DR. DAY SPEAKS OF COLORED MEN RECEIVING HONORS
Tells of Six Getting Highest Grades at Officers' Training Camp. $2,708 Raised In Two Meetings By the Y. M. C. A.
"Six colored men out of thirty-two, received highest honors, upon graduation as officers at Camp Taylor, while only four out of 2468 white men received the same honors." This was the startling statement of Dr. John W. Day at last Sunday's Y. M. C. A. meeting. Dr. Day highly received the audience by telling of the life at Camp Taylor. But what pleased the audience most was the fact that the nine men who had pledged themselves to raise $1,800 went over the top and placed on the table $1,236 for the Y. M. C. A. So carried 'away was the audience with this achievement they quickly put in enough to make the offering for the day $1,308. On the previous Sunday, $1,400 was raised, so that the total collection for the two Sundays was $2708. This amount was in addition to what the Ladies' Teams brought in. Their collections were as follows:
Mrs. Ray Tyler $50.05, Miss Annie

MADAM DAYSE WALKER-BOOKER
"The Little Sunshine Lady" Will Deliver Her Series of Sunshine Talks on "As a Man Thinketh," in St. Louis, Beginning at the Metropolitan Zion Church, Sunday at 3 p.m.
R
Sometimes they call her the Lady Douglas, because as a lecturer, like "The Old Man Eloquent," she completely captivates her every audience, be it white or black, composed of the classes or the masses, and holds it spellbound to the last minute by her matchless gift of speech. Sometimes they call her the Sarah Bernhardt-of the race because of her wonderful work on the stage as a soul-stirring dramatist. Sometimes they call her the Joan of Arc, because, like the heroine of old, voices that would not be stilled, called her forth to battle in defense of the Colored woman, not by the sword, but by the power of her magnetic pen. But whether she expresses the beauty and good cheer and love of her soul as a lecturer, a dramatist, a writer as a worker, always they call her "The Little Sunshine Lady." Every man, woman, boy and girl in St. Louis should hear Madame Booker. She has traveled much and has learned many lessons from her travels. She has studied books and people. She has booked despair in the eye and fainted not. She has bowed before the withering blasts of disappointment and risen again with a greater determination. She

More Suits Against American Woodmen
Mrs. Susie A. Smith, a former deputy for the American Woodmen, has filed a suit against that order for two hundred and forty-six dollars which she claims is due her for services.
The success of this suit in the local courts will no doubt be the basis for a larger damage suit amounting to several thousand dollars against the order for breach of contract with Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith claims that she has been slandered and humiliated by statements from C. M. White, the Supreme Commander of Denver, and Jas. T. Bush, clerk of a local camp. It is charged also that Mr. Bush is very assumptions in his position as clerk of a camp, and he is styled by other workers as "self appointed boss."
Most of the trouble that the order is experiencing in St. Louis, Jas. T. Bush is said to be responsible.
Another Suit Threatened
A prominent physician in this city told an Argus reporter that he expected to file a suit against the order in a few days, unless they paid him for examination fees.
Since the judgment against the order in favor of J. E. Mitchell, who sped for sick benefit, many members have quit the order. Others are leaving the order almost daily.
The American Woodmen have not kept faith with the people in St. Louis and the people are resenting their actions.

