RESOLUTIONS.

| To Most Worthy Grand Master, Of
ficers and Brethren, your special Com
mittee to draft Resolutions, to be for
warded to the President of the United
States, beg leave to submit the fol-
| lowing report:
Whereas, our country is engaged in
great International war for univer-
sal democracy; and,
Whereas, The President of the
United States has called on the peo-
pie to back up those principles for
which our government stands; and,
Whereas, The many discussions in
Congress relative to the position the
Negro should assume have been held
without a single race representative
present to review the history of 10y
atty and patriotic devotion of the
black man both as slave and citizen
to the land of our birth: therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the United Brothers
Of Friendship in 47th annual session
representing a membership of 1000
600 men and women of the race as
loyal American citizens pledge to the
President our fullest confidence and
support in the policies instituted by
him for the execution of the war, and
that we will do all that is in our power
to aid in recruiting the army by en-
couraging our men to volunteer or to
cheerfully comply with the selective
conscription laws, and that we urge
our people everywhere without refer
ence to fraternal affiliations to give
to the government under Old Glory,
that unstinted allegiance and unwav-
ering demonstration of courage that
has characterized cur race and regi-
ments in every war in which our coun-
try has engaged.
And we further declare that we do
this in all sincerity with the fullest
confidence in the government at
Washington believing as we do that
our loyalty to that government found
