Richmond Planet

NET WHY NOT ENGAGE IN BUSINESS, RATHER THAN TALK? Mr. Editor: We cannot forbear a word of comment upon The Richmond Planet's report of the proceedings of The National Negro Business League, which recently convened in annual session at Kansas City, Missouri. The opening paragraph of the report monitored says, "You the Business League will live long to serve the race and to be a monument to Booker T. Washington." Farther along in the article this report recites that, As early as August 10th delegates began to arrive, who had come to tell of their business successes, participate in the Memorial Exercises Industrial Parado and other features." Now let us see just what that mammoth convention of representative business men actually did to serve the race. In other words let us in all candor carefully search the report for one sane proposal; one single constructive thing suggested; one specific accomplishment in a practical business way, for which the race should applaud. By analyzing the report one finds in the first place that the delegates told of their business success. This means that they talked, boasted and told of their wealth, if indeed they were careful to tell nothing else. Secondly, they "participated in the Memorial Exercises." This simply denotes that they talked some more. Next came the Industrial Parade, which furnished the opportunity for the delegates to turn out on dress parade and show themselves. Among the important "features" was the "Banquet" at which they wined and dined and indulged in more talk. Now bragging of what one owns, or declaring from the house-top about what one has done, is an embarrassing, disgusting and humiliating business to every one save those engaged in it. And any program that indulges the feeling of ecstasy by encouraging a man to go upon a public platform and boast, brag and blow about how successful he is and of what he has accumulated, or to call attention to the manner in which his possessions were accumulated, is violation of good taste, to say the least. In just what particular manner the condition of the sort of a program furnished at Kansas City, Missouri, served the great body of the colored people of this country, or in what way a National Convention, burden of all practical results, is of any benefit to the Negro race, it seems difficult to perceive. However, the report goes on to tell of the "fitting language" used by one officer of the league; of the "remarkable ability" displayed by another as an organizer; of the "dignified eloquence" of a third; of the distinguished efforts of two others who "delivered admirable and polished addresses," and that the close of the exercises were marked by "the master speech by one of the race's master speakers." When one considers the very efficient business organizations among white men which accomplish results; and of the vast influence which they wield in the commercial world, he wonders why The National Negro Business League with its great annual convention, brilliant orators and matchless talkers, has not won recognition in the marta of trade or made its influence felt in the industrial world, and he is forced to the conclusion that there is nothing in a lot of empty talk. Again, if the National Negro Business League has any bank account worth while; if as an organization it has any commercial setting, standing or credit in the business world; if its officers possess the ability of real organizers; if its delegates have a genius for anything other than talk, one is inclined to speculate on the reason why this ability, genius, money, credit and efficiency, is not used to secure by purchase a controlling interest in the capital stock of some large corporation that would afford employment to a large number of colored people as clerks, salesmen, book-keepers, stonegraphers, cashiers managers, etc? If this organization aspires to be useful and wishes to become a real factor in human industry, in so far as the principle above laid down is concerned, there appears to be no good reason why The National Negro Business League, or any league subordinate thereto, could not acquire title to property, both real and personal, own and finance any business enterprise and operate the same by committee system or otherwise. To organize one large constructive enterprise of national importance; to present to the business world something tangible, material or practical, would seem a far more fitting and enduring monument to Booker T. Washington, than all the great conventions that the Business League can hold. Let its delegates and officers collectively, start some paying business and conduct the more efficiently and successfully; let them resolve to hold fewer conventions, banquets and games peresde. Above all else let them talk less, if they centre to intelligently serve the race in a SPARTANS HOLD BIG LABOR DAY METT. The movement to make the celebration of Labor Day a notable occasion among colored people, was successfully launched by the Spartan Literary and Athletic Association, on the campus of the Virginia Union University, on Monday, September 4th. The weather conditions were ideal and the attendance was large and representative. Among those present were men and women prominent in the professional, business and social life of the community. The program was well planned and the condition was exceptionally creditable. Because of the fact that both of the colored bands were filling out of town engagements, and of the inability of the management to secure a suitable subtitle, this parade was cancelled at the last moment, but the people accepted the situation philosophically, and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Great interest was manifested in the baseball game between the Spartans and the Southern Aid All Insurance teams, because of the keen rivalry existing between the two camps. The Spartans were nearly defeated, their eyes having become dimmed by reason of overwork, and consequently the ball passed them unseen. The score 6 to 2 in favor of the Southern Aid tells the rest. The premier event of the day was the wrestling match between Hanks and Butler, selected from the best of Spartan grapplers for the occasion. Although nearly fifty pounds lighter than his antagonist, Hanks proved a formidable foe for Butler. Time and again he worked himself out of difficult places, and escaped the traps and holds of his heavier, yet agile opponent, to the extreme satisfaction of the spectators. Butler was finally victorious, winning the first and third falls. The preliminary matches between small boys crushed a storm of appliance from the spectators, who showed their appreciation by throwing coins to the combatants. Snow and Dyson went at a fast pace in the sparing exhibition. Dyson, though untrained, kept his doughty and aggressive opponent on the jump every moment. Butler put the shot 28 feet to the discomfort of his competitors, and Joseph Harris, manager of the Southern Aid team, ran away in the 100-yard dash. Dave A. Leder ran his contestants to cover, when he raised 90 pounds over his head on the barbells. Alexander holds the Spartan record for 105 pounds with one hand. Hex Ortonen, the Spartan Tenor, captured the prize in the 220 yards, and Hanka broke the tape in the shoe race. Darkness prevented the other events, and Miss Esther James, of Washington, D. C., drew the lucky tickets good for one year membership in the Spartan Association. The awards went to Miss Dela Ruffin, Secretary of the colored Y. W. C. A., and Peter C. Jones, of 1507 Taylor Street. The day marked a new era in the athletic history of Richmond, and gave promises of bigger and better performances in the future. The president of the Spartans give credit for the successful execution of the Labor Day program to Prof. C. T. Russell, Virginia Union University; Messara, J. M. Dabney, Physical Director; C. D. Griffin, Maurice Roussele, Arthur Dyson, Eddie Smith, Fred Jackson, Chester P. Carter, Robert A. Cole, Vice-President; R. E. T. Walker, ably assisted by other officers and members of the association. In order that there might be no misunderstanding in regard to the Booster tickets issued by this association we do require to make the following announcement. These tickets were accepted as admission in every game of baseball played under the auspices of this association. The game on Labor Day, however, was only a part of the program, which included all kinds of athletic events, the admission fee being charged for the entire programme. The coupons on the Booster tickets were redeemed at the following games played by our team: Lincoln, Union, Ridley's All Stars, Brooklyn Slides, Adolphia's, Brownlos, and Ceasertown Athletics. Respectfully, Spartan Literary & Athletic Association, M. Alphonso Norrell, President. For the Benefit of the Public. It seems that a great may people are still unaware of the fact that "foods water and ice cream saloons" are open to the public as broad and wide as ever, as I have almost daily inquiries as to whether we are open on Sundays now or not. We have secured, special "Liaisons" to open on Sundays, and can accommodate the public, without any trouble or inconvenience whatever. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1916. REV. M. C. ALLEN Newly Installed Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, Danville, Virginia. REV. M. C. ALLEN INSTALLED AS PASTOR OF SHILOH, DANVILLE Almargo, Va., Aug. 30, 1916.—The Shiloh Baptist Church is over joyed with her newly elected and installed pastor Rev. M. C. Allen, B. Th. Rev. Allen is the son of Mr. and Mr. Cary Allen, of Buckingham Co., near Farm ville, Va., who gave this strong young man the benefit of their consecrated lives to Christ and his service before and after his birth. Rev. Allen entered the Boydport Inst. Boydton, Va. 1908 at the age of eighteen; there he spent two years under a mixed faculty (white and colored.) In 1910 he went to Lynchburg, the school that is of the Negro by the Negro, and for the Negro; the Va. Thro. Sem. and College, and in May 1916 became an alumnus of that school. And while he was in school for three years successfully pastored the Mt. Ararat Baptist Church, in the Valley of Virginia, Middlebrook, Va. Rev. Allen's first time to preach to us was Jan. 2, 1916. Rev. T. P. Johnson our pastor at that time, had received a call to the Fifth street Baptist Church Lynchburg, Va. Rev. Johnson resigned Feb. 1. 1916 and advised us to accept his resignation at once and call Rev. Allen, which instruction we followed. With a unanimous vote we called Rev. Allen as pastor. True is the scripture that says, "Obedience is better than sacrifice." There shall always burn in our hearts a sweet reminiscence for Rev. Johnson, for he was to us a father; we found him to be a true man of God and a pastor that cared for the Lord's flock. Rev. Allen accepted the call Feb. 27, 1916; and was installed Aug. 14th. There has been a steady increase of membership, finance, and spiritual REV. M. C. Newly Installed Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Interest since he accepted the call. Our revival closed June 15th with over fifty souls brought to Christ, and a large number reclaimed through his ten days of evangelism. Rev. Allen has organized "The young men's club, the daughters of Shiloh," the Sisters Circle," and "The Allen's Race Men," all of which are doing excellent work. The differ ent departments as they appeared on the program made the following reports. The Decaons $20.50, the Trustees $13.86, the Young Men $15.55, the Y. M. C. A. $4.00, the Race Men $7.31, and the Sisters Circle $111.12. The additional reports brought the collection of the week up to the $350.00 mark. Our Church is out of debt and in a splendid condition. We hope to raise $400.00 by the fourth Sunday in October to do some repairing. The Church gave Mrs. C. W. Allen a trip to Danville to the installation of her son, and she was royally intertained by the members and good people of Danville. The Sisters circle that has for its head Mrs. M. M. Love Secretary, Mrs. Cornella White and Mrs. S. L. Love, Treasurer, gave the pastor an agreeable surprise, a $50.00 suit. And the Church followed with one equally as pleasant, the raise of his salary from $600 a year to $720. The services were well attended and those on the program did credit to themselves and the occasion. The choirs of the stater churches seasoned the gospel bread that fell from Heaven through the lips of God's servants their pastors, so richly with angelic rhythm we all feasted until we would eat no more. The installation sermon was preached by Rev. A. A. Galvin, D. D. President of the Virginia Baptist State Convention, on Monday night, August 14th. The text taken from Isaiah 41:6, and our hearts burned within us while he tilted with us by the way. He sounded the very depths of theology, revealing the proper relation between the pastor and church. The pastor was exported to the pulpit by Doeons W. J. Hurbert and Green Bethel. President Galvin with timely remarks announced Rev. M. C. Allen duly installed pastor of the Shillob Baptist Church. Rev. Allen with well chosen words thanked all who took part in the program, and gave their presence, prayers and good wishes; and the way the meeting had impressed him. Dr. D. C. Woods, President of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va., could not be present on the account of recent illness. In a letter to Rev. Allen, he stated, "I was in hopes of coming up to the last, but the doctor has forbidden me to do any talking." We are glad that Dr. Woods is better and sincerely hope that he will heed the counsel of his physician. We know after such serious illness he is yet unable to take up his heavy work. Let us who are in the State and those who are out of the State, interested in the work of the "Fathers," increase for him our sympathy and prayers. Dr. Woods is a great man, promoting a great work, with a great constituency. THE PROGRAM Sunday, August 6, 9:30 A.M. M. Sunday School conducted by Superintendent W. J. Hubbert. 11:30 A.

C., August 9, 1916 saw the sun hide its face in the gloom that visits humanity at the loss of a friend and leader, when its Moderator, Rev. T. H. Hamlin resigned. Rev. Hamlin had for sixteen years presided over this body, but having been called to another field, out of its bounds, could not serve longer. It was soon known that God had the "ram" in the thickets for the offering. After the election of Rev. M. C. Allen as its Moderator, who proved himself equal to the task, with the mighty force of rhythm the heavens were cleared and the sun of success broke again in effulgent splendor on the Association. A COURT OF CALANTHE AT BOYKING, VA. Boykins, Va., Sept. 1—Grand Worthy Counselor, O. of C. of Virginia, Hon. John Mitchell, Jr.; Miss M. L. Chiles, G. W. R. of Deeks, and Dr. E. R. Jefferson, G Worthy Master of Exchequer of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, arrived in our town on the 5 P. M. train on the above date to institute a Court of Calanthe in our midst. They were met at the station by Deputy G. C. of Boykins, Sir D. W. Whitfield, who was delighted to see that the Grand Worthy Counselor had honored them with his presence on this occasion. A handsome conveyance was in evidence, and the distinguished guests were soon on their way to Shiloh schoolhouse, the place at which the initiation would be. Many of the ladies were already awaiting the arrival of the party, and a sigh of relief was heaved and a broad smile spread over their faces when they found out that Mr. Mitchell did not bring the "important box," which they saw when the Pythian Lodge at Boykins was made. Mr. Mitchell and Dr. Jefferson enjoyed a hearty laugh when one of the men inquired for "the box" at the station, as they well knew what that box contained for K. of P. initiations. Sir D. W. Whitfield and his wife had certainly done fine work to have 36 of the best people of Boykins ready to be made, and the G. W. Counselor was highly pleased and hearty congratulations were extended to them. A Planet Club was formed and also Thrift Savings Clubs were arranged for, and the newly made members were delighted with all features of the Order and the intitiation, and promised to make the membership 50 by the time of the regular monthly meeting of the Court. The following are the Officers of Rockins Court; W. Inr, Mrs. Anna R. Francis; W. C. Mrs. Octavia Whitfield, R. F. No. 1, Box 23, Rockins Va.; W. Iax, Mrs. Mary E. Turner, W. O.

