Harry Ballard, showing the effects of his recent severe illness, but on a fair road to complete recovery, accompanied by his wife, was at church on Sunday last to the delight of his many friends. Mrs. O. W. Horton was a visitor here over Decoration Day. Mr. L. E. Chase, chiropodist, was recently taken to the Emergency Hospital suffering from acid poisoning said to have been taken in a suicidal attempt. After being pumped out he went home to the wonder of the physicians, who say he had taken sufficient to kill ten men. Mr. Charles S. Cuney, attorney of Washington, D. C., was a recent business visitor to the city. Dr. Allen of Muirdale Sanitarium is now an officer of the Medical Reserve Corps and looks the part in his new uniform. He was recently visited by Dr. Frank Allen, his brother, of Pittsburg, Pa. The Blade aims to be of service to you, if not now, when you need it most. A charming and unassuming young lady of the younger set is Miss Lois Johnson of 415 Cherry St.

tee of the Central Council of Social Agencies. The purpose is to ascertain the true conditions confronting the colored people here with a view to improving them. His task is being lightened by white and colored people alike. St. Mark's Red Cross Auxiliary presented to the Church, as representing the Colored Colony, a service flag of 22 stars in recognition of "Our Boys" in the service of the country. Interesting exercises were conducted in which Mrs. Steward of Evanston, Pres. Mite Miss. Society of Chicago Conference, Mimes. R. H. Baylor, R. A. Gant, J. O. Morley Winn, Messrs. Jas. Burke, Howard, DeReef and Dr. Morley participated. The Blade is always on sale at Sam's Place, 316 4th St. and at Scott's Newstand, 283 4th St.
RELOIT, WIS
(Blade News Service.)
Less than two years ago the Emannuel Baptist Church was organized in Beloît with about 21 members. Since that time the Church has steadily grown in numbers, influence and usefulness. The officers and members are working night and day preparatory to entering their own church home by July 1st at the corner of St. Paul Ave. and Short St. The deal was successfully handled by the Trustees and Pastor. Plans are now in operation for the occupancy. The social given by the W. M. S. at the St. Paul Restaurant, 449 St. Paul Ave. was a grand success. Mrs. Pauline Hoffkan of St. Paul Ave. is visiting in Racine this week. Mr. John Monemus has returned from Michigan where he went to bury his father. Many girls of the race are now employed at the Steam Laundry on Grand Ave. If they make good other vocations will be open to them. Our people should quit talking about what we did down home and do something here.
We wish to congratulate the Blade upon its successful completion of another twelve months in the field of Journalism. We feel that it has not only been a help to the race and a credit to the State, but it has earned its rights to live and to enter every home in the State and Nation. So here is ours for continued success and endless existence.

The following letter received from Lieut. J. A. Hall, better known to Milwaukeeans as "Johnny Hall", may be of interest to our readers:

Well, as you must know by this time we are Somewhere in France. Of information I can give you but very little. France, as much as I have seen, is a wonderfully beautiful country, and the people very friendly. As France has needed us for a long time, and that too, very badly, you may imagine that we are as welcome as the flowers in May after a severely hard winter. The people have received us with open arms and with an enthusiasm in remarkable contrast to what we are accustomed.
There are no able-bodied men here not bearing arms and few children under 3 years of age. The old men, women and children do all of the work and that, too, willingly.
With us tobacco is very short and if some good old American tobacco and cigars of any quality found its way to our camp, we would bless the sender for all time. In the meanwhile, remember me kindly to all friends and acquaintances.

GATHER TOGETHER, O, COLORED AMERICA!
O, there is a noble power in a great race or group of people, assembling together for those things of which the race or group is unjustly denied. And great is the power of such a meeting. O, Colored America, you can be respected, you can cause your enemies to take pause, if now while your race is spilling its blood for white men in Europe, you will go from all parts of the Republic to the National Capital for your rights and world democracy for your race. Gather together from East and West and North and South of the U. S. A. at the Seat of Government, ye who actually suffer injustices such as none other suffer in this "land of the free", in the

