$\textcircled{1}$ 1500 NEGROES LEAVING GEORGIA EVERY WEEK Editor Murphy Tells of Frightful Conditions Existing In That Hot Bed Of Segregation And Jim-Crowism. THOUSANDS OF ACRES GOING TO WASTE Unprecedented Exodous Causes Dearth Of Labor On Southern Plantations. Farmers Seeking The Freedom Of The North. Atlanta, Ga. May 2—If there is any one question agitating the minds of the colored Georgian more than another it is the question of migration. Among the leading men it is almost a universal topic, and when come one from the border, Northern, Eastern or Western states happens to drop down here, almost the first question is "What about our people in the North?" And when North is said it means anywhere outside of what is generally regarded as the strictly Southern States. Maryland is generally included among the Northern States. And no wonder this is the topic when it is known that hundreds are leaving this State every day. A conservate estimate is that fifteen hundred leave this State weekly. They crowd the stations, especially Saturdays and Saturday nights, and leave for every section of the North, East and West, many going as far west as California. Efforts by way of intimidation are being made to keep them from leaving, in many instances going so far as to arrest them on "trumped up" frivolous charges. But if they are prevented from leaving any point in the daytime, they slip off at night and travel miles to another station, so determined are they to be off. THE CAUSES Men who are In a position to know tell with almost bated breath, and in strict seclusion of their homes, or places where their is no likelihood of being heard, of atrocities that rival anything being done in France or Belgium. Numbers of cases that never come to public light, are related of men and women driven from their homes, shot down, lynched and beaten to death. There are, possibly, thousands of cases of peonage in this State of which the government is, or appears to be, absolutely ignorant. Not a Negro sits on a jury anywhere in Georgia, and when it comes to justice in a court, it is a thing almost unknown. Many instances are known in this State of madridates sitting in judgement, who are so ignorant that they cannot write their own names. For a Negro to get into court simply means that he is on his way to punishment (in most cases, whether he is innocent or guilty.) If they cannot find the guilty party, then some innocent Negro must suffer. I have been told that not only men and boys are frequently insulted, but girls and women as well, and it is not infrequent that the faces of young girls and women are slapped by conductors on the street cars. "Jimcrow" conditions prevail here everywhere. Even in the court house one finds "drinking water for colored people" and "drinking water for white people." Witness rooms have signs "for white people" and "for colored people." Everywhere you go you are made to understand that you are to keep off the white man's grass. Is it any wonder that the colored people are leaving a condition of this kind and looking for a country where these discriminating conditions do not exist? Today there are thousands upon thousands of acres of land that lie untouched by the plow. I rode for miles and saw thousands of acres and not a single hand in the fields anywhere. Many of the people are just gathering up a few personal belongings and getting out, more especially where it is not possible to sell their goods. In some cases one hears of families who have accumulated some property, being unable to sell because of their going to leave for the North. Of course there is nothing to do, then but to abandon, in many instances, a life's saving and get out. Many of these people have their tickets and places to go, but many more have not. It is generally conceded that the exodus has just begun and no one is willing to prophecy as to the future. A few of the Southern newspapers have discussed the matter and then let it drop. They have not put any steam behind it, and the colored people generally do not believe that they are sincere. At best there seems to be no serious consideration of the matter save a communication now and then to the papers advocating the arrest of Negroes under the vagrant act and sending them to the farms. Some are advocating the sending of house servants for several days in the week to the farm—advocating a system of peonage or new slavery. The opinion is prevalent that should the exodus keep up (and no end can be seen at present) there will be some step of this kind taken. It seems to be impossible for the average Southerner to get it into his head that kind and considerate treatment of the Negro might help a great deal. Repression seems to be the only thing in his mind, and like the Egyptian of old, he is impressed that the only way to treat with the Negro is to make his task the harder, and thus either kill him or drive him away. The latter will most possibly be the effect. There is, however, a small class of colored people here, who are giving very little attention to the matter, and that is the class which is living and thriving by exploiting the Negro. A number of the better and progressive class are telling the people if they think they can do better to go, but some of them are not talking it out loud. The class that is courageous enough to tell the white man the truth is small. Notwithstanding all this, I am led to believe, if this war should continue for a year or two, and the United States should get into it with both feet, there will come about better conditions in the South. The Southern white man will be compelled by force of circumstances to better the condition of the Negro or see his fields go untiled and his home deserted of servants. Perhaps, after his pocket book is touched and touched deeply, to the extent of a large falling off in his crops, the closing down of his manufacturing interests, he will possibly realize conditions as he has never yet realized them. The case is not entirely hopeless. If the white man has it in his head that climatic and other conditions will make the Negro return to the South, he has reckoned without his host. A few may return, but those going now have counted the cost and will never return unless conditions in the South are materially changed. I have spoken at several meetings one at Morris Brown College to the students and one and all are eager to hear what their brethren and sisters are doing in the North and the conditions surrounding them. REV. CHURCHMAN BURIED Orange. N. J.. May 2—The funeral of Rev. James E. Churchman, widely known in civic affairs, was held at Union Baptist Church Thursday of last week. The deceased died Monday of last week from kidney trouble. He was a delegate to the Roosevelt Progressive Convention in 1912 and was connected with a number of race organizations. Dr. Churchman was born in Virginia 43 years ago. He was a nephew of Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, of Baltimore, Md. COMMENCEMENT Lincoln University Cancels Closing Exercises on Account of the War. Oxford, Pn. May 4—Owing to the pressing necessity of immediate service in this grave crisis of our country, and in response to the request of the State Board of Education of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, that students of the schools, colleges and universities volunteer to work on the farm, because of the world's need for food produce, and also that they aid in the preparation of roads; the Senior Class of Lincoln University, pledging their loyalty and support decided Saturday. April 5th, after keen discussion, to cancel commencement exercises. The class had planned a very elaborate program, in fact, the best in the annals of the university. Yet to answer a very grave need in a momentus crisis, the members made this exceeding great sacrifice of cancelling the commencement and offering their services to their country. TO TRAIN COLORED OFFICERS Fort Huachuca, May 4—Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young will have charge of a training school for officers for members of the Tenth Cavalry. WHITES OPPOSE SITE FOR M ORGAN Declare Property Values Will Depreciate If the School is Located in Their Another manifestation of hostility on the part of the white people to prevent, if possible, any expansion on the part of colored people is manifested in the protest that residents of Lauraville are making against the location of Morgan College on the old Ivy Mills property, on