The recent Session of the Grand
Lodge of United Brothers of Friend
ship which has just closed at Mober-
ly, Missouri, was one of the most
successful in the history of the Or
der, largely due to the initiative and
personality of it's splendid Grand Mas
ter, DR.. ]. H. Williams, of this city,
who has rapidly developed into one
of the commanding figures of the race
in this country.
Last Spring when the President of
the United States called for the pre-
siding officers of the various frater-
nal organizations to meet him in con-
ference he was the only representa-
tive of the race present, and was
shown marked attention by Secre-
taries McAdoo and Baker and by the
President himself. And he set high
mark to all fraternities throughout
the country when in the name of his
splendid organization he bought $l0,'
600 worth of Liberty Bonds. DR.. Will
liams is a native son of Missouri, ed
ucated in the public schools of this
state, and after finishing a medical
course at Meharry University, taught
school for several years in cOnjunc-
ton with his practice until his abil-
ity required larger field and he
came to Kansas City some years ago,
where he has built up a wonderful
practice and ranks os one of our fore
most citizens. Dr. Williams grew up
comparatively in U. B. F. organiza-
tions, having been a member since a
boy and has been honored ton ac-
count of his peculiar ability to
achieve success in all his undertak-
ings) with many offices of RESPONSE
bility and trust, now serving his
fourth year in the highest office in
the gift of the fraternity-Grand Mas
ter.
AS a slight token of their appreci-
alton of his worth, DR.. Williams was
presented by the Kansas City repre-.
sentatives to the Grand Lodge and
Grand Temple last week with beau
tiful diamond pin and also with an
elegant and expensive handbag by the
officers of the Grand Lodge. Through
his efforts more newspaper space was
given through the white press to the
recent Grand Lodge Session than ever
accorded Negro organization in this
state. and many compliments were
showered upon him for his brilliant

though we did not meet the President,
we inspected the buildings and
grounds which should be a source of
pride to the people of Charlton Coun-
ty and also met Rev. Cohron, the pas
tor of the church, formerly of ST. JOS
eph, Mo, with whom we chatted pleas
antly for a few moments. We called
on the Master of the Masonic Lodge
Prof j. M. Barton, but were inform
ed that he was down at Keytesville,
the county seat, six miles away for
which we left Immediately. The first
man we met was Prof. Barton as we
drove into the city. We only tarried
here for moment then left for Sal
isbury where Bentley, the driver, was
born and reared. Here we had lunch
con while Bentley had an opportunity
to visit his relatives, his father being
one of the substantial citizens of this
little City. From Salisbury we drove
rapidly into Moberly stopping for a
few moments at Huntsville, the coun-
ty seat to greet a few old friends and
to inspect the Masonic Hall OF which

"THE MEMPHIS Blues"

Irwin S. Cobb in Saturday Evening
Post
Two days we stayed on there with
an American Negro regiment near the
'front.', and they were two days of a
superior variety of continuous black
face vaudeville. There was the even
ing when for our benefit the men or
ganized an impromptu concert fea-
turing a quartet that would succeed
on any mans burlesque circuit and
troupe of buck and wing dancers
whose equals it would be hard to find
on the Big Time. There was the next
evening when the band of forty pieces
serenaded us. / think surely this
must be the best regimental band in
our army. Certainly it is the best
one | have heard in Europe during
the war On parade when it played
the Memphis Blues" the men did not
march; the music poured in at their
ears and ran down to their heels, and
instead of marching they literally
danced their way along.
AS for the dwellers of the French
towns in which this regiment has from
time to time been quartered, they,
am told, fairly go mad when some al
Turing, compelling ragtime tune is
played with that richness of syncopa-
ted melody in it which only the black
man can achieve; and as the regi-
ment has moved on, more than once
it has been hard to keep the unat-
tached inhabitants of the village that
the band was quitting from moving on
with ii.
If | live to be a hundred and one /
shall never forget the second night,
which was a night of splendid, flaw
less full moon. We stood with the
regimental staff on the terraced lawn
of the chief house in a half-deserted
town five miles back from the
trenches, and down below us in the
main street the band played planta-
tion airs and hundreds of Negro SOL
diers Joined in and sang the words
Behind the masses of upturned dark
faces was ring of white ones where
the remaining natives of the place
clustered, with their heads wagging
in time to the tunes.
And when the band got to "Way
Down Upon the Suwanee River" l
wanted to cry, and when the drum
major, who likewise had a splendid
barytone voice, sang, as an interpo-
lated number, Joan of Arc" first in
English and then in excellent French,
the villagers openly cried; and an ell
derly peasant, heavily bewhiskered,
with the tears of joyous and thank
full enthusiasm running down his
bearded cheeks, was with difficulty
restrained from throwing his arms
about the soloist and kissing him
