NO. 11 DRAFTING BEGIN Negroes' Chances As Time Drawment Open To "President Wilson and E Russia. They Say, 'We A To Win a World War S Survive.' "Help Us To Make This N Government That It Must It Can Claim Free Russia Only a few more days remain until the United States Government will put in force its drafting machine. To date, the Negroes have not been given a chance to volunteer their service. As we go to press patriotism is at fever height. Banners and bugles are calling men to arms. The first entanglement of the United States Army has reached France and it is believed that more arp on the way. No Room For the Negro Notwithstanding the fact that a campaign is on for 70,000 men to volunteer their services; according to the statement of the local recruiting officers there is no room for the Negro. So far as can be learned there is no preparation being made for additional regiments for Colored soldiers. An effort has been made to induce the governor to recommission the old 6th regiment N. G. of Missouri, and open it to Negro volunteers, but the effort seems to have met with little success. This is looked upon by the Negro patriots as a denial of equal rights of the citizens in a real democracy. "President Wilson and Envoy Root are deceiving Russia. They say, 'we are a democracy. Help us win a world war so that democracies may survive.'" "Help us make this nation really free. Tell our government that it must liberate its people before it can claim free Russia as an ally."—Suffragettes. These words of the Suffragettes have a clear ring which drives home the truth of the condition of ten million Negroes in this country today. Army Turns Down Negro Mechanic Army Turns Down Negro Mechanic Robarr R. Edmondson, a Tukeegee graduate, had the officials of the army recruiting office in St. Louis in a quandary for a while last week. Edmondson is an expert mechanic and is employed in the mechanical department of the Missouri-Pacific Railroad shops at Pueblo, Colorado. When the government called for mechanics to volunteer for the Second Reserve engineers, thirty-four men made application from the Pueblo shops. Edmondson was one of four whose names were submitted by B. F. Bush, president of the road. Although his application was plainly marked "Colored," he was ordered by the army officials to come to St. Louis. When he arrived at the office here June 23 he was told by Colonel Townsend that "this is strictly a white man's regiment." After admitting that Edmondson's application had been accepted in regular form and that his experience was such as to qualify him for service, the colonel tried to disqualify him by stating that it would be necessary for all engineers to speak French. Edmondson demonstrated that he spoke the language fluently. Major Hall then admitted they were "up against it" and after much parleying, offered him a chance in the Mess Department. Of course Edmonson declined to accept the offer and left this week for Pueblo to resume his work in the Missouri-Pacific shops. Railroad officials here state that the call for volunteers did not specify nationality or race. Major Young In Hospital Washington, D. C.—The friends of Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young of the Tenth United States Cavalry were surprised to learn that he had, been ordered by the War Department to report to the commanding officer at Letterman general hospital, the Presidio, San Francisco, Cal., for observation and treatment. The order bears the date of May 23. Details are lacking. Until the order reached him Colonel Young had been stationed on the Mexican border and had been giving instructions to building officers of the United States army at the training camps. Fort Des Moines. Special to The Argus: Ft. Des Moines, June. 26.—Everyone is getting along fine here, especially the St. Louis men. We have all been thoroughly equipped and look like régular officers. We are organizing a baseball club in our company. We all were inoculated with typhoid and there are a lot of sore arms today. We have very little spare time, as you can see by the following daily program. Reveille at 3:45 a. m. Breakfast at 6 a. m. Morning instruction from 7 to 12 a. m. Dinner at 12:15 p. m. Afternoon instruction from 1:30 to 4:30 p. m. Sick call at 4:45 p. m. Retreat at 5:50 p. m. Supper at 6 p. m. Study period at 7 p. m. Only Three- Rejected Only three candidates have been rejected by the physical examiners at the fort. One because he was too big, and two because they were too small. The man who was overweight tipped the scales at 260 pounds, and in spite of his rescued as captain of the Forty-eighth Volunteer Infantry in the Spanish-American War, he had to be turned down. Colored Soldiers In Honolulu, H. T. Are Lonesome The Colored soldiers cast away on the lonely Hawaiian Islands want to correspond with some Colored girls at home. The boys say the native belles cannot wean them away from thoughts of the "real, honest-to-goodness girls in God's own country, back in the U. S. A." They ask the Argus to tell the girls to "do their bit" by writing to them, and they will answer with some real news letters. Their names are: Harry H. Murray, Moses Sanders, Luther Snow, Ira Junkins, James H. Wiley, Luther-Hunter, Luther, Cook, Edward Thompson, Ben Hughes, James Creston, all of, Company H, 23th Infantry; Morris Brown, Company E; John W.

