BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTERS.
j
BY Albion l. Holsey.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-The prize
of Five ($5.0O) Dollars for the best
letter submitted in the recent con-
test, conducted in conjunction with
this series of weekly articles, has
been awarded to Mr.. Daniel w.
Chase, 1909 S. Street, N. W., Wash
ington, ID. c. Mr.. Chase's letter was
published in Booster Number Five
We received some very valuable
and interesting material on Negro
business enterprises which will go
into the collection of data on this
subject, which is kept in the Office
of the National Negro Business
League. While the specific request
was for actual experiences with Ne
gro merchants, many of the writer's
took the opportunity to advance some
excellent discussions OF business
methods in general among our peo-
pie. These discussions for the most
part showed how much thought is
being given to the question of patro-
nizing race enterprises. Letters sub
mitted by other contestants will be
published from time to time.
Another gratifying aspect of the
contest was the small number OF
critical letters received. The ma
jority of them were written in praise
of some local Negro merchant and
described, as did Mr.. Chase, the out
standing character of the store which
appealed to the writer's.
We regret that the prize could
not be sent to each contestant but
all, | am sure, will congratulate MI.
Chase upon his success. We are
grateful to all who sent the letters;
and to the editors of the papers who
have published the Boosters and have
thus added interest to the contest
Each letter submitted was contri-
button to the work of the League
and concrete indication of racial
progress.
Don't forget that the next meeting
of the Business League will be held
at Atlantic City, New Jersey, August

THE NASHVILLE DISTRICT WAR
FUND CAMPAIGN HAS SENT
THE FOLLOWING LETTER,
DATED MAY 30. 1918.
Readers of the Red Cross Publicity

Readers of the Red Cross Publicity
in the Nashville Globe.
AS War Fund Chairman OF the
Second Red Cross Campaign, l want
to commend the patriotic spirit OF
the colored people of Nashville and
Davidson County.
Reports from the various Team
Workers in the city, industrial,
neighborhood and County divisions
state that they were heartily receiv-
ed by the colored people who were
very eager to subscribe to the Red
Cross.
At one industrial plant the colored
men understood that they were being
asked for one days pay each week
and they were all willing to even do
that, which of course they were not
allowed to do.
At the City Hall the colored porter
because he happened to work under
two different Commissioners insisted
on signing up for days pay in each
department.
Many colored men came to head
quarters and put in their subscrip-
lions saying they had been over
looked by the Committee and wanted
to do their share.
The colored lawyers who are mem
bers of the War Service League did
their share of work in soliciting sub
scriptions and making talks in the
Industrial Plants.
/ mention these few cases merely
to show the general and generous re-
spouse of our colored people because
they appreciate American citizen
ship and want to share their burden
of the war work. Learning that the
Local Red Cross Chapter, which acts
in matters of protection of enlisted
mems dependents through the de-
partment of Civilian Relief, and acts
in all matters of relief to sailors
and soldiers themselves, has arranged
with the Globe to publish Red Cross
news each week, edited by the Chap
ter Vice Chairman of Publicity, Mrs.
H. H. Carson. | use this method on
behalf of the entire campaign COM
mittee of thanking it's subscribers
and all colored people Of Nashville
and Davidson County.
Yours truly,

The following report is authorized
by the War Department:
Recent reports from Commanding
Generals of certain Army Divisions
indicate that one of the fruitful
causes Of soldiers absenting them
selves without leave is the discour-
aging letter from home. Such let
ters frequently give alarming and
exaggerated ideas of conditions sur
rounding the soldiers family, that
some member is desperately ILL., that
all are starving, or that they are be-
ing in some way harrasseH. In such
instances letters have so preyed upon
the minds of soldiers that they have
absented themselves without leave
to go home, only to find that condi-
tions had been grossly exaggerated.
Meanwhile, this absent without
leave" is a serious military offense.
The soldier finds himself facing the
penalty therefor, or of getting deeper
into trouble by DESERVING" Some
times through fear or through pride,
a man has been led to desert after
such absence without leave.
Every soldier wants to receive let
ters from home. They should be fire.
quent, cheerful, hopeful and ap-
preciative of the sacrifice that he is
making for his country. They should
be full of family incidents and cheer
full gossip. They should protect him
from alarm and the small annoyances
of every day life. They should en-
courage him by giving full confidence
that his family and friends stand be-
hind him in the great enterprise he
has undertaken.
The value of such letters to SOL
diers is beyond estimate. The harm
that discouraging letters do him is
clearly indicated by reports at the
Adjutant Generals Office

1t is customary to depreciate con.

ism to subscribe, if the subscription
involves what it ought to involve, a
measure of personal sacrifce-a sac.
rifice Of the immediate utility of the
cash, sacrifice of comforts and ac-
customed Injuries. But it is not ac.
curate in the final sense to consider
that which is put in the Red Cross
Golfers as a donation. If it is that, it
is a donation to ourselves.
The Red Cross in time of war is a
national military institution, It's hu-
manitarian work las sentimental
value that leads big-hearted people to
assist the enterprise when our own
country is not involved. But the
vital military value of the Red Cross
is no less obvious. The enemy rec
Ognizes it by his policy of bombing
hospitals and ambulances. Our army
without the Red Cross or some SINH
lar agency would be in a sorry fix
If there were no Red Cross, ninety
nine one-hundredths of its work
would have to be done as a purely
military duty 1t is necessary to
maintain the morals of the army
that the finest and promptest medi-
cal and surgical and hospital care
be provided More than that these
things are necessary to maintain the
army's number, for it is through the
functioning of the Red Cross that by
far the greatest number of our wound
ed are speedily recovered and sent
to the front again. To weaken the
Red Cross is directly TO weaken the
army. The army exists for us, the
Red Cross exists for us through the
army. Money contributed to the Red
Cross is money contributed to the
army, to the winning of the war, to
the nations welfare, to our own fu.
rure. 1t is money not given away;
it is money paid for services rem
dered and to be rendered 1t is also
an inyestment-an investment in de
mocracy.
For reasons which we all approve,
the voluntary method of financing the
Red Cross is persevered in rather
than the taxation method That
should not be permitted to obscure
the nature of the contribution. The
pleasant delusiOn that we are giving
something enthusiastically to humanity
is allowed us by the method of rails
ing funds. Nevertheless il is tax
levied for our own purposes and col
lected by moral instead of legal
forces. The man or woman who re-
fuses to pay it merely serves notice
that he recognizes no moral forces.

riding about the country in the days
Of the horse and buggy, the road
sides who native turf had not been
disturbed by cultivation were rich
with wild flowers, trees by the way
with varied foliage were mussed with
songs of birds, and adjacent fields
charmed the eye. But it is no longer
thus; for while one feels the thrill
of being hurled through space in an
automobile, the freshness of fragrant
air is unperceived; nature colorings
