Negro Leaders Appeal For Armenian Sufferers
ADOLPHUS LEWIS WILL HAVE
CHARGE OF CAMPAIGN
Representative Colored Men Met In
Nashville Last month to Discuss
Planr for Raising Money
New York, Jan. 6th—Representative colored men from various parts of the country gathered in Nashville, Tenn., December 13th, in response to the invitation of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, to consider plans by which the Negroes of the United States may cooperate as a unit with the thirty million dollar drive for the starving Armenians and Syrians. After due considerations, plans were brought to them by Mr. Adolphus Lew is, the director of this work among colored people, the following appeal was unanimously adopted, and is here now being sent out. The appeal follows:
To the Colored People of the United States
At the instance of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief composed of some of the foremost statesmen, educators, religious leaders and social workers, we, the under signed, were called in conference to Nashville, Tenn., on the 13th of December, 1918, by Mr. Adolphus Lewis, of Philadelphia, the executive secretary for conventions of colored men of the Laymen's Missionary Movement of the United States and Canada, to consider how best the race could lend its support to the effort to raise thirty million dollars in January for the suffering and starving Armenians and Syrians. At this conference the needs of these people were brought before us in the most vivid manner and our sympa thies are thoroughly aroused.
The campaign of preparation for this drive is being rapidly organized and will be pushed throughout the country among all races. In order that the race may be adequately in formed as well as given full credit for its contribution to this effort, following the group idea, a colored division has been incorporated and Adolphus Lewis has been loaned by the Laymen's Missionary Movement to serve as director for this division. This is not merely a high personal compliment, but it is first of all a signal recognition of the executive ability and leadership of the race.
During the war period just closing, no people have suffered more than the Armenians and Syrians. Many of these men, women and children have been deported and exiled by order of the Turkish government, under the most brutal and horrible conditions. Thousands of them are miles away from home in the wilderness, in a homeless, friendless, penniless condition and will die of privation and starvation during this winter unless we give them relief. So great are the needs of these people, that the President of teh United States, having made two former appeals in their behalf felt constrained to issue a third proclamation for this end. We here in give an extract of the same:
"It is estimated that about 4,000,000 Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other war sufferers in the Far East will require outside help to sustain them through the winter. Many of them are now hundreds of miles from their homeland. The vast majority of them are helpless women and children, including 400,000 orphans. The American Committee for Relief in the Near East is appealing for a minimum of $30,000,000 to be subscribed January 12-19, 1919, with which to meet the most urgent needs of these people.
"I, therefore, again call upon the peo ple of the United States to make even more generous contributions than, they have made heretofore to sustain thru the winter months those, who, through no fault of their own, have deen left in a starring, shelterless condition, and to help reestablish these ancient and sorely oppressed people in their form et homes on a self supporting basis." (Signed) Woodrow Wilson.
To be called upon to take part in this philanthropic movement is an ope portunity that should be eagerly seized by all lovers of humanity and especially by people who have suffered as we have. Others have come to our relief and we cannot better show our gratitude than by coming to the relief of others. 'Freely Ye have received,

