VOL. XXXVII, NO. 16 BAPTISTS SQUABBLE It Met in Savannah, Georgia—An effort to Control the National Training School for Women and Girls—Will Wreck the School as it did the National Baptist Printing Plant—A Second Boyd Disaster—Miss Nannie H. Burroughs Supported by the Nation—Revs. W. H. Brooks and W. H. Jernagin Stand Pat—Baptist Grafters Routed Errors in the Auditor's Report—Profit in the Hands of Trustees—The Mob in Control but Miss Burroughs Sustained—She Holds Forth and the People Are with Her. The split wing of the National Bap The spirit Convention met in Savannah, Ga., September 6th to 11th. This split wing of the National Baptist Convention which is repudiated by Dr. Boyd, the recognized leader of the Baptist denomination in the United States, split hairs over the auditor's report which was ten thousand dollars out of the way and filled with errors. The auditor, M. M. Rogers, submitted his report in which he alleged that Miss Nannie H: Burroughs had been paid REV. WALTETR H. BROOKS Who Flayed the Texas Leader Who Lead the Mob That Attempted to Control Baptist Woman's and Girls' Training School. five thousand dollars in salary, but it turned out that she had only received two hundred dollars. This report was vigorously attacked by the friends of the Training School, namely, Drs. Brooks and Jernagin and others. Then it was decided to correct the report by sending out five hundred supplementary reports to which Miss Burroughs and her friends denounced and at least twenty different committees waited on Miss Burroughs to persuade her to stay with the convention, but she refused and declared that the National Training School was controlled by, a board of trustees and the property that this distinguished woman has accumulated has been deeded to the trustees, who hold it perpetually under articles of incorporation. This REV. W. H. JERNAGIN Whose Logic and Reasoning Had No Effect on the Second Set of Grafters. REV. W. H. JERAGIN Whose Logic and Reasoning Had No Effect on the Second Set of Graffers. bolting convention from the regular organization is not recognized by the established and legal board of trustees and therefore wi" not be permitted to enter the grounds of the Training School. Miss Burroughs, through her individual efforts, has erected a monument to the negro Baptists and thousands of the contributors to this school will stand by her and the school under her supervision. Charges were made against the Texas leader of the convention mob which was in control at Savannah that the National Training School for Women and Girls at Washington will not be wrecked like the National Baptist Publishing Company at Memphis, Tenn. The scheme of this mob leader is to obtain control of the Woman's plant and all property for speculative and personal purposes, as was evidenced in this meeting. Boyd's Prediction. Dr. Boyd of Nashville, Tennessee, withdrew from this mob at Chicago, Ill., September, 1915, and declared when he left that their next victim would be the 'National Training School for Women and Girls. It was not expected that the grafters would start so soon, but this time they have a more staunch wall to knock down and a keener and more diplomatic manager in Miss Burroughs to contend with. This mob has no more right or authority to manage or dictate to the bona fide trustees of this school than Dr. Boyd, who heads the regular organization and he has too much sense to attempt it. Every leading Baptist minister in the city of Washington and throughout the country will stand by Miss Burroughs and the National Training School for Women. A full history of this attempted graft will appear in the next issue of The Bee Letters and telegrams from all over the country are pouring into Miss Burroughs, telling her to stand pat as the entire Baptist and other denominations are with her. ARTHUR FLEMING ALBERT: There is something *mexpressibly* sad in the taking off or the young of whatever character. But when a man or a woman grounded in the very, best elements of manhood, or womanhood and possessing the ability and disposition to lead an honorable and Christian life and to lift up the race; when one so honest, so earnest, so capable and promising is stricken down as was Arthur F. Albert, we are almost tempted to exclaim in our anguish and dismay, "O Death, thou hast come like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flower of all the field!" Arthur F. Albert was born May 13, 1888, in the city of Washington, D. C. As a boy he was cross-bearer at St. Luke's P. E. Church, and later, a member of the Brotherhood of Saint Andrew. As a Christian, he was consistent, tolerant and attentive to all his religious duties. In early childhood he manifested strong predilections for mechanics of such promise that his parents selected the Armstrong Manual High School as most suitable to his intellectual development. He proved an apt student and a general favorite among his fellow pupils and instructors; was captain of Company D and captured the first and last honors for that company in competitive drill, and graduated with honor from the school. At the age of fifteen years he entered as an apprentice the U. S. Navy Yard at Washington, served his time as such and was honorably charged at his own request as a first class machinist in order to accept the position of instructor of mechanics in the Vocational School of Washington. He also prosecuted a course at the Catholic University and was at the point of being awarded the regree of A.R. by Howard University. Mr. Albert was a profound student of his craft, a writer of acknowledged ability, as evidenced by the fact that his articles found ready acceptance with magazines specializing in subjects relating to engineering and manufacturing. On April 30, 1912, Mr. Albert married Miss Ethel Thornton, then a pupil at the M Street High School, a very beautiful and cultured lady, the marriage ceremony being solenized at Calvary Episcopal Church by the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett. Mr. Albert was Junior Warden of Pythagoras Lodge F. A. A. M.; was recognized as a veritable social and civic force for race betterment, a dutiful son, an exemplary husband, a loving brother and a general favorite throughout the circle of his acquaintance. After a period of six months' illness during which he manifested wonderful patience and Christian fortitude, on the morning of September 2, Arthur Fleming Albert, surrounded by loving parents, sisters, a most devoted of wives, and friends, resigned his spirit to the God who gave it, and left behind him the record of a life well spent in constructive effort and race betterment which may well be emulated by the progressive youth of the land. The funeral was in charge of Undertaker Robert G. McGuire. Those surviving Mr. Albert are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Albert, two sisters, Mrs. Ada Albert Watts and Mrs. Ella Albert Brown, one brother, Mr. John H. Albert, and his widow, Mrs. Ethel Thornton Albert, all of whom are an honor to the community in which they live. PROMOTED. Mr. Henry A. Plummer of 721 Thirteenth street northwest has been promoted to a clerkship by City Postmaster-Chance. This is a worthy and deserving promotion which was strictly made on merit. CALLER.

[Image of a man in a dark coat and white shirt, standing with his hands clasped in front of him.] NEW JERSEY REPUBLICANS He Addresses the Republican Convention of New Jersey, Accompanied by His Wife, Daughter and Grand Daughter. Special to The Washington Bee. Long, Branch, N. J., September, 1916.—Thomas L. Jones, Esq., with his wife, Mrs. Mary E. Jones, and their charming little grand-daughter, accompanied by her aunt, Clarice A. Jones, arrived in this city a few days ago and are stopping at 46 Julie avenue, the home of Mrs. Rose B. Temple, sister of the Washington attorney. Among those who were in attendance were Hon. Chas. Taylor, Dayton, Ohio; Mrs. Marle B. Towns, New Jersey; Hon. D. T. Johnson, New Jersey; Thos. Liverpool, of Pennsylvania; Mr. Claude Temple, Long Branch, N. J.; and others. Lawyer. Jones was invited to address the delegates at the closing session. He said in part: "Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: 'I come before you this evening in the midst of a mometous political campaign, 'as result of which will exert a profound and far-reaching influence on the destiny of the American people. 'I come to lend a feeble voice in support of the great principles of the republican party, the party of Lincoln and Grant, and to direct attention to the scandalous abuse of power which has characterized democratic control of the government in its relations to the colored American citizen. 'Four years ago, as the result of a bitter political feud between two rival leaders' of the republican party, the democratic party was brought into power. "Mr. Wilson having in verbal and written utterances, assured the colored people of the country that in the event, of his election, he would accord them full justice, we felt that possibly the time had come when our people could, with self-respect, divide their political allegiance with advantage to themselves. A very considerable proportion of our votes was thrown in the democratic column, after a most elaborate campaign had been waged by democratic leaders of both races among our people. Hardly, however, had Mr. Wilson taken, the oath of ofice before there sprang up an organization calling itself the "Democratic Fair Play Association" with headquar ters at Washington and ramifications throughout the country, which commenced to wage relentless warfare on all colored men and women in the civil service—one day demanding that they should all be driven out and another that they should all be segregated in a separate department of the government. "This organization pressed its attention and its slogan upon the public through the medium or the daily press and by means of frequent meetings which were addressed by democratic leaders in sympathy with the movement. In time it finally passed out of existence, but not, however, before its malevolent influence had made itself permanently felt, and is still being felt by the most infamous-segregation insult—the lavatory and toilet segregation—to which any people in any country or age has ever been victimized by. This infamy originated with Mr. McAdoo's administration of the affairs of the Treasury Department, the son-in-law of Woodrow Wilson. "Time and again this indefensible and brutal departmental regulation was brought to the attention of the President, and its abolition requested; but this gratuitous and barbarous insult to the colored people of the country still exists. Instead of at once abolishing this regulation as soon as it was brought to his attention; the President before a delegation of representative colored "Americans who had called upon him to protest the order, entered into a most elaborate defense of segregation in the government departments. "His attitude on this matter being thoroughly well understood by petty bureau heads, a quiet reign of terror was created and lasted for many months, until the northern press took up the matter and severely scored the administration for its injustice. "Colored clerks were dismissed from the service without cause. Others were demoted in salary and all were made to feel the inhospitality of this democratic administration. Men who had through years of faithful service worked their way up to high grade positions were sent down to lower grades in violation of the civil service law and of conon every day decency. "If a criminal indictment could be drawn against the administrative heads responsible for this "shameless abuse of the civil service," as Mr. Hughes in his acceptance speech characterizes it, there would probably be more counts in the indictment than has ever been tried in any single criminal cause in the courts of this country. But apart from the mistreatment of our highly capable and efficient colored employees of the classified service, those offices which have always been held by our people have been taken away from us in spite of the assurances of fair play which Mr. Wilson made to the colored voters of the country four years ago. "When the heroes of the 10th United States Cavalry, who gave up their lives at Carrizal, were interred at Arlington with full military honors, the press reported that the President sent wreathes of flowers to be placed on their biers. These heroic victims of a misguided military policy, whose gallantry in Mexico excited the admiration of all men, thus forced reluctant recognition of their