C., Nov. 24.—If all the 400,000 Negro men who were in the army and navy during the World War do not keep up their war risa insurance it will not be the fault of colored welfare organizations throughout the country. Spurred by the fact that only about five per cent of the colored men are retaining their insurance now that they are out of the service, many lead ing colored organizations have started renewed activity to save for the men the war risk insurance upon which they paid premiums while in the serv ice. The average face value of each pol icy carried by colored men was $8, *40. Although a large per cent of this in surance has been allowed to lapse, it has not been lost to the men under the liberal reinstatement privileges granted veterans of the World War. Colored organizations not only are offering the men information as to their insurance rights and privileges under the provisions of the War Risk Insurance act, but are voluntarily aid ing them in again placing their insur ance in good standing. These organ. zations are rendering valuable work in co-operating with a representative of the colored race who is looking after the interests of the Negro in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. The government does not charge a higher premium because of danger ous employment, as is customary with commercial life insurance companies. No matter how hazardous the job a man holds, he can be protected under the terms of government insurance. His work may be in a coal mine, a powder factory or in an ice cream parlor—it’s all the same to Uncle Sam. A disability clause is contained in government policies, for which there is not extra charge. If totally and permanently disabled for any cause, the insured may get the benefits and no longer be required to pay pre miums upon his insurance. “The government is in the life in surance business only for the benefit and protection of those who safe guarded the nation in its greatest crisis,” says Lieutenant J. Williams Clifford, in charge of the colored men’s interests in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. “The country's obli gation to its fighting men did not end with the war, or when the men left the service. In discharge of an everlasting obligation Uncle Sam is offering his sendee men permanent insurance protection by extending to them the privilege of keeping their government insurance. Such an in- j surance policy is an asset with which to begin any career.” Every dollar of the insurance car ried by colored men can be reinstated by paying only two months pre miums. Only the premiums for the month of grace following discharge, when the insured was fully protected, and for the month in which the rein statement takes place are required in order to again be fully protected. (Re instatement must be made within 18 months after discharge.) Premiums should be paid by check, draft or money order payable to the Treasurer of the United States, and <ent to the Premium Receipt Section, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Wash ington, D. C. ZlOSi BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. W. F. Botts, Pastor. Last Sunday marked the close of the special ten-day service. Two good ser mons were given by the pastor, and several new members were added to the church. Sunday, November 30, baptism will be in connection with the evening service, to accommodate the candi dates who will not be able to attend the morning service. Next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 memorial services will be held at this church by the Knights of Tabor and Daughters of Tabernacle in honor of the late Rev. Frank Wilson of Kansas ! City, Mo., who was G. C. M. of the Kansas and Nebraska Jurisdiction. The sermon will be preached by Dr. Botts. The public is invited. The Mission Circle held no meeting jthis week. They will be entertained I Thursday, December 4, in the rest ; room of the church by the president. : Mrs. Ada Woodson. The meeting is I called for 2:30. The sick of the church includes M-. i Roulette, MrB. Baum and Mrs. Har i bin at their respective homes, and Mr. Alonzo Jackson at St. Joseph hospital. We hope for them a speedy recovery. The following visitors were present ■it services last Sunday: MisH Ruby May Scott, McAllister, Okla.; Mrs. Be atrice Brooks, Wichita, Kansas; Mrs. j 1. M.

(Special to The Monitor by Walter J. Singleton) WASHINGT0X- D- C- Nov- 24'— W The Whitelaw hotel, corner Thirteenth and T streets, N. W. was auspiciously opened with a six-day celebration. A literary and musical program was given each evening. Thousands of our citizens assembled to pay honor and homage to the mas ter mind who conceived the necessity for such an enterprise and who hail the courage to carry it out. Too much credit cannot be given to John White law Lewis, the banker, who bent all his energies to its accomplishment. The most prominent of our citizens, social and fraternal, took part in the exercises each evening, and a number of ladies formed a reception commit tee who welcomed the guests and took delight in pointing out the attractive rooms. An orchestra was provided to entertain the guests, also a buffet supper and light refreshments were served each night. This hostelry has long been needed in the nation’s cap itol. The visitors and traveling pub lic will hereafter find a well appoint ed and first class hotel at their dis posal during their brief visits from time to time, relieving private homes from the necessity of opening their doors to accommodate those who visit here. Location. The hotel is six stories, high, cen trally located in one of the most beau tiful and attractive neighborhoods of the city; convenient to all street car lines and is furnished throughout with the latest and most approved equipment. The main entrance on Thirteenth street has a drive-way to the door. Later on, in the spring, a roof garden will be one of the special features, the view from which will em brace all the public buildings and the monument. The rooms are all well lighted and ventilated by large window's, steam heated, artistically papered, electrical ly lighted, hot and cold running water, call hells and show'er baths. The furniture was selected with spe cial care. Furniture, tapestry and draperies harmonize in design and will anneal to home tastes. The beds are mahogany, walnut, old ivory, white enamel. oak, birdseye maple and beau tifully designed brass. The rugs were also selected with great care to har monizp with the mural decorations, and are in Wilton, Velvet, Axminster and Bnissells. Private Reception and Dining Rooms The private reception parlor and dining rooms are on the second floor. There is a council or waiting parlor exquisitely appointed and furnished, is separated by double French sliding doors connecting with the dining room. The main dining room, located on the first floor with its stained glass ceiling, soft harmonizing draperies «nd beautifully set tables, each with its electric glow lamp of artistic de sign, seats one hundred people com fortably, and can be secured for ban quets, etc. The Grotto is open at all hours and w'ill serve those whose time cannot conform with the set hours of the main dining room. The kitchen is a model of sanitary art and contains every modern appli ance known to promote the better cul inary art. Tlie Whitelaw' Apartment House Company (Incorporated) extends to the traveling public an invitation to make their home at this hotel while in the city. This imposing structure, a gift to the public in general, is due primarily to that master mind and financial genius, John W. I-ewis. The architect was a colored man, contractor colored, and all workmen were colored men. Chess. God and Satan piny chess together.

The man who is worthy of being a leader of men will never complain of the stupidity of his helpers, of the Ingratitude of mankind, or of the In appreciation of the public. These thlnf’-'are all a part of the great game of lite. and to meet them and not go down before them in discouragement and defeat Is the final proof of power —Elbert Hubbard.
