The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIII Sixty Nine Drowned When City of Athens Went Down MANY NEGROES AMONG CREW WERE LOST James Wallace, Negro Fireman, Among Heroes of the Catastrophe The City of Athens, a steamer of the Ocean Steamship Company plying between this city and New York, went down about 1:30 o'clock Wednesday morning after she was rammed by a friendly French cruiser off the Delaware coast as she was proceeding on her way to this port. A dense fog had settled over the sea and neither ship was aware of the nearness of the other until the crash came. There were one hundred and thirty-five persons aboard, including the crew, sixty-five of them being lost. There seemed to have been little chance for escape as the steamer sank within about four minutes after she was rammed, most of those who perished being trapped or those who perished being trapped in their berths by the inrushing water. The cruiser immediately played her powerful searchlights on the sinking vessel and by this means she was able to pick up many of those who had succeeded in getting away from the ship and were floating around in the water. Among those on the ill-fated ship were many Negroes, members of the crew, about ten of whom were lost. Two of the known Negro dead are Mr. Arthur Dilworth and Mr. Prince Monroe. Mr. Dilworth who for fifteen years was a postman in this city, resisting about a month ago to take up work in the north. He left here three weeks ago for New York and was to begin his new work there next week. Not being employed at the time and A HERO OF THE ILL-FATED SHIP M. Mr. James Wallace who saved four persons from drowning Mr. James Wallace who saved four persons from drowning seeing an opportunity to visit his relatives heje he decided to make the trip for the night watchman who desired a trip off. Before setting sail on the vessel he forwarded a special to his wife. Mrs. Frances Dilworth of 220 Park avenue, east, informing her that he was sailing on the Athen and would be in the city for a few days. The letter, was received by her but a few hours after the ship went down. Mr. Dilworth is the brother of Mr. Frank Dilworth, proprietor of Frank's Shoe Repair Shop. Barnard street, and Dr. Benjamin Dilworth of Yazoo City, Miss. Mr. Prince Monroe was the father of Mr. Andrew Monroe, one of the city postmen, and was a member of the ship's crew for some time. Among the other Negroes drowned were William Kelly, W. J. Middleton, R. Jones and William Walker, most of them waiters. Many deeds of heroism were recounted by the survivors. Among these was the story of Mrs. Mary Pickard Harrison, of New York, daughter of the president of Mercer University and for several years pastor of one of the leading white Baptist churches in this city, who with her two year old baby and two white men was saved by a Negro coal-passer by the name of James Wallace. Wallace lives at 211 Williams court, this city, and is the son of Mrs. Emma Ensign. Mrs. Harrison's account of the catastrophe and her rescue by the Negro coal passer is as follows: "Shortly after 1 o'clock," said Mrs. Harrison. "I was awaken by the terrible crash, and ran toward the stair way from my stateroom, on the saloon deck. I met a ship's officer who called to me to hurry back and get a life preserver. I returned, put a coat over my nightdress and snatched up the baby. The list of the ship was >> Mammoth Negro Thrift Stamp Parade Will Be Held Next Wednesday Afternoon [Name] Mr. Arthur Dilworth who was making a trip on the ill-fated ship. Among the colored men accepted for enlistment in the army during the past week were the following from this section: Jack Smalls; Charleston, S. C. Richard Crosby, Branchville, S. C. John Parson, Lake City, S. C. Matthew Butler, Charleston, S. C. Olend Holmes, St. George, S. C. James Skurry, Lake City, S. C. James Scott, Lake City, S. C. These men, along with others from other sections, are now on duty at some Atlantic port in Stevedore regiments of the quartermaster corps of the national army. At the camp where they are wearing soldiers' uniform serving under the colors are many other young colored men of this section, who have volunteered some time ago. Some of those who volunteered some time past are now on duty at Atlantic ports in France, loading and unloading ships. Army recruiting officials state that an unlimited number of colored men are needed in the army, for these Stevclore regiments. Those volunteering must be between the ages of 18 to 21 and 20 to 40, not registered for service under the selective draft. WEST BROAD STREET MERCHANTS CLOSE EARLY Will Be of Benefit to the Public in eral and also the Employes The early closing inaugurated recently by the West Broad Street Merchants, which is in keeping with the new idea of conservation of time, will doubtless be greatly appreciated by the thousands of patrons of these stores. The new closing hour is now 7:30 and it will be strictly adhered to except on Saturday when the time for shutting the doors remains the same as heretofore. great that I had difficulty in climbing few lights were still burning in the saloon, but the deck was dark and practically deserted. "I saw a life boat, but no one was paying any attention to it except a United States marine, who lifted the baby into the boat. I was about to climb in, with his aid, when the steamship toppled and my grasp on the gunwale slipped. I caught up the baby as the ship sank under the whirling waters. When I came up, choking and almost unconscious from the water, with the little one in my arms, we were directly under the bow of a lifeboat. "A man, whom I afterwards learned was a Negro fireman, James Wallace of No. 211 Williams court, Savannah, lifted the baby from my arms. I lost consciousness. When I regained my senses I found myself half lying in the lifeboat, partly covered with a piece of canvass, which I wrapped around the baby. My coat and nightdress were torn and tattered from the struggle to drag me in. After that Wallace rescued a marine, and civilian. "That brave Negro deserves a medal. "We were in the lifeboat for about two hours before we were picked up by the crew of the French cruiser. I cannot speak too highly of the gallantry and kindness of the French officers and men SAVANNAH, GEORGIÀ, SATURDAY MAY 4TH, 1918 OVER ONE HUNDRED SOCIETIES AND SCHOOLS WILL TAKE PART----15,000 