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.

The St. Louis Argus 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 Mass Meeting of Soldiers' Relatives At The Y. W. C. A. Sunday, Oct. 6 at 4 p.m. the wives, mothers and other relatives of our soldiers and sailors will meet at the Y. W. C.

Because of her experience in this line of work before coming to St. Louis and having worked in one of the leading stores of this city for years, enables her to possess remarkable experience in her line and thoroughly prepared to take care of the most artistic class of work. Published In The Interest Of Colored People has grown through suffering. She has been sweetened by sorrow; she has been strengthened by failure; she has tasted the bitterness of defeat and the nectar of glorious success without losing her balance; she has been tried by the fires and has come from the crucible smiling, hopeful, helpful; she has learned to be patient with the strength of the strong "patient with the weakness of the weak." she knows life; she knows human nature; she loves her race and this is the secret of her marvelous power over her audiences. She talks from the heart direct to the heart and the message always goes home. She will fill the following dates: Sunday, Oct. 6—Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, 3 p. m., special talk to men. Subject: "If I Were a Negro Man in a Time Like This." Monday, Oct. 7, 8 p. m.—Lanes Tabernacle. Subject: "Black Ideals." Tuesday, Oct. 8, 8 p. m.—Central Baptist Church.

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. OFFICER FROM CAMP DOGGE WILL DELIVER ADDRESS Lieut Wm. R.

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. WILBERFORCE U. TO TRAIN BOYS OVER 18 YEARS [Special Telegram: The Argue] Special Telephone The Argus Wilberforce U. Oct. 4—Captain W. E. Ostermaler, commanding officer at Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, received a telegram this morning from the committee on education of the War Department establishing B section for the training of those not under 18 years of age who have completed the elementary school grades. These children will continue their school work at Government expense at a salary of $20 per month. Make application for entrance to W. A. Johner, Supt. W. A. Jolner. COLORED PASTOR CONDUCTS RED CROSS - CHAPTER Has Contributed: 12 Sons to U. 8 Army and Receives Personal Lett- ter from President Wilson Com- 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.

FRONT LINE SINCE JULY 15 IN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VER- American Negro troops, operating under Binarville, in the Argentine Forest claimed "It was the first strange town rating in the Argonne. At the other s are advancing along the left bank of the outskirts, of Brieulles. Negro French advance on the westside of the Americans some of the hardest fight- nous counter attacks have been made 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.

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. Joseph B. Mayes. Witness to the above—G. B. Sherry.

Patronize 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.

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.

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." Sgt. Haywood A. Morton, Co. B. 427 R. La, Bn. Q. M. C., Camp Merritt, N. J. 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.

This probably will be the last opportunity to express your faith in the cause of Democracy in a tame way.

Such a sight would challenge the respect and admiration of our bitterest enemy. We know it will call for some sacrifice; but think of the cause. Think how much dollar will make life more comfortable for the soldier. When we think of these things; and think of the Liberal Terms that will offered in payment of these Bonds, we must say, that the bons that cannot show a sign of a Bond after this drive is over, surely will look like a house in a "God-Forsaken Land." Duty demands that you have a Liberty Bond. DEFEAT OF WOMAN SUPPRAGE DUE TO RACE HATE In spite of President Wilspn's wish to have the Woman Suffrage Amendment become a Constitutional War-Measure, oppositionists following the traitorous banner of race hatred borne by John Sharp Williams (Willhelm) of the State of Mississippi, were victorious and the measure went down to defeat. Williams of Mississippi declared in the course of the debate that he "loved the President personally, perhaps better than any other man in the Senate," but he was unable to follow him in suffrage. "When the President says we can't lick Ludendorff, scare Bulgaria and, recompense Palestine because Nigger women in Mississippi can vote, I decline to agree with him," said Williams. Men like Williams of Mississippi, Reed of Missouri, and their miserable followers are too little to hold high places of trust either in state or national government. The spirit of race hate which seems to actuate their every pony effort units them for the big things that are required of real red blooded Americans in the present crisis. These men are so small that they cannot see the 300,000 Negro soldiers who are giving their lives that the world may be made safe for Democracy and America made safe for John Sharn Williams and his gang of obstructionists. They forget that every effort they make to humiliate and retard the American Negro is an effort to prevent America from winning the war. The strenuous and determined way in which some people who call themselves Americans oppose any and everything that concerns the Negro, gives, the lie to their claims upon American citizenship and leaves the logical conclusion that these camouflagers are carrying out a well-defined system of German Propaganda along the line of what they think is the least resistance. There are thousands of white men in this country claiming its protection, who would rather see Germany win the war than to see the American Negro given a square deal and an equal opportunity. Every man who wears a Liberty Bond button or who parades as a 100 percent American is not a friend to America, and every man who thinks that the Negro is not a valuable asset to America and as deserving as anyone else will wake up soon, to find himself mistaken. Unless the government of the state rights, which it has been pro-islation, subsequent thereto define assumed control of the railroads' laws, enacted by the southern state it is squared up to the administration, to put the Jim Crow care of unjust and undemocratic, but illiterate Railroads are federalized, as was a war measure, but as a fixed federal control there cannot be on the republic and an entirely oppose If passengers who can afford train accommodations, privileges and country, then by what other of them in another portion of the country on earth, worthy of the name, will control.

