SAVANNAH BOYS MAKING
GOOD AT CAMP GORDON
Atlanta, Ga.—The Savannah boys are all in good spirits again after getting the first inoculation needle. We have two more to get before we finish. The camp life here is better than most of us had heard. There are some opportunities here and they seem to be in reach of those showing exceptional abilities for work and study. At present the following men are in the company school for non commission officers. If we do not win, we cannot say the chance was not given: Harry Gouldrock, Sims Thomas, Ben Norman, Fred Ward, Everett Theus, John Scott, John Bedgood, Scipio Thompson, Alexander Carter, Frank Callen Eddie Weston, George Shellman. The men are enthusiastic. Prof Jason easily takes honors here. On last Saturday night he put on the boxing gloves at the Y. M. C. A. and took all comers. EH made a tremendous hit on a man's rib and on the men of the camp.
Privates Allison, Hardwick, Bonner, McNeal and Roberts are always on hand to guide the new men along the right path.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MAY 11, 1918
EVERY CHURCH, SOCIETY, LODGE, LABOR UNION, AND SCHOOL IN CITY EXCEPT GA. STATE INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE IN LINE.
Address In Park Extension By Dr. P. James Bryant of Atlanta One of the Most Brilliant Ever Heard In This City. All Business Houses Let Help Off For Mammoth Demonstration.
The biggest, grandest and most spectacular civic parade ever held in this country by Negroes was that of Wednesday afternoon when 20,000 Negroes representing over a hundred different organizations marched through the city in one mammoth demonstration which marked the opening of the great campaign for the sale of Thrift Stamps in the First Congressional District of the state Savannah as headquarters. The parade was in every respect a colossal success and demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt the unwavering loyalty of Chatham county Negroes to the Stars and Stripes.
Those who viewed the almost unending line of marchers became eye-weary before the last file of fours passed by for it took fully one hour and forty minutes for the entire parade to pass a given point. Very nearly every Negro of note in the county was in line marching shoulder to shoulder with his less prominent brother. The well-to-do were there joining arms with the more humble of the race, the mechanic walked glidefully along with the laborer, the old and feeble were helped along in the grand procession by the strong. The cripple hobbling along on his ever trusty crutches and the invalid wheeled in their roller chairs went along in the two mile march all taking their share in this, the most remarkable demonstration held since the shackles of bondage were broken asunder by that document which fifty-three years ago gave to the Negro his freedom. Religious bodies vied with benevolent societies in adding splendor to the parade and a score of lodges marched forth together with almost countless social organizations in one magnificent sight.
The thousands of public school children of the city and county, led by their teachers, wore in line with the less numerous teachers and pupils of the private schools. Old men, weighed down with years of toil, members of the Grand Army of the Republic and wearing their full regalia, gave to the demonstration that touch of sacrificial service which only the appearance of these grand-old veterans can produce while the Red Cross Chapter with its junior members both dressed in their attractive uniforms was in line telling in no uncertain terms the great service which Negro women are performing in the titanic strudgle for world freedom which America and her allies are waging on the battlefields of Europe. The glitter of militarism was by no means lacking for this feature was supplied by the seven companies of the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythlas and Knights of Damon. A baby, too, was there, proud young America, seven months old being wheeled by his patriotic young parents in a carriage which hore the inscription "America, here's my boy."
The husky, robust, stalwart men of the waterfront, about 900 strong, men upon whom Uncle Sam is depending to load his ships with proprisions for the boys who are spilling their blood in the trenches that America might live unmolested by the heartless Hun, walked arm in arm with their hundreds
of brothers in toll who hailed from the shops of one of America's great railroad shops. Yes, everybody was there, every school, church, society and union, pastors and their entire congregations, black teachers with their black pupils, white teachers with their black pupils, all except the leading Negro school of this section of the state, the Ga. State College, which refused to participate in the demonstration. The pupils were willing and anxious to turn out but the narrowness of those in charge of the school, in spite of the invitation extended, prevented their participation in the demonstration.
