On advice of friends they left New

Douglass, hoping that it might help
him conceal his identity
able day he threw the shackles OF
slavery from his wrists forever.
He went to New York and "the girl
he left behind" came in few days and
they were married.
He felt the sting of race prejudice
while in New Bedford, put still he
couldn't complain. He was at least
free. He met many cultured people
here-especially those interested in the
cspse of the abolition of slavery.

in time he was assigned work as
speaker on various programs. Hav-
ing fine speaking voice and knowing
his subject so thoroughly, he was one
of the most effective orators. More
than once he had to flee to Canada
and to England to escape the wrath OF
those whom he offended when ne
thundered against slavery.
After the emancipation he held a
number of important positions IN

him, but he never regained the place

ST. JAMES A. M E. CHURCH
Henderson Reddick, Pastor
By L. c. Copes

Sunday last members of the Sab
bath School gave program that came
in the way of surprise to those in
charge 1t was indeed pleasure to
note the progress that these little folks
have made, to say nothing OF the in
terest shown in the study of Jesus and
his ministry. Each Sunday in our
Sabbath School those in charge are
moulding together what will newt
ably become bigger and better St.
James in the tomorrow. Please, send
your children in order that they be
given a part in the moulding of a
better tomorrow.
Our Mortgage Fund report was very
good with Rev. Reddick again leading
the way Perhaps next Sunday we'll
be able to lead the way by putting
forth just a bit more effort.
While discussing finances, lets not
forget about our pledges that will
make possible new roof. Mrs. Phelps,
who is in charge of the plans, has done
a marvellous bit of work. Let's all CO.
operate with her.
At St. James it's not all matter of
finances and funds, for each Sunday
Rev. Reddick delivers splendid and
inspiring message that if taken to heart
will enable us all to be little more
loving and kind; thereby contributing
our part in making this world better

Admiral Leahy.
By the Associated Press.

Admiral William D. Leahy said to-
day the United States feet, after the
present building program is completed,
should be adequate to protect the
country against any foreign naval
force now contemplated
Manned by courageous, skilled and
loy1l personnel it should be the great
est insurance Of peace our country
can have" added Admiral Leahy,
chief Of naval operations.
He wrote in the 18th anniversary
issue Of the Army and Navy Journal
that the building program will give
the United States for the first time
"a homogeneous fleet, we'll balanced
and equipped with modern weapons
and machinery"

Program for Army.
An indication that the Army as
well as the Navy would have an am
bilious program ready for the next
Congress has come from Secretary of
War Woodring.
Writing in the same number of the
Army and Navy Journal, Mr.. Wood
ring said much remains to be done
before we can consider our Army
thoroughly modernized," and added
Our National Guard should have
on its rolls at least 100000 men. (The
present strength is l95,O00) We
should reach and maintain an aircraft
strength of 1920 modern serviceable
military planes within the next two
years. (Aircraft strength is now 1925
'efhcient' planes, not counting obso-
lete ones. and 1922 new planes are
on order)
additional motor vehicles should
be procured to provide modern trans
portation for the greater part of our
mobile troops. Our procurement of
anti-aircraft artillery should be great
ly accelerated.
"Seacoast defenses should be mod
ernized and augmented. Our housing
program, now fortunately 80 we'll ad-
vanced, should be continued until ade-
quate provision has been made for
the comfortable shelter Of all our
troops"

HANKOW, May 20, P-Chin- csc crews flying two big Ameri- can made Martin bomber planes, were given a triumphal welcome when they returned from what Chinese army aviation headquar- ters described as a flight over western Japan, in which leaflets were dropped instead of bombs.

It is understood they visited principally the district containing Nagasaki, four hun dred and seventy miles from Shanghai and Saisebo, the great naval base 40 miles to the north, from which many of Japan's transports and warships put out for the Chinese coast.

Seattle Dispute Ends, Fishermen
 Sail Few Days

SEATTLE, May 20, (P)-The long standing salmon cannery workers dispute in Seattle has been settled; while in San Fran cisco hopes of a similar settle ment of the controversy received a vicious jolt by the Unions re- jection.
 One of the Packers offer in Se- attle with CIO Cannery Workers agreed last night with the Can ned Salmon Industry to go ahead with Alaska operations.
 Workers for Seattle owned fish ing plants in the Bristol Bay area accepted the seven per cent re- duction in wages; the union won the overtime wage point.
 About one thousand Seattle workers planned to sail in three or four days for Alaska. ...
 In San Francisco complications arose when one Packer, a Red salmon company, acted indepen- dently of the Packers Association in making an offer to the GIG Cannery Workers Union; how ever, the workers refused to coQn- promise on the seven per cent wage cut.

that why people often get the
