Tyler, the great American colored newspaper correspondent, has arrived in Paris. The Bee will contain a correspondence from him shortly telling of the conditions of the colored soldiers in France. A SERVICE FLAG. In Honor of the Members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The national headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is planning a service flag in honor of the members of the association in the military or naval service. In order to obtain the necessary facts, all branches have been requested to forward to the national office the following information in regard to their members, or persons in the immediate families of members. Names of all members now in the army or navy, together with branch of the service, name of regiment or division in which they are serving. Names of persons in the immediate family of members, together with their relationship to members, and name of regiment or division in which they are serving. Members of the District of Columbia Branch will please forward information along the lines above mentioned to S. M. Kendrick, Secretary, 2352 6th Street N. W. CONTINUE. TO COME. Letters continue to come to The Bee office from young colored women and girls who have passed the Civil Service examination and certified to the several departments and were reected on account of their color. The Bureau of Markets sent for a young colored girl who had been certified by the Civil Service Commission, and when she presented herself she was asked several questions that were not in the examination at the time she passed, and because she said that she had no experience in that particular line of work some subterfuge was given for her rejection. Now, how long is this kind of thing going to be continued? Will Ex-Speaker Cannon, Congressman Austin, Congressman Madden take up the cause of these young colored girls and take an effort to correct this injustice? There are hundreds of young colored women who have been reected on account of their color. CHURCH CLOSED. The Tenth Street Baptist Church, ev. Alexander Willbanks, pastor, is been closed on account of the fluenza epidemic. There will be no immunion, but the officers and pasy will be at the church from 11 m. until 1 p. m., and 3 p. m. until p. m., to receive individual mems who are requested to turn in their donations. The thirty-day real and rally that was going on in such great success has been continued on account of the inenza. As soon as permission is en these services will be resumed. URCH AT CAMP EUSTIS, VA. Camp Eustis, Va.—We want our many friends to join us in thanking our superior officers of this camp, as they are men of the best type. The honored soldiers at Camp Eustis have denied permission to improve and model an empty barrack into a house of prayer, known as a live church. Souls have been added to this church nightly. Sunday, October 12th, shortly after noon, the soldiers formed their long-distance lines toward the James T The Washington Bee River. One hour later Ernest Coulbourn, our brother and soldier, was baptized by Rev. Clinton D. Johnson, of Baltimore, assisted by W. H. Yeager, of Washington, D. C. The soldiers of this camp wish to thank Rev. James E.. Willis for his letter of encouragement, especially the following three, who are members of his church: Esau Galloway, Wilmer Smith and Major Galloway. NINETEENTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH—IMPROVEMENT FUND RALLY. The trustees of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church have been authorized to inform the entire membership of the church that the improvement fund rally scheduled for Sunday, October 20th, has been postponed until Sunday, November 17th next. The postponement is occasioned by the temporary closing order issued by the health authorities of the city on account of the presence of the Spanish influenza. It is hoped that this will allow the various captains of the teams working in the rally to meet all of their subscribers and to measure up to the desire of the membership in their effort to raise $2,500. On Sunday afternoon, October 20, the officers of the church will have the library open to receive from any captain who may desire to make returns of all moneys now held by them. These returns will be held in trust until the date of the postponed rally, when the amount will be credited. Beginning next Sunday and continuing until the closing order is rescinded, the officers of the church will be on duty during the regular hours of service—11 to 1 o'clock—to afford the members to meet their financial obligations to the church. No services will be held, but all members of the church are earnestly requested to bring or send their weekly offerings, so that the current expenses of the church will be promptly met. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, Pastor. William I. Lee. Chairman Trustee Board. Benjamin Washington, Giving to the order of the city authorities closing all churches, Bethel Literary is compelled to postpone its opening meeting set for October 22d. The public will be notified through the press of the new date for opening. Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom has announced as the subject of his address for the opening meeting "The Tower Builders of the Plains of Shinar: Shall America Reassemble Them in a Temple of Peace and Brotherhood?" You cannot afford to miss this. The membership campaign continues. Register in time for the opening. 'DOING GOOD WORK. Hampton, Va., October 9.—"A lot of colored men are doing magnificent work in pushing forward our lines. The colored engineer battalions 'over there' are helping to assist in repairing the lines of communication and are doing as noble work as the old Fifteenth Infantry of New York has done." Major General Grote Hutcheson paid this tribute to the excellent services which have been rendered by colored troops overseas in his recent Hampton Institute address. General Hutcheson, Colonel W. S. Copeland, editor of the Newport News "Daily Press" and "Times-Herald," and Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, spoke at the exercises which were held to celebrate the entry of 150,000 student soldiers into the Students' Army Training Corps on October 1, and Dr. Gregg said: "The ideals of Hampton Institute, from the days of General Armstrong to the present moment, have been those of courage, loyalty, serviceableness, unselfishness, obedience, intelligence, justice, kindness—the ideals of practical education and practical Christianity." The program included the playing of the Angelus on the school climes, the playing of, "The Star Spangled Banner," the raising of the American flag, and the repeating in unison of the oath of allegiance. The music included the singing of, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Oh Freedom," a spiritual of the old South, and "America." WAR WORK. In the "drive" for the Third Liberty Loan the colored citizens of Jacksonville, Fla., were asked to raise $50,000. When the returns were all in it was found that the energetic colored citizens had subscribed for bonds to the value of $250,000—a quarter of a million dollars' worth, and five times the amount requested of them. The executive committee in charge of the work among the colored people was headed by Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, and senior member of the firm of Anderson & Company, bankers. In recognition of this splendid showing the general committee awarded an "honor flag" to the colored citizens of Florida's metropolis, and at a monster mass meeting the flag was formally accepted, with Dr. N. W. Collier, president of the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, St. Augustine, Ela., as spokesman of the occasion. ITEMS ON THE WING. Influenza starts with a sore throat, which means that the germs have got in through the mouth or nose. No man ever missed anything by keeping his mouth shut, as the parrot discovered after the bulldog had torn out all of his feathers. The United States Public Health Service and the District of Columbia Health Department have established four emergency centers here for the relief of influenza sufferers, viz: Station No. 1, Curtis School, 32d and O Streets N. W. Station No. 2, Wilson Normal School, 11th and Harvard Streets N. W. Station No. 3, Webster School, 10th and H Streets N. E. Station No. 4. Van Ness School, 4th and M Streets Southeast. It is announced that two hundred thousand Chinese laborers may be imported to take the place of men gone to war, and afterwards to be sent back. If the two hundred thousand should come and return, how much of their blood will be left in this country in a mixed race, born here and with the right to stay here? With the yellow peril on the Pacific Coast, and the black peril on the Atlantic coast, the United States would be up against a complex combination that would be hard to master. * * * The list of royal wives and sisters, whose activities in international politics has sent millions of men to their death is headed by Sophie of Greece (sister of the Kaiser), and Victoria of Sweden, daughter of the Princess Louise of Prussia (aunt of the Kaiser). These two royal ladies have helped to raise all the Hades that's now going on. A war hospital, to be run entirely by women physicians, will be established in New York for the treatment of wounded soldiers returning from France. South Washington is a great place. White and colored assimilate and work on harmonious lines. One of