EX-PRESIDENT THEODORE MONDAY MORNING EARLY.
The Folk Song Festival which was given at the Municipal Auditorium Monday night was a very pleasing affair, and was attended by about fifteen hundred persons. The choruses, which were directed by Madam E. Azalla Hackley, were good, and several of them received encores. The soloists all acquitted themselves well, and the entire program was real good. The festival was given under the auspices of the Parent-Teachers' Ass'n. of the Guyler Street School. In the midst of the program, a purse was presented to Madam Hackley in recognition of the work she has done here. She left Thursday for Miami, Fla., where she will present a similar program to the one present here.
The following is me program (Continued on page seven)
In this effort there is to be no separate organization. But as in the recent United War Work Drive, the work will be a part of the regular local committees with colored men directing it. As far as possible and practical the same methods on organization that were used in that drive, will be used in this.
In view of these things, we recommend that our race contribute at least two hundred and fifty thousand dollars as its quota of the sum needed. To this end we appeal to bishops, pastors, churches and Sunday schools, secret orders, women's clubs and federations, men's clubs and organizations to cooperate in the great drive which occurs throughout the nation on January 12th to the 19th, 1919.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY JAN.. 11th, 1919..
One of the most interesting weddings of recent date was that of Miss Harriet H. Parkhurst and Mr. Samuel J. Brown, which was solemnized on December 26th, at the home of the bride's mother, 2503 Harden street, by Rev. W. L. Cash, assisted by Rev. J. A. Richle.
The house was very tastefully decorated for the occasion. Preceding the wedding march, which was played by Miss Rosa Mae Williams, accompanied by Miss Lucille Spencer with the violin, solos were rendered by Misses Lottie Cargile and Cornelia Richle.
The bride, who is the third daughter of Mrs. Ella Parkhurst wore her sister's wedding dress of liberty satin, trimmed in beaded lace and pearls, her vell of tulle was artistically and beautifully arranged with orange blossoms. She is an alumnus of Clark University, and for the past two years has been teaching in the Chatham county school system.
Her pleasing and amiable disposition as greatly endeared her to her friends, who are loud in their admiration of her
The maid of honor, Miss Edith Crog man of Atlanta, was lovely in her dress of pink satin, trimmed in a bodice of all ver lace and tulle.
The groom has for a number of years been employed in the U. S. mall service, first as malling clerk, then as letter carrier. By his sterling qualities and even manner, he has won the praise, and respect of all who know him.
Mr. Jos. B. Parker acted as best man.
The marriage was witnessed by the family and only a very few friends. The guests were invited to the reception which was to have been held at the Savannah Home Association auditorium immediately after the ceremony, but had to be postponed on account of the influenza ban.
It was held, however, on Jan. 3rd, and was enjoyed to the utmost by all present.
In dancing to their heart's content, the sweet strains of the music adding greatly to the joy of the occasion.
An entire change of program will be presented at the Pekin theater next week. Among the features will be Eastern and Eastern, Owens and Owens and the three musical Camphells. The show next week will be one of the best this popular house has land for some time and it is probable that a record attendance will be on hand throughout the week.
KILLED BY UNKNOWN PARTY
Ogeechee, Ga.-Mr. Shelly W. Nunnaly, one of the best known residents of this vicinity, was instantly killed while eating supper on last Sunday night. The shooting occurred from the outside, and the party who committed the crime is unknown. The killing caused quite an excitement as no motive for the act can be ascertained. Mr. Nunnaly was a member of Micah lodge of Masons.

