Cold-Blooded Business
THE manager of the steamship line of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co., Inc., whose new vessel, the "Booker T. Washington," is riding the bounding billows somewhere between New York and the West Indies, is quoted in the New York press as saying: "We are going to run it on cold-blooded business lines. We do not intend to cut rates. All we want is a square deal."
"Cold-blooded business" has an ominous strain, not unlike the evening dirge of a hangman, or the reverie of the master of a galley-slave ship. It is in direct contrast to the Golden Rule, and if thoroughly applied to us poor mortals, it would make the world decidedly more unhappy than it is. Let us look at the "Log Book" of "Cold-blooded Business." where the debits make the credits look like the grains of sand.
"Cold-blooded business" ruined Belzazzar. It was the downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte. While it made the South become prosperous for a time, through the slave trade, its final reckoning cost the South years and years of progress.
"Cold-blooded business" tried to silence the poetic voice of Paul Lawrence Dunbar and would have muzzled the songs of Roland Hayes. It failed, though. It has cost our group the heavyweight prize ring championship at least once or twice.
"Cold-blooded business" has wrecked a number of our banks. It has forced a number of our business enterprises into bankruptcy and failure.
"Cold-blooded business" and "hard-boiled" methods, in fact, never pay all the way down the line, because their proponents always meet someone who is a little more "cold-blooded" and "hard-boiled" than are the protagonists of such principles. Quiet, honest effort, tempered with as much feeling for others as we would want them to have for us, will prevail over "cold-blooded" business time in and time out, excepting perhaps in the stock market—and that is not a business—it is a profession.
WAR PERIL SEEN IN RACIAL HATRED
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt Says White Race Must Return Lands Stolen From Yellow and Black Men.
Washington, Jan. 20. "The white race must disgorge. The lands we stole from the yellow and black races at the point of the sword must be returned are there can ever be peace on the earth."
With these words Mrs. Carlie Cipquan Catt brought to an end the discussion of the causes of war which have held five hundred women delegates in secret for the last two days, reports Emina Dingbee, in state correspondence to the Tribune.
Basis and religious prejudices were sources of war, she said, which would not be touched by the League, Nations or the World Court, but which were "great, big bombings, earthquakes" which eventually would disturb peace of the world.
"The Japanese are being taught Western ways of living and Western ways of making war," she said "they are also learning our stock arguments for foreign aggression. They will establish a Monroe Doctrine for Asia, they say. They will

AUTOMATIC PISTOLS FAIL KNIFE USED IN MURDER
John Petway in Fit of Jealousy Inflicts Mortal Wounds on Thomas Samuels.
In a fit of jealousy, John Petway, 45, 42 West 19th street, is said to have stabbed Thomas Samuels, 37, 2400 Seventh avenue. Samuels was rushed to Harlem Hospital but died soon after from wounds in his throat.
Friday night, while a party was in progress at 42 West 19th street, Petway is said to have entered in an angry humor and accused Samuels of intimacy with his wife, from whom he is separated.
Samuels denied the allegation and an argument ensued. Petway then ran to his room and returned with two automatics, which he swelled at Samuels and pulled the triggers. Both guns failed to go off, however, and darting back into the room, amid the laughter of those present. Petway returned with a long carrying knife. He then leaped at Samuels, stabbing him in the back and throat repeatedly.
Someone notified the police and nosetectives Boyle and Dent, of the West 135th street station, were on the scene, accompanied by an ambulance from Harlem Hospital. Samuel was found in a dying condition and Petway was lying on a couch bleeding profusely from a gash in his throat, believed to have been self-inflicted. Both men were taken to Harlem Hospital. After Samuel's death Petway was removed to Bellevue Hospital, where he is held a prisoner. It is said that he will recover to face a charge in the Homicide Court.

EX-GOV. SULZER INTENDED REG'T SHOULD HAVE NEGRO OFFICERS
Signed Bill, He Writes, Wtih Understanding Tha Entire Personnel, From Colonel Down Should Be Colored.
Publication of the petition of the Equity Congress of Greater New York, Inc., 2295 Seventh Ave., asking for all colored officers for the 369th Regiment, in The Amsterdam News of last week has aroused a storm of interest, and much strong discussion pro and con.
Ex-Governor William Sulzer, signer of the bill that created the regiment, has forwarded a letter of commendation to The Amsterdam News. He says that when he signed the bill it was with the understanding that the officers should be of "the same race" as the members of the regiment. Why that was not done is beyond his ken, he says. This letter in full and the bill are published in full in this issue of The Amsterdam News.
On the other hand, the officers named for promotion in the Equity Congress have written in to protest against the use of their names, and have forwarded a letter to Col. Little assuring him of their loyalty. "Such action on the part of Equity Congress cannot be for the best interest of the ment and the community," declare these officers. This munication is also published.
Several leading citizen by representatives of The Amsterdam New., Most of the were not willing to be quoted at this time. One who declaim himself in favor of the proposition, said: "If Chicago with population of 150,000 can have a regiment officered entirely colored, why can't New York with a population of 250,000? This is the question that is forcing itself upon the Negro of Harlem.
The armory's not only an athletic, but a social institution as well, and inasmuch as the white officers do not ordinarily take part in the social activities, not only of the men but of their fellow colored officers as well, all colored officers would be more desirable if for no other reason than as a factor for social uplift.
Others declared themselves as being strongly opposed jim-crow organizations, but that as the regiment was alr an existence the only course consistent with self-respect saw would be to have all colored officers. No colored however competent, they said, would be permitted a part in any white regiment, hence the rule ought to wi ways.
Some were of the opinion that Negroes would not proper respect to a Colonel of their own color and that of jealousy at seeing another Negro up they would be for some reason to drag him down. Others said Colonelcy demanded one with influence and more
Ex-Governor Sulzer's Letier
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News—
Just a few lines to congratulate you, and to commend the Equity Congress for the efforts it is making to have the New York Negro Regiment officered—all along the line—from top to bottom, by Negro Officers. Why this is not done is something beyond my ken.
Many of you remember that in the face of a general protest, and much unjust opposition, I wrote on the statute books, when I was Governor, the law for a Negro Regiment in the State of New York, and I did it because as a matter of Right and of Justice. The Negro citizens and taxpayers of New York were entitled to this representation in the National Guard.
That regiment was mustered in as the "Fighting Fifteenth," now the 369th Infantry of the National Guard.
When I signed the bill I said in a public statement that the officers of the regiment must be of the same race as the members of the regiment, and I predicted that if the time ever came, and the regiment was called into action it would give a good account of itself. It certainly did on the field of France, during the World War, where it made history for the United States of which every citizen in our land is proud.
All honor and all glory to our gallant Negro soldier. They should select their own officers.
Therefore, I sincerely trust that efforts to have the Negro Regiment officered by Negro soldiers will be successful, and to that end anything I can do to help you will be cheerfully done.
(Signed) WM. SULZER.

Likewise, in South America, are sending to Mrs. Cast, Catt, to change in racial antagonism arising from the Negro question. Until the United States polls the Negro nation within its own boundaries, I will never have the condition of the people of South America, she said.
"I don't want to get mixed up with the Fundamentalist," she added, "but if you believe we came from the Garden of Eden then the white race is no farther along than the yellow and black. If you think we come evolution, well, there may be difference in the kind of books sprang from. At any rate it is not fair for the white man to have two acres each and the yellow man an inch; and we shall never have peace until there is no room for all the people God ever made."

of the globe rather than concern over the fate of Christian Armensians, according to M. Barton Malcolm, an Armenian lawyer living in New York. The economic stability of nations rather than the runeless greed was the chief cause of war, according to John Forest Dullica, former member of the Reparations Commission; while William Smith Culbertson, of the United States Turfif Commission, said the struggle for the raw materials of the earth was the basis of most modern wars.
Mr. Dulles told the women that the homely virtues of trying to hold what they have earned rather than predatory lust was the impulse that drove nations to war.

Seven more persons have been arrested by unrestricted officers in their crusade against drugs in Harlem. The seven were taken in a raid at 27 W. 136th street by Detectives George Schmucker and William Crusher, who said they found a member of hypokryptic cocodes, heroin and cocaine in packages hidden in the wall and about the sink.
As the officers tried to enter they said they heard a crash of glass in the rear and found several men and women trying to escape. The place it is said, was a resort for dope honds.
The prisoners are: Minnie Sherd, No. 259 West 133d street; Julia Clark, Ed. Morgan and Howard Davis, No. 25 West 136th street; Harry Miller, No. 26 West 133d street, and Michael Burns, No. 47 Prince street, Brooklyn. Burns is white, all pleaded guilty and were held in 2500 ball each for Special Sessions.

Colonel Little was the best man. Many men in and out of
he regiment stated that there is not an officer in the regiment
qualified to be Colonel.
The following are some repre-
entative replies of those who were
filling to be quoted:
Letter to Col. Little
Fred R. Moore
EDITOR NEW YORK AGE.
"I am against the proposition. I am strongly opposed to anything I will, or all colored, or anything hat makes for segregation like hat. The contact between white and colored officers is good; it helps to break up color prejudice.
"Assistance of that sort is bad. There are white men in that regiment who are willing to go the init for us. I am for co-operation, don't get away from your friends, merely for the sake of putting in men because they are colored. I don't think a better man than Col. little could be found. He has nothing personal to gain that I can see, and is in the regiment because of its desire to help his fellow-men and his country."
EDITOR OF THE MESSENGER.
I see no reason why the regiment shouldn't have a Negro collar if there is one to fill the place.
As to all colored officers I am opposed to that for the same reason that I am opposed to all white or all colored regiments or anything the strictly racial."
Dr. A. Clavton Powell.
PASTOR: ABYSSINIAN BAPTIST
CHURCH.
"I am strongly in favor of the
position." We have three of the
citations that we are asking our
numbers to sign."
George W. Harris.
EDITOR AND FORMER ALDERMAN.
Since it has been decided by the state that the regiment should be a colored one, I see no reason why it should not be colored throughout, even to the official personnel. Besides the time is past when any of our colored institutions needs direction by members of the other race. We have men today capable of filling any position, all they need is the opportunity.
But interested as we are in seeing an all colored roster for the regiment we ought to be equally interested in seeing that none but efficient, capable colored officers are selected. The nation should be controlled if necessary to find colored man of sufficient military experience and independent means to fill these posts.
"Well, little has always been orally in favor of such a program, but the Governor and the National Guard are not."
The opinion has been expressed by many that should Governor Smith see the wisdom of appointing an entire Negro officer personnel for the 369th he undoubtedly has surrege enough to do so. The two commentations from the officers of the 369th, one of which is addressed to Col. Little and the other to the editor of The Amsterdam News, follow:

The beautiful satiny black hair, which always seems so smooth and glossy and has so much to do with the appeal and charm of Miss Valada Snow, now appearing with the "In Bamville" Company, is due to the regular use of Pluko, the delightfully perfumed preparation, which so many thousands of our men and women are now using to make their hair more attractive.
When asked about her beautiful hair, Miss Snow said: "No, indeed. I have not always had long, straight hair. I used to have just as much trouble with my hair and scalp as any one of our group; but I don't any more. I find that by using Pluko Hair Dressing regularly my hair is always long, smooth, straight and easy to dress any way I wish."

Dear Sir:
"In view of the fact that all of the undersigned are active members of the National Guard of the State of New York and have never given permission for their names to be used in the petition circulated throughout Harlem and published in your paper, we deem it absolutely unfair for such procedure being exercised toward us.
"Enclosed please find resolution decided upon at a meeting of the officers concerned on Wednesday evening, January 21, 1924, at which time this resolution was acted upon, and we respectfully request that you print same.
"It is obvious that we would welcome promotion for meritorious service, but resent promotion through political or sympathetic sources."

"The Last of the Arkansans"
"The Last of the Arkansans"
BY WILLIAM PICKENS.
The last of the Elaine victims are free! The fight had gone into the sixth year, and the result proves the philosophy of fight. If there had been no fight in the N. A. A. C. P. there would have been death for a dozen victims of "law" and legal slavery for threesecond.
But in spite of the foolish counsel of those who wanted "quiet," this fight was made and kept up, at considerable expense and some peril to individuals, until today as I write the National Office is reading a telegram from Scipio Jones that the last of the six victims who were destined for the electric chair sixty months age are now free. This job for the N. A. A. C. P. is not only the greatest job ever done by Scipio Jones, but the greatest achievement of any Negro lawyer in the history of the country. Truly he is "Scipio Africanus Maximus." And as for the association, this single achievement would justify the entire sixteen years of its existence.
The blot on Arkansas can never be wiped out, but the fighting group of American Negroes and their white friends have kept the blot off their own record by sticking to this matter until it was finished, and finished right.

