WAR DEPARTMENT'S POLICY AS
OUTLINED BY SECRETARY.
Troops will be Trained Later As
: Separate Units
of the national army will be organized
in separate units, as is done in«the
regular army, and, as fur as possible,
will be trained In the states where they
are raised. s
|, The’ call for Negroes to mobilize at
jtheir camps will be postponed to al-
low the officers at the camp to ar-
range for the organization of these sep.
arate units. Both white und Negroes
of the selective draft torées will be
‘given an opportunity to volunteer for
the service Iu the battalions of troops
for the service on the lines of: com-
munication, thelr work being military,
but not combatant. However, there
will be Negro fighting regiments of the
uational amy, as there are of the reg-
ulars and the National Guard.,
Sceretury Buker outlined this policy
of the War Department. today in a
statement dealing with the method to
be followed in the organization and
training of Negrues lible to draft un-
der‘ the natioual army act. Presum-
ably the Negro regiments of the reg-
jular army and the National Guard will
be retained us, they are as fighting units
‘The statement follows:
“The call for the colored men to
mobolize will be postponed pntil one
of the later calls, so that they sill be
called to.camp at a separate time, gir-
ing au opportunity for the olficers at
the camp to assemble the organizations
of which they are a part at one time.
‘They will not be called last, although
they will be included in one of the
later calls.
“All colored trops called in a state
which has a cantonment in it will be
trained there. Provisions will be
made, but has not yet been made, for
the.assembling from these states which
have not cantoumeuts of their quotas
of colored soldiers for training.
“Opportunity will be given to both
the white and colored troops of the
selective draft forces to volunteer in
certain line of communication forces
which It will be necessary to organize,
and it fs hoped that an adequate num-
ber will volunteer for this military,
but non-combatant serrtce. But there
will be both combatant and non-com-
batant colored regiments.”
‘The effect of the policy announced
by Secretary Baker will be to delay
[the-mobilization of Negroes of the na-
tional army until the units already
asembled or under orders to assemble
this month has been organized and are
under training. When the confusion
incident to the organization ef these
regiments, brigades and divisions have
been cleared up, there will be time to
assembled or under orders to assemble
regiments, battalions or companies of
‘Negro troops. Of the 687,000 men
called for as. the first Increment of the
national army, it is estimated that ap-|
proximately 70,000 will be Negroes.
Ihe following Negroes drafted in
this district were ordered last week
to report at the Jocal board head-
quarters, 17 Bay street, east, on Phurs-
day “for service. A subsequent order
yas Issued which called only for white
men to report in this order and the
Negroes were teld to report on October
3rd, All day Thursgay the office was
bescized by Negroes who regorted for
service but they were told that the
call for them was a mistake and that
they would not be needed until” next

