When seen by an Argus reporter, Dr. Bundy stated that it was through the uniting efforts of his wife and Attorney Honer G. Phillips that Mr. release was secured. The brave work to liberate him will long be remembered, and the good work of Attorney Phillips was a service to the race as well as to him. DEMOGRATS WANT TO OUST ALLEN Democratic press reports from Jefferson City indicate that a fight has begun to oust President B. F. Allen, of Lincoln Institute. The leaders in the movement are Wel W. Lamkin, State Superintendent of Education and W. J. Tömkirz, a democratic politician in Kansas City. The correspondent states that opposition to Allen is due to the fact that "He has refused to permit political interference in the management of the school, such as the levying of assessments on teachers' salaries for political campaigns and the organization of alumnae as party workers." "During the campaign before the last general election, Tomkins, who had been hired by the Democratic State Committee to organize the Negro voters, wrote a personal letter to each member of the committee, in which he demanded the removal of Allen and charged Allen with failure to exert himself for the Democratic cause." The Argus has learned that it is the opinion of persons in the knowing, in St. Louis, that the statement made concerning Prof. Allen's refusal to bring the school into politics as being the cause of the fight against him is misleading. These men say that, it is because he has done these things that the school is in its present condition and Prof. Allen is in a contest to hold his position. Complaint has been generally made for several years by leading Colored citizens, throughout the state, that there was too much politics in Lincoln Institute. They site, as an example, the salary list as printed in the Missouri Blue Book, R. A. West, listed as "Secretary to the President, athletic grounds and buildings" receives a salary of $200 per annum which is higher than any teacher in the school. West, who is not a teacher, gets $300 more than the highest paid teacher on the faculty, whose salaries are lower than paid in St. Louis public schools. This they attribute to politics. The opposition claims it can not find a man competent to fill Allen's place and have asked for aponment of the election until Lambe can go to Washington and try to find a suitable successor. --- DR. BUNDY RELEASED ON BOND Sureties All Colored. Trial Set For Monday. Continuance Will Be Asked For On Account of Defendant's Health. Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, who has been in jail since last October charged with murder growing out of the East St. Louis riots, was released from the Belleville jail on Friday, March 8. The release of Dr. Bundy is a culmination of a long and bitter, struggle; first to have him admitted to bail and then to reduce it to an amount so that his friends could qualify and sign the bond. The bond was at first fixed at $24,000. This required a qualification of $48,000. After a prolonged effort the bond was reduced to $14,000. All the sureties were Colored and residents of East St. Louis, except Aaron E. Malone, of the Poro College, St. Louis, Mo. Trial Set-for Monday The case will be called for trial at Waterloo, Ill., Monday, March 18. One hundred and fifty witnesses have been subpenenced for the defense. A continuance until the fall term will be applied for by the attorneys for the defense. Dr. Bandy is in very poor health, due to his long confinement, and his attorneys will insist that he not be forced to trial until he recovers. Attorney Phillips says the fight in Bundy's behalf for vindication and freedom has just begun. Visitor Tells Larger k Man As His NEW HOME OF A. NEW HOME OF A. U.K. & D.of A.

HOWARD REPLIES TO BOOZE To the Editor of The St. Louis Argus: With reference to the fight for National Committeeman from Mississippi at St. Louis last month, I beg to state that the statements in the Defender and other papers alleged to have been made by E. P. Booze to the National Committee are, to the best of my recollection, substantially true and correct. I do not consider Mr. Booze's abuse of Colonel Simmons as a sufficient elok behind which to hide. Colonel Simmons-played his part as a hide. He was at St. Louis upon my urgent request; he closed the case at my request and his closing argument was a masterpiece and it was both entertaining and convincing to a large part of the Committee. It would be all but saerileligious for me to show, ingratitude to such selfish men at Henry Lineoln Johnson, whose argument, as a member of the National Committee, was a forensic ecology; R. Church who, spared neither energy, painns nor means to get our case properly before the committee; Walter Cohen who journeyed from the far away city of New Orleans to give us the benefit of his farsightedness and experience in statecraft and the idol of the American platform in the person of Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who is Mississippi's best beloved racial gift to the American people. It was bad enough for Mr. Booze to make the remarks, and it is worse for him to deny them even if he is under the lash of just criticism of the race press. The saddest part of the whole affair is that Mr. Booze had nothing to do with the case—is not a factor in the Republican. Party in Mississippi—has never been sent even as a delegate to a convention from this state—and I can count him the adversary of nobody in particular, but like Quizote he is merely fighting an imaginary foe. I had fully decided to pass the matter innoticed if Mi. Booze had not denied the charge and sought to discredit the support given me by my bosom friend, Colonel Simmonsa, whose name along with those of Johnson, Cohen, Church, Abbott, Wright, Ellis, Scott, Boyd, Hueston, Lewin, Louis Henderson, Cary, Thomas, Nutter, Waters, Matthews, Cobb, Finley Wilson, Tylor Green, Cottill (and others who prefer that their names be not mentioned) are among the jumortals, so far as I am concerned. The affair at St. Louis cemented together the Republicans of Mississippi as they have never been before and they will undo, two years hence, what The St. Louis Argus Published In The Interest Of Colored People national Grand Queen; Mrs. Julia Cordell, National Deputy Grand Queen; Mrs. Josie R.

