NO. 49 URBAN LEA FOR ST. LOU AND E. ST National Secretary Her teresting Leading W Citizens In Organ Needed Service In O Especially In Carin grators. Eugene Hineckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National League on Urban conditions among Negroes, with headquarters in New York City, arrived in St. Louis on Sunday last to aid the local people in the formation of the Urban League of St. Louis and East St. Louis. In pursuance of this purpose, Mr. Jones has, during the week, addressed a gathering of white and Colored citizens at the Pine Street Y. M. C. A., the Central Council of Social Agencies in the auditorium of the Central Y. W. C. A., and members of the Executive Board of the Provident-Association in the directors' room of the National Bank of Commerce. On Friday he appeared before a group of business men in the rooms of the East St. Louis Chamber of Commerce. The purposes of the Urban League are as follows: To develop co-operation and co-ordination of existing social welfare agencies; to make investigation of social needs as a basis for practical work; to establish agencies for improvement where needed. The Board of Managers who will be among the leading white and Colored citizens of St. Louis and East St. Louis will be divided into committees which will consider problems in the following fields: Employment, including the advancing of employers on welfare work among Negro employees; Housing; Health and Sanitation; Education; Recreation and Amusement; Duncanency, juvenile and adult; Travelers Aid, including boarding and lodging accommodations and Settlement Activities. A trained executive secretary will be engaged for the work and offices with the necessary working force will be opened in St. Louis and East St. Louis. The organization and the execution of the program of work will be along the lines so effectively followed in New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and many other cities, totaling 26, where the League has affiliated branches. On Wednesday Mr. Jones made the following statement to an Argus reporter: "The wrongs of East St. Louis will never be righted. However, the American people, and especially the right thinking members of both races of the whole St. Louis industrial district owe a great debt to the Negro WHITE SOLDIERS GIVEN 15 YEARS FOR COWARDICE Houston, Texas, March 18.—Sergt. Claud E. Mason and Private Roland V. Pye, members of Company M, 132d Infantry, who recently shot each other in the leg to escape military service, have been found guilty of cowardice and disregard of duty by a court-martial, it became known today, and sentenced to fifteen years each at Fort Leavenworth prison. The men are from Illinois and were stationed at Camp Logan here. "The cowardice and disregard of duty involved in this case justified the imposition of a severe sentence," was Gen. Bell's only comment in approving the court-martial verdict. NEW HOME OF A. U. Southwest Corner Leffingwell The St. Louis Argus sufferers of East St. Louis which can be paid only by the punishment of those guilty of the nation's greatest massacre. Righting that great wrong means restoring, or better, establishing a social order in that community which will guarantee to every man, woman and child safety and encouragement in the fight of life. It means giving every man a decent job, a safe and respectable home at reasonable rent, adequate educational facilities for his children, proper amusement and recreation under wholesome surroundings for his whole family, a healthy body through the enforcement of sanitary laws and protection as to the life and morals." Great Aid to Migrators "The effectiveness of an organization such as the Urban League can be seen in Detroit and in Chicago where as many Negroes 'as came to East St. Louis were absorbed by the population of those cities, with scarcely a ripple in the community. The Urban League quickly got the new comers adjusted to jobs and to lodging houses; directed them to churches; established amusement centers for them, and advised them as to dress and behavior in the newly surrounding. With this accomplished their white neighbors were able to observe that the new Negro citizens were not such a bad lot after all. Thus friction was averted and harmony between the races encouraged. "The Negroes have not all deserted East St. Louis, and many at this time are moving in. Let us do our part to avert a recurrence of the disgraceful events of last spring and early summer. This is a problem of the community—not one of the Negro. The eyes of the nation are on St. Louis and her wicked sister across the river. Let Colored and white men and women rally behind this effort to save our nation's reputation at home while our men, white and black, are struggling on the battle fields of France to save the world for Democracy!" Some of the local men and women who have already lined up behind the movement are Mr. Hubbard, manager of the Provident Association; Rev. J. W Day, Mr. James H. Usher, Mr. Jones, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; Miss Young, of the Juvenile Court; Mrs. Lownstein, Mr. Hayes, Mr. Frank Williams, Dr. C. H. Turner. DePriest Must Fight To Get On Ballot (Special to the Argus.) Chicago, Ill.—Oscar De Priest will not be permitted to have his name on the election day ballots in the 2nd ward as an independent candidate for alderman without a preliminary legal fight. Notice was served with the board of election commissioners that a contest will be started against the De Priest independent petition. An effort will be made by the regular republican organization in the ward, behind Maj. Robert R. Jackson, the Republican nominee, to invalidate the De Priest petition on the ground that it is insufficient and fraudulent. One of the objections to be cited, it is understood, is that many signatures are affixed that seem to be in the same handwriting. A. U. K. & D. of A. Gwell and Lucas Avenues Published In The Interest Of Colored People The trial of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, charged with conspiracy growing out of the East St. Louis riots, last July, was called in Waterloo, Ill., Monday, March 18, on a change of venue from St. Clair County. After spirited opposition by the prosecution, the hearing was postponed until the first Monday in September. Visitors Courteously Treated Visitors Courteously Treated More than a half hundred representative citizens from St. Louis, Mo., and East St. Louis, Ill., were in attendance when the trial was called. The journey was made in several automobiles and on the interurban line. The visitors speak in the highest praise of the courteous treatment accorded them by the citizens of Waterloo, all of whom are white. The best in the city was none too good for them, and dinners were taken at the leading hotel. Doctors Bundy called at the Argus office this week and expressed his thanks to the publishers and all who have assisted in his defense. The St. Louis Negro Business League will meet at 2900 Lawton, Thursday, June, March 28, 1918, 8 o'clock. The program committee expects to go "over the top" again when it presents Dr. J. W. Martin.