meritorious conduct from the very man who still maintains that their kinsmen must enter nothing but. Jim Crow toilers in the bureaus presided over by his son-in-law, Mr. McAdoo. "Mr. Wilson's policy in dealing with our colored citizens is the identical policy of the Bourbon democracy of the South whence he comes. "They learn nothing. They forget nothing." Living in the 20th century with its great world sweep of popular liberty, when castes and privilege are crumbling everywhere throughout the earth, he would have some reminder of the good old days before the war under his administration, and thus he stoops very low to stigmatize and insult the weak. "He can not however stop the great and irresistible progress of our people. Nothing can stop it; for the hand of God Almighty is directing it, as he directed the progress of the Jews through the Red Sea and out of a wilderness into the promised land of opportunity. "Grover Cleveland was a democrat. He came to the presidency twenty years after the close of the Civil War. Our people at that time had made no such progress as they have since made in the various activities of the nation. And yet this great northern democrat gave the colored race no cause to complain, either of insult or injustice. And although few colored men supported him for the presidency he recognized the equal citizenship of the race by high official appointments, by protecting colored office holders in the civil service and would have had his right hand cut off before he would have stooped so low as to sanction the segregation infamy which Woodrow Wilson has officially endorsed. "During the last four years democratic party leaders in Congress have time and again attempted to corrupt the Federal Statute Books by the enactment of 'Jim Crow' bills introduced from time to time by southern members of Congress, but which were defeated through the vigilance and persistent opposition of our republican friends there. "The democratic party does not be 'Continued to page 4' RALLYING TO MUDD Republicans of 5th Congressional District to Support the Party Nominee. Fifth Congressional District of Maryland Aroused—A Vigorous Campaign Opened—Big Meetings to be Held Daily. Held here Prince George's County, Md.—The Maine election has stimulated the republicans throughout the country, especially in Maryland. The political pot is boiling in the Fifth District as never before. Congressman Mudd, who is campaigning for re-election, is visiting the people in all parts of the district, asking for the votes of the people and his party for his return to Congress. Mr. Mudd is entitled to a re-election on the splendid record he has made in the first session of the 64th Congress. Belonging to the minority party and with political odds against him, he succeeded in having passed a bill for a new bridge at Indian Head, besides securing thirty days annual leave of absence for the navy yard employees. He has managed to get through a great deal of useful legislation for his Maryland Constituents, regardless of their political faith. His next important move was to introduce a bill for a national military road from Washington to Annapolis; this last bill is indeed one of the most important ones introduced and when it is finally passed, it will be one of the greatest monuments to the state of Maryland. The Fifth Congressional district is working for his re-election and the voters declare that he is bound to win. Occasionally you will hear a discordant note. Republicans declare that this is no time for political treachery or deception; white and black will fight in the open where they can be seen. The cry is, let every, man hoist and wave his colors and march on sure victory under the republican party. It is necessary for the republican party to win in the next election to enable the people to live. They can not exist or live unless they send men to Congress who believe in the fundamental principles of the republican party. It seems that Congressman Mudd has been doing all in his power to serve his constituents. The colored voters, as well as the white voters, are particularly interested in the improvement of the state roads. Maryland is a great state and progressive men must be elected to Congress who will work for the advancement and progress of the people regardless of their condition or political affiliation. Mr. Mudd is a true son of Maryland. The remarkable progress and strides that he has made are evidences of his worth and value. He has behind him some of the best and strongest men in his district who are confident that he will be re-elected by a large majority. Meetings will be held daily in every county in the Fifth district. Prominent speakers will be heard from now on. From Boston, Mass., 12:20 P. M., September 9, 1916. Henry Neal. 4407 Florida Avenue, Washington, D.C. Dear Henry: Kindly meet Mrs. James Henry Townsend, widow of the heroic fireman, who perished at his post upon the U. S. Memphis with representative body of Washington colored citizens, upon her arrival Sunday at 1:35 p. m. Extend the lady every possible courtesy. Funeral of Fireman Townsend at the Arlington National Cemetery. In response to the above telegram received by Mr. Henry Neal of the United Capital, messenger to Speaker Clark, to meet Mrs. James Townsend, whose husband, James Townsend, lost his life on the Memphis as fireman, the following gentlemen met the Madame at the Union Station: Mr. Henry Neal, Judge Robert H. Terrell and Mr. Salterwhite. His remains were interred in Arlington Cemetery Monday. This is the kind of man Major Curley of Boston is and the confidence and respect he has in Mr. Neal. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Ten thousand-dollars was asked for to entertain the visiting Odd Fellows and yet the visitors had to pay as they entered. A financial secretary was named but he was not permitted to act. Was not this rather strange that no published account has been made of those who have contributed to the entertainment of the visitors? It was a misarranged affair. The publicity committee failed to do its duty, notwithstanding the great number of editors and would-be journalists connected with the organization. You had to guess at the line of route of the parade. In the Odd Fellows, like all other fraternal organizations, there is much jealousy among the membership and just much backbiting, as there is strong ward politicians. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Georgia didn't come up strong as in days gone by. My good friend, Col. Johnson never fails to show up even under adverse circumstances. The democratic manager, Mr. Mc Cormack, declared on Monday during the progress of the Maine election that the democrats of Maine were certain of winning the election in that state. Now, on Thursday morning they declared that the result was no more that what they expected. O how frivolous! The result of the Maine election is an indication of what will transpire in November. The Sage predicts a republican landslide. I have no doubt of republican success in November. I was amused last week when I saw a published account of a delegated republican state organization. Of course, some republicans don't know when they are dead. My friend, Jesse H. Foster, was the only name suggested that will carry any weight among the republicans in the city. All others belong to havebeens. If they are in hopes of naming Chapin Brown national committeeman they are mistaken. He will never be national committeeman of the District of Columbia. The District republicans want a representative republican who has some weight or will have weight with the next republican president. I suppose this new alleged State Committee represents the entire state republican party in the city. Of course it is self constituted, self delegated, self appointed and never elected by the republicans in this city. I wonder who told this self constituted republican state organization, without a constituency, that they represent the people? The few hold over republicans, those who have been so inimical to the negro, will now begin to sing another song. They no doubt will in form President-elect Hughes that they have always been loyal to the cause of the republican party. My ood friend, Armond W. Scott, struck a popular chord when he won against the field in Philadelphia, Pa., last month. Mr. Scott's administration will no doubt be a popular one. His friends are loyal and will support his efforts in the interest of the order. Armond is level-headed no matter what may be said against him. If you have not been in the northeast section of the city you should call and see my ood friend, Dr. Pope. He is the Adonis in that section, although the females refuse to give him credit for his good looks, they all seem to admire him at any rate. Now just when the doctor intends to hand in his declination to all female admirers, I am not able to tell. If you want a good sociable time, I find the northeast the most genial. It is more on a southern order of hospitality than any section of the city. I have my present ready to 'hand the bride elect as soon as the doctor makes up his mind. R. E. Rencher and party of East Arlington have just 'returned from a successful tour in his new Buick G from Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Elizabeth. N. J., Madison, N. J., where his cousin joined them. Thence to Morristown, N. J., Delaware Water-Gap, Scranton, Pa., Binghamton, N. J., Elmira, N. Y., Mt. Morris, N. Y., Buffalo, N. Y., to Niagara; thence to Can. The entire trip was made without mishap of any kind, not even a puncture. SOME HERETOFORE UNKNOWN REASONS WHY Attorney W. C. Martin Resigned as Corresponding Secretary of the B. M. C. Committee—Evidence of Treachery of Those He Sought to Help. Last week The Bee took occasion to mention Past District Grand Master W. C. Martin as one of the most prominent and best informed Odd Fellows in the country, and to his high standing as a citizen and member of the District bar. At the time the article was written The Bee was not cognizant of all the facts, which led up to and followed Mr. Martin's resignation. He has a very wide circle of friends in and out of the order of Odd Fellows who will be unspeakably surprised when they learn the real facts as to why he resigned as the corresponding secretary of the B. M. C. Committee which facts have been most religiously and intentionally suppressed. As a member of the general committee he suggested the plan of organization—the creation of sub-committee, and the formation of an executive committee composed of the officers of the general committee and the chairman of the several sub-committees. This plan was subsequently recommended by the general officers and at the meeting which approved it. Mr. Martin was elected as corresponding secretary of the B. M. C. Committee. It was then, as it must be now, admitted that a more efficient and experienced corresponding secretary could not have been selected. In making up the sub-committees, Chairman J. H. Coleman assigned Mr. Martin to the finance committee of which Rey. B. J. Tyler is chairman. Whether at the meeting of the general committee, executive or finance committees, Mr. Martin was always prompt in his attendance and at all times gave his brothers' the benefit of his experience in planning the work in hand. If there were any papers that required intelligent, careful preparation, no one hesitated to call upon "Martin." It was he who first called the attention of the general officers to the necessity of incorporating the B. M. C., arrangement committees and the reasons therefor. Though he was not a member of the committee on halls, at the special request of Chairman Coleman, he met the committee at Convention Hall when it was secured for the meetings of the B. M. C. and saw to it that the contract for the hall was put in legal form and every point made clear. At the urgent and special request of Chairman Coleman and Rev. B. J. Tyler, chairman of the finance committee, Mr. Martin prepared a circular letter and return circular card, to be printed and sent to the business men of the city, soliciting contribution of funds to assist in entertaining the delegates and visitors. This letter and card were adopted by the executive committee and ordered printed. At the time of the adoption of this letter and card by the executive committee, Chairman Coleman and one or more of the committee objected to their length, saying that they should be "shorters". Mr. Martin then and there stated that in the preparation of the letter and card he had been unusually careful in the use of terms, etc.; that