Ed Johnson be a white man named George Hewitt, with purity allure. The many briefly summed up are a total lower. On the night of October 15, 1917, George Hewitt all joined Greenhill Eddie Johnson to take him from Mr T. T Richard's farm in New Kent county to Mr. John Conner's house in Hanover county where he Hewitt was boarding. Upon arriving at Mr. Conner's house, Hewitt left Johnson in the hungry a short distance from the house went in and practiced a shotgun and lantern, taking Conner that he and several revenue officers were going to raid a moonshine still. He returned to the bungy and Conner heard it driven away. Four days later Johnson's body was found concealed in a clump of bricks about a half mile from Conner's house and the same day Johnson's horse was found in Richmond where it had been sold. Hewitt, in the meantime, left for parts unknown. The citizens immediately after the murder was discovered, subscribed $100.00 as a reward for the apprehension of Hewitt and later increased this amount to $160.00. Hewitt was arrested in Queen Anne county, Mary land, April 27 and will be tried September 15 as Janovoe, Court Europe. The people of this section are so much interested in this case that they have employed Mr. Leigh S Stremerto assist the Commonwealth. PORTRAIT OF MRS. ROWSER IS PRESENTED TO THE BOYS REFORMATORY Brook Neck, Va., June 3. On last Sunday, June 2, a handsome large portrait of Mrs. Rosa D. Bowser was presented to the Reformatory on behalf of Baker Mothers' Club and other friends of Richmond. Mrs. Bowser raised the first money $20,000, contributed to this institution by colored people, at the Sunday School Convention, in Danville, Va. and assisted Hon. John H. Smythe in soliciting funds in Richmond. Through her influence Dr. Frizzellate President of Hampton Institute, induced Mr. C. P. Huntington to finish the payment on that hand-one of 124 acres of land, so that our unfortunate colored youth could be helped to start life again and not be placed with hardened criminals in jails and the State penitentiary. The portrait was beautifully presented by her grandson, little James-Oswald Bowser to Mrs. J. H. Blackwell, who made the presentation special in well-written letters to Mrs. Rosa D. Bowser. She stated also that Mr. William M. Adams had at the closing of the Richmond Night Schools, designated Mrs. Bowser as "Mother of the Night Schools." Mrs. Bowser has served both old and young along all avenues. Good and long life and blessings were wished by all. Mr. T. J. Edwards, the President and Prof. Bowser heartily welcomed the visitors. Mr. J. H. Blackwell responded. Remarks were made by Miss M. L. Chiles and others. Miss Alice Smith recited nicely.

MATE OF COLE TELLS OF SINKING ON THE JERSEY COAST THOUGHT U BOAT AMERICAN UNIT, GRUIT COMMAND TO CAY TO CAME. Now Norris, June 11. I've been at on a good many years, but I was in the navy in my life as when the pilot first moved up and settled in the way. First Mate on the ship of the Navy. First Mate on the ship of the Navy. Colonel described his feelings when the captain an officer had twenty-five miles south of the Hudson's Sunday afternoon. Lathrop, who coached with a pre-programmed southern accent, describe his role to host Houston as his home arrival at the office of the United States shipping commissioner at the battles this afternoon on board a boat steamer with Captain H. G. Severson and eleven members of the crew. "We were boating along in about three knots," continued the first mate about four o'clock yesterday afternoon. Nobody was thinking of U-boats when somebody spots something' black about a mule to port. "Every day, up to yesterday we saw lots of patrols, but not one was in sight yesterday, so when this black thing booms up I says, Hell, says I now know why there isn't no patrols. The subs is working for them." "We had our flags flying so they'd see I was American, but the first signal we got was 'lay to; we're coming aboard.' 'Ain't that just like them earned naval reserves,' says I, 'all gold lace, but they don't know noth' about the sea.' Here we are all signals set to tellin' who we are and now we can come' aboard to look us over myhow. 'Well, sir, the next signal we got almost knew me over. 'We're Germans,' it read, and so they was. 'Let's boat it,' says one of our fellows 'Where to?' says I. 'There didn't no wind.' 'The Dutchmen didn't seem to like the way we was heavin' to, so they plumbed a shot across our bows. Then a good looking officer comes over to us in a small boat with a bunch of armed men. He sure was a pretty dues, that officer, and he had a gun that would impress anyone. 'You're a nice lookin',' says one of my men. The officer looked at him and kinder quiet like said: 'That'll be about a!,' and it was. His English was good. 'He asked for the captain, and when Captain Newcombe spoke up he says, 'You've got just ten minutes to get away! I'm going to sink you. We didn't need ten; we made it in five. 'They let us go below and get our stuff, but most of us didn't bother about our duds; we made for the boats. 'Fear those fellows' watched; didn't be wrong. we rowed straight for the desert shovet. We could see some of the Dutchmen going below decks on the Cole and then comin' up and makein' for the Uboat in their own boat. Then there came an awful explosion the old Cole began to go down. "When the Cole began to sink the Uboat submerged and we didn't see her again, but there was another sullying about three miles off while this fellow was attending to us. He sighted a smudge of smoke way off on the horizon and made toward it. The last we saw of him he was still going after the smoke." TAG DAY FOR W. W. L. HOME.