the Hillen road. A number of the residents gathered together Tuesday night and professed to see dire results should the college and a high class residential district for colored people be located on the property. A number of the kickers declared their intention of visiting the college and lodging a protest against its location in the suburbs. Several automobiles drew up in front of the college at Edmondson and Fulton avenues, Wednesday, and the occupants went in to see Dr. J. O. Spencer, president of the college. President Spencer invited the delegation into the chapel and soon he and Dean Pickens were hearing the various tales of woe. Frederick Evans, president of the Lauraville Improvement Association, headed the delegation. He and Henry P. Mann, Albert Strobel, Bradley K. Firdman, Charles E. Dobler, Elmer Weishelt and Frederick Kohler argued that the location of the college at Lauraville meant depreciation of the property values of the whites. Someone suggested that the building of the Union Protestant Infirmary on Division street be secured for the future home. The regular buncombe about the presence of colored residents depreciating property values, was gone into as is usual on such occasions when "influential white citizens protest against invasion of their property by Negroes." President Spencer told the delegation that the trustees of the college would have secured a still better location had it not been for the breaking out of the European war. He said inquiries had been made in other cities only to find out that property near colored colleges always increased in value. The delegation left, saying that a protest would be lodged with the trustees of the college. And as if their visit were of the heroic sort and thus their faces entitled to be stamped on the pages of time, they stood in front of the college building and were photographed for a white newspaper. Morgan College is now located in a strictly white neighborhood and has been since 1880. Not only has no friction been in evidence on account of its location, but property values have not depreciated. A meeting of the trustees of the school will be held probably the first week in June at which time the delegation will have an opportunity to rehearse their grievances. May be a Military Camp - May be Not. Washington. May 3—A military training camp for colored officers and troopers seems to be a thing that may come or else may not. As was exclusively told in last week's Afro-American. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, Moorefield W. Story, of Boston, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Roy Nash, secretary of the Association; Archibald H. Grimke, president of the local branch; Prof. T. M. Gregory; Prof. George W. Cook, Dean Kelly Miller, Whitfield McKinley, J. A. Cobb and James W. Robinson called on Secretary of War Baker last Friday and asked that Major General Wood be authorized to invite 300 colored men to Plattsburg or some other camp. Secretary Baker replied that he could not do this at this time, but that his department it was seriously considering the whole question and was committed to the plan for a colored training camp. A way would be found, he asserted, not offensive to the colored people. Dr. Spingarn spoke for the delegation. Dr. Spingarn is still working away at the project, and all who would attend a military training camp may send their names to him at 70 Fifth avenue, New York City. FORMER TUSKEGEE CAPTAIN EMBARRASED WAR LORDS. New York, May 4—A former captain of cadets at Tuskegee, whose name could not be learned, has caused the Army officials in this city some concern. He passed all requirements for admission to the Officers Reserve Training Camp to be held at Plattsburg, N. Y., May 14, and would be admitted except for the order of the War Department that no colored men may receive training in white camps. The officials here could find no technical reasons for refusing the former captain and therefore accepted him and sent him to the War Department at Washington to make further disposition of the case. "JIM-CROW" NEGRO IN THE U. S. ARMY Congress Passes Bill Providing For Separate Enlistment of White and Colored Soldiers. Washington, May 3—There is lots of talk about the spreading of the principles of democracy nowadays. Congressmen, Senators, Cabinet Officers and even the President are surcharged with democratic feelings. The commission from France and England praise the entrance of the United States into the world war as a master stroke for the democratization of the world. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, in his exhuberance over the way the people greeted the huge war loan calls it a "liberty loan"—one in the interest of the equality of man. More than two hundred congressmen, including Southerners and Coady and Linthicum, of Maryland, signed a cablegram asking that the British government grant Home Rule to Ireland. But this epidemic of democracy seems to have nothing in contemplation for the ten million Negroes of the United States. Southern Congress men, for the most part, are strongly opposed to any program which includes the same rights for colored citizens as are enjoyed by others. THE ARMY BILL Though the Negro is included in the program for universal army training, the measure provides: "White and colored enlisted or enrolled men shall not be organized in or assigned to the same company, battalion or regiment." Thus democracy is shattered in one instance as far as the colored man is concerned by providing "jimcrow" troops. Then there has been the almost futile effort of Dr. Spingarn to secure military training for colored officers. The dates for training camps for the whites have been practically chosen but Dr. Spingarn and his delegation were told at the War Department last Friday that a camp for colored men was favored but no date had been set for the same. The talk of disloyalty on the part of the colored people has been found to be a myth, and leaders of the government have no fear of treasonable acts on the part of colored people. Colored troopers are seen about the White House, the State, War and Navy Building, and other places, thus indicating the spirit of confidence. With all this apparent hostility on the part of those in authority to any plan for worldwide democracy which gives the American Negro full rights, race leaders here are awaiting the general meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which takes place at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church week after next. It is hoped that the Association will initiate some program which will grip the attention of the country. Moorefield Story, of Boston, president of the Association, was here a few days ago, to argue against the validity of the Louisville Segregation ordinance. He and Dr. Spingarn had talks with a number of men regarding conditions as they affect the Negro. In a nutshell: Not only colored Washington, but the whole country is looking anxiously to see what the world-wide democratic trend will mean for the American Negro. Mid-year Meeting Of Federated Women. Annapolis, Md., May 3—The Maryland Federation of Christian Women held their mid-year meeting at Asbury M. E. Church, Friday of last week. Rev. E. S. Williams is pastor of the church. A large and enthusiastic delegation was present from Baltimore. The meeting was a success from every point of view. Mrs. King welcomed the visiting delegates in behalf of the Sterling Club of this city and Mrs. Mason A. Hawkins in her response, touched upon many points of interest along historical lines. Many and various were the reports coming from the clubs. Many delegates from the various organizations of the white federation attended both the afternoon and evening sessions. The interest they manifested in the discussions and the counsel they gave along the lines of preparedness and economics were inspiring. Mrs. Stevenson and Mrs. Blodgett delivered addresses at the morning session while Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Morse delivered addresses at the evening session. The principal address was delivered by Miss Ida R. Cummings, the president of the Federation, which was listened to with rapt attention. The Federation decided to maintain a bed in Provident Hospital, Baltimore for charity. Many very important resolutions were adopted. The delegates were royally entertained by the Sterling Club. FIRST 'BABY WEEK' A GREAT SUCCESS Few Imperfections Found