RALPH W. TYLER WILL TELL OF
DEEDS OF NEGRO SOLDIERS
Is Accredited ‘Representative of the
Committee on“Public Information
Paris, France, Sept. 28th—I haye
just reached this city, after a ten day
voyage, which was, for the most part,
uneventful. We experienced delight
ful weather from the time we pteam
ed out of New York harbor until we
fast anchor in a port over here. Had
it not been for the democratic spirit
prevailing aboard the big liner; and
which gaye me a most satisfactory
taste of this “world democracy” for
which the Allies are fighting, 1 might
have considered the yoyuge monote
nous. Abourd the ship was quite a
galaay of notable writers for the ig
dailies and magazines; feature and
Yictioh writers who were taking a
respite from that occupation to write
“sttaight, suff” for dailies they are
representing, Among them were celeb
rities like Will Ir yin, Robert W. Richie
Damon Runyon,7H, J. Foreman, erst
while managing editor of Collier's, and
Applegarth, usually known as “Appic,”
by the pencil pushers and readers
Each of these notable writers, former
newspaper reportérs, seemed to have
made special effort to make me forget
‘that my skin was several shades dark
er than theirs, and by so doing con
yinced me that this “world democra
fs” for which the Allies are fighting
ig neither a barren ideality nor a rain
bow vison, but an actual probability
whose courier is discernible with the
jnaked-eye. The treatment accorded
the by the newspaper men aboard was
but typical of the treament accorded
me by all the other passengers.
|Among the nearly two thousand souls
making the ship’s passenger list were
mapy Ied Cross, ¥. M. C,.A., Knights
of Columbus and Salvation Army
workers.These all displayed a most
notable evidence of a heurty spirit of
democracy hy their fraternizing as if
they were all members of the one and
same organization. Among the Y. 3L
©, A. war workers aboard were five
bolored sceretaries: Fritz P. Cansler,
of Knoxyiile, Tenn, Thomas M. Clay
ton, of Pigua, Ohiv, F. L. Clark, of
Teavenworth, Kans. D. D. Mattocks,
of Philadelphia, and G, V. Jackson, of
Youisville, Ky. The ¥. M. C. A.
yertainly made no mistake in sending
these five men overseas, for they rep
resent the highest type In the race,
and by thelr bearing: won the respect
and eyen admiration of all on board
ship.
Aboard the ship, also, was a colored
service battalion belonging to an en
gineer regiment. They were stout, hus
‘ky fellows whose good himor was ef
fervescent, even contagious, and their
rollicking songs and plantation melo
ies cheered all, making them, those
whose thought had incoluntarily turn
ed to submarines, forget them, and ban
{sh all fears from their minds, One
of the songs which they frequently
sang, and with a gusto which gave
urther evidence of thelr 100 per cent
Americanism, and which never failed
to elicit raputurous applause from the
white passengers, was “Three Months
From Now We Will Be In Germany.’
T had heard it said that the big wat
ers frightened colored soldiers, but
these colored soldiers aboard the shir
I sailed appeared as contented, scl!
entered, care bebereft on the big
ship at night, when lights were out
as they were down in Alabama, Virgin
ia, and other Southern state:
from whence they came. Their con
tentment at sea, and when in the sul
arine zone, constituted another dis
Plusion. Among these troopers were
some clever hoxers, and the monotons
of ‘just sky and water” was fré
quently broken by some rattling box
ing contests between these trooper:
for pretty substantial purses whic
the white passengers contributed mer¢
Jy ont.of admiration and respect for
these big, brave black boys, who dit
not “fear to come over here to firh
for world democracy. ‘

