Aftersthat the plugs were taken out of holes in the boats which were then cast adrift. “The submarine went to the north- east for twelve miles, the commander taking the life belts to the conning tower and throwing them overboard. I hid’ mine under a rain cont and as the submarine hegan to submerge, I tled it aronnd ms neck and jumped into the sea, | “The rest of the crew stayed on deck until they were swept off by the sea as the boat dived.

Odd Fellows To Meet Tuesday fo Davis-ingram Faction The Georgia Corporation of the Grand United order of Odd Fellows will meet in grand lodge session at Macon, Ga., on next Tuesday, The meeting, no doubt, will be presided over by B. S. Ingram, who was at one time the recognized grand master of the state by the Sub-Committee of Man- agement, which is the highest judicial ‘body of the order In America. ‘The del- jegates will assemble og Monday and many caucuses are expected prior to ‘the convening of the grand lodge. The holding of this session has attracted wide attention and its final outcome will be ‘awaited by “the hundreds of niembers of the order. ‘There ix quite a deal of unrest in the rank and file which fs due-to the legal bat- tle that bas been fought between the Vavis-Ingram-faction and that of Pitts, Styles, Jobnson, Daniels, Pharrow and Graves, Tir more than cighteen mouths these two factions have been waging war on exch other and Im which the Sub- Committee of Management played an important part. It resulted in the suspension of B. J; Davis and Century Loze of which he Is a member, ex- pulsion of B.S, Ingram and the re- vocation of the grand lodge charter. The case was taken into the Superior court of Fulton county at Atlanta and that tribunal set aside the actions of the Sub-Committee. Notwithstanding the fact that Davis and Ingram are not recognized as members of the or- der by the Sub-Committee, they have arranged for the holding of the grand lodge next week In accordance with the action of the last grand lodge session At Athens. ‘Though there have heen several delezates elected in Savannah, it 5 understeod that none of them will attend the meeting. : Arrangements were underway for the re-orzanizing of the grand lodge In this city, which was ordered by the Sub- Committee. but from all accounts, the project has falled and have left the affairs badly muddied, At a recent meeting of the-committee held in Phil- adelphia, the charter of the grand lodge which had been revoked by that bods was restored and the three re- maining members of the Georgia ex- ecutive hoard, namely, J. BM. Pitts, J. C. Stiles and TF. D. Jobrison were put In authority thereby., These three men in whose hands were placed the man- agement of the affairs for the oppost- ‘tion wended their way to Atlanta last ‘week and sought a compromise. The result is thaf Pitts, Stiles and Johnson flopped over to the Daris-Ingram fac- tion and are now circulating letters over the state urging the members to attend the Macon meeting. Judge Bell of the Superior court of Atlanta, refiized to Issue an fnjunction ‘against the¥Stacon grand lodge and farther held that the holding of any dther meeting under district grand lodge No. 18 of Georgia would be in contempt of court, As the matter now stands, many of the members In the state are In a quandary as to mat po- sition to take and the flopping over: of Pitts, Stiles and Johnson have left thengs in as bad condition as be-| fore. It is expected that the Macon: meeting will be largely attended if| from nothing more than curiosity. | IST. CQNGREGATIONAL CHURCH Last Sunday mornitg, the platform services at the First Congregational Church was well attended and the pro- gram as prepared was carried out ex- cept two vocal parts.

And so, you ~can simply suit yourself as to the ma- terial you should use for your draped dress, for a draped dress you must have, unless you are willing to admit frankly that you are not in the swim of fashion. The new draperies take more forms, but the most popular is the kind flus- trated here. Sometimes the material 4s draped about, the hips, and at other times the drapery very much lower. In skirts of the kind the width hem is narrower than usual so as to obtalin the draw-in appearance at the ankles. ‘The width varie from about one and- cighths to two yards, making these kirts narrow enouzh to be smart yet seant for comfort in walking. There seem to be a tendency in most skirts toward the narrow effect at the hem, especially in the new tailored skirts. The afternoon dress illustrated ahove is of black satin, the skirt show- ing the new side drapery, and the waist the tle-on style which goes exception ally tvell with this type of skirt.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE; SATURDAY AUGUST 11,1917 Among The Masons The grand lodge of New York maintains an employment bureau and last year found positions for 302 members of the fraternity. This is practical Masonry and is the kind of work for which the fraternity was organized.—Selected Masonry an Asset Men who are contemplating joining a fraternal society, often ask themselves, what benefits will I derive from my membership in it, and will it help me in a business and social way? To these we will say, that those coming to Masonry, will be able to get out of it just as much as they put into it. The law of compensation is applicable here just as it applies to anything else. Masonry gives men the opportunity to show what is in them, and those who show themselves worthy will be amply rewarded. Masonry helps its members also in a business and social way, but the benefits received along these lines also depend upon the individual. A Mason who lives up to the principles upon which our great fraternity is founded, cannot help but benefit himself, and a man who is benefited in this way can look out upon the world with a broad view, and unconsciously he receives the development which enables him to reach higher planes in the business and social world.—Killwinning Bulletin. Wearing the Embelm One of the rights and privileges to which all Master Masons are entitled is that of wearing the emblem of the Masonic fraternity. Taking advantage of the privilege inevitably entails an added responsibility or obligation. The world can never know what Masons do behind tiled doors. We work in silence and secrecy. Nor can the world know who is a Mason and who is not, unless the Mason himself makes it known. When a Mason pins on his coat the insignia of the institution, he announces to the world that he wishes to be known as a Mason. Masonry is judged by the actions of Masons, and the louder a man proclaims his membership, either by word or deed, the greater influence will his conduct have on the good name of Masonry. To refrain from making yourself known as a Mason does not release you in the slightest degree from the obligations you have assumed and the duties incumbent upon you, but wearing the emblem of Masonry should ever remind you to be duly careful, that nothing you do or say may reflect on our ancient and honorable institution.