That colored men will have a fine opportunity to fill places in the army skilled workers in various trades is indicated by the following letter that Major S. S. Harbald, of the 92nd Infantry, has sent broadest through out the country from the headquarters of the division at Camp Punston, Kansas:
You have undoubtedly learned by this one of the formation of the 92nd mission National Army to be composed of colored soldiers. In order to remove certain existing handicaps and organization it is essential to secure a number of technically trained men, and skilled artisans of the various trades, such as civil engineers, menographers, typists, auto repairers, technicians, telegraph and radio operators, telecom, cable-splicers, draftsmen, plumbers, pharmacists, burrowers and clerks.
The available number of specialists as secured by the draft has been quite small in most instances and nil in the others.
We are aware and success of this division should be or the greatest interest to the Near East as well as to the United States in general, and if the need of these specialists was brought to the attention of the public we believe there would be a big response by means of enlistments to eliminate these barriers to our defense.
For General C. C. Bailon, commanding the 92nd division, has presented the urgent necessity of these specialists to the War Department and requested that all recruiting officers be directed to enlist for Foot-service, Colored, Regular Army, building the requirements as stated
The general procedure for these enlistments would be for the applicants to report to the nearest recruiting office and apply for enlistment in the Post-service, Colored, Regular army, stating their qualifications as specialists and presenting bona fide evidence of same, and requesting that they be transferred upon enlistment either to the Field Signal Dattation on the Engineer Regiment, or Division of the Sherman, Ohio. Dependence is invited from all who are interested, and communication should be addressed: "The Personnel Officer" fund Division, Camp Pinson, Kansas.

REV. W. P. STANLEY
TO SAIL FOR AFRICA
Rev. Walter Payne Stanley, who for the past two years, has been a student at the Union Theological Seminary at Pittsburgh, is in the city visiting his mother and renewing old acquaintances. Within the next two or three weeks, Rev. Stanley will sail for British East Africa to take up a rigorous work among the British native troops under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.
Young Stanley is a native of this city, graduating from the Colored High School. Following his graduation he was employed in several capacities with the Afro-American. He then entered Lincoln University, completing the collegiate course and graduating with the high honors. Union Theological Seminary and was in his second year at that institution when he was urged by Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. to take up the association work either in France or as African Africa. He chose the latter field.
His first from Baltimore to enter the Y. M. C. A. work abroad. Rev. Stanley has his arrival on foreign shores, will find a friend who, like him, vigorous, manly, and with the adventurous and self-scrophing spirit of the pioneer, have embraced the dangors of the submarine and German foe, in order to be of service to their fellowmen.
Stanley will preach at the
Missionary Baptism Church
on Sunday morning.
The Latest Addition To Our "Family"
The accompanying cut is a reproduction of the latest acquisition to The Afro-American plant. This press will run at the speed of 3500 per hour, the paper being printed, falded and pasted. This is the first machine of its kind to be installed in a Negro printing plant in the United States and marks a distinct epoch in Negro Journalism. Come to the Afro-American office any Friday afternoon and see how "The Best Paper in Maryland is printed."
Washington, D. C., Dec. 14.—The American people are depending upon the United States Food Administration to see that our soldiers, Allies and ourselves have plenty of food at as reasonable a price as the war conditions will allow. This is one thing to remember, that we are living in war times; hence we must govern ourselves accordingly.
The number of Food Administration window cards in the windows of loyal homes is one of the best signs that they who pass may see that the people of those houses have pledged themselves to do what their Government asks them to do in the saving of wheat, meat, fats and sugar, by using less of these, foods, and substituting other foods in their stead. So don't be a slacker. Let other people know that you are with them in doing your "bit." If you have no card in your window, get one from the Federal Food Administrator of your State. If you want to have that "great, grand and glorious feeling," do all the things your Government asks you to do.
The Food Administration does not want you to go hungry. The Food Administration wants you to have a plenty to eat, but you are asked not to eat all you want of those foods which we must ship to our soldiers and the allies. Eat a little less meat, wheat, fats and sugar, and all you need of other foods. Patriotic people are cheerfully making personal sacrifices in their eating. This is not the time for the "big cats."
SWEET POTATOES FOR BREAD
Tuskegee, Ala., Dec. 8.—The bakery at the Tuskegee institute has been successfully experimenting with sweet potatoes as a partial substitute in making bread. This bread is composed of approximately 10 white flour and one whole bread muffled sweet flour and one whole bread muffled sweet flour. The result of the combination has been the saving of about 200 pounds of flour each day and there is no very apparent difference between this bread and the bread which is made wholly of wheat flour. The potato bread be used exclusively as a potato substitute as a part of Tuskegee's program of war economy. A booklet describing somewhat in detail this experiment with sweet potatoes has been prepared at the institute.