New York, Nov.—aAt a monster
batriote meeting Saturday night at
Carnegie Uall, under the auspices of
Tha Circle of Negro War Relief, the
principal speaker was Irwin $. Cobb,
theg famous war correspondent who,
has recently returned from the Prench |
front, where he was a witness to some
of the most important battles of the!
present conflict of the Allies against
Germany. Mr, Cobb's theme was the
“Negro Suldier,” aud his remarks ‘vere
of especial interest because of his in-
timate contact with the colored Ameri
4a Warrivrs during their trying bap
tisms of fire, s
Prominent among other speakers who
were heard on this occasion was Em
inett J. Scott, secretary of Tyskegee
Instttute, and serving as special assis
tant to Secretary of War Newton 1.
Baker, to advise him with reference
to the mauy delicate problems growing
out of the relation of the 12,000,000
Negroes of this country to the war, and
to indicate to his people how they
might render the most effective aid in
bringing victory to the American arms,
Dr. Scott prefaced his address with
the declaration that ‘this is the peo
ple’s war—not a white mun’s war,
nots black man’s war, but a war of
all the people under the Stars and
Stripes for the preservation of human
liberty throughout the’ world.” In
this conflict for liberty and world
wide democracy, Dr. Scott sald “The
Negro is proving to be a notable and
Inspiring figure.". He warned his peo
ple not to be deceived by unofficial
statements or expressions that peace
1s near, declaring that an enduring
peace will never come until ,the ene
my Is decisively beaten, and pledging
the continuance of the loyal black bat
tlers in the forefront of strife to the
very finish—until an honorable peace
has been enforced or obtained,
Dr. Scott noted that there ure now
overseas, “at grips with the-muster in
fancy of the civilized world or await
ing the call to active combat. nearly
400,000 gallant black soldiers, the
fruit and flower of the Negro race.
These, he said, represent a response
of more thah 50 per cent of the total
number of Negroes registered in the
draft, and a larger proportionate num
ber than has been true of other racial
troops registered under the first
draft, “And this number,” added
Dr. Scott, “takes no account of the
sturdy, upstanding mon of my race
sho are members of the four crack
‘regiments of the Regular army, nor
of teh 12,000 brawny men who came
intb service through the National
Guard organizations, such as the
"Fighting Fifteenth’ of New York,
which has, along with others, won im
imperishable fame on the battlefilds
in France.” He pointed with pride
‘bo the fact that while the Negro’ rep
resented only S per cent of the first
draft registration the race has actual
ly contributed 15 per cent to the num
ber called to the colors under sald
draft. He noted also that tn every
'100 in the first draft examined for
service, approximately 36 percent of
the Negroes were accepted, while only
24 per cent of the whites were accept
ed, a difference of 12 per cent in the
Negroes’ favor for physical quality.
This, he contended, dissipates the an
cient yarn about the black race being
a deteriorating or decadent people.
Relatively, fewer colored men claim
exemption from military service than
did the whites.
Dr. Scott further declared that the
war “grim-yisaged and ruthless as it
is, has served or afforded the Negroes
an opportunity once more to prove
their ynbounded, unfaltering loyalty
to the Stars and Stripes. The war has
made for the advancement of the mate
tial welfare of the“tace. Prior to
the present conflict the Negro had less
than a dozen commissioned officers;
now he has more than 1,200, all high
ly qualified and forward looking
men, From an army of but four regi
ments, with onty infantry and cavalry

$25,000 oF the War Chest Fund was
appropriated for Red Cross work a
Savanah. ‘The Negro branch of tc
“society has not shared that appropriz
tion, so far as we have been able to
Tearm, although they have served the
causes of the Red Cross, splendidly,
sucrificingly, acceptably. Negro wo-
men have made thousands of the dres
sings und bandages which is one of
the important phases of Red Cross
work; they have served the soldiers
passing through the city in troop
trains; they have met the myriad min
or duties of membership in that great
organization, nobly and well.
It has been u great struggle for them
to do so. Their children and hus—
bunds have made much sacrifice that
these women might give of their:
time and divide the meagre income of
the family with the Red Cross cause.
Now they need money. Need it for
maany purposes, not the least of which
is the entertainment of Negro troops
passing through this city from time
to time. Why should they not haye
a portion of that $25,000? Did Ne
grees not subscribe to the War Chest?
And though their subscription may
have been Ittle, there is no revs
why this should figure in or affect
that apportionment.
Negro soldiers go forth to fight for
{America, white Ametica as well as
for black America; and he is more a
defender and protector of white Ameri
¢a, because white America has 60
much, more of that which is dear to
defend? How in the name of free~
dom and democracy can white Ameri
ea fail her black soldiery? — How can
‘America discriminate in the appor—
tionment and division of Red Cross
funds, intended for the comfort of
soldiers defending this nation? Can
the Savannah Chapter of the Red
Cross with good conscience retain the
whole of that $25,000, while the Negro
brizch with the same sort of work, if
uiet so) much, mnt fa witout?
Wi Savannah refuse to set aside
suoney for entertaining Negro svldiers
as they pass through our gates?
THE NEW CONGRESS
Republican successes in the Con~
gressional elections held throughout
the country last Tuesday, giving that
party control of both the upper and
Jower houses, show very strongly how
the country views: Democratic admin

