NO. 17 First FIRST COLORED CORRESPOND Two Notable Additions to the Big Achievements to Credit of Recent Conference of Colored Editors at Washington. Ralph W. Tyler, Associate Editor of The Bee, Named to Report Military Happenings on Western Front in France—United States to Loan $5,000,000 to Aid Republic of Liberia. Two notable additions have been made within the past few days to the list of big achievements that may be justly credited to the influence of colored editors and leaders in this city. One of the direct requests of the Editors' Conference in June was that a reliable colored news writer be sent to France to report the doings of the colored troops on the western front in France, for the information of the anxious millions of colored Americans in this country, and to the end that the correct story of the valor and patriotic devotion of their brethren might be told fully and in a sympathetic vein by one of their own blood and kindred. In compliance with this request the Committee on Public Information has designated Ralph W. Tyler, of Columbus, Ohio, former Auditor for the Navy Department in this city and associate editor of the Bee, a regularly commissioned war correspondent, to specialize on the conditions surrounding the colored troops in France, and to make daily reports of the activities and engagements in which colored soldiers are prominent. He will be on the staff of General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. Every facility has been provided by Mr. George Creel, director of the Committee on Public Information, for the prompt and accurate gathering of all facts that may be of interest to the colored people. First Colored Man to Be Named as a War Correspondent. Mr. Tyler is the first colored man to be named as a regular war correspondent by any government in the world. He is a native of Ohio. For seventeen years he served in various departments on the Columbus Evening Dispatch and the Ohio State Journal, and for several years associate editor of the Washington Bee, which gave him experience in the technique of the newspaper craft and afforded him opportunity for association with many influential newspaper men. This intimate contact with such forces will be invaluable to him in his labors as a war correspondent. The fact that he has a wide acquaintance with correspondents now at the front will make it possible for him to get news concerning colored troops which, perhaps, no other colored correspondent could secure. The claims of a number of men were fully considered in connection with this important assignment, but Mr. Tyler was finally selected as the most efficient of those available. Immediately after war was declared by the United States on Germany Mr. Tyler wrote the President, tendering his services in any capacity. He has three sons, all of whom are at the front in France. $5,000,000 Loan to Liberian Republic. The second of this series of editorial conference achievements is the authorization by the government of a loan of $5,000,000 to the Republic of Liberia, in line with the request of the conference. This fund is allotted to aid in the rehabilitation of that country's public finances, which have been reduced to a dangerously low ebb by the cessation of trade, and to develop production of rice and other foodstuffs for the allies, as well as to place on the market many of the greatly needed products with which the little overseas' republic abounts. Much of Liberia's commerce was with Germany, and this has been totally cut off since the former's declaration of war against the Teutons. The granting of this $5,000,000 credit through the United States Treasury had its inception several months ago, when Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian Consul General, made application on behalf of his government for same, and was helped forward quite perceptibly by a meeting at the White House later, when a committee laid before the President the peculiar needs of Liberia, and made plain the faithfulness of her people to the cause of the allies, emphasizing the fact that Liberia is the natural ward of this powerful government and that its welfare must be safeguarded by America in her hour of peril. ARMSTRONG MAUNAL TRAINING SCHOOL TO PREPARE FOR WAR WORK. Instruction in preparatory war work will be one of the new points in the curriculum to be followed this year at Armstrong Technical High School by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the new principal of the school. Courses will be given in radio, applied electricity, automobile mechanics, etc. Boys under 18 who become subject to the draft will be encouraged to take such courses as will better equip them for military service. Edgar P. Westmoreland, instructor in woodwork, and Lee R. Fears, instructor in automobile mechanics, are among the new teachers added to the faculty to speed up this fundamental branch of the school's activities. A WORTHY MAN. Rev. W. S. Jackson is one of the most progressive and intellectual ministers in the M. E. Connection. He is the only success that has ever been at the head of his present church. He is enlisted. READ.

