IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 18 WASHINGTON, J. D. C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1914 Continues to Advance THE MAN WHO MADE INSURANCE A SUCCESS A BIRTHDAY RECEPTION TENDERED MR. S.W.RUTHERFORD BY REPRESENTATIVES OF SIX STATES. A MOST BRILLIANT AFFAIR. FOUR WEEKS IMMEDIATE BENEFIT RALLY FOLLOWS. Last Tuesday evening witnessed an occasion at the Home Office Building of the National Benefit Association unique in the history of Negro business corporations and captains of finance. It was a representative assembly of men and women who voluntarily gathered from the six states in which this great organization operates and spreads its sheltering, arm, to do honor to one of its founders, Mr. S. W. Rutherford, by celebrating his birthday in a manner that served the Association, helped themselves and promoted the best interests of the race. THE CALL But let us read the call to arms of the Birthday Campaign Committee, consisting of Messrs. Walter S. Johnson, R. D. Pittman, B. M. Fernanders, W. M. Butler, Chairman and Mrs. Lucy E. Graves, Secretary. It is as follows: "It is proposed to hold a ten days rally beginning Sept. 1st to 10th inclusive. This rally is to be known as the General Manager's Birthday Rally. The birthdate of our Gen'l. Mgr., Mr. S. W. Rutherford, is on Sept. 15th. We propose to present him with 10,000 applications on his birthdate as an expression of our gratitude, as a token of our respect and loyalty, and as an appreciation of his constructive genius; for as we all know it has taken or required a "special kind of genius" and a deal of divine energy to successfully organize and develop this great Association. The strength and enthusiasm of our entire organization can be traced back to the master hand of Mr. S. W. Rutherford; the man—to that remarkable personality that attracts men to it and leads them on to victory—to this man of great faith, with the power of will to compel success, with the power to command, yet with a tender heart and broad sympathies, this man who believes it can be done and does it now—today, we in the spirit of good will propose to "Do Honor to Whom Honor is Due." With a remarkable oneness of purpose and action the little volunteer army of agents over the entire field responded to the clarion call. It was one incessant and intensive battle of love and labor for ten days. New records were made; new laurels won. Notwithstanding the dull season of the year during which the campaign of peace and protection was waged, the further depressing effects of the European strife, the absence of a goodly number of our people, who were at the summer resorts, these men and women of debits of their own initiative wrote 2,500 newly paid for cases in 10 days—a daily average of 250, sold 20 shares of stock of the N. B. S. C. without allowing any portion of their regular work to suffer or be neglected. THE PRESENTATION. The speech of presentation, written by Mr. W. L. O'Donoghue, assistant Pittsburg manager, follows: "Mr. Chairman. Friends: This event we are now celebrating, we hope to repeat not only for the result of the occasion, but chiefly for the immediate cause. And now may we join Longfellow, and say: "The lives of great men all remind us We can make out lives sublime: And departing, leave behind us Foot-prints on the sands of Time." As we scan with our mind's eye the many avenues of opportunity opened up for the advancement of the Negro race through the thoughtfulness of the Honored Individual of the assembly, over 1,300 N. B. A. agents representing six states of successful labor, with hearts brimful of love, loyalty and gratitude, send greetings to the honored S. W. Rutherford, the founder and secretary-manager of the wide-spread N. B. Association. Sir, we are awaken to a realization that your acute idea advanced into the financial world, surpassed any method yet produced to solve the economic problem of the race Your lived life towering up like a gigantic light-house in the ocean of adversity is visible in over 250,000 Negro homes in six states as a transcendent light of faith, hope and charity. We consider you, Sir, a genius, a philanthropist, and financier. As it is said—Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar—we deem it our bounden duty to render to the master founder of the N. B. A. the things that are his. Hon. S. W. Rutherford, the entire agency force in the six states where you have placed them to labor, united in sending you 2,500 applications for membership in the greatest organization of the Negro race founded by you as a token of faith through our representation of YOU. May you live many years and see more fruit in your vineyard." Following this, Mr. B. G. Chick, of the Washington, D. C., corps of agents made a most pleasing speech over the unveiling of a splendid enlarged photo. to the general manager to be hung in Agents' Hall. This picture was the personal gift of the local agents' club. THE ACCEPTANCE. In his witty and humorous speech of acceptance the general manager, Mr. S. W. Rutherford, paid many high and deservedly eloquent compliments to the morale and personnel, as well as the efficiency and achievements, of both the agency and clerical forces. He stated that the very atmosphere of the occasion was charged with an inspiration that would lead him to battle on for their welfare and improvement and to place the organization on that shore of safety, where its wreck and ruin would for all time be both impossible and unthinkable and at the same time, spread its sheltering wing over countless increasing heartstones. While a refreshing colation was being served three minute speeches became the order of the day. Those who got an opportunity to speak, lead by the president, Dr. R. W. Brown, vied with one another in paying homage to the general manager. Other delegates, who spoke were Mr. Geo. H. Moore, Camden, N. J.; Mrs. A. C. Brinkley, Wilmington, Del.; Mr. I. C. Reddie, manager, and Mr. C. H. Diggs, Baltimore, Md.; Rev. J. R. Johnson, manager, and Mr. E. Mitchell Johnson, Frederick, Md.; Mr. J. E. Hall, manager, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mr. D. L. Summons, Newark, N. J.; Mr. J. M. Miles, Harrisburg, Pa., and Mr. R. J. Bowden, Chester, Pa. A number of districts were represented by letter. Prof. J. B. Watson, International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Atlanta, Ga.; also spoke. Rev. J. D. Wilson, superintendent, performed the duties of master of ceremonies in a most acceptable and praiseworthy manner. Following fast upon the heels of this testimonial, the management has ordered a Grand Fall Awakening through a special four week New Business Campaign to be vigorously waged throughout every district and agency in N. B. A. territory. To make the fight interesting the company offering the following generous and exceptional inducements: Every new applicant accepted, who takes both a Sick Benefit and Straight Life or Endowment Policy, will have his or her Sick Benefit policy stamped—In Full Immediate Benefits For Sickness. When it is recalled that all the policies now being put out by the company are new and embody all the desirable standard forms of insurance and that the rates have recently been revised in favor of the insured, one need not marvel that the Policy Department of this Company requires a force of nine to handle the great volume of new business now pouring in by every mail. The business was never in better condition nor the outlook more promising. WASHINGTON, J. D.C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1914 A. H.

THE EDITOR A prominent member of the Far who received such a royal reception by the citizens of Canada and Detroit, Mich. THE NEGLECT OF GIVING NEGROES. A Military Training in the Southern States Is a Mistake. The present war in Europe should cement all traces in the American nation. The lesson Germany, has taught us by her soil in warfare should teach us the importance of giving military training, to all naturalized races in America without reservation. And in those states where money is appropriated for the military training of white boys alone, and prohibits the training of Negro boys, it should be remembered that we are all one nation, and to be able to protect this nation, we must be educated alike in all modern warfare. The Negro makes a good soldier as well as a loyal citizen and you should train in order that he may help protect your Christian country and civilization. We are not aware as to what time this country may be subjected to a bloody war, so it pays to prepare in time of peace. We who have had any military training at all know that twenty well trained men will put forty mitrained men to flight. Another thing, when other countries know that our military training is poor and less than one-eighth of our entire population has practically no military training, they will not run. spect our demands and will not fear to maltreat our citizens. Why is it that Germany is making such a brilliant campaign, holding at bay the combined forces of France and England? Is it because her people are superior or her soldiers braver? No, it is because Germany has been preparing for a generation in order just such a crises. She had a large standing army splendidly trained and disciplined and she was on war footing when war was declared. The English have fought better, if reports are true, than the troops of the Kaiser; but the trouble is that there are not enough of them. Wounded and fatty thousand soldiers are only a handful in a gaussian conflict like this. The people of England are now realizing that Local Roberts was not spit a jimbo alarmist as they took him to be when he warned them repeatedly and begged them to increase their standing army. Now they wish they had taken his advice. America is just making up to see what warfare means, and while she is waking up let her not forget to train that race of people that has always been loyal to his flag. In the District of Columbia and a few of the states equal military training is given regardless of race. Why not all of the states get busy and do the time. It will be only a small city, but the returns may be a hum dred fold. If the states do not take advantage of the opportunity, Congress should do it. Congress should make an appropriation for the military training of white and colored youths in each state and appoint supervisors over such funds to see that it is used for that purpose. Senator Swanson made a strong appeal last year for the increase of our navy. So have other leading thinkers in the Senate made like requests in regard to our standing army. These men are looking far in the future. Doubtless these men have thought of the Negro, but have neglected considering that phase of the matter. If they have not, I feel it my duty as an American citizen and one who loves his country and its flag, to call their attention to this all important proposition. I appeal to every citizen, be he white or colored, who loves this Republic, "the home of the brave and the land of the free," who believes in free government and the perpetuation of American liberty, and who are willing to go to the front in the case of prospective invasion, to let their voices be heard in their public meetings, in Congress halls, in their churches, and in their prayers to God, for this is their Christian duty as well as a timely war measure. Memorial Service. The memorial service on the life and character of the departed companions of the Holy Royal Arch Masons of the District of Columbia since 1912, given under the auspices of the Most Excellent Grand Chapter Sunday, September 20, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Twelfth and R Streets, was very impressive. The departed companions are: Wm. H. Myers, P. G. H. P.; Jas. H. Saunders, P. H. P.; Richard D. Gaines, P. H. P.; Jas. R. Pryor, P. H. P.; Eugene P. Minor, Jas. H. Levy, Geo. W. Davis and Townsend Miller, of Mt. Vernon Chapter No. 1; John F. N. Wilkerson, P. H. P.; W. M. Marshall and Charles H. Wright, of Prince Hall Chapter No. 5; Wm. H. Arnold, Lloyd Monroe and Alex S. Howard, of St. John Chapter No. 7; Charles H. Brown, M. of Third V. of Keystone Chapter No. 11. The Committee on Arrangements were: M. E. C. John N. Dorster, Geo. S. Newman, Andrew W. Sears, Chas. D. Freeman, John P. Davis, Win. H. Anderson and J. O. Bamfield. Companion P. H. Simmons, marshal. Vocational Schools, I The two vocational schools, the Cardoza, under the supervision of Prof. Newman, and the O Street, with Mr. Moria Saunders, principal opened last Monday with a large attendance of pupils who are interested in vocational work. Mr. Saunders has inaugurated some new plans which will add greatly to the success of the school. Prof. Newman will have a millinery school this year. Both schools have new acquisitions and good and strong teachers. Every effort is being put forth by both Prof. Newman