ADVANCE NEWS OF
THE FALL FASHIONS tumes almost
ular blue.
ENTER THE HIGH COLLAR
New York, Sept. 7.—"Fashion will out" is a new adaption of an old saying that is perfectly true these days of strenuousness. Fashion has ever shown herself to be an everready ally of patriotism, and it is with the slogan of "Preparedness" that she has advanced ideas for the fall wardrobe of the Women Patriotic.
The windows on Fifth avenue are filled to overflowing with all the latest designs of the Fashion world. There are smart dresses to be worn on the street without a coat, there are stunning coats, and there are suits to please the most fastidious. So, you see, we can all plunge into the planning of our wardrobes with the assurance that the styles of early autumn are ready for inspection.
O. S. L.
When the Tunic Points the Way to Slimness
Conservatism is the keynote, conservatism developed to the nth degree. A charming example was a blue serge and satin dress I saw the other day. The narrow skirt was of satin, with a tunic of the serge slashed in the front. Instead of a collar, there was a band of white Hercules braid following the line of the surplice closing. This square meshed braid takes the exact shape of the bias collar, making it especially suitable for this use.
Side Drapery Versus Straight Silhouette
The side drapery and the straight silhouette are still battling for supremacy. The long tunic is particularly smart for the walking costume. The beige serge dress illustrated here is stunning, each detail being so carefully worked out as to make a perfect whole. The long tight sleeves are quite a feature this autumn. The novel shaping of the collar, the use of tassels instead of buttons, and the touch of embroidery on the skirt, all make for that distinction so eagerly sought by the woman of taste.
Heroes and Colorings
Just at present there is quite a vogue in Paris for naming suits and dresses after prominent Americans. Wilson, Pershing, Roosevelt and Lincoln have all been so honored! In the lovely new colors decreed by French they are quite irresistible. Gray, in every shade, is fashionable. Smoke, mist, steel, chinchilla and the gray browns, such as castor and beaver, are the dominating colors for street costumes. Munition gray, rust brown, and terra cotta are especially smart. I saw a charming dress, at one of the big hotels the other evening, of champagne-colored jersey cloth combined with raven-blue. Indeed, the softness of the vivid autumn colorings is one of the most striking things about the present mode. Of course, our national colors are displayed everywhere, but not so obviously as at first. We are using a great many of the different shades of red and blue, so that one need not go dressed as the American flag in order to "show one's colors."
Beads and More Beads
Everything is header, from slippers to hat and back again. It is not really surprising, for the effect gained by a handful of beads in harmonious colorings against a somber background is delightful. Tube-shaped beads are the latest arrivals. Sometimes the formality of a belt is entirely dispensed with, these tube-shaped beads simulating a belt and buckle. Iridescent beads, bronze green and green purple, made a simple little frock of dull green crope de Chine quite marvelous. Braiding and embroidery promises to play as important a part in the scheme of things this year as last.
The All-Black Costume Serge is being worn for street cos-
tumes almost as much as the ever popular blue. Favorite combinations are navy blue or dark and beige. Allwhite dresses are also very popular. Made on youthful lines they are as becomingw and proper for the debutante as for her mother. Of course, black satin, Georgette crepe and velvet will be worn a great deal this winter for the more dressy costumes. The
D. McCALL
black gown illustrated here has long hip-drapery which seems to emphasize the slimness of the silhouette. The high collar again has come into its own again. It has, indeed, been banished too long, for it certainly gives an air of trimness to the costume, not obtained by the comfortable open neck. This one is of black satin of the dress, and fastens with tiny black jet buttons.
Exit Straw Hats
We are saying good-by to the straw hats. Everywhere one sees the hat of velor, duvetyn or black velvet. While the latter is a general favorite still, there are very clever affairs of green, yellow, blue and brown to harmize with the costume worn. Purple velvet hats are especially smart worn with the blue serge dresses.
S. J. A. HOLDS GRAND LODGE
The Georgia Grand lodge of the St. Joseph Aid Society held a successful session last week at Brookman, Ga.. It was the seventeenth annual session and was held on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Grand Chief Rev. B. S. Hannah, still heads the institution. On Wednesday morning, September 6th, Chief Hannah called the meeting to order at 10:15 o'clock and throughout the session a spirit of harmony existed. Never before in the history of the society in Georgia has such a peaceful session been witnessed. There were about three hundred in attendance and everyone seemed pleased with the work of the officers. All death claims were paid with the exception of two that were paid at the grand lodge. On Wednesday night the convention met at the C. M. E. church, where Rev. M. C. Mitchell preached a soul stirring sermon from the subject "Lift Him up." The grand lodge officers for the ensuing year ase: Rev. B. S. Hannah, G. C.; W. M. Lockwood, vice chief; B. F. Seabrooks, G. F. S.; H. Bryant, G. Treas.; L. A. Clark, G. W. P.; W. I. Whaley, grand chaplain; C. R. Harris, grand marshall; Dr. E. M. Pinckney, grand medical examiner; E. W. Pope grand recording secretary; auditors, John Byrd, W. H. Jenkins, Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr. The convention ended Thursday night at 10:20 o'clock. The next session will be held at Valdosta, Ga.
DR. ROBERT R. MOTON SPEAKS TO FARMERS
Union Springs, Ala., September 5th Speaking to two thousand white and colored people heretoday, Robert R. Moton, principal if Tuskegee Institute, urged all the people of both races to stand by the president in the present war crisis and to save the crops already raised and, show patriotism by planting winter crops now.
The meeting today was the culmination of a unique campaign which has been conducted among the colored people of Bullock County to awaken them to a full sense of responsibility in raising and conserving the food crops. Under the leadership of Mayor I. B. Feagin and other leading white citizen the cooperation of progressive colored farmers was enlisted through Mr. I. B. Ily the colored demonstration agent for the county. The white business men of the county offered prizes

amounting to $100 for the best exhibit of home grown food products and handiwork. Fairs were held in the eastern and southwestern part of the state under the direction of N. J. Johnson and W. E. McGowan respectively, both of whom are successful Negro farmers and the prizes which were awarded by Judge T. M. Campbell, district demonstration agent and G. R. Bridge forth, director of Tuskegee Institute Agricultural department, were presented to the successful contestants today. Stirring addresses were made by Mayor Feagin, Hon. R. L. Cope and other leading white and colored people.
Principal Môton in his address took occasion to speak of the Negro soldiers at Fort Des Moines, Ia., and of the fine impression they made during his recent visit there. "I was never more proud to be a Negro," he said "than when I heard from the lips of the leading white citizens of Des Moines that because of the gentlemanly conduct of these Negro officers, the whole attitude of the white people of the city had been changed regarding the entire Negro race."
Concerning the location of Negro soldiers in the South, Dr. Moton said: "For thirty-five years, Dr. Booker T. Washington, whose broad understanding of the problems of the South and whose wise council in the adjustment of these problems was recognized and acknowledged by both white and colored of the country, urged that the races in the South set aside misunderstanding and suspicion and forge ahead for the ultimate and greatest good of the South and now that he has passed from among us and left us a rich heritage of Negro progress and mutual understanding between the races, let us not falter in our upward progress because of any new test of our patience, sympathy and faith in one another. The establishment of soldiers' training camps throughout the country together with the trying economic condition brought on by the turmoil of a world war creates a new test of our manhood and womanhood and will tax to the utmost our fortitude and self-possession in the fullfillment of our Christian duty.

the people of this country will rise to the emergency and that we will all stand by our President and our flag; that the best citizens of every community white and black, will get together for the purpose of preserving the confidence and understanding between the races and these local committees of progressive citizens can stamp out any brewing trouble.

