MAX BLAMES GERMANY'S ALLIES London, New. 9 (British Wireless Service.) Just before Prince Maximilian of Baden offered his resignation as imperial chancellor he issued an appeal "to Germans abroad," in which he said: "In the fifth year of hostilities, abandoned by its allies the German people could no longer wage war against the increasingly superior forces." DON'T DESPAIR SAYS MAX The text of the chancellor's state meni reads: "In these difficult days the hearts of many among you, my fellow countrymen who outside the frontier of the German faerland are surrounded by manifestations of malicious joy and hatred, will be heavy. Do not despair of the German people. "Our soldiers have fought to the last moment as heroically as any army has ever done. The homeland has shown unprecedented strength in suffering and endurance. "In the fifth year abandoned by its allies the German people could no longer wage war against the increas ingly superior forces.

Berne, Switzerland, Nov. 9.—The groups forming the majority of the German rechstant, say, a Berlin message, have agreed to present at the approaching session of that body a plan for elections to the rechstant and to the lower houses of the confederat ed German States by equal direct, secret ballot, following the principles of proportionate representation and all without distinction of sex. The voting age is to be set at 24 years. Proportionate representation in the rechstant would give the social dem ormatic party on the basis of the last rechsting elections a large increase in membership in the legislative body. CLUBS FOR COLONED SOLDIERS AND SAILORS New York, November 12.—The establishment of clubs for colored soldiers and sailors in cities so that the men may have headquarters when they are away from camp on leave is an important function being successfully performed by the War Camp Community Service. This work has developed nicely in the last two months and many new clubs have been formed. Clubs have been established by the War Camp Community Service in the following communities: New York, Boston, Camp Dick, N. J., Baltimore, Alexandria, Va., Richmond, Va., Petersburg, Va., Newport News, Va., Norfolk, Va., Hampton, Va., Southeast, N. C., Charlotte, N. C., Asneville, N. C., Groupville, S. C., Spurrington, S. C., Columbus, S. C., Charleston, S. C., Atlanta, Ga., Austin, Ga., Macon, Ga., Pensacola, Pha., Jack onville, Pha., Montgomery Ma., Amiston, Ala., Detroit, Mich., Battle Creek, Mich., Chillicothe, O., Louisville, Ky., Rockford, HI., Des Moines, La., Camp Fountain District, Indianapolis, Ind., Little Rock, Ark., Waco, Texas, Calveston, Texas and San Antonio, Texas. The policy of the Government in placing Newer battalions in each of the camps is said to have created a problem in some of the neighboring communities. This problem, the War Camp Community Service is endeavoring to solve. Most of the cities have been destitute of recreational facilities suitable for many of the colored soldiers. The War Camp Community Service has been confronted with the necessity of adjusting colored soldiers from the North to Southern cities and vice versa. The organization has impetuously with a good degree of success in handling the situation and is providing the men with the forms of service which they most enjoy. Several of the Southern cities have formed parallel committees for W. C. M. S. one being for work among the white people and the other among the collar. The colored committee works above the same lines as the white committee and practically all the same activities are conducted. In all the cities the effort is made to have the people of their own trace undertake the management of the work as well as the actual entertainment of men. The supplying of a club seems to be the first single answer to the problem of recreation for colored troops. Not only does it serve as a headquarters for them but also most of the activities for the men seem naturally to center about it. Des Moines was a pioneer city in establishing a club for color soldiers. Prominent officers of the War Camp Community Service are Joseph Lee, president; Myron T. Herrick, chairman of the National Finance Committee; William B. Joyce, vice chairman; John D. Rockefeller, Jr., member of the National Finance Committee and ex Senator W. Murray Crane, member of the National Finance Committee. The War Camp Community Service is one of the seven organizations which will conduct the United War Camp in November 1942 at 1500 500. NOTICE.

WILL WIPE OUT RULE BY THE MINORITY RON, JOSEPH C. MANNING FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINA TION FOR PRESIDENT. Will Oppose Disfranchisement in the South and Wipe Out the "Lily Whites." The fight made by the leaders of the Republican party in the recent convention was against the domination of the Congress and of the country by the "South in the Saddle Democracy." I oppose the control of the Government by the Southern autonomy, but I also oppose the domination of the South itself by its oligarchy of disfranchisement and mob rule. It must not be forgotten that it was under the administrations of Hoover and Taft that minority government not a separate hold man democracy in the South and those who are not merely content to have Northern secession domination, together with every law of the Southern question had as well begun to make a fight now for democracy everywhere, at home and abroad this Republican mother headpiece as invades this Southern question. No man is it to lead the course of American Indian who will submit to denial of voice in government at home to those who have it home and abroad, upheld the fight for democracy across the seas. The hour has come for some one to make a nation-wide campaign on this issue and I have determined in the absence of another who so decries, to convince as a candidate for the Republican party nomination for President and I process that this course shall be made. There are those in the South who will recall that distrust disenchantment not only flourished like a green hay tree under Loosewell and Lark, but that Frank Hitchock's steamy roller also put the "Lily White" Republicism of the South in the saddle in the South, as a side partner to Southern distrust disenchantment. This sort of thing has gone on long enough. The time has come to make a determined stand for liberty, justice and humanity, for the repressed and out lawed. Hum like dominated South. I shall do my utmost to press the issue. 150 West 25th Street. New York City. November 14, 1915. RICHMOND BOY IS SEVERELY WOUNDED IN FRANCE Mr. Peyton F. Johnson, of 609 N.

CLUBS FOR COLORED SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. New York, November 12.—The establishment of clubs for colored soldiers and sailors in cities so that the men may have headquarters when they are away from camp on leave is an important function being successfully performed by the War Champ Community Service. This work has developed greatly in the last two months and many new clubs have been formed. Clubs have been established by the War Camp Community Service in the following communities: New York, Boston, Camp Dix, N. J., Baltimore, Alexandria, Va., Richmond, Va., Petersburg, Va., Newport News Va., Norfolk, Va., Hampton, Va., Southport, N. C., Charlotte, N. C., Asheville, N. C., Greenville, S. C., Spartanburg, S.

