The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIII 6,000 Negro Children ren In Parade BIGGEST DEMONSTRATION EVER HELD HERE Much Applause Given Youthful Marciters Wherever They Appeared Six thousand Negro school children led by their teachers paraded the streets of Savannah Monday afternoon as a demonstration of the Liberty Loan Bonds. It was the biggest demonstration of the kind ever held here by Negro children and wherever the parade was seen it was given a rousing applause. The parade got away from its point of rendition. Gwinnett and West Broad streets at 4:45 o'clock. Practically every school, both public and private of any size whatever was in line. It was an ideal afternoon for the demonstration and the thousands of youthful Americans who were in line trying to impress upon every citizen of Savannah the necessity of lending a helping hand to the government in this national crisis in which the safety of the country is at stake and world freedom the main issue marched with precision and evenness of line which is seldom seen in school children parades. The parade was headed by a platoon of police followed by chief Marshal L. B. Thompson. Then came Middleton's hand, behind which came the students of Georgia State College, headed by President R. R. Wright and his faculty who rode in machines. The college contingent made a very impressive showing, especially the two companies of uniformed cadets and the young women who wore white middy blouses and blue skirts. Just preceding the college was a float with Master Thomas representing Uncle Sam and little Miss Louise Thompson depicting Columbia. Much ovation was given these two youthful Americans who are children of two of the college families, as their float passed the thousands of onlookers who occupied every foot on both sides of the street through which the parade passed. Next in line came the students of the Beach Institute, headed by one of their teachers, Mrs. M. E. Harper. Then came the West Broad Street School with Principal J. H. C. Butler at the head. They were led by their school drummer, Theodore Pollen. These were followed by the East Broad Street school led by Principal R. W. Gadsen. The Monroe Street school with acting Principal S. S. Kelson in the lead and the Cuyler street school, headed by Principal J. W. Hubert, and school drummer Samuel Lee, came next in line. Pupils and teachers of St. Augustine school, the Catholic schools, Swangin Normal and Industrial Institute, Woodville school, headed by Principal Robert Gibson followed in the order named. Each of the marchers carried an American flag or a banner relating to the Liberty Loan. The line was formed fours and extended in length a distance of about twenty-one city blocks. The parade went north on West Broad to Broughton, east to Jefferson and then south to the disbanding points. At the same time the Negro children were parading he white children were having their demonstrations, the two parades being separate.

GEORGIA NEW YORK CLUB HOLDS INSTALLATION New York City—The United Sons of Georgia held its installation of officers on Wednesday night October 17th at St. Lukes hall, 251 West 433d street. The club is a little over a month old and was organized through the efforts of Mr. Edward H. Burke of Savannah who recently visited this city. In the short space of time that it has been operating, the outlook is for a bright progressive club. Its membership has reached seventy-odd and many applications are now on file. The president, Mr. Joseph Daves and his board of officers are bending every effort to place the organization on a high standard and they are meeting with encouragement from every side. The preparation for the installation which was very elaborate was handled by Messrs. R. B. Coleman as chairman; William H. Gibbons, Clem Pittman, Benj. H. Godfrey and Richard Jefferson. The personnel of this entertainment committee is evident of the manner in which the members and the guests were cared for and of the sinaptuous supper that was prepared for their enjoyment. There were a number of ladies present, among whom were: Mrs. Josephine Daves, Mrs. W. H. Josephine Daves, Mrs. W. H. Jackson, Mrs. R. F. Bostick, Mrs. Ada Simmons and Mrs. R. B. Coleman.

The total number losing their lives on the transport was seventy. Bobin entered the United States 12 transport service during the early part of last June, enrolling in this city. He was last heard from by his wif, Mrs. Annie Bobin, the latter part of June. He was then in Newport News, Va., and said that he was about to sail for a foreign port. The trip over from France on which he lost his life was the first foreign trip he had made while in the government service, though with a number of private crews he had visited foreign ports many times. He had been running on coast-wise steamers ever since he came to Savannah from Charleston. S. C., about seven years ago and was well known by workers on the river front. The first official news of her husband's death was received by Mrs. Bobin on Thursday of last week when she received a telegram from Washington stating that her husband was among the missing members of the Antilles' crew. The dead man and his wife and little girl lived at 715 East Ogletorther avenue. He was a native of Lady's Island, S. C. He was about 38 years of age and besides his wife and little daughter is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Maggie Wheater-on and Mrs. Katie Bobin, both of Charleston, S. C. Before coming to this city, the illfated man lived for many years in Charleston, S. C. JOINT MEETING OF MASONIC. LODGES All of the Masons to Have Mass Meeting Monday Night On Monday night.

THRIVING HAHIRA SOCIETY One of the most thriving and wideawake organizations of Hahira, Ga., is the American Tarm Banner Society which was organized a year ago by four of the leading citizens of that community. At the end of last month, the society had a healthy bank account and the membership was all that could be desired. One of the leading lights of the society is Mr. N. B. N. Smith who has done much for the success of the organization. Mr. C. M. English of Charleston was in the city last week shaking hands with his host of friends. Box Ticket Sale Begins Monday BANQUET FOLLOWING CONCERT TO BE BRILLIANT AFFAIR Many Out-of-Town People Expected To Attend Concert The sale of box seats for the Ur. ban League's Grand Musical Festival at Municipal Auditorium, Nov. 20, will be opened Monday at 10 o'clock sharp at the Savannah Tribune. First callers will get the best seats. Every box seat is admirably well located and there will be little to choose. Due to THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HOLIDAY Madam Anita Patti Brown of Chicago, soloist at the big musical. the unprecedented demand for these tickets, far exceeding the supply; the concert committee is giving this public announcement of their sale so as to give every one equal opportunity to purchase them. None can be reserved upon order and cash must accompany all requests for reservations. The parquet or ground floor seats, equally desirable, will be placed on sale later, the seats not having been installed as yet. The beautiful auditorium building presents a lively scene of designs, furnishes and electricians, putting in the finishing equipment of various sorts, preparatory to turning the handsome structure over to the city and public. Every opportunity and convenience is strictly in accord with the most modern ideas in auditorium design throughout the country, and Savannah's latest public building will be second to none in beauty and artistic design as well as in comfort and convenience. Word from the stars who are to come in this opening engagement indicates that they are going to be in high nettle for the occasion, which the local committee expects to be a history-maker in musical annals in this city. The local chorus under direction of Prof. R. W. Gadsden is progressing splendidly. Director Gadsden has just received a number of copies of "Listen to the Lambs," that beautiful and possessing little composition for choruses quartette by R. Nathaniel Dett, one of the race's leading composers. "Listen to the Lambs" is going to be sung here for the first time, and comes fresh from the northern centers where it has been holding the place of honor on all programs. It will, doubtless, make a great hit here. Orders for tickets of the better grade continue to come in from out-of-town people and most of the large cities of the state will be represented in the great audience by large delegations. The banquet following the concert will be a separate and distinct feature of the festival occasion, and will be managed by the ladies of the Free Kindergarten Association. In splendor and enjoyment this feature of the artists' visit to Savannah is expected to be second only to the concert occasion. Society folks will be out on mass going directly to the Masonic Temple from the Auditorium at the close of the concert. The concert program will commence promptly at 8:30 and programs announcing details, now in press, will soon be out. Do not forget the box seat sale on Monday morning, as announced.

