FLOWERS WINS! WORLD MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. Harry Greb Loses -- Remarkable Career of the Black Georgian-His Fighting Abilities Spectacular and Faultless--His Antagonist Admits that He Lost the Bout in a Square Contest--Asks for a Return Match Flowers Willing----First Colored Man to Hold Title----Jack Dempsey Would Make No Comment VOLUME XLIII. NO. 17 FL WORL Harry Greb Abilitie Los Flowers Will (By Jas. P. Dawson n. N. Y. Timos) NEW YORK, Feb. 27—Tiger Flowers defeated, Harry Greb in Madison Square Garden last night before a crowd of 20,000 persons, carrying off the decision in fifteen rounds, thereby winning the middleweight boxing championship of the world. The decision was rendered by Judges Thomas Flynn and Charles F. Mathison and Referee Gunboat Smith. It was, a just decision and met with the approval of the crowd. The galleryites sent forth a shower of newspapers and torn programs in acclimating the new champion. It also was announced that the re cepts totalled $105,134.70. The men lost little time in getting down to the business at hand in the opening round and Flowers was the first to stir the big crowd. Shooting a right to the face, the Negro followed this up with a shower of rights and lefts to the head and body which sent Greb back to the ropes. Flowers continued his assault as the champion missed with a right swing, but a moment later Greb brought the gathering to its feet by sending Flowers back on his heels with a right, flush to the jaw. A furious exchange followed in which Flowers appeared to have the better of it, though Greb succeeded in opening a cut over the Negro's left eye. FLOWERS CARRIES FIGHT. Flowers continued to carry the fight to the champion in the second round. Greb landed a right to the head, but a moment later Flowers was punching steadily to the body at close quarters as Greb missed with his left hook. Greb however rolled toward the close of the round, smashed two uppercuts to the face and whipped another hard right to the wind, though he received several stiff blows in return. The men dislapped in a head-on collision just before the bell and as they were parted blood was flowing from a cut over Greb's left eye. There was some hasty patchwork done on Greb's eye between rounds, but the third had hardly started when blood again flowed profusely from the champion's injured optic as Flowers drove a number of telling blows right to the mark. This seemed to spur Flowers to greater efforts and cutting loose with a determined attack, he swept the champion before him. Greb fought almost entirely on the defensive as the Negro continued to carry the battle to the champion, landing repeatedly to the body and shooting an occasional sharp blow to the head. NBGRO KEEPS UP ATTACK The Negro's relentless attack on the champion had the crowd 'n an unroar at the close of the fourth round and both men fought on after the bell which was completely drowned out by the noise. Flowers continued the aggressor as the fifth got under way. He pecked away with lefts and rights to the face while the champion strove desperately to land an effective blow himself. He did manage to connect with a hard right to the jaw that shook Flowers but he received plenty in Tiger Flowers return. There was another Green rally just before the round ended, the champion landing several right uppercasts as the men were locked in close quarters. The sixth session saw Greb make a more determined stand than he had in the preceding sessions. He traded blow for blow with the challenger in a series of kelyexchanges. Flowers, however, seldom missed an opportunity for sending stiff lefts to the body, and the opening of the seventh saw the Negro again smack a hard right to the ribs. There was another outburst from the crowd as Greb smashed a hard right flush to the jaw in the middle of the seventh and followed this up with a furious mix-up, but after the first blow Flowers succeeded in escaping all the other smashes which the champion aimed at him. CHALLENGER'S BLOWS TELL Flowers however, did not permit RICHMOND VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1926 the champion to carry the fight for long. He opened the eighth with a number of smashing blows to the body. He followed this up with a sewers of short right uppercasts which sent the champion's head flying back, but the rugged Pittsburgh stuck by his guns, though he missed a number of well-intended smashes for the jaw. There was a flurry just before the round ended, as Greb again took the initiative and rushed white the Negro backed away, but it was only a flash. An instant later they were locked in a fierce exchange in which the challenger clearly punched the champion. Greb once more tried to assume the offensive in the ninth, but he seemed unable to thwart the steady rain of blows which Flowers sent home to the body. The champion then sought desperately to bring the challenger down with rights to the jaw, but Greb's blows were wild and he appeared unable to get a solid smash at the Negro. He did succeed in landing two hard body blows, but he received twice that number in return in addition to a solid hook to the jaw. TENTH ROUND SLOWS UP The action appeared to slow up a trifle for the tenth, although Flowers continued to force the fighting and seldom permitted Greb to become the aggressor. Greb