MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, IR MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, IR THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA JAN 28 1925 STATE LIBRARY MINISTERS CONFERENCE TAKES ACTION The Pulpit to Air Dreyfus Store Case Tomorrow. Stay Away From Objectionable Business Places-Discussion by Able Divines VOLUME XLIII NO. 11 MINIS The Pu Stay Away The committee from the Baptist Minister's Conference for Richmond and Vicinity made its report to that body last Monday morning at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Rev. Evans Payne, D. D., president, presiding. It dealt with the action of Dreyfus and Company, 201 E. Broad Street, in posting signs in the store prohibiting colored people from trying on merchandise. Rev. Dr. W. L. Ransome, spokesman for the committee stated the purpose of the visit to the president of the concern, upon the occasion of the visit to the establishment January 5, 1926. COURTEOUSLY TREATED. The president treated the committee courteously and gave as the reasons for the action of the concern that 95 or 98 percent of the trade consisted of white people. These customers objected to trying on clothing, that colored people in their presence had tried on. Colored trade had never been sought or encouraged. Some of the best white customers would come in and walk out because of existing condition. He regarded catering to white customers more satisfactory and not primarily to increase business. GENERAL DISCUSSION. There was a general discussion led by Rev. Dr. Ransome. The committee protested against the display of signs and informed the president that it was a source of embarrassment to colored citizens of Richmond and vicinity, to the social maladjustment. It was undemocratic, unsocial, woefully lacking in humanitarianism and essentially non-Christian and that it was necessary to inform the colored people of conditions at this store. ACTION WAS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED. The president of the Dreyfus and Company store stated that they had carefully considered all phases of the situation before taking action. He did not claim authenticity for his conclusions. He stated that an effort had been made to meet the situation by providing separate rooms, but this was found not to be available for the hat department. He wanted to have suggestions from the committee as to how best deal with the situation. WANTED SIGNS DOWN The committee suggested that he take the signs down and continue his former policy, since he admitted that he was more likely to lose by losing colored trade than the white trade he would gain, who objected to former conditions. He was advised to try departmental method, that it was better to have clerks inform colored patrons of conditions than to display signs to that effect. WOULD CHANGE WORDING The president suggested that the phraseology of the signs be changed to read "Will try on garments for white only", and that he would take down the signs around February 1, 1926 and have clerks inform colored people of the policy of the company. He called this meeting the ministerial committee "hall way". Dr. Ransome concluded with an eloquent plea for fair and Christian idealism irrespective of economic and material well being. He informed the company's representative that they would give the colored public through the churches a corresponding statement of the store's pronounced policy. REPORT ADOPTED. The committee signed the report as follows: Rev. J. A. Brinkey, REV. DR. Z. D. LEWIS TENDERS RESIGNATION Pastor of Second Bapt. Church Makes Conditional Offer No Reason Assigned—Church Members to Consider Matter February 1st Rev. Z. B. Lewis, D. D., pastor of the Second Baptist Church has tendered a conditional resignation to the church. It will come up for action on the first Monday in February. Under its provisions, the church is to retire the able divine upon a salary of ($160,00) one hundred dollars per month. The original plan was to provide him with an assistant pastor. By this arrangement the new pastor will have a free rein in the management of the aunts of the church. Rev. Joseph Arrington is mentioned as his most probable successor, should the church decide to accept the resignation. Rev. Dr. Lewis, a though slightly disabled by a stroke of paralysis is still able to discharge his duties as pastor. chairman; Rev. E. C. Smith, secretary; Rev. W. L. Ransome, Rev. A. W. Brown, Rev. J. E. Fountain. The report was unanimously adopted and all members of the conference decided to make a statement from their pupils Sunday, January 24th, advising colored people to stay away from Dreyfus and Company's establishment.