NEGROES DID NOT KILL SHOEMAKER That the murderers of James E. Brown, 35 years old, a shoemaker, of 1036 North Whittier street, who was mysteriously slain at 10:30 o'clock last Saturday night at Whittier street and Page boulevard, were white men and not Negroes, as had been thought, was the testimony of William Albers of 4353 ag boulevard, before a coroner's jury Tuesday. Albers stated that following the murder four men carrying revolvers ran past him. Albers said he was positive the men were involved in the killing. Mrs. Brown, who witnessed the shooting of her husband, was unable to state whether the slayers were white men or Negroes. She has been unable to identify any of the men arrested suspected of complicity in the shooting. The police, as usually is the case, have confined their efforts in running down the slayers to arresting Negroes, and the real criminals are getting a long lead in making their escape. KNIGHTSOF PYTHIAS ANNUAL SERMON The annual sermon of the Knights of Pythia will be held at St. Paul Chapel, this Sunday, March 24. Rev. R. H. Cole will be the speaker.

We must raise one thousand dollars ($1,000) on that day, therefore, we earnestly call on all Free Baptists, and all well-wishers and friends of the Free Baptist cause to come out and help us in this hour of great need. The pastor will preach at 11 A.M. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the Rev. Doctor H. G. Shaw, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, has kindly coached to come and preach for us at that hour. Dr. Shaw is well known among all church-goers through-out the land, and has proven himself a "benefactor of mankind." Revs. W. W. Perry, J. W. White, J. W. Ellington, S. V. Terry and Rev. Dunavant have promised to be present with their congregations in the afternoon, to help us win this great campaign. Dr. A. J. Donaldson, the great evangelist of Terre Haute, Indiana, will deliver the message at 8 P.M. He will remain with us and preach every night until the first of April.

MIGRATION IS ADVISED BY McADOO Secretary Of Treasury Says; Most Patriotic Duty Is Seek Work Best Suited, And, If Necessary Move To Other Parts. WASHINGTON, March 16.—Secretary McAdoo today called on American labor not to object if the nation's war policy of conserving credit results in curtailed building operations, but to seek other employment, if necessary, as a patriotic duty. In a letter to Samuel Gompers, answering a protest by the Building Trades Council of San Francisco and other labor unions against shutting down of buildings during the war, McAdoo said: "Men are needed to build ships, to build houses to house men working in the shipyards, to erect plants to produce war material, to run our railroads, to operate war industries, and to produce food required by the Allies and ourselves. These are needs already great and will increase, not less, 'as the war progresses. If our wage earners are to find employment for which they are best fitted and which they would prefer, or if they are unable to find employment where it would be most convenient for them to work, the opportunity is presented to render a most patriotic service in this period of national stress by seeking other kinds of employment, and, if need be, move to other districts where work is to be had." The above is significant inasmuch as the migration of thousands of Negroes from the South, during 1917, was solely for the purpose of filling the shortage of labor, in important industries, due to war. Manufacturers saw the need of Negro labor to keep the planta open. The hostility of the unions, in several localities, has prevented this safeguard and the result is as stated above. DRIVE FOR $10.000 BUILDING FUND Y. M. C. A. Workers Whoop 'Em Up All Must Do Their Duty The new drive, to raise $10,000 for the Y: M. C. A. got a fine start on Tuesday evening when the Y. M. C. A. workers had a most inspiring meeting. All but four teams were repres- ented at the meeting and enthusiasm and determination were much in evidence. The collection of $10,000 by June 9th, while it will call for united effort ought not to be a great task for the men who came together Tuesday night, when it is considered that $40, 000 is yet due the Y. M. C. A. from subscribers right in the city of St. Louis. Collecting $10,000 would hardly mean collecting Y. of what is due since the pledges are legally and morally binding. More than $10,000 should be realized in the drive. At the meeting on Tuesday night speeches were made by the captains and a few of the team workers. Everyone was optimistic and confident of success. The plans as worked out by the captains is that the teams shall make reports every Sat- riday and that the next mass meeting be held Sunday, April 14th. Every subscriber is excepted to pay something if no more than $1, on their pledge by April 14th. With everyone doing bit the $10,000 is assured and the work on the new Y. M. C. A. will be continued. The team workers are living out the slogan, "All St. Louis works together for the Y." CAPTAIN DEAN SPENDS EVEN NING IN ST. LOUIS Capt. Milton Jones who is in charge of the Officers' Training Camp at Camp Funston spent Wednesday evening in the city, the guest of his cousin, Mrs. W. H. King, of 3435 Lorton Ave. The Capt. was en route from Washington, D. C., to Camp Funton having been East to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Maria E. Jones, who died on the 6th inst. PALM SUNDAY AT ALL SAINTS CHURCH The elaborate Palm Sunday ceremonies at All Saints Church will be at the 11 o'clock instead of the 7 o'clock service. The Solemn Procession of the choir and Acolytes, carrying palm branches, through the vestibule and aisles of the church, with responsive singing by the choir and congregation, will take place at the beginning of the service, and be followed by the blessing of the palma. N. A. A. C. P. NOTICES We were unable to notify our numbers that our regular monthly meeting would not be held last Wednesday, March 20, 1918. We are planning a big meeting the third Wednesday in April: Watch the papers for further information. J. W. Day, Pres.; C. P. Wilkerson: See v. NEW YORK HOSPITALS OPEN TO NEGRO INTERNES ST. LOUIS IS ASKED COUNCIL TO STUDY TO HELP BUILD MIGRATION OF COMMUNITY HOUSE COLORED FAMILIES "New York City—A committee composed of members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes; called on the Board of Trustees of the Bellevue and Allied Hospitals in this city recently to learn if their was any prejudice against Negroes being admitted as internes. Mr. E. K. Jones, of the Urban League, said in part: "The Colored people of New York feel that there is a prejudice against Negroes being admitted as internes in Bellevue Hospital. We would like to convey to them from you a message that would alter this impression. "We want to know if color is a determining factor in your selection of