Call and inspect for yourselves at THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF BROOKLYN Bishop Brooks is treasurer of the General Conference of Christ Church. He is Bishop over the Third Episcopal District. The Bishop makes a brilliant report of the financial condition of the General Conference. He is a man of great business and executive ability. Isaiah P. Brooks represents in his ancestry, birth and culture, the best elements of the race in the proud commonwealth of Virginia, and the best opportunities for development that could be afforded. His parentage stood for morality and genuine piety, and for faithfulness in the stormy days of the nation. Young Brooks was born at Hanover, Virginia, in 1858, the son of Jänis and John Brooks, the founder and first pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist. Washington, D. C. Rev. Brooks received his early education in the public school. His school days were characterized by steadiness, studiousness and a gradual up-grade in achievement. Those who knew him could, easily have seen in him the prose of the poetry. "The boy is father to the son." Later on in life, after he felt that the minister was more than a shepherd in the common acceptance, of that word, and that he not only leads to where the food is, but he has largely to do with its preparation, and one ignorant of the whereabouts of the pasture cannot lead to it, and thus he spent four years in the Theological Department of the Howard University preparing himself. Rev. Brooks was ordained in Vermont Avenue Baptist Church; and afterward founded and pastored a Baptist Church at Lakeland, Mc, where he became a tremendous force and wielded an incalculable influence for the good in the community. Bishop J. J. Higgs (now Archbishop) of the Church of Christ met Rev. Brooks during his first year in Washington in 1916. Recognizing the importance of having one who was honest, and who displayed an executive ability in attention to details, in keeping track of finances and expenses, and in keeping the press busy and in directing the moral forces, he appointed Rev. Brooks as his treasurer. It is gratifying to Dr. Richardson is doing what he can to win the war. He is teaching women to operate all kinds of automobiles. BETHEL LITERARY. On last Wednesday evening a meeting was held at the Y. M. C. A., where-plans were outlined for a membership drive in Bethel Literary. The campaign is under the direction of state that Rev. Brooks was so successful in the administration of the large interests committed to his care that the archbishop confirmed him bishop over the Third Episcopal District. But in all the matter it must not be forgotten that Bishop Brooks is a churchman in high standing. The esteem in which he is held by the Conference of the Church of Christ, and of which he is treasurer, may be seen in these words of Archbishop J. J. Higgs: "He has made a good impression on every member of the conference, and upon all the church so far as his work is known. He is the right man for the field, and has made a great impression upon the minds and hearts of multitudes in the idle he was appointed to cultivate. I believe in him thoroughly, and trust him as a brother true, in every way to Christ and His cause. Bishop Brooks has traveled a great deal, and has accomplished much. However, from a financial point of view, the success of the work is wonderful. Bishop Brooks reports the total collection for last year was $18,920.12. CLOSE CONFERENCE. Church of Christ Conducts Confirmation Exercises. The General Conference of the Church of Christ closed last night with the confirmation of the Rev. S. A. Martin as bishop by his eminence, the Archbishop Joseph J. Higgs, assisted by Bishop Isaiah P. Brooks. The following were confirmed as elders: Rev. John H. Johnson, Rev. Charles Oatney, Rev. George Terry, Rev. Charles Vessel, Rev. George Moon and Rev. P. Shamley. Addresses were made by Rev. Russell, the Rev. Johnson, Mr. Chas. A. Marshall, the Rev. Charles Oatney and the Rev. S. P. Drew. F. R. Killingsworth, and will be formally launched on October 10th, ending with the opening meeting of the association October 22nd. Officers of the association have mapped out a program for the coming season, in which all intelligent Washington will be interested, and this drive contemplates arousing all live citizens to the importance to race and nation at this time of such a public forum. COLORED MASS MEETING HELD. President Petitioned for Colored Generals and Colonels Generals and Colonels. A patriotic rally was held yesterday in commemoration of the fifty-sixth anniversary of Emancipation at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, N between 9th and 10th. Streets N, W, under the auspices of the various colored organizations of the city. The organizations which were represented are as follows: The White Cross Free Employment Bureau of America, the National Evangelistic Ministers' Alliance of America, and Henderson Civil Rights, League of America. Dr. S. P. W. Drew, president of the alliance, bureau and league, presided. In part, he said: "The colored soldiers have proved their loyalty and bravery and deserve promotion as a signal recognition of their service. This war cannot be won without the Negro shedding his blood in defense of the country