PRESIDENT RECEIVES CONVENTION IN EXECUTIVE OFFICE Don't Let The Son Go Down VOL. VII. NO. 26 PRESIDENT National Race Congress Before Then Interviews D Adoo On Railroad Representation On Washington D. C.-The National Race Congress which met in Washington October 1, 2, 3, held perhaps the most successful and most influential meeting ever held in its history and the largest delegation took part. The sessions were held in the Metropolitan Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, and were presided over by President W. H. Jernagin. The following officers were elected: Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D. Washington D. C., president Bishop; I. N. Rosa, Washington D. C., vice president; Rev. C. H. Steptone, Baltimore Md. secretary; Rev. J. H. Randolph, Washington, D. C., assistant secretary; Rev. A. A. Graham, Phebus, Va. corresponding and financial secretary; W. H. Dean, Washington treasurer; A. E. P. Cheek, Newark, chaplain; William H. Harrison, Chicago, national organizer; H. J. Callis, chairman executive board. There were a number of things accomplished looking forward to racial betterment. President Wilson received the whole convention in the executive office, and the racial conditions were laid before him; then a conference was held with Director General William G. McAdoo, and he was told by representatives of the race the treatment received in some sections of the country on railroads; and it was decided to send a representative to France to study the morale of the Negro soldiers, and they are going to ask for a representative on the peace commission, and five men will be sent to the commission wherover it meets. Some strong addresses were delivered during the week, and Judge William H. Harrison presented the case of the whole race to the President in a manner which held the President speeckbound and, at times he was almost moved to team. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to Secretary Baker of the War Department, delivered a special address and brought before the Congress some valuable information concerning the Negro in the war. He said that 350,000 members of the race were in the military service of the country and 1,280 commissioned officers. Delegation of the White House The delegation was led by Rev. W. H. Jernigan, D.D., Washington, D.C., President and Bishop, I. N. Ross, D.D., Washington, D.C., Vice President, into the White House. Prompt at 4:03 p. m. the Secretary, Mr. Tumulty, advised the delegation that the Chief Executive was ready for the reception, whenup the delegation walked in and stood in a crescent about the President. Judge William Harrison of Chicago, Ill., was introduced to the President by Rev. W. H. Jernigan as spokesman. Judge Harrison asks the President's permission for a word of prayer, and this granted, Rev. J. C. Austin, D.D., Pittsburgh, Penn, breathed a word of fervent prayer. Judge Harrison then stated completely the case and the cause of the Negro to the President in language chaste, sympathetic, positive, forceful and replete. As bold as Paul on Mara Hill, he pointed out the many discriminations against his race in this Nation and appealing to the Christian virtues of the President of the Nation, prayed that these injustices cease. Assured the President as a matter of repitation that the race was with him in winning the war and in doing any and verything else that was Catholic in spirit and democratic in purpose, operation and effect. The President moved to tears as the Judge plead the cause of his race. In responses the President assured the delegation that the spokesman had interpreted his spirit and said that he would everything that was in his power to righten all wrongs complained of and would hasten as fast as he could the head and sort of democracy that he stood for and that he spokesman mentioned. The following was sled with the President. Headquarters National Race Congress, 901 3rd Street, N. W. Washington, D. C., Oct. 1, 1918. Hon. Woodrow Wilson. President of the United States, Washington, D. C. Mr. President: The National Race Congress in an annual conference of delegates from the several states, convened to consider the conditions of our people in the United States and to construct a program for the development of the social, economic and spiritual life of our race. We seek to foster the aims and aspirations of a free people; and to secure to our fellows the guarantees of the Constitution of the United States, by lawful agitation, fellowship and service. We meet this year when our country is at war. We feel with all other Americans the burdens that war imposes, and we offer to our country, not our bit, but our best. Our loyalty is unwavering, our service is whole-hearted. Our history has no taint of treason. Our blood has been freely given in all our country's wars. Hence we have earned the right to speak in our own defense if our rights are abridged. We are grateful, Mr. President, for the two ideals you have set forth to America and the world; and we are particularly pleased with your perseverance, against such challenges. It gave encouragement to the heart of every The American, and in the harbored hope to all Colored men in the United States. Of course we did that too but still came when you may marvel at the full power designed to The St. Louis Argus you as the Chief Executive of our Nation, and summon to your aid the full force of a statute of the United States Government by which such lawless acts may be suppressed. We know that offenses will be committed. We do not condone crime, but we ask for our people what is accorded to others; viz. that all individuals charged with crime, should be given a fair and impartial trial by a jury of their peers. We now bring to your attention, Mr. President, a matter that heads us under the Interstate Commerce Commission, but which we bring to you because relief has not come from that source. Our people are unfairly treated by the railroads of the South. The laws of the Southern States prescribe that "there shall be separate but equal accommodations for and Colored passengers on trains." It is a fact that while there are separate accommodations, they are in no sense equal. The treatment our people receive as passengers on railways in the South is in open violation of the law: it is unfair, unjust and deuse the authority of your exalted office to change these conditions making travel equally safe, comfortable and healthful to all who pay the same tariff. The black soldier fights best when his mother, wife and sister are not humiliated on the common carriers of his country because of race prejudice. Another grievance that is hindering the war spirit in our race is, the fact that in some of the administrative offices of the government in Washington, D. C., and elsewhere, race discrimination is nullifying the letter and spirit of the Civil Service law; and delaying the winning of the war by depressing the enthusiasm of the aspiring people of our race. Our people who aspire to positions above the mental grade in some departments, are fairly denied consideration, and sometimes, if a fair official gives work to such aspirants, they are marked for insult or humiliation by boorish officials or discontentous employees. These discriminations disturb the morale of our young people and lower the efficiency of both, the offender and the offended. This splice of prejudice against race and color, sometimes, nay too often, finds its way into the Army and Navy of the United States. Our brave black boys have given a good account of themselves in the fight against the Hun, and we protest against any discrimination in the Army and Navy based on race or color. We ask a fair trial in all branches of the military service. Mr. President, we seek just an impartial dealing from the officials of our government; we believe you to be providentially directed in the guilding of our Nation at such a time as this, and we bert you to give us the protection we are fighting hard to win and offer to others. We ask you to encourage us in honoring the freedom you love. Let us be Americans in character regardless of color. Let us have no "Jim Crow Cara," no segregation, no disfranchisement, no proscription, no partiality and no prejudice in the government administration of public affairs. Finally, Mr. President, wrongs so open, weight down the hearts and slow the movement of the people who are otherwise happy and anxious to serve their country. Now, as never before, do we as black men, need) to give to our people the spirit of hope, inspiration and love of country. Changing the conditions complained of will make it easier for the leaders of our race to direct and influence our people in the activities and sacrifices incident to winning the war for democracy and righteousness. Attest: W. H. Jernigan, President. C. H. Stepteen, Md., Secretary. FREEDOM FOR GERMAN SLAVES English Society Asks Relief for Blacks in Africa.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces on its own behalf and on that of the National Association of Colored Women that the offer of these two organizations to co-operate, with the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee in promoting the sale of Fourth Liberty Loan bonds among Colored people in twelve Southern States in which the largest number of Colored people live, by furnishing prominent Colored women speakers, members of the latter organization, to tour these states, has been accepted for the following states by the Woman's Liberty Loan Committees of these states.