he had made them as brief as was consistent with the purpose for which they were to be used; and that if any material changes were made he did not desire his name to appear in the printed matter. In adopting the letter and card, the executive committee never changed a single work. Upon request of Chairman Coleman, Mr. Martin had made typewritten copies of said letter and card and mailed a copy of each to said chairman. Some time in March, Chairman Coleman informed Mr. Martin that he (Coleman) had misplaced his copies and requested that he (Martin) would forthwith draft another letter and card from the matter contained in the one he had written and enclosed. This Mr. Martin declined to do, but sent the chairman other copies of said letter and card, which had been adopted by the executive committee, at the same time informing him in positive terms, that if any changes were made in the letter and card, erase his name. About the last of March, Mr. Martin received from Chairman Coleman printed copies of the said letter and card. In the letter prepared by Mr. Martin and adopted by the executive committee appears the following sentence: "To properly entertain them will require money and work." In the printed copy said sentence was changed to read as follows: "To properly entertain them will require considerable work and about $8,000.00." At the bottom of the return printed postal card with blank spaces to be filled by subscribers in stating the amount of their subscription and to be returned to the corresponding secretary, appears the following which was added after the adoption of the card by the executive committee: "Send checks to John W. Lewis, terasurer Industrial Savings Bank, 2006 Eleventh St. N. W." Mark you, the subscriber is not instructed to make check payable to J. W. Lewis, treasurer, which would have been sensible and proper; but they are told to send checks to said treasurer, regardless of the correspondent secretary. Clearly the sole purpose of this "added" instruction was to have the subscribers' checks sent directly to the treasurer, and hence not pass through the hands of the corresponding secretary, an honorable active Odd Fellow and highly respected attorney and citizen of the District. Was it intended that only the treasurer should know the amount of money subscribed by the business men of the city? Mr. Martin as corresponding secretary did not desire and would not have advised that checks be made payable to him, but that they be made payable to the treasurer, sent to him so he could keep a proper account and report the same to the executive committee when called upon so to do. No one doubts the integrity and rugged honesty of Treasurer Lewis; yet as a business man and head of a bank, he must admit that to have contributors send their checks directly to him instead of the secretary, even though such checks were made payable to him (Lewis) was, to say the least, unbusiness-like, and, in the circumstances, absolutely inexcusable. Again, in its estimate of the cost of the B. M. C., the committee on Budget allowed only $50.00 "for clerical expenses during the week of the B. M. C." Not a penny was allowed for postage, typewriting and other legitimate expenses, incident to the office of Corresponding Secretary for the month of correspondence prior to the meeting of the B. M. C., although a large quantity of B. M. C., stationary had been printed, containing Mr. Martin's office, address and left at his law office, 503 D street northwest, for his use as Corresponding Secretary. With the foregoing and several other material facts before him., on the 1st of March, Mr. Martin, as any other real man would have done, placed his resignation as Corresponding Secretary in the hands of Chairman Coleman, specially requesting that he accept the same at an early date. The Chairman promptly acknowledged the receipt of the resignation; but from that day to the present, he has failed to inform Mr. Martin by word or letter, of the acceptance or non-acceptance of his resignation. It was Chairman Coleman, who, after Mr. Martin resigned called at his office and not the stationary above referred to, but said not a word deposed of the resignation. In fact, it appears that, for some mysterious reason Mr. Martin's resignation was "pigeon-holed." and the matter was never formally presented to the executive committee and Mr. Martin informed of the action thereon. Although the "Budget" committee allowed only "$50.00 for clerical expenses during the week of the R M C," several months ago, the B. M. C. headquarters were established, not at Odd Fellows Hall, M street northwest, as had been decided some time after the organization of the B. M. C. Committee, but on "You" street, with a corresponding secretary and two assistants, vidently the B. M. C. committee pays rent for headquarters and office for the Corresponding Secretary, and that said Secretary and assistants are not working daily for their health, or merely for the success of the B. M. C. The rank and file of Odd Fellows in the District shave an abiding faith in the integrity of Mr. Martin and know that of all things he most heartily dislikes indirection, duplicity and insincerity, and all fairminded people will readily see from the foregoing facts that the motives for forcing Mr. Martin's resignation were sinister and carefully studied, contemptible and unfraternal. If occasion requires, the liee will have more to say about this matter later. AVIATION COSTLY. Many Aristocratic People of New York Are Taking to Flying, and Only They Can Stand Expense Under Present Conditions. New York.—It costs a dollar a minute to get into our highest social circles since the aristocratic youth of Long Island and Yale, under the patronage of Mrs. Henry P. Davison, have taken up military aviation. And not only that. Society is taking a flying start toward the conquest of the air quite aside from the martial aspect of the case. The center of accl activity is now at Fort Washington, on Manhattan bay. The patrol is composed of some of the best known young-men in society A Photo by American Press Association. ADMIBAL PEARY ABOUT TO TAKE A FLIGHT It is headed by Trubee Davison and takes in young Robert A. Lovett, whose father is the head of the Union Pacific road; John Vorys of Columbus, O., whose father was one of the best known political figures in the country; John W. Farwell, 3d, son of the Chicago millionaire; Albert Ditman of Englewood, Wesley Laud Brown of Englewood, Artemus L. Gates of Iowa; Earl Gould, son of the late Dr. Elgin R. L. Gould, and Allan Ames. There are a lot more to join, including H. P. Darison, Jr., who is now in France with the American ambulance, and W. F. Sullivan, who is a lieutenant in the British flying corps. Trubue Davison was on the point of joining the American ambulance in France, too, when he was diverted to the service of this country by the very, very apparent need for aviators along the Mexican border. That showed him how much more good he could do by staying in this land of the free and preparing to uphold the flag in case of need. John Hays Hammond, Jr., and Admiral Peary gave the notion a push, and the combined force prevailed upon the Davison family to sponsor the patrol. For the course the boys pay $400 each, which is about a dollar a minute for the actual flying lessons. The buying of a machine and keeping it in repair, and the like cost thousands of dollars. QUICK THINKING SAVED ARM. Clerk Jumped Into Mail Conveyer When Heavy Cord Caught Him. Chicago. A fast working brain saved Emil H. Johnson, a substitute mail clerk at the local postoffice, from possible serious injury recently. He was throwing mail into an endless chain conveyor when his arm became entangled in the heavy cord of a mail sack. Swiftly and surely the arm was being carried into a position where it would be first broken and then torn from his body. Johnson thought quickly and jumped into the conveyor, held down and rode with the sack of mail. On the way he disentangled his arm and when the conveyor was stopped walked down stairs and resumed his work. THE CAFE The only electrical hair, face and skin culturist in the city. Every electrical appliance that is used in connection with the face, hair and skin may be seen at this school. Among some interesting documents in the old Bohemian city, Sazz, on the Eger river, is a picture showing an attack on the fortress Glatz, in Silesia, in which war automobiles were used. The mechanically driven cars were flat vehicles, protected by huge shields in front, in which the soldiers turned large cranks, the rotary motion of which was transferred to cog wheels and to the road wheels. It is estimated that these fifteenth century "chauffeurs" got a speed of four miles an hour out of the armored cars. OUR DISTRICT BOYS. A Run on the Mexicans—The First Separate Battalion on the Border. Headquarters 1st Separate Battalion. The 1st Separate Battalion had a little run in with the Mexicans. 'Company D was on guard. We had an outpost on the plain about 100 yards from the border. This is called post No. 1. There was a squad of eight men on post No. 1. Corporal and seven privates, namely; Corp. F. B. Harris; private Walter Mason, Morris Mhoney, Jack Tyler, Oscar Wyles, Marshall Calbert, Chas. Brook and William Temple. It was about 8 o'clock on Saturday night, August 19. Lieut. Sanford was officer for the day. There were about 20 or 25 guards on interior duty, Lieut. Sanford had just said to some of his men that he hoped they would have a quiet night as the night before they had had quite a time with some of our own men who tried to sneak in Camp after they had stayed out until after taps. Just after Lieut. Sanford had finished speaking of that, he heard a shot followed by several other shots, he sprang to his feet, detailing about half of his guards to go to see what had happened. By this time they were firing in volleys. It was quite exciting at first but these Captains and Lieutenants we have out here are just the real men for such things. Major Walker came over to B Co., and said to Captain Epps: "they are firing on us, have you a good, steady man and his squad, that I can send over to see what the real trouble is?" It really seemed like something was doing for all lights in the camp were ordered out, ammunition issued and all companies were formed. Captain Effs ordered the second squad over to, what we thought at that time, to rescue the squad of Co. D, which was on guard. The second squad is classed as the Blue Ribbon Squad of the Battalion-headed by Corp. Charles F. Carter, which consists of seven privates, namely, Walter Parker, Fred Grayson, Emmet Rogers, Geo. B. Hunt and Leondas Lewis. Corp. Carter carried fourteen men with him other than Lieut. Abrams and Sergt. Cunningham. They were John A. Johnson, Jas. E. Williams, Howard Grinnage, Aston Corun and John H. Green. Well, in speaking about the run in, the new boys had, been here just a week and they were somewhat excited at first, they ran almost like wild men. But Capt. Epps soon had them under control with the aid of Glent. Boyde, who has a cool head at all times. The whole battalion, except those who went to the rescue of the squad on outpost and the interior guard, was assembled in their company streets and assigned to different points around the water plant to assure the greatest protection to the same to all camps down for the time being. There were messages sent to all camps near and the cavalry, infantry and artillery assured our safety, as it were. By the time Lieut. Abrams, Corp. Carter and his men reached the outpost everything was over. We did not see or hear the Mexies anymore but for safety we put in the night. In real soldier life we had to sleep on the ground all night and I tell you it was not sand, it was rock. We had to find the soft side of the stones and lay on them. Glad to say there were no casualties, there were about 70 or 80 shots fired counting from both sides. That was one of the best lessons we could have had. Drilling is nothing compared with that experience. It gave us the exact idea of just how to go about things if anything serious should happen hereafter. We are fully prepared to stand most any kind of an attack that may arise. Sergt. Wade, of Co. B, was detailed as a patrol commander, he did some brilliant work. He and four men were sent out to try and pluck up the enemy. They had to search through the dark to the north east to try to head them off or find their location. It was impossible to see them as it was believed, that they went the shortest way across the border. First Sergt. O H.

