C., SATURDAY, JUNE. 9, 1917 PROF. HERSHAW IN FLORIDU Hundreds Hear This Scholar and Orator—Commencement at Edward Watson College Waters College From the Dally Bulletin, Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 1. With the graduation of a class of twenty-three young men and women from the normal and college pregratory department, and the delivery of a masterly address by the Hon. L. M. Hersaw, of the land office in Washington, D. C.: yesterday afternoon, the twenty-sixth commententt exercises of EEdward Waters' College closed closed. The auditorium of the college was filled with eager spectators, composed of patrons, trustees and friends of the college. The processional was made up of President J. A. Gregg, Bishop John Hust, Hon. L. M. Hershaw, orator of the day; members of the faculty, trustees, class of students, making a pageant that was truly inspiring. Miss Hayes and Prof. E. C. Deas, on palno and organ, played the march. The invocation was by Rev. D. M. Baxter, followed by an enrapturing palno duet most admirably executed by Miss Mildred Richtle and Miss Effie Sutton. President, Gregg, to, whose tireless energy and remarkable resourcefulness is due largely the success of the scholastic year, was the central figure on the rostrum; having at his side Bishop John Hust, the power that has crowned the efforts set in motion years ago by the A. M. E. Church in Florida to establish an institution, of learning. Two men of thoughtful action, having at their sides the full array of presiding elders, and the foremost ministers of the church, showed by their every appearance the evidence of the ordeal undergone in the past year to meet the exigencies of ways and means of carrying on the college with its nearly 500 students from Prof. L. M. Hershaw. One of the races best educators and orators. Honored in the South when he Spoke. every part of the place. Commendable was the judgment shown, and quite true to modern custom in the leading college of the country, the guidance was sayd from listening to an oration from every member of the large class of graduates. The salutatory by Miss Annie Verdell Denham, the class representative oration by Huge Alexander Moseley and the valedictory oration by Miss Efie Tula Sutton, were the offers in oratory by thegraduates, each one of whom won great applause. pause. The music by the choral class with Miss Hayes at the jpaino, was joyously received, with a solo by Miss Aurora E. Long, and a rendition of the sextett from Lucia Di Lammamoor. Hon. Hershaw's Address. Bishop Hust introduced the Hon. L. M. Hershaw, orator of the day, paying a tribute to the speaker that prepared all to hear what he so eloquently presented in his address which occupied nearly one hour and which all received with high approval. As a student of conditions educational, as relate to his race, Mr. Hershaw proved his title. From the lessons of the past, majestically did he point out what the future offers. Rarely is it that an audience have opportunity to hear a similar analysis of the fifty years of popular education in this country and even the reluctant could not withhold approval of the tribute paid to what is known as the Reconstruction Period of the South, a period that brought the open classroom to all alike. school notes. Without bitterness the speaker discerted upon the prevailing opinions as to the kind of education his race of people should receive, and his sweeping conclusion, a bold plea for the development, of the mind, came as a climax. The definitions of education, by three of the highest authorities, were dwelt upon and out of this the speaker bought condemnation to the parent. State, community or nation that robs the child of what is youth's heaven-given own. It was at this period of his address that Mr. Hershaw handled the system of salve ery, a system which the sainted John Wesley condemned most scathingly, authority. Illuminating were the assertions made, as to the decrease of the percentage of illiteracy among colored people in the past fifty years, and the ap sim exum eum epum siuiojo jo siuiojo crease was not at all times a compliment to civic authorities. Oelierism came in for treatment, and timely illustrations adduced to prove and disprove the stand taken by that great man, as relate to time limit for usefulness. Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, were given as examples on the one hand, and characters equally as illustrious on the other. Most interesting was the narration of the speaker, of the barrenness of sparsely pedled communities, and the emphasis on the importance of a strong and helpful environment. The Jewish people were held up as a great object lesson, and in conclusion the famous poem by Longfellow, on the Jewish Cemetery was read. Long and loud was the applause given the speaker. spencer President Gregg announced the awarding of prizes won during the year, which were, the R. L. Brown prize, for excellence in music, won by Miss Nettie Adams, five dollars in gold. The Susie J. Black prize, medal for the best kept room, won by Carey Gibbs, the A. L. Lewis prize, medal and the A. L. Lewis trophy; the first, five dollars in gold, and the second, by the representative of the Moore Literary Society, a silver loving cup; the D. S. McGill prizes, five, three and two dollars in cash, won by Rudolph Brown, James A. Long, Jr., and Miss Alama Deas. The W. A. Glover prize, for the best senior theme, won by C. Summer Long, Jr., the H. W. Newsome prizes, won by Miss Irene Bazter and Frankie Gregg, the Allen Christian Endeavor Union Medal, won by Miss Evalina Bingham. The Ladies Auxiliary of the college presented President Gregg with a Panama hat, through Mrs. H. D. Canty, their president. As an exter number on the musical program a delightful palinic selection was rendered by Miss Mae Baxter, a graduate of the college; and now a senior in the Conservatory of Oberlin College, Ohio. This was loudly applauded. Bishop Hust awarded the diplomas, an act that drew great applause. Resolutions were read from the board of trustees, expressing the highest appreciation of the work of Bishop Hust. President Gregg the executive committee, the building committee, for the success of the year. * This resolution was read by Dr. C. S. Long, and adopted. It also included thanks and appreciation of the excellent work done by the Ladies Auxiliary in outfitting the president's office, the bishop's office and the girls' dormitory. The following resolution was also read by the Rev. Dr. S. H. Savage, concerning the donation from Rev. A. L. Brunson, of Lakeland: Whereas, Rev. A. L. Brinson, out of the goodness of his heart and by his great love for the cause of Christian education and welfare of Edward Waters College has donated to the trustee, a gate, at the cost of $90; therefore, be it Resolved, that our expression of approval and acceptance of the same be hereby given, and the thanks of this board be herewith tendered: Rev. S. M. Gibbs, chairman; Rev. S. J. Patterson, Rev.S. H. Savage, committee. MOB. VIOLENCE DENOUNCED BY TUSKEGEE'S PRINCIPAL. Tory, Alabama. June 3—Dr. Robert R. Moton. Principal of the Tuskegee Institute, was the principal speaker here today before an audience of perhaps two thousand persons, both white and colored, who filled the spacious First Baptist Church to it capacity. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Colored men's Patriotic League of Pike County of which Dr. S. B. Innis is the president. In his remarks, Dr. Moton urged the colored people to plant every available foot of ground in food products, and to co-operate with the white people, who by their presence and expressions of interest, gave, the best evidence of their good will and friendly feeling. With regard to the injustice to which the Negro of the South is responsible for the present movement of Negroes from the South, Dr. Moton said: "The South should see to it that the labor agents, from Northern industrial center have no just cause for appeal on account of injustice to the Negro. 'I can quite frankly say that the Negro race is always humiliated and ambarrossed by crimes such as is alleged to have been committed by a Negro in a sister state. We feel more ashamed than we can express. However, it is not fair to the South, nor to the nation, not to the Negro race for the white people of the South to permit the irresponsible members of their as the burning of human beings, especially in this enlightened age. Our law are made by white people and executed by white people, and there is not one chance in a million that a Negro would escape justice where the crime is such as the one referred to above. Such disregard for law cannot help but discourage the colored people of the South." Dr. Moton leased his remarks with a strong appeal to his people to see that every Negro who is subject to draft under law is registered on June 5th. The party from Tuskegee Institute JOHN C.