internes! If out young students, of medicine felt that they would be admitted on a basis of merit rather than color, we are certain that more of them would apply for the examinations based upon which appointments are made." Mr. O. Keeffe, Secretary of the Board of Trustees said: "Relative to the question of internships such appointments in Bellevue and Allied Hospitals are made solely on ability and merit Activity Officer at Funston Says, Plans Are Authorized. Work Started by Boosters' Club Was Halted by Telegram. Were to Join Kansas City in a General Campaign. Camp Funston, Kans., Mar. 20. St. Louis Argus; I note in your issue March 15, "Community House stopped, account of telegram from here which read 'Kansas City Committee, a Frost.'" Whoever sent such telegram sent a falshood. W. C. Huston, chairman of committee, has been working in cooperation with me and to a degree, under my direction; he has nothing to do with handling of funds he has received. He has received he funds that have not been promptly placed to the Community House credit. I am Activity Officer for 92nd Division and all funds sent to me will be accounted for by an Auditing Committee. All money will be spent for the welfare of the men of the division. I am captain in the National Army and will give bond, if required, to account for all funds. I have the approval from authorities at Washington to build Community House and the place is located. All needed is the funds. I refer to Lieutenant B. H. Mosby, formerly of your city, who is my assistant. I trust this telegram will set your people right and that they will go ahead and raise funds and send as soon as possible. Anxane deairing information will write me. Captain Sam Bucklen. Activity Officer, 92nd Div. NOTE.—The above telegram refers to the decision of the Boosters' Club of St. Louis, to wait on special authority of the Activity Officer at Camp Funston before continuing in the campaign to raise funds to assist in building a Community House at the camp for Colored soldiers. The St. Louisans were to work in conjunction with a committee in Kansas City, but decided to wait because of the telegram mentioned, although they were advised to proceed alone and were told that Mr. Huston was "O.K."—The president of the Boosters' Club is Crittenden Clark, an attorney, at 1403 Market St., who will probably confer immediately with Activity Officer Buckle. MEDICAL FORUM MEETING The St. Louis Medical Forums met in regular session Tuesday evening at 2607 Lawton Ave., and heard a thoughtfully prepared paper on the "Topography of the Chest, as It Relates to Diagnosis," presented by Dr. A. W. Cheatham. The speaker showed that he had spent considerable time and energy in its preparation and that capitalized knowledge on the subject matter had been carefully scanned, but no effort was made at originality. The regular quiz was conducted by Dr. G. B. Key. ST LOUIS SOLDIER DIES Edward Hoskins, Troop K, 10th Cavalry, died March 8, at Huehneau, Arizona, and was buried March 15 in the National Cemetery at Jefferson Barracks with military honors. Hoskins was a St. Louisan: He enlisted in the 42nd Infantry in 1910, served two years and nine months in the Philippines and received his honorable discharge. He enlisted in the 10th Cavalry, where he served intikh his death. Capt. Johnson, of Troop K, says: "Private Hoskins was an excellent soldier, who was liked by his officers and fellow soldiers, and his, unfortunate death was a source of genuine sorrow to all of us." MRS. MAGGIE COOK DIES Mrs. Maggie Cook, wife of Rev. Victor Cook, of the M. E. connection, died in 'El Paso, Texas, Wednesday. March 12, 1918, of pneumonia. Mrs. Cook was formerly a resident of St. Louis, and was brought here for burial. of candidates regardless of race or creed." Mr. Samuel Sachs said that the Colored people of New York city should be told that any Negro applying for appointment as interne at these hospitals would be judged solely an ability and merit, and that investigation of any claims to the contrary would be welcomed. He further expressed a desire that he be personally informed in advance concerning the number of Negroes qualified or qualifying for such examination, and especially when any one of them contemplates being. Request was also made by the Bellevue authorities that a list of Negroes now studying in the New York medical colleges be secured and referred to them, that they might be at any moment conversait with conditions examined. The attitude expressed was to the effect that ability and merit are the sole qualifications for the candidates, and that qualified young Negro doctors may look forward to a hopeful future with respect to becoming members of the interne staff of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals. St. Louis Colored Unit of the National Defense Will Endeavor To Learn Reasons For Leaving South and Provide Better Housing, Recreation, Education and Other Advantages. The Colored Women's Unit of the Council of National Defense is conducting a study of migration of colored people during the years 1916-1918. This work is under the Missouri School of Social Economy and is entirely for the advancement of the Colored people and non-Asian some have felt, with an idea of asking the people to return South. St. Louis rather is endearing 15 to outdefinitely reasons for the migration, and to provide ultimately better housing, means of recreation, education, and other advantages which will lead to improvement of the life of families. Mrs. Helen B. Smith is chairman of the Housing Committee, which is conducting the survey. The ward chairmen are Mrs. Charles E. Herritt, ward 16; Mrs. Mildred Anthony, ward 12; Mrs. Roy Alexander, ward 16; Miss Dorothy Gunn, ward 17; and Mrs. Grace Mackay, wards 22 and 23. The operation of all the people of St. Louis is much desired for the move is a very important step in ascertaining the needs of the Colored families. Miss Wilder, of the School of Normal Economy, will speak Monday at 11 a.m. at the Community House on Garison Avenue. All are urged to attend to hear a discussion of this work. THEATRE FOR SMILEAGE TICKETS NEARLY READY A telegram has been received in St. Louis, by W. D. Thompson of the Chamber of Commerce, which states that the Liberty Theatre for Negroes will soon be completed at Camp. Fugsten, where Smileage Tickets will be honored. The campaign is still on in St. Louis. The soldier boys in camp will be unable to enjoy the Smileage privilege unless their friends or relatives buy a $1.00 book of 20 tickets and send it to them. Books are on sale at all Colored business places. CARONDELET NEWS Mrs. Ada McField was hostess to the South Eudictary Club in their regular monthly meeting. They planned great, things for their Spring work. After the regular business was transacted, we were the guests of a refreshing repast. Mrs. Loye Brown, Press, Mrs. L. K.

