THE AFRICAN AMERICAN --- VOL. XXV No. 35 BISHOP OPENS A.M.E. CONFERENCE Ministers and Laymen From All Parts of State and District Attend. Frederick, Md., April 20—With ministers and laymen from the District of Columbia and all parts of Maryland in attendance, the 102nd annual session of the Baltimore Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church opened at Quinn A. M. E. Church Wednesday morning. Rt. Rev J. Albert Johnson is the presiding bishop and Rev. Joseph G. Bryant is the entertaining pastor. Candidates for ministerial orders were examined Tuesday, and at night addresses were delivered by Rev A. L. Gaines, Rev. Charles E. Stewart Rev. John W. Norris and Mrs. Ruth M. Collett, all o'Baltimore. Rev H. M. Davis, of Anacostia, D. C., preached the opening sermon on Wednesday morning. Rev J. A. Young, of Cambridge, Md., was elected chief secretary. BETHEL CHURCH BEHIND Financial reports of the churches were received in the afternoon, with Trinity leading Baltimore churches, and Metropolitan leading in the District of Columbia. Bethel Church, Baltimore, was $200 behind in "dollar money" and the pastor, Rev. J. W. Sanders, left for Baltimore Thursday, to attend a funeral and try to secure some of his arrears. Formal welcoming services were held Wednesday night, Prof. John W. Bruner, Attorney Leo Weinburg and Rev. J. W. Townes delivering addresses of welcome. Responses were made by Bishop Johnson and Dr. R. C. Bansome, of Philadelphia, editor of the A. M. E. Review. INTEREST IN DELEGATION The appearance of a rather formidable delegation from Bethel Church, Baltimore, Thursday, caused a flurry of excitement. The members of the delegation would not divulge whether their mission was a financial one or otherwise. An executive session was held in the afternoon, and it is said that charges against several ministers were heard. Rev. John Hammond made the missionary report at night. The Women's Mite Missionary Society met Friday afternoon, with Mrs. C. J. Flingg presiding. Mrs. Rosa Martin and Mrs. Margaret P. Hill were among the speakers. Rev. William Chew presented the educational report at night. Bishop Johnson has conducted the affairs of the conference in an impartial business-like manner and the appointments are expected to be read Sunday night. The ministers are much perturbed about the assignments, especially some of those who have been holding desirable charges in Baltimore. This is the first session of this conference presided over by Bishop Johnson and while no inkling has been given as to whether any changes will be made, the impression seems to prevail that a number of the ministers will be changed. New pastors will likely come to Allen and Payne, Baltimore, Grace, Catonsville and Anacostia, the pastors serving these charges having served the full three limit. Bishop Johnson will preach Sunday morning and ordinations will take place in the afternoon. R. A. Tuckey will conduct a rally of the Allen Christian Endocare League in the afternoon. A number of the visiting ministers will fill pulpits in and around Frederick. While there have not been many visitors so far, a large crowd from Baltimore and other places is expected Sunday. Among the prominent visitors area Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia; Dr. J. T. Jenifer, of Chicago, historian of the church; Rev. J. P. McDonald, editor of the Western Christian Recorder; Dr. P. C. Ransom, of Kansas; Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination; Dr. R. F. Watson, of Washington, secretary of the church extension department of the denomination; Rev. S. S. Morris and Rev. E. H. Hunter, both of the Virginia Conference, and Rex. C. G. Cummings, of Baltimore. TO URGE SEPARATE SCHOOLS Harrisburg, Pa., April 16.—The recent large influx of colored people from the South to various parts of the State has caused the whites in some communities to seek for separate schools. Looking thereto, a bill has been introduced in the State Legislature. Very few communities have separate schools, though I. Philadelphia three of the largest schools are virtually separate ones. Former Baltimoreans are in charge of them. BISHOP J. ALBERT JOHNSON MILITARY CAMP NOW ASSURED New York, April 19—The Military Training Camp for colored officers which is being organized by Dr. J. E Spingarn, of New York, is now almost certainly assured of success. Over three hundred and fifty candidates have applied for admission, including about eighty students of Howard University, twenty students of Hampton, a dozen physicians, seven or eight clergymen, and twenty-five or thirty lawyers. The newspaper reports that all civilian camps for the summer are to be abolished are not official, for the Government has not yet decided exactly what arrangements it will make for training officers for the new regiments that are to be created. One plan that has been suggested is that an officers' Training Camp be organized for each of the four divisions of the country. If colored men are not admitted to these camps a separate camp will undoubtedly be established for their benefit, and the three hundred and fifty candidates who have already applied will be assigned to this camp. It is still not too late for further applications, which should be sent to Dr. Spingarn at 9 West 73rd street, New York. Five hundred is by no means too large a number for such a camp. The new arrangements that will be made for the camp will probably include free training and subsistence at the camp, free uniforms and a refund of all transportation expense, but a deposit will probably have to be left with the Camp Commander when the uniforms are handed out and this deposit will be returned at the end of the camp when the men return the uniforms Full details of the camp and official government application blanks will be ready for distribution soon. N. A. A. C. P. TO MEET IN WASHINGTON Washington, April 20.