THE RICHMOND PLANET PERCY GREEN DISCHARGED Killing of Ben Faulkner an Accident--No Evidence to Support Charge of Murder. VOLUME XLIV, NO. 42 PERCY D Killing of E dent--No Cha Whether the vague rumors in the neighborhood had any foundation in fact was answered in the negative last Tuesday morning in the Police Court before Judge John L. Ingram, when after the disposition of the regular docket, the case against Percy Green, charged with the murder of Ben. Faulkner, Sunday Aug. 7th, at 1228 W. Moore Ct was dismissed. Atty. H. M. Smith, the famous lawyer, who was to have prosecuted Percy Green appeared in his behalf. The police officers told of having received a phone call telling that some one had been killed. Green said that he had the gun in his coat in another room. His sister, Nannie Watkins, had locked the door and taken the key out to keep him from going into the street with the gun. He finally got his coat and she tried to take it away from him. It went off just as Faulkner got in the doorway and killed him. Cornelius Goode said that Faulkner and Green were close friends. They went to Green's house. He was in the bed. The graphophone was being played. Percy's sister told them not to play the graphophone on Sunday as they might get arrested for disorder. Percy got his coat. His sister tried to take the pistol from him and it went off. Percy and Ben were friends, the latter having bought tickets for the two to go to Buckroe the following Monday. R. Thomas said they were playing on the Victoria when Percy's sister said: "Don't make so much noise." She took the crank out of the Victoria. Percy went to get his coat and she grabbed him. He said if she didn't turn him loose, he would shoot in the house. The pistol went off. It shot Ben standing in the doorway. Percy and Ben were good friends. This ended the case and Judge Ingram immediately dismissed the case. Percy Green has been in jail since the killing. The case of Moe Golden, white clothing solicitor, charged with unlawfully receiving the amount of five dollars by false pretence and misrepresentation with intent to cheat under defraud Montague Haven, colored, took a sensational turn as the hearing progressed. It was shown by the testimony and admitted by the accused that Montague undertook to purchase a suit of clothes from Golden, whose place is located at 210 East Broad Street. He paid down $5.00 on the suit, saying that he worked for the Virginia Electric and Power Co. Golden required him to bring some one to testify that he worked for the company and to identify him. Montague went out and brought another man, who assured Golden that the colored man was working for the railway company. Golden said that he did not know the witness. Thereupon Montague asked for the return of his money. Golden declined to give him either the clothes or the money. Thereupon Montague went out and swore out the warrant. Montague said he had worked for the Virginia Electric and Power Company for many years and that he had his badge at home. Golden still insisted upon his proving that he worked for the company and declined to surrender the clothes or money until he was satisfied on this point. Judge John L. Ingram had questioned all parties closely. Then he settled back and found Moe Golden guilty of larceny and sentenced him to ninety days in jail. Golden said he would take the case to another court. Judge Ingram said he was at liberty so to do. He had passed upon 150 similar cases and he was at liberty to test it out in a higher court. "I can't get no protection here," Golden said and he loudly protested. "You don't need any," replied the Judge. "It is these ignorant people that you are defrauding, who need protection." Golden said that he was not given any time. Judge Ingram insisted that he must either give the man the clothes or return him his money. He finally ruled that the sentence would stand unless he brought to him the next morning a receipt showing that he had done one thing or the other. The last case passed upon by Judge Ingram was one in which a white man and a colored man had been similarly treated. The accused white man in that case was glad to pay the cost of court in both cases and to return to both complainants their money. Hon. George L. Knox Dies Here George L. Knox of Indianapolis, Ind., died in the St. Philips Hospital in this city, Thursday morning 12:45 o'clock. He was stricken with paralysis at his boarding place, 108 East Leigh St., at 10:30 Wednesday, August 24th and was carried to the hospital where he expired. [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. Dr. C. S. Brown, who preaches at 5th Street Baptist Church next Thursday night. Dr. Brown is Pres. Lot Carey Con. Rev. Dr. Long, Pastor-elect Preaches to Large Crowd at Second Bapt. Church A large crowd was at the Second Baptist Church to listen to Rev. C. M. Long, the recently called divine, who is expected to accept the pastorate. He delivered an impressively sermon, Hebrews 12:1-2. He stated that the Apostle Paul portrayed this life as a war-fare. He tells of the paraphernalia to be worn by a Christian soldier. He advises us to put on the whole armor of God. He then proceeded to name and define the errors in this life. He declared that the first was a prayerless home, a prayerless church. The latter means a dead church. He spoke