AN ANNOUNCEMENT We respectfully desire to make this simple statement in announcing the purchase of 00 Clay street which, after the contemplated repairs and equipment have been installed will become the permanent headquarters of the Spartan Literary and Athletic Association. In thus seeking to in crease the efficiency of this organization as a social agency in this community we are actuated by but one controlling motive and that is to be able to serve with others wherever services are needed. With this idea ever uppermost in our minds we shall assidiously strive to cooperate with other agencies and to refrain from duplication in any line of endeavor. If at any time during the past we have apparently wandered into the path of inconsistency and lost sight of the great purpose to which we owe our existence, we have not journeyed thither with contempt for any prevailing opinions but because the exigencies of the hour permitted of no other alternative. We are, there fore pausing upon this the very three hold of greater possibilities to express our gratitude for the generous sup port which has attended our efforts in the past and to submit the future of this organization to the sympathetic consideration of a progressive and intelligent citizenry. We also desire to publicly thank Mr. S. W. Robinson, Jr., who engineered the transaction and Attorney James T. Carter whose astute mind provided this as sociation with every conceivable legal safeguard. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1918. JOHN JASPER MONUMENT UNVEILED. NOTED BIBLICAL SCHOLAR'S REMAINS NOW REST IN WOODLAND CEMETERY. Imposing Exercises--Rev. Dr. Peyton Presides Large Crowd Listens to Fine Addresses. Memorial exercises over the remains of Rev. John Jaster and the unveiling of the monument to his memory in Woodland Cemetery Thursday, July 17th was a great success. Thousands of people wounded their way there in the afternoon and roved over the cemetery ground, and over the grounds of the park adjacent. Rev. R. V. Peyton, D. D., the popular and influential pastor was on the scene. The west portion of the mansion in the cemetery had been artistically and beautifully decorated with national colors. THE GRANITE SHAFT At nearly the blightest point in the cemetery, Contractor 4, Henry Brown had erected the granite shint in Rev. John Jasper's memory and it was wilted from sight. While the exercises had been scheduled to commence at 13:30 P. M. it was about 5:45 before the large crowd was cured to order and the exercises began. Rev. R. V. Peyton, D. D. was Master of Ceremonies and right well did he perform the task. The Temple Choir rang in few choirs have gone up before. DR. PEYTON'S REMARKS Roy, Dr. Fertyn made a brief and eloquent it. It seemed that the removal of the remittance of Roy, John Linder was due to the unknown conditions prevailing in the old cemetery in Kirkton, Durham and the inability to secure ready access to the same. The Church had decided upon the removal of the remains and the site was selected. Roy, Jacob Turner groove on "Memories of the Past." Him, John Mitchell, Jr, was introduced and he spoke on, "Roy, Jasper As I Know Him." He gave a graphic account of his childhood experiences in listening to the fervid oratory of this great preacher. EDITOR MITCHELL SPEAKS He told of the effort to establish Woodford Cemetery, of the desire of the colored people on Shoockoe Hill to have a cemetery in the Northern section of the city. He pointed out the roadway that had been named after Rev. John Jusper and on this roadway, the remains of the distinguished divine now rested, Mr. Mitchell was applauded and at the conclusion of his remarks, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D., pastor of the Second Baptist Church was introduced, Rev. Dr. Lewis proceeded to speak and at first, he declared that all that was necessary had been said and much that he had intended to say had been spoken. REV. DR. LEWIS PARALYZED He proceeded to deliver an address however and near the conclusion, it was seen that he was failing. Persons near to him grasped him as he slowly sank down and he was carried inside of the house. Dr. R. E. Jones ministered to him and the exercises proceeded. Rev. S. P. Robinson delivered an eloquent address, after which benediction was announced. Rev. Dr. Lewis wanted to run his own car home but it was seen that his condition would not permit him so to do. He was carried home, though, in his own car. WANTS TO GET UP. It was ascertained that he had suffered a slight stroke of Paralysis, his left side being affected. He joked with his attendants. He has since steadily improved and he is now able to move his leg which previously had been out of commission. In his room at his residence, 202 East Leigh street he is being attended by two trained nurses, although he insists upon getting up and going about. The doctor will not permit this, however. A BEAUTIFUL SITE. The committees of the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church have been commended for the thoroughness of their work and many people have been out to see the final resting place of this distinguished Biblical scholar. A large wreath is suspended from the granite shaft and flowers, growing in profusion on the grave add to the beauty of the scene. A base has been left for the marble figure of a Recording Angel. It may be well to state that before the exercises commenced Sisters Anna Reed and Mrs. Parker Ellott unveiled the shaft and Rev. R. Beecher Taylor offered a tentive prayer. The following are the committees: Committee on Monument, A. L. Woodtoll, chairman; J. L.