—The annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will be held at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on May 16, 17 and 18, instead of at Cleveland, O., as had at first been planned. Roy Nash, of New York, secretary of the association, was here this week making final plans for the meeting. Prominent speakers of both races are expected to address the meeting, and a large attendance is expected. The Spingarn Medal will also be awarded during the session. VIRGINIA CONFERENCE ENDS Farmville, Va., April 18--The fifty-first annual session of the Virginia African Methodist Conference came to an end here Sunday night with the announcement of the appointments for the ensuing year by Bishop Johnson. There were but few changes. The ministers express themselves as being highly pleased with their new bishop. The next session will be held at Danville. FOR SEPARATE MILITARY SCHOOL Washington. April 20 - Southern Congressmen are being besieged now-a-days by some colored men who favor or the establishment of a "Jim Crow" military school. They argue that there is no chance for a colored man at West Point or Annapolis. Philadelphia. April 29 - A number of those interested in the purpose for the colored Baptists in the North met at St. Paul Baptist Church yesterday. The university was first proposed at the meeting of the New England Baptist Convention in Washington several years ago. The recent heavy immigration North has added new life to the proposal. As most Northern schools and colleges admit colored students, the proposed university has been opposed in some quarters. There are but few school's established North of Mason and Dixon's line, primarily for colored students. They include: The Delaware State College, Dover, Del.; Downingtown (Pn.) Industrial School, Lincoln University, Oxford, Pn.; Ironsides Industrial School, Bordentown, N. J., and Wilberforce University. BIG INCREASE IN CHURCH REVENUE "Dollar Money" Reports of A M E. Church Show Increase of Over $12,000. Washington, April 19.—The great migration of the Negro from the South during the past year, the boll weevil and floods in Alabama and inhuman treatment in southeast Georgia did not cause a reduction in the "dollar money" receipts of the A. M. E. Church during the fiscal year ended March 31, $223,796.05 having been raised, according to the annual report submitted by John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination, at the annual meeting of the financial board Wednesday. The amount secured is an increase of $12,406.16 over the previous year. The members of board were in attendance, except the representatives from West and South Africa. Bishon B. F. Lee presided. The board members present included: Revs. M. W. Thornton. A. L. Gaines, T. H. Jackson, A. J. Carey, S. J. Roseborough, R. W. Mance, W. H. Edwards, C. H. Shelto, S. P. Johnson, J. E. Starks, J. D. Dennis, J. R. Ransom and J. W. Saunders. The report of Professor Hawkins was a general and minute review of the financial operations of the department. Of the total receipts, Georgia contributed the most—$70,755.74. The emigration from Florida did not damage materially the reports of the ministers in Bishop Hurst's district, they raising $19,475.85, an increase of $1,133.80 over the previous year. The Second Episcopal district, which includes the Baltimore Conference, reported $18,564.06, which was $431.21 more than last year. Of this the Baltimore Conference raised $6,948.60, an increase of $113.60. Of the big sum raised by the denomination, $89,518.43 was for the general needs of the church. $80,568.58 went to annual conferences for local needs, and the departments of church extension, missions and education each received $17,903.68. The following committees were appointed: Executive—Revs. A. L. Gaines, chairman; M. W. Thornton, C. H. Shelto, A. J. Carey and J. R. Ransom. Auditing—Revs. J. R. Ransom, chairman; T. H. Jackson, R. W. Mance, J. D. Dennis and M. W. Thornton. Resolutions and recommendations—Revs. A. J. Carey, chairman; J. W. Sanders, A. L. Gaines, S. P. Roseborough, W. H. Edwards, J. D. Dennis and S. J. Johnson. Rev. J. E. Starks was elected vice president and Rev. R. W. Mance secretary. BETHEL GETS $500 Dr. J. H. Tompkins and Mr. J. H. Murphy were on hand to make a plea for Bethel Church, Baltimore. They were given every consideration, and the board voted the congregation: $540. Among other appropriations were generous sums to twelve schools: $100 each to the Western Christian Recorder, the Southern Christian Recorder and Bethel Church, Philadelphia. The money given the two newspapers and the Philadelphia congregation was regarded as donations. Some surprise was manifested when it became known that Dr. R. R. Wright was receiving not only his $1,350 salary as editor of the Christian Recorder, but $1,350 annually as manager of the publication house at Philadelphia. Secretary Hawkins explained that he had been occupying both positions since the resignation of Rev. J. I. Lowe as manager, and that the additional $1,350 was being paid on the order of the publication board with the stipulation that half of it is to be used in paying the salary of a printer. Professor Hawkins was highly commanded for the business-like way in which he handles the finances, as well as his sticking out for paying of all monies in accordance with the laws of the church. Not one of his recommendations was turned down. Among the visitors introduced were: Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary of Church Extension; Rev. J. F. McDonald, editor Western Christian Recorder; Rev. E. H. Hunter, Portsmouth, Va.; Thomas Wallace Swann, J. H. Murphy, editor Baltimore Afro-American; Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clarke, Contaia Philin H. Edwards, J. Finley Wilson, editor Washington Eagle; Prof. J. Wesley Cromwell, and Rev. J. Milton Waldon.