fer the momentous problems uf peace
negotiations and the graver problems

‘tae Republican. party.
It cannot be claimed that lo-al poli
tical questions determined the results
in the various states, ii as much as
that in nearly cyery state some
phase of war concern wus the absorb
ing question; in many states the plain
blunt issue between administration
er anti-administration candidates was
being waged. There were no local
iezues of any moment; every question
related to the attitude of candidates
toward the war program and the ad
ininistration at Washington.
The Democratic campaigners, thru
thejr most conspicuous leader, appeal
ed to the country to return Democratic
majorities in both housé in endorse-
ment of the President's conduct of the

DON'T DRINK SHIPS!
WAR
Are you shocked to see the lasty drinking ships?
You drink ships every time you use sugar unnecessarily, in a beverage.
Seventy-five per cent. of the sugar used in this country has to be brought here in ships. Every possible ship is needed for the transportation of troops and supplies to the other side.
Eliminate sugar as a luxury, and you release many ships for war purposes.

trist Work of Dr. Bostick
Announcement is made in The Savannah Tribune today that the business of the Bostwick Optical company is to be continued at 107 Broughton street, west, as in the past. The death of Dr. B. B. Bostwick, while a great personal loss to those in the company, as well as to his many friends in Savannah, does not mean the closing of the store. Fortunately, Miss Irene Norris, who is a graduate optometrist, is fully capable of carrying on the professional work of Dr. Bostwick, and she is to remain with the company in the same capacity as in the past. Miss Norris has been with the Bostwick Optical Company practically since its organization. She has done very excellent work and her professional standing is very high. The friends and patrons of the business are assured that they can continue to extend it their patronage with the certainty of receiving the same careful and efficient service rendered during the time of Dr. Bostwick's active career as one of the leading optometrists of the South—Adv.