Church, D Street, between 2nd and 3rd Streets, have made complete arrangements with the H. M. Perry Company of the Ebenezer M. E. Church, of, the southeast section, for the rendition of that most powerful religious drama Biblically known as "Queen Esther," on Friday night, September 27th, 1918. The above enterprise, which bids fair to be one of the most interesting of its kind given at that church, is being managed by Mr. J. S. Jones, vice president of the board of trustees of the church, and leader of one of the groups, being for the benefit of the $3,000 rally which is in progress at that church. This rally is being given for the purpose of installing a much needed heating plant and to pay a substantial sum, on the bonds of the church. THE WASHINGTON DISTRICT CONFERENCE. The Washington District Conference of the Washington Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church held its 26th annual session in the St. Luke's M. E. Church, St. Inigoes, St. Mary's County, Md., September 5th to 8th, inclusive. Rev. C. A. Randall, pastor, and Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas, district superintendent, presiding. The Conference was called to order by the president, Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas, Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. The devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. R. F. Coates, the beloved and popular pastor of the Woodville charge, followed by the holy communion, administered by the district superintendent, assisted by all the pastors present by turns, and in exhorting the communicants with encouraging words. The service was soul stirring and uplifting, especially so at the close, when the large entertaining committee, all dressed in white, filed into the church to the altar, which made a great impression that will long be remembered. The religious charge delivered by the district superintendent in closing the service was uplifting and soul stirring to all present, because the speaker evidenced that he had recently left the mount in communion with God for guidance over the great district conference now in its beginning. The conference was organized with Mrs. Susie Addelle acting temporary in the absence of Rev. Dr. M. W. Clair, the Conference secretary, who was called to the city to conduct a funeral of a prominent member. Dr. Clair was unanimously elected secretary, and Rev. R. F. Coates as his assistant. The chair then appointed the following pastors to be reporters to the following papers: Rev. R. A. Hart, the Southwestern Christian Advocate; Grant Contee, the Commonwealth, and W. S. Jackson, the Washington Bee. The Conference, by the approval of the president, elected Rev. Dr. D. D. Turpeau, pastor of Mount Zion M. E. Church, Washington, D. C., statistician, to edit a district conference journal, assisted by the able and popular secretary, Dr. M. W. Clair, and the progressive district superintendent. Mrs. Sadie Brown Jenkins was elected conference organist, and Rev. R. A. Hart, conference chorister. Committee on finance, the Revs. L. A. Carter, W. S. Jackson and Bro. Stephen Queenan. Special committees were appointed to receive the reports from every department of our local church, and was dispatched systematically by the efficient committees, saving much time and avoiding unnecessary confusion. The district superintendent made his annual report, which was interrupted by and concluded with hearty applause, followed by a presentation of a vacation purse from the conference by the gifted speaker, the Rev. Dr. B. T. Perkins, pastor of Rockville charge; Rev. R. F. Coates, president; Rev. L. A. Carter, treasurer; W. S. Jackson, secretary of the committee. The amount of the purse was supplemented by an appeal by Dr. E. S. Williams by $7, making the total $30, the latter being presented by W. S. Jackson. The two great important features were the securing of 400 subscribers for the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and $725 cash for the New and Greater Morgan College. The Centenary Movement was ably presented by Dr. M. W. Clair and Dr. D. D. Turpeau, making the conference animatingly wild with enthusiasm by their mastery of the subject and closing appeals. The learned philosophic, Dr. Pickens, vice president of Morgan College, more than filled the place of President J. O. Spencer, who was detained at home, being indisposed, and whose inspiring presence always cheers us because of what he has done for Morgan College and the race, but the old flag did not touch the ground in the hands of Dr. Pickens by his address and stirring appeal for Morgan College. Rev. Dr. R. K. Brown of the North Carolina Conference ably represented the Southwestern Christian Advocate, assisted by our local representative, Rev. L. A. Carter. Dr. E. S. Williams thrilled the conference with a song service, and acted as master of ceremonies Friday evening at the Musical and Literary District Conference Concert, which was a grand affair, and although the night was stormy the door receipts were $16.50. The pastor's reception was the best ever given on the district, and served up to date by the W. H. M. Society. Brothers Grant, Contee and Nathaniel Minor were recommended to the next annual conference for admission on trial. The District Conference will meet next year at the Linden M. E. Church, Rev. R. A. Hart, pastor. Revs. R. F. Coates, L. A. Carter and Miss Mary Johnson, secretary of the committee on resolutions, performed their duties with credit and appropriate words of thanks to all for aiding in making this one of the greatest district conferences.

RACE CONGRESS. Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress, addressed the Supreme Grand Lodge of the Order of Moses, led by Mr. Jos. A. Munnerlyn, Tuesday, September 17, in the interest of the Congress. They at once indorsed the Congress and raised $11 to represent, which entitles them to five delegates. They urged upon each local chamber to send representatives. There will be a large delegation of Moses in the Congress each day. Reports came in this week from the Woman's Convention in Alabama, the Masonic Lodge of North Carolina and Mississippi. President Jernagin is urging upon all of the grand and local lodges of the various societies in the District of Columbia that are opposed to lynching and mob violence to represent in the Congress, which will be the greatest racial meeting ever held in this city. Female organizations are also invited to send representatives. LABOR DAY CELEBRATION AND STREET PARADE HELD The parade was led by Garnet Cadets and the Boy Scouts, under command of Capt. H. C. Coleman, Sergt. J. B. Parker and Scoutmaster Brooks and Drum Master Willie Pratt, assisted by S. G. Brown. The principal speech was made by Dr. S. P. W. Drew, his subject being "Shall Fifteen Million Colored Citizens Conduct Business Enterprises?" Dr. George W. Thomas spoke on "Druggists." Major Brooks made a very short address. The parade started at 3 p. m. from Garnet School, parading the principal streets, and ended up at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church. BISHOP CLEMENT TO GO TO ARRICA. Bishop George C. Clement, acknowledged to be one of the biestian and most progressive leaders of the A. M. E. Zion Church, and forwardlooking in all of the civic affairs of the race, was in the city last week the guest of Mrs. J. W. Smith, widow of the late Bishop Smith, 1309 R Street N. W.

