The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIV Atlanta University Opens Next Week Atlanta University Opens Next Week BOARDING PUPILS TO BE EXAMINED SHOULD REPORT TUESDAY --- Regular School Exercises Will Begin Wednesday Morning Atlanta, Oct. 24th—The health situation in Atlanta justifies the opening of Atlanta University next week. This institution together with all other schools in the city, both private and public, have remained closed because of the epidemic of Spanish influenza which has been prevalent throughout the state. The boarding students of Atlanta University should be present on Tuesday morning, October 29th. Regular school exercises will begin Wednesday morning. If the public schools are open on Monday, October 25th, work for the day students begins on that day. Mon day will be the day for examinations, and Monday and Tuesday all students should settle matters of classification and registration and get their programs. If the public schools are not open next week the work with day pupils will be postponed. Patrons will observe that this departs from the usual custom at Atlanta University. It is expected that all preliminary work will be settled before Wednesday morning when the regular school program goes into effect. Plans were made to open the mess hall at the soldiers' barracks, situated on the campus of the school, with dinner on Thursday of this week. There were about 190 members of the Student Army Training Corps at the first meal in the new barracks. Next week as soon as the stoves have been installed the dormitory barracks will also be in use, relieving the University buildings for the use of the pupils. PHOTOGRAPHER JOHNSTON THE CITY Photographer J. W. Johnston, of Columbia, S. G., was in the city this week for a few days. As usual, he was the same jolly fellow and had the glad hand for every one he met. Before leaving this city, about a year ago, for Columbia, Mr. Johnston conducted personally the West Broad Street Photo Gallery, near Huntingdon street, which business he still maintains with Miss Frances Segee in charge. Mr. Johnston's Columbia studio is doing excellent business and he has been forced recently to get additional help in this thriving and uptodate picture gallery. Several weeks ago, he opened a first class lodging house which he conducts in connection with his photographic business. It is about two blocks from the Columbia Union depot and is much appreciated by the many relatives of the soldier boys, who visit their boys at Oamn Jackson. Blackshear Dots On Monday night, October 6th, the young ladies of Blackshear entertained the selectmen at the residence of Mrs. Mc.D. Spencer. Those present were Misses Willie, Bertha and Jessie Bacon, Samerta and Mae Clemons, Lillie and Susie White, Fostina Sibley, Earnestine Sampson, Lillian Matthews, of Waycross; and Messers, J. P. M. Lee, John King, John Marshall, James Gilford, Gus Fulton, Samuel Thomas and Lonnie Thompson. On account of the ban which is now being enforced as to indoor church services, the B. X. P. U. will not celebrate annually this year. The sum raised by this organization during the last twelve months is $102.47. Private James W. Fisher and Corporal Jesse Fulton of Camp Gordon spent several days here last week. Mrs. Naomi Sampson of Savannah spent several days here the guest of Mrs. Fannie Gray. Mrs. Adeline Williams who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Robinson, left Wednesday for her home in the south. BIRTH Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Hostick of Garrett, S. C., announce the birth of a son. He was born Tuesday afternoon at 6 o'clock on October 15th. He will be called Luther Earl, Jr. MARRIED Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Campfield, of Augusta, Ga., wish to announce the marriage of their daughter, Fannie Ruth Campfield, to Mr. Wheeler Murray, on September 20th, at 514 - Hartridge street, this city. They are residing at 521 East Hall street. The News From Waycross, Georgia (By H. H. Thweatt) Mr. Walter Brown, the tailor, lost his little two year old baby, its death resulting from a fall sustained not long ago. Mrs. Armenta Maze fell a victim of influenza. Her remains were carried to Valdosta for interment which took place last Saturday. Mrs. Susie Harris by heroic treatment has overcome an attack of influenza and is out again The members of Mt. Zion A. M. E. church gave their pastor, Rev. J. F. Duhart, a surprise party Monday night. The pastor expressed himself as being completely surprised, but assured the party of his high appreciation of their thinking about him at this time while the church is inactive on account of the influenza. It is altogether another thing when the blood thirsty cracker attempts to vent his spleen upon a reputable hard working colored citizen. This was shown in the case of Mr. Payton Hughes, chief mechanic at Hebeard Company and R. R. Works when he was attacked by a blood thirsty mob that wanted to beat and kick him around, as they had been doing less well known Negroes all the morning. A young white girl had gotten off the train near the Hebeard mills and claimed that a Negro had attacked her. So this irresponsible mob was stalking through that community promiscuously beating and intimidating every Negro it met. Mr. Hughes however, had heard about their ravings and, as it was shown by what happened later, had very timely armed himself. A member of the crowd stopped his wheel and cursed him. Mr. Hughes already worked up, promptly resented the vile epithets so unveremoniously cast upon him. The white man, not looking for this unusual thrust of resentment, whirled around and went to the automobile where a young arsenal was stored to get his rifle. Just as he was about to hand out this weapon, Mr. Hughes promptly objected in tones that had a ring of business. The white man looked around and found himself completely covered with a forty-four His comrades came up and found themselves equally as potent, as Mr. Hughes was carefully guarding the arsenal and their base of supplies. Finally, men of authority came upon the scene and eased the situation by assuring Mr. Hughes that he would be protected. These men were Mr. Hughes' employers. They dispersed the mobbcrats and warned them off the premises. Mr. Hughes is still on his job with the promise of absolute protection, and the members of the mob have been indicted. So it seems that the Southern man after all is going to assist President Wilson to crush out mob spirit. What these white men did to protect this Negro, other white men in other communities are going to do. URBAN LEAGUE ANNUAL MEETING IS POSTPONED The annual meeting of the Urban League should be held Monday night, next, but on account of the ban on all indoor meetings, it is postponed to a date which will be announced later. In the meantime, all of the members are urgent to send their dues to the secretary, Mr. S. A. Grant, at the Mechanics Bank, or the assistant secretary, J. H. Butler, at the Tribune office. Each member of the executive committee will be given a list of delinquents from whom to collect. Funds are badly needed in order to continue the activities of the league. G II BOWEN OFF ON VACATION Mr. G. H. Bowen, real estate dealer and wide awake business man, is taking a much needed rest. He lett last week for Hot Springs, Ark., and will be gone for about four weeks. While away he will visit other cities in the middle west. BARNES-COLLINS Miss Annie Collins and Mr. E. B. Barnes were quietly married October 16 at 611 West Bolton street. Mr. and Mrs. Barnes are now residing at 917 West 40th street. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. V. Branch. A DACHTER A daughter was born last week to Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Kennedy at Whiteville, N. C. Mr. Kennedy who is now in the army, stationed at a ramp in Maryland, was formerly district manager for the North Carolina Insurance in this city. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY OCT. 26, 1918 Chairman Negro War. Work Committee REV. W. G. ALEXANDER Colored People Asked to Push War Work--- Called on to Push Campaign Under Their Own Leaders Negro Troops Brave 129 Days in Trenches--- Colonel Heyward Tells of His Black Troops' Valor The colored people of Savannah, by direction of the President of the United States acting under the secretaries of war and navy, requested the National United War Work Council to put their work in one drive for $170,500,00. The colored people of Savannah have organized the city into twenty-six zones to raise their quota of the $200,000 for Georgia. The Savannah colored campaign committee is asking every colored man and woman in the city to give not less than one dollar each by November 18th, when the canvass closes. Every colored child in the city should also subscribe as much as possible. Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and Columbus are afflame with activity to put it over Savannah. The colored War Work Council of Colonel William Hayward, at the head of a regiment of colored troops, picked from the Harlem district in New York, has been in the thick of the fighting in France, has been commended by General Chabord, his commander, for the work he and his men performed and is now in a rest camp after hard fighting for a sustained period of 120 days. Writing to William H. Pitzer, his former law partner at Nebraska City, he says: "Well, we are at rest. A few days ago, a tired, ragged, lousy, battle scoured regiment trudged out of a sector after being under fire every day for 129 days, after being through the greatest battle in the world's history and after holding what was at one time (14 month's after the United States declared war on Germany), one fifth of all the ground the whole American army was holding when that army had about ten times as many commissioned officers in France as we had enlisted men. "The French generals, from General Gournaud down, say that we did our work as well as the veteran French infantry regiments on either side of us. We captured prisoners, including t Germini officers and lost none of them. We killed many of them in their trenches and inside our own lines. We were never driven from our front trenches, although assaulted repeatedly. 'No Man's Land' soon became the 15th B. 1. land after we held, the last one being the most active and dangerous sector from Switzerland to the channel, so the French tell us. "On total killed and captured we are away ahead of the boche—maybe 100. And we did what we were given to do with a minimum of losses." one hundred represents every activity in Savannah and appeals to the entire population to put their name and subscription on record. Our colored soldiers are "Over There" and Savannah must stand by them with her money. A meeting of the general committee will be held at the colored Red Cross headquarters. Masonie Temple, Tuesday, October 29th, at 4 p. m. The depositories for the fund are the Wage Earners Bank, the Savannah Savings Bank and the Mechanics Bank. At the head of the committee of one hundred, which is in charge of the local campaign, is Dr. W. G. Alexander, chairman. Mrs. Rebecca S. Taylor, as secretary, Rev. E. W. White as secretary of the committee and Mr. W. S. Scott as treasurer. "General Gouraud has inscribed to me a copy of his now famous address to his soldiers before the great battle in which he expresses his great esteem "Au Colonel Hayward et son brave regiment." "So as we tramped away to the south in the sunshine and dust of the late days of August and the sound of the damned guns grew fainter and fainter, and we took off our steel helmets and put away our gas masks, temporarily, you can imagine how the spirits of the men grew high, and how they sang marching songs fustily and what our thoughts were. "And when one remembers the beginnings of this little old handpicked home-made regiment of Harlem colored boys and that we were never inspected, never trained, never coached by an officer outside the regiment, that we were never in an American brigade or division, even ever so short as all the other American regiments had, but instead were the cheerful and efficient chore boy of the war department until coming to France—well it's done and that's the answer, and now we're looking toward bigger and better things, after a few weeks' rest and training, in open warfare. Pray God we may never again have to go back to permanent trenches in a stabilized position. "Many acts of individual bravery stand out consciously, even in this gallant army of French and veterans. At least thirty Croix-de-Guerres have been awarded officers and men (subject to approval of A. E. F., Hq.) On the other hand we had, as 1 presume, every regiment must have, some men whose conduct in line and out was not at all creditable. But they News Of The Nation's Capitol Washington, D.C., Oct. 24th--Among the victims of the prevalent influenza was Dr. Solon Menoh, the Haitian minister, a popular figure in the diplomatic circles of te capitol. At a special meeting of the governing board of the Pan-American Union, Hon. Robert Lansing, secretary of state, delivered an address in which he eulogized the life, character and public services of the deceased minister. Dr. James S Russell, president of the St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, Va. was in the city a few days ago on business connected with his school. He was accompanied by Mr. A. H. Turner, business manager of the school, and Mr. William Whitehead, a member of the board of trustees. Rev. N. W. Clair, Jr., and Rev. R. A. Green, the latter pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. church, have been appointed chaplains in the United States army with the rank of first lieutenant. There are now fifty colored chaplains in the military establishment of the nation in this country and overseas. Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, of the Howard University Conservatory of Music, and Miss A. Lillian Evans, daughter of the late Dr. W. Bruce Evans, were married recently. They are making their home at 1910, Vermont avenue, north-west. Dr. Julia P. Coleman, president of Hair Vim Chemical Company, has won another suit against the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway Company, for alleged "jim-crowing." The damages were normal, but the big principle involved of breaking down an abominable system, has received a big boost by the pluck, push and persistence of this spirited woman of the race. "Jim-crow" cars for interstate passengers, at least, are unconstitutional and should be abolished. The way to do away with ten is for every colored man and woman to have the courage of Dr. Coleman and carry to the courts every instance of unlawful discrimination, until the highest tribunal of the land wipes from the statutes every vestige of this unholy and un-American piece of legislation. General Roy C. Hoffman, who went to France as the commander of the 83rd division, made up of colored soldiers, is back in this country. He lauds the colored men of his command in the highest terms and says the world has never seen better fighting men. He likes pride in describing the encounter of Needham Roberts and Harry Johnson with the Bohes and how these brave colored lads put the Huns to inglorious flight and won the French Croix de Guerre. General Hoffman said that any officer should feel proud to command the type of men who make up the 83rd division, and he is anxious to have more of the same kind. Mr. Henry Braxton, of the office of the comptroller of currency, has been promoted to a $1,400 clerkship. Mr. Capers Rogers, of the architect's office, was recently promoted to a clerkship in that department, paying $1,120 per annum. Mrs. Madeline Childs, of this city, has been appointed to the position of file clerk in the office of Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war. Messrs. Walter