THE BIBLE CHAUTAUQUA
The Bible Chanutanqua conducted by Evangelist U. S. Willis is continuing at 2719 Morgan street the building formerly occupied by the New Hope Baptist Church. He has fitted the church up with his tent pews and electric lights.
"Services are being conducted three evening during the week as follows, Tuesday, Friday and Sunday nights. 9 These special services will continue indefinitely as they are intended to be supplementary of the tent meetings held last summer at Lefflinghill and Lucas avenues. These meetings will be of special interest to the general public, as no paints will be spared to make them educational and spiritual. The sermon themes for the week are as follows: Sunday night. "Confederated Christianity of the 26th Century." The question is often asked is this the unity that Christ calls for to be manifest among his followers? Tuesday, night: "St. Louis During the Millennium." The great millennium serial is believed to be at hand. Every phase of the subject will be fully covered by the evangelist.
Friday night: "Is God Particular?" The services begin promptly at 7:30. Praunching at 8:00. It is urged that all follow these Bible
Washington, D. C., Oct. 3.—War Dept department officials state that since the Officers' Reserve Training Camp at Fort Den Moine, out of which came 639 Colored commission officers, and prior to the establishment of the training schools at Camps Taylor and Pike, 114 Colored men were commissioned as officers in infantry, 11 in cavalry and 33 in field artillery. One hundred and seven officers in infantry came out of the recent class at Camp Pike, and 33 in field artillery came out of Camp Taylor last month. The foregoing summary gives a total of 941 Colored officers graduating from the Officers' Training Schools, and these figures are exclusive of those commissioned in the Medical Reserve Corps and in special branches of the service, both over here and abroad, and the count does not embrace the officers of the National Guard and those in the original Regular Army.
American Stevedores in France Make a Record
Paris, Oct. 1.—On one day during last week American discharged 36,977 tons of cargo from ships at all the ports in France. During another day they discharged 11,438 tons at one particular port.
Both are record performances.
The War College at Washington advises that there have been registered 207 white labor companies, 200 of which were sent overseas before their organization was entirely complete. This is positive evidence that these Labor Battalions are not confined exclusively, to Colored membership, as has been intimated in some quarters. Opportunities for the entrance of competent Colored men in the Veterinary Corps are now open. Information relative to this branch of the service may be had by addressing Major Ray J. Stancelflott, Assistant Director of the Veterinary Corps, Washington, D. C.
New torracks are being built at Howard University and Atlanta University for the accommodation of the young men who are coming in from all sections of the country to take the military training along with their academic studies and for the vocational classes that will come from drafters who will be assigned there by local boards of army camp officials. The opportunities offered young Colored men through the Committee on Education and Special Training are being seized with eugnessness, and so rapidly has the demand, for this type of education grown, and so potent are the results noted, that the Government's policy of this turning out out specially trained men for its manifold needs, is meeting with universal approval and is to be continued indefinitely. By next July, it is estimated that 20,000 young Colored men will have received this training in, some of its forms.

