death, into which approximately twenty thousand millions of individuals already have gone. During the Millennium the awakening from the dead will we believe, come about by Divine Power, in answer to prayer. Thus the race will come forth in reverse order to that in which they entered the tomb. BOWSER'S PIANO. TEARS FAIL TO MOVE HIM. Mrs. Bowser Sheds Them, For the Instrument Has Just Been Put In Shape, and Mrs. B. Just Knows Something Terrible Will Happen. Bv M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1817, by Associated Literary Press.] ON this certain evening Mr. Bowser didn't sit down to his cigar and newspaper, but he prowled around the house in an almless way. Mrs. Bowser noticed his actions, of course, and finally asked: "Have you lost a collar button?" "No." "Expect any one to sell you a burglar alarm?" "No." "Waiting for a band of politicians?" "No." "Then why do you prowl around like an old mule turned out on the world on a January night?" "Mrs. Bowers," he answered, "last night while you were playing the piano. I noticed that it was sadly out of tune. You must have heard some of the keys make a sort of ur-ur as you struck them?" "I heard nothing of the sort," promptly replied Mrs. Bowers as a dim idea of what he was up to flashed cary. "I WANTED TO HER THE UNDER SIDE" across her mind. "The piano was tuned only a month ago, and there are no ure about it." Mr. Bowser Has a Quick Ear. "But I insist that there are" continued Mr. Bowser. "I have a quick ear, and I say that no less than seven different keys had the sound of an egg beater at work. It may have been tuned a month ago, but by whom? "A first class tuner." "That is, he, of course, claimed to be first class and charged you $2 or $1, but how do you know he wasn't a carpenter or a blacksmith? There's a piano which cost me $000. It is going to rack and ruin for the need of a little overhauling. To get a competent man up here will cost $50, whereas-" "Whereas you can do the work in an hour yourself!" finished Mr. Bower. "Well, now, you let that piano alone. You know no more about the works of a piano than I know about the kitchen of the cxar of Russia. If there's anything to be done I'll get a man up here." "Madam," said Mr. Bower, as he stood before her with his hands clasped under his costtallis. "there is an ur-nur to that piano. It is out of our pair; it is going to ruin. I can orphan it in an hour and save $50. It will be a pleasure to me to do the work, and I also feel it my duty to save the money which would have to be otherwise paid out. I shall proceed to tune." "But you'll only destroy it. If you feel that you must tinker away at something, why don't you take the lawn mower, the gas meter or the cold shotgun in the garden." "I do not ask you to remain room during the tuning. Put on your hat and take a you can csh up to your roar in a novel. When I have notice to its original volume and mess I will call you." Mr. Bowser waved his nips that nothing on the earth could turn him inside. Bowser went upstairs in her eyes he got his knife pulled off his jacket to learn not with adventure at the wanted room to work at the plane and therefore to push it out into the floor. He was having trouble against the new foot slipped on the curved down and rolled over most of an elephant. He held a chair and hooded up was still lying on his back. Bowser came halfway out. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. he had a hammer, a hatchet, a screwdriver, a corkscrew, a screwdriver and a monkey wrench. As he fobbed the cover he saw the inside of a plane for the first time in his life. He had taken only one glance when he walked to the foot of the stairs and called Mrs. Bowser. A Strange Discovery "No wonder there was an uur when you hit some of the keys," he said. "What d'you suppose your first class piano tuner left among the wires?" "He couldn't have left any of his tools?" "No tools, but half a dozen strips of red damal. He even wove them in among the strings. That's probably where my missing channel shirt went. He was probably some man from a woolen mill." "Why, those strips are always put in," protested Mrs. Bowser. "I think the idea is to soften the sound." "Well, I don't. I think the idea is attract the rats and mice, and out they come." When Mr. Bower had finished pulling out the "rings" he very quickly discovered the method of tightening the strings. With one hand he fitted the monkey wrench to turn the keys, and with the other he started to tum-tum-tum on the keys, as he had once or twice seen a regular tuner do. He couldn't exactly decide whether all the strings ought to be tightened or loosened, and so he took a middle course and tightened half and loosened half. The effect wasn't exactly magical. It was worse. Some of the key-ripped and rubbed, and there were others which produced sounds as of a saw trying to cat it way into a crowbar. "For the bands sakes, but what are you doing now?" called Mrs. Bower after three or four minutes. "Saving a piano from wreck and rain!" replied Mr. Bowser, as two chills tried to gill up and down his spine at the same time. Up Against It For Fair. He hadn't quite hit it. He grudgingly admitted the fact to himself, and then began anew. In a dim, uncertain way he seemed to remember something about a "pitch" connection with tuning. He couldn't possibly recall whether it was high pitch, but he wasn't the man to heedle. He began humming the air of "The Girl I Left Behind Me" and keeping up the tum-tum on the keys. After awhile he found a sound to agree with his hum, and he took that for a rallying point. It was what he called a soo pitch, and after half an hour of keying up and keying down he got three keys which appeared to agree that some sort of girl had been left behind somebody. The other strings were obstatine. They wanted to play "Sally Waters," "The Sweet By and By" or "Yankee Doodle," and every five minutes Mrs. Bowser-kept calling down to know if a strange cat had got into the house or if Mr. Bowser had got an attack of colic. He finally refused to answer, but with his tooth shud hard and a glare in his eyes he started out to bring those strings into harmony or bust the box. He tightened ten, one after another, until they set up a bumming, and then he mopped his brow and started in to tum-tum the keys. There were ten sounds to bring out the goose-fish, but scarcely had the first shoulder passed over