Navy Wants Colored Men The Naval Reserve has at the present time some unusually attractive openings for colored men. For a call has been received at the Naval Reserve Enrolling Office asking that men experienced as stewards or cooks be secured at office. Such men as can show the necessary qualifications will be given the ratings of Warrant Officers' swords or Officers' Cooks. Their duties will include taking charge of the officers' mess preparing menus, etc. These ratings pay well and afford to those who hold them the opportunity of doing the same kind of work that they have been doing in civil Life. As the opportunity for enrolling in the above ratings may permit at any time it is advisable that colored men who wish to get into the Naval Reserve at better pay than they could ordinarily obtain should come to the Enrolling Office and apply immediately. Men who are in the draft can join this service if they prefer it to the army. The only requirement is that the applicant if registered secure a release from his local board. He is then eligible for immediate enrollment in the Naval Reserve. All enrollments are for the duration of the war as far as active service is concerned. The Naval Reserve Enrolling Office in Norfolk is located at the corner of Main and Granby Streets.

We respectfully desire to make this simple statement in announcing the purchase of 00 Clay street, which, after the contemplated repairs and equipment have been installed will become the permanent headquarters of the Spartan Literary and Athletic Association. In thus seeking to in crease the efficiency of this organization as a social agency in this community we are activated by but one controlling motive and that is to be able to serve with others wherever services are needed. With this idea ever uppermost in our minds we shall assiduously strive to co-operate with other agencies and to refrain from duplication in any line of endeavor. If at any time during the past we have apparently wandered into the by paths of inconsistency and lost sight of the great purpose to which we owe our existence, we have not journeyed thither with contempt for any prevailing opinions but because the exigencies of the hour permitted of no other alternative. We are, there fore pausing upon this the very three hold of greater possibilities to express our gratitude for the generous sup in the past and to stimulate the future of this organization to the critical consideration of a progressive and intelligent citizenship. We also desire to publicly thank Mr. S. W. Robinson, Jr. who engineered the transaction and Attorney James T. Carter whose astute mind provided this as association with overly conceivable legal safeguard. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1918. JOHN JASPER MONUMENT UNVEILED. NOTED BIBLICAL SCHOLAR'S REMAINS NOW REST IN WOODLAND CEMETERY. Imposing Exercises--Rev. Dr. Peyton Presides. Large Crowd Listens to Fine Addresses. Memorial exercises over the remains of Rev. John Jasper and the unveiling of the monument to his memory in Woodland Cemetery Thursday, July 4th was a great success. Thousands of people wended their way there in the afternoon and strolled over the cemetery grounds and over the grounds of the park adjacent. Rev. R. V. Peyton, D. D., the popular and influential pastor was upon the scene. The west portico of the cemetery library had been artistically and beautifully decorated with national colors. THE GRANITE SHAFT At nearly the highest point in the cemetery, Contractor J. Henry Brown had erected the granite shaft in Rev. John Jasper's memory and it was velled from sight. While the excavation was underway, the mance at 4:30 P. M. it was about 5:15 before the large crowd was called to order and the excercises began. Rev. R. V. Poyton, D. D. was Master of Ceremonies and right well suited to the task. The Temple Choir sang its few choreos have ever sang before. DR. PEYTON'S REMARKS. Rev. Dr. Peyton made a brief address. It seems that the removal of the remains of Rev. John Jasper was due to the unkempt conditions prevailing in the old cemeteries in Barton Heights and the inability to secure ready access to the same. The Church had decided upon the removal of the remains and the site was selected. Rev. Jacob Turner spoke on "The Church of Our Past." Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. was introduced and he spoke on, "Rev. Jasper As I Know Him." He gave a graphic account of his childhood experiences in listening to the fervid oratory of this great preacher. EDITOR MITCHELL SPEAKS He told of the effort to establish Woodland Cemetery, of the desire of the colored people on Shoekoe Hill to have a cemetery in the Northern section of the city. He pointed out the roadway that had been named the Mitchell Road, the roadway, the remains of the distinguished divine now rested. Mr. Mitchell was applauded and at the conclusion of his remarks, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D., pastor of the Second Baptist Church was introduced. Rev. Dr. Lewis proceeded to speak and that was necessary had been said and much that he had intended to say had been spoken. REV. DR. LEWIS PARALYZED. He proceeded to deliver an address however and near the conclusion, it was seen that he was falling. Persons near to him grasped him as he slowly sank down and he was carried inside of the house. Dr. R. E. Jones ministered to him and the exercises proceeded. Rev. S. P. Robinson delivered an eloquent address, after whom he was welcomed. Dr. Rev. Lewis wanted to run his own car home but it was seen that his condition would not permit him so to do. He was carried home, though, in his own car. WANTS TO GET UP. It was ascertained that he had suffered a slight stroke of Paralysis, his left side being affected. He joked with his attendants. He has since steadily improved and he is now able to move his leg which previously had been out of commission. In his room at his residence, 202 East Leigh Hospital, he is trained nurses, although he insists upon getting up and going about. The doctor will not permit this, however. A BEAUTIFUL SITE. The committees of the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church have been commended for the thoroughness of their work and many people have been out to see the final resting place of this man. The large wreath is suspended from the granite shaft and flowers, growing in profusion on the grave add to the beauty of the scene. A base has been left for the marble figure of a Reverend John C. McCarthy state that before the exorcises commenced Sisters Anna Reed and Mrs. Parker Elllett unveiled the shaft and Rev. R. Deecker Taylor offered a forwent prayer.

Navy Wants Colored Men The Naval Reserve has at the present time some unusually attractive openings for colored men. For a call has been received at the Naval Reserve Enrolling Offices asking that men experienced as stewards or cooks be secured at once. Such men as can show the necessary qualifications will be given the ratings of Warrant Officers' stewards or Officers' Cooks. Their duties will include taking charge of the officers' mess preparing menus, etc. These ratings pay well and afford to those who hold them the opportunity of taking the same kind of work that they are doing in civil life. As the opportunity for applite in the above ratings may terminate at any time it is advisable that colored men who wish to get into the Naval Reserve at better pay than they could ordinarily obtain should come to the Enrolling Office and apply immediately. Men who are in the draft can join this service if they prefer it to the army. The only requirement is that the applicant if registered secure a release from his local board. He is then eligible for immediate enrollment in the Naval Reserve. All enrollments are for the duration of the war as far as active service is concerned. Enrolling Office in Norfolk is located at the corner of Main and Granby Streets. Colored men who wish to avail themselves of the present openings should lose no time inapplying at this office.

