NEGRO LOYALTY MAGNIFICENTLY DEMONSTRATED The People's Paper The Trade Maker VOL. VII. NO. 9 NEGRO LOY MAGNIFIC DEMONS Spectacular Parade An- ering At Coliseum, West In History Of C View Wonderful Pa Negro Loyalty. Day was celebrated in St. Louis Thursday with the greatest and most magnificent demonstration by Colored people in the history of the city. The event was a patriotic benefit for the Colored Women's Unit, Council of National Defense. The arrangement consisted of a monster parade and wonderful mass meeting at the Coliseum. The Gliiscum crowd was most remarkable because it is the first time in St. Louis since the declaration of war that thousands have paid to attend a patriotic meeting. If clearly demonstrates the undeniable loyalty of the Negro in this great strife for democracy. The entire proceedings were under the directorship of a woman—Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, chairman of the Colored Women's Unit, and much credit is due her and her able assistants for its glorious success. The Big Parade The parade started from Page and Grand without, much delay. Thousands crowded the sidewalks along the line of march and cheered as the spectacle passed by. On Grand avenue a tremendous reception was tendered by a continuous line of whites in automobiles and on foot. A platoon of mounted police rode at the head, followed by the speakers in automobiles. Four bands, two union, the Pythian and the Odd Fellows, were in line. Medinah Temple No. 39 led the marchers. They were followed by Shaw Post No.343, G. A. R., several branches of the Maonic Lodge, the Reveler Girls' Club, the lady employees of the Missouri Bag Company, the Funken Mercantile Company and the Danis Bag Company. St. Paul Church, Pythian Lodges, about 1,200 Class I drafted men, graduate nurses, Red Cross members, the St. Louis Boosters, Taborians, Elks and Lady Elks, Y. W. C. A., Women's Defense Council, Hawaiian Boys' Social Club, a number of girls' clubs and citizens in automobiles. Maj. William H. Butler was grand marshal. Traffic was congested along Grand avenue and several cross-streets. All of the marching clubs were distinctive uniforms and were lustily cheered, especially the drafted boys. The Boosters were expensive pearl-gray Fedoras, silk red white and blue ties, and carried canes of the national colors. The nurses and Red Cross members were appropriately dressed, and all participants except uniform lodges carried the Stars and Stripes. The mammoth procession reached the Coliseum at 8:30 o'clock. Twelve hundred drafted men of Class "A," the guard of honor, Gen. William H. Butler in command, led by First Regiment Band, K. of P., marched in, then around the convention hall, amid showers of applause from the crowd audience of patriotic and loyal citizens. Banners were borne by many of the draftees with the inscription in glaring letters, "Our how are facing death in France; back them up." Before the men were seated enthusiasm was at its height and instantly, with loud acclaim, as though their souls were touched with fire, hundreds of voices were heard singing "Keep the Home Fires Burning" in honor of the Class "A" men, who are in the June draft. A chorus composed of pupils of Summer High, under, the direction of Mr. Gerald Tyler, rendered choice music. Rev. S. W. Parr, pastor Bereshterian Church, led in forwent prayer for the race, country and for the soldiers on the fields of battle. "Send Out The Light!" was sung by the high school chorus, after which Mrs. Victorina Clavley, chairman, Colored Women's Unit, Council of National Defense, in stating the purpose of the demonstration, said. "We are here tonight to dedicate our lives to our country. While thousands of our boys are fighting 'over there' we should assure them that we shall be praying here. If the war is to be won it is to be done through prayer." She read a telegram from Theodore Roosevelt, expressing his regrets, saving he would have been pleased to attend. "I have a great respect for what the Negroes in the country are doing, and I am proud that I fought side by side with them in the Spanish War." he wrote. The chairman presented Dr. R. F. Abbott, pastor Union Memorial M. F. Church, who made a few well-chosen remarks, and introduced Postmaster Colin M. Selph, who spoke on the subject, "Winning the War." He complained of a sore throat, but with a clear and resounding voice declared with great force that the Negro was doing his bit for this country. He paid a glowing tribute to Henry Turner, the Negro artist whose paintings are in the Hall of Fame in Paris, France. "The first Americans to carry the flag over the ton was a Colored man. The first two medals of awarded by Gen. Pershing were to men of your race. You're heard of the Blue Devils of France; the Imperial Whites of England, etc., when the drafted bovs, who sit behind me get 'over there' and have The St. Louis Argus finished with the Kaiser, you will hear of the Black Devils of America." said the Postmaster. Dr. Charles Henry Phillips Jr., was the next speaker. After complimenting Mrs. Haley for her indomitable efforts to make the Negro Loyalty Day a success, he electrified the great throng with a few remarks that were filled with solid thought and brilliant ideas. Referring to the drafttees, he stated: "The Negro boys sit here tonight, happy or with reluctance; whatever their condition is, they are going forth to make this world safe for democracy." Ringing like a shot from a heavy army gun, the Doctor said further: "And when they return, America must be safe for them. The black man has always been loyal and has never shirked since the day of the landing of Columbus to the rule of Woodrow Wilson." Mr. Findly, a representative of Mayor Kiel, was cited by Dr. Phillips. His talk was punctured with expression of confidence in the Negro patriotism: The statement, "Boys who are courageous enough to go over 3,000 miles to fight are courageous enough to win," met with an outburst of aplause. He also said: "You could not keep the Negroes from fighting if their hands were bound with twine." Mr. Festus J. Wade, director of the War. Savings Committee, was programed for an address, and without any preliminaries reviewed the undaunted fidelity of the Negro. Speaking of the men of Class, "A. he said: 'Is there any reason why these men will not bring back victory. It was a black man in the Spanish American War who made a President of the United States. The black men at Carrival made Perking General of the United States Army.' Mr. Wade said that in all of his experience in St. Louis he had never seen a more inspiring audience than was present. Thursday night at the Coliseum. He said, further, "There is a doctrine laid down by some misguided people that the Negro is wasteful." He declared it is a fallacy and admonished its hearers to economize by seeing to it that a portion is saved of whatever amount of money they earn. Regarding the question of color, he continued: "You talk about color, but your blood is just as red as any white man's in America." We are fighting against a slavery greater than that of '61 and '63. We are fighting to free the people of all nationalities and climes. "In all the annals of history, there was never known to be a Negro traitor. When the flag is placed 'over there,' a Negro will be there, too, to typify it." The Negro in the World's Crisis Dr. W. H. Peck, pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, was asked to introduce Dr. W. S. Scarborough, President of Wilberforce University, who delivered the principal address. The scholarly gentleman rose with his usual striking appearance, and vet cool and deliberate, with polished English, said in part, as follows: "A man would either be steel or iron if he were not moved by a demonstration like this. I have visited many cities and traveled extensively and I find a spirit of co-operation on the part of the white and Colored people of St. Louis that I don't find elsewhere. "If there ever was a time in our history when the American people ought to forget race and lay aside race discrimination, it is now. If there ever was a time in our American life when brotherly love and kindly feeling should prevail throughout the length and breadth of this land of ours it is certainly now. Any other policy is dangerous and means the alienation of those whose help is needed. Now is the time when we need and must have a united people regardless of race or color. It will take a united people to win this war, and this can only be brought about by forgetting race distinctions and race discriminations, and by treating the Negro people like other citizens—as men, regardless of their color. The man who encourages lynchings or advocates race segregation, or any form of proscription that degrades and humiliates a people because of color, may be classed with the pro-German element and should be dealt with accordingly. No punishment is too severe to be inflicted upon men of this type, especially in times like these. "The Negro is loyal and patriotic. He is no slacker, nor is he a coward. He is a fighter, and a brave one at that. History proves this. No further testimony is needed. All he asks is a chance." President Searborough spoke of the causes of this war and the United States as one of the allied nations and the Negro's duty in this great struggle. He thought that there were many evidences now of a new democracy in the treatment of Negro soldiers, and that the race problem would be solved and solved by the Negro in khaki. (Continued on page 4.) Published In The Interest Of Colored People HOWARD U. ELECTS NEW PRESIDENT Special to The Arzna Washington, D. C., June 10.—Rev. J. Stanley Durkee, Ph.D., for many years pastor of the famous South Congregational Church, of Campello, Brockton, Mass., one of New England's most influential religious organizations, was unanimously chosen as president of Howard University at a meeting of the board of trustees held on Tuesday of last week. The selection was made by a rising vote, and only the one name was offered for consideration. The merits and superior availability of Dr. Durkee were most eloquently presented by Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary of Y. M. C. A., and secretary of the special committee delegated by the board to suggest a suitable man for the headship of the University. Gracious Tribute to the Retiring President Dr. Newman Dr. Stephen Morrell Newman, after a faithful service of six years, retires voluntarily from the presidency to engage in literary work. He indicated by the tender of his resignation nearly two years ago his desire to take up a less onerous task because of his advancing age. Dr. Newman was tendered a unanimous vote of thanks by the trustees for his efficient and conscientious labors in behalf of the institution and fitting resolutions were likewise adopted. Recently, as a testimonial of their appreciation and good will, the faculty and officers presented to Dr. Newman a beautiful silver loving cup.