For the second time in the New Year, the grim monster death has invaded the ranks of the Deacon Board of the Fifth Street Baptist Church and removed from our militia the soul of our brother and co-worker, Deacon Powhatan Baker. We bow our heads in sadness at his passing. A Christian gentleman in the trust sense of the term, a faithful servant of his fellowman, a loyal supporter of his church, a strong believer in God, was attested by all who knew him. In his health, he heeded every call of duty made by his church; and cheerfully gave of his means that the kingdom of Christ might spread over the earth. In his sickness, he was none the less faithful and through the dark clouds of his affection, the radiant sunlight of his countenance gave hope even to those who sought to cheer him. How we remember when visiting him when the hand of affection laid heavily upon him, in the midst of it all, he gave us to understand that The unfortunate part of the affair is that the action of this concern has tended to rupture the friendly feeling produced by the recent Elk parade in this city.

Richmond, Va., January 10 1926. For the second time in the New Year, the grim monster death has invaded the ranks of the Deacon Board of the Fifth Street Baptist Church and removed from our mistle the soul of our brother and coworker, Deacon Powhatan Baker. We bow our heads in sadness at his passing. A Christian gentleman in the truest sense of the term, a faithful servant of his fellowman, a loyal supporter of his church, a strong believer in God, was attested by all who knew him. In his health, he heeded every call of duty made by his church; and cheerfully gave of his means that the kingdom of Christ might spread over the earth. In his sickness, he was none the less faithful and through the dark clouds of his affliction, the radiant sunlight of his countenance gave hope even to those who sought to cheer him. How we remember when visiting him when the hand of affliction laid heavily upon him, in the midst of it all, he gave us to understand that he was trusting it to the Lord and felt that it would be better bye and bye. Fifth Street has lost a true friend, a faithful member; the Deacon Board a true and tried co-'aborer, a servant of God, a friend to man. We can but bow in humble submission to the will of God in calling to Himself His own. We share with the family the sting of the wound made by the severing of the presence of our beloved brother and their faithful father. Let us take fresh courage to put forth greater zeal to fit ourselves for the Kingdom above where we hope to meet our dear brother with the innumerable throng, which has crossed the tide and awaits our coming in the City of our God. Tis finished, all is finished. His fight with death and sin. Fling open wide the golden gates. And let the victor in. Good night, Deacon Baker, we shall meet you in the morning.

Rev. R. H. Walker, the famous evangelist has had great success at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church during the past two weeks. More than one hundred conversions have been the result of his powerful appeals to the ungodly. Last Sunday was a record breaker in the history of similar meetings at this great edifice. Hundreds were unable to secure admission in the morning and the congregation is reluctant over having him discontinue his abors there. However, he will preach Sunday morning at the Second Baptist Church, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, pastor and revival services will be continued during all of next week. His last sermon at this church will be delivered on the fifth Sunday in this month. Rev. Walker is much pleased with his treatment here. Rev. A. W. Brown is outspoken in the commendation of his work, paying a glowing tribute to his oratorical deliverances in that famous edifice. Rev, Dr. T. J. King has returned to the city after a visit to Pittsburgh. His great work here in the building of the new Fifth Street Baptist Church is progressing rapidly and more is in hand to meet the present obligations.

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Country Girls Get Into Trouble Quicker in City, Policewoman Says TEN country girls get into trouble in the city to one city girl, according to Miss Florence Swett, veteran San Francisco policewoman. "City girls are better able to take care of themselves and withstand the temptations of life," she says. "Country girls come to the city without money and without jobs. They are not fitted for city life. When they are broke they appeal to some man and in a very short time they land in court. It is an old story but a frequent one. She Gets Lonesome "City girls know how to get a position. They go from school into a factory or office. They seldom get into trouble. "The girl from the country is lonesome. She has no acquaintances. The friends most easily made are those who get her in trouble. The city girl is not so glible. "Country girls pour into the cities, expecting fine clothes and fine jobs. They would be better off if they stayed at home. "Many girls leave home for the movies. After falling in Hollywood they come to San Francisco—for work. They soon get into trouble. "Most girls who are arrested for theft for the first time have fallen because of their love of finery. They see other girls with silk lingerie, vanity cases and expensive clothes and they want them. "During every Christmas season at least five girls a day are brought to me—for shoplifting. Most of them say they stole because they had no money for gifts. SFP MISS FLORENCE SWETT They are victims of circumstances. Many start their lives of crime because of the love of a man. "Women are better than men. There are 2000 men in San Quentin prison and only 99 women. When I have 20 women in the only prison, there are at least 200 men to say." They are victims of circumstances. There are 3000 men in San Quentin Many start their lives of crime because of the love of a man. There are 20 women in the city prison. "Women are better than men.

