The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIV $65,000 RAISED FOR UNITED WAR WORK BY NEGROES Colleges of City Contribute Over Five Thousand Dollars to Fund Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25—The United War Work campaign came to a close here and in the Southeastern division with victory written large upon the banners of the workers. There was much to discourage and hamper the work here, but in spite of all these things the showing made by the race was something to be proud of. In the first place, the campaign managers did not plan to have Negroes take any prominent part in directing and planning how best to reach our people, but our leaders insisted on recognition of the forces that lead and direct the higher destinies of the race in this section of the country, and, as we have said before, the Negro will have to be consulted more and more as the years come and go, if the cordial relations that all hope will grow stronger and more permanent, are to be realized. The wisdom of our contention has been more than demonstrated right here in Atlanta, to say nothing of the other cities and states in his division. When the campaign came to a close here on last Wednesday evening the Negroes of this city had given $60,000 and counting the pledges of the six colleges located here the grand total goes over $65,000. It might be of interest to know how these colleges responded, for it is a brilliant showing: Morehouse College, $1,600; Spellman Seminary, $1,374; Atlanta University, $850; Clark Univ., $500; Morris Brown University, $405.10 and Gammon Theological Seminary, $302, making a total for these schools alone of $5,031.10. When Prof. B. T. Harvey of Morehouse College consented to take charge of the Victory Boys and Girls' campaign, just about two weeks before the campaign was to close he was told that if Atlanta could get 500 it would be considered good in view of the short time in which he would have to work, but to the surprise of all 2,651 boys and girls had joined in Atlanta alohe. He had associated with him, as workers, Lewis Foster, L. R. Lyons, A. F. Stewart, Miss Kenedy, Mrs. Marie Finch and Mrs. Suttles. The best kind of cooperation was given these workers by all the teachers in the public schools. Many of these teachers after teaching a double session each day would give from four to five hours helping to make Atlanta go over the top. On the closing evening Governor Deneey delivered a fine address in praise of the work of the colored people, saying that it matters not what else might come out of this great world war, this one thing is true, the Negro has shown himself an American partiot. These words of the governor were greeted with loud applause by his hearsen. Rev. P. Jas. Bryant was the city secretary of the campaign here, Rev. A. B. McCoy of Americus was state executive secretary, which position he still holds. Prof. M. W. Reddick, principal of the Americus Institute, Americus, Ga., and who directed the Thrift Stamp campaign earlier in the year when the Negroes of the state subscribed for more than three million dollars worth of stamps, was in charge of the whole division in this drive. Associated with Prof. Reddick in directing the affairs of this movement, was Arch Trawick of the International Committee of the Y. M. O. A. The college and school work of the drive throughout the state was in charge of J. B. Watson also of the International Committee of the Y. M. O. A., and L. R. Grave was director of the entire division. W. J. Trent, secretary of the local Y. M. C. A., was appointed as associate publicity director of the Southeastern division, and director for the state of Georgia. Among the women who did excellent work in the drive were Mrs. Mattie Ford. Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant. Mrs. H. R. Butler Mrs. McCoy, including the entire office force the largest contribution to the drive here come through Grand Secretary H. D. Davis for the Old Dollars. A. encapotery. came over from the "EVERY MEMBER DRIVE" BY 1ST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH The Congregational churches in America, under direction of the National Council, will conduct a simultaneous "Every Member Drive" on Sunday afternoon, December 8th, between the hours of two and five o'clock. On that day sixty thousand volunteer canvassers will call upon one million constituents in the three hours. The principles of Christian democracy from the foundation of Congregational churches and their world wide work which the drive seeks to sustain will be emphasized. The aim of the drive is to