In the Large Number of Babies Examined by the The first "Baby Week" ever observed generally among the colored people of Baltimore came to an end with a meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church Friday night when twelve prizes of $2.50 each will be distributed. The prizes are six to the best babies under one year of age and six to the best between one and two years of age. The speakers at the closing meeting included Mrs. Francis King Carey, Dr. B. M. Rhetta, Dr. Mary Sherwood and Dr. Nock. A demonstration of baby care was given by a nurse. A meeting for the mothers of the central district was held at Grace Presbyterian Church. Friday afternoon. A number of babies were examined and take given on baby care. Owing to the uncertainty about getting Macedonia Baptist Church, the attendance was small Thursday. Mrs. Mary F. Handy was on hand to cheer the mothers and Dr. McRae examined the babies. The afternoon and evening meetings at Ames Memorial Church Wednesday were well attended. Over a score of babies were examined by Dr. B. M. Rhetta and Dr. McRae. Interesting addresses were delivered by Mrs. Annie Simms Johnson and Mrs. Mary F. Handy. An afternoon meeting was held at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church Tuesday and Dr. J. Guy Boley and Dr. H. Stanton McCard carefully looked over the little ones. Dr. J. C. Robinson had charge of the examinations Monday afternoon. An interesting program was presented at night at which the proper care of babies was urged and methods for baby care discussed. Mrs. Annie Simms Johnson was the principal speaker at the meeting at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Thursday at afternoon. A number of mothers from the Northern section of the city were in attendance. Much of the success of the week's work fell upon the shoulders of Mrs. Annie Simms Johnson, Mrs. Mary F. Fanny and other ladies who worked ardently to interest mothers all over the city in a campaign for "Better Babies." The mothers who evinced interest came from all walks of life and indicated that much could be done for better infant life when those interested started or cooperated in a general movement looking there-to. Emphasize Loyalty And Preparedness. Hampton, Va., May 2—Preparedness, loyalty, and racial good will were emphasized throughout the 49th Hampton Institute anniversary celebration, which closed Friday with the presentation to the Board of Trustees by Rev. Dr. Francis G. Peabody, of Cambridge, of ninety-eight candidates for diplomas and certificates. William Jay Schieffelin, of New York, a trustee, spoke on the Negroes opportunity to serve the nation in the present crisis, and expressed his confidence in the Negroes' ability and willingness in a selective draft to go forward in the spirit of Hampton to cheerful self-sacrifice. Dr. Peabody said of Mr. Taft president of the Hampton Board of Trustees: "By the logic of events he has been promoted to the enviable position of the best-loved living American." Mr. Taft's declaration at the community meeting of preparedness called by Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, that the loyalty and service of Negroes in the present crisis would make the colored race valued by all the citizens, was received with great enthusiasm. Homer L. Ferguson, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding Company, declared that those who were robbing the South of Negro farm laborers were doing what was unworthy and unpatriotic. Improving the attendance of Negro boys at their work as riveter helpers had increased the output of his shipyard four cargo ships each year. Dr. Frissell in his annual principal's report said that preparedness for service was the keynote at Hampton. He announced that the faculty had decided to enlarge the institute with a new auditorium, more dining room space, more dormitories, additional class rooms and a larger church. The Rev. Chester B. Emerson, of Detroit, was elected a member of the Hampton Board of Trustees. Alexander B. Trowbridge, of New York, brought to the anniversary a special party of eighty men and women representing important business and social interests. PRICE 3 CENTS BETHEL WELCOMES PASTOR BROOKS A Large Congregation Greets New Pastor and Extend to Him a Very Cordial Reception. Rev. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, the new pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church was given a warm greeting when he made his initial appearance before the congregation last Sunday. The main auditorium of the church was completely filled while the galleries were very nearly filled, a thing that has not happened at the church very many Sunday mornings in late times. Worn out by the long journey from Wichita, Kansas, Dr. Brooks was not at his best, but he delivered a strong sermon nevertheless. The congregation listened with rapt attention, and when the plates were passed at the conclusion of the exhortation, $111 was secured. Many greeted the new pastor at the close of the service, and the general opinion seemed to pervade that he was the right man for the right place. At the evening service nearly $50 was taken. What Dr. Brooks intends to be his introductory sermon will be preached this Sunday morning and a large congregation is expected. "It has been twenty-four years since I was last in Baltimore." said Dr. Brooks to a reporter of the Afro-American. "I was educated at Morgan College and formed many firm friendships while there. I am glad to be back here, and if the people rally behind me, will try to make Bethel Church what all Baltimore would have it to be. When it was suggested that he had left a field where less work was required as a minister for one of infinite labor and worry, Dr. Brooks smiled and replied: "I am a Methodist minister and there is no large duty that I would shirk, nor any small one. All I ask is the cooperation of the people. If the people of Baltimore aid me in my work, I believe that my pastorate at Bethel Church will be a successful one." The foregoing was uttered in a quiet manner and without any air of the braggart. But it was spoken by a man who has been eminently successful as a pastor in Minneapolis, Chicago, DeMaines, Nashville and St. Louis, and who had only been at Wichita six months when transferred here. Under the caption "Honor to Whom Honor is due," the St. Louis Argus paid him the following editorial tribute last Saturday: "The transfer of Dr. W. Sampson Brooks from St. Paul 'A. M. E. Church, Wichita, Kans., to Big Bethel Baltimore, Md., is a fitting testimonial to the worth of a deserving man, whose life work is consecrated to the ministry. Dr. Brooks will long be remembered by St. Louisans for sterling Christian character as well as the material good he had accomplished while pastor of St. Paul Chapel in this city. When he came to St. Louis-St. Paul was laboring under a heavy burden of debt, but under his able guidance this debt was lifted in a record breaking rally which netted over $7000. 590 VOLUNTEER FOR TRAINING AS OFFICERS Washington, D. C., May 4—Representative Madden told a committee of students from Howard University that the policy of the German Emperor made it necessary to send at least one hundred thousand colored men among the army of one million that is to go to the French front. For such an army at least two thousand colored officers would be required. Efforts to obtain five hundred volunteers for an Officers Reserve Training Camp have had the following results: (Howard University ..... 186 Hampton Institute ..... 150 Virginia Union University ..... 112 Lincoln University ..... 60 Virginia N. & I. Institute ..... 44 Morgan College, Baltimore ..... 38 Total 590 Reports from universities and colleges farther South are not yet in, but indications are that Fisk, Atlanta, Biddle, Wilberforce and the other institutions will bring the total up to one thousand volunteers. It is expected that Representative Madden and other representatives will use these names to force the War Department to establish a separate Officers Reserve Training Camp for colored men. AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS G. Hall Brown, a youngster of six years, was struck by an automobile on Monday and seriously injured. He was carried to the Provident Hospital where he still confined. Edgar Stanley, while running a motorcycle on Sunday, ran into an automobile and received a number of painful cuts and bruises. He is now at the Provident Hospital.