—Masonic Chronicler. What Makes You a Mason Why are you a Mason? Not because you have complied with the forms and ceremonies of our ancient institution and received signs and tokens and words, but because you have discerned, accepted, and adopted the inner meanings of the symbols, allegories and legends of the fraternity and have submitted to the principles inculcated in the Masonic degrees and in the Ancient Constitutions, regulations and landmarks. This being true, you are not to allow to givern yourself wholly as a Mason, in full view of and controlled by the Masonic lights and teachings. Other institutions may have forms, reguations and teachings, which you can approve, and which are all right as they use them, but as a Mason you are not to introduce them into any Masonic body or association of the craft for the sole reason that they are not in accord with Freemasonry. To illustrate: The beneficiary system of various orders is all right so far as they are concerned, but all wrong if attempted by Masonic bodies. Freemasonry is on a higher plane, namely, that of faith, hope and love, as taught by pure and undefiled religion, and the necessity of the distressed and the ability of the donor is the measure of the giving by the individual, by the lodge and the grand lodge. We are Masons because we rise to and stand upon that plane with God our Father and man our brother.—Selected. GREAT MEETING TO BE HELD AT CHATTANOOGA Negro Business League Weekly Letter By J. C. Lindsay Owling to the fact that Negro business men and women all over the state of Georgia are so worked up with regard to the National Negro Business League meeting which will be held in the city of Chattanooga, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 15th, 16th and 17th, inc., is the reason which may be given for the article pated large attendance, which this state will send up this year. One of the encouraging features, as concerns the Georgia Negro business men and women, with reference to the Chattanooga meeting this year, is that business men and women, who bieretofore gave but little thought to this great national meet of Negro business adepts, are now planning to go to Chattanooga and lend encouragement to this great national Negro business organization. Word comes from Atlanta, Macon, Waycross, Athens, Griffin, Augusta and other sections of the state, that a large delegation from Georgia will be on hand at the Chattanooga meeting, to assist in giving and receiving inspiration, which naturally follows a meeting of this kind, where there will be no points of order raised, no lieu motions made, no privilege questions discussed, no parliamentary tactics resorted to, in short, the men and women who attend the National Negro Business League, are that class of men and women from every section of this country, whose highest aim is to encourage members of the race to become business factors in every line of commercial endeavor, in order that the race may have permanent standing in the business world. The writer of this weekly letter, who happens to be the state secretary of the Georgia Negro Business League, is receiving daily many encouraging letters, not only from the men of the state who are co-operating with the national officers in their efforts to have Georgia give its full quota strength to the league this year, but he is receiving many letters of congratulations from the national officers themselves upon what the have a right to expect that Georgia will do in this regard. One of the noteworthy aspects in regards to the state automobile party, which will mobilize in the city of Atlanta, Tuesday morning, August 14th, for the cross-country drive from that point to Chattanooga, the seat of the national Negro business meeting is, the interest being maulfested in the trip by the class of business men who are pushing it in the northern end of the state. Col M. B. Moton and Dr. W. H. Harris of Athens; Dr. Bowden of Griffin, while Dr. C. H. Johnson and Capt. A. F. Herndon of Atlanta are using their influence to make this trip one worth while. It is indeed, very gratifying, not only to the Negro business men and women of the state of Georgia, that Capt. Herndon, the Negro business wizard of the state has seen fit to use his great influence in the matter of making this anticipated auto trip a great one for Georgia, but the national officers themselves, have on several occasions, made special mention of what is being done in this state by this great man of affairs. Word comes from all the centers of Negro population in this state that business and professional men and women of the race are laying aside their petty differences of long standing and lending their unstinted support to the National Negro Business League, which is headed by two very pronounced race men in the person of the Hon. J. C. Napler, president, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary. These two officers, together with their strong official family which is scattered all over this entire nation, are leaving no stone unturned to make this year's meeting the greatest in the history of the organization. Dr. E. D. Bowden, the successful business and professional man of Griffin, will look after the league's interest in the cities of Newnan, Barnesville and other towns near by. Capt. Herndon and Dr. C. H. Johnson will look after the league's interest in the city of Atlanta, Marietta, East Point and other nearby towns and cities. Editor John Henry Adams, of the National Negro Journal, published at Waycross, Ga., will have associated with him, such well known business and professional men as Drs. H. C. Scarlett, J. J. Creagh, G. P. Washington and J. C. McGraw and others, who will see that their hustling little city as well as Valdostn, the metropolis of Lowdes and Quitman the big town of Brooks, and on down the road to Thomasville, and as far southwest as Bainbridge, make that section of the state felt in the matter of sending up to the National Negro Business League a strong delegation from the South's empire state. There are so many fine business men in the towns of Albany, Cordele, Fitzgerald, Columbus, Macon, Dublin, Gainesville, Rome, Athens, Milledgeville, Eatonton Madison Covington and in fact, Negro men and women of affairs may be found in great numbers all over the entire state of Georgia, who would be glad to take a few days off at such a meeting as the one which will be held in the city of Chattanooga. Let the interested Negro business men and women of the race who may chance to read these lines see to it that those members of the race, who may be engaged in some legitimate line of business, receive at their hands the proper encouragement, not only in the matter of trying to have them see the importance of attending the business league this year, but see to it that they be given encouragement along all other lines. There will not be another local league meeting until the first Wednesday evening in September, which will be the 5th. Come early and hear the ropert of the returning delegates from the national meeting. SOCIA LHAPPENING The Twelve Ivy Leaf Sewing Circle met at the home of Mrs. D. J.

MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS Savannah's colored citizens take a pardonable sense of pride in the appointment of Dr. Charles C. Middleton the Medical Re- serve Corps of the United States Army, with rank of first lieutenant. First Lieut. C. C. Middleton, U. S. A. M. R. C., left the city last Wednesday night for his post of duty at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. Lieut. Middleton's appearance on the streets of Savannah in the full first lieutenant's uniform was an event extraordinary. He was extremely becoming in his attire and carried to the service of the government a rare fitness and versatility as well as a broad conception of his patriotic duty in this tour of national peril. It is just this sort of ambition and just this kind of man possessing it, that emphasizes the onward march of the race. Until we had trained, capable youngsters who could make good, strong bids for honors here and there, we were eliminated as a race, without course. But now that we are able to qualify for positions requiring high character and broad culture and training and real capacity, we are able to bring a great many matters squarely issue before the American public. Colored men must not only have high ambition, they must be fully qualified to defend and sustain that ideal. We know Lleut. Middleton's rare fitness and adaptability—and we have no doubt he will give a good account of himself in the national service wherever he may be placed. We believe he will reflect great credit upon himself and upon his town people, because of his splendid qualities and competency, and we feel a sense of assuredness that some of the young Negro men will demonstrate to the nation, beyond a peradventure of a doubt, that many are eminently well-qualified for national trust and position. Savannah is particularly well represented in the army service, now, there being some seven or eight youngsters from the city now training for army officerships at Des Moines. We are hearing daily that these, too, are bearing their responsibilities splendidly, as we predicted they would. Not a single one has been returned for lack of physical fitness, lack of mental capacity or derelection of duty. All have made good to this day, and they have undergone severe tests of both mind and body. Little by little the problem of a race is touched here and there by this event and by that incident,—and we keep the hope that merit will one day come into its own and that a fullsome opportunity, and freedom will be the privilege of all men. RIOTING Rioting continues in several of the larger industrial centers at the North, and as has been pointed out by The Tribune, is not altogether unexpected. The great masses of industrial workers, embracing all the lines of unskilled labor, the thousands and thousands of tollers in factories, founderies, mines and the myriad sweatshops which go to make up the manufacturing industries of a nation, are a morbid unmoral lot of people, as a rule. We say unmoral, advisedly, because these great groups of Americans are not so much unthinking, as that they are arbitrarily unreasonable and reckless unmoral. Their cult, and their creed engender in the young and encourage and intensify in the mature, an innate antagonism to everything, to every class, and to every individual outside themselves. These people have never known the sense of fairness, of freedom and of opportunity; they have not conceived or contemplated the principles of equity, equality and right; they have had no vision of sacrifice, unselfishness and national spirit or fellow-feeling. Their natures have been fed from infancy on the doctrine of unionism in its most depraved conceptions and interpretations; their children have grown in an atmosphere of repugnance to every interest save their own; they have always been taught to resent and to hate those more fortunate than themselves and that these fortunes were built on cheap labor and the hard industrial conditions of the tollers, rather than upon commercial genius and business acumen. For generations this creed has been growing and developing and, organizing, until now we have a powerful human force known, by a sort of fiction, as Labor, which weilds a terrible and sinister influence in American life. Violence, bloodshed, burning, pillage and a wanton disregard for the rights of property and individuals are manifestations of their displeasures; no interests can supersede, contravene or even delay their own under pain of some outbreak of strike or violence. Arbitration, which is their right and should be their remedy, is only resorted to when they know their claims will be met. Arbitration has no binding effect, either in morals or in law, when its awards are not as liberal toward their own contentions as in their own narrow judgment and estimates they deem they should be; they exact every consideration, they make no concessions. These unionists are not particularly interested in efficiency or economy; their preachment is ever and eternally higher wages, shorter hours and less work, and absolute monopoly of employment and control over all conditions. The right to work is to be extended only to such as in their whims may be entitled. Their influence in American life is momentous and terrible. Society is prejudiced in their favor and sympathizes with them, violence and plunder notwithstanding; their vote is the greatest single factor in politics and their judgment of candidacy and policy always reverts to the attitudes of candidates toward labor and the legislation labor seeks. These are the great leavers of labor and it is with thee that it has upset American industry and established a mean, unsound and unjust standard of opportunity for American working people. The government has temporized with the vagaries of labor, if it has not even judged them. Changing political regime, the bid for the labor vote and graft have influenced governmental attitude and dealing not a little. A labor leader, more notorious than influential, in a recent strike in Schenectady at the employment of a Negro expert on the same floor with white men, naslenced to cite that the attitude of his