the main avenue Southwest is Bootleg (viz: 4½). * * * Surgeon General Blue, U. S. A., states for the benefit of the public that every person who feels sick and appears to be developing an attack of the "flu," should be put to bed. If irregular bowels, a dose of castor oil or Kochelle salts should be given. If fever sets in call in a doctor. Onions sliced and applied will break the fever. Diet should be light and room should be well ventilated. * * * Two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers in the United States have been attacked with the "flu." About 10,000 have died. * * * Illustrious Thomas F. Harper, 33rd Degree Popular Printer, 208 H Street S. W., and Secret Society brother, is still sick in bed. Mr. Elijah White of 1523 Church Street has been very ill with influenza, but is a little improved. Mrs. Elijah White, who has been spending the summer in New Hampshire, returned last Thursday. She is looking well and reports a pleasant trip. Mrs. E. E. Ricks of Roanoke, Va., and her little daughter Helen, is in the city visiting relatives and friends. Mrs. Ricks will be joined this week by her husband, Rev. E. E. Ricks. They will then go to Newark, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Brown of Kingman Place have been quite ill. Mr. Brown is able to be out now, and Mrs. Brown is rapidly improving. Mr. and Mrs. James Brown, on Florida Avenue, have been ill for several days. Mr. Brown is up and Mrs. Brown is convalescing. Mr. Charlie Carter and Mrs. Carter of 1643 11th Street is ill. Mr. Carter has been very ill for several days, but we are glad to know that he is convalescing now. All of the Bee's agents are hustlers, but they have to hustle some to beat T. M. Townsley, 1020 You Street Northwest. Mr. George S. Contee, formerly of this city, but who has been making Denver, Colorado, his home for the past thirty years, is in the city the guest of his mother, Mrs. Laura V. Contee, and sister, Miss Ollie Contee. He was a guest of his cousin, Miss Eva A. Chase, at a luncheon Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Contee is well known in this city, where he was born, and whose friends are legions. He is having a most delightful time among his old friends and former companions, many of whom have passed to the great beyond. MISS EVA D. BOWLES A WORTHY YOUNG WOMAN New York.-Merit and hard work won high position for Miss Eva D. Bowles, head of the Y. W. C. A. work among colored women in this country; but Colonel Roosevelt has drawn general attention to her. When making provisions for the distribution of his $40,000 Noble Prize fund, $4,000 of which he directed should go to the Y. W. C. A. work among colored women, he said: "I have asked that Miss Bowles be consulted in the disbursement of this item. My wife and I were very much struck by the work of Miss Bowles in connection with the Colored Hostess House at Camp Upton, and I have asked that the money be used for the hostess houses for colored troops and in the work among colored women and girls in and about the camps and cantonments." For several years Miss Bowles has been doing a wonderful work among colored women, under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and that, too, almost single-handed. Today, from her office, she directs the Y. W. C. A. work among colored women throughout the country, having some eighty colored women staff workers under her supervision. 'Always shrinking from publicity, the work of this young colored woman; a native of Columbus, Ohio, and product of that city's public schools, had been little known outside of her sphere of action until Col. Kobsevelt, as he has done with so many other worthies, threw the spotlight on her. Miss Bowles received her first training as a social worker with the Associated Charities in her native city of Columbus. Her work there attracted the attention of the Y. W. C. A. officials, and they brought her to this big city for a wider field of usefulness. Today she is perhaps the most effective and achieving and at the same time noiseless worker among colored women in this country. The work of the Y. W. C. A. among colored women, which began some twenty years ago, has grown rapidly. The war has made it a big factor, giving it a place alongside of the Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross, and this clever young Ohio colored woman has contributed much to making it what it is today—one of the very big social factors. Around the National Board here Miss Bowles is greatly admired by all—the splendid white women of the Y. W. C. A. placing a high value on her efforts, earnestness and achievements. Dr. Frank Victor Plummer Goes From the Ranks to Practice His Profession. Camp Grant, Ill.—Dr. Frank Victor Plummer, private in Company B, Fifth D. B., who is at Camp Grant, Illinois, acting as corporal, is now practicing his profession. His commanding officer found that Corporal Plummer had the elements of a physician in him from the successful diagnosis of a case that he was sent to investigate. His diagnosis was correct, and so pleased was his commanding officer that he was immediately recommended for promotion. He is now attending the sick in camp. Dr. Plummer will be rated a lieutenant. He is the son of Dr. Robert F. Plummer, the well known pharmacist of Washington: FUEL ADMINISTRATION NOTES. United States Fuel Administrator Garfield has requested that all automobile, motor cycle and motor boat racing and speed contests be suspended for the period of the war. The request is a result of the growing need for the conservation of gasoline and because of the growing demand for skilled automobile drivers and mechanics for war work. * * * The Right Rev. P. J. Donahue, Roman Catholic Bishop, of Wheeling, W. Va. has issued a general appeal to the coal miners of the country, and particularly those of West Virginia, to increase the production of coal to the limit. * * * Under proclamation issued by President Wilson and regulations formulated by the Fuel Administration, those engaged in the business of importing, manufacturing, distributing, and transporting crude oil, gas oil, kerosene, gasoline, and natural gas are required to secure licenses to do business. United States Fuel Administrator Garfield announced that the use of automobiles on gasolineless Sundays for the purpose of aiding the Fourth Liberty Loan would not be considered a violation of the request of the Fuel Administration for the Sunday saving of gasoline. A NATION'S STRENGTH IS IN ITS FOOD SUPPLY Eat Less — Waste nothing Create a Reserve AMERICA MUST FEED 120,000,000 ALLIES Funeral of Mrs. G. L. Trotter Born in Boston and Noted for Her Work Among Colored Race. The funeral of Mrs. Geraldine Louise Pindell, wife of William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Guardian, was held yesterday at 2 o'clock from her home, 07 Sawyer Avenue, Dorchester. The Rev. Walter D. McClane, rector of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church of Cambridge, conducted the service with the Episcopal ritual. "Crossing the Bar" and "Fear Ye Not, O Israel," from "Elijah," were sung by Harry Delmore, tenor. The gray casket was banked with a profusion of beautiful floral tributes, one from the Boston Literary Association, another from the men of the Parker House. The honorary pallbearers were Wm. D. Brighton, E. T. Morris, C. H. Plummer, Wm. L. Reed, E. E. Brown, Dr. J. Washington Hill, the Rev. M. A. N. Shaw. The active pallbearers were E. P. Benjamin, William P. Hare, James Anderson, Robert Johnson, Frederick Brooks, Private David G. Morris, adopted soldier son of the deceased, from Camp Devens; Dr. A. P. Russell and Dr. H. W. Ross. There was a large attendance of friends. Interment was at Fairview Cemetery, Hyde Park. Mrs. Trotter left to mourn her loss her mother, Mrs. Mary Pindell; a sister, Miss Gertrude Pindell; a foster brother and her husband. Geraldine Louise Trotter was born in Boston, October 3, 1872, the daughter of Charles E. and Mary Pindell. She was educated in the Boston schools, and for ten years was bookkeeper for Eli Cooley, china decorator, "unitil she married Mr. Trotter, June 27, 1899, in the same house where she died, October 9, 1918, at the age of 46 years. Her chief life work was associate manager of the Boston Guardian, an organ for equal rights for colored Americans, published by Mr. Trotter. But she engaged in much public-spirited work. She secured pardons for several colored inmates of the State prison, notably the late William E. Hill, who had been there more than forty years. She was executive chairman of the Boston Literary Association, arranging the loving cup presentation to Moorfield Storey in Faneuil Hall. She organized a women's anti-lynching committee, and was a member of the Equal Rights League. Her chief activities recently were for the colored soldiers. She presented the national colors to the 519th Engineers at Camp Devens in behalf of the State. Organized the Godmothers' Association to this, the only colored unit, which went overseas from Massachusetts, and begun organizing with a "circle of cheer" at Newburyport. She was a member of the Soldiers' Comfort Unit and Sunday hostess at its War Service Center. Her last act was to send fruit to the colored soldiers at Camp Devens who were ill with influenza. She was a communicant of St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Dorchester. Few members of her race were better known. She was an able newspaper woman and ready public speaker. YOUR PAPER.

