The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIII Body Of James Blair Recovered WAS DROWNED WITH THREE OTHERS ON FEBRUARY 4TH Body Recovered In Creek By Bridge Tender of Tybee Road The body of James H. Blair was recovered Thursday morning in St. Augustine creek, just under the Tybee bridge, about five miles from the city, by Bridge-tender George Bishop. Blair was drowned on the night of February 4th at the foot of West Broad street, when a machine in which he was riding with three other men went overboard, the chaufeur, William Nelson, and a chum of Blair's. Andrew Waters of Baltimore, being drowned while the other member of the party, a white marine from the U. S. naval station was rescued. The finding of the body of Mr. Blair and those of the other two colored men clears up the mystery as to the occupants of the ill-fated car. The marine at first stated that two Negro women were in the car and later that he was not sure as to whether they were women or men, but was positive that they were Negroes from their voices. The body of Mr. Blair was brought up to the city Thursday morning and taken to Monroe's Undertaking Establishment on West Broad street from which the funeral took place yesterday afternoon. The body was in a horrid state of decomposition. the identification, however, being made certain by a passport, a watch and a photo of himself which were found in the drowned man's pocket together with a small amount of money. Blair and Waters, who were waiters on the steamship City of St. Louis, were on their way to the steamer the night of the accident and when they arrived at the Union depot hired the car to take them over to the wharf which was about a mile away. It is supposed that the white marine who was in the car with the chauffeur, attempted to do the driving and being unacquainted with the city drove the machine into the river, thinking it a clear road with the result that the three colored men were drowned while he was rescued by the night watchman of the Savannah Electric plant, who heard his cries for help. Mr. Blair who was a native of this city, is survived by a mother, Mrs. R. B. Spellman; a wife, Mrs. Malinda Blair; a sister and a brother, Mr. Wm. Blair. The body of the chauffeur and owner of the car, was recovered the day after the accident and buried the following Saturday in South Carolina while that of the Baltimore man, Andrew Waters, was recovered two weeks afterwards and buried here, no information being obtained as to his relatives though every effort was made to find them.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MARCH 2ND, 1918 Warns Negro Labor About Alliances TYLER FAVORS THOUGHTFUL UNIONIZATION Other Interesting News Items About Nation's Capitol Washington, D. C.-Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, executive secretary of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, contributed a well-tempered article to the issue of the New York Tribune of February 19th in which he discussed the relation of the Negro to the Labor Unions. He favored the unilization of Negro labor, in a broad sense, but warned the advocates of a hard-and-fast alliance with the American Federation that there should be a thorough understanding that the Negro workingman should be given an equal opportunity with white labor for employment in the skilled trades and that wages should be the same for the same grade of labor. The admirable article by Mr. Tyler is given an honored position on the editorial page of The Tribune and "played up" as a feature. The prominence given the brochure by this leader of journalistic thought in the nation's metropolis is a strong indication of the important place the problem of the Negro and his relation to capital and labor holds in the popular mind of the day. The situation that is now being discussed between the Negro leaders and the officials of the American Federation of Labor embodies great potentialities for the future of the race and the country. The colored citizens of Washington are awakening to the benefits of suffrage in the District of Columbia and are lining up with the progressive white citizens for the "Americanization of the nation's Capitol." The Washington Egal, editorially and through its correspondents, is taking an aggressive stand in favor of the ballot for the district and for representation in Congress and in the electoral college. The large colored population here is not regarded by informed and fair-minded Washingtonians as a menace to good government. The Washington Bee is likewise valiantly championing the cause of suffrage for all the emasculated citizenry of the nation's capitol. The colored druggists of Washington represent the most virile business force we have among us. In this city there are probably thirty prosperous pharmacies in operation and in them are found many graduate gathering experience, along with proprietors, and preparing to launch out for themselves when they become adequately prepared for the work. The Colored Druggists' Association of the District has been in existence for some time, and its membership includes about twenty-one of the pharmaceutical establishments of the community. At the annual meeting last week officers were elected for 1918 and plans were laid for the annual smoker, which is to laid for the annual smoker, which is be held in April. The new head of the organization is Dr. W. C. Simmons. The other officers chosen are Dr. W. W. Whipps, vice president; Dr. B. W. F. Hailstorks, secretary; Dr. E. F. Harris, corresponding secretary and field agent; and Dr. L. H. Singleton, treasurer. The executive committee is made up of Dr. W. H. Jackson, chairman, Dr. B. F. Hailstorks, and Dr. E. O. Peters. The association meets monthly and is a powerful factor in promoting the welfare of this most promising wing of the race's commercial endeavor. --- Mr. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, put in some fine work last week at the dedication of the Buffalo Auditorium at Camp Upton, Yaphank, New York and delivered an inspiring speech. Early this week he insisted conditions at Camp Stuart, at Newport News, Va. According to a recent address delivered in Chicago by Gov. Charles H. Brough, of Arkansas, the war is due to last another three years. The colored American is doing his bit to make the world safe for democracy—and will continue to do so until the end of the chapter. Congressman Martin B. Madden, of Chicago, delivered an impressive address Sunday on "Americanism" under the auspices of the 12th street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. Miss Nannie Burroughs also spoke eloquently and earnestly on the attitude of the Negro in Ask President To Grant Clemency TO SOLDIERS CONDEMNED DIE FOR HOUSTON RIOT Burning and Lynching of Negroes Brought before President New York, Feb. 20.