DR.. Daniel Williams, the noted physi-
clan of Chicago and head of the SUR
.gical staff of st. Luke's hospital; DR..
William Galloway. president of the G.
N. and I. board and trustees; the bish-
ops of the A. NJ. Z. church and grad

march and proceeded to the auditorium
of Galloway hall, in which the exer.
-cises were held. Two thousand persons
were in attendance.
After prayer by the Rev. DR.. r. G.
Ransom Of New York President Scar
borough introduced Hon. Richard T.
Greener, who delivered the annual ad-
dress, speaking at length on 'The Old
and the New Education" tracing the
rise of the old systems of Greece and
Rome. "The contrast Of the cultured
civilization Of the one," said the speak
er, lis against the militarism Of Rome.
The rise OF the universities Of the mid
die ages, thirteenth and fourteenth CEN
turies, down to the American systems
was inherited from England. The new
education with us began about the year
1866 with the famous address Of DR..
Hedge, which led to the election of
Professor Elliott, who is known all
over the land as science teacher.
"a college or university Is distinguish
ed by its instructors, and the object of
the instruction should be to stimulate
and arouse the ambitions and the ap-
probation Of character, the true, the
beautiful and the good. We should
have no hesitancy in accepting the
new methods. It would be reflec-
tion on the present day civilization to
say that the old is better than the
new. The education had to become
practicable and adapted to the diver
sified talents and wants of the race.
There was q time when education
was solely for men, but today it In
cludes men and women, which means
the coordinate development Of the
race" The speaker referred to such
educators as John Stuart Mill, John
Ruskin, Carlyle, John Henry Newman,
Daniel A. Payne, Booker T. Washing.
ton, President Scarborough and others,
urging the graduates who were to re-
.ceiye their diplomas at the close Of
the exercises to read the works Of the
authors named, that they give stimu-
lance, that their works were useful be-

city have requested Mrs. Mary B. Tai
bert, president of the National Asso-
citation of Colored Women, to come
to Washington at once and to call the
president of every other state fedora
tion to do the same.
These women are called to take
proper steps to put the question of
lynching squarely before the Amer
ican people.
The organization has a membership
of over $4,000 of the most cultured
women of the race. Preparatory to
the coming of the leaders outside of
Washington, the women here are 60
ing ahead, quietly but determinedly, to
set in motion wave of sentiment that
will become nationwide. The first
step has been taken. 1t is made in
the following Call to Prayer:

stead Of thing to be "grinned" at
by soldiers under oath to defend the
honor of the country and in time Of
uprisings to do their duty bravely.
THE WRONGS CAN AND MUST
BE RIGHTED.
The nearest way to the conscience
of the American people is by way of
the Throne of God.
WE ARE GOING THAT WAY, and
then we are going to put our APPEAL
for justice and protection under the
law squarely up to the American peo-
pie.
We regret that this issue has been
thrust before us when we are with
the nations at war, BUT there will be
no WORLD DEMOCRACY" until the
burning Of innocent women and
babies, aged men and innocent citi-
zens of color is taken from the list of
Sports" of Civilized Americans.
WE PROPOSE to fight for our coun.
try to help against foes at home and
abroad, to conserve its food and fuel
supplies, AND WE BELIEVE that
this fight for Democracy" must begin
at Jerusalem (at home).
THEREFORE,, the women of this
city will assemble for Prayer in the

LIBERTY LOAN PLAN
to negotiate Liberty Bonds at $1O2

The bugle call has sounded-calling every man,
woman and child to the colors.
Just because you are not of conscriphon age
you are not exempt.
The quicker you 60 to yorr banker or bond
house and buy Liberty Bonds, the quicker shall we
win the war.
If you cannot go to the trenches-you can strike
telling blow against brutal despotsm.
Money is ammunition don't prolong the suffer
ing and delay the outcome by neglect to lend the
Government your ammunition-dolars.
The Kaiser does not want you to buy Liberty
Bonds-he wants you to cripple the United States
and its Allies by failure to buy them.
Everyone who can, and does not is handcapping
Uncle Sam in his righteous fight.
Make your break with the Kaiser today-go to
your banker or bond house and sign your name to
Liberty Bond purchase.
Women-here is great opportunity for you.
Serve humanity serve your country and hasten
relief by buying Liberty Bonds. Your efforts count
as much as any mans in this way.
Act now and avoid the memory that you failed
IN the hour of teStl
This means JNon!
Our Government must borrow $40 100000
from its citizens immediately
And get It with the least possible disturbance to
the business fabric of the country
To help we are operating this plan, and suggest
all other manufacturers and merchants adopt it.
1t is simplicity itself
WE WILL ACCEPT LIBERTY BONDS ON THE
BASIS OF $1o2, FOR ENTIRE OR PARTIAL
PAYMENT ON COLE MOTOR CARS
This plan accomplshes these three very neces-
say things for the success of the Liberty Bond ISSUE
I. 1t makes it easier for the Government to sell
the Liberty Bonds.
2. 1t enables the purchaser of the Liberty Bonds
to advantageously use them In securing the
necessities and comforts of life.
3. 1t fortihes, expands and develops American
business.
Cole Motor Car Conn
TT
The Washington times., 1917-05-23

For example-you want a seven-passenger Cole
touring car price $1795 at the factory indianapolis
If you possess seventeen 500 and one $50 Lib
erty Bonds, we will give you $1785 in merchandise
for them. You only pay us the difference Of $40
cash, and get the car.
Or, if you have secondhand car, let US say
worth SITS our dealer win take the and ten 500
Liberty Bonds and give you new $17e5 Cole seven
passenger touring car.
In fact, all the various types Of purchases and
trades are included in this plan. The only difference
being you use your Liberty Bonds Just you would
cash.
You can make partial payment In Liberty Bonds
for Cole car but it is to your advantage to invest
the entire Cole list price in Liberty Bonds first, then
buy your Cole car with the bonds.
No doubt you intend buying these bonds
probably have done so already.
The Cole plan helps you to do Your bit-a great
big bit too-for your Government and not incon-
venence yourself Instead, you actually sane money
by buying the bonds and using them.
If at later date you want to redeem the bonds
with which you purchased Cole car we will return
them to you.
Secretary of Treasury William G. McAdoo is
touring the country, making public appeals.
Help him in this crisis!
If he could talk to you personally you would not
hesitate because there is not shadow Of a reason
why you should not buy Liberty Bonds.
This money will be spent by our Government In
our own country for the purchase of materials and
supplies required for the proper conduct Of the war.
You do not assume singl risk In buying Liberty
Bonds-but you do help apoid innumerable risks
and dangers to yourself and others.
There never time when you could put your
money to better use
And now the Cole Liberty Loan Plan makes it
simpler and easier for you to do your duty.
