THE WISCONSIN State Historical Library MILWAUKEE SELECTS BIDDEN GODSPEED Four score selectmen were bidden Godspeed at a meeting in St. Mark's A, M. E. Church, Thursday night and Saturday morning, led by a brass band organized for the occasion by Mr. James Like from among local musicians and escorted by almost the entire colored population. They marched to the depot to entrain for Camp Custer. The Church was packed to the doors for the exercises. The 7th Regimental orchestra, W. S. G., furnished music; the Red Cross distributed comfort kits and a supper was served the men in the church parlors by the Phyllis Wheatley Art Club, Woman's Improvement Club and other women's clubs. The committee in charge of the affair consisted of J. G. Thurman, R. H. Baylor, Hon. L. H. Palmer, Mrs. R. B. Montgomery, Mrs. R. Logan, Dr. A. L. Herron, Rev. S. Russell, Dr. T. A. Boger, Rev. Dr. J. O. Morley, Rev. Fr. Stephen; Rev. W. S. Ferguson and G. H. DeReef. George H. DeReef presided and introduced the speakers. Joseph S. Smith, chairman of the military extension division of the county council of defense; William J. Kershaw and the Rev. J. O. Morley, pastor of the church. Chairman Smith explained the aims of the extension division of the council of defense and pledged its best efforts to keep the men in direct touch with Milwaukee, as it is doing with 11,000 Milwaukee soldiers already "over there," and its assistance for members of their families at all times while the men were fighting for the flag. Have Glorious Mission "You have a glorious mission," said Mr. Kershaw. "You are carrying with you a greater message than Jehovah gave the people through the prophets of Israel—a message of freedom and liberty to the oppressed peoples of the world. In the civil war Wisconsin played a great part and the noble women of the state ploughed the fields and sowed the grain and reaped the crops while their men were fighting to preserve the union. You, the descendants of those for whom those men and women suffered in the civil war, are now to go forward with their descendants and the descendants of those who held your race in bondage to destroy that autocracy which aims to hold the whole world in subjection. "You are going forth to uphold the honor of your country and to defend the homes and firesides of Wisconsin and we who are left behind have it as our mission to see that a strong and hearty and American welcome is awaiting you when you return to a better, stronger and more ulorious America, which will result from this struggle. No other nation in the history of the world has done for humanity what this nation has done and is doing, and it is your high privilege to have a great part in it." Credit to Black Race The pastor of the church, closing the tribute of respect and gratitude to the departing selectmen, said it would go down in history to the everlasting credit of the black race that in all the wars this country has experienced its men had borne their part bravely and patiently and had always been true and loyal. "You go forth now to fight and to suffer for the Stars and Stripes, the flag which flies at the masthead of the world tonight," he said. "Play your part; acquit yourselves like men, so when the history of the world is written it may be said the American negro was ready to lay down his life for democracy, and when you return may you find a new America, free from mobocracy, the Jim Crowism of the past and the prejudice from which you have suffered at times. Remember that the God of nations and of battles will be watching you. May He protect you and keep you." Saturday morning the procession formed at 3rd and State Sts., to which point the various draft VOL. III. Speakers Praise Race Credit to Black Race and Household of Ruth. boards had brought their men. The proprietors of the Turf Hotel distributed freely nearly 500 American flags.' Amongg the nearly a thousand who marched we noted the following: Dr. A. L. Herron, Attorneys Thurman and DeReef leading; Frank Weaver, carrying a large American flag; Rev. J. O. Morley and wife; Dr. T. A. Boger, Ralph Sanford, Jas. Like, Messrs. Paschall, Green, Barber in the band; Mmes. R. B. Montgomery, J. W. Roach, J. F. Alexander, Messrs. Ed. Monroe, John Malone; Misses Juanita Herron, Cecelia Phillips, Nellie Smith, and a host of others too numerous to mention. It was in every sense a representative gathering and reflected credit upon the men leaving as well as upon the populace remaining. The procession was more than three blocks long and elicited much favorable comment in the city. At the station the County Council of Defense had provided another band, and the two gave a continuous concert until the train pulled out. The National League for Woman's Service and the Red Cross distributed cheer packages of candy, fruit, chocolate and tobacco. As the train pulled out the whistles blew, and Our Boys were on their first lap to Berlin. Birmingham, Ala.—Ever since it was a town the people of Cullman, about forty miles north of Birmingham, with a present population of some 4,000, refused to permit Negroes to live within its limits. It never had a Negro resident and the black man has been strictly prohibited from appearing within its borders after dark. The town is largely populated by people of German descent, though no question has arisen as to their loyalty to the United States since this country's entrance into the war. Cullman became rich from trucking and fruit culture. It shipped more products of this kind than any other town of its size in the south and became famous for this industry. But the Negroes of a part of Cullman county, who were prohibited from living or staying in the town, have put one over on their white exclusives in loyalty by a higher record in the purchase of War Savings stamps. NEGROES IN THE LEAD Patriotism—It Can't Be Measured By Color. Here's Proof. During the recent drive Cullman county failed to reach its quota. The amount subscribed in the county so far is about $151,000. The sum allotted was $644,880. The only Negro community in the county was set apart as a separate district with a Negro chairman. This district has already subscribed $1,640, which is $140 more than its quota, and has gone out to double this amount before next January, with every prospect of success. This record is regarded as a feather in the cap of the Negroes in the only community in Cullman county where the black man is not permitted to live. AN APPRECIATION A Card of Thanks from Somewhere in France. Milwaukee—Last fall, a committee, on behalf of the Colored citizens of this city, contributed through the Milwaukee Sentinel to "Our Boys in France Tobaec Fund" the sum of $5.00.

