XXVI. No. 18. SOME OL SERGEANT WILLIAM TAYLOR EVANCELIST DRAWS CROWD AT BETHEL Drs. A. Clayton Powell and W. Sampson Brooks Conducting Big Revival Meetings RAPS BACKSLIDERS HARD In Powerful Sermon Dr. Powell Hammers Ministers Who Drink Dhiskey and Accept Political Graft. Large crowds of people are attending Bethel Church every night this week to hear Dr. A. Clayton Powell, of New York, and Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, who are conducting a joint revival service under the auspices of the Y. M. A. and Bethel Church. While the cold weather has undoubtedly and some effect upon the meetings, the audiences have rarely numbered fewer than eight hundred. Dr. Powell, who pastors a congregation of three thousand people at Abyssiniah Baptist Church, New York, is one of the best known evangelists in the country, and his sermons during the week have been powerful appeals for uprightness and clean living. He went after the devil and his cohorts with ungloved hands and has generated a religious server seldom witnessed in this city. On Wednesday night Dr. Powell preached from the subject "An Awful Choice" and pictured Lot as the arch backslider of Bible history. He went after the backsliders hammer and tongs, telling them that there was a DR. A. CLAYTON POWELL "dead-line" between God's forgiveness and His eternal wrath beyond which they dare not enter. The preachers also came in for a hauling over the coals when Dr. Powell blamed them for the lax standard of morality. "We might as well be truthful about it," he said. "When we ministers drink whiskey with sinners, when we play pool with sinners, when we give in to friends and accept graft with sinners, when we visit questionable places with sinners, how can we expect those SERGEANT JENKINS same sinners to follow our religious leadership? Some of us are too much like Lot, whom the angels had to throw out of Sodom in order that he might be saved from the burning city." Dr. Brooks opened the revival services Sunday with two powerful sermons to packed audiences. Thursday afternoon he preached a special sermon to women only and the chapel was crowded to the doors. This Sunday morning Dr. Brooks will preach from the subject "The Bleeding Sacrifice." In the afternoon Dr. Powell will preach his famous sermon to meet a Strong Man. At night Dr. Powell will again preach, his suspect being "The Valley of Dry Bones." At the afternoon service, women will be admitted to the gallery. A choir of one hundred voices under the direction of Rev. Charles E. Stewart, furnishes music for each service. The meetings are intended to be city-wide and several ministers have thus far evidenced an interest. Services will be held every night next week. GIVES ANOTHER $25,000 St. Louis, Jan. 7.—Mr. Julius Roswald, the Chicago Philomathist and President of the Sears Roebuck Company, played Santa Claus to the St. Louis citizens by sending his check for $25,000 to help out in the creation of the New Pine St. Department Y. M. C. A. Mr. Rosenwald's offer of $25,000 was conditioned upon St. Louis raising $75,000 for a Young Men's Christian Association for colored men. St. Louis went beyond the condition and is erecting a building costing $190,000 for Y. M. C. A. purposes. $26,000 of this amount has already been paid in by colorate people on their pledge of $50,000. This includes a $5,000 subscription by Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone and a $10,000 subscription by F. L. Williams, school of the Summer High School, both of which have been paid in full. Two other descriptions of $1,000 were made by W. C. Gordon, the undertaker and laundryman, and Dr. W. L. Perry, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, both of whom have made substantial payments on their subscriptions.