Sunday was a busy day for the pastor of the Duffley Baptist church. The pastor preached at 11 o'clock Sunday morning; his text was Exodus 14:14. He said during the discourse: "Every time Israel sinned and turned aside to worship idol gods, God punished them, God punishes his anointed when they turn away from Him; because He loves them; because He is jealous of them." The Lord chastiseth him whom He loves," too. He says that, "I am a jealous God." jefferson God. Freedom came to us because somebody was praying, our old mothers prayed when we were sold at auction, prayed when we were whipped and driven like cattle to the fields. Our fathers sought God to right the wrong when wives were sold, and children driven off never, to return; and God heard their prayers; and by a strong hand, or many hands and those individuals like John Brown, Nat Turner and Frederick Douglas, threw the picture on the canvas, which agitation was taken up by such men and women as Mrs. Stowe, Garrison and Sunner and others, reaching a climax in President Abraham Lincoln when with one mighty stroke of the pen four millions of my people stepped out into the lime light of freedom and turned their heads toward Canaan; the Canaan whether God would have them go. Every time there was a turning aside on the part of the children o Israel God withdrew, in a measure his Great-Guiding Hand. I believe many of our affortunies came about because we have turned aside to feast at the shrine of the white man's God. Of course, many of the indignities, race troubles similarly to such occured last week down in St. Louis are down right devil concocted schemes to draw us away from God. Hold, your peace! Talk about going to war, fighting for what? Just such treatment as we received last week and many times in the past? Run to God hobben and sisters. At a clock on the hour—for our pastor is a man on the dot, as scheduled, and Prof. F. R. Rainer is too, a man of that caliber; the graded school assembled, at which time Rev. E. T.

There is a tendency on the part of churches and preachers everywhere of the get together spirit and it is essential that we should. We can't let such little things as denominational differencese interfere with our religious and material progress. The sum of civilization is too high and the concerned effort that should be made as religiously; can't be made so long as we stand so far apart. At 4 o'clock all, or the churches of the city met the Christian Alliance in its first public meeting. Rey, J. T. Reed, pastor of the Ebenezer, spoke using as his subject, "Consistent Church Attendance." Rev. S. R. Hughes, pastor of the Mt. Zion M. E. Church, spoke on "Man Worship versus God Worship." Rev. E. T. Johnson, pastor of the Dudley, spoke on "Unity." Laymen from the above named churches made splendid remarks. Prof. F. R. Ramer of Mt. Zion, Deacon S. Elam of Dudley, Dr. Geo. Balis of Ebenezer were slated but you know how it is with the doctors—his patients are first Every body enjoyed the religious good cheer and spiritual feeling which permeated the occasion. Mrs. Hilda Thornton and sister of Pittsburg are here visiting their grandma and pa, Deacon Jno. L. Veney, and wife. Mrs. Mabel Sampson, of Washington, paid her mother and town acquaintances a flying visit. The Women and Men Rally was a success, spiritually and financially. About $200 was raised. Many thanks to Mrs. Rebecca Pelham of Washington and long live Editor Chase of The Bee who are real Race Leaders. The first Grand Lawn Fete of the season was given Tuesday night by the ladies of the Dudley Baptist Church, under the chairmanship of Sister Julia Crumwell, who has a very fine and palatial residence on W Burke, St., assisted by many stauch sisters whose names would take up too much space. The Bee will hereafter buzz in Martinsburg. Mr Lu Ransom, of 110 W. John's st., is a subscriber. COMMENTS AND GLEANINGS BY THE GLEANER. All the elements that conspired to defeat the President for re-election last November are still at work trying to defeat universal service in the army and the sale of the Liberty Loan Bonds. Of course the main inspiration Count Von Bernstoff is absent. Why not issue a commission to Col. Roosevelt as an Admiral and let him tackle the German U-boat proposition. Here is a chance for him to shine on the first page of history. It's a bad thing to tell Colored people they have no flag. The Stars and Stripes were over all Americans and if the Colored brother is not an American, in heavens name what is he? Some of the Colored brethren, who publish newspapers, are skating on thin ice. Many of their expressions border on a very ugly word just at this time. Registration now being over, next follows, volunteering or drafting. Chose ye which you prefer. A camp for the training of twelve hundred and fifty Colored men as officers, doubtless means several regiments will be organized and placed under the command of these officers. This is a very propitious time for a complete union of the north and south solidarity in patriotism, is the cry now. Not criticism of the dead past. There are no traitors to the flag among the people of the south in the present crisis. If the large number of Negroes who are immigrating from the Southland would settle upon the unoccupied lands of the west in place of bunching in the densely populated cities of the east and west, they could solve another threatening problem. It's an interesting fact that none of the great Negro statesmen, past or present, have ever urged Congress to pass a bill making lynching a Federal defense. Time was when the republican party was in power in all branches of the government, for many years, and Negro leaders were working hard to keep them in power for the protection of infant industries evidently overlooking the full grown leader of lynching. industry Strange things are happening, as a result of this world wide war. For instance, black people fighting against German Autocracy to avenge the rape of Belgium, forgiving if not forgetting the cruelty and barbarity of the Belgians in the Congo rubber trade of Africa. It is gratifying to learn that the War Department has to intention of sighting the colored element of the population, as has been charged. Plans announced from Washington, which provide for the training of 1250 negroes as officers of colored regiments, evidently contemplate the raising of 20,000 or 30,000 troops of this character. There is no more loyal or patriotic element in America than our citizens of African origin, and many thousands of them have been anxious to show their devotion to their country by taking part in the war. The plans of the Government will give them every opportunity to do so. The negro troops, in the army have always been among its best fighters. They distinguished themselves in Cuba in the Spanish American war, and more recently in the expedition led by General Pershing into Mexico. There is no doubt that they will acquit themselves equally well on the battlefields of Europe—Philadelphia Record. Europe. Dissatisfied with the conditions under. Autocratic government the immigrant sought this country for greater freedom and larger opportunities. So leaves the Negro from the Autocratic Southland, migrating north for similar reason. The light throughout the world is against the oppression of manhood rights, the autocrat. THE RIGHT PREVAILS Trustees Stand By Miss Burroughs and Their Trust—Hold Great Meeting at the School—Refuse to Accept Rodger's Recommendation. For months there have been wild speculations as to what would be the attitude of the Trustee Board of the National Training School for Women and Girls, of which Miss Nannle H. Burroughs is president, in regard to the Rodgers recommendation. The Board met at the Institution during commencement and passed the following resolution: Resolved: That the Trustee Board in regular session (June. 2, 1917) declared that they are legally and rightfully the custodians of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Inc., and have no authority to turn the property over to any person or persans. This being the right of this Trustee Board. We think it unwise and unnecessary to concede to the request of the National Baptist Convention, submitted at its last session (recommended by auditor Rodgers), concerning the transfer of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Inc., as the rights and relationship of the Woman's Convention Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention are already protected by its Board of 80 Trustees, as specifically set forth in Article 4 and in By-laws 9 and 12 of the Corporation. Be it further resolved: That we have implicit faith and confidence in the capability and unswerving integrity of the president, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. In conducting the affairs of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Inc. and urge the hearty co-operation of all loyal Baptists and all others interested in the training and development of women and girls for positions of trust and honor. By united efforts, we can here glorify God, build up the Kingdome, live up to our Sacred Trust, and uphold the high standards already set up at this Institution. This clears the sky for the school, and keeps it out of the great battle that has been raging among National Hunters for over two years. We took the position at