PERSONS EXPECTED IN LINE Demonstration Will Be Biggest Ever Held Here By Negroes---Rev. P. James Bryant of Atlanta to Deliver Principle Address at Park Extension Following Parade The mammoth citizens' parade which will be held next Wednesday afternoon as an opener of the War Savings and Thrift Stamp campaign among Negroes in this city and county gives every promise of being the biggest and most spectacular demonstration ever held here by Negroes. Already over one hundred churches, societies, lodges and schools and hundreds of business and professional men and laborers have signified their intention of being in the line of march. The organized bodies all had representatives at the meeting of the committee in charge of the parade, which was held Monday night at the Savannah Home Association and gave an estimate of the number of persons they expected to have out. It is expected that at least fifteen thousand persons will be in the line of march with every society of any note in the city having a creditable representation. The day has been proclaimed a general holiday among the Negro business men of the city and all Negro business houses will be closed in the afternoon from about 2 o'clock. Mayor Pierpont has issued a proclamation calling on all colored citizens to take part in the demonstration and requesting the big business houses to give their Negro employees a part holiday. Supt. Gibson of the public schools has ordered all the city and nearby county schools to turn out and from this source alone about two thousand children will be in line. Every Negro church of any note will be in line with its members led by the pastor in charge. The various labor unions will be there, too, in full strength. The parade will form at West Broad and Henry streets, the various organizations lining up on as many cross streets north of Henry as are necessary. It will be led by the Uniform Rank, K. of P. under command of Col. C. S. Andrews. The Uniform Rank, K. of D. uniformed members of the Toussaint L'Overture Chapter of the Red Cross and the various drill corps of ladies will come next, followed by the numerous organizations. Owing to the large movements of troops at the various cantonments, it may be that the detachment of troops from Camp Gordon may not be availafor the parade. The parade will go north on West Broad to Broughton, east to Bull and then sohth to the park extension where an address will be delivered by the Rev P. J. Bryant of Atlanta, one of the three Negroes of the state selected by the government to speak in behalf of War Savings and Thrift Stamps. There will be no vehicles of any sort in line. Every body is required to walk except Chief Marshal Julius Maxwell and his assistants, Jacob Wright, L. W. Beasley, E. L. Martin, G. L. Binyard and Edward Hurd. The parade will assemble at 3:30 o'clock at West Broad and Henry streets. The organizations to take part are: On Monday night at 9 o'clock there will be a meeting of the committee in charge of the arrangements for the parade at which those who have charge of the various organizations which will march are requested to be present to get the assignments or places in the parade and other detailed information.

PUPILS MAY ENLIST IN QUARTERMASTER'S DEPT. Pupils in the senior class of the Ga. State Industrial College of Savannah may be enlisted in the English Reserve Corps of the Quartermaster's Department of the army and still remain at their studies. Instructions to this effect have been received by the Savannah army recruiting station. Those enlisted in the reserve corps would continue their work at the college and be placed in class 5 in the draft. The following paragraph from a telegram sent the governor of the state by Provost Marshal General is self-explanatory: "Under such regulations as the Quartermaster General may prescribe, students pursuing a course of agriculture. In the senior year, in landgrant agricultural colleges, whose class standing places them in the upper third of the senior class as determined by the school authorities, may enlist in the English Reserve Corps of the Quartermaster Department, and therefore, upon presentation by the registrant to his local board of such enlistment, such certificate shall be filed with the Questionarie and that registrant shall be placed in class 5 on the ground that he be in the Military Service of the United States." All seniors at the institution who are enlisted in this manner will be enlisted at the local army recruiting站.

MING FASHIONS SPELL SIMPLICITY Figured Materials Favored Of Fashion New York, April 30.—A great many of the stores are having their Spring openings now, and there are fashions from Paris to show us what the French are doing; Fashions from the Orient (Chiefly in colorings and designs is the Orient present), and American fashions made from American materials. There is one thing noticeable in all the newest modes, and that is the extreme simplicity even when there is a great deal of hand embroidery and braiding. The overblouse is enjoying great popularity, and can be seen in every kind of costume, from sports clothes to the © MCCALL most elaborate evening gowns. There are fascinating slipover creations of Georgette crepe, embroidered or beaded, with their sashes (for they all have lashes) slipped through slashes in the front and back. One of these dainty accessories was of gray Georgette crepe, braided in gray soutache, with an underdress of cloth- of-silver. The effect was perfectly charming, as you can well imagine. Negligees and Kimonos Never have the style in these feminine fripperies and comforts been so interesting and distinctive. There are wonderful affairs of Batik silk, and the other extreme of simplicity, dotted twiss, appropriate for the, warm languid summer days. There are many potticoats. One wonderful one, imported from Paris, was well worth studying. The underneath part was of ecru satin, the skirt accordion-pleated, the waist a tight peasant waist, corded around the neck and armholes. Over this was a wide lace, with the figured part at the waistline, the neck being simply gathered upon a silver cord; the skirt of this was gathered onto the waist. Under this lace overdress was a wide rose girdle-sash, loosely tied in the back. The sleeves were of silver net, long and flowing, wonderfully draped so that the lowest edge touched the hem. Altogether, it