Scott Turner, Robert A. Sewell and John L. Randall, limited service soldiers, relieved from overseas duty, have been detailed in the State, War and Navy building for the duration of the war. Prof. Charles N. Thomas, of the Dum bar High School, has joined hands with Mr. Finley Wilson in the publication of the Washington Eagle, which has grown to splendid proportions in the years it has lived in the nation's capitol. Rev. Alexander Willbanks, under charges reflecting upon his character as a minister of the gospel, has been exonerated by his congregation by a large majority. He is pastor of the 10th Street Baptist church. Mme. C. J. Walker, the well known hair culturist, will erect a large office building here for the accommodation of her agents and for the use of professional and business people generally, at the close of the war. PERSSE MERCADO Miss Gertrude Harvey Persse of this city and Mr. Lorenzo Mercado of Clbo, Philippine Islands, were married Wednesday night, October 16 by the Rev. S. T. Redd at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Janie Cuthbert Davis, 544 East Ogilthorpe avenue. Swangin School Buys Large Tract WILL BUILD SCHOOL PLANT 4 MILES ON AUGUSTA ROAD Big Community Meeting to be Held on the Grounds Thanksgiving Day The trustees of Swangin Normal and Industrial Institute have recently purchased a ten-acre tract of land on the Augusta road, four miles from the city, with a frontage of several hundred feet on the road. The property is excellently located, being the highest point on the road in that section. It is of easy access from the city, the Augusta road being well paved, and the trolley line passes it about a city block away. It is the purpose of the trustees of the institute, as soon as sufficient funds are on hand, after paying for the tract, to erect suitable buildings on the site for the activities of the school. The trustees and friends of the school are busily engaged raising sufficient money in order to finish paying for the tract of land, and in this they are meeting with much encouragement. An organized effort will be made to reach all who are inclined to assist in the effort. Plans are being perfected for a big community meeting on the grounds on the afternoon of Thanksgiving day. An arbor will be erected to accommodate the attendants. Several persons will be invited to make short addresses, and there will be music interspersed between these. An invitation is extended to the friends of the school in the city to attend the exercises. The site is about twelve minutes run by auto from the city, or the Port Wentworth trolley line may be taken, which stops one block from the grounds. The school is now being conducted on West Duffy street, with Mrs. Emma Swangin, its founder, as principal. She is also the treasurer of the institution. TRADES BUILDING DESTROYED BY FIRE Tuskegee Institute Sustains Largest Fire in History of the School Tuskegee, Ala., Oct. 19th—The Arm strong-Nater Memorial Trades Building of Tuskegee Institute was destroyed by fire on Monday night, October 14th. The fire was the largest in the history of the institute, and represented a loss of $100,000. The building was constructed of brick made in the institute's brick yard and was completed in 1838. In its greatest dimensions, it was 283 by 315 feet and was arranged about the four sides of a central court, with cross wings at each corner. The front and side wings were two stories high. Shops for teaching the following trades were located in this building: Carpentry, wool turning, printing, tailoring, black-smithing, harness making, carriage trimming, wheelwrighting, tining, plumbing, electrical engineering, painting, shoe making, machine shop practice and architectural and mechanical drawing. The work of reorganizing the trade instruction at the institute is going forward, and the regular classes resumed their work Wednesday morning in the temporary quarters, which have been arranged so that there may be no interference with the teaching of the students and soldiers enlisted for special training.

O. 776 Sept. 16, 1018 "My dear Father: "Just a line or so to say to you I am well and hearty and getting along fine I hope this will find you and all of the folks in the very best of health. "Well, Dad, I suppose you have wondered and wondered and rewondered again as to what has become of me. I know you received the card I sent you telling of my safe arrival over here. My experiences since coming here have been many and varied. I would like to tell you all of them, also where I have been and where I am now, but according to the censorship, this is forbidden. * I shall attempt to tell you of the ups and downs of army life in a foreign land under these conditions "First of all, this life is a peach. Everybody is enjoying it, and aside from getting mixed up on the French language and counting the French money we are all doing fine. The people of France were most enthusiastic in their welcome to us. As we passed along the streets on our way to oru billets there were shouts of "vive L'Americk" and similar phrases which we learned later were remarks of welcome to us all. The people of the towns in which we lived were very much impressed and without one exception when the time came for us to move away they expressed the deepest regrets at our leaving. Why, at one place they even cried when we pulled out. These people are really fine. They seem to bend every effort toward making us feel that we are most welcome to their country, and nothing seems too good for them to do for us They have quite a different mode of living from us, naturally. For the most, part, they have farms, but instead of living on the farm they live in small villages which are surrounded by the farms. The houses are all of stone, and so built that in one part the people live and in the other part the cattle and what other animals they might have live. Every morning the milk maids or the milkman drives the cows to pasture or the shepperds drives his sheep and goats to the fields. It's a very familiar sight to see the prettiest kind of girls driving the cows thru the streets of the village. Offourse, in the larger cities one is reminded of the United States, for there we find all kinds of amusements or, perhaps, a bunch of American soldiers resting up from some big fight. "Speaking of fights, I have not had the pleasure of being in a great, big scrap, but I have had several minor' outs with the Boche. I will tell you of one of them. One evening they began to shell us at 8:30. We all took to our dugouts, for the shells were falling thick and fast and it was rather unhealthy to be uncovered. They shelled us until about 8:30, then they let down a barrage so their troops could advance. The barrage soon lifted, went behind us and a bunch of them started across "No Man's Land." The sentries called out "There they come, boys." The men came out of the dugouts and got into action, and to put it in the language of one of them, "Hell broke loose." We burned 'em up and they retired pretty soon. They came back again and again and we turned 'em back. Well, they finally decided to quit rushing us, but the artillery kept shelling until 8:30. Then everybody went to bed for the day. A few nights after that they again tried us out, but they found we were still on the job. Some life this is. To tell the truth, it's really fascinating to stand and have the Boche planes hover overhead while the anti-aircraft guns pop at 'em and run 'em in the clouds or back across their own lines; and again to sit in a dugout while the shell whistle over your head and burst on the other side. Gosh! it's great. I'll have quite a bit to tell when I reach home again. "How is everybody? Write me a line or so as soon as you can. I am having Lieut. Chas. G. Reed "My dear Father: THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCT 26, 1918 our official paper sent to you for six months.