COMMUNITY HOUSE PLANS STOPPED The plans to raise funds for a community house at Camp Funston, by a joint campaign of St. Louis and Kansas City citizens were halted here last Friday by a telegram from the camp to the Boosters' Club which read, "Kansas City Committee a Frost." The St. Louis Boosters' Club was advised to proceed alone but the members declined to go farther in the matter until authorized to do so by the Activity Officers at Camp Funston. RAID OF KEYSTONE GETS EMPLOYEES RAID OF KEYSTONE GETS EMPLOYEES A raiding squad consisting of Lieut. Stinger of the Eighth Police District and Special Officers Cooper and Johnson, entered the Keystone Cafe, Lawton and Compton, shortly after midnight last Saturday and arrested the proprietor and employees. The daily papers printed different reports of the unfair. One stated that a dance hall had been raided and six white women and eight white men were among about 100 persons arrested. Another paper placed the number at a half hundred and said the police broke down the door. At the police station an Argus reporter was told that 24 men, all Colored, and no women were arrested. Mr. Mills states that the raid was made ten minutes after closing time, while his help was getting ready to leave, that the door to the cafeteria was unfastened and all arrested were men who were waiting for friends. He says there were no patrons in the house as the place had closed promptly at midnight. Mills admits that he often has white customers, who are acquaintances and patronize him because of friendship. Other patrons have not objected to them. The reporter could find no dance hall. The only place for patrons is the cafe, which is small and filled with tables. On the second floor is the manager's office and a service bar and Y.M.C.A. DRIVE MASS MEETING AT THE Y W.C.A --- UNION PLANS TO"JIMCROW" THE NEGROES Federal Employees Union Seeks to Organize Colored Branch. Majority of Men Refuse To Fall In Line Unless Permitted to Meet with Whites and, Transact Business Open and Above Board. The Federal Employees Union with headquarters in Washington, D.C., and locals in most of the principal cities of the United States, has been making efforts for sometime to secure a membership among the Colored men who are employed in the Quartermaster's Department in this city. Since the beginning of the war the number of Colored men who have found employment, especially as laborers, has been on a steady increase until those union officials who direct the affairs of the local organization desire to have them enrolled as members. Some of the employed employees have been meeting regularly, but the number has been small in proportion to those employed. This has been attributed to the desire of the promotors, who are white, to get the Colored men into a branch organization of their own, and to pay a certain proportion of their money into the treasury of the white local, while they meet to themselves. One of the reasons advanced for the separate organization is the undesirability of Colored men having the privilege of attending the social functions which are given from time to time. Those among the days, who are best advised, claim there is no desire on their part for social equality, but they will demand equality in all matters affecting the good of any organization they join; and such equality includes meeting in the same hall and in one common meeting where the business transacted is open and above board. The Argus is pleased to announce the advocates of rights along this line constitute a large majority of the Colored men, and there is small chance that many will become a party to any effort to segregate or "Jim Crow" them. Begins March 19. All Subscribers Are Urged to Pay Up Plans for the big drive to add $10, 000 to the N. M. C. A. building fund by June the 9th are shaping up in life style an Argus reporter learned this week. On Sunday afternoon the captains who originally secured the pledges held a meeting at the Y. M. C. A. rooms at which time a majority of the captains stutted with the campaign two years ago were present. These captains agreed that the goal for which they would work would be the $10,000 by June the 9th. Their plan also is to reorganize the teams securing two leutenants for each team giving these lieutenants the power to select four men with whom to work. The original team-men will be used wherever possible but new men will be added to the teams. These reorganized teams are to meet Tuesday night, March 19th, at eight o'clock at the Y. M. C. A. building for the purpose of launching the Drive. This Drive means that everyone who made pledges, to the building fund and has not kept the pledges will be called upon to pay in something on their pledge. Mr. R. B.

Argus Print, 2341 Market St. 28,000 NEGROES FOR THE NORTHERN CAMPS FROM DIXIE To Be Included In Special Draft Of 95,000 March 29. 800,000 In Next-Draft Will Be Drawn Gradually, Lasting Through 1918. Nearly 1,000 Negroes From St. Louis. The mobilization of 28,000 Southern Negroes in Northern camps is included in the next move of the War Department. A movement of 95,000 drafted men to begin March 29 and continue for five days is the new order issued by Proyost Marshal-General Crowder. The men will be drafted from all states except Iowa and Minnesota. Missouri will furnish 1,170, St. Louis and St. Louis county 292. The men are to be drawn to fill up the vacancies remaining from the first draft and this indicates that no Negroes from the North will be taken. 800.000 In Next Draft No official announcement has been made as to the exact time of the calling of the next draft, but it is understood that 800,000 can be considered as the number that will be called to the colors. The system precludes fixing of a definite date, for the plan is to feed in the new men as occasion requires. The situation depends on a number of elements. Emptying of a camp will allow a call for an increment of the 800,000 to that camp. Special need for replacement troops of a certain division will demand a call for another cantonment. The groups, thus called will be comparatively small, covering probably the entire year 1918. Chairman Spencer of the District Board of Appeals estimates that St. Louis and St. Louis county will be called open for approximately 6,000 men. Basing an estimate on the last quota, the number of Negroes selected here will be about 970. However, Congress is expected to amend the law to compute the basis of apportionment on the number of registrants in class I, instead of population and this will probably deviate the figures from this estimate. Judge, Seldon P. Spencer will speak at a mass meeting Sunday, March 17, 4:00 pm, in the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium. This begins the drive for $6,000 budget and $1,000 for Hostess House at Camp Funston. All are urged to attend. The drive will be from March 17 to March 21. Sunday there will be speakers in the different churches to present the work of the Y. W. C. A. and get bridges.

This expression was made by Dr. Robert W. Patton of Atlanta, Ga., special representative of the American Church Institute for Negroes, in the course of a wonderful discourse on "The Negro and Democracy" at Christian Church Cathedral; Thirteenth and Locust, last Sunday night before 800 persons. Dr. Patton is the special representative of the American Church Institute for Negroes. This is a part of the missionary work of the Episcopal church, with headquarters in New York City. It maintains ten schools in the South for boys and girls of our race and there are no schools in the country which produce better results than do these. The purpose of the address was to arouse the interest of the people of this city in these schools so that their present high standard may be not only unstained, but may be increased and enlarged so that more of our boys not girls may acquire the advantages which they may offer. Negro Possesses Highest Virtue The address was a masterpiece in every way.