SATURDAY...JANUARY 23, 1926 WELLING THE TRUTH leads to arrassments sometimes, but it pays in the long run. TOUELL FIND more Scriptures in some localities and families than you can find the practices of the Divine Master. YOU CANNOT have pure women, without pure mothers, although there are many instances of where there have been pure mothers with pure daughters. UNDER OBRTAIN conditions, a white person will eat after a colored one and a colored one after a white one and neither the one nor the other is any wiser. THE BAPTIST Ministers' Conference stood, "four square" \on that Dreyfus and Company matter. If that concern does not want our money, we do not want its goods. IT WOULD SEEM that Dreyfus and Company have run out of gowns and hats when they have not enough commodities to go around, so that an article tried on a colored person must be handed over to be tried on a white person and vice-versa. The manager should visit the bargain counters on bargain day. OLD PEOPLE usually call white cranks like those Dreyfus and Company are trying to satisfactorily handle, "nice-nasty". They stir up trouble by unsetting conditions and making more trouble. Business is business and money is money, even in the hands of a Negro. MODESTV is a pearl of great value, difficult to be found among the women of this day and time. Men are largely responsible for this condition due to their lack of appreciation of females, who possess it and their adulthood of the other kind, who glory in their brazenness and frolics in their shame WOMAN'S RIGHTS are all right, but they should be exercised by females per middle age. The exercise of them ends to make men regard women as other men and to disregard those Chesterfieldan courtesies that made the Southland famous and Old Eng and a shrine. ONE THING we kow, the average white man will not make any discrimination in drinking out of a whiskey bottle. When he wants a "dram" and a coated man has a bottle, out of which this same coated man has been drinking, he will sometimes take a drink without even wiping off the mouth with the palm of his hand. He believes that the alcohol destroys the germs as he is destroying the liquor. WHEN YOU FIND a cooled man carrying up ill-feeling against the white folks, put him in the same class of the white man, who is still carrying up ill-feeling against the colored folks and ignore both of them. They are on the road to perdition and they should be made to know it. We must live here with these white folks and the white folks must live here with us and it is time that both of us know it and make the best of the situation. COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES SENATOR CARAWAY'S BILL Senator Caraway, the ardent Arkansas democrat, has again breathed the breath of life into the ashes of Rome by introducing into the United States Senate a bill to prohibit intermarriage between whites and blacks within the District of Columbia, and the residence in the Nation's Capital of such persons married in other States or territories, which do not ban such marital ventures. The bill provides heavy penalties for such infractions of racial admixtures, and is the federal counterpart of similar statutes upon the books of Senator Caraway's State, along with the remaining line-up of the Solid South. There is nothing new in the Caraway measure; nor is it any wonder that any of the South's legislative ambassadors should deem it to be their public duty to strive for mythical racial purity through a law with teeth in it. Fear is the indirect cause of all legislation; and where a people have demonstrated, as they have in the South, that golden sunshine is the only persuasive force which will keep them in their own back yard; then, of course, racial burglary of the nighttime must be prohibited by law. Speaking seriously, black people are as anxious to preserve themselves as are the whites. The great rank and file of them find no cause for rejoicing over the thousands of cases of racial admixtures which take place, each decade, particularly in Dixieland. When, however, the law shall have taken away the purge of lawful wedlock, it will be hard to tell what will have become of public decency, public policy, and the rights of American citizens to exercise their own prerogatives, especially with regard to the persons with whom they decide to live lawfully. The weaker race has always suffered, regardless of either common or statutory law. The plan of prohibited intermarriage will never solve the nexus of natural selection; neither will it preserve either the white or the darb races in a purity any stronger than honor and integrity. Like the anti-liquor law, 'boot-legging' will continue as merrily as before; only there will be no vent when remorse or conscience grows the evil doers to condone their activities line real, red-blooded American men. Away with the Caraway Bill HOWARD UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION The Howard University appropriation for the coming fiscal year is in the Congressional mill which grinds slowly and with exceeding oratory and perspiration. When the initial item of $218,000 struck the floor of the House last Monday Congressman Butler B. Hare, of South Carolina, who has stepped into the shoes forsaken by Mr. James Byrnes, upheld the traditional custom of his predecessor by having the entire item stricken out on a point of order, which, while warmly debated by Congressman Cramton, of Michigan, and Congressman Hill, of Maryland, was sustained when the South Carolinian said: "I shall not discuss the merits or demerits of the proposition at this time, but insist on the point of order." And with one sweep of the Clerk's pen, went Howard salaries, ice, stationery, laboratory supplies, medical apparatus, buildings, furniture, fixtures, libraries, and even fuel and light for Freedmen's Hospital. If anyone thought the Howard tree of knowledge would be shared, he has another dream coming, for 'Woodman' Hare of South Carolina did not spare even a single branch of Dr. J. Stanley Durlee's pet. It is consoling, though, to review the arguments of the fearless John Philip Hill, Maryland Republican, and Congressman Cramton, of THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Michigan. Mr. Cramton said, with deep feeling: "I ask the gentleman (Mr. Hare) not to insist upon his point of order. Howard University has been supported, in small part, by Federal funds for some 40 or 50 years. It has in that time developed until they now have a regular attendance of over 2,000 colored students—students who would not have an opportunity elsewhere to get the training they get at this University. I personally feel that there is a real Federal obligation in connection with that institution." Mr. Hill said: "Mr. Chairman, the appropriation for Howard University stands on a different basis from other appropriations connected with the Federal encouragement of education. Federal assistance has been rendered to Howard University for 40 or 50 years. I do favor in every possible way the encouragement of education by the Federal Government in its own proper sphere, and I hope the bill will promptly pass since this Congress should do everything possible to encourage so valuable an institution as Howard University. Mr. Hare's point of order won in the 'finals' however, and it remains for the Senate to restore the lost finances for our greatest University. In the meantime, it would do well for prospective striking students, if any there be at Howard this year, and any other puddlers in the meeting pot of dissention on Howard Hill, to consider the thin ice on which Howard is found skating each mid-winter and forthwith resolve to help the helpers by sawing educational and cooperative wood to the end that the institution may sometime gef off the South Carolina rocks and be what it ought to be, both within and without. Any other course is ultra vires, so far as Negro education is concerned. The Golden Flute Byton C.

Don't Neglect That Stubborn Hacking Cough It is not only dangerous but entirely unnecessary to let a persistent, hacking cough rob you of sleep and strength. For through a very simple treatment you can get almost instant relief, and very often break the most stubborn cough completely in 24 hours. This treatment is based on the famous prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You simply take one teaspoonful at bed-time and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, it quickly removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real causes of night coughing. So the coughing quickly ceases and you sleep right through undisturbed. Dr. King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest sore, sore throat, hoarse, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children as well as grown-ups—no harmful drugs. Economically, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good drugists. Ask for DR.KING'S NEW DISCOVERY FOR COUGHS For Aches and Pains in Chest, Back or Side! Try this reliable remedy A sprain or a strain may leave you very sore and sensitive for a long time. But you can relieve those aches and pains very quickly by the use of this widely known and safe treatment—Johnson's Belladonna Plaster. Just put the plaster right over the place where the misery is. You will find that the medicines in these plasters help to quiet the pain while at the same time the plaster is supporting the muscles and giving the effect of a hand rubbing. That is why Johnson's Belladonna Plaster is of such great benefit to those with pains in the chest, back or side. By using this plaster you/get the right kind of medicine and relief for sore muscles. Just ask your druggist for the famous plaster with the Red Cross, made by Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, N. J., U. S. A.

