Conference which met at Evanston, Ill., last week. The Conference in point of attendance and general enthusiasm was the greatest in the history of the church. Mrs. S. J. Cann and Mr. and Mrs. Jennings of Evanston, Ill., will assume management of the dormitory, cafe and laundry of the Center on and after October 1, 1918. The patrons will be accommodated in a home like manner, room, board and laundry being furnished at reasonable rates.

The management of the Center has secured the magnificent premises at 531 Galena street, which will be fitted up at once for the accommodation of women and parties for light house keeping. Mrs. Woods will have charge of this department and conduct a department of women's exchange. Mr. J. W. Minor, Secretary, accepted a position from the Government and left for Camp, State of Washington, Wednesday with a number of other select men. A reception was tendered him and others at the Center on the evening before the departure. After music and addresses refreshments were served and tokens presented and the best wishes of the guests were expressed to the honored guest. The Free Employment Bureau is expressing some difficulty in securing men and women for the various positions open to our people. Any one coming to Milwaukee in search of employment of any kind would do well to consult the Center bureau. ROCKFORD. ILL. Sergt. W. H.

Organizer, Founder and Energetic Church and Lodge Woman Mrs. Hawkins has been finan- cial secretary of Easter Lilly Club for more than five years. A member of H. H. of R. No. 1073, Order of Foresters, Eastern Star, May Flower Club and Warden of Elks Temple. Mrs. Hawkins recently organized the Golden Rule Club with 48 members, joining fee $1.00, dues 30 cents per month. In less than one month they have a bank account of more than $100. The membership consist of women of good moral character from 16 to 50 years of age. AN APPEAL Leymore Johnson, a child six years of age, was recently criminally assaulted and outrageously abused by one, Frank Saladino, a young Italian. September 19th the case was called in the Municipal court and for some reason unexplained at present the accused was permitted to go and the case apparently abandoned by the authorities. It would seem that this is a fit case for the serious consideration of all believers of justice and the due administration of the law. Private counsel has been employed and money is needed to defray expenses. Now, I, as president of the Co-operative Development and Progressive Association of the State of Wisconsin, do hereby call upon every member of said association and all believers in fair play and justice to contribute to this expense as it is now impossible to say to what ends it may be necessary to go to secure the proper administration of the law in respect to this foul crime. Contributions may be sent to Miss Marie White, Secretary of the Association, at 117 North Washington St., Janesville, Wis., and she will forward a receipt for same. Wm. S.

