--- COLORED BOYS MAKE GOOD TIME COLORED BOYS MAKE GOOD TIME LARGE LABOR DAY CROWD WITNESS ROAD RACES Frank Smith Wins Fifty Mile Event in 61 Minutes—Several Minor Injuries Received by Boys—First. Motorcycle. race Held by Negroes in Country. In a blaze of glory the Chatham County Cycle Club held their first motorcycle races last Monday on the county roads. The affair was witnessed by at least three thousand persons gathered along the road, the largest crowd being gathered at the turns of the road, where the boys as they sped along in their initial effort to give the public a demonstration of their ability to anihilate space might furnish the most thrills. In this they were not disappointed for several nasty spills were experienced by the riders at the intersection of Ferguson avenue and the Isle of Hope road and also at Mahaney's bridge. There were two motorcycle events, the first being twenty-five miles, for single cylinder machines and the other fifty miles for twin cylinders. The former was won by Harry Blake on an Indian in 36 minutes, Sam Reynolds, also riding an Indian, finished 30 seconds behind the winner. Considering the falls at Mahaney's bridge that the two winners experienced the time in which they covered the quarter century was excellent. The real thrills of the morning, however, was furnished in the 50 mile twin cylinder race. From the start when the five machines got off in perfect order the crowds were treated to a kind of hair raising exhibition that is seldom seen and which kept them in a continual state of acute expectation. Frank Smith, on a Flying Merkle jumped into the lead at the start and though he was never in danger of losing his commanding position after the second lap, when his nearest competitor, Jos. Butler, riding a Thor, took a nasty fall at the intersection of Ferguson avenue and the Isle of Hope road. Passing the judges stand $1\frac{1}{2}$ minutes behind Smith, Butler attempted to take the turn at about a 30 mile gate. His front wheel struck the further end of the embankment and the rider was thrown about twenty feet in the air. With a groan the crowd rushed to the fallen rider's assistance, thinking that they would find him seriously injured, but he volplaned out of the air and landed on his all fours, being only dazed by the fall. He was helped to his feet and in less than a minute was out after the fleeting Smith, but the back wheel of the machine was damaged in the fall and he was forced out on the third lap. On the third lap Smith lapped his nearest competitor, winning the race in easy fashion in 61 minutes. T. Middleton on an Indian won second place in 72 minutes with Allen Solomon on an Excelsior coming in five minutes later. The races were probably the first motorcycle road races ever held by Negroes in the country and the members of the club are jubilant over the success of the event. Aside from the motorcycle races there were two bicycle races, two and ten miles each. Both races were won by the same boys, Geo. Williams, first; Brownie, second; John Campbell, third. Dancing Class Entertainment 一 Smith, Green and Hardwick's Dancing Class entertainment Labor day at Catholic hall was quite a success. The attendance was good and the affair was very classy, several prizes being given to the one holding the lucky number. The first prize, a lady's silk parasol was won by Miss Lucile Clark; second, a lady's hair set by littie Miss Frances Morris. The first prize for men was a box of cigars won by David Lowman and the second, a shaving set won by Gassaway Davis. Capt. J. I. Washington of Beaufort, S. C., was in the city this week on business. The Savannah Tribune New School Situation Clarified Tuesday morning last, a committee of citizens had a very satisfactory conference with Supt. Ashmore of the public schools. On account of the erection of the new school building and the contemplated addition of industrial training and the rearrangement of several of the gradus, etc., much apprehension was felt by those who are mostly interested in the educational welfare of our children. The greatest cause of the apprehension was the consolidating of the seventh and eighth grades of all the schools at the Cuyler Street School, thus leaving the other three schools with six grades only and curtailing the usual program of the lesson periods. Mr. Ashmore gave practical reasons for each contemplated change, especially the ones causing the greatest apprehension. Without a doubt, he has given the matter much thought, and has in a practical way planned every phase of it. On account of the industrial feature at the new school, every angle was considered whereby the grades of the three old schools could remain intact, but it could not be done feasibly without additional cost in teachers, equipment, and, too, the cutting out of two rooms that can not now be spared; therefore, it was decided that it would be far better to have the two upper grades of each school removed to the new school building. The removal of these two grades, will cause an addition of about five hundred children to the lower grades, thus benefiting a greater number of children who heretofore have been unable to gain admittance. The curtailing of the regular study program was very satisfactorily explained, and which will be done by the consolidating of several of the less essential studies that will in no manner effect the same. It is the intention of Mr. Ashmore to have the Cuyler Street School a model one in every particular and the industries taught as practical as can be done. At present only domestic science, sewing and manual training for the boys will be inaugurated. It is the intention of Mr. Ashmore to secure as teachers for these departments, the best ones possible. The earnest manner in which Mr. Ashmore went into the details of the conference was indeed impressive, and stamped him as being sincere and fully imbued with the idea of benefiting our children, and especially in making the industrial feature a great success. The Board of Education is spending about $85,000 in the erection and equipment of the new school and it is their intention to make it the best in the country and in this every one of us will give hearty support. The only regret felt is that the entire building will not be used at this term. This is explained by the lack of funds with which to pay additional teachers, but assurance is given that by the following term more children will be accommodated. In further conversation with Mr. Ashmore, it was found that he has in mind a plan that will be far reaching and will prove of great benefit to the entire community, and that is public demonstrations of domestic science an afternoon of each week. At these demonstrations the parents of the children will be invited and the employers will be requested to allow their employees to attend also. The benefit of these demonstrations can be readily seen. There are among us many house keepers who could be enlightened in a beneficial manner by these demonstrations, and too, it will be the means of causing those who attend regularly to become more proficient, thereby giving better service and demanding increased pay. This feature may not be added at once but in the near future. By the inauguration of this feature Mr. Ashmore will receive our further commendation. All of the citizens should join in giving hearty support to these changes and added features. Wedding Invitations Out Invitations are out for marriage of Miss Jary M. Williams to Mr. Harry O. Blunt on Thursday evening, September 24th at 510 Huntingdon street, west. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th, 1914 --- Union Development Co. Organized.