again tried hard to bring home his right, but he invariably was short of his mark, or when he did land it was little more than a glancing blow. The champion attempted to rush Flowers in the eleventh, but the challenger met him with a hard right to the jaw and the next moment Greb was again backing away with the Negro crowding him steadily. The champion made another gallant stand in the twelfth and this time he did succeed in turning back the challenger. He drove Flowers to the ropes with a hard right to the jaw and continued to pound vigorously, though the Negro quickly regained his pose and before the close of the round was giving as justly as he was receiving. This round, however, seemed to spell the finish for the champion. He slowed up perceptibly in the thirteenth and in the fourteenth Flowers showed him with blows and continued his attack right through to the end of the fifteenth and last round. CROWD ARRIVES EARLY The Garden held, its second biggest fight gathering for the occasion. Not since last December when Panti Berlenbach and Jack Dolany opened the arena in their light heavyweight title battle have the followers of the manly art flocked to the Garden in such great numbers. From all walks of life they came and from all sects of the East. There also were many there from Chicago and other Mid-Western points. Senator James M. Watson of Indiana was an interested spectator in a front row seat opposite (Continued on page 4) CALLS A CONVENTION OF THE NEGROES OF THE WORLD TO MEET IN DETROIT THIS MONTH U. N. I. A. Torn by Internal Strife AM IS TO PLACE MRS. GARVEY IN CONTROL, AVERED. (Preston News Service) NEW YORK, MARCH 5—The Universal Negro Improvement Association is torn by dissension and internal strife. From his cell in Atlanta Penitentiary, where he is serving a term for using the mails to defraud, President General Garvey has issued a proclamation charging Acting, President General William Sherrill and other high officials with disloyalty, and calling "an international convention of the Negroes of the world" to be held in Detroit from March 14 to 31. "There is urgent necessity for a change in the present administration of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its auxiliaries, and this convention will, among other things, elect officers so as to insure the successful carrying forward of the work so ably begun and fostered by our great leader," the call states. Attached to it is the name of Garvey with the names of Fred A. Toole, President of the "Philadelphia Division; William Ware, President of the Cincinnati Division; Samuel A. Haynes, President of the Pittsburgh Division, and Joseph A. Craigen, Secretary of the Detroit Division. A majority of members of the New York Division do not favor holding a convention and are said to be in sympathy with Sherrill and other officers who have become persona non grata with the incarcered leader. They say it is unconstitutional and whatever is done will not be binding on the national officers. Followers of Sherrill assert the convention has been called in Detroit for the express purpose of putting Mrs. Garvey in control of the organization. The feeling between the two factions is bitter in Hackem's meetings in Liberty Hall the presence of police has been necessary to maintain order.

The regular meeting of the Second Baptist Church took place last Monday night with the able pastor, Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewih in the chair. Routine business was transacted. No report of the dealings of the Deacon Board with the pastor was made. It seems that after the reverend doctor had preached last Sunday one of the ablest sermons heard in the pulpit, he proceeded to maye some remarks about the deacons, which are alleged to have conveyed the impression that the Deacon Board was endeavoring to get rid of him. A CALL FOR MINUTES The members of the board denied this and a call was made for the proceedings of the Deacon Board and all matters bearing upon this subject. The Moderator declined to call for it unless a motion was made and carried to that effect. Sister Gertrude Washington made the motion and it passed by an overwhelming vote. The records were read showing that the Deacon Board had passed a resolution for the retirement of the Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis on a salary of $75.00 per month, he occupying the position of pastor emerita, but with no church responsibility whatever. REV DR. LEWIS' LETTER It was stated that this action was taken on account of the paralytic condition of the pastor and for the purpose of relieving him of a'l worry in connection with the church and to really prolong his life, as there was a liability of a second stroke, should he continue to have the present responsibilities upon him. A letter was read, addressed to the Deacon Board, in which Rev. Dr. Lew's had accepted this view of the situation, provided the church would pay him $100.00 per month. The Deacon Board had voiced to accept the pastor's proposition. DEACON WASHINGTON SPEAKS. When the pastor had shown some irritation over the matter the same was voiced to be dropped. Deacon A. Washington explained that there was no ill feeling against the pastor and the only desire of the brethren was to assist and help him. This view was concurred in b. Deacon Washington's associates.

