(General Canliffe now arranged a combined movement against the strong and important position of Banyo in the same mountainous district as Gashaka, but about thirty miles to the Southwest thereof. His troops began to move in the early part of October, and at the same time General DobeI instructed a column to advance from Bare, near Northern railhead, on Dackling which was occupied on the 6th of November.
ADVANCE AGAINST BANYO
Five colonies of Caufield's army converged on Banyo Mountain at the end of October. This hill, which rises to a height of 1,200 feet is very steep, with many large boulders which had been linked together by about 300 Sangars, every commanding point being strengthened by a small fort. Brick houses and cement reservoirs for water had been provided at the summit and forty tons of grain, 226 head of cattle, hundreds of fowls and a vast quantity of other material had been accumulated to enable the garrison to endure a prolonged seige, and the enemy was confident that the position could be maintained till the end of the war.
FORTIFIED HILL SURROUNDED
By the 2nd of November General Cunliffe had disposed of his forces round the lower part of the mountain, while his mounted men were so placed as to give notice of any attempt to break out. Three 2.95 inch guns were to support the infantry attack, which began at daybreak on the 1th. Till 9 A.M. a thick fog enveloped the mountain under which the troops made considerable progress though the guns could render them no assistance.
COMPANY REACHES THE TOP.
One company under Captain Bowyer Smith reached the summit, but coming under a cross fire was forced to retire after considerable losses including its commander. By noon the main body had gotten about half way up the slope, where they were held up by entrenched position until nightfall, when the advance was resumed in spite of a large number of dynamic bombs, a weapon quite new to native troops.
ENEMY POSITION TAKEN
During the night the climb was continued, the fighting men being kept supplied with food and water by the devotion and courage of the transport carriers. By dusk of the next day only about one hundred yards remained to the summit; the troops held on during the night in spite of violent thunderstorm, and reached the top at daybreak on the 6th, the garrison having broken up into small parties which endeavored to escape under cover of the storm, being mostly captured on the road.
GENERAL CUNLIEFE ADVANCES
The General says in his dispatch, "This nation may, I think be justly described as one of the most ardent ever fought by Native African Troops." General Cochise then advanced towards the Noccalific Rapids of the San Juan, about 10 miles North of Vumache, which he reached on the 4th of January, 1916, his troops having marched and fought continuously over 600 miles since the 18th of September.
THE CAMEROONS SITUATION.
On the 21st of December, 1915 the position in the Cameroons was that Yaunde, the temporary German capital and seat of administration was being threatened by two columns ad-
vancing from the West, while General Cunifife's forces on the North! (Continued on Seventh Page.)

THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH
RAISED $1,502.62 FOR
MISSIONS
The Pastor Praises His Church—The Members are Jubilant.
The Missionary Campaign of the Second Baptist Church closed last Sunday with much jubilation among the workers. About three weeks ago the church launched an effort to raise One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) for Missions, with Mrs. Rosa E. Watson as Director General.
The church was organized into a veritable army of missionary workers. With oneness of mind, singleness of purpose and genuine Christian zeal all the forces entered the field with the determined purpose of "Winning the War." And from the field of toil the laborers returned last Sunday bringing to the church for Missions the sum of $1,502,62. Dr. Z. D. Lewis, the pastor, was loud in praise of the members of the church for their splendid achievement in the Missionary work, emphasizing the fact that this large amount raised for Missions not only gave evidence of their spiritual life as a church, but of their return to the one and only purpose for which the Christian Church was organized, viz. "An agency by which the world must be evangelized; that the Church whose main object was to build and maintain a fine edifice and pay the salaries of officers while doing little or nothing for Missions is failure doomed and is but a very little more than a religious fake."

COLONEL WM. HAYWOOD PRAISES PRIVATE HENRY JOHNSON OF NEW YORK. The Colonel of Colored Regiment Tells Wife of Hubby's Bravery. Prize Money Awarded--The Letter Describes Battle in Which Two Soldiers Beat Off the German Raiders.
Colonel William Hayward's own story of the bravery of Private Henry Johnson, 3690th Infantry, which brought him the French War Cross, is contained in a letter which the colonel has written to Private Johnson's wife, Mrs. Edna Johnson, 23 Monroe street, Albany, N. Y., in which he cites graphically the instances of coolness and fighting ability of Private Johnson against great odds.
Johnson was wounded in a trench raid which he and another comrade effectively stopped and in addition to the War Cross, fifty frames, which General Gourand of the French forces gave to Colonel Hayward for the use of the family of the first man in his regiment to be wounded under heroic circumstances, has been sent to Mrs. Johnson.
Colonel Hayward's letter follows: "Your husband, Private Henry Johnson is in my regiment, 3690th United States Infantry, former Fifth New York Infantry. He has been at all times a good soldier and a good boy of fine morale and upright character. To these admirable traits he has lately added the most convincing numbers of fine courage and fighting ability. I regret to say at the moment that he is in the hospital, seriously but not dangerously wounded, the wounds having been received under such circumstances that everyone of us in the regiment would be pleased and proud to trade places with him.
"It was as follows: He and Private Needham Roberts were on guard together at a small outpost of the front line trench near the German lines and during the night a strong raiding party of Germans, numbering from twelve to twenty judging by the weapons, clothing and paraphernula they left behind and by their foot prints, stole across No Man's Land and made a surprise attack in the dead of the night on our two brave soldiers.
"We had learned some time ago from captured German prisoners that the Germans had heard of the regiment of black Americans in this sector, and the German officers had told their men how easy to combat and capture them it would be. So this raiding party came over, and on the contrary Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts were very much awake and alert and attending strictly to their duties.
"At the beginning of the attack, the Germans fired a volley of bullets and grenades and both of the boys were wounded, your husband three times and Roberts twice, then the Germans rushed the post expecting to make an easy capture. In spite of their wounds, the two boys waited coolly and courageously and when the Germans were within striking distance opened fire, your husband with his rifle and Private Roberts from his helpless position on the ground with hand grenades. But the German guardingarty came on in spite of the wounded and in a few seconds our boys were at grips with the terrible foe in a desperate hand to hand encounter in which the enemy outnumbered them ten to one.
"The boys indicted heavy loss on the enemy, but Roberts was overpowered and about to be carried away when your husband, who had used all of the cartridges in the magazine of his rifle and had knocked one Grimma down with the butt end of it, drew his balo from his belt. A bolo is a short heavy weapon carried by the American soldier, with the edge of a racer, the weight of a cleaver and the point of a butcher knife."
He rushed to the rescue of his former comrade and fightible desperately, owed with his bolo the head of the German who was throttling Colubris and turned to the Roche who lost Robert by the foot, plunging the bolo in the German's bowels. This one was the leader of the German army and on receiving what must have been this mortal wound exhibited in American English without any trace of account, "Oh the son of a man got me," thus proving that he was undoubtedly one of the so-called German Americans who came to our country, not to become a good citizen of it, but to portake of its plenty and bounty and then return to
"Your world's record feat of driving 4,875 rivets on May 16 has set for American ship-builders the fast pace that is so necessary for carrying on the war successfully." Chairman Hurley, United States Shipping Board, to Charles Knight, Champion Riveter of the World, Bethlehem ship-building Plant, Starrow's Point, Md.

