LOUIS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28 (Special to Argus.) Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 20, 1918—Mrs. Laura Cheeks of this city has announced the ensuing marriage of her daughter, Miss Ella, to Bishop Charles Henry Phillips, of Nashville, Tean, and two distinguished families will thus be joined. The Cheeks family come from an old and representative family, of Abingdon, Va., and following the death of the father two years ago, Cleveland became their new home. It is a large family, one of numerous attainments, and education. One son, for an instance, is a Christian minister, one is a practicing lawyer of this city, another is a mechanical engineer, doing inspection work for the Government in Detroit, another holds an official position in the Army, one is a dentist practicing in St. Paul, while still another is pursuing a professional career. One sister, Miss Lena Cheeks, has taught at Tuskegee several years and was recently married to Prof. Walter Shehee by Chapman Whittaker and Bishop Phillips. Miss Ella Cheeks, the bride to be has taught in Virginia and Kentucky. She served two years at Tuskegee and has just resigned to become the wife of the Nashville dignitary. Miss Cheeks graduated from Hampton and subsequently did postgraduate work in Columbia University of New York, Cheney and other well-known institutions; and is a woman of pleasing, charming personality; modest in her manners and deeply religious. These attributes, together with other lovely qualities of head and heart, eminently her for the functions which will devolve upon her. Bishop Phillips is one of the outstanding figures in Methodism and one of the leading churchmen of his generation. He is scholarly, an enquivalent preacher and a writer of power and force. The ceremony will be pronounced in St. Louis at 4:29 West Belle Place, carrying out the wishes of the Bishop and his children, the most of whom live there. That the Bishop should marry in the home of his son, Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., with all the members of the family present, illustrates the fine feeling of the children toward the new addition to their father's home. After the marriage which takes place August 28, Bishop and Mrs. Phillips, accompanied by Miss Lady Emma, will visit points in New Mexico, Arizona and California, returning to "Sunshine" their Nashville home, in the fall. CAMP MERRITT RACE RIOT RE. BUILTS IN SIX DEATHS NEW YORK, August 19.—The death list following the race riot at Camp Merritt on Saturday night has been increased to six—one white and five colored soldiers. Two Negroes died in the hospital last night. Three others are said to be in pecious condition from bayonet wounds. The fight took place between members of the 151st Mississippi Regiment and a Colored Regiment from Texas. Bad blood had existed between the white men and Negroes for several days. They had been assigned to adjoining barracks in the cannonement and fast fights, it is said, had not been infrequent. Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST.LOUIS.MO.FRIDAY.AUGUST 23,1918 An announcement has been made by the president of theEqual Rights League of Boston, Rev. Byron Gunner, that the eleventh annual session of the League will be held at Chicago, Ill., Sept. 17-19. Questions of vital interest to the Colored race will be discussed. Every community is requested to send representatives. Among the things to be said are: "By means of the great world war all nations and races are being tried, as it were, by fire; their real worth and stamina are being severely tested, and some more so that that of Colored Americans; and we must not allow ourselves to be found wanting." "A double burden rests upon our shoulders while this war lasts; we must continue to perform all the duties of citizenship, freely sacrificing our time, our money and our blood for our country; and, at the same time, we must double, rather than diminish, our exertions in our own behalf, unceasingly pressing to the front our own claims and demands for an equal share in the possession and enjoyment of all those rights for which we are fighting. Our very freedom and life, and that of our unborn generations, depend upon our keeping up this double fight." Y. M. C. A. PLANS The Y. M. C. A. is to hold two meetings within the next week to perfect plans and to begin the task of raising the $24,500 necessary for the furnishings and equipment for their new home at Pine and Ewing. The first of these meetings will be held next Sunday, Aug. 25, at the new building and will be for team workers and members only. This meeting is for the purpose of finishing up the plans. The meeting will be held Sunday, Sept. 1, at the Union Memorial church. This will be a public mass meeting and will be addressed by Dr. E. W. D. Isaacs, secretary of the National Baptist Convention. The committee on furnishings has estimated that every cent subscribed by Colored people will be needed to furnish the new home as the people of St. Louis want it. This means that all subscribers will be called upon to pay their pledges in full and will have the opportunity to do this at the meeting of Sept. 1. BAPTIST CHURCH CHANGES NAME At a special meeting of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church the members rallied the advice of the council and did change the name of the church from Mt. Zion to Calvary Baptist Church. All of the members are happy over the advice of the council and Christian fellowship that should exist between Baptists of this city. We can truthfully say, "we are in peace with all mankind." Rev. Harris, our pastor, preached two interesting sermons last Sunday to a large crowd and several came forward and joined the church. Everybody seem to like the new name "Calvary." Next Sunday our pastor will preach from the text. And they four had the face of a man and they four had the face of an ox, and had the face of a lion, and they four had the face of an eagle. "Remember this is a friendly church and all are made to feel at home. You are wanted there next Sunday to bear this wonderful and mysterious sermon. Labor Day, there will be a jubilee and barbecue to be given on the church's lawn. 2625 Morgan Street, L. Nichols, Wm. H. Harris, Pastor, Mt. Zion Baptist Church. WHITE, MEN AND NEGROS FIGHT IN KANSAS CITY Kansas City, Mo., August 19...Several persons were injured tonight and a riot call was sent to Police Headquarters when a crowd of about thirty Negroes engaged in fight with a similar number of white men in public park. The Negroes were returning from a circus in a group, and are said to have offended some of the white men sitting in the park. Fists were used freely and bricks and stones thrown. One Negro was taken to a hospital. Twenty of the Negroes were arrested. Seen By An Argus Eye Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., has purchased the residence property at 4209 West Belle and is converting same into a modern hallgow. One of the special features being added is an artistic porch of pressed brick and tile, also a new garage. The alterations will cost over $2,000 and all the work is being done by Colored mechanics. WEIL ELECTED ON STATE COMMITTEE First Colored Man in Many Years to Receive This Honor From Republican Party in St. Louis - Unanimous Support of Voters of Twelfth Congressional District Is Pledged to Hon. L. C. Dyer. At the meeting of the Twelfth Congressional Committee, last Tuesday, J. M. Weil was elected a member of the Republican State Committee.