TWO HEY DANET DISMISSAL OF POLICE OFFICERS SOUGHT BY COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY Chief of Headquarters Captain Among Those Against Whom Grand Jury Allegations Are Lodged—Probably Speedy Trials. Complaints against Chief of Police C. A. Sherry Captain George E. Pollock; Detective Sergeant Louis Bertueci and Patrolman C. A. Srain were filed in the hustings court this morning about 10:30 o'clock by Common wealth's Attorney George E. Wise. They are the long expected ouster proceedings. Following the filing of the charges Judge Richardson ordered that rules be issued in accordance with the law returnable in not less than five days nor more than ten. It was suggested by Mr. Wise that the cases be set for next Friday though the court did not announce any decision on the subject. Only one of the accused policemen was in court and that was Chief of Police Sherry now under suspension, Announcement was made by Attorney Gilbert K. Pollock to the commonwealth's Attorney that his clients desired at once to enter pleas for abate rent which is the first legal procedure of the defense under the law. This is similar to a motion to quash and is expected to be on the ground that the complaints are made without any witnesses being given and without any dates or names being mentioned save that of the commonwealth's attorney. In each of the cases the commonwealth appears as the sole complainant. DATE NOT MENTIONED. Mr. Wise did not commit himself to any date but indicated that he would probably be prepared to argue pleas for abatement Tuesday. The complaint charges each man with the offenses alleged by the grand jury. The preamble to the charges is brief and simply recites that the commonwealth's attorney acting in accordance with the recommendations of the grand jury sets forth the charges which follow. In the complaint against Chief of Police Sherry there are seven counts. In the case of Captain Potlock five counts are in the complaint Four counts are in the complaint against Detective Sergeant Bertruci and two in that against Patrolman Strain. Each petition for ouster, being signed by Commonwealth's Attorney Wise before a notary—William Breeden—lists the several grand jury charges against the respective defendants. Chief Sherry is accused of having been derelict and negligent in the performance of his sworn duties and with having been under the malign influence of the "disorderly" element. Captain Pollock is charged with disorderly conduct in that he appeared on duty in an intoxicated condition. Detective Sergeant Bernuci is accused of frequenting gambling houses and Policeman Strain with accepting money for liquor.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR ..... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ..... 80 THREE MONTHS ..... 40 FOREIGN SUBSCRIPTIONS ..... $2.00 The ability of the United States to engage in a successful war is admitted. We shall reach Heaven some day although some of us may be slow about going there. Whenever some new scheme is to be boosted in some quarters, the "Win the war" slogan is first used as a prelude. The government at Washington is calling upon the people of the country to pray for victory in the great fight against Germany. The collapse of Russia was an unfortunate occurrence for the civilized world for it gave the Germans and their allies a new lease of life and they have taken advantage of it. The high cost of living is going higher. They are eating horse meat in Europe now to enable the people to have a cheaper meat diet and it is reported that some of this same kind of meat is being sold in this country. The National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, Rev. Dr. E. P. Jones, D. D., President, if its views are reflected by its Executive Board is not in favor of peace at this time. That body has rejected the findings of the recent peace conference at Memphis. Tenn. in which its representatives participated and reached an amicable agreement. Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd and President Jones are reported to have been first and foremost in opposing the peace agreements. Rev. Dr. Stokes' Automobile Rev, Dr. William H. Stokes on last Thursday, in trying to avoid striking a wagon ran into a fence on Adams street, near Pullman street, and slightly bent the fender to the car and the bumper. No one was injured. CALL FOR THE VIRGINIA BAPTIST STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. 2119 Marshall Ave., Newport News, Va. To the Officers, Missionaries and Coworkers of the Baptist State Sunday School Convention of Virginia at the First Baptist Church, Rev, R. H. Bowling, Pastor. Dear Friends: The Convention will meet in Norfolk, on the 21st of August at 9:00 A. M. The first session will be held Tuesday evening, at 8:00 P. M. and all the schools in the State are asked to send delegates or messengers. This will be one of the best sessions in our history and schools are asked to send a liberal contribution. It is imperative that you send representatives because matters of vital interest will be discussed regarding ecclesiastic work and business relating to the body politic. Living as we are in one of the most eventful epochs in the world's history, it is urgent and wise that delegates from all hamlets, districts and cities meet this year to compare notes, take an inventory of "stock" and prepare for future service. We usually gain inspiration at these meetings and this is why we should assemble in large numbers to renew our efforts, gain inspiration at these meetings and this is why we should assemble in large numbers to renew our efforts, gain inspiration to aid us in the continuation of our work, "lest we forget" and become pessimistic. The Pastor, Superintendent and officers of the Church and School are preparing to take care of all who may come. A scholarly and unique program has been arranged and all will be benefited who may come. J. S. LEE, President. J. K. TRENT, Corres. Secretary.

