Superintendent Gibson had advocated the plan, known the country over the 6353 plan of public edneation. embracing six years of fundamental grammar scliool instruction, three years of junior high sclivol work, and three years of senior high school, with man- nal training and domestic science em- braced in the two divisions of the high school. * * As we indicated, when the plan was first submitted, this plan wonld be en- tirely satisfactory if inaugurated with- in a reasonuble time. In connection herewith. is published a letter dated September Sth, from the National Assoriation for the Advance- ment of Colored People, to the Roard - and Superintendent, in which the wish- es of the colored people of Savannah are outlined. The reply of the Board, through Supt. Gibson, of its disposi- tion of the petition is slg published, There ix every reason why — there ‘should he the same adyantazes of pub- Ne education offered the Negroes of : Savannah as is provided for the whites, incluling high schools.” The reasons, commonly urged that Nezroes pay <o small 2 portion of the taxes from which the school fund is derived, has Tong ago been dispelie. Nezrves do pay suilicient of the taxes. and if they did not, that would he no reason fr negligence and retrench- ment as regards edueatlonal provisfons for then. It would he rather wm add- ed argument in favor of it. Subjects and citizens of the state are educated by the state as nmch, if not more, for the benefit of the state as for their own advantage and <o0?, ‘The education of its youth is one of the common investments of every. pro- zressive state, and must not be look- ed on purely as a favor and a Denelit of free government. The inanzuration ef ninth grade <tndy at the Custer Street schoul, may mean a step in the direction of a yell ordered high school system for Negroes in Savannah, if the plans of the Sup- crintendent are to prevail, We hope it does. We are_ansious. however, Test un- der the conditions surrounding — the "new venture, the Iigh Sehool idea, ac cording tos real high school principles and methods, may he subordinated, de- Taxed or oven defeated. Tigh schon work can best be done wilder distinct: management and sepa- rate provision, bnt it can be reson: ably well done under present condt- tiviis if there is a definite vinderstand- ing of its nature and relationship to the other part of the work at Cuyler snd if it shall be, from the outset, re- ssirded as a separate and distinet de- partment. We trust that this js the - view of the Superintendent, and that as far as can be under the conditions the work will take that course. ‘The plan, as We see it, presumes that the Board of Education is willing to «rant Negroes a somewhat higher zradc of instrnetion than mere stammat school work, but that, at present, it i anable to famish a building for the Ligh school and provide teachers. 1 this he the case, we should at one commence to designate and rezard rhe work as a high school and thus, per laps. hasten the day when the “ful work may he realized and enjoyed. We repeat. we hope the plan ma) not be confased and defeated by the vers conditions arid circumstances "under which it has arisen, Dut thi ‘ neat year the other grades sith teach "ers may be established and the wort tet up as Cuyler or in another build ing as a separate and distinct work. ‘The failure of the Board to restor the seventh and efghth grades at Wes }troad. Maple and East Broad schools BEL TERE OF SNE eSe eee See venience and ,poor discipline are still to be urged against the present plan, und could be even with the high school suevessfully In operation, We hope that the Board may yet see the inconsistency and Hogicality of the present plan and remedy the trouble in the natural way. The complete grammar school course, whatever it be, should be done at the same plant, and provision should be made to that end. ‘The Board of Education is composed of men—men friendly toward and con- siderate of the needs and rights of our people, and we believe they will do what is right. “September §, 1917 “To the Honorable Members of the | Toard of Education of Savannah snd Chatham County, and the Superin- tenmut of Public Scholls, Savannah, Ga. . “Dear Sirs? + | whe Savannah Trauch of the Na- tional Asso for the Advancement of Colurcd People at large, respectfully bes Ieave to petition you as fellows: Perhat the <eventh and cizhth grades he restored to the courses of study at Maple street, East Tread Steet and West Broad Street schools, fur the fol- lowing reasons: > “1.

