Our Sec'y. and Treas.

1t is much the same as though
the Blade were to go to press in
mourning when we inform the
public of the temporary loss of
the services of our esteemed
Sec'y. and Treas. VIM. r. Car
michael. He has been called to
serve his country to the best of
his ability and if chance should
have it so, to give his life for
her. If this young man serves
his country as he has the Blade,
there is no doubt that any ad-
vancement that courteousness,
thrift, and a pleasing personality
can deserve that will in any man
ner increase his worth to his
country that this young man
will not strive to accomplish.
Friend, it is impossible to fill
your place, and until you return
your position will remain unoccu-
pied.

You will be pleased to know
that the noted divine Rev. j. P.

South Park Church for several
years, with a very exclusive con

Owing to the exodous of the
Negro population from the
South, many have settled in this
vicinity, consequently the attend

An interesting letter from
Samuel II. Banks, private messen-
ger to Governor f. J.. Philip,
was read at the meeting of the
Colored Workingmen's Liberty
club, held last night at the Pabst
Park hall, Milwaukee. Mr.. Banks
Blade s
was to have appeared in person
to deliver an addres before the
members of the club, but was pre-
vented by the large amount of
business to be done at the gov
ernor S office.
The main message of the let
ter was an appeal for the negroes
coming to Wisconsin from the
south to uphold the records
which have already been set by
negroes here. After speaking of
the unusual advantages arising
because of the present situation,
and calling attention to the con
stant need of cooperation and
education, the letter continues;
"The white men of the north
really wonder about the negro of
the south. Their opinion of all
negroes depends upon those they
come in contact with-upon you.
The good name of all negroes is
in your keeping. You can help
form a favorable public opinion
here in the north. | trust you
will.
"In the north here the negro
has the privileges and freedom
which he does not have in the
south. We must use these privi-
liges and this freedom TO demon
strate the law abiding character
of all negroes and their willing
ness to serve their city, state and
nation. Negro public opinion
must be more severe with any at
tempt at or evidence of lawless-
ness or of disorder than the gen
eral public opinion.
81 am glad, indeed, to see you
get together for purposes of
amusement and recreation. We
must get together, too, for civil
and social purposes as well.
The governor asks me to convey
to YOU his best wishes and to say
that he looks forward confidently
to your making for yourselves a
useful place among the citizen

special emphasis upon the part
God played in ancient victories,
and a strong appeal was made
for all Christians to daily invoke
Divine help for victory for the
Allies in the present crisis.
Interesting readings were
given showing the part the

is taking in the present war.
While the readings we're in
progress the ladies present were
doing Red Cross knitting, the
work showing greater progress
now than at any time since the

Let Us Remember.

Every flag that flies opposite
the German one is by proxy the
American flag, and that the
armies fighting in our defense
under these flags can not be
maintained through this winter
unless there is food enough for
them and for their women and
childran at home. There can
only be food enough if America
provides it. And America can
only provide it by the personal
service and patriotic cooperation
of all of US.
The small daily service in sub
stitution can be done by all; the
saving in waste. by the majority,
and the lessening of food con-
sumed by many. This individu-
al daily service in 100000
kitchens and on 100000 table!
multiplied by 100,o00,000, which
is the sum CT all of us, will make
that total quantity which is tht
solution of the problem.