C., on last Sunday morning The regiment formed at Gwinnett and West Broad streets under command of Major Jerry M. Suares, and marched to the boat. Upon arriving in Charleston, they were met at the wharf by the committees of the order there also Local Union No. 52, and given a royal welcome. The parade in Charleston on Labor day took place at 9:30 o'clock and was highly commended by both white and colored citizens. After the parade there were several entertainments given for the uniform men. There was also an exhibition drill given at Grant's park by the Chatham Company No. 4, under command of Capt. Alexander West, and a short talk on the Uniform Rank by Leut. Jake Wright. The Regiment left Charleston at 3 p. m. Tuesday arriving here at 2 a. m. Wednesday. Pekin Theatre Playing to Packed Houses. The Pekin theatre was crowded to its capacity Labor day, matinee and night, several hundreds being turned away at night on account of lack of accommodation. The bill presented was a very pleasing one and elicited much applause The stellar attraction, however was the leading soloist, Miss Nina Stovall who has been here for several weeks. Miss Stovall is by far the most finished singer that has appeared at the Pekin in the last two years. She has a well rounded soprano voice, and gives evidence of having had excellent training. The range of her voice is exceptionally wide, her tones very clear and her stage manners easy and very pleasing. From the hearty applause Miss Stovall gets, the Pekin patrons show that they appreciate a finished artist. Several new faces will be on the bill next week with Miss Stovall contributing several selections. Negro Newspaper Men to Have Closer Unity Nashville, Tenn., Monday Sept. 7.—Closer unity among the newspaper men of every grade and shade is guaranteed as a result of the actions taken at the ninth Annual Session of the National Negro Press Association, which has just closed at Muskogee, Okla The unifying of interest with the co-operation in the returns that are vouchsafed by agreements and legislation enacted at this meeting will bring from 25 to 50 per cent. increase in benefits to every newspaper belonging to the Association. The redoubling of the efforts to lift the standard of the newspaper, the publisher and correspondent to a higher plane of efficiency and to make the publications themselves cover their scope of proficiency will continue to be pushed. Climaxes of some of the well laid plans that are to be worked out in detail will be reported to the Executive or Mid-Winter Session that is to be held in this city during the month of February. Some of the things that will be completed and reported for final action will be a Code Service by which cipher messages can be sent from one member of the Association to another. This system is being worked out by a committee consisting of the chairman of the Executive committee, Jos. L. Jones, of Cincinnati; and Henry A. Boyd, the corresponding secretary; of this city Another is the advertising matter which was left in the hands of a committee consisting of B. J. Davis of Atlanta; W. E. King of Dallas; J. A. Booker, of Little Rock, and R. H. Boyd, of this city. This committee reported at Muskogee that arrangements had been made and only details were left to be worked out. The Muskogee meeting went on record as having accomplished a number of things beneficial to the newspaper men. They condemned unfair and unjust accommodations on the railroad trains offered to the Negroes throughout the country. They have requested all the newspapers throughout the country, irrespective of race to capitalize the letter "N" in Negro. The first venture along this line was accomplished when the daily papers of Muskogee acceded to the command. They selected and endorsed a new improved plate service that will furnish the papers throughout the United States with a uniform lot of news, well written, well arranged and artistically displayed. The appearance of the Minutes of the Association, giving full, detailed account of the proceedings that are now in press will be much earlier this year than were elected: Melvin J. Chism, Baltimore, Md., president; R. E. Jones, New Orleans, La., vice president; H. M. Gilliam, Denison, Tex., second vice president; Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Tenn., corresponding secretary; Charles Sumner Smith, Minneapolis, Minn., recording secretary; L. G. Jordan, Philadelphia, Pa. treasurer; C. J. Perry, Philadelphia, Pa. auditor. Cards of Thanks. Mrs Rosa Jefferson wishes to extend her, since she thanks to her friends who so kindly assisted her in her bereavement and for the many beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. William Tay'or wishes to thank the many friends for her kindness and floral designs given at the death and burial of her cousin Lillie William who died in Waycross on September 3rd, and was buried here on September 6 $ ^{ \textcircled{3}} $Race Prejudice in Africa In South Africa—a British colony—the natives of India, who are fullfledged British subjects, have to put up with the following restrictions and indignities: All East-Indian immigrants are required to register themselves precisely as criminals are registered, that is to say by finger prints, etc. They are compelled to live by themselves, in reservations outside the pale of civilization. The quarters assigned to them are unhealthy and insanitary. Educational facilities are grudgingly given their children. No matter how much money they may be willing to pay for the ride, they are forced to travel in inferior railway and street cars. It is practically impossible for them to buy or even lease property. They are hampered in every conceivable way when they attempt to secure licenses to engage in trade or peddling. In some instances, East Indians who had built up commercial enterprises in South Africa have been financially ruined because the authorities refused to re-admit them after a temporary absence out of the Union, and would not allow them to import their countrymen to serve as emplovers. A poll tax of $15 a year is imposed on each East Indian who elects to remain in South Africa after the term of his indenture expires, and he must pay a like amount each year for his wife and for each son above eighteen and each daughter above thirteen years of age. The authorities harass the settlers by refusing to allow their wives and children (even though the latter may have been born in South Africa) to join them. The legality of marriages contracted according to Hindu and Moslem rites is denied, and children born in such wedlock are deemed illegitimate. Religious observances are interfered with by barring out priest and preceptors.—Southern Workman. St. Philip's Church Sunday was communion day at St. Philip's. Rev. S. L. Lash was God's messenger at the eleven o'clock service. Rev. Singleton delivered a special sermon to the workingmen of the city on Sunday night in accordance with Labor festivities. Our members must get busy. The fall rally is only six weeks off. The operetta, "Cinderella in Flower Land" will be given at St. Philip on Monday night, September 21st, admission ten cents; this entertainment will be for the benefit of the rally fund. The following services will be held on tomorrow: Praymeretting at 5:30 a. m.; preaching at 11 a. m.; Sunday school at 3 p.m; A. C. E. League at 7 p. m.; preaching at 815 p. m. Board was the momentous item of the Convention. It shows that from 1897 to 1914, $2,145,307,35 has been received and expended in the maintenance of the plant at Nashville and that 128,582,208 periodicals had been published and distributed under the auspices and from the presses of this institution, and that 3,393,674 letters have been sent to various portions of the United States The enormous circulation attained in the past year, declared this report, would have been even greater but for the high waters and the disastrous overflows in the section of the country where the Negro Baptist predominate. Secretary Boyd reported by quarters, showing the number of letters received and the number of letters mailed each month for the four quarters in the fiscal year. They make a grand total of 238,029 for the year just closed. These operations cover every department of the Sunday School work. Secretary Boyd also reports the progress made by the Sunday School Congress, the Teachers Training, the Boys' Cadets, Metoka and Galeda Class Movement and Readers Course and Negro Doll Clubs. The delegates sat in breathless silence as these reports were being made, and as one climax after another was reached by the speaker, who closed with an appeal for a closer co-operation on the part of the men and women who make up the denomination. ```markdown ``` EXCELLENT REPORT BAPT. CONVENTION SECRETARY BOYD SHOWS PROGRESS OF BAPTIST Home Mission Has Spent Nearly $65,000.00—Possibility of Extending Work to Central America—Publishing... House Makes Fine Showing. Convention Hall, Philadelphia, Pa., September 10.