RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1918
VIEWPOINTS OF OUR ARMY OFFICERS IN FRANCE
A peaceful town, far from the front. A beautiful June day full of perfume of roses; resplendent summer freely bursting into bloom, in different to human plains, frets and agitations.
Scene of the town: A boy of ten years, head like an urchin of the year one, runs thru the streets crying, "The Americans are coming to B _____ , the inhabitants are invited to greet them."
"The Americans"—for months they had been discussed, they had been expected and there was great curiosity. Groups of people go down to the Public Square of the town where they see upon the white street the first ranks of the Allied soldiers. But, what a surprise, they are black soldiers. Black soldier? There is great establishment, a little fear. The rural population, not well informed knows well the Negro of Africa, but that from American soil, the country of the classical type, characterized by the cold, smooth white face, that from America could come this dark troupe, none could believe his own eyes.
They dispute among themselves, they are a little irritated. Some of the women become afraid. One of them confides to me that she feels the symptoms of an attack of indigestion. Stalling, reassurable lady with the all too emotional stomach. "Qaid yourself. They do not eat human flesh. Two or three days from now you will be perfectly used to them."
I said two or three days, but from that very evening the ice is broken. Native and foreigners smile at each other, and try to understand each other. The next day we see the little children in the arms of the huge Negroes, confidently pressing their rose checks to the checks of ebony, with their mothers looking on in approbation.
A deep sympathy is treated for these men, which yesterday was not even surmised. Very quickly it is seen that they have nothing of the savage in them, but that on the other hand one could not find a soldier more faultless in his bearing, and in his manners more attable or more delicate than these children of the sun, whose ancestors dreamed under the wonderful nights along the murmuring streams.
We admire their forms, handsome, vigorous and athletic, their intelligeent and loyal faces with their large glorious eyes at times dreamy and with a bit of sadness in them. Far removed is the time when their inamplificent influence was filled upon the decisive events of the body. Now one hears him elf to have them at his table. He speaks hours in long tails with them, with a great supply of dieonaries and manuals of conversation.
The white mothers woven to see the photographs of the black mothers and display the portraits of their soldier sons. The diaries of our palins become intertwined in the finance mercies the sea in their dress, in their headdress and in everything which makes women resemble women in every cline. Love is night the workers of the field forget their fatigue as they bear arise through the peaceful night, the machinehody vehicles which call us to the memory of the cell labs of that country. In the lanes along the flowery hobbes, more than one blond head is seen moving thoughtfully he be like a curly white, while the getting sun makes blue the old-breaking little and poorly the point of no hit is seen lone. And then, these soldiers, who had become friends, desert. One evening, red and white are exchanged. After they we wish they may be only "An Rewiew." France to be respond to return when fortnights are granted, a degree of those fell and, when the next day, the heavy trunks pull out" in the old-breaking carrying away to the front our exotic guest, a veritable adress soles us.
Soldier Friends, our hearts, our wishes go while you. That display may be meaningful to you, that the buttles of the energy might spare you. And if any of you should never see your native home again, may the soil of France give you sweet repose.
Soldiers, who arrived among us
one clear dawn day, robbed with
the scent of cakes, you will always
live in our hearts.

The following is the article above referred to by Captain Green and published in the Paris Edition of the Tribune:
ARE FRENCH GIRLS MORE PLEAS
ING THAN THOSE LEFT
BEHIND?
A few weeks ago an article appeared in the home edition of the Chicago Tribune under the heading, "Will the war change our Romeos?" This article has been the occasion of a good deal of heart burning in America, the echoes of which are just arriving in Paris. It described the truly feminine attitude of all French women who from infancy are brought up to believe that their main effort in life shall be to make people happy. The man is the chief object of consideration and adoration in the home, whether he be father, brother, husband or son. They are completely and exclusively feminine.
The men over here who have had a chance to go into French families have noticed this, said the article. They themselves have been showered with little thoughtful attentions. Men who are engaged to French girls are astonished at the hundred little thoughtful things the girls are always doing for them. None of the demands that many of our girls at home make, none of the flendifish competition a man must put up with when he is married in order to make an extra thousand dollars to get a better car than N has, are met with. And the writer of the article asked if when the men returned to America

numbers of Congress were being
counted by stuffled ballot boxes in
the black bell counties.
he method not only counted the colored vote solely, but the voters of the Democratic majorities were forced to罢免 and Democrat minorities voted by the revolutionary party. The result of these efforts was the creation of the right-wing members of Congress that all. Although the country will still be Congress, they know that the majority on the Democratic was making a number of elections, there was then no position on the part of a Republican administration, in full control of the nation, to enact laws to protect voice in government to the people of the South.
It then urged action before the Democratic Republican organizations of the North and by articles to the foremost daily newspapers of the nation.
Next came the administrations of Roosevelt and Taft. Again the Republican Party held undisputed control. During these administrations the Southern Democracy formulated worked out and set in motion the conspiracy of political repression, known as disfranchisement, to thwart the power of the Republican Populist movement in the South. It resulted in taking the ballot from practically all colored voters and in eliminating more than half the white voters.

WIFE OF GOV. DAVIS SPEAKS
Great Outpouring of Colored People at Ehnezer Baptist Church—Mrs. Ora B. Stokes Presides.
Mrs. Ora B. Stokes scored heavily last Sunday afternoon at the Ehnezer Baptist Church, when she succeeded in holding a great meeting with the wife of His Excellency Westmoreland Davis, as the "star attraction. The church was packed from the rostrum to the doors with standing room at a premium. Only the aisles were clear. The occasion was for the benefit of the Richmond Neighborhood settlement and to raise money to pay for the property recently purchased for the protection of girls. It is located at 502 West Clay Street. Over $5,000 was raised.
On the rostrum, in addition to Mrs. Westmoreland Davis were Col. C. R. Kelley, Secretary of the State Council of Defense; Judge J. Hone Hicks of the Juvenile Court; President J. M. Gandy, Mrs. Harriet E. Thompson and others. A number of prominent white ladies accompanied Mrs. Davis.
Mrs. Ora B. Stokes was mistress of ceremonies, Rev. R. Beecher Taylor offered a most impressive pracer. The Camp Lee Quartette met with instant favor by its remarkable renditions. Governor Westmoreland Davis' wife was equal to the occasion. She read her address, which was limited to a few words of greeting.
She was a general favorite, as during the recent epidemic of influenza, she went into the hospitals and nursed the patients, making no discrimination on account of color, aiding colored patients personally as well as white ones, recognizing that in the work of humanity and the succoring of needy, all racial lines disappear. Miss Bessie Edwards spoke also.
The address by Col. C, R. Keiley was magnificent and elicited unbounded applause. He paid a glowing tribute to the worth of the colored people and declared that they should have justice. He stated that they were entitled to equal accommodations in service, when they paid an equal amount in fare. Music was also rendered to the satisfaction of the audience by Mrs. C, C. Hawkins' Quartette and the Colonial Quartette, President J. M. Gandy of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg, Va., also spoke. Mr. Stewart, of the Camp Lee Quartette rendered in an admirable manner a selection from the great play of Simon the Cyprinian. He, it was, who took the character of Simon. He is a remarkable character and displayed supervative powers as an actor and treasured.
President John Mitchell, Jr., of the Mecklenburg Savings Bank, was named by Mrs. Stokes to respond on behalf of the audience. This he did to the entire satisfaction of those present. Dr. Dr. W. H. Stokes announced the recollection.
MRS. MINNIE N. SHACELFORD

Stokes, Joseph Wheeler of Selbury Church, Prof. A. W. Honey, Ph. D. of Union Theological Seminary in Glenter Park rendered a beautiful poem entitled, "Some time" with great feeling.