The policy of the Government in placing Negro battalions in each of the camps is said to have created a problem in some of the neighboring communities. This problem the War Camp Community Service is endeavoring to solve. Most of the cities have been destitute of recreational facilities suitable for many of the colored soldiers. The War Camp Community Service has been confronted with the necessity of adjusting colored soldiers from the North to Southern cities and vice versa. The organization has met with a good degree of success in handling the situation and is providing the men with the forms of recreation which they most enjoy. Several of the Southern cities have formed parallel committees for W. C. S., one being for work among the white people and the other among the colored. The colored committee works along the same lines as the white committee and practically all the same activities are conducted. In all the cities the effort is made to have the people of their own race undertake the management of the work as well as the actual entertainment of men. The supplying of a club seems to be the best single answer to the problem of recreation for colored troops. Not only does it serve as a headquarters for them but also most of the activities for the men seem naturally to center about it. Des Moines was a pioneer city in establishing a club for colored soldiers. Prominent officers of the WarCamp Community Service are Joseph Lee, president; Myron T. Herrick, chairman of the National Finance Committee; William B. Joyce, vice chairman; John D. Rockefeller, Jr., member of the National Finance Committee and ex-Senator W.

WILL WIPE OUT RULE BY THE MINORITY HON. JOSEPH C. MANNING FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT. Will Oppose Disfranchisement in the South and Wipe Out the "Lily Whites." The fight made by the leaders of the Republican party in the recent campaign was against the domination of the Congress and of the country by the "South in the Saddle Democracy." I oppose the control of the Government by the Southern autocracy, but I also oppose the domination of the South itself by its oligarchy of disfranchisement and mob rule. It must not be forgotten that it was under the administrations of Roosevelt and Taft that minority government got a strangle hold upon democracy in the South and those who are not merely content to have Northern sectional domination, together with evasion of the Southern question had as well begin to make a fight now for democracy everywhere, at home and against this Republican pacifist leadership as involves this Southern question. No man is fit to lead the party of Abraham Lincoln who will submit to denial of voice in government at home to those who have, at home and abroad, upheld the fight for democracy across the seas. The hour has come for some one to make a nation-wide campaign on this issue and I have determined, in the absence of another who so declares, to announce as a candidate for the Republican party nomination for President and I propose that this cause shall be heard. There are those in the South who will recall that disfranchisement not only flourished like a green bay tree under Roosevelt and Taft, but that Frank Hiteckeck's steam roller also put the "Lilly White" Republicanism of the South in the saddle in the South, as a side partner to Southern disfranchisement. This sort of thing has gone on long enough. The time has come to make a determined stand for liberty, justice and humanity,—for the repressed and out-lawed, Him like the South. I shall do my utmost to present the issue. JOSEPH C. MANNING, 150 West 35th Street, New York City, November 11, 1918 RICHMOND BOY IS SEVERELY WOUNDED IN FRANCE. Mr. Peyton F. Johnson, of 609 N.

Services at Leigh Street Memorial M. E. Church. Last Sunday, the Pastor, Rev. C. C. Gill, B. D., preached morning and night to a very large and appreciative audience. In the morning he preached from St. Matthew 4:17. Subject, "Ribpontance." At night he preached from the 137th division of the Psalms and the fifth and sixth verses. Subject, "The Christian's Attachment to the Church." Two new members were added to the Church. Come in next Sunday and worship with us. All are welcome.—B.M. M PRICE, FIVE CENTS SHEPHERDS AND DAUGHTERS OF BETHLEH PAY CLAIMS. Seven Death Claims Amounting to $620.00 Paid During October. There was a considerable increase in the death rate among the members of the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem, during the month of October, due directly to the Influenza epidemic. Seven checks were issued on the mortuary fund to in those in whose homes the Grim Reaper had entered and severed the family tie. Those who fell victims to this and other diseases were the following: Mrs. Eliza Washington, St. Thomas Fold, No. 51, Charlottesville, Va.; Mr. Richard Taylor, Mutual Friendship Fold, No. 38, Gordonsville; Mr. Tommy Martin, Rose Hill Fold, Uo. 57, Shadwell; Mrs. Bettie Ross, William H. Stokes Fold, No. 15, Richmond; Mr. William Johnson, Delfah Fold, No. 78, Varina Mrs. Harriet Smith, Pride of Chester field Fold, No. 112, Clopton; Mrs. Mary C. White, Eureka Fold, No. 84, Fredericksburg. It was painful to lose these faithful members, but a source of joy and consolation to us to know that the management of the Order had been of such nature that these and all other claims could be paid without the least tremor or hesitation. We wish to say to you who have not as yet become a part of this, one of the strongest young organizations in the country, that the door stands ajar, and we are momentarily awaiting your entrance. If you have been longing for an organization that is noted for simplicity in its ritualistic work, prompt in the payment of its claims and always on the alert for the welfare of its members; it is on the scene, and its name is the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem. These are a few of the outstanding features to which we attribute our success as an order. At the close of the eighth year of our existence, there were scattered in the different hamlets, cities and counties in the State of Virginia more than four thousand members who were joyfully proclaiming the principles of our grand order. We are quite desirous of having this number increased to ten thousand by September 1920. With our program made out and in the hands of our relentless and tireless workers, we feel safe in predicting that this beautiful dream will become a reality on the 31st day of August, 1920. To you, who are in localities where this institution has not yet been established, we extend to you a most cordial invitation to write for information and instruction on starting our order at your home.

Pastor.—Owing to the epidemic which has been sweeping our country, our Churches have been closed, but the ban was lifted on the sixth inst, and on Sunday last we opened up in a great revival. Having previously secured the services of that matchless, convincing, scholarly renowned preacher, singer and evangelist, the Rev. Dr. W. H. Skipwith, he came on time. Our brother spoke three times on Sunday, tenth inst, to a crowded house. The power of the Holy Spirit was with him, his unfolding of the Scriptures was so plain and touching until Christians and sinners were moved to tears. A great time is expected here from now until the 24th inst. We have already fellowshiped one hundred and fifteen persons and Dr. Skipwith has just started.