He is a real First Sergt. Sergt. Loroy B. Hocomb was at the theatre so we cannot say much about him only the boys all call him Grumbly Hok, but he is alright after all. Capt. Epps told his company that any time they were on guard not to fire unless it was a case of necessity and that he wanted his men to capture, not to kill, unless they did it to protect themselves. He also said if any shooting goes on he wanted them to bring home the bacon, that he did not want a lot of shooting and nothing to show for it (of course he was cracking a joke but there is a lot of truth in it). It was almost impossible to hit anything that night as dark as it was one could hardly see his hands before him but we did manage to capture one Mex. We did not get much out of him. He was captured by Sergt. Slaughter of Company D. About 10:30 or 11 o'clock that night Leut. Abrams was relieved by Leut. Brown. of Company C, who put the night in with the men of Company B. Captain Dr. Ridgeley was right on the job with his crew. They had bandages ready to render aid if such should be needed. All were in readiness except Wm. Smith and he, was up in Co. B. street, sticking with his brother, First Sergt. O. H. Smith. Everybody was running for ammunition. Sergt. Greenleaf Johnson ran to the First Sergt.'s tent for ammunition, he being quite a small man some of the larger men grabbed him back of the neck and told him he had better go get a cleaver to cut Mexicans up. It was quite a little fun in seeing how the rookies went on, but after they had gotten themselves together they were real soldiers. When the detachment of B company came in the camp next morning they came through cheers. The boys shouted "Here comes the noble 2nd squad." I tell you that makes a fellow feel like a man; when so many around him cheering and applauding. Priv. Wiley Bolding was quite active in helping the recruits, in getting ready by showing them how to load their rifles. He was then placed on the right flank of main body to note any approach of the enemy, this being a responsible position. Wiley said he received his experience from his corporal. J. S. Marshall, corporal of the Squad of the famous B Company. Irving Ware of Company D is driving a team. He says he and his mules get along almost like brothers, but Irving was on the job with his rifle when the call of arms sounded. One of our comrades left here for Washington yesterday, it was Wayman Carroll. We all hated to see him leave, but we had to let him go. We hope the readers of this paper will look for a little piece about once a week as long as we are out here. COP UP CLOSE CARAN MAKE AND ISE LIKE AN EAR O CORN! HE'S A BIRD! 1.

NEXT SCHOOL TERM OPENS OCT. 4, 1916. For catalog and detailed information, address: THE COLORED MIGRATION TO THE NORTH. A few years ago a number of governors and other prominent men of the south held a conference, whose avowed purpose was formulation of methods by which a larger share of immigrants might be steered to the south. It was explained with startling frankness that the south wanted the white immigrants to displace colored labor, which would be shoved along—nobody was right certain whither—and got rid of. At that time some people warned the south that it was trying to perpetrate a bad economic mistake. The southern labor supply is chiefly colored. If it had been possible to bring in immigrants and give them the jobs of the black men, the latter would have been left on the hands of the community, jobless, unwelcome anywhere else, and in danger of becoming a dangerous element. Moreover, the immigrant would not have been so useful a laborer, as the black man, who is the ideal producer of cotton. Now the south is getting a new experience with its labor problem; and the smile is on the other side of the face. Immigration has been cut down just at a time when the whole country needs labor as never before in decades Northern and western enterprises are scouring the south and carrying away its colored laborers to earn what look, at the moment, like preposterously high wages. The south is suffering because of its losses. It is a bad situation. The colored man is better off in the south in the long run than anywhere else. He will be apt to be the first person out of work in the north when slack times come again; in the south he is, in uncertain realms; the possessor of a near-monopoly of the labor franchise. It is bad for the south and will not ultimately be good for the north which doesn't understand managing the colored brother so well as the south does. —From the Sunday Times, Sept. 10th. Touring the New England States. Household Mass. Miss Clara R. Wilson, of Washington, D. C., in company with her uncle, Mr. Robert Holmes and cousin, Miss Dora Holmes, is touring the New England states by auto at an average of 150 miles each day. Leaving Haverhill, Mass., by way of Newburyport, they branched off into New Hamshire using the coast line from Hampton Beach, diverging back into the mountainous region. There they spent two days in the White Mountains. STEAR FOR THE LEA SIDE GAP HOE IT DOWN JAMES! 2.

Leaving the White Mountains they motored south in order to take in Freeport Bath, crossing three ferries at Stockton Springs where they detoured and instead of taking the road usually travelled by automobiles going three miles up a narrow mountain road so steep as to seem almost perpendicular, proceeding to Wiscasset where one night was spent, from there on to Bar Harbor where they toured for four days Mt. Desert Island, back to Portland, Me. From there they returned to their home 34 Greenville street., River Side, Hayerhill, Mass. "In a few days they will leave for Vermont and Rhode Island." WITHIN THE LAW" THE ATTRAC TION AT THE HOWARD. Tremendous Success Scored in Baltimore, arid, New York, by Co. The attraction underlined for the Howard Theatre next week. is the great play entitled "Within the Law" which is being sent over the circuit of the Quality Amusement Corporation at the request of hundreds of their patrons: After the first week of this show in New York hundreds of people flocked to the Lafayette Theatre and demanded of the Quality people a return date for the play which the con- sensus of opinion voted the best ever put on the boards since the inauguration of the drama anon our people. When the announcement was made that many new members of the Lafayette Players would be seen in the cast, rumor gained ground that the show would not make the fine impression it did at its initial appearance at the Lafayette Theatre in New York City, but all doubts have been cast aside and the critics claim that the presentation is even better than when it first appeared. This is saying much for this wonderful show, and Washingtonians will await anxiously the opportunity of passing their verdict upon this stellar attraction. Always justly noted for the completeness of its productions, the Smart Set gives its stars, the managers have outdone themselves in the way they have staged and costumed the new two act musical comedy "How Newtown Prepared" which comes to the Howard Theatre week of October 2nd. Nothing finer scenically or artistically has been seen upon the American stage in years than the spectacle which will greet theatre goers when they view this latest effort. of the Smart Set in which it is said that they have surpassed their former efforts.

