L., April 30.—Last week, while acting judge Bunn was presiding over the city court and having a case necro in a Negro chauffeur was charged with having violated a city ordinance; the prosecuting witness, being the city detective, the detective failed to substantiate his charge and the Negro chauffeur was Charged. The detective became enraged at the ruling of the judge and fancied that a Negro witness setting in the court room, made "face" at him, whereupon he (the detective) rushed up to the Negro and struck him in the face with his fist and at the same time, placed his hand upon his hip pocket as an emphasis that he would shoot if resistance was made. All this took place in the court room, while the judge was sitting on the bench. A police officer took hold of the Negro and shoved him out of the court room. The Negro went away without making any resistance to the assault. About three hours afterwards this Negro was arrested by a police office and placed in the county jail; by order of the acting judge of the city court, 30 days for contempt of court. This incident took place on Saturday morning. On the following Monday a delegation of Colored men called on the acting city judge and begged him to release the Negro from prison—asserting that the prisoner had done no wrong, but that the detective who assaulted the Negro was guilty of contempt of court. The judge issued an order directed to the sheriff to turn the Negro loose. The detective is still "on his job." In the meantime the Commissioner of Public Safety, A. H. Mooneykam, who is in charge of the police department, has received a set of resolutions from the Raleigh branch of "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People," asking that the recent city court episode between Detective Tom Crabtree and Sam Townes, will be given a public investigation at the earliest possible me The St. Louis Argus will be served free and the admission will be free. Come out and see how the Woodmen do things. Persons between the ages of 16 and 50 years of age may join any night for $2.50. Honorable Emmet J. Scott, assistant to the secretary of war, orator and statesman, and for many years confidential secretary to the late Booker T. Washington, will speak in St. Louis under the anpies, of the Y. M. C. A. and Business League, next Wednesday night, May 8th, 5 p.m., at Central Baptist Church. Mr. Scott has rendered eminent service to the race in seeing that the Negro soldiers throughout the country were given a square deal. During the administration of ex-President Taff, Mr. Scott had the distinction of being one of the three commissioners sent to Liberia to determine what services the United States government, could reader to that small republic. As a result of his efforts, Liberia was rendered financial assistance by the United States of America and the constabulary of Liberia was reorganized. Mr. Scott has the ear of the Secretary of War and the President and wields tremendous influence for good in the behalf of the race. Mr. Scott will have a great hearing in St. Louis which a man of his distinction deserves. The Y. M. C. A. and Negro Business League are inviting all organizations of the city to co-operate in this meeting and make it a big success. DRS. PHILLIPS AND WEAVER SPEAK AT MADISON, ILL. Meeting Held Monday Night in Honor of Draftees Before a meeting attended by more than two thousand black and white citizens of Madison, Ill., given in honor of the draftees of that city who departed last Tuesday morning for Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill., Dr. C. H. Phillips, the noted orator and former congressional candidate for the twelfth Missouri district, made the principal speech, in which he urged the draftees, to "acquaint yourselves as true Americans, be loyal to your country, true to the patriotic traditions of your race and faithful to your God." Pointing his finger in the direction of the Mayor, the orator exclaimed, "Mr. Mayor, we are going to Europe, to give our lives upon the blood-stained battle fields of Flounders, to make the world safe for America, but when we return we hope to find America safe for the Negro." Mayor F. A. Goreshee of Madison, Ill., in an enthusiastic address said, "The white man gave the Negro his freedom and made the Negro the white man's equal in every respect and the colored people should demonstrate their gratitude by helping the white man in this crisis." Dr. Darrington Weaver's address was frequently interrupted with applause and his reference to the part the Negro has always played in all the wars in which the nation has been engaged, brought the audience to its feet. Skating Saturday, 8 p.m., at Y. W. C. A. Published In The Interest Of Colored People AN OPEN LETTER ONUTTERANCES OF CATHOLIC PRIEST Right Reverend Archbishop Glennon. Dear Sir: We desire by this means to call your attention to the most unusual and unrighteous conduct and words of the day. Father Walsh, pastor of St. Ann's Catholic Church, Whittier St. and Page Bldw., on Sunday, April 21, 1918. Our information is gathered from an article in the St. Louis Argus and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of April 21, in which Father