was the most charming thing I have ever seen. Figured Voiles for Summer There are any number of pretty materials that are figured this Spring and Summer. The voiles, silk and cotton, and the chiffons are absolutely bewitching and most attractive when combined with plain Georgette or volle. The one illustrated here is extremely simply, the sleeves, collar and vest being of flesh-colored volle, and the dress of a quaint design in black and white. There is no trimming; no trimming is necessary. The shoped tunic and plain jumper are features of the mode. Lines and Bright Colors Linen suits, Eton jackets, or more tailed effects, are being shown a great © MOCALL Simple Dress of Georgette Creps and Salin deal with organdle waists, collars and cuffs, and even set-in strips of the organdle. The lines are all straight and the effect very plain, for the colors are bright, and others-wise the result would be gaudy. Vests of striped plique are very popular. Some-times there is a high collar of net, tied in a big bow in the back, with a jabot falling in graceful folds down the front. These are worn with the silk sports suit, as well as linen, pongee or wool. There are hints as to the increasing vogue for flannel suits and, especially, separate skirts, but they will be cut on very straight slim lines on account of the conservation of all woolen materials. The separate waist is a thing of beauty, whether it be of handkerchief linen or batiste, wash silk or satin, or of Georgette crepe or chiffon. Sometimes they are elaborately beaded or embroidered, sometimes they are a combination of materials and colors, sometimes they are clusters of handrun tucks. At any time they are fresh and becoming, a great addition to the wardrobe of the woman of fashion and taste. If they match the suit or skirt, there may be a touch of contrasting color in, for instance, the tie. Loose lines, baggy sleeves, cut body and sleeves in one, are the newest fads of Dame Fashion. For the semi-dress afternoon occasion, the little dress illustrated here is most attractive. There is an interesting neck-out-line and oddly shaped tunic. The lower part of the skirt and the bands are of satin, and the rest of the dress of Georgette crepe. Long sleeves are great favorites this spring. BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Butler Presbyterian chureh, Rev. S. T. Redd, pastor. On Sunday at the morning service the text was taken from Ecc 3-7, "A time to keep silence, and a time to speak."

Ala.—The task of selecting the prize winning letter submitted in the recent contest for the best and most interesting description of an experience with Negro merchants, has already begun. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee and chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, and Mr. Monroe N. Work, editor of the Negro Year Book, have both kindly consented to go over the letters and help to select the winner. Interesting to me is the fact that few letters were critical of Negro business men; most all of them were words of praise which indicates just how much progress the race is making in business development and just how much the business men of the race are profiting by encouraging confidence and faith in them on the part of the masses of our people. Mr. Tom Tate, of Ebenzer, Mississippi, comments in his letter regarding Mr. A. J. Howard, a merchant of his city, as follows: "As a merchant he is straight forward in his dealings with all customers of all races; in his approach he is polite and pleasant and makes one feel almost complimented to hear him say "Come again". Since I started in sixteen years ago as his customer, he has given me most wholesome advice and through his aid and encouragement. I have acquired three hundred and forty acres of land and have educated my five oldest children and helped to prepare them for more useful citizenship.**** For the speedy acquirement of racial wealth and prosperity, let each colored person patronize the colored merchant re- membering that a race divided against itself cannot stand". (To be continued next week) MOREHOUSE COLLEGE NEWS Atlantis, Ga.-Sunday evening, April 21, Dr. W. E. Chalmers, the educational secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society, delivered an address on "Action." The college was interested in both the speaker as well as the speech as he was an old school mate of President Hope. At Monday's chapel service various representatives of the American Publication Society who were in conference at the college were in chapel. The devotions were conducted by Dr. Roberts of South Carolina. Dr. Nell was settled upon to address the student body. He took his text from Col. 3:2 "Set your affections on things above." Dr. Calloway of Alabama, Mr. Young, Mr. Weatherford, Dr. S. N. Vass, Dr. W. E. Chalmers, of Pennsylvania, Mr. Cole of Pennsylvania, Dr. Lyle, Dr. Scott of Texas and Dr. Nell were among those at the morning services. Augustus Johnson has be en summoned to the U. S. Army. The new service flag has been placed in chapel. It contains 82 stars. We feel happy to know that there were so many in our ranks that were fit to go and were able to show the spirit that those men showed by not only awaiting their call but volunteered even, still under age. Mr. Nathaniel Tillman of the sophmore class was called home to attend the funeral of his grandmother. Both the student body and faculty extend to the bereaved family their heartfelt sympathy. Talladega College ended its stay in Atlanta by losing to Morehouse, the score being 14 to 5. Talladega was able to score in only inning and that was the first. Bryan pitched a fine game, while his team-mates battered out the victory. Talladega used Cox and Brothers but they were ineffective in addition to the fact that they received poor support. Thursday was a great day for Morehouse. A large number of men was permitted to canvass the business section of Atlanta for the purpose of selling tickets for the Atlanta Y. M. C. A. on Butler street. It has not been stated how much money was raised in this manner, but it is felt that a large sum was raised, as one team of Morehouse (that is two men) raised $30. All of the colleges of the city took part in this movement. The Morehouse Y. M. C. A. is giving a matinee musical for the purpose of raising funds on Saturday for the Kinrs Mountain Conference.

