AUGUST 11, 1917 PRICE THREE CENTS First Separate Company, Now One Of The Units In The United States Army Y.M.C.A. Outing and Water Carnival, Friday, Aug. 17, All Day Hopes Shattered That Exam Lining Board Would Report Him Fit and Thus in Line for Brigadier Generalship Washington, August 3—Col. Charles Young will not have an opportunity to serve as an officer in France, his retirement with the rank of colonel, and he will be in France. Wilson last Friday. Physical disability is given as the reason for the retirement, which is to date from June 22, 1917. He will continue on duty when he is awarded regiment, now organized in Ohio. His pay will be $6,000 a year. The news of Colonel Young's retirement has been expected ever since he was recently ordered before an examining board at San Francisco. Protests began to pour into the War Department against any "Shelving" of Colonel Young because he is a colored man. The examining board, it is said, recommended his retirement the ground that he was suffering from high blood pressure. This was astonishing news to his many friends who believed that he was and is now the best of physical condition, at least as much so as are many white officers who have served in the army as long as he. FALSE HOPES LOOM In response to an inquiry from Prof. Kelly Miller, of Washington, Secretary of War Baker replied on July 7th, that Colonel Young had been surveyed by an examining board and found to be "afflicted with a chronic disease." Of the board, "Secretary Baker stated, "was approved by the surgeon general, but in view of the fact that Colonel Young's record is a long and honorable one, and the government needs officers of his rank and ability, it was directed that the report of the board to be made to the question so as to make quite sure that there could not be an error in the FAKEE REQUESTS RÉPORT "I have directed that the report of the board be returned to me personally before being acted upon, not because I find myself able to believe that any prejudice would produce the deep dishonor of a woman because I want to be able to give the assurance that all who inquire that I have given my own personal thought and attention to this case, in which so many are interested. "I hope that the board will find Colonel Young still able to perform active duty, in the service. I have directed that he be restored to active duty and have at least the hope capable to have his assistance for the present." A report was sent out from Washington that a new examining board had found him physically fit and recommended that he be advanced to a colonyel. PRESIDENT WRITES MOTON In response to a query from Maj. R. R. Moton, President Wilson, under date of July 9, wrote the Taskeger principal: "I have your letter of July 7th. You may be sure that I am no less deeply interested than yourself in the matter, and when you call my attention I will think that you are laboring under a misapprehension as to the case of Lieut. Col. Charles Young. There is no possible ground in that case for the fear that he is in any way being discriminated against, and you may be sure that he will be COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG treated as any other officer would be in similar circumstances. I know that in the disposition of the authorities of the War Department, and it is certainly my own purpose." WAR SECRETARY APPREHENSIVE It will be noticed that both the letters of President Wilson and Secretary Baker were written two weeks later than the time from which Colonel Young's retirement is to date (June 22). Secretary Baker shows in his letter to Professor Miller that he was apprehensive of criticism when he stated that he ordered "the report of the board be returned to me personally - - - - because I want to be able to give the assurance to all who inquire that I have given my own personal thought and attention to this case, in which so many RETIREMENT GENERAL TALK The news of his retirement became a general conversation topic, and it is probable that no officers being taken from active duty in recent years created such interest. On one side as the feeling that Colonel Young had been discriminated against because of his race and on the other was of the desire that he had been treated fairly. The prospective retirement has been the theme for discussion in race journals throughout the country. A WEST POINTER. Colonel Young, who has an unblemished record, was graduated from West Point in 1889. He, Lieutenant H. O. Flipper and a cadet named Alexander have been the only colored men graduated from West Point, so great has been predicted. The armenian school as well as at the National College. Nine other colored men have not been able to complete courses at West Point. Young rose to the highest rank ever attained by a colored man in the United States Army. A man of ability, and popular, Col. Young slowly wielded through race his present rank. He has been stationed with the Ninth, Tenth and Seventh Cavaliers, the latter composed of whites. He was at one time military instructor at Wilberforce University and has also served as military attaché both in Haiti and Liberia. A Haiti man he was appointed the Spinmild Mdal as president of his achievements. His retirement means that he will lose the chance of becoming a brigadier general. GOVERNOR NAMES COMMISSION Governor announced the names of a number of well-known colored men Thursday, who will act as an auxiliary to the Maryland Council of National Defense. Dr. Ernest Lyon is the chairman. WAR DEPARTMENT BOMFUZZLE Corporal Dorsey and another member of the First Separate Washington Battalion arrived to rewith two races for all branches of service.

