I awoke early Monday morning. October 14th and by six o'clock, Robin Davies was tiring up the Sandy steamer, while Roscoe C. Mitchell and John R. Cogbill were moving the satchels, baskets, etc. out of the parlor of Mr. Cole's post- dence to the curt. In the mountains Mr. Cole was brimming water to fill on the tank. It was after 7 o'clock he beque we were ready to start for Storm Pillow. His host bedtype we went out Main room at a lively pace just as we turned on to take the main road at thru. Then across the street awoke our curt at noon. I read "Chair batteries," the Good, Harry Dudley. We saw colored in wood on our Fatha l trail we had been pressed under it IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS Then we were moving along a free unimpeded road. In the distance, we could see the peaks of the Ridge Ridge Mountains, blinding the clouds. The air was cool and bainty and the moon the clear. The Stanley Steamer may be like a tilt of the end and we were hoping we would approach the mountain that we could see rising before us in the distance. Down and up the slightly shaping ground we weat, notices company, sees women and ones or couples and mobile guides who are on the way passing through with no reason to be there it may be well to do of course. R.M. Davies on the contrary, from R.C. Chell on the plains with Tina C. Mintz Bell on the coastline and I was the base masseuse who detached the extremes of the city. THE BIBLE BOOK Robinson handled the threat to the contractor Goodill read the instructions on the sweedameter and opened and closed the valve that furnished the water while Pipco handled the auto-pilot Pipco locks him and locked bounded to one day the good friend Mr. Craig Belove Presidion of the American Type Foundations Company. Every mile of the road was designed even to the point of the number of miles between the points on the road. We could see the mountain top in the distance for when we were steadily going later we found ourselves climbing almost every mile. The Stanley steamer went up steadily with a boom that was fascinating and enjoyable. THOSE DANGER SIGNS. We were meeting Atton and finely reached that famous resort. From this point, we could get a hazy view of the beautiful Diedmont Valley, stretched out before us like a colored mop. Below were the clouds, for we were above them. Instinctively we viewed the scourge of nature with minded eye and admiration. Then on to Grovewood where from the top of the mountain a similar view was presented. The stormer would sound narrow curve steadily bending towards. Glide the road was simply jungle thorn. Stones of "Danger" "Extreme Danger" events where controlled us. One blunder in the throttle, one failure of the brakes to work and a tragedy would have been recorded in these mountains. LIVES LOST THERE Chauffeurs and automobile owners have lost their lives in these dangerous places for care and skill are essentially necessary in going around these steep grades in the mountains. The danger of collision with some other car is ever present, but we pass up safely and then we come down on the other side, executing these spiral curves that made the inclined plane and enabled a car to get the necessary traction to get along over these remarkable high ways. The Stanley steamer answered to all the demands made upon it and we continued on to the direction of Staunton. We had lunch on the side of the road, for we had carried with us, thanks to the folks at home, ample food to eat and soft drinks to drink for all practical purposes. BEIEND SCHEDULE We were beld ind schedule time owing to the delay in Charlottesville Our was pressed against firmly, and out of the West on the stair at Stamford but just because doing so we had no money either race with a Chosponde and of O to train this had delayed us too long. As we went further up the road, the railway track was paved with the road way on which we were traveling. Tobiason contended the idea of testing out the Stanley and this part with jumbo train on the part of 47 of us. It is hardly necessary to describe the scene, when the passengers on that train realized just when we were doing. It was an even race. The Stanley Steamer went and we passed into Stam on ahead of the "iron monster." BUYING LENNANTS We were soon on Augusta street, there we called on J. H. Allen. He was in his barber shop with himself and adds a properly punched. The Spanish influenza was there too. He gestured us cordially and many other shoes stood about the street. I found A. C. Marbey and I greeted his wife in her hair dressing pants. After much delay during which our companion purchased post cards and Robinson conceived the idea of gifting to Samuton pountain with which to decorate the car. we went up to look. Alba's residence, where his residence made us welcome, the two pies there. I only both of them. We offered our shoes there and near it on hour after hour, we went to the Vatthu like, compute to Harrisonburg. Much has been paid and written along this road. But too much cannot be said about it. THAT GALLON OF KEROSENE The Stanley Steamer travelled over it with a satisfaction to us that will long be remembered. It was just as the rich one went to a national Fullman cash. I am not hope to say the speed of the car, but we must the trip to the shipbuilding, a alliance of the wealthy who were driven by the adventures of the wealthy of the city. The crew on the shipward ones. It is common to find a glimpse of the pleasure when an outfit which he cared was unattended and burned out of the poor poor poor runs. An officer in harbourbury, being led up J. C. Dittles, who carried the establishment had been removed from the house, was formerly located. A police officer informed me that I sound how in harbour surroundings with a little girl and sitting him. AT NEW MARKET We wanted us to go up and see his life, but we did not take the time out to do a new routine. We needed an interview for us and we are hearty I wanted to do a new friend Rita G. A Newman and many others but the day was the first money and I had to hurry. Robinson acquired a Harrison's business and gift of them a good postcards to send to friends at home and at all our offices. I carried out an audit on the road to Winston, VT. The air was cool and the secretary thanked. When we received New Market, I saw a sign "Fourteen miles to Larry Caverns." Now 44 miles was not much of a run for the scorer and I decided to make the trip. I would advise you that the sun be charged to "Thirty miles to Larry Caverns" for that road is something awful. MANY HOURS LOST THERE. I had exhorted to lose two or three hours by the city limo. As a matter of fact I lost five or six hours. The roads are paved at the street and there we began a drive. Massachusetts Mountains. I would suggest that, if these are purchasers who wish the car test before buy me the moses, it would be well to make the trip to New Marlboro and then the point to Library City. If the car is not put out of comp you can be plated for three days not when there after it is all right in the first days. The plated militer it is an attractive vehicle mounted in fish with guillies and indentations in the road which are around to the top of a mountain that "blisses the clouds" "At long distances may be seen the mountainous houses. Plainly when we reached the town, we could see the beautiful Sheenough Valley in the distance with the whirling roads and attractive houses while far away could be seen range after range of high mountains. A DANGEROUS JOURNEY The Stanley Car never faltered. With 550 pounds of steam, it climbed steadily. There were no gears to shift no churches to worry no carburetors to annoy, no spark-plugs to cause trouble. The throttle released the steam and the steam did the work. On the other side of the mountain, as we came down, we were more concerned about the brakes than anything else. Once only did Robinson have to RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1918 throw in the emergency brake. Is this trip dangerous? I should say so, one failure of the brake to work would have sent that Stanley scammer down the side of the mountain. THE OWNER OF THE CAVERNS When we reached the valley, the road we had and round, but we went around mile after mile until we could see the village of Luray in the distance. The many signs showed us the way to the entrance leading to the grounds. There we saw an Oakland car that had passed us on the road and that we had never seen since after we had entered Mineral Va. The owler was in the caverns. We waited awhile for a guide and then the owner of Luray Caverns Mr. T. C. North came out to see the Stanley seeder. He had heard much about the car and he had never seen the late model. After we had explained to him its workings, he took us up to the office, where he gave Robinson a payment bearing the words, "Luray Caverns." ENTERING THE CAVES Out of season the admission price to the Cayman is $290 each and the Government war tax to twenty cents additional. I paraded with $850 in good United States currency and then with Mr. H. C. Shucken a guide was on our way underground. We