IS GOD AN ALLY OF THE KAISER


The German Kaiser in a speech to
his second army is reported to have
said: "The year 1917 with its great
battles has proved that the German
Ieople have in the Lord of Creation
above an unconditional and avowed
ally on whom it can rely. without
Him all would have been in vain!'
Such statement reaches the sublim-
ity of egoism, and is only a para
phrase of the exploded dictum of q
much deluded Napoleon, which a de-
luded Kaiser seeks to perpetuate on
the minds of a misguided people.
History has proved that God was
not on the side of the strongest bat
allion; and Napolean met his Water
loo.
It must now be clearer than ever in
the minds of the American people
that this Teuton bragart is re-
solved to have no other peace than a
peace dictated from Berlin, on terms
which would leave tn eworld in a
worse state of turmoil than the pres.
ent.
Peace, to be an enduring peace
must come neither through the "iron
fish" NOR the Shining sword" Of the
Kaiser, but through the united effort
and unfaltering determination Of q
world awakened to the perils of a
German victory, determined that God
is not an ally of the German war
lord, but on the contrary an ally OF
Justice and equity.

WENTY-FOURTH
INFANTRY TRAGEDY
Comments by the White Press.
Houston and East st. Louis.
From the Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftain,
Dec. IA.

The people of the United States
will generally approve of the SEN
tences that were imposed on the
members of the colored regiment who
mutinied at Houston, Texas At the
same time the people of the country
will demand that a similar punish
ment be meted to the white men who
killed the Negroes in East st. Louis
a few weeks before the occurrence
at Houston. If anything. the acts of
the white people in East st. Louis
were far more grave than the acts
of the Negroes in Houston. In no
manner was either act eNcusable, and
the military authority exercised wise
judgment in inhicting a sure and
quick punishment on the Negroes.
If the civil population in East st.
Louis fail to inllict a similar punish
ment on the men who were guilty
of those murders and crimes, it will
only go to show that our government
falls down in certain circumstances
and ii will only go to increase the
feeling that punishment is not fairly
meted out.

BISHOP-ELECT DEMBY.

The Diocese of Arkansas has again
shown wise discrimination in the cleo
ton of a Bishop Suffragan for work
among the colored people of that Dio-
cese. Archdeacon Demby, like Arch
deacon Russell, who declined the
election, is a man of proven ability
in trying and difficult field. He
knows the South MISUNDERSTANDING
spent the greater portion of Ills min
istry there. He is a man OF sound
scholarship, broad sympathies, great
missionary zeal, decided administra-
tive ability and of uncompromising
loyalty to the faith which he profess
es and teaches.
The Anglican communion to which
the Episcopal Church belongs, has
given the priesthood to hundreds of
men of African blood and descent,
and has elevated some six or seven
to tie episcopate. The American
Episcopal Church has given the epis-
copate 81 two colored priests, the late
James theodore Holly and the late
Samuel David Ferguson, but their
sees lay outside of the United States
The Bishop Sulfragan Of Arkansas
will be the first colored priest of the
American church to be consecrated fol
service within the United States. AS
this will be an epoch-making event
in the religious life of colored Ameri
cans, the election of Spffragar
Bishop for Arkansas has an impor
tance beyond the limits of that specia
diocese and communion
Should Archdeacon Demby accep
his election, which we believe he will
he will carry into that high office
the same devotion, conservation ant
high ideals which have characterized
his entire ministry.
We congratulate Arkansas ant
Archdeacon Demby upon this unani
nous lection.-Omaha Monitor.

7HE NEGRO AND
ElHE FOOD CRISIS

y Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, whose twenty
five years of constructive work as
principal of Hampton Institute, the
pioneer school for the industrial train
ing of Negro and Indian youth, made
him Known around the world as an
educational statesman, declared, short
ly before his death, belief in the
bower and willingness of Negroes to
meet the (ood crisis imposed on the
world ty 4 lhe Great War, He said:
THE citing need of the present
timA is ali increased food supply,
TnousaA IDS Of people on the other side
are dying of starvation. For years to
cone thd Question of raising sufficient
food wilp be one of the great prob
lens of his country.
There Iare twelve million blacks in
this country, nearly 80 per cent of
whom are OIL the land.
Hampton Institute has been train
ing agricultural and industrial lead
ers of thete people. 1t has sent out
nearly ten thousand young people
with a knd dwledge of plants, animals,
and soils, (which makes it possible
for them tO instruct the masses of
their race i'm hetter methods Of farm
ing.
"Hamptonl prepares its young peo.
pie to be instructors-the boys in farm
ing and the girls in cooking, garden
ing, canning and all that makes for
improved food conditions"

Negroes Meet the Crisis.