Naylor, which is nearby, escaped injury. IN A TIGHT FIX. No Record of Colored Births in This Town. Cincinnati, August 8—Apparently Nick Sheets, now in Berlin, and absolutely without passports finds himself in a bad fix. The local health department was requested by the State Department to forward a copy of Sheet's birth certificate, which should bear the date of September 12, 1831. The health department finds itself unable to comply with Sheet's request thru the State Department, as registrar Evans cannot find any entry of his name on the city's books. The State Department was so informed and this information doubtless forwarded to the Hague Embassy, from which the original inquiry came. Sheet's will have to remain in the enemy's country. —Translated from the N. Y. Staats Zeitung for the Afro-American. HOSPITAL ORDERS Last week forty-ninel corpsmen from Barracks, arrived at the training in the school that was reeled. According to reeled probably be 300 or more men to take this trainee. at the school. The publishing such a secrured unit to accompany r scripts to France. ROOKIES DI G Last Wednesday t were set to work. This work was really stimulated war condensed was equipped. WILLIAM W. B. DAY, Inc., Anthracite—CO A L—Bituminous 1206 DRUID HILL AVENUE. ROOKIES TO GET ONLY INFANTRY TRAINING Those Who Had Contemplate Entering Cavalry or Artillery Branch of Service Sorcly Disappointed Fort Des Moines, Iowa, August $— the rookies in training at the Officers Reserve Training Camp here will not be given instruction for officers posi- tions in the artillery, cavalry or other branches of the colored con- trol. During the latter part of the week, Col. C. C. Ballou received orders from Washington stating that the War Department had approved his recommendation—that the entire men's camp training be assigned to infantry work only. This announcement, coming as it did, when the camp training was half over with, took the long service cavalrymen from the Ninth and Tenth off their feet. One was heard to remark that the conflict was between the mechanized cavalrymen and other technically trained men who cherish the fond hope of becoming members of the artillery or engineer's corps, saw that hope blunted. During his announcement, Colonel Ballou said, "The men in the white camp training men here for the most part are high school graduates and I doubt if some of you have a good high school training. We have no colored non-comissioned officers to instruct you in artillery. Then too, we would have to send you to the Houss of instruction in other than that of infantry." There was a noticeable drop in the spirit with which the men entered upon their work, following the announcement. Most of the men made a secrethood in which he felt he was best fitted. Of course, write all soldiers must know infantry, there is little doubt that some men are better fitted for the other branches of the service. As a result of the third physical examination, a good many found that their heart troubles still worry a few. The final report of this physical examination is availed with interest. ANOTHER TEACHER mentioned that there will be a further weeding out, very soon. After the notice was given that the camp instruction would leave out tint in cavalry and artillery, it looked as though the purpose of weeding out the tint in medical doctors in training here have their hopes of getting into a medical unit boosted each day, but as the training period is past half over it will take some time to make them stick, authors are awaiting word from Washington. HOSPITAL ORDERLIES ARRIVE Last week forty-nine colored hospital corps men from the Columbus Barricks, arrived at the fort to take the training in the medical training school that was recently established. According to reports there, will probably be 300 or more colored soldiers to take this training in first aid, etc. at the school, the program for the colored men is to organize a medical unit to accompany the colored conscripts to France. ROOKIES DI G TRENCHES Last Wednesday the officers-to-be were to work digging trenches. This work was realistic indeed and stimulated war conditions. Each sound was equipped with a set of in- treaching tools—shovels, picks, axe, wire-enter—each man having one tool. The implements are only 22 inches in length, but quite durable. The rookie first dug his skishair trench; this affords him cover while laying down shooting. As each man occupies the trench he digs and war conditions are what they are, it is not very long before a big pile of trenches appeared at a few minutes ago was grazed. Needless to say, many hips showed blisters; that did not. Had shown calluses on all legs. After the "prone" trench was dug, the men had to dig still deeper to make the "kneeling" trench; and after that to sink the pick and shovel deeper yet to make the "standing" trench. Of course you use the loose dirt to make a parapet in front of you to stop the bullets. When you dig this parapet will make nine feet in the trench and be about 13 inches above the ground. You will have to make the trenches communicating. MG HILYER VISITS CAMP. Mr. Andrew Hilker, of Washington, D.C., an attorney, and a trustee of Howard University, visited the camp during the week. He inspected the camp and encouraged him in their work. It also expressed himself as being highly pleased with the progress shown by the men. PLANET BARRED FROM MAILS Article Criticising America's Treatment of Negro Causes Temporary Widowing of the Paper. Richmond, Va. August 5—For the first time since the European war began a colored newspaper was temporarily held from the mails until the Department at Washington could pass upon an article that severely took the country to task for its treatment of the Negro. This occurred last week when Postmaster Ray T. Thornton refused to let the lieutenant Planet pass through the area from the pen of a similar officer, former editor of the Howard University Journal. Mr. Mineer, who spoke for himself, declared that the Negro should not enter volunteer army service until the rioters at East St. Louis were to justice by law. Authority, and to justice by law, like Col. Tuloe. The loosely held, speaks out bravely against the unpleasant atrocities perpetrated upon my despised and ill-treated race." START DEMOCRACY HERE "Unless I am assured," the article continues, "I have so dearly, will offer protection in the future to the twelve millions peace loving people in this country; unless I am convinced that this 'world democracy' includes black men as well as white men. I shall consider myself by my free volunteering for a fight across the seas, because I firmly believe and maintain that democracy, like charity, should begin at home and spread abroad." In view of that there is no established censorship at Washington, Editor, I will忙 busy with postoffice authorities there, and on Wednesday, the Planet, of last week was released for the mails. DR.