were arrested for we had expected someone other place to enter the cayman, but the dungeon like entrance was right at us. The guide himself a popular candle holder with two candles litbed and then down the stone or concrete steps we went until we found ourselves for beneath the surface of the earth. Mr. Shucken took special pleasure in describing everything. THE FISH MARKET We now in the rocks authenticate and attribute formations. One is followed by the erosion from stone and the other produced by the hardening of the stone uponwards. Your would be hardest known in the rock, then you could age blackened formations in the rock with the debris, or colour. The rock melted was a plaque of interest. Solid rock had the form or shape the cride asked us what kind of rock they were. Coelbill said they were tread. One of or pressed an other kind of fish. The guide and so did they were fishish and so were. They were made of rock. We were in the ball room and into an eroded ball, where a small boy grew on the rocky formation and the offine ground. COL. DOOSEVELTS LIKENESS We saw also a perfect likeness of *Theodore* Roosevelt in the rocky percussion. We looked into one of the mossy pools of clear water. It appeared to be only about a foot deep and we could see a human foot track therein. The guide explained that a white visitor had stepped down there and he had to be pulled out with the water up to his armpits, and he none slightly further, the water would have been seven feet it was almost unbelievable. We were shown where the bodies of a human skeleton had been discovered. It is presumed that the other part of the body is still imbedded in the rock beneath. STYGLAN DARKNESS The Natural Bridge is also a recreation. It occupies the original one. The environment directly influences throughout. It is impossible to describe the intricate abacus of this new form. The ghostly forms here and there enclose all kinds of bubbles and lagoons. We snort in your and a self-exploring this way. (Continued on cliff place.) A HEAD ON COLLISION - Charlesville Va. October 21. Extra Cargo and Office work on the back and inside, consisting of a large van head on into the front freight No. 97 standing on the main place in Campbellsville and on Charlesvilleville, about 5:45 o'clock this morning was large both engines. Three members of the extra crew were injured. They are Engineer Charles C. Carter of the city who had his right shoulder tru- tured and sustained bruises about the head and tye; Fireman T. L. Vin, who suffered a scab wound and Brakeman G. N. Durbin, also of this city. The injured reached here on a soot train a 9:30 o'clock and were removed at once to the Marta Jefferson Hospital. The accident occurred in a dense fog. The extra it is understood should have taken the siding at Campbell's. Instead it ran past the switch and crashed in to the regular freight which had been standing on the main line for ten minutes. The fronts of both engines were badly wrecked and one or two box cars on the westbound freight smashed. GOLDFED OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION OF OVER WEEK SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, 4 August, 1914. Today is Sunday and it dawned beautifully though someone who cooler than nosotrosfore, yet there is an added touch to the glory of the day unnoticed in the skies that passed. For so sad mountains we have been praised I with showers that had us to believe that we lived in her arrived at Framed's raining season of the year and we saw visions of mud and mire, wet cold nights when the very heart of soldiers would be clothed and our souls would cry out and long for home and loved ones, for friends and home comfort which in days gone by, were more or less undervalued by us; so I be repent, today is Sunday, like all Sun days we have known here, and it is beautiful. As I look out over the surrounding country from the point of the hill where we are located, over all fields of harvest and pasture, over mountains picture is formed in the belief that shall remain until the last rains and one shear thought is permitted to nourish any child. This time been fortified then the village of Calcutta, which I need to know was the garden type of the world, but there was so vast a country those cold storm snowweaved peaks which were up in the background to their thick heath that added more of wonder, sometimes four, than of beauty, beautiful and the worst. I have looked out into the depth of these contours where, far below the clouds, white robed saints in my inscrutable mist, drifted past, but the heavens or the rests are covered by the seething bottomless depths from among earth no more than a few feet. I have no bed on the ground, American and Caucasian folk would see if they were now beautiful, but I know now as I would the air and whirling death of the hill was a challenge which unto the beauty of the universe wildness of the world where turbulences of every description I from natural scenes my thoughts have wandered to the beauty and the magnificence of America's leading cities, those of which I have visited (but the beauty of our great cities takes into his intelligence when I compare them, peeled as they are with types of every nation, with the towns of France, though those lack the modern conveniences to which we have been so long accustomed, the loss of such is forcest when once given because imbibed with the spirit of France a spirit which is, as nearly as I am able to describe, the spirit of Christ; but I shall write more of that later. Just now my thoughts are full of the beauty and the glory of France as seen by the natural eye from most any point other than the location held waste by the terrible hand of the Hun. From most any height you can see for miles and miles beautiful villages distributed generally from 5 to 10 kilometers apart (note: a kilometer is five or eight of a mile) and between every city or village is a road known as a French National Highway, roads that far exceed the roads of America. These roads are best in the best possible condition. Along either side are beautiful trees planted at even distances apart (not to be too, or 11 miles) with great beauty of a walthy never less than two roads and much wider in some places along the roads. The worry however most of when those days are collisions can always find a cool shady spot to rest. These roadways where from a distance seem all the world. Like white ribbons that detach to hold the villages together. The villages are generally located protectively. It occurs, between two or more hills and in the center of every village, however small their church stands meticulously above the smaller buildings; the higher the buildings of the village or town, the higher the church and the picture which comes to one's mind is that the church is there as a protector, the chief place, the heavenlight house in fact, you can find the size and status of the town by the size of its church or churches and I am led to wonder if this is not just what God would have the world to see; His Church first, then see what other beauty the place might possess. The buildings of this entire country are nearly always of stone, many, many years old; buildings that seem indy stand forever, having stood, in many instances for hundreds of years. Possibly the next thing that attracts one's attention is the water supply. To me this is most remarkable. In every town you find numerous fountains where the water supply flows constantly from springs, whose pressure is supplied by an unknown source. These fountains date back for centuries, in some cases, and the water still flows as steadily as though it was connected with the greater reservoir in the world (and I wonder if they are one) whose enemies are personal. At these tautstaff men and hands must unchuck their thirst at the same time for they are no untainted that such can be done in a hardly sanitary manner. On close inspection of the homes we find that the second earl or the right or left肩 is used for animals and chickens and other fowl, which of course soothed, very stramine to you but does not appear as bad as it (Contributed by Fifth Dare).

Our Board of Directors in order to raise enough money to purchase a few more tanks, to purchase a larger pump, to finish connecting up our wells and to begin the drilling of Well No. 4, have decided to place a few more shares of Square Deal Oil Stock on the market, to be sold and sacrificed at the very low price of $3.00 per share. As soon as this allotment has been disposed of, the next quotation of this stock will, in all probability, be from $10.00 to $25.00 per share. This war for Democracy is bringing great things to pass for the Negro. Our Government is greatly in need of oil. Every dollar invested in this manner is a patriotic duty. The Negro in this country who fails to assist his Government in these great times of need, the one who falls to grasp the great opportunities which are now knocking at his door, will after this victorious war is over, live in want and poverty, and be looked upon by his fellow countrymen with contempt and scorn.