Paid-In-Full Movement Started. Two Hundred New Members Expected Campaign Now On A novel way has been decided upon by the Y. M. C. A. to pass on to future generations the names of those who did their part in the erection of the new Y. W. C. A. Building. Every subscriber who pays his pledge in full before the time of the corner stone laying, which is to be in August, will have his name on the list of full-paid subscribers, which will be enclosed in the corner stone. This will mean that in many years from now, when the new building shall be discarded and wrecked, the names of those who have paid in full up to that time will stand as a monument to the generosity of the givers. A. E. MALONE Who Will Lead "Y" Membership Campaign Right along with this decision was the decision to start a Paid-in-Full Club. This will include all who have paid their subscriptions and membership will be signified by a button marked, "Paid In Full.

So that every department of the Y. M. C. A. shall be up to the standard, a membership campaign is being run this week to put St. Louis in line with the other cities of its size.

NEGRO EXODUS IS INCREASING Conditions In South Not Improving. Enough To Tempt Him To Stay. Few Will Ever Return. Chicago, Ill.—The exodus of Negroes from the South to northern manufacturing points, stronger within the last month or so, is regarded as likely to increase considerably as the season advances, and to continue throughout the summer. Not more than a quarter of those leaving the South, it is expected, will return. The condition is totally without precedent since reconstruction days. instructions to devote their energies to the promotion of a campaign to induce the Negro to remain in the South, and bankers and business men are being urged to endeavor to find employment of some kind for all surplus Negro labor in their communities. Following is the plan suggested for the southern representatives to follow in the instructions issued on the subject: "We should endeavor in each com- As to the situation in Chicago, A. L. Jackson, executive secretary of the Wabash Avenue Branch of the Y. M. C. A., says: "The Negroes are coming into Chicago pretty regularly and in larger numbers now. I had a man watch the railroad stations recently for ten days, and the police department also had a man take a cure cepus. In one week they found 500 arrivals and in another week from 1,200 to 1,500. All, of course, do not stop in Chicago. Many go on to Waukegan, Indiana Harbor and Gary, Detroit, Moline and various other manufacturing centers. In two days my agent found two parties of from 50 to 75 Negroes using Chicago as a transfer point. The flow has been very steady through good weather." 60.000 Gone Into Ohio Rev. J. H. Meadows, Ohio State Baptist Missionary, who visited in St. Louis recently, stated that more than 60,000 Negroes had gone into Ohio from southern states. These men are not only finding immediate employment, but are being taken care of as to social, religious, economical and housing conditions by the Baptist Convention and sociological organizations of the state. There is a growing demand for Negro labor, to fill vacancies and not as strike-breakers. Railway Discourages Emigration Washington, June 21.—In the effort to discourage the emigration of Negroes from the South, which is reported to have assumed such proportions that it is difficult in some localities to obtain sufficient Negro labor for farm work and other local needs, the management of the Southern Railway has adopted the policy of taking no action to accommodate this travel in the future. Orders have been issued to discontinue, effective at once, the assembling, holding and using of extra passenger, and baggage cars for laborer movements and otherwise to discourage the Negro exodus from the South in every legitimate manner. Representatizes of the development and traffic departments have received STANDARD LIFE PAYS FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS Maintains Record for Quick Adjustment of Death Claim on Life of the Late Professor Charles Summer Lovett, of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. Mr. T. A. Dickson, Special Representative, who is in charge of the Standard Life business in the state of Missouri, while in Jefferson City during the month of December, induced Mr. Lovett, along with several other professors of the Linganp Institute, to submit his application for fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500), worth of insurance. Policy number 8014 B was issued to Professor Charles S. Lovett December 28, 1916. At the time of Mr. Lovett's death he had only paid two quarterly premiums of $10.65, which makes a total of $21.30 paid by him. His policy was in force four months when he was strucken with typhoid fever, complicated with meningitis, about May 15, and died May 27. A check for fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500), has been paid Mrs. Johngeline Lovett, widow and beneficiary, in full settlement of the claim. You will recall the adjustment of the fifteen hundred dollar ($1,500) claim of the late Dr. H. T. Bolden, of East Saint Louis, Ill., who was injured in an automobile accident on Thanksgiving evening. In his case only one quarterly premium of $17.70 had been paid. The contract had only XODUS CREASING Suth Not Improving empt Him To Stay.