that gave him his birth. It will take 1,000,000 Negro soldiers, reinforced by 4,000,000 white soldiers to catch the Kaiser and end this inhuman war; therefore I feel that I voice the sentiment of every citizen of the United States and all, the allies, of the foreign countries who are now engaged for the world-wide democracy, that the President should promote by appointing or creating colored colonels and generals to lead the colored troops in the United States Army." At the conclusion of the address resolutions were adopted petitioning the President to appoint colored generals and colonels in the army. COLORED CITIZENS PLAN LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN. Colored residents of Washington are planning activities in the interest of the coming liberty loan campaign. At a patriotic rally held yesterday at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church the following committee was appointed to supervise the campaign: Dr. S. P. W. Drew, Dr. George W. Thomas, Rev. Dr. C. B. Jackson, Rev. S. P. S. Hackett, Rev. Dr. J. J. Johnson, Rev. Dr. Lewis Stevens, Rev. Dr. J. A. Jackson, Rev. Dr. J. A. Smith and Rev. Dr. R. D. Botts. Patriotic rallies will be held Saturday, October 12, and October 16. WANTS WOMEN TO WORK OR FIGHT. Pine Bluff, Ark., Sept. 21.—Alleging that Negro women are refusing to perform any labor and are living on allotments paid them through relatives, thereby causing a serious shortage of cotton pickers and farm labor, local business men and planters today began a movement to have the "work or fight" order applied to women.—Press Dispatch. Are there any white women who are living on the allotment of their husbands and doing no work? These Southern Crackers don't know what to do. Why not include colored babies? The colored women in this country are doing their share to win the war. They had to absolutely break into the Red Cross, and now the colored doctors are knocking at the door of discrimination. A few have broken through. There are thousands of colored women still knocking at the door of the Government Departments, and they are refused admission. Is it their fault that many of them are living on the allotments of their husbands. Great God! What next?—Editor. THE BLACK GALT. Mr. George W. Taylor, known as the "Black. Galt," will celebrate the first anniversary of the opening of the only jewelry store in the city operated by a colored citizen. Watch The Bee for particulars. A NATION'S STRENGTH IS IN ITS FOOD SUPPLY Eat Less — Waste nothing Create a Reserve AMERICA MUST FEED 120,000,000 ATTES ORGANIZES A UNIT MAJ. WASHINGTON'S LETTER. Hampton Institute Organizes a Unit of the Army Training Corps. Major Allen Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute, has sent the following letter to the institute's prospective and former students: "The War Department has authorized Hampton Institute to organize, units of the Student's Army Training Corps for students eighteen years. of age and over who pass the physical and educational qualifications. The Government will give each member of the corps board, clothing, free tuition and one dollar per day. "Those who accept the Government's offer 'will be inducted into the service,' says General Crowder, 'and permitted to continue their studies until such times as they may be sent to (1) noncommissioned officers' schools, (2) officers' training schools, (3) or vocational schools, (4) or sent to camp for general service' (see Official Bulletin; September 11, 1918). Attendance will be on the voluntary basis. Men in the corps will not be placed in deferred classes, and may at any time be called out or transferred to the noncommissioned schools, vocational schools, or officers' training camps. "The Committee on Education and Special Training of the War Department has made the following announcement: 'In the curriculum . . . the average number of hours each week will be: Subjects including practical and theoretical military instruction and physical training, 11 hours a week; allied subjects . . . 42 hours a week.' "According to the official school calendar, new students will arrive on September ; entrance examinations will be held on September 25; and old students will arrive on October 1. "Please write without delay and let Hampton know whether or not you plan to join the Students' Army Training Corps. Many men will probably wish to grasp this opportunity of securing first-class military and other educational training at the Government's expense. "Education is worth some sacrifice of high wages. The increasing number of Negro troops will bring to many the opportunity of becoming officers. Already many of our Hampton men are serving as officers in France. Education and patriotism go hand in hand." DEATH OF MISS EVANS. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. David H. Evans, Sr., and family, of this city, condole with them in the death of their daughter and sister, Miss Lucile Evans, which occurred at Lexington, Va. The deceased was a young lady of refured and intellectual attainments. She leaves one sister and three brothers—Mrs. Elaine Evans Keffey, of Hampton, Va.; Dr. Foraker A. Evans, Messrs. David H. Evans, Jr., and Orpheus Evans—to mourn her loss. "To live in hearts we leave behind Is not to die." COMMUNITY BUYING CLUB ACTIVITIES.