ON WHEATLESS DAYS COAT OF ARMS MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY OCT. 3, 1918 EMANCIPATION PROCLA- MATION To the Members of the G. U. O. O. F. in America. Let us submit in the spirit of the immortal Declaration of American Independence that, when in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a free people to overthrow a tyrannical and arbitrary administration which has continually harrassed and burdened them as a fraternal union, a decent regard for the opinion of mankind recognizes that they should disclose the cause which impels them to act— But, when a long train of abuses and usurpation, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce society to an absolute despotism, it is their right, their duty, to overthrow such tyranny and safeguard the future with a government by the consent of the governed. Such has been the patience and sufferance of the Odd Fellows of this country, and such is the necessity, which constrains them to act, and to set forth the reasons thereof. The administration of the affairs of the Order by the present S. C. M. is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations of the rights of the brotherhood in America, all having in direct object self-perpetuation in office and greed. In proof thereof, let the facts be submitted to a candid and impartial public opinion: to-wit—1. The S. C. M. has permanently retarded the growth of the Order in the states by hauling innocent members thousands of miles from home on trumped-up charges of contempt as a means of brow-beating the membersnip and lengthening their term of office. 2. The S. C. M. has reduced the membership in America from five hundred thousand members under Houston in 1910, to approximately two hundred thousand under Morris in 1918, and practically depleted the treasury from $45,000 in 1910 to literal bankruptcy in 1918. Arbitrary and burdensome taxations have been imposed upon the Odd Fellow people without their consent and over their protest, in order to afford graft to the plunderers. Laws have been changed to suit the personal ends of the S. C. M., and the funds of the Order have been dissipated in furtherance of their political fortunes; and if the members attempted to protest they were ruled for contempt, and tried in their absence miles away from home. The Odd Fellows' Journal, the official organ of the Order, has been converted into a personal sheet, and to advance the personal propaganda of the present S. C. M. The organ of the Order has been used as a big stick to keep in line any member or members who dares dispute the power of the mighty S. C. M. The people have been denied their inalienable right to choose either their place or time of meeting or select their officers. All of these inalienable rights of a free membership have been usurped by the Grand Master and the S. C. M. We have been divested of self-government and our court of final decision has been transferred to English authority, and we are denied the constitutional right given us by our country to have our property rights passed upon in the courts of the state in which we live under the threat of expulsion from the Order. Al of these injustices and injuries have been imposed on a long-suffering people under the ginse of Friendship, Love and Truth, Peace, Happiness and Prosperity. Our meetings—State and National — have been postponed with impunity, and the term of office of the present S. C. M. extended by proclamation instead of by election. Taxation without representation has been the rule—Laws written upon the books by the express will of the people in the congress of our Order have been spoken out of existence by arbitrary edict of the S. C. M. and all right of petition and redress denied the membership. 6. In 1912, the term of office of the S. C. M. was extended by the arbitrary adjournment two years. In 1914, the term of office was again extended for two years by fraud and a denial of representation at the ballot box, to the opposition candidates to the present S. C. M. In 1916, term of office was again extended two years by suspension and expulsion of an entire jurisdiction, and, in 1918, further attempt was made to extend office two years by passing a void act to postpone the 19th B. M. C. until 1920 as a war measure. In proof of the fraud of the attempted postponement, the S. C. M. attempted to hold a B. M. C. in New York without delegates, in spite of their own order of postponement in January. 1918, to September. 1920. For six years we have borne these unnumbered oppressions without redress. We have petitioned our brothers in the spirit of Friendship, Love and Truth only to be rebuffed and answered by repeated injuries and insults. The consummation of the plot to displace democracy with ignorance and autocracy was reached in the attempt of the S. C. M. to extend its term of office by postponing the 19th B. M. C. until 1920, which the Old Fellows of America rose up and resented. And pursuant to adjournment September 9, 1918, through their accredited representatives, the Odd Fellows of America met in Bi-enial meeting, overthrew kaiserism, declared themselves a free society and elected officers to reflect the principles of Friendship, Love and Truth throughout the world—recognizing and appreciating at the same time any fraternal tie we may owe to the mother Order in England. We, therefore, the representative of the G. U. O. O. F. of America in the 19th B. M. C. assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the Universe for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name of the Sovereign Odd Fellow people of the United States of America, solemnly publish this address, and call on the members of the Order to support and sustain our actions in the spirit of Friendship, Love and Truth, that the principles and policies of our ancient fraternity may not perish from the earth.

Friend Josey: I am just receiving your letter of July 6. I was more than glad to get it. The papers you sent have not been received as yet but I am sure they will come in due course. The boys were all glad to have a word of remembrance from you. There is nothing to write stranger than the things you are reading in the daily press. We are in the midst of it and bet your life we are doing our share. We are not expecting our deeds to be fully known until we ourselves are positioned to make them known. In the mean time, we are going on, bleeding and dying and trusting in the divine power to keep some of us over to tell the other generations of our fight to make the world a safe place for men to live in. Write me again soon and I will have something of real interest to say. Lieut. Henry E. Dunn, 350th M. G. Battalion. Am. Ex. F., via N. Y. Somewhere in France, August 25, 1918. I promised to write you more fully at some future date. I just sent you a letter a day or so ago. In these parts, so many things transpire within a few days. In a week, the changes and experiences are too numerous and varied to relate. Last Sunday at this hour, I was on a hurried cross country trip to work in a previously quiet sector that had become suddenly active. Our men and selves arrived in time. The big guns have been barking and the shells falling. The noise is simply terrific. "Twas deafening at first but like other things, it is capable of becoming used to. The most interesting thing to see is an air battle. The enemy planes come over and engage ours. A real fight ensues with the breaks either even or in our favor. Can you imagine Sunday being half gone before you realize that it is Sunday at all? Such was my experience this morning. Some one asked the day of the week and I had to start counting from last Sunday in order to know today. I never thought I could come to that. I see now I shall have to close this letter. Some excitement is on. An air plane is passing dropping those hateful bombs and a bombardment on the hill in front of us is raising all kinds of dust. The ambulance is hurrying by. I must keep still and see if I can't get some further dope on the subject. I was going to tell you more of the beautiful country. Especially of a mountain I stood on the other day and saw portions of Germany and Switzerland but must leave all that off until I hear from these two letters. Very truly yours. Lieut. Henry E. Dunn, 350th Machine Gun Bn. A. E. F. via N. Y. [Name] SERGT. HOOVEY STITH Camp Grant, Ill. One of Milwankee's popular young men who is making good a worthy record as a soldier. 7,000 Members. NO 18.

