"On guard!" That is what I want to say to you today. Your country is at war. Our country-yours and mine—is plunging into the greatest war the world has ever known, in defense of liberty, civilization and justice. Not for conquest, not for territory, but for the right of men to pursue life, liberty and the things which the United States needs. These goals are worth fighting for. She faces more thing for colonies, dynasties or conquest. She fights for the rights of men. "Over there"—oyyr in France and Belgium—Americans of every race and color are standing to their guns in defense of those things which every American holds most dear. They are offering their very lives in defense of the principles laid down by the founders of this country; they are willing to sacrifice all for the cause of justice in defense of the state in an inspiring thought that in this age we have been characterized as a commercialized age, men are willing—so very willing—to fight for what they consider the truth and the right. It refutes the oft repeated insinuation of the enemy that Americans have only a dollar patriotism. It confirms us in the belief that America today is more closely knit than she has been at any time since the American Revolution; that today the American people are united as they have never, before been united. We who are working each in our own way at home, are awaiting the call to duty should be on guard against disloyalty. "On guard!" Against disloyalty in whatever form it may come to you. There are many appeals to your sentiment, to your ease, to your, cowardice—or to whit the other fellow supposes is your cowardice. There are many men who like to dwell upon the dangers of the battlefield to weaken your resolve to do your bit for your country. There are many men who point out to you the discomforts which war brings upon all men, insinuate that there is no need for that war, and protest and argue against doing things which are necessary to be done. "On guard!" Against those who would plunge you into useless strife with other American citizens at the time when we should all stand together. "On guard!" Against that love of case and idleness which lies in the heart of every frail human being and which must be hold sterly in chuck, especially in such times as these. "On guard!" Against the selfish purpose which may lie behind your apparent desire to serve. Remember that your country is fighting unselfishly. See that you do the same, whether you fight with the gun or with the hoe, with the pen, or in any way, shape or fashion. Remember that this is not a time to pick choices. Do what you can best do to choose. Do what you can best do to serve in that capacity, but do not withhold your service simply because you need to do exactly what you would like to do. And above all, be on your guard against any swerving of allegiance to your country and your flag. Of all the attributes of a patriot and a good citizen, loyalty is the paramount one. You may be loving, able, brave, but if you are not loyal you are a menace to your cause. A moral may be provided with thousands of troops, all well armed, well equipped, well provided with heavy artillery and all of the devices of modern warfare, but if his men are not loyal he is, to all intents and purposes, unarmed and helpless. Loyalty, absolute loyalty, in the first lesson we must learn. It is an attribute, which we must carry with us into every phase of our daily life until it becomes as fixed and uninhabable as our own ego. Loyalty to your school, your business, your race, your country, your God. We must honor and support our own men in business and in the professions. We must love, respect and protect our own women. We shall never give our race its proper place among the races of men as long as we believe that everything that is good is white and everything that is bad is black. Loyalty is the grateful acknowledgment of a sense of obligation for benefits conferred. We all know what concept awaits the college slacker who betrays his college or the agent who betrays the trust repressed in him by his employer to a rival concern. A thousand times more deserving of concept is the man who is disloyal to his race, is country or his God. In道德 life we do not find it difficult to square that assent do corps which is called the school spirit. In churches the truly religious and enthusiastic for the religious rite and rene contagious.

Fire completely destroyed the storage building and express office of S. C. Sydner, 4217 W. Belle, last Saturday night. The office fixture, several loads of *e* furniture, one horse and two horses, the damage was about $3000. Y. M. C. A. IS GREAT $25,000 ROSEWALD CONDITIONS MET Twenty-five thousand dollars, the magnificent gift of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, was added to the Building Fund of the Pine Street Department Y. M. C. A., on January 1st. The offer of this princely gift was made two years ago, when Mr. Rosenwald agreed to be $2,000,000. That $400,000 should be raised in St. Louis to a Y. M. C. A., for colored men. This offer created unprecedented gatsbyism and brought a union of effort unparalleled before in our community life. St. Louis said, "What other cities had done, she could do," and the campaign of 1915, $69,000 was subscribed by the Colored people. $2,000 has been paid in on these pledges of $89,000. In order to meet Mr. Rosenwald's condition that $50,000 should be spent before his gift was available, the General Board of the St. Louis Y. M. C. A., put in $25,000 of their subscription; thus making Mr. Rosenwald's gift available at this time. St. Louis is the sixth city in the country to actually receive Mr. Rosenwald's gift. Four other cities are in the race for this gift. This unusual show of interest, coupled with the splendid gift of Mr. Rosenwald is bound to create enthusiasm among every race-leaving man and woman in St. Louis. It ought to do more. This should inspire every man, woman and child who subscribed to the Pine St. Department Y. M. C. A., to make good progress and among that worthy group of citizens who have paid in full their pl�dres. It is a sort of celebration of this event. Bishop Wm. A. Quayle will address a Y. M. C. A. meeting on nort Sunday afternoon at Metropolitan Church at 4:00 p.m. Bishop Quayle is one of the upstanding men of the world and doubless a large number of men and women will hear his address. REGRETS AND THANKS FOR 1917 AND WISHES FOR 1918 The year, of 1917, was one of the most eventful years in American history. Some of the most