Molyll present invitations from the governor of the State. Mayor of the city, the colored and white baptist or 41, both a and many other organizations. Dr. Molyll was accounted by a strong committee. The Moody board accepted the invitation traveled that the same invitation be extended to the unincorporated Bethlehem in the same spirit it was extended to the incorporated board. The five brothers from the Jones family hold a meeting and presented their invitation to the Board. Moely to meet their executive board in Alexandria, Louisiana to June; and it he could not be present they would present the invitation in good faith. Our prayer is that the executive board of the Jones convention will accept the St. Louis invitation and thus help clear the way for the baptists to reunite. Let this be the prayer in the churches, at the firesides and in secret devotion. Our preparation has been too painful and costly. It is too costly now. (a) The $150,000 which our white brothel propose to use to begin the Theological Seminary, will not be available, and should not be, until we are reunited for the work of the Kingdom of God. In our present state that money would only add to our confusion and disharmony. (b) But even more than that, Reunion means fellowship with our brothel, and a forgetting of the things benign and a pressing forward to the "mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." If the two conventions meet in St. Louis, Mo. next September there will be a great outpouring of baptists from all over the country; the reunion will be a certainty and a mighty step will have been taken in the advancement of the race and in the interests of the Kingdom of Christ.

RICE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS Since the distribution of the National Baptist Convention in Chicago in 1915 to the present time there have been those who played for Peace and Reunion" and who worked to help bring this most desired end about. In the dig and smoke of contention and strife they have sent this dangerous idea of tion on before the Kaptists. Not only have their members been augmented but the spirit for harmony and organic union has gone forth in the land and is abroad. A JOINT PEACE COMMISSION On March 19, 1938, a joint Peace Commission of twenty-one men, representing the two colored National bodies and the white Southern Baptist Convention met in Memphis, Epin, to confer on terms of peace and return on. This meeting was in response to the prayers, general ceilings and expressions for peace. The agreements this Joint Commission reached have been widely published and have met with universal approval. Almost without exception the colored press has given unmissable endorsement and approval and throughout our Baptist domain motifs of praise, approval and thanks living have gone up to God. DARDS TO RATIFY AGREEMENT These peace agreements provide that with n sixty days the executive boards of the two Conventions shall meet and ratify them. It is also so forth that these two executive boards shall select a city in which both the conventions shall meet separately. When Missouri National bodies ratified the peace agreements, the two bodies will, then meet together forermanagement organization. The executive board of the convention over which Dr. Morris presides was called to meet in Hot Springs, Ark. May 6 and the executive board of the convention over which Dr. Jones presides is called to meet in June, dulexandria, La. MORRIS BOARD MEETS The board of the Morris Convention met in the beautiful Roanoke Baptist Church, Hot Springs, Ark., July 16 with a good representation, board members were present from the surrounding States and from begin, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and w Jersey. The pastor, Rev. J. T. H. A. B. and his congregation made visitors welcome and everything is done for their comfort and satisfaction. Dr. E. P. Jones and four others on his convention were in the city during greetings to the white southern Baptist Convention. The spiritility of the Romoke Baptist church was also extended to them and they held a meeting there. ECHES BEFORE THE WHITE CONVENTION. Rev, E. C. Morris, D. D., Rev, C. Tinker, D. D and Rev, E. P. Jones, D., all made eloquent and rinsed addresses before the Southern White post Convention in the way of exuding greetings and in support of grec education. These addresses which were only ten minutes long I made a favorable impression. AT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS These eloquent addresses preceded report on Negro Education, made Dr. O. l. Haley, of Dallas, Texas, a report which was adopted with a dissenting vote pledges the then White Baptists to a program Negro Education that promises such for the future. The work is be started on a basis of $150,000 is to be increased as necessary hands, and as conditions warrant. RATIFICATION the Morris board ratified the peace elements and the enthusia that owed was shared in by a large number of brethren who were pres- sident. The Rev. Dr. J. P. Robinson, a member of the Jones Convention was ended the courtesies of the meet and made a very significant ad- dress. He expressed a deep desire to the conventions reunited and to tall all the Baptist brethren again earth. The unincorporated brethren also ended greetings to the incorpora- brethren to take part in the berations. This exchange of cour- ses, together with the addresses vered from the same platform to webite convention at the same doce by Dr. Jones and Dr. Walker do much to help along the cause THE ST.