and Mr. Saunders to build up this feature in the schools, and Superintendent Bruce is highly pleased to know that so much harmony now exists among both prin- cipals and teachers. The Weatherless Banquet. In the report of the banquet to Prof. Nelson E. Weatherless at the Home Cafe, last week, the names of the young ladies who served the function were inadvertently omitted. They deserve special mention for the excellent manner in which they deported themselves and their excellent costumes they wore on the occasion: Miss Julia Howard, Susie Smith and Maud Clark. An Old Veteran. Mr. Joseph A. Palmer, an old veteran of the Civil War and one of the bravest that was in Company K. Fifty-fourth Massachusetts, called at the Bee office this week and related some interesting reminiscences of that great, conflict. Mr. Palmer is well preserved and he is an interesting talker. Prominent in Church and Mason's Circles—Pastor. Mt. Zion Church, Arlington, Va. Rev. Frank Woody Graham, D. D., died at his home in this city at 9:10 a.m. Sunday, September 13, 1914, after an illness of nearly two years' duration. On August 1st he left for Hot Springs, Ark., in a vain attempt to regain his health, returning apparently improved Thursday, September 10. The same evening he suffered his third stroke of paralysis, to which he succumbed three days later. Rev. Graham was born February 22, 1868, near Corinth, Miss. For sixteen years he taught school in Corinth, at the same time taking a course in theology, and being regularly ordained to the Baptist ministry September 25, 1892, after which he pastored various churches in Mississippi. On November 5, 1896, he married Miss Edna Witherspoon, being at that time a widower with two small boys. He came to Washington in August, 1901, and one year later he and his wife united with the Second Baptist Church, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D., pastor. In 1906 he became pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, serving faithfully and well for four years, during which time he did excellent work, thoroughly repairing the church, adding new members, and putting new life into the membership generally. He resigned to answer the call of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Arlington, Va., and was installed as pastor September 8, 1910, holding that position until his death. His home life was exemplary, showing him always a fathtel husband and a loving father. As neighbor and friend he was loved, respected and trusted by all who knew him. It was mainly through his efforts that the Mississippi Club, an organization composed of Mississippi living in the District, was formed, and it was its first president. Surviving Him are a wife, four sons, the youngest being three years old, and a daughter of twelve, also his mother and six brothers. His funeral services were held in the Second Baptist Church Thursday, September 17. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Abbott, of Okalona, Miss., who was moderator at the ordination of Rev. Graham and later performed the marriage ceremony which united him to Miss Wither-spoon. Fitting enologies were pronounced by various members of the clergy and of the organizations to which he belonged, the most beautiful and most impressive of all being that one delivered by that able and erudite scholar, Dr. Johnson, pastor of the church. The floral offerings were numerous and most beautiful, making of the pulpit a perfect flower, and mutely testifying, in their loveliness, to the esteem and high regard in which the deceased was held. Charles Datcher Lodge No. 13. F. A. A. M. having charge of the funeral, the remains were interred in Harmony Cemetery with Masonic honors. Resolutions of Condolence. Washington, D. C., Sept. 17, 1914. Whereas, the Reverend Frank W. Graham, formerly of Corinth, Mississippi, late of Washington, D. C., one of our esteemed co-workers, has been removed from among us, and passed into the mysterious beyond, and Whereas, he was one of the founders of the Mississippi State Club, and its first president, and Whereas, the present strength of the organization is largely due to his long and faithful service, it is for his untiring efforts, therefore: Resolved. That all his contributions, his exemplary life, his untiring activities and his never flagging interest be held in grateful remembrance by all members of the Club; and Resolved. That we extend our sympathy to the family and relatives in NATION URGED TO PRAY FOR PEACE United States Asked to Lead In New Righteousness. PEACE · SOCIETY APPEALS. Bulletin Asserts That Present Conflict Gives to America a Chance to Teach the Gospel of Humanity—Says Peace Loving People Must Now Shoulder Responsibility. "Washington.—A message to the American people" was issued by the American Peace society, having headquarters here. It was sent out by Senator Theodore E. Burton, president, and Arthur Deerin Call, executive director. The message follows: "The frightful consequences of the present European conflict are likely to be beyond the wildest conjecture. Never before in the history of the world have such large numbers of men and such quantities of armament been engaged in mortal combat; never before have such deadly machines of warfare been lost and in the destruction of man and of property. Many thousands of lives are being sacrificed daily and will continue to be until this terrible conflict is stopped. "The causes of the war are not hard to understand nor difficult to explain. The maintenance of enormous military and naval armaments by the nations, of Europe, costing no less than $2,000,000,000 annually, and a compulsory military service have inevitably stimulated a warlike spirit. It has been alleged that this vast expenditure was for defense, that it was for the maintenance of peace, but the present war is an irrefutable answer to this argument. Men unarmed are not liable to commit murder; nations unarmed do not engage in war. Again, certain sovereigns have had an insatiable ambition to increase their personal power and to extend the territorial limits of their country regardless of the cost in men or money. "Then, too, there have been the tolerable secret alliances founded upon an outgrown conception of effective statecraft. Added to these causes are racial and religious animosities which have existed for centuries and trade rivalries and jealousies which have been constantly growing more acute. "The burdens and miseries of the war will fall not so much upon the sovereigns of the nations engaged in it as upon the millions of men who are fighting in the ranks, upon the widows and orphans in the homes which are made desolate and upon the generations yet unborn. The wheels of industry are still, commerce is paralyzed, thousands of lives which can never be restored are being sacrificed, and civilization is turned back a hundred years. "In the midst of this distressing calamity the peace loving people of America have no small responsibility. The president of the United States has just asked that the fourth day of October be spent in prayer and supplication for a speedy termination of this bloodshed and woe. Ministers might well deliver sermons calling attention to the utter follies and irreparable losses of war, not only on Oct. 4, but the next Sunday and on every possible occasion. A similar responsibility rests upon lecturers and upon the press." "The various peace societies should with renewed vigor bend their energies toward creating a universal sentiment for international right reason. Such efforts exerted by a people of a great nation whose neutrality and good faith are undoubted, cannot fall to have a military effect. The time must inevitably come when the people of the world will demand that the controversies between nations shall be settled by some form of judicial procedure similar to that now used in the settlement of controversies between individuals. "The opportunity of the American people seems at hand. The workers for justice between nations may well be horrified, but they need not feel discouraged. The cumulative disasters following in the wake of the armies, the futility of military theories, the senselessness of it all, are so apparent that the constructive upbuilders of civilization may well believe that they are soon to receive a new hearing before the bar of humanity. Let us, of America, remembering all that is best and noblest in our traditions, do everything in our power to carry forward the banner of the new international righteousness. We repeat, our responsibility and our opportunity are at hand. "Therefore we urge upon peace loving people the country over the importance of immediately discussing among themselves this terrible situation and of uniting in prayer and supplication today and tomorrow and of continuing their efforts on each succeeding day until world peace is restored." Wills Teeth to Dentist. San Francisco. - Mrs. Kathryn M. Fgton gave explict directions in her will that a mysterious little box should be delivered into the hands of Dr Herbert Boyes. As most of the bequests made by the deceased were of jewelry there was no telling just how valuable were the contents of the sealed package. The box was brought into court and contained three sets of false teeth. Dr. Boyes was Mrs. Fenton's dentist. Blames Spirit of German People For the Struggle Now in Progress. London.-Maurice Maeterlinck, the noted playwright, is a strong sympathizer for the cause of the allies, but does not blame the kaiser entirely for the present struggle; rather, he asserts in a recent article, the spirit of the German people is responsible for the war. He says: "Let there come a thousand years of civilization, a thousand years of peace, with all possible refinements, art and education, the German spirit, which is its underlying element, will remain absolutely the same as today and would declare itself when the opportunity came under the same aspect. "Through the whole course of history, two distinct will powers have been noticed that would seem to be the op- PETER H. Photo by American Press Association. MAURICE MAETERLINCK. posed elemental manifestations—of the spirit of our globe, one seeking only evil, injustice, tyranny, suffering, while the other strives for liberty, right, radiance, joy. These two powers stand once again face to face. "Our opportunity is to annihilate the one that comes from below. Let us know how to be pitiless that we may have no more need for pity. It is the measure of organic defense; it is essential that the modern, world should stamp out Prussian militarism as it would stamp out a poisonous fungus that for half a century had poisoned its days. The health of our planet is the question. "Tomorrow the United States and Europe will have to take measures for the convalescence of the earth." FIND PATENT HERE FOR ODD WAR SHELL Emits Gases and Spreads Death Where It Strikes. Washington.—The records of the United States patent office give a description of a patented shell that is interesting, in view of a news dispatch from Malta, which says: "There is much talk here of a new German siege gun which kills as much by poisonous gases liberated from the shell as by the solid contents." There is nothing in the specifications on file at the patent office to show that a shell patented on behalf of the Krupps, the German manufacturers of war materials, is to be used for the purpose of generating poisonous gases, but the description corresponds to that of the shell mentioned in the Malta dispatch, and unofficial information is to the effect that it is intended for the generation of gases. According to statements made here, the manufacture of this shell was opposed by a daughter of the house of Krupp, who contended that the use of such a weapon in warfare was contrary to the dictates of humanity. Why the shell was patented in the United States is a mystery. The specifications are minute enough to enable any nation to manufacture the shells. None of the dispatches from the war zone, however, says that the shell described in the Malta dispatch is being used by the Germans. The application for the patent, which is a matter of public record, was filed on Oct. 10, 1910. The patent was granted on Sept. 12, 1911. The patentee was Karl Wieser, described as "a subject of the emperor of Germany and a resident of Bredeney, Germany." He was the inventor of the shell. The official records show that Wieser made an assignment of the American patent rights to "Fried. Krupp Akdene Gesellschaft of Ussen-on-the-Ruhr, Germany." The Malta news dispatch described the invention as follows: "The gun has a relatively small bore and is easily mounted on wheels. The shell is loaded at the mouth of the gun, but a metallic shaft, making a piece with the shell, is rammed tightly into the gun. Shell and shaft are shot together. The shell is detached in its course. The shell when it explodes emits poisonous gases which associate those who escape death by a explosive missile." AMERICAN WOMEN AIDING RED CROSS MME. JUSSERAND A LEADER Little French Seamstress In New York Gave Her an Idea, and She Quickly Acted Upon It—Has Received One Gift of $1,000 For Aid of Hospital Work In War Zone. Washington.