REVIEW OF THE DR. BUNDY CASE Attorneys For East St. Louis Dentist, and Leading Citizens Of the Country Reply To the Charges Made by The N.A.A.C.P. Don't Let The Son Go Down VOL. VII. NO. 24 To Lovers of Truth and Fair Play We the Undertaken Send Greetings It is notoriously true and is a fact known to all men that American black folks have been ruthlessly, frightfully and unjustly oppressed, attacked, injured and hindered on their way upward and in all their soul-strivings to achieve equal human rights in the American body politic from the day of Emancipation until now. As a phase of this unrelenting persecution the East St. Louis mob violence broke in upon July 1917, with all its fury and appalling horrors, when hundreds of our people were killed, others made homeless by the destruction of thousands of dollars' worth of property at the hands of the mob. In the name of law and order and for the so-called prosecution of criminals a new phase of this old time hatred appears and seeks to prosecute the surviving innocent Negroes of the East St. Louis riot, of whom Dr. Bundy one. In this trying hour the N. A. A. C. P. through its leaders came for ward in its good offices and undertook to aid in the defense of Dr. Leroy N Bundy and the defense, and help of many Negro sufferers at the hands of that mob and for this purpose collected much money from a generous and humanity loving public. Now while it is yet dark and uncertain as to the fate of Dr. Bundy comes this N. A. A. C. P., through the columna of the Crisis of September, 1918 and in a broadly circulated letter signed by Messrs. Chas, H. Studin, Attorney and John R. Shillady, Secretary at the N. A. A. C. P., anouncing the withdrawal of the N. A. A. C. P. from participation in the defense of Dr. Bundy, and in this announcement making certain, damaging reflections and insinuations, capable of doing Dr. Bundy's cause and the sacred cause of the Negro people, great injury. This statement and action of the N. A. A. C. P. at this untimely moment and stage of the Bundy defense if left unreviewed and unchallenged is calculated to de great harm and much mischief to the cause of Dr. Bundy and the cause of the Negro Race in America. However honorably incited this statement may have been, the facts in the case, deliberately considered, show clearly to our minds that it was misguided and unjustified. Messrs. Studio, and Shillady, speaking for the N. A. A. C. P., allege the following reasons for their action which reasons when properly reviewed and restated in the light of facts prove conclusively to the fair minded man that these gentlemen are woofely misguided, particularly so if their hearts are right. Their alleged reasons are as follows: 1. That the St. Louis Branch N. A. A. C. P. owing to departures by Dr. Buhdy from established arrangements recommended to them that the N. A. A. C. P. withdrew from the defense. Upon this point the undersigned wish to say that Dr. Bundy is in possession of telegrams and answers sent to representatives of the N. A. A. C. P. calling attention to a difference of opinion arising between him and members of the St. Louis Branch N. A. A. C. P. as to the proper management of his case and insisting that they come to St. Louis and look into it and after repeated entreaties no representative could be induced to come. These differences of opinion grew, and Dr. Bundy, being the sufferer and interested party, felt justly that he knew better what attention his case needed than the individuals in the St. Louis Branch N. A. A. C. P. who were not fully conversed with the East St. Louis, matter, and makes clear that had the representatives of headquarters come in, he could have made it clear to them the wisdom of his contentions; but no argument which he could make at New York prevailed. In the meantime his case was on the two of being called for trial. The very nature of the circumstances forced him to act contrary to the judgment of the individuals of St. Louis Branch N. A. A. C. P. with no purpose to depart from and understanding. The under-signed are convinced that Dr. Bundy was wise and correct in this matter. 2. MESSA. Shillady and Studin al-lege as a second reason for their action that at Dr. Bundy's request they granted him a hearing at headquarters in New York; that at the hearing when Dr. Bundy was confronted by an attorney and a stenographer Bundy be cause suspicious that he needed an attorney and a stenographer and since he had none, refused to make a detailed statement in reply to their examination of his action, and in the latter part of their statement in the Crisis proceeds to give details of the questions of the investigation and alleged answers thereto. Dr. Bundy testifies that some of these questions and answers are correctly stated, others are abridged or added to so as to convey a meaning prejudicial to him and satisfactory to them, but in the main misrepresenting him to the public. But setting aside the claim of Dr. Bundy on this point, leaving it to stand as the word of one party against another, we claim that the admitted examination is both an insult and an offense to Dr. Bundy and an interested public. The fact is that the questions which they claim to have asked Dr. Bundy seem to be entirely outside of their authority over him and had nothing to do with any urgent effort to defend his case. They mean I have forgotten entirely Dr. all the division to New York, which Babylon their own claim to explain and be that the disagreements between Babylon and the St. Louis Branch of the defense of his case. The St. Louis Argus that from the meeting and well authenticated facts in the Bundy case, they drew certain conclusions which they proceed to encourage in their statement and which are worthy of attention. 