Seeretury of War to advise as to the ‘affairs of the 12,000,00 colored cltl- zens in the United States, is received with the greatest. enthusiasm by the Negro race throughout the country. ‘The universal verdict is that no better cholce-could haye been made, and the designation of Mr. Scott at this tkme to 2 post of responsibility scarcelly less than that of a cabinet official, goes far toward satisfying the public mind that the administration warmly appreciates the patriotisin of the colored Ameri- can and is anxious to have his relation. ship with the War Department as cor- dial and confidential us it is possible for human agencies to make it. From every section of the land have come telegrams, letters and other messages to Secretary of War Baker thanking him for the broad cencrosity that prompted him to name Mr. Seott for this disnitied aud important mission pnd assuring him that the race so faith- fully represented by his special advisor ‘would strive more dilizently than ever to do its full duty by the nation in its struggle for liherty and democ- racy. Mr. Neott has likewise been “Headed with congratulations from every source snd all have joined in expres ing confidence in his ability to speak for lis yeante at AN times iu the wisest and nukt peactioal way. it is the consensus of opiton that the destena- tion of Mr, Scott is ths highest hunor that has yet come to the Nezre people ot this Cgintiss and it Is of special sighiffeance that it iS bestowed by an adiwinistration with which the colored people have uot been largely identified politically ‘The appointment, there- fore, rises above the realm of politics and takes on 2 Scope that ix internar- fonal and wields ut influence that reaches and stirs all humanity.

Mr. Scott’s memorandum wits ‘compreheustve and complete, no point of vital interest being” left untouched. To this recital Secretary Baker listened with the elosest attention, and there is every reason to believe that from the excellent impression made by Mr. Scott's well-tempered and yet plain jand unyarnished statement of facts the jrace will reap golden results, During the week Mr. Scott has had an op [portunity to meet and talk will mans Washingtonians of ‘all clases” and all have commended the department for ‘choowing so capable and acceptable ‘member of the race for this work and tendering assurances of «upport bs suggestions, individual co-operation and substantial assietance when called upon to serve. It is understood that Mr. Scott will have offices In the War De partment and will be in continuou: (oy with the hieh officials of the milk Developments will be given to the press from time to time, as it will be the pol- ley of the Department to take the peo- ple fully intu Its confidence in every mutter that can be safely given pub- licity. ‘This week Mr, Scott-goes to Fort Des Moines, Ia., to represent the War Department at the graduating ex- ercises of the Utlicers’ Reserve Camp at that place. His message will be an in- spiring one and that,he will be given a royal reception by our future field mar- shals goes without the saying. While in ‘Washington, Mr. Scott will make his home with Dr. and Mrs. A, M, Curtis, 1939 13th street, northwest, To Continue as Sec'y of Tuskegee In answer to numerous queries, it can Be stated that Mr. Scott will-con- tinue as secretary of Tuskege Insti- tute, He will anake periodical trips to the schuol to look after its manifold aYairs. It is an open seeret that the trustees of Tuskegee Institute, with the active and insistent approval of Dr. Robert Russa Morton, have “donated” Mr, Scott's services, to the nation and race as a part of their “bit” toward winning the war, ‘They have recos- ized the moral responsibility resting upon a ‘school of the scope and magni- tude of ‘Tuskegee and with prafse- worthy usefulness and bread punile spirit they ¢onsider the activities and snes labors of Mr. Scott at the nation’s capitol as ancthor of the vital extension movements of the Institute. looking toward fhe civig and economic uplift of the Negra race. It will be temembercd that Myr Scott wats the first mn to plede the patriotixm of the race when Mexican hostilities threaten ed and when rimors gained currency that the Negro mikht prove disloyal to his natice Land. His prompt and Vigarous assurance of the Negro's featly to the fla and his immediate “atfer to raise 100,000 Nero volunteers ‘for the defense of the nation set at rest the tatse rumor, Through Mr. Scott jand Dr. Moton also came a tender of the grounds and buildings of Tuskegee ax a training camp for Negro officers when the problem of.a suitable loca- tion for such a camp was up for set- tlement. It is perfectly natural, there- fore, when a counsellor was fo be sought, that the honor should go to a ‘Tuskegeean, Emmett J. Seott—The Man; Tmmett J. Scott is uo stranger to an American audience of any race. For clzhtcen years he went up and down the country, with, Dr. Booker T.

