DISCRIMINATION AGAINST NEGRO EMBARRASSES DISTRICT BOARD Failure of Government To Call Drafted Colored Men With Whites Causes Much Complaint. Larger Percent Of Whites Needed To Fill Quotas. Present Plan Works Injustice To Both White and Colored. VOL. VI. NO. 24 DISCRIMINATION AGAINST EMBAR DISTRICT Failure of Government Colored Men W Much Complaint Of Whites Need Present Plan W Both White and The Negro phase of the war draft has caused considerable complication in the efforts of the District Boards in filling out the required quotas, as ordered by the War Department. The plan of the Government is to have 855,000 drafted men in camp by October 3. About 70,000 of these should have been Negroes, but the order has been given to send only whites to the cantonments, yet the entire quotas must be filled. On account of the discrimination, in calling out men, the District Boards claim that the exploit instructions that no Negroes be sent will work a material hardship on some wards and districts. For instance, in St. Louis, in both the Sixth and Sixteenth Wards there was a shortage in the men that departed September 19 and 28 because of the explicit instructions that no Negroes were to be sent. Both of these wards, largely populated by Negroes, will be more than able to furnish the number called for when Negroes are included. "We can more than send the 40 per cent," declared A. M. Metta, executive officer of the ward, "but if the government insists on white men, it will be necessary to examine additional registrals. When we sent the first 40 per cent we were a few short of a sufficient number of white men to fill out the 40 per cent. Now this additional order for another 40 per cent, exclusively of white men, makes it impossible to comply. Situation Complicated "The quota for our ward is 170, and we have examined 340 registrals, from whom we have obtained about 190 men acceptable to service. Something more than half of the men, however, are Negroes. It is clear that we are ready to send the full quota of 170, as soon as the names are cleared through the District Board to the adjutant general, but since more than 50 per cent of the 170 first men on the list are Negroes, a strict compliance is impossible with out additional examination." If anything, the Sixteenth Ward is in a worse plight than the Sixth. Chairman Jules Greissen, at the time the men departed, September 22, was able to send only thirty-seven white men, although 40 per cent of his quota was fifty-two. Still another phase that embarrasses those wards where the Negro registrants are more than half, is that if the second 40 per cent of the quota is restricted to white men, it will leave only 15 per cent of Negroes to go on the final increment. The total number of the 15 per cent would not be sufficient to take in all of the Colored men within the order of the total of the quota. It has been pointed out that the plan is an injustice to both white and Colored, because the whites are being compelled to furnish more than their percentage and the Colored are not being called at all. DEPUTY KNOX GOES TO CHICAGO Mr. C. C. Cade, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, has arrived in St. Louis to assume the duties of Superviving Deputy of the Eastern Missouri District of the American Woodman, to succeed Mr. B. J. Knox, who has been assigned to Chicago. Mr. Cade is well informed and fully qualified to handle the work in this, one of the largest districts in the jurisdiction.

The St. Louis Argus FIRST CALL FOR NEGROES FOR THE NATIONAL ARMY WILL BE OCT. 3 Notification was received in East St. Louis yesterday from the War Department that the first call for Negroes to the National Army would be October 3. Most of the Negroes in East St. Louis registered from District No. 1. Of these fifty-three have been certified for the draft. Many others who left the city at the time of the riot have not reported to the Exemption Board. The above appeared in Thursday's Globe-Democrat. An Argus reporter called on the District Boards of East St. Louis to verify the statement, but they denied having received any order of the kind from the War Department and that all the information in the hands of the boards on the East Side was that no Negroes were to be selected at present. Upon inquiry at the office of the Appeal Board in St. Louis it was stated that they had no such order from the War Department and were making no preparations to call the Negroes for October 3. Judge Selden P. Spencer, chairman of the Appeal Board, stated that he thought that the Negroes would be called, but could not say just when. SENATE SEGHEGATES COLORED WOMEN Visitors Not Allowed to Sit in Same Gallery With White Women—Colored and White Men May Occupy the Same Gallery. Colored women visitors to the public galleries of the United States Senate are not allowed to occupy the ladies' galleries where white women may sit. Instead, they must occupy seats in the men's galleries where white and Colored men sit together. These are the facts as a result of investigation. This is the first time in the history of the United States Senate that such segregation has been made.—Washington Bee. Have The Days Of Miracles Passed? The days of miracles have not passed. The Rev.