1. That the N. A. A. C. P, had employed for Dr. Bundy's defense competent and sufficient attorneys to defend him when his case came to trial. That two or three of these attorneys spoken of were employed is not denied but that they were ready for trial when the case was called was explicitly disproven, for the attorneys themselves whose names are hereto attached, say that they had been employed and the terms of employment as regarding the retaining fee and not been complied with by the Association and on the eve of the trial they notified Dr. Bundy that because of the lack of compliance by the N. A. A. C. P., they would not serve. These attorneys themselves say that owing to the ramification of this case, their legal force was not sufficient and that they absolutely needed additional attorneys for good and sufficient reasons, and that everybody concerned had been informed by them. This latter statement fully corroborates Dr Bundy's contention that he had to employ additional counsel. 2. It is claimed that the N: A. A. C. P. has already paid $1,500.00 as attorneys' fees to the retained lawyers for Dr. Bundy's defense. It is now conclusively shown to the undersigned that this is a very misleading statement; that although these attorneys had been engaged, they were not available and would not serve because they had not received, on the eve of the trial, this very $1,500.00, and, although the Bundy families personally and through their friends had before this time raised and paid into the hands of the St. Louis Branch, more than $1,300.00 for this purpose, and the Association finally made up the balance and paid the $1,500.00. This in itself was greatly embarrassing in the preparation of the defense. 3. Again they state, that all professional assistance required for Dr. Bundy's trial had been provided to the N. A. A. C. P. and that funds necessary for the defense of the case could be collected by the Association. The lawyers already employed state that the professional assistance required was inadequate. The lawyers and Dr. Bundy state that the funds needed for the preparation of the case for the case had been had for the N. A. C. P., because in the preparation of the case money, was needed for other purposes than mere retainer fees. 4. They allege that since Dr. Bundy has been released on bail he has been collecting funds to pay additional lawyers. They neglect to say, however how Dr. Bundy obtained bail and the change of venue, and that they provided no money for costs incident to the securing his release on bail; although money was, needed and they were duly notified, by the attorneys that for this phase of the case, there was financial need. Part of this had to be met after Dr. Bundy's release and in addition, in order to get the lawyers to continue in the case. Dr. Bundy had to raise funds to pay obligations which the N. A. A. C. P. had contracted but which they had neglected to pay. 5. They state an objection to the employment of additional attorneys in the case because it was the judgment of the association that no further assistance was needed. The lawyers retained and Dr. Bundy state that they know better; that additional lawyers were needed; that the opposition had not less than five attorneys, each serving on different phases. 6. They allege that Dr. Bundy has used at least a part of the funds collected for his own support. In reply to this Dr. Bundy states that he can not travel over the country without using a part of the funds in band for legitimate expenses and in much as his energy and time were devoted to this purpose, the committee sees no just cause for criticism, for many of his friends intended this, they having contributed with that directly in view. 7. They claim that Dr. Bundy declines to account for funds which have been contributed to him. This Dr. Bundy absolutely denies but states that he was under no obligation to account to the N. A. A. C. P; that he was 'operating under different auspices and accounts; to them for all money collected, which statement we find to be correct. Considering the case as a whole, both as stated by the officials of the N. A. A. C. P, by the counsel retained, by Dr. Bundy and his associates in St Louis, who testify to us we exceedingly regret that the officials of the N. A. A. C. P, were misguided and withdrew from the case, for we feel that the case is not an individual matter, involving as it does the interest and feelings of the whole whole people; that having undertaken to assist in the defense in the name of a great Race, the N. A. A. C. P was not justified in dropping the interest of the people, because of a personal difference as to methods in reaching the desired end. We are also persuaded that the needs in this case justify the course of Dr. Bundy and that, he has in no sense violated good proprietius and is worthy of the confidence of his Race and the general public and we appeal to the lovers of fair play and justice to support him through his trial.