AN HEROIC SACRIFICE.
. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY NOV. 9TH. 1918
The Sign Of Distress Braves All Danger
on every heart—stamped on every member. It should be the golden rule practiced not only in every household, but throughout the world. By helping one another we not only remove thorns from the pathway and anxiety from the mind, but we feel a sense of pleasure in our hearts, knowing we are doing a duty to a fellow creature.
The following story is attributed to the Confederate General Hoke, who was in command of a division at Cold Harbour, where the incident occurred. While resting during the heat of the day under a tree two of his men up proached, saluted and said:
"General, a wounded Yankee is lying out in front, and he wanted to know whether there are any Masons among us. We told him there were, where upon he gave the sign of distress and begged us to go out and bring him into our lines. We replied that we had been fired upon while helping his companions, and because of that you had issued strict orders against our passing outside."
A helping hand or an encouraging word is no loss to us, yet it is a benefit to others. Who has not felt the power of a little sentence? Who has not needed the encouragement and aid of a kind friend? How soothing when perplexed with some task that is both difficult and burdensome to feel a genie tangle on the shoulder, and to hear a kind voice whisper: "Do not to discouraged; I see your troubles; let me help you." What strength is in spired, hope orgained! what sweet grace is felt and the great difficulty dissolves as dow before the sunlight. Yes, let us help one another by endeavouring to strengthen and encourage the weak; and lifting the burden of care from the weary and oppressed, that life may glide smoothly on, and the fount of bitterness yield sweet waters; and He, whose willing hand is ever ready to aid us, will reward our humble endeavors, and every good deed will be as "Joad upon the waters, to return after many days," if not to us, at least to those we love.-Masenic Foremason.
General Hoke roused up and looked keenly at the two men. "Are you Masons?" he asked. They told him they were. "Do you know that it is almost certain death for you to try to give any help to that poor fellow?" "We do, but he has made the Masonic appeal to us, and we only await your permission to try and bring him in." "Then, in God's name, go. I do not stand in the way of courage like that."
As eagerly as if rushing to meet a returning brother, the brave men ran toward the Federal, who lay helpless on the earth. They had hardly started when the enemy, failing to understand the meaning of the act, opened fire upon them. They did not falter or show hesitation. Every one expected to see one or both full dead at every step, but they reached the sufferer, and then raised his limp body between them. They deliberately walked back with their burden, and neither of them received so mild as a scratch.
—Masonic Light...
Integrity of Masonry
Neither wealth nor place nor power has proven either right or recommen- dation for a place in these marching ranks. Yet never have they been closed to the admission of men, no matter from what walk of life they might some. Never has the cry of pain wrung by torture from persecuted vic- tim ever marred the onward march of this goodly company. Not a drop of innocent blood shod for opinion's sake has ever stained the road where this army of peace and progress has passed on its way. Uniting men of all nations upon the common- level of loyalty to great principles it has ever to great army of builders and never of destroyers. Derestation has never despoiled its way but peace and prosperity have forever marked its progress. I know how you love this order of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons. Ancient because its foundations were laid so far back in the dim ages of the past that the date of its origin has been lost in obscurity. Free as tending so as to render all who go in search of the light it shoals upon the darkness of insurance. Accepted of men because the great and good of every age and hand have been promoted of our mystic art—accepted of the Great Architect of the Universe because He has surfer ed it to outlive governments, nations, religions, and philosophies, permitting its light to shine unto this day as brightly as a shone at the beginning—Selected.
Of all the institutions in the world, says Bro. William J. Duncan, Masonry contains perhaps the fewest elements of retrogression. Its fundamental principles are based upon right actions by green men, rendering to every man his due justice. It judges with quiet, reprehends with justice, and commends all proper and just actions with freedom. It admonishes all to be controlled by its just and righteous dogmas. Masonry contains nothing of an auto cratle spirit, but deals with all men with equal regard and respect for honest opinions, even if they are not in accordance with the teachings of fraternity. There is nothing in Masonry that is not in accord with "pure and undefied religion." Its doctrines are pure and upright, and admit no deriation from a proper course in life.
Masonry teaches equality and a proper respect for the opinions of other men, but it is jealous of its own conception of right and wrong action. It is well known as opposed to all by poverty and all false doctrines of right, and teaches all its virtues to be honest in all things, just-to all men, and to practice pure morality in all walks of life. As every Mason who has given consideration to its teachings knows well, every true Mason is a good man, and of necessity must be upright in all his actions.
Masonry moulds men to its highest conception, but only on the condition of their willingness to be moulded. The unwillingness of many accounts for the envy, uncharitableness and unforgiving spirit in the hearts of some who claim to be Masona—Kansas City Freemason.

"Dear Fellows:
"I know you will be somewhat surprised to hear from me, but never the less I trust that it won't cause any shock. I have been thinking of you time and time again since I have been on the front and have threatened to write several times but first one thing and then another intervened. I am thankful to say that I am well and find our life here both interesting and exciting in the extreme. I am proud to say that since I have been connected with the army I have learned much of benefit concerning my association with other fellows and am glad to report that without exception they all have deported themselves well in this beautiful though war ridden country of France where the inhabitants are so hospitable and kind. I am in deed pleased to know that you have provided so generously for me and the other fellows in the army by exempting us from dues and otherwise taking care of us while we are away trying to do our duty. It seems now that things are breaking our way and that the enemy is about to break, at least his fighting spirit is waning. I know you will be pleased to hear that our boys are taking care of themselves in every engagement and their morale is truly great. They hunger for the fray and are always eager to get in the hottest of it. We are trying to sustain the record of our black brothers who have preceded us in the fights

