C., June 5.—Had president Wilson allowed Col. Theodore Roosevelt to go to France as the colonel had proposed, it is generally assumed that he would have taken with him at least two regiments of colored men. This was recently dispassionately a letter to Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee Institution, in which Col. Roosevelt is known that two such regiments should be organized and one of them at least should be commanded by Lieutenant D. Young, with the rank of Colonel. Former Premier Clemenceau, in a short letter to President Wilson, made known the fact that there is much displacement in France because Col. Roosevelt is not likely at present to be seen in the trenches of France. In the name of Roosevelt would be an impulse to the armies fighting the war for France. It is generally assumed here that if Col. Roosevelt would not be called to lead an army in France large numbers of colored men will seek to follow him there. The following is the text of the let- ter to Col. Josephus, Dr. Mr. SMITH: If the volunteer organizations, provided for by Congress, are allowed, I should like to use at least two colored regiments. One of these should be under Lieutenant Colonel Young, who is normally fitted for the work. I should hope he would consult with you about some of the men for officers, but he would himself be the best judge about the officers. The man I should hope be under my officer with William M. Sonefeltin as lieutenant. I trust you will make increases and recommend to Mr. Schieffel in colored men of the highest standard and fitness for the work, who should be appointed as some of the officers of the regiment. Fairly yours. (signed) THE BOOSEE BOOSEEELT.

THE WEEKLY SERMON Not always will the LORD sit as jesus of the earth, neither will the Savior always stand before the Judge and plead for sinners. When HE comes the second time it will be without sin unto salvation. Heb. 9:28. At His second coming the sinner will feel from His presence to be destroyed with everlasting destruction. I Thess. 14:7-9. Christ will never again stand as an intercessor for the sinner, as will be a time when those who desire His intercession will have forgiven and all their sins will have been blighted away. Acts 5:19-19 and Heb. 10:1 and those who have put off salvation will find that there is no repentance for them, (for today is the day of salvation) but then, the unjust, Heb. 10:1 will remain unjust still, the slaying of thy still, no possible hope for when Jesus leaves the sanctuary when he now stands as the great intercession for we read in Heaven that the temple will be filled with sin from the glory of God and from his power and NO temple, till seven plagues will fill the earth were inflicted. And then the hope of every Christian will be realized, in the return of the church to home, to Him to the courts of story. It was that we comfort and cheer to Job of old, for he said "I know that my dearest liveth and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth." It was Davies that said "Our God shall come and shall not keep the earth." It was Davies that said "Our God shall come and shall not keep the earth." It was Davies that said "If I go and prepare a place for you I will come again John 14:1-3. And so on we might mention texts that tell of the return of Christ after he has finished His work in he behalf of man. The one to the word of the Lord, and daily keep the eye fixed upon the day star, faithful eternally rewarded.

YOU CAN FAILL STR AICHT FAIR If Anxious to Improve Your Hair and General Appearance Read There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number which are nothing more than perfumed cream in the interior people get discouraged and lose their hair tonics. In deciding on what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Sesbrya Quinodea is a highly medicated premade that has stood the test of time. It is the invention of a New York chemist and is made under the personal supervision of a licensed pharmacist of many years' experience. Quinodea stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It makes the hair soft, smooth and glossy, and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be shampooed at regular intervals with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and contains no animal fat of any kind. It lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap leaves the hair soft and duffy and impairs a refreshing feeling to the scalp, unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your drunkig or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler. The price is 28 cents each. Write to Seeby Drug Co. 19 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample, mentioning the name of this paper. Advertisement.