Following is the plan suggested for the southern representatives to follow in the instructions issued on the subject: "We should endeavor in each community to have some man make it his special business to interest the Negro preachers and have them take strong ground against the people of their race being lured away by promise of higher wages in other sections, pointing out that any advantage that the Negro might get by moving away would almost invariably be temporary and that in the long run it will be to his advantage to stay in the South, where he is known and where his labor will always be in demand." ONE OF THE CAUSES OF MIGRATION—NEGRO IS LYNCHED GALVESTON, TEX., June 25.—(fly U. P.)—A masked- and armed mob of more than 100 persons early today overjowered the guard at the county jail, ook Henry Sawyer, a mulatto Negro barged with attacking a white woman, placed him in an automobile, drove o the scene of the alleged crime and hung him to a signpost. While the job was heavily masked, the hawk showed all its members were white men. Negroes argued because of the lynching, have called a mass meeting, he sheriff and police departments declared an attempt to learn the identity of the lynchers, was useless. Sawyer was to have been tried today. His alleged crime was committed wo months ago. MOB LYNCHES NEGRO HOUSTON, TEX., June 22.—(By U. P.)—Ben Harper, Negro chauffeur of Houston, was lynched late last night at Courtney, Tex., according to telephone advice received here today. Harper, according to authorities, was the driver of an auto which ran over and fatally injured May Goodrum, 33 years old, at Courtney yesterday. MOB KILLS FLORIDA NEGRO PUNTA GORDA, FLA.; June 25.— Shop Trent, a, Negro, was taken from of- ferers near Cleveland, Fla., four miles from here, last night, and shot to death. He had been arrested for an attempt to attack a white woman. been in force twenty two days, but notwithstanding that fact, within two days a draft for fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500), was issued Mrs. Wertie Lee Bolden in settlement of this contract. These are but examples of the promptness with which the Standard Life Insurance Company handles all of its claims. There is but one thing that might delay the company in its adjustments, and that is some irregularity in the death proofs. Every man should realize the great loss that would be sustained by his family should be removed by death. If you have not already done so, get in touch with some Standard Life agent and give him an opportunity to demonstrate the many values offered you and your dependents in any of their contracts. The Standard Life Insurance Company is a regular Old-Line Legal Reserve company, that has/qualified in nine states and has the heart endorsement of the Insurance Commissioners, prominent insurance men and officials of the leading financial and insurance journals and papers, north, east, south and west. The company is now employing two hundred men are many years will be spreading benefience in every state where Negroes live in large numbers. Insure with the Standard Life Insurance Company.

Persons who are fortunate enough to secure this free trip will indeed enjoy it. Denver is the home office of the Supreme Camp of the American Woodmen. This great Fraternal Insurance Society is the largest and strongest financial organization among Negroes. The Supreme Camp, which meets in August, only meets once in four years. Visitors and delegates, representing the younger and modern members of our race, will be there from 17 states; in fact, the men and women, who make up the great membership of this organization, are of a newer generation than is usually met with at the national gatherings of our race.