SAVORING SERMONS BY UNUS And he played on a harp of a thousand strings." The genius homo is sometimes called "the cooking animal." I think he could as appropriately be called the begging animal. What other animal is known to beg? I had a notion to accuse the Christion Church of the chief responsibility for the widely prevalent custom of begging, for the church sets a grand example. But that would be hardly fair; for all religions have their, machinery of solicitation, and in the name of every religion there are hordes of solicitors—some begging friars, some pariahs, some howling dervishes. And so I accuse no single religion of setting the example. But I sometimes wish that the parable of the widow's mite could be omitted from the Bible, because it is abused. Likewise the cant saying that "he who giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord." In modern times many lines of begging—outside of the church, but following the example of the church—have become respectable professions and have taken on an aspect of utmost dignity. The promotors assume the halo and cloak of religion, altruism, benevolence and charity. The schemes take on many guises of plausibility and respectability. This form of begging has been reduced to an exact science and a fine art. The police in most of our cities have driven the ragged beggar and fakir from the street corner. The respectable beggar plies his trade without interference. He harangues from rostrums, solicits in offices, circularizes through the mails, advertises in the papers. Where the street beggar gets a few dollars a day, the respectable beggar takes in hundreds. Robbery, thievery and professional begging are practically on a par; they are fundamentally immoral. Robbery puts an undue tax on the weak or unarmed. Thievery puts an undue tax on the unwary or unlucky. Beggary puts an undue tax on the sympathetic, otherwise called the "easy mark." Charity should not often be an adequate excuse for begging. Under a properly ordered social system the aged, sick, mained and otherwise incapable should be aided by public taxation. All capital and labor should bear its just share of the cost. But if there must be any systematic begging, it should be through the agency of the government, the state. The private beggar is more often a grafter pure and simple. The day must soon come in this country when the grafter must walk the plank. He is becoming the typical national curse. There are too many slick-tongued non-producers, who are "well fed, well clad, well houses parasites of the earth." We must not let grafting, of which begging is a leading type, become a national pest. The remedy lies in appropriate legislation, in the judicious exercise of police powers, and in the weariness of the individual giver. Root it out and we shall have destroyed a cankerous economic curse. Prof. G. A. Edwards, president of Kittrell College. Kittrell, N. C., was in the city this week, the guest of Prof. John E.

Springtex UNDERWEAR COMPANY, Makers ay New York, N. Y. 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 roots 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.

The Bee desires to emphasize its protest against the wholesale discrimination in the Government departments against colored applicants who have successfully passed the civil service examination: What does it mean? The Bee again asks. The colored Americans are loyal to this Government and they are doing everything in their power to aid the Administration in the successful prosecution of this war. What offense can be charged against colored Americans? The Bee asks again. The bars have been lifted so that a certain favored class can pass muster without an examination, while another class is compelled to enter examination and after passing successfully is rejected. What does it mean? A declaration has been reported to this office to the effect that no colored people will be appointed by this particular official. In response to the request made by The Bee last week, many persons have announced that they have been rejected by the departments. It is necessary that every colored person who has been rejected send in his or her name at once. There names will be presented to the proper heads at once. Advertisements are being published daily that the Government is in need of clerks and other employees for war work. Hundreds of colored Americans have applied and been rejected, and white ones cannot be obtained. Messenger boys have been advertised for and colored people have applied, only to be refused. Is the assistance of colored Americans needed? If so, they are willing and ready to respond to their country's call. If they are needed, and the Government is in need of help, why reject colored applicants? Show one black traitor in the ranks of colored Americans and The Bee will show you one million loyal colored Americans to one black traitor. The Bee appeals to the President of the United States to direct the heads of his departments to lift the bars of discrimination against the colored Americans. They are competent and loyal. Then why reject them? Every Southern railroad discriminates against the colored people without a' just cause. They are treated as cattle when riding South. They are directed to a box car with no conveniences. Does the colored American deserve such treatment? Mr. President, we are with you, and, in the name of God, see that we are given a fail deal. THE LAST OF OUR FRIENDS. When the Bureau of Engraving and Printing lost Mr. Joseph E. Ralph, it lost a true and devoted friend to the oppressed, regardless of color or condition. The employees of all classes have missed him since his retirement. The Bee is called upon to announce that the employees are about to lose their last and only friend in the person of Mr. F. E. Ferguson, who is about to retire to accept a more lucrative and a more congenial position. Both Messrs. Ralph and Ferguson have been fair toward those under them. Perhaps the day will come when justice shall claim its reward and Messrs. Ralph and Ferguson; two of the noblest Romans of them all, will receive their reward. Mr. Ralph, when he was at the head of the Bureau, had tears to follow him when he retired. Mr. Ferguson will be missed. The injured and oppressed employees knew to whom to appeal to adjust their grievances. the Bureau of Engraving and Printing has lost a true and devoted friend to the oppose- or condition.

