executives.
Conventions keynote address
was brought by Hon. A. A. Town
send, Director of Food Produc-
ton. He emphasized the great
need of greater production. The
Executive officers of the Fra
ternal Council, through its chief
executive leaders, Bishop r. r.
Wright, and j. A, Bray, has been
safely guided through the genius
of its leaders. The Fraternal Coun-
crl of Negro churches, is the great
est agency in the hands of the
race, it has had since the Inlmor-
tai A. Lincoln, signed the procla-
nation which set the Negroes
free. It's not the Council or the
church, its the church and Fra
ternal Council, working hand and
hand, led by the best brain in the
race, cooperating, forgetting all
UNCONVENTIONAL and sectional lines.

Despite the tremendous wartime demands from
industry for electric power, we have met every
demand and continue to provide the same COM
pletely satisfactory service to all our regular
customers.
And remember that through careful business man
agement we have been enabled to give our custom
ers about twice as much electricity for their money
as they got dozen years ago!

Severe shortages are causing government to
ration many commodities that we had grown to con-
slider as essential daily needs but you'll notice

of electricity! The reason is simple . it is because
there is plenty of electricity for all!
With war industries and training camps requiring
unheard-of amounts of electric power, you may
wonder how it is that shortage does exist
Again, the reason is simple We planned ahead and

PRIVATE IS INTERPRETER FOR CHINESE ACE

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP)-When Major M. T. Tung of the Chinese Air Force arrived in Northern Ireland, unable to speak English, U. S. army off cers figured it would be tough finding an interpreter for him. But they reckoned without Pvt. Walter B. Smith of Evanston, III.
 Smith, a former newspaper1nan at Chicago, had spent Is years in China and speaks Chinese fluent ly. He at once became the con stant companion of Ace Pilot Tung, who has shot down 10 Jap anese planes and has twice been decorated by Geralissimo Chiang Kai-shek for gaLbntry.

Chateau-Thierry and Champagne Marne, and in the A1sne- MaTne. St. Mihiel and Meuse-.A-goryle offensives. The entire regimen was decorated with the FTericn Croix de Guerre.
 Having lost approximately 50 per cent of it's men, under cor stant and gruelling fire during 30 days on the line, the regimen was relieved by the 60th Infar- try. After a rest during WhIch the organization received 600 re- placements, it was marched to z position in the Forest de Reese, and on Nov. 9, 1918, received or ders to be ready to move at mo- ment's notice.
 The men knew they were to take part in the final drive to encincle Metz, in the event the Germans did not accept terms of the proposed armistice, which had been rendered the Germans. Preparations were being made for the departure on the morning of Nov. II, when the end of the war was heralded by French villagers shouts of "Vive la France, Tive la Amerique, Vive les Allies! Fini la guerre-"
 The Fourth served as part of the Army of Occupation after the end of the war.

FOURTH INFANTRY IS COLORFUL UNIT

artillery serving with the navy during the Algerian war. The Philippine inSurrection had reach ed serious proportions, and the regiment sailed aboard the trans port Grant from Brooklyn tc Manila, by way of the Suez Ca nal.
 Wearing of a red breast cord for members of the regiments band was authorized after an in cident in the Mexican war. Dur. ing the battle of Monterey, ir l846, members of the band threw aside their instruments and join ed in the battle. They captured a Mexican field battery and turnel the guns on the fleeing enemy. The red breast cord was author ized to show that they were good artilleryrnen as well as infantry men.