It has no scientific meaning, but no mother is taken in what it implies. The presence is announced by a dryway, feverish condition of the baby, and by a sharp, ringing, yet heape cough, unlike that of most other diseases. The symptoms are intensified as night approaches. As bedtime the little fellow is hard to arouse—agrin the hoarse, loud, breamy cough. The pulse is quick, the breathing rapid. Yes, it's group. Other, and more serious diseases of the little throat, exhibit radically different symptoms; diphtheria has very slight if any cough. Scarlet fever and measles begin with slight, frequent, and rather loose cough, with no outcry during the effort. Pneumonia lays a heavy hand on the lung; the breathing painful, shallow, and the cough suppressed as far as possible, because very painful. Every mother should know these simple points in diagnosis. Croup should be "nipped in the bud" if possible. You can do much if your physician is not available. He may be away on a long call and cannot come for several hours. Give baby a large dose of castor oil, after a brief, warm, sponge bath. Try to induce sweating as soon as you can. Give the juice of a roasted onion—it is sedative to the inflamed air-passages—tan drops every fifteen minutes. Rub the skin over the throat with a mild irritating ointment. If you have a family medicine-closet, maybe you have a small bottle of tincture of aconite. With a dropper put five drops in a four-ounce bottle of water. For a child six months old or older, give a tea-spoonful of the mixture every hour, being careful to cease giving as perspiration begins.

BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER, LISTER, seriously in jared in battle on the western front is brought back to London by LINCT. JOAIN ARNOTT, in an attack on the former's memory, saunted out his memory through his command, killing so men and injuring many more, among them, going to France. Peter had become engaged "MAN MARABY, who refused to believe her lover capable of ting his promise of marriage, until brought to face the unrecognizing man that had once worshipped her. Nan has returned to the small town with her by JOAN ENDICOTT, who also joined the colors. She is telling her friend about the unhappy lover. Joan expresses the wish that she might do something to help NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY 666 NOBODY can help." Nan said to whine and make a fool of myself for ever, don't think that; but just at first—just now I—don't think I can bear it all. To have seen him, and heard his voice, and his laugh. . . ." She caught her breath hard. "But he will get better," Joan urged gently. "Of course he will get better. Mr. Armott himself said that Peter was bound to get well in the end." "He didn't. He only said that the doctors thought there was a hope, and even if there is, anything may have happened, be that the time. He never used to like the flapper. Of girl he was with this evening. He always said they bored him, but he didn't look bored when I walked into the room," she added, broken-heartedly. "Nan—I hate to say it, but—but do you think that perhaps—he hasn't really forgotten? That he's just like so many other men who care for a girl for a time, and then forget them? I—I hate even so suggest it to you, but—but—one does hear of such things. I've heard of ever so many cases since the war started. There was Mary Mellushah. . . ." Nan started to her feet. There was a burning spot of color in her cheeks. "And you dare to compare you with her!" she said fiercely. "You dare to care for Peter with that—that miserable man she thought she cared for. Oh, how dare you! How dare you!" Joan looked horribly distressed. "I didn't mean to be unkind; but—but you told me yourself you hardly knew anything about Mr. Lyster—" "I knew him long enough to find but that he was good and honorable. I knew him long enough to be able to trust him and believe in him. And if he had got—lired—if there had been anybody else—" Her voice broks, but she went on again proudly. "He would have told me straight out. He wouldn't have wanted to take the truth behind a mean trick like this." There was a little silence. Joan looked up timidly. "And what—what are you going to do?" she asked. "Are you going to see him? Oh, Nan, wouldn't have told him who were? To ask him who who were? To be just as if nothing had happened since you saw him last?" I throw myself at the head of a man who doesn't care two straws for me. No, I am afraid that isn't quite my way. But I'm not giving him up—don't think that. I want my happiness as much as you do, and I'm going to fight for it, and then—" but her pluck gave out all at once and she broke down into bitter sobbing. "No she felt very well; but Nan had rushed away, and looked herself in her own room. John, Arnott called in the morning as he had promised. He had been so sure that he would have to meet a broken woman this morning; but she