J., and when informed by wire of his election, sent the following telegram: Telegram Atlantic City, N. J., August 21, 1915, J. E. Mitchell. 2341 Market St., St. Louis, Mo.

The following St. Louis delegates are in attendance here: Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, J. M. Weil and H. A. Smith. National Association for Advancement of Colored People Makes Protest Against Discrimination on Account of Color The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillard, of New York, makes public a letter addressed to Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, in which the Association directs the attention of Secretary Daniels to the case of two young Colored women, graduates of the high and normal schools at Washington, who had applied to the navy recruiting headquarters at Washington for employment in response to a recent press item in the Washington papers, in which it was stated that women between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five possessing high school education and good health, were wanted for immediate service, and were told by the Department that no Colored people could be enrolled. The Association asks whether it is the intention of the Navy Department, when offering opportunity to women for service in the department, to exclude from such service Colored women who may be able to meet the requirements of the positions offered, and says that while it would feel bound to protest against the restriction of employment in the Navy Department to white women, it would suggest that, if Colored people are to be excluded from employment offered, possible announcements so stating are made. Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church The services held on last Sunday were attended by a large appreciative audience. All enjoyed a spiritual benediction from the morning service when our own pastor, Rev.

First St. Louis Registrants To. Be Taken to Southern Cantonment-Drastic Law Hits Delinquents The eighteen drafted men from the twenty fifth ward, whose names were published in the last issue of the Argus, were sent to Camp Pike, Arkansas. Thursday night at 9:00 pm via the Missouri Pacific. This is the first contingent of Colored men sent from St. Louis to a southern environment. They conclude the class I call, for August and new order is expected until after the first of September, when a draft will probably be made on the June 1, 1915, registrants. There are 122 colored boys in the 17th ward, of this registration placed in class I. The other wards total over 300. A general cleaning up of all the men left in Class I of the 1917 registration will be made September I. These will include the sixteen men remaining in the Twenty fifth Ward and a few seated among other wards, who have for various reasons been given extra time to have had appeal cases pending. This will leave only the 1918 registrants remaining. Delinquents Go To Funston The following delinquents were sent to camp Finston from the 17th ward Wednesday night: Wm. Shakespeare, John Spurlin, Leon Vaughn, Alfred Pitts, John Williams, King Bolden, Wilkens, Brown, Charlie Turrill, Carter Baker and Wm. Jackson.