C.—Last Sunday was a great day in Winston-Salem, a new epoch was marked in the Negro church life of the city, a new impulse was given the religious and philanthropic activities of the people. Dr. Rufus S. Stout, Corresponding Secretary of Church Extension of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, came here from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, in the interest of his denomination. He spoke with such eloquence and power that he reached the hearts of the two wealthiest men in the city, Mr. R. J. Reynolds, "Tobacco King," and Mr. P. H. Hanes, another multimillionaire. Col. Reynolds, after listening to this great race leader, gave him two lots worth $1,600, upon which to erect a fine C. M. E. Temple, and then gave five thousand dollars to assist in the building. Dr. Stout is being praised far and wide for securing this magnificent gift from one of the wealthiest men in the South. Mr. Reynolds pays to the colored people of Winston-Salem, thirty thousand dollars per week for labor in his mammouth tobacco factories. The ground-breaking services for the new C. M. E. Temple were held Sunday, when Roy. J. Arthur Hamlett. of Jackson, Tenn. Editor Christian Index, official organ of the C. M. E. Church, delivered the ground-breaking sermon on the subject, "Holy Ground." Others who spoke during the day were His Honor, the Mayor, Baton; Drs. Boyer, McLarty and Courtney of the white Methodist churches; Col. Hanee, a multi-millenniaire, Prof. Thompson, Mrs. Sills and Mr. Cash. It was a great day in Winston-Salem, and Dr. Stont has added another splendid achievement to his already brilliant history as a great new worker. EDITOR MICHELL PAYS A VISIT TO BOKINS, VA. I did not expect to go, but I went Friday, September 1st to North Carolina and then to Boykins, Va. This time I took the Seaboard Air-Line, in company with Miss M. L. Chiles and Dr. E. R. Jefferson. It is quite interesting to go over a line for the first time and this was the case in traveling to North Carolina. At Petersburg we met Rov. Charles Stewart the well known stenographer, lecturer and press reporter. I enquired if he had been able to enter the door without "sidling it." GOING THROUGH CAR DOOR. He laughed and told me that he went through the door "this way." As a matter of fact he was go broad that he could not enter the car door with any surety of coming through with out doing so side ways. He discussed with us the National Baptist Convention and then Knights of Pythias affairs. Finally he was absorbed in reading a copy of the Planet. Just then the porter came in and to the absolution disgust of Dr. E. R. Jefferson, he offered us a bottle of lilith water that he had just gotten from the spring where the train stopped. THE WATER DIET. Smothering his disgust Dr. Jefferson did as we did, he drank some of that he water. He lilies milk much better. When we arrived at Northeast we found that he had told us the truth, when he said that there was not a colored person of prominence in the place. We strolled about the streets and out into the country adjoining which had been laid into streets, giving evidence of a hand "boom of some time before. We drank at a soft drink store and while the salesman admitted that he was mighty fond of beer himself" but couldn't sell any. Dr. Jefferson showed to my absolute satisfaction that he could drink gingerale and soda, when he did not have anything else to drink. BANK THERE TOO. I met Mr. R. L. Fieldig of Warren Plains, N.C. This plague was only about two or three miles away. The bank at Northlake seemed to be up to date. The frost was of granite. When the train came, we were on our way to Boykans. Many colored people were on the train and we passed through Littleton, N.C., where a school is located. Arriving at Boykans, Mr. D W Whitfield and his friends were there to meet us. It was only a few minutes before we were in it four seat satry on the way to the three of meeting. --- Miss Mary E Washington is spending her vacation in Alexandria, Va. and Washington, D.

M., C. A. Puryear Returns from the North. To the Public, through the columns of The Planet: The Grand Master, accompanied by Rev. Mrs. Ada H. Burrell, left Friday, August 25, for Tuscareca, Md.

Mrs. Burrell left early, next morning, for Frederick, Md. Grand Master left on the afternoon train for Philadelphia. We worshiped with the good people of Saint Paul Baptist Church. This congregation had recently bought the German Reform Church on the corner of 12th and Wallace streets. This is one of the finest church edifices owned by the colored people of the United States. Rev Dr E. W. Johnson, the pastor, preached a sermon long to be remembered by those who heard him. After hearing the remarks made by the Grand Master Watchmen, Brother Jesse Ray, a Watchman of Alpha Lodge, came to the Grand Master and requested that the Grand Master take his Lodge does back when he returns to Richmond, Brother Ray, paid to advance. Mrs. Louis Saunders, Grand Mottress, went to the assistance of Mr. Alice Levy, at Ayletts, Va. She was met at the depot and taken direct to her stopping place. She, though tired from a long, tellous drive of ten miles over a sand road in the hot sun, lost no time in rounding up members for the Grand Lodge of St. John Watchmen. After several days' stay in King William, Ms. Saunders returned to the office, leaving two new lodges at Ayletts. After three weeks' tour, Mrs. M J Gibson, Grand Lecturer, returned to the office, none the worse for her various trips on the field. She visited the following Deputies and their fields: Mrs Bessie V.

DAVENPORT Correspondent. respondent ```markdown ``` POLICE INQUIRY NOW ORDERED Mayor Amble Directs, Chief to Report Why Colored Man Was Brutally Beaten By An Officer. Chief of Police Werner was today directed by Mayor Amble officially to investigate the charges brought by W. H. Beveridge of 507 West Clay street, that an officer at Glister Park last Saturday night cruelly beat a Negro person and used unleashed fireballs after the Negro had been knocked down and was unable to get up. Major Werner will begin inquiry at once and report to the Mayor, who then will take such action as may appear necessary. In referring the matter to the police chief, Mayer Amische gave him Mr. Beaverdale's letter, which was published exclusively in The Evening Journal yesterday afternoon. While Mr. Beaverdale does not name the policeman in his letter the records of the police department indicate that Officer T. J. Mayer is the man who will have to answer to Chief Werner, Mayer having had an alteration in Ginter Park with a Negro William Seths late Saturday night and having whipped his club with such effect that the man had to be sent to the Virginia Hospital. The officer, explaining what he was after led by the verbo and merely defended himself As was said today that citizens of Gluten Park probably would employ counsel to assist the city in an investigation. If a trial develops Commonwealth's Attorney. Wise will be required to chance of the presentation and so would be assisted in an attorney capacity by a special attorney to have seen the leading administrator of the police department drawn up. One of the facts will be sent to the Commonwealth's attorney. Those who have required inter-traumaticities of the affair and the afternoon that the Negro was standing on the street when the police of floor came in and demanded to know what was in a leather suit case carried by Settles. The Negro is said to have declined to open the satellite, declaring that it was his property and the policeman was waiting his right to open it. A fight was then precipitated which required in a terrific booth for the Negro his injuries being so great that it was necessary to send him to the hospital. (Rhythm 1) (Vance Evoking Journal, Sept. 1976) BRINGING NEGRO LABORERS ```markdown ``` PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD OFFICE CRAFTS MEN IN THE SOUTH FOR UNSKILLED WORK Philadelphia, Pa. More than 1,000 Negroes from Georgia and other Southern States have been brought to this city within the past few weeks by the Pennsylvania Railroad officials in an effort to solve the labor problem. Two thousand men arrived last week and are being subjected to the physical examination required by the rules of the road. Most of them will be put to work on the Pennsylvania grain elevator at Girard point. Agents of the railroad have been at work in various southern cities, more than forty miles north, all have trouble with the authority, most of whom cleared up, according to officials of the road here. These agents have been hiring Negroes ranging in age from sixteen to sixty years for unskilled work, offering from $1.50 to $2 a day. The railroad has discovered that it will not end labor shortage merely to import enough men for the immediate need. In the first batch brought from the South about a month ago 200 or 300 men secured through south en employment agencies, quit their jobs within a few weeks. These men were employed on improvement and construction work within a radius of ten miles of Philadelphia, and according to the railroad officials, left to accept jobs with contractors or around munitions plants. It is hoped that the others now being brought in will real-give the great opportunity being given them and that they will "stay on the job" instead of quitting as soon as they get a little money ahead. HOW HIGH FINANCE SEES A PRESENT DAY CRAZE New York, N. Y. - John H. Davis and Company Bankers, 10 Wall Street New York, in their financial circular issued regularly discuss the present day tendency to regulate by law nearly every liberty of the individual. These bankers say: "It never has been our practice to discuss in these circular subjects not generally recognized as having direct bearing upon the financial and industrial situation. At this time however, we find good reason to depart from this rule for the purpose of pointing out the dangerous and evil possibilities of the present craze that is disturbing economic and political conditions in so many parts of the country. "There is a great mass of available testimony that goes to show, that in most American communities where Prohibition has been put in force, its chief efforts have been to drive liquor from the open to cover, to make law-brokers of the people and to displace the milder harmless, beverages with less severe but more harmful and destructive to morals and health. There are prohibition locales in many number where the quantity of alcoholic liquor imported is proportionately far in excess of the consumption in places where the traffic is onite free. "It is in these states that Prohibi- tion is supposed to be poor, necessary by reason of the extensive Negro population, and yet it is the testimony of many of the most reputable Southern newspapers, backed by various court records, that marked increase in crime has followed closely upon the adoption of antiquor laws, attributable directly to the immediate development of illicit traffic. In such localities, as everywhere in dry territory, the closing of the openly conducted shop and bar has meant the multiplication of the secret still, the prompt appearance of the "boottegger" and the opening of the illegal den with all its vicious features. It is the admission of many employers of labor, especially in mining, lumbering and kindred industries, that whereas Prohibition seemed desirable before it was enforced, its result has been increased drunkenness and greater loss of efficiency, this by reason of the use of secretly purchased and quickly consumed liquor of far greater stupifying and poisoning power than that which was available when the traffic was open.