In their dilemma over-the steady migration of the Negro north- ward, the white people uf the south, the editors and writers, are doing their best to stop the Negroes, by trying to justify lynching, disfranchisement, segregation. and some has gone so far as to say that the Negro should be ‘‘kept down.” ‘He should be kept in his place.”’ . They are loud in saying that the south is the best place for the Negro. They still insist that the south understands the Negro best, and is best prepared to deal with him. Notwithstanding the fact that over three hundred and fifty thousand colored people have left the south, and a steady stream is daily leaving, the white south is still saying ‘we know best how to handithe race question.” Those who make such statements are either dishonest or they are ignorant. Mr. Taylor Kennerly, who is a southerner and was formerly managing editor of the Montgomery Advertiser, strikes the key- note when he says: ‘the fact that the whole economic, commercial, educational, and moral attitude with which the white milky has as- sumed, and still assumes, towards the Negro is wrong; nd that while the white man.has robbed the Negro of: millions of dollars through keeping the black. man in ignorance, he has-also lost bil- lions through the same method, and -will continue to do so until he himself changes these deplorable conditions—conditions which should not be tolerated in any civilized community.” The very men who have power to change thése conditions are crying the loudest about the Negro exodus, we are told, and “they want to keep the | Negro‘in the south, and they are doing ‘everything.in their power “todo so, except the one thing that will sucteed—giving him a square deal.” My . When will the south wake up? If-it will only spend a little en- - ergy. in trying honestly to provide. better living conditions for the Negro, the problem will be solved. THREE NEGROES LYNCHED. Brute nature has broken out again in the south. During the past week, three Negroes have been lynched: The only trial was before ‘Judge Lynch’s Court.” As usual none of these murderers will be brought to justice, nor will any-attempt be made to even arrest the guilty parties. They say that ae represent the sen- timent of ‘the community.and the.ardused human nature. Human nature and brute nature are closel y allied. The ota which re- sponds to law and order and abides by-those precépts, for the “gov- ernment of society, which human experience ‘has taught are right, may properly be called -Aaman nature. But the nature which re- sponds to mob passion, and violates law ‘and order, may be properly called. brute nature.. The higher culture the individual possess, the further he.is from the bruté.. So it is with communities: one ‘man commits a crime, it may be a brutal one; a. thousand men, ir vio" lation of law, mete out summary punishment, to the first brute, but there are a thousand brutes let loose on’ the community, with ne check at.all. -Suth condition is a pretty good showing of the civili. zation in some parts of America. _ 7 _ MEN DRAFTED HAVE‘NO CHOICE AS TO SERVICE. Men drafted into“the new armies by selective conscription must to a gréat extent, take their chances as to the branch of ser- vice in which they serve. 4 = Announcement by Provost Marshal General Crowder today was that assignments to different branches will be made at ‘the discre- tiori of the War Department. oT Most of the men brought into, the army by draft are intended for the infantry. In na cases are men.to be assigned to the navy. Wé still see no relief in sight, for the Negro patriot. Those who had’the courage to apply’ to the recruiting offices in St: Louis, dur- ing|the past week, offering to volunteer their services, were told “nothing doing."’. The recruiting officers explaining, that all the colored regiments were full, and the seventy thousand volunteers called for by the President, were for white men only. @ o £ statement from the secretary of the !

Galicia Are Picturesque in Appearance. 1 villages of Galicia are expecially interesting on Sundays and holidays, when the national. costumes are donned. .The cottages are generally made of stone or boards plastered over, and are then covered with a coat of whitewash. The straw roof is frequent- ly crowded with green-growing moss, which adds to its picturesque appear ance, if not to Its healthfuiness, Water is drawn from the wells by a long pole balanced near the center. These wells have a decided old-world appearance, says the Christian Herald, The interfor of the cottages Is usually divided into two, rooms. In-one room the entire family live, eat'and sleep; ig the other, In more or less harmonious content: ment, dwell the cows, pigs, chickens and geese. No. household would be complete without a number of geese. Around the cottages.a number of chil dren-are sure to be seen playing. A dozen or 20 or 30 of such cottages each separated only by « small yard make up a village. If there {s a mar ringeable daughter in the house, the Mantel ‘of the door and the window sur roundings are ornamented with’ little Irregular hands, which 1s a notice t the marriageable-young men.