Walsh is reported as having on the date mentioned, said in his sermon, "Negroes were hovering over the white people like airplanes over a battlefield." Coming to the front of his chancel he said, "If there were any Negroes in his congregation, they should know that they were not welcome." He is reported as advising the women of the neighborhood to organize a military company in which they should receive instructions to protect themselves from Negroes. Many other expressions equally as unjust are reported as having come from the lips of this priest. It must be known by you that if this article reports the truth concerning the words of Father Walsh, he is unfit to be a priest of the church. He has violated every primary rule of the gospel of Jesus as concerns human brotherhood. At this time, when our country is at war against oppression and in the behalf of democracy, he has done all that was possible for him to do to inflame the prejudice of those who were committed to his care. We believe that the church stands for the same-broad principles of justice and right in St. Louis as it does everywhere. We refuse to believe that the church's sense of justice is here conditioned upon the apparent depreciation of property which may arise upon a judgment that is entirely based upon prejudice. This seems to have been the motive that impelled Father Wahsh so say what would ill become a gentleman and has made every respectable Npgro, be he Catholic or Protestant blush for shame that such is possible under the shadow of the cross and in the presence of the Holy Sacrament. Are we to understand that an ap- pearnt, depreciation of an invest- ment of $200,000 owned by the church, in St. Louis is to be taken as justification for an abandonment of the teachings of Jesus and a justification for its priests to stand—irre- chance—and order away from the church its worships because of the color of their skin (if it be black) and to advise the forming of mobs to ennet upon the streets of St. Louis atrocties equally as grievous as those committed upon helpless Belgium and France because of which our bows now go forth to die! We petition your Grace to speak out in righteousness and truth, speak the language of the Catholic Church which is universal and invites all men to come within its gates and to consummate, at its chance, to give your great influence such as your office has symbolized in the crook, of the schiefer, against this evil so grievous and maliciously done against many of your sheep and against a race that is struggling for right and liberty. Unfriek this sinful priest—but him where he belongs in the midst of heretics and let him know that repentance will be the only medium through which he can again be admitted (to the church, We submit this on behalf of those rands whom we represent, who are loyal to the flag and followers' of the Cross of Jesus. We are followers of the Light of today that is revealing the hidden secrets of the hearts of men and in stitutions. We know that in you it will reveal only those qualities that are fit to be found in one who stands for Christ in the affairs of human society. Respectfully. Executive Committee, St. Louis Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. SERGT. JOE WRIGHT DEAD Sergt.

PLANS BIG ST. LOUIS, MO. FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1918 The fourth Spangarn Medal award will be made Friday evening, May 17 at the First Baptist church, Providence R. I., to William Stanley, brassatlete of Cambridge, MA. The distinguished poet and literary critic, whose work as literary critic to the Boston Evening Transcript and contributor of critical essays to the Forum, the Century, Sirenbush, the Atchene Monthly and other leading magazines has made his name well known to the literary public, Mr. Brathwhite is a poet as well as a critic. In 1904 he published "Lyric of Life and Love," a small volume of poems and in 1908 "The House of Falling Leaves." Since 1915 he has edited the "Anthology of Magazine Verse," published by Small Maynard & Company of Boston, in 1916 Mr. Brathwhite became editor of the "Poetry Review" of Cambridge. He has also edited "The Book of Elizabethan Verse," "The Book of Georgian Verse," and "The Book of Restoration Verse," and is the general editor of "The Contemporary American Poets Series," which is shortly to be issued in twelve volumes. Mr. Braithwite's most recent publication is a volume entitled, "The Poetic bear," in which she gathered together a series of articles which were contributed by him to the Boston Transcript during the years of 1916 and 1917. It is needless to remark that Mr. Braithwite's reputation extends beyond that of a "Negro critic." His achievements have placed him in the forefront of American's literary critics irrespective of race. 16 NEGROES LYNCHED IN TWO STATES IN LESS THAN YEAR The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shilladay of New York, makes public telegrams of protest against lynchings occurring within the last three days in the states of Louisiana and Tennessee. These telegrams have been addressed to Governor R. G. Pleasant of Louisiana and to the Chambers of Commerce of Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Monroe, Lafay and to Governor Tom C. Rye and the chambers of Commerce of Chattanooga, Nashville, Knoxville and Memphis, Tenn. The Association's telegrams to Louisiana call attention to the fact that since the United States centered the war, Louisiana has the unavailble record of having sympathetic eleven Negroes without trails of these lynchings having occurred since January 1, of this year. In the cases of Tennessee, the Association's telegrams state that since the United States entered the war five Negroes have been crushed in Tennessee, in three of these cases the pastimes have been burned and tortured at the stake before death, and of one case, that of Berry Noyes against, which the present protest is made, the body having been dragged through the streets and burned after the Negro was hung. WIFE SLAYS HUSBAND Richard Sherrett, 29 years old, ad- dresses himself, was pied and killed almost instantly at a stock Tuesday night, behind the white Madison, 24, in her room at 2211 Market Street. The couple and been separated two years, carefully to his wife's room at an apartment followed and his wife left. He departed, but prepaired at 6 p.m. and found her there. All other arguments and again left. Earpett prepaired a third to 6 p.m. for her wife who had also turned, and he floated a razer and threatened to kill her. He got a re- volver from her dresser and shot him twice in the abduction. He died in a few minutes. POBO COLLEGE Saturday, April 17th, was the occasion for a trophy celebration at Poro College. Mr. and Mrs. Malone had reunited the fourth year of their matrimonial blues, and as is customary, were remembered with tokens from the various departments—two large bonges, a beautiful fern, a pearl handled steak, set, tumbled, toilet and dining room percussionists. At the same time, the Misses Kowena Shanghera, a five year employee, and Khel Singhua were remembered with birthday gifts from the Shipping Department. Programs for the occasion were the work of members of the Shipping Department. The numbers were furnished by the wealth of talents to be found among the employees. The one hour was enjoyably spent, at the conclusion of which tokens were given and congratulations offered. Effort Will Be Made to Put in Force Ten Million Dollars Worth of New Business for the Year "The Standard Life Insurance Company has just closed a very successful year. As much business was put in force in 1917 as was written for the four previous years combined. At the close of business, December 31, 1910, the company had on its books $3,550,000 worth of business. During 1917, the company put in force $3,577,000 worth of business which was more in one year than had been accomplished in its entire previous period of existence. At this writing the company has more than $6,000,000 worth of business in force. The company in now operating in ten states, and in order to accomplish its goal for 1915, each state in which it operates will necessarily have to double the amount of business they have in force. Mr. T. A. Dickson, State Agency Director, does not doubt the possibility of doubling the business in Missouri, with the support he is receiving at the hands of the Missouri citizens. He has associated with him in developing the work in Missouri, Missouri, Stewart and Smith of Kansas City, two very successful real estate men, Prof. A. C. Maclin, (principal of Hannibal school), R. A. Pina (formerly accountant and general bookkeeper for the Dixie Industrial Co. of Kowaliga, Alabama), Mr. Jesse W. Spann of St. Louis, Mrs. Irene, Robins son of St. Louis and M. Frank A. Adams of East St. Louis, III. With this bunch of salesman under the leadership of the State Agency Director, it will be an easy matter to put Missouri "over the top" this year with a half million dollars worth of new business. The company is proud of the support given by the Missourians and their confidence has been simply justified by the prompt manner, good adjudgements have been made by the company throughout their entire jurisdiction. It is the policy of the Standard Life Insurance Company to issue drafts for all death claims the day death proof reaches the Home Office. It is this promptness that has brought such hearty support from the Negroes in the ten states in which the company now operates. The contracts issued by the company are strictly first class and embrace all of the modern advantages given to policy holders by all of the headings Old Line Companies of the country. The company is rapidly making itself felt gain economic factor in the material development of the race. Fire many years it will stand as the stalwart financial arm that shall make possible the development of many commercial and industrial pursuits that are to be controlled and financed by Negroes. More than $100,000 has already been placed among Negro business men and farmers. When you buy insurance with the Standard Life Insurance Company, you help to conserve the wealth of the Negroes and make possible high class employment for your young men and women. The thinking Colored man is learning to appreciate the real advantages that come to him by supporting institutions that are owned as well as controlled, and managed by his own people. Contracts are issued in the amounts of $250 to $5,000, and covering ages from fourteen to fifty-five years. The companies maintain offices in the city of St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo. Consult some of the Standard Life Representatives before you buy your insurance. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN GIVEN ANOTHER QUOTA President W. S. Scarborough has received a telegram from Adjunct General McCain, informing him that Wilberforce University is assigned a quota of twenty Class II students for the 4th Officer's Training Camp. These men are to be Wilberforce graduates, and are to report at Camp Grant, May 15th. Presently Wilberforce was called upon to send, as many clerks, and stenographers, as possible to Camp Jackson, S. C. for service, in France. LAUNDRY WAGON DRIVER AR RESTED Olive Jackson, a driver for the Air Airate Laundry, was arrested by Offi- ces Logan and Waller this week just as he was about to leave for Chicago. Jackson is charged with having collect about $55 of the company's money, Mrs. R. Herbert-Stanton, wife of the manager, saw Jackson at Union Station, and held him until the deter- tatives arrived. 5000 COLORED SOLDIERS OFFER TO GO TO FRANCE WITHOUT TRAINING William Slavens, McNutt, in an article on "Making Soldiers in Dixie," in Collier's Weekly, the following about Negro soldiers: In writings of the National Army of the South I must not, omit the Negro soldiers. There was one unit at Camp Lee composed of 1,600 Colored soldiers, selected from West Virginia. Ten days after they arrived in camp with the first special last fall, the call came for them to go immediately to France for special service. The call was sudden and unexpected. General Crookhawk knew that the men had not expected to leave this country for several months. He thought that perhaps some of the 1,600 might have good reasons for not wanting to leave at once, so he called for volunteers from the 5,000 other Colored troops who were in camp to fill up whatever yankees there might be in the overseas unit. Every one of the 5,000 volunteers for immediate overseas service. Then the unit was marched to a hall. The general said that there were volunteers to take the place of any who wished to remain behind. Only 20 per cent of the 1,600 availed themselves of the opportunity to stay at home. When the general came from the stage on his way out those newly drafted Colored men, fading active service in the war zone within less than two weeks after having broken their civilian ties, started to sing "America." As the general, went down the aisle the singing grew to a harmonious roar of affirmation. The thing was absolutely spontaneous. They had not been concocted. It was a spontaneous expression of sentiment in the face of danger. Will you say that they had no full realization of the danger to be faced? Then come with me to Camp Jackson. I heard there a battalion of Negro soldiers singing under the leadership of David Griffin, the dickson singing instructor. They were drawn up in formation before a barrack, singing with that abandon and joy that only the Negro can attain. It seemed indeed that the thought of the war must be very light on their minds. Come with me to an officers' mess hall the next day. There is a about outside: "Hey! Look what's coming!" We step outside. Down the road, thump thump, thump thump, comes that same battalion of Negro soldiers in fall marching order. These soldiers troop the mills and cotton fields as on their way to France. The whole camp knows it: the whole camp is grave, quiet. Thump thump, thump thump. There is no sound in all that great cantonment save the bent of marching feet and the creaking of packs. The black men know they are on their way abroad. They are a soliton looking lot. A minister steps out to the edge of the embankment overlooking the road down which the troops are marching, and calls out shakily: "Goodbye, boys, God bless you!" God take care of you, boys! A big Mississippi, standing near, swore groaningly under his breath, "I'm done talking against niggers," he declared huskily. "Those boys have been dunn fine soldiers here, an if they ever get back from France, I'm big enough to lick any man who don't give 'em a square deal." "They've certainly been good soldiers," a South Carolina standing by agreed. "I never thought to salute a nigger, but I've been glad to return subtute to those boys. If they die in France, they're going to be just as dead as any of the rest of us. I've been changing my mind useful fast in the last two months." "Silence but for the shuffle and thump of heated fact on the broadway. The rollicking, swapped songs of yesterday were forgotten. A soft, drawing, quivery voice from somewhere in the marching ranks began. The hymn: 'Will There Be Any Stars in My Crowns?' Others took it up, and to the words and music of the old church song those black boys tramped their solemn way out of camp to put their hoofs to the chance of war on a foreign soil." NOTICE In view of the fact that our Suppose- mander of the American Woodman, the Hon. C. M. White, will visit' this city from May 8th to 12th, 1918.