Stewart) Smithfield, Va. Aug 30.—Training the staff of better homes, better families, better schools and better health, the Negro Organization. Society of Virginia is making a tour through the state this week, preaching the doctrine to members of the community in the rural districts, and helping the people to think about the future which mean so much to the whole race. The four started Monday morning at Franklin, Va., where a helpful resting was held, the Mayor of Franklin declaring that it had been the best thing that had happened since the war. He was loud in his praises. In the puff were Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, Major Allen Washington, of Hampton Institute; Prof. J. M. Gandy, President Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Petersburg; Prof. W T. B. Williams, Hampton agent for Slater and Jean Funds; Dr A. A. Graham, Phobus, chairman of executive committee Negro Organization Society; M. W. Connor, professor pedagogue, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute; T. C. Erwin, Petersburg, field agent, Negro Organization Society; J. B. Pierce, district Negro Agent Farm Demonstrator, for Virginia; Prof Frank Trigge, president, Virginia Collegiate Institute, Lynchburg, Prof R Deut, musical director of Hampton Institute; Prof. E. A. Lone, President Christiansburg Institute; Rev. L. L Downing, Roanoke pastor Presbyterian church; Charles Stewart, D. D. Chicago. The tour was made in Hampton Institute Yacht, from Suffolk, where a large and interesting meeting was held in the Virginia theatre building, W H. Crocker presided, and the address of welcome was delivered by Judge McLemore. Several white men spoke, and the party was presented to the large audience by Rev. L. L. Downing, who told the personnel of each member. Editor Young, of the Journal and Guide, being among the visitors extended courtesies. While there were many speakers, the principal address was made by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. This being Dr. Moton's first time to tour the state since his election and installation to his present position. The people were anxious to see the successor to Dr. Washington, to hear his words of wisdom and advice. Virginians of both races turned out in large numbers, and Dr. Moton delivered a fine address. His advice to the members of the race was practical, sane and conservative. He made a plea for better life of the race, and urged that in the home the health be looked after by giving proper ventilation, plenty pure air. Of course, he was for better farms, better schools, and it was along this line that he touched the hearts of the people. This address was punctuated with outbursts of apologe. Bright and early the following morning the party moved to Smithfield, where they were met by a committee, headed by the Rev. Dr. W. E. Spratley, pastor of the A. M. E. church. Automobiles were used to convey the party to Isle of Wight Courthouse, about 7 miles from the city. A meeting was held in the Courthouse. The people for miles around turned out to greet the distinguished leaders and race representatives. They wanted to see the men who were working to help to shape the destiny of the race in the country. The Rev. Dr. Spratley predeided during the opening and the opening prayer was made by the Rev. R. B. Pare, Hon. Park Dean, excommunal witch attorney, made the address of welcome. He congratulated the race upon the progress made in the past fifty years. M. Gray, one of the leading citizens, also delivered an address of welcome, giving some history of Smithfield on its growth. He said that the school was not what they would like to have it be, nor what they intended to make it. He felt that the coming of the representatives of the race would be a source of inspiration to them. Major Allen Washington made a short address. In taking charge of the meeting and presided. He spoke of the work of the Society, "The Court social as made us welcome," he said, "and we shall put forth an effort to do good for each other. I have a knowing Mr Gray for a long time, though that he was an oyster tender. I did not know that he was a speaker before thank these gentlemen for their kind words. I take pleasure in presenting to you Dr A A Graham, who will tell you about the Organization Society." The actress of Dr Graham outlined fully the work of the society, showing how the whole race was reaping some benefit from it. He said that it was made up from all the organizations it. Virginia, secret societies churches, and the like, and it had been able to do what was deemed impossible to get all the people united on one common ground for the betterment of the race. "We are a great people to divide. You will find that the black Negro against the yellow Negro and the yellow Negro against the black Negro and churches fighting each other, but in this, all that is held aside and we must to help our people and we must to help our people the Negro must help himself. As has been told you, we stand for better homes, better farms, better schools and better health. Country people must buy' and build good homes, and they must educate their children. We must teach our boys and girls that it is no disgrace to work." As before, the principal address was delivered by Dr. Moton. He told some of his personal history, going back thirty years ago when he worked in a saw mill. There were present some who knew him as a boy, and knew of his struggles to reach his present position, or at least prepare for it. Some plain advice was given to the people "We can never get the respect of others unless we respect ourselves," he said, "and we are anxious that you shall think well of yourself. You must believe in yourself, believe in your own possibilities. Learn to boost yourself. If you have a horse to sell and speak of it being cripple, lazy and the like, then how can you expect to sell it? So it is with the Nero; if you speak of being downtridden, sick, 'you will never make any headway. We are not, downtridden. "It is not necessary for us to leave the south in order to make it in this world. So many of our young men rush to the north, when they could remain at home and make good. I met a young man, in New York, out of work, and I advised him to return to work, Carrie Carroll, this, he believed. I would rather be a lamp post in New York than grass or in North Carolina." I am sorry. say that young man is now in the penitentiary. "We are too careless at times about things that are essential in life. Don't be afraid of work. Go to work on time, and then give your employer the best service. Don't be afraid of working too long. By your work you must increase your salary and win promotion." Prof W. T. H. Williams spoke on "Education," and in this he is one of the best posted men in the race on educational conditions. Prof J. M. Gandy spoke on "Health," and took pledges. After serving lunch the party left for Sorry Courthouse. --- Guest at Hotel Dale, Cape May, N. J. New York City, Miss Hankin, Mrs. Jack Baker, Miss Lella Walker Robinson, Mia & R. E Winston.

Drew, the colored sprinter and holder of the world's record for the 100-yard dash, is suffering from a stroke of paralysis, and will be unable to participate in future track contests. His left side is affected. This breakdown of the famous sprinter is much deplored, because he has carried himself with such manliness and attained to the highest prominence as a representative of the University of Southern California. He and Binga Dibond, Roy Gerver, several others have done much to illustrate the point that given a fair chance our men will create for themselves creditable positions in competition with the best world-wide thought and effort in any given direction. We have so few men in sports and athletics that the falling by the way-side of even one makes a loss that is hard to replace. For the man, we express sympathy in the blasting of his hopes as one of the greatest sprinters the country has produced. Former Policeman Callingsworth will get cold comfort from Council, if he asks that body to investigate the denial of the right he claimed to appeal from the decision of the Mayor and Chief of Police, which resulted in his dismissal from the police force. In the first place, there is too much common sense scattered among, various members of both branches to admit even of the possibility that Council will take up such a case. And, in the second place, Council has nothing to do with the question, from any point of view. Some ten years ago, in an effort to divorce the Police Department as far as possible from the influence of politics, the city charter was so amended as to divest Council of all control over the department, except for the right and duty to fix its numerical strength and the pay of its members. So, as to the trial and dismissal of Cullingsworth, Council has no more authority than any individual citizen. So far as the right of appeal is concerned, the question is so clearly and exclusively one of law as to preclude any investigation along that line. If the former policeman has any remedy, it doesn't lie at the hands of Council. Judged from the result of the first big battle between the Roumanian and the Austrians, the story about the lack of discipline and training in the Roumanian army must have been put out for its effect on the betting odds. French Make salve. The French made considerable progress in violent attacks on the Verduz front, it was officially announced Some prisoners were taken. The French gains were made south east of Thionamont work. The German man made two attacks on Fleury villa large, and in the vicinity of Fort Vaux but were completely checked, losing heavily. An official note reviewing last week's operation was issued. It said "On the Somme, as at Verdun, we are leading in the offensive and dognating the adversary. There is not a point in the general theatre of portions where the enemy is not actually reduced to the defensive. Action which we have undertaken continues despite the resistance or reaction to the enemy." Kills Wife and Her Father. John Wokutch, aged thirty-eight, shot and killed his wife, aged thirty- eight, and his father-in-law, Jacob Egle, aged sixty-four, following a raid with the latter at his home in Pittsburgh, Pa., and was indicted responsible for a third death in North Braggs, killing a crowd in front of Wokutch's home.

He was only about 12 years of age but had a reputation for daring exploits and hair-raising stunts, which could not be equalled anywhere within a radius of a couple of blocks. Now, there is plenty of water down at the beach and the mother knew well that there wasn't any ten-foot fence surrounding the same. That being an undisputed fact, she reasoned that her son would go in to swim and as the capacity of his stomach was at the best very limited, she also knew that if anything happened to him in that water he The Maple View Car Service Announcement of the virtual settlement of the differences between the New York Railways company and their employees, averaging a strike, was made by Hayward, public service commissioner.

President Wilson is now anxious to have it thought that there was no withdrawal of troops from Mexico at the request of Cáranza. Why not go one better and declare that we never had any troops in Mexico to withdraw? It was stated that the president would work on his acceptance speech during his week and trip on the Mayflower. Among the salt billows there should be some inspiration for ringing sentiments on naval preparedness. Mr. Hughes says there should be firm dealing in Mexican affairs. Maybe so, but we have had enough of the term of Wilson, Carranzdf & Co.

HAPPENED could not drink up all the waters of the bay, therefore the chances were that after he had drunk to his capacity he would drown. To avoid this calamity she thought that she would give him a lecture on the subject of not going into the water that day, as she was to remain in Richmond. She started by telling him of another boy who had disobeyed his mother's warning and was brought home drowned, causing much sorrow to his mother and sisters. This had a seeming effect on the youngster, but the lecturing mother thought she had better make it very impressive, so she said: "If you are brought back drowned I'll WHIP YOU TO DEATH! Overland Red BY Harry Herbert Knibbs Copyright 1914 by Houghton Mifflin Co. A jone minor discovers a rob mine in the Mohee desert and works it secretly. He dies of thirst. Louise Lackawear meets Overland Red and Collie Mays. They are caught. Overland Red tells Lackawear Collie's unhappy boyhood, and she befriends the pain. Deputy Sheriff Tullow arrests Overland Red, charging him with the murder of the miner. Collie Mays says is innocent. Red makes a daring escape. Collie is arrested, and Louise sends her uncle, Walter Stone, to the jail. Attracted by Louise's beauty and kindness, Collie decides to abandon tramp life and become a cowboy. Overland Red, still a fugitive, starts his quest for the hidden mine, and Collie hones his money. Red meets a rich tenderfoot, Wintrop, and interacts him in the lost mine. They become partners. AFTER a week of weeding in the vegetable garden Collie was put to work repairing fence. There were many miles of it including some 20,000 acres of grassing land and the cross fencing of the oat, alfalfa, fruit and vegetable acreage. The Moonstone rapaho was well ordered under the direct supervision of Walter Stone's foreman, Brand Williams. Williams was a Wyoming cowman of the old school, taciturn, lean, sinewy. Collie stood awaiting the foreman's instruction. "Ever mend fence?" asked Williams. "Nope." "Good. Then you can learn right. Go rope a cayuse, get some staples and that leetie in my office and go to it. There's plenty fence." The "Go rope a cayuso" momentarily staggered the boy, but he went abently to the corral, secured a rista, and by puzzling the playful pony by his amateur tactics he finally entangled "Buldy," a white faced cow pony of peaceful men but uncertain disposition. Williams, watching the performance, faxily rolled a straw paper cigarette. Snubbed to the post, bridled and daddied awkwardly. Buldy gave no outward sign of his malignant inward intent of getting rid of the lad the minute he mounted. Williams slowly drew a match across his sleeve from elbow to wrist, ending with a name that was extremely convenient to his cigarette. He wasted no effort at anything. He was a man who never met a yawn halfway, but only gave in to it when actually obliged to. Collie climbed into the saddle and started for the corral gate. He arrived there far ahead of the horse. He got to his feet and brushed his knees. The pong was humping round the corral with marvellous agility for so old a horse. "He never did like a left handed man," said Williams gravely. "Next time get on him from the other side and see if he don't behave. Hold on; don't be in a hurry. Let him throw a few more jumps, then hell quit for today most likely. And, say, son, if he does take to buckin' with you again, don't choke that saddle to death hangin' on to the horn. Set up straight, lean a little back and clinch your knees. You'll get piled anyhow, but you might as well start right." The boy approached the horse again, accured the dangling legs and again mounted. Baldy was as denure as a spinster in church. He actually looked plious. Collie urged the pony toward the gate. Baldy reared. "A骇色 blit ain't made to pull teeth with, although you can," said William. "Baldy's old, but his teeth are all good yet. Just easy now. Ride in your saddle, not on your reins. That's it! And say, kid. I would 'n' got them staples and that ax before crawlin' the hoose, eb'." Collie flushed. He dismounted and walked to the foreman's office. When he returned to the corral the horse was gone. Williams still at the corral bars smoking and gasping earnestly at nothing. Round the corner of the stable Collie saw the pony, his nose peacefully submerged in the water trough, but his eye wide and vigilant. The boy ran toward him. Baldy averted and, "He never did this a left handed man, and Willie gave up." SYNOPSIS CHAPTER VII. wheeling, ran back into the corral circling it with an expression which said plainly "Let us play a little game of tag, in which, my young friend, you shall always be it." Again Collie tried to rope the pooy. "Want any help?" asked Williams as he sidet from the corral bars to the ground. "Nope." And Collie disentangled his legs from an amazing contortion of the rata and tried to whirl the loop as he had seen the cowmen whirl it. "Hold on, son!" said Williams. "You mean right, but don't go to rope him with the saddle on. If you looped that horn he like as not would yank you clean to Calabasas before you got your feet out of that mess of rope you're standin' in. "Anyway, you can't gin' to Calabasas; you've up the other way." Collie was learning things rapidly, and, better still, he was learning in a way that would cause him to remember. As Colle finally rode away through the morning sunshine Williams loafed across the corral, roped and saddled a white eyed plato and, spurring up a narrow canyon west of the ranch buildings, disappeared around a turn of the shady trail. As the foreman rode him alternately talked to the pony and himself. "Trump, eh?" he said, addressing the pony. "What do you say, Sarko? Nothin', eh? -Same as me. Overland Red's kid pal, eb? Huh! I knowed Jack Summers, Red Jack Summers, down in Sonora in St. Mexico was some open country then. Jack was a white pardner too. Went to the bad account of that Chole girl that he was courgin'缸 wrong. Funny how the boss comes to pick up that kid. Thinks there's something' in him." Williams picketed his pony in the meadow above the third cross fence. Loafing down the slope toward the spring, he noticed the faint smoke of a fire. Farther down the line fence he could see Collie in the distance riding slowly toward the three live oaks. The foreman found a convenient seat on a ledge, rolled another of his eternal cigarettes and watched the boy approach from below. Collie had already discounted three times that morning, twice to meed fence and once more involuntarily. He determined, with a mighty vow to the bowlegged god of all horse flesh, to learn to stay on a brawny or die learning. The boy had a native fondness for animals, and he had already thought of buying a pony with his first few months wages. But the vision of his twirl "companion" Overland, perches imprisoned and hopeless in the city of the church "annulled that desire." He would have every cent for that emergency. Armed in the spring, both boy and horse drank gratefully, for the day was hot. Then Colle noticed the thin smoke coming through the trees and stole toward it to find Overland. "It it isn't much of a fire yet," said Overland. "Our hired girl"—and he grimmed through a two weeks' tangle of red board—"oh, but isn't the little workman' with his little ole boss and his garments of toil?" "Oh, Red!" examined the boy. "So sure, I been hildin' in my whiskers so long I didn't know if you'd know me." "I been thinkin' about you every day." "Thuh. So have L. I reckon some others has too. Say, what you been doin' intely, studyin' law or learnin' the piano?" I been lookin' for you for a week. It's the first day I seen you out on the range." "I was workin' in the garden first then they put me at this, this mornin'." then they put the at the top, this horrible. "Chuh. Well, Col, that there get away of mine is in all the papers. Trump. Cowboy Horse and Escape. Say, did she rip about my borrowin' the cayley?" "She was mad at first, but your fancy ridin' kind of made her forget. I told her you was square, Red." "Huh! I guess she could tell that herself." "But, Red. I'm not kiddin'. I told her uncle on the bunch and the guy on the desert." "Did he believe it?" "I guess so. He ain't said much But he gives me the chance to make good. He must have believed some- thing." "Well, stick to it, Collie. You never was cut out for a genuine towerlike me, anyhow. It ain't in your blood." "What you goin' to do now, Red?" "Me? Listen! There's gold out there somewhere. I broke now. I need some dough. I got ideas. Ten dollars does it. I get a new set of clothes and get shaved and me hair trimmed close. Then I commence me good work in Main street, in Los.