TWO SATURDAY..NOVEMBER 16, 1918 REPUBLICANS RULE IN HOUSE AND SENATE DEFEAT OF HENRY FORD BY NEWBERRY NOW CERTAIN. FORTY-NINE G. O. P. SENATORS Party Harmony of Action in Both Branches of Congress Beloved Assured. Washington, November 8.—A Republican majority in the next Congress of at least two in the Senate and not less than forty-three in the House was assured from returns to day from scattering doubtful districts of last Tuesday's elections. Word from Detroit of the election in Michigan upon almost complete unofficial returns, of Truman H. Newbury Republican candidate for the Senate, over Henry Ford Democrat in increased the Republican Senate roll to forty-nine a bare majority. The Democrats have forty-six with the Idaho contest between Senator Nugent, Democrat and former Governor Gooding still in doubt on the face of almost complete returns. Nugent has a majority of nearly 500 but Gooding has demanded an official count, which will be made November 15. Returns from the last missing House district—the second Montana—where a Republican was elected to the seat now held by Representative Jeanette Rankin, unsuccessful independent candidate for the Senate were received today. REPUBLICANS WILL, HAVE 239 REPRESENTATIVES. On the face of now complete unofficial returns the political line-up of the next House is as follows; Repub Fcens, 239; Democats 194; Independ ent 1; Socialist1. Prospects of holding not less than forty-nine seats in the Senate regard less of the outcome of the Idaho contest, place the Republicans in a postion to take control of the Senate from the Democrats and reorganize it. With forty-nine votes necessary to control however, Republican leaders realize that organization will depend upon unbroken partisan alignment. They recall that even before the Democrats swept into control of the Senate with President Wilson's inauguration in 1913 they had a majority of the Senate but were unable be cause of Republican factional defect to elect former Senator Gallinger president pro tempore. When the new Senate convenes March 4 next however such difficulties according to Republican leaders are not expected. Republican control of both Senate and House and harmony of action between the Republicans of both bodies are expected to have much effect on legislative policies. Like the reorganization of the House Republican organization of the Senate principally affects chairmanship and majority control of committees besides legislation. Seniority of service is the almost unbroken precedent in the Senate as in the House of electing committee chairman. LODGE LIKELY TO HEAD FOREIGN RELATIONS COM MITTEE With the Republicans holding intact their majority to organize the Senate. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts under the seniority rule, would succeed Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska as head of the Foreign Relations Committee. Although the belief here now is that the peace treaty will be ratified before Democratic control ends, this committee will have many important after the war problems. Heading the powerful Senate Finance Committee with its jurisdiction over bond and tax legislation would be Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, in place of Senator Simmons of North Carolina. Senator Warren of Wyoming is expected to head the Appropriations Committee of which Senator Martin of Virginia now Democratic leader is chairman. Mr. Warren is senior member of the Military and Agricultural Committees, but is expected to prefer the Appropriations Committee chairmanship. THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

G. O. P. TO TAKE REINS IN THE U. S. SENATE, TOO. Leaders Plan Reorganization of Com mittees WITH Republics in Europe Washington, November. 9.—The Senate will be reorganized by the Republicans. With forty-nine Republicans now certain all doubt as to the election of Senator Fall (N. M.) having been removed, leaders are laying plans for the readjustment of committee assignments and the selection of Republican Senate officials. Democratic leaders were reduced today to the claim of a tie in the Senate, having given up all hope of the House. But their claim of a tie in the Senate depended upon Democratic success both in Idaho and New Mexico. Republican leaders still profess to have a hope of carrying Idaho for Gooding, which would give them fifty Republican Senators. [G. O. P. CLAIM IN HOUSE The Republicans claim the House of Representatives by fifty or more votes. They have carried 240 seats at least. The returns show that the Democrats are certain of but 188. There will be one independent, one Socialist, and five districts are still in doubt. The Republican leaders were many imious today in ascribing their victory to organizing ability and the strategy of Will H. Hays, the new Republican committee chairman. Mr. Hays, who was elected chairman last spring began the work of organizing at once. Since he assumed office he has traversed the United States from coast to coast getting acquainted with the leaders, pointing out the weak spots in the old organization and carrying the spirit of hopefulness and encouragement to all. He established avenues, highways and pipe lines of information such as the Republican organization in the United States has not enjoyed since the days of Clarkson, Platt and Quay, and he did it all on the confidential easy business fashion of an expert business organizer going out to "get acquainted with the trade." It was the Will Hays brand of strategy which prepared the party to meet the stupendous force of the President's appeal to his fellow countrymen to stand by him through standing by the Democratic Congressional and Senatorial candidates. HAYS USES STRATEGY At the Republican headquarters the plans of the Democrats for a burst of national enthusiasm to follow the President's call for support were known long in advance of the actual outgiving from the White House. The Republican leaders were in panic at the outlook. They were anxious to meet the onslaught by protective barrage. To Hays they went with the suggestion that the artillery be put in play and the action of the President antipated. Not so with Mr. Hays. He counsellled silence. He urged the advisers to stand at attention and await results. Today leaders who wanted him to act are thanking their stars that the perspicacity of Hays intervened and that the reaction from the President's appeal was allowed to work as it did work to the glory and success of the Republican party.

Farmville, Va., November 11—All who attended the services at the First Baptist Church, Sunday were highly benefited. At 9:30 A.M., the Superintendent, Mr. A. W. Lancaster opened the Sunday School services which were well attended. The lesson was a beautiful one. At 11:30 the pulpit was occupied by Rev. Vernel Johns, of Painsville, Ohio. He delivered an excellent course which held his audience spell bound from the theme, "John's Doubts and Jesus' Answer to John's Doubts." The campaign of November 11-18, for the United War Work Funds was opened among the Negroes at 3 P. M. in the First Baptist Church, having with us some of the best white speakers of the city. The meeting was a grand success. Mrs. Lula Coles was made chairman of the women and Mr. P. A. Ward, chairman of the men. This mass meeting was called to order by the pastor, Rev. J. H. Wiley, Rev. Vernel Johns of Painsville, Ohio read the Scripture lesson and Rev. John R. Augustus offered prayer. The Choir rendered several appropriate selections with our faithful Miss C. Branch at the organ. Miss Minnie Rice (white) was the first speaker who made a strong apet to the women to stand in the line of duty during this campaign and not fail. Mrs. Lula Coles made a strong plea which will not be in vain. Prof. Marchant, of Lynchburg Seminary was the speaker of the day representing Dr. Woods, the President, who could not be present on the account of sickness. But we can say that Dr. Woods made no mistake in having Prof. Marchant, to represent him for the Professor was the master of the platform. Doctors Jarman and Lear, with Captain Sam Watkins were the white speakers who followed Prof. Marchant and they could not say too much in praise of the speaker of the day. The colored people are asked for one thousand dollars and with Mr. P. A. Ward and Mrs. L. Coles to lead we are going to over-subscribe Rev. Johns again filled the pulpit in the evening and it was one of these spiritual feasts to all who were so fortunate to hear him. Mr. and Mrs. James H.