Members of this powerful and representative organization have taken a lively interest in the kindergarten movement and have pledged themselves to see that the work succeed. They have already made a donation of $5.00 and assured the ladies that this gift is only a beginning of regular help and support. Many members of the organization will join the association as members paying the annual fee of one dollar, and will attend the meetings to give aid and support to the general plans. Rev. S. E. Scott, president; Major Jackson and Mr. Jake Wright are expected to become members of the Kindergarten Board of Managers. A meeting of the Kindergarten Committee with members of the High Art Aid and Social Club is being arranged and it is expected that many of the good women of that organization will become interested workers for a kindergarten at Yamagaw Centre. Those making the visit as above referred to were: Mesdames DesVerney, Belcher, Hamilton, Jackson and Miss McDowell and J. G. Lemon. Refreshments were served the ladies by members of the union. Urban League Holds Annual Meeting Urban League Holds Annual Meeting ACCOMPLISHED MUCH DURING PAST TWELVE MONTHS Membership Being Greatly Increased Will Open Kindergarten Shortly The local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes held its annual meeting Monday night at the League's headquarters. West Broad street and Gwinnett lane. The meeting was fairly well attended and the reports rendered told in a most impressive way of the many commensal things accomplished by the league during the past twelve months. The principal features of the evening were the reports rendered by Director J. G. Lemon and Treasurer A. B. Singfield. The director, who was elected during the year to look after the league's affairs, enumerated in a very telling way the year's work of the league. He told of the activities of last fall when, with the regular work of helping the distressed going on, the league raised a very substantial am for Christmas donations to the poor. He also told of the community Christmas tree celebration, the first affair of the kind ever held in this city by Negroes. The Clean-up Campaign for Negroes of the city was a part of the league's accomplishments last spring. The Health Week observance was another of the services rendered the community at this period of the year. Following Health Week, the league held a Baby Week observance, during which lectures were given to the public by the city bacteriologist. The Yamacraw Centre work of the league has grown to big proportions. This is one of the most important branches of the league's work and is doing much good for this crowded district. In the line of sports the league held again last spring its annual school children's meet at which 4,000 were present. The league was foremost in the securing of a probation officer for wayward Negro children and is now assisting in furnishing his salary, the greater portion of it being given by the Phelps-Stokes fund of New York. The work of the Beast Side play ground was spoken of very highly by the director. The league hopes to broaden its activities this year. Among its new features will be a free kindergarten which will be established at the Yamacraw centre. The league now has a membership of about 189, among whom are some of the best known social service workers of the city. The total receipts for the year were $894.36 while the expenditures amounted to $760.18, leaving a balance of $134.31. CLASS OFFICERS The senior class of Beach Institute has elected the following officers: James Hardwick, president; Lella Holmes, vice president; Nellie Singfield, secretary; Beatrice Maxwell, treasurer.

Building NEGROES RAISE $29,000 LARGEST IN THE COUNTRY Work to Begin on New Building Immediately Atlanta, Ga.—All records were broken when 500 colored women under the chairmanship of Mrs. John Hope, who had associated with her Mesdames J. B. Watson, A. F. Herndon, J. T. McKenny, Mabelle Driskell, M. T. Trent Lethea Craig, C. B. Pittman, India Pitts, Moses Amos, R. H. Singleton, Mattle Ford, S. C. J. Bryant, conducted a house to house tag day and raised the enormity sum of $1,$00.00. From early Saturday morning until late in the evening these women walked the streets of Atlanta canvassing every pedestrian, each housekeeper, each laborer and each business man. It was a great sacrifice that they made and it is inspiring to note the wonderful result. Mothers, sisters and sweet-hearts canvassing money to provide a Christian resting place for their loved ones. They were determined to "put it over" and they "put it over." This rally was known as the effort of the churches and the amounts raised by the women were apportioned to their respective churches. Having raised $222.00 Bethel A. M. E. church, of which Rev. R. H. Singleton is pastor, won the prize, a ton of coal, which was given to the church raising the largest amount on Tag Day. Friendship Baptist church ran a close second having raised $222.85, only 15c difference. Thirty-one churches made contributions to the campaign. On Sunday afternoon 6,000 persons gathered at a mass meeting in the city auditorium as a close to the rally and at which time the churches were to make their final reports. Hon Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, delivered the principal address, which was forceful beyond measure. Time and again he was applauded. In the course of his address he had come to assure the colored people of the good will of the white people, who had made more progress in fifty years than any other race under the sun, would send their representative of good citizenship to the white people and appeal to the white man's conscience, that the colored race would get everything that they deserved. He condemned the poor public school facilities for colored children and assured them that they would get better. He received tremendous applause when he said that the colored man was sure to get fairness and justice in this country, for this country could not afford to go 3,000 miles away from home to fight for democracy without first correcting the evils at home. At the conclusion of Mr. Howell's address Rev. A. D. Wijllams made the appeal and the various churches reported a total of $2,200.00, making a grand total raised during the rally of $4,000.00. Wheat Street Baptist church led all the churches with a total amount raised of $1,000.00. This is remarkable on account of the fact that last spring this church was completely destroyed by fire. With the $4,000.00 raised Saturday and Sunday the colored people of Atlanta have raised $29,000.00 which is the largest amount raised by colored people alone for an association in the country. As guests of the city of Atlanta were seated on the rostrum Lieut. Rusch, Shaw and Powell, of the U. S. Reserve Army. Prof. Kemper Harrel's famous chorus of 300 voices rendered the music, accompanied by City Organist Chas. Sheldon. Several valuable prizes were given to individuals raising the largest amount on Tag Day. The success of this rally assures-the completion of the $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building and work on it will begin immediately. ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs. Celia Ford announces the marriage of her daughter Ethel M. Griffith to Dr. James B. Ford of Washington, D. C., which took place at St. Augustine church, Washington, D. C., Sunday, October 21. The ceremony being performed by the Rev. Father Griffith. Mrs. Ford will return home within a few weeks to visit her mother. Dr. Ford is a counsellor. In 19. J. S. AGE TWO THE PATENT LEATHER BELT New York, Oct. 20—New York is so full of a number of things—things odd and interesting in the ways of trimmings, silhouettes and materials—that one has to be very careful about saying "this is the style" or "that is not being worn." Indeed, one may wear what one pleases, in the way one pleases. There are short skirts and long skirts, full skirts and narrow skirts, draped skirts and straight skirts, and the variety of waists, sleeves and all other parts of the costume is just great. It is for you to choose; decide what is most becoming and wear it! Patent Leather Belts The dress of dark serge or gabardine, the every-day dress of the particular person, is receiving a great deal of attention this year. It is simple, of course, almost lacking in trimming but the details are perfect. C. Simpliety and Daintiness One of the small touches that seems to add so much is the belt of patent leather. Sometimes this is quite narrow, from an inch to two in width, and is placed slightly above the natural waistline. Wide belts, too, are very popular. One unusual dress of tan serge had a white leather belt nearly four inches wide, with the buckle fastening on the side instead of the front. Dresses, high waisted, long waisted or regulation waisted, seem to demand these belts. Ideas for Leisure Hours This is the time of year when one's thoughts turn naturally to the costumes worn in the house. Perhaps it is the contrast between the wonderful weather we are having and the cold wet days to come, a sort of forethought or a warning. Negligees and house dresses are very important things in this generation of individual dressing, and even the most matter-of-fact C. M. C. The Ever-Popular House Dress housewife glories in her dainty lounging robe, when she can relax and forget the odds and ends necessary to keep the wheels of housekeeping running smoothly. Daintiness and simplicity are the first essentials; next comes appropriateness, for it is ridiculous to wear thin silks, satins or dimples when one needs a warm woolen bathrobe. Illustrated here is an ideal lounging costume, and it depends on its design and the material used for its beauty as it is absolutely without any trimming but the tiny ruffles of the same material. The large pockets give a touch of practicality, not out of place; and the loose fit insures comfort. Novel Boudoir Caps Liberty in the Boudoir! It sounds THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY OCTOBER 27, 1917 like the title of some exciting play, does it not? In reality it is the newest model of the boudoir cap. Shaped like the French liberty cap, it may be of allover lace, or soft satin or any of the other fascinating materials suitable for these dainty affairs. Dutch caps are very popular, and another odd design is the cap shaped like the hat of a Chinese coolie. There is nothing more welcome to the average woman than one of these becoming trifles, and they make wonderful Christmas gifts. Add a sacque of pink pepe de Chine trimmed with fuffles of fine Valenciennes lace and chiffon rose in the same delicate shade of pink, and you become a Fairy Godmother of Christmas gifts! Then there are untold ways of making the boudoir slipper. From the half slipper or mule to the comfy knitted ones of various colors, there is a wide choice. Whole volumes could be devoted to the house dress, for that is a costume that should be so perfectly practical and suitable that one could forget all about it. Trim and neat, made so that it can readily be laundered, it is the uniform of the efficient woman. Large pockets are a necessity, pockets that will hold things bulky or small and not put on simply for ornamentation. The fewer fastenings the better, for this is a dress often donned in a hurry. The one illustrated here shows an attractive and effective use of striped material. The collar, cuffs and belt are of white pique or linen, and the dress is of blue striped percale. There is fullness without bulk, and the arrangement of the pockets is most unusual and can be copied on the dress for other occasions. Made of wool materials, serge, gabardine or the new French worsted, this design would compete with the smartest dress in one's wardrobe. EMIETT SCOTT AT DES MOINES Impresses Negro Officers with Their Duty to Country and Race Des Moines, Ia., Oct. 15-At the graduating exercises here today of the 17th Provincial Training Regiment of the Reserve Officers' Training Camp, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War and secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, delivered the principal address. Representing, as he did, the War Department, his message to the Negro officers is of especial significance. He said in part as follows "I have the distinguished honor, the unexampled privilege of bearing from the Nation's Capital, from the Honorable, the Secretary of War, his personal and official greetings, and the expression of his confidence that, in accepting the perilous responsibility which is to be reposed in you by the National Government, you will acquit yourself like men. "We meet today under circumstances of commanding interest and peculiar significance. Never before in the history of the world have men of your birth and traditions had the opportunity of being prepared in the arts of modern warfare, in such numbers and of such promise, to go forth as representatives of 10,000,000 of your kind to battle for human freedom and human rights. "And it is a privilege vouchesafed you for you are to have the opportunity, by your good conduct, your efficiency, as officers and as soldiers of the National Army, to bear witness, for a race, for the gratitude that race feels that out of another conflict of more than fifty years ago, also fought for human freedom and human rights, there came to them full citizen-hip rights in the greatest republic of all the earth. Despite some doubts and some impatience, and some delays, you have been commissioned by your government, militant and determined as it is, to go forth on a great venture that may lead you and the men under you to the trenches of France, and probably to Under den Linden. "Not only have you, some 600 of you, been commissioned as officers, but you must have read General Bliss's statement last week that the seventeenth division of fighting troops to be trained for duty in France will be composed exclusively of colored men, whom many of you will command—thus disposing of the ill-formed rumor that you are not to have the chance to win your spurs as fighting men facing the enemy eye to eye. But wherever you go and wherever you serve, I know you will bear in mind that in a very real sense, you and those who serve with you have in your keeping the good name of a proud, expectant and confident people. "You will remember, I am sure, that you are on trial. It will be for you to prove that men of your race, when led by competent, efficient and fearless men of the same race, are not afraid to do, to dare and to die. Thank God, neither you or your race is on trial to prove its patriotism. On an hundred battlefields, from Boston Commons to Carrizal, the colored people have proved their patriotism and their willingness to make supreme sacrifice for justice, for fair play, for liberty. In every one of our country's wars, the colored people have exhibited a high sense of patriotism and faithfulness to duty, as well as an eager willingness to contribute their best in mind and spirit to the Nation's cause. They have never failed the Republic and they will not fall it now. The spirit of the men who will compose the National Army was exhibited at Atlanta, Ga., a day or two ago. When the colored contingent from Thomas county, Georgia, appeared at the assembling point in Thomasville, just prior to their movement to Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Georgia, one of the number, James Florney, had not finished his crop, and made a last appeal for respite until he could finish farming. The executive officer said he would call for a volunteer from the other colored men who had been certified but not yet called, and there was a stampede for the job." The speaker then related a number of striking stories of the bravery exhibited by Negro soldiers on various battlefields and concluded as follows: "One word more and I am done: In your relationship with your men, you will keep in mind the psychological aspect of the adventure upon which you are embarking. Cheerfulness begets cheerfulness, and, more than that, willingness, yea eagerness, to undertake any duty, responsibility or risk. In this supreme hour, when the fate of the republic is at stake, your emphasis, I am sure, will be upon duties and responsibilities of the sacred privilege of serving one's country in her hour of need. "I know you will, each of you, come back, as Secretary Baker states it, 'partners in heroism' with the men of Europe serving the Allied cause, with your shield or on it. 'I bid you God Speed and Good Luck'. BEREAN ACADEMY The Academy is meeting with great success on Wheaton street and Waters avenue, with Miss E. R. Dennis and Miss A. E. Maxwell as teachers.