At the annual meeting of the National Association of Colored Women held in July in Des Moines, attended by 202 delegates, the President of the Association, Mrs. Mary B Talbert, in her annual report, said that the Association had 7,000 women at work to assist in the Third Liberty Loan Drive through whom $5,000,000 was raised. She estimated that the Colored people contributed about $300,0 in the Red Cross Drive up to that time. 'Protest on Compulsory Work Protest on Compulsory Work The National Association. for the Advancement of Colored People makes public, the following telegrams of protest to President Wilson and to Governor Brough of Arkansas against the application of compulsory work laws to women. The associat's action was taken on the basis of press dispatches stating that Arkansas planters have begun a movement to force Negro women to work on cotton plantations in that state against their will, and the reported enforcement in a Georgia town against Negro women of compulsory work laws which are applied against Colored women only. The telegrams follow: September 22, 1918 Iton, Woodrow, Wilson. President of the United States, Washington, D. C. National Association for Advancement of Colored People earnestly requests your attention and that of proper department of the federal government. to prevent forced labor of Negro women in any of the states. New York papers of September 21 carry press dispatches from Pine Bluff, Ark. that local business men and planters have begun movement to have work or fight order applied to women, alleging that Negro women now living on allotments paid them by War Department because of drafted husbands and sons serving in armed forces of country are refusing to perform labor. Wrightsville, Ga., is reported to be enforcing against Colored women only ordinance requiring both sexes to work at least fifty hours per week. This association is confident that your high sense of justice will insure prompt condemnation of efforts to apply compulsory laws to women's labor and that you will regard it as invidious and un-American to compulsory work principle to Negro women alone. JOHN R. SHILLADY, Sec. National Association for Advancement of Colored People. September 23, 1918. Hon. Charles H. Brough, Governor. National Association for Advancement of Colored People requests information concerning proposed movement of Arkansas business men in planters to invoke so-called work or fight order to be applied to Negro women. In the name of Colored people of Arkansas, who are unrepresented in your legislature, and in name of Colored people of the nation, this association emphatically protests against discriminatory application of labor conscription to Colored people and particularly objects to labor conscription of women. No proposition is anywhere made to conscript labor of white women. The nation as a whole will regard attempt to conscript Colored women as in the nature of peonage. Negroes of the country are serving loyalty in nations as armed forces and on its industrial battlesdolds. Young St. Louisan in France Tells of French Courage—Negroes Are Great Fighters—Only Six Have Been Killed. Second Lieutenant C. Udell Turpin, an a letter to his mother, Mrs. T. Oswald, writes interestingly of his experiences in France. Turpin states that he is assistant regimental intelligence officer, which is quite an administrative job. In his capacity he he interviews German prisoners. He intimates that the experiences our boys are having will make true race men out of all of them. He says mail sent to the boys is not censored. It goes direct without being touched. America Has Not Felt the War Yet The following is an extract from his letter: "Every child here, who is old enough, is working to help win the war. America has not really felt this war yet. When every man in the United States, married or single, has to fight; every woman has to take the men's places, and when beautiful cities are smashed up like these here, then you will realize that a war is on. You should see these courageous people. Every man fighting, every woman in the fields, yes in fields where shells fly over their heads as they work: still all have a smile and are proud that they can offer theirs and themselves to such a noble cause. If I were in the States now I would feel myself a moral coward if I did not join the army. To fight for such a noble cause, for a cause that will surely help our race, is the greatest thing a young man can do at this time." Only Six Men Lost "So far we have lost very few men, about six. Believe me, our boys know how to fight, and the pli-faced Germans are aware of it; too. The French people are exceedingly hospitable to us and absolutely know no color line. It is amazing to see our boys and these French people associate together just as one race. There seems to be a certain equality in both races that appeals to each other. All of us now can talk some French. I can talk as well as I can English." Bonds buy bayonets. Good another to the Black Boys. Negroes Working Hard For Liberty Loan Mr. Editor: I beg your indulgence for just a line in your valuable paper to express my gratitude and sincere thanks for the assistance I am receiving from the good Colored people of my district in the sale of the Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds. Times like these we are experiencing not only try men's souls, but the loyalty, patriotism, patience and perseverance of our women; not only white women, but all women who lay any claim to being American. It is any belief that all Colored women are 100 per cent American. No time now to draw lines or look for any excepting the lines of battle, the lines, bounding Germany, and the means to cross those lines. The Colored folks are aroused and demonstrating daily their qualities; reporting at headquarters, Lindell and Grand, an assistant to be assigned to some line of endeavor that will settle bonds; anxious to make those at home bay while the boys over there die. Mrs. Bettie Ernest has been placed in charge of the Colored division of the 17th Ward Liberty Loan organization and has appointed such noble crecinet captains as Madames Bonnie Gardner, Katherine Eastman, Lydia Hughes, Mattle Gooch, Mattle, Malone, Lottie Johnson, Mary Hepsley, Mamie Saddler and Mary Johnson, Mrs E. J. Smith, Florence McBride and Mary Willis have special assignments. I want to specially mention the work of Mrs. Mary Johnson of the 8th Precinct, who up to date has brought in the largest subscription one for $1,000, all cash, one haul without a hard net. Good catch, Mary. Mrs. Lyda Hughes of the 5th Precinct, holds first place in number of sold coupon books. Mrs. Mattle Gooch is making some enttable record as a canvasser, and I express the belief that if St. Louis is canvassed and reported as the touchly as is her prefect, a recavann will be unnecessary. If there is slacker in Mrs. Gooch's precinct she will find him and his room will prob ably be for rent. St. Louis Negro Men and Women are playing a conspicuous part in the Fourth Liberty Losan Drive which he began September 28. In every locality there Colored citizens are thickly populated the canvasasing has been done by members of the race. The spirit of "Go Over the Ton" is having a telling effect with the patrons in this vicinity and when the count is made the Colored people of St. Louis will be well to the front with their obserptions Opportunity Given to Volunteer—9 applicants Will Be Sent to Western University, Quindaro, Kansas—Men Must Apply at Their Ward Boards at Once, and Will Be Entrained Next Tuesday, the 12th.

DEPARTMENT AT THE ARSENAL Charge "Jim Crow" Signs Have Been Posted in New Building Claim Capta tain in Charge. Who Recently Came From South Is Bitterly Prejudiced. Complaint has been made by the Colored laborers in the Quartermaster's Department at the Arsenal, that three-foot "JimCrow" signs have been placed-over or near the doors to toilers designating certain to be used for Colored. These signs are in the recently completed building, where there are about 200 Colored men employed. They were put up about a week ago, it is stated, are in no other building at the Arsenal. Prejudiced Captain Blamed Men in the building point to the coming, of Captain Daugherty from Arkansas, three-weeks ago, to take charge. They claim that Daugherty is bitterly prejudiced against Negroes and the signs have only been put up since he took charge. Dismisses Colored Clerk A Colored clerk, named Short, the only one at the Arsenal, was discharged about ten days after Captain Daugherty's arrival. Short came here from Washington. It is claimed that he was discharged at one time by Daugherty in Arkansas. One of the men who refused to submit to the discriminations stated to The Argus that 15 or 20 men have left the department and those who remain are drafting a protest to the department headquarters at Washington. It is stated that the first man to quit did so Friday noon, October 4, after he had been told by Lieutenant Johnson-that he would kick any "black" — — — out of a toilet for whites, who he saw going in. The office has been referred to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Philadelphia, Pa.—A letter of complaint against alleged race discrimination at Hog Island was sent to President Frederick Holbrook of the American International Ship Building Company, by the Colored Protective Association. Race men have taken training in the school at the yard with the understanding that they would be employed as skilled workmen at the end of their training, only to learn that the policy of the corporation is to limit the race men to the jobs for common labor. It is said that this influence of "The Dixie Club" is such that it will not allow a race man to work as a mechanic on the ships. This association has taken affidavits from fifteen skilled race men who claim that discrimination has been made against them. These affidavits will be sent to Washington.

