At the melting held last Thursday even
ing at the First A. M. E. church for the
purpose Of discussing the Feasibility as
we'll as possibility of the colored citizens
Of the Puget Sound country participating in
a silent parade September 22nd, Lincoln's
emancipation day-John F. Cragwell was
elected chairman and A. R. Bonner secre-
tary While there was quite a sprinkling
Of citizens at the meeting it was by no
means a representative mass meeting and
those present were not inclined to take
final action one way or the other and so a
subsequent meeting was called for next
Monday evening, September 10th, at D.
m at the First A. M. E. church. at which
time final action will be taken A commit
tee consisting Of Mrs. William Chandler, Mr..
Magruder and w. L. Presto was appointed,
who will visit the three leading churches
and request each Of them to send a COM
mlttee OF three or as many more as will
come to the meeting next Monday evening.
The silent parade in our opinion, is a
capital idea and would be of great good,
providing always, majority of the colored
citizens would take part therein, but it
would be roaring farce with but few
hundred or less therein. Caytons Weekly
gives the move it's unqualified endorsement,
but 1t seems that great majority of our
colored citizens think differently. How
ever. we can have it if we will have it. and
so let's have it.

of America.
Woo to the foreign-born American
who betrays the splendid trust which
you have reposed in him!
Woe to him who considers his
American citizenship merely as q
convenient garment to be worn in
fair weather but to be exchanged
Tor another one in time of storm
and stress!
Woe to the German American, So
called who in his sacred war for a
cause as high as any for which ever
people took up arms, does not feel
solemn urge, does not show an
eager determination to be in the very
forefront of the struggle, does not
prove patriotic jealously, in
thought, in action and in speech, to
rival and to outdo his native-born
fellowcitizen in devotion and in
willing sacrifice for the country of
his choice and adoption and sworn
aIlegiance and of their common af-
fection and pride.
AS Washington led Americans of
British blood to fight against Great
Britian, as Lincoln called upon
americans of the North to fight their
very brothers of the South, so
contracted by her.
Americans of German descent are
now summoned to join in our coun-
try's righteous struggle against Il
people of their own blood which,
under the evil spell of a dreadful
opsession, and, Heaven knows,
through no fault of ours, has made
itse.e the enemy of this peace-loving
nation. as it is the enemy of peace
and right, and freedom throughout
the world.
To gain Americas independence,
TO defeat oppression and tyranny,
was indeed to gain great cause.
To preserve the Union, to eradicate
slavery was perhaps a greater cause.
To defend the very foundations of
liberty and humanity, the very
groundwork of fair dealing between
nations, the very basis of peaceable
living together among the peoples
or the earth against the fierce and
brutal onslaught of ruthless, lawless.
faithless might; to spend the lives
and the fortunes of this generation
so that our descendants may be freed

instruments of destruction, NAV he

of peace and progress and to the

Middletown Scouts Give
ScOutmaster SendOf

In order to give the scoutmaster,
Joe Mason, a fitting sendoff. his
troop OF Boy Scouts, Troop 1, are in
Harrisburg to-day. Mr.. Mason is
going to give up the position of
scoutmaster in Middletown and the
boys wished to give him an outing
for the last day that he is in COM
mand.
They reported in school this morn
ing and the superintendent, II. J.
Wickley, gave them leave of absence
for the entire day. This morning
they were entertained by the Y. NJ.
c. A. and this afternoon they went
through the State Museum. They re-
turned to Middletown late this af-
ternoon. The members of the troop
are very loath to have Mr.. Mason
leave them and as yet no other
scoutmaster has been appointed.

chiefly by the poorer classes, but
aside from the breking of windows
and slight damage to two or three
small frame houses there was no
property loss.
The morning papers devote more
space to descriptions of Monday
nights raid than that of last night,
all agreeing that he latter was IL
failure. A few papers containing
editorial comment on the raid repeat
the demand for reprisals and call
for warnings of night raids the same
as during the day.
Lord French, commander of the
home defense, reports that the first
group of raiders which approached
London last night was driven back
by gunfire, not more than two pene-
trating the city's defenses. Half an
hour later the second group of raid
ers was driven off while approaching
London.