Aside from the Tuskegee Institute band which furnished music for the occasion, the party from Tuskegee included Dr. R. R. Moton, Warren Logan, Emmett J. Scott, G. R. Bridgeforth, C. J. Calloway, T. M. Campbell, F. H. Cardoza and A. L. Holsey.

Among The Masons
The busy season is upon us. All who were able to do so have enjoyed their vacation, the summer is past, and the days and nights of activity have begun.
Let us give to Masonry that consideration which it deserves. Let us not be drones in the hive. Let us put our shoulders to the wheel, and make the coming year one of the very best that Masonry has ever enjoyed.
The officers should "take stock." Plans should be made for the coming winter. Qualified brethren should be asked to prepare short lectures on vital Masonic subjects. Occasional entertainments should be projected, and general preparations made to interest the brethren and "brighten up" the lodge.
All this requires work, as well as study. Nothing worth while can be obtained without effort.
It is especially the duty of the Master and the officers under him to give sufficient time and attention to the work of Masonry. If they cannot do this, let them give way to those who can and will.
Masonry must not suffer for the want of leaders.
Let the 1917 officers make a long pull and a strong pull to close the year in a blaze of Masonic glory.
Now is the time to lay foundations to make 191S the banner year in Masonic history.
Masonry's Duty Today
In all the ages of the past, Masonry filled its particular sphere faithfully and well.
The question has often been put, and not always by enemies of Freemasonry, what is Masonry's duty in our day—has it a mission still to fulfill
The churches, the charitable societies, hundreds of altruistic organizations, are doing noble work for the uplift of humanity. Is Masonry still needed today?
We answer emphatically, yes. Masonry stands unique among all human institutions—it has a solemn duty to perform among the sons of men.
Those who are attracted to Masonry are among the very best men in every community. They do not become members of our great fraternity through mercenary or unworthy motives—only because of a desire for knowledge and to be useful to their fellow men.
With these picked men, Masonry looms large as a factor in human uplift—next, indeed, to the church of God.
More and more it is the duty of Masonry and of Masons in our day to devote their energies and their endeavors to the promotion of this great
work—to help the needy, aid the suffering, protect the widows and the orphans, raise high the moral standard, and hasten the advent of that great era when man shall be brother unto man in every clime beneath the sun.
This, then, is Masonry's duty today—to bring about universal brotherhood, to inaugurate universal peace, to alleviate human suffering in every form, to make for purity, righteousness and to the of universal justice.
Masonry not Common
Masonry should never become common. Its perpetuity and its value rests upon the intelligence and moral personnel of its membership and a daily exemplification in their lives of its cardinal virtues. Let us heed well the points of fellowship and not only put forth the hand to save a falling brother, but also to assist him to rise to higher planes of life and usefulness. Let not the rivalries of trade or the jealousies of ambition mar the environment of the Temple; and may we take to our harts the great truth that tehre is no service so acceptable to the infinite God as the unselfish, sacrificing service of our fellow men—Masonic News.
Eternity only will reveal the noble deeds of Masons and the mighty influence of Masonry.
We know not what the morrow may bring forth, but, if we do our duty today, we need fear no evil.
You will never regret your service for Masonry. It will repay you an hundred fold.
If you faithfully earn the wages of a Master Mason, they will enrich you spiritually and mentally.
Better than Riches
You have heard a Mason, or one not a Mason, remark that few rich men are of the fraternity.
To the man who is deroting his every thought to the accumulation of riches, Masonry is all thing to avoid. Our institution teaches men to treat their fellows fairly and that is the duty of every man to aid the less fortunate. The principles of the fraternity are in conflict with the system whereby most, if not all, great fortunes have been accumulated.
You may have heard said of a brother that he might have won riches had he devoted less thought and energy to Masonry and more to his business or profession.
Masonry is a means to spiritual wealth and offers nothing in the way of spiritual reward. Masonry is intended to take man's mind away from the temporal things and to prepare his soul for happiness eternal. Masonry offers something better
Within the tiled doors of a Masonic lodge, peace and concord reign. The storms without can find no lodgement within.
NEGRO BUSINESS MEN MUST MEASURE UP TO STANDARD
Negro Business League Weekly Letter By J. C. Lindsay
"Diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord" is a scriptual injunction which has stood the acid test of time, ages upon ages, and not only is it serving the present age to a wonderfully great purpose, where it is religiously adhered to, but is destined to serve, perfectly well, generations yet unborn.