When clouds of trouble darken your pathway, let your Masonry shine in undiminished splendor. For the clouds will pass away, and the sunshine will again gladden your heart. . . . Our disquietude and nervous unrest in the afflictions of life prove the very necessity of those afflictions. They prove our lack of submission and faith in God and reveal even to ourselves, if we are thoughtful, the need of deeper experiences and more abiding, trusting obedience. If it is seen to be true that an all-wise and all-powerful God will always bring about the best result, why should we fear? Our involuntary rebellion against God's will and plan for us reveals our need of better acquaintance with, dependence on and harmonization with Him. The tests we shrink from are the one's that we need.—Masonic News. --- The fraternal friendship need not, and usually does not consist of giving of financial aid. The Mason finding himself in a strange city or country needs advice and connexe. He needs the assistance of his brother in an endeavor to obtain honest information regarding the people, customs, hotels, etc., and he always receives what he seeks from reliable sources, provided he is able to establish his identity and he conducts himself is a manner be-ocsing a Mason. Here's to the continued success of our Masonic Home—the pride of Georgia Masonry. Let us give it our royal and undivided support. Do not neglect an opportunity to do good, to be useful, and to make the world better because you have lived in it. If we would be true to our Masonic obligations, we would make life brighter, and our brethren would call us blessed. Kene it Pure A Masonic lodge should not become talented with the restless spirit of the age, that spirit which regards money and power as the chief good, and material growth as real progress, that spirit which seeks to excel in size, rather than substance and quality.

War Preparations (Help to Improve Economic Conditions The boll-weevil scare and the doubt as to the extent of the exodus prompted southern merchants and money-lenders to withdraw the usual credits extended to colored farmers. Race planters financed themselves, as best they could, with the consequence that now with cotton selling at highest figures known since the Civil war, these same planters are in receipt of substantial incomes from their crops and have none of the usual bills to meet. This result, you may be sure, was not expected. Our enemies forced into our hands the very weapon needed. The building of the twenty Army Cantonments in the "Dixie" states gave employment to colored labor, both skilled and unskilled at good wages. Their withdrawal from normal fields brought about a raise of wages all round. These two factors have so augmented the natural growth of southern enterprises as to create untold volume of business. Contrary to generally credited opinion, the Negro is proving himself to be thrifty, and among the first to feel added circulation of business was the Standard Life Insurance Company, whose office force, in their effort to keep abreast of the tide of growing business is now working until 9:30 every night. The average daily issue of business during the present month has been in excess of $40,000. When one considers the detail work attached to the issue of every policy the volume of office work may well be imagined. The issue of supplies to agents; the receipt and recording of the applications, the medical examination report; the conference over irregularities that may arise; the actual policy checking; the computating of the reserve, all prior to the mailing of the policy. The last named feature requiring a miniature post office in itself. These activities are all inside from the collection of the premiums upon existing business; the investment and protection of company funds, the collecting of interest due, the investigation of claims and payment of benefits, and the many other phases incident to big business operations. The overtime work is made necessary because more trained clerks, stenographers, and bookkeepers are not available. The office force is exhibiting some of that splendid loyalty that is a part of every Negro. Great increase in business with a colored concern of this size is of more than passing significance. It means increase openings for our young men and women trained for commercial pursuits. It provides an avenue through which the theoretically educated graduate may pass to executive position or to a private business in later years with the corporate knowledge that has heretofore been available to white persons to the almost total exclusion of our boys. This company is obliged to increase the quantity of printed matter used in their business, thus directly effecting an increase in the several printing establishments of the race that supplies their needs. A burden of debt, shouldered at the close of the Civil war, has, unintentionally been lifted from the shoulders of the race, and the collective Negro has his first opportunity at the unrestricted handling of money.

They are enabled to build better homes and usurious lenders of the other race. In these features, the Standard typifies the improved condition of the south. Other insurance companies and commercial houses are obtaining results that differ in degree only. The manitude of the Standard makes it a most striking illustration of the far-reaching effects of the present economic condition upon the general welfare of the race. In 1912 this, the first old line Negro reserve insurance company in America began business with a capitol of $100,000. During its first year, $380,000 worth of insurance was put in force. Since then its growth has been rapid though steady. Notwithstanding the rigid selection of risks that is part of the company's policy, the end of their fifth year, July 1, 1917, found them with more than $4,000,000 worth of insurance in force. The assets having increased meanwhile to $289,000. The home office of two persons and one small room has expanded so that the Tithe Clock records thirty persons, and a whole floor of the race's largest office building, the Odd Fellows' building, is necessary to the conduct of the company's affairs. Since July 1st, nearly a million dollars of additional insurance has been placed in the nine states in which the company operates. More than three hundred agents share in handling this business. According to the information collected by the company's staff of district reporters this, substantiated by the volume of insurance written and further confined by the character of investment in firms reaching the treasurer's office, the present year is a most significant one to the race.