With conscription staring males from 19 to 27 in the face, why should we not have real preparedness in the establishment of military drill in the high school. No action on the part of the School Board is necessary for the principal to make a start in this direction. It looks very much like Colonel Roosevelt will yet get congressional approval for raising 100,000 volunteers for service in France. In that case he will have 10,000 colored soldiers along to help him should he get in a tight place again. IN AMERICA AND IN FRANCE The French Minister of State, Viviani, who is now in this country in the interest of urging America to take active participation in the war, by sending men to the trenches, represents the only country among the allies that knows how to treat its colored citizens. The blessings of "Liberty, equality and fraternity" which the French citizenry won in the memorable revolution of 1789 have been actually enjoyed by every Frenchman whether he is European or African. Every man in France is a Frenchman first and then afterwards white or black. The black statesmen in the National French House of Deputies are in every way socially, economically and politically the equals of their brethren, and the black soldiers of France—were it not for these dark-skinned heroes, Sengeles, Algerians and the rest, French resistance before Verdun would have been much weaker, and perhaps there would be another tale altogether to tell of that struggle in eastern France—have served their country in loyalty as black men know how. It is easy to imagine the feelings of Minister Vivani as he sat in the Supreme Court of the United States last week. He came as the guest of Mr. Justice White and the case under discussion was the Louisville Segregation Ordinance. Minister Vivani came to America because he understood the government of President Wilson was anxious to establish the freedom of all peoples of the world, and here he found that America had not yet settled the question as to whether one-tenth of its population was deserving of this same kind of freedom. His surprise and consternation are easily imaginable, and yet he could offer no word of criticism or of protest without endangering the cause that now means so much to France. And so he sat through it all with a smile of admiration at the splendid arguments of Mr. Moorefield Story, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Sometimes the mouth curved, seemingly in contempt of the whole procedure, in scorn at this mock democracy that is distinctly and exclusively American. It is difficult to say what Minister Vivani's thoughts were as he left the court room. Most likely he had hopes that while the United States is teaching Germany international morality, France will utilize the preregative of an ally in teaching the United States what real democracy means. WHO ARE THE AUTOCRATS? One of the most important results of the great world war is going to be the better understanding among the peoples of the opposing nations, and another is bound to be the better understanding among the allies themselves. The Teutonic nations are barbaric. England and her confederates have been saying this for some three years, and when President Wilson reiterated it in his declaration of war before the assembled houses of Congress, America entered the war on the side of the allies, to teach the Germans that their autocratic governmen is wrong, and that the autocratic dictum of "Necessity knows no law" is wrong. we have no hatred of the German people, not they, but their ruler is responsible for their present plight. From semi-official sources it has gone out over the world that if the German people will dispose of their Kaiser, and establish instead some form of Democratic government, the United States will take immediate steps toward peace. The United States believes that peace will be more lasting if the end of the war finds Germany a republic, than if the Hohenzollerns remain on the throne—the only autocrats among the world's republican rulers. The Afro-American has pointed out before in these columns that America needed to do a little house cleaning of its own before carrying bucket and broom across three thousand miles of ocean. Perhaps this realization will only come in the prosecution of the war. It is only to be hoped that it will come soon. JIM CROW CAMP? MAYBE. THAT, OR NOTHING. When a committee consisting of Dr. J. E. Spingarn, Professors Kelly Miller, George William Cook and the Hon. Archibald H. Grimke visited the War Department to talk with Secretary Baker about training camps for colored officers, Dr. Spingarn, who was greatly discouraged, remarked that the situation was very unfavorable unless the War Department could be gotten to change its mind. The committee went first with the proposition first to have the regular camps opened to colored men, and falling in this to urge the establishment of a separate segregated camp. Secretary Baker replied immediately that the first proposal was out of the question, but that he would take up the second with the General Staff as soon as possible. Dr. Spingarn is said also to have made the request for a fimcrow section of perhaps one hundred men in the camps at Fort Meyer or Plattsburg. This also will be considered by the Secretary of War. Secretary Baker is reported to have told the committee that personally he was opposed to the separation of the whites and Blacks in Officers' Reserve Training Camps, but that as Secretary of War he is not there to solve the race problem but to accept things as they are and utilize them to the best advantage. Up until now no word has been received from the War Department and it continues to look doubtful from this source. Happily, the university students of Howard showed themselves more active and resourceful than their elders. After an exciting meeting in which the resolution published in last week's issue of the Afro-American, was discussed, a committee of students, armed with a petition signed by one hundred men who were willing to join an Officers Reserve Military Training Camp, went to Congress to have the matter taken up there. Representatives Madden, Foss and others were wholly unaware of this exclusion of colored men from training camps, urged them to bring in five hundred names instead of one hundred, and promised to use their influence with the War Department through Congress. Within twenty-four hours several students were on the way to Lincoln, Hampton, and other institutions in the effort to get the five hundred applications. Up until Wednesday night 111 men from Hampson and 56 men from Lincoln Indicated their willingness to join a camp. With the 100 Howard men, the total is therefore, 267, and Atlanta, Biddle, Union and Fisk Universities, Morgan and Moorehouse Colleges are yet to be heard from. There is little doubt that the energy and resourcefulness of these Howard University Students will be rewarded with the five hundred signatures needed. What Congressmen, favorable to equal rights, will be able to accomplish, is problematical, but there is yet hope that the matter will be settled right. WHERE HONOR IS DUE. Be it known that we the Board of