dastardly deeds that were ever perpetrated upon a Nation and people, were committed. We regret that the United States had to enter into this world war, with Germany and her Allies, although she was right in her contentions; we regret the awful catastrophe that happened at our door E. St. Louis; we regret the episode with which the Colored soldiers were connected in the state of Texas, and many other incidents of like happenings. In the midst of the above, we are thankful for the blessings of God, that come to us in St. Louis, and as a race in general; we are thankful for the splendid demonstration of the white people in coming to the help of the refugees, from the awful calm that came, to our people in E. St. Louis; We are thankful for a City Government, whose right is it to protect all the people for coming to our relief in midnight hours; we are thankful for the Red Cross, that came so nobly to assist the people in coming to help people; are are exceedingly thankful to the Supreme Court of the United States, for the fatal blow, to that un-American, un-Democratic and unChristian doctrine of segregation, which it declared to be unconstitutional. Segregation is dead for ever; we are thankful for the training and for the commission of Negro soldiers in the United States army. There are many glorious things for which we are thankful, but 1917 has gone and her deeds, good or bad have become a matter of history. But forgetting the things which are behind, we must, press forward to the things which we hope to see accomplished in the year 1918: Rev. B. G. Shaw, Pastor of Metro politan A. M. E. Zion. Church.

Committee Finds General Conditions Good. Gifts of St. Louisians Presented to Boys on Xmas Eve, at Y. M. C. A. St. Louis Gifts Best. Holidays Were St. Louis Days at Camp Funston. By W. Silas Fearance The "Boosters" committee of your Messrs. Hall, Hall, Botts and Fearance, left St. Louis Saturday night, Dec. 22 at 10:10 p.m. over the Missouri Pacific and arrived at Camp Funston Sunday evening at 4:15 p.m. From the time of arrival until the departure of said committee there was not an idle moment. Lieut. B. E. Watkins met the Boosters" with a detail of St. Louis board and they were them escorted to quarterback and they were introduced after a mess and introductions to many officers the committee was escorted to the Y. M. C. A. Hut, where they met the 650 St. Louis draftees. Father Yan Lou who has charge of this spot of joy, did everything within his power to make things comfortable for the Boosters. After the jollification meeting at the "Hut," it was announced that the Xmas gifts from St. Louis would be distributed on Xmas eve at 7 o'clock. Monday morning, we moved to the assembling of the gift and an interview arranged for the "Boosters," with Maj. Gen. Ballen, commander of 2nd Div., by Lieut. B. E. Watkins. Arriving at headquarters the committee were presented to Major Whipple, Adj. of 2nd, who cordially received them and in turn introduced them to the Commanding Officer. This busy man gave a thirty minute interview to the "Boosters" complimenting them for their effort and the spirit displayed by the Colored citizens of St. Louis. He gave a very fatherly and instructive talk to the committee pointing out to them how they could co-operate with the government in many ways and exert their influence. The "Boosters" take up certain forms of work that will be announced later. The privileges of the camp were extended to them. First Meal With Privates It was the desire of the officers that we get a real taste of army life as the private see and know it; therefore, our first meal with the drafted men. All of the boys were clamoring for us, but we chose the mess of Sorgt. Frank Slaughter and we happened to be there on meatless days. The food was wholesome, and plenty of it, we were informed that this, meatless day, was the poorest meal of all and if that is a fact St. Louisans and parents throughout the country may rest assured that Uncle Sam is taking good care of his boys. Monday Night Some Show Xmas eve all St. Louisians' steps were directed toward the Y. M. C. A. Hut, where the presents from St. Louis were distributed at "o clock, and if it was ill, all will be made this of the "Boosters" and made this thing possible, had beard the words "praise and seen the expressions of satisfaction of the St. Louis boys they would have been amply repaid. We do not say this as a matter of boast, but as a matter of pride that St. Louis through the "Boosters" sent the best kit to the St. Louis Colored boys of the 92nd Div; that was sent anywhere in the country, white or black. The Yuletide holidays were St. Louis days at Camp Funston. After the distribution of presents the packages for those who were not present were turned over to Serg. William Anderson and Lieut. B. E. Watkins. After this meeting of all St. Louisians, the officers took home as many Officers and Privates has possible crowded in, to see the special show under the auspices of Liceus. B. E. Watkins and Hamilton arranged for the entertainment of the "Boosters." Some show. Xmas a Day of Fun and Eats Xmas a Day of Fun and Eats Xmas day was a day of fun and enjoyment. Something doing from 8:30 a.m., only stopping for dinner and then resuming until late in the afternoon. All kinds of races, tugs of war and other sports were the morning programme, and then came that Xmas dinner and such a dinner as only the wealthy of the land sat down to Xmas day. Turkey, and more turkey, all of the trimmings, vegetables, cakes, and desserts, were served. It felt that not a family in St. Louis sat down to a better meal on Xmas day than did the boys of the 92nd Div., at Camp Funston. The afternoon was given over to a football game between the regulars and the boys of the Medical Corps. A fine game and one worth seeing. It ended 0 to 1. Lieut. Ben H. Mosby, formerly of Summer High is coach of the regulars. General Conditions All kinds of reports have come down from: Camp Funston, but here are the conditions as the "Boosters" found them. We found that the soldiers are well fed, clothed, shod and good warm steam heated barracks to sleep in. Very little sickness and the boys in general doing fine. St. Louisans being in good favor and numbering about three fifths of the Non Commissioned Officers. The duty was not what we had been led to believe, because, whereas a man goes on guard 24 hours, he only works 8 BIG BATTLE OF FLOWERS BALL Monday night, Jan. 21st, at Pythian Temple, one of the biggest, and best balls of the season will be given.