Moorland, S. S. Booker, of Baltimore, Dr. George H. Cook- James W. Cobb, Prof. Dwight O. W. Holmes and Dr. William V. Tunnell. TO LOYALTY OF THE RACE Cincinnati, April 18.—A notable tribute to the progress of the Negro and his loyalty to America was paid by Bishop William A. Quayle, at the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Freedmen's Aid Society of the M. E. Church last week. The society supports more than twenty schools and colleges for colored students, and from their doors have gone men and women who have achieved distinction in all walks of life. Morgan College, Baltimore, and Princess Anne (Md.) Academy are among the institutions operating under the board. Dr. I. Garland Penn is one of the two corresponding secretaries of the Society. Bishop Quayle, who delivered the principal address at the semi-centennial, declared that he did not want to belong to the "all-white" church and that the "black race has woken since it was torn from its mother's arms by the slothful and the do-less. Christ has enthroned the servant. He that would be chief among you, let him by servant of all. If that be not setting the black race in the hearts of the mighty, I cannot catch the meaning of words. "Doeany American who knows it black man," he went on to say, "think that race would hesitate to die for the flag? Nay. He would run to battle. He is brave. The black man, as I have seen him, knows no fear: Getting hurt does not worry him. Hardship does not make him peevish. "While machinators have instigated our next-door neighbors to stab us in the back, it is good to know that our American citizens will man every mile of wire fence when hedges Mexico from us, and that dwellers along the fence could go to sleep without leaving a lamp lit and wake in safety. The black sentiments would not slumber nor fail. For these reasons among others, I count the black one of America's assets." TO DISCUSS IMMIGRATION Newark, April 20.—A massmeeting under the auspices of the State Negro Welfare League will be held at the First Presbyterian Church next Monday evening. The speakers will include former Governor Stokes, Rev. W. A. Credit, of Philadelphia, and Mayor Raymond. The Negro question in relation to the recent influx will be generally discuss 1. TO MOBILIZE VIRGINIANS Richmond, Va., April 20.—The thousands of colored people living in the rural sections of Virginia are to be "mobilized" in a general preparedness campaign, according to State School Inspector Arthur E. Wright. A large part of the work of getting the masses in line for the campaign will fall upon the shoulders of the fifty colored supervisors of county schools. John M. Gandy, president of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg, says: The Negro should bear his share of the burden now upon us in the present crisis. The women and children can contribute no little by cultivating larger acreage in gardens and by canning and preserving fruits, berries and other farm products.' CAPT. DAVIS RELIEVED Wilberforce, O., April 19.—Capt. Benjamin O. Davis has been withdrawn as military instructor at Wilberforce University and will be sent to the Philippines. HIGH SCHOOL DOWNS "TECH" Washington, April 20—East might the student body of Armstrong Technical High School, witnessed a most spectacular and hair-raising contest seen in their gymnasium this season in the team team of the Baltimore High School defeated the team representing their school by the score of 31 to 28. Because of the recent defeat of the Baltimore five by Armstrong, the local dopsters had it all figured out that the game was to be a 'lead-pipe cinch' but the Baltimoreans decreed otherwise. Butter, the left forward for the Baltimoreans, who had been counted upon to do great things, was a marked man for the entire local team crowded as he was from start to finish, managed to score the first field goal in less than a minute after the call for play, and subsequently secured four more field goals and 3 out of 6 free throws. Gee, centre for the visitors, upon whom the blame for the loss of the last game was placed, redeemed himself and so completely covered Smith, his opponent, that the latter was unable to get his "roots" to work. Lyles and Jackson supported their teammates in faultless style. C. and S. Parker, forwards for the locals, played a stellar game, breaking up the game of the visitors at crucial moments. Charles Murray, of the visiting team who until this game was used as a utility forward, worked in the regular line-up, and covered himself with glory, scoring no less than eight field goals, besides playing an excellent all-around-game. The final game of the series will be played at Bethel Hall on Thursday night of next week. PRIZES FOR BETER BABIES Baby Week is drawing netar and the ministers of the city have been appealed to to ask all mothers who have babies under two years of age to enter the lists in a physical contest. $2.50 in gold will be given to the baby over one month and under one year who is in the best physical condition and the same will be given the one who is in the pink of condition between one and two years. Baby Week begins on April 30 and on Friday, May 4th, prizes will be awarded at Bethel Church. The full program will be published in next week's Afro-American. PLEDGE LOYALTY ON PART OF NEGRO National Equal Rights League Issues a Memorial to American People. ASKS FOR FAIR PLAY Boston, Mass., April 19.—The National Equal Rights League has issued a memorial to the American people pledging loyalty on the part of the Negro and asking justice and fairplay for the race. The memorial reads: "When this European war began the world involuntarily speculated whether the Irish would be loyal and the Russian Jews, because of the naval of England, and of civil political rights by Russia. As the United States of America enters this unfulfil war the world speculates whether Americans of color will be loyal because of the denial of rights to a majority of them. "Since colored Americans in the past have offered their lives in every way for the country, if Germany is seeking to induce them to revolt, it proves how notorious is their proscription. If this nation, knowing the active loyalty of the Americans in the past, believes this alleged plitting could succeed, it shows that the government and people believe that colored Americans are most unjustly treated. "The Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League, meeting when the country is at war, realizing its responsibility as a branch of the onion nation-wide organization formed by and of and led colored citizens to oppose race and color discrimination, declares false all charges of disloyalty. "Colored Americans would be less than human if they did not feel butterly every bar from employment, from public accommodation because of our race and color. Deep is the resentment against enforced segregation by city, state or the federal government whether in the civil or military service. But we have no thought of taking up arms against this our country. "Let neither white nor colored Americans seize to deny the truths of human nature. Soldiers of democracies might better than soldiers of autocracies. The same men might better than at time of peace they can sell their labor in the open market than if denied work because of race: fight better if public accommodation in peace depends on conduct and the price, than if it is denied for color: fight more cagery than if peace encouraged by possession of a free man's ballot, than if represented by its denial; fight with more heart if they have court protection then if they mean means possible murder by the mob. "To the national government which calls us all to war, to our fellow Americans of every race variety we would appeal in the name of fairplay, of justice and humanity. We are all citizens of a common country. "There is need no longer of subjection of Americans to the race prejudices of fellow Americans. In the presence of a common danger and a common obligation, with a war devastating Europe caused by racial claimishness and racial hatred, under Almighty God, let the United States of America and the people thereof give up race proscription and persecution at home. Let the door of the workshop, the school, the college, the civil service, the army, the navy, the military school, the naval school, open alike to every citizen of the Republic without regard to race and without distinction of color. Let the right to travel, to vote, to have court protection be free, without barrier or denial. "Give, Mr. President and all our Governors, the same encouragement for volunteering or enlisting to white, to brown, to yellow, to black, Americans, all, by vouchsafing the same free chance to enlist, to rise or merit, and on return Home, the same right to civil service, and to civil rights without bar or segregation. "With our great Republic entering a world war for humanity, remove the need for the colored mother and father to suffer under the feeling that their son will return to find the color line drawn at factory, eating place, playhouse, and ballot-box make it not necessary for the colored soldier in the trenches to suffer with the thought that as he bears his breast to the bullet his sister is segregated in the government service at Washington and his mother in danger of the lynching mob. "Recognizing the world honored ethics of national defense, as England promised home-rule to the Irish and Russia abolition of restriction and the ghetto to her Jews, the United States of America is now called upon to grant the abolition of federal segregation and of disfranchisement to her colored citizens. As this nation goes forth to fight the "natural foe of liberty," let Americans highly receive that all shall have liberty within her borders. As she fights for democracy as against autocracy let there be a democracy at home 100 per cent not centering on voting. As our President declares we "fight for the rights of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government" let us all resolve that when the war is over such shall be the privilege of 100 per cent of our people, not 90 per cent. T. Orator for the 24th Anniversary of the local Y. M. C. A., which will be held at Berhel A M. E. Church this Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Supreme Court Gives Verdict Reinstating it in Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias.