SATURDAY.....MARCH 6, 1926 A REMARKABLE TRIBUTE WITH ALL OF THE agitation going on against the Negro, the following publication in the Richmond Times Dispatch of the 3rd inst. is especially gratifying and tells its own story: "The program at the Woman's Club was interrupted yesterday afternoon to recognize the work of a faithful Negro servant of the club's Charles," who has been butler at the institution for the last twenty-five years. "The day selected to thank Charles officially, for his years of loyal and efficient service was his seventy-fifth birthday. In an intermission of the musical program Mrs. P. St. George Cooke the present president, appeared on the platform and called Charles to the front of the auditorium, where Mrs. L, L. Lewis, the first president of the club, presented him with a purse containing $75, a dollar for each year of his life. "Mrs. Lewis commented on his faithfulness, and Mrs. Cooke spoke of the occasion as the loveliest ceremony of the year." As Charles left the front of the auditorium he was given a rising vow of thanks by the members of the club." This individual is no less a personage than Charles Cowan, who resides at Fourth and Baker Streets. This is evidence that the anti-Negro element in this State will be required to face a solid phalanx of White Virginians, both male and female in their assaults upon one of the most faithful and loyal races of people on the face of the globe. Faithful, unassuming, serviceable colored folks of the Charles Cowan type are doing more to bring light out of darkness, order out of confusion in dealing with this race question than any other agency can do. God bless the ladies of the Woman's Club. The honor and recognition tendered to this humble colored man is appreciated by the thousands of our people, who know and appreciate the value of such recognition and who are following faithfully in the footsteps of this class of colored, folks, who will eventually bring about the full emancipation of the colored folks in all of this land. DO NOT PLAY FAIR. WE HAVE received "Do Fundamentalists Play Fair?" It is a cloth bound volume of 125 pages by William Mentzel Forrest, Professor of Biblical History and Literature. University of Virginia and is a plea for liberality in the matter of the evolution theory. It is a merciless attack upon the Bible and deals with the inaccuracies of the divine text. The uncompromising attitude of those believers, who are positive in their declaration of the infallibility of the "Word of God" comes 'n for radical criticism by this profound schar. He believes in God, but further than that "deponent saye'h not." It is peculiar, strange that he should ask the question specified in the subject matter of his boo. It answers itself. Fundamentalists have never played, fair in deeing with either a theists or those believers who are really unbelievers and who deceive the failibility of the Scriptures. Religious leaders in all ages have been more or less bigots, slaves to their passions and to their prejudices. It is a characteristic, too, of mankind and the evolutionists, who are compaining, do not play fair either. They deal in theories and surmises. They handle millions of years in their calculations just as a histor ian of today would handle a decade and they ask the child student to believe their approximates and their guesses. We have always been of the opinion that "truth fears nothing but concealment." This is why we are not in favor of limiting by law, the activities of certain professors, who believe in the Darwinian theory of the origin of man. This instruction should be limited though, to colleges and not permitted in primary institutions. After a person has passed the age of puberty and has emerged into manhood, it is his right to be informed of the theories and dogmas existent in this country. Should he not desire to be informed, then this kind of instruction or information should not be forced upon him. Still, there are leading educators, who heists themselves, who are endeavoring by unfair practices to undermine the religious structure built up in religious homes and in doing this, they have caused this reaction which may result in pulling down in this section the structure of advanced evolution itself. The price of the book is $1.00. It is published by the Macmillan Company, New York, N. Y. and will richly repay a perusal. Send for a copy. THE RICHMOND, Va. Times-Dispatch overlooks the editorial utterances of the Chicago Defender, and appeals to the cartoon writer for the same journal to arouse race prejudice in Virginia. What in the name of God have the colored folks of Illinois to do with us and what in the name of the same Deity have we to do with them? Do some of these white folks play fair?