CHORAL SOCIETY SCORES.
Despite the heavy snowstorm, more than eight hundred music lovers of Baltimore attended the recital given by the Consopolitan Choral Society at Bethel A. M. F. Church Thursday evening. The society rendered most excellently "The Heavens Are Telling," and Harry T. Burdough's "Deep River." Miss Lillian Evans, of Washington, was the soloist. While she has a good voice, well controlled, her selections were somewhat disappointing. Owing to a delayed rehearsal, she missed Holland Hayes the Boston tenor, reached the church. He rendered with fine effect several selections.
Much credit is due Rev. Charles E. Stewart, director of the society for the success of the concert.
BALTIMORE, MD., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1917.
BOYS AT CAMP MEADE ENJOY COMFORTS NOT FOUND IN CITY; NEED GAMES TO AMUSE THEMSELVES WITH
Soldiers Spend Many Idle Hours For Lack of Amusements. Y. M. C. A. Cannot Supply All. Folks At Home Not Doing Their Bit. "Non-Coms" Get Warrants. A Trip Thru the Hospital. Other Activities Fraternal Orders Could Help Greatly.
Camp Meade, Md., Dec. 12—While Baltimoreans are hovering around stoves, conserving every lump of coal as they would a gold dollar, and wondering whether they will be able to get a sufficient supply to last through the winter, the soldier boys at camp here are laughing and around huge kitchens, entering theirselves as best they may while undergoing the rigorous training Uncle Sam has mapped out for them.
Well housed, well clothed and well fed, the boys are looking the picture of health and barring colds, they are standing up finely in their new environment. There are, of course, some kickers (they can be found everywhere) but the percentage of dissatisfaction among the soldiers, is as yet well known.
Nursery circulated in various localities that the men were not properly fed and were suffering from the cold have no foundation whatever. All, or most of the men have wooden sweaters furnished by the Red Cross and uniforms are being furnished as fast as they can be secured.
In company with Lieutenant J. H. Williams, the writer made a visit to see how my boys are getting along and carefully noted conditions. A visit to one of the kitchens (we don't know the military mans for kitchen) disclosed great sides of beef, sugar cured hams, sides of bacon and canned goods in profusion.
"The boys get a plenty to eat," said one of the captains in commenting on the food question. In my company, I make it my business to go into the mess hall at least one meal a day to see how my boys are getting along and if they are being properly fed. The food is well cooked and it comes hot from the oven right to the soldiers' mess pans. On Thanksgiving, in my company, after every one of the soldiers had eaten as much as they could crum of turkey and other things there were still three large pans of sheared turkey left. There is certainly no cause for criticism as far as food is concerned."
Visits to a number of the barracks reveal the same condition of affairs.
"Tak cone of these three times a day before meals." With these words the private was dismissed. He "took his medicine," saluted and departed for his barracks with visions of a holy day at the hospital-shattered.
The health of the men at camp is being looked after in a manner that would surprise those who do not know the thoroughness with which Uncle Sam is going into the war game. Every facility for the prevention of the spread of disease is at hand and contiguous cases are immediately isolated in order to prevent an epidemic. At present there are several cases of pneumonia and one of spinal meningitis. As a result of the last case, al of the officers have been incubated as a measure of prevention, and the men will hals most likely be within a short time.
"We are very careful here," said Dr. Williams, "and we have to be. The so-called ordinary complaints, such as messes, numps etc., are dealt with thoroughly in order to prevent contagion.
In the medical reserve corps of the 588th Infantry are First Lieutenants A. L. Curtis, J. H. Williams, James Wittich, William A. Harris and Oscar W. DeVaughn. First Lieutenant L. A. Eutler is the Regimental Dentist.
In the medical reserve corps of the 551st Artillery are Captain r. N. Jackson, First Lieutenants W. J. Howard and T. E. Jones. First Lieutenant C. Frank Carter is the Regimental Dentist.
The dentists are being worked overtime at present as can be easily imagined when it is considered that they have to look after the teeth of nearly six thousand soldiers. It is expected, however, that two or three dentists will be added, both to the Artillery and infantry in the near future.
In the regimental hospitals the orderlies, which have hitherto been white men, will be replaced by colored soldiers, and the whites will be sent to other places.