An Exponent Of Truth and Justice PRICE 5 CENTS 8 MORE NEGRO SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN SENTENCED Five Tried In Last Court-Martial At San Antonio, Are To Hang. Three Get Ten Year Sentences. President To Review Cases Before Execution San Antonio, Tex., January 2—Five of the Negroes tried by the last court-martial in connection with the Houston riots have been sentenced to be hanged, according to the verdict of the court, announced by Maj. Gen. Rockman this morning. They areIVATE the Collier Theos. McDougall, Jawaharlah Robinson, Joseph Smith and Albert D. Wright, all of Company I, Twenty-fourth United States Infantry. Execution of the sentences will be suspended until after the case is reviewed by President Wilson. Three of the fifteen tried were sentenced to ten years at Leavenworth and seven to seven years each. President Wilson had prohibited the execution of any more American soldiers—except in Pershing's forces abroad—before the sentence of the court-martial has been reviewed in Washington. This time this has not been necessary in war time, but the President has made the rule that it may be made doubly sure that no injustice is done. Thirteen Negro troopers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry were recently executed for the sloting at Houston. Texas, without review at Washington. TUSKEGEE NEGRO CONFERENCE Preparations are under way already for the annual Tuskegee Negro Confer-ence which is to be held here January 16th and 17th, 1918.

How to make this prosperity in the face of the war conditions will be taken up by the conference. The session will be "Meeting the Needs of the War Situation." Invitations are being sent to a group of speakers of national importance and national reputation; men whose activities are now very pronounced in the various problems of defense and con-ference. Principal R. R. Moton has received information that special delegations from Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi will attend the conference. Application has been made to the Southeastern Passenger Association for special rates on all railroads.

SIX O'CLOCK DINNER IN HONOR OF CALIFORNIA GUEST One of the most popular events of the waning old year was the six o'clock dinner Sunday, December 30, at the residence of Mrs. Marla Hobson, 2012 Lawton Ave., in honor of Miss Bessie Graye of San Francisco, California, Miss Graye, who is a former St. Louisan, has resided in San Francisco for the past two years, and is the house guest of Mrs. Hobson for a fortnight. The following guests enjoyed a six course menu: Miss Bessie Graye, Mme. Louisan, has resided in San Francisco; Miss A. W. Guinn, Miss L. Lewis, Miss Mrs. Williams, Mrs. H. McDaniels, Miss Lilea Ivern Hampton, Mr., and Mrs. D. P. Craig of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Mrs. Sara Price of New York City; Messara Henry Wilson, J. R. Gordon, Bob. Barnett, Richard D. Barnett, L. Owens, W. H. King, Dr. S. F. Phillips, N. Copeland and T. C. McGhee. After the dinner had been served, a majority of the guests made up a box party at the Booker Washington Theater. A feature of the dinner was the first course, which consisted of opossum skin potatoes, eracking bread and baked peas. This old Southern dish seemed to meet the approval of all the guests to the extent that but little attention was paid to the durkey and trimmings. The parliars and dining room were effusively decorated with ferns and cut flowers. COMING SOON! Dolly Dimpies at the battle of Flowers' Ball, Monday night, Jan. 21st, at Pyrtle Temple.