He made one of the most instructive and beneficial talks it has been the pleasure of the Boosters to hear. He stated that, first of all, he desired the club to increase its membership to 1,000, secure permanent headquarters and take an important part in the civic life of our people in St Louis.

N. A. A. C. P. NOTICE The St. Louis Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold its regular monthly meeting Wednesday, March 20th, 1918, at Jersey Presbyterian Church, 2015 Pine St., at 8:00 p.m. All members are urged to attend. The public is also cordially invited. Dr. J. W. Day, President = C. F. Wilkerson, Sec. minding his hearers that God had given to each race of people a special gift which that race was to develop and contribute to the world. "The special gift of the Jey was to proclaim to the world the personality of God; that of the Greek, to Fathom the nature of God; that of the Roman, to cultivate the law of God; of the German, the systematic order of God; of the Frenchman, that ineffable thing which is so essential to mankind, and which we denominate taste; of the Anglo-Saxon, to reveal to mankind the nature of the freedom which God has given to us all; and to the Negro, the revelation of the highest of all the virtues—the Law of Love." Going on, the speaker showed how the Negro had always shown his love and patience under the most trying and bitter experiences. The white man, he said, "has been constantly exploiting the Negro, for the benefit of the white man." Dr. Patton recited the history of the Negro from the settlement of the white man in this country to the Civil War and said, "When it was over it was solemnly agreed by the white people of America that never again in this land should one man have the power to direct Chicago Examiner Charges Colored Paper Has Copied Its Heading, Cause Persons To Believe The Two Papers Are Associated Chicago, Ill.—A bill for injunction has been filed in the Superior Court by Dickinson, Wetten & Keech for the Chicago Examiner against Robert S. Abbott, who publishes the Chicago Defender. The bill charges that the Defender uses a heading copied after the Chicago Examiner's heading and so similar to it as to deceive the people of Chicago. The bill also charges that by reason of the Defender's policies many complaints have been received by the Examiner from persons who believe the Defender associated with the Examiner. The bill asks that Abbott be restrained from using such heading and continuing to deceive the Chicago reading public.

MARY TOPIC-Jesus feeding the hungry MEMORY VERSE-Give ye them to eat. Mark 6:17. JUNIOR MEMORY VERSE- Isa. 6:7 MEDIATE MTP-Messenger OF CHIPS JUNIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-The power of the Gospel of Christ. The time of this lesson was autumn, A. D. S2; the location Galllee, I. Marvouslous Unbelief, (vv. 1:1-6a). Jesus is rejected the second time at Nazareth. He entered into the symgogue on the Sabbath, as was his custom, and the people were astonished at his doctrine. His application of the scripture was similar to that of his first rejection. The significance of this visit is found in verses 5 and 6—the limitation of the mighty Christ through unbelief by those who knew him best. 11. The Mission of the Twelve. (vv. 6-16)—From the paralleled account we find why Jesus sent forth these disciples (Matt. 9:36)—because the people were scattered as sheep without a shepherd. In the tenth chapter of Matthew we find the names of those whom he sent out (vv. 2:5). The fifth verse of which designates that only Jews were included in this mission. We need to remember that these disciples were sent out before his crucifixion. Their pilgrim character is shown in Mark 6:9; and the solemn manner of their dealing with those who reject them is indicated in verse eleven. They were being sent forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. They were to be delivered up to the council and haled before the rulers of the synagogues, with but with them to go on enabling power (Matt. 10:20). Meeting persecution was to be a part of their program. They anticipate the persecution with which Christ is identified, for he exhorts them (Matt. 10:28-31) to be of courage and to fear not, for are they not "of more value than the sparrows?" Their going forth was to bring divisions (Matt. 10:34), but also a reward to those who received them aright—a righteous man's reward. (Matt. 10:40-42). Notice their obedience (Mark 6:12-18), and their achievements as the visible evidence of the power they had received. 111. Malignant Hate. (vv. 14-29). Mark gives us the most complete account of the death of John the Baptist. It is not a lesson that we need to emphasize to the scholars of the younger grades, but it has a deep significance to those of the more advanced departments of the Sunday school; and if we are going to get the scope of the whole Epistle of Mark, it must be considered. Herod thought he had triumphed, but he was defeated. Thus it is with the sinner always—he overshoots the mark. Germany's hatred of England stands in the way of its complete domination of Europe, and it was Germany's pride which caused it to make those military blunders which prevented it from capturing Paris. So it is with Satan and the sinner; just when the victory seems to be complete God intervenes. "They that he for us are more than they that are against us." The counteracting power of God offsets the death's hatred so that we are made "more than conquerors through him that loved us." "It was because Jesus sent forth these disciples that they were called apostles. Iterally "sent ones." They had been called unto him (Mark 6:7), then sent forth, not singly, but by twos, so today, the lonely servant has with him the Holy Spirit. Our message is "peace," but we must have peace ourselves if we are to impart it to others. If punishment is to be measured by the amount of light one sink against, the heaviest punishment must rest upon those in America and England who know the gospel but reject it. It is evident that the disciples recieved great power (vv. 12, 13) as suggested by their return (v. 30). They acted wisely in telling Jesus "all things," both what they had done and taught. Although sent forth, they were not to spend time in visiting and entertaining; nor in seeking the hospitality of the rich. They were to be wholly dependent upon God, taking nothing with them in their journeyings, but staff and sandals, betokening their pilgrim character. The gospel of Mark gives us the picture of the ideal servant. There are more temptations to break the commandments than there are encouragements to keep them. Resolve to help break the temptations and to help make the encouragements. In material things it's not what we want but what we get that counts. In spiritual, it's not what we claim but what we got. Faith is the practical exercise of the spiritual eyes. Spirit is the only true substance. The spiritual body is the real man—Henry Wood. LESSON FOR MARCH 17 CHURCHES Dr. Vincent preachs no bale nelson sermon last Sunday at Yarmyn, A. M. E.