—Like the rushing and roaring of the mighty waters were the echoes and applause of delegates to the great National Baptist Convention when the Rev. Richard Henry Boyd, D. D., made his two mammoth reports, showing another year of progress in which more than two hundred and four thousand dollars' worth of business had been done by the board, located in Nashville, Tenn., to the Convention in session here. While this was not a new departure for this giant oak in the forest of Baptist throughout, the country, magnificent and towering in height as he is, the hundreds of delegates and thousands of spectators that make up the convention could not preceive how he had accomplished the marvelous progress and the rapid long strides along the religious denominational lines in so short a time. The ex-slave, who is the founder of the largest Negro printing establishment owned and operated by Negroes in the world, occupied the attention of the convention for more than two hours. It was conceded at the end of his report that the work of the Baptist Publishing House is not only the backbone, but the bone, and sinew of the 2,500,000 men and women who go to make up the constituency of this the largest Protestant gathering in the world. There was no feigning at eloquence, no attempt at oratory, but a mere commonplace, business genius, recounting calmly and yet accurately the supreme efforts and wonderful successes that had been achieved in less than eighteen years by the Negro Baptist at their publishing House in Nashville, Tenn. These two reports, one the nineteenth annual report of the Home Mission Board, and the other the eighteenth annual report of the National Baptist Publishing Board, made by one man, the secretary of both boards, sounded more like fiction but came nearer reaching the stage of perfection than any document that has come before this august body. Without any experience save what was gathered from the cruel, cold business world, there has been established and maintained, says this report, at Nashville, Tennessee, an institution that is crowding the half million mark in the vale, where more than a hundred young men and women are employed as skilled laborers, artisans and the light in the literary world. In the Home Mission Board report the summary shows that the missionaries have travelled 47,096 miles; they have written 14,574 letters, and that a total of $64,890.40 has been spent for missionary operations on home fields It is sub-divided by subjects touching upon missionary operations, the co-operative missionary work; the plan of doing Sunday school colportage work; the economical side of mission work; the co-operative work between Bible conference and theological training; need for better trained missionary workers; and closed with a ringing declaration of the work in Panama and forecasting the possibility of the Negro Baptist extending their missionary work to the Central American Republic. It itemizes and tabulates the extensive operation for the Home Mission Board. The report of the Publishing Board is styled as the business end of the convention. While Dr. Boyd was making these two reports the chairman of the Home Mission Board, Rev. Dr. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock, Ark., and the chairman of the publishing board, Rev. Dr. C. H. Clark, of Nashville, Tenn., were seated on the platform as they had made introductory remarks. The report of the Publishing ALLIES REPORTED TO HAVE WON VICTORY Germans Said to Have Received a Check KAISER'S ARMY RETREATS It is Also Reported That the English Troops Have Annihilated the Imperial Guard Commanded by Crown Prince. A Boulogne dispatch to the London Evening News says a telegram has been received from General Pau announcing a victory by the allied forces at Precy-Sur-Oise. The imperial guard, under Crown Prince Frederich William, is reported to have been annihilated by the British forces which opposed them. The Evening News dispatch says. "A telegram has been received from General Pau announcing a victory by the allied forces under Field Marshal Sir John French, commanding the British, and General D'Ammaade at Precy Sur Oise, about twenty-five miles north of Paris. "The allies were drawn across the northern line with the center at Precy. The English troops were on the left and the French on the right. The former had in front of them the imperial guard under Crown Prince Frederick William. "On both wings, it is reported, the allies were successful. The German left was held by the French and retired to the north. "The imperial guard, who were ordered to surrender, were annihilated by, the British. It is reported that the Crown Prince was in their midst." The British official bureau has received no confirmation of this message. Germans Fall Back The news contained in the French official communication that the Germans had fallen back before the vigorous advances by the allied troops on the line from Nanteuil-Le-Haudouin to Vardun indicates that the Anglo-French forces have got on the flank of the German right wing, which passed by Paris to the north and was marching eastward to join with the crown prince's army coming south. It has been suggested by military experts that General Von Kluck's movement to the south was taken as a matter of precaution before the movement by the allies from the coast. It is possible this new army has reached Nanteuil-Le-Haudouin thus getting on General Von Kluck's flank. The engagement took place Sunday and that evening the Germans began their retirement. 150,000 Russians at German's Rear. One hundred and fifty thousand Russian troops have passed through England and are at the rear of the German army in France, according to Vance Thompson, an American writer, who arrived here today on the Red Star liner Kroonland from Liverpool. On August 28 Mr. Thompson said he saw detachments of Cossacks on their way to channel ports, and learned that the British government had suspended regular train service to give the Russians the right of way. He added that he could say from reliable authority that 150,000 Russians already, had crossed and now probably were attacking the German rear, while it was understood thousands more were on their way from Archangel by the Arctic ocean route to England. Passengers on several steamers from England recently have reported a movement of Russian troops through the British isles to the continent. PATHETIC SCENES. Tired Children Sleep on Piles of Luggage. The flood of refugees which is pouring into Paris from the north ahead of the advance of the German army is growing in volume. Most of them are penniless and have lost all their possessions. A feature of this influx, which would be comical if the general aspect were not so tragic, is the array of pets and toys and other articles brought by the children of the refugees. Some have brought chickens and rabbits and canaries, while others lug favorite kittens or white mice It is a pathetic sight to see little children asleep on piles of assorted luggage, their dusty little faces streaked with tiny rivulets of tears. I saw one boy, who could not have been more than 7 years old, asleep on a pile of old clothing. His face and hands were grimy with the dust of a long overland journey. He clutched a half-eaten bun in one hand and against his side a dog was curled up asleep. Famine Feared in Vienna. According to a Copenhagen dispatch to the Paris Temps, a famine is feared in Vienna within a fortnight. Dispatch from the Austrian capital say 250,000 persons are without work and the number is increasing rapidly; all stores are closed and the people are despondent. Shark Kills Youth in Lake. Peter Kontopoulas, a 17-year-old Turk, lost his life at New Orleans in a half-hour battle with man-eating shark off the steamboat pier at Spanish fort in Lake Pontchartrain.