WANT COLORED SUPERINTENDENTS Delegation of Ministers Ask School Board For Two Colored Assistant Superintendents COULD SERVE BETTER That the selection of two colored assistant superintendents to look after the interests of the colored schools of the city will mean a stimulation of the work of colored teachers and pupils and that the principal husband has the sanction that thoughtfully large communities having large populations was emphasized before the School Board at its meeting Wednesday. A petition embodying these views was presented by a delegation of ministers including John Hurst, Dr. Ernest Lyon, Dr. W. John Gaines and Dr. George F. Erngr, Jr. After asserting that the colored citizens of Baltimore were interested in the general progress of the community and especially desirous of seeing the colored boys and girls grow in character and efficiency, the petitioners requested that two colored men be appointed Assistants to the Superintendent, each to have charge of equal or nearly equal colored schools, the definite assignments to be made by the Superintendent; and that the two colored Assistants to the superintendent, under the direction of the Superintendent, supervise school work and perform such other duties as may be assigned to them by the Board of School Commissioners. 2. That the two colored Assistants to the superintendent be men who have had at least two years experience in supervisory, work, and five years experience in administrative work as principals in the colored elementary schools of Baltimore City, and whose records give satisfactory evidence of their competency, efficiency, and executive ability. "It is our conviction, based upon long observation and personal experience, that such an arrangement will not only make for improvement in the work and showing of the school elementary schools, but also be the superintendent and to your honorable body in simplifying the administrative problems connected with them. Colored Assistants to the Superintendent, being part and parcel of the colored people themselves, sharing their hopes, their trials, their faith, and their strivings, will give an active insight and an enthusiasm horn of sympathetic understanding. This fact in itself will mean a stimulation of the work of colored teachers and pupils, a more general and more hopeful and helpful cooperation of parents and patrons, and a community lead- ing education that we generously level up the whole mass of colored people. "The principle involved has the sanction of most of the thoughtful people in communities having large colored populations. Concrete of the colored branches of the community may be seen in our own city and state in the work of the Colored Defense Council, the Women's Cooperative Civic League, the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A., just to mention a few instances. Very recently the principle has received frank acceptance in a large 1st LIEUT HENRY RYAN way by President Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of War Newton D. Baker in the appointment as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War of Emmette J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, and who was for eighteen years private secretary to the late Booker T. Washington. This act has received most heavy condemnation in all sections of the country. "We believe your honorable body aims to be fair and liberal in its management of the colored schools. Please permit us to express the hope that the step forward we now respectfully will receive your approval and become operative in the near future. The petition was referred to the rules committee. COLORED TROOAS WIN HONORS IN DRILL COLORED TROOAS WIN HONORS IN DRILL Chicago Soldiers Finish Course of Training With Flying Colors Camp Logan, Houston, Tex., Jan. 4. —Soldiers of the Three Hundred and Seventieth Infantry, formerly the Eighth Illinois Regiment from Chicago, have a good excuse to inflate their cheeks and walk with a swagger. They have just finished two weeks of strenuous training under the critical eyes of Brigadier General A. H. Elanding, commander of the unit of which they are part, and have come through with colors flying. "They are as fine a set of soldiers as I ever hope to command," said General Blanding, who is regarded as one of the army's strictest disciplinarians. "Their work along military lines, as well as their personal conduct, has been beyond reproach and I am extremely proud of them." Forty-nine private and non-coms of the regiment have been selected for promotion to commissions. The colored fighters were submitted into the burden of tests before qualifying for a command. Colonel Franklin A. Denison submitted eighty names for the consideration of General Blanding. After "sizing up" each, General Blanding ordered the most promising among the candidates to take a squad or company on the drill field and put them through the pages. Few failed to come up to the expectations. Every man selected has either a high school or college education. They were judged as to personality, learning, business experience, handling of men and military training. The regiment, which is "attached" to the Thirty-third Division, though brigaded with the Three Hundred and Sixty-ninth Infantry (formerly the Fifteenth) of New York, has a quota of 2,500 men at the present time. Most last year, and it is estimated there are more veterans of the Spanish-American war in the colored organization than any other single guard unit in the country. The equipment of the regiment is complete and the men are eager for the word when they will board transports for the French front.

In speaking of the auditorium, which is to cost $40,000, Colonel Moss said: "Our own colored men have already taken up $10,000 worth of the bonds. We hope that all the bonds will be redeemed. "Our men are going to fight beside the white men and they will die with them. The men in the regiment are 100 per cent Americans and there has been but one conscientious objector. The colored men make good soldiers. They are always ready to follow where their officers lead. I have ninety-five officers who were trained in the camp for colored men at Des Moines, Ia., and they compare favorably with the white officers. Colonel Moss said that the auditorium could be used for target practice in induction woofer and that with the help of the instructor would get instruction in war work. 2500 SECURE EMPLOYMENT Washington, Jan. 7—Rev.