McKenna with an introduction by its Cote manner, Cognot James Colonel Moses, who has provided the first instruction to this article on the skills in army of which he is commanding the officer, is one of the best known in army out in the world. He has written twenty six military books, which he several have been regarded as standard. So as a part of Military Training has been called on the Lakeshoppea Bruttonia of the army. His "offices" Manual, a book in objected and social matters, used by practically every young officer training the Army. His "Principles Manual" was adopted several years also by the United States Marine Corps and a copy is placed in the hands of every permit. O her books of his such as "Non-Commissioned Officers' Manual" "Army Paperwork" "Intensity Drill Regulations Simplified" "Fleet Service" "Root Duty" "Company Training" and "Applied Officer Tactics" are also regarded as standards among all military men. Since his graduation from West Point in 1894 Colonel Moses' service has been distinguished. It includes a record of two campaigns. In addition, he was able to deploy for three years to Lieutenant General Henry C. Corbin, during when time although only a captain in the Regular Army, he end. the rank, pay and allowances of lieutenant colonel. For three years he was instructor at the Army Service College, Bolt Lesvenworth, Kansas, a 1911 and 1913 he was on special duty in the office of the Lieh of St or of the Army. General Lesnar Wood by whom he had been specially selected to reduce and simplify the administra tive work of the Army. Not only is he the father of the present system of Army correspondence but he also gave to the service the new simplified pay and muster rolls and several other labor saving blank forms that have done much to reduce military admini strative work. Ideontenant McKaine, the author of the article rose from the ranks of a colored regiment the 24th Infantry. In response to what he calls the nomadic spirit of hundreds of his migratory ancestors, he started his wanderings from his birthplace in South Carolina when he was sixteen years old then studied in Washington and Boston became a free lance for the colored newspapers and later one of the editors of a colored newspaper he longing to the group that advocated the policy of Booker Washington. Later in response to the conversation of a trooper who he says would have been a marvel as a perishing sergeant or as anide camp to Richard Harding Davis he enlisted in the Army. His service took him to the Philippines. The colored regiment to which he belonged, which by the way received a golden loving cup at a dinner given by the Governor General and the Mayor of the State, was ordered to Columbus New Mexico. In a personal letter Ideontenant McKaine has written: "The Metropolitan Opera company; the Boston Opera Company the Chicago Opera Company; the Hampton Quarter; the Fisk Jubilee Singers you think some of these groups can sing. You're wrong. They can't. You have never heard any singers unless you marched with the 24th across the border after Villa in the spring of 1916." Incidentally it may be said that this regiment was the personal Guard of General Pershing. After a bloodless victory, the soldiers widrew; and the 24th was the only regiment that marcheq out of Mexico without having a man fall out. It was while the 24th was stationed at Columbus after the withdrawal that a number of non-comissioned officers from this and three other colored regiments were selected for training as officers for the National Army. It was thus that Lieutenant McKaine received his shoulder-straps. — The Editors. INTRODUCTION Having been born and reared in the State of Louisiana, whose confines I did not leave unt] I went to West Point at the age of eighteen and have served eighteen years with colored troops including two campaigns, what I say about the colored men as a soldier is therefore based on many years' experience with him in civil life and in the Army - in peace and in war; in garrison and in the field. If properly trained and instructed the colored man makes as good a soldier as the world has ever seen. The history of the Negro in all of our wars including our Indian campaigns shows this. He is by nature of a hap py disposition; he is responsive and tractable; he is very amenable to discipline; he takes pride in his uniform; he has faith and confidence in the harder it is to possess pay and course all of which are valuable in library assets. The sense of rebellion in effect olerbler out of the coloured man lies in knowing the world or his progresses that are military assets and which I have named up then appearing to and developing them - that is, utilizing them in the various extent possible. Make the coloured man to tell that you have faith in him, and then, by sympathies and cohesion us traint and intime on, help him to till himself be well and my way to yield that he should good be better with him on treat him fairly and justly make him realise that if your design is with him he will all ways be seen in a square deal. Combine love with love he does well and punish him when he is extortion - the is to say let him know that he will always be what he is coming to him whether it be reward or whether it be punishment. In other words treat and handle the coloured man as you would any other human being out of whom you would make a good soldier, one of whom you would get the box there is in him and you will have as good a soldier as history has ever known a man who will drill well; shoot well; march well; obey well; tight well. In short a man who will give a good account of him set in battle, and who will con, duer and behave himself properly in camp; in garrison and in other places. I commanded colored troops in the Cuban campaign and in the Philippine campaign and I have had some of them killed and wounded by my very side. At no time did they ever falter at the command to advance nor hesitate at the order to charge. I am glad that I am to command colored soldiers in this my third cam-paign—the greatest war the world has ever known. JAS. A. MOSS. Colonel 367th Infantry. (To be continued.) THEAL SOCIETY NOTES A report made a few days ago at a meeting held in the interest of the National Ideal Benefit Society, Inc. by the President, Mr. A. W. Holmes was full of inspiration. It showed that the Order is indeed doing a great work. At the meeting of the Ritchmond District Council, which met last week the Deputy, Mr. T. L. Beverly reported two more lodges to be organized in Richmond in the next few days.

