The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIV Boston Does Honor To Emmett Scott WAS GUEST OF THE N. A. A. C. P. AT SHAWMUT, CONG'L CHURCH Suggests Negro Member on International Commission. (Reported by Frank P. Chisholm) Boston, Mass., Nov. 16—Picturing the record of the Negro in the war, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war, suggested before a large audience of white and colored people in the Shawmut Congregational church last night the appointment of an International Commission to govern the future of the African colonies "upon which commission should sit a representative of the colored people in America." "The Negro in the War," was the subject of his scholarly and instructive address. Mr. Scott spoke under the auspices of the Boston Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. George W. Bradford, vice president of the local branch, preided and introduced Mr. Scott in the warmest and most cordial terms, assuring him that the National Association heartily welcomed him to Boston. In opening his address, Mr. Scott paid a tribute to the lamented Booker T. Washington, his former friend and chieftain, saying he had yearned "during these crowded, troublous days for the presence of that wonder seer, the leader of men, master philosopher, who was honored here in Boston during his lifetime by so many evidences of confidence and goodwill." Mr. Scott's address was highly informing and showed that when reduced to cold figures and considered on a per centage basis, the part played by the Negro in winning the war was truly amazing. While the Negro represented ed. Mr. Scott said, only 8 per cent of the first draft registration, the race had actually contributed 15 per cent of the number called to the colors under the first draft, or nearly twice as many as any other racial group in America in proportion to the Negro's numerical strength. These figures, he stated, took no account of our men in the regular army, the Fifteenth New York, the Eighth Illinois, the Ninth Battalion of Ohio, the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia and the separate companies from the commonwealths of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland and Tennessee. Continuing he said: "Of the first group of 208,053 colored registrants examined under the first call, 36.23 per cent of these men were accepted for service, while of the white men examined at approximately the same time, only 24.75 per cent were accepted; or, in other words over 36 out of every hundred colored draftees when examined were found physically fit, while out of every hundred white draftees of the selective service group referred to, only 24 or 25 were selected for military service. A decadent, deteriorating, or 'dying out' race would not have shown such a difference in its favor of more than 12 per cent. "Now we as colored Americans are represented in practically every branch of military service, including infantry cavalry, engineers, field and coast artillery,the signal corps,the medical corps,the veterinary corps,infant and artillery commissioned officers and army chaplains,as well as in the stevedore and labor battalions. "It is well that we sought, through the President of the United States and the great military and naval arms of the national government, to preserve the ideals of the founders of the Republic, and who are better equipped or better entitled than we to help fight the battles of freedom and liberty, for have we not come "up from slavery," have we not been tried and tested in the crucible of adversity, have we not been welded together on the anvil of oppression, and have we not been brot to realize in a most practical and convincing manner that "freedom is not a request, but a conquest"?" In discussing the principle of self determination of the smaller and weaker peoples, Mr. Scott's suggestion that we as brothers by racial ties and blood sympathy of the African peoples, should "speak for them and call for their freedom, for their liberation, for the self determination of their destiny, and for the appointment of an International Commission which shall in the future govern these colonies, and upon which commission there shall sit a repressive of the 12,000,000 colored PORO COLLEGE BUILDING, SAINT LOUIS, MO.

OFFERED CLERKSHIP Mr. Samuel S.