F. who has been confined to his bed for several weeks is improving to the delight of his many friends. He is at 423—6th St. During the absence of Rev. J. O. Morley, the pulpit of St. Mark's church was filled by Rev. Mr. Threat on Sunday last. Mesdames Minnie Prevatt and Mary Gladney are rendering very efficient service as clerks of Calvary Baptist church. The choir of Calvary Baptist church under the leadership of Prof. D. W. Raymor is A No. 1. Their sweet and impressive singing, together with the thoughtful, soul-stirring and impressive sermon of the pastor Rev. S. Russell is attracting large crowds at each service. Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Kinner and children have returned to the city from their summer home at Pine Lake. The undaunted J. E. Lewis was in Milwaukee over Sunday. It is rumored that the will soon join the benedicts. The Conference recently held at Evanston has returned Dr. Morley to St. Mark's church. Attorney De Reef is serving as a member of the Legal Advisory Board at the Auditorium. Mrs. D. W. Raynor will visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. St. Clair of Minneapolis, Minn.

Notice to Mail Subscribers: The War Industries Board has served official notice that from and after October 1st, 1918, "all newspapers must discontinue sending a paper affer the date of the expiration of a subscription, unless the subscription is renewed and paid for." This means that unless your Blade is paid for in advance, you will not receive a copy through the mail after October 1st. As much as we regret the step it is absolutely necessary for us to stop sending the paper after that date. This notice is given at this time so that you will have time to protect your subscription. BLADE REPRESENTATIVE OVER SEA M. O. O'Bannon, special correspondent of The Blade has arrived safely over there. Mr. O'Bannon is Sergeant in 803rd Pioneer Inf., Co. F. We expect some stirring news of the actions of our boys in driving back the Huns. Sergt. J. P. Capel, Benj. Battice, John Oliver, Private Randolph, Goe, English, Robt, Carroll and Jaec Laudimilk are in the same Infantry. THE NEGRO IN WAR WORK There are now forty-one colored chaplains in the United States Army. It is expected that colored chaplains will be provided for service at Camp Lee at an early date. Opportunities for the entrance of competent colored men in the Veterinary Corps are now open. Information relative to this branch of the service may be had by addressing Major Ry . Stamclift, Assistant Director of the Veterinary Corps, Washington, D. C. The War College at Washington advises that there have been registered 207 white labor com- --- paines, 200 of which were sent overseas before their organization was entirely complete. This is positive evidence that these labor Battalions are not confined exclusively to colored membership as has been intimated in some quarters. Colored men, serving as privates who have abilities along any special line will find it to their advantage to acquaint their company commanders with the nature of their qualifications, and this may lead to congenial assignments in keeping with their mental or technical attainments. There is always something for a man to do who is of proved ability or special equipment. War Department officials state that since the Officers Reserve Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, out of which came 639 colored commissioned officers, and prior to the establishment of the training schools at Camps Taylor and Pike, 114 colored men were commissioned as officers in Infantry, 11 in Cavalry and 35 in Field Artillery. 107 officers in Infantry came out of the recent class at Camp Pike and 33 in Field Artillery came out of Camp Taylor last month. The foregoing summary gives a total of 941 colored officers graduating from the Officers' Training Schools, and these figures are exclusive of those commissioned in the Medical Reserve Corps and in special branches of the service, both over here and abroad, and the count does not embrace the officers of the National Guard and those in the original Regular Army. New barracks are being built at Howard University and Atlanta University for the accommodation of the young men who are coming in from all sections of the country to take the military training along with their academic studies and for the vocational classes that will come from drafters who will be assigned there by local boards or army camp officials. The opportunities offered young colored men through the Committee on Education and Special Training are being seized with eagerness, and so rapidly has the demand for this type of education grown, and so potent are the results noted, that the Government's policy of thus turning out specially-trained Does Y A You farmers w harder to get tog Your property stock, your farm in represent years and Everything tha to you and stays w of Uncle Sam are murderous Hun.

