VOL. III. ODD FELLOWS DEFY RULING OF SUB-COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT Members of Well-Known Order Take High Ground Against Action of G. M. Morris and Colleagues. Will Convene B. M. C. Session in New York City, According to General Law and Wishes of the People Monday, Sept. 9—Ask Lodges to Send Delegates. New York, Aug. 28—What is destined to be one of the bitterest fights waged by the members of any organization whether civic, fraternal, religious or political, is that which faces the members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America. For years the members of the executive body known as the Sub-Committee of Management (the members of which are elected at session of the Biennial Movable Committee), have been terrorizing the members of the various subordinate lodges throughout the jurisdiction, to so great an extent that they now seek to spread the German spirit of Kaiserism in their every act. The most recent ruling of the Board of the Sub-Committee of Management which consists of nine men, is the order seeking to nullify the convening of the Nineteenth B. M. C. which was scheduled to meet in the City of New York on Monday, Sept. 9. According to the General Laws of the Order, Law V. Sections 1, 2 and 3, the delegates elected by each subordinate lodge shall comprise the members of the B. M. C. and they shall decide the day and date, time and place of each succeeding biennial session. The members of the Sub-Committee of Management being elected by the delegates to the various B. M. C.'s, are purely the creatures of such, and therefore have no rights whatever in ordering the postponement of a session that was fixed by the B. M. C. in convention assembled. With the hope of carrying into effect their personal ambitions which plainly show evidences of German Kultur, the members of the Sub-Committee, headed by Grand Master Edward H. Morris, through the Odd Fellows Journal (the official organ of the order) issued a mandate last January tending to call off the session of the Nineteenth B. M. C. With the country thrown into the World's War when the Allied Forces are fighting for Government of the People and by the People, think of Governor of the State, or the President of the Unitide States sending forth such a proclamation to the people of the electorate saying that as a war measure, there shall be no election of State or National officers. Any such order promulgated by the State's or Nation's Chief Executive making themselves perpetual office holders would be contrary to the merits of the Constitution of the United States, and serve as just cause for rebellion. The members of the Order in certain sections of the country, have therefore risen in righteous wrath, and are determined to hold the Nineteenth B. M. C. during the week beginning Sept. 9 next. New York News. JANESVILLE, WIS. Mrs. Henry White and daughter Marie spent Wednesday in Rockford, visiting Camp Grant. They were guests at a dinner dance at the soldier club. They were accompanied by the Mrs. Ethel Williams of Chicago, who was their week-end guest. Private Henry Robinson of Camp Grant spent Sunday in Janesville. OUSTED FROM COUNCIL OF DEFENSE James M. Pierce, publisher of The Iowa Homstead and The Wisconsin Farmer was expelled from the Iowa state council of defense for his utterances, denouncing the council's attitude toward farmers' organizations as a reign of terror.

Like many other American units, they are on that portion of the front which must be content to “bite” several kilometers of the German line daily. Still there is enough fighting to satisfy the ordinary man, and these troops are winning the praise of the leaders of their French allies with whom they are regimented. A unit officered by former New Yorkers is just at present the “hottest”. These colored Americans, with another unit, all of whose officers are colored, are located at a point a few kilometers distant from a point rapidly assuming strategic importance. The first unit achieved distinction a few weeks ago in holding the extreme left where the Germans attempted to drive with such valor. Many men and officers covered themselves with glory.

Every person attending is requested to secure a credential from some colored civic organization or lodge, or church, and the League especially urges that citizens from Equal Rights Democracy Leagues or citizens committees which shall hold meetings and send citizen delegates. Every colored citizen has full authority to act on this invitation. Let us meet in Chicago to organize for world democracy. Colored America on to Chicago. Show your strength.

This is America's Pay for Letting Down the Bars to the Fickle and Treacherous Scions of Montezuma—Many Killed and Wounded Situation Well in Hand. Nogales, Ariz., Aug. 29, 1918—It became necessary to press the famous 10th United States Cavalry, colored, into service in repulsing the Mexicans, who sought to play havoc with American citizens in this city Tuesday afternoon when the invaders fired upon American sentries in their attempt to illegally pass a peon across the border. Captain J. D. Hungerford and Corporal Barney Lotz were killed and several wounded. It is estimated that the Mexicans suffered a loss above the century mark, so deadly was the aim of the black troopers. The firing lasted about one and one-half hours, and when the black cavalrymen got too hot for the Mexicans they beat a hasty retreat and were pursued across the line by the Americans. It will be remembered that this organization, the 10th Cavalry, saved Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders at San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American war, and won the day for the Stars and Stripes.—Observer, Texas.