On last Saturday he was appointed to a clerkship in the Bureau of Markets in the department of Agriculture at an attractive salary, but he declined because he did not care to give up his school duties during the term and to sever his connections with the People's Health and Life Insurance company, where he has a large debit. MARRIED IN BALTIMORE Miss Maude G. Sampson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Sampson of 527 East Huntingdon street, was quietly married to Mr. James D. White of Baltimore, Thursday, November 7th. The bride and groom will make their home in Baltimore at 520 Robert St. people of America, who represent the largest group of forward looking black people in the world, to voice the inar ticulate yearnings of that host of exploited and pillaged people." In concluding his address, Mr. Scott spoke hopefully of the future, saying that while he did not believe that the millenium would come over night, or that long standing prejudices and the ages old desire on the part of stronger peoples to control and dominate the weaker ones would suddenly give way, nevertheless he was convinced that "we are never to go back to the old or der again." His Honor Andrew J. Peters, mayor of Boston; Hon. Channing H. Cox, Lieut. Gov. Elect of Massachusetts and Mrs. Butler R. Wilson were the other speakers at the meeting. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY NOV. 23RD 1918 long distance phones in each room and every room is an outside room due to two spacious courts. It equipment includes steam laundry, electric passenger and freight elevators, pneumatic carriers, besides a spacious auditorium. The building has 31 private rooms Churches and Other Organizations to Assist in the Movement. The plans for food conservation for world relief to be emphasized in the campaign to be carried out the first week in December, incident to the presentation in the schools, lodges, clubs societies and churches, of Mr. Hoover's message on the program of conservation for the immediate future is developing, with great satisfaction to the workers in the organized forces of the United States Food Administration. The initial reading of the message will occur on Conservation Sunday, December 1st, in the churches and other religious organizations which then assemble. The bishops of the colored churches are requesting all pastors in their jurisdictions to present the food mes day. The national and state leaders of fraternal orders, clubs and societies and the educational organizations, are all cooperating to do effective work in having the message reach all classes, and secure the largest possible audience among the Negro people during the week December 1-7. The message includes the special appeal and reason for individual participation in the new conservation program of voluntary control in order to meet the international food needs. To stop saving now would be like aiding an enemy of humanity. For some time yet we shall have neutrals, allies and our own soldiers to supply with food through the result of saving on the part of the American people, and in addition we may share even with our conquered foe. In no other way can social order be restored in German territory and else where in Europe. Every meeting held by colored people during the first week in December is arranging to feature the conservation idea. The organization of the colored people under the auspices of the Food ple under the auspices of the Food Administration has developed gatisfactorily and received the support of all the leaders in every part of the country. Special interest is centered in the arrangement made with the Federation of Colored Women's clubs in various sections to assist the Negro state directors and county representatives during the great drive December 1st to 7th. The postponement of Conservation The postponement of Conservation Week to December 2nd, because of the influenza epidemic, which is apparent ly over, has only added to the ranks of our workers and given time to strengthen the organization to carry out the propaganda. Ernest T. Att well, head of the Negro section, states: "The responses received from Negro leaders of national influence have been very gratifying. They indicate an interest in and a willingness to (Continued on page four) for shampooing, hairdressing, massaging, manicuring and chiropody.

NegroesUrged to Give $1 War Work FINAL MEETING FIRST AFRICAN BAPTIST CHURCH, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25th, AT 8 P. M. Rev. W. G. Alexander Is Chairman of The white people of Savannah have already raised their quota of the National United War Work fund, $150,000 of the $250,000,000 appeal. Negro leaders appeal to you to make a fair showing by the gift of but one dollar each. This war gift is no Liberty Loan or War Saving Stamp subscription, which gives you your money back with interest, but it is the gift of one Negro dollar to bring good cheer, religious life, night schools, teachers, build huts to protect your soldiers from the weather, give stamps, paper, smokes, books, magazines, news papers, Christmas boxes and the like, to show Negro appreciation for our men who have left all to fight for u and to save civilization. Can it be true, as stated, with 50 years of freedom and with all of the prosperity which has come that we cannot be aroused to give one dollar to a great cause led by our own leaders? Is it a fact that if white leaders, men and women, led this move ment the Negro would readily respond with his dollar? If the Negro leadership of the pulpit, business and industry can't arouse the Negro to stand upon his own feet at this late day our leadership is of no value, but we have full confidence in its merit and power. The Negro War Work Council of One Hundred appeals to you as a matter of race-honor, assuming the responsibility to help collect the $6,750 War Chest Fund, which alone can entitle us to representation in the $150,000, Savannah's quoth of the War Work fund. We reasonably urge every subscriber to pay over to the Hibernia bank or to us who will honorably report it in addition to the one dollar which is comparatively nothing by the side of the men who offer their all upon the altar in cantoument, upon the scas and the blazing battlefields of France. We ask every member of our council of one hundred to get nine other men to give you at least one dollar each. Our colored women are scouring the streets, alleys and lanes, and calling at every business house in order that they may report some thing each day at headquarters, the Red Cross rooms, Masonic Temple, or at any one of the three colored banks. By the Negro Council of One Hundred, The speakers who will address the closing meeting of the United War Work campaign next Monday night at the First African Baptist church, Franklin square, are Revs. S. T. Redd and J. S. Moody, Mr. J. W. Welcher, and Dr. O. C. Clayborn. W. G. Alexander, chairman, R. S. Taylor, secretary B. W. White, secretary of the Council. W. S. Scott, treasurer.