—America may well be proud of the part her women are playing in the great women's work of seeking to alleviate the suffering caused by the colossal European war. American women married to foreigners and American women stranded abroad as well as American women at home are heading great organizations and devoting themselves to relief work. No less than four of the ambassadors from the warring countries to the United States have American wives, and each of the latter has thrown herself heart and soul into helping her adopted country in the hour of need. The Countess von Bernstorff, wife of the German ambassador, who was Miss Jeanne Luckmeyer of New York, refused to return to this country with her husband, feeling that she was more needed in Berlin. There she is actively identified with the Red Cross work, has taken a training course and devotes herself personally to caring for the wounded. Mme. Jusserand and Mme. Bakhmteff, wives of the French and Russian ambassadors, respectively, on the other hand, have decided that the task of raising funds on this side of the water is the one nearest to their hands and for which they are best fitted. Mme. Bakhmteff was born and reared in Washington; she knows every one worth knowing. She was Miss Mary Beale, daughter of one of the foremost and most prominent of the real old © Harper's Magazine MME. JULING. JUSSEHAND, WIFE OF FRENCH AMBASSADOR TO UNITED STATES. "save dweller" families of Washington, a sister of the late Mrs. John R. McLean and of Truxton Beale. She is organizing a fund to be devoted to relief work in Russia and has had many contributions, ranging from a $1,000 check from Mrs. Robert McCormick of Washington and Chicago to works of art and articles of venu of more or less intrinsic worth. Mme. Baklimatef is accepting all donations and is conducting a sort of running sale at the summer embassy in Newport, adding the proceeds to her rapidly growing fund. Considerable comment has been caused by Mrs. McCormick's gift, crities saying that she should have made her contribution to the Red Cross for general relief work; but this seems unfair, for it is but natural that she should prefer to aid directly the country in which she lived when her husband was ambassador. A check for $1,000 has also been acknowledged by Mme. Jusseraud, the name of the donor not being given, but it is not unlike that Mrs. McCormick knows something of it, for Mr McCormick was ambassador to France also—and per chance she wished in this way to show her sympathy and desire to help. A little French seminature in New York sent to Mme Jusserand a small contribution for the aid of French sufferers and offered to make some clothing as seemed most necessary. From this small beginning grew an undertaking that seems likely to bear large fruit, for not only have contributions been pouring in for the fund which the French ambassador's wife once started, but many busy fingers are constantly occupied making garments for the needy. Mme Jusserand was a Boston girl. Miss Eliza Richards, but was educated abroad and spent most of her early life in Paris. Indeed, it was after her marriage to M. Jusserand that she really became acquainted with her native land. URGES CHEAPER POSTAGE. Plan For Two Cent Rate to South America as Aid to Commerce. Washington.—As a further stimulus to commerce, it is proposed by several leaders in congress that steps be taken to obtain a 2 cent postage rate to countries of South America that will consent to an arrangement of this character. It requires at present a 5 cent stamp to carry a letter to South America, and the argument is made that it would foster closer commercial relationship if that part of the world could be placed on the same basis with respect to mall charges as England, Germany, Canada, Mexico and Panama. Representative James T. Lloyd of Missouri, for several years a member of the house postoffice committee, said today that there was a general sentiment among members of the house and senate in favor of reduced postage to South America. A change would involve a series of postal treaties to be negotiated between the United States and the countries which are willing to enter into the new arrangement. Each treaty would be made in behalf of the United States by the postmaster general, acting under the advice of the president. The existing postal arrangements with the South American nations are under the regulations of the Universal Postal union. A joint resolution, the adoption of which would indicate the sentiment of congress on the question of the lower rate, is contemplated by some of the leaders. NUGGETS PAY FOR OUTING. California Fisherman Seeks Trout and Finds Gold. Nevada City, Colo.—A. W. Johnson, manager of an auto truck company, who is camping at Foote crossing, is a lucky person, and instead of digging down in his jeans for expenses he will probably go home ahead of the game. Johnson is fishing along the Middle Yuba river, and a few days ago he picked up a fine nugget. The find stimulated Johnson to greater efforts, and surely he was well rewarded, for he found another specimen in the river that is valued at $125. It is a pretty piece, with particles of quartz sticking out between the gold, and was evidently washed down from some rich claim in the mountains. TOY U. S. FLAGS WIN GERMAN KINDNESS Americans In Hamburg Protected by Emblems. Washington. - How little American flags planned to their coat lapels have assured Americans in Hamburg of kindly treatment at the hands of every German was told in a report from Consul General Henry II. Morgan to the state department. The report gave a graphic description of the trying days at the outbreak of the war, when the consulate general was filled with frantic men and hysterical women clanning for means to get home. "As far as the Americans in this city are concerned," wrote Morgan, "their friends and relatives in the United States can be reassured no harm will come to them, and indeed it would be hard to imagine from the peaceful aspect of the city that the whole country was afame. "Some embarrassment was caused at first by the refusal of the banks to honor American letters of credit and checks issued by well known American banks, but subsequently money was offered me in any amount to relieve this situation. Incidents were brought to my attention when American banknotes were changed into German currency at 50 cents on the dollar, but these Incidents were very rare. "I have had several interviews with the civil authorities of Hamburg and the military commander at Altona, and all have shown the most earnest desire to do all in their power to relieve the stress and inconvenience to both American citizens and British subjects caused by the mobilization." Morgan was intrusted with British interests in Hamburg, and while there were sixty-two British vessels with upward of a thousand sailors aboard at anchor in the harbor when war was declared he reported that not a single overt act against any British resident of the city had been brought to his attention. On the day the report was written a special train provided by the German government was leaving for Holland with Americans. "There will be a large number who will have to remain here for lack of funds to return to the United States," said the report, "and among this number are many women and children. In the meantime no special concern need be entertained on their behalf, for a number of American firms in this city, as well as German firms, have contributed to a charitable fund which I have opened for their relief. "The prices of living have only slightly increased, and many of the hotels and pensions in the city have decreased their prices to aid those in distress." Tipton, Mo.-George Schreck, who came here from Berlin, Germany, fifty-six years ago, is dead at the age of ninety-one years. It is said he never uttered an oath, never used intoxicants and paid every penny he owed. BIG WAR TOO SOON FOR AIR FIGHTS Aviator Asserta That if Struggle Had Occured In 1924 Every Nation Would Have Had Tremendous Fleets of Fast Airships, Not Tentative, but Highly Organized. London—Claude Grahame-White, the aviator, thinks that if the great European war had come ten years later, the best results from craft in the air would have been secured. In a recent article he writes: "The great war has come soon for aviation—almost too soon. Splendid aerial scouting should be done; vital information gained, both above land and sea. Aerial duels should be fought. Dirigibles, which are the Dreadnoughts of the air, should be attacked by fighting planes. But if it had been only ```markdown ``` ten years hence! This is what those will think who have studled the vast powers of perfected air craft when available in large numbers for the purposes of war. "In ten years the great nations would have had air fleets, not tentative and experimental, but highly organized and ready to prove—in a way that could not be gainsaid—the value of the flying machine not only as a scout, but as a weapon for destruction and offense. "In ten years, had the war come then, the first battle would have been in the air, the rival flying fleets contending for that supremacy which would have been all important and would have enabled a subsequent blow by land or sea to be delivered with a crushing force, unhampered either by attacks or spring from above. "But at present fighting aircraft are experimental. Armed machines that are in existence carry only the lightest of guns. Numerically the air fleets are by no means strong—not strong, that is to say, for the ravages of a great campaign. Germany, which has been building war craft with the utmost speed, is reckoned to have about 1.000 machines for a active service. "The French air corps cannot compare with this, either in numbers or in the condition of its machines. Russia is estimated to have 300 war craft, Austria, roughly 100 and Britain—for military purposes—about a similar number. Instead of being launched against each other in any preliminary combat, these air corps will be husbanded and used with care, their prime value lying in their work as scouts. "Nothing is more contradictory, nothing more bewildering, than the reports of spies or of those who are sent out to reconnoiter. Some locate army corps where they have seen only detachments; others see only detachments where they ought to have seen army corps. "Pry that phase is ended; the 'fog of war' has gone. The use of the air scout must make a vital difference in the plans of the contending armies. Although served by a comparatively small number of machines, both France and Germany should know in this campaign exactly what positions the enemy is taking up. And this should spell a quickening of all movements, should tend to the dealing of decisive, crushing blows. "There will be less room for strategy and finesse, seeing that any shifting or rearrangement of men will be observed and noted within a few hours of its making. "Of course they will not be infallible. There may be movements of troops that they will miss. But all main bodies, all vital positions, should be detected inevitably. "Bombs certainly will be dropped from airships and aeroplanes; already there have been unimportant raids. Mechanism for releasing a bomb from a machine in flight has now been well tested, and the missiles themselves are carried in a convenient releasing gear. But the effects, generally speaking, will be more moral than material. Those missiles that fall from the sky will resemble a drop in the ocean compared with the streams of projectiles that will roar from the artillery." WHAT FIGHT IN AFRICA MEANS. British Hope to Realize Rhodes' Dream of Cape to Cairo Route. Washington.