Especial attention was attracted to several organizations in line. The Red Cross led by the president, Mrs. Rebecca S. Taylor, made a very creditable showing. The organization had about a hundred members in line, followed by scores of members of the junior organizations, knitting and surgical dressings classes. The Savannah Home Association took the honors of the day. With two hundred men in line, led by President Ed. H. Burke, and dressed in palm beach suits, straw hats and white shoes and every one carrying marching canes with a white triangular flag with the scarlet letters "S. H. A." this organization was accorded very generous applause throughout the entire line of march. The 200 men were divided into two companies, under command of Joseph J. Brown as captain with the president and executive board marching in front. The men had been drilled by Capt. Brown and their marching was perfect. They carried some sort of reed instrument which they used to good effect when the hand was not playing. The International Longshoremen, under J. B. Preston, president, and the Seaside Wokring Mens association der Major Jackson, president, made a very imposing sight. Composed of big, able hooded, powerful men, these organizations were excellent representatives of Uncle Sam's workers along the sea coast. We'don Lodge of Elks, with Exalted Ruler H. Henry Spencer, leading, and the Barriers Union under President P. Edward Perry as president, received much applause. The former were dressed in silk hats, Prince Alberts, black trousers and shoes while the latter were white duck suits, white shoes and straw hats. The Imperial women scouts, dressed in khaki, service hats and leggings and carrying wooden guns, received very generous applause. They were under Capt. Joseph Rivers. The Letter Carriers also received a big hand all along the line of march.
The parade presented several children whose costumes called forth much applause. They all marched together and made a most beautiful spectacle. Uncle Sam was represented by little Willie Thomas, Miss Columbia by Ursa line Belcher. Toussaint L'Overture by Howard Reid, James Lemon, Jr. was a sailor boy and Allen Toppin, Joseph King, Jr.; William Jamerson, Harold Davis, Paul Perry and Richard DesVerney, sailor boys, all of the latter carrying a large American flag.
Many beautiful and significant banners were carried by the various organizations. That of the Eureka' Aid and Athletic Club was magnificent. There were several club service flags and one by the West Broad Street school stating that 95 parents of child- (Continued on Page 4, Column 4)

Several of the other larger cities of the state will send up delegations, the largest probably going from Brunswick and Waversc
GROWING INTEREST IN NEGRO EDUCATION
Atlanta, Ga.—Judging from the earnestness of the addresses before the Georgia Association for the Advancement of Education Among Negroes held here last week, decided interest is being awakened among our people along educational lines. It was made very evident through the meeting that the object of the organization is not simply that of coming together once a year for the purpose of listening to addresses on various phrases of educational work but rather of marshaling all of the forces among our own people and others interested in our cause with the hope and determination of providing better school facilities for Negro youth in Georgia. Information brought out by some of the speakers showed unmistakably the growing need for united action if some of the conditions now existing are to be remedied. However, the situation is not altogether hopeless as there were reports from some places which showed marked interest on the part of not only the public school authorities but of private citizens white and colored alike.
In his address on the Importance of Organization in Advancing our Educational Interests, Editor B, J. Davis, laid stress on the importance of having all classes interested in this work and show clearly the necessity of having a fund with which to prosecute it. As an evidence of his genuine interest in them he offers to give $100.00 provided 100 other individuals will give $10.00 each. It will be encouraging to the friends of this movement to know that a fine start has been made to secure the $10.00 subscriptions needed to complete this fund of $1100.00.
Organization will within a short time make public its plan for using this fund. Here seems to be a real opportunity for getting some constructive work done along the line of improving public school facilities for Negroes in Georgia and it is carnethoped that the response to the appeal soon to be sent out will be generous and prompt.
Prof. William A. James of Statesboro chairman of the Bulloch County War Savings, Stamp Committee, and Dr. H. Van Buren were in the city Wednesday and took part in the patriotic parade.