Phillips greeted the congregation: He was enroute home from Chicago where he has been to arrange for the general conference, which convenes there. May E. The new C. M. E. Church which is being erected in Chicago will not be completed and the general conference will be held at St. Mark M. E. Church. Bishop Phillips says there is only one objection he has to Chicago, and that he will keep late hours. However, when the general conference is in session the Bishop has resolved to retire promptly at 11 o'clock. Rev. Shaw had the legion Sunday afternoon and mastered a great congregation. Rev. Shaw and Rev. Smith are great friends and the only thing that separates them is A.

Jack plays the more heavily and loses the play with Dorothy and she plays Jack and lives in where the play gets interesting. Alice, a friend to Dorothy, and a friend and a favorite of society, is also a favorite of Peter Ogden, a friend of Jack's, and—— But the play will be presented. Watch for the date. METROPOLITAN NOTES "It goes without saying: that the Metropolitan Church is an important factor in the religious Life of St. Louis. One only needs to make one visit to be a witness to this fact. Sunday after Sunday, morning and night is a scene of great enthusiastic crowds that gather there. The pastor, Dr. Shaw, preached last Sunday morning from the subject, "The Withered Hand." He spoke briefly as to the importance of the physical hand. Then contrasted it with the spiritual hand. It was a masterful effort. Many joined the church's spiritual feast. The various units of the church are succeeding nicely. The Carriage Unit has for its organization officers, Mrs. Susie Pergouon, President; Mrs. A. M Crawford, Secretary; Miss. Nannie Hughes, Treasurer. All the units will be given a hearing through Metro- politan notes. The Red Cross knitting unit is good and Miss Lydia Lee is jubilant over the knitting bag the Unit has made this Sunday. The pastor will preside of those soul stirring sermons both night and morning on next Sunday. MT. OLIVE BAPSTH CHURCH 1429 N. 12th St. A meet glorious parment and nomination was solumned here on last Sunday. The pastor scored some telling points in his discourse at night from the tavern. He is tuity of Death." Matt. 38:66. A revival of mighty magnitude was begun Monday night under the leadership, of Rev. Gaines n. E. St. Louis. Sinners and slackers this is your opportunity, come with us for we do you good. The Mother Church's solemn solemn filled with mute yearnings for a home where to stay. Our pastor will bend every effort to assist her and asks every member and friend to meet him at the parental tree Sunday afternoon to boost her financially and spiritually "over the top." Industrial workers for Christ cannot resist this appeal of a mother to her young. Will you meet us there to comfort and assist! Rev. D. W. Morris, Pastor. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Our pastor, Dr. O. C. Maxwell, has been indisposed for more than a week and last Sunday was still confined to his home, 4375 W. Belle Pl. However, very excellent services were enjoyed by a crowd that taxed the capacity of our place of worship. Dr. k. i. Cole, principal of Simmons School, in his usual eloquent and forceful manner, preached a gospel of "Faith" that carried the people away on wings of spiritual ecstasy to view the possibilities of those who live a life of "Faith." He made it plain that true ruth is imposed on three elements, trust, knowledge and action. The Mission Circle met in the afternoon with Mrs. Pinkie Johnson presiding. They had a splendid meeting and turned over $20.50 to the new Building fund. Good! Do that again sister mission workers. After their meeting the *District Children's Band*, an adjunct of the District Woman's *Home and Foreign Missionary Society* of the Antichia Association, presented an excellent program and a collection of $21 was raised and turned over to the New Building fund. God bless the children. This was the work of the children's talented supervisor, Mrs. Lula Alexander. She was assisted by other good friends. Next Sunday at 2 p. m. Dr. Dunavant, of Leonard Avenue Baptist Church, and Rev. Morris, pastor of Mr. Olive Baptist Church with their respective congregations will rally the "Mother Church" for the New Building fund, and great things are expected from these stalwart divines who know how to do big things. All Hall for the Moderator and Vice-Moderator. Rev. Luther Curtsey one of our church's talent, was a welcome visitor at our church Sunday morning. Our pastor is convalescing and we expect him with us Sunday. Worship at the "Mother Church." Everybody welcome. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. S. A. Moseley, D.D. Pastor. Taking every phase of our work under consideration we cannot find words to express the very splendid condition of our church. Our pastor is still coming into his own, physically, and has succeeded in lining up all the forces of the church for the great meeting in which we are now engaged. The skirmishing, which has been kept up for the past week or ten days, resulted in the capture of several souls and and held the points that have been fortified and the points that have on the enemy for the final charge, with the auxiliaries, are intact and assisted very widely in bringing these very splendid results to bear. Dr. H. R. Wilson, of Waco, Te克斯, appeared on the scene Sunday at 11 a.m., arrangements having been previously made for him, to command this great army under Christ, in the mighty conflict against sin in St. Louis. The pastor, who now sits in the advisory council, has turned over to Dr. Wilson more, than 100 pledged personal workers who are experienced in the work of the Master and, acquainted with the wiles of the devil; and in addition, many others who are serviceable for the Master. And, taking into account that, "God Christian can chase 1,000 devil's -God and two can put 10,000 to flight," this is, indeed, a great army now ravaged against the powers of darkness. Dr. Wilson took personal command of this Christian army Sunday morning and briefly outlined his plans in the work of the great campaign. He demonstrated his ability in all things necessary to the successful management of an evangelistic campaign. His discourses Sunday morning and evening on "Personal Activities" and "The Voice respectively, were filled with logical reasoning, practical thought and spiritual power. They were indeed inspiring. Monday evening after marshaling his forces and massing his artillery for the final stand, he gave the order, "charge," as a result, two souls were wrested from the clutches of the devil and set free on the terms of the Gospel. Five others were reclaimed and added to the ranks. Having received fighting orders the great host of personal workers with Sis. B. P. Woods as Nairmish Captain, he carried arms to the stronghold of women and sinners of Him who died and rose triumphant or *er* death, hell and the grave, demand that the Gospel of the Son of God get a hearing. We invite all Christians, who are willing to hear and obey the voice of God to come over and assist in this great battle, but remember, some not empty handed for we have no surplus weapons. Bring, therefore, your own weapon, and you will be the battle to the fate. For under the able management of Dr. Wilkes; led on by the Holy Spirit, this promises to be one of the greatest meetings in the Harry M.