Selfishness assumes many forms, and in every one of them may be found the desire to grasp some fancied means of happiness, even at the expense of others. Many things innocently pleasurable in themselves when they come to us in a rightful manner turn into guilty and fraudulent possessions when sought and gained through the losses or pain of others. "The Housewife's Week. "Feeling Mondayish?" said a man at the club. "What's that?" There were explanations, which suggested that the Monday feeling was a survival from school days. The man with the Monday feeling admitted he had that slack feeling on the second day of the week, but that as the years had passed Monday had become to him just washing day. This is how he described the week: Monday, washing day; Tuesday, ironing day; Wednesday, matinee day; Thursday, early closing day; Friday, tidying up day; Saturday, shopping day, and Sunday the day of rest.

It is a common thing with smokers for their safety match boxes to give out on the striking side before all the matches are used up. If they will keep in mind just one thing this can always be averted. The safety striking part is very quick on trigger and needs only a slight contact instead of a long scratch. Simply snap the end of the match quickly for about a quarter of an inch on the striking surface. In this way the outside may always be kept fresh and usable. The long scratch, of course, causes the match to ignite before contact ceases, and the surface is actually burnt up. Some safety matches will strike on a windowpane-Chicago Record-Herald Worth More Dead. Unbearable. Her Housekoping. IDLENESS POPE BENEDICT XV. Not Prominent in the Conclave and Comparatively Little Known. Despite all the disturbances in Europe, balloting for a new pope went on quietly and quickly at Rome, and the result of the final ballot was a surprise to the world. Cardinal Giacomo della Chiesa had not even been mentioned as a possible successor to Plus X. in the days preceding the conclave. To the world in general he was but little known and had been created a cardinal only on May 25 last. He was born at Pegil, in the diocese of Genoa, on Nov. 21, 1854, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1878. He accompanied Cardinal Rampolla to Madrid in 1883 and remained there as sec- P. retary of the nunciature until 1887. He then returned to Rome with Cardinal Rampolla and entered the secretariat of state as one of the "minutanti," or minor officials. In 1901 he was appointed substitute of the secretariat and secretary of the cipher. On Dec. 10, 1907, he received a notable promotion when Plus X. appointed him archbishop of the important see of Bologna. His administration of this diocese was so well conducted that it won for him a place in the sacred college of cardinals in less than seven years. He was the youngest of the cardinals who were created during last May. He will not reach his sixteenth year until next November. Pope Plus X. was sixty-nine when he assumed the office. The new pope has taken the name of Benedict XV. Benedict XIV, became pope in 1740. He was a native of Bologna, and this probably influenced the new pope in assuming his title. Benedict XIV, possessed talents of a high order and was profoundly versed in theology, history and classical literature. He founded academies at Rome, built a number of public edifices and was a munificent patron of learning and the fine arts. He died in 1768, leaving behind him the reputation as one of the most learned and able of the pontiffs. It is presumed that Benedict XV. will follow in the footsteps of Plus X. in condemning what is known as modernism, for when he was made archbishop of Bologna it was declared in Rome that this post was given him mainly with the object of combating "modern" religious ideas. Bologna was then the headquarters of the National Democratic league, whose members were advocates of modernism in religion. In January, 1914, while at Bologna, the present pope issued a pastoral letter strongly condemning the new dances. ENGLAND RUSHES FORCES. A Second Army Is Being Drilled With All Speed.