St. Louis, Missouri The members and friends of the Metropolitan Church feel that while the Old Year brought many sad hours to the nation, perhaps the saddest ever come to the American people, caused by the world's war, and too, some of the greatest calamities that have ever come upon the lives had been caused. But as a local church, there are many wonderful churches that have come to them, both spiritually and financially. It is hoped they will come the New Year with greater zeal than ever before. Sunday morning the Pastor will deliver his first sermon in the beginning of his 8th year pastorate with this great church. Dr Shaw is very grateful to his many members and friends, white and Colored, who have so loyally supported his efforts in a religious way. On being asked what were his greatest desires for the year 1918, his answer was, "A great amount of energy and courage and out of a pure heart, to better serve God, my Country and my Race, and a thorough establishment of a Social Center, and above all lasting Peace for the World." Watch meeting night found the church inadequate to accommodate all who gathered there. Many joined the church. Revival will begin Sunday, January 6, in a series of cottage prayer meetings, which will be the programme for the first week, and on the second Sunday the Evangelist will be present. The Metropolitan Church wishes to extend to its many members and friends A HAPPY NEW YEAR'S GREETING TO ALL, and also extends a cordial welcome to her beautiful and palatial auditorium. Come early Sunday morning. THE INSTITUTION OF FATHER CLARKE AT ALL SAINTS BY RISHOP TUTTLE The new Rector, the Rev. D. R. Clarke, will be formally instituted Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. There will be very elaborate service, conducted by the Rt. Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle, Bishop of the Diocese of Missouri. The choir will render special music. The other services for the day will be as usual. All are cordially invited to be present. WOMAN'S UNION AUXILIARY The Woman's Union Auxiliary will meet Sunday afternoon at Bethel Baptist Church, 729 South 4th St. Everybody is cordially invited. A very interesting program will be rendered. The president requests that all of the members be present at the first meeting of the new year and begin with renewed vigor to do better work this year. Our rally Sunday at El Bethel was quite a success. An excellent sermon on giving was preached by Rev. J. W. HALL. The paper by Mrs. P. W. Riggina on giving and how to give was grand. Mrs. A. Hall, president; Mrs. Beatrice Coker, secretary. SEVEN CHURCH RAPTINT UNION The Seven Church-Baptist Union will meet Monday night at El Bethel Baptist Church, 638 Athlone Ave. This is our first meeting for the new year and we extend an invitation to all to come and help make this a good meeting. Rev. Coffey, pastor of the Pilgrim Baptist Church, is the speaker of the hour. Come and hear this excellent speaker. Don't forget the date, Jan. 7, 1918. All pastors and churches of the union are expected to be present. Rev. J. W. Hall, president; Rev. L. E. Moll, secretary. ST. JAMES CHURCH The Man of the Hour It was the Divine Hand of Providence that directed Bishop Parra when he appointed Dr. W. H. Peck to the pastorate of St. James two years ago. Rev. A. A. Gilbert, the veteran pastor and financier, had a successful administration, but his time was up and he was called to another field. As our church is located in an educational center with large institutions of learning surrounding it, our good Bishop, realizing the need for a man intellectually, morally and spiritually strong, sent Dr. Peck, better known as the "Little Giant" to cope with the situation. He has been equal to the task and proven that he is a "tower of strength" He is an important factor in every civic, economic, industrial and spiritual movement that tends to raise the standard of Christianity higher among his race. As a pulpitere, he is the peer of any in the city or connection. He has proven his ability as a financier and business man by his methods of raising and disbursing the church finances. From a membership of $20 the church has grown to $595. The increase of $100 in Dollar Money last year is unprecedented by churches west of the Mississippi. Dr. Peck has made his name immortal with the A. C. E. workers by editing the "Yade Mecquen." His message of love and inspiration to the young people has gone throughout the entire connection. Only Endeavorers can fully appreciate the priceless value of this little volume. We wish for Dr. Peck at the beginning of this new year a long life filled with noble deeds and great achievements, and as Bryant no beautifully says: "So live that when his summons comes to join The innumerable caravan that moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Go not like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach his grave, Like one who wraps the draperies of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams." Sunday School The Canista, "Santa Clara Pared" Poch," presented by the children last Wednesday evening, was a decided success. The Sunday school is rapidly growing under the leadership of our efficient Superintendent, Miss Shoulder. Our primary department is a veritable kindergarten. Miss Grace Williams and her able assistants are making it the best of its kind in the city among the Colored churches. Dr. Peek has been indisposed, but we are glad to report his rapid improvement. You are cordially invited to worship with us next Sunday. Holy Sacrament