And arrived Somewhere in France,
We are going to railroad "some-

At "Somewhere" we also sleep,
We receive our mail at "Some-

Owning as they do property to the value of a billion dollars, no one has the right to say colored men shall not fight in its defense, have asked for all the colored soldiers available He must know their value.
A speaker at Vizay's Hall, Milwaukee, declared "that there was only one flag which was not stained with the lives of innocent Jews and that is the Stars and Stripes." Maybe those who engage in the pastime of staining flags with "innocent lives" was too busy using the "innocent lives" of Negroes
Scissord Thoughts
Amiens may fall. The British army may be beaten back home. The French may be eliminated. Italy crushed and all the little nations struggling for freedom be bound. But America must hold fast to faith! Her soul is for human liberty. Into her records she has engraved "In God We Trust". The right, liberty, fellow love are God's own. America may not know His will or understand His methods, but she must hold fast to her faith. —South. Christian Reorder
A Negro has won the international prize for riveting. As history goes it is not such a long time. In the darkest hour of civilization's rejuvenation, she must believe, she must believe! since Abraham Lincoln won the international prize for unriveting, and the Negro was a central figure then.—Louisville Herald.
Men who wish to serve their country must get hold of higher ideals than mob law; that America has dedicated itself to a war for humanity and humanity cannot be glorified by mobs that go about hanging vietims, or painting houses yellow, or compelling ignorantuses to kiss the flag. "We need sanity as well as patriotism."
—Nashville Globe.
Those who opposed the use of American soldiers in France surely see by this time what a fatal blunder it would have been to permit France and England to be beaten and then fight the central empires alone. Spokesmen of the German government are talking about the vast indemnities they propose to levy on the adversaries of the kaiser. If Germany gets
LEST WE FORGET
We wish to inform everyone while the Colored soldiers are going over on the other side to teach the Huns democracy. They are not closing their eyes to the indignities heaped upon them.
The present contest is beautifully illustrating the fact that both races are inseparably blended together. All races, faiths, and classes have interests inter-related and interdependent. There is a prevalent idea our greatness consists in material things, and in the educational development of the citizenry. The true measurement is for the race more highly blessed with material things to share with the poor, the humble—the unfortunate brother in black. The Colored people are not asking special favor and does not crave any. Only want an equal chance on equal basis with other Americans, and not anything in our past record indicates other than our people will give good account of themselves.
If clothed with responsibility, into position to impose indemnities the people of the United States would be impoverished for a full generation in paying the debt.—National Republican.
Few, if any Negroes start life with a great impetus from his forbears and the success he makes is wholly an individual effort to do what others have done, and not what has been transmitted to him from some parental success. And indeed it does seem that the Negro youth, whose parents have made commendable headway in the grooves, is inclined to develop a disposition to retrograde, instead of improving on what the parents had accomplished.
—Newport News Star.
Your money is needed to carry on the war. This is your war. We are fighting to defend your rights, to protect your homes, to uphold the honor of your nation, to save all that is near and dear to you. We are fighting because with no sort of self-respect could we remain neutral or indifferent.
The Colored man who operates grocery store, confectionery, woodyard, shoe shop, restaurant or any other enterprise will succeed if you patronize him. If he succeeds he will employ some of the young Colored people in the town to help him. The white man with whom you spend your money, employs (except as porter) white boys and girls. We do not blame him. He should not turn his boy away for your boy. Here's a lesson. Learn it. —Dallas Express.
"Ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints."—Faint not, but stand up in the strength of your manhood; hold fast to your integrity. You are not responsible for your black skin, remember, color has nothing to do with you being a man. Be loyal and patriotic to your country—Old Glory is your flag; you must fight for it, you must die for it. God is keeping tab on the wrongs done you, and at his own set time, he will deliver us. God is riding now—Behold the results of his riding every day.
—Galveston New Idea.
An unnaturalized German-American was recently lynched at Collinsville, Illinois, on the suspicion that he was disloyal. It would appear that no proof of his disloyalty has since been brought to light. Very naturally the Federal Government is highly exercised over the matter. It is reported that the Attorney General presented the matter to the Cabinet, which, if true, was very proper. This is probably the first time that so trifling a thing as the lynching of an individual was ever seriously considered at a Cabinet meeting. We have always thought that such acts of lawlessness were the proper subjects of Cabinet discussion and action. We hope this precedent augurs something for the future.
The practice of lynching should be stamped out by the authority of the Federal Government. Washington Bee.