As we go to press we receive the sad intelligence of the death of Mr. Wash Kemp, an old member of Corinthian Baptist Church. An Exponent Or Truth and Justice PRICE 5 CENTS NEGROES BUILDING WAR SHIPS Half Of Force At New- port News Are Colored, Work Side By Side With Whites. Make As High As $90 a Week. The March 16 issue of *Collier* contains an article on shipbuilding at Newport News, Va., by Edward Huer- ford, which clearly shows the important part Negroes are playing in this great war. The Newport News yard is one of the largest and one of the busiest in the country, where the gover- ment is turning out great merchant craft for war transportation. Hungerford writes: "And today fairy one half of the 7,800 men and boys who work under Homer Ferguson in the Newport News shipyard are black skinned. White men and black men work not only in the same yard but in the same buildings. And this is the South—the Old Dominion, if you please. On a huge traveling crane that runs the length of the yard's biggest erecting shop a white man operates the motors overhead; a Negro on the floor winds the grips. In the yard outside on a huge ship coming into being white painters work upon the upper side of the deck; black painters upon the under surfaces of the sapie deck. "Do you get me! Something must be concealed to the traditions of the South." Hungerford quotes Homer L. Ferguson, the master builder, as saying: "Don't you dare come down from the North to this yard and tell us that the black man in the South is an industrial failure—you who only use him as an elevator boy or a parlor car porter, or a chauffeur and refuse to give him an equal industrial opportunity with white labor. How long would one of our expert machinists last at Taunton or at Paterson or at Scherfcady? What opportunity would the unions give him? Can one of our good rivetors go North and join the union? He cannot. And otherwise he cannot drive a single rivet." Some of the Negro riveters make as high as $90 a week upon occasion, but these are the exceptions. All, however, are drawing big pay. They are well housed and there is also a special cantonment and a hut provided by the Y. M. C. A. OHIO NEWSPAPER WINS LIBEL SUITS Cleveland, O., Mar. 18—Rev. Charles H. Crable, pastor of Mt. Haven Baptist Church and Ormond H. Forte, an all-issue publisher, have been found guilty of criminal libel, in the case instituted last December against them by the editor of the Cleveland Gazette as the result of the publication of Crable's title letter, December 1. The above cases are part of six, in which the Gazette has figured in the past six weeks, all of which they have colored weeklies in the country, being now in its 35th year. Harry C. Smith is the editor. WOMEN AID THRIFT STAMP SALE A mass meeting of Negro women was held Sunday afternoon, March 17, 1918, at Metropolitan A. M. P. Zion Church, Garraison and Locas Aves, under the auspices of the Colored Women's Unit Council of National Defense. Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, Chairman, presided. Speakers were Mrs. Theodore B募ist, State Chairman of the Women's Committee of National Defense; Mr. Thomas Q. Dix, Dr. J. K. Parker, Mrs. Pearl M. Dabney, of Kansas City, Mo. Gen. Wm. H. Butler, and Mr. A. W. Lloyd. Captains were appointed for the various churches to organize the campaign for the "sale of Thrift Stamps and later the sale of Liberty Bonds. Warning! Notice is hereby given that Miss Virginia Stanford, of New York City, never was legally married to Iku Shamato, of Tokyo, Japan, and all persons, circulating this slander will be duly prosecuted. The true facts in this startling case will be, made public in this city under the title of "The Curse of Iku" at the Pendleton Theatre, Pendleton and Finney Avenues, this Sunday, March 24. Friday, fair and mild, strong winds probably. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, fajt. Not much change in the temperature. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS CHURCHES The Sunday school says: Watch your step, and for the date of the "Fruit of His Folly." The voice of the pastor was very pleasing to the congregation Sunday morning, as he had not delivered in a message since the beginning of festive time two weeks ago. Wurkmann Wawel, now the pastor saloon. That God wants workers, the inducements offered, and the reward the laborers receive, were some of the interesting points in Rev. Smith's sermon. When the sermon was finished several took advantage of the opportunity and joined the church. The pastor always makes it plain to the congregation that not only the doors of Lane Tabernaile swings open when the invitation is extended, but that they then have access to any Protestant church in the city. Members have been sent to most all the leading churches. There is considerable speculation among the members as to what club will win the ticket to the General Conference. All of the captains are wide awake, and will make it very interesting for the one that wins. Each club will raise $100.00. Mrs. Ella Howell, president missionary department, conducted league services last Sunday. A large crowd greeted Mrs. Howell and she had a lovely meeting. The L. S. Person club and Epworth League will have a series of debates every Wednesday evening. The Query box will also be open. Miss Ethel Copeland will conduct league services Sunday. The pastor has a surprise for the congregation rally day, Sunday, April 14. Scruggs Progressive Club To our delight the progressives have at last broken their silence and promise us a rare treat Sunday afternoon, April 7. A sacred concert at 4 p.m. on Sunday is something, new to the members of Lane Tabernacle. Of course the house will be crowded, and we are sure the audience will have well entertained. The Scruggs Progressive Club has always done things differently. Many have been the social affairs given by its members and the kind we always enjoy. There's something else we admire about this club, the quiet way they go about things, and the way they help all other clubs. The exact value of Scruggs Progressive Club to our church is indeed insaneable. Mrs. Susie Mason, the president, is about the bestest lady in Lane Tabernacle. Mrs. Mason spoke possessively when she informed the church conference that the progressives