leader Of his race, ably responded to
tho welcome address of Gov. Edge
and Mayor Bacharach He singled
out inspiring facts revealing the in

ton Of what democracy meant and
asserted that the Negro was unswerv
1ngly loyal to his country and expect
cd his contribution for the ultimate
triumph of democracy to bring him

tain phases of the Negroes life and
his constant devotion to his country
despite his prescriptions and his in
spring optimism combined with his
happy way Of reaching his applaud

Hon. j. c. Napier, president OF the
body, ably presided and was assisted
by Charles Banks, OF Mound Bayou,
Miss. and Charles II. Brooks, OF Phil

greatly inspired tho vast audience.
The message brought by Captain

by DR.. Roman. OF Nashville, Tenn,

: It was clearly demonstrated at this
session that the mantle of the illus

on DR.. II. r. Motion, principal of

he spoke he was given the kind of
ovation which showed that his lead

Of the war.
Mr.. Scott in his report called atten

BAD NEWS FOR BERLIN.

The war news from the Eastern
front these days is bad news for the
German people. Quotations from
German newspapers portray the
gloom that overhangs the people in
the large cities. That the people in
the small towns and country are
equally depressed Is not to be doubt
ed.
The Liberty Loan bond buyers Of
the preceding loans have their share
in the success Of the entente allies
They furnished the shows Of war not
only to fight the U-boats and to build
ships, not only to raise, equip, and
send over our soldiers, not only to
supply them and our allies with food
and munitions, but more than $4,000
100000 Of their money has been
loaned to our allies so that they may
prosecute tho war with vigor and
strength.
We here at homo have an oppor
tunity to send the 'Germans some
moro bad news. The Germans have
great respect for money; they know
its vital value in waging war. They
know, too that the support the Amer
lean people give a Government loan
measures largely the support they
give their Government, the moral as
we'll as the financial support they
give their armies in the field.
tremendous subscription to tho
Fourth Liberty Loan will be as dis
tressing to the German people as q
defeat for them on the battle field,
and 1t will mean as much. It spells
their defeat; 1t breaks their morale;
1t means power to their enemies.
A subscription to the loan Is a con.
tribution to German defeat and Amor
lean victory.

WAR FOR LIBERTY.

In his address he said tho Negro
in the present war for liberty and
worldwide democracy was proving
to be noble and inspiring figure.
The recent exhibition Of independent
valor on the part Of Negroes in
France served to bring anew to tho
people of this country and the world
at large the worth Of tho Negro as
factor in the productive and pro.
tective forces Of tho republic.
TWO divisions Of Negro troops are
now in France with eight combat
regiments to DO trained in various
environments in the country. He
called attention to the authorization
by the War Department Of the col.
ored Red Cross Nurses and spoke Of
the opportunities that are being
provided for the technical training
OF colored mon in many institutions
Of learning.

plant TO another.
1t is possible that the Hughes re
port may be silent on the last sub

men are associated in one way or an
other with the aircraft product ion
program proves nothing, but it has
attracted the immediate attention OF

source OF misgivings about achieve

none Of the investigators thus far

the leads and trace them to their
source. Mr.. Hughes has had an ex

matter and his known skill in follow

the basis for the prediction in Wash
