At the oroa>ists' ccnv.ntion.

At the CrosrfstS' Convention. MT. Editor:-Notwithsta the intense heat wave which mas been on now for two days, the members of the National Association of Organ ists have gathered in good numbers to attend the tenth annual convention. The various papers and recitais have been given with the usual ami nation and interest, although coats for the men have been largely discon- tinued.
 Among the events already passed which have been of especial interest was the paper given By Frank Stew art Adams, 4. 4. G D., of Cambridge, Mass, on Knowledge of the Orches- tra Valuable Aid to Church and Concert Organists." This was illus trated at the organ.
 Another paper on Practical Organ Matters" by Reginald McAIl. A. B, of New York. was intensely interest ing, and secured much discussion of for France to he engaged in relief work in connection with the McAH mission there. He is relative of the McAI who founded the mission.
 Richard Reyes Biggs, wko was one of the recitalists last year, has also gone to the front.
 T. Tertius Noble. organist of St Thomas church. New York. was heard in a recital last evening which tested the powers of the player and organ well. At the close of the recital the song "Old Glory" the mus ic composed by Homer N Bartlett, was sung by Arthur Turner, of Sprin- field and a double quartet. Mir.

GERMAN INSURANCE COMPANIES

It was not long ago that the presi- dent considered it necessary to pass an order preventing German insur- ance companies from enga ging in marine business either through new risks or Teinsuring those which had been taken by other companies This step was of course confined to the period Of the war and resulted from paries wera in a position to get val uable information relative to the movements of ships from the ports of this country which would be of much assistance if communicated to the enemy. In order to prevent any pos sibility of such information reaching the enemy through such a source it was vital that the source should be eliminated.
 Now an effort is being made through an amendment to the trade with the enemy bill to give the Ger man fire insurance companies the unrestricted right to carry on their business as in the past. There has been a feeling that these German owned or controlled companies should be prevented from doing business which would give them the opportun- ity to send their inspectors into the shipyards of the country for the as- certainment of facts which would be valuable to any agents who, as in the past, might be bent upon causing des- truction and it must be realized that safety dictated the feeling.

LETTERS TO HE EDIT0?
No Reason Why Negroes Should Not
 Come North.

Come North.
 Mir. Editor: Would like to say in re- ply to Mr. Cummings letter that he has much to learn concerning the con- ditions under which the negroes in the South are living. In the first place there are no claims to bind them nor any reasons why they should not come North to their brethren to live and die, where they are not offered grease" and corn meal" It's very evident that he has never visited the South where much has, and is being done for the "pocr down -trodden race" The negro college short distance from Savannah equals any to be found either north or south The southern negroes. OF most of them. are far happier than many whom I have seen in this city and elsewhere in the North. If the negroes in the South are not satisfied with the treat nnent that is accorded them. then why do they not one and all come to a more congenial climate-where there are no Jim Crow cars-and where the,' "grea SC" to feed upon. and no white friends to go to when they can find no work2 Mir.

Views of the Vigilantcs
WHAT PATRIOTISM MAY MEAN TO
 A WOMAN
By Christine Terhune Herrick of the
 Vigilantes.

Vigilantes.
 Patriotism means a lot to most of us when it is accompanied by a sort of grandstand play. We can all feel thrills and chokings in out throat at the sight of Old Glory borne up the street ahead of a brass band playing patriotic airs.
 The time when we get over that and feel the hadships of patriot are when we go home and plan for meals or count up change left after doing the days marketing. or debate upon what we can afford to have for dinner. Then we shed our trailing robes of glory and begin to grumble like any unin- spired creatures who have never cheered a flag or kept step to martial music.
 Why were we ever drawn into this wretched war;" we cry. Look at the price of meat and vegetables! Do you know what I had to pay for my last bag of flour? It's a shame that the necessities of life should be tax ed like this, No children! You can rot have cream on your strawberries and I'm not sure I can afford to get the strawberries. Such a nuisance having to pinch and fuss like this. I am sick to death of it!'
 Just then and there you show that you don't know all patriotism can mean to a. woman. Stop and think why everything is higt-priced. why

Insuring the soldiers is a wise plan for avoiding pension uncertainties and scandals attended and followed the civil war and the Spanish American conflict.

 As for the men finally drafted they will stand high in the affection of all men and women who realize what the undertaking is in which this republic has enlisted. By older and thoughtful men and women to whom is denied the opportunity to serve their country in active ways, their enlistments will be regarded as the greatest of privileges.

 An ingenious recipe for war food describes in detail and in considerable variety the mixing of certain measures of potato and of flour. This does not seem to be very economical. We are trying to save potatoes and four and both are expensive. If there are enough of these to mix together why not enough to eat apart by themselves as vegetables and bread?
 What we want is to be able to make bread out of something nobody can eat in any other form. The crop of gress that is so abundant with little chance of getting cut and dried and put into barns, offers an invita- ton to the inventive.