DR.. Frissell spent thirty-seven prec-
lous years in helping colored men and
women to develop their latent powers.
He instilled in thousands upon thou
sands of cOlored citizens the ideal of
intelligent and unselish service.
TEe refu of Dr. Frissells life and
work, at and through Hampton Insti-
tute lis clearly shown, for example, in
the work of the NEGRO Organization
Society of Virginia.
UudeT the leadership of Allen W.
washington, this Society touches the
lives of over 100000 colored citizens
OF Virginia. 1t has been cooperating
cheerfull,y and successfully with Her.
bert HOOVER and his associates in the
Food Administration propaganda.
Today Negroes by the hundreds of
thousandsA scattered throughout the
nation, ar9 seriously devoting them
selves to making workable plans for
increasing the nations supply of food
and conserving the products of the
1arm through a more intelligent use
OF those products in the kitchen. Ne
groes are injecting squarely and sue
cessfully the food crisis imposed by

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

Meharry is always glad to well
come visitors DR.. II. H. Walker,
now bearing the distinguished title
of Captain in the U. S. Army, graced
the Emancipation Day platform, in
his military garb. He had words of
cheer and hope to offer to the 400
Meharry men who had enlisted in the
Medical Reserve Corps. DR.. j. w.
Tildon of Fort Worth, Texas, father
of the Tilden brothers now in Mehar-
ry honored the institution by visit
to his two sons and son-in-law. He
sat upon the platform and when in
troduced spoke words of cheer and
commendation to the large audience
who witnessed the Emancipation EX-
ercises.
DR.. E. ]. Gum and wife visited the
Colleges January 1st.
The Rock City Academy of Medi-
cine held a reception in honor of
Capt. H. H. Walker at the Y. M. c.
A., Wednesday night. The members
of the Academy and DR.. M. G. Nit
chell of Montezuma, Ca, brought
eight operative cases into the hospi-
tai this week. The phenominal sue
cess which attended the former four
cases brought by the good doctor
gave confidence to others suffering.
The student body in all the de-

Mistreatment Not ExecusabIe.

"The hanging of thirteen Negro
soldiers, who participated iH the
Houston riot last August was the
most drastic military punishment Il
the history of the United States.
Forty-one others were sentenced to
serve shorter terms.
1T was terrible crime that these
men committed. 1t has been terribly
punished, and justly and properly
punished. No excuse could be made,
no leniency shown to the men in the
United States uniform who set out
deliberately to commit indiscriminate
murder. They were soldiers Will

that her husband would at any time
participate in naval engagement and
the excitement attending the recent
light had been strain upon her nerves

prescribed a sedative and left direc-
tons that she was to be kept quiet.
But Mrs. Peckham did not recover
from the strain as soon as was expect

A telegram from Key West appeared
In morning paper stating that little
naval tender, commanded by Leslie
Holt, had been wrecked ON one of the
keys and all on board had been lost.
Mrs. Lyall kept this news from her
niece as. long as she dared, hoping the
invalid would gain strength and there
would be less danger In communicating
it to her. Finally, fearing that Kate
might hear it from others, she told her
Of young Holt's death.
IT anything was needed to complete
the conviction that the wrath of the
man who had told her she had wrecked
his life had visited her.. the announce
ment of his death supplied 1t. A sub
seQuent letter, however, from Peckham
served to tighten the blow. Kate felt
that the matter had no reference to
her husband; 1t was between her and
Leslie Holt She considered 1t pun
ishment for having trif1ed with him
and broOded and brooded, and all ef-
forts on the part Of her friends to con-
vince her that there was nothing in it

have two reinforced concrete arches 81
feet long. 1t is a part OF the general pur-
pose of the State to build trunk road
from Newport to st. Adams, along the
northern boundary of the State in which
the Canadian government is cooperating.
The engineer OF the Canadian govern
ment located its end of the bridge, which
was more difficult than on the Vermont
side and then II. NJ. Mcintosh. State engi-
neer located the Vermont end. to match
the Canadian plan, with the result that
they have planned a bridge across the Mis-
ssquoi river at a point where 1t can be
most easily constructed This work Is but
part of that which will be done. but the
rest of it which is the elimination Of u

time or under this contract. The State In