JEFFERSON CITY BREEZES By Rev. Earl J. Dodson We have been recently appointed by the St. Louis Argus Publishing Co. as correspondent from this city, thus we are anxious to supply each week all the citizens of the town with a copy of The Argus. You will be able to take the time to keep you best informed concerning what our boys are doing in the trenches "over there." After spending a day's bell, you can then spend a quiet evening persisting the interesting events of the hatband or son while he remains of the battle front.... The Lincoln Institute, under the New President, Dr. C. Richardson, has served notice to the citizens of the city and elsewhere, that they are now prepared to offer a complete business course to everyone who wishes, to take advantage of the same. The Institutional Farm, we are reliably informed, has for the first time been placed under the supervision of the school proper. Already there is an enrollment of two hundred and fifty students and the campus and dormitories are work, an the hum of musical cadence charges the morning zephyr grounds.... Friday evening the 4th inst., the Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church rendered a very efficient program. The pastor, Rev. J. W. Curry is winding up his conference year. The following teachers from the Lincoln Institute, together with a number of the student body were present and assisted in the program. Miss H. Johnson, in charge of the Organ and Violin Department; Miss Beatrice Lee, in charge of the Musical and Violin Department; also Prof. J. E. Rose, of the English branches, a number of favorite melodies were rendered by the Boys' Glee Club, and the Girls' Quartette. A beautiful bedspread was given to the person drawing the lucky number—that person was Mrs. K. G. Prynn, wife of the very efficient secretary of the church. A. M. E. Zilon Church still goes forward by lea-nd and bounds. Hear the special sermons delivered Sunday by the pastor, Rev. Earl J. Dodson. Be sure that you do not miss your copy of the Argus each week, only 5 cts. Mrs. G. F. Nash of 4235 Kosush Avenue, St. Louis, is in the city, visiting old friends and relatives. Miss Reveret Colston and Mrs. Price, both of Kansas City, paid the Jeffersonians a flying visit last Saturday, returning on the Sunday morning train to their homes. The latter is in charge of the Garrison Field House Bath Department in that city, while the former associates her in the position. A new lodge of the Knights of Pythias is being organized in the city, and several of the leading men have already subscribed as members. The meetings are now being held every Thursday and Sunday at Prof. U. S. Grant-Tayer place, 523 Lafayette St. Those wishing to become members should send their names at once. Among the important places of business conducted in Jefferson City, we are delighted to make special mention of Prof. U. S. Grant Tayes, and his very efficient wife, Mrs. Laura J. Tayes, who are conducting in first-class order, a lunch room and tonsoral parlor. See them for efficient service. ..Subscribe for The Argus FARMINGTON, MO. By Miss Dayse F.

Advertise in The Argus A TREIBTE TO OUR COLORED SOLDIERS By (Rev) Earl J. Dodeen Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 8, 1918 The world's gone to talking Bout, what our boys have done; The scribes are also writing much On the victories they have won. This means that they are soldiers Of the bravest kind yet found. Who're now meeting German fomen On the Teuton's battle ground. I like to read of Needham Roberts, And Henry Johnson, two good chums, And defended a score of Huns. When the enemy came sneaking in, They first considered him Mice. But soon they found a needful Cause to wield the 'bolo knife.' They first tried guns, they jammed, Then the buits were used outright. Their bayonets too were wielded fast, But "shrapnel" finished the fight. Today they're the world's heroes, And are wearing the French Cross. The deeds of valor will live in Our hearts though we count them lost. Now, what're you going to say then; You rubbers of the sniffy kind? Can you beat Marse' Providence Working out good deeds—sublime? No, you say we are no heroes, And our valor you've minimized. But since the battle of Carazal Others place us in the skies. They are talking about our bravery And they land our stubborn will; or we are the men on whom they Depend to meet old Kaiser Bill. We're playing a conspicuous part In the battle across the sea. Bravely fighting for one thing— Our Country's De-mocracy. It's for this our brawn is acting, while our blood runs free as air, Hope whispers to us at the same Time: "In this my sons you'll share." It but makes me think of Attucks, Eratwhile leader of us all, Who, within his hand a bludgeon Rushed for the to Liberty's call. It was on the Boston Commons He met Freedom's ghastly foe, Carrying within his bosom, the Heart, first in a liberty blow. He, himself, was disemboweled Yet he died as a hero—brave Went, 'tis up to us' to save And too the thing for which he That cause ye men! is liberty Guaranteed to every man. That's why our soldiers are now Fighting—athwart to German plan. Does anyone doubt our winning? Why, heavens we've always won! If so, enquire of Kaiser Bill Tocratic leader of the Hum. He'll tell you the truth about It as the battle now, so goes— Our 'black soldiers' measure out Poison pills, that cause him woes; He's walling much now six days. We're told through special dispatch; Brooding over his 'Golden Egg' the 'Black Devil' are sure to hatch. Of course the 'egg' is world autocracy Which Germans fight to win; But out of it, our black soldier Boys' bring Liberty to all men. We cannot think of them stopping, Their hearts are noble and true; They've suffered many a conflict, Now, hard tried, but going through. Through, not only German Kultur, But the world's frown and scorn "They'll win their laurel." Good Book Says "Victory for which they're born" They'll come back to America, The home of the free and brave, And say: "Dear Uncle Sam, don't Think I'm any more your knave." For I have fought your battles And I climbed the German Dykes, I could not always see the 'Stars' But I followed by the 'Stripes' I have brought you back a God-send, Fresh from the European land; I laid loose German legions low, Left them buried in the sand." "Now, Dear Uncle, won't you Sir, Do something you've never done; Stop this gossip round the country Saying: 'I'm your bastard son?" I've always claimed you father, And shall love you still the same; What I want is, 'rehstatement.' And I want my foster name." "It should be a term well sounding, Why call we your 'alger-urchin' When I've found by reading history That I am a 'Colored American' Now then you've done this, father, Methinks to ask of you no more Save let me live in this good land In peace from shore to shore." "I'll help you keep our flag on high, Rest assure. I'll never tire. But while I'm buoy on the job You'll have to put out that Fire. Don't think that I am naughty When I say I'm a child of hope, For I've put through fifty years, Witnessing the "hoodlum's rope." "Now father, patience's almost gone, And I'm bordering on 'asa dispail,' The court's gate has dishairered me, So, make me your sovereign's hair. I want your good protection while In 'free country' traveling 'round; Make them stop that kicking me up. Just like I'm some old hound." "Give me what the Con-stitution Says; 'All the full rights of man.' This is all for this time, Sire; Nonexcision toward my clan. Just touch of me, not like the past, Frown not on the color of my skin; But proudly tell men everywhere That I am citizenized—an American."

GOLDEN TEXT - A friend loves us all times, and a brother is born for adver- sity. Proverba 17:17. DEVOTIONAL READING - Romana 9: 12:21. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS - Genesis 12:19-16; 34; 19:16-13; 19:29. I. Abram and Lot Return From Egypt (vv. 14). Abram went into Egypt because of a famine. No doubt the famine was sent in judgment for the sins of the people, but also for Abram's sake. He needed the graces of his heart developed. He needed to be taught the weakness of his own heart, and the faithfulness of God. The child of God is not promised exemption from trials, but grace sufficient to endure them. Abram failed. In the midst of his trials he went off to Egypt without God's direction, where he got into trouble. To take one's own way always brings him into trouble. His expedient to save his life was unworthy of Abram. He lied, and a lie is never justifiable. It is much better to die than to lie. Abram by prevarication deceived the king, but as soon as the truth was known he was thrust out. Though Abram had 'strayed' from the pathway of faith, he had the good sense to go "unto the place where his tent had been in the beginning, where the altar was." This showed that he was willing to confess his mistake, and begin life over again. This Egypt experience was a loss spiritually to Abram, though he became rich there. Increase of riches is no sign that a man is in fellowship with God. 11. Abram aridOot Separate (vv. 5-11). The goods of both Abram and Lot greatly increased. When they attempted to settle down, trouble arose, between their hudensmen. This is the first pardon of trouble between relatives over financial matters. Riches often interfere with friendship. They kindle jealousy and strife between men. They engender greed and selfishness in men. Many times members of the same family are estranged from each other through strife for wealth. For the chosen of God thus to quarrel is utter folly and criminal, especially when the enemy of the Lord's people looks on. "The Canaanite and the Perissite dwelt then in the land" (v. 7). It is bad enough for God's children to quarrel, but to do so in the presence of the world which delights therein is greatly to sin. Abram's behavior is a fine example of the art of living together peaceably. The disgraceful situation was relieved by a generous proposition from Abram. Lot was allowed his choice. Separation is sometimes necessary. Though he owed all to Abram, his selfish heart caused him to grasp for the best. Lot's action shows that his stay in Egypt was ruinous to him. Perhaps he chose the plains of the Jordan because of their resemblance to Egypt. One cannot go into Egypt without being affected by it. This was a fatal choice for Lot. The motive actuating him was worldly advantage. Though he for awhile prospered, it was an expensive undertaking for him. Lot with all his goods was taken away when the confederate kings came against Sodom. He is an example of one saved so as by fire (I Cor. 3:11-15). He set his affections upon earthly things and the time came when he had to separate from them. The world and its lusts pass away, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever (I John 2:15-17). Lot was not wholly corrupt; he was a man who allowed the world to get the better, of him. Once his money and his family were in Sodom he simply endured the wickedness, longing to escape from it (I Peter 2:6-8). 111. Abram Dellivera Lot (Genesis 14:14-16). Though Lot's trouble was the result of his selfish choice, Abram's unagammality of soulypressed itself, taking up arms to deliver him from the oppressor. This was because Abram was a man of faith. Faith trusts God and rights for the right. While Lot suffered from his evil choice, Abram was greatly prospered. He grew rich in temporal things, while at the same time he was rich toward God. It were much better to have God and a poor piece of land; than a rich piece of land without God. When Lot was involved in the ruin of his and choice Abram had the power to deliver him. Abram's whole life shows that those who make obedience to God first get the needed worldly gain (I Kings 8:5-13; Matthew 6:33). Scripture Penitrate. So far as I have observed God's dealings with my soul, the sight of preachers sometimes entertained me, but it was Scripture expressions that did penetrate my heart, and in a way peculiar to themselven—John.

We are pleased to see the day fast approaching when men who are really weaklings are being relegated to the "brush heaps" thus to die the death of a fool. To-day like the days of Lincoln, "You cannot fool all of the people all of the time." The great issues of to-day are trying men's souls. The great questions that are born as a result of this present war are really testing men who hold high offices; men who hold positions of honor and trust. Only those who are strong and courageous will be able to stand. Of course, there are men who hold high office who are merely "getting by." They have no courage or back-bone. They ride into office on the backs of the ignorance of their fellowmen. They never contribute anything for the betterment of man-kind. This nation has seen only a few great crisis. Hence we have only a few great men. But the shining lights of the nation of to-day, as well as in the past, are the men who have stood for the cause of human rights; men who would rather do the right thing than be president; men who have their own convictions and men who are not cowards. We are pleased to note that here and there one of the true Americans, one of the shining lights of the Nation, one of the path-finder of true democracy like Governor Cox of Ohio who had the courage of his conviction, rose in the strength of right and justice and "kicked" that infamous film, the "Birth of a Nation" out of the state of Ohio. All hail a man like Gov. Cox. His acts may not receive the approval of the "howling mob" nor the enemies of true democracy but all men who are in favor of right and justice to all regardless of race or creed will honor him and remember him. We are reminded of the courageous deed of the governor of Kentucky, who defied a coward mob which was clamoring for the life of a Negro, and declared: "If any one is to be lynched here to-day, it will be me." God give us more such men in crucial hours. The "Birth of a Nation" has been barred from other cities and states by acts of legislation, police officers and otherwise. But to our shame the legislators, the police, the governor nor the mayors of our state (Mo.,) have had the courage or the backbone to assent their power and stop that nefarious film. If the picture is destroying the morale of the Colored people of Ohio it surely affected the morale of the Negro in Missouri and more than that, it is a maker of mischief—a disturber of peace—wickedly designed and worse than German propaganda.

Denison, recently of Chicago, but now of the United States Army, reached our city last Sunday to go to the Military Hospital at Ft. Des Molines to recuperate in health from the front line trenches in France from whence he came. He is gaining his health again and enjoying a much new life after being in the U. S. service for more than a year as colonel of the famous 8th Illinois now known as the 370th U. S. Soldiers. When this famous regiment left Chicago last summer they were ordered to Mouston, Texas, and the strained relations then existing between the two faces was terrible, but Colonel Denison knew there and commanded respect so that when his regiment left the white citizens expressed sorrow. They then landed in Newport News. There they had another trying time before they convinced the prejudiced white people that they were an American soldier, good, honest and true, and when they embarked from here to somewhere in France, the white people gave them a great recension. Colonel Denison was born in Texas, graduated from Lincoln, Pa. in 1888, was class orator. Graduated from Northwestern, University Law Department in 1890, the valedictorian of his class. He entered the practice of law in Chicago, where he made a great success. Later he was chief prosecuting attorney for the city of Chicago, assistant corporation counsel under Mayor Bosse for four years, and one year under Mayor Carter Harrison. Was appointed assistant attorney general of Illinois, a position he now holds. While serving with his regiment in Cuba he was appointed judge advocate by his government of one of the military districts of the island of Cuba. He was temporary chairman of the National Republican convention that nominated Wm. H. Taft, the second Colored man thus honored. He was major fourteen years before he was promoted to the colonel. FAMOUS NINTH CALVARY RECORD WITHOUT EQUAL FAMOUS NINTH CALVARY RECORD WITHOUT EQUAL FIGHTING NEGRO CAVALRY AT LAST. BEING GIVEN A CHANGE. Nladivostock, Russia.—The world famous United States Ninth Cavalry, Colored, arrived here a few days ago from Stotensburg, Philippine Islands, where the troopers have been stationed for some time keeping order among the Filipinos. The Ninth is part of the American expeditionary forces recently landed here, who with the Japanese forces, form the allied invasion of Siberia. This is not the first time that the Ninth has carried the Stars and Stripes into battle in the Orient. It will be remember that this regiment fought in the battle of Tien Tsien during the Boxer uprising in 1899, then commanding of officers, Colonel Liscum, being killed in action. The second officer in command of this organization is a Colored man, Lieutenant Colonel Ollie B. Phillips, who was formerly a major for several years in the same cavalry. The bolsehvik will get a genuine spanking if they persist in their defiant spirit and belligerent and bellicose attitude towards Uncle Sam and the allies. The above news item relative to the Ninth United States Cavalry landing in Russia recalls the gallant and conspicuous service that this organization has rendered since its birth in New Orleans, La., in 1868, when 2,266 ex slaves were enlisted for the armed service of America. These men formed the nucleus around which the 22th and 25th Infantry and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry were organised. All four are noted as fearless and intrepid fighters, with the honour going to the cavalry commands. The Ninth, often called the "N- Ninth" during the 52 years of its existence, has participated in Indian wars on the western frontiers and rendered distinguished service at San Juan Hill when the Ninth and Tenth stormed the entrenched Spanish, despite the yells and protestations of Colonel Roosevelt and his Rough Riders that it was death to climb the hill in the face of the terrific onmy fire and thereby saved the day, for Old Glory, and prevented the utter annihilation of the colonel and his great organization. Their charge up San Juan Hill is one of the greatest feats of daring and intrepidity in the annals of warfare, and the capture of El Candy was not small accomplishment; neither did it fall short of San Juan in daring bravery and gallantry. These black troopers know nothing about retreat, in fact, it is not in their martial vocabulary or lexicon, for when informed at San Juan Hill that it was death to storm the Spanish trenches, they yelled; "To hell with the rear! There'll be a hot time in the old town night." They captured the fort for ten, the day for Uncle Sam. Sergeant Berry, of the Tenth, being the first American soldier to reach the Spanish blockhouse and hoist the Stars and Stripes, amidst a veritable rain of Spanish bullets. HONEST ADVERTISING PAYS I want to say that the Steiger Lines of Planos have been sold to over 250 people of this city by me, and eighty-five per cent of my business in high class players, and mostly on good terms. I own 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 Plano for $450.00, and continue in business I A Player Plano that sells for $750.00 should cost the dealer, considerably more than $400.00 or it is not a $750.00 Player Plano. Our line of Player Planos 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 truck me, you pay the penalty.

COLORED MAN REGISTERED AS WHITE MUST SERVE COLORED MAN REGISTERED AS WHITE MUST SERVE Special to The St. Louis Argus. Cape Glirdeau, Mo., Oct. 7. — Mr. Rufus C. Burges, 415 N. Middle St, who was registered last June by the local draft board, and later classified as a white man because of an error which classed him as a white man, and who later: was sent to Camp Dodge, will have to serve in the through a ruling by the War Depart meant because all the registrants, both white and Colored of his class, are expected to be called to the colors this month. Friends of Mr. Burges here immediately took up his case with Hon. Emmett J. Scott, who promptly referred the case to Provost Marshall General Crowder. The War Department had already held that local boards had the power of determining the color of a registrant, and as all men in Class I, both white and Colored will be called to the colors this month, it did not appear that any injustice had been done in the Burges case. Mr. Scott took especial palms to give his immediate attention to the case which is of unusual importance because Burges was called to camp several weeks ahead of time because of the error. PRAISWORTHY REMARKS FROM A - RELIABLE INDUSTRY One insertion in The Argus of the announcement that follows brought us remarkable results and strengthened our opinion that you cannot reach the masses unless through the column of The St. Louis Argus—Accurate Laundry.

This decorative paper for walls seems to have first appeared in Europe toward the end of the seventeenth century. It was brought to France by overseas traders, and the French immediately perceived the possibilities thus offered. The paper did not come in rolls, as we have it today, but in sheets about three and one-half feet wide by ten feet in length. Some of the finest grades were printed by hand and the cheaper grades from wooden blocks. The patterns represented animals, temples, warriors and all the other familiar figures of Chinese art. The French called these new wall coverings "pagoda papers," and it soon became the fashion to have at least one or two rooms in every home of any pretensions finished with "pagoda papers." Throughout the eighteenth century the custom gradually spread. Both in France and England there were adaptations of the Chinese idea. There is a record of wall paper in England as far back as the time of Henry VIII, when the inventory of a monastery included "chamber hangings of painted papers." There are now in existence examples of English wall paper from the reign of Charles II. Some of the early attempts in the manufacture of wall paper are highly interesting. Tapestries were the elegant wall coverings through the renaissance; as they have been during the middle ages. But tapestries were expensive and beyond the reach of ordinary persons. So a good citizen of Rouen named Le Francois hit upon the idea of imitating tapestries. He had fanciful drawings made in the tapestry style on large pieces of paper pasted together in about the size of a tapestry. Upon these drawings Le Francois spread a kind of mucilage and then sprinkled the mucilage with powdered wool in different colors. "Paper volute," as it was called, then came into general usage. Our Men Now Battling Hun Will Be.Welcomed Home by Veterans of Previous Wars It is certain that some of the American soldiers now battling the Hun will be still living in the year 2000. What world changes they will have witnessed, observes Philadelphia Telegraph. James Parton, the historian, says that in 1888 he talked with two Englishmen who had fought against General Jackson at New Orleans 73 years before. There are still living about 500 veterans, according to the pension records, who were in the Mexican war, which ended 70 years ago. Eleven survivors of Bunker Hill heard Daniel Webster speak 75 years after that historic battle. Since 230,000 Union soldiers of our Civil war were only sixteen years of age or younger. It is not surprising that scores of thousands of Grant's "Boys in Blue" still enjoy vigorous health 53 years after Appomattox. The last soldier of Waterloo lived more than 90 years after the fight. "I know a man who sticks to his business, although he has had nothing but reverses since he entered it." "What does he do?" "Ritches have wings" "remarked the ready-made philosopher.

Study simplicity in the number of the dishes and variety in the character of the meals. The variety of fish is legion and only the limitations of shipping restrict us from all kinds. Those who live near the sea coast have a large choice, while the inland dweller may have a limited number. They are very good. Some fish are best baked, others breaded and fried while others are best broiled or boiled. Jellied Fish. Take two pounds of any large steak fish, two cupfuls of strained tomatoes, one teaspoonful of onion juice, a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of table sauce, six stuffed olives, one hard cooked egg, three tablespoonfuls of granulated gelatin and six thin slices of lemon. Cook the fish in three cupfuls of boiling water for 20 minutes. Remove the fish and return the stock to the fire; reduce to one pinch by boiling. Strain, add tomatoes, onion and seasoning. Cover the gelatin with two tablespoonfuls of water, then add to the boiling stock. Remove the skin and bones from the fish, break it into flakes and put it into a mold or bowl rinsed with cold water. Cut the lemon, egg and olives in thin slices, put around the edge of the bowl, then slowly pour in the mixture. Set in a cold place until firm; then turn out on a chop plate that has been lined with shredded lettuce. Garnish with lemon and a few rings of stuffed olives. Serve with tartare sauce or salad dressing. Cover three to four pounds of fish with boiling water, add one small onion and one tablespoonful of salt; boil for 25 minutes. Take from the water; when cooked, pick the fish, discarding the bones and skin. Put into a bowl and add the sauce, mixing well; put into ramckein, sprinkle with bread crumbs; place the dishes in hot water and bake for 15 minutes. Sauce—Put three tablespoonfuls of flour and two of butter in a sausepan; cook until smooth, then add one and a half cups of milk, two tablespoonfuls of chopped parsley, a tablespoonful of onion juice, the same of salt, one fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper and one half teaspoonful of dry mustard. Cook all together for five minutes; then it is ready to serve with the fish. Crab Salad Line a bowl with shredded lettuce and put four cupfuls of crab meat in the center, cover with well-seasoned mayonnaise. Garnish with a cupful of sliced pickles. Sprinkle with chopped green pepper, capers or stuffed olives. Four hundred and sixty-five "farmerettes" were sent out from the southern California branch of the woman's land service at Los Angeles from May 1 to July 17, last, to aid California ranchers in their efforts to increase the country's food supply. Nearly all of these have remained in the service, and as proof that these young women are capably filling the places of men called into the army or other activities connected with the war, it was pointed out at the headquarters of the service that many of their requests for help came from ranches near those to which units had previously been sent. Volunteers in the woman's land army sent out from Los Angeles include teachers, stenographers, saleswomen, waitresses and school girls. Most of them have been employed in gathering and preparing for market deciduous fruits. Activities of others have included driving tractors, dairying, planting tomatoes, harvesting various crops and making hay. The dairy industry has taken large dairies near Los Angeles, women having largely replaced men as milkers. Of the first units sent to the dairies only a few of the young women had milked before, and most of them were unaware that there is a "wrong" as well as a "right" she to a cow until they had been kicked over by outraged animals. New Torpedo "Catcher" Said to Frustrats a Shipwreck A new method of fighting the Ucoat menace is for the attacked vessel to drop a depth charge as the torpedo approaches. In darklight the wake of the torpedo can usually be seen quite clearly. When the depth charge explodes it either causes the premature explosion of the torpedo or else diverts the deadly missile from its course. This was found out quite by accident. A ship's officer, in his excitement one day, threw a depth charge overboard. It did the trick—Cassell's Journal. Training Hawaiian Dancers. Hawaiian dancers have a curious trailing for their profession, a correspondent writes. When they are little brown babies their mothers take them out in the sun and put a soft rubber ball on their stomachs. If they can keep the ball safely on the "tummy" they get something good to eat. If they let it roll off the"got a spanking." Chicago, Oct. 10. Negroes of the United States will make a determined effort to be represented at the peace table when the central powers are defeated.

She is survived by her husband, Robert Barnett; member of Lone Star Lodge No. 2, A. F & A. M. The House of Perfection of Eureka Consistory No. 23, Scottish Rite Masons, opens Saturday night, Oct. 12, with a valiant class of pilgrims who have asked for the ineffable degrees. G. W. Milliner, who represented about 1000 other workers of his own race at the recent American Federation of Labor convention, believes that the condition of Negro labor has profited greatly of late, principally through the aid of the American Federation of Labor. There were three other Negro delegates to the convention. Women as conductors and Colored men as motormen were vigorously and bitterly rejected by division No. 51 of the Street Car Men's Union in Pittsburgh this week. The men are determined to get at any cost the conditions they demand. The company offered an increase of from 45 to 48 cents an hour, which the men were willing to accept, but they rejected the conditions of equal opportunity to labor when it included women and Colored men. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine were cut in full numbers at their meeting last Sunday afternoon. "The purchasing of Fourth Liberty Bonds was among the many good things the Nobles saw fit to do, following the enthusiasm that was created through this talk made by Nobles Crittenden Clark, R. M. Brown and R. C. Fisher. Noble Butler, representing the War Department, brought a message to the Shriners that disabused many minds of skeptical matters affecting the Colored man in the present war crises. In answer to the question, why the recent Liberty Boat parade was void of the parade was to constitute uniformed men and only such soldiers who had been in action at the front; that there were not five Colored, soldiers in St. Louis when plans were formulated for the Liberty Bond parade." He further stated that when read the daily newspaper dispatches concerning the part of the U. S. Army is playing in the war, you should not feel that references are always specifically made to white troops, unless you keep up the battalions and know how they are officially styled, it is probable that you won't know when newspaper mention is made of them. The term American Troops applies to all soldiers of the United States Army, be they black of white, and so often a soldier is singularly honored, and if you do not know him personally you are unable to say whether he is Colored or white. Noble Butler said that he would investigate thoroughly any master brought to his attention concerning any misunderstanding between a soldier and the Government of would give necessary information to relatives who wish it, pertaining to the boys who have offered their services to the colors. The biggest feature of the M. M. C. A. financial campaign will be the Shriners' working team and its Oriented wars of raising money for that effort. On course, they will report every Sunday as other teams, but the working plans of the Mystic order will be peculiar to themselves. Their idea is to lead this campaign. Mrs. Bettle Ernest, Grand First Lieutenant of the Herodines of Templar Crusades, has been appointed chairman of a Liberty Loan Unit. Her territory includes the 12th Precinct of the 17th Ward. Several leading fraternities have purchased Liberty Bonds through Mrs. Ernest. She can be reached at the Vesper-Bulck Auto Co. Grand Avenue at Lindell Boulsvard. . . .

Dunavant, Pastor We are glad to report the continuance of our revival from which we have had some results. Sunday was a glorious day, it being our communion in remembrance of our Lord. A spiritual feast was enjoyed by all. A union service was held with S. Gallia Baptist Church in the after moon, which was well attended. The Sunday school closed their campaign with a rally. Each was marked with success. Some of the visitors who worshiped with us Sunday were Rev. R. H. Pryor of Dallas, Tex., and who answered an excellent sermon at the H. Clock service. Rev. R. H. Hamilton, Assistant Field Secretary of the Pub. Board of the National Baptist Con.; Rev. R. B. Smith, formerly of this city, new of Chicago, accompanied by his brother, a resident of Denver, Colo. We were glad to have visitors and welcome you in our midst. Sunday, Oct. 13th, the Mission Circle will hold their monthly meeting. Some splendid musical numbers are to be heard in connection with important business, as the State Convention is near at hand, of which our pastor, Rev. R. W. Dunavant, is the secretary. He will depart in the near future for Fulton, as will Mrs. Louise Springer and Mrs. Lulu Alexander, who will represent Leonard Avenue Mission, Circle at the convention. Your presence is welcome. ST. PAUL A. M. E. NOTES Sunday marked the close of the Annual Conference year with the A. M. E. churches in St. Louis and many found their way to services both night and morning. Dr. Johnson being unable to preach our young hero in the ministry answer the roll call and preached from, the 44th verse and 11th chapter of St. John, "The Resurrection of Lazarus," was the theme of this young man's discourse, and he truthfully brought out more points on the duty of a Christian in connection with that subject, than it has been the writer's privilege to hear. It can be clearly seen that no obstructions will prevent this young man from going to the highest rungs in the ministerial career. After services, Dr. Johnson appeared in the pulpit. Though weak, his very appearance had a decided effect on the congregation. Contrary to the instructions of his physician, he arose in his dignified way and thanked the friends and members for the efforts being put forth in interest, of the conferences and immediately back to his room, where he has been confined the past two weeks, to try to gain sufficient strength to answer the roll call Wednesday morning at the Annual Conference. At 3 o'clock the Liberty Loan drive of which Dr. D. W. Scott is chairman meet, and Dr. Scott handled the situation to the satisfaction of all present. At 7:30 o'clock Rev. Nichola, a young Baptist divine, delivered a powerful sermon. Just here, I wish to say that St. Paulus pulpit is often thrown open to Baptist ministers and their sermons always measure up to the standard Monday the "Harvest Home Committee" served dinner. Their effort eclipsed any efforts made herefore. Tuesday night class meeting was a record breaker. If nothing prevents, the pastor will be able to fill his pulpit Sunday morning to the delight of the members. He is preparing a special sermon and a special invitation is extended to visitors and strangers. M.T.

The First Corinthian Baptist Church at Brooklyn, Ill., had the discursive pleasure of listening to an eloquently forceful sermon delivered by the distinguished Rev. Burns of St. Louis who changed pulpits with beloved Pastor, Rev. J. W. Gaines, who afterwards, upon learning of the death of a dear friend in Alton, Ill., was unable to fulfill the engagement in St. Louis, but returned in thanks to be in his pulpit. Rev. Brown brought some very interesting thoughts to us which were gladly received. The subject taken was "A Dear Child, which was very well handled by the able speaker. At 8 p. m. m. the pastor, J. W. Gaines, came on the scene, read the Scripture lesson and took his text, subject, "God Gave a Man a Job and He Quit It." After he had launched on his subject those who were present were made to feel that life was worth living. If we only adopted the proper attitude toward the Creator and fellowman. The spiritual tide was so high it attracted the attention of the passenger who seemed to be so imbued with the fire and the Holy Ghost that all presence evil banished and old Satan was compelled to leave the spiritual edifice temporarily at least. Next Sunday morning the pastor, Rev. J. W. Gaines, is going to preach a sermon on the subject, "The Effect of a Man Tellin' His Christian Experience." Don't fail to hear him. The church is rapidly growing, the membership is having an increase. God blessed us spiritual and financial. Invitation to all—Rev. J. W. Gaines, Pastor, Wm. West, Clerk. MT.

CHURCH 6216 Well Avenue Bethel Sunday School has a patrificio Sunday school teacher, Miss Adele Parker, and a number of loyal scholars. By her efforts the Colored and white children in the vicinity had a sham battle in interest of the Red Cross. Miss Parker was ably aided in her efforts by Mrs. Browning and officers and minister of the church. The net proceeds were $2,000. The entire community supported Miss Parker's spirit and expressed a willingness to assist her in any future attempt. The task is to find boys enough to play the role of German in order to stage a sham battle. Not any of them wish to perform as German characters. Rev. J. W. Graham, Pastor. Paralysis Cured Huanewell, Shelly Co. Mo., Dec 29, 1885.—This is to certify that I have used Dr. Thurman's Embrocation 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 Embrocation, 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 crushes 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 Embrocation, and I feel very thankful that I got relief that cheap. Before I was blessed with using your Embrocation 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. Witnesses to the above—G. B.

AMUSEMENTS AND SPORT THEATRES The closing of all theaters on account of the influenza has left St. Louis without any form of amusement. Murray street, since Monday night, has been the quietest in its history. The theater managers have begun to prepare for presents of when they will be able to resume. At the Booker Washington, Imperial, Olympia, Retina, Comet, Moving Star and Bendham the managers will pitted that they would resume this week's program which they were permitted to open. No serial episodes will be stained. Patrons of the Comet Theater are perhaps more disappointed than others, because the big war picture over the Top failed to arrive in time to show Last Sunday and several thousand persons were turned away. The managers have planned to show the picture this Saturday and Sunday, but may not be permitted to offer so the picture will be shown on first Saturday and Sunday following the release of the Mayor's order to reopen. The Imperial and Booker Washington Theaters opened with good vauille bills, this week. Both will be ready with a star program at a moment's notice. The picture "America's Answer" at the Imperial, will be resumed when permitted. The specials on Tuesday and Thursday day as the Olympics will be taken up in the order they should Have appeared this week.

Edward Burwell, of Crew of 11 Negroes, Describes Remarkable Feast of Hog Island Workmen King Burwell, otherwise Capt. Edward Burwell, Negro leader of a gang of 11 Negro pile drivers - credits keebler lice with the inspiration which led his crew to break the record in driving plates on skin way No. 16, at Hog Island. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again, reads the placard on the pile driving machine to which he pointed, smiling, when he was asked how he and his men had happened to break the record. "That sign filled our crew with gritthusian," he said. "We decided one night that a new world's record wound, be made on the morrow, and it was. Of course, we had some mechanical troubles, but the men instead of fretting and fanning just looked up at the sign and started in with re reviewed vigor. The result was that the record was smashed. "I am glad that the record was made at dog island. Here, if a man can deliver the goods in getting the ships out on schedule time, he gets the same credit and appreciation whether he is white or black. It's a wonderful illustration of the spirit with which we are all working hand in hand to defeat the land grabbing, cruel Huns." 1000 BLACK OFFICERS NOW IN U. S. SERVICE New York, Oct. 20. There are now 11 Colored chaplains in the United States Army. It is expected that Colored chaplains will be provided for service at Camp Lee at an early date. 1.000 BLAC OKFICERS NOW IN THE SERVICE Washington, D.C., Oct. 10 — War Department officials state that since the Officers' Reserve Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, out of which came 639 Colored commissioned officers, and prior to the establishment of the training schools at Camps Taylor and Pike, 114 Colored men were commissioned as officers in infantry. In Camps Taylor and 35 in Field Artillery; 107 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 form going 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. New barracks 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 or army cadmil officials. The opportunities offered young Colored men through the Committee on Education and Special Training are being centered with eagerness, 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 thus turning out specially trained men fo rits manifold needs, is meeting with universal approval and is to be continued indefinitely. By next July it is, estimated that 200 young Colored men will have received this training) in some of its forms. Charles Harris, leader of the Commonwealth Band, of Baltimore, M.D. has been appointed assistant leader and will soon go to France with one of the Colored organizations. After six months he will be made a second lieutenant. High officials in France are said to be exceedingly fund of the "jazz" music furnished, by the Colored bands General Petain recently visited a sector in which there are American troops and had "the time of his life" listening to a Colored band playing the popular "jazz" music, with some Negro dance stunts in keeping with the spirit of the melodies. He warmly congratulated the Colored leader. NEGRO SELLLS THREE AERIAL BOMBS TO U. S. GOVERNMENT Columbus, Ga., Oct. 11. (Special.) Julius Hart, Colored, chauffeur for Dr W. L. Bullar, has invented three aerial bombs, which promise to net hints a fortune. Two have already been accepted, by the government one of them at a price of $15,000, while the price for the other has not yet been announced. The bombs shoot in different directions, one 50 times before the chin explosion comes, another 60 times and a third 1,000 times before the final discharge. Hart, who is 25 years old, is a former resident of Union Point, Ga. He got some of his ideas from Ident Bentley Chappell, who told him of various ingenious bombs used on the battle front - Atlanta Constitution. COLORED SOLDIERS WRECK POLICE STATION Norfolk, Va. Oct. 10—An infiltrate crowd of 300 Colored soldiers from Camp Merrifield take Friday night completely wracked the Second precinct police station here in an attempt to rescue two soldiers who had been arrested on a frenzied charge. Nearly all the windows were broken by flying bullets, bricks and bottles before the officers could open on them wit ristols. Ten Colored soldiers and civilians were shot in the exchange of bullet before the arrival or police reserves and naval guards, who added the off cers in quelling the rioters. Several of the wounded at the hospital are said to be in a precarious condition. COLORED DRAFTTE SHOULD RETURN WITH CROSS OF HONOR Johnson, O.

COLORED: MAN GETS 50 POUNDS .OF: SUGAR MONTHLY FOR HOME Farmer Who Is Feeding 24 Children Appeared to Food Administration and Wins Dallas, Tex. Oct. 10. Steve Rose borough, a Negro farmer of Dallas County, has been allowed more sugar for table use than any other person in Texas. Steve is the father, and guardian of 24 children, who are now with him, and he complained because grocerymen would not sell him more than 10 pounds of sugar a month. Steve appealed to the State Food Administration, and showed that he was entitled to 50 pounds of sugar a month on the basis of two pounds for each person. He has been given authority in purchase that amount. Besides the 24 children and wards Steve has three boys on the 18 fronts in France. Steve produced 30 bales of cotton this year, and has disposed of it at around 23 cents. He is 60 years old, and has invested in Liberty bonds. Thrift Stamps and various war fund enterprises. Every Citizen Should Help Fight Sabotage Policing War Work Is a Patriotic Service Open to Men, Women and Children Everywhere It is a wartime duty of every citizen to be a policeman for Uncle Sam under the "sabotage law;" to keep eyes and ears open for attempts to injure or destroy war material, war premises or war utilities. Offenses covered by the "sabotage law" can be committed by the individual alone and unalided anywhere—in factory and shop, storehouse, grain elevator, village garage, blacksmith shop, railroad yard, at a country railroad crossing or on the farm, as well as in shipyard or munition plant. Hence the need of many eyes to watch for them. The seriousness of these offenses is indicated by the penalties: A fine up to $10,000 imprisonment up to 30 weeks, or both. They are of two general classes: 1. Witfully injuring or destroying, or attempting to injure or destroy, any war material, war premises or war utilities. 2. Witfully making or causing to be made in a defective manner, or attempting to make or cause to be made in a defective manner, any war material, or any tool, implement, machine, utensil or receptacle used in making, producing, manufacturing or repairing war materia. To get an idea of the widespread possibilities of "sabotage," note the definitions of "war materials," "war premises," and "war utilities," damage to which is "sabotage:" "War material" includes: Arms, armament, ammunition, live stock, clothing, food, foodstuffs and fuel; also supplies, munitions and all other articles, or any part or ingredient thereof, intended for, adapted to, or suitable for use in the conduct of the war. "War premises" includes: All buildings, grounds, mines, or other places where war material is produced, manufactured, repaired, stored, mined, extracted, distributed, loaded, unloaded or transported, together with all machinery and appliances therein contained; also all boats, arsenals, navy yards, camps, prisons, or military and naval stations. "War utilities" includes: All railways, electric lines, roads of every description, railway fixtures, canals, locks, dams, wharfs, plers, docks, bridges, buildings, structures, engines, machines, mechanical contrivances, cars, vehicles, boats, air craft or any other means of transportation; all dams, reservoirs, aqueducts, water and gas pipes, storehouses, and buildings used in connection with water and gas works, all electric light and power, steams or pneumatic power, telephone and telegraph plants and poles, wires, fixtures, buildings or structures connected with them. Keep eyes and ears open and report suspicious acts to the nearest representative of the United States government or of the state council of defense. FOR THE POULTRY GROWER Fowls, like pigs, do the best and make the most rapid growth all through the summer season, if plenty of tender green feed is provided, says a writer. Even in towns and villages where there is plenty of space, this green feed can be provided in abundance for the poultry. It is, however on the farms, both large and small and where large flocks of fowls are kept, that this green feed should be provided. As the fowls are, or should be, excluded from the gardens and truck patches at all seasons, some other spot must be used for providing the green feed. The two crops to sow periodically are rape and oats. Many poultry breeders provide these, but make only one sowing and that about April and May. Repeated sowings for a regular succession of fresh, tender stuff is recommended. As the early sowing of both oats and rape is now growing scarce and getting tough reptile the ground and resow again in August. The larger the young chickens get the more they will eat of such tender green feed and as it is both cheap and healthful, the more expensive feeds are saved. The idea is to produce mature poultry and an abundance of eggs at the minimum of expense, and the work of providing green feed must be begun early and continued all through the growing season. Salaries Paid to Principal Officers of United States The salaries of the principal officers of the United States government are as follows: The president, $75,000 a year; vice president, $12,000; members of the cabinet, $12,000; representatives in congress, $7,500; speaker of the house, $12,000; United States senators, $7,500; chief justice of supreme court, $15,000; each associate justice, $14,500. In the diplomatic service twelve ambassadors are each paid $17,500 a year; five ministers are each paid $12,000, and 23 ministers are each paid $10,000. An authority says: "It is a matter of common knowledge that certain posts, especially in the diplomatic service, entail expenses so much in excess of the salary paid that they can be accepted only by men of wealth. A recent secretary of state who did not maintain an elaborate establishment, said that his four years in office cost him $40,000 in excess of the salary which he received." For Meditation. Fools may rush in where angels fear to tread, but observation teaches us also that fools are the ones who are draft evaders. The trouble with some men is that they are always expecting somebody else to make a good job for them. It's the exception that keeps the divorce courts busy. The majority of people make matrimony a life contract. Failure is always waiting around the corner for the man who thinks himself too wise to fall. What 9,000 Girls Do. Nine thousand girls of all ages in the state of Washington pledged themselves to spend the summer in planting and handling crops. "The proper place for the Negra, and the only place for the Negro, is here, in America. Some times the ways of God are dark and inscrutable, but out of the gloom, the uncertainty and the storm, the sun scenes forth in all its noonday splendor and the world has become more lit, for the rising of the King of Glory. The Gameness Is Requisite to Successful Pitching, Says This Brawny Right-Hander The difference between a successful and an unsuccessful major league pitcher is oftentimes shown in a disposition to let down in the pinches. Larry Cheney, the big right-hander of the Robins, is the authority for that statement, and Larry has been under the big tent long enough to know. "Pitchers make their mark in the big league because they refuse to waver in the pinches. The man who lets down is a gone cep, for it is only L takes the boys about two games to get on to some of your little weak points. If they know that you'll let down, they'll stand in there and wait for your soft one, and then—good night. "Some pitcheres are unlucky. Wheeler Dell was one of those fellows. He had a lot of stuff with us, but it never got him anything. He'd pitch the wrong sort of ball sometimes—just do it—and so it went. Being in a hole doesn't bother me. If I had five wild pitches in a row I'd take the sixth rather than send a naked fooster up to the plate." What Inspired Student to Compose the Hymn "America" The well-known hymn beginning "My country, tis of thee" and known by the name of "America," was written by the Rev. Samuel Francis Smith. He was born in Boston, October 21, 1806; was educated at Harvard and studied theology at Andover; was for many years a Baptist minister and later did other church work. In a letter concerning the poem the author said: "It was written at Andover during my student life there and was first sung publicly at a Sunday school celebration, July 4, at Park Street church, Boston. I had in my possession a number of song books from which I was selecting such music as pleased me, and finding God Save the King. I proceeded to give it the ring of American patriotism." Well-Known Landmark. One of the best-known landmarks on the Mississippi river is gone. A tall yewmorner tree that stood on the Arkansas shore near Memphis, and which for more than fifty years served as a mark for river pilots, has been determined by the action of the water, and fallen into the river. Mark Twain was one of the famed pilots who held the packstaff of his boat on the tree. "And as the Colored race is with us his salvation and our salvation requires that he be educated, not only in the primary grades, but in secondary schools and colleges, with men and women of their own race to teach them to think and act upon all public questions themselves and not from prejudice, and to teach their people the duties of citizenship, to teach them to be sober, indulgent and theatrical, so that they may be beter citizens and may by their correct living and right living used for them The Bevo Smile What Is a Home Without Orange Whistle, the $1.00 Per case of 24 B Get our prices for your Pie Outings.