APRIL ADANCES IDEAS
FOR SUMMER FROCKS
Matrials Of To Day
...New York, May 6, 1918—April's Lady has much for which to be thankful for this year. There are costumes to suit her every mood (and she has many of them!). On days when the winds remind her of March and the bitter Winter just past, she wraps herself in her voluminous cape, pulls her close-fitting little turban still closer over her sunny locks, and smiles with keen enjoyment: Then when the sun shines brilliantly, and the soft breezes fan her cheeks, she dreams of Summer, and dons her sports suit of glowing emerald-green and, swagger stick in hand, sets out for the cross-country tramp. If she does war work, as of course she does, she wears her simple

frock of serge and satin, short and narrow of skirt and straight of line. Then for the evening, at her home or with her friends, she chooses, perhaps, sleeves, and draped, tunic skirt. Her hats and gloves, her veils and scarfs, those important odds and ends, and the simplicity of the mode, and Fashion's tribute to Patriotism.
Modernizing Materials
We are finding this year, in the interesting fabrics spread forth for our inspection, many an old friend with a new name. There is that favorite of
J. MCCALL
heavy ribbed silk, so appropriate for the dresses of to-day that hang in such long straight folds. There have been hints for some time of the vogue of calico for prim little frocks, becoming and—shades of our school aprons—smart! Of course, gingham is not new to us this season, but gingham silk is, and gingham tissue and gingham volle. Such a hold have these old-fashioned patterns taken on us. Organdle tempts us with new ways, cross-barred effects of the self-tone or a stripe and checks vie with the one-color organdies. This crisp material is absolutely bewitching for the Summer Girl. Collars and cuffs, parasols, sashes and hats are all made from this defectable goods. Bordered material
The World City
food
Cultivation Soil
holds a high place in favors this year. Embroidery flouncing makes entire costumes, or combined with batiste or organdie, the embroidery is used for the quaint little sleeveless Eton coat and for the skirt, while the plain material makes the flowing sleeves and the loose waist.
Concerning Overblouse
There is one thing absolutely essential in everyone's wardrobe this year and that is a sleeveless overblouse. It may take the place of the gay woolen sweater or not, but it must be among those present, if one wishes to feel well dress! Some say it is a rival of the ever-illustrated here shows the big convenient pockets and loose girdle. It slips on over the head, and is worn here, with a gay flowered suspender skirt (another fashion leader) and a white blouse. The skirt is short, as all good skirts should be, and rather narrow. The widebrimmed sun-hat has applique motifs in bright colors.
And Around Her Waist
There are any number of fascinating ways to solve the belt problem. Of course the first one that one thinks of is the wide crush ribbon put once or twice around the waist, with a flat boy, long ends, be-fringed or beaded, or the perky bustle how at the back or the side. A girdle of this type is warranted to transform last year's dress into this year's dress, if one follows the straight rule of fashion.
Girdles of beads are very popular, especially on the dress that is long waisted. Wide youkes on the skirts seem to demand the narrow belt of ribbon or kid. Sport hats and costumes must need be accompanied by wide leather belts with interesting buckles. On organdie frocks and dainty volles, the satin belt is a favorite, sometimes contenting itself with a small rosebud or two without the traditional bow. Sometimes the sash is very, very long, reaching the hem.
Miss Simpliety
Bordered tissue was chosen for this flounces, the sleeves and th attractive little vest be-speak youth in every line. The collar and vest are picot-edge, giving a simple finish to their daintiness.

Mr. Allen Frazier presented the testaments at the train as the boys were leaving and they seemed to appreciate them very much. A grand repast was given for the boys, worked up by the young men and ladies of the city. Mr. A. C. Frazier gave an address to the boys also Mr. Adolphus Lee which was enjoyed very much.

THIS IS A MEATLESS DAY
Because of His Excellent Wor Along Literary Lines
The fourth Spingarn Medal was made Friday evening, May 3, at the First Baptist Church, Providence, R. L, to William Stanley Braithwaite of Cambridge, Mass., the distinguished poet and literary critic, whose work as literary critic to the Boston Evening Transcript and contributor of critical essays to the Forum, the Century, Scribner's, the Atlantic Monthly and other leading magazines has made his name well known to the literary public.
Mr. Braithwaite is a poet as well as a critic. In 1904 he published "Lyrics of Life and Love", a small volume of poems, and in 1903, "The House of Falling Leaves." Since 1913 he has edited the "Anthology of Magazine Verse", published by Small, Maynard & Company of Boston. In 1916 Mr. Braithwaite became editor of the "Poetry Review" of Cambridge. He has also edited "The Book of Elizabethan Verse," "The Book of Georgian Verse," and "The Book of Restoration Verse," and is the general editor of "The Contemporary American Poets Series" which is shortly to be issued in twelve volumes.
