The Savannah Tribune. Interesting News Of The Nation's Capitol EMMETT SCOTT INSISTS NE GRO MEN GET A SHARE General Ballou Proud of Record Negro Officers are Making Washington, D. C., Feb 13—Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, is one of the busiest men connected with the federal service. His office is room 237, War Department building, is filled throughout each day with callers whose missions run the gamut of human desire. Mr. Scott has been an active participant in two very important conferences within the past few days. The first had to do with the part the colored man is to play in the industrial plans of the army. Opportunities are to be given young white men to equip themselves for the higher lines of technical work and large sums under a Federal Board of Vocational Education. Mr. Scott is rightly insisting that the young colored men of the army be granted a share in this work and that an adequate portion of the appropriation be set side for the training of the Negro in the vocational arts essential to the winning of the present war. The second conference bore upon the readjustment of the relations between the colored-working man and the American Federation of Labor in the light of the new industrial conditions which the country is now facing. At this conference, Samuel Gompers, president of the A. F. of L. presided, and Secretary Frank A. Morrison was prominent in the discussion. In addition to Mr. Scott, there were called into this committee of the Federation of Labor Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute and George W. Harris, editor of the New York News. The representations and claims of these well-posted race leaders were listened to with the closest attention and it is expected that results beneficial to the craftsmen and the rank and file of our people will flow out of the frank and comprehensive examination that this commission is giving the problem of labor and our relation to the nation's most powerful labor organization. Miss Phyllis Wheatley Waters, the gifted daughter of Col. and Mrs. Phil. Waters of Charleston, W. Va., was recently appointed instructor in French at Howard University. It is to be regretted, however, that Miss Waters has been compelled to decline the assignment, for the reason that she is under contract as associate principal of the high school at Gary, Ind. Miss Waters is an honor graduate of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. She enjoys the distinction of being the first colored girl in the history of the University of Michigan to win her letters in athletics, and she was no less proficient in her scholastic triumphs. ```markdown ``` The National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee is now an incorporated body with Prof. Kelly Miller as president; J. C. Napier, as treasurer and Mr. Ralph W. Taylor, as general secretary and in charge of the active direction of the work of the organization. An urgent appeal is being made by the colored men and women of every community in the country to immediately organize branch committees to work under its supervision to aid in raising the necessary fund to provide for the relief of the needy dependents of colored soldiers. Already in many communities the good and sympathetic women of the race have organized and are bustling to raise funds. The Mu-So-Lit Club held its annual observance of "Lincoln-Douglas Day" last Friday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Judge Robert H. Terrell gave a graphic review of "Lincoln as an Orator," and Prof. Charles M. Thomas, of the Dunbar High School, took the life and labors of Frederick Douglass as the basis of a practical address on "The Value of Ideals in Race Development." Major-General C. C. Ballou, commander of the 92nd division, U. S. A., with headquarters at Camp Funston, Kans., was at Camp Meade last Thursday on a visit of inspection of the troops of his command stationed at this cantonment. Gen. Ballou is the commanding general of the only division of colored soldiers of the national army, two regiments of which, the 368th Infantry and the 351st heavy artillery, are stationed at Camp Meade for training purposes.

INTERESTING MEETING AT WHITE BLUFF Tuesday afternoon, February 12, the regular monthly meeting of the White Bluff Canning Club was held at the home of Mrs. Willie Figgueras. There were twenty members present including the three new members that joined the club.

Mr. Webb's thorough knowledge of the business will doubtless attract an abundance of work to his shop. For several years Mr. Webb was the mechanic at Howard's garage. DEDICATORY EXER- The dedicatory exercises at the Haven Home school, near Sandfly, which were to be held Monday, have been postponed to a suitable date during the month of May. The change has been caused because of the fact that Bishop Thnerkeld who was to deliver the address has been called to Mexico to take the place of Bishop McDonald who has gone to France. ACTRESS DIES Joanell Perry, who up to the time of her illness, a few weeks ago, was a member of the Bruce and Bruce Jazz Players, which has played two engagements at the Monogram theatre during the present season, died of pneumonia at Cook County hospital on Monday morning, February 4th.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY FEB. 16, 1918 Jimmie Blair Of This City And Andrew Waters of Baltimore May Have Drowned Jimmie Blair Of This City And Andrew Waters of Baltimore May Have Drowned MEN HAVE NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE AUTO DIVED INTO THE RIVER EARLY TUESDAY MORNING BEFORE LAST Drowned Chauffeur and Rescued White Marine the Only Two Accounted for of the Party of Four Occupying Ill-fated Machine Since the fatal plunge of an automobile into the Savannah river at the foot of West Broad street garly Tuesday evening of last week in which there were supposed to have been two other persons besides the chauffeur, Ed. Nelson, whose body has been recovered and a white United States marine, the only surviving member of the party, there have been two young men missing and it is thought that they were the other occupants of the ill-fated car. The two men, are Jimmie Blair of this city and Andrew Waters of Baltimore, Md., waiters on the steamship City of St. Louis, running between this city and New York. They were last seen on the east side about 1 o'clock the morning the car dived into the river, and were headed across to the Union Station where they went to hire a machine to carry them to the steamer. It has since been learned that Blair was in the habit for the past two months of taking the dead chauffeur's car whenever he hired a machine at the station. Just before reaching the station there was a third waiter along but he stopped and when he arrived at the station the other two rived at the station the otehr two were not to be found. He reasoned that they had secured the car and gone on to the steamer so he hired a hack and the next morning upon awakening went to call the two men he was with the previous night, but found them missing. Calls were made to the police barracks, the hospitals and the various places throughout the city where Blair frequented but without finding any trace of him or his companion. The ship sailed that afternoon for New York and upon returning here Tuesday another search was made for them. When the ship arrived in New York Mrs. Blair, who was there with her husband was informed of her husbands disappearance. After wiring his relatives here and becoming alarmed at receiving no satisfactory reply as to Mr. Blair's whereabouts, she departed for this city and arrived here Tuesday noon. She informed the po- Five Dollars For The Best Letter ON DISCUSSION OF NEGRO BUSINESS METHODS Contest Opened to Everyone and Letters Must Not Exceed 300 Words Tuskegee, Ala.