The Secretary of War has author ized the publication of the following Cablegram from General Persuing. In reference to your cablegram oi inauirv:" 'The stories probably invented rjy German agenta that colored soldiers In France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers, that when wound ed they are left on the ground to die without medical attention, etc., are absolutely false. The following are the loses as reported tip to June 18, in the four colored combat regiments now in France: 3G9th Infantry Died ot wounds, 3; died of disease, 8; severely wound ed, 2. 370th Infantry Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; ' severely wounded, none. 371st Infantry flMed of wounds, none; died ot disease, 8; severely wounded, none. 372nd Infantry JDtied of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. These figures show conclusively that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those occupied by white troops and 'hat ther physical condition is excel lent. A tour of inspection juist complet 3d among American Negro troops by officers of the trainling section of these headquarters show a compara tively high degree of training and effi ciency among these troops. Their training is identical with that of oth er American troops serving with the French army, the effort ibeing to lead ill American troops gradually to heavy combat duty by preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. Colored troops In trenches have been particularly fortunate as one regi ment had been there a month before any loses were suffered. This was almost unheard of heretofore on the western front. The exploits ot two colored infantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol, killing and wounding several Germans and winning the Croix de Guerre by their gallantry have arous ed a fine spirit of emulation through out the colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service.

Army and Navy Journal, June 24, 1918. THE AWFULNESS OF DECEPTION. Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D. Somehow or omor. 1 think there is a great deal ot difference in beJng deceived and deccptiuu. I know, literallv spekinir. there is no difter- Sun-'ence. But to my mind the feeling Is thought that the plans already agreed to by a commission would be carried out. But after all there Is not as much deception in the failure to do so as one might think. When any great body stands on top of a hill and must fall, it will not Btop rolling until it hits the bottom. As In ma terial things, so it is in spiritual things. Some people thought it was an easy matter to get together after the great National Baptist Convention had fallen apart. But it can be seen not that tills theory is not a true one. There should have been a great forward look before the happening. But instead the look came after the happening. So that not one person but thousands have been deceived. And yet we believe that there is a possibility of them reaching an agree ment somewhere and somehow if men would but use moderation and com mon sense. If they would but think of the vast .grounds over which they would have to go to make this agree ment possible, It would require prayer could not be accomplished In a tew days but it would require prayer and thought and the combined efforts of all the leaders.' The many intricate problems that must be worked out by both commission and committees re quire time. Some things that we had not thought of have come up since the meeting of the' Commission and will be of towering strength in our denominational life. For instance, since our separation, we have bought the Boscobel College on the east bank ot the Cumberland River, East Nash ville. This is as beautiful a place as can be found anywhere and has been purchased for our theological semi nary. On this ground of seven acres are four brick buildings with a dormi tory of not less than sixty-five rooms all ready for occupancy. The grounds have already been deeded to the de nomination. This inatter is to be threshed out in a way that will give faith to the entire denomination. And say what you please, this is a great asset in our denominational life. And we might as well now thresh out all of these questions that are so neces sary to the well-being of our denomi national life. By doing this, there will be. no equivocations relative to our being united in one body. I think that both the incorporated and unin- corporated conventions should , look 1 these matters squarely in the face and agree in these momentous ques tions. And this should be done be fore addine; other problems to be worked out. Let us all remember that it Is no small question to deal with more than three million people, believing the same thing and wor; shipping the same God. But in these days of thought and strife, it is hard to tell what the other thinking fellow is about to do or about to say and act, unless it is done without decep tion so that Jjla allies will not be de feated. I think that all concerned will agree to this proposition.- Be cause we are one In dogmatics and therefore we should be thinking along the same lines so as to give to the denomination the greatest comfort and the best sort ot rt,Ung- Not autocratic ruling, for Baptists do not believe In autocracy but Baptist de mocracy. A person can be deceived and one person can practice decep tion both npon himself and others. We want therefore in the earnestness of heart to plead with those who are disposed to be autocratic to deal in the light ot Christianity with all questions pertaining to this matter because of the great number of per sons interested. One can see the misery and awful- ness of going forward in a deceptive way, for there is no one who claims to be a leader who can expect to lay down such a program that "some of the people cannot understand Its meaning. For the eyes of the Lord are looking down upon us and He knows the intent of the heart. EGG CIECLES SUCCESSFUL IN THE SOUTH Egg circles in the South have been found practical in assuring fair prices, according to Miss Agnes Helen Harris, emergency assistant, vhome demonstration agent for the States Relation Service South. "Fifteen Southern States had 103 egg circles In 1917 and "the Indica tions are that this number Is now doubled," Bald Miss Harris. "Flori da has 220 women enrolled In its 19 circles. I have a report which shows that in approximately two months these women sold 11,791 dozen eggs and made $5,322.57. "The egg circles, which really con stitute a system of co-operative mar keting, have made it possible for these women to average 9 cents a dozen over what they would have procured ffrom their local markets. Many ot the women are so situated perhaps far out in the country that they could not ship the eggs, or perhaps if they could have shipped them they would not had enough to pay for individual consignments. Again, if they had all taken their stocks of eggs to one merchant of a little town he would have been over stocked. "By the egg circle system women in a given community select a secretary-manager and decide upon a defi nite time and a definite place to meet. The place la usually a school, house. At the appointed time they bring the eggs to the egg circle, the manager records the number brought in, se lects them carefully, packs them in crates and takes them to the nearest point of shipment. The eggs are shipped in the name of the secretary manager, who receives the checks and in turn reimburses the women. "In this manner women can dis pose of eggs profitably and ' persons who (ive in near by towns can obtain fresh .country eggs at : reasonable prices."