will be administered at the morning and evening services. Sunday morning Pastor Perry pushed an excellent sermon at El Bethel dealing with the characteristics of Jesus. The Christmas week was joyously spent. The members of the church and Sunday school presented the pastor with $13.15. The watch meeting was largely attended. Mr. Edw. Garth, who was seriously injured by a street car is able to be out again. Pastor Perry and wife, Wife, and Mr. Shep. Fountain were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Higgins on New Year's night. El Bethel was successful in sequencing eight of its members to join the Red Cross society and the pastor is glad to know that some of his members are patriotic. Next Thursday night will be our regular church meeting and we hope to settle up all our work and be ready for the new year's work. Rev. W. W. Perry, pastor; Mrs. M. S. Kunin, secretary. VICTOR SPIRITUAL CHURCH The Vietor Spiritual Church, .2014 Pine St., sent out fourteen baskets of groceries to the poor in various parts of the city, Christians, and also clothes and shoes to some. Thanking our many friends for their kindness, we as members of Vietor Spiritual Church wish all a prosperous new year. Mrs. J. D. Duke, rector; Mrs. G. Donihie, secretary. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH By Soda Pillow Our congregation listened to a very helpful and inspiring sermon last Sunday morning, praised by Dr. Maxwell, subject: "What Message Did Christmas Bring You?" We saw Christmas and its celebration in a new light, and all present even the discouraged and sad ones, realized after such an instructive sermon that Christmas brought a great deal more to every man, woman and child, than the average individual recognizes or appreciates. At 3:00 p.m. the District Grand Household of Ruth held memorial services in honor of Mra. Liqua Young the First District Most Noble Governor, and faithful member of our church for over 30 years. The services were very beating and had the true ring of the highest respect for this remarkable Christian worker and fraternal leader. Our B. Y. P. U. under the leadership of our beloved president, Mrk. Irene Maxwell, wife of our pastor, is indeed forgiving ahead. The attendance has been usually good and collections fine. The president reported over $15,000 cleared from a sook serial of recent date. A crowded house observed watch night service in a good old fashioned way. Prayer and praise service, roll call by the clerk and at 15 o'clock every person bowed on their knees and thanked God. A number of happy souls were reclaimed and four were happily converted and will be baptized Sunday morning at 11 o'clock service. The pastor will deliver his new year's message Sunday morning and sound the key-note of our work for 1918: Hear him. All are welcome. "The Mother Church, a Home like Church." SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN UNION CHURCH Spiritual Christian Union Church, 2327 Lawton Ave. Services Sundays and Friday evenings at 8:00 o'clock sharp. J. S. Weatherford, rector, assisted by L. Cooper); M. Owens, secretary. M.T. OLIVE RAPTIST CHURCH 1435 M. 123h Bd. The watch meeting on Monday night closed, a most wonderful year of activities and we are thankful to say we have prospects of even greater things as we enter this new year. Looking backward through 1917 we are forced to bow our heads in reverent thanksgiving to God, for his many gracious blessing; He has prospered and blessed our every undertaking and our faith is renewed our hopes restored by His ever mindful care, and with undaunted spirit we face 1918 with this as our motto. "The World for Christ." Last Sunday was spent in a glorious covenant. Tuesday night we began revival meeting which will last ten days. We earnestly ask whoever will to join us and help us to go onward and upward to victory, with God for our leader in all things. Rev. D. W. Morris, Pastor. WAYMAN A. M. R. CHURCH BR A. P. Pruce Services at Wayman last Sunday were conducted by Presiding Elder J. D. Barksdale, who preached on the birth of our Saviour, and made it plain that the Saviour had been brought from the time he was born until today. At 3 p.m. Dr. Johnson, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, delivered a wonderful sermon which his hearers enjoyed. At 8 p.m. the presiding elder preached on the kind of armor the Christians should wear in order to carry on Christian warfare. Two persons were added to the church. Watch meeting services were largely attended. A full board of trustees was elected for the ensuing year. Dr. A. N. Vaughan, a recent member, was placed on the official board. Rev. Dobbins and members are well pleased with the past year's work and the future of the church looks brighter. The pastor preached an inspiring sermon on the partnership with Christ. Five united with the church and a score came forward for prayer. We hope to see the church filled next Sunday to hear the pastor's great discourse. Stranglers and visitors are cordially invited. Wayman A. M. E. Church, corner 23rd and Wash Sta.

It is needless to say that they were not disappointed because the "Little Giant" in the ministry seemed to have made undue preparation for the occasion. Many were the "amena" and at the conclusion several came forward and united with the church. After the conclusion of the service, First Lieut. B. P.

The lieutenant assured us that the boys in the cantonments are doing their duty, and outlined as we in many ways by which we can do our duties our dates Black and White Ointment Sold Everywhere.