SEPARATE PARADE The two parades of Monday, one by the Negro school children and the other by the white school children, were truly a show of littleness on the part of those who were the promoters of the demonstration. The displays, both that of the Negro children and that of the white children, were for one and the same purpose, a boost for the Liberty Bond Loan, and there was no reason for the two separate parades. The commonness of America's cause today is felt by both black and white alike and any demonstration in behalf of our country's mighty effort to assist in bringing about world freedom should be participated in by both Negroes and whites together in one great big unprejudiced display rather than in the narrow spirit of the promoters of last Monday's parades in which the which children were ordered to parade on one side of the town and the Negro children on the other. The oneness of our country's stand at this critical period should have been uppermost in the minds of those who conceived the idea of this demonstration instead of the studied effort to show a division. How much more broad minded were the promoters of the Red Cross demonstration the following evening when the Negro members were invited to march with their white co-workers in one grand parade than those who were in charge of the school children's parade. STRIPES AND STRAPS Over six hundred regularly commissioned Negro army officers of varying ranks, are today to be seen in the streets of our nation. What a new experience for all of us this is! How unusual, both for those who wear the insignia and for us who behold them! The transition has been sudden and smooth, but there is a strangeness of feeling and sensation in the newness. We sent into the services of the nation at Des Moines the very flower of American Negro youth. We winnowed our ranks for the first fruits of Negro scholarship and physical and moral manhood to lay it upon the altar of American military service. We have been singularly blessed and justified and electrified at their splendid showing under the gruelling and stressing experiences to which they were put. These severe tests were physical, moral and mental, and only the sound in physique, the pure in spirit and the alert of mind can survive them. There are millions of happy hearts in the race today, because the victory at Des Moines is fraught with so great significance and such limitless possibility. Who can conjecture or fore-shadow the myriad and momentous events of an immediate and uncertain future? What grave, yet glorious opportunity may yet await Negro arms in this mighty maelstrom of clashing arms, of dying men, of shrieking and starving women and children? Who doubts that the new Negro has the temper and prowess to bring added lustre to the glorious past of Negro soldiery and patriotism? In the horizon of the great world of warring nations the word opportunity is written clearly. And does not that opportunity open up alike to Negro boys and white alike, who have volunteered under the stars and stripes to save the world and civilization? Ours is a solenin, if pardonable, pride in our youth because their vision is what it should be, and their minds, bodies and souls are in perfect harmony of purpose, in a struggle whose goal is worthy beyond estimate. Ware chapel, at Atlanta University, must have had its biggest day last Thursday, when a score of young Negro officers, every one trained at that shrine, walked with martial tread, military air and official military dress into that august setting of teachers and students. It must have been an occasion inspiring beyond description, much like the return of conquering Spartan heroes of ancient years. The spirit of the university must have been high in the exhilation of success, in the crowning answer to its prayers and the glory of its achievements. The abundant success of this particular group puts a high premium upon best education and justifies the unwavering stand of the few such schools for the higher training for Negroes. We shall honor these officers and salute them with becoming deference for surely "these are they which came through great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING" The reports of Negroes being whipped or otherwise intimidated in certain sections of the state because they have been frugal enough to purchase automobiles, should not receive widespread notoriety through the newspapers or through the too gibb commenting persons who, anxious to be seen in the print, seize upon the slightest provocation to break out with "Please allow me space in your valuable columns, etc." Prehaps a few crackers, chafe under the prosperity and well-doing of their Negro neighbors and show up badly in industry by contrast. This cannot be helped. It is to be expected. All these do not resort to violence and vandalism, however, but most of them go along, hearing their envy silently if no other ontoward occasion or accident provides excuse for the breaking out of their spleen. The cases in Crawford and Houston counties are but isolated instances, and do not exemplify the attitude of the great masses of Georgia people who are gratified at the industry and thrift of their Negro neighbors. There is a certain sort of discussion which, it given to this will cause other ruffians of like character to make outbreaks against prosperous Negroes. There should be very little made of isolated and disconnected wrongs of this sort. Newspapers and anxious leaders should refrain from circulating or capitalizing "stories" of this kind for often they add to the fury or spread the flame to places where it is not but where it finds ready fuel. Our zealous stage-players must, be more original if they would serve the people well. Put into the minds of the reading public elevating news, exciting if you choose, and sensational, but let it be inspiring. Don't dwell eternally in the realm of complaining, conceding, and begging. Newspapers, will often publish any reasonable news furnished by correspondents or subscribers, even, without question of its authenticity. They just as often refuse to publish good news and worthy news, without cause. Those who love to write to newspapers from the standpoint of the public-spirited, altruistic citizen, bearing the burden of the city's well-being and travail of their people upon their hearts, should be mindful of the dire results which may come of their thoughtlessness, and how their empty vanity may be capitalized. Let the isolated cases of discrimination and meanness die, certainly without our contributing to their publicity and notoriety. More Negroes will buy automobiles as a result of the incident, and Negroes in the vicinity of that trouble will continue to buy them and ride in them, too. It is their privilege and they know it. Very few Negroes are going to consult their white neighbors on the advisability of their investing in automobiles when they find themselves able to afford them. Let us turn our energies to magnifying our opportunities and toward securing others, and let us look upon the privileges and benefits of free civilization, not as the young child upon the new whistle, but as the law abiding citizen upon the ordinary and usual prerogatives of freemen. OUR WOMEN OF THE RED CROSS The showing made by the colored women's division of the Red Cross in the Liberty Bond Parade of last Tuesday was an interesting commentary on the vision and loyalty of our splendid women. The spectacle was splendid and becoming them. They are extremely worthy citizens and we like to feel that they represented us on that auspacious and inspiring occasion. Their success was significant and far-reaching and doubtless provided subject-matter for lots of interesting comment which will not even come to the surface. We felt the thrill of pride, the full joy of achieving something worth while and the deep sense of unalloyed patriotism for the worthy contribution of our people to the cause of a nation. Were called all the glorious past, remembered that we have just sent thousands of red-blooded youngsters to the front, recounted that we have just furnished over six hundred officers to the National Army, and, above all, that we were now offering our choicest possession, our women, upon the altar of the Nation. The