in proportion as we have these responsibilities placed upon us, in like proportion will their experience broaden and their services in all lines reach a higher level of satisfaction.
One thing is self-evident now that the social problems of this country will never be solved by unfair laws and oppression, mobbing or segregating our people in the different sections. The cruel and inhuman burning and lynching are given impetuous to the spirit of unrest among our people. Injustice and unfairness will never satisfy any people.
The Bible standard is the right way of settling racial problems. Whatsoever ye would that men do unto you do ye also unto them. They cry for mercy and help in theses pinching times when they can scarcely keep soul and body together. Jesus says, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least ye have done it unto Mr."—Cadiz Reformer.

LET US REMEMBER
THAT our allies in the great world war depend upon
America for food as they have never depended be-
fore, and they ask us for it with a right which they have
never had before. Today they are our companions in a
great war for democracy ana liberty. They are doing
the fighting, the suffering, and dying in our war, and will
be carrying this burden for months to come. The decreas-
ing herds and the lack of fodder mean a steady falling off
in the dairy products of our allies. We must increase our
exports. Dairy butter has food values vital to cnildren.
Therefore, use it on the table as usual especially for chil-
dren. But use as little as possible in cooking, and reduce
the use of fried foods to reduce the consumption of lard
and other fats. Use vegetable oil, as olive and cotton
seed oil. Save daily one-third of an ounce of animal fat.
Waste no soap. It contains fat and glycerine necessary
for explosives. We must do our part at home in Wis-
consin while our soldiers are fighting at the front.
i the food animals of the allies have decreased
by 33,000,000 head since the war began. At the
same time the needs of their soldiers have steadily in-
creased. The allied armies and our own soldiers must
have meat. If we will save one ounce of meat per
person per day, we can solve the problem. Observe
meatless day on Tuesday and use less meat on other
days. This means a sacrifice but it will be a small one
for those of us who stay at home. We must not forget
that our soldiers are offering their lives if that becomes
necessary to win the war. Wisconsin has set the pace
for other states during the war. Let us make another
record in this important effort—the conservation of food.
THAT a part of the problem of those of us who stay at
home is to help our allies this winter by sending
them as much food as we can of the most concentrated
nutritive value in the least shipping space. Our exports
must be increased. The foods they will need are wheat,
beef, pork, mutton, dairy products and sugar. Observe
wheatless day on Wednesday. Use corn, oats, rye, bar-
ley, or mixed cereal rolls, muffins, and breads in place of
white bread on Wednesdays, and on other days if possi-
ble. Eat less cake and pastry. On days when you eat
white bread, if you buy from a baker, order a day in
advance. The baker then will not bake beyond his
needs. Cut the loaf on the table and only as desired.
Use stale bread for toast and cooking. This will be help-
ing Wisconsin do her share in winning the war.
i one way in which we can help win the war is to
eat less of the food which our armies will need in the
field and more of the foods of which we have an abun-
dance and to waste less of all foods. We must increase
the exports of our food products made from milk. Use
all of the milk. Waste no part of it. The children must
have whole milk, therefore, use less cream. There is a
great waste of food by not using all skim and sour milk.
Sour milk can be used in cooking and to make cottage
cheese. Use butter-milk and cheese freely. The Amer-
ican people are not being asked to starve themselves.
Eat plenty, but wisely, and without waste. But do your
part to help Wisconsin save food for the nation.
THT every flag that flies opposite the German one
is by proxy the American flag, and that the armies
fighting in our defense under these flags cannot be main-
tained through this winter unless there is food enough
for them and for their women and children at home.
There can only be food enough if Arserica provides it.
And America can only provide it by the personal service
and patriotic co-operation of all of us. Wisconsin must
do her part. To save meat we must use more poultry,
rabbits and especially fish and sea food in place of beef,
mutton and pork. Observe meatless day every Tuesday.
On other days do not use either beef, mutton or pork
more than once daily. Use all left over meat, cold or
in made dishes. Use soups more freely. Use beans.
They have nearly the same food value as meat.
T HAT the men of the allied nations are fighting. They
are not on the farms. The production of food by the
countries that are fighting with us in the war has, there-
fore, been greatly reduced. Even before the war it was
much less than the amount consumed. The difference
came from America and a few other countries. Now this
difference is greater than ever and at the same time but

