WARNINGS!

May we take this method to warn
our presidents and members to get
down to business in the local lodge.
We must pay more Death Claims
than we have been paying and if it
takes thinning out these local presi-
dents and lodges by fines and sus-
pensions in order to pay more Death
Claims, we are ready to do it.
These applications being made to
these local lodges are to be examined
by the Committee of the local lodge
and if one black ball appears against
the applicant. he cannot become a
member.
Applications are not to be voted,
or yea or nay. The law says that the
local lodge MUST ballot on applica-
tions. We want members; we need
members, however, we are not to
violate the Constitution to get them.
Yes, we are going to pay more Death
Claims ere long, and we are going to
punish law violators when 1t IS
found that lodge has violated the
laws. -

III. b. A. LODGE FINED AND
SUSPENDED
President Albert Campbell of
Waynesbord and His Lodge Fined

And Suspended
AS General Secretary of the III. B.
A, we are authorized by the General
President to announce the suspension
of President Albert Campbell and the
members of lodge No. 378, Waynes-
boro, Mississippi.
According to reliable information
obtained from several sources and
individuals, the president and mem
bers of lodge No. 378 have violated
laws of the Constitution In that they
have made an application for the re-
newal of a delinquent member of the
H. B. A. who has been out of the As
ISOLATION for approximately six OF
seven years.

According to information received,
the lodge attempted to renew a per-
son who was far beyond the age
limit as provided by the Constitution.
We regret very much that our
presidents and members are not as
careful as they should be in observ-
ing the law of this Association. 1t is
pitiful to fine and suspend presidents
and lodges, however, it is more pitt
full for us to be forced to pay unjust
claims. N

II. B. A. MOVES UP NOTCH IN
CLAIMS
LOCAL PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN
ACTIVE IN SENDING IN RE-
NEWALS; SOME ADVANCE
MADE

The local presidents and members
of the H. B. A. have been very active
in sending in renewals from the
Boards. At the close of the Boards we
paid $125.O0 to each claimant. This
ahount has been stepped ur from
$125.OO to $4,000.
Checks will be mailed out in the
next few days to the beneficiaries
who were paid off in the June Boards.
We wish to congratulate all concern
ed in the big effort that has bean
made to increase our payments.
BE CAREFUL
We are urging the presidents and
members of each lodge to be careful
in taking in new members and renew
ing old members. We have on hand
now applications that seem a bit su-
spicious. AS you all know, two pres
ldents, together with their entire
membership, were fined and suspend
ed in the June Boards.
Let's be careful not to make mis-
takes knowingly If an error has
been made, let it show conclusively
that the president and entire mem
bership did their best according to
law to protect the order. If we use
precaution we can pay $4,000 easier
than we are paying from S125.Oo to
$4,000.
II 1t IS known by the president ond
members of one lodge that the presi-
dent and members of another lodge
are taking in members in violation n
the Constitution and that president
and his members failed to make report
Oh same to the office, the ,Associa-
tlon has as much right to suspend
that president and lodge as it does
the one who is actually guilty of the
crime.

We wish to congratulate Brother
Scott and his good members for this

war; we must do our part. The war
cannot be won without the Negro.
The war cannot be won without the
White man. 1t is going to take all of

be long and hard fight. There will

broken hearts because of the loss of

unite our forces for victory.
Prejudice. malice, hatred. discrimi-

end may be if we do not remember
the commandment, "DO UNTO

We want to urge presidents and

CHUNGKING, June 10.-Fight-
ing IL miles west of the fiercely-
defended walled town of Chuh-
sien was reported today by the
high command, indicating the
Japanese had made some prog
ress in their drive to close the
180-m gap between their forces
in Chekiang and Kiangsi prov
inces.
Fighting continued in Kiangsi
Province, southeast of Nanchang,
Japanese occupied capital, at the
western end of the contested gap.
The Chinese reported, however,
that they captured several more
positions in the Nanchang area in
attacks intended to divert the jap
anese.
The high command said Chinese
defense forces frustrated an at
tempt by six enemy cruisers" to
land Japanese troops on the shore
Of Poyang Lake northeast Of Nam
chang Warships have access to the
lake from the Yangtze River.
The situation at Chuhsien itself
was left obscure, but it was be-
lieved the Japanese west of the
town had bypassed 1t and that 1t
still held out against the Japa-
nese assaults, now in their second
week.
A Chinese column operating be-
hind Japanese lines has advanced
to a point IL miles west of Nam
chang, the Chinese Central News
said.
This move was said here to be
an evident attempt to force the
japanese to withdraw part Of their
troops now thrusting toward Che
kiang Province and thus ease the
pressure on that Eastern War
sector.
The Chinese high command de-
clared last night that the fiercely
attacking Japanese have lost 1000
in dead and wounded in three days
Of bitter, futile assaults on Chuh-
stems defenses.