Mr. Bowser when the wires began to snap. The end of the first one tickled his ear, the second one curled his hair, and the third just brushed his chin. He was moving away when four went at once, and one of them had business with his nose. Mrs. Bowyer heard a yell and a sit down and came rushing downstairs to find Mr. Bowyer sitting against the wall with his nose in his hand. It was bleeding like a older barrel with the bung out, and the skin had been peeled from end to base. His eyes were also weeping large tears, and his bald head had a welt across it. Mr. Bowser's Finish. "Well, you've tuned the pianol" said Mrs. Bowser as she looked down upon him. "Who—who threw a cat in my face!" asked Mr. Bowser in a plaintive voice. "It's a wonder you didn't say I did," answered Mrs. Bowser, "and then go and threaten a divorce and all that. It was one of the wires that struck you, and you'll want court plaster on that nose for a month." "Wo-man-wo"—he began, but she stopped him with a gesture and said: "It will cost $25 to $30 to have that piano fixed, but it shall be done tomorrow. You've got to the end of your tune, and now go upstairs and let me see how nearly you are." Mr. Bowser obeyed without a protest. More than that, he never said a word while she was crisscrossing his nose with six strips of plaster. It was only after he was in bed that he growled under his breath: "It was a put up job to assassinate me, and you bet your life I'll make it cost somebody mighty dear." "Sure I was," replied the grouch "I'm a married man."—Cincinnati En- quirer. Not So Common. "Of course, these mushrooms you are serving us are edible. Mrs. Comeup?" "No, indeed, they ain't.

(Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, September 14.) Responding to a petition signed by more than 500 persons residing in the vicinity of Immannuel Baptist Church asking him not to grant an order authorizing the safe of that church to a colored congregation, Judge R. Carter Scott, of the City Circuit Court, has indicated his decision to grant no order of this kind before giving the protestants a full opportunity to state the grounds of their opposition. A recent order entered by Judge Scott appointed P. E. W. Goodwin and W. C. Smith trustees of Immannuel Baptist Church to succeed, respectively, W. L. Dorsett, deceased and S. B. Woodfin, resigned. Those with J. B. Southall, form the board of trustees of the church. Mr. Goodwin, who is chairman of the grounds and buildings committee of the church, admitted recently that negotiations were in progress for the sale of the church building at Fifth and Leigh streets to the Leigh Street Methodist Church, colored. It was stated on good authority that the negotiations were practically complete, and that only an order from the City Circuit Court. Billing vacancies on the board of trustees was needed to effect a transfer. It was pointed out by lawyers who had interested themselves in the case that the court would be powerless to forbid a sale of the property to the Negroes should the trustees of Immanuel Baptist Church apply for an order authorizing them to sell the property. The sale itself, it was stated, violated no ordinance. No law would be broken until the colored congregation attempted to use the church building at Fifth and Leigh streets as a house of worship. Such a use of the building, it was held, would violate the segregation ordinance, which forbids the use by colored people as a residence or place of public assembly of a building located on a block in which a majority of the residents are white. The case is the most noted that has come up since the passage of the Vonderlehr segregation ordinance, and is attracting city-wide attention. The congregation of Immanuel Baptist Church is anxious to dispose of the property and occupy another church in the western part of the city, but property-owners and white residents in the vicinity are bitterly opposing the transfer. WILL GRANT HEARING TO ALL PARTIES. It was expected that as soon as the new trustees were appointed, these would apply to the City Circuit Court for an order authorizing them to sell the property. The order appointing them was entered September 5, but no move to this end has as yet been made. Since entering the order appointing the trustees, Judge Scott has given notice that no order for the sale of the property to the Negro congregation will be made by him before a full hearing from the protestants. An interesting by-product of the controversy is an ordinance introduced in the Common Council on September 2, by Councilman Jones, of Madison Ward, which seeks to amend the segregation law in such a manner as would prevent the use of the church as a colored house of worship in the event that the sale takes place. Immanuel Baptist Church is located on the northeast corner of Leigh and Fifth Streets, and faces Leigh Street. The Fifth Street block, between Leigh and Jackson is white exclusively. The Fifth Street block between Jackson and Duval streets, is colored exclusively. Jackson St. however, enters, but does not intersect Leigh street, and a strict reading of the aggregation law, it is believed, would hold the entire stretch on Fifth street, between Leigh and Duval streets, to be one single continuous block between parallel Sts. Thus considered, the Fifth street block between Leigh and Duval streets would contain colored residents in the majority. It would only be necessary, then, to change the entrance of Immanuel Baptist Church to Fifth Street to make it front on a block which, under the aggregation ordinance, would fulfill the requirements for colored residence or occupation. The amendment sought by Councilman Jones would hold a street entering, but not intersecting another or street to be of the same effect as an intersecting street. If this amendment is adopted, Jackson St. would be regarded by the segregation law as intersecting Fifth street, and the Fifth street block, between Leigh and Jackson streets, upon which Immanuel Church is located, would then be regarded as a block between parallel streets, in which a majority of the residents are white. The measure will come up before the Ordinance Committee at its meeting next Thursday night. Its passage would effectively bar the use of Immanuel Church as a colored house of worship, even should an order be secured from the City Circuit Court authorizing its sale to the colored congregation.