—Very shortly there will appear in the colored newspapers a series of short articles entitled "Business League Boosters." As the title suggests, the discussions will be confined to matters such as, advertising, selling, business methods, and other subjects of interest to National Negro Business League, members and business men generally. In order to secure the very best material for this series, I am asking the readers of this paper to write me a letter relating some interesting experiences they have had in dealing with Negro merchants. If the letters are praise; all the better, but if it is necessary to criticise, do so, but be sure that the criticism is wholly confined to an experience which exhibits some principle in merchandising. If letters are critical, please avoid names as far as expedient without sacrificing clarity. All letters must be signed but names of writers will not be published without their written consent. The contest is open to everyone and there are no conditions except that the letter should not exceed 300 words and should be in my hands any time before March 20th. For the best and most interesting letter submitted the sum of $5.00 will be sent to the writer. Address your letter to: Albon L. Holsey, Asst. Secy., National Negro Business League, Tuskegee Inst., Ala. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs. Rachel Collins announces the marriage of her daughter Miss Della O. Stewart, to Mr. James Davis, at her residence 615 E. 35th street, Feb. 0. lice of the disappearance of her husband and asked that they make an effort to locate him. She then sought information from the watchman at the plant of the Savannah Electric Company, situated at the spot where the car went overboard and learned from him that two other men were in the car instead of two men and two women, as was reported by the marine. Immediately plans were made by the waiters to have the river dragged for the bodies and as a result the overcoat of the chauffeur and a cushion of the car were brought up but up to yesterday noon no trace of the two missing men was found. The fact that Mr. Blair always notified his wife by card when ever it was certain that the ship would be late in leaving here and she failed to get word from him this time makes it appear more certain that he and his companion were in the ill-fated machine. Mr. Blair who is the brother of Mr. W. H. Blair of this city, had been running on the St. Louis for about three years. Mr. Waters who lived in Baltimore, street and number and relatives unknown, had only made two trips on the steamer. While the accident appears more and more mysterious, yet indications point stronger each day that the white marine and not Nelson, the chauffeur, was driving the car and mistook the river for the roadway. Yesterday a representative of The Tribune endeavored to ascertain whether or not the steamship company had tried to find out from its Baltimore office anything about Waters but could learn nothing. A watchman at the Savannah Electric Company stated to Mrs. Blair that he saw two men's hats floating about in the river near the spot where the machine went over board. This clue seems to further emphasize the fact that men and no women at all were occupants of the car. The chauffeur's body was taken to South Carolina last Saturday for burial. The marine is being held by the United States authorities at the naval station. Social Clubs Celebrate Lincoln Birthday PROF. R. W. GADSDEN DELIVERS IMPRESSIVE EULOGY Girl Scouts in Dress Parade Uniform Make Beautiful Showing A large audience witnessed the splendid parade and the interesting exercises held by the Social Clubs Union at St. John Baptist church on the occasion of Lincoln's birthday. The splendid parade formed at West Broad and Gwinnett streets and followed its band to St. John church. The unique feature of the parade was the great showing of the Girl Scouts, who did some excellent drilling and maneuvers. The address of Prof. R. W. Gadsden, was a fitting and illuminating testimonial to the magnificent personality and greatness of the lamented Lincoln whose sacrificing life represented so well the unlimited possibilities of American life. Remarks and short addresses were made by Rev. Wm. Gray, Marshal Jake Wright, chairman John Preston, Mr. Peter Bowen and Col. Henry Wilson, president of the union. It was unanimously voted to publish, at the Union's expense the splendid address of Prof. Gadsden which will appear next week. The warmth of welcome extended by by the pastor, officers and members of St. John, the beauty and cheer of their excellent sanctuary and the charming music by the choir, all contributed to the success of the occasion. Atty. J. G. Lemon acted as master of ceremonies. A·DAUGHTER On February 13th the home of Prof. and Mrs. S. A. Grant was blessed with a daughter. Both mother and baby are doing well. DEATH OF THE FIRST COLORED OFFICER AT CAMP DODGE Lieutenant Carter N. Brown Falls a Victim to Pneumonia First Lieutenant Carter N. Brown died at the base hospital at Camp Dodge on Tuesday night, February 5. Cause of death was pneumonia. Lieut. Brown was born in Mobile, Ala., September 28, 1893, was educated at Atlanta University, Ga. He was connected with the Standard Life Insurance Co., of Atlanta, and only resigned his position to enter the officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines later receiving the commission of first lieutenant. During his entire stay at Fort Des Moines and Camp Dodge he carried himself in an exemplary manner and won many loyal friends. He was also loved by every one who came in contact with him in Atlanta. The saddest feature about his passing is that he was to have been married the first of February, but it was delayed on account of his illness. Lieut. Brown was a member of the First Congregational church Atlanta, Ga., of which Rev. Proctor