LEONARD AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH Excellent services were enjoyed at Leonard Avenue Baptist Church, last Sunday, having a good attendance despite the fact that a larger number of our members are on the sick list than before.

We are all looking forward to the one big week, the celebration of the fourth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. Dunavant, beginning the second Sunday in April.

SMITH NOTES Prof. Jacob Emauel Jones, one of our rare Negro singers, appeared in a recital last Friday evening. Prof. Jones is principal of the High school at Columbia, and was a former teacher in Geo. R. Smith College. Prof. Jones has won the distinction of being one of the best singers traveling and so excellent in his tone, and so winning his manner that he has been asked to visit all the cantonments. We are proud of Prof. Jones because he was one of us. Prof. Jones is most happy in his interpretation of his songs, whether they be sung in English or Italian. His rendition of "Funiculic, Funiculic" by Denza, as well as "Absent" by Metcalf, even "Bravest Hearts" (Faust) by Goundn and "Go Down Moses" by Homer, were most pleasingly given and won a place in the hearts of all those prespeak. We welcome Prof. Jones back to our school at any time he can find it convenient to appear. Prof. Jones is fortunate in having such an excellent accompanist in the person of Mr. Drew.

"Sorry if I have kept you long," said Uncle Dan. "Your mother has been telling me how bashful I used to be. She said if a girl spoke to-me I would blush to my hair roots. Well, I reminded her of the time your father first came to see her and the joke we played on them, so I guess that will hold her for a while." Continuing, Uncle Dax said: "You want to talk more about the war, do you? Well, war methods have undergone many changes and they are still changing. No two wars are fought alike. In early times, the weapons were stones, clubs, spears, bows and arrows, words, etc. In this kind of warfare, victory was with the strong right arm. Men of enormous size and strength wars the great warriors. The invention of gunpowder, however, has changed all this. It has enabled men to kill one another at a considerable distance, and do it wholesale. The war, as we know it now, is a combination of chemicals, machinery, mathematical calculations and highly trained men. Just think of it! Airplanes, submarines, armored tanks, or caterpillars, poison gases, and curtains of fire are all used for the first time in this war; and they are destructive beyond anything hereof known. "The methods followed by the kaiser and his allies are simply devilish. He must answer in history to the killing of thousands of innocent women and children. He has broken every international law and every rule of warfare; he has bombarded hospitals and undefended cities, sunk Red Cross ships on errands of mercy; he has destroyed cathedrals and pricked treasures of art that can never be replaced; he has made slaves of his prisoners; he has tried to get us into war with Japan; his emissaries have blown up our ships, burned our factories and fired our forests. He knows no mercy or honor. The most charitable view to take of this blood-thirsty tyrant is that he is crazy. "One thing is certain," continued Uncle Dan, with great emphasis, "Our liberty, the safety of our homes and our country, and the security of the world demand the speedy and absolute overthrow of the kaiser and crushing out once and forever the reign of Prussian brutality." "How about the German people," said Billie. Uncle Dan replied: "The splendid German people were happy, thrifty, prosperous and contented. They have been tricked into war and made to suffer, the tortures of the damned; they have been cruelly and systematically deceived. God grant that the real facts may get to them, and if they do, Lord help the kaiser." "Of course the allies will win," said Mrs. Graham. "Probably so," said Uncle Dan. "But if we are to win, we must go the limit. We must check the awful destruction to shipping by the German submarines, or we may not be able to get food and supplies to our own men and to our allies; we must also put hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions, of first-class soldiers in the battle line. "Food is the first consideration," Uncle Dan continued. "No army can hold out against hunger. It has been said that food will win the war and this is largely true. Hence the importance of the farm in the war plans of our country." Mrs. Graham interrupted by saying: "In view of the importance of farming, don't you think, Daniel, that the farmers ought to be exempted from war service?" "No, a thousand times no," said Uncle Dan, striking the table so hard to emphasize his protest that he tipped over a vase of flowers. "We must have no class legislation. The duty to serve is the common duty of all; and no class must be relied upon this obligation. The question of exemption must be a personal one and decided by the facts surrounding each case. In no other way can we have a square deal; and to insure this, it is the duty of congress to pass immediately the Chamberlain bill, or some such measure, which is fair to all classes. It would settle all these questions and do it fairly. Safety now and safety hereafter demands such legislation, and let me suggest that you and your friends get busy with your congressman and senators and urge them to prompt action. "It is time for us to realize that we are not living in a fool's paradise; that this great country of ours cos oceans of blood and treasure and it is only due to the loyalty, sacrifice and service of our forefathers that we have a country, and it is our highest duty to preserve it unimpaired and pass it on to posterity, no matter what the cost may be. Our citizenship and their ancestors came from all parts of the world to make this country a home and enjoy its blessings and opportunities; hence, in the crisis before us, it is the duty of everyone to stand squarely back of our country and be prepared to defend the flag. Everyone in this crisis is either pro-American or pro-German. Great as the country is, there is not room enough for two flags."