Granny Branch Coal Company Paid Second Quarterly Dividend
It is interesting to know that the Granny Branch Coal Company Inc., a million-dollar concern of West Virginia, which is financed by the Robert T. Bear Co., reputable stockbrokers of 2295 Seventh Ave., New York, paid its second quarterly dividend of 20 cents per unit on the 2nd of this month to all its stockholders throughout the country. Among the recipients of dividend checks were people residing in Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Newark, Jersey City, Albany, Baltimore, New York, and other cities.
The President of the Robert T. Bess Co. (Mr. Robert T. Bess), who is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Granny Branch Coal Co., has recently returned from Washington, D.C. where he was engaged over two weeks lecturing to church and other organizations. Among other recommendations is the following from Rev. H. T. Medford, D.D., pastor of the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church of Washington, D.C.
TO WHICH CONCERT
This is to say that Mr. Robert T. Bess, President of the Robert T. Bess Company of New York City, has recently visited our city in the interest of the Granny Branch Coal Company of West Virginia. Mr. Bess addressed a meeting of the members of our Church on the matter concerning the above Coal company and made a very favorable impression upon the persons pres-

ent. He addressed a number of other Church and organized bodies in the city, including the Baptist Ministers' Conference. All in all Mr. Bess makes a profound impression upon us as a business man of ability and integrity and the opportunity he offers our people to secure stock in the Coal Company he represents appears very interesting and inviting; and, on the face of the extensive document and information he gives, it seems advisable that our people should secure as much stock as possible therein. Personally, I am in possession of some shares and value there very much.
(Signed) H. T. MEDFORD.
The fact that the Granny Branche Coal Company has paid two quarterly dividends within nine months is evidence of the service which the Robert T. Bess Co. is offering to the public. We therefore advise that all persons who are desirous to grasp this opportunity with the great possibilities, should do so NOW. The directors have already announced last month that only those who are on record on December 31st will be entitled to the April dividend, but they have allowed one month's grace up to January 31st. We suggest that you get in touch today with the Robert T. Bess Co., at 2295 Seventh Ave., by personal call, letter or telephone to Morningside 9161.—(Advt.)

Leaders in Eastern Colored Baseball League Hold Meeting in Philadelphia
Preparations Being Made by Club Owners for Their Biggest Season—Umpire Situation Receives Undivided Attention of the Commissioners—Early Start
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24.—The Commissioners of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs gathered at the Y. M. C. A., 1734 Christian street. Philadelphia, Saturday, Jan. 24. The meeting was the first held since the joint session of the two leagues in Chicago and was attended by a full quota of the governing body. The Washington Potomacs were represented by Geo. W. Robinson; Brooklyn Royal Giants by Nat C. Strong; Bacharach Giants by Charles B. Johnson and Wm. Weeks; Baltimore Black Sox by Chas. P. Spedden; Cuban Stars by Alex Pontpez; Lincoln Giants by Jas. J. Keenan; Harrisburg Giants by C. W. Struthers, and the Hildale Club by Edw. Bolden. Chairman Bolden opened up the matter of drafting a schedule for the coming season and, since the task of effecting a balanced layout that will meet the approval of all league clubs is one of the most weighty problems that the Commissioners have to solve, it was deemed advisable to get an early start. Geo. W. Robinson, Nat. Strong, Jim Keenan, Charlie Spedden and Ed. Bolden will meet Feb. 14 and tackle the job of drawing up a temporary schedule to be ratified at a later meeting of the Commission.
We have been patiently waiting for the word telling us unmerged Gibson's New Dunbar Theatre opened in a blaze of glory with a dramatic stock company presenting plays uplifting and inducing Philadelphia's Faithful to turn out in large numbers to the beautiful house erected by the colored Quality Amusement Corporation under E. C. C. Brown, and which was bought by the one and only John T. But nary a word has come forth. Last heard from the City of Brotherly Love negotiations were going on which led many to believe that the "Demi-Virgin" would be the attraction at the Dunbar hero start a season of unusual dramatic offerings. Personally we feel that the Dunbar is Philadelphia's "White Elephant," although owned and controlled by black men. Gibson's pensilvable is that he must find out why the house is such and efficient use the methods that would induce the colored people of stomachadelphia to show their appreciation of the philanthropy which maintains such a splendid house for them. Mi-ndy Tattler told us a few weeks ago that Manager Jesse Dunson had discussed publicity plans with her for the Dunbar. We knew at the time that Mirandy was simply taking advantage of the opportunity to show her friends how good she stood with Dunson while a brother of the craft was on the outs with the Gibson interests, but after Dunson had spent the greater part of the same evening with the outcast brother we knew that the Dunbar would remain on the same rocks of uncertainty.

Lenox Sport Club to Give Colored Fighters Chance
Lenox Sport Club to Give Colored Fighters Chance
Negotiations Under Way to Secure Al Brown, Larry Estridge and Tiger Flowers for Early Appearance.
We have it from what we consider the best authority that the uptown Lenox Sporting Club will within the next few days open negotiations looking towards securing a number of good colored fighters to appear at the club in the New Star Casino on Lexington avenue and north street.
Lovers of the tistic art who have been looking with regret on a policy which seemed to deny our boys a chance to show their wares will welcome this interesting bit of information. We hope that when these fighters appear our people will show their appreciation by helping to jam the Lenox Club as they have done at other clubs where the colored muttmen of unusual calibre have been given a chance. We understand that among the first batch of fighters such well-known pugilists as Larry Estridge, Al Brown and Tiger Flowers will show their wares. The knockout suffered by Flowers at the hands of Jack Delaney has not lessened his popularity, and the fact that he is billed to meet Paul Herlenbach at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 26 enhances his value as a box of office attraction.
It is no secret that the winner of the Herlenbach-Flowers fight will be rematched with Delaney. The Canadian defeated both of these men and it will be a race to see which one is deserving of the chance to prove to the world at large that they suffered a fluke knockout.
With the Lenox Club falling in line we consider it our duty to meet them half way and ask for the support which should be theirs. Any club willing to show the true spirit of the game by giving us a chance is deserving of our support and that it should come at a time like this after we had some strong things to say of the same club, shows that there must be some men trying to do the right thing when it is pointed out by those who us trying in our way to keep faith with our readers.
Tattler Girls Trim The Gibraltar Five
June Byrd the Outstanding Star in Contest at New Manhattan Casino.
The Tattler Girls' basketball team defeated the strong Gibraltar Girls at Manhattan Casino last Wednesday evening by the score of 16 to 10, in a hard and bitterly contested game, before a fair size crowd.
Little June Byrd, star forward of the victors, played a brilliant game, scoring four field baskets, which accounted for half of her team's points. She was easily the outstanding star, and her spectacular and bravity playing made a hit with the fans.
June, little tired, sleepyplayed June, proved a lower of strength to the fast, hard playing Tattler quintet. Little Lilly lyrical moved with the speed and grace of a frightened deer, and cleverly arranged her opponents as she maneuvered into a position to shoot at the basket. Although defeated, the Gilbertina Girls played a hard, fast game, in fact, a better passing game than did the Tattler Girls. But the Tattler forwards proved better shots for in addition to June's shooting, captain Sarah Pollard scored three field baskets, making a total of 10.
Commonwealth Has Fine Card for Saturday Night
"Santy Claus" to Again Meet Rocco, While Bobby Risdon Will Face Billy Fitzsimmons Powell Meeting Horrolou.
Stanislaus Loyaza, Chile's meteorical puncher, who has jumped into the limelight as the foremost battler among those coming from the South, who has won all his three engagements since coming here, is getting in shape for his ten-round scrimmage, with Johnny Rocco of New Rochelle, which heads the weekly show at the Commonwealth Sporting Club, in Harlem, on Saturday night.
Loyaza a few weeks ago jumped in on a few hours' notice and whipped Rocco, to the great surprise of the crowd. The New Rochelle Idol has been asking for another chance at his conqueror ever since and Loyaza will face him this time at the junior lightweight limit, 120 pounds. Only the other night, in Yankers, Loyaza stopped Billy Levine in two rounds. Stainless joins up on the pugitistic horizon as a dangerous foeman for Champion Kid Sullivan. Plenty of action is also expected in the two remaining tens. Bobby Risdon of Harlem, who knocked out George Doherty last week, will face rugged Billy Fitzsimons of Yonkers, while Yyes Horrolon, the hard-biting Frenchman, stacks up against Willie Powell, of Harlem. The card is the best thus far booked for the "House of Action" this year.
Doherty No Match for the Hard Hitting Risdon
Colored Lad Beats Frankie Jerome's Brother with Stiff Lefts and Rights.
Matchmaker Jess McMahon stood in the rear of his Commonwealth Sport Club last Saturday evening and gaced out on a sea of eager faces that must have brought a feeling of rare satisfaction to him to again note the success of his efforts to give the fans a real run for their coin of the realm.
The occasion was another fistic card that bristled with action and which brought a big surprise to the fans when little Georgie Doherty was knocked out in the third round by Bobby Risdon. While many expected that Risdon would win, they did not think that the crack little white fighter would succumb so early, but from the first round Risdon had it written all over the late Frankie Jerome's brother that it would be curtains early in the fray for Georgie.
It was a bumper house that witnessed the bouts. We did not see the opening four, but the six, with two promising youngsters, furnished plenty of excitement, and from then on the evening was being well spent by a great number of fans, and badly spent by another great number who saw their favorite hit the canvas for the full count, and another favorite losing and on the wrong end of the dope, which had him an easy winner.
We speak of the Leonard-Drew encounter. Johnny Drew taught a heedy fight and had Johnny Leonard swinging like the proverbial gate and absorbing some right-hand smashes to the jaw which would have sent the average fighter to the mat, and copping the decision at the end of a fight which found Drew winning almost every round.
Clarke Anderson, the youngster from Cleveland, white not coasting
points for the Tattler forwards. The other two points were the result of two successfully cared fors. Lillian Ibanao played brilliantly for Gibraltar Club. The two teams will meet again some time next month.
SEASON'S BEST GAMES
of being a sensational fighter,
gives promise of rounding out into
a mighty good mittman here, for he
took liberties with Irving Shapiro
after being pounded about the body
by the hard going little Jew, that
earned him a draw at the end of
their 12-round encounter.
Shapiro confined his attack to
the body and sent in enough crushers
to satisfy the most exacting,
but Anderson did not finch,
although at sea in the clinches, and
he shot lefts to Irving's face that
had his head bobbing constantly
and occasional rights that did not
make Irving feel that the evening
was all his. In spite of Anderson's
good showing if we had it to do we
would have given Shapiro the fight,
but the learned judges called it
a draw and down on the record she
goes as a draw.
Bobby Risdon must have had an urgent engagement to fill elsewhere. As soon as the bell started him against Georgie Doherty he started lefts and rights into Doherty that soon had the white boy all wooxy. Connecting solidly once or twice Risdon had Doherty on the way to a knockout, but the white had weathered the storm and Doherty was only saved by the bell. In the third Doherty was again subjected to a battery of lefts and rights that few could stand up under. They came fast and furious and both hands carried dynamite. Under the circumstances he was forced to capitulate and under a shower of blows he went down, beaten to a finish. Johnny Drew had the sympathy of the crowd, as many thought he was simply another victim being fed to Allentown Johnny Leonard.
He fooled them all by staging a fight which left Leonard all at sea. He made the Allentown boy miss repeatedly and peppered him with annoying lefts that made the crowd happy. It was a case of a boxer making the most of an opportunity against a fighter and hearing the fighter to it every time and coping a most popular decision.

