BEAUTIFUL DOLL GOES TO LITTLE GERALDINE BURTON
Hospital Building Fund Swelled During the Week
The doll party given by the ladies of the fancy table of the Charity Hospital Fair committee, was held Friday afternoon of last week at the Masonic Temple.

Much interest was manifested in the reports as they were given by the seventeen contestants, which resulted in $130.20 being realized for the fancy table through this novel scheme. The winner of the doll and its beautifully complete wardrobe was little Geraldine Burton, who turned in $26.02, her nearest competitor being little Thelma Hart who reported $19.05. All the contestants were given favors.

SERGT. JOSEPH BEMBRY
DIES FROM BEING GASSED
Will Be Buried Here Tomorrow, Many
Ex-Soldiers Attending the Funeral
Sergt. Joseph Bembry, of the 804th
Pioneer Infantry, an enlisted man and
a former resident of this city, who
was gassed in France in one of the
Allies big drives, died during the week
at a base hospital in New York as the
result of the poisonous fumes. Upon
being brought to the states he was
taken to the hospital where he
remained until he died. During his
residence here, he lived with Mr. Chas.
H. Boyall, 714 Gwinnett street, west,
from whose residence the funeral will
take place tomorrow afternoon at 3:30
o'clock.
All the returned soldiers in the city will attend the funeral in a body. They will assemble at the Savannah Home Association. A number of musicians have offered their services. The body is expected to arrive today.
THE MILITARY OFFICER
Lieut. Robert L. Campbell
Husband Sav'h Woman Cited For Bravery
RESCUED WOUNDED MESSENGER IN ARGONNE FOREST AND GETS
Distinguished Medal
For Deeds of Bravery Lt. Robert
L. Campbell Is Recommended
for a Capitaincy
With the return of the colored troops to the States from overseas come many interesting and highly commendable accounts of their deeds of bravery on the battlefields of France. Many have been the black troops from this country, who have received citations for heroism while they were in the thick of battle and who in numerous ways have won the plaudits of their commanding officers.
One among these is First Lieutenant Robert L. Campbell, of Greensboro, N. C., who, while serving with his regiment, the 36Sth Infantry, in the Argonne Forest, during the latter months of the war, was twice cited for bravery in a single battle. Lieutenant Campbell's acts of gallantry will be particularly interesting to Savannahians because of the fact that his wife was, prior to marriage, Miss Alice Mulligan, of this city, who is a the niece of Mrs. J. C. Houstown of East Anderson street.
In an article, recently published in The New York Times, concerning the record made by Negro soldiers in the European war, the following is given about the Negro as an individual fighter:
"Here is an individual exploit:
"The 368th Infantry, colored, fought in the Argonne. It became necessary to send a runner with a message to the left flank of an American firing line. The way was across an open field swept by heavy machine gun fire.
"Volunteers were called for. Private Edward Saunders of Cepany I responded. Before he had gone far a shell cut him down. As he fell he cried to his comrades:
"Some one come and get this message. I am wounded." "Lieutenant Robert L. Campbell of the same company sprang to the rescue. He dashed across the shell-swept space, picked up the private, and, with the Germans fairly hailing bullets around him, carried his man back to the American lines. "For the valor shown both were cited for the Distinguished Service Cross, and Lieutenant Campbell, in addition, was recommended for a Captain."
In further discussing the deeds of the colored soldier, the article says: "Under the same Lieutenant Robert L. Campbell, a few colored soldiers, armed only with black pieces.

