the striking of the flag on the German

NEW BAPTIST CHURCH

The colored people of Miami and
Lower Miami are taking the prelim-
mary steps for building a house of
worship They have Baptist church
organization with d strong member
ship and are building up on that basis
while getting in shape to secure them
selves a church home.
One of the copper companie has
offered to donate vecant lot for the
building and the colored people are
now starting to secure the money for
building operations in the future.
Rev. A. Lawrence, pastor of the
white Baptist church in Lower Miami,
has been chosen by them to act as
chairman of their finances committee
and aid them in an advisory capacity.
Officers of the Colored Baptist
church organization who will have
the matter in charge are c. F. Wat
kins and r. J. Jorman, deacons; Mrs.
w. F. Watkins, clerk; Rev. S. E. New
ell, vice moderator.
They appeal to the white people OF
the district to aid them in this
church building enterprise, and say
that the colored people are not strong
enough numerically or financially to
accomplish it without the help of the
white people. They are not expecting
to build an elaborate structure, but
want a church home where they may
be able to do a more successful work
for Christ and humanity. They are all
sacrificin ga portion of their meager
earnings for the months to come to
secure this house of worship and ear
nestly appeal to the citizens generally
to aid them.
No doubt they will and should meet
with hearty and liberal response to
this appeal to the community.

Looking Ahead
BY E. j. Moore

Are we looking forward to the close
of the war? Have we begun to plan
for the great commercial era that
will be ushered in when the roar of
the cannon shall have ceased? Let
us hope so. If you are receiving good
wages now, if you are making more
money than you ever did before, re
member that this is an abnormal con
dition brought on by urgent war need
and the like But when the war is
over the reaction is bound to set in,
and as consequence, wages will take
a tumble, jobs will be less plentiful,
and somebody will be left out in the
cold.
Now is the time to exercise fore
sight by saving all We can. Every
War Savings Stamp we buy is that
much saved. Every dollar invested
in Liberty Bonds is just that much
saved, and will mean much to you
when the war is over. This is an
opportunity that has come to the door
of nearly every one of us. Are we
taking advantage of it? Such an
opportunity seldom comes more than
once in a lifetime. Shall we let it
pass?
There are some who are taking full
advantage of these opportunities, and
who will have something to show
when the lean days come. But on the
other hand, there are those who still
say, "easy come, easy go' Let the
minister talk about it from the pull
pit; let the teacher tell her pupils
about it in the school room; let the
threatres throw it on the screens; let
the secret societies incouch it in their
proclamations.
There is much need of Negro
Welfare Society, whose members
would make it a point to visit places
where the careless element of the
race gathers in large numbers and
speak to them from time to time on
the necessity of savings their earnings
during these prosperous times. Many
of them have had little or no train
ing and have no conception of the
efficacy of saving. In the pool-room,
in the dance hall, in the club, is to
be found an element that is often
overlooked in our haste for racial
betterment

WILSON DISAPPROVES
OF DEATH SENTENCE
FOR NEGRO SOLDIER
Confessed Murderer Believed by Presi-

Announcement has been made in

had disapproved of death imposed by
court martial upon Private Layton

and killed Mrs. Rose Harrity of Brook.
lyn and Private Michael Maloney at
Camp Upton last May. The Presi.
dents disapproval Of the sentence was
based upon his agreement with re-
ports that showed the murderer was
insane at the time of the crime was
committed.
James, a Negro, for several days
after the murder escaped suspicion
that he had been concerned in the
staying He was attached to Company
C, 367th Infantry. On May 5 Mrs. Har-
rity, a widow and neighbor of Private
Maloney's family, left her home at 80
Fourth street and went to Camp Upton
to visit Maloney. They were in small
woods toward the edge of the reserva-
ton when Maloney and the Negro be-
came involved in an alteration. James
shot Maloney and turned his rifle up
on Mrs. Harrity when she endeavored
to aid her escort.
Immediately after the murder James
ran out of the woods, crossed an open
section of the reservation, and then
fell into the ranks Of those running
toward the scene of the murder. Sen
tries who were on duty eventually re-
called a Negro known among his fel-
lows as "Ootmear' run from the woods
Just after the shooting. That was
James nickname in the camp and a
few days later he confessed. James
always carried Bible with him and
even read it while the police were
questioning him about the staying
1t is understood that the original
court-martial will cause James to be
committed TO an institution for the
insane.

WOMEN SECTION
HANDS ONTHE
SOUTHERN r. r.

EVANSVILLE, Ind.-The Louisville
& Nashville Railroad company has
employed Negro women on the Provi-
dence, KY, division of the road as
section hands to take the places of
the Negro men who have been called
to the colors. The women work eight
hours day and are doing the same
work the men did and are paid the
same wages. They are said to be
doing satisfactory work, and it is ex-
pected the railroad company will in
stall Negro women on other divis-
ions, and it is probable that other rail-
road companies will do the same thing.
Many of the Negro women say that
they would rather do work on the
section than be engaged in housework
and that the wages are better.

IF at first you don't succeed, try,

pile-driving machine to which he
pointed, smiling, when he was. asked
how he and his men had happened to
break the record
"That sign filed our crew with en-

night that a new worlds record would
be made on the morrow, and it was.
OF course, we had some mechanical
troubles, but the men, instead of fret
ting and fuming, just looked at the
sign and started in with renewed Wig

was smashed.
. Il am glad that the record was
made at Hog Island. Here, if man
can deliver the goods in getting the
ships out on schedule time, he gets

COLORED MAN
REGISTERED AS A
WHITE MUST SERVE

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo-, Oct.-Mr
Rufus C. Burgess, 4145 N. Middle st.,
who was registered last June by the
local draft board, and later classified
as white man because of an error
which classed him as a white man,
and who later was sent to Camp
Dodge, will have to serve in the army
through a ruling of the War Depart
ment because all the registrants, both
white and colored, of his class are ex-
pected to be called to the colors this
month.
Friends of Mr. Burgess here imme-
diately took up his case with Hon.
Emmett ]. Scott, who promptly re-
ferred the case to Provost Marshal
General Crowder. The War Depart
ment had already held that local
boards had the power of determining
the color of a registrant, and as all
men in Glass 1, both white and col
ored, will be called to the colors this
month. it did not appear that any in
justice had been done in the Burgess
case. Mr.. Scott took especial pains
to give his immediate attention to the
case. which is of unusual Importance,
because Burgess was called to camp
several weeks ahead Of time because
of the error.