COLORED SOLDIERS WERE IN THE THICKEST OF THE FRAY.
At the Army Base Hospital, Westhampton, are many wounded soldiers who are recuperating from wounds received in action against the Boche in France. When on leave from the hospital they can be seen wending their way through the streets of Richmond. They create a sensation and groups can be seen listening attentively to their recitals of experiences in France. Many scars and disturbances are apparent and objects are exhibited with pride by the veterans.
Private Charles Andrew Hill, of St. Louis is one of the young veterans and is a nest and intelligent looking soldier. He was a member of the famous Fifth Illinois Recruitment and fought all the way from Chateau Thierry to Solosonne where he was wounded on September 28. He was also grazed. His mother is Mrs. Annie Carter, of New Haven, Co. Private Willie Richmond was a member of the famous Ninety second Division (the colored rainbow) and was grazed in action at Chateau Thierry. His home is in Chateau Van, where his mother, Mrs. Fanny Richmond resides. The Ninety second has seen some severe actions but they have won every engagement.
Mrs. E. J. Janie Richardson, Mr. Clinton in Mooringsmary and Mr. George C. Richardson, of Portsmouth. V. visited our office last week in company with Mrs. J. P. Harris, of South Richmond.
Mr. John Brown, of 5 E. 19th St., Southside, returned home last Monday night after a ten days' visit to Albany, N. Y., New York City and other pollinas, much pleased with his trip.
Mrs. A. J. E. St. Steve and Mrs. Don P. St. Steve, the plumage last week on our garden shed, their brother Mr. J. C. St. Helen, the brother St. on Northfield and their sister, P. J. Thomas Burley, the great cat and dramatic read of the book who is now Y. Mr. A. B. Burrowing in Como Lake.
Mr. Zechariah Codes has been to New York for a few months to visit his sister, Mrs. Widow. He found one well and enjoyed the stay very much. He also spent a very time in Woodbridge visiting his friend. He arrived home safely and helped to meet his many friends.

A peaceful town, far from the

perfume of roses; resplendent sum-
mer freely bursting into bloom, in
different to human plaints, frets and
agitations,
Scone of the town: A boy of ten
years, head liko an urchin of the

ing, “The Americans are coming to

yited to greet them."
“Phe — Americans"—for — months

gostion, Siiling, reassurablo lady
with the all too emotional stomach.
“Quiet yourself, They do not eat
human Desh. ‘Two or threo days

LT said two or three days, but from
that very evening the Ico is broken.
Native and foreigners smile at each

tlo children in the arms of the huge

with 2 bit of sadvess in them, Far
removed is the time when their in-
auspicious influence was fell upon
the digestive organs of the lady. Now
one honors himself to have them at
his table. He spends hours in long
talks with them, with a great supply
of dictionaries and manuals of con-
yersation.
The white mothers weep to see
the photographs of the black mothers
and display the portraits of | their
soldier sons, The flancee of our
poilus become interested .In the
fiancee across the sea, in their dress,
in their headdress and in everything
which makes women resemble woman
in every clime. Late at night tho
workers of the flelds forget their
fatigue as they hear arise through
the peaceful nieht, the melancholy
voices which call up to the memory
of the exile his distant country, In
the lanes along tho flowery hedges,
more than one blond head is seen
moving thoughtfully besides a curly
head, while the setting sun makes
bine the neighboring hills and gently
the song of nisht is awakened.
And then, these soldiers, who had
become friends, depart. One even-
ing sad adieus are exchanged.

respond, to return when furlonghs
are granted, here and there tears fall
and, when tho next day, the heavy
trucks roll off in the chilly morning,
carrying away to the front our ex-
otic guest, a veritable sadness seizes
us.
Soldier Friends, our hearts, our
wishes go with you, That destiny
may be merciful to you, that the
billets of the enemy might spare
you. And if any of you should never
see your native home again, may
the soil of France give you sweet

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT ON THE
PRESIDENT AND THE PEACE
CONFERENCE.
Taft Thinks Wilson Wrong in Not Taking Senators in His Confidence—Teddy Says He Can't Speak for American People.
Copyright, 1918, by the Public Ledger Co.)
Word comes from Washington that everything concerning the details of the peace congress and the President's part in it are shrouded in mystery. It appears clear that the members of the Senate committee on foreign relations. Democratic or Republican can have not been invited to a White House Conference. This is to be regretted. The mere formal declaration by the President in an address to Congress at the opening of its session will not supply the need for a full consultation between the President and representatives of those who are to share with him the responsibility of the treaty of peace when it becomes binding.
EMBARRASSMENT FOR
SENATORS.
The Senate must be aware that after the treaty has been signed in Paris and submitted to the Senate they will be placed in a position of disadvantage. The pressure for ratification will then be so strong that it will be difficult for senators to make objections with which the public will be patient. It will have to be a radical defect in the treaty upon which the Senate can base a rejection and face the country. This executive advantage is not present in the case of most treaties.
The waste and horrors of four years of the greatest war and the yearning anxiety for reconstruction and a resumption of peace on a normal basis will embarrass the Senate in exercising a full and free consideration of the treaty after the congress at Paris agrees upon it. Consciousness of this will make the Senate impatient at being ignored at the press juncture. We shall have arguments at length as to the proper meaning of the words of article XI, section, paragraph 2 of the Constitution as follows:
"He (the President) shall have power by and with the advice and consent of the Senate to make treaties provided two-thirds of the Senate concur."
ORIGINAL TREATY PROVISION
It will be pressed that the words 'advice and consent imply previous conference by the President with the Senate before he fully commits himself by directing his commissioners to sign a treaty. It will be pointed out that originally in the constitutional convention the Senate was given sole power to make treaties, and that the President's function in respect to them was an eleventh-hour addition. The fact that practice has sanctioned the President's making treaties without consulting the Senate or its committee in advance will not halt the argument of senators. In stances of such a practice will be met by the rejioner that they were treaties of no such vital and far-reaching importance as this.
PRESIDENTS COURSE
The President's course if he continues to ignore the Senate will be with in his power as justified by precedent, but it will not be advised. He is going abroad. He must rely on the courtesy and self restraint of both houses of Congress to render his absence as little embarrassing for himself as possible. The Senate and the House both contain number of Democratic members who were defeated either in the primary or at the November election and who are now a vanishing view Party allegiance to the President is not so strong with them just now as specially with those who owe their death to presidential chloroform. The votes of only a few of such retiring members would put congressional power into the hands of the Republi cans.
URGES ERA OF TEAMWORK
As the President's trip abroad is not popular in Congress or out of it, ingenious minds would at once devise such congressional action as to call the President back to Washington and to shorten his stay. It is better that he should take into his confidence and counsel at least the Democratic members of the foreign relations committee of the Senate, even if he does not put some of them on the commission which would be even better. He should know that since the war is over the restraints of political criticism and opposition are passing in the interest of national team work in this epoch-making treaty let us begin the new era of open diplomacy by full and free conference now between the two coordinate branches of the government crazed with the treaty making.
Kansas City, Mo., November 26—The following editorial appears in
the current issue of the Kansas City Star
PRESIDENT WILSON AND THE
PEACE CONFERENCE
(By Theodore Roosevelt.)
No public end of any kind will be served by President Wilson's going with Mr. Creel, Mr. House and his other personal friends to the peace conference. Inasmuch as the circum stances of his going are so extraordnary and as there is some possibility of mischief to this country a result, there are certain facts which should be set forth so clearly that there can be no possibility of misun derstandings, either by our own pele, by our allies or by our beaten enemies, or by Mr. Wilson himself.
WILSON'S APPEAL TO VOTERS.
Ten days before election Mr. Wilson issued an appeal to the American people in which he frankly aban-doned the position of President of the people; assumed the position not merely of party leader but of party dictator and appealed to the voters as such. Most of Mr. Wilson's utter ances on public questions have been susceptible to at least two conflic-ing interpretations but on this question he made the issue absolutely clear. He asked the people to return a Democratic majority to both the Senate and the House of Representa-tives. He stated that the Republican leaders were prowar but that they were antidem administration. His appeal was not merely against any Republ can be elected but against any Democrat who wished to retain his conscience in his own keeping.
He declared himself explicitly against the pro-war Republicans. He deared explicitly for all preadmistration Democrats without any reference as to whether they were pro war or anti-war. He said that if the people approved of his leadership and wished him to continue to be their "unembarrassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad they must" return a Democratic majority to both the Senate and the House of Representatives." He explicitly stated that on the other side of the water the return of a Republican majority to eith er house of Congress would be inter preded as a repudiation of his lead ership and informed his fellow coun trymen that to elect a Democratic majority in Congress was the only way to sustain him, Mr. Wilson.
PEOPLE REFUSED TO
SUSTAIN HIM
The issue was perfectly, clearly, drawn. The Republican party was pro-war and anti-administration, the Democratic party was officially pro administration without any mind or conscience of its own and pro-war or anti-war according to the way in which Mr. Wilson changed his mind over night or between dawn and sun set. The Americans refused to sustain Mr. Wilson. They elected a majority in the Senate. On Mr. Wilson's own say-so they repudiated his leadership. In no other free country in the world today would Mr. Wilson be in office. He would simply be a private citizen like the rest of us.
Under these circumstances our allies and our enemies and Mr. Wilson has no authority whatever to speak for the American people at this time. His leadership has just been emphatically repudiated by them. The newly elected Congress comes far nearer than Mr. Wilson to having a right to speak the purposes of the American people at this moment. Mr. Wilson and his fourteen points and all his utterances every which way have ceased to have any shadow of right to be accepted as expressive of the will of the American people.
ONLY PART OF TREATY.
MAKING POWER
He is President of the United States. He is a part of the treaty-making power; but he is only part. If he acts in good faith to the American people, he will not claim on the other side of the water any representative capacity in himself to speak for the American people. He will say frankly that his personal leadership has been repudiated and that he now has morely the divided official leadership which he shares with the Senate. If he will in good faith get in this way all good citizens in good faith will support him, just as they will support the Senate under similar circumstances.
But there isn't the slightest indication that he intends so to act. The most striking manifestation of his purpose is that he sent over Mr. Creel and sixteen of his employees, who are officially announced as "the United States official press mission to the peace conference," and with more self-satisfaction the committee announces "to interpret the work of the peace conference by keeping up world wide propaganda to disseminate American accomplishments and Ameri can ideals."
OBJECT OF SEIZURE OF CABLES
At the same time Mr. Burleson solves the cables after the war is over and when there can be no possible object except to control the news in the interest of President Wilson as Mr. Burleson and Mr. Creel see that interest. The action of the Creel "official press" would really seem more like an excessively bad joke if it were "not so serious." But during the war the administration of ten incompetent to the verge of impudence in dealing with the hun within our gates, showed itself a taskmaster in building browbeating, deceiving and puzzling our own people. It is utterly impossible that the Creel "official press" and the Burleson-owned cables can have any other real purpose than to make the news sent out from the peace conference, both to ourselves our allies and our enemies, what they desire to have told from their own
THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA
standpoint and nothing more.
SEES A VERY GRAVE OFFENSE
This is a very gravo offense against our own people but it may be a worse offense against both our allies and ourselves. America played in the closing months of war a gallant part but not in any way the leading part and she played this part only by acting in strictest agreement with our allies and under the joint high command. She should take precisely the same attitude at the peace conference. We have lost in this way about 236,000 men killed and wounded. England and France have lost about 7,000,000. Italy and Belgium and the other allies have doubtless lost 3,000,000 more. Of the terrible sacrifice which has enabled the allies to win the victory America has contributed just about 2 per cent. At the end I personally believe our intervention was decisive, but the combatants were so equally matched and were so weakened by the terrible strain that our men and our enthusiasm and the million fighting men whom we got to the front even although armed sub stantially with nothing but French field cannon, tanks, machine guns and airplanes was decisive in the scale. But we could render this decisive aid only because for four years the allies in keeping Germany from conquering their own countries had isidentally kept her from conquering ours.
"LET ALLIES IMPOSE CONDITIONS"
It is our business to act with our allies and to show an undivided front with them against any move or our late enemies. I am no utopian. I understand entirely that there can be shifting alliances. I understand entirely that twenty years hence or thirty years hence we don't know what combination we may have to face. And for this reason I wish to see us preparing our own strength in advance and trust to nothing but our own strength for our own self-defense as our permanent policy.
But in the present war we have won only by standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies and presenting an undivided front to the enemy. It is our business to show the same loyalty and good faith at the peace conference. Let it be clearly under stood that the American people absolutely stand behind France, England, Italy, Belgium and the other allies at the peace conference just as she has stood with them during the last eighteen months of the war. Let every difference of opinion be settled among the allies themselves and then let them impose their common will on the nations responsible for the nidous disaster which has almost wrecked mankind.