Building at 3119 Lawton Leased by Steel Company Affords Place for Good Fellowship Among Members. "The Commonwealth Fellowship Club" is the conspicuous sign that may be seen on a building at 3118 Lawton Ave. The average passer-by who chance notice this sign, at once decides within themselves that another "lid club" has been opened in the neighborhood. But an investigation will soon prove to the confray. This club house is leased by the Commonwealth Steel Company of Granite City and it is placed at the disposal of their colored employees; that they may have a place for recreation after working hours. It is not run for gain; neither drinks nor gambling are permitted; nor is the place to be frequented by women. This is the condition under which the president of the Commonwealth Steel Company consented for the place to be opened. And the local officers of the club are proud of these restrictions and will see to it that they are carried out in letter and spirit. A few dormitory rooms for a limited number of men, two pool tables on which the men may play without charge, a nice library and reading room where race literature may be bad, are some of the things to be seen at this club. There are nearly 800 colored men employed by the company, most of whom live in St. Louis, and to have their social headquarters here is the most logical idea. The membership dues are 50 cents a month, and the money is used to supplement the allowance by the company in case of sickness or accident, and also for other charitable purposes. The officers of the club are Clifford Smith, President; Ed Thompson, Vice President, and S.M. McPherson, Secretary. Mr. Smith is loud in his praise of Mr. Howard, President of the Commonwealth Steel Company, for the interest he has taken in the colored men. He states that President Howard is a Christian gentleman. He also speaks in highest terms of Mr. A. T. Morey, General Superintendent of the Commonwealth Steel Company. "It is such men as these," said Smith, "among the white race, that are doing a great deal for the colored race. Mr. Howard and Mr. Morey always see to it that our boys get a square deal. Our men receive from $2.50 to $6.00 a day, and we appreciate what the officers are doing for us." The Common health Social Club rooms and beautiful lawn were thrown open to the public last Sunday afternoon, and the get-together spirit prevailed during the presentation of a short program. Mrs. M. Lee rendered a few beautiful vocal selections and Mr. .. presided at the piano. Short speeches were made by President C. Smith, Secretary McPerson, J. E. Mitchell, Col. W. H. Hughes, Dr. McManion, A. R. Fowler and G. Craven. Mr. Thomas acted as master of ceremonies. An abundance of refreshments was served by the members of the club. According to a statement appearing in the daily papers, a few days ago, the Central Branch Y. W. C. A. was unable to supply the demand for help, and that in many cases forty dollars a month for cooks was offered, and the employment department was unable to furnish the help. Wheaty Branch When questioned in regard to the calls for help at the Wheaty Branch Y. W. C. A., Mrs. Adams, assistant secretary, stated that good help was in great demand, and efficient help was at a premium. "Of course," said Mrs. Adams, "we have quite a few applicants for work who are inexperienced, and we have been able to place most of them at four and five dollars a week, but A No. 1 help is at a premium. We have a deal more calls for this kind of help than we are able to supply." Thirteen calls for help were registered Wednesday by ten o'clock, and it is stated that a like number, is registered each day. The employment bureau is very anxious to have the girls and women who desire work of any kind to file their application at once as the Association is in a position to secure the best places at the highest wages.

(Dad) Jones, 79 years old, of 3141 Pine St., was painfully injured by being run down, Wednesday evening, by an automobile driven by Harry Dore, 3010 Laclede Ave. The accident occurred on Garrison Ave, between Olive and Pine. Mr. Jones received lacerations on his face and body and is confined to his bed.