—President Wilson on Tuesday afternoon received a delegation of four members of the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by special appointment. The delegation placed before the President a petition signed by twelve thousand citizens of New York in which the President was asked to extend executive clemency to the five Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry now under sentence of death by verdict of the court martial which tried the Houston riot cases, and requesting the President to cause to be laid before him a review of the cases of forty-one soldiers of the same regiment who were sentenced to life imprisonment by the first court martial. The delegation consisted of James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Secretary for the Advancement of Colored People. Rev. George Frazier Miller, rector of St. Augustine Church, Brooklyn; Rev. Frank M. Hyder, pastor of St. James Presbyterian church, New York City and Rev. F. A. Cullen, president of the New York Branch. Mr. Johnson who acted as spokesman Mr. Johnson, who acted as spokesman of the delegation, said: "We come as a delegation from the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing the twelve thousand signers to this petition which we have the honor to lay before you. (Continued on Page Four) SUGAR REFINERY TO EMPLOY COLORED WOMEN Negro Committee Inspects Plant, Finding Working Conditions Commendable The managers of the big sugar refinery at Port Wentworth have decided to open several classes of their work to colored women, provided these women prove their ability to stick regularly on the job and show themselves capable of doing the tasks which may be assigned for them. The work is light, sanitary and desirable in every way, and includes sweeping, sewing and stencliling. The management desires only a very reliable grade of women to apply, because it is their policy to encourage their workers to remain with the company permanently. Promotions and increase in wages are given on the basis of efficiency and regularity and length of service. A bonus is also given to those who remain continually on the job for shorter periods of time. This will prove an effective inducement for regular work. A committee of representative Negroes including J. G. Lemon, Rev. T. J. Goodall and a Tribune representative went thoroughly over the plant and found that they could afford to recommend the work as being highly desirable for the women of the race. More and more the women of the country are being called into new fields of labor to take the places of men, and this opening for colored women comes in line with this new tendency. If the women make good in this line they will always have the work open to them. Transportation facilities are already arranged, these new workers going and coming by boat to the plant, as is the case with the great number of men now employed there. Those wishing information about the work may call on J. G. Lemon, at the Wage Earners Bank building 9 to 11 a.m. each day. Only those willing to work regularly need apply. Prof. Chas. Lyons of Athens was in the city this week where he was called on account of the illness of his mother. the war crisis, and pointed out despite the difficulties surrounding his life and opportunities in this land, the race could be depended upon to stand by the flag—and settle local troubles after victory had perched itself upon the American banner. This is a big week for the Republicans. Leaders and the rank and file of the party are touching elbows and exchanging ideas looking to a vigorous campaign to carry the next Congress and to win in the national battle in 1920. National Chairman Will S. COLORED AGENTS SPEAK AT MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM During the Farmer's conference, held at the Municipal Auditorium on Friday February 22, the demonstration agents of Chatham county gave talks on their work. E. A. Williams, district agent, gave an illustrated lecture on Food Conservation with the lantern slides sent by Mr. Hoover from Washington. Mr. J. C. Fisher, also Mr. J. Clarke, both cereal investigators, spoke on the diseases of wheat, oats and corn. Miss Juanita Conyers, home demonstration agent, gave a demonstration in bread-making by using the sweet potato as a substitute. Each session of the conference was largely attended and the farmers from all parts of the state told how they were being helped by the demonstration work. NEW TEACHER AT THE CUYLER STREET SCHOOL The new teacher of the high school department of Cuyler Street School is Edgar 'R. Jones' of Tuskegee. Mr. Jones graduated from Tuskegee in the year 1911, and in the same year finished the trades, harness-making and carriage-trimming. Since that time he has had a year of experience at his trade and a year in public school teaching. He has spent four and a half years in post graduate work at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. He is son of the late Rev. W. L. Jones, former pastor of the First African Baptist church. It is stated that he has the endorsement of Major Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; of President John Hope of Morehouse and of Mr. W. W. Osborne of Savannah. He hopes to continue his work in the arts and science for a degree at the University of Chicago. Need Felt For Educational Awakening Need Felt For Educational Awakening SO DECLARES GA. ASSO FOR AD- ANCEMENT OF EDUCATION Ask State Teachers to Meet in Macon During Month of May Atlanta, Ga.-The Executive Committee of the Georgia Association for the Advancement of Education Among Negroes held recently an important meeting here at the Y. M. C. A. building. Besides the members of the committees a number of men and women in religious and educational work were present and took active part in the discussions and gave valuable assistance in mapping out plans for the future work of the organization. The consensus of opinion among those present showed the great need for an educational awakening among our own people many of whom are now careless if not altogether indifferent on this subject of vital interest. There was also general agreement on the need of bringing to bear upon the public authorities of the state all the influences we possibly can to the end that more liberal appropriations be made and better facilities provided for the education of Negro youth and that an effort should be made to stimulate professional pride among Negro teachers throughout the state. In trying to improve educational conditions among our people the committee recognizes the need of the active co-operation not only of teachers and others directly interested in educational work but of the Negro press, ministers and other professional and business men as well. It is the earnest desire of this organization to enlist the active co-operation of all classes to the end that we may present a united front in our effort to stimulate and advance in every way possible educational work among our people. On motion of Dr. L. H. Kling the following recommendations were unanimously adopted. The executive committee of the Association for the Advancement of Education Among Negroes makes the following recommendations: 1. That, in view of the necessity of getting the broadest co-operation of all forces for the purpose of our educational advancement, we request the president of the Colored State Teachers' Association to call a meeting of that association at the time and place this association will meet with a view of considering the wisdom of combining the two organizations for more effective work. 2. That the time and place of its joint meeting be May 2nd and 3rd; 1918. Macon, Ga. NUMBER 26 53 Negro Draftees Depart For Camp FINEST LOOKING BUNCH YET TO LEAVE CITY Friends and Relatives at Depit to See Them Off On Monday morning, fifty-three Negro draffees were sent from this city and county to Camp Gordon, Atlanta.