Tis lifeXtory is interwoven so closely with the growth of Tuskegee that he fs an essentin] clement of its warp and woof. Tle has heen the pivot upon which the countless enterprises fostered by this remarkable school hace revolved. Modest and unassuming, he has been content to do lis work, oftimes in a corner, claiming no credit for himself— content that good should come to the cause in which he was enlisted, As a journalist he has shown rare quall- ‘ties in connection with the editorship ‘of the Tnckegee Student and the Tus kexeo Farmer.

I KILLED IT GOSH PA THAT'S FUNNY IT MUST HAVE LEGS YOU'RE TOO ROUGH SIMON- I WONDER WHERE THE STATUTE IS GONE Among The Masons "Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fall." The writer knows of a recent incident wherein a member of a lodge borrowed $15 from a candidate the morning after he received his last degree and which amount has not been returned. The result is that the brother is very much disgusted and blames the fraternity which is remiss in not disciplining the brother who borrowed the money.—Illinois Freemason. What We Ask In a lodge room we do not ask a man who his father was; we simply inquire what he is. We do not ask him what his father has done; we simply ask him if he is ready to do the work that falls to him. We do not ask him whether he has received a diploma from some institution of learning; we simply ask him if he has studied the science of How to Live, if he recognizes the ties that bind him to mankind. We don not ask him how much land he possesses; we ask him whether he is possessed of the spirit of brotherhood. The lodge room help to draw us together; it helps to unify the world.—Selected. Masonry Oh! would God that men could see as I see, that grand and noble mystic band of brethren marching down the corridor of time for three thousand years, whose herald proclaimed truth a divine attribute, and the foundation of every virtue. Their road made bright by the brilliant torches of the liberal arts and sciences, having boldly inscribed on their banners, "The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." From every age, clime and nation the great and good have come to join this noble band singing songs of praise in many tongues and offering up their incense of a pure and contrite heart to the great God and Father of them all. In this sacred presence, confining creed and dogmas crumble into dust, and barriers of wealth, birth or station give way, so that brother might grip the hand of brother with joy unseakable. Neither wealth, birth or station give the right to a place in the rank of this mighty host. It is only he whose trust is in God, and comes well recommended that can gain a place in this noble company of manly men. Never has the cry of pain been wrung by torture from the victim to retard the onward march of this grand and magnificent host. Opposed at all times to oppression. Forever the foe to that tyranny that degrades and crushes a brother man, making his the servil of another. No fagot has ever been lit at the martyr's feet, nor quenched the fires of freedom with a patriot's blood. Uniting the good and true of all nations upon the common level of loyalty to its great principles, it has always been an army of builders. Ituin and devastation never follow in the wake of this grand army, but peace and prosperity brings success. As a constitutional force, it lays deep and broad the foundation of human life, insuring lasting peace and happiness to all people. Until today Masonry stands without a peer. Born in the cradle of liberty headed by the father of his country and his noble compatriots, Masonry in America has ever been the benefactor and helper. Abiding peace and prosperity have ever followed its teachings. The just cause has never made an appeal to Masonry in vain. Ever the friend of free churches, free schools, and a staunch lover of liberty, till today, Masonry stands boldly for— "The wrong that needs resistance The cause that lacks assistance, For the glorious future in the distance And the great good she may do." True Masonry is unalterable opposed to humbug and deception, always and everywhere. "Sincerity and plain dealing distinguish us."—Selected. Remember the Widows One thing that has been sadly neglected in Masonic circles is consideration for the relief of a deceased Mason. In life the brother's wife and family are accorded much entertainment and many good times. The rule and regulations of Masonry apply the same treatment to widows and orphans as wives and children. True, when a member of a Masonic body passes away his name is taken from the roll, yet it would be a most commendable if not charitable act if each secretary was instructed by the presiding officer to keep a list of those left behind. An invitation or a greeting sent to a widow or an orphan would show that they had not been forgotten and that Masonry does not die with the Mason.—Masonic Tre-tle Board. Thousand Years of Masonry The history of Masonry has been interwoven with that of the growth of nations until now it has been established in more than thirty-nine different countries.