"What a foolish question to ask," you say. Of course. In busy, this is a busy age, with what home duties, social affairs, community and betrayment work, to make our income go round, and the worry of that war garden and the cunning club, there is little time to be serious or placed or insurably any more. Our church picnic is in tomorrow and I wanted to go the worst way, but to get away, I need to say, "I can get away," says Mrs. Smith. "Oh dear me," replies Mrs. Jones as she vehicles up her forehead, "I wonder K it pays. Here I am rushing from pillow to post to try to do a task. I am going to make a book at all of them for all the world like an enclosed bird. I haven't had a whole day at home in months, and I am so tired that I fairly see red every time I sit down for a book. I drop everything and get away for just one week and do nothing but enjoy myself, go some place where it is quiet and I will have nothing to do but eat, sleep and rock on a shady corner. I myself together so I can do justice to my fall camping and home-work." Now really that might be much better idea than my worrying friend realizes, for no one can achieve anything or do her best in any one she is running here, there, and everywhere just to just to be sure that I can commit to or board meetings and to leave her card at two or three affairs in one afternoon so as to be at home in time to meet Mrs. Jones to arrange for the children's outing at the next day. To accomplish any事情 worth doing requires communication, commitment and effort. Aggrony can set us a filter. The woman who darts here and there and everywhere trying to impress her friends with her impatience does not leave any of her so-called charities any the richer toward what she has given her, and she is not an exchanging, irritable, worried, hurried, hurried individual to live with. Treatly once family does have some serious after all and it is a good idea to make a week off for a day if you can't go to work or to weigh ourselves thoughtfully and to see where our efforts mean the most and how much time we must give to the enterprise that we decide to make our efforts a factor of importance. We sympathize with the work that is being done in the cause of humanity and naturally our hearts go out to their needs. How many times we have to lend our moral support or have accepted an office because some friend has over-urged us to do so and promised faithfully that others would be responsible for the real work, and that we would be well-mounted and in the end, if you are a capable and conscientious individual that you will have to carry your own burden or it will not be carried at all. It takes a strong character to stick to it, and to know what is the right time to say "Yes." - A. T. RECIPES Sift flour into mixing bowl. Dissolve sugar into ¼ cup of the water.

Recipes For Raspberries Allow 1 pound of sugar and a quarter of a pint of red current juice to each pound of fruit. If you cannot get current juice, squeeze the juice of a lemon into three quarters of a water, add it to the juice of a lemon and the lemon juice takes off that rather sickly sweetness which is apt to spoil jam of raspberries alone. Put the fruit into a preserving kettle and let it boil for a quarter of an hour, stirring it well at once. Then add the lemon juice or lemon water, and cook until thick. ...RASPBERRY MARMALADE .....

A spool of good adhesive plaster is invaluable in the average household, both as a time saver and repairer. It is inexpensive and comes in a variety of colors and widths. Adhesive plaster is fine for mending rubber goods of all kinds, not water bags, hand bags and garden hose, rain coats, gloves, hand bags and to replace the worm heel lining in shoes. Repairs, repairing, cracks or protruding worms there is nothing better. It may also be used to stop up cracks and to exclude light and air in order to make fumigation more thorough. A tight bandage plaster will also mend a painted handle or chair that apply it to the underwear or rug that curls or is under it and see how nicely it remedies the trouble. It makes excellent labels for fruit fars as the backs can be littered with link. It is also fine for fastening purcels. Don't forget to give your celery plant plenty of water. Moisture is important. If you can spray it a watering with liquid manure will prove very beneficial. It is necessary to take care that no weeds are allowed to seed in your garden. Hoe around growing crops frequently. The hoeding and sifting will help with the growth plants while at the same time you will be killing the weeds. .her-Tru-Line. INSURES YOUR HAIR by making the scalp healthy.