(Continued from last week.) I awoke early Monday morning, October 14th and by six o'clock, Robinson Davis was wiring up the Sanley steamer, while Roscoe C. Mitchell and John R. Coghill were moving the satchels, blankets, etc., out of the parlor of Mr. Cole's restidence to the car. In the meantime Mr. Cole was bringing water to fill up the tank. It was after 7 o'clock we fore we were ready to start for Stamton. Bidding our hostguest we went out Main street at a lively pace. Just as we turned out to take the main road a large sign across the street attracted our attention. It read "Char lettess title. Good-bye. Hurry Back." We saw colored men working on the railroad track as we pressed under it. IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS Then we were moving along a fine macadam road. In the distance we could see the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains, kissing the clouds. The air was cool and balmy and the morning clear. The Stanley Steamer moved off like a thing of life and we were happy as we steadily approached the mountains that we could see rising before us in the distance. Down and up the slightly sloping grades, we went, across streams, passing glaciers and once or twice auto-passing through villages. In passing it may be well to describe Robinson Davis as the engineer; John R. Cog bill as the fireman, with Roscoe C. Mitchell as the conductor and I was the lone passenger; who defrayed the expenses of the trip. THE BLUE BOOK Robinson handled the throttle to the steamer, Cobill read the mileage on the speedometer and opened and closed the valve that furnished the water while Roscoe handled the auto mobile blue book that had been loaned to me by my good friend Mr. E. Craig Pelouze, President of the Ameri can Type Founders Company. Every mile of the road was described even to the point of the number of miles the points on the road. We could see the mountain top in the distance to which we were still going. Later we found ourselves going almost verticle grades. The Stanley steamer went up steadily with a ham that was fascinating and en joyable. THOSE DANGER SIGNS. We were nearing Afton and finally reached that famous resort. From this point, we could get a hazy view of the beautiful Piedmont Valley stretched out before us like a colored map. Below were the clouds, for we were above them. Instinctively we viewed the grandeur of nature with mingled awe and admiration. Then on to Greenwood where from the top of the mountain, a similar view was presented. The steamer would go around narrow curves steadily bending upwards, while the road-bed was simply magnificent. Signs of "Danger" "Extreme Danger" everywhere confronted us. One blunder at the throttle, one failure of the brakes to work and a tragedy would have been recorded in these mountains. LIVES LOST THERE. Chauffeurs and automobile owners have lost their lives in these dangerous places, for care and skill are essentially necessary in going around these steep grades in the mountains. The danger of collision with some other car is ever present, but we pass up safely and then we came down on the other side, executing these spiral curves that made the inclined plane and enabled a car to get the necessary traction to get along over these remarkable high-ways. The Stanley manneered answer to all the demands made up for and continued on in the direction of the road. We had luncheon on the side of the road, we had carried with us, thanks to the folks at home, ample food to eat and soft drinks to drink for all practical purposes. BEHIND SCHEDULE We were behind schedule time, owing to the delay in Charlotteville but we pressed onward. Finally, we passed the Western Hospital at Stamton, but just before doing so we had an exciting race with a Chequesaque and Ohio train that had delayed us at a crossing. As we went further up the road, the railway track was parallel with the road way on which we were traveling. Robinson conceived the idea of trying out the Stanley and this met with immediate favor on the part of all of us. It is hardly necessary to describe the scene, when the passengers on that train realized just what we were doing. It was an exciting race. The Stanley Steamer won and we passed into Stamton ahead of the "iron monster." BUYING FENNANTS. We were soon on Augusta street, where we called on J. H. Allen. He was in his barber shop with himself and assistants properly muzzled. The Spanish Influenza was there too. He greeted us cordially and many other friends rather about the car. We found A. C. Mabrey and I greeted his wife in her hair-dressing parlor. After much delay, during which my companions purchased post cards and Robinson conceived the idea of getting a Squaton pennant with which to decorate the car, we went up to Jack Allen's residence, where his Madame made us welcome. She had two pies there. I took both of them. We enjoyed ourselves there and near us an hour afterwards we went up the Valley Pike, carouse to Harrisonburg Va. Much has been said and written about this highway, but too much cannot be said about it. THAT GALLON OF KEROSENE The Stanley Steamer travelled over it with a satisfaction to us that will long be remembered. It was just as though one was in a palatial Pullman car. I am not here to say the speed of the car, but we made the trip to Harrisonburg, a distance of twenty-five miles on one gallon of kerosene. This was done by taking advantage of the grades by closing the throttle on the downward ones. Robbom would not yield up the steering wheel at anytime while the car was running and refused to be relieved after the long runs. Arriving at Harrisonburg, I enquired for J. C. Holmes, whose establishment had been removed from where it was formerly located. A police-officer informed me and I found him in humble surroundings with a little girl assisting him. AT NEW MARKET. He wanted us to go up and see his wife, but we did not have the time and in a few minutes he had meals prepared for us and we ate heartily. I wanted to see my friend Rev. G. A. Newman and many others but the day was passing away and I had to hurry. Robinson secured a Harrisonburg pennant and all of them a stock of post cards to send to friends at home and after some delay, I started out again on the road to Winchester, Va. the artist was bracing and the scenery illuminated. When we reached New Market, I saw a sign, "Fourteen miles to Larry Cavens, four 14 miles was not much of a run for the stream and I decided to make the train would advise that the sign be changed to "Thirty miles to Larry Cavens for that road is something awful." MANY HOURS LOST THERE I had expected to lose two or three hours by the diversion. As a matter of fact I lost five or six hours. The roads were good at the start and then we began climbing Messanitau Mountain. I would suggest that if there are purchasers who wish the car tested before paying the money, it would be well to make the trip to New Market and from that point to Larry Carvers. If the car is not put out of comp mission or disabled for first class service there after it is all right in the first class. For about 2 miles it is an almost variable mountain climb with gullies and indentations in the road, wind ing around to the top of a mountain that "kisses the clouds". At long distances may be seen the mountaineers houses. Finally when we reached the top, we could see the beautiful Shenan doah Valley in the distance with the winding roads and attractive houses while far away could be seen range after range of high mountains. A DANGEROUS JOURNEY The Stanley Car never faltered. With 550 pounds of steam, it climbed steadily. There were no gears to shift no clutches to worry no carburettors to annoy, no spark-plugs to cause trouble. The throttle released the steam and the steam did the work. On the other side of the mountain, as we came down, we were more concerned about the brakes than anything else. Once only did Robinson have to throw in the emergency brake. Is this trip dangerous? I should say so. One failure of the brake to work would have sent that Stanley scammer down the side of the mountain. A COLORED OFFICER'S DECORATION OF was connected with servoir in the woe if they are not) perpetual. At the and beast may o THE OWNER OF THE CAVERNS. When we reached the valley, the road was hard and rough, but we went onward mile after mile until we could see the village of Luray in the distance. The many signs showed us the way to the entrance leading to the grounds. There we saw an Oakland car that had passed us on the road and that, we had never seen since after we had entered Mineral Va. The owner was in the caverns. We waited awhile for a guide and then the owner of Luray Caverns Mr. T.