It is eminently fitting from time to time to call attention to our various business institutions, the work and progress of different business men.

MILWAUKEE -- MADISON -- BELOIT IS GRAND MASTER MORRIS AN AUTOCRAT Ben Davis and His Followers The Greatest Organizer in the Order The announced intention of the so-called Ben J. Davis faction in the Grand United Oorder of Odd Fellows, to assemble in a B. M. C. meeting at New York in September, in defiance to the calling off of a B. M. C. meeting by Grand Master Morris, has aroused greater interest among colored Odd Fellows than has been known for years. That this unyielding spirit, dominant among the so-called Davis faction, will lead to litigation in the court, few doubt, but if that litigation removes the reputed cloud on the title of one, and establishes the legality of the other, it may result in conserving the interests of the "common people"—the sustaining members of the Order who have no quarrel, and whose interests can not be safeguarded by a prolonged unadjusted internecine strife. The action of Grand Exalted Ruler of the Colored Elks, Armond W. Scott, in refusing to call off the annual meeting of his Order, although the majority of the lodges had voted to call off this year's annual meeting, for fear it might cast a cloud upon another term for him, to which he would not have been duly elected, is a striking contrast to the action of Grand Master Morris, of the Odd Fellows, who would, by the calling off of his order's bi-ennial meeting, give to himself another term Mr. Morris has been signally honored by his order. He has held office of some description in the national body for twenty-eight years. He has held the office of Grand Master for four consecutive terms, and previous to that, for two consecutive terms. Should he, by virtue of holding over for another term, because he had called off this year's biennial meeting, continue for two years longer, it would give him five consecutive terms, which added to his previous consecutive terms, would total seven terms—fourteen years as Grand Master. Such prolongation of official life for one man in any order becomes nothing less or more than a means of stagnant enthusiasm, ambition and aspiration among the rank and file—the common-sustaining people without whose co-operation no order can exist. Even Grand Master Morris, and his loyal benchmen, must admit that under his past 5 consecutive administrations the order has alarmingly deteriorated—both in membership and finances. The Order today is but a skeleton of its once proud, useful and beneficient state. When an order, or any institution, continues to decline under the administration of any man, or set of men, the surgical Knife of drastic action should be called into use, and the retarding element removed. The interests of the many is of more vital concern than the interests of a few. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows should not be permitted to decline—to become an ineffectual medium for the greatest good to the greatest number simply to appease the inordinate selfish ambition of any one man, or set of men. The thousands of financial Colored Odd Fellows who have been for years pouring their money into the order to provide for them, or their dependents with sick and death benefits the order guarantees, and for which it was established, owe it to themselves to choose between decline and revivification. "The man in the street"—the common people—the sustaining members who toil and support, but who do not quarrel and squander the Order's treasury, ought to rise up and either cease pouring their hard-carned money into a rat hole, or stop up the bung through which it is flowing, without good to them. Seven terms as Grand Master means that Mr. Morris has drawn out of the Order's treasury as salary alone $12,000. Expenses for European trips, for constitutionally authorized attendance at the 7,000 Members. NO 11. meetings of the Sub-Committee of Management, etc., etc., will total, perhaps, during Mr. Morris' twenty eight years in office, to at least $12,000 more. Now, the question is, has he rendered commensurate service? If so, no one can begrudge these emoluments which became a burden upon thousands of poor members of the order. Another question which, like Banquo's ghost will not down, is: "Is he worth $1,200 in annual salary, and approximately $500 per annum for constitutionally authorized trips when the order is fast hitting the trail of decline?"

