Washington, D. O., December 20 “The success that has attended the la ‘dors of Emmett J. Scott, as special as sistant to the secretary of war, is one of the outstanding features of the par ticipation of the colored American in the war which is now approaching a triumphant close, with democracy well assured for many of the oppressed peo ‘Piles of the world. Ar! Scott has just finished the test year of his very satisfactory adminis tration of the great trust reposed ia him as the official representative of the 12,000,000 colored citizens of the: republic. It is conceded upon all sides, and by both races, that the prac. tical results achieved by Mfr. Scott in hig particular and trying field, and the intricate problems he has met and so intelligently mastered, amply justify the sceretary of war ‘s decision to cre ate the office. AIL question as to the tenure of Mr. Scott in his office as special assistant Yin the war department is effectively set at rest by a recent letter, written to Mr. Scott by the Hon. Newton D, Baker, secretary of war, who makes plain his appreciation of the fine ser vices rendered by Mr. Scott during the months that he has been at his side as a helper in the solution of some of the knottiest problems that the war de- partment has been called upon to face. In the communication referred to »Secretary Baker expressed hope that it will be possible for Mr. Scott to con tinue his work in the war department sugh the period of demobilization of the troops. The secretary of war of us are just as numerous and perplex ing ag those that have been dealt with during the past year, and indicated that it would be most helpful to all concerned if he could have Mr. Scott's continued counsel ang advice in connec tion with the important questions that are bound to arise in the a@justment ef the issues of the future. A further testimonial of the worth and far reaching effect of the work that has been carried on by the special assistant comes from Mr. George ' Greel, chairman of the committee on public information, in conjunction with whom Mr, Scott has kept the coustry fally informed as te the activities of tre colored people in the countless agencies that have been engsged'in the winning of the war. Mr. Creel's let tor, which explains itself. is here siv ea: “Washington, D. 0., Nov. 27, 1915. “Mr. Bmmett J. Scott, Special Assistant Secretary ef Wart “My dear Mr. Scott: “Before completing the work af the committee on public information, 1 wish to write you 2 vety sincere letter ef thinks for your very real contrilm tion to the cause of national unity ‘As special assistant to the secretary of war, with specific duty to maintain the morale of the colored population of the United States, you have discharg ed a delicate task with discretion, Mie very highest intelligence, and the very greatest devotion to your peeple and to your country: “T can truthfully say that the 1 mittee ‘cn publie information, in “I~ | fight fer uyity, has Teen helped it. -measnrably by you.

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 ailments, 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.

Forces BAPTIST CONVENTIONS CANNOT COME TO PEACE TERMS which effected the Publishing Board, a copy of which was given to each commission, who assembled forthwith in separate rooms to consider the same. In a few words, Chairman Woods, of the unincorporated commission announced that they had voted "No" on the proposition submitted by Dr. Mullins, Chairman Fuller of the incorporated body reporting that they had voted "Yes" on the Mullins' proposition for reunion. As there was no agreement by the two commissions on the proposition the matter was discussed until late in the night. Dr. Gambrell asked permission to retire on account of the lateness of the hour, his place as chair man being filled by Dr. Allen Fort (white) of the First Baptist church. The latter allowed the discussion to continue until it was finally discovered that the incorporated commission had repudiated the report of the subcommittee and would accept nothing as a basis of peace and reunion that left out a legal guarantee that the Publishing Board would be bound by their decision. A motion was offered to adjourn, and at eleven o'clock at night the joint commission adjourned sine die, Dr. Morris calling his commissioners to meet Friday morning and Dr. Jones calling his commissioners to meet the same morning for the purpose of putting on a $25,000 campaign for the National Baptist Theological Seminary which is located in Nashville, Tenn. Assembling at 9 A. M. at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, devotionals having being conducted by Rev. William Johnson, the commissioners of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, were elated, and using the language of Dr. H. C. Clark, "This to me is an inspiring and happy hour. My heart is filled with joy as I think of the splendid victory and achievements that have come to our denomination thru de vine of the spirit." Expressions similar were made by Revs. J. F. Thomas, of Chiegao, Ill., O. R. Harper, President E. P. Jones, Rev. G. C. Caldwell, and Dr. J. W. Hurse. The meeting then adjourned to meet in the Chapel at the Publishing House. The committee met at the Chapel, a great host and throng elated and jubilant over the fact that a rejection of the peace terms as well as union had been done by the brethren of the incorporated convention and because nothing remains now but to promote every interest of the unincorporated convention. Dr. J. L. Harding, President of the Tennessee Convention, spoke enthusiastic. Hearty cheers followed his remarks. He pledged $3,000 from Tenn. at Norfolk. The commissioners adjourned after the appointment of a committee to prepare their report for presentation to the convention, which convenes at Norfolk, Va., in Sept., 1919. Rev. J., H Woods, Ky.; L.