³ C. Northwood, I saw, I saw, the steamer. He had heard much about the car and he had never seen the late model. After we had explained to him its workings, he took us up to the office, where he gave Robinson a pennant bearing the words "Luray Caverns. ENTERING THE CAVERNS Out of season the admission price to the Caverns is $2,00 each and the Government war tax is twenty cents additional. I parted with $8.80 in good United States currency and then with Mr. H. C. Shenck as a guide was surprised to see that we were surprised for we had expected to go to some other place to enter the cavern, but the dungeon like entrance was right at us. The guide lighted a peculiar candle holder with two candles lighted and then down the stone or concrete steps we went into the cavern to pursue the surface of the earth. Mr. Shenck took special pleasure in describing everything. THE FISH MARKET We saw in the rocks stalactite and stalagmite formations. One is formed by the drippings from above and the other produced by the hardening of the drippings upwards. You could see breakfast bacon in the rocks. Then you could see blankets formed from the drippings. The delicates of the fish market was a place of interest. Solid rock had the form of fish. The guide asked us what kind of fish they were. Coghill said they were trout. One of us guessed another kind of fish. The guide anawered they were rock fish and so they were made of rock. We went into the cathedral hall, where a small boy struck on the rocky formation and the cliffs sounded. COL. ROOSEVELT'S LIKENESS We saw also a perfect likeness of Theodore Roosevelt in the rocky formation. We looked into one of the many pools of clear water. It appeared to be only about a foot deep and we could see a human foot explainer that a white visitor had stepped in there and he had to be pulled out with the water up to his armpits, find he gone slightly further, the water would have been seven feet. It was almost unbelievable. We were shown where the bones of a woman had been discovered. It is presumed that the other part of the body is still embedded in the rock beneath. STYGIAN DARKNESS The Natural Bridge is also a curiosity. It resembles the original one. The cave is electrically lighted throughout. It is impossible to describe the magnificence of this cavern. The ghostly forms here and there conjure up all kinds of hobgoblins and images. We spent an hour and a half exploring this won- (Continued on Fifth Page.) A HEAD-ON COLLISION Charlottesville, Va. October 21.—Extra Caesapeake and Ohio work force No. 501 costbound, consisting of engine and cabover ran head-on into westbound freight No. 97 standing on the main track at Campbells eleven miles east of Charlottesville, about 5 o'clock this morning wrecking two other crew members of the extra's crew were chaperones. They are Engineer Charles C. Carter of the city who had his right shoulder fractured and sustained bruises about the head and face; Fireman T. I. Via, who suffered a scalp wound and Brakeman G. N. Durbin, also of this city. The injured reached here on a special train at 9:30 o'clock and were removed at once to the Martha Jefferson Hospital. The accident occurred in a dense fog. The extra it is understood should have taken the riding at Campbells. Instead it ran to the regular freight crashed to the regular freight and been standing on the main line for ten minutes. The fronts of both engines were badly wrecked and one or two box cars on the westbound freight smashed. COLORED OFFICER'S DESCRIPTION OF OVER THERE SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, 4, August, 1918.—Today is Sunday and it dawned beautifully though some- what cooler than heretofore, yet there is an added touch to the glory of the day unnoticed in the six days just passed. For several mornings we have been greatest with showers which are to have made that we had at last arrived in France. From the son of the year and we saw visions of mud and mildew, wet cold nights when the very heart of soldiers would be chilled and our souls would cry out and long for home and loved ones, for firesides and home comforts which in days gone by, were more than ever present. We peat, today is Sunday. Like all Sun days we have known here, and it is beautiful. As I look out into the surrounding country from the sky point of the Little village where we are located, over vast fields of harvests and garr- produce, a picture is formed in the mind. The sun is hot, the last sune and conscious thought is permitted to permeate my mind. A picture more beautiful than the val- leys of California, which I used to think was the garden spot of the world, but there was something about those cold stern snowcapped peaks in the background to their dizzy heights in the wonder, sometimes fear, than of beauty, beautiful though they were. I have looked down into the depths of those canyons where, far below me the clouds, who robed saints in my imaginative mind, drifted past, but the beauty of those scenes was marred by the seeming bottomless depths, a scene many could not gaze at great American and Canadian falls and wondered if there were scenes more beautiful, but I know now as I recall those mad whirling death-dealing rapids, that amid the beauty of the falls was a challenge much like unto the beauty of the unexplored wilderness of the world where lurk dangers of every description. From natural scenes my thoughts have wandered to the beauty and grandeur of America's leading cities and have visited but the beauty of our own lands into insignificance when I compare them, peopled as they are with types of every nation, with the towns of France. Though these lack the modern conveniences to which we have been so long acostomized, the loss of such is forgotten when once you become imbibed with the spirit of France, a spirit which is, as nearly as I am able to describe, the spirit of Christ; but I shall write more of later. Just now I thought my thoughts were the glory of France as seen by the nature from most any point other than the section laid waste by the terrible hand of the Hun. From most any height you can see for miles and beautiful villages distributed generally from 5 to 10 kilometers apart (note—a kilometer is five-eighths of a mile) and between every city or village is a highway, that is to reach National Highway, roads that reach roads of America. These roads are kept in the best possible condition. Along either side are beautiful trees planted at even distances apart (about 10 met, or 11 yds.) with grass growing at a width never less than two yards and much wider in some places along the roads. 'The weary traveler most of whom these days are going to enjoy is shady spot to rest. These roadways when seen from a distance seem all the world like white ribbons that delicately hold the villages together. The villages are generally located protectively, it seems, between two or more hills and in the center of every village, however small, their size is greatly above the smaller buildings, the buildings of the village or town, the taller the church and the picture, which comes to one's mind is that the church is there as a protector, the chief place, the beacon-light house, in fact, you can judge the size and status of the town by the size of its church or churches and I am led to believe that what God would have the world to see: His Church first, then see what other beauty the place might possess. The buildings of this entire country are nearly always of stone, many, many years old; buildings that seemingly stand forever, having stood, in many instances for hundreds of years, having that attracts one's attention to the supply. To me this is most remarkable. In every town you find numerous fountains where the water supply flows constantly from springs, whose pressure is supplied by an unnatural source. These fountains date back for centuries, in some cases, and the water still flows as steadily as though it was connected with the greatest reservoir in the world (and I wonder if they are not) whose engines are perpetual. At these fountains man and beast may quench their thirst at the same time for they are so constructed that such can be done in a highly sanitary manner. On close inspection of the homes we find that the second collar or the ridge or left floor is used for animals and the other fowls, which of course some strange to you but does not appear as it (Continued on Fifth Pane). BLUE TRIANGLE NOTES Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A. The Phyllis Wheatley Branch of the Y. W. C. A. has been serving soup from its soup kitchen since last week, Tuesday. The members of the Association have made soup daily and the Secretaries and Patriotic League Girls have served on an average of fifty families a day. Too much cannot be said in gratitude to voluntary contributions of both white and black women for the willingness of our many friends in the use of their automobiles for the daily distribution of soup. Prayer services are being held each evening from 9:30 to 10:00. Themes for the past week were, supplication for our armies over the sea and for the afflicted of our land; thanksgiving for opportunity and spirit of service. Josephine Wyche and Maud Greenlee will host Thursday for Newport News. It is a fruitful field we are expecting great results from the work which they will direct, Miss Wyche as executive worker and Miss Greenelee as recreation worker. Miss Clinton Boyer and Nellie Watts reported in Lynchburg last Friday to survey work in an entirely new field. Miss Watts will return to Hitcham as a trainer. Miss Brady, student secretary, returning to Philadelphia from Florida where she has been visiting schools, spook a day with her friends. We are expecting Miss Drewett, student secretary, visiting schools in North Carolina but now enroute for New York, to spend today with us. MEMORIAL SERVICE AT UNION.