"Don't mention the hoes, pal. Jest make motions with your hands when you mean him. Talkin' is apt to wake him up." For a moment the boy gazed away to where the silver of the Southern Pacific rails glinted in the valley. Overland Red's presence brought back polygently the long, lazy days of loafing and the wide, starry nights of wayside fire, tobacco and talk. There was a charm in the free life of the road—that long, gray road that never ended—never ended in the quiet shade of a mountain ranch or in the rose-bordered pathway to a valley cottage. The long, gray road held out no premise of rest for worn and aged folk. After all its only freedom was the freedom of eternal wandering until one could adventure no longer—and then? Better to tread the harder path of duty. The boy's black eyes were lifted pleadingly. "Red," he said beatingly, "Red, I got to tell you to camp the other side of that line fence till I come tomorrow." Overland understood instantly that the lad was but following general instructions. He loved the boy and so perseverely worked upon his feelings. "Oh, the other side? Ex-cuse me, chief, for intrudin' on this here reservation. Sorry I'm crowdn' you so." "Now, Red, wait-" "Wait? What, for you to insult your one pal again by tellin' him he might drink all the water in the here spring, mebby, or inflorescence the minerals of the cattle, or steel the wire off the fence? Huh! I thought I was your pal?" "Oh, Red, quit kiddin'. Don't you me I got orders? I got orders." "You've gettin' civilized fast, all right. The first thing civilization does is to projece hoboes and bums. Then she turns up her nose because hoboes and bums aren't civilized. Did you ever see a ma cat got mad because one of her kittens was born with some eye sore? guess not. Cats has got sense. Now, I don't indignify myself to the extent of crawling' under that line fence." "Course I'll bring you the coin in the mormon'. But if you don't go now, why, I got to quit this job. I got to play square to him." "So it's orders or me, eh?" to use you right and be square too." Overland Ridg's heard hid the quiver of his life as he asked hunkily: "And B. D. WILLIAM "Oh, Red, quit kiddin'! Don't you see I got orders." you would be comin' back on the road with your ole pal again! You would give up the job and the chance of a smile from that little rose lady girl and dawn the coop with me again if I said the word! "Sure I would. You come first and the job comes second, but—but I want to keep the job." Brand Williams watched the man and the boy as they walked along the line fence trail together. Collee leading the pony, the man talking and gesticulating earnestly. Finally they shook hands. The tramp crawled under the fence. The boy mounted Baldy and roped away. Williams, catching up his own horse, spurred quickly across the ridge above the spring that the boy might not see him. B ROAD avenues of feathery paper trees, long driveways between shadowy rows of the solderly eucalyptus, wide lawns and gigantic peaches of the southern lakes, woven pampas grass, grays the plumes of romance; jasmine, orange bloom and roses everywhere. Over all are the eternal sunshine and snow breeze of the sea, gravelly cooling, floundabout in a girdle of far hills. Bome old Bismarck puffy named in "Wakatara Noon Butea de Las Angustes," making modesty, that will work with its ancient charm. A city far smack, verily. A city of angels? Verity, some fallen, indeed, for there is much nefarious trafficking in real estate, but all in all the majority of souls in Los Angeles are celestial bound, treading upon sunbeams in their pilgrimage. Overland Red, a harsh note in the monolence of the place, stopped buoyantly across the square. And here, if ever, Overland was at home. A swarthy, fat Mexican shaved him while a lean old curale of Overland's earlier acquaintance obliquely accepted some pesos with which to drink the sonor's health and other pesos with which to purchase certain clothing for the mono. The retired curale drove a relentless bargain with a countryman, returning with certain picturesque garments that Overland domned in the back room of the little circus blue barber shop. The trump had wortily determined to hold wise and romantical convenience with the first customer that "looked good to him." He would make half truths do double duty. He needed money to purchase a burro, packs, canteen, pick, abuel, dynamite and provisions. He intended to repay the investor by money order from some desert town as soon as he found the hidden gold. This unusual and worthy intention lent Overland added assurance, and he needed it. Fortune, goddess evanishing and coy, was with him for once—if he could but dodge the plain clothes men long enough to outfit and get away. The Mojave bar, on North Main street of the City of Angels, was all but empty. Upon it the latitude of early afternoon lay heavily. The spider legged music racks of the Mexican string orchestra, the empty platform chair, the deserted side tables along the pictured wall, the huge cactus scrawled over with Twin etched initials—all the impediments of the saloon seemed to slumber. The white coated proprietor, with elbows on the bat, groomed listlessly at a Remington night scene—a desert nocturne with a shadow adobe against the blue-black night, a glimmer of lamplight through a doorway, and in the golden pathway a pony and rider and the red dash of pistol shots. Opposite the bartender, at a table against the wall, eat a young man, clad in cool gray. He smoked a cigarette, and occasionally slipped from a tall glass. He was slender, clean cut, high colored, an undeniable patrician. In his mild gray eyes, deep down, gleamed a intent humor, an interior twinkling not apparent to the multitude. Sweeney Ornutt, the sailor keeper, noticed this reserve characteristic now for the first time, as the young man turned toward him. Sweeney was a retired plain clothes man with a record and a bank account. It was said that he knew every crook from Los Angeles to New York. It be added, to his credit, that he kept his own counsel—attending to his own business on both sides of the bar. "Do they ever do those things now?" queried the young man, nodding toward the picture. Sweeney Ornutt smiled a thin tipped smile. "Not much. Sometimes in Texas or Mexico. I seen the day when they did." The young man lustily crushed his leg. "Nice and cool here," he remarked presently. "Been in town long?" asked Sweeney. "No, only a few days." "I was going to try there's a good show over on Spring Street—movie pictures of the best rolls and buckin' and cordin' I ever yet." "Yes? Is there any one in town who is not working for the movies?" Again Sweeney Grunt lifted his thin lipped smile. "Yes, I guess there is. I might come up one or two I used to know who is within the transients, which aren't exactly worth it for the movies." "I should like to most some character who is really doing something in earnest—that is, some cowboy, minor prospector, twainist, etc. of these twenty male team members, you know, or any such chap. Why, even the real estate man that has been up to my hotel seem to be a stalking a port. One expects every minute to see one of them pull a gun and hold up a follow. No doubt they mean business." "Bank on that," said credit dryer. "You see," continued the young man. "I have too much time on my hands just now. The doctor let me rest, and I've been doing nothing else all my life. It's pretty habituals. I've tried to get interested in some of the chape on North Main street and around the plaza. I've offered to buy them drinks and all that, but they seem to shy off. I suppose they think I'm a detective or something of that kind." "More like a newspaper man after a story. Hello, there! Now what's doin'?" Outside near the curb a crowd had collected. A train officer was talking to the driver of an automobile. As Sweeney Orcutt strolled toward the doorway Overland Red, clean shaven, clothed in new curtains and high lace boots and a soirée assistant on his stuff red hair, dove into the saloon and called for a "bus set of sundae." "Close shave. Red," whispered Orcutt. "Had me ocurre likewise," replied the tramp. "Say, Swensen, stall off the Dick out there. I think he piped me as I blew in, but I ain't sure. He'll be pokin' in here in a minute. If he sees me talkin' to the guy there, for instance, and give him a steer, he won't look too close. Sabe!" And Overland drank, observing the eaterner at the table over the top of his glass. "They got that guy Overland Red nugged in every station from here to Chicago," whispered Orcutt. "Paper says he put it over a desert rat up near Barstow. Did you hear about it?" "Some," replied Overland sententiously. "And did you hear about his last goaway on one of the Moonstone Bank pointe! Some class to that!" "I read somethin' about it," replied Overland. "Well, Red. if you won't tumble, all I got to be me, be beat it. You're worth a thunk's to any fly top that." nips you la tails town. I'm handin' a little dope that you can slide out on and not get stuck." "Thanks, Sweeney. Well, I'll ring you up from Kalamazoo." "Kalamazoo? In them, clothes?" "Sure. There's a law against trav- ell'n naked in some states. Where you been grazin' lately?" "In the bull pasture; and say, Red, it's gettin' warm there for some." "Well, I guess I bent it." "Said Overland." "Take a slant at the door first." Overland turned betrayly. In the doorway stood the traffic officer. He glanced from Orcutt to the two men gear the table. "Hello, Sweeney?" he billed, glancing a second time at Over- land. "Hello?" answered Sweeney, strolling to the end of the bar. "Somebody sneezed?" "Yes. Say, who's the guy, the big one?" "Him? Oh, that's Billy Sample, the fella that does the desert stuff for the General IIm company. The kid is his paragon who acts the tenderfoot. They're waitin' for the machine now to take 'em out to Glenland. Got some stunt to pull off this afternoon, as Billy was tellin' me. They're about half stewed now. They make me slick." "Thought I saw the big guy out on the street a minute ago," said the officer, beatingit. "There's a card out for a fella that looks like him. I guess." "He thought it was his machine comin', and Orcutt. 'He him out to see. It's a wonder how then movie actors can make up, to look like most body. Why, I been in your line of business, as you know, and I been fooled lots of times. A fella feel like he don't know what he's at with the town full of them movie picture actors." "Well, so long, Sweeoney." And the traffic officer, a little afraid of being laughed at by the famous ex-southern Sweeoney Orcutt, depended just a thousand dollars power that he might have been bad he had the courage of his convictions. Overland and Orcutt exchanged glances. Orcutt's glance tested meaningly for an instant on the ex-southern Orcutt, who cried to the young ex-southern, who immediately rose to his feet and bowed. "You was lookin' for somebody that's the real thing, you said. This here's my friend Jack Summers. He used to be sheriff of Aldeno once. He didn't "My real name is Jack Summers," be- gan Overland Red. "My real name is Jack Summers," began Overland Red. workin' for a month' picture outfit and he won't borrow your watch. Mobly he has little business to put up to you and Nobby not. Take my word for it, he's straight. "I'm William. Whisthop back east Tilly will do here. I'm a tenderfoot, but I'm not exactly a fool. I observed the delivery with which you engineer the result evolution of the policeman I'm interested." "Sounds like plush to me," said Overland. "I got a little time, not much. You're correct about the cop. I got a pretty good thing out in the Molave-gold. Whisthop hungled. "You aren't losing any time, are you?" "You wouldn't bother if you was in my boots," said Overland, grinning cheerfully. "Oh, Red's all right!" said Orcutt. "What'll you guys have?" "Sexist" I'm all right, Sweeney, I'll take $5 in small change. I need the coin for entertainin' purposes. I'll pay you in the month." "You got me that time" said Orcutt "Here's the coin." "Shall we sit down here?" asked Winthrop, indicating one of the tables. "Sure, Now, this isn't no frame up. No; I'll set where I can watch Sweegey. He's like to steal his own cash register if you don't watch him." And Winthrop notched that his companion faced the door. He also noticed, as the man's coat brushed against a chair as he set down, that that same coat covered a shiny black shoulder holder in which glimmed the worn bolt of an automatic plated. "My real name is Jack Summerns," been Overland Red. "Some folks took to callin' over Overland Red, accin' as I been some towerer in my time." "Great," murmured the easterner. "Overland Red! That name has me bronzed!" "You was sayin'?" querted Overland. "Beg your pardon. Nothing worth while. I haven't been so happy for a year. Let me explain. I have a little money pretty well invested. I also have lungs. I believe. The doctors don't quite agree about that, however. The last one gave me six months to live. That was a year ago. I owe him an apology and six months. I'm not afraid exactly, and I'm certainly not glad. But I want to forget it. That's all. Go ahead about that desert and the cold. I listen."