Montgomery Co., Va., June 1—In the recent Red Cross Drive the work among colored people was organized under the direction of E. A. Lung, principal of the Christiansburg Industrial Institute and the sum of $529.00 was contributed by the colored people of the county. The amounts contributed came from places as follows. Christiansburg, C. J. Wartman, Mrs. Agnes Jenkins, and James W. Lester, captains, $231.20. Blacksburg—Preston Mays, captain, $154.55. Shawsville Ferd N. Robertson Cumberland Price John A.

Taylor, captain, $20.10 South Radford - Mrs. Mary Julia Jones, captain, $17.99 Total amount received $519.90 Total amount raised, $5,190. This is not by any means the first time colored people have contributed to the Red Cross and similar charities but it is the first time any organized effort has been made by then to keep their charities from white people's. The county as a whole was apportioned $6000 as its part of the Hundred Million Dollars asked for, and the colored people were asked to raise $500 as their share, which they exceeded by $39. As a first effort in organized charity the showing reflects great credit upon our colored population and is a strong indication of the loyalty which they bear to the cause in which the Nation is now engaged.

SCOTT, Dragonville, Va. --- FINALS AT THE VIRGINIA THEO- LOGICAL SEMI- NARY & COLLEGE Lemont, Va., June 1, The Virginia Theological Seminary and College began Friday, May 14 with Class II Evening seas and May 15 with Commencement. The Class Lay Exercises Are held the second on the Champions before breadths of visitors, parents, pri- ners and friends, that is enclosed for the occasion. The Baccalaureate service was held in College Chapel, Sunday, May 15 with Glocke, Roy, W. B. B. O. D. Harford, Cotn pastor of Ubishah Church, opened the petition Dr. Root's test was taken from I Kings, 2014, subject to the Challenge to "Trained Lead- ers." Dr. Root in a very effective way challenged the need of Christian leaderhip. The three topics di- vided were First, Man's extremity to God's opportunity. Second, Leaders divested of visions of Christian leadership, and Third, Efficient service of today will stand the test of tomorrow. An audience that more than taxed the spacious Chapel, heard Dr. Reed gladly in this very excellent sermon. Leader: Christian, political, and military were discussed; their cries and practices, their successes and failures were reviewed, the element in their lives that merited and gained success and the weakness that courted failure and in some instances disaster. Dr. Reed urged the class to follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit and to strive to render humble Christian service. Tuesday evening the Commandment exercises were held and the honor graduate spoke. Miss Ora W. Womack delivered the valedictory for the Teacher Training Class: Miss B. Helen Kelson, for the Academic Miss Ruth Stiff and Mr. Reginald H. Chisholm delivered the salutatory for the Teacher Training and Academic Classes, respectively. The College speakers were Moss, M. C Allen, R. A. Arthurs and J. W. Megginson. DR. DUBCIS. THE SPEAKER The Commencement speaker was Dr W. E. B. Dobbins, Editor of The Crisis, New York. He poke on, "The New Democracy." He spoke of the phases of democracy known to the world prior to the present world catalysis and emphasized the fact that the new democracy that is to follow the cessation of the war, will be an industrial democracy. The man who works will be the man who votes, said the speaker, and then the voter will see to it that tight opportunities are given for the education of his children, their protection and occupation. That the State will, in a greater way, care for the unfortunate. WAR TEACHES LESSONS Dr. Dubois stated that this war is teaching us of our unlimited possibilities and resources and when it is ever we will know what we can do and do it. Before the war there were certain things we felt that we could not do for ourselves, said he, but we will no longer believe such. He graphically outlined the growth and ideas of the modern governments and told of the underlying causes leading up to the present world catastrophe, assuring his hearers that the title of democracy could not be stemmed. MADE PROFOUND IMPRESSION Dr. Duffois made a profound imposition upon his vast audience, appearing as he did at the very best advantage. Hundreds of visitors were here from all sections of Virginia and other States to witness the exercises, and to hear one of the riptest scholars and foremost men of the times. Men and women in all ranks and professions heard him. President Woods delivered the diplomas and degrees. There were thirteen graduates, representing College, Theological, Academic and Teacher Training departments. Three M. C. Allen, Danville, Va., R. A. Arthurs, Philadelphia, J. W.