raise sixteen million.dollars; four millions for missions and charities and twelve millions for local church support. In order to do this every Congregational church is enlisted to enroll every Congregationalist in the country. The drive is calculated to be a great spiritual uplift for the churches and will call for a nation wide spirit of team work. The local Congregational church is enlisted in the movement and will conduct a vigorous canvass during the three hours of the drive. Thirty canvassers of the church will call upon every Congregationalist in the city to do his bit in this drive for the sustenance and progress of the Pilgrim principles. A special sermon on "The Meaning of Congregationalism" will be preached at the First Congregational church by the pastor, the Rev. W. L. Cash, tomorrow morning at the 11 o'clock service. A feature of the service will be special music by the choir. OPENING OF THE NEW SANITARIUM POSTPONED The opening of the Statesboro Sanitarium, which has been built by Dr. Harvey Van Buren at Statesboro, Ga., and which was to have been opened last week, has been postponed to the third Sunday in next month. The new sanitarium is the only one in the neighborhood of Statesboro to which colored people will have access. It is modern in every respect, can accommodate fifteen patients and is well fitted up. It is expected that several of the local physicians will make the trip to Statesboro on the third Sunday in December to be present at its opening. Dr. Van Buren, the owner of this most needed institution, is well known in this city. "I attach herewith copy of a letter which has just been placed on my desk by Mr. Frank T. Reynolda, the organization secretary of the publicity department of the United War Work Campaign in Georgia. It shows that your publication has been exceedingly liberal in giving its attitude to the campaign. "On behalf of Mr. Ely R. Callaway, state campaign director, I want to extend our very deep appreciation for what you have done and to say that we all feel that the campaign was put over successfully largely because of the wonderful amount of free publicity given to the campaign by the press of Georgia.

FOCH REFUSES TO DRAW THE COLOR LINE Paris, France—The story is told how certain influence, attempting to get Marshal Foch entangled in the web of race prejudice, seeking to segregate Colored officers and soldiers in France, received from the great field marshal the following: "Gentlemen; When Gen. Pershing came to France he found a black man at the head of the French Army. France has no color prejudice, and per secutes no man on account of color or creed. General Dodd, to whom Marshal Foch referred, was stationed in Co-chin, China, for many years in command of the Oriental armies of France, where his military and diplomatic skill were so great that France named him to take charge of the Allied Armies in their march to Pekin at the time of the Boxer Insurrection. He speaks many languages and dialects, and his familiarity with the Chinese language and literature contributed largely to his pre-eminent success in the Orient.

GOVERNMENT TO SEE RE- DEMPTION OF WAR STAMPS Not at all Satisfied with the Showing Thus Far Made by Georgia Washington, D.C. Nov. 23rd—The Treasury. Department is not at all sat isfied with the showing made thus far by the State of Georgia in regard to the redemption of War Savings stamp pledges by the citizens of the state. In June the people of Georgia signed pledge cards to the amount of thirty-three million dollars and up to date there has been purchased in Georgia only approximately thirteen million dollars of War Savings Stamps. All of these purchases of stamps have not by any means been by those who pledged to purchase certain amounts last June. In fact, it is conservatively estimated by the Treasury Department that there are approximately twenty-five million dollars of unredeemed pledges in Georgia at the present time. All of the records in regard to the pledges made by Georgia citizens will be immediately gone over and checked and the first notification to those who have failed to redeem their pledges will go forward at once. If the citizens of Georgia do not immediately redeem their War Savings Stamp pledges, a representative of the Treasury Department will be sent to every community in the state and will stay on the job in the community until all pledges are redeemed. (Signed) Edward Young Clarke, State Publicity Director. FOLK SONG FESTIVAL The Folk Song Festival will be presented to Savannah as soon as the "ban" is lifted. Duo notice will be given.

