The authorized statement comes from Washington
that France is ready to spend $1000000 in the United
States for goods of all kinds manufactured and in the

estimate that less than that will suffice to rebuild the
devastated sections of their country repensh their de-
peed stocks of all sorts and enable their industries to
sumo normal production.
That is about twice the amount of our total export
trade in these abnormal years. The needs of France
alone would suffice to keep all the factories and work

THE BLOT UPON a FAIR PAGE
HOME OF SORROW.

In the home Of Mrs. e. N. Dickerson
1913 West Leigh street, Mrs. Margarcte
Boone, her daughter, fell asleep in
Jesus, July 8, 1913, at 4:10 a. NJ. She
was patient sufferer and waited
patiently on tho Lord During her
four months of illness she was very
happy and content. The thing that
pleased us most was that she was Il
faithful Christian and had hope and
trust in Jesus Christ.
She has left us and gone home 20
rest and left us the message to meet
her on the other side. After we had
done all we could, she leaned her head
Oh Jesus breast and went quietly to
Heaven. Her favorite hymn during
her illness was, what A Fellowship"
Before she died, she called us all
and prayed a family prayer which we
cannot forget. How to express her
hlistian character we know not but
all we can say,
Sleep on, Marguerite,
Sleep and take thy rest,
We loved thee we'll
! But Jesus loved you best.
She left faithful husband and a
loving mother and father, two sisters,
five brothers and two nicces and a
host Of relatives and friends to mourn
their loss.
The funeral was Thursday, July II
1918, at eleven o'clock at the EbeneZer
Baptist Church. Rev. w. II. Stokes
preached a touching sermon in most
graceful manner. He spoke words Of
comfort and consolation to the family
and friends. Mr.. W. I. Johnson had
charge Of the procession which was
the most beautiful scene that ever
was in the neighborhood. The fun
eral procession consisted OF all auto.
mobiles and tho flowers were hand
some. We can't say and do enough
to express the love and sympathy we
had for her. All we can say Is,
Sister thou are mild and lovely,
Gentle as the Summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening,
Sister Margarete sleep in ease.
We wish to thank the st. Lukes
and friends for their kindness shown
during the illness and death Of our
sister and mother.

THE SITUATION AMONG
COLORED BAPT|STS.
IN AMERICA

For about two decades from 1905
tic National Baptist Convention was
the pride of the Negro Baptists
Of the United States. Her sessions
were made UP Of messengers from
all parts of the Country, and it was
not only 4. pleasure but an inspiration
to make the annual pilgrimage. Dur
ing those years the National Baptist
Publishing Board was built up to
great proportions; the National Bapt
list Training School for Women and
Girls at Washington, ID. c., was Cstab
lishcd and under the leadership OF
Mrs. Layton and Miss Mamie IL.
Burroughs Il million BaptiSu women
were lined up for Christian service.
The Foreign Mission Board and 9th
or Boards have grown up during that
time and flourished. The power and
influence of this great organization
have been felt for good il Panama,
the West Indies, South America and
in darkest Africa. Her officers and
representatives have stood in Bapt
list and Missionary Councils III all
parts OF the civilized world and have
brought to her assembled millions Il
message that thrilled and chccrcd on
to larger accomplishments. Baptist
scholars wrote down tho deeds OF the
denomination in clear, indcliable and
imporiShablc words; young men and
women in our BaptiSt schools read Of
the deeds Of the Denomi,,ation and
felt Il thrill that was indcscribabie
Her various boards collected hundreds
of thousands of dollars and expended
il for the advancement Of the great
cause OF righteousness. Nothing
seemed too great for his magnificent
organization to accomplish.

people the testimony OF Con. Per
shing on the enyfablc record being
made by four colorcd regiments now
III France on the firing line. The
statement of tho commander of our

cncc the many false reports put in
circulation in this country as to the
treatment and the conduct of the col
orcd soldiers who are Il part of our
brave and invincible Army which Is
maintaining tho glorious traditions
OF the American Army and Navy.
Many OF these soldiers come from

proud OF the record they arc making
IN defending our rights and in doing
their best to make the world free and
America safe and secure for all time.
Here is Gen. pcrshings just tribute
to these men:
The stories probably invented by
German agents, that colored soldiers
i'll France arc always placed in most
dangerous positions and sacrificed to
save white soldiers; that when
wounded they are loft on the ground
to die without medical attention. etc,
absolutely false.

POWERS TELLS OF POLLOCK'S
VISIT TO HOTEL GqOOM.
The consensus Of opinion in the
courtroom was that unless broken or
clearly explained the evidence reluc-
family offered by Mr.. Powers was the
most damaging evidence introduced
by the Commonwealth. Mr.. Powers
testified that at some time during the
ycar-he could not remember the time
the date or the mOnth.-he had found
Captain Pollock in room at the
hotel with n woman, both scantily
attired and both under tho influence
of liquor.
lie also said that in order to make
sure before entering the room, he
looked at the hotel register and saw
the names Of two women who had
registered for the room. According
TO his testimony he told Captain Pol
lock that he would have to get the
woman out Of the hotel. With that,
no said that he went out, returned in
one-half an hour, and both were gone.
Mr.. Powers admitted that Captain
Pollock explained his presence to him
there by saying that he was on bust
ness. However, he said that he would
let him go only on the condition that
}ie held conference with the man.
ager Of the hotel, Mr. Disney, the fol-
lowing morning and give reasons or
explanation for his presence in the
hotel in such position.
Policeman W. T.. Clarke, of the Sec
ond District, was the first witness
called for tho Commonwealth. At this
time, in answer to query from Com
monwealth's Attorney George u. Wise
as to the scope and rules governing
the hearings, Mayor Ainslie said that
his court would proceed under tho
recognized rules Of courts of record
In regard to the admissibility Of evil
dence.

wounds, none; died OF disease, s.
severely wounded, none. The Three
hundred and seventy-sccond Infantry
Died Of wounds, none; died OF dis

These figures show conclusively that
Negro troops have not thus far occu-
pied positions rs dangerous as those
occupied by white troops, and that
their physical condition is excellent.
y tour Of inspection just complei-
ed among American Negro troops by
officers of the training section OF
these headquarters shw tho compare
lively high degree OF training and
efficiency among these troops. Their
training is Identical with that OF
other American troops serving with
the French Army, the effort being to
lead all American troops gradually to
heavy combat duty by prelimin-
airy service in trenches in quiet sec
tors.
Colorcd troops in trenches have
been particularly Fortunate, as one
regiment had been there Il month
before any losses were suffered. This
was almost unhcard of Oh the west

trymen some weeks ago in rcpelling

Ambitions for a record production of copper during 1917 failed as a re- suit of the widespread strikes in July and August, which affected practical ly all mining camps of the country. Notwithstanding this, the leading properties turned out shelter yield of approximately 2,146,857,677 pounds of copper, against 2,202,751,761 pounds in 1916.
 There were a number of newcomers in the producing ranks during the past year, the most prominent being the New Cornelia Copper company. This new property, which started about mid-year, contributed 2O,0O0,O0O pounds to the years copper output.
 The severest loss sustained by any of the properties closed down by strikes was that of the Anaeonda company. Its estimated output in 1917 was 253,OOO,OOO pounds, against