Bowler of Wichita, Kansas, has tendered his resignation as teacher in L'Orvence school and it has been accepted by the superintendent of the city schools. Mr. Bowler has been appointed to a position in Summer High School in St. Louis. He will teach history and will receive a much higher salary than he was getting here. Prof. Bowler is among the foremost young educators of Kansas. He is a young man of highest christian integrity, thoroughly imbued with racial uplift; from childhood he has possessed that most landable ambition to ascend to the topmost round of the ladder of worthy achievement. St. Louis is indeed fortunate to get him. Were it not that we know he is going to a broader field affording greater opportunities for his splendid capacity, we would say that we regret to see him leave. He carries with him the best wishes of the citizens of Wichita and we know he will give a good account of himself in his new field. — The Protest, Wichita, Ks. 50 MILLIONS ASKED FOR DROUGHT RLIEF The Texas State Council of Defense at Austin, Tex., recently adopted a resolution calling the attention of President Wilson and congress to the drought conditions in west Texas and urging congress to appropriate $50,000,000 for relief. It is desired to use the money as soon as rains come which will make crops possible. HAVE YOU MADE YOUR VICTORY PLEDGE? Illinois and Wisconsin Jurisdiction. :: J. ANTHONY JOSEY, Editor and Manager MILWAUKEE -- MADISON -- BELOIT THE ODD FELLOWS' TROUBLE The New York Age is responsible for the statement that the Sub- Committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows has seen fit to rescind its order postponing the biennial session of that great organization this year and that orders have been issued to send delegates to the meeting to be held in New York, September 9, 1918. This has created a sensation as it shows that the Davis faction has the backing of a large proportion of the order in going ahead with the meeting any way. As we predicted, it was necessary to meet the action of that masterly combination led by Hon. Henry Lincoln Jönsson and his able assistant B. J. Davis. It will be interesting to note the outcome of the present struggle. It looks to us as though two B. M. C's, will meet in New York. Grand Master Morris will not recognize the Georgia delegation and the delegation will not be large from any part of the country. If the "machine" resorts to "rough-house" manipulation at which both sides to the controversy are skilled in the game, protesting contingent will proceed to do business and leave the question of regularity to be settled at some other time. It is plainly evident that the Sub-Committee of Management made a blinder in postponing the session this year. It has given the other side an excuse for their protesting meeting and they will contest the regularity of the delegate now being sent by the regulars under the leadership of Grand Master Morris, Unless we are much mistaken. Hon. Benjamin J. Davis will lay claim to having been restored to the Grand United Order of Old Fellows regardless of which body does the restoring. Hon, Henry Lincoln Johnson will have enough funds to finance the affair and the fight in the Old Fellows' organization will be transferred from Georgia in general to the United States of America. We are no prophet or son of a prophet, but it is a safe prediction to say that Ben, Davis and his crowd will never go all the way to New York without securing admission to some kind of B. M. C., even though the Hon. Edward H. Morris is not the presiding officer. The part that the courts will play in the affair is an open question. The Georgia B. M. C. will not meet at the same place as the Morris, B. M. C. The committee on Credentials will not be the same. The Sub-Committee of Management by its action has paved the way for a "wide open" split and those Georgia politicians have not been slow to take advantage of the blunder. There will be two flags flying after the September meeting, both bearing the emblem "B. M. C. of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows" and it will be for the rank and file to say under which flag they will rally. We hope that a committee on the adjustment of difficulties may be appointed and an agreement reached by which this split will be closed up, but a person must be an optimist indeed who predicts that such a desirable result can be accomplished at the New York session.—Planet, Richmond, Va. WHEAT PRICE $2.20 President Wilson Fixes Minimum Price for 1919 Crop. A proclamation was issued Monday by President Wilson in Washington setting $2.20 a bushel as the minimum price guaranteed by the government for the 1919 wheat crop. A disinterested commission will be appointed next spring to see whether the increased cost of farm labor and supplies would justify an increase above that price.