SILK HAYS FOLLOW GINGHAM New York Feb. 20. There is something worthful in the way America is coming to the front in every thin. Undaunted by circumstances, she accepts the difficulties made necessary by war, and makes the best of them. Anything that spells-economy, that means a saving to help our government win the war, is eagerly considered by the patriotic women of the United States. They say abroad that we always go into things so hard, putting our whole soul into the thing of the moment, and it is true. The factions of the present day proves this fact. Conservation dresses frocks that require the minimum of wool are the order of the day. And yet they are not frumilish, for they are in good taste, simple and becoming. Black and White Wrapped-On Dress of Silk Gingham The new materials lend themselves nicely to the limited yardage. The cotton serges and gabardines are very good looking, and of course, the silks are wonderful. There is a new silk, paterned after the gingham which enjoyed such popularity last year, and which promises to hold its own this © MCCALL The Dress That Requires No Fastening year, too. The weave of gingham, and the quiet patterns are the same. For the early spring dress, this material is splendid, as it will wear exceedingly well. At present it is quite the vogue to have one's dress wrapped-on, and the one illustrated here is a splendid example of the simplicity of the style. Made of gingham, in a stunning black-and white check, the dress can be closed at either the right or the left side. There are only two fastenings necessary, the buttons that hold it at the side front. The upper half of the front gore is made of lining, to conserve the material, and that is one reason why such a smart frock can be made from only four yards of silk. The tunic may be faced back with the white satin of the collar and cuffs. All the stitching is done in white, an especially clever idea, as it does away with any extra trimming. The skirt © MCCALE Wth Braided Panel-Vestee is narrow at the lower edge, and the sleeves are very tight, two absolutely necessary features of the Model 1918. Some of the smartest shops are showing very clever coats which appear at first glance to be dresses. There are tunic coats made of two materials, and some are in ridingote style with slightly Empire waistlines. One of the most noticeable things is the absence of the pocket, that important member of society last year. Bells and collars follow the prevailing mode in dresses, and the materials used are those usually relegated to the province of dresses, far lighter in weight than the material thought necessary for a coil, bifurto. These days, when carry one knits, one knitting bag that is a bit different is one most sought after. Indeed, there is quite a knitting bag code at present! If one knits for the Red Cross one may have a bag with a scarlet cross, on it. The sewing for "I'll teach Women" may be carried in a bag of the tricolor, and, of course, there are any number of attractive bags made to hold the drab and blue sweaters for our own boys. If one knits for someone one knows personally, one can knit a bit or red, white and blue into the end of the scarf, or sweater, thus giving an individual touch to the article. Knitting needles come in for share of attention, and there are all sorts of new fails to make knitting easier to carry and the yarn easier to wind and hold. For the dressy afternoon dress, there is nothing that quite takes the place of satin and a sheer material combined. Indeed, Dame Fashion has set her seal of approval on the separate satin skirt, though a costume that is "fied together"—in other words, that has a touch of the skirt material on the waist—is considered better for more formal occasions. Note the interesting panel-vester on this becoming little dress. The ends are left free and may be crossed over either way. This panel is braided, another straw that shows which way the winds of spring are blowing, for braiding is one of the most favored of trimming ideas. Hays has been in town and has been given a royal reception by his co-workers in the G. O. P. Colored men and women are receiving their quota of the appointments at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, through the square-deal policy of Director James L. Wilmeth. There is no ground for the report that our people are being "let out" because of racial discrimination. --- Efforts are being made to carry the case of John Snowden, of Annapolis, Md., to the Court of Appeals of the State of Maryland. Snowden was recently convicted in a Baltimore county court, of the murder of Mrs. Lottie May Brandon at Annapolis, Md., and has been sentenced to be hanged. Doubts exist as to the guilt and much of the testimony against him is said to be open to question. It is believed that a new trial before the Court of Appeals will result in his acquittal. Meetings are being held here and in Maryland and money is being raised in his behalf. ```markdown ``` The charge is being made and strongly argued by Attorney W. L. Hawkins that the white stone masons of the District of Columbia are trying to put out of business an organization of colored helpers, who have been doing much of the work here in cleaning and pointing of stone work and artificial stone. A proposition has been made to have their work done by full-fledged stone masons, all white. This would break down the Stone and Building Laborers' Union. No. 46, said to be one of the strongest affiliated bodies of the American Federation of Labor in the District. Mr. Hawkins is appealing to Mr. Gompers and the A. F. of L. to prevent this destructive move on the part of the local stone masons and urges that fair play be granted in the matter, now that colored labor is being invited into the ranks of organized labor of the nation. --- An important social event was the complimentary dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lassiter at their beautiful home, 1215 17th street northwest. The special guests of honor were Dr. Robert Russa Moton and Mr. Emmett J. Scott. Sharing the hospitality of the occasion were Former Governor P. R. S. Pinchback, W.