the beginning that neither legally nor morally, could those trustees do less than they have done and expect the school to live. The acceptance of the Rodgers "scheme" would have meant death and destruction to a seventy-five thousand dollar plant that has been built up by one woman in seven years. Then too, the trustees could not transfer the property. To whom could they transfer it? Neither the Woman's Convention, nor the Nation at Baptist Convention is incorporated (so they claim), who then would become legally responsible for the school if the trustees step down and out? It does seem that certain of our English brothers have lost their senses. People are not going to invest money in a school that is in the hands of people who are not legally responsible for their acts. So far as Miss Burroughs is concerned, she meeds, no vindication her work is her defense. She is a hard working, honest, conscientious, for visioned, brave leader, and the people will stand by her regardless of how dismuted, organization wreckers think and feel. The acts of the trustees have been published for eight years, and they are simply declaring that the Woman's Convention cannot reverse itself without injury to those who have carried out the provisions of a charter, submitted, accepted and published for eight consecutive years. The trustees simply stood up in defense of the trust committed to them eight years ago. The attendance was the largest at any meeting of any in the history of the school. Many who could not come, sent their proxies with definite instruction that they stood against anything that would interfere, in the least with the school as it now stands. The hearts of the trasteens were made glad when Miss Boroughs formally turned over a new library building, and reported the purchase of the "Chapman Place"—an adjoining property. These two additions, representing over $7,900 in realty and buildings, makes 1917 the year of greatest progress in the history of the school. The enrollment was the largest. Every teacher is paid in full. The trustees are in debt so Miss Burroughs, but they arranged to start a campaign to pay the faithful, self sacrificing, head official. Friends have already sent in response do an appeal over 500 books for the new library. The school had already 4,000 volumes. The commencement exercises were a fitting climax to the most successful year the school has had. Twenty-two young women received certificates and diplomas. YOUNG TYLER PASSES. Harold M.

In our article No. 5 of this series we named Thirteen, Cardinal Sins that hold us back in business. Among them we included Opportunism. In. No. 6 we talked about Graft, the very worst. Opportunism differs from Graft only in degree. All opportunists are not intentionally outright rascals and grafters, because all of them may not have deep design for evil. The Opportunist is the fellow who, regardless of all after consequences, simply aims to "get by," to turn the trick for this one time, and so he strikes while the iron is hot; makes hay while the sun shines; makes every edge cut. His mottoes are: This is my opportunity; I can consider no time but now. "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush;" Catch a sucker, soak his head. The Opportunist would dearly like to have a personal credit and lie well knows, how to gain it; but the imp of evil at his elbow ever whispers, "You need the money." And so the O. never takes a step or acts any act that helps him to build up a good reputation. The Opportunist is in almost all cases a progger, beggar, fake borrower, bamboozoeller, flimflammer; or grafter. O no, he is no common thief; he usually keeps within the law. He does business on the principle that the actual new victim is better picking than a possible-old customer. Typical Opportunists are, the merchants of the streets of Cairo, the old-time Bowery merchant; the old-time merchant of Seventh street and D street, the stock seller, the ticket seller, the festive horse trader the courtesan, the panderer, the boodler politician, the professional charity worker; the fellow who does you a bum job and charges the standard price for it. The O. usually likes to make queer complicated business propositions. He does not like to make a definite or specific contract (his honor is his guarantee); he is an evader, a side-stopper, artful dodger. He avoids making an itemized estimate for work he proposes to do; he avoids giving a receipt when he can. He does not want his accounts audited. He hates the auditor. He is a mumber, muddler, cuttlefish. The O. is usually a confidence man; his trap is always set; he profits on the sympathy of honest people. While he seldom forgets, he often profits by the forgetfulness of others. No business is too small for him. To keep in practice, he will borrow a pencil, magazine, book or cup of sugar. He never voluntarily returns anything borrowed. The O. is not confined to any country, race, class, degree of wealth or education. We see him in rags and in broadcloth, in hovies and palaces. The colored race has an undue share of him. The worst species is seen among the strainers—people who attempt to live without much honest labor or on a plane not warranted by an honest revenue. In olden times, when human morals were more than now on the order of the lower animal kingdom, the Opportunists were not as now the exception to the rule. Then they were the people of influence and power, and they got the courts to adopt for their benefit the old maxim of law, "Caveat emptor"—let the buyer beware. What a pernicious rule of law! It still survives in the courts to a large extent. But the courts gradually began to take active notice of an improved morality, and they are tardily admitting the principle of "Quantum meruit"—let the seller collect only what he serves. Here are two conflicting rules of the common law affecting common honesty; both in good standing. It is unsafe to go into court relying on either of them. Where does the safety of the honest man lie? The question answers itself. The O. calls his victim a sucker; he has a contempt for the sucker. In most well-ordered business circles and communities the opportunities of the O. have been greatly curtailed, and where he is known he has no standing; he has lost both business and social caste. But among our people in Washington the Opportunist can still hold his head. And while the majority of the people would not trust a known O. behind a broomstick in any financial matter yet he retains his social caste, and we constantly see him active in politics and in "public-spirited" and "honestable" movements. charitable The O. is not a blusher, and he always relishes a real good story of sharp practice. It amuses him. The Opportunist is nearly always an individualist, especially after he has been found out. He usually opposes all collective or co-operative movements. This is a logical consequence, for no one will trust him with a large responsibility. Hence he is not adopted for partnership or for any co-operative enterprise or for any business whose basis must be confidence or credit. The professional Opportunists, however, are the most active men in our community. They keep in the limelight; their names are known to all. A curious result is that we have a lot of leaders who do not lead, and a host of the business skeptics (doubting Thomases) who will not follow them. The modest capable honest man is seldom heard or seen. Our main reasons for exposing Opportunism in connection with the proposed establishment of the Business Exchange are these: First, to warn our people that Opportunism must not become a typical characteristic of our race; second; because it is fatal to Cooperation; third, to counsel that one of our very first steps must be to break the backbone of it. Some surprise has been expressed in certain quarters because we mentioned the Boolay Order in the same breath with the United Brothers of Friendship, The Sisters of the Mysterious Ten and the Oriental Order of Humanity. One anonymous writer tells us we don't know what we are talking about and that we don't even spell the name right. Gracious goodness. We don't know how to spell the name right. Folks say it is a, Greek name. The whole Boolay business is Greek to us, for it is a secret order. We are not a member of it, and, if reports are true, we could not qualify for membership. But though the Boolays is a secret order, some of the members have been laking. In consequence of the leaks some folks say: The Boolays are colored male graduates of northern schools and colleges. Presumably no person of any other description is eligible to membership, although we are not sure they have drawn the color line. They are a self-corstituted, self-perpetuating body. They move noiselessly, flit from place to place for their "councils" like the furtive whippoorwill at even-tide. While proud of themselves, they seem to be ashamed their existence. Here are mixed emotions. They are not a co-ordinate unit of any other class. They are sui generis. Their basis of classification is their superior alma-matering; they sucked their knowledge at a richer, sweeter tit than other negro youth did. We have not learned that a record of past performance in business, professional life," science or art is a requisite for membership. We are lead to suspect that they are a corps of