The Negro Business League, in its weekly letter for several years, has put forth its best endeavors to impress the people with money in hand to spend, to at least give their own kith and kin a trial. Many of the business and professional men and women have seen fit to commend the writer for what he has tried to do along this line. An old qualit' philosophy handed down to us from the fathers, runs thus: "what's good for the goose should be good for the gandet." We are trying to say by this, in as much as we have gone out of the way in many of our previous letters to admonish, advise and plead with the people to do business and trade with the men and women of the race engaged in business, we feel only fair and right that we now take some time and use some space in trying to have our people who may be engaged in business, see the importance of measuring up to that standard set by the men and women engaged in business of the other races.
Why should the Negro restaurant keeper expect a decent man or woman who is able and willing to pay for first class service, to come into his place, yea, dive, to be seated at an old broken down table, covered with an old greasy worn-out cloth, or an old soiled colored table cloth with a swarm of files buzzing over his or her head, and have to sit under such unfavorable conditions, some times for fifteen and twenty minutes, before an impolite, impatient person takes a notion to sullenly comes around ar asks them "what you want?" Then, after this in some places, one's punishment has just begun. For during the next fifteen or twenty minutes you are forced to wait, you may see things going on in the preparation of the order given, which added to the scene already described, destroys your appetite for the anticipated meal, and especially is this true, when you take into account the rusty knives and
forks and cracked dishes placed before you. These, in some places, are actual conditions, truthfully and honestly described, in absolute good faith for the sole purpose of causing our people engaged in this class of business, which must go on as long as time lasts, to wake up and look around and see what it is that takes so many dollars from their places to the Greek, who serves his customers on sanitary marble tables, with sanitary paper napkins, clean bright silver and china and quick, intelligent service.
This is an age of survival of the fittest. The man who would build up a paying business, matters not by what name it may be called, must put into that business brains and intelligent service. The time has passed, if it ever was, when members of the race would trade with each other and by so doing, build up large permanent enterprises, where deserving young men and women of the race could find profitable employment, where they, as patrons and customers had a feeling at all times that they were not getting their money's worth.
The careless, indolent, grouchy, ignorant ones among us, who are losing time and wasting what little they, or some one else has managed to get together in trying to keep open a place, know but little, and prehaps care less, just how much injury they do the race, by their operations, which can mean nothing more nor less in the long run, but discredit and failure.
It takes no philosopher to see by what standart we are measured, when the other fellow has to do the measuring, which seems to always be his job. He never feels called upon to measure the race by the high standard set by Booker T. Washington who built the greatest industrial educational center in the world, nor by W. E. B. WuBols, Kelly Miller. Wm. Pickens, nor any of that school of literary giants; nor does he measure us from a business standpoint, by the high standard set by that Negro wizard, who built by systematic planning, hard work, integrity and politeness, the finest and biggest barbershop in the world, out of whom grew the biggest industrial insurance company, operated by the race in this country; we refer to A. F. Herndon. There are many other great men and women of the race, who, in their special line, have set the standard for the race very high indeed, but unfortunate for us, the other fellow, who seems to have the job of doing the measuring for them, or thrush his own willfulness never knew them. Therefore, when he puts the measure or standard up to the race, he usually finds the failures in every line and points them out to us and to the world as the best possibilities of the race. For this reason, one can see at a glance, how important it is for us as
a race, to do our level best in what ever matter we are engaged, whether it be in the professions, business, street sweeping, ditch-digging, or any other of the many what-nots, let's do it so well that the other fellow who does the measuring will feel ashamed of himself not to give us full credit of measuring up to the standard of men, who at least, do things right.
We want our enterprises conducted in such a way, that no man will pass along the streets and point them out as Negro places, because of the slovenly way they are kept. No stranger, who passes along Peachstree street in Atlanta, without having been told in advance, that the barber shop he sees running from street to street with thirty odd chairs, with as many high class tonsorial artists, with out one piece of wood to be seen anywhere from floor to ceiling, would think for one moment that such property belonged to a Negro man, unless such a person had learned to know the possibilities of the Negro.
The introducing of the Negro to the Negro, as well as to the other fellow, is really the work of the Negro Business League, national, state-wide or local. We must know each other, encourage each other and in good faith, tell of our weak points as well as of our strong points. Let us come out with facts and thereby strengthen one another on those points where strength and encouragement are most needed.