—Reports of fighting between the British and German forces in central Africa are regarded in diplomatic quarters here as having significance far beyond that of a local struggle in that savage and remote quarter. It is looked upon as a final test of the two rival policies—the German plan of establishing her most extensive colony in East Africa and the British policy of linking together her vast territory in southern Africa, extending from Cape Colony through Rhodesia up to Lake Tanganyika, and her equally large possessions in northern Africa, extending from Egypt, through the Sudan, down to British East Africa. These British possessions in the north and the south stretch almost continuously for 5,000 miles, giving the hope of realizing Cecil Rhodes' dream of a continuous "Cairo to the Cape" route, entirely under British authority. This stretch is now interrupted at only one point, where for 200 miles German East Africa projects an arm straight across the chain of British possessions extending from the north to the south. The British have succeeded in getting around this gap, first, by crossing Belgian territory under a treaty, which was finally abrogated through Germany's protest, and, second, by adopting Lake Tanganyika as a water route, connecting the other portions of the route by rail and river. One of the reports from Blanquire, in British Central Africa, tells of the taking of the German station at Langenburg, at the head of Lake Nyassa, in German East Africa. This is the section immediately at issue and which forms the link between the British possessions of north and south Africa. It lies just south of the British possessions in Uganda, and should its control pass to the British it would complete their continuous chain from the northernmost point of Africa to the southernmost point of Cape Colony. "WIZARD" BURBANK OUTDONE Potatoes and Tomatoes Are Grown on Same Plant. Britton, S. D.-Plants with potatoes on their roots and tomatoes on their tops, raised here by H. E. Benson, may yet place him in the garden wizard class with the famous Burbank. In appearance the plants are of the ordinary potato variety, but at their tops are large bulbs resembling tomatoes in both meat and seeds. Whether or not these are the ordinary potato balls often seen or a growth caused by the mixing of the pollen of the tomato and potato blossom is not certain, although the latter explanation of the old combination plant is believed to be the true one. Washington.—Professor William J. Spillman, chief of the office of farm management, department of agriculture, is making arrangements for the folding of a farm management survey school here in November when field agents of his office-will be in Washington attending an annual conference. A week will be devoted to the survey, which will take place on farms nearby in Virginia. The "school" will be conducted by experts of Professor Spillman's office. "A farm management survey," said Professor Spillman, "takes in every possible item in the business of the farms included. The purpose is to ascertain which farms in a given community are being successfully and profitably operated, which farms are 'making a living' and which are being operated at a loss. "Thirteen such surveys have been made up to date in as many states. Those already made have been of real benefit to this office and to the farmers affected directly by them. "For example, the surveys show that many farmers fall to get a maximum of work out of their farm animals, their help and themselves because of lack of foreight. Instead of so arranging their work that they will be profitably employed all the year many have entirely too much to do at one time and little or nothing to do at other times. Consequently their farm animals frequently do not pay for their keep for considerable periods because of lack of profitable employment "The work of our field agents is to acquaint themselves with the facts developed by the surveys and then assist the farmers in applying scientific methods which have proved successful. Where a farmer is not planning his work so as to secure a maximum of profit from his employment ways and means to accomplish this end are pointed out to him." Where he is raising crops that are unprofitable the facts and figures are laid before him in a convincing way. "Few farmers are inclined to show resentment when our agents attempt to assist them in this way. Occasionally, perhaps as often as one in a hun dred, a farmer will refuse to answer questions or supply information as to his farm operations or his success or lack of it. As a rule, they are more than ready to adopt better methods when 'shown.'" CAUGHT FISH WITH EAR. California Angler Evolves Unique Method of Landing Trout. San Bernardino. Cal.—There are divers ways of catching a trout. Most fishermen go about it with a hook, some catch them with nets and others with dynamite, but there has been found a man who does the stunt with an ear and gets away with it. This may sound fishy, but it is the gospel truth, according to the story brought in from Deep creek. Jay Fetlers of Victorville alternated fishing for trout in Deep creek by taking swims in the cold water, and that is the way that he demonstrated that the human car can sometimes catch more than mere sound. A few days after he left Deep creek he was troubled with acute pains in his ear. Dr. Murphy examined the auditory cavity and after prodding around found a tiny mountain trout. The fish was dead. The pain in Fetler's car was almost instantly relieved. He is at a loss to know whether the fish entered his car or it became the lodging place for some spawn and served as a hatchery. WASH HENRY IRVING'S FACE. Actresses Win Bobbies' Praise by Cleaning Status. London. - Two young repertory actresses yearning for excitement after long weeks of resting determined the other night to wash the face of Sir Henry Irving's statue, which stands behind the National gallery. Armed with soft soap and a bucket of water and accompanied by a photographer they started operations on Sir Henry at 2 o'clock in the morning. Just as Sir Henry's face was beginning to take a nice polish the expected policeman strolled up. The statue scrubbers tried to look unconcerned, and the photographer primed his flash lamp. "What are you doing?" inquired the policeman. "Washing Sir Henry's face," came the defiant reply simultaneously from the workers. "Capital, capital; just what it wanted!" was the unexpected reply. Papers Printed Jokes So Citizens Would Be Watchful The Hague.-Sensational stories in German newspapers during the first days of the war, such as the report of a French physician's trying to infect a well in Alsace with typhoid bacillus, were secured by the German army officials with a view of stirring people to watchfulness. Stories like that of the infected well were widely published. Lakes all over the country were being poisoned. Russian automobiles carrying a great quantity of gold were trying to cross Germany to France. The whole country was swarming with spies. These stories, generally believed, led to the shooting of many innocent persons, including one German army captain. The chief of police in Stuttgart issued the following official statement to his men, showing the effect of these sensational stories: "The populace is beginning to become crazy. The street are full of old women of both sexes who conduct themselves in an unworthy manner. Every one sees in his neighbor a French or Russian spy and considers it his duty to beat him, together with the policeman who tries to protect him, or, at least, to cause a tremendous crowd to collect and hand the supposed spy, over to the police. Clouds are mistaken for aviators, stars for airships, bicycle pumps for bombs. Telephone and telegraph wires in the middle of the city are believed to have been cut, bridges blown up, spies shot and the water supply poisoned. It is impossible to predict what form these extravagances will assume when the situation becomes really more earnest. As a matter of fact, not a single suspicious thing has thus far occurred in Stuttgart. "The police should continue cool. Be men and not old women. Do not let yourselves be duped, but keep your eyes open, as it is your duty to do." BLIND BOY A STENOGRAPHER. Bert Cutting Wins Distinction by Reproducing Speech In Shorthand. Indianaapolis, Ind.-Bert Cutting, nineteen years old, who has been totally blind for years, has won distinction for himself by reproducing in shorthand a speech made by Governor Ralston. Cutting became blind as a result of typhoid fever and other maladies. Being otherwise in good health, he wished to earn a living and hit upon shorthand writing as an occupation. He uses a mechanical device instead of taking the usual notes. By this method words are spelled out in print. Cutting believes he is the first blind person in the world to do this kind of work for a livelihood. Seven Brothers in the War. Elwood, Ind.-David Kessler, a merchant in Elwood for twenty years, has a vital interest in the European war. Kessler is a native of Austria and has seven brothers, all of whom are under arms, three in the German emperor's forces and four in the armies of Austria-Hungary.

Nata University, fas pupsiea a book on “America-and the War,” in which a threat is launched that) 2,500,000 Teutonic voters will’ be used in the next election as a re- buke to what is called the “misbe-| having neutrality” of America, touching the European war, comes with no surprising force to those acquainted with conditions in this country. Considering the complex composition of American society, a similar, attitude may be expected whenever in the opinion of any con- siderable body of American citizens of European extraction consider their particular fatherland adverse- dy or unfairly criticized. Thus, Ital ians, Swedes, Pollocks, Frenchmen, Spaniards, Russians or any one or all of the horde of naturalized citi- zens would hurl the anathema of electoral condemnation at the party in power, were their sympathies af- fected. The position of Prof. Mun- sterberg as the representative of German-Americans is by no means exceptional. The incident of some years ago at New Orleans provoked a similar demonstration of Italian voters and like manifestations have characterized other disgruntled for- eign-bom citizens. As a matter of fact, albeit they are treated in all respects as foroigners:" indeed un- desirable persons, notwithstanding they have maintained — continuous residence in this country ior centu- fies, the colored people constitute the only absolutely reliable element in the United States to whom the “pare white Americans” can’ look for unqualified patriotism and the real American spirit. And the day, may not be far distant when this will he made emphatically clear to all. But, whatever may be said of the I'rofessor’s prediction of a pow-' eriul and disastrous rebuke to the. Democrats, who DY the way are righily held responsible ir the hasty bias exhibited by the .\meri-: can press against tiermany, his in- diguation is righteous respecting many points. The Professor is re-' ported to have said that “onr anti- German fecling is akin to the Amer- ican penchant i6r lynching.” Re-| specting the treatment of Germany: aud the Germans, he say. “Ameri: cau. public opinion has accused and condemned the undefended, unfair- ly, ernelly. unworthy.” How strong: an analugy between the trequment| of the Germans and_that towards the colored people! Colored "Amer- ican citizens are accused, condemn- ed. undefended and lynched daily.| while the vast body of whites, Gers mans included, view the wrcedure! with stolid indifference, if not ap-| proval. Apparently, it. makes no difference how a colored citizen is treated. whether justly or unjustly, or even fiendishly, just so similar treatment is not visited upon the whites. Nor had it ever occurred so forcibly to the Teutonic race’ that that race would ever be placed ju a situation ip, this country where the enormity of their treatment could be likened to the lynchings which have become so common and indifferently heralded in the daily newspapers. By this the Germans have come-fo realize that this habit of regarding with indifference the tyramny, injustice, wrong and bru- tality heaped upon the colored peo- ple has grown to proportions. érom the baneful influence of which even a highly civilized and powerful a nation as that of the Germans may not escape. On the subject; the Professor cannot jorego observa-| tions upon the psychological expres- sion most prominent in American society. He says “Nobody can an- alyze the mental habits of the new world without noticing the unusual degree of imitativencss and sugges- tibility. Every emotional excite- vee Ree nee S. veaee one We ePeer eye individual léses his strength, of in- tellect and will and character, and becomes a mere automatic mechan- ism in which the thoughts and feel- ings of his neighbor control his mind.” Also. “There is a lack of individual resistance to prescribed opinions which produces in excited states a colorless wholesale judg- ment which may be entirely differ- ent from the natural stand of the sober single individual.” In the passage quoted, the Professor has accurately characterized the major hody-politic; and there is no ele- ment in this country that can appre- ciate and deplore stich a quality of the public’mind more than the col- ored people. The personal experi- ence of the average colored person with the average individual white person is in the main far from un- satisfactory. If left to individual impulses and inclinations they will cat, drink, sleep. work, play, pray with and fight for each other. The white man trusts the colored man with his wife and children, goods and chattels and even his life; the’ white woman in her individual and personal capacity