Hilleary and Miss Lillian Holcombe will look after the work of Prof. Daniels until further notice. SAFORMS SERMONS BY UNUS And he played on a harp of a thousand strings. THE SETTLEMENT. No. 3. In my last talk I advanced fifteen general propositions for a basis of the settlement of the great war. In the present talk I begin the enumeration of a series of specific provisions, rules or terms based on those propositions. But let me first turn aside a moment for some general reflections. The damage done by the Germanic alliance will have been so vast that it will be impossible to repair it completely. A reasonable approach to the repairment of it is the best to be hoped for. Our moral obligation of generosity and the obvious physical limitations will cause us to modify the debt that will be figured out as justly due. There can be no real compensation in nature or economy for the destruction of life and property or for the loss of time. What we will call repayment or repairment will be only assimilated repayment or repairment; it will be merely the borrowing from future time and labor—our own future toil as well as that of the vandals. Strict justice would demand that the whole cost of the repairment be saddled on the vandals, but this cannot and will not be, and so far as the vandals are concerned, the only thing to be done is for us to estimate the physical limits of their capacity for restitution and to tax them accordingly. 1. The vanquished foe will be disarmed. Let him retain sufficient small arms for police and hunting purposes. 2. Until the penalties imposed are satisfied there will be a limited and benevolent military occupation by the victors of the lands of the vanquished. 3. The public debt of no vanquished enemy nation incurred for the purposes of the present war shall be paid until after the debt due the victor nations shall have been paid, nor any part of such debt, nor interest thereon. 4. The German Empire shall be dissolved. 5. The Austro-Hungarian Empire shall be dissolved. 6. The Ottoman Empire (Turkey) shall be reconstructed. 7. Bulgaria shall be contracted. 8. Russia shall be restored to its territorial limits antebellum; her international obligations shall be adjusted and secured, and after that the Russian territory shall be reconstructed or partitioned in the interest of the several constituent races. tions. 9. The death penalty shall not be visited by the victors on any captured or surrendered foe for any purely military or political offense. 10. No purely exemplary or punitive damages will be exacted by the victors, because the victors will exercise a spirit of generosity. 11. The victors will exact pecuniary indemnities from certain offending lands and peoples for actual damages and costs to the victors, and the total amount assessed shall be styled the Atonement Debt. 12. The victors will, as far as practicable, exact from the foe specific restitution of stolen property wherever the same can be identified. 13. The victors may, where deemed practicable, exact from the foe the rehabilitation of the property of any of the victors or of any neutral wantonly and needlessly destroyed. Taxing Period. 14. The period of the enforcement of the penalties imposed and the duration of the military occupation incident thereto shall be styled the Taxing Period. Settlement Commission. 15. The chief administrative agency of the victors for the enforcement of the penalties imposed shall be a Settlement Commission consisting of commissioners of the different victor allies, and the headquarters of the Settlement Commission during its existence shall be at or near the city of Berlin in the province of Brandenburg. [I have worked out details for the constitution and operation of the Settlement Commission, the statement of which I defer until a later day.] My next talk will deal with the basis for ascertaining the total amount of the Atonement Debt to be assessed, and how it should be apportioned among the penalized lattes and peoples. After that, in other talks, I purpose to deal with annexa- THE AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE You should attend the A. & T. College. Its Twenty-fifth Annual Session begins October 1, 1918.

EQUAL RIGHTS CONVENTION WITH WORLD DEMOCRACY PLAN. Chicago, Ill., for four days. September 16th to 20th, 1918, has been the scene of one of the strongest race-rights conventions ever held by colored Americans, and one destined to he historic. For this we thank the National Equal Rights League, Mrs. Ida B. W. Barnett, local chairman; Rev. L. K. Williams, pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church, where sessions were held. till Thursday afternoon, and Rev. B. J. Prince, pastor of Original Provident Baptist Church, where the convention was concluded. It was the 11th annual meeting of this Colored League. A splendid body of ninety delegates were present from twenty-three states, and session after session they deliberated for Washington, D. C. PLACE CAFE UP-TO-DATE SERVICE NIA AVENUE N. W. Everything Hot and gentlemen in our New Palace Din- appease the appetite. the race. The outstanding results are an improved constitution, strong addresses to the country, a delegation to call on President Wilson to ask Congress to begin democracy here for all colored Americans, resolutions endorsing woman suffrage, demanding colored doctors be called as medical officers, that colored men be line officers and non-commissioned officers of colored units, a conference with organized labor, rules for local branches, an official pin proposed by Prof. A. U. Craig, and the plan for a National Equal Rights Representative Assembly, by which colored America can elect peace petitioners to ask for world democracy for colored Americans as part and parcel of the new world alignment. It was a great convention, and should lead to great results if supported by the race. The league devoted the meeting to measures whereby world democracy could be secured for colored Americans, who are taking part in the fight against Germanic autocracy. A delegation, consisting of the Rev. E. W. Moore, Columbus, Ohio: Dr. J. D. THE BARBER'S WORKSHOP THE INSTANTANEOUS VIOLET RAY TREATMENT. Scientific instruction of a method to remove blemishes.