Dear colored people and fellow citizens: Five years have passed since I learned to know you and since I have labored for your welfare in particular and for the uplift of your race in general. This has especially been done by means of our boarding and day school in charge of the Sisters of Notre Dame. No one is better fitted for education and teaching your children than such religious women who prompted and assisted by God's grace have left home and frequently country to consecrate their lives to God to work for the good of their fellow men. They are mothers as well as teachers in regard to your children. If you wish to see good men and noble women among your race, you must give special attention to your children, for experience as well as faith teaches the future man or woman will be what the boy or the girl is today. To train children, religion, which is the foundation of true morality must be divorced as little from the school rooms as from the home. Hence the Pagans as well as the Hebrews of old had no schools without religious instruction. All real goodness lies in loving God above all things and our neighbor as ourselves for His sake. We cannot reasonably expect people to love God unless the children are taught to love Him. Hence the necessity of having religion in the school as well as in the home. The school has the purpose to help the home to educate children properly. It is gratifying to know that so many colored people realize this necessity and are therefore anxious to send their children to St. Benedict the Moor school, 315—9th St., founded for the purpose of teaching not only most efficiently the 3 R's but also the R-religion. The sad fact is, that there is not yet sufficient room to accommodate all who wish to come, yet we hope soon to have, with the aid of lovers of true Christian charity larger accommodations. Meanwhile we give preference to the children of the city of Milwaukee. Mothers who are obliged to work and have small children may have them cared for during the day at the mission. If parents wish to see their children properly trained at school, they must be careful to set them the good example at home. Since God has set aside one day in the week for man to refresh his soul by hearing the word of God and attending divine service, parents should not fail to accompany their children to church on Sunday and Holydays and if people have no enoim they owe this obligation no less to God for their own soul and to their fellowmen. All are cordially invited to attend divine services at St. Benedict the Moor church, 305 9th St. The order of services is as follows: On Sunday at 8:30 and at 10 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. in July and August; during the rest of the year at 3 p. m. Holiday serves are at 6:30 and 8:30 a. m. and at 7:45 p. m. The week-day services are at 6:30 a. m. with the exception of Tuesday and Wednesday when they are at 8 a. m. Every Friday night at 7:45, Stations of the Cross and Benediction. Though it is better for people to seek their amusements in their own home, yet owing to the fact that many have no real home or space enough for family gatherings the home at 915 Prairie St. will be open for social purposes every Sunday and Tuesday night.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN The campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan begins September 28 and closes October 19. While the amount has not yet been announced, it is generally conceded it will be for a larger amount than any of the preceding loans. The American people, therefore, are called upon to raise a larger sum of money in a shorter length of time than ever before. There is need, therefore, for prompt action prompt and efficient work and prompt and liberal subscriptions. We have a great inspiration for a great effort. The news from the battle front inspires every American heart, not only with pride and patriotism but with a great incentive to do his or her part. There is no shirking, no shifting of the individual burden, no selfishness by American soldiers in France; there should be none here. We are both supporting the same country and the same cause—our Army in one way, ourselves in another. Theirs is the harder part, but at least we can do our part as promptly and loyally and efficiently as they do theirs. FT. WINNEBAGO CELEBRATION At the site of old Fort Winnebago, near Portage, a celebration took place Monday in commemoration of the building of the fort in 1828. In the early days of Wisconsin the portage from the Fox to the Wisconsin river, near the present city of Portage, was an important point of travel between Fort Howard, Green Bay, and Fort Crawford, Prairie du Chien. To keep in check the Indians the government built the fort, Jefferson Davis, president of the confederacy, in his early career as an officer of the regular army, at one time was stationed at Winnebago. Monday's celebration was under the auspices of state and county historical societies. Some well known Madison people attended. VOCATIONAL SCHGOL OPENS SEPT 9 A. W. Siemers, director of the Madison vocational schools, has addressed the following circular letter to employers of minors between 14 and 17: "Gentlemen: The Madison Vocational School will re-open on September 9th.

