The People'sPaper The Trade Maker GIGANTIC PATRIOTIC MEETING IN COLISEUM—SPEAKERS OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION BEING SOUGHT High School Chorus Will Sing—Military-Evolutions by Soldiers and Military Orders—Calisthenics by School Children—Two Hundred Sponsors and Two Hundred Vice Presidents—Outburst of Patriotic Enthusiasm Is Expected Following its preliminary announcement of last week, the Colored Women's Unit of the Council of National Defense desires to inform the public that it has made definite arrangements for its patriotic benefit entertainment to be given at the Coliseum, Thursday evening, June 13. While not every detail is yet aranged, enough has been done to make it certain that the demonstration will be in keeping with the magnitude of the war and the importance of the interests at stake. There will be a brilliant military display participated in by some of the military units of the national government and the various military secret orders of the city. A chorus of one hundred fifty pupils will be contributed by the Sammer. High School. Numerous physical culture exhibitions will be made by both the high and the grade schools, and a military band will supply both concert music and music for the military evolutions. There will be two hundred vice-presidents and two hundred sponsors. Speakers of national an international reputation are being secured, and will be announced next week. It is hoped and expected that because of the nature, purpose and magnitude of this great undertaking, all of the patriotic citizens and patriotic organizations of the city will co-operate, not only to, the end that the entertainment, as such, shall be a success, but also to the end that the unit shall come into possession of the funds absolutely necessary to the successful carrying out of the praise-worthy, humanitarian and patriotic work to which it is giving its best energies. For further information call at office, 200 N. Jefferson Ave., or phone Bomont 714, Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, chairman. THE MOORFIELD STORY DRIVE Python Hall was crowded Tuesday night by an enthusiastic audience to hear James Weldon Johnson on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The meeting was an ance in the campaign of the local branch to fill its quota in the Moorfield Store drive for 50,000 members. More sincerity of spirit was shown in the organization and its work than at any previous meeting. It was found that at least 75 per cent of those present were members and most all of the balance joined before leaving the hall. Mr. Johnson made an effective speech. Rev. H, H. Harris also stirred the audience with a pointed patriotic speech. I. H. Brantbury was chairman of the meeting. A parade with band music helped to swell the attendance. During the last ten days Mr. James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has spoken to a dozen audiences in our city. Mr. Johnson is a speaker of the new school-scholarly, authoritative, logical, convincing and inspiring. The citizenism have been much informed concerning the mission and work of the N. A. A. C. P.; and a great deal of constructive enthusiasm has been developed. FIRST CLASS IN RADIO QUALIFIES While the country is making all preparations to carry the war to the Huns, it is seldom made known to the Colored people the part that the Negro is taking. Very few. St. Louisans know that classes in Radio Telegraphy and gas engines are organized at Summer high school under the supervision of Colored, instructors who are, giving their time and attention to this work gratis, just to better equip our race boys for the responsible positions that must be filled. This is the first radio class for Colored in the United States. All, credit for this movement in vocational training is due to the efforts of Mr. W. H. Huffman, physics teacher of Summer who has charge of the Radio Telegraphy classes, assisted by Mr. Moseley while gas engine classes are under Mr. A. Thornton assisted by O. Rehg and Mr. Dreer. About 50 bors are enrolled in each class. In the short space of two months Mr. Huffman has been able to quality nine bays for the Signal Corpse, the boys qualifying in less than half the required time. Those who passed the examination and qualified were: A. Edwin Halley, Arthur Green, Clifford Wallace, Harold Cloud, Charles Newell, Samuel C. Dukes, Thomas Giles, Floyd Neal and W. Silas Franceau. All graduates of Summer high. The above-named young men will be sent to Port Wayne for further training in the near future. The St. Louis Argus GENERAL BALLOU CONVICTSFUNSTON THEATRE MANAGER The General Says His Bulletin Was One of Advice, Designed to Prevent Racial Friction, and Had Nothing to do With Any Policy of Segregation. Camp Funston, Kansas, May 15—It transpires that while Major-General C. C. Ballon, of the 92nd Division, was addressing the men under him through Bulletin No. 35, he was at the same time pressing the prosecution of the theatrical manager who had discriminated against a sergeant of the division. The prosecution of the manager of the Wareham Theatre, for discrimination on account of color, instigated at General Ballou's request, was after being twice confirmed, tried in Police Court at Manhattan, Kansas, a few days ago, and resulted in the conviction of the defendant and the imposition of a fine of $18 and costs. It is generally assumed that the conviction of the theatrical manager will serve to prevent a repetition of the offense, and will deter other theatre owners and managers from making discrimination on account of color. General Ballou followed the same course here as he did at the Officers' Training School at Des Moines, Iowa, last summer, namely: while admonishing his men to refrain from precipitating racial disturbances, to prosecute those who should discriminate against his men. RED CROSS PARADE In the big Junior Red Cross parade held Saturday, May 18, the Colored people were again humiliated by being placed at the tail end of the formation. The arrangement was most conspicuous because the Colored school children were separated from the white public school by Parochial (or Catholic) schools, commercial colleges, and visiting schools. The union band at the head of the Negro division attempted to swing in ahead of the commercial and visiting schools but was hated and compelled to bring up the rear. Two bands alternated in playing while the parade passed the reviewing stand; but stopped when the Negroes arrived. When the first call was made for the school children to parade, it was believed that all high schools would march in one section, and all grade schools in another. The mothers, of boys in service were to march behind the grade schools. When it was found that the Colored were to be placed in a special section, entirely separated from the other public schools, a committee from the N. A. A. C. P. called upon the assistant superintendent of schools to try to correct the arrangement. This committee was referred to: Prof. P. L. Williams who had been appointed marshal of the Negro division, and it is said he approved the segregated plan. The assistant superintendent called the principals into conference and there seemed to be no agreement reached, as some of them preferred to parade and protest afterwards. Three principals, Vashon of Delaney, Williams of Banneker and Usher of Desalines, did not participate in the parade and none of the pupils were there. Summer, Cottage Avenue and Simmons schools turned out over 300 together, the other schools totaled about 50 children. There are nearly 3,000 pupils enrolled in the three schools mentioned. GROCERS CALLED TO ACCOUNT FOR ADVANCING SUGAR PRICES Several grocers who have recently been selling sugar at more than fair prices have been called to account by the Federal Food Administration. Stahl Bros. grocers, at Laclede and Market Streets, yesterday voluntarily chose to pay $18 to go to the Red Cross in lieu of stopping their sales of sugar next week. Sam Prince, grocer, at 162 South Ewing avenue, preferred to pay $15 to the Red Cross rather than stop his sales of sugar. L. Dolgin, 2636 Market Street, and J. F. Noser, 2740 Market Street, will not sell sugar the first five days of this week. All of these grocers had been selling sugar at 10 pents or more per pound. The above statement appeared in last Sunday's Post-Dispatch. The noticeable feature about it is that all of the stores mentioned are located in Negro neighborhoods and no doubt most of their customers are Colored people. The above is a warning to the housewives and spenders to watch these stores, not only when they buy sugar, but all other goods. The people should also penalize these stores by staying away from them, and