loves, trusts, sym- pathizes with and would make mar-| velous sacrifices for her colored fe- male employe, confidante or friend. Yet when it comes to the commu- nity spirit, as if by some inexplica- ble diabolical influence, there exists. perfect acquiescence touching the policy of “keeping the nigger in his place,” a relation out of al] har- mony. with individual experiences on the part of either race. Verily there seems to occur in such latter case an actual loss of the “strength of intellect” and a blind tolerance of the worst manifestations of hu- man nature. We can sympathize heartily with the Germans and de- plore the causes which form the basis of their protest. But we must remind them that there are others suffering from the same cruel treatment—a class who know and sympathize with no other country save this—and that if they would have just cause for complaint, they should bear in mind that it is their duty to take no part with the host of whites who see no wrong in pre- judging the colored ‘people and heaping upon them cruel diserimi- nations and bitter humiliations. Let them accentuate their love for and title to a square deal by opposing with tongue. pen and vote any and all movements which tend to dis- turb the harmony which should subsist among all the various classes of Americans. without regard to color. It will be interesting to.note just what effect. Prof Munster- berg’s trust will have on the fall elections in that it may serve as a pointer for colored voters in deal- ing with the present impediments to their normal progréss. A GCOOD IDEA. Taquiries have been made of The Ree irom time to time. as to how many and what the character of the colored mechanic clement in this city. Owing to the absence of an up-to-date business directory it has been impossible to furnish more than an approximate number and an unsatisfactory estimate of the kinds of trades represented., As a statis- tical proposition, without any ref- erence to the economic side, an ac- curate list of mechanics is highly desirable. There are many people who would be glad to hire colored mechanies in large number and va- rious capacities if it were certain that they could be employed with- out incurring the opposition of white labor unions. But when asked conceming the subject. no definite or reliable information can be furn- ished. The injustice of contending that equality of citizenship must not be exptected until the colored people show proficiency in the trades and mechanic arts, and when shown, of being ignored notwithstanding, has appeated to many sympathetic and fair-minded people in this city, and they are anxtous to see that justice is done where merit is displayed. It has occurred to The Bee that if ev- ery colored mechanic of known pro- ficiency, in the city, were listed and published, together with urgent ap- peals for recognition, many who are now obliged to do “odd jobs” at underpaid wages would be able to secure more work at much higher wages, If every colored mechanic in the city will send to the office of The Bee a card on which are writ- ten the name. address, trade, expe- rience. and any other information of pertineney, a list will be publish- ed cach week, at a nominal charge, ‘in addition to a regular subscription for the paper. Ty this means the sumerous colored patrons of The Ree will be able to locate needed vcchanics, reliable statistics may be compiled. tind our many ‘white friends informed just to what ex- tent they can rely upon colored me- hanes for anv work they may be ‘nelined to offer colored workmen. “rite ta The Ree, show an interest | in the plan, talk it up aniong fel- low-mechanies generally, and a great service will be rendered the public generally, those whites who are interested in us specially and the body of mechanics individually and severally. Pak. on Remember, the cost will be very slight. . ~ OUR WIGH SCHOOL. |} the thee would like to know rien the-Comnissioners intend to conmence on the colored high school. The money is available and it has heen for over a year, What means the delay? The colored high sstoe! at ils present quarters is’ not a good horse barn, and just why the new high school is net in course of erecton The Ree takes this, op- portunity to ask. ~ There is not sufficient room in the ‘old structure on M Street “to ac- commodate our children. Now, no doubt, the colored schools see the value of Captain J.’ FL Oyster. There was nothing selfish about that old Roman. He was interested in all of the schools when he was president of the Board of -Educa- tion. By, this , The- Ree dogsn’t mean to say that other members of the Board of Education are not in- terested in our high school, but Captain Oyster hada way of doing things and doing them well. Let us have our high school, because we faced it, Our teachers will he able to teach better and our children will ie able to recite their‘ lessons a great deal better. We have some of the best educators in the United States right in our high school, and there is no excuse for the authori- ties to keep these well educated servants of the people in. an old shack. Let the people arouse a sen- timent and request the Conmmission- ers to start. The Bee has every rea- son_to believe that Commissioner F: L. Siddons is interested in the education of our colored children, and it is helieved that he will do justice towards our children and give them a decent high school. The Ree will have more to say next week. DR. WASHINGTON, At the meeting of the National Independent Political League, it is said, that one “Rey. Frazier Miller” in his. address denounced Dr. Booker T. Washington. Just what he said was riot reported, but what- ever he said. no matter what, fully demonstrated the narrowness and short comings of a Negro minister who calls himself intelligent and learned inthe Christian ministry. What hay Dr. Washington done or said in his speeches recently that deserves censure ar condemnation ? What are his etities doing, or what have they done to advance the in- terests of colored penple? Ti all the states in) which the critics ‘of Dr. Washington exists would do one-tenth as much ay he ix doing and hay done at Tuskegee. there would-be less-coinplaints, Tess stealing. less immorality and eout- rages committed. ‘There would be more property owners, more busi- ness enterprises and more every- thing else anyorig Negroes, Tis critica would have more sense: more thanhood and he more independent. \ : MAJOR SYLVESTER. Major Richard Sylvester, chief of police, is heing investigated by Congress on charges preierred by a lot of disgruntled discharged mem- hers of the police foree. There is only one objection The Pee has to the chief of police. and that is. no colored men have been appointed on the force by him for several years. Otherwise he is one of the best and most highly educated chict of police in the United States, No honest man will doubt his honesty and integrity, notwithstanding any alleged faults he may have if he has any. [i police officers do their duty the chief of police finds no fault with them and on the other hand, if they fail to do their duty they will know what the consequences ‘will be. All honest members, of the foree should stand by the Major. MILITARY NEGLECT. | In another column of The ,Bee this week will be seen and read with interest an article written by Mr. Wm. H. Robinson.

SUMMARY OF ADDRESS To Country of National Independent Equal Rights League—Seventh An- nual Meeting, New York City, Sep- ” tember 7-10, 1914. ~ . , fo recapitulate: 7 | Let the American people. and. ¢s- pecially the President, in view of the [hoody war of all Europe and the probable grant of freedom to Ircland and suffraze to women. ireedont to Poles and Finns and relief from seg- rexation and political disabilities for ‘the Jews, induced by the needs of [warring nations, remember. that 12, 110,000 native citizens in this country ae worse proscribed than those of Europe. We appeal to President Wil- ‘son to free colored \mericans from Jim crow. cars, disfranchisement, Iynching and. seyregation, especially tinder the Federal Government at the Federal capital now rather than await }some aweful war here, Southern disfranchisement encour- Laves other forms of lawlessness and renders the colored citizen helptess in as cowardly fashion as the lynch- ing which its disrespect. for law, breeds. ee Jim crow cars were absurd enough. init residence sexregation shows the South knows no limit in proscription if let alone. ‘, Segregation of Federal employees is the most alarming symptom, ‘The petition presented against it to Presi- dent Wilson by a delegation of this league checked it only. We ask Pres- ident Wilson to entirely remove this nationalizing of caste. We protest against _disfranchise- ment, lynching, segregation, denial of civil ‘and political rights. "We want only the rights all others enjoy, even the foreigner, We shall never cease until all. citizens have full equal rights in every state. * We advocate enforcement of the Constitution, making lynching a Fed- eral crime, abolition of leigal segrena- tion, Federal aid to educational. This proscription, visited upon no Americans but those of color, is seri- ous and not to be minimized. Col- ored citizens are warned that they must ever resist it by agitation and organization. Organization of colored persons is the only means to gain rights or retain them if gained. We urge the use of the ballot as the real weapon of self-defense, vot- ing independently for our rights and liberties ant not for party. Greetings and appreciations are ex- tended to the National Association [for the Advancement of Colored Peo- Iple and the Constitution League for aid, and thanks given Congressman T.'C. Thacher and A. J. Peters of Massachusetts for securing a hearing against segregation and opposing it. Federal segrecation as practiced in the departments and encouched in ‘various hills should be made an issue as to supporting candidates for Con- gres$, and no doubtful men on these issugs should be voted for. Adother delegation to see President Wifion on undoing Federal segrega- tion}is advised., : Next to segregation, the denial of employment of industry is the most inhaman practice of this country. ‘Ns an attempt to reduce colored Aipeticans to permanent caste is so poikeriul, acceptance of non-legal seg reffation in philanthropic institutions inpthe North is opposed. ) A NEW IDEA. Dr. Drew's Appeal to Police Court Judges to Sentence Negroes to- Church Instead of to Jail. 2 =e. At the tenth annual revival session” the National Colored Baptist Evan. zelical Convention of America, now being, held at the Cosmopolitan Bap- tist Church. N Street Northwest, be- tween Ninth and Tenth Streets, Dr Simon P. W. Drew. the president ot the convention, in his annual address offered as a prelude a resolution en. dorsings the action of Judge Wilson. of Wabash, Ind. also appealing to po: lice judges in other cittes to emulate his example to sentence Negrocs to the church instead of jail for drunk. enness. P"Des Drew states thas. nearly: two- thirds of the prisoners in the cities are due to drink and a large per cent of them are colored people. Dr. Drew commended the idea of Judge Wit. son, of Wabash, Ind,, September 22, in sentencing John Yeater to church fifty-two Sundays in the year instead of eleven days in jail. The judge asked the prisoner which he would prefer, the church or the jail. The prisoner declared he preferred the church. Consequently he was com= pelled to choose 2 church where he will attend service for the next year. ‘The pastor has promised to report to ‘the court the first Sunday Yeater fails to show up. |, Dr. Drew believes that this new idea will solve the great problem of drunkenness in the United States. Also praises citizens of Virginia in yoting to go dry. Also less saloons in the national capital. 7 Dt Drew is considered one ‘of the leading Negro preachers in the United States. He is identified with nearly every movement for improve- ment of the colored race. He is the chaplain at the District Morgue. A commission was appointed to draft suitalite resolutions to be pre- ‘sented to the “police judges asking their ruling upon this new idea. | This convention was incorporated ten years ago for the purpose of do- jing ‘missionary work among the col- ored in the Cnited States, West In- dies and Airica. Next Sunday, September 27, preaching by delegates at U1 a.m. and communion at 8 p. m. . Dr. Drew urged all of the colored people in the United States to assem- Ule in their charches and offer a spe- cial. prayer Sunday.

Ladies' Improvement Club was held at the home of Mrs. L. E. Crouse on Monday evening last. Reports of vacations, various outings, etc., were given by the members and friends present. Mrs. G. L. Payne, president of the Embroidery Club, gave a splendid report of the work done by her club the past year. Mrs. Crouse, president of the F. H. L. I.

