SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1917 MERRY CHRISTMAS The observance of Christmas as the day of the birth of the Savior, though there is no evidence of its really being such, is by common consent, a pleasing and profitable custom, and it is moreover, the one thing in which Christians of all denominations, with but few exceptions, actually concur. In almost every other particular; creed, doctrine, rites and ceremonies, there is almost infinite diversity of opinion and practice; in regard to the propriety of making the alleged day of our Savior's birth, a holiday, there is substantial unity and, by some means or other, the birth of Christ has been so impressed upon the world's customs and manners, that every event in its history, social, governmental and personal, must, necessarily, be connected with that important event as the orbs of the solar system are with the great luminary. Thus Christ is the light of the world, and all our affairs are connected with Him as the planets are bound to the sun by the law of gravitation. In every letter we write, every deed we execute, every item of business we transact, custom has made it necessary and unavoidable that we should connect the transaction with the truth of Christ. And it is a significant fact that the nations that thus recognize the Savior, in even an incidental manner, are those most advanced in intelligence and civilization — those that are most powerful and prosperous, those that really govern the world. The nations that celebrate the 25th of December and that designate the present year as 1917, are the favored ones of the world. That such is the case can be attributed to no other cause than Christianity, of which Christmas is the emblem. This year, with the horrors of the cruel world war that is being waged over there, that has brought about peculiar conditions over here, will cause this Christmas to differ greatly from those just preceding it. However, as God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform, who knows that this is not the dawning of a new era of prosperity and happiness, in which our new national slogan: "FREEDOM FOR ALL FOREVER" will not be a "Sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal!" So we send our readers the usual greeting, MERRY CHRISTMAS! THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgme the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the counten the hearts of friend I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. PASSING OF PIONEER REPUB LICAN. William E. Chandler of New Hampshire, whose death has just occurred at the ripe age of eighty-two, was one of the founders of the Republican party. An early Free Soiler, he was active in the organization of the Fremont campaign in 1856; and his State was among those which gave their electoral votes to the Pathfinder. The friend of Lincoln, Mr. Chandler came to Washington in the days of the Civil War and was an assistant secretary of the treasury. He became secretary of the Republican National Committee, and his activities in the disputed Presidential election of 1876 are a matter of history. He served in President Arthur's Cabinet as Secretary of the Navy; and under him were taken the first steps in the building of the new navy, the "White Squadron" of his day having now become the second largest naval force afloat. For fourteen years he represented New Hampshire in the Senate; and on his retirement from that position he become president of the commission which settled the claims growing out of the war with Spain. For sixty years he was active in public affairs, having outlined nearly all of his contemporaries of pioneer Republican days and having maintained his interest in constructive political work to the end. The members of the "Old Guard" are rapidly passing away, soon there will be none left, and to equal them who will arise to take their places? WHAT FOOLS SOME MORTALS BE "Every white man in Mississippi realizes the seriousness of permitting Negroes to roam about in the South in the uniform of United States Army officers." Thus runs a sentence in a Vicksburg, Mississippi, dispatch to the New York World. What is there serious in this? The colored men who have won officers' commissions in the National Army were selected because of superior intellectual qualifications, they were given the intensive training of the Reserve Officers' Corps at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa. They were commissioned only upon merit; and there is no reason to believe that they will fail to do credit to the uniform which they are entitled to wear. That a white Mississippiian of Democratic faith should find it a serious matter for any colored man to wear other than overalls and jumper or to carry in his hand any implement more important than a hoe may well be believed. But that there is anything of real menace in such a thing is ridiculous. MR. NATHAN STRAUS IS RIGHT. MR. NATHAN STRAUS IS RIGHT. Mr. Nathan Straus, a well-known multi-millionaire of New York City, who is campaigning to raise $1,000,000 for welfare work among the Jews in the national service, exhibited the spirit that should burn in the breast of every man. In inviting fifty colored soldiers of the national army at Camp Upton to his home for a Thanksgiving dinner. It is stated that he did this as one way of showing impartiality in welfare work which he had emphasized ought not be confined to adding men of only one race, one nationality or one color. It is claimed on all sides that this great world war is being waged to firmly establish a worldwide democracy, which is only another name for the brotherhood of man. It cannot be claimed that this is a white man's war, as white men constitute only one-eighth of the cosmopolitan peoples that are actively engaged in "HUMAN NATURE My ear is My soul is sick with ev Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is seve That falls asunder at th He finds his fellow guil Not colored like his ow To enforce the wrong, f My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. n who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ent, may condemn, of relatives may be hearts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or als.