Earth was convulsed with fate; we called, in pain;
You answered with your quickened brawn and brain,
"Ships, Ships!" we prayed; your soul immortal might

fight for the Kaiser and help ensue the world. He was doubledless selected as leader of the party to speak English and perhaps fool my soldiers, calling to them in English not to fire that it was a friend.
"Henry laid about him right and left with his heavy knife, and Roberts released from the grasp of the second-breeds began again to throw hand grenades and exploded them in their midst, and the Germans doubtless thinking it was a host instead of two brave colored boys fighting like tigers at bay, picked up their dead and wounded and shunk away, leaving many weapons and part of their shot riddled clothing and leaving a trail of blood which we followed at dawn near to their lines.
"We feel certain that one of the enemy was killed by rifle fire, two by your husband's boilo, one by grenades thrown by Privete Roberts and several others grievously wounded. So it was in this way the Germans found the black Americans. Both boys have received a citation of the French general commanding the splendid French division in which my regiment is now serving and will receive the Croix de Guerre (cross of war.)
"Some time ago the great General Gourand placed in my hands the sum of 100 frames to be sent to the family of the first one of my soldiers wounded in a fight with the enemy under heroic circumstances. Inasmuch as these boys were wounded simultaneously, and both displayed great heroism, I think it but fair to send to each one-half of this sum. Accordingly I am enclosing New York ex change for the equivalent of 50 frames "I am sure that you have made a splendid contribution to the cause of liberty by giving your husband to your country, and it is my hope and prayer to bring him back to you safe and sound, together with as many of his comrades as it is humanly possible by care and caution to conserve and bring back to America. But it must be borne in mind that we cannot all come back, that none of us can come back until the job is done."

GERMAN ARMY INTERNED.
The state of affairs was fully appreciated by the German authorities whose resistance gradually weakened various strong positions being successively taken as the British column under Colonel Gorges advanced and on the first of January, 1916 he entered Yaunde. The remnants of the German forces had retreated Southward, and successfully evading the various forces despatched to cut his line of march, and the forces on the frontier, they entered Spanish territory on the 4th of February, Herr Ebbenmaier, the Governor, Colonel Zimmermann, his Commander in Chief, his staff and about 820 Germans surrendered to the Spanish authorities and were transported to

CAMEROONS WAS BASE FOR HUN
MITTEL-APRIKA.
In losing the Cameroons Germany lost more than so many square miles of territory. The Cameroons was one of the bases and starting points of her conquest of the world. By persistent effort it was intended to be extended Southward and Eastward till it embraced the Congo Valley and connected up with German East Africa to form a Mittel-Afrika which should dominate the continent as Mittel-Europe was to dominate Europe and the two together were the inner lines on which she was to operate for world mastery.
GERMANY FRUSTRATED
Germany has been driven out and her plan frustrated. She has left in the minds of the people who came under her rule a memory of execration. As a German missionary said, "The sky rang again with an indescribable shout of scorn and rejoicing at their overthrow, while the British and French were everywhere received as deliverers.

and Germany was the revelation of the military value of the Negro soldier. France had long since learned the lesson and had placed the Tirailleurs Sonégais on her European battlefront from the beginning of the war, but there is a note of surprise underlying the eulogia by the English commanders of their troops at the end of the campaign.
GENERAL CUNLIFFE'S TRIBUTE
General Cunliffe in closing his report on his operations writes: "This report would be incomplete were I to conclude without a word of praise to the native rank and file of the Nigerian Regiments, who have borne the brunt of the fighting, as well as to those Natives, the transport carriers, who have toiled incessantly under heavy loads and at times under heavy fire to keep the troops in the field supplied with food and munitions.
THE NIGERIAN REGIMENT.
"The Nigerian Regiment is composed of men of many tribes—their characteristics, traditions and even their languages differ as widely as does the food to which they are accustomed. They have been through the, to them, entirely novel experiences of facing an enemy armed with modern weapons and led by highly trained officers. Their rations have been scanty, their bare-foot marches long and trying, and their fights at times extremely arduous, yet they have not been found wanting either in discipline, devotion to their officers, or personal courage."
GENERAL DOBELL'S COMMENT.
General Dobell writes:
"The troops of the West African Frontier force, with whom I was closely connected in peace, have realized my fullest expectations. To them no day appears to be too long, no task too difficult. With a natural aptitude for soldiering they are endowed with a constitution which enures them to hardship; they share with their Senegalese brothers an inexhaustible fund of good humor. I cannot overlook the good work that has been performed by the West African Carriers; patient, amenable, he has borne his full share in our arduous task."
SIR LUGARD PRAISES NATIVES.
Sir Frederick Lungard, the Governor-General of Nigeria, by whom the West African Frontier Force was originally organized, writes in his dispatch to the Secretary of State covering General Cuntliffe's report of the Native troops, as follows:
"they are capable, as they have proved, of undergoing privations and of performing feats of gallantry which will compare with those of any of the troops of His Majesty's overseas dominions. So far as I can ascertain the high traditions of the force were maintained in relation to the Native populations. Among the large number of troops and carriers booting and ill treatment of the people was unknown."

