I left Richmond, Saturday night, at about 8:30 via R. F. and P. R. R. in the palatial Pullman parlor car. It reminded me of the days preceding these of governmental control. When I reseched Elba Station on West Broad Street, a white compartment. One was an elderly white passenger and the other was a vivacious white miss. While not distressing but being obliged to hear, the former resided in Richmond and the latter was from Atlanta, Georgia, and had recently come to Richmond to work. MET AND PARTED The passenger paid the lady's Pulitma fare and made fruitful offers to have her name to see him in Washington. She skillfully parried all of these advances. Before parting, however, he took off a knife from an evening newspaper, after having scribbled a few lines there on. She promised to see him some three times. She had succeeded in mesmerizing him and he seemed to have conquered a stage where he was oblivious of his surroundings. WAITING FOR A TRAIN. The train arrived in Washington at 11:40 P.M. and the 6 O'clock train for Chicago was due to arrive at 12:30 A.M. It was about fifteen minutes late. I not Prof. John R. Hawking, of the A. M. K. Church, who was en route to Clarksville, W. Va. I was soon about the Pollinator car and a few minutes later was in bed. A hand thrust through the enclosure with a cell for the pet was seen and a few minutes later the creator I was in "the land of dreams." The next morning I heard a baby crying, I presumed that passengers who were to leave the car had arisen early. I dozed for some time and then I heard a commotion. I looked at my watch. It was seventeen minutes to eight o'clock. THE PORTER KNEW. I got up and dressed. I was soon, in the washroom, then back again, while I watched the norter make down the berths of the passengers. He was from Roanoke, Va. I told him my name, "I used to take your paper" he said, "I have seen your picture. I live now in Jersey City." As I sat in a partially made up berth, an officer in the army slid down from the berth above Later, he returned from the washroom and he made himself sociable. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF COLORADO. His name was Major C. C. Davidsoo, of Denver, Colorado. He had a wife and one child and he was enroute home on a furough to see them before leaving for the front. He was formerly Inspector General of Colorado. He said that he had been nine years in the service. He had advanced from the rank of private to that of major. A MASTER OF HORSES I saw that he wore spurs. I asked him about horses and he said that he knew all about them. He had learned to ride horses as a cow boy. He told me about the bronchos. They are unlike the other members of the "horse family." They are tricky. He had been thrown many times. Major Davidson was accompanied by several other officers. He had been inspector of troops going to France from Newport News, Va. THE EIGHTH ILLINOIS He had inspected the Eighth Illinois Regiment and he was acquainted with Colonel Dennison, who has recently been invalided to this country and sent to a base hospital. He described Colonel Dennison as being a large man and the Eighth Illinois as being a fine bunch of fellows. He had examined 5,000 colored troopers, being shipped to France.

The Baptist General Association of Virginia will convene in august session Wednesday before the third Sunday in October 1915, with the Elenezzer Baptist Church, Petersburg Virginia. The intercept between the last session and the coming one will exceed that of any other in the history of the association due to the change in the date of our meeting. Because of this change and to avoid the possibility of any retraining that might arise we are taking this method to inform our brothers and prepare them for a glorious and successful meeting at Petersburg. It was with extreme regret and sorrow that we heard of the disability of our beloved President, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D. occasioned by the hand of petition that fell heartily upon him while delivering mastery era in his own city, July 4, 1915. The congenancy of the General Association and his many friends in general have but yet fully recovered from the shock which affected so materially by the Baptist brotherhood no only of Virginia, but the country at home. We are earnestly asking that the Paul and the Lew join in proper for the speedy restoration to health of our beloved presiden But whichever solutions are the couple's recovery of our advent, it seems both faith and appo- riate that we should also consider the course which we do dear to him and for which we be latent so assidu- ently the Baptist General Associa- tion of Virginia. While they clearly involved to the extent that fobiles have active participation in the work at present, you his interest has not noted nor his faith taken him in re- serv to the work as will be shown by the following letter: 202 E.

Brothren we are calling upon each one of you to rally to the flair of the General Association of Virginia and do your best to make our meeting at Petersburg not only a splendid success but the banner year of our history. From the city; from the town; from the village and from the rural section you who are affiliated with the General Association of Virginia; you who are interested in our State work and the evangelization of the world are urged to meet us at Petersburg with increased zeal; concentrated interest and contributions worthy of your standing to take an audible part in the deliberations affecting your State and denomination. The success of our meeting depends upon each church and pastor constituting this body. Will not each pas for make a special appeal to his people to send up large contributions for education and missions than ever before? The demands made upon us as a State body were never greater nor more urgent, but we are glad to affirm that along with this increase of demands and obligations has come a corresponding increase in opportunity and means to meet them. Money was never more pleasant, people were never more willing to give than at present. We are praying that the denomination of our leaders may be utilized in marshaling the mighty forces at Petersburg for the good of the Cause and the glory of the Cross. May God help us to realize our duty and inspire us to perform it. R. J. LANGSTON.

SHEPHERDS ON BETWEEN NEW MOLDS SESSION For Three Days the Town of Culpeper was infested With Shepherds, Eighteen Annual Session. On the morning of September 3rd at 10 A. M. the Grand Fold Improved Order Shepherds and Coordinator of Baldheim was called order by the Grand Presiding Shepherd J. Thomas Hawkin, in the Antichth Baptist Church, Culpeper, Virginia. After going through the older routine of opening, then aggregate works were made by the Grand Shepherd, who announced the Grand Fold opened for the consideration of the volume of business that awaited its attention. The list of Folds was called and the educator answered in large numbers than at any previous session—twenty new subdivisions were represented by delegates at this meeting. The reports of the President, Shepherd and Secretary Theodore Hood observed, over every inch more so than in any previous session, and it was shown that 1648 new members were brought in during the year. For the success along this line we take the opportunity to thank all our workers. Seven of our workers were responsible for adding to the Order more than 1,000 new members who were M. J. Jackson, M. W. Garland, Bette Price, Austin Johnson, Amanda Beeson, Harrison Holloway, and M. C. Shelton. The number brought to be these workers ranged from 229 to 54. We unhesitatingly class the above named persons among the best fraternal workers in this State. The sum of $44,000 was paid in which the sum during the year, which is the sum of our Order that all accords to get proof of. The net clearance for the year were greater than all preceding seven years of the Order's existence combined. These points to a steady march forward of the Order. The Convention was highly entertained by Ora's Fold, headed by our deputy denom, Mrs. Mary E. Johnson and the people of Culpeper, in general. No stones was left outurned to make the sitting of the Grand Fold pleasant and congenial. The first public meeting was held on Tuesday night, at which time the Hon. E. A. Gibson, Commonwealth Attorney of the town, extended words of welcome to the Grand Fold. During the course of his remarks, he stated that it was the duty of the best elements of both races to unite and work together for the common good of all. He congratulated the institution on the progress it had made. The Grand Shepherd made a response which was very timely and interesting. On Wednesday night, the annual sermon of the Order was preached by Rev. Alex, Coleman, Grand Chapel, which was highly enjoyed by all. After the sermon a very impressive speech was delivered by Mrs. Q. T. Miller, representing the Hayes Memorial Orphanage Home, at Stamton, Virginia. A collection of $13.50 was raised for this purpose. Thursday evening the Grand Fold closed the most successful and inspiring session of the Order. Memorial exercises were held in honor of all the members lost by death during the year. These services were conducted by Rev. G. W. Watson, of Appomattox and Rev. W. B. Ball, of Richmond. It was very sad as well as impressive. At the conclusion of the Convention, the Grand Shepherd impressed upon every member to join in the campaign that was on for the next two years for 6,000 members, bringing the total membership up to 10,000 by 1920. He said in order to do this every member throughout the brotherhood must help. The sum of $275.00 is to be awarded to the successful deputies in this campaign in 1920 as prizes. The last item of business was the election of officers, which resulted in all of the present officers succeeding themselves. They are as follows: J. Thomas Hewin, Grand Shepherd; N. J. E. Moore, Vice Grand Shepherd; Amos C. Clark, Grand Secretary-Treasurer; George L. Johans, Grand Recording Secretary; Delilah Jones, Grand Degree Mistress; M. J.