trading with the fellow whose prices are right. FIRST BAPISTY TO HAVE BAPISTY ING AT CENTRAL CHURCH The First Baptist Church will have special baptismal services at the Central Baptist Church, Dr. Geo. E. Stevens, pastor Tuesday evening, May 28 at 8:20. Pastor Marwell of the First Baptist will preach, sainthood "Why be Baptized?" Every one is invited to hear this able diving. Believers of all denominations and creeds may hear this sermon with pleasure and profit; for Dr. Marwell has no element of denominational abuse in him. After the sermon twice or more converts will be immersed as members of First Baptist Church. Published In The Interest Of Colored People MISS IRENE PLUMMER One of the principle events of the season, will be a grand recital given by Miss Irene Plummer at Wayman A. M. E. Church, 23rd and Wash Sts. Wednesday, May 29, for the benefit of the Sunday school. Mrs. Clyde Patillo and Mrs. Olivia Reynolds will take an active part. The K. of F. orchestra will furnish music. Program begins at 8:30 p.m. Admission 25 cents; children 10 cents. DYER PUSHES HIS ANTI LYNCHINGBILL DYER PUSHES HIS ANTI LYNCHINGBILL In a strong speech in the House of Representatives, Hon. L. C. Dyer, of St. Louis, defended his bill that is now before that body, calling for a federal law against lynching. He cites the Constitution of the United States to support his contention. Since the introduction of the Anti-Lynching bill, by Mr. Dyer, such as Attorney General Gregory and Governor McCall, of Massachusetts, have come out against lynching. Mr. Dyer said, in part: Some people and some writers seem to think that such a law would not be constitutional. I differ with them in regard to this. The fourteenth amendment to the Constitution says in part: Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. Congress has the power to enforce this provision of the fourteenth amendment. Congress has exercised its rights in enacting legislation with reference to child labor in the various states. It has done likewise with reference to intoxicating liquors. If Congress has felt its duty to do these things, why should it not also assume jurisdiction and enact laws to protect the lives of citizens of the United States against lynch law and mob violence! Are the rights of property or what citizens shall drink, or the ages and conditions under which children shall work, any more important to the pation than life itself? I believe that Congress has ample power to enact the legislation that I have recommended. I believe it would stand the test of the courts and be a great blessing, as well as aid in wiping out the greatest blot upon the honor of the American nation. ST. LOUISIANS SELECTED FOR SPEAKERS DIVISION War Department, Washington, D. C. Through the office, of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, it is announced that the War Department and the Speaking Division of the Committee on Public Information, recognizing the importance of calmingenighten Negro public opinion as to the war aims of the Government, have decided to appoint a special committee of speakers to be composed of leading Colored Americans who shall, as opportunity offers, seek to creat and mobilize public opinion which shall back up the Government in the prosecution of the war. The list selected contains sixty-five names of men from all over the United States. Four St. Lobolians are amongst that number, which are as follows: Aaron E. Malone, president local Negro Business League, C. K. Bobinson, editor St. Louis Clarion, C. K. L. Williams, principal Shumer High school and J. E. Mitchell, editor St. Louis Argus. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1918 NATIONAL BAPTISTS SELECT ST. LOUIS FOR 1918 MEETING Big Convention Will Bring From Five to Ten Thousand Delegates Here For Sessions Which Will Begin September 11. Coliseum Will Probably Be Used. At a meeting of representatives of the two Baptists factions, held in Hot Springs, May 16, it was decided to remite and hold the new National Baptist Convention in St. Louis, beginning September 11. The St. Louis representatives were Invercrow's S. A. Moseley and J. K. Parker, Rev. E. C. Cole had also been appointed but did not go. Dr. Venerable also joined the delegation as a volunteer. The unincorporated body was to meet in Litle Rock, and the incorporated faction convene at Newark, N. J. The committees met on separate days, but agreed to meet in union in St. Louis, Chicago, Atlantic City, Memphis and St. Louis were the contestants for the big convention. The sessions will bring to St. Louis from 5,000 to 10,000 delegates and visitors. The last time the Bounties met here was in 1890, at the First Baptist Church. The main sessions, next September, will probably be held in the Coliseum. The arrangement for the meeting will be in the hands of a committee selected by the different churches of which there are about 65 in St. Louis and vicinity with a membership of nearly 7,000. The delegates were guests of the white Baptists during one of their sessions, being held simultaneously at Hot Springs. Dr. Morris, of the incorporated Baptists, made a speech, and the 150 Coliseum ministers present sang a favorite. Y.M.C.A. CAMPAIGN STARTS SUNDAY Y.M.C.A. CAMPAIGN STARTS SUNDAY Two hundred fifty men workers who are tq see the submers, and two hundred women who are to put an tag sale for the 1. M. C. A., along with the members and friends of the Y. M. C. A., will meet Sunday at St. Paul Church to hear an address by Mr. Philomon Bevis, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. This will be an inspirational meeting preliminary to the big drive which the Y. M. C. A. is putting on. From all indications this meeting will be of usual high order of Y meetings and will start the drive off with a dash. After this meeting the team workers will gather for a few minutes for instructions. The ladies' committee will also have a short meeting. The real drive opens Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at Douglas Hall and will continue through Sunday. June 2, when the final meeting will be held in the new Y. M. C. A. gymnasium at 4 p.m. A committee of two hundred ladies will conduct a tag sale on June 1st and 2nd. Mrs. Annie Mendel Blair is chairman of this committee and is being assisted by two hundred of the best women workers in St. Louis. Mrs. William Mitchell is a chairman of the committee which has charge of the luncheon at the Douglas Hall. Mrs. Mitchell with her committee will not act as hostesses every night during the drive. The following men will serve as captains: I. H. Bradbury, Chas. K. Browp, T. A. Curtis, J. L. Gaston, L. N. Cloyd, Simon Dupree, L. F. Ford, Oscar Ficklin, Maurice Grass, James Harrison, D. D. Hamilton, R. Haskell, W. R. Hild, Geo. B. Jones B. H. Lillard, T. A. Marshall, S. M. Mellerson, J. L. McMore, B. J. Myers, Earnest Patillo, T. R. Redbick, Milton Roland, W. D. Smith, C. H. Turner, M. W. Well, B. S. Williams, Fred Robo. From the line up which the V. M. C. A. is presenting it seems clear that the $10,000 goal will be reached. All subscribers are urged to leave their subscriptions at home so they may be received when the workers call. FOUR MORE BLACKS LYNCHED IN GEORGIA FOUR MORE BLACKS LYNCHED IN GEORGIA Valdosta, Ga. May 18.—Hays Turner, Negro, and his wife, Mary, caused of connection with the murder of Hampton Smith's a white farmer, and the wounding of his wife at their home near Barnes last Thursday night were hanged by a moth. Two other Negroes, Will Head and Will Thompson, were lynched Friday night. Turner was lynched last night at Oklahico River in Brooks County, after the mob had learned that the plot to attack the Smiths was made at the home. Mary Turner, who was said to have had Smith's watch in her possession when captured, was hanged at Folsom's Bridge, on Little River, today. The mob is searching for Sidney Johnson, who, according to Mrs. Smith, fired the shot that killed her husband. Thompson and Head were caught Friday night. Head confessed his part in the crime, saving that he stole Smith's gun and gave it to Johnson. Turner and his wife, former tenants of the Smith farm, recently quarreled with Smith over an account, and this is believed to have led to the attack. The shot that killed Smith was fired through a window in his home. Mrs. Smith, who was wounded by another shot, rushed into the yard, where she was beaten by the Negroes, who fled after robbing the place. TWO COLORED AMERICAN SOLDIERS WHIP 24 HUNS NEWTON D. BAKER, SECRETARY OF WAR Mr. Baker is personally inquiring about the welfare of Colored American Soldiers who are now "over there." The Secretary has displayed a generous attitude toward Colored soldiers at home and abroad. The Colored men of