They joined the other various separate companies of the National Guard formed the 372d Regiment. The entire camp is asir and it is generally expected that before the bluebirds sing the Baltimore boys will be behind the trench lines "over there" making preparations to go "over the top." Captain Spencer, who, by the way, has served as senior officer of the First Separate Company for 25 years, and is the senior captain in a general army, will shortly. Should second physical examination be he found to be unable on account of his age to stand the strain that officers will necessitate in France.

The Baltimore. boys are in good spirits and the fact that they, may soon brave the dangers of the marine and later the frightful man, hold no terrors for them, fact they are terrors, what kind of stuff they are. They have never forgotten that in Baltimore for the past quarter of a century they have been affectionately known as the "in soldiers" and now that they have an opportunity to prove that they have been waiting for just this opportunity they will not be found backing. Washington, January 6—John A. Johnson, who has sidelighted those with his beautiful tenor, voice, or a member of the Williams' Singers has left that organization and will in the future devote his time to singing Gospel hymns for the soldier, boys, Rev.

Irane B. Bannister, better known as "Lie" to the Afro-American force, and to the one who called it "Afro-American's one best "bet," like he has done a number of different things during his life of 54 winters, but most notable among them all, possibly, is his accomplishments in the selling of newspapers in general and the Afro, in particular. Eight years ago, "Ike" then Isaac, took out his first ten free copies of the Afro-American Ledger. Since that time his sales of this paper alone have increased an hundred fold, for last week Isaac sold one round thousand (1000) copies of the "Afro" between Friday at 3 o'clock, and Sunday afternoon at the same time. Nor was this "Ike's biggest week, for one week during last summer this same hustling, married man, father of six big, strong, little boy, boy of an hustling, little wife, paid for cash, gave hundred and fifty (1250) Afro-Americans, an achievement boasted of, probably by no other newsboy of color in the wide, wide world. That 'He's' garrulous propensities do not keep him from selling more ISAAC B. BANNISTER dapper is the wonder of everyone who knew him; for he will frequently stay at someone's house with a hundred papers under his arm. "chewing," the rag adopts, anything and everything till dark and Friday, Saturday or Sunday night, and then go out into the street, and make, the "welling ring" with orders of "THE AFRO" to wake the dead almost, and an hour or so afterwards snutter home with $1.50 worth in his seams. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each school week "Ike" attends the preparatory department of Morgan College, where he intends completing a course of study there and later take up journalism, with the fond hope of outshining even the peer of all present day writers, James W. Johnson, of the New York Academy. If anyone wants to know how he "does it"—go to school, support his children and himself and wife, sell more papers than anybody else, talk more than anybody else, just ask him the next time he sells you a paper and he will take up an hour or so of your time and his explaining the whole thing.