This and Avoidance of Common Drinking Cups Will Save You From Treacherou: "Flu."
Richmond, Va., November 26.—Let us have no truce with the Spanish "flu"—the sourge that has exacted a greater toll of life than our war with the Huns. It cannot be trusted, especially at this season, for it is a cold weather disease. Even now it is raging in some sections of the country, and in more than one instance it has returned in malignant form to communities which thought they were rid of it. Reports to the State Board of Health from many ports of Virginia show that doctors are still busy with patients suffering from the grippe. Several districts have closed their schools a second time.
All told, perhaps thirty per cent of those in this State have had the "flu" in one form or another. The other sixty per cent had better "watch their step." Some may be im mune, but the great majority have no guarantee that they will not be hit.
The germs which cause influenza as well as those which cause whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria, tuberculosis, colds, pneumonia and other spray borno diseases, live in the mouth and nose secretions of people. F itruntely they are short-lived and therefore can be avoided. In a word they may be rendered harmless by a careful avoidance of that all too common "spit swapping" which comes from coughing or sneezing at close quarters. Too often the deadly droplets of saliva find human targets.
There is an almost certain way of avoiding the "flu" and protecting not only yourself but your fellow man: At all times keep your face at least three feet away from anybody else's. And consistently avoid the common drinking cup—a monace interdicted alike by law and common sense.

FOR UNIVERSAL DEMOCRACY.
Colored Race Given Power at Last to Select Own Peace Repro sentatives.
Doston, Mass., November 25.—The Woman Suffragists have publicly asked President Wilson for a place on the official peace delegation of the U. S. as representing an element here needing democracy. Should not a Colored American, and a radical, be one of the official envoys as representing the problem in democracy in this Republic?
China and Japan have declared that at the Peace Council race and color discrimination among nations must be abolished at the Peace Council. Now the chance is now offered for every circle or community of Colored Americans to take part in choosing and sending at least unofficial race petitioners to Versailles to talk to the envoys of France and other nations and urge them to include our proscription as one of the wrongs to be righted by the new world democracy.
The National Equal Rights League provides this opportunity in this way:—
Any person is eligible to form an equal rights league which can elect a delegate at a public meeting or a conference; and one more for every 50 members over the first 50.
Secondly, any race fraternal, civic literary, political, industrial or religious body, is eligible to elect affiliated delegates with equal right to vote.
Thirdly, national bodies working for our equal rights are entitled to 2 delegates-at-large.
On this basis a National Colored Representative Congress will be held by the National Equal Rights League in the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran streets, N.W., Washington, D. C., Dec. 16, 17 and 18th 1918.
Oh! Colored America, in the day of Victory in a world war by the armies fighting under the banner of World Democracy, rise, rise in a night, and all he represented in a national convention here and thus the whole race elect its spokesman before the world.