St. Louis, who have had substantial military training appeared at Battery A Armory, Grand and Hickory St., last Friday at 8:30 p.m., for the purpose of taking an examination preliminary to drilling the drafted Colored men in St. Louis. The attendance was fine and the spirit of the men most excellent. It has been a source of regret that the work of drilling all of the men in the city has not advanced more rapidly, but it has simply been impossible to get the necessary number of qualified drill masters. The Military Training Camps Association, under whose direction this training is being given, insists that the work shall be given accurately. One of the chief difficulties to be overcome is the fact that many men of splendid military training have neglected to keep up the study of the regulations and do not know the work as now given. This fact has greatly embarrassed and delayed the training of the drafted men. The fact that a man has been in the regular service is by no means an evidence of his qualification to drill the men. It too frequently happens that such a man has failed to keep up with the change in the regulations and if permitted to drill without the examination, will give the work incorrectly, making such service a serious embarrassment and hindrance rather than a help to the recruit. The first recruits were drilled in the 19th ward, May 16. There are 175 class 1 men in that ward. Major Wm. H. Butler, whose address is Meyer Bros. Drug Co., is chairman of the Selective Service Training Committee for the Colored men of St. Louis. The committee of which he is chairman, will promptly secure from the local boards the names and addresses of drafted men under his jurisdiction and give to these the quotation notice. Notice of meeting places for organization will be given as promptly as is practical to do so. Members of the Home Guard and other military men of the city have freely volunteered to be of service to Major Butler's committee at any time and place that that committee may desire. The following are the drill masters who passed and are qualified to instruct recruits: Marcus J. Gilliam, 4369 W. Belle Pl. John R. Pinkett, 4220 W. Cote Brilliante Ave. Wm. H. Banks, 3419 Pine St. L. J. Tuggle, 4233 W. Cook Ave. Jas. A. Shackelford, 3294 Pine St. B. Johnson, 2920 Lawton Ave. Geo. G. Rolins, 108 N. 22nd St. Ray Wilson, 2930 Lucas Ave. The Board of Examination will convene Friday evening, May 25th and 26th, at Battery A Armory, at which place more than thirty have applied. All applications will be made to the chairman in writing at headquarters, 39th Avenue, 4137 Pine St. The War Department also wants to learn the names of all registrants who are musicians. BOOSTERS' NOTICE The attention of all Boosters is called to the fact that, regardless of the call between 25 and 50, when no Negroes are called from the city of St. Louis there will be a very heavy call early in the month of June. The Boosters are, going to give these boys a royal send off and you fellow Boosters must do your duty. We must keep up our reputation as smilemakers. We made the boys smile Xmas, and we must make them smile when they are called in June. Many of you Boosters will not be called to fight, but you can do your bit by making things, as pleasant as possible for those who do have to go. Get in line. Don't be a snacker, but a real Booster: See Secretary Fearrence or W. Garfield Rogers.—W Silak Fegrance, Secretary. COLORED RIVETERS BREAK RECORD Baltimore, Md. May 11. A gang of Negro rivellers working at Sparrows Point, Md., in the plant of Bethlehem Steel 717 Corporation, broke the world's record for driving rivets. One of the gang, Charles Knight, drove 4,875 three-quarter inch rivets in a nine hour day. The previous highest record was 4,442 made by a workman in a Scottish shipyard. This is the way the Negro is demonstrating his patriotism at home while his brothers in black are are showing it in Virginia. Mr. Knight is a highly respectable and industrious citizen of Baltimore, a native of Virginia. Telegrams announcing the new record were sent to Mr. Chas, M. Schwah, Director-General for the Fleet Corporation and other officials connected with shipbuilding. If a bridge of ships will enable our soldiers to go over, to be fed and our Allies to have supplies, the Negro will have a large share in building those ships. Mr. Knight is our one of thousands of negro shipworkers. At Newport News Yards alone there are about 8,000 employed. Commenting on this performance of work, the Washington Times on May 18 said: Not many months ago German propagandists were spreading the story that the Colored people of the South, even as far North as this city, were preparing to revolt against the Government and do what they could to hinder the work of the war. Day before yesterday there was a revolution, lost at what was not the kind the Germans planned. Charles Knight, Colored, and seven Colored helpers turned upside down Army record that had ever been made for paying travel into the ships of ships. That is the kind of a revolution the Colored men of this country are carrying on. That is the kind of a revolution they may be depended on to carry on to the end of the war. Foreman Knight set an excellent example of efficiency to every citizen of the country, whether he be black or white. MILLION YOUTHS 10^6 REGISTER ON JUNE 5 Only One Registering Place in Each District in St. Louis Washington, May 24 — By A. P. Estimates today by Major General Crowder, Provost Marshall general, indicate that probable men will be obtained for the army by the registration on June 5 of all youths who have attained 21 years of age, since that date 7 last. Fully a million youths, according to Gen. Crowder's statistics, will be registered. At least one fourth of them, he thinks, will be exempted on various grounds. President Wilson, on a proclamation published today, formally fixed June 5 next as the date of registration. In St. Louis there will be only one registering place on each district, the headquarters of that ward board. The addresses will be published in next week's issue of the Argus. MOTHER'S DAY CONCERT On Tuesday evening, May 25, there will be a Mother's day concert, given by the workers of Victor孕婶孕婶 church, 2014 Pine St., for the benefit of the church. This will be the opening of a big carnival throughout the entire week. On Wednesday at 8 p.m., there will be a demonstration of the Dorgue of the Messenger Association of the blind, from the Metropolitan Building, Grand and Olive. Many beautiful articles of hand work will be on sale. Messages given. Admission 10 cents. Mrs. J. D. Dikes, Directress. An Exponent Or Truth and Justice PRICE 5 CENTS BEAT OFF BIG GERMAN RAID BEAT OFF BIG GERMAN RAID Both Are Wounded But They Destroy Half Of The Invading Force. Receive Cross of War. French Camouflage Their Faces So They Will Look Like The Colored Warriors Who Have Broken All Records Getting Into The Trenches. When Secretary of War Baker was in France last March, General Pershing told him "You cannot send me too many Colored soldiers." General Pershing knows, perhaps better than any other military leader, the fighting caliber of the Negro soldier. He had commanded the "Fighting Tenth Cavalry" for many years. He was with them at San Juan, in the Philippines, and at Carrizal. None of the Colored regulars have been sent to France, but several thousand state guards and volunteers have gone, to uphold the traditions of the Negro crew. The first to reach the trenches were members of the 15th Regt of New York. Now word comes from "Over There." that two men in this unit, holding an advanced post in the sector north of Saint Mendicau should draw back 24 Germans, killing or wounding fully half of the enemy, though they themselves were each wounded in three places. The heroes of this affray are Private Henry Johnson, of Albany, N.Y. and Needham Roberts, of New York City. Both have been decorated with the French War Cross. Lincoln Eyre, staff correspondent of the Post dispatch and New York World, in writing of the affair says: the lacks the night with rifles, hand grenades and a "bolo knife," wholly deprived of the assistance of their comrades, they put to flight an enemy assailling party, at least 24 men strong. Roberts wounded in three places, stretched out helplessly in the mud, hurled grenades even while the hands of a muscular German were about his throat: "Johnson did even more. Having shot one of his foeen down and clubbed another with the butt of his rifle, he sprang to the aid of Roberts and with his bolo knife close open the skull of one German and disarmed another. As the enemy fell into disorderly retreat, Johnson, three times wounded,ank to the ground. (Continued on page 4.) DR. A. S.