trench knives, and hand grenades, picked up from shell holes along the way, were moving over a road in the Chateau-Thierry sector. Suddenly their course was crossed by the firing of a German machine gun. They tried to locate it by the direction of the bullots, but could not. To their right, a little ahead, lay a space covered with thick underbrush; just back of it was an open field.
"Lieutenant Campbell, who knew by the direction of the bullets that his party had not been seen by the Germans, ordered one of his men, with a rope which they happened to have, to crawl to the thick underbrush; and the rope to several stems of the brush; then to withdraw as far as possible and pull the rope, making the brush shake as though men were crawling through it. The purpose was to draw direct fire from the machine gun, and, by watching, locate its position!
"The ruse worked. Lieutenant Campbell then ordered three of his men to steal out and flank the machine gun on one side, while he and two others moved up and flanked it on the other side.
"The brush was shaken more violently by the secret rope. The German, their eyes focused on the brush, poured a ball of bullets into it. Lieutenant Campbell gave the signal. The flanking party dashed up; with their hand grenades they killed four of the boches and captured the remaining three—also the machine gun."
Before entering the army, Lieutenant Campbell was instructor in mechanical engineering at the Agricultural and Technical College at Greensboro, M. $ \textcircled{1} $ He is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, class of 1905. He was born at Athens, Ga... and is well known here.
NEWS FROM WAYCROSS
Under the direction of their domestic Science teacher, Miss Claudine Taylor, the pupils of Reidsville Public School gave the principal and other teachers an idea of what progress they had made in the culinary art. The following menu was served; hot rolls, sausages, butter, rice croquettes, candied sweet potatoes, pickles, pie, potato salad, French dressing, sliced tomatoes, cheese, ice cream and coffee. All of this was prepared according to latest French and American ideas. The head of this department has shown much proficiency, and is receiving the well deserved congratulations of her patrons and friends.
Plans are being rapidly effected to raise a thousand dollars for North Side School to be reported on Sunday, April 6th, on Booker T. Washington's birth day. We are hoping to have the cooperation of everyone in this effort. As it now stands our school house does not have a central attraction. We can build fine churches, why not have fine school houses for the children when we see that is the only way to get them?

We hope that the lately appointed business committees of the Negro Business League will get very busy and make themselves felt. The League is to the Negro Business what the Chamber of Commerce is to the Caucasian business.

Private James Williams
Young Savannahian Wins-French Medal
PRIVATE JAMES WILLIAMS HERE WITH CROIX DE GUERRE
Wounded at Snake Hill
Went Through European Campaign with Famous Old Fifteenth New York Regiment
Among the Negro soldiers to arrive in the city this week, who had seen service overseas, is one who modestly wears the Croix de Guerre and Star, the insignia of honor which are awarded by the French government to those soldiers who are given person- citation for bravery in battle.
The young man who is the possesor of this much coveted badge of distinction is Private James Williams, son of Mrs. Anna Williams who resides on Perry street, east, near East Broad. Private Williams was a member of the famous 300th Infantry, formerly the Old Fifteenth New, York National Guard regiment, which was the first Negro combat regiment to go overseas and which won undying fame, not only because of its almost unendurable record of 191 days on the firing line, a record which surpasses by five days that of any other American regiment which took part in the great world war, but because of its fierce and almost irresistible fighting which gained for its men from the Hun the title of "Blood-thirsty black men."
Private Williams was a member of Co. G. and it was in the attack-of his regiment on "Snake Hill," in He Champagne sector, that he exhibited the valor for which he was awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French army with which the 360th was brigaded. The attack on Snake Hill was one of the fiercest in which his regiment participated and not until the regiment had lost many of its officers and men were the boches dislodged from this one of the most advantageous strongholds in the Champagne sector. It was from the capture of Snake Hill that the regiment decided to to use as its regimental insignia that of a coiled serpent, ready to strike, which each man wore on his shoulder when the regiment paraded up Fifth Avenue, New York, week before last, when it was accorded such a glorious welcome by all Gotham. In the attack on Snake Hill Private Williams received his first wounds. He was advancing with his company to take a machine gun position when he was shot through the right hip with a machine gun bullet and hit in the right arm by shrapnel. From these wounds he was laid up in the hospital for three months, and he still shows very perceptible effects of the wound in the hip. Along with Private Williams, who is twenty-four years old, native Savannahian and a shuffler before collecting in the army, three