Mr. Braithwaite's most recent publication is a volume entitled "The Poetic Year," in which are gathered together a series of articles which were contributed by him to the Boston Transcript during the years 1916 and 1917. It is needless to remark that Mr. Braithwaite's reputation extends beyond that of a "Negro" critic. His achievements have placed him in the forefront of America's literary critics irrespective of race. The National Association for the Ad-
advancement of Colored People is authorized to make public the following telegram addressed to Governor Tom C.Rye of Tennessee by Bolton Smith of Memphis, Tenn., Secretary of the Law and order League which was organized two months ago, following the Estill Springs burning, to put a stop to lynching:
San Antonio , Texas;
April 23, 1918.
Hon. Tom C. Rye, Governor,
Nashville, Tennessee.
The lynching of Berry Noyes at Lexington, Tennessee, April 22, cannot but sow disunion among our people, undermine the morale of our Negro troops, and lesson the effectiveness of our propaganda among colored people for food production and conservation. It will therefore tend to prolong the war and increase the price in dead and wounded we have to pay for victory. I have been visiting the Texes Camps and witnessed the self-sacrificing work of our splendid young men who are preparing to risk all for us. It is strange our own people will not help them by exercising the self control necessary to give a Negro charge with crime such a trial as our own laws provide. The government of the United States is controlled by Southern men. It has called the Negro to the defense of the colors and the American people will demand that a race thus honored shall be granted the justice of a fair trial when accused of crime. We all know that when guilty there is no doubt of full punishment. The Lexington lynchers cannot have realized the extent to which their act furnishes aid and comfort to the enemy. As Secretary of the Tennessee Law and Order League, organized to stop lynching, I urge you to issue a proclamation to our people pointing out the reasonable effect of such act that you call upon the Presi-
dent of the United States as commander of the nation to reinforce your words, for it is plain we are threatened with a nation-wide increase of this crime.

The services for the Sunday after ascension (anciently called by the significant name, Expectation Sunday) will be as follows: Corporate communion for the Men's Guild 6:30 a. m.; High celebration and sermon 11:15 a. m., Sunday school 3:30 p. m.; evening prayer and address 8:30 p. m.

SATURDAY MAY 11, 1918
JHE PERFEOT DAY
Wednesday, May 8th, 1918, will for
years be remembered in the annals of
the city of Savannah for the exceed-
ingly brilliant, achlevement of Chat-
bam county colored folk, in the great
War Savings and 'farift Stamps pa-
rade. .
Passing brilliant asd beantiful was
ike splendin spectacie of beautiful col-
or, and bustling jubilant, quickened
Hving souls!
And the emphatic evidence of order-
Uness of arrangement, the disnity and
comeliness of the scores of represente-
tive divisions, the evidences of train-
ing betrayed by the children, the
churchmen, business and professional
wmen—joined in one vast concourse of
carefully co-ordinated elements and
groups—twenty thousand (20,000) of
them, the experts say, based upon a
eampilation of figures furnished by the
heads of the participating organtza-
tors—and all with a common mind
apd purpose! .
It was the greatest day Savannah
evor see. It was the most colossil
Patriotic fervor, of unbounded leyalty
gankation we have ever witnesal. It
was the most interesting display of
patriotic fervor of unbounded leyalty
‘to the Stars and Stripes ama race self-
assestion which could be aroused unt
der similar conditions of mem ama, xao-
uve e
It was the heart-beat of the Nezro
race-acceleigicd by the stress af
Aorrthie and rothless warfare. with its
dying men, ils cries: of starving child-
ten, its piteous pleas of assailed o-
men. It was the eloquent ang visuali-
vet answer to the call of a nation upon
its humble citizens. It was the sign
of the rousing of a race from its sleep
‘of indifference and wasted opportunity
—it.was the picture of that race zird-
Ang itself for the problematic future,
They came on—they passed— and
‘atill they came on and passed—throuzh
‘the streets of a great city, amid its
‘traditiona and rezimes, mindful of its.