CANADIAN RAILROAD TO IMPORT NEGROES FROM THE SOUTH St. Thomas, Canada, May 15—Owing to the dramatic shortage of firefighters on the railroads as St. Thomas, caused by the amendment to the Military Services Act, the Peru Magnette Railroad is making preparations to bring in a large number of southern United States Negroes to this city and offer divisional points, and specially train them for the duties of firemen. No less than fifty firemen on this line from here have been taken on military duty during the past ten days, and it is impossible to run the road without that help. It is understood provision has been made by the United States authorities and our government to carry out this movement. If the scheme works out satisfactorily the Michigan Central and Wabash, who are suffering just the same shortage of help, will adopt the plan. It is not known how the brotherhood and other unions will receive this new departure. PAGE*. 8 es Gon gee ee THE 67. LovIs‘ARGUS <0 Se en ee Uncle Sam Needs Qur Men.

The children showed they had been well trained under a worthy theacher. The Colored citizens of Jefferson City will look to this school to maintain the education of the future youth of the capital city, as well as the future generation of this state. The Colored citizens of Jefferson City were so well pleased with Miss Dorton's work they bought her a Liberty bond of $50 for the school. The names of the founders of this school will appear in the Argus later. The only thing we could wish for now is that we had such men in every town in the state. To follow these men means to help the race, and we feel sure they will not lead us to join the political Ananias club of job hunters. So mote it be...