NUMBER 11 Georgia Conference Adjourned Sunday Georgia Conference Adjourned Sunday ALL LOCAL MINISTERS RETURNED TO THEIR CHARGES Session Meets Next November at St. Philip Monumental Church. The fifty-third session of the Ga. Annual Conference, which convened here Thursday, of last week at St. James A. M. E. church, Rev. A. L. Sampson, pastor, came to a close Sunday afternoon with the reading of the pastoral assignments made by Bishop J. S. Flipper, D. D., who presided over the sessions. The reports of the pastors in general, showed an increase over the work of the previous year, and the amount of money raised this year was also shown to surpass that of the year before. Of the local churches, St. Phillips, West Broad street, led in both the amount of money collected during the year: for all purposes and dollar money, the former amounting to $12,872.00 and the latter $630.00 For education, missions and general purposes the conference raised $15.000 Several sets of resolutions were passed at the educational mass meeting which was held the second night of the conference. The first set drawn up in behalf of the work done at Central Park College, this city; Paine College, Cuthbert; and Morris Brown University, Atlanta, was unanimously adopted as was also the other set in which the conference asked that the race be represented at the forthcoming peace conference. The latter resolutions were as follows: "Whereas the ten or twelve million American Negroes in the United States occupy a peculiar and singular position in the body-politic of their country, and whereas they represent the highest degree of achievement and progress of any similar racial group in the world, and whereas, by their contributions in money, labor and 400,000 soldiers (one in every 20 of its population) to victory in the world war, it has by its unstinted loyalty won a right to the consideration, not only of its own country and government, but the consideration of the world; "Therefore, be it resolved, That we, the Negroes of this country, claim representation at the forthcoming world's peace conference, and, in case the President of our republic does not see fit to appoint a Negro or Negroes on the United States peace commission, that we call upon the Negroes everywhere to contribute of their means to send a suitable commission or delegation of thoughtful Negroes to the place of meeting of the peace conference, so that they may there, in an unofficial way, set forth the demand of the Negro for the same rights and privileges and humanities accorded to any other people without regard to race, color or creed; that our peace committee join with other race varieties throughout the world in their opposition to race prejudice and race discrimination so that liberty and democracy shall include all mankind in the blessings for which the world has bled and for which so many of our sons have died." The transfers in appointment which were made were Rev. J. H. Este to Columbus, J. F. Martin to South Ga. conference, R. D. Wilson to South West Ga. conference, Revs. S. A.

Do you know that you folks at home as well as the brave boys "over there" are menaced by, "poison gas"—the insidious kind that steals away health and the joy of living, in the perpetually recurring disturbances resulting from a gassy, sour stomach. 1200 New York physicians regularly prescribe JOHN'S DIGESTIVE TABLETS as the most perfect form of relief known for these stomach disorders. The TABLETS are highly beneficial for gastric and intestinal indigestion, heartburn, acid or sour stomach, flatulence and gastric catarrh. They sure do vanish that poison gas which is the basis of most stomach salments, as well as banish bad breath which usually heralds that gas-filled stomach. Get the TABLETS at your drug store. They insure quick, lasting relief by taking three to six dissolved in a glass of water or chewed before swallowing. Have JOHN'S DIGESTIVE TABLETS handy in the dining room for chronic cases of gastric or intestinal indigestion—as one or two TABLETS should be taken before each meal. L. D. JOHNS CO.

The Declares that America is Proud of Her Brave Colored Troopers, and that They Hold Nation's History in Their-Hands. War Chief Warmly Greeted, and Gains Much First-hand Information. Some Human Interest Stories of Negro Battlers on the Firing Line By Ralph W. Tyler, Accredited Representative of the Com- mittee on Public Information Somewhere in France-Using a gasoline can as a rostrum, Secretary of War Baker, in the course of his inspection tour over here, addressed an audience of over more than 2000 colored stevedore troops during their lunch hour. The speech as well as the entire stage setting, was highly inform al. Part of the Secretary's audience lay sprawled upon the floor of a half finished ware house, overlooking the local gasoline can, and nearly all of them went on munching their mess kits as it was intended they should do.,The Secretary told the men how proud the people, all the people were of them, and especially how proud their own race people were of them. He told them a couple of short, comical stories that quickly surrounded him with an amphitheatre of white teeth, all set in a broad smile. When he wound up by telling them that when he got back to America, he was going to tell their people how well they had been doing, and the big shove they were giving to the ur my supplies which made it possible for the men at the front to win battles. He got such a "hand" as only strong and honestly-calloused hands can give a speaker. Both before and after his talk to them, Secretary Baker mingled among the men, asking them questions right and left, and thus getting much first-hand information from these colored stevedores. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Secretary's trip among he colored men over here was at Blois. Here there is a battalion of Class B and C, all of whom had been wounded in action, and many of whom proudly wore the Croix de Guerre or the D. S. C. They were lined up for inspection together with their splendid band, also composed of B and C men. The secretary would not consent to their being introduced to him, but, as he put it, "It is an honor to be introduced to you." From the middle of the boxing ring and band stand combined, which is the pride of the Blois camp, Mr. Baker told them how much their forts had been appreciated by the nation; how greatly the nation was in debted to them, and how they, all of them, would be marked men in their communities throughout their entire lives for the service they had rendered their country in time of urgent need. "In after years," he said, "men will come home to their families and tell with pride, and with a glow upon their faces, how they had met and fought with valiant colored men at Belleau Wood, ut Chateau Thierry, at Soissons, on the Vesle and at Champagne." Concluding, Secretary Baker said to these colored troopers: "The history of America is in your hands, for you have enlarged it and helped to make it what it is today—a thing to fill every American with pride." ST. MARY'S BAPTIST CHURCH THE SAVANNAH TRIBUN SATURDAY NOV, 30 1918 preached at the morning worship. Despite the rain, there was a goodly number out to hear him. Dr. Lindsay was most cordially received by the members, this being his first visit to the church and city since closing his four year's pastorate in 1909. Tomorrow being Communion Day, quite a large crowd is anticipated. "Envy, Origin: Cure" is the subject of tomorrows Sunday School lesson. "All for Christ" is the subject for discusssion in the League. The Sunday School will meet fifteen minutes earliert 2:45 p. m., and every member of the school is urged to be present at that time. FIRST CONGL CHURCH Corner Habersham and Taylor Sts. Rev. W. L. Cash, pastor. Sunday ser vices: 11 a. m. and S p. m. preaching; Somewhere In France—When this war is over, and peace, lasting peace, declared, and the necessitious censorship has been lifted so one may mention the names of the army units, cities and towns, the colored historian who records the history of the colored soldier in this war, will need no imaginative powers to tell of the service the daring deeds of valor, and the incomparable fighting colored men did over here in France. Verdun, No Man's Land, Chateau Thierry, Sols-sons, the Vesle, Argonne, Champagne, and all, are vast urns which contain the story of how America's black soldiers fought; how they dared, bled and died "to make the world safe democracy." Bordeaux, Brest, St. Nasair, Montoir, et. al., will forever tell a story of the big achievements of the colored stevedores who helped to make possible the victories of the fighting men at the front. The Y. M. C. A. huts scattered here and there, and in which now labor so splendidly and self sacrificing colored Y. M. C. A. workers, will bear testimony, years after they have been deserted, of the part these non combatants took in helping and buying up our boys. The story of how Crispus Attucks fell at Lexington in 1776 will be but a juvenile—a "Mother Goose" bed time story beside the story of how our boys fought, and fell, at Champagne. Fort Pillow and Milliken's Bend of the Civil war will pale beside Chateau Thierry and Argonne. The story of the Spartans at Thermopylea, and Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade," as a recitation by the amateur cloctationists, will give place to the charge of the colored soldiers from America, at Champagne. The story of our colored troops, combatants and non combatants, in this war will make every colored man and woman and child of today and tomorrow, proud of their race, and proud they were such one hundred per cent Americans as to do their bit cheerfully in this war. View it from any angle you may, locate yourself in any section of the United States you may, you will find, after this war, that the "New Day and New Duty" our friends have been prophesying for us will be present, and because of the record of valor made by colored soldiers here in France, while pushing the Hum back from Chateau Thierry into Wilhems trassa. These colored soldiers over here, now quite two hundred thousand, are proud they are here. They would not exchange the opportunity they have had for rendering service to their country for all the fabled wealth of Golconda. When German militarism has been crushed beyond restoration, and glorious peace shall have been achieved by the Allies, these colored soldiers such as survive, will be eager to return to the United States glad that they had and accepted an opportunity to serve well their country and civilization. Such as may fall on the battle field—and many will have—will beam a smile of satisfaction, before entering into eternity, that they had a glorious privilege of dying in, and for, a right cous cause to advance their race back in the states, and everywhere. Contact with the men over here confirms this statement. Knowledge of things over here makes it possible for me to declare that the pages in the history of this war will transmit to posterity no records of stoical endurance and valor more lasting than the record made by colored troops from Bordeaux to the Rhine. Sunday school, 9:45 a. m.; Christian Endeavor, 6:30 p. m. The "Every Member" drive will be launched Sunday and a specia sermon will be delivered on the subject, "The Meaning of Congregationalism."