A hook shower had been arranged, and about ninety books were presented to Miss McNeill for her school. Miss McNeill in a most fitting speech accepted the gift. Light refreshments were served. Those present were: Mesdames G. L. Payne, A. J. Ware, Jennie Trotter, C. Johnson, S. Clarity, E. Shumate, C. Sykes, B. Patterson, L. E. Crouse, Ada McNeill and the Misses E. A. and F. McNeill. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Ada Armstrong on Fairmount Avenue, September 25. Mr. Francis S. Carmody, the president of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank at Seat Pleasant, is a progressive, broad-minded citizen. He has done much and is doing much for the development of this section of Prince Georges. By his efforts and the efforts of other leading citizens this community has developed to such an extent that it is second to none in the State. His last act to help the citizens of Fairmount Heights in this wise: After completing the Fairmount Heights school house and the establishment of the Industrial Department, the school management found themselves short of funds to erect a carpenter shop. They were short one hundred and fifty dollars. The matter was brought to the attention of Mr. F. S. Carmody. He alone said that he would be glad to help Fairmount Heights, and he advanced the necessary funds. Such thoroughbred men with greater opportunity would do greater service. Give them the opportunity and all will be benefited. The school officials of Prince Georges County are anxious to better the conditions of the colored schools throughout the county. Beginning at Fairmount Heights and Brentwood, they propose to push the work on to success. Hon. O. B. Zantzinger, the School Board and Hon. E. S. Burroughs, the secretary-treasurer of the School Board, have asked the County Commissioners for sufficient funds to keep the colored schools open nine months. Mr. Burroughs, in company with a representative of the State Board of Education, was here Monday. They inspected the industrial department and approved the same. With the efficient services of the teachers, Misses U. J. Wilkes, M. A. Cooper, H. C. DeVille, F. M. Hunt and Mr. James A. Campbell, this will be the best and most prosperous colored school in the county. Mr. Jas. F. Armstrong, the live wire in the community, has been appointed supervisor of the colored schools of the county, and it is expected that other communities will develop along the school line as has Fairmount Heights. Let everybody help him. Tuesday and Wednesday, September 22 and 23, were registration days. Most all the citizens here registered there by placing themselves in position to vote in the coming election. WEST WASHINGTON The choir of Mt. Zion M. E.

AMERICA MUST CHANGE HER DIET Large Population Causes Reduction In Amount of Meat. GORN MAY BE USED MORE. Man, Some Days Will Have a Limited Choice If He Does Not Become a Vegetarian—Estimated That In a Hundred Years Population of Country Will Be 500,000,000. New York.-The diet of Americans will be changed rapidly, as the growing population presses upon the food supply, but it will not be necessary for us to become entirely vegetarian. This is the conclusion reached by Professor J. F. Lyman of the Ohio State university after a study of the available food supply of this country, published in Popular Science There was no food problem in this country two generations ago, when fish were plentiful, pigeons, deer, wild turkeys, waterfowl, quail and buffalo were abundant and wild berries, fruit and nuts could be obtained easily and in large quantities. With the growth of population, however, game practically has disappeared and a very small part of the country's food is supplied by uncultivated plants and trees. Dr. Lyman says: If the present rate of increase continues the population of the United States will approximate 500,000,000 at the end of the present century. Is it possible to feed that number of persons on the product of our 3,000,000 square miles? China and India both support a population as dense, but both of these countries are distinctly agricultural. The mass of people live on the land and are engaged in producing food. In this country the great increase in population is in the cities, while the food-producing class is increasing comparatively slowly. The reports on agricultural products exported from the United States illuminate the food problem in an instructive way. If we compare the exports in 1912 with those for 1900 we find that the amount of cheese shipped abroad declined 85 per cent in that period beef products declined 65 per cent, pork products declined 30 per cent, corn declined 80 per cent, wheat declined 57 per cent. "What do these figures tell? Simply that we have needed the food at home to supply our increasing millions and hence had less to sell in the markets of the world. Can we continue to feed our people by reducing the exports in food stuffs? Obviously not, and in many instances they have been reduced already near the vanishing point. We have even actually begun to import meat and corn. It is significant also that free government land suitable for agricultural purposes is no longer available; hence we cannot look for relief by bringing under the plow large tracts of virgin soil. "Is there likely, then, to be scarcity of food in this country in the near future? No, there is and will be plenty of food, but some changes in dietaries undoubtedly will have to be made. Let us notice. In 1910 for every man, woman and child in the United States there was produced seven bushels of wheat, thirty-two bushels of corn, four bushels of potatoes and forty pounds of sugar. There were six-tenths cattle for each person, six-tenths sheep and seven-tenths swine. Add to this the fruits, vegetables, poultry and dairy products, oats and other small grains and we see that there is plenty of food to go around and to spare. "There was grown in the United States in 1912 corn which, if assembled in one immense field, might have covered Germany or France entirely with its rustling phalanx. How many millions might be nourished by the produce of this tremendous acreage! Here is a great source of food at present utilized in a very slight degree. "Food has two primary functions in the body first, to supply material out of which the body is built and, second, to furnish energy to warm the body and to drive its machinery. Perhaps the second function is the more important. Plants alone have the power to collect solar energy and store it up in a latent or dormant form in their seeds and other parts. Animals may, by eating and digesting these plant materials, liberate and utilize this stored up energy. When corn is fed to steers under favorable conditions 3 per cent of the energy of the corn may be recovered as meat in the edible portion of the carcass. The remaining 97 per cent was used by the animal in its various activities and lost as far as the nutrition of man is concerned. In pork the recovered portion amounts to 16 per cent, and with the dairy cow 16 per cent of the energy of the food is found in the milk produced. Obviously this is a wasteful process, this conversion of grain into meat and milk. It has its justification only in the greater palatability and digestibility of the final products. "Dr. Armsby of the Pennsylvania experiment station draws the conclusion: 'All the edible products which the farmer's acres can yield will be needed for human consumption, and the function of the stock feeder in a permanent system of agriculture will be to utilize those inedible products in which so large a share of the solar energy is held and to render at least a portion of the latter available for human use.'" SOUTH·TO GROW CATTLE. Department of Agriculture Aims to Educate Southern Farmers Washington. With a view to inducing the south to grow beef cattle the men of the department of agriculture whose duty it is to figure for the extension of all branches of animal industry are planning for a 500 acre live stock demonstration farm in Louisiana. It will be the first of its kind in the country. There are breeding farms maintained by other governments, but, so far as known, this is the only one the primary purpose of which is to develop breeds of cattle entirely for their beef producing qualities. The farm is to be located on the dividing line between the cane sugar land and the cotton land of the Pelican State. The boll weevil has made cotton culture in the moist, subtropical part of the state too hazardous. There are many farmers who, when driven out of cotton by the weevil, undertook cane growing. They found, however, that with overflows and occasional frosts, growing cane was about as hazardous as growing cotton. The south is thinking not of dairying, but of growing beef cattle. The farmers have been getting such good prices for their different stock, they have so much corn on hand now, that the weevil has made them think of something other than cotton, that in every county there is a local sentiment favoring the eradication of the tick, a comparatively simple operation, and the growing of cattle for the packing houses. There is nothing wrong with the tick infested cattle from a food point of view, but so long as the tick remains in that country it is next to impossible to improve the breed. The immune cattle are not up to the standard of requirement for profitable shipment. The hauls to market are comparatively long, so it is desirable that the amount of bone, hoof and horn to be transported be reduced to a minimum while the flesh that can be put on the market is brought to the maximum. POPE PIUS X. WAS A CHURCH REFORMER Abolished Veto Privilege of Monarchs In Elections. New York.—In the course of an interview Cardinal Gibbons gave it as his opinion that the world had failed in its estimate of the dead pontiff, Plus X., that the judgment of a future day would place the son of a peasant who was raised to the pontifical throne among the really great men of the twentieth century. The eminent cardinal voiced the thoughts of those who have been the real beneficiaries of the short but active reign of Plus. Gluseppe Sarto was essentially a pope of internal activities. Ninety per cent of his voluminous utterances were addressed to the peoples in all lands who profess the Catholic religion. Many of his predecessors in the Roman see were men of a variety of talents, whereas he had but one—the talent for rooting up and exposing and building up as fast as he revealed the sore spots within his field. It is because Plus was an internal operator that the world as reflected in newspapers, magazines and books has failed. his admirers say, to understand him to have been anything more than a good and kindly old man whom everybody must love. Nobody will ever accuse Gluseppe Sarto of having been able to make "a deal" with monarchs, and he never renewed with any visible aggressiveness the claim of temporal power in the sense that he wished to be known as the pope-king. He began a reformer and dled reforming. One of his first utterances was a condemnation of the privileges of certain rulers of Europe by which they could let it be known that they were against this cardinal and for that one. He annulled their veto privilege. Then he began a series of investigations, always of the church and the people in it—never of any others. He never worried about personalities where his reforms were concerned. He hit hard, then looked at the place he had hit. GIRL'S RECORD WHEAT YIELD. Thirteen-year-old Kansas Maid Has Grain Averaging Forty-seven Bushels. Wichita, Kan.—Cora Patterson, thirteen years old, of Caldwell, is the proudest girl in her neighborhood. Last fall she asked her father for a small plot of his farm near town on which she could experiment with wheat raising. Mr. Patterson allotted his daughter four acres. She plowed the ground, harrowed it and sowed the grain. She cared for it and watched it with an oager eye. The wheat was recently thrashed. It averaged forty-seven bushels to the acre, the best yield in this part of Kansas. In only the cutting and thrashing did Miss Patterson take no part. Chicken Has Two Heads.

Some Results That Have Been Obtained. New Orleans, La. To indicate some of the results of Railroad Day, as inaugurated by Dr. Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, attention is called to a communication addressed by Mr. C. Marshall, superintendent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, New Orleans, La., to Messrs. Robert E. Jones and Walter L. Cohen, who represented the colored people of New Orleans in presenting their compliments to the railroad authorities located in New Orleans: Gentlemen: In answer to your courteous communication of June 8th, I beg to say: 1. A number of our coaches, practically all in the through train service, are equipped with two toilets and a small smoking room. Such of the coaches as are not so equipped will be altered as they are sent to the shops for overhauling. 2. Note foregoing. 3. The arrangement with regard to meals for our colored patrons, now in effect, seems to be satisfactory to them, which is to serve the meals in the dining car, after the white passengers; or, if requested, to send the meals to the coach or sleeper. 4. The cause of complaint relative to the transfer at Nashville on No. 4 has been remedied. 5. Our passenger department is carefully considering some method of accommodations in the sleeping cars for the colored travel, but as yet I am unable to say what will be done in this respect. 6. We will endeavor to remedy the matter of the section hands being placed in coaches, or compartments, assigned to our colored patrons; in some cases, however—emergencies—it cannot be avoided. 7. I beg your patience until we can work out more fully these measures; I rely upon your believing that we earnestly desire to do everything possible in this direction. The spirit of the above letter shows that a great gain has been made as a result of presenting, in a manly, straightforward way, to the railroad authorities the complaints of the colored people of this section. Reports from other parts of the country are to the effect that the railroad authorities, in nearly every case, have listened with sympathetic interest to the petitions which have been presented to them.