elites, exquisites, arbiters of the elegancies, models of modernity, eastern stars, northern lights. Aht Northern lights, why not call the whole constellation of them the Aurora Borealis? Several of our readers have written to ask what the object of the Boolay is, what it does, what good it is? We don't know; yet probably their questions are sufficiently answered above. Object: Probably to hold periodical "councils"; to engage in mutual admiration: to pity the graduates of such schools as At- lanta, Fisk, Howard, Talladega, Union and Wilberforce. What they do: Here are our guesses—Hold "councils," fall upon the necks of one another and embrace; pity the graduates of southern colleges. The good they do: Not any. Do they do any harm? In a negative sort of way, they can and will do great harm. The greatest curse and obstacle to the progress of the American colored people is their lack of solidarity, lack of unity. They now have but one hatred of the "jimerow" customs and lynch law. And so the only universal bond of interest is a negative one—protest anathema. They are of one mind on that only, even including the Boolays. That there is no other bond of union amongst us is to be deplored. Hence any respectable example of snobbishness and exclusiveness founded on a frivolous basis of classification is harmful to all negroes; harmful to the Boolay, members. Any movement, influence or example that tends to make for more caste is pernicious, and hence reprehensible. Are we opposed to the Boolays? Are we opposed to any foul odor? No. But we can hold our nose Whew! Boo! OATH-BOUND SOCIETIES. Oath-bound societies are nearly all based on the spirit of pure selfishness, predatory gain, or some form of war against others. The members are usually cowards. They band themselves together for better security; they dislike open and fair competition; they fire from ambush; they knife in the back. In fundamental principles they are nearly all alike. Here is a copy of the oath and declaration of a band of Virginia mountaineers recently unearthed by the government secret service agents: "Go to ye rich men, weep and howl for the misery that shall come upon you." "In the name of God, the great Supreme, here under the black arch of heavens, I pledge and consecrate my body and limbs, to devote my life to obedience to my superiors that no peril shall deter me from executing their orders, that I will submit to every possible means of my power for the extermination of our enemies and big freeholders, and before violating a single clause or implied pledge of this obligation, I will permit the separation of my liead and body to be dealt out to me when due. Amen." "The country is ours and all therein. We have only to come together and demand it. The big land owners, the speculators and the revenues shall be no more known. There will be no fighting, we have already learned that. Get ready." THE COUNTRY'S CRISIS What has become of Vardaman, John Sharp Williams, and dozens of other patriotic defenders (?) of the colored Americans? These great advocates of fair play and political equality for the oppressed have had no time in their country's crisis to use the name "nigger" alias "negro." They have said nothing to urge the south to rise in upholding the arms of the President. Where are they? What has become of them? Hefflin in a speech in. Congress declared that the government could do without the colored man. The Bee is of the opinion that the colored American will be as much needed at this time as he was in '67 and more so, and when he is called upon to serve his country, notwithstanding the treatment that he is receiving at the hands of his government, he will demonstrate his loyalty to the flag. Germany is fighting the world. It is a powerful nation that will ask no favors. Let our slogan be: The colored American will fight against his enemies and up hold the honor and dignity of the American nation, and President of a United country. These are the sentiments of a people who are oppressed without cause and discriminated against on account of their nationality. MISS BURROUGHS VINDI CATRD. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the race's greatest organizer and one of the best known educators in the United States comes out victorious in her fight against the opposition of a quasi National Baptist Convention which claimed to have power to take other people's property to which it had no right. This so-called Baptist Convention met somewhere in the South and its members decided among,themselves that there was a female in the city of Washington who had established a training school for women and girls and owned a cer- tain amount of property which these irresponsible delegates to the convention wanted. Rev. Walter Brooks and Rev. J. H. Jernagin respectively the trustees of the school were present and objected to this attempt of graft. Some of the so-called wise individuals in the convention, constituted themselves the body and decided to come to this city and take possession of the people's property. The Bee at the time exposed this attempted graft and informed the invaders that they would be chased from Lincoln Heights if they attempted to invade that territory. Elsewhere in the Bee, this week it will be seen and read with interest, the action of the trustees, who very sensibly sustained Miss Burroughs. This school under the supervision and presidency of Miss Burroughs, is a monument to colored women and girls, and its founder is entitled to the plaudits of colored American womanhood. If the men who constituted that Baptist gathering want property why don't they work for it? Why don't they cease building air castles with the people's money, cease summer frolics and go to work? The Bee congratulates Miss Burroughs. MISS BURROUGHS: ADDS TO THE PROPERTY THE PROPERTY. The growth of the National Training School is one of the marvels of our times. Last week Miss Burroughs bought the "Chapman property" for the Trustees, and she is now giving her attention to plans for transforming the place for institutional work. This gives the School four long city blocks with seven building. A new Library has been added and it is a beautiful and valuable accession. Water and Sewer Service are to be extended to the School this summer. The marvel of marvels is how Miss Burroughs does all of these things with such ease on such limited income. No large gifts have ever been made to the school, nor lias she an endowment or an assured income from any source. The Bee knows the secret. The leader is an honest, self-sacrificing, level headed business woman, who is looking after the interest of the people, and allows no amount of success to swell her head. She has paid the price for her high place by toil and people of this type are not easily intoxicated. Congratulations, Miss Burroughs. Our liats are off to you. THE BLUE AND THE GRAY. The Blue and the Gray have united. The cause for which both fought, bleed and died has been forgiven and the survivors have assembled at the National Capital and extended the olive branch of peace and today The Blue and The Gray will unite for the common good of the country as long as the Colored American doesn't attempt to arise from the common level. The black man who fought to save the Union is relegated to the rear; the Gray who fought to astray the Union is today placed upon civil, social and political equality with all white American citizens and those who are friendly to the government. The black man has no malice against the Gray, he too offers his hand and protection as he did when the Gray left him at home with his wife and children while he went to the war to tighten the shackles of slavery around his body. To The Blue and The Gray, the Colored American offers his hands and extends the olive branch of peace. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I permanently around the, registering booth Tuesday and witnessed the young Americans registering their names. I said to myself, what a pity it was to see the flowers of community signing, and the great man, to be done? You must not rebel, because that would be treason. As loyal and patriotic citizens, the young men must shoulder the musket and march bravely to the front in defense of his country. The country is infested with traitors and spies. The only loyal Americans are the young Americans and they can be trusted under all circumstances and conditions. I attended the Pinchback anniversary last Saturday night. It was a representative body of men. The governor must have been pleased when he saw so many of his friends doing him honor. If the committee on program had followed strictly the program, Fred Moore would not have been given an opportunity to make a speech and Childs interrupted the occasion with an imaginary reflection, as we said, he should have been ordered down by Judge Ferrell. Course the Judge was too modest to interrupt the intrusion. Dr. Bruce Evans said nothing. The sage was very near him. The fact is, Dr. Childs was not on the program and he thought that was his opportunity to go in for a speech. At all public functions every care should be exercised in the selections of speakers. Of course the presiding officer cannot bridle the tongue of restless individuals or men who are fragrant with decayed speeches. If they are not allowed to make their way in the opening, blood poison is