A., S. A., E., A., A., & A., This is the culmination favorably to the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of Virginia, of a suit instituted by that body against the Supreme Lodge to restrain that tribunal from enforcing the proclamation of the Supreme Chancellor suspending the Grand Lodge of Virginia and all the members in the subordinate lodges in that grand jurisdiction from the Order. At the session of the Supreme Lodge at Baltimore, the action of the Supreme Chancellor was sustained and a resolution adopted expelling the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia from the Order. A restraining order was obtained from Mr. Justice Ashley M. Gould of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, forbidding the Supreme Chancellor from enforcing his own proclamation or the decree of the Supreme Lodge. At the session of the Supreme Lodge at Columbus, O., the injunction or restraining order was not obeyed and the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, through counsel and with the concerted action of the Supreme Representatives, John Mitchell, Jr., Thomas M. Crump, E. R. Jefferson and T. H. Wyatt instituted contempt proceedings in the Supreme Court at Washington against S. W. Green, Dr. E. E. Underwood, R. R. Jackson, for violating the restraining order.

MASONS TO BUILD Philadelphia, April 20.—Local Masonic lodges are planning to build a large hall, and leave already filed notice for the incorporation of the Masonic Joint Stock and Building Association. Hampton, Va., April 18—Dr. Hollis B. Prissell, principal of Hampton Institute, has sent out a letter to Hampton alumni urging them to mobilize their forces and efforts for the United States in its struggle against Germany. "We are now at war with the German Government." he says, "because the German Government first made war on us by sinking our ships, without warning, and in defiance of all laws of humanity, leaving women and children and other noncombatants to perish of exposure in open boats at sea. Germany has plotted against the peace and safety of our land, endeavoring to stir up Mexico against us, and now the newspapers charge that she has sent agents through the South for the purpose of inciting the colored people to dishonesty. "It may be that in some districts a few in their bitterness may have listened to evil counselors. It is for you who have seen the light to do all in your power to inspire your people with patriotism and to arouse that deep sense of loyalty to our country which, has always been one of the noblest characteristics of the Negro people. Washington and Dr. Moton have proved by their lives of unpretentious service the colored man is going to secure recognition, not by demanding his rights, but by demanding them. "Bitterness, fear, hatred, narrow jealousies and selfish interests can have no place in our lives at such time as this, when our Government is calling for the best help that each man, woman, and child can give. We must each put aside all thought of self and give this help generously, wherever there is opportunity, whether it is for a white neighbor or a black neighbor, whether it is through some great sacrifice for the good of our country or by a cup of cold water to some one in want. Let us show our colors and hang up the flag in the place of honor over the doors of our dwellings. Let us teach the children to love and respect that flag. "The country needs all that you can. It needs a larger food supply. If you have any land, no matter how small a piece, raise and can vegetables, increase your crops and teach others how to do the same. If you hear threats of danger or see signs of dissatisfaction, see that the matter is brought to the attention of the prope authorities and stamped out at once. Do not allow yourself to be disturbed by a few mischief-makers. The great mass of your countrymen. North and South, believe in you and trust your loyalty absolutely. "We are all Americans together and must stand shoulder to shoulder in this crisis. Not only is it our duty and privilege to help our own country, but let us remember those war-striken countries across the sea, England, France, Belgium and the others, which have been so bravely fighting and suffering these many months for the cause of right we now have championed. Let us try to help them also in every way in our power, by word and deed and prayer."

Subject of an editorial in a local contemporary last week. The green-eyed monster, jealousy, is an awful thing to contend with, and when it once possesses a person his vision becomes blurred and they see every thing distorted. Deliver us from the jealous man. We are wondering just how we are going to get along in our high school. Teachers resigning and getting married at the rate of three or four a year is going some. Unfortunately many of us are not blessed with large back yards so that we might do our bit towards cutting down the high cost of living, but those of us who are so fortunate might help a little by planting a few beans, peas or some other vegetable. It would give Pater Families something to do in the early mornings, and in the afternoons after work hours. After, all it might help the "back-to-the-farm-movement" Clean-up-day is close at hand. Let everybody take a hand and help to make Baltimore a real clean city. It can only be done by everybody helping. There was a time in this city when everybody washed their own front pavement, and swept before their own doors. Then, notwithstanding the cobble stones, Baltimore was a fairly clean city. Now that the city does the work we have not bothered so much about it. Let is get busy and clean up, back as well as front. When the financial department of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was created in 1872, little did some expect that its annual receipts would exceed $200,000. Yet when Prof. John R. Hawkins reported the other day that $223,000 had been raised during the past fiscal year, no spoke as if he expected to make a still better report next year. The denomination is to be congratulated for having its financial affairs in so capable hands as Professor Hawkins. The Afro-American extends greetings to the Battimore African Methodist Conference, now in session in Frederick. The conference has played an important role in the history and upbuilding of the denomination. It has probably given to the church more bishops than any other conference. Its present bishop, Dr. J. Alert Johnson, certainly typifies the African Methodist spirit in its broadest and fullest sense. We hope that his presidency will result in an era for the conference that has not been equaled. THIS PROBLEM A MAN'S JOB That the migration from the South will increase with the coming of the warm weather is voiced by almost every prominent man coming from that section of the country. That the advent of so many colored people in some sections will create a problem goes without saying. One of the problems, if there were no others, is the housing of this great population in already congested districts, in almost every large city of the country. This inflow must be cared for in some way and there is hardly a city in the country ready to take care of an increase in population numbering hundreds and in some cases thousands. In ordinary times the increase is gradual and preparations can be made to take care of this increase, but where there is a sudden inflow of hundreds there is at once a problem. Just how the public spirited non- and women of the race in these localities are taking care of the situation does not appear from the information at hand. One thing is sure and that is that unless some arrangements are made by members of the race to see that this new tax upon the community is properly taken care of there will be a new problem on their hands that will give serious trouble to all concerned. Already there is talk in Chicago of passing segregation laws on account of the large number of colored people who have recently come to that city. This will not do any all and it will be up to the colored people of those cities in the North and West to see that this problem is handled so wisely that this iniquitous system of segregation shall never be extended. It is enough for us in localities where sentiment against the colored people has been brought over from the "late onpleasantness" and is to some extent still a factor in the community, but to have it extended further in cities where colored men have always had a large amount of equality of freedom will be but to heap greater indignities upon us. It is up to the wise men of the race to see to it that this matter is aken in hand in time and wisely treated other wise all will suffer. FOR BETER BABIES Some one has said that the education of a child should begin a hundred years before it is born. If this is true of the education of a child, what of its health? Therefore to have better babies it is in order to have better mothers, and with both ends in view, the Afor-American several weeks ago invited a number of ladies to meet in order to formulate plans for a "Better Baby" week. The ladies have undertaken the task and have perfected plans for the week of April 30. During the week babies will be examined by the several physicians who have offered their services, and such information given as will greatly help the mothers to care for their babies during the comming summer. Lectures at night will be given on the care of infants. It is hoped that the pastors of the various churches and other public-spirited citizens will interest themselves in this great work and make "Better Baby" week a success.