The World's war is adjusting many things which seemed to be beyond adjustment a few years ago, and one of the problems which it is helping materially to solve is the very vexatious Race Problem in this country. Of course, we who belong to the race have always known that there could be no true democracy in this country until the Negro was recognized as a man and a citizen, in all that those terms imply. We are accustomed to hearing white politicians extol the race during weeks prior to an election; but seldom we hear a white minister of any church speak anything which will cause his hearers to think about the hindrance to the coming of the Kingdom of God which Race prejudice causes. All this was changed last Sunday evening when the Rev. Dr. Robert W. Patton, a Virginian, who is living in Georgia, before a congregation of 800 persons, at Christ Church Cathedral, declared that "The white man must recognize the black man as his brother if the war against Prussianism is to be really won." Dr. Patton is one of a few white men who have dared to speak the truth. Coming, as he does, from the South, the land of despair, his words were most significant. Altogether, the meeting was epoch-making in the history of the development of the Negro in this land. The audience watched the speaker most earnestly, and drank in his every word. His eloquence was thoroughly genuine and his enthusiasm for his subject was real to the core. A few years ago, he saw no need in educating the Negro; but God has opened his eyes, and has commissioned him to open the eyes of many more of his people. Let us, as a race, imitate the example of St. Paul, when he found some Christians in Rome, the home of Nero, the arch-enemy of the religion of Christ, and "thank God and take courage."

According to press dispatches, the State of Oklahoma, through the medium of her infamous Jim Crow laws, has declared that democracy is not to be thought of where it concerns a member of the Negro race. The ejection, arrest, imprisonment and fining of 1st Lieut. Chas. A. Tribbett at Chickasaw, Okla., March 1st, was a direct slap at the supremacy of the United States Government, and an insult to the majesty of the War department. Lieut. Tribbett was on his way to Fort Sill, Okla., on business for the government, and was riding in a Pullman car, on Government's transportation. He had qualified to the high office of first lieutenant. He had sworn to uphold the principles for which the government stands, even to the point of sacrificing his life upon the battle field; yet, he is suffered to be humiliated in the vilest manner, by citizens of the very country for which ye has sworn to fight, and if needs be lay down his life. It may be right for States to pass laws wherein a certain class of its citizens can be humiliated and mistreated at will. It may be right for mobs of white men to burn and kill black men for daring to protect their own lives. It is right for the Government to rigidly enforce laws and penalties for sedition and for the promoting or exploiting pro-German propaganda. And it should be easy for the Government to realize that the mobbing of American Negroes and the continued mistreatment of American Negro soldiers in the uniform of the United States Army is far more dangerous and damaging than any form of pro-German propaganda that has ever been practised in this country.

Retribution In our last issue, we told of the death at Alton, Ill., of Bertha Russell, the self-confessed murderess of Mrs. Minnie Williams, who was killed at 3131 Lawton Avenue, December 22nd. It was common rumor, immediately following the killing that it would be dangerous for a married woman to go after or say anything to another woman about her own husband. The laws of the land may be slow or faulty and may often miscarry but the law of God never errs. Retribution is swift and sure. "Home Brought to the Camp" is one way the Y. W. C. A. Hostess House has been described. The Hostess House has become, an essential factor in the life of all training camps, and its positive work with young girls in the neighborhood of cantonments has contributed materially to the really creditable conditions which now exist. It has been said that the work of the War Department in attempting to rationalize the environment of army camps would suffer considerably without the splendid efforts of the Y. W. C. A. The Hostess House provides for girls and women coming to cantonments either for work or as is more often the case, to visit their soldier relatives. Many have said that the Hostess House gives the "woman touch." We ask that St. Louis contribute $1,000 to help establish a Hostess House at Camp Funston for our boys there and their friends who may visit. This is very little to ask of St. Louis.

Dr. Cheatham will speak next Tuesday on "Topography of the Chest." NEGRO S LOYALTY IS A VIRTUE SAYS DR. PATTON another's action, against the other man's will." "We gave him the ballot, but when we found it did not redound to the benefit of the white man, we took it from him again and so it has been over since the war. We have used the Negro only over the war without any consideration of his good or his wishes. Through it all he has been patient, loyal and hopeful. When the white men of the South were away fighting to retain the possession of his body, the Negro was keeping faithful ward over the women and children left at home—and there is not recorded even one instance of indelibility on the part of these people." The Handwriting on the Wall" Now comes another great war for liberty. Hitherto the Anglo-Saxon race has fought for liberty for itself, but now we are fighting that all mankind may enjoy this precious boon. America has answered the cry of Europe to come to its assistance and as we go forth we see a man who is hampering us, not willingly, but in spite of himself. He is standing before our armies bound with the shackles of prejudice and hatred and behind him there stands a man with a face like into the Son of God, who solemnly points to the man who is impeding our progress—a black man—and says to us "Inasmuch as we have done it unto the least of these my brethren, we have done it unto me!" Loyal in Spite of All The natural thing for this down-trodden and brutalized black man to do at the outset of the war was to rise against the people who have so studiously pushed him down into a condition little better than that of the beast. The Germans expected that he would, and tried to arouse his animosity; but that Diving virtue which we call Love had been so firmly implanted into the soul of this black man that the efforts of the enemy to corrupt him have all met with signal failure, and today his sons are marching by the thousands to fight and die for Freedom—for the Angle-Saxon race. Will we allow him to fight and die for us, and then to return to his own native land to be met by the same condition of race hatred and worse than slavery which he has left!" Speaker Summoned to Washington The speaker told of being summoned, with others interested in the education of Negroes, by the National Government, to a conference in Washington to discuss plans for helping to "Make the Country Safe for Democracy," after the war, and included in this program of safety were the Negroes of the South. He said the Government urged the educators to plead with the Christian people to keep the schools open and enlarge their usefulness. So people object to educating Negroes, but it is impossible not to educate them. Whether the education is for good or bad depends upon the whites. He spoke of the good being done in the schools, the small cost and the delightful results. A Remember we have made the last piano with Pullman wire strings and Bell metal plates, until after the war.