O. 760, September 7, 1918 "Your kind letter of recent date was received today and I don't know when I enjoyed reading a letter more because I had, been eager to get some word from home for the past two weeks or more and when I got yours this afternoon it gave me a mighty cheer and put more of the fighting spirit in me for Uncle Sam. You don't know how we fellows long for a word or two from the home folks and when one of us gets a little note from you fellows it makes us dance a jig, it gives us 'the all-over happy feelings. I was delighted to get your photo, it enthused me and I showed it to all the boys in our billet. I am well and hope this little note will find you the same. Well, old boy, this is the life, always something doing of excitement to make a fellow feel in a fighting mood, constantly. Our boys are all well and every one of them is resolved to give a good account of himself in any emergency and make you guys not ashamed of us. In fact, we mean to fight like h—at all times and then to come home with as good a record as any other American reciment over here.

Every depositor in our Savings Department has for the security of his deposits our entire assets, including the liability of our stockholders for double the amount of their money. OVER 65,000 women are now actively enrolled as workers in the 700 American Red Cross canteens extending from the most northern point in Canada to the most southern in the United States and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Together with the canteen kitchens, medical supplies and small transfer hospitals, they comprise the equipment of the Canteen service, primarily organized to stimulate the morale of the soldiers and to let them know that the country is with them and appreciates the sacrifice they are making. It was also organized for the purpose of meeting emergencies which may arise with troops in transit—unavoidable delays, accidents, supplies exhausted, sudden illness or accidents to the men en route. The American Red Cross Canteen Service is one branch of the service which, owing to its nature, requires a certain amount of secrecy. The United States is a tremendous country, with miles of track, and its troops are spread over tremendous areas. Men are sent from their home towns to camps, troops are moved from one camp to another, and they are shipped from camps to embarkation points and sent overseas, but wherever they are they find the American Red Cross has already blazed the trail and is there "on the job." This service, like all efforts in behalf of the soldiers, sailors and marines on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, is rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction. Six hundred negro soldiers served recently by an American Red Cross canteen at a point in Arkansas. In a press report of the work it was stated: "It will be a long time before the activities of that great organization, the American Red Cross, will perform a better service, or one that gives the good women, both white and colored, more pleasure. They were enlisted colored men coming direct from their farms and homes in Louisiana, going to a strange city and surroundings. They were a 'timid set when they stepped off the train here like a drove of lost sheep, but there was a far different feeling when they left. The interest shown in them here made new and fighting men out of them. They will take their places in the trenches just like the white soldier, and every time one of them does it he takes the place of your boy or my boy. He's an American soldier, and all honor is due the splendid work of our Canteen women and their colored women helpers." Negro Auxillaries. Many cities of the South are organizing colored auxiliary canteen committees. The colored canteen in New Orleans is in charge of a very fine colored woman of education and a graduate nurse. The canteen has headquarters on the ground floor of the Pythian Temple, owned entirely by negro capital. It has five large rooms, well equipped for rest and recreation, and to date has entertained every batch of negro selects leaving for cantonments. It is maintained by New Orleans Chapter funds. At some points; notably in Texas, Canteen service is maintained to give refreshments to the aviators at their landing fields. In some of the large allroad yards model canteen buildings AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN WORKERS have been erected, and all troop trains are switched on either side of them that the men may be served quickly and efficiently. Upon the return recently of the national field secretary to the national headquarters of the American Red Cross after a three months' transcontinental tour of the canteen stations, she presented a list of delightfully varied cooling refreshments served the troops—lists registering ingenuity and thrift in utilizing local resources to make an appetizing and attractive menu for the boys. The prime requisite, of course, in the summer months was something cool, refreshing and perfectly harmless—inexpensive and easy to prepare and serve in large quantities on short notice. Soap and water and towels, while not on the menu exactly, were immensely appreciated, and flowers were a real refreshment. All were enthusiastically received by the men after a hot and dirty trip. Interesting "sidelights" on the Canteen activities the length and breadth of the country find their way into the national headquarters of the American Red Cross and give one a very human insight into the work. In one city where it was known, that nineteen nurses were to pass through on the train, en route overseas, twelve canteen workers in uniform boarded the train on its arrival and presented each nurse with a beautiful red rose. They were quite overcome and declared the courtesy was one of the nicest things that had ever happened to them. He Got Ninety! At another canteen station a lone negro was served. He had been in France, had been wounded and was sebt home on a furlough to get well. "Yessum," he said, "I was hit in the arm and the knee. And I got so mad when I was hit I grabbed my gun and I sure let her go. Yessum, Ise satisfied—got ninety of them Germans!" En route to Waynesville hospital, a sergeant with six invalid soldiers applied to the American Red Cross Canteen at a station for a more suitable lunch for the men than could be found in the regular lunch room. Service was given immediately and eggs, fruit, milk, etc., supplied to the men. This is but one of many instances that demonstrate the efficiency of the Canteen service in emergencies. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, OCT 26, 1918 er for years found he was to pass through his "home town" and wrote her to that effect, asking that she meet him at the train. The message did not reach her. Naturally, very much disappointed not to find her at the station, the boy's woe-begone expression attracted the attention of a canteen worker. When she heard his story she immediately started out in her car, found the mother, motored her to the station and had the pleasure of witnessing a very happy reunion of mother and son before duty called him overseas. Canteen workers often supply the messages for the "folks back home" that are written on the post cards distributed by the American Red Cross throughout its Canteen service. This is done in cases where the men are unable to write themselves. Recently a distribution of the cards was made to a number of colored troops, and many of the Canteen workers were called upon to do the writing. In commenting upon the incident one of the workers said: "The giving was not all on our part, for when they returned from their exercises through the city the colored men were formed in a hollow square by their Commandant and the 'talent' of the regiment ordered out. The singing was beautiful and the clog dancing entertaining." The colored men were so pleased with their treatment that several of them made speeches, and one spokesman stated