To the Married and Former Students of the Virginia Union University Dear Brother, Notwithstanding Dear Wendy, Notwithstanding the fact that our school is putting each year effort to secure your enrollment in our course out the other of the institution at all times, and in the future for the college school year, I, a fellow alumnus, am obliged the liberty of making an additional call upon you to respond to what I believe to be the greatest opportunity for quick service to the University that our Alumni and old students have been called upon to render. I refer to your assisting the school in counting one hundred young men eligible for college entrance this Fall. They are needed now and must be secured. The University has been designated a unit of the Student Army Training Corps and graduates of high schools are eligible for entrance under the same conditions as those receiving entrance to similar institutions for white students. But, one condition is, I believe, that we must have at least ten men so registered. Can we not meet will we, as Alumni and students so otherwise and upon this as to doubtly receive this number? Betheney, now is the time to show our kind for the school that sent us our. Lot us faced times and situations such as "The Old Richmond Institute," "Old Wayland," "Old Dr. this one," or "The sainted Dr. that" as we so much prate about at our Alumun meeting and think now of Fulham, 12,000,000 Negroes, our Country and our venerable "Uncle Sam." To help send up these men is loyalty to our school, and one of the highest nurtive services we can render to our Country. This is Union's chance of her life. This war has brought about for the Negro the chance of his life; and we who for various reasons may not go "Over There," ought to grasp this the chance of our lives to perform any service that will tend to elicit our claims to a part of what our boys are dying for. Consider where will Union be, where will our race be, where will this nation be, when the great Non-Understandable cries halt to this carnival of death, if we as men not black men, but as men, do not rise up with others in a right cause and help bring in the blessings for which we pray. As Alumni, we can, if we will, see that the school has these men. College entrants of the required age know they are subject to call to the colors; they only need be told then, that if registered in these units, the Government not only assumes all of their expenses, but give them also $20 per month, the pay of a private, while they are in school. Now preach and urge it, brethren, and then let us meet. God willing, and rejoice over the grand success next year in a great meeting at our commencement. Fraternally yours. W, J, LUCAS, Paster of Mt. Oliv Bapt, Church, Newport, R. I. SECOND SUNDAY IN OCTOBER IS MONUMENT DAY. On that day or the nearest one thereto all the Churches and Sunday Schools that are members or friends of our Convention are asked for a liberal offering with which to erect a monument on Virginia Seminary Campus in honor of our late chieftain, G.

From the city; from the town; from the village and from the rural section you who are affiliated with the General Association of Virginia; you who are interested in our State work and the evangelization of the world are urged to meet us at Petersburg with increased zeal; concentrated interest and contributions worthy of your standing to take an ants puted part in the deliberations affecting your State and denomination. The success of our meeting depends upon each church and pastor constituting this body. Will not each pastor make a special appeal to his people to send up larger contributions for education and missions than ever before? The demands made upon us as a State body were never greater than before. We are told to affirm that along with this increase of demands and obligations has come a corresponding increase in opportunity and means to meet them. Money was never more plentiful, peo ple were never more willing to give than at present. We are praying that the denomination of our leaders may be utilized in marshalling the mighty forces at Petersburg for the good of the Cause and the glory of the Cross. May God help us to realize our duty and inspire us to perform it. R. J. LANGSTON. First Vice President, 631 St. Stockton, Va. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1918.

SHEPHERDS OF BETHLEHEM HOLDS SESSION For Three Days the Town of Culpeper was the host of sports Eighth Annual Session. On the morning of September 3rd, at prompt 10 A. M. the Grand Fold, improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem was called to order by the Grand Presiding Shepherd, J. Thomas Hewin, in the Autioch Baptist Church, Culpeper, Virginia. After going through the regular routine of opening, then apportionment, were made by the Grand Shepherd, who then Grand Fold opened for the consideration of the volume of business that awaited its attention. The list of Folds was called and the delegates answered in larger numbers than at any previous session—twenty new subordinate Folds were represented by delegates at this meeting. The reports of the Presiding Shepherd and Secretary-Transferor disclosed progress along every line, and it was shown that 1618 new members were brought in during the year. For the success along this line, we take the opportunity to thank all of our workers. Seven of our workers alone were responsible for adding to the Order more than, 1000 new members for the year, who were: M. J. Jenkins, M. W. Garland, Bette Pryor, Austin Johnson, Amanda Dee Shelton, Holly Waugh and M. Shelton. The number within in by these workers ranged from 229 to 54. We unhesitatingly class the above named persons among the best fraternal workers in this State. The sum of $46000.00 was paid in death claims during the year, which is a feature of our Order that all need to feel proud of. The net clearings for the year were greater than all preceding seven years of the Order's existence combined. These facts point to a steady march forward of the Order. The institution was highly entertained by Oras's Fold, headed by our local deputy, Mary M. Johnson and the people of Culpeper, in general. No stone was left unturned to make the sitting of the Grand Fold pleasant and congenial. The first public meeting was held on Tuesday night, at which time the Hon. E. A. Gibson, Commonwealth's Attorney of the town, extended words of welcome to the Grand Fold. During the course of his remarks, he stated that it was the duty of the best elements of both races to unite and work together for good of all. He congratulated the institution on the progress it had made. The Grand Shepherd made a response which was very timely and interesting. On Wednesday night, the annual sermon of the Order was preached by Rev. Alex. Coleman, Grand Chapplain, which was highly enjoyed by all. After the sermon a very impressive speech was delivered by Mrs. T. T. Cooper, representing the Hayes' Memorial Chapel, Home of St. Stanley, Virginia. A collection of $13.50 was raised for thisurnure. Thursday evening the Grand Fold closed the most successful and inspiring session of the Order. Memorial exercises were held in honor of all the members lost by death during the year. These services were conducted by Rev. G. W. Watson, of Riverton, W. B. Bull, of Richmond. It was very sad as well as impressive. At the conclusion of the Convention, the Grand Shepherd impressed upon every member to join in the campaign that was on for the next two years for 6,000 members, bringing the total membership up to 10,000 by 1920. He said in order to his every member throughout the year, the total of $275.00 is to be awarded to the successful deputies in this campaign in 1920 as prizes. The last item of business was the result of officers, which resulted in all of the present officers succeeding themselves. They are as follows: J. Thomas Hewin, Grand Shepherd; N. J. E. Moore, Vice Grand Shepherd; Amos C. Clark, Grand Secretary-Treasurer; George L. Johans, Grand Recording Secretary; Dellahll Jones, Grand Degree Mistress; M. J. Jenkins, Grand Deputy; Alexander Coleman, Grand Chaplain; Sadie Tallafero, Grand S. S. Supporter; M. W. Garland, Grand Jr. S. Supporter; D. W. Maskins, Grand I. Portor; D. W. Good, Grand Portor; L. P. Jones, Grand K. Wardrobe; J. A. Bolden, Grand M. of Signs; C. A. Holmes-Coloman, Grand Regalia Maker. The next place of meeting will be in Pamplin, Virginia, on the first Tuesday in September, 1919. This closes, the most successful annual meeting of the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem.

To the Alumni and Former Students of the Virginia Union University; Dear Brotheren,—Notwithstanding the fact that our school is putting forth every effort to secure your cooperation in carrying out the plans of the institution at all times, and especially the plans for the coming school year, I, a fellow alumnus, am pleased to the pleasure you in preparing an additional call upon you regards to what I believe to be the opportunity for quick service to the University that our Alumni and old students have been called upon to render. I refer to your assisting the University in securing one hundred young men eligible for college entrance this Fall. They are needed now and must be secured. The University has been designated a unit of the Student Army Training Corps, and graduates of the high schools are eligible for entrance to the same regulations as those governing entrance to similar institutions for white students. But, one condition is, I believe, that we must have at least 100 men so registered. Can we not and will we not, as Alumni and students so advertise and urge this as to double secure this number? Brethren, now is the time to show our hand for the school that sent us such as us for forced lines and stations such as "the Old Richmond Institute," "Old Wayland" "Old Dr. this one" or "The sainted Dr. that," as we so much prate about at our Alumni meetings and now of Union, 12,000,000 Negroes, our Country and our venerable "Uncle Sam." To help send up these men is loyalty to our school, and one of the highest patriotic services we can render to our Country. This is Union's chance of her life. This war has brought about for the Negro the chance of his life; and we who for various reasons may not go "Over the once great grasp this the chance of our lives perform any service that will tend to clench our claims to a part of what our boys are dying for. Consider where will Union be, where will our race be, where will this nation be, when the great Non-Understandable cries halt to this high carnival of death, if we as men—not black men—but as men, do not rise up with others in a right cause and help bring in the people we wish to pray. As Alumni, we can, if we please, that the school has these men. College entrants of the required age know they are subject to *a* call to the colors; they only need be told then, that if registered in these units, the Govern ment not only assumes all of their expenses, but gives them also $30 per month, the pay of a private, while they are in school. Preach and urge it, brothen, and then let us meet, God willing, and voice over the grand success next year, the great meeting at our commencement. Fraternally yours, W. J. LUCAS, Paster of Mt. Olivet Bapt. Church, Newport, R. I. SECOND SUNDAY IN OCTOBER IS MONUMENT DAY.

