LYNCHING RESUMED AS THE GREAT WAR ENDS Turpin Elected Constable By 992. Eight Other Race Men Win In Election Subscribe To The War Work LYNCHIN Turpin Elect AMERICAN NEGRO SOLDIERS MADE GOOD IN WAR --- VOL. VII. NO. 31. French and American Commanders Praise Their Coolness and Courage Under Severest "Baptisms of Fire." Snapping at Drilling and Expert in Field Maneuvers—"My Oldest Veteran Could Do It No Better," Said a Noted French General. With the American Armies in France—Colored troops from America had already established themselves in Europe, when the war ended, as being cool and reliable fighters in the front line. Both American and French commands say so, and if the Germans ever discovered who it was that held part of the line through Argonne forest when the boches failed to get through some time ago, the German command has a decidedly high respect for American Colored infantry. Up and down the line, after the test of a year's service, you hear my doubles expressed regarding the Colored infantry. The Colored doughboys have made good in the line as well as behind. They have proven successful in cool and brave soldiers in battle and gentlemen when back at rest in French towns. You are continually running into units of these Colored chaps as you travel up and down the line from Switzerland to Flanders. French Like Colored Americans It was interesting to see how those Colored boys mixed with the French inhabitants of the village, with whom the Americans were billeted. The French folk like the Colored boys, and felt highly honored at the way the later learned French. The Americans are getting extenuated, and it fits entirely with their scheme of battle to use all French forms of policemen. Like the battle like a large unit of Colored troops was encountered at serious business. It was going into the line, taking over a shiny and important sector formerly held by French troops. It was the first taste of the trenches, or of the front for the boys in this unit. These men were mostly from the South. They had been trained in the Middle West, and some more in France, but never had been on duty, under shell fire. Yet on this dark night, the Germans hombared, the thousands of Colored doughboy chiefs under direction of police officers, though some, were white, took over a difficult and sewer without a mishap and less noise than usual, so the officers said. They have held that long sector, for some time now, and there has been no slip, from the farthest outpost to the far supply truck.

LOUIS.MO., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1918 New York, November 12.—When the United States War Work Campaign opens and the hundreds of thousands of solicitors in every city, town and rural district in the United States started to raise the millions needed for for the fund, certain free blue American citizens were able to sit back and watch the rest of the country dig down in the pockets, their quotas in some instances doubled and even quadrupled. These blue citizens are none other than Georgia and North Carolina Negroes. With a friendly competition on in their hands between Colored and white people in white sub-subscribe their allotments, R. H. King, campaign director for the Southern Army Department has wired Dr. John R. Mott, head of the Y. M. C. A., that in one county Negroes already have raised $2,250 in cash. Their share of the quota is $3,000. The white citizens in consequence have been given a new quota of their own. A county in North Carolina furnishes the piece de resistance, however. Here the quota for the entire county was $14,000. The Colored citizens imagined this sum was their share and hence have cheerfully and promptly raised the full sum that both races had been asked for. War. Work Campaign Starts Here Monday On account of the influenza the War Work Campaign was postponed in St. Louis from the week of Nov. 11 to next week, beginning Monday Nov. 18.

Mrs. Maley Makes Appeal In our delirium of joy that the war is ended, let us not feel that our work is ended. Much remains to be done and many problems solved before our country is again back to normal care free conditions. Let every woman remain steadfastly at her task quitting to give loyal service to her country during this trying period of reconstruction and readjustment as during this struggle for world democracy. Readjustments must come gradually and Uncle Sam will need every loyal citizen to help him over this task.