liable to set in and the patient may die. Very often they do die and it was unevidenced last Saturday night. I wonder what those little 21 year old bodies will do when they stand before German guns. In the late Civil war, men had to enlist and not babies. Well. I suppose it is keeping up with the prediction of the Bible. The world is getting weaker and wiser. Look at the babies with husbands and children. They look like babies themselves. If the boys who have been graduated from the training camp adulthood, that is, in life-time job, they are mistaken. After the war is over, then stops, the commissions of the reserved officers, except those who will be pensioned for disabilities. I failed to see one Colored registration officer. The Colored brothers who must do some fighting seemed to have been welged in the ballance and found wanting. The ex-Confederates have more consideration and honor than the Colored boys who were loyal to the country when it was about to be distroyed. The American people are peculiar. The more disloyal you are the better you are treated. The Colored man doesn't know what it is to be disloyal. If the Whites of the north and south can shake hands after one of the most bloody conflicts that has ever been witnessed in this country, why can't the Colored men? The time is fast approaching when there will be no north nor south, no east or west so far as strife is concerned. Well, you should have seen the bachelors at the polls and the sweet-hearts in distress. Those who didn't come to the polls remained at home and were caressed by their mothers. Poor girls, what a time they have. What the result will be after the war, I am unable to state. I saw one poor individual who resides near the office, near the barber shop or avenue DNig actually shedding tears and a little distance from him was his better half. Of course he was anxious to enlist. His burdens are heavy as it is and the only way to be relieved from further trouble, as he remarked before he left home, was to enlist. The next draft will be from thirty to forty-five. That will take in all of the moss-back bachelors and midnight-bodied men in town walking and looking for something and praying not to find it. This draft business will give us able-bodied men an opportunity to get some exercise on the farms. Judge Wewlett; who is anxious to be drafted will come in on the next lot. It will strike him about right. The Judge is anxious to knock the chip off somebody hat and he will be given an opportunity in the next draw. My friend, J. Finley Wilson, had to to up his neck just about the time the draft took place. Dr. Bruce Evans, his physician, made the excuse that it was a boll. Of course Bruce is a reliable individual, but that boll didn't prevent Finley from registering. He will be able to carry dispatches from Major Walker to Capt. Newman if nothing else. Finley can do that all right. I forgot Finley passed the recruiting age. He was sixty his last birthday. If you could see him at the occasion, bedecked in his swallow tail, he would you have believe that he was not over twenty-one. If he is not caught this lot, the next will certainly register him among the mascots. **NEW MOVING PICTURE COMPANY.** The Ker Mar Picture Producing Corporation of Baltimore, now comes to the aid of the Colored Theatre throughout the U. S., and will present for them exclusively a series of high class Movie Features in Three and Five Reels, made with an all-star cast of Colored Players. For weeks a body of young Colored People in the City of Baltimore, have been undergoing the most rigid training under the supervision of the Ker Mar Director, and at last have mastered the principle requirements of the Movie Actor, and will start work at once upon the making of their First Feature. The thought lying behind the formation of the Colored Company is a very good one from the company making standpoint, there are hundreds of theatres in the United States, one has realized the advantage of this theatrical field, and presented this race with pictures of its own kind. Here the Ker Mar will supply a long felt want. Principle among the Ker Mar Plays, will be found a Serial Story of twenty reels released in ten chapters, known as "The Haubted Million." This serial photo play is the equal of, and the superior of many of the White Serials. Its production will entail the expenditure of a great many thousands of dollars. The cast will number over five hundred people, all Colored. "The Negro Civilization" will also be started this summer. "The Negro Civilization" will run in theme from the time of the Ancients right down to present day, showing a formal form the account of the race in all parts of the world and professions, etc. It is estimated, from the number of letters that the company has received from all parts of the world, that this production will run three thousand times in America, two thousand times in Cuba, Central South America, and nearly the hundred times in Europe. never forget The Company' Studio is located four miles from the City of Baltimore, and comprises about twenty-one acres of ground. It will be the policy of the company to use the writings of well known Colored writers; several people by well known Colored people are now under going the process of being "Picturized" at the company offices in Baltimore. Mr. S. H. Dudley, the great theatrical producer, and the editor of "The Bee" have purchased stock in this company. Mr. William Clifford, and Mr. Charles E. Lane are interested in this company, which should be sufficient guarantee that this is one of the greatest race productions.

June 4, 1917. Hon. E. L. Thurston, Dear Sir, I noticed that not one of the colored members of the Board of Education was invited to be present at your banquet at the Willard a night or so ago. I cannot conceive how man and woman of refinement and education can exhibit such mean low prejudice. Have you seen so soon forgotten that it was the vote of the colored member that saved you from humiliation? Not that the colored members would have felt honored by being at the banquet, but they were members of the Board and should have had some notice of it. This is a bad example to set for the rising-generation. Yours truly, E. M.

Brilliant Reception and Presentation in Honor of the Retiring Pastor of Metropolitan A, M. E. Church and His Charming Help-Meet—Eloquent Orators Make the Welkin Rink With Hearty Endorsements of Dr. Stepteau's Splendid Administration—Painstaking Business Man and Consecured Spiritual Leader—Tributes of Dr. Garner, Miss Madre and Miss Burroughs—Finest Function in History of Church. Voicing sentiments of the highest appreciation of his services as a pastor here for the past three years and testifying to their recognition of his rare qualities as a Christian gentleman and scholar an immense audience turned out at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Tuesday evening of last week to bid farewell to the Rev. Dr. C. Harold Stepteau, and say adieu likewise to his charming wife and help meet. Mrs. Stepteau, whose worth and work have stamped her as a most useful factor in the social and religious life of the capital. Speakers, regardless of denomination, spoke in the most laudatory terms of the labors of Dr. Stepteau for the upbuilding of his own church and of the generous and cheerful assis tance he has rendered every agency that had for its object the spread of A. B. civic righteousness. As a Christian teacher, a spiritual leader, as a conscientious and industrious business man and as a friend and brother to humanity, the character of Dr. Steteau was analyzed and commended, and the reception to the depaing pastor of Bethel was pronounced by a holds the best attended and most elaborately directed affair of its kind that the church has known in many a year if ever. year. If ever Paeans of Praise For a Powerful Pastor. The introductory address of the evening was delivered by Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, chairman of the general reception committee, and Bishop I. N. Ross, Washington's best-loved prelate, was announced as presiding officer. Having pastored this church for five years, Bishop Ross "knew the ropes," as it were, and his tribute to the abilities of Dr. Stepteau was eloquent and convincing, because it came from one who could speak with authority of the difficulties that must be encountered by the helmsman of a mighty vessel. He said Dr. Stepteau had maintained a high rate of speed throughout the three years' voyage, had kept the old ship true to her course, and was now leaving the galant craft in a safe harbor, where peace and prosperity abounded. Rev. Dr. John Van Schalck, Jr., president of the Board of Education, gave one of the brilliant talks for which he is famous, and brought out the virtues of the guest of honor in bold relief. Strong endorsements of Dr. Stepteau's constructive work were given by Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court; Mr. R. C. Bruce, Rev. Dr. Carlton Tanner, Dr. Stepteau's successor at Metropolitan church; Mr. A. S. Pinkett, president of Bethel Literary and Historical Association; Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church; Mrs. Julia-Mason-Layton of Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of the District; Mr. W. H. J. Beckett, superintendent of the Sunday-school; Mr. Joseph H. Stewart, of the trustee board; and others. Beautiful Tokens of Regard Presented. A substantial token of appreciation, a silver, water set, was presented to Rev. and Mrs. Stepteau, a witty and happy address being delivered by Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church and Grand Chief of the Order of St. Luke. A beautiful bouquet of roses was presented to Mrs. Stepteau, on behalf of her host of friends and admirers throughout the District. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights. D. C., made one of the best efforts of her platform career. She did full justice to the worth of Dr. and Mrs. Stepteau. Miss Madre Says "Farewell" and "God-Speed. The farewell address by Miss Marie A. D. Madre, LLB, LLM., for five terms president of Bethel Literary Society, and one of Washington's best platform speakers, was "a gem of the purest ray serene." She represented the church, the schools, musical organizations and Bethel Literary Society, and her scintillating and epigrammatic speech made the welkin ring. In well-chosen words she told of the love and esteem in which Dr. and Mrs. Stepteau were held by Metropolitan church and the community at large, and declared that all Washington would follow his future career with sympathetic interest. She bade him farewell and wished him God-speed in the new field of Christian endevor to which he had been called and presented him with a bouquet of American eBauty roses on behalf of the Federation of Women Clubs of D. C. The response by Dr. Stepteau was touching in the extreme, and many were visibly affected, although the occasion was a festive one. The departure ing pastor said he had tried to do his duty according to his lights, and that it is gratifying in the highest degree to listen to so many expressions of approval of his stewardship and to note so many evidences of friendly regard. Brilliant Record of a Busy Adminis- regard. Brilliant Record of a Busy Admini- tration. Dr. Stepteau, with becoming modesty, and with the simplicity and quiet directness that have character- ized his labors throughout the three years he has gone in and out among us, briefly reviewed the policies, plans and achievements of his admittedly brilliant administration. He said in part: in part: "The first thing done after my arrival was to roof the building; practically a new roof was needed as the old one leaked almost all over. This cost $151.85, every cent of which has been paid. The fences around the place were an eye-sore. At a cost of $76.00 these were repaired; every dollar paid. Then we had no culinary department. We set to work on that and fitted up as good a kitchen establishment as any in Washington at a cost of $175.00, every dime of which is paid. There was a balance of $226.16 on the cushions; every dollar paid. Then we repaired the lecture room and beautified the parlor at a cost of more than $200.00, every dollar of which has been paid. We also installed two sets of toilers at a cost of more than $600.00. We paid more than half of that and the Young Men's Club has the balance well in hand. We finished paying for the steam heat, when we paid Mrs. Bloodsaw her $400.00. The parsonage was improved by the erection of a nice back porch and installation of a nice porcelain sink. We paid over $2,000 interest on the bonded debt, interest and note on the parsonage to the amount of more than $500.00 and kept up the general interest of the church. I now leave $800.00 in the treasury of the Church Aid Circle with which to put in the long-awaited tric lights. These are a few things we have done and trust they will add to the comfort of grand old Metropolitan church and to the pleasure of her progressive people." Dr. Stepteau concluded his delightful address by declaring that he would ever hold in memory his sojourn in Washington and the tender ties created here could not be severed by time nor tide. Mrs. Stepteau thanked her friends for their delightful remembrance and assured them that the nation's capital would always have a were given the Chautauqua salute, warm place in her affections. Both and Metropolitan A. M. E. Church's most successful reception to a retiring shepherd came to an end in a blaze of glory, enthusiasm and good cheer all around. Big Things Done in a Big Way By Big Christians. The reception committee, in charge of the general management of the elaborate and edifying West-Hamilton was headed by Mrs. Julia West-Hamilton. Mr. Erastus Molen was assistant chairman, aided by Mrs. Alverta V. Thornton. Mrs. Virginia B. Jeter was treasurer, and Mrs. Mamie J. Brown, secretary. One hundred associates, including Miss Madre, Mr. W. H. J. Beckett, Mr. E. A. Patten and others, gave valuable aid to the cause. cause Dr. G. W. Cabaniss, spoke for the of the district. doctors of the institution. Mr. H. W. Chase, one of the doctor's admirers and friends, presented him with an enclosed envelope in which he stated was a check for the doctor. In addition to this Mr. Chase offered to assist the doctor in a trip abroad, saying, "I want you to go abroad and when you get ready to make the trip, let me know. I want to help you and whatever you lack in money to make the trip, I will supply." This is genuine love and friendship. I love them. A hansome set of cut glasses inlaid with gold was presented by Messrs. Erasust. Molen and R. E. Mrs. Stenteau. Perrin to Mrs. Steph. Dr. Stepteau has taken charge of his new work at Allen A. M. E. Church, Baltimore, and has been most enthusiastically received. SUPREME LODGE MUST PAY THE COSTS. Supreme Court Issues Decree Restoring Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia to All of Its Rights and Privileges. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Mr. Justice McCoy presiding, handed down the decree, to-day permanently restraining and rejoining the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E. A., A. & A. its officers in its behalf from treating the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia as dissolved and from declaring or treating the lodge subordinate thereto and the members attached thereto as not entitled to all of the right and privileges of members of the Order of the Knights of Pythias. Pythias. It also permanently restrains and enjoins the Supreme Lodge from collecting or attempting to collect any unpaid portion of the taxes for which the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias was suspended and also from enforcing or attempting to enforce the proclamation of suspension issued by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, at New Orleans, La., July 20th, 1912, and from revoking or attempting to revoke the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Vingina for any of the causes mentioned in the aforesaid proclamation. aforest and proclaim Under this decree, the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of Vinginia is restored to all of its rights and privileges in the Supreme Lodge and the illegal levy of the per capita or head tax upon the individual members by the Supreme Lodge under the old constitution, set aside. The degree concludes: cree concludes "It is further ordered, adjudged and decree that the plaintiff, (Grand Lodge K. of P. of Virginia) recover its costs of and from the detendants (Supreme Lodge) and have execution thereof as at law." The Knights of Pythias in Virginia have been under suspension by the Supreme Chancellor for five years and had been subjected to humiliating treatment at the hands of the Supreme Lodge officials for that length of time. They had been denied the right to purchase supplies, cut off from official communications and denounced boardcast as expelled members of the Order of Knights of Pythias. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., Supreme Representatives Thomas M. Crump, E. R. Jefferson, M. D., and William M. Reid made the fight in the United States Court with the aid of able counsel, which has resulted so favorably to Vingina interests. The Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia was represented in the Supreme Court by Messrs. Smith and Gordon, J. F. Minor, Esq. of that firm making the argument and by Messrs. Wilson Huldekoper and Lesh, of Washington; D. C. Hon. Clarence R. Wilson and Attorney Paul E. Lesh, making the argument. Hon. Henry E. Davis and Attorney James A. Cobb, of Washington made the argument for the Supreme Lodge. With them was associated Attorney McCard, of Baltimore, Md. COLORED PATRIOTS Offering Their Services to the Country for War. While the South Forbids Colored Women to Work for the Government. Charleston, S. C.