YEARS FORGETTEN For 11 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 20 doctors without relief. The disease never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell, the specialist, 1865 N. Carey street, Baltimore. Md. He treated me seven months and I am now completely cured. If anyone happens to suffer with such swollen 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.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES PAYABLE IN ADVANCE One Year - - - One Dollar Six Months - - - Fifty Cents Three Months - - - Forty cents All of the churches in the path of the Atlanta fire were burned to the ground, while all of the schools escaped. It is evident that the Atlanta churches were not on good terms with the fiery elements. All of the white South are not slave drivers and Ku Klux leaders. A good many are plain ordinary Americans. They exploit the labor of the colored man, first, because the colored man is weak and trusting enough to let them do it, and secondly because their religion allows them to go to church on Sunday and in a few minutes gain forgiveness for all of the sins they have committed during an entire week. No prejudice, but a simple statement of facts can be seen in the following dispatch from Thomasville, Georgia: "The exodus of Negroes from this section of the State still continues and several parties have left Thomasville this week, those from here being joined by numbers from Grady, Decatur and other nearby counties. If they continue to go as they are doing now it will do more to change agricultural conditions in south Georgia than the boll, we will make done. There are certain crops that the white man can grow himself, or with white help, but cotton is not one of them. The Negro and the cotton patch have been associated from time immemorial and rightly so, as cotton just cannot be grown without the Negro to work and pick it. It is a crop that requires more work than any other and few white men can stand up under the labor of picking cotton continually under the hot southern sun as the black ones can. With the Negro there may be a small amount of cotton grown but not the large fields of it that have been associated with this section." --- EXODES A STATE MATTER. Southern states that have hoped that the Federal Government would interfere and stop the migration of laborers to the North, on the ground that it would have an effect on the food and cotton crops serious in war time, have received word that the Government considers the exodus a State matter to be handled by the individual legislatures. Unofficially it has become known that the Federal Employment Bureau is not cooperating with other agencies in finding the Southerners positions in the North. Following this advice, one State is considering the proposal "to make it a felony for any employment agent to violate State laws requiring registration and payment of license fees by all persons engaged in the business of inducing workmen to accept employment in other States." Another State contemplates raising the license fees of employment agencies from $300 per year to $300 per month. Members of the Progressive Houseworkers League of Vancouver, British Columbia; have made demands upon their employers for an eight hour day a week of forty-eight hours, and one full day per week off in seven. Wonder what will happen if the whistle would sound between the roast and the dessert, when the hostess had a dinner party? STUDIES IN WAR TIMES. Due to the excitement over the war situation, Howard University closed its dors three weeks earlier than usual this year. Many of the larger and smaller institutions in the country have likewise shoved their commencements forward a week or two. Excitement and enthusiasm of patriotism colored with the possibility of service in the R. O. T. C. or conscription appear to have interfered so largely with students as to deter them from performing obligations of their work. Unable to obtain the usual application to work and to enforce the customary discipline, these schools have thought it best to close for the current term. Rumors have been in the air that the colleges of the country will close their doors through the coming year, or at least will not devote themselves to the ordinary processes of education. President Lowell, of Harvard, has a timely word to say on the subject: "This country will need educated men no less during and after this war than it has needed them before. It has not specifically directed to military use, is a mere luxury, enabling men to find a source of relaxation and enjoyment, but not essential to the welfare of the community as a whole, then the college had better close its doors permanently. But if, on the other hand, education, in the manifold forms in which it is given by the various institutions of learning, is essential to modern civilization and to the United States, then the college certainly cannot cease to import it." matter of. schooling from France, which has experienced, already three years of trying warfare, we could not do better than take the advice of President Lowell. There the government requests all young men below the enlistment age to apply themselves to their studies until the time of actual entrance into the war forces. Education in the higher forms in France suffered only a temporary setback, but now goes forward as before the war. However unsatisfactory some phases of training in the schools may be, these schools are nevertheless the best agencies for training to clear thinking, to steady work and to persistent purpose. After the temporary excitement over the war is past, let our schools go on as usual, and let our parents keep their children in the schools. "Like all other peoples, the Negro is running to and fro, seeking for a place in the sun, but I am firmly convinced that his final place in the sun will be in the sunny South."—Dean Kelly Miller at the Tuskegee Institute commencement. Until the South changes its ways, it appears that the Negro himself prefers a place in the Northern factories. It ought hardly be necessary to add that after the above remarks, the "Sunny South" patted Dean Miller on the back, and offered him a softer seat on the "Jim crow" car coming back home. BEGINNING AT THE BOTTOM A well spoken commentary on the Afro-American's editorial of last week urging a trade school by the side of our high school, and calling attention to the figures of the last U. S. census, which states that 98 per cent of the colored people of the country are engaged. In nonprofessional 1 vocations, was the address of Rabbi Heller, of New Orleans before the Tuskegee graduates last Sunday afternoon. Among other things the Rabbi said: "A race; a nation, a culture, must be built up from below. As, in any country you must first clear forests, drain swamps, build roads, create industries, foster commerce, and then you may rise to the university and the academy art, to the advancement of science and literature; so in a people there must be a solid groundwork of sturdy farmers, of skilled craftsmen, of miner and sailor and trader and clerk, before there can be scholars, and artists, orators and statesmen." "The founders of Hampton and Tuskegee saw more clearly than any other American educators the need of a sturdy sensible middle-class in American life. Like the English poet, Goldsmith, they believed that "A bold peasantry a country's pride When once destroyed can never be supplied." They saw, too, and this is the main point, that in order to preserve this middle class, it was necessary to train people for what they were going to do in the world, and not for something they were not going to do. --- Enlistments from Kiln, Mississippi, where a large lumbe ill is located, have been so heavy that the management has found it necessary to recruit colored women for these places. With the colored men in the Northern mills, and the white men in the army, the colored woman too is getting a chance at something else besides the laundry work. --- While the final figures are not at hand, it appears that the recruiting stations for the R. O. T. C. separate camp in the North will have trouble in filling their quotas. After a week's activity in New York, but fifteen men had qualified entirely altho 37 passed the physical test. The same difficulty was experienced in Philadelphia. Older men of education and responsibility could not be interested, and the required 70 could not be obtained. In Washington, 149 have passed the physical test but Captain Brockman, in charge of recruiting, states that he will not recomment all of these. It is not unlikely that some of the Washington applicants will be used to fill the deficiencies of other sections, should this be found necessary. By Tuesday, and not later than Wednesday of next week, all candidates will be informed as to the acceptance or rejection of their applications by the Department of the East at Governor's Island, N. Y. JOHN WARREN DOBSEY. John Warren Dorsey departed this life Sunday, June 3rd, 1917, at the home of his sister, Mrs. Susan Brown, of Galesville, Md., age 63 years.