ANNIVERSARY OF S. S. UNION. The first anniversary of the Richmond District Sunday School Union of the Virginia Baptist Sunday School Convention will be held tomorrow (Sunday) at the Second Baptist Church, South Richmond. An excellent program will be had EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S CAUSTIC CHARGES AGAINST ADMINISTRATION'S UNFAIRNESS IN REALING WITH THE NEWSPAPERS THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS AND THE LIBERTY OF SPEECH NOW DENIED IN THIS COUNTRY—SAYS HEARST PRESS IS EVOKED. Weinton, May 25. Colonel Reeves recounts his attacks on W. John Randall Heard for the allowed proclamation attitude of his nee- sons in a letter to Senator Miller of Washington, answering for a second time and in greater denial the challenge of Poindexter King that the Colonel prove his charisma of discrimination by the Government against loyal publications and in favor of disloyal publications. This letter was presented to the Senate today by Mr. Poindexter. "The Poindexter General has passed the issue," writes the Colonel, who asks that a "permanent record" be made to his answer. "I meet it squarely and he shall not evade it. The Administration has successfully endeavored to prevent expression of opinion hostile to it and to but a premium upon supporting the res-ident personally and politically with out regard to whether his actions are detrimental or beneficial to the country. "CLUB HELD OVER THEM" During the last year the motion of the Administration, then largely through the Post Office Department has been such as to render it a fatter of some damner for any man, and especially any newspaper, to speak the truth, if that truth be unjustified to the governmental authorities at Washington. The effect of this attitude has been very marked politically. Such coercive power tends to make upright men, even although they are strong men, cautions about telling truths which ought to be told. The forces weak men to praise the Administration whether it does well or ill. It invites unscrupulous men who desire to serve Germany to gain demeanice to do so and to vowse. CHARGES DECEPTION OF PUBLIC Mr. Roosevelt makes the flat assertion that "the Administration, through the Publicity Bureau, under the head of Mr. Creel, is conducting a gigantic news propaganda with the public money." He charges that Mr. Creel's activities are exercised nominally on behalf of the country but in reality primarily on behalf of the Administration." "Mr. Creel," adds the Colonel, "announces and publishes himself as the special representative of the President, and is permitted by the President so to announce and publish himself. He assails the publications that truthfully expose the shortcomings of the Administration, and, without regard to the facts, he personally and through his bureau, actively upholds the Administration as regards those matters, such as the aircraft programme, in which there have been grave governmental shortcomings." This is partisan political propaganda of the very worst type, carried on with public money under the guise of public work." Explaining that he "deals with Mr. Burleson and his acts on purely because he is the representative of President Wilson, exactly as is Secretary Baker" and "exactly as is Mr. Creel" Coonel Roosevelt continues: "President Wilson is responsible for everything that Postmaster General Barclay and Secretary General Burleson and Mr. Creed do, or leave undone. Nothing that any one of these gentlemen says, nothing that any one of them does, and nothing that any one of them leaves unseen is of the slightest importance, except because he is President Wilson's representative appointed by President Wilson to a position of high governmental importance in a great crisis and serve as the medium through which President Wilson carries out his police engineering this country. This is, of course equally true of all of President Wilson's other appointments. PRESIDENT ACTS THROUGH THEM "I have scant patience with the timidty or the folly which dares not hold accountable the source of power and only ventures to express displeasure with the instrument through which the power is exercised, Messrs. Hurtleson, Baker, Creel and their associates possess no importance what ever, except that accruing to them because it is through them that the President speaks and acts or refuses or fails to act." Pointing out that the First Article of the Constitution guarantees the right of the people to criticise truthfully the conduct of their public servants," the Colonel says that, unlike the Hohenzollerns, "our Presidents are not the rulers of the American people, but the servants of the American people." He contends; "Our duty is to stand by the country. It is our duty to stand by the President as by every other official just so long as he stands by the country. It is no less our duty to oppose him whenever, and to the extent that, he does not stand by the country. If we fail to oppose him under such conditions we are guilty of moral treason to the country. The President and our other public officials are subject to the laws just like the rest of us. It is an infamy untruthfully to assail our public servants or any one else. But it is our duty to tell the truth about our public servants, whether the truth be pleasant or unpleasant. The higher the public servant and the more important his task, the more careful we should be to speak only the truth TIME 18 FLEETING-KEEP POSTED ELT'S CAUSTIC CHARGES NATION'S UNFAIRNESS THE NEWSPAPERS AND THE LIBERTY OF SPEECH NOW YS BEARST PRESS IS FAVORED. about him; and the more necessary it is that we should tell the tale with about him. CLER HELD OVER THEM "During the last year the section of the Administration, taken largely through the Post Office Department, has seen