THIS IS A MEATLESS DAY Among The Masons Harmony Pleasant unity among brethren can only be realized by a harmonious blending of their lives on a plane of mutual food feeling. Throughout the ages, man has been seeking for harmony of soul. The great primal craving of his existence has been for satisfaction for that which leaves his spirit calm and perfectly at rest. With a record of bloody war, of strife, of intrigue, of study, of philosophies born and dead, of religion risen and perished, of hearts broken and souls lost the story holds. Some have striven for power, which, when attained, has been often found barren and cheerless. Others have sought fame, only to find the cankering worm at the heart of the rose. Still others pursued pleasure as the golden charm, but wake from their delusion to find only ashes in their eager hands. Even the religions of the world have set up the supreme ideal of a beautiful hereafter where "the weary shall find rest" whether it be merely the Nirvana of the Hindu or the Heaven of the Christian. They hold this up as the great end of man. But, after countless ages of groping in the darkness, of painful suffering against rough corners and weary mourning over broken hopes, the children of men have at last come to realize that only in one way in this world may the supreme joy of peace and harmony be obtained. That is by the attainment of a clear approving conscience resulting from a pure heart, a well ordered life that "needeth not to be ashamed, and an active, helpful, harmonious association with their fellow men." All other things of life are merely incidental and secondary. As Masons we naturally consider this general principle. It is the cornerstone of our Order. From it springs the eternal fountain that pulses life to the whole fabric. The manner of devotion to this central principle determines the life of Masonry or of any particular Lodge. Harmony is more than mere individual peace of soul. We are so constructed that we cannot live fully except with our fellow men; are like branches of a tree, all bound to a common root. None is complete without the others. A good many years ago one who was very near to us had come estranged from a neighbor and former associate. For years the unhappy separation continued. As a boy we felt its sting. Finally, however, there was a time when both men came to become members of a fraternal society. By what seemed a most mysterious process the two men were brought together thru the kindly offices of their new brethren and also thru mutual concessions. The past was blotted, the two men clasped hands and for years after lived and worked together as exemplary friends and neighbors. At length the other man came to that place where all clasp hands for the last time on earth. And who was it that sat with him as the sun sank, assisted his family, helped to settle his worldly affairs? It was the one who had been made, a friend again thru the kindly influence of a good Masonic Lodge. As Masons, the Masonic Lodge is to us the happiest and most inspiring place upon the earth. It is the charm-circle. Whatever faults it possesses, it has much that is good. As a rule our brethren dwell in pleasant unity. Sometimes, it is true, discords and disruptions may break out within the circle. But these storms frequently serve to clear the atmosphere as a shower refreshes a summer day. Only when harmony is broken do we fully appreciate its worth. The contrast augments its value. The effort to heal the breach, the forgiving spirit, all bring to the surface the Masonic virtues and leaves them stronger than they were before. Within the lodge we present the best sides of our natures. The world and its animosities are left behind. A vast part of the power of affection that rules life today is the result of com- mon experience. Men in the same business or profession, where local Jealosy is not involved, find a bond of mutual sympathy and interest. Soldiers who have passed through a campaign or a war together are united forever after by a mysterious bond that no other can share. Even in the home, one reason for the love of brothers and sisters is the fact of a common experience, a close association. So it is with Masons. Each of us has ascend over the same rocky way. As a circle we stand together, distinct from the rest of the world. Our experience is unique. We are Masons and only those who have trod the path that our feet have also passed can stand with us on the level and understand. Ours is a rich opportunity. Many of the troubles of life are the result of misunderstandings and things that hold us apart from close contact and effort and opportunity to reconcile. The Masonic Lodge is the place where brethren may be host easily restored to harmony. The lodge is the clearing house for misunderstandings that keep brethren apart.—Masonic Monthly. The black-ball has its uses, as well as its abuses. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By A. B. Singfield. All aboard for Macon, Ga., to attend the state session of the Georgia Negro Business League, which will convene Tuesday May 14, jointly with the Georgia State Medical Association. Let every business man in Georgia decide for the sake of business and its sterling promotion that each one will do his bit to promote this business session. The call has been issued, the echo of which is being sounded in stentorian tone in every nook and corner of the state, so let us rally to the call that we may be able to put it over the top. The president, the sick and indisposed, has communicated with the president of the State Medical Association with the view of arranging a joint program in order that the session of both bodies may be amicably arranged. Quite a delegation from every section of the state will be expected. Macon will be a good place for anyone to spend a few days vacation during the session of the state league and State Medical Association; as we will have all the doctors there that week, and will be in position to take care of all the people who chance to go. Our state secretary, J. C. Lindsay, has been communicated with by President A. B. Singfield, and is on the firing line, and has assured the writer that he is going to put it over the top. We also congratulate our mutual friend and co-worker, Mr. C. W. Gaines, who is the state vice president, and who has been an ardent worker and is still doing his bit to put things over the top. Vice President Gaines assures us that Waveross will be well represented. We, are told that Valdosta has organized a progressive league, which gives us reasons to believe that Valdosta will be in line and will be strongly represented in Macon. We have a number of business and progressive men in Valdosta, as Valdosta is the original home of our vice president of the State League in the person of that interpid C. W. Gains. When we think of such men as Dr. C. C. Strickling, Messrs. Hudson, Walton, Rivers, White and a host of others too numerous to mention, we are no failure for a city backed by such splendid talent. Let us consider Brunswick, with her Chas. A. Clark, Messrs. Pitts, Byrd and others. Bainbridge with Messrs. Bynes. Hutto, Thornton and others; Albany with Messers. Bynes. Hutto, Thornton and others; Albany with Messers. McCarthy, Watson, Dr. King and others. Americus with Messrs. Warren, Simmons, Dr. Brinson and others, Augusta with Messrs. Hornsby, Spaulding, Walker, Drs. Stoney, Williams and others, and a host of others cities and citizens in Georgia who should feel called upon at this time to help promote the interest of business and professional interest among the Negroes. May I repeat that we have made good along religious and social lines, but it is a fact as well as a duty that still awaits us to do our bit toward the development and promotion of bigger business among the race. In the mind of the writer no greater stimulating for success in business could be had than to have a great get-to gether meeting, such as our state session will be: where we can listen to business and professional men relate their experiences in business. Tell of their humble beginning and their successful operation. Tell of their many experiences of the past, of their disappointments and their short comings, of their fortunes and misfortunes and thereby inspire and exelite greater ambition into the less fortunate ones of our race. Then too, the call is extended to the business women of the race to be present to help inspire and push things over the top. It is worth while to attend this convention. It is worth while to make the sacrifice necessary in order that ye may get new business ideas to inject into your business at home. Some man or woman who has not been successful in business as they feel they should have been or who may not have gotten sufficient patronage from the race in the past, may get a remedy at this convention to save the life of a dying business and thereby put it over the top. These are some of the things for which the Negro Business League stands. The next regular meeting of the Savannah Business League will be held May 17. Come early and bring a new member.