Eminent Commander of Onward Commandery. The funeral of Sir Milton P. Fields, aged 66 years, who died at his residence, 2757 LaSalle street, Friday of last week, was held Wednesday afternoon at All Saints Episcopal church, following ceremonies that were held over the deceased at his home Tuesday night, by the Lodge of Mystic Shrine. At the church, the Masonic lodges reverenced the Episcopalian church polity, and abridged a greater portion of their most impressive ceremonies in compliance with a request. In spite of the many irregularities that existed, the occasion was a scene of sadness. The 'deegased was a native of Cincinnati, O., and was distinguished as one of the highest Masons in this country. He was a Past Grand Commander and at the time of death Eminent Commander of Onward Commandery of this city. Sir Fields was a member of All Saints Episcopal church where he served as vestryman at one time. He served efficiently for many years as porter of the Wabash railroad chief executive's private car and later acting as chief messenger at the president's office, St. Louis headquarters. A concourse of friends, representing every department of Free Masonry, with an escort of Knights Templar, accompanied the remains to Greenwood cemetery, where they were interwed with solemn Masonic rites. The floral designs were numerous and most beautiful in their effect. A cross, made of carnations, presented by Guild Nov. 1, and the highly artistic design symbolizing a car, from the Wabash Railroad Company, commanded attention. Mr. Fields is survived by a wife and three children. Negro Saves His Employer's Money While about to board a northbound Jefferson avenue car last Saturday morning William Young, messenger for the Union Dairy, was attacked by a would-be robber who attempted to snatch a bag containing over five hundred dollars which Mr. Young was taking to the Jefferson Bank for his employer. Just how the robber knew Mr. Young had the money has not been determined by the police, but it is thought that he had received some inside information as to the hour the messenger went to the bank. Mr. Young stated that he did not realize at first just what the robber was doing. He thought some of the employees were playing with him. But when he saw it was a stranger he smashed him in the face and tightened his grip on the bag. During the scuffle the street car left the scene. The robber was soon put to flight, and Mr. Young returned to the office of the company with all the money intact and reported the affair. The employers of the Union Dairy Co. have # deal of confidence in Mr. Young, who has been with them for twenty-five years. The late Mr. Wood, the president of the company, who died recently, provided $75.00 a month to be paid Mr. Young as long as he lives. This is exclusive of any salary that may be paid Mr. Young for his services.

PRICE 5 CENTS EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE MAKES STRONG PROTEST Lynching and Discrimination Condemned by Big Gathering in New York. Deplore Undemocratic Treatment of Colored American Citizens in the Land of Their Birth, in Peace or War. Special to the Argus. New York, Sept. 22.—Vigorous protest against undemocratic treatment of Colored American citizens in the land of their birth by the national government in times of peace and in military arrangements in time of war were adopted by the National Equal Rights League at its 10th annual meeting in Mother Zion Church on West 136th street on Thursday of this week. Want Lynching Made Federal Crime In the report on Military Race Discrimination and in the formal address to the country separate officer training, soldier training and cantonment provision were vigorously denounced as based on race prejudice. President Wilson was quoted as giving the United States' mission in the European War to be that of real democracy and in turn the League demanded in precise terms that President Wilson abolish segregation of government clerks and recommended to Congress enactment of laws— (a) To enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments which forbid peonage and disfranchisement. (b) To make lynching a federal crime. (c) To forbid segregation by race in interstate travel, or in federal territory. Nearly 200 delegates were in attendance at the League meeting and at the Race Congress called by the League for deliberative purposes. Rev. M. F. Sydes, R. L., was elected president; Rev. J. W. Brown of Mother Zion and Rev. J. W. Hill, vice-president; Rev. E. P. Dixon of Massachusetts, secretary; Rev. W. S. Smith of New Jersey, chaplain; Mr. J. C. Ford of Michigan, sergeant-at-arms; Ree. Sydes, Rev. Hill, Mr. Ford, Hob. I. B. Allen of New York, Mrs. Ida B. W. Barrett of Illinois, A. B. Cosey of New York and M. T. Jones of Arkansas, were elected and accepted by the League as delegates to the National Liberty Congress at Washington, D. C., in December. Endorsement of a race pilgrimage to the National Capitol in the Liberty Congress to lay the grievances of the race before the federal authorities in December, and the raising of a fund to provide salary for a traveling organizer who should raise the means whereby to employ a legislative agent at Congress and organize the race to fight the battle for its rights, were outstanding features of the three days' session. A memorial resolution was adopted for the late Rev James E. Churchman, who died as National Organizer. "The Bar Sinister" is a drama of the modern South, a race discussion in which blacka, whites, Indians and mixtures of the three races figure. Racial plays of all sorts have been filmed—romantic ones, repulsive ones, stirring ones and melodramatic ones—but "The Bar Sinister," which has been described as Mr. Lewis' crowning achievement, unfolds a new side of the question and goes deeper into the heart of the subject than any of its predecessors. "The Bar Sinister" will be shown at the Pendleton Theater, Pendleton and Finney Avenues, Sunday, Sept. 30, Tuesday, Oct. 2, and Friday, Oct. 5. Matinee and night performances each day. For prices see page 8. PUBLIC MEETING A public meeting will be held at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Wednesday evening. Oct. 3, in recognition of the long public service of Rev. B. W. Stewart, the oldest minister in active service in the A. M. E. Church west of the Mississippi river. All friends interested in him and his work are cordially invited to be present and participate. The program will consist of reminiscence of the past progress of our race and the present outlook by some of the most prominent speakers. A number of musical selections will be rendered. Committee.

Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth. QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over twenty-five years' experience; this is a guarantee that QUINADE is as near pharmaceutically correct as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care and nothing enters this high class preparation unless it is of the highest purity. Seebys's QINASOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks. Both articles are sold by druggists and dealers at 25c each, or will be sent direct by Seebys Drug Co., 79 E. 130th St., New York City, on receipt of price.

We desire to express our sincere thanks to friends for the kindness and sympathy extended during the illness and death of our dear father, Allen Brown, who departed this life Sept. 18; also to Rev.

Mr. Jordan Wesley of East St. Louis, Ill., recently of 1526 Wash St., was born in Deaha County, Ark., A. D. 1872, reared in Lee and San Francisco Counties. Becoming of age, married and made his home at Wynne, Ark., where he accumulated a fortune. A. D. 1899, he moved to Memphis, Tenn., following up the line of work he was best prepared for, holding some of the best paying positions in the railroad shops of that city during his stay of fifteen years. Unions became so strong and abusive he was forced to give up the position he had held for many years with honor and trust, and sought other work, hence he located at East St. Louis and began a new line of work, which proved injurious to his health. He died Monday evening Sept. CARD OF THANKS CAED OF THANKS System taught by mail or at College For further information, write the SLAUGHTER SYSTEM 17, 1917.

Fleming, 4140 West Belle place; wife, Mrs. Corney, a little daughter, Florine, and a host of friends to mourn his loss. His remains were sent to Wynne, Ark., for burial, by Undertaker Green. MT.