When you talk about saving money, the average "good timer" will turn his or her head. When you talk about spending money for pleasure, the car is open and ready to hear all that you have to say. When sickness comes and death heaves in sight, regrets are voiced by this same individual. You may argue until your tongue hangs out, during prosperity and no heed is given to what you say. This class of people pay for the folly they practice.
But there is a small proportion of the other kind of people, who are ever ready to take good advice and act upon it. Most of them carry a bank account or are willing so to do. They invest in government bonds and War Savings Stamps and they pay on Christmas Savings Club Cards. They have hopes for the future and when sickness comes, they can meet it with a smile.

97th Annual Session of the New York Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church Ends Notable Session—Delegates Present from every section of the State, together with General Officers of the Church—War and the Negro takes Prominent Place Among Discussion and Conference passes Resolutions Advocating an Educated Ministry and Condemns Lynching of Negro and Jim Crow Cars—
Allen's National News Bureau,
2 West 131 St. New York, N. Y.
June 17, 1918—The 97th annual session of the New York Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church which was held at the Rish Memorial Zion Church of which Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooke is pastor last week has now passed into history and the conference closed one of the most successful years in its long history. During the five days session of the conference grave and vital matters pertaining to the welfare of the Church and of the race were discussed and the part that the Negro is to take in the now World democracy took a prominent place in the discussion at the conference. The conference took high ground and went down on record as standing for an educated minority condemned in strong terms the lynching of Negroes in the South and asked for the abolition of the Jim Crow cars as well as other unjust discrimination to which the Negro suffers in America. Many brilliant and picturesque features characterized the session of the conference, and one of the most remarkable phases of the conference's work was the strong financial condition that was apparent in the way the men met all of their conference claims and supported every means that came up for the general good of the Church. Despite the war all of the churches on the field reported unusual success and your correspondent has never noted more evident prosperity as what was apparent at the conference. For the first time in the history of the conference the women of the church were given a larger place in its affairs and were made to feel that they were integral part of the work of the conference.
Bishop J. C. Caldwell of Philadelphia the noted Zion Churchman and one of the most versatile men on the bench presided at the conference and urged the men to take high ground. He made a plea for a united stand on the part of the men for the coming year, advocated careful preparation for their work and spurred them to a greater endeavor than at any other time in the history of the conference. The bishop has the confidence of the men and they back him up in any legislation that is recommended to them. The impartial manner in which the bishop presided over the confer
ence and his fine ability to keep the control of the men without any effort was one of the inspiring features of conference. Prominent General Officers of the Church among them Hon. J. C. Dancy exrecorder of deeds at Washington and Secretary of the church Extension Society Dr. W. H. Goler for twenty five years President of Livingston College and Financial Secretary of the Church; Dr. J. W. Manton Secretary of Education; Dr. C. S. Whitted Secretary of the Ministerial Broth erhood and Prof. James E. Mason, financial secretary of Livingston College were present and told what the connection was doing throughout the country and said that the work of the Church was never in finer condition than at the present.
The conference was called to order last Wednesday morning and began with an address by Bishop Caldwell who made a review of the past years work and outlined some of the matters that would be taken up at the conference. The celebration of the holy communion which is an annual feature at the conference followed. In the after noon the conference claims were collected and over $2,000 was collected as a part of the work of the conference. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. P. A. Wallace pastor of the Fleet Street Church in Brooklyn.
The conference was formally welcomed to the city at the evening session by Hon. J. G. MacMahon a prominent New York Judge who spoke in behalf of the Mayor John F. Hylan. The Judge praised the Negro and said that after the war a greater respect would be bound to come for all men especially the Negro for his part in the war. He told of his long association with Negroes in the South and said that he had learned to admire their rugged honesty and high character. Assemlyman E. A. Johnson spoke on behalf of the colored citizens; Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks spoke for the clergy and the address of well come on behalf of the Rush Memorial Church was made by Dr. Chas. C. Taylor. The general response was made by Hon. John C. Dancy and the response is said to be the most brilliant ever heard in this country. At the session on Thursday several fraternal delegates from other conferences were present and made addresses. Among the prominent visitors who brought fraternal greetings were Revs. A. Hammum and G. M. Oliver of Philadelphia; T. H. Mop pins; W. O. Battles; T. G. Brown of Washington; D. C.; G. M. Niles of Wakefield N. C.; T. A. Auten of Boston; T. E. Brach of Providence R. I; J. A. MacDowell of Waterbury; Conn. C. C. Williams of Patrion and S. L. Corrothers. Campains Thomas W. Wallace and R. E. Robson, who have been furnished by the Zion Connection to the National Army to administer to the needs of the Negro soldiers in France were present and made stirring addresses prior to their departure for France to take up their duties. They told of the great stand that the Zion Church had taken in doing this patriotic vice and said that it would be their aim to hold up the standard of the church and of the country and their
THE RICHMOND PLANET
race. At the conclusion of their addresses substantial donations were made to them. Chaplains Robeson and Wallace are two of the most promising young men of the church and both gave up brilliant careers in the church to answer the call of the connection to enter the National Service. At the afternoon sessions the presiding elders Rev. L. G. Mason; M. O. Haynes; and F. M. Jacobs made their reports. All of the reports in dicated that the churches of the conference were in good condition and one of the noted features of the report was that no complaint of any sort was made to the bishop that would reflect upon the church. Rev. F. M. Jacobs who for the past nine years has been presiding elder of the Brooklyn District made his last report in that capacity and his retirement from this office was the cause of much regret on the pane of the men. He was made the General Secretary of the Church and the Rev. M. O. Haynes of the Long Island District was given a pastorate and these with one or two transfers were the only changes made in the conference. The New York conference which has a mem borship of 7,000 is the oldest in the connection and one of the largest.
The conference workers made up of women who were appointed by Bishop Caldwell last year to raise $15,000 each for the extension of the work of the conference made their report and brought in over $300,00 for this specific work. It was the first time in the history of the conference that women had such a large place in the affairs of the conference and they were appointed for another year. The afternoon session was given over to the work of the Home and Foreign Missionary Society. The president of the Long Island District Mrs. P. A. Wallace and of the Harlem District, Mrs. S. S. Boyd. The work that was done for the cause of missions was well brought out through the reports and encouraging year was noted.
In the evening a concert was given by the choir of the Rush Memorial Church under the direction of the leader, Prof. H. Gladstone Marshall. A feature of the concert was the work of the Marshall Orchestra. The program consisted of a chorus by the choir; recitation, Miss Juanita Mc Combs; solo, Miss Lillian Galloway, and a solo by Miss Bortha Banks. Bishop Caldwell made an address praising the work that the Negro is doing in music and art. The session on Saturday was one of the most noted of the conference and several interesting addresses were made by prominent men and women of the church. The work that the church is doing for the uplift of Africa was told by Mrs. Henrietta Peters, of Cambridge, Mass., who for the past three years has been representing the Zion connection as missionary.
She told of what the connection had done towards the education of the Natives in Africa and of the erection of the school that is now going up to be controlled by the church for missionary education of the Africans. The conference presented her with $58.00 to aid her in her work in Africa.