Mistrial In Jordan Murder Case
Mistrial In Jordan Murder Case
KILLED WHITE MAN FOR ALLEGED MISCONDUST WITH WIFE
N. A. A. C. P. Takes Prominent Part in Defense of Slayer
Brunswick, Ga., March 2—A mistrial was directed in the case here today of Mr. Ben Jordan, colored, who several months ago killed B. F. Jones, white, whom he found in his house with his wife and accused of ungentlemanly conduct with her at the time. The case was one of unusual interest and attracted a large crowd. From the facts presented, it seems that Jordan, on December 2nd, last arrived at his home and found Jones in his house with his wife, the two being alleged to have been found by Jordan in a most compromising position. Jordan forthwith shot Jones who died almost instantly, and wounded the woman. He then went to a nearby store and telephoned the police authorities that he had killed a man and informed them that he would await their arrival to be arrested, which he did.
In the trial today Jordan was represented by Attorney R. W. Durden, who, it is stated, had in his possession sufficient evidence to secure the man's acquittal. The attorney, however, did not, it is stated, present a great deal of this evidence with the result that a mistrial was directed in the case after the jury had deliberated for five days. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has secured another attorney to represent Jordan at the next trial and will spare no money to secure justice for him. It is stated that the association will require several hundred dollars in preparing Jordan's defense and asks all Negroes who are desirous of seeing this man secure justice, who in killing Jones was simply defending the sanctity of his home, to send their contributions to the Brunswick Branch N. A. A. C. P., and its secretary, Mrs. L. R. Burroughs, 1519 Stonewall street, will immediately acknowledge the same.
Mr. J. M. Ross, of Garfield, Ga. one of the prominent citizens of that section, was elected recently to represent Mosaic Lodge, No. 219, Knights of Pythias, in July at Atlanta, and as worshipful master of Lily Root Lodge, No. 17, Masons, he will represent it at the grand lodge in America.

Darling Mother and Sister,
I received your loving letter and also
the Xmas box. You all can't imagine
how much I enjoyed it, and I wish to
thank you both for everything that you
seek. I was quite amused when I read
what Bon told you about the dinner we
gave us, and only wish I had been there
to correct a little of that.
I am expecting to return to the States real soon, and of course you know I am not a lover of this country and I am anxious to return to the old U. S. A. It will receive my service stripe the list of Feb., but I truly, hope before next six months pass I will be home with you all. I think of you both constantly and tell all the boys that I am going to write them soon. I received Edna's letter Xmas morning, and answered it right away. No doubt by the time you receive this letter I will have received an answer. I received a letter from Mrs. Dodson, telling me how fine Jas. looked in his uniform, but I answered and told her if she waned to see a real soldier wait until her real soldier boy comes home.
I am well and getting along all right,
and I hope you all are likewise. Give my best regards to all that inquire of me, and tell them I'll be home soon.
Mother, dear, I would like very much to send the photos, but I am very sorry to say that I am not in a position to have my picture taken, for I am in town where there are all soldiers, but as soon as I can, I will have some taken and send you one.
I hope that you are in fine health, and enjoying yourself innumerously. I am in fine health and am having a very nice time. It snowed lightly here about two days ago and since that time, it has been pretty cold, but we have dry barracks to live in, also plenty of heaters and lots of coal, so you see we are pretty comfortable. There are lots of boys here that I knew in Savannah. They are all in the Infantry, and expect to leave for home in a day or so. I don't know how long we will be here, as we have no orders as yet, but I am contented, for I know they won't keep us over here always.
We were reviewed by Gen. Pershing on last Friday. This was my first sight of him. He looks exactly like the pictures that are printed in the papers of him. He is inspecting this camp now, and I hope he feels so good over it that he sends us home "tout desuits" because I want to see you all again, and then I'll be contented. Tell old "Kaiser" to keep the browns in good spirits until I get back. I am going to write you all an interesting letter soon if nothing happens. Tell "Toto" and lay bylo for me, and tell them that I'll be hack, had us ever in a mouth or so, and tell "Toto" that I am going to put his head under, water this time.
Well, I have said enough for this time, so remember me to all the folks and don't forget the "Bronx." Lovingly, AnoCzM. Arthur G. McVerr. January 29th, 1816. Mrs. Midle Johnston. MS West Broad street. Savannah, Ga. Dear Friends.
I hope when this reaches you it will find you well as it leaves me. I must also that your husband is enjoying the best of health. I have now been in France for about four months, going first from one place to another. I am cook in my company and find the work very congenial although we have 250 men to prepare meals for three times a day. But I will glad to get some nurses from Savannah, we're just hungry for hope and fun. We will all enlist in to fall back to the state and make the moving time was for all world be a happy family and we do