‘pewers; its shibboleths. its principles.
and ita possibilities—and yet. they:
came and came on and on—now in the
sizzling, southern sun, and then in the
shade of beautifal trees, ‘The ma-
Jesty oft that thought-provoking spec
tacle will not soon pass from the
mouths and memories of those other
thousands who had- looked on—some
in awe, a few with a half-sneer, some
§n childish wonderment dud bewilder-
ment and,many more than these (thank
God!) in sincere appreciation and Jos-
ous congratulation...
Every clement of the good people of
this best city of the South contributed
to the abounding and unprecedented
victory of the remarkable event—the
white as well as the black—as, also,
each should, not in this alone but in
every great movement for the good of
the people, whether that movement ort-
ginates with the one or the other,
Both are fellow-toilers toward the
same goals of civilization, both amen-
able to the same physical and spiritual
experiences, both subject to a - com-
mon Divinity and both fellow-travel-
grs toward the same grave.
. The*beneficent results of this splend-
id accomplishment’ of the community
(for {t was no one man’s achievement,
no single group's success) shall not
soon pass away, nor will they soon be
forzotten. The Inevitable results from
within the race and outside it are
as certain as that the night shall fol-
low the ‘day, and will begin to accrue
at once, é
We are passing out of the shadow
of prejudices and oppressions; we are
throwing off the yokes of superstition,
of internal weaknesses; we are enter-
ing upon the bright new day of op-
portunity and creative and constructive
Progress.
‘We shall expect from our government
and from our governing classes what
we as a racé deserve as a result of
our contribution to the common cause
of national self-defense and salvation.
We believe it will not be necessary to
wrest this just ‘recompense by unde-
sirable and unpleasant means, We be-
Heve that the minds and consciences
are growing- and expanding with the
bigger, newer thought and theory of
the times and we feel that we are
wending our way toward the brilliant
noonday of fellowship, brotherly in-
terest and the*establishment of the
principle of the golden xule on earth.
‘The fading rays of Wednesday's sun
shone upon the hearts of twenty thous.
and of liberal and loyal Americans—
men, women and children, whose in-
terests in the Stars and Stripes no un
friendly suggestion can lessen, whose
loyalty to America no alien appeal of
purse or trick will canse to falter,
and whose courage and willingness to
die are only measured by their life's
blood, .
And “still they came on” in seom'ng-
ly endless procession to pledge their
loyalty, their labor, their- men and
their mones—20.000 strong—to Ameri-
ca and Democracy.
It was “the end of a perfect day.”
THE DESERTER
If there be any min who questions
the unity, the ‘co-operation the soli-
darity or the loyalty of Negro people.
last Wednesday's magnificant spectacle
proved an appropriate and ample ans-
wer to his misgivings,
Every Nezro mah, woman and chiid
in Chathani county who was not in
line, in some group, thus putting the
world on notice of his loyalty to his
organization, to his race and to his
country, must have had a very com-
fortless expérience and must have
spent a restless night.
If their were obstructionists, their
efforts were .not felt; if there were
slackers they Were not missed; if there
were spies, they were overwhelmed by
the grandeur and magnificent of what
they saw; if there were deserters,

twenty-thousand 9 loyal citizens are
cHargea with the-desire and the duty
of discovering and remembering them.
There could be no basis of obstruct-
Ing, of slacking, of deserting. The
promoters of the great parade had one
mind and one motive, only, and that
was the magnifying of the grave in-
terests of a race and a nation, They
realized that the Negro race, like the
gieat American nation, 1s in travail
and.tribulation. ‘There was no time for
“exteiiding votes of thanks,” pronounc-
ing-evlogies on individuals, giving cha-
tauqua salutes abd other tom-foolry.
A.man does not need much sense to
see thé wisdom of much of the foollsh-
ness with which we have fritted away
our time in the past. This hero-wor
ship is.done’away, and {f there be left
any whose business it is to seek it by

great masses of our people have gotten
Beyond that stage, “he should be re-
membered” according to the matchtess
orator of parade day. a
What interest cah there be apart
from patriotism and above it? What
studied deviltry, engendered by blind
self-absorption, unwarranted and? un-
deserved and selfish desire for fan-
fare and claptrap and spread-eagle
show, could shrivel the body and soul
of man’ that he should dishonor bis
race, forsake it at a critical hour, and
desert his country In its peril? .