MIDNIGHT IN BALTIMORE Chicago, Ill.—So few men reach the age of 70 and when one of our men reaches the 77 mile post you want to just stop everything and congratulate him, and this is what I want to do this week before saying anything to the readers of the Afro-American, I want to congrate Editor John H. Murphy, who celebrated his 77th anniversary on December 25, and then he has given to the race one of the best and clearest papers published. Although 77 years old, he would press you as a man under 30, and he is certainly an active man, furnishing to the world a strong paper. His ideas run high and he is putting them into execution. For he has a modern newspaper office in every particular, and I don't know of a paper of our race published in America so well prepared to do real active newspaper business. His paper comes to him in a big roll like to the great daily papers and he has just installed a press that will run off eight pages at once, cut, fold and count them at the rate of 4,000 an hour. This has been accomplished during this 77th year, and the paper is so well organized that it will just run itself. We are all proud of you Editor Murphy, and I congratulate you Editor Murphy on being one of the boys. Some time ago I used to publish my age, but I have stopped that now, and I am just going right on talking as usual without telling you just how old I am, and then I consider that it is one of your business. I can just coast of my war record and go right 6, but before this war is over some of te boys who are now dressed in the kaki will put my record to naught, all I glory in it, but none of these young men will be able to make John Muphy take a back sent. Jerphips you want to know just a little something about me and that is all will be able to tell you this week. I write you from Chicago, and I am rightback here to write you again from the same place, and let you know that I am well and doing well and hope these few lines come to hand they may find you the same. But I have let been here all the time since I wrote that other letter. After Christmas, I got my little feet in the rid, and went to Indianapolis, where I spent a few hours meeting Mrs. Robert Harper. Her husband is the leading veterinarian in that part of the world. I found pleasure in talking to Mrs. Harper, who was well posed on so many of life and what she has just passed through Christmas. She has had many presents. But to her it was a and Christmas because her mother had missed away. At her home, I met Miss Sayde Mays, one of the teachers in the public school system. Miss Mays is considered one of the best teachers, and then she is interested in her race. One of the play houses in the city had been sending out notices to the teachers and when one of us put in our faces would refuse us a ticker. Miss Mays had been denied several times so when she got a notice recently, she sat down and wrote on paper to the manager of that play house, and him how he was viding the postal law, and he wrote to her asking her to call and assured her that she could get seats. She wont get them and in the future the play house will be open to our people. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Louise Lewis, who is the sister of Charles Stewart. Was telfighted to have spent a little time with her and her husband, then to Louisville, Ky., Cincinnati, Ohio; where I was Joseph L. Jones, chairman of the executive committee of the Negro Press Association, then for Petersburg, Va., over the Norfolk and Western. This was a nice trip, although we were late. That man in charge of the carriage would not recognize my ticket because it did not have the word "colored" on it. I paid the fare and code on just the same. Well it was all night and all day, and up into the next night before I was told that it was Petersburg. I went to the home of rev. S. A. Brown, then to Rev. S. T. Eldridge, of the First Baptist Church. From there I went down to Camp Lee January 15 to be with the boys who celebrated emancipation celebration. Dr. J. M. Gandy, president of the State School, delivered the address, and it was a fine one, and then Charles Stewart spoke also, but his main address was at another place at night. From Camp Lee. I returned and left there for Washington, reaching the late午 in the afternoon, and was informed by Dr. B. F. Watson that I was to stop with Bishop I. N. Ross, 616 15thstreet, N. W., and I was delighted with the thought that I was going to be with a Bishop, and walked my own feet getting to his house. You know Bishop Ross and his wife, I need not tell you much about this week. Then after getting do to supper I went out calling and called on that well trained, and edited young man of Howard University of Carl J. Murphy, who is somewhat that much love me. I certainly enjoyed meeting him his love, with his wife and daughter. They are a happy three. I talked with Rev. Engin and Rev. C. A. Buchanan till after 12 o'clock and then left for the home of Bishop Ross. I had a day and did not need to wake him up. The nth day I was on for Baltimore going to an office of the Afro-American, when talked with Editor Murphy, and und Rev. Weaver putting brains on perp, and durp at his same old bob. He is one busy man, then I went and looked at a young lady sittingwn to one of them printing machine just like she was playing a piano. She was setting up the paper. Dan Murphy was is charge of this department, and John Murphy, of the public school was there, and Prof. George Murphy, and his son, and then down stairs where I found the business one of the firm, Arnett Murphy, busy as a little cricket. Mrs. L. S. Henry, Miss Bourne, and another lady, who all business people. In the office, Mr. Murphy, the Commonwealth, talked with Dp. A. L. Gaines, who is one more busy man. I got in touch with Dr. W. Sampon Brooks, the Baltimore wonder, who invited me to come to his home and meet some of his friends and take a little snack with them. I got there and found him as busy as could be, and soon his guests arrived. There was Mrs. Mary Handy, one of the busiest women in Baltimore. This is one woman who believes in serving her people. She is in charge of the A. M. E. Home for the Aged, and she is putting her whole life into it. It was a pleasure to meet her. Next found me in company with the others, Bishop and Mrs. Hurst, and Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Edward Waters College. They had been invited to do some eating. Mrs. Brooks put the big pot in the little one, and I tell you I paid my respects to that table. I am going to have a few things to say to you about Bishop Hurst and his wife later. I expect to go down and see him on his work and devote a whole letter to him. This you will enjoy. After the dinner, I went by Bethel Church, Dr. Brooks, going first to Payne, where Dr. Chas. H. Murray was carrying on his revival. Spending a few hours there, I went to the stable got in a bed car, and went to sleep waking up the next morning in Philadelphia, about five hours late. Well I spent only about two hours in Philadelphia, returned to Washington, then on to Chicago. I shall have more to say next week.

