Especial to The Broad AK
The Anti-Submarine Flotilla, which
the Navy Department assembled for
visit to the Mississippi and its trib-
utaries, is now on the river. 1t in
cludes the U. S. N. Submarine Ks,
the destroyer Isabel, the Submarine
Chasers and the Flying Boats; all of
which with a majority of their officers
have seen active service in the War
Zone. They completely illustrate the
types of ships, guns and equipment
which were used in fighting the "U'-
boats. The fiotilla was sent to the
Mississippi to give the people of this
section every opportunity of seeing
these ships, and making a close in
spection of them.
Preceded by several days start by
one of the Chasers, the Aotila will
call at the nearest landing. The itin-
erary is now being completed and
every town to be visited viii be mott
fed in ample time of the coming of
the Navy Fleet. A Scout Chaser will
leave St Louis in advance of the
fiottila to call at all towns to COM
plete arrangements.
It is also planned to have ships
of the flotilla call at the principal
ports on the Ohio above Cairo, the
Mississippi above st. Louis and the
Illinois River. The exact dates and
itinerary will be announced.
The fiottila carries a Navy band, a
glee club of Blue Jackets and a base
ball team. A display will be made

ST. PAUL DISTRICT CONFER
ENcE ENDORSES DR.. sNELsoN
FOR GENERAL CONFERENCE
DELEGATE AND PRAISES HIS
CONSTRUCTIVE ACHIEVE
MENTS.

The st. Paul District Conference,
Rev. James Higgins, P. E., in its ses-
sion at Milwaukee, Wis, voted an
enthusiastic endorsement of the Rev.
FLOYD GRANT SNELSON, DID,,
P.H.D., F.R.G.S., the splendid pastor
of ST. MARY'S A. NJ. E. CHURCH,
Chicago, as a delegate to the next
general conference of 1920, to be
held at st. Louis.
The following were some of the
reasons given in their speeches for
their support of Doctor Snelson:
1st. His exceptional ability as a
scholar and pulpit orator, which has
reflected great credit to the Chicago
Conference.
2nd. DR.. Snelsons' masterly achieve
ments in building up the member
ship and strength of St. Mary's in the
Conference is the admiration of all,
so that st. Mary's now ranks next to
Bethel and Quinn Chapel, and is also
the Banner Church of them all in
the Conference Branch Missionary
Societies"
3rd. In the Erection of "NEW
ST. MARY's CATHEDRAL" this
Conference year Doctor Snelson has
accomplished a permanent construct
i've work to the honor of the A. NJ.
E. Church and the Chicago Confer
ence, that has not been equalled by
any other, and NEW ST. MARY'S"
is indeed the pride of his brethren
and of the City of Chicago.
4th. DR.. Snelson is an ardent sup
porter of DR.. Carey for the Bishopric,
and as result of his large experience
and great circle of acquaintance
among the prominent men of the con-
nection will grandly represent the
wish and will of the Chicago Confer
ence by pushing the candidacy of DR..
Carey, the magnetic and preeminent-
ly successful presiding Elder of the
Chicago District.

BETTERMENT OF RACE RE-
LATIONS Is ASSURED
By VIM. Anthony Aery.