trustees of Grace Presbyterian Church do hereby express our gratitude to our ex-trustee, Mr. W. A. Jones, for his most excellent service as secretary of the Trustee Board. The following resolutions voice the sentiment not only of the trustees, but of the entire church, in expressions of thankfulness and hearty appreciation to Mr. W. A. Jones for his admirable service: Resolved: That the Trustee Board feels very keenly the absence of so competent a member. His experience made him sagacious and authoritative helpful. Be it further resolved that we have fond recollections of his presence as secretary but deep regret for his absence. Resolved, That for his service so excellently rendered, we have individual and collective gratitude unstinted and durable. And finally we Resolve that his absence from the Trustee Board does not mean a lack of interest in the same, but is the result of new duties which preclude his choice of action. Therefore we honor him, and trust that his future usefulness as member of Grace Presbyterian Church may be worthy of his honored services in the past. Respectfully submitted by Commit teemen: W. H. McABEE W. JONES H. E. CALDWELL, Secretary. THE AFRO-AMERICAN School Principal Commended on Pa- trium and Respect of Pupils. When the children attending the school on South Caroline street leave the building at the closing hour a teacher stands at the gate and holds an American flag. As each scholar passes the flag is given the salute. It is a unique custom, and one that, perhaps, prevails in no other school in the city. The other day, General John R. King, at one time commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, was passing the school and saw the little brown boys and girls as they sedately walked by the flag and gave the salute. So deeply was he touched by the spectacle that he sent the following letter to Principal Daniel C. Credit. Brown's Wharf, April 27 To the Principal, School, Caroline St. near Bank. Going up Caroline street yesterday I witnessed a scene which thrilled my heart. As the car passed your school the children were being dismissed. A teacher stood at the gateway holding flag, and as each boy passed of he reverently uncovered and each girl saluted the flag. I ques- tion if there is another school in the city where this beautiful custom pre- views. I want to congratulate and com- mand you. You are doing a splendid work in instilling patriotism and respect for the flag in the minds of the young boys and girls committed to your care. This country, however, has nothing to fear from its colored men; no hyphen bridges their citizenship—no colored man ever assassinated a President, no colored man ever blew up a mumition plant, no colored man plotted to blow up bridges. I have seen their patriotism tested in the sixties. I fought side by side with them in the dreadful Wilderness Campaign; a boy raised in our family, the son of my good old black mammy sealed his devotion to that flag you are teaching your children to respect, with his life's blood. I shall speak of this incident at every Grand Army Post I visit. "God bless you, and keep you and cause His face to shine on you" is the wish of a 73 year old veteran of the Civil War. Respectfully JOHN R. KING. Annual Meeting of St. Lukes The Independent Order of St. Luke of this city held their annual meeting at Psalmiist Baptist Church last Sunday, and large crowds were present at the two services, one at 3:30 in the afternoon and the other at night. The principal speaker at both meetings was Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of Richmond, Va., the right worthy grand secretary and treasurer of the order and only woman president of a bank in this country. The welcome address was delivered by Mrs. Elizabeth Spriggs, and the speaker was introduced by the pastor, Rev. Junius Gray, Rev. W. J. Winston of Wayland University, also spoke briefly. Following the address of Mrs. Walker ex-Congressman Murray, of South Carolina delivered an excellent address in the course of which praised the work of Mrs. Walker, and commended her for her efforts along the line of racial uplift, Mr. Howard Gross, a teacher in the local schools, gave a short but interesting talk. Mrs. Walker delivered another of her famous addresses at the Sharon Baptist Church on Monday night to an overflowing audience. The pastor of the church, Rev. W. M. Alexander, is himself a staunch member of the order, and it was due largely to his efforts that the meeting was so largely attended. Mrs. Walker again gave a brief history of the struggles of the order during its fifty years of existence and of the wonderful work that had been accomplished. Mrs. Mary E. Collins, State Deputy, presided and the following program was carried out; Scripture lesson, Rev. James Gayles; music by the choir; welcome address by Mrs. Octavia Parker; response by Miss S. R. Jackson; solo, Miss Lula Green; introductory remarks by the pastor, following which came the address by Mrs. Walker. Rev. Junius Gray, who brought his congregation to the meeting urged the people to join the order and promised his support together with that of Dr. Alexander, to the extension of the work of the order in that section of the city. As a result of these meetings it is expected that nearly one hundred members will be initiated into the order. A reception was tendered the invited guests in the lecture room by Mrs. Annie Rice, chairman; Messrs George Gallery, Silas Carter and Mesdames Annie Scott, Julia Rogers, E. Warfield and other members of the councils. In the afternoon exercises were held by the juvenile circle. Mrs. Mamie Gallery and Mrs. A. Eotts were the matrons. A large number of the children were present and the exercises were very inspiring. Mrs. Emilie Johnson, R. W. G. Matron, of Richmond, and Mrs. Walker spoke to the children. Mrs. Walker was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers by one of the little members of the Circle. The committee in charge wishes to thank all the members and friends who in any way helped to make the meetings a success. Mrs. Mary E. Collins, State Deputy Mrs. Luvinha S. Henry, Gen'l. Sec'y. CHARLES VODERY DIES Charles F. Vodery died at his home 1725 Orleans street, Thursday of last week, following an eight month illness from paralysis. A few years ago the deceased was forced to retire from the housefurnishing business on account of blindness. Mr. Vodery was a member of various branches of the Masonic fraternity, the Order of St. Luks and had served as grand keeper of records and seal of the Maryland Grand Lodge of Knights of Tyrhins. For a number of years he had charge of the Frederick Douglas property in this city. A brother, Harry A. Vodery, and two sisters, Mrs. S. J. C. Ralph and Miss Annie Vodery, and one son, Charles, survive. Will H. Vodery, the song writer, is a nephew. Funeral services were held at the Centennial M. E. Church Monday afternoon, Revs. N. M. Carroll, S. H. Norwood, E. W. Peck, and Samuel Aquilla, presiding. Resolutions were read from the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias and a committee from that body headed by Grand Chancellor George A. Watty was present. Interment