that he was going to have the American Red Cross Canteen "writ up" when he got to where he was going. "It was the supper hour, but my committee was at the station at work on ham sandwiches and preparing coffee within twenty minutes after notification of the time of arrival of the troops," says a Canteen captain in a recent report. "When the train arrived my five ladies served nine fresh country ham sandwiches from large trays garnished with lettuce. I had to call in the husbands, as we had only twenty minutes to serve eleven coaches. After serving the sandwiches and coffee we made the second trip around, and each boy aboard received a Red Cross chocolate bar and cigarettes. Every single boy was courteous and orderly, and their appreciation was the sweetest thing I ever saw." "This is swell and helps a fellow lot," said a big olive-drabbed boy after partaking of canteen refreshments at HAMLET.N.C. MANY OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS CHAPTERS HAVE WELL-ORGANIZED NEGRO CANTEEN-AUXILIARIES. In the Cold Days of winter, why not Bask in the Warmth of a POLICY With the Fireside Mutual In. Co. Liberal Benefits for all ages a point in the west. "And if it weren't for one thing I and my chum could come nighy near being happy now." "Tell us about that one thing that makes you unhappy. Maybe we can fix it," smilingly encouraged a charming Canteen worker. "Well, we're broke, and no one can fix that but our dads, and they are 'way up in Washington. We haven't time to wire for extra money' and there you are," said the lad with a wistful smile. "That's easy," said the Canteen girl. "We'll send the wires for you and have the money sent to your next stop." "Hurrah for you!" cried the boys. And as they boarded the out-going train they wore quite a different looking expression from that which they registered just a few minutes before. From the foregoing, which is in reality but a "flash" of the great Canteen service in operation, one receives but the barest outline of the far-reaching effect of this branch of the American Red Cross activities in this country Workers Take Oath. The American Red Cross furnishes all commanders of troop trains, conductors and railway officials with a Canteen directory, embracing the names of the chapters which have organized Canteen units. Upon being given the briefest possible telegraphic notice these chapters are prepared to render assistance of all kinds to troops en route. Troop train commanders, having government funds for the purpose, pay the government rate for rations ordered. In cases of accident or sickness occurring en route medical assistance and ambulance service are arranged for if requested in advance. Some of the Canteens, designated as "transfer stations," have immediate ambulance service for transferring sick and wounded service men to hospitals, as well as specially prepared food for sick soldiers in transit. All official American Red Cross Ganteen Workers are carefully investigated and enrolled under oath of allegiance, and the woven shield of the Canteen worker, bearing tho- had Cross insignula, is worn conspicuously when on active duty. The officers of a Canteen unit includes a captain, first and second lieutenants, a supply clerk and a mall clerk. The size of the Canteen unit depends largely on the frequency of the troop movements through its location. It is estimated that a unit of fifteen women can serve five hundred men. At first both Army officers and railway men felt that the Canteen service was not a necessity, in that it duplicated the provisions of the Government and the railroads. But observers in both Army and railroad service have come to acknowledge that the Canteen is a unique addition to troop transportation. At a time when the whole machinery of travel is geared to an unheard-of speed, it is inevitable that accident and weather should result in unforeseeable delay and discomfort—the prolongation of journeys far beyond their expected time often depletes the troop stores, and the enormous travel on the railroads often limits the available railway supplies. The American Red Cross canteen service assists the officer conducting transportation by giving him an immediate depot of supplies and helps the railroad by feeding the troops in the railroad yard, thus preventing congestion at the station. In one city the president of the railroad ordered a freight car given the American Red Cross. It was equipped with light and gas and placed on a side-track near the railway station. The canteen unit is thus able to keep the coffee hot and have refreshments on hand for the incoming troop trains, and it also serves as a protection to the workers against cold while waiting for the trains. The equipment of an American Red Cross canteen is just exactly what a community decides to make it. Some canteens in the larger centers are highly developed, while others embrace the minimum equipment. All are doing a wonderful work in which it is a pleasure to have a share.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 26TH, 1918 EDITORIALS There is still much rumor of rank color discrimination at the Terry Ship yard. It is skimmed that during this week a number of riveters (white) left the place for the foundation Company; and that there were a number of colored "buckers" and some riveters fully competent to take the places of these men, but who were not offered the places because other white employees would object to Negro riveters. It is also claimed that most of the white riveters learned riveting while serving as "buckers" and that they never did any riveting before the establishing of these plants. Granted that these things are true, it but remains to fix the responsibility for the condition before reporting the matter to the proper government authority. A Negro held the championship up to a few weeks ago, for the greatest number of rivets driven. The government is crying "speed up" production at all the plants. We believe, nay, we know that any of the colored men who have worked at "brokking" can handle the riveter's gun successfully. Give him a chance. HANDLING THE "ELD" There can be no finer example of the splendid and successful results of a city's willing and vigorous cooperation, than is exhibited in the way all hands joined in with the Health Department and stamped out the "Flu." This achievement could not have been brought about except through perfect coordination and cooperation of all a city's forces, from the legislative and executive to the public opinion and obedience of the rank and file of citizens. Charitable organizations, war work agencies, churches and individuals have responded nobly and sacrificingly to this great call for service. When plague and contagion sweep across the land it takes the best spirit and courage of the people to cope with the situation, and the risk involved in volunteer service such as is required, calls forth the highest qualities of public spirit and sacrifice. The disease has caused considerable of inconvenience in the city, but it is less than in most cities. The death rate here has been small, and no more her has been kept with reevaluated bounds. Savanna is been rate and birth in the art and real war the board of health has handled this situation, for only so could we have been snared the suffering and inconvenience of other cities. The Negro is wealthier today than he has ever been. He has in his possession an abnormal per capita of wealth, due to the abnormally high wages being paid to the common laborer and the less skilled artisan. But this wealth is very elusive, ephemeral and fleeing. In fact, it is much like the bubble of mercury, hard to catch, difficult to put your finger on. The prime reason for this instability is that the holder as so irresponsible and improvident. There is not much hope that the great majority of these wage earners will bring much of anything out of this period of "long" money. They haven't the good sense to see that the lean years of reaction