Colonel Charles Young, found im unfit for active service. A single decision of this Board, under ordinary circumstances, would have beon suf- ficient. to retire any officer, It was necessary to make assurances doubly sure in the case of the-Lt. Colonel ‘first because he Is colored and second- ly, because he is the highest officer the race has ever had in the army. ‘As soon as It became known tha Lt. Colonel Young hud been ordered to an Army hospital for examination ‘and treatment, people all over the county felt that an effort was being “made by the Southerners in the War Department to side-track a man, who was in line to becdme very shortly a Brigadier General. The War Depart- ment was flooded with letters and a second time the Bourd was called and repeated the findings of th» first. ‘After reaching the hospital in San Franciseo Lt. Colonel Young wrote to fa friend that he had never felt better jn his life, and that his naturally hot temperament contributed to the high ‘Mood pressure that the ‘examining boar@ found. However, it seems reasonably certain now that no doubt should be entertained of the square dealing of the War Department, and the Lt Colonel's statement must only be taken 2s an indication of his patri- otle desire to serve his country fur- ther in active service. : It is true that the now Colonel ‘Young has been retired at an age when men with his experience are dest able to vender high service. This ia regrettable. It is disheartening too to recall that there is’ not another officer of his calibre in the regular army. The hope of those who desire to see colored men in high positions in’ the army now centefs in the Des Moines camp. ‘The European war is going to seo to it that we have several eolonels before it is over, and even a general or two is not improbable, ‘The number of dead miners in Clay. Kentucky, is — moving very rapidly toward fifty. The causes of ‘the gas explosion are being. investi. gated, White miners struck July 3 in the coal mines, and colored men have taken thelr places, The man- agement of the mine is not convinced that here lies the cause of the ex- plosion. Tt is‘more inclined to lay the Blame upon the inexperienced work- men. Whatever the cause, Clay, Ken- tueky, is another payment in blood that colored folk have made for civilization.

NO DISGRACE TO RETURNING SNe ITT, “Many persons seem to feel that failure to complete tie prescribed course at an OMfleers’ Training Camp carries wiih it a certain stigma ap- proximating to disgrace. This is, in general, noz true, and {3 only true in-easer of men sent heme by reason of misconduct. ‘There is ‘more dangerous and er- roneous belief than that indulged in by many of our people. to the effect that any and every :nan can become fa good military, olficer. ‘This 1dea. 1 ‘almost equivalent to rae notion that puting a uniform on a man and a Bifle in his hands makes him a soldier ‘Both ideas are as incorrect and fun- damentally absurb as would. be the belief that puting a scapel in a man’s hands converts him into a surgeon, o that putting on the cap of a aval oMcer qualifey a "man to navigate and fight a battlestip. Not the least useful result of our great training camps wil be the cor- rection of these absuro notions. T once mustered into service as an officer of . high’ rank, a man -who frankly.sald: "f don’t know anything about military matters, I fon't know how to get my- regiment going, and if’ I once got'it going, I wouldn't know how to stop it again.”Yet twelve hundred lives,~and untold .Natlonal interests were made dependent upon ‘this utterly unqualified man for’ pure- ly. political reasons. The: mass of the people have haf very little idea of the danger nnd dis- aster that! le behind such appolet- ments, “but there ‘are, nevertheless, many. wives: mothers and; sisters. who jare:.beginning: to:-reelice ‘that; thay don't want husbands,” ‘sons.’ fathers ‘and brothers ordered in battle by men who don't know how to. give them the least, show for their. lives. ‘And those training camps. are, going to vastly increase. the appreciation of the simple proposition that a soldier needs to know his business Just. as Sees the surgeon, ‘the lawyer, the sailor, the electriclan-and every other mun. of profession of trade, |. Furthermore, they ‘will spread a conception of’ the, tact that Army Officers, on ..whose conipetence de- ‘pends the lives of men snd the fate of nations, require for the ‘proper dis- charge of their grave duties, traln- ing and abilities of a higher order anda more varied character than do jmien of any other profession in life. [It is, therefore, only reasonable to feXpect that, large nuinpers of those who enter Officers’ Training Camps will find after a few weeks trial that they were not destined by nature for ‘the duties and responsibilities of mili- tury command. This fact should .1n- yoive no reproneh. it zs no more dis- graceful to be a misfit at an-OMmcers' ‘Training Camp than to be a similar misfit in training for the «church choir. Reul military ‘leaders are as rare as good musicians, and the unfit must be eliminated xs ruthlessly as are the discordant aspirants for a place in.the orchestra, and this elimi- nation is not evidence that the reject- ed ones are.not good men, brave men or patriotic. men." .