was in Laurel Cemetery. ALL READY FOR OUT-DOOR MEET With all of the athletes of the city including the semi "pros", "pros" and on down to the smallest bantum weight of the graded schools, on the jump getting ready for the big athletic meet under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. auspices, it begins to look as if Saturday will find Carroll Park dotted with not only the best that the city can produce but the pick of the trick men from Washington and New York. The big track meet promises to be a monster affair, if we are to judge by the number of boys interested both in the schools and clubs of the city. All vacant lots, alleys and school yards have become training quarters for the boys and old men. Old "vets," "has beens," and "come backs" are getting anxious about the cinder path and the final result on May 12th. Who will be the victorious lad? Who will be the second place lad? Which will be the victorious club? Which school will carry away the nonors. Search me! These in charge of training the school boys find themselves with a big job on their hands getting their boys in trim, and separating those who "have a chance" from those whose will is good but whose "flesh is wenk." The championship events will be most interesting as they will bring together the stars or the local clubs colleges and schools as well as those who will be expected to come from Howard University and New York City. The cups for the team trophy and for the individual winning the highest number of points have been secured and are now on exhibition in local drug store windows. All who contemplate entering are urged to have their blanks in before the 8th as Monday is the day set for all to be in the hands of the athletic manager at the Y. M. C. A. Building. The committee in charge have about coredited their plans and have selected the following officials for the day: Honorary refree, refreshes and timer, members of the P. A. L. Clerks of the course, Bernard Webb and Perry D. G. Pennington; track judges, R. V. Cook, S. S. Booker, H. Grafton Browne; field judges, Arnett Murphy, Harry Wade and Alvin Jones; timer, I. N. Ross; scorers, track events, W. L. Wilson, Walter Webb, Deaver Boston; announcer, James Callis; clerks, W. T. Griggs, C. M. Johnston, Parker Moors, Eugene Carter, Ralph Reckling, Gough McDaniels, J. H. Murphy, Jr., Goebert Moebeth, Howarl Wright; and Mr. Phillips. The contributors to the fund for securing metals, cups etc., for the meet are as follows: Cup donors: Y. M. C. A., Afro-American and Harry O. Wilson. Contributors: Wm. Lynch, Joseph Press, George Nickens, H. G. Browne, Dr. A. O. Reid, Elton Fax, Rev. Albert J. Mitchell, Howard E. Young, Charles S. Sanders, J.

TENDERED A SURPRISE A surprise of much pleasure was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Elias Harris of 236 West Hoffman street on last Wednesday night by the Link of 12 Circle and a few other friends.

Church, of which Mr. and Mrs. Harris are among the oldest members. Mrs. Harris is confined to her home by long affliction, yet is still of a happy disposition and full of sunshine.

Ridgid, Organizer GOLONELMIDNIGHT VISITS BALTIMORE Board Chester, Pa.—Baltimore is to have one of the greatest ministers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, who comes to Bethel A. M. E. Church. My last letter was dated from Washington and that is the capitol of the country, and there is where the plans are being made to defend our flag; and to take care of our civilians. I recall how me and General Grant made our plans from Washington and now General rGant has gone to his rest, but I am still here and will see what the boys are going to do. what the best way. Last week I attended the meeting of the Church Extension Board of the A. M. E. Church. Dr. Benjamin P. Watson is one faithful, watchful man and he is doing his part in the work without himself. He is one of the finest men I ever met. It was to me a source of pleasure to come in touch with this great man and to meet his office clerk. Miss Marie Thomas, who is a bookkeeper that can make the inventor take down his sign. She has been right there for years and knows the business just like Secretary Watson. She can run the office with ease and when Dr. Watson passes out it would pay the next man to hold of her. get hold of Dr. Watson passing out, reminds me that he is going to be kept there until he is called home. The African Methodist Episcopal Church is a business concern, and it recognizes experience and efficiency, and this is what Dr. Watson has had and he is just now prepared to serve his people and his church. He certainly knows more about churches and any living man. They have had different chairmans, different big men, but they have not changed the secretary since 1900. This is speaking well ability. for his advice. Of course I touched many men and women there. I had the pleasure of riding in the car with Dr. A. M. Curtis, who is one busy surgeon, and then I met Dr. W. H. Jerrigin, and rode in his own car at will. He toted me wherever I wanted to go and seemed to find pleasure in doing this, and I know I sound pleasure in riding with him. He is one of the leading Baptist preachers in this country and in Washington he is a busy man. I looked at him and saw how he was sought and how busy he kept all the time. all the time. He arranged for a delegation of men of my race to have a conference with Secretary of War Enter at his office. The hour was set at 9 o'clock and Dr. Jerrigan, who had charge invited me to join the delegation and toed me over in his car and we were there at the door at $35. Of course you must have a pass to get in until we could get the pass, and soon we were in the reception room of the war master of our country. He is a small man in stature, but believe he is some brainy man. me he is as we are - the reception room, yet we are not seeing the secretary yet. Pretty soon our attention was called to a fineooking man of our race, who walker in, and wanted to know the nature of our business with the Secretary, and this was explained to him. "I will get you in as soon as possible," he said. He was the chief messenger in that office. Pretty soon a white man came out and talked with the party. He was the private secretary to Secretary Baker. He said that the Secretary was one busy man, and just then he was to see pretty soon that crowd of warriors from France and England, but the men asked for 10 minutes, and he doubted that they could have that much time, and they said they would be satisfied with five minutes. "I will see what I can do for you," he said. sain. It was not long before we were ushered in the room, and I have never had a more cordial reception in my life. He seemed to recognize that a delegation of Americans were coming to see him, and he was as courteous and polite, shaking the hand of each of us, and then Dr. Jernigan started out to tell what they were there for, and presented him a document, which he said could be read later, and Dr. J. Milton Waldron was the speaker for the committee. He was rushing so fast and talking so fast until the Secretary said "take your time, and let us do this right while we