D., Pastor MEMORIAL SERVICE and UNVEILING MONUMENT in memory of Late BENJAMIN J. HICKS, founder of Relief Association of Baltimore County, will be held at Pleasant Rest Cemetery, Towson, Md., Sunday, June 17 at 3 P. M. Jeremiah I. Johnson, master of ceremonies; Benjamin S. Johnson, principal speaker. Music by Towson Cornet Band, Wm. A. Wilson, leader. Last Sunday in Sharp St. Memorial Church was a most beautiful sight to behold, the occasion being the 20th annual old folk's day given by the Loving Service Working Circle Kings Daughters and Sons. Long before 10 oclock hocks were going to and fro all over the city conveying the aged to the church, the inmates from Bethel, Shelter and Drudl Hill Avenue Homes were in the number. A touring car was sent to Bayview to gather as many inmates as court come. When the committee arrived at Bayview they found there were about 300 coloured and white waiting for their annual treat who were physically unable to be present. They do not bring in the whites to the dinner but when distributing the goodies they gave all alike. There were 16 of them who enjoyed the day at church, after listening to a soul-inspiring sermon by our pastor, the Holy Sacrament was administered. At 1.50 dinner was served and although the high cost of food was a problem yet the menu was the same as in previous years: chicken fricasee, ham, rice, potatoes, tomatoes, assorted cakes, icees, rolls and coffee. After dinner an old fashioned experience meeting led by Rev. Watson and Mrs. Melissa Minor interspersed with songs of the gospel by Madam Bruce, which was the delight of the aged for in their experience several said the first Sunday in June was the only time they got to church and how they first thanked the Lord then the Kings Daughters and Sons. At 5 P. M. hacks and touring cars came for the guests of the day to take them home, thus old folk's day 1917 had gone down as history. The members take this method in thanking all who helped us in any way to make the day a success. There were 135 aged and infirm who dined.

I called in some of our best physicians but could get no relief. I had began to lose hope, when a friend of mine advised me to give Dr. Cargill a trial. I did so and in two days the misery had disappeared altogether. It seemed as though it was done by magic. If any one suffers with stomach trouble, I will recommend Dr. Cargill to them who is without doubt one of the most promising young doctors of the country. AERAHAM HICKS, Towson, Md.