The light of the setting sun lit up the desolate summit of Cartwright Peak, transforming dull gray rocks and gaunt, gnarled trees into shimmering formations of red and gold. On either side the low lands lay, bathed in a faint, purple mist; serenely quiet in the shadow of the majestic mountains to the east. mountains to Cartwright Peak is, perhaps the loneliest point among the Carolina hills. It rises abruptly from the rolling ground to the west, along a course thickly wooded at the base but gradually thinning out into a more open and less luxuriant slope of rocky soil as the summit is neared. The summit, itself, completes the air of desolation. The few tall trees, lifting their waving branches towards the sky; the dull yellowish earth, littered with rocks, with only here and there a tuft of mountain grass to relieve the oppressive monotony of color; the perpetual sighing of the mountain breeze all render it unpleasant to those who do not care for nature in all its rugged beauty. beauty. But the real attractiveness of the place does not rest in any beauty of its own. It is the view that can be had from the peak that makes the journey up the steep slopes worth while. Cartwright Peak is the middle ground between the majestic mountains and broad lowlands. It is the point where the traveller stops, (whether he is coming up from the valley or down from the mountains) and gazes in admiration upon the world before his eyes; turning from the mountains to the valley and from the valley back to the mountains, vainly endeavoring to decide which is the lover. It is the borderland between the life active, and the life contemplative. Young men's eyes usually linger longer upon the valley with its teeming life; the eyes of old men turn invariably toward the hills. On this particular evening a man in the early prime of his manhood, stood quietly gazing out upon the scene from the highest point of the peak. At his feet the broad valley lay in all its beauty; its fields and farmhouses, its roads and forests, and Lawnville town itself, nestled there in the shadow of the peak like some toy village with its shingled roofed cottages and its miniature rose gardens. This was the world—and never. in all the days of his life had it looked so beautiful to Philip Marshall. Just three weeks before he had stood at this very place looking down into this same fertile valley with hard, cynical eyes, blind to it beauty, callous to any thrill of inspiration. Those wandering roads leading out into the great world beyond meant nothing to him. Fools could dream of the golden cities at their end, and power and fame, but he, who knew, could only smile. A certain distance they might go and then the road to fame would become impenetrably blocked. He knew for he had followed the alluring, tight himself. From his earliest boyhood Marshall had looked forward to a great future. Born with a splendid body and a splendid mind and an atmosphere of culture, he had always looked toward the higher things of life. He would reach the summit of fame. He would go out into the world and make a name that would go blazing down the ages until the end of time. And why not? His school career was one of glorious achievement; high school finished at sixteen, college at twenty, Law, at twenty-four, at the head of his class. The world was his to conson and subdue. For a time he had clung to his blessings even after the impossibility of their ever materializing had been overcome but the cold hard facts remained. With all his talent and training, the door of universal achievement was snut in his face. His sphere was limited; frightfully narrow and confining The glory for which his ambitions nature yearned could never be his because his face was brown. It is the cultured mind that suffers most under injustice. To settle down to an every day, hum-drum existence; to live and die a struggling lawyer in the town of his birth while pale, sleek-headed, young men above whom he had towered in power and intellect at college went out so early into higher positions, to honor, fame and boundless opportunity beneath a glorious flag, the very thought had maddened him, crushing out the boyant youth, tearing down the lofty ideals, wrecking the man. Then he had drifted Since the world refused him fame he would get from it every material advantage that he could. In this new undertaking he had succeeded. The turns and twists in real estate possibilities were at his fingers ends. Every scheme materialized He robbed his clients with all the ease in the world while he blinded them with honeyed words and yards of professional red tape. Yet he had become a prominent figure in the life of his community. His wonderful gift of oratory made him welcome upon all lecture platforms and brought him to the front in every racial enterprise, but when ever anything more than words was demanded Mr. Marshall was always too busy unless a high salary was to be forth-coming immediately. Hundreds championed him in this stand. How could people expect Phil Marshall to give his superior services for a mere pittance, they avowed, a man of his talent and education. It was preposterous. In a social sense also, Marshall had become a veritable lion. Cultured, witty and always irreproachably honorable in his relations with women, he was admired by all with whom he came in contact. Fond mothers planned secretly and sometimes openly to interest him in their respective daughters, but in vain. Marshall had no inclination to share his growing prosperity with any one. At balls and receptions, he accepted the favors and smiles of them all. At the annual outing of the Rod and Gun Club of his city, at which he all won the prize, he congratulated he received the appreciation of each fair visitor with the same impartial smile. Nets were of no avail against him. The lion would not be caught. Thus, prosperous, enwired, lionized, he had moved onward in his sphere of life, but down in his heart the old bitterness. He was being held back because he had Negro blood. He was the loser, the sufferer, the failure. Once on the streets with a friend he had pointed a fithy, degenerate colored loafer "Look," he had cried. "Born with the curse in his veins; all the finer sensibilities dead in him. Cringing to live and too cowardly to die and yet I have to suffer with him. He is holding me back. Holding me back." And so he had gone on, draining the bitter dregs, fostering hopeless, selfish thoughts, cursing his fate, until the serious, sober-minded, problem-facing men of the community turned from him in disgust. Not one of them possessed his ability, his genius, his power, but what they had they were offering daily in the struggle for the political, social, and moral uplift of their race. The best that was in them they gave. Philip Marshall gave nothing gave Eut now, as he stood on Cartwright Summit, in the glory of the sunset, he was seeing the world with different eyes; the clear eyes of boyhood, undim now by any selfish longing. The realization of the criminal selfish- ness of the life he had been leading buried into his soul like fire. He would make it up. He was only thirty-five years old. The best years of his life were ahead of him, and he would use them to wipe out the dishonor which was his; to make amends, to pay his debt. to pay his debt. The change had not come with all the sadness that it seemed to have come. Three forces had acted to bring about this new attitude; three forces backed by facts, convincing, cogent, irresistible. He had come up into these. Carolina