is pastor. The bereaved family have the deepest heartfelt sympathy of all who knew him in Des Moines. Short funeral services were held at Harbach's undertaking chapel, conducted by Chaplain Newman of the 366th infantry, assisted by Lieut. Bondrant, and remains were shipped to Mobile on Thursday evening, February 7th, accompanied by First Lieut. Shaw—Bystander. COL CHEEVER TALKS OF NEGRO RECRUITS The following is the comment of Col. Cheever, local recruiting officer, on the Negro recruits recently received at his office: "The cleanest-cut, neatest-appearing and all-round best looking bunch of colored recruits ever sent away from this station in my experience" was the highly complimentary remarks upon eight colored men who enlisted in the engineering and signal corps of the United States Army and were accepted at the main district recruiting station in Savannah, Ga., on Tuesday by Lieut-Col. B. II. Cheever, the recruiting officer in charge of this district. Col. Cheever said that he had never seen a better bunch of colored men enter the army during his long experience. The men who composed the squad he was speaking of were the following; John W. Bass, Savannah, Miller Young, West Savannah, Launcelot J. Norton, Charleston, S. C.; Jesse Lee, Leesville, S. C.; James Richards, Savannah; Frank Lowry, Bennettsville, S. C.; Gibson V. Townes, Pendleton, S. C.; and Fred Sales, Columbia, S. C. "We seem to be getting the cream of the colored race in the army at the present time," Col. Cheever said in conversation on the day these men joined the colors, "and it is a source of much pleasure to me to see the commendable spirit of patriotism which prevails among the colored people of South Carolina and Georgia. The eight men who enlisted today were sent to Columbus Barracks, Ohio, for training. Hereafter, we may accept colored applicants only for the stevedore regiments, sending them to Fort Serlven, Ga. I feel sure that the unusually large number of colored men enlisting daily will continue in the future as in the past few weeks, for stevedores have wonderful opportunities afforded those who enter them, the pay is splendid, the chances of promotion exceptional and the living conditions are the best to be found. I have only good words for the colored people who are coming to the front and showing their patriotism at this time when their services are needed by their country. "All of this goes to show," Col Cheever concluded, "that the colored race grasps the idea of what this war means and of their duty to their country. MR. SMITHERMAN RESIGNS Mr. M. J. Smitherman who has for the past four years has had charge of the poultry department of the Ga. State College, recently resigned from that position to take charge of his father's farm at Dublin. Mr. Smitherman was one of the most popular young men on the faculty of the State College and his many friends here regret to have him leave the city. The farm which Mr. Smitherman has taken charge of consists of 350 acres. His place at the college is being filled by Mr. Arnett Gasten. NUMBER 24 Chatham Insurance Co.

PAGE TWO WHEN SPRING FASHIONS MAKE THEIR FIRST APPEARANCE About Braiding and Other Trimmings New York, Jan. 25—The shops are showing such bright hued frocks and suits, the materials are so gay and spring-like, one almost forgets the bitter cold weather we are having at the present time. It would seem that the very colors of the materials were doing their best to make us forget the gray war-clouds that hangs over us. If we must have clothes, let them at least be gay! Trimmings we can forego, wool be sparingly used, but the example of Paris, Paris in war-time, has shown us clearly where our duty lies. Never have there been such fascinatingly simple modes. Perhaps it is the coquette in the woman which makes it necessary for her to prove she is fascinating in calico as in velvet; perhaps the © MCCALL Simple Model, Developed in Foulard motive is a deeper one; at any rate there are new and becoming styles, styles that improve the appearance on account of their simplicity. Those who are going South are, of necessity, interested in thin materials and summery designs, but even stay-at-homes must plan ahead, and are glad to do si with the many modes and opportunities we have to study the matter of the spring wardrobe carefully and at length. Braiding Comes to the Front "The first lady of the land" is setting an example to American women everywhere. At the informal teas she has once or twice a week, her costumes © MCCALL. Overblouse and Skirt of Blue Jersey are the simplest and most effective. Soft crepes, crepe de Chines, or Georgette crepes are the favored materials for the most part, and every detail is carefully studied. Braiding is effectively used on these simple frocks. Braiding in narrow soutache, very flat and artistically arranged. Sometimes there are panels on the skirt, side panels with large designs placed near the hem. Sometimes the waist has braiding on the collar, with perhaps a touch of hand embroidery to enhance the effect. We look to Washington for our example in things of national importance, and we find our answer there. Clingingly feminine are the new modes, so the materials chosen must, of necessity, be soft and clinging. Foulard, crepe de Chiene and Japanese silks are the favorites. The designs in the foulards are rather more interesting than those of other years. The combinations of color, too, are more artistic, for America has devoted much time and study to dyes, and the results are very successful. The model illustrated here is of creamy-yellow foulard with a Chinese-blue figure in it. The interesting collar, buttoning onto the belt, and the old cuff arrangement are of the same shade of blue in heavy satin. The skirt is caught up in the back with two rather wide tucks to give the bustle effect. Pearls seem to be the most precious of jewels to the woman of fashion. She wears them with afternoon or evening dresses, and with those half-way affairs. As a rule the strands are long, coming below the the waistline, through the delineure little necklet of olden times gives an attractive touch to the decollete gown. There are no more "ball-gowns" those elaborate costumes of peace-times; evening gowns, of the type of the dinner-gown, of before the war, have taken their places. There seems to be no end to the uses of organdie. Of course, whole dresses are made of this crisp material, dresses for morning, afternoon and evening, depending on the way they are trimmed for their place in the fashionable wardrobe. Then, collars, cuffs and vestees have long been made of organdie. But this season it has advanced a step further into the ranks of trimmings for more formal costumes. Combined with velvet, it is found on stunning afternoon and semi-evening dresses. Sometimes there is a fly-away sash of vivid-hued