GOODALL The Spruce Street Baptist church of Nashville, Tenn. out of the largest churches in Tennessee, has extended a ‘nanimous call to Rev. T. J. Goodall, D. D, pastor of tlie First African Baptist church, Franklin square. Mince his pastorate here, Rev. Goodall has received several flattering calls elsewhere, but his members are deter mined to keep him here, where he is @oing so much constructive work for ‘the church, and has taken so much in verest in civic affairs. Dr. Goodall is a decided asset to any eommunity, and’ The Tribune hopes that he will in no-manner, consider the call Speaking of the call, the Neghville Clarion says: “The church has made a wise choice, and if the young divine can see his wef clear to secept the call, the church will enter Upon a new era of prosperity.” A NEGRO PROGRAM OF RECON- STRIJOTION ’ Some weeks ago, we suggested, ed torially that there should be a nation ‘al meeting of representative Negro men embracing groups of leading Ne gro men from every section-nt-the coun ty and representing every avenue of Negro interest, to take up the serious business of devising a .program and “entlining a course for tho" American _Negro, in the days of the new recon— ‘struction. ‘We do not take credit for the Idea, for we know that many men must have ad the idea simultaneotsly, because of the very expediency and exigency of the Negro’s national stutus. We are only glad that the idea bids fair to be worked out in the National Race Representative Congress, under the aus pices of the” National: Equal Rights League, which will be held in Washing ton next month. 7 We must hope that thig meeting will be absolutely and rigidly non-partisan, weutral as to all other organizations and their propaganda, entirely uew,— with the sdle purpose of, representing the interests of the Race§ “If it is not thus free, untrammeled, non partisan, patriotic and unselfish, it has failed already. We sev great good to be accomplished by such a meeting if it 4g well plumed, well directed, repre sentative, and has the necessary cour age to stick to its job. . ‘We believe our story has never been told, fully, openly, by a real represen tative in all that term may imply.