are bound to come, and to provide against them. They must be saved through education, and their wealth and opportunity will both be gone before they get the necessary wisdom. It is up to leaders to organize ways and means of getting hold of this money in a way best suited to give the spender the greatest advantage. They are going to spend it anyway, with some body, for high priced clothes, shoes All the businesses among us are doing well now. Let us multiply them in order to conserve this new wealth which will soon pass to come no more. SAVANNAH IN FOURTH LOAN It is nothing short of remarkable that Savannah "came through" so handsomely and so fully on the Fourth Liberty Loan subscription, especially considering the difficulties and unexpected interference which peace tails and influenza brought into the campaign. It was a tremendous whirlwind finish which the committee made. The appeal was thorough and wide; advertising campaigns left none unacquainted with the lofty purposes involved; the response was democratic unanimous, from everybody. We are glad of the splendid showing which colored people made. Their interest was exhibited very markedly on Saturday, when all day long and far into the night two long lines of subscribers issued into the Wage Earners Bank from the outside, at times extending down West Broad street. It was a big job to wait on these people, and required the services of additional clerks at the bank. At the announced time of closing at ten o'clock, these two lines were apparently undiminished and it was long past eleven o'clock when the crowd got thin. At the close of the day, it was found that colored people had subscribed for about $80,000 worth of bonds at the bank alone; $16,000 had been subscribed by the Mechanies Savings Bank, while figures from the Colored Liberty Loan headquarters at the Savannah Savings and Real Estate Corporation, were unavailable, but when complete returns are tabulated it is believed this institution also will show splendid results. NO PEAOE YET The British and French, quite like the Belgiums, have drunk deep of the cup of sorrow and suffering-brought to them by the war. 'The civilians of all these great countries have been in travail and tragedy, so severe and so much, that they cannot conceive of the quality of mercy in dealing with the German Imperial Government; they will do well in all human exalation, to deal with unwavering justice.' Speaking of this suffering in Savannah last week, Dr. A. M. Guttery, eminent English clergyman and governmental delegate to America, said that England is so sick of war that the present generation could never be provoked into another. He emphasized however, that the English morale is high for seeing this war through; the will of the British army is indomitable, inflexible and such that nothing short of complete victory will satisfy the purposes of the English people. "We are in this war to the finish," he said. The French have suffered as much, and more, and we believe they are as determined as are the English that Ger many shall not escape the just penalties of her wild wrath and ruthlessness. None of the Allies have forgotten the arrogance and abandon of German threat and boast in the earliest stages of the war, when one of the principal German spokesmen announced that "The greatest ruthlessness is in reality the greatest humanity. If it should be possible to destroy the whole of London that would be more humane than to allow one of our fellow countrymen to bleed to death on the battlefield, because such a radical cure would lead most speedily to peace. "England has stolen from us more than 400 merchant ships. The answer to this should be for every German merchantman, one English town or village will be destroyed by our air men." The Germans seem to have proceeded much upon this principle, much in the temper which such harshness of threat would indicate. Her record for recklessness and abandoned murder of non-belligerent and men, women and children: her wretched disregard of international law and humane convention: her utter destruction, waste and devastation, emply sustain her announced policy of ruthless warfare. The day of reckoning will come but not yet. Germany is in no attitude of atonement and reparation. She must yet be brought low, before she is in the proper mind for peace. There are yet no very certain grounds of peace. The German people have not yet grasped what tremendous concessions must be made to satisfy and avenge the public opinion of those who have suffered so much. In fact, there are no great peace consistent with what the leaders THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE point of view would consider German honor. Almost ignominious concessions of defeat is what is demanded. Germany must acknowledge herself hopelessly beaten, and that is just what her diplomats are seeking to avoid. They will yet seek to deceive the Allied opinion by playing the blame for German horror absolutely upon the shoulders of autocratic military power as embodied by the man ser and his immediate political family, and thus absolve the rank and file of German people. No matter what explanation may come from the reorganized head-stage, there is no compromise which will allow of any power remaining in governmental regime which may remain in the Fatherland. Whatever vestige of national organization may survive, to be recognized as representative by the League of Nations, must win back the international good faith, confidence and credit by its future. No respect will be conceded in its favor or in view of the bad faith of the past. In short, the good in Germany must suffer because of their willing or unwilling alliance with the bad, and the surviving Germany must come into the League on probation, with the task of proving its right to international trust and respect. Germany's evasion of the sweeping peace conditions as dictated through America, her sparring and parlaying, all indicate that she is not ready to make sweeping concessions for peace and thrown herself on the mercy of her enemies. Foch, then, must carry on; Haig must continue to apply the fire and Pershing must press forward, tightening the military grip on Germany everywhere; must continue until "Kamerad" is heard from very German subject, when peace terms will be just what the Allies, duly merciful, duly just, duly counting up the losses, will make them.

What are inspiration the Avenue is with its many colored flags, its artistic decorations and its hundreds of fond booths where one exchanged their surplus small change into stamps for the government. And the thousands of pretty girls who voluntarily gave their services to this splendid work: many times by their winsome smile won over a quarter or two that had an entirely different destination in view. The professional people are doing their share in a most admirable manner. One of the most favored and most popular actresses of the day was selling bonds at the plaza of the Library. Fifth avenue. She wore a black satin dress which was severely plain with black soutache braid in a design over the front of the waist and at the hem as the only trimming. A heavy stitken cord with hugh tassels at the end held in the attractive dress at the waistline. A large black hat with an embroiled ostrich on the brim claimed the right to outline the profile of this charming person. Back to the "Hobble SRirt" So tight are the skirts getting, that, with their added length, women are beginning to take small steps, even tiny steps, and the resultant effect is the strongsemblance to the "hobble" of the past. But these new skirts are conserving material for the government, and just a little shorter step is not regarded as a sacrilege when one is bent on being patriotic to the utmost. Besides, they are so graceful. Sometimes a button or two is left open at the bottom of the skirt to allow more freedom in walking. If the skirt is not buttoned from the waist New York, N. Y., Oct. 14th-Mme.