The Colored War Work Council of One Hundred will hold its final meeting at the Red Cross headquarters, January 15th, at 8 p.m. All members and zone workers will come to make their final report and hear the reports of the secretary and treasurer.
Mrs. Irene Johnson of Moultrie spent the holidays in the city with relatives. Rev. R. V. Branch has returned from Macon where he attended a meeting of the state committee of the A. M. E. Church.
The scores of valuable presents received attest very materially the esteem in which the couple is held.
They are making their home at 516 Anderson St., East, where they are cosly domiciled.
Head Cut Off By Elevator Weight
MP. GUS PURCHASE INSTANTLY KILLED AT EPSTEIN STORE
Was Repairing Elevator Wires When Accident Occurred-Body on Third Floor; Head Picked up in Cellar
Mr. Augustus Purchase, of 2109 Florence street, was instantly killed Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock while repairing some electric wires on the elevator at Epstein and Bros. Company, Bay and Jefferson streets by the elevator weight.
The accident occurred on the third floor of the building, where he was working, and when he was reached by other employees of the company it was found that he had been decapitated.
Mr. Purchase, while making the repairs, was lying on the trap door in order to reach the bell cord, which was several feet below the floor. While in this position, the elevator was started from the ground floor and as it wended its way upward the weights came down the shaft, striking the man and completely severing his head from the body, the head falling from the third floor into the elevator shaft cellar. While no one actually saw the accident when it occurred, the men who were riding on the elevator at the time, were attracted by the pour of blood that flowed down the shaft. Upon investigation, the body was found on the third floor and at the same time the head was discovered lying in the cellar by Mr. Charlie Harris, one of the porters. Quite an excitement ranged in the neighborhood at the time of the accident and the entire establishment was in an uproar for sometime after wards. It was a most gruesome and horrifying accident and one which completely unnerved every person in the store.
The dead man had been in the employ of the Epstein firm for the past five years and was considered a reliable man. He was 47 years old and well known in this city where he lived practically all of his life. He was born in Bluffton, S. C., He was a member of the First Bryan Baptist church and the G. E. Club. The funeral will be held tomorrow, Sunday, afternoon from the residence. The un fortunate man is survived by a wife, Mrs. Carrie Purchase, nine children and two sisters.
MADAM E. AZALIA HACKLEY
ENTERTAINED
Realizing the excellent work which Madam E. Azalia Hackley has done in this community, during her stay of about two months, some members of the chorus, and others, on Tuesday evening, Jan. 7, gave her a genuine surprise, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Ayers, the party entered the house singing, one of Madam Hackley's favorite folk songs, "There's a Meeting Here Tonight." Madam Hackley was truly surprised, but in her charming and loving manner, which has endeared her to every member of the chorus, she gave them a royal welcome, in which Mr. and Mrs. Ayers joined heartily.
After a few moments spent in a heart to heart talk with Madam Hackley, there were choruses by the St. Cecella Club, nearly all of whom were members of Madam Hackley's chorus, beautiful violin solos by Mr. W. S. Peyton, a violin and piano solo by Mr. W. S. Peyton and Misses Alice and Helen Ellis, and a recitation by Mrs. A. E. Orner.
After the program, dainty refreshments were served by the committee.
The committee then presented Mme. Hackley with a box of stationery, a box of Huyler's candy and a small sum of money.
On Wednesday afternoon Madam Hackley was entertained at a luncheon given by the Domestic Science Department of the Cuyler St. School, Miss Edith Crogman, teacher, being hostess. Those present besides Madam Hackley and Miss Crogman were: Meddames W. J. Ayers, G. S. Williams, T. J. Goodall, A. Brown, J. W. Hubert, M. Palge and Miss Alice Ellis. Madam Hackley left Thursday for Miami, Fla., to continue her work.
WARD-McGILLERY
Mrs. Amelia Ward and Mr. Samuel McGillery were quietly married on Thursday night at the parsonage of Rev. T. J. Goodall. They will reside at the residence of the bride, 923 West 40th street.
NUMBER 17....
Troops of 92nd Division Win Decorations of Honor
ENTIRE UNIT AND INDIVIDUALS
CITED FOR BRAVERY IN BATTLE
Casual List Is Comparatively Small.
Only 1476 Taking the Long Trail
With American Army in France, Marbach, December 8th—By Command of Gen. Martin, commanding the 92nd Division, General Orders have just been issued, commending a number of Colored officers, non-comissioned officers and privates of the 365th Infantry for meritorious, brave conduct in action at Bois Frechau, near Pont-a-Moussou, November 19 and 11, during the drive on Metz, and those named in this General Order were Capt. John H. Allen, First Lieuts. Leona F. Stewart, Frank L. Myre, Walter Lyons, David W. Harris, Benj. Ford, Second Lieuts. George L. Gaines, and Russell C. Atkins, Sergeants Richard W. White, John Simpson, Robert Townsend, Solomon D. Colston, Ransom Elliott, and Chas. Jackson, Corporals Thomas B. Coleman, Albert Taylor, Chas. Reed, and James Conley. Privates Earl Swanson, Jesse Cole, James Hill, Charles White and George Chaney.
In the same general orders the following were cited for bravery in action: Sergt. Isaac Hill, bravery dis played at Frapelle; First Lieut. John Q. Lindsay, for bravery at Lesseux, both of the 366th Infantry; and First Lieut. Edward Bates of the 368th Ambulance Corps, and Sergt. Walter L. Gross of the 366th Infantry, for dis tinguished service near Hominville.
In another general order Second Lieut. Nathan O. Goodloe, of the 368th machine gun company, was commended for excellent work and meritorious conduct. During the operations in the Foret D'Argonne Lieut. Goodloe was at tached to the 3rd battalion. During the course of the action it became necessary to reorganize the battalion and withdraw a part of it to a secondary position. He carried out the movement under a continual machine gun fire from the enemy. General Martin said: Lieut. Goodloe's calm courage set an example that inspired confidence in his men." General Martin, the new commander of the 92nd division, also cited, for meritorious conduct near Wienne le Chateau, Tom Brown, a vaguer, coolness and devotion to duty under fire. Brown handled his wagon, even after his horse had been hurled into a ditch by shells and despite his own painful wounds, worked until he had extricated his horses from the ditch, refusing to quit until he had completed his work, even though covered with blood, from a painful wound.
Entire Unit Cited for Bravery
The entire battalion of the 367th (Buffaloes) Infantry has just been cited for bravery, and awarded the Criox de Guerre, thus entitling officer and man in the battalion to wear this distinguished French decoration. This citation was made by the French commission because of the splendid service and bravery shown by this battalion in the last engagement of the war, Sunday and Monday, November 10th and 11th, in the drive to Meta. This battalion went into action through a valley commanded by the heavy German guns of Meta, and held the Germans at bay while the 56th regiment retreated, but not until it had suffered a heavy loss. The last battalion was commanded by Major Charles Appleton, of New York, with company commanders and lieutenants colored.
In the 92nd. Division, of the Amster can army, 14 colored officers and 48 colored enlisted men have been cited for bravery in action and awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. This is a splendid showing, and especially when it is considered that prior to the drive on Meta, Sunday morning, November 10th, this division with the exception of the 368th. Infantry, had been in as big engagement. Up until November 10th, with the exception of the 368th, which got into action in the Argonne front the 92nd, had to content itself with making daily and nightly raids, on German front line trenches to capture prisoners. This, however, required daring and courage, and, in some ways, was more trying and more dangerous than being in a big engagement. A total of 67 citations for meritorious service, with the report from one brigade not yet in, is a splendid showing for the 92nd. Division.