Hampton Institute Basketball Players Climbing Towards Collegiate Champs
Beats Virginia Union University and Runs Her String to Five Consecutive Victories—Coach Harvey's Five Has Great Potential Power.
By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR.
HAMPTON, Vn., Jan. 24.—Hampton went into field-goal scoring with a profusion and a certainty which put her ahead of Union at the final run by a comfortable margin. Union lost, 45 to 22, and the Seasiders ran their string of consecutive victories to live, climbing one step nearer the intercollegiate championship by hurling back the most dangerous court team she has encountered this season.
The teams had alternate scoring rallies which had them whirling over the court like streaks of color in a dancing spectrum, and hundreds of spectators enjoyed the flashing two tone spectacle during these spurs. For some reason, however, neither Humpton nor Union could refrain from personal contact which drew fouls. This slowed up the game at times and prevented either team from continuing for any length of time with its full strength, or with the same combination.
Union Secures Lead.
The game went first one way, then the other for awhile. Union, with a well-executed assortment of ball-advancing formations, went into an early lead. Possessing speed, and cutting in for the basket in bewildering fashion, the Panthers drew Hampton into fouling and took the lead on free-throws. With an array of passes from short stabs to long reaches, Union had four points before the local quint had any. A free-throw by Smith, a free-throw and a field-goal by Gardner accounted for this early lead. Hampton called a halt. The sight of four hostile points aroused the Seasiders to one of the best rallies of a sometimes slow game. Captain Jones called time and impressed upon the seemingly overconfident minds of his teammates the importance of closing up the gap. The Seasiders responded, and, in a brief space of time, the Hampton plays were going with a rip and
rush. The Hamptonians, led in the offense by the deadly accurate Hargrove, then swept into the lead, never to be headed. McNichols Scores for Hampton. With the score 4-0 against the Seasiders. McNichols dropped in a free-throw. Hargrove followed with two free-throws and a goal-field to send Hampton into the lead with the score 5-4. The Seasiders' latent abilities were being forced into the ascendance. McNichols followed with a great shot. From this point Hampton was never in real danger, despite the fact that before the game was well under way two of her best players were forced out on fouls.
In the first half Hampton seemed careless and overconfident. This may have caused the constant fouling. Union was equally unable to stop fouling, but for what reason it is not known. Under the extremely technical rules this season, teams find it difficult at times to save themselves from the stigma of fouls.
The shooting of Hargrove, the guarding of Jones, and the passing of Lambright stood out in the first half for Hampton, Gardner, Jackson, Smith and Palmer were Union's high lights in this half. The score for the first period of play was 19-3 in favor of Hampton.
In the second half the score continued to increase. Union spurted now and then, to draw up a little, but under the guarding of Thatcher, who replaced Langston and Jones Union was held down. The Panthers clashed with a better team, but it took all Coach Williams' five had at times to down

Coach Harvey's five, a team of tremendous potential power. Had it not been for Hampton's dazzling scoring rally in the first half, continued in the last half, she might have taken the dust of defeat. Union's Good Offense.
The Union Panthers are the first aggregation that has scored more than 13 points on the invincible local five. Today, by her steady fire directed at the basket, Union garnered 22 points and smashed Hampton's hope of holding opponents to a scant, unlucky 13 points. Led in their attack by their formidable center, Gardner, the Panthers pawed and clawed in their fight to gain a victory. At the final count, however, they were trailing by 23 points. This was Union's first defeat by an Association team.
Hargrove Scores 22 Points.
With nine field-goals and four free-throws, Hargrove came through with high-point honors with a total of 22 as his share. Gardner, the opposing center, was second high-point man, with nine points. E. E. Brown, Hampton, and Smith of Union, tied for third place honors, with six points each. Thorne, Thatcher with three points, Baker with two, Wiggins with one, McNichols with three, Lambright with three, Captain Jones with five, and Renfrow were creditable in their work. Williams, Brooks and Jackson were also outstanding for Union. Hampton plays Virginia Seminary on January 31.

New Manhattan Sport Club Will Offer Big Bill with Bogash Meeting Halbran
New Club Which Is on Record as Being Willing to Give Colored Fighters a Square Deal Will Eventually Get Support of Colored Fans.
The new Manhattan Sport Club will again make a bid for popular support when the doors are thrown open to the public. While there are many colored fans voicing a regret at not seeing the name of any colored fighters on the cards at certain other clubs, we have the word of the promoters that we are to receive the same considerations as in the past, and which is seen in the colored fighters to appear tomorrow night. Lou Bogash, the rough, tough Bridgeport middleweight, who meets Chief Halbran in the ten-round wind-up at Manhattan Casino Thursday night, has the distinction of having fought five world's champions during his career—Jack Britton, Mickey Walker, Mike O'Dowd, Mike McTigue and Harry Greb. He was awarded the decision over Walker in Boston, and received the newspaper verdict over Greb in Newark. His battle with Britton in Bridgeport was declared a draw. So were his bouts with O'Dowd and McTigue here in New York, although both of these decisions were of the disputed variety. Bogash apparently having a decisive advantage over both Mikes.
Although the Bridgeporter is ruling favorite in Thursday night's battle with Halbran, quite a few of the "shurpshooters" are looking for the Indian to upset the dept. Last week, in New Bedford, Bogus was awarded a decidedly questionable decision over Halbran, the reporters at the ringside declaring that the Chief should have been declared the winner. Halbran swears that this time he'll knock Bogus out, so there will be no chance of another verdict going astray.
Matchmaker Sam Walsh has modeled a working good card to predece the main event. In two of the four six-rounders, Tex O'Rourke will not cut his young British heavyweights, Les Price and Billy Prestige. Price will meet Smiling Bill Nolan, while Prestige will be asked to face Arthur Smith, Nolan and Smith are tough, experienced rinkers, and may be depended upon to put the young Britshers to photoshop test.
George Landen, the only Finnish boxer in the business, will meet Sid Hurt, and George LaRocca will trade wallops with Boofer Lowling in the other two wives, while Harry Pillan, middlesex champion of Turkey, will make a Americanibot against Dan Gargi.
Tames Panthers
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., JUN. 12. In a hectic struggle, which in the score 3-22 does not indicate the Y. M. A. deflected the crack Panthers of Philadelphia at Waltz Dream. Friday night. It was a great victory for the local as the game was played on the open court and all conditions were equal.
With Chambers' starring on the defense, and Campbell and Yaney shooting from all angles the Panthers led as the first half ended. McLean went to forward to begin the second half, and the Y kept playing away still trailing. McLean tossed in two from the field and Told replaced Saunders for the Y and a barrage of field goals sent the Y in the lead. Chambers was forced out on four personal fouls and the Panther defense crumbled. Told, McLean and Green running wild, in the last four minutes of play piling up the 10 point lead.
The visitors showed fair accuracy shooting from the field, with Campbell starring. McLean and Todd starred for the Y with Green close up. The short sloppy passing game to advance the ball right up to the basket before shooting was used to advantage by the seahorse boys. The many fouls which this cutting game drew were used to advantage by the localist. Christopher of New York plays Friday night.

BASKETBALL CONTINUES TO DRAW WELL Manhattan S. C. Starts Again Tomorrow Night
"Hello Bills" Leading Way to Madison Square Garden
Stage All Set for One of the Season's Biggest Affairs at Fistic Arena Tomorrow.
Everything will be set aside tomorrow night to give McTee Monarch, Manhattan Lodge of Elks No. 45, full sway when they start for Madison Square Garden to stage what will most likely turn out to be the season's biggest affair in the amusement world.
With banners flying, bands playing, and a mighty host shouting they will invade the fictive arena of Tex Rickard and for one night at least a mighty throng will be in the garden not brought thither by the promise of the performance of two Kings of Swat but by one of the most popular organizations in Greater New York today.
Recognizing the importance of the occasion the entertainment committee made plans to look after the comfort of each and every on-verning the garden, to say nothing of seeing to it that every mother's son enjoys an unusually big time before the early morning hours recall the early morning city of reunion various points from where the will journey to speed the evening with Mt-Ta Monoch. It will be a real old fashioned "Hot Time in The Old Town" when the boys get started.
Vandals Graduate;
Defeat New York Legion
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Jan. 11.
—The Vandals won their first game of the season Thursday night at Fitzgerald's Auditorium, when they defeated the American Legion five of New York, 34-24.
The first half of the contest was of the tip and tack variety, ending with the Vandals on the heavy end, 17-16. Harrigan was troublesome for the Vandals and Forbes was a whale on the defense.
In the second half, Stanfield gave way to Jackson at center, Babe Brown came in at guard. This combination walked away from the visitors. Jackson getting the tapp-off from Yates and Brown and Howard running wild, led to the final whistle. The visitors were a revelation at the long distance shooting game, but were ended on the defense in the second half. Bill Howard was the bright scintillating star, in shooting and defense.

Dean of Dancing Masters to Establish at Elks Hall
Prof. Charles H. Anderson to Open Select Saturday Night Class Commencing Feb. 21
We met Professor Charles H. Anderson one night last week and during the course of conversation he cased us the information that it is his intention to open a Saturday night dancing class at the beautiful auditorium of Imperial Lodge of Elks on Feb. 21. "And," said the ever genial professor and friend, "when the time is ripe I will drop around to let you know, so that I can place an 'ad' with you and you'll let the world know what I am doing."
These few lines will be a big surprise to Charlie, as we wondered within ourselves why it should be necessary to wait until he got ready to do business before we would initiate a few lines that would perhaps inform his many friends who he will be located.
Of all the men in the amusement world we know of few who have done more to encourage the Negro newspaper man Charlie Anderson, in the keyway of his success as a famous master, reaching back to the late 1800s downtown, he was never too welcome colored newspapermen or never did he lack funds to put into the advertising columns of the colored newspapers.
His ever gentleness demenom and courtesy to all those with whom he was brought into contact made him a figure in the amusement world, and it was only the late World's War that brought him to that place where it became hard shielding in his particular line of business. Anderson always tried to meet the very best among at his classes, and he always decried and while he always held himself in check there were times when he could be exceedingly firm.
He nover shirked debts and met his obligations with a smile that showed the honesty of purpose in everything he attempted. We gave him the kind of welcome that can be given to those we know he deserving, and the dire necessity for an apo-tode class prompts the adviser, the exacting that Charlie will begin to tempt to meet their wants, to be engaged John U. Smith to furnish the music for his Saturday classes and this should add to the attraction of his affairs.
No, Charles, it is not necessary for you to unlearn the strings of your money bags to get the recognition of which you are so fully deserving. If these few lines will do anything to help you in your new effort a cap them with the feeling that you have in the past lived up to the true tenets of the word MVN, and so hope to bring home the realization that you can still still find friendships which you made and cultured over the days as a dating master and friendships of which we are hoping you will have good reason to feel proud.
Gullible sport writers on our sundown sheets allowed their dreams to be disturbed by nightmares superinduced by thinking that Howard University and Lincoln University would not meet on the football field next Fall It is to laugh. It would take more than a calamity to prevent these teams from meeting right through here, for nobody builds up a following of over fifteen thousand and allows that following to get away from them. We say nobody, but with the reservation that this does not include basketball managers in Greater New York, who by their cupidity allowed THEIR FOLLOWING to get away from them. As George S. Schuyler, of the Messenger Magazine, would put it: Are the authorities at Howard and Lincoln Universities going to deny the strivers the opportunity to say that they were at "The Classic"? Are they going to deny the wearers of the bell bottom trousers who hang out on the corner of 135th street and Seventh avenue during the warm months the opportunity of inventing new tales for the benefit of their landlades? Are they going to deny such characters as they who blossomed forth in the "Yellow Peril" the opportunity to furnish the coats and other things that make up the wardrobe of a goodly part of that monster gathering? Are they going to allow a great big howl to go up from thousands of throats looking forward to the one big opportunity of the year? THEY ARE NOT.
Literary Expressions Encouraged by Clubs
WASHINGTON, D. C. Announcement of the annual competition for membership in The Stylus, the most important literary and art society at Howard University, has just been made by the Serfie. The Stylus was organized some years ago at the university, under the sponsorship of Dr. Alain LeRoy Locke, of the University of Notre Dame, Professor T. Monologue Gregory, then of the Department of English, but now Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools, Atlantic City, N. J.
While at the Commonwealth Sport Club last Saturday night we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Robert Lowenthal, one of the owners or interested parties in the New Star Casino. Mr. Lowenthal, while fully agreeing with our stand in behalf of the colored fighters where the uptown Lenox Sport Club is concerned, felt that an injustice was done those running the casino. Well, we have never found it any trouble to hasten to right even an imaginary wrong or do justice to those whom we might inadvertently offend. We welcome the information that those running the New Star Casino are in no way responsible for the Lenox Club, for after all is said and done, these people have tried to give us our money's worth at the popular little casino, where so many of our affairs are being staged. Knowing that other casinos which have catered and are catering to our people had something to do with the fight clubs holding forth at these same places, we felt that the same thing obtained where the New Star was concerned. However, the entire matter has been adjusted to the satisfaction of all concerned as will be seen in another part of the sporting pages in today's paper. The Lenox Club is on record as being willing to give our boys a play and now that an understanding seems to have been reached and an "entente cordiale" exists between the colored people and the gentlemen downtown, they will find us on the front lines full of enthusiasm in their behalf. We feel that we have a friend at court in the person of Mr. Rosenthal, for while he has nothing to do with the running of the fight club, a word from him in behalf of the good colored fighters will no doubt go a long way in cementing friendy relations between the club and our people—relations which we have found so fruitful with Jess McMahon, of the Commonwealth Sport Club
Its purpose is "to encourage original literary expression among students of the College of Liberal Arts of Howard University, with an especial view to the stimulation and development of productive authorship within the race and for the furtherance of the same, the bringing together of persons able and willing to cooperate for this end." Membership in the Stylus is attained by students of the university through submitting original productions of poetry, short stories, essays, paintings or drawings to a board of critics composed of faculty and other members of the Stylus, who nominate persons for membership on the basis of the competitive value of the original production
Among the faculty and graduate members of the Styrian are: Dr. A. L. Locke, W. Stuart Nelson, Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, Missen Jennie Muscat, Dorothy Pelham, Elaine Brown, Ophelia Davidson, Messrs. Nathan O. Goodlee, Campbell C. Johnson and Norman L. Michee. Among the student members are: Misses Estelle Brown, Myrle Henry, Messrs. Walter W. Goens, Bernard Walton and others.