Rev. Don S. Colt, of Baltimore, proclaimed at D 39 J. M. C. A. on Tuesday. At the conclusion of the sermon 155 soldiers came forward and promised to lead better lives.
On Wednesday Rev. J. A. Whitted, pastor of Penn Memorial Church, Philadelphia; Dr. E. W. Johnson and Dr. H. A. Childs, president and corresponding secretary, respectively, of the Pennsylvania State Baptist Convention visited the camp and spoke to the soldiers.
The colored officers are making great preparations and preparing daily for the football game to be played with Howard University in Washington. The officers will be accompanied by a bugle and drum corps and several hundred of the drilled men will be allowed to make the trip to the Capital City to witness the game and root for their commanders.
Bandmaster Thomas has had quite a hundred applicants, for the Infinity Band and when the instruments arrive most week, the process of "weading out" will begin. Howard Venable of Baltimore, is among those who have applied for a place in the band and several members of Baltimore's famous Metropolitan Band are also being looked upon with favor. Ronald Rayne and Charles E. White, both of Baltimore, will "tool" their way into the 368th Infinity. Others who are on the band list are: Saxophone; Stewart Scott, Philadelphia; Trombone; Irwin Pollard, Philadelphia; Cornell, Walter Purnell, Philadelphia; Edward Alexander, Little Rock, Ark; Chancee Waters, Bryn Mawr, Pa; Charliness Gordon, C. Widgeon, Ros-
ton, Mass.; Bernard Thomas and Beal Thomas; Washington; Charles W. Harbert, Jas W. Thuckman, Jas Patterson, Thornton Randolph, William W. Planner, all of Philadelphia.
Have you a game of any kind—donkeys, checkers, chess—anything to amuse the soldier boys during their idle moments? If you have, by all means see that they are sent to Camp Meade. If there are any things the boys would appreciate, they certainly are games. When there is nothing to do, when severe weather keeps the boys indoors, or in the evening after work is over, it is then that there comes fits of homeickness, largely because of the few amusements. True, there are the Y, M, C, A, buildings, but the two in which the colored boys are looked after, can, after all, furnish only a part of the amusements needed for six thousand men. As one o f the officers put it: "A checker game will interest dozens of men for hours and help them while away many a lonesome hour." Continuing in the same strain the officer said: "It, as some claim, the white soldiers are treated better than the colored boys, it is not the fault of the government which they serve, but because of a back of the right sort of interest among those at home.
"In many of the white barracks, the men have every conceivable device for their amusement furnished by fond relatives and friends, while our folk seem to take little or no interest in the recursive side of the soldier's life, but content themselves either with criticizing the government, which is doing everything for the comfort of the men, or making great big speeches telling what ought to be done and doing nothing."
The officer said that as soon as the men had been in camp for a few months, they would be gled, from the company funds, to furnish their own amusements, but at present, were unable to do so and would appreciate any help that might be offered. He declared that the white fraternal orders had been very active in furnishing games and the like for their men and suggested that the colored fraternal orders could easily do the same. DATTERY C BOYS PROGRESSING Despite the last two weeks, the boys of Battery C. 351st Field Artillery have been complimented by their regimental commender for meritorious work on the drill field.
Last Saturday was a memorable day for the non-commissioned officers. Warrants were presented them by Colonel Cole, who gave a heart-breaking talk in which he pointed out to the men the responsibilities of their respective positions. The following men were warranted as sergeants: Harvey Young, Charles Dennis, Samuel Cooper, Charles Powell. The above Continued on Page Six.
COLORED FAMRERS OF DALLAS ATTEND SCHOOL
COLORED FAMRERS OF DALLAS ATTEND SCHOOL
165 Spend Three Days With Demonstration Agents—Home Put in Model Shape.
Selma, Ala., Dec. 12.—One hundred and sixty-five colored farmers of Dallas county, besides women and children, attended a three-day Extension School held under the auspices of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and conducted by Thomas M. Campbell, district agent, Truskeeger Institute, Harry Selma, special United States Demonstration Agent for colored farmers, Company of Alabama, field assistant in seed treatment work, under the Bureau of Plant Industry and H. T. Tookle, local agent for Dallas county.
The meeting was held at Selma, on the L. and N. Railroad about nine miles from Selma, and at a church one mile West of the station. The instructors selected for their operation a home of a colored farmer near the church. Here they taught by the farmers what to do and how to do it. Taking the house as they found it, the instructors showed how to make hot-boils, cedi frames, rebuilt the hen coils, pruned and sprayed the oeckard, mixed the whitewash and whitewashed the house, built a sanitary closet, bottomed chairs and put the premises and everything about the yard in sanitary condition. No complete building would not have given his house if he had been away while the work of renovation was going on.