The Bee has great faith in Director Wilmeth, and so have many colored Americans, and many doubt his sincerity. The understrappers will play the devil now, because they are not so well known to the present chief as they are known to their former heads of the department. Many colored employees have resigned and many more will resign or be removed under the most flimsy pretex. The Bee hopes that Mr. Wilmeth will carefully scrutinize all recommedations for dismissal that are made by his sub-chiefs and see that the colored employees in his office are given a square deal. Hundreds of white girls are being appointed in the Bureau daily, and very few, if any, colored girls, no matter how competent they are. Who is to blame? Will someone explain? The Bee is free to say that all of its white friends have not gone into recluse. There are thousands in this country who still have faith in us and will support our cause. What have we done to warrant such rebuke that is so manifest? NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL The National Training School at Durham, N. C., under the supervision of Dr. James E. Shepard, is entitled to the greatest consideration. There is no young man in the South, started as he did to inaugurate a new propaganda, has made such a remarkable success. This school, above all others, should have been selected as one of the army training schools, for the reason that it affords greater opportunities than any other institution North. Southern schools give a better opportunity to students, anyway. It has been but a few years since this school was erected. He didn't have the assistance of millionaires. The colored business men of Durham, N. C., such as Professor Pearson, Messrs. Spaulding and Merritt and a few others, have contributed to the support of this growing school. Of course, Dr. Shepard had his competitors to combat. He had to overcome their jealousies by hard knocks. A few of them today are barking at his heels, like puppies crying for milk from their mothers. onal Training School at Durham, N. C. Dr. James E. Shepard, is entitled to the there is no young man in the South, st a new propaganda, has made such a r school, above all others, should have be The greatest menace to the education of colored Americans is the man who claims to report on colored institutions. This individual has his favorites, and whenever he can advance their interests to the detriment of those institutions which succeed despite his opposition and treachery, he will do so. Professor Dudley, at Greensboro, N. C., is one of the most conservative men in the South. His institution is one of the leaders of the race educationally. This school is a monument to Greensboro and one of the most successful educational institutions in the South. Men who are doing something very seldom are giveh proper credit.

The representatives of the colored race will hold a Conference in this city October 1, 2 and 3. This Conference will be composed of men who will express themselves on vital issues and questions affecting the colored race. The all-important questions will be the lynching of colored Americans, discrimination and segregation in the Government departments. The callers of this Conference are men well known throughout the United States. It is the duty of every citizen who loves his race to send a representative to this Conference. The great trouble with the colored people is, they get tired too soon. Every nationality in the United States, every labor organization and other organizations never fail to guard their civil and political rights. There is no harm to peacefully assemble and discuss impassionately their grievances and wrongs and present them to the proper authorities. Don't fail to attend the coming race Conference. THE HOWARD THEATRE. This theatre is steadily growing in popularity. It is now a necessity to the people of Washington. It is to the colored people what other great theatres in this city are to the white people. It is up to the colored patrons of the theatre to make it what it should be. Department of the colored people goes a long ways to advance any institution—goes a long ways to build it up. Mr. Thomas and his able aide. Mr. Byers, do their duty to please the people, and it is the duty of the colored people to so conduct themselves and patronize it as to perpetuate its usefulness. Noisy elements in any institution will destroy its usefulness, and for this reason the better element of colored people are segregated and discriminated against. The Bee hopes that the real people will continue to support the Howard Theatre. The return of Dr. and Mrs. Willbanks from the National Baptist Convention in St. Louis, Mo., was a joyful occasion. On Wednesday last the church, having voted to call a council by the time the pastor returned to examine one of its most brilliant young licentiate ministers for ordination—Bro.

Hotel and restaurant managers are greatly exercised over the position their employees will hold under the draft of September 12th. There is a spirit of unrest and uncertainty rampant in the hotel world as to how the draft will affect their help. President Height of the Hotel Men's Association and manager of the New Willard, of this city, is in receipt of several letters from hotel managers of various parts of the country on this subject asking just where they stood in the industry of the country in regards to placing employees in deferred classification of the draft. Director. General McAdoo has announced effective October 1st the custom of serving a la carte meals on dining cars will be abandoned so far as lunch and dinner is concerned and the table d'hote meals not exceeding four courses be substituted. Lunch and dinner will be $1.00, except a few limited trains will serve a fancy dinner at $1.47. A simple a la carte breakfast at moderate prices will be served on all cars. Plans have been completed to have this change made on every Government controlled road on the same day. It is expected the various railroad stations and lunch counters will make the same change if the table d'hote service proves successful in the dining-car service. Mr. John H.