organdie on the sombre satin frock, the collar and cuffs repeating the color of the sash. Sometimes the apron tunics are of organdie. In fact, organdie is a material to be reckoned with this season. It comes in the most wonderful colors, and the other day I saw a new organdie, printed in little gingham checks, used for trimming on a dress for southern wear. Overblouse for Sports Wear The overblouse has very many possibilities. At first the were made of sheer materials. Georgette crepe, chiffon, voles and so forth, and were worn with an appropriate skirt for the afternoon call, bridge or tea. Now that their charm and comfortableness has been discovered, they are being made for morning wear, both for the house and outdoor sports. Worn with a sensible skirt, it is most suitable for tennis and golf. The one illustrated here is most attractive and rather unusual, for it has a group of tucks under which the belt slips. The edges are bound with natural-colored chamois, a fitting contrast for the French-blue jersey used for the overblouse and skirt. The waist worn under an overblouse must be without frills, otherwise it may be as you please. GRAND MASTER GRAVES ADDRESS TO LODGES To the Subordinate Lodges of D. G. L. No. 18, Jurisdiction of Ga., G. U. O. of O. F., in America. Greetings- The Sub-Committee of Management having recognized the meeting held by those lodges in the state who are loyal to the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America and the S. C. M. its highest tribunal, it becomes my duty as District Grand Master of this Jurisdiction to inform you of our status. 1st. All lodges who were not present at the Dec. 1917 meeting are informed that provision has been made for them to return to the order by reconnecting themselves to the parent organization within the next five months. That is to say, those who have dropped out of their respective lodges and withheld their allegiance to the parent body, the S. C. M., on account of turmoil created by disturbers can return to the order by purging your ranks. of rebellious members and pay your percapita taxes to the S. C. M. and resume all obligations to the D. G. L. No. 18 of Ga., as was approved and promulgated by the S. C. M. January 1908. 2nd. This recognition restores and makes operative to those who do return all laws pertaining to endowment as was approved and promulgated by the S. C. M. January 1908. That is to say, that the present Executive Committee will treat all acts, suspensions or fines as was done without authority of the S. C. M. and the general laws of the order during these two years with regard to your endowment certificates as illegal and void and all that member will have to do is to show that he is in good health where he has dropped out of his lodge, resume his obligations to the lodge and order, pay his dues as required by the endowment act, by-laws and constitution of the D. G. L. and his lodge and he will be entitled to all the rights and privileges granted by this act. 3rd. This recognition entitles us to the name and assets of D. G. L. No. 18. Jurisdiction of Georgia under the laws of the Order and as we understand the judgment of the court did not adjudicate against the laws of the order and the rights of the order thereunder. 4th. If it becomes necessary, you can rest assured that the loyal members of the parent body will fight for these rights to the utmost in the courts of our country, and we have confidence that justice will prevail. This will secure the order in its name and property against wrong that may be or has been done. 5th. I want to assure every member that will pay his 25 cents into the Bureau of Endowment that the Execu- tive Committee now in charge will protect every certificate holder. It will hardly be necessary to say that this committee promises to handle your affairs in an honest business like way, giving to the humblest member a square deal. You are notified that the following named officers compose the Executive Committee of D. G. L. No. 18, Jurisdiction of Georgia and any recognition of any other will put you out of the order: A Graves, district Grand Master; Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, District Deputy Grand Master; R. E. Pharrow. District Grand Secretary; Dr. Adolph N. Gordon, District Grand Treasurer; J. C. Styles, District Grand Director.

At chapel services Wednesday morning Dr. Brown of Bridgeport, Conn., a member of the Board of Trustees of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and pastor of the First Baptist church there, who is touring the South looking over the armies and Negro schools, discussed the subject "Turn every benefit into a blessing." He and President Hope were in Tuskegee on Thursday and Friday. - The members of the glee club and orchestra were happy to see among the guests at their annual social Messrs G. D. Brock and C. E. Jackson, men garbed in the khakl. The social was a source of real pleasure and inspiration to all present. - The Pi Gamma Literary Society's regular monthly meeting assumed a patriotic spirit as a result of the impromptu speeches by several men on some one phase of the war and the farewells to the society of several of its members. The illness of little Josephine Harreld, the child of Prof. and Mrs. Kemper Harreld, is very much regretted. We all hope for a speedy recovery. We note the absence of Mrs. John Hope from the campus. We wish for her much success while in New York and a safe and speedy return. THE MUSICIAN SATURDAY FEB. 16, 1918 RESOLUTION TO F. M. COHEN Augusta, Ga., Jan. 17, 1918. Fred Cohen, who for nineteen years was Grand Secretary and Treasurer of the Endowment Bureau of the Georgia Knights of Pythias, is dead. He was an honest and efficient official, and during all the years he held this important position he was faithful and devoted to the trust which it imposed. He was an upright citizen, a loyal friend, a devoted husband and father and a conscientious Christian. In his death our state, our race and our order sustains a serious loss. His place in the life of our race and of our order will be hard to fill. He was one of the founders of Pythianism, and was a powerful factor in its great growth and development. Therefore, be it Resolved: That we, the members of Fidelity Lodge No. 1, of Augusta, the mother lodge of Georgia, feel that in his death we have sustained a distinct loss; and that we extend to the members of his immediate family our profound sympathy in this, their great sorrow. Resolved further, that a copy of these resolutions be printed in the official organ of the order and the Savannah Tribune, and that a copy be presented to our deceased brother's family. Be it also. Resolved, that a page in our minutes be inscribed to Brother Cohen's memory. Respectfully, R. C. WILLIAMS H. B. SWEET C. C. GREEN L. B. MORSELEY A. C.