are at it." He read the document and said he had read it before, and then Dr. Waldron talked right out in church, to speak. The four things which were wanted were pointed out to the Secretary of War, and he told the delegation that there was not any time to be spent over racial differences, which would adjust themselves in due time, but it was for every American to do just what he was told to do now. I tell you after they talked with that official all left feeling nappy, and that they had been in the presence of a man as men, and not as Negroes. They felt proud that they had a Secretary who would treat them alright and it was not long after we left before I bought a paper and saw it in there. I saw my name with the rest and I just bought one of them papers and almost wore it out showing people my name in a big daily paper. I have had a desire to see my name in a big paper and I have seen it and am now ready to die in peace. Getting through with Washington and after attending a lecture in the Y. M. C. A., I turned my attention to leaving town, going over to Baltimore where I was met by a cordial welcome from the Afro-American force. Mrs. L. S. Henry was full of smiles as was Miss Mabel Bourne and these two office clerks made me happy and welcome and all of this was backed up by the boss of the business office D. Arnett Murphy and then Editor Murphy, and then next I touched the father of the chapel, the head of the composing room, D. H. Murphy. This is one hard working man, and all those who are associated with him have imbbed his spirit. This young man was sittin down to a big something just like a typewriter and he was printing paper, or they called it setting, type, or something like that. Well, he was busy, and that I am sure whether I ever know the name of the kind of business. I went around just a little bit. I visited Perkins Square Baptist Church of which Rev. Frank Williams is the pastor, met him and his wife and a number of the members. They were fixing for something big at the church and then I took it over to the First Baptist Church, where I enjoyed myself, and nex found me in company with Rev. J. R. L. Diggs, at the First Baptist Church, where his students were giving a concert under Prof. Reed and Miss Ara Wilson. I went over to see Morgan College getting there in time to take breakfast with Dean William Pickens and his wife. I certainly did enjoy seeing him, and being in his company with the company of his family. Then I met the student body, the teachers and those who were there. It was a pleasure to see those earnest young men and women struggling to get a hold on something that will help them and place them among the thinkers of the age. It is a great thing to be a thinker. I enjoy being with this crowd. Prof. Pickens is one more great man, and I am proud that he is connected with this great school. I will not tell you what I want to tell you about it this week. I am now in Chester, but will spend Sunday in Washington, speaking in the morning at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, and in the evening at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. ..BOY SCOUT NOTES. Much favorable comment was passed upon the Memorial Service of the United Colored Boy Scout Troops of Baltimore. Nearly every troop of the Union was present, accompanied by Scoutmasters and their respective officers. The service was held at St. Johns A. M. E. Church, Lexington St., near Pine, Sunday, April 29,1917. The program, as planned by the committee was an elaborate one reflecting great credit upon the entire organization. The success of the occasion was due largely to Scoutmaster Wm. E. Davis, Jr., and his committee. The parents and other relatives of the deceased Scouts were present in gratifying numbers. Some of whom came long distances from the neighboring rural districts. during runoff. A two-part program was rendered with volunteer orchestra, assisted by the very efficient choir of St. Johns. A special feature of the program part 1, was the singing of "The Stur Spangled Banner" by the vast audience, led by over five hundred Boy Scouts, while a large flag was uplifted and swayed gently to and fro in the gentle breeze. "Another was a decided "hit" by the justly famous Annes M. E. Church Boys-Troop No. 14. Those boys always have something surprisingly good in store and always surpass expectations in their renditions. This time the quartet did it. So well did the 'tett' render the plantation melodies that the boys received an ovation. Another special feature of the program part 1, was plantation melodies rendered by the "Glee Club" of Sharon Baptist church.Troop No. 7. Sharon Baptist boys are now well known to be a "nervie bunch." This was shown when the whole Club numbering over twenty-five boys, creditably sang difficult selections so well that many Glee Clubs claiming older organization might well envy. The leading feature of the program part 2, was the illustrated brief accounts of each deceased Scouts life. The pictures setting forth the life of the Scouts were projected life-size upon a huge screen. The lantern used was made especially for the service by a special committee of boys of Troop No. 2, the well known boys of Waters A. M. E. Church. The stereopticon slides were made by the Scout master of this troop and a small "lunch" of Camera club boys; of the same troop. Another special feature of the program was the illustrated hymns for congregational singing. The boys who served as lantern operators were the same Scouts who constructed the lantern. A closing feature of the program was an illustrated doxology and benediction. The Lantern Committee and operators consisted of Charles King, Charles Thompson, Eugene Merritt, Clarence Saunders. The Memorial Committee in whose hand the final arrangements of the whole service rested consisted of Wm. E. Davis,Jr. Chairman: Charles Tolson, Henry B. Evans, David E. Green, Edward Gaugh, Benjamin Grant, Charles Proctor. Scoutmaster Benjamin Grant was selected leader of the Boy Scout Orchestra. The Deceased Scouts are: Troop No. 1, James Green, Grafton Henry, Theodore B. Johnson, Daniel Smith, and George Woods, Troop No. 2, Clarence H. Wicks; Troop No. 5, Delrear Reed, and Charles Pierce; Troop No. 8., Milbert Carr, Herbert Sewall WIRELESS NEWS I think you wireless fellows have been wondering what has become of me. I am still interested in wireless work but I am not receiving any wireless messages now because the government has ordered all aerials taken down. All wireless instruments are now sealed in a box by the United States Radio Inspector. Don't get discouraged at this restricition but let us hope that we may get on the job soon when the present troubles are over and the ban lifted. Great times will follow. From Operator 3 B-A ROLAND CARRINGTON 347 Camel Street, Baltimore. The boys of Troop No. 1, of Macedonia, are hard at it and doing excellent work under the direction of Scout master Cornelius Thompson; Carlton Smith, assistant and Theo Simmons, drillmaster. We want to kick up a sensation this year to be long remembered in the minds of this generation. CAMBRIDGE HAPPENINGS Cambridge, Md. Hay 8—Rev. J. A.