A NATION'S STRENGTH IS IN ITS FOOD SUPPLY Eat Less — Waste nothing Create a Reserve AMERICA MUST FEED 120, 000, 000 ALLIES dent DOING GREAT WORK DR. SHEPARD'S GREAT WORK. The Great Educator to Visit the North and West—His Work at Durham—What National Training School Stands For. (Special to The Bee, by N. Barnett Dodson. Durham, N. C. Sept. 14—As the time approaches for the opening of the National Training School in this city on Tuesday, October 1st, preparations for the accommodation of the student body are being completed. Notwithstanding the large number of young men, many of them former students who have already responded to the Nation's call and others who must do likewise, the school will receive its full quota of students. The courses of study are attractive and have been arranged to meet the needs of young men and women and boys and girls of the middle teen ages who desire special training for special work. There is a big demand for social service, Y. M. C. A and Y. W. C. A., workers in all parts of the country and abroad; and, in fact, wherever our flag floats to the breeze this class of well prepared workers is needed. The National Training School is splendidly equipped to give instruction in all branches of social and religious work, having provided for the coming school year a special department for that purpose. President James E. Shepard foresaw long before America entered the war that our entrance into the great world conflict would create the biggest labor and social problem with which we ever had to deal. Like a true patriot, race leader and educator, Dr. Shepard took time by the forelock and arranged the curriculum of the school so as to give instructions to all classes of workers. As a climax to this program for the advancement of the school this fall and winter, Dr. Shepard left here Friday for Cincinnati, at which place he and Judge Pritchard of the board of trustees began a speaking tour in the interest of the National Training School that will last for about two weeks, and will include among other large cities, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Detroit. Students in the arts and sciences, theological, teacher training and academy should report a few days before the school opens. All students and applicants for the preparatory department must report for assignment on the opening day, Tuesday, October 1. DR. MOTON RECOGNIZED. Tuskegee, Ala., September 14. Tuskegee Institute opened its 38th annual session Tuesday, September 10th. More than 1,500 students have been granted admission this year, and the first day's enrollment was one of the largest in the history of the school. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal, announced today that the War Department, through the Committee on Education and Special Training, has asked the institute to continue the training of soldiers in contingents of 400 each. These soldiers are being trained in trades; their work does not interfere with the regular work of the students. Principal Moton also announced today that he had received word this week from the Committee on Education, and Special Training, Washington, D. C., that Tuskegee Institute has been selected as one of the institutions to conduct a Students' Army Training Camp. Inquiries and applications from all parts of the country are already coming in. With the training of the soldiers and the regular students, Tuskegee Institute will have fully 2,000 persons regularly under instruction here this fall. e ef 3 hy.

From a Term Undistributed. “Be it remembered that when we set out to view the different varieties of fallacies we classed them into three fundamental divisions, viz. first, Yhose due to ambiguity of a term; second, those due-to a term undis- tributed; third, those due to improper premises. We have concluded the consideration of Genus III, and now let us take up and conclude Genus II, Some day we will take up Genus I. The reason why I put the last first and the first fast is because of the relative practical value of .the three classes and the popular intef- est in them. In the two last classes are included the so-called: logical and semi-logical fallacies, which are’ the more abstruse. ’ ; The fallacy from a term undistrib- uted (Genus II) includes two species, viz: (1) Fallacy from an ‘undis- tributed middle term, and: (2) Fallacy from an illicit process,-either (a) of the major term or (b) of the minor term. We have already seen that a term is the subject’ or predicate of a proposition or assertion; usually it is a word of the equivalent of a word. A term is “distributed” when it’ ex- "presses or implies the word -“all”. or “every” or “no” or “not any.” * . Undistributed. Middle. Rule 2. of the syllogism’ is; that a middle term must bé distributed in one of the premises, or once at least. If a mid: dle term is not distributed, it i: equivocal, or ambiguous, and pfove: ‘nothing.’ Example: - we Nuisances are punishable by law ‘to keep a noisy dog is a. nuisance: therefore, to keep 4 noisy, dog. is punishable by law. oe Here the middle termris “nuisance.” It does not sax or mean “all nuis- ances,” and the-real question turns on the degree ‘or kind of nuisance that the law would interfere td pre- vent. 23 . . IWicit Process of the Minor Term. Every, scholar is fearned; every learned man, is a mathematician; therefore, every mathematician is a scholar. ’ Here ‘tle ‘minor . term. is “mathematician”; it is distributed. in the conclusion, but not in the minor Premise, ‘This isa violation of Rule 4 of the syllogism, which is, that no term must be distributed in the con- clusion that was not. distributed . in one of. the premises; also a violation of a special rule;.that.if the minor premise be affirmation, the conclu- sion must’be particular. It is about as if we should argue: All X is Y; all Y is.some Z; therefore, all Z is all’ X. We cannot deduce “all Z” from “some Z." .° . It ‘will be observed that the illus- aration given above. of a fallacy of the illicit’ process of the minor terni consists of three universal proposi- tions, and that the middle. term “learned” is the predicate of the major premise and thé’ subject of minor premise. Such a syllogism is always invalid: Wherever there are three universal propgsitions in a valid. syllogism, the middle term is the sub- ject of the major’ premise and predi- cate of the minor premise: It may be of interest to note here that there are four so-called Figures of the Syllogism, which figures. de- -pend on that position which ‘the mid- di¢. term assumes with’ reference to the extremes (major and minor terms) in the conclusion. _ Thus: First Figure, middlé term subject ‘of major and predicate of minor pre- mise;’ Second Figure, middle term prédicate: of both premises;: Third Figure. middle term, supject’ of both premises; Fourth Figure, . middle term predicate of major and subject of minor. premise. The position is the reverse in the first’ and fourth, and again in’ the second and third figures. a - ITEMS ON THE WING, .

There are so many so-called hairgrowers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the robs of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th St., New York City Quinade and Quinasoap are sold at all of the People's Drug Stores. PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES. Store No. 1, 7th and K Sts. N. W.