WELL, IVE GOT THE BEST OF BERTIE THIS TIME. MISS PRETTYPEACH: "I am here now, and will bid you both good-bye." The Masonic Sentinel tells of a Master who "travels twenty-two miles to reach home after attending his lodge." It were well, perhaps, if there were more long-distance Masters. They might be induced to close their lodges at a reasonable hour, so that all the members could get home before breakfast.—Masonic Standard. --- Masonry was got made to divide men but to unite them. If asks not for tolerance, but for fraternity, leaving each man free to think his own thoughts and fashion his own system of ultimate truth. Therefore, all through the ages it has been, and it today, a meeting place, of different minds, and a prophecy of the final union of all reverent and devout souls.—Selected. Correct Your Work The time is near at hand when the various bodies choose the officers (workers) for another year. The ability the render the work effectively should entitle men to advancement. More seniority of position in line should not. "The tools belong to the man who can use them" is true in lodge work as it is in war. If a man is slovenly in utterance and sits at cross-legged case in an official chair when occupying a minor position, he will carry those characteristics into more prominence when advanced. A certain man in Kansas City as the writer is told, being enroute thru the chairs of the lodge, took heed as to himself and became aware that his own pronunciation of words was defective, his diction, and delivery poor, and his use of the voice weak and ineffective. Although he was a busy man he took time to seek a teacher of elocation and took a series of lessons to remove those defects; in part at lease, so that he might be better able to convey the grand lessons of Masonry to his fellows. And he learned both the floor work and the ritual. Needless to say, that that man had a successful year as Master and went on from one success to another in other bodies. During his years bodies over which he presided had a better attendance and when now he puts on a degree anywhere it attracts the presence of the brethren, even though it be 'only to see degree work." In a few weeks a number of the brethren, even though it be only to sume new and higher stations. Let them remember that in so simple matters as correct pronunciation of the words common in our rituals in correct accent and the emphasis that is backed by sincerity of soul, may be a considerable part of the secret of drawing full lodge rooms.

To the student of Freemasonry and each should endeavor to understand the lessons taught, the Rite offers a field of study and application not to be found in any other order. No organization in existence today can, or does, present to the candidate truths in a more acceptable manner, these teachings and lessons reach the heart leaving an indelible impress in the future on the character of the initiate. Missouri Freemason. The Bond We talk (in open lodge) a great deal about strong "ties" of Freemasonry. Brethren, what does it mean? It all sounds familiar at the time, but somehow we do not realize it in the routine of daily life as we should. Do we have that "fellow feeling" for a brother Freemason that should characterize a Freemason? It seems to us that the "bonds" of love and common interests should be more in evidence among Masons in business, professional and social life. But who is going to reform the whole craft? No one. Each of us must reform ourselves and if the other fellow is unwilling, let him go—Exchange. Office-Seeking A practical lesson why office-seeking is detrimental to the best interests of a lodge is because, in many cases, the office-seeker is one who is not qualified for office. He is selfish and brazen, even unscrupulius, in the attainment of his ends, and hence he does not resist to push his candidacy. Such a man is not representative of Masonry, and is not capable of serving his brethren with disinterested zeal. He is ignorant and superficial but by dint of assurance sometimes call gall, he elbows into the background the brother of real but unassuming merit. Masonic office means service rather than empty "honor." It means labor of love, the subordination of self in the performance of duty. If this point were better understood, our lodge would be better served. If officers themselves understood it, they would dedicate themselves to God and the Craft, rather than to selfish ambition. They mean to be good Masons, some of these unthinking incompetents, but they are led astray by bad examples. On the principle that the officers of a lodge are its servants, why should not the lodge literally choose its officers from the best material available, just as it would do if it were engaging a sentinel. If you would become a bigger, stronger Mason study, practice and attend your lodge meetings. - Selected.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia as second class Mall. 1 A preacher who ministers solely to the adult members of his congregation and gives no attention to the religious nurture and direction of the children of the church, who must logically become the future leaders and communicants, fails to meet the demands of the modern church, and plans only for its welfare during a generation at most. A church has a right to ask its pastor to exercise an especial care over the young and tender, children of the congregation,—has a right to expect him to prevent the making of sinners as well as to save them. A well organized and faithfully-followed up campaign of religious education in the church, formed after pedagogical principles, and designed especially for those passing through the critical period of adolescence, will meet the difficulty admirably. It will stimulate the congregation supremely and accomplish the very ends which the more selfish minister exercises his best powers to achieve. Some ministers enjoy the distinction of being rated as progressive and alive who, give no thought to the systematic handling of the children of the church. They have delegated this duty to the Sunday school, which under proper conditions becomes itself a part of said child-care system. The most backward type does not even know the children of the church and does not attend the Sunday school. He has delegated the greater part of the religious training to others, though he may prepare his sermons carefully and make the pastoral calls. The attempt to revivify the Sunday school, through modern