such as to render it a factor of crime danger for our man, and especially a new paper, to speak the truth, if that truth be unimportant to the governmental authorities at Washington. The effect of this attitude has been very marked politically. "Each executive power tends to make unpatriotic men, even all although they are strong men, cautious about telling truths which ought to be told. It forces weak men to praise the Administration whether it does well or ill. It invites unscrupulous men who desire to serve Germany to gain license to do so and to secure advantages by praising the Administration, especially when it has acted wrongfully or indefinitely and by supporting it politically. "There are cases where all competent and honest observers are more certainly that political support has been given, and is now being given, to the Administration by various newspapers, especially German-American and semi-Socialist newspapers, because of the club thus held over them by the Adminstration." The Colonel then reviews, as he did in his statement to the newspapers on May 11, difficulties encountered by the Metropolitan Magazine, to which he is a contributing editor; Collier's and the New York Tribune, indexed as loyal publications which rightfully criticised the Government. The article in the Metropolitan objected to by the Post Office Department, explained the Colonel, was "by a man who had written articles of exactly the same kind in the New Republic, which, however, is a political supporter of Mr. Wilson and has not been interfered with." CASE OF WATSON AND HEARST "Turning to Hearst, Colonel Roosevelt repeats that Tom Watson's Magazin az ne was "crushed," although he had "done nothing that was anything like as dangerous to this country and to our Allies and as helpful to Germany as Mr. Heurst was at that very time doing." In the catalogue of oppressed papers the Colonel also places the New York News, edited, the Colonel says, "by George W. Harris, a colored man. "The only explanation," asserts Colonel Roosevelt, "that the editors (or the Review) could think of was that the paper had contained a process against an alleged order of a Colonel in the army 'directing colored officers not to enforce upon white interiors a military salute.' Certainly nothing in this humble paper warranted the Administration, through the Post Office Department, in attacking it while at the same time not venturing to interfere with the wealthy Heurst papers." Mr. Burleson is further accused by the Colonel of having supplied an issue of a "raded magazine called the Public" which is "an entirely prowar and Wilson magazine." A former editor of the Public, states the Colonel, said Mr. Burleson probably objected to the publication because of "an interview with him on October 12 last in which he was quoted as stating his lack of sympathy with the proposition that a man ought not to get his money from the ownership of land which was tiled by tenants on the ground that he could." HURTS THE WAR, HE CONTENDS "Each action as that of Mr. Burleson," argues the Colonel, "does not help the war; on the contrary it tends to keep people so angry with the agents of the war that they become and remain hostile to the war itself." The Colonel then declares: "There could be no more striking example of discrimination than that furnished by the contrast between the treatment of a paper like Mr. Watson's and papers like those of Mr. Hearst. There was severity of treatment to the helpless while the strong were given complete immunity. "There is no need to rely upon my statement that the Metropolitan has been a loyal, pro-war, pro American publication. In a letter published by Mr. Creel since Mr. Burleson's statement was published, he states: (To Be Continued.) —Col. Thomas M.

REALITY WHEN OUR BOYS COME HOME FROM FRANCE. Oh! what pain and sorrows gather Round about us day by day. As we think that over yonder Death and demons hold their sway; Think of death, the cruel villain Hid beneath the water's surft, Where our boys are surging forward O'er the midnight sea of dirth. Then a thought comes fleeting o'er us Quick us lightning—at a glance, Cheer up, cheer up! You'll be happy When our boys come home from CHORUS Then we'll wonder how they did it over there. Where the Germans fill the land and sea and air. The truth is that—just get it in your grip That this fellow, Uncle Sam, you cannot whip. You talk about the Sammies hallo-linjah Hun. But when you lick the Sammies, you'll be fighting some. Then our sorrows slowly scatter From our pathway—and we sing As we think of that great general Over there—its Pershing. He is leading, he is watching And he has the suit in hand. Hence will come the greater victory Ever won—from Noam's-hand. Then historians will record. Not as guess work, not by chance— And our hearts will throb in When our boys come home from France. Yes, our pain and sorrow banish. As the daylight, follows night. Can the enemy win this struggle? Can the wrong o'ercome the right? Doth His hand still guide us onward? Is the Father on the throne? Have we sunk beneath His merces, Have we sunk beneath His meredes. And then the glass house men throw it down. Over here, it's 'Thrift Stamp buy'ng, Yonder, it's "Heavy Artillery, Advance." Oh! 