As we understand, and is sweeping in its scope, in that a Victor general, so these shall be no misgiving people of this country have looked at, cause government ownership of railroads, the "Jim Crow" cars through the South, due to the health and comfort of those compelled to ride in such cars under the law. It was a result of the proclamation, but continued to conserve steam and manpower in other channels to help win the war. Impelled to carry the cursed "Jim Crow" race prejudice. The state laws will have no standing before the executor of the United States. Phase of the question is, it is supposed that the United States fosters no discriminatory citizens on account of race, color or what is true, then, goodbye "Jim Crow" or real directors whose duties it shall be to order fail to discontinue the "Jim Crow" act, it will be, the duty of Director General to that effect. Agreement of this order will have a far fewer principalities of the South which have seen that it will enable them to better see and, no doubt, will seek to amend. December 28, the President of the United States issued a proclamation giving the government of the United States charge of all the railroads in the country. As we understand it, it is a war necessity and is sweeping in its scope, in that a Cabinet officer is made director general, so there shall be no misgivings as to who is in control. The Colored people of this country have looked with favor on the plan because government ownership of railroads immediately abolishes the "Jim Crow" cars through the South, which have been a menace to the health and comfort of those of the race who have been compelled to ride in such cars under the prevailing conditions. Already, as a result of the proclamation, hundreds of cars have been discontinued to conserve steam and man power which can be used in other channels to help win the war. The railroads have been compelled to carry the cursed "Jim Crow" car which is the price of the race prejudice. The state laws which permitted the practice, will have no standing before the executive order of the President of the United States. Another phase of the question is, it is supposed that the government, if the United States fosters no discrimination against any class of its citizens on account of race, color or previous condition. If that is true, then, goodbye "Jim Crow" cars on all railroads. If the local directors whose duties it shall be to carry out the President's order fail to discontinue the "Jim Crow" cars on the railroads, then, it will be the duty of Director General McAdoo to issue an order to that effect. / The enforcement of this order will have a far reaching effect upon the municipalities of the South which have separate street car systems, in that it will enable them to better see the folly of their actions, and, no doubt, will seek to amend. NEGROES AND THE RED CROSS Cross campaign for members in St. Louis. The desired quota was exceeded by the Negro citizens respond? Did the actions? We are anxiously awaiting some Red Cross Campaign Committee as to read; while waiting, we have gone through were most of the residents are Negroes a The Red Cross campaign for members in St. Louis was a wonderful success. The desired quota was exceeded by many thousands. How did the Negro citizens respond? Did they measure up to the expectations? We are anxiously awaiting some official notice from the Red Cross Campaign Committee as to the part our race has played; while waiting, we have gone through the sections of the city where most of the residents are Negroes and the presence of Red Cross service flags in windows has imbued us with the idea that Negro citizens of St. Louis are almost 100 per cent. Red Cross members. We have observed the Red Cross service flags in windows of Negro homes where poverty seemed to also dwell. We know of cases, where the precious dollar that had been saved to purchase the Christmas dinner, was cheerfully given for the Red Cross cause and the giver possibly ate his Christmas dinner at some five cent lunch counter. We are told that an old woman, when solicited gave her last sixty cents, and with tears in her eyes, expressed regret that it was the best she could do. The solicitor gave her a service flag and added the additional amount to make the dollar. This old woman received from an unknown source the next day, a basket laden with food and a crisp new five dollar bill. Many other instances of 100 per cent. loyalty have been brought to our attention. Those who have waited for an opportunity to herald the race as slackers have but to go through the sections of the city where the residents are for the most part Negroes, then go through some sections of the city where the residents are exclusively white, the comparison will serve as a lasting lesson. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BOOSTERS We congratulate the Boosters Committee on the success of their campaign to "Put the Fuh in Funston," by soliciting and raising more than a thousand dollars for gifts. We are in receipt of several letters of appreciation from the St. Louis draftees who were recipients. The gentlemen who compose the committee deserve unlimitted credit. They are "live wires;" men who do things, possessed of the spirit that inspires race pride, and a valuable asset to the welfare of the people. Here's to their future success; may they be encouraged to even nobler deeds. fats are fuel for fighters bake-boil-and broil more — fry less United States Food Administration throat of the fighting man. But it is behind the lines where loyalty fails, if at all. It is behind the lines that doubts creep in and that men are corrupted and led astray. It is outside the churches that the pious listen to the scoffer. It is in the desire to impress people of another color that the Negro grows ashamed of his own race instead of proving his right to be proud of it. The man who is ashamed of his race can never be anything but a repressor to it. The man who is ashamed of his country can never be anything but a disgrace to it; the man who is ashamed of his religion any time, any place has no right to call himself a Christian. On guard, then, against the man who seeks to make you ashamed of your religion; on guard against the vanity and the false pride which tends to make you ashamed of your race; on guard against the enemy in disguise who strives to make you betray your country by word or deed. You want to be proud of your race, your country, your religion. You have reason to be. You are entitled to the pride the justifiable pride—that comes of the knowledge that your lot is cast with those who accomplish great things. You have good reason to be proud of your race. No other race has accomplished so much in such a space of time as the American Negro since he was enfranchised and made a man among men. From Booker T. Washington to Paul Laurence Dunbar, what other race can show a more representative roll of honor than the Negro race? What other race has enlarged from slavery to take its place in the learned professions, in business, in politics, in such a space of time! hours, during the 24 hours. Working 2 hours and resting 4 hours, working on shift system. We found that the Y. M. C. A. "Hut," under Father Van Lou, and the K. of C. Bldg., under W. t. James were the havens of rest for the boys, all kinds of sports and amusements being arranged for their comfort at these two places. The only thing we found lacking, was a community house for our women whenever they should visit their husbands, brothers or sons. This is a crying need and should be taken up by the Colored people throughout the states of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska; as these are the states that send Colored boys to unston. A Fine Set of Men The Colored Officers' at Camp Funston are as fine a set of men as the sun ever shone upon. They are gathered from the four corners of the U. S. The stay of the "Boosters" was made wonderfully pleasant, because of the opportunity of coming into contact with such men. They have the respect of their men and Commanding Officers and are demonstrating every day that the Negro can deliver the goods not only as a Private but as an Officer and gentleman. The "Boosters" have nothing but praise for all of the Officers, but take this method of thanking them for their hospitality and especially Lieuts. Watkins, Brown, Mosby, Anthony and Harold of St. Louis, Capta. Day, Davis, Lieuts, Neeley, Washington, Fearance and a host of others. Chairman Ill The executive meeting of the "Boosters" scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 3, was postponed because of the illness of chairman Mills, who is confined to his bed.