DANE COUNTY FAIR TO OFFER WAR TIME PROGRAM Annual Exhibit to be Held Latter Part of August Free Attractions and Other Features Good wholesome recreation and entertainment have been prescribed by President Wilson for the people of America during the period of the war, and following out this idea the Dane county fair this year offers a wartime program that will be a good tonic for everyone. Coming on August 28, 29 and 30, the fair will interfere but little with the war program on the farm, and in any event the farmer can well afford to take a day off and come to the fair for the good he will gain from selling the exhibits and the chance he will have to talk things over with his friends and neighbors.

WILCOX FOR GOVERNOR We shall support Senator Roy P. Wileox for Governor because we believe he better represents the principles for which we stand than any other candidate now in the field. On the great questions of the day his record is an open book; from the stump he has given abundant expressions to vouch for his unqualified loyalty to the state and nation. He favors extending the right to vote to women equally with men and on the liquor question he is willing to submit it by referendum to the people of the state for final decision. Upon those questions that affect the Colored people peculiarly, he has always stood with the right. He was a member of the Committee of the Senate which considered the so-called Bennett Bill prohibiting the intermarriage of the AMERICAN CITIZENS If you are a male person, 21 years of age, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Wisconsin for one year, you possess the qualification of a voter. To cast your vote, however, you must first register. If you have not already done so, do not delay. Go at once to the proper place, the office of the Election Commission, and enroll yourself as a MAN. You may have been compelled to register under the Selective Service Law. There is no compulsion about this except such as is born of your own consciousness of the force, the power, the dignity of exercising in full the rights of AMERICAN CITIZENS. And after you have registered SLAVERY NOT YET SETTLED? A big question cannot be settled in a day. If Washington, Lincoln or McKinley were here today they would say that much to you. One of the big questions is slavery, which is not yet fully settled. I believe the right to vote and citizenship was given too soon to the Negro. It is a serious question.

In personal conversation with the writer he has very forcefully declared himself for fair and just treatment toward the Negro. In his platform recently issued over his name he declares that "if elected governor, no appointment will be made by me on political, social, racial, religious or any other ground, except that of securing the utmost of ability, character and service for the state." We believe that if elected he will give to the State of Wisconsin a most excellent administration, and to all the people, regardless of race or other affiliation, fair, just and equal treatment. For these reasons we shall support him to the utmost of our powers. study the various candidates who solicit your votes, and then support those you believe that represent your ideals. Let no other consideration move you; stand firm to your convictions until you are convinced otherwise—yet be open to reason. And, above all, put your ideals so high that the candidate who reaches them will prove himself a credit to your support. Do this and you will fully measure up to your rights and opportunities and thereby prove yourself worthy additions to the electorate of this great Commonwealth and in true sense AMERICAN CITIZENS. Negro must be educated and improved in many ways. He knows very little about business or how to manage a government. It will be a very slow process to educate him.