* Those who did not partlelpate in
the great War Savings Campaign pa-
rade of las} Wednesday .are seeking
the undimmed infamy of traitors and
sples. They will be remembered.
When the Integrity and existence of
this United States are at stake, seri-
ously at stake, it takes the meanest
little human shrimp to interpose his
little personality in the way of the fn’
terests of victory over the nation’s foes.
There is no penalty to fit his crime.
No value of his, not even extermination
of the personality of itself, can atone
for his crime. :
It is a wonder Creation contemplated
these” misanthropes, provided for these
monstrosites in the scheme and scale
of things. As we7do not see the pur-
pose of some things-in the content of
creation, we likewise also do not sce
the Divine purpose in these, animal
culae, except it be to tempt the souls
and try the honor of men,”
God spare us even the thought of
human depths so low as to pass the
span. of honor, beneath the measure
of patriotism ang love and loyalty to
race and nation!
God spate the Negro people. while
now on the highway of real pro-
gress and qdvancement, such guides
as this, who see themselves mirrored
every where and who cannot support
and defend the gtod thought and plan
of other men! * 2
‘Men of this stripe are passing rap-
Idty, Soon, fortunately, we shall see
no more of them and then we‘sball go
forward hy leaps and bounds. The
honor and respect of the people hase
too long been bartered away by these
strange creatures of other days, Bren,
the people of other races are beginning
to see through the deceir and camou-
flaze and self-secking of these men
who have called themselves “big” men;
these men who according to thém-
selves are always being sought out by
the really, great men, and who “give
it out” to the newspapers.
The parade was a silencer for dis-
loyalists to race and nation. It put
a very discomforting thought into the
heads of those who undertook ta de-
tract and into the minds, if any they
had, of those who are controlled by
those who have the “yaller” streak,
‘The parade was so big anil so good
that it became a fixed event and a
milestone in the annals of our great
city. :
ee ae
Eighty thousand Savannahians have
Pronounced it, the greatest parade in
our history, ahd itd details not to be
‘Smproved upon.
Every citizen of this elty, from the
Mayor down has handed the palm to
the Negroes of Savannah for having
staged the most uniform, the most or-
derly, the best arranged and the larg-
est exhibition of its kind of all time.
‘This magnifies the crime and min}-
mizes the character of the ‘deserter.”
There would be no notice taken of
any. individual who defected, except
for the awful influence of such auto-
nomists and despots on their pitiful
subjects.
Fot instance, every teacher and
every pupil of the Ga. State College
had a sincere longing to be in the pa-
rade to attest his loyalty ‘to his race
and his fealty to the great covernment
of the United States. ‘They were only
missed by thelr friends and those who
sympathized with their unfortunate
Jot, in the vast throng of surging hu-
manity which filled the streets and
squares with one grand riot of beauti-
ful colors and joyous, happy patriots.
_ It is a pity that so many good meri
nq women and so many children of
possibility are the slaves‘ of such ar-
bitrary despotism.-such unwarranted

NEGROES SHOW THEIR PATRIOTISM BY DEEDS
HAMPTON, VA., MAY—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, referring in an address at Hampton Institute to President Wilson and the present crisis, recently said: "This is the time when every woman in America—every patriotic American citizen—every decent American—should put behind our wise. courageous President every ounce of effort he or she has physical and moral—so that our President may be able to stand back of and help those men in the trenches of France to face the most formidable foe that ever drew sword against democracy and civilization.
"This is the time, when every one of us must stand firmly and squarely back of the forces that are working to save America, to save England and France, to save Belgium, to save the world.
"I love my race more because not a single Negro, so far as I have been able to discover, has been arrested as a spy—not one. Absolutely, the Negroes have stood loyal to their country and to their flag. They are going to continue to do it.
"Young people of Hampton, wherever you are, —whether you are in the draft or whether you are out;—give your country all your support and backing. Buy Thrith Stamps. Buy Liberty Bonds, if you can. Have a real share in your Government, so that those boys