I left for Roanoke July 5, 6:57 o'clock Mr. Ned Hurt, of Goodview had an entertainment in progress all day and until the weeone hours of the night.

It is a most beautiful section of the country amid the mountains of Virginia. The tenth annual sermon of the Daughters of Pocahontas was delivered at the High Street Baptist Church, Sunday evening, at three o'clock by Rev. Lee.

It was a grand sermon and all who missed hearing it missed a rare treat and some wholesome instruction, Mrs. Lace J. Day is Pocahontas of the Order. Mrs. Nellie Follis of Seventh avenue passed away after a useful life. She was the widow of the Rev. Follis of Roanoke, who died several years ago.

Mrs. B. B. Bartee, of 226 Fifth avenue has returned home from Burrell's Memorial Hospital, where she went for a treatment. She is feeling much improved. Sunday morning Rev. George C. Taylor delivered a very rich discourse to a full house. All were benefited. At 8.30 at Mt. Zion A. M. F.

It was reported that the girl attempted to catch onto the truck, misjudged the speed of the car and ran right in front of it. LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER Things alm'the same since 'Strangler' went away,—at least this is true on 'Wall Street', that is Gainsboro Avenue. It is as quiet as a country church yard the Sunday after a big camp meeting. Yes, our old friend has really gone and things can't be the same with Strangler away. Dr. H. J. Moseley, who has been one of the shining nights on Gainsboro for over six years, connected with the Burrell Drug Store for that length of time, is now back in his home city, Norfolk, the city of war talk, by the mighty Atlantic, and everybody misses Strangler, for he was a jolly good fellow, paramount in the different lodges of this city and a 33rd degree member of the Royal Order of Hogs and just to show what the Hogs thought of Strangler they pulled off one for him, Saturday night in their style at Tates Taylor Shop. Strangler had kept it a secret when he was going to leave, but it leaked out Saturday that he was to go Sunday night, so Ding-It Hughes got busy and at twelve o'clock Saturday night, a bunch of Hogs went to Strangler's quarters and brought him down and to a feast fit for a king,—Stuffed olives, pickles, sliced tomatoes, ham and pimento cheese sandwiches, potato salad, bevo and ham-bean, 'cept what Dip Done (Calloway) didn't kill before he came to the blow-out. Believe me, it was some blow-out. While I may be a poor judge of a big time (as I don't know much about big-timing) I think this would pass muster anywhere, even in the little village by the Hudson and when cats had been duly and truly honored by all present, W. B. F. Crowell, who was toastmaster, made some opening remarks and pulled one or two of his famous stunts and stories, then introduced the following Hogs, who responded to toasts: Thomas J. Hackley, Walter Johnson, Austin Marshall, Westley Robinson, (Nail-Driver) Brown, Charles W. Poindexter, (Ding-It) Hughes, (Proper) Tate and then our guest of honor, Dr. H. J. Moseley (Strangler) who spoke feelingly of his departure from the Magic City. All expressed regrets that we must lose Dr. Mosley, but he said he would return some day soon. Dr. Mosley will spend most of the Summer at his home in Norfolk and after the National Medical Association meets in Richmond, where he is to read a paper, he will join the colors, in the Medical Department and perhaps cross to No-Man's Land for our Uncle Sam. We know he will make good and the best wishes of Roanoke go with him for success. All who knew Strangler liked him, the better you know him the better you liked him. That is true even with the ladies. We know one who is quite sad and so are we, and as the toastmaster said in his closing remarks, "Our hopes, our prayers, our tears, are all, with thee. Our hopes, our prayers, our teas, our fears, our faith triumphant over our fears, are all with thee,—are all with thee." We shall ever remember you, Strangler, and await your return with open arms. Oh! I forgot to say, Charlie Poindexter took Ding-It's job and said the blessing and gave as his excuse that Ding-It's blessing is too long. J. Fountain Duke is expecting to be called to the Army, and what holds my mind is, why in the Hampton did Duke register. The law is and has been, 21 to 31, and if Duke had registered between his 21st and 31st birthdays he could have been in time for the battle of Bull Run. In fact, I think Duke was there and run, for all who didn't run are there yet, and Duke still has bull or most of him. Funny how some folks never get caught. Poor Duke, I hope he will stay here and help poor little mo look after things. I need him. If Duke took a trip around the world, he would never go to Holland because they make their own wind-mills there and they couldn't use him in Mexico because they stab the bull there, they don't shoot him and that is where Duke shines.

