MELTING MILITARY Race Amity Hears Pleas for Peace by Various Speakers. Melting down of the bronze statues | of amilitary heroes adorning the parks and streets of American cities, and replacement by statues of peace- makers, was urged by Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell of the University of Rich- mond, speaking before the Conven- tion of Amity Between the Colored and White Races, meeting last night in the Mt Pleasant Congregational Church, 1410 Columbia road. Dr. Mitchell said that the influenc and names of such men as Booker 'l Washington should be recorded in American histories and taught from the pulpits of the country. “We should emphasize the unity of man as well as the unity of God. said Dr. Mitchell. “Underneath all political parties there is beneath all sciences ther and above all nations there is human- ity.” Peace, World's Hope. Allen B. McDaniel, chairman of the conference, last night said that during the entire Christian era there have been only 283 vears in which there has not been warfare in the world. He said that peace is, and always will be, the hope of the world. Louis G. Gregory, colored Bahai lecturer, spoke on_inter-racial amity and world peace. He said that by its power America today commands the homage of the world and that by a stand which enables all races within its borders to dwell in peace and un- derstanding, it will not only maintain its own high station, but will inspiré by its noble example, all other peoples of the earth. One in ldeals. “There is no greater menace to the perpetuity of a nation than internal dissensions upon which foes may con- centrate their attacks,” he said. “The white and colored people have lived side by side for three centuries, yet each would gain much by a better acquaintance with the other, as they are one in ideals, aims and hopes. The badge of true distinction is serv- jce to humanity. The dissemination of divine ideals and the application of the golden rule to race relations iwould bring a power of unity and accord into American life that would be proof against all antagonistic forces.” . The Girls’ Glee Club of Howard University sang several ‘“‘spirituals,” and the'quartet of the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church sang hymns, This afternoon there will be an a dress by Rabbi Abram Simon, chai man of the Synagogue Council of America. Mountford Mills of the Na- tional Bahai Assembly will speak on “The Foundation of Unity.” OLD RIVER CAPTAIN SHOT BY SICK WIFE She Then Slashes Her 'Throa Familiar Figures in Early Ohio Navigation.