SUTCLIFFE Of the Retention Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT—Having loved His own He loved them unto the end.—John 12:1 This text has in it much of comfort, strength and assurance for the Chri- 1 His Own Property. Christians belong to the Lord in at least a three-fold way. First by gift from the Father. In his prayer in John 17 our Lord says "thine they were and thou gavest them to me." They do not belong to themselves but to him—his own peculiar property, for they are his peculiar treasure. The man of this world may rejoice in the gift of gold and silver, but our Lord rejoices in the gift from the Father of those he is pleased to call his brethren. In the second place they are his own by purchase. He has paid to the utermost farthing and now can say to them "Ye are not your own, ye are bought with a price." That price was nothing less than his own precious blood poured out on the cross of Calvary. He gave his life for his sheep. He laid down' his life as a ransom for them. He was, the "merchantman seeking goodly pearls who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it." The title to ownership of every Christian is his. They are his own peculiar property. In the third place they are his by their surrender. As believers go on in their Christian life learning more and more of him, more and more do they surrender themselves to him. Some there are that try to withhold a part of themselves from him, but they are never happy, contented Christians. The fullness of blessing and of power never comes until in fullness of surrender the Christian yields himself unto the Lord, recognizing that he is indeed the property of him who loved him and gave himself for him. The measure of the Christian's daily peace and power is the measure of that Christian's surrender to the owner—the Lord Jesus. Peter exhorts the Christians to be "casting all your care upon him for he careth for you." This last sentence might be worded, "It is his business to care for you," and he will care for each one of his own. As they are his property, purchased by such a price, he will guard them from all harm, protect them from all evil and set a hedge round about them against all that might injure them. Sometimes hard things come into the Christian's experience, but these may be the only way he can guard them from danger. He had to guard David from coming to the throne unprepared by allowing many a hard experience to come to him. In the second place they are his own peculiar care to guide. How often would they, like sheep, go astray but for his care in guiding them. Sometimes, 'tis true, he leads them in paths that look from the outside most uninviting, but once in those paths the Christian discovers they lead beside the still waters into pastures green and fresh. In the third place they are his own peculiar care to provide for. His provision is new every morning and fresh at eventide. It is never old nor stale. His own miss much that he provides by being out of his place. He told the ravens where to place Elijah's food and he told Elijah where to go. His Own Loved. Having loved his own, he loves them to the end. Christians sometimes are tempted to think his love varies with their own changing affections. But he loves them always with the same unwearied love. Loves them in spite of failure, as the history of Peter so fully shows. Peter thought he would be ready to lay'down his life rather than forsake him. But how quickly he was put to shame by the question of a stranger maid. How pitiful the failure as the oaths slipped from his lips! But did the Lord's love weaken? Nay, rather it burned, if possible, a bit brighter in his great heart and flamed out from his eyes, bringing Peter back to the place of bitter tears through which he saw the path of return. In the second place, he loves his own in spite of backwardness. Think of him walking and talking with Philip for three years, instructing by example and by word all those days while he was about his Father's business, only at the end to find that Philip had not learned the first lesson, but must needs say, "Lord show as the Father," not knowing "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." How trying such backwardness, in, to the Great Teacher it did not leasen in any degree his love. The tender passion by which he held Philip was just as deep that moment when his backwardness was revealed as ever it was. Do not allow any hint that his love for you grows cold when you discover how little progress you have made. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By REV, P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English, Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright 1931, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 30 THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD. LESSON TEXT-Daniel 8:1-9. GOLDEN TEXT-The Lord is merciful and gracious, show to anger, and plenteous in mercy-Paulus 105:8. A profitable way to spend the hour would be to make a study of Daniel's prayer as recorded in the lesson assigned for our reading today, and have the lessons of the quarter as illustrations of the goodness and severity of God. Announcement of the plan may be made the Sunday before, and the different lessons of the quarter assigned to different members of the class to tell how they bear upon the tople of the lesson for this week. A broad analysis of Daniel's prayer is as follows: 1. Confession of the Nation's Sins (vv. 3:15). The circumstances of this prayer were extraordinary. The crisis was so serious that Daniel sought after prayer to the Lord with fasting, sack-cloth and ashes. In his confession the people's sins are placed in contrast with God's righteousness. He acknowledges that their sorrows and sufferings justly belong to them. Daniel, the holy man against whom there is no record of wrongdoing, includes himself with his people. 2. Supplication for Mercy and Forgiveness (vv. 16:19). He pleads for God's anger and fury to turn away, and his remembrance of the Holy City and his chosen people. The Lord's honor was at stake. He confesses that Israel had no merit, was utterly destitute of righteousness, and pleads consideration on the ground of covenant relationship. Another way to conduct the review would be to ask different members of the class to report on the different lessons by giving the vital and central teaching of each. The following are suggested as vital teachings of the several lessons: Lesson 1. God is absolutely holy, therefore those who have been sanctified by fire from the heavenly altar are qualified for his service. Lesson 2. He who turns away from the Lord shall be judged by the Lord. Lesson 3. In Hezekiah's reformatory work the Passover Feast was restored, showing that the only way to get people to return to God is to gather them around the Cross of Christ—the Atonement by Blood. Lesson 4. Though our unfaithfulness and cowardice have shamefully humiliated us, we should turn to God in prayer. Lesson 5. God's gracious invitation is extended to all without money and without price. Lesson 6. No mafter how wicked one may have been in his apostasy from God, if he sincerely repents, God will be found of him. Lesson 7. Regardless of one's age and experience, God can use him in doing mighty work if he will but open his heart unto him. Lesson 8. The Word of God found and read will mightly convict of sin, and transform one's life and environment. Lesson 9. God's predictions as to the captivity of Israel were fulfilled to the letter. Nothing shall fall of that which God has said he will do. Lesson 10. Jehovah is the shepherd of captive Israel, and will surely gather them out from their wanderings and save them. Lesson 11. One should be unflinchingly loyal to God under all circumstances. Lessons 12 and 18. God is able to deliver those who trust him, from fire and from wild beasts. God loves us too much to let what would hurt us stay with us. So, because of this love, he himself is willing to hurt us in order to save us from the greater hurt. Probing is done in order to get rid of something that would injure. And so, as Prebendary Webster has said: "Do not be afraid of God's, probing. He never wounds except to heal: He never humbles except to exalt. Do let God deal with you; do not be afraid of his probing." Most of us have been afraid of it; we may be dreading it just now. We shall not fear if we remember what kind of love is back of it: that all-sacrificing love that died for us on the cross. So we can safely, gladly let ourselves go utterly into his hands and ask those nall-plevered hands to do with us what they will. Then he can begin to show us his love as we may never yet have known the meaning of love.—Sunday School Times. Need to Catch Vision of God.