The Bee on Public Information, under Mr. Instant, Mr. Carl Byoir, have displayed the front over in France all the soldiers in France, and they have done the securing of news relative to the not only helps the morale of those heale of the boys at the front. It is my interest Mr. Creel and Mr. Byoir his news about colored troops, and the one the securing of news possible. That Government displayed as much military of War Baker and the Commute would be little or no cause for one member of the race. The Bee feels it should express its appreciation of the Creel and Mr. Byoir. At last the bottom has been knocked out of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America. Just who is right and who is wrong time alone must decide. Will it be possible for the courts to decide? It must be admitted that Ben Davis, the great head of the Atlanta (Ga.) Odd Fellows, is entitled to grave consideration. He is one man that has done more for the organization than any ten men in the organization, and has received less credit and consideration. The opposition to Mr. Davis dates back several years. Today The Bee sees W. L. Houston, exgrand master, siding with the faction he endeavored to dethrone, and opposing the man who gave him power at one time. No argument was strong enough to convince Mr. Houston at the time he opposed and attempted to dethrone Mr. Davis that he was wrong. Mr. Houston came to this conclusion after his defeat by the man that he is now opposing. Is this the only shelter that he could secure? He has been made the representative of this faction to England. What does it mean? The one great order has fallen. What will be the final result? Its usefulness has been crippled, and today the many thousands in this order are standing upon a precipice. Will either faction be able to unite this great order? There is only one solution, and that is for both grand masters to resign and the case submitted to arbitration and its decision be final, whatever it may be. There is no GRAND UNITED Order of Odd Fellows in America. COMMENDABLE INTEREST. The Committee on Public Information, under Mr. George Creel and his able assistant, Mr. Carl Byoir, have displayed a keen interest in securing from the front over in France all the news available about the colored soldiers in France, and they have done this because they realize that the securing of news relative to the deeds of our colored soldiers not only helps the morale of those here at home, but improves the morale of the boys at the front. It is most encouraging to learn of the interest Mr. Creel and Mr. Byoir have displayed in the securing of news about colored troops, and the efforts they have put forth to make the securing of news possible. If every department of this great Government displayed as much interest in the race as has Secretary of War Baker and the Committee on Public Information, there would be little or no cause for complaint on the part of any member of the race. The Bee feels it is but right and proper that it should express its appreciation of the helpful interest displayed by Mr. Creel and Mr. Byoir. OUR LEADERSHIP.

Colored American leadership is erected upon a weak foundation. Our political leadership is as weak and as worthless as duck feathers in stopping a running stream. The white man knows the weakness of the colored brother and he never fails to play upon that weakness. The white man selects the colored leader, whether he is acceptable to the masses or not. He is not consulted as to the character of our leadership, whether he is capable of leading or not. He wants the man that he can lead and who will obey the demands that he promulgates. An officeholder cannot lead. He is incapable of leading and he knows it. Colored leadership caters to the wishes of the white man, the colored press to some extent not excepted. The colored race; before it is capable of demanding the rights of the masses, must be able to dictate terms, and there is only one way to dictate terms. He must not be an officeholder or anticipate an office. Conditions in this country are deplorable. What is the remedy? That is the question. WHY REJECT US? was injustice practiced upon the comies of the Administration. Just appointed in the departments after Civil Service Commission is some Certainly the President is not allies are so unjustly treated by titration. behalf of fourteen million colored dent to instruct his Cabinet officers If there ever was injustice practiced upon the colored people, it is now by the enemies of the Administration. Just why young colored girls are not appointed in the departments after they have been certified by the Civil Service Commission is something The Bee can't understand. Certainly the President is not aware that his faithful colored allies are so unjustly treated by the subordinates under his administration. The Bee, in behalf of fourteen million colored Americans, appeals to the President to instruct his Cabinet officers to issue orders to their subordinate chiefs to appoint young colored girls after they have been certified by the Civil Service Commission. Mr. President, we are loyal and faithful, and in the name of God see that the subordinates in the several departments of the Government appoint qualified young colored girls after they have been certified to the several departments. Appeals, Mr. President, are made daily for help of all kinds. There are thousands of young colored men and women waiting for an opportunity to serve the Government. Hundreds have passed the examination and yet they are refused. Why this injustice? What has the colored race done, except to be loyal and patriotic citizens? Mr. President, this appeal is made to you. Colored citizens are "jim-crowed" going South. And why? Will you not have these barriers lifted? Let the black man feel that you mean all that you have said in his interest. You have complimented his loyalty and commuted the sentence of death to life imprisonment upon colored soldiers. Let us feel, Mr. President, that the patriotism of the black man is entitled to more than what he is receiving. Mr. McAdoo, your able Secretary of the Treasury, stated a few days ago if passengers on the railroads are not justly and fairly treated to report the matter to him. We have appealed to him. Mr. President, to eliminate the "jim-crow" cars, but it has not been done. Why should we be thus humiliated? We have the patience of Job. Listen to our appeal. OUR WAR CORRESPONDENT. Ralph W.

Tyler, formerly Auditor for the Navy Department, and a citizen of Columbus, Ohio, the inaugurator of the great National Soldiers' Comfort Committee, has been made war correspondent by General Pershing. Mr. Tyler at the time of his appointment was the associate editor of The Bee. A more brilliant writer does not exist in the country. He is the greatest colored newspaper correspondent of the United States. Mr. Tyler has made a greater sacrifice than any other man in this country, white or colored. Aside from going to the front, he has three sons enlisted in the Service who are today on the battlefield of France. It requires a brave man to face the shells of the Huns and be on the firing line. This is the first newspaper representative the colored race has ever had, and The Bee is to be congratulated because he is its representative in the greatest war of the age. Mr. Tyler will do his duty and his reports from the battle front will be accurate and brilliant. This appointment may be a surprise to the country, but not to The Bee. It has been expected for several weeks, and at last it has come. The Bee has always said that Ralph W. Tyler at the time he represented this Government in the Navy Department under the Roosevelt-and Taft administrations was one man who was the master of his office. He was no trimmer, no apologist, and neither did he cater to the whims of politicians to retain his office. His efforts were to serve his people, and he did serve them, for which he received but little credit or consideration. As a newspaper writer, Mr. Tyler will fill the bill. As a correspondent, he has no equals, white or black. His services on The Bee were highly appreciated, and when, this great war is concluded he will be mentioned among the greatest journalists of the age and the colored American race will honor him.