FLOWERS WILL TOUR EUROPE AS CHAMP "FIGHTING DEACON' QUOTES SCRIPTURE AS HE RAINS BLOWS ON OPPONENTS NEW YORK, February 27—Tiger Flowers cotebed boxer, of Brunswick, Georgia, was ascended to the in dillewe after a pug litle throne 'last night after a career of many vici-stitudes which found him a' various times a porter, a church steward, a laborer, a saxophone player and professional fighter today made plans for what he describes as his first vacation in eight years. He will I SEE MY FINISH! WINTER Europee for two months, giving exhibitions with George Cook, a heavy weight, in London, Berlin, Edenburg and Paris. Flooded with messages of congratulations, with offers to defend his title and with moving-picture opportunities, the conqueror of Harry Greb said he would return next week to his home town, Brunswick, Ga. in response to requests from Brunswick Elks that he be their guests at a reception. He will leave here Tuesday. He then will return to New York to take the leading role as actor in a film story of his life, "The Fighting Deacon", before sailing for Europe in March. Walk Miller, the new champion's manager today reiterated his statement that Flowers would defend his title three months hence under Tex Rickard's promotion against "the leading middleweight challenger". "We have already told Harry Greit, we will give him a chance to win back his crown," said Miller. "and if it is decided he is the leading challenger, we will be glad to box him again. There will be other men considered, however. Dave Shade, California, and Micky Walker, the welterweight champion, will be counted in the running." The bout will be staged in May, probably in an outdoor gym." No telegram of congratulation received by the first American Negro to win a world ring crown since the days of Jack Johnson, pleased Flowers more than a message from J. L. Andrews, Mayor of Brunswick Ga. "We congratulate you on your victory and wish you continued success," the message read. Flowers, who rose to the middle-weight pinnacle after an unusual series of experiences, today credited the success to observance of careful training rules and strong reliance on religion. He says he makes a practice of reading three verses in the New Testament daily, and that he not only prays before each ring context, but calls upon Scriptural lines to strengthen his courage while under fire in the ring. "Every round of the light last night I repeated to myself a part of the 144th Psalm, 'Blessed be the Lord, my strength, which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight,'" said Flowers. Theodore Flowers was born on August 15, 1895, in Camilla, Ga. He was introduced to pugilism in 1917 in the gymnasium of Jack O'Brown, at Philadelphia, but it was not until Walk Müller, owner of an Atlanta, Ga. gymnasium, became interested in him in 1921, that Flowers began fighting in carnest. Greb, whose unexpected defeat was attributed in some measure to careless training, today said he had no complain to make and that he would endeavor to get back in winning form for a return bout with Flowers.

SCOTT, Funeral Director 2223 EAST MAIN STREET RICHMOND, VA GRACIOUS, TOBEY= WHAT AILS YOU?! AW SHUCKS=IT'S THAT RHEUMATISM I GOT IN SCHOOL= EDUCATION'S DEBIT SIDE. THE United States Government, through its Department of Interior, which cares for and nurtures Howard University, "an institution of higher education of the colored youth of the Nation in liberal arts and sciences, medicine, law, and religion," has recently seen fit to remind the American public that Howard University is, indeed, "The capstone of Negro Education," as was once stated by Dr. James H. Dillard, a courageous white educator, who has given the best years of his worthy life to the cause of Negro educat on. This gentle reminder however, like everything else worth while, has to run the gauntlet of such contrawise proclamations as that sounded in the minority report of two democratic Congressmen, M. E. Tydings, of Maryland, and B. G. Lowery, of Mississippi, who vigorously oppose Congressional appropriations for, and the incorporation of Howard University, in order that it may more nearly approach the "capstone" stage described by the Government and Dr. Dillard. These opponents as a preliminary opposition to the education of Negro youth at Howard, say that the appropriations which Congress has generously and public-spiritedly given to Howard for more than forty years are illegal. Next, they avert that financial support should come in the way of self-help from the organized Race and its friends. Next they infer discrimination on the part of Congress, prejudicial to such wealthy schools as George Washington University, and other colleges of overflow wealth, from which Negroes are excluded. Lastly, they infer that Howard University is a political machine which misuses educational funds for political purposes, forgetting that even if Howard were a political absorbent it could neither sap up, nor yield any marked political influence either in Mississippi or Maryland, where States rights and balot boxes abound—but only for some, not all of the people. There's some solace, though, even in this debit entry which Howard's opponents are trying to make. That solace comes from the fact that even in these very States, Maryland and Mississippi, where educational needs are great, and where the grossest kind of discrimination exists against not only "capstone" but even free school education for Negroes, Howard graduates have gone and are, little by little teaching the Negro people, healing them, preaching to them, and inspiring them to raise their heads above the gloom that the Race's opponents have cast over them, and their ancestors. This alien testimony, unrecorded in the Hall of Congress, speaks more eloquently than all the minority reports that can be submitted, by the opponents of Negro education in the next hundred decades.