THEATRES KING COMPANY MAKES BIG HIT WITH "DRAFTED INTO THE ARMY" Musical Comedy at Booker Washington Theatre This Week, Rivals Other Productions. Billy King, the comedian and playwright, is the author of more than a hundred modern comedies and dramas, all of which are copyrighted. There are a number of "acts" and companies, however, who are counterfeiting his productions and the enduring theater goers have had to pay the penalty. St. Louisans have paid their share. The musical comedy, "Drafted" being shown at the Booker Washington Theater this week, however, is a King comedy by a King company, and as a result the patrons are enjoying one of the best productions ever seen here. It is a well geared, smooth running, harmonious playlet with a reason for its comedy situations and fitting specialties. The craftiness of the talented producer is seen in every number presented by the artistic performers. There is a finish and polish to their work that is not noticeable in the usual performances. The comedy lines and actions are extremely funny, without a hint of uneasefulness. The musical numbers are melodious; the dances and marches are original and sprightly. Billy Higgins and John Jeekina are the funmakers, and they keep the audience continually laughing. Specialties are introduced by Higgins, Strain, Theressa Brooks and Genevie Stern. Numerous choruses and dances are presented by the company. Every number scores heavy applause. The engagement will close Sunday night. The company has clearly won The engagement will close Sunday night. The company has clearly won an invitation to return to St. Louis and should break all attendance records during its next engagement. NEXT WEEK Four good vaudeville acts will make up the bill at the Booker Washington Theater next week. King Williams, with his eight dogs and two monkeys, are entertaining. The character impersonations by the little dumb animals are wonderful. Plenty of comedy. Eddie West and Emma Frederick, with a lively skit of fun and frolic, Blanch Russell, a singing comedienne, and Dudley and Dudley and Dudley, a comedy singing and dancing act, will round out a bill of excellent quality. Valayda and her company of "Brazilian Nuts," are at the Grand this week. Joe Russell and company passed through St. Louis, going south, last Sunday. Froney Welski and wife of Kansas City were in St. Louis this week arranging to take out a minstrel troupe. The Comet Odeon has secured the Artezaft and the Paramount service and will be able to show the productions featuring the Famous Players for the first ting to Colored patrons. The picture for Sunday will be Pauline Frederick in "Sold," the celebrated emotional drama in five acts. When a man owns his home it gives the public increased confidence in him.