President Archibald Grimke has been perambulating the streets of Boston, looking for slackers, no doubt; not military slackers, but derelicts who fail to recognize real merit. Archibald very seldom smiles now. He carries a deep thought in one of the. cells of his brain which will explode in due course of time. He still has the hope that Editor DuBois will resign to enable the Crisis to restore itself again in the hearts of the people. I saw Lef Hewline a few days ago at the corner of Fourteenth and Avenue De Nig. Lef doesn't discuss the war these days. Something of greater moment rests in the memory of that Italian head. There is one thing about Lef—he has the faculty of discovering deception, and once he loses confidence in you he erases you from his book of merit. He is a positive individual and a good provider at his home. Provost, Marshal Crowder has made a rule that has caught all draftees who were not married prior to August 5th, and the next rule, which was made or will be made, is that wives of draftees who have made their wives resign from the Government Departments under the pretext that their physical disability will not permit them to longer hold Government jobs. Several resignations of married women have taken place since 18 to 45 draft age went into effect. The resignations of these married women will not save their husbands from serving Uncle Sam. The women who have resigned on account of alleged physical disability will be sent to hospitals and given nurses, and their husbands who are physically able for overseas duty will be sent to training camps. Investigations have already been inaugurated and reports will be made to the several boards for action. A well known physician who has tried to play politics and practice medicine forced his wife to resign from the Government a few weeks ago under the pretense that she was physically unable to longer hold her job. So strange that this individual has just become physically incapacitated. She informed her friends a few months ago, while seated in the Howard Theatre, that she never felt better in her life. Many husbands have become so loving to their wives all at once. A strange atmosphere has been imbibed by many of these hubbies. My friend, Ken Gaskins, had no fear of taking the gun. He had something else in view. He is housed in Pythian Temple and rated a lieutenant, to look after the derelicts. Ben is foxy. He will remain in this city and look them over. This, of course, will preclude the disciple of Blackstone, from interfering with politics. He may play soldier politics, however, which may be more dangerous to the enemy than national politics. Well, I suppose you want to know what I mean by national politics. I mean the old-time politics, where you knock them down and drag them out. Speaking about hubbies' wives working in the Departments, there is a record being kept of all married women who resign without cause or provocation. This will not save hubby, by any means. Will Bowie is always on his job while the little hodcarrier Napoleon builds his new hotel. You must certainly give it to these two cracker-jacks. They work with so much ease. Your money is certainly safe in the Industrial Savings Bank. You can't draw other people's money from that bank if you have none there of your own. A brief history of the many banks that have been in this city, and their downfall, is enough to make anybody nervous. There was the old Freedmen's Savings Bank, with the Government supposed to have been behind it; with cashiers and clerks of national reputation; with property and education to rent on the installment plan. You could borrow anybody's money, with the cashier included, if you had the indorsement of a Lotus Club member. Speaking about the Lotus Club is ancient history to this generation. It was an organization of colored men and women who discriminated against its own color, either on account of your color or social standing. In that it was a social bank—a ring of colored men and women which sprang into existence as soon as this new bank was organized. The cashier was the high "mucky-muck," so to speak. He was surrounded by a social clique that knew no one outside of the ring. Its social functions were very select. When the bank busted, one or two went to the poorhouse, while one or FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY PORO SYSTEM ST. LOUIS, MO. "PORO" COLLEGE COMPANY St. Louis, Mo. Dept.

Write for liberal terms. two others went insane. Every effort was made to save the broken timber that the white managers of the bank left to the colored people. It was impossible. The old Sage of Anacostia was called in after the wreck. It was too far gone. This Lotus Club is ancient history, and the social functions which were given by it were the most brilliant that ever took place in this city. It was in the palmy days after reconstruction, when the colored brothers and sisters were emancipated. They contributed their freedom by discriminating against their less fortunate among them. If you were a school teacher, or a Department clerk, or a person of bright complexion, you could be admitted to membership in the Lotus Club. We have had other banks, to wit: the Eureka and the Capital City. All of them were officered by the brain and influence of the colored men. We have had colored building associations; all of these institutions squandered the people's money. Many of the officers went into bankruptcy, and left the poor depositors and stockholders to swim ashore the best way they knew how. But, here is a new age, and men from the lowly walks of life—men who obtained their ability and education by candle-light, while one was carrying the hod and the other shaving the faces of their supposed intellectual superiors. They came forth, and the hodcarrier said, "I will start a building association." The idea of a hodcarrier starting a building, association! He started it, and it is today the strongest institution of color in the United States. This hodcarrier said, "I am going to organize a bank." It was the sensation of the city. Just think of it. The greatest colored men in the race failed in their banking schemes, and a hodcarrier and barber talking about organizing a bank! Look at it today. From 150 depositors, now having almost a million deposited in this bank. The laugh is on the prophets Now, this little Napoleon of Finance took it into his head to erect a hotel. The conviction of the people has once more been established by the hod-carrier and the barber. A hundred thousand Jollar hotel is being erected by this great financial manipulator. My friend Weatherless would have also erected a monument to the Masons in this city, but the blue-vein jealous individuals allowed the green-eyed monster to stop him. It has now fell in other hands, and ever since his retirement as Grand Master the Masonic order in this city has been on the decline. The Sage devotes this much time and space to the exploits of men who have done something and to those who have failed on account of the green-eyed monster. Next week the Sage will deal more fully with the celebrated Lotus Club and society after reconstruction. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Tukegee, Ala., Sept. 23. - Tukegee Institute opened its 18th annual session Tuesday, September 10th. More than 1,000 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 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, but their work will 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.