How one shall read the Bible depends largely on what he is reading it for. The Bible is an all-around book and serves many purposes, but it is well to have in mind some definite purpose in all one's reading. PETER H. All stringed instruments quickly get out of tune. The action of the atmosphere and constant vibration in playing, relax the tension of the strings so that they need to be tuned very often. No matter how good the violin is, it needs to be tuned every day, and often many times a day. Man is like a violin. He soon gets out of tune with God. The wear and tear of life, and the demoralizing atmosphere which sin creates, so affects his disposition that he needs to be brought into harmony with God every morning. It is not surprising, when we consider the subtlety of sin, and the weakness of the flesh, rather it is Strange that a harp of a thousand strings. Should keep in tune so long. Nothing will bring the believer into touch with God so soon as a little taste of the divine Word. For devotional purposes the psalms are perhaps the best reading, because they cover so wide a range of experience. Here we find aspiration and confession, joy and sorrow, adoration and praise. Here we behold the calm confidence which grows out of a sublime faith: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Again we meet the bitter anguish which comes from ingratitude, or unrequited love, or the ecstasy of sin forgiven, or the passionate plea for mercy as in the fifty-first psalm, or the shout of triumph in the thirty-second psalm. It is doubtful if there is any experience in life for which we cannot find a duplicate in the psalter, and, noting how the man after God's own heart behaved in similar emergencies, we are unconsciously led into the same feeling. Morning and Eventide. In the morning read the nineteenth psalm and at eventide the eighth psalm. If you are going on a journey, Psalm 21 is appropriate. If in perplexity, read Psalm 37. If you are grateful, choose Psalm 105, or Psalm 106, or Psalm 107. If your heart needs searching, read Psalm 139, which begins with the words, "O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me," and after a sublime description of God's omniscience, closes with the prayer that only an honest heart can utter: "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." If it is comfort you need, you will find it in abundance in Psalms 34, 91 and 108. The Gospels are also excellent for devotional reading because there we come in contact with the words and works of Jesus. We see how he lived in the home and by the wayside, in the carpenter's shop, and by the open grave. We see him in public life and in private ministry always the same, never hurried, never worried, always thinking of others and never of himself. We see him playing with the children, watching the birds on the trees, the growing grain and the fading flowers. In everything he saw God's love and care, and from all things natural he drew some spiritual lessons. The epistles are especially helpful to the mature Christian as revealing the relation of the believer to his fellow man; to the church, the state, and the perishing world. How. Long. If it be asked how much one should read at a time for devotional purposes, let me answer with an illustration. I once saw a picture of the disciples on the way to Emmaus. The Master has just left them and the two men are looking at each other in glad astonishment. One of them is holding both hands over his heart as he says with rapture, "Did not, our hearts burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the Scriptures?" He can almost feel his heart burn still as he recalls the memory of that blessed walk. If you ask how long one shall read his Bible for devotional purposes, I answer, "Bread until your heart burns and your soul thrills with the consciousness of God's approval." The Morning Watch George Muller's testimony, regarding the morning watch is very valuable: "The first thing a child of God has to do morning by morning is to obtain food for his soul. And what is food for the soul? Not prayer, but the Word of God; not the simple reading of the Word, so that it passes through our minds as water runs through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering over it, and applying it to our hearts. When we pray, we speak to God. When we read the Bible, God speaks to us." INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 1 ISALAM 6. GOLDEN TEXT: I also heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Then shall I send, and who will go for us?' Then said I, Here am I; send me- Isa. 6:8. The lesson committee now turn for a third quarter's