constituents was based upon preceilent set by the government. The government discriminates for them, and why shouldn't they do so for themselves? Thus we have the anomalous situation of a free government, a nation claiming to fight for democracy and democratic ideals, fathering and fostering an unwarranted and unwieldy institution like discrimination. Is it to be wondered at that we have these sporadic outbursts in spots where there is some occasion and pretext? Isn't there almost always, if indirectly, at hand the suggestion to "trike"? Violence is one of the natural manifestations of the aggrieved, and is indirectly attributable to the cause of grievance. This then is the psychology of the "mob", an organism, at once, ignorant, indulged and immune; it transgresses all law, natural and prescribed; it arrogates to itself all concession. it is without reason and excuse; it is the enraged, infuriated, blood-scenting and untethered beast raving and frothing in the market place of people and property. As bloody and ruthless as mobs are, and as much as our people have suffered from them, they have not been without their objeet lessons and teachings: Out of them Negroes derive some advantages from their misery and death, they learn the ways and unreason of abandoned men and institutions, they learn to adapt themselves to the conditions which these entail, and to prepare to meet and protect themselves from hardships, they learn the value of unity and organization, they learn the awful necessity and the supreme power of the suffrage and the grave calamity and misfortune of disfranchisement, they learn the high value of thrift and frugality from knowing the extremities of poverty—they learn that industrial free- dom must be won at as great cost and sacrifice as person, freedom, and that without one the other is a galling mockery. The last word, then, is this: There can be no freedom or fairness without such protection and guaranteed right to equal opportunity in industry and politics as there is in religion. The American Negro today is only half free. No fiction of Freedom or Progress, can deceive the thinking and manly Negro that he has been emancipated. view of Savannah's Negro citizens. It is the purpose of that club to do definite constructive work. Here is its opportunity. It could create and maintain a non-partisan labor market and clearing house which would work untold benefits to both employer and employees; it could see that equity was done both parties. Equity is righteousness, and no man could asked for more. All the other problems of life and living, as far as the government may have a hand, are vitally related to labor and industry. The Proclamation of Emancipation must be re-written in equal opportunity in every ramification of American life to every individual, there can be no restrictions or reservations, for Freedom and Liberty were their, a lie. Speaking before the Rotary Club last Tuesday, Mr. T. J. Woofter, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture who is making a study of the migration of Negroes from the South, stated that lynching, lack of justice in the courts and poor educational facilities were among the primary causes of the exodus. These very things have time and again been set out by The Tribune and other organs throughout the country. They have even been set out by the leading white dallies of the South. They are long since and thrice-told tale, and generally acknowledged to be true. The strange and tragic thing about the situation is that these awful truths fall on ears, long since deaf and unimpassionable. The South except in isolated sections, is apathetic as regards Negro education. There is no uniformity of policy or expenditure on Negro education among the various states. Here we find a state having done well by its Negro common schools, while along side it we find another in which educational conditions are chaotic. In many instances, one part of the state has been fairly well provided for while the other portions have been sadly neglected. Very often the fairly good appropriation for Negroes which has been made, is due directly to the influence of some just influential advocate in the legislature,—while just as often the failure of Negroes to get their just portion of the public school funds has been due to the opposition of a narrow, short-visioned man or two. What the Negro gets in some states is just so much as must be allowed to meet the technical requirements of the letter of the law. In no sense and at no time, is there that reasonable and careful study given to the needs of Negro education. These things are shamefully true, and the figures will show it. The Atlanta Independent, in its last two issues, has very succinctly and courageously, catalogued the glaring unfairness and inequity of things in Georgia, along the line of education. Mr. T. J. Woolfer, has said the same thing, recounting the very same disproportionate figures and percentage, which were set out in the Independent's chart of educational statistics in Georgia today. But the conscience of Georgia is dulled or dead on the issue of Negro gro education. When the matter of annual appropriation for these state colleges comes annually before the Legislature, it is railroaded through as part of the general bill and attracts no attention whatever. There are doubtless members of the Legislature present, when the bill goes through, who do not recognize it at all and who possibly do not know of the existence of a state school for Negroes. The Rotary Club can take some cognizance of the suggestions and intinations of their guest, Mr. Woofter, if it will. Their purpose is to make Savannah energetic and progressive; to stimulate the civic and business life of this city and the neighboring community. What more vital point of attack could they make, then, than to undertake to see that uniform and systematic justice be done the Negro laborer and the citizens of this city, along the lines pointed out by Mr. Woofter? The Rotary Club touches the whole city and it can easily bring its views and plans before the people at large. Conditions in Sayannah are far from being normal—especially industrial