You farmers who have worked hard—and no one works harder—to get together your property, what does it mean to you? Your property—your farm and buildings, your crops, your stock, your farm implements and, too, your home—all of these represent years and years of work that you have done. Everything that you enjoy as the result of your work comes to you and stays with you because the heroic soldiers and sailors of Uncle Sam are standing between you and the bloodthirsty, murderous Hun. To keep the Hun away from you, Uncle Sam does not ask you to GIVE even a single penny. He simply asks you to LEND him your money at good interest and he guarantees on his word of honor—a word that has never been broken—to pay back every penny you lend. What is your answer?

By next July, it is estimated that 20,000 young colored men will have received this training in some of its forms. PROFESSIONS VS. ACTIONS President Wilson, Monday stepped into the breach of the U. S. Senate fight over the woman suffrage resolution and in a personal address in the senate chamber asked for its passage as a war measure. Among other able and interesting things he said: "If we be indeed democrats and wish to lead the world for democracy, we can ask other peoples to accept in proof of our sincerity and our ability to lead them whither they wish to be lead nothing less persuasive and convince gith our actions. Our professions will not suffice. Verification must be forthcoming when verification is asked for." Now, this is exactly what we have contended ever since we purposed to "make the world safe for democracy." Unless our principles of democracy prove satisfactory at home, we can hardly hope to have them adopted abroad. The nations of the world have a right to demand that they do. If we are democrats we must act democratic. Let us abolish the "Jim Crow" cars, segregation in the government service and other unjust discrimination in public life. A nation that bars the doors to any branch of its military service in the time of a war for democracy to any class of citizens physically and mentally fit, can hardly be termed the best type of a democracy. Well might the President say "Our professions will not suffice Verification must be forthcoming." COURAGE AND COWARDICE The difference between a brave man and a coward is to be discerned less in his demeanor in the midst of victory than in his behavior in the face of defeat. When all goes well anything in trousers can stimulate manhood, but it requires the stuff of which **men** are made to meet disaster without the whine of a whipped cur.

With her back to the wall she fought with grim determination, emitting no cry of agony, no plea for peace. But in less than two months after a reversal of this program is begun, and even before their territory is invaded, Germany, the braggart, the assassin of innocent women and helpless babies, the despoiler of temples and the destroyers of hospitals, together with her cowardly understudies, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria, are whining like whipped curs and suing for peace. It has been ever thus. The big brutal bully who maltreats and abuses the weak and defenseless always whines like a belabored hound and seeks to arbitrate when the tables are turned. His is a cowardly nature, buoyant only when all goes his way but ready to "lay down" at the first sign of distress. Oh! There is a difference between courage and cowardice.

Does Such an American Exist? Can there be any American who is not doing all he can to help win the war? Who pretends to believe that we could have kept out? Who whines or growls about the little sacrifice he is asked to make? Who gets panicstricken and thinks that it would be better to compromise with the Hun and listens to the serpent whisperings of German propaganda? The Boy From Next Door YOU used to see him swing gaily down the street, radiant with the vigor of his sturdy young manhood. One day he came home in khaki; then his father told you, with mingled pride and foreboding, that he had "gone across" with his regiment. If such an American exists let him realize what Germany has done to Russia, which gave in and negotiated a cowardly peace. Yesterday his name was on the casualty list—"slightly wounded" and your face grew grave as you thought of the sorrow and suspense of his father and mother. From every city street, every village, every community, the boy next door has gone to war. There is only one thing for us all today and that is war to the bitter end—war until the Hun is utterly and completely destroyed. Think of these thousands of splendid young Americans, reared in comfort, peace, and security, now suddenly plunged into that roaring inferno of battle with the hardened hordes of a desperately determined foe. What are you doing to help them? For those who cannot fight LIBERTY BONDS are the best possible weapons against the Hun. What are you doing to arm and protect them, and bring them home in safety?