An Irish Port, (Correspondence of The Associated Press,)—If the popular conception of the periscope and the manner in which it is brought to the surface and lowered, were an curate chasing submarines would be a much easier task than American seafarers commanders have laid out for them. They see a pipe four or five inches in diameter with lenses at the top swirling through water or disappearing during the rather slow process of submerging a U-boat. Instead they see if they are fortunate enough a slender pipe not more than one and one-half inches in diameter shoot up above the surface and appear within a few seconds. It is the purpose of the periscope that may be operated from a number of several feet. All underwater crafts are equipped with them rather than the old type which through photographs and drawings has been impressed on many people. The operation of the periscope is controlled to a large extent by a very delicate instrument which denotes to the boat commander the condition of the sea at the surface. If it is comparatively small in which an enneces the danger of detection he need raise the periscope only if four inches above the surface. If it is rough he must raise the "eye" higher but he really is in not as great danger as if the water was calm or cause it is difficult for an observer on another ship to see the small instrument in a heavy set. The instrument is contended with water pressure which varies with the height and violence the waves and shows actual surface an indicator in the skin. In one successful fight with a U-boat it was estimated that the periscope was visible less than ten seconds. It came up very close to a destroyer doubtless a great deal closer than the submarine commander had reckoned and when he realized his peril he got tempted to scurry away. But a depth charge was dropped and German submarine power deceived by one boat, FULTON NOTES.

MEYER JBWELRY CO., 21 W. Broad Street. TWO Halled Jones Explained to the Captain That His Father Got 'Halled' Out of the Lord's Prayer. Fort Worth, Texas, October 19.—The Negro is serious enough in joining the army, but his nature makes him the most humorous race in the entire Allied armies. Remember the story a few days ago from France telling how a Negro American solider captured a German Major and appeared in camp wearing his prisoner's monocle? Well, there are such incidents as these that mark the life of the Negro recruits at Camp Bowie. It was getting to be a rather staid old camp until these 3,000 Negroes arrived. A lanky Negro, black as the ace of spades, stood before a medical officer at the detention camp, when the latter noticed the Negro's name written on a card strung around the Negro's neck. His name was Halled Jones. "Boy, where in the world did you get that name?" asked the Captain, "Why, you see, boss," said the Negro, "that's a Bible name. My father was readin' the Bible one day when I was a baby an' he run across where it says 'Hallowed be Thy name' in the Lord's Prayer. So he called me after that good man. Amt so I'm 'hallied' too." Being class 1 men and practically all farm workers, the Negroes in goin' through their examinations apearlied through their statues, well muscled and little as patrons. The stunts were so novel to them they looked on their ordeals as a side show, beginning with a shower bath and if it was entertaining for the examiners it was likewise for the rookies. "6 TIMES 3" THIS LIMIT There was many another Negro almost as good as Hallod Jones. There was Sam Harris from Emuus. Sam admitted that he couldn't read or write, but he showed he was shrewd. Sam could tell the Captain who examined him, how much six times three were, but he insisted that six times four were twenty. "Weil, now," said the Captain, "if you had 81 and gave me 75 cents how much would you have left?" "No use, sab," exclaimed the dark key quickly. "Ah needs mah money an' I wouldn't give you all no 75 cents." Jim Baker was next. He too, couldn't read or write. "But can't you figure?" demanded the Captain. "Can't you do simple problems in adding, subtracting and dividing?" Jim seratched his head. "Mah wife has been doin' all that toh me, sah," replied Jim. Then a happy thought struck him. "But ah can subtract and divide Germans all right if you gives a chance." And he will be given a chance for he was passed and accepted. And he has a physique that Jess Willard would be proud to own. All the Negroes are tested for illiteracy and mental ability, and at the finish comes the psychological test, which is the most severe, but if one shows a workable mind, even if he is illiterate, he is accepted. One Negro was asked, "What are we fighting for, anyway, Rube?" "Fightin' foh?" replied Rube in surprise, "Why, we is fightin' foh to kill Germans." He too was passed TOO MUCH POP AND PIE. Lieut, Col. J. G. Ingold investigated the sickness at the detention camp and found the Negroes had been buying stupendous quantities of pop, pies, cakes and candy. He put a stop to it. He found that 5,000 bottles of pop and 3,000 pies were sold in one day. "Boss, will I get time to see mah wife befoh I leaves to France?" asked Frank Jackson, a Houston Negro. He was addressed Capt. F, J. Halsey of the Personnel Office. He called all Majors, Captain, Lieutenants and privates, "boss." "Don't worry," replied Halsey. "You won't go to France for many months yet, and you stay right be bind that fence there for two weeks where you are safe from your wife." "Ah just wants to know one more thing, boss—I mean Cap," broke in the Negro as the officer began shovin him away. "Does this pay me $20 and throw in the board and shushin (to) Mah wife, she says they do not." "Yes, yes, yes," shouted the Captain, "you'll get thirty per, have all you can eat, and you've got to do your own doggone washing, and I only wish your wife had kept you instead of the army." "Mah wife, she tells me I see too expensive to have around' home 'cept in cotton picking season, but believe me she's goin' to give me that $2, foh ah wants to have a good time in France." THE Y. M.

COLORED WOMEN MARRIED OR SINGLE WANTED AT ONCE BY THE Du Pont Company "UNSINKABLE" SHIP SUNK BY German U-BOAT Former Austrian Steamer Lucia, Equipped With Air Boxes, Torpedoed. The American steamship Lucia, equipped with binoyancy boxes and supposed to be unsinkable, has been sunk, according to word received in New York yesterday in shipping circles. She was torpedoed by a sub marine in the Atlantic, but details as to the date of the sinking and the fate of the crew are lacking. The Lucia, formerly an Austrian freighter of the same name, left an Atlantic port with cargo October 12. She was 16,744 gross tons and was built in 1912. The vessel was taken over at Mobile, Alabama, when the United States entered the war and was equipped at a cost of more than $2,000 with an "unsinkable" device approved by naval officials, for experimental purposes. Her holds and cabins were lined with air-filled boxes. This, its inventor declared, would keep the ship afloat no matter how hot the water was taken in through holes torn in her sides by torpedoes or shell fire. Get in the swim. Save The Planet Coupons.