'twill fill our hearts with pleasure When our boys come home from France. —J. J. Shepperson, S. Boston, Va. SHAKE-UP IN POLICE FORCE OF RICHMOND Patrolman Harry F. Sweet of the First District, whose activities since prohibition became effective in Virginia have attracted wide attention, yesterday tendered his resignation as a police officer to Chief of Police R. B. Sowell and Mayor George Auslue, after charges had been preferred against him by the District Captain Sherry. The resignation will be acted upon this morning, and there is little doubt of its acceptance in official circles. The matter was widely discussed in police circles last night with the utmost interest. The officer's resignation did not come as a complete surprise, since reports had been circulated for several days that he would take such action. These rumors have been going the rounds in police circles since the officer's treason last Monday and the plaintexts Iqoron found took form, when he was given patrol duty. After his transfer he asked for a five-day turbulence which was granted. His resignation came yesterday. OWNER OF TWO CARS DRIVEN BY JOLLY BROTHERS First District Captain Sherry instituted an inquiry several days ago, and it developed that Patrolman Sweet was the owner of two automobiles, which were being operated on the street as "for hire" cars. The machines are driven by the two Jolly brothers, well known in police circles. Recently the boys were charged with attacking a young man who was a witness in a whiskey case. The results of the inquiry were reported to Captain Sherry, and he called the officer before him. Patrolman Sweet admitted to his superior officer that he was the owner of the two cars and that they had been operated for some time. The machines were purchased, the officer said in reply to a question, with savings of himself, his wife and son. The cars were reported to have cost about $2,200, and a part cash payment was made, notes being given for the balance. Operation of the two ears, which were parked near Ninth and Capitol streets on many occasions, was said to be profitable. Some weeks the machines brought in revenues agreeing that the net profits were divided three ways, the officer declared, his wife and son each receiving one-third. UNDER CHARGE$ WHEN RESIG NATION COMES IN Captain Sherry reported the matter to Chief of Police Sowell and Mayor George Ainslie, and it was then under consideration, although it is reported that no date for a hearing of the charges had been set. Some days ago a complaint was filed with Mayor Ainslie by a citizen over the treatment accorded him by Patrolman Sweet and another member of the "liquor" squad. Without assigning any reason for the change, Chief Sowell last Monday changed the personnel of the so-called "purity" squad, and those officers went back in uniform. This change was frequently made under the regime of the late Major Werner, but this was the first change in the squad to be made by Chief Sowell. Following Sweet's return to the street in uniform, he asked for a turbough of five days, which was granted. The regulations of the Police Department prohibit members of the force engaging in any other profitable line of work so long as they are connected with the department. MANY REPORTS AS TO ALLEGER MISCONDUCT. Many reports have been circulated for several days in police circles over the alleged misconduct of police officers, which reports began some time ago when Ben Jacobs, who was fired $50 and sentenced to jail in the hustings Court several days ago for selling liquor, was said to have made statements reflecting on certain police officers. Jacobs was interviewed by Mayor Alnuslie and Chief Sowell in court sessions, but denied statements eroded in part by two days certain of these reports have been revived, and Chief Sowell has been quietly watching developments. At Police Headquarters yesterday it was announced that Patrolman F. M. Bosquet, of the First District had been fined $20 for insubordination, the charge being preferred against him by Chief Sowell. The officer is said to have refused to divulge certain information to the chief unless it was taken down in writing and witnesses were present. The information is said to have been connected with the Sweet incident. Patrolman Frank E. Waller, who has been working for about one year as an automobile officer, returned to street patrol duty yesterday as a result of a hearing before Chief Sowell and Mayor Ainslie. Waller was charged with taking a woman out riding in his automobile while on duty. He proved that she was a friend of his family, but the officer was returned to street duty because the department's regulations prohibit civilians, male or female, from riding in the department's cars. ACCUSED OF OPENING BAGGAGE WITHOUT WARRANT. Patrolman Sweet has been a member of the Police Department since April 1, 1911. Before that time he was employed in a Broad street saloon and was elected to the force by the Board of Police Commissioners. In recent years he has made a name for himself, having had a number of friends among the more ardent prohibitionists, who supplied him with "tips" which resulted in his making a number of arrests. He has been several times accused of opening personal baggage without a warrant in his search for liquor, a practice which led to peremptory or from the Major Wormer forbidding such illegal actions on the part of policemen. He was a witness in the vice investigation several years ago which resulted in the resignations of several members of the Board of Police Commissioners and later in the abolition of the Police board. In fighting liquor traffickers after prohibition became effective in Virginia, Chief of Police Werner formed "plainclothes" squads, operating from the First and Second District Stations. Patrolman Sweet was one of the first officers selected for this work, and was unusually active, working closely around the downtown passenger station to capture large quantities of whiskey, frequently without making any arrest. Complaints against his methods were filed with Mayor Alinshe on several occasions, and inquiries were conducted. Special attention was directed to the alleged operation of the officers without search warrants, which caused considerable trouble some months ago, and later all patrolmen were required to obtain the proper warrants before taking any action. On another occasion Patrolman Sweet was summoned to headquarters for accosting a young girl on a street car, but no charges against him were filed, and the matter was later dropped. The officer's resignation will be considered this morning at the usual conference of Mayor Ainslie and Chief Sowell. It was stated last night in official circles that the resignation will be accepted.