Lieut. Chas, G. Beld
Dad, to go over the top is one sensa
tion which can only be realized by
the man who goes over. Here is how
we went thru it: Under cover of a
heavy mist in the é¢arly morning we
got into position, about 800 or 900
yards in front of the aforesaid woods,
and waited for our artillery to start
‘op. At 7200 it began to hammer the
woods, and we started forward. As
we got to the enemy’s advance posts
we threw a hand grenade or so in the
}]ugout and passed on to the next. By
‘the time we had reached the edge of
the woods the news had gotten to the
enemy artillery that something was
going on up.front. Immediately they
started a little fury and proceeded to
pepper us with their shells. They sure
ly returned the compliments, for we
could go no further but had to get in
a ditch near the edge of the woods and
svait until there was a lull in the shel
ling. A bunch of us crept forward
and cut the wires sufficiently enough
to get through, Then when the
enemy gceased firing for a while we
pushed on a little further, but had to
stop once more because the Boche had
again begun te fire away at us, This
time we had to Me in e@ small ditch
until about 11:30 that day. When
there was another Jull we hurried for
‘ward and got into an old trench from
which the Boche had fled. Here we
‘dug in and proceeded to make our-
gelves at home and awaited the re
‘turn of the Germans. They did not
show up, but the shelling continued
all day and at night this was augment
ed by gas shells which fell the entire
night, Luckily they misjudged our
position and threw the gas bebind us.
I think they did this also to catch us
in case we retreated, but they had rot
seen our orders which were to hoid
all captured ground, At any rate, we
spent a delightful night listening to
the music of the shells as they whizzed
by us. We got cold alightly but the
next day the most of us were ready
for the next event. The enemy sent
e} few machine guns to fester us but
by erops we went out and either kil
led, captured or chased the gunners
away and brought the guns in. We
had reached our obective so we sat
there and awaited further, orders.
About 11:00 a. m. orders carje for us
to cease fire. At 11:45, oh’ well, you
can imagine just how we felt, but just
at that time a machine gun team from
our side was out looking up a German
machine gun which had been giving
us much trouble all the morning. Of
course before we could get word to
them they had located the Bermensin
a tree, and they at once “pulled loose
on the Germans and got them oma
how, well, they came in and found that
es or the armistice had been sign
|, and we were to quit fighting at
11:45. At the designated hour, the
Germans blew to their soldiers, 1
don't believe I have ever.heard a bugle
sounded so joyful in all my life. The
Germans “were happler- than we, for
they gave 2 wild whoop and a yell, and
from hidden dugouts and caves they
came swarming and shaking hand:
with the American soldiers, A bunch
of them came out in the opening and
gave a wild war dance, or rather peace
dance, They had a great time of it
all day.
During the attack we Killed several!
of them, took some prisoners while
others got away with wounds and still
others, more lucky, got away with up
deserved whole skins. Several of ow
béys were wounded or killed, but our
losses were slight. 7
We are now in a big city just behind
our line, Before the war this place
‘is said to have had about 25,000 or
80,000 inliabitants. The Germant
came in however and drove them all
out, except four or five thousand.
The town is very beautiful, or I better
say was very beautiful. Large anc
beautiful chateaus, two fine churches
schools and, in fact, a typical French
city. A river runs through the town
and on one bank there is a school fo
boys, while across on the other, £
school for girls, The Germans have
shelled the town, however, till much of
its beauty has been defaced. Largt
homes now stand with walls crushed
in or have shell holes in the roof. It
churches have been battered by shell
fir while the school buildings have
been all ransacked and the furniture
and books scattered: ‘The Germans
held the town about five days and they
left their mark of hate when they re
treated. When we first came here
it was ‘a common thing to hear the
shells falling in the river as they
try to destroy the bridge, or to heat
a shell burst in the streets or on a
rouse. We had to sleep in the ce!
lars and dugouts, and to have a light
on the streets was not to be thonrght
of. I shall tell you more in my next
letter which will be very soon. Love
to all of the folks.