of Uncle Sam and we believe that so far our accomplishments along this line have been creditable. Of course, we are all thinking of the time when we shall return home and the hearty welcome which awaits us. I have seen many of the boys from house here and they are all well and send their last regards. We are always talking of you fellows and the other Lone Tolls when we gather around the camp fires and you should just see the faces of the men as they tell of what they imagine awaits them when they get back home. "Again I want to express my thanks to you for your kindness to me and the other boys here who are members of our club and we assume you that we shall try in everything we do to respect upon you and our selves. I know that the club is getting along nicely. How we think so of you of that beautiful building and its comforts and now we shall enjoy there when we return. I was tickled to death to read of the big Thrift stamp parade and the time showing the Sav
annah Home Association made. Hoping that the fortunes of war will continue to break on our side and that we shall soon see the end of this struggle, I am

"Dear Friends:
I consider it a duty as well as a privilege to write you after being away from you for more than three months, and coupled with these is the pleasure I entertain in attempting to give you this hearing.
"I am now in France, as you may observe from the postmark of the letter, trying to do my bit and continue my part in this mammoth struggle for human liberty that has rested so heavily upon the minds of every genuine American citizen for some time. I shall do all in my power to maintain the standard that has been set by our people in previous wars, hoping the world-wide democracy of the Allied nations will triumph over the autocracy of the Central Powers, and the whole world represented by every nation, kindred and tougue will settle down in a peace that will live as long as thine lasts and the "Fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of man" will be upper most in the minds of all peoples everywhere.
"I can but remember the pleasant association I had with you, and am constantly praying for the restoration of the same and believe it will ulti mately come. * * * I would have you know that I am remaining stead fast and nimble in the faith, continuing the best I can to serve my Maker. I solicit an interest in your prayers for my continuance.
"I would appreciate a reply telling the success you are making in your work. Let us hope that the war will soon be over and that we shall return safely home when we shall enjoy a happy reunion and continue with the pleasant work of the school.
"With best wishes for the personal health of all, I am

Christian life. You can only realize how much immorality there is in the army, by being in it. May I ask that you extend to the members and friends of the church your best wishes, and tell them I am always thinking of them and praying for them. I ask an interst in the prayers of the church.
"I suppose most of the young men here are in some branch of the ser ice now, are they not? Our armies here are holding their own, as you have pointed in the papers. I am glad to be over here and I wish we had more of the men in America who are able to fight, or do something to help in this great struggle, we would soon put an end to this great conflict.
"We are now occupying one of the worse sectors on the entire front line and things are indeed pretty lively for us all the time. We are compelled to be extremely careful all the time. Where we are, we are not allowed to stand around the offices or any place that might attract the attention of the enemy, because if one man is spied the enemy will then know that troops are in the area and will at once begin to bomb or shell the place. At night we use candles for illumination and the light must be so hidden that it must shine out through the smallest crack anywhere. The Bache generally does his work at night.
"On the whole, we are having great times over here, with an adventure now
Winter is now setting in over here and I suppose the same is taking place there. Up to this time I have had perfect health, not even the slightest cold, even though I've been exposed at times.

Mr. George J. Foster,
Dear Friend
I received your letter over here that you wrote me last June, but I and left camp when the letter arrived. I was already over here. Well, I have been getting along fine since my arrival here and the people are very kind. The weather has been very unfair; it rains nearly all the time and makes it unpleasant. I have seen some of the boys from Savannah here, Knut Brown. Will Bright and little John Galloway. Tell G. W. and Patrick and his family hello. Be sure and answer at once because it takes mail a long time to get here. Your friend.
might have some of my good times. All the boys call me Frenchie, because I've developed into a fluent French speaker, so they say, but be this as it may, I've got the whole company skinied when it comes to meeting and conversing with the polite Frenchmen. It's getting cool here now, but not very cold. I'll be glad when it snows and ice covers the ground so that we can go skating. I have been keeping in good health and am feeling fine. I was sorry to hear of Mr. Wilcox death, but he was old and I suppose couldn't last any longer. It's pretty interesting here and my how lively. It looks now as if the Boche has about spent his greatest power and is almost ready to "kick in." Our boys are all in the best of spirits and of course will be glad when they thoroughly lick the enemy so that they can return to the States. Love to all.