To The Afro-American Baltimore, Maryland Today Troop D, 12 compelled to regret the loss of Corporal James E. Patterson, a former resident of your city. Corporal Patterson's transfer the Afro-War War is a surprise to his many friends of his troop and regiment, more surprising because the Corporal will not give reasons. But as the boys say, "Jim has something up his sleeve." Of the many representatives of the colored population of Baltimore, in this famous regiment, Corporal Patterson, seems to be, and has been the most popular, first because of his excellent disposition and sunny smile (which he always wears) which gains him his military reputation of everyone who comes in contact with him; secondly because of his many qualifications as a soldier. Having been connected with three of the colored regiments of the U. S Army, graduated from Fort Riley, Kansas as an excellent baker, connected with the Quartermaster Corp. officer, chief baker, and his excellent service while in the 19th Cavalry has won for him distinction throughout the colored military organizations of the country. His service as a member of the Primitive Expedition in Mexico is also commendable. I voice the sentiments of Troop D. 10th U. S. Cavalry when I say that the Army War College receives an excellent soldier, and Troop D loses one. I want to congratulate the colored population of Baltimore through you on her able representative. Respectfully. His esteemed friend. CORPORAL HAROLD R. FOSTER 10th U. S. Cavalry March 27, 1917 Editor of The Forum. There have been many, no doubt, awaived with eagerness the decision of the editor of the Crisis on a "Jim Crow" Plattsburg, and they have been painfully surprised at the acquiescence of the editor. It is quite true that the Negro needs military training as officers and a training camp for colored men is the quickest and most practical way of obtaining these trained men, even though it outrages his feelings of manhood. The history of the filled men with country is the real hero of his country the "practical," while he shut his eyes to the violation of principle that has always accompanied this acceptance. While there have been numerous leaders who have preached the gospel of the principles of justice and equality. His acceptance, therefore, of the segregated camp has come as a distinct THE AFRO-AMERICAN It is urged that in the present threatened conflict the Negro must fight; that his choice lies only between conscription and rebellion. When the recent Irish rebellion collapsed, there appeared an edictorial in the Crisis, in which some reference was made to Irish men having been called fools. This report followed by the fervent prayer, "Would to God some of us were fools." The deep meaning expressed by this prayer is hardly consistent with the statement that, "The leaders of the colored race who advise them to add treason and rob them to the other grounds, which the South would denounce against them would hardly be doing a service to those whom they profess to love."

He is w and fraternal group. We believe that the editor of the Crisis, in favoring the purposed camp is talking against his convictions. He either is desirous of keeping the peace in the central offices of the National Association, or is surrendering to the possible hopelessness of accomplishing large results; or is surrendering of policy that has won for him his place in the hearts of American Negroes. What is it that thinking Negroes desire in this country? Do they wish to see themselves a respected and self-respecting nation, or a people set aside and receiving no consideration in the throbbing life of the. Their residence in this country must result in one of the other condition, to deserve the latter, let them continue to accept the ever increasing burden of discrimination; if the former, let them face firmly the adoption of some strong and uncompromising stand for their unqualified recognition as men. "QUID." SLATTER DEFENDS STAND OF BISHOP COTTRELL Jacksonville, Fla., April 14—I was pained and astonished a few weeks ago to have noticed in one or two of our leading publications some rather severe pictures upon some remarkable Bishop Elias Cornejo, a native of Northern cities, being upon the migration of Negroes to the North. The good Bishop was quoted as having said in effect that the Negro was foolish to leave the South and that the Southern man was his best friend to have been made several statements of belief of the repressionist propaganda in the South. I thought at first that my infirmities were responsible for my inability to read and that the error was in my distorted imagination. I did not think that there was any individual in country who knew Bishop Arthur better than I did. I traveled with him after week for several years in the heart of the South, in Mississippi, in Arkansas and in Louisiana, reporting his annual conferences and have been with him and again when he addressed conferences of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church in behalf of Negro education. In those days he was a fearless and outspoken champion of the rights of the Negro, calling a spade in the mud, never falling to the dominant element or allowing others (to do so, while at the same time he held up to the white South its duty in the education and protection of the Negro. I could not understand how this fearless champion of the Negro, a man who had built churches throughout the South, who had been instrumented in eradicating slavery, learned in the State of Mississippi as a rebuke to Vardamanism and who was the recognized leader in his church in educational matters could so change for any reason. I knew that if he had changed, ever he felt that he was right for his eminently a man of his convictions. As near as I felt myself to be to him, I formore to question him on the matter some weeks ago, when passing through Jacksonville, I had an audience with him. Rather I felt it my duty to await his forthcoming address in this city on the subject, "Should the Negro Go North," and see for myself that Gretell was to say, "I will bet that Gretell was hooked to speak in this city Tuesday night, and did speak to a representative audience at Bethel Baptist Church. My opinion of this eminent lender was fully verified, for at no time did he make a single utterance that was liable to the severe criticism that had been heaped upon him, particularly by the Chicago Defender. I have seen Bishop grow red in the face and make white men grow red in the face as he told them of the wrongs and the sufferings of the Negro in the South, and made a Negro leader in the North who would come to Mississippi or Alabama or Louisiana and say the things he has said before white audiences. Giving