Deceiving men is the task of some women and fooling women is tho pastime of some men, Both are mutually deceived in the long run, Now comes that time of trouble. ‘Tho men who married those girls in haste and who went into the army ean repent at leisure and return to their usual employment. Governor Charles S$. Whitman made the mistake of his life from a political standpoint in running as candidate of the Prohibition Party in rum-soaked New York State. Operating an automobile that you have purchased, either new or second hand and supporting a family at the same time is about as dificult a task as walking a light rope and you are just as Hable to fall down. At last reports, President Wood- row Wilson was still wearing the suffragetto bonnet that the women of tho country forced him to put on his own head. Colonel Roosevelt picked one up and put it on his own hoad himself. We can talk peace now and the precepts and principles of the Holy Biblo can be taught again. By tho way, Colonel William J, Bryan can take the lecture platform again and Colonel ‘Theodore Roosevelt can con- tinue to advocate universal military service. We hope every person will take an Interest. in the campaign of the United War Work Campaign now being waged for the relief of the soldiers returning from the front. Read the notices being published in these columns and contribute liber- ally to aid a movement that has for its purpose the alloviation of distress among the wounded soldiers and the aid of tho others returning from tho terrible scenes in foreign lands. Money is needed and tho campaign is now in its infancy. Let everybody help. / ‘The establishment at great oxpenso of an Army and Navy Club in this city, operated for men in the service under the direct supervision of tho Richmond War Camp Community Service is a project that deserves tho hearty support of the colored peonlo of this commnaity. ‘The building se- lected is an ideal ong for tho purpose and money has been expended lav- ishly in fitting up the place so as 10 mako it inviting to the people it is intonded to benefit. Mr. M. Alphonzo Norrell with a corps of compotent assistants has beon placed in charge of the work. He is well qualified for tho position and will no doubt prove to those who have reposed confidence in him that they made no mistake in select: ing him for the service, Judge T. McCants Stewart, of Liberia, now sojourning in England, has beon registering protests against the use of the word, Negro, without the capital "No" He will find iti mately that Ure solution of the trouble will be the elimination and disuse of the word, Negro, and the substitution therefor the term, Afri. can, Afro-American or citizen of color, Since we have had the World War, it seoms that American is broad enough to cover all nationalities and races of people in (his country, ‘The lynching of colored men: can- Uinues despite the strenuous efforts of black and white, Northerner and Southerner, Republican and Demo. erat to suppress the evil. We have been of the opinion all along that the quickest and surest method to stop this species of cowardly murdor is (o arm tho intended vietim and permit him to take his chance against ‘his enomies.

We are of the opinion that prosperity will bo a logical result of the outeomo for many years to come and that under the proper management the United States of America will take first place in tho league of nations. ‘The Southland has prospered great- ly and all sectional lines as a result of the Civil War in this country havo disappeared. ‘Thanksgiving Day will he universally celebrated this year and the era of selfishness, which has peon in evidence for so many years will disappear to the satisfaction. of all thoughtful people. REPUBLICAN SUCCESS. | Tho Republican Party of the nation is slowly, put surely coming unto ils own again. Tho Houso “of Representatives will be Republican by a majority of forty-eight and with tho probability of that majority being increased to fifty or more. The United States Senate will bo Repub: Hean by @ majority of two with tho possibility of the number boing increased. After about fifty years, the Repub: lican leaders will find accomplished by the States Rights Democrats that form of centralized government that ‘has beon tho dream of every leading } Republican sinco the foundation of that great party. | ‘he Wederal Government is and “Will be supromo with the fundamontal ‘rights of the States eliminated. The first and last allogianco of tho citizen will be the nation with a big “N." What the war in this country could not accomplish has been brough' zbont hy the war in Europe and there has hardiy beon a protest trom any quarter. Somo few leading Southerners noted the trend of events, but thos were profiling financially by the ro sult of the struggle and thoy did no! dare speak their fears above a whis per. Tho aftormath of the war is at hand and tho indications are that tHE RIGHMOND BLANET, RICHMOND, WIRGETLA & political revolution will follow in the wake of the struggle. President Wilson is about the only Democrat in the country that would stand a chance of boing olectod in the next presidential contest and ho will not violate the unbroken prece- dont by offering himself as a eandi- date or in permitting his ardent admirers (o thrust the nomination upon him, Unless the Republicans blunder ceregiously, any other democratic nominee is doomed to defeat. As to the material in the Republican Party, the elimination of Goyernor Charles S. Whitman, of New York, brings to the frout again the candi- dacy of Hon, Charles Evans Hughes. ‘Tho only other prospective canili- date is Hon. Theodore Roosevelt and he has done too much talking to make him an available candidate. Judge Hughes ts friendly towards Colonel Roosevelt and Colonel Roose- yell is friendly towards Judge Hughes, ‘The one would yield to the other, It looks to us as though the Jurist, who vacated tho benoh of the United States Supreme Gaurt will yet be landed in the Whito House of the Nation, But then, we may be mis- taken and “we shall see what we shall seo.” : +.