The great number of people, all

the xrand jury empanellel to investi-
fate the East St, Louls riots.
The grand jury arralgned Mayor
Mollman for “his dilatoriness” and
recommended that he be removed from
vttice. In its findings, the jury said,
“Mayor Mbitman mast be judged by
his actions as proven by the evidence.

and to depntize citizens who offered
their services, were the result of a
lack of ability or of fright, the ottice

THE TRAGEDY OF SPEEDING
The ever-recurring automobile trage-
dy, so commen recently on the county
highways,s nearly always assignable
to reckless driving, the man at the
wheel ofteatimes being incited fo his
hazard by too much liquor.
There fs certainty no rpeénelling
whiskey-lrinking and — auto-driving
The two practices are simply incom-
patible; do not go together. ‘The aw-
ful truth of it is impressed so often
hy the ruthless destruction of life and
limb such as we had on the road
one night last week and several times
prior to that occurrence. Recently, a
young woman in a ride of revelry, was
killed ‘when. the car in which she was
riding, driven by a drink-crazed man,
swung too far out of the road. We
should all be a great deal better ‘off,
if the laws forbade riding above a
certain fixed, reasonable rate of speed
on the bighways_as in the cities. It
would be a good thing if stich ‘aie
ariving could be enforeed. It would
Be less perilous for korse drawn and
other vehicles and pedestrians. As it
is now, a’ great many slow vehicles
and pedestrians are put to the incon-
venience of avoiding eertain much-
travelled roads. This should not be.
| Owners of automobiles and drivers of
them are specially urged to exercise
more caution and circumspection both
tewn and out, and to be content
in a fair rate of speed:at all times,
in the Interest of-human life and limb
and happiness.
‘We kiow a great many who need
this word of warning and reminder,
end we urge them again to he careful.
‘With ay, automobile, “it happens” so
castty and sa quickly, one car scarcely
tell how it dld happen.
. YOUNG PEOPLE: EXLIST -
It weuld“be very much brighter for
the prospects of our ‘peoplé ‘along all
dines, in this city arid elsewheré; if
more of the young"inen and womed
were enlisted in thé cause of civic and
social movements, It is as unfortunate
‘as it 1s conspicuous that the great
‘possibilities for informing, organizing
and directing our people, which the
younger men and women possess, be-
cause of their better training, their
greater energy and vigor and their
_keener grasp of conditions, are not be-
ing applied in the interest of racial
_ndyaucement,
| This inertia, this indifference, this
‘apathy among the younger people is
; manifest in many places, but it is par-
|ticularly characteristic of the young
men and women of our city, The
‘churches seem to have lost hold on
them; they are not found identified
with the chiaritable and social uplift
‘ organizations here in any great extent;
few" have gone into business except
through accident or necessity. They
‘appear to have no vision of altruism,
no interest or concern with the trivail
and struggle of the people generally;
they are not particularly displeased or
uffected by racial calamities and set-
backs; they find no joy or enthusiasm
in race’ success and achievement.
; They live largely insthe.present, and
selfishly; they are not-Jonely,.for they
are many, weds. oe
| “There are those- who-are In public
position of ove s&rt\and another,
who would be expected to be deep-
ly interested in the people, because
they are competent to see and capable
‘of helping, but reflection discloses that
few of these have any interest outside
their particular spheres of necessary
duty. ”
We should point out to these the
great need for their services In the in-
terest of race advancement We
|would) call their attention-tu the cuit-
eat period “through ‘whieh* tht nation
'is passing; we would remind them to
strengthen and prepare to meet the
‘changed conditions which are to furn-
ish the aftermath of world war. ,There
are great things they’ may do; great
things they must do,—for themselves
and for others.
'¢ We who feel the burden and tra-
vaill of our own people; we who have
the full vision of (the grave responsi-
bility and the untold possibilities of
the coming decade, urge upon our
young people to awake, arise and ac-
cept the mantie of duty which already
Is theirs and awaits them. We ad-
jure them to “ponder these things in
their hearts.” *
THE BUSINESS May's STRYGCHE
‘Time and éxperience uit: that,
fn business as in every human” exper-
fence “honesty ,{s the best policy.’"
(ireat numbers of Negro businesses are
being born each year to be managed
and conducted mostly by Inexperienc-
ed persons, because our forbears. have
had Uttle opportunity to bring up their
childréh in the factory, in the bank,
in the store. We have to learn our
Uttle out of-observation while in the
capacity of ne: sing others in business.
We are beginning to develop big busi-
ness, in many eases involving the wide
ramifications of commercial _ inter-
course hitherto unknown to us. We
are seeing and feeling the stern hand
,of competition and trading in the
markets and exchanges. Surely, “the
old order changeth.”
. Early in our career in busiuess our
organizations and enterprises lacked
capital suiticient to put them on a firm
basis of competition and the promoters