Another interesting feature of the three days' school was the exhibit of the products of the year. The farm had made corn, potatoes, garden products, meat, moleshes, peanuts and velvet being in abundance. It was unobtainably the most insistent school of the New York farmers ever held in Central Alabama.
Housewives Frightened by Rumer of U. S. Enemies.
Washington, dec. 12. "The thought that "Food will win the war" is giving our enemies much concern. There are rumors and rumors being circulated that the Government intends to take a part of all of their earned fruits and vegetables for the use of the soldiers. These egos are untrue and start from enemy guests who try to influence people against their satisfied with their own Government. These persons, here among us, why try to influence people against their Government by faith-finding and the spreading of tales told them by our enemies are just as dangerous to our country as are the Germans. The following statement has been issued on this subject by Herbert Hower, United States Food Administrator: "We have reports from various sections of the country of cooks, glues, and confidence operators who are going from house to house purporting to be authorized by the Food Administration and other Departments of the Government to collect or commemorate foodstuffs for the Government or the Army. "I wish to say emphatically that no department of the Government has or will ever make such commands on house holders, and that all such people are petty friends and should be held for the police. The Government agencies are investigating various cases and information is sought of all such persons by this Department.
New York, December 10

differences among Negroes, compiling
rapes in native white and black

NATIVE SOLDIERS MAKING BRILLIANT ECORDS IN WAR
THE FOURTH OF JULY 1914
STANLEY FENWICK and LEONARD HAWKINS
We were driving as fast as the illuminated oil pig would go; for as soon as the heavy lashes had lost their sting thru his thick hide, he would take up his usual gait as though weighing out a perplexing problem. Night was closed in upon us; heavy clouds and a cool strong wind from the west warned us that a storm was fast approaching. This was anything but agreeable especially so because there was no habitation in sight. A keen flash of lightning disclosed to persistent companion, the steeple of a church in the distance so with renewed courage we conked our nag to go on, while he deliberately stopped, to decide if he must go or stay where he was right at the fork of the road. Finally the nag, my companion and I turned to settled village; whose only light shown was the windows of dwellings where the shades had not yet been drawn.
Somehow I managed to keep in the road, my eyes not being able any longer to penetrate the darkness, "Hallo there!" I called, as I heard a dragging, stumbling step near my buggy, "Hello," came the reply, "what's wanted."
"Can you tell where I'll be able to get a night's lodging in this village?" "Yep, if you are a drummer you can a neighbor just a little way down here, lodgers drummers." For once I was glad I had this distinction, and now I am me. I was told to turn at the first corner to my right; then turn into a saw-dust road to my left; then drive straight ahead, and the first house I would come to would be the refuge sought; sure enough by following directions we were warmly welcomed, and duly entered into a comfortable and cherry room.
My companion; throw his dress apparel in all directions, and made one dive for the spacious four poster; which looked temptingly inviting I had a stronger desire for a good cigar with the storm still threatening. I made my way to the nearest village store.
Inside, the usual crowd of loafers had formed a circle, around the cracked and rusty stove. My entrance caused a little drift in their conversation; as they mentally surveyed me as a stranger, while at the same time I was chewing on a piece of bread. Some of the topics were tasted a few were chewed upon, but none seemed really worth digesting.
All the time my attention was centered on a dried up wrinkled old creature; who sat almost opposite me, and was hearing nothing. Finally he asked, "Ever been in this town before?" "No." I replied, and mentally I hoped I would never see its name on the map.
Not in the least offended by my short answer the voice continued, "Some place in your nerves need quiet, but if you want excitement you must go further. Nothing ever happens here, more than a dog fight and so on, so you have peaceable, and can build citizens." "Then this is certainly a model town," I managed to say.
French Point.—Two hundred and sixty-four personal citations for bravery have been won by the Negro soldiers of a single Somali battalion since it landed in France in June, 1916. Of these citations 190 were gained in the fierce battles of the Alse and the remainder about Verdun.
The Somalis, many of whom were recruited in British Somaliland, are independent and find the discipline of an organized army severe. Their French officers, however, are accustomed to deal with these freedom loving tribesmen, and by appeal to their pride of duty, they have been able to maintain their devoted obedience to such an exertion that they rapidly become excellent souliers. These men learn to handle modern infantry weapons quickly and furnish many specialists in the grenade throwing, rifle and machine gun sections of French regiments, for the men are of high intelligence and are full of natur-
"Yes, there is not another in the state that has been named three times and has a history to boot."