THE PLANET SATURDAY.....JUNE 8, 1918 "THE BUFFALOES," A FIRST-CLASS COLORED FIGHTING REGIMENT PTS. COLORED OFFICERS KAVI SEEN PREVIOUS SERVICE IN ARMY CAMPARGNS "The Outlook" Publishes Article on Unique National Army Regiment by Lieut. O. E. McKaine, Colored Staff Outder. (Continued From Last Week) With the assistance of their civilian friends both white and colored, the officers and men of the 367th Regiment of Infantry known as the Buffaloes," have created a mammoth and/or arm at Camp Upton, New York. The other night at the auditorium I wen to see a show and several white and colored soldiers were sitting just behind me. "talking it over" and waiting for the next act. I began listening in" and heard a conversation that went something like this between one of the white soldiers and some of the Buffaloes: "Does this building belong to you fellows?" the white soldier asked. "We built and paid for it so it must." "But I thought I saw some white fellows in here using it the other day." "You may have," the Buffalo replied; "but it's only because we let 'em. See this bench we're sitting on? Well I paid for this bench with my own money; but I don't mind you siting here. And then furthermore we're going to give it to the Government when we get our money back." "Yes, but I thought this building belonged to the Government and was just given to you fellows while you are here." "Government nothin'. This auditorium belongs to the Buffalofoes every board and plank." "What did it cost?" "Forty thousand dollars and we did all the rough work ourselves." "Good show here tonight?" "Always a good show at the Buffalo auditorium. Come down and bring your friends—we need the money." "Well," laughed the white soldier, "all we want is our money's worth. Do you fellows pay to come in?" "My face don't look like a ticket, does it? Of course we pay to come in." "Many white soldiers come down here often?" "Look back there now. Do you see many? Well, it's just like that all the time—just as many white fellows as colored." "Looks like you fellows would want this all to yourselves." "Well," said the Buffalo, "it's like this. Lots of white folks helped us out on this building; and then I've got a lot of white friends in camp and wherever I go they can go; and furher we won't draw the line here as long as you fellows don't draw it. Now next week we've got two white fellows on the bill we pay 'em just like we pay everybody else—and boy listen to that band." And the lights went out and the show was on. The Buffalo auditorium is the great democratizing institution of Camp Upton. White soldiers and white officers attend as regularly as colored soldiers and officers. The building is not a colored auditorium, but an auditorium for soldiers built by the 367th Regiment with the assistance of their friends. Eventually it will become the property of the Government. It was designed primarily for drill during severe and inclement weather. All of the preliminary bayonet instruction for the regiment, as well as some of the white regiments, has been given in this building. Classes in boxing by Bonnie Leonard, regimental lectures and lectures of special classes, chorus singing, and many other activities and instructions that cannot be held outdoors with any degree of satisfaction and success have been held in the auditorium. In the evenings and afternoons and evenings of Saturdays and Sundays and holidays, the auditorium is devoted to religious services, motion pictures, vaudeville and other forms of recreation. The officers and men of the regiment subscribed over fourteen thousands dollars toward the building and spent more than five hundred dollars additional in expenses incurred incident to the campaign for the remaining twenty six then and dollars. As the founders of the auditorium intended that a small guru should be charged for the entertainments and shows bonds were issued to cover cost of erection in denominations of ten, fifty, one hundred and five hundred dollars which were to be redeemed as soon as possible, and in the event that the regiment was enforced abroad before full redemption such funds as had been accumulated were to be prorated among the bondholders, the unredeemed portion being considered a contribution. When Colonel James A. Moss, in command of the regiment, first proposed to build the auditorium and issue bonds, he received a very lukewarm reception from the men; but when the cold winds of Long Island searched every crack and crevice, every tour and rip, the men viewed the project with increasing favor, and finally voted to back it to the limit. "The Colonel must think we're going to be here for a thousand years," I overheard a Buffalo say one day between breathing spills from pleking. "Well, I'd just as leave be here as out there drilling, for out there I just can't seem to git my feet to move till everybody else is gone. it mus' be cause I git so cold. Man, I never seen snow bofo' in my life! Down there in Texas there ain't no snow, and if the Colonel says that the auditorium kin be used for drills and such things. I'm wid 'im.' If the auditorium served no other purpose than as an ideal place for indoor instruction in winter and recreation during the evenings thereby increasing the efficiency of the men and adding to their chances for whipping the Hun and returning home alive, it would be well worth the time and money spent in its erection; but its greatest purpose and value lie in the wonderful esprit de corps it tends to develop in the regiment. Napoleon said, according to General