charming spectacle, the associated sensation, the broad vision of still broader possibilities, was sufficient to stir the emotions of the most apathetic. We felt the spirit of patriotism and nationalism like we have never felt it before. ness, and to impell us to "set ourselves in order." We have been sufficiently co-operative and united in material endeavor to succeed in a wide variety of businesses, certainly to the extent that can see that the trouble is not the But we lack unanimity on what constitutes the just and proper consideration of our people from the people other races. Some of us are so slaved to custom, so reconciled minor abuses and impositions, that do not expect respectful treatment for the outside. Jew and Greek, German and Barbarian with equal indifference, The personality, the grace, the comely gait, as much as the high purpose for which their procession stood, commanded for these excellent women an unaccustomed honor and tribute. More and more, as we have several times pointed out, we must participate in all the enterprises and engagements of the nation, and shoulder our portion of the grave responsibilities and sacred duties which devolve upon the full-fledged citizen under free government, its appointments and institutions. "Who would be free, himself must strike the first blow." Moreover we do not ever need to compromise ourselves or embarrass those we represent, in participating in the affairs of government or accepting its responsibilities and obligations. We need not be called upon to sacrifice any principle or to put ourselves in contempt before our neighbors and before the world. These are the heritages and fruits of dishonesty and weakness. Due self-reverence and self-respect will eventually achieve richer and more enduring rewards than truckling and deception. We have got to come to the place where we can look the world in the face out of honest and courageous eyes. Just as we have got to overcome bigotry, selfishness and love of conspicuousness. We are never offensive and never reprehensible, even to the most unthinking fee, when we exhibit a respectable uprightness and manliness. Our women of the Red Cross have pursued this course from the very inception of their organization when they insisted on a definite, just and proper relationship with the nation-wide parent organization. If they had accepted less, they would have been lacking in that self-reverence and self-respect of which we have spoken. They would have been unworthy of the rest of us. The Negro woman offers the critical and delicate problem in race adjustments and race relationships. She has got to "make good", or the struggle for ascendancy is lost already. According us our women shall command rerespect for character, their cultural power and initiative, just in that degree will the whole people move onward and forward toward full emancipation. The Red Cross field of service offers an unparalleled opportunity for our women to prove their mettle. Here have they the chance to give the nation a definite and emphatic impression and opinion of their worth to our civilization. We have the faith that their rating will be such as to make us proud. Ladies, we doff our hats. "ONE THING THOU LACKEST" Time and experience have shown that education, the accumulation of property, the development of character, the establishment of business, the achievement of success in the arts, sciences and professions—certainly in the case of the Negro race—all these have failed to win for us the status of respectability in present day civilization for which all thinking colored men and women yearn. All the above things have we done from emancipation up to date, in the hope that thru achievement we should reach a position wherein this nation, other nations and the whole earth respected us. We have been disappointed, however, for we are still without the rights and privileges and protection of free citizens, with only the prerogative of petition and request for the ordinary considerations of free government—securing what public benefits we enjoy through sympathy, tolerance and political accident. It is beginning to dawn upon those of us who chafe under oppression, disfranchisement and wrong that there is still something lacking in the makeup of the race which the race, itself, may supply to meet our difficulties and attain our desires. There is doubtless some constitutional defect or difference which marks us as a peculiar and distinct people, or there would be some other people in the same attitude before the world as we. From the attitude of other peoples, we must be different, either as to condition or temperment, from the other races of the earth. "One Thing Thou Lackest"—adown the vista of the ages runs this remarkable criticism to bring us to the realization of our status in civilization, to impress us with the urgency of searching ourselves for our type weak ness, and to impell us to "set our selves in order." We have been sufficiently co-operative and united in material endenovors to succeed in a wide variety of businesses, certainly to the extent that we can see that the trouble is not there. But we lack unanimity on what constitutes the just and proper consideration of our people from the people of other races. Some of us are so enslaved to custom, so reconciled to minor abuses and impositions, that we do not expect respectful treatment from the outside. Jew and Greek, Gentile and Barbarian with equal indifference and immunity, deal with us as an entity unworthy of serious thought, unable to demand fairness and justice for ourselves. There is doubtless serious division amongst our people on what constitutes respectful treatment of our people on the part of our neighbors, whites and others. We have in our midst a class of people upon whom any species of ridicule, jest, joke or tale, reflecting directly on the race, may be played or perpetrated by an outsider, without objection or dissent. Some of us join in the laugh of derision. We have a class of people, who tho under no obligation, yet will spend all their money where they get little consideration, and often mistreatment. We have a class of people, who, for a sort of affected cordiality and congeniality, will turn their pockets wrong side out on the counters. We have that class amongst us who pay higher prices for the privilege of being identified with certain business places and business men. We have that class of men, contemptuous, despicable and unworthy characters, who longing to be regarded as sponsors for all the institutions and all the conduct of our people, will on every occasion, "sell out" and seduce the character and interests of our race, whose strength with our people, unnatural enough, lies solely in newspaper notoriety and compliment from those whose interests they serve at the sacrifice of their own people. These last we have, every where, in too great abundance,—lick-spittles, men of "large professions" and claims, but of "little deeds," who "seek the bubble reputation." Whose lives are empty and whose basis is thin air. This latter class of our people are the most damnable and damaging. They are "like a mill-stone hung about the neck" of a race trying to get its head above water, and the pity is that the rank and file of our people are unable to distinguish them from real men because they wear sheep's clothing. Watch the newspapers for this gallery-player of great claims and loud declarations of unselfish interests. Then raise the veil behind his notoriety and examine his "works", and you find the epitome of self-seeking and selfishness. Let's unhorse him. Let's investigate his great claim. Let's call on him to render an account of his stewardship. We can well get along without these people and we must. We must, somehow, silence them. We must be positive and assertive, where principle—the eternal principle of justice is at stake, and, every where, all the time, stand for full citizenship recognition and respect. We do not need to be boastful or unduly sensitive. We do not mean that at all. On the other hand, we have always championed and advised respectability, reliability and industry amongst our people. What respect and consideration members of the race do enjoy is paid to citizenship ideals—not specifically to the personality, but to the righteous principles of which such personality is representative. Surely, "One Thing Though Lackest." Let us get busy and "be born again" in this regard. PETITION FOR INCORPORATION State of Georgia, County of Chatham.