Job Work & Specialty AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN SERVICE FOR NEGRO TROOPS OVER 65,000 women are now actively enrolled as workers in the 700 American Red Cross canteens extending from the most northern point in Canada to the most southern in the United States and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Together with the canteen kitchens, medical supplies and small transfer hospitals, they comprise the equipment of the Canteen service, primarily organized to stimulate the morale of the soldiers and to let them know that the country is with them and appreciates the sacrifice they are making. It was also organized for the purpose of meeting emergencies which may arise with troops in transit—unavoidable delays, accidents, supplies exhausted, sudden illness or accidents to the men en route. The American Red Cross Canteen Service is one branch of the service which, owing to its nature, requires a certain amount of secrecy. The United States is a tremendous country, with miles of track, and its troops are spread over tremendous areas. Men are sent from their home towns to camps, troops are moved from one camp to another, and they are shipped from camps to embarkation points and sent overseas, but wherever they are they find the American Red Cross has already blazed the trail and is there "on the job." This service, like all efforts in behalf of the soldiers, sailors and marines on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, is rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction. Six hundred negro soldiers were served recently by an American Red Cross canteen at a point in Arkansas. In a press report of the work it was stated: "It will be a long time before the activities of that great organization, the American Red Cross, will perform a better service, or one that gives the good women, both white and colored, more pleasure. They were enlisted colored men coming direct from their farms and homes in Louisiana, going to a strange city and surroundings. They were a tmid set when they stepped off the train here like a drove of lost sheep, but there was a far different feeling when they left. The interest shown in them here made new and fighting men out of them. They will take their places in the trenches just like the white soldier, and every time one of them does it he takes the place of your boy or my boy. He's an American soldier, and all honor is due the splendid work of our Canteen women and their colored women helpers." Negro Auxillaries. Many cities of the South are organizing colored auxiliary canteen committees. The colored canteen in New Orleans is in charge of a very fine colored woman of education and a graduate nurse. The canteen has headquarters on the ground floor of the Pyramid Temple, owned entirely by negro capital. It has five large rooms, well equipped for rest and recreation, and date has entertained every batch of negro selects leaving for cannons. It is maintained by New Orleans Chapter funds. At some points, notably in Texas, Canteen service is maintained to give refreshments to the aviators at their landing fields. In some of the large railroad yards model canteen buildings ALLIED VICTORIES ADD TO THE MOUTHS TO BE FED. As Enemy Is Pushed Back Larger Population Must Be Cared For. MUCH MORE MUST BE SENT. When Foe is Driven Across Meuse, Estimated 9,750,000 Will Have To Be Helped—America Must Ship 17, 550,000 Tons This Year. Washington, October 21.—Allied victories in France and Belgium are daily adding to the numbers of months that must be fed by the people of the United States it was declared by the United States food administration to day. The victories of the past week have added a French population of 1,560,000 and a Belgium population of 800,000. It is estimated to be the number this government recently estimated must be fed. The situation will be somewhat relied upon when the allies get through to Great for that will enable the distrubt button of immense stores of food at Rotterdam. But the continuous gains of terri- AMERICAN RED CROSS WORKERS have been erected, and all troop trains are switched on either side of them that the men may be served quickly and efficiently. Upon the return recently of the national field secretary to the national headquarters of the American Red Cross, after a three months' transcontinental tour of the canteen stations, she presented a list of delightfully varied cooling refreshments served the troops—lists registering ingenuity and thrift in utilizing local resources to make an appetizing and attractive menu for the boys. The prime requisite, of course, in the summer months was something cool, refreshing and perfectly harmless—luxe expensive and easy to prepare and serve in large quantities on short notice. Soap and water and towels, while not on the menu exactly, were immensely appreciated, and flowers were a real refreshment. All were enthusiastically received by the men after a hot and dirty trip. Interesting "slidleights" on the Cauteen activities the length and breadth of the country find their way into the national headquarters of the American Red Cross and give one a very human insight into the work. In one city where it was known that nineteen nurses were to pass through on the train, en route overseas, twelve cauteen workers in uniform boarded the train on its arrival and pressed each nurse with a beautiful red rose. They were quite overcome and declared the courtesy was one of the nicest things that had ever happened to them. He Got Ninety! At another canteen station a lone negro was served. He had been in France, had been wounded and was sent home on a furlough to get well. "Yessum," he said, "I was hit in the arm and the knee. And I got so mad when I was hit I grabbed my gun and I sure let her go. Yessum, Ise satisfied—got ninety of them Germans!" En route to Waynesville hospital, a sergeant with six invalided soldiers applied to the American Red Cross Canteen at a station for a more suitable lunch for the men than could be found in the regular lunch room. Service was given immediately and eggs, fruit, milk, etc., supplied to the men. This is but one of many instances that demonstrate the efficiency of the Canteen service in emergencies. A soldier who had not seen his moth- ory and increasing numbers to feed offset any advantage in facilities. For instance, it is estimate administration that 9,750,000 persons will have to be fed when the allies have pushed the Germans back to the Meuse. Without these additions the increase in the amount of food necessary for the United States to ship abroad is not less than 50 per cent over last year's supply, or 17 tons, as compared with 11,820,000 tons America has long been feeding part of Europe and the contrast is heightened when the administration shows that for the three years prior to America's entry into the war this country shipped an average of only 5,533,000 tons of foodstuffs. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Richmond, Va., October 21, 1918. This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A. ($150.00) One Hundred and Fifty Dollars in payment of the death claim of Brother Elijah Henderson, who THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA er for years found he was to pass through his "home town" and wrote her to that effect, asking that she meet him at the train. The message did not reach her. Naturally, very much disappointed not to find her at the station, the boy's wee-bogee at expression attracted the attention of a canteen worker. When she heard his story she immediately started out in her car, found the mother, motored her to the station and had the pleasure of witnessing a very happy reunion of mother and son before duty called him overscars. Canteen workers often supply the messages for the "folks back home" that are written on the post cards distributed by the American Red Cross throughout its Canteen service. This is done in cases where the men are unable to write themselves. Recently a distribution of the cards was made to a number of colored troops, and many of the Canteen workers were called upon to do the writing. In commenting upon the incident one of the workers said: "The giving was not all on our part, for when they returned from their exercises through the city the colored men were formed in a hollow square by their Commandant and the 'talent' of the regiment ordered out. The singing was beautiful and the clog dancing entertaining." The colored men were so pleased with their treatment that several of them made speeches, and one spokesman stated that he was going to have the American Red Cross Canteen "wrilt up" when he got to where he was going. "It was the supper hour, but my committee was at the station at work on ham sandwiches and preparing coffee within twenty minutes after notification of the time of arrival of the troops," says a Canteen captain in a recent report. "When the train arrived my five indies served nice fresh country ham sandwiches from burgle trays garnished with lettuce. I had to call in the husbands, as we had only twenty minutes to serve eleven conches.