of the young Negroes, who criticize churches, telling about this and the other with reference to them. He bluntly declared the young Negroes had never built any churches. These edifices of God have been erected by the mothers and fathers, many of the former wearing handkerchiefs on their heads. If the young Negroes want the kind of churches of which they speak, let them build them. Believe white people; emulate the good and leave alone the bad. Another bad trait is in our economic and social folly. We start up and build down. There is too much time spent by us in athletics. One recently held at Hampton cost $50,000. Another mistake made is our spiritual formality and pretense. He compared some of the members in the church like the disappearing gun that he saw at Fort Monroe. We fire on Sunday and then disappear the rest of the week. If we are right and God be with us, no one can harm us. His last citation related to secret sins and a violent temper, strong drink and double living. He made a profound impression upon those present. Rev. Long's chauffeur, Albert Tillery, who is also the organist of his church, was intro- (Continued on page 4.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1927 THE NATIONAL IDEAL SOCIETY TO MEET IN WASHINGTON, D. C. The 15th annual convention of the Supreme Lodge of the National Ideal Society will meet in the District of Columbia, September 6th, 7th and 8th, at John Wesley A. M. E. Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran Streets, N. W. Much interest is being shown concerning the convention. The session will be of vast importance and much business will claim the attention of the large delegation. Mr. Holmes returned from Washington a few days ago, much pleased with the arrangements that are being made by the Washington Ideals. Special coaches have been provided by the R. F., P. Railroad for the delegates of Richmond, Petersburg and vicinity to leave Broad Street Station, Monday, September 5th, 12:01 o'clock. It is said that this convention is to be the banner one of the fifteen years of the life of the order. It is regarded as a very substantial fraternal society. Mr. W. P. Burrell, of Newark, N. J., was in the city attending the session of the R. W. G. Council, I. O. of St. Luke. He reported his madness and the children as being in the best of health. He left for Prince George County to visit his sister. You can enter the Automobile Contest now. It will be useless to enter after September 5, 1927. You have a chance before that time. The prize is tempting. Your reward is sure. CARD OF THANKS The family of the late Dr. Frank Edwards Nelson, thru this medium, desires to thank all friends for their kindness, sympathy, etc. extended to them in their bereavement which began July 23rd. 1927. Clock Ticks Toward Goal, Finish of Tell-tale Period-Candidates Quicken Stride. Civic pride and determination of vast communities to earn the tremendous publicity that will result if the candidate representing their town wins the grand prize honor in the great campaign assures practically all the outside contestants of strong support during the closing days of the race. This fact undoubtedly accounts for the resistless drive that has been noticed on the part of hustling contestants. Particularly in outside towns, in the city similar manifestations are becoming noticeable. In various neighborhoods, lodges, churches, social groups, get behind their favorite candidate to give him the necessary backing to win. Quite aside from these factors in the race is the personal pride and resolution not to be beaten that is so marked in the race of the most vigorous contestant. I have raced with the best of them and don't intend to lose a prize car by a few new subscriptions. now. This is what one of the outside contestants wrote to the campaign manager. "M-friends would be so disappointed if I lost that I feel as if it is directly up to me to come in a winner," said another. It is the salesman who sticks that wins. Not long ago the writer met a salesman who had just made a sale, after having called on the prospective customer regularly for twenty years. Such success was due to tactful tactics as well as being a good salesman. He tried his level best to sell his prospect and finally he succeeded. The moral to such persisting salesman: "He did not know what defeat meant." Remember Napoleon's orders to the drummer boy, "Beat a retreat," said Napoleon, when he felt that he was losing one of his battles, when retreat was necessary to save one of his armies, "Sir," replied the drummer boy, "I have never learned to beat retreat, but I can beat a march that will make the dead arise and fight." His general told him then to beat a march, which he did, and in which he threw his very soul. The tired and weary soldiers revived their energy. The inspiring drummer's heart beat victory for Napoleon's army for a man or woman is a failure when he or she stops trying. Strike the word failure from your record, and press forward toward another week with renewed determination and energy, not to quit but to win. Remember every subscription that you get from your friends that you have been unable to reach counts votes and votes win prizes. It is to your interest to take advantage of the 90,000 free bonus period which closes September 5, 1927. OLD MRS. DISCOURAGE.