hills for a much needed rest after an unusually busy period in the real estate world, and for the last month he had been thrown constantly into contact with the people of his race who walked the humber paths of life. The little village of Fraynor, (at the base of Fraynor mountain east of the peak.) had welcomed him with open arms. Laborers and farmers had offered their simple hospitality. He had talked with them, walked with them, enten with them. For the first time he found himself sympathetically interested in the struggles and aims of other individuals beside himself. The depth of some of the thoughts expressed by illiterate mountaineers started him, the rugged simplicity of their faith in God amazed him, the calm unfinching fortitude with which they faced the problems of life shamed him utterly. He suffered by contrast. Then too, separated as he now was from the stimulus of the crowded city, his mind could not so easily throw off the dictates of a conscience not yet dead. During the long evenings when he walked among the hills, or sat upon the little porch of the cottage where he was staying, these convictions haunted him. All the power of his remarkable intellect was brought to bear on them. He looked upon both sides, he argued the pros and cons, but he could not evade the glaring truth; his life had been radically wrong. The cogency of the facts arrayed against his cynical harshness, his lack of race pride, his criminal neglect of Heaven assigned obligations, could not be penetrated or overcome. He stood convicted in his own eyes. Both of these forces had acted upon the man in a purely evolutionary manner, appealing, in the greatest degree to qualities of the mind. Daily he saw a never-ending panorama of convincing facts. Latent qualities in the man had made him come forward to grasp these facts. Live, dominant qualities in the man made him debate these facts in a sane, impartial manner. But the third force appealed to the finer sensibilities; it was undefnable, overpowering, revolutionary. --The third force was a woman. Marshall had come over the peak in the glow of an early August morning and had followed a winding little path down through the woods into Lawnville. Attracted by the prosperous appearance of the town he had walked leisurely through it until he had reached the outlying districts where the road stretched away between waving fields and broad meadows. He had stopped at the door of a pretty little farmhouse to ask for a drink. A girl, her brown eyes dancing with delight, and unconcealed admiration, had come forward with a smile of recognition. "Why Mr. Marshall," she said. "What are you doing in Lawnville?" In exchange of words that had ensued, he had found that the young lady had attended: the University in his own city during the proceeding winter; that she had seen him often, heard him speak on many occasions, and had been among the enthusiastic throng at the outing of the Rod and Gun Club in June, at which he had won the silver loving cup. For an hour that morning he had fingered there with her talking of the beauty of the country, of art and books and the "great work" which she considered him to be doing in the city. Other visits had followed. Before, Grace Wayland's smiling face the old clouds of despondency vanished. Before, her he did not hesitate to speak the thoughts, nearest his heart. Before, her, he laid bare in no uncertain words the degrading worthlessness of his life; he anathematized himself as no one of his bitterest enemies would have dared, not wonder of wonders, the girl did not believe a word that he said. She had upheld her lawyer among her companions at school whenever his character was assailed and now, that she found him wrathfully bitter against himself, she gave not the slightest credence to his own attacks. It was too much. The last virtage of his resistance gave way. She trusted him implicitly. It almost took away his breath to think about it. He was not worth it. He did not deserve it. But, he would deserve it. All the good within him arose to give birth to the new man, every selfish longing seemed to tade entirely, in the new and brilliant glory of his love for the girl.

Just about half of the First Separate Company, fully equipped are now doing duty in the arsenal at Pittsburgh, Pa. The boys are under the command of Lieutenants Harris and Ryan. The remainder of the company under Captain Spencer is awaiting uniforms and other equipment at the armory on W. Preston street. The boys are anxious to get off, and will leave as soon as their new pack arrives. For the last time before leaving the city, the whole company posed outside the armory, while an Afro man took the snapshot that appears on the front page. Even the mascot was glad of the opportunity to let Baltimoreans get a view of its many fighters and did not wink an eye during the operation. Members of the company expressed themselves as highly appreciative of the efforts of the Afro-American and other interested parties to have the Company expanded into a regiment. They feel that the long service of the members of the company and its venerable captain who is the ranking captain of the state, deserved better treatment of the state authorities, and are making no complaints, and like good soldiers are swallowing their chagrin. The company is now a part of the First Separate Battalion of Washington. Y. M. C. A. SACRED CONCERT The Sabbath Glee Club, of Richmond, Va., was in the city Sunday and gave a Sacred Concert at Ames M. E. Church, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. They were assisted by the Alphian Glee Club of this city. A large audience greeted the clubs and the program was excellent, web rendered by both clubs. Well clubs are well represented, well clubs of whom are Christian men. Either one of the clubs will do credit to any audience. After the concert the Alphian Club gave the Richmond boys a reception at the Y. M. C. A. Building. A light luncheon was served and good fellowship was in evidence on all sides. There were several short talks by members of both clubs at the close of which Mr. Thompson, the president of the Sabbath Glee Club presented five dollars to Secretary Booker as a small contribution of the club towards the new building. The Richmond Club left Monday morning for Atlantic City. AROUSE NORTHWEST RESIDENTS The beating of Howell Thomas by two policemen several weeks ago and the subsequent incarceration of the young man upon the alleged false testimony of the officers has aroused citizens of Northwest Baltimore to protest to the Police Board against the general behavior of policemen in the neighborhood. Witnesses of the affair say that the beating of Thomas was unprovoked, and that the policemen intimidated them from coming to the trial to testify. He also said that those men are entirely too free with girls in that neighborhood and are frequent visitors in houses where they have no business. An attempt is being made to get sworn statements to present to the Police Board. RED CROSS FUND NEARLY $100 When the promised contributions are received the Red Cross Fund being collected by local ladies for the benefit of East St. Louis refugees will reach the $100 mark. The committee in charge under Mrs. R. W. Thomas and Mrs. S. C. Fernandis are hoping to get the check to Washington by the end of this week. Clothing is also being collected at the Day Nursery, and the women are urging contributions to be sent immediately so that several barrels may be sent away as soon as possible. BUTLER WINS SHOOT.