One year in advance.....$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three months.....50 Subscription monthly.....20 THE 18TH B. M. C. The 18th B. M. C. of the Grand Order of Odd Fellows of América met in this city and this great organization no doubt spent thousands of dollars to display their uniforms and badges. Seriously speaking what has this order accomplished? Men and women come from all over the country, spending thousands of dollars. If a call had been made inviting or requesting the same number of colored men and women to assemble in this city to save their lives against an enemy or to contribute a small amount of money to perprenate those who are oppressed and especially their women, you could not get a dozen to assemble. Speaking to a prominent Texan a few days ago, he mildly expressed himself as follows: An intelligent man has no show in the B. M. C., it is controlled by a mob and intent on spending one hundred thousand dollars every two years, in a street parade, railroad fares and a good time. The money could be used for a better purpose. Not only are those B. M. C. expensive projections they don't accomplish anything. Will some one state, and space will be given in this paper, what benefit has been accomplished by this 18th B. M. C.? But, it must be admitted that more money has been spent than the good that has been accomplished. Colored people like red badges, white hats and fancy uniforms, and a band display. The morning the negro got his freedom he went to work to see just how fast he could put money in the white man's pocket. The electric light display on You street cost a little more than six-hundred dollars; convention hall cost the committee some where between six and seven hundred dollars; the official program cost in the neighborhood of six hundred dollars, one firm submitted a bid of three hundred and fifty dollars, but the other man who bid six hundred secured it. Then there was, the carriages in the parade, the bands, and no end to other displays. Will the negro ever learn any sense? This article may be distasteful to some of the Odd Fellows, but they must admit that all B. M. C.'s are expensive propositions. THE BAPTIST CONVENTION. The split wing of the National Baptist Convention meet in Savannah, Georgia, last week and as a report elsewhere in The Bee will show, made an effort to take from that enterprising educator the control and management of the National Training School for Women and Girls which she erected upon the beautiful and commanding Lincoln Heights. Information reaches this office that a Texas agitator lead the mob which were like a lot of hyenas. Neither sense nor reason could be knocked into their heads. Neither the reasoning of Rev. Jernagin nor the eloquence of our own Dr. Brooks could dissuade the mob from committing the second Baptist blunder of the age. The Bee next week will contain a concise and full report of the action of this mob. Now that an effort will be made by these great (?), and good (?) men of this holting Baptist Association to deprive the women of a home which they have erected. The Bee supposes that there are a few men who now want to live easy, walk in and hang up their hats and sit in Miss Burroughs' easy chairs, that she made so much sacrifice to secure. This so-called Baptist Committee want an easy bed and order the young girls at this girls' school, who are working for an education, to wait on them without compensation. In short; these self-appointed guardians of the bolting Baptist Convention would prefer that Miss Burroughs turn over to it all of her personal effects, her very competent secretary, Miss Boyler, and receive orders and execute them free of all cost. Well, this will not be done and this committee will be wiser when it gets to this city. MAINE ELECTION. The election in Maine last Monday caused a great deal of guessing on both sides. The chairman of the democratic committee was convinced that he would carry the state by from three to five thousand, while the chairman of the republican committee declared that the state would go republican from ten to fifteen thousand. The latter came nearer to the truth than the former. Republican managers need not think that the Maine victory for them will settle the outcome in November. There is a great deal of work to be done yet. The defeat of the favorite candidate for senator of the democratic party met his Waterloo. It was an unexpected defeat. Human rights played no part whatever in this campaign. Both parties gave lynching, discrimination and segregation in the several departments a wide berth. Of course, if the democrats had won there would have been a great deal of jubilation throughout the country. As it is, they declare that the result was no more than what they had expected. This is mild summing up of democratic defeat. THOMAS L. JONES SPEAKS. Continued long to the 20th century of progress and enlightenment. It throve in the days of slavery and moral darkness until it was driven out of power by an enraged people in 1861 under the immortal leadership of Abraham Lincoln. "This party has never believed in universal civil and political liberty, after the armies under Lee were beaten to pieces on the battlefield. It created a reign of terror throughout the South as soon as the Federal arms were withdrawn from that section; and down there today millions of men both white and black are 'disfranchised, while child labor prevails throughout the entire section. "Lynching, 'Jim Crowism', distranchement and child labor are the evil children of the South, and its malayolent influence on the whole country will continue to be exerted until under the law as laid down in the Federal Constitution, popular government is established in that section. "The republican party is especially fortunate in this campaign in having as its standard bearer a "forward looking" statesman with a long list of brilliant achievements to his credit. And we are especially gratified at the prospect of republican success under his able leadership, because he believes not only in clean personal living, but in clean political dealings. "On the question of our civil and political rights, Charles Evans Hughes has already expressed himself in three great judicial decisions to which I hope I may with propriety briefly refer. "One of these decisions was a peonage case, directly involving the 13th Amendment to the Federal Constitution, known as Bailey vs. the State of Alabama (U. S. Supreme Court Reports, Vol. 219, Page 219.)" "Another a 'Jim Crow' car case directly involving the 14th Amendment (McCabe vs. the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway, U. S. Supreme Court Reports, Vol. 235, Page 161.)" "And the other, the celebrated Oklahoma and Maryland cases, commonly known as the grand-father's clause cases, directly involving the 16th Amendment. This latter decision was handed down by the Chief Justice; Mr. Hughes assenting. "It is not my intention to review these decisions on this occasion, nor would it be proper for me to do so. I can, however, with propriety refer to them as a part of the record of the case, and as showing where this great man stands on the questions involving the civil and political rights of the race. "When we reflect that the Dred Scott decision to the Berea College case in quite recent times, the Supreme Court has been always against us. It is not improbable that the powerful personality of Charles Evans Hughes is responsible for the gains we have made in our civil and political statals. "Never before in the history of the republican party has a presidential candidate been placed on such a record as to the meaning of the great war amendments. "We know where he stands on each one of them. His position is written deep into the life of the people and, indelibly, has become a part of our legal system, and we thank God that we have at last been given a 'sign' of better days to come to our sorely afflicted people. "We are especially to be congratulated on a reunited party. The differences of the past were not fundamental differences of policies, but only of the means to be employed to make these policies effective. "With a reunited party marching solidly behind the leadership of Mr. Hughes, victory is assured in November, and with victory will come another emancipation for us from the infamous and sinister segregation orders approved and endorsed by Woodrow Wilson in his official capacity as President of the United States. "We are interested as are all the other racial groups in the larger questions affecting the whole people. And as we survey the state of the civilized world—the great war in Europe threatening the very extinction of states, and the problems of our diplomatic intercourse to arise after the war, we are convinced that the next four years will be the most momentous in the history of our country since 1865. "The colossal financial power of the United States will invite the entry of an impoverished world. An economic league has already been formed against us by four of the great powers for the purpose of cutting down our export trade, and who can prophesy that this economic league is not the forerunner of a military combination, which seizing one pretext or another, may precipitate another war against us which will tax the patriotism and resources of the people to their very limit in order to avert a national catastrophe. "The whole code of international law must be rewritten and American rights now held in abeyance will have to be asserted and maintained. "The democratic administration in its vacillating course with regard to Mexico has given conspicuous proof that it can not be trusted to safeguard American lives and property." "The republican party alone, with its practical and highly trained leadership, can be depended upon to safeguard the interests of the people and maintain unsullied the honor and integrity of this great nation. "The republican candidate is preeminently well qualified to discharge the high duties and responsibilities which will press upon the executive in the next four years. He has firmness of character and possesses one of the most gifted intellects which has ever appeared in the history of our statesmanship. He is a lawyer of renown, a reform governor of our greatest commonwealth, with a judicially trained mind, he will bring to the discharge of executive responsibilities a wealth of knowledge and experience, which will guarantee strength and purpose." "The republican party quickened and chastened by defeat and division, but now happily reunited, will once again become the party of moral issues as well as material issues—the party of liberty, justice and equality. "The ephemeral prosperity which our country now enjoys "sluiced from the rivers of blood in Europe" as Mr. Harding describes it, must cease, with the cessation of the war. "Every European nation has raised its industrial efficiency and will give us an implacable race even for the control of our own domestic markets, to say nothing of the markets beyond the seas; hence an adequate tariff will be among the first steps to take in our preparedness program and this step can not be left to a tariff for revenue and free trade democrats. "Ouo present prosperity, Mr. Hughes declares, is a "Fool's Paradise," and we should take time by the forelock and prepare." Mr. and Mrs. Henry Winfred of New York Welcome Home. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Winfred of New York spent several days here visiting her mother and brother and other relatives. Although Mrs. Fannie Winfred has made her home in New York for many years, she was formerly a young social belle of Washington, D. C. Her husband, Mr. Henry Winfred, with his partner, Mr. John Rucker, is one of the best vaudeville teams on the road, playing only the best houses in the north and west. They are booked solid on Loew's Circuit for six months; and while Mrs. Winfred has figured greatly in the theatrical circles, she has retired from the stage but still accompanies her husband. Mr. and Mrs. George D. Settlers of 403 E street northeast, and their married daughter, Mrs. Jessie Settlers Johnson, of 646 Acker street north a farewell birthday party Saturday east, gave Mrs. Winfred and husband night before leaving on her California tour, the party being given at the latter's house. A number of old and new friends attended and all were pleased to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Winfred back home. Her mother, Mrs. Sarah Smith, and brother, Mr. Robert Smith, were distinguished guests at the party. The evening was spent in dancing after which supper was served in a most pleasing manner. Some of the most prominent guests were: Mrs. Sarah Smith and son, Robert, Mr. and Mrs. George D. Settlers and family, Mr. and Mrs. Babe Day, Mr. and Mrs. John Estell, Mr. and Mrs. W. Richards, Mrs. Bessie Howard and two friends, Miss Eve Jackson and a lady from New York, and a number of others. Mr. and Mrs. Winfred left Sunday night, stopping first in Toronto, Canada. HOWARD THEATER The four-act play, "At Bay," playing at the Howard this week is being well received by large audiences, made up in part by the visiting delegates to the B. M. C. The story tells of a woman who has fallen in the hands of an unscupulous lawyer, who having purchased a letter written earlier, and which seems to compromise her now that she is about to marry. In the struggle to get the letter she kills the lawyer and although her father is the district attorney it seems that the police is about to get her in the toils. Through clever work a verdict of suicide is given and the lovers are enabled to fall in the arms of each other. Miss Clough as "Aline Graham" plays the leading lady with credit. Mores as the district attorney has a commanding figure and takes his part well. Andrew Bishop, as "Captain Lawrence," the lover, always carries his lines well but if criticism might be offered, it would be that he has just a little too much of the sang froid in his action. Cook as the priest is good, although it seems that comedy involuntarily crops up in his playing. Luke Scott, the new player, as the seer service man is falling into the error of some of the players and is too ferocious. He promises to make good nevertheless. Miss Freeman and Miss Carr appear in new roles, being male characters. Both are good-actors, although not quite male. Miss Carr made quite a fine boy however. The other characters well supported the principals. RACE CONGRESS. On October 4th, 5th and 6th a race congress will be held in this city at Easiest Terms Are Not All You Want the John Wesley Church, corner of Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, at which delegates from all parts of the country will be present. There will be day and evening sessions. The congress will be called to order by the National Equal, Rights League, after which it will proceed at once to organize itself independently of any existing bodies. Delegates from churches, education institutions, clubs, fraternities and societies are elegible to seats in the congress. All such institutions taking an interest in the welfare of the race are urged to send delegates. Racial fraternizing, mutual acquaintance, exchange of notes on local conditions, race unity of feeling and a future national working together for rights, a united declaration to the country of colored Americans on color proscription, are among the purposes of this gathering. Radio, Va. Dashes. Mesdames Dade, King and Davis gave a banquet in honor of the Misses Fumeguet; Lewis and Yancy, nurses of Freedmen's Hospital at the palatial residence of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Dade. Miss Elliza Dade and MissRachel Jackson, Mr. Phil Lewis and Mr. Mills were also guests; Mrs. Dade was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Horace Rucker, Mrs. Robert McMillan and Mrs S. E. Costor. The 50th anniversary services of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of East Arlington, of which church Rev. Dr. James E. Green is pastor, are in progress this week—Sept. 10-17. On Tuesday evening at the 8 o'clock services, we witnessed the excellent singing of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church choir, Mr. H. W. Ball, Director, Mrs. Pearl M. Fields, organist, which with members of the Mt. Olive Church, came out to add tone and elevation to the splendid sermon delivered by their pastor, Rev. Dr. Joseph H. Lee. Rev. Dr. J. D. Pair, pastor of St. John's, was also present. COLUMBIA ACADEMY AND CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC, 704 TEA STREET NORTWEST, WASHINGTON. D. C.