lesson to a series of studies in the Old Testament as found in II Kings, Erra and Nehemiah. As an introduction, they have chosen this chapter in the book of Isaiah. Isaiah prophesied in the latter half of Uzziah's reign, B. C. 760 and down to the early years of the reign of Manasseh about B. C. 694 (ch. 1:1). This event took place probably B. C. 755. The place was Jerusalem; the kingdom of Israel was still in existence (for 33 years longer) being utterly destroyed in B. C. 721. The name Isaiah means "the salvation of Jehovah;" his wife is called "the prophetess;" two of his sons are named and his social position was high, as shown by his intimacy with kings. Isaiah lived in troublesous times. He was a reformer seeking to rescue his nation from the sins growing out of their disobedience to God. He was the leading statesman of his time, the greatest of the prophets, an author, a heroic, single-minded, patriotic, fearless, undaunted man of great personal power and influence. He was a prophet of hope; he wrote out of his long life of faithfulness and fellowship with God. The book of Isaiah falls into two great divisions; chapters 1-39 being chiefly historical, interspersed with songs and poems; chapters 40-66 are a collection of prophecies that have to do chiefly with the return from the Babylonian exile and the days of future glory for the kingdom of God. 1. Visions (vv. 1-4). As we have said, Isalah prophesied in a time of great need. The prophet was very much discouraged. In this passage he locates his vision at a special time and place (ch. 1:1). Every man's great need today is a real vision of God. We are not so much in need of theories about God, as a vision of God himself. Uzziah's long reign of 52 years, in which the kingdom prospered and the king's name was spread abroad, stopped as suddenly as an earthquake, and his glory was eclipsed (see II Chron. 26:16-19). The place in which Isalah saw his vision was the house of God. Perhaps not in the temple, but seeing the vision from the temple the prophet looks to a house not built with hands, Jehovah's own heavenly palace. Therein he saw "the Lord sitting on a throne . . . and his train filled the temple." Above it, or around it, were arranged hovering courtiers and the seraphic choir. The majesty of this vision is indicated in verse two, its glory in verse three, and its power is indicated in verse four. The whole earth was filled with God's wondrous wisdom, love and power. Literally "the whole earth is full of his glory." The Hebrew word for holiness comes from a word meaning "to set apart—set a distance from." The holy Lord is not only sinless but he is sublime and absolute also. It may seem difficult to harmonize Isalah's vision with John 1:18, yet these manifestations were one and the same, for all that saw Jesus saw God (John 14:9). King Uzziah was dead but the real king was living still, high and lifted up. The attempt to reason about him, what he must be and what he must not be, as if he were one of ourselves (Eph. 1:20, 21) is absurd. 11. Divisions (vv. 5-13). (I) The vision of the prophet (vv. 5-7). This vision brought conviction because it showed how far separated from God the prophet was. It also brought conversion in that he acknowledged himself to be unclean, himself and his surroundings to be vile. It also led to cleansing, for the king heard the voice of the prophet, removed his guilt and purged his sin. (2) The voice and proclamation from the king (vv. 8-13). The king called for a messenger (vv. 8) and at once the prophet is found. Someone has said that "a task without a vision is drudgery; a vision without a task is a dream; while a task linked to a vision will move the world." Not only did the king ask for a messenger, but he gave the message which the messenger was to utter (vv. 9-12). The message was to be to his own people; it was not to be a pleasant one. Verse 13 shows us this message in prophecy. Isaiah ought to fully proclaim the truth, but the people would not understand it, and the whole effect of his proclamation would be to harden them. What is your application of this vision for Isaiah? We are a Christian nation, but there are many degrees and kinds of Christians; those who sincerely try to follow Jesus; those who live under a Christian government, and are unaffected by Christian influences. There is only one way to save this nation from going the way of Nineveh and Tyre; that is, that justice and righteousness shall govern, and that justice and righteousness shall be the fruit of regenerated lives. The cry is for a better social environment and a more just social position. Church Director St. James A. M. E.