No Feeling of Unfriendliness Toward That Paper, But a Deep Regret, and Genuine Curiosity Concerning Rea- sions for Surprising Expression in Favor of Accepting Austrian Proposal—Concern Felt as to How Far It Reflects Certain Elements in Public Opinion. By David Lawrence. (Copyright, 1918, by New York Evening Post, Inc.) Washington, Sept. 19.—No single editorial in an American newspaper since the European war began has had such a profoundly curious effect in the national capital as the outspoken expression by the New York Times in favor of adopting the Austrian suggestion for an "unbinding conference" with the allies on peace terms. President Wilson's reply passed off with the usual flood of messages from Republican as well as Democratic leaders and constituencies, but there appears to be no abatement in interest here as to the reasons which prompted so powerful a newspaper as the Times to follow the course that it did last Monday. It still is the talk of the town, and anybody who knows anything about newspapers or their policies finds himself buttonholed everywhere by government officials high and low, all of whom want to know just what was the probable ocasion for the view taken or what it may represent. In a sense it is a tribute to the tre mendous influence which most people in the government believe the New York Times has exercised not mere ly with the public opinion of the United States but with the leading journals of the allied countries. In another sense it is a recognition of the fact that the American newspapers are the single medium of ex- pression which the people have for telling the government their wishes from day to day in a way that will simultaneously reach all persons in authority. And precisely because the view of the New York Times is at variance with what it had been con- fidently expected here would be the attitude of that newspaper, there is a genuine curiosity concerning the psy chology of the 'Times' editorial com- cil. LIKE LANDSDOWNE'S VIEWS Several suggestions and theories are advanced and It is interesting to note that the majority of them are to the effect that the Times' editorial represents simply an honest difference of opinion—another way of looking at the world war from that which our own newspapers have been so unamidously proclaiming and a view more in line with the ideas expressed by Lord Lansdowne to the surprise of the British public in his famous plea for a definition of peace terms on the ground that the war was becoming terribly destructive. Those who are interested in sustaining the morale of our own people as well as the morale of the allied countries, especially in relation to our own stimulus of those warworn countries do not pass by such an editorial as that of the Times with the comment that it was simply a mistake of the day. They are apt on the contrary to view it as the expression in public of what sometimes is heard in the grumbling private conversations of those who are inferred to look at the tremendous material waste and destruction of property the economic losses and the immense subtraction of human life involved in the war. England and France have had to combat this species of war-weariness and it cannot be done by mere abuse or denunciation. It can be done effectively here as abroad only by iteration and reiteration of the goal for which America is striving in her crusade for democracy. It is the old story of idealism. There have been abroad two separate influences for peace the pacifists who abhor all war and be the same object can be obtained by a peace by negotiation and the use of moral force as by the prolonged exertion of physical force; and the maternalists who are tired of the war and its exhaustive process and who argue that what will be gained will not be commensurate with what will be lost in property and human life. WAR'S BURDENS REALIZED So far as official Washington and the government of the United States is concerned, there never was a time when the tremendous sacrifices and losses involved were not truly approximated. President Wilson himself who cast the die in his famous war message, knew in April 1917, what it would be necessary for America to sacrifice in order to make the world really safe for democracy. He knew because he had been watching the European war minutely through scores of confidential reports. And while the president is just as anxious as he was in the days that he was accused of being a "pacifists at heart" to save America from need less loss of life or property his utter ances in public as well as inconversation with public men who have inter viewed him, make it clear that to end the war prematurely to place too much emphasis on the cost either in money or in lives when the object has not yet been achieved is not only inconsistent with the best Americanism but with history. The president has not adverted to the patched up peace of the congress of Vienna of more than a century ago merely as an interesting reminiscence, but as a reminder that all his influence and power will be exerted to achieve for this and future generations what so many millions of young men from all the democratic countries including some 40,000 from the United States, already have died to achieve. ATMOSPHERE OF REGRET There is no especial feeling against the Times itself nor those who may have been responsible for the mistaken suggestion that it was time to parley with the Hapsburgs or the Hohenollerns, but there is a solitude lest it may represent elements in our public opinion interested in welcoming discontentedly the drastic orders of the government for curtailment of industry; heavy taxation and the inevitable losses through the solective draft; becoming too much interested in what is being lost in the war and too little concerned with the glorious idolatism for which America's finest have given and are ready to give their lives so that the children of tomorrow can enjoy their lives and their property with some degree of world security. I can observe no particular unfriendliness to the Times in Washington. Mostly it is an atmosphere of deep regret and a natural desire to know more of the fundamental ideas that persuaded so important an organ of public opinion to follow the policy it did last Monday. AUSTRIAN PEACE OVERTURE. From Vienna, the quarter in which for three years the Allies have felt that the movement for peace would originate, comes the first veritable peace offer, and it comes in a form which the Allies may honorably accept in the confident belief that it will lead to the end of the war. The Aus tro-Hungarian Government invites all the belligerent Governments to authorize their representatives to attend a conference held on neutral soil with a view to a "non-binding" discussion of the terms of peace. It is the hope of that Government that if in a confidential exchange of views, the position of the different Governments shall be mutually made known it may be possible to formulate a stagement of terms which, when reported by the delegates to their respective Governments, might be accepted as a reasonable basis of formal peace negotiations. The custom and practice of nations demand that this invitation to enter upon the preliminaries of peace receive the most serious and respectful attention of the Governments to which it is addressed. It is a very different matter from the long-range peace offers made in speeches and notes, of which there have been so many all futile. It comes from a Government second only to the chief power of the Teutonic Alliance. We are bound to accept it as the sincere expression of a desire for much needed peace, and we may assume with entire confidence that it is issued with the full acknowledgement of the Imperial Government of Germany after conference and deliberation. This assumption finds confirmation in the announcement last night that Germany has made a definite peace offer to Belgium an offer hardly made in the expectation that it would be accepted but rather per haps, as notice to the world, in advance of the proposed conference that Germany is ready to evacuate Belgium, The immediate preparation for these overtures was made by Baron Burian in his speech last week, when he suggested a confidential exchange of views. For the actual and moving cause of the proposal we must look to the battlefields of France. The French, British, and American troops under the command of Marshal Foch the advancing and victorious legions directed by Haig, by Petain and by Pershing, have brought about this complete change in the minds and in the attitude toward the war of Vienna and of Potsdam. The refluent current that began to bear the Germans back from the Marine on July 18 and has never ceased its irresistible sweep, extinguished their last hopes of victory; St. Mihiel comes as an admonition of impounding and irretrievable disaster. But what fills their souls with deepest disquietude is the failure of their man power and their morale just at the moment when American soldiers literally in millions are moving forward to their places in the vast unconquerable armies that confront them. The Vienna invitation to conference is not of the kind that victors send forth. Upon that we need not dwell. All the belligerents desire the end of the war. The stricken world longs for peace. While no armistice precedes the proposed conference, we are justified in entertaining the hope the belief even that fighting will cease this year as the fruit of this "nonbinding" discussion of terms. It would be the worst of blunders for us or for any of the Entente Allies to abate war preparations now. But reason and humanity demand that the Austrian invitation be accepted. The case for conference is presented with extraordrial mary eloquence and force, a convincing argument is made for an exchange of views that may remove old and misunderstandings. It is pointed out that Mr. Wilson's four principles of peace have encountered no contradiction in the countries of the Quadruple Alliance; and there is much in the note that indicates a change of heart and of purpose there. We cannot imagine that the invitation will be declined. When representatives of the belligerents meet at the council table and proceed to their confidential exchange of views, to their respective statements of terms there is much antecedent probability that after no considerable interval the formal meeting of peace commissors will follow. The preliminaries of peace have usually led to the conclusion of peace. There are historic exceptions to the rule, but when we consider the deluge of blood that has been poured out in this war, the calculable waste of treasure, the ruin it has wrought; the grief that wrings millions of hearts because of it; we must conclude that only the madness or the soulless depravity of some one of the belligerent Powers could obstruct and defeat the purpose of the conference. But "this agony must not be gone through with again." For the Allies THE RICHMOND PLANE1, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA that affirmation of President Wilson's will be the foundation principle of the negotiations. The sufficient safe guards are plain to the view of all the world. A peace that left Germany master of the East would be a crime against ourselves and our posterity. Over the lands of the Near East and the whole of the old Empire of the Czars she can be permitted to have no dominion. Control of vast regions where she could renew her now diminished might she must once and for all time renounce. The restorations and reparations to be decreed in the West are equally indispensable but refereration has made them familiar. It is in the East that the new danger will arise, there with iron resolution it must be destroyed. Entering a conference with definite instructions to yield no point that would leave Germany in a position to call to her armies and their support the men and the resources of the bound less Eastern lands she now holds in thrall the delegates of the United States, Great Britain, France; Italy and their co-helligerens may meet the representatives of the Central Powers without arousing among anxious peoples At home the fear that they are about to barter away the soul of the allied cause.