NEGRO PEACE DELEGATES
The discussion regarding Negro delegates to Versailles, now going the rounds of the newspapers, has served to put the status of those now being elected by various organizations thrust out the country in very clear light, both as to the possible influence they may exert and the recognition they may receive from the accredited representatives of the several great nations to be represented there.
Out of all this discussion has come the following, which appears to be a logical and fair resume of the situation:
1. Such delegates will have no hearing, because, as the Atlanta 'Independent aptly puts it, "Their grievances is domestic and national, and an international court or assembly will be without jurisdiction." This body is to deal with international affairs only.
2. It would be disrespectful to America to have outsiders treat with either than her accredited delegates on any matter.
3. It will embarrass our own representatives in impressing upon other delegates and the assembly that we are divided at home, or that we mis take the nature and scope of the conference.
4. It reminds us that we have not quashed our remedies for redressing our wrongs here at home—a very common principle of law.
5. It will prejudice our case at home if an attempt is made and such delegates fail to get a hearing before the conference.
6. That these selections are not representative of the race any way, having been selected in very narrow circles and not having been selected by any nation wide organization.
7. That after all such persons can be little more than "Lobbyists," as some one has said, and very poor ones at that, because of their little acquaintance with the routine, purpose, vision and tendency of the conference; and with the peoples, policies and language as there.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
In view of the great international questions, so soon to be brought in issue, as well as his unusual grasp of them, the passing of Theodore Roosevelt was untimely, most inopportune at this period.
Mr. Roosevelt had applied himself with untiring and undaunted zeal to all the international issues growing out of the great war, and although technically a private citizen, his opinion as set forth in his public address and his writings were taken to represent foremost American thought, in these lines.
It was President Roosevelt who first projected American influence be yond our shores, and caused America to think and to act in contemplation of the other great nations with whom she was competing. It was he who first caused the other nations to reali that America was henceforth a power to reckoned with.
Mr. Roosevelt was a fighter, first, last and always. He was willing to stand by what he believed to be right to the last ditch. He never asked quarter or gave any, and once a bat he was pitched his opponents knew they must bring every resource of power to their support to meet the combat.
It has been said so often that "All the world loves a fighter," Mr. Roosevelt was essentially American, and typically American, in his jealousy of American standing before the world. He hated weakness in the state, national weakness, and to his death he was attacking whatever saved of weakness in American statesmanship national or international. The place of commanding preeminence before the other great powers, which America enjoys today, began to be won under the Roosevelt regime.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY JAN. 11th. 1910
and foreign statesmen today look up on the Roosevelt personality as the dominant figure in American politics. History, American and world history, will give him a gilded page in as scribing to him the credit for giving this nation its impetus toward world concern and recognition, and will say of him that perhaps, since Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt was America's citizen of farthest vision and greatest grasp.

The city school superintendent, Mr. A. G. Miller, held a joint meeting of all the colored city school teachers Thursday of last week, and discussed how we can make up the time lost since school began on account of the influenza epidemic. Many ways were suggested, but finally it was decided to use such reviews and advanced work that would only touch upon the essentials of the subject in hand; that the primary grades will be satisfied with using less supplementary readers than they regularly do.
Members of the local Negro Business League have been restless for the past two months because the influenza ban has prevented them from holding their regular meetings. Now that the ban has been lifted they are making active preparations to resume their regular meetings, and that during the new year the organization will do even more constructive work than last year and that the membership will be greatly increased.