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY OCTOBER 27, 1917 J. M. PROPHET, AGENT GUARANTY MUTUAL HEALTH AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY MAKES UNPRECEDENTED COLLECTION—WINS CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENTIRE STATE BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Butler Presbyterian Church, Rev. T. Redd, pastor. At the morning hoc the text was "But seek ye first B In a letter to his patrons Mr. Prophet gives an itemized statement of his collections by days and thanks them all for their liberal contribution to his success. His letter follows: Savannah, Ga., Oct. 20, 1917 Dear Patrons:- I feel very grateful to you for the liberal response you made to my request. No better thing could be done to show appreciation of my services to you as agent of an insurance company, and nothing could have been done by you that binds me closer to you than the splendid effort you put forth to have me win the "First Prize" and the state championship of my company. I believe you were patriotic. I was confident of your support. Hence I had faith that I would win out in the con- A. test because of your patriotism and my confidence and labor. Again, let me thank all of you for the splendid response to my request and at the same time let me pledge to your deep interest in you and better service to you as your agent. Respectfully. Mr. Prophet's work shows the possibilities of a real insurance man—a man who is willing to work for results. His daily collections for the week following Oct. 8, 1917, are as follows on a debit of $103.30: Monday ..... $110.00 Tuesday ..... 80.00 Wednesday ..... 50.00 Thursday ..... 28.00 Friday ..... 44.90 Office ..... 10.60 Total.....$122.50 On a debit of $103.30. Mr. Prophet made 314 per cent., thus making a record not only for the Guaranty Mutual, but for any insurance company in the state, taking all things in consideration. There have been tremendous collections of industrial insurance premiums in contests of the nature that brought his wonderful and matchless result, bigger percentage on smaller debits may have been collected. But, upon a well balanced debit with a back balance less than the debit and with a debit over $100.00, there has been nothing to conal it. It is an admitted fact among the agents that Mr. Prophet is a real insuranceman—one who plans his figures and figures his plans. He is a creator of methods which evolve into laws both safe and sure. By his methods he has established rule which work for the good of self, other agents and the company. The Guaranty Mutual Insurance Company feels justly proud of the accomplishment of this agent and of the splendid array of men of the agent force whose labors make possible the marked progress of the company in the city and throughout the state of Georgia.

Lindsay Every movement started in this community for the benefit and mutual helpfulness of members of the race, the preamotors of such movements, as they have a perfect right to do, call on all of the Negro business men, and especially the ones connected with the industrial insurance fraternity to lend their aid to the pushing forward of their project. This is exactly as it should be, as the progressive Negro has long since learned, that to a limited degree, he is his brothers keeper. If there ever lived a people on all the faces of the globe whose highest aim should be that of mutual helpfulness, we here and now make bold to say that that people is the American Negro, of the present day. The peculiula condition in this country, which conditions are not of the Negro's making, but on the contrary, were made by the other fellow, forces us to the point of honestly believing the time is now ripe for the Negro to pool his interests and let the world know that he is on the alert and is prepared to tote his own skillet, and given a chance, will land it in absolute safety. Negroes everywhere should make it a part of their daily business to inform some insiguided member of the race respecting some of the latent possibilities which are in easy reach of the race, which can and will be used for his highest and best good when we shall have practiced just a little more of the art of concentrating our forces and the pooling of our interests. Some man has said, getting together is an art, which carries with it as much significance as the representative of one of the great world powers who掌握 the interests of his country at the head of some great national government, and a diplomat or minister. It is absolutely important that our people are themselves in the matter of getting close together and mutually understanding one another. With the proper concentration of the efforts of the men of the race at this time, the class of men who have the ability to bring things to pass, the race as a whole will be helped and benefited, as perhaps never before since our forefathers were landed at Jamestown, nearly three hundred years ago. There should never be a whole day pass but that some member of the race should not get some helpful information, regarding how imperative it is for Negroes to trade and do business with each other. Once in a great while, one will hear some monumental mass of ignorance and down-right prejudice and deviltry, such as the Associated Press gave to the civilized world on last Sunday morning, concerning the southern, Negro's best friends (?) as represented by those high class, civilized Christian gentlemen (?) in the counties of Houston and Crawford, who took it upon themselves to see to it that "niggers" do not ride in automobiles. "These offenses must need come" says the lowly Nazarene, "but woe unto him by whom they come." Prejudice and ignorance, like the poor, we have had with us always, and will continue to have them so long as time lasts. But when our spread circle orators tell us with their fiery cloquence that the Negro's best friends are here in the south, and when our great influential dailles ask the representative ones among us to use whatever little influence we may have with our own unfortunate people of the rural districts to remain on the farms, and in the face of such low-down devilty and down-right meanness, as those cultured and refined gentlemen (?) saw fit to perpetrate upon an unoffensive, helpless, law-abiding people, such as is the reputation of the hard working Negroes of Crawford and Houston counties. I say, it is indeed, hard for the thinking Negroes to feel that the great white orators and the influential daily papers are sincere in the doctrines which they preach, as they seem to preach one doctrine to Negro audiences and practice altogether another wherever and whenever a white man is pitted against a Negro, no matter what charges may be. Let Negro men and women everywhere remember, the way to get the sweetness out of a rose, is to crush it. These back-woods Negro-haters do not realize what they are doing. They do not realize that they are building larger and better enterprises for the race. They seem to be too ignorant to realize for every one Negro whom they can terrorize, brow-heat, intimidate and cause to give away or sell at half price his automobile, that three other manly Negroes will put machines in the place of the single one which they caused the one terrorized Negro to give away or sell at half price. Again, "these offenses must come, woe unto him by whom they come." In methods of ignorance and intimidation set the Negro term ton counties, have done more toward driving the Negro from his southern home to the far west, north and east, than all of the other evil agencies directed against the Negro combined. The high-class, educated white men, in communities where such ignorance and prejudice abounds, as are seen in these counties, if they would conserve their Negro labor to pitch and gather their crops, must come out in the open and take a stand, and prove to the Negro that "hoorahs and riff-raffs" are not the ruling elements, but on the contrary, be made to respect the law as other law-abiding citizens, be they white or black.