Estelle received their diplomas. A large crowd was present at the occasion. This large graduation class bears evidence that the Nu-Life system has made wide acquaintance in the beauty world. The school was founded by Mme. Estelle, many years ago, and has proven itself a real "science of theory" for the scalp. Mme.

One of the particularly good looking dresses that attracted my eye was of dark blue serge, and embroidered with senna-colored floss. The skirt was draped after the newest fashion, which gave it the effect of the peg tap. A small velvet toque of rose color, with dull blue petals, gave a pert and piquant demeanor to the costume. Dull black kid pumps, with military heels, this person of good taste chose us her footwear. Spats Are Popular Wilt advance of cool weather, spats are seen in greater numbers. Some how these things have the capacity to give an ultra smart appearance to the plainest costume. Though white ones are considered in good taste, they are not favored as much as the soft neutral shakes, fawn and sand color. Shoes are of soft exorbitant price that many women will find it less expensive to wear pumps and spats. The best selling shoe as the present time is the brown leather with the flat heel and perforated tip. The reason is well known. War work requires the women to walk a great deal, and high heels and fancy shoes would not stand much, wear. Military Influence in Top Coats The sad for the military. Influence in dress and suits is sort of "pass" and now is seen in the top coat. Illustrated here are two deserving models that would be a sure protection against the cold wave.

Good music and refreshments were enjoyed, after which dancing throughout the entire evening was in order. The class sang the "Star Spangled Banner," and presented a handsome token of esteem to Mme. Estelle for her work. This worthy comment is largely due to Mme. Estelle for her kindness to her pupils.

AMONG THE MASONS After a candidate for advancement has stumbled thru the lecture by the fortunately not an uncommon thing to help of considerable prompting, it is up hear an officer of the lodge rise to apologise for the candidate and urge his election in spite of his lack of preparation. We have even heard it predeed that his instruction was "ruisy" and at fault, and, therefore, the candidate be excused. The officer who made this plea for leniency did as much to weaken his lodge as the wisest disorganizer in the fraternity. Advanced in spite of his failure, that candidate is made to feel that "to improve myself in Masonry," is merely the foam which we blow from the glass of sociability. The value of the lessons which are contained in the degrees has received a slump from which it can hardly recover. And not to the candidate alone, but to every brother who witnessed this prostitution of our Ritual. His further advancement is possible only by a lie from the stewards and senior deacon, and the acceptance of that lie by the worshipful master. This glamouring over faults, inaccuracies, and ignorance, is one of the most demoralizing things we can allow to creep into the lodge. There has never been a candidate presented for advancement, no matter what his social status, who would not have been benefited by non-election to the succeeding degree if he were found to be not proficient in that preceding. He would realize that one has to give as well as receive, and would have made a better Mason there fore. That we appreciate most the thing hardst to attain is as true in Masonry as elsewhere, and by removing all difficulty we spoil good material and hurt the fraternity in our community.—Tyler Keystone. Undigested Masonry Physician tell us that when a person has been guilty of oversate in eating, there results a lack of proper assimilation of food, followed by dyspepsia. There are a great many Masons who are afflicted with Masonic dyspepsia, and they don't realize their condition. These men have taken several degrees in York and Scottish Rite in a minimum of time, and as a result have a sort of Masonic nightmare, in which the prevailing specter is regaled in a great variety of costumes and with a hundred arms, each one giving a dif ferent sign and grip. To them these many degrees have no real significance, and as a result no tangible lesions have been assimilated. This same man doesn't have time to read and thus his dyspepsia continues to grow worse until he finally dies a Masonic death, and some good secretary writes his epitaph as dimitted or suspended—Illinois Freemason. Go To Lodge The go-to-church movement is now behind us, and it is an admirable and necessary effort to lift people to higher, happier and more useful lives. But why not have a go to lodge movement? Why not start a voluntary group of those who will pledge to go to lodge at least once a month? What is the use of a lodge at all unless the members not only pay dues but give of their personal support? The useful mess, the efficiency, and the enthusiasm, of the lodge would be increased many fold if the attendance were larger. The social power of the lodge would be enriched with an increased attendance. There are many men who need sympathetic socialability, who are sometimes discouraged, discontented, who lose their nerve in the hard battle of life. To such the companionship of the lodge would bring new courage and inspiration. --- The Chatham Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company Issues a three in one policy, sickness accident and death.

DUNBAR, President DUNCAN PRINGLE, Secy-Mgr PHONE 1516 $ 4 5 8_{2}^{1} $ West Broad Street --- Sometimes we hear one say: "I have not attended lodge in a year or more. I, do not know any one there, and have no intimate friends there." But this is a very selfish idea. The way to get friends is to make them by going where they are, by mixing, else we become morose, krabbed, unhealthy, cold and dead. Then, too, we should remember that we owe something to others, that when we go among men we have something to give, we should not think always of what we may get. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Mingling with men makes us broad er, more liberal, less narrow and sel fish. It is true that the home and the wife should not be neglected. But the man who mixes with his felows is liked, and more cheerful and helpful, at home, men do neglect the home for other things and think noth ing of it. Let us have a go to lodge movement and make the lodge a place filled with happiness, inspiration and gladness. Give and it shall be given unto you—Palestine Bulletin. Masonry No Common Masonry should never become common. Its perpetuity and its value rest upon the intelligence and moral personnel of its membership and a daily exemplification in their lives of its cardinal virtues. Let us heed well the points of fellowship and not only put forth the hand to save a falling brother, but also to assist him to rise to higher planes of life and usefulness. Let not the rivalries of trade or the jealousies of ambition mar the environment of the Temple; and may we take to our hearts the great truth that there is no service so acceptable to the infinite God, as the unselfish, sacrificing service of our fellow men.—Masonic News, Oregon. The master of one of the most prominent lodges in this city complains that "out of more than 400 members of the lodge, I doubt if more than 50 come twice a year." This sustains our theory that the member who has nothing to do in the lodge will not come around regularly. And this applies particularly to men of mental activity and ability. The secret of interesting them is to give them employment.—Masonic Standard. Don't worry about the future, the present is all thou hast; the future will soon be present, and the present will soon be past." HEART LEAF TRADE MARK HAIR TONE Natures Famous Remedy.