INTERESTING EXERCISES One of the most impressive services held in Washington since the outbreak of the war occurred at the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, of which Rev. Emory B. Smith is pastor, Sunday afternoon, September 15th. The occasion marked the ordination of two virile young men, who have come forward to offer their services as chaplains in the United States Army. These young men are G. S. Connelly of the West Indies, a former student in the Yale School of Religion, now a private in the American Army, and Max Yergan, Army Y. M. C. A. Secretary, in charge of the overseas work of the colored department. On Saturday afternoon at a regularly called meeting of the Association of the Congregational Churches of Washington, in the Lincoln Church, these young men were examined by a duly organized council as to their personal religious experiences, their intellectual and spiritual qualifications for the work, their theological beliefs, and their reasons for desiring to serve as chaplains. Both of these young men made wholesome impressions on the members of the council. Mr. Connelly said that he was reared in a Christian home and does not remember when he was not a Christian, and Mr. Yergan spoke of being --- --- of Presiding Officer Secretary 19 possession of one of these blanks, may or copy from this.

Both of these young men presented themselves for the work with an unusual background of experience, Mr. Connelly having been assigned by the Yale School of Religion, where he was studying, to associate pastoral work in the Dixwell Avenue Congregational Church of New Haven, Conn., and Mr. Yergan, in addition to his experiences as an international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., in the colleges of the country, now fresh from his wonderful service as a Y. M. C. A. secretary with the Indian troops in India, and with the British troops in Africa. After listening to the statements of their theological beliefs, which were accepted as satisfactory, the council voted unanimously to ordain these two young men for the Congregational ministry. A committee consisting of Revs. Smith, Morgan and Garner, appointed to prepare the ordination program, arranged for the meeting at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Lincoln Church, where a large audience gathered. The devotional exercises were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Lyles of the People's Congregational Church, and the Rev. J. Francis Gregory of the Religious Bureau of the Army Y. M. C. A. The excellent choir of the church rendered inspiring songs and patriotic hymns were sung at intervals in the services by the congregation. The moderator, Dr. Alex- Save Sugar, Children! Good bye till after the war FOR THE CHILDREN IN BELGIUM AND FRANCE Bombardier Taffy A Penny here means a Burn 'Over them' ander C. Garner, of the Plymouth Congregational Church, after a brief statement explaining the proceedings of the council and the immediate purpose of the present meeting, introduced the Rev. Dr. Walter A. Morgan, pastor of the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church, who preached a vigorous, pertinent sermon on the text, Joshua, 19: "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, nor be thou dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with three wheresoever thou goest," drawing the timely parallel between Joshua and his call to a new work, and these young men who are suddenly confronted with a new task of tremendous responsibility, and that they, like the early servant of God, are to "be strong and of good courage." At this point in the service Secretary George L. Johnson of the Religious Bureau of the Army Y. M. C. A., sang with uplifting power one of the gripping songs he renders in the camps to the soldiers, "The Voice In the Wilderness." The right hand of fellowship was tenderly and impressively extended to the two young brothers by Dr. J. E. Moorland, the international secretary in charge of the Colored Department of the Y. M. C. A., including the present activities of the War Work Council among the colored troops. The prayer of ordination was given with befitting solemnity by Dr. Frank N. Greely of the Vanderwerken Congregational Church—the Congregational ministers present laying their hands on the bowed heads of the kneeling young men. The charge to the newly ordained young ministers was delivered by the Rev. J. Fraicis Gregory, Secretary of the Religious Bureau of the War Work Council, who put the testing question of our Master to those young brothers offering their services to Him, "Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of and be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with?" As a fitting climax to a service of profound impressiveness, Secretary Johnson sang his famous song "Over the Top With Jesus," prefacing the singing with a brief history of the birth of the song in his heart, as he was preparing himself for his work in the camps of the country. The services were closed with the Congregation standing and receiving the benediction from the young clergymen. It was indeed a significant occasion and the Congregational Church may well feel itself honored in this high Save Sugar FOR THE CHILDREN IN BELGIUM AND FRANCE A Penny here means A penny stick of candy or a lollipop in America is a bun in Belgium and France. Those are the countries where there are hungry children who need buns worse than you need candy. And if