Hampton, Va.-"The Southern So
Geological Congress strongly con-
demns lynchings and mob-rule, which
are both un-American and subversive
of law and order. We officially call
upon the editors of our papers, the
ministers of all our churches, and the
teachers in all our schools and col
leges to proclaim against these prac-
tices, which constitute both disgrace
and menace at home and also dis
credit American democracy abroad.
We urge the immediate exercise of
all possible state and federal power
to put a speedy end to these outrages
throughout the country" Lynchings
and mob-rule were condemned in this
resolution, which was UNANIMOUSLY
adopted at one of the mass meetings
of the Eighth Congress, recently held
in Knoxville.
DR.. James Hardy billiard of Char
lottesville, Va, president of the
Jeanes and Slater Boards, presided
over the Race Relations Conference,
which attracted from distant parts
of the South and of the Nation sew
eral hundred white and colored lead
ers in social-serivce work. DR.. Dill
lard said:
Hopeful Outlook.
each year marks another step in
the progress of race relations in the
Southern states. Never in the his
tory of the world has a race made
such physical, mental, and moral i'm
provement as the Negro race made
during the past sixty years. This
does not mean, however, that there
should be any letting-up in the for
ward movement. There are still thou
sands upon thousands of uneducated
people and many who are still very
Door and in need of moral advance
ment.
''Never before in history, during
any period of sixty years, have two
races, thrown together so closely,
been known to reach such a rap
proaehmsnt for good as we find in
the South. It takes time to change
the habits of thought and feeling
among individuals. 1t takes a still
longer time for social groups to
change their habits. We must, there
fore, be vry patient one with the
other.
~Cive Negro q Chance
~I have been over the South time
and time again. Each year / have
seen marked Improvement in race re-
lations. It is better for rs all who stay
in the South to remain in fellowship
and cooperation. We must learn to
live together in love. eood-feeling and
cooperation. We must give the Negro
a chance t6 develop into the fun stat
ure Of manhood.
sThe eolored people, during the
war, were called upon to take their
part Of the Nations burden. They
did more than was expected Their
war work was amazing.

ing relations between the races. State

Negro Soldiers Make Good.
DR.. Thomas Jesse Jones, of the u.
S. Bureau of Education and Phelps
Stokes Foundation, who recently re-
turned from morale work in France,
spoke on 'The Negro Troops Over
SEAS" who have won the thanks of
General Pershing and his fellow-ofi-
GERS in the American and Allied Ar
mics. "The remarkable service of the
colored soldiers in the back areas,
those engaged in the Service of Sup
plies, and also the record of colored
soldiers and officers on the battle
front, throughout all of the past
war;" said DR.. Jones, SHOULD make
us proud of colored men as fellow
citizens. We have found that colored
officers can command their brothers
in battle as in peace. The attitude
of the colored soldiers should be ex-
pressed in the words of the song:
When the good Lord writes of a
hero's deeds, he draws no color
line"
Negroes in the Baekgroud."
DR.. W. w. Alexander of Atlanta,
who has been helping the Y. NJ. C. A.
War Work Council in the intensive
training of white and colored men
for handling reconstruction problems,
spoke on Making Men Fit for Citi-
zenship." DR.. Alexander declared
that "the Thoughtful colored leaders
simply are asking all the white peo-
pie of the Nation to give the colored
population of twelve millions a fair
chance to work out thir hves-a
chance to be given places that men
can occupy-an opportunity to be
understood on the common problems
that concern community life. New
faith, encouragement and ideals are
needed for a sympathetic understand
ing of Negroes in the background.
The self-restraint and self-sacrihce
of Negro leaders are worthy of high
praises"
Extension Of Democracy.
Rev. Alfred Lawless, Jr., Of New
Orleans, stated that 'far too many
white people are living on the tradi-
tions of the past and are not think
ing problems through for themselves.
The common sense and sanity of the
Negro have often saved a difficult sit
uation. The Negro asks, "Am / in
cluded in the idea Of democracy
The race question is faced by three
important groups One says, The
ease is hopeless; another, Let there
be revolution; and still another, Let
Us begin an evolutionary process and
secure high standards through good
team work The third group merits