THE MECHANICS SAVINGS BANK A Photo by American Press Association BELIEVE GREECE FOR ALLIES Berlin Preparing for Addition of Greece to Foes. Germany has begun to make preparations for the entry of Greece into the war, as German diplomatic circles now reward it as a certainty that the Hellenic kingdom will join the allies. Greek residents of Germany have begun to leave. The Greek minister to Germany will be received in audience by the chancellor, br. von Baltham Holweg. Following news of Rumania's entrance into the war, King Constantine has called a war council to convene at Athens. It is believed the future action of the blamed will be decided at this meeting. The Increasing Impressions of the Bulkartans into Greece are believed to be bringing Greece appropriately near hostilities. The populace is at fever heat, demonstrations of large proportions are being held in favor of a war on the side of the entente. General Constantine Moschopoulos, the new chief of staff, has expressed the hope that his eleven months' close association with the allied forces during his command of the Greek troops at Salonika, and the cordial relations between himself and General Sarrail and the British generals, would serve to strengthen the good relations between Greece and the allied powers. "I think I can be a previous advocate of the entente," he said. Ayes Mother-In-Law Claiming that she has allonated the affections of his wife, William D.

A polite man in West Point, Va. she a federal tough, who was making himself objections, not only to the arsonists, but to the people of their community. The town council then passed a resolution calling upon the Southern Railway officials to discontinue their excursion trains to West Point. This looks like a case of grim humor. It seems to us that the "toughs" should have sent that petition to the Southern railway officials and not the town council. Moreover the excursion season is now over THE ELKS AT PHILADELPHIA. The Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E., in its recent sessions at Philadelphia succeeded in making at least one man happy, and that man was Arsmann W. Scott, when the members elected him Grand Exalted Ruler. Our own brilliant and efficient James T. Cantler was re-elected Grand Treasurer. His report was said to be the best ever made in the history of the Order. The retiring Grand Exalted Ruler, T. Gillia Nuttler, has been successful in unifying all of the elements in this great organization and he may look with satisfaction upon the great work he has accomplished. We do not believe that the Order made any mistake in the selection of a successor to the great leader who has stepped down and out of his own volition. Attorney A. W. Scott is an attor ney of ability and an orator of the "first water," and we see no reason why the organization should not now enter upon an erasif unbounded prosperity. Of course, local pride is uppermost, and like the rest of Itlen monders, we are happy over the success of Capital City Lodge in winning prizes. THE AGE'S QUERY. The New York type seems to be hunting for trouble these days. It has propounded the following query: Do ministers pastoring congregations of Negro churches in New York City, receiving practically their entire support and maintenance from members of the race, give in return their financial patronage, in whole or in part, to enterprises conducted by Negro business men? We were very anxious to know if this journal had confined its investigation to preachers. The poor preacher has enough to answer for as it is, and to have him paraded as not patrolling members of his own race is rather embarrassing both to the preacher and to the people who support the preacher. The New York Age publishes the honor roll and includes in the list of titles, the following: The Rev. A. C. Powell, pastor Abraham Baptist Church The Rev. W. W. Brown, pastor The Rev F M Hyder, pastor St. James, Presbyterian Church The Rev F A Cullen, pastor Salem M. J. Church. The Rev R W Arnett, pastor Rebeil A M H Church. The Rev M W Huckess, pastor Baptist Temple. We will like to know how many of that time will be willing to make an attest that they pay the colored merchants that they patronize? The New York Age gives the honor roll among business colored men, who patronize each other. Here it is. Physicians Dr Leo Figg Negron, Dr A R Graves, Dr Gus Henderson, Dr William H Johnson, Dr Neck. Lawyers Counsellors E. A. Johnson, Louis A. Leavelle, Wilford H. Smith, Charles G. Shend, James C. Thomas Jr. Phillip M. Thorne, Robert Warring J. Frank Wheaton Drumpists Dr. J. B. Anderson, Dr H. C. Blue Grocers R. J. Carr, R. F. Turner Furniture Aloe Anderson Tatler E. T. Ashley Butchers C. W. Anderson I. Wearer Haberdachter R. E. Nicholas Restaurants Clarence Dodson Haster C. Haynes Cafes Petry Brown Thomas J. Johns Morris Charles Therpe Purton D. Wikings Lorey Wikings We would like much to have the tutors of those who pay the colored concern that they patronize. We do not like to create our experience along these lines. It will be found that rigidity of our leading business concerns among the colored people are fatally detrimental in this respect. They preach one thing and they practice another. White people are far more considerate in their dealings with colored corporations and business more than are hundreds of the colored people who confess to be interested in racial progress. It would be interesting to the Age to make an investigation among its own elite force and have a conversation with the colored ladies that it employ. When the truth is known, it will be found that they have, to a greater or less extent, the same antipathy to colored folks in business and in other affairs that the white folks have, unless they are primarily engaged in business where this support is primarily needed. We are often led to wonder just when this racial handicap will disappear. Certainly, though, the Agro is doing a great service: If the plan is followed in other cities beneficial results will follow. Here, in Richmond city, the municipality of progress, we find that the lack of racial interest and support is as deeply defined as in New York, and that segregation and race persecution are the two great levers which tend to make possible the prosperity that many of our racial institutions enjoy. The last analysis of the whole situation is that the Negro is, in many respects, his own worst enemy. INFORMATION FOR BAPTISTS. The Philadelphia Christian Recorder M contained a statement of the financial condition of the publishing house of the A. M. E. Church, which will no doubt, cause the members of the National Baptist Convention "to sit up and take notice." The manager, Rev. and Dr. J. I. Lowe, one of the most indy the ential churchmen in the country, and a man with oratorical powers of the bu THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA first order, has been forced to resign on account of the financial disasters, which have over taken the concern. He has occupied the position for four years and he alleges that he has put into the business more than twice as much as he has received as salary. This dates, of course, from the meeting of the last General Conference. The concern owes him $2,845.63. The expenses of the concern are from $250.00 to $300.00 per week, and the receipts about $160.00 per week. The indebtedness of the A. M. E. Book concern is $15,379.55. The amount due Editor R. R. Walters is $1,942.25. The paper dealers refused to put one pound of paper on the floor of the concern unless paid in advance for it. This is the same old story. Theorists may talk until doom's day, but operating a publishing plant is one of the most difficult tasks ever assigned to any man, woman or child since the foundation of the world. All of this talk about the great financial success of the National Baptist Publishing House at Nashville, to our minds, is the "merest moonshine. Presumpt E. C. Morris and his associates, who have been pressing a suit, for the possession of that publishing plant, will find that they will secure a lemon for their palms. It has been the experience of every colored man who has engaged in the business. The task is unthankful and the personal loss is staggering. No married man should be permitted to operate a publishing plant or run a newspaper. It is cruelly visited upon his wife and children. As to him, it does not matter much. A man who can make a financial success of a publishing plant is hampered and worried to death by persons who know least about it. The denomination should decide just how much money it is willing to throw away for advertising and appropriate this amount and give it to the publishing department, with the hope that the poor individual who operates it may own it, sell it, in fact, do anything with it so long as he does not pile up bills against the denomination which gives a specified support. Dr. R. R. Wriggly now has the opportunity of his life. We hope that he may succeed, although we prophesy for him failure, unless the church comes forward, as assumes the present indeliciousness, pays the same, and gives him a clear field to go forward or get out, just as Dr. J. I. Lovw has done. The Richmond, (Val) Evening Journal of the second instant, contained the following interesting bit of information: Haircuts will be higher after September 15, according to a plan which the barbers of the city are perfecting. This plan is applicable to citizens who resort to shaving themselves, but where a customer gets his shaving and haircut at one shop he will enjoy the distinction of having the old rate 25 cents for a haircut Barbers are saving that with the general use of safety razors they are forced to take steps to protect themselves. White barbers have been making inroads on the business which was once confined to a class of colored men who kept establishments for the exclusive use of the white trade Fifteen or twenty years ago the agent of white barbers into this section began, and by degrees they have managed to get almost centre control of the businesses. Another move is to have a uniform hour for closing their shops - 7 o'clock in the evening, except Saturdays, when 16 o'clock is to be the closing hour. Ever since the close of the war, until more than a dozen years ago, the colored barbers of the Southland had the exclusive right to "operate" upon the faces of the white and colored folks. They charged twenty-five cents for a haircut and ten cents for a shave. The "tips" were, of course, extra, and guaranteed all kinds of special favors, pleasant to both the feelings and taste. Then came the white barbers. At first, the better class of white men would not have them. Many a white man would go half a mile to get his favorite colored barber, or sit patiently an half hour to wait until some other customer had been served. The southerner did not want a white man to shave him. He regarded this as mental employment, "fit only for Negroes," and he saw to it that the Negroes got this part of the business. Many colored barbers did not see the "storm-rising." They became careless. The white, barbers had in their windows signs which read, "Haircut, 15c." Times became hard and one by one, white men yielded to this seductive inducement and put up with the rough treatment that they received at the hands of beginners, who, in most cases, were from the barber colleges in the North.. In the meantime, many of the colored shops continued business and took chances. They held the trade of the better class of white Virginia. MILEN C. DEMBRAE, CORNELIUS SCOTT, W. C. SCOTT, JOHN S. POWELL continued to "make good" with many others, and they have made no complaint. JAMPA M. FANLEY, too, is still in business, and EWARD CLAY and his associates continue to operate the shop of WALTER S. PETTON. These men have not raised the rates, but it is the different course better than has not only raised the rate, but who is more than doubling it. The colored man is likely to come into his own again. His rates are the same. If he will show wisdom, conditions will change and the "bitter will be bitten." We have read the announcement of the predicament of the white barbors with much amusement and satisfaction. White men who patronized them found the safety razor a comfort. They will not swap this for anything but the womanly attention of the colored barber, who knows a southern white man "from the ground up," and who is able to give him the satisfaction for which his face craves. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? --- The New York Age states that MRS. LELIA WALTERS, wife of BRISTON ALEXANDER WALTERS has been appointed clerk in the office of the Commissioner of Immigration at Ellis Island at a salary of one hundred dollars per month. In naming MRS. WALTERS for the place, PRESIDENT WILSON is said to have issued an executive order, emphasizing the fact that it was a political appointment and relieving the accomplished wife of the brilliant Bishop, from going through the usual routine prescribed by the Civil Service laws. It has taken the President of the United States nearly four years to accord to this eloquent divine this recognition, which takes from his home the wife of his bosom. We know BINNOR, ALEXANDER WALTERS. We sympathize with him for this latest political move of the President of the nation will necessarily handicap him in the present struggle. We must admit that we cannot understand the distinguished occupant of the White House. He has tendered a personal favor to one of our ablest leaders. What about the rights of the people that he has so ably represented in his demands for the privileges and fundamental rights to which every American citizen is entitled? THREATENED GREAT STRIKE. The railroad strike has been averted. For sheer audacity and complete success, it exceeds any previous achievement of the labor leaders, and in the unprejudiced arena of thought, will win the admiration of the civilized world. The time was well-chosen and the man and the men, who would have the final word to say in the matter, so well estimated at their true worth that success was assured in advance of the ultimatum left at the White House by the uncredited representatives of organized labor. Just in proportion as one side has won the adjudication of the world, the President and the Congress have succeeded in meriting the contempt of the same universal tribunal. Never in the history of this Republic has the national government shown the elements of subservency as was exhibited when the Congress, under the "whip and spur" of political expediency passed a law which is plainly unconstitutional and the President of the United States, virtually under corrosion, signed it on Sunday in order to prevent a threatened strike on Monday morning. It shows conclusively that the elements of true greatness are sadly wanting in the executive and legislative departments of the government at Washington. To speak plainly, every sign of cowardice is in evidence there on the one side and every sign of nerve audacity is to be seen on the other. Men who were presumed to be willing to face death for a principle servile surrender in the face of threatened danger. This disgraceful happening is the logical sequence of ignoring the rights and privileges of the large body of American electorate, which now resides in the Southland. Their fundamental rights have been disregarded and practically every privilege taken away. Now we see the wealthy men of the country being subjected to similar treatment. Colored people's rights and colored people's property have been endangered and sacrificed, and now, fifty years after the Civil War, we witness the interesting spectacle of the pendulum of retribution swinging in the direction of capital and hear the cry of protest from those who looked on in silence when we were subjected to similar treatment. The corporations had the right of way for many years, more than a decade. The labor elements are now "in the saddle" and is appears that they will drive the rod of automatic power deep into the vitals of the financial interests of the country, apparently carolless of the fact that, in their zeal and lust for more power, they may destroy the foundation pillars of commerce and with the creators and managers of the financial interests of the country, be buried in its ruins. We see in all of this the working out of immutable laws. Labor's champions are apparently "drunk with power." It would be well for all of them to stay and consider before It is too late. Certain it is that in the last movement at Washington, which movement has proven to be a success may be seen the first outward sign of the degradations of the representatives of the people and the decay of the foremost Republic of the civilized world. Readers of Roman and Greek history will see in these every day happenings a close similarity to the signs that foretold the early downfall of those powerful empires. DR. WASHINGTON AND HIS LIFE WORK. We have received "The Life and Times of Booker T. Washington," by B. F. RILEY, D. D., LL. D., author of "The White Man's Burden." It contains an introduction by EBRAE Y. MULLINS, D. D., LL. D. In the introductory, DR. MULLINS says: "Another trait in Booker T. Washington's character was his strong desire to unite the best sentiment among the whites and blacks. He appealed to the best element among the Southern, white people and to the best element among the Negroes, and it is remarkable how well he commanded the respect of all. He was thoroughly loyal to the Negro and genuinely tactful in dealing with the white people of both North and South. "He was at home on any platform, North or South. He was never known to fan into intensify Northern prejudice against Southern views, and he was always self-respecting in his attitude towards Southern white people. But he understood the Negro and he understood the whites, and he was unusual in his ability to mediate between the two." The book deals with the antecedent conditions, nativity and early life of Dr. WASHINGTON. It follows him throughout his career to his last moments. In concluding the narrative, the author says: "He was not an old man, and under ordinary conditions, should have been in his prime. He was approaching his fifty-ninth birthday, and to apprehance he seemed to be vigorous, but his strength was fast ebbing out. To him the struggle became one of seeking to persuade himself that he was in as full possession of manly vigor as ever, but his vitality was rapidly oozing away." The story of Dr. WASHINGTON's life as told by this brilliant author will richly repay a perusal. The price is only $1.50, and will prove to be a valuable addition to any one's library. FIRMING H. RAYVIL, Company, Publishers, 158 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. BAD CONDITIONS GROW WORSE The good citizens of this community must recognize the innate manhood and sense of justice in the letter of Mr. WILLIAM H. BAYMUSER, Jr., in condemning the inhuman and brutal treatment of WILLIAM SUTTER, a hardworking colored man, by PORCY ORFICER T. J. MAYNIE. It has been said that "one touch of nature makes the whole world kin," and in this instance, the sense of fair play ever exalted in the average Virginian, has asserted itself. Will the fair-minded members of the police force of this city condone the outrageous conduct of this officer? Will they take the position that the interests of the organization are at stake and, right or wrong, this heartless man shall escape heredited punishment? We shall see. At this time, we are not prepared to express fully our opinion upon this subject. There are charges and counter charges, but it is admitted that this colored man was follo­iously assaulted by a policeman, that blood flowed in rivulets from wounds made on his head and that his wife and daughter were denied the privilege of minlatering to this suffering. It is admitted that he had committed no unlawful act; that he was almost within a stone's throw of his own home; that he was a hard-working man and that he supported his family. People of this kind and character live from hand to mouth. The week's wages tide the family over the next week. We learn that the money of the helpless man is now in the Station House and that his suffering family is denied the use of it. What is the proposal now? He is in the hospital and he is under arrest to be tried in the police court for resisting a police officer, who had no legal right to arrest him. Gentlemen, this kind of, injustice cannot go on forever. This kind of treatment of a defenseless class of citizens cannot longer be tolerated by the thinking people of this community. God will yet raise up friends for us, and more white citizens of the WILLIAM H. BEVENDEK, Jr. type will be induced to face the fury of this class of police-officers and demand fair play and humane treatment for one of the kindiest races of people on the face of the globe.