plans and ideas, is significant of this awakening to child interest. But this agency is only a part of a possible wonderful system. It cannot do all that needs to be done. This modern vision of religious education for young and old is the dawning of a new day for the church. Sooner or later, ministers will be selected because they're fitted to plan and direct the whole educational and spiritual machinery of the church. They cannot much longer impress the people that too much training and system means less spirituality. A painstaking investigation, made by a commission appointed for the purpose, some years ago, disclosed that 95 per cent. of the courses in theological schools have special reference to a ministry to adults only. It was also found that the average age of the morning congregation is about 35 years. This situation exists in spite of the fact that adolescence is the period of impressions and changes in the human being, and thus the logical period for training and conversion. Hard study, careful planning, attendance upon many committees and meetings and much teaching and advising and observation, constitute the sacrifice which must be paid if children shall grow in grace and the knowledge of Christ. And yet, it is worth it and it is our duty, for it is written "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." SUMMER SCHOOL A POSSIBILITY SUMMER SCHOOL A POSSIBILITY It will be avery excellent thing if the plans of the Teachers Culture Club are carried out and a summer school is established in Savannah, at least for the coming, summer. The reasons advanced by their leader and themselves strike us as very strong ones. First, they can bring to Savannah a half dozen specialists in summer school subjects for a great deal less money per capita than it will cost them severally to go away for school. Secondly; it is strictly in line with the conservation, in the saving of money, time, energy and transportation. Thirdly, there will be no loss motion such as attends matriculation, learning the ways, getting established, etc., at summer schools. Fourth; they can select such courses and teachers for the courses as may be especially adapted for local needs. Fifth, Savannah is admirably adapted for the purpose, being of good climate, rich in historic interest and offering excellent opportunities for outing and recreation. We feel that this is about the bright est idea which has been struck upon in many moons around here and we would delight to see it worked out successfully and made to meet its ends effectively. It will be a whole lot cheaper to bring half a dozen people to sixty than to send the sixty or half of them to the half dozen. And then the war is on. We believe that a great many teachers of the adjoining counties and smaller towns would like to come to Savannah for six weeks and reap the advantages of the summer school as planned. Many prospective teachers would do well to enlist for the courses, and thus put themselves in the way for being selected for places in the chools. We believe the plan will pay, and that it might be worked year after year. It is but a slight variation of the Chataquira idea, and that has proved to be immensely popular and serviceable. We repeat, it's a fine idea these progressive teachers have struck upon, and it can be easily put into execution with good results. Let's stand right up to the Teachers Culture Club in its efforts to give us better teachers, better schools and more enlightened and progressive children, for that's what this means. After all, it is we, who shall derive the benefits. OVER-CROWDING AND THE DEATH RATE Poor housing is the chief ally of death. No better proof need be offered than the comparative study of Negro deaths from tuberculosis in Savannah during 1917. In Yamacraw where houses are poorest, where sanitation is at its worst and where overcrowding is most aggravated, we have the preponderance of deaths. As in the case of tuberculosis, so also it is for other diseases, that the overcrowded sections are the worst sufferers. To put the situation roughly but emphatically, Yamaeraw and Frog-town, which together embrace little more than one fourth the Negro population furnishes nearly two-fifths of the total deaths; or it might be stated that these sections embrace 25 per cent of the population and yet furnish nearly 40 per cent. of the deaths. The main need is a housing law, preventing over-crowding and compelling proper ventilation and sanitation. Many progressive cities have this. To do this for Yamacraw would bring a great howl from the property holders there. What is Negro human-life, that the profits from filthy and dilapidated tenements should be cut down to save it? The allowing of this grave situation to remain is but another evidence of the American standard or morality and justice as it applies to Negroes. The only hope is that Negroes will learn and learn and learn, that they may be able to uplift and protect themselves, where the laws and governments of the land so often fail them. It is planned to conduct a free tuberculosis clinic in Yamaecraw, with a follow-up nurse. Necessary as it is and serious as is the health problem there, to the shame of our city, it is already feared that the city will "find itself unable to grant the request" and will report unfavorably on it. The appalling conditions in Yama-craw as indicated by last year's report (and last year showed an improvement over the preceding years) follows: Negro deaths from city at large...132 Negro deaths (excluding hospitals).....100 100 per cent Negro deaths Yama-craw...24 per cent Negro deaths Frogtown...14 per cent Negro deaths other sections 62 per cent The 32 dying at hospitals (Ga. Infirmary 26 and Charity 6) if prorated among the several sections on the basis of population would distribute themselves as follows: Yamacraw 6; Frogtown 3; other sections 23. Prorated upon the basis of the above death rate the 32 would be as follows: Yamacraw 8; Frogtown 4, other sections 20. This latter apportionment would be the fairer. Negro deaths, city at large 100 per cent Negro deaths, Yamacraw...24.2 per cent Negro deaths Frogtown...13.7 per cent Other sections.....62.1 per cent Estimate Negro population.....47,000 Negro population Yamacraw.....7,000 Negro population Frogtown.....4,000 Negro population other sections 30,000 Combined Yamacraw and Frogtown.....11,000 Yamacraw, with 17 per cent of the population, furnished 24.2 percent of the total deaths.