Renaissance Big Five in Demand by Leading Teams
SPORT—THEATRICAL ...And Other Comment...
A correspondent in the New York World one day last week tried to show Heywood Broun where he (Heywood) was related to a well-known English author of the early days, and Heywood writes interestingly on one of his ancestors.
Big Contests Will Take Local Players Right Into New Jersey After Meeting Best Here by Feb. 14th.
He tells us that Heywood of the past was cursed with a terrible ego which induced him to place a picture of himself at the commencement of every chapter of a book of seventy-seven chapters which the Englishman wrote. We are now wondering if there is any comparison with the case of one of our sport writers who has a picture of himself ON HIS PERSONAL CARDS.
Captain Hilton Stoxum and his fast going bunch of players on the team known far and wide as the Renaissance Big Five are in great demand these days and getting the cream of games as befitting an outfit that put up the kind of game the Big Five did against the world beating Celtics.
Which reminds us that the other night Manager Burt, of the Lafayette Theatre, was the first to volunteer to a fund to purchase a typewriter and employ a stenographer for one of the brethren of our cult who sits in a prominent position in a box at the Lafayette Theatre and can be seen making notes on the show and looking around from time to time to make sure that he is being seen by both performers and audience. This would be a departure that the writer in question would no doubt welcome as he could dictate to the stenog and have her write his stuff in full view of the audience at the same time. WILL Mx. BURT GO A STEP FURTHER AND ALLOW THE SPOTLIGHT TO PLAY ON THE WRITER? THANKS.
Last Saturday night, the boys just overwhelmed the Fordham Catholic Five at the home court here. The white boys did not have a chance with the Douglas men and the captain of the Fordhams admitted at the end of the game that they were up against the toughest combination of basketball players they have met so far this season.
Jimmie Fultz, former Czar of Newark, surrounded by an imposing bodyguard, arrived from his principality to pay his respects to the All Highest one evening last week, and Jim was full of smiles. It would seem that Jim, ably assisted by those same gentlemen who formed the bodyguard, is preparing an event for Newark that will wake even the somnolent mosquito which goes into retirement during the Winter months. From what we could gather of Jim's plans we see no need in hesitating to warn the Royal Chancellor that big deings are casting their early shadows to the fore and the Royal Chariot will be brought from cover to make the trip to the Newarks. A bevy of prancing beauties from one of Broadway's imposing Palaces of Mirth are in those plans being laid by Jim and where the beauties gather so must royalty, which even includes Richard the Third, better known as J. Richard.
Captain Slocum and his men asked for no quarter and gave none. They set a hard pace and kept the victors on the 50 all during the contest. It was a walk-away for the colored players, and at the conclusion of the battle the score was 14:17 in favor of the Renaissance
Meet Bronx Boys Saturday. The coming Saturday night the Renafiance will hook up with the Bronx Professionals, the team which long ago passed the word that they carry what it takes to the colored boys. The re-marketing record piled up by the local players will be to be the lure which will bring the glory to the Bronx seeking the glory of loving the first to stop our boys in their own ballpark.
"Pappy" Ricks, the bounding "Jersey Kangaroo," is now in harness with the Renaissance Big Five, and "Pappy" is running true to form, keeping up the reputation which induced a brilliant miniflair.com's own home town to dub him with a name indicative of proclivities which have kept many a basketball manager on end an entire season. "Pappy," on Friday night, journeyed to Philadelphia with the Grand Central Red Caps to do battle unto the bold Panthers, who, by the way, failed to stop the Caps who went to Philadelphia heavily charged and led by "Strangler" Forbes. We hope that the Panthers will not protest the playing of "Pappy" on the Renaissance team if "Bob" Douglas decides to bring the Philadelphiaians here to meet in the promised game—the game which the Panthers claim they are looking forward to as the return engagement after the Renaissance played them in Philadelphia.
As in the past, Captain Slocum will have something to say about being stopped and fans are promised quite a hectic encounter when those two teams meet at the Resistance Casino. The game will start with the casual time and followers are asked to secure points of vantage early, so as not to miss anything.
Faced Soldiers on Feb. 3.
Tuesday night. Feb. 3. Bob Dongus will lead his boys to the 9th Coast Artillery Armory to face the famous Armory Five in what should be one of the biggest and best seasons. The soldier players have been watching with a great deal of interest the activities of the colored team and they have prepared a great program of welcome for them.
Aside from trying to stop them in the Armory, the Armory Five have arranged for splendid music by their own regimental band and the musicians, sharing the spirit of the occasion, will furnish their share in making the night a big one at the Armory.
Colored fans will find a warm welcome awaiting them, and the price of admission will be 65 cents for males and 40 cents for females, which is an invitation to all the followers of the Renaissance to journey to the Armory to cheer their own boys in this big game. The first game will start at 8:30 and the big game of the night at 9:20. Hank O'Day, Willie Banks, Cooley, Stonebush and Dreyfuss, all be big league men, will be seen in action against the Renaissance.
Dr. Arthur Smythe has been advising the followers of basketball all New Jersey to be present at the Titan Auditorium in Orange N.J. on the night of Feb. 6, as the crack Renaissance Big Five will be making their first appearance at this place against the Perth Amboy Big Five on the above night.
Followers of the game of basketball in New Jersey need no introduction at our hands of the Perth Amboy Five. These white players came over here in the days of the Commonwealth and made history by hanging it heavy on some of our best players.
They have been in strict training for this game for the past few weeks and is their intention to go out win early. They recognize the importance of a victory over the crack colored organization of basketball players and they are leaving no stone unturned in trying to retain the honors of the Mosquito State.
As will be seen by reading this account of the activities of the Renaissance Big Five. Bob Douglas has succeeded in arranging some of the biggest and best games for his team and up to Feb. 14 when they return to New Jersey the boys will be kept on the go.
Eckles Recital
Blanche Smith-Eckles, soprano, and her husband, John H. Eckles, tenor, will appear in a joint recital in the Wadleigh High School Auditorium Thursday evening of this week.
Virgin Island Cong.
Council Affair Jan. 29
Big Dance and Reception to Take Place at Renaissance Casino Thursday Night.
A printer's error again brings us to the fore calling the attention of those who read the account of the coming big dance and reception of the Virgin Island Congressional Council in our last issue to the date, which is the 29th (tomorrow) and not the 19th as appeared in the last issue.
As we have oftimes said, the organization is one fully deserving of the patronage of the public in general. For it has pointed the way in its charitable work, and the wedge that every one of print takers in will go to some deserving brother or sister should give those attending the affair a sense of satisfaction seldom felt in attending amusement affairs of this kind.
The entertainment committee will again prove that their designation as such by the other members of the organization will furnish no cause for regret, for no stone will be left unturned in making the affair one that will measure up to what they have done in the past; even attempting to surpass what has been accomplished in their previous efforts.
Casper Holstein is in for another big night, for nothing seems to give him so much pleasure as to see the folks enjoying themselves and the knowledge that his organization stands behind him to a man in quietly working for the betterment of the fortunate. Success, my brothers, and more power to you.
Hail the Club of Twenty
The Club of Twenty, noted for its annual gala New Year celebration at the Alpha Physical Club House during the past few years, has begun the year 1925 by going into permanent organization. Its members, all of whom are in the employ of the government, propose to form a new company to hire employees and other friends for social and charitable causes.

Griffin; secretary George D. Murphy; treasurer, David J. Wilson; chaplain, Chas. Johnson; sergeant-at-arms, Nell Moltke; chairman membership committee, Robert I. Tinkler. If one is to judge by the outcome of their election, everything is peaceful and harmonious in this body. Each incumbent was elected by unanimous vote and all voiced a willingness to work and make the Club of Twenty the leading light among government employees clubs in the city. Aside from those elected to office, the following comprise the clubs membership: Joseph Blake, Lowell W., Cox, BenJ. T. Burns, Ted Hooks, Lawrence Hunt, George D. Johnson, Leonard A.

Fenderson Heading Notable Cast in Another Farce at 7th Avenue House
Another of Avery Hopwood's Laughing and Sensational Broadway Offerings to Entertain Harlemites All Next Week.
Following the intention of the management of the Lafayette Theatre to give patrons only the choicest morsels from the markets of the Land of Make-Believe, they purpose on next Monday to present another one of Avery Hopwood's laughing and sensational French farces, even more startling in its story and situations than its predecessor that appeared so recently at the Lafayette—"The Demi-Virim," by the same author—known far and wide as "Getting Gertie's Garter."
In the "Garter" Mr. Hopwood was assisted by another world's celebrity in dramatic construction, and especially farce comedy—Wilson Collison, who wrote another of Broadway's big successes, "Up in Mabel's Room." and the joint efforts of such brilliant writers should prove entertaining to the most plase theatregoer.
The piece has been carefully cast and while the cast is not a large one, numerically, it consists of the most capable of the coterie of colored artists and is to be headed byilonz Fenderson, than whom no more appropriate selection could possibly have been made. Mr. Fenderson is well known for his masterly interpretation of "Chickle" Belden in "The Demil-Virgin" and the intelligent, artistic performance he gave of that role stamps him as an artist of rare judgment and ability.
"The Garter" is another of those highly entertaining comedies built along the line of French farce, and when that is said it may be taken for granted that both story and situations are filled to overflowing with rare and racy material—material that makes you sit up and take notice, and experiences that thrill and produce an entire new crop of goose-flesh and cause a better-skater chase up and down your spinal column that revives youth in all its adolescent exuberance.
The story of "The Garter," as right be assumed from the title, yets with a missing garter and the scruining feminine limb, that it was processed to encircle. It is violent mental that the garter be they to its proper owner and thus is the as possible to prevent its absence would be
Seen in history, mow is positively one of the unmistakest at the same time broadened in essence ever attested on the stage. As one man said who claimed to have seen the play seven times, "it is positively the most laugh provoking story I ever saw portrayed by men and women in the theatre."

will be given. The regular prices

letter just received from Miss

from the young ladies in Billy
Pierce's Brown Skinned Revue
which left here in September to
entertain at the Moulin Rouge,
Paris, France, brings us the
information that everything is lovely
with the colored girls now nightly
entertaining in the French capital.
We have it from the young ladies
of the revue that the white girls
who were forced to leave the Moulin
Rouge when they drew the
color line, had a hard time of it as
the French people gave them the
cold shoulder after learning the
reason for the fuss they tried to create
Some of the olays had their trunks held up at one of the hotels where they had established themselves and immediately started to run up a big bill which they were unable to meet when the men responsible for the entertainment at the Moulin Rouge told them to get out.
Miss Maitland states that she is making plans which will continue the girls under her charge in the good graces of the French people, who have shown them great courtesy and consideration. Friends on this side desirous of getting in touch with the members of the revue can write to them at 52 Boulevard de Clichy, co Moulin Rouge, Paris, France.
"GERTIE'S GARTER" AT THE LAFAYETTE Revue and Feature Films at Lincoln Theatre
Leonard Harper and Big Revue at New Lincoln
"North of 36," Feature Film Offering, Which Contains Thrills of Early Pioneer Days.
Leonard Harper and the big revue from Connie's Inn are the entertainers at the new Lincoln Theatre this week. The show got off to a big start. In conjunction with the feature film, patrons of the Lincoln are enjoying an unusually splendid bill. The journey of Columbus across the Atlantic in 1492 required no more courage than the trip made by the pioneers of the South in their attempt to establish a definite trail between Texas and the railroads in Kansas.
The first caravan traveling from the Gulf of Mexico to northern United States faced fearful odds—indians, Carpet-baggers, floods, fire, wild animals, and many more obstacles described in Emerson Hough's historical novel, "North of 36," which Irvin Willat produced in picture form for Paramount. Like Columbus, the first caravan had no guide save the compass and stars. Nobody had ever been over the trail before. Those who had attempted never returned to tell the tale. What happened, nobody ever knew. In "North of 36," the first journey from the South to the North is told upon the screen scene for scene as it actually occurred 61 years ago. Nothing has been left out, nothing added. The true story of the hardships and suffering of the brave band was so thrilling that it required no change to achieve the supreme in drama.
Prominent in the cast of "North of 50" are Jack Holt, Ernest Torrence, Lois Wilson, the "Covered Wagon" girl, and Noah Beery.
The picture opens a four days' run at the Lincoln Theatre tomorrow.
"Alabam Revue" to Make European Trip in April
Attorney Lyons, who is occupying a prominent position in the annual life of Broadway today, has yet completed plans which show that a number of colored performers will again come in for their share of recognition. Mr. Lyons last week announced that his recent activities had borne fruit and on April 1 the present edition of the "Alabama" Fantasies "entertaining nightly at the "Club Alabama" and during a successful two weeks the conga Saturday at the Lafayette Theatre, will leave for Europe.
Principal and chorus to continue at the "Club Alabama" during the absence of the present revue will be employed and another opportunity will be opened to talent seeking to earn a good livelihood without the necessity of traveling.