FEATS OF FEARLESS COLORED TROOPERS ON FIRING LINE Somewhere In France—A successful raid, planned by one of the majors of the old 5th Illinois regiment, whose home is at Metropolis, Ill., was made in the Voucharn sector, and with great daring. The motor battery of the regiment first took part in laying down a barrage fire. The barrage fire be gan at 4 o'clock in the morning, just as the first rays of the sun shone slug gishly, and but dimly, behind the horizon. At the hour named, every gun ner was at his gun. The major flashed an electric signal, and within a minute or two thereafter every gun fired simultaneously, as if connected with and controlled by an electric battery. For fifteen minutes the colored gun ners kept up their fire, and then a French company was sent out behind the barrage to make the raid. So sur prising was the raid, and so quickly made, that but three of the colored soldiers were wounded, and they' but slightly, and but eight of the French, with whom they were fighting, while the Germans' casualties were eleven killed, three wounded, while the remainder were captured. Stories of the fight in the Argonne Forest, and the splendid endurance and valiant fighting of the colored soldiers continue to come in. It is reported that a company of the old Ninth Ohio battalion, under command of its colored captain from Dayton, Ohio, laid in an open field all night, awaiting orders to go into action, while all the time the Germans were gun fire into them. But even in the face of such murderous fire, the colored line stood firm as if the huge shells and murderous machine gun fire was but the discharge of toy blow guns. Among their casualties were Anderson Lee and William Chenault, of Dayton, who were killed. The firmness of the line of these khaki garbed black soldiers maintained in the face of a withering fire, a veritable hell, constitutes one more reason why the folks, the race, back home should be proud of these, their colored soldiers over here, whose unyielding spirit and bravery are making history for the race. I have learned that Hill 304, which the French so valiantly held, and which suffered such fierce bombardment from the Germans that there is not a foot of it but what is plowed up by shells, and whose sides, even today, are literally covered with the corpses of French soldiers who still lie where they fell, was later as valiantly held by the colored soldiers from the United States, who fought with all the heroism and endurance and the traditions the army has chronicled. The colored soldiers under their own captain from Dayton, Ohio, who so splendidly maintained their line in the Argonne Wood, and those who held that bloody and forever historical Hill 304, had the odds against them, but like Tennyson's importalized "Six Hundred," they fought bravely and well. "Firm in the belief 'it was not theirs to reason where. It was theirs 'to do or die,' and like the patriots they were, they did do, and this war's history will so record.

SATURDAY NOV, 30 1918 WHAT PEACE CONTEMPLATES Animosities are over, and humanities are re-begun. The cessation of war and the planning to rebuild a shattered civilization, contemplates a far more difficult task than the ordinary mind surmises. The average man is likely to conceive mere physical destruction and disorder, the burning of villages theupheaval in commerce, the appalling loss of life and the like, as the conditions most urgently in need of rehabilitation and repair. And, while these are grave as may be, we must not lose sight of the fundamental principles, upon the loftness and stability of which, the future security and peace of mankind rests. The sacred moral principles governing international and human relationships, the primordials of civilization and world morale, these must have chiefest consideration in the councils of the joint peace-makers of the world, now about to assemble in historic Versailles. The right of all nationalities and all races, however small, to self-determination; the right of every individual, living under whatever jurisdiction, to a fair field and a just competition in the struggle to achieve his highest possibility and to live his fullest and best; these, surely, must form the mental background against which all the deliberations of the peace advocates at Versailles must reckon. The great war has been fraught with such intense suffering, and with much, that most of the nations involved, and certainly the victorious ones, have been purged of all selfishness and self-sufficiency. Each feels its fraternity toward and its dependency upon the others, and all feel their interdependency, to the great and worthy end of a stable peace and a permanent enthronement of justice and equity in the earth. If this is the temper of those who have the grave and Godly appointed responsibilities of laying down the moral plan of the world, and of authorizing a code which must hereafter govern the relationships of nations, states and men, we shall be truly entering upon the great millenium wherein righteousness and justice reign, and where brotherhood is the supremest law. Surely, the