George C. Taylor, D. D., of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church preached Sunday morning from the fifth chapter of the book of Daniel, and the twentieth verse. He showed plainly that doom comes to those who follow and worship idols and denounce the True God of Heaven, who giveth Life and breath and keepeth covenant forever with His Church since the world began. The Rev. pleaded in a very persuasive manner with his audience to take things more seriously to ourselves and at last find an abiding place in Him who saves to the utmost, those who trust in Him. Mr. G. S. Edmunson spent the week and last week in Houston, Halifax County. He spent a nice time at home with his parents. Mrs. J. T. Thompson, of 515 Mc Dowall Avenue, N. W. and Mrs. M. Banks, of 618 Fairfax Avenue, N. W. will leave the city Sunday to spend the day with their aunt, Mrs. Ollie Wright, of Goodview, Va. on the Virginian Railroad in Bedford, Co. This is their old homestead, where they played and frolicked in childhood days. Mrs. Catherine Stanfield received a letter from her aunt, Mrs. Mary Stokes, informing her of the sad news of the death of Mrs. Saphronia Stokes, the wife of Mr. Joseph Stokes and mother of Mrs. Mattie McPherson Cook, of Pittsburgh, Pa. She was previously of Halifax County late of Roanoke and last removed to Pennsylvania, where Mrs. Saphronia Stokes departed this life. Rev. George C. Taylor preached at the Ebenezer A. M. E. Church Mission on Tenth Street and Norfolk Avenue, last Sunday at 3 o'clock. Rev. Taylor preached at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church Sunday night from the First Epistle General of Peter, making a very befitting and earnest appeal to all who heard him. The collection of $39.50 was reported by the finance committee, for which we are always thankful. Committee on Finance: James H. Cooper, W. A. Burrell, Whiting Peters, W. H. Read and others. Mr. McViar, a young man residing across Tinkers Creek was shot by his brother-in-law sometime last Sunday afternoon as the report goes, and died in fifteen minutes after he was not. Everything passed on quietly in the city. Not many serious happenings befell the city. We learn that one little boy was run over by an automobile. The boy dropped his horn and in undertaking to pick it up was killed by the passing machine Miss Claudine Stone, of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Lynchburg, was in the city last week because of an accident. While here she was royally entertained at dinner Sunday afternoon, October 27 at 3 o'clock by Rev. and Mrs. D. R. Powell at their home, 220 Sixth Avenue, N. W. Mrs. Essie Watkins, of 630 Eighth Avenue, N. W. is confined to her home on account of an accident sustained on Friday last. The attending physician states she will be in for two weeks or ten days. Mrs. Carrie Walker, who underwent a serious operation at the Shemandoah Hospital, is reported as getting along fine at this writing. Mrs. Josephine Cellous is getting along nicely after a serious operation at Burrell's Memorial Hospital. At home 424 Ninth Avenue, N. W. Mr. George Wheaton has purchased a beautiful home on Sixth Avenue N. W. Rev. Richard Grandison preached at the High Street Baptist Church, Sunday morning. It was a wonderful sermon, which has been the gossip of the week. He lectured at Mt. Zion Baptist Church Sunday evening at 3:30. He is a wonderful speaker. When news came to our town that the boys in brown, had run the Kaiser down, the factories closed in our town and fellow craftmen of every kind were in the parade long before nine. The shops and mills, banks and stores and all closed business to help enjoy the complete work wrought through the Allied forces. It was one day of real rejoicing here and we know that universal joy and good will were uppermost throughout Christendom for the great victory achieved by the Chief Magistrate of the United States throughout those hostile lands. May God ever guard and guide our land and nation to nobler and higher heights. SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. Headquarters Detachment, 167th Field Artillery Brigade, A. E. F., France, September 20, 1918. To the Colored people of Roanoke and especially to the pastor and 'members of the Hill Street Church; It will be hard for me to compose a letter to you for our mail is censored very closely over here. Never theless whatever I might say will show the people that I have not forgotten them and their goodness towards me. Well do I remember the many prayers that you have offered up for our boys over here before we left Roanoke, and I know that you have not forgotten us although we are so far away. I shall never forget your trust you have put in me as one of the boys of your home town who is helping to raise the standard of "World Democracy" over this whole universe, and by so doing I am helping to make it more pleasant for our own race of people. Over here a man is a man with every one so long as he does as a map should do, and I can say this for our boys. Everyone is carrying himself (as a whole) in such a way that it has caused the French people to comment on our gentlemanly habits, and our conduct as a soldier. In one of the cities in which we were stationed, the people were so onused over our good behavior that they sent a letter of comment to our Commander, in which they stated that the Colored troops not only equalled the white but surpassed them. Now about this country. As a whole it is very beautiful with hills, mountains and valleys so arranged by the Hand of God that it would be hard for an artist, who is a professional, skilled in all the arts of pen and brush to reproduce it. Every city has its own individual history, some of which dates back into ancient history. Every castle and chateau, some of which I have visited, has something to speak for itself, possibly being king or princess has lived there or it is full of ancient and valuable art. To see these wonderful reproductions of art and culture and to know that the hands that made them are the hands of the forefathers of these people, makes them that much more wonderful. I truly wish that I had time to explain more, but I haven't, because I am very busy over here. I have something to do every day in the week. Just a line about myself. I am a cook for the Brigadier General of our Brigade, and enjoy every minute of my work. Thanking you for your many prayers. God bless all of you until we meet again. I am. LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER The Hogs, all had a meeting, They came from near and far, Some in automobiles, Others on the car. But before within the hall, They were allowed to take a look, I guess I'd better stop, Or some one will get a hook. Some poet, and it was some time the Hogs had Hallow'en night, at the old regular stand, Proper Tate's Tailor Shop. No, not all were present, just a few of the faithful. Those answering to their names when the seal was broken were, "Proper" Tate, "Ding-It" Hughes, "Nail Driver" Brown, "Dude" Webb, "Slick" Tom Hackley, "Tightwad" H. C. Johnson, "Old Time" Faulkner and "Little Willie." Plenty of everything was on the table—mostly Lam-bene—for the eats were, only ham and pimento sandwiches, dill pickles, olives and Bevo—is that all? Ain't I just told you most we had was Lam-bene Don't know what I mean?. Sorry, Bud, but I am no more responsible for what you don't know, than you are for what I know. Yes sir-ree, we had some time. Instead of speechmaking as usun, it was a round table story telling. "Tight-wad" Johnson and "Ding-it" Hughes holding the lead, of course, "Little Willie can't tell stories?? Nuf sed. But way late, in the early morning, everybody went home with nothing but happy thoughts of an evening well spent and "The close of a per foot night." Mrs. C, C. C. Curtis, of Eighth Avenue, N. E. and her son, Master Le兰, are at home again after a month's visit in Philadelphia, spending the time with Mrs. William H. Hall and Mrs. James A. Cooper, daughters of Mrs. Curtis. The Madam reports a great trip and a most pleasant time in the city of Brotherly Love, where she got some much needed rest. Mr. James A. Cooper, an old Roanoker, now of Philadelphia, who has been so very ill with the Spanish "Flu" is reported here as being much improved. His many friends here hope for him a speedy recovery. Rev, J. K. Smith, Jr., pastor of First Baptist Church at East Radford stopped over in the city on his return to Virginia Seminary and College at Lynchburg, where he will resume his studies. Rev. Smith was called home sometime ago on account of the illness of his wife, who died October 8, utl. after eleven days' fight with the Spanish Influenza. What was that General Sherman said war was? Well, that aren't at all, that's too mild, for it now looks like Uncle Sam is going to get "poor little me," and if he does, I'll be unable to find a word now in use, to express just what I think this war is, but my prayer is, "Thy will be done." So mote it be. A young lady of the city, who is just getting over an attack of the "Flu" is the champion eater of Roan oke. One morning this week she ate for her breakfast, a half chicken, fried, and the gravy that goes with it; very near a pound of steak, potatoes and fried apples to boot; had eaten an apple before starting breakfast and at noon time "Little Willie" called to see the little lady and she was telling about a large apple the size of my head, and when she was told to cut down the size of that apple, she went in the house, brought it out, and sure enough it was a very large apple. While sitting on the porch enjoying the warm rays from the sun she ate all of that large apple,—didn't offer us any. She then said, "Oh, pardon me, won't you have an apple," ran in and brought out three small ones, and while I took one, she cleaned up for the other two. Going some for a small girlie, ch! Well, it really happened. S) Who is she? Well you know who has been ill for some time on Eighth Avenue, N. E.? You know? Yes, sir, that's right. Ain't going to get me in trouble by calling her name, but you can guess the rest. It's Mrs E. C. S. Now I ain't got no more to do wid it. 'cause me. I know something else I'm going to tell soon, I can't keep things long. I just must talk. Yours truly. MAN OR WOMAN who wonders about the future, get my Breast Plate Protection and be Safe. THOMAS SUPPLY CO., Mateaka, West Virginia. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA YOUNGSTOWN NOTES. The Negro's New Day.—Local Items. Youngstown, Ohio, November 11. "Their service in the war has entiled them to better treatment than they have received. In a passenger coach of a Southern train the other day a friend of the drifter espied a veteran of Pershing's Army. Upon an empty sleeve were two six months foreign service stripes and a wound chevron and on his breast a medal of honor. Ordinarily it would seem as if one who had sacrificed as much for his country and democracy would be certain of all courtesy and friend liness from every fellow citizen he met, but as he sat there the conductor of the train came to him and touching his worn uniform said, "You are in the wrong coach. You belong in the Jim Crow car. Get out of here." The Negro looked him steadily in the eyes. "I'll stay right here," he said firmly. "You could have talked to me that way once but you can't now." And he pointed to his empty sleeve. "All right," said the conductor, "I'll soon fix you." Whereupon he called a burly brakeman and they were about to throw this one-armed veteran out of the car when the Southern white men who witnessed this humiliating scene arose. The train hands were ordered to desist and Pershing's veteran rode on in peace, the sole colored man in a car load of whites. "Oh, very well," said the conductor, just before he slammed the door "that's just like you white folks—first you make the laws and then you break them." There are a great many laws that ought to be broken nowadays, the drifter thinks, which affect the colored people. After the 150,000 colored men now in France return from their glorious share in Pershing's victory, shall we continue to Jim Crow them, disfranchise them and remind them that though they may be good enough to fight for Uncle Sam they are still to be despised at home?—Youngstown Vin dicator.