THE FUTURE MUST LIVE UP TO W. S. S. PLEDGES Systematic Purchase Of Stamps Will Help Virginiana To Fulfill Promises To Government—How War Savings Societies Operate. It is now the patriotic duty of all Virginians who signed pledge cards promising to invest certain sums in War Savings Stamps before the close of the year to see that their vows are made good. The best way to do this is to figure how to reach the total pledged by weekly or monthly purchases. This will not only insure the investment of the sums pledged, but will accomplish the purpose through systematic saving, which is one of the principal aims of the great thrift movement, which was inaugurated by the United States Government to help finance the war and at the same time to educate spend-thrift Americans in the habit of economy. In a letter to State Director Thomas B. McAdams, Bishop D. J. O'Connell, head of the Catholic Church in Virginia, expresses his opinion on this subject as follows: "It seems to me that one of the very best ways of teaching our children lessons of thrift and of patriotism at the same time is to train them to the habit of buying War Savings Stamps, and we all know that example is the best way of teaching. By promoting this movement we help our country and our children at the same time." War Savings Societies. With the intensive drive of June a thing of the past, the National War Savings Committee of Virginia is now centering most of its activities on War Savings Societies. In this connection Eugene R. Jones, State Director of War Savings Societies, said: "The primary idea of a War Savings Society is to foster and stimulate the savings habit among its members, and to invest the money saved in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. You see, the idea is that the society is a purchasing agency, not a selling agency and the direct duty of its members is the accumulation of War Savings Stamps, but of course this is not meant to imply that they should in any way curtail their activities if engaged also in the sale of stamps. "It is very obvious that a group of people associated together with a definite aim and cone on purpose, can accomplish more than the same number of individuals working independently. Hence the War Savings Society, "The aim and purpose of the present Thrift Campaign is clearly expressed in the pledge which each person signs if he wishes to become a member of a society, and with the knowledge of its significance thus obtained he becomes an integral part of a vast machine for turning out unlimited thrift. Hence the pledge. "To co-ordinate and direct this movement the National War Savings Committee has provided that each society organized in accordance with its very simple requirements shall be directly affiliated with it, somewhat in the nature of a sub-committee of the whole United States Government, and requires the organization in a concrete form by giving a certificate to that effect. Hence the charter. "It is an honor to be an enlisted member of any organized society for proving its patriotism by deeds, such as saving, thrift and economy, and in recognition of this the United States Government has provided a distinctive badge for all who serve their country in this way. Hence the button. "Don't forget the plodge you signed when you unlisted. Be loyal and active under the charter that recognizes your society as a part of the Government machinery for winning the war, and you can wear your button honorably and proudly." —W. S. S.— To the little town of Windsor, Isle of Wight county, belongs the distinction of being the first in Virginia to "go over the top." Announcing this fact, State Director McAdams received the following telegram from Director Holloway, of Isle of Wight: "Town of Windsor has gone over the top, buying her quota War Savings Certificates." —W. S. S.— Make Thrift your by-word. —W. S. S.— Saving is not sacrificing. —W. S. S.— Labor and material are essential to victory; use both sparingly. —W. S. S.— Many are giving their lives; you are asked only to lend your money. DO YOU KNOW HIM? Will some one kindly furnish me the whereabouts of Leonard McGill and inform The Planet Office.