The Shufflers and Business Men's Social Clubs are promoting this great aca-r for the Rich- mond lovers of jazz and syncopation STIRRING CHURCH (Continued from Page 1.) T. Taylor moved that the pastor apologize to the Deacon Board on next Sunday morning. This was carried and Rev. Dr. Lewis agreed to do this. TO STATE WHAT HE WANTS A motion was carried that Rev. Z. D. Lewis D. D. report at the next meeting of the church, just what he wanted the church to do. The meeting adjourned with an outward indication that the breach had been healed for the time being. As the matter now stands, there is nothing before the church as the Deacon Board has not made any formal report to the church in this matter. It was further stated during the meeting that the proposition for an assistant pastor under Dr. Lewis was not favored for the reason that no such official could get on with the present pastor of the Second Baptist Church. This was why the proposition to sever his actual active pastoral relationship with the church was proposed.

The Board of Health of fidial tried to induce Funeral Direc- tor Scott to turn the body over and to take up the matter of expense afterwards). He declined to do this. A permit was then issued to A. D Price, Jr. to bury the body. SHERIFF GETS BODY. Not being able to secure possession of the body, Charles C. Bowser secured the services of Attorney David J. Maya. He applied, last Wednesday to Judge J. C. Taylor of the Law and Equity Court for a writ of mandamus, which was granted upon the furnishing of a bond of $50.00. The Sheriff proceeded once to Funeral Director Scott's morgue, where the body was turned over to Funeral Director A D. Price Jr. Mr. Scott had agreed to turn the body over for $35.00. REFUSED TO PAY Bowser refused to pay any amount claiming that the body was removed from St. Phillips Hospital without the proper authority. Funeral Director Scott states that the hospital authorities were directed by the Coroner to turn the body over to some undertaker and that they thereupon turned it over to him. He also states that it was in a bad condition and that his charges there for were on that account, reasonable. The charge for embalming here is $20.00. DO YOU KNOW THEM? Major R. B.

New Method Quickly Banishes Heavy Coughs Why be annoyed and weakened by persistent, strength-sapping coughing spells when you can, through a very simple treatment, quickly stop all irritation and very often banish the trouble entirely in 24 hours? This treatment is based on the famous prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You take just 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, but it quickly removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of night coughing. Thus, with the throat soothed and cleared, coughing stops quickly and you sleep all night undisturbed. Dr. King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest-colds, sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic roci, etc. Fine for children as well as grown-ups—no harmful drugs. Economical, too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good drummers. Ask for DR.KING'S NEW DISCOVERY FOR COUGHS Have The PLANET Delivered to You. Only $2 per Year.