McPherson, Commander No. 12. Vandalia, Mo., June 10, 1918 Having just about completed more than 1,550 miles official tour, visiting lodges of the Knights of Pythias Southeast, Central West, and Northwest, grand domain of Missouri, it is my greatest pleasure to inform you, and all hardworking members of the order that my visit to the Pythian Lodges throughout the state has been the most pleasant and profitable of all visits for many years. Thousands of Pythians everywhere in Missouri working day and night as never before in the membership campaign for one thousand new members for the year's work, with victory in sight, which is assured with best results at St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph, Fulton, Sedalia, Poplar Bluff, Caruthersville, Buneceton, Fayette, Maeon, Auxvasse, Columbia and Hannibal. I cheerfully extend heartfelt thanks and congratulations to the Chancellor Compounders and to the members of all subordinate lodges, Knights of Pythias State of Missouri, upon the great amount of good work accomplished during the present year. I will arrive in St. Louis Friday, June 14, at which time it is my sinecer hope to confer with all chancellor commanders, past grand chancellors, supreme representatives, grand representatives and Grand Lodge officers of the twenty-one subordinate lodges, city of St. Louis, at the Pythian Temple, 3137 Pine street, Saturday, June 15, at 8:30 p.m. Yours faithfully. A. W. Lloyd, G. C. THE PEOPLES HOSPITAL About 25 years ago a number of prominent white and Colored men founded the Provident Hospital and Training School for nurses. This institution did creditable work in this city until the building in which it was located became inadequate. The charter under which the association operated was not democratic enough to meet the increased needs. The charter has been revised and the name changed to the Peoples Hospital Association. On June 6 the Association elected the following Board of Directors: A. M. Cloyd, M. J. Gilliam, T. L. Gentry, P. D. George, R. A. James, C. L. Lightfoot, J. W. Myers, C. H. Turner, J. L. Usher, J. L. Velar, Jos. E. Wilkinson, Frank J. Williams, Mrs. Nellie Agee, Mrs. A. W. Craddock, Mrs. T. J. Nevins. The board organized with M. J. Gilliam President; J. L. Usher, First vice-President; F. D. George, Second vice-President; C. H. Turner, Secretary); J. W. Myers, Treasurer. The Association has purchased the magnificent building located at Theheres and Pine Sts., and has paid $1,000 on same and is to pay $1,000 July 1, 1918. ST.