Law Daville, Va., Sept. 19.—A decision in the United States district court here today in which a jury awarded Thomas Crews $600 damages against two revenue officers for searching his home in Franklin county, is taken by lawyers here to have a bearing on the operation of the Mapp act in so far as that law relates to activity of officers in searching for liquor. The court held that premises cannot be searched with out proper authority. Roveneau Agents H. V. Shugart and J. M. Wood, thinking they would find part of a still in Crew's house, raided it without a warrant. Crews objected to the search because of the condition of his wife. The officers per sisted and found a cap and worm which had been in a garret unused for four years. Crews was building a grain box. The officers said it was a box in which to transport a still. They took him prisoner without warrant, put him in Martinsville jail and left those parts. No mittimus was issued for the prisoner and as no warrant was served, it was impossible to take proceedings to secure bond. Finally a warrant was issued, but this did not charge the proper of fense. Crews was kept in jail for five days.

This week he was seen talking to a group of men and was heard to deliver himself in this fashion: (The part of his speech consigning all the preachers via speedy transports to the place that would not harbor a tallow-candle dog a pair minutes, is obviously omitted.) "If this is a free country, why is it that I can't drink as much as you, whil Old Noah had his regular toldies, before men know how to spell democracy and here I don't get mine in a common country." Toe, and—and and—that Chuck even turn white when he learns! --- PRESIDENT WILSON RIGHT ON CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS MOB CONTROL Nottoway, Va., "The President in his recent address on mob violence, calls on "the men and women of every community" to help "make an end to this disgraceful evil" which he says cannot live where the community does not countenance it. Nottoway demonstrated this fact some time ago. A Negro was captured after a crime so atrocious that a lynching seemed inevitable without outside help; and the authorities wired the governor for troops. Before he could send them the leading citizens met. They wired the governor their pledge to uphold the law and secure for the Negro a fair trial. No troops were sent; and the citizens protected the accused in jail and at the trial. He was proved guilty and legally executed. Her own loyal and determined men saved Nottoway from disgrace. The President is right: mob violence "cannot live where the community does not countenance it." GLORIA WOMEN PRAISE THE NEGRO'S WAR WORK. Atlanta, Ga.—The Georgia Division of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense is composed of the heads of every organization of white women in th stat. At their recent executive meeting in Atlanta the following resolutions were adopted: "Whereas the colored people of Georgia have shown an increasing con sensiousness of their share in the issues of this war; and "Whereas They have responded liberally and loyalty to every demand of the government of the United States, not only in the valuable service of their men as soldiers but along every line of production conservation investment, and contribution; "Therefore, De It Resolved: That the Executive Board, Georgia Division Woman's Committee Council of National Defense, congratulates the colored people of our state upon so excellent a showing of Americanism upon the part of their race; and that this Board offers to any organizations of colored women in Georgia who may express a desire for them to the chair man, such instructions for war work among women as may come to this committee from Washington." Atlanta, Augusta and other cities are already cooperating with the colored women in war work; and some notable things are being accomplished. LOANS TO OUR ALLIES An additional credit of $400,000,000 was made by the United States Treasury to Great Britain on August 30. This brings the total of credits to Great Britain to $3,725,000,000. The total advances to all of the entente allies now amount to $7,092,040,000. ```markdown ``` The privilege of conversion which arose in consequence of the issue of 4 per cent bonds of the Third Liberty Loan will expire on November 9. next and under existing law can not be extended or renewed. Delay in exercising the privilege will result in over burdening the banking institutions of the country and the Treasury Department by making it necessary to handle all conversions at the last moment and may result in many cases in the loss of the privileges of conversion altogether. Holders of coupon bonds are strongly advised to exchange them for registered bonds in order to protect them selves against the risk of loss, theft, and destruction of their bonds. The banks throughout the country, as a matter of patriotic service, will doubtless all assist bondholders in converting and registering their bonds. RONCEVERTE NEWS. RONCEYVERTE, W.

THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA The Government is calling for money. It pays interest on the money it borrows and you cannot loan the Government money unless you save it out of your earnings. The rich people formerly rallied to the assistance of the Government when it needed money and took up the Government bonds as fast as they were issued. Now, the poor people, so to speak, are doing the same thing. Wages are higher than they have ever been and now is the time to save both food and money. Deposit some of your funds in a savings bank. You can reinvest these savings in War Savings Stamps and in property. When you have a savings account, you become to an extent, independent. You are in a position to keep away poverty and to drive away the gaunt wolf of want. Do not fail to practice economy.

The book vividly portrays conditions and character of its people following the great possibilities in this country, now the "SAVE-WAY" to that vast continent. This Interpreting Book Was Prepared BY L. G. JORDAN, D.D. Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, after he had made Three Trips to Africa, and is written in almost romantic story form.