BETTER AGE COMING. BIGGER THE BETTER. SOME OTHER THINGS. Professor Compton, of the University of Chicago, says that man is just beginning his career on earth, and our children 50,000 years from now will be as far ahead of us as we are far ahead of our ancestors of 50,000 years ago. "These times are the ancient times, when the world is ancient," as Bacon said. At the same time they represent the babyhood of man. If we could see our dependents of 50,000 years hence we probably should scarcely recognize them as our own. And as for our descendants of a million and a hundred million years from now—science says the earth will last as long as that—they will probably be as unlike us as we are unlike so many philoceros. Anthony Blimba, editor of a communist newspaper, to be tried for blasphemy under a law 229 years old, is accused of denying the existence of God. His lawyer will say that the Constitution, which guarantees free speech, rules out the blasphemy charge.

But it is possible that omnipotence is not much interested in what Mr. Blimba believes. The way to make foolishness, blasphemous or other, important, is to take it seriously. The Government, fighting the National Food Products Corporation, explains that the plan is "to fight a tendency toward trusts, rather than to attack trusts already existing." The battle against big business, which is the real name of the "trust," was fought and lost long ago. Modern business, to succeed, must be big business. The Government's business is to supervise big business, control it, and encourage it, not discourage it. No business in the United States is as big as it ought to be. Congress devotes $34,000,000 to aircraft. Not enough, but better than nothing. And the total appropriation for the navy—$816,000,000! The idioce of that last figure is made clear by the fact that if war of the modern kind should come the airships would have to protect our hundreds of millions' worth of ship floating on the water. Only submarines and flying machines would be of any value. In any real business, managed by competent business men, such tash as our battleships would have been junked long ago. Even the proxic oil business is romantic. You know of the oil well that the Rockefellers have "brought in" within the Arctic Circle. It would cost fifty millions to run in a pipe line. But at least the Rockefellers know that there is an Arctic reserve. At Ventura, on the Pacific Coast, the Shell Oil Company's docks were washed away. Its tankers could load no oil. Associated Oil said: "Bring your tank ships here, we'll lord them." Associated runs a pipe line half a mile out on the bottom of the sea, has a flexible pipe anchored at the surface and fills tanks, storm or no storm. Nearby are wells driven down through the water, pumping up oil from below the Pacific. Submarines some day will find much wealth for enterprising prospectors. Professor Ross, sound thinker, of the University of Wisconsin, has cheer for this troubled world. It is getting better, he says. A hundred years hece the average man will enjoy benefits of civilization "now enjoyed only by the most advanced people." Religions are less violent in their hates than they used to be. The average length of life is increasing. Child welfare is considered more important than any particular detail in baptism or any squabble about the nature of the Trinity. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. OUNCE OF PREVENTION Physicians and drugs are indeed of inestimable value in worthy effort to combat disease already on hand; but the student of preventive medicine, it seems to me, is capable of doing even greater good. If you happen to know that typhoid germs get into the system with drinking-water from a contaminated well, you at once take steps to exalicate the danger before harm is done. The mosquito that breeds in your rain-barrel is a carrier of disease. Remove the cause of trouble. A swamp near your home is a constant menace and should not be tolerated—drain it. If you are a user of milk, be sure that your source of supply is pure and healthy. Remember that tuberculosis germs may be swallowed as well as inhaled. If you contemplate moving into a purchased home, see that its walls and floors have been treated with an unfailing antiseptic; it will cost time, effort and money, but the outlay is less than for invalids and funerals. Many tenement-dwellers use bedding purchased at second-hand stores. There should be a law compelling thorough fumigation before such goods are used. Pillows in hotels and sleeping-care should be thoroughly disinfected each morning after use; merely changing of lines is a misleading measure to hide the "damp spot" left by the traveller with a mild case of influenza. It is the business of physicians and public health officers to see that everything possible is done to ward off disease. To own a good book on preventive medicine should be one of the first duties of intelligent citizenship—this cannot help but minimize the need of the physician and—possibly the undertakier!