and managers lacked the business sa-
‘gacity and commercial temper of their
competitors... As a rule, too, ‘we lacked
the vision of patience to await the
normal and regultr rise and growth of
enterprise. We did not know the his
tory of the struggle of the great enter.
petvex and industries of the warlt We
; wished to ree things grow up mush-
Joom-like, in a night. Here we were
; doomed to be disappointed, in many
cases discouraged and, sometimes,
| unfortunately, unscrupulous. Our pa-
Htrons, while not wholly justified in
thelr native prejudices, were, some
what warranted: in the conclusion that
iS could not compere—could not give
«back full yalue received. Here, then;
js- where “the strand became strewn
With the wrecks of the early attempts
of Negroes to do business.
| Merebants and patrons, happily, be
gan fo study business, Its resources,
tts dependency and development, and
thus paved the way for giving strug:
wing enterprises a full chance. Bust-
ness confidenee grew and a pride in
the game struggle of the Negro bus!-
ness man began to show Itself—and
from then en, we began to reach the
goal of full suecess.
| Nogro businesses, today, are predi-
cated upon the same cemmercial prin-
ciptes as the businesses of other peo-
ple. An classes of business among us
are Aware that they must compete—
that there is no sentiment of race in
bosiness—that efficiency And values
count most or all. *
Our businesses must be kept clean
and free of graft and injustice, Pair
and Qonest, dealing, with the clientele
must bé rigidly observed. Mutua? con-
fidence, Sespect ant justice, wi
proper ‘regard for official relationship,
mush be maintained among the pro,
moters und directors, where partner-
ship or corporate relatidas exist. On
no other’ foundations can great, suc-
cessful enterprises bé builded.
We are demonstrating these prittc!-
ples in the successful enterprises we
have developed. ‘The recent Negro
Business League session disclosed a
growing number of Negro businesses
all over the South and North, of every
variety almost, but all founded on the
operation of good business principles
and a growing confidence among the
Negro patronage and clientele.
Right lftre in Savannah, we have a
half dozen sound businesses, which
have been built from the ground up,—
Duilt because the promoters had pa-
tlenca and vision—successful because
the public was receptive and open te
conviction.
Let us have more, and still more.
Let ug organize to husband and “turn-
over” among ourselves, the thousands
of dollars which Negroes spend each
‘day, each week. Years hence, we will
wonder at our own stupidity and
shortsightedness of today. There are
& great many small businesses requir-
ing Uttle capital which Negroes would
support, alone, which should have al-
ready taken their places among those
already on West Broad street and else
where.
Let the young men wake up and get
to work at organizing to meet these
demands, for St is business and com-
mercial and financial strength which
commands racial respect ‘There 1s
nothing’ to be lost by facing the plau
of competition, arranging and plan-
ning to “turn-over” more of our money
within the race—and there is every-
thing to be gained, -
‘There ie a commercial strugsle of
the races, just as surely as there is a
social and political struggle, and un-
Jess we develop a respectable industrial
and financi! rating, the basis of the
social and pohtical strugie will be
little more than thin air:
MISGUIDED MEN
The navional government, sensibly
and :magnapimously, rises to a. high
sense of its duty when it mobilizes
its troops, Negroes as well as whites,
as it had originally plamied to do.
Upon reflection, now that the little
storm of protest from demagogues and
Negro-phobians has abated, it would
have seemed past riduculous and fool-
ish if the government had allowed it-
self to be trifled with or. turned aside
by these misanthropes,
‘$Me average man proceeds along in
the way of life and human experiences
adapting and accustoming himself to
‘a great many things which are inordi-
nate and unnatural. The omunipres-
ence of color prejudice and race hatred
wil niake a man of one <lass or race
develop a feeling of superiority, while
‘into another is bred the feeling of In-
feriority. The former arrogutes and
‘appropriates to himself‘ full sway: and
dominition over things; the fatter uc-
dieses and Yesigns himselt to what
is assigned. Both grow “set” and cal
)jous in attitude and condition.
* §o it is with individuals, institu-
tions and governments, at times, under
stress of prejudiced influences. Indl-
viduals have committed all sorts 0!
wrongs; institutions bave acted tn-
consistently from a false conception of
‘duty or expediency; and governments
have temporized and indulged.
‘The institution of prejudice is built
on 2 fadse conception of buman ant
social yalues and standards, Becausé
of this it exhibits many vagaries and
* inconsistencies,
- ‘The nation is calling the. Negro tc
the colors, to shoulder arms and tc
endure the horrors of the most brutal
ized warfare of all times; to die fo!
a fiction called Democraey. The Ne
gro soldier all but knows that, though
he wins or helps to win the war, he
can knoy no real freedom when he
returns ‘home. Already - there aré
‘countless proposals and preparation:
‘being made in the military schedule
to deal with him “specially"—as. 2