It was an excellent sermon and all enjoyed it. After raising a collection of $5.25 penny collection, $152.45 pastor's collection and $6.59 for Dr. Roberts, the Senior Deacon, Brother J.

(By Judge McCants Stewart, of Liberia.) (Liberia, in West Africa, is the only properly constituted colored republic.) Africans and people of African descent are receiving more mention than ever before in the British Press. Their services in the cause of the Allies bring them into special notice. The praise so generally given them is highly appreciated, but there is a thorn in the commendations when writers in describing us spell Negro with a small "n" and there is positive indignation when the terms "coon" and "nigger" are used. There is some satisfaction however in the fact that a good writer never employs the latter expressions, unless he is an old mossback whose eyes are in the back of his head, and who, therefore, cannot see that we are no longer living in the dark days when African slavery was an acknowledged institution I sat last month in a meeting of fifty colored men representing West Africa, America and the West Indies and there was a unanimous expression against the use of the word Negro. The reason given was that the word is invariably spelt with a small "n" and is often replaced by the term "nigger." It was held that this term can be properly profixed to any mean low principled representative of any race, whether white black yel low or brown and can in no way be decently used to describe a race. The West Africans preferred to be called "Africans"; the West Indians by the geographical name of their islands, "West Indian"; and the Americans had no objection to "No gro" with a capital "N" but they preferred the term "Afro-American," which term is in common use in America. It follows the analogy Anglo-American, Franco American, Italo-American, etc. and it is found in Funk and Wagall's "Unabridged Dictionary" as meaning an American of African descent. After all the reader may say, "What's in a name?" We answer "Surely, an Afro-American has as much right to object to being called "nigger," "sambo," "darky" or "coon" as the American soldiers have to being called "Sammies." And any writer who uses those objectable terms is either thoughtless or posesses the German spirit, which ignores the susceptibilities, the feelings and the rights of the weak and helpless. —London Daily Express. RESPECT FOR NEGROES An Interesting Point. To the Editor. The African World: Will you allow me to voice in your columns a complaint against printing the word "Negro" with a small "n", as you do in your last issue in your editorial entitled "Our Colored Troops' Valor?" But my complaint is not against your paper exclusively as the practice is a general one. I write you because I feel that, if you give publicity to my complaint, your act in that respect will have great weight and be far-reaching. Ethnologists have given the name "Negro" to the people inhabiting mainly Central Tropical Africa, and the term has been extended to the descendants of these people wherever living. Sir Harry Johnston applies the term "Negroids" to all persons whose Negro blood is mixed with that of some other race. "Negro" is really a generic race name like "Aryan," and should disappear from our general nomenclature just as "Aryan" has practically done. Aryans are now generally referred to as English, French, Norwegians, etc. Nogroes are really entitled to be called Nigerians, Sone galese, Dahomoyians, Congolese, etc. But my objection is not to the use of the word "Negro," but to printing it with a small "n." To my complaint in this respect there can be no answer. After reading Colonel Roosovelt's "African Game Trails," I wrote him complaining about his use of the word "Negro" with a small "n." He replied practically admitting that it should not be done. Last month I wrote Sir Harry Johnston complaining that in one of his recent articles the words "Negro" and "Negroids" were printed with a small "n." He replied, blaming the editors, saying that no article from his pen ever carried these words with a small "n" as he regards it as perfectly indefensible to print "Negro" with a small "n" while printing the name of over race with a capital letter. I can well understand the mental second nature, which still thinks of the Negro as a thing; but in Africa, in America, indeed, whovor found, he is working his way so rapidly and so marvelously out of the degradation of the recent centuries of slavery as to entitle him to take his place among the other races as a person, and not as a thing. We have applied the name "Hun" to the present day Germans, but we spolneither that term nor "German" with a small "h" or a small "g." Surely the Negro who is fighting heroically in his on endeavour to help make the world a better place to live in, is entitled to more respectful treatment than the Germans who are fighting to make the world a hell on earth to every free man.