would certainly raise their assessments. Miss Eligia Tyler, the modest secretary, noted for her sweet disposition, and always full of considerate kindness for all those about her, is loved by everybody, and the club is to be congratulated on making such an excellent selection. On the 11th of April when the final count is made, if they are not the winners they will not bring up the rear. But it isn't the ticket to Chicago that arouses Mrs. Mason's and Miss Tyler's enthusiasm, its the determination to win, the aversion to defeat, and the love all leaders have for victory. EASTER WEEK AT CENTRAL CHURCH Beginning with Palm Sunday there will be every night services at Central with Easter, Sunday as the grand climax. Sunday morning Pastor Stevens will preach on, "When Lord's Supper in the afternoon and baptism at night. Rev. J. K. Parker will presch Monday night. Rev. J. T. Caston on Tuesday night. Rev. O. C. Maxwell on Wednesday night. Rev. P. Dumaven on Thursday night and on Friday the pastor and all the ordained ministers of, the church will have charge; this night will be the great public prayer service of the membership. Each night there will be soul stirring music. Desson Jasper Jones and his quartet will sing jubilee hymns at each service. Each day during Passion week from four to five o'clock there will be a prayer service at the church. The great rally for one thousand dollars will end on Easter day when the membership will lay down that amount in the special envelope. The Easter day program will appear in the paper next week.

We thank God and the State of Illinois for sending us this earnest and useful pastor, Rev W. Henry Harris, the man under whose preaching one never grows tired. Come find hear him and know him. He came to us from Danville, Ill., three years ago. Since that time he has been a Jeremiah weeping for the condition of the people in this most wicked city. His Bible motto is the saying of our Lord and Jesus Christ: "And if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me." He has brought into the light of God about eight hundred souls and has preached fewer funerals than any pastor in the city. So you see, dear readers, Rev Wm. Henry Harris preaches the way.

Religious orthodism, powerful demonstrations of the Holy Spirit, and the ingathering of souls has characterized every service of the great meeting now being conducted by Dr. H. R. Wilson of Waco, Texas. "One hundred eight persons have been added to the church during this campaign. The auxiliaries are assisting materially in bringing about these great results for the Master; 5 confessions being made in the Sunday school March 15th. Services are being held at 3 and 7:30 p.m. each day; and to the saved we say "Come over and help us." to the unsaved, "Come and go with us and we will do you good." We feel safe in saying that Dr. Wilson is indeed a power under God for the saving of souls, having few equals and possibly no superiores as an evangelist. We heftily and most cheerfully command him as such. We regret to say that Sister Moseley, wife of our pastor, is now in the hospital for treatment. We miss her very much in all things connected with our work. We sympathize with our pastor in this his wife's illness and pray for her speedy recovery. A commission consisting of the Boards of the National Baptist Convention, Dr. E. C. Morris, president, and the convention over which Dr. E. P.

Our pastor, who is a member of the Board of the National Baptist Convention, was called upon to sit in this very important council. He returns today (Wednesday) reporting good news as a result of their labors, Dr. Morris, and Dr. Boyd shook glad hands of fellowship. Peace and harmony prevails in the ranks of the Baptists of the nation. Hear Dr. Wilson! CONFIRMATION AT LUTHERAN CHURCH On the coming Sunday the annual Confirmation Service of Grace Mission will be held at Immanuel Lutheran Church, corner 15TH and Morgan Sta. Confirmation is a good old church custom of the Lutherans and has been in vogue at Grace Mission at 1701 Morgan for many years. Owing to the size of the crowd that is expected on this Sunday, the congregation has been very fortunate in securing a large church for this service. Immanuel Church seats over 1,000 people. Grace Colored Mission is a member of the Missouri Synod body of Lutherans and is supported thereby. This church is only one of many other congregations and mission-stations located in different parts of the country. In fact, the work among the race is the principal branch of mission work of this body. Annually nearly $100,000 is expended to bring the pure Gospel and greater education to the people of all classes of the race. Last year alone nearly 600 people were admitted as members of the church. The adults among these, prior to admittance, received a thorough course of instruction in the teaching of the Bible. About two years ago a new mission field was opened in Alabama. This work had immediate success. Hundreds flocked to hear the preaching of the Gospel and to attend the schools which were opened at the various mission stations. Since then the work has been greatly enlarged upon. Everyone who wishes to gain a closer insight into the activities of the Lutheran Church is invited to attend the Confirmation. Service on Sunday. A number of children will be baptized, and the service will be beautified by a Sunday school choir. Pastor H. Claus will lead the service, which will begin promptly at 2:30 p. m.. Everybody is welcome. Rev Perry G. Boggs, who has been a member of the Antioch Baptist Church, for more than 30 years was laid to rest last Saturday, 16th inst. The funeral services were held at the Central Baptist Church, owing to the fact that Rev. Boggs was an officer and an active worker in the Antioch Missionary Baptist Convention, and its Auxiliaries and it was feared the Antioch church building would not be large enough to contain the crowd that would be in attendance at the funeral. At the time of his death, he was serving as Missionary for the Convention, which position he had held for a number of years with much credit to himself ad benefit to the cause of Christ. WOMEN'S AUXILIARY NO.1 The Women's Auxiliary No. 1 meet March 17th with /Baden Baptist Church. The meeting was excellent and attendance splendid.