Paris is far better prepared to stand a siege than then, but Germany can surround it with a much greater force than formerly and with powerful siege guns that were unknown a half century ago. Gay Paris has disappeared, extinguished by the terrible shadow of war. Its beautiful environments have been destroyed in order to make a clearer battlefield, and the city itself after evening falls is plunged in darkness, for the electric lights which made the streets so brilliant are no longer lit, lest they form shining marks for Ger- ```markdown ``` VIEW OF PARIS FROM LIFFEL TOWER. man airships. Paris is now chiefly inhabited by women, children, the aged and inyaliids, and all noncombatants have been warned to leave the city so that a great exodus has swarmed forth from the city, in many cases for lack of transportation, leaving all bags and baggage behind. A cheerful side of the picture is the assurance given out by the authorities that Paris is in far better shape in regard to the food supply than in 1870. There are large stocks of flour, cattle, general provisions and coal actually within the city gates and large stores continue to arrive every day. The water supply has been protected against any attempts of the Germans to cut it off. Inmediately after the signature of peace in 1S71 the Paris defenses were reorganized, and a second line of forts ```markdown ``` has since been constructed outside the defensive line which resisted the German attack in 1870. All the positions the Germans took up in 1870 are now occupied by French defense works. These have been arranged in three main blocks-Versailles on the south and southwest, Vincennes on the east and St. Denis on the north, each block forming a big intrenched camp of its own, capable of sheltering an army of 150,000 men. The perimeter of the fortress as a whole covers nearly ninety miles. The new first line forts are in striking contrast with those of the second line, which were built in 1840, though they have been brought up to date. The bastion front has been replaced by a polygonal trace. The forts are built of earth, not masonry. They have parapets thirty to thirty-five feet thick and ditches forty feet wide and thirty feet deep. Enormous earth traverses cover the guns from enfilade fire, and in some of the larger forts are cupolas, which look like gigantic umbrellas at the salients. In many cases double tier guns have been constructed. These forts are very cunningly sited and would not be easy to attack with sage guns from a distance, owing to their concealed positions, while it will be impossible even for German infantry advancing under the lash of their officers to assault them until their gun fire has been subdued. The Germans will have to bring up the heavy siege guns which they used against Liege and Namur, but this will take time, for when each piece of ordnance takes thirty horses to transport it the pace cannot be very quick. In the system of defenses about Paris and all cities protected by modern works the forts form only the skeleton of the fortified lines. The bastioned wall which used to be the main reliance for the defense of a city is impossible today. A wall of the old type would be speedily reduced by modern siege guns, and to surround a modern city by an unbroken circle of forts of the new type would be an economic impossibility for the richest nation. A space of six miles, at least, has to be left between the city and the ring of forts to prevent the siege guns of the enemy from coming within range of the city. Fort St. Cyr, on the second line of defense at Paris, is ten miles from the limits of the city. The forts about Paris have a circumference of about sixty miles. The seventeen great forts which form the framework of this defense are said to have been erected at a cost of more than $200,000,000. To build a solid wall of such forts the cost would mount into the thousands of millions. Much of the system of fortifications about Paris is secret. The space between and in advance of the main forts is dotted with small preserves forbidden to the public, in which batteries are mounted. Vast lines of fieldworks are designed for the intervals between the forts. Under the modern theory of the defense of a place by far the greatest number of heavy guns are fought from places outside the 9 HOTEL DES INVALIDES, WHICH CONTAINS TOMB OF NAPOLEON. fort. As the enemy knows the position of permanent works he is able to place his batteries where the forts can do the least harm. While formerly the big guns were all fought from within the fortress, it is necessary in modern warfare to place them where their positions can be changed as the fortunes of the battle change. For this purpose there is about Paris a military belt line railroad which connects with all the forts and has spurs connecting it with the places designed for field fortifications, so that big guns and ammunition can be speedily moved from one position to another. The railroad is concealed from the enemy by tunnels or sunken roadbeds, where the lay of the ground does not afford natural cover. On the other hand, the military railroad system was laid out before air craft scouting had gained its present effectiveness. Military critics estimate that a garrison of 170,000 would be required to man the defenses of Paris, and that a reserve force of from 50,000 to 100,000 more would have to be in readiness to take the places of the slain. If the German army succeeds in investing Paris the main French army would be certain to retire southward and continue fighting. Next to Paris the most strongly fortified city in the interior of France is Lyons. Even if the Germans reached Paris they would not necessarily be in control of more than one-tenth of the territory of France, and while the French armies remained intact the country could not be beaten. The modern types of forts at Paris are shallow from front to rear, with two fronts facing the enemy and meeting in the center at an obtuse angle. The walls are concrete. Inside the heavy guns are worked from disappearing turrets, with cupolas of steel armor. These guns are aimed by officers in armored turrets, which rise long enough for them to take their observations and then are sunk.

Saturday, September 12th, 1914 The motorcycle races by the Chatham County Motorcycle Club on Labor Day were a success in every sense of the word and provided amusement for something like three thousand persons gathered along the county roads on which the races were run. By holding the races Monday, the Chatham County Motorcycle Club probably placed a bright page in the city's sporting history which perhaps, they are not aware of. It was first time that a Negro motorcycle club has ever held a regular road race and the boys deserve to be highly commended for the manner in which they conducted the affair throughout. To have the distinction of saying that the Negroes of this city were the first to run motorcycle races such as those of last Monday is an honor which members of the race are proud of and we of the race here is proud and we feel that it is simply but a beginning of great endeavors in this line in the future. However in our hour of triumph, we are not unmindful of the fact that without the hearty co-operation of the county police in protecting the course, the success which attned the races Monday could not have been attained. The guarding of the course by the county officers, thereby reducing the probability of accidents to a minimum, was all that could. be desired and the entire Negro population and the Chatham County Motorcycle Club are greatly indebted to them for the excellent service which they rendered. The races Monday have been the topic of much favorable comment on every side. It is such sporting events as these which make all Savannahians proud of their home and cause them to look forward to greater accomplishments in the line of sports. There can be naught save timeliness in the suggestion now emanating from the high prelates of the various churches, that the Christian people throughout the world pray for the early termination of the great war which is now gnawing the very vitals of European civilization. To know that there could be such a cruel and barbarous conflict as the one which now grips practically the entire European continent is hardly credible. Yet such is a fact. And this, in this age of twentieth century, Christain advancements and enlightments. That Christianity has received a rather telling blow as a result of the present conflict, there can be no doubt. Nevertheless, we believe that with the proper united effort on the part of the Christian peoples of the world, the present great European conflict will be undermined from its very foundation. We believe in prayer. Its efficacy has never been questioned by us. To us, it is the strongest instrumentality for good that a Christian people possess. There undoubtedly would have been no present conflict of arms between the warring nation to-day, if the Christ life had been properly emphasized by them. Throwing altogether to the winds every vestige of the Christian tenets, these nations have gone about their way seeking the very throats of each other in order to vent their most barbarous and inhuman spleen, the one upon the other. And for what? Nobody knows. Each warring nation has its own story. Each claims to be waging a war which is being justified by the Great Jehovah. How absurd! Could a just God justify such a savage conflict as the present? We believe not. There is no denying the fact that the great responsibility of checking the present titanic European struggle rests with the Christian people of the world. Relying insurance department.

Let the Negro Business League take a census of the number of business activities of our people in this city. It would be a source of inspiration.

Editorial Notes In Atlanta, two colored men of the same name were in jail at the same time, one detained as witness in another case, the other charged with burglary. At the trial the witness was called in and tried for burglary. He protested his innocence but to no avail, the white woman who was robbed identified him as the man and was positive about it. He was found guilty and given a sentence of two years in the penitentiary. After the trial the prisoner continued to protest his innocence, finally upon investigation it was found that the wrong man was tried, now the court will have to set aside its findings against him. The salient point about this is the positive identification of the white woman whose testimony was the main cause of his conviction. This is only a sample case of the no doubt numberless men who are serving time or have been sent to death via gallows or lynchers route by such faulty identification. Only about two more weeks before the schools will reopen. There will be added rooms, especially for younger children. Parents should begin now to prepare for the sending of their little ones. An ordinance forbidding the erection of small room low ceiling, homes huddled together without proper ventilation, should be enacted and enforced. The city's health depends largely upon the razing of the existing germ producing shacks. Some efforts should be made to prevail upon parents to keep especially the younger girls at home at nights unless they are out with proper escorts. Reputable clubs and societies giving entertainments should not tolerate vulgar dancing. Some of these institutions to their everlasting credit do this, let others follow suit. The gospel of saving a part of their earnings should be preached in a telling way to our youths. While young prepare for adversity and old age. Turkey's ambassador to this country told some mighty truths in an interview given out this week. The Christians should think twice before accusing the Turks of their alleged bloody deeds.