The Printing that is done by The JAPANESE PAPER DOUBTS POWER OF PEACE LEAGUE Says Removal of Racial Discrimination is important to Avoidance of Wars. Tokyo, Nov. 11. The Kokumin Shimbus, discussing President Wilson's proposed league of nations, doubts whether such a league will be able to maintain the peace of the world against an ambitious and mighty nation. It says that while Mr. Wilson proposes the removal of economic walls and restrictions of armament as necessary factors, according to a similar line of reasoning it must be argued that the removal of racial discrimination is important in the future preservation of the world peace. The paper argues that in case Japan becomes a party to such a league, the discriminatory treatment of the Japanese in America and Australia should cease. It expresses anshaking confidence in Mr. Wilson's sincerity and expects a change of policy on the part of the American Government. REPORT OF THE Y.M.C.A.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO MAKE UP TIME LOST BY INFLUENZA BAN All the time lost by the public schools which opened Thursday morning will be made up according to plans formulated by school officials so that pupils shall not suffer loss in education in proportion to the loss in days. Twenty six, and one half days were lost and according to the plan outlined fifteen of these will be made up during the remainder of the school year. In the school day this will be accomplished by adding fifteen minutes to the morning session, and ten minutes to the afternoon session. Schools will therefore open at 8:45 a.m. for the rest of the year and close at 3:38 p. m. instead of 9 a.m. and 2:20 p. m. as formerly. The remainder of the time, eleven and one half days will be regained by a reorganization of the school work with some modification of instruction methods. Parents and pupils will also be appealed to keep absences from school at the minimum. INFORMATION WANTED Anyone knowing, the whereabouts of Dora or Albert Hardy, will please notify The Argus office or the Eighth District Police Station. Her daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Porter Smith, of Shreveport, La, wishes (to locate her) Transmitted to The Arms by Sergi Major Charles H. Bailey A peaceful town, far from the front A beautiful June day full of the joy of rushes. Respondent Summer treely bathe into bloom, indifferent to human plight, trets and agitations. Scene of the town: A boy of ten years, held by a urchin of the year, runs through the streets crying, "The Americans are coming to B-1, the inhabitants are invited to greet them." "The Americans" For morn they had been discussed, they had been expected and there was great curiosity, groups of people go down to the public square of the town where they see upon the white street the first ranks of the Allied soldiers. But, what a surprise—they are black soldiers, black soldiers—great entachment, a little fear. The rural population, not well informed, knows well the Necropos of Africa, but that from America, the country of the classical type characterized by the cold, smooth white face, that from America could come this dark troop; none could believe his own ever. A deep sympathy is treated for these men, which yesterday was not even surmised. Very quickly it is seen that they not only have nothing of the savage in them, but on the other hand that one could not find a soldier more faithful in his bearing, and in his manners more affable and more delicate than those children of the sun, whose ancestors dreamed under the wonderful nights along the murmuring streams. We adduce their forms, handsome, vigorous and athletic, their intelligent naval faces with their large gleaming eyes, at times dreamy and with a bit of sadness in them. For removed is the time when their profound influence upon the threeative organs of the lady was learnt. Now our mothers himself to have them at his table, and spends hours in long talks with them, with a great supply of dictionary and manuals of conversation. The white mothers were to see the photographs of the black mothers and display the portraits of their children, and the hands of our polls became interested in the flames across the sea, in their dress, in their headwear, and in a erthing which makes woman resemble woman in every clime. Late in night, the workes of the mobs move their talons as they hear arrows through the peaceful night the melancholy voices which call up to the memory of the exile his distant country. In the lanes along the flowery hedges, more than one blood head moves thoughtfully besides a curly head, while the setting son makes blue the neighbour's bills and gently the song of night is awakened. Soldier friends, our hearts, our wishes go with you. That despair, may be merciful to you. That the bullets of the enemy may spare you. And if any son you could never see your native friend, you see of France give you sweet repose. Soldiers who arrived among us our clear June, reddent with the spirit of roses, son will forever live in our hearts. NEEDHAM ROBERTS MONOGRID Special to The Argus. Trouton, N.

Mr. Roberta is a widely known orator and clerk in the Municipal Court; Warren Douglass is a lawyer of splendid literary attaintments and S. B. Turner is editor of the Illinois idea, this being his second time to be elected to the Illinois Legislature. Three in West Virginia Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 9-11, absent from Tuesday's election three Colored men who have seats in the North Carolina legislature convenes next January, voting the record of any State since the days of Reconstruction. The successful candidates, nominated by primaries and elected on the Republican ticket, are: J. V.