Money made easily goes the same way. Don't forget that.
Marry in haste and repent at leisure. Some folks have married at leisure and repented in haste.
When you are hungry, eat, but don't make a practice of eating other folks' "grub" without paying for it.
Men are being laid off from "by by night" establishments. Those employees who kept to the regular work are still employed.
A person, who has many friends and who wishes to keep them cannot save money. Of course, we refer to the so-called friends.
Colored folks are in everything. They are even in the graveyards and the hospitals in France and in the graveyards and the hospitals in this country. Some of them get into prison with some other white folks and some others went through the trap-door of a gallows with the white folks who had to pay the same penalty. Some colored folks' names are on the casualty lists.
The provided image is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or poorly parsed document. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image.
The white men, who lynched a colored man at Culpeper, Va. have not been apprehended and it does seem as though efforts are being made to hunt down the guilty parties. Governor Westmoreland Davis will no doubt order an investigation and we hope that he may supplement this by offering a reward for the murderers. Lynching is not popular in Virginia and should be made a risky and dangerous proposition.
Colored citizens are asking the Administrative Board of this city to lay smooth paving on Second Street from Broad out to Shockoo Hill Cemetery. We do not see why this request should not be granted. Other sections of this city have been given these Belgian blocks and real estate values have been correspondingly increased as a result of it. Second and Third Streets are entitled to this consideration as a beginning. We were always of the opinion that Leigh Street should have been similarly treated.
During this era of good feeling between the races, consideration should be shown and the money expended. It is easy enough to float sufficient bonds to insure the improvement against failure. We hope that a way may be found to grant this request and to accord recognition to one of the kindiest races of people on the face of the globe.
DR. MOTON GOES TO EUROPE.
Dr. R. R. Moton has been sent on a secret mission to Europe by President Wilson and will no doubt meet the distinguished President of the United States in France. This sets at rest the claim that the colored people of the United States have not been consulted for it is evident that this distinguished Virginian has been chosen as their spokesman. Hon. Emmett J. Scott is not talking much these days and he knows a great deal more than he will voice in words.
While all of this is true, Brother William Monroe Trotter is still living in Boston and although a sorrowing widower, he keeps one eye clear enough of tears to see all that these colored leaders are doing in Washington and he insists that they do not represent all of the colored folks in the United States and that the sentiment existing is not properly made known at the White House of
the Nation. In this Rev. Dr. W. H. Jornigan is playing a close second along another line.
They all want delegates to be in France when the Poace Commission meets and no doubt prominent colored citizens have been named for the task and the colored people of the United States will be asked to "foot the bills." This will prove to be an embarrassing situation for President Wilson and his associates should they ever get there. He goes as the living exponent of the principles of a world democracy and just across the street, so to speak, will be a delegation of colored folks, who will claim that President Wilson and his Party have not accorded to the colored people of this country their legal rights and privileges and have not conceded to them the right of self-determination.
With a population of over ten million they are not permitted to have a representative in the Congress and they are being taxed without being accorded representation. Certainly, if President Wilson claims the right to interfere with the internal affairs of other countries, the other countries have the right to interfere with the internal affairs of the United States of America.
It is an amusing and an anomalous situation. Is it possible that Dr. R. R. Moton is to be on hand to meet this embarrassing situation, to speak for the colored people of the United States who cannot speak for themselves and to give the lie to statements made that colored people are not treated properly in this country? If his mission is for this purpose, it was shrewdly conceived and it will be more shrewdly executed. In the meantime, that meeting in Washington, D. C. on the 16th inst. will attract universal attention. Will the delegation be able to secure pass ports for the colored loaders, who shall be sent across the waters? It is a most remarkable situation and we, like the rest of our people, shall wait and see.
PRESIDENT WILSON'S POSITION
We have read with interest and care the very able deliverance of President Woodrow Wilson to the Congress of the United States. It was a disappointment not only to his party associates, but to the country as well in that he did not take the people of the United States into his confidence relative to the most remarkable trip abroad.
President Wilson, by his actions, intimates that as head of the nation, he is supreme, that the Congress is not entitled to interfere into his arrangements until such a time as he may see fit to submit to it a record of his official acts, which require its approval.
He is keeping his own counsel and selecting his own friends. He has lined up against him some of the ablest of his party associates and he has openly discredited the Vice-President of the nation by denying to him the opportunity of acting in his stand, while he is engaged in a mission abroad and far away from the seat of government. Even the ablest constitutional lawyers on both sides of the Senate Chamber are startled. President Theodore Roosevelt in his palmest days as President never equated this remarkable statesman from New Jersey and Virginia in his bold movements, which have shattered precedents and upset customs.
The surprising part about it is that President Wilson has been able to "keep the saddle," so to speak and to defy and defeat his enemies. Will he be virtually snubbed at the peace table by a refusal of Allied representatives to agree with his construction of the terms of the armistice? Will the unity of action which has been so remarkable among the Allies during the past four years of warfare continue to the close of the negotiations? Personally speaking, it seems to us that Vice-President Marshall should be and is the acting President until President Wilson returns to this country and again assumes the reins of office.
But the great Virginian has ruled otherwise and he claims the right to be President in England, France and other countries that he may visit, just as much so as he is President in the United States. He claims the right to approve official documents by wireless and by the cable just as much as he does by his actual presence and his actual signature.
Fow man have the hardihood to make a test of this position taken by the President of the United States. Vice-President Marshall does not dare do it and the indications are that President Wilson will have his way until he meets with success or failure at the peace table in France.
THE PRESENT SITUATION.
Colored folks, do not discuss this war and the making of peace just now. Let the white folks try a hand at that kind of business. Conditions are unsettled and no one knows just what will happen in Europe during the next few months. Revolutions are taking place and the indications are that some of them will occur in
THE BACKGROUND PHOTOGRAPHY, MICROGROUND, VIRGINIA
the countries of the Allies.
The situation in Ireland is one of grave menace to the British Empire in particular and to the civilized world in general. Should Ireland press her claim to self-determination, which means that the people of that country shall decide upon their own form of government and the right to decide whether or not they shall remain under British rule, India will come forward with a similar claim and probably Australia will make demands that cannot be denied.
Evidently concessions have already been made to these divisions of the British Empire and these concessions will no doubt be made known at the peace table. There were some dangerous dogmas set up in President Wilson's fourteen points in his peace programme, which if carried to their logical conclusion will revolutionize the civilized world.
Evidently, President Wilson has had an inkling of what is coming else, he would not have taken the unprecedented step of going to Europe in person. It looks to us that inasmuch as the Allies are heavily indebt to this country, they are about to endeavor to try to transfer the burden to Germany and thus put us in the attitude of collecting our money from a defunct creditor.
What else can be the meaning of the demand that Germany must pay the cost of the war, when the great portion of the cost is due to the United States of America?

(Continued from First Page.)
It enabled the minority political autocracy to get a strangle hold on constitutional liberty in the South. The administrations of Roosevelt and Taft not only failed and refused to meet the issue of disfranchisement but also frowned upon those Republican Party leaders who urged that Constitutional justice be upheld everywhere in this nation. The facts of this disfranchisement juggling were placed before the party leaders and before the people of the entire country.
I spent a greater part of my time conducting a campaign as against this outrage and, as is known, was heard throughout the North. I forewarned the Republican Party of continued aggression of the Southern Democracy and of the coming into national control of the South in the saddle autocracy. Republican Party leaders oppose now, of course, Southern sectional control of the nation.
The issue, however, is that of the control of the South itself, by those who proclaim "World Democracy" for abroad and are, themselves, responsible for a Hun-like autocracy in some of our States at home. Republican Party indifference to this condition has brought to the Republican Party of the North the direct responsibility for the political aggression, on the part of the Southern oligarchy that has resulted in Southern sectional domination of the Federal Government.
We must do away with either Northern or Southern sectional domination by enforcing "World Democracy" everywhere at home, by applying the constitutional liberty guarantee of the nation in every State alike, and only can thoroughgoing Americanism be established except by seeing to it that all Americans have all rights of all Americans everywhere in this country of ours.
Neither life nor property is secure to a disfranchised people. A people having no voice in government is a subject people. The only protection against the lyncher is a fair vote and an honest count. Without this there is no protection of safety of life or property rights. Autocracy rule in America is as much to be loathed and denounced as Hun methods in Germany. Lynching in Alabama is as revolting to civilized conscience as Hun brutality in Belgium. Civilization has no place any where for those who arrogate to them selves rights which they deny to others. This nation can no longer tolerate a nation that has enfranchised and half disfranchised.
Virginia registered 179,000 men for military service and it was announced that, of that number, only 30,000 were eligible voters under the Virginia system of disfranchisement. Of the 550,000 male citizens of voting age in this State only 150,000 are eligible voters. There are 245,000 whites disfranchised. The South is the saddest region of Virginia, nominated 2,350,000 votes to electorate, trimmed down and shot to pieces with outlawry of constitutional rights, that totals just 150,000!
I am determined, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for President, that the American people shall, for once, be confronted with the opportunity of upholding at home those lofty principles of government that this nation has, (and calling many thousands of its disfranchised Southern citizens who as loyally responded as did those enfranchised), fought to uphold abroad. The statement of truth is necessary to the understanding of the situation and to the end that wrong may be righted.
Right is no theme for controversy. Justice is not a matter for dispute. Any party or any citizen must move on a plant that is unworthy of confidence or support if guilty of continued and repeated denial of justice. The party of Lincoln must have the Lincoln spirit in it or else those who believe like Lincoln may finally desert it. Success came, at the last election, as a protest against Southern Democracy. It was rebuke to Southern sectional Democracy and its policies. It would have been a tremendous rebuke had the Republican Party itself been right. It is the duty of Republican voters to put the party of Lincoln on right lines. JOSEPH C. MANNING