Paris, Sept. 7. —During the recent American advance out of Chateau-Thierry a red Cross captain was looking about for suitable hospital sites when he met an American Negro soldier marching along toward Chateau-Thierry, following closely behind a German Major. The Negro had transferred his pack from his own back to the back of the German officer and had also transferred red, the German Major's monocle to his own eye. Thus equipped, the black warrior was parading triumphantly down the road. As he passed the Red Cross captain, he called: "I say, look here what this nigger done got." —Post-Dispatch. REV. J. K.

John Sneed. U. S. GOVERNMENT ORENS A BRANCH EMPLOYMENT OFFICE U. S. GOVERNMENT ORENS A BRANCH EMPLOYMENT OFFICE Colored Examiners in Charge at 2313 Market St. As a result of the recent visit of Dr. Joe, P. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics, U. S. Department of Labor, and that of Mr. Correster B. Washington, Supervisor, U. S. Department of Labor, a branch office of the U. S. Employment Service has been established at 2313 Market St., with Paul W. Moseley and B. F. Bowles as examiners, in charge. This office will be more convenient, in the main, to both Colored recruiters and Colored people seeking employment than the central office down town but it will perform all of the functions of the central office. Here workers are being "signed out" for the government plants and other plants holding war contracts, workers are being supplied to local employers in various lines, and skilled workers are being registered for future calls. The office will exert a decided upward pull in the industrial condition of the Colored people. The new office is under the immediate supervision of Mr. J. N. Breen, Assistant State Director, U. S. Employment Service, who is in charge of the St. Louis industrial district, and the work is fostered by an advisory committee composed of twenty-three leading citizens, broadly representing various professions, organizations and industrial activities. The executive committee of the advisory committee is as follows: Rev. W. H. Peck, D.D., chairman, Dr. W. P. Curtis, J. B. Velar, Officer Ira Cooper, and Miss Sara C. Young. A. E. Malone Heads Republican Auxiliary A. E. MALONE A. E. MALONE Ch. Republican State Auxiliary The Executive Committee of the State Republican Committee at a recent meeting, unanimously elected Mr. Aaron E. Malone chairman of the Auxiliary State. Committee - While Mr. Malone has not been active in politics, nor has he inspired for political preferment in the past, but his business, social and activity in one general welfare of the Negroes in this state makes him the logical man for the place. Mr. Malone, aside from being chairman of this committee is president of the local Negro Business League, and is credited with having rendered very valuable service in bringing the national body to St. Louis next year. He is also president of Pose College Co., whose annual business runs above the $256,000 mark. He is well acquainted throughout the state, and the success of the work of the Auxiliary is conceded by all who know him.

ARMY KILLS COLORED CHAUFFUER Driver for Richard Kent, Shot Three Times by Desperado so He Can Have Car to go Joy Riding Miles Mitchell, chauffer for Richard Kent, 2319 Chestnut St., was shot five times and killed Wednesday night at 7 o'clock by a white deserter from the army by the name of Asbury. Mitchell was called to 28th and Olive at 6 p.m. and there picked up Asbury and another man named Strufe. He was driving with them toward the county and when the car reached a point of Hanley road, just off of Page, he was shot in the back three times, one bullet piercing his heart. The men were arrested by a policeman after they had an accident which damaged the car several hundred dollars. Mitchell's body was found by policeman and a St. Louis County deputy, who were guided by the slayer in the search. In his confession Asbury said he deserted from Camp Bodge about two months ago. Strufe he said, was a chance acquaintance whom he met after deserting and who came to St. Louis with him. They have been stopping at the Portland Hotel near Union Station. "We wanted to go for the chauffeur and use the ear for a jersey," said Valorie. "Struffa was on the front seat with him and Kate on the back seat. I opened up and fired five shots at the Neighbour from behind. He jumped out of the car and I fired at him again and he fell. Then we were kicked in the knees and parked in a couple of girls and had a good time driving around on the country. We ditched the girls and started back to St. Louis." Mitchell would have been 21 years old next month and lived at 2345 street. Parade and Meeting Planned by Colored People for Sunday, October 6.

CHAIRMAN HAYS ON LYNCHING Under the head of "Some Suggerations in Connection With this, Work Before Us," Will H. Hays, Chairman Republican National Committee, in speaking of lynchings says: "Lynching, under any circumstances or conditions, is a crime. It is a crime against judgment and justice, reason and righteousness. It is an affair to the accumulated wisdom of past ages. It is a a condensation of Christianity. To resort to it can be justified on no grounds. It merits, the exorcism and detention of every high-minded citizen, and must be forever prevented in this country."

Washington, D.C., Sept. 15, 1984 Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, announces: The War Department has worked and a highly comprehensive system of mental and manual training for the young Col- ored men who have been called into the United States Army, or who are likely to be called through the new selective doff law. The educational systems have been adopted to increase the effi- ficiency of the manpower of the military service. The first is the Training Detachment, or Vocational Section, which has al- ready proven its value as an agency for the betterment of the embryo soldier- through the nearly 3,000 that have been turned out as skilled workers in more technical branches, all of which tend to improve their chances for use- fulness and adjuement in the army and qualify them for livelihood after the war. Some of the subjects emba- rished in the courses offered at the schools set apart for this vocational training are: radio, or wireless teleg- raphy, electricity, auto-machi- ness, truck drivers, blacksmithing, wheelwrighting, carpentry, bench wood-working, cobbling, concrete work- ing, horse shooring, pipe fitting fete. In a number of the leading Colored colleges of the land provision has been made for the establishment of units of the Student Army Training Corps. Students of these schools enter in the usual way, subject to the regulations of the individual institutions as for the educational and other qualifications. If above eighteen years of age and registered with his local board, the materialian may apply for voluntary, induction into the military service of the nation, the privilege beginning on or about October 1st. They will receive $30.00 per month subsistence, housing, uniform and equipment, and their tuition will be paid by the government. Graded by proficiency, the student may later be assigned to duty either by transfer to an officer's training or to continue his school in the science studies in the school where he is, or to a non commissioned officer's training school, or will be transferred to a environment for duty as a private. Nearly all schools of any prominence in the country has been enlisted for the work of training these Young Colored men.