What will the President do? A regular correspondent of the Washington Star propounds this query: "Why should a job-lot woman stand ostentatiously beside an empty seat to parade her refusal to sit next to a colored passenger who is dressed better and looks far more refined?" To answer this well intentioned question, would say, "Really we do not know." Do you? Standing on the railroad siding near the Maryland and District Line were two coal cars of soft coal. Not far away families of the neighborhood shivered in the grasp of the cold wave. Then came concerted action, white and black boys working together. After two days the cars still stood on the siding, but the coal had taken flight____in smoke, up the neighborhood chimneys. The total number of colored men registered so far by the draft is 737,628, or 8 per cent of the total number registered. Of this number 208,953 have been called for examination, and of the number called, 75,697 were certified for service. These figures show that 36 per cent of the colored men called were certified for service, against 25 per cent of the white men. TWO MILLERS horse before the cart is not a mess this from Professor Kelly's agreement to the colored people or like charity should begin at heil there. Let us fight to the fin after make an international tr Placing the horse before the cart is not always an easy thing to do, witness this from Professor Kelly Miller in a New Year's pronouncement to the colored people of the country: "Democracy like charity should begin at home, or at least it should prevail there. Let us fight to the finish that no nation shall hereafter make an international treaty a scrap of paper. It must follow then, as a corollary, that no nation shall allow its own constitution, which is an intra-national treaty to be made a scrap of paper." Clearly Professor Miller has his cart before his horse. There is another Miller tho, the Rev. George Frazier Miller, pastor of St. Augustine's Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., who in speaking before the Seventh Annual Conference of the N. A. B. C. P., struck a bolder note. Said the Rev. Mr. Miller: "It matters not what the state of the Country is, war or otherwise; when wrongs are committed against our men, our women and our children, we must continue earnestly to keep up our fight against them." And again: "We need to look duty squarely in the face and throw consequences to the winds." Feeling his loyalty to Uncle Sam as a true American, the colored man cannot keep his self respect and recommend this Democracy we have to any other nation. After we get "over here" right with democracy, we can take a deeper interest in "over there." WASHINGTON TEACHERS DISLOYAL? For alleged remarks in praise of the German people, a lady teacher of the Dunbar High School in Washington has been warned by the Secret Service, that the drastic action of the New York School Board might be repeated in Washington. This news should hardly call forth any comment except that the day after the execution of the 13 colored troopers for the uprising at Houston, a number of colored teachers in the higher schools of Washington appeared for work with mourning bands on their arms. The School Board expressed its dissatisfaction, it was said, and the wearing of the mourning armbands was discontinued. In view of the fact that President Wilson in his last proclamation praised the efficiency of the German, and, too, since President Wilson has shown his disapproval of the Houston hangings by announcing that all further executions be reviewed by him before being put into execution, it is not clear where the dis-loyalty in these two acts above mentioned lies. Perhaps both would have passed by unnoticed, had it not been that the Secret Service has appointed Major Loving, retired, former leader of the Phillipine Constabulary Band, as an assistant, with the special duty of running down the disloyal among colored folk in the District of Columbia. Evidently the retired Major has found it necessary to have something to report in order to keep his position and his pay. MOORFIELD STOREY'S UNFORTUNATE STATEMENT At the Seventh Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Moorfield Storey, National President of the Association had the following to say: "There are some who that white and black should serve indiscriminately in the some companies, but I never shared that view." In support of this statement, Mr. Storey remarks that the man who is fighting wishes to be sure that the men at his side and behind him are his true comrades, who sympathize with him and believe in him without reserve. Thus we have Scotch regiments, Irish regiments, Yorkshire, Pennsylvania and Alabama regiments, put together, because they speak the same language, and think the same thots. "For the same reason we should have colored regiments and white regiments." Another reason for the view that the races should be separate, Mr. Storey said, lies in the fact that representatives of the race should be able to win glory for their race in this war, and not have their victories ascribed to white men. "We all know, that if a black man does wrong, the fault is laid to the individual." Only a few weeks ago, the Afro-American and other race journals paid high tribute to Mr. Moorfield Storey, whose masterful argument before the Supreme Court of the United States, was a factor in procuring the decision against city segregation. It was felt at the time that the tribute could