It is estimated that there are over 600 secret fraternal and beneficial societies in the United States, and it is acknowledged that Masonry heads the list in antiquity and influence. To Become Handmaids of the Most Pure Heart of Mary St. Benedict's church was the scene of a beautiful and inspiring ceremony on Sunday last, when five young postulants who had completed the probationary perior were judged fit by their piety, exemplary obedience, and every evidence of a tru religious vocation, to receive the holy habit and the white veil of the congregation. The ceremony took place in the evening. The churchwas thronged with the friends of Rev. Ig. Lissnes and the young aspirants to the religious life. A number of different communities honored the occasion with their presence. The young postulants robed as brides entered the church in procession attended by their Mother Superior. They are a splendid set of young ladies, deeply imbued with the spirit of the religious life, and ready for the sacrifice it demands. Rev. Ig. Lissner delivered an eloquent and touching sermon, speaking of the beauty and glory of the religious life and the virtues which should distinguish those who are called to be the spouse of Christ, and whose privilege it will be "to follow the Lamb withersooever He goeth." Father Lissner spoke of the sacrifices which the religious life demands and the fidelity of the spouse of Jesus Christ. He bestowed the holy habit and white vell of the congregation upon the following young ladies: Miss Mary Rose Watson, of Beach Island, Ga., in religion Sister Mary Ignati Miss Cecella Lillan Forrest og Cinn, O., in religion Sister Mary Theresa of the Holy Child"; Miss Mary Louise Mahoney of Atlanta, in religion Sister Mary Franis "of Assisi"; Miss Mary Angelia Autumus, of Alken, S. C., in religion Sister Mary Benedict, "the Moor"; Miss Ellzabeth Veronica Neal of Macon, in religion Sister Mary Josephine "of the Angels." The young novices, retiring soon, returned to the church, divested of their bridal robes and wearing the sombre black garb. The inspiring and solemn ceremony closed, with solemn benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. AT THE Y. M. C. A. The meting last Sunday was as usual, very interesting and full of ginger. The address of Prof. W. P. Tucker on "Y. M. C. A. work at home and in the Army" had a good effect. At the conclusion of his address a resolution was adopted for the immediate launching of a campaign for 1,000 members. This was immediately done and resulted in the joining of all the men who were present and whose names were not already enrolled. The singing of the Pilgrim quartette was in a class by itself. It received several encores. Tomorrow will be known as Patriotic Day. The following is the program: Selection, Y. M. C. A. Quartette. Address, "What we Owe Our Soldier Boys" E. W. Sherman.

Saturday, October 13, 1917 JUDGE ADAMS' RESIGNATION The resignation this week of Judge Samuel B. Adams as president and member of the Board of Education removed from that body one who has served the community in the very highest and most acceptable manner. Judge Adams has shown himself, whenever the occasion presented itself, to be a man of unusual broad and unbiased views. He sought to serve the entire community and as a result he has ingratiated himself into the hearts of the people of Savannah as few men have done. He has proven himself at all times to be friend to white and black alike and if there is any particular class of citizens who regret his resignation from the Board it is the Negro. He is one of the few leading white men of the community who has been not only outspoken in matters pertaining to the education of the Negro but he has never lost an opportunity to publicly decor any undue advantage which has been taken of the Negro along other lines. In a word, he has proven himself on all occasions to be a big hearted, Christian gentleman and his resignation is truly a source of deep regret to every Negro in this community. WINNING OUR WISHES Because of the warmth and cordiality with which they were entertained by the citizens of Savannah last week the fifty or more colored men who left for the training camp at Camp Gordon went away light hearted, high spirited and with a proper conception and realization of the meaning of their going. They had been in a quandary of opinion and observation about it before the Citizens' Committee laid open the proposition in its broader aspects of duty and privilege. They now, doubtless, fully realize that they enjoy a rare privilege and distinction to be called to arms at this grave moment. Sensible and far-seeing men, the country over, are beginning to see that the supreme question of racial status and opportunity probably hinges on the conduct of Negro men in this crisis to a greater extent than upon any other single thing. We are learning that citizenship not only presumes privileges and benefits, but duties and responsibilities as well. Colored-men have got to enter fully upon the discharge of every function of citizenship if we are to be accorded every protection, every right and every benefit under our government which other men enjoy. We cannot practice destruction and differences, we cannot discriminate, we cannot avoid the duties of free government or evade its burdens, if we would deserve citizenship under it. There has been no faltering or quibbling and there must not be. We must go forward with the same unreserved loyalty and devotion which has always been characteristic of our people. We must accept the inconveniences and hardships common to war conditions without complaining and we must establish our right to full citizenship so thoroughly and so emphatically that the ranting demagogue and most prejudiced hoodlums will not have the gall to gainsay or withhold it. "We have won our spurs" at war already,—this is a tale, many times told,—but we must keep on winning and keep on reminding the unlearned and unthinking masses about it, at every occasion. The intelligent people know our capacity and disposition and our attitude toward free government and all the institutions of democracy, but these are in the minority in this country as elsewhere. These are