Box 812, Greensboro, N. C. Well Known Actor Who Is Showing Some Interesting Developments of Race Progress In a Hitherto Untried Field Amply Prepared For His Work and Is Winning His Laurels. C The progress of the colored people of the United States in education, business and the various professions is creditable and worthy of commendation. There are few avenues of industry into which some member of the race has not engaged with measurable success. This advance is largely due to education, aspiration and able leadership through organized effort. In this connection we doubt if any organization has been more helpful than the National Negro Business league. In the new field of development of racial activities, such as light dramas, vaudeville and photoplay, the race is making splendid headway. The Lincoln Motion Picture company, with headquarters in Los Angeles and a branch office in Philadelphia, is one of the most potent movements launched by Negro capital. The company has for its object the presentation of motion pictures showing Negro progress as portrayed by Negro characters. It offers a direct contradiction to the films that present the Negro in an altogether erroneous light. In this direction the company has done much toward educating the public relative to the best side of the Negro's life and to break down impressions, based altogether upon prejudice and injustice. The company was organized primarily to meet this condition and to furnish to the ambitious young men and women of the race an unexploded field. The president of the company is Noble M. Johnson, who is one of the best known young men in his line among us. Mr. Johnson is employed with the Universal Photophy company and has starred in such well known photo dramas us "intolerance." "The Western Governor's Humanity." "The Death Warrant" and others. He knows every phase of the business, and in this direction he is able to bring to his work the background that is necessary to make it real and interesting. The officers are Dr. J. Thomas Smith, vice president and treasurer, and Clarence A. Brooks, secretary, all of whom are well known business man. The entrance of the Negro into this field, which is the fifth greatest industry in the world, is doing more to get the correct side of Negro life before the nation than any other single agency. The first Negro picture produced by this company was entitled "Realization of a Negro's Ambition," which was a two part drama based upon love and adventure and which presented the true ambition of a colored youth's aspiration. NEW VOLUME OF POEMS. Writings of Phillis Wheatley Issued In Attractive Form. From the Pendleton Press of Washington has been issued an attractively printed and handsomely bound volume of 112 pages of the poems and letters of Miss Phillis Wheatley, the poetess of the Revolution and the first woman in America to publish a book of poems, says Bruce "Grit." The compilation is the work of the late George Herbert Kenroff, who was a native of Washington and in his day a promising young lawyer. The book also contains an admirable sketch of the life and work of Renfrew from the facile pen of Mrs. Leila Amos Pendleton, an authoress of quite considerable distinction. Collectors will find this edition of Miss Wheatley's poems a valuable addition to their libraries and in it many poems of this clever young woman which have not hitherto been published. The Pendleton Press is a race institution and deserves the highest commendation for the excellence of its workmanship in the publication and binding of this latest claimant to public favor. Haddeston Heads Leesville (Ga.) Guard Muck Haddeston, who has seen service at the front as a soldier, is in command of a new company of colored men recently organized at Leesville, La. The men were very enthusiastic over the prospect of being mustered into the federal service. Most of the members are farmers and have little time for practice during the day, but report promptly for drill every night. The company will be known as the Leesville guards. THE WEEKLY SERMON By Elder G. P. Rodgers "THE JUDGMENT" Not as soon as the sinner sins is he judged, neither as soon as he dies is he judged, this was made clear thru the typical sanctuary work. The high priest went once every year into the holy of holies there to plead for the sinner. The every day sacrifices were offered, yet but once during the year did the high priest take the blood of the animal into that which was within the vell, and then, he sought pardon for Israel, Lev., 16 and Lev., 23-23-29. This was called the cleansing of the sanctuary or the judgment and pointed to the time when Jesus the true high priest would take His blood and offer it before the Father as He sat over the mercy seat within the vail, Heb., 9-24-28. In the type (earthly building) the high priest did not go into the presence of God to plead for the sinner as soon as he died, it was upon the 10th day of the seventh month that this work was done and then alone. Not as soon as man dies does Jesus run into the presence of His Father for that particular man, but rather will take up his case when his name is read out from the books of Heaven. Over and over the Bible tenches that there is a day appointed in which God will judge the world—Acts 17-31. Paul reasoned with Felix, of righteousness and temperance and JUDGEMENT TO COME. In Paul's day the judgement was still in the future. On page 147 of the History of the M. E. Church by Rev. P. Douglas Gorrie we read:—"The scriptures universally speak of the judgment as being yet in the future:—the scriptures fix the judgment on an appointed day—The scriptures represent the judgment of former generations as yet in the future, etc. We might quote further but this is sufficient to prove that that great body of Methodists believe that God has fixed a day-a day in the future for the judgment. This is well in accord with scripture and in our next study we will show that the Bible makes clear that day. --- PRESIDENT P. E. ROBISON Ministers and laymen from all parts of Maryland and parts of Viri will attend the 67th annual session ginia and the District of Columbia of the Maryland and Virginia district of the African Union Methodist Protestant Church, which begins at the Manley A. U. M. P. Church, Havre de Grace, Md., on Wednesday morning, Rev. Dr. P. E. Robison, presiding. The entertaining pastor, Rev. S. I. Mills have all arrangements necessary for the delegation. There will be present associate presidents of some of the other districts, Rev. G. W. Brown, of the Middle District; Rev. D. J. Russell, of the Philadelphia and New Jersey District, President Robison and cabinet contemplates if possible to adjourn the conference on Sunday night.

Rector hopes to make it a memorable day for the uplift of the Association President Robison was served ten years of hard, ardent work in his district and feels that if an agreement can be made agreeable to himself and the conference he may change his position. The vice president, Rev. S. I. Mills has been very helpful. LARGE NUMBER AT REHEARSAL The Cosmopolitan choral Society seems to be making unusual progress judging from its weekly rehearsals.

Longevity Medical Co., Baltimore, Md. IS THIS TRUE? 17 YEARS TO LOVE. 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, 1869 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.
