'BESSEMER BOARD
 OF TRADE ACTIVE
Committee Is Encouraged Over Valley Creek Canal
 Prospects

Bessemer, July Especial )-The local
 workers for the Valley creek canal are
 very much encouraged over the recent
 developments throughout the state indi-
 eating that number of cities will line
 up in favor of the canal This fact was
 disclosed last night at the meeting of
 the Birmingham Civic association, when
 messages from the Tuscaloosa Board of
 Trade and the Mobile Chamber of Com
 merce were read, indorsing the canal
 and pledgng cooperation. A large
 number of members from the Bessemer
 Board of Trade, who have been active
 In the effort to secure the canal at
 tended the meeting last night. It is
 stated that President Wilson has gone
 on record as favoring the early irn- provement of navigable streams to re- lieve the congested condition of the rail- roaa3. This is regarded as encouraging by the Bessemer members of the commit tee, as they believe the Valley creek ca nal could be made the outlet to the heaviest tonnage producing center in the south, the Birmingham district.
 The farmers of this district are com blaming on the condition of county roads, it being stated that no work has been done on many of the roads in sev- eral months. It is contended that many of the main highways of this end of the
 county were built with chert on foun- dation of loose rock, and for miles the l chert on some of these roads has been washed away, leaving the jagged rocks protruding. The board of revenue will be asked to send the county convicts to this section for road work

 STILL AIDING ALLIES
 The chancellor said that he was to some extent disappointed that despite the aid from America the British ad- vances to allies had increased.
 We hold, however" he continued, that the allies are one, and that money spent on our allies is money spent on ourselves.
 T am satisfied that President Will son and the great nation he repre- sents will deal with this question in the same spirit of generosity. realiz- ing that the cause of the allies is one, and that we can rely upon receiving from the United States the resources necessary to pay for the supplies of all kinds required by the allies"
 TOTAL ADVANCES The total advances to allies and do- minions of Great Britain were 1925, 000 GOO, MT. Bonar Law stated, while the total advance to the fdominions was FLAG, 100000 Part of the increased army expenditures, he explained, was due to the fact that Great Britain had made greater payments to India for services rendered in connection with the war There was also an increased eXpendi- ture for airplanes Another increase in army expenditures, he noted, was due to the fact that the casualties at the front had been lower than last year The net daily increase in war expendi- tures aside from loans to allies and following for expenditure which subse- quently would be repaid, continued the chancellor was f300,000. It was evident, i he went on, that the budget estimate would be largely exceeded, mainly on account of advances to great Britains allies. The total amount of the votes of credit for the war now was f5.292,- 000,000, the chancellor announced

National Body Asked to
Exert Every Effort to De-
feat German Power
UNFLINCHINGLY
FOR PROHIBITION

ST. LOUIS. Nov. i5-Oliver Wilson,
Of Peoria, Ill.,, master Of the National
Grange in an address before the an
nual meeting Of the National Grange
yesterday declared that the world war
represents the most frightful price
humanity has ever paid for an ideal"
But only by paying such a price, he
said, shall a real and lasting worlds
peace be attained and the opportunities
Of freedom and liberty be guaranteed
TO every people"
He added the time was propitious for
a statement Of purpose today and
said;
1T is our opinion that the National
Grange could here and now declare TO
the world its unqualified consecration
to the great world task now facing
civilization Of driving forever from ex-
istence the greatest world outlaw that
history has ever recorded, an empire
that has prostituted itself in the wor-
ship Of brute force, that has hurled
to the winds all the ideals Of honor,
morality and decency; that has stopped
to acts Of murderous lusts, and that
constitutes, until destroyed, a menace
to every principle Of civilization and
even Of Christianity Itself"
National prohibition has always been
favored by the grange, he said, and
added:
Food dictators are asking that we
observe a wheatless and meatless day
each week. Why do they not include
a beerless day7 The grange must be
active in the future as in the past 70
drive forever from our fair land the
manufacture and sale OF all alcoholic
beverages"

HOWARD UNIVERSITY

I TOWARD University, which is to
the colored race what Yale or
Princeton, or Harvard is to the
white, has just completed a half CEN
tury of successful work for the up
lift and advancement of it's students,
and for colored people in general, for
the radius of its influence for good
has not been by any manner of means
confined to those who have been grad
uated from it's courses.
The university has given diplo-
mas to 1851 students since
1867, including 1000 physi-
clans S44 teachers, III lawyers,
423 ministers of the Gospel, S24 dem
lists, 264 pharmacists, in addition to
many who have gone forth from it's
classes into other useful walks of life
Among the Howard men in Harris
burg are such prominent representa-
tives of the eolored race as DR.. Steph-
en- j. Lewis W. Justin Carter and DR..
Charles H. Champion, not to mention
DR.. B. B. Jeffers, of steelton. All over
the nation the students of Howard
are making names for themselves in
the everyday work of the community
and are doing much 70 the advance
ment Of the people among whom they
labor.
1t is gratifying to note that where
the university was graduating dozens
and scores few years back, its stu
dent body now numbers hundreds
every year. There can be no better
indication of the desire of the colored
people of the country to improve
themselves and their condition in life
than this vast INCREASE in the enroll
ment at Howard, which is in the
realm of higher education what Tus-
kegee is to the industrial development
of the Negro of the South.

The Sweep Toward Freedom

The developments in Russia are a
part of the great spirit of social unrest
plainly apparent to all of us. Where
1t will lead to or when it will stop can
not be told by man.
In different periods it has taken on
different forms and some countries
have been more backward than others
among them Russia.
But the sweep toward freedom has
been irresistible. The victory in Russia
even though il may not be perman-
ent or altogether satisfactory to it's
promoters-is one of the first fruits
of the war.
Age-long aspirations of the people
in other lands will be realized during
the period of reconstruction to follow
the war.
The war will be a terrible price to
pay even for all this. But it has always
been so. Four thousand battles were
fought to win freedom of speech, and
blood ran like water.
Vicarious sacrifce-that is. the Civ
ing up of life for the sake of another

Freedom in Russia

From the Philadelphia Ledger.1
The manifesto CT the Russian Pro-
vistonal Government to the nation
whereby a vast underground popula-
ton" OF political exiles is released to
the light of the new day from the
prisons of Siberia is not inaptly COM
parable with the ul<ase of Alexander
II of March 3, 1861, whereby the serfs
were freed When these freedmen be-
came peasant proprietors they were
still oppressed by a burden of taxes
insupportably heavy, so that much OF
the ameliorative effect of the change In
the then political status was lost. The
present popular government is not in
different to the lessons of the agrarian
crisis that followed in the opening
years of this century. 1t proposes to
grant freedom in fact as well as in
name by removing the political disabili-
ties, of which the Jews have been con-
spicuous victims. and conceding uni-
versal suffrage to create a constitu-
tional assembly truly representative OF
the sovereign will. which in recent
events has been so impressively made
manifest.
Home rule for Finland is part of the
great scheme. The Governor of Finland
is now q prisoner at Petrograd; and by
an ironic reversal the former presi-
dent OF the Finnish Diet is released
from exile in Siberia.
The Minister of Justice has made II
one of his first acts to release the aged
grandmother of the Russian revolution
Katherine BreshkoVskaya.