Bayville, La. Oct. 4. Twelve sons in active service out of a family of 19 sons and one daughter is the record of R. M. Windslow. Negro Baptist preacher, conducting a Red Cross auxiliary for the Richard Parish chapter.
Born in Montgomery, Ala., 67 years ago. Windslow has been living in Louisiana for more than 15 years. Besides having contributed 12 sons to the army. Windslow owns three Liberty Bonds, and is personally interested in war work, in his community. Eight of his sons, enlisted before the passage of the draft law, while the other four were drafted. His thirteenth son is eagerly waiting for the day when he will be of age to enlist. Of those in the army four are twins and three are triplets.
Fred H. Hamlin, director of the publicity bureau of the Gulf Division of the American Red Cross, says that plans are under way for a public demonstration in honor of Windslow and the presentation of a 12-star ser fice pin to the proud father.
Windslow has received a personal letter from President Wilson compil
HAVE HELD FRONT LINE TRENCHES SINCE JULY 15
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN—Tuesday, October 1. American Negro troops, operating under direction of the French, captured Binarville, in the Argentine Forest Sector. The Negro soldiers explained "It was the first strange town they had been in." New York troops are operating in the Argonne. At the other extreme of the late Illinois units are advancing along the left bank of the Meuse and have reached the outskirts of Briouilles. Negro troops are participating in the French advance on the west side of the Argonne.
This district is giving the Americans some of the hardest fighting of the war, so far. Continuous counter attacks have been made by the invaders and some of their units have lost 30 per cent of their effectiveness.
American Negro soldiers have been in the front line trenches, repulsing German attackers, and with the advancing allies, driving the enemy out of France, since the Kaiser's ill-fated horde started its "Peace Drive" on July 15. Very little has been published distinctly referring to the deeds of our brave Colored boys; but Lincoln Eyre, special correspondent of the New York "World," has called several messages which show what the black boys from America are doing toward making the world safe for democracy. His writings usually refer to the New York contingent, yet they give a good idea of the bravery and valor of all the Colored soldiers at the front. In his message of September 28 he says: "They are sensed soldiers to whom attack and counter at attack, the crushing strain of incessant bombardment, the straitly horrors of poison gas, wholesale carnage, sleepless nights and foodless days are all in a day's work."
Not Many Better Soldiers
Col. Wm. Haywood, commander of the old 15th N. G. N., in conversation with Correspondent Eyre, said: "Since July 15, my boys have enured what the French say is the most elaborous artillery preparation. The gerrimans have ever made, all kinds of gas paymets by the thousand and every other kind of punishment the enemy had in stock. They've stood up under it all, done everything that was demanded of them—good great sometimes, too—and gone through with colors flying and spirits high. I don't believe there are many better soldiers in this war than these Negro boys. I haven't seen any." Four sergeants one corporal and eight privates of this regiment have won the War Cross.
"Million Dollar Bombardment"
In telling of some of the experiences of the Colored boys, Eyre writes: "During their first two months in line the New Yorkers had had a placid time of it. They escaped more than perfunctory shelling and their casualties were so few as to set a low water mark for even that tranquil sector. Not until the night of June 12 did they receive a real stranding at the enemy's hands. On that night the lieche launched the "million dollar rail," as the Negros call it, one of them having figured that amount as the cost of the shells used in the preparation fire. The bombardment lasted about two hours.
"The Negroes' courage under this bombardment convinced the French higher command of their soldierly ability. French officers with whom I talked were delighted with them. One told me how he himself had seen a German land torpedo explode right under the nose of two Negroes in an advanced post, bringing them under an avalanche of mud. The pair wriggled out and though both were slightly wounded remained where they were.
"Myself I should probably have made a strategic retirement to a safer spot," the Frenchman added with a smile.
Negroes Stick Tight When Germans Start "Peace Drive"
Referring to the " " large Drive started by the Germans, in July, which they thought would carry them to Paris, Eyre writes:
"At 11 p.m. French counter prep, aration fire began, to be followed by the German destructive bombardment at midnight. For four hours Krupp guns of every caliber plastered hundreds of square miles of front with high explosives, shrapnel and gas.
"Our Negroes stuck fight. Whether they were in well built dugouts or out in open trenches, they never qualified."
"Amazing Lock" with Negroes
"In the midst of the bombardment the liptenut-colonel was asked by the French whether he could establish some sort of communication with the French regiment on his right. Its wires had been cut and its position was such it was impossible to get messages back to divisional headquarters with sufficient speed. Without, even calling for volunteers, he directed half a dozen of his men to act as runners from his own P.C. to that of the French colonel. These runners were obliqued to, cover about two miles through, darkness, exposed to the demurge barrage all the way. None of them faltered, none of them failed to deliver the message entrusted to him, and none of them, by virtue of the amazing luck that has clung to the regiment was killed."
Blow Hundreds to Atoms
Blow Hundreds, to Atoms
The German infantry attacked at 4:30 in the morning. In their advanced trenches the Negroes had left only a few patrols with orders to withdraw as soon as they found themselves outnumbered. But almost every band of the trenches had been soon with dynamite and hundreds of Berbers were blown to atoms the moment they jumped into their.