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH BEAUTY CULTURE SCHOOL (Incorporated) Offers an excellent opportunity for the woman who desires to enter the business world, by taking up a course in BEAUTY CULTURE. Nobody nowadays can say, "I have no chance." There are and always will be new lines with each woman—whether she will be one of those to create and take advantage of the opportunities that THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH BEAUTY CULTURE SCHOOL OFFERS. We teach the following courses: Hair Dressing, Facial Massage, Manicuring, Scalp Treatment, Instantaneous Bleaching, Electric Treatment for the Face and Scalp. The treatment of the face and scalp are done scientifically at this school. A thorough knowledge of the business is taught in this school. Gordon, Los Angeles, Cal.; Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett and the Rev. S. R. Gipson, Chicago, Ill.; D. J. Johnson, Trenton, Ark., and Prof. A. W. Whaley and William Monroe Trotter, Boston, was appointed to call on President Wilson to recommend to Congress measures to remove color proscriptions. The most significant act of the convention was the adoption of a plan to enable the colored citizens to elect race representatives to lay the cause of their race before the world peace conference at the war's close for full democracy as a part of the new world adjustment. The league proposes a National Equal Rights Congress of the race at Washington on or after January 1, 1919, to which delegates will be selected by leagues or affiliated race bodies, who will select these world peace petitioners. Those organizing Equal Rights Leagues are asked to notify the Corresponding Secretary, W. M. Trotter, 34 Cornhill, Boston, Mass. The convention thanked the nators and officers of both churches for giving the free use of their edifices for the cause of the race.

TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW LONG There are so many so-cained 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. Quina soap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and impart a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo.

What about Africa? Where is the spokesman for the native African? Nowadays we hear much about the proposed League of Nations. The indications are that all the great powers are in favor of it. How will the League of Nations affect Africa? It is a noteworthy fact that the whole of Africa, with the exception of the small States of Abyssinia and Liberia, has been carved up and apportioned among nations of Europe and ruled and exploited as colonies. This means that only one-twentieth of the population and only one-fortieth of the area are free and independent. President Wilson's fourteen terms of peace embodies the following principles: "Adjustment of colonial claims impartially based on popular rights." "Association of nations for mutual guaranties of independence and territorial integrity for nations both large and small." In order to determine whether these principles will affect the rights and political status of native Africans it would be necessary to resort to interpretation. The term "colonial claims" evidently refers to the claims of Germany, Great Britain, France, etc., but the term "popular rights" would seem to refer to the rights of native Africans. The term "association of nations" requires a definition of the word "nation" before we could apply it to any province or race in Africa. Probably it is not intended to include any of the peoples or areas of Africa now ruled by aliens as colonies, unless President Wilson contemplates independence for some of the African peoples who are not now independent. It seems highly probable that the "nations" that President Wilson has in mind are nations of Europe and possibly Asia. But the principles enunciated by him are so broad and liberal that it would be easy to apply them also to peoples and areas of Africa. Possibly our President has such a notion in mind, while not deeming it wise to announce it at this time. One thing is certain, and that is that no earthly influence could be more potent for the emancipation of the native Africans than a word or a nod by President Wilson at the proper juncture when the time comes to settle the African colonial problems growing out of the present war. Already the European holders of vast African colonies are beginning to quarrel about the future disposition of those African territories recently wrested from Germany by British arms. It is amusing to note that Germany and England, in attempting to prove superior moral fitness to rule over native Africans, contend less about which has done them the most good than which has done them the less harm. Who will speak for the native African at the peace table? What will be the place of the native African in the League of Nations? We appeal to President Wilson to speak for him at the peace table. In due time we shall offer the President some suggestions of things to demand for the native African at the peace table. And if those demands are made and granted, the native African will have a respectable representation in the councils of the League of Nations. Africans and sons of Africans are fighting on the battle fields of Europe for universal justice. It is in the name of these that we now volunteer to speak. MR. ARTHUR BRISBANE. Mr. Arthur Brisbane, the editor and proprietor of the Washington Times, is a great preacher. He is a social evangelist. He has a mission, and that is to make mankind better and happier. He has ability, and he fortifies that ability by persistent study. By his studies he lays history and science under contribution, and the treasures gleaned he gives to his readers in simple language, applying the lessons to the problems of today. He is a man of vast energy, and the prodigious amount of good work daily done by him is a marvel. Being a lover of mankind, he has chosen the best way to further civilize his species, and that is by his confidence in the plain, every-day man, even "the man with the hoe," and he is the friend and champion of this plain man. Mr. Brisbane has scored a marked journalistic success. This success has engendered professional rivalries, whilst it goes without saying that his broad catholicity and democracy have excited the hatred of "the interest," the pampered few, the soi disant aristocracy that is endeavoring to establish itself in this land of equal opportunity. Naturally these persons jealous of him and these persons afraid of him would like to crush him. Naturally they would seize the first opportunity. Maybe it is not quite so natural that they should manufacture the opportunity to do this, and yet this is precisely what they have recently done. Mr. Brisbane wanted to own a newspaper organ at the National Capital to enable him better to pursue his bent for social reform. Incidentally it happened that Mr. Brisbane opposed the manufacture and sale of strong alcoholic beverages and favored the manufacture and sale of light wines and beers, as do many other good people. Incidentally, the leading brewers of the country wanted to see established at the National Capital an organ that would advocate that doctrine. Here was a very natural meeting of purpose with interest. Mr. Brisbane wanted the journal, but lacked sufficient capital to obtain it. The brewers had the necessary capital, but lacked the ability and experience to conduct such a journal. The upshot of the matter was that the brewers lent Mr. Brisbane enough money to supplement his own and enable him to purchase the Washington Times. Both got what they needed. Was there ever a more natural or ordinary transaction? Each of two parties wants something the other can supply for a consideration, and they make a trade. That is the simple essence of all trading, of all legitimate exchange. Then, wherein lies the fault of Mr. Brisbane? Ah! Some brewers are of German birth or descent. Some even have German names. Our country is at war with Germany. Evidently, therefore, this is a pro-German plot. So Mr. Brisbane's enemies reason. The fallacy is too transparent to require further exposure than merely to state it. A most ludicrous instance of the familiar old fallacy of non causa pro causa, or false cause. Since Mr. Brisbane has owned and edited the Times there has been no more savage an editorial policy against Germany than that pursued by that paper. We say "savage" because he has persistently advocated the rushing of our airplane production and the destruction by that means of German cities. But Mr. Brisbane needs no aid from us. His work speaks for him. And, by the way, we, too, favor the manufacture and sale of light alcoholic beverages, and yet we never got a loan from the brewing interests. GERMANY AND THE BLACK MAN. Germany, since the great war began, has shown repeated unmistakable evidences that Germany as a State holds the black man in the very lowest estimation. The sentiment, long concealed, probably