New York, Aug. 24.—Under lowering skies and through intermittent showers 30,000 drenched but smiling and gaily clad Nagro Elks marched, christened and cakewalked their way up Fifth Avenue from Sixty-fifth Street to Harlem yesterday afternoon in the four-hour parade of the Grand Lodge of the improved Penovent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. Assembling at 1 o'clock under the command of Grand Marshal Joseph Brown, members of 800 lodges from every State and many foreign countries fell into line with their twenty-five bands and passed perhaps 100,000 cheering onlookers, who lined the streets and crowded the windows of Harlem buildings, gay with bunting and banners of every description. Leaving Fifth Avenue at 110th Street, the marchers went west to Lenox Avenue, up to 125th Street, and again west to Seventh Avenue, finally disbanding at 149th Street and Lenox Oval. For an hour the procession passed in review before Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson and his staff in the grandstand at Seventh Avenue and 145th Street. Feminine members, known as "Does," were almost as numerous as marchers of the other sex, while the leader of the women's band set the toes of marchers and bystanders tickling with the notes of "Charleston," "Ain't Sle Cute" and "Me and My Shadow." A delegation of thirty Negro policemen from the West 155th Street Station among the marchers received loud cheers and applause. White uniforms with purple trouser-stripes and collars were the fashion for the men, though tuxedo coats and white flannels were also seen, with a heavy sprinkling of gold braid and brass buttons. One dignified group with top-hats and cut-outs followed a score of mounted policemen who were in the van. The women ran strongly to white and gold, with an occasional group in brown, cerise, purple and other colors. Rules against singing, talking, chewing gum and dancing while in marching-order were issued by the committee in charge of the parade, but the spirit of good-will which prevailed found many dancing to the music of the bands and shouting to friends at the sides. A motion picture was made as a background for a film, while 300 policemen under Inspector Thomas D. Ryan found that they had little to do. Tonight there will be a band concert in Manhattan Casino at 155th Street and Eighth Avenue, and tomorrow will see the election of the Grand Exalted Ruler. DR. MILES JONES A FRIEND TO THE POOR Wednesday, August 18, 1927, long to be remembered at Hollybrook. The inmates and manager of the Afro-American Old Folks Home, 1115 West Moore Street, Richmond, Va. were awned an outing. Refreshments of every description were served on the grounds. Hollybrook is one of the best located farms in Virginia on the Washington highway. The inmates and the president of the Afro-American Old Folks Home desire to thank Dr. Miles Jones and his co-workers for the grand outing given them. J. C. RANDOLPH, Pres. Card of Thanks On Monday evening, August 22nd, despite the inclemency of the weather, a goodly number of the faithful and loving members of Sharon Baptist Church, led by Mrs. Ella Brown, completely surprised us by coming through mud and rain to our suburban home, 1301 Du Bois Avenue, Douglass Court, and filling our pantry—yea, making it to overflow—with chicken, ham, fruits and many other choice staple and fancy provisions, for all of which and the love demonstrated we are profoundly thankful and take this means to express our thanks.