—Although Colored men are offering their services to the government, to serve in the war—offering their lives for the country, Colored women, upon whom must fall the support of the home while their men are at the front fighting, are denied the right to work for the government at a government-controlled institution. The Colored people of this city are highly incensed over the recent actions of the officials in the clothing factory of the navy yard. An official announcement stated that henceforth white women would be the only employees in this institution, taking the places, of Colored women already employed. The Colored citizens have entered a vigorous protest, claiming as their right as American citizens in a national emergency, to offer their services from a sense of patriotic duty. The new building will need 600 workers. The white officials claim that to supply that number the races will have to mix, since there has been no set plan for segregation at the plant. The Colored people claim they can entirely furnish the 600. The official threaten to move the factory if the dissension continues. factory in the The Colored people are sending their women to get the admission tickets for serviles, and while the darker ones are refused, the fairer ones are getting the required tickets, because of the inability of the official to distinguish the fair Colored women from the white women. The. Colored community. is asking that 1,000 of their women repond, and since one out of three may be thrown out, they are counting on 600 being chosen for employment under the existing conditions. FARMERS SHOOT. DEER. Say They Are Obliged to Do So to Save Orchard and Crops. Barnegat, N. J.—Ocean county farmers are taking the law into their own hands and shooting deer out of season to save their crops from the ravages of herds of these animals. A committee headed by Eiza Parker and W. J. Dougan returned from a visit to the governor and said the state was powerless to protect the farmers or to suspend the law, which provides a penalty of $100 for each deer killed. The board of freeholders also was appealed to, but members said they had no authority to save the crops, although Director Otis of the board said he saw a herd of seven deer eating his crops. So desperate have the farmers become that they are now shooting the deer and using the meat. The game wardens have not made any arrests, and it is a question whether they could obtain any convictions if they did. FAREWELLS IN A BOTTLE. First Definite News of Loss of the Frederick in 1916. Baltimore.—A bottle containing nine messages of farewell, washed ashore at the Orkney Islands in February, tells briefly of the fate of the old Merchants and Miners' steamship Frederick, which left here in December, 1915, and the following month sailed from New York for Archangel, Russia. The messages were set adrift by the crew when the ship was sinking in midocean. One missive is from George Matthews, steward, who was supposed to have been a Baltimorean. The note is in lead pencil and reads: Friends or whom it may concern: We are snaking in midccean, and the captain has deserted us. There are ten left behind. Faithfully, the steward of the ship, George Matthews. Goodby. CLOSING EXERICSES. The Negro Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina. Greensboro, N. C.

CALMED WEST INDIAN ISLAND Haiti and Santo Domingo, Turbulent Neighbors, Brought to Reason, by "Soldiers of the Sea"—Big Work Done That Is Known Too Little Deserves Praise of Nation. By QUARTERMASTER SERGEANT C. B. PROCTOR, U. S. Marine Corps. Press dispatches of the present day activities of military men have a tendency to set them forth more as instruments of destruction than as reconstructors and efficient guardians of peace. The Photo by U. S. Marine Corps Publicity Bureau. MARINES IN ACTION IN SANTO DOMINGO. United States marines have been great factors in militating toward perpetual peace among the defenseless people of Haiti and Santo Domingo, who were worn out by years of internal strife. These advance agents of American civilization wanted peace so badly that they were willing to light for it. "The marines have literally taught the Haitians how to live decently," said the Right Rev. Charles Blayne Colmore, bishop of Porto Rico and Haiti, during a recent visit to the United States. "Before their coming sanitation save in the crudest and most unsatisfactory forms was unknown, fevers and epidemics, were as plentiful as revolutions, a press gang was in vogue and the country was the victim of continuous uprisings, engineered by political scoundrels, each of whom ravaged the customs money drawer as each in turn came into short lived power. "The entry of the United States marines ended this sorry story. With the wonderful facility and adaptability for which the marines are noted these advance agents of American civilization so changed Hajiil that after they had been there four months, when I made my annual visitation to the island I Photo by U. S. Marine Corps Publicity Bureau. MARINE CORPS FIELD ARTILLERY IN ACTION NEAR PORT AU PRINCE, HAITL --- hardly knew it to be the same spot. It had been improved beyond my wildest hopes. Sanitary systems had been installed, the towns had been cleaned up, former idlers and revolutionists were working happily for living wages, and a new spirit was animating the people. "I want the American people to realize what a big work is being done. It isn't a pleasant task to teach a people how to 'govern straight' and the marine officers and men realize this and yet go, at it with stout hearts and high courage. They laugh at the hardships of life. It is their duty, and their motto is 'Semper Fidels.'" POLICEWOMAN ON TRIAL. Gets Out Early With Her Dogs to Follow Fleeing Burglar. Hempstead, N. Y.—Mrs. Leo F. F. Wanner, Long Island's only policewoman, got up at 5 o'clock in the morning to chase burglaries with her trained German police dogs. She was called early by Robert Vandewater, chief of police, who put Mrs. Wanner on the force and gave her the right to carry a revolver and wear a star, because he wanted her to aid in catching the early morning burglaries. Motorcycle policemen had seen the burglaries who had been robbing homes of the rich in Hempstead, Westbury, Garden City and other villages and had a call sent to Mendowbrook Farms for Mrs. Wanner and her dogs. "The lady cop," as Mrs. Wanner is known here, followed the trail for three miles through stubble and thickets and brooks. Finally she loft it in the main street of Garden City. --- WOMEN CAN HELP WIN WAR IN THE KITCHEN Do Your Own Marketing and Put Family on a Ration Basis. New York.—Every woman can help win the war in her own kitchen, says Ida Vera Simonton of the Vigilantes, if she will read, remember and obey the following "twelve commandments:" Avoid waste and practice the strictest economy. Put your family on a ration basis. Do your own marketing. Select foods of nourishing and sustaining qualities. Serve as many of them raw as possible. Employ vegetable butter at 26 cents a pound instead of ordinary butter at 55 cents a pound. Employ peanut oil instead of lard or other shorteners. Use pulverized instead of ground coffee, brown sugar instead of white and cornmeal instead of wheat flour. Substitute rice, beans and fish for meat, and remember that green bananas baked in the skin are far more nutritious and easily digested than ripe ones. Cultivate every available inch of ground, window boxes included. Practice absolute cleanliness and help keep down plagues and pestilences. Boycott every dealer, who attempts to inflate prices. Number of Vegetables Still Can Be Planted—Late Potatoes Washington. — With the advance guard of the United States army under Major General Pershing ordered to the front in France, now is the time for the last big drive by the army of the soil that is aiming at a million food gardens this year, says Charles LathropPack, president National Emergency Food Garden Commission. The garden recruits should keep in mind that there are a number of vegetables that still can be planted, and those of you who have not started should do so now. Write to the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, 210 Maryland building, for the free garden primer and then get busy. Navy beans are one of the best late crops to plant on a light soil or on meadow or blue glass that is to be put under cultivation. Lima beans may be planted as late as June 15. Late potatoes may be planted up to July 1 if the seed bed is in good shape and the seed sound. Sweet potatoes can be grown with success on sandy land. Sweet corn of short season variety may be planted up to July 15 or even a little later. Late cabbage may be set as late as July 1. String beans may be planted as late as July 15. As late as July 11 cucumbers may be planted. Good tomato plants of the short season variety may be planted any time in June. Squashes and pumpkins may be planted in June among sweet or field corn or, if room, separately in hills about eight-tenths of a foot apart. Lettuce grows best if planted in early spring or fall. Late or winter radishes may be sown early in August. With proper watering, however, successive crops of good radishes may be grown throughout the summer. Table beets to be pickled, canned or stored for winter use may be planted in June. Let every garden soldier go to it for food f. o. b. the kitchen door, then write for the canning primer and get instruction on how to conserve the result of your efforts. WAR LESSONS FOR U. S. Chief One to Learn is to Place Competent Men in Leadership. Cinclanati.—War lessons the United States can learn of Great Britain were explained by William Hard, investigator and magazine writer, before the joint sessions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the National Machine Tool Builders' association in convention here recently. The chief lesson, Mr. Hard said, would be to invest seamen with the control of the navy. No civilian, he said, should be intrusted with so important a duty. Affairs of the army and navy in action should be given into the hands of "competent" army and navy men, Mr. Hard said.

