In some places there are whole
rows of wrecked cottages. It seems
appropriate that German bombs
should find such targets-the little
dwellings are so fragile and the
wrath OF bomb so powerful. The
mighty Germans smashed the little
Belgians Yet the bombs are not
nearly so effective against massive

LONDON, May 10. (By mail.)-lt
takes a long time for building to
heal from war wounds in these days
of labor shortage but, considering the
number of bombs that have been
dropped on London, there are few
outward signs that the metropolis has
been under 100 bombardments from
the air.
once a Zeppelin dropped huge
weight of high explosive smack in
the middle of place made famous
by the song '"Tipperary." 1t was one
OF the heaviest blasts London ever
experienced, and two miles away It
sounded Like the roar OF a great pile
| of lumber falling down. For block
the faces of buildings were gashed
by chunks of steel, and there wasn't
| whole pane of glass for several
hundred yards.
Two Englishmen who were In New
York at the time heard about this
bomb from some Americans just over
! from London. Three months later
they returned here and took the first
opportunity to go down and look
over the ruin.
Their information seemed to be
wrong, however, for the same old
/ dry goods store and the same old
cigar store and the trunk store and
the tea shop which were reported to
be badly smashed looked just the
same as they had looked year ago.
The customers were filing in and out
and the street crowds were window
shopping" as Of old. Even the signs
on the buildings seemed to be the
same.
There was slightly different look
about the corner but it was hard to
put your finger on the difference and
say there it is" If you studied 1t
awhile you could see that all the
stores had a new appearance, and
that the old signs had lost that ding
mess.
Deep wounds in the masonry had
been filled as dentist fills a tooth
and shapes the filling to represent
the contours Of the original Where
the damage had been more serious
the architectural surgeons rebuilt the
damaged portions in exact reproduc-
ton of the originals The old signs
were copied.
Today that corner looks just as 1t
did a year ago before the bomb drop

usual freshness in the architectural
complexion.

just expediency that causes the

Black Man is Loyal.

Black Man IS loyal.
TT is no wonder then that the black
man has always been loyal to his coun
| try and his flag There burns within
his breast that fire Of patriotism that
has not been quenched by lynchlaw,
ostracism and discrimination. Above
all these cruel and savage indictments,
! the black man holds his country first.
He is always ready to defend his
country against an alien enemy and
today he is fighting to establish a
worldwide principle that is denied
him by his own country. Greater love
hath no man than this that he lay
down his life for his country.
Where, in all this great republic OF
ours, is there greater patriotism than
this? If there ever was a people who
followed in the footsteps of Washing
ton and Lincoln, it is the black race.
Those two great men are the climax
of the great Saxon race and their
deeds are sung from generation to
generation to the end that liberty
shall not perish from the face Of the
earth.
Fires Of Test.
"The black man is now passing
through the testing fire. Posterity
must answer for his conduct in these
days of the republics sore distress.
The pages of history must show a
clean record of patriotism. His coun-
try's call is paramount to all previous
conditions of servitude or present day
discouragements. Our country is
right and he who knows his country is
right is doubly armed"
This is the poem as recited by Miss
Wilson:
"a Prophecy to ethiopia"
Oh! Mother Ethiopia on thee we call
To lead they fair sons and daughters
Out OF prejudice's dark hall.
Come thou fore-runner of man
Make thy races influence
Impressive upon every land.
I see thee come
In robes of intellect and power
Elevating earth's dark children
To heavenly bower.
The sun of prosperity on thy products
shine
Making them heroes
Worthy OF mankind.
Today in every walk of life
Ethiopia makes fair stride
Equal to any race placed near her side.
The worlds great struggle never shan
be done
Until thy sword smites the Hun.
When civilization itself
Shall have been saved
Thy worried form shall no more fill
the mobber's grave.
1 see thy representatives
In the courts of man,
for equality
On every hand.
Cease worrying for the day must
pass
Until thou shalt have reached thy goal
at last.

The Greatest Issue.

Mr.. Draine in his address, said:
The great issue that stands out
boldly in the minds OF the people or
this republic is that of world wide
democracy. No people or nation is
more concerned about this great prin-
|ciple of freedom than the citizens OF
the United States OF America. From
the earliest attempts at a republican
form of government life and blood
have flowed freely. The savage and
corrupt practices Of the ancient king
dons and empires are costly mile
posts to true and greater citizen
ship.
The crumblIng parthenon and the
wind-swept coligeum. broken empires
and shattered idols are the prices paid
for religious freedom and bodily
emancipation

The Hobiest Citizenship.

The noblest citizenship is that
which lays down its life for it's flag
and its country, the supreme test OF
free government is the protection II
gives to that citizensfip without re-
gard to race OF color. The colored
people of this great republic hold a
clear title TO their citizenship. Not
only have they fought their country's
battles, upheld the nations honor
with jealous care and made this couD-
try safe for democracy, but they bear
the mark of native born citizens AZ

FLASH LIGHTS IN UNISON
Firefies Seem to Have an Understand
ing as to When to Begin
an illumination.

Various observers testify to the fact
that myriads of glow worms very oc-
casionally indulge in synchronous flash
ing with very beautiful effect. 1t is
thought by some that this phenom-
enOn is accidental, although in this
light some cases would seem incred-
ible.
John V. Purcell of Washington,
D. c., records that in the town of Co
tabatO, island of Mindanao, p l., a few
years ago there were two trees about
the size of apple trees and perhaps a
hundred yards apart, and every eve
ming these were filled with firef1ies
which flashed in unison, first one tree
lighting up and then the other. There
must have been several thousand in
sects in each tree, yet the synchronism
was so perfect that rarely or never
did a single FREELY flash at the wrong
time.
''TO the best of my recollection the
illumination period lasted about two
or three seconds and the dark periods
perhaps twice that long. 1 can posi-
lively vouch for the accuracy of the
foregoing. for it seemed so strange and
produced so beautiful an effect that
thought it one of the most remarkable
things in the Philippines, and it made
Il deep impression on me-"