God: Not the Father of the Sinful World—The Father of Consecrated Believer Only—None Others Are His Sone—Adam Originally In God's Likeness, a Son—How Fallen Mankind Drifted Further From God—His Great Plan For Their Recovery. Church 'Saved First—Christ to Restore the World of Mankind—Only the Incoerrible to Be Destroyed. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 10. Pastor-Russell addressed the I. B. S. A. Convention here today. He spoke from the text, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:48. PASTOR RUSSELL The speaker outlined the Scriptur al teaching that man was created perfect, in the image and likeness of God. Adam was God-like, in that his mind and his heart were predisposed to righteousness. God placed him on trial, with the provision that he might maintain this perfect life by obedience. But our first parents shmed, and their mental and moral perversity impressed itself upon their children yet unborn. Mankind were generated imperfect in mind and body, with a decided bent toward sin, which was accentuated by subsequent training and environment. Consequently the whole world has lost God's image to a very large degree. But notwithstanding their deprivation God has a Plan for the recovery of whosoever will. To this end Christ died, became the world's Redeemer. The purpose of the incoming Age is to bring all the willing and obedient back to sonship with God. These must learn to love righteousness and hate injustice. They must have character-likeness to God. Jehovah's Plan is very far-reaching, taking in all mankind since Adam's creation. The entire human race are provided for in the great Purchase price furnished by the death of "the Man Christ Jesus." In due time this provision will be brought to the attention of every human being. (1 Timothy 2:5, 6) Very few in the present life have had their attention really drawn to this subject. The whole world is blind as respects God's great restitution, to be ac- ay the Heavenly Father's Christ during the Mill- John is to be delivered "into the glorious liberty of sons of God," St. Paul declares. (Romanus 8:19-23.) All mankind may become sons of God on the human plane. They will not be sons of God, however, until they become perfect, as was Father Adam before he fell. God will not recognize any imperfect being as His son. During the Millennium whosoever will may return to the original perfection as it existed in Eden, plus all the valuable experiences of the past six thousand years. The Liberty of the Sons of God. Everything that God has decreed and directed is right, and makes for the good sof His creatures. Everything contrary to His will is wrong, and produces evil somewhere, at some time, to somebody. When mankind shall have learned this lesson, it will be something worth knowing. Mankind will then know, good from evil. They will be fully able to discriminate between right and wrong. The liberty then granted to them as human sons of God will not be freedom from obligation to do right, freedom from responsibility to God. Everybody will always be under obligation to do right. One of the severest tests which the Father placed upon our Lord Jesus was that of loyalty to the principles of righteousness. "Because Thou hast loved righteousness, and hast hated iniquity, therefore God, even Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows," was God's commendation to Him—Psalm 45:7. Hebrews 1:9. The whole world must yet come to the heart attitude of the perfect Man, Christ Jesus. Those who refuse to do so will be cut off in the Second Death. Mankind must learn to love and appreciate everything that is right. They must love justice, mercy and every other, good quality of character. They must learn to hate injustice and impurity. They must root out of themselves all anger, malice, envy, hatred, strife. They must develop to perfection the qualities of gentleness, kindness, meekness, humility, patience, self-control, love. They must individually have God's own character likeness. This same principle holds good with the Church of Christ, but operates differently; for a different part of God's Plan relates to the Church. They do not need to wait for the Millennium to become sons of God. (1 John 8:2) They are altogether a new creation. They give up their earthly life to become associates with their Lord Jesus in His Heavenly inheritance. As He sacrificed Himself for the world, so do these, through the imputation of His sacrificial merit. They share His sufferings in order to share His glory.—Romans 8:17; 2 Timothy 2:11, 12 ST. PAUL A PRISONER IN THE CASTLE Acts 22:17:29 — Sept. 17. Preaching the Gospel of Christ—The Mob Again Enraged—Colonel Lysias In Perplexity Orders the Roman Soldiers to Beat St. Paul—Thereupon the Apostle Declares His Citizenship, Lessons From His Experiences. "He is my Refuge and my Fortress; my God, in whom I trust."—Psalm 912. E might have supposed that the beating which St. Paul received from the mob, together with the rough treatment which he had undergone in getting to the castle door, would have cowed the Apostle. But on the contrary, he calmly asked the commandant to grant him the privilege of speaking to the people. Doubtless he intimated that they had misunderstood what he was doing, and that a few words from him might pacify them. The Roman officer was astonished; for the Apostle spoke Greek fluently. He had thought that St. Paul was "that Egyptian," mentioned by Josephus, who had a short time before gathered a large body, of discontented Jews, to whom he had represented himself as Messiah and who, as his followers, had He had thought that St. Paul was "that Egyptian," mentioned by Josephus, who had a short time before gathered a large body, of discontented Jews, to whom he had represented himself as Messiah and who, as his followers, had given the Roman authorities considerable trouble. St. Paul answered that he was a jew of an honorable city, and again asked the privilege of speaking to the people. His request was granted. Then St. Paul stood on the stairs and motioned silence, in order to address the mob. Doubtless he considered his thrilling experiences well compensated for by the privilege of telling a large concourse of his countrymen about Jesus. Promptly he preached Christ—that Jesus of Nazareth was the promised Messiah, that His sacrificial death constituted the Redemption Sacrifice for Adam's forfeited life and, incidentally, for all of Adam's children, who died under his death sentence. Surely also he declared that Messiah was calling a spiritual class to be His associates in His Millennial Kingdom, and that shortly Israel and all the nations would experience the blessings of that Kingdom. Then he proceeded to tell about his missionary tours. He declared that many of the Gentiles were gladly receiving this Message and giving their hearts to the Lord in full consecration. St. Paul's Defense. St. Paul's Deliverance But so strong was the Jewish prejudice that the mere mention of the fact that this great blessing was going upon equal terms to the Gentiles rekindled the tame of hatred and violence; and their shouts and jeers rent the air. Perplexed at the situation, the Roman commandant concluded that where there was so much opposition there must be some cause for it. Thereupon he gave orders that the Apostle he whipped until he confessed what he had done to create such a tumult. At once the command began to be carried out by the soldiers, who proceeded to the St. Paul to the whipping-post. But the Apostle brought the proceedings to a quick termination by inquiring of a centurion who stood by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned?" When the centurion heard the question, he reported it to the colonel, who came and questioned the Apostle. He took St. Paul's word for it that he was a Roman citizen; for to have made an untruthful claim to citizenship would have meant death, as soon as the matter had been investigated. The Apostle was held a prisoner for trial. Lessons From St. Paul's Experience. St. Paul was suffering as a Christian because of loyalty to the Lord and His Word. He was not suffering because of following the admonitions of the brethren in going into the Temple; for very evidently the hatred in the hearts of their enemies would sooner or later have manifested itself, and they would have sought the Apshte's life, as on previous occasions. In this incident we see merely that the attempt to create a favorable. impress for very easily the hatred in the hearts of their enemies would sooner or later have manifested itself, and they would have sought the Apostle's life, as on previous occasions. In this incident we see merely that the attempt to create a favorable impression toward the Apostle Paul and his work amongst the Gentiles probably brought the matter of his arrest more quickly to the front than any other course would have done. The Apostle was not ashamed of his sufferings; for he realized that they were endured for Christ's sake. One should feel deeply pained at a public arrest, and imprisonment as a violator of the law. But when these things are experienced because of faithfulness to the Lord, following in His footsteps, such may well rejoice in the ignominy, rejoice in what otherwise would be shameful and detestable. Let them glorify God on this behalf, rejoicing that they are accounted worthy to suffer for the name of Christ, and remembering that thus also was it with our Lord Jesus Himself. He was placed under arrest; He was bound; He was scourged; He was publicly insulted; He was even crucified as a blasphemer against God. Let every instance of religious bigotry and fanatical violence speak to our hearts a lesson in the opposite direction. In Seventeen Years Fourteen Children Came to This Couple. Riverside, Ia.—To provide for a family of fourteen children on the modest salary of $1,200 paid by Uncle Sam to a rural mail carrier is the problem that confronts John C. D'Autremont, a rural carrier here. D'Autremont does it, however, and a finer family of children one would not care to see. More interesting than ever in this already interesting family is the fact that the father is only forty-seven years old, the mother, Mrs. Lucy Swift D'Autremont, is but thirty-eight and the couple has been married only seventeen years. The father of this family is of French Huguenot descent, his ancestors having been Huguenot refugees when they came to America to establish a home. Mixed in the blood lines of this particular family are the strains of Irish and German, the mother having been of Celtic and Teutonic descent. Although they range all the way from sixteen years old down to the twin daughters now, nine months old, there is not a weakling in the family. They are healthy both physically and mentally. SHERIFF DID HER SHOPPING BEFORE TAKING PRISONER SHERIFF DID HER SHOPPING BEFORE TAKING PRISONER Attached Negro to Herself With Handcuff and Was "Loaded" Chicago.