smiled at him, though 12. J. SCOUT Her pluck gave out all at once and Nan broke down into bitter sobbing. there was a look of tragedy in her eyes that hurt him. "It's kind of you to come," she said. She avoided looking at the litte parcel he had laid on the table. She knew well enough what it contained—her letters—the letters she had written to Peter after he went to France; the pages of foolish words and dreams which had been written for Peter's eyes alone. She wondered how much this man had had brought your letters." "I've brought your letters," Arnott nolt simply. Nan thanked him quietly. "And—and Mr. Lyster?" she asked. "Is he—he well this morning?" "Oh, he's A 1," Arnott answered uncomfortably. "He's a lazy begger and was only just getting up when I Her pluck gave out all at o bitter sobbing. came out." Nan laughed. "You know you both going to stay in town?" she asked presently "I mean, for any length of time?" "I dare say we shall for a few days, but—but I want Lyster to come home with me for a bit to my people. He hasn't any friends of his own, you know—none he cares to go to, a teacher. "That is kind of you," she said constrainedly. "He will be pleased to go, I am sure." "My sister's going to write and ask him," Arnott said. "I've told her all about him . . ." He paused, the color deepened a little in his face. "Miss Maraby," he said hesitatingly, "I—I should so like to do something for you, and—and I wonder if—if you think it presumption if—if I make a question?" Nan smiled. "I am sure I shall not—I am very grateful to you for all your kindness to me. What is it?" HIS twisted his cap nervously. 'Well, it's—just this: my sister's one of the best—I'm sure you'd like her, she—she lost her husband the first year of the war you knew—and she's got a ripping little boy—I make my home with her—always did even before the war—and she—she'd be so jolly sympathetic if she knew— ♀ about you, don'tchecknow; so I wondered if—if you'd care to come and stay with her—with us—while . . . while Lyster is there. I'd get her to write and ask you, if you'd care about it," he added in eager embarrassment. "Oh, I couldn't," she said, breathlessly. "It's so good of you to think of it—so very kind—but . . ." She laughed ruefully. "It would be so dreadful—so $w_0$. oh, no, I couldn't!" she added. Arnott looked sorry. "If thought it was such a ripping idea, he said boyishly. 'You—you don't know what a decent sort my sister is.'" "I am sure she is," Nan said. In her heart she added: "She must be if she is anything like you." "But I couldn't," she said again. "It—it would be such an impossible situation. Besides she laughed rather brokenly—'suposing Mr. Lyster took a dislike to me—" It was a heart-breaking thought, but it seemed to Nan as if she had suffered so much already that what ever happened in the future nothing nce and Nan broke down into "And yet—on the other hand." Arnott said gently, "he might get better—the fact of you being there—might make him remember you," but Nan shook her head. "Have you got very long leave?" she asked. Arnott colored. "I don't know—several weeks, I expect. I had a bit of a knock myself, you see," he explained awkwardly. Nan's eyes flashed into sudden interest. "Were you wounded, too? I didn't know—you never told me." He shook his head. "Oh, it wasn't anything," he said. "Only a flesh wound in the shoulder, but it's a bit tiresome, and won't heal . . ." he indicated his left shoulder, and now Nan could see that it looked bulky under his coat as if it were much bandaged. She didn't you tell me!" she asked. She felt ashamed of herself for being so wrapped up in her own concerns. "Why should I tell you?" he said, lightly. "It's nothing anyway—" he looked round. "I think I ought to be going. I promised Lyster to be back in half an hour. He wants to look round the shops." *(To Be Continued)* PEN POINTERS Why not cross the fake stock salesman with the bee, which dies when it stings you?

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago (twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to be here operated on. I did so, and in twenty four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large sea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I wish recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE. Mr. L. J. Hayden. 224 West Broad Street. Richmond, Va. I received your treatment O. K., and I have started to taking it already for a few days, and it has already begun to improve my al- ment so I am sending to you for one bottle of medicine for the blood. I have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said: "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY. More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeemen and Yeowomen. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the a.s.rors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and parrotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