This was a great deal to say for such a town as this appeared to be. "Well I should certainly like to hear its history." Harrison after breaking off a good bank stock of tobacco, deposited it within his hollow jaw, readjusted his lean legs, and shemed several times in order to silence his audience. "It was many years ago when there came from an unknown source, and also for an unknown reason, a family of spirits called wizards; into this little village. The peace of the inhabitants seemed to have vanished for a long time, and the vigil patiently awaiting the dawn of a new day; from the closets and the ward-robes could be heard the endless clicking, clicking of a number of invisible scissors. Nothing that could be cut by scissors ever escaped these tireless plagues. Books and clothing seemed to delight them mont. Gems, coins, and even sort were even clipped from the wearer's back.
"At night there seemed no relief from the tormentors, for if the hair was long enough, the vectim would awaken to find it tied in numerous loops; in such case he had been driver worse, the hair loops serving as strapups. The neighborhood was almost in a panic: trying to invent some means to rid the village of the plague. The Bible was put under the pillow at night to sleep upon. A new sleeve was put over it, in order for the intruder to gain entrance it would have to pass through one hole then out another, until all had been passed. "Dawn would usually break upon them, thus forcing the wizards again into quietude. Shut from the door, the chimney, but a roaring fire of logs did not seem a welcome retreat.
"The cattle suffered equally as bad as the owners of them. It was not an usual sight to see a horse or cow racing with all its might over fences then gates, horses neighing, cows being knocked down, and the spirit. We had bob-tailed cows and horses and some with no tails at all. The mane of the horse if it was left on, would be so tied with knots that a curry comp could get it out. We had no unceasingly, devices of every kind had failed to keep the clippers away for any length of time. One day, the whole neighborhood met at the town hall and after many propositions finished, we send for a certain priest in Ireland.
"He came, and that day was one of joy, and has never been forgotten. His blessing he left with them, and to this day no spirit has ever clipped in this village. Gifts of various kind remain to me, and one remains to verify my statement beautiful green spot bounded on one side by the swift flowing Quepon and to the cast side by the stately pines of the Blue Ridge. If you were asked to whom it belongs you will be told to no one, if you should ask why; you will be told to the priest's Field and the story will be narrated as I have told you."
initiative-valuable adjuncts in these branches of fighting--while at hand grenade throwing they are second to none.
They are clean of habit, the Somalis, who are strict Mohamedans, never touch alcohol. In fact, they look on any man given to intoxication with the greatest disdain. They are self-sacrificing to a degree, as was evidenced during their attack on La Bouvelle, when they had to clear out the shelters in a trench which they had just captured, and which were still huge there. One of their European geants was about to enter a dugout known to be full of armed enemies, when he was pushed aside by a Somalis private with the exclamation "Lot me go first! You are married." A widely prevalent fallacy has the Negroes with savagery against the Norwegians. They say this charge has been disproved time and again after fights at Verdun, in Champagne and north of the Aisne.

THE DIVINE POWER
The bible records the sayings of the wisest men of olden times through their Angel Guides who came to them in the sacred Spirit Power of God.
Uncle Sam requires keen eyesight, and it is your duty to take care of your eyes so that you will be ready to do your best whether on the firing line or at home. Be ready for the best that is in you and to that end you must TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR EYES.
All prophets were great Mediums, and the terms "words of God" "Man of God" Prophet, see all means mediumship and refer to spirit messages. Abraham was a medium and Moses mediumship and refer to spirit messages, saying, Let God speak to Moses and you (Moses) speak to us and we will obey. Deborah was a Medium, (Judges 4:4-11) Balam was a Medium (Numbers 22:9-13, 24:3-4). God and Nathan were Mediums and they came to King David. Jeremiah too, was employed by a King as a Medium (Jeremiah 37:17). His mediumship may be seen from 1:5-9. People expected him to go into trance, but he affirms that his psychic impressions are fully sufficient and that his prophecies are true. He read Isaiah 50:4.5. Moses desired all people to become Mediums. Numbers 11:29. Kannz was a Medium (Judges 4:9:10) Daniel was a great Medium 1.9 and 5:11. So were Solomon and Samuel. John the Baptist Paul and Jesus received and delivered helpful messages between the unseen and seen world.