With a light touch on the shoulder by a deacon he was informed that it was his painful duty to me out. Upon this request the reporter made a hurried exit. The next day several readers of the Argus wanted to know what the trouble was, and the only information the reporter could give was close communion. But the deacon said, don't forget our grand rally, give a good write up and bring two dollars please. For those who did not attend the Argus cannot give any information as to, who was elected pastor. Maybe we will learn in the near future. Let us hope so... Don't forget the grand bazaar at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church. Hush! Be quiet, don't talk, let Rev. Curry tell you about it on the 27th.

"Watch us grow in His name." C. White reporter. LANE TABERNACLE After pervading Chicago for several weeks our pastor returned, bringing several highly distressed churchmen, among them we, Dr. A. K. Calhoun, General Secretary, Epworth College who had not visited our church since the days of All Labs Syne, Dr. Calhoun preach for us Sunday morning, but before we began our mon, he related to us a facts about the work of the Epworth League of which he has been General Secretary for 5 years, and has just been re-elected for another 4 years term. The Secretary is very pleased with the past 5 years' work, although he expresses the belief that when the people of the C. M. E. church wake up to the real morning of the word "Epworth" they will take much more interest in the work. The speaker said as Secretary of the Epworth League he had come to stay. That the work needed him and he needed the work, although he admitted that he had the hardest race in Chicago that he ever had before, as there were several strong candidates in the race for his office. Dr. Calhoun's text was centered on the cross, the tragedies and glories being the central figures. The congregation withstood the tragedies, but the glories with the final coming was too much for them, and several took the liberty to express their happiness. Dr. Calhoun is not loud and sturdy, but has lovely pulpit manners, and a tone everyone admires. Mr. John Curtis, who was our delegate to the General Conference, brings us the following report: The entire Bishops' college was reflected although a few changes were made in the districts. Our church has been placed in the Sixth Episcopal District over which Bishop R. A. Curtis presides. All of the remaining Bishops have their same territory. The C. M. E. church has long been noted for its excellent aptency and it is with great joy we receive the news that no changes are made. Dr. J. W. Gilbert of Prime College will be editor of the Sunday school department. Our Sunday school had a record breaking attendance last Sunday morning. The Morning Star was probably the happiest class in the Sunday school. Every member says they certainly had a pleasant surprise. We all credited to Mrs. Sarah Parish, corresponding secretary of the class, who has been in Memphis, Tenn., for several months. Mrs. Parish same as unannounced when the class was in the midst of the lesson Sunday morning, and the members were certainly glad to see her. Mrs. Parish resides at 415 Finshey Ave. The "Fruit of His Holly" will play a return engagement at the church Monday evening at 6:00. The heart that bears truly, bears never forgets. But truly loves on to the close. Barefoot As the sunflower turns to her goal when The same look she turned when he rose. *See the play Monday night and learn more about the story.* The Tableau of Nations It is proper to introduce, a brief description of this excellent play presented by our own I. S. Person Club. The scopes were all full of life and well enclosed until we were all sorry when the play was over. Little Miss Aricenia, Campbell's rhythmic welcome was certainly pleasing. A Child's Prayer, by Dorothy Person, was also fine. The musical solo, by Miss Josephine Harris, was good, the music rendered by Mrs. W. H. Ward; for the Onward Christian Chorus was also fine. The living pictures made a great hit, the best was introduction of Japan by Miss May Burnette. Sponsor J. C. Campbell should be happy to know that his club has made such a great impression. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES manager of the A. M. E. Publishing House, Philadelphia, Pa., preached for us Sunday morning. Dr. Lowe's ability as a public speaker and pulpiteter is well known to the general connection from coast to coast. It can be said of him as of Moses, his knowledge of the Bible and ministry, seem to grow stronger and stronger. His many years of hardship seemingly serve to stimulate rather than deteriorate. Those who heard Dr. Lowe, Sunday mornings wege greatly benefited. At the conclusion of his sermon several united with the church. Dr. Johnson brought the message Sunday, and were well paid for attending church Sunday morning and night. We are heading on toward the quarterly. Meeting now and every auxiliary is bending their efforts to make it surpass any in the history of the church. The pastor has made special preparations for his sermon Sunday morning. Hear him.