Union Development Company: 458 West Broad Street Savannah, Ga. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 18th—The funeral of Past Grand Master John Dickerson, who died Thursday, was held here yesterday afternoon in Mt. Zion A. M. B. church, the interment being in Evergreen cemetery. The funeral was in charge of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, of which Dr. Dickerson had been grand master for seventeen years. Death came to the eminent craftsman Thursday at 11 a.m. at his residence, corner of Enter prise and DeWitt streets, preceded by declining health which began several years previous, during which medical aid of the best available had been sought. Grand Master D. D. Powell began at once upon announcement of the death of the past grand master, to notify the grand lodge officers by telegram and telephone, all over the state, and by this means there were present at the funeral many from different and remote parts of Florida. He and his staff were on duty in the fullest performance of their duties and laid the body to rest with befitting rites, having present local members of the official staff, and eminent Masons in the persons of John R. Hall of Tampa, Richardson of Daytona, Sherrod of Tampa, J. Madison Jenkins of Palatka and others. Services at the church were directed by Presiding Elder P. R. Roberts, D. D., of the Suwanee district of the A. M. E. church, under whom Rev. Dickerson served, in the pastorate up to the time he was forced to take to his bed in his final illness. Brief and pointed eulogies were de livered by Rev. T. H. B. Walker, W. I. Lewis, Judge Joseph E. Lee, J. Madison Jenkins, the closing remarks being made by Bishop Jno. Hurst, who spoke with much candor of what the occasion presented to all. The Masonic ceremonies were led by Grand Master D. D. Powell, assisted by Past Grand Master E. A. Bryant, Illustrious A. L. Lewis and J. Madison Jenkins. Present in her official station was Mrs. Mary L. Smith, grand most an ancient matron of the Heroines of Jericho, who had not heard officially of the standing of the deceased grand master's court to call together the oines in a body to attend the funeral. The floral offerings were magnificent and numerous. The active pallbearers were: A. L. Lewis, O. J. Coleman, O. W. Morrison, J. Madison Jenkins, John R. Hall and G. S. Sherrod; the honorary pallbearers being Revs. A. P. Postell, S. G. Baker, L. M. Robinson, W. T. Cowan, "No other business has been hit harder by the war than the newspaper business, particularly in the smaller cities and county towns. The large metropolitan papers have probably suf fered least. During 1917, more than 1200 publications went out of business. After making allowance for new papers started, it appears that there was a net loss of 62 dailies and 569 week lies. "And one of the serious features of the situation is that the people of the country probably do not realize that the most valuable portion of the press has sustained the greatest loss. Under popular government the country press, including not only country week lies, but the smaller dailies, is the real voice of the people. Editors of large metropolitan papers do not have and cannot have the close touch with the people that is a necessary incident of the life of the country editor. Just as Washington, D. C., is the poorest place in the country to get a line on the political thought of the nation, so the big city newspaper office is the poorest place to get a correct picture of national thought, either political or otherwise. The people of the United States should realize this, and should see to it that whatever else happens the country press shall be maintained. "Freedom of speech and of the press is the first essential of a Republican form of government, for the representatives of the people cannot know the thoughts and aspirations and desires of their constituents unless voiced through the mediumship of the local press to which they have access either directly through the publication of communications, or indirectly through the editor's interpretation of the views of his community. "The country press, including the smaller dailies, represents the producing element of our national life. The large metropolitan press represents the commercial factors. Just as production is the first essential of a permanent prosperity, so the maintenance frist 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.

As a youngster’I was taught to believe the bible, and I believe it now. ‘There may be more modern theologies, and beliefs more up to date, but the old Book and its teachings are good enough for me. We do not love our friends for the kind of English they use, nor for their physical beauty, Their language is pleasing and their fuces ure beautiful because they are our friends; so the old Monitor and Ritual, through years of association, have become dear to us, and changes, even though admittedly good, seem al most sacriligious. The old Monitor and old Ritual for me; ang when agita ‘tion for another revision¥vome, as it surely will, I serve notice on you now that I shall make motion to readopt the ones just discarded and shall feel confident of your unanimoys support— Selected.

Butler) "In France" In this great world conflict now rug ing over the whole of Europe, wonder ful changes have taken place. Nations have sent their sons from the four corners of the world and they have been accepted as comrade and brother. Then came the time when "Old Glory" asked for red-blooded sons. The call reached the south and was heard and answered. The American Negro donned the khaki and bade farewell to home and country, even as his white brother did. At the training camp he drilled daily, shared the same spartan simplicity at camp. The same comforts were afforded him by the great American organizations for the soldiers of democracy, and he felt and appreciated these noble cings. The reas were crossed and the fears and joys alike he shared with his white brother. We know the eyes of America are upon us and that big things are expected of us, the colored sons of America. We are doing all in our power to bring back a clean record that will go down in our nation's history. Here, in the dark hours of the trenches, and behind the lines, we share the same fare, fight the same battles, meet the same God, as comrade and brother. But burning deeply in the heart of every colored son of America in the trenches is one big, vital question— When I return to the land of my birth how will I be received? Am I to be Outfit consists of one Durham Duplex Razor with white American ivory handle safety guard, stopping attachment and Durham Duplex Blades, packed in a pumice red leather Kit.