The school owns property valued at $200,000 and recently erected a building in honor of ox-President Goler costing $50,000. The State of the Country, through Hon. J. C. Dancy made its report. The report condemned lynching, and the Jim Crow cars and made an appeal that the Negro be given equal place in the new world democracy. Other members of the Committee on State of the Country were: Revs. P. A. Wallace, M. L. Harvey, C. E. McKay, George R. Jones and C. C. Alleyne.
A presentation was then made to Bishop Caldwell on behalf of the conference expressing the esteem and loyalty in which he is held by the men of the conference. The purse was $125.00, and a purse of $55.00 was made to Rev. L. G. Mason, the presiding elder. The crowning service of the con-
ference took place on Sunday. Large gatherings came from the suburban cities. The day began with an old fashioned love-feast, which ran into the morning service, when Bishop W. L. Lee, of Brooklyn preached. In the afternoon, Dr. W. H. Goler, one of the ablest preachers of the country preached one of the most scholar-armons heard in this city. The choir Mother Zion Church furnished music and the service was one of the most impressively
At the evening service Rev. Dr. C. C. Alleyne, editor of The Quarterly Review spoke. This was followed by an address by Bishop Caldwell prior to his reading of the appointments which brought to a close the session. The conference has now passed into history and this old historic conference now enters upon a new epoch of its career. Bishop J. W. Hood the venerate prolate of the connection was unable to be present but the men of his charge remembered him by sending him a donation. The conference will hold an anniversary celebration in the near future.

Most Wonderful Hair
Grower in the World
To-day.
GROWING HAIR has been my record for the past 15 years. Mme. M. E. Johnson's Wonderful Hair Grower is the only Hair Grower in the world to-day that is not made from vaseline. I have handled over 100,000 cases. I have cured the worst case I have ever seen. 15 years experience teaches me vaseline will not grow the hair, so beware of crank hair growers and vaseline fakirs who know less about your hair and scalp than you do. When I tell you I can grow your hair I mean exactly what I say. It makes no difference how bad your case is or what other hair preparation failed or what any so-called quack hair grower says, I guarantee to grow your hair any length you desire it to be.
MY WONDERFUL HAIR GROWERS supply exactly what the scalp requires to start the hair to growing at once. If your hair splits at the ends, breaks off, falls out, won't grow, scalp-itch, scalp too dry, scalp scalded, too much dandruff, hair came out from fever or other sickness, turned gray from worry or trouble, eczema or tetter. Is your hair short, stubby, kinky, thin or bald temples and hard to comb? My Wonderful two months' treatment as shown above will be sent anywhere for $1.35. Send 12 cents extra for postage, to—