conditions. The conditions are constantly growing worse, under migration. Every exodite becomes an agent for the business of migration. Negroes are leaving because, generally, they feel no vital kinship in this community; they are not made to feel that they are a part of the city government. The matter of civic duty and civic benefit is never brought forcibly to them so as to impress them of their connection with the government. They rather feel that they are tolerated and dwell here by sufferance. There is abundant reason for this illogical immaterial and abandoned attitude and state of mind. The Houston Post, which has written, so far, the fairest and fairest observation on Southern Conditions, has said so. Now such an agency as the Rotary Club can do a whole lot to change this view of Savannah's Negro citizens. It is the purpose of that club to do definite constructive work. Here is its opportunity. It could create and maintain a non-partisan labor market and clearing house which would work untold benefits to both employer and employees; it could see that equity was done both parties. Equity is righteousness, and no man could asked for more. All the other problems of life and living, as far as the government may have a hand, are vitally related to labor and industry. If the Rotary Club wants a definite task and wishes to help this town, Mr. Woofer has pointed it out to them. They cannot revolutionize the Sluth, but they can arouse Savannah. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. S.

Perry of Fernandina, Fla., Mr. Henry Howell of Savannah and Mrs. John Brighton of Charleston, S. G., Miss Louise Stephens of Lumber City and the Misses Lee, the hostesses of the occasion. Music and games were the attractions and the party dispersed having enjoyed the evening pleasantly. When the first troubles in East St. Louis became public late in May, the N. A. A. C. P. recognized that this was something of the utmost importance. East St. Louis is one of the great centers whither the migration of at least a quarter of a million Negroes has set. It was therefor of the utmost importance to understand any troubles that might arise and to ward them off if possible. We recognize the strong interest that various people South and North had in stopping Negro migration and discouraging the emancipation of the black serf. Before, however, our representative could get to East St. Louis, the terrible riot of July 2 had taken place. A hundred or more Negroes were killed. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. AUGUST 11, 1917. scores of homes and property destroyed, and six thousand refugees crossed the bridge into St. Louis. The St. Louis Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. immediately began relief work. Our members prominent in professions and business, for nearly ten days gave almost their entire time to the succor of the victims. A mass meeting was called and a special finance committee appointed. Contributions came from as far as Kansas City and Chicago and some $400 or $500 was immediately collected. The Association worked in conjunction with the white Red Cross and with other colored individuals in the city. The Municipal Lodging House was opened and hundreds of individuals' homes. Immediate steps were taken to prepare legal cases against the city and county. The Legal Committee of the Association held open doors and hundreds of declarations of losses were received by Attorney Phillips. Dr. W. P. Curtis and others gave much time to the wounds of the victims. From the national office, Dr. DuBols was sent to make a thorough study of the situation, and Miss Martha Grunening to inquire into the attitude of the employers and labor unions. Dr. DuBois organized a force of twenty-five volunteer workers and five paid workers. Chancellor Lloyd of the Knights of Pythias kindly donated the parlors of the Pythian Hall, and Dr. Curtis donated an office on market street. Clorks were installed and the stories of nearly two hundred victims carefully taken down. Detailed statistics covering fifteen hundred of the refugees were also compiled. Visits were made to the various sections of East St. Louis and to the colored settlements of Brooklyn and National City. Several meetings of the executive committee of the Branch were held and one mass meeting of citizens which overflowed the beautiful Presbyterian church on Pine street. Every effort was made to cooperate with the churches and other organizations with notable success. We also got in touch with leading white citizens like ExSecretary Nagel and Mr. C. M. Hubbard and Miss Pulliam of the Red Cross. The Chicago Branch contributed $200 to the relief funds and also, under Judge Brown, is preparing to give legal aid to the prosecution of the county and city. It will be remembered that Illinois has two statutes which bear upon this riot, first an "Act to indemnify the owners of property for damages caused by mobs and riots" passed in 1887, and the other, an "Act to suppress mob violence," approved in 1905. The Association, through its National Office and through the Chicago and St. Louis branches, proposes to leave no stone unturned to bring to justice the guilty perpetrators of the East St. Louis outrage. The St. Louis branch is still active, the investigations of the national office are proceeding, and the Washington branch is pushing the resolutions for investigation introduced by Congressman Dyer and Dallinger and Senator Sherman. All members and friends of the race are urged to write their Congressman demanding passage of these resolutions which are H. J. Res. 118, H. J. 124 and S. Con. Res. 10. Detailed stories of the truth about East St. Louis will appear shortly in various magazines and in the Crisis Persons who are convinced by our experience in East St. Louis and elsewhere that a national fighting body of this sort is absolutely indispensable are urge to join the Association and to contribute to our Anti-lynching and Anti-Mob-Violence Fund. A check for $100 has been received from the Knights of Pythias of the Grand Jurisdiction of Illinois and other contributions have been sent by various or organizations and individuals.

