WANT FAMILY IMPRISONED.

Stockholm, Dec. 17.-Phillip Schelde-
mann, leader of German majority soclai-
lists, is here In conference with Dol
sheviki minister, Orlonzsky, on peace
terms between Germany and Russia.
1t Is reported that Scheidemann mas
been clothed with full power by the
Teuton government which had directed
the peace angling at Stockholm rather
than at Brest LitovslS, because proceed
ings at the latter place We're subject TO
full publicity by the bolsheviki.
A further interesting light is thrown
on the situation by the fact that Trotz-
sky, bolsheviki foreign minister, whose
Stockholm representative is now work
ing through Parvius as intermediary,
denounced the same Parvius in paper
he conducted in Paris, as traitor.
The Social Demokraten which pub
fishes long expose of the affair. says:
NOW, when it Is a question of sepa-
| rate peace says the paper with every
possibility of an imperialistic peace at
Russia's cost first of all and then at the
cost of the whole western democracy
this traitor is invited to Stockholm by
1.-The bolsheviki as the proletariat's repre-
sentative.''
Parvius poses MS a majority socialist
| and enjoys the German governments
confidence to such an extent that he
was among the men mentioned at the
time of the last government changes as
! possible minister Of finance. He was
born a Russian subject, but left Russia
some years ago. He made millions

There has come from authentic
source, information that the Rev. H.
l.. p. Jones, D. d., of this city will
soon announce his candidacy as Sec
rotary of the Church Extension Board
of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church. When approached on this
subject DR.. Jones said, while l am
not quite ready to make my an
nouncement, / feel that unless there
are not some radical changes in my

the church, | am still willing to

1t was learned that DR.. Jones was
one OF the live wires at the last ses-
sion OF the Philadelphia Conference,
to which he was elected and where he
went with the Tennessee delegation.
AS soon as he arrived at the con-

ference he was elected as one of the
secretaries. The citizens of Nashville
have watched the career of DR.. Jones,
and especially the excellent work
that he has been able to do at st,
Paul where he is now serving In his
third year This is regarded as one
OF the Metropolitan churches in the
Tennessee conference. In addition
to this, it is regarded as one OF tho
hardest churches to pastor. DR.,
Jones was born in Giles County. He
is a product of Turner College at
Shelbyville, having finished from
there some years ago. He taught
school in the counties of Lincoln,
Trousdale, Giles and Cheatham until
he became well known in educational
circles. lie was licensed as preach
err in the A. M. e. Church in 1893 by
the Rev. G.. l.. Jackson, d. d., the
present Presiding Elder of the South
( Nashville District. After he had
been lisCened and entered the par
| toral field he served different and var
ious churches for twelve consecutive
wears, until 1909 when he was elected
as Presiding Elder, serving six years
as such on the Shelbyville and Co.
lumbia Districts, where he is held in
the highest esteem and where he has
a host OF followers. Then in 1907
he was honOred by being elected as
a delegate to the General Conference
which met at Norfolk, Va, Soon
after returning from the meeting he
began the work of building new
church in East Nashville. Payne
Chapel a. NJ. D. Church on the East
side is but one of the demonstrations
OF his constructive ability.
Later on in 1916 he was once more
honored by being elected as dele
gate to the General Conference which
met at Philadelphia, Pa, and was
further honored by the Conference as
one of its secretaries. When he was
assigned to the st. Paul A. M. E.
Church, it was thought that perhaps
he had reached the apex of his con-
structiveness, but from what can be
observed, he has brought the church
out until it is enjoying its greatest
! era of prosperity both from a relig-
ious as well as financial point OF
view. He is regarded by Nashville
as one of its able preachers and is
identified with everything that tends
, to the development of the citizens
of the state, and it is already predict
ed that if he persists in his candi-
dacy he will be elected to the posi-
, ton as secretary of the Church Elk

securing of the hall, The pastors OF
all churches, irrespective of denom-
ination, will be asked to make the an
nouncement in their pulpits Sunday
and urge upon their congregation to
attend this demonstration. 1t was
stated that those who could not come
should purchase tickets. 1t takes
SO cents to send a soldier Testament
and 25 cents to send him a song
book. In other words, from the
present arrangements it will take
three people or three tickets to furn-
ish one drafted man the two desired
books. There are approximately
thirty thousand Negro citizens in
Nashville and if they would readily
respond every one. of the seven
thousand men from Tennessee at
the camps could be supplied with
these books. The songs selected for
this jubilee concert are in themselves
regarded as sufficient when rendered
on that occasion to arouse great pat
riOtiSm.

Negro folk songs will give more real
inspiration to our boys than will the
rag or it's jig time music. Our peo-
pie are naturally musical and they
'are pining for these books. They also
want the Word of God with them.
They believe that according to the
Scriptures, it will be lamp to their
feet and light to their pathway so
our singers have decided to sacrifice
jointly in this movement to give a
testimonial concert, declared a leader
in this movement this week. 1t is the
purpose of the concert promoters that
every citizen in Nashville shall be
given a chance to contribute to this
cause. 1t was understood that al

Every Tennessee boy in any of the

the colored men are accepting this
as an opportunity to serve and not
an occasion for creating discord or
trouble, and white men and officers
are passing over the question of race
difference in helpful spirit What
we need in this emergency is the help
of right-thinking people in the cities
and towns around the camps, and we
are getting that cooperation so gen.
orally that our course seems free
from embarrassment, if German prop
agandists, who want to make discord
by stirring up sensitive feelings, are
simply not allowed to do their work.
AS matter of fact, the colored
people and the white people in this
country have lived together now for
a good many years and have estab-
lished relationships in the several
parts Of the country which are more
or less well organized and acquiesced
in. Gradually the colored people are
acquiring education in the industrial
arts, and are rendering themselves

the white people are coming more

would rejoice to see any embarrass-

against our enemy. Therefore unrest
among the colOred people and sus-

We are bending all our energies to
the building up of an army to defeat