The war has changed the country and it has changed hundreds of folks in this country. You should pray at night and work in the day. Prayer has never been a substitute for work. Don't forget that. The "work or right" order has caused thousands of people to go into states where they can work and buy Honor. --- People who cannot buy liquor are making it and there are many recipes for producing the contents of the cup that inebriates. --- Save your money, colored folks. Bry land, own your own home. It matters not whether the home and lot are paid for, buy it on time. Things are not going allogether right in this country now, but the corrective application will not be ad- ministered until after the war is over. A lovesick woman is bad enough, but a lovesick man is awful. More of the latter are now being drafted in the army. The disease is epidemic from the ages of 12 to 25 years. ```markdown ``` The Prohibition Department of this State has gone into the business of selling liquor for medicinal purposes and there are hundreds of people now suffering from malaria. Whiskey is regarded as a specific for malaria. Colored folks, make friends with the white folks who show them-selves friendly and do not make enemies of the white folks who show themselves unfriendly. The latter are your enemies already and the former can do much to nullify this enmity towards you. --- If you feel like going North or West to work, go. If you feel like working right where you are do that. Progress is best made in a locality where you are best known and fitted. Sometimes it is made best where you are unknown. Under the former drafts, the War Department mustered into service thousands of the workers and left out of service tens of thousands of the loafers. Experience has been a great teacher and many of these blunders are being corrected. The loafers are being called in large num bers now. BRINGING TROUBLE TO VIRGINIA The National Baptist Convention, unincorporated at its session at Little Rock Arkansas decided to hold its session next year at Norfolk, Va., and selected as the meeting place that magnificent Bute Street Baptist Church of which th t very able Rev Dr. R. H. Bowling is pastor. While Virginians will extend to the visitors their proportion of our well known hospitality, it is with regret that we note that either wing of this unfortunate organization should deem it advisable to camp even temporarily upon our soil prior to the reaching of an agreement upon a basis of union. We take it from the resolutions adopted at the Little Rock session that there will be no union of the two bodies. What other construction can be placed upon some of the provisions? Here is one of them: Whereas. There are divers and manifold problems in connection with our peace program which must be solved before there can be any real peace and organic union between our two National Conventions. What are the problems to solve? One is to put Dr. E. C. Morris out of office, together with his immediate supporters and the other is to restore the National Baptist Publishing House to the status it occupied before the split, with the elimination of any actual control of its policy or its finances and its management to remain in the hands of the body of men who now control it. Whereas, the leaders of the two National bodies must be given ample time for cool, quiet prayerful and careful consideration to all of the knotty problems in connection with the peace movement which they are called to solve. If the cold weather of Leet Winter did not cool both leaders and the advice of the white representatives from the Southern Baptist Convention did not have a similar effect, Arctic breezes at Norfolk, Va. will hardly tend to do so. Here is another: and. Whereas, The peace terms as reommended by the commissioners called for the withdrawing of the lawsuits and the annulling of the charter as a prelude to peace which is decidedly impossible of execution during this weeks session of the convention. If will be seen that this particular provision tells us exactly what we all know and the other provisions proceed to get away from a peaceful union as far as possible. Here is another: therefore be it. Resolved. That the sense of this convention is that peace should reign among all Baptists; that the love of God and elementary knowledge of God's Word and the desire on the part of individual Baptists to do the best work possible for the kingdom are motives ample to urge every member of this convention to labor prayerfully and persistently to secure and preserve for all time to come the peace for which our Saviour prayed. This is equivalent to saying that these leaders know a good thing when they see it and having an organized body that they absolutely control, they can see no reason why peace should not exist between the two wings without a union of the two bodies. What else can this law guage mean? Here is still another: That while organic union between the Baptists of all classes and in all sections of the country is the thing most earnestly desired yet it is the sense of this convention that organic union between the two National Conventions is not indispensable to the peace which all earnest and sincere followers of Christ desire and for which they pray. This is equivalent to saying that the matter can be considered but that the previous provisions are in the nature of instructions to the commission of twenty-five members appointed. And here are other provisions: That this convention recognizes that for a number of years there was a most bitter antagonism between the two factions which had moved on as a turbulent river and yet we are willing to meet a friendly and brotherly council to consider the principles and policies upon which organic union may be had. That it is the sense of this convention, however, that the causes which divided the brotheen at Chicago which had been working for years were barely touched upon by the peace commissioners and that these causes must be removed before there can be organic union between the two conventions. We have stated the causes. The concluding resolution is as follows: That a commission of twenty-five members be appointed by this convention to meet a similar commission from the incorporated convention and the Southern Baptist Convention to whom shall be referred final adjustment of all differences and their findings shall become effective when approved by the two conventions. These resolutions were signed by J. E. Woods and C. J. W. Boyd. They should have been signed by Dr. R. H. Boyd. They are skillfully drawn and bear all of the car-marks of the master politician and organizer Dr. E. P. Jones. It is an optimistic individual, who believes that a union of the two great religious bodies is in sight. How can there be two National Baptist Conventions? One must be bogus and the other genuine. Either Dr. E. C. Morris is President and Dr. E. P. Jones is not President or vice-versa. Now is the time for prayer and fasting. The Virginia Baptist have decided that the question of the two conventions should not come into this State to divide us and both sides --- AN UNFORTUNATE ALLUSION. The National Baptist Union seems desirous of arousing latent passions in this State and in awakening old animosities, if we are to judge by the following extract that appeared in its columns of last week. It was a wise decision that selected Norfolk, Va., as the place of the next academy. Aside from a deposition on strategic seizure inherent in Norfolk access to the city by rail and by water, the tact that there are more than a score of great churches in Norfolk and twenty-five thousand Baptists with fifteen thousand in Porsmouth just over the river, assures ample accommodation for five thousand visitors. Aside from the capacious armory, the First Baptist Church, with a seating capacity of fifteen hundred will be at the service of the Convention. Virginia is a Baptist state. Thousands of Baptists have been mis informed with regard to the national issues. Certain Corporation Baptists have boasted of "Capturing the state," the leader among them being their foreign brother, Dr. Graham. A new order of leaders is now maneuvering Baptist forces in the Old Dominion state and all is well but to be made better. Before September next the Union-Review will recite some Virginia Baptist history including the Hayes Graham Lynchburg Seminary, American Baptist Home Mission Society controversy. A number of big corporation Baptists are known to have been quite unwisely active in years ago. We would like to know when Rev. W. F. Graham became a foreigner to this State. He is one of the most influential church men in this country and his zealous work in behalf of the race is recognized and known by all of our people in this locality. We were foremost among the number that championed the elimination of all questions relative to the National Baptist Convention controversy and that "prince of young divines" Rev. T. J. King was unanimously elected President of the Virginia Baptist State Convention although he was known to strongly sympathize with the distinguished churchman, Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd. We do not know that a new order of leaders is in the saddle. The same principles that permeated the membership in this state are recognized here now. It is poor policy to attempt to sow the seed of discord here and to separate friends in an attempt to make wider the chasm dividing the Baptist brotherhood of the country. We want peace. We want a union of the Baptist forces of the United States. We want a new deal in the National Baptist Convention of the United States. We want to find out where the National Baptist Convention is wrong and get it right and we want to do the same thing in our dealings with the National Baptist Convention unincorporated. Colored people are weary of strife. Life is too short and eternity is too long. Let us arrive at some conclusion. Let us find a basis for peace and live up to the agreements, when we enter into them. The present outlook for peace is not bright, although negotiations are under way to bring about the end of the great struggle. The success of the Allies in their offensive action against the German armies may be seen from two angles. Winter is setting in and the German forces are retreating methodically and save where intensive assaults are being made by the allied armies, in good order. Field Marshal Von Hindenberg evidently realized that it was impossible for him to accomplish his objective during the few weeks left to him and he is falling back to prepare defenses behind the old Von Hindenberg line. This means that the main struggle will be delayed until next year unless peace comes before that time. The armies on both sides will have time to rest and recuperate and the United States will be able to get into action when Spring weather comes again. The objectives of the German army seem to have been to capture the channel ports and to secure possession of Paris. It was ascertained that this would not end the war however and the exhaustion coming as a result of the effort would not have enabled the German legions to retain possession of the territory gained, with the United States sending millions of men across the Atlantic to continue the struggle. Another cause of the German withdrawal may be the entrance of the Republic of Russia into the war with Great Britain, France and the United States of America. This Republic has no army sufficiently organized to continue the struggle with the Allied nations and must rely upon Germany for aid should the situation become critical. That Germany realizes this has become self-evident. She has been fighting only rear-guard action as her army has been retiring before the British, French, American and Italian armies. Unless a revolution takes place in the Teutonic countryside she will come again. Whether or not the attack will be staged in the East or in the South is the question. The Austrian offensive has been checked and Italy breathes freely once more. If the reports being circulated are true, the Government of the United States accomplishing wonders in the way the war is being prosecuted. The Congress is faithfully doing everything the President and the War Department ask it to do. The unhinged warfire is unchecked. The only partial solution of the problem has been to send out more ships to be sunk than the submarines could sink. The loss of life continues, but the indomitable will of the allied nations asserts itself and demands a continuation of the struggle. We have lost over fifty thousand men in killed and wounded and missing as against the millions lost by our allies. The Fourth Liberty Loan must be made a success. The expense of the war for one year has been estimated at thirty-one thousand million dollars, ($31,000,000,000) and (this amount has been found to be ($8,000,000,000) eight thousand million dollars, shy We must be ready to make the sacrifice and to pay the price. The world is war mad. The only way to stop the alliment is to meet war with war. Loyalty is the watch-word. The white man wants to fight and he is fighting. The black man is initiating the white man and he is "going him one better." You cannot lose the colored man in a contest of this kind. He was in it in the beginning and he will be in it to the end. Service, money, property and life—all is being held upon the altar of sacrifice and all is there for the saving of the nation. May God help us all now, and may a grateful nation help us hereafter in securing all of our rights and privileges under the constitution of the United States. FLORENCE S. C. LETTER Florence, S.