Our people should encourage these companies that keep Uncle Sain's money continually flowing to a "very present help in the time of trouble." Mr. Kennedy, the popular barber on Plant avenue, very pleasantly, entertained the Gentlemen's Club at his well appointed salon on Reynolds street. Mr. Kennedy individually acted as host and waiter serving four courses to the great delight of his fellow clubmen. Wonder what little lady is going to occupy this residence in the future. The People's Drugstore is doing a thriving business under the direction of its competent pharmacist, Dr. R. M.

The Negro Business League contest was a financial success, as well as being highly successful in educating the people of Wavercross into what the organization stands for. Besides presenting prizes to the winners in the contest, two dollars and a half souvenir gold pieces were presented to the five contestants. The League was also able to pay all of its indebtedness.

Hampton defeated Lincoln by a score of 34 to 24 and won the Eastern championship. The season just closing has been a very interesting one. The great indoor game has become more popular this season than ever before. This is especially true in the U. S. Army, where it has furnished entertainment for thousands of soldiers, and where some very good teams have been developed. The Hampton machine is much lighter than ever before, but it is also much faster. The members of the team, under the coaching of Charles H. Williams and the leadership of Capt. Eliah McLaren, feel proud of their accomplishments. A large audience gathered in the school gymnasium on Washington's birthday to see the clash between the "Orange and Blue" and the "Blue and White." In the first half of the game it was hard to tell which was the better team, for the score was tired several times before the whistle blew and the first half ended with the score 12 to 14 in Hampton's favor. Hampton's team work in the second half was too much for the Lincolnites. The final score was 24 to 34 in Hampton's favor. McLaren, Gurnoe, and Wright played exceptionally good games for Hampton, while Capt. Butler was the star of the "Orange and Blue" machine. The refereeing by E. B. Henderson was also exceptionally good. WAYCROSS, GA., NEWS Eleven of our colored boys left for the camps Monday. This being twenty-six.

ERNMENT COMMISSION In the recent government investigation, of conditions surrounding all classes of labor, their wages, working conditions, etc., as compared with the high cost of living—the Negro Pullman porter's case came up for consideration. He will benefit by this consideration, because one group (the railroads) insisted upon a continuance of "tipping" practice, while another pleaded for a living wage, with no reliance upon uncertain tipping. S. E. Podgett, a representative of the Nationaf Association of Colored Employees urged that Negro employees be paid at the same rates as white employees for the same service. It is "something new under the sun" and a good sign, that the case of the Negro labor, as such, has been before the chief counsels of the Nation. That has never been before. This, together with the recognition and admission of Negro skilled labor into the rank of organized labor, by the American Federation of Labor, is really "something new." We haunt heard "of no such animal before." The first war-year has truly brought many wonders—the years that are to come will bring many more, no doubt. AMERICA'S CHANGING HEART We believe we see the dawning of a new day on earth. We are looking beyond the wild cataclysm of world-engulfing war, across the setting muck of murdering, lynching American mobs, through the thick maze of conflicting and contending social and industrial propaganda,—into the very purposes of God for the ultimate triumph of Justice. Oh, Justice! Fairest of all Virtues! Thou hast slept already, too long! This week, twenty-eight (2,800) hundred, black men, in Georgia alone, boarded Jim Crow cars, from their places in filthy waiting rooms, on their way to Camp Gordon, near Atlanta, to be made into soldiers or stevedores, to be shipped to France, to join with the hosts of Allies in their fight for Democracy. "Democracy" is an elusive, uncanny word,—hard to define, hard to illustrate and practice,—in Amerien. Most white Americans shudder when the word is analyzed in its etymology, because its roots have a too liberal and unawful meaning for America. American wants Democracy-qualified, Democracy with a mental reservation as to its American meaning. Lots of local color and a strong setting of American social scenery must be thrown about this coveted prize of war—Democracy—after we have won her. The Tennessee contingent of Negroes on their way to camp, passed by the bloody pyre of a burned Negro, and breathed the putred fumes which rose from the scared flesh of that luckless black victim of the hate of two thou-and white American savages,—on their way to fight for the enthrancement of that magic institution, Democracy. From the trains the Georgia boys behold the stark and multilated bodies of Best and Dansey, swinging from the limbs of trees, silent in an ignominious death, and abandoned to the vultures, in the fear and terror of relatives and friends who would perform the sacred and human rites of burial; farther on, at break of day, the saw the riddled career of another Negro lying in a drift or rubbish in the road,—shot up the night before, in a mad revelry of white brutes who in day time wear the soubriquet of "citizens and Americans." And yet they went on cheerfully and patriocally to fight for, "Democracy" which to them has been but a mocking fiction,—and will be, if most Americans continue to have their way. Does history, or legend, even, record any instance of unalloyed patriotism equal to this? America has been as harsh and as bloody and as unjust to the American Negro as any power on earth ever was to its subjects. We have in America just as depraved and barbarous misanthropes as any uncivilized people ever produced, and judging by their acts in the Dyersburg and Estill Springs cases the perpetrators of the most brutal German atrocities on Belgium would be maucated by the Tennessee spectacle. We know Negroes are loyal and good fighters. We know Negroes have made commendable progress since emancipation. We know Negroes have reduced their illiteracy, improved their morals, and their mortality. We know "the South is the natural home of the