GREAT REVIVAL IN PROGRESS AT UNION MEMORIAL [Name] There is a great revival going on at Union Memorial Church Leffingwell Ave.; and Pine St. It began last Sunday with a sunrise prayer-meeting. Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the South Western Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La., is preaching every night to large audiences and there have been conversions and accessions to the church at every service. The spiritual tide is running high and people are coming from every section of this city to lend a hand in this successful Lenten revival. The music is unusually charming. Two pianos are employed to furnish volume for the church auditorium and to lead the great choir that co-operates with the audience in singing. Dr. Jones is preaching some special sermons. Next Sunday his subjects will be as follows: 11 a. m., "The Quest of God," p. m., "Jesus Christ" The Emulation Proclamation To get a seat you must come early for next Sunday will be a great day in Union Memorial Church. You really can't afford to miss it. SHALL THE NEGRO JOIN LABOR UNIONS? Shall the Negro join the Labor Unions, is a question that the working classes of our race are wrestling with today, and the solution of the problem is a serious business for the Negro. In the light of past and recent experiences of many Negroes who have been unwise enough to listen to the siren song of the Union agitator, the writer would answer emphatically. NO! because the interests of Negro Labor is not given the same consideration as is the interests of white labor, by the Labor Unions. It is the Labor Union that prevents the employment of Negro youths as apprentices in the various trades, and the present spasmodic efforts to induce the Negro to join the Union, is only a selfish means to a selfish end and that is, to help the Unions win their strikes. In the various plants where strikes have been recently called, there are many Negroes employed, some of them for years, who have been prevented from receiving promotion in salary and position by the very men who now pretend they want to "love him as a Union brother" (until the strike is over). An excellent idea of the benefit the Negro will get by joining the Unions, is gained in reading the following story in an article in Collier's Weekly, of March 10, by Edward Hungerford, from his interview with Mr. Homer L. Ferguson, head of the great shipyards at Newport News, Va., where 7,800 men and boys are employed, half of whom are Negroes, all working in harmony side by side, without any sort of Union, save their respect for the rights of each other. But, here is the story in the words of Mr. Hungerford: "When efforts once were made to form a union of Colored riveters, skilled orators from the North addressed them in a big hall. But the Colored workmen were singularly indifferent. And finally one of the largest and lankest of the riveters unfolded himself from his chair and began: "Our freen's remarks remind me of a right fine Virginia gentleman. Cunnel C of Richmond, who died a few years ago and went to heaven: to Heaven: An' when he interceded himself at the pearly gates, St. Peter, he says to him, he says: "Oh, go long wi' you, white man, you ain't Cunnel C—— of Richmond. You ain't on a hoase, and I ain't never seen the Cunnel afoot." So, dere was the old Cunnel wild does pearly gates closed in front of him an' harp music driftun' out to him. Finally he sees a little bit of a way to do it. Down in the line behind him was his old callud servant, Sam. An' he goes to Sam an' lets on to him as how they both could get into Heaven sure enough if Sam'd drop down on his hans' and knees and be the Cunnel's hose. Ol' Sam, he does it, an' Cunnel C—— rides up to the pearly gates again. St. Peter sittin' back of the ticket office only sees the Cunnel's head and says: "That's better, sah. You hitch hush hoss outside there and walk right in." $^{12}$ The audience 'got' the riveter. There has never been a Negro union." The Union agitators want the Negro to be the "hoss" in their present strike movements, and if by his assistance they win their fights, the Negro will be "hitched" outside" as usual. Everly Negro who has been given employment and fair treatment by his em players, who fails to stand by them in the face of this crisis in the history of our common country, will be guilty of migratitude of the worst kind. This is no time for strikes, and every man, black or white, who by word or deed, hinders and delays the smooth working of all our industries, is helping to plant a German bullet or bayonet in the body of some American soldier in France. SHALL THE NEGRO JOIN THE UNIONS UNDER PRESENT CONDITIONS! NO! THOUSAND TIMES NO!!! TOBACCO FIRM APPEALS FOR MORE NEGROES Employs More Than 800 Negroes, Only a Few of Whom Have Walked Out. Has Been Fair to Colored. Offers inducements For Many More The Liggett and Meyers Pobacco Factory, at Tower Grove and Folsom Avenue, now in the midst of a strike of its employees, fostered by labor unions, have little to fear from its hundreds of Colored help who prefer to remain loyal. These employees appreciate the past good treatment they have received from the company and especially its general manager, Edward T. Nofhn, Jr. Of the more than 800 Negroes on the company's pay roll it is said that less than five per cent have answered the call of the strikers and most of these because of intimidations. The Liggett and Meyers Company gave a raise to their employees last month. The union was formed without consulting the Negroes, and the company, realizing that the union cause is not in sympathy with its Colored help, expects them to remain and is advertising for more. Salaries of $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00 a day to start are offered as inducements. Several instances are cited to show the company's good treatment of its Colored employees. One is the advancement opportunities open to efficient and reliable men. Personal mention is made of Col. Wm. H. Hughes who has been with the company for 38 years, advancing from a $5 a week sweeper to a $90 per month machinist; J. L. Phillips, who started 28 years ago as a racker at 90 cents a day, now is an assistant shipping clerk getting $75 per month; Walter Reed, a blind man, is superintendent of the janitor force, having five men under his care. Other trusty and appreciated employees are Frank Roland, Ike Adkins, Harry Mason and Tommy Ross. The Liggett and Meyers Company has not, as many others, kept its doors closed to Negro labor until it was fore-ced to accept them to break a strike, and because of the hundreds whom it has always carried on its pay roll, who do not wish at this time to be thrown out or employment, it expects a full force of old employees to be at work Monday and new ones to fill places open to them. The Family Market Basket By Dr. Samuel G. Dixon Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania On a Saturday morning a poor woman, with her baby in arms, was returning from the town to her home in the suburbs with a well-filled market basket. In the electric train were two extravagantly dressed gentlemen sitting together, across the alley from the woman and child. One was evidently suffering with a In the electric train were two extravagantly dressed gentlemen sitting together, across the aisle from the woman and child. One was evidently suffering with a bad cold, a serious infection, which the extremely changeable weather had made very prevalent. The sick individual was ignorant of sanitary laws, as well as police laws, for he was spitting-the poisonous contents of the cough on the floor of the car. Directly the two well dressed individuals left the train at a way-station and the woman, being somewhat crowded with baby and basket in the seat divided with another passenger, moved to the place made vacant by the two men. She carelessly placed her basket on the floor in such a manner that it took up a portion of the polsonous sputum. The rest of the story is easily told. The basket was carried home and placed on the kitchen table, where the food to be eaten raw would be prepared for the family. The sickness of the baby in arms, and maybe other members of the family, can be left to the imagination. To keep well, our foodstuffs must be kept clean. Dry Goods High in Germany. Dry goods prices as reported by German newspapers in their market reports have reached unprecedentedly high figures. Half wool stuffs formerly 38 cents a yard now command $5.70; velvets, once $1.44 are now $12 a yard; fifteen, once 20 cents a yard, now cannot be had under $2.88. Other textiles have advanced in like proportion, even shoe laces increasing to 20 times their antewar prices. Frequently the Case.