We owe it to the young people of Missouri to meet in our first State Allen Christian Endeavor League Convention in order that we may learn to do more and better work for God and the young people. Owing to the high cost of living, the good people of Macon are compelled to charge the small amount of seventy-five cents a day for our entertainment, which is nothing in comparison to what good we will get out of the meeting, and the royal manner the Allen C. E. League of Macon will entertain us. Bishop H. B. Parka, D.D., Presiding Bishop; Rev. Julian C. Caldwell, General Secretary; Mrs. Sadie E. Dimery, State Imperintendent; Miss Minnie Ross, Conf. Supt, Missouri Conf.; Rev. A. R. Fox, Conf. Supt. N. Missouri Conf.; Mr. Arthur Johnson, Conf. Supt. S. W. Missouri Conference. July 8 is the date set by the captains and team workers for the next rally on the New Y. M. C. A. Building fund. This will give the workers practically four weeks in which to line up the work on the New Drive for $3,000 is set as the objective by that time. This amount will bring the total amount of the fund up to $35,000. Money from the Women's Tag Day continues to come in that the total now is $1,250. The Star Workers in the campaign for the Y./M. C. are as follows: Simon Dupree, J./W. Myers, L. S. Williams, E. D. Hamilton, B. H. Lillard, C. H. Turner, Fred P. Blair, J. H./B. Evans, Ernest Patillo, Hutchins J. H. Evans, Williams V.