Negro". We know all too well about the relationship of master and slave in the South "fo de war." We have heard too often the discussion of Negro taxation in proportion to his enjoyment of public education. We don't want to hear it any more. When white men and white women come to address us, we want them to leave this old stuff out, and talk to us as intelligent people. We want them to tell us why, we are allotted so little of the public funds for education, protection, reality improvements, playgrounds. We want to know why "good citizens" may not vote to elect the officers who are to govern them. We want to know why they do not stop the ruthless shooting and lynching of Negroes, whether they engage in it or not. We want them to explain why on railroads and other public carriers, accommodations for Negroes are inferior when the tariff imposed is the same as for whites. We are tired of "Your people," and patronizing. ASK PRESIDENT TO GRANT CLEMENCY (Continued from Page One) And we come not only as the representatives of those who signed this petition, but we come representing the sentiments and aspirations and sorrows, too, of the great mass of the Negro population of the United States. "We respectfully and earnestly request and urge that you extend executive clemency to the five Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry now under sentence of death by court martial. And, understanding that the cases of the men of the same regiment who were sentenced to life imprisonment by the first court martial are to be reviewed, we also request and urge that you cause this review to be laid before you and that executive clemency be shown also to them. "We feel that the history of this particular regiment and the splendid record for bravery and loyalty of our Negro soldiers in every crisis of the nation give us the right to make this request, and we make it not only in the name of their loyalty, but also in the name of the unquestioned loyalty to the nation of twelve million Negroes—a loyalty which today places them side by side with the original American stocks that landed at Plymouth and Jamestown. The hanging of thirteen men without the opportunity of appeal to the Secretary of War or to their Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States, was a punishment so drastic and so unusual in the history of the nation that the execution of additional members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry would to the colored people of the country savor of vengeance rather than justice. "It is neither our purpose nor is this occasion to argue whether this attitude of mind on the part of colored people is justified or not. As representatives of the race we desire only to testify that it does not exist. This state of mind has been intensified by the significant fact that although white persons were involved in the Houston affair and the regiment to which the colored men belonged was officered entirely by white men, none but colored men, so far as we have been able to learn, have been prosecuted or condemned. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY MARCH 2ND, 1918 "We desire also respectfully to call to your attention the fact that there were mitigating circumstances for the action of these men of the Twenty-fourth Infantry. Not by any premeditated design and without cause did these men do what they did at Houston, but by a long series of humiliating and harrassing incidents, culminating in the brutal assault on Coporal Baltimore, they were goaded to sudden and frenzied action. This is borne out by the long record for orderly soldierly conduct on the part of the regiment throughout its whole history up to that time. "And to the end that you extend the clemency which we ask, we lay before you this petition signed by white as well as colored citizens of New York; one of the signers being a white man, president of a New York bank, 72 years of age and a native of Lexington, Ky. "And now, Mr. President, we would not let this opportunity pass without mentioning the terrible outrages against our people that have taken place in the last three quarters of a year; outrages that are not only unspeakable wrongs against them, but blots upon the fair name of our common country. We mention the riots of East St. Louis, in which the colored people bore the grunt of both the cruelty of the mob and the processes of law. And we especially mention the savage burnings that have taken place in the single state of Tennessee within nine months: the burning at Memphis, Tenn., at Dyersburg, Tenn., and only last week at Estill Springs, Tenn., where a Negro charged with the killing of two men was tortured with redhot irons, then saturated with oil and burned to death before a crowd of American men, women and children. And we ask that you, who have spoken so nobly to the whole world for the cause of humanity, speak against these specific wrongs. We realize that your position and the tremendous moral influence which you wield in the world will give a word from you greater force than could come from any other source. Our people are intently listening and praying that you may find it in your heart to speak that word." The President received the delegation very cordially and granted them an audience lasting half an hour. He assured them, in effect, that he would carefully examine the record in the case of the condemned men and would give the whole matter his sympathetic attention. A surprising incident of the interview was that the President declared he had not heard anything about the Estill Springs burning. He asked the committee to state the facts for him, which the committee did. The President expressed the opinion that he could hardly believe it true that such a thing had happened. The delegation assured him that not only was it true in the case at Estill Springs but that similar incidents had happened at Memphis, Tenn., and Dyersburg, Tenn., also. On Wednesday night appeared a news item in the daily papers to the effect that the five soldiers condemned to death have been granted respites by President Wilson until he can review the evidence upon which they were found guilty. Mr. Calvin Furgeson, recording secretary of the Colored Chauffeurs Association of Georgia, left Tuesday of last week for Camp Gordon. A send off social was given him by the members of the club. This makes the fourth members of the association to join the colors and several more are expected to go soon.