Camp Logan, Houston, Tex.-St. Louis Argus, Dear Editor: I am of having the opportunity of wishing you and the whole city of St. Louis a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and wish the Argus a successful business year. I am now in camp doing duty for Culee Sam. I have thought of home every minute of this week, and I thank the City of St. Louis for our happiness in camp. I remain as ever, yours; Jesse Uell. Co. M., 370th Inf. First Sergt. Wm. W. L. Anderson, Co. C., 349th Machine Gun Battalion, spent New Years with his St. Louis friends. He speaks a good word for Capt. Baurbour. Wm. Henry Dobbs, 370th Inf., Co. D., Camp Logan, Houston, 1ex, writes that the boys there are receiving the best treatment possible but are just beginning to realize the grave duty the government has placed on their shoulders. He says they need the prayers and encouragement of the people back home. A few words of cheer to the boys will mean much to them at this time. Jesse B. Short, recently transferred from Camp Pike, Little Rock, to St. Louis, is clerk in the Q. M. O. at the Arsenal. He is the first Negro to be assigned to a clerkship in the history of the service in this city. Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill.—Since the secretary of war made the statement that the Colored boys here would be included in the troops detailed for duty under Gen. Ferdinand in France, it has been noticeable that every man here has been on his tiptoes every minute. The result is that the 173 already have been hade corporals and sergeants. The Colored boys are being highly praised by their superior of soo I wish to express my thanks to the Colored Girl's Club of St. Louis, of which Miss Bertha Ball is secretary. On Dec. 23, 1917, Miss Ball came down with a large basket of fruits, candy, etc., and presented to every Colored patient in the hospital, a nice token of charity which was highly appreciated by all, it being the first Colored gift that has ever been made to this hospital. May the God of heaven pour out his blessings upon them. Miss M. E. Crowd, Attending Nurse.

It was in a country across the sea, far away from here, that some shepherds were watching their flocks one night. The sheep were resting on the grass, the little lambs were fast asleep beside their mothers, but the kind shepherds were not asleep. They were watching that no harm should happen to the sheep. Perhaps they were looking up at the stars and the beautiful moon above them when suddenly there appeared a wonderful light in the sky, brighter than the moon, or stars, as if the sky had opened and they saw the glory within. While the shepherds were looking up, wondering what was the cause of that strange light, a beautiful shining angel came near to them and said: "Fear not. I bring you good tittings which shall be to all people. This day is born a Savior, and ye shall find the babe lying in a manger." And suddenly the angel was joined by a multitude of the heavenly host singing praises to God. This was their song! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth Feng good will beowed upon When the angels had gone back to heaven the angels said they would go to Bethlehem and see the Savior of whom the angels said. They went and found a little baby, in a stable, with no care to He in, only a manger for his bed. That little baby was Jesus, who when he grew up said: "Let the little child come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." His birthday was the first Christmas day, and ever since that time we kept that day as a joyful and happy one—New York Press. ```markdown ``` "I am mighty sorry, Uncle Dan, that this is your last night with us. Can't you stay longer? We boys are having a peach of a time," said Billie. "Well, if you get more out of it in the way of pleasure than I," said Uncle Dan, "you are going some." "Billie, I have been talking seriously with your father and mother about sending you to a military academy and they asked me to talk with you about it." "Whoopee!" Billie screamed, like a wild Indian. "Now, hold your horses," said Uncle Dan, "and listen to me. You know I sent my boy, Howard, to one of these schools for a year when he was about your age. He was narrow chested, stoop shouldered, rather loose jointed; he had the big head and needed discipline and physical development. He was growing fast and I wanted him to be strong physically." "Say, Uncle Dan," said Billie. "I believe your description of Howard fits me pretty well, eh?" "Well," said Uncle Dan, "to be frank I think it does; you need the same thing. Howard did not like it at first. I am told for a few weeks he had 'rough sledding,' but after he found that the only way was to ober orders, he caught the spirit of the institution and liked it. We did not see him for about six months, then he came home for a few days. We were astonished at his appearance. He had gained about 20 pounds in weight, his muscles were as hard as nails, he stood as straight as an arrow, he was courteous, consider- B A A B Note the result of six months of military training. Compare lines A-A and B-B in cut. ate and manly. His awkwardness had disappeared. The change was wonderful and it was all to the good. Here is a photograph showing 'before and after taking', and I am sure no patent medicine advertisement could beat it. 'Well, mother and I were delighted. That was ten years ago, and Howard says the year he spent at the military academy was the best year of his life. "Now," said Uclep Dan, with great exasperation, "when such training does so much good, makes better citizens and at the same time fits a man to defend his country, why should not Uncle Sam furnish this training at the government's expense? The government has the right to call anyone to serve in case of war, and without training, a man is worth nothing as a soldier. Uncle Sam has splendid, new training camp that will soon be available for the purpose, therefore, here is double reason why the Chamberlain bill for compulsory military training should be passed at once, so that every boy physically fit may have this training and not leave it for his parents to pay for. On account of the expense, not one boy in 50 can take the training now. I am glad that you can do so. These big crops and big prices, I find, make the farmers rather 'cocky,' and that the best is demanded by them." Billie was up with the lark the next morning, more excited and enthusiastic than ever. He had a plan. He knew Jimmie owned a-colt worth $100; that he would make almost another $100 on his potatoes if they turned out well, and that he had from his previous savings, bought a $100 Liberty bond. Billie's plan was to have Jimmie cash in and go with him. He was disappointed to find that Jimmie would still lack about $300 of having enough to see him through. His lip quivering he said: "I'm mighty sorry to leave Jimmie." Uncle Dan was silent a moment of two, then he asked Bille to go down to the orchard and get him some apples to eat on the train. While he was gone, it was arranged that Uncle Dan and Mr. and Mrs. Graham would advance the money necessary so that Jimmie could go. When Bille returned he was told about it. He ran to the phone and called Jimmie, saying, "Come on over, run just as fast as you can. I've got the greatest news you ever heard of." We Try To Do The Impossible PLEASE EVERYBODY.