SATURDAY MAY 4TH, 1918 Busy as the nation finds itself with making war through conservation, production, efficiency and what not, and bad as the war situation finds itself abroad, the state of Georgia is tuning up for a sharp and fiercely contested political campaign. We have noted how similar campaigns in other states have been minimized, restricted and localized and disallowed to over shadow and overwhelm the nation's serious business. The fickleness of public opinion is well illustrated in that, although it is sought to make the issue as between loyalty and disloyalty, support of the President's war program and opposition to it, Americanism and pro-Germanism, as represented by Harris and Hardwick respectively, there still is left enough of public doubt as to relative political strength to give the state's politicians grave concern. The complexity of the situation is intensified by the advent of some half dozen other aspirants who claim to have yielded to the overtures and persuading of "the dear peepul." our business, our prepossessing, all absorbing interest, is war-making and whatever is enjected into the nation's program to interfer with or obstacle this business, is a species of disloyalty and slacking. Away with it! THE COMMUNITY SING The Community Sing, the first of its kind held by colored people in this city, held at the Municipal Auditorium, last Sunday afternoon, was a very distinct success. The singing of the Community Songs, the national airs and popular war songs led by the Community Chorus, and the Junior Chorus, directed by Prof. R. W. Gadsden and Miss Alice M. Ellis, respectively. The spirit engendered by the occasion was a fine experience for the vast congregation and inspired the people with a newer thought, a clearer vision and a brighter outlook and possibility. Fellow-feeling and patriotism reigned rampant, and supreme and the volumes of music poured forth from the throats of the enthusiastic throng. Stories of the valor and courage of colored men in the great crisis of the past mingled with the vivid first-hand accounts of the horrors which Americans black and white, are just now about to undertake and in which these same men are expected to give a good account of themselves. The broad, and high ground of all the speakers; the hopeful views of race relationships and understandings after the war, the note of loyalty and patroltism which all present plodged to the nation,—all these combined to produce a grand ensemble, an occasion of unusual patriotic fervor and demonstration. We are beginning to catch the vision of what the real democracy may mean; and what it may mean to be a citizen in a free land; and we think we discern that the other folk are having a newer and clearer revelation of what is their duty and obligation to ten millions of Americans in whom, until war, their interest has been extremely doubtful. These occasions are serviceable and inspiring and the extreme and we should have more of them. We trust the committee in charge of the work may find its way clear to render these brilliant programs with some regularity. MEMORABLE DAY Next Wednesday, May 8th, will be a momentable day in the life of Savannah and its people, white and black, if it shall not even be memorable in the annuus of the state. It is going to be remarkable amongst colored people because the mammoth parade will be so representative of the unanimity and solidarity of colored people and will indicate their willing response to their loyal and unselfish leadership The occasion will be unusual for white folk, because it will upset some lingering traditions that Negroes are still divided and unthinking, and can still be played against each other. Wednesday will bring out the "souls of the black folk" of Savannah, their hearts beating in perfect accord with the great principles which inspires patriotism and national duty in their hour of natural peril and trial. It will disclose the burning zeal of black men for the dawn of the days of democracy, fulfilled and actualized, and for the mlnenum of fellowship and brotherhood, pure and unreserved. Every worthy colored man, woman and child physically able to do so will be in line to deplicate himself to the great causes of racial interests now at stake, before the great public of this city, this state and the nation—marching in eloquent attest of the loyalty and nationalism of a race, too, long ignored and too often overlooked, and in respectable protest for a man's chance in exchange for a man's risk in the affairs of a nation. The occasion is to be so significant of the curious combination of the trials and triumphs of the race as to be a most uncanny occurrence. The vanguard of the race will be there as well as the denizens of Negro ghettos, unlettered and unkept—the complete kaleidoscope of racial gamut, but all of a common mind and bent upon a common goal. It will be unfortunate, perhaps reflecting not to be in line, and in a certain sense those who do not join in will be disloyal to the highest iterates of the people. We trust there may be none such, and that the side walks will be clear of .egro spectators. Get in line, somewhere. No one is "too big" to be in line—no one too little! WHAT SAVINGS MAY MEAN The tremendous advantages which are to be derived from the great War Savings and Bond Campaigns now being waged can scarcely be overestimated. and Negro people are to be relatively at least, the greatest gainers. Because we have been prodigal, shiftless and improvident, these primary lessons in thrift in this season of high wages are so significant and so frought with possibilities, as to make us dream dreams. Wealth is power—always has been, and everywhere. Just now, in Germany, under the stress of war, the plutacracy is being forced to make certain suffrage concessions to the common people, who never before, because of their economic weakness, knew them. These plutacrats have long controlled political Germany, because of their great prestage through their wealth. Wealth to a large extent influences our own government, and certainly controls the industrial and hence the economic status of the great masses of the common people of America. Hence the vast wealth and improved economic and industrial status which will come to the Negro race because of wide spread savings and accumulation and what is more vital, the permanency of the thing, which will come from the fine lessons and practices of thrift in war times, these things are the factors which will count for so much in the future alignment of men and the hierarchy of groups in America and elsewhere. There is bound to be less troubles and friction and oppression, because there is to be very much less occasion for it. Greater wealth, increased economic power and wider industrial opportunity, all make for greater independence; and where there is greater independence, there is bound to be greater mutual tolerance and respect. We are surely travelling toward a better day, and we shall reach it under the dark clouds of war and the covenants of the new regime are already being written in blood on the battle fields of Europe. ...egro men and white men who fight, shoulder to shoulder, in common cause there, who bear each other wounded from the field, who share alike the woes and persecutions of prisoners of war,—will not think of each other, after they have passed "through the valley and the shadow of death", as perhaps they did formerly nor as perhaps some still may wish. There will exist against and between them the ineffaceable ties of blood-tought liberty and they will be determined and content to share it allike. Let us look beyond the little inconveniences of our lives of peace and security, to the great duty of helping the nation and those who stand be- THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY MAY 4TH, 1918 tween the terrible German army and the peace we enjoy—and lead the nation our money and lend until it hurts, and then some more—are the time keeping in mind that Democracy to the black man will be a sweeter morsel than to any other people because we have never tasted of its rich fortunes.

