duty toward Allen University, the
olina.
This. school is managed by a
board of ,colored trustees, numbering
one hundred. 1t was brought out In
the conference that during the last
three years or during the administra
ton of Bishop w. d. Chapple, a
graduate of the school and former
president who took charge the work
in South Carolina June 1916, over
seventy thousand dollars had been
raised for the school by the min:s-
ters and members of thea. p. M.
Church in S. G.. for carrying on the
work at Allen University.
On Friday night strong appeal
was made to the congregation for a
collection for the school.
In the mean time it was stated
that two of the twenty three teach
ers teaching at Allen University were
from Abbeville, and that out of the,
nine hundred students in school
there about fifty of them were from
Abbevine county. The congregation
became enthusiastic and In a few
minutes put nearly $50 on the table
for Allen. The total amount raised
for the school in the conference here
last week was $500.
There are twenty districts in the,
State all holding their annual ses-,,
sions this month. They will average
six hundred dollars to the district.
This amount will be duplicated in
September.

Universal Training Needed
Nation Should Not Depend
Upon Ex.Service Men

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir-Some Of your correspondents
suggest that we do not need universal
military training for at least ten years,
because we have several million ex-
service men available for immediate
defense. They argue, therefore, that
the present execution of the plan
would entail q superfluous and wasteful
expenditure.
The shortsizhted. nature of such a
view becomes evident upon scrutiny.
Any system Of training would require
several years headway before it could
be made an affective reality: it could
not, as some seem to imagine, Instantly
become q reliable safeguard at its in
ception. While We are indeed fortu-
nate at present in having in our midst
50 many men experienced in war. we
should begin promptly to prepare for
the time whom those men will no longer
be serviceable. The temptation to
postpone an enterprise Of this kind. es-
pectally when some expense is involved,
Will grow with each succeeding year.
And II we are lucky enough to be IA
vorod With peace during the next dec
ade, . false sense Of security will be-
come established In tho minds Of tho
coming generation.
When We purpose to create an insti-
tuition that may forever be essential
to our safety and welfare q policy Of
proserastination with regard to begin
ming is little short Of criminal.

Independent Vote
TO Decide Fight
To the Editor Of Thu Trihnn.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Tho coming Presidential
election will be decided by the inde-
pendent voters.
The people have had enough Of
political promises made to catch
votes without thought Of fulfill
ment; and they have had far more
than enough Of delusive speeches
made up Of fine phrases and "pur-
pie periods" intended to becloud the
issues with which they assumed to
deal.
We, the voters, will demand
plafnly-stated, clear-cut and definite
statements Of what the Republican
party intends to do when it comes
into control Of the government. We
shall expect the nomination by the
national convention Of men Of proved
executive ability for the positions
Of President and vice-President.
On the great issues before the
country-foreign relations, restric-
tion of immigration, military and
naval preparedness, prohibition and
other unconstitutional sumptuary
legislation, the Mexican question.
etc.-on all these and other i'm
portant points we must know def
nitely where the Republican party
stands. AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