A number of other team workers had amounts bearing $50 and are aiming to make their collections pass the mark. The team workers are lining up to make the next drive a great success. The theatre managers swelled the fund by bringing in the following contributions: The Booker Washington, Mr. Chas. Turpin, manager, $25; The Retina, Mr. Gentin, manager, $5, and the Movie, Mr. Thomas James, manager, $16.

Admission 25 cents. Refreshments. LEFFINGWELL AND LAWTON has been selected as a site for a Playground for Colored children. RED CROSS DENIES DISCRIMINATIONS Joseph R. Hamlen of the National Headquarters of the American Red Cross Society, in answer to an inquiry, sent out from the office of Lammert J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, declares, among other things, that the services of the Red Cross are being "rendered to the white and Colored officers and enlisted men alike, and without distinction." Mr. Hamlen said, "No distinction whatever is being made because of the color of the enlisted men. Sweaters and other knitted goods and comforts have been distributed to white and Colored alike. We are rendering the same service to the families of white and Colored alike. Emergency supplies are furnished at the request of Colored officers, and in the hospitals, our men who do communication work, write letters at the request of enlisted men, without distinction because of color." He cites an instance of the severe cold spell last winter when 2,500 sweaters in a few hours and 10,000 within 10 days were furnished drafted men in a cantonment, a majority going to colored men. As to the Use of Colored Red Cross Nurses The situation with regard to the use of Colored Red Cross nurses is a matter which also is now receiving the attention of the War Department. The Secretary of War, Mr. Scott advises, will soon announce through the Office of the Surgeon General the decision with reference to the utilization of the many competent women of the face who have an cheerfully registered their willingness to aid in the winning of the war by serving as nurses in the military hospitals at home and abroad. BIBLE CHAUTAUQUA All preparations for the meetings of the Colored Bible Chautauqua which is to begin Sunday night at 8:00 o'clock in the cloth tabernacle at Lucas and Lefengwell have been completed. All of the meetings of the Chautauqua will be under the direction of Evangelist U. S. Willis who has conducted similar meetings in Atlanta, Ga. Washington, D. C. and other cities. The first sermon of the Chautauqua will be delivered Sunday night, the subject being "God's Hammer." A feature of unusual interest to be introduced in connection with the meetings here will be a question-and-answer service after each address, at which time it will be the privilege of anyone in the audience to ask any question on a Bible or religious subject. Associated with Mr. Willis will be an efficient corps of workers. Bible instruction will be given free of charge in the homes of those who request it, by two excellent teachers, Mrs. L. D. Wilson and Mrs. L. V. Smith. Meetings will be held every night except Saturday night beginning at 5:00 p.m. Each service will be pre- Olivet Bapt. Church Launches Drive The Olivet Baptist Church located at 4200 Finney Ave. (formerly the Whittier Baptist Church, 1108 N. Whittier St.) under the leadership of its young pastor, Rev. J. 4. Custon, has launched a drive for $200 by the second Sunday in July for the purpose of remodeling and equipping its new home which it recently purchased at 4200 Finney Ave. The first effort will be made on the fourth Sunday in this month at the Tampa Bay Baptist Church, 2726 Dine St., when at least half of the proposed $200 is expected to be raised. Readers of the Argus will remember our announcement a few weeks ago of the splendid progress made by this energetic and God-fearing people. A big loyalty meeting of all the baptists in St. Louis is to be held at the above church on the aforementioned date, at which time it is expected that the people will show their honor and esteem for the leaders whose names are presented in another column of this paper. The interest and services held, in this church, we are told, are increasing and the splendid attendance warrants immediate action on the part of the church. Five hundred dollars will put them in position to accommodate 300 more people, besides greatly enhancing the comfort of the worshippers. The pastor has announced that on Sunday morning he will preach from the subject: "The Pale Horse and His Rider" (a war sermon) and on Sunday night a new phase of "Genesis, L." will be presented. A departmental Sunday school awaits the children at 1:00 p.m. under the splendid superintendency of Mr. Benjamin Elazer. Everyone is welcome to all services. REGULAR MEETING N. A. A. C. P.