Shaw, delivered two very able and inspiring sermons. Both sermons last Sunday, are the talk of his entire parish. The manner in which he handled the two word subject Sunday night, "The Bat," fairly captivated his audience. Mrs. M. J. Hall the great evangelist, that passed through St. Louis a few Sabbaths ago and swept the Metropolitan Church and people like a mighty cyclone, will return to the city this week and begin a series of meetings at the above church. We are expecting to begin the services Sunday in the celebration of the Holy Week. Mrs. Hall will speak each night beginning with Wednesday night. Monday and Tuesday nights will be taken in messages from the General Officers of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Doctors Wallace and Martin. The pastor has asked for a full week of concession of every member in his church. WOMEN'S AUXILIARY The Women's Auxiliary to the Seven Church Baptist Union met Sunday, March 17, at the Corinthian Baptist Church; 615 W. Stein St. Pastor Bates and members gave us a hearty welcome, which made our meeting a good one. The sermon by Rev. W. W. Perry of El Bethel was indeed a good one and the speaker left no stone unturned in pointing out to us the value of good women. Our next meeting will be at the Bethel Baptist Church, 729 South 4th Street, Rev. B. Robinson, pastor. A very interesting program has been arranged. Don't forget the date, April 7 at 2 p.m. Collection $9.45. Mrs. A. Hall, President; Mrs. P. W. Riggin, Secretary. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES "The Habitation of God" was the theme of Dr. Johnson, Sunday morning. If ever the members of St. Paul have had an occasion to rejoice and feel the spirit-burning on the altar of their hearts, it was Sunday morning. The pastor first complained of feeling some what indisposed, and we did not expect to hear a soul stirring sermon as he is accustomed to preach. But after he made his second or third point, showing how God visited Moses in the burning bush and was with him, through all his trials, he seemed as though he was caught up with the Holy Spirit, and many were the "Amens" as he related biblical incidents that confronted the children of Israel, in the old dispensation as well as in the new Christian era. Those who were heavily oppressed and heavily burdened, and felt as though they had not a friend in the world, were made to feel as though they were in the presence of the great Jehovah. Strong men went, and "Glory to God in the Highest" was heard from every book and corner of the church. On account of the enthusiasm and the wave of the Holy Spirit, the preacher of the "West" was not permitted to GATES & MANUEL ...Undertakers...

The sermon was very appropriate and there was a delightfully large audience to hear him. His subject for the evening was "The End of the Wicked." This text takes from the 5th chapter of Ecclesiastes. "And I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the Holy and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done; this is also vanity." The membership is still increasing.

LESSON TEXT—Mark 6:22-50. GOLDEN TEXT—The son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Matt 20:3. DEVOTIONAL READING—John 6:35-40 ADDITIONAL MATERIAL TEACHERS—Exodus 16:14-18. Matt. 25:11; Luke 14:21- James 1:27. Rev. 17. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus a helper at all times. MEMORY VERSE—Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.—Mark 6:50 INTERMEDIATE TOPIC—Helping the needy. SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC This parable marks the high level of the year of popularity in the life of our Lord. It is such an important miracle as to be the only one recorded by all four gospel writers. The returning disciples (v. 31) are urged by the Master to come with him into a desert place and rest and also that he might comfort their hearts over the death of John the Baptist. "They had no leisure." Jesus knew the need and also the proper use of leisure, but the multitude would not grant him this but flocked to his retreat in the desert. They followed that they might listen to his gracious words, or behold some new burden, but Jesus also saw and ministered. (v. 24). Carylle said he saw in England "forty million people mostly fool." Not so with Jesus; he saw and was moved, not with surcasin, but with a compassion that took the form of teaching (v. 34). It is better to teach a man how to help himself than to help the man without the teaching. We also infer that the soul of a man is of more value than his body. It is not enough, however, to say "God bless you; he warmed and fed," when a man is hungry. Syppathys must issue in action. A Great Task. John tells us of the conversation with Phillip. Phillip lived in Bethsaida nearby, but to feed this multitude was too great a task, even with his knowledge and resources (John 6:3, 7). Yet we need not be surprised at Phillip's slowness of faith. Moses in a similar case was once nonplussed as to how to feed the thousands in the wilderness (see Numbers 11:21-33). The central fact concerns neither the need nor our poverty, but the absolute surrender of our all—however little—to God. Another disciple, Andrew, who had brought his brother, Simon Peter, to the Savior, in his desperation found a boy whose mother had thoughtfully provided him with a lunch consisting of five barley biscuits and two small dried herrings (John 6:19). This is a great commentary on the tide of interest at this time—that even this hungry boy should have forgotten his lunch; the circumstance emphasized the helplessness of the disciples in order that Jesus might show his power. His command "Give ye them." (v. 37) teaches us that we are to give what we have, not to look to others, nor to do our charity by proxy (Pro. 11:24, 25). Again the Savior asks his disciples to seek (v. 38) as though he would teach them the boundless resources of his kingdom. Give what you have and he will bless and increase it to meet the needs of the multitude. The secret of success pointer to the moment when he took the loaves and looking up (to God who also saw their needs), he blessed it. Living Bread. This conservation process was a stinging rebuke to the orientals, and is being emphasized in these days of food conservation in connection with war needs. Too long we have been prodigal of God's inerrible bounties. God gives us that we may use; and we lose it undes it is shared. Jesus, the living bread, (John 6:38) will satisfy hunger and give life. As bread generates in the human body heat, energy, vitality and power, so he will feed the hungry souls of men. We have at hand the Word. It is for lack of it that men die in the deepest and truest sense of that Word. The poverty and perplexity of the disciples in the presence of similar great need, is being repeated over and over again, and yet how faithless it is. We have not enough to feed the multitude. Our few loaves of comfort, amusement, counsel, etc., will not sustain them in the present world's crisis; but when we break unto them the living bread, it meets the deep hunger of the human heart; and they will have enough and to spare if they will only eat it. In these days when the emphasis is being laid on material bread for the sustenance of the nation, there is great danger lest we forget the necessity of breaking the living bread to the starving multitudes of the world. We must maintain the supremacy of the spiritual, or lack the dynamic to provide the material. How true the words of the late Dr. Maltbie Dayenport Babcock: Back of the boat is the snowy flour; Back of the floor the mill; The problem which the disciples could not meet, Jesus discerned and solved. As they co-operated with him and gave of that which he had first blessed, each had a basketfull to take away, and thus was well repaid for sharking with the multitude. Sunday school, 10 A. M.