When I was in East St. Louis the other day I noted that there were many vacant houses, and the superintendent of the public schools was a little apprehensive about opening the schools for our people, because so many people have left. They are still leaving, and where they will stop and when they will stop leaving, I am not enough prophet to tell you. The people have reached the place where they are not going to be fooled, and I don't blame them, but I am forced to say that my people must be men, and must not run every time there is a shooting of a gun, for if we will be forced to leave towns and cities by the killing of a few then we are on the move for life, and perhaps will have to stop in the Atlantic or Pacific ocean or stop in heaven. Of course before the question of human rights will be settled there must be the shedding of blood, hence, the great European war. Millions of men have died, and helpless women and children have been murdered on the soil of England, and all in a combat for human rights. Now on the question of human rights and freedom our country has been forced into the war against our will, but we are there, and now we are going to stay into it until the rights of man are gained If it takes every drop of human blood in our country. As Negroes, we are ready and willing to join the white man in doing our part. We are willing to put a gun on our backs and toote it for miles, and then go to shooting at any human being who may have brass enough to offer an insult to the stars and stripes. The world is calling for a man, and since we are a part of the world, of course our race is also calling for a man, and a man we are going to have. He must come from my boy and your boy, from our homes. Our women must train him: But coming back to St. Louis, it has been an awful thing. The night of July 2, will ever be remembered by those who are interested in the affairs of the nation. Howling mobs hunting down members of our race, just like one would hunt for wild game. Put fire to dwellings and as they rush out shoot them down, drag them from street cars and kill them because they share happen to be members of our race. The world will never know just what happened that awful night in East St. Louis, and perhaps it may be for the good of us that it will never be known. I spent two days, there and one day in St. Louis, at the Poro College, the guest of the "Malones." It was an enjoyable time. For I had at my disposal while there one of the big fine cars and Mr. Brown, who is one careful man to look after me, and my wants and take me around. One afternoon I r. l. Aaron Malone invited me to go with him to see a professional game of baseball. The invitation was accepted, because I must admit that I had never seen one. Soon we were at the game and there were thousands of people there to see this wonderful game. I have decided after looking at It that baseball is not a play, but a science, an art, and real work at that. We reached there, and saw them toss the ball. From St. Louis to Texarkana, where I spent two days, and from there to Hot Springs, and spent a little time there with Dr. C. M. Wade, and John T. Warren, undertaker, manager of the Pythian bath house, grand worthy chancellor of the Courts of Calanthe, and a busy business man. Mr. Warren had just returned from the session of the Grand court in Little Rock where they had purchased a real building, paying cash for it. They are in good financial condition, and it is due to the fact that he is a great financial leader. Then a trip to Little Rock, revealed to me that things were getting in shape for the meeting of the National Baptist convention in Muskogee, Okla., next fall. Rev. L. Arlington Wilson announces that things are in readiness, and the people are going to be there in good shape and right on time. Dr. Booker is secretary of the Home Mission Board and he is planning great things for the future in that direction. He is going to open the eyes of the Baptist of America. He is prepared to do this, because he has made his work a special study. I was in the jubilee in Lynchburg, Va., last month and now they are preparing to have one in Pino Bluff, Ark. in November. They are going to have together the army that John saw and perhaps a few more. Virginia and Georgia will be represented in this celebration. They are working hard on it. Only a few more days now before the meeting of the Negro Business League, in Chattanooga, and then the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias in St. Louis, the National Medical Association in Philadelphia, and then the National Baptist convention in Muskogee, Speaking of National Baptist Convention, the world was shocked the other day, when news was flashed over the country, that Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, the preacher, the educator, the author, the scholar was no more. We are all reminded that one by one we must leave this world, one by one we shall be called up to pass out. Dr. Johnson was one of the leaders among the Baptists. He was a man of ability, a man of worth. He was prepared. I have many things to say to you but will have to wait until other letters. C. J. Hardstew NO DISGRACE When it was recently called to the attention of Col. C. C. Ballon, commandant of the officers' training school for colored men at Fort-DesMoines, that there was a tendency on the part of acquaintances to criticize candidates who are being discharged and returned home said: "Many persons seem to feel that failure to complete the prescribed course at an Officers' Training Camp carries with it a certain stigma approximating to disgrace. This is, in general, not true, and is only true in cases of men sent home by reason of misconduct. There is no more dangerous and erroneous belief than that indulged in by many of our people, to the effect that any and every man can become a good military officer. This idea is almost equivalent to the notion that putting a uniform on a man and a rifle in his hands makes him a soldier. Both ideas are as incorrect and fundamentally absurd as would be the belief that putting a scalpel in a man's hand converts him into a surgeon, or that putting a cap on a naval officer qualifies a man to navigate and fight a battleship. Not the least useful result of our great training camps will be the correction of these absurd notions. I once mustered into service as an officer of high rank, a man who frankly said: "I don't know anything about military matters. I don't know how to get my regiment going, and if I once got it going, I wouldn't know how to stop it again." Yet twelve eleven hundred lives and national interests were made dependent upon this utterly unqualified man for purely political reasons. The mass of the people have had very little idea of the danger and