HAVY Are you shocked to see the lady drinking ships? You drink ships eye. Use 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 "nigger" or to be brother? Have I not fought the same battles for the same cause? Are the people who profess to be christians, going to still maintain a white god and a colored god, or is the brotherhood of man going to be their standard? For years we have waited patiently for this savage creed to die. When other races have used violence to gain their liberty we have prayed to God that He forgive and give them light. There was no colored edition to God's sermon on the Mount. We do not expect racial superiority, but mere racial equity, and this we ask as men, christian men. It is not glory that we are fighting for but democracy, that real thing which we hear so much about these days and which we as a people have as yet not been permitted to experience. I was one of the number, in the July call, from the red hills of Georgia, I had but re easily been ordained to the ministry, but when the call for men to carry on the conflict for democracy came, I answered readily and gave done my host to help our country defeat the warring Hun. I am here with the boys in the trenches; I know their steadfastness in battle; I sees their eagerness to fight and spill their blood that the Stars and Stripes may wave victoriously; and I know their dearest and most precious desire—that when they return to America they may be received as sons of the "land of the free and home of the brave" and be given a man's chance to live their humble lives in peace and happiness and be given an opportunity for their fullest development as citizens of the great country whose flag they have fought so valiantly to up hold.

In view of the increasing number of women employed in the factories of the United States, the Children's bureau, department of labor, is making every possible effort to protect the mothers of young children and to prevent them working in conditions that are a menace to the welfare of the child and the health of the mother. The study of the Children's bureau made in Manchester, N. M., seems to prove beyond a doubt that the child ren of mothers who work before the birth of the baby and who leave the child to return to the factory have a poorer chance of surviving than those of mothers who stay at home. It has been demonstrated that the lower the wages of the father the greater the infant mortality. In Manchester, wherever fathers earned less than $450 a year, 73.3 per cent of the mothers were gainfully employed. The study entailed 1,613 babies. Seventy nine babies were stillborn, and of the 1,564 born alive 258 died during their first year. That is, in Manchester 1 baby in every 6 died, whereas for the United States as a whole 1 baby in 10 dies, and in New Zealand 1 baby in 20. Among the babies whose mothers worked in the year before they were born a higher mortality occurred than was found in the city as a whole, and the rate for babies whose mothers stayed at home to care for them was still lower. Mothers who worked during pregnancy were also found to have a larger per cent of stillbirths, 5.5 per cent of their babies being stillborn, while 4.1 per cent of the babies of mothers not gainfully employed were still born. The records show that of 267 children of mothers who stayed at home 40 died, while of 406 babies whose mothers worked away from home 106 died. The report says: "The evil effects of the mother's gainful employment away from home lie primarily in depriving the child of the mother's care and in substituting artificial feeding. The younger the baby the more marked the effect. Of 119 babies whose mothers worked away from home be fore the baby was 4 months old, 33 died before the age of 1 year. The mortality rate was 2773 per 1,000." The Children's bureau's study of infant mortality in Waterbury, Conn., was made during the period of the war before the United States had entered the conflict. In Connecticut the law prohibits women from working for a certain time before the birth of a child. Of 95 women who worked in the metal factories, 66 stopped three months before the baby was born. 15 during the last month, and 2 worked until two weeks of the birth. Among the babies of mothers not gainfully employed 160 out of 1,480 died, the mortality rate being 110.5, while among 695 births to gainfully employed mothers 149 babies died, the mortality rate being 148.2. All studies made and all statistics compiled seem to show that the child has less chance of surviving the first year if the mother is compelled to go to work in a factory during that time. It is also clear that women do not go once, but because they must have mon to work from sheer wayward preferency to help support the family. Robert Grant .25 T. J. Greene .15 R. A.