peace which this memorable and wonderful assembly at Versail les will derive, will be alike unto "the peace which passeth till understanding," and which comes to a world, astray, sinning and now war ridden under the chastening of divine wrath. We even wonder if those who are to make up the great gathering sense the seriousness and sacredness of their task; we wonder if they recognize the purpose and spirit of God in it all, and His presence in every turn of battle and tender of peace? We wonder, and watch and wait. Shall we see the right of races estab lished and secured. Shall we see justice made the reigning principle in world civilization? "Shall we see "Man's inhumanity to man" pass? These, alone, are the foundation of a permanent peace, among races and nations. God grant that we may see a nulli- Grace activating all peruding all, in this supreme and severest test of Christianity and democracy! WE WAGE EARNERS BANK in we diret t the attention of read ers of the Tribune to the financial standing of the Wage Earners Savings Bank. On May 21, 1918, the total net resources a. p. o. l. by the state bank emploi er annouced to $443,559.54, a particularly gratifying figure. On November 25, 1918, six months later, the total net resources had reached the highly noteworthy figure of $506,081. 19. thus showing a net gain over the last semi-annual period of $152,521.65, or an increase of over thirty six (39) per cent. The increase in deposits during the six-months' period was $140,413.00 The increase in deposits for the past two months has been above $50,000 This, in a word, is the remarkably flourishing financial condition, which the state bank examiners found and certified upon finishing their checking up of the business of the bank this week. Under state regulation and supervision, the Wage Earners Bank continues to grow both in volume of its business and in the confidence and number of its patrons. This confidence and patronage of its clientele is based upon the conservative methods of the officers and directors of the institution as well as upon the courteous and businesslike handling of its affairs. The bank examiners upon this occasion, as upon previous ones, did not hesitate to congratulate the officers and clerical force of the bank upon the healthy state of affairs and upon the excellence of the system and method employed. These state officials were voluble in their praise of the splen did showing which was made. We call attention to the above, in no spirit of boast or vanity, but merely to encourage the rank and file of our people in their pride and desire to see these triumphs of Negro business men and institutions along the way of racial advancement. We congratulate this splendid body of still more splendid men who have been able to build an institution which has demonstrated its ability to weather the gale of competition in the financial markets of the land We congratulate our people, whose loyalty and unfailing support have made such brilliant success possible - Wayeesboro News Among the teachers that attended the Teachers Institute held at the City Public School of which Mr. Joel Goodwin is he principal were Prof. S. H. Adams, Rev. N. Watkins of Midville, Mrs. Jones of Sahdersville, Miss Julia Carpenter, Miss Nellie White and C. B. Gough. Mrs. Jones is charge of the work of the teachers Burke county. The Institute work means much mental food for the teachers to take to their several schools. Prof. S. H. Adams who has taught in the county for more than twenty years speaks of the many helpful thoughts advanced. Among some of the callers in the city this week were Mme. Heard of Augusta, looking after some business interests and Prof. W. R. Mack doing some hustling work for the Savannah Tribune. He also spoke to a large body of white and Colored citizens on the Court house square on the War Fund Drive. He made a hit. The citizens are boasting over the fact that we have been so pleasingly spared of the Spanish Influenza which has taken so many of the lives thru- out the country. Deacon Peter Weaver, one of Burk County's prosperous farmers has the district on raising the largest potatoes brought to the city. He took one to Augusta to a lady friend that came near filling a bushel measure. He compliments himself on raising these potatoes with little, but scientific labor. Well, Mr. Weaver is among the tallest men in Burke Co. Maybe, that accounts for the large potatoes. Do you hear the wedding bells, ringing? Messrs. Carpenter, Scarlet and Lynch motored to Shell Bluff in the 61st district. Had a big hunt. Bagged some quail as an introduction to the season. Messrs. D. W. Carey W. B. Blount Chas. Harris and Rev. Bennett are showing their citizenry by building nice homes. All of these homes will be christened by Christmas. In appreciation of the valued service rendered by Mrs. Jones, the teachers of Burke Co. gave her, as a token, a silver cup. Mme. Carpenter is kept busy wait ing on the ladies. Call in to see her and give her a trial. Mrs. Nora Flagg Sumner spent a few days in Atlanta, visiting her husband, Rev. Geo. Sumners. Buva System.