every little American, in every state in the Union, would not spend that daily penny for candy ANY DAY, buns with sugar on them could be given to the hungry children over across the sea, and they would become fat, and healthy and happy like yourself. Now, that sounds like magic, and magic it is—white magic, of the very finest kind. As magic is quite difficult to understand, you will have to read every word of what follows in order to see how the trick is done. You see, the story of how an American lollipop can turn into a Belgian bun—just like that—is very much like the story that ends with "dog won't bite pig, pig won't jump over stile, and I can't get home to night!" Let's pretend that we have come to the nice part at the end, where the pig finally jumps over the stile and the old lady gets home, all because the 'cat, way off yonder, began to eat the rat. In this story it's the little Americans, who begin to save' on lollipops, and the bun that finally lands safe in the hands of --- privilege of inducting into the great work of caring for the young manhood of the American Army two such well equipped, zealous, virile and consecrated young Christian leaders. Alice Dunbar Neison, the newly appointed field worker to mobilize the "woman power" of the colored people of the nation, has just concluded a successful tour of the Southern states, and has formed many new organizations through which the women of the race may aid in winning the war, and stimulated to a marked degree all of the units she found in existence in the cities and towns. Sergeant Robert Terry, of the First Separate Company of Baltimore, and Sergeant Charles Hughes, of the First Separate Battalion of Washington, D. C., have been presented the Croix le Guerre for bravery according to word received from France. These companies, now the Grand Regiment, are brigaded with the French, and are considered to be among the very best trained regiments on France. Of the graduates from the Field Artillery Training School for Officers at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky., thirty-three were colored. It is reported that six of the honor students were colored. The school opened July 1st and closed August 31st. Colored men, it is stated, stood second, third and fourth in rating in the total class of 2,500. At the closing exercises of the Infantry Division of the Central Officers' Training School at Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark., one hundred and seven colored men, representing nearly every state in the Union, received commissions as second lieutenants. Capt. Garrison, the instructor in charge of the school, said that the young men had exceeded all expectations, and had met conditions as they were in almost cheerful and confident manner, and that they had mounted the military ladder of training round by round, showing a degree of proficiency that compared most favorably with their fellows.

Here's the way it goes: If American children say NO to that lollipop, that they used to eat every day, the man who makes the lollipop out of sugar will tell the man who sells the sugar that he doesn't need so much next time; the man who sells the sugar will tell the man who brings the sugar from other countries in ships, that he needn't bother to load up so much sugar next trip; the man who brings the sugar from foreign countries will soon find that he doesn't need so many ships, and then he'll say to Uncle Sam, "Here's a ship you DO need, and I don't need." And Uncle Sam will take that ship and fill it with wheat, and perhaps some sugar, and one thing, and another, and send it over to Europe WITH war ships, and destroyers, to protect it, and the first thing you know, sugar coated buns, made out of American wheat, will be disappearing into the mouths of little French and Belgian refugees— All because YOU little Americans said "NONE TODAY" to the lollipops and candy, and started white magic that reached across the Atlantic ocean! --- FEED FOE BY TUNNEL German Smugglers on Swiss Border Use Pipe Line. Subterranean Line From House Across the Frontier Is Revealed by Basle.-Hunger is the mother of inventions. German hunger invented a great smuggling device which did a booming business until discovered by customs officers. Some Germans, living in Baden, near the Swiss frontier, built a pipe line across the frontier. It ended in a house rented to a German family. What this family consumed in the line of food, clothing, shoes, soap and other necessities was really astounding. However, these people bought things in the open market, which is still possible in Switzerland, paid cash, never grumbled, no matter how high the price and no questions were asked. One day recently two men were seen digging in the ground near the frontier. Customs officials became suspicious, and nosing around soon made a valuable discovery. The two men were engaged in repairing the pipe line, which had been used for smuggling. The machinery had become clogged and an opening had to be made to get at the seat of the trouble. The officials saw an opening had been made into a spacious tunnel built of concrete. Inside the pipe were long wires. These wires were wound round spools at the end stations and could be pulled either way. Goods, such as meat, cheese, hams, shoes, clothing, etc., were tied to the wire and pulled across the border through the subterranean channel. The Swiss government is now after the snugglers. The flourishing "business" is killed.