be made all the more sincerely, because Mr. Storey gave his high service without remuneration. It is therefore with a very great sense of appreciation of the work Mr. Storey has done and is doing for the uplift of the Negro, that the Afro-American asks this plain question. "If city segregation is wrong, how can government segregation be right?" It is hard to believe that there is any great difference between colored and white troops from the same state as does exist between Irish and English, of Irish and Scotch. It is hard to believe that white and black soldiers speak a different language and speak different thots. Maybe Mr. Storey does not know it, but the First Separate Company of Maryland that was, has only a number now, and the same is true of the 8th Illinois. These troops, augmented by others from various sections now form the 92 Division: The government wants national not state troops to fight this war. Another difficult thing for the Afro-American to see is, why the Negro should go into this war with the idea of winning glory for the race. Colored people as a race have no quarrel with the German people. Colored people as Americans, who have the same duties and obligations to perform as other citizens. Would Mr. Storey for the same reason urge the separation of the Jews, or the slavs. Following his line of argument the Jews ought to be apprehensive, lest the white man claim some of the credit for bravery in this war, which actually belongs to the Jew. Identity of rights is the only guarantee of equality of rights. As an able lawyer Mr. Storey ought to know that we cannot sanction jim crow anywhere and feel perfectly safe about it. If the jim crow army is alright, why not the jim crow car separate residential district and any other form of separation? Who can say then where we shall draw the line? The Negro would like to be an American first and a Negro-American afterwards, but it is due to such unfortunate philosophers as Mr. Moorfield Storey that he is compelled to be a Negro first and an American afterwards. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM WHO IS "ANON"? It is not usually the custom of this paper to publish anonymous articles, but we are waiving the rule in this instance. Just why, we do not know, unless it is to show that the foolbiller has evidently not been on his job. The writer, whoever he is purges himself in a four page article, closely writes—finding fault in a labored, faceless veil) with everything in general, and the Afro-American in particular. Just what his occupation is, we are not in a position to say; we are sure, however, he is not in the newspaper business. But why waste precious space and time? Here is a part of the article—the entire thing is too long and excruciating funny (?) to be published here: "You ostensibly are running a newspaper for Negroes (taking exception to Afro-Americans). You one and I'd like to see a little more pop and a great deal less run. "Did you ever sit down and think Committee and this National Committee seriously over this National Defense Committee and this National Committee on Public Information and National something else that are to mould Public Opinion to hate the "Huns" and glorify U. S. A. soldiers and heroes but no word of the jim crow annex the "nigger soldier." Do you see pictures of the submerged "nigger soldier" in the papers or even mention of them except possibly some funny (?) "darky" tally usually accredited to the cracker's typical Negro? How many people know that the Negro was not allowed to volunteer and were then conscripted; and that the conscription of the Negro was "special" and that they can virtually belong but to one branch of the service? Who ever heard of a Negro gunner in the Navy or even a real boatswain or petty officer? Who tells of the unwillingness of the conscripted who are conscripted for a war in which they are only fighting for the privilege of being lynched? Why are they "nigger soldiers" and not U. S. A. soldiers when referred to in the papers? "Get a copy of Everybody's for December, look on pages 12-13 and see the kind of odious, subtle, underhanded propaganda the present administration at Washington are actually paying out goodly tax money to have writen and published; out of the slush fund applied to "Moulding Public Opinion" are you afraid your patriotism, (whatever that is in a Negro) will be attacked? Why don't you say something? Speak up. Gosh! man. If I were in your place I'd fill your old sheet up full to the brim with refutation to articles like the above mentioned and similar just for the fun of the thing. And mind you! You will be just as much more advertisement matter and certainly a bigger circulation from the Defense? Council and the National Soldiers' Comfort Committee and all the rest of that stripe. Go to it. Do something and I will buy your sheet at 5 per buy and a whole lot of others will do the same, and may be eventually you would have a real paper. "Just another word and you can rest your eyes for I know I'm a poor writer and worse speller.—There are so many begging organizations launched and floating nowadays that I think the street car company ought to issue non-transferable tickets and a man leave his check book home so as to escape bankruptcy court. The Red Cross (you know they have also got a "Nogro annex" Red cross too!!! and they say St. Peter is now arranging for a rear entrance at the pearly Gates to be used by tradesmen, Negroes and dogs" only.