—Richmond Vn. Times-Dispatch, May 18 REV. HILLS TRIP NORTH Rev, D. W. Hill, President of The Clifton Forge Normal and Industrial Institute, just returned from a most successful trip North in the interest of said Institution. While on his trip he had the pleasure of spending four or five days in Boston, Massachusetts, as the guest of his brother, the Rev, J. W. H. M. D., D. D., who is doing a splendid work in his ministerial and medical fields. While there he had the pleasure of meeting and addressing the Ministerial Conference of Boston and vicinity. These brethren seemed to be doing a most excellent work in their respective fields. Rev, M. A. N. Shaw, M. D, D. D., not only has a successful practice, but a large church edifice for the accommodation of his congregation; the Rev, C. A. Ward, pastor of The Ebenzezer Baptist Church, is also doing a splendid work and is one of the foremost pastors in the city and has a big following. While in New York City, Rev. Hill called upon the venerable Rev. W. W. Brown, who seems to be at or about the head of the "Extente Allied" forces of New York City for God and the uplift of Humanity, Rev. P. A. Cullen, another splendid man of God, is doing a good work in his field and for the betterment of the race at large. Dr. Cullen is a trustee of the above named institution, also the Rev. W. R. Lawton, A. M. D. D., who is doing a splendid work likewise in Harlem as pastor in the Presbyterian denomination, best des filling a position as Assistant Secretary in the matrimonial department of the city hall of Brooklyn. Rev. Hill would have seen many more brethren while in the city during his two days' stay, but for want of time, all of whom he understood were concentrating their efforts for the uplift of God's kingdom and the THE RICHMOND PLANET, AICHMONN, VIRGINIA betterment of humanity. He regretted very much the news of the illness of Rev. Dr. Moss, of Concord and the Rev. Chlton Powell of the Abyssean, but for want of time did not have the opportunity of calling in to express his sympathy. While in Atlantic City he had the pleasure of preaching for the Second Baptist Church, of which the Rev. Charles D. Douglas is pastor; the Union Baptist Temple of which the Rev. Dr. J. Meyer P. Gregory is pastor; and the Shiloh Baptist Church of which the late Dr. Henderson was pastor, and which is now pastored by the Scott, formerly of Lynchburg, Virginia, and who within three months after he took charge paid off an old indebtedness of the church amounting to ($3,000) three thousand dollars; Dr. Scott, as acknowledged by some of the pastors, there, has built up the church to such an extent that one can scarcely find standing room at its special and regular Sunday services. The pastors in Atlantic City are doing a most creditable work not- J. REV. D. W. HILL withstanding it is one of the leading pleasure courts for the wealthy and dives for the funnel on the Atlantic coast. Rev. Hill wishes here to emphasize the ability and work displayed by the Headwalters of the largest number of hotels in this city, held for guests and still being held by the young men of the Colored race. Upon his return through Washington he had the pleasure of preaching for the Rev. Dr. W. J. Howard, pastor of the Zion Baptist Church, a large and beautiful edifice, filled with a most cultured and appreciative audience; he also had the pleasure of addressing the Sunday School of said church and the Christian Endeavor Society. Dr. Howard is one of the busiest pastors in the Capitol City, ministering unto not only members of his church, but to any and all who to the Old Folks' too are. His trips to the Old Folks' too are also with cheer, as he takes each a Hulu as as a token of his love and wishes for a hasty recovery from any malady with which they may be possessed. Dr. Howard is likewise a trustee of said institution. In the evening of the same Sunday Rev. Hill preached for the Rev. Dra. A. J. Tyler, pastor of the Mt. Alfry Baptist Church, Washington, D. C. His large and beautiful church edifice was filled with a most appreciative congregation. Though the pastor was in the midst of a revival he set aside his evangelical customs that his dear Rev. Hill, who gave a short sermon out of Washington on the 10:15 train the same evening, Dr. Tyler is a most congenial and philanthropic Christian gentleman and pastor. After returning to the school Rev. Hill paid a short visit to Hot Springs, Virginia, where he had the pleasure of presenting the work of the school to the waiters of the Homestead Hotel, Hot Springs, Virginia, of which Mr. N. F. Berry is headwaiter. He states that Mr. Berry is having a spendid success as Headwaiter at Hot Springs, Virginia, being beloved by his entire force of men, numbering in full seasons over two hundred, in helping help in all departments. Also that he is a friend of his institution and of all enterprises, in to unplift the race; that he should be congratulated for his ability and trust in handling so many thousand people with every degree of satisfaction, as headwaiter of his spendid corps of waiters. He concludes by saying, "Let the churches and such hostelry enterprises do more for God and the race; more for the education of the youth, that ability at the close of the war may supplement ignorance, then the new avenues which will be opened to the race can be filled.

