At Republican State Con-
Uent on, Saratoga, ". Y.

The two prime purposes of the
American people at this time, having
precedence of all others, are: first
to insist upon the absolute and thor
oughgoing Americanization of our
entire citizenship; and second, to
win the war, to win it as speedily as
possible, and to end il by the peace
of overwhelming victory, a peace
which shall guarantee to us, and to
our Allies and to all well-behaved
nations of the civilized world, lasting
relief from the threat and horror of
German world dominion.
AS regards Americanism, we must
insist that there be in this country
but one Nationality, the American
nationality. There must be no per-
petuation in this country Of /5parate
national groups, with their< separate
! languages and special losalties to
alien oversee flags. There can be no
lifty-lifty Americanism in this coun-
try. There is room here only for 100
per cent Americanism, only for those
who are Americans and nothing else

to the Nashville Globe:
Secretary of was Baker has

result of the successful agitation on
the part of the American People

proven efficient as a nurse, rearing
practically all of the white children
of the South, caring for them in their

In GRAND COURT
TO OBSERVE
NASH. DAY.
Most Churches Close SerDice
Great Rally at Training
School.
BIG CHORUS WILL FURNISH
EXCELLENT MUSIC.

Sunday, July 2S, will be one of the
biggest days in Nashville's church
history. 1t is to be known as Mash
Iille Day" at the National Baptist
Theological and Training Seminary.
The members of the many Baptist
churches oil the city are expected to
be present. This is the one great Ne
gro Baptist Theological and Train
ing School to be owned, operated and
controlled by the Negroes. The
ground upon which this school stands,
the beautiful buildings and fixtures
belong exclusively to the Negro Bap-
lists. This school is supported by the
Baptist family of America as it is
national institution, but because it is
situated in Nashville, the citizens
generally feel it their duty to make
special efforts for its success.
A number of the churches will dis
pense with their morning and after
noon services for that day. DR.. c H.
Clark, the able pastor Of Mt. Olive,
will deliver a sermon at IL O'Clock
and DR.. w. S. Ellington will deliver
the sermon for the afternoon. Short
talks will be made by other eminent
speakers.
Five thousad people are expected
on the grounds of the Seminary Sun
day to hear what is being said and
see what is being done for the Negro
Baptists by the Negro Baptists. Rev.
]. l.. Harding, the Editorial Secre
tary, said, The Negro Baptists of
Nashville have not had an opportunity
to see and inspect this great college
building and campus, and | am con-
fident that when they see the build
ings and ground, the wonderful pos
sibilities of the race will loom up
before them and their denominational
interest and racial pride will prompt
every intelligent one to shoulder the
responsibility willingly and cheer.
fully The people will be Inspired
when they know that during the
last four weeks a Theological and
Training Institute has been conduct
ed with fine classes each day. They
had an average daily attendance OF
fourteen students in each class, study
ing theology, Interpretation of the
English Bible, grammar, Sunday
school, Teacher-training and Chris
tian doctrine"
Some of the best pastors in anG
out of the city matriculated at the

tion ever held in this jurisdiction was
called to order by the Grand Chancel-
lor, DR.. ]. P. Crawford. The morn
ing session of the first day was given
over partly to welcome addresses, but
mainly to organizing the Grand
Lodge which was done in surpris-
ingly short time through the untir-
ing efforts of Sir A. w. Fite, who was
the chairman of the Credentials Com
mittee. Rev. w. S. Ellington, the
popular pastor of the First Baptist

mastery address of welcome to the
assembled knights. Rev. Ellington

the Grand Master of the Odd Fellows
OF this state was called upon to

The appointment of Committees was
completed before the adjournment of
the morning session.
The most interesting feature or the
afternoon session was the address of
the Grand Chancellor. His address
demonstrated plainly his devotion to
the order. His provisions for the
safety of the institution in time of
war as suggested in the address
gives proof of the fact that he is ever

will undoubtedly continue up to the
last week in August, the triumphant
reelection of Almond w. Scott as

an overwhelming mapority to succeed
himself in the office he has admins

credit and distinction. No more
popular Grand Exalted Ruler than
Scott has ever occupied the premiers
chair of this splendid order
The reason is not difficult of dis
cerment. In the first place, Mr.. Scott,
while not lacking in properdignity,
is proverbailly and naturally, "a good
fellow" He puts on no "frills" and
gives the man in humble station the

everywhere has generated the highest

order has held its own in lodges

The longdrawn out fight for Ne

many thousand, who have been regis
tered with the American Red Cross
Society, awaiting their call to duty,
are to have their chance to render
the service that their patriotism and
devotion to their fathers, brothers and

for and vigorously clamor for.
At six of the largest army camps in
the country, where more than $4,000
colored soldiers are stationed,a goodly
number of colored nurses will be as
signed to care for their own kith and
kin. These camps are Funston, Grant
Sherman, Taylor, Dodge and Dix,
and each has well-equipped base
hospital. These nurses are assigned
from the registration lists of the
:, .merican Red Cross Society and all
applications for service of this kind
should be made to the officials of that
organization.
General Pershing has been asked

 American business having passed through a world war, is naturally in confused state of mind problems pressing for solution.
 few days the greatest industrial endeavor speed up production, to obtain labor supply and get out the product at all cost Now the government is retrenchng, abandoning new war projects and ap plying the brakes gradually possible, but none the less forciby.
 The readjustment to peace basis is already in prospect Industrial leaders maintain that prices will be slow to yield, but few economists doubt that the cessation of demands hardly help but bring about a radically lower commodity price level if the laws of supply and demand given full play.
 There is good to believe that the same laws may be allowed to operate without restraint in the coming period of uncertainty To maintain an industrial equilibrium and to prevent widespread un- employment will probably be deemed to be as import ant as the elimination of imitation and profteering during the war. Consequently, the War Industries Board, the Shipping Board and the other government commissions may quite likely stand by until daylight is visible on the financial and business horizon.
 It is notable that through these past few days of stress strain following the reaction to sober oning the noXication of the peace news railroad They seem to dscounut the relaxation of the money stringency which bankers feel must occur by next spring.