—Charles Sumner. it. And this democracy or brotherhood of man will never be established until it is established right. So long as any man, or, any set of men are denied equal and exact participation in all obligations and benefits that fall to the lot of mankind, the grand principle of democracy will not be established. There is no half way ground, it must be as the new national slogan says: "FREEDOM FOR ALL FOREVER." ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK. "God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform." Thus far in this great world war while the colored man has received some very serious and painful jolts there have been much good to come out of Nazareth. At first, when with their usual loyalty and patriotism colored men forgot their color and undertook to get into the game just as other citizens of this "land of the free and the home of the brave" did, they were rather rudely awakened from their dreams. They, however, pocketed their chagrin as best they could but did not let up in their efforts to prove their loyalty and patriotism all over this country, and the outlook is quite encouraging. Friends of the dominant race who are not ashamed nor afraid to speak their sentiments boldly, are being heard from on all sides in complimentary terms of the patriotism, loyalty, bravery and soldierly bearing. This is very encouraging. A few days ago at Camp Grant Rockford, Ill., Maj. Gen. Thomas H Barry paid some very high complements. Among other things he said: "I have served with colored troops in peace and in war off and on for more than forty years, and I have always found them equal to any emergency, if properly handled, led, and given the consideration that you are entitled to. "Under some white skins there are black hearts; and the heart, after all, is the real test of the man." WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES: The new war savings certificates will bear 4 per cent interest, will run for a term of five years and will be issued in denominations as low as $5. They are to be just what their names indicate, "savings" certificates, a means of investment for small savings, so that the money will be safe and profitable and at the same time affording the government the use of it. It is planned to sell the certificates to the public on the installment plan by using stamps that may be purchased and pasted in a book for that purpose. When there are sufficient stamps to cover the cost of a certificate the book can be exchanged for one. The stamps will be placed on sale in every town and city in the country. The individual who has money laid by for a rainy day need have no hesitation in converting it into war savings certificates, since the government will redeem them at any time upon the request of the holder, allowing interest at 4 per cent. Under this arrangement the investor in these certificates will have the satisfaction of knowing that if any emergency should arise in his family, such as sickness or death, he could immediately realize upon his certificates. It is a safe prediction that the war savings certificates will go like "hot cakes." Their small denomination, the good interest rate, the terms upon which they may be purchased, the fact that they are not subject to taxation when held by persons of small means—all will make them an attractive investment.

They will be popular for Christmas presents. School children will be able to invest part of their little weekly allowances in certificates. As a result many millions will be transferred to the Federal Treasury and through it will flow into the channels of trade, while the people of small means will be made to feel that they, too, are doing their share toward helping their country win the war. Dr. M. L. Burton, president, University of Minnesota, will speak before the St. Paul College afternoon, stated as his opinion that: "The erasure of all class distinctions and the molding of a common ideal will be the outcome of the war." We do not know that Dr. Burton is a professor or a son of a prophet, but we do hope his prognostications will come true. SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER: Sends an Open Letter to His Special Assistant, Emmett J. Scott. Washington, D. C.-Some eighty-three thousand, six hundred (83,600) colored men have been drafted for service in the National Army to be sent overseas. Secretary War Newton D. Baker, in working out his plans for the training of these men, has met with many difficulties. First of all, he has had to contend with those friends of the colored men who have felt that it was Secretary Baker's special duty at this time. He has also had to so-called Race Question in America. Second, colored leaders from all parts of the country have importuned the War Department in various and sundry directions, while the peculiar southward movement has the masses of the colored people live, has had to be taken into account. Because of these difficulties, the Secretary of War called to his aid, on October 1, 1917, as Special Assistant in the War Department, a representative of the colored people, Emmett J. Scott, who, for eighteen years, was sent to the late Booker T. Washington and to the late Booker T. Washington. Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institution in Alabama. Mr. Scott has a wide acquaintance among members of his own race, and with leading members of the white race in the South, as well as with leaders of thought and public opinion in the North. He has sought to relieve the Secretary of War, as was possible, of the burdensome details, involving racial relationships, caused or occasioned by the presence of white and colored draftees together in many of the cantlements. Lately, there has been a certain amount of misgiving and unrest among the colored people of the country who have been led to feel, by the treatment of colored men in cantonment, that there is a disposition on the part of the War Department to deal unfairly with colored drafteres in National Army cantonments and in National campants. For the purpose of allaying the fears of recting certain false impressions which have been made and circulated, the Secretary of War has addressed an open letter to his colored aid, stating his attitude and the policy of the War Department in reference to these colored soldiers, dated November 30, 1917, follows: WAR DEPARTMENT Washington, Nov. 30, 1917. MEMORANDUM- For Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant, War Department. Referring to various telegrams and letters addressed to him at the DP. department, to which you have called my attention, concerning certain alleged discriminations against colored drafter. I wish to say that a full investigation of the matters complained of has been ordered. I have been my policy to discourage discrimination against any persons by reason of their race. This policy has been adopted not merely as an act of justice to all races to go to make the American people dismayed in institutions which we are now at the greatest sacrifice, engaged in defending, and which any racial disorders must endanger. At the same time, there is no intention on the part of the War Department to institute this aim to settle the so-called Race Question. In this hour of national emergency and need, white and colored men alike are being called to defend Our Country's honor. In the very nature of the case, others must serve the trenches, while others must serve the capacities behind the firing line. I very much regret what seems to be a certain amount of overworked hysteria on the part of some of the staff, and I am not sure only colored draftees are being assigned to duty in Service Battalions, whereas thousands of white draftees already have been, and more of them are being assigned to duty in such Service Battalions.

COLONIAL WRITING DESK Mahogany finished. Has four large drawers and roomy compartments. B or g's price is $29.50 Some of the complaints or charges of discrimination seem all the more unwarranted, in view of the fact that there is far less hazard to the life of the soldier connected with the Service Battalion than is true in the case of soldiers who face shots and shell on the armor or on the turret, or the attitude of the War Department toward colored soldiers is clearly shown by the following facts: More than 626 of the 1,250 colored men who completed the course at the Reserve Officers' Training Camp, at Fort Desert, have been commissioned as officers in the Medical Reserve Corps nearly 100 colored physicians and surgeons have received commissions as officers in the Medical Reserve Corps, and a full fighting force of 30,000 colored soldiers, including representatives in practically every branch of the service to complete the 92nd Division to be deployed in France under General Parsing. The relations between the colored and white men, in the camps containing both, have been worked out on a very satisfactory basis, and little or no trouble seems likely to arise. All the men are accepting this as an opportunity to serve and not an occasion for creating discord or trouble, and white men and officers are passing over the question of race difference in the spirit. What we need in this emergency is to make people in the cities and towns around the camps, and we are getting that co-operation so generally that our course seems free from embarrassment, if German propagandists, who make discord by stirring up semitribalism, simply not allowed to do their work. As a matter of fact, the colored people and the white people in this country have lived together now for a good many years and have established relationships in the several parts of the country, which are more or less well educated and have generally the colored people are acquiring education in the industrial arts, and are rendering themselves more and more useful-in our civilization, and more and more entitled to our respect. On the other hand, the white people are coming generally to realize that they are among the colored people through their dustrial importance and their eager desire to learn and qualify themselves for usefulness in the country, and this has brought about a growth of good feeling marred, it is true, here and there, by such incidents as that at a time when the colored people which grew out of sad misunderstandings, and were perhaps contributed to, in at least one of these instances, by the malicious activities of people, who would rejoice to see any embarrassment come to us as a sign of weakness against our enemy. Therefore we must be aware of the suspicion of the Government of their part are, by all means, to be discouraged at a time like this. We are bending all our energies to the building up of an army to defeat the enemy of democracy and freedom, the enemy of the army, and both white and colored men. We are expecting that they will all do their duty, and when they have done it they will be alike entitled to the gratitude of their Country. (Silent) NEWTON D.

FOOD CONSERVATION Lest we forget! We are at War, and it is not a mere outing like the Spanish-American War—but a serious war in which the little things that each person is asked to do will prove of as special importance as the larger ones. You are asked to make the larger sacrifices and that the larger sacrifices will not be necessary. If one-half of all the colored families in the United States would use one teaspoonful of sugar less in their tea and coffee one day each week, this little sacrifice would in the saving of 1,500,000 pounds of sugar a year. Sugar is a necessity in this war. If one-half of our families would use one teaspoonful each week, it would save 800,000 pounds which could be sent to help feed our soldiers and those who are fighting by our side in this war.