DISGRACING THE UNIFORM
God helps those, who help, them-
selves
It is a very poor kind of officer who allows a street mob to intimidate him into removing his uniform and leaving town by the first train. Yet this is what happened to two young lieutenants who wanted to visit relatives in Mississippi. The second incident, which happened only last week, serves to call attention to the fact that the trouble is not with the people of Vicksburg, Mississippi, but with the officers themselves.
When Uncle Sam granted certain graduates of Fort Des Moines Training Camp the right to wear officer's uniforms and shoulder bare, he was of the impression that they were men enough to wear them honorably, never dishonorably. Uncle Sam expects of his officers as he does of the dragged man that the uniform will mean as much to them as the flag meant to tell black color bearer in the war of the rebellion. In effect this sergeant told his commander that he would hold up the flag or "report to God the reason why." Uncle Sam expects, and the people at home have right to expect, that officers and men, whether in the North or in the South will keep their uniforms on "for report to God the reason why."
Appeals to the War Department or to the President on the part of officers insulted of Vicksburg, Miss. are a sign of palpable and inexquisite weakness, unworthy of the manliness and the courage that mark the solitude and the officer. When these men

ND A CORRESPONDENT
TO FRANCE
Out at Camp Grant Rockford, Ill.
the other day, Second Lieutenant
Bartonneau, one of the ten
french officers whipping the men in-
to trim for the work "over there" had
this to say of the colored men in the
French army:
The French colonial troops are inviable—wonderful fighters. They cannot bear up in the rigors of trench fighting, because they are not used to the cold and the wet, but they are wonderful on the attack. They tear only sobraptel. They are not afraid of bullets or cold steel, and the Germans, make no attacks when they now these men are, before them, they usually run from these men because they run colored men no prisoners."
Only in this indirect way, this three expression are we on this side, the water getting news of the deeds the glory of colored men on the front. Directly no word of
colored colonel of the American regulars and guardsmen with Pashing has gotten thru the Associated Press. Not that the folk especially the colored folk are not interested, or that our boys are doing things not worthy of being mentioned, but alas and slack, colored newspapers and magazines have no correspondents with the soldiers in France. The Associated Press is going to white newspapers, has not in the trouble to report the doof of the colored contingent. In 1834 the Negro Press Association took up and debated the suggestion of maintaining a newspaper co-endent in France. But the proplears to have been dropped
sickion lias has been made that with our giving for the Red and Y. M. C. A. work, a public be raised also to give due publicity the activities of the soldiers a France as well as those that go later. Certainly no work is important and deserving immediate attention. It was expected that the nation at appreciate the worth and sacrifices colored soldiers, if they only sent and indirect information to their doings in the field. may be that such a desirable can be carried on by the united
Thirteen hanged, forty-one imprisoned for life, nine for short terms and five acquitted represent the summary sentence passed upon the members of the 24th Infantry, who shot up Houston, Texas on the night of August 23rd last. Thus is closed another dark chapter in the annals of American Democracy. Closed but not forgotten. It will never be forgotten that these bold regulars, who broke the law and merited the punishment, were the victims of southern crackers and copperheads, who baited them on and taunted them beyond human endurance.
For the acquitted men, some of whom are said to owe their freedom to the fact that they turned state's evidence and testified against their comrades; or the non-coms of the 24th, who left the Training Camp at Fort Des Moines before receiving their commissions in order to assist the court martial in running down the guilty soldiers and procuring their confessions, there will be no words of praise. Promotions in the army may come from their actions, but their names will be writ large in the great book as traitors to the traditions of the army and traitors to the race.
Guilty as were these soldiers of the 24th, and as worthy of punishment as they are known to be, the country stands aghast at these severe and summary sentences met out to them. If they ran wild and murdered and terrorized a community, everybody knows that they simply did what lynching parties practice almost daily on a smaller scale in every Southern State from Virginia to Florida and from Missouri to Texas. Everybody feels—whether with full justice or not, the fact remains—these men of the 24th were punished as much because they were colored as because they were guilty.
Indeed, Martha Gruening, who investigated the Houston Uprising for the N. A. A. C. P., felt that Houston was not to be compared to East St. Louis. "It was not the cold blooded murder of innocents, but the work of angry men whose endurance of wrong and injustice had been strained to the breaking point, and who in their turn committed injustices." There was no burning of women and children, no hanging, no torturing of innocent victims." As in every riot, some innocent bystanders were killed, but the intention of the soldiers was not to shoot up the town, but to punish the police for beating up several soldiers. Miss Gruening found the primary cause of the riot in the habitual brutality of the white police officers of Houston in their treatmen of colored people.