VIRGINIA One day he was present during an exceedingly noisy argument about the armament and man-power of the warring nations and as to the destructive ability of gas and modern explosives. He listened attentively as the talking boys vividly argued and disagreed on the most deadly weapons now in use on the Western front. He was amazed and could hardly realize that such helpless and destructive thing could over be devised by man. Suddenly he interrupted the noisy debaters and asked them if they were sure that such wore true. On being told that it was true, he said, "Well, the SOMEBODY WILL SURE GET IN JURED AFTER AWHILE." ```markdown ``` This interesting photo shows a German U-boat of the latest design holding up the Spanish trans-Atlantic liner Infanta Isabel de Borbon off Cadiz, Spain.

TRE STATE AGRICULTURAL MAY BULLETIN IS OUT Commissioner Kohner, of the State Agricultural Department, is mailing out the May Bulletin to all farmers whose names he can get. This bulletin contains valuable information helpful to the farmers of the State. The Commissioner has always stressed the importance of soil improvement, this being the foundation of all successful farm production. The May bulletin contains an instructive article on this subject; it shows that it is impossible to grow large crops without improving the soil. The farmers' attention is called to the importance of saving crimson clover seed and how it can be done, the value of nitro-culture in growing nitrogen-gathering crops is emphasized, reference is made to the importance of the Agricultural Seed Law in protecting the farmers against the sale of impure and old seed that will not germinate, the lamb and wool markets are discussed, the conservation of fuel in providing wood for fuel next Winter is urged, and County Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance is advocated, etc. This is a valuable bulletin to the farmer who wants to do better farm- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Battery Park, shortly after they disem- They are on the way to the battle front PEAL FOR VOLUNTEERS.

GOAL Active Organizations Will Be Formed For Workers Throughout Virginia. Campaign Will Not End Until December 31. Seven thousand, five hundred War Savings Societies in Virginia before the close of the great thrift drive is the goal fixed by State Director Thomas B McAdams. He does not want societies in name only, but winters organizations whose members meet regularly and are active in behalf of the sale and purchase of War Savings Stamps. Eugene R. Jones has been named as State Director of War Savings Societies and he will devote his entire time to furthering their organization in the Old Dominion. Certificate of membership in a War Savings Society is to those who stay at home equivalent to the enlistment papers of the men in uniform. The great thrift campaign will continue steadily until December 31 and is expected to get Uclep Sam enough money to keep the government running smoothly. While it is only fair that everyone should contribute towards the government's support, the United States Treasury Department, through the medium of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps, is making it an easy and simple matter for all to assume some part of the financial burden imposed by the great battle to crush Persian aristocracy. Everyone has not been able to purchase Liberty Bonds, but there is no one in the country who cannot contribute a Thrift Stamp, and that quite frequently. School children, until this time, have until the most consistent savers of Thrift Stamps, while their parents have been purchasing Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. It is the request of the United States Government that the older people buy Thrift Stamps also. The habit of saving to be derived from the systematic purchase of Thrift Stamps at the present time will be one which in later years will be greatly appreciated by those who are getting the habit. —W. S. S. For that war-tired feeling, try the new summer medicine—W. S. S. —W. S. S. Failure to back the Government in the War Savings Stamp Campaign is failure to be a true American. The American who does not help America to the limit of his means and ability automatically helps Germany to the limit of his means and ability. Your community will grow in wealth in proportion to the recruits enlisted in the new Army of Savers. Are you enlisted? Where is your War Savings Stamp? —W.S.S.— Save even if it is not your habit. Save on impulse, or whim, or from sheer doggedness; but save. —W.S.S.— Save systematically. That's best. But if you can't, why, then save spasmodically. —W.S.S.— Come on now, don't be a miser. Just two-bits to stamp the 'Kaiser. —W.S.S.— Every quarter is of military ago. —W.S.S.— Savings Stamps Are Safe. Don't always believe the man who says that it is at a great sacrifice that he buys War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds, and that only his high sense of patriotism compells him to do so. The best bankers and the most successful investors will tell you that the safest investments are Government securities, and these today are War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds. John J. Pulleyn, president of the largest Savings Bank in the world—the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank of New York, expresses his views in the World's Work as to what are the safest investments a person can make today regardless of the fact that our country is at war. His advice is that which has come to him through experience, and which his and all savings Banks in New York practice. He says: "The man who tries to get 10 per cent. or even 6 per cent. on his money takes chances with his principal. For the average individual, the best investments range from Government and State bonds through municipales to the highest grade railroad issues. In such securities there is the greatest degree of safety for an investment. These classes of bonds are the ones that savings banks of New York buy. There have been no defaults among them. At present prices they can be secured to yield from 4½ to 5 per cent. on the investment." He says further, in regard to these investments: "A man cannot become a millionaire by this method of investment, but can gradually accumulate an estate, which will grow steadily if the interest is added to it and can be free from all worry in regard to it. He does not have to keep watch of the ticker or the quotations in the daily power. If he buys the best grade bonds, he can put them away to hold until maturity when they will be paid off at par. That is the way saving banks make their investments." COLORED MAN IS THE CHAMPION RIVETER WRESTS WORLD'S TITLE FROM WHITE MAN WITH 4,875 AIR HAMMER SCORES. Baltimore, Md., May 16.