ITEMS WAYCROSS, GA, ITEMS Something over four dollars was taken up at the Demby recital to entertain the twenty-four boys that were to go to Camp Gordon. Sunday all the churches were canvassed to the extent that over fifty dollars were raised. One church deserves special mention for its liberality from which Dr. E. W. Verner reported gvar fifteen dollars. It is "The Church of the Living God." This church gave twice as much as any one of the rest. However, the boys were fittingly entertained at McGraws auditorium where suitable speeches were made by the leaders of Waycross and a plenty of refreshments served. Prof. John Henry Adams, printer, gave the boys a nicely arranged octavo folder souvenir mounted with a small American flag, also these words on the outside: "Testimonial to the boys who answer the cell of our country from Waycross, Ware county." Among other patriotic utterances on the inside the folder were these words: "We beg that those who shall become their new companions, leaders and officers, shall regard them as the tender offspring of a race that has produced no traitors, no assassins, no armenists, no rebels, no spies nor plotters against WILL YOU BE IN WEDNESDAY'S PARADE?

RESOLUTIONS The following resolution was adopted by the officers and members of the Evening Call Aid and Social Club.

Resolved: That whereas it pleased the Supreme Ruler of the Universe to remove from our midst one of our most loyal members and officers in the person of Bro. Charlie King, and whereas we feel that our loss is heaven's gain, and whereas in his death, this club not only lost a true member, each brother a faithful friend, and one who was truly a brother in Friendship, Charity and Benevolence.

Prof. Pearson presented the gifts, among which were a beautiful military belt from the faculty, a pair of cuff buttons from the Second Normal Class, and a Bible from W. D.

We wish to thank the public for the very liberal patronage given us on Friday night of last week. The oratorical contest was a decided success. We have been flooded with requests for its repetition. And no wonder, when young men, yet in their teens, one after the other each easily holding the audience spell-bound with an oration such as was never heard before. Those young men showed wonderful ability in the art of speaking, aside from the fact that they were well trained. The following were the speakers: T. J. Hopkins, Earnest Hemby, Clarence Sampson, Earnest Maynor, Alphonse Roberts and Nathaniel Collier. Mr. T. J. Herkins won first prize and Mr. Ernest Hemby won the second prize. These prizes were won by very narrow margin. The competition between the three years of duet singers was exceedingly good. The sweet and mellow voices of the six contestants made it hard for the judges to decide. They sang in the following order: No. 1 Misses Bell Brown and Lou Iverson, No. 2. Little Misses Louise Smalls and Evyln Hudson; No. 3. Misses Bernea and Theodosia Thurman. The first and second prizes were awarded to Misses Brown and Iverson and Misses Smalls and Hudson, respectively. The Y. M. C. A. quartette composed of very young men, charmed the audience with their first selection and was forced back on an anchor. The Imperial quartet, the victor of many contests swept the audience from its feet with its rendition. The Imperials won first prize and the Y. M. C. A. second. All of the participants on this occasion with the exception of four, were students of the Ga. State College, and the Y. M. C. A. owes this splendid institution a debt of gratitude for its assistance on this particular occasion. Misses Lou Iverson, Jennie Stoney, Orene Childs and Ruby Atkinson of the Y. W. C.