The One who Forgot BY. RUBY M. AYRES BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER loses his memory from shock on the Western front, the killed score of men and injured Peter. He has forgotten his engagement to NAN MARRABY, who is broken-hearted and unable to recognize her. She is now at home due to the sudden death of her stepmother. Nian had been living in London. OAN ENDICOTT, whose husband has just returned home on leave, Joan has written that Peter is coming with him. JOHN ARNOTT, also wounded, to rest at the home of the latter's sister in a village near the Marrabbie estate. The same day Arnott met Joan, who recently met he knows anything about him. HARLEY SEFTON, who was introduced to her by Peter before he was sent to the army, recently made her uneasy with ideality by service men—and who has been a mysterious visitor at her father's home. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ARNOTT gave a sort of snort. My sister was only talking about him last night," he said, reluctantly. "He's only recently taken the Red House, but he spends most of his time in town." He paused and looked away from Nan down the green lane. "He's a money-lender, and a rotten one at that," he added, energetically. Nan repeated her last words sharply. "Did you know he was a friend of Peter's?" she asked. "No—at least, I don't remember hearing Peter speak of him, but he wasn't the sort of chap who talked about his own affairs much. Anyway," he smiled, "why shouldn't he be a friend of Peter's, and a money-lender as well?" Nan stopped. She supposed Arnett would think her silly if she explained that she had always considered a moneylender a person whose acquaintance respectable people did not desire. She remembered that Secton was also a friend of her father's, and that seemed to improve matters. Her face cleared a little. "I mustn't stand talking to you any longer," she said. "Goodby—I'm so glad to have seen you." When Nan reached the house the boys came rushing to meet her. Where had she been? they demanded. Wazn't tea ready? Nan roused herself with an effort. "We went into the woods," Jim said. "Woods," echoed Buster. "And there was a gentleman there in uniform, who spoke to us," he informed Nan eagerly. "And he told us he been out in France-and was here on leave." Nan laughed. "Quite a modern hero," she said. "But you ought not to speak to strange gentlemen in the wood, even if they are in uniform," she added. "Buster was crying." Jim explained. "That's why he spoke to us. Buster's such an awful baby," he added contemptuously. "No, I'm not." Buster's little face grew fiery. Nan hastily intervened. "Now, boys--you're not to quarrel," she protested. "Go on and tell me some more about this man." He's nice. "Clearly volunteered." "No," echoed Buster. "And he said he knew you." Jim told her. "He asked what our names were, and when we told him he said he knew you." Nan nearly dropped the teapot. "Peter," she breathed. The boys stared at her. "He was an officer." Jim rebuked her milly. "And he had a gold stripe on his arm—that moves that he was wounded." he explained, kindly. "And he's going to meet us again tomorrow. You can come too, if you like." he added. "Thank vote," said Nan, with a little catechism, her voice. "But I am afraid he won't want me." she laughed and cover her seriousness. "We're hard," Jim promised. "I'm not injured Claudle. I couldn't do nothing of the declared sharply." "And A. S. S. Edward Boyd of near Mechanicsburg, Ohio, recently shot the onis "white crow" ever killed in that situation as far as is known. It has been studied and sold to the Ohio State University museum. anyway, I haven't got time to go in the woods." But she was glad that the boys had met Peter—glad that the boys had evidently liked Peter. She would love to have seen him with them, she thought, wistfully. It seemed such an odd situation; apparently everyone might be with Peter and talk to him except herself; loneliness seemed to enfold her like a garment. After John Arnott left Nan in the lane he came across Lyster a little further down the road. "Well—have you seen here?" he asked whimsically. Arnott blushed. "Silly owl," he retorted with dignity. He eyed the flowers in Lyster's cap scornfully. "I've known men court-martialled for a smaller crime than that," he said. 5 SEEM "Not remember me! Come, come, that's a good joke." "Who gave them to you?" he demanded. Lyster laughed. "The smallest of M'ss Marrabys three small brothers," he said. "At least they told me that they were her brothers." "Really." Arnectt was slightly envious; he would like to have made friends with Nan's brothers himself. "Where did you see them?" he asked. The thought crossed his mind that in spite of everything perhaps Peter had stolen a march on him and called at the house. "They were in the wood," Lyster explained. He took off his cap and let the cool breeze fan his forehead. "One of them was howling—the tiniest