Super-Si Dashes Off 18 Word Dashes Off 18 Words Per Minute --- Peter B. Kyne, while not the most prolific of living novelists, holds the speed record on composition. He types his own copy and has turned out as much as 13,000 words in twelve hours at a stretch, an average of eighteen words a minute. "I have written twelve hours at a stretch many times," Kyne says. "Of my several hundred short stories, none takes me more than two days or two sessions at my typewriter. I do not think I have taken more than twelve hours in the production of a short story. "Frequently when I start a story it is in quite a nebulous form, though usually know how I am going and it. I hardly ever change the end I have in mind when I start, though I rarely adhere to my preconceived ideas for the body of the story." "Most of my novels have been what you might call impromptu. That leaves my characters a chance to show what is in them, and they take advantage of it. I can tell you. As a rule some character who is lowly and inconspicuous to start with ends up hugging the novel. I cannot for the life of me keep him down. "Take my new novel now beginning. Cosmopolitan. "The Tide of Empire." I think is one of the best I have ever written. The plot is from real life, with no other changes of course, as is true with many narrators. Most of the people in my stories are composites of many people — the characteristics of many joined to form a new character "I draw upon my own emotions and experiences largely, for I have had very real and quite diversified experience.

Famous Boardwalk To Have World's ON THE BEACH Smart sets from New York Chicago and Tank Town, Texas, have made Atlantic City famous by trouping the Illinois State Fair's one-mile dirt track at Springfield. Woven wire fencing, tested at the University of Illinois, has been installed with height and strength sufficient to hold any racing car at maximum speed. It has a strength of 80,000 pounds per square inch according to Prof. William J. Johnson M. S., and member of A. S. T. M. A. I, E. E. "We made the contract with the state's purchasing department after consulting W. W. Lindley, superintendent of the fair, and preparation of specifications by William 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 before being 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 pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A. PAGE, Auburn Ave., Richmond, VA IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J.

Women who want men do not know what modesty means. The men know it. You can get to heaven if you watch, pray and struggle to get there. Thousands of people who hage lived by their wits are now claiming that their wits are giving out. Colored folks, teach your children upright living. Should they go astray, it will not be your fault. When a woman reaches the age of 24 years she stops counting. It is only their insurance agents who give them any trouble. Good-time mothers have furnished a full crop of good-time daughters. As for the sons, they needed no training for that particular trait of character. Inherited traits are hard to over come, but they can be counteracted and overcome, if you have the deter mination and the will to do it. Some people who complain are justified in so doing, but these same complaints get them nowhere and had better be left unsaid. Colored folks should continue to be loyal and friendly, one towards another and build up strong friendships in dealing with the white people in this country. The outlook for a continuation of peace in this country is not bright. Arbitrary measures now being resorted to would indicate that the downfall of this great Republic may come within the next century. People who marry these days are said to be "loonie" and those who get a divorce are charged with having a business instinct. Those who remain single, whether male or female, are said to be wise guys. Bathing suits have become to be a regular style all over the United States of America. Women are permitted to show any part of their anatomy, while men are hard to cover up their limbs with long pants or long stockings. Sacco and Vanzetti, the anarchists, were opposed to all of the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and Col. Henry W. Anderson, the Negro-hating Virginian, is opposed to all of the provisions of the same instrument that guarantees fundamental rights to Negroes. One set goes all of the way in nullifying the Constitution and the other individual goes a part of the way in doing the same thing. No execution in the history of this country has created the excitement that the electrocution of Sacco and Vanzetti has produced. It is evident that these two men were something more than ordinary individuals sojourning in these United States of America. It would seem that they were principals in the propaganda in favor of Communism and Anarchy. Certain it was that the steps taken to save them were of a kind that would be most certain to lead them to and to insure their deaths in the electric chair. They forced the issue between the executive and judicial branches of our form of government. The action of the former in favor of the accused could not be construed other than a reflection upon the latter. Evidently these men were used as symbol to advance the cause of Communism and Anarchy. They have been sacrificed for the principles of this marching army, and it may be that in their deaths noticeable advances have been made in these schools of communistic endeavor. ROANOKE LETTER Rev. James S. Hatcher, D. D., of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, delivered sermon at 11 A. M. Subject: "Secret of a Happy Home-Life," which was beneficial to all who heard this matchless discourse. At 8 A.