Domini, "Battles cannot be won by troops possessing no esprit de corps." Colonel Moss, the commander of the regiment, who has perhaps written more books than any other American army officer living, in writing of esprit de corps in his manual for officers, says: "Esprit de corps is that feeling of loyalty, pride, and enthusiasm of the officer and soldier, first and especially, for his own particular regiment or corps; second and generally for the army to which he belongs—founded in each case on the glorious traditions of the past, on the patriotism and efficiency of the present, and on the determined resolve in future war and peace to uphold the prestige, the honor, the tradition of the army, the regiment, or corps—nay, go further, and increase the prestige, the honor, the tradition, by adding something there to by individual acts of his own." "Whatever means tend to create, uphold, and, increase prestige and honor must of necessity preserve and strengthen esprit de corps, for these are the living spring that give it its life, and it has need of all of them. The traditions of the new Nero may be traced in the history of the great Chaka in the Valley of the Nile, thousands of years ago; Hannibal, "greatest of tacticians," in the war between Carthage and Rome; L'Onverture in the Haitian rebellion against the mighty Napoleon; Attacks, as the first casualty in America's first battle against the tyranny of George III on Boston Common; black sailors with Perry on Lake Erie; Black Samson at Brandywine; Peter Salem at Bunker Hill; Carney at Fort Wagner; the 24th and 25th Regiments of infantry and the 9th and 10th Cavalry at El Caney and San Juan in Cuba and during the insurrection in the Philippines; and the feat of the 10th Cavalry at Carrizal while with the Punitive Expedition in Mexico. The place of honor held by the Negro in the profession of arms is predicated upon the enviable and cherished facts that he has never had a traitor within his ranks and has never had the blot of cowardice upon his spotless escutcheon. His prestige is based upon the high regard as a fighting man in which he is held by all fighters whom he has opposed; whether they be white men, black men, or brown men. It may be rather far fetched to the uninitiated to connect the building of an auditorium on bleak Long Island in the year of our Lord 1918 with a recital of the Negro's prowess as a fighter, and with a compendium of his traditions, honor and prestige; but beyond and above every other consideration the object of building the costliest, largest, and finest building in any cantonment in the country was to create anow, revive, stimulate, foster, and perpetuate these very things. Without these things the Negro would be as helpless against the wily Hun as if the Government had sent him into battle unarmed. He needs these things worse than most white soldiers do. An epitome of the reasons why America entered the war has been tersely set forth in the slogan, "To make the world safe for Democracy." In his mind he confuses principles of democratic government with the Democratic party, and his bellicose enthusiasm suffers in consequence of his confusion. He knows but one thing, and that is blind, unswerving, and undivided loyalty to the flag for which his fathers have bled and died. That is not enough. He must either accept the democratic principles for which his country wages war or a cause must be created for him. He must have something to fight for, something that he understands and is in accord with. What has the auditorium to do with principles, causes, dreams, and morale? It has inestimable value as a creator of morale. There is a breaking-point in the collective nerves of any command when, after the fearful scenes of battle, the will of the organization is no longer able to drive its legs forward. By training the moral qualities we seek to raise this breaking point. Study of the moral factors that animate men is therefore of the greatest importance. From association with them you must learn how best to appeal to their higher qualities. You must know what are the principles, right, or possessions, intimately, per oral and unmistakably theirs, which the enemy jeopardizes and for which they will fight till they conquer or themselves are hopelessly defeated. Today there is not time for commanding officers to study men in detail and elaboration. Colonel Moss our commanding officer, knew this full well. Our allies are fighting defensively, waiting for a force which surrounded by the brutality and ruthlessness of the flun, is the incarnate spirit of the offensive. If we would win, we must go now. We cannot delay. But we cannot go if our men are not trained. if they have not become imbued with the enthusiasm necessary for success in war. To obtain this spirit the morale of troops must be very high indeed. To create, this morale their officers must understand their psychology and must know them intimately through contact. To obtain this contact they must have a common meeting ground where they can become mutually acquainted without detriment to discipline. The officers must divine just what expression brings forth the greatest sinecre response. In the 367th Regiment the commanding officer accomplishes this by frequent talks on widely varied subjects to the entire regiment in the auditorium. He weighs the response given to each subject. It can be stated with confidence that today he knows just how to appeal to them and what appeal arouses the fighting spirit of the Buffalooes; and he himself has