(From the English Review)
How still this quiet cornfield is tonight;
By an intenser glow the evening falls,
Bringing, not darkness, but a deeper light;
Among the stooks a partridge covey calls.
The windows glitter on the distant hill;
Beyond the hedge the sheep-bells in the fold
Stumhle on sudden music and are still;
The forlorn pinewoods droop above the wold.
An endless, quiet valley reaches out
Past the blue hills into the evening sky;
Over the stubble, cawing, goes a rout
Of rooks from harvest, flagging as they fly.
So beautiful it is I never saw
So great a beauty on these English fields
Touched, by the twilight's coming, into awe,
Ripe to the soul and rich with summer's yields.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
These homes, this valley spread below me here,
The rooks, the tilted stacks, the beasts in pen,
Have been the heartfelt things, past-speaking dear
To unknown generations of dead men,
Who, century after century, held these farms,
And, looking out to watch the changing sky,
Heard, as we hear, the rumors and alarms
Of war at hand and danger pressing nigh,
And knew, as we know, that the message meant
The breaking-off of ties, the loss of friends,
Death like a miser getting in his rent
And no new stones laid where the trackway ends.
The harvest not yet won, the empty bin,
The friendly horses taken from the stalls,
The fallow on the hill not yet brought in,
The cracks unplastered in the leaking walls;
Yet heard the news, and went discouraged home,
And brooded by the fire with heavy mind,
With such dumb loving of the Berkshire loam
As breaks the dumb hearts of the English kind.
Then sadly rose and left the well-loved Downs
And so, by ship to sea, and knew no more
The fields of home, the byres, the market towns,
Nor the dear outline of the English shore.
But knew the misery of the soaking trench,
The freezing in the rigging, the despair
In the revolting second of the wrench
When the blind soul is flung upon the air,
And died (uncouthly, most) in foreign lands
For some idea but dimly understood
Of an English city never built by hands,
Which love of England prompted and made good.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
If there be any life beyond the grave
It must be near the men and things we love,
Some power of quick suggestion how to save
Touching the living soul as from above,
An influence from the earth from those dead hearts
So passionate once, so deep, so truly kind,
That in the living child the spirit starts
Feeling companioned still, not left behind.
Surely above these fields a spirit broods,
A sense of many watchers muttering near,
Of the lone Downland with the forlorn woods
Loved to the death, inestimably dear.
A muttering from beyond the veils of Death
From long dead men, to whom this quiet scene
Came among blinding tears with the last breath,
The dying soldier's vision of his queen.
All the unspoken worship of those lives
Spent in forgotten wars at other calls
Glimmers upon these fields where evening drives
Beauty like breath so gently darkness falls.
Darkness that makes the meadows holier still,
The elm trees sadden in the hedge, a sigh
Moves in the beech-clump on the haunted hill,
The rising planets deepen in the sky.
And silence broods like spirit on the brae;
A glimmery moon begins, the moonlight runs
Over the grasses of the ancient way,
Rutted this morning by the passing guns.
—JOHN MASEFIELD.
THE CHOICE
The American spirit speaks:
To the Judge of Right and Wrong
With Whom fulfillment lies
Our purpose and our power belong,
Our faith and sacrifice.
Let Freedom's land rejoice!
Our ancient bonds are riven;
Once more to us the eternal choice
Of good or ill is given.
Not at a little cost,
Hardly by prayer or tears,
Shall we recover the road we lost
In the drugged and doubting years.
But after the fires and the wrath,
But after searching and pain,
His Mercy opens us a path
To live with ourselves again.
In the Gates of Death rejoice!
We see and hold the good—
Bear witness, Earth, we have made our choice
For Freedom's brotherhood.
Then praise the Lord Most High
Whose Strength hath saved us whole,
Who bade us choose that the Flesh should die
And not the living Soul!