Avenue passers by forget the weather in listening to Elder Rodger's plain talks. A STRAW RIDE A Straw Ride starting from the residence of Mr. W. I. Chatman, Phoenix, Md., ended in a dance at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Watkins, Monkton, Md. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. A. Cuyjet, Philadelphia; Mrs. Evans Fernandis, Mrs. Rob Clarke, Mrs. Rob Mason, Miss Mary Hughes, Miss Alice Mitchell, Miss Mable Fernandis, Miss Emma Mason and Miss Dorie Mason, all of Baltimore. Girls Wanted to Train as Nurses Young women, who want to make themselves capable nurses either for service at home, or at the front are being urged to enroll for the Nurses' Training course at Provident Hospital. The Superintendent, Dr Harry Brown says that at least five young women are accommodated. What happened when she wouldn't "wind" There were interesting doings at the corner of Druid Hill avenue and Biddle street Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, when a big seven passenger auto, driven by a Jewess, stalled in the middle of the carttracks and blocked all traffic for several minutes. The efforts of a dozen or more spectators, all learned in the lore of the automobile to get the monster startled, amused and delighted a crowd of thirty or more streeturchins, who were attracted to the scene. Driven by the Jewess, who sat in the wheel, to "wind her up" several huskies tried manfully in the street of their brow to crank the bakery car. While they were hoorling, the crews of several street cars got together and pushed the auto off the tracks into Druid Hill avenue. Once out of the way, "experts" resumed their efforts to diagnose the trouble. The engine was opened, and interested parties peered into the vitals of the car, moved the levers and gave opinions, white the arching clamored over the fender and on the sides and likewise urged a big strong newcomer to "wind her up." When the situation appeared almost hopeless, the newcomer did succeed in "vinding" her up. Those in front barely time to throw themselves out of the way before the big car started. Those on the side were thrown right and left as the woman driver, clearly a novice, got firm hold on the wheel and guided safely down Biddle street. PORTERS AND JANITORS MEET The Bank Porters and Janitors held their first public meeting at Elks Hall, W. P. Dean street, last Friday night. The were two new members and several others, who announced Thomas Smith, Jerry Ireland, Milton White and William E. Thomas were among the speakers. The remarks of the president were as follows: "Now members and friends, it becomes my duty to state in brief, my attitude and the purpose, and intention of the association. This association was organized about four years ago, its purpose being to aid the sick, and bury the dead, and today this association shall be the same and carry out its purpose, shall stand only for that which is just and right. It shall stand on its fundamental principals, honesty, truth, unity, protection and concrete brotherhood. For you must remember, 'Unity There THE BROOKLYN C. A. ROBINSON, President is Strength." It has well been said, "United we stand, Divided we fall." Now let us come together. Every Porter and Janitor in the City of Baltimore and establish a precedent that will go down in history for the succeeding ages of the world and let there be light forever. Be Christian men, be honest men, be truthful men, and be steadfast men. Mind a few knocks. Every other concern gets it. Take the Wise Men for instance, the oldest order in the world now, they had their knocks, the lessons now they had their theils, the judgments, the Epiphanians, Moses, Nagaritles, Elits, Jones, Fisherman, Good Hope, and all others. So why should not the Bank Porters and Janitors come in for their share. Even the church of God, the religion of Jesus Christ as far back as the year 73 of the sixth thousand. The same things happened in the Church, Societies and also in business. Now when you feel that you are going to have an alteration with a man, you prepare for it. So let us prepare to meet conditions by perfecting a strong Union, a powerful organization of an exceedingly large membership with men of good moral standing. I never shall forget a remark that has been often made in my church by my pastor, Rev. Thomas. He said, "Fut your hand, in God's hand, and if you will do this, I will assure you that you shall be able to march on to success." Men. I pledge allegiance to this association, and to its members here, which stand for one indivisible foundation of Liberty and justice to all. Now in conclusion, I shall state this to those who desire to become members, you may make application at the close of the meeting. Young men I am disgusted to see in the daily papers "Negro Stickers." You know it has been well said. 