THE PLANET FIRST NEGRO WAR CORRESPONDENT AND LIBERIAN LOAN. Two Notable Additions to the Big Achievements to Credit of Recent Conference of Colored Editors at Washington. Ralph W. Tyler Named to Report Military Happenings on Western Front in France-United States Agrees to Loan 85,000,000 to Aid Republic of Liberia. Washington, D. C., September 16. Two notable additions have been made within the past few days to the List of big achievements that may be just credited to the influence of the recent conference of colored editors and leaders in Washington. One of the direct requests of the Editors' Conference in June was that a reliable colored news writer be sent to France to report the doings of the colored troops on the western front for the information of the anxious millions of colored Americans in this country and to the end that the correct story of the valor and patriotic devotion of their brethren might be told fully and in a sympathetic vein by one of their own blood and kindred. In compliance with this request, the Committee on Public Information has designated Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus, Ohio former Auditor for the Navy Department at Washington as a regularly commissioned war correspondent, to specialize on the conditions surrounding the colored troops in France and to make daily reports of the activities and engage ments in which the colored soldiers are prominent. He will be on the staff of General Pershing., commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. Every facility has been provided by Mr. George Creel, director of The Committee on Public Information for the prompt and accurate gathering of all facts that may be of interest to the colored people. FIRST NEGRO TO BE NAMED AS A WAR CORRESPONDENT. Mr. Tyler is the first colored man ```markdown ``` to be named as a regular war correspondent by any Government in the world. He is a native of Ohio. For seventeen years he served in various departments on the Column bus Evening Dispatch and the Ohio State Journal which gave him experience in the technique of the news paper craft and afforded him opportunity for association with many influential newspaper men. This intimate contact with such forces will be invaluable to him in his labors as a war correspondent. The fact that he has a wide acquaintance with correspondents now at the front will make it possible for him to get news concerning colored troops which perhaps no other colored correspondent could secure. The claims of a number of men were fully considered in connection with this important assignment, but Mr Tyler was finally selected as the most efficient of those available. Immediately after war was declared by the United States on Germany Mr. Tyler wrote the President tendering his services in any capacity. He has three sons all of whom are at the front in France. $5,000,000 LOAN TO LIBERIAN REPUBLIC. The second of this series of editorial conference achievements is the authorization by the Government of a loan of $5,000,000 to the Republic of Liberia in line with the request of the Conference. This fund is allotted to aid in the rehabilitation of that country's public finances, which have been reduced to a dangerously low ceb by the cessation of trade and to develop production of rice and othofoodstuffs for the allies, as well as to place on the market many of the greatly needed products with which the little overseas republic abounds. Much of Liberia's commerce was with Germany and this has been totally cut off since the former's declaration of war against the Textsors. The granting of this $5,000,000 credit through the United States Treasury had its inception several months ago when Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian Council-General made application on behalf of his Government for same, and was helped forward quite perceptibly by a meeting at the White House later, when a committee laid before the President the peculiar needs of Liberia and made plain the faithfulness of her people to the cause of the allies emphasizing the fact that Liberia is the natural ward of this powerful Government and that its welfare must be safeguarded by America in her hour of peril. The members of the committee who joined in the appeal to the President were Dr. Robert R. Moton Principal of the famous Tuskegee Institute; Emmett J. Scott Secretary of Tuskegee Institute now serving as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War; Dr. Ernest Lyon former United States Minister to Liberia and now Liberian Consul General in this country; Dr. James H. Dillard of the Slater and Jeanne Fund Boards; Dr. Thomas THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Jesse Jones of the United States Bureau of Education and Hon. William H.

Arid Territory Will Be Reclaimed Out West—Vast Building Projects Involved Will Provide Employment For Thousands of Returned Men—Names Officials for Sections. Secretary of the Interior Lane has perfected an organization for placing American soldiers who will return from Europe upon approximately 400,000,000 acres of land. What to do with the returning soldiers is a tremendous problem that far-scoring statesman ship has been trying to solve from the very day of the declaration of war. Secretary Lane believes he has solved the problem, and issued a statement yesterday giving the de tails. Congress has appropriated $200 000 for preliminary investigations. It has been assumed that the land solution which made the civilian re habilitation of the soldier of the civil war easy, and which settled up the western portion of the United States was impossible. That all the land had been taken. LAND AS GOOD AS ANY. Secretary Lane has discovered there are approximately 400,000,000 acres of undeveloped land just as good as any in the United States and it is upon this land that he is aiming to settle the soldiers who return from the European war and who may not care to settle down to an indoor existence after their experience in the open. Part of this land is in the arid regions where gigantic water reclamation projects will redeem them. But the greater amount of land available is the "cut over" land of the Northwest and of the Southwest. There are about 200,000,000 acres of "cut-over land" and in addition to this there is approximately another 100,000,000 acres of swamp land which may be reclaimed by drainage processes. Secretary Lane finds there are hundreds of thousands of acres of other lands in the various States cut tributable. WORK ON GREAT PROJECTS. Secretary Lane also sees employment for all who wish it in the great projects that will be essential to reclaim these lands. Great engineering projects will have to be constructed, canals installed dams built; great ditches dug to drain the swamp lands and stumps to be blasted out. In fact, the reclamation will be one of the most gigantic projects ever entered into by the United States and will furnish the solution of the problem of employment for many years. Secretary Lane's program does not involve any element of charity to the returning soldiers. GOV. HARBINGTON ANSWERS COMMISSIONER CLAXTON. Pledges His Aid to High and Lower Educational Agencies in the State—Commands Colored Council of Defense—Fair at Salisbury to Entertain Thirty Thousand. By Carl J. Murphy. Salisbury, Md., September 16—Governor Emerson C. Harrington of Maryland in a ringing speech replied to a letter of Commissioner of Education Claxton on the question of the education of Negroes, and later sent the Commissioner a copy of his address. The occasion of the Governor's public address was the opening of the State Wide Farmers' Exhibition under the auspices of the Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense, of which Dr. Ernest Lyon, a former U. S. minister to Liberia is chairman; J. R. L. Diggs, H. M. St. Clair; John H. Murphy and L. H. Davenport vice presidents; Dr. A. L. Gaines, treasurer; II. M. Gross see retary; A. H. Pitts chairman of finance committee and E. B. Taylor, chairman entertainment committee. James F. Stewart president of the Maryland Emancipation Fair Association, with Mrs. M. A. Stewart secretary, cooperated with the Defense Council in staging and directing the fair exhibits. Several hundred persons mot the train of Governor Harrington when it arrived at Salisbury from Baltimore and accompanied by a band of music marched to the old Wicomico Fair Grounds where the opening excercises were held. The object of the fair is to stimulate a deeper interest in the farmers of the state in raising foodstuffs and to emphasize the importance of their work. Thirty thousand persons will be entertained in the seven day sessions. Leading men of the state white and colored delivered addresses who included delegates named by the government of Deleware; New York; Pennsylvania; Virginia and West Virginia. HARRINGTON PRAISED. Option of many persons who heard Governor Harrington's address is un animous that the Governor's speech is the most notable delivered in the history of Maryland. No Democratic governor has ever taken such an advanced position on the question of education and general welfare of the colored people. His attitude compared most favorably with that of Governor Edge of New Jersey in his address at the opening of the Business League recently. The Governor admitted that Mary land is South in sentiment but pledged his administration to continue the work of building up the secondary and collegiate schools as well as the elementary and grammar schools. He said: "Our own security and safety as well as justice to the Negro de mant better schools, better teachers longer terms and better pay." DR. LYON COMMENDED Governor Harrington commended especially the work of Dr. Lyon in organizing the only colored state branch of the Council of Defense in the country. He said the branch had done important service in reaching the people of the state, and that the adjutant General Waters had also commended to him the "excellent showing of the colored branch.