Three Joymakers Will Direct Dance February 13th. Bringing Harmonists Who Entertained Prince of Wales to Combat Popularity of Roseland Artists at New Star Casino.
Recently a great controversy has been heard round about Harlem regarding the relative merits of the two foremost colored musical organizations in the world today. Many old-timers, with a natural leaning towards "Happy" Rhone, because of the many good times they remember when his band was the one, and only one heard of, will not give in that this masterful leader and his twenty harmonists, who were thought well enough of to entertain the Prince of Wales, on his trip to this country, have any superiors in this or any other face; while the youngsters, some of course, who never had an opportunity to hear Rhode's orchestra in "The Good Old Days" cannot be convinced that Fletcher Henderson and His Roseland Orchestra have an equal anywhere in the land.
The opportunity for a popular vote as "Who Is Who" will be given the many followers of both orchestras, for in a gala affair to when it came to refined jazz he held under the direction of the Three Joymakers on Friday evening. February 18 at New Star Car. the king of England's O. K.

vote as "Who Is Who" will be given the many followers of both orchestras, for in a gala affair to be held under the direction of the Three Joymakers on Friday evening, February 15, at New Star Casino, those two premiere dance orchestras will pursue the music for the evening and the organization receiving the top applause in the aggregate, no one particular number counting, we have to be loved upon as "Jazz Kings."
The writer makes no attempt to judge which of the two will win, too having heard both, he still desires to hear both some more.
Either Henderson's registration of having measured up with the greatest accuracy in the landlord included Paul Whitman, Inc., Paul Specht, Ben Bancio and Vincent Lopez, both he and his men as being a truly great musical artist, but it is clearly understood that those who entertained the Prince of Wales were not looking for any
This dance is sure to arouse great interest in and around the metropolis, and many old-timers will come out to root for their old favorite "Happy" themselves. That it is to be under the direction of "The Three Joymakers," which includes Gane Rhodes, O'Savior Deatize and Andrew Boyd, speaks well for the conduct of the dance as these clever young men have become famous in the dance world for their splendid handling of large crowds, the while preserving perfect order.
There is every reason to believe that the multitude who are sure to saarpay to New Star Casino to hear this musical combat on February 13 will be happy at having been there.

Miss Abbie Mitchell Out of the 'Alabam Fantasies
Place Taken by Miss Zachary
—Show Continues to Please
—Others Added to Revue.
'Miss Abbie Mitchell, who was advertised to appear with the "Alabam' Fantasies" at the Lafayette Theatre and who appeared in only one number on the opening night, is no longer with the production, which means that she is also out of the "Club Alabam."
thur S. Lyons, the producer of the show, now meeting with so much success at the Lafayette, he maintained that Miss Mitchell must have been very much mistaken in the attitude he took regarding the rehearsing of numbers. Mr. Lyons stated that the other members of the company did not seem to experience any trouble getting to the theatre and going through their rehearsals, and he thought it very strange that Miss Mitchell was the only one in the entire company to assume the position she did on the opening night of the show in Harlem. There are many who feel that Miss Mitchell is making a mistake.

as she will now be forced to withdraw. We have it on the best authority that she was billed to appear in Washington one night last week and under these circumstances a question arises as to whether this had anything to do with the diva's action on Monday night, Jan. 19.
Miss Jesse Zachary has taken the place of Miss Mitchell, which was also held down to splendid advantage by Blanche Thompson last week. Other additions to the show include Cowan, formerly of the team of Thompson and Cowan. Personally we are inclined to the opinion that Arthur Lyons is going out of his way to help his colored entertainers make good and a little appreciation on the part of those inclined to be somewhat "unstagey" would do them a great deal of good.
If we but look at the matter in the right light I think that many of us will find that we have more to lose than a man identified with big things on the big White Way. Think it over and see if this isn't so.

Dean Lucy Slowe Addresses Club
Prospective Deans of Women at Columbia University Listen Attentively.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Dean of Women at Howard University, Washington, D. C. made a plea before the women who are training to become deans or women under the direction of Dr. Sarah Sturgevant of Teachers' College, Columbia University, or better race relationships between colored and white college women of this country. Dean Slowe contended that only through the process of investigation, curiosity and open-mindedness could white and colored people learn to know each other. Prejudice can be dissipated by turning to light of knowledge upon those who suffer from it, as well as upon those who misuse it.
Dean Slows said further that the colleges of the country should be places where students of all races would come together for the purpose of discovering that which is good in members of different racial groups, in order that misunderstandings, due to ignorance, might not arise. She condemned the policy of excluding from an educational institution any person solely on the grounds of race.
"A college should be one place in any country where individual worth and mental capacity would be the conditions of admission and not racial identity," said Dean Slows. "The world has a right to expect an educational institution to live up to its housed principle of liberality and nationalism." she continued.
Dean Slows is President of the National Association of Colleges College Women.

Of Interest to Parents
Cold, cold Manhattan—the Isle of Ice! From Harlem, past the canons of Wall St., on down to the Battery, it is dubbed "the hard bolted town" where no one knows his neighbor.
Poets sing of its haughty grandeur and superior smugness. They liken it to a pearceck, vain, strutting and forever preening its wings.
And yet—
Tuesday morning of last week found New York battling with a 5 inch storm, flare, soft flakes whirling, swirling through the air. The thoroughfares were blocked, high steps and steps covered with snow. It was a regular old-fashioned snow storm.
A resolute little twelve-year-old, not feeling too well, bravely installed that he was alright and started out to the Junior High School. In time to lead his classes and carry the "attendance sheet." He had almost reached his old friend, the newspaper dealer at 15th St. and 7th Ave., where he had intended resting and then returning home, unable to plough on through the storm.
But he could not make it that far. He sank exhausted on the crates of one of the private houses near the office of The Amsterdam News. There was no surging crowd. Only a man loudly engaged in cleaning off the snow. When he saw the plight of the Little fellow, he dropped his shirt, rushed to the hay, asked his name and address, hailed a passing taxi, paid the chauffeur and sent the little sick man home.
Asgar as he was concerned "that was that." But little Carlo Mayhew's mother resulted from that kindness of a total stranger to her boy that behind 7th Ave. mask of sophistication is a little of that "Love thy neighbor as thyself" doctrine. We of 7th Ave. are merely gifted

Negro Education Forges
Ahead in State of Virginia
W. D. Gresham Speaks at Hampton Institute on Educational Problems of 225,000 Colored Boys and Girls.
BY WM. ANTHONY AERY.
HAMPTON, Va., Jan. 26.
—W. D. Gresham of Richmond. State Supervisor of Negro Education, spoke at a general assembly of Hampton Institute workers and students, which was held in Ogden Hall, on "Some Problems of Negro Education in Virginia."
In 1920, according to Mr. Gresham, Virginia had approximately 225,000 colored children of school age (7 to 20 years). Of this number there were enrolled in the public schools last year 157,413. The average attendance was 110,799, about 70 per cent. In Virginia there are 3,572 colored teachers, of whom 3,400 are women and only 472 are men. In Virginia there are 1,945 school buildings for colored children, with 3,514 rooms and an average of 44 pupils per room.
There are still in Virginia 1,272 one-teacher colored schools and 466 two-teacher schools. The movement is toward consolidating these small schools and building 3, 4, 5 and 6-room schools. The average length of term in all colored schools is 141 days or 7.5 months. There are no counties with a shorter term than 5 months and there are only two counties in the State where the term is just five months.
COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOLS.
During the present school year there are in Virginia for colored boys and girls 31 county training schools and 11 teachers. Eighteen of these schools have 10 months; one has a term of 10 months, and 22 have terms of eight months each. The curriculum of these schools is 6,845 (3,001 boys and 3,844 girls).
While these schools do not yet rank as high schools there is one county training school which is about to qualify as an accredited four-year high school. This is the Virginia Randolph School. In it there are 100 miles out of Richmond. One of the county training schools is a junior high school. It is located at Hartnorrburg, in Rockingham County.
220 ROSEWALD SCHOOLS.
Julius Rosenwald, a Chicago millionaire, during the recent years has given about $250,000 for the building of rural colored schools throughout the 14 Southern States. This year $10,000 are being spent in Virginia for this type of school. Up to Jan. 1. Mr. Rosenwald had built a school for 2,000 schools for colored children. North Virginia ranks first with 400 Rosenwald schools. Virginia ranks fifth with 220 schools. This year's program in Virginia calls for about 45 schools.
The Rosenwald school in Virginia, which have cost over $550,000, have been paid for as follows: colored people have given $25,250 or 27 per cent; Rosenwald Fund, $111,000 or 16 per cent; the white people, $15,508, a little over 1 per cent, and local funds, $460,503 or 58 per cent.
Last year 2,642 colored teachers attended the four Virginia Summer schools, including Hampton Institute.
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS
Mr. Gresham outlined the following educational needs for Negroes; better schools facilities; longer terms; better buildings; more high schools; another State normal school, and, above everything else, more and better teachers.
Mr. Gresham said that there were five needs of the colored people: Negroes, Negroes committed leadership, more faith and trust in one another; greater recognition of the true value of team work; appreciation and use of the activities which they already love, and a realization of the true value of education.
"What we all need, white and colored alike," said Mr. Gresham, "is a greater interest in one another and in the other. We should not judge a person by the way he is a few hundred miles. There are people who are not
high the light and let it shine into
the dark places where there is
ignorance and gloom and sorrow."
Interracial Forces Active in Kentucky
Big State Conference Held in Louisville-Moton
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 26—The fifth annual State Intercultural Conference, held in this city in December, went on record with a vigorous recommendation that Negroes be given "a fair share of civic advantages maintained by taxation or controlled by law, such as parks, swimming pools, libraries, hospitals and penal institutions, and consisting of both groups be appointed in each city to suitably apear before the proper authorities to urge such provisions."
The conference gave large attention to the need of more adequate facilities for Negro education, recommending the enactment of a law to equalize school advantages, and asking that an "A grade" colored teachers' college be established. The conference pledged itself also to work for the establishment of a state institution for feeble minded children, endorsed the movement to establish hospitals to the practice of Negro physicians and nurses, and recommended that the study of Negro history and achievement be made a part of the public school course.
The meeting was attended by some two hundred professional, educational and civic leaders from over the state, the two races being about equally represented. Many able speeches were delivered on education, health, public utilities, the ballot and other timely subjects, the furthest frankness being encouraged with regard to conditions and attitudes. The principal address was that of Dr. R. H. Moton, head of Tuskegee Institute, who made a powerful plea for justice and friendliness before a mixed group that filled one of the large galleries of churches in Kentucky. He was given a most appreciative hearing. In his annual report, Dr. James Bond, director of the work in Kentucky, expressed the conviction that conditions and attitudes are steadily improving in the State, in spite of occasional apparent backsets.

If Skin Breaks Out and Itches Apply Sulphur
Just the moment you apply Menthol-Sulphur to an itching, burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and begins, says a noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation makes fine a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to dery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take its place. Because of its germ destroying properties it quickly subsides the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of only eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wait for improvement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Rowles Menthol-Sulphur at any drug store.

indicated by the exactness, with which the time of the eclipse could be foretold, that nothing should come between us and God as did the moon between the sun and the earth and that Christ the sun of righteousness could not be eclipsed by any other as His is the name above every name.
At the evening hour he gave a strong sermon on Saul of Tarsus, christ's best interpreter. After sketching the career of the Apothecary to the Gentiles, he drew three points from his life: his vision, emancipation and service through his fellowship with Christ.