HAMPTON MINISTERS' CONFER ENCE SOUNDS PATRIOTIC NOTE. Hampton, Va July. 10. The fifth annual meeting ct the Ministers' Con lerence at Hampton Institute, which has just closed, brought to the Lower Peninsula at least 112 colored minis ters who were able to hear, during fuor days, helpful addresses by the Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, of Wash ington, D. C; Dr. Jaines Hardy 1311 lard, of Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanea and Slater Boards; i Rev. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute; Rev. Dr. C. M. Tanner, of Washington, and Dr. War ren H. Wilson, of New York, Secre tary of the Department of Gountry Church Work of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions. Last year the registration was 71. At the invi tation of Dr. Dillard, 26 ministers from North Carolina attended the con ference, and 24 came on the same In vitation from Virginia. The central Idea ot the conference was the opportunity which the rural church has to back up the work of other patriotic agencies. John B. Pierce, district Negro agent of the farm demonstration work in Virginia, states that "the Hampton Institute Conference for ministers had shown colored leaders from Virginia and other southern states bow to use all their rural and city resources, especially the benefits brought by county workers and others who are carrying out the Government's war work; how to make use of the Fed eral and State machinery lor im proving the work of rural ministers; and how to organize rural communi ties so that the ministers may earn a decent living1 and still remain in the country with their congregation." Dr. Brooks, In an interview on the conference, said: "Hampton Institute is an ideal place to spend a week for Inspiration, and practical help. I could wish only that every Baptist minister in the State of Virginia and the ministers of other faiths might come together annually at Hampton to rest the body and to help and be helped in things which have to do wltll,?ur mln,Btry and the weal ot our Prof. V. T. B. Williams, a Held agent of Hampton Institute and school visitor tor several of the imporiant educational boards, says: "No feature of Hampton's extension work has shown greater development in five years than the Hampton Ministers' Conference. The special effort made to reach ministers of rural churches bore rich fruit. The Tidewater re gion of Virginia and North Carolina sent many representatives. "Striking and ' valuable ' contrinu tions were made to the conference by Dr. Wilson, who has been a success ful country pastor and is known throughout the country tor his original, constructive work. His ad dresses flowed naturally out of his rich experiences. His teaching was practical, inspiring, and highly con structive. Those ministers who were so unfortunate as not to be present at the conference undoubtedly sustained a real loss. Not often can the ser vices of national religious leaders be secured tor local communities, yet this Is Just what hearty, wide-spread co-operation in the Hampton Institute Ministers' Conference is making pos sible." FOOD SHOW TAUGHT IMPORTANT LESSONS In response to the need ot the United States Food Administration for co-operation between the citizens of New York and the Federal Food Ad ministrators, the National League for Women's Service held a conservation food show at the Grand Central Palace, New York City. The show included demonstrations, given by Government and educational experts, of all forms of food conserva tlon-and food substitution, together with exhibits from food producers and dealers. These showed the pub lic what materials can be bought and the cost of each thus completing the educational story of what , the Gov ernment wishes the public to do.and the moans the public can employ to accede to Government regulations. The answer to questions that peo ple may have been puzzled about were answered by the exhibits. All the food needs of the body were explam- K in. chemical terms and the actual . ..j . i .1 roods tnai wouia meet, inese ueeuu were arranged in menus. All phases of food conservation having direct bearing on the country while at war were stressed. In one ot the most popular exhibits the dehydration process from begin ning to end was shown. The dehy dration of fruits and vegetables ac complished by heated air, blown by an electric fanning process, was Il lustrated. This process conserves all the food values, saves tin plate, now so scarce, and reduces the bulk of food. Eighteen pounds of spinach, for Instance can be reduced to 1 pound of bulk space. An entertainment was given every afternoon and evening under the auspices of the Stage Women's War Relief, and speakers in touch with Government and international sub jects talked every evening. A can teen was maintained by the National League tor Women's Service. - ' FIUDtAY VHEATLESS tar no nnm aucmj, - tumtmwKLmattKX COMXMSflM -WHXAX wnAl WD SHE DOt MARY JOHNSON'S HAIR $Ti Short W kUafcry Aew ta Loaf tad Fhiffy St- UtM NOAH'S HAIR DRESSING Moat M y aaaler Al supply yaa a a w M. raa. mn im. llMilMtirM ay wo pmoeoors cone, Richmond, va.