DRAFTED MEN WHO FAIL TO RE PORT FOR SERVICE CLASSED AS DESERTERS Crowder Rules Violators Are Subject To Trial by Court-Martial New regulations concerning the status of drafted men who, with intent to exude military service after the time of induction, fail to report, fail to contain or leave their contingents en route to mobilization camps, class such cases as deserters and subject to court martial. These orders were received for distribution among the local boards by the district board from Provost Marshal General Crowder. A reward of $50 and actual expenses is provided for one who delivers a willful deserter, unless the deserter is classed for special or humiliated service. No reward is provided in the latter case. The delivery of an army ally also calls for no reward. All deserters, with full and nonwillful, will be subject to a physical examination on appearance before their local boards, the order stated. NEW FANS MAKE B.W. THEATRE A SUMMER RESORT Wonderful Typhoon Cooling System Draws Pure Air From Altitude of 250 Feet Above Theatre. Charles H. Turpin, propietor of the Baker, Washington Theatre, has solved the problem of making his house cool and comfortable for his patrons during hot summer nights. Sometimes Mr. Turpin installed a new cooling known as Typhoon Tubs. These are placed in a large pent house on the roof, obscured from the patrons. These fences are each 25 feet in circum- ference with 100 blades. They are run a 15 horse power motor and make two revolutions a minute. Each blah- also has independent netion. The effect is to draw pure air from a stratum of atmosphere 250 feet above the roof of the theater, shoot it down into the building with such force that it is dis- tributed throughout the place district. ARMOUR PATRIAE GIRLS The Armour Patrine Grace Hall will give their first dance at Casadee Studi- dia, 4227 West Belle, Monday, octo- mber 26. Music by McKinley Hort Aman.