D. 1798, at the end of 1260 years period of Dan. 7:25, and Rev. 13:5, another beast was introduced upon the scene. You will find this beast described in Rev. 13:11-17. "And I beheld another beast," Note, this beast comes up out of the earth (not out of the sea) which indicates that it was to arise in new territory, territory not previously occupied by "peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Rev. 17:15 This beast could not, therefore, arise in Europe, Asia or Africa. Only in the New World of the Western Hemisphere could a nation appear. And we would naturally look to the leading power which has arisen here as the one pointed out in the prophecy, which is beyond the shadow of a doubt, the United States." These were some of the declarations of Evangelist J. W. Manns, pastor of the Seventh-day Adventist church, who has been preaching for the past five weeks a series of sermons on the Great World War. His subject last Sunday night was "The United States in Prophecy." continued. "From the standpoint of chronology, the application of the symbol to the United States", he said, "is very easy. This power was seen coming up when the previous one went into captivity, which was in 1798. If we look the earth over, what new power do we find coming up in a manner to attract the attention of the world at that time? None but the United States government. John saw his two-horned beast coming up in 1798. The United States was just then 'coming up' and has continued to come up since that time in a manner that finds no parallel in the history of the world. Mitchell speaks of it as the most striking instance of natural growth to be found in the history of mankind. To what extent the United States has come up since its rise as a nation may be seen by considering a few facts: The conceded domain of the United States, in 1776, at the time of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, was only half million square miles; in 1913 its area, including all of its possession, amounted to 3,742,155 square miles. Its population then was only three million; now it is over one hundred million. In 1913 its total wealth was estimated to be $130,000,000,000 making it the richest nation in the world; its commerce is worldwide, and as a military power it has for years been ranked among the "great powers" of the world. And all this has been accomplished almost in a quiet and peaceful manner. This nation has not been established by conquest and overthrow of other nations, as were the nations of Europe, but simply by standing up in defence of its right against tyranny. This power had two horns like a lamb. This at once suggests two things: the youthfulness of the power and an innocent or lamb-like profession embodied in the two great principles upon which the government of the United States was established, those of civil and religious liberty, which it guarantees to all citizens. "But how long the Republic of the United States might reasonably be expected to endure? Was the question asked James Russell Lowell by Guizot, the noted French historian, 'So long, replied Mr. Lowell, as the idea of its founders continue downward.' No truer answer than this could possibly have been given. That is to say, this nation will yet desert these great principles. But when these principles are denied by this nation, who has obtained its national charter from the hand of Presidence with the distinct under- standing that its cardinal principles of government should forever be the and equality and also with the express stipulation that the rule of right should always be Gardmount to the power of the sovereign state. the star of her rights will set forevermore: By that soul act of disloyalty and reason for the laws of nature and nature's God, she will forfeit her own right to life. Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Woe be the day when she shall deny these unallenable rights, these precious God-giving boons, to any portion of the family of mankind. In that selfsame hour the bloodless hand will once again trace the dread writing on the national wall: Mene, Mene, Tekle, Upharsin. God hath numbered thy kingdom and finished it. Thou are weighed in the balance and found wanting. To the United States it will be said: "Reward her even as she rewarded others, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double. When Nebuchadnezzar, youthful hold, vigorous and accomplished, seated upon the throne of Babylon, denied liberty and the pursuit of happiness to subjects of his kingdom thus disobeying nature, and nature's God, the Almighty slapped the taste of good things from his mouth, took away his human heart, and gave him the heart of a beast, had him driven from his throne and his kingdom, into the woods there to spend seven years in school, with his diet changed from that used upon his table in the palace, to grass of the forest, until he should know the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men. Hence, the United States should take warning". "The Message of the Three Angels" will be the subject on tomorrow, Sunday night. If you have not heard Elder Manns you are invited to hear him now, at the church 36th and Burrough streets. Song service 7:45 and preaching 8:15. BROOKLYN NEW YORK NEWS The Rev.