A THE ROCKMOND PLANET, ROCKMOND, VIRGINIA The war is over, but the fight between economy and extravagance will go on. It is a battle that is taking place in every family in the land. Extravagance is a winner in most cases, but economy fights on against tremendous odds against it with the belief and intention of winning in the end. If you would line up with the one or with the other, you have two destinations in view one is a savings account and the other is the empty pocket with the poor house just over the hill in the distance. Increase the amount that you have saved and if you have not saved anything at all, begin the task today in order that you may live in case when the time of trouble would be on hand to bring about your undoing. It matters not how little you earn, let a bank help you. Try a Christmas Savings Club Card and if you have tried this try a bank book with your money to stay in a place of safety with the interest increasing all the time. Victory is in the air for Allies. Let financial prosperity be in the air for you. SEVEN THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE THE MECHANICS SAVINGS BANK HAS BEEN NAMED BY THE UNITED STATES TREASURY DEPARTMENT AS A WAR SAVINGS DIVISION. N. W. CORNER THIRD AND CLAY STREETS RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY SATURDAY..NOVEMBER 16. 1918 GERMANS' SURRENDER STOPS THE WAR Armistice Terms Make Foe Unable To Attack Again. Land, Sea and Air Forces Compelled to Give Up Most of Equity. Washington, November 11: "The war thus comes to an end." At exactly 1:21 eclipse this afternoon President Wilson uttered these words in the hall of the House of Re presentatives to the joint session of the Senate and House. It was his official announcement of the ending of the war. It was his declaration to the Congress which had authorized the call to arms that the aims and hopes and aspirations of the enemies of militarism and autocracy had been fully and definitely achieved. Pandemonium broke loose with the announcement. Senators and Representatives leaped to their feet with a mighty shout of enthusiasm. They clapped their hands and cheered the President as they never cheered him on any of the previous occasions when he addressed them. The whole Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike were unified in that outburst of applause and approval. Up beneath the roostrum, directly below the stand whereon the President waited, sat the venerable justices of the Supreme Court, with Chief Justice White in the center. They, too arose and applauded with vigor. At the left of the President in the corner of the great hall, sat the diplomatic corps and the members of the President's Cabinet. As the sentence so full of portent, though consisting only of seven words fell from the President's lips they were up with the rest of them, cheering and clapping their hands. GALLERIES, TOO JOIN IN GREAT DEMONSTRATION And the galleries, where applause strictly forbidden while the House is in session forgot the rules utterly and threw them to the winds as the wave of applause sweeping upward from the floor of the chamber was sent back in a tremendous echo. Mrs. Wilson was seated in the executive gallery with other members of the President's party. She rose with the others and heat her gloveed hands in rhythmic approval of the President's utterance. She was gowned in black, with a black turban upon her head, and at her corsage was a large and graceful chrysanthemum of a golden yellow hue. The demonstration lasted several minutes. It was brought to a close only because those who were listening were eager to hear what the President had to say of the further settlement that is to come and of the final triumphs of peace. The scene in the House during the delivery of the President's message was in sharp contrast to that scene in the same hall nineteen months ago when the President from the same rostrum announced that war with Germany was unavoidable. Those were days of serious and sober thought; the Senators and Representatives who heard the President that day were solemn and thoughtful as they went about the business of preparing the country to enter the great world war; some of their number were even opposed to going into it, and upon their faces were frowns but betrayed their disapproval. But their were in smiles. They were glad — glad that the war was over, but that it had been won. There was no lack of unity among them. There was no chance of discord over the wonderful message that the President came to give them. The whole atmosphere breathed of triumph and of victorious accomplishment which carried a quick infection to every body in the House. CHIEF JUSTICE STARTS. FIRST ROUND OF APPLAUSE Chief Justice White, seated immediately below the President never appeared more amiable than as he looked up into the President's face and drank in the words which spelled the downfall of the German Empire. His hands were ever busy in applauding and once near the beginning of the President's address when the President announced that the German authorities had signed the armistice, the Chief Justice shouted "Bravel" and started the first round of applause. Seated on the Republican side next to Representative Sydney Anderson of Minnesota, sat former Justice Charles Evans Hughes the President's unsuccessful rival in the last contest for his high office. He kept a steady gaze upon the President throughout the delivery of the speech. Several times he rose with the others in the House and joined in the applause. Across the aisle from where Judge Hughes sat was Representative La Guardia of New York in his uniform . as a major in the Italian flying corps. He received a great ovation when he entered the hall which he left almost a year ago to win honors in the foreign service. A number of those who participantd in that other historic occasion when war was declared were missing from today's ceremony. The venerable "Ben" Tillman, Senator from South Carolina was not there. Neither was Senator Stone of Missouri then chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee which drafted and indorsed the war resolution. Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire the veteran leader of the Republicans and an enlisted officer of the war's gone. And, neither is Senator Ollie James of Kentucky, the foremost of the President's advisers. The places of these men and of others in both Houces who did not live to see the full fruition of their votes on the war resolution are taken by others who have come into Congress to take their part in the momentous problems of readjustment that will follow the war's ending. Not all of the applause was given to the President's announcement that the war is over. There was applause all the way through as he read the conditions of the armistice, which preceded his own message. There were handclapping, cheers and frequently laughter as the clear calm voice of the President recited those iron rules which the great council at Marselles has laid down and which Germany has uncompromisingly accepted. The statement that Alace-Lorraine and I have agreed are to be treated as invaded countries pleased the great audience mightly. Everybody rose and cheered for this meant the complete restoration to France of the territory stripped from her by the Germans in 1871. The clause on the repatriation of prisoners and hostages brought another generous round of applause. The announcement that the treaties of Bucharest and Brest Litovsk were to be set aside was similarly received. The statement of how the once mighty navy of Germany was to be stripped of its arms and turned over to the United States and allies brought cheers and laughter. And so on to the end of the speech. The applause was so hesitant and spontaneous that the President could do naught but to allow the sentiments of those who heard its delivery to know the opportunity for expression, to know the temper of his audition and he made no attempt to hasten. He went slowly from page to page, always calm and unruffled even as he bore to the audience and to the world the tremendous story of Germany overthrow and the collapse of her militaristic world ruling aim. PRESIDENT GIVES CONGRESS TERMS OF ARMISTICE The President spoke as follows: "Gentlemen of the Congress: In these anxious times of rapid and stupendous change it will in some degree lighten my sense of responsibility to perform in person the duty of communicating to you some of the larger circumstances of the situation with which it is necessary to deal, "The German authorities who have at the invitation of the Supreme War Council been in communication with Marshal Foch have accepted and signed the terms of armistice which he was authorized and instructed to communicate to them.