government seems to “be in the air”
' as to,what to,do with the Negro con

numbers.
Against all this. the Negro has served

|, According to the statgment eminat
ing froth the War wepartment Mon-
day thie Negro troops of the National
Army will be organized in separate
units, as ig done in the regular army.
Jand as far as possible will bé trained
in the states where they are raised.
Both white and colored mien“of the
selective forces will be given an op-
portunity to yolunteer to battalions for
service on the lue of»commantcatton,
‘This will permit the use of men of tech-
nical knowledge, engineering, and care
of supplies and animal}, etc, for
other than actual fighting.
Yn.all the army in France will need,
according to estimates by experts, more
than 100,00 men bebind the lines for
used along the roads and railway as
iudicated above. A great many battal-
fons of both white and colored troops
will be necessary for thase purposes
‘and the War Department feels ccriain
‘that many of the Negroes of the se-
lective draft forces will volunteer for
that extra-milltary duty in order to
be sent quickly to France.
Assurance is given, however, that
there will also be Negro fighting regi-
ments of the National Army, organ-
Izedt and utilized exactly as those of
the regulars and the National Guard.

‘Lesson X.—Third. Quarter, Foi
| > Sept. 2, 1917 .
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
ec of the Lesson, Ezek. xxxiv, 11-16
23-27-—Memory Verse, 12— Golder
Text, Ps. xxiii, 1—Commentary Pre-
‘pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
' A better title for this lesson rather
than the one given would be “The
Shepherd of a Restored Israel,” for tt
fg the record of a time yet future when
they shall never again’ be a prey to
the nations (verses 27-31), when the
King of Israel, the Lord, shall be in
the midst of them and they shall not
see evil any more (Zeph. ili, 14, 15).
Then shall the twelve tries be one
nation in their own land, and one King
shall be King to them all, and they
shalnever again be divided into two
kingdoms, and God shall make with
them an everlasting coveuant of peace
and dwell in their midst forevermore
@zek. xxvii, 15-28). There are still
those who say ‘and teach that God ts
done with Israel as a nation because
of all their sins, but such people must
be wholly deaf to the words of the
Lord in, Jer. xxxl, 35-37; xxxill, 23-26,
where He says that until sun, moon
and stars cease to shine He will never
east off His people Israel, notwith-
standing all that they have done. The
teatimony of the Spirit through Paul is
just the same In Rom. xi, 1,.2, 25-27.
They are the only nation that God ever
chose specially for Himself and called
the everlasting nation (which is the lit.
eral translation of two Hebrew words
in Isa. xiv, 7, given in the A. V. as
the ancient people). They will be the
first righteous uation on earth, and
then will many nations be joined to
the Lord and the earth be filled with
His glory (Isa. Ix, 1-3, 21, 22; xxvil, 6;
Zech, if, 10-13). Our lesson is one of
the greatest shepherd chapters ip the
Old Testament, but Jer. xxill is anoth-
er, and there we read that when the |
King, the Righteous Branch, shall bare
been raised up unto David the deliver-
ance of Israel from all nations will be
so great-and wonderful that their com-
ing out of Egspt shall not seem ans-
thing to be compared with it (Jer. xxill,
38). The title “Shepherd of Israel”
takes us back to Gen. xlix, 24, and on
to Ps. Ixxx, 1. and Isa. xl, 11, and Rev.
vil, 17, and only in the glorious future
will our precious Ps. xxifl have its
complete fulfillment.
Many cannot see in the Iesson of to-
day anything more than the Good Shep-
herd who saves us as Individuals and
reeps us and cares for us in every way
and carries us in His arms and on His
shoulders; the Great Shepherd who lives |
iis life in us and the Chfef Shepherd
who will reward us at His appearing
(John x; Heb. xii!; I Pet. v), and we
must see and know Him as such before
we can see and know Him as the future
Shepherd of Israel. It is strange, in-
Jeed, that so many believers, truly
saved people, have no heart for the
things of His kingdom; so many preach-
era take no Interest In Dantel or Reve~
jation or any prophecy, and as oie re-
rently sald, “If I can get my people
zaved and safely to heaven I do not
need to bother with the things of Dan-
tel and Revelation, which I cannot un-
derstand.” Is it not a possibility that
to such our Lord might say what He
said to the two on the way to Emmaus,
"O fools, and slow of heart, to belleve
all that the prophets have spoken!”
(Luke xxiv, 25.)
In the days of Jeremiah and Ezekiel
there were those who were more inter-
ested in the welfare of themselves than
of others, who ran without being sent
by the Lord, who spoke lies out of the
deceit of their own hearts and caused
the people to err-by their lies and thelr
lightness (Ezek. xxxiv, 2, 8, 10; Jer.
xxiii, 16, 17, 21, 25, 26, 32). It is pos-
sible that there are still such false
prophets, and the Lord will reckon with
them in due time, for He is against |
them, and the reckouiug will be a very |
serious matter for them, Every true
prophet or teacher should be the Lord's
messenger with the Lord’s message, and
His word to them is, “Hear the word of
the Lor], hear the word at My mouth
and give'them warning from me” (Hag.
1, 13; Ezek. xxxiv, 7, 9; lil, 4, 17). To,
all such the comfort is that His word
will never fafl to accomplish His pleas-
ure, and He, will watch over it to per
form it (Isa, lv, 11; Jer. 1, 12, R. V.).
Let us always remember that, while
In all the Bible there are words for
each individual heart, when God says
Isracl He means Israel, the descendants
of Jacob, who was called Israel, and
hot the church, and I have not yet

