U. S. ARMY.
By William Nauns Kicks.
Los Angeles California.
Could portray in words of grace,
The service you have done your
race;
Gould but half such service do;
Then I might pen song to you.
If could cheer my spirit when,
Like you, was despised of men;
If through all changes could hold
A faith like yours, so clear, so bold.
If under pressure I could see
Like you the path to Liberty;
If could hold my trust secure,
And laugh and suffer and endure;
The petty scorn, the daily slight,
And keep my feet in paths of right;
Could calmly hold my hard won place;
And bring glory to my race
"A glory whose unclouded sheen
Before the world stands big and
clean;
Then l could feel my song was true,
If should pen song to you.
Compliments Of Frank P. Henry,
Oakland, Cal.

IA MESSAGE"

AS the old year has passed away,
I and another year enters, this vision
above still presses upon me. The
vision cut above this message shall
explain it as God sent it to me. The
picture drew to illustrate why Gods
power compelled me to press on. The
man on this hill represents the u. S.
This vision God gave to me two
months before the U. S. went into this
war. sent this vision to colored
paper and $500, The Richmond Plan
ct, Richmond, Va. Whether it was
printed or received with love or not
that l never knew, as I have not
received up to this date one line of
writing from Mr.. John Mitchell, edi-
tor of The Planet.
When was in Honolulu, while my
husband was in Des Moines in train
ing camp, met Rev. H. A. Perry at
the home Of Sister Ellen Douglas,
1437 Buchanan street, and asked him
the whereabouts of the colored paper.
He gave me the address on piece of
paper. met Mrs. Emerald Mash, the
stenographer Of the Bystander, and
she gave me church rates on the mes

Bystander to be home of the righte-

directed by Committee on Foreign
Language and Foreign Press. This
committee is devoting its attention at
the present time toward obtaining the
elimination OF the teaching of German
In the public schools Of the country
and the discontinuance OF newspapers,
printed in German. The thought back
Of this effort OF the Security League,
however, as set forth by Col. Charles
e. Lydecker, president OF the League,
in recent interview goes far beyond
enemy alien considerations.
''It is the duty Of every citizen to-
know the English tongue" says Colo
mel Lydecker. 'To refuse to learn it Is
TO fling defiance at the nation. To neg
lect to learn it is voluntarily to remain
unfit for the duties Of American citi-
zenship. We are justified in expecting
open and loyal conduct, and we claim
the right to insist upon this. Ameri-

A LOYAL CONGRESSMAN.

President Wilson seems to have
rather definitely settled a much moot
ed question by his opposition to the
candidacy for reelection Of Congress
man Slayden OF Texas, which resulted
In that gentleman withdrawing from
the race. Mr.. Slayden voted for both
the CONSUMPTION Bill and the Declare
ton Of War, but had q consistent anti
preparedness record and voted against,
the Kahn Amendment substituting the
selective draft Tor the volunteer sys-
tenn In the Conscription Bill.
There has been much discussion as
to whether q COngressman's loyalty or
war record should be Judged accord
ing to the way he voted on the Dec
laration OF War and has voted since,
or whether his opposition to ante-war
measures looking to the military eff
cheney OF the country should be count
ed against him President Wilson APP

Southern farmers have as much at
stake in this war as any other Amari-
cans-lt is their war.
We are fighting for the freedom
Of the seas"-the farmers right 70 sell
cotton, corn, wheat, rice, etc, abroad.
The determination of the United
States to send supplies and food to the
Allies sent tie price of cotton to 80
cents and above, and put the Price of
food crop UP to the highest figure in
fifty years.
If the Allies win this war American
farmers always can find q ready mar
ket in Europe FOR their products. Thou
sands of ships are being built to send
the crops abroad after the war. Bat
We must win to dc it. Germany plans
to invade this country jt5t as it over
ran Belgium Evidence in the hands
OF government officials proves this
statement. southern farmers are en-
joying the benefit Of Their crops now,
but If Germ ny invades this country
their wives and daughters will be
forced 20 raise crops for Germany
just as Belgian and French women
and children are forced in the fields
to feed the German army. Their land
will be devastated Just as Belgian
farms have been-their land then will
be used % feed Germany and their
crops will bring them nothing.
Fame Depended Upon
The government always has depend
ed upon the Southern farmer TO 90
his duty whether to raise more food,
fight or nance. They have been ex-
emptei .con fighting thus far to en-
able thra4 to raise more food, and
they r., received the highest prices
for the .ro1ucts. Now the govern.
mcnt wuats the farmer to help finance
r!,e war. 1t is just as much his duty
to help 1, arce the wax as it is to raise
food.
The II I'd Liberty Loan will soon be
f,cated. It is the farmers duty to IN
vest ~ much money as they can in
these United States government