FLORENCE LETTER.
(Ε. B. Wobster.)
FLORENCE, S. C. December 5.—Misses Sarah Mc Coul and Jannie Leo Nickles of Timmonsville, S. C. are visiting Mrs. Cora Frucklen at 527 Brunson Street.
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Heard left the city recently for Jacksonville, Fla. after the burial of Mrs. Heard's mother here.
Mr. Earnest Bacote passed here recently enroute to Sumter, S. C. to visit relatives also at Lynchburg, S. C. Mr. Bacote finished high school at Ansonia, Conn. and is now in the drug business. After a two weeks visit he will return North.
Mr. Andrew Moses passed here on route to Mullins, S. C. from Camp Jackson, Battery C, 3rd Brigade. Mr. Moses thinks the U. S. Army the place for a young man. /There is so much to be learned, said he.
Mr. Noah Sawyer, of Port Terminus Ordnance Department, Charleston S. C. passed through here enroute to Fayettsville, S. C. He is a graduate of N. C. State Normal.
Mr. M. S. James, of Darlington, S. C. was in the city Tuesday.
Our Pee Dee Baptist Association closed its session on Friday at noon, two days earlier, on account of the Flu. Many of the brothers had arranged with their appetites to lay in a supply of jelly cake, potato ples baked chicken, etc. to meet requirements for the future, but the Flu beat them to it.
One brother, who knows a few things, carried an old fashioned knapsack to hold the supplies, Rev. H. C. Cooper, the pastor had ample arrangement to care for all. The Providence Baptist Church, of Darlington County, with its members and friends is noted for its hospitality and good eating. The Rev. Mr. R. has already drafted a suitable resolution to present to the Association in 1919 that they meet with Rev. Cooper at Providence Baptist Church in 1920, so that the hungry might be fed.
Dr. E. R. Roberts, State Missionary left for Spartanburg, S. C. on Tuesday A. M. via Columbia, S. C. to attend the Baptist State Convention, "Come, go with me, Professor," said Dr. Roberts to me, "No, I thank you," said I, "I have no special business there." "But," said he, "make it special. You may bring back a bride, who knows." Dr. S. thinks it is a shrewd move in the writer to plan to meet Train H at the curve every morning and at the same time meet the girls as teachers on the way to the graded school. "Yes," said I, "it is wisdom to kill two birds with one shot." Mr. Samuel Wallace, one of the leading farmers of Florence County, finds it necessary to read Negro newspapers so that his success will be greater.
Mr. Thomas Nelson has returned from a trip to Jacksonville, Fla. on a visit to his sister, whom he had not seen in fourteen years. Mr. Nelson thinks, it strange how many of our people content themselves by not reading their own race journals. Brother Dave Nelson gave a fine talk to a young man recently telling him why he should read his own race papers, etc.
BLUE TRIANGLE NOTES.
Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A.
We want to call the attention of our members and friends to the instructive and valuable lectures that are given here every Thursday night at eight o'clock by Miss Marielle Smith, general secretary of the Central Association. Those of you who are failing to hear these lectures are missing a rare treat. We hope to have our assembly room crowded next Thursday night.
Remember the classes! We offer French, Crochet, Knitting, Bible Study and Current Events, this last one being open to men and women, Attorney J. C. Robertson is leading the class in Current Events and judging from the number present Monday night and the introductory lesson we know it is going to be extremely worth while. Join the class and keep up with the signs of the times.
Girls attention! Here is something you'll be interested in. We are going to have military training for girls at Lovey Field on Saturday afternoon from 3 to 4 o'clock. Be sure to see Miss Taylor, who is in charge of recreation and enlist now! Thanksgiving afternoon altho dreary outside was cheerful inside the Y. W. C. A. Popping corn was the fun for the afternoon with games and music. The vesper program of last Sunday under the direction of Misses Marie Bolling and Ethel Robertson was very unique and interesting.
DO YOU KNOW HIM?