Scott since he has occupied the position of Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, if they are just, must acknowledge that he has measured up to the position in every way. Mr. Scott has not accomplished all he would have liked to have accomplished, and he may not accomplish all he hopes to achieve, but that he has achieved far beyond the hope of all is an undisputed fact. Any man who is loyal to friends usually succeeds. Mr. Scott is loyal to his friends. He does not, however, make loyalty to friends his first consideration, and he does not make friendship to him the price of his efforts put forth. The first consideration with him—at least, it has been so for the period we have known him—is the interest of his race. If aiding a friend militates against aiding the race, the friend must nurse his ambitions, and he is not a true friend if he will not. In striving to help the many—in taking up every case where it has been claimed injustice has been done—Emmett Scott has not stopped to ask the question, "Is the suppliant for justice a friend of mine?" It matters not to him whether the suppliant for justice— STUDENTS' ARMY TRAINING CORPS AT VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY, RICHMOND, VA. School opens September 30th.

Because he is sincere, broad-minded and sympathetic; aggressive without being bombastic, is why Emmett J.

Government has authorized Hampton Institute to organize units of the Students' Army Training Corps. New students arrive September 24th. Work begins October 1st. The Government will give each member of the Students' Army Training Corps: Board, clothing, free tuition, and one dollar per day. JAMES E. GREGG. Principal. HER GUESTS.

Miss “Clarissa Scott, daughter of Mr.’ Emmett J.