AUTOMOBILE AND TRACTOR SCHOOL FOR NASHVILLE Nashville, Tenn.—Enterprising citizens of this city have arranged for the opening of an automobile and tractor school that will serve the entire country. There is to be in connection with this school an instruction department for colored. It will operate under a state charter and will have as its purpose the offering to the colored men a thorough, practical training in the repair, care and operation of automobiles and tractors. In addition to the school proper, testing grounds are being prepared for use that a practical training in the operation of the tractor and automobile may be had by the student body. There will also be a tractor shop training department. The promoters declare that the tuition of the school will be moderate and in the students' self help department the student may obtain a position during the day so that he can take up the evening classes of instruction. Thus he can earn wages while learning his profession. The school is about ready for enrollment of students for a short eight weeks' course and a diploma is issued upon the completion of the same. A deal of printed matter giving full information of the school is ready to be sent out.

Saturday Dec, 28 1918 THE NEW YEAR The New Year will have been ushered into being before our next issue, and the year 1918,* with all its great round of wonderful events, will be but a matter of history. The old year brought us to the close of the great, bloody war; brought us peace again with the return to normal conditions and occupations. It saw the beginning of the return of thousands of the soldier boys who had gone away in the fortunes of war. It wit nessed the first parleys on the new ideals of democracy which the world has long sought and fought to establish in the earth. In many respects, it has been a wonderful year of inspiration, in the discovery of great men, in the making of heroes and in great achievements for civilization and Christianity. The new year opens up with glowing prospects to be the greatest in all the history of the year. We expect to see the best brain and character of the world brought to bear upon the great problems of permanent peace, for the protection and defense of the weaker nations and peoples, and to interpret in true Christian spirit, the ideals for democracy for all men. The world watches and waits—the weak and the strong, alike, as the great assembly of Versailles shall reckon and determine the problem of the ages. Let us go forward in the new year. with a mind open to the proposition that there is a great deal of good in the world, after all, and that all men are our brethren. A CALL TO DUTY "Thousand of our boys have done their duty 'overhere—we wonder if you are doing your duty overthere?' These lines have come in one of the many interesting letters to the Tribune from our boys in the battle area, and are significant of their own anticipation and anxiety regarding affairs at home. These men naturally will feel more keenly than the rest of us here any failure of democracy on Ameri shores. Having faced the privation and fire of battle, they expect a man's chance in the land they have fought to defend and preserve. What is our part? Have we not made countless sacrifices of campaigning, contribution and self-denial, as becomes loyal patriots? Have not all the men, the women and even the little children, who remained at home responded to the call of the nation to their uttermost? And are we not all willing to continue the work Reading between the lines of the lett. believe that the writer is careful in our part. with the duties coor.

Have they and have we not deserved this freedom, these rights, before war, at the hands of our government? Have we not clamored for half a century for a grasp of these things? Have they not to this day, been denied us by artifice, circumvention, subfertige and the like? There is a thought however, to make another strong effort, to win these things. We are not denied the right to register. Registration is a necessary qualification for exercising the right to vote. And we are not registered, hence to some extent at least we are contributing to our own disfranchisement. Respectfully submitted, E. A. Quinney Helen M. Ellis Rebecca Stiles Taylor L. E. Hendrickson M. M. Daniels B. D. Williams A. R. Holmes D. V. Stoney C. H. Dingle J. H. Patterson JACKSONVILLE, FLA., NEWS Mr. Ellis Washington returned from Chicago, Ill., last week. Mrs. G.-W. Gardner left last Tues for Pensacola where she will spend the holidays with relatives. Miss Lydia Cutton, one of the teachers in Peck's High school, Fernandina, arrived home Monday to spend the holidays with her relatives. Most every man nowadays can qualify, even in states employing subter fuges, under some one or other of the various tests. Let's register, everywhere, to a large extent, and here in Chatham county let's put eight or ten thousand men on the registration book; and then let's turn to studying civil and political questions and the laws and rules governing voting and other governmental functions. Then, let's watch the effect of these things on our communities, meantime, employing every agency of moral suasion and law to secure these rights where they are denied us. New Work City—Mr. Abraham L. Johnson of No. 66 West 134th Street, passed into eternal life at his residence, about 10:30 Friday evening, December 13.