justice to whom justice is due, and that is to every man I would not withhold it from him because he is my friend. I would not defend any defense at my hand because of the fact that his service to the people for more than sixty years will speak or itself, it is well that the general public should understand his service, and that he dress in Jacksonville, Bishop Cottrell told his hearers in effect, these thing: That where there was any individual of the Negro race who felt that he could better his condition by moving to Ohio, or Pennsylvania or any other place, and was able to provide for the maintenance of his life, he had made arrangements for work and knew just where he was going, that man would be a fool not to go. He did deplore however, the situation that was created when ignorant, untrained, and improvident people of the race were led in car load lots to go to Northern communities on the promises of labor agents, not knowing where they were going, or what they were going to do, nor any money in their possession to provide for them until they were located. He cited instances, one particularly where a man leaving Jacksonville spent $147 for tickets to Chicago, and had left only $2.50 with which to provide for his large family. Others perished in the plane, and tickets for them and had boarded trains without knowing where they were going. He also cited instances he had gone thru three full cars of emigrants in a certain Southern city and found that many of them were still flying to the South even for the mild Southeastern white. Bishop Cottrell calls upon the leadership of the South to get together in some way and direct this flow of people so that there will not be so much suffering among them, and so that the best good to all concerned will come to the aid of those trying to keep a single individual, man or woman from going where he pleases, but is trying to help that man in the best way possible. Surely that would be permitted to any man who has the welfare of his people at heart. LOCAL NOTES LOCAL NOTES INVENTOR VISITS THE CITY Francis H. Warren, president of the Elijah McCoy Manufacturing Company, Detroit, Mich., was in the city this week in the interest of the McCoy Graphite Lubricators. The lubricator or is said to be the first successor to attempt to use graphite as a lubricator. A number of corporations, including railroads, are using the invention. While in the city, Warren talked with local railroad men about the involvement. He is well known in legal and fraternal circles in Detroit. Mr. McCoy has invented 58 useful appliances.

It may be well for some of us in Baltimore to do the same. We cannot overestimate the services of such men as Dr. J. E. Spingarn, champion of human rights, and Julius Rosenwald, Y. M. C. A. builder."

PAUL ST. . Abeve Franklin CLARKE L. SMITH Attorney & Counsellor at Law : Office: 21 E. Saratoga St. Z Rediann: 1806 Drald HL Avenue, Petersburg, Va.—R. W. Thompson, the great writer has been riding the goat, and I noticed that he is now a full fledged Odd Fellow. He has always been as polite as a basket of chips, and now I suppose he is full of signs and grips, and it took his wife two weeks to replace the buttons that were kicked off by the goat. I am sure that he is now prepared to go to the lodge, but it was not intended that the lodge man should lodge out all night. You can see that I am still jumping, and things are looking around my way. I was in Roanoke, Va., when I wrote to you last week, and then I told you about how we stood for our country, and I have not changed one inch from that position, and I stand ready today as I did yesterday to do my duty for God and the race. I stand ready to stand by our country, and I find many others in the same boat. There was a great time in Roanoke, Va., and when I pulled out I went to another town, known as Amelia. I had been to this place before, but they wanted me to return and I made up my mind to do so. I went there on invitation from Mrs. Estella Wingo, supervisor of the public schools. It is really necessary to do some working in Amelia county in order to grind out young people who can partly stand the test of manhood and womanhood. These people are well organized and they are adding some to the poor salaries paid our young teachers, and an addition to that they are putting down money by which the school terms are extended. These people are determined that their 'children shall not grow up in ignorance, and if the county will not provide for their education the parents are going to put their money together and fill up this vacancy. I do my hat to these people and say to them let the good work go on. From Amelia, I made a trip to Farmville to see Bishop J. Albert Johnson, held a conference, and I tell you he is a wonderful man, and I want to here congratulate the A. M. E. Church for elevating a man as this to the episcopacy. He is polished, polite, courteous, sympathetic His heart goes out for his men, and they love him. He is not a man to threaten the mea into Doing their duty, but appeals to their manhood and their love for God and country and church, and there is no getting around this appeal. He is getting good results from his labors. He is a man who can be reached. Getting to his conference. I was invited to take dinner with him, which invitation I accepted and enjoyed the dinner to the highest. Then I was introduced to his conference, but did not say a word, simply looked at the people. I had the pleasure of meeting Rev. J. Frank McDonald, editor of the Western Christian Recorder, Kansas City, Mo, and one of the live wires in his church. I met Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review. Got to ride proud with some of the good people there, and then I turned attention to other things. To me it was a great big meeting, and then I left for Petersburg, and from there down to Dinwiddie, Va., where I found Prof. Walter S. Woodyard, as busy as could be getting brains into the heads of the young people of Virginia. That is one teaching young man, and because he is well trained himself. He is at the head of the Dinwiddie Industrial School, an institution supported by the A. M. E. Zion Church, and Bishop Blackwell is at the head of it in this section of the country. I remained there in Diewdie over night the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Woodyard. She is one of our traineed young women, and is standing right by the side of her husband in the work of education. She noted the condition of my coat, and believe me that woman did do some patching for a few minutes. Off for Richmond, where I spent a few hours, and from there to Washington, D. C., to see how things looked around there. I want first to the Y. M. C. A. where