stated on numerous occasions that he knows that when they go over the top Wilhelmstrasse will know it. This vitally important knowledge could never have been acquired in the short time allotted excepting for this common meeting-place. Has this morale been created in the regiment? This is my answer: General Bell, former Chief of Staff and second ranking Major-General in the Army, and twenty-eight years a soldier, said among other things, in an address delivered to the Buffaloes: "This is the best-disciplined, the best-drilled, and the best-spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment at Camp Upton, and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome. I know that you would acquit-yourselfs with the same bravery and loyalty that has attracted the attention of the world to the Negro regiments in the Regular Army. ******** I say again. I would lead Negro troops in battle against the greatest fighters of the world with confidence in my success. ******** I have served a good many years with colored soldiers, and I know them. Properly led, they haven't a superior in the world." It should be remembered that this high degree of proficiency and efficiency was obtained under the instruction of colored officers. There are two colored units at Camp Upton and Brigade Headquarters—the 367th Regiment of Infantry or the "Buffaloes," as they are better known, and the 351st Machine Gun Battalion. All of the captains, excepting one commanding the headquarters Company (white) and one attached, are former non-comissioned officers of the Regular Army. Among them are two who have certificates of merit for gallantry in action under fire. All of them have been in two or more campaigns, and most of them were with Pershing in Mexico. All of them have had service in the Philippine Islands. The commanding officer of the Machine Gun Battalion is white, all others are colored. All of the officers of the Buffaloes are colored excepting the field and staff officers and commanding officer of the Headquarters Company and Supply Company. The battalion adjutants are colored. The regiment has 113 officers and 8 attached. The Machine Gun Battalion has 22 officers. The regiment has had a higher average on the target range than any other regiment ever stationed at Camp Upton. Incidentally, the 367th Regiment is the only regiment in the National Army with a name, regimental stationery, regimental swagger-stick, and is one of the very few that have a regimental song, regimental pennant, regimental basket-ball team; and it acknowledges no superior among the armies of the world in the matter of regimental esprit de corps. Colonel Moss, who has provided the Introduction to this article on the 367th Infantry, of which he is commanding officer, is one of the best known military authors in the world. He has written twenty six military books of which several have been for years regarded as standard. His "Manual of Military Training has been called the Encyclopadia Britannica of the Army." His "Officers' Manual," a guide in official and social matters, is used by practically every young officer entering the Army. His "Privates' Manual" was adopted several years ago by the United States Marine Corps and a copy is placed in the hands of every recruit. Other books of his, such as "Non-Commissioned Officers' Manual;" "Army Paperwork" "Infantry Drill Regulations Simplified;" "Field Service;" "Riot Duty;" "Company Training;" and "Applied Minor Tactics;" are also regarded as standards among all military men. Since his graduation from West Point in 1894 Colonel Moss's service has been distinguished. It includes a record of two campaigns. In addition, he was adeo-de-cup for three years to Lieutenant General Henry C. Corbin, during which time although only a captain in the Regular Army, he had the rank, pay and allowances of lieutenant colonel. For three years he was instructor at the Army Service Schools, Port Lexington, Kansas, in 1911 and 1912 he was on special duty in the office of the Chief of Staff of the Army. General Leonard Wood by whom he had been specially selected to reduce and simplify the administrative 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 administrative work. Lieutenant 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 recruiting sergeant or as aide-de-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 WHAT DID SHE DO? NOAH'S HAIR DRESSING Price $10. If your dealer can't supply you send us.

He is not sufficiently interested in men and things of the world to know what is meant by Prussian militarism and the world war; about democracy and autocracy, etcetra. What he did not see and feel directly did not molest him at all. In fact, he just realized that the war was going on since hearing so many heated argument on the subject. If the loud and bo sterous talking of the "war orators" had not interrupted him in his egotistic musings it would have been many years after the war before he would have found out that the great world war had been fought. --- MADAME LUCIE CHRISTIAN SCOTT is associated in business with her husband, Mr. Alphene Scott.

VIRGINIA One day he was present during an exceedingly noisy argument about the armament and man-power of the war ring 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 hellish and destructive things could ever be devised by man. Suddenly he interrupted the noisy debaters and asked then if they were sure that such wore true. On being told that it was true, he said, "Well, then, SOMEBODY WILL SURE GET INJURED AFTER AWHILE."