He colored men have been receiving notices with the whites they are toil when they appear that the call is for whites only. Only a few of the Wards have made any arrangements at all. What, if any plans may develop in the future for drilling Colored men is not known at this time. Seven Wards in the heavily populated Negro district have already placed 2,740 Colored men in Class 1. The Seventeenth Ward leads with 1,228. Of this number 911 are physically qualified for general service and the balance have been put in the unlimited class. Many will be transferred after minor operations. The Sixth Ward comes next with 421 for general and 15 for limited. This Ward also has 262 men called for examination who have not appeared. The Sixteenth Ward has 257 general and about 30 limited. The Twenty-second Ward has 201 general and 25 limited; the Nineteenth Ward, 200 general and about 10 limited; the Twenty-second Ward, 150 general and 15 limited; the Twenty sixth Ward, 49 general and 3 limited. Union Station was crowded Monday night by several thousand Colored men, women and children, who overflowed the midway into the streets. The big throng was there to say good bye to 110 drafted men who left for Camp Funston at 9:30 p.m. Patriotic cheer was in evidence everywhere and there only were only a few cases of pathetic partings. The news of the departures, time and names of the men selected had been published in The Argus, the only St. Louis paper giving attention to Colored drafts. A big portion of it, 25,000 St. Louis renders were at the station to cheer the boys away. 160 East St. Louisans Leave The 160 East St. Louisans left for Camp Funston, Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. This was the first contingent of Colored men to go from the Illinois city. The boys were escorted to the station by several humiliated pervers and wannies. The experience was new to the two and were gasterable everywhere. (Special to the St. Louis Argus) Camp Finston. The boys from St. Louis, are making a fine showing here at the camp. The following is a partial list of the non-commissioned officers: Sargeants Joe Benton, 4251 Garfield Ave. Goo, Dinkins, 4307 St. Louis Ave. Robert Robertson, 4267 St. Ferdinand. Winston McKinnis, 4253 St. St. Corporals Alonzo Dickerson, 4267 N Market St. James Franklin, 4154 Lokey St. Thomas Holland, 4269 St. Louis Ave. Winston Wallace, 3216 Hickory St. Willie Pride, 4356 Ocage Ave. Lee Sheed, 2768 Mills St. We have not been able to get the complete list, but expect to have the additional list, in a few days, and will send it in. The training is proving to be a great benefit as many of our boys. They are being well taken care of and are developing into fine specimens of manhood. Many of them can be found at the Y.-M. C. A. and the Knights of Colonels building, during their leisure hours. It would be hard to find a finer set of soldiers, and gentlemen, than the boys at Camp Funston. In talking to Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, one of Knotas Church's leading business men, who is in charge of the large amusement hall, of the 92nd Division, where hundreds of the boys congregate each night. I have been told that during the seven months that he has been in charge, he has never heard on any bad language or fighting among the boys. This shows the remarkable influence that is being brought to bear upon the boys that are taken from all walks of life. And I wish to say, that Mr. and Mrs. Weaver, are certainly doing their bit, in looking after the amusement and welfare of the boys, have at the camp. We hope that there will be some way arranged so that they can be with us when we go "over there." Corp. Alonzo Dickerson. Uncle Sam Needs Our Men.

Shaw, began his series of Sermons. These sermons will be continued for the next six weeks. Last SunNay morning and night the sermons were beyond the average. We are looking forward to great and overflowing crowds each service. If things continue as they have we will be compelled to have overflow meetings downstairs. You had better come early if you would get a good seat. Don't go by the sun; go by your watch. The church is without a doubt a great and progressive church. The launching of the parish paper on last Sunday was another big step in the progressiveness of church activities. We are proud of the people who are joining in this progressive institution. It goes without saying that Dr. B. K. Shaw is a man of great vim, and anyone who is not progressive will find himself uniserable in his company. Somehow he has something new to present to the people every week, and they are all on the upward trend. The Sunday school is reaching out its hand to wilt the young people. Rev. Shaw said last Sunday that he was born and raised in the South, and that while he was deeply interested in all the people regardless of from that section they came, but because he was born in the old, Southland and knew her advantages as well as her disadvantages, that his heart beats in unison with the hearts of the people of the South, as well as with the people of the North, South and East; and is, glad to see them, in large numbers making the Metropolitan church their religious home. You are welcome, tell all to come. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Dr. J. C. Colwell, field secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of Nashville, Tena, brought the message Sunday morning.

The league is one of the strong factors in our church for the elevation of the young people and the church should look well in selecting a successor to the present, incumbent when he inspires for higher honors. The chase, meeting Tuesday evening was accepted by the power of the Holy Spirit. Dr. C. H. Johnson who has been conducting the revival and who was instrumental in adding many to the church, delivered his final message to a crowded house. He was remembered in a financial way for the services rendered. On Wednesday afternoon from 12 to 3 o'clock the ministers, members and friends of the church gathered round the festal board in the lecture room and paid Dr. C. H.