Va., came to Roanoke and has been ack her for about three months, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Golns Lawson, 314 Tenth avenue, N. W. The husband of Mrs. Deane-paid a visit to his wife last week. Mrs. Deane is very much improved. Mr. John Doan, her husband, of Wingrow, W. Va, will spend sometime with her. The mother of Rev. E. E.

E., while at work at the east end furnace last Friday morning lost his balance in some way while on the tipple and fell and never regained consciousness. He lingered until Sunday morning, at which time he died. He had been in the employ of V. I. C. and C. Company for a number of years. He leaves a wife and six sons to mourn their loss. The funeral services of the remains of Brother Nathan Barksdale, of 220 Ninth avenue, N. W. took place Tuesday evening, at two-thirty o'clock from the First Baptist Church, of which he had been a faithful and loyal member for twenty-three years. As the steel casket rested at the altar, the choir sang, "Nearer My God to Thee, after which the pastor, Rev E. E. Ricks lined hymn No. 629, Rev J. M. Beam of the M. E. Church read the Scriptures, Job 19, Psalm 75. Prayer was offered by Rev James H. Burks of the High Street invoking God's favored blessing upon all those represented. The choir sang, "Asleep in Jesus," after which Rev E. E. Ricks read the obituary, he used as a text, I Samuel, 23rd chapter and latter part of the first verse, "There is but a step between me and death." He urged his audience to take the text seriously to themselves and emulate the life of the deceased and live for the elevation of those we come in touch with, through life, always going about the things that help to make the world better by our life lived for the good of others and as the days go by and we near the open portals God will Charley Chaplin's Comic Capers take care of us and at last give us a place better than any earthly habitation, at home with Jesus, which is best of all, when our task on earth is done. Rey, E. E. Ricks very beautifully pictured the noble Christian life of Brother Nathan Barksdale and admonished his hearers to live noble Christian lives and all is well, wherever and whenever we fall victim to the great monster, death, the Lord takes care of his own. From the writer's personal knowledge, for quite thirty years the character above mentioned was truly a noble citizen and best of all, a Christian gentleman. The community would suffer less trouble if more strong characters like Nathaniel Barksdale lived. He was a believer in accomplishments through toll and as such he died at his post. After Rev. Ricks had concluded the sermon, Rev. James H. Burks gave a very timely talk and one thing, among the number of things he said was that he admonished the sons not to forget their mother. Rev. J. J. Jefferson offered the closing prayer of the service, at which time Mrs. Lucy Stratton, the sweet songstress of the First Baptist Church, sang that very beautiful selection, "On That Happy Golden Shore," while Mr. W. F. Hughes, the efficient and polite undertaker conveyed the remains to the hearse in a beautiful steel casket.

E. B. WEBSTER. Talks on Banking When it is considered that in some states such as Massachusetts, one out of every two and a half people have savings bank accounts, and in New York with its great population, one out of three, the intimacy with which the savings bank touches the individual will become manifest. In fact no other institution except the home, the church or the school comes into such close contact with humanity as does the savings bank. And because it touches the lives of so many people so vitally, the whole body politic is interested in the savings bank and what it does. Financially speaking no other institution has such a marked effect for good to the individual and the community, as does the bank that takes your money. Every time you cross a well paved street, take a walk in the park, send your children to school, turn in an alarm of fire, draw some water, look with pride upon your public buildings, enter a well kept home, you pay tribute to the institution that made these things possible, and that institution is the savings bank. While the bank of discount is an inexpensive part of business life, and we could not do business without it, the number of patrons of the banks of discount is insignificant in comparison with the depositors of the savings banks of the country, now numbering over ten million It is well to know something about this feature of banking, for a savings bank is more than "a place to put money". It is a great cooperative investment institution, and inasmuch as this is the Centennial Year of the savings bank and the event, will be properly celebrated by the American Bankers Association at its annual meeting at Kansas City in September. It is proposed to outline as briefly as possible in the next three or four talks on banking in the present series, the fundamental features of the savings bank. Like a great many other institutions that have made for human good, the savings bank is a development, and the origin of the idea is in doubt. Daniel Doffe of "Robinson Crouse" fame is mentioned as the original savings bank man, who conceived a scheme for the receipt of deposits on the part of the Government. Nothing came of it Prisellin Wakefield and Joseph Smith in England also had schemes for the receipt on the part of the well to do, of small savings and the repaying of the same at Christmas time with a bounty, contributed by the wealthy managers; but these endeavors worked on the theory that the poor should be encouraged to save for the sake of the reward offered, and were supported by the donations of the rich, which is far from the savings bank idea. The first man to grasp the fact that the earning power of the money left in the care of the managers should support the institution, was the Rev. Henry Duncan, a Scotch proacher, who in the village of Ruth well, Scotland opened his savings bank—the first true savings bank, in 1810, along the lines still in vogue today. This was the first savings bank; that had in it the essential elements of success. Impressed with the improvidence of the people of his parish, he resolved to found an institution to receive their small savings, invest them for the benefit of the depositor and after paying the expenses of management, return the balance to the depositors as interest. This plan proved so sensible and so helpful that savings banks sprang up all over England and Scotland and shortly the idea created the Atlantic, resulting in the savings bank movement in this country, which closely followed the lines laid down by Duncan's bank, a brief sketch of which will appear in the next banking talk. Richard C. Kerena Is Dead. Richard C. Keren is Dead. Richard C. Keren, former United States ambassador to Austro-Hungary during President Taft's administration, prominent Republican party leader in Missouri for many years and a pioneer stage route and railroad developer of the west, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. Hamilton Colket, at Miorion, near Philadelphia. He had been seriously ill there with intestinal trouble during the past week, and, while his condition was unchanged, it took a sudden change for the worst a short time before his death. Panama Canal Again Blocked The Panama canal commission received a dispatch from Major General Goethals, governor of the canal zone, reporting a slide at Cigaracha, just south of Gold Hill. About two hundred feet of the channel are blocked. No vessels have gone through since Wednesday. Goethals expects to clear away the slide in two days. Artillery Ordered Home. Twenty-eight companies of coast artillery, approximately 6000 men, now on border duty as provisional infantry units attached to the mobile army, were ordered back to their posts in eastern and western departments. More than 10,000 additional national guardsmen, ordered to the border, will take the places of the troops. House Pauses Deficiency Bill The house of representatives passed the general deficiency bill, carryin' in appropriations amounting to $14,000,000, including approximately $3,000,000 for purchase of Nicaraguan cana' rights. The measure now goes to the senate. British August Loss 127,945.

(Residence next door) It Was Indeed a Sad Occasion French Hold Big Gains and Repulse Teuton Counter Attacks After Tremendous Offensive. British troops in battles in the region of the river Sommo in Franco increased their gains in the neighborhood of Guillemont, says the British official statement. The British forces pushed forward to 1500 yards east of Guillemont village and won a hold on Leuze wood. Further south, a strong German system of defence on a front of 3000 feet around Fallemont farm, was captured, after hard fighting. (Leuze wood is on the Guillemont-Combes road, half a mile northwest of Combes.) The official announcement says the fighting on the Somme since September 31 was resulted in the capture by the Prison of the whole of the remaining German ground line of defences on the battle front from Mouquet farm to the point where the British line joins the French. At the centre of the attacks were made by the German right of the Somme in an effort to be ground taken in the new area of the French. The Paris war office announces that the Germans were repulsed with heavy losses. The German rights were delivered between Comble and Forst. South of the river Seine and German blows were struck out of Italy, in these operations the French took on hundred prisoners. The London war office sent to their enemies cautiously to be aware and the men who were there the most exposed in this region, while we blow at the enemy when in cooperation they penetrate the enemy over a six and one mile trench north of the Somme. French troops delivered another terrible stroke south of the river and achieved remarkable successes. The attack was made on a front of twenty kilometers (twelve and one half miles) from Harleux to Chaundes, and, according to the bulletin of the French war office, all the objectives of General Bouch were carried. Twenty even hundred prisoners were captured in this region, while north of the Sinai. The total number of prisoners taken in two days' fighting has reached 2500. The capture of Soyecourt and Chilly makes a total of twenty-nine villages taken since the start of the offensive on the Somme front. The positions wrested from the Germans were powerfully organized. At Barloux, one of the strongest positions on this front, repeated direct attacks were unsuccessful and the French finally resorted to a turning movement, attacking to, the southwest. The Germans counter attacked no less than six times in a desperate effort to regain lost ground. RUSSIANS D C T SULGARS Czar's Forces Meet New Enemy on Rumanian Soil. The first clash between Russian and Bulgarian troops on Rumanian soil occurred when a Bulgarian outpost was annihilated and an officer captured according to the Petrograd war office. The Bulgarian war office in a statement dated Sunday, says: "On our northern front our armies on Saturday crossed the centre Drebunda frontier, energetically driving back advanced detachments of the enemy. We occupied Kurtburnar after fighting in which we took prisoner 165 men and two officers. The enemy retreated, leaving on the field hundreds of dead as well as a great number of rifles and a quantity of material. One of our columns occupied Akda-dunan. The march forward is proceeding on the whole line." RUSSIANS TAKE 4528 MORE Report on Recent Successes on the Upper Sereth.