I found Secretary Beckett as busy as a brooding hen. He had on a campaign for members, and was as busy as the president directing his generals. He is a general himself, fighting vice, sin and the vill. These soldiers have not lost a little and I hope they never will. /With God for them, they are sure to win. The leaders in Washington were showing to the president of the United States and others where they stood, and were organizing for action. Dr. J. Milton Waldron was made president of the organization. There were present, Methodist, Baptist, Congregational, Presbyterian, and I don't know what else, but believe me honey when the Baptists and Methodists and all these other preachers get together, the devil must do some tall running to save his own life. At the close of the meeting I met Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary of the Church Extension Society of the A. M. E. Church, and one of the great men of the race. He was looking real well. Then I met many others, but will not be able to tell you all this week. Next found me in Baltimore looking into the face of Editor John H. Murphy. Reaching the office I was greeted by that hustling young man, Arnett Murphy, and the clerks, Mrs. L. S. Henry, Miss Mabel Bourne, and then I was usured up to the sanctuary of the editor, and to my surprise found him busy putting his brains on paper. He was doing some tall thinking, because the advertisers were taking so much room, and there was but little left for the readers. He has decided that he will have to enlarge his paper, and do it soon. It is just one thinking man, our race. I am proud of him. He has wrought well. I did not get to see Daniel H. Murphy, but I saw Prof. John Murphy and all the others. I do not know the name of the young lady who was shmering away at the machine up stairs. But I could not help from shouting when I saw her working that machine which makes news; type; and everything else. We are coming up Back to Washington. I met Mrs. Mabel A. Bailey, who is connected with the National Training School for girls. She is doing good work. Then off for Petersburg, and I shall not be able to say a word about. Petersburg. I had several letters from friends in Baltimore. I will be in the office next week, and shall be delighted to see them. I will call on some of them. I am booked to talk to the Y. M. C. A. people in Washington. Wednesday night, and no, there I go to Baltimore, spending Sunday in Chester, with Dr. J. R. Bennett. J. O. NIDIGHT PASTOR HONORED Washington, April 18.—The closing of the conference年夜 at St. Paul A.M. E. Church on last Sunday and Monday nights was a most brilliant success. On Sunday night the pastor preached to a crowded house. Seventy-three new members who have joined the church under the present administration marched into the church singing "Onward Christian Soldiers" and took the front seats. The pastor preached a powerful sermon upon the "Gospel Ship." At the close of the sermon the pastor of Metropolitan A.M. E. Zion Church and over one hundred of his members marched in the church to greet the pastor, Rev. David Johnson, and gave him a royal send off to conference. A large collection was taken. The Sunday School of Zion Baptist Church sent a purse of $3,000 through its superintendent, Charles Walker, as a token of their appreciation of Rev. Johnson. On Monday night one of the finest receptions ever given a pastor in this city was tendered Rev. Johnson. A large audience was present. Dr. J. P. Turner, the oldest son of the late Bishop Turner, was master of ceremonies. A purse containing $40,00 a new hat and a basket of grocery were given to the pastor by the several clubs of the church. The Taulers of Allen, through their president, Mrs. Eliza Cooper, presented Mrs. Johnson a handsome shirt waist. In the absence of Mrs. Johnson, who has been quite sick for several weeks, Rev. Johnson responded in a neat speech. The ministers of the city were present and spoke in the highest terms of Rev. Johnson and his excellent work. In making the presentations, Mrs. Thompson represented the Sunday School, Mr. P. P. Turner represented the church, Mrs. Harriett Smith, the Mite Missionary, and Mrs. Elliz Cooper, the daughters of Allen. Each were loud in the praises of the excellent character and work of Rev. Johnson. Nearly $3,000 have been collected during the year. The membership greatly increased, all conference claims met in full, pastor paid up in full. The church and the people at large are praying for the return of Rev. Johnson. He is regarded by the people of Washington as a fine preacher, and crowds flock to hear him. THE WEEKLY SERMON Elder G. P. Rodgers "The Priesthood and the Sanctuary" When GOD called Moses up in the mount (Ex. 24:12) He let down a picture of the great sanctuary of the LORD (Teremiah 17:12) that Moses might make a pattern for Israel, Ex. 25:8-9. The people were to understand the ways of the LORD as they were enacted in a figure, by Holy Priest, daily services and beautiful symbols. The people were to understand that Christ the true lamb and sacrifice was to die for the sins of the faithful—this lesson being taught in the offering of innocent animals for guilty man. Then the people were also to realize that the great High Priest, Jesus Christ, would plead, and HE alone would plead, for the sins of the people—this was unde plain when the earthly priest took blood and went into the Most Holy part of the sanctuary and there before the mercy seat sought pardon for the penitent who was outside praying. In this manner the law governing the sanctuary became a school master to Israel and Israel daily was taught the important things about CHRIST. The greatest service was held on the tenth day of the seventh month. Lev. 23:23-29 and Lev. 16:1-30. When Israel were to understand that at a definite time in the end of all gospel services, Christ would offer HIS own blood for the sins of the repentant, but not in a earthly building, Heb. 9:24-26, but in heaven itself, there to appear before GOD the great judge in behalf of the sorrowful for sins. Now at the death of Christ on the cross all the earthly services, as pertaining to the sanctuary, forever ceased, the daily services were useless/Heb. 7:27) The sacred portions of the sanctuary were exposed to the eyes of all men, when the veil of the temple was rent in twain—Matt. 27:51. And now all eyes are turned to the real priest, the true priest, Jesus Christ. Now all eyes are turned to heaven itself for the earthly sanctuary service has been transferred to heaven. The greatest service is the closing one, of which we will speak later. Advt. Take STRENGTH & LIFE and give it to the children before becoming sick and it will PREVENT Tuberculosis.