Speakers and writers of the white race who have dared to mention the Negro, his status and what he may expect as a result of the great world's war, generally find themselves handicapped because of the usual expressions, "fighting for democracy;" "for freedom;" "for humanity;" must be eliminated from their talks or the expressions challenge the speaker or writer to practice what he preaches. Therefore, they must condemn themselves and end their remarks by saying, when the war is over, and there is a final adjustment of things, all races will come in for their share. There may be those among the colored race in the United States who would applaud such statement; wait until the end of the war and be ready to go up with hat-in-hand to receive his portion. But not so with the majority—not so with us. We have become impatient. We do not see white men trusting each other anymore. We see every class rising, appealing and demanding better conditions; more recognition and more respect. They are putting the future welfare above their patriotism. They are taking advantage of the situation and are "getting theirs now." The slogan of the working man is now! The slogan of the profiteer is now, and the slogan of the Irish in demanding his rights is now. Yet, they tell us to be patient and wait. Trust those who will not trust themselves. We do not believe in tar parties; but we pity the man of our race who preaches such doctrine. Now is time to protest. Now is the time to complain. Now is the time to contend for legal rights that are being denied us, and now is the time to let the world know that we are not satisfied. These are momentus times. Men of our race are called upon to give their lives along with other men. Our women are called upon to make the same sacrifice as other women; that the country's honor may be upheld. This is right and just. Then why should we be denied even equal justice before the law of the land without protest? Why should we be unjustly discriminated against without protest? We cannot head our peace. We should not hold our peace, but should cry aloud until we get relief, using all legitimate, legal and patriotic means. SIC 'EM REPUBLIC Our attention has been called to the following editorial which appeared in The St. Louis Republic a few days ago: The Negro Soldier A friend of, The Republic, who has been putting in his spare time selling Liberty Bonds, has discovered among some of the colored, people a disinclination to buy bonds because they say the negroes have not been treated fairly by the Government in organizing and training the army. To what extent this notion is being encouraged by the well-wishers of the Kaiser it would not be easy to determine, but it is certain that rumors have been spread among colored people about the treatment of colored troops that are the inventions of the enemy. One yarn that has been circulated in the East is, that negro troops are sent ahead of white soldiers as shock troops to take the brunt of the fighting, while the whites come along behind and get the glory. This and other lies of the same sort have been officially denied by the War Department. It is pointed out in this connection that there are more than 1,000 colored line officers in the service. 300 colored officers are in the Medical Reserve Corps, 1,000 negroes are in training in the Signal Corps and they are largely represented in the Engineering Corps and the calvary. In fact: the negroes are getting their chance in every direction open to white soldiers, and their treatment as soldiers does not differ from that accorded to others in any respect. sure that a great metropolitan daily like The Lord to have it said that its newsgathering fief that is going on in this country, neither do republic would stoop to deception; but we do common news of the press at large that Negro discriminated against, then it seems that deliberately sidestepping the facts of its readers. As to the well-wishers of the fiefly say to The Republic that it will not be a country to find an official German spy, nor that names who are making it their business record. If, as The Republic states, "the ill-tops are rumors spread by the enemy," then We are sure that a great metropolitan daily like The Republic cannot afford to have it said that its newsgathering force is not alive to what is going on in this country, neither do we believe that The Republic would stoop to deception; but we do know that if it is common news of the press at large that Negro soldiers are being discriminated against, then it seems that The Republic is deliberately sidestepping the facts or trying to camouflage its readers. As to the well-wishers of the Kaiser, we can truthfully say to The Republic that it will not be necessary to comb the country to find an official German spy, nor to find men with German names who are making it their business to sow seeds of discord. If, as The Republic states, "the ill treatment of colored troops are rumors spread by the enemy," then we feel that The Republic would do a lasting patriotic duty to turn its guns of exposure on the enemy. As the leading Negro publication of the Middle West, we can truthfully say that Negroes are just as ready and willing to buy Liberty Bonds as are any other Americans. True, they are not able to buy in as large amounts as some other Americans; this inability is due in a great measure to American prejudice, which has for years refused to open the doors of commercial and industrial opportunity to Negroes. As far as Negro soldiers are concerned, their valor and loyalty under the most adverse conditions have been proven in the most significant manner. Negro civilians who are doing what they can to aid in winning the war, are not worrying o much over the treatment of Negro soldiers, but they are really concerned as to whether the Negro soldier will go into battle with the usual coolness and courage, knowing as he does how basely his race is being treated by those who are asking him to fight for a world democracy. The Republic would do a great service by starting a crusade against color prejudice. Against lynchings; against Southern well-wishers of the Kaiser who threaten Negro soldiers because they are wearing the uniform of the National Army. Against the enemies of America who are trying to introduce Jim Crow street car laws in the City of Washington. Against unpaid spreaders of German propaganda who are claiming American citizenship, and are forever busy trying to embarrass and crush the Negro American. Do this. Q. Republic, and you will be helping to defeat one of G many's most powerful agencies which has its main headquarters in America. 30,000 NEGROES LYNCHED This Number Has Been Unlawfully Put To Death By Mobs Within The Last 30 Years In The United States 10,000 MURDERERS AT LARGE DUTIES OF THE HOUR Buy 3rd Liberty Bonds and Support Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Write Your Congressman Today And Ask His Support All liberty loving Americans, and those whose rights are in the fight to make the world safe for democracy, should support the Dyer Bill and help make the United States safe for ALL of its citizens.