The New York Press World has been offering a series of Ask prizes for the most successful plan of saving as applied to the management of a household where the income does not exceed $750 a month. A large number of plans were submitted by persons in all walks of life, a reading of which leads to the conclusion that there are a lot of level-headed people getting somewhere by good management and reliable plans of living. A perusal of these answers would seem to justify the following conclusions: First, that the only method of saving that praises practical and permanent is the adoption of a well defined plan. This means a scheme of living that provides for the various expenses incidental to rearing a family, such as rent, food and light clothing, recreation education etc. No one pays anywhere in particular by a "hit and miss" method of life. This is the reason so many people are living next door to poverty all the time. Any place of life to be successful must include the determination to save and if possible a definite amount as a minimum. The determination without a plan accomplishes but little. Second, that the wife is the saving element of the household. As a rule the most earns the money and the wife spends it. To her is entrusted the buying of the supplies the care of the children their clothes and spending money. Even though the husband pays the bills, his wife contracts them. She has time to shop and he has not. Third that the most workable plan is as follows. Apportion the income. There are certain fixed charges in every home such as rent, clothing and food. It is well settled that the rent should not exceed one quarter of the income a week's wave for a month's rent. If it is larger, it is out of proportion and extravagant. You cannot live on Fifth Avenue with a Third Avenue income. The greatest extravagances are possible in the time of food, and here the wife can do her best work. The cost of clothing can be fairly well estimated from experience. Educational expenses can be figured with safety and recreation can be kept with bounds. The doctor and lawyer will be an essential part of these needs. General advice should be made to the family and the savings should be made to the family and the savings should be made to many people. The man will be able to move to many places. They gave me a report of plan for the little house and one elm house and a light good jute house and a staircase to keep and break and being firm with one but not parimonious.

(From New York Sun) The Florence Crittenden Home, at 427 West Twenty-first street, whither several girls figuring in the white slave inquiry have been sent by the District Attorney, had a fire a week ago today, the cause of which was set down as "unknown". Since then investigators have found reason to believe that the names were started by a young man pictured as a member of a ring trafficking in women on the lower East Side, and I detectives are now searching for him. His object is supposed to have been to terrorize the girls in the home and to scare them into refusal to tell about the operations of the men who preyed on them. The fire was trifling, but it caused twenty-five girls to run into the street and stay there until firemen put it out. It has been learned that the young manager against whom su pielon is directed was hanging about the front door before the alarm was given. He is or was a friend of one of the girls who has testified before the Grand Jury. ALL GIRLS NOW ESCORTED. All the women and girls who gb to the office of the District Attorney are now being accompanied to their homes or the missions that shelter them by detective. This is for protection against men who have threatened them. Three more alleged white slayers were indicted yesterday, but as they have not been arrested yet their names cannot be published. One of them, a for dealer, was known as a "respectable business man." A second indictment was also returned against David Parrish, known as Siberia, who is in the Tonga. Since the investigation began there have been thirty indictments involving twenty men Parrish was named by a Grand Jury witness yesterday as a man who had put her in the way of evil when she was 16 years old. She is now 19 a yellow haired, blue eyed girl whose comeliness has not been de- stroyed. She said she was standing on the stoop of her home in the East Side one evening watching the return of a party of excursionists who had been on a boat ride. They were eating randy and frolicking. A middle aged man who she says she knew later as, Sherita, stopped and said to her, "Don't you ever go on these particles?" She replied that her par- ents were too poor. SLAVED FOR YEAR AND A HALF Siberna, she says talked to her "like a father" and said he would see that she had as good a time as the other girls. The next day he in- vited her to his room. Presently the fatherly work was thrown off. He put her into a house in Allen street where he said she could make a lot of money. After two days of this life she rebelled and Siberna took her to the theatre provided her with a place to rest and then sent her back After a year and a half, during which time she saw Siberna took her earnings she was turned over to other proprietors. One of them was a pickpocket now carving six months on Blackwolf's Island for selling heroin. The girl said she learned to use the drug and that her owner made money by selling it to other girls. Eventually she fell into the hands of a camber who formed her to work the street. This camber is one of the men collected yesterday. SEEKS DADGHTER IN SLAVERY One of the mothers of a court out acquired in lieu of Attorney Smith today at Mesa. Mrs Silverstein of Suffolk court. She brought a picture of her daughter.

One of these men the same as Vince Powell who would have to present his Mr. Silberman and Mrs. Silberman bought me $450 and she had been paid. The man also earned $5 more and the people were in California. But the boy I saw of her was in New York. I vowed she would be more than 16 and her own house and would not come home. I have been her office since she took the hands of a man who she bought "when for interruption." This case became an investigation into the District. My lawyer demanded our attorney before going to the Grand Jury. ANOTHER MOTHER'S STORY A woman with a somewhat similar story was Mr. Kathrina Boland of Oysterford and wife Brooklyn. She said her daughter, 47 years old, was cared off about a year ago by a man who the two addressed the mother away to Mr. Smith. "You couldn't bear" Mrs. Boland said, "that my daughter was still in the city. I came here from Iowa and have tried to live a life of independence, but when she made my daughter head with her wife in the city she left." She said of three other places she had a appearance she landed in. She said to Mr. Smith's office was Tadee Diamond, who said she was a militant. She complained of a man who she said put her into orderly house to earn money for him. "He said we would be married when I had saved enough" he said. "When I had saved $200 he took the money and went into business. He was married last March, and then he had the nerve to come around to me with a scheme for robbing men. He said he had discovered a drug' which he would put in cigars. I was to give the cigars to men and go, through their pockets' when the drug knocked them out. Then I was to throw the money out of the window and he was to be down below to catch it. I refused. FAID HIM $700 A MONTH. "I had worked for this man two years. He took me from a military store where I was getting $10 a week and under promise of marriage I made $300 a month for him." This man is the fur merchant indicted yesterday. A process server told Mr. Smith yesterday that in Allen street between Stanton and Rivington streets he was approached by five girls in the course of a few minutes on Monday night. He said he served subordinates on two girls while they were chatting with the plain clothes policemen. The Department of Immigration has arranged to co-operate with the District Attorney and the police in trying to stop white slavery. If they are not citizens, and few of them are, any person convicted can be deported. Mr. Smith questioned yesterday a physician who was supposed to know whether or not there is a ring of physicians who perform illegal operations. THE RICHMOND-PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA What Mr. Smith found out was not divulged. The committee of twelve social workers which has been formed to help the District Attorney in his crucade will visit him at 3 o'clock this afternoon. It is headed by Mrs. William Grant Brown. Governor Authorized Troops If Necessary. Columbus, Ohio, August 30.—Governor Willis to night authorized Adjutant-General Hough to arrange for transportation to Lima of companies of the First Regiment of Cincinnati, and the Seventh Regiment of Marietta National Guard, now stationed at Camp Perry, in case they are required. DEUTSCHLAND SAFE IN PORT Kalser Congratulates Crew and Owners. WAS DAMAGED, LONDON HEARS Bremen a Week Out; Held Back Until Owners Received Word of Safe Progress of Sister Boat. The merchant as marine Deutschland arrived at the mouth of the Weser, according to the Berlin Overseas News agency. The agency says that the Deutschland land arrived in the afternoon and anchored before the mouth of the river. All on board are well. The Vossische Zeitung publishes an interview with Captain Paul Koenig, who expresses appreciation of the attitude of the United States government in taking every necessary measure to prevent violation of neutrality in connection with the departure of the submarine. According to a Berlin despatch to Amsterdam Emperor William has sent the following telegram to the owners of the Deutschland. "With sincere pleasure I have just received news of the safe return of the submarine Liner Deutschland. I heartily congratulate the owners and builders of the vessels and the brave teammen under Koenigs command." The message also expresses the intention of the emperor to bestow decorations on members of the Deutschland's crew. An Exchange Telegraph despatch from The Hague says that the Deutschland arrived in a slightly damaged condition. The departure for America a week ago of the merchant submarine Bremen is reported in a despatch from Bremen, forwarded from The Hague. It is said the owners of the Deutschland and the Bremen received word seven days ago of the progress being made by the Deutschland on her return voyage and that it was not until they had obtained this information that they permitted the Bremen to depart. A Copenhagen despatch, however, reports the Bremen as well on its way over, saying that Alfred Lohmann, head of the Ocean Navigation company, which owns the Bremen, assures he has received a message from the submarine and that it will arrive in a few days. The Deutschland took the same route on both her voyages, the despatch says, returning to Germany by the North Sea. A telegram received at Amsterdam from Bremen, as forwarded by Reuters correspondent, states that the Deutschland traveled 4290 miles on her homeward voyage. At the beginning the sea was tempestuous, but later it became more calm. The Deutschland proved to be able to navigate the stormy seas excellently. Her engines worked faithlessly. No icebergs were passed on the journey. Fighting Paralysis The new cases of infantile paralysis reported in Philadelphia numbered twelve and the deaths five. This brings the total to 113 deaths and 398 new cases. A new development in the fight on the disease was the announcement by Assistant Director Harry Davis, of the department of public safety, that 400 extra policewomen would be sworn in on Monday solely for quarantine duty at houses in which cases of paralysis have been discovered. There came from the Hospital for Contagious Diseases, a pathetic little group of fourteen children, most of them less than two years old, who have been saved from death only to be left paralyzed in different parts of their bodies. Some of them will be hopeless cripples for life. Seven of these children were taken home by their parents. Seven others, whose parents are too poor to bear the cost of the long after-treatment which will be given in an effort to make them strong and healthy, were taken to a convalescent hospital. Billy Sunday Hits Clergy. Fashionable clergymen of New York and other prominent religious leaders are banding themselves together in an organized effort to oppose evangelism, according to a direct charge made by Billy Sunday in the auditorium at Ocean Grove, N. J. Billy, his usual lil figure stiffened with wrath, and his voice rising to renaissance heights in the shire of his indification, pledged himself to fight the organisation with all the vigor of his militant spirit.

Spaulding and his council at Concord, N. H., were engaged in considering means of repairing the loss. Through Rev. Guy Roberts, of Whitefield, the governor's attention was called to the fact that winter storms had moved the stone which forms the forehead of the "Great Stone Face," the name by which the rock was immortalised by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The great stone, which is in danger of toppling over, would carry with it the rock masses forming the nose and chin. A return of the forehead stone is its original position, and the construction of a buckle arrangement to bind it firmly to the head, is proposed.

Morrison's wealth was estimated at from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000. His affairs were brought before Judge Lands as he was deemed bankrupt because he either lost or given away to intimate friends more than $2,000,000 of his estate. Morrison denied Burstin's charges. The will of Morrison's father contained a provision that if his son died childless, the entire estate should go to the city for the location and maintenance of a high school. Hallstorms Play Hayoc.

