Of the churches did not want the

of holding a convention in this city

churches cooperated, according to
convention officials.
Later there arose some discus

White Ushers Forced On Meet
To add fuel to the flames, under
the union set-up the regular white
ushers had to be used at an addi-

The ticket takers added another $50

REPORT White ARMY OFFICER
PROSECUTED FOR
(HAMpI0NING NEGRO
CAUSE AND FEpC

SHREVEPORT, La, Sept. II
(ANP)-Capt. Thomas F. Hoult, a
white army officer at the Camp
Livingston station hospital, is re-
ported to have been reduced in rank
for championing the cause of the
Negro and the FEPC bill.
Captain Holt is said to have lost
his captaincy following an article
he wrote to the Shreveport Times
Peoples forum against an anti
FEPC editorial appearing in that
paper on Aug. 2. Reports reveal
that he is now lieutenant.
In his article to the Times, ne
championed the cause of the Ameri-
can Negro as we'll as gave an intelli-
gent and scientific analysis of dark
er peoples in other parts of thc
world. He charged that his station
hospital practiced racial discrimin-
alton and segregation against Ne
gro army officers.
"The colored officers in this hos
pital have no swimming pool, for
example," he wrote, but white
officers have an elaborate club and
pool"
Capt. Thomas F. Hoult, former
social scientist, pleaded for fair
play and justice for darker people
all over the world. In behalf OF
American Negroes, he said:
"On the local level, the United
States has the opportunity to dem
onstrate to the colored people of the
world that it intends to be demo
cratic in fact as we'll as in name
Our own country is the proving
ground for what we will support
and do in the world. If we cannot
demonstrate an inherent spirit OF
good will here, we will continue t(
be mistrusted by the colored mer
in other nations, and continued wal
and misery will be the inevitable
result"
Following the appearance of his
article in the local Times, the cap
tain is reported to have been re
duced to lieutenant on some film
sy technicality.

BY ROBERT CRUMP

Inc O0th annual session or the Ma
tional Baptist convention, Inc,
came to a close after a five day
meeting here in what was consid-
cred one of the most successful ses-
sions in the hitory of this great re-
ligious organization. DIR. D. V. jam
sions in the history of this great re-
lanta chosen for the 1916 conven-
ton.
A gathering of $4,000 delegates
and visitors was entertained by the
local Baptist churches headed by
DR.. Theodore S. Boone, pastor King
Solomon Baptist church, who acted
as chairman of the convention COM
mittee. So great was the gathering
that it was impossible to find any
place large enough to accommodate
the various departments for meet
ing under one roof.
The mems convention, the Wom-
ems convention; home and foreign
mission boards, publishing board
youths department, Sunday SchooI
congress, the theological seminary
the N. B. Training school, laymen's
department and the department OF
religious education were forced tC
meet at different churches.
The chief aims and detectives OF
all departments of the convention
are, according to Miss Primrose
Punches Of Chicago, education anC
missions. Reports turned in by the
departments indicate that a splen.
did work has been carried on along
these lines. The most outstanding
reports had to do with foreign mis-
sions which entailed work done il
East Africa, West Africa, South
America, the Bahama islands anC
particularly the two hospitals in
Africa where wounded soldiers re
ceived medical treatment wher
America made her second front il
Africa.
The financial report from tht
mems convention, the governing
body of the organization, showed
among other monies, that the enroll
ment funds amounted to 100000
which represented a $40 representa-
ton fee for each church in the con
vention. This fee, according to DR.
Boone, gives to each church one del
egates. All additional delegates sen
by any church pay the sum of S!
each. The state convention, the gov
erning body of each Baptist churcl
in each state, pays 500. The presi
dents of state conventions are auto
matically vice-presidents of the ma
tional convention, says DR.. Boone
Figures compiled by Miss Fun
ches showed the women's conven
ton reporting $4,000; the yount
peoples department $4,000, for

DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT

How would court decide the con-
flicting requirements for eligibility for a
city pension, heretofore employed and
payment ION retirement?
While it is entering the realm of the
ridiculous to try to determine the decision
a court will arrive at on any question, yet
we are aware that court is guided usually
by the customary procedure in a matter
under consideration, for common law is
based on custom.
When does man, who has worked the
required number of years for the federal
government or any of its subdivisions apply
for pension or an annuity? At the time of
his retirement.
Before he leaves the service, the appli-
cation for the pension or the annuity has
been prepared, so much so that, if it is
denied him, he continues in the service, as
has been the case in many instances. The
moment his pension is approved, he auto
matically has his name removed from the
payroll and put on the pension roll
AS that is the custom, it is not presuml-
ing too much to say that a Judge, in consid-
ering the conflicting clauses in the city's
pension law, would be guided by the prac-
tice that is generally adhered to in grant
ing pensions.
Futher, we have heard of laws that
have been made imperative in toto because
of conflicting requirements set-up by two
or more sections, and other laws that have
been permitted to remain in force with the
exception of the sections that are at vari-
ance.
Of one thing we may be sure, thereto
fore employed" and upon retirement are

DREAMS ABOUT FOREIGN TRADE

Billions of dollars have been appropri-
ated by Congress to help restore Europe.
One of the ways to 'get it back" is in for
eign trade. A great many people believe
that is not only dream, but pipedream.
One of the ablest Republican Senators is
Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin. He remind
ed the Senate this week that in prewar
years that the foreign trade had averaged
only percent to percent of our national
income, and he admitted that he was not
enthusiastic about the effect of another
shot-in-the-arm doing the job. He added:
Perhaps should ask, will it even help?'
If it will, then it will be worth the shot But
before we can be sure that it will help, we
must know that these nations are entering
upon the highway to help themselves as
we did, as we have always done. And we
must make sure, too, that in our dealing
with them we are not depriving them of the
very thing that will help nourish them
back into economic and political health.
Il refer to the matter of foreign trade.
We have made fetish of it. We propagan-
died the subject so that one would think
that insteadof s pereent,of orr income being
dependent upon foreign trade IS percent
of it is so dependent"

WHY LIVE LONGER?

New knowledge in the field of nutri-
hon. according to specialists. can increase
the average span seven years and, in addi-
ton. ward off disease and senility.
This will be good news to persons in
Key West who are yearning for long life
hong as possible. All that is necessary is to
and anxious TO remain on the globe as
understand the nature of foods and the
needs of the normal human body and gov
ern your appetite accordingly.
The question arises, however, why
measure life by length of years. Some citi-
gems live longer in three years than their
neighbors in ten and other accomplish as
tfuch in two years as their competitors in
twelve. The years of ones life are valuable,

we will. very probably, assure ourselves of
others that We might not otherwise have.

TURKEY TROUBLED

The news of the day tells us, occasion
ally, of trouble brewing over the Dardan-
Giles and of Turkish anxiety that the prob
lem be settled by an international confer
ence rather than through talks between
Turkey and Russia.
The straits were open to the shipping
of all nations during the war but because
German submarines were in the Black Sea
and Germans dominated the Greek islands
guarding the entrance to the Dardanelles
there was no chance of Allied ships getting
through.
We have seen no authoritative state
ment of Russian aims in regard to the OAR
danelles but it is perfectly natural for the
Soviet to desire assurances in connection
with the passage of shipping through the
straits. Otherwise, the southern part of
Russia has no outlet to the sea lanes of the
world.