ADMISSION 15 CENTS Woman's Department Edited By Margaret Black "I just tell you I won't. I'm not going to be made a target of for anybody, be he white or black. We are all just a set of shaves and pack horses as it is. Go where we will do what we will we are classed as ignorant Negroes. If one of us happens to make good and do something better than a white man...I mean so much better that he can't help but see it—then if he happens to be a little fair, it is because of the white blood in his veins. If he is so black that they cannot attribute to his white blood, then it is the contact with he white man and because the white man discovered him and not only gave him his chance but pushed him forward. He never gets the credit of having sense enough or energy enough to push for cultivate and be a man's man, the wish to cultivate his brain and to have the courage to do and dare without Mr. White Man's help. Bah. What's the use? We helped to win every war that has been fought by these United States. Do we get any credit, do our children ever study a textbook in the schools that tell what out great grandparents, grandparents or parents did or how they fought in wars of America? the Wars "There are hundreds of us who have the right to belong to the Sons or Daughters of the American Revolution, Daughters of the Confederacy, and Sons of Veterans and every sons and daughters they have, but what's the use? Our fathers are Grand Army men, Spanish War veterans, and fought side by side with the best of them, but does that get them or their children any better treatment or recognition from the people who should be glad to recognize the services they have rendered their country? Of course not. He is old Tom or Uncle Tom or 'nigger' Tom and sometimes Tom, but seldom is he Mr. Tom. Then you tell me to be sure to register. I'll be thirty-one in July so I will be thirty-one May thirtieth. What difference will one month make more or less?" So spoke John Mason to his mother and grandmother as he walked furiously, up and down the dining room floor. "It is supper time, John, and you will feel better if you get ready and eat" said his mother. His grandmother had started the ball rolling by telling him he must not forget to register tomorrow, and right away he had forgotten all about supper, and was so angry he did not care much what he said. "Well John," said his grandmother, "two wrongs don't make a right. You are 31 tomorrow a month, and that one month is just far enough away to place your mume on the registry list so there is nothing else for you to do but register. Why tell an untruth? It is true you are all the support we have, but I would not hide behind any woman's petticoats by telling a lie, nor would I be a shacker. "I'm no snacker, grandmother, but I don't want to fight for a country that allows my people to be lynched by hanging and burning at stake, and stand by and see a mob of inhuman beings fighting for pieces of his body for souvenirs. They talk and preach about the atrocities of the Germans. I think we should clean up at home." "But son," said grandmother, "your not registering would not help matters any. By some your talk would be considered little less than tussle. God is not asleep, nor is He ignorant of the crimes committed against us or by us. We will not always be a persecuted race. We must be willing to serve and obey or we will never be fit for leaders when the time comes and we come into our own. The burden is heavy and sometimes almost unbearable, but has not my boy learned to trust his God? Come, son, bury your bitter feelings and fight for the future Negro boys and girls. I don't often say so much, as you know, but I want to make you see that headedness won't bring you anything but trouble. My advice to you is to get all you can and learn all you can, for the time is coming when you will need it all. I don't expect to live to see it but the time is coming when no man will ask our color. God's ways are not our ways." "But grandmother," said John. "I am a free born American citizen. Why should I want to serve the country that treats its soldiers better than a race that belongs to it, and has served it so faithfully? We've never produced a traitor and our soldiers are the only soldiers that they know they can trust. It seems so inconsistent for them to think we are not worthy to be treated as men. In these days when every five hundredth man is a spy and every one thousand man is preaching treason, they are compelled to trust the black man, and yet they insult him by asking if he has the grit and intelligence to undergo training such as is given in army camps and come out as capable officers. Let them give us a fair chance and we will show them what we can do. All we ask is the chance as men." "Well, well, my boy," replied grandma, "do not worry about it, and whatever else you may be do not be a slacker. Your grandfather was a soldier, proud and true and served his country as long as it needed him, and altho they gave us no credit, history would tell quite a different story if it had not been for the black man. My advice to you is to keep plugging and digging and grinding away, and some day the gate will be open and we will be free to go wherever we have earned the right to go. Our money will be accepted and our color will be forgotten. But you must not be a slacker nor must you stop a plugging. And remember that constant plugging will win the day, and while you are plugging, aim high. Don't ever want to be content to remain in the ditch. It is not the slacker or the liar who wins, but the man with the determination and the will power to keep plugging away. You see, boy, I have planned big things for you. Some times I sit here while your mother is busy and shut my eyes and seem to see you a shining light and a leader, working for our people; and I pretend that I am listening and that you are saying things to me that you have been telling to the man lower down that you want to see succeed, and again since this country has entered the war I've often pictured you as a captain that your men idolize and are willing to follow wherever you lead. I picture myself reading a letter from you that has been a long coming to you. I remember telling me you are winning just loads of praise from the man, higher up, and when I imagine I have waked up sud- denly and found you standing by my side, and I love you and put your arm around my neck—my great, big, manly, hero boy. But, my dear boy, I've never imagined you a slacker or a liar. I've always seen you winning out and making good and it has always been done by plugging and digging and grinding away." "Alright, grandma," said John, "you win, and I will register tomorrow before I go to work; but rest assured, if I ever get the chance, I will fight for my people just as well as my country." A STRAWBERRY DESSERT. 1 box of strawberries. 2 full pints of sugar. 3 pint of sweet cream. Hull and wash the berries and chop them in small pieces, but do not crush too much. Pour the sugar over them and stir ni thoroughly. Set aside for one hour. When ready to serve they should be very juicy. Take a slice of cake about one inch thick, soak with the syrup, pine strawberries on top, pour over the cream plain or whipped and serve immediately. Enough for four people. Nothing is so provoking as to have the butter too hard to spread when you are in a hurry to make sandwiches. The next time this occurs, scald a small bowl and insert over your butter until the bowl cools and your butter will be soft enough to spread.