"And if it weren't for one thing I and my chum could come mighty near being happy now." "Tell us about that one thing that makes you unhappy. Maybe we can fix it," smilingly encouraged a charming Canteen worker. "Well, we're broke, and no one can fix that but our dad, and they are 'way up in Washington. We haven't time to wire for extra money—and there you are," said the lad with a wistful smile. "That's easy," said the Canteen girl. "We'll send the wires for you and have the money sent to your next stop." "Hurrah for you!" cried the boys. And as they boarded the out-going train they wore quite a different looking expression from that which they registered just a few minutes before. From the foregoing, which is in reality but a "flash" of the great Canteen service in operation, one receives but the barest outline of the far-reaching effect of this branch of the American Red Cross activities in this country. Workers Take Oath. The American Red Cross furnishes all commanders of troop trains, conductors and railway officials with a Canteen directory, embracing the names of the chapters which have organized Canteen units. Upon being given the briefest possible telegraphic notice these chapters are prepared to render assistance of all kinds to troops en route. Troop train commanders, having government funds for the purpose, pay the government rate for rations ordered. In cases of accident or sickness occurring en route medical assistance and ambulance service are arranged for if requested in advance. Some of the Canteens, designated as "transfer stations," have immediate ambulance service for transferring sick and wounded service men to hospitals, as well as specially prepared food for sick soldiers in transit. All official American Red Cross Canteen Workers are carefully investigated and enrolled under oath of allegiance, and the woven shield of the DAY PHONE, RAN. 4903 Canteen worker, bearing the foot Cross insignia, is worn conspicuously when on native duty. The officers of a Canteen unit includes a captain, first and second lieutenants, a supply clerk and a mail clerk. The size of the Canteen unit depends largely on the frequency of the troop movements through its location. It is estimated that a unit of fifteen women can serve five hundred men. At first both Army officers and railway men felt that the Canteen service was not a necessity, in that it duplicated the provisions of the Government and the railroads. But observers in both Army and railroad service have come to acknowledge that the Canteen is a unique addition to troop transportation. At a time when the whole machinery of travel is geared to an unheard-of speed, it is inevitable that accident and weather should result in unforeseeable delay and discomfort—the prolongation of Journeys far beyond their expected time often depletes the troop stores, and the enormous travel on the railroads often limits the available railway supplies. The American Red Cross canteen service assists the officer conducting transportation by giving him an immediate depot of supplies and helps the railroad by feeding the troops in the railroad yard, thus preventing congestion at the station. In one city the president of the railroad ordered a freight car given the American Red Cross. It was equipped with light and gas and placed on a side-track near the railway station. The canteen unit is thus able to keep the coffee hot and have refreshments on hand for the incoming troop trains, and it also serves as a protection to the workers against cold while waiting for the trains. The equipment of an American Red Cross canteen is just exactly what a community decides to make it. Some canteens in the larger centers are highly developed, while others embrace the minimum equipment. All are doing a wonderful work in which it is a pleasure to have a share.

PRICE 27 CENTS POST PAID 701 South 19th Street Philadelphia, - - Penna. THREE O سلامات منظور منظور --- AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN SERVICE FOR MEGRO TROOPS OVER 65,000 women are now actively enrolled as workers in the 700 American Red Cross canteens extending from the most northern point in Canada to the most southern in the United States and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Together with the canteen kitchens, medical supplies and small transfer hospitals, they comprise the equipment of the Canteen service, primarily organized to stimulate the morale of the soldiers and to let them know that the country is with them and appreciates the sacrifice they are making. It was also organized for the purpose of meeting emergencies which may arise with troops in transit—unavoidable delays, accidents, supplies exhausted, sudden illness or accidents to the men en route. The American Red Cross Canteen Service is one branch of the service which, owing to its nature, requires a certain amount of secrecy. The United States is a tremendous country, with miles of track, and its troops are spread over tremendous areas. Men are sent from their home towns to camps, troops are moved from one camp to another, and they are shipped from camps to embarkation points and sent overseas, but wherever they are they find the American Red Cross has already blazed the trail and is there "on the job." This service, like all efforts in behalf of the soldiers, sailors and marines on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, is rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction. Six hundred negro soldiers were served recently by an American Red Cross canteen at a point in Arkansas. In a press report of the work it was stated: "It will be a long time before the activities of that great organization, the American Red Cross, will perform a better service, or one that gives the good women, both white and colored, more pleasure. They were enlisted colored men coming direct from their farms and homes in Louisiana, going to a strange city and surroundings. They were a timid set when they stepped off the train here like a drove of lost sheep, but there was a far different feeling when they left. The interest shown in them here made new and fighting men out of them. They will take their places in the trenches. Just like the white soldier and every time one of them does it he takes the place of your boy or my boy. He's an American soldier, and all honor is due the splendid work of our Canteen women and their colored wo men helpers." Negro Auxillaries. Many cities of the South are organizing colored auxiliary canteen committees. The colored canteen in New Orleans is in charge of a very fine colored woman of education and a graduate nurse. The canteen has headquarters on the ground floor of the Pyramid Temple, owned entirely by negro capital. It has five large rooms, well equipped for rest and recreation, and date has entertained every batch of negro selects leaving for cannons. It is maintained by New Orleans Chapter funds. At some points, notably in Texas, Canteen service is maintained to give refreshments to the aviators at their landing fields. In some of the large railroad yards model canteen buildings ALLIED VICTORIES ADD TO THE MOUTH TO BE FED. As Enemy Is Pushed Back Larger Population Must Be Cared For.

Washington, October 21.—Allied victories in France and Belgium are daily adding to the numbers of months that must be fed by the people of the United States it was declared by the United States food administration to day. The victories of the past week have added a French population of 1,560,000 and a Belgium population of 800,000. It is estimated to be the number this government recently estimated must be fed.

Upon the return recently of the national field secretary to the national headquarters of the American Red Cross, after a three months' transcontinental tour of the canteen stations, she presented a list of delightfully varied cooling refreshments served the troops—Lists registering ingenuity and thrift in utilizing local resources to make an appetizing and attractive menu for the boys. The prime requisite, of course, in the summer months was something cool, refreshing and perfectly hardless—luxeexpensive and easy to prepare and serve in large quantities on short notice. Soap and water and towels, while not on the menu exactly, were immensely appreciated, and flowers were a real refreshment. All were enthusiastically received by the men after a hot and dirty trb. Interesting "slideshirts" on the Canteen activities the length and breadth of the country had their way into the national headquarters of the American Red Cross and give one a very human insight into the work. In one city where it was known that nineteen nurses were to pass through on the train, on route overseas, twelve canteen workers in uniform boarded the train on its arrival and pressed each nurse with a beautiful red rose. They were quite overcome and declared the courtesy was one of the nicest things that had ever happened to them He Got Ninety! At another canteen station a lone negro was served. He had been in France, had been wounded and was sent home on a furthough to get well. "Yessum," he said, "I was bit in the arm and the knee. And I got so mad when I was hit I grabbed my gun and I sure let her go. Yessum, I use satisfied—got ninety of them Germans!" En route to Waynesville hospital, a sergeant with six invalid soldiers applied to the American Red Cross Canteen at a station for a more suitable lunch for the men than could be found in the regular lunch room. Service was given immediately and eggs, fruit, milk, etc., supplied to the men. This is but one of many instances that demonstrate the efficiency of the Canteen service in emergencies. A soldier who had not seen his moth- ory and increasing numbers to feed offset any advantage in facilities. For instance, it is estimate administration that that 9,750,000 persons will have to be fed when the allies have pushed the Germans back to the Munse. Without these additions the increase in the amount of food necessary for the United States to ship abroad is not less than 50 per cent over last year's supply, or 17 ... tons, as compared with 11,820,000 tons America has long been feeding part of Europe and the contrast is heightened when the administration shows that for the three years prior to America's entry into the war this country shipped an average of only 5,533,000 tons of foodstuffs. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

VIRGINIA er for years found he was to pass through his "home town" and wrote her to that effect, asking that she meet him at the train. The message did not reach her. Naturally, very much disappointed not to find her at the station, the boy's woe-begohe expression attracted the attention of a canteen worker. When she heard his story immediately started out in her car, found the mother, motored her to the station and had the pleasure of witnessing a very happy reunion of mother and son before duty called him overseas. Canteen workers often supply the messages for the "folks back home" that are written on the post cards distributed by the American Red Cross throughout its Canteen service. This is done in cases where the men are unable to write themselves. Recently a distribution of the cards was made to a number of colored troops, and many of the Canteen workers were called upon to do the writing. In commenting upon the incident one of the workers said: "The giving was not all on our part, for when they returned from their exercises through the city the colored men were formed in a hollow square by their Commandant and the 'talent' of the regiment ordered out. The singing was beautiful and the clog dancing entertaining." The colored men were so pleased with their treatment that several of them made speeches, and one spokesman stated that he was going to have the American Red Cross Canteen "wrilt up" when he got to where he was going. "It was the supper hour, but my committee was at the station at work on ham sandwiches and preparing coffee within twenty minutes after notification of the time of arrival of the troops," says a Canteen captain in a recent report. "When the train arrived my five ladies served nice fresh country ham sandwiches from large trays garnished with lettuce. I had to call in the husbands, as we had only twenty minutes to serve eleven conches. After serving the sandwiches and coffee we made the second trip around, and each boy aboard received a Red Cross chocolate bar and cirarettes.