September 10, by Mrs. Sophia Wilson. The concert consists of two plays: J. "Murder Will Out." Characters were: Mrs. Sohpia Wilson, as Grandna Stiles; Miss Susie Lee, as Lena Stiles; Mrs. Lizzie Wilson, as Bridget O'Flaherty; Mrs. Mark Harris, as Dinah; Miss Bessie Wilson, as May Taylor; Miss Rosa Johnson, as Minnie Sprague. The attempts of Lena to hoodwink the old lady and their final exposure kept the audience in a ripple of laughter. The quarrel between Dinah and the the funny Irish maid Bridget O'Flaherty was exceedingly laughable. 2. "The Bachelor Baby." The characters were: Mrs. Catherine Sedgewick, as Miss Smithers; M. E. Harris, as Dick Summers; Miss Susie Lee, as Elizabeth Clarkson; B. S. Wilson, as police officer. Dick Summers, a struggling artist, on whose hands a baby was left while he is at the station awaiting his fiance, was full of action from start to finish. The characters, acted their part lovely and we were delighted with a grand success. DR. OLDEN'S VIEWS. Sensible Talk and Good Advice. Are we growing weaker and wiser?

MOUNTAINS SWEPT INTO THE DEEP SEA Divine Power to Be Exercised by Christ's Kingdom. PASSING OF THE OLD ORDER Many of the Psalms Messianic—Figurative Descriptions of the Work of the Millennium—Passing Away of Sin and Selfishness—A New Order of Peace and Righteousness—The Heavenly Over-Lord Master of the Situation—Glorious Outcome of Joy and Blessing to All Mankind. Sept. 20.—Pastor Russell's discourse today dealt with the symbolic language of the Psalms His text was, "Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be removed," and the mountains carried into the midst of the sea" (Psalm 16:2). Those who have seen the Sept. 20.—Pastor Russell's discourse today dealt with the symbolic language of the Psalms. His text was, "Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be removed, and the mountains carried into the midst of the sea" (Psalm 46.2) Those who have seen the beautiful film, "Christ Walking on the Sea," in THE PHOTO DRAMA OF CREATION, will all the more readily appreciate the time of thought which the Pastor set forth. He said: I have chosen for my text a symbolical prophecy which I believe to be rapidly nearing fulfilment. All Bible students recognize the fact that many of the Psalms are Messianic; that is to say, they apply to the time of the inauguration of Messiah's Millennial Kingdom. Some of them detail the joy, peace and blessings which will then prevail amongst men, when the great leveling processes of that time will raise all the worthy poor and degraded and will humble all the proud, establishing society under such conditions that the new order of things is symbolically styled in Scripture "a new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." Others of the Psalms describe in highly figurative language the work of the Millennium. By way of illustration the Pastor quoted at length from Psalm 45: "Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh. O Most Mighty, with Thy glory and Thy majesty; and in Thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and Thy right hand shall teach Thee terrible things. Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; whereby the people fall under Thee." Here, he declared, the great Redeemer is pictured as the glorious conquering King of the Millennial Age, and His victory over every opposing influence is emphasized. As the Prophet Isaiah says, "Every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear" to the King of earth. His right hand, which shall teach Him terrible things, is an expression symbolic of the Divine Power which will be exercised at the inauguration of the Kingdom. The sharp arrows that will pierce the King's enemies to the heart and cause them symbolically to fall before Him represent His messages of truth and grace, which will then conquer as they do not now, except in the case of a few. A sample of those now slain by the arrows of God's Word is furnished us in the account of St. Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost. There the Apostle preached the Truth plainly, thrusting in the "Sword of the Spirit" up to the hilt. He told the hearers that they and their rulers had crucified the Prince of Life. The record is that "they were cut to the heart"; and this was the greatest blessing that could possibly have come to them (Acts 222). Similarly, during the Millennium, the arrows of Truth will smile down all opposition: and mankind, cut to the heart with proper appreciation of their own sinfulness and of God's mercy, will fall before the great King, accepting mercy upon His gracious terms of full surrender. The Day of Trouble Pictured. The Psalm of which our text is part is a Messianic Psalm. Prophetically and symbolically it tells about the trouble incident to the passing away of the present order of sin and selfishness and the inauguration of the new order of righteousness and love under the great Mediatorial Kingdom of Christ. Whether the events predicted in Scripture come to pass in our day or not, we hold that they will come and will be in full comportment with these prophetic pictures; for they were surely written for our instruction, as St. Paul declares.2 Timothy 3:16. As Bible students we do well to take heed to every item of the Divine revelation. In order to keep ourselves in touch with the Infinite One and in sympathy with all the features of His great and wonderful Program. Let us note the particulars of the Psalm in detail. The Psalm begins with the beautiful assurance, "God is our Refuge and Strength, a very present Help in trouble." How comforting: How strengthening: Those who have entered into covenant relationship with God through Christ, through faith and consecration, and who are abiding in His love, may feel serene in every trouble. Not merely in the final trouble, with which sin and sorrow will be brought to an end, not merely when Satan shall be bound. will God be the Refuge of His saints, but in all times and under all circumstances, will "the peace of God which passeth all understanding" keep the hearts of His faithful people. "Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains he carried into the midst of the sea." Fear is the great torment of the majority of our race. It is the lash which the Adversary uses to drive away from God those who need His sympathy, love and succor. To such the Lord speaks, tenderly saying, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." God declares His name to be Love Through the Prophet Isaiah He says. "This people's fear toward Me is taught by the precepts of men"—not by His Word. He would have us trust Him as a great, loving Father; for He says, "Like as a father pitchit his children, so the Lord compassonth those who reverence Him." (Psalm 103:13.) As love, more love, perfect love, comes into our hearts, it more and more casts out the fear which the Adversary would inculcate and which has burned into men's minds and consciences the "doctrines of demons," to which the Apostle Paul refers.—1 Timothy 4:1. Biblical Symbology Explained. To His people the Lord says, "Fear not their Fear, neither be afraid." "Let the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, rule in your hearts." Be faithful; be trustful! Accept the assurance that "all things shall work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." This class will not fear when the earth shall be removed and when the mountains shall be carried into the midst of the sea. They might indeed be astonished and in trepidation if the reference were to literal mountains; but the language is figurative. The people of the Lord, under His instruction, will not be in darkness, that the Day of the Lord shall overtake them as a thief, although it will come as a snare upon the whole world.—Luke 21:35. In the symbolology of the Bible the term earth is used to represent the social structure; for the mountains which constitute the backbones of the continents, symbolize the kingdoms of the world, supported by the social structure. As the earth represents the fixity of the social order the sea represents the restless, turbulent, dissatisfied classes which lash against the "earth" and continually seek to swallow it up. The removal of the "earth" symbolizes the disturbance of the social order. The swallowing up of the "mountains" by the seas represents the overwhelming of some of the great kingdoms of the earth by the uprising of the people in anarchistic rebellion against social order. The fact that the Scriptures prophetically describe the overwhelming of the social order and the great governments of the earth must not be understood to signify that the Bible counsels revolution or anarchy. On the contrary, God's people are counseled throughout the Scriptures to live peaceably with all men, so far as possible. They are instructed not to use carnal weapons, not to take to the sword for the settlement of disputes, but rather to suffer injury. They are counseled that God is the great Over-Lord, and that although He is not now ruling directly amongst men He is fully the Master of the situation in that at any time He could-overthrow all of his opponents. God does not acknowledge that His will is now done in the earth, but He tells us that by and by it will be done here, and He encourages us to pray for it, to hope for it and to wait for it. He tells us that Satan is now the "Prince of this world" by virtue of the fact that he devises the minds and the hearts of the majority. God would have His people understand something of His great Program, but He would keep this hidden from all others. Hence arises the impossibility of explaining spiritual things to a carnal mind (1 Cor 2:14) "None of the wicked shall understand" - Daniel 12:10 Divine Supervision of Human Affairs. The great Creator has contented Himself with such a supervision of this world as leaves unch' responsibility for human affairs in human hands. He merely interferes to raise up or to cast down when the interests of His Program may demand. For instance, take the case of the Pharaoh who was raised to the throne of Egypt in Moses' day. There God raised to the throne a man of great determination, and hindered from reaching the throne other men not so favorable to the carrying out of the Divine Purposes. Thus, without interfering with the free moral agency of the king of Egypt, God used the wrath of man to praise Him, and the remainder He restrained. Similarly, He had previously raised Joseph to the governorship of Egypt for His own purposes. "The Psalmist describes the tumult of that day of overwhelming trouble, when God's Kingdom will be established, saying of the sea that will swallow up the mountains, "The waters thereof roar and be troubled; the mountains shake with the swelling thereof." It is probably true that such socialistic and anarchistic roarings have many times in the past caused the kingdoms of earth and their rulers to tremble. But, according to the Scriptures, some day the final catastrophe will occur. Who can tell how near that day may be! Quite a large number of earnest Bible students concur in the thought that such a climax is indicated in the prophecies, and that it will be reached in the year 1915. But be the date as it may, the fact remains. The prophecy which we are examining is nearly three thousand years old, but it is as good, as sure and as meaningful today as ever it was We are not of those who would harass the minds of our fellows with fear. Rather would we point them to the fact that behind this cloud of trouble there is a glorious "silver lining" of Millennial joy and blessing for all the families of the earth. Rather would we encourage all who have the hearing ear to zeal and faithfulness in their consecration, that they may "make their calling and election sure" to a share in the Kingdom glories and "escape those things coming upon the earth." In a word, the Gospel of Christ is not a message of damnation, fear and torture, but "Good Tidings of great joy which shall be unto all people," as the angel declared. Deliverance of the Church Pictured. In the fourth and fifth verses of Psalm 46 the Church of Christ is symbolically pictured as the City of God, His dwelling-place; and the Truth is represented as a river, making the City clean, fresh, glad. The proclamation is made, "God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved! God shall help her early in the morning"—early in the Millennial morning. The Church is to be "a First-fruits unto God." Her salvation as the Bride of Christ will be accomplished early in this Millennial morning. Oh, how glad will be all those accounted worthy of a place in that elect Church—the Church of the First-borns, whose names are written in Heaven The promise. "She shall not be moved." Is in agreement with the first verse in assuring us that the people of God will be preserved from fear, doubt and misunderstanding of the events of that Time of Trouble, and that their faith will enable them to triumph at a time when others will be in great distress and perplexity, as our Lord foretold.