mind, the heart, and the conscience
of men are at work as never before
on Negro problems. While many are
fearful, there never was a time, i
think, when there were so many white
people of the South ready and will
ing to substitute justice for injus-
tice, kindness for ill-will, patience for
impatience; ready to face the future
with eagerness and hope. We are
coming to realize that it is easier to
lead men than it is to drive them.
"The Southern Sociological Con-
gress is leading the South as a pilot
guides a ships course, through the
authority of wisdom and skill"
Lynehing a National Sin
DR.. Edwin Minis of Vanderbilt Uni
versity, in his "call of the New South
to Suppress Lynching," spoke out
boldly in the name of the best white
South. "Lynching is unjustifable
under all circumstances" he said.
'It is wrong in the sight of man and
God. Lynching is a blot on our Ma
tional escutcheon and is a menace
to the whole country. Lynching is an
economic peril to the South. 1t is
inexpedient, unwise, and a political
mistake. Above all, it is a community
and a Naional sin -.
"When one set of people sets up
a crime for which lynching is justi-
fieable, there is nothing to prevent
another group of people from setting
up another crime, which it considers
equally jutifable. A mob in action
knows no law. 1t knows no reason.
1t is governed only by its passion
at white heat. If the community
cannot stop lynching, then the state
can. If the state cannot stop lynch
ing, then the nation can-and will"
Racial Cooperation Possible.
DR.. W. A. Bell of Atlanta, Ga,
outlined "Some Reconstruction Plans
for Colored People," which expressed
the ideas of thoughtful colored lead
ers. "Right-thinking Americans" he
said, appreciate the loyalty and serv-
ice of the colored people throughout
the war. The best Southern white
people have determined that justice
must come to the Negro. The Negro,
on the other hand, must conserve
this feeling of brotherhood and must
capitalize this quickened sense of
human justice.
Better race cooperation can be
developed by conferences of carefully
selected groups of both races for the
study and discussion of community
conditions and constructive social
service programs. We must study
what improvements are needed and
then make them. Venereal diseases
should be fought through three-fold
campaign-education, recreation and
suppression. The causes of the ineffi-
cheney of Negroes in industry must
be removed; farm life must be i'm
proved; cooperative buying and sell
ing must be encouraged.
"More liberal publicity should be
given to creditable news concerning
the Negro. News concerning the
crimes of Negroes should be treated
as crime and reprehensible, but not
distinctly as Negro crime. Terms
which reflect discredit on the Negroes
should be eliminated from news
stories. Publicity agencies should be
organized for the promotion of a
right understanding between the
races.
Equal treatment before the law
should be secured for all citizens. |
Civil justice should include adequate |
protection of all life and property;
impartial law enforcement; proper
supervision of penal institutions;

TRANSPORTATION AND HEALTH
To increase the cost of transporta-

To increase the cost of transporta'
ton tends to retard a city's expan-
sion along the lines of community
| health and safety. Cheap car fares
with liberal transfers have been a
tremendous factor in Chicago's terri
torial growth and development.
Cheap and rapid transportation is
also a means of preventing the crowd
ing together Of people in limited
areas with the attending damage to
both health and morals that always
are in evidence in badly congested
districts.
The question of family health has
impelled thousands of people in Chi
cago to seek the outlying districts
where air and sunshine can be had
in abundance and where there is ell
bow room and a chance for chill
dren to grow and develop into healthy
and vigorous men and women. And
cheap and rapid transportation has
made this possible. The workmen of
today can travel a round trip dis
tance of twenty miles between his
home and his work place and do it
in less time than he could have trav-
eled one-half the distance twenty
years or more ago.
A well known health worker in this
city said some years ago that i'm
proved transportation facilities had
taken thousands of people out of the
congested district in a single ward
and into neighborhoods where, with
no increase in rentals, the living sur
roundings from a health standpoint
were immeasureably superior to those
amid which they had formerly lived.
And while there can be no accurate
estimate made a ST. the number of
lives saved each year on account of
whole sale hegira of people from
bad to good surroundings, there can
be no doubt that such moves do exert
direct and vital influence over both
the sickenss and the death rates of
the city. Especially, too, are fresh
air, sunshine and open air play
grounds important factors in promot-
ing the healthy, normal development
of growing children.
A long while ago Lord Bacon said:
There are three things that make
nation great and powerful, a fertile
soil, busy workshops and easy trans
portation of men and goods from
place to place"
And many years later Lord Mac
auley, the noted English historian,
put it this way: "Of all human in
ventions, the alphabet alone except
ed, those inventions which have served
to abridge distance have done the
most for human civilization"
Of course, under Macauley's inter
probation may be classed the tele-
phone and the telegraph as agents
which practically eliminate distance.
But none the less does cheap and
rapid transportation figure as fac
tors in the making of higher stand
ards of living as directly related to
the peoples health and to their moral
and social life.