Not good enough to be guaranteed the civil rights, which are the God-given inheritance of all American citizens; not good enough to receive the equal protection of the courts of America; not good enough to own and occupy decent dwellings on prominent streets and in choice neighborhoods; not good enough to receive the benefits of adequate educational facilities like other Americans; not good enough to be given sanitary transportation accommodations, while paying the same fare as do other Americans; not good enough to sit beside in street cars and other public conveyances, but, good enough, thank God, to stand like men, and fight to the death against overwhelming odds, on a foreign soil for the protection of those who constantly deny them their civil and legal rights. The above is the story of unsurpassed bravery and bulldog courage of Privates Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts, who standing shoulder to shoulder in the midnight darkness of No Man's Land; somewhere in France, fought to defeat ten times their number, and who will, without a doubt be decorated for their bravery by the French Government; which knows no color line. While a Negro man and his wife and two other Negroes were being lynched without a trial or jury, and another Negro was being hunted by mobs in Georgia as if he were a wild beast, Privates Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts were giving their life blood in order that the members of the dastardly mob might be spared the curse of autocracy. What will America say? What will be her answer? Will she stand idly and without protest and see this camouflage of democracy continued in her own domain? Will she not stand behind the fine morale of her Negro troops, by giving them the assurance that while they are in foreign lands fighting for America America will insure the protection of their loved ones here at home? There is no question of the American Negro's gameness, and his loyalty borders on the verge of fanaticism. How America can suffer such people to be unwarrantedly mistreated, is beyond the imagination of other countries. America, what is your answer?

Just who is responsible for the Colored children and their parents being humiliated in the Red Cross parade last Saturday we cannot say. We cannot believe that the parents would have allowed their children to take part in the parade under the auspices of the St. Louis Public Schools and allowed them to be forced to the tail end of the procession, of not only the St. Louis Public Schools, but such as the Parochial, Business County and even the East St. Louis Schools. The moral effect upon a child can never be told. Such influences have a tendency to cower the youth and make them feel that their position in this country is that of inferiority. It enslaves the mind, which is the worst form of slavery. Our School board has much to boast of in that we have fine buildings and equipment and teaching forces; but to sanction such acts as that of last Saturday is like the old saying, "climbing up two feet and falling back four." It should never occur again. A democracy, not that I am as good as you; but that you are as good as I am.—Emmett Scott.

Special recognition will be given at the service to the work of the N. A. A, C.

It is expected that there will be a large attendance at this unique service. THE NEGRO SOLDIER Dedicated to Privates Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts, who defended 'twenty-four Germans in.' "No Man's Land." When you speak of the Negro soldier, it makes the blood rub fast. His cool courageous record lives in all wars of the past. When our country is in danger, he is first to volunteer. He thinks of naught but the country's call. Would that all men were as loyal As the abused and humble black. Who is as true as steel in time of need. Though often he is kept back. When we are at war, he does not stop To think of the many wrongs. He feels that God is with him, When he goes into the light, And hopes that he who rules the world, Will some day make things right. You may talk about your heroes, And their deeds of valor won; But there is none more worthy of our praise, Than America's Negro son. When a man has been mistreated, And then goes forth to fight For those who have cruelly wronged him, He is game—be he black or white. If black troops get a fighting chance, And pray God, that they will, They'll march right into Berlin, Like they did up San Juan Hill. All honor to the Negro soldier, May victory his portion be. All hail the mistreated hero, Who is fighting for you and me. When this great war exceeded, And the dove of peace draws nigh, We will all share in democracy Of know the reason why. ORPHAN HOME DAY A SUCCESS The Orphans' Home Managers were blessed with a perfect day last Sunday and probably the largest crowd that ever visited the home was out. The following statement has been issued by the officers: Orphans' Home day on last Sunday was a splendid success, $679.93. The expenses were $150.53. It is understood that there are some receipts yet to come in so that the total receipts will probably be several hundred dollars. The Orphans' Board desires to thank all those who took part in making the day a success. Signed, Mrs. E. J. Smith, pres., W. L. Perry, treas, Mrs. M. A. Hedgeman, See.