For 17 years I was tormented with a terrible skin disease which the doctors called ECZEMA. It set me at times almost crazy from itching. During those years, I went to hospitals and tried about 30 doctors without relief. The disease never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell, the specialist, 1360 N. Carey street, Baltimore. Md. He treated me seven months and I am now completely cured. If anyone happens to suffer with such awful skin disease, go to Dr Campbell, who, I believe, can cure anything a person was not born with, and he is, to my mind, the best doctor in the world. MRS.

This makes a Ue score, Bal- timore having defeated the visitors in Washington on February 2ind. ‘fhe ue will probably he played off on May ith. The only local cucist to come out 4 winner was Maurice Mitchell, who had an easy time in disposing of John Watkins to the tune of 100 te 27. Watkins seemed a fittle excited ind was unable to play in anything like his usual form.” Mitchell, on the other hand, was invincibic and the ame woulé have lacked interest but for his faultless plaF=ns. Maurice Clifford sermed to have an easy time with Lioyd Smith and the score. 100 to 57 shows just how un- even the game was. Smith, who started off in Sine shape, fell down fla~ after the first few frames and could not make a “eripple.” It was the on- ly instunce of “stage-fright” exhibited during the evening. — Cliford played Fingx xround him when he saw that his opponent was “wobbly.” The closest match of the evening and the most. exciting. was furnished by William Lynch and H. Smith, the Jatter winning by a xeore of 100 to Sb. Smith seemed to have.a hard time to get started and Lynch had a good chenee to pile ap a good lead. but this was overcome later in the same by better ceneralship. Again in with the score $3 to $0.in favor of Smith, with the palls open Lynch had a goud chance to close up. on his opponent but he was not equal to the occasion and fell down after running six balls. & tournament will take p.ace among the players of the local Association during the coming week and the win- ners will be chosen to represent the Ascociation when the games will be played with the Washingten: boys that will decide the championship of the two cities. TO HOLD BlG OUTDOOR MEET Local Athletes Preparing for One of the Biggest Sport- ing Events Ever Held in This City. What will doubtless be the biggest outdoor track and field meet that has ever been held in this city is now he- ing planned by a committee of ath- letic enthusiasts under the leadership Of secretury §. S. Booker of the ¥. M. The idea of the'nieet which origin- ated with Mr. Booker has met with the spontaneous approval of leading workers in athletic circles in this cits and they have combined their efforis to make this event the largest in point of numbers, and general interest ever held in this city. Xot only will this meet give local athletes an opportunity to demon- strate thelr skill in competition with their fellow townsmen, but they will likewise have a chance to match their physical prowess with out-of-town competitors, who Will be invited te enter the meet. The meet will be held on May 12th. at Carroll Park, which is the most admirably fitted of all the city parks, for the holding of such a big athletiz event. The dash track has a straigh- a-way of over 100 yards, while the circular track is ubout 4 ‘laps to the mile, The pit for the shot put men, together with the Jumping apparatus, make the park mos? conveniently suited to the needs of the athictes, Those who enzer the n-ect will be divided into two classes: Graded choo] boys, and men from the city clubs, ovt-of-tawn clubs, Hish Schools and Calleges. For the former there will be the 50, 60, 70. und probably 100 yard dashes; §S0-yard relay. and in” the filed events. the running - broad, and running high jump.

LOCAL HIGH QUINT LOSES TO ARMSTRONG, After battling back and forth for forty minutes over the basketnall euge ‘Armstrong Technical High School, of Washington. D. C., emergea victorious over the Hich Schoo) of this city. in one of the grimest struggles ever wit- nessed on a local field. The came was dilled as a championship game, for the championship of the Maryland and District of Columbia. and both teams proved themselves worthy as- pirants for that title. While the vic- tory of the visitors was a glorious one. the defeat of the locals Was no 1e3s glorious for they fought nd contest: ed every Inch of ground, and it wis a nip-and-tuck battle until the fast four <ninutes of play, when repeated fouls by the High School gave the in- falliable Smith. of Armstrong the op- portunities for boosting the score for his team with unerring free throws. Butler, and Smith, the former of the locais. and the latter of visiting team. were the stars of the game, the former securing 17 of the 18 points for his team, and the latter garnering 16 of the 24 points that were scored by Armstrong. Butler's playing was of an exceptionally. high order that has not been witnessed on «t local fiel this season. Closely guacded by the best cuards Armstrong could produce and followed by the entire team at tines, he frequerily came from under cover, and scored shots from the most impossible angles, and whin callei on to do ais “hit” on the foul line came across with the “free pusses" when they were most nee a. “Chippy” Taylor drew Sret blvd for the locals with a tree shot, which started the crowd of Bich | Scheel rooters yelling wildly, The visitors scored an easy field goa) aid stepped into the lead.: From thea until the end of the first half it was “cheek by jow).” with the ‘visitors @ scant two points in the lead 20-8. ‘The second half fund the speed of the visitors Increased ulnost to 2 whirlwind, and they almost bewilder- ed the locals at times, but as a rule they coo! under fire. and while Taylor missed many. of his atter.pts Butle: seemed to shoct with almust uncanny surety. Lyles and Jackson played sterile games at the goal, and the one cog that seemed to slip was Gee. Gee, the great center who had outjumped everything the local teams could pre- duce; Gee, who always played his hardest and best; Gee, their captain, tailed and failed miserably. His stern- uous efforts in @ tennis game the day previous, when his comrades were en- deavoring to prepare for the coming fray in a practice. sume at the hali, seemed to have incapacited him for the greatest opportunity his team had had this season; and in a Jarze meas- ure his team's defeat was due to his favity playing. In spite of this however the game was clean.’ fast, hard. and one that thrilled the heart of the 1ncst ardent lovers of the game. und they went home satisfied that they had seen a real championship game. ___ THE’ AFRO-AMERICAN BUSINESS DIRECTORY —_—_——_—_——— THE WHITE; JOHN A.