And now we ask what has been done, and what will be done to white policeman Sparks, who without provocation, is said to have beat up Private Edwards of the 24th, and later with policeman Daniels (white) shot Corporal Baltimore, military policeman, in performance of his duty at Fort Sam Houston. And what has and will be done to the two white city detectives who boarded a street car and beat up two colored members of the 24th two days before the uprising: Up until now nothing has been done. From all accounts, nothing will be done.
The Houston incident is closed. Yes, closed, but never forgotten.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
Camp McClellan, Ala., Dec. 6. —We read in the Woman's Column of your paper of December 1st, 1917, subject "Our Soldier Boy" where the colored people of our city and State are doing so much for the boys that were drafted by sending them so many nice things to enlighten their minds, but if seems as if they have forgotten that there ever was a voluntary unit of colored boys with colors from the City of Baltimore. The people of Pittsburgh, Pa., appreciate the colored soldier boys more than the people of our race at our own home town does by sending to us tobacco and goodies quite often.

104th Amminton Training, Camp McClellan, Ala.
In East St. Louis, in July, 200 or more of colored people were horribly murdered, and a dozen or so of colored men were given life imprisonment sentences, as a result. In Houston, sometime later, 16 white people were shot and killed, and thirteen colored men are hanged.
These two cases placed side by side,
are a sufficient commentary. Ten
volumes could not say more!

WEEKLY REVIEW AND COMMENTS
BY REV. WILLIAM H. WEAVER
The president's address to Congress on Tuesday of last week, as has been almost unanimously declared by the papers commenting upon it, was not only one of the greatest state documents of the generation, but a message to the world, in which was set forth, in clear and inclusive language, sound argument and convincing logic our nation's stand in this terrible war, now engaging the thought and calling forth all the activities of millions of the world's peoples. The attitude of our government? Why we are in the war? Our aim and purpose? What we hope to accomplish? are questions all so plainly answered that no, one, it seems, may, or will have any good and sufficient reason to ask them again.
That we are in the war, net for revenge, but to put an end to the intolerable wrongs done and planned against us by the sinister masters of Germany"—to overcome which is the apparent evil aim of the war—to crush out that which he denomines "the intolerable thing which the German masters have shown us the ugly face"—the establishment by arms, of military and political domination over the other nations of the world. That our nation is in this war, because it is a conflict in which high principles are at stake—the vindication of right, of honor, of justice to all—the preservation from corruption and destruction of the institutions under which we Americans live—"the very existence of Democracy and Liberty."
The whole address shows the vision and wisdom of a statesman, who broadly forecasts the future. It is indeed fortunate that at this time our nation has at its head a man of such vision and wisdom—a Christian statesman, who in unequivocal terms tells that he is seeking, as he believes every true American is, or should be seeking such an outcome to this awful struggle as "only that which is righteous and of irreproachable intention for our fees as well as for our friend Surely our Press is following in his lead guidance, and we will in bend all of our energies in doing every right thing possible, to win this war; to establish a permanent peace, and as well the permanent continuance and manifestation of the principles of right, honor, honesty justice, democracy and liberty among all men.
In a letter to Mr. Scott, referring to various telegrams and letters of protest received at the War Department to which Mr. Scott had called the Secretary's attention, regarding certain alleged "discriminations against colored draffees." The Secretary states that a full investigation of the matters complained of has been ordered, and emphatically declares that his policy has been and is "to discourage 'discrimination against any persons by reason of their race.'" And he gives the sane reason for adopting and following the said policy, not merely that it is in accordance with what is right, fair and just to all American people, but that the institutions which the nation now at the greatest sacrifice is defending may be safeguarded, and not endangered by any racial discontent or disorders.
In the judgment of the Secretary some of the complaints or charges of discrimination seem unwarranted in the face of the facts that more than one half of the 1250 colored men who completed the course at the Reserve Officers Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, have been commissioned in the U. S. Army, 100 colored physicians and surgeons have received commissions as offences in the *Melical Reserve Corps*, and that a full fighting force of 30,000 colored soldiers in practically every branch of military service, will constitute a division for duty in France under General Ferlingh. The frank statement of the Secretary made in his letter, and the clear presentation of his views on what is expected and required or all citizens at this time of national need and emergency shows him to be a man of not only patriotic sentiments, but also all who are called to defend the nation's honor. This war is, any and every way we look at it, a horrible thing to contemplate, and will work untold hardships and sufferings upon many—and there may be many things that will happen that may call forth honest criticism from us, as well from other classes of citizens—but in the final outcome of it we will have to prove of lasting benefit and great advantage to all. Already it has brought special benefits and opened opportunities to many of our race which hitherto they did not possess and enjoy. "Forgetting the thing which are behind and reaching forth unto those which are before, we should press the mark of the prize," for which we are constantly clamoring, the full recognition of our matthought rights, and the full enjoyment of our citizen privileges, and we can help to the more speedy bringing of this about by discouraging among the race at this crucial time all unrest on their part and suspicion of the government and urging and insuring every one of us to do the best in winning this war—and so win for ourselves the gratitude and honor of our country.