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lessoh, Dan. iii, 16-27.
Memory Verses, 17, 18—Golden Text,
Isa. xliii, 2—Commentary Prepared by
Rev. D. M. Stearns.
We shall not understand this third chapter of Daniel unless we have grasped in some measure the second chapter. The Bible must be studied as a whole, and each book as a whole, and yet each as an essential part of the whole revelation of God's eternal purpose by His Spirit. As the heavenly bodies of our solar system and all the systems in the universe move in circles, so is it also with God's heavenly truths. The last two chapters in the Bible complete the circle, which begins with the first two, telling of this earth without sin or sorrow or death. The third chapter from the end (Rev. xx) completes the circle which began with Gen. iii, telling of the great adversary, his beginning in relation to the earth and man and his end.
We have seen in recent lessons that we have come in the Bible story to the beginning of what is known as the times of the gentiles, but this book of Daniel covers the whole period and tells us of the end of those times, which we are now in the history of the world approaching or are already in.
In chapter il we have God's revelation to Nebuchadnezzar of the whole period which began with Him and will end with the setting up of the kingdom of heaven after the times of the gentiles, a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, but shall stand forever, and these things are certain and sure (Dan. II, 44, 45). In chapter vill we have the same period covered in a vision given to Daniel and ending in the same consumption (Dan. vill, 13, 14, 27). To a man of the world like Nebuchadnezzar the lision was fascinating, as are the things represented by gold and silver and brass and iron to such people, but to a man of God like Daniel the whole thing was represented by wild beasts devouring each other. Chapters ill and vi are another pair showing what it costs to stand for God in these evil times, while chapters iv and v are another pair showing how God will humble all pride, to bring to repentance if at all possible or, if not, to bring to everlasting punishment.
The vision of empire given to Nebushadnezzar so affected him that instead of making him humble by the honor thus conferred upon him by the God of heaven he became filled with pride and had a great image of gold made and set up in the plain of Dura and caused all the people of his kingdom to assemble to worship it, threatening with death in the fiery furnace any who would dare to refuse to worship the image which he had set up. Now here is another strange circle of truth, for at the very end of the times of the gentiles during the last three and q half years after the church has been taken away there will be another image set up by the world power that shall then be, and all who will not worship that image shall be killed (Rev. xiii, 14-18). The pride and blasphemy of the king of Babylon are seen in such a saying as "Who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?" (lil, 15.) But it will be exceeded by the blasphemy of the antichrist of the last days before he shall be sent alive to the lake of fire (lev. xiii and xix, 19, 20). Of all the multitudes who were assembled on the plain of Dura that day only three young Jews dared to refuse to bow down to the image, and that was because they knew and worshiped the only Living and True God. When offered a second opportunity to bow down and thus spare their lives they most decidedly refused in the glorious words of verses 17, 18. May our hearts ever cry, "Our God whom we serve is able."
Bound in their clothing they were cast into the burning fiery furnace, which had been heated seven times hotter than usual, so that the flames slew the men who cast them in. But the three young men walked about in the furnace, unharmed, because the Son, of God was with them, and they lost nothing but their bonds. I do most heartily believe what the king's counselors and great men saw when these three came out of the furnace—that there was no smell of fire upon them, nor was a hair of their head slung (verse 27). So it will be in the last days when some shall refuse to receive the mark of the beast or worship him (Rev. xv). See in verses 2S-30 of our lesson how God was glorified in these men by the decree of the king that no one should dare to speak anything amiss against a God who could deliver in this way.
The olly place where God was seen that day was in the burning fiery furnace, and when God allows any of His people to pass through fiery trials of any kind it is that He may be seen with us and in us, and He will fulfill the words of our Golden Text. In chapter IV we see this proud king humiliated, and the last word in his worldwide epistle is "Those that walk an pride He is able to abase" (iv, 37). We would do well to adopt as our own the words of Paul in II Tim. iv, 18, "The Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom." We should remember also that it is the purpose of the Lord to stain the pride of all glory and bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth that the Lord alone may be exalted (Isa. xxill 9; ii. 11, 17).

During the absence of Rev. Wright the pulpit is being filled by Rev. Green. On Sunday morning he read for the lesson Ps 1., his text was from Heb. 12:29. At night Lic. Seabrooks read the 23rd Psalm. Rev. Green's text was taken from Ezek. 10:14. The Junior and Senior B. Y. P. U held very interesting services. The junior B. Y. P. U. is arranging for its annual exercise.