for practical reasons, has cropped out not infrequently in the last four years. And yet Germany showed the same attitude against all the darker races even earlier. Germany's treatment of China at the time of the Boxer War and the emperor's contemptuous remarks concerning the Chinese showed the German's attitude toward the yellow race then. This was confirmed by her subsequent attitude toward Japan at the time of the Russo-Japanese War. She did not conceal her contempt for the yellow race. When recently the emperor complained that the United States was supplying arms to England and France to fight Germany, and he was reminded by an American that his country supplied Russia with arms to fight Japan, he exclaimed in disgust: "That was different; the Japanese are a yellow race, the Germans a white." Now the Germans think it horrible that blacks are transported to Europe to fight white men. Horrible! This is the brutal Germany that set out deliberately to depopulate German Southwest Africa of its native people in order to make a home for a German white colony in the temperate zone of Africa. Which case is the more horrible? The Africans in Europe have observed the rules of civilized warfare. The Germans in Africa surpassed beasts in their bloodthirsty brutality. And yet this same Germany is now whining to have the African colonies restored to her on the ground that she was more moderate in brutality than England was. She whines this in the same breath that she complains that blacks are now fighting her. Germany must not again be permitted to rule colonies in Africa. The individual middle-class German in the United States has always been kind to the black man. The German Government in Africa has been the ferocious brute. It is a shame and a disgrace to see how colored Americans are gobbed of the ballot in the South. How long are these diabolical violations of the election to continue? It is about time the Republicans and advocates of a pure ballot took notice. The State of Mississippi sets a fine example for honesty and purity of the ballot. It doesn't stop in Mississippi, but here at the Capital of the Nation Southern prejudice and discrimination have permeated the very atmosphere. Hundreds of highly educated and refined colored girls are rejected because they are colored, and yet there is a continuous clamor for clerks in many of the Government departments. To appease this clamor many of these colored girls are given messenger positions. Many of the colored girls have to show many of the white girls how to do their work, although the colored girls are rated as messengers. It is all right with these white girls, while the colored girls act in the capacity of messengers, but the moment one is appointed to a cerkship there is a howl. Thousands of colored girls stand waiting to help the Government. They stand ready to purchase Liberty Bonds, but how are they to purchase bonds if they are not given an opportunity to work? There are no traitors or slackers among us. Then why is it that we are ignored? Why are we discriminated against? Why are we ostracised? We are loyal and true to the Government. Now, in the name of God, in the name of justice, in the name of our colored soldiers in France, give us an opportunity to serve our country and uphold the hands of the President. This The Bee asks in the name of twelve million colored Americans How long? How long? IT IS COMING. It would seem to The Bee that the people who are oppressing the weaker races would be convinced by now that they must retrace their steps: God is speaking to those who are oppressing the most loyal race in the world. It will be remembered that Pharaoh was visited by several plagues and he did not come to his senses until he was destroyed. If the present plague doesn't convince the lynchers of the colored race that God is speaking, there will be another plague more destructive than the present one. Let down the barriers of discrimination before it is too late. We are fighting for democracy, but are denied admission to the departments. Colored girls who are competent are rejected an account of their color. How are colored soldiers treated in France by the Southern crackers? Thousands of colored soldiers are on French soil fighting for democracy. Will there ever be a colored president at the head of Howard University? Old bachelors who used to put their ages back, now put them forward to escape the draft. to the many manufacturing plants now using Negro labor, community recreation has been an interesting feature of the League's work. This included supervised picnics, dances, and outdoor and indoor games. A special police officer to mingle with the migrants in pool rooms, clubs, saloons, and on street corners, with a view to regulating conduct in public, proved a helpful venture. This particular feature has been found very helpful in New York, where the New York League, six months prior to the draft, and at least nine months before the "work or light" order went into effect, had two colored officers assigned to its Harlem office for ten weeks to mingle with the newcomers, urging the men to work or undergo arrest—a feature which probably facilitated the work of the Draft Board later. What can prevent the people from catching the "flu" with all the windows in the cars open? * * * Keeping warm is the best prevention The Bee can suggest. * * * An eminent physician recommends a teaspoonful of baking soda mixed with half a glass of warm water and used as a nose and mouth wash, as a preventive. * * * Will Editor Brisbane be investigated—and for what? Some white editors are just like some colored ones. They are jealous of each other's success. * * * A few temporary appointments of colored girls are being made in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The Urban League of Chicago, also faced with the problem of housing and training its new population, as well as protecting it from exploitation, furnished a housing survey for the packers which resulted in better accommodations, for the employees of the stockyards. The Chicago League's program includes probation, organization of nurseries, and girls' and boys' and men's and women's clubs. Its employment activities have been taken over by the United States Employment Service, which is using the machinery developed by the League, including its office force. As long as the "flu" continues there will be a chance for colored applicants passing through. * * * It is an ill wind that doesn't do some people good. IMPROVED URBAN CONDITIONS AMONG NEGROES. (From the Outlook.) The unparalleled migration of the past two years of Negroes from the South to the North is still taxing every agency interested in the social, economic and industrial development of the Negro, and is attracting the sympathetic attention of the public, which is also witnessing the Negro's spirit of loyal co-operation with the government's war program. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has had seven years of experience in securing and training Negro social workers. Its policy has been one of co-operation with all existing agencies, and it is a valuable agency because of its activities in probationary work, its interest in parks and playgrounds and other sources of clean amusement, its wide experience in the field of surveys and investigation of city living conditions in thirty cities of the country, North and South. The recently organized Urban League of East St. Louis has already brought about such relationship between the races and between employer and employee as will make improbable a repetition of the recent riots which were the result of the lack of co-operation due to poor city and industrial organization. The results from these varied fields of usefulness in which the League is active attest the foresight of its organizers nearly eight years ago. The League's headquarters in New York City are at 200 Fifth Avenue. REV. WILLBANKS EXONERATED. At a meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, Rev. Alexander Willbanks was exonerated by a vote of 24 to 11. Both the national and local offices of the League are called upon for assistance in providing trained workers to meet the demands resulting from the employment of Negroes in industry. These workers are being used by the government, by private enterprises and plants of every description to act as arbitrators between employer and employee, to reduce labor turnover, to provide and place skilled workers, and to, oversee proper recreational and housing provision for the new arrivals. That employers value the services of these welfare workers is evidenced by the number now being used in steel, powder, shipbuilding, electrical mining, and other industries. Other industrial concerns not employing social workers regularly are calling upon the League to furnish lecturers and speakers to address noonday meetings of the workers and mass meetings in the community surrounding the industrial plants.