Dr. Charles S. Morris, has just closed one of the most remarkable financial periods in her history; having raised $33,620.42 during the past thirteen months—July 1, 1926, to July 31, 1927. Truly we can say, "Hitherto the Lord has helped us." Having passed a great crisis of pressing obligations inevitable at this time, Dr. Morris left the city for a month's vacation. After various stops he will spend most of his time in Chicago and later will attend the National Baptist Convention in Detroit, where he will represent the church and deliver the Missionary Address. Fifth Street has always stood in the front ranks in mission work; and now with Dr. Morris as her pastor, he has spent a portion of his time in Africa himself and can so forcibly lay the serious need of help for our brothers upon the hearts of our members while his beloved daughter, Ruth, now labors in Liberia, West Africa, the church has taken on new life to do mission work. Realizing that while the work here calls for the best there is in us, true success comes only to those who gladly cheerfully stretch out their hand to their brother, the woman of the church who M. L. B. Blackwell, who so faithfully and led them to so great an attainment in contest rally which has just closed, is now arranging a series of services next week in the interest of Africa. Taking advantage of the opportunity for many of our people to hear some of the distinguishable divines who will be in attendance at the Lott Carey Convention, Wednesday, August 31st-September 4th and to help take care of the surplus crowds in the city at that time Dr. Morris has arranged a service for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights of next week. This in no way is to conflict with the convention but rather help to cement a greater spirit of Christian fellowship. Having a car and having W. T. Gray to look after it at one of his well equipped service stations is a nce- ity and a benefit to you. Call him up by phone or bring the car to one of his places. 412 North Second Street is as well equinised as the other, and the other as serviceable as 412. Pay your subscriptions promptly.

Scottish Festival at Banff in Canadian Rockies MME. JEANNE DUSSEAU J. CAMPBELL MACINNESS DAVIDSON THOMPSON This Week By Arthur Brisbane SOME DRINKING FIGURES EGYPT CONTROLS BOLL WEEVIL FARM LONELINESS BANISHED SCIENCE AND RELIGION America's millions, who imagine they are thirsty for light wine, beer or something stronger, will be interested in this. United States capital has recently lent nearly $300,000,000 to help foreign countries develop their liquor and beer business. Even in the Far East this country has financed liquor production to the tune of more than $5,000,000. Mr Hayward Kendall, who represents unorganized drinkers that ought to be saved from themselves, says: "The Eighteenth Amendment is saving America (in cash expenditures and increased efficiency) from six to eight billion dollars a year." The nation's purehasing power has certainly increased amazingly since prohibition came. In 1919 there were in America 6,500,000 automobiles. Now there are 20,000,000, and not enough. The country spends half a billion a year on radio, many millions for washing machines, vacuum cleaners, electric refrigerators. Workers in America spend more lavishly than the rich in Europe. Mr. Kendall thinks it would be a national calamity if the outpouring of money were diverted from automobiles and radio to wine and beer. While the boll weevil continues spreading in the United States Cairo telegraphs that: "Thanks to vigorous Government measures, the area affected by the boll worm has been considerably circumscribed." Egyptian acreage affected by the pest has been reduced from 89,000 peet has been reduced from 89,000 to 5,000 acres.

Pennsylvania State College has discovered that the vitamin B, so important to life, is manufactured by the cow in her stomach in great quantities. Scientists cut a little door into the "tumen," or second stomach of the cow, and deprived her of all food containing vitamin B. Nevertheless, in a little incubator in that second stomach the cow produced the precious vitamin B in profusion. That may mean to child life as much as the admirable fight against impure milk made by Nathan Straus. In cities people go crazy more frequently than they once did. Excitement, bootleg liquor and other things help. In New York State one person in every twenty-five has been in the insane asylum, according to the American Psychiatric Association. There is less insanity than formerly among women on farms. Emotional use to drive them insane by the thirst has been softened by telephone, radio, parcels post, and above all, the automobile. President Vinson tells young people of Western Reserve University that no conflict exists between science and religion; they occupy different fields. He wisely remarks that science, without religion, would lead to hopeless materialism, just as religion, when it denies the plain truths of science, leads to fanatism and superstition. Religion and science are like astrology and astronomy, or like alchemy and chemistry. Astronomy started in astrology, chemistry started in alchemy, with experimenters seeking to make gold. Science started in religion. Men, questioning the origin of things, first gave a religious answer, everything based on miracles. Then they studied more closely and began giving scientific answers. All told 24,000,000 automobiles are in use in fifty-nine countries of the earth. The United States owns 20,000,000 of the 24,000,000. The United States Commerce Department gives the figures.