'Old men for Council, and young men for War.' I encourage you to be brave, and patriotic, and always willing and ready to raise arms in the defence of your country, for a cause that which is just and honorable, because the slogan of this association is not a mere phrase, but an active DUTY." The meeting was closed by an invitation to all to meet again Friday, September 7th. Benediction by the chaplain, Mr. Milton White. CAPT. WHITE RECOVERING Captain William A. White, of 422 N. Pine street is recovering after a serious operation at the Mercy Hospital. Mr. Eugene Aldama Jackson, organist and choreal master of St. Marks M. E. Church, New York, spent a few days in Baltimore enroute to Richmond, Va. While in the city he was the guest of William S. Young, 1146 Arroye avenue. CANNING EXPERT ILL Mrs. Helen Shaw, state expert on canning, who has been giving demonstrations and lectures on food conservation in the city for the past three weeks, has found it impossible to continue her work. Heat and overwork are the probable causes. Monday Mrs. Shaw was billed to begin her campaign in Crisfield but was unable to reach that place until the end of the week. CLUB HOLDS RAFFLE The Goodwill Pleasure Club held a raffle at $3 Warner street. Thursday evening of last week. Many were in attendance. Miss Ida Kenny, of 1007 Angle avenue, won the first prize, a $5 gold piece. CARNIVAL FOR CHURCH The Hiawatha Club gave a successful block carnival in the 900 block of Warner street this week. The proceeds were for the benefit of John Wesley M. E. Church. INCREASE OF BATHS AT WALTERS Five thousand and four men, women boys and girls made use of the Bath House on Argyle avenue during July an increase of 800 over July of last year. 2582 girls and women, and 3182 boys and men are included in this estimate.

Willie Jones, former featherweight Champion of Waffish Bay West Africa and Lightweight Champion of German Southwest Africa retires from the ring, now in Business in his city under his real name, Pram Warren. Swakopmund German Southwest Africa, Aug. 7, 1917—Willie Jones, real name is Priam Warren, was born at Cape Town, South Africa, South Shields England and made himself known to the public where he fought Doigie to a standstill in 1891. The only fifteen years old he had the punch and ability of a fighter who had been in the business for years. In 1893 Jones left South Shields, England for Walfish Bay, Africa, landing at Walfish Bay March 3rd. He challenged young McDonald, holder of the Featherweight Championship and belt of Walfish Bay for a fifteen round battle the boys met in May. Jones lost the hardest fight of his career when he went down to defeat. McDonald knocking him out in the tenth round to a foul blow, the referee gave the decision to McDonald for the betting was heavy in McDonald's favor. was heavy. After Jones lost to McDonald he improved wonderfully. He met and defeated the best men that could be pitted against him in Walfish Bay, winning twenty-six battles, seven through the knockout route and lost to Charlie Adams of Kimberly, South Africa. In 1895 he challenged Young McDonald for the Featherweight Championship and Belt of Walfish Bay and the boys met on July twenty nights. Jones turned the trick knocking McDonald out in the twelfth round winning the Featherweight Championship and Belt of Walfish Bay. West Africa. After Jones became champion, he could not get many featherweights and took on lightweights and made a wonderful success at it, fighting all the men in his class and over. He left Walfish Bay and returned to South Shields, Eng., where he met Joe Jackson, the lightweight Champion of German Southwest Africa. October 1896, knocked Jackson out in eighteen rounds. It was claimed at that time by Jackson's friends that it was due in parts to a fluke after Jackson's fight with Jones he returned to Swatpoundmund German. Southwest Africa and Jones was determined wrest the lightweight title from Jackson he followed Jackson to German West Africa and challenged Jackson in 1898. Oct 5th for the lightweight Championship of German West Africa the boys met Joe 26th. 1898 for the title Jones knocked Jackson out in the twentieth and just eighteen seconds before the termination of the contests. It was a sensational finish up to that time both boys had put up a remarkably good battle and it did not look as if Jones would stop the champion. In April 2500, Jones met with an accident having to undergo a very serious operation four weeks from the time of his operation he recovered and his doctor advised him to retire from the ring unbeaten and holding titles. Jones saved most of his money he made in fighting and sailed July 7th. 1900 for Hamburg Germany with 17,000 on his person or $5,000 in American money to go in the Salon Business. Jones had a remarkable fighting record. He scored one hundred and twenty victories, thirty-nine by the knockout route, having seven draws, lost one by four knockouts, fenchel winning nine and McDonald and lost three fifteen round battles, one to Charlie Adams of Kimberly, South Africa. In conclusion, I regret to say I am sorry of Jones' departure. I hope to meet him some day. His departure from me is like a precious gift that has gotten away. Jones does not need any praises from me for he knows he is liked by 'everybody, not for the cleverness in the ring, but for his manly appearance and pristine Jones was presented with a costly heavy solid gold watch and chain, a diamond stiching and a large diamond ring. Jones turns to me when bidding me farewell and said, "If I have left all my friends behind I am taking with me the titles and my belt. Yours truly. CHARLES MITCHELL, Manager of Willie Jones, German Southwest Africa.