Child Labor
By ALICE PARK
Child labor does not mean selling newspapers after school nor working a few hours on holidays. It means tolling long hours at machines in factories, slaving in fields, excessive tasks at low wages. It means also no time for school, play or healthy growth. Every state now has full power to make its own laws regarding child labor. There are good laws and bad ones, and five states with no restrictions at all. All children need protection, but the children of these five states need it most of all. The 1920 census said that 1,080,528 children are working. But this counts only those 15 years old. Thousands of children less than 10 years old are at work. Children less than six years old, working all day long, are discovered from time to time by investigators of the National Child Labor Committee.
At the same time, while more than a million children are working, far more than a million men and women are unemployed. Setting the children free will be good for the children, but it will also force men and women who are now able. Even the people who live in states which have many good laws against child labor, and which force the laws they have, use goods produced in all the states. So all people in all the states are using articles produced in part by child labor.
All honor to the states which have such high standard in protecting their children from child labor. It is time now for the nation to act and to protect all the children.

Veterans of three wars, the deeds of valor, feats of fortitude, unparalleled courage and incomparable spirit of patriotism of this organization of black men have rendered their country a service and devotion, the record of which is not surpassed, if equalled, by any military unit which has ever been in the service of the United States. Born of the spirit of Crispus Attucks and recruited from the sons of ex-slaves and successfully dominated by the best minds that the black race has produced, its record in answer to three calls to war is one of the most inspiring stories of devotion, bravery and service in the history of the United States, and will ever stand as a testimonial to the black people of this country, establishing beyond perseverance of a dork that black men can successfully and efficiently or

Early History
Scarcely had the embers of the fires of that bitter war of the Rebellion cooled when black men of Illinois conceived the idea of having a body of fighting men, commanded by black officers. This desire gradually took shape and eventuated in a military organization which bore the name of "The Hannibal Guard's." This unit was duly formed shortly after the great fire of 1871 and for a time was popular, but gave way to another body, more progressive and which assumed the name of "The soldier." This offspring of the Hannibal Guard's was composed of men who had formerly belonged to other armed guards.

Regular drills in military formations brought the cadets up to a point of efficiency orring into its ranks fresh brains and a large number of recruits. The visions of this organization broadened, their ambitions soared and soon the "Cadets" gave way to a bigger organization, which bore the name of "The Old Sixteenth." This was in the early eighties.
Join State Militia
The leading spirits of this newly formed and reorganized body possessed the energy and sufficient political influence to effect the admission of "The Old Sixteenth" into the State Militia, but after a few years the state legislature could not or would not further appropriate funds for the support on the

Dear Sister, I shall never forget the Sunday at noon you smiled so sweetly and fell asleep in my arms.

at the Harlem second Seventh Day
unfathil Church. 106105 West 122th street.
Before launching out into the bow of his sermon, Factor Strachan had a few words to say about the eclipse of the sun; also the Einstein theory of relativity. He explained the constitution of the modern scientists over the question of space and the vision we got of things there.
Then, as he went on in his discourse, the pastor said: "I saw the total eclipse of the sun; it was indeed inspirits, and a sight which many of us will ever forget. I listen, friends, by the aid of the most powerful telescope trained upon the constellation of Ophiom in the January skies, you will be privileged to see a wonder that will far surpass the glory of a total eclipse."
Said the pastor, further, "I wish I could take you to the world's greatest telescope at Walt Disney Park, Wisconsin, and see you a peep through that powerful instrument into the dome above. You would see a sight that is beyond the extreme limit of your imagination—the rebulla of triumph. "Here the eye gazes in sluggish amazement upon a vast canyon, passage walls, or corridor of spider, whose walls are webs and sprays and filaments of light, whose floor are decorated with carpets of diamonds, flasking and sparkling with the most fascinating hues.
"The diameter of this gorgeous but jawning abyss in the sky will permit a world as big as the one we live on to pass down through it without tching the side. Together, two of given masses of the most beautiful light store at you. Irregular pillars and columns in glittering saloon light before you."
"The pen of a writer, the brush of an artist, are inert in any attempt whatever to tilt describe the interior of this maumont case in the heavens. At the farther end of this resplendent subway lies the Eternal City and the throne of the Infinite."

What the Harlem Branch of the Y.M.C.A.Is Doing in Harlem
The year 1324 was for the West 125th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A one of its most successful periods. The splendid showing of the various departments is represented in the figures of the statistical report and represents an increase along all lines of endeavor. The West 125th Street Branch leads all the other large branches in the country among colored men in attendance at religious meetings and Bible classes.
For the second year in succession, the branch closed the period with all current bills paid, with a slight surplus. In 1923 the branch was able to pay off an accumulated indebtedness on current work which accumulated in first years of operation in the new building. This has been done in connection with the many improvements that have taken place on the inside. Hundreds of dollars have been spent in both alterations and the building has been redecorated on the inside.
The Committee of Management this year is going out to raise $100. This is more than ever has been secured in any campaign conducted by any race branch in New York City, even more than was secured in any one of the many building campaigns. Various teams have been organized to work in the community and at the M. C. A. dinner which was held at the Commodore Hotel on last Tuesday, January 21st.
The following representatives were present: Messrs. A. T. Anderson, W. H. A. Austin, Alan L. Dingle, E. A. Johnson, Rev. R. M. Bolden, H. C. Bishop, John E. Naff, Henry C. Parker, Harry H. Pace, John H. Naff, Walter W. Scott, Snowden Williams, W. D. Simmons, Aaron C. Deming, Albert A. Jacks, Frederick H. Townsend, Rev

Third Victor Presentation Brings World-Famous Artists.
The third, "Victor Presentation" which will be given through Stations WEAP, New York; WCAP, Washington; WJAR, Providence; WFI, Philadelphia; WDBH, Worcester; WIIR, Buffalo; WCAE, Pittsburgh, and WEEI, Boston, from 9 to 10 P.M. on Thursday, Jan. 21, bring to the vast radio audience another program that will appeal to the lover of music of the highest type.
Miguel Plota, famous young tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Company, will be heard in several sections, among which is included the beautiful "La Donna a Mobile" from "Ringgletto" by Verdi.
The career of Lucy Isabelle Marsh, well-known concert lyric soprano, who will also be heard on this program. Is another demonstration of what may be accomplished by an American girl under an American teacher. No one who listens to her faithless singing can but feel gratification that both pupil and teacher are native born. She was a pupil of the late John Walter Hall, of New York.
Miss Marsh's voice is a lyric soprano of educational beauty and its exquisite purity smoothness and flexibility are delightful to hear. Last, but not least, in the list of world famous artists of the Victor Talking Machine Company to appear before the microphone in the studios of WEAF, New York, are the Flonzalley Quartet, probably the world's greatest exponents of chamber music.
The Plonkaye Quartet is an organization devoted exclusively to playing this type of music. It was formed in 1929 by K. J. De Coppet, an American music lover, and named after his wife's villa on Lake Goune. This quartet, however, has long maintained an independent existence and is famous in American musical circles for its devotion to its artistic ideals and the perfection of its achievements.
The players who form the quartet are Adelio Bott, first violin; Alfred Pochon, second; Louis Faillie, violin and Ian A. Chambers, cello. The quartet forms its members not to play in orchestra or even solo so as to preserve the perfect unity of effort for which it is famous.
Since the death of Mr. De Coppet in 1916, his place as a patron has been taken by his son, Mr. Andrew De Coppet.
Following it is the entire hour program to be used during the third Victor presentation.

P. appealed to President Wilson in 1914, and the latter sentence was commenced to 20 years, making him eligible for the parole which has now been granted.

Reporting the transfer of the remaining 29 Houston Martyrs from Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary to the Military Prison, Warden Biddle wrote to the N. A. A. C. P. reporting that the conduct of the men had been good to the end of their terms. His letter, dated Jan. 17 and addressed to James Welden Johnson, is as follows:
"Dear Sir. The society of which you are Secretary has shown a very friendly interest in the former Twenty-fourth Infantry soldiers known as the Houston Rioters, and this is to inform you that all of the remainder of those prisoners were removed from this United States Civil Penitentiary to the Disciplinary Barracks, the Military Prison, at Port Leavenworth, yesterday.
"Of the original number of sixty-seven Houston rioter prisoners sent here all but twenty-nine have been released, either on parole, pardon, or by death. These twenty-nine were taken over to the Disciplinary Barracks, along with fifty-four other military prisoners, yesterday.
"The conduct of these prisoners remained good to the end with us and I feel sure that they will obey the rules and conduct themselves in a proper manner at the Military Prison. The conditions here were so crowded that it was found necessary to remove these military prisoners to the Diaphrimal Barracks.
"I am enclosing a copy of the Leavenworth Times of January 14th telling about the transfer of
these military prisoners and also some information about them that may be of interest to you.
The Leavenworth Times, sent by
Warden Biddle, tells of the exemplary
conduct of the Houston martyrs,
and states that in 1921 Warden

V. I. Editor
Takes Appeal
Masses Aroused to Action
Over Trial Without Jury
of Rothschild Francis —
Supported Here in Stand.
(Special to The Amsterdam News)
ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands, Jan. 24. An appeal from the decision of the District Court of the Virgin Islands of the United States, sentencing Rothschild Francis, editor of "The Emancipator," to thirty days' imprisonment, on a charge of criminal libel, tried WITHOUT JURY, has been filed.
An interesting feature of the trial was the sitting on the bench, on the left-hand side of Judge Washington Williams, himself a Maryland and an obliterate enemy of Rothschild Francis, of Mr. Hamilton Owen, editor of "The Baltimore Sun." There is a question in the mind of the people as to whether this is a departure from the regular and prescribed court procedure.
The temper of the people has been arrested by this last action of the "powers that be," and concrete action for a New Organic Act is now on foot, with a view to make a change of the present un-American system of government. A delegation may be sent to Congress for this purpose.
Efforts on behalf of Francis will also be made by the N. A. A. C. P. and by the Associated Virgin Is.

The following statement on the case was issued today by the Civil Liberties Union; "Rotherhill Children was tried and found guilty by a man whom he has opposed as hostile to the welfare of the Virgin Islands. In reply to criticism by Francis appearing in the New York Times 'Current' History Magazine, Washington Williams when Government Attorney and Police Judge of the Virgin Islands, published an article in the January 26, 1924, issue of the St. Thomas Mall Notes attacking Francis as the 'loudest-mouthed howler on the subject of the freedom of the press' and a 'calamity-howler and publicity-seeker.'
"On July 7, 1924, Francis published in the Emancipator two protests against the appointment of Williams to his present post of district judge. One protest was advised to President Coolidge by the Associated Virgin Islands. Societies of New York, the other to Governor Phillip Williams by the Civil Liberties Union, specifically warning that the feeling between Williams and the inhabitants of the islands has been so notorious, bitter that they fear he would use his new post to settle old scores.
"Articles criticising the naval administration appeared in the Emancipator in August and September. Attempts to punish Frames were made several times unsuccessfully. Government Attorney Charles H. Gibson, who fled the present indictment, the attained Frames with a black suit following charges of election irregularities appearing in the Emancipator on September 22nd and 23rd. "Under these conditions it is a travesty on justice for Judge Williams to try Frames without a jury. The article for which Francis was indicted is purely political. His conviction by a political fool is a dangerous form of press censorship."