AUTHORITY ON SOUND SOCIAL LAW CITES 11 GLARING CASES Organized Labor Resents This Deception and Running True to Form Will In November as at Many, Previous Elections Indignantly Smite Those Who Without Justice Lay Claim to Its Gratitude—Even the Much Touted Federal Reserve Law Is Based Entirely on the Statistical Research of a Republican Administration. That "No class is more instant than labor to condemn and punish those who without foundation lay claim to its gratitude" is the assertion of John Williams, ex-commissioner of labor, apoposes of certain false claims set forth by Vance McCormick, Democratic national chairman, in behalf of his party. Chairman McCormick caused to be published in the New York Times, on July 11, an appeal for Progressive and Labor support, based on "twenty measures enacted by congress while President Wilson has been in the White House," and for which he claims credit for the Wilson administration and asks Progressive approbation. Commenting on this statement, the former commissioner of labor says: "Students and promoters of sound social legislation will do well to examine this list, for it contains a number of items of unusual interest." "We may well believe that it was with a great deal of pride that Mr. McCormick contemplated the record of his party and that he drew a vivid mental picture of Progressive flocking to the support of Mr. Wilson because of the things claimed on behalf of this administration. "It is a pity that in the interest of truth, which knows neither Democrat Progressive nor Republican, we must mar this remarkable statement. Nevertheless it is our duty to call attention to the fact that in his effort to induce support for Mr. Wilson the chairman of the Democratic national committee has fallen into a glaring error. We have no desire to disparage the achievements of the Wilson administration, but we must enter emphatic protest against any attempt to pad the record. "Mr. McCormick claims twenty measures enacted by congress while President Wilson has been in the White House." This claim we dispute. More than one half are measures enacted under a Republican administration and were approved by ex-President Taft, and for others the Democratic administration deserves no credit. "Lest any one think that this is a groundless assertion, we herewith furnish the record, which can easily be verified: "From among the twenty pieces of legislation cited by Chairman McCormick I select the following: "(1) Eight hour law on government work. In effect March 1, 1913. Signed by Mr. Taft. "(2) Eight hour provision for postoffice clerks. In effect generally Aug. 24, 1912. "(3) Eight hour provision applicable to the manufacture of ordnance for the government. In effect Jan. 1, 1913. Signed by Mr. Taft. "(4) Children's bureau. In effect April 0, 1912. Signed by Mr. Taft." "(6) Industrial commission law to investigate industrial relations. In effect Aug. 23, 1912. Signed by Mr. Taft. "(7) The phosphorus match law. Enacted in 1912, effective as to the importation of white phosphorous matches July 1, 1913, and as to the manufacture of such matches July 1, 1913. Signed by Mr. Taft. "(8) The department of labor law creating a department with a secretary who shall be a member of the president's cabinet. In effect March 4, 1913. Signed by Mr. Taft. "(9) The parcel post law. In effect Jan. 1, 1913. Signed by Mr. Taft. (10) The federal reserve law, which while passed during this administration, is based entirely on the vast work of investigation and compilation done by the monetary commission during the Taft administration and closely follows, except in certain details, the legislation recommended by that commission. (11) The eight hour law for the District of Columbia, was fathered and put through by a Republican, Senator La Follette. "The anti-trust law antedates the Cleveland administration, although President Cleveland never enforced it. From time to time, as with all great legislative acts, it has been necessary to amend or add to it, and the anti-trust law of the Wilson administration DO NOT HAVE MONEY THE PEOPLE ARE THRIVING IN THE WAR "WELL, I RECKON HE WILL FIND OUT NEXT NOVEMBER!" Female|Embalmer was merely such an amendment, a logical development of the original act. "(11) The Commerce Court was actually published during the Taft Administration, although it has not been demonstrated that its abolition was a wise step. "Any statement hereafter emanating from Mr. McCormick will be subjected to the closest scrutiny. The errors in his first effort are inexusable and can only arouse resentment among labor men and social workers. No class is more instant than labor to condemn and punish those who without foundation lay claim to its gratitude. "Will Mr. McCormick explain his paddling of the Record?" (Signature) JOHN WILLIAMS, Ex-Commissioner of Labor, New York State. AN UNBIASED VIEW. Comment In Washington Shows Hughes' Speeches Have Concrete Effect. From Washington correspondence New York Evening Post: It is idle even for the Democrats to claim that Mr. Hughes' speeches have not been effective. Whether or not they have seemed so to the voters in the west and northwest is something very difficult to judge at this distance, but it is not to be denied that right here in Washington Mr. Hughes' utterances have had a very concrete effect. It is an ill wind that blows no good. The rumpus that Mr. Hughes has stirred up about civil service reform has really got under the skin of the administration. It is something which the president and his political advisers carelessly ignored. So it is with a portion of Mr. Hughes' criticism of the Mexican policy. When he argues that the paramount duty of the United States is to protect its citizens abroad in their lives and property he is standing on unimpeachable ground. And the administration knows it. The effect certainly of Mr. Hughes' remarks will be to stiffen the hand of the administration in dealing with a question of protection for Americans abroad. HUGHES: LABOR RECORD. When Mr. Gompers, remembering only that he is a Democrat and forgetting that he is a leader of organized labor, ventured to assert that Mr. Hughes is unfriendly to labor because he concurred in the unanimous decision in the Danbury hatters' case, he ventured on very thin ice. The Chicago Tribune promptly reminds him that an honest judge must apply the law as he thinks it, not as he thinks it ought to be, and asks him to tell those who look to him for political advice something about the record of Mr. Hughes. MADAME LUCIE CHRISTIAN SCOTT is associated in business with her husband, Mr. Alpheus Scott. Madame Scott claims the honor of being the only Negro woman in the State of Virginia—holding a State license to practice Embalming, and is indeed, one of the few women in the United States embalming and conducting funerals. She ranks with the best in her profession. She is prominent in fraternal organizations, namely, Courts of Calanthe, I. O. of St. Luke, I. O. of Good Samaritans, Household of Ruth, Tents, Sons and Daughters of Richmond, Shepherds of Bethlehem and Ideal Benefit Society. Your patronage and influence will be greatly appreciated. Please remember that she is always at your service. Redible service at Moderate Rates. As governor. Read what the Legislative Labor News, the official organ of the New York Federation of Labor, said editorially when Mr. Hughes left the governor's chair at Albany for his place on the supreme court. Here it is: "Now that Governor Hughes has retired from politics and ascended to a place on the highest judicial tribunal in the world, the fact can be acknowledged without hurting anybody's political corn that he was the greatest friend of labor laws that ever occupied the governor's chair at Albany. During his two terms he has signed fifty-six labor laws, including among them the best labor laws ever enacted in this or any state. "He also urged the enactment of labor laws in his messages to the legislature, even going so far as to place the demand for a labor law in one of his messages to an extra session of the legislature. "Only 162 labor laws have been enacted in this state since its erection in 1777—in 138 years. One-third of these exceeding inequality all of the others have been enacted and signed during Governor Hughes' term of three years and nine months." Let organizational labor take to heart what the Chicago Tribune says on this point: "Mr. Hughes is no demagogue and no vile lawyer. He is a man of courage and conscience, and if labor cannot contend its cause to his rock bottom Americanism there is something wrong with its cause."—Boston Herald THE GREATEST OF READJUSTERS [From the New York Evening Post.] We do not see why there should have been any stir in the senate over the discovery that President Wilson has completely reversed himself in the matter of the proposed child labor law. Senator Borah was able to show that Mr. Wilson described this legislation in his "Constitutional Government" as unconstitutional and "obviously absurd extravagance," carrying the congressional power to regulate communes beyond the "utmost boundaries of reasonable and honest inference," and making it possible, if sustained, for congress to legislate over "every particular of the industrial organization and action of the country." That, we must confess, has also been the Evening Post's view. But the Evening Post and Senator Borah are old fogles, dating back to the time when it was the custom to have fixed beliefs and, principally, stick to them. 1 The senator has evidently not read Mr. Wilson's letter in explaining his change of front on the turf councils—that it is only a narrow man whose mind is stupidly closed to new ideas, who does not alter his opinions. By this test Mr. Wilson is obviously one of the breacher insulted men the country has ever produced. For he by-changed his vital to date to the initiative, reference to recall women as [The image is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.] The provided image is extremely blurry and illegible, making it impossible to transcribe any text accurately.

The fact that the Democratic campaign managers have booked Secretary Daniels for a speech in Maine seems to indicate that they have abandoned all hope of carrying the state and simply don't care what happens to the ticket in the September election. Senator J. Ham Lewis, a spokesman for the administration, in attempting to apologize for the president's molly coddle expression that we are "prop to fight," explains that it is an old Latin quotation. But the people already know that it is out of date and the expression of a decadent nation. "We don't want to maintain a political almshouse," remarked Mr. Hughes to the North Dakota farmers, and a nation applauds him. Americans are beginning to see a possibility in the near future of regaining their self respect. This administration seems to have sold everything it could, from the nation's honor down to the smallest rural postmastership. Secretary Daniels says this is not time for politics. And it's no time for Secretary Daniels either. Senator Lewis, defending the president on his "too proud to fight" expression intimates that it was due solely to the ignorance of his audience that the popular interpretation that has been put upon it was evolved, and that anyway it didn't mean what it appeared to mean. The latter statement can be taken with some degree of confidence, as it is quite a well-known fact that most of the things the president says do not mean what they are supposed to mean. Secretary Hedfield has presented another of those living illustrations of the old adage that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread," with one important modification. The difference in the Secretary's case is that he walked right in and turned around and was kicked right out again. The Democratic contingent in the Senate is all worked up over the fact that the terms of the treaty for the purchase, of the Danish West Indies "finished out," "Pillilec publicity," you understand, has been contended to the heap heap with a large assortment of various other Democratic policies and measures. How To Get One. Richmond, Virginia Mr. Wilson has made no reply to the charges of Mr. Hughes. Is he still too proud to fight? By the way his opponents are abusing him, it is evident that Mr. Hughes has touched them on the raw. No apology which the Wilson administration can make for its futile and irritating Mexican policy will satisfy the American people. It has lacked comprehensively the two characteristics which Hughes promises—a friendly spirit and a firm hand. Pitless publicity, says Mr. Hughes; have a heart, say the Democrata. Of Mr. Wilson it may be said he meant well, but he now finds himself buried under the evidence of inefficiency that Mr. Hughes has brought forth. There are those who assert that Woodrow Wilson is a clever politician. But how do they account for his remark to a committee of women, calling upon him, to the effect that if they made slanderse "the paramount issue of this campaign," he would "lose all respect for them?" The women of the enfranchised States assert that this threat will cost Wilson the presidency. Secretary Daniels, however, has the distinction of being one of the greatest arguments the Republicans have ever had. The salary part of the rural credit system has already begun. Mr. Bryan thinks Mr. Hughes un fitted for the bench because of the prejudiced frame of mind evinced by his speeches. Wake up, Bill, he ain't running for no judgship. Mr. Wilson underestimated the suffragists; but it appears they have him sized up properly. - It fares the land where public office is bought and the people afoe sold. The high fragmentation of those Hughes bombs is causing consternation in the Wilson trenches. Bainbridge Colby is almost as violent in his criticism of Mr. Hughes as he was in condemnation of Mr. Wilson's position on Panama tolls two years ago. Of course President Wilson has a perfect right to change his mind as often as he pleases, but that is quite different from repudiating distinct promises made to get votes. If the pledges on which he rode into the White House have proved worthless because he changed his mind, what faith is to be put in the pledges he is now making in his appeal for re-election? WAR The latest additions from Teutonic sources declare that the Rus slaves are being held up by the Austro-German resistance, not only in the Carpathian fighting, but along the entire front to the north in Gothia and Volhynia. Petrograd reports the repulse of an attempted offensive south of Brody. On the western front along the Somme, the British continue closing in on Televal, on their left flank, and apparently have Guillement, on their right, almost within their grip. South of the Somme the French are now being forced to fight hard for retention of the troops captured in the vicinity of Estros. THURSDAY Soda claims to have badly defeated the allied forces in the fighting on the entrance right, in the Strummitza region. The Bulgars are now entrenched, blocking the way to Bulgaria. The Greeks are reported to be fighting the Bulgarians in the Serres region. Petrograd reports the failure of several German attempts to force the Russians from the positions they have gained on the west bank of the Stok hod. On the western front the Germans made determined assaults against both the British and French fronts during the night, but in both cases were repulsed. Against the French the blow fell in the Saycourt wood, south of the Somme. In the attack against the English the assaults reached the British parapets before they were driven back. The British report new progress in the attempt to surround Thiepval. FRIDAY Greek resistance of Bulgarian advance is reported still stubborn, despite the heavy losses inflicted by the invaders. Bulgarian irregulars have plundered and burned the town of Prossink. Potograd reports continued repulse of the new von Hindenburg offensive in the Stokhod region. The Russians have recaptured Mush, Turkish Armenia, and the Ottomans are reported to have evacuated Bitlis. The British report additional progress in their efforts to encircle Thieval, on the Somme front. They have pushed further along on each side of the Longueval-Bapaume road and gained ground in Delville wood. The French, in the same region, have occupied all of the village of Maurepas. Artillery fighting has been extended thirty gilles south, of the Somme. Paris announces the repulse of German night attacks against the French.

PAC2 SEVEN over the Serbia on the Bulgarian right who will be a partner that on the other than the Polish们 have reached the Greek coast. Whilst we are resisting the allied advance in the Summer front in France the Polish们 have damaged a strong army in the Champagne region. Now they are charged French positions and penetrated them but the enemy were driven out. They also attacked the point of St. Mikhail's attack but were captured. French counter attack. Vienna and the Russian attempt to advance in the Carpathians toward the Hungarian border, but Petrović has further gains in this territory have been made. The British naval anglers, Duke of Whitney, has been sent by a torpedo with a loss of twenty-five men. SUNDAY Fighting continues now or less vole- nently on all the battle fronts in the region, but no battle fronts in the chromed belt. France and the rebell- ing north of Sicily have taken in intense aerial and in both military initiatives currently being undertaken at the central power. Paris and then the capital to the pulse of research and development in the Semi- and Western fronts. Soula has received a number of distin- cussively awards by Sir Stuart and diers north of Sicily. P. Sivian losses are rare and have been large. Northern of Sicily the the Gorgians apparently without opposition from the Greeks, have seized a good part of northern eastern Macdonlaia to fifty miles along the Vescon. Italian troops are making progress at several points in the mountain region around Trent. Rome also reports the republic of Australian counterattacks in the Fassa Alps have lessened, but Rome claims continued progress there. MONDAY Rumania has suffered the war on the side of the ousting allies, most of fourteenth nation, to take part in the great conflict. The declaration is reedited against Austria-Hungary, but Germany is exerted to defend war against the Russo-Italian government within twenty four hours. Figures between Tetons and Rumania in the Transylvania border is already reported by Berlin. Dispatches from Athens indl are that popular feeling is stirred deeply by the occupation of Greek territory by Bulgarian forces. Fifty thousand Greeks, in a popular demonstration, were urged by former Premier Venkelos to ask King Constantine to give the present government, which favors neutrality, full political authority. The Bulgarians, claiming consistent gains on the western end of the line in Macedonia, are lengthening the front and pushing into Albania. Russian attempts to cross the Dnieper at two points have failed. Berlin says.