PROHIBITION AGENTS USE PISTOLS ON PASSENGERS
J. G. Skelton Describes Outrageous Treatment on Train Between Washington and Richmond.
RAILROAD WILL TAKE ACTION
Officials Are Determined to Break Up Illegal Raiding of Trains, and to Provile Protection of Travelers and Their Baggage.
Vigorous steps for the protection of passengers and their baggage from the activity of special agents representing the State Prohibition Department will be taken by officers of the Richmond Frederickshaw and Potomac Railroad Company it was anounced yesterday following numerous recent raids on the trains of the railroad. Officials declared that the practices of the prohibition agents were not only illegal but that they had assaulted passengers and searched their baggage while en route to this city.
Prohibition agents are reported to have been working with great reguarity in recent weeks. The early train from Washington yesterday was boarded a short distance from Alexan draa and many passengers searched. Persons traveling in sleeping cars were rudely awakened and their baggage examined. Many suit, cases were taken from the train before it arrived in this city. It is presumed that they contained liquor.
PRACTICES OF "DRY" AGENTS
ALARM EAILROAD OFFICIALS
Practices of the prohibition agents have reached such a stage it was declared that action will be taken by the railroad company for the protection of its passengers. The railroad desires to cooperate in the legal enforcement of the prohibition law declared Eppa Hunton, Jr., general counsel yesterday but feels that it owes to passengers and patrons the duty of protecting their person and baggage from unlawful interference. "Commissioner Peters published in the papers this morning," Mr. Hunton said last night, "a statement calling upon the Mayor to support those po liemen who have made mistakes" and illegally searched the baggage of innocent people." Can any fair mind ed man support Mr. Peter's representatives in their violation of the citizens' right of security of person and property by assaults and searches admitted to be illegal and which are of frequent occurrence?
OFFICERS ATTACK RICHMOND
MAN IN OUTRAGEOUS MANNER
Mr. Hunton cited the recent assault upon J. G. Skelton of 1526 West Avenue who was returning to Richmond from Washington. In his trailing bag which he refused to open were certain government plans. Two prohibition agents demanded that the bag he opened and after a heated discussion Mr. Skelton was attacked. Both officers are said to have drawn their revolvers and to have attempted to place handcuffs on Mr. Skelton's wrists. This case has been investigated by the railroad company and the matter laid before Commissioner Peters.
Mr. Skelton described the attack to Mr. Hunton in the following signed statement:
"Referring to my conversation with you relative to my trouble with Officers Payne and Bricker on train No. 55 from Washington to Richmond on the seventh instant, trouble having occurred between Alexandria and Quantico, Va."
"I was sitting in the day coach just ahead of the Pullman by the side of an old gentleman (stranger) reading a newspaper when he turned to me and remarked that some officers were searching the train for whisky. I re plied, "Is that so," and continued reading.
CONDUCTOR HAD PENCILED NO TICE OF AUTHORITY FOR IN QUERY.
"A little later on one of the officers came up looked at my grip and passed on. I paid no attention to him and continued to read for a few minutes after which I went back in the smoke to have a smoke; this apartment being crowded. I walked out in front of the car (vestibule end) and was smoking when the conductor came through. I stopped him and asked if the officers had a right to search a grip without a warrant for the person to whom the same belonged and a sufficient description of the grip to be searched.
"The conductor replied: 'Well, I don't know but here is what I have on it,' and presented a pencil memorandum which he said was a part of the paper which had been served on him. I then remarked to him (conductor that I had no whisky in my grip but that I did have some blue prints and papers in there relative to govern ment business which I did not care for any one to know about and there one would not allow any one to see in my grip unless they produced their authority for doing so or that he (conductor) ordered me to open it, would be present at the time and assured me that the railroad would be responsible for his act.
"While we were engaged in conversation Bricker had walked up and
was standing slightly to my loft and rear and after having listened to the latter part of our conversation said to me, "Where is your grip?" I looked him over and on seeing no badge or anything to indicate that he was an officer and not knowing him replied. That is my business; who are you? He replied, "I am an officer" and turned over the flap of his coat showing a badge. I said nothing and he demanded again, "where is your grip? Both demands were in a rough one of voice and so I replied that I had nothing in my grip that concerned him and that if he wanted the same he would have to get it himself and then produce his authority for enter ing it.
He replied "Damn you I will show you whether you will get it." To this remark I replied that I did not pro pose to he cursed and that if he be reaped it there would be trouble; further that I intended to report him for his speech. He replied "I did not cursse" I told him that he did and that there was a witness. There were two or three passengers standing on the platform by this time.
OFFICERS LAUNCH ATTACK
WITH HANDS AND FEET
"After some words Bricker went back for Officer Payne who came out and who I did not know or recognize as an officer as he had no badge in sight or other indications to distin guish himself from an ordinary citizen. Payne then demanded "Where is your grip?" I told him that the same was back in the car and he said "Go get it." I told him that I would not and that if he wanted it he would have to get it for himself; further that then he was not going into the same unless he produced sufficient evidence to warrant my letting him do so. He said then that he would make me and I told them both to go to it; that they were both my size if not larger.
"More words passed and Bricker grabbed hold of my arm and said he was going to lock me up in the baggage car. I broke away and he struck at me after which we passed blows. Payne entered into the fight at this time and kicked me the blow apparently being aimed at my stomach but landed on my chest duo to a stooped position while in a clinch with Bricker. After freeing myself from them they both pulled their arms and hecked them on me and I sayed "I'll fill you full of holes."
THREATEN PASSENGERS
WITH DRAWN REVOLVERS.
At this time several male passengers were out on the platform and began protesting to the captain who had left and returned with the bag gage man that such treatment to a passenger who had done nothing was an outrage. There was an argument in general for a short time during which time Payne and Bricker put up their guns.
"In the course of about three minutes Payne pulled out handcuffs and handed them to Bricker saying, 'Put them on him we will take him off at the next stop.' I protested as well as the male passengers and baggage man. I told them that I had a sick wife at home and proposed to go to Richmond unless they used their guns and took me off a dead man. He however having unlocked the handcuffs at this time began trying to put them on me. We souffled for a white and I broke away. (third time) Both Payne and Bricker then pulled their guns on me and Payne raising his in a striking positions said, 'I will crush your skull. The passengers and baggage man be gan protesting again and said that they would not stand by and see such dirty work going on.
AGENTS REFUSE TO EXAMINE
MAN'S TRAVELBAG BAG
"After some argument in general, Payne walked off with Mr. Sand Cart to finish an argument with him. At this point I told Bricker that I presumed he wanted to search my grip for whisky he replied 'Never mind the grip.' I told him that I was going to prove to them that they had made tools of themselves and started for my grip. Bricker then drew back with the handcuffs to strike me and said 'Stand where you are you are under arrest.' I then told Bricker that I had no intention whatever of standing up all the way to Richmond and wanted to sit down. He refused this, and repeated that I would be taken off and locked up at the next station.
"Payne returned at this minute and I asked him if he wanted to see in my grip and he replied I do not. I then told them both that they had to look and requested a passenger to get the grip who brought it to me. As I started to open it Bricker turned his head and looked in the opposite direction while Payne looked on at a distance of about five feet. I emptied the grip and the only bottle in it was a bottle of salts which I held in front of Bricker's face and told him I had a great mind to make him eat it.
"At this point Payne said to Brick er 'Let the matter drop,' and to me "Since you are anxious to get home to night on account of your sick wife I am going to let you off.' I told him that so far as letting me off was conceived that I had asked no favors of him and that this was not the end of our trouble. He (Payne) then tried to pat me on the shoulder and said there was a misunderstanding on both sides and to forget it. I told him that I would not that there had been no misunderstanding and that it was my intention to have them both arrested. The train was slowing down at this time and when it stopped they got off. I then went into the baggage car at the baggage man's invitation for obvious reasons.
"Some of the gentlemen passengers who wert present all and a part of the tint were as follows:
"Mr. Sam Carter, Ashland Va.; Mr. L. R. Colbert Fredericksburg, Va.; Mr. Worthington Blanton Richmond, Va.; Mr. C. W. Sampson Richmond, Va.; Mr. Sidney Wilson Richmond, Va.; Mr. Alfred Wilson Richmond, Va."

The other evening she had to step on a platform, which by actual measurement was only six inches high. She stopped and cried the six inch step she had to take, looked up to high Heaven and breathed a sigh, then exclaiming, "Oh, my," she raised one foot upon the platform, then brought up the other one, and all the while SHE RESTED BOTH HANDS ON HER KNEES TO AID.