disaster that lies behind such appointments, but there are, nevertheless, many wives, mothers, and sisters who are beginning to realize that they don't want husbands, sons, fathers and brothers ordered in battle by men who don't know how to give them the least show for their lives. And these training camps are going to vastly increase the appreciation of the simple proposition that a soldier needs to know his business just as does the surgeon, the lawyer, the sailor, the electrician and every other man of profession or trade. Furthermore, they will spread a conception of the fact that army officers, on whose competence or incompetence depends the lives of men and the fate of nations, require for the proper discharge of their duties, training and abilities of a higher order and a more varied character than do men of any other profession in life. It is, therefore, only reasonable to expect that large numbers of those who enter training camps will find after a few weeks trial that they were not destined by nature for the duties and responsibilities of military command. This fact should involve no reproach. It is no more disgraceful to be a misfit at an officers' training camp than to be a similar misfit in training for the church choir. Real military leaders are as rare as good musicians, and the unfit must be eliminated as ruthlessly as are the discordant aspirants for a place in the orchestra, and this elimination is not evidence that the rejected ones are not good men, brave men and patriotic men."

Text of the Lesson, II Chron, xxxiv, 1-13 — Memory Verses, 2, 3—Golden Text, Eccles. xil, 1—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We have come to the record of the last good king who reigned Ger Judah, and while Isalah and Micah were the prophets during the reign of Hezekiah, Jeremiah began to prophesy in the thirteenth year of Josiah (Isa. 1, 1; Mic. 1, 1; Jer. 1, 2). Every good prophet, priest and king points onward to the Lord Jesus who when on earth was the prophet like unto Moses, speaking just what the Father told him; who is now our great high priest within the vell, ever living to make intercession for us; and when He comes again shall be the true king of Israel, reigning in righteousness, a priest upon his throne, and we shall be His associates and joint heirs, the twelve apostles ruling over the twelve tribes of Israel (Deut. xvill, 18, 19; John xil, 49, 50; Heb. vil, 24-27; Jer. xxil, 5, 6; Zech. vl, 12, 13; Rev. 1, 5, 6; v. 9, 10; Luke xxil, 28-30). What a glorious future to keep ever before us, to wean us from all present entanglements and enable us to run with patience the race set before us! (Heb. xli, 12). As Josiah was powerless, even with the help of Jeremiah, to effectually stem the tide of ever increasing iniquity, we may not expect to do more than he did in the last years of his age, to which we have come. Jeremiah was a prophet of the Lord during the last forty years preceding the judgment upon Judah (the last eighteen of Josiah's reign and the twenty-two of the four bad kings who succeeded him), and we may be within a good deal less than forty years of the end of this evil age, which will end with a time like the days of Noah and Lot (Luke xvll, 20-30). We can only do as Josiah and Jeremiah did, and that is be faithful to God as He gives us time and opportunity. It is profitable to compare the reigns of Josiah and Josiah (II Chron. xxiv), the two boy kings, but Josiah did better than Joash, though he did not reign as long. To do right in the sight of the Lord, turning neither to the right hand nor to the left (lesson verses 1, 2), is a good summary of a godly life and reminds of the Lord's message to Abram after the thirteen years blank in his history, "I am the Almighty God; walk before Me and be thou perfect" (Gen. xvl, 16; xvll, 1). The message might be read literally: I am El-Shaddaf, the mighty God, all sufficient for you; walk before Me and be upright or sincere. It is a good word for every believer. As to being kept from turning to the right hand or to the left, there is a very gracious promise in Isa. xxx, 21. When Josiah was sixteen he began to seek after the God of David, his father (verse 3), and no doubt he did it with all his heart, according to Jer. xxix, 13, and in no sense feignedly, as many do. When he was twenty he began to purge the land from idols (verses 3-S), and the saying in verse 5 about burning men's bones on the idol altars reminds us of the saying of the unnamed man of God to Jeroboam in I Kings xill, 1, 2, when he mentioned Josiah by name as the king who would do this. In II Kings xxii, 15-20, the fulfillment of this saying of the man of God is fully recorded. I often refer to this prediction and fulfillment as a token of the literal fulfilment which shall yet be of every prediction concerning things yet future. As truly as His riding upon an ass'colt foretold in Zech. 1x, 9, was literally fulfilled, so truly shall the prediction of the next verse (Zech. 1x, 10) be as literally fulfilled, and He shall speak peace unto the nations, and His dominion shall be from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth. In Mic. v, 2, it was foretold that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem and that He would be ruler in Israel. We know that he was born in Bethlehem, the whole world being moved by the decree of Caesar, and it was that decree which brought Mary from Nazareth to Bethlehem at that time. He has never yet ruled in Israel, but He surely will at His coming again in glory, and the whole world is now being moved to prepare the way for Israel's restoration and recognition as a nation. We seem to have come to the beginning of times foretold by our Lord in Luke.xxl, 25-28, distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring, men's hearts falling them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. He said that even the beginning of such times would indicate the drawing near of redemption for Israel. (Written-May 28, 1916). Josiah's reformation reached even to the putting away of some of the idolatry introduced by Solomon (11 Kings xxiii, 13, 14). When he was twenty-eight he began to repair the house of the Lord (lesson verses 8-13), and it was then the Book of the Law was found, the result of which will be our next lesson. The house now being built is the church of the Living God, and it is the one only worthy of our attention. Every true believer is a living stone bought by the precious blood of the Lamb and by that made fit for heaven. But we are still in the quarry and by daily training are being made fit for our special places in His temple. There is no such thing possible as winning the world to Christ in this age, but we are here to gather from all nations a people, for His name, the church.