DISEASE AND BATTLE MORTALITY COMPARED IN THE PRESENT AND PREVIOUS AMERICAN WARS DISEASE AND BATTLE MORTALITY COMPARED IN THE PRESENT AND PREVIOUS AMERICAN WARS UNITED STATES BATTLE AND DISEASE DEATH RATES PER 1,000 PER YEAR (Source of information: Comparative Mortality of Disease and Battle Casualties (seaman prize essay), Capt. L. C. Duncan, U. S. A. Battle Rate Disease rate Mexican War, 1846—1848 Civil War, 1861—5 (North) Spanish War, 1898 Present War (A.E.F.) Sept. 1917-June 1918 0 25 50 75 100 In the Mexican War, as is shown by the above diagram prepared by the statistical branch of the executive division of the General staff, more than seven American soldiers died of disease to every soldier killed in battle. Eleven in every hundred fell victims to imperfect sanitation. In the armies of the North during the Civil War the battle mortality increased more than 100 per cent over the Mexican War average, while the mortality from disease was reduced nearly 85 per cent; but the disease mortality was still nearly double the battle mortality. The Spanish-American War witnessed a reversal of the downward curve, with more than five deaths of disease to each death in battle. But during the first 10 months of American participation in the present war the records of the American Expeditionary Forces show an exact parity between the battle mortality and disease mortality, with a combind mortality which, if projected throughout a year, would be only a little more than half of the battle mortality and less than a third of the disease mortality of the Civil War. 106 NURSES ENROLLED IN MADISON Dane County Goes Over the Top in Drive Ended Saturday The two weeks' campaign for nurses closed Saturday with the result that 106 young women of Dane county have registered as applicants.

WESTERN UNION MEN RECEIVE INCREASE IN WAGES It was announced in New York Monday that a general increase of 10 per cent in wages to all employees of the Western Union Telegraph company, belonging to the association recently organized by the telegraph company had been decided upon. The increase, retroactive from July 1, applies to about 45,000 workers. INCREASE IN WAGES The railroad administration in Washington has just announced that shopmen employed by the Pullman company in the operating division, now controlled by the government, are to receive the same wage advances as railroad shopmen, effective Aug. 1. SAMUEL THURINGER 85 YEARS OLD Samul Thuringer, 315 North Pinckney street, who has been a resident of this city for the last 58 years and was actively engaged in business for over half a century, celebrated his 85th birthday Saturday. He is now retired having turned over his interests to his sons, Ignate and Charles Thuringer. Mr. Thuringer was born near Cologne, Germany, August 10, 1833. He came to America when 17 years old and lived in New York for 10 years before coming to Madison. WISCONSIN Eau Claire—Upon recommendation of the Council of Defense the board of education has abolished the German course from the curriculum. Oshkosh—Representative James H. Davidson of Oshkosh, Wis., died of heart failure. He was a member of the military committee of the house, was 60 years old, and was serving his ninth term in congress. Milwaukee—Margaret E. Russell, daughter of the late William C. Russell and a member of one of Milwaukee's wealthy families, is the wife of Louis Stevens, one time owner of a shoe shining parlor on Third street and now a teacher of modern dancing. The wedding took place at Waukegan, Ill. Saturday, a week ago. The bridegroom says that it was a run away wedding and that he had wooed Miss Russell for nearly 3 years before she consented to marry him. He says he met Miss Russell through giving dancing lessons. She is 19 years old and he is 27. The bride's relatives had opposed the marriage. Milwaukee—August Capelle, 42 years old, a car clerk whose legs were cut off when he was struck by a train in the Canal street yards of the Milwaukee road late Tuesday afternoon died in Milwaukee hospital the following day as the result of his injuries.

The intensive training which is fast bringing them up to the mark of their comrades who have been longer at practice on the range. Every day is a busy day at the range, and the firing is almost continual, often beginning early enough to arouse the citizens from their peaceful morning sleep. Rhinelander—Joro Huart is serving ninety days at hard labor in the county jail because he was convicted of using language against the government. He was arrested by Sheriff Hans Rodd, and though he pleaded not guilty, evidence was sufficient to convict him. Milwaukee—Gen. F. C. Winkler, in a letter made public Sat- urday, indorses the candidacy of Governor Philipp for re-election. The letter is as follows: "I am emphatically non-partisan. The question of democrat or republican has no place in my mind at the present time. In ordinary times a man of good judgment and good purposes will make an acceptable governor. But in these days the familiarity with duty, resulting from experience, is of infinite value. I am, therefore, highly pleased that, you have concluded to be a candidate for re-election. I know of no state executive who, during the past years, has given the national administration a more thorough and effective support than you have. I shall, therefore, do what little I can to promote your re-election." Baraboo—Frank Porter, employed at the postoffice at Portage, narrowly escaped drowning while swimming with several Portage young men at Devil's lake. He dove in the lake and did not come to the surface. The body was taken from the water by Dr. Irwin and it was some time before Porter revived. He was brought to the Baraboo hospital where he still remains in a serious condition. Eau Claire—J. J.