one," he laughed. "Rum little cusses, they are." he said. They were frightfully excited when they heard I'd been in France—wanted to know how many of the enemy I'd accounted for. I told them it was the other way on, and the enemy had almost accounted for me. They gave me a standing invitation to go to tea whenever I liked, and asked what was my favorite jam. He looked at Arnott. "Is Miss Marrabry engaged?" he asked. Arnott blushed furiously. "Yes—no, at least, I believe she was, and it's been broken off," he stammered. "She isn't engaged now, any-way," he added. Lyster looked faintly surprised. "Well, there's no need to look so angry," he said mildly. He took a little bunch of sweet --- PEN POINTERS The laudress, like the farmer, makes her living by the soil. Women nowadays will do most anything to attract attention, even to dressing modestly and sensibly. In a pinch most anyone will sleep in a police station. While automobiles are increasing by leaps and bounds pedestrians are decreasing in spite of loaps and bounds. Women and brakes resemble each other inasmuch as both screech when the machine is brought to a sudden stop. A child labor law to keep them from working their parents so hard is what is needed now. --- --- scented flowers from his cap and sniffed them appreciatively. "It's good to be in the country again," he said, with a half-feign. "Docs Miss Marraby always live here?" "No; but her stepmother has just died and she's looking after the boys. They're only her stepbrothers, you know." "I thought there wasn't much likeness," Peter said, absently. "They're jolly little chaps, anyway." They had turned into the main road that led to the village, and a man on horseback coming slowly up the road had pulled up sharply as he saw Peter and called out to him: "Lyster—by all that's wonderful! My dear fellow!" He leaned down from the saddle and held his hand to Peter, but after the first blank look of unrecognition Peter had drawn back a step. "I'm sorry —I'm afraid . . . . . . He colored sensitively and glanced appealingly at Arnott. "I'm at aid I don't remember you," he said, with a sort of nervousness. Harley Sefton stared. "Not remember me—what the dickens! I'm Harley Sefton, man! Not remember me! Why I was with you in town the night before you left England!" He laughed, and slapped Peter on his broad shoulder. "Not remember me! Come, come, that's a good joke!" Peter laughed. "I sorry, but I am for the moment." He shook hands with the widest man reluctantly. There was an awkward pause, then. "Are you—er—living down here?" Peter asked. Arnott felt,horribly sorry for him. He knew perfectly well that Peter had no more idea than the dead to whom he was talking. "I've taken a house for the summer!" Sefton answered. "You must come and see me. It's an odd coincidence meeting you. I traveled down from town last week with a friend of yours—Miss Marghry." "Miss Marrabry is a friend of Arnott's." Lyster said quickly. "My I introduce you? Arnott—this is Mr. Harley Sefton." Arnott nodded. There was a few minutes' desultory conversation; then Sefton gathered up the reins and said he must be going. As soon as he was out of ear-shot Peter broke out with a sort of rage: "I don't know who he is. It's it's damnable! This is the sort of thing I in constant dread of. It makes me look such a confounded fool. Some day I suppose some woman will turn up and declare her my wife—and I shan't be in a position to contradict her if she does." "Rubbish!" Arnott said briskly. "You're a lot better already—and, anyway, there's nothing to be ashamed of. I've heard my sister speak of Harley Sefton—he's taken a big house over at Little Gadenen." "Well, what is he. I should like to know?" Lyster asked irritably. "He seems to consider that I'm a great friend of his, anyway." "He's a moneylender, I believe," Arnott said. "A moneylender in rather a big way—got a palatial office in town." Lyster stopped and looked back down the road. The man on horseback had drawn rein again and had turned in the saddle and was looking back. "I'm going back to speak to him." Peter said suddenly he strode back down the road. "Look here," he said, abruptly, when he reached Sefton. "I'm sorry if I ought to have known you and didn't, but—but if you must know the truth, I—I had a nasty knock-out blow in France, and . . . well, my memory isn't what it ought to be. I didn't mean to be intentionally rude. It's a sore subject with me—perhaps I'm aburduy sensitive about it, but . . . but that's the truth. I hope I believe me." The dear teacher of course, I'm only too sorry. Come along and see me some day—I live at the Red House at Little Gadsen." Peter thanked him rather off-handedly; he was wondering painfully if he had ever really been a great friend of this man's; he was not particularly possessed in his favor now at any rate.

The following bring words of Major General Belt, 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.