C., student Secretary, Colored Men's Department of the International Y. M. C. A. committee, in his address on "World War" delivered at Hampton Institute, said: "As we attempt to take our places in the great world struggle, I do not see that we can find anything so sure as a guide to our footsteps as the principles of Jesus. "I was talking to a man—a member of my race—in Richmond the other day—a man prominent in the affairs of his city. This man has a son in the Navy. I said, 'Fine.' Immediately he straightened up and said, 'Well. I don't know. There was a time when I said fine, but when I see, the things through which my people are passing, I wonder whether or not it is fine!" "Then he said: 'I have come to the place that I hate. I have come to the place where I would refuse to worship Almighty God, if I thought he counteranced the things my people endure." Secretary Tobias vividly described the barbations actions of the East St. Louis mob and then added: "These things are working in the hearts of men and are destined in some cases to bring about hatred in the hearts of men, but can we afford to hate? "In spite of such provocations as all that I have mentioned, we cannot afford to hate. We cannot afford to hate for the sake of our own souls—and that is the most selfish motive we could act upon—for the sake of our own souls we cannot afford to exercise hatred." Secretary Tobias declared emphatically, that he had found a ray of light on the whole situation. It was found in the remarkable document, which had been prepared by John R. Mott and others, calling upon the students of the world to cooperate in the spirit of Jesus Christ and rebuild the world's civilization on the foundation of loyalty, truth and trust. "I am tremendously interested," he said. "in the trend Godward of world thinking today. I am tremendously interested that all man with the intellectual properties of the great English novelist, H. G. Wells, should admit in his last, two notable books—Mr. 'Brittling Sees it Through' and 'God the Invisible King—not all that we want as Orthodox Christians, to be sure, but clearly evidencing that his thought is going Godward. "When we pick up the popular magazines of today—the Atlantic, Monthly, for example, with the feature number an article on the church; and when we take up Harper's Magazine for the month and see that the feature number is an article by Francis S. Sayre on "Association Work in the World," and a popular magazine like the American where the first article is on Jesus Christ by a popular novelist—it shows that the thought of the world it trending Godward. "There is a great hope in this, because it means that men are reverting to the principles of Jesus in order to make them the guilding principles of life; and when that is done, all of these things of which we complain will fade away in that new appreciation, in that new emphasis upon the great principles enunciated by Jesus Christ. "There is a phophecy of great things gro merchants as a group giving back to the Negro papers in return and what are they doing to co-operate with all this agitation? It must be granted that quite a few individual merchants give their printing of stationery to colored printers and not a few insert small advertisements in Negro newspapers which in many instances is "traded out," but there is entire absence of group appreciation on the part of Negro merchants for the great work now being done for them by the Negro editors."

"It is in the silence of such wonderful communions as that had at Northfield that the great fires of human interest are kindled rather than upon the fields of carnal warfare. "Surely in our colleges this year, as we attempt to get 200,000 students to accept the principles of Jesus and try to make them the guilding principles of life, we are going a long way toward the solution of some of the vexing problems that hold the world in their grasp today. "It seems to me that if Wesley and his little group at Oxford could shake the whole religious world into a new appreciation of and a new emphasis upon righteousness, that 200,000 students—and vastly more before the campaign is over—should be able to bring the world to a new appreciation of human brotherhood, the lack of which is the thing that is causing the world most of its trouble today." BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTERS By Aloon L. Hoisey · Tuskegee Institute Ala., Feb 26.—"It is the colored press today in whose hand reposes the scepter of large influence and greater power for racial betterment. The more liberal the race is in its patronage of the colored press, the more power will it wield for good" says Editor Forte of the Cleveland (Ohio) Advocate, which reminds us of the magnificent tribute paid to the Negro press by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. In his last annual address before the National Negro Business League at Boston, Mass., in August 1915, Dr. Washington said: "This organization could not have been kept alive from year to year without the hearty co-operation of another hard-working and deserving element of our race that most of our people know too little about. I refer to the deep debt of gratitude we owe to the Negro Press of this country. There is no set of people who are contributing more generously, even out of their poverty, toward the uplift of our race than is true of the owners and editors of the Negro newspapers of this country, and I say this notwithstanding the fact that now and again there are those who do not altogether agree with me." Therefore, the writer of this series will be pardoned for repeating now a statement which he made some time ago regarding the Negro Press and which is most appropriate in this connection. The statement was in part as follows: No less than a dozen of these papers take their turn each week and speak editorially to the race, urging them to patronize the members of the race who are in business. That appears to be one topic on which all of the publishers agree and in agitating for more liberal and sustained patronage for Negro business enterprises they are prompted by no loftier motive than their pride of race and their absorbing desire the race's upclimb into the more important avenues of commerce and industry. For this they are to be commended and should be encouraged. "By continually urging the race to support its business men, these papers are extending the trade of the Negro business men.