Prof. John Elliott Smith, director of the State College of Agriculture at Princess Anne, Md., and Miss Edna Elmira Thomas, demonstrating agent of home economics for the Eastern Shore of Maryland, were married on Monday, October 14, at the residence of the bride, 909 French Street N.W. 1 Mrs. Smith is the daughter of Mr. George W. Thomas, for more than thirty years a trusted employee of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, U. S. Treasury Department. Prof. Smith is a graduate of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute and Cornell University. Mrs. Smith is a product of the schools of Washington, D. C., and has been teaching in Maryland for several years. They left on the noon train Monday for Princess Anne Academy, Princess Anne, Md., where they will make their future home. Mrs. Simth carries with her the good wishes of many friends of the city. The colored brother of the United States doesn't know his strength. If he was combined and worked in harmony—more of the plums in the world would come in his direction. United actions always bring mutual benefits. Before the present war the total number of Germans in this country was a little over five millions, and the colored population between eleven and twelve millions—and the whole secret or key to the present solution is for the colored brother to get money. Money is power—and bury the knife.

There are more people doing their own work than ever was known before. This war demonstrated what we have been preaching for a long time, viz: Every war the United States has had the colored American has taken part. Hence by this act alone he is entitled to the rights and benefits of this great republic. Until the colored American receives his civil rights there will always be dissatisfaction in the United States. The colored man of the United States is not bothered about the social part of the business. What he wants is the civil part (which he has won on the battlefield), the right to travel and enjoy the accommodations of this country without the color business coming in. The thing is foolish, anyhow. If the white people can eat food prepared by black hands, why can't they travel on the same railroad cars? CALLED HOME Mr. Jacob N.'

I spoke of the Lotus Club some time ago and its standing in society. There was a time when the late Wm. E. Matthews dictated society and had the say as to who should be invited to the social functions. Matthews was a money lender. He absolutely controlled the money market among the colored social set. Tom Clark attempted to win his business, so to speak, and if he hadn't come to a sudden halt, he would have been wound up. The town was full of money sharks during the Matthews regime. He was a genial fellow, but that ten per cent—he must have. There were many curbstone brokers and runners for white money sharks. The celebrated Legion of Honor came into existence then Col. William Murrell was president. The members could borrow from $5 to $500. It was a cinch. Col. Murrell was president, secretary, executive committee and approval board. His O. K. would get you anywhere from $5 to $500. Col. Murrell knew how to spend money. A $20 bill was no more to him than a two-cent postage stamp. The Colonel would never ask the price of an article. If he wanted it he would pay for it. About twenty years or more ago Col. Murrell started on a trip from New York City to Glenn Island. On his arrival at Glenn Island he ordered Dutch sausage and beer. When the bill was handed to him for $1.50 he was so much surprised that he never failed thereafter to ask the price of an article before he ordered it. In the good old reconstruction days Col. Murrell had a landing named for him in Louisiana, known as Murrell's Landing. The Colonel always carried in his brain one speech, and when he was called upon to deliver a speech he would deliver the same speech, but transformed. Murrell came along in the good old days of Ex-Gov. Pinchback, when money came from the Louisiana lottery like water flows down Niagara Falls. Both should be worth today nine hundred thousand dollars. A $20 bill would affect their eyesight and hundred dollar bills were strangers to their pockets. Those were good old days. Col. Murrell could spend money faster than a horse could run and never get out of breath. I have been waiting patiently to hear from Ralph W. Tyler. There have been so many conflicting reports concerning the treatment of colored soldiers in France, I feel certain Mr. Tyler will send a correct report, if he can get it by the censor. Perhaps you have not heard the story of a post-office inspector calling to see Mr. Tyler about the National Public Comfort Committee and what the nervy journalist said to him. He never bothered Tyler again, but before he left he subscribed a dollar to his committee. There have been many reports coming from across the sea. The latest one was the death or missing of one of the Clifford boys. Perhaps The Bee will have a reliable report in a few days of the real condition of the boys in France: The French people are treating them well, notwithstanding the slurs of the Southern crackers. This influenza is a lesson to this class of individuals, but they don't seem to take the hint. Bible students know of the plague of Pharaoh and no heed was taken until the last plague came and freed the children of Israel. This influenza is only the beginning of the many plagues to come. I never get worried. I know the good old summer time will come again, and the birds will begin to sing and the flowers will bloom. The black man will be a factor in this war. You may take oft his stripes and reduce him to the ranks; he will continue to be loyal to his country. He may not be able to purchase Liberty Bonds, but he will purchase as many as his money will permit and some day old "flu" will come stronger and make it possible for the sons and daughters of Ham to sit at the desks and tables with a brass pen behind their ears and a bank book in their drawer and black ink upon their desks and draw checks for thousands of Liberty Bonds. Old Ham's children never get tired of waiting. They can rest longer without getting tired than any other nationality. When Judge Terrell was in Chicago he was fionized. They didn't want him to leave.

CLAY SMITH, 918 Westminster Street N. W., Washington, D. C., September 23, 1918. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, 1109 Eye Street N. W. Dear Sir: Having read your statement in Saturday's Bee concerning colored applicants, I wish to state that I have taken the filed clerk examination on the 13th of July, and on the 13th of August I received my ratings, which were 77.65. Within the envelope there was also a list of questions to be answered within seven days, or else the applicant's name would be removed from the register. I answered the questions within the time given and remailed it to the Civil Service Commission. That is the last I have heard from them. Several examinations have taken place since that date, and I am sure appointments have been made from them. I also received an appointment as typist from a typewriter examination taken last fall. This appointment was in the Bureau of Soils, 12th and B Streets S. W., for a period of thirty days at $1.50 a day. Being such a meager remuneration for a typist, and for such a short duration of time, I paid no attention to the appointment. Any thing you can do towards furthering my appointment as clerk or typist will be greatly appreciated: Dear Sir, Replying to your request in last Saturday's Bee concerning colored applicants who have passed the Civil Service examination, and who have been certified for appointment and rejected on account of color, I wish to state that I passed the examination for Departmental Clerk on May 4th of last year with an average percentage of 85.65. In June of last year I was certified to the War Department, and at one time during the same month was notified to appear at the Depot Quartermaster's Office, and did so. In June of this year I was certified to the War Risk Insurance Bureau of the Treasury Department, and again to the War Department. Each time when I appeared at the places mentioned, I was refused appointment, evidently because of my color. Up to this date I have received no recognition so far as concerns appointment. Most respectfully yours, McNeill Washington, D. C., September 26, 1918. My attention was called today to a request in your paper of last week that all colored applicants who had passed Civil Service examinations, been certified from time to time, and failed to secure appointment to send you their names. My name has been on the stenographic register for a good many months, and certified more than once, but I have so far failed of appointment. Any further information I will gladly give. Very respectfully, Lafayette McNeill, Coast and Geodetic Survey, Washington, D. C. 124 Carroll Street, S. E., Washington, D. C., September 23, 1918. Uberger of The Bee Dear Sir, I entered the First Grade Clerical Examination May 31, 1917, passed same, and received rating September, 1917. The following November I received an appointment to the Agricultural Department, Bureau Markets, and was 35th on the list requested of the Commission for 60 vacancies. Later I was certified to the respective departments, Civil Service Commission, War Department twice, Navy Department, and Treasury Department. In each case I was turned down. The greatest appreciation for any consideration shown me. Respectfully yours. Having read in your interesting paper that all colored males and females who have passed the Civil Service examination, and from time to time were rejected after being certified to send in their names when certified and to what departments. I have the pleasure to inform you that I was certified by a special delivery to report to Room 351 of the Provost Marshal's Office, 7th and G Streets, old Land Office Building, at 1 o'clock on February 16th, but on calling I was told I would be sent for later on, regardless of the fact that the letter was sent special delivery. Again on, August 2 I was certified to Room 13, Post Office Department, old Post Office Building, on Pennsylvania Avenue, and was told the same thing, that I would be sent for later on. The "later on" has never come in either case. My name and address is: Mrs. Marvelline A. Hoffman, Stanton and Evans Ave., Anacostia, D. C. Mrs. Marvelline A. Hoffman, Cor.