SATURDAY DEC. 27TH. 1918 Among the most attractive features of Masonry, aside from its ethical and moral principles, is its secrecy. This feature, while condemned by the enemies of Masonry, is to be highly commended. There is nothing so conducive to the happiness of family life, as proper secrecy within the home. There are many matters that occur in the sacredness of domestic life, with which the world has no concern, and which it would be unwise and almost sacrilegious to expose eo the prying and curious gaze of outsiders. And so in Masonry. The lodge is but a large family. Many matters are discussed which should never be told outside the tiled recesses of the lodge room. Harm, and no good, would result Let us not be misunderstood. We should 'and would do nothing wrong or criminal in the home or in the lodge room. We would not lend ourselves to any net that would bring evil upon ourselves or any human being in the family circle, or in the Masonic hall. We refer only to those things which are harmless in themselves, but which if bruited about, if exaggerated by the tongue of slander, if pounced upon by the backbiter, would result in evil, and evil only. Let us do our good works in secret, let us perform our charity in secret, let our left hand not know what our right hand doeth, and our Father which is in Heaven will surely grant us our reward.—Selected. Stop backbiting your brother. With all his faults, he may be a better man and Mason than you are. A Masonic "peace society" is an anomoly. Every Masonic lodge is a peace society. The principles of Masonry are eternal. A Sugegstion. Brother, Someday after a good, hearty lunch with your family, all of whom are well and happy, and you start down to your office a bit inclined to be chesty because of the square and compass, crown and cross. Double headed eagle, or star and crescent which declares from the lapel of your coat or from your watch charm that you are a Mason, just stop and glance at yourself in the first reflection win dow pane or mirror you come across. First notice your emblem as therein reflected, then look yourself in the eye and say to yourself: Hiram, old chap, what special act of kindness have you ever done since being raised to the sublime degree that justifies you in wearing that beautiful and universal respected emblem? Take a long look at youself, and it is our venture that you won't continue your journey so proudly conscious of your "legal right" to wear them. The fact that you have voiced the sentiments of Masonry from an exalted position in the order, won't satisfy you. Our beau tiful service for the dead does not bring back the brother from the bosom of Abraham to that of his family. Brother Hiram, square yourself with your conscience, and do something practical for your fellow men. It will place a halo around your emblem that will outshine the most precious stones, and be reflected in your countenance in a way that will verify the estimate of character which your emblem has caused the public to place upon you. Do it today, brother. You will rest better tonight. Two hundred thous and Americans die of tuberculosis each year. Many of them are Masons and all are brothers, lots of them destitute.—The White Cross of Masonry. English Masonic Charities We cannot have a better illustration of the practical side of Masonic Relief than the three great Charitable Institutions of the Order; Institutions that are affording help of an eminently practical nature to a vast army of beneficiaries—Aged Masons and Widows, Girls and Boys—a total of 2,340 in all, 1,250 old people receiving aid from the Benevolent Institution, 550 lads being provided for by the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys, and 534 girls by the sister Charity. All this work is continuous, and thanks to the liberality of the fraternity, it is possible to frequently increase it.—Freemasons' Chronicle. Secrets of: Masonry Should Be' Secrets Masons will render their order more august in the estimation of men by refraining from garrulousness. What ever occurs in the lodge room is generally secret and ought never to be proferred by careless talk on the outside is not the Titer. With drawn sword guarding the portals of our masonic temple a perpetual symbol of the sacred need and scarcity of our retreat? A round our council chamber a wail is built, which no wanton eye can pierce. The entrance to our mysteries is sealed, except to those choice spirits who are ever willing to come humbly, and faithfully promise to be secret and silent. There have been instances in which the secrets of great discoveries have been so rigidly guarded that, for a season, the most curious eye was defeated in its efforts to pry into the shop or laboratories where the process of manufacture was executed. More secret is the work of Masonry than all this, and more sacred the obligation of its craftsmen than the craft of artisans engaged in such manufacture as we have intimated. As our doors are tiled so let our lips be guarded. The slightest incidents of the lodge room are secret. The brother who does not so regard them as such has not yet learned Masonry. We can positively allow no license in this direction.—Masonic Journal. MME.

Dear Father, This being "Father's Day," all the boys "Over here" will write to their fathers "Over there." I shall first inquire about your health, hoping that you are as well as I am. I am as fit as a fighting cock. The army life agrees with me fine. How is business, and how are you getting along with your laboratory work? Whom have you to assist you now? How is the lodge getting along? I hope to be back in time to run for C. C., or in time for the Grand Lodge. How does that sound? Not like I'm worrying, does it?
