EVERY MAN IS DRAFTED
IN UNCLE SAM'S ARMY
By the operation of the Selective
Service Act, the young men of this
Nation, except those who are not phy
sically qualified, or exempt for suf
ficient reason, are drafted into the
military service for Uncle Sam in this
war for democracy.
By the operation of the same act, j
all men not physically fit for military
service, as well as those above and
below the military age limit, are se
lected to remain at home and to serve
their country.
The Stay-At-Homes constitute a di
vision of the army of the United
States upon which Uncle Sam must,
depend to do a mighty big share in the
winning of the war. The duties de
volving upon this Stay-At-Home di
vision of the army are just as imper
ative as are the duties devolving upon !
the soldiers drafted by this Govern
ment to fight the Huns to a victorious
end.
The particular tasks assigned to
this Stay-At-Home division of the
army are to supply food and clothing
for the soldiers, to equip them with
guns and ammunition, and to back the
Government with their money through
the purchase of Liberty Bonds.
There is no escaping the draft by
any man. If you are not permitted to
go across and fight, you are selected
to remain behind and help provide the
sinew's of war.

NEGRO OFFERINGS AT
THE METROPOLITAN
Henry F. Gilbert’s composition en
titled “The Dance in Place Congo”;
was produced at the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York, last week. It j
was well received and spoken of high- j
ly by the Sun critic. Respecting the t
ballet, ho says:
“Of course a ballet which intro
duces to us slave overseers, planters ]
out to buy slaves or to hire a ‘Zanzi- j
bar dance of the finest,’ slaves of j
every tint from the ivory black of
Ethiopia to the lemon yellow of the j
near white girl or the half hidden j
| shadows of ‘Zoe the Octoroon’ is a nov ;
elty in pictorial character. And when I
the aged Negro preacher ambles for- j
ward to do a double shuffle we feel
that w-e are just swimming in atmos- j
phere.”
COLORED WORKER ADDED

Mrs. Ruth Walker, socialogical

Thomas C. Byrne, chairman of thi

who were formerly in his employ, but
who have entered the service.
“I give them some local news,” Mr
Byrne explained, “tell them about
their business associates who are keep
ing the home fires burning, and as
sure them that their city, state and
country are backing them to the
limit.”

How to Help the
Boys “Over There”
The Men at Home Should Work
BY E. F. FOLDA,
Secretary Nebraska Liberty Loan
Committee.
WE will all be bigger men, every
one of us, by reason of having
taken some part in the different wai
activities.
Think how you will feel when thr
boys come marching home, and they
will come, sure, after having firmly
established peace throughout all the
world, a permanent, lasting peace.
Think how you will feel as you irtand
by and see them come marching along
—can you approach them, shake them
by the hand and look them square in
the eye, if you have had no part in any
of the war activities? If you have
failed to do your fair share? Can you?
That's why the Nebraska Liberty
loan committee is doing everything it
can to furnish you with exact figures
that will show what your fair share
is and what your neighbor is expected
to do.
Do I have any doubts of the Ne
braska people doing their share? Had
you been with me at Bob Manley’s
meeting in the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce^ with a large room so fuil
of volunteer workers, every one anx
ious to do his bit, that standing room
was at a premium, your answer would
be “No.”
Had you been with me at the meet- \
ings held throughout the state by oui
chairman, Mr. Thomas C. Byrne, you
would also be persuaded that Nebras
ka will continue to remain well in the
foreground in this nation, in all w«n
activities.
Some thought the west was not alive
to the war conditions. The enlistment
of our boys from Nebraska proves we
are alive and more, and when the re
turns are tabulated for the third Lib
erty loan you will find the people of
Nebraska backing up the boys.
STUDENTS MAKE MILLION
AND HALF BRICK
The practical value of the work of
the American Church Institute for
Negroes, tho organization directing
the educational work of the Episcopal
Church, and of which the Rev. Robert
Patton, D.D., is special representative;
is interestingly revealed by a fact
cited by Dr. Patton in the annual re
port just issued, when he says:
“I recently had the pleasure of in
specting twelve large brick building
and warehouses constructed by the
beys of St. Paul’s School. (Lawrence
ville, Va,) A million and a half if
brick made by the boys on the farm
were used in the contsruction of these
buildings, which were bunilt by the
boyn under contract for business
firms. The profits from these con
tracts are to be devoted to the main- j
tenance of the school. Their work
has been wholly satisfactory to the
contractors. The boys have done the
ork chiefly during vacation, and will
use their wages to help defray the
cost of their education during the
coming schol year.”
The report shows that not only ha.,
no loss been suffered owing to the
war, but that the institute has been
enabled during the last year to make
larger appropriations than for several
years past. Dr. Patton has had mote
invitations to speak about the wort
of these schols than he has been able
to accept, invitations not only in the
North and South but in the West, in
cheating an ever-widening interest ir
this most important work.
Over 2,700 Colored boys and girls
are enrolled in the eight industrial
schools and the Bishop Payne Divinity
School, to which the institution makes
annual appropriations. “The magni
tude of the work,” saiys Dr. Patton
“is indeed impressive from the point
of view of numbers alone, but no fig
ures or words can adequately express
the hope and encouragement brougnt
annually to several thousand Negro
homes through the knowledge that
their sons and daughters are being,
given a fair chance in the battle ef
life.”
The total receipts of the Institute
during l!H(i-17 are reported at $79,
443.99.