TWO EXPEDITIONS FAILED. The Neptune, Commanded by Captain Bartlett, Will Start For Arctic In July—Bartlett Famous From His Connection With the Explorations of Peary and Stefansson. New York.—For the third time a relief ship is being fitted out to go for and bring back Donald MacMillan, the explorer who went to the arctic in 1913 to look for the new continent which Bear Admiral Peary thought he had discovered several years before and which he had named Crocker Land. MacMillan sent back word in 1915 that he had made a sledge trip of 130 miles across the ice in the direction of the supposed continent and had found no trace of land, and many scientists have since supposed that what Rear Admiral Peary saw was an extraordinarily vivid mirage. According to a message received from the Shetland Islands, the MacMillan party are safe, and Bartlett will go north to bring them back. The new expedition will be commanded by Captain Robert A. Bartlett, famous from his connection with the explorations of Peary and 'Stefansson, and will sail from St. John's, Newfoundland, in the first week of July. PETER H. The vessel obtained is the steam sealer Neptune, formerly known as the best vessel in the Newfoundland fishing fleet, but more recently carrying coal for the British government. The troubles of the MacMillan party began shortly after their departure in July, 1913, when their ship was wrecked off Barge Point, Labrador. The party and supplies were transferred to another vessel and reached Etah that fall. In the summer of 1915, after reports had been received of the activities of the party, Dr. Edmund Otis Hovey, chairman of the committee in charge of the expedition and curator of the department of geology in the American Museum of Natural History, started out with a relief party in the ship George B. Cluett. Dr. Hovey reached Etah and brought back all the party except Mr. MacMillan and two companions, who had gone on a hunting trip, despairing of any rescue party that year. The Cluett was caught in the ice herself that winter, although several of the members of the party got out by sledge. Meanwhile last spring the steamer Denmark, with a Danish complement, was chartered in Greenland when word of Dr. Hovey's plight was received, but she was last heard of on Aug. 20 of last year, fighting ice in Melville bay. The Cluett returned to Newfoundland last September, but Dr. Hovey and Elmer Ekblaw of her party, together with George B. Comer, the ice pilot, are presumably still in the neighborhood of Etah. Mr. MacMillan's remaining companions are Dr. Harrison J. Hunt and J. C. Small. TUTOR KEEPS HIS JOB. This Girl Need Not Attend Public School. Kansas City, Mo.-Miss Elva Diestelhorst, fourteen, several times in juvenile court because of the refusal of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Diestelhorst, to permit her to attend public school, need not go to public school. Judge Porterfield has decided to permit the retention of John Sterling, her twenty-two-year-old tutor. The tutor will continue to give Miss Diestelhorst lessons in arithmetic, geography, writing, spelling, Greek history, reading, hygiene and grammar. He must report his pupil's progress, however, to the juvenile court the first Friday of each month. Judge Porterfield ordered. Neither Miss Dieselhorst nor her mother nor her father appeared in court, but Sterling did. Judge Porte filled look him over, studied the curculum which he said constituted his young pupil's daily task and decided the arrangement might stand.

Areas Likely to Be Theaters of War Operations Designated and Recommendations Presented For Road Building-In Certain Contingencies May Fix Food Prices. Washington - Governors who sought advice from the Council of National Defense concerning their war activities at the national defense conference received their instructions in a detailed statement, which covered a hundred phases of the work necessary to get the country in shape for a successful war against Germany. The advice was in the form of answers to stated questions on industrial and military subjects. There ran through the document an apparent warning against hysteria in action which might hamper rather than accomplish the desired results. Here are some of the important points made: First.-The national council recommends that the state councils shall encourage economy and discourage extravagant living and the purchase of luxuries among the people of their respective states. Second.-In regard to the postponement of state or municipal works now under way and not of pressing importance the council, "generally speaking," advises that nothing now under way should be abandoned except under pressing necessity; nor should new projects be started not of pressing importance. Third.-The council has not made any suggestion for the postponement in any state of work on co-operative highway projects to such an extent that redistribution of public money will be necessary. Fourth.-The taking of a census by states of men for either military or industrial service, supplementary to federal registration—a step which has been contemplated in some other states—was discouraged. On this point the document says: "The council does not desire such a census for the present. It is not needed just now and when completed and ready for use would soon be obsolete owing to rapidly changing industrial conditions." Fifth.-The council may in certain contingencies fix either or both minimum and maximum food prices if authorized by law, but holds that until legislation is passed it is impossible to make a definite statement. In reply to advice in regard to the road building which would make the location and character of the highway better suited for military purposes, the council furnishes a copy of a letter from Secretary Baker to Secretary Houston giving in detail the areas likely to be the theater of war operations and presenting recommendations as to road building for military purposes. The areas in question are: (a) The area about Long Island, including most of the states of Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. (b) The area about Chesapeake bay, including much of the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Delaware. (c) The Pacific coast area, including California, Oregon and Washington. (d) The Mexican border, including the southern part of the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. (e) The great lakes area, including the states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota. COULDN'T SCARE SAILOR. Officer Told Threatening U Boat Captain to "Shoot Away." London.—Douglas Duff, the fourth officer and the only survivor of the steamer Thurcia, sunk by a German submarine on April 27, says in depositions that three hours after the ship was sunk the German submarine approached the capsized boat, the stern of which had been blown off, to which he was clinging, and asked him the usual questions regarding the destroyed steamer and her destination. It was 11 o'clock at night and very dark. The submarine commander first threatened to shoot Duff, says the fourth officer, who quotes himself as replying, "Shoot away." The commander then said, according to Duff, that he wouldn't waste powder on an Englishman and left Duff to his fate. He was picked up twelve hours later by a French fisherman. ARMY NEEDS GENERALS. Promotions Expected to Be Made Only Upon Merit Basis. Washington--The new national army will require about twenty-nine new major generals and more than 100 brigadier generals', according to officials of the war department. There will be a total of thirty-six divisions, each of which will have one major general and four brigadier generals. The army act empowers the president to appoint general officers at his discretion. The belief prevails that the president and secretary of war both are determined/only upon merit and special fitness. This policy would conclude exactly with those of France and England, which are advancing younger men to the higher commands. DR. TANNER WELCOMED. . Rev. C. M.