PRINCIPLE AND POWER
PRINCIPLE AND POWER
The inter-Allied Conference is seriously concerned with determining the status and relationship of all those smaller but distinctly different groups of peoples, which prior to the war, were incorporated under, if not being gradually absorbed by the more powerful governments in whose jurisdictions they lived. To be plainer, there were many people of varying ethnic or racial types, who regarded themselves as essentially different and distinct from the peoples under whose flags they lived, and paid formal allegiance to.
There were a great many small sects, races, nations or kingdoms, nominally portions of larger powers, annexed by conquest in the past, but which never at heart yielded their national spirit, their ideals of their racial identity to the powers which dominated and controlled them.. They were clannish; they resisted miscegination, and preserved their social order to a marked degree, considering that they differed so little from the types among which they were placed.
They have believed in their right to self-determination and self-government. They have longed for deliverance from their oppressors. They are now appealing to the peace adjudicators to cut them aloose from the larger states, establish the plan and process of separate government for them, and provide for securing its stability and permanency.
From the standpoint of political and military self-defense, the peace-makers are beginning to feel that this course is the only practical means of checking German aggression and imperialism, which they all fear; and it would seem that these smaller nationalities will profit in the readjustment, secure their separation, and have themselves re-rooted.
We call attention to these political processes now running through the Peace Conference discussions for two main reasons, viz.: First, it illustrates the wide spread popular demand for the universal application of the rule of self-determination; and second, it is the same political condition which America is experiencing, as the result of the Emancipation of its Negro slaves, its declaration of their citizenship as a practical fact.
We have, then, in America, another example of the European tangle, two distinct races in one land, with the powerful, not dominating only, but domineering the weaker, and holding it in a species of vassalage, as a subject people in violation of the Lighest law. Sutton B. Griggs, a distinguished Negro minister and author, has treated of this in a book, issued about twenty years ago, entitled, "Imperium in Imperial" (a kingdom within a kingdom).
Such a social and political conflict as this is unnatural in the extreme; and there can be no permanent quiet in America, except upon the only reasonable relationship between those two peoples, namely, political equality.
Countless expedients, experiments and subterfuges have been tried, and failed in turn. None have satisfied. None will, because they are illogical, unnatural and wrong.
American Negroes ask only for the political equality guaranteed them by the Constitution, amply merited, and will won by brawn, blood and brain.
American social, industrial and moral problems are seriously complicated by the unnatural remedies applied to them, and to this extent, American problems differ from European.
The American Negro asks for the right of self-determination within America. He does not ask to be set apart in a distinct and separate territory (which is impossible and foolish); but he claims America by every right and every ground, and asks that his right to participate fully in the affairs of American government be asserted and enforced.
The great human and moral question
growing out of the war have been so big, and so embracing that their solutions cannot be determined with reference to any one people. If this were possible, America would easily dispose of her Negro problem in the established and customary way, namely, by circumvention and evasion, by subterfuge backed by prejudice. But these great world problems were so enlarged in the great world war, covered such a wide area, and variety of people, and are fraught with such germane and serious consequences that they must be settled right.
Self-determination, then, for every distinct people is being established as an abstract right, inalienable beyond contravention and debate, and limited only by the capacities of the different races and groups.
This world principle is bound to be the monumental principle growing out of the war. It has already been asserted. Naturally and logically, then, whatever of method, of concession, of direction and of aid may be necessary to effectuate realization of this dream of the opressed in Russia, in Germany, under Britan, or in America, will be realized in due time.

He was the district superintendent of the Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Co. The funeral was held from the Bryan Baptist Church of which he was a member.. Rev H. T. Taylor, pastor of the 1st A. B.

THE EVANGELICAL MINISTERS'
UNION
The Ministers' Union met Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock at St. Philip A. M. M. Church with President Dr. W. D. Alexander in the chair. Devotional services were conducted by Rey. James Jackson, D. D. As planned the following gave splendid sermonic reports of their sermons last Sunday: Rev. B. V. Branch, text; John 2:7, subject, "Te results of faithful obedience to God." His climax being that he should give the Lord complete service. Rev. J. Henry Brown, text, Gen. A. S. subject, "What we, should conquer, and no discussed it to the fullest extent." Then Rev. J. A. Richie, D. D., text John 12:20, subject, "The servant and his master." He handled his subject wish case and led a splendid impression. Then Rev. B. W. White, D. D., and Rev. H. H. Williamson gave their reports it being from the Sunday School lesson. Subject, "God is looking for a man who he can depend upon." Each gave a brief but vivid discussion upon the subject, and stressed the opinions of the two and the opinion of the ten that were sent. The President declared that whatever prompted men to engage in bloody conflict, behind and through all was the hand of God ushering in a new Heaven and a new earth that a very commendable thing about the war was, that the Negro allied a large place in it on this side and beyond the sea with credit.
Rev. Isaac Brooks, pastor of the Church of God applied for membership, and upon recommendation of Dr. E. W. White was received into the Union as a member. Father J. Henry Brown then, arose and commended the Union for the splendid service of Spong rendered weekly by the Union along with other important topics.
On next Tuesday morning the report on the Stand that the Ministers Alliance should take on city affairs will be given by the chairman. The following is the program for the next month. Visitors are made welcome to the Union each week. March 11, "Bolshevism." I s defi nition, the object and its future in American politics, by Rev. R. B. Branch.