LOUIS BOYS SENT TO FUNSTON FRIDAY Friday morning at 9:15 for Camp Funston. These were mostly 21 year old, June 5, registrants. A few were clean up clean-ups from 1917 and less than twenty were taken from the August 24 class to fill up ward quotas. The total number charged up to St. Louis was 414 but several of the men were in other parts of the country when called and were ordered to proceed to camp. Crowd Sees Boys Of A big crowd, with considerable more seriousness than heretofore noticeable, saw the young fellows leave Friday morning. The Seventeenth ward boys were escorted to the station by the Boosters Club and a band. The Nineteenth also had a band, led by Jake McAfee. The Argus published all the names last week except the Twenty third ward, which sent twenty, but did not receive the order until late in the week. Their names were: Wm. D. Eulbe, 914 N. 22.

The order is for 10,750 Colored men to be sent to army camps. Raising an estimate on paid call, St. Louis' quota will be less than 150 or about 146. In the call for 2016 for Friday, this week, St. Louis was ordered to furnish 955. The actual number sent was more than 400 but this was due to the clean- ing up of several appeal cases from the 1917 class. The real quotas were based on the June 5, 1918 clues. There are just about enough boys left on the Aug. 23 class to fill a call of not over 150. In six of the 28 St. James wards, the 5th, 6th, 18th, 17th, 18th and 24th there are 123 men left. The other two will be combined on probably enough men to fill the required pupil. There is little doubt, how ever, but that there will be a call for the lathter part of October, which will necessarily mean September 12 regis. This may be a big loss. Plans to Make All Calls From Class 1 Protect Marshall General Crawder has easily indicated that it is not the War Department's intention to call men in deferred classes for military service, and that, with the large number of single men now registered, it may never be necessary to do so. Questionnaires All Sent Out The questionnaires will all have been sent out to men between 32 and 35, and men under 21 by next Monday. These men be returned within seven days fully answered. All registrants who are in doubt about any questions asked, or who are unable to fill out the pamphlet properly should go to their local draft boards for information at large. Attention: Bemont 1452. Questionnaires to Older Men Soon It is expected an order will soon be issued to the men boards to send questionnaires to the remainder of the Sept. 12 registrants, if for no other reason than to make an industrial season of all workers of draft. QUESTIONNAIRE CAUSES SHOOTING QUESTIONNAIRE CAUSES SHOOTING Mrs. Elise Carter, daughter of Mrs. Tom Turpin, 2333a Market Street, was shot two times and probably fatally wounded Tuesday at 8:15 a.m. by her husband, Edward Carter, a saloon keeper at 2727 Walnut. Mrs. Carter had been to the telephone in her stop-father's saloon, down stairs, and met her husband, in the front of the place, who requested her to sign the dependency affidavit by his questionnaire. Being separated from him, she refused. The shooting resulted. Mrs. Carter was wounded in the left side of the face and one ball entered her left shoulder and ranged downward in her spine and causing paraplegia. Carter petered out, an automobile and drove to Brooklyn, Ill., where he held up his former partner in a saloon there. He was arrested inter at 1591a Chestnut, in a drunken stupur, by Officer Ferd Waller.