That is about all you can do now. Colored folks are making money and we rise to observe that colored folks are spending it. The highest aim of some people is to get married and the greatest desire of some others is to get a divorce Young ers should learn trades. Most of them are learning devilment and they do not need much training either to graduate in this school of illegitimate endeavor. LF Men, who seem to think that God is dead will have a great awakening one of these days. As for the women, they know exactly what will be their portion. What is the use of getting angry with some of these colored folks about what they say about us? We lose as much time in getting angry as they do in talking about us. They will be in heaven or in the other place after white and both God, and the Devil know exactly what to do with them. --- Seventy thousand dollars is the amount soon to be distributed among the depositors of the defunct True Reformers Savings Bank. It has been and is now such a long time coming that there will be many glad hosun nas, when the first installment is paid. The matter is in the hands of Judge Crump of the Law and Equity Court and Attorney J. R. Pollard has worried both the Receivers and His Honor nearly to death in an effort to secure a winding up of the affairs. The Liberty Congress will meet in Washington, D. C., June 24th, Churches and organizations are need ed to send delegates. We hope that the attendance will be large and that conservatism will govern their deliberations. We are living in war times now and although the national government will not admit, the guaran tees of the federal constitution have been suspended. Mass-meeting will will be held in the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor 14th and Corcoran Sts, N. W. THE SITUATION IN EUROPE We have not been disposed to discuss the present conditions on the other side in this great world war, for the reason that the censorship has been strict and it is difficult to determine just how far one should go and just what one should say in a discussion of the astounding developments on the other side. To the surprise of every one, Russia collapsed utterly and concluded a peace that has been unusually disastrous to the allies both from a commercial and a belligerent standpoint. This peace agreement has resulted in the transfer of more than two and one half million German and Austrian troops from the Russian field of action for use in fighting the allies in France and Italy. This was bad enough, but there were tens of thousands of prisoners hold in Russia and they too have been released. The Germans reorganized this force and by careful training and planning have been able to overwhelm the French and English on the Western front. Ground that cost the allies an estimated number of half million men in killed and wounded was taken over again by German allies in the fighting since last March thus nullifying in a few weeks the work of many months. The bravery of the British, French and Americans in the face of overwhelming odds has won the admittation and praise of even the merciless enemy. Great Britain is well-nigh exhausted and France is in a similar condition with the United States growing stronger every minute in its great offensive movement against Kaiser William and his allies. Troops are being shipped to France in ever increasing numbers and they are now on the firing line. Colored men, who at first were intended for manual labor or digging trenches and the like are at that employment, but it has been found essentially necessary to place them on the firing line. The reports show that they are rendering first class service. Those who have been unable to go are equally as patriotic at home in rendering assistance in every way. They have led a movement for the sale of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. No word but praise is voiced in favor of the national administration and politics is forgotten. The outlook in France is gloomy Germans have succeeded in hemming in the British and French in Flanders in a manner that unless help is speedily forthcoming from this country will portend ruin to the British army. The blow, which resulted in the capture of Sololins and the endangering of Paris has caused much speculation. The Germanic combine is now within thirty miles of the outer forts of that great city. Commander in chief Foch is maneuvering his forces so as to protect Paris and not to endanger the safety of the British. He is having a difficult task doing this. Three million American troops are needed in France now. They will be there next year at least. Can the Allies hold out until aid reaches them from this country? On this answer will depend the result of the war. The Germans have invented a gun that shoots seventy six miles. They have reserves in groups of hundreds of thousands. They have now brought the submarine to our very doors for reports show that some nineteen or twenty ships have been sunk by super-submarines. They have six inch guns mounted that shoot more than five miles. We are now being put upon an economizing basis and every man, woman and child is being urged to make the needful sacrifices. Some people are uneasy as to the result and some are wondering if the money of this country will continue to be good money. Win or lose, the money of the United States will be good, Win or lose, the workingmen of the country will receive their pay. Win or lose, President Woodrow Wilson will be President of these United States and the Congress of the United States will discharge its functions. We are paying about all the taxes that we can pay and win or lose, the burden will hardly be greater than it is now. Paying tribute to German, is almost unthinkable, but should such be the case, the war taxes now being collected will go into the German treasury at Berlin, instead of in the treasury at Washington. Money that has been used for war purposes will go in other channels. But what is the use of talking about losing this war? President Wilson and Secretary Baker say that we shawin it. They must know what they are talking about and until we lose the war we shall continue to believe that we shall win it. Seah! FLORENCE LETTER Florence, S.

I will close now as it is getting late and I have only a few hours to sleep. Much love and best wishes to you all. Hoping to hear from you soon. Yours as ever, PVT. THOMAS J.