Unofficial reports filtering back from the fighting front in France have added the final touch of amplification to the phrase contained in a German official statement when the big drive by American troops was at its heights a few weeks ago, and which noted that "black Americans" had hammered their way morrowly through the Hun lines. It was not, though, until the battle was over according to the unofficial version of the same fighting, that the brigade commander summoned the colonel of a Negro regiment before him and demanded to know in tense military fashion, why that colonel had not maintained better control over his troops, and why, above every thing else he had not "stopped" his men and kept them from passing beyond their appointed objectives, and in fact; hacking their way through ahead of their own protective barrage. "Stop them." queried the colonel. Stop them? Hell, man how could you expect me to stop them, when the whole German Army couldn't do it." The brigade commander's reply is not of record, either officially or unofficial, but the story is only one of a thousand that is being told of the admirable dash and courage of the Americans who compose the Negro units of the expeditionary force as which everyday are out there in the think of the fighting and holding their place in the line wherever they may be called upon to do their miltary bit. In just the same manner, the men who compose those regiments are partaking of the carefully built up welfare work that is being accomplished on both sides of the water by the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activities. In fact, they are receiving special attention, both in the camps in this country and K of C. huts in France and the work among the Negro troops is being broadened as rapidly as the numbers of the Negro troops grow, under the operation of the selective service laws and by voluntary enlistment, the latter apparently being a particularly inviting method for Negroes getting into the army. Under the system as it now has been worked out, the Negro soldier needs no other countersign than his khaki uniform to gain for him every thing advantage offer by the Knights' service. True, there are places, both in this country and abroad where the Knights of Columbus have erected special huts for the use of the Negro soldiers. But where that has been done, it has been at the express request of Negro soldiers themselves, who in numerous instances have expressed a preference for a building of their own, where they may enjoy their own pleasures in their own way and be assured of meeting their own friends when and where and under what circumstances they desire. granted by the K. of C. upon request of the men themselves at Camp Mende, at Admiral, Md.; where one of the three K. of C. hus which are looked after by 11 secretaries, has been set aside for Negro troops. The same action again upon request of the Negro soldiers has been taken at Camp Dodge, at Des Mohes, Ja.; where one of the three K. of C. buildings has been set aside for their exclusive use. At Camp Dodge, however there are 13 secretaries, the services of everyone of them being always at the call of any trooper who requests them. The same rule applies at Camp Funston, at Fort Riley, Kas, where one of the three buildings of the K. of C. has been given to the Negroes and there is a building for the Negro troops also at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky.; where the Knights have four tents As the work expands and as the number of Negro troops has been enlarged the facilities for catering to their wants have been correspondingly increased in keeping with the recently adopted slogan of the organization "Everybody Welcome—Everything Free." The hasballs; tounis; shower baths; books; candy; cigarettes and all the other things which the Knights have been distributing to the soldiers in this country as well as aboard the transports and in the camps rest billets and front line trenches in France have gone in equal proportion to the Negro troops under the organization's rule that the war service of the Knights shall be conducted without regard to race color, religion or any other factor except that the recipient of it be a mem ber either of the military or naval forces of the United States. This regulation has been accented in the spirit of co-operation that has been built up between the big Catholic relief organization and the Jewish Welfare board, which is directing the work among the Jewish soldiers, of whom like the Negroes, there are many thousands both in the army and navy. At Port Hamilton, in Brooklyn and Camp Meritt the army embarkation camp at Tenafly, N. J. for instance the Jewish Welfare Board attaches are using the K. of C. buildings and equipment regularly; with the consort and approval willingly given; of the Knights supreme organization. Similarly the other day when there were six Negro soldiers entertaining at Port Jervis N. Y. on their way to Goshen, N. Y., from where they were to start upon their journey to a training camp, it was a group of Knights of Columbus secretaries who met them and supplied them with cigarettes and tobacco. It happened, however that the six Negro draft men did not take a train from Port Jervis. Instead, the Knights loaded them into automobiles and drove them across the departure for the camps. There were pretty hilly country to their point or only six men in that draft consignment but the Knights service would have been as hearty and as general if the number had been 600. Ad there have been innumerable instances where that larger number of men have been cared for and had their wants provided by the Knights, as the men themselves have satisfied.

The entire equipment of an officer costs about $500.00. All of these amounts must be paid for by the officer himself. When travelling the soldier is allowed a rate of one cent per mile. When on official business, he travels at seven cents per mile. The soldier pays the former and the Government the latter. In the case of the officer, it is more expensive to travel at the Government expense than it is to travel at one's own expense for the reason that in transacting Government business, it costs the officer about $10 per day after paying hotel and other expenses. THE STANLLEY STEAMER. In talking with Major Davidson, our conversation drifted to automobiles and their cost. He said that he owed an Abbott-Detroit automobile. It cost him $100.00 per month I told him about my purchase of a Stanley Steamer. "You did not make any mistake," he said, "the Stanley Steamers are used in the Rocky Mountains for mountain climbing. They are used as trucks, too. They succeeded the wagons, and have been in use out there for more than ten years around Maniton and Pike's Peak. WONDERFUL MACHINES They were used before an automobile had been found to do the work. There are no railroads to go over this wagon trail and they have held up. They are wonderful machines. He then discussed the situation in Colorado in many of its phases. Woman suffrage out there was all right, no one paid any attention to it. A LADY COMPANION. The train was two hours late. Then it was an hour and forty minutes late. This was just late enough to cause Major Davidson to miss his train at Chicago. It was Sunday afternoon. I finally decided to go into the dining car. I was not hungry. I wanted a cup of tea and some dessert. I entered the car. The Italian seeward pulled back a chair from the table and I sat down. Then there entered a colored lady. She sat opposite me. She immediately entered into a conversation with me. PULLMAN CAR TROUBLES Her husband, who resides near Chicago had sent her a ticket, entailing her to a reservation on a Pullman car at Pittsburgh, where she had been visiting many months. She was unable to obtain a reservation and much to her disgust was in a day coach. They had very little to eat. Finally, she ordered a vegetarian dinner and then enquired of the astonished waiter, if he did not have any meat. A vegetarian dinner is one consisting of all vegetables and no meat. She had told me her troubles. Dinner over, the steward who thought she accompanied me, insisted upon putting both orders on one bill and charging the same up to me, to our mutual embarrassment. ONE LUMP CF SUGAR I was not ready to take unto my self another man's wife. She hand- ed over a $10.00 bill and the matter was adjusted. I had ordered a pot of tea, bread, butter and ice cream. What was my surprise when with the order came one lump of loaf sugar, and the information that the dining car was allowed only so many pounds of sugar per month. MUCH TEA WASTED Of what use to me, was a pot of bitter tea with one lump of sugar. This was conserving tea or rather wasting it, for I could only drink as much tea as that one lump of sugar would sweeten and I wanted four lumps. I did not say anything. I ganged the sweetening strength of that one lump and I left the pot of tea minus less than one cup to be thrown away. This was an evidence of the absurdity of theories in the matter of food conservation. I passed out to the Pullman car and my companion to the day coach. SEEKING INFORMATION I fell asleep and awakened long enough to look out of the window and observe that I was at Youngtown, Ohio. When we arrived at South Chicago, it took us more then an hour to get to the B. and O. Station. There were no taxicabs in sight only one horse-drawn vehicle. Luckily, the street cars were running. A police officer and the street car conductors gave me the information desired and I was able to get within a block and a half of my stopping place at 3112 Vornon Avenue, where Mrs. Hortletta F. Leo, greeted me and made me welcome. MY CHICAGO HOSTESSMS I was given a front room, admirably furnished, with bath adjoining, a marble lavatory being in the room itself, Mrs. Lee has with her a daughter, Mrs. Genevieve C. Wimp and her children, Miss Mara Belle H. Masters Benote H. and Edward D. Wimp, Jr. She told me a rare story of devotion to Editor R. S. Abbott, of the Chicago Defender, whose mother lives in Savannah, Ga, and her original home was in Columbia, S. C. Dr. Abbott was stricken with Pneumonia and after a cold water treatment, the physician declared his case hopeless. He would be a corpse before morning. DETESTED WHISKEY Hailing from the "Sunny South" she believed in stimulative treatment and poultices. Editor Abbott was a total abstainer but she had recourse to "the cup that inebriates," using it medicinally. When the physician came the next day, to his amazement the expected corpse was propped up in bed and taking nourishment. The fever was under control and the ravages of the disease broken. The doctor was astounded. He yielded to Mrs. Lee's treatment, giving only a remedy, to cause the patient to expectorate the phlegm from his throat NURSED BACK TO HEALTH She then nursed him to health. He had always had a room at her house. He started the Chicago Defender on twenty-five cents and Mrs. Lee gave him the twenty-five cents. A few months ago, he requested her to look at a fine brick dwelling at 3112 Vernon Avenue. She thought that he was purchasing it for himself and that he would let her have a room therein. His astonishment can be readily understood when Dr. Abbott's lawyer passed to her a deed to the property with every Dollar paid thereon. This was Publisher Abbott's method of showing his appreciation for the woman that had saved his life and who had proven herself to be his guiding star in business. LIVED AT THE DEFENDER OFFICE. Until she removed to this manslion she had lived at the Chicago Defender Office, 3159 State Street. I had heard many strange stories, but this was one of the most remarkable ones to which I had ever listened. Gratitude is a rare virtue in this country at present. "It is no more than he ought to have done," is the slogan. But Mrs. Lee is grateful and Publisher Abbott is grateful. A remarkable pair, they are, to be residing in the cold, icy, windy city of Chicago, where avarice and passion seem paramount and where the sentimental side of life so much in evidence in the Southland is "chilled to the bone." But enough for this week. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 23, 1918. WOMEN TO PLAY IMPORTANT PART IN AFFAIRS. To the Members and Friends of the Women's Baptist State Educational Convention; Summer is past and the Fall is upon us. To you who have been fortunate enough to take a vacation we hope you spent it pleasantly and profitably and that you have returned full of vigor, inspiration and ambition to go to work with all your heart, with your face set towards Romone, Virginia, determined to make this the greatest session in the history of the Convention, in spite of these perilous times. Indeed woman is coming to her own. Never in the history of the world has she received anything like the credit due her, but now the nations are acknowledging that woman indeed plays a most important part in this conflict. She is indispensable, inasmuch as they are indispensable in the great struggle for democracy she is also in the great war being waged against ignorance and superstition, against the powers of darkness everywhere. There is no time to sit and pine because the men and brothren are gone to the front, but we must shoulder the responsibility bravely and let the world know that women can master the situation and carry on the work left for us in a business like way. And as the poet said, "Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait." We have received a very encouraging letter from the President of the Convention, having visited the Valley Baptist Association, and also reorganized the Missionary Society at Now River, with Mrs. Buckner as President, Mrs. Mary Mitchell, Treasurer. She also visited Buchanan, Va., meeting the Golden Key Circle, Mrs. Maggie Jamison, President and Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, Secretary, Madame Fox also visited her friend, Mrs. M. F. Pleasants, who spends most of her time in Philadelphia, Pa. We are delighted to know that she disposed of so many of the Jubilee Charts and sends for more. We are having a number of calls for them. Each Circle has been asked to take some and sell them for ten cents apiece and keep the amount in treasury and report at the next Convention for Foreign Missions. We feel that every member of the Convention should have one on their wall and will be glad to mail them to any for the asking. Any President may send for them Of course, we are keeping the account, and shall want to know if said money is turned in for the purpose agreed to. MRS. M. WALLER RICHARDSON Corresponding Secretary 2017 Rose Street, Lynchburg, Virginia THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR The Bee's esteemed contemporary the Richmond (Va.) Planet, wants to know if Dr. Haynes has protested against race discrimination to the Secretary of that Department. There is nothing on record to that effect. The Editor of The Bee met Dr. Haynes a few evening ago and he endeavored to explain the recent publication by his Department for white watchmen. The explanation he gave didn't explain. Perhaps he will explain in a future document. Worried. Wise County, Va., September 8.—Mr. Halie Trance who was first at Camp Meade and next at a camp in New York, was married in Gate City, Va.