Calvin Chase, I was reading an article in the Bee stating if there were any applicants who had successfully passed the Ciyil Service Examination and had been rejected to notify the Bee office. I took the examination very nearly a year ago, and have been sent for, but when I answered the summons was just put off. Am very glad to hear that some man has looked into the matter, or, I might say, looking after the colored girls. Thanking you in advance, LEADERSHIP. Will Follow the Rich and Not the Poor—Why Colored Leadership Is a Failure. Editor of The Bee: The editorial in The Bee on the subject of the ineffectiveness of colored leadership is thoughtful and the suggestion that leadership of office holders or aspirants for positions hinders and handicaps. race leadership is timely, and true as it is timely. Those who engineer for self-advancement and place adapt themselves to the requirement and to expediency rather than striking out for the cause of race welfare. To my mind the race has suffered because we have not been in a position to make effective our numbers by and through a proper direction of our strength as voters. This is true, and the reason for it is that we are not moved as a race with understanding of the great issue involved. For a quarter of a century that Southerner, who has followed all the machinations of the Southern oligarchy, Joseph C. Manning, has sounded the issue of ballot rights. He has all along said that the vote was the foremost essential. He has cried out all the while that no ballot, no protection of manhood or property rights. That thing of voice in government—world democracy—that the world is in grapple about today is the issue of most concern to our race. The disfranchisement of our people in the South was passed over too lightly by our people, while some were even so short-sighted as to advise the staying out of politics and tamely acquiescing to it. At this time Manning was warning the race, and his warning made him unpopular with many of our people. He said then that the Southern Democracy would seek to justify their action in the North; and they did so with their anti-race propaganda. Some of our leaders North said that we had nothing to do with the Southern colored man's plight; that we had best take care of ourselves; and Manning warned us that the oppression of the race in the South meant just what has come to us in the North: this bringing North of Southern political prejudices. With the Southern Democracy hounding him, the Northern Republicanism indifferent to his appeals as against the approach of domination by the South in the saddle, Democracy, and the colored people of the country without grasp of his great mission and work, he has kept right ahead. We know now that only through voice in government will the Southern colored man be able to protect himself, and we know that only through the overthrow of the South in the saddle Democracy, followed by an enforcement of the liberty guarantees of the American Constitution, can our race come into the full enjoyment of race rights. Disfranchisement was a blow to our people. Following its path rapidly increased the many forms of discriminations. Just as Manning says, we fight the resultants of the fundamental wrong and do not center our attack upon that denial of voice in government that is the breeding source of it all. Here is the fault of our leadership. The race ought to stand together in overthrowing this Southern domination. It ought to stand together in making public sentiment within the Republican party for world democracy enforced in this country. Its race manhood in the North ought to be felt by appeal and concerted influence exerted upon every Republican Congressman in the North and West. Agitation without intelligent direction is fruitless. Protests against segregation and discrimination is worthless except it rise up in laws. Given the voting rights, with no disfranchisement, a united colored race would mean that no element anywhere would dare insult and discriminate against our people. Our local leaders in the North, however, pass over this fundamental condition and play for campaign recognition, and for political recognition, rather than banding together our race for the freedom of the race from political slavery in the South and the wrongs that have traveled North as a result of it. Manning, the greatest exponent of human justice in this nation, is scarcely appreciated because he is not a man of means. Some of our leaders openly say they will follow men who have wealth, but not Manning, because he is poor. William Lloyd Garrison, Abraham Lincoln and others like them were as poor as Manning. It is folly, this attitude. My opinion is that we, as a race, had better find the way out and stand by principles and men who stand for them and encourage them. We had better look for liberty instead of immediate self-interest and personal promotion. A discouraging day is ahead of us if we continue to fail to see that what we want, first and foremost, is world democracy here as well as abroad. While our boys are fighting for world democracy over there, let us join Manning in his fight for that same principle over here, so that those who return may know that we were not unfaithful to the principles of liberty at home while they were fighting for the principles of world liberty over there. It is well and good to hold race meetings and to discuss conditions that best us, but why not appreciate the fact that Manning has, for years, been doing more than any other agency to get and to keep the real issue before the American people? Why fail to appreciate his appeals through the great press of the North and through his monthly, as well as his powerful addresses to important meetings? Why not encourage a work that has been and is effective and that reaches those who ought to hear? Why is it that many of us simply let this man go it alone and unaided? And I ask it, with regret, why is it that some, to line their own pockets with campaign money, have sought to discredit this friend of our race? We know that it is true that Manning is the strongest spokesman of ballot rights and voice in government, equal rights for all, there is in this country, and we could have him heard as no man has been heard in this nation if the race united in backing him up. We fail to do it for the reason that most of us neglect our plain duty and many fail to grasp its importance to us as a race. Others do it because they think that Manning stands in their way as leaders and money grabbers. Here, at 45 Academy Street, Newark, this man is publishing a monthly that is a clarion note for democracy in America. His pen is as able as that of any man in the nation. Our people let him struggle along and throw their money away on "protests." What we want is protests and construction of justice with it. Will not, then, the men of the race join me and others in making this fight for world democracy here effective? Yours sincerely, J. T. Cheshire. 107 New Street. GREAT HAIR PREPARATION.