The Woman's Baptist Stage Educational Convention of Virginia will hold its 23rd annual sess-on at Richmond Virginia June 20th to 23rd, 1918 with the Circle of Thirty first Street Church, Rev. R. C. Williams, pastor. With souls unkindled with Nation al patriotism and racial love and devotion we are going over the conventional top as the Negro Soldiers will so bravely do in France this year. It has been nineteen years since the convention met in the Capital city, then the convention was in its infancy, small in size but being large in heart, noble in purpose; resolute in principle. We go now in fullness of our strength-matured by years of experience. We want and expect a large delegation and instead of the war being an excuse it is a reason why we will need the largest delegation and the biggest rally in order to meet the heavy expanse the war has placed upon education as upon everything else. The convention needs $2,000,60 and I am urging every circle to send large contributions to meet this need. Every loyal circle and every will is asked not for her bit but for her best. Victory depends on you! ELIZA P. FOX, President. FULTON NOTES: Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and Sunday School were well attended on last Sunday.

The letter was cheering. "Dear Mother, I am doing well. Each boy send best regards to the boys, girls and friends. You can send them candies, cakes and smokes.

DRIVE State Is Lagging Behind In Quota Which Must eB Subscribed Get Pledges By June 28. Because Virginia is lagging far be- hind in the purchase of War Savings Stamps the great drive in June was decided upon as the best way to arouse the people to the situation and to save the State from being classified in the shacker ranks when the campa- nage closes on December 31. Figures compiled by Director Thomas B. McAdams speak far louder than words in showing how Virginia stands in the matter of the purchase of War Savings Stamps. With the campaign nearly one-half over, the State has invested, as of April 31, $3,387,119 and her allotment for the year is $45,000,000. This means that with barely more than six months in which to do the work, Virginia must make up her deficiency of $41,612,881. On the basis of the allotment, Virginians are expected to invest $20 per capita in War Savings Stamps. In none of the counties, nor the cities for that matter, has this allotment been rached. Bath county show the highest per capita purchase, which is $11.07. From this sum the scale falls to 11 cents per capita in Craig and Dickens counties. Bristol is leading the cities with $6.44 per capita, while Petersburg is bringing up the rear rank with 98 cents per capita. Therefore, it will be seen at a glance that Virginia has a hard task in order not to be eclipsed by other States. W. S. S. General Foch—and don't forget to pronounce it "Fush," for he doesn't like the hard German sound—has cabled a message to America urging "back your brave fighting men with cash." Buy War Savings Stamps. W. S. S. Buy—buy—buy Thrift and War Savings Stamps. Not once, while someone is looking—but again and again and again. Saving and lend your money is the least you can do to help bring back the boys who have gone overseas. Buy War Savings Stamps so you can take part in the welcome they will get when they do come back. —— W. S. S. —— • War Savings Stamps will bear close investigation. —— W. S. S. —— The first big business of this nation is to win the war. It takes cash to win. How many War Savings Stamps do you own! -W. S. S. June 20th Is W. S. S. Day Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo has called upon Virginians as well as all Americans to give concrete evidence of their devotion to the country by purchasing War Savings Stamps. Here is what he has to say on the subject: "It is essential that the American people economize and save in order to make available to their Government the money indispensably needed for the war and to release supplies and labor required for the production of things necessary for our own military forces and for the military forces of the nations associated with us. One of the best methods of bringing about this result is for everyone to pledge himself to economize and save and to purchase, at definite periods, a specific amount of War Savings Stamps, thus giving concrete evidence of his support of the practice of War Savings. "To achieve this object, there will be conducted, under the direction of the Treasury Department, a campaign for pledges, culminating on June 28, when loyal Americans throughout the country will be asked to commit themselves to this program. "The progress of the war demands constant and increasing sacrifices. We are sending our young manhood to represent us on foreign battlefields, where they are called upon to sacrifice not only their personal comfort, and material interests but their lives as well. It is appropriate, therefore, for the American people who are privileged to remain in safety and comfort at home to consider their sacred obligation to support our valiant men and to pledge themselves earnestly to save and economize in order that our soldiers and sailors may have the food and clothing and the arms and ammunition without which they cannot fight. "To the end that this intensive campaign may be most effective, I earnestly bespeak the cooperation of all the organizations and institutions of the nation which, through their influence and active support, can further this work. It is desirable that the attention of the entire people be centered on their obligation to pledge the Government this kind of support for the winning of the war, and with this object in view, that June 28, 1918, he observed as a National War Savings Day. "With adequate perparation for a National War Savings Day on June 28th, I am sure that the American people will be glad to participate and to