NEXT WEEK AT THE PENDLETON THEATRE PENDLETON AND FINNEY AVENUES. COMPANY FULL OF "PEE" GOOD SINGERS AND DANCERS The Bruce Jazz Players, a gingerly bunch of talented perfogers are offering a good show at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The program consists of a repertoire of tuneful melodies, lively dances and comic action. The leading lady, Madam Bruce, possesses a wonderfully rich and well-cultured voice. She ranks with the best operatic prima donna seen on the stage, and to hear her in "Krisima" and again in "Good Bye Forever," a duet with Mr. Bruce, is a rare treat worth anyone's time. B. B. Joyner, the comedian of the company, is above the average. He succeeds in keeping up the fun without too much absurdity. The company includes a chorus of good looking girls with plenty of "pep" and excellent voices. They are, Lula Whitby, Viola Evans, Essie Whitby, Maggie Ellington and Minerva Bush. The entire company is seen in opening and closing choruses with dances. Other features are, "In The Town When I Was Born," by Bobby Bramlett, "Fishimingo Blues," by Mr. Bruce; Ecstatic dance by King Hunter; and a song by Viola Evans. The closing piece is a hotel at which Bruce and Joyner, as impostors, imprinting Vanderbilt and Rockefeller, create much disturbance and get a barrel of fun out of the situation. The company carries its own pianist, Sam Tagis and drummer Johnny Sawyer. THE FILM "THE MAD HAG" BY JOHN HARRISON, AUGUST 1915. Classic Singer at the Booker Washing- toi Theatre This Week The Bruce Jazz Players will remain ever another week and will open Monday night with an entire change of program. A musical comedy, "The Song Shop Studio," will be the offering. One of the features will be "Poor Butterfly," by Madam Bruce and chorus. Mrs. Bruce will also sing the popular ballad, "Joan of Arc," Mr. Bruce will sing "Sweet Emaline My Girl" and Mr. Jopner and Miss Ellington will present an original sketch. The entire show promises to be a big winner. Wm. S. Hatz, the famous movie favorite has been added to the excellent picture program at the Booker Washington Theatre. One of his pictures is a feature every Saturday night. The picture this Saturday, Jan. 5, will be "Double Crossed." Prof. U. S. Crosse and his Royal West Indian Orchestra are playing at the Criterion Theatre, 2644 Franklin Ave. The Pendleton Theatre program next week will be a resale of favorite pictures, by request of the patrona. The regular social program will be carried out but the balance of the week's offering will be features that have proved most popular this season. OLYMPIA THEATRE 1420MarketSt. The Famous Place For Amusements OPEN FROM 10 A.M. TO 11 P.M. A Real Good Show Every 2 Hours The Comet Odeon will change its policy in the near future. It is the plan of the management to show only the highest class photoplays such as are now being shown at the New Grand Central Theatre on Olive St. Although the latter theatre charges 25 and 50 cents; the Comet will have one general admission, price 10 cents. Boots Hope, 'extemporaneous comedian,' who caused the Turpin-Weaver controversy, is the grandson of Rev. John Jasper of "The Sun Do Move" fame of Richmond, Va. His grandmother was Gen. Grant's private nurse. He has three brothers now serving in the U. S. army. Boots says he has a new act entitled, "Hooverisms" which he will present soon. "Baby Jim," Simons, the 800 pound showman, who appeared at the Booker Washington Theatre recently and danced the "She-meshewable," died in Philadelphia, Dec. 28. He was said to be the largest man in the world and it is claimed the casket in which his body was transported to Texas for burial was so large it was necessary to charter a special car.