JAMES CHURCH "Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house, and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeded upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime." Daniel 6 chap. 10 verse was the text announced by Pastor Peek last Sunday morning. Theme: "The Cultivation of Prayer." In portraying the beautiful life and character of Daniel, the pastor clearly demonstrated the danger with which promotion is fraught and how it causes jealousy and intolerance. Daniel had reached a great point on his life: he stood the test. His prayer and power because he prayed regularly. He knew just how to approach his Heavenly Father because he talked with Him three times a day. Dr. Peek made a striking comparison between the prayer of Sarson and the prayer of St. Stephen. Our prayed for revenge, the other for forgiveness. Centuries had passed and a blessed Christ had died to save men from their sins. The soloist of the morning was Mrs. Grace Davis, who sweetly sang, "O, Light Eternal." At eight o'clock the pastor preached from Hab. II Chap. 2-13 verses, Theme, "Unanswered Prayer." Patriotic Night There will be a special program rendered next Sunday night Sept. 29th arranged by the Patriotic League Girls, in honor of those who have recently entered the service. You are cordially invited to be present. Preaching at eleven o'clock by the pastor. A special welcome to strangers and visitors. Rex N. L. Smith, the able pastor, is closing out his third year with great success. Next month he will meet the annual conference and submit his report. He is much loved by the people—not only his numbers, but all with whom he coexists in contact. Many souls have been converted and scores of members added to the church. Every department of the church is spiritually alive, and are striving hard to raise all claims for the coming session of the annual conference. In the last financial effort on the second Sunday in September, the "Willing Workers Club," under the leadership of Mrs. Curtis Mannings, president and Mrs. E. Caviness, secretary, raised the largest amount. All the officers and members bow to them as an expression of praise for the heroic work in doubling their assessment. Large crowds are in attendance at every service or Sunday, to hear Dr. Smith's great gospel sermons. Sunday the pastor will preach at the morning and evening services. Mme. Lillian Hawkins Jones will sing also. You are urged to be on time, services begin promptly at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Remember the flag raising at 3:30 p.m. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH 2728. Pine St. Rev. S. A. Mosley, Pastor The great National Baptist Convention is now a matter of history. It was through the efforts of our Pastor and Dr. J. K. Parker that the Convention came to this city. The above church was headquarters for this great body and it was conceded by all that this was the greatest session: ever held in its 38 years of existence. Our church is in a most prosperous condition. The auditorium is taxed for room to seat the people at all of the services. We had launched a great $3,000 Rally the week the convention came to our city and we were forced therefore to lay it aside and take hold of the entertainment of our distinguished visitors. The following week, after the adjournment of the convention, the pastor called his force on the field to raise the amount and on Sunday the 14th inst., $3,985.00 was laid on the table. Never did a people respond more, willingly or loyally than did the adjournment of the convention; we have been trying to get our pastor to take a much needed rest but claims that he hasn't time to rest but must begin on his tour of the entire west for the Western Convention, of which he is President. He will close his trip by attending the State Convention in Arkansas in November. This state is where he spent the better part of his life and he was largely instrumental in making this convention what it is today. We are proud to have such a strong, earnest, Christian gentleman as a pastor and Tabernacle has grown wonderful in all of its departments since his pastorate. A very prominent church has called him to their pulpit in the east, but he says that "nothing moves him but the Holy Spirit." The pastor's wife, Mrs. S. A. Moseley, who has been visiting her mother in Virginia for the past two months, will return to the city this week. We will be glad to welcome her home and to her work in the church where she has been greatly missed. We must say one more in commendation of the choir of our church. Under the splendid leadership of Prof. Robert Austin it is second to none in the city. If you want to get your spiritual strength renewed come and hear our choir, sing these Jubilee melodies. Our church is daily growing in numbers. Many God bless our dear pastor and may he, live long to carry on the good work. MT.

BADGES, SEALS, STAMP STENCILS & METAL CHECKS TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasop. Quinasop is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasop lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but in sire, on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his whaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

The magnet on her onward march is drawing Not that we feel that those honored by being allowed to have club in France, but we are pleased they are fading away. J. E.

KING Associates New York office, Front & Front, 23, East 20th Street, Chicago o'ree, Front & Front, Boyce Building Atlanta office, Front & Front, Chandler Building, Nashville office, Front & Front, Independent Lif Building. The incident which took place at the Lafayette Club, somewhere in France, a few days ago, when two Negro Lieutenants, United States Officers, entered the Club and seated themselves at a table, furnishes some food for thought. It was from hour, the hour, when the natural appetite suggests the finding a place to eat. No doubt, those Negro officers were hangy; and we dare say they were not merely looking for a place to associate with the white officers, and perhaps the social side, other than each other had not entered their minds. But consternation followed; the "Monster Prejudice" asserted itself and for a moment it seemed that every white officer was ready to walk out, but "the democracy of khaki covered them all." If a democracy comes out of this war that will enable the Colored man to get a morsel to eat, or a little refreshments when thirsty, at the places where all other races freely enjoy in the United States, then we shall all feel that the Democracy for which Our boys are freely fighting, is truly a Democracy for all the people. Not that we feel that those two. Colored officers were highly honored by being allowed to have a morsel to eat at an exclusive club in France, but we are pleased to know that the lines of prejudice are fading away.

The loan they say, they will repeat the record and doubled the bonds—LIBERTY BELL—Sept. 28. A loan of five million dollars recently made by the United States to the Republic of Liberia has attracted attention as a substantial recognition of the only Negro republic. The Colored citizens of our own country have received more public recognition since the great war started than at any period since their emancipation. Only a few days ago General Pershing, in an address to Negro officers, recalled the fact with pride that he had commanded a battalion of Colored troops, part of the Tenth U.S. Cavalry, in our war with Spain. Licut, Gen. Robert L. Bullard, who led the First Division of Pershing's forces in the first big American fight in France—the battle of Cantigry—and who is now in command of our Second Army Corps, was at the hold of a Colored regiment in the Spanish-American war and is proud of the "Smoked Yankets," as they are known in the army. No one has ever questioned the bravery or loyalty of the American Negro soldier. He is a game fighter of great endurance, and will go any length for his commander. He fairly revels in bayonet fighting; in fact, he likes it as much as the Hun dislikes it, and in this line of work particularly we will find that the Colored boys will shine when the stories of their divisions in France are written. In the army behind the army the Colored folks are proving their devotion to country no less than in the trenches. They have subscribed liberally of their means for the various war funds. As an illustration, there are several hundred Negro workmen employed on the United Railways of St. Louis, and in the Third Liberty Loan they went over the top for 100 per cent subscriptions. For the Fourth Loan, they say, they will repeat the record and double their purchases of bonds—LIBERTY BELL—Sept. 28. I received yesterday a letter of your paper and I want to say that it was the most interesting thing that I’ve seen since bearing the states. One can appreciate a word from home to a greater degree when he is a long way away. I would like to appeal through your columns to the folks at home to write more often to the boys over here. I would list for the mothers, wives and sweethearts to see how the faces of the men gladden when their name is called for mail. It keeps up the morale and nothing is more important in this game.