Stephensen, special correspondent of the National Negro Press Association. "These boys (the Negro soldiers) are the most wonderful I have ever seen. They never complain; they never say they are in pain; we ask some whom we know are suffering intensely how they are getting along: "Oh, pretty well," is the statement as is pust handed out as coming from Major John W. Moorehead, eminent surgeon of New York City, in charge of the large. Red Cross hospital, and who was treating a number of soldiers who had participated in the great drive in which the Kansas troops were a part. This is but one instance of the scores reported where our boys, knowing the flow of carnage and blood, knowing what they were facing for the folks at home, have even though in pain, even though dying, or mortally wounded, displayed courage of which even the red men of yonder days would have been proud. The report further says that Major Moorehead went to a ward where several soldiers were suffering intensely from the effects of gas and he addressed them as follows: "I got two officers who need blood. Is there any one here who will volunteer to give them some of their blood?" Before the words had died out of the major's mouth, or before he had a chance even to realize that he had said something, with one accord there came "Sure" we will give them all they want," and every man present bared arm and of fered it to the eminent surgeon for the extracting of blood. Four of the volunteers were accepted, their blood was taken and the transfusion made. It is reported that the officers will recover. On another occasion he said that a Negro with a wound in his arm came rushing into the hospital alone and said, "Gosh! my whole regiment is destroyed, only two left, me and another fellow coming along behind." That seemed to be all the excitement Mutual Life Insurance company resident JNGLE, Secy-Mgr 516 Broad Stre e Somewhere in France THE SAVANNAH TRIBUN that prevailed and it is said this same fellow was ready and willing to get back into the fray. Surely some good must come out of such courage. The sons of America are exhibiting a heroism such as is born only of true patriotism. A new day is coming not only for the people of France or of the United States, but for all mankind. Thru all the blood, thru all the shot and shell, the gates of death, men are reaching out for higher things. I know this is true for numbers of them who have been thru this earthly hell on the front line say that there they felt the power of God as never before. Let those whose loved ones have gone down in battle feel proud of the fact that they are fighting for a cause that which there is none greater, the broth erhood of man. Separate Blouses Are Given Attention New York, November 27th. One of of, most essential considerations for the selection of an attractive wardrobe is the color of the materials which which are used in its various developments. Very little, if any, thought is given by the average woman to the color which most suits her particular style of looks and complexion. It does make a big difference if the right color is chosen. The entire effect of a frock or any garment is lost, irrespective of its grace, if of the wrong color. It is therefore quite necessary that a moderate amount of thought be given to the shade of the garment if the thing is to be a success. Smart Top Coat It is with this purpose in view that art association has been formed which, with the cooperation of the manufacturers and designers of this country, intends to standardize the color chart to be used by the trade. Previous to this time, in fact at the present time, if one goes to one shop and asks for a certain shade and then into another and asks for the same shade, the result is that each shop offers an entire by different color. If the colors were standardized this would be avoided and much confusion concerning colors would be eliminated. The cooperation of all American women is asked in this movement and I'm sure it will be readily given. Fringe Passes Out For a long time fringe was the most sought after trimming that could be found. But like all things that have enjoyed a supreme popularity it must abdicate in favor of some newer things such as jet and wool embroideries. One quite effective but a little extreme afternoon frock which one of the importers is showing is of henna colored duvetyn in one piece effect and bright, very bright wool embroidery at the lower edge of the skirt, at the edge of he flowing sleeves, and around the collarless neck. Another whispered hint of the passing is the gradual disappearance of or rather the gradual decrease in sales of the short fur coatces. These have been very popular all summer and have been ultra smart for the fall with a one piece dress. But women are fickle, and now as the winter sets Amusements DECEMBER 9th, Monday—Dance at Harris Street hall by the Friendly Brothers' Social Club, admission 20 cts. DECEMBER 2nd.