But whether the sentiment of bias it is the only right thing to abide Adeo has the courage and manhe he did in that of wars. The J was wrong and it has been abolishing wrong and because it is wrong it. Unless the government of the United States accepts the doctrine of state rights, which it has been presumed the Civil war and the legislation subsequent thereto definitely settled, when the government assumed control of the railroads of the country, all Jim Crow car laws, enacted by the southern states, automatically ceased. Therefore it is squarely up to the administration, without quibble or equivocation, to put the Jim Crow cars out of business. They are not only unjust and undemocratic, but illegal and unconstitutional. If passengers who can afford to pay for them, are entitled to certain accommodations, privilege and conveniences in one section of the country, then by what value of right or equity can they be denied them in another section of the country! None. And no government on earth, worthy of the name, will tolerate such things, where it is in control. The United States government is a worthy government. It is in pow. in absolute control of the railroads. How long will such a government tolerate so plain a violation of its very fundamental principles! Not long. Can you not see that under federal control all inequalities or denials of rights of citizens of the United States, which may have been enacted into laws by the several states, in direct abridgment of those rights to which all citizens of the United States are entitled, automatically cease? It simply remains for Mr. McAdos, director general of the railroads, to do in the matter of railroad manner accommodations that he has so wisely and justly done in the matter of wager for all railroad employees. He has abolished inequality of wager. He has deserved and the sentiment of the country has backed him up, because the justice of his decision is recognized by the American people, who at heart believe in justice and fair play, that there shall be equal pay for equal work applicable to all alike, irrespective of race or color. He has abolished the Jim Crow wage scale because it was inimitable and unjust. By the same legislative authority with which he is invested he has only to insist that there shall be equal accommodations for equal force for all passengers or all railroads. This is so manifestly fair and just that the sentiment of the country will back him up. But whether the sentiment of the country does or does not sustain him it is the only right thing to do and we believe that William A. McAdos has the courage and manhood to do the right in this matter as he did in that of wager. The Jim Crow wager system on railroads was wrong and it has been abolished. The Jim Crow car system is wrong and because it is wrong it will be abolished—Omaba Monitor.

Count that day lost whose low-descending sun views at thy hand no deed to tak the Hun. Perseverance Lodge No. 1765, G. U. O. of D. P. has voted to take out $500.00 worth of Fourth Liberty Loan bonds Some days ago when the officers of the Colored Pythian Sanitarium of Hot Springs were in session they tendered the use of that institution to President Wilson for the War Department during the period of the war. It is said that the institution is equipped for the seeming needs of the hour, and that the Government could use it while the war is in progress. The Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias received the following telegram from President Wilson: White House, Washington, 5:43 p.m. m. Aug. 2. S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor, K. of P. Hot Springs, Ark. Your telegram, with regard to the generous offer of the Knight of Pythias' Colored Sanitarium, has been received with the greatest appreciation and shall at once consult with the Department of War with regards to the possibility of the Government availing itself of the order.—Woodrow Wilson. . . .

Smith, 2450 Lawton Ave. was under the auspices of Jonic Chapter, R. A. M. The affair was well attended by compatriots and their families, and proved a financial success. Mr. Smith is one of the executives of Jonic Chapter which is proof positive that success will crown every effort put forth by that body. Splendid results are being derived by the Auditing Committee of Onward Commandery of Knights Templar. The women's auxiliaries of one or two of our high fraternal bodies should be commanded for the systematic procedure, they are taking in elimination from their ranks those "Jezebels" who have not only defeated the purposes of some of the best institutions, but have greatly profaned the ceremonies and retarded the growth of good organizations because of their affiliation. Beware of one who has nothing to lose. --- A degree working team has been organized and is in training, under the tutelage of Ionic Lodge of Masons. The best material of the lodge has been selected and assigned a specific course of study on military work. How well they will perform their duties remains until October 19, when the "battering ram" will make its initial appearance before a mammoth class of profanes. Oregon has recognized France. Expects to have a Masonic Home soon. As we go to press news comes that a committee is conferring with members of the diar of Medinah Temple of Shriners, with reference to their participating in a patriotic parade, Sunday. The Scottish Rite Council of Servia, who headquarters are now in France, has issued from Marseilles, 'Circular No. 2' to all Masleon powers urging that it is neither true pacifist nor humanitarian principles to give the oligarch credence to German appeals for peace, nor to even think of peace with Germany so long as the Hohenzollern and Hapsburg military machine exist to endanger the world Democracy for the peoples of Germany. Austro-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey are impossible so long as the present autocratic machinery is permitted by the world. In putting itself on record, Serivan Masleon appeals to the craft everywhere to do like wise. The circular will be published in full hereafter. Rose Croix Chapter of Eureka Consistory of Masons of the Thirty-second degree, will meet promptly at 8 o'clock Friday night in their "holy of holies." Matters of serious concern will come before that body. Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd of the Knights of Phyllas of Missouri was one of the speakers at the recent inaugural celebration at Lincoln Institute, when Dr. Clement Richardson was inducted into the office of president of that institution.