DEMOCRACY
In these would war we re- and hear more about. Democracy than ever before. In the war for the defense of our democracy and liberty
and for, the establishment of, World Democracy and Liberty. If we are to understand by the use which is now being made of the term DEMOCRACY, that there is meant that form of government where sovereign authority and power reside in the people and is exercised either directly by them, or by officers or representatives chosen by them—that is—a state-or government in which the rights or all are the same—and where no 'hereditary or arbitrary differences of rank and privilege prevail'—Then is it such a democracy as is worth white, and for the establishment maintenance and defense of which any sacrifice required may be willingly and cheerfully offered.
JERUSALEM THE HOLY CITY
The latest foreign dispatches tell us 'hat this ancient city, beloved of Jew and Gentile, and especially dear to the heart of every Christian, because of the sacred memories, that cluster about it' has been surrendered by the Turks to the English. That now for the first time for several centuries this spot hallowed and dear to millions will be under Christian government and control. In this fact all followers of the Blessed Sauiour and professors of His holy religion rejoice. and the prayer of all is that it may never again fall in the hands of Saracen, Moslem, or fundel. The question as to whether it will be finally turned over to the Zionist as a home-
land for them in Palestine is still and will be perhaps sometimes to come an unsettled one. But be that question, or not, as it may. We do well to rejoice now, that the city where much of our Lord's life was spent and many of the events connected with his earthly career we most revere transpired, is in the possession of a. Christian nation.
MOORLAND SPEAKS AT COMMUNITY MEETING
A community mass-meeting in the interest of the new building fund of the Colored Y. M. C. A. was held at Bathel A. M. E. Church Wednesday evening. While the cold weather made the attendance somewhat below expectations, the audience made up in appreciation what it lacked in numbers. The speakers included Mr. Francois A. White, president of the Central Y. M. C. A. Mr. S. S. Booker; Mr. Harry, T. Pratt, who made the plea for subscriptions; Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and Mr. John H. Murphy, who presided. Music was furnished by the Symphia Musical Association. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. Sampson Brooks.
In opening the meeting Mr. Murphy called attention to what other cities had done in providing modern buildings and emphasized Baltimore's need in this regard. He mentioned Dr. Moorland as the "New Building King."
Mr. White said that people were making more money now than ever and that this is a day of sacrifice for the good of others. The people everywhere are sacrificing, he went on to say.
"The new building will be a credit to you and the city," he said, "and it remains for you to raise the funds for you to equip and furnish it so that your young men will have a place of proper surroundings."
Dr. Moorland told of the need of places where young colored men will have the right atmosphere, sketched the war work that the Y. M. C. A. is doing among colored men.
He asserted that the spirit of sacrifice meant the making of men and women, and declared that they were the better by it. He said that the new building here contained features that other cities did not possess and would be in every way a monument to the city.
After telling of the spread of the Y. M. C. A. movement among colored men the spoke of the sacrificial spirit which had prompted young men of the race to enter upon Y. M. C. A. works at army cantonments.
Taking up the opportunities that the present world war had made for colored men and women, he urged preparedness so that the advantages gained now may be permanent possessions. The world, he said, needed the best prepared men and women and was not so much concerned about the race of the individual. The Negro must be ready when the call is made for his services.
He concluded with an appeal for funds for the new building.

In behalf of Battery C. 351st Regiment, Field Artillery, permit me to thank you and those responsible for the presentation' on the Victoria, which we have received.

I also wish to extend the thanks of the Battery for the excellent selection of records that accompanied the machine. We have many, many days and nights before us and a multitude of work, but I feel sure that the same will be made much lighter and indeed more pleasant by your thoughtfulness.

prevented even outside teams from

{is the second year since the organiza-

have not had a'representative ‘basket

‘The efforts on’ the part of the Ath-