McKinney, 2825 Morgan The (Masonic Hall Association meets Friday evening, the 20th of March. Grand Chancellor L. O. Wilson, of West Virginia, is dead. The members of the Masonic Band and orchestra met last Sunday evening and perfected a permanent organiza- tion with Moores Ernst, as manager, and new members next Sunday afternoon, at 3 o'clock at 3:526 Lawton Ave. Capt. Alfred Bruce, of the K. P. Uniform rank, has opened a restaurant on the premises of the Warren-Steel Casting Co., Kingshighway and Fairview Ave. The St. Louis' Medical Forum and other leading organizations have inaugurated a vigorous campaign for Negro representation in the City Hospital. Many of the city officials, high in the councils of the present city administration, have pledged themselves to this proposition. The application blank that is issued by East Gate City Lodge A. F. and A. M. to persons who petition that lodge for membership, contains pointed questions of vital interest and shows the extreme, care that body is using in safeguarding the welfare of the fraternity. Dr. J. T. Simpson is Worshipful Master of East Gate. Othallo Lodge, No. I, Benevolent Order of Pleasance Knights, held their annual election of officers Tuesday evening, March 5. The following officers were elected: W. H. King, Exalted Prelate; Wm. H. Brown, Vex Exalted Prelate; Geo. W. O'Neill, Financial Secretary; J. Edward Hardy, recording Secretary; C. G. Cordon, Treasurer; Dr. Geo. M. Cathrell, Counsellor; Walton Coleman, Lecturer; Henry Clay, Outside Sentinel; J. H. McDaniels, Trustee. This is the fourth successive year that W. H. King has been elected Exalted Prelate This is a busy world. Each of us is burdened with his own problems. Our time is occupied in various and sandy ways. Yet in spite of all these multitasking cares and duties, we find time for recreation, entertainment, and pleasure—and this is as it should be. A diversion of our thoughts for a short while from the routine which most men must follow, daily is necessary for our well being. Therefore, let us take our amusements and pleasures whenever we can break away from the humdrum of life. But let us remember that we must not step aside from our routine for such purposes alone. There are serious masters which rightfully claim our attention at infrequent intervals, and which should have our attention even though 'the require time and effort. Among these are our duties we owe the sick and the honor we owe the dean. Think, brother, think what it would mean 60 you to lie on a sick bed for weeks without seeing one of your brethren with whom you had formerly associated. Think what it would mean to your family if you had been a worker in the order for years, and only a handful of your brethren—possibly a bare 5 or 10—presented themselves to perform the last solemn rites over you. Don't pass this paragraph hurriedly. Think about it now, and then think about it when you hear of the sickness or death of a brother—and do your duty as you would have it done unto you. W. H. Unstead and Wiley Goodridge were among the recent additions to Onward Commandery of Knights Templar. A second breaking class is in anxious, suspense looking forward to being knighted one evening of next week. We must still hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.—Ben Franklin. Among the many logical reasons advanced in favor of Negro representation in the City Hospital Department is the just contention that Negro patients can be better served when under the care of Negro doctors and nurses. A committee composed of Knights Templar, met at the house of Sir I. H. Bradbury, on Cook Avenue, last Tuesday evening and arranged a most interesting program for Knight Templars Easter services. March 5th, a caravan, including thirty novices, will go through Bedouin Valley, thence to the great Desert, and will be accompanied over the sands until reaching Medinah Temple of Shriners. Sir Geo. W. McKoin is especially pleased with the progress the Scottish Rite boys are making in mastering the parts which they are to perform at the Easter services, at St. James A. M. E. Church on the 31st. Editor J. E. Mitchell, of Metsilik Masonic Lodge No. 6, is ill at bis residence, 3113 Pine St. Do you wish to learn French before going "over!" The response of many between the ages of 20 and 40 years, to the offer made Sir E. J. Victoria, of 3419 Lawton Avenue, to teach a class, seems to answer in the affirmative. Hughes Lodge No. 23, K. of P. had degree work last Tuesday night. Moving pictures of Knights Templar, Calanthes and Elks' gatherings are being shown at Booker Washington Theater. Bert Williams of the Ziegfield Follies and Johnnie Woods, the famous ventriloquist, were honored with a banquet by the Elk lodges of the city last Friday night at Polar Wave hall.

In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of provenç merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessarily to shampoo the scalp, but every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasap. Quinasap is made entirely oat, pure vegetable oils, principally cane sugar oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but in sist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv. STUDY GERMAN LANGUAGE Prof. I.