J. G. Skelton Describes Outrageous Treatment on Train Between Washington and Richmond.
RAILROAD WILL TAKE ACTION
Officials Are Determined to Break Up Illegal Raiding of Trains, and to Prove Protection of Travelers and Their Baggage.
Vigorous steps for the protection of passengers and their baggage from the activity of special agents representing the State Prohibition Department will be taken by officers of the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad Company it was announced yesterday following numerous recent raids on the trains of the railroad. Officials declare that the practices of the prohibition agents were not only illegal but that they had assaulted passengers and searched their baggage while en route to this city.
Prohibition agents are reported to have been working with great regularity in recent weeks. The early train from Washington yesterday was boarded a short distance from Alexan drai and many passengers searched. Persons traveling in sleeping cars were rudely awakened and their baggage examined. Many suit, cases were taken from the train before it arrived in this city. It is presumed that they contained liquor.
PRACTICES OF "DRY" AGENTS ALARM MAILROAD OFFICIALS.
Practices of the prohibition agents have reached such a stage it was declared that action will be taken by the railroad company for the protection of its passengers. The railroad desires to cooperate in the legal enforcement of the prohibition law declared Eppa Hunten, Jr., general counsel yesterday but feels that it owes to passengers and patrons the duty of protecting their person and baggage from unlawful interference
"Commissioner Peters published in the papers this morning," Mr. Hunton said last night, "a statement calling upon the Mayor to support those po licemen who have made misuses" and illegally searched the bargages of innocent people." Can any fair minded man support Mr. Peter's representatives in their violation of the citizens' right of security of person and property by assaults and search admitted to be illegal and which are of frequent occurrence?
---
OFFICERS ATTACK RICHMOND
MAN IN OUTRAGEOUS MANNER
Mr. Hunton cited the recent assault upon J. G. Skelton of 1626 West Avenue who was returning to Richmond from Washington. In his trailing bag which he refused to open were certain government plans. Two prohibition agents demanded that the bag be opened and after a heated discussion Mr. Skelton was attacked. Both officers are said to have drawn their revolvers and to have attempted to place handcuffs on Mr. Skelton's wrists. This case has been investigated by the railroad company and the matter laid before Commissioner Peters.
Mr. Skelton described the attack to Mr. Hunton in the following signed statement:
"Referring to my conversation with you relative to my trouble with Officers Payne and Bricker en train No. 55 from Washington to Richmond on the seventh instant, trouble having occurred between Alexandria and Ounatico, Va."
"I was sitting in the day coach just ahead of the Pullman by the side of an old gentleman (stranger) reading a newspaper when he turned to me and remarked that some officers were searching the train for whisky. I re plied, "Is that so," and continued reading.
CONDUCTOR HAD PENCILED NOTICE OF AUTHORITY FOR INQUERY.
"A little later on one of the officers came up looked at my grip and passed on. I paid no attention to him and continued to read for a few minutes after which I went back in the smoke or to have a smoke; this apartment being crowded, I walked out in front of the car (vestibule end) and was smoking when the conductor came through. I stopped him and asked if the officers had a right to search a grip without a warrant for the person to whom the same belonged and a sufficient description of the grip to be searched.
"The conductor replied: 'Well, I don't know but here is what I have on it,' and presented a penile memorandum dum which he said was a part of the paper which had been served on him. I then remarked to him (conductor) that I had no whisky in my grip but that I did have some blueprints and papers in these relative to govern ment business which I did not care for any one to know about and there one would not allow any one to see in my grip unless they produced their authority for doing so or that he (conductor) ordered me to open it, would be present at the time and assured me that the railroad would be responsible for his act.
"While we were engaged in conversation Bricker had walked up and
was standing slightly to my left and rear and after having listened to the latter part of our conversation said to me, "Where is your grip?" I looked him over and on seeing no badge or anything to indicate that he was an officer and not knowing him replied. That is my business; who are you? He replied, "I am an officer" and turned over the flap of his coat showing a badge. I said nothing and he demanded again, "where is your grip? Both demands were in a rough tone of voice and so I replied that I had nothing in my grip that concerned him and that if he wanted the same he would have to get it himself and then produce his authority for entering it.
He replied "Dann you I will show you whether you will get it." To this remark I replied that I did not pro pose to be cursed and that if he re nected I there would be trouble; further that I intended to report him for a speech. He replied "I did not cursse." I told him that he did and that there was a witness. There were two or three passengers standing on the platform by this time.
OFFICERS LAUNCH ATTACK
WITH HANDS AND FEET.
"After some words Bricker went back for Officer Payne who came out and find who I did not know or recognize as an officer as he had no badge in sight or other indications to distin guish himself from an ordinary citizen. Payne then demanded "Where is your grip?" I told him that the same was back in the car and he said "Go get it." I told him that I would not and that if he wanted it he would have to get it for himself; further that then he was not going into the same unless he produced sufficient evidence to warrant my letting him do so. He said then that he would make me and I told them both to go to it; that they were both my size if not larger.
"More words passed and Bricker grabbed hold of my arm and said he was going to lock me up in the baggage car. I broke away and he struck at me after which we passed blows. Payne entered into the fight at this time and kicked me the blow apparently being aimed at my stomach but landed on my chest duo to a stooped position while in a clinch with Bricker. After freeing myself from them they both pulled their arms and held them on me and Payne said "I'll fill you full of holes."
THREATEN PASSENGERS
WITH DRAWN REVOLVERS.
At this time several male passengers were out on the platform and began protesting to the captain who had left and returned with the bag gage man that such treatment to a passenger who had done nothing was an outrage. There was an argument in general for a short time during which time Payne and Bricker put up their guns.
"In the course of about three minutes Payne pulled out handcuffs and handed them to Bricker saying, 'Put them on him we will take him off at the next stop.' I protested as well as the male passengers and baggage man. I told them that I had a sick wife at home and proposed to go to Richmond unless they used their guns and took me off a dead man. He however having unlocked the handcuffs at this time began trying to put them on me. We souffled for a white and I broke away. (Third time) Both Payne and Bricker then, pulled their guns on me and Payne raising his in a striking positions said, 'I will crush your skull. The passengers and baggage man be gan protesting again and said that they would not stand by and see such dirty work going on.
AGENTS REFUSE TO EXAMINE
MAN'S TRAVELBAG BAG
"After some argument in general, Payne walked off with Mr. Sam Carter to finish an argument with him. At this point I told Bricker that I presumed he wanted to search my grip for whisky he replied 'Never mind the grip.' I told him that I was going to prove to them that they had made tools of themselves and started for my grip. Bricker then drew back with the handcuffs to strike me and said 'Stand where you are you are under arrest.' I then told Bricker that I had no intention whatever of standig up all the way to Richmond and wanted to sit down. He refused this, and repected that I would be taken off and locked up at the next station.
"Payne returned at this minute and I asked him if he wanted to see in my grip and he replied I do not. I then told them both that they had to look and requested a passenger to get the grip who brought it to me. As I started to open it Bricker turned his head and looked in the opposite direction while Payne looked on at a distance of about five feet. I emptied the grip and the only bottle in it was a bottle of salts which I held in front of Bricker's face and told him I had a great mind to make him eat it.
"At this point Payne said to Brick er 'let the matter drop,' and to me "Since you are anxious to get home to night on account of your sick wife I am going to let you off.' I tol him that so far as letting me off was conceived that I had asked no favors of him and that this was not the end of our trouble. He (Payne) then tried to pat me on the shoulder and said there was a misunderstanding on both sides and to forget it. I told him that I would not that there had been no misunderstanding and that it was my intention to have them both arrested. The train was slowing down at this time and when it stopped they got off. I then went into the baggage car at the baggage man's invitation for obvious reasons.
"Some of the gentlemen passengers who went present all and a part of the tint were as follows:
"Mr. Sam Carter, Asaland Va.; Mr. L. R. Coibert Fredericksburg, Va.
Mr. Worthington Blenton Richmond Va.; Mr. C. W. Sampson Richmond Va.; Mr. Sidney Wilson Richmond Va.; Mr. Alfred Wilson Richmond Va."