—Charles Knight, colored, leading riveter in the crew at the Sparrow's Point plant of the Bethlehem Shipblding Corporation, Limited, today snatched the crown from the bonny head of Scotland's "white hope of the air hammer," Thomas Devine, and established a new world's riveting record by driving in nine hours 4,875 three-quarter inch rivets, two and five eighty inches long, beating Devine's record by 453 rivets. The feat was witnessed by William Tussey, chief inspector for the United States Shipping Board; Joseph O'Keefe, inspector of the United States Shipping Board; H. Mitchell inspector for the American Bureau of Shipping and John Sheriff inspector for Lloyd's Bureau of Shipping. The following, all colored, comprise the record smashing crew; Knight, riveter; Henry Holcomb and John Stewart holders on; Clarence Bagley and George White, heater boys; William Jones and Roosevelt Robertson passers. J. H. Mosner was forenam in charge of the contest Driving rivets is now no stunt for Knight. He has been at it for five of the fifteen years he has spent in this line of work. He is a native of Virginia, is twenty six years old and married. Breaking records, however is something recent with him. Upon Inspector congratulations from Chief Inspector, he is returning back to Baltimore the world's leading court said: "Oh, I'll do better next time. You see, this is the first time I've tried breaking records." The Man From Africa. The Man From Africa With Comedies, moves from your path Conjure Bad Luck Troubles. Information Free.

"An audience of five thousand people has night heard a selected chorus of Negro voices render their ever popular old time melodies in a manner which has probably never been equaled before in any city." Thus began the Atlanta Constitution in its issue of May 1, in commenting upon the big musical that was given at the Auditorium-Armory on the evening of April 30th for the benefit of the furnishing fund of the new Y. M. C. A. More than twelve thouls and dollars were raised on this evening. Two thousand five hundred at the door in the sale of the tickets, and $9,750 on the inside when the program had been going for a while. This part of the unannounced program was carried out by Mr. J.

It sounds like Grand Opera receipts, but Atlanta did not have Grand Opera this year and this Folk Song Musical was used in its place. Here is the heading of a double column article that appeared in the Atlanta Journal Sunday April 28th: "Here's Atlanta's Own Substitute For Grand Opera." And among other things said that: "We want all Atlanta to help put it over-big." All three of the daily papers gave large space to the affair and each of the editors wrote strong editorials on the importance of the occasion. The Georgian in referring to the solo work of Miss Violet Thomas of Curtbert, Ga. who led most of the melodies said: "Her voice and its precision might well serve as a model for more widely known singers." One of the greatest surprises of the evening was the giving of another BANKING The banks of the country are prospering. People, who save are patronizing them and people, who borrow want to patronize them. In the present era of good times for money getting, the savings institutions of the country should be remembered. Train the child while it is young to save the pennies and not to spend them. Thousands of people, both married and single, spend for pleasure without any regard for the time when the money-paying period will be a thing of the past. Sickness comes suddenly and we should prepare for it. When a person spends every cent that is made and a bit more upon the plea that "everything is so high" and they cannot do better, somebody is out for trouble and later in life, this somebody will find it. Begin saving today. Despite conditions hundreds of people launch into enterprises for pleasure, not for business and not for the money that is in it. Recreation is needed, but we should indulge in the frivolities of life only when we are out of debt and our income will permit us to do so after putting aside some portion of our earnings for the "rainy day."

This makes $3,200. Mr. Howard has given the Atlanta Y. M. C. A, which makes him the largest individual contributor of color in the United States. Many of the leading white citizens vied with each other to add to the fund on this memorable evening. Among those present and occupying boxes were Governor and Mrs. Hugh M. Dorsey and Mayor Asa Candler. The big chorus of three hundred voices were trained by Prof. Kemper Harreld, Musical Instructor at More house College. Mr. W. Johnson Trent Secretary of the Y. M. C. feels very happy over the receipts and the fine impression the chorus was able to make on the thousands of people who came out on that evening. The whole affair was largely promoted by a com mitttee of leading white citizens under the Chairmanship of Mr. J. K. Orr, who had the hearty support of the leading ministers and haymen of the race in the city. R. V. DORSEY, 528 N. Adams St., Richmond, Va. HOUSE PAINTER and DECORATOR.