Memoriam
1
Foster—In memory of our loved one, Mr. Oliver W. Foster, who departed this life January 9th. 1918.
At 25 minutes to 10 o'clock an angel came at our home and took our loved one, our devoted one, our earthly friend, our counsellor, our guide. To where? Heaven. We could not realize that the summons had come; we could not believe that it was the hour; we could not understand. We called, he did not answer, for the first time we called and papa, our sweet papa, did not answer. We were grouped around the bedside, awaiting an answer, but no, Oh no, he could not answer, Jesus had called him and he answered. The angel bore the message of death, his spirit joined the heavenly spirit and left this earthly house. Our home is so lonely without thee; our heart aches for thee. Our papa, yes our papa, the chair you occupied for many many years is vacant. One year, yes one year, can we realize that you have left us one year and have gone to the beyond, joined hands with sweet mama, Viola, brothers and other loved ones, never more to return. We bow to our Redeemer for strength; silently the shades of evening gather around our lonely door; silently it brings before us a loving papa we shall see no more. He is gone, yes, he is no more. In the beautiful isles of somewhere, a soldier is gone; his work is finished, his battle well fought, his victory well run. Papa, sweet papa, sleep on, you are a watchman at the pearly gate, for when each one of us shall have finished our work, as your last moments were, the picture shall never be forgotten by us while life lasts. One year ago a new treasure was taken to thy trust to slumber in the silent dust. Nor pain nor grief nor anxious fear invade thy bonds, no mortal woes can reach the peaceful sleeper here while angels watch the soft repose. Rest here, blest saint, till from his throne the morning break and pierce the shade.

Private Marshall Mallard
Many of our readers, doubtless, knew and held in esteem Mr. Marshall Mallard, who, though a native of Comer, Alabama, has made his home for seven years in our city where he had a host of friends and admirers among both white and colored with whom he came in contact. News has come to us of his sudden death from pneumonia at Camp-Hancock. December 22nd, where he went to serve his country about four months ago. Those who knew him grieve at this untimely end, coming as it has while he was in the full health and strength of young manhood. During all the time he had been in Savannah he was chauffeur for Mr. John H. Hunter's family and they feel that his place cannot be filled, for he was ever a faithful employee.

MRS. MORGAN'S REBUTTAL
Savannah, Georgia.
January 7th, 1918.
To the Public:
In the Savannah Tribune of January 4th, Edward J. Morgan published a statement to the effect that he "is not and never has been the husband of Mrs. P. A. Williams, known as Mrs. P. A. Morgan, No. 629 W. Park Avenue land."
I wish to state that I am averse to all notoriety of this character, and I am only answering this malicious attack upon my reputation, for the resurance of my friends.
I was married to Edward J. Morgan in due form of law, on November 26th, 1910, in Beaufort county, South Carolina, by the Rev. Joe W. White, pastor of Jerusalem Baptist church (as both he and my husband represented), in the presence of Arthur Scott, Mattie Scott and two other persons. The usual ceremony was performed, a marriage certificate, duly executed by the minister and signed by the witnesses Scott, was issued, and is now in my possession as it has been ever since said marriage.
My husband and I came to Savannah, where he introduced me as his wife; he took me into his church (the First African Baptist Church) as his wife; he went into Olympia lodge, K. of P., as my husband; we have lived in Savannah as man and wife for nearly ten years; and the public has accepted us as being married.
Under the law, and in the sight of God, Edward J. Morgan and I were duly married, and we are now husband and wife, in view of the regularity and formality surrounding said ceremony of marriage. Under the law, "no lack of authority in the person performing the ceremony shall operate to invalidate a marriage." provided te marriage is valid in other respects.
If there were fraud or misrepresentation, my husband alone is responsible, criminally and otherwise, for his cowardly act.
My conscience is clear.
Respectfully,
Mrs. P. A. Morgan,

Masonry A Contsructive Force
| Masonry should be a -constructive
uot a destructive forecin the commt
in which it exists.
In other words, Masons should bt
builders always—of character, of civic
virtue, of all that makes for humar
uplift,
Masons should never be destroyer:
except of vice and unrighteousness,
So acting and so working, Masonry
Will be a mighty factor for good in
every community and clime where its
influence is felt.
If we guatd the outer door—if our
investigating committees will do their
duty, bravely and fearlessly, if only
the good and true are admitted to our
mystic shrine, Masonry will. indeed be
worthy of its splendid past and mareh
trinmphantly to n more glorious desti
ny in tho future.
‘Then Iet us devote our best energies
and our liighest endeavors towards
Masonry 2 constructive force.
A Masonic button is a good thing
‘But a Masonic character is an infi
nitely better thing.
We need more heart-Masons and
Jess emblem—wearing Masons.
— {
iéadoary is well worth all the study
and alt the time you can put into it.