American Red Cross Presents Twelve-Star Service Pin to Colored Minister.
SCHOOL OF SAFETY
The Rev. R. H. Windsor of Rayville, La., and the Twelve-Star Service Pin Presented to Him by the American Red Cross.
Having the right to and needing a twelve-star service pin, the Rev. R. H. Windsor of Rayville, La., a zealous Red Cross worker, has been presented with a unique decoration by the American Red Cross. The father of nineteen sons, twelve of whom are with the colors, this genial colored minister of the Baptist church probably holds the record for sons in the military service of the United States. If there are any others with similar or better status, they are yet to be heard from. In the accompanying illustration of the twelve-star pin, topped with the Red Cross insignia, it will be noted that the first bar bears five stars. These represent five individual sons—Bennie, Robbin, Jeff, Johnnie and Archie. The next bar bears two stars representing twins, George and Lafayette; the next bar is similarly decorated, representing William and James, also twins; and the bottom bar, with its three stars, represents the triplets, Matthew Mark and Luke. Eight of the boys are volunteers, and the other four were called in the draft. Upon hearing of the remarkable record of the Windsor family, President Wilson, who is also president of the American Red Cross, wrote to the Rev. Mr. Windsor as follows:
"I am writing to say with what interest and admiration I have learned of the fact that twelve of your sons are in the service of our country, and the thirteenth impatiently waiting to follow them in. This is a splendid record, and I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. The colored troops have proved themselves fine soldiers."
Army and Navy Club Notes
The arrival of oversea veterans at the Westhampton Base Hospital has given the workers at the Army and Navy Club first hand information on what has been happening on the other side of the pond.
The Saturday night social at the club was successful as usual. Corporal Holt and one of his friends from Camp Lee featured the entertainment with their offerings in music and song.
On Monday night a group of young ladies entertained a party of wounded men from the Base Hospital at Westhampton. A dainty menu was served and the men seemed to heartily enjoy the association of their own girls. The boys said they had not seen one of their own race for eight months.
A sing will be held this week in the Reformers Hall on Sunday at four o'clock. A patriotic address by a noted orator will feature the Sunday program.
GEORGIA IS FOR MANNING FOR PRESIDENT.
Colonel Thomas M. Blodgett, Smytha, Georgia, President of the Georgia State Republican League, under date of November 10, has written Joseph C. Manning, 150 West 35th Street, New York City, as follows: "You can rest assured of my support. I will bring a solid Georgia delegation to the next Republican National Convention to back your candidacy for President. Benjamin Harrison was the last Republican President nominated by a deliberative convention. The Republican National Committee, by high-handed meth oids, has nominated the candidates since 1908. Since the Roosevelt-Hitchcock steam roller, which accepted distranchisement, "Lily-whitism" has been diffused throughout the South."
number of Colored officers who are there other as the result of wounds or awaiting reclassification. This particular S. O. S. camp is a casual camp also to which are sent all officers, white as well as colored, who are to be reclassified as the result of wounds or other causes.
Here I met Majors Arthur Williams and Charles L. Hunt, of Illinois, Captain C. L. Hill, of Chicago; Lieutenants E. S. Gillard, Indiana, D. W. Authony, St. Louis, Birnoy Cox, Columbus, Ohio, D. E. Simelton, Chicago, Fred D. Porter, Waco, Texas, G. Uaines, Junction City, Kansas, Herdon White, Portland, Maine, B. F. Rudd, Springfield, Ohio, R. C. Allen, Springfield, Ohio, and Walker of Springfield, Ohio. Lieutenant D. W. Johnson, surgeon, of Columbus, Ohio, is permanently stationed here, attached to the medical corps.
I have never, during my stay in France, been accorded such courteous and considerate treatment as I was accorded by General Rosenbaum, the commandant at this camp. He personally conducted me through the barracks on foot, and then accompanied me, in his automobile, on a tour of the grounds. He assured me and I later confirmed it in conversation with the colored officers, that there is absolutely no discrimination because of color, tolerated at this camp, either in barracks, mess or other assignments.
He spoke most highly of the colored officers and soldiers stationed at this camp, and said he was per feetly willing to be quoted as saying the colored men under him were splendid soldiers. He apparently took great pride in telling of how quickly colored soldiers learned their duties and how punctual and precise they were in performing duties. Another white officer at this casually camp, whose considerateness and fine treatment accorded colored soldiers, entitles him to be mentioned in this letter, is Lieutenant C. H. Hagar, of Chicago, who is in charge of the officer casually company. Every colored officer here speaks in the highest terms of Lieutenant Hagar.
AT THE HISTORIC CASTLE
OF RUSK
Near here, and easily and quickly accessible from the camp, stands the historic old Castle of Blois, perhaps the most famous chateau in France, which although erected in the thirteenth century, is still in a marvelous state of preservation. This old castle has a tragic history. Here Louis of Orleans was assassinated in 1407, Louis XII was born, the Duke de Gulse and his brother, the Cardinal of Lorraine, were murdered at the order of Honori the Third. Here Henri III himself was assassinated, and here Catherine de Medici reigned poisoned her many noblemen and noblemen, who became victims of her displeasure, and here she died.
As one roams through the corridors, royal bed chambers, libraries, counsel and throne and ball rooms of this historical old chateau, still rich in its original decorations and settings, the royal ghosts of the hoary past seem to pass in review before you. This old chateau, at divers times, was occupied by every one of France's reigning kings and queens down to Napoleon.
To whatever point the many officers ordered here for reclassification, or recuperation, may be sent, they seem to find much satisfaction in having the unusual opportunity of visiting and roaming through the old historical Castle of Blois, which has defied six centuries to shatter or decay it. And the sleepy, historical town that lies below and around the Castle of Blois, with its incomparable architecture, its massive walls, its towers and interior decorations, which the present day, with all of civilization's progress, cannot equal, unfolds to our colored soldiers so much of the past as to, at least partially, compensate them for having ordered to this casualty camp located nearby, where seven real live generals, a score or more of colonels and lieutenant colonels and majors and captains and Lieutenants too numerous to be mentioned, some of them colored, anxiously await further orders. Quite complacently, and unmurmuringly, they are doing the "watchful waiting" stunt.
Colored officers awaiting reclassification form less than two per cent of the total number of this casualty camp, and only, perhaps, about one per cent, of the total number of commissioned colored officers in the army. This is quite a tribute to the efficiency of colored officers. But who would not complacently and unmurmuringly wait where much of France's long past history was made?
Here Victor Hugo once lived, and here he wrote the first chapters of his immortal "Les Miserables," near here still stand the castles of Cardinal Ambroise and the Duke of Eperon; the Church of Saint Vanbult-cent, erected in 1620; and in which are the tombs of Gaston of Orloans and Mademoiselle de Montpensier; the Church of Saint Laumrt, built in the thirteenth century, and the old College of Augustine-Thiery.
Our colored officers at this casualty camp, while they dine and sip their Bordeaux wine of a vintage old, but which contains not the least semblance of a "kick," discuss French history of the past, much of which was written in blood, that was made in and about the old Castle of Blois.
Up to date, the most delightful hours I have spent in France were spent in this casualty camp, companioned by the colored officers be fore mentioned, many of whom I knew personally, roaming back through the days made forever historic by the Castle of Blois. At the present time, there rests in this old castle a number of treasured old paintings, brought here for safe keeping____to save their being destroyed by the hands of the impious Hun.
Colored Stevedores Doing "Essential Work" at Base Ports.

age of 25,588 tons, an increase of nearly ten per cent. over August. When it is considered that colored stevedores handled by far the largest per cent, of this tonnage, some idea can be formed of the very important service colored stevedores are rendering the Government here in France, and how necessary are they to the success of the Allies. The work of colored stevedores may be mental, and is laborious, but it is as essential as the manning of guns at the front. Fact is, without these stevedores first unloading and aiding in transporting the guns, munitions and supplies to the front there would be no manning of guns at the front. One who sees the stevedores work notes with what rapidity and cheerfulness they work, and what a very important cog they are in Mar's machinery. The colored stevedore has greater endurance than the others and because of the absolute necessity of stevedores to aid the men at the front, the employment, or drafting of so many colored stevedores becomes a compliment.
Colored Soldiers Saving Their Money
/ for "Rainy Day."
While visiting in the Colored Y. M. C. A. Huts over here, I was particular to make inquiries as to the provident inclination of colored troops, and especially those in the service battalions. I was gratified to learn that a most appreciable number of the men are saving up for a rainy day—taking care of their money. I was cognizant of the fact, before sailing for France, that there were many solicitous members of our race, back home, who were wondering what the colored soldiers here were doing with their money, since the Government supplied them with everything necessitous.
I learned that there are a considerable number who are sending their money back home; that a very considerable number are "sailing" their money away for proper use when the war is ended. I met one young man at Hut No. 1, who had a wife and child back in the States—in Arkansas. When I asked him if he was saving his money he replied: "Yes, every sou. I feel the need of more education," he said, "and it is a question with me whether to use my excess money to provide more and better education for myself, or rustle along with what I have and spend every penny on my child. I sort of feel that he will need the education more than I, and I cannot educate both him and myself."
There are here, as at home, some who are improvident, but, from what I could learn, there are many—a surprising number—who will bring back with them, or who will have sent back home, every penny above what was absolutely necessary to spend over here. In five huts, it is stated, 125,000 ($6,250) more frances were sent home than had been expended here.
The freedom offered colored soldiers in France is a great inducement to extravagance, and especially to many whose freedom, in the way of privileges, had been more or less limited. Considering this, the number who are saving their money is most gratifying.
MRS. HESTER A. TREHENE DIES
IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY.
Trehernesville, Va., November 28. The death of Mrs. Hoster A. Treherne was a shock to Northampton County. She was busy all day Wednesday, November 20, looking after the business of her societies and working up an entertainment to be given by the Red Cross Chapter on Thursday night, November 21. That morning she was taken suddenly ill with acute indigestion and by two o'clock Thursday night had given up all of her works on this side and gone up to report to her Father in the great beyond.
The death of Sister Treherne has not only caused a blow to her husband, Rev. L. Treherne and relatives but it is felt by both white and colored of Eastern Shore. She was known throughout the State as a lively worker and organizer of benevolent societies. She was P. G. S. m in the Tents and was leader of Pilgrim Tent, No. 127. She was a member of Treherne Council, No. 740, Independent Order St. Lukes and was Degree Chief.
Other lodges to which she belonged were: Lee's Chapter, Eastern Star, Sons and Daughters of the Forest and the Peewah Council, No. 3. Recently she organized a St. Luke Chapter and a Tent Chapter at Ebenezer and a St. Luke and Juvenile at Antioch, her husband's churches.
These churches have lost a faithful worker. She worked shoulder to shoulder with her husband in his church work. Sister Treherne was ardent in her work for human uplift, was highly complimented by the white people for her activities in Red Cross work. She worked until she dropped. She had the spirit and vim of her father, the noted Henry Hicks, of Lunenburg County, who served on the jury in Lunenburg Court House for many years.
The weight she bore in the county and the esteem in which she was held were evidenced by attendance at the funeral. Northampton County has never witnessed a larger funeral than this of Sister Treherne's, which was held in Union Baptist Church, Monday, November 25.
"Thus would we pass from the earth and its tollings,
Only remembered by what we have done."
THE DIAMOND HILL CHURCH IS DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Lynchburg, Va., December 3.—The Diamond Hill Baptist Church, Rev. B, W. Tyrrell, D. D., pastor, located on lower Grace Street, was damaged by fire Sunday morning to the extent of about $4,000. The fire, which was confined to the southern corner of the building, caught from an unexplained source, and it was burning rapidly when the fire department responded to an alarm. The fire was discovered a short time before the time for the beginning of services, and there were few people in the building at the time. The loss is covered by insurance.