Draft Notice All Males Who Have Reached The Age of 21 Since June 5, 1917, Must Register At Headquarters of Their District Draft Board This Saturday, August 24. PRICE 5 CENTS Work Wins High Praise. Army In Need of Chaplains. 8000 Nurses Are Called. Colored Man Is Placed In Charge Of Army Training Camp. Washington, D. C.—Company A, 301st Stevedore Regiment, "Somewhere in France," has been cited by Rear Admiral Wilson and General McClure for exceptionally efficient work. These Colored men loaded and cooled the immense steamship "Leviathan," formerly the "Vaterland," in fifty-six hours, making a new world's record, in competition with other stevedore detachments on the western front in France, many of which are white. A film, showing this splendid regiment at work and at play, is to be exhibited throughout the country in the leading Colored and white theaters. Colored Chaplains Needed Colored Chaplains Needed The Army is still in need of chaplains. The ultimate plan is to have one for every 1,200 officers and men. It wants a special kind of chaplain—a sturdy, upstanding, brotherly man between the ages of 21 and 45—who cares a good deal more about the welfare of soldiers than about distinctions in creeks. At Camp Zathary Taylor, near Louisville, Ky., the army is conducting a school for chaplains. The course covers five weeks and new classes are formed at about an hour of a week after the rent class is graduated. Applicants must pass the physical tests prescribed by the local draft board. While at the school the student chaplain receives free subsistence, lodging and uniform and the rays of a first class private, $33,00 per month, with mileage home at the rate of three and one half cents per mile upon the completion of his course. If appointed he takes the rank and pay of a first lieutenant of the National Army, $2,000 a year and $2,200 abroad. The next class begins August 23. Applicants should apply directly to the Adjutant General of the Army, who will furnish all necessary information. There are now about thirty-one Colored chaplains in the several branches of the Army. The Colored man is a willing factor in the war. This has been so convincingly demonstrated upon so many occasions that additional evidence is scarcely necessary. A striking case in point, however, may be noted in the journeying at his own expense from Birmingham, Ala., to Washington of Archie Neely, a stalwart young colored American, to enlist in the Army. He had been refused by the local boards at his home, but was so determined to battle for Uncle Sam that he scraped together, the necessary funds and came to Washington to see the officials of the War Department in person and tender his services. His personality was so inviting and his plea so eloquent that Neely was accepted. There wasn't a happier youngster in the land than Neely when he left the War Department with a paper authorizing him to proceed at once to Camp Meade. Colored Nurses Called Surgeon General Gorgas, of the United States Army, has called for the enrolment of 8,000 graduate nurses to enter the service at the rate of 2,000 a week. "Says he, "The Army today is growing faster than the Nurse Corps is increasing. I therefore urge upon the American Red Cross, through its agencies, to bring to the attention of the trained nurses of this country, the necessity of immediate offer of service and their enrollment in the Army Nurse Corps." With the rapid increase of Colored troops in the Arms, the necessity of larger numbers of colored nurses will be apparent. Women who desire to register and enroll for service should write to Miss Jane Delano Headquarters of The American Red Cross, (a Army Nurse Section), or apply to the Red Cross authorities. In the locality in locality in which they reside. A new community house, adjudged the best in the district, has been opened for Negro soldiers at Camp Travail San Antonio, Texas. A committee has been appointed by the War Composition on Training Camp Activities and a Colored worker has been placed in charge of the club home. Colored Man In Charge Training Camp The appointment of Lt. Grant Russell Smith, detailed in charge of the 2nd battalion, Student Army Training Camp, Howard University, in the first time in the history of the United States Army when a Colored officer has been placed in charge as commanding officer of a training camp. The full text of President's, Wilson's letter in denunciation of hunching will probably be circulated in France among the Colored soldiers.

Zion Baptist Church and that Mt.

ST JAMES NOTES Dr. Peck preached a scholarly sermon Sunday morning on "The new creation." His text was taken from I Cor. 5th chapter, 2nd verse. He likened the soul of man to an undiscovered country. The Christ is the only one who has attempted to explore it, and He is on His way. He described the death bed scene of Voltaire the most brilliant and greatest philosopher of his day, how at the end, God lay bare the soul of this great infidel, to his nurse. It was so with this country, said the speaker. God is on his way to the heart of this nation. He will break down every bar of prejudice and fling wide the gate of opportunity, finally establishing the divine principle, "The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." At the conclusion of the sermon the pastor extended the invitation as the choir sweetly sang, "Since Jesus came into my heart." Just before the pastor announced his text, Mr. Robert Moman, in a deep baritone voice, sang, Alliston's "The Lord is my light." Seeming to catch the inspiration of the author, this young artist sang his way into the hearts of his hearers, and there was a sigh of regret when the last tone died away. Mrs. Peck Honored A pleasant surprise was given Mrs. Peck in honor of her (?) birthday. The park was lighted with beautiful lighting. Patricia Girls served refreshments. Mrs. Peck was the recipient of many useful pres ents. A very pleasant evening was spent. Senior A C E League The Rally of the Pounds under the auspices of the Social Committee will end Sunday, August 25. There will be a special program, after which the roll will be called and 22 servants will report. It will be very unique. You are cordially invited to come and bring a friend. 10 cents represents a pound. Program begins at 6 p.m. The Intermediate Endeavor will hold its session at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. Dr. Peck will preach next Sunday. If you would hear an instructive spirit as well as scholarly sermon, worship at St. James next Sunday. CENTRAL BAPTIST NOTES Good services last Sunday at Central. Our pastor, Dr. George E. Stevens, filled the pulpit morning and evening. Each sermon was filled with knowledge and inspiration. In the morning message he delivered a most excellent address on "Beating the Alr." Many moistened cheeks testified to the depth of this message, and the way it was delivered. The most logical sermon of the day was the evening message, when he talked from the subject "Profit and Loss." It showed careful preparation that could not but appeal to all present. Not a single detail of the argument was left untouched. On the first Sunday-in August the congregations unanimously voted to send our pastor on a visit to Camp Funston, where he will preach to the soldiers. He will go some time in the near future. Quite an enthusiastic mass, meeting was held at the church last Tuesday night in the interest of the National Baptist Convention, which will convene in our city in September. An elaborate program is being worked out. The women of Central are preparing to entertain the women of the convention. Communication services will be observed next Sunday at 3 p.m. If you want to enjoy an hour with our young people come at 6:30 and hear the able talks on "Woman's Part in Home Missions." Pastor Stevens will speak next Sunday morning on the subject, "The Cross." Start the day right. Come to church on time. All are welcome to our services. ST. PAUL NOTES Deuteronomy 32:10. "He [guided him in a desert land, and in the waste howing wilderness; he compassed him about, he enforced for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye." Subject, "The Guilding Hand of Jehovah." A part of the life of Israel, the great law giver and prophet, is the person of Moses, the masterless worker, was discussed in a very short and effective way Sunday morning. The trying oracles and the end of his pilgrimage, on Norbe's lonely mountain was brought so vividly before the audience that the greatest prophet could almost be seen winding his way to the apex of that notable mountain there to be hold the land of promise. It was indeed a very solitary affair when looked at from imagination, and the children THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY "PORO" COLL SAINT MISS MYRTL TEACHER LESSONS RE Studio Y. W.