September 12 Registration Day All men from 18 to 45 years of age in the continental United States except those in the army or navy or already registered are summoned by the President's proclamation today to register for military service on Thursday, September 12. Machinery of the provost marshal general's office was set in motion to carry out the second great enrollment under a presidential proclamation issued soon after the president had signed the new man power act extending the draft ages. Nearly 13,000,000 to Register It is estimated that at least 12,778,758 men will register this time, compared with nearly 10,000,000 on the first registration of men from 21 to 31 on June 5, 1917. Of those who enroll now it is estimated that 2,300,000 will be William D. Haywood, secretary of the Industrial Workers of the World, and ninety two other principal officers and organizers recently convicted by a federal jury in Chicago of conspiracy to overthrow the American war program, were sentenced to terms ranging from one to twenty years in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kas., and given heavy fines by Federal Judge K. M. Landis Friday. With Haywood fourteen of his principal aids must spend twenty years in prison; thirty-three othmit and wish to remain with you after that date, it will be necessary for them to secure a new permit.

Second, that minors between 14 and 17 must register for their school work, which will be one day a week, the week preceding the opening of school, namely, September 3rd to 7th, registration to be made at the office 13 South Pinckney street. The child labor law, which takes effect September 1, 1918, requires that all minors between 14 and 17 attend the vocational schools one full day. Heretofore, minors between 14 and 16 attend one full day and those between 16 and 17 one-half day. In all cases, a day means eight hours. Third, that any minor who is absent during any one week must make up the time the following week. No excuses will be accepted unless they are substantiated or in case of illness accompanied by a physician's statement. SPECIAL NOTICE The editor of "The Blade" will be in a position to ship three thousand Colored people from the South into the Eastern, Northern and Western cities. The war has been the means of thousands of doors being opened to Black men and women which heretofore have been closed, and they are getting the same wages that the white man has received. Hundreds of factories now are employing Colored men and women on salaries ranging from $3.50, $4.50, $5.00 and $5.50 per day. The proprietors of these large institutions tell us that these Colored men and women are making good, and they could use a hundred more daily. —Write Employment Dept. Wis Weekly Blade, Madison, Wis. WAR SAVINGS STAMPS VICTORY WEEK called for general military service, probably two-thirds of the number coming from among the 3,500, 000 or more between the ages of 18 and 21. Wisconsin's Share Estimates made by Adjutant General Holway would indicate that the state of Wisconsin would register 320,000. On this number it is estimated that about one per cent, or about 350 will be negroes. The election machinery will be used to put the law into operation. People will register in their voting precincts. At the close of the registration the report of the precinct registration will be made to the local boards. It is estimated that 5,500 new drafttees will be registered in Madison 2,843 in the western division of the county and 3,317 in the eastern division, or a total of 11,660 in Dane county. Mr. John J. Reinking returned Thursday from a two weeks' vacation visit with his daughter, Mrs. Frank Sammet, her husband and young son at Dalton, Mass. CES FOR I. W. W. His Principal Aids Given Twenty-Eight Others Also Sent to Jail by sed Against Ninety three Prisoners ers of the organization leaders must spend a maximum of ten years in prison; thirty three others a maximum of five years, and twelve others one year and one day.

CUTS HARD COAL ORDERS George E. Gary, Dane county fuel administrator, has instructed wholesale and retail dealers to limit hard coal deliveries to five tons a family. The regulation went into effect Wednesday. It will prove very embarrassing to many families in town depending on furnace or steam heating who entered their coal orders months ago at the then prevailing prices and could not yet receive any of their fuel supply for the winter. Meanwhile coal prices are continuously advancing. Persons having coal stoves are allowed the maximum of two and one half tons a delivery. TWO MORE LIGHTLESS NIGHTS William N. Fitzgerald, federal fuel administrator for Wisconsin, has ordered that in view of the further need of conserving fuel resources, two additional lightless nights. Wednesday and Thursday must be observed. Monday and Tuesday nights are now lightless. TO CONNECT MADISON WITH AEROPLANE SERVICE A committee of the Madison Association of Commerce consisting of Messrs. S. C. Hanks and E.J. Fisher is endeavoring to secure a tract of land suitable as a landing field for the areoplane service planned between Chicago and Minneapolis via Madison and La Crosse. The distance between Chicago and Minneapolis is 390 miles and can be made in five hours. Landing fields would be about 100 miles apart.