Talk Masonry and live Masonry. and
attend your lodge regularly.
Make your lodge room attractive

fyou will not complain of non—atten

The Masonie press is hot after the
non-reading Mason. Unfortunately,
re never sees the article.
Masonry is a progressive force. It
ig anxious at all times to have-its mem
‘ders Know the truth and be set frec
from the shackles of superstition and
fgnorance. Whatever the times have
to offér to men of red blood’ and vigc
rous thought and pure ambition, Ma
scary is willing and eager to have
them receive.
= he Gavel
‘The gavel admonishes us to divest
our minds and consciences of the vice!
and superfluities of this Tife. Le
every brother ask himself, when this
instrament is presented before him, "i
in his life and conduct he adheres te
this admonition. Tat him endeavor
to curb those unruly passions which
produce dissenticn; restrain those pre

to vice and folly; let him give more
attention to the instruetions contained

Masonry, successor to the mysteries,
still follows the ancient manner of
teaching. Her ceremonies are Tike
the ancient amystic shows—not — fhe
reading of an exsay, but the opening
of 2 problem, requiring research, and
constituting philosophy. Her syanbils
are the instruction ste gives. — The
lectures are endeavors, often interpret
ing these srmbolx, He who would be
come an accomplished Muson must not
be content merely to hear, or even to

The officers invite all friends of the church to come out and help make a good showing, and every member is expected to attend all the services.
The church has been recently beautifled, and made ready for progressive work.
92nd Division Wins Honcres —Continued from one
The total casualties suffered by the 92nd. Division were 1478. Among the killed were six officers, and one officer died from wounds received in action, while 31 enlisted men died from wounds. 40 enlisted men died from disease; 28 enlisted men were listed as missing, 16 officers and 534 enlisted men were wounded; and 39 officers and 661 enlisted men were gassed. The division's number of gassed is un usually large. A reason is, perhaps, that the colored soldiers in the front line trenches of this division were un usually daring in makin raids into the enemy's territory.
Considering, especially, the desperate advance the colored soldiers of this division made out from Pont-a-Mous son the morning of November 10th, through a valley swept by the heavy guns of Metz, and nests of German machine guns, the casualties are slight, for on the morning I saw them make the advance, and knowing the dangerous ground they were to cover to make their objective, it appeared miraculous that the division was not wiped out. The casualty in the advance was, perhaps, as light as it was because of the rapidity with which their line advanced. Officers couldn't hold them back, and the German guns and soldiers could not stop them. They plunged on to Preny and Pagny, and they rushed into the Bois Frehaut, and held, for 36 hours, after they took it, this place from which picked Moroccan and Senegalese troops were forced to retreat in ten minutes after they had entered it. Occupying this Bois Frehaut for 36 hours against a murderous fire from the enemy, remaining there until hostilities ceased, it is surprising, a miracle, that the casualty list of the 92nd. Division did not mount to many times 1478.

St. Athanasius Episcopal church celebrated on the sixth the epiphany. The feast of lights was very much enjoyed by those present.
The Rev. Father and Mrs. Lewis of St. Athanasius church had a real taste of southern hospitality during the Christmas-fide. Father Lewis has felt all along, though he has been here but a short time, that his parish lioners are a kind and loving people but, if the adage that actions speak louder than words is true, it was certainly evidenced by the many good things which they received. They be gan coming in on Monday before Christ mas, first a big twenty-five pound turkey from the Rector's Guild, then on Christmas eve a load of groceries which taxed the auto delivery wagon which conveyed them, a gift from the Parish Aid Society. These pleasant reminders of the yuletide season were followed by individual gifts from the parishioners, including numerous articles of food and other things, for all of which Father and Mrs. Lewis wish to extend their appreciation.
Rev. and Mrs. B. J. Jackson, of St. Paul A M. E. church were the recipients of a most enjoyable surprise during the Christmas holidays from the members and friends of that church. The surprising party brought all manner of gifts which added immeasurably to the pleasures of the minister's home. The Rev.