In peace days the plant will make dyes, fertilizer and other by-products of picric acid which the government is using during war times. The dyes, the process for which has already been perfected, will be equal or superior to those made in Germany. MUSIC KEEPS OFF SNAKES Berry Picker Plays Mouth Organ as Protection When He Goes Into Fields. Altoona, Pa.—Henry Atherton, a Frankstown township berry picker, plays a mouth organ as a protection against snakes, when he goes into the fields. He says that if there are any copperheads, rattlers or other species about they raise their heads and sway their bodies in time with the music and forget all about biting. The snakes are rendered harmless for some time by the vibrations and the berry picker continues his work with security. MOURNING SON'S DEATH, HEAR ANOTHER IS HERO Fond du Lac, Wis.—While relatives here were mourning the death of Corporal Roy W.

The dead soldier was a member of a machine gun unit, while Captain Watson commands an infantry company. Red Cross Will Keep Relatives Informed. Bureau Will Get Information Regarding Men Wounded, Killed or Missing. Washington.—The American Red Cross, through its bureau of communication, issued a request to the relatives of soldiers who are in the American expeditionary force, in which it asks these relatives to make inquiries regarding their kin, who are in the army through the Red Cross bureau of communication in Washington instead of, as is the case in numerous instances, of communicating with agencies or individuals in Europe. The request was issued in the name of Harvey D. Gibson, the American Red Cross commissioner in France. Mr. Gibson points out the fact that in a majority of cases inquiries are merely turned over by the individual or agency to the Red Cross, which has charge of such communication with soldiers' relatives, and which has developed special facilities for obtaining information about those reported killed, wounded, or missing, and those from whom letters have not been received. Congestion of cables and loss of time and energy are also occasioned by making the request other than through the Red Cross. It has been known that as many as four separate requests have been received about the same men by different institutions. Edward M. Day, acting director of the bureau of communication, said: the bureau of communication, said: "The function of this bureau is to give relatives all possible information which will lessen anxiety. Every inquiry is handled with full realization that a prompt and full reply is of serious moment to the happiness, peace of mind, and not infrequently to the health of the relatives. By writing to the bureau, relatives frequently will get immediately information at hand and may be sure that search is started abroad as quickly as the case warrants." MADE $35,000, CAN'T PAY TAX Soldier Told to Save Pay for Income Assessments, Says "I Blow it All." Washington.—Difficulties of soldiers who formerly were successful business men, in paying last year's income tax on this year's pay, are illustrated by a story brought to Washington by an officer serving at one of the southern cantonments. Last February, the officer said, he explained to the men of his command that all married men would have to pay a tax on all their last year's earnings over $2,000, while all unmarried men would have to pay on all income over $1,000. Coming to him later one of the men, a private, said: "I guess I won't be able to pay that income tax. I haven't any money." "Oh, that's all right," replied the officer, "you have until June to pay it and you can save it out of your pay by that time." "I'm afraid I couldn't," responded the private, "I made $35,000 last year and I blew it all in when I was called into the army." RABBITS A PEST NO LONGER Australia Finds the One-Time Cursed Now a Profitable Source of Revenue. Washington.—Rabbits, which were once the curse of Australia, as they have been to a lesser extent in the southwestern United States, now are providing a profitable source of revenue and at the same time helping to win the war by increasing the food supply. Official dispatches received here say the British board of trade has ordered 600,000 crates of skinned, rabbits, which will require the killing of 21,600,000 rabbits, weighing 36,000,000 pounds after dressing. Previously the rabbits were shipped with the skins on, but inconvenience was experienced at hospitals in England in removing the fur. How to dispose of the skins is causing the Australians speculation. There is a ready market for them in this country, but tonnage is scarce. Walks 145 Miles to Enlist Tulsa, Okla.—Chester Bunch, twenty, of Tonkawa, walked from his home to Tulsa, a distance of 145 miles, in order to enlist in the army, but was rejected because of a slight physical defect. The defect can be remedied by a slight operation. Bunch has a desire to become an aviator. He has gone to work in order to earn enough money to pay for the operation. DRAFTEE GETS TIRED WAITING; JOINS POLES Tarentum, Pa.—When the members of the draft board searched for Alexander Czymon, who failed to show up for entrainment for Camp Lee, they discovered that he had got tired of waiting for the call to service, and had joined a Polish regiment and is now believed to be on the western front.