SATURDAY NOV. 30 1918 Duvetyn Favored for Hats More and more has the millinery trade been using cloth, such as broad cloth and duvetyn, for hats. And now one of the most desirable and smartest hats is developed in duvetyn. When this material is used, the shape is invariably small as the material lends itself more readily to draping over a turban. Fur and flowers! And indeed this makes a remarkably pretty combination. The sales of hats of this combination have been tremendous. They seem to appeal to the most discerning taste. The flowers bring out all that is soft and beautiful in the fur and render it silky and likable to look at. Just think of a modest little squirrel tam with a still more modest flower perched quietly on the small brim. Vests Are Still Popular These attractive things may be developed in such a variety of ways that they have justified their retainment for the new winter frocks. Individuality may be expressed so easily in them that they give that personal look which we are all eager to accomplish. MCCALL Tucked Vest the Feature Illustrated here is an excellent example of a unique vest. The tucks give it a distinctive air and the tie over sash adds to this distinction. The top coat illustrated is one of the newest and smartest models for late winer season. The collar, cuffs and pockets are constructed of contrasting materials, which give a novel effect. The collar may be worn open or in the high military effect as shown here. Fur could be readily substituted for the contrasting material.

Office, Division Ordnance Officer, 92nd. Division. I have been asked to write a short article on the work and progress of the 92nd. Division. It affords me very great pleasure to do so, even the my career with the division has been very short. Shortly after the division was organized, I became interested in the welfare of same, and was anxious for all that was within me to make it a success. I have been with he division for a little over nine months, serving in the office of the division ordnance officer as his confidential secretary. After training in the United States for four months with the division, it was then ordered for overseas duty. Taking advantage of this opportunity, for I certainly count it a privilege, to render service abroad. I came, and, leaving modesty out, please allow me to say, that I have the honor of being the first sergeant of the division to land in France. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN IS SHOWING A NEW STYLE OF COAT. Since the arrival of the division over seas, I have observed very carefully the actions of the men who make up the division. On all of their marches, and in all times of recreation, have they conducted themselves as men. We have been serving in France now about five months, and even though conditions have not always been favorable for us, we have made good, and are continuing to do so. Our men have been and are cour angeous on the battle line at the present time, in the very presence of the enemy and not once have they flinched or drawn back when under fire. We have willingly joined in with our comrades over here. In helping to main tain liberty and human rights for the world. I am glad to say that we held our own in every part of France that the division has been, under its courageous leader, Major General G. C. Ballou. The morale of our men is getting higher each day, our boys are becoming better men, realizing all the time, that they cannot be good soldiers if they continue to dissipate and violate the laws of right and health. On many occasions, has our division been highly commended for the masterly way in which the men have deported themselves, both in reserve and in action. On the whole, our division has suffered few casualties, due only to the skillful haudling of the arms placed in charge of the men, and not because they have not been subjected to dangerous positions before the enemy. Skilled maneuvers and the perfection of signals have aided greatly in decreasing our casualties. In the 92nd. division we have officers and men who are of the very best type of the Colored Race, who, from all parts of the country, willingly responded to their country's call. Their records may be traced back as far as you please. Our officers are courageously leading their men forward, day by day, never faltering, however hard their fusks, and their tasks have been hazardous at times, but with firm determination, and long perseverance, we are ever pressing onward. In all the battles in which our division has been engaged our men have, each and every one of them, given good accounts of themselves not only in helping to check the arrogance of the enemy, but in stances have our officers and men been given honorable mention in general orders from the headquarters, for dis playing pluck and valor, in actual war fare in the presence of the enemy. I am glad to extend to the public, greetings from the boys of Savannah who are serving in this division, and to say for them that they are maintain ing the standard set by their predeces sors. The above is just a synopsis of what our division is doing overseas, and if the good editor of this most worthy paper, The Savannah Tribune, could spare me more space, I could relate many more things that would perhaps be interesting. We feel that we have the cooperation of all the citizens with us, and with this assurance, nothing but success can be ours. Annual Conference Closed Sunday—From Page Green; Summitt, J. F. H.