Daniel Wright, pastor Parisienne Beauty Parlors THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE Union Springs, Ala., July 30—The two days this which was held at Post Oak, twelve miles below here, closed yesterday with speaking by leading white and colored men, who in most serious words emphasized the various problems of food conservation and production. Fully three thousand white and colored people from all sections of Bullock county attended the meetings and inspected the various striking agricultural and industrial exhibits. The colored women whose work in handicraft and canning was on exhibition testified by their earnestness and enthusiasm that the efforts of Miss N. J. Coleman of the State Agricultural Extension Service and other workers are showing excellent results. Mr. M. B. Ivy, U. S. demonstrator for Bullock county, has realized equally satisfactory results among the men and boys. Some very fine live stock and poultry was shown and the Boy's Pig (Club had some promising pigs which they are fattening for fall killing. To stimulate interest in the diversification program of farming among Negroes, the leading white business men of the county offered $100 in gold for the best exhibit and they helped by their pence and words of inspiration to encourage greater activity in the rural districts. Dr. W. L. Hinds, state entomologist from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute of Auburn through which the Smith-Lever funds are administered for this state) was the principal speaker Saturday July 28th and Sunday July 29th brought many visitors to witness the exercises. Two very impressive addresses were delivered at the morning session by Mayor I. B. Feagin of Union Springs and Hon. R. L. Cope, chairman of the county board of education and in the afternoon, members of a party from Tuskegee Institute including T. M. Campbell, district agent of the State Agricultural Extension Service for Negroes; G. R. Bridgeford, director of the Agricultural Department of the Tuskegee Institute; Clement Richardson, assistant director of the Academic Department; and Albon L. Holsey, of the Principal's office, were called on for brief addresses. Other afternoon speakers were J. L. Thomas of Union Springs and Harry Simms, special agent in charge of Extension Schools. Messrs. W. E. McGowan and E. T. Burney of the Post Oak Community, deserves special credit for the success of this annual fair. MRS ORNER'S SUMMER SCHOOL Terms reasonable. For particulars call at 314 EAST DUFFY ST. SATURDAY AUGUST 11,1917 The report of the Seventeenth Annual session of the National Negro Business League, which was held in Kansas City, Mo., August 16, 17, and 18, 1916, which has just been issued from the press of the National Baptist Publishing board, of Nashville, Tenn., is a most interesting document and contribution to the race's current history. This book is not only a record of Negro enterprise and achievement but also a sort of memorial volume. The Kansas City meeting was the first meeting held after the death of the League's founder and first president, the late Booker T. Washington, and the record of the memorial session held in Convention Hall on the evening of August 16th included in this permanent record, makes the volume of immense value. The principal memorial address was delivered by Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the business league, and for eighteen years, Dr. Washington's confidential secretary and co-worker. Other speakers of the memorial session were Hon. J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn., Mrs. M. E.-Josenberger, Ft. Smith, Ark; Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Mr. Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York age; Mr. Ro-coe C. Sinnons, Louisville, Ky; all of whom paid discriminating tributes to the league's founder and gubling genius. Several distinct features stand out prominently in connection with this meeting. First was the generous hospitality and cordial welcome extended the delegates and officers by the local league of Kansas City, of which Mr. Fortune J. Weaver is president. Second was the magnificent industrial and fraternal parade, which was held Thursday afternoon, August 17th, at which time the visitors had an opportunity to see an unique demonstration of the race's progress since emancipation. Another interesting feature of the meeting was the coming of the Oklahoma delegation in thirty automobiles all owned by Negroes. A note worthy feature of the meeting was the election of Hon. J. C. Napler as president of the league, to succeed Dr. Washington. Through the entire session there was every evidence of the great influence of this organization which Dr. Washington founded in the spirit of service and every one present seemed anxious to do his or her part to help perpetuate the Business League and its principles. The annual meeting this year will be held at Chattanooga, Tenn., and with constantly changing economic conditions which are affecting Negro business enterprises in the South, there is every reason to believe that the 1917 session will mean, up to the previous session in interest and attendance.