Teach the children to stay at home, at night and read the proper kind of books and papers. We feel sure that Dr. Washington does not favor segregation, but because in his recent address he told his hearers to beautify their present localities, several possimists are flaying him about it.

At the expense of our people several nationalities have been enriched and are now being enriched. It is about time for us to get into the game.

Memory Veres, 1-4-Golden Text, Matt. xxv, 13-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Notwithstanding all His teaching and His many mighty works, the question of Isa. ill, 1, still remained, "Who hath believed our report?" Many of the chief rulers believed on Him, but because of the Pharisees did not confess Him for fear of being put out of the synagogue, for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God (John xli, 42, 43). After His many woes upon the Pharisees He spoke of the desolation which would come upon Jerusalem until His coming again because of their rejection of Him (Matt. xxli, 33-39). Instead of admiring the magnificence of the temple, as His disciples desired Him to do, He said that the whole thing would be thrown down and not one stone be left upon another. As He sat upon the Mount of Olives over against the temple Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately of the end of the age and when these things would be (Matt. xxiv, 1-3; Mark xll, 1-4; Luke xxl, 5-7). His reply is given in these three chapters and is of greater length than any other recorded answer to a question. Dr. Weston says that to no vision but that of Jesus was the coming overthrow visible. He saw what seems to occur to no student of history—that the destiny of a nation, as that of an individual, is determined by its relation to Christ. In every sentence of the discourse there seem to resound Christ's opening words, "Take heed that no man deceives you." Wars and rumors of wars will characterize the whole age, but the believer must not be troubled (Matt. xxiv, 6). At the end of the age there shall be a time of trouble such as never was before and never will be again, and immediately after that tribulation shall the Son of Man come in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory (Matt. xxiv, 21, 29-31). He will find things at His coming in glory as they were in the days of Noah (Matt. xxiv, 27-39). The lesson of today and next week is found only in Matt. xv, which chapter consists of three parts—the ten virgins, the talents and the judgment of the nations. The middle portion we have already considered in connection with the parable of the pounds. Unless we learn to distinguish between the Jew, the gentile and the church of God (I Cor. x, 32) we may miss much in the matter of interpretation, but the great thing is to get the heart lesson for ourselves—the message from His heart to our hearts. He is still, at the time of our lesson, dealing specially with Israel (the Jews) and has only mentioned the church as something yet to be built (Matt. xvi, 18), but wherever we read in the Bible there is a message for the heart of man. The message for my heart in chapter xxiv is that I must let no man deceive me; that I must patiently endure; that I must be watchful, ready, faithful, doing. In the story of the ten virgins I learn that lamps are no use without oil, that mine should always be trimmed, filled and burning brightly, never flickering or dim or going out, and that I must be ever ready and watchful. From Zech. iv I learn-that to have a constant supply of oil I must know and abide in Him who, as my great High Priest, not only redeems me, but ever lives for me, and as my King or Lord controls all my life, desiring to work in me to will and to do of His good pleasure. Then shall I know the meaning of "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts" (Zech. iv, 6). Then shall I, controlled by the Spirit, make good use of the talents intrusted to me and hear His "Well done, good and faithful servant." May it by His grace be our happy privilege, dear reader, yours and mine. What a terrible thing it will be to be only professedly His and to hear Him say, "Verily I say unto you I know you not" (verse 12; compare chapter vii, 21-23). Compare also the wise and foolish of chapter vii, 24-29. What a mercy that the door is not yet shut (verse 10; Luke xiii, 25). What a blessing to be shut in with Him, as Noah was in the ark (Gén. vii, 1-16). As to the interpretation of the parable, it specially concerns Israel, for the coming of the Son of Man (verse 13) is always the coming of the Lord Je- bus Christ in power and glory to judge and to reign, which means His coming with His saints after He shall have received them unto Himself. Both the Vulgate and Syriac translations give the first verse of our lesson thus: "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who, taking their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride." It is the return of Christ after the marriage of the Lamb and has some special reference to Israel. If you cannot put your hand on the Syriac translation get a Roman Catholic Testament, which is a translation of the Vulgate MS., and verify for yourself this translation. If you cannot agree with others as to the interpretation of this or any other passage do not fall to get your own heart message from the Lord. When is a man mos confused? When he misses his train.

When Abraham Lincoln in 1860 sought solitude that he might write his inaugural address he asked his friend Herndon for a copy of the constitution, for Webster's reply to Hayne, for Jackson's proclamation against nullification and for Henry Clay's speech on the compromise on 1850. The Truly Reticent Woman. Speak of a reticent woman and most people picture to themselves a woman who doesn't talk much. But the truly reticent woman—the woman who makes reticence an art—is not at all silent. She talks with apparently the greatest candor, so that people go away from her saying what a frank, genial woman she is. And no one ever suspects, unless he or she is phenomenally clever, that the genial conversationalist had all sorts of unspoken things in her mind.—Exchange. HIDING THE TRUTH. No good can come from a policy of hiding the truth. Be sure your sins will find you out, but there is no need to have sins. If you begin by hiding small things you will develop cowardice and dishonesty in almost everything you do. Giving Birds a Chance. If man's instinct as a hunter could have been diverted from birds to insects the history of economic affairs, and especially of agriculture, would have been very different. But he has continued killing birds, not merely as a sport, but often for greedy traffic, long after the need to do so passed away. The time has come when governments must take serious thought for the protection of bird life in order that plant life on which human sustenance depends may not be jeopardized and destroyed.—Atlanta Journal.

CEREMONY WAS IMPOSING Ceremony Took Place in the Sistine Chapel With the Entire Pontifical Court and the Roman Aristocracy Present. The coronation of Pope Benedict XV took place at Rome in the Sistine chapel. The ceremony was imposing in its solemnity. The Sistine chapel was used for the occasion to avoid pump during the war. The entire pontifical court, numbers of the Roman aristocracy and the family of the pontifice were present. The scene with Pope Benedict seated in the Sedia Gestatoria, preceded by bearers of the triple crown and flanked by bearers of the celebrated feather fans and sixty cardinals in their full vestments, was a striking one. When the ceremony ended the pope was received with loud acclaim. NO POSTPONEMENT. Panama Fair Impetus Gaining Despite War.