It is so fine the short while I have used it, I am enclosing two pictures of myself--one before and one after using, although I am a shade brighter than the light one. It has had great results with me. I have already sold a great deal of the Black and White. They are asking about it every day, so please let me have the order as soon as possible. MRS. M. E.

There are quite a number of aspirants for the offices which are to be filled at the coming election. And now that all the candidates have filed their declarations and are asking the suffrage of the people, it is the duty of the voter to look them over carefully, and make a diligent inquiry as to their qualifications and fitness before he decides to support them. This is very important and especially to the Negro. There are those among the candidates, whose records are full of broken promises; besmirched with race prejudice, and bias on all questions where the Negro's rights are concerned. At the primary election is the proper time and place to exercise the best judgment. The Argus will, as it has done in the past, give the records of these men for the benefit of its readers. We owe our allegiance to men and measures that are fair and just to our race, but we should set our faces like flint against those who are prejudiced and who seek to hinder our progress. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. EFFICIENCY One-hundred per cent. efficiency of our man-power is essential in the great conflict that confronts the nation just now. When the war broke out in Europe four years ago, this country naturally was not prepared; but we are preparing now. It is the duty of the nation to see that every man that is called or is subject to call, be he black or white, is given the opportunity to register 100 per cent. in efficiency. We are very much gratified with the statement that nearly four-thousand Negroes are soon to be selected for special training in mechanical and scientific courses, which are being offered by the government. This is right and as it should be. The Negro has made good. He has shown to the world that he is capable of mastering the sciences as other men. This is a step in the right direction on the part of the government. It should go just a step farther: Colored men will make good gunners for our navy. It is, however, humiliating to say, that they only make good "mess attendants." Too, they will make good volunteer soldiers: but, it is mortifying, when we think of them as being best fitted as stevedores. They make good in all places of trust. We venture to say that there would be less fire which destroys property valued at millions of dollars and hundred of lives, if Negroes were given more places of trust. There are hundred of ways in which the Negro could render the nation valuable service if he were only given a chance. Why should he be kept back? Why not give the Negro the opportunity to register one-hundred per cent efficiency? ```markdown ``` Seen By An Argus Eye ```markdown ``` Last week when the "Colored soldiers from Camp Finston arrived en route to" somewhere in France," the whistles in the railroad yards did not blow—WE WONDER WHAT!

In Louisville, Ky., not long ago, one of the most conspicuous features in the Red Cross parade was the Colored ladies. And this is the Louisville that segregated its Negro residents.

Twelfth St. The pastor preached both morning and night last Sunday and the whole day was one of supreme joy to all.

The morning sermon, selected from Matt. 3:9, dealt mainly with the self-satisfied Christian; a just and goodly feast to those that hath ears. One convert was baptized. The evening covenant showed a revelation in its intensity of passionate hunger after Godliness and the obliteration of self. The text at night was even more profound and soulful, "Love one another as I have loved you?" (Jno 13:34), which was delivered after much careful study and prayer with telling effects on the hearers. Every heart seemed to melt and blend with the appeals of the speaker for unity and love until one felt instigatively drawn to the fellow-man and love shone its beams on all through this medium to the glory of God. Holy communion was observed in an atmosphere of spiritual calm that was bordering the heavenly. The young converts club was organized last week and Monday night the officers were duly installed by Rev. J.W. Gaines, the organizer, presiding.

She was a senior in the University of, Illinois when stricken. Pastor and Mrs. Stevens have surviving her two other daughters, Mrs. Edith H.