It is also observed that the 7,000 residents of Yamaecraw live in 1,300 houses and apartments, an average of from 5 to 6 persons to the house. Population estimated. Deaths taken from health records. ARRESTING VAGRANTS The campaign against vagrants which the city police department has started was carried to a ridiculous extent Thursday night when nine Negro men and two Negro women were arrested, charged with not working. In making the arrests the officers sought not to ascertain from those whom they stopped whether they were working or not but forthwith exercised their authority in sending them to the barracks. None of the eleven was found guilty the next morning in the police court, Recorder Schwartz setting free the entire crowd with the comment. "These appear to me to be working Negroes" We wonder if the heads of the police department have the vision to see the harm such action is doing the city. We wonder if they realize that such miscarriage of justice is the very thing which has already caused the South to lose thousands of its laborers to the North with Savannah contributing its quota of several thousands? A continuation of such actions is going to cause more to leave for the north, for the fever to take a chance at the strenuous life of the North where they may at least be freed of police persecution is rankling in the breast of thousands of Negroes who are only awaiting the approach of warm weather before they leave. Of the two women arrested, one was a girl scarcely more than 10 years, while the other had just arrived in the city the night before. We realize that there is a scarcity of laborers here for the wages paid but arresting innocent Negroes is not going to help the situation any. It is going to make it acute and, further, it is going to cause a strained relation between the races. Savannah is by no means infested with vagrants, in fact, we doubt whether 100 Negro men can be found who do not work at some time during the day, and a score or more probably of these seemingly are enjoying. Immunity from arrest because of their detestible connections. The arrests of the women was both without ground and contemptible. The police have no more right stopping Negro women asking them if they are working than they have stopping white women and if it is indulged in too freely we should not wonder but that it will lead to serious results. And as to the time chosen to round up vagrants, why choose night time? It seems to us that if the city is infested with vagrants, as the police actions certify, the proper time to apprehend them would be during work hours. Men and women, hard working men and women, must have some time to themselves for recreation. They have a right to it and the police should not arrest them for no other reason whatever than that they are Negroes.

Street --- brutal and savage acts may be laid at the door of Germany, none can parallel or equal the flendish cannibalism of those two gangs of Tennessee savages—those involved in the lynchings and burnings at Dyersburg and Estill Springs. There were hundreds of men, women and children participating, and for hours, they indulged in punishing and torturing and mainting their hapless prey, until death came to their relief. The brutality and horror of these beings is black and bloody passing description, and one wonders whether they have the souls and sensibilities of moral humanity. No wonder Negroes welcome the opportunity to flee from these conditions. It is this constant jeopardy of Negroes their life and property, which drives them from the rural districts and migration will continue. "Many Negroes were forced to pass by the pyre. They were told that it would serve as a warning to them." A Negro preacher was killed, collateral to this burning, to show Negroes generally, the cheapness of Negro life, even that of the leading Negroes. The deputies are always "overpowered," the victim always "confesses" and many women and children joined in the ghastly orgies and ceremonies. American public opinion, as it relates to justice and protection of Negroes, is dead. The American mind has adjusted and accustomed itself to a general disregard of the rights of Negroes, and, little concern over his property and life. The leading Americans are patient and indulgent of the lawlessness and savagery of the rural, ruffian so long as his offenses are against Negroes. If a white man should be tortured for hours and then burned at the stake, in the heart of a small town, and in the presence of thousands of men, women and children, news of it would shock the sensibilities and souls of millions of Americans, and rigorous and extreme measures would be taken to break it up forever. Nothing will be done in this case—the second torturing and burning of a Negro in 60 days, nothing but the usual formal fizzle of coming to the conclusion that "he came to his death at the hands of parties unknown." What shall be done about this curse of America? What will the American people do? What will the Negro element do, in self defense? How can God cause our nation to prosper and to succeed when part of us are savagely unhuman and, given to interests of this commonwealth, and the other part of us are indifferent, tolerant or evasive of responsibility for it? We cannot succeed until we get right, or Christianity is unbound. Every individual in America is responsible for these burnings and lynchings. Every man in Savannah bears a due portion of responsibility for this great American curse. Every one who avoids his duty to speak against it, write against it, fight it and undertake to stamp it out, is a "slucker" and a traitor to the best interest of this commonwealth. How many men, seeing a venomous rattle snake enter the chamber of his children, would yet refrain from attacking because of the peril of his own life? How many Americans, so fear public opinion and its effect upon their own interests that they will refuse to attack this great and accursed wrong, which is attacting the vitals of the nation?

Definition of the Negro Business League Question—What is the meaning of the Negro Business League? Answer—An organized medium to promote the commercial and financial development of the Negro. Ques—Are women eligible to membership in the above named organization? Ans—Yes. Ques—Define the class of people desirable for membership in the Business League. Ans—All men, women or firms engaged in any conceivable kind of legitimate business, all persons of professions, all ministers or any person who may be business inclined or believe in the promotion of business in the Negro race are eligible for membership. Ques—Can a layman who has not yet started in business join the League? Ans—Yes. or apply in person, at the regular meeting at its headquarters, 458 West Broad street. Ques—Does the league have regular stated meeting nights? Ans—Yes. Ques—What are the meeting nights of the league? Ans—The First Wednesday and third Friday, nights of each in every month. Ques—Does the league hold its meetings regularly? Ans—No one is simple enough to use such utterances except some superstitions, passimistic fellow who has not be able to inject the spirit of fraternallism in the league, and thereby destroy the good purpose for which it was organized. Hence, the fact that the league holds regular meetings this would be tattler, is guilty of mendacity. Ques—Is the league an organized movement for the so-called big Negro? Ans—No. Ques—Then is it a movement for the middle class Negro? Ques—Well, what class of people was the league organized to benefit? Ans—It was organized for the purpose of benefiting all people of the Negro race. The old, the young, the rich, the poor, the high, the low; in fact, none need be left out, there is room enough for all. Some might say, well, I belong to the National Negro Business League; but let us call attention to that class of people that the good book teaches that charity begins at home. Ques—Why try to be a member in the National League and yet spend no efforts to promote the interest of the local league? Que-1 there any room in the Business League for the minister to expand his divine talent and use his influence for the edification and business development of his race? An-Yes. That is one of the crying needs of the league. Question- Are there any of the ministers striving to serve the above mentioned high mission? An-Yes'a few of them. Question- Has the invitation been widely extended to these christian gentlemen, who have been commissioned from on high and to whom the people are looking forward for wholesome instruction and advice to come to the meetings of the league, where their influence may be used for good? ed in the uphift and development of business among the race. The gospel of business needs to be sounded down the line in stentorian tones that it may arouse and awaken in interest in those who are lest concerned along the business line. Ques—Has the business league given any consideration to the organization of women along the business line? Ans—Yes. A committee is hard at work now, in an effort to organize a ladies' auxiliary and we trust that said committee will receive the fullest co-operation of all of our ladies in business and profession, as well as those who are business inclined. Ques—Has the National Negro Business League a Ladies' Auxiliary? Ans—Yes. And we can say to the credit of the ladies' auxiliary that they played quite a conspicuous part in moulding sentiment and bringing things to pass. Well then, will not a ladies' auxiliary mean as much to the local league as it does to the National League? Ans—Yes, quite as much if not more since we have such a fertile field for business.