Chisholm Such is the title of a notable biography, highly to be commended not only for the author's notable endeavor to put Booker T. Washington on the seat up front in American history, but for his rich, fascinating material and the quality of its presentation. The book is delightfully and accurately written and is very easy to read. It is profusely and appropriately illustrated. This book should appeal especially to the people of Boston and Massachusetts and New England, as the subject of it and his work at Tuskegee were loyally and generously supported by the citizens of this section. Besides, one of the writers is the grandson of Harriet Beecher Stowe, a daughter of Connecticut, whose "Uncle Tom's Cabin" had so direct and practical an influence on the abolition of slavery. Selected by Mr. Washington himself as eminently fit to perform their task, the writers are Emmett J. Scott, for eighteen years the intimate friend and confidential secretary to Mr. Washington, and Lyman Beecher Stowe, an experienced and trained writer whose sympathy with the Negro an his problems makes him peculiarly fitted for this work. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Mr. Washington's successor, gives an appropriate foreword. Ex-president Roosevelt, who wrote the forceful preface to the book says; "As nearly as any man I have ever met, Booker T. Washington lived up to Micah's verse. What more doth the Lord require of thee than to do justice and to love Mercy and Walk humbly with thy God.'". Colonel Roosevelt points that the spirit of Booker T. Washington was the spirit of service, of justice for his fellowman. He also suggests that "No retaliation" was Booker Washington's motto; that his was always the benevolent attitude towards the black man and the white man, the man in the North and the man in the South. Each of the twelve chapters in the book is itself a treatment of some distant achievement of Mr. Washington. They deal with the making of Tuskegee, the leadership of Mr. Washington, his attitude on the rights of the Negro, overcoming race prejudice, how he taught Negroes to co-operate, organizing the Negro in business, working with the Negro farmer, the successful raising of large sums of money, his skill as an executive, and finally a discussion of his personality. The facts in Mr. Washington's life are so skillfully handled that they form a frame work from which the characteristics of the man—his kindly spirit, his optimism, his tact, his determination, his patience, his simplicity, his skill in surmounting difficulties, his policy of fair play and his keen sense of humor—stand out boldly. Some of the humorous stories illustrating his delightful use of Negro dialect and his faculty of keen penetration into human character are told in a way that makes us feel that we are again listening to Mr. Washington himself. One of the most interesting features of the book is the revelation for the first time of the large amount of delightful and confidential correspondence that went on between Mr. Washington and the leading men of the country, high officials, philanthropists, publishers, educators, and especially that between himself and ex-President Rooserelt. One is very much impressed by the names of the men who were Mr. Washington's friends and helpers. A list of these names alone is enough to "characterize the man." Some of them were, Dr. H. B. Frissell of Humphrey. Andrew Carnegie, Theodore Roosevelt, Robert C. Odgen, William H. Baldwin, Jr., John Wanamaker, Seth Low, William G. Willcox, Julius Rosenwald, and Charles D. Mason. Mr. Washington paid his friend and helped a tribute when he said: "Nobody but strong man will endure the public crit THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY OCTOBER 27, 1917 Is the friend of a weak and un-popular race." Throughout the book, one seems to draw very near to Mr. Washington and at close range to see him at his work at the school, in the shop, in the classroom, or on the farm, or to see him conversing freely with his farmer friends, and learning at first-hand, as he preferred to do, the opinions and wishes of the great masses who were the agricultural and business foundation of his empire of race-building. The personality of Mr. Washington pervades the entire work, his democracy, his fine spirit of humanity and his love for the common people is evidently supported throughout the book. Those who had the opportunity of viewing the man from the human side will begin to understand, after reading the book, something of the reason for the intense love and devotion which he inspired in the plain people. After such a close view of this great character, one takes with his the picture of a man of action, a constructive pedagogist, an organizing genius, a real "builder of civilization." The book should be owned and read by every black man, woman and child in the United States. It is published by Dury, Page & Co., Garden City, N. X. Price $2.00 net. Or may be secured from Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Boston Chronicle. Mr. Chisholm is a former Savannahian, who is now living in Boston, Mass. He is northern secretary of Tuskegee Institute. FOOT BALL AT LINCOLN UNIY. By W. M. Rogers, '19z Football enthusiasts at Lincoln are once more expecting the old Orange and Blue to be recognized as the swiftest squad on the grid-iron this fall. Under the magnificent coaching of "Kid" Collins, the 1911-12 "Phenomen" the team has shown wonderful improvement. After the game on the 13th with Langston A. C. of Chester, Pa., in which Lincoln was the victor, the big squad is ready for the annual classics which takes place on the campus, November 3rd, against Howard University. The old spirit seemed to be revived when Dick Bennett, appeared on the gridiron to repeat the feat of which he is credited with having accomplished in 1917 when he made Lincoln's first touchdown against Howard. A multitude of cheers ascended to the celestial skys when "Big Jimmy" Jamison '07 returned to the grid iron to help put his alma mater again in the spotlight.

Patriotism profits too. Many young men whose labor is no longer necessary to maintain the home are volunteering, an average of 50 Negroes per day are volunteering in Georgia alone. Furthermore, every school in the South is reporting an increased attendance, with a smaller percentage of improvident pupils. This seems to assure us of a desirable progressiveness in character and training of those who are to control the destinies f the next generation. This great increase of self-sustaining pupils is making it possible for the schools of the South to extend their usefulness by improving equipment, increasing faculties, and to finance new building. The people of the respective communities open wider the door of hospitality to visiting demonstrators and lecturers, thus giving greater range to extension work. Prosperity relieves of self-consciousness, and the neighborhood mind is more open to new ideas and educational overtures. Already and more practical interest in county fair exhibits rather than amusements is noticeable. Nor is the usually accredited rowdyism in evidence that has always been proclaimed as the inevitable attribute of the Negro with money. The whole matter resolves itself into a demonstration that all the Negro requires is the release from the handicap of prejudice, and he will develop every element essential to civilization and progress, for, after all, the great responsibility of life is to serve, serve, and provide for posterity.