Jackson, Jr. AUTOLESS SUNDAY INAUGURATED Following the request of the national fuel administration the country east of the Mississippi September 1st inaugurated the autoless Sunday. A gratifying percentage of machine owners voluntarily cut out their Sunday pleasure ride which gives promise that a mandatory order will not be necessary. In Madison a goodly number of automobiles and motorcycles were still noticed on the streets. It is claimed that the license numbers of nearly a thousand machines were reported to or taken by the police. Of course it is not known how many of these machines were out on loyal errands. Dane County Chairman for Woman's Liberty Drive Mrs. Louis M. Hanks of Madison has been appointed Dane county chairman for the Wisconsin women's liberty loan drive. PROMOTED TO CAPTAINCY A captain's commission has been awarded Lieut Joseph W. Bollenbeck, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Bollenbeck of Madison. He was a graduate from the first officers' training camp at Fort Sheridan and has been stationed with the 12th infantry at Camp Fremont, Cal. SOME PATRIOT -RAN HIS FORD WITHOUT FUEL Last Sunday some ingenious citizen of Sauk City, known all over the state on account of its progressive ideas and the home of Gov. Phillip, startled his neighbors by using his Ford without fuel. He hitched two teams to the Lizzie, loaded in his family and went a flying through the neighboring towns. Krug Easily for Sheriff Under Sheriff Julius J. Krug won the republican sheriff's nomination with a big margin. According to incomplete reports thus H. H. fear obtained he received 2,792 again for 1,039 for Richardson, 733 for Kittleson, 575 for Erdahl, 543 for Ahl, 150 for Moen. It is only a little trouble to order your coal now. The canoe has opened its casualty list for the season. But that change in styles is not retroactive. There's last year's clothes, for example. There are even more American visitors in Europe in time of war than in time of peace. Those "bomb proof" jobs do not seem, however, to be draft proof, especially in the navy. Without exaggeration, our American boys over there have been fighting like a bunch of wildcats. Neither will anyone object to the substitution of chicken for beef in those harvest dinners. The clover crop is coming on fine, so we shan't have to suffer from any cloverless days this winter. Some enemies plot to wreck troop trains, others merely conspire to get rich off government contracts. It is too hot to do anything but lay in that winter fuel. You are crazy with the heat if you don't do it. We should worry about those three meatless days a week! Just look at the beans we've got coming in the garden! We care not how often mother has her day, but in justice to all concerned let's see to it that father gets his nights. Burlap famine threatens and price of leather has advanced. Horrors! What will we wrap our feet in next winter? We have 148,868 men in our aviation service, it is reported, which is another reason why Germany is so anxious to end the war before we get well under way. Less material will be put into men's clothes this year. Any warm weather sufferer should be willing to start by dispensing with collars, cuffs and suspenders. Nope, you're wrong. A keynote speech isn't for the purpose of throwing the con into the convention, but of putting the thews into the enthusiasm. If Nicholas were either a warrior or a politician he would be strongly tempted to show the sorrow-stricken Russian people that an ex-czar can come back. Baseball is becoming popular in England. The British may play the game, but it will take time to acquire the technical vocabulary of an argument with the umpire. The kaiser has approved the selection of Prince George of Saxony as king of Lithuania, and whether the Lithuanians approve or not is of no importance whatever. The demand for glycerin to make explosives is said to menace a shortage of soap. There may be schoolboys whose eyes will shine at this report, if not their morning faces. The most complimentary thing that has been said about the German-Americans is the Berlin Lokal Anzeigers' admission that they "are insufficiently equipped with kultur." It is said that 200,000 young women are studying stenography in the United States. They must think that it is the purpose of the United States' politicians to talk Germany to death. If there is a coal famine next winter and suffering throughout the country it will be interesting anyway to hear what is said about why there were not enough coal cars during the summer.