Rev. R. Y. Branch rendered a special report for the committee, on Current Events, and Rev. J. A. Bichie rendered favorable report for the Vigilent Committee. Rev. B. W. Maxwell, R. L. Heard, G. H. Green H H Williamson and others led in the 12 minutes talks. The Union adopted the Hollow resolution, presented by the Committee on Current Events.
Whereas, the Negro troops of Savannah, Ga. and virility, recently returned from the Expeditionary Army to France, met at the Polin Theatre on Sunday, March 2nd, to consider an invitation extended them to take part in the formal parade which was arranged by a group of White citizens and known as the Soldiers, Welcome Committee and Whoreas, our soldier boys, after care in consideration and discussion on the merits and demerits of the above mentioned institution, found themselves discriminated against by the position assigned to them in the line of marel by said committee, reached a final conclusion to reject the invitation altogether.
Resolved, that we as Officers and Members of the Evangelical Mini-sters Union of Savannah, Ga., highly commul the manly soldiery patriotic, all American position, taken by our boys in shaki in reference to their action: Resolved further.
That we shall encourage from our respective pulpits all efforts made in the future by our own people, any arrangement to tender our boys a bearly welcome home in a true all-American spirit, and that we will contribute our influence, our substanti- and our prayers for the success of the same.
A LARGE ATTENDANCE IS REQUSTED of all the members of the Union for Tuesday, as final arrangements will be made for the Annual Installation.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
Office of the Grand Worthy Counsellor, Grand Court of Calanthe of North America, South America, Europe, Asia Africa and Australia; jurisdiction of Georgia, 1233 Mauge street, Augusta, Ga., February 20, 1919.
To the Grand Court officers, grand representatives, members of the grand court, worthy counsellors and members of the subordinate courts throughout Ceor ia.
Greetings:
In compliance with the law, it becomes my duty to remind you that in its onward progress, the order of Calanthe has reached another mile stone. When we look back we realize as never before, that we should be humbly and profoundly grateful to God for the goodness and mercy that has spared us to celebrate an anniversary at the dawn of a new day.
One year ago war and pestilence reigned the world over. Many of us were called upon to send our husbands, brothers and sons across the great Atlantic to fight and die, that "Freedom for all forever" might be a fact rathor than a slogan.
"There's not to reason why,
With prayers and tears we laid our sacrifices upon the Altar of Service and now when the Dove of Peace flies triumphantly over our heads, let the Georgia Calanthians join with the Order the world over to give thanks to us supplying Jesus for our needs through a year of strife into one of peace.
Therefore, I, Mary Nelson Jones, grand worthy counsellor, do hereby pro claim, and designate Sunday, March 23rd, 1919, as the day set apart for our Annual Thanksgiving Service.
Let us give thanks and rejoice:
1. For what America has done to bring peace to the world.
2. For the brave Negro soldiers who have proved loyal and true.
3. For those who made the supreme sacrifices and those who returned to us.
4. For the growth and encouraging outlook of the Order of Calanthe in Georgia.
Finally, let us be thankful for the life and service of our late lamented Rosa Lou Barnes, sacrificed upon the altar of Calanthism.
I shall expect every court in our jurisdiction to repair to a church or hall, and if possible co-operate to the fullest extent with the K. of P. in your town or city to make this the most memorable occasion in the history of the Or-
Let me urge each Court to go proper ly regaled.
Order your badges from this office. Court badges are 75 cents each. All orders must be in the office by the 10th of March.
Programs from this office or Grand Chancellor's office, $1.75 per hundred.
Members failing to comply with the above proclamation without lawful excuse and so accepted by their Court, must pay the penalty.
Given under my hand and seal of the Grand Court of Calanthe at Augusta, Ga., this 20th day of February, A. D. 1919.
Yours in F. H. and L.,
Mrs. Mary Nelson Jones, G. W. O.
Mrs. M. S. Grant, G. R. of D.