God through the prophetic Daniel predicted their rise, progress and final end. Neither was our Lord partial concerning the nations of the earth, in as much as he also gave the Seer of Patmos advance history of the rise, progress and perils of our own country, the United States. The European countries are fulfilling to the very letter the prophecies concerning them, and so is the United States as your will see from study this evening", declared Elder J. W. Manus last Sunday night at the Seventh-Day Adventist church 36th and Burroughs streets. Continuing, he said, "The United States is represented by the second beast of Revelation 13, and had just come upon the stage of action when the papal head of the first beast received its deadly wound. As a direct result of the revolt against papal authority in the French Revolution, the French army, under Berthier, entered Rome, and the Pope was taken prisoner, February 10, 1798, A. D., or just one hundred and twenty years ago today. "And I saw one of his heads as it was wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: Rev. 13:3. And I behold another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Verse 11. A. D. 1798 when the papal power received its deadly wound, the government of the United States, located in the western continent, was the only great and independent nation then coming into prominence in territory not previously occupied by peoples, multitudes, and nations. Only nine years preceding this (1780) the United States adopted its national constitution, with an area of only half million square miles, but boasting of its two leading principles, civil and religious liberty, represented by the two horns like a lamb. In liberty, therefore, was the nation conceive; to these two great propositions was it sacredly dedicated and solemnly sealed in the blood of her noblest sons. The declaration says that all men are "created equal in their rights to life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness." When this nation was born, it was a republic pure, and simple. Its foundations were laid in principle and not in power. It was not an empire in any sense of the word, for the foundations of an empire are laid in power and not in principle. It was built upon that everlasting rock that right makes might. Against this the coming of floods and the blowing and blasting of winds, are alike powerless, for it standeth sure and falleth not forever. But empires, on the other hand are built upon that sinking sand that might makes right. Against these the floods come and the winds blow and beat, and they fall, and great is the fall thereof. One of the most sacred relies of the early history of the United States is the old Liberty Bell, cast by the workmen of England, with a weight of 2,000 pounds. This bell was brought from London to Philadelphia in the ship "Matilda" and landed late in August, 1752. It was not permitted, however, that this bell, cast in the old world, should "proclaim liberty" in the new; for, immediately after being hung, while it was being tested "it was cracked by a stroke of the clapper without any other violence." And if you will study the crack in the bell, with its significance, you will see that this nation today, is fast abandoning that great rock, that right makes might, and settling upon the sand. The two great principles, Republicanism and Protestantism, are being fast forgotten. The love of power, so prone to the human breast, is smothering this priceless, eternal principle. From being a government of the people, by the people and for the people, it is being rapidly transformed into a government of some of the people, by a few of the people for all the people. This is imperialism as opposed to reublicanism, and this is national apostasy, the results of which, is sure to be a humiliation." Elder Manns preaches again on Sunday night. His subject will be "The United States in Prophecy" continued. All are welcome. Song service 7:45, preaching 8:15.

This is the slogan spelled in a whimsical fashion, which the Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. huts throughout the Southern Military Department are adopting in a campaign to minimize profanity among our soldiers and sailors. "To swear like a trooper" or "sailor" heretofore has been featured as the phrase in highest praise of the proficient "profanatic"—but no longer. The likening is obsolete, for according to Religious Work Director W. R. Bobyons of Camp Gordon: "Less cussing is heard in the training camps today than on our city streets. The clean lives the men are leading are productive of clean speech." The Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. is doing its share to keep the thoughts of the soldiers clean with its program of physical and social activities, entertainments, educational classes and religious services. Many phrases displayed conspicuously in the Red Triangle huts serve as constant reminders to the men of the objectionable character of profanity. One of these read: "If you curse at home, curse here. We want you to feel at home." They get good results; as the advertising man says. Recently a soldier at one of the writing benches in a hut spewed forth a mouthful of oaths which was overheared by a uniformed secretary: "Just put 'em in a letter to your mother sometime." suggested the uniform secretary. A few days later the enlisted man laid a neatly written letter before the secretary with the statement: "That's to my mother—the first letter I've written, her in seven years. The hint you gave me the other day made me realize my duty toward her and I've decided to cut out the cussh too." PHONE 296 PHONE 29 GODLEY & GRIFFIN (Successors to F. S.