A war correspondent of the Assoc- sociated Press has learned that the British authorities recently refused their permission for Repres- sentative Ernest Lundeen of Minne- state, and Representative Chas- H. Dillon of South Dakota, to visit the British battle front. They arrived in France late in July on board a British vessel and later visited the American front. It is believed they now are touring Italy. The request that the congressmen be permitted to pay a visit to the British lines is said to have been made in the usual manner by the American army authorities. When the declination of the British was received an investigation was begun. This it is asserted, resulted in the explanation that both men had talked freely aboardship in such a manner about certain subjects affecting the war that both British and American military and civilian passengers brought the subject to the attention of the officer commanding the troops aboard the vessel and also the ship's captain. The exact tenor of the states ments the congressmen are alleged to have made is not known, but the military authorities are pursuing their investigation of the incident. GERMAN MUTINIERS JOIN FIGHTING RUSSIANS Twelve hundred German mutineers have joined forces with an armed peasant body and attacked the German forces in the region of Dymera, twenty-four miles from Kiev, according to a Russian wireless dispatch from Moscow received in London.

By John Alexander. Milwaukee. Wis.—J. Anthony Josey was at his best on last Monday night when speaking at the Labor celebration at St. Benedict de Moor.

OUR EXPORTATION OF SILVER The melting down of the silver dollars in the United States Treasury and the exportation of the bar silver resulting and other silver bullion possess great interest to the average American citizen. Most of this silver bullion is sent to India, whose people have a strong prejudice in favor of metal money, and India is exporting a vast amount of material used in the war by England and France, and, in fact, all the entente allies, including ourselves. To pay for these goods in the money desired by the people of India caused a tremendous drain on the supply of silver of entente allies, and to meet this urgent demand the United States has taken the great amount of silver bullion and silver dollars lying idle in its Treasury and is exporting it to India to be used in paying for war supplies. Something like a hundred million silver dollars have been melted down and exported. What great assistance it was to the allies, including the United States, is shown by the statement of Sir James Meston, financial member of the Viceroy's Council, who is reported as saving: "Probably few people in America realize how vitally important to India and to India's share in the war was the legislation passed in Washington releasing large quantities of silver for use in alleviating the currency situation there. For this action India as well as the British Empire and the allies owe a debt of gratitude to the United States which it is hard to overstate."

FINE LABOR DAY PARADE Imposing Industrial Procession Passes Through Madison's Streets Winding Up at Henry Vilas Park. Madison observed Labor Day, September 2, in befitting manner as a legal holiday. The organized trades' associations turned out for the largest and most impressive industrial parade the city has ever seen. The procession took place in the afternoon. It moved around the Capitol square and then proceeded to Henry Vilas Park where Prof. John R. Commons of the university gave an address speaking on the relation of labor to the war. Interesting field day contests were part of the program in the park. It is estimated that over 5,000 people marched in the parade accompanied by two music bands. Both companies of the local state guard, Grand Army veterans and Boy Scouts participated. The following organizations were represented in the procession: Madison Ministerial association, Madison federation of labor, lathers, sheet metal workers, plumbers, steam-fitters, plasterers, electrical workers, painters, teamsters, bricklayers, hoisting engineers, carpenters typographical union, newsboys tailors, brewery workers, barbers meat cutters and butchers, cigarmakers, street car men, stage employees, farmers, boot and shoe workers, telephone employees, machinists, moulders, women ma POCKET BILLIAR SANITARY TONSORIAL PARLO Polite and Courteous Treatment, and Up-to-date Service DAVE BOWLER, Artist Z.

NEW WHEAT REGULATIONS On and after September 1, retailers are required to sell 20 per cent of other cereal flours where straight wheat flour is sold to the consumer. Housewives are asked to mix at least 20 per cent of substitute cereals into wheat flour at home for all bread baked. The consumer is therefore on an 80-20 basis instead of a 50-50 basis. Bakers are required to buy and use 20 per cent of cereals in their bread. The new regulations supersee the 50-50 rule. The retailer selling standard wheat flour is required to carry in stock either barley flour, corn meal or corn flour and with every combination some one or more of these in the proportion of one pound substitutes to each four pounds of wheat flour. No dealer may force any other substitutes in combination upon the consumer, and the substitutes must conform to the standards fixed by the United States food administration.