Sutton has been called to the pastorate of Grace Baptist church, at Darien, Ga. We feel that Grace made a wise choice in securing the services, of a minister of Rev. Sutton's quality and qualifications. When it comes to mental and moral preparedness, his equal is hard to find. Rev. Sutton came to Savannah twenty years ago from the red hills of Georgia and has made a distinguished mark as a citizen and made a front rank mark among the ministers. He was educated at Bradford Institute. His membership is at Beth Eden Baptist church of which Beth Eden is profoundly proud. We bid him God speed and much success in his new field of labor. REV. B. B. WILLIAMS ORDAINED Madison, Ga.—On Monday night, September 30th, The Calvary Baptist church of this place, by permission of Thankful Baptist church of Augusta, Ga., called a council and ordained Mr. B. B. Williams, who had been recently called to the pastorate of Tabernacle Baptist church, Monroe, Ga. Mr. Williams displayed a splendid knowledge of the Bible, the New Testament church, the attributes of God, and, in fact, a fair knowledge of all subjects upon which he was examined. After a careful grading of Mr. Williams' answers, it was decided that he easily made an average of 92 per cent. The council consisted of the following named preachers: Rev. L. P. Pinckney, of Thankful Baptist church, Augusta; Rev. J. C. Ingram, of McHugh's Hall, near Madison; Rev. R. L. Simms, of Springfield; Rev. M. L. Pambro, of Antioch; Rev. W. D. King, of Calvary; Rev. W. M. Jackson, of Mt. Zion; Deacon Chas, Johnson, of Calvary and W. M. Howard of Mt. Perry. After the examination, the ordination took place within the church. Rev. W. D. King sang "Go Preach My Gospel;" Rev. R. L. Simms offered prayer, Rev. L. P. Pinckney gave the charge and Mr. W. M. Howard, with a few appropriate remarks, presented the Bible. The exercise was impressive, and now as pastor, the ordained is Rev. R. B. Williams of Tabernacle Baptist church, Monroe, Ga. We pray God's richest benefaction upon our very worthy and truly brother. W. M. Howard, secretary Rev. L. P. Pirkney, Chr. of council Rev. Williams is a brother of Mr. Edward R. Williams of 409 East Broad street, who is proprietor of one of the leading tailoring and pressing club establishments in this city, and is a member of the First Congregational church here. --- SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Green square, Rev.

Moblev) In the distance, there is a better day for the individual, the race and natl a that will be prepared for it. There is much to be accomplished by our people before we can hope to be reckoned with in the communities in which we live. Can we hope to be recognized by everlastingly complaining? Two wrongs will not make one right, so we as citizens should discharge our duty as such at all times regardless of our rights being denied. We should realize that the communities in which we live are not the country, state and neither the nation. Everything can't be accomplished at once, neither can we hope to get an opportunity to take part in the unplift of our people until we show ourselves worthy. While we are thinking of the disadvantages our people have to undergo, the other fellow is thinking of our short comings. So it is necessary for us to prepare for any changes that will take place when the war ceases. In the distance there will be a United State senator from Georgia, in the distance Negro will be on the jury road; throughout the Southland; in the distance Negro congressmen will be in councils of the nation at Washington, if only we stop complaining and work more, cease criticising and study more; stop looking for something to talk about and save more. Only in the distance equals the reward for those who are prepared to fill them and are worthy. Let every Negro register and vote in November for a Republican nominee for the senate, for in the distance a ray of light can be seen by those who trust in God and work and faint not. Mr. Willie Williams, one of our homo boys, has been promoted from a private to a sergeanty. Mr. Warren Talton, who has been confined to his room with fever, is convalescing. The "Flu" has closed the schools in this and all surrounding sections. The churches here and in many other places are also closed, as are all places of public gathering. Dr. I. S. Stafford, who spent several weeks in Detroit, Mich., returned home last week with influenza. It is hoped that he only has a mild case and will be out again soon. Every time you abuse the Negro you are making the other races think less of you, your own parents as well as the race, so stop criticising yourself and look on the bright side of life. If you want to keep up with the latest news of interest in this section as well as Georgia and the South, read the Savannah Tribune. It is our ambition to get a copy into every intel ligent home here. The writer will have a copy for you every Saturday. Miss Dunham, of Jacksonville, Fla., was the guest, of Miss Aurelia Hudson last Sunday. Miss Eula L. Collier has been confined to the bed with influenza.

NEGRO TROOPS BRAVE 129 DAYS (Continued from page one) couldn't all be heroes on $30 a month, could they? "We have been here several days. You should see my bullies now. All cleaned up, de-loused, new uniforms, spick and span and happy, and how they can drill and maneuver; I enclose copy of letter from General Chaibord, the French general, who commanded the infantry of our division so long leaving us to command a division. He seems to think well of us, n'est ce pas?" Enclosed in a letter was the following commendatory communication from General Chabord: "I thank you for the fine things contained in your letter. Be assured that on my part I have kept very pleas ant memories of the 369th R. I. U. S. of its brave and excellent officers and particularly of their commanding officer. "I should have been proud and happy to fight in open warfare, side by side with such warm hearted collaborators; I would have gone to battle with absolute confidence. "You had your share in the big battle with the French army which stopped abruptly the enemy offensive and which enabled us to counter attack somewhere else, on a large scale. "My division has been engaged in this counter offensive and has achieved some good work. For my debut I prepared and carried out an attack supported by an American artillery brigade under command of General Howley. The success of this attack is chiefly due to the cooperation of your compatriots, who displayed the finest military qualities. 'All right, Colonel, we shall get them.' They have led in the wing. Let us be also fore sighted against the kicks of the animal at bar. "My friendly regards to Colonel Pickering and to all your officers. "With a friendly hand shake and with the expression of my entire devotion."