She had a most enjoyable time. She returned this week., < too, Don’t forget. the great’ Race Con- ference, October 1, 2 and.3. 7 I met my old and ancient friend, Judge John A. Moss, a few days ago in the halls of the Police Court. Judge Moss is the father of several sons who are within the draft age, but who are exempted on account of dependents. John A. Moss, Jr., who was recently married, will have to shoulder the musket, notwithstanding his marriage obligations. Harry Tignore has offered his new Ford for sale. He is within the age limit. Dr. Sumner Wormley just did escape. He was 46 one day before registration day. He had been suffering with heart ailment just before that time, but now it is normal. Judge Terrell and Dr. Sum Wormley were at Howard Saturday night discussing their narrow escape. The latter has increased in weight and his blood now circulates freely. Exalted Ruler E. G. Bundy will command a local br-gade, no doubt. He has been waiting for this opportunity for some time. The strangest thing is how the ages of the bachelors took a rise with the thermometer. I never heard of so many appeals from "hubbies" to their wives in all my life. The wives say it is their time to get even now. The most nervous set of individuals were Bros. Harlan and Gardner. They were discussing the age limit a few evenings ago, while imbibing a bottle of near-beer, while seated in Gardner's emporium. Bob is some nervous. He doesn't mind going, but it pains him to leave behind him his wife and baby and other admiring friends. Bob knows that there is no happiness in French trenches, away from all that is near and dear to him. "It is hard to-thing of it," remarked the retired merchant, who is thinking strongly of joining the ambulance brigade. There may be more safety in it, but I find it very dangerous—more so than facing the bullets upon the battlefield. Bob used to boast of his bravery, but his advanced age has caused him to change his mind. Nev Thomas, Jim Waters, the penpusher, and all other pen-pushers in the time of peace, will realize what it is to urge others to go to the front in the hour of conflict. Bachelors Moses Dade and Aaron Gaskins both claim exemption on the ground that the operation of their business is a necessity. Soldiers must eat. They claim to know how to save food in time of war, and that their palace buffets must remain intact as a war necessity. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has become inactive since the promulgation of the last draft edict. Royal Hughes now wears a smile that won't come off. He was 46 in August. Ben Gaskins laments, but he is brave enough to shoulder a musket and march on the Huns. He is the only one of the bachelor brigade that is willing to go when his country calls. He has no excuse to offer General Crowder. "I am ready," he remarked to a comrade a few days ago. Ben is anxious to remain to manage the next campaign for Hagan. Politics is a fascinating pastime for him now. My bachelor friend, Jack Collins, doesn't ever say his prayers now. Jack says hard labor would be injurious to his system. General Crowder says no "guilty man is to escape." That being a fact, Grand Exalted Ruler Armand W. Scott will send in his resignation to the Elks. Bachelor Charlie Hill, who escaped matrimonial alliance several years ago, is now counting it the greatest blunder of his life. "Oh, if I only had seen this day fifteen years ago," remarked the Chesterfieldian disciple of Blackstone. Too late! Oh, how many thousand bachelors seem to lament now! There would be some chance of redemption, at any rate. Now none will escape on account of being short. There will be something for shorties to do, if nothing else than to be placed in Finley Wilson's class as water carrier. Finley says that his Eagle is an absolute necessity, and to remove him from 907 You St. N. W., would relieve the community of a long-felt want. Of course, the War Board will have to decide this. The community has had about fifty long-felt wants from the day the National Era made its appearance under the late Fred Douglass. The people thought so much of that paper they allowed it to breathe its last—never to resume again. Now, speaking about Finley; he is a jolly good fellow, and if he saw the truth coming his way he would imagine it was in opposition to his Ananias Association, of which Hagan is Past Master General. Finley will never carry water if you will give him one minute's conference with General Crowder. He would soon convince him FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY PORO PORO SYSTEM ST. CLEMENS, MID. "PORO" COLLEGE COMPANY St. Loris, Mo. that The Eagle was a Baptist necessity. Every Sunday morning he extolls the varieties of his publication only to the Baptist churches that surely believe in baptism. There is no pool in the city in which The Eagle has not been submerged. General Crowder knows that is a fact, but there will be one mistake Finley has made, and that is, he has failed to be baptized himself. Bro. Norman has often persuaded Finley to come to his collection rallies, and all he got out of him was, "You know, Dr. Norman, whenever I am in your church I always put five cents in the basket." Dr. Norman is a great preacher, you know, but Finley's small contribution to the Baptists in comparison to what the Baptists have given him will prevent Dr. Norman and the Baptist Ministers' Conference from going to General Crowder to prove that The Eagle is a long-felt want. Finley must carry water by serving his country in a patriotic capacity. The next sensation of a national character will be the coming announcement of a colored war correspondent, an attache of The Bee. It will be seen that the colored Americans will be represented in every branch of this great war. It requires some nerve, you know, to be war correspondent. You must be right on the firing line. The Bee has always been on the firing line in some capacity or another. The Bee has always been in the thickest of every national contest. It is evident that we have writers who are the equals of others, only they want an opportunity. Talking about Liberty Bonds, there are two men in this country who are never at ease unless they are talking about Liberty Bonds. It has been announced that Judge Robert H. Terrell and Attorney Thomas L. Jones have been placed on the committee to urge the people to purchase the next Liberty Loan Bonds. No better men could rave been selected. Both are high-class orators and are possessed with the happy faculty of convincing people of their duty. There are some grave questions that should be taken up by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and just why this association is so derelict in its duty the Sage is unable to say. Three colored watchmen have been appointed in the Department of Labor after William Calvin called the attention of the world to the discriminating advertisement for watchmen that appeared in the daily press. I was confident that the Secretary would not tolerate this wholesale discrimination. I can't understand why colored men who are anxious to help the Government to win the war should be ignored. It is the most loyal race in the world. The three hundred men from this city who first entered Howard University Radio School surprised all the Harvard and Yale graduates and other high-class institutions. These men could send out from fifteen to twenty words a minute. One hundred and fifty were sent to Camp Dix and one hundred and fifteen to Camp Vale, New Jersey. Our home boys demonstrated their superior ability over all others. Give the colored boys a show and they will soon convince you that they are equal to the occasion. Two wings of Odd Fellows met in New York and held their respective B. M. C. Both factions have declared themselves the bona fide representatives of this great and declining organization. The Ben Davis faction, with W. L. Houston as the representative to England, recommended the suspension of the Odd Fellows' Journal. Of course, the Morris faction will not stand for that. With a divided treasury, how will the funds be distributed? A house divided against itself is bound to fall. THE KAISER TELEPHONES TO THE DEVIL. The Kaiser called the Devil up on the telephone one day. The girl at Central listened to all they had to say. "Hello!" she heard the Kaiser say, "Is Old Man Satin home? Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill That wants him on the phone." The Devil said "Hello" to Bill, And said, "How are you?" "I am running a Hell here on earth; Now tell me what to do." "What can I do?" the Devil said, "Why, dear old Kaiser Bill, If there is a thing that I can do To help you, sure I will." The Kaiser said; "Now, listen, And I will try to tell The way that I am running On earth a modern Hell. I've saved for this for many years, And I've started out to kill, That it will be a modern job You leave to Kaiser Bill. My army went through Belgium, Shooting women and children down, We tore up all her country And blew up every town. My Zepps dropped bombs on cities, Killing both old and young, And those the Zeppelins didn't get Were taken out and hung. I started out for Paris With the aid of poisonous gas; And would not let us pass. My submarines are devils— Why, you should see them fight: They go sneaking through the sea And will sink a ship at sight. I was running things to suit me Till a year or so ago, Then a man called Woodrow Wilson Wrote me to go slow. He says to me, 'Dear William, We don't want to make you sore, So be sure to tell your U-boats To sink our boats no more. We have told you for the last time, So, dear Bill, it's up to you, And if you do not stop it, You'll have to fight us, too.' I did not listen to him, And he is coming after me With a million Yankee soldiers From their homes across the sea: Now, that's why I called you, Satin, For I want advice from you; I know that you will tell me Just what I ought to do." "My dear old Kaiser William, There is not much for me to tell, For the Yanks will make it hotter Than I ever could in Hell. I've been a mean old Devil, But not half so mean as you And the minute that you get here I will give the job to you. I'll be ready for your coming, And I'll keep the fires all bright, And I'll make your room all ready When the Yankees start to fight. For the boys in tan will get you, I have nothing more to tell, Hang up your phone and get your hat, And meet me here in Hell." THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA Barbarians Continue to Lynch Colored People—The President's Appeal Ignored. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People makes public the reply of Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia to two telegrams concerning specific cases of lynching in Georgia in which the Joseph I. Bailey and Co. Undertaker and Embalmer Formerly with J. H. Dabney 227 K STREET N. W. Phone Main 8273 Joseph Undertak Form 227 Cor Jose Chapel Service Fre association asked Governor Dorsey what it could "tell America concerning Georgia's cooperation with the President in helping to stamp out mob violence." The first telegram (August 21st) referred to a memorandum submitted to Governor Dorsey, in person, by the Assistant Secretary of the Association, July 10th, in which were given the names of seventeen members of the mob which lynched Negroes in Brooks and Lowndes counties from May 17th to May 22nd, at which time the Governor stated in the most positive terms that he would do all in his power to bring the guilty to justice. The second telegram (August 26th) urged Governor Dorsey to use every power at his command to apprehend the lynchers of Ike Radney, who was lynched near Colquit, Ga., on August 11th. Governor Dorsey's reply, addressed to John R. Shillady, secretary of the association, makes no reference to the case of Radney, and is given below. In a statement issued last night Mr. Shillady says that lynchings have occurred in Texas, Louisiana, and Georgia since the President's denunciation of lynching and mob violence was made, and in each case the association addressed inquiries to the Governors of the three States. No acknowledgments have been received from Texas and Louisiana, and despite diligent inquiries the association has been unable to ascertain that any steps at all have been taken to apprehend the lynchers. So far as the Governors of these three States are concerned, President Wilson's proclamation has had no effect and is apparently wholly disregarded. Governor Dorsey's letter to Mr. Shillady follows: Dear Sir: Referring to your telegram of August 21st and 22nd (26th), with reference to the recent lynchings in Brooks and Lowndes counties: So far as I am able to ascertain, no definite results have been obtained in the effort to apprehend the guilty parties. I shall take pleasure in advising you in the event any developments take place. Yours very truly, (Signed) Hugh M. Dorsey. Note.—Governor Dorsey's signature was affixed by rubber stamp. G. P. O.