The world's most famous park has been rescued from impending decay as a result of the single-handed fight of an Ohio man, Congressman Martin L. Davey, President of the Davey Tree Export Co., Kent, Ohio. When Congressman Davey made a speech on conservation two years ago to the Ohio Society of New York he started his listeners by telling them that the fine old trees in Central Park were dying, and that they were starving to death. Without trees, he said the park would become a sun-swept plain, having neither shade nor beauty. Then the battle began. The park commissioner admitted that the trees were dying, but contended that they were being poisoned by noxious gases from auto exhausts and chimneys. It was his argument that it was physiologically bad. He conquested New York. Newspapers took sides, and for days attacks and counter-attacks filled the news columns and editorial pages. Finally the Herald-Tribune suggested editorially that Congressman Davey be allowed to offer proof of his assertions against the government, selected for experiment. Davey volunteered to have the work done without cost to the city. Meantime, under Davey's direction, exhaustive chemical analysis were made of the air. They demonstrated conclusively that neither carbon monoxide, from auto exhausts, nor sulphur dioxide, from chimneys, was present in sufficient density to affect vegetation. In fact, human beings could not live if the gases were strong enough to destroy trees. The dying trees were marked for identification and treated. Proper plant food was placed at their roots, the ground was aerated, and the trees were given plenty of water to drink. Then scientific pruning was done to establish a balance between the tops and the impoverished root system. Ten elements are required by every plant, whether it be a tree or a stalk of corn. One element is taken from the air and absorbed into the tree through the leaves by a breathing process, similar to that of an animal. The other nine elements come out of the soil. Under artificial city conditions some of these elements are prematurely exhausted, and it then becomes the tree surgeon's task to make an analysis, and to supply the Mountain Cabins and Or REDWOOD MOUNTAIN CABIN WEEK-END COTTAGE by California Architects GET BOOKL YOUR C VACAT SPARE By arrangement with the California Redwood Association, readers of this newspaper may obtain free of charge a copy of the beautiful new plan booklet described in this article.

DAVEY elements that are missing. The trees were not only saved, but brought back to vigorous health. This year, the second growing season since the trees were treated, they stood in such marked contrast to the others that public opinion demanded the retirement of the park commissioner who had attempted to obstruct the work.

"The Everlasting is preferred for cabins and cottages or a number of reasons, chief among which is its great durability under conditions of exposure Redwood possesses a mature preservative and which enables it to stand up without deterioration or upkeep, and even without the protection of paint, for an amazing length of time. Specimens of the heartwood of Redwood in use for more than a hundred years are still in sound condition, and the United States government's lumber experts give Redwood the highest rating as possible to give a wood on the score of durability. The tenuic content, in addition to being a preservative, also protects the wood against the attacks of insects. Redwood contains no resin and for this reason resists fire to an extraordinary degree; it is hard to ignite slow to burn, and easy to extinguish. This is an important consideration with cabins and buildings in the woods where fire-fighting facilities are about and where woods and brush fires prevail. Redwood canes and outstand task is to restore Central Park to its former leaf splender. For that purpose he has appointed James A. G. Davey, brother of Congressman Davey, as supervising expert. A million dollars has been appropriated for the work of restoration. "Mr. Davey has demonstrated that trees can be grown in any city if they are properly cared for," said Patrick.

Redwood has a pleasing natural color that harmonizes with rustic surroundings, the shades ranging from light cherry to dark mahogany; it warps, shrinks and expands less than any other wood, but once put in place, stays put, flat and immovable; joints stay tight and fittings in place; window sash hold the weather, doors hang straight, porch rails do not sag; it thus makes a tight house that stays tight, dry and rainproof, a house that is cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Redwood Rustic Boards and Log Cabin Designs. Redwood can be hard in long lengths and wide rough weather-boards, just the thing for the rustic and artistic sidewalls of a capit, these boards do not require paint and will last a lifetime without attention. Redwood is the most durable wood that is furnished in the special form of log-building. Each piece of this siding has the appearance of half a small log with the bark peeled off; the rounded side goes on the outside of the building and the surfaced flat inside provides a smooth neat wall for the interior. Redwood is also made in all the popular designs of bungalow and cottage siding. Redwood's great durability adapts it excellently for outdoor furniture, and so used furniture and house KELLY MILLERS' AUTHENTIC HISTORY OF NEGRO IN WORLD WAR NEGRO IN WORLD WAR A GREAT NEW WORLD WAR HISTORY In addition to its containing a graphic account of the War, includes many chapters on subjects of vital interest.

Many striking testimonials 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.