The other evening she had to step on a platform, which by actual measurement was only six inches high. She stopped and eyed the six inch step she had to take, looked up to high Heaven and breathed a sigh, then exclaiming, "Oh, my," she raised one foot upon the platform, then brought up the other one, and all the while SHE RESTED BOTH HANDS ON HER KNEES TO AID.

The war has made the colored man
popular again, thank God.
Job had a hard time of it when he was alive and there are many Jobs in this day and time.
Nations have forgotten God in prayer, but this war is making these same nations remember Him.
If whiskey is made and sold in this country, it is a pretty safe guess that it will find its way in all parts of this country.
Read race journals, colored folks, read race journals. You are making money enough to pay for them, too, a thing all of you haven't been doing.

Some folks are giving preachers automobiles, in order that they may be able to get along in this world. When a congregation gives its pastor an automobile, it should double his salary in order for him to be able to keep the automobile.
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels declares that colored men have never been suspected of disloyalty to the flag. We hope that when honors are being handed out to the white folks, he will remember this all important fact in dealing with the colored ones. The colored men of this country are not being accorded a square deal in the Navy. Hon. Josephus Daniels and you have the power and the nerve to help in this hour of dire necessity.
It seems strange that the government of the United States, through the medium of the military authorities must provide "wet nurses" for enlisted men, most of whom are married and have wives and children, in order to prevent them from indulging in immorality and contracting venereal diseases. It seems to us if the government will control the soldiers, the city authorities will control the women, who are alleged to have been intimate with the soldiers. It may be that we are violating some of the newly made laws in saying this, but if we have we are not aware of it, and we shall take a chance at it anyway. God save the Government and Woodrow Wilson, the President!
THE WORLD WAR.
Austria has launched the great offensive against Italy and the great drama in France for the time being has been halted. It is estimated that Austria is employing a million and a half of men in the effort to crush the kingdom of Italy. The outlook is gloomy, but the Italians are struggling valiantly against the great northern foo.
In the meantime General Von Hindenburg and his generals are preparing for another desperate drive on Paris and the channel ports with the hope of ending the war in their favor before Winter sets in again.
The United States of America holds the key to the situation. If enough seasoned troops can be thrown into the reserve lines the Allies will win. If enough men cannot be gotten across for this purpose, the Germanic combine will triumph.
It is now said that the bombardment of the coast towns and cities on the Atlantic seaboard is upon the programme. This has intensified the feeling over here and nerved the American people to greater efforts to win in the great contest.

country. This war has been brought to our own shores by the German submarines that now guard the entrances to every port of importance on the Atlantic seaboard.
It is announced that they have not seriously interfered with the transport of troops to France for the reason that these transports go in convoys. That is to say the troop-ships are in the centre, while many war ships sail before, behind and on either side to protect the helpless vessels.
The submarines are preying upon merchant shipping, realizing that after the ships are gotten across to France, much more foodstuffs and supplies must be sent over to supply them, while there. It is announced that Germany will announce formally the blockade of the Atlantic Coast from Canada to Mexico. Whether or not she can make good this blockade is the question.
The submarines sent over here are said to be of a new type and they are so large as to be denominated under-sea cruisers. Submarine destroyers of the old type do not dare come in contact with them. To do so would invite certain destruction,
America must go to the relief of her Allies, be the cost what it may and she is doing this very thing. The cost to the United States Government is staggering, but so much is at stake that everything must be put up to bring about a successful conclusion of this greatest of all struggles.

ROANOKE, VA., June 17—The pulpit of M. Zion A. M. E. Church was filled Sunday morning by Rev. F. L. Hertzfeld, of Baltimore, M.A., converted Jew and one of the ablest men of the African Methodist Conference. He used as a text, St. John 12:21. He made good his claim and all who heard the wonderful discourse were touched by the wonderful instructions out of God's Word by this wonderful divine, who took his audience back to Adam's sons and showed the Divine relationship that existed between man in that remote age of the world and the underlying causes of bitterness, showing that sin had caused these conditions. All willingly must confess that he is a master mind.
At 3:30, at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, Dr. Hertzfeld lectured on the subject, "Why God Allowed This World War." He made it plain from Bible quotations; Judges 5:8, Galatians 6:7-8. The auditorium was filled from the pulpit to the gallery to hear this world-wide subject. The speaker held his audience spellbound for two hours and all would have been pleased to have remained longer.
The Dr. Hertzfeld spoke to the people at St. Paul's Memorial M. E. Church, Sunday night. Quite a large audience was in attendance. All will be glad to have him visit Roseville ag. in.