ready and anxious to acknowledge that we are fully entitled to full citizenship opportunity. We have got to convince the masses, and convert them. Oppression is a manifestation of ignorance and lack of civilization. It harks back to man's more animal stages. Discrimination and prejudice, as they are practiced against colored people in this country, are as unnatural as they are illegal, and these must give way and disappear before progress and power-and light. Let us keep plugging away; let us increase our commercial and industrial and our moral and intellectual powers and resources. The result will be one thing,—and inevitable,—success. There is a sort of man in our town. He lives near you or works with you or visits you or worships and communes with you. He is a man of power, of brain, of money. His influence extends to many people and touches many things, and he must be reckoned with, because of his positive and powerful force in the affairs of our town, and because of his persistence. Our subject uses his power selfishly and with shuster design—if he uses it unselfishly and in the interest of community uplift, he would be the idol of the people, beloved and happier for it. He has a following of unthinking and spineless men—they are selfish and soulless like himself and they submit themselves, slavishly to his direction. Their ranks are being constituted and replenished, constantly, from the enemies of progress, for there are yet a great many who: for petty and very insufficient motive, would sacrifice the whole people and their interests. These men have some following among the people, some friends among the good people, because of the few worthy parts in themselves; and it is a good thing and not to be regretted that they are associated with these good people, because in this there is hope that their power and influence may eventually and early be turned in the direction of progress and good fellowship. Unwilling to overlook minor grievances and objections, their vision and judgment blinded by meanness and motives of revenge, this element busys itself to obstacle and impede progressive and commendable enterprises, because, forsooth, those they, dislike may launch these movements or be associated with those who do. It is in this narrow view of large things, this unwillingness to sacrifice the individual little whim for the good of the many, that the mlsfortune lies. Men cannot grow; groups cannot attain positions of power and respect; races cannot reach the heights of honor and civilization, if their souls and natures are not allowed to develop coincident with their intellects and material resources. Now, then, let such people get in line, loose their restrained better and truer natures, look out upon life and human striving with more of heart and higher hope, and join the onward movement of good-men and women and worthy enterprise. For only in this does their chance for redemption lie, The Negro race needs to marshal all its assets of man-power; we need every one of the strong men of the race, thinking and acting along the same line, in the same channel, for a common cause. We cannot divide our energies; we cannot afford to be at cross purposes; we must work together, if we survive competition on the one hand and opposition on the other. Fortunately, the day grows brighter, because there is a growing number of men of larger hearts and broader vision of our common causes. In every community, there gravitates together, somehow, a group of strong men, who defer to each other, pool their strength in common effort and "put things over." And this will continue, and with greater frequency. The light of inspiration shines brilliantly, the field, of opportunity and privilege stretches our, away and past our humble vision to span, or our narrow natures to conceive, every avenue of advancement is opened to us, freely and wide, and naught, save ourselves alone, stands between us and the goal of our struggle in this nation. Let us, pray, cease to play the crab. NEGRO ARMY OFFICERS The commissions for Negro officers who have been in training at Des Moines for the past four months have gone forward and there is the keenest interest everywhere in what those commissions may amount to. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE. SATURDAY OCTOBER 13. 1917 It has been suggested that, even among Negro army units, these will amount to no more than company commander, and that there is no hope of advancement beyond that rank, no matter what the exigencies and eventualities of the war may be. It has also been rumored that those who may win the high commissions, if any should be awarded these, will be placed on the officers reserved lists, and then will see on service in important posts. We cannot anticipate what the intentions of the War Department may be; whether the whole schedule of official rank shall be extended fully and freely to Negro officers or whether there is to pervade and characterize the department that some policy of subterfuge and evasion which has been operated in other governmental circles. We do know that the Young case was not terminated satisfactorily to the people at large, however good the government's reason, for what it did. We also know that the press of the nation has been busy at engendering a public opinion inimical to the Negro in every branch of the military service. We have been encouraged, however, at the conduct of the honorable Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, in that he refused to be turned aside from his studied plans at the whims of demagogues and an unreasoning and rabid press. As a national character, charged with the most important portfolio of the nation at this critical time, Mr. Baker looms up bizarre; he stands out sharply in contrast with a great many of his associates in the nation's war preparation. It may be that the administration has chosen a bigger man than it knew. We expect certain hardships for Negro soldiers recruited for the great national army, due to the fact that their care and keeping, for the present at least, will be entrusted largely to the Southern men who find it hard to rise above their prejudices. The few bigger men in chief authority will not be able to