With a single purpose in view he succeeded in passing a resolution which created a vacancy in the State minita and caused an appropriation for this unit. The Ninth battalion then made its second application for admission and Gov. John P. Nigel, who was favorable to the whole plan, ordered its abatement. The battalion was then recruited to the full strength and mastered in as the Eighth Illinois Volunteer Regiment, after it had for a while been attached to the First Illinois Resident.
5th Makes History
The successful joint of a fight for recognition of the willingness to save state and country was not won without a struggle and those men who stood out manfully fighting without ever leaving their position or foraging the ideal which had endangered those patriotic law who dreamed a dream of a block regiment commanded by black men. After the first step was taken in making history by the Eighth, Fourth, Sixth and the Spanish American War broke in, With the call for volunteers, the English citizen to serve the country offered its services, to be met only with the tragic burrow of American propaganda, and Governor Tanner went to the defense of the men of the Eighth and caused it to be made a regiment and provided that the entire regiment, from colonized to private be black men. Recruitment and indignation of Negro history had full way but the Eighth had made many islands and when the second call for volunteers came, governor Tanner offered in his quota the Eighth.
Marshall Made Col.
Having been ordered to master a fall regiment recruiting want on with energy and before long the regiment was fall strength, and gave way to the question as to who was to be placed in command White men, seeing this to be a special opportunity, became contenders for the command, while Major John R. Marshall, the late Col. Charles Young, then major of a battalion in Ohio, and John C. Thacker were the leading contenders for the post. John R. Marshall won out and became the first command of a regiment of black men with a complete officer personnel. This was the writing of the first page of the glorious history of this now world-famous fighting machine.
Off to Cuba
After the regiment was ordered to camp and had been there waiting and hoping to get a chance to carry their color standards to fame and glory. On August 1, 1858, word came to break camp and set out for Cuba to replace the regiments and the volunteer regiments which had won the day in Cuba. Overcrowding all of the barriers of prejudice, the regiment set sail on the staff of Col. Marshall were Lieut Col. James H. Johnson, Robert R. Jackson, major of Second Battalion; Franklin A. Dennison, major of Third Battalion; Harvey A. Thompson, Adjutant James S. Nelson, Recimental Quartermaster Dr. E. A. Wealy, surgeon, and William J. Burrell, chief musician. Among the list of officers could be numbered many of Chicago's most prominent men-men who to-day stand in the high places. Space will not permit mention of all of these men who, each in his way, contributed to the record of achievement of the Eighth white in Cuba.
The Eighth in Cuba
When the Eighth reached Cuba on August 16, they pitched their tent for their first night's rest in an old Spanish graveyard. Arriving in Santiago—and there the son of the historian again began to write the deed of black soldiers in the service of the United States of America. By comparison, from every angle, the Eighth measured head and shoulders above the other black soldiers from the United States who were in Cuba. Discipline, drill mastery, sanitation and efficiency of officers stand as a record. Every task assigned to them and in the various branches with the Citizens, officers and men showed a high not expected in a volunteer organization. A book could be written on the many accomplishments of this body of men in the fight against a partly sued enemy and the ever present malarial fever, with which its task to the extent of eighteen men, On March 11 the Eighth left the Cuban sources and arrived in the States on the 16th of the same month and Chicago a few days later welcomed her heroess, who had served well and with honor and, with the ministering out of United States volunteer services, the first chapter of the history of the Eighth came to a close.
The New Eighth
Finished with a victorious war record, the returned veteran was anxious to keep the regiment at a unit, and Kol. Marshall. No, the leader that he was not only succeeded in doing it, but began his compass, for an army who would (tightly) house the regiment which had brought honor to the State of Illinois. When the World's Fair took place in St. Louis, the Eighth went, and there showed to visitors from all over the world what a regiment of black men could do. His trip was made earlier, breaking down a prejudice which demanded that the Eighth be Jim Crowed. Kol. Marshall fused this demand and the event caused the resumption of a white officer who inspired the segregation and prospection. This set a precedent which was passed on as a legacy to the organization.
On their return the fight for an army was resumed, and after securing a sit on Welsh promise the present site on Giles avenue was insight and through the efforts of Col. Marshall the Legislature and plotted elsewhere for the building of an army. This was the result of a long and hard fight against many forces which did not want a black regiment to get such a monument. The efforts were defeated and the appropriation went through, assuring the Eighth a permanent home.

the organization to-day combines some of the old spirit which was born in the days of the early beginnings. Colonel Dennison, without missing stop, fell in line of his duties with characteristic vigor and soon a beautiful edifice reared itself on Forest avenue (now Giles avenue), at 57th street, and was dedicated in the Spring of 1914 and, with this celebration, welded the Eighth once more a link in the chain of affections of Chicago and the State of Illinois. Col. Dennison inked with the regiment, giving it a discipline and efficiency which put it on a modern military basis. Nothing was too good for the Eighth, and Col. Dennison saw to it that the Eighth got all that was good for it.
On Mexican Border
Again the hand of Fate moved and the trouble on the Mexican border called the Eighth into war, and with full strength it left, with colors flying to defend the flag and the country's interest. The record of the Eighth or the Mexican border was one which brought praise from the War Department, who chanced to see these black men in battle or in camp. The discipline which Col. Dennison had established put to shame many white regiments, and when the regiment returned from this service they had added another splenel chapter to their record for efficiency service and valor. Hardy had this chapter closed when the World War opened, and with America's entry into the conflict Dennison began preparing for the time when the colors of the Eighth would be again flying in the breeze while black soldiers marched in battle line for the story of the stars and stripes. The war clouds burst and America was in battle. Again the fight came up to prevent the Eighth participating as a cell unit with black officers. In military circles the Eighth were the storm center, but Col. Dennison, with friends at its back, wore out, and again the Eighth Regiment won over prejudice the right to fight for the country. Answering the call of the President, in July of 1917, the Eighth Resignation, under command of Col. Dennison, reported at its various rendezvous in the State.
Eighth in World War
With the entrance of the Eighth in the World War was the beginning of the writing of the most glorious chapter in its entire history. Little did the officers and men know that they were about to embark on one of the most historic expeditions ever engaged in by black men. Though much of the officers knew what was expected of them and knew that they would give their best, they did not know that they would make such a glowing record which now is the precious memory of a great nation. When the different units had assembled they set out for the concentration camp at Camp Logan, Houston, Tex. Here, while going through intensive training for the trenches over the glorious Old Eighth kept the high mark which had brought it the fame and glory in the past. Thousands in Texas sold men to these black men in khakis as they left for the East. On December 1, 1917, the official designation of the regiment became "The Sixth Infantry," but this change was in name only for noth-

ing could change the spirit of these men who have lighted a way which only the brave may follow. In the last part of December the 370th was assigned to the 431 Division, and shortly afterwards trained at Camp Stuart, soon embarking for France. After an uneventful journey the regiment arrived in Brest, France, on April 22, 1918, ready to fight to the last ditch in the service of the country and for the cause of democracy.
Eighth Begin Fight
From the time the regiment set foot on French soil to the time of embarkation for home, the gloriously Eighth made history. Changing all of their American equipment for French equipment, the regiment started training again according to the French methods. On June 11, 1915, the regiment started for the front line trenches where they began to make one of the greatest fights ever made by black men in the history of any nation. Brigaded with the French, the Eighth won immediately the respect and admiration of the highest French officers. They took their position in the St. Michael sector, where no casualties occurred

Liquor Bottle Drops to Floor of Court
Liquor Bottle Drops to Floor of Court
(Preston News Service)
NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 26. Just as the jury in the case of Julia Rohr charged with selling liquor, was filing out to the jury room in Federal Court here Monday, there was a dull tudl and, lying in the wake of the jury on the soft carpet was a half pint of liquor.
S. C. Burgess, a general prohibition agent, won over half a dozen other attaches and officials in a live for the battle.
"Where did this come from?" Judge Groner demanded.
Burgess explained he found it on the floor.
"Did one of the jurors drop this?" the Court asked.
Nobody knew. Before anything happened the jury reported back with a verifié of guilty and the incident was closed.
FIREMEN SAVE AGED
WOMAN FROM FLAMES
- (Froston News Service)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25—Mrs. Jennie Robinson, aged 70 years, sick and alone on the upper floor of the burning house of George L. Johnson, was carried to safety Thursday morning down the flaming stairway on the side of the house.
Mrs. Robinson getting out of bed was attempting to extinguish the fire when Fireman Schmidt reached her. She received severe burns about her face and hands. She was treated by a physician.
The fire was started when the three-year-old son of the tenant, Johnson, used a lighted match to find some clothes in the closet on the lower floor. He ran away and screamed when the fire started, but it had made considerable headway when the firemen arrived.

A Review of the Influence of the Negro Church on Our Group
By R. R. WRIGHT, Jr., Ph.D.

The invitation to write an article on "The Negro Church and the Negro Masses" comes at such a late and busy hour that I am sure I cannot do the subject justice. For there is no institution of a voluntary nature that reaches the Negro masses as does the church, and none is more effective than the Negro church. By the Negro church, I mean those denominations of Negro Christians which are supported and governed entirely or chiefly by Negroes themselves.
There are about twelve million Negroes in this country. While about two million go to schools, over five million are members of the church, and in all probability twice that number attend the church. While about 30,000 Negroes are engaged in the teaching profession, there are about 20,000 preachers who are reaching the Negro masses. If the Negro church were as careful in noting the "attendance" as are some social agencies, the "attendance" would far exceed 350,000,000 per year. It is no exaggeration to say that the attendance at all of the services of the Negro church in one week is more than 8,000,000 or two-thirds of the entire Negro population; and that at least 400,000 individual Negroes go to church at least once per week. The Negro church in its reach of the masses has but one rival in all Christendom, and that is the Roman Catholic Church. For it is stated as a fact that the Negro church has a larger proportion of the laboring masses in its membership and attendance than any other Protestant church.
This is because the Negro church represents the soul of the Negro. There are 200,000 people counting the mini-masses as nothing else does. Were there no Negro church, the chances are the Negroes would be but little in racial education. It has been the inspiration of thousands of young ent organized.
Negro Church First to Enter Protest Against Discrimination
test Against Discrimination.
But there is a history to this. The Negro died a protest against the organized Christian Church in 1857 when Richard Allen and Abalom Jones walked out of St. George's Methodist Church in Philadelphia, because of what they believed to be racial discrimination. They organized, respectively, the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and the African Protestant Episcopal Church of St. Thomas. Thus in his religion the Negro first organized a protest against nonfederal opposition of a number of individual members of the separate demonstration of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was formed and Richard Allen made its first Bishop. To day it has members all over the Negro world—in every state, almost every county in the Union, in Canada, West Indies, West and South Africa, South America, Mexico and elsewhere and has 20 Bishops. In 1820 the African Methodist Zion Church was formed and it has almost as large territory and membership, with twelve Bishops, in 1850 the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church was formed, and now has ten Bishops. During more than a hundred years independent Negro Baptists have grown to nearly 4 million membership. They, like the Methodists, have held aloft the doctrine of manhood in Christ and refused to preach that any of God's family should take a lower place than any others.
Today there are more than 45,000 Negro churches in America. They are found in nearly every community in the country where Negroes reside. It was my privilege to check up on the census of Negro churches in a large Southern state. I personally visited more than a hundred communities and touched more than a thousand churches. Later I attempted to make a map of the churches of one denomination alone in that state, and found that there was no community which did not have its church, and many communities had several different denominations. The most remote lumber and turpentine camp, as well as the thriving city is reached by the Negro church. Few indeed are the older communities that have no Negro church or mission.
Church, Moat Thorough Organization
The Methodist organizations with more than 40 Bishops, 500 presiding elders or district superintendents, more than 20,000 pastors, more than 50,000 school leaders and 100,000 Sunday school superintendents, officers and teachers, and a half million other church officers and assistants, is a stupendous organization. Add to these the Laptist organization (which while not as compact and efficient), is even larger and honeycombs the country, and you see how the Negro church reaches the masses. Nearly every day in the year the Negro church somewhere is teaching the masses, And it is reaching not the educated few but the great group of illiterate as well. It goes where the school does not go. And it is often the only uplifting light, however dim which many of the suffering masses have had.
Church Expresses Negro Hope and
Aspiration.
The Negro church is the result of the religious expression of Negroes. It is supported by Negroes. They pay more than $40,000 a year into their churches, and their preachers, who can preach the asylum as they want it preached, are well paid. In his church, the Negro has the greatest freedom of expression—a freedom such as he has nowhere else. Because the church represents his soul's longing. It is his and he loves it and the proof that he loves it is that he supports it. This love for his church has been discounted and langued at by those who have not read its deeper meaning, but the world is beginning to recognize its value.
Church Great Economic Power.