The services were of a highly spiritual and educational nature. He thoroughly instructs the people from the Bible. He contends that the Bible and the Bible alone is the profession of faith for all Christians. He advocates strongly primitive Christianity and uniquely rebukes the popular evils of today indulged in by a large class of church people. It is expected that a large number of people will attend these tri-weekly meetings. The leading topics of today will be discussed such as: The present war's place in the Bible prophecy; the evidences of the near return of Jesus Christ to the earth; and the carried delusions that are captivating the church and the world. The services will begin Sunday night at eight o'clock sharp. The evangelist will preach on the Judgment.

Noble Beaumont, a member Medinah Temple of Shriners, was buried from Metropolitan Church last Sunday, with full Masonic honors. True Blue Lodge, 107 conducted the ceremonies. The competitive drill by the Knights Templar and the Arab Patrol will be a special attraction at the bazaar and mask bait, to be held at the Masonic Hall, New York. Envy is the baneful admission of self-inferiority. Think it over. Past Imperial Geo. W. McKoin, of Medinah Temple of Shriners, has been asked to visit a town on the Mexican border, where four battalions of the 24th Infantry are stationed for the purpose of instituting another Temple of Shriners into the U. S. Army. Knights Templar who are anxious of purchasing complete uniforms at a "let live" price should see Sir Knight R. C. Fisher, 2341 Market St., (The Argus Bldg.) at once. Working without a plan and without the knowledge of your executives, is like sailing without a compass. Patriotic speeches, were heard in front of the Pythian Temple last Sunday afternoon, following the annual sermon of the Uniform Rank of Pythians, which was delivered at the First Baptist Church, L. E. Hawkins and Wm H. Butler were the principal speakers at the demonstration at the Pythian Temple, where a service flag was unfurled in memory of 105 Pythians, who are rendering service to the country. The various uniform companies, under direct command of Major Butler were reviewed and presented a valiant array of well drilled men with soldiery bearing. Past Chancellor James W. Sykes was master of ceremonies, and played his part in a most creditable manner. Defent is tonic for the brave, and exerts to give endurance for a greater battle. The National Race Congress of America has issued a call for all societies of Colored people in the United States to send delegates to the next Congress October 1, 2, and 3, 1918, at the Metropolitan Wesleyan Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church D Street between Second and D. Third Streets S. W. Washington, D. C., Revi H. S. Callis, pastor. All phases of the race interest will be discussed by men who have made special study of the same. Churches, lodges, educational institutions, leagues and organizations of all kinds among our people are urged to send their registration as a unit to the Congress-before October 1, 1918. The registration fee is $2, to be sent with names and officers of organization to the headquarters, 903 Third Street N. W. Washington, D. C. The fee will entitle the organization to one delegate in the Congress. Every community in the United States should be represented this year if you value the safety of your lives and property. Now is the time to set. There will be an entertainment at the residence of Herbert L. Smith, 3450 Lawton, Saturday night, under the auspices of Ionic Chapter of Royal Arch Massons. You will do justice to your self should you go and partake of some of their hospitalities. Noble N. P. Lassiter, of 3707 Goode Ave., entertained with an informal smoker last Tuesday night, in honor of Chas. W. Blake, Eminent Grand Captain General of Prince Hall, Grand Commander of Illinois, and member of Arabic Shrine Temple No. 44, and Orcidental Consistency of Chicago. Nobles Geo. W. McKoin, J. W. Beard, Ias. Anderson, S. A. May, E. J. Victoria, Jr. Abraham Lineoln Lax and R. C. Fisher were among those present to meet and greet the visiting Son of the Desert. The social intercourse and the exhanging of fraternal ideas by the Nobles proved to have been time profitably spent. Camel's milk flowed as from a perpetual stream and served to sharpen the good fellows' intellects, as they reviewed the days of Mohammed. Each gentleman was loud in acclaiming "aliekum esahamu" "esahmu aliekum" in their wishes for Noble Blake who departed for Chicago Wednesday morning. Mr. Blake was accompanied to St. Louis by his affable and congenial wife and while here the guests of Mrs Blake's mother, Mrs. Robt. Tilor, of 1767 Goode Avenue. Unofficial reports filtering back from the fighting front in France have added the final touch of amplification to the phrase contained in a German official statement when the big drive by American troops was at its height a few weeks ago, and which noted that "black Americans" had hammered their wry gloriously through the Hun lines. It was not, though, until the battle was over, according to the unofficial version of the same fighting, that the brigade commander summoned the colonel of a Negro regiment, before him and demanded to know in interse military fashion, why that colonel had not maintained better control over his troops, and why, above everything else, he had not "stopped" his men and kept them from passing beyond their appointed objectives and, in fact, hacking their way through ahead of their own protective barrage. "Stop them!" inquired the colonel. "Stop them!" Hell, man, how could you expect me to stop them, when the whole German Army couldn't do it!" The Brigade Commander's reply is not of record, either officially, or unofficially, but the story, is only one of a thousand that is being told of the admirable dash and courage of the Americans who compose the Negro units of the expeditionary forces and which every day are out there in the thick of the fighting and holding their place in the line wherever they may be called upon to do their military bit. In: just the same-manner, the men who compose those regiments are partaking of the carefully built up welfare work that is being accomplished on both sides of the water by the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activities. In fact, they are receiving special attention, both in the camps in this country and Knights of Columbus huts in France, and the work among the Negro troops is being broadened as rapidly as the camber of the Negro troops grow, under the operation of the selective laws and by voluntary adjustment, and latter apparently being a particularly inviting method for the War LODGES MISSOURI JURIBICTION A.