First I got the Red Cross (jin crow) then a man approached me for some church, then a fine looking girl asked me to contribute to the M. T. Stocking affair (she almost got something) and then and here's the pity of this beggar thing, a little girl about 6 or 7 years shaped up at me a request for "a penny for the poor children." By her dress, air, and appeal you would know that the "poor children" was represented by her love for "all day suckers" at the nearest candy store, and lastly as I was going by a colored school near Biddle street another little girl had the nerve to frankly ask me "Mister please give me a penny?" Either the writer looks too prosperous or there is something the matter with Baltimore colored people's morals. All beggars should be licensed whether beggar for a tumble down church that has no reason for existing if it can't support itself within its own membership or any quasi public institution, national or otherwise. THANKS VERY MUCH M. AUCH M. WUCH D. C. WASHINGTON D. C. DEAR MURPHY: *Murphy*: When you told me a couple years ago that you jumbed to put in a linotype machine, I said to myself "I believe he would do it too, if he had long enough to live." When, a year ago, you stood by the old press and folder and said to me that they were too slow for you and that if they didn't mind you would snatch that out and put in a "real" press. I had learned to know that your plans were not the runnings of an old man but the virile plans of a business man seventy years young. I was not at all surprised therefore to learn that the Afro-American has secured again. I am coming over just to let my eyes feed on such a midline in the establishment of a colored paper. So in this Christmas celebration I want to congratulate you on one more sign of "peep" and progress which is a benefit to the community and the race, and an imposition on the youth. I want to commend too, your "Houston" editorial. It was ransomably, strong and given forth in humiliating terms. With continued regard and best wishes for many years more of that kind of service, I am Sincerely yours, D. O. W. HOLMES LATE LITERARY NEWS LATE LITERARY NEWS A book of 32 pages of poems, entitled Fifty Years and other poems by James Weldon Johnson, author of "The Autobiography of an Ex Colored Man" etc, with an introduction by Brander Matthews, of Columbia University, has been recently published. The small volume is made up of two parts. First of a group of Lyrics of which "Fifty Years" is the largest, but in all of which Mr. Johnson shows himself, a master of English able to express his sentiments in a forceful manner and to express his aspirations and these of his people in lofter straining his words. The book is made up of "Jungles and Crooks" a collection of dialect verses of racial unity. The book is the result of a thoughtful painstaking workman and will deserves a place on this shelf with other books of our best colored authors. WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS Smallness of Sunday School Member- ship And Attendance It is stated upon good authority that only about one half of the professed Christians attend church services. That the average congregation in the average church is not as large as the church membership. How true this is, we are not prepared to say from personal knowledge or observation, but from what we gather from the study of church statistics and know from our observation, we suspect that the statement is nearly correct. This we do know for a certainty, that our Sunday School membership and attendance are far below what they ought to be, when compared with church membership. Why this is so, we think is due, chiefly, to two or three reasons. First to a mistaken notion on the part of the church membership—of what the Sunday School really is—and its true mission, and sphere. Too many are obsessed with the notion that the Sunday School—is the nