NO. 30 TURPIN THE UNITE WORK CA St. Louis Must Raise Money Is Needed For The Welfare of paign Runs Novembl New York, Nov. 5. —Colored American camp throughout the country are called on to take an active part in the United War Work Campaign, organized at the request of President Wilson, which will be conducted during the week of November 11, 1918, to raise $175,000,000 to help promote the welfare of our soldier boys. The co-operating organizations in the drive will be the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A., National Catholic War Council, Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Association and the Salvation Army. While the Colored enlisted man has largely benefited through several of these organizations, the funds to be raised will make it possible for him to be accorded even more friendly attention. Many thousands also will be used by such organizations as the Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A., toward improving the condition of the Colored young woman, in the United States. COLORED GIRLS IN WAR WORK New York, Nov. 5. —Cleaning taxi-cabs, serving as waitresses, making tins can, acting as freight handlers, working in stock yards turning out munitions, and qualifying as valets COLORED WAR C HAS ARRIVED RALPH W. TYLER OFF TO THE FRONT SOLDIER BOYS AND TO TELL OF WORLD DEMO Paris, France, September 25—I have just reached this city, after a ten days' voyage, which was, for the most part, uneventful. We experienced delightful wather from the time we steamed out of New York's harbor until we cast anchor in a port over here. Had it not been for the democratic spirit, prevailing aboard the big liner and which gave me a most satisfactory taste of this "world democracy" for which the Allies are fighting, I might have considered the voyage monotonous. Aboard the ship was quite a galaxy of notable writers for the big dalles and magazines; feature and fiction writers who were taking a respite from that occupation to write "straight stuff" for dalles they arp to represent. Among them were celebrities like Will Irwin, Robt. W. Ritchie, Damon Runyon, H. J. Pereman, erstwhile managing editor of Collier's and Applesgarth, known as "Appy" by the pencil pushers and readers, of the Pittsburgh Post. Each and everyone of these notable writers former newspaper reporters seemed to make me forget—which I did—that my skin was several shades darker than theirs, and by so doing to convince me that this world democracy for which the Allies are fighting is neither a barren ideality or a rainbow theirs, and by actual probability 'whose advance courser is discernible with the naked eye. The treatment accorded me by the newspaper men aboard was typical of the treatment accorded me by all the other passengers. Among the nearly two thousand souls making the ship's passenger list were many Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. Y. W. Salvation ainwshte, aoshrd tanhird C. A. Kailts of Columbus and Salvation Army workers. These all displayed a most, hotable evidence of a healthy spirit of democracy by their fraternizing as if they were all members of the one and same organization. Among the Y. M. C. A. workers aboard were five Colored secretaries, Fritz P. Canaler, of Knoxville, Teen. Thomas M. Clayton, of Pinga, Ohio. F. L. Clark, of Leavenworth, Kansas. D. D. Mattocks of Philadelphia, and D. W. Jackson of Louisville, Ky. The Y. M. C. A. certainly made no mistake in selecting these five men for overseas duty, for they represent the Marest type in the race, and by their bearing won the respect, and even admiration of all on board the ship. Diversions of Service Battalion Aboard Ship Aboard the shin, also, was, a Col- ered service battalion belonging to an The St. Louis Argus to locomotives are just a few of the many jobs to which Colored girls have turned their energies, to help Uncle Sain defeat the Hun. At first, they offered themselves to fill the unskilled positions that needed immediate occupancy; but later they were put into jobs demanding more brain work and were found capable. Now there are over 1500 Colored girls working in one mansion plant alone. Out in Chicago a Colored woman who was an expert caterer took a group of race girls and trained them to be cooks—not just ordinary prewarm cooks, but regulation Hoover chefs—and the time and patience put into this service was donated by the woman, as part of her war work. Wherever there are great numbers of girls working in an industry, away from the influences of home, there naturally arises a housing problem. Where there are large groups of Colored girls the problem is even more serious; but so adequately has the Y. W. C. A. handled the situation that several plants employing numbers of girls have sent to the Blue Triangle and asked for workers. The same care is given to these girls which is given to white workers.

One (Continued on page 8.) AFTER THE WAR Many Months Before Boys Come Home. St. Louis went wild Thursday when the false report was sent out by the United Press Association that armistice had been signed, and the war was over. Pandemonium reigned supreme. Business was suspended and thousands of men, women and children, and several bands of music paraded the streets. Shortly after the news became general a one-gren bugler belonging to the Pythian Band, despeded out on Market street, near Jefferson and scoundred the "recall" Hall of the band boys are "over here." In the evening The Boosters" "ub, with a band, paraded the central district and Scullin's Band serenced the Colored business houses. All these demonstrations were in a down pour of rain. 'Long Time Before Shows Return' An armistice does not mean peace. It is merely a temporary cessation of hostilities agreed upon by opposing forces. Peace will only come after many months of parlay by the Allies and Germany. While this is going on, it will be necessary for the Allies to maintain their full military strength. Our armies will not be mastered out of service until all demands are settled. It may be a year before boundytes, indemnities and independencies are decided upon, and it may be another year before all of our boys can be sent back home. If you have received a questionnaire don't fall to all it out and send it into your ward board. The war will not simply alter, even if an armistice is signed. Wm. H. Smith, 4125 Fairfax, pre-production at the lumbershop and presses prior at 1006 N. Sarah St. died Monday after a month's illness, he having suffered of a paralytic stroke. He was buried Thursday afternoon. Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 8, 1918 WHEATLEY BRANCH MAKES FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE SANDS'GIFT Several weeks ago we made a brief announcement of the gift of some six thousand dollars to the Wheatley Branch of the Y. W. C. A. We are wondering if our friends and the general public of St. Louis realize the magnitude and importance of this announcement to the life of our city. Six thousand dollars is a large sum, and given by one man to one institution is a big thing. Some questions of interest to all of us naturally arise: Who was the donor? Who awakened his interest to such an extent that he was willing to give so large a sum to the welfare of our women and girls, and to entrust it to the Wheatley Branch, to be used for that purpose? What has been done with the money? It has been possible to secure only the barest facts about the donor, George Lincoln Sands, a St. Louisan of simple life, noble impulses and broad views. He accumulated quite a fortune and at his death, which occurred Nov. 21st, 1916, a number of St. Louis charitable institutions received. substantial sums. His widow Mrs. Sands, still lives in St. Louis and seems to have fully concurred with her late husband, in his efforts for uplift The gift was secured through the efforts of Miss May B. Belcher. Miss Belcher came to St. Louis six years ago as local secretary. The condition of the association at that time and one year ago, when Miss Belcher left the local field to take a larger work is generally known. During those years she went among us in a quiet, modest way, meeting all classes and types of people with but one interest and one purpose: to help the womanhood of St. Louis in a larger, richer and fuller life—the more abundant life of the Master. She sought to do this through the Y. W. C. A.—the one big organization of the world whose sole purpose is to meet the needs of women and girls—for by means of it, appeal can be made to all women and girls irrespective of class, creed or denomination, and her services were given unreservedly. It is not possible to estimate the work done here by Miss Belcher, as it is impossible to place a nominal value upon the effects of a good life in any community. It is enough to say that it was she who led the group of earnest, faithful women who gave themselves to the work of the Wheatley Brauch and with the help of friends, she secured the large donations which have made the work possible. Miss Belcher has been called to a larger field under the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A., and is giving herself to that work as unreservedly as she did here and with the success which must follow such service as she gives. So it is with greatest pleasure that we, the Board of Managers, formally announce this large gift secured by Miss Belcher during the closing days of her administration. Two installments have come to us in the form of cash and interest paying bonds. Of the cash one thousand seven hundred seventy seven dollars and thirty-three cents (41,777.33) has been used to clear all indebtedness made during her administration which closed Oct. 1, 1917. Four hundred eighty dollars (4480) in money and bonds to the amount of fifteen hundred (1500) bearing 5 per cent interest, payable semiannually, are in the bank as a nucleus of an endowment. A third installment is yet to come. In these days when appeals are coming to us, so rapidly seeking our aid for Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps, the great war work of the Y. M. C. A. Y. W. C. A. Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army and the appeal of our own Pine Street Branch for funds to finish their magnificent new building, let us not forget our work at the Wheatley Branch. Let all loyal citizens in St. Louis, help us realize the possibilities of the Branch in making a bigger, better womanhood among our people to greet those, bigger and better men who it will return to as when this great war is over. Let all subscriptions be paid, let money be given as appeals are made. Let every woman and girl realize that the association is something which belongs to her, that here is a place where she may get or give; where she may serve; or be served. Detus us rally to its support as the men are rallying to the support of their work. Let us sive, get money, join any of the activities of the departments, or help develop these activities. There is a price for every woman and girl in St. Louis. Don't COLORED UNIT TAKEN OVER BY CENTRAL COMMITTEE COUN- CIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE The St. Louis Woman's Committee Council of National Defense has enlarged its committees to meet the needs of conditions heading up to and immediately following the close of the war. The Council desires to bring the registration file of the departmental work up to date and to establish the support of every woman who is not already serving a particular department. Our future plans provide that the chairman of the Colored Women's Unit will be a member of the Board of Directors of the St. Louis Woman's Committee, thereby coming in closer union to the central organization as head of a department instead of coming as a separate unit. Every departmental head will receive direct, orders through the chairman of the Central Committee. Our first work is the United War Work Campaign to be co-posed Nov. 11 to 18. We desire the registration of every woman who registered for service to the Government. The women who have been working in their wards and precincts under their respective chairmen are urged to continue but we request that each worker send a duplicate copy of the work done by her to the St. Louis Woman's Committee. Council of National Defense, Department 3, in order that each department may receive due credit for work done by their women. The office of the St. Louis Woman's Committee, Council of National Defense will be enlarged at an early date and space will be provided for the Colored Women's Department, which will be known as Department 3. This department will be in charge of Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley as chairman, with her department heads. But notice of the new location will be given. Mrs. Haley is now revising the registration list of the Colored Women and organizing the departments. Until notice of new location is given call for further information at the old headquarters of the Colored Women's Unit, 209 N. Jefferson Ave. Every patriotic woman is urgently requested to call and be assigned to some committee for service.

Special to The St. Louis Argus. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 4. Bishop R. A. Carter, of the C. M. E. Church scored another signality victory last week when he closed a deal with the officers of Park Avenue Church which turned that $100,000 church and all of its furnishings over to the C. M. E. denomination. This is considered the best bargain that has been made in this city in recent years. First services were held Sunday when Bishop N. C. Cleaves of Memphis, Tenn., silver-tongued orator, delivered a great sermon at 11 o'clock and Editor J. Arthur Hamlett of Jackson, Tenn., spoke at night. Drs. N. L. Smith of St. Louis; W. H. Parker of Gary Ind., and W. S. Ferguson of Milwaukee, Winter and Bryson of this city took part in the services. Bishop Carter is a great missionary and is planting his church throughout the North and East. THREE CHILDREN LOCKED IN HOME BURNED TO DEATH Elder Sister Made Them Prisoner When She Went to Store and Fire Started. Three children of Marshal Cole, a Negro, were burned to death when the Cole's cottage, in Kinloch Basker, St. Louis County was destroyed by fire at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. The children, 5 years old, 2 years old and 4 months old, had been locked in the house by an elder sister, Annih Cole. Cole is employed at the Wagner Electric Co.'s plant and the mother is employed as a laundress in St. Louis. Annih had been left in charms of the children and when she went to a store to get provisions, for lunch she locked them in a room where a small coal stove was used for heating. A neighbor saw flames from a window and surrounded the alarm. The use was burned to the ground. be a shacker. If someone has given $6,000 to the Wheatley branch, another $15,500, the gift of one woman to St. Louis to purchase and equip the present building, how much of your money, your time strength and energy, will you give? Board of Managers Whettley Branch Y. W. C. A. THREE RACE MEN ARE ELECTED TO ILL. LEGISLATURE Special to The Argus. Chicago, IL., Nov. 7.—Ion Adelbert H. Roberts, Warren G. Douglass and Editor S. B. Turner have been elected members from the Chicago district as members of the Illinois Legislature. Mr. Roberts is a widely known crator and clerk in the Municipal Court; Warren Douglass is a lawyer of splendid literary attainments and S. B. Turner is editor of the Illinois Idea, this being his second time to be elected to the Illinois Legislature. The County of Cook went Democratic and Charles Griffin and Col. J. H. Johnson, members of the race, lost for the office of County Commissioners. Medil McCormick carried Illinois for the Senatorship by a plurality of 60,000. He is a Republican and was endorsed by the Chicago Defender. Y. M. C. A. Teams. Almost as much excitement as the Senatorial race created was caused last Sunday morning when the Y. M. C. A. captains began to make their reports on the Furnishing Drive. Since December the 5th is the final date for the closing out of the Furnishing Drive it is useless to predict which team will carry off the honors. Three hundred dollars was reported last Sunday by the teams. The Pullman team, with T. A. Crenshaw as captain, nosed out the Invincible team, John R. Pinkett, captain, which team had held first place up to that time. Mr. Crenshaw gives credit for the splendid showing made by the Pullman team to the ladies who were his lieutenants. They were: Mr. H. Henley, Mrs. Gerfrade Dunbar, Mrs. Grant Bleddus and Mrs. Wormley, Mrs. Bleddus, who is the absence of Mr. Crenshaw, reported for the Pullman team; promised for the Pullman-team to give the winner a tight run. The Titeless team, under the leadership of Fred F. Blank, running third. The following teams, besides the ones mentioned above, made reports last Sunday: Team 9—C. H. Brown, Captain. Team 4—F. B. Reddick, Captain. Old Rellandus—N. Harrison, Capt. Old No. 8—T. A. Marshall, Captain. No. 3—J. W. Myers, Captain. Young Ladie' Team—Miss Barbee, Captain. Ever Ready Team J. C. Tyler, Captain. Campaign Committee. The Captains will meet Sunday morning for reports and conference. At the Y. M. C. A. headquarters it was announced that the whole firm of Harris & Son, Druggists, had joined the new Y. M. C. A. Mr. F. P. Blair wrote out application blanks for Mr. E. L. Harris, Sr. and E. L. Harris, Jr. These applications were accompanied by the new fee of $7 for the full men's privileges, and $4 for the boys' privileges. They were the first members to join the Y. M. C. A. at the new rate. Mr. E. L. Harris was a member of the original Campaign Committee and has contributed $150 toward the Building Fund. There is a great jubilee at the Y. M. C. A. headquarters over the election of Selden P. Spencer, who is a high officer in Y. M. C. A. circle, and from the start has been a supporter of the Pine Street Department. CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION The United States Civil Service Commission announces an open competitive subclerical examination, for men only: Vacancies in St. Louis, Mo. and vicinity, in the positions of messenger, skilled laborer and watchman at $750 to $200 a year, will be filled from this examination, unless it be found in the interest of the Service to fill any vacancy by registration transfer or promotion. The term "skilled laborer" as here in use is not intended to embrace the mechanical trades, which are commonly referred to as skilled labor. In the present meaning a skilled laborer is one whose duties are general or miscellaneous, below the clerical and minor clerical grades, and above the grade of mere manual labor. Appointment to one of the positions will permit to remove the name of an eligible from the register for all of them. Competitors, will not be required to report for examination. But will be rented on the following subjects, which will have the relative weights indicated. Subjective Weight 1. Physical ability 40 2. Training and experience 60 Total 100 If you see him The Argus it is true No Unofficial Tabulation Of District Candidates. Must Wait For Official Count To Get Figures. Negro Auxiliary Does Efficient Work. All indications point to the election of Chas. H. Turpin to the office of Constable in the Fourth-District and Dr. Wm. M. Riley. Representative in the Legislature. No figures were obtainable when The Argus went to press, on account of the fact that no unofficial tabulation of district candidates was made by the Election Commissioners Tuesday night. It will be necessary to wait until the official count is finished to get the figures. This will probably be done by Saturday. There is very little doubt about Turpin's election as he was supported almost to a man by Colored voters. On the other hand, Homer G. Phillips, independent candidate for Justice of the Peace, ran low in Negro districts because it was necessary for a man, voting, the Republican ticket, to scratch a candidate and write Phillips' name in. This was difficult for many to do and may have been the cause of his defeat. Dr. Riley was carried in with the Republican landslide, regardless of the fact that a systematic canvass was made against him my prejudiced whites. Turpin will qualify and take the office as soon as his election is confirmed. NEGRO AUXILIARY Aaron E. Malone, chairman of the Negro Auxiliary to the Republican State Comm. was very jubilant over the success of the G. O. P. in the state. He stated that, he was highly pleased with the results, and if it had not been for the "flu," larger majorities would have been rolled up for Judge Spencer out in the State. Mr. Malone, with his corps of assistants, is credited with having done some very good work and it was felt throughout the State. Entire City Ticket Elected The entire Republican City ticket was elected by majorities ranging from 15,000 to 25,000. St. Louis gave REV. N. A. MITHELL SLANDERED AND FILE & BUIT FOR $25,000. Rev. N. A. Mitchell, who operates the Utopia Hotel, 2847 Morgan St., has brought suit against Sam Glasgian, who resides at 4329 Delmar Ave. owner of the building occupied by Mitchell for alleged slander, etc. Mitchell says his damages amount to 425,000, dor which amount his attorney, Crittenden Clark has filed in the City Court. NEGRO CHEMIST OF MOSCOW IN VENTS AN INCENDIARY SHELL. According to a letter received by the Commercial, Clifton V. Berry, Negro, formerly of Moscow, has invented an incendiary shell which is now being manufactured by the Ordinance Department for the men overseas. Berry is a chemical and has been named on a committee on chemistry, the letter said. While in the service one arm was paralyzed and on going to Washington he was given a position in the U. S. War insurance of Fire, and will in a short time receive promotion, the letter said. Berry is a brother of F. B.

One of the wierdest booking weddings in army history occurred here last week, thanks to this inequality of an unnamed War Work Secretary who evolved a way to conduct it despite the influenza epidemic, and partial quarantine. It was a masked wedding in the base hospital with all of the participants wearing the population influenza masks and hospital roles. Walber J. M. McKenna, a private ill with influenza, was married to Miss Lillian E. P. Anne of Westport Conn. by Lieut James P. Howley, a Chapolin. Sixty other men in the ward were engaged a view of the ceremony by screens placed about the bed. The bride came from Westport with Daniel P. McKenna the bride-groom's father.

Seven Negro soldiers and five Porto Rican laborers are reported killed in rioting at the Government picnic and plant near here. Soldiers and naval reserves were sent to the scene. NEGRO, 78 YEARS OLD, MARCHED WITH SERVICE FLAG OF ELEVEN STARS Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 7 — In Atlanta's great Service Flag parade composed of white and Colored divisions, the star marcher whose picture was featured in the papers next day, was an old Colored named Isaac Sims. Though 78 years old he marched along with his service flag, with its eleven stars in two installations, one on each shoulder. Three of his sons are in France and eight more in the training camps. Three others registered September 12 and wait their call. What family is doing more toward bustling the Hum out of other towns "place in the sun?" NEGRO ASSISTANT TO ADJUTANT GENERAL Washington, D.C.

Butler was arrested by Constable Wengler on a charge of speeding in an automobile. Arraigned in Justice Ladd's court Saturday afternoon he said that while he is an employee of a St Louis automobile concern, he was more at home on the stage than behind a steering wheel and didn't realize he was exceeding the speed limit. He was a vandilofer performer, he explained, until the "ork or eight" law went into effect. Justice Ladd demanded that he entertain the court. Butler did with back and wing dancing, pigeon wagging, and instigations of Charlie Chipman "it's the first show I've seen since the ban went off" justice Ladd said. "You're discharged." Count matches gave Butler his fate home.

SOLDIER'S MOTHER BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS. She was middle-aged and pretty and Robert Dowling had watched her ever since he had settled himself in his comfortable Pullman seat in the great station. He was certain that she was somebody a mother, for it was the striking resemblance to his own mother that had at first attracted his attention. Now the train was sidetracked "somewhere in the middle West," in order to give right of way to loads of coal and trainload after trainload of foodstuffs being speeded on their way to the soldier boys across the sea. At last the young man summoned the temerity to go over and speak. "Do you mind my sitting down by you?" he asked, leaning over the sweet face and looking into the lovely blue eyes so like his own dear mother's in expression. Mrs. Pemberton moved toward the window and smiled a wonderful smile at the young man. "There is nothing at this moment that would please me more," she said. "It is for a boy just a little younger than you that I am anxiously traveling to get a sight of." she said. "Oh—then I was right. I knew you were somebody's mother. My own mother was much like you. Is your boy in—in the service, perhaps?" "Indeed he is," the woman answered proudly, "And he is on his way across country now on one of the trucks of the commissary department. There was a good chance of my seeing him in Detroit if our train had gone through—and" her face trembled, a little, but she steamed it bravely and resumed, "and I have made this long trip on that one chance of seeing him before he sails for the other side." Robert Dowling asked a number of rapidly formed questions. Then, excusing himself for a short time and promising to return, he left. He found the conductor and ascertained the distance from the station he knew to be not very far away, and then he started out, in bad weather and snow-bound roads, to find it. Dowling left word at one or two palets that he found out the commissary corps had to touch and then he sought out a country hackman, who took him back to the siding in a one-horse sleigh. Arrived in Detroit, Robert took Mrs. Pemberton to her hotel and hurried on to make his own business calls. "I shall come back tonight and I hope to have word of the wandering soldier boys by that time," he said, as he left her. Late that afternoon the mother's eyes were getting weary or a sight of her son, when she saw Robert Dowling living into the hotel foyer, apparent, looking for some one. "Oh," he breathed; nervously, "here you are." He said it half in relief, half in distress. Mrs. Pemberton scrutinized his expression. "What is it, 'boy'? "First—your son is all right. I'm going to take you to him in a moment. "The big trucks, two of them, went over an embankment just outside of the city and one or two men were badly hurt. Your son was on one of the overturned trucks and is a bit shaken up and looking for you in his room at the hospital. Shall I take you right to him? In less than ten minutes they were in a taxi cab on their way to the hospital, and when once Robert saw the lovely little woman grasped warmly in the arms of big big son as he sat straight up in bed, bumped head and all, he turned to go out of the room. As he stood in the door, he was face to face with the only girl who had ever made any difference in his life—Helen Worden. "Hilien—Robet," he gasped as he saw her uniform, "You—" But before he could finish he had sunk slowly to the floor. "Bobs—oh, Bobs," the little nurse breathed as she bent over him. Then the doctor came and Robert Dowling was quietly resisted to himself. "No soldier life for this young man," laughed the doctor, when Robert was all right. "He has a heart that can't stand any sort of shock." Helen had explained a few things to the doctor in the brief time in which they were trying to restore Robert to normal. "Oh—and I thought he was a—coward," she whispered. "That is why we—we are not married today. I broke engagement because he would not join up and he would not tell me why. He thought I should have known that he would if he could." Meantime, Mrs. Pemberton and her son had been anxiously waiting to hear from the room into which they had carried Robert. At last Pemberton's nurse and Mrs. Pemberton's train companion came into the tiny room hand in hand. "Well—I'll be—" "Careful, Jack," remonstrated Mrs. Pemberton. He's a Writer, finished wonderfully with all of everything. and explained everything. "So you see you got your reward for being good to an old lady," laughed Mrs. Pemberton. Only Cause for Regret. Jack I hear Smith broke a chair over his wife last night. Mabel—Yes, but he is sorry for it this morning. Jack Well, I am glad to hear he is sorry. Mabel—Yes, he is very sorry.

NEGRO'S GREAT FAITH IN GOD CAUSES HIM TO BE LOYAL AND TRUE In the days of the Civil War the Negro did not know it would result in his freedom for the issue upon which the war was fought was the preservation of the Union and not the maiming of the slaves; but freely and willingly the Negro volunteered to fight to save the Union, and went in this war two hundred thousand strong and just how noble and patriotic they fought; the battles of Fort Wagner Hillow, Petersburg and others will tell. the Negro's great trust and faith in God have been the force that has made him the kind of citizen and soldier that he is. He believe in the fible and believes in God, and be cause of this great faith he leaves his country and its flag and believes back of the flag stands his God; that's why. when he is lynched, burned at the stake, shot down like a dog, disfranchised, jim crowed, rejected and otherwise maltreated beneath, the folds of Old Glory, he never weakens, but with faith in God he looks up and says to the flag in the language of Job: "Though you slay me, yet will I trust, you," and to his government he says "All the days of my appointed time will I wait until my change comes." The Negro shall not be disappointed in his trust and hope—heart reeding and soul trying as is the sying of this terrible war at the present; there is yet to come a brighter and grander day for the Negro—the unfalling loyalty, unshaken faith and faultlessness, been portrayed by Negro for America and its nag, sham not return to him void. There is something infinitely greater and more enduring which is emerging already out of this bloody conflict—a new sentiment in favor of the race, richer, nobler and more exalted than ever before, is being moulded in favor of the Negro. While the American white man has trusted in his physical endurance and financial strength, the Negro has trusted in his blood and ever stood in his belief that God was directing the battle. When others saluted and refused to be comforted, the Negro has kept happy with his songs and prayers—the terrible ordeals which the war has brought have only seemed to draw the Negro closer to his God and each other and deepened his love for both God and man—God will deliver him and give him the desire of his heart. The God that led and delivered his forefathers up from the cursed chains of slavery, up in like manner, bring the race into its own. In these times, up out of the mire of race hatred and black prejudice of the white man, into the glorious sunlight of human freedom and liberty, equal rights and equal justice. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning." He who watches the Sparrow fall, is keeping tab on twelve million of his oppressed and persecuted people. Galveston New Idea.

More than a hundred bullets penetrated the aerodrome. The German appeared, over the quaint old town of St. Hie and swooped down to an attitude of less than 150 feet. He was forced to rise to clear the tower of the Hotel de Ville, but again: glided down and turned his machine gun on the principal street, despite the fact that many civilized men, women and children, were on the sidewalks. One civilian was wounded. Two Colored military policemen promptly unloaded their revolvers at the Hun. He climbed out of the range and passed over the city sliding down again when he discovered a company of Negro infantry, on the lake, resting under some trees. He turned loose his machine gun again. The company commander or officer his men to open fire. The lieutenant burst into flames and fell in a field a few hundred yards away. The pilot was killed.

Printing to The Argus Printing Plant Take your next important job of DEMOCRACY Democracy is Founded Upon Equal Duties and Equal Rights For All Citizens. REPUBLICAN VICTORY Adjudge Spencer, were the remarks made by the man of the Republican City Central Committee August. The remarks were expressions of the moral judgment. The remarks were of true and good mind, a clean man, and a clean race on the one hand, and possibly did not forsee the "clean sweep" Republican party at the polls last Tuesday. But the heart and purpose of the Republican party to win possible regretable mistake that was made, was to deal on the square with their fellow Democrat in the field against Mr. Igoe in the Tenth Congress, do so, there is no doubt, that one more Republican in the House of Representatives. The "drafted" man, after the Democrats failed to keep their promise, presented the insult and the false accusation that brothers who are now saving the country, by a national ticket. Those among us who have here democratic candidates turned against them on the attacks made my the Democratic leaders and Louis Republic. They were found returned proof of the matchless leader, Frederick Douglass, who a party is the ship, all else the sea."

REPUBLICAN VICTORY "We drafted Judge Spencer," were the remarks made by Hon. John Sehmull chairman of the Republican City Central Committee, before the remarks in August. The remarks were expressions of thought, insight and good political judgment. As is characteristic of true and great leaders, Mr. Sehmull had in mind a clean man, and a clean race on a clean principle. Of course he possibly did not forsee the "clean sweep" that was the reward of the Republican party at the polls last Tuesday. But is shown by the honesty of heart and purpose of the Republican party to win on merit alone. The only possible regretable mistake that was made, was by the leaders in their efforts to deal on the squirm with their fellow Democrats, failed to put a man in the field against Mr. Igoe in the Tenth Congressional District. Had they done so, there is no doubt that one more Republican would have a seat in the House of Representatives. The "drafted" method should have been used, after the Democrats failed to keep their promise, and put a man in the race. Negroes presented the insult and the false accusation made against them and their brothers who are now saving the country, by voting the straight Republican ticket. Those among us who have heretofore vested with and for Democratic candidates turned against them on last Tuesday on account of the attacks made my the Democratic leaders and their party Morgan—The St. Louis Republic. They were found returned proclaiming in the language of the matchless leader, Frederick Douglas, who he said. The Republican party is the ship, all else the sea." Those of us who had thought Mr. Folk was a pretty good fellow, adopted the Republican City Committee's slogan, "Good-bye Joe" because he was in the wrong pen. He congratulate Mr. Schmoll and the party he represents. NEGRO AUXILIARY REPUBLICAN PARTY United and working in perfect harmony with the Republican State Committee was the Negro Auxiliary, headed by Aaron E Malone, with efforts in the International Life Building of this city. The work of this committee in putting "pop" and enthusiasm into the Negro votory of the State had its most telling effect. Mr. Malone, who never boast of his political strategy, proved to be the right man in the right place. The results were wonderful, considering the being on, on account of the influenza. That he is a leader of men was shown by the fact that he had the most hearty co-operation of the new class of people throughout the State. We congratulate the State Committee on its wise selection in placing Mr. Malone at the head of the Auxiliary. We congratulate Mr. Malone because he was honored with the privilege of doing the thing that he long wanted to do—honor Judge Spencer. It is our hope that the present organization will remain intact, because it is now composed of good and active men of the race. And two years hence they will be able to do even better work than they did in this very limited time. A LESSON TO THE DEMOCRATS No one seems to be able to point his finger directly to any one cause for the Republican, and glide to the cause of the Democrat's operative intent. One fact stands out most prominently, that had its telling effect, was that the Democrats undertook, as they usually do, to win the election by abuse of the Negro, and by their constant inference that only Democrats were true loyal Americans. It is unfortunate for them that they allow that class among their number to lead and speak for their party who have only those antique ideas of doing things. The day of demands are last passing away. The men and measures who have in the past gained favor and risen by crushing the fuse fortunate of their fellowman are trowned upon today as losing unearly of serious consideration by the tankers and leaders who are doing the big things. The cry of Negro frandulent registration proved to be only a farce. Their charge that the Republicans were serrooked and dishonest was for the sole purpose of hiding their own souls. The results of last Tuesday's election in this State is but a mild warm-up. Future elections will be far more telling in effect than the past. Notwithstanding the desperate appeal of President Wilson, the people have administered a sound rebuke by their disapproval of a Congress made up of men who never do constructive work. It almost looked like a pity to see how far short the Democrat's ticket call of its expectations in this city and State. But, as was expressed by one of the successful Republican candidates, "The Democrat can always be depended upon to do the d—feel thing at the right time. It is their lack of good judgment and nonprogressiveness along the right line. This should be a lesson. HAITIAN MINISTER SUMMONED BY DEATH Washington, D.

To the Editor of The St. Louis Argus: Recently there has been so much said through the press anent the so-called tyranny of our present postmaster, the Hon. Colin M. Selph, that we feel it our duty to refute some if not all of the statements so made Some of us have been in the St. Louis Post Office upwards of thirty years and have served under several administrations, and can truthfully and conscientiously say that we have now the best and most efficient postmaster the City of St. Louis has ever known; a man who shows no partiality, treating one and all alike. The so-called tyranny so far as we have been able to see it, has consisted solely of an unmistakable demand that each and every one measure up to each and every requirement of his position, regardless of who he is or what his affiliations may be, and promotions have been awarded to those who have best met these conditions. if this is tyranny we prefer a tyrant, as it is only under such conditions that the honest endeavors of the deserving and meritorious ones may be properly rewarded and the spirit of our competition continue to exist. The St. Louis Post Office has been made a "no man's land" for slackers. The one imperative demand is his service and service par excel- We desire to state that the much disdain ordered to buy 'uniforms' is nonexistent, which is due chiefly to the fact that no such order has ever been issued, though many of us have worn khaki trousers, blue chambray shirts and blue aprons for many years and under other administrations and have profited greatly thereby. They are cheap to buy, next in appearance and are cheaply laundered, enabling one to save good clothing without loss in appearance. Mr. Selph has always submitted to the clerks a thought before putting it into execution and whenexpr such was unsatisfactory to them same was set aside. A more fearless and just man in the execution of the Government's ideas for efficiency - we have never known. In regard to the Thrift Stamps, War Saving Stamps and Liberty Bonds he has bursed every clerk to participate in the purchase of sames and made them the solemne promise where they were unable to do so that he would provide a way if they would come to him; to the end that the St. Louis Post Office should be one hundred per cent American.

A special effort will be put forth to please everyone. Courtesy and promptness is my motto. Don't forget that date. Give me a trial. Opening hours 8 a. m. to 12 m. l. p. m. to 6 p. m. Members of the Central Baptist Church, beloved in Christ: It is most gratifying the way you have stood by the church during these trying and meaningful days. In all probability the ban will be on this approaching Sunday. Let me suggest that the members in the various groups or in the same, blocks get together for a few minutes on next Sunday and put the following question each to the other: "Why. Should There Not Be a Great Revival of True Religion in the form of a Soul-Winning Campaign When the Churches Open Up Again?" I think that this is our opportunity. The deep hunger which is now in the hearts of all true Christians after God and a deeper spiritual life should express itself in grander gospel activity than ever before. Keep a close watch on the papers for the lifting of the ban and when we learn the church is open let us crowd old Central da never before. Kindly and lovingly continue to bring in the offering Sunday and the other days thus to help the officers to meet expenses. On account of funerals I have not been able to stay long at the church Sundays to meet the members, but I hope to be there from 11:30 to 2 p.m. Sunday. Yours, in Christ. Pastor Stevens.

His mother died when he was seven years of age, leaving besides himself, a brother, James N., a sister, Sarah and their father Ludwell Lee. The father moved north and located at Collinsville Ill., where he engaged in farming and remained there until his death in 1885. Like all Colored young men in those days, my brother Samuel sought employment in hotels, on steamboats and steamships. He was ambitions to see the world and traveled extensively, while my brother James and myself remained on the three children. He sold the greater portion of his interest to his brother and sister James E. Lee and Sarah E. Lee, to engage in the restaurant business in Chicago, Ill., and was quite successful for eight years. He then sold out the restaurant and went into the Pullman service where he remained for 57 years, having won the respect and favor of his employers by his faithful and satisfactory services. His health slightly failed in 1910, but he still remained at post of duty, thinking that it was only a little illness that would soon pass away. Mr. Lee was married to Miss Virginia M. Winbush of this city in 1912 at Collinsville, Ill., who made him a kind and devoted wife. In 1915 he was stricken with paralysis from which he never fully recovered, yet for a year or more he seemed to be improving until August 7th, the sad news, came to his kind and faithful wife, that he had fallen, after he had finished his daily duty, saying, "Take me to my wife." Mr. Lee was of kind and open-hearted nature, always ready to render a deed of kindness wherever it was needed and was temperate in every respect. He has also given assistance to young men and women in their educational efforts. Mr. Lep is survived by a master, brother, two nieces, two nephews and a devoted wife. The funeral services were held from St. Paul Chapel, where he attended for many years and had recently become a member. Rev. Johnson officiated, and spoke in kind and consoling terms. Undertaker W. C. Gordon had charge of the remains which werg laid to rest in Greenwood Cemetery. Mrs. Sarah Lee Jones, Sister. CARD OF THANKS I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks and gratefulness to officers and members of Lane Tabernacle and the many friends for their kind wards and generous deeds during the illness of my husband, Wm. H. Smith. I regret very much, however, that I cannot have the funeral service at the church so all the friends could attend, but owing to the closing order I could not—Mrs. Janie Smith.

MONROE ERNEST Grand Intrinsic Potentate of Medinah Temple No. 39 Many groups of citizens are pulling for the new "Y." The furnishing drive sees all groups shoulder to shoulder working to furnish the building in fine shape. One of the strongest groups is the Shriners' team under the captaincy of Monroe Ernest, one of St. Louis' popular Shriners and Illustrious Potentate of Medinah Temple. With the Shrine behind him and with his lieutenants, Lawyer Cri Clark and E. J. Victoria it looks like 100 per cent and "over the top" for the team of this popular organization.

At the next meeting of Medinah Temple of Shriners a detailed report of the boat excursion that was held under the auspices of the Arab Patrol will be made. Hon. J. I. Currin, ex-Graid Master of the Masons of Oklahoma, died at his home, at Dover, Okla., last week. Past Imperial, Potentafe George W. McKoin, member of Medinah Temple 39 of Shriners, has been nominated, appointed and commissioned deputy a large with power to represent the will and pleasure of J. M. Morris, Imperial Potentafe, who resides at Minneapolis, Minn. Noble McKoin is familiar with the inside affairs of the order and will prove a valuable asset to the Nobles of this desert, and of especial benefit, to the divan of Medinah Temple. Not so long ago, Mr McKoin was deputized by the Imperial, Potentafe to make a trip to the Mexican border, where four battalions of the Tenth Calvary are stationed and institute a Temple of Shriners among that body of men, but the master was deferred on account of the Influenza enodelem.

The war is "to make the world safe for democracy," the war is a "democratic war," and a "democratic peace" is demanded; "democracy" is sweeping over the world like a tidal wave. A Massachusetts Senator discussing the war and this frequent use of the word democracy said: "What do we mean by democracy?" It is well for the sober and thoughtful to pause and take note of the signs of the times and see where the Nation is drifting. "Democracy" is a much misused and abused word. It is employed for political purposes by certain leaders of thought who have set in motion forces that may overwhelm the civilized world, unless checked or directed safely. Ready these forces are almost beyond control in Russia, and anarchy and chaos is the result. Lennine and Trotsky, the Socialists: Zimotieff, the President of the Soviet: Shatoff, the I. W. W. leader of Russia; Uritzsky, the murderer and Peters, the Bolshevik assassin are the result. In England the British Labor party with its program of anti-capitalism and Free-Trade and Socialism; in America the Haywoods of I. W. W. fame and the Townleys of Non-Partisan League notoriety, are all the direct result of this repeated cry of "democracy," this attempt to make the war in Europe an excuse for a social and economic uprising that bids fair to bring disaster. The torrent is even now almost beyond-control. What is democracy? Is it a mob, a crowd of politicians, a class of citizenry white with rage and red with blood? Admitting there are evils in governments, including our own, why about humanity madly rush over the precipice into the seething abyss below? Is this the democracy of the constitution? Is this the democracy Lincoln had in mind when he told of a government "of the people, by the people and for the people"? The word "democracy" does not appear in the Declaration of Independence or the Federal Constitution. Our forefathers fought for liberty, not democracy, as it is defined today. The framers of the constitution did not organize a democracy 'but a Republic' "Democracy" today has become almost a by-word and a mockery, made by the radical Socialists and Free Traders. They are sowing the wind and will reach the whirlwind. To the radical Socialists, democracy means not only political, but social and industrial democracy - equality in participation of political, social and industry affairs. To the Free Traders, democracy means internationalism and a world federation, where all Tariffs and "economic barriers" are removed as far as possible. Is any sane man so blind as not to see where this will surely lead? And yet many apparently sober men and women, carried away with the ethical and theoretical ideas of national brotherhood, are encouraging these radical movements in the name of democracy. The war is primarily an economic war, and the forces of passion, of prejudice, of disintegration, and social and industrial poison are threatening disaster. What do we really mean by democracy? An orderly and law-abiding social organization where all citizens, both men and women, have an equal right to participate in public affairs, where the majority rules, and where that majority expresses itself through representatives. America is not a pure democracy but a representative democracy that is a Rebellion. Pure democracies have always failed. The hope of this Republic is not in the triumph of radical forces leaden to anarchy and chaos in the name of democracy, but in the supremacy of force that lead to law and order, to temperature, and safety, in all matters and to the full and complete Protection of American Institutions, American industries, and American citizens. America is a Republic, and as such needs the watchful and Protecting care of all. Americans have stood together in war, they should stand together in peace. A war of the classes will not bring about the welfare of democracy, but may mean the destruction of the Republic, and in that event the "people," the masses, will be the first to suffer - American Economist? ANOTHER LIBERTY LOAN COMING Secretary of the repayy McAdam has announced that no matter what the results of the pending overtures for peace may be, there will be an other Liberty Loan. To use his ex-ressure, "We are going to have to finance peace for a while, but as we have had to finance war." There are over 2,000,000 United States soldiers abroad. If we transport these men back to the United States at the rate of 200,000 a month, it will be over half a year before they are all returned. Our Army, therefore, must be maintained, victualed, and clothed for many months after peace is an actuality. The American people, therefore, having supported the Liberty Loan with a patriotism that future historians will love to extol, will have an opportunity to show the same patriotism in financing the just and conclusive victorious peace whenever it comes. need for a moment. Peace is the prettiest activity on SHT. examination that peace is to come on. Until peace is actually assured the attitude of the Treasury and the attitude of the whole United States Government is for the most vigorous prosecution of the war, and the motto of force against, Germany without stint or limit, will be acted up to until peace is an absolute accomplished fact. One more Liberty Loan, at least, is certain. The fourth loan was popularly called the "Fighting Loan;" the next loan may be a fighting loan, too, or it may be a peace loan. Whatever the conditions, the loan must be prepared for and its success rendered certain and absolute. Begin now to prepare to support it. CHURCHES SHOULD BE OPEN TO THE PEOPLE AT ALL TIMES Authorities Trust. More in Science Than They Do in God to Deliver Us From This Epidemic. Nashville Tenn. Nov. 7.—The Interdenominational Preachers' Alliance, composed of Colored ministers of Nashville, has prepared a statement in which the propriety of closing up the churches of the city on Sunday by the health authorities is questioned. The paper was drawn up by a committee from the alliance. They argue that the authorities trust more in "scientific certainty than they do in God to deliver us from this epidemic. In closing our churches on account of the Spanish influenza it looks as though we have enthroned ourselves on the confident edicts of science and are opposing the simplicity of the Divine teaching, and the intellectual pride of our minds has become our god." The ministers continue "Let us not forget that there is no certainty in science; it knows, no finality. It affords no place for the sole of the foot. The scientific knowledge of today will be the ignorance of tomorrow. Our intellectual knowledge in which, we glory, has become our spiritual poverty, and our faithfulness in God, if we are not careful, will be the unisonous vill that will cause our undoing." Quotations from the Scripture are used in the paper to bear out the contention that the church should be open to the people at all times as a sanctuary from their cares and refuge from their sorrows. A WORTHY APPEAL The National Race Congress of America at its last annual meeting, Oct. 1, 2, 3, authorized that a commission be sent to France at the earliest possible date to cheer and encourage our soldier's boys over there and to contribute in whatever way they can, to their comfort and welfare. Prominent men of the race compose, the commission. It will require at least $1,000,000 to bear the expense of this commission and we issue this appeal to the public, asking for contributions toward the fund. All checks or money orders here's purpose, should be made payable to A. A. Graham, corresponding and financial secretary, who will prompt acknowledge with official receipt. The money should be sent to A. A. Graham, Box 71, Phoebus, Va., or holdings 693, 303 Street N.W., Washington, D.C. In order to redefine the commission over there at early notice it should be in hand by December 1, 1943.

A superintends the recreation and amusement of these girls, and is closely in touch with their problems. Colored girls who have gone from the inner city to another that will out such a friend, ask that one be sent them, and so the good work spreads. One, factory, organizing for the recent Red Cross drive, wrote to the Y. W. C. A, requesting that one on their Colored workers be sent to conduct the drive among her people, since the superintendent of the factory felt she would most effectively achieve results. She came, and every Colored employee responded, except a few old people, who obviously could not afford to contribute. The Y. M. A., one of the seven organizations, Y. M. C. A., Y W. C. A., National Catholic War Council (K of C.) Jewish, Welfare Board, Aimers can Library Association, War Camp Community, Service, and Salvation Army—operating in the United War Work Campaign the week of November 11th, endeavors, in all its work among Colored girls in industry to train them in initiative, not only recreational, but industrial. Heretofore service prejudice has kept the Colored girls working in inferior positions, and the girls become discouraged at the start. Now industrial conditions and needs have changed their working status. There is being impressed upon them and upon the work the orientation that through increasing their abilities, they can advance industrially. Miss Mary E. Jackson: National Y.W.W.A special industrial worker among Colored women, with headquarters in New York, has supervision over the work of organizing Colored industrial, workers CLUBS FOR COLORED SOLDIERS New York, Nov. 5. The establishment of cities for Colored soldiers and sailors in cities so that the men may have a headquarters when they are away from camp on leave is an important function being successively performed by the War Camp Community Service. This work has developed greatly in the last two months and many new clubs have been formed. Clubs have been established by the War Camp Community Service in the following communities: New York, Boston; Camp Dix, N. I.; Baltimore, Alexandria, Va.; Richmond Va.; Petersburg, Va.; Newport News Va.; Norfolk Va.; Hampton, Va.; Southport, N. C.; Charlotte, N. C.; Asheville, N. C.; Seville, S. C.; Spartanburg, S. C.; Columbia, S. C.; Charleston, S. C.; Atlanta, Ga.; Augusta, Ga.; Macon, Ga.; Pennacola, Fla.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Montgomery, Ala.; Anniston, Ala.; Detroit, Mich.; Battle Creek, Mich.; Chillicothe, O.; Louville, Ky.; Rockford, Ill.; Des Moine, Ia.; Camp Funston District, Indianapolis, Ind.; Little Rock, Ark.; Waco, Tex.; Galveston, Tex.; and San Antonio, Tex. The policy of the Government in placing Negro battalions in each of the camps is said to have created a problem in some of the neighboring communities. This problem the War Camp Community Service is endeavoring to solve. Most of the cities have been destitute of recreational facilities suitable for many, of the Colored soldiers. The War Camp Community Service has been confronted with the necessity of adjusting Colored soldiers from the North to Southern cities and vice versa. The organization has not with a good degree of success in handling the situation and in providing the man with the forms of recreations which they most enjoy. Several of the Southern cities have formed parallel committees for W. C. S. one being for work among the white people, and the other among the Colored. The Colored committee works along the same lines as the white committee and practically all the activities are conducted. In all the cities the short is made to have the people of their own race undertake the management of the work as well as the actual entertainment of man. The acquiring of a club seems to be the best single answer to the problem of recreation for Colored troops. Not only does it serve as a headquarters for them but also most of the activities for the men seem naturally to center about it. Des Moines was a pioneer city in establishing a club for Colored soldiers. Prominent officers of the War Camp Community Service are Joseph Lee, president, Myron T. Her- lick, chairman of the National Finance Committee, William R. Jorvee vice chairman, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. member of the National Finance Committee and exSenator W Murray Crane member of the National Fin- ance Committee. The War Camp Community Service is one of the seven organizations which will conduct the United War Work Campaign week of November 17 to raise $170,000.

Gaskin, Herculaneum, Mo. The nations have deceived the world by a treaty declaring that there would be no more war, and they have had a reign of peace for one hundred years. The Hague Peace Conference with its builders, has been a failure. The nations assured the world that all international grievances would be settled by arbitration. Today it is broken by a culprit, one whom in the treaty at heart, and voiced openly that it was not necessary for a disarmament. Today he has held the defenders at bay for four long years. Now defeat is threatened him on every side. After his defeat will the next treaty stand in order to assure the world 'peace' for ever? I would for God it could but it will not stand. The crowned heads of Europe have tested, in many ways to preserve their loyalty through intermarriage. This Leans will not assure the world peace because of their kinship; for as iron and clay will not adhere, likewise the royal family will not form an adherence because of their kinship. The war is soon coming to a close, never the less rulers and statesmen, men of international ability are at a loss at their satue upon the field of battle and behold the slain of their relatives and friends, even the most peaceably inclined men have lost their senses and are wondering what next. Dark clouds have gathered around the nations, and the judgement of God has come. The plagues are falling upon the inhabitants, but the Ethiopian shall stretch forth his hand unto God for his second emancipation. Dr W. S. Soft, the German Colonial Secretary, in addressing an audience in Munich, stated that "Germany had no intention of militarizing 'Africa', but desired to prevent the employment of Colored men in Europe." All we ask, of Dr. Soft and all others who are opposed to the Negroes' progress and development here or abroad, to stand aside and give us a place in the Sun. This day we ask of the nations to sign and give us that right that we have fought for others to enjoy, even our enemies. Oh, Belgium, if it were possible that King Leopold could rise to see the Negroes he once oppressed by violence have come to give them freedom of equality from the hands of their pressors. Because of this fact we ask again of those who oppress us to stand aside and give us a place in the Sun.

Tyler Arrives In France (Continued from page 1.) of the songs which they frequently sang, and with a gusto which gave further evidence of their 100 per cent Americanism, and which never failed to elicit rapturous applause from the white passengers, was "Three Months from New York Will He Be in Germany." A mad man said that the waterers frightened Colored soldiers, but these Colored soldiers aboard the ship I sailed appeared as contented, self-centered and care-bereft on the big ship at night, when lights were out, as they were down in Alabama. Virginia, Mississippi and other Southern States from whence most of them came. Their contentment at sea and when in the submarine zone, constituted another disillusion. Among these troopers were some clever boxers and the monotony of "just sky and water" was frequently broken by some rattling beating matches between these troopers for pretty substantial purses which the white passengers contributed merely out of admiration and respect for these big brave black boys, who did not fear to come over here to fight for world democracy. An amazing incident took place the second day out. Forty or fifty of the Colored soldiers had formed a circle and were singing to their hearts' delight, and the delight of the passengers. One of them, seemingly, changed his voice with each song or hymn. "What do you sing?" called down from the upper deck, a good naked son of the Emerald Isle. Quick as a flash came the answer: Sometimes I sing bass and sometimes I sing soprano." And it was true, for in the chorus he adapted himself to the type of the song he was singing, to the circumstance, to the other singers, and above all, perhaps to his mood. Because, they, were lighthearted—cherful when going across the big waters it must not be accepted they were merely lighthearted because of lack of brain development, for many among them were bright, intelligent men, graduates of Howard University and other accredited schools. Off to the Front for News of "Our Boys" I shall tarry but a day or two here in Paris; only until I get my itinerary tentatively made out, and then I shall be off to the front where our Colored soldiers are stationed, and I go to the front with the same absence of fear that characterized the Colored troopers who sailed for France on the ship with me. In my next letter I hope to have been able to secure some real, permissible news about what the Colored soldiers—our boys—have done and are doing to maintain the race's traditional reputation for bravery, endurance and patriotism, and to help "make the world safe for democracy." If this world-democracy we are fighting for is like the sample I have been made acquainted with from New York to Paris; I have no doubt what they are putting up a whaling good fight to land the democracy pennant for the United States—our own and only country. INVALID FOR 18 YEARS Hunnewell, Shelby Co. Mo, Dec. 29, 1855—This is to certify that I have used Dr. Thurman's 'Embracation with the greatest results. I do say without the fear of contradiction that it is he best remedy for all bodily pain 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 Embracation, 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 Embracation, and I feel very, thankful that I got relief that, cheap. Before I was blessed with using your Embracation I expended hundreds of dollars for other medicines. I am 46 years old, and pray God may share you many years to establish your remedies for suffering humanity. With respect, I am, ever your friend. Joseph B. Mayes. Witness to the above: G. B.

I owe the steadily increasing business to progressive and educational advertising. Do you really believe that a dealer can continually sell real, and I mean real $750.00 Player Pianos for $450.00 and continue in business! A Player Piano that, sells for $750.00 should cost the dealer considerably more, than $400.00 or it is not a $750.00 Player Piano.
