streets. The church was appropri-
ately decorated with flags, bunting
and flowers. The rostrum was heavily
I draped with large American flags
extending entirely across the church.
The walls and center of the church
were covered with flags and the bal.
cony had long steamers which
reached to the floor. The entire edi-
flee presented a very patriotic scene.
The church was filed with an
enthusiastic audience and the speak
ers were warmly received. Every
body seemed to realize the weight
ness of the situation and there was
spirit Of earnestness permeating
the meeting that made everyone
feel called upon to do his bit. All
the speakers were keyed up for the
occasion and patriotism and democ-
racy were the ringing themes that
stirred the speakers to their best
efforts. The Institute concert band
gave some splendid selections and
their music was full of patriotism.
At $3.50 o'clock Alonzo Drain, chair
man Of the meeting, announced the
program and in his opening remarks
he said:
Ladies, fellow citizens and SOL
diers of this great American repub-
lie, we are facing a crisis which
patience and long suffering have
failed to bring to an end. We must
now resort to the exchange of bull
lets, shot and shell as the best means
to establish the principles Of democ-
racy both on land and the high seas.
To that end the president has called
for men to put in force the edicts
OF the American people and the best
blood of the country is answering
that call. These are the times when
all men must stand by the president
and the flag; there is no time to
tolerate the Stacker or the traitor.
This Is one country, one flag and
one nation and that man or nation
who undertakes to tamper with this
undivided people stands alone and
condemned.
Emmett j. Scott of Tuskegee has
been appointed by President Wilson
as special assistant to the secretary
of war. IN making this appointm ent
Secretary Baker used these stgnifl
cant words, We are anxious to beat
Germany and to do it we must have
maximum efficiency from all SOL
dierS.' To the men now enlisttng
those words carry great message
that is of vast Importance. Maxi
mum efficiency is what this country
wants and will be satisfied with moth
ing less. This splendid demonstra-
ton tonight by the citizens of Keo-
kuE is a fitting testimonial Of the
confidence and trust reposed in her
men who have been called to the
front.

There isn't any reason why we
should feel sad tonight, in every city
and hamlet throughout this country
the boys are going to war. This is
wonderful opportunity for you boys,
never before in the history of this
country have you had such opportun-
tiles. The best blood of your race is
in this war. Not once since you boys
have enlisted has dishonor been
brought upon you.
This is great country, it has
done much for you and for me, it
protects our lives, property and all it
asks, that we be loyal to it. The 10y
atty and gratitude of every man, wo-
men and child is on trial. Remember
that most Of these boys are coming
back, not that there boys are afraid to
die. but the terrible part of it all Is,
the suffering of the mothers and
fathers.
Let me say to you boys, you have
splendid traditions to live up to.
When DR.. Phillips said that the first
blood shed for American liberty was by
black man, he spoke the truth. Girls