Nevertheless, God moves in a mysterious way. Here the pastor spoke of Joshua, the successor of Moses, and showed how God always has some one reserved to carry on the great work. The song composed by Moses was quite refreshing to our minds, as the pastor quoted from the Scripture. Great crowds are queuing to the church now during the summer months on account of the enchanting music and the shortness of the sermons. A host of young men joined the church Sunday morning and next Sunday promises to be a red-letter day. Special invitation to strangers. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. M.

James A. Var- daman has been defeated in the rice for that office in’ the recent election in that state> Cote Blease of South Cerotine; who- ji fol- jowing in-his wake, is now facing a similar defeat, The retirement from the high councilof this nation af’ this time, of such men as Blease, Vardaman.and the death of Ben Tillman, will-be a great help to this Nation in the present erisis; and moreover, it marks the paesing of thatclass of men who has never contributed anything tothe real advancement of their fel- lowman. They have ridden into office by preying upon the ignors ance,of the white constituents of their home states. ee “their constituentsthat thé white man could only~be great by keeping the Negro down, and, the farther-down he is kept, the higher the white man was’elevated, They made their ignorant brothers believe that they would be able to have the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments te the Federal Constitution repealed, and. in fact, many of the.podr whites‘in these states thought that someday the Negro would actually be their slaves again.

They werd obstructionists and not canstructionists. The country today needs men of brain; needs mencapable of grappling with big questions.” This war is making men shoy-their hands. The President of the Gnited States sure retidered a very-valuable service to thé Nation when he rebuked these worthless men.

