Owing to the increased cost of liv ing, etc., the N. W. C. A. finds itself badly in need of funds to meet current ' expenses, so they are planning a large fair to be given in the near future, the success of which will depend largely upon the support given it by our own people. We respectfully ask the public to keep this in mind, fur ther details will be announced later. Anyone wishing to pledge money in any amount for the home, call ' Veb ster 3217 and a committee wi',1 call and collect it, and give credit for the same.

Letters from Our Readers DOES NOT CONO R WITH THE MONITOR Editor Monitor: I do not concur with The Monitor for publishing what I call first hand news. I speak ol Lieut.-Col. Young. Colonel Young at present is a lieuienant-colonel. His next promotion would be colonel and not a general. Colonel Young is not immune from becoming disabled for active service. Major Frank A. Barton, an old commander of mine, v.as retired the 28th of last month for disability, incident to the service. He was then first on the list for Lieut. Colonel. We ought to hear first from Colonel Young. Such reports if not true would probably cause Colonel Young to make an explanation to the war department. I am sure we would do nothing to harm such a gallant and distinguished man as Colonel Young. SERGT. I. BAILEY, 2816 Pratt St. Omaha, Neb., July 10, 1917. CORRECTION Philadelphia, July 5, 1917. Rev. John Albert Williams, Editor of The Monitor: Dear Sir—In reading the article of the Parker and Cropp nuptials I find that it stated that they were served from two plates that the groom’s great-grandfather and great-grand mother were served from sixty-two years ago. Will you kindly correct the date. It should be seventy-nine years ago, as they were married April 19, 1838. Yours with thanks, CAPT. GEO. A. ROBINSON. 715 South Seventeenth Street.

Not only will it be necessary to es tablish permanent bases to work from, but it will require the utmost secrecy upon the part of all appli cants. Reliable men will be placed in various large cities from whom applicants may obtain money to pur chase tickets to certain points and it becomes necessary not only to deter mine the reliability of applicants, but to determine as well the possibility of keeping people from talking evert among themselves. Getting men out of the South has become a risky busi ness, not only for those engaged but for those leaving. In parts of Tennes see men are not allowed to leave even after purchasing their tickets and the prospects are that men will be in timidated in many others places. As far as possible the applicants will be routed over the M. & 0. and Frisco lines for the reason that these two lines have placed themselves in a position justifying the trust and con fidence of Colored people leaving. The Monitor still asks for the appli cants to be patient, because the task now is no easy one. It requires care, secrecy and hard work. Forty-two men were brought from St. Louis to Duluth, Minn., for the Minnesota Steel Mills. Most of them were East St. Louis men, leaving be cause of the riot. Many more men are still needed. Many men are arriving in Omaha from the south, mostly applicants through The Monitor, and all are being placed as rapidly as they ar rive. James Woods, of Pensacola, has se cured a place in a garage in Omaha paying him $18.00 per week. James Taylor, also of Pensacola, has been employed as a chauffer at the salary of $16.00 per week and board. About 2,000 Colored men who re turned to work in East St. Louis w-ill leave as soon as the Federal soldiers are removed from the city. Many applicants write letters in quiring as to wages paid in the north. W'ages vary, but The Monitor does not bring men for any work paying less than 25 cents per hour. Many labor agents were in St. Louis trying to persuade the refugees to return south to Kentucky, Missis sippi, Tennessee, and Virginia, but they had little luck. “No more south!” was the slogan from all lips. The American Smelting and Refin ing company has a contract job for which more than 200 men will be em ployed in about six or eight weeks. All men will be brought from the south through The Monitor. F. C. W’illiams, member of The Monitor Employment department, spent several days in Mobile recently in an effort to perfect arrangements toward making Mobile the base of operations for bringing men out of Southern Alabama and Florida.