secure absolutely just and important dealing along the line of authority. But these are minor considerations, and the Negro recruits go into the service expecting somewhat of disadvantage. We do, however, expect that the same comforts of housing and clothing and feeding will obtain; that every facility for thorough training along every branch of the military, and naval service will be open to and extended to them; that to a large extent at present Negro units will be officed by Negro men from the Negro regulars and from the officers' training camp, and that to a larger extent in the near future will this be the case; and, above all, that as Negroes show themselves fit and competent, they will be regularly and consistently advanced in rank and grade—even to the very highest post, within the gift of the service. The calling of Mr. Emmett J. Scott to the service of the War Department, in whatever capacity he may serve there, was a long step in the right direction, and in the way of recognizing the great worth of Negro people, not only in the army service, but, generally, in all the affairs of the nation. Secretary Baker and his counsellors and aids must have recognized this thing to call Mr. Scott. That they called the right man, no Negro of these United States will doubt. Mr. Scott is eminently well qualified in every way for the duty and advices he may be called on to give. We shall suspend judgment of the War Department acts, temporarily at least, and of the acts of the Secretary of War, and await developments; both in the disposition and mobilization of Negro soldiermen after their organization, and in the awards and assignments which shall be made at Des Moines. We shall not be satisfied with anything less than fullest opportunity to advance to the most honorable post in the nation's service. To be satisfied with less would be to admit that we are unworthy.

C., Oct. 10.—A accord ing to news given out today at the War Department, provision is being made for the formation of an addition National Army Division to be compo ed of colored troops. Details are lacking at present, but it is understood generally that colored men selected for service will be sent to camps in their own states where such exists and in other cases to the nearest encampment in other states. They are to be brigaded and maintained in separate organizations. In anticipation of the graduating exercises of the colored candidates at the officers' reserve camp at Fort Des Moines, army army officers are leaving for that fateful town laden with commissions to be presented to those who are considered to have earned them by their four months course of instruction. Emmett J. Scott, the newly appointed advisor to the Secretary of War, will be on the ground as a representative of the War Department, and it is expected that he will bear the personal greetings of Secretary Baker to the budding officers. In the circumstances, an address at this time by Mr., Scott will be regarded as an utterance of the highest significance, by reason of his commission as the spokesman of 12,000,000 colored citizens of the Republic. It is stated that the new officers will be assigned to Negro units in the Regulars, Naionlat Guard and National Army us needed, and the probability is expressed that none will hold higher rank for the present than company commander. The colored quota of the District of Columbia, numbering about 50 per cent. of the total of 1,022 drafted, is to be sent to Camp Meade in the very near future. The camp is located at Admiral. Md., not far from washington. Colored recruits from Maryland and Pennsylvania will also be concentrated at this cantonment. The town in all will house about 40,00 soldiers. The First- Separate Battalion, District National Guard, is still in this vicinity. A portion of the battalion is guarding the government property in and about Washington. Orders are expected at any moment assigning them to their regular station under the War Department's program for the distribution of colored troops. --- Many colored men and women are taking advantage of the civil service examinations that are being held almost every day for various positions under the government. Several hundred of the race have secured places at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and at the government printing office. --- Mr. Harry M. Reynolds is in the West with Secretary of the Treasurer William Gibbs McAdoo, touring in the interest of the Second Liberty Loan of 1917. ```markdown ``` Mr. R. W. Thompson, a clerk in the office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury, mechanical equipment division, has been given a handsome promotion—the second within the present year. --- Mr. Emmett J. Scott is the house guest of Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Curtis, and will make his home with them during his sojourn here as special assistant to the Secretary of War. --- Mine, Anita Patti Brown, of Chicago, the famous coloratura soprano, is expected in the city Saturday, October 18. She has been filling engagements in Pittsburg, New York and other cities and may be prevailed upon to make an appearance in Washington, if the necessary arrangements can be made for the event. The pharmacy of Dr. Willie May Harris-Taylor, 3rd and F streets, southwest, was robbed recently. Among the stolen goods were a cash register with the cash inside and many toilet articles. An effort is being made to round up the thief. Shiloh Baptist church has not been able so far to obtain the price it asks for its L street property and hence will not complete its negotiations for the 15th and R street, church of the Christian Scientists until the present site is sold at the figure regarded as fair. Lieut. Ernest R. Gaither, president of the Boosters and Knockers Club—base ball fans—announces that the organization will give its annual banquet on Halloween night at the residence of Mr. Herbert Carter. The special guest of honor will be S. H. Dudley, who will be in town that week at the Gayety with Dave Marion's big snow. Fifty reservations will be made for the club and its friends at the Gayety, preceding the banquet. * Dr. Maurice Curtis and Miss Fannie Holland were married recently.