I desire to impress upon your fertile mind the fact that we are doing things in Michigan this season that were never done before—namely, growing birds that are real birds, and I'm wondering if you realize just what this will mean to us sport loving folks. A wonderful little show of these birds will be on display during the Fall of the present season at Idlewild where your people have taken up the matter of Ringneck Pheasant propagation and I desire herein to thank your association for the co-operation extended us in this respect. I also desire to inform you that the State Game Dept. have become interested in Idlewild because of the spirit with which your association has entered into the preservation of wildlife in Michigan. In this respect I would state that I will soon be engaged in the removal of Carp from the waters of Idlewild Lake, in co-operation with Branch Bros. of White Cloud. While the above named waters are already teeming with Black Bass and other plate fishes, we feel that the removal of Carp will tend to make better grounds for a safer breeding place, and more lasting propagation for the plate fishes one most desires. To this end the State Game Dept. will do its utmost to give the people of Idlewild the best possible results.

BANNEKER SCHOOL GIRL WRITES ABOUT 3RD LIBERTY BONDS By Margaret Abernathy, Age 13, Bannueh School My subject is "Liberty Bonds," which does not have to be introduced, as it is advertised everywhere. Germany and Its Ruler Picture a German hungry and cold, too old to fight. The Kaiser makes him give him his weekly earnings to help the German soldiers. We as citizens of the U. S. of A., are under a Republic form of government and are not forced to buy Liberty Bonds, Woolfow Wilson, our President is not forcing us to buy Liberty Bonds, but, we as loyal citizens of the U. S., should buy Liberty Bonds to show our patriotism to our country. If the U. S. does not whip Germany over there, she will have to whip her over here, or she be ruled by a Monarchy and then be forced to do as our ruler says. Investment If we invest our money in Taberley Bonds, at the end of a few years we will have over twice our investment. But, if we take our money out of the bank and dig a hole to bury it in at the end of these years we will only have $90. We as citizens of the U. S. cannot make the trenches which our soldiers have to stay in any better, but we can buy Liberty Bonds so 'knot the government may buy clothes so that they may keep warm. "Price and What Your Money Will do" Liberty Bonds are very simple in price; they rank from $50 to $1,000,000. You can save a few pennies a week, and will soon be able to buy a Liberty Bond. A $100 Liberty Bond will clothes a soldier or feed him for eight months, and a $100 Liberty Bond will buy 14 rifle grenades. When the government has $50 fifty dollar subscribers, they will have $25,000, or enough money to by a battleship. This battleship is very useful to our country. It may destroy three or four German battle ships and in that way be a great use to our country. "Reasons" We should buy liberty Bonds for the simple reason that they will help clothes and feed our soldiers. Many people say what is the use in giving our money to the government when the U. S. is the richest country in the world but, we are not giving our money to the government we are merely lending it, and the government is kind enough to give us interest. If we invest our money in Liberty Bonds our boys will be gird to fight, for they, will know that they are fighting for some one who wants to help them. 'When the' Boys Come Marching Home' When the boys come home, if you have bought a Liberty Bond, you will be able to show your button and say, "look what I have done for my country." Germany has said they could whip the world. Let us show them they cannot whip the world by buying Liberty Bonds, and helping our government to take the proper care of our boys. "If We Do Not Buy Liberty Bonds, It Will Be Born By Liberty." A few of these Liberty Bonds will give the kaiser a good blow, and our boys will be able to come home saying, "Over the top, with the HippieDop Hop, went the boys from the U. S. A." cc GATES & MANUEL By T. A. Grenshaw (In The Pullman Porters' Review) "Travel affords the greatest means of education," has been truthfully said, and in view of that fact, we are always pleased to mention the great educational advantages of the Pullman porter and instances of his progress. In paying a visit to the business men of St. Louis we were shown through the Undertaking Parlors of Gates & Manuel, 4107 Finney Ave., of which we will make a brief description. The institution is complete with a comprehensive sense of order and neatness, well equipped and managed. The office is cozy and shows a complete sense of business responsibility, the chapel is well arranged and particularly pleasing, the embuilding room is modern and new and a garage complete with motor hearse, limousine and other cars, especially adapted to the business. The success of this firm has continued, and a large business is directed January 1, 1917, they appointed C. Udall undertakes forged people by the municipal government of St. Louis in recognition ability and service. The echo of "Service" remains their mind as a definite purpose achievement—something to be accomplished in former years. They were one time Pullman employees. They succeed, because the foundation of cress is "Service." That is their to Watch them grow.