TAKE BURDEN FROM SOLDIERS Men in Service Are Often Disheartened by Distressing News From Home—Cheerful Letters From Folks Is Greatest Need. Washington.—The American Red Cross has issued the Red Cross Handbook. The book which is intended, among other things, to strengthen the morale of the people at home was written by W. Frank Persons, the director general of civilian relief of the American Red Cross. "Again and again word comes from overseas of men disheartened by bad news from home, making a brave effort to go on with their work but with no zest to it." Mr. Persons says. "It is the task of the home service sections of the Red Cross to see to it that there are in the families of these soldiers no anxieties or problems which are likely to get into letters and bring distress to the soldiers overseas and no loneliness which we could help meet here. Want Letters From Home. "Not comfort kits, nor even smokes will so warm the hearts of our boys as the letter from home saying that all is well and that the home service of the Red Cross is standing by." Mr. Persons recently returned from France where he organized the bureau of home service in the American Red Cross organization in that country. He asserted that his observations in France made him more firmly convinced than ever that proper conditions in the homes of soldiers and sailors and the maintenance of close contact between the men and their families was necessary to preserve the morale of the soldiers. "The fighting man wants to know all about what is going on at home," Mr. Persons continues. "He wants to know all the details about his family and then about his friends and his community generally. He wants to be kept in touch with local civil affairs and what is going on in his town and state. We are coming to see that this interest is a powerful support to a man's stamina. It keeps him sane and healthy. It braces him up to know that those with whom he has lived and who mean so much to him appreciate the sacrifice he is making. "Any worry about the condition of his dependents or relatives tends to put a soldier into a condition where he is subject to shell shock. I have this on the authority of eminent specialists who are dealing with such cases in the military hospitals. A soldier who is untouched by bullet or shell may, from shell shock, return to his trench in such nervous condition as to require hospital treatment and a long rest. The best insurance against this serious by-product of modern warfare, the physicians say, is for the man to go over the top or meet a charge in a buoyant, untroubled frame of mind in which his sole concern is the grim business at hand. Cheerful letters from home help to produce the proper mental attitude, but confidence that the home folks lack for nothing is an essential foundation. Red Cross Will Help. "Soldiers become concerned when letters fall to come regularly, anxious and uneasy when disquieting rumors arrive, and worried and distraught when they learn of troubles at home. An American commander at the front and a leading military surgeon in Paris both stated that the Red Cross could do nothing more important from a military point of view than to maintain the welfare of the homes of our fighting men. "There can be no more certain means of steadying his morale than to give him the assurance that, whatever may happen to his folks at home the home service section of the Red Cross chapter in his own town may be depended upon to act promptly, sympathetically and adequately to maintain the comfort and peace of mind of those he has left behind. "Home service must be as reliable and as considerable, as capable and as effective in helping soldiers' and sailors' families as is the trust company that looks after their worldly goods. That is just what home service should be—a huge trust company on which the soldier may rely." HUNS ARE POOR FIGHTERS Pittsburgh Man Writes: That Americans Are Superior in Every Way. Pittsburgh, Pa.—More evidence that the German as a fighter is inferior to the American is shown in a letter from Capt. J. J. Firestone to friends here: "My theories of the German army have taken a complete change," he testifies, and I positively, without prejudice, have a great admiration for the superiority of the American army. Our boys have initiative and are a great deal braver. The officers of the enemy no doubt have had longer training than ours, but it ends there. The common soldiers or enlisted men are not to be compared with ours."

NEGRO DIES AT AGE OF 147 Answers Intelligently All Questions Put to Him About Revolutionary Times. New York—Claiming to be one hundred and forty-seven years old, William Masios, a negro preacher, died here recently after being admitted to Bellevue hospital. He answered all questions put to him by the incredulous doctors about Revolutionary times, and his answers were so intelligent that the hospital authorities put him on record as being of that age—the oldest patient ever admitted to the hospital. He told the doctors that Uncle Sam is about to bring the draft age up to forty-five, but that he could give away a hundred years and still be over the draft age. Neighbors say he was born in Richmond, Va., in 1771. HUNS ORGANIZE GAS MEN FOR "AFTER WAR" With the French Army in France.—A German order recently found on the battlefield requests the different units to furnish lists of officers and men who have shown aptitude in the gas section and "who desire to continue in that service after the war." The order invites even mutilated soldiers whose infirmities do not incapacitate them for this work to send in their names. CHAIN GUNNERS IN TREE Huns Had to Be Tied Up When Americans Attacked Them In Bel- Washington. — Edward Hunn; a wounded American soldier back from France and convalescing at Walter Reed hospital here, declared that he had seen German machine, gunners chained to trees in the battle of Belleau wood, where American marines so distinguished themselves. "My company was one of the first to advance at Belleau wood," he said. "We had got up to the hill through a thick underbrush, and German machine gunners above us sent many of our fellows 'west.' We got near the Germans and I saw some of them in trees firing their machine guns at us. "It was about this time that I was wounded. My company was ordered to fall back and wait until morning." "The next morning our fellows took that section of Belleau wood. Twenty-six machine guns were taken, and the fellows told me that the men I saw in the trees had to be unchained before their bodies could be buried." SEE MENACE IN AIRPLANE Aged Chicago Woman Hurt by Oil Can Falling From the Sky. Chicago.—A dreadful glimpse into the future is to be sighted in the fate of Mrs. Susan Tingley, ninety-three years old, of Rushville, Ind., who was badly hurt when an oil can fell from the sky as she was sitting in her yard. The theory is that it fell from an airplane. Now think of the day when the fliver of the air becomes as common as a tinelizabeth. Fancy going into the backyard only to be smitten on the brow by a couple of pounds of beefsteak and a tricycle which father was bringing home when his machine tilted a little. Peace? Some might think war preferable.

St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 12.—Complaint has been made by the colored laborers in the Quartermaster's Department at the Arsenal that three-foot "Jim-Crow" signs have been placed over or near the doors to toilets designating certain ones to be used for colored. These signs are in the recently completed building, where there are about 200 colored men employed. They were put up about a week ago, it is stated, and are in no other building at the Arsenal. Men in the building point to the coming of Captain Daugherty from Arkansas, three weeks ago, to take charge. They claim that Daugherty is bitterly prejudiced against Neg- roes, and the signs have only been put up since he took charge. A colored clerk, named Short, the only one at the Arsenal, was discharged about ten days after Captain Daugherty's arrival. Short came here from Washington. It is claimed that he was discharged at one time by Daugherty in Arkansas. One of the men who refused to submit to the discriminations stated to the Argus that 15 or 20 men have left the department, and those who remain are drafting a protest to the department headquarters at Washington. It is stated that the first man to quit did so Friday noon, October 4. after he had been told by Lieutenant Johnson that he would kick any "black" out of a toilet for whites who he saw going in. The affair has been referred to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. ```markdown ``` CONCENTRATION Leads To Great Success And The Realization of Your Wishes In Everything To improve your health, be great, better your condition and become successful, you must possess the "Power of Concentration."
