THE NEGROES RESPONSIBILITY
IN THE WAR CRISIS.

IN THE WAR CRISIS.
Mr.. Freeman, after Analysing the
necessity for the full use of every
resource for the winning of this bat
tie for liberty, impressed upon his
hearers that the real object of the
food administration was to try to or
ganize all the people of the United
| States in the conservation of food
stuff. He stressed and particularized
the fact that food conservation clubs
should be arranged for among the col
ored people in schools, churches, bust
ness fraternities, commercial and
women's clubs, and stated plainly
that there was something that the
humblest Negro could do.
with the shortage of food abroad,
with the partial failure of transpor-
tation, the shortage of labor, and the
present abnormal world condition fac
ing us on every hand" said Mr..
Freeman, Each one Of us has new
responsibility. AS a tenth part OF
the American body polite, the col
ored people must do our share in
the work of conserving the food sup
ply for the good of our country and
in aid of our allies. We can do this
if we save and do not waste, 1t will
require our careful thought three
times a day. Not only must we eat
carefully the products Of the day, but
we must preserve the perishable and
fruits that are now so abundant.
Soldiers cannot fight unless they are
fed"
He urged a systematic campaign
against gopher, rats mice and IN
sects, and declared that the unescap-
able question was Twill each one do
his duty? Will each of us do out
bit?" The call was an impressive one
and Mr.. Freeman's graphic analysis
of the plan and it's method Of appli-
cation provoked discussion in which
all of the speakers and questioners
/ evinced an anxiety to know just how
to proceed and the agencies through
, which they could work to the best
advantage. Resolutions were adopted
unanimously pledging the moral sup
port of the members of the League
= and pleading with the Negroes of the
country-Men, women and children
to obey the behest of the government
in this matter. Food conservation is
patriotism-an it is self-protection.
: Mr.. Freeman's constructive activi-
ties in the cause do not end with his
/, special detail to Chattanooga. He will
, continue to work with a general
. committee, formed by the Hoover
! commission, to- organize and conduct
: the food conservation campaign
a among the 100000 colored citizens
of the Republic. Mr.. Freeman has
t made an suspicious opening for the
r cause and he is to be congratulate
: upon the intelligent, aggressive and
productive service rendered the nation
. and the race at Chattanooga.

According to authentic reports

known business man of this city, and

FOOD CONSERVATION HOLDS
KEY TO VICTORY OVER GER
MANY.

Bringing patriotism down to stub
born facts, Mr.. Freeman without re-
course to Oratorical flourish, but in
simple, straightforward and convinc-
ing language, pointed out that the con.
servation Of food holds the key to
victory over Germany and illustrated
in his own original way the countless
channels in which the colored people
of thecountry, from the wealthiest
to the humblest, could be of vital as
Stance to America and the allies in
this titanic struggle for world de-
mocracy, The general government re-
cognized the value of the Negro
help in this work by sending Mr.
Freeman to the Chattanooga confer
ence of the business chieftains of the
nation as the special representative
of the food administration, under the
direction of the Hon. Herbert C.
Hoover and DR.. Ray l.. Wilbur, to lay
the matter properly before the color
ed people of the land. The wisdom
of the selection of Mr. Freeman was
amply demonstrated by the able ad.
dress delivered at the Friday after
noon session of the Business League
and the rapt attention which it com.
manded at the hands Of the audience
which crowded the Lyric Theater to
the doors. Mr.. Freeman's personal
success as a commercial force gave
him warrent to speak with authority
and his well-known influence in the
financial, fraternal and educationa
circles in the nations capital, as wei
as his official status conferred by the
federal government, gave his utter