Lee Last Monday, Sept. 23, this city was filled with enthusiasm, marking the beginning of the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive. A remark crudely made by a Colored man, which seems to be expressive of the general feeling, follows: "We are bending Uncle Sam some money in his hard pinch, and taking a mortgage on his vast possessions at home and abroad". Hot Springs can now be correctly called a Baptist city being full of Baptist ministers who were delegates to the two wings of the Nationals Baptist Convention which held simultaneous sessions at St. Louis and Little Rock, Sept. 4, 9... Hon Fred Havin, one of Arkansas' most useful and respected citizens, died last week at his home, Pine Bluff, Ark. He left a fortune of $100,000 to his widow and five children. Hot Springs boasts of having the most imposing and representative church owned by Colored people ideal in this country. The edifice is ideal in structure and arrangement. The spiritual aristocracy is high and appeals to the intellects of its votaries. It is nothing unusual to see large numbers of cultured white visitors to the Springs, regular upon attendance at the church services; not for mere curiosity but for spiritual and intellectual edification. This church is by name the Roonoke Baptist Church, with the scholarly and gifted Dr. J. T. Hill its pastor. Praternal organizations are having new life and prosperity is evidenced in Arkansas. The Mosaic Templars founded by Hon. J. E. Bush eight years ago, has increased its membership fifty per cent and invested $100,000 in Liberty Bonds. The Royal Circle of Friends founded by Dr. R. A. Williams six years ago has 75,000 members and invested $50,000 in Liberty Bonds. An Arkansas State Constitutional Convention adjourned here some days ago, after a session of six months during which time, not a single Negro measure was proposed for enactment into law. The war may yet bring about strange results. CAPE GIRABEAU, MO. Under Call no. 1335, seven of our boys will leave Sept. 27 for Camp Funston.

"Don't let the SON go down." uted To Winning The War LOUIS BUSINESS MEN ```markdown ``` AMERICAN troops have played a wonderful part in the recent nighting of the Marne. By the capture of the town of Seringes-st-Neales, Sergy and Ronchères beyond the Ourec they aided the French in taking Fren-er-Dardenois, the great German concentration base near the centre of the Rheims-Soissons pocket. American troops were first to cross the Ourec River, the entire northern bank of which is now held by the Allies. Lieut. Patrick Dowling of New York led the first dozen men. With him were Corpil James McGovern and Private Thomas Lyden of Brooklyn. The old 69th of New York, now the 165th, aided the Allies in crossing the river. The Americans are fighting desperately and with courage. Their capture of Sergy was brilliant, and included house-to-house fighting, in which the Yankees took terrible toll of the enemy. E.