French advance on the westside of the

units have lost 30 per cent of their
of resistance our Negroes waited with unshaken nerve for the foe to appear. He never did. Battered by our curtain of fire, outfitted by volleys from machine guns, tucked away in deep dugouts and brought up only when their creeping hortrace had passed by, pinically last mines explode under their feet, the Germans never got beyond the front line the Allies had deliberately abandoned before the onslaught began. By 8 a.m. their left flank had been completely checked, without the necessity of a counter attack.
An hour later the Negro unit was ordered to move to the left, where the fighting was still at its height, and a counter thrust, by our side appeared advisable. The companies were obliged to make their pay southward and their westward under shell fire almost as severe as the preparatory bombardment they had just undergone. They marched in little widely separated groups, creeping along four almost parallel roads.
"As I watched them hiking along with shells cutting capers whatever one looked," the lieutenant colloqued, "I was willing to have the war end right then and there. Well, they got through and into their new line, in immediate reserve, without a single casualty—luck again."
Luck Server Them Well
Luck Servers. Then Well
More of the same kind of good fortune followed. The enemy suddenly ceased to struggle in the sector, and so the proposed counter attack was called off. Circumstances made it imperative, however, for the Americans to go into the firing line again. For part of the battle the enemy had heaviest artillery hammering the world has seen; for four more they had stood by to repel boarders, for another four they had marched across country, still under ferrite shell fire; they were dog-tired and without food of water. Yet they moved into line without a whimper—and again luck served them well. They had an insignificant percentage of casualties, which the French troops they relieved, hiking rearward over the same path, suffered severe losses. Furthermore, the sector rapidly became so quiet rations and supplies were brought up on the same night.
The sector did not remain quiet long, of course. Next day, in fact, it waked to brisk activity, for the French had already begun the series of little rushes in which they drove the foe back to his line of departure—that is, out of the advanced trench elements he had been permitted to occupy temporarily.

FREDERICKTOWN, MO.
By Hampton W. James
Rev. and T. M. A. Head have returned to their home in Calro, Ill. ..... Mr. Frank Villars, his wife and mother, served Mr. Tob Craik and wire of Castern, worshipped at Bishan Hayes Sunday. Rev. King wi Gethor was on Sunday and unable to be present at his evening service. We hope that he shall regain his full strength so that he may put on the finishing touches of a successful conference year. He leaves for St. Louis Tuesday to meet the Annual Conference which convenes at Quinn Chapel. We hope for his return that he may continue his good work for the Master..
...The communion services were a soul treat at Bishop Haven. Rev Jno. H. McAllister of Farmington officiated. He is a great preacher. Laughter and tears were the result of his sermon, which was preached from the text: "This do in remembrance of me." Little Miss Susanna Bryant, daughter of Mrs. Georgia Bryant, was received into the church and baptized. A beautiful feature of the service was a choir composed of members from the three churches, and it is a magnificent tribute of their Christian attitude toward each other. Mrs. Ida Parks of Salline Baptist Church was organized. Revs. McAllister and James were served to a very toothsome dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Barly Smith Sunday afternoon. ...We notice by the public press that a Negro has been appointed war correspondent, that another has been made bishop in America, that the U.S. Government has made Negro doctors call physicians, and that it has lent a Negro republic $4,000,000. Remarkable!
Steady, Ethiopia. Stretch forth thy hand;
Before thee lies still the promised land.

It isn't possible for us to do the same thing here? I make an appeal to my readers to let us in Champaign wake up and be among the other progressives towns in the United States. Let us lay aside our jealousies and petty differences and organize an organization that we can demand and get just what is due us in the right way. Don't you think that it is time for us in this lightened community to get abreast of the times? I hope you will give this due consideration and act.

Paralysis Cured
Hunnewell, Shilby Co., Mo., Dec. 29, 1885.—This is to certify that I have used Dr. Thurman's Embroction with the greatest results. I do say without the fear of contradiction, that it is the best remedy for all bodily pains and aches that I ever heard of. I have been an invalid for 18 years, with spinal affection. One year ago last spring I became paralyzed from my hips down, and last February I became entirely helpless. From that time until the latter part of July I could not move my feet or limbs without help. Then I began using Dr. Thurman's Embroication, in connection with The New Discovery Blood and Liver Tablets. Within two weeks I was able to move my limbs without help, within one month. I could walk with crutches and now I can walk without them. I do think it was a God-send for me that I used 75 of the dollar bottles, using one bottle a day until I used three dozen. I took it three times a day and the tablet twice a week, bathing freely with clear Embroication, and I feel very thankful that I got relief that cheap. Before I was blessed with using your Embroication I expended hundreds of dollars for other medicines.
I am 46 years old, and pray God may spare you many years to establish Embrocation for suffering humanity.
With respect, I am, ever your friend.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR
called hair large number than per under people faith in all BLEACH YOUR DARK SKIN
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 Quinasep, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp, about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasep. Quinasep is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a theor-ough cleaner. Quinasep 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 insult on 'getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinaseap, making for them by the full name.' Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not clock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or email us at the price and we will mail them to you.

"The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heavens to give the rain unto the land in his season and to bless all the work of thine hand; and thou shall lend unto many nations. And unto them Deut. 28:12, was the text announced by Dr. Peck last, Sunday morning; theme; "National Obligations and Opportunities." 1. Obligation and opportunity presented in supplying food for the Allies. The pastor commented the Negro for seizing the opportunity to prove himself an important economical factor which up in the scale of the world's great contributors at this hour. He is sowing seed to help this nation fulfill its obligations. 2. Obligation and opportunity to lend money to the Allies." The nation is asked to lend $60,000,000, $60.00 to every citizen. It is assuming the financial burden of the world, and in the end will dictate the world's affairs.
Aside from the financial saline, the greatest fruits of this war shall be spiritual, such as a readjustment of internal relations of race with race. "We should be proud today," said the pastor, "to know that in a little more than a half century removed from bondage we are called upon to help the richest nation in the world. We shall be stronger than ever when this war ends if we keep our God's law and obey his commandments. It was a great patriotic message in keeping with the launching of the Fourth Liberty Loan.
At 7:20 almost every seat was taken to listen to the program arranged by the Patriotic League. Girls under the leadership of Miss Marguerite Stewart, one of the brightest stars in St. James. Miss Stewart is a great leader, has a wonderful influence over the young girls and is doing a phenomenal work in her own quiet, unassuming way.

ST. PAUL A. M. E. NOTES...
Owing to the illness of our pastor,
Dr. W. E. Johnson, Rev. P. W. Thurman was with us all day, and the congregation was well fed from a spiritual point of view.
Rev. Thurman, in speaking of the dollar money, urged the members to do their whole duty. Bro. Stanley is looking after the work in a general way during the pastor's illness and is urging the leaders to visit each member in the interest of conference claims.
Sunday is Harvest Home day and the public is invited to worship with us all day. Be sure and bring your friends to our Annual Harvest Home Dinner Monday, Oct.-7th, at St. Paul Church, if you wish to enjoy an old-fashioned home cooked dinner. Remember that Sunday is the last Sunday between now and the Annual Conference so each member will see his leader-Sunday.
It is earnestly hoped that the pastor will be able to grace the pulpit Sunday morning; even if he is not able to preach, as his very presence will mean so much to the service and will add both spiritually and materially to the success of our special effort. Strangers are cordially invited.

A SOLDIER'S VIEW OF THE NEGRO AND THE WAR
Achieved this business, we proceed into this business, the business of war; the devastation of property, the destruction of human lives. Many questions have been asked as to what part our race is to play in this conflict, whether it will be for the better or the worst for our people. To try to answer such questions, at the present time, would be a vain attempt but it is up to us to grap this opportunity and show the world who we are and to what extent we love our dear America.
If an investor wants to receive a large dividend, it, is necessary for him to invest a large sum. The same holds true with us; if we desire great rewards from this war, it is necessary for us to make great investments, for as we have said our reward will be in proportion to our investment. No doubt we are expecting after this war has been won, to receive along with our countrymen the same privileges and more rights than we have had.
From the Revolutionary War to the present day men of our race have fought and are fighting as soldiers to uphold the standards of Democracy. They have left their homes, mothers, wives and sweethearts and have even made the supreme sacrifice, that of giving their lives, all hoping that the people whom they represented would be more comfortable. Some have died some have returned home, as I am expecting to do after all this sacrifice, what is it to mean to be? Will it better our condition? Thinking of what may come after this bombastic conflict, let us take the motto of greatly known and dearly loved. Abraham Lincoln "I will prepare; maybe some day my chance will come."