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear son, and our brother, Excelsior Robinson, who departed this life June 15, 1917. In silence you suffered, In patience you bore, Till God called you home, To suffer no more. Although you are now sleeping peacefully, In Greenwood's quiet shade. Our love and prayer dear son and brother, For you shall never fade. Sadly missed by mother, Harriett Robinson; sisters, Lulu Reynolds, Mammie Green, and brother, Lawrence Robinson. IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of my dear daughter, Murriel C. Pendleton, who entered into paradise June 15, 1917. Loved in life, missed in death. Sadly the shades of evening. Gather around my lonely door, Sincily they bring before me The sweet face I see no more. Days of sadness still come o'er me, Tears in science often flow. For memory keeps you ever near me, Though you died just one year ago. It's only for a little while. Life's journey soon is o'er, But toward the end it's sweet to know, In death we part, no more. Sadly missed by mother, Benlah Pendleton. IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of our dar ling little Louise Sherman, who en- tered into rest June 30, 1917. A loving one from us has gone. A voice we loved is stillled; A place is vacant in our home. That never can be filled. IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of our baby who died June 12, 1917. A loving line from us has gone. A voice we loved is skilled; A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. We loved you well But God loved you best. Sadly, missed by mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. H. Gearin. IN MEMORIAM In memory of Isabella Rush, who departed this life June 15, 1916. The month of June once more is here. To me the saddest of the year.

I took treatments from several doctors and tried many different kinds of patent medicines without good results until I tried Dr. Thurman's Embrocation, Blood and Liver Tablets, and I am happy to say after I took the third bottle I felt like a different man.

When you eat potatoes don't eat Bread U.S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There are so many called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in alhair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and 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 35 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Corp. 79 East 14th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade mentioning the name of this paper. PHOTO-PENNANTS.

A. Garfield 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 knock 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, ingrows 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, chiropodist, 4257w Labadie Ave., phone Colfax 1097 J. Hours 8 to 10 a.m.; 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday by appointment. PETERSON HAIR CO.

Singing is the feature of the entire ball and in this the above talent pair are part excellent. The team is one of the classiest that visits the theatre. Their line of conversation is original and engages several talented pieces that make a big chit. Mr. Day sings "School of Arec!" with a new poesy that is a knock out. Miss Howard sings with her correct tone and incidentally sings a very rich rhythm. Larry number 20 forced by the get-the-pair stops before applause. Mere and Jackson may be a lot of old talk in a time of several popular song numbers. Little Battle Akebi was formerly the comedy soubrette of the Smart Set. She still touches her magnetism. Mr Jackson is an excellent bardstone. The act pleases and wins applause. Edith Goodall has three, good song numbers and does a little dancing. She has a strong voice and puts plenty of vibe in her singing. George Cassay, sheer singer and trifecer, has an original style of art trifecer that requires time to appreciate. In his rendition of "The People," the song and dance of a dandy, he scores a big hit. SECOND FEATURE OF 'BRITAIN'S BULWAKES.' MONDAY The capture of Messines, the important key town between Ypres and Arras, by the British in June 1917, is graphically shown in "Messines and Its Irish Captures," the second feature of the "Britain's Beloved" series, released by Pathé at Booker Washington Theatre next Monday night, June 17, and giving vivid scenes from all phases of the great world war. Added interest attaches to this feature because of the great conflicts waged over the same territory in the gigantic battle on the western front. At 3:10 on the morning of the attack sixteen mannothines are exploded simultaneously beneath the German positions. Hubbels of toils of explosives are used and we see one of the crater-sixty feet, steep, caused by the explosion. The Australians and Irish troops move forward along what was once a beautiful roadway, and Messines it taken. But the Germans reluctantly give up the important position and it is shelled for many hours after taken over by the British troops. Finally, we see the Dublin Fireboats proudly displaying their German troops captured from the defeated Huns.

Mr. James, who owns the Movie and Comet Theatres at 2511 and 2121 Market St., is employing as many if not more colored people in a central way than any other theatre in the city of St. Louis. He deserves our an unwerving support and the Colored queen are not failing to show their ap proval for the courteous treatment and ready donations received at his hands. Without any collection on any other moving picture theatre, his plays are generally high class, hence the overflow crowds daily. E.