pledge themselves to become war savers, thereby giving concrete evidence of their devotion to their country and of their inflexible purpose to fight until a triumphant victory for liberty is secured." EX-PRES. ROOSEVELT'S CAUSTIC CHARGES AGAINST ACTS OF THE ADMINISTRATION. (Continued From Last Week) "We reply to the Metropolitan for the very reason that we do not reply to anti war or anti American papers. They are known to be what they are, but the regulation of the Metropolitan for loyalty gives weight to its mas-statements." LOYALTY IS UNQUESTIONED. "This is, as shown by the use of the word 'we,' a complete and full acknowledgment on the part of Mr. Creel that my statements with regard to the Administration in this matter are correct. It is a complete and full acknowledgment that the Administration acts against a publication whose loyalty is unquestioned, but which attacks the kind of governmental inefficiency which tells in favor of Germany, although at the same time the Administration does not act the anti-war or anti American papers—so long, I may add incidentally, as these papers champion the Administration and apologize for the inefficiency of its actions. "Since the Postmaster General's challenge to me was made public, private citizens have taken against the Hearst papers the action which the Administration has refused to take. The New York American in publishing President Wilson's Memorial Day proclamation omitted that part of the proclamation which contained the prayer for victory, although it printed the part containing the prayer for peace—a proceeding entirely in consonance with Mr. Hearst's advocacy of a 'peace without victory.' QUOTES HEARST EDITORIALS Colonel Roosevelt then enumerates cities an towns which recently took steps to prevent the sale of Hearest newspapers refers to the American Defense Society's mass meeting on November 2 last at which Hearest was arraigned by James M. Back and quotes exhaustively from editorials in Hearest newspapers to sustain a his allegation of Mr. Heart's alleged disloyal tendencies. Then Colonel Roosevelt declares: "Let the Administration recall that Mr. Heart was writing these editorials week after week, month after month during the time succeeding the sinking of the Lusitania.

Having been born and reared in the State of Louisiana, whose confession I did not leave until I went to West Point at the age of eighteen and having served cigarette 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 a m in civil life and in the Army—in peace and in war; in garrison; and in the feld. If property 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 responsible and tractable; he is very amenable to discipline; he takes pride in his uniform; he has faith and confidence in his leader; he possesses physical courage—all of which are valuable military assets. The secret of making an efficient soldier out of the colored men lies THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA in knowing the qualities 10 posacases that are military assets and which I have named and then appealing to and developing them—that is, utilizing them to the greatest: extent possible. Make the colored man feel that you have faith in him, and then, by sympathetic and conscientious training and instruction, help him to fit himself in a military way to vindicate that faith, to "make good." Be strict with him but treat him fairly and justly, making him realize that in your dealings with him he will all ways be given a square deal. Commend him when he does well and punish him when he is refractory—that is to say let him know that he will always get what is coming to him whether it be reward or whether it be punishment. In other words treat and handle the colored man as you would any other human being out of whom you would make a good soldier, out of whom you would get the best 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; fight well—in short a man who will give a good account of him self in battle, and who will conduct 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. Germany Fail to Increase Damage, But Make More Noise Paris, May 29.—The long range bombardment of Paris began again early this morning. Examination of the shells discharged by the Germans indicated that new guns are being used. Larger shells are being employed then formerly, the calibre of the guns being 24 centimeter (9 1:2 inches) instead of 24. The powder charge is greater and the detonator on board, but the force of the explosion does not seem to have increased. A shell exploded yesterday only a dozen yards from a man seated on a bench and did not injure him. The Man From Africa.

CORNER THIRD AND CLAY STREETS RICHMOND, VIRGINIA "I want to get all of the enjoyment I can out of life and spend all of the money I get for I don't know how long I am to live and I shall be a long time dead." seems to be a popular expression with most people. Many of them are "a long time alive" and as all of their money has been spent, they are without means in old age and must live from "hand to mouth" upon the charity of others. These people have a horror of the poorhouse, but many of them reach there. It is well to have the necessities of life while you live, but you can't have them and at the same time save a part of your earnings for the time of trouble. Start a savings account in some bank. Keep your bank-book handy and constantly add to the amount thereon. You will live to "thank your stars" for your own foresight. Buying on time and running a credit account is injurious too, for you will invariably buy more when you can do so without cash money, than you will if you pay for it at the time and you can note how the little money you have is disappearing from sight. Save while you are in good health and spend when you cannot help it. HOUSE PAINTER and DECORATOR. ROOF PAINTING and ROOF REPAIRING A SPECIALTY.