Play Part for Month "The story of how our Negroes entered the war is one of the most remarkable that I have encountered during many months with Gen. Pershing a lossless year before we declared war, yet they (deleted) go into action. They went into the trenches with less training on French soil than any of our other troops have had. They were in line more than a month without suffering a single casualty, and still the only reports received from enemy fire are those received by Johnson and Roberts, although the French on either side of them had losses usual in quiet sectors; they have aided the French to bring back prisoners in a raid to the enemy second line and lost none themselves." "In preparation for a raid, which was carried out by a France-American storming party, our railway artillery took a ponderous part in brausing the Germans. Thus our "coffee creams," as the Poilus call them, heard the big-caliber projectiles fired by American gunners rumbling overhead within a very few days after they began facing the enemy. "When the raiders went over the top, the Frenchmen's faces were painted with the usual lampack, a preparation employed to prevent their whiteness being seen in the dark, but it was deemed unnecessary to apply this coating to the faces of their American companions." After describing the fight, Eyre writes: "The dead and Sounded Germans were loaded on two stretchers the raiding party had brought with them and retreat began. They left behind them six wire-cutters—which indicates that the strength of the party must have been at least 24, because one such tool goes with every four men—three automatic pistols, a couple of dozen grenades and a round cap. This was worn by the man whose skull was slashed open by Johnson's bolo and had a thick lock of hair on it. Johnson summoned all his remaining strength and hurled one last grenade. "The fight last merely three minutes, immediate, was over, Lieut. Richardson Pratt advanced from the point of resistance, which was certainly the German objective, and had the two wounded Negroes taken to the rear. They are in process of recovering in a French hospital, and, as both have told their commanding officer, craving another go at 'emN "In indicating to his superior that the two ducky soldiers had driven off 10 times their number of Germans, the French General observed: "'The American officer's report of this affair is too modest, for from verbal information it appears that the Nazi groves were exceedingly brave. This little combat does honor to the Americans, and I have begged their commander to indicate the men meriting recognition.'" SERGEANT SIMMONS VISITS ST. LOUIS Sergant Ottoway P. Simmons made a brief visit to his home city St. Louis this week. He was joined here by his mother, Mrs. Bettie Simmons-Ball of Detroit.

WARD CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Kniuch. Mo. Ward Chapel A. M. E. Church, Kinloch, is rallying to raise $200. July 7. Rey. Baker has arranged to have four sermons by neighboring ministers. All are invited. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, of New York, makes public resolutions passed within the last few days by the Tennessee State Conference of Charities and Corrections. Mr. Shillady announces that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is much gratified to note the patriotic activities of the Tennessee Law and Justice League. To create public opinion in that state which will make the lynching and burning of Negroes at the stake impossible in the future. The resolutions of the Tennessee Conference of Charities and Corrections call upon the President of the United States to issue a proclamation to the American people to the effect that the lynching of Negroes by white mobs constitutes a crime against the nation, and appeal to Congress to pass laws so declaring and giving to federal grand juries and federal courts the right to indict and the power to try lynchers. The resolutions refer to the lynching of Negroes by whites as treasonable to the nation, as striking at the very root of national solidarity and efficiency; they declare that mob lynchings will have the effect of increasing the length of the war and the cost in dead and wounded and that their occurrence gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Jesse J. Johnson will be master of ceremonies on the all day excursion. Monday morning, June 17, the boat will stop at Alton, going and coming. The boat will leave foot of Olive St, at 9 a.m. AS NEAR AS YOUR TELEPHONE. DISTANCE IMMATERIAL In a-metropolitan city of this size, there are people who constantly suffer with their feet, and who try every remedy available; even old knives and razors to obtain relief. Let the price you pay for these remedies be a business proposition and have the cause removed; it will benefit you in dollars and cents. Too often by trying every remedy and old instruments not only brings sorrow to the sufferer, but may bring misfortune and cause death to kneck at your door. The time has arrived when we should look forward and not backward in caring for our feet. When nature put forth man upon the earth, every bone, muscle, nerve and ligament was normal, but most people transgress the laws of nature by abusing their feet with ill-fitting foot-wear and cause corns, bunions, ingrownns and many other growths to migrate there. My new system of extracting these growths without pain has won for me a nice practice in this city. My many years of practice and careful study of the foot is your assurance of good work. A call will convince you. DR. E. JUNIOR TURNER, christophor, 4257w Labadie Ave., phone Colafax 1097-J. Hours 8 to 10 a.m.; 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday by appointment.

The program which "Sus" rendered prior to the sermon, was a patriotic nature, and brought to light the pleasing knowledge that the Ancient United Knights and Daughters of Africa, have among their members some of St. Louis' most intelligent and cultured citizens. The following numbers on the program are deserving of special mention: "The A. U. K. and D. at A. and the Race," by Mrs. Cora J. Carter, "Contribution of the Negro to America" by Mrs. Edith Terrell, "Africa's Worth to the World," by Miss Octavia M. Taylor, "The Meaning of U. S.

He was born in Louisiana, Mo., Feb. 28, 1866, being 51 years, 4 months, at the time of his death. He was the son of Joseph and Ellen Mitchell, both of them old and highly esteemed residents of this city for many years. They proceeded him in death a few years ago. Frank lived here until about 20 years ago when he moved to St. Louis, where he conducted a successful business. He was a man of force and determination of character, yet kind, forgiving and a good friend. It can be truly said of him that he had very few enemies, if any. He had his frailties and his weaknesses. (Who had it?) but they were of a character that affected no one but Frank. The writer has known him to for 40 years and had his friendship and confidence and can truly say he was a good son and brother, a good citizen, a good husband and a good neighbor. Many years ago he united with the Northern Methodist church and much of his early life manifested in church work. He was a member of Highes Lodge No. 23 A. F. & A. M. of Louisiana, Mo.