"It will prove a splendid opportunity for manufacturers the world over, because the markets of Europe are practically closed and will be for some time. "Many Britishers are endeavoring to induce us to postpone the exposition because they will not be in a position to make the wonderful display they had planned. While some of the foreign exhibits—those of the countries at war—will be compelled to withdraw, many French and English manufacturers will have their outputs at San Francisco." "TO STAY ON JOB." President Says He Will Not Make Speaking Tour. President Wilson announced he would not make a speaking tour during the coming campaign. He declared his intention of "staying on the job," because of the "unlooked-for international situation." Buy-a-Bale Move Begun in Louisiana. A movement for immediate financial relief for cotton farmers in distress because of the European war and light market, was launched at Shreveport by the Red River Valley Bank and Trust company, whose officers and employees, even the porter, pledged themselves to buy a bale of cotton each at 10 cents a pound from the bank's customers needing immediate assistance in cash. U. S. Flag. Salute to Encircle Globe. President Wilson has ordered that all army posts, naval stations, vessels of war and revenue cutters shall fire a salute of 21 guns at noon on September 12 in honor of the star spangled banner centennial. The salute will girdle the globe, as at this time the navy has vessels in nearly all parts of the world. $85,000 Stakes For Lexington Trots. The official program for the grand circuit trotting meeting to be held at Lexington. Ky., October 5 to 17, inclusive, shows that thirty-eight races will be run, with a total of $5,000 in stakes. Probably the most attractive stake will be the 3-year-old event of the Kentucky Futurity, which will be contested for on October 6. Representative Padgett Renominated. Congressman L. H. Padgett, of the Seventh Tennessee district, chairman of the house naval committee, was nominated in the Democratic primary in his district, defeating State Senator G. W. Turner by a majority of more than 1,000. At Gasden, Ala., 250 bottles of whisky were emptied into a sewer while Mayor J. H. Holcombe and a large crowd looked on. The Hquor had been taken by the police from blind tigers, and was destroyed by order of the court. Carolina Cotton Seed to South Africa. The first order ever received in South Carolina, so far as is known, from South Africa for cotton seed, reached Anderson. It was addressed to a local seedsman and called for a large quantity of long staple seed. Wilson May Fix Peace Prayer Day. President Wilson has received many requests to designate a day for prayer for peace. Most of the requests come from religious orders, but some are from individuals. Child Smothered to Death. Marvin, the 4-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Chandler, of Watkinsville, Ga., while playing with other children in a cotton house in which several hundred pounds of seed cotton was piled, was smothered to death. The German Crown Prince an Enigma to Many, Hero of Conflicting Stories THE crown prince of Germany is certainly a character who creates a great deal of discussion and about whom opinions as well as newspaper reports appear to differ materially. One day he is reported as severely wounded and hors de combat and the next as leading his detachment to a brilliant victory. By some it has been maintained that Germany's plunge into war was not chiefly due to the kaiser, but to the crown prince and a small company of intimate friends—hotspurs—who egged him on in the interests of the war party. Crown princes are born to be calumniated. It is their fate to have manifold stories told of them, whose truth is colored by a plebelan love of royal escapades. Kronprinz Friedrich Wilhelm, now in command of one of the German brigades, has had more stories told of him than magazines and Sunday supplements can print. Young Frederick has quarreled so often with his father that every one will tell you he has all his father's traits. He hasn't. He has not his father's vim and energy nor his astuteness. He has only the inheritance of the kaiser's stubbornness. He is slow, plodding, somewhat dull and matter of fact and lacks totally that practical imagination which has led his father to do and dare so much. He agrees with the kaiser on one point only—from the day that he began to study international politics he has fiercely, thoughtlessly, hated England and everything English. Many a time the reichstag and the chancellor have had to rebuke him for some uncalled for slur upon the Britannic policies. When fourteen years old Frederick was sent to the Prinzenschule, a military school for sons of noble families at Plauen. It was here that he developed his grent skill at all sorts of sports 10 THE GERMAN CROWN PRINCE. —riding, yachting, tennis and motorcycling. The strictest kind of discipline was maintained at Plauen, and during his four years there the kaiser ordered that no social entertainments should be permitted to divert his son's attention from his work. After that came a course at the University of Bonn—an uneventful course that was only interrupted by one hasty journey incognito to Paris, where the young heir proceeded to see all that is to be seen in Paris. His father heard the news, summoned him to Potsdam on his return and there was a lively half hour of scolding. But Kronprinz Friedrich Wilhelm has had few enough affairs with the ladies. Even before he married the beautiful Princess Cecilia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin he was maintaining a very fair reputation rare for princes. In 1902 there was his infatuation for Miss Gladys Deacon, whom he met in England and whose beauty so attracted him that he fell deeply in love with her and was willing to give up his prospects as heir to the throne in order to make her his wife. The emperor demanded back from Miss Deacon a ring which his son had given her—an old heirloom—and the Duchess of Marlborough pitched in and made things rather hot for the Hohenzollern family. Finally, however, the ring was returned. Meantime the crown prince was closely confined to his room, and his uncle, Prince Henry, was sent to represent Emperor William at the coronation of King Edward. The young heir's education has been varied. He was traveled, he has worked in the steel shops of the Krupp factory, he has studied engineering and mechanics, as well as trained himself—more willingly and spontaneously—in the arts and letters of his own country and others. He is an accomplished musician, and his playing of the piano is a delight to his little court whenever he has been sent away with a retinue to some outpost military garrison as a punishment for disobeying his father. It has been pointed out that Frederick the Great was a great musician and that as a youth, apparently hopelessly dull and stupid, he had no diversions except playing the fute and quarrelling with his father. It is only barely possible that history will repeat itself. "Have you ever noticed how small the line is between success and failure?" asks a contributor, to the Farm and Field. "And in many cases in farming it is because the farmer falls to figure his business on an interest basis. "It takes around $250 to make 100 acres hog and sheep tight. Where can any farmer invest $250 which will pay such a high rate of interest as this will? I have my farm fenced in this way, and we shall, as soon as the corn is planted, spend a little time planting pumpkin seed in the corn and at the last cultivation shall sow rape in most of the corn. Just as soon as the silos are filled we shall turn out the hogs to clean up, hog down the corn and eat the rape and pumpkins. This means that without any labor whatsoever 300 hogs will get their own living and grow fat from September to Christmas, and a large part of their feed will be from rape and pumpkin seed that cost less than $30. I am able to do this through having the farm hog fenced." INEXPENSIVE ICEHOUSE An Efficient Sterage House Can Be Constructed by Home Labor. Among the comforts of the modern farmstead the icehouse holds an important position, especially during the summer season. An efficient type of storage house can be inexpensively constructed by home laborers when they have a little spare time, and the building will more than pay for itself in the first season of its active use. There is a middle western farmer who has been using the same icehouse for the last twenty years, and the building is still in fine, serviceable shape. It is of simple construction and cost little in time, labor or money. Any other countryman with a few odd moments, several pounds of nails, a hammer and a saw can duplicate it. This storage house for ice is twelve feet square and rests on a five foot brick wall that is eight inches thick. It is essential to provide either a stone. A COMFORT IN THE HOT SEASON. concrete or brick wall for the building, as otherwise the house will rot out in a few years. A five foot wall eight inches thick, such as described above, will cost approximately $50, while a solid concrete wall of similar construction can be built for about $25. It is preferable to lay three feet of the wall below grade line and the rest above the surface of the ground.—Farm and Fireside. Repairing With Concrete. Repairing With Concern A common source of annoyance and expense on the farm is the decay or giving away of building supports and foundations. When this occurs it is considerable trouble to replace these with new timber or ordinary masonry. It frequently happens that a building is in first class condition while its supports have disintegrated or collapsed. For making repairs of this character concrete surpasses any other material. This is due to the fact that it is a plastic substance and may be molded or poured into recesses not readily accessible when another material is used. Timber supports may be renewed without jacking up the building beyond its original elevation.—Kansas Farmer. IN ORCHARD AND GARDEN There should be practically no vacancies in the garden or orchard. This is a matter of great importance, but often neglected. Potted strawberry plants may be set any time during the month of August. If soil and weather conditions are favorable they will make a fair growth before cold weather. Screen wire coated with linseed oil will last many years as a protection for fruit trees from the gnawing of rabbits and mice. Make it into two inch cylinders about two feet long, and with fine wire fasten one around each young tree trunk. If the onions need additional nitrogen sow nitrate of soda broadcast at the rate of 100 pounds to the acre. This will stimulate rapid growth and increase the size of the bulbs. Nitrate of soda may be used at intervals of two or three weeks until the crop is nearly matured. In order to have soil that is comparatively free from weed seeds many gardeners begin a year in advance or planting to prepare the soil. If onions are to be planted next year manure is applied freely this year for a cultivated crop, such as corn or potatoes, and no weeds are permitted to go to seed.