—Luke 21:20. "The Gentiles Ragged." Beginning with the 6th verse, the Prophet gives a brief synoptical picture of the Time of Trouble and its consummation and of the inauguration of universal peace. "The heathen [Gentile peoples] raged." These words describe the tumult which will prevail amongst humanity before the climax of the great Time of Trouble is reached. Angry voices arise from public meetings, and in the more private meetings of the lodges of Labor and Capital, as well as through the columns of the Press to the extent permitted. In the various nations there is a fear of tumult through the raging of the public Press, and everything possible is being done to restrain it. In some countries the Press has been "muzzled" for some time past. Whoever sees that anarchy is the most dreadful terror confronting civilization must realize the wisdom of reasonable restraints upon his own tongue and upon the tongues of others. Nevertheless, the Scriptures show us that all effort to suppress the tumult and the angry voices of men selfishly raging against each other will fall. The prophetic picture continues—"God uttered His voice, the earth melted." The unfaithfulness of humanity, the clamor of greed, both in rich and in poor, will be answered by the Almighty. "Giver of every good and perfect gift." He will "utter His voice"; or, as another Prophet declares, "He will speak to the people in His anger," for their correction, for their reproval. The result will be that the symbolic earth (society) will melt—the social structure will disintegrate. Another Scripture declares that so great will be the disintegration that "every man's hand will be against his neighbor." But the Prophet hastens to assure us that in the midst of all this tumult the Lord will be with His consecrated people. We read, "The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge." This promise applies primarily to the consecrated Church of Christ-Spiritual Israel; but it also applies secondarily to Natural Israel, the Jewish nation. These will participate in this Time of Trouble, but will be saved out of it. As another Prophet declares, "It is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it."—Jer. 30:7. In this Time of Trouble the Lord's jewels, His saints, will be gathered to their Heavenly home. After this has taken place, Divine favor will begin to return to Israel, as pointed out by the Apostle in Romans 11:25-30. The Psalm closes with a picture of the devastation which will prevail throughout the world as a result of human selfishness and blindness. Capital and Labor will rise to a terrible catalysis of anarchy, awful for rich and poor alike. Only God's saints will then have peace; and it will be the result of their knowledge of the grand outcome, of their faith in God and of their willingness to accept whatever His providence may send. All this trouble, however, will but prepare the world to realize that although men may plan and arrange ever so wisely and well, all their plans will prove futile as long as selfishness and ignorance are in control. It will convince all that the only feasible way of correcting the difficulty is by the setting up of a strong and righteous government, which will enforce the principles of righteousness, until gradually the stony heartedness of men will, under favorable influences, give place to tender-heartedness the image of fod, in which Adam was created and which was lost through disobedience. Mark the grand symbolic apostrophe with which the Psalm closes. May it lessons draw us near the Fountain of Grace and give us rest, peace and joy! "He [Immanuel] maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the charlot in fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen [Gentiles]; I will be exalted in the earth" BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDY ON LET NO ONE TAKE THY CROW. Revelation 3:11—Sept. 27. "I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown."—Revelation 3:11. TODAY'S Study is a prophecy by Jesus Hirnself. Picturing the seven stages of His Church, the Master used these words in addressing one of them. There is, nevertheless, an appropriateness in the Lord's counsels at any time. So we now, as well as those who were particularly addressed, may find instruction in our text. It teaches, in harmony with the entire Bible, that there can be no remedy for the reign of Sin and Death, except that which God has provided, to be applied at the Second Coming of our Redeemer, when He will set up His Kingdom. Meantime, God's Plan is working, and will ultimately bring a blessing to the whole world, the blessing which God has promised since Abraham's day—the blessing of all the families of the earth. RAINBOW CROWN From the beginning God has foreseen how the six great Days of the reign of Sin and Death could be wisely permitted, in view of the power to be exercised by Messiah's Kingdom. Backed by Power Divine. Messiah will be quite competent to cope with sin, sorrow, pain, death—everything that now troubles humanity. The time appointed of the Father, a thousand years, will be abundantly long. When the Church will have been selected from the world, as the Bride, the Lamb's Wife and Joint-heir in the Kingdom, everything will be ready for the blessed work of bringing all the willing and obedient back to the image and likeness of the Creator, lost through Adam's sin and garnished by Christ's death. Encouragement to the Church. Our text addresses, not the world, not the nominal Church, but the true Church. These, having turned from sin, having accepted Christ, having given their hearts to God, through Christ having been accepted of the Father and begotten of the Holy Spirit, are children of God; and, as the Apostle says, "If children, then heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ." (Romans 8:17). A crown of glory is set apart for each son, thus received of the Father, and the name of each is named in the Lamb's Book of Life. So far as God is concerned, the matter is so weak. But it still remains for the chosen to fulfill their Covenant. If they are presented their bodies a living sacrifice, they are to continue in that attitude of presenting their bodies gladly, willing to endure, to suffer, to be anything and everything that God would be pleased to have them be. All who do this continue to grow in grace, knowledge and character-likeness to the Lord Jesus, and will thereby make their cathing and election sure. But should any neglect this Covenant of Sacrifice, and through fear of death be subject to bondage either to sin or to sectarian errors, they would thereby fall to maintain their election and to make it sate. After a time of testing they would be relegated to a secondary place; they would no longer be counted of the Royal Priesthood, even though they might still maintain their standing as Levites, servants of the Priests. The thought of our text is: "Be of good courage. It will not be long until I will come to receive you to Myself. Let the thought of the Kingdom cheer, strengthen, comfort you, and enable you to do God's will faithfully, nobly, courageously, loyally. Do not let slip from you the blessed relationship which I established for you when I made you acceptable on the basis of your Covenant to be dead with Me, to suffer with Me, to strive daily for the great prize of joint-heirship in My Kingdom. "The crown is yours now, by virtue of the arrangement which I have made with you as your Advocate and of the Covenant of Sacrifice which you have made with Me. Do not allow your crown to pass to another! If any one of you is unfaithful, God will not permit him to have a share in the Kingdom, but will apportion another name instead of HIs." The Number of the Elect. This Scripture, with others, shows us definitely that the Church is to be with others, shows the Church is to be composed of a fixed number-not one more or less. This is illustrated in the Law pertaining to the Jewish high priest. The priest's head represented Jesus; his body, the Church. As the Apostle says, "Now are ye the Body of Christ, and members in The Typical High Priest particular" (1 Corinthians 12:27). According to the Mosaic Law no one could serve as high priest unless he had the full number of fingers, toes, etc.; and no one could serve who had a superfluous member (Leviticus 21:17-21). Thus the Lord indicated the completeness of the antitypical Priesthood, The Christ. Those who, after having been tested as to their loyalty, prove to be not sufficiently loyal to be of the Bride class, will constitute a Great Company, whose number no man knows.

The site is the plot bounded by Fifteenth, Sixteenth and W Street and Florida Avenue. To many the hill has been known for years as Sixteenth Street Hill. There will be few changes in the steep hill. The top of the hill will be extended on grade as far south as possible, where a concrete cliff will drop it to the lower level. On top of this cliff will be a paved plaza and walk affording a view of the city and the Potomac Valley almost to Alexandria, or as far as the eye can reach. In the center will be long pool. From this pool will run a continuous cascade of rippling water to the lower end of the park. where it will flow into another great pool flanked by two fountains and forming the background for a statue site. The upper end of the park above the cliff will be level and will have a double driveway for carriages and automobiles arched by shade trees.

CLOSE UP WORSHIPPING But Saloons May Run Mr. Editor: Allow me space to defend the cause of Christ against the influence of race prejudice and intemperance. The case in question is that of a mission on Fourteenth Street, near H Street Northeast, known as the Northeast Baptist Mission, established there by a Christian worker and evangelist named Mr. A. A. Webber, of German nativity, but a citizen for the past twenty years of this country. He opened the mission on a broad and Christian basis by extending the hand of brotherhood to the colored people to join with them, and the result was that the Northeast Baptist Church was permitted also to worship with them. This has been the case for the past two years. Another department, literary in nature, which was indeed a school of instruction along all lines of endeavor, was added and Mrs. Helen A. Davis was called upon to take charge, which she did without compensation this department has been flourishing for the past two years. The outcome from the united efforts of this mission has been one dyeing and pressing establishment, of which a young and enterprising man, Mr. Wm. Kenny, is the proprietor; an undertaker's establishment, of which Mr. John W. Thompson is manager: a dining room, of which Mr. Getz is proprietor. Such progress has engendered bitter feelings on the part of a white Baptist Church around the corner on Maryland Avenue; and the first evidence of a determination to eliminate the Negroes from doing any sort of business in that vicinity was an attack ness in that vicinity was an attack made upon the undertaker's establishment. So thoroughly have they done their work they have lost nearly their trade. We could not feel that they would attack the church of God. This has been done, and through the complaint of a saloon keeper it is reported by Mr. Webber, a reputable authority, named Mr. McCarthy of H Street, near Fourteenth Street, whose saloon is about 300 feet away.

We ask that every church take up this matter and fight it to a finish. The situation is bad enough with the condition of today. Our rights are being trampled upon and stamped out by degrees. This church has not a permanent minister, yet white and colored missionaries visit it from time to time. Sufficient to say; the white contingent of this mission are making a noble fight for its preservation. Let us do our part. As this mission is benefiting the Negro wayfarers as well as the whites, that drop in from time to time, spiritually and materially.

PARAGRAPHIC NEWS. The "Star Spangled Banner" was 100 years old September 14, 1914. This song was written by the young poet and lawyer, Francis Scott Key, 100 years ago at the battle of Baltimore. It was during the War of 1812, when our country was fighting England, that the British soldiers won a victory over the Americans at Bladenburg and then marched upon the city of Washington, where they burned the capitol, the President's residence and many government offices, taking many Americans as prisoners. All night long, September 13, 1814, the British poured shot and shell upon Fort McHenry and the plucky Americans at the little fort sent Jack an answering volley. Francis Scott Key and two other prisoners paced the deck of the British ship anxiously watching, fearful lest the Americans be obliged to surrender. The bombs bursting in air made such a vivid glare that the men could get a glimpse of the flag floating over the fort. Then all would be in darkness: In the early dawn of September 14, 1814, the Americans looked toward the fort and rejoiced to see that the flag was still flying and that the English had given up the attack upon the city. Key was so happy he seized an old letter and scribbled on the back of it a poem which expressed the feeling he had as he watched the flag through the long perilous night. When Key returned to Baltimore he wrote this song and gave it to a friend. From that time to this it has been printed and sung everywhere—in the streets, in the theater, and at last all over the country. Today it is a national song. Plans have been completed for the Masonic Temple, which is to be erected on the fine site at Tenth and You Streets. The building will be five stories high and will cost about $125,000. It will be one of the handsomest structures owned by the race when completed. JUSTH'S OLD STAND. 619 D St. N. W.