IN MEMORIAM IN MEMORIA In memory of William Arrington, who died May 21, 1917. The month of May once more is here. To me the saddest of the year; Memory, daughter, is as dear today As the hour you passed away; You are not forgotten dearest one; Nor will you forget be. As long as life and memory last I will remember thee. You suffered much and murmured not; I watched you day by day. And saw you slowly pine away; Vet in my heart I often prayed That you might longer stay. But all through your suffering, You would smile and say; The smile of heavenly birth; Until at last with broken heart, I watched you pass away. Your devoted wife, Mrs. Mary E.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There age, so many so called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than per famed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp, he sure and got a remedy of proven merit. Neely'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, massaging 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 Quinadae it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinadaoap. Quinadaoap is made entirely oat of pure, vegetable oils, especially coconut oil, and is a thorny cleanser. Quinadaoap 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 Quinadae and Seeby's Quinadaoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstress 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 Quinadae mentioning the name of this paper. Adv.

Onward Commandery No. 2, Knights Templar, will assemble for degree work. The Argus Publishing Company gives special attention to the printing of fraternal and business cards. (2) For if there came unto your son assembly a man with a gold ring, in good apparel, and there came in also a poor man in inferior mement; (3) And ye have respects for him that weareth the衣 clothing, and say unto him, sit thou here in a good place; and say unto the poor, stand thou there, or sit under my foot stool; (4) Are ye not partial in yourselves, and are become the judges of evil thoughts—James, 2nd chapter. The annual Orphans' Home celebration last Sunday, under direction of the Masonicie lodges of the city, was a decided success from a point of attendance and money collected: At their fifteenth anniversary celebration, bell at Central Baptist church last Monday night, magnificent donations to Bro. Pettiford and wife were given them through the thoughtful kindness of their many friends. Every resemblance was opportune and practical. Bro. Pettiford is a charter member of the Missouri Grand Lodge of Masons. It is all right to have a strong pull, but a little push will get you a little further. Grand High Priest T. G. McCampbell of the Royal Arch Masons of this jurisdiction will make an official visit to the city June 15. It is the express hope of District Deputy John C. Faugh that the chapter companions will take advantage of this golden opportunity. Rose Croix Chapter No. 29. Scottish Rite Masons, announces a public installation of its officers on April 7 at the Masonic Temple. Choice music and a well prepared program for the occasion. . . . . The various Masonic lodges are liberally contributing to a Land, the purpose of which is to purchase a desk for District Deputy G. M. Henderson, as an emblem of brotherly love and esteem. Saturday night, June I, Louis Lodge, A. E. & A. M., will conduct degree work. Bro. Smith, their energetic master, extends a genius invitation to the entire Masonic brotherhood. E. J. Cooper, grand lecturer of the Masonic lodges of this district, will make his official visit to St. Louis on the 28th. Hundreds of unappreciative persons get into our lodges. It is impossible to prevent it. Though they profane our ceremonies when they underg them and are a dead weight upon the fraternity as long as they are known as members, yet we cannot get rid of them. They are the drones of the hive—the vanguards of our community—pursors of our profession. What good they do we know not, unless it is to prove the institution imperfect and to keep good brothers humble. Despite the judgment weather, a creditable number of enthusiastic young men were in attendance at the regular Wednesday night meeting for Masonville institutions, which was held at 3419 Lawtown avenue. The students were carefully quizzed by Bros. Victoria and Ray Wilson. SHRINE GOSSIP The entertainment given by Medinah Temple of Shriners on last Monday night at their hall proved to be a gigantic success, both as to quality and quantity, even though many big funfessions were scheduled for the evening at other places of amusement, that fact seemed to deter none of the guests from accepting the generous hospitality of the Sons of the Desert. Noble Sam Sexton was on the firing line with his symphony orchestra, and the merry dancers fell to with the greatest glece Dumeng Master Lucky gas in complete evidence and performed his duties creditably. Aside from the unusual quintude of "Rabbits" and a few other nobles whose "hands were tied," the occasion was a brilliant affair, with many food hopes extemporaneously expressed for an early repeater. A smoker will be the feature following the next meeting of Medinah Temple, Noble F. J. Cooper, grand lecturer of the Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., has consented to be present, being a member of that body. A committee is in search of "Fluver" to ascertain why he was not present at the "Swiners" entertainment. Noble Ray Wilson, recording secretary of the Temple, has been accepted as one of the man to instruct the drafters. If you want to know why the attendance at all of the meetings of Medinah Temple of Shriners is so large, ask Illustrous Potentate Monroe Ernest. PHOTO-PENNANTS.

"The Tiger Man" In "The Tiger Man," is a bandit of a type not often seen in pictures. He meets his fate in the person of a pretty young woman, the wife of a minister of the gospel. He forces her to leave her husband for himself, but when she attempts suicide, to escape the horror of his touch, his slumbering soul, steeped in crime, awakens, and he is reformed. To aid her religious designs he cheerfully surrenders himself to the authorities, but she is unconscious of the great sacrifice he has made in her behalf. The various scenes of the picture are thrilling to a degree, the action rapid and the heart interest is well sustained. See it at the Pendleton, Monday and Tuesday.