"I worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness," sang the Psalmist long ago and could he have been present among the worshipers in St. Augustine's church on last Sunday. The second in Lent, he would have observed in the services a literal fulfillment of his adjuration. Mrs. Harmon and Miss Byler had beautifully and chasely arranged the church and high altar which harmonized with the musical portion of the service which was exquisitely rendered the whole congregation was so filled with reverence and eager devotion that the beauty of holiness was truly manifest. The early celebration for the ladies' guild was inspiring and devotional and truly blessed were those who persisted to be present. The sermons delivered by Father Brown were most tingly, helpful, and to the point. The eloquent deliverance of the messages thrilled the soul of a large congregation with a burning desire for courage to fight for the truth and right.

NOTES ABCUT EASTER AND AFRICA now. Africa has only one missionary to every 133,000 souls. Our Easter songs are good to them by Dr. Tinney, a man of our people. Surely this great Africa should be known to all our people in churches and schools. Africa contains one-fourth of the land surface of the whole earth, and one-seventh of all the people in the world live in Africa. Colored Baptists during the last years have given to Africa 22 work and trained more than 100 native work and evangelists. Africa's natural wealth equals that of any other two comments Africa produces one-third of the world's good in 90 per cent. of all the diamonds. The Easter program is a reproduction of sketches from Jean Mahlkeppe's book "African Adventures," which beautifully portrays the work of Christianity among African tribes. With all Africa's natural wealth, there is a greater wealth of 180,000,000 or more souls for whom Jesus died, and they need the gospel. Will we go, let go or help go At it, all at it all the time. Let every pastor see that every department of his church joins the Sunday school on the fifth Sunday of March in the Easter exercises so all may help our workers in Africa. War conditions make it imperative that we be loyal to the Lord as never before. For years the Foreign Mission Board has sent from 100,000 to 250,600 programs to our under-schools. This year, because of the tremendous cost of material and labor, we must confine our sending to those who will remember our Foreign Mission work on Easter Sunday. After-21 years of my very best self, given to interesting our Baptist Zion in the redemption of Africa, on this February 13 my twenty-first anniversary, I am saddened over the "little done and the vast undone." Enlistment of 500 churchmen who will give weekly and report monthly will greatly aid our workers, and give your old field hand. Yours in His Service L. G.

IN MEMORY MITCHELL-In loving remembrance of my dear husband, Mr. Frank Mitchell who departed this life February 24, 1917. Gone to come no more. Is it possible, dear husband? He was a devoted husband. Though I loved him, God knew best. The voice we loved so well is silent, one year ago and though on earth his body lies the soul I trust is in heaven. Farewell, dear husband, farewell, we must say until we meet beyond the river where it will no more depart to mourn his loss. Loving wife, Mrs. Julia H. Mitchell Sister, Mrs. Mary Brown Father-in-law, Mr. R. D. Holmes MAXWELL-In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, Miller, C. Maxwell, who departed this life March 1, 1917. Yes, we'll meet again in the morning, in the dawn of a fairer day, when the night of watching and waiting with its darkness has passed away. Where no shadows will vell the sunshine, over there in the heavenly land, and the crystal waves of the river, ever flow over the golden sand. Where my precious one now is dwelling, free from toil and from every care; with his garment spotless and shining, like the robes that the angel wears. When our pilgrimage is completed, and our footsteps no longer roam, by the pearly gates gladly waiting he will give us a welcome home. O what joy when all shall be over, and the journey on earth we close, and the angels homeward shall bear us, where the life stream forever flows. We shall see the king of glory, we shall praise Him with harp and voice, we shall sing the grace that redeemed us, while our hearts in His love rejoice. Wife, Mrs. Carrie Maxwell Daughter, Mrs. Carrie Green West Palm Beach, Fla. Bro, Mr. Adolphus Maxwell France. Son, Master Joseph Maxwell FERGUSON—In memory of my dear husband, Alexander Ferguson, who departed this life in Philadelphia March 2 1917. Just one year ago, dear husband, you left us. Though it seems many times as long. Our hearts are still yearning for you, husband, we miss your gentle voice but well done thy servant of God, rest on the battle is fought, the victory, won and the pain of death has passed and his soul is at rest; it taketh on loftier swell, it whispers, love somewhere with God. Sleep on my devoted husband and take thy rest, we will meet you again. Wife, Mrs. Alexander Ferguson Mother, Mrs. Julia Ferguson Father, Mr. Richard Ferguson Sister, Mrs. Hattie Ferguson Savannah, Ga GREEN—In memory of our husband and father, Samuel C. Green, who departed this life 26 years ago, but his memory lingers still. Samuel heard the Shepherd when he called and went to obey his will. Twenty-six years ago he left us, left us with an aching heart. He was anchored in Christ Jesus and was ready at his command. He is gone but not forgotten. Sleep on my beloved, sleep and take your rest, we will meet one morning at the beautiful gate. Wife and children. Mrs. M. E. Greene Mrs. M. E. Lockly, Chester, Pa. Mrs. R. G. Mark, Sylvania, Ga.