YANKS BLOCKED DRIVE ON PARIS Advancing Foe Had Surprise of Life When He Found Americans in Line. GRAPHIC STORY IN LETTER Tells of Our Troops' Heroic Resistance in June—Held by Many Officers to Have Saved Paris From Huns. Washington.—A graphic eyewitness account of the fighting near Chateau-Thierry, in which American divisions, including the marine brigade, took part, early in June, was made public recently by the navy department. It is in the form of a long letter from an officer of the marines to Major General Barnett, commandant of the corps, and the story told is of peculiar significance, as in the opinion of many officers here. it was the stand of the Americans along this line which saved Paris. The name of the writer is not disclosed. The Americans were rushed to the line in motortrucks to support the hard-pressed French. On June 1 the marine brigade deployed in a support position, the battallion commanded by Mnj. Thomas Holcomb hurrying into the line as the men climbed out of the trucks. The Germans were coming on, and June 2 the French dropped back, passing through the American lines. "We had installed ourselves in a house in La Vole Chatel, a little village between Champillon and Lucy-leBocage," the letter says. "From one side we had observation of the north and northeast. They came out on a wonderfully clear day in two columns across a wheat field. We could see the two twin brown columns advancing in perfect order until two-thirds of the columns, we judged, were in sight. Foe Slowed Up By Shrapnel. "The rifle and machine gun fire was incessant and, overhead, shrapnel was bursting. Then the shrapnel came on the target at each shot. The white patches would roll away, and we could see that some of the columns were still there, slowed up, and it seemed perfect suicide for them to try. "Then, under that deadly fire and a barrage of rifle and machine-gun fire, the Boche stopped. It was too much for any men. "That men should fire deliberately, and use their sights and adjust their range," he says, "was beyond their experience. It must have had a telling effect on the morale of the Boche, for it was something they had not counted on. As a matter of fact, after pushing back the weakened French and then running up against a stone wall of defense, they were literally 'up in the air' and more than stopped: We found that out later from prisoners, for the Germans never knew we were in the front line when they made that attack. They were absolutely mystified at the manner in which the defense stiffened up, until they found that our troops were in line." The letter tells in detail of the days of fighting that followed. It describes a daylight charge against a machine gun host and of scouting raids up to June 6, when the whole brigade swung forward to straighten out the line. This action resulted in the capture of Belleau wood. Hit Three Times, Still Fought on. Major Sibley's battalion of the Sixth marine regiment led the way here, with Holcomb in support. The woods were alive with enemy machine guns. That night word came back that Robertson, with 20 men of the Ninety-sixth company, had taken Bouresches, breaking through a heavy machine gun barrage to enter the town. Robertson, fighting with an automatic in either hand, was hit three times before he would allow himself to be taken to the rear. Speaking of individual acts of bravery the writer says Duncan, a company commander, "before he was mowed down had his pipe in his mouth and was carrying a stick." Later he adds, "Dental Surgeon Osborne picked up Duncan and with a hospital corps man had just gained some shelter when a shell wiped all three out." Private Dunlavy, killed later, captured an enemy machine gun in Bourresches, which he turned on the foe with great effect, while at another point "Young Timmerman charged a machine gun at the point of the bayonet and sent in 17 prisoners at a clip." When the enemy made a stand at one point in the woods Sibley's battalion was withdrawn and for an hour and fifty minutes American and French batteries hammered the wood. Hughes, with the Tenth company, then went in, and his first message was that the wood had been cut to mincement. Overton, leading the Seventy-sixth company, finally charged the rock plateau, killing or capturing every gunner and capturing all the guns, with few casualties. The Eighty-second company lost all its officers, and Major Sibley and his adjutant, Lieutenant Ballamy, reorganized it under fire and charged a machine gun nest at the most critical time in all the fighting. "I wonder if ever an outfit," the letter said, "went up against a more desperate job, stuck to it gamely, without sleep, at times on short rations, with men and officers going off like files, and I wonder if in all our long list of gallant deeds there, ever were two better stunts than the work of Sibley and Holcomb." 'OLD GLORY" AT FRONT 'OLD GLORY" AT FRONT Illinois Men and Australians Follow American Flag. London.—When the Illinois troops and Australians attacked together at Valre wood and Hamel, a sergeant of the American contingent took into action a small American flag, the gift of his mother. The men under him surrounded and destroyed a machine-gun post hidden among, tree trunks just inside the wood. As they went on after bombing the German crew, the sergeant brandished the little flag over his head and shouted, "Come on, follows; there's another one." Just ahead some Australians were fighting around a shallow pit in which were five Prussians and a machine gun. Two or three Chicago boys dashed up with their bayonets poised. One of them literally fell on a big Rhinelander who was about to throw a bomb and sent him sprawling with a cracked skull, and, with the Australians, put the remainder of the crew out of action and cleared a dugout behind of 11 submissive fugitives. Still following the tiny Stars and Stripes, a little bigger than a pocket handkerchief, but, as one of the men said afterwards, "looking like a regular flag," the Americans, shoulder to shoulder with the Australians, passed through the eastern end of the wood and out into the open fields again. "The first time I have ever fought under the American flag, Yank," said a tall, raw-boned Queenslander with a first-aid bandage round his head. They arrived at their final objective, a group of strong, well-sheathed trenches linked with the rear defenses of Hamel village, and here the Chicago sergeant planted his emblem on a bit of wood and set it on the parapet. Bullets whistled all round it, cutting the silk into ragged strips and eventually it was wholly shot away save one unrecognizable fragment, which was preserved as a precious souvenir of an historic day. GUN CREW AT LUNCH CENTRAL SERVICE POST © Western Newspaper Union Merely a pause in the day's work when a Canadian gun crew snatches a bite to eat and gulps down hot soup before it resumes its appetite of sending a few more sizzling shells over to Fritz. The Huns' meals consist of a regular diet of shells, samples of which are seen in the foreground. Note the strings of foliage in the background which carefully camouflage the big gun. ANCIENT DEED IS RECORDED Placed on File in County Recorder's Office 100 Years After It Was Drawn. Lawrenceville, Ind.—A deed issued to Jesse M. Laird by the United States government in May, 1819, for 65 acres of land on Wilson creek, Dearborn county, has been placed on the books of the county recorder's office for the first time. The original tract of land consisted of 640 acres and was bought at $1.25 an acre by Mr. Laird and his wife. The 65 acres, with the home-stead, has not left the family and is now owned by Samuel M. Laird, his grandson. Jesse M. Laird and his wife are said to have been the first white settlers on Wilson creek. MINISTERS GO TO WAR ALL CHURCHES CLOSED Albany, N. Y.—With the enlistment of Rev.

