One Of the striking events OF the
week was the resumption OF goIo

more to make the weeks total S4S,

gold was turned over to the Federal

lent rather more than usual interest
to today's statement Of the New York
Clearing House.
Shipments To Continue
1t is probable that still more ship
ments will be forthcoming from time
to time for the purpose Of keeping
down the money rates on this side OF
the Atlantic. Lord Cunliffe, governor
OF the Bank OF England, quite frank
ly stated that England would prob
ably continue the shipments for that
purpose. Nevertheless money rates
displayed a marked inclination to
stiffen, and toward the end OF the
week Industrial loans were quoted at
~ to ~ per cent, with q few trans
actions at per cent Call money
ruled between IN and 8 per cent.

AS to the matter of saluting, or mill

is only a form of greeting men that
are in the same profession you are in
that greeting because the insignia of
an officer means hard work, and they
are responsible for your life, if it is
in battle or peace. l ask you men
that you show the other men in this
camp that you respect the men that
them you are in the game to be the
best.
There is one thing more l want to
ask of you and have you get into
your minds, this is no plaything; it
is business of killing; if you don't
kill you will be killed; so determine
today that you are going to learn to
do it better than the German soldier.
They are fighting in every way one
can imagine these days, with guns,
knives, bayonet, poison gas and. best
of all, with the fist.

ATTUckS SCHOOL.

In the recent bond campaign that
closed so successfully Saturday night,
Attucks school took advantage of the
opportunity to teach the pupils to be
charitable as well as patriotic. There
were $3.50 worth of bonds handled
through the school. Five bonds were
purchased for the school by pupils
and teachers. The third and fourth
grades, taught by Mr.. Watson and
Mrs. Mcclellan. purchased one bond.
The fourth and fifth grades, taught
by Miss Olden and Miss Moore.
bought one. The sixth grade, taught
by Miss Whiteside. bought one, and
the seventh grade, taught by Miss
Walton, bought two. These bonds
are the property of the school and
will be handled by board composed
of Principal Harrison and his faculty
The different institutions of this
community will evidently be the recip-
tents of these bonds or what interest
might accrue from them. Such as the
children who greatly need clothing,
shoes and so forth, the Orphans
Home, hospitals, and any other insti-
tutions that, the board feels should
be supported in this way. Each teach
er and the custodian, Mr.. Collins, is
the proud possessor of at least one
bond, some two.
Attucks is progressing nicely and
growing so rapidly two rooms have
Just been opened in the M. f. church
across Woodland avenue from the
main building. They are splendidly
equipped, heated, lighted and venti
lated, Two new teachers will be
added to the present corps, which Is

NEGROES SUBSCRIBE $4,000.

The Negro committee reported that
100000 had been subscribed by Ne
groes. This does not indicate the
bonds that have been bought by en-
ployees of various industrial enter
prises and railroads. William T. Kem-
per said that he was surprised to see
so good a showing, and that he did
not expect the Negroes to subscribe
more than 100000, because their
committee was not appointed until
few days before the close of the cam
paign. They did not have the COM
pletc organization and facilities for
reaching their people and urging the
buying of bonds.
1t is especially creditable to the
Negroes of the community that they
succeeded in reaching their quota of
500, 900. a sum which the leaders
of the movement among the people
of their race had voluntarily estab-
lished as their goal. The sum is
small in comparison with the huge
aggregates rolled up by other sub
divisions of the population, but a
great many considerations entered
into the Negro campaign which were
absent from that carried on by other
classes" interests, etc. That $780,
600 should be raised exclusively
among the Negroes of the community
is an admirable tribute to their patri-
otism and no small testimony to the
spirit of self-sacrifice which animated
them. From every point of view,
therefore, Kansas City lived up to
the best traditions of the kansas
City spirit" and all concerned in
rolling up this victory may have an
abundant share in the common credit.

on your account,
To be good soldier means to be
clean. You have not yet received
your uniforms, but l am very glad
of that; we can get in the dirt and
mud, and if you get soiled it will not
be any great harm done; then after
you are through your cluosed order

you l want you to BE the cleanest
regiment in the camp. When you
come out for review they will say you
are the best looking soldier after
all.
There is one thing more that l wish
to say before l close. l. your Colonel,
know there is not a man before me
that will ever turn his back to the

race such an act.