THE EXODUS FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES We, like Secretary McAdoo, say, that the greatest sacrifice a man can make for his country in this time of stress, is to seek other employment in order to improve your condition, and if needs be, go elsewhere to make the conditions better. Negroes leave the South in order that their citizenship may not be dwarfed. In order that their children in time may be a credit to America and the race. In order to properly fit themselves and their relatives for the reception of democracy in its truest sense. And, above all, to escape from the tyranny of their oppressors. Why does the Negro leave the South? Why does a man hasten from prison walls? Why does a captive bird fly as high into the air as possible, when it is liberated from its hateful cage? Every Negro man and woman who has lived in the South for any length of time, will tell you that the air feels lighter, the fields seem more verdant, the Sun shines brighter in almost any other section of America than it does in the South. Freedom, that boon for which all human beings crave and have craved since the world has been created, is the one great beacon which is tending to gradually depopulate the South of its Negro inhabitants. They are seeking that thing called freedom; journeying toward the sunlight of justice. Leaving the land of their torturers; just as the children of Israel left the realm of the Egyptians going somewhere in America or some other country where they may be able to educate and rear their children with out hindrance and without danger. Going where a man's color is not heralded as a badge of persecution. Migrating somewhere and to some place where justice is a reality and civilization not a sham. Seeking surroundings where the most humble citizen may live and pursue his daily vocation in peace and harmony. They call it the "Sunny South," but there are countless thousands who will testify that shadows blacker than the blackest night come to mock the sunshine for the Negro. They say that the South is the Negro's native clime and that it is there that he can live and thrive. True it is that he can live; but under such trying conditions as would blast the hope of any soul. With lynchings, burnings, whitecapping Jim Crowism and inhuman treatment on every side, the Negro has learned the lesson that "danger lurks no more deadly, than in the hearts of those whom we have called our friends." Why condemn the Negro for leaving the South? Why wonder at the thousands, yea, hundreds of thousands who are seeking better environments? Why start investigations, when the real cause has been known for years, and known best to those who have had the making of the laws? THE WORLD THROUGH A WINDOW It is a poor view one gets of the world looking out of a window. The procession goes by, and one sees it. The snow fall, and one beholds it upon the ground. A car hurries past, and it is taken note of, and the men and women and little children move across the pane of glass through which one peeps, but it is a poor view of the world just the same. To see the world and to know it, one must get out of the house he must march with the procession, and be of the procession. He must meet people face to face, and hear their voices, and allow them to hear his voice, before he knows them—and it is hard enough to know them even then. There are a lot of people who have seen the world only by looking out of a window. Such people usually overrate themselves, and underrate all else besides. Their views of life and of the world are as narrow as the pane of glass through which they peeped at life, or at the world. Their sympathies are as shallow as their thoughts, however, there criticisms may be expressed in classic terms. The world is all right when you know it; people are all right when you know them. But no man's judgment of the world or of people, is of any value if he has looked too long through a window. THE FARMER'S WORK UNION MEMORIAL CHURCH REVIVAL A Great Lenten Revival at Union Memorial Church. Last Sunday a Great Day. More than a Score of Persons Came into the Church. Unique Crowds Hear Dr. R. E. Jones of New Orleans, La; M. There is a great spiritual awakening at Union Memorial Church in the Lenten revival now going on. Crowds of people hear Dr. Jones every night, but last Sunday the capacity of the church was taxed all day and more than a score of people came into church fellowship. Next Sunday will be "Decision Day." The Sunday school will observe it as Children's Day. Parents are requested to bring or send their children to the service at 9 A.M. Dr. Jones will preach a special sermon to the children at 9:45 A.M. Other services of the day will be as follows: 41 A.M. Sermon—"Grand United Order of the Sons of God," by Dr. R. E. Jones. 2 P.M. The Masonic Courts and the Heroines of Jericho will hold service. 8 P.M. Sermon—"The Universal King, the Typical Democrat," by Dr. E. E. Jones. The singing is a special feature of every service. It is inspiring and edifying. If you get a seat next Sunday, you must come early, for the crowds will be here and seats will be at a premium even in the gallery. Gobd Friday, March 29, Prof. Gerald Tyler has prepared the choir to render "The Crucifixion." It will be an inspiring service. No admission fee charged, just bring an offering. Passion Week—Holy week there will be something special every night. Make Peanut Butter at Home by Grinding Nuts Through a Food Chopper Deliulous peanut butter—a highly nutritious food—may be made at home by grinding the roasted nuts in a food chopper, according to Miss Flora Monroe, director of the cafeteria in the Kansas State Agricultural college. The housewife may vary her uses of this food from the customary use in sandwiches. Puddings, soups, breads, and cakes are enriched by the use of peanut butter. It serves both as shortening and thickening and adds flavor and color. The true worth of peanut butter has never been realized, believes Miss Monroe. 