PAGE SIX The most significant event of the seventh Southern Sociological Congress, which met recently in Birmingham, was the holding of a section on Race Relations, presided over by Dr. James Hardy Dillard, of Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards and a well-known southren educator. Thoughtful white and colored leaders of the South discussed with rare frankness, sympathy, and understanding, their common problems. The white newspapers carried the details of the section of Race Relations, and made favorable editorial comment on the South's new attitude toward Negroes. Dr. Dillard said: "At each of the preceding five meetings members of the two races have met together in the South and spoken out in good-will their thoughts on matters of mutual concern. These meetings have had a healthy influence in strengthening the public sentiment in favor of good feeling and right dealing." Investment of Surplus Monroe N. Work, of Tuskegee Institute, editor of the Negro Year Book" spoke on "The Relation of Negro Labor to the War and Migration." he said: "While some of the surplus money earned by colored people working on the erection of cantonments, aviation fields, and the construction of ships, has been spent foolishly for automobiles and silk dresses, it is nevertheless true that the colored people in large numbers throughout the South have invested their surplus money in live stock, in lands, and in other useful ways. The colored people have spent a considerable amount of their surplus money for the education of their children. In connection with the Rosenwald Rural School Campaign, the colored people have raised, since June 1914, $170,000. Negroes have also been investing their money in Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. South's New Attitude "Recently white people and black people in almost every section of the South have had meetings and have discussed frankly the causes of migration and the remedies for bettering conditions. "The new attitude, which the South has assumed toward labor, is that labor is to receive better pay; be accorded more just treatment; be accorded better protection under the law and be provided with better educational facilities. "The greatest cause for disatisfaction which Negro labor now has in the South is not wages, but the treatment which the ordinary Negro receives from representatives of the law—policemen, constables, sheriffs and petty officers—men who are too free with their pistols. "The natural desire of the Negro is to remain in the South. All he asks is that while other Negroes in France are battling that the world may be made safe for democracy, the South may be made safe for the most humble colored man or woman who toils for daily bread." Education the Remedy Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, speaking before a general session on "The Duty of Southern Labor during the War," said that the South's answer to the nation's call in her greatest crisis is the unstinted and loyal support of all the Negroes of the South, and, indeed, of the nation. He added: "The best means of bringing about a more sympathetic and helpful relationship between the two races in the South is through systematic training and practical education for both races. This means loyalty and efficiency. "All the dictates of justice and humanity would seem to indicate that we should be fair to the hewer of wood and the drawer of water, regardless of class, race, or creed, not merely because they may hew more wood or draw more water, but that they may be encouraged to look forward to that day when they, through efficiency and reliability, may be able to hew wood upon their own land and enjoy the fruits of their own labor. The prosperity of the South is bound up with the improvement of the Negro. Just in proportion as he becomes more efficient reliant and dependable, will the prosperity of the South be increased. It must be remembered that two-thirds of all the land in the South is cultivated by Negro labor. One-tenth of all the farm property in the South is owned by Negroes. "Many Negroes have told me that they would much rather live in the South than in the North provided they could get from one-half to two-thirds the wages in the South which they receive the North and be assured of adequate educational facilities and fair, just treatment. I am laying especial emphasis upon the necessity of more education for AHE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE the Negroes because the most successful, reliable, and influential elements in the Negro race, as in every other race, is the educated class—a class which has the greatest influence for caution and conservatism—a class that is most patient and persistent in its efforts to fit the whole Negro race for freedom and citizenship in the broadest and best sense." ATLANTA UNIVERSITY DEFEATS TUSKEGEE Atlanta University played two games last Friday and Saturday at Tuskegee Institute. The first game which resulted in a score of 1 to 0 in favor of Atlanta University was a battle royal. Walter P. McCarthy of Albany did the hurling for Atlanta and his teammates gave him perfect support. He has not lost a game this season. Among his victims are Clark University and some others. In the second game it was predicted that the high nerve tension of the day before was going to tell on one team or the other. Atlanta seemed to have tightened up every screw in her machine, leaving the speed controller R. J. Jefferson, to turn on the power at will. The team gave Jefferson the same sort of support that they gave McCarthy the day before. It looked up to the fifth inning as if it would be another 1 to 0 game when by skillful maneuvering, Atlanta filled her bases and then "Slugger W. S. Fooler of Columbus came up and rapped out a "hemer". He again came up and repeated the dose. Then Tuskegee, after a dogged and determined fight, saw that it was all over and the game closed with 12 chalked down to the credit of Atlanta against Tuskegee's 0. Too much cannot be said for Jefferson—the poison mixer—for all his appenents this season. Germany has her wonder gun while Atlanta University has a wonder truck garden. While other people are just planting, our superintendent, A. S. Huthe, has gathered and sold fifty dollars worth of spinach on the tract of land measuring about 30 by 100 feet. His second crop on the sonic spot goes into the ground this week. He has the finest crop in this section of the state despite the cold and backward season. The Atlanta University alumni are planning to let the war make no difference in their annual gift of $1.00 each to the University, as a minimum which everybody will give. The Herndon prizes in public speaking, given by Mr. A. F. Herndon of Atlanta were won as follows: First prize: Herbert Greenwood of Atlanta; Virginia Graham of Memphis, Tennessee; Second prizes: Roy Proctor of Atlanta; Wilhelmina Sheppard, Louisville, Ky.; Third prizes: Lewis R. Harper, of Atlanta; Minnie Lee Knox, of Summerville. FROM THE CANTONMENTS No 33 Edgar H. Webster. Principal Normal Dept. Atlanta University. "The first step in good composition" said our English professor, "is the gathering of the material." The letters received from our men in the cantonments illustrate that this first step is being taken by them. Our young men are having experiences full of interest and which they are describing graphically. These letters seem to me too crisply to keep to myself and unless the letter has too personal note I find myself sharing them with their friends and with my friends. And this is not altogether my own habit, for one of them writes, "Your letter has been read by each of the school comrades with me in camp." A clipping from a northern paper contains the rumor that the 92d