The room was crowded, and most of the patrons stood in order to get a better view. One old gentleman, a Kentuckian, remained in his chair, playing idly with his glass, though the other members of his party were on tiptoe with interest. Finally one of them, a young girl, caught the old gentleman's sleeve and pulled it impatiently. "Oh, come on, major!" she said. "Be modern!"—New York Post.

Phone 2171 Forever Dry. There is a youngster in college who combines the poetic instinct with a keen sense of humor. He is not a close student. In fact, he regards books as instruments of torture. One of the professors picked up a textbook belonging to him the other day and found on the flyleaf this bit of verse, which no doubt expressed the student's opinion of it: Should there be another flood For refuge hither fly. And should the whole world be submerged This book would still be dry. -Philadelphia Record. Working Overtime Mr. Griffin had spent an anxious afternoon at the office and hurried home at an unusually early hour. "How do you feel, dear? What did the doctor say?" he questioned his wife as she lay on a couch, her eyes half closed. "Oh, he asked me to put out my tongue," she murmured. "Yes?" "And after looking at it he said, 'Overworked.'" Mr. Griffin beaved an audible sigh of relief. "I have perfect faith in that doctor, Mabel," said he firmly.

Lindsay Under the auspices of the Negro Business League, the doors of the beautiful structure of the St. Paul C. M. E. Church at the corner of Maple and West Broad streets, the pastor of which is that magnetic man, the Reverend Mr. J. A. Martin, was thrown wide open to an intelligent as well as an appreciative audience; on Thursday Night Sept. 3rd, to hear Mr. G. H. Bowen tell his own characteristic way of his impressions of the far South West and the pleasures and profits he got out of being the distinguished representative of the Local Negro Business League, before the National Negro Business League which convened in the city of Muskogee, Okla., in the latter part of August. Mr. Bowen, for quite an hour, told us of the wonderful progress the race had made during the past fourteen years since the organization of the National Negro Business League by Dr. Booker T. Washington and a few of his optimistic friends in the city of Boston. In his talk of business philosophy, which talk, as we have already said, lasted for more than an hour, Mr. Bowen took his hearers with him to Atlanta, thence to Birmingham and on from there through Memphis to the great Convention City, Muskogee. There he sat us down at the feet of the great ap, postle of industrial education where our racial sensibilities were touched and awakened, and where our acquaintance with old friends were renewed and strengthened. These together with a multiplicity of encouraging signs of the permanent progress the race has made and is still making in this country, amidst the white man's civilization, made us feel way down in our heart of hearts that we were real proud that we are members of the Negro race. Yes, you alone were the loser who were unfortunate enough to miss the very excellent account our representative gave of his trip and hear him tell of the benefits he derived from having had the honor of mingling and being associated with the pioneer Negro giants of this country. A positive stentorian call was made through the columns of The Tribune (which is known by the sobriquet: The "daddy" of all the boosters of Negro businesses in this community) that Sunday evening, Sept. the 6th, would be the time, and the Wage Earners Bank would be the place, that members of the Negro Business League would have their "beauty extracted" for the purpose of running a cut through a special edition of The Tribune which will be issued some time in the near future. This call was responded to by those who found it convenient to get off at this particular time, and as a result you will see through the columns of The Tribune in the Special Edition as mentioned above, a few of the men, who, in a humble way, are trying to assist in making, working and employing conditions to better that army of young men and women who are coming from the various schools and colleges from year to year. If you are not already a member of the Local branch of the Negro Business League, then, stop by our headquarters in the Wage Earners New Bank Building. Mr. Bowen's Real Estate office and hand in your name and $1.00 to Mr. E. W. Houston and help to push the way you say you are looking.