Garrison, the instructor in charge of the school, said that the young men had exceeded all expectations and had met conditions as they were in a most cheerful and confident manner, and that they had mounted the military ladder of training round by round, showing a degree of prolegibility that compared most favorably with their fellows. Their conduct in camp and city was most praiseworthy. They came from all walks of life, from college down. Sergeant Rohert Terry, of the First Separate Company of Baltimore, and Sergeant Charles Hughes, of the First Separate Battalion, of Washington, D.C., have been presented the Crixx de Guerre for bravery, according to word received from France.

He is the nearest to "String beans," the late eliminated eccentric, as could be imagined. Edwards is past as colorful, without being as coarse, in words and actions. His work carries too much originality to be classed as an imitation. He and his female partner have improved wonderfully since their last appearance here. The woman is a master of her style of acting. Their songs make an impressive hit and there is a laugh punch in every line of talk. A soldier burlesque takes the house by storm. Hafip Simpson, an eccentric comedian, mixes songs, dancing and several lines of humorous jokes together into a good single act. He keeps the audience laughing and wins applause with his queer antics. Brown and White a sister team, have an appreciative act. They personalize and characters. Miss Brown creating the male style. Their singing is an elicited touch the "Goon Shouter" type. Their jokes are original, and dancing very good. Mabel Grant and Alberta Perkins, another sister team, have put together a good comedy act. This is credited mainly to the staple, cross fire con- ventionalism, equally their take on. Their singing is up to the regulation of the skill known pair. The entire act goes over log. The Allied Allen Sax, consisting of a merger and a spinal of eight privates, accompanied by three ladies of the 58. Louis Volunteer, Minor Corps and a four minute speaker, visited the theatre.

PICTURE PANS WILL GO "OVER THE TOP" WITH EMPEY AT THE COMET SUNDAY This Sunday, October 6, the losers of sensational war pictures will get an opportunity to witness a reproduction of the great overseas struggle, in its regality, at the Comet Theatre, 2110 Market street. The big feature to be shown is "Over the Top," with Sergt Arthur Goy Empey in the leading role. "Over the Top" is the one story of life in the tenebes that has touched every responsive soul in America. It is the greatest story of the war. More than seventy-five hundred of our own American boys in khaki appear in the big production. "Over the Top" is convincing. Because one feels that it is accurate in detail and in action. Emperor, the hero of the play, lives again on the screen the thrilling moments he experienced during the eighteen months he was on the battlefront: and, in view of the fact that he personally directs the building of the trenches, the quitting of the soldiers who take part in the raiding scenes and everything connected with the military phases of the picture, these are the most realistic scenes conceivable. Go early, so you will not fail to see it at the Comet Theatre, this Sunday, October 6. "The Legion of Death" Tuesday In this magnificent special production the most dramatic story in Russia's history—partake in the history of the world—is pictured. When the men at the front despaired of victory and laid down their arms, a noble band of oil women, the illitation of death, took their places in the trenches and fought the Huns. This great story by Jomo Mathis immortalizes this moment and shows it of repressing when Russia threw yoke of the Azar. The "Bernah the seren," Edith Stoever, play part of the Princess Marya, who to the women warriors into battle, part-calls for dramatic fire, and Mr. Stoever rises to great heights in it. "The Legion of Death" is a production long to be remembered. "Moral Stories," or the "Shaying of a Soul," has intense dramatic power with wonderfully impressive scene of feet and a remarkably high grade of photography. It is the story of a man's downfall and his regeneration. A striking revelation of the motives that sometimes prompt the deaths of men. It is stitched in the result of its action, expresses, in the importance of the moral subject with which it deals and used with alluring lyrical "America's Answer," the second United States official war picture, will be seen at the Imperial Theatre, 10th and Pind streets, which is now devoted to Colored patronage.

The film has been viewed by General Pershing and has his approval, and he is the authority for the statement that it is a comprehensive accounting of his stewardship during the final year of the war. The picture shows the transportation of American ships to France and the effective convoy work done by the U. S. Navy. It shows the enormous docks, refrigerating plants and industrial assembling plants in France, the marvellous feats of the engineers in forestry, arranging port facilities, constructing miles of railroads and performing achievements that have astonished the French and British. An interesting feature of the film is that showing the arrival and landing of the American Expeditionary Forces their movements to the camps and their daily life in the trenches, and in the rest camps. Highly interesting scenes are shown of the American troops engaged in actual warfare. The real purpose to American participation being made the deciding factor in winning the war is the one great impression received upon viewing the film.