The Hale Brothers and the Wright Brothers and Joplinus who make up this great Church. The Rev. J. E.

Moriah Baptist Church Sunday evening, 2 o'clock to a large audience from Roanoke and surrounding country. He used as a text, "These all died in faith not yet receiving the promise." The occasion was the Fifty-fifth Anniversary of the Church. Many of the elder members had passed away into the dim unknown but retained the faith, having left a glorious legacy to their posterity, the house of worship where many had communed the last time with friends long gone. People came from far and near to be present at this grand meeting and I am sure that all who attended on these services were doubly paid for the sermon was a real spiritual uplift.

George C. Taylor, of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church Billed his pulpit Sunday morning and delivered a fine sermon to an appreciative audience. There was a full house at the cloven o'clock service. The collections were fairly good. At 8:30 the Doctor proached a very strong sermon from that memorable text, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The Reverend reminded his audience of the innumerable cloud of witnesses that we are surrounded with, which should be all-sufficient proof for our wholly relying on Christ and the promises found in His Word. He referred to Abel, Noah, Abraham, Lot and a host of others as witnesses of Christ as our Great Deliverer from all the evils that may be ours to come in contact with in all ages of the world. Misses Hattie and Bottle King, who spent last month in New York, Philadelphia and Brooklyn returned home last week very much elated over their trip.

(By Franklin F. Johnson.) CAMP MEADEN, MD., Sept. 15.— It is rumored that plans have been drafted for a building for Colored Red Cross Nurses. It may be located in the section of the Camp benign built up for the Field Signal Service, thus giving rise to the surmiso that colored soldiers will also receive instruction in this branch of the service. The building of barracks here for colored nurses means that race nurses will be installed at other cantonments where there are large numbers of colored soldiers. It indicates that the nation-wide fight for colored nurses has been won Motor Truck Company, No. 22 passed its first anniversary as residents of Camp Meado Sunday. There are 96 men in the company, most of whom either saw service with the Ninth or Tenth Cavalry or with the Twenty-fourth Infantry. A number of the men were with Porshing in the Mexican campaign of eighteen months ago. They say he is a fine commander. General Porshing and Colonel Charles Young both were members of the class of 1889 at West Point. A number of the men have also seen service in the Philippines.

Bee-) In baseball, usually, the club getting the "breaks," as baseball fans describe that fetish called luck, wins. However, the winning team must "play ball," even when getting the "breaks," to win. Emnett J. Scott, the uncommunicative but effective wizard who represents his entire race in the War Department as special assistant to the Secretary of War, appears to be getting the "breaks" these days. First, that unfortunate editorial of Dr. DuBois in a recent issue of The Crisis, faithfully suggesting that our grievances might be "selfish" and that we should "bury" them, brought down upon his head such an avalanche of criticism within his own house, as to seriously handicap him as a "headliner." Then the Department of Labor's indefensible, insulting, advertising for 250 white men only as watchmen put a crimp into Dr. Haynes' (its recently appointed "Director of Negro Economics") aspirations, if he had any, to be a headliner on the national colored circuit. We do not exult over these two worthies' misfortune; we rather regret it, both for themselves and for the race. However, we cannot help but admit that Emmett J. Scott is getting the "breaks," and at the same time is playing a whaling good game" of big league ball. He seems to have the penant einched. MISS EVA D. BOWLES. Merit and hard work won high position for Miss Eva D. Bowles, head of Y. W. C. A. work among Colored women in this country but Colonel Roosevelt has drawn general attention to her. When making provisions for the distribution of his $40,000 Noble Prize fund. $4000 of which he directed should go to the Y. W. C. A. work among Colored women he said: "I have asked that Miss Bowles he consulted in the disbursement of this item. My wife and I were very much struck by the work of Miss Bowles in connection with the Colored Hostess House at Camp Upton, and I have asked that the money he used for the Hostess Houses for Colored troops and in the work among colored women and girls in and about the camps and cantonments. For several years Miss Bowles has been doing a wonderful work among colored women, under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and that too almost single handed. Today, from her office she directs the Y. W. C. A. work among colored women throughout the country, having some eighty colored women staff workers under her supervision. Always shrinking from publicity the work of this young colored woman a native of Columbus Ohio and product of that city's public schools had been little known outside of her sphere of action until Colonel Roosevelt as he has done with so many other worthies threw the spotlight on her. Miss Bowles received her first training as a social worker with the associated Charities in her native city Colum bus. Her work there attracted the attention of the Y. W. C. A. officials and they brought her to this big city for a wider field of usefulness. Today she is perhaps the most effective and achieving and at the same time noiseless worker among colored women in this country. The work of the Y. W. C. A. among colored women which began some twenty years ago has grown rapidly. The war has made it a big factor; giving it a place along side of the Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross and this clever young Ohio colored woman has contributed much to making it what it is today; one of the very big social factors. Around the National Board here, Miss Bowles is greatly admired by all—the splendid white wo men of the Y. W. C. A. placing a high value on her efforts, earnestness and achievements.