FULTON NOTES
Rev, N. B. Brown on last Sunday at 11:30 A. M. preached to the familes of his church. He certainly performed well the task. His hearers were enthused. The Sunday School was largely attended.
Mrs. Phyllis Sweet and Mrs. Gracie Booker are very sick. Call and see them. They are among the oldest of our citizens.
The boys in France write all are well. Pittman, Barnes, Edwards, William Walker and many others are over there serving their country faith fully. Our best wishes for the boys over there.
On last Wednesday 47 of our boys left for the camp. The three Churches and Sunday Schools and neighborhood are greatly affected. We are losing some of our best members and scholars.
Rev, J. B. Brown barely escaped being killed by an electric car at the corner of Denny and Gilliam streets. He was on his way to attend a business meeting of his church in Chesterfield on the 14th inst. He and his auto were thrown about 25 feet up against the True Reformer Hall. His car was badly damaged. This is a dangerous place but the motormen seem to forget and rush right on. The Union Church is on one corner and the public school on the other while crowds of people are passing continually, day and night. Yet the cars rush e; We appeal to the Company for the protection of the lives of the public at these particular points. Next week we will tell you all about the boys over there.
Mt. Calvary Sunday School was excellent. 11:30 A. M. Rev. C. A. Colbs preached a real spiritual sermon and the whole church was on fire with the presence of the Holy Ghost. Our collections were $139. 8:30 P. M. Rev Roone lectured to us, which was very nice. Sunday, June 23. 11:30 A. M. Rev, Langhorn will preach. Monday, June 24, there will be a portrait of the Red Riding Hood, under the suspicion of the T. P. Bible Class. M. M. B. Sattfield, Manager; C. B. Jefferson, Teacher. At the above church. Admission, ten cents.

HEAPLUNE
RED LETTER DATE
WILL BE JUNE 28
All Virginians Expected To Pledge
Themselves To Loan Cash To
Uncle Sam On National
War Savings Day.
Reports reaching the headquarters
of the National War Savings Committee
of Virginia indicate that every patriotic man, woman and child in the State has marked June 28, as a red letter day on the calendar of 1918. It is the day when each will make his or her pledge to loan to Uncle Sam certain amounts of money, the investments to be made through the medium of War Savings Stamps. This money is needed to help run the Government and must be paid in before December 31, 1918.
Every one who pledges his money to Uncle Sam is going to take an interest in whether or not his next door neighbor does the same. And if he does not, he will make it his business to ask Mr. Neighbor "why not?" The campaign for War Stamp pledges will not be a long one, but it will be a strenuous one and at its end Uncle Sam will know just who are the patriotic citizens of his country and who are not. He is interested, as is all Washington, and the entire country, in knowing who he can depend upon in times of stress, like the present. And, if he cannot depend on all who enjoy the blessed privileges of his land, he wants to know what is wrong with him that they do not uphold him and his government.
The day—June 28—is a show down! War Savings Stamps, which are United States Government bonds; the same as Liberty Bonds, can be paid for during any month in the year 1918, but it is intended that they will be signed for on June 28. The price of each War Savings Stamp depends upon the month during which it is bought. During June each stamp will cost $4.17; in July it will cost $4.18, and on 1 cent more each month during 1918. On January 1, 1923, Uncle Sam will redeem every War Savings Stamp for $b, regardless of the month during which it was bought.
The law provides that no person can hold in his own name War Savings Stamps exceeding $1,000 maturity value. The War Savings Stamps, however, may be purchased for other members of the family, including minor children. If, because of some serious financial reverses, or calamity, it should be necessary to get all or part of the money before January 1, 1923, one may do so by giving ten days' notice to any money order postmaster, in which case one may get the money paid for the stamps, with interest to date of payment. The stamps are free from all State and local taxes; when registered at the postoffice they are insured against loss.

"Virginians, as well as all American men, women and children, should realize that they are the ones the Government depends upon to win the war, and they can render the most far-reaching patroltic service through self-denial." This statement was made by Eugene R. Jones, State Director of War Savings Societies, in response to a question of how Virginians could best serve their country if not among those who are with the land or sea forces.
"Through the medium of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps," Mr. Jones continued, "the Government has placed at the disposal of all pocketbooks an investment which has no superior from the standpoint of security. Any banker will support me in the statement that they are the best investment in the world.
"To bring the man, the woman or the child into close touch with the nation-wide thrift movement War Savings Societies have been formed and others are now in the process of organization. These societies are of real value to the members, because they serve not only to stimulate practical patrolism but to spread the gospel of thrift and economy. They teach the lesson of serving one's country while helping oneself. War Savings Society members pledge themselves to support the Government by refraining from unnecessary expenditures, by practicing systematic saving and by inducing others to become members of the society with which they are
affiliated. I will be glad to furnish all information concerning War Savings Societies, how organized and conducted." Mr. Jones may be reached at the headquarters of the National War Savings Committee of Virginia, Postoffice Building, Richmond.
WOMEN'S BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION OF VIRGINIA.
The last session of the Convention held in connection with the Judicee Celebration on Seminary Hill, was indeed a record breaker, returning to the place of its birth twenty two years of age and more than twenty two times its size and strength. This year we meet in Richmond, Virginia with the circle of Thirty first Street Baptist Church corner Thirty First and O streets, Rev, R. C. Williams D. D., pastor 2809 Thirty fourth street; Phone Randolph 4332-J; President of the Circle; Mrs. Julia Dan dridge, 900 Twenty sixth street; June 20-23, 1918.
Delegates and visitors will pay one dollar per day for accommodation. All persons expecting to attend should send in their names thirty days prior to the meeting.
The convention is considering the proposition offered by Mrs. Queen Miller to take over at the death of Mr. and Mrs. Miller the Hayes Memorial Orphanage at Staunton, Va. Attorney for the Convention will investigate and report at the next session.
The "Battle Cry" is Two Thousand Dollars. We cannot afford to fall be low last year. We want to pay off the debt on the dormitory and turn our attention to the much needed hos pital. We contraced to pay one thousand and dollars on the Dormitory each year and it takes about five hundred for conventional expenses besides there are several other objects in our letter form which we must contribute to.
Each member should contribute through their Circle or otherwise not less than two dollars. All life members and friends not connected with a cir ce should contribute at least one dollar.