GERMANS WERE TIPPED OFF Sergeant Sees Pigeons on Wing, Dreams of Days at Traps, Grabs Shotgun and Bags Five—Have Code Messages Attached. By MAXIMILIAN FOSTER. Paris.—There is a certain United States signal service sergeant up in the Toul sector at the front who has been able of late to combine a little pleasure with his business. The sensor won't let one tell the sergeant's name, but without revealing any military information it may be said that before the war the sergeant was rated as one of the top guns at well-known trap-shooting club in the States. There is not much trap-shooting just now in France. They are not cracking away at live birds, either. But the sergeant got his pigeon shooting just the same. The particular front in which the sergeant operates is infested with German spies. All sorts of things were happening. A "tramp" battery, one of those particular guns that whisks up, slams a few at the Fritzles, then slides out on the jump, found itself being shelled the instant it lined up for a shot. Again, every time there was a troop movement, the movement was anticipated by the Boche. Beside that, every time a body of our men got together for any purpose whatever, the Germans shelled them with everything they had, big guns included. Tipping Off the Hun. Now, the Hun doesn't use his big guns unless he knows what he's shooting at. How he learned, however, was pretty evident. Some one back of our lines was tipping him off. The signal service sergeant was the first to detect how it was done. His squad was repairing signal wires back of the trenches. The sergeant halted in his work and gazed skywards. A pigeon was going over his head. The sergeant watched it idly, calculating as he stood there how far he'd lead it with a 12-gauge. Then with a sigh he went to laying a wire again. A few minutes later the sergeant stopped again. Another pigeon had risen from the wood. But a few minutes later, when a third pigeon rose from the wood, the former trap-shooter tarried no longer. A half hour later he bolted into the quartermaster's department, clicked a salute and spoke hurriedly. "Gimme a shotgun," he demanded. Shotguns are a regular part of certain quartermaster's supplies. Soon the sergeant might have been seen standing behind a hedgerow gazing toward the nearby wood. Presently he was seen to stiffen, at the same time murmuring "pull." The 12-gauge swung briefly in an arc; a crack and a crumpled ball of feathers came tumbling toward earth. To make sure, the sergeant gave it a second barrel just before it hit the earth. Clever Shooting. It was pretty clever shooting. The bird was high, going over fast and quartering. "Kill," murmured the sergeant methodically, as he retrieved the fallen game. That afternoon the sergeant got four other birds. Attached to a leg of each pigeon was a code message in German handwriting. A short time later a detachment of military police got the owner of the pigeons. In his blouse and sabots he looked like any of the peasants tilling the fields behind the lines. On being stripped, however, he proved to be a German under officer. Since his capture the nightly bombardment of the "Y" huts and other places where soldiers congregate has been more or less haphazard. The Fritzles still chuck heavy stuff at them, but thanks to the ex-pigeon shot, the sergeant, they are not scoring as frequently as formerly. "It's bum cards they're bringing in," says the sergeant.