College opened its Nineteenth Annual Summer School Session June the 24th with bright prospect for the largest summer school in the history of the college. The college dormitories are used by the United States War Department for a Training Camp. The soldiers are being taught to repair automobiles, tractors, trucks and to do heavy car pentry work such as is used in bridge construction. The Government has sent to the college 268 draftees all from Washington. These men have at least a Grammar School education. Among the number can be found graduates of the leading colleges and some professional men. The camp is commanded by six commissioned officers, all white. The instruction in the Mechanical work is being taught by the teachers in the Mechanical Department of the A. and T. College. The Negroes in Greensboro have been very patriotic. When they learned that the dormitories and a part of the grounds were to be used for the training of soldiers, they opened their homes to the reception of the school teachers. The college has a list of approved homes that will accommodate as many summer school teachers as could be accommodated in our dormitory.

BALTIMORE ITEMS. Baltimore, June 27.—The annual commencement of the Colored High School was held Wednesday evening June 26 at the Lyric. There were 81 graduates. The address to the graduates was delivered by Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon. His subject was "No Triumph Without Sacrifice." He spoke in part as follows: "You have reached the first rung of the ladder of your academic career for which you are entitled to receive the congratulations of your fellows. I congratulate you, therefore in the name of the race and the friends of the race upon the distance you have already come. You are however only standing in the anteroom of the abode of the Muses. You are entitled to advance to the second rung of the ladder of universal knowledge. Here the scales of conceit will fall from your intellectual eyes, and you will learn in your classic humiliation that you are but upon the shores of the great ocean of knowledge gather a few pebbles here and there. The discoveries and inventions of the age serve but to emphasize the fact that the most distinguished intellects of the day are yet at the outer rim of knowledge. M. General Sir Irl. Horne is reckoned as one of the ablest commanders attached to the staff of General Douglas Halg. IN ALSACR ace, held by the Germans for forty and is a part of the front line held the French soldiers shown are bring- men. I warn you against the awful sin of conceive so prevalent among undergraduate and intellectual Lilliputians. The triumphs which you have won reveal the sacrifices of others as well as yourselves. The con graduations which we give you are not for your only, but for your parents as well. Let not the glitter of fame or prosperity or the false estimate of society ever tempt you to forget them. "Let me exhort you to never forget those of your race still in ignorance and bondage. Education in its broadest and most liberal sense signifies service. The city after giving you a liberal education at the expense and sacrifice of the taxpayers is sending you forth with authority to serve your day and generation. The eyes of this great audience are upon you. We send you forth with congratulations and our blessings and we exhort you to act well your part in the drama of life." In an address at the commencement of the Colored Teacher's Training School Thursday evening June 27, Dr. William Pickens vice president of Morgan College declared that had education been generally diffused among the race at present that it would be in a better position to urge that any program of world democracy must include the colored people. He BANKING Money is plentiful in some places and scarce in some others. Many, who are making money are spending it and some who are doing the country service are saving up the tips for the rainy day. It will be well for everybody to look out for the time when present conditions will change. Buy land now and see to it that you are doing your part in helping the world war campaign. At the same time, open a bank account and acquire the habit of saving money regularly. If parents will induce their children to save when they are young, the habit will increase with age. Some people do not like to get up early in the morning and they do not like to go to bed early at night. The old adage was, "Early to bed, early to rise will make you healthy, wealthy and wise." This is as true today as it was the first time the statement was made. But even though you may not be wealthy, be independent to the extent of having money saved up to keep you from future want.