ROANOKE NEWS
ROANOKE, VA., December 2.—Rev. Brown, of Lowmoor, Va. preached at the High Street Baptist Church Sunday, morning, using for a text, Matthew 34:38. His subject was, "The Unestimated Christ." He made a wonderful discourse. He is for here ten days, working in a revival at the High Street Baptist Church. There have been many conversions since the meeting began and the hope is that many others may be brought within the fold before this meeting closes.
The two weeks' preaching at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church by Rev. Dr. Granderson has been a great uplift to the Church and the community. All who heard him express them solves as being better informed as regarding their understanding of God's word as it applies to the human races of the world and man's duty to his Maker and Creator and to his brother. He makes plain and simple every assertion read in the text and all can agree to the wonderful truth through his wise manner of connecting the various parallel passages as found in the Old and New Testament. All who heard this wonderful prelate have arrived at the conclusion that he is the best in formed we have ever heard. The people who are now are very much like Peter, the Apostle, while on the Mount of Transfiguration he delight to have this great teacher remain with us, but he deems it best to go away and come again. Like the meek and lowly Nazarene, who set a standard for the ministers of all time and said, "Go ye into all the world and preach my gospel to every creature."
Madison Stanfield of 153 Wells Alley, N. W. still solicits your subscriptions to The Richmond Planet at $2.00 per annum or six months for $1.10. Give him your orders for The Planet. He is the paper hustler of Roanoke and delivers the goods, 312 copies a weed delivered is some hustling for an old boy of 16—how many, he didn't say.
Mr. and Mrs. Carey Roan, of 151 Wells Alley, N. W., have been indisposed for the past few days.
Rev. Granderson lectured at Mt. Zion, M. N. Church Tuesday evening. Subject: "Plowing the Ox and the Ass Together."
Mrs. A. D. Cundiff, of 229 Fourth Avenue, N. W. received a letter rocently stating that her brother arrived safely overseas.
Mr. Isaac Stanfield, 66 Chestnut Street, N. W. and Madison Stanfield spent Thanksgiving in Wytheville, Va., where they had quite a pleasant time, though the weather was very inclement from a heavy rainfall. We attended Church at eleven o'clock at the A. M. E. Church, of which Rey, Roobuck is pastor in charge. The pastors held a Union Thanksgiving Service. The M. E. pastor and the Baptist pastor, Rey, Johnson were in perfect accord. The services were very rich and impressive, viewing the sad conditions of war and the ravages thereof. All had reason to be very thankful to Almighty God for His wonderful goodness to the children of men and the innumerable mercies lavished upon the nations.
Mr. C. R. Burks met us at the do pot and escorted us to their very beautiful home, where we met Mr. Harbor Reynolds, a very companion able young man, who rested our coats and hats and seated us in that very cozy sitting room, where we were introduced to Mr. Reynolds' wife. We chatted a short while then we were invited into that beautiful dining room where a breakfast was spread, fit for a king. We enjoyed it to the satisfaction of the appetite, being seeing our stop in Wytheville where we highly valued the and royally entertained. Mrs. Margaret Burks, the mother was looking the picture of health. We left at 2:45 o'clock for the depot accompanied by Mr. Harbor Reynolds, but we had kept our feet under that laden table too long, hence we had to run to make our train.
We arrived in Pulaski at 4:35 and looked after some business there of interest and left Pulaski at 9:00 o'clock and arrived home at 11:05, having spent quite a pleasant and prosperous Thanksgiving. There was an entertainment in progress by the ladies of Wytheville in the lecture room of that very spacious edifice all day and things were looking O. K, if I am allowed to judge. It has been a long while since I have been out of the city and it was quite restful, as well as helpful to the Planet Agent. Of the U. S. Navy was home last week, visiting his wife, Mrs. Josie McGimpsey, of 125 Seventh Avenue, N. W. He looks the picture of perfect health. He left Sunday evening for his ship.
Mrs. Maria Nelson of 157 Seventh Avenue, N. W. and Mrs. F. E. Dickerson, her daughter, of the same address visited Staunton, Va., their old home last Wednesday, November 27th and returned Monday. They spent a very pleasant Thanksgiving with relatives and old friends of their childhood.
Mrs. Nelson visited her brother Lewis W. Downey and several of her nieces and nephews and was highly entertained at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Ross. In fact everybody made it pleasant for us.
Mrs. Annie Fuqua of 34 Fourth Avenue, N. W., who has been indisposed for the last past week is reported somewhat improved at this writing.
Mrs. Carrie Walker of Ninth Avenue, N. E. who underwent a serious operation at the Shenandoah Hospital is home again, getting along nicely.