—Mrs. Robert W. Sheets of Lincoln, Ill., spent a joyous afternoon recently along State street consuming ice cream sodas. Later she stepped into detective headquarters and said to the desk sergeant: "I want my prisoner, please, W. A. Russell." "Russell?" said the sergeant. "Why, Russell's the negro who's to go back to Lincoln. The sheriff was to come after him." "Well, I'm the sheriff's wife," returned Mrs. Sheets. "I'm also a deputy. Won't you hurry a little? The train leaves at 6:30." So Russell started with Mrs. Sheets to the union station, where she opened her handbag a couple of inches, observing, "See, I've got an automatic here, and it's loaded, too, and here are my handcuffs." Mrs. Sheets then took out the handcuffs, fastened one on one of his wrists and the other on her wrist and put the key in her stocking. "Now, William," she said. "don't try to do anything, for I'm loaded." BY STAGE ALONG OLD TRAIL Harvest Hands Use Ancient Coach to Reach Wheatfields. Hutchinson, Kan—Most of the harvest hands make their way to the wheatfields by rail, some on the plush and some riding the rods and box cars. But one party that passed through here occupied an old time stagecoach. It probably is the first time a stagecoach has followed the Santa Fe trail westward in many years. This stage came from Ottawa. It is a bus used for a quarter of a century, as the town bus at Ottawa. George Hempstead was born, and he had it loaded with men who will work in the harvest fields. They were bound for Garfield, where they have jobs. Hempstead said it had taken them two weeks to make the drive from Ottawa. THE WALTZ IS COMING BACK Dancing Masters Decree Doom of the Acrobatic Tango. Chicago.-The old fashioned, dreamy waltz will supplant the acrobatic tango in the ballrooms of the country if the National Association of Dancing Masters has any influence. In convention here, with 400 members attending, the dance professors decreed that the tango must go. The waltz, the one step and the fox trot will be the favorites this season. "Dancers are tiring of the tango and similar dances," said Thomas McDougall of Pittsburgh, president of the association. "The waltz always led until the tango came in, and we propose to re-establish it." Aged Woman Drives Auto. Danville, Ill.-Sarah Hewitt, aged eighty-three, drove to: Danville, from her home, eight miles away, in her eighty horsepower roadster. "I can keep pace with the world, do my share of the work and enjoy my share of the pleasures with the rest of them, though I am nearly a quarter of a century past the age when, Dr. Osler said, folks should be chloroformed and killed," she declared. She handled her powerful car with eagle and skill. "And I covered the distance in twenty minutes, which half a century ago would have taken an hour or more of jolting riding," she said. Woman Ropes Alligator. Wharton, Tex.—Mrs. Will Hendricks is receiving the congratulations of her friends over having captured alive a large alligator. One evening recently she noticed the alligator trying to climb the hog wire fence of the L. O. Ireson pasture, and she ran home and brought a rope with which she lashed the reptile and tied it to a post. Those who were attracted to the spot to view the catch stated that the alligator was over six feet long and that it fought desperately to make its escape.

German People Stirred by Exploits of Fighting Men. Aots Performed by Immelmann, Weddigen, Von Muecke, Boelke, Schlodien and Others Have Attracted Much Attention—List of Heroes Long. Berlin.—Germany has always been a sand of hero worship, and everything has been done to encourage it, especially in this war. The list of German heroes has been a long one, and then, too, there are the thousands of others who have died unknown and unsung. Heutenant Immelmann, the aviator, was very young. When his death became known a great wave of sorrow swept over all Germany. The last aeroplane he shot down was his sixteenth. Since the days of Carl Theodore Koerner no young hero has been so MASSE Photos by American Press Association. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT, COUNT DONNA-SCOLLIDIEN AND CAPTAIN BOOLEE; LOWER, CAPTAIN-LEIUTENANT OTTO WEDDIGEN AND LIEUTENANT ANIMELMANN. popular in Germany as has Otto Weddigen. His memory, like Koerner's, will be forever young. As soon as he was old enough he entered the German marine, where his elder brother was already an officer. His marine career was a meteor-like one. The deeds of his U boat in the present war rang through the world, the U-9 sending down the English cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy and the large cruiser Hawke. He was then put in charge of the U-20 and given the order of the Pour le Merite. The U-20 sank four British, two French merchant vessels and many smaller boats. The daring deeds of the Emden and the Ayesha are well known. The Emden went out under the command of Captain von Mueller, chasing merchant vessels in the sea of Bengal, where she spread terror. The English called her the "Flying Dutchman" and gave chase. Near the Keeling islands the Emden succumbed after a herole resistance, and a detachment dismunked on the islands under the command of Lieutenant von Muecke. They took with them the small boat, the Ayesha. After many exciting adventures they succeeded in reaching the Arabian coast. Here they had many encounters with the Arabian tribes, but they made their way to the Hedjas railway and there to Constantinople and then back to Germany. Captain von Mueller was taken prisoner by the English. The Moewe became the successor of these two boats, and her commander, Dohna-Shodden, is famous. Since the death of Immelmann, Captain Boelke, the dier, has been the most, popular of all the now active young German heroes. He has brought down his twentieth aeroplane and several months ago was given the order Pour le Merite. She Prefers Jail to Farm. Dover.—Farm life may appeal to some folks, but jail life seems preferable to Mrs. Agnes C. Adams, aged twenty-five years, who deserted her husband and four children recently rather than stay longer on her husband's truck farm in Jefferson county. Mrs. Adams was arrested by Humane Officer Morton David. Given the alternative of returning to the farm or facing a charge of deserting her children, she replied: "I won't go back. I love my husband and my children, too," she told Police Matron Davis, "but I simply can't endure life on that farm any longer." Umbrella Struck by Lightning. Atchison, Kan.-A. J. Haskins narrowly escaped with his life here the other day when the umbrella he was carrying was struck by lightning. Haskins says that he seemed to be enveloped in a ball of flame. His legs and arms are still numb from the effects of the shock. SHOWS SERGEANT HE ERRED Rejected Applicant Can Shoot Well Without Trigger and Middle Fingers. St. Louis. - Rejected for enlistment in the United States marine corps because the "trigger" and middle fingers were missing from his right hand, Elbert Harlan, a rawboned applicant from Oklahoma, went from the recruiting station in the Fullerton building to a shooting gallery near by and made twenty-five straight hits on a moving target with a small caliber rifle, while the sergeant who had rejected him looked on. "I can shoot better with my little finger than some men can with their trigger fingers," Harlan said after his performance at the gallery. "and I cannot understand why you won't take me." The murine sergeant explained that a hand minus several fingers would look bad when incased in white gloves and that the loss of the fingers would seriously interfere with the proper handling of the rifle at drills. But the Oklahoma recruit was unconvinced and went back home in the belief that the government doesn't know a good man when it sees one. TO TEACH FOREIGNERS. Non-English Speaking Immigrants Given Chance to Learn Language. Washington.-The United States bureau of education in the department of the interior has begun its nation wide campaign to induce 3,000,000 non-English speaking immigrants to attend night school and learn the language of America. The commissioner of education has designated men denying with the immigrant's problems from every angle to serve on a national committee of one hundred to further the purposes of the campaign. This action is the result of resolutions adopted by two Americanization conferences held during the recent meetings of the National Education association in Detroit and in New York, at which times it was decided that the removal of the inability of the foreign born residents to speak English could be hastened by concerted effort and co-operation of all interested agencies and individuals working intensively on a nation wide basis prior to and immediately subsequent to the opening of evening schools in October. STORM STOPS WATCHES. One Thousand Mainsprings Broken In Electric Manifestation. Ringling, Okla.—Mainsprings of 1,000 watches snapped within a radius of twenty miles of Ringling during a recent electrical storm. "This is not unusual," said a jeweler as three men came to his counter with "dead" watches. "All over the middle west and probably in other parts of the country electrical disturbances play havoc with the time of day. I recall that a few years ago in Chicago a record was kept of the number of watches broken during an electrical storm, and the number reached 2,800. All of them stopped during a period of fifteen minutes. The electrical storm, travelling from southeast to northwest and passing over Ringling and the Healdton oil field, lasted less than one and a half hours, beginning about 8 o'clock, yet some watches brought in for repairs stopped as late as 11:30, which the jeweler said was extraordinary. WEDDING MONEY TO POOR. New 'Orleans Couple Put Aside an Flaboreate Affair For Charity. New Orleans--New Orleans had a novel wedding recently when Miss Bella Julia Stern, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Stern, prominent in business and social circles, was married to Robert Frederick of Pittsburgh at the bride's home. No big affair was had, and the one which was planned was given up when the bride and groom decided that they would forego the spending of money on a wedding, but give it instead to the poor of the city. Accompanied by her mother, a noted local charity worker, Mrs. Frederick went to the poorer sections and gave baskets of food to the poor, milk to sick babies and the like, her husband accompanying. BIG FISH FIGHTS. Gave a Wakeeney (Kan.) Resident a Sore Face and Then Got Away. Salluna, Kan—E. A. Hillman of Wakeeney has a sore face, caused by a tussle with a large catfish which he attempted to catch with his hands while swimming. The fish was seen under a log at the edge of the creek apparently asleep. Hillman slipped his hands along the side of the fish and had almost closed his fingers through the gills when his fiskish came to life and jumped for liberty. It struck Hillman such a blow in the face that he was thrown backward and his face badly lacerated and then escaped. Dog Pushed Baby to Death. Dog Puppy Baby to Death Kansas City, Mo.-George Whitford, one-and-one-half-year-old son of George Whitford, living a mile east of Sugar Creek, was bitten on the leg by his pet dog.