When trouble comes, look to God but help yourself first before looking in that direction. Some of us are having a hard time getting along in this world but some of us are getting along. Thousands of people are profiting as a result of this war and tens of thousands are suffering on account of it. When a man's expenses have increased three hundred per cent., a salary increase of fifteen per cent can hardly be appreciated. God is hearing numbers of prayers these days. Were He not God, He would not have time to hear anything else. President Woodrow Wilson and his advisors seem to have accomplished wonders in a very short period of time. Worthless colored folks were the last to get into the army. The valuable ones seem to have been the first to go. There were exceptions of course. Colored men are being recognized in the United States army in a way that they were never recognized be fore. We are glad of it. Colored sailors look all right on the streets. They look as well as the white men, who have no bar across the road to their advancement We worry too much in this world. Cheerfulness will go a long way to wards prolonging life and keeping one out of the lunatic asylum. This war is a wonderful exhibition of the accuracy of divine prophecy. It shows that history is repeating itself and that continued wrong-doing will bring to the wrong-doing nations its own punishment. Remember that money will be pleniful for many years after this devastating war. You should get as much of it as possible and put it into a good bank and Into Liberty bonds. The government will redeem the bonds. You should always listen to what your neighbor says and observe what your neighbor does. If the talk and action harmonizes, the neighbor is all right. If the neighbor talks one way and does another, guide yourself by what your neighbor does, rather than by what your neighbor says.

SATURDAY...OCTOBER 26, 1918 HUN DEFENSE LINES RESEMBLE HUGE TREE. Allied World Is Now Studying Maps to Determine How Far the Present German Retirement May Continue. New York, October 20.—Events of the past three months, involving the ebb of the German tide of invasion in France and Belgium, have emphasized the importance of the German defensive systems which have been prepared by the foe for just the emergency which now contends him. The allied world is now studying the war maps to determine how far the present German retirement may be expected to continue and what the entente armies may expect when they reach the front where the Germans will stand at bay. The German defense lines resemble a tree with three main branches. The trunk of this "tree" has its root at the Swiss frontier and continues North as far as Metz, where it divides into two branches. The westerly branch runs to the Northwest as far as the Meuse River, where it separates, one "limb" crossing the Meuse and running Westward, after which it sweeps to the North on a long curve. The other follows the Meuse down as far as Namur, whence it runs to Brussels and Antwerp and thence to the Dutch frontier. The branch that crosses the Meuse is the first that must be broken by the allies. In fact recent British and Belgian victories in Belgian-Flanders seemed to have rendered a large part of this line untenable as a permanent defensive position. The line crosses the Mense at Dun, goes through the Argonne forest and then follows the Alse River as far as Rethel, where it turns North and passes near Guise and Solesmes. It continues northward past Vaneniennes and reaches the Scheldt at Conduit. It runs along the Scheldt past Tournai and Ghent, where it turns to the eastward and reaches Antwerp. This is the "Hunding line." SECOND LINE ESTABLISHED ON EAST BANK OF MEISE. The second line known as the line of the Mouse, is established on the Eat bank of the Mouse River, northward from Dun. It passes Sedan and Mezzers and enters Belgium just to the Southwest of Dinant. At Nauru it leaves the river and runs to Brussels, continuing on to Antwerp, where it joins the "Hunding line" and continues on the Dutch frontier. The third line is the original defense zone along the German frontier. South of Metz it is centered around the thirty-seven permanent forts about Strassburg. It runs over the high and precipitous hills on the Vosges Mountains and is several miles deep. At Metz the Germans have constructed twenty-eight great forts, which are so located as to command all approaches, and, at the same time capable of concentrating their fire on any one fort which happens to be entered by the allies. Northwest of Metz is the great iron field of Driezy. The importance of this iron deposit has compelled the Germans to convert the whole country there into a veritable fortress. This line runs along the boundary between France and Germany, bending to the Northeast until it reaches the Luxemburg line. If this belt should be pierced the Germans may fall back to the Zaarbruecken and Kaiserslautern regions which are interspersed by rivers and high wooded hills which lend themselves admirably to defensive operations. East of Luxemburg it is reported the Germans have devoted a great deal of time and labor to the construction of permanent fortifications. The country along the Belgian frontier between Luxemburg and Holland is dominated by Coblenza, which Marshal Foch considers the key to Germany. In this area is Bonn, a fortress of the first class; Cologne, which is protected by a broad bolt of intrenchment, and a series of strongholds running along the Western side of the Rhine until that river passes into Holland. MAY FORCE ENEMY TO FALL BACK INTO GERMANY Should the three lines mentioned be broken, or if the allies should break through between Metz and the Swiss frontier, the Germans would be compelled to fall back into Germany proper or to the South, to cross the Rhine. This historic river is really the Western moat of the Teutonic castle. Its whole eastern bank is strongly fortified and would be capable of a protracted defense if resistance begins at Lahr and runs down the Rhine through Offenburg, Rastatt, where American prisoners Brennau are quartered; Karlruhe, Mannheim, Dresdenstadt, Wiesbaden, Bordorf, Kalyrie. In their retirement from their present positions the Germans will be able to shorten their lines materially, and thus increase the number of men available for resistance along their new front. The Hunding line is about seventy miles shorter than the Hindenburg system, which is now but a memory. The line of the Mouse would shorten the front by twenty miles more, while the Germans, if they should retire to their own frontier would be able to still shorten their front by thirty-five miles. This shortening of the line will be of tremendous importance in future operations by the allies. It would make up, to a large degree for the heavy losses inflicted upon the Germans during the campaign of the past Summer and give them man SAVE YOURSELF Which will protect you and others DON'T SNEZE OR COUGH OVER ANY ONE DON'T PUT FINGERS IN MOUTH DON'T DANK OUT OF COMMON DANK RULE 1 Don't put in your mouth fingers, pea or anything else that does not no there, nor use a common dick cep.
