COLORED ROYAL ARCH MASONS
MOURN DEATH OF MILTON
r, FIELDS, So MASON.

(By A. L. Thomas, Dep. G. H. p, Mis-
souri, Jurisdiction, jefferson City,
MOI
The recent death of Sir and Noble
Milton F. Fields, go Mason of st.
Louis, No, has caused great sorrow
among the various Masonic Organiza-
lions of this state and especially is
this true of the Most Eminent Grand
Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of Mis-
souri, and Jurisdiction. For a number
of years Milton F. Fields has stood
out foremost in Royal Arch circles as
an interchangeable advocate and staunch
supporter of the principles of the
craft. Time and again he has been
honored for signal service rendered
Royal Arch Masonry until he stood at
the time of his death n of the most
honored men of the craft.
Royal Arch Masonry has not only
lost by his death a firm adherent but
also a constructive force in molding
the policies that have brought about
such high degrees of efficiency in the
work accomplished by the craft for
the promotion of its grand ideals and
ideas both of a theorical and prac-
teal nature during the past few de-
cades. Sir and Noble Milton F. Fields
as a Royal Arch Mason was noted for
his sense of fraternal devotion and
spirit of self abnegation. His appear
ance in THE Grand East" was as the
-ls.4a-s.- 5000 &c fhn n iaCtip ut1p
spreading peace, good will and joy
in the fragrant dawn of an early sum-
mer morn. His every act in the sa-
cred precincts of Royal Arch Mason
~ will forever live in the hearts of
those left to mourn his loss as the
act of a Master who walked close un-
der the comforting shadow and ten
der influence of God. He was in his
chivalrous attitudes and activities a
Knight beyond ~reProach, and as a
Mason in the full sense of the term
by his life work he has written for
himself upon the sacred and ancient
annals of the craft a name glorious
in it's deserving fame; honorable be-
cause of the weight of it's Christian
character; sublime because of its
golden charm and eve dying infiu-
ence wherever the profane tongue is
silenced by the divine chords of Ma
sonic melody. Milton F. Fields SO
lived that in dying his brethren while
weighted with grief can yet rejoice
in the happy trust that he has entered
without successful denial into the
sublime joys of eternal fellowship
within the jeweled portals of the
Grand Lodge where the High Priest
is God, the Supreme Architect Of the
Universe.
Noble in his aspirations, democratic

in his mode of life. keenly alert to the
general success and betterment of
his race, active in the organization
and development of all enterprises
having to do with the upward trend
of humanity and civilization whether
of a secular or religious nature, in
his death the world has lost the most
potential force in the economy of
Nature, "a Man" Devoted and zeal
GUS in all endeavors tending towards
the preservation and inculcation of
Royal Arch Masonry, both theoretical
and practical, according to ancient
and accepted usage, and in doing so
himself a vial factor, Royal Arch Ma
sonry has lost a brother who's place
will not be easily filled. To the Most
Eminent Grand Chapter of Missouri

to the Arrow, the Sun to the Flowery
dells hidden by the golden foliage of
a million oaks of the forest touched
by the artful hand of Autumn, the
Plow to him who makes the earth to
blossom forth with the products of
fertile field. A Christian citizen of
the highest standard! a Race man

noble to every trust, tried and found
not wanting in every responsibility,
Mason f. Fields has gone to a holy
rest.

FRIDAY,

Dissaffoction among Russian troops
has resulted in an important gain OF
ground by Germans and Austrians
In the region Of Zlochoff, cast OF Lem
berg, the Galician capital.
Persistent German attacks at first
were repulsed by tho Russians. Later
a Russian regiment near the cer'er OF
the line voluntarily left It's trenches
and retired, forcing the other units on
the line to fan back. This movement,
petlograd says, grvo the Germans op
portunity for developing their move
ment.
Another effort by The German crown
prince to regain the California and
Classmates platcauX between Hurtc
blse and Cracnne on the Aisne front
has been checked by the French. The
Germans attacked repeatedly in mass
formation, but every attempt was re
pulsed, and the French held to thei,
positions.

Civilians have ali kinds Of trouble
when visiting military camp, because
they invariably attempt to pass the

more recognition than they would an

such places they are compelled to ex-
tend proper courtesy to the flag of
their country. There is always Il hawk

depths OF his tent just behind the col

he lets Il civilian go past without sa,

When Il civilian starts TO pass the

The official reports from the Call

couraging than those of tho last few
days. While efforts are being made
to restore order the Austro. German
offensive between tho Stripa and the
Zlota Lipa Is being pushed and addi

Toward the northern end Of the front
the situation Is different. Tho Rus
SLAMS have taken tho offensive and
opened up q gap two miles deep in
an important sector OF tho German line
near Krovo and wilma, incidentally
capturing more than 1000 Germans.
On the western front thore Is diff
ferent tale to toll. The desperate on.
slaughts OF tho crown prince are being
met by General Petain's troops. Such
small bits OF territory as have been
gained BY tho Germans have beer
dearly paid fos.
