HOSPITAL MOVING NICELY.

There is being more activity shown
in the payment of subscriptions to the
Wheatley-Provident Hospital than has
been exhibited for several weeks and
the members of the Board of Direc-
tors are very enthusiastic over the
dedication and opening, which has
been set for Sunday, September 20.
Quite few have made payments on
their pledges during the week. Miss
Mayme Loggins, one of Kansas City's
best registered nurses, who is travel
ing with prominent white family in
New York and who subscribed five
dollars, sent six dollars this week.
saying that she felt like adding dol
lar more to her subscription in view
of the wonderful success we are hav-
ing. Miss Winetta Donohue, who was
not subscriber but who said she
had been reading in The Sun of the
wonderful work our people were doing,
called for one of our collectors to
come and see her and gave three dol
lars as a free-will offering to help on
in the work. Among those who paid
in full this week were:
5000
DR.. E. A. Walker.
DR.. w. Hubert Bruce.
5000
Miss Mamie Loggins.
$500
Prof. o. NJ. Shackleford, Mr.. w. NJ.
Taylor.
$500
Miss Winetta Donohue.
On the day of dedication the COM
mittee hopes to raise by public collec-
tion and payment of pledges $1,000.00.
Don't forget the date. Every Church
and every Organization in the City
will ge invited to be present and take
part in the proceedings.
Another commendaDle act which we
feel worth the mentioning was a let
ter containing ten dollars from MMiss
Madeline Taylor, 1011 Independence
avenue, who stated that although she
had not made a pledge, she felt that
the cause was a deserving one and
the efforts of the committee should
be encouraged. Would there were
more loyal members of the race like
Miss Taylor.

issue and see what the loyal members
of the race and our white friends have
done for the hospital.

wide effort to round up men who fail

have been developed for gathering in
formation from hundreds of sources
about men within the new draft ages,
who failed to respond. Many volun.

enlisted in the new campaign against
draft dodgers, and it virtually will be

| ing three hundred or more, receiving

Howard Soldiers Return Compliment
to Mrs. Baker.
AS return compliment to Mrs.
Baker for her favor, these student
soldiers sang for her a number of
plantation melodies and folk-songs, all
reminiscent of their homes in Dixie
land; and, as a further compliment,
some of these songs were led in fin
ished style by DR.. Robert Russa Mo-
ton, principal of Tuskegee Institute,
Alabama, successor to the late Booker
! T. Washington. DR.. Motion had come
on from New York City to deliver an
address to the soldiers at Howard
| University and interested citizens OF
Washington.
| Notable among the songs led by
DR.. Motion and sung with fervor by
the monster chorus was "a Hymn OF
Freedom" by Natalie Curtis Burlin,
a fine example of the "spirituals" that
are now being introduced with mark
ed success in teh army camps through
out the country.
DR.. Thomas Jesse Jones in Charge of
Exercises.
The meeting at Howard University
was presided over by DR.. Thomas
Jesse Jones of the United States Bu-
reau of Education, who spoke at length
of the commendable services OF the
and in peace, and on the platform were
score or more of men and women
prominently identified with various
phases of helpful war work.
DR.. Motions address was a forceful
and eloquent appeal to the young col
ored men of America to do their full
duty toward upholding the honor of
the flag and to utilize every resource
at their command to bring into its
fullness that pure democracy which
the entire civilized world is striving
to establish and in which all wish to
