Apparently this IL discrimination
of the first water. What coach

Singh in his backfield, tossing

wouldn't like to have Big Train
Moody hitting that line? 1t is pre-
posterous that this hasn't been

one iota of fair play are called to
task to see why this isn't done.

What do Negroes care about Wal

rangement and arraignment Of

WANT PARTICIPATING
Negroes want to participate in
this program the same as whites
and if there is any doubt about the
type of football they would play,
this then, is a challenge to the
powers that be to put a Negro team
on the field, equip them with the
aecessary materials, give them the
same training whites receive and
watch the results.
Sending out profuse brochures
and nice sounding stories is one
thing, but the sight and sound OF a
husky all-Negro IL lockinghorns
with top notch teams is another.
Will the army do it? They should
and pressure should be brought to
bear on them to do it.
Next thing we know, they'll be
having all-star army basketball

by church leaders in Britain. The
Malvern Conference of Church of
England leaders, the Roman Catho-
lie hierarchy and Free Church lead
ers have all voiced this demand in
official statements.
There was a new development on
the British religious front this week
Protestant, Roman Catholic and jew
ish religious leaders joined to form a
Famine Relief Committee. Purpose
is to obtain authentic information
on food conditions in Nazi-controlled
countries and to devise methods for
shipping food, vitamins and medi-
cal aid to such countries, wherever
control Is possible. The Bishop of
Chichester is chairman.
Religious Conventions.
President Roosevelt this week put
an end to the growing apprehension
among churchmen over Defense
Tr> 5portation Commissioner East
mans recent appeal that conven-
tlons OF all kinds be postponed for
the duration. AS result of this
appeal several church bodies an
nounced they would either restrict
or cancel contemplated gatherings.
The convention of the International
Walther League of the Lutheran
Church, scheduled to be held this
month, was indefinitely deferred by
officials who decided that "it would
be an unpatriotic act to hold the con-
vention at this time" There was at
least one public protest against
Commissioner Eastman's suggestion.
1t came from the convention of the
District of Columbia religious work
ers late last month.
The President has now gone on
record as expressing the hope that,
wherever possible this year, Ameri-
cas- religious bodies will hold their
regular national conferences and
conventions. In letter to the pres
ident of the International Conven-
tion of the Disciples of Christ, which
meets at Grand Rapids, Mich, be-
ginning July %, Mr.. Roosevelt said
that nothing but the prior demands
OF the war on our resources should
intervene to curtail or interrupt
this marshalling of the spiritual
forces of the Nation"
Missionaries Increase.
The number of American Roman
Catholic missionaries has increased
by Is per cent in the past two years
to total Of 5.187. according to the
1912 edition of "A Missionary Index
of Catholic Americans" published
by the national headquarters of the
Catholic Students Mission Crusade.
More than 1900 OF the mission
aries, 1t stated, are engaged In the
foreign mission field.
The largest number OF mission
aries Is reported by the Jesuits,
who have 484 men in home and
foreign fields. Next in numbers are
the Maryknoll Missioners, with 240
men, all but 13 of whom are over
seas.
Among the sisterhoods, the Sisters
OF the Blessed Sacrament rank
first, with 347. Next come the Mary
knoll Sisters, with 313. Various
franciscan sisterhoods have COM
bined personnel Of Al doing mis-

From the distance there was

echo of it rolled to the hills and back

footed a shrill, sharp warning.

And now an explosion roared

and the door behind the sentries
puffed open.
And Orden said, Annie, want
you to stay with madame as long
as she needs you. Don't leave her
alone"
He put his arm around madame

and then he moved slowly toward
the door where 1t, Prackle stood.
In the doorway he turned back to

Winter closed his eyes for a mo-
ment before he answered, "The debt

Orden chuckled then. II remem-

He put his hand on Prackle's arm
and the lieutenant f1inched away
from him.