I mean those deans which are supported and for Negroes themselves. In million Negroes in this country, two schools, over five million are in all probability twice that while about 30,000 Negroes are mission, there are about 50,000 the Negro masses. If the Nemoting the "attendance" as are attendance" would far exceed an exaggeration to say that the masses of the Negro church in one or two-thirds of the entire Nearest 400,000 individual Neone per week. The Negro masses has but one rival in all Roman Catholic Church. For Negro church has a larger proin its membership and attendat church
200,000 people counting the ministers and their families. The Negro church has done a wonderful work in racial education. It has been the inspiration of thousands of young people who would not otherwise have looked upward. The Negro church has endeavored with the printed as well as the spoken word to reach and to inspire the masses. The oldest Negro newspaper in the country is that founded by a Negro church more than fifteen years before the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect. The oldest Negro magazines are published by the Negro church. The oldest and largest Negro publishing houses, and for many years almost the only publishing houses conducted by Negroes, are conducted by the Negro church, and today the output of the church publishing houses in books and pamphlets is larger than the combined product of all other publishing houses of the race. The books which the Negro masses use are largely the publications sold by the agents of these publishing houses.
Negro Church and Education. Similarly the Negro church was a pioneer in Negro education, and today Witberforce University, founded before Negroes were emancipated in the South, ranks as one of the largest and host institutions of the race. Lymbeths College by the A. M. E. Zion Church, Roger Williams by the Baptists, Lane College by the C. M. E. Church, one other, and scores of other institutions conducted by the Negro churches, financed and controlled by Negroes, are a partial answer of how the Negro churches reach the masses. Were it not for these and other church schools conducted by the Presbyterians, Congregationalists, the Episcopalian Catholics, and others, there would be but little education for Negroes beyond the elementary grades in many parts of the South.
The Negro church is not as ignorant as some outside of it would make believe. Some of the most learned as well as some of the most intelligent leaders the Negroes have are their ministers. I believe the only Negro in America with a Ph.D. from a German university is the president of a purely Negro university, and the son of a Negro Bishop, while the only editor of a Negro weekly journal who holds a Ph.D. from a German university, and who has had the advantage of foreign study in the editor of a Negro church paper. When you consider how the Negro church must cater to the masses you must be astonished at how high an estimate it has put up on education.
The Negro church has been foremost in individual initiative and community co-operation. The first co-operative thing the average Negro community was asked to do was to build a church. Not only have thousands of Negroos gotten religious training, but business training as well in the church to buy, build, collect funds, pay interest, vote, hold offices, hold community meetings, etc.
Money to Church for Uplift Not Wasted.
Negroes have spent millions in church edifices. It is true they have also spent many more millions in saloons, but the largest community surplus the Negroes have any where is that represented by church property. The best buildings they have are their churches and schools. The economic discipline the Negro had to undergo to amass this $100,000,000 worth of church property has been one of the most important factors in the race's progress. When you consider that the Negro has spent more money for pleasure than for churches, more money for delivery than for churches, and see what he has in every city and the country large for his church contributions, you must be convinced that the church has been a wonderful constructive economic factor as well as religious factor.
The Nero church with such a hold on the masses naturally is powerful. Its power in political, industrial, finance, etc., has been demonstrated. This has naturally excited the jealousy of some Negroes not directly connected with the church and in mistaken real they have often antagonised it.
has been attacked more velocily than the church. None has been held up to ridicule more. Naturally the preachers in the churches were first political as well as religious leaders. They were the first business leaders, etc. But with increasing education there have grown up specialties in the law, medicine, politics, finance, etc. Many of these have felt it necessary to combat the church's leadership in order to establish their own. Moreover secular organizations have felt it necessary to combat the church in order to get a place for itself. This has created hard feeling in some places. However, the most farsighted leaders of the church welcome the time when the church can take less active part in politics, finance, etc. and desist its great energies to the spiritual and moral problems of the race.
White Philanthropy Ignorant of Church.
Because the Negro church caters to the Negro masses, and not particularly to white philanthropy, the philanthropy of the country does not know the value of the Negro church, and many well meaning people misinterpret it. Because the Negro church expresses as does nothing else the Negro mind, those who are Negro souls and the Negro point of view depreciate it. But if we are to have democracy we must know the soul of the Negro masses as well as other masses.
The leaders of the Negro church are remarkably efficient. They stand as leaders by popular choice because they serve their masses. The Negro church leaders have no political or governmental backing financially. They are chosen by the people and hold their leadership at the pleasure of the people who willingly pay them. This is what the Negro newspaper, the Negro business man and others among them succeed with Negroes. Among them is a self-suffering, unorthodox, some unorthodox, which is to be expected in a great army of workers, such as the church has but on the whole it is not possible to find a higher type of men and women than these conserved in the work of the Lord.
Pioneer in Race Ideals
Pioneer in Race Ideals.
The Negro church has been the pioneer of race ideals. Nearly 20 years before Booker Washington was born the Negro church made a notable effort to start a manual training school, and five years before Booker Washington was born the Negro church started a church. The church has been many years training the adult masses of the race to assimilate the education of the fortunate few. Nearly every prominent Negro musician, artist, actor, or literary man got his early opportunities in the Negro church. Tanner, the son of an African Methodist Bishop, taught in a church school to get money to go to Paris, and the religious note is the chief thing in his painting. DuBois taught at Wilberforce when he left Harvard; and Rosamond Johnson got his first lift from the Florida Baptist Academy.
The Negro church has been the real leader in forward movements. Before Marcus Garvey was born the Negro church in America had planted missions in Africa. The Negro church has been the forum for Negro social economic agitation. When the white laborer could not discuss his labor problems from the white church pulpit every Sunday the Negro's social problems were discussed from the Negro pulpit. He has formed to interpret his Bible from his point of view. Those who do not think deeply misinterpret much of the Negro's preaching of today because he refuses to be Anglo-Saxonized and because the Negro masses refuse to permit him to become so. They call it ignorance because the Negro masses will not hear an Anglo-Saxonized theology, and Anglo-Saxons have to pay those Negroes who do preach such a theology, for the Negroes will not pay for it. Preaching to Negroes is one profession in which Negroes get their own patronage because they excel all competitors in the kind of service they give. Perhaps the only line of work where it can be truthfully said that the Negro is superior to the white man is in his preaching to Negroes.
Those who have studied Negroes superciliously, and only from an Anglo-Saxon point of view think this is because of ignorance only. Their grandfathers thought "Steal Away," "Swing Low," "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray, Drop River! Ignorant, ignorant, ignorant of a slave people. They could not see the deep meaning of those old time songs. But as in his songs in the days of slavery, so in his preaching in this day, the

Negro is guided by a deep spiritual emotion which God alone bestows and man cannot fathom.
Instead of being reactionary, the Negro church is progressive. It was the Negro church that preached opportunity for the Negro doctor and lawyer and now bogs the Negro masses to support Negro business. It is the Negro church which takes the initiative in many forward movements for the race. It furnishes a forum for any cause that is good. A catalogue of progressive movements staged in Negro churches and supported by them would fill several pages.
The Negro church, as some of our modernists today say, will not lead the masses atray. It is both progressive and conservative. Its theology is simple, and may be expressed tims; There is but one God and Jesus Christ is His Son and our Redeemer; believe in Him and be saved. God is no respecter of persons, but will award every man according to his character; the good will go to God, the bad will fall, the hell therefore be good. He true to your race, although earthly differences of race, nation, etc., are only temporary. God is above every thing, even the white man.
Now whether the Negro is a Baptist or Methodist or what not, that is his theology. Belief in God is strong. The value of this in social control may be illustrated by the expression of an old Negro in South Carolina when talking about the hardships of his race. He said, "Dr. We might get so mad sometimes that if I didn't believe in God I so fire to every house in the country with the poison in every well. But I believe in God, I am and I believe he is a just God." What that belief is to the safety of America on the wisest philoopher cannot tell.
If the mass of Negroes ever hear this faith in God there may be trouble here. I sometimes fear that the attitude of many social workers tends to encourage them to weaken this faith. Because of this faith, the Negro church has been a preacher of patience as well as of justice. Because of it, the Negro church has been able to hold open the door of hope and keep the unrestrained from despair, and the best educated from desperation. Little as nationalistic social philosophies may liken the Negro church is doing a pre-ventive vice for America in a way which no other institution can do, and which only the future will prove.
3 MEN BEATEN
BY UNMASKED BAND
GALDENEN, Mk. January
County officials are considering
a special session of the Grand
Bury to investigate activities of an
unmasked band which abducted
George Ramssey in Morgans on
Will Ross, the latter a colored
man, from their homes Thursday
night and fled them. State
law enforcement officers are as
assisting the Sheriff in working in
evidence.
News of the alleged whiping-in-
reached Galden when Ramssey
returned home in a dawn condition
with black marion on his
back. Morgan also has returned
to his home, but Ross is reported
missing.
Ramssey reported that he was
taken from his home by the man
who claimed they were carrying
blue on a charge of violating the
prohibition law. He stated that
Morgan and Ross later were pick-
up and all three then about
25 miles from Galden, where
they were whipped.

That Loomad Kip Rhinelander destroys a Westchester County jury to determine whether he is entitled to an annulment of his marriage to Mrs. Alice Batrice Jones Rhinelander of New Rochelle, was made known last week, following a notice for a jury trial which was filed in the Westchester Supreme Court.
The notice of trial by jury was filed by Loon R. Jacobs, attorney for Rhinelander.
Judge Samuel E. Swimburne, who is defending Mrs. Rhinelander against the suit, has sent an agent to get a copy of the birth certificate of the defendant's father and grandfather in Lonestar, England, in order to determine his color and race.

All Admire Her
Lovely Hair
Few people who meet this beautiful girl know how she obtained the gloriously lovely hair that now makes her admired by all who see her
She says it was Exelente Quinine Pomade that rid her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxurious. It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glamy sheen.
She was so delighted with Exelente Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelente Skin Beautifier for low complexions and skin bleamises. She had used this remarkable cream but a short time when her friends began complimenting her on her clear skin and improved appearance.
Anyone who wants lovely hair and a beautiful complexion should immediately purchase Exelente Quinine Pomade and Exelente Skin Beautifier. They can be obtained at 259 each from nearly all drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the

WHAT? Two per cent normal tax on the first $4,000 of net income in excess of the personal exemptions and credits. Four per cent normal tax on the next $4,000. Six per cent normal tax on the balance of net income. Surtax on net income in excess of $10,000.
No. 3.
If you are single and support
in your home one or more per-
sones closely related to you and
once when you exercise family
control, you are the head of a
family and entitled under the
recast of 1924 to the same
exemption allowed a
personal person, $2,500. In ad
Given a taxpayer is entitled to a credit of $400 for each person dependent upon him for chief support, if each person is other under 18 years of age incapable of self support because mentally or physically dependent. Such dependent need not be a member of the taxpayer's household. For example, an unmarried son who supports in his home an aged mother is entitled to a exemption of $2,500 plus the $400 credit for a dependent, a total of $2,900. If from choice the mother lived in another city, the son, although his chief support, would be entitled only to the $1,000 exemption, plus the $400 credit. The mother not living with him, nor not considered the head of a family.
An exemption as the head of a family can be claimed by only one member of a household. The $100 credit does not apply to the wife or husband of a taxpayer though one may be temporarily dependent upon the other.

“THE HEAVENS declare the
glory of God and the firmament
showeth His handiwork.”
Negro Officers and
the 369th
THERE 18 not a freak sen
bloeded man among us who
would not take extreme pride in
seeing a Negro colonel swing-
ing down Fifth avenue at the
head of a regiment of white sol-
aes, 0 a unit consisting of
and men of both races.
It would undoubtedly exemplify
Seo equality of opportunity,
itnout regard to race, creed,
ron, colur, we hear so much
giant and of which we see
meijctle. It would allay that
are i :
‘¥-y Negro must feel when he
; a white officer marching at
Se head of a column of Negro
Idiers.
ogIF, IN A DEMOCRACY like
e State of New York, white
plicers are commissioned for
ice with a colored unit, why
‘Sander the heavens are colored
nen not commissioned for serv-
ice with white units? You know
_why, we know why, and the
aGovernor of the State knows
arvhy.
“ee AND YET, the time will come
“rien such things must come
x ss, if civilization as’ we
it today and if the Negro
in America are to survive.
SINCE the prejudice barrier
Kind a supposed belief in Cauca-
sian superiority have combined
\.to prevent the promotion and
2ammissioning of officers of the
“State Guard without regard to
*¢race, creed or color, we favor
UNEQUIVOCALLY the com-
missioning of Negro officers,
FROM THE COLONEL DOWN,
to the 369th Infantry. “When |
signed the Bill creating the
_ Fifteenth New York Infantry,”
writes Ex-Governor Sulzer, “1
said in a public statement that
the officers of the regiment
must be of the same race as the
members of the regiment.”
WE HAVE NO QUARREI
. with Colonel Arthur Little, the
present commander of the
369th, or with Colonel Willian
Hayward, World War comman
der, both of whom so glorious!;
led the regiment in France. A’
the time the regiment was or
. ganized, which was in 1913, i
5 have been necessary anc
<aatient to appoint a white
a for it. but that necessity
and that expediency no longer
exist. We refuse to believe that
Negroes of New York State are
less qualified to have a regiment
officered entirely by men of
their own race than the State of
Illinois, whose famous Eighth
Regiment has always been com-
manded by a Negro colonel.
THEREFORE, in demand-
ing colored officers for New
York’s colored military unit, we
do so because we are deter-|
mined to keep the door of hope
and opportunity open at all cost:
and because of the inspiration
it will bring to our youths.
TAKE OUR TIP! If you know
of a colored World War Veteran
who has not made application
for his Federal Bonus, urge him
to do so at once before it is too
late. Five hundred or a thou-
sand dollars twenty years hence
may be more welcome than a
cash bonus would be now. Fur-
thermore, the insurance has a
borrowing power after two years
that may help the veteran to
‘build himself a home, pay off a
mortgage or relieve financial
embarrassment brought about
by death, illness or loss of em-
ployment. Even if he doesn’t
need or care for it himself, it
may be a blessing in disguise to
his mother, wife, son or daugh-
ter. Years often bring startling
changes.

We can live life as a fine art infused with symmetry,

imagery of what is true and native te the unfuldment. We
can sail the sea ui years in the quest uf treasure trove and
find rich treasure awaiting capture. Life can be made a
