tion in France and Belgium, where
large towns have been destroyed, not
a building being left intact They
speak in glowing terms of the splen-
did accomplishments of our forces and
talk Interestingly of the French peo-
pie and their country. They are bit
ter against the Germans for their bar
barity toward women and children
The colored Americans. they say, are
great fighters and doing excellent
work with machine guns. The Ger
mans fear them. believing them to be
savages. The officers have trouble
holding the colored boys back.
Lieutenant Farrar conducted eleven
raiding parties into No Mans Land

his credit. His home is in Ell Paso
Texas. He was a civilian truck driver
during the Mexican trouble. He is
now specialist on machine guns and

Editor, Phoenix Tribune:
My dear sir: Again, 1 am taking
the liberty to consume some of your

enable appeal. l believe that if the
Tribune can be of any service to the
race, you will see to it that it per
forms that service.
enjoy reading the Phoenix Tri-
bune and really, l would rather miss
my evening meal than be without the
Tribune. feel that every member of
the race ought to send in their sub
scription and see to it that you reach
the required 1000 subscribers and
then some.
l can truthfully and honestly recon-
mend the paper as clean, newsy and
intensely interesting journal edited by
IA Christian gentleman. These things
l know to be true.
My dear editor, do you know, yes,
| know you know, that most of the
papers are giving space for sermon
each week, written by some minister?
During the closing of all public places
including the churches, the Christian
people have not had a sermon. Oh
how wish that l could read a ser
mon each week in the Tribune. Would
you, or have you considered the fact
that the Tribune reaches towns
where there are no churches and is
read by people who never go to
church? There are people who would
be glad to receive such message thru
the Tribune. Would you grant this
space? If so, you will assist the
poor ministers in reaching many.
I pray that God may let the Tri-
bune grow and grow, and l trust that
in return you may let the Tribune
serve the Lord. am taking the lib.
erty to send you a short sermon for
the next issue, and if you will publish
it, am quite sure the ministers OF
the State will fill this space each
week.
Hoping to be of service to God and
the Tribune, l am yours in Christ.

To the Editor and Readers of the
Phoenix Tribune:
We desire to let you read of some
of the happenings since influenza has
struck our city. 1t has been very
lonesome here for us and especially
for the church-going people. Nothing
but influenza everywhere. The doors
of Mt Olive Baptist church have been
closed for five straight Sundays. Our
souls are hungry for the gospel The
faithful few have remembered their
pastor, Rev. W. M. Green, 213 N.

the necessities of life. The following
contributed to the cause of Rev.
Green: Officers T. w. Williams and
Ed Smallwood, H. Jackson, B. Smith,

There are some members in the
church that you must handle with
gloves. Especially must the pastor
9nd deacons handle them with care.
Why is this? It's because they always
have their feelings in their hands. or
on the streets and sometimes they
spread them upon the floor during
services. The pastor has to be care
full not to hurt their feelings. If you
hear any whimpering. thou art the

He went to the bridge, as instructed
by the note, and when Nose came,
Smith pulled up his coat collar, pulled
down his hat, stepped out and covered
Nose with big As Colts automatic
and told him to throw up his hands.
This spoiled what otherwise might
have been real good joke on An
thony. To say that Nose was scared
is putting it mildly. He tried to beat
hasty retreat, but was handicapped
by his skirts. This difficulty was
overcome, however, when Nose aban-
doned said skirts. Thus we see the
joke was turned on the jokers.

Never before in the history of the
American Negro was there such long
ing and yearning for an opportunity
to fill the churches. 1t may be the
plan of the Almighty. Who knows? ?
There is such large per cent of the
people who manifest practically no in
terest in the growth and welfare of
the churches, that Jehovah may have
seen fit to allow the epidemic of in
fluenza privilege Of having the right of
way for a little season; how long we
cannot say. This one thing we urge:
That all Christian people be on the
alert The news that comes to us
from the east and south, both by let
ters and personal representatives con-
cerning the painful circumstances that
surround the people of the different
cities, towns, villages and hamlets,
causes US to stop and see ourselves
just as we are. Then we are made to
say: GLORY to God in the highest. On
earth, peace and goodwill to all men"
We must admit that here in Arizona
we are wonderfully blessed. Once in
while we hear of few light cases
OF influenza among our people Those
sick in our city were: Mrs. George
Green, who is up and about as usual;
Mrs. Alice Makey and daughter, do

die Gordon, just as happy as can be-
Indeed, we can say in Tucson, every
body is happy.
Miss Matilda Lee has recently re-
turned from her home in North Caro-
lima. Friends were all delighted to
welcome her back to Tucson.
Miss Carrie Lee and her friend,
Miss Teal. are proving themselves in
dispensable workers in the delicates-
sen department connected with the
great Steinfeld establishment of this
city. The young ladies are a credit
to the race.
The members and friends of Mt.
Calvary Baptist church have shown
in very tangible way that their pas
tor should not be in want. One of the

Banks, spent a few minutes of each
day, for one week, when off from his
work at meal hours, and took the re-
sponsibility upon himself to quietly
move among the people and inform
them that we should never let the
pastors money run out. After spend
ing these few minutes each day for
one week. his efforts resulted in the
handsome little sum of 3125. The
purse was presented on Monday even

tor expressed his gratitude He then