Perhaps the writer of the article was wrong in his conclusions. Perhaps our soldiers will go back unaffected by the attitude that French women take toward men, which is so different from what they have been accustomed to from the latter-day American girl. The only ones who can answer are the soldiers. The Tribune would like to have their sentiments on the subject, Write to the Editor of the Army Edition and give him your thoughts on the following questions:
Do you believe that French girls are more agreeable, more thoughtful and attentive than American girls? Do you believe that French girls strive to please and are appreciative of little attentions, while American girls strive to rule and are exacting and exhortant in their demands? Which amount to better? Send us letters, post cards, any way you care to write. Your name will not be used if you do not wish it to be.
Our boys drove the enemy from a sector which the French had tried to take for three years. After a heavy bombardment for 46 hours by the French artillery, the attack started September 25th, at seven o'clock in the morning; and in 48 hours afterwards Uncle Sams colored boys had the Germans in full retreat, and had captured this important part of the sector.
The second day of the battle a French Colonel came into my first aid station and said "You Americans have done wonderfully well;" You have captured a sector from the enemy that is very very important to us." You have also captured a sector that we thought you would be unable to take
One wounded soldier who was waiting to be dressed, said to the Colonel "All we want is a chance and we will show the world what we can do Shr. The French General also complimented our boys for their brave fighting; and another staff officer said that the only compliment or criticism he had to make was that we advanced too fast according to our artillery fire, and endangered our selves. The battle lasted ten days; then we were relieved by a strong French division, which drove the enemy still further. We are now having a good rest, and preparing for another attack if such should be required of us. The boys say let it come when or where ever it will and they will be ready for it and show the Hum that they are as ready for this one as they were for them in the September drive. We like to hear the word, (Kam'a'rade) for that reason we are eager for more prisoners.
Sunday marked the beginning of another year's work for the pastor of the First Baptist Church. Under the able leadership of the Rev. J. H. Wiley the First Church has returned to its further glory. Twelve months ago he resigned the pastorate of the Ebenezer Baptist Church at Providence, R. I., accepted the call to and took up the work here. Surely he's coming from the far North to the Sunny South was planned by God who doeth all things well. Under his leadership the Church has taken on new life and every department is fully alive and doing her work in a commendable way. The attendance is large and inspiring and the services are filled with the spirit of the Lord and religious fervor. The collections for the past year have been wonderful. The Su, day School was largely attended and at 11 o'clock the pastor brought us a very timely subject which was enjoyed by all.
The Annual Church meeting of the First Baptist Church was held on the 27th of November to review the doings of the year and to elect the Annual officers. The officers elected were: Church clerk Deacon P. H. Hilton; Assistant clerk Miss Martha R. Hilton. Treasurer Trustee C. S. Blue, Organist Miss C. K. Branch; Assistant Organist Mrs. Pearl Baker; Choirster Deacon A. W. Lancaster who was also elected Superintendent of the Sunday School, Mr. An-
to the gratification of her many friends.
A slight snow fell here Tuesday night for the first time this season.
Mrs. Mary A. Robinson, of 214 Gregory Avenue, N. E., was taken violently sick last Sunday evening after attending the Sabbath School and morning services at the High Street Baptist Church, of which she is a faithful member. She is somewhat better at this writing. We do wish for her a speedy recovery. She has the Influenza. Dr. J. B. Claytor is her attending physician.
Mrs. Charlotte Perry returned to her home in Lexington, Monday, December 2, after spending a very pleasant week at the home of her life-long friend, Mrs. Nicey J. Gravely, 123 Seventh Avenue, N. W. While in Roanoke, Mrs. Perry visited Salem and other places of importance. In fact she was so pleased with Roanoke and its special development along the color line she will soon return to have completed some dental work, started by Dr. Dudley.
HILL STREET NOTES
Sunday, November 24, was Men's Day at the Hill Street Baptist Church. At the eleven o'clock service Deacon R. B. Bailey gave an address, which was very appropriate for the occasion. The pastor preached an excellent sermon to the men, Mr. J. H. Wickes was in charge. In the afternoon an excellent program was rendered. Very able and patriotic addresses were delivered by Attorney A. J. Oliver, Dr. E. R. Dudley and Major W. B. F. Crowell. At this service a Service Flag of eight stars was presented to the Church by Dr. Dudley from the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. in honor of eight of its members in the United States service. Mr. J. H. Wickes, master of ceremonies.
At the evening service, Deacon R. B. Bailey in charge, papers were read by the following: Messrs. Moses Powell, Alexander Smith, G. S. Edmonson and James Swift, which were all very good and suitable to the occasion. The choir rendered excellent music during the entire day, all of its members being present at the three services.
On the following Monday night, the 25th, a Harvest Home Festival was served in the lecture room of the Church, which was indeed a success.
Sunday, December 1, was Women's Day. Mrs. Annie Bailey had charge of services during the entire day. At 11 A. M. the pastor, Rev. Powell preached a special sermon to the Women. Paper, subject, "How to Employ Idle Churches and Children" was read by Miss M. C. Bailey.
In the afternoon the principal speaker was Mrs. C. E. Allen Bozotra Salem, Va., ex-Field Secretary W. B. S. E. Convention, who delivered a most able address on, "Woman's Duty to Church and Community." This address was full of wholesome truths and inspiration. An excellent paper, subject, "Woman," was read by Mrs. Azalina Hackley, one of our leading school teachers; solos by Mrs. Reesby, Miss Lessyse Lucas and Mrs. G. E. Moore and duet by Misses Marlon C. and Ella F. Bowden were enjoyed by all, as usual, for they are indeed sweet singers.
At the evening service devotionals were conducted by Mrs. Letha Bell Rhodes. A paper on, "Woman's Day was read by Mrs. Annie Thomas which was very good. A duet was sung by Mrs. Powell and Miss Edwards. A most appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. J. Marable the Blind Evangelist, pastor New Hope Baptist Church, Prince Edward County. The deaconesses for the entire day were Mistresses Lessyoe Edwards, Margaret Davis, Abbie Rhodes, Lillie Swift, Lucy Slaughter, Florence Wickes, Laura Stone, Rosa White and Ollie Rucker. The ushers were Misses Lucile Rhodes, Ruth Edwards, Julia Jones, Rosa Miller and M. C. Bailey. Mrs. Annie Bailey was mistress of ceremonies.
The choir served at the three services and rendered most excellent music. We all can see the splendid improvement of our choir under the excellent leadership of our organist and choristress, Mrs. Joanno Reese and the president, David R. Jones.
A NEW SURE- ENOUGH CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
One of Our Downtown Druggists Says Prescription No. C:2223 Has Made Many Wonderful Cures of Worst Cases, and It Don't Cost Much, Either.
One of our downtown prescription druggists told our reporter that he has a heavy sale on the prescription C:2223 for the relief and cure of the worst forms of rheumatism. We advise everybody who suffers from rheumatism to keep off the damp ground, keep the feet dry, drink lots of pure water and take a daily dose of Prescription C:2223 to keep down and expel the uric acid from the blood.
Those terrible aches and pains, swollen muscles, aching back and every form of rheumatism can be easily cured by following these few simple directions and taking the dose indicated on every bottle of C-2223. So many remarkable cures have been made by this wonderful prescription that any of our residents who suffer are urged and advised to ask any of our prescription drug stores for Prescription C-2223 and take it on directed on the prescription pasted on each bottle.
A physician's large bottle sent to any one, prepaid for 60 cents. Address, C-2223 Laboratories, Dept. D, Memphis, Tenn.

they wouldn't demand a little more of this attention, a different attitude on the part of the women that the rather disinterested, independent, un emotional air of American girls, who make the men dance attendance instead of trying to please.
Scores of letters have come to the Tribune from American girls who feel that this means a rivalry with the French and they resent it.

Last month proved to be one of the most successful months in France, for the allies as they succeeded in driving the enemy many miles back, and capturing thousands of German prisoners.
The Ocgrø soldiers of America who took part in this successful drive, were the 92nd division; 370th, 371st; 372nd, and the 369th; or the well known 15th New York Regiment. These soldiers were very successful as they captured six towns, many Ammunition Dumps and thousands of German prisoners.

drew Jackson Care-taker of the church and grounds; Mr. German Baker, Chairman of the Board of Ushers. The Usheres are: Messrs. Walter Reed Daniel Brown, Robert Coles; John Paige, William Paige. The report read by the Clerk was very encouraging, every debt of the Church has been paid off during the year. And then the purchasing of chairs for the Sunday School room leaves the Church with something over four hundred dollars to be paid off by Easter if it's the Master's will.
There were several additions to the Church during the year, but there are some vacancies created by death which cannot be readily filled viz Deacon J. D. Miller, and Deacon P. B. Halrston. The pastor congratulates the church upon having an efficient Board of Officers who have worked hard with the pastor to bring good results. Although much good has been accomplished during the year the pastor is not satisfied, he wishes to see greater results for good at the end of another year. If it pleases the Master that we all work together to see such an end. The pastor and Rev. Frank Ellis brought the church some good reports and encouraging remarks from the General Association. They urged the pope to prepare themselves for the great meeting in Richmond next July.
A. M. E. CHURCH.
Sunday was indeed a high day in Zion with the members of the Beulah A. M. E. Church, Mrs. J. H. Hunter of Portsmouth, Va., who is the Pres., of the Women's Mite Mission Society now on her tour through the district was with us. Mrs. Hunt or is one one of the Evangelists of the A. M. E. church. The theme of her discourse was "Beware of little Sins." The subject was well delivered and one's duty to avoid little sins made clear.
A special appeal to take more interest in the missionary work is a call no true Christian can resist, and many said a no interest had awakened to do more work in the Master's vineyard.
Now that the Epidemic of Influenza seemed to have spent itself the leagues children are gathering again and hope to create much interest among the young people. Mrs. J. R. Augus tius is uniting in her great efforts to help the young lambs into the fold.

Reg. Band 370 Infantry
A. E. F. France, Oct. 24, 1918
Dear Moher—I just received both of your letters containing the letter of Clarence. I was indeed glad to hear from you.. I sent you a letter this morning but after receiving your last two letters I am writing again tonight. I also got three letters from Nello along with yours. I have been hearing from you regularly now, and I think I have most of the letters you have written me since I left St. Nazane.
Tell Chrence I admire his ambition and patriotism in being so anxious to get to the front. I hope his desire may be granted but if he thinks that he will have some jing on me he is mistaken. If he was in school on the 6th of September , why he is only an amateur. On September 16th the Reg., marched into the third line and on the following day into the front, the band right along with them. We went on the front line a little beans, an American little beans is only a match on the front. I much rather carry the gun 2 to 1, but God must be for me for men have died in my hands and been shot down all around me and I am still well and healthy. I remained on the front for seven days and nights then was relieved. The band worked faithfully but I guess the Colonel rather than to see the band shot to pieces relieved it. The Regiment stayed in until October 20th. We are still in reserve but I don't think we will have to go back any time soon.
I wrote you before and told you I was having all the experiences that a soldier could have. I am not writting this to worry you me but I want some one back home to rejoice with me after going through so much and coming out again. What I am going through is not killing me but only pre paring me to live so when you think of me don't let sad thoughts run through your mind for I am living as usual and trying to make the most of everything at all time. Glad you enjoyed your trip this summer. I hope Phil got back to school O. K. You all may rest contented for wo both will be back to you soon. Bosche is running so fast that we hardly can keep up with them. Clarence better hurry and get some of it before its too late. If you get this letter I may write you a letter more of my history. When has Aunt Annie been down? Give my best love to her and Grandma.
Love to all, As ever your son,