The gathering was called to order by Rev. E. C. Morris, who for 20 years has served as president of the organization, and the address of welcome on behalf of Mayor Blankenburg was given by E. J. Cattley, city statistician. The convention, which represents 2,500,000 colored Baptists, went on record as being heartily in favor of the woman suffrage movement and made a plea for representation in Congress of the 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States. In his annual message, delivered at the afternoon session, President Morris, of Helena, Mont., declared that the suffrage movement sweeping over the world had its foundation in the fact that taxation without representation is unjust and that no class or race is better prepared by experience to sympathize with such a movement than the colored people. Speaking as to race antipathy Rev. Morris said: "The capital of our nation is a hot-bed of race hatred and from there it will continue to spread to all sections of the country until Negro men shall be permitted to re-enter Congress and speak for themselves. Why should 10,000,000 people be denied representation in the highest law-making body of the land? Why should matters be so manipulated as to close West Point and Annapolis to educated and patriotic young Negro men, who are anxious to be trained in military science for the good of their country? As Christian workers we are for peace and we pray for the time to come when the nations shall study war no more, and yet as true Americans, in the face of all discriminations, we stand ready to defend the flag of our country against any foreign foe." At each meeting of the convention, which will continue a until Monday, singing is to play a prominent part. At the evening gatherings a chorus of nearly 1000 voices will lead the large congregation in the hymns and old plantation songs contained in a specially-arranged book which has been distributed among the delegates. The congregational singing yesterday was conducted by Rev. W. H. Skipwith, of Philadelphia. He called for many of the old songs which are dear to the hearts of the colored people and they responded with a will that made the huge building echo and re-echo with songs of the Southland. The sessions to-day will be devoted to the reports of various committees and devotional services. Booker T. Washington, lead: of the Negro race is expected to arrive in the city this evening. He is scheduled to speak at the evening meeting tomorrow. The Woman's Auxiliary of the organization convened yesterday in Holy Trinity Church, Eighteenth and Bainbridge streets, Mrs. W. W. Layton, president, is in charge of the meetings, which will continue throughout the week. The women plan to take up the question of the home life of the colored people in all its phases. In this connection domestic science and child welfare exhibits are shown. These are in charge of Miss N. H. Burroughs, of the National Training School for Girls, of Washington, D. C. NEGRO.

In accord with the peace sentiment which seemed to spread over the great gathering of more than 5600 colored men and women from all sections of the country, the convention was addressed by Dr. H. K. Carroll, assistant Secretary of the Evangelical Church Federation of America who told of plans under way for a great peace-day demonstration on February 14, 1915. Dr. Carroll, representing the Federation of Christian Churches, with 17,000,000 communicants, came here from Washington to gain for the project the interest of the National Baptist Convention, which represents 2,500,000 colored Baptists. Dr. Carroll said that in all probability President Wilson will set aside this day by proclamation for national observance to commemorate the Treaty of Ghent. TO JOIN PEACE MOVEMENT Resolutions were adopted by the convention that the Baptist of the country, as a peace-loving people, join heartily in the movement. Dr. B. C. Morris, president of the convention, who, in his annual message delivered at the opening meeting, appointed a committee which is to be known as the Peace Committee of the convention. The committee includes Rev. L. G. Jordan, of Philadelphia; Rev. L. L. Campbell, of Texas, and Rev. R. T. Sims, of Mississippi. Dr. E. W. Isaac, of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the National Baptist Young People's Union, in making his annual report, told the delegates that the whole future of the colored race depends on the training and development of the youth of the race. Dr. Isaac pointed out that the church is failing to do its duty as a social factor. He declared that the church is allowing the lodges and fraternal organizations to come in upon its field by catering to the social desires of the people. character who ever gave his life for the world. He declared, that the Christian religion is the only power capable of bringing peace to the world and settling the differences among the warring nations of Europe. MAY AMEND CONSTITUTION. T. G. Ewing, of Nashville, Tenn., introduced a resolution calling for several important changes in the constitution of the convention. It was pointed out that the convention being an unincorporated body has been unable to control some of the incorporated boards represented at the convention.

Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Girls, Washington, D. C., made her annual report to the Woman's Auxiliary. She made an appeal for better church and home life among colored people. She warned her race against lilipshod preachers and declared that no good comes from the hundreds of churches which spring up like mushrooms under the direction of a preacher who can make his congregation shout and scream as if a nest of hornets had been let loose among them.