'It has been generally considered a difficult food to digest, and consequently has been avoided in the diets. When properly masticated it is easily digested. A prejudice against peanut butter is often caused by ignorance in its use. The butter should be combined with twice the amount of thin cream or milk, and stirred until it is of the creamy consistency of mayonnaise. The flavor can be varied by adding chopped pickles or olives, catsup, onion juice, cheese or fruits. Dates stuffed with peanut butter are appetizing. Whole-wheat muffins, drop cakes, and salads are a few of the numerous ways in which this food may be used. It adds a delicious flavor to SAYINGS OF A SAGE It is awfully hard to generate any respect for a man who wears a lot of rings on his fingers. Husbands, and wives, should remember that they married for worse as well as better and act accordingly. A woman declares that she has the best husband on earth, but that is no sign that she expects to meet him in heaven. A woman who is satisfied with her neighbor is never satisfied with herself—but who ever saw a woman satisfied with her neighbor? THE RETINA THEATRE TWENTIETH AND MARKET Monday, March "SON OF DEMOCRACY" Tuesday—Kuth Roland in "PRICE OF FOLLY" Coming Soon, Pearl White in "THE HOUSE OF HATE" SPECIAL FEATURES DAILY THE NEW YORK TIMES Spring Typhoid By DR. SAMUEL G, DIXON Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania The news of the loss of our transport reminds us of the way in which we are to be robbed of our young people during this war and should remain at home, to the necessity of guarding our lives and protecting ourselves against disasters no, less dangerous. From now on typhoid must be carefully watched as an en- emy. PETER B. Old winter has stored the flith of the season on our hillsides and along the banks of the streams. With the melting of the snow and ice in the spring, all of this fifth will be washed into the streams and carried to our waterworks. This will test the filter plants to their capacities, many of which have too small a margin to care for an excessive flow of fifth. Breakdowns will occur and the people must be prepared to protect themselves by boiling water for domestic purposes upon the first indication of trouble with their local water supplies. In view of the above, the question ought to arise in the people's minds, with all the money that is being spent in the beautifying of our cities, whether or not it would not be wiser to use this money for the enlarging and improving of the purification plants so that our waters may be safe, and wait a little longer for our boulevards and parkways. We certainly must use all known ways, and where possible, devise new ones, to protect the health of the young population and to conserve what we now have from unnecessary destruction. American Soldiers Buried in Cemeteries in France, Each Grave Marked Word having come from Washington that a new organization was being formed, known as the Purple Cross association, a body of undertakers who are anxious to go to France to assume charge of the bodies of the dead, the actual arrangements of the army are worth mentioning, writes a war correspondent. The new association wishes to be allowed to follow the troops to the front line to receive the body of every man who is killed or dies from natural causes and after embalming it, ship it back to the States. This arrangement is impractical, as it would mean that many ships probably would be needed for this work. The American expeditionary force has a grave registration service, which is a division in the chief quartermaster's department. At the head of this department is a major of the regular army, who is responsible for the proper burial of the American soldiers who die in France and for the registration and marking of their graves. Two, officers and 50 men in each division do this work, and these units will be increased later on. Two American cemeteries have already been laid out in France and several smaller ones have been plotted nearer the front. Each grave is marked with an iron marker and in each is deposited the soldier with proper identification. In addition photographs and descriptions of the spot are made and sent to the soldier's relatives at home. Shall the Negro join the Labor Union, is a question that the working classes of numerous cities scribbling with joy and the satisfaction 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 spasmic 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 16, 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 freep's remarks remind me of a right fine Virginia gentleman, Cunnel C—— of Richmond, who died a few years ago and went straight to Heavens An' when he interdoosed 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 aint on a hess, and Vaint never seen the Cunnel afoot." So, dere was the old Cunnel wid dose pearly gates closed in front of him an' harpt music driftin' out to him. Finally he sees a little bit of a way to do it. Down in the line behind him was his old culldus seryant, 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'han' and knees and be the Cunnel's hoss. Ol' Sam, he does it, an' Cunnel C—— rides up to the pearly gates again. St. Peter sittip' back of the ticket office only sees the Cunnel's head, and says: "That's better, sah. You hiteh you hoss outside there and walk right in." The audience 'got' the Niveter. 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. Every Negro who has been given employment and fair treatment by his employers, who fails to stand by them in the face of this crisis in the history of our common country, will be guilty of ingratiate 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.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of proven 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 necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap 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 insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstore or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his whole saler 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. Dr. Louis Rush WITH THE MARKET ST. CLINIC Has Moved from 2117 to 2105a.

Washington's Death Was Caused From Diphtheria According to Physicians In most histories it is sited that George Washington died from pneumonia, or quinsy, but Dr. J. A. Nydeger of the United States, public health service sends to the Medical Record a letter written by Dr. Cullen Dick of Alexandria, Va., on January 10, 1800, which shows that "the undoubtedly died of diphtheria." The letter recounts the circumstances of Washington's last hours, the consultations of the physicians in attendance, of whom Doctor Dick, the writer of the letter, was one, and tells how Dick urged that the sufferer's trachea (windpipe) he cut open so as to permit him to breathe. The other doctors would not consent to this. They had bled their August patient in vain, and would not even give a name to the disease from which he was dying. It appears that Doctor Dick was reluctant to acknowledge that there had been an outbreak of croup in Alexandria, and he would use only the term "inflammatory quinis"; for that with which Washington was afflicted. Doctor Dick's description of the disease, to which he proposed to give the name "cynanche larynges," was one of diphtheria; he did not use that word perhaps because it had not yet been invented.