OVER THERE
Over across the sea our boys are gone.
They are fighting for Liberty
And to bring Old Glory home,
We are doing our might;
We are asking God in our prayers
Before we go to bed each night.
To help the boys over there.
Some of them are at the front.
Others are being trained:
We should not regret taking a Liberty Bond.
They have answered to the call.
And now they are doing their might.
They are going to stand like a wall.
Tilievery man has equal rights.
We should aid the Y. M. C. A.
Give to the Red Cross all we can
spare;
We hope to see the result some day
by helping the boys over there.
We give justice to everyone.
When they return we can greet them
with joy.
And say God has heard our prayer,
For these are some of the boys
We helped over there.
—By A. Bohd, 2819 Market.
Stop! Look! Listen!

HONEST ADVERTISING PAYS
I want to say that the Steger Line of Pianos have been sold to over 250 people of this age by me, and eighty-five per cent of my business is in high class players, and mostly in good terms. I now the steadily increasing business to progressive and educational advertising.
Do you really believe that a dealer can continually sell real, and I mean real $750.00 Player Pianos for $450.00, and continue in business? A Player Piano that sells for $750.00 should cost the dealer considerably more than $400.00 or it is not a $750.00 Player Piano.
Our line of Player Pianos are sold to to everybody, and they are easy to play. I can, and, I am giving better terms, than any other dealer in the city. If you side track me, you pay the penalty. Call and see the line up for Fall and Holidays. Call Bomont 1792 W.

POSITIONS THAT WOMEN CAN FILL
War Labor Policies Board Lists' Many Lines of Work That Offer Good Opportunities
Among the jobs for which women are particularly adapted the following are listed by the War Labor Policies Board:
Clerical and cashier service, accounting in manufacturing, mercantile and financial establishments and in the offices of transportation companies and other public utilities, sales clerks and floor walkers in mercantile establishments, including department stores, specialty stores, shoe stores, men's furnishing stores, florist shops, jewelry stores, drug stores, and soda-fountains.
On the other hand, the Board takes a strong position against the employment of women in places where they are likely to suffer physically or morally, as for example, barrooms, poolrooms, in or about mines, smelters and quarries, or on furniture work, in glass works. Girls under 21 years of age should not be employed for messenger service, as bell boys in hotels or clubs, caterers, boatmen and elevated transportation service. The recruiting of mothers of young children for war industries is to be discouraged.
Mrs. Grace Craig, 1903 Cross street;
Alton, Ill., has finished the course in

ANDREW WRIGHT
Andrew Wright, for sixteen years employee of the Scullin Steel Plant, and for many years foreman at that plant, proved himself a first class Y. M. C. A. man when at the Y. M. C. A. meeting of Sunday, the 22nd, he reported a check of $300 from the Scullin Steel Plant. This check was given on the solicitation of, Mr. Wright. While it evidences the deep interest which the Scullin Company has in its employees it also shows the confidence it has in the Y. M. C. A. On Sunday the 29th, Mr. Wright reported a check of $30 from the American Brake Co. This speaks well for our men who remain in their places of employment until they have won the confidence of their employers.
Another gift of $330 was reported to the Y. M. C. A. from the Laggett & Myers Tobacco Factory. This was secured through Mr. J. L. Phillips, one of the trusted employees, of that company.
The above gifts along with the $5,000 gift from the Pullman Co., show how the employers of large firms, appreciate the value of the Y. M. C. A. to employed men.
