CoIored Baptist Pastor Enters
58th Year With Church
Dr.. Walter H. Brooks
Remembers 1882 as
Red-Brick' Era

Alert and spry at 88, DR.. Walter
H. Brooks, pastor Of the Nineteenth
Street Baptist Church, enters his
fifty eighth year as head Of the old
est colored Baptist church In the
District. Located at Nineteenth and
I streets NV, the church celebrated

pied by a Baptist group since 1902,
in which year the First Baptist
Church of Washington was organ
lied by white residents Of the new
ly incorporated Capital.
The Rev. Mr.. Brooks, who ad-
mits living in a new day" says it
has been pleasant job. While the
first 43 years of the church were
marked by numerous changes IN
pastors, the last 81 have seen but
single man as its leader.
He is one person who does not
believe a trend away from religion
can be blamed exclusively on the
current unrest among nations"
Says the churchman, who spent
the first II years Of his life as a
slave on a Richmond (Va0 estate,
IT think the Spanish American
War and the last World War have
had a great deal to do with the
change of feeling about religion" ."
AS he sits in the sun coming into
his living room at 1886 Eighteenth
street NV. he cannot refrain from
looking into the past.
Receiving meager education
from a white Sunday school teacher
while a slave, DR.. Brooks entered
Lincoln University at the age Of Is
I Sometime after completing his
theological training he received q
doctors degree from Harvard Uni

General Malin Craig, retiring as Chief of Staff
little ahead of time announces that he will go to
California and practice keeping my mouth shut.
Some of our retired generals notably General Nose
ley have overlooked this point But man who has
done good job afford to keep his mouth shut.
Others will speak for him. They will say of Craig.
for example, that he more responsible than any
one alive for turning the American Army out of its
ancient rut and transforming it into modern, mech
anized war machine
General Craig succeeded the brilliant Douglas
Macarthur Chief of Staff in 1885 He was an en-
tirey different type Not clever but surefooted,
thorough and fortnight, he knew his objective from
the start and marched steadily in direction. He
understood under the terrible pressure of the
gigantic operations the Western Front, and his
purpose to produce an American Army fit to
wage that type of warfare Under him the army has
expanded from 118500 to body of 10000 regulars
and $1,000 officers 1t is being re-equipped with the
replacement of the old Springfield by the semi
automatic Garand rifle Anti-aircraft guns of our
own manufacture, efficient tanks and the de-
veopment of mechanical cavalry may be credited to
General Craig The army air force is about to triple
its strength. On July the half-billon expan-
sion program, which General Craigs intelligence
helped to mature, goes into full effect
1t was in the cavalry a yellow leg that he
began his as years ago. Since then he has seen
every phase of the service and by the
infantry and the top sergeant the backbone of
strength He leaves the army in good shape 1t is not
associates and the only life he has known Perhaps
it will not even be easy to keep his mouth shut But
for consolation he is taking with him in cage the
little talking and singing parrot he picked up Pana-
ma II years ago. So the general will not be enveoped
in complete silence.

The Washington Government through the Fed

This is flat and thoroughly discreditable viola

Nor can the India rubber commerce clause" be
stretched this time to govern matter of foreign COM
merce. The powers of the commission limited in

Presumably this edict of the commission restrict

in the courts But whether it would not, it is
sound in policy and unjust in principle Such regu

would impair cordial relations with foreign
countries. But in the long rum freedom of speech,

to us than any good will might lose in Italy or

sERvICE-IN THE FORESTS AND OUT

If any Federal agency has done itself proud to
make Alaska a better and more profitable place in
which to live it is the u S Forest Service To South
east Alaska this effort is especially noticeable for
almost all of us here live in a National Forest, the
largest incidentally, in the Nation. More than half
the people of Alaska live either in this Tongass forest
of the Southeast or the Chugach to the Westward So
the Forest Service is of great Importance to the Ter
ritory just as the Territory has always been prime
concern of the Forest Service.
For the past month Alaska has been receiving the
careful scrutiny of the Chief of the Service, F. A Sill
cox who left for the States this morning The trip
was OF such importance that the Assistant Chief r.
F. Hammatt also came along
Several weeks ago the Forest Service brought a
peat expert DR.. A. P. Stokes of the Department of
Agriculture to study Alaska's deposits of this mpor-
tsnt plant product which may become the basis of a
great industry in the Territory. DR.. Stokes is con-
tinung his work in the Westward, after survey o.
Southeast Alaska muskegs.
This week Ernest E. Walker, Chief Landscape
Architect for the Forest Service showed up in Alaska
to study recreatona possibilities with view to
their development for the benefit both residents
and tourists
Two other Forest Service men from Washington
& game management expert and another recreation
specialist will arrive shortly to further the work OF
the agency in Alaska.
Through the cooperation of the Bureau of Fish
cries. the Service is bringing trout expert who will
study barren lakes in Southeast Alaska and tell us
how have fish where there are none or toe
few now.
Forest Service men like Alaska so well that they
even come here for their vacations witness the
present visit to the Territory of Bob Marshall Chief
of Recreation for the Service, who went north re-
Gently to his Arctic Village" at Wiseman to clint
Mount Doonerak, which he believes to be the highest
mountain north of the Arctic Circle in North America
The result of all this work on Alaska's behalf is
appreciated by the Territory. Would that all Fedora
agencies were as solictous of our welfare

MONDAY, JULY 10. 1899

Adverse aspects are strong in the
horoscope for today, according to
astrology 1t is a time to avoid physi-
cal exertion.
Under this planetary government
the mind may be alert and should be
employed in planning future activi-
ties. This is not a time for imme-
date initiative. All new ventures
should be carefully side-stepped.
While there will be many tempta-
lions to speculate, all forms Of fin
ancial risk may be extraordinarily
unlucky. Mining stocks will bring
disappointment today.
Capital and labor will be inclined
to agree on disputed issues, but hos
tile influences may cause serious
breaches at times of urgent demand
for production in shops and fac
tories
Farmers should benefit through
good crops and increased demand.
Exports should increase in coming
weeks when large quantities of grain
will be required in foreign lands
Girls today should take stock of
their resources, whether they hap
pen to be social graces or profesr
sional attainments. The autumn
will offer opportunities for impor-
tant public service.
Summer schools this year will
have special significance in view
of future developments in internal
tional affairs Scientific training is
to be of great value to the nation.
Domestic arts will occupy wo-
mems attention TO an extraordinary
degree While aid for foreign wal
sufferers will be offered there will
be much need among under-p rivil-