Wrongdoers In Illinois to Have Modern Conveniences. New Up to Date Penitentiary For Erring Population of That State Will Cost $3,500,000—Being Built on a Tract of 2,193 Acres. Joliet, Ill.—Prison cells de luxe—each an outside room with carefully washed air, glass roots and all modern conveniences—get your orders in early. That is what the state of Illinois is providing for its erring population. If there is anything in modern penal architecture that has been overlooked the authorities are anxious to know what it is. Each cell will be an outside one, because the cell housesure to be circular in form. The new penitentiary is being built on a tract of 2,193 acres four miles from the present prison, northwest of Joliet. It is to cost $3,500,000, and the foundations of one cell house have just been laid. The plan contemplates eight circular cell houses around a central dining hall, with which each will be connected by a corridor. Each cell house is to be 150 feet in diameter and to accommodate 250 prisoners. Every cell will be an "outside" cell, and its window will open on the walled in prison yard. Its inner front will be glassed in, making each cell a room. In the center of the cell house will be an observation tower. In this a guard constantly will be on watch. From his position near the center of the tower he will be able to command a view of every cell in the circular building. He will keep watch through slits from a darkened interior, and the prisoners will not know which ones are under suspicion. The roof on the cell house will be of glass. An elaborate ventilating system will be installed. The air will be washed and heated. Sunshine will reach every cell. The windows will have steel bars on the inside of the glass casement and on the outside also. To break out a convict would have to saw through both sets of bars while under constant observation. All the cell houses will be connected with the administration building at the entrance by underground tunnels, which can be instantly closed in case of an outbreak. On one side of the group of cell houses will be the chapel and on the other the hospital. Not far away will be the shops and between the shops and the walls the pumping plant. The dwellings of the warden and assistant warden will be outside the well near the administration building. LOST MEMORY AT FIRE. After the Iroquois Disaster Simmons Forgot His Past Life. Binghamton, N. Y.-After being given up as dead thirteen years, Milton Simmons of Kokomo, Ind., real estate dealer, has returned to his mother, Mrs. Cecilia Simmons' of Syracuse. Simmons tells a remarkable story of his loss of memory resulting from the Iroquois fire in Chicago. He was operating a spot light in the balcony when the fire broke out, and he was plunged sixty feet on to the bodies below, but was rescued. The fall caused loss of memory, and after two months in a hospital he recovered, going to Tipton, Ind., where he engaged in business and married. Later he went into the real estate business in Kokomo, where he now resides. Increasing pressure on the brain from the injury resulted in the necessity for an operation last winter, and following this he gradually regained memory of his mother and his former life. RELATIVES FIND GRAVE. After a Search of Seventy-eight Years Marker is Discovered. Danville, Ill.--After a search of seventy-eight years by near relatives the body of Elijah Brown, who left Nashville, Tenn., in 1838 for Illinois, was found recently near Allerton, Ill. Brown was a well known Baptist preacher in Tennessee at that time and started overland to northern Illinois with his wife and seven children, but died en route, and his body was buried by the wayside. A marker was made for the grave, but the place was forgotten. The narrable slab was broken, but the name and date of death in 1838 made identification possible. First Fishing at Seventy-three. Oak II, Kin. After passing seventy-three years without evincing any sympathy with the fishing industry or those who related stirring yarns of fishing exploits, Mrs. R. M. King has become an enthusiastic convert to Waltonism. Mrs. King was induced to go fishing with some of her neighbors at a creek and caught three of the funny tribe before any other member of the party got a bite, and she led in the number caught during the outing. Calf Breaks Woman's Leg. Milton, Ore-Mrs. J. Piepot of the Ferndale district met with a peculiar accident when visiting at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clay, residing a mile above Milton. She was untying the rope to change the pasture for a calf when the animal ran around her, twisting the rope around her leg in such a manner that a fracture in two places resulted. SAVED AFTER TWELVE DAYS LOST IN MINE Young Pole Declares He Had Neither Food Nor Drink. Rochester, N. Y.—Lost for twelve days in the 2,000 foot level of the Retsof salt mines, west of Geneseo, Benny Nicodowsky, twenty-one years old, was found by a rescue party apparently little the worse for his experience. He said that he had neither food nor drink during his wanderings, but physicians who examined him believed that he must have found water. "I had been working a day and a night without sleep," said Benny. "Pretty soon I crawled away when the boss wasn't looking and went to sleep. When I woke up it was all dark and quiet, and I was scared, I bet you." Benny, so far as could be gathered from his story, set out on the trail of his companions, but lost it somehow and got down to the No. 4 level, which had not been worked for eight years. The electric light connections had been removed long ago, and not a ray of light, even at noon, penetrated to the cavernous maze where the scared Polish boy was lost. Benny said that for three days he had not had strength to move from the spot where the rescuers found him. FAMILY SOON TO BE REUNITED IN COLLEGE Mother and Daughter In Same Class; Father Will Join Them Later. Des Moines, Ia.—When sixteen-year-old Ellinor Douglas entered the freshman class of the University of Iowa this term her mother, Mrs. F. L. Douglas, wife of a Highland Park college professor, enrolled in the same class. Together they will spend four years in Iowa City, working for their degrees, and next year, when Mr. Douglas returns to Iowa City to complete the work for his M. A. degree, the entire family will be reunited. It is a matter of family tradition and sentiment which is responsible for mother and daughter attending college together. As the gray haired, tender eyed little woman says: "We have always planned that when Ellinor went to college I should go with her, and it has been one of Ellinor's dreams that we should go back to Iowa City, where her father worked his way through by doing odd jobs for President Macbride." OLD DOG SAVED TWO. Collie That Was Under Sentence of Death Rescued Illinois Lads. Death Rescue Mission Laws. Danville, Ill.-Shep, a 'collie dog that was to have been killed because of his age, saved the sons of his master, Henry Miller from death when they were attacked recently by an angry bull. Jake Miller, age twenty-three, and Valentine Miller, age fifteen, still are in a serious condition of injuries inflicted by the animal, and Shep, swathed in bandages and with one leg in splints, is being cared for in the house by a veterinary. The boys had gone for the cows and were attacked by the bull, which Shep attacked vigorously, so distracting the animal's attention from the boys, both of whom were gored and trampled, that their father was able to drive the infuriated animal away with a pitchfork before the sons were killed. The decision to kill Shep has been abandoned. OWN PLEA SUCCESSFUL. Man Argued His Case and His Sentence Was Reduced. Denver. — Samuel Owens, charged with assault with intent to kill, in the westside court saved himself from a possible penitentiary sentence by addressing the jury, himself in a plea which caused the jury, although finding him guilty, to reduce the conviction to that of assault. The maximum penalty on this conviction is a year in the county jail, while the penalty for assault to kill from one to fourteen years in the penitentiary. Owens stunned his wife, Lillian, with a revolver in their home following a quarrel. He knocked her unconscious and was arrested in the act of sewing up the wound in his wife's head with a needle and thread. Screw In Child's Lung. Ann Arbor, Mich.-A metal screw half an inch long and a quarter of an inch in diameter, which accidentally became lodged in the lungs of four-year-old Margery Pearce, daughter of South Haven people, was removed recently by an operation, without the aid of a knife. Instruments of a special nature were used by Dr. Canfield of this city in drawing the screw, which threatened the child's life, to the throat, from which it was removed by forceps. Legless Men Sell Legs. Nashville, Tenn.—Three men, neither of whom has a leg, all losing their limbs in railway accidents, have bought out an artificial limb company in this city and will operate it in the future.