In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seebrys 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 thorny cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and duffy 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 seats each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his whole seller, 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. Men and women to sell J. and h be cleaning soap.

Each noble will receive two tickets and it is expected that a big attendance will result. There are to be a number of pleasing and novel stunts in competition with this affair, and those who stay away will miss the event of the year. Masonic lodges of St. Louis are nearing the end of their fiscal year and during the coming month elections will be held. It is said that considerable changes are to be made in the executive chambers of the various progressive bodies. The lodges are on the alert for officers who are fit and capable of representing their interests, and it seems that the old fossils who are baptized and converted to antiquated business methods will soon have to pass their places of honor to those who are prepared for them. Incompetents must go; they will defeat the purpose and retard the progress of any institution where efficiency is essential. Western Star Commandery No. 1; K.

WHITTIER BAPTIST CHURCH PURCHASES CHURCH SITE Former White Club at 4200 Finney Avenue Secured by Pastor Caston and His Active Members—Big Removal Planned for First Week in June. Not until the first of February was there such a church known as the Whitttier Baptist church, but since that time there is scarcely an car in the West End that has not heard something of it. Visitors have come in and have become so interested that they have tarried and have fallen into the ranks as faithful workers. Splendid success was recorded at the close of a recent revival. This church is located between Finney and Cook, on East Whitttier street, the number being 1108 N. Whitttie. The church has extended a helping hand to everyone and has won an enviable position in the estimation of the people. the pastor, Rev. J. L. Caston, one of the most brilliant thinkers and platoform men of which St. Louis can boast is unassuming and gives the people credit, through the help of God, for the accomplishments. Rev. Caston, though a young man, has finished prescribed courses of three institutions of learning; it is almost a St. Louis boy, having graduated from Summer High school. Without any blare of trumpets or boastfulness, he went about his work with a vision that finally culminated in the purchase of the splendid property at 4200 Finney avenue. The deal was made through Hutchins linger the old reliable real estate man. This church will hold special services at their present building, between Finney and Cook, on Whittier, Sunday morning, when the pastor will preach from the subject, 'The Christian Citizen.' Sunday night Covenant and Communion. Every Baptist living in the West End should attend both services. WAYMAN A. M. E. CHURCH Exodus 14th chapter, 15th verse, was the text of the very wholesome and convincing sermon delivered by Rev. A. R. Dobbins, Sunday morning, at 11 o'clock. At 9 o'clock p. m. the pastor preached from Matthew 10th chapter and 18th verse. Both services were well attended and the congregation gave every evidence of being spiritually upheld and of taking a new hold upon their religious aspirations. At each service several persons united with the church. At 9 o'clock in the afternoon Rev. Shaw or Metropolitan Zion Church, preached to a happy audience at Wayman. His comment upon the young but rapidly growing church was very encouraging. At each of the services, contributions were received by the different clubs. At the conclusion of the evening service each club made its report as follows: Democratic club, $306.39; Republican club, $123.73; Socialist club, $90; Bull Moose club, $12.35; Pastor's club, $$. The combined contributions of all the clubs made a total of $540.41. When the first report was made enthusiasm ran high, the audience, which filled the auditorium went wild with applause and for the time being pandemonium reigned. The pastor was very much unified and encouraged over the results of the rally and spoke in very laudable terms in expressing his gratitude to the members and friends of Wayman. This is the second rally within the last five months for this young church, which only two years ago had a membership of thirty members. Its growth and accomplishments have been marvelous and we hope to do even more in the future than we have in the past. AT THE TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH, 2728 PINE STREET The progress of the church is being evidenced in every phase of our work. Our Sunday school is growing both in point of numbers and enthusiasm. The pastor was at his best Sunday morning and in his usual way brought to as a powerful demonstration of the fact that "The believer belongs to Christ and God." Text, John 1:10. Bro.

The church sleeping Negro is waking up to the fact that there is more inspiration and religion to thought than in whimsicalness. He will speak next Sunday morning on the "Career and End of the Church on Earth," Rev. 4.1, and at night on "The Church in Heaven," Rev. 4.1.11. The Walking Workers' Club will rally next Sunday at 8 p.m. The churches and postors of Kindoo Park and Burning Bush will make up the program. Dr. Cole has reintroduced his home of Fair Ave, and his friends will meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Newton, 172 Goode Ave. The manifests of all demonstrations will constitute the program at Providence in their seminal rally on the second Lord's Day in May at 3 p.m. There will be a Cranker Eating contest at Providence next Monday evening, May 6, given by the New Membership and Willing Workers' Cubs.