DUNBAR, President DUNCAN PRINGLE, Sec.-Mgr. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson I.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 7, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ps. Ixxxv and cxxvi. Memory Verses, Ps. Ixxxv, 10, 11. Golden Text, Ps. cxxvi, 5—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We have been speaking in recent lessons of some of God's great circles in connection with the heavenly orbs of His universe and the great truths of His word. Coming to the Psalms, in which we shall have at least two lessons this quarter, we find the same thing. But in all Scripture the Lord God of Israel, the Lord Jesus Christ, is ever the center. He is the perfect man of Ps. 1 in contrast to the wicked one of the same Psalm, but each includes those who are theirs. He is the one so greatly to be praised in Ps. cl. His kingdom of Ps. 11 is the same as that of Ps. exlix. These Psalms are Israel's fivefold response to the five books of the law, each book corresponding in some measure to each book of the Pentateuch. The ending of the first four books of Psalms are xll, lxxll, lxxlix, evl, and are easily noted by the double "Amen" of the first three and the "Amen, Hallelujah!" of the fourth. Christ is no doubt in all the Psalms, as He is in all the Scriptures, according to His own testimony in Luke xxiv, 27, 44. His sufferings and His glory are everywhere set forth, and the setting up of His kingdom, with Israel as the center, at His couring in glory to judge and to reign. The present age of gathering the church from all the nations is a mystery first revealed to Paul, according to Eph. III, 1-6; Rom. xvI, 25-27; Col. 1, 26, 27, but everywhere in all the book there are heart messages for every individual believer, whether Jew or gentile. David and Asaphi and Moses and perhaps others whom God inspired to write the Psalms saw, as did the prophets, the future, on to the coming of the kingdom, by the Holy Spirit who spoke to them and through them. They not only foresaw the near but also the faroff fulfillments of the purposes of God, the restoration from Babylon and the still future restoration from all nations where they are still scattered. Both of the Psalms of our lesson may easily cover both events and give us many a glad word for our own hearts. Understanding that the thanksgiving and rejoicing are primarily that of Israel, let us as believers appropriate all we can. The nation shall be reborn suddenly and the iniquity of their land removed in one day, when they shall look upon their Messiah and receive Him as their God' at His coming in glory (Isa. xxv, 8, 9; lxvI, 5-13; Zech. iii, 8, 9). It is impossible to have real lasting joy apart from the forgiveness of sins, for until that becomes our experience the wrath of God is still upon us (lxxxy, 1-3; John lil, 36). It is the privilege of every believer to proclaim to others the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ because of His finished work (Acts xiii, 38, 30) and by John 1, 12, and I John 11, 12, any one can see how to become a child of God and know their sins forgiven. Then can we sing the Song of Israel after they shall have received Him and make even now the words of Isa. xii our very own. If we are not made glad by such assurances as that He will never remember our sins, and that we are even now delivered from the wrath to come (Isa. xiii, 25; I Thess. i, 10) it must be because we fail to believe what He says, for joy and peace come by believing (Rom. xv, 13). If we are in Christ we cannot pray the words of lxxxy, 4-7, although as Christians we need mercy continually and salvation from the world, the flesh and the devil, while we wait for the salvation to be revealed at His appearing (verse 7; I Pet. i, 7, 13). His thoughts to His people are always thoughts of peace (Ps. xxix, 11; Jer. xxix, 11; John xiv, 27). Therefore it is well to say always, "I will hear what God the Lord will speak" (lxxxy, 8). Lesson verse 9 remluds us that the Lord is nigh unto all who call upon Him in truth and that salvation includes all