Nuttier, former Grand Ex- plained Bailor of the Elds, at present Chancellor of the Knights of Mir. Nuttier is also an attorney. Both Favette and McDowell spotted they have had Colored legislators before, the former three and the latter one, but at no time has there been more than one Colorado representative in the legislature.

This is considered landmark in as which as it was necessary to search one of the candidates and write his name in. The vote for him by wards was Sixth 105, Sixteenth 94, Sptgenteenta 465. Total 664 Dr. Riley was evidently copped out, judging by the narrow margin by which he was defeated. It is significant that of 16 men elected to the Republican majority, the eight New York Republicans and the nine New Hampshire Republicans on the ticket was defeated by a white Democrat. The following is the vote in the Fourth Legislative District. Following the lifting of the influence from many activities which had been suppressed the general works have been received and simplified to being put into almost everything they were effected by the tsunami apocalypse.

WHY SOUTHERN WHITE WOMEN OPPOSE, ADMITTANCE OF COL- ORED WOMEN INTO THE RED CROSS Fred C. Williams, in Recent Issue of The. (Onihaha) Monitor Speaks of Two Slaves—One the White-Woman; the Other the Black Man. Much has been written of the customs and traditions of the Southland, the land of cotton and of cane. Custom has stood sponsor for so many of the crimes enacted against the Negro. The one that has been the cause of more bitterness, and prejudice than any other has been the license of the white man with the Negro woman and the protest of the white woman and the black man against it. The liberty granted the Negro woman to freely accept the association of the white man seemed to, increase the desire in both parties to consummate this hason to the moral detriment of the black race. For tradition in the South says that the white man can do not wrong. So if there is wrong done only the black race is held responsible. The black man resents this in every conceivable manner that is within his power and sometimes he suffers the loss of his life when voting his objections too loudly. The other of his race pray for the time to come when his women cease to be the filching ground, for the demeaned white man. As to the white woman and her concurrence of this condition will be found in her attitude and manner when treating with the women of our race. She is ever resilient, vindictive and prejudiced. In all things concerning the Negro woman. Knowing of these relations of white men and Negro women is the one reason why the Southern white women so bitterly oppose the admittance of the Colored women into the Red Cross.

Compton & Laclede Aves. ST. LOUIS, MO. DON'T SELL YOUR LIBERTY BONDS; TO HOLD THEM IS PATRIOTIC; TO KEEP THEM IS WISE. The wide distribution among millions of American citizens of Liberty loan bonds makes our Liberty loans, accruing to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo's expressed opinion, the soundest of national financing. That these bonds be kept widely distributed among the American people is of great importance to the Nation and to the individual holders of the bonds. United States Government bonds in as $139 for a $100 per cent bond. That Liberty bonds will go well above par when peace comes is very probable. Holding one's Liberty bonds, therefore, is wise as well as patriotic. Every holder of a Liberty loan bond should, heed the caution to hold to his or her bonds, because there are going to be great efforts by shrewd and inscrubulous people to buy or secure at inadequate prices, these bonds from holders who are not well informed as to stock and bond values. Worthless or near-worthless stock or stock of only speculative value "wildcat stocks" they are called—are going to be obliged for Liberty bonds. Some will be urged not to sell or exchange their Liberty bonds, but to buy the stock and give the Liberty bonds as security for the purchase price. This is a camouflaged attempt to get Liberty bonds in exchange for the stock of their companies. It every holder of a Liberty bond will consult a bank before he disposes of it, the get rich-quick concerns will not prosper, but the individual bankholders will, and the American people as a whole will be benefited. CAPTAIN EMPLOYED DISCIPLINE TO GIVE HIS BLACK SOLDIERS A BATH As the Negro stevedores marched to work, Winter and Summer, rain or shine, night or day, they were always whistling or singing, as they marched to the wonderment of the French and English alike. Their spirits never seemed to be dampened. They always marched to music of their own making. There was that baseball game when an entire company of Negroes watching their team play a white team, at the climax of the game, when one Negro boy had knocked a home run, ran around the bases with him, more than two hundred laughing shouting, grinning singing, yelling Negroes helping to bring in the score that won the game. Then there was that Sunday morning when several white captains decided that their Negro coys should have a bath. They took their boys down to an ocean beach. It was a bit chilly. The Negroes stripped at order, but they didn't like the idea of molt into that cold ocean water. One captain solved the difficulty. He took his own clothes off. He got in front of his men. He lined them up in formation. Then he said: "Now boys, we're going to play that ocean is full of Germans." Our stewardors are always complaining about not getting up front, and you tell me what would do to the Germans if you once got up front. Now I am going to see how much noise you've got. When I say, "Forward March!" it is a military order. I'm going to lead you into that water. We are going in military formation. And into the surf that company of black soldiers marched into that cold ocean water, dreading it with all their souls, but soldiers to the core, without an oulter, eyes to the front, heads up, cheeks out, unflinchingly up to their waters, un to their chins, when the captain shouted. "As you were" and such a hilarious shouting, laughing, stolling, jumping, yelling fun filled hour as followed the world never saw. The gleaming of white teeth, the flashing of ebony limbs through green waters and under sparkling sunlight that Sunday migrating was full of a fine type of fun and laughter that made the world a better, place to live in and certainly a cleaner place.—The Outlook. DIG GRAVES IN BALTIMORE Baltimore, Md. During the recent "fur" epidemic bodies piled up so fast at Mt. Anburn Cemetery that the grave diggers were swamped. After little efforts to secure additional help, the cemetery officials appealed to the health authorities. As a result several hundred Colored soldiers were sent from Camp Meade last Saturday and bug forces for 160 bodies. Graves for 25 more were dug Sunday. The women's section of the Maryland Council of National Defense has arranged to establish a course in automobile mechanics for Colored girls. "SEPARATE AS THE FINGERS OF THE HAND" There are ninety Afro-American secretaries in the "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. department in camps and twenty-eight "overseas." Also one hundred Afro-American workers in the "jim-crow" Y. W. C. A. department which has established "jim-crow" hostages houses even at Camp Sherman, Ohio; Camp Grant, Illinois; Camps Funston and Dodie, Kansas, as well as at three southern camps—Dix, Gordon and Jackson. Thus does the Southern Democratic Wilson administration force color-lines and teach separation of the two races in the North as well as in the South. It is losing no onnostility to do this, apparently. Remember Booster Washington's notorious "separate as the fingers of the hand." Atlanta, Ga. apeech many years ago?

HONEST ADVERTISING PAYS I want to say that the Steiger Line of Pianos have been sold to over 250 people of this city by me, and eighty-five per cent of my business is in high class players, and mostly in good terms. I owe the steadily increasing business to progressive and educational advertisement. 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 $450.00, or if it is not a $750.00 Player Piano. One line of Player Pianos are sold to to everybody, and they are easy to play. I can, and I am giving better terms, than any other dealer in the city. If you sale track me, you pay the penalty.

LOUIS ARGUS The Grand Benevolent Association is the name of a fraternal organization which has recently established a branch office, with beautifully appointed rooms at 103 North Jefferson Avenue. The G. B. A. was organized in Bessmer, Ala., in 1907, and is incorporated and chartered under the laws of the State of Alabama. There are more than four hundred subordinate lodges with branches in the States of Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Colorado, Ohio, Missouri, and Indiana, with a constituency of 50,000 members giving employment to 500 of them. Every certificate held by the G. B. A. members is backed up with $15,000 of real estate decided to the association and its members, which makes it as safe as the ground you stand upon and as solid as the Rock of the Gibraltar. Another test of the strength of this institution is by the many burdens it has borne without complaining; caring for its sick, burying its dead and giving assistance and protection to its most unfortunate members. A. B. The St. Louis branch is in charge of Rev. John W. Laden. His long experience with the order well qualifies him for the office. His record as Past State Grand Master of the Mosaic Templars of Missouri and his activity in the civic and religious life of St. Louis have won for him a host of friends to whom he recommends the reliability of the order he represents, asking for their co-operation and membership. Mr. Laden can be found at his office, 181 N. Jefferson, daily from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The leasing fee is $1.50, sick benefits, as high as $5 per week, death or funeral benefits range from $100 to $300, according to the class of policy.

This is to certify that I have used Dr. Thurman's Embroction with the greatest results. I do say without the fear of contradiction that it is the best remedy for all bodily pain and aches that I ever heard of. I have been an invalid for 18 years, with spinal infection. One year ago last spring I became paralyzed from my hips down, and last February 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 Embroction, in connection with The New Discovery, Blood and Liver Tablets. Within two weeks I was able to move my limbs with out 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 need 75 of the dollar bottles, using one bottle a day until I used three dozen. I took it three times a day, and the tablets twice a week, bathing freely with clear Embroction, and I feel very thankful that I got relief that cheap. Before I was blessed with using your Embroction I extended hundreds of dollars for other medicines. Bomont 1140 Cigars, Cigarettes and Colored Newspapers Mrs. H. R. Lindsay, Prop.

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

The War Department gives out the information that there are 3,754,677 United States men in the army, 2,020 are overseas and 1,567,677 in contemplates in this country. No more men are to be drafted, but all men from 18 to 46 are to be classified in order that the Government can have direct statistics on the man war power of the United States. All questions must be filled out and sent into the boards. The Peace Conference The consensus of opinion is that the peace conference cannot possibly begin for at least three months, because of the extensive amount of preliminary work necessary. The view is that because of the prospects of infinite complications, such as the possible breaking up of Germany into separate states involving a large number of separate delegations with conflicting views regarding boundary problems, the life of the peace conference will be protracted far beyond the period originally regarded as probable. Grafted Men Return First It will be several months before the soldiers will begin coming back home. There must be no doubt that war can not be resumed before the boys will be quashed out of service. The selective army drafted into service will be the first troops brought back to the United States. This was the interpretation of officials of the War Department and of the Military committees of birth houses of the state under which the men were taken into the service. The policing of the quest countries of Europe, so far as America's part in it is concerned, will be performed by the standing national guard as may be needed. Drafted men are to be brought home first. Dismissal fro the military service officer drafted men will be acceded through the local boards. Under the proposed arrangement, each soldier will be returned to the place where he was called into the service. Each community, however, will have the opportunity of giving the gifted welcome to the troops as they return. Farther From Station.

REAL ISSUE INVOLVED The North has, repudiated the domination of the Government by the South in the saddle Democracy, but the North has not repudiated the domination of the South by minority government. I oppose domination of the nation by the Southern oligarchy, but, the North has the demon of violence in its relationship to the South and this domination of the South itself, by a Hun-likeocracy. This is the real issue involved. Let it not be forgotten, further, that it was under Roosevelt and Taft that investment got its hold on the threat of democracy in the South. No man who is now pacifist on the issue of voice in law has been able to lead the party of Abraham Lincoln and 'the hour has strick to compel taking a stand on this issue of free government in the South. The masses of the South, who are dominated by a Hun-like system, must have self-determination in government. If none other shall come forward to make this fight, as a Republic candidate, for the-presidency, I will do and I will be heard. The hour is here when this evasion and side step misuse, on the part of Republican leaders, seem fairly well satisfied when they obtain office and power. JOSEPH C. MANNING. 150 West 35th St. New York City. N. Y. Nov. 30th, 1918. NEGROES HAVE DONE BIG THINGS FOR THEIR COUNTRY Have Proved Themselves Fighters, Having a Part in the Greatest Game in History, Which Should Go a Long Towards Creating a Better Under- standing—Little, Is Known of the Work of Faithful Colored Women. "The daily and periodical press is followed more closely than ever before" by Negro Americans who are looking forward, with increased interest to benefits to the Negro and the country, growing out of the war. In speaking of the Negro American in the War, Leslie's Weekly said in a recent issue of that periodical: "The war has transformed the American Negro into the Negro American. Because he has been doing big thing for his country his sense of nationality has grown—his citizenship become a living reality. "A large proportion of Colored troops are abroad and have, as all the world knows, been in action against the Germans and proved themselves magnificent fighters. One entire regiment was decorated for bravery and several individual soldiers have been cited for deeds of great valor. "But the Negro Americans, have been doing more than fighting abroad, less is known of the faithful work that the folks at home have been carrying on to back up their boys, but the scopes are cooler and a revered attest of the real strength of the Colored chapters of the Red Cross have been particularly active, and the scopes entered the war with the same enthusiasm and resolve to see the struggle through that the Negro soldiers have shown." "But far greater than all this is the Nicaragua's awakened sense of citizenship. They have been serving under the American flag in a foreign land and that flag, perhaps for the first time, has became wholly and rightly theirs, will come home realizing that their country is proud of them and a diving effect of their pride. They have sat in on the greatest game in our history, and learned to serve honorably in a great and unselfish cause, one in spirit with all of us. The reaction of this point of view on the folks at home will be profound, and it will inevitably be long way toward healing old wounds and creating a better understanding and cooperation in this democracy." CALL COLORED SOLDIERS "COONS" WHITE OFFICERS AT FUNSTON MISTREAT OUR BRAVE LADS SICK ARE NEGLECTED. The following telegram was sent Wednesday to President Wilson and secretary Baker. Hen. Woodrow Wilson Commander in Chief Army and Navy, President United States. "I have just returned from Camp Punjab, where several thousand Colored soldiers are quartered at Deception Camp Na. 1. They volunteered the information that they are being woefully mistreated. After heavy rain water stands, in pools under their buiks, making 'Tape' a call to torture, in dry weather several inches of dust add to their discomfort. They complain of white commissioned officers addressing them 'the bigger,' 'open,' 'white,' and other odious names that should not be applied to such man directed to carry democracy to an unrestricted people in a foreign country in the best few days a new Colonel must have been as ordinary colonies would be in any city with a population of 100,000." The Colonel soldier affirmed with a privilege to make a video of Deception. Yet the army are the commissioned Negro ideas and demands that have not been called to duty, and as many trained careers. From information re served, we believe these conditions prevail in other camps, where Colorado soldiers are located. We are at a loss to know why these putrages are being perpetrated among these soldiers when they are putting up as brave a fight against the kafas as any other race opposing him on the western front. We believe that you are not aware of these conditions. We would like to see a committee of fair-minded white men, with Col. Chas Young included, investigate these conditions, that we may know the truth. We had hoped that every man who proved his efficiency would be properly to the white soldiers and others. Our soldiers are still / being Jim crowed on trains and at lunch counters, other places besides in the South. At Camp Funston the soldiers are refused canteen service at the only canteen in the vicinity and are compelled to walk a mile where they can be served. We have called the attention of the Secretary of War to the same facts complained of. "NICK CHILES, "President Kansas Defense Society." WAR WORK Colonel Young Recalled to Army Duty at Camp Grant.

Dodson Installation of Dr. Scruggs, Second Baptist Church From Friday evening 7:30, over the Sunday evening 3:00, the Second Baptist Church followed out a well arranged program which was befitting to the formal installation of their new pastor, Dr. E. L. Scruggs. The Mrs. sionary. Circles had.charged of the exercises or Friday evening, and were led on by Mrs. Duke, Diggs, and Miss Dell Ehloe. The program was carried out to the delight of all present. Several of the young ladies and especially Miss Tucker had joined. The show, from the regular music of the choir, sang solos and duets, the sweetness of who's melody fell upon the ears, of the large audience similar to the reheeching of, seraphic, strains Following the program, a committee of ladies led the guests of the evening into the large lecture room and formed them in a rainbow circle and proceeded to serve them with wholesome delicacies, and bade them drink from "director's bowl" to the delight of all. At 3 p.m. Sunday Dr. Ross from Columbia prescheduled the installation sermon. It was a gem indeed, and all who heard him were well pleased. Rita Curry, Daniel and Dodson, to together, with their congregations, were present and spoke in glowing terms of the work of the church and bade the new pastor and family God speed. The "Silver Offering" evidenced a ten-tribute of respect it was a very handsome bestowal. Lincoln Institute Football Team Lincoln vs. George R. Smith, 23-0, in favor of Lincoln. The game was sensational in every department from start to finish. The superior coaching which Lincoln has was clearly in ex- idence because of the fact that she toyed with George R. Smith from first to last. Lincoln's "goal" was threatened only once during the game, and this in the first five minutes after which the ball was continually left for George R. Smith's territory. One of the main features of the game was a dropkick from the 55th yard line by Smith, one of Lincoln's crack right hands. The game ended with the ball in Lincoln's possession on George R. Smith's ten yard line. Prof. Burling when questioned concerning the game, expressed himself with perfect satisfaction. He said in this game he could go the very earnest effort of his labors with the team bearing fruit. He said the team that expected to come with Lincoln in the future would have to reach the O K mark. The following are the names of the heroe- Lincoln team: Captain Watson, Pearl J. Riga, Jackson, Rankin, Brooks Mansour, Lane Martin, Smith and Golus.