PRESIDENT DECLARES The war thus comes to end; for, having accepted these terms of armistice, it will be impossible for the Ger man command to renew it. "It is not now possible to assess the consequences of this great consummation. We know only that this tragic war, whose consummation flames swept from one nation to another until all the world was on fire, is at an end and that it was the privilege or our own people to enter it at its most critical juncture in such fashion and in such force as to contribute in a way of which we are all deeply proud to the great result. We know too that the object of the war is attained: the object union which all free men had set their hearts and attained with a sweeping completeness which even now we do not realize. pose to set up such a peace as will sat men conceived who were but yester day the masters of Germany is at an end; $ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{a}} $ illicit ambitions engulfed in black disas er. Who will now seek to revive it? The arbitrary power of the military caste of Germany which once could secretly and of its own single choice disturb the peace of the world is discredited and destroyed. And more than that—much more than that—has been accomplished. The great nations which associated themselves to destroy it have now particularly united in the common purpose of peace as will satisfy the longing for a peace which world for disinterested justice is based upon in settlements which are based upon something much better and much more lasting than the selfish competitive interests of powerful states. There is no longer conjecture as to the objects the victors have in mind. They have a mind in the matter not only, but a heart also. Their avowed and concerted purpose is to satisfy and protect the weak as well as to accord their just rights to the strong. ALLIES' HUMANE TEMPER ALREADY DEMOSTRATED The humane temper and intention of the victorious governments has already been manifested in a very practical way. Their representatives in late Supreme War Council at Versailles have by unanimous resolution assured the peoples of the central empires that everything that is possible in the circumstances will be done to supply them with food and relieve the distressing want that is in so many places threatening their very lives; and steps are to be taken immediately to organize these efforts at relief in the same systematic manner that they were organized in the case of Belgium. By the use of the idle tonage of the central empires it ought presently to be possible to lift the fear of utter misery from their oppressed "populations" and set their minds and energies free for the great and hazardous tasks of political reconstruction which now faces them on every hand. Hunger does not breed reform; it breeds madness and all the ugly distempers that make an ordered life impossible. For with the fall of the ancient government which rested like an inebus upon the peoples of the central empires has come political change not merely, but revolution; and revolution which seems as yet to assume no final and ordered form but to run from one fluid change to another until thoughtful men are forced to ask themselves with what governments and of, what sorts are we about to deal in the making of the covenants of peace? With what authority will they meet us and with what assurance that their authority will abide and sustain securely the international arrangements into which we are about to enter? There is more matter for small anxiety and misgiving. When peace is made, upon whose promises and engagements besides our own is it to rest? Let us be perfectly frank with our selves and admit that these questions cannot be satisfactorily answered now or at once. But the moral is not that there is little hope of an early answer that will suffice. It is only that we must be patient and helpful and mindful above all of the great hope and confidence that lie at the heart of what is taking place. Excesses are compilish nothing. Unhappy Russia has furnished abundant recent proof of that. Disorder immediately defeats itself. If excess should occur, if disorder should for a time raise its head a sober second thought will be low and a day of constructive action if we help and do not hinder The present and all that it holds belongs to the nations and the peoples who preserve their self-control and the orderly processes of their governments; the future to those who prove themselves the true frinches of mankind. To conquer with arms is to make only a temporary conquest; to conquer the world by earning its esteem is to make permanent conquest. An unconfident that the natives that earned the discipline of freedom and their experience with self-possession to its ordered power are now about to make conquest of the world by the sheer power of exAMPLE and of friendly helpfulness. The peoples who have but just come out *from under the yoke of arbitrary government and who are now coming at last into their freedom will never find the treasures of liberty they are in search of if they look for them by the light of the torch. They will find that every pathway that is sainted with the blood of their own brothers leads to the wilderness not to the seat of their hope. They are now face to face with their initial test. We must hold the light speedy until they find themselves. And in the meantime, if it be possible we must establish a peace that will just define their place among the nations, remove all fear of their neighbors and of their former masters and enable them to live in security and contentment when they have set their own affairs in order. I, for one do not doubt their purpose or their capacity. There are some happy signs that they know and will choose the way of self-control and peaceful ac commotion. If they do, we shall put our aid at their disposal in every way that we can. If they do, we must await with patience and sympathy the awakening and recovery that will assuredly come at last."