These little puppies play man- ners struts in an aerial ballet way. They play soldiers, marching through the theatre and dance. One, a drunk, is arrested by a bartender as a policeman. A clock count in which the puke outspouses the prisoner is quite cunning. Gopher struts and playing seesaw, hurdle race, roosting in school, dances and rope swinging. Butler and Johnson two youngeraged previotators, have, considerable controversy in their line. They also sing and dance, and one has an excellent voice. They close with a receipt for patriotic song, which is good. Dave and Lilian, a mixed team, are excellent dancers. The indy's singing and dancing and the man's acrobatic soft shoe dance are both big hits. They close dancing and bubbling and get a big hand. The closing act is Wright's Hawaiian ans, four m and one woman. They are musicians, playing on native string instruments big singing native and American popular melodies. Their repertory consists of sales, shoes, trips, quartets, and quantities. All numbers strew skew applause, but the Hawaiian an dance by the woman, at the close takes the house by storm. The orchestra at the Imperial has five pieces, James H. Harris, violin, is leader withers like Marion D. Harris, piano, William B. Rose, cornet, Grant Cornet, troubadour, and J. W. Franklin. NEXT WEEK Next week's bill at the Bonner Washington Theatre will include Ed warriors and Edwards featuring "Butter Beans," Brown and White, a crack a jackater team; "Rasus," Anderson, combat science, and one other big art剧. The show promises to measure up to the good bills this popu- lar house has been booking lately and the patrons can depend upon a tour for their money. THE UNBELIEVER COMING TO THE RENDLETON The show is one that carries a won- dful prize the appeal. The brutality of the film as startlingly pured; the Marines are seen in action on the thrilla- line. Your soul will be stirred as it has never been before, and your patri The principal character of the story is Philip Lansbury, a young man of New York's wealthy Upper East Side, who is famously intimate with behind glass pride, pride and unbelief in the God of Christianity. His virtues are less than pleasant, pity for the oppressor, a fine sense of chivalry that cannot contem plate a wrong man, and the quick self-esteem of youth. These redoubling qualities are overcome by the white blood of stupefied boys, unguishied as cleansed and bound with the love of humanity which is the very essence of democracy. No one characterization makes THE LANSBURY book the most important at the time of the war. It is the emotional volume of pictures and timeless plates that it itself interests. The war story is set at the United States Marine Corps engagement at Quanton in the heart of the Marines another Honour of the Marine army in the drama. "THE UNHELLEVER," is an adaptation of "The Things That Things," a novel by Mary Ewing and Shannon An Brown and has produced by Thomas A. Kernan in cooperation with the United States Marine Corps.

Sumner High School, in the course of his highly instructive and entertaining remarks, called attention to the fact that the time was peculiarly appropriate for the Colored people to have a first class theatre on their own, and that their right to have some was in line with the principles of democracy for which the Allies were fighting in the great war. Judge Charles W. Holt, camp, of the Probate Court, included in his fine speeches some happy illusions to the equality of men forth in the Constitution of the United States and Declaration of Independence. Manager Richard D. Burrett then explained the aims of himself and associates in a clear and praenoworthy manner, and asked the Colored people of the city to stand behind him and he would see that the shown are kept up to the 'high standard of the initial program'.

Their soles were exceptionally well selected and rendered most pleasingly. Their duets revealed a harmonious blending of two perfect voices that gave their hearers a most delightfully pleasing entertainment. The act is dressed magnificently and presented in the most becoming manner. "Mary's Day Out," an unusually bright sketch written by Francis X. Coleman, was offered by Queen Do Lany, a stupefactor beauty, and Virginia Bur Dull, a petite and talented blond. It is unpleasant with flageo and has a special shame of its own. It is a playful but bourgeois, amusing and entertaining. T With Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey STUPENDOUS PHOTOPLAY of REAL WAR are an injury instead of a benefit to the sight.

The Diaz, Monks are a wonderful exhibit of animal training at its very best. It would seem that the monkey trapeze artist eclipses all trained animals seen in this city in many years, according to the expressions of old theatrogers present, who had seen about all that was to be seen in that line. Albert Donnelly, a shadowgraphist of extraordinary ability, rounded out a vaudeville bill that will not soon be forgotten by those present. The management used the same fine discernment in selection of the motion pictures as that shown in choosing the vaudeville attractions. The films were all highly diverting, especially the Fatty Arbuckle Comedy. The orchestra, under the able leadership of Mr. James K. Harris, is all that could be desired. Matliness daily will be from 3 to 5 P.M. Matinees, Sundays and holidays, two shows, 1:30 and 3:30. The opening of the Imperial Theatre, 10th and Pine Streets, with its new policy of high class vaudeville and pictures for Colored people, has been a grand success, and the excellent show met with unanimous approval. For the second week, starting Monday matinee, another splendid array of vaudeville and pictures will be provided. Heading the bill will be MeCarver and Robinson, Colored entertainers of exceptional merit. They will present a skit entitled "Just Foolin", which is replete with funny situations and good jigged humor. Harrington and Mills are also Colored people who have acquired quite a wide fame as comedians. They are described as "Two Bright Spots of Joy." "OVER THE TOP" number of canines in the stunt these little animals perform. It is a great offering for women and children especially. Frank Carmen will do some marvelous novelty hoop rolling and baton juggling. University recognized as one of the foremost portrayers of romantic Western characterizations, William S. Hart, actor and director, presents one of the finest screen portraits of his career in "Riddle Gwane," which will be the super-feature picture for the week. In "Riddle Gwane" Mr. Hart's talents have found their most adequate expression. The Official War Reviews, Animated Weekly and Comedy pictures will complete a big and meritorious program.