Once more our doors stand 'ajar with renewed welcome to all. To my members I wish to say come, don't let anyone but sickness or death keep you from our midst, let every heart be tuned to sing and rejoice as once we may reunite to sing our Maker's praise.

LOUIS ARGUS INVESTIGATE NEGRO LABOR PROBLEMS Committees Organized by Director of Negro Economics Undertaking Important Work in South. Two important investigations connected with the labor problems of the war are no under way in the Southern States—one to determine what truth, if any, there is in charges that Negroes are quitting work because they receive allotments from relatives in the military service, and the other to examine proposals that Negro women be subjected to commul. The object of organizations built up by Dr. George E. Haynes Director of Negro Economics of the United States Department of Labor, is to make the relations, between the white and Colored populations of the Southern States as congenial as possible, and to prevent discrimination against the Negro in labor affairs. A cayass of the Colored people of Florida is being undertaken with a view to impress upon them the necessity of voluntary aid, to the best of their ability, in the Government's war labor program. This project, it is believed, will overcome the labor shortage without result to compulsion, and will stimulate to useful employment any Negroes who may have quit work because of Government allotments. The work of the Division of Negro Economics is carried on through State and county organizations composed in part of white and in part of Colored citizens. There has been excellent cooperation between the races in working out war-labor problems. Florida's special problems were discussed recently at a conference held in Ocala, under the auspices of the State Negro Workers' Advisory Committee, the chairman of which is President N. Young of the A. & M. College of Negroes. An important part of the work of the State committee was the preparation of a program of activities for cooperation of white employees and Negro workers in all parts of the State, to promote better understanding between them and to remove the discontent of the workers so that they will give voluntarily regular and enthusiastic work for greater production of food and supplies needed to win the war. In Jacksonville a local branch of the State committee has led to the establishment of a training center to instruct Colored women, along lines of work in which they can replace men, and W. A. Armwood, a Negro of Tampa, is touring the State to interest Negro preachers, Lodge leaders and others in the Government's program. "If we are going to raise the food need by our soldiers, our allies, and ourselves at home, every man and woman who can help in the garden or on the farm can see that it is his or her patriotic duty to join." declares Dr. Haynes. "This is a bigger question, than earning a living; it comes to be a question of working to have the food on which to fight to save ourselves and other people from German slavery. Every landowner can also now see that this is a bigger question than success on this land, but a question of doing whatever needs to be done to induce laborers to work the land and raise the necessary food." A WORTHY APPEAL The National Race Congress of America at its last annual meeting, Oct. 1, 2-2, authorized that a commission be sent to France at the earliest possible date to cheer and encourage our soldier boys over there and to contribute in whatever way they can, their comfort and welfare. Prominent men of the race compose the commission. It will require at least $4,000,00 to meet the expense of this commission and we issue this appeal to the public, asking for contributions toward food, all checks or money order for this purpose should be made payable to A. A. Graham, correspondent and financial secretary, who will prompt acknowledge with official receipt. The money should be sent to A. A. Graham, Box 177, Phoebe's Va. or headquarters 902. Third Street N. W., Washington, D. C. in order to get the commission offer there at an early date it should be in hand by December 1, 1918. We earnestly pray that every unit of our Congress, that the churches and lodges throughout the country and everyone interested in the welfare of our soldiers in France will respond to this appeal at once. We call upon pastors especially to put this matter before churches. The following amounts have been deducted: R. F. Willey, Texas; $100 S. J. Walls, N. C.; $100 Walter Dar Gen. N. J. $100 J. E.