division, "our" division is now undergoing intensive training preparatory for early removal to the western front; and we may be sure that the letters that we shall be receiving from "some where in France," will be drawn out of the new and interesting material that that battle-searred front offers. And this calls up a suggestion made by the government, as to the quality of our own letters to our boys in cantonment or at the front. "Write to the soldiers" we are told, "but write cheerful letters." Let the soldier feel "that his family and his friends stand behind him in the great enterprise that he has undertaken." In the same line I quote a letter written from one and recently published. "The evil temptations that surround a camp can best be met by the soldier who feels himself in close touch with the standards of his bringing up and correspondents will do well to keep the tone of their letters on a plane that will invigorate the morale of their boys in France. Boys who do not hear often from home or who get depressing and commonplace letters are much more likely to slip or fall than those whose families supply them with moral and mental refreshment." And the writer continues "This advice applies not only to parents and wives but to girl friends who should remember that as our soldiers come closer to the stern realities of life, they mature quickly and judge things more and more by their intrinsic value. When they finally come home they will not be satisfied with the trivialities that may have contented them before the war. They will be disappointed if they do not find a serious mental attitude to correspond with their own maturity of thought." The items that come to mind at this time gather around one cantonment, that of Camp Sherman, Ohio. Here the United States has established a Signal Service Battallion, and in this battalion a goodly number of our own youth have been placed. A good deal that is pleasant has been said about Camp Sherman. One young man writes "Camp Sherman has been called the ideal camp of America. I rise to confirm this statement. Y. M. C. A. number 75 colored secretaries and is usually considered a colored Y. M. C. A. but any soldier can go to any Y. M. C. A. and sit and read or write or attend any lecture he pleases and not a word of contempt is uttered, nor is any one 'jim crowed.' The same freedom holds in theatres, in ice cream parlors, and every where. One feels like an American." The largeness of the military life from the business side makes a strong appeal to our youth whose business experiences have necessarily been finited. "It is marvelous" writes one "how the government is able to collect clothes and food for so many and without apparent overrevention of any one. Yet here we are by the hundreds well-clothed and well-fed, and that regularly too. But more remarkable is it, how all these men can be compelled to work and how every one down to a single man is accounted for. But in addition to the general army discipline, such as every body's going to bed or getting up at a certain time, or doing any sort of labor without murmur, we the boys of the Signal Corps, have experienced that call for initiative and coolness that is not to be passed over GAL... TEX... lightly." "For the prime function of the Signal Corps is to transmit intelligence and when given a bit of information to find or to transmit, no excuse will be accepted as a sufficient reason for failure. Just how one will convey his message when his comrades and his apparatus have been wiped away by the enemy depends upon his initiative." The writer adds, "I am working hard or than I have ever worked in my life. I can take twelve words a minute from a wireless receiver. Fifteen accurately per minute are required. Thirty is the highest record ever made. One of your boys takes eighteen a minute." The wireless signalling has superseded other forms of signalling at the front, as these expose the sender to the fuson sniper whose sure aim instantly destroys the hand or head that raise into view. Stress is laid upon accuracy in sending messages. "One wrong word inserted may result in the loss of thousands of our comrades. We have a wireless station on the top of our barracks and the more advanced men get the war, weather, and base-ball news directly from the government stations at Annapolis and Arlington. We feel proud that our country has entrusted MEMBER FOOD LIBRARIES IT'S ONLY TWO DAYS EACH WEEK THIS IS A WHEATLESS DAY PUZZLE-FIND THE SLACKER DR. GEO. W. SMITH Physician and Surgeon Special Attention to the Diseases of Women and Children also Blood and Genite Urinary Diseases so important an office to us. We shall perform our tasks like men." The good feeling which Camp Sherman illustrates is matched by similar good feeling elsewhere. One writer in a published article says of Camp Dodge "There is a large contingent of Negro troopers here. It is interesting to note that there has been practically no friction resulting from race prejudice. Even the Southern soldiers salute the colored officers without any protest." Speaking of this to an officer from another cantenment, he replied "The same is true of our camp. The relations of the races are perfectly friendly." There has just come to hand a photograph of a colored company officered by colored officers. A hundred and thirty men are in the picture, and as they stand with rifle "at rest" each man looks every inch a soldier. This particular picture is of special interest for me, for of the four officers, three have been in my own classes, and because of this fact the picture has come to me. And as I look at those faces, each of which looks straight back at me, I can discern individual characteristics despite the uniformity of the khaki which they wear. And there comes again to me with a force that I cannot measure. the thought that here is Africa defending America; that portion of our citizenry that has not always felt the full measure of our Democracy still standing guard and preparing so it may soon go over the top in defence of the principles of the Pilgrims and the Puritans. And I am wondering as I continue to look at the picture what shall take place o "build up the sentiment of loyalty to country as the act of was these past twelve months has built up among us. Peace seems to be devisire, to separate men into groups; war unites. Peace develops group consciousness, selfishness! war dissolves all class lines and makes all brothers. There is a striking little phrase volume bearing upon the situation in which the world finds itself, which goes thus. "Through the war 1870 France took her soul out of the custody of an Emperor and handed it to her people; through the same war, Germany placed her soul in the hands of an Emperor. Defeated France, rid of her Bonapartes; victorious Germany, shackled to her Hohenzollen." Perhaps American has found its soul. I am sure that the men have found their souls. They have made the supreme sacrifice. How they may be called upon to carry this out in action none of us can tell. If they come back from France it will be as free men; if they do not come back they will have fought to make us free. Better that we all die free men, than that we all live slaves. And so, my brothers in khaki, trained to be soldiers by my own students, my prayer for you is but a paraphrase of the prayer in the Garden, "not that these should be taken out of the world, or necessarily left in the world; that. I leave to circumstance and to the Divine Will. But, righteous Father, whether they come back to us or present themselves at the last reverie before you, may they in either case have been kept from the evil of the world, and come to us or to You wearing the white flower of a blameless life. May they possess their souls."