kinds of deliverances that we may need, besides the salvation of our souls now and our bodies at His coming again (Ps. exxl, 18; Ixvill, 20, R. V.). The saying that "glory may dwell in our land" we cannot appropriate, for it is wholly for Israel. The church, the believers of this age, have no land, for we are gathered out of all lands, strangers here, citizens of heaven, but we shall own the world after our marriage to the Lamb, just as Ruth came into possession of the field in which she had gleaned before her marriage to Boaz. His glory will fill us as individuals now in proportion to our yieldedness to Him, but after His glory shall be seen upon Israel it will fill the whole earth (Isa. 1x, 1-3; Hab. ii, 14). The saying "Our land shall yield her increase" (lxxxv, 12) is a summary of Ps. Ixvii, which tells of blessing to all the earth through Israel, but also turns its workers with God to I Cor. iii, 6, 7, where we learn that, however much we may labor, God alone can give the increase. In lesson verses 10-12 we have four great words, Mercy, Truth, Righteousness, Peace, each of which points to Him, whether for Israel or for us. He is the Truth, He is our Righteousness, He is our Peace, and in Him alone is Mercy found. All meet in Him as Son of David, Son of God. The great things which He has done and will do for His people should fill us with true laughter, and all sowing will bring good reaping if He does it through us (Ps. exxl).

A packed house was present and received more than their moncy’s worth. = The principal go of the evening was ‘the scheduled 15, round bout between Ware and Tango Kid. It was a gruel- ling fight and every second of the eight rounds they pummelled each other was full of action which kept the crowd in one continuous-round of excitement. The opening round was a feeler fot both men, neither taking or giving any chances. In the second, both men cut loose, Tangd bringing into play every ounce of his 193 pounds while Rough House used every strategy and cunning wrapped up in his 176 pound frame. It was apparent that a real fight was on and the crowd Was on edge to welcome the bull dog scrap which it had come to witness. After ha few seconds of parleying Tango shot a left to the face which Ianded on Hough's jaw und floorld him, He jquickly recovered and Tango seeking to take advantage of his opponent's ap- parent dkize condition followed this with a right to the head which again put Rough House down. As he rose ‘Tango rushed him but Hough was able to cover up and stave off the sleep-pro- ducing v-allop which everybody thought ‘Was coming. -In the third, the crowd looked for the end but the interrup- tion of the police authorities Inter- fered and saved the fight for Rough In this round Tango opened up by again flooring Roush with a right to the jaw which knocked him through the ropes. ‘This was followed by an ava- Janehe of rights and lefts to the hear which again floored Rough House. As he fell he injured his leg and was ap parently unable to continue the fight. WHERE TO GET THE TRIBUNEOUT OF TOWN New York—Kayes! Burbershop, G51 532 $. 15th street,-or Edw, Pollord, Lenox avenue.

Rough House re- sorted to left and right jabs which brought blood from his opponent's [nose Rough House wags fighting fariously and took the round with much room to spare, ‘ In the sixth, Rough House continued his jabbing and had succeeded in slow- ing up his powerful opponent. He landed time after time and had Tango on the offensive throughout the round. ‘The seventh was waged on even terms. in the eighth, both men went at it with hammer and ongs. The fighting had proceeded but a few seconds when Tango dropped to the floor claiming that Rough House hag fouled him. After a few minutes he emerged thru the crowd to the dressing room and !refused to continue the fight, As the blow was delivered several men sitting in frout of the ring hollowed “he hit im low.” The referce evidently did not see the blow. As Tango refused to continue the fight the referee award- ed the fight to Rough House. The | dociston called forth much criticism.