Mr. Hunter was accompanied by his son, Ed. Dix. So often statements are made by men whom we style "aces" and privileged characters in fraternal ranks, sanctioning the advancement, to the higher and ineffable degrees, undesirable persons, who have, through chininess, allied into some of our most popular organizations. Because an individual has received the first degrees of an institution is not enough to warrant his advancement; especially is it not so when that person has such no signs of moral and mental improvement. If the 24-inch gage was placed upon those who favor the promotion of unworthy characters, the result would be that the seeming interest is prompted entirely by mercenary motives. Very few organizations, if any, that do not specifically urge and hold that members make suitable proficiency in the preceding degrees, with as much emphasis on moral progress, before they can attain to nobler things. In fact, if proper discretion was used by the investigation committees such condition would not obtain and the kind of profligacy referred to would have no place in our ranks. A. F. Granbury, recorder of Mt. Calvary Commandery of Knights Templar, is up and at his post of duty, after several days illness. The Flag Raising services at the Masonic Temple last Sunday afternoon were decididly inspiring, Crittenden Clark and Geo. Washington Lewis were the principal speakers and delivered 'speeches, punctured with patriotic fervor. Too bad that a larger number was not present to witness the occasion. Old Glory and a large Service Flag with 50 stars denoting the number of brave Masons from St. Louis who are "over there" were unfurled. Companions, where are you going Sunday afternoon? Why not go to the Royal Arch ceremonial at the Masonic Hall. A goodly number of weary pilgrims are destined to go through the wilderness. Phoenix Lodge No. 79. A. F. & A. M. has sent individual invitations to Pastmasters J. E. Anglin and E. H. Rice, to be present and assist in the degree work of that lodge. Saturday night, at the Masonic Hall, when a class of profanes will expect, if nothing happens, to behold for the first time, some of the beauties in Freemasonry. Anglin and Rice are more students of the symbolic work it is needless to say that the program will be impressive and decididly interesting. Mesdames Tillie Griffin and Allie Adams of White Temple No. 19, Jno. Jos. Reed and Winn Of Washington Lodge No 6, I. B. P. O. E. W. compose a delegation that will attend the Grand Lodge Convention of Elks which will convene in Baltimore. The delegates will leave St. Louis Saturday morning via B. A. Railway Fifteen noyces sought, protection from the Arabs of Medinah Temple of Shriners, after and adventurous an perilous journey last Sunday, over the exceedingly hot sands, Potentate Ernest has won for himself enviable praise, during his administration, for the high class and unusual manner in which he has successfully staged some big thins for Medinah Odd, how good works will bring wonderful results. The Sage of Mysteries, Past Imperial Potentate George W. McKin is to be highly complimented for the manner in which he portrayed the fidelity that should exist between Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. His review of Arabic history was vivid and much food for thought. Noble Offert served his station as oriental guide in a most capable manner, which reflected credit upon himself. With assuasive tones, he convinced the refugees that no hurt harm or danger would befall them. High Priest Broomfield, styled an artist in Capitular work, was fervent in imploring Divine blessings as the caravan journeed. The banquet was under the direct supervision of Noble Sykes, and the festal board was heavily laden with symptuous eatables. One Noble "Fluver" with an errormous appetite, was present but did not get a chance to use it. The nobles were flipped off that he would be there to "clean-up." Sir Knight L. M. McBride, general lesimo of Western Star Command- ery of Khights Templar, served in the capacity of eminent commander at tue knighting of 11 companies last Saturday night. He was as much at home there as when with L. Q. Johnson Lodore of Masons, over which he splendidly presides. LODGES MISSOURI JURISDICTION A. F. & A. M. Officers—1917-18. W. W.

LEMON JUICE IS SKIN WHITENER Cheap homs-made beauty lotion to bleach the skin white At the cost of a small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare a full quarter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin whitener and complexion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman know that lemon juice is used to bleach a darkened skin. Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any drug store and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. 'It is harmless to whiten a dark skin. 2607 Lawton Avenue. We do Repairing of all kinds, Packing, Storing and such hauling as trunks and quick trips. Moving in Exchange for Furniture.

The town is a bustling place with a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The town is known for its beautiful parks and gardens, as well as its historic buildings and architecture. The town is also known for its excellent schools and universities, as well as its many art galleries and museums. Charles Ross of Ewing and Ross will know the charm of the town, and will be delighted to see it in person. Music Is Helping To Win The War Every home should be filled with music these war times. Sanging or music armies the conditions and keeps the spirit of patriotism up to the top notch. That is what it is desirable in the U.S. Army. It takes but the mental kinks, just as the exercise on the drill ground gives the body the greatest freedom and control of its every action. One reason that the morale of the American soldier is so high is because he loves and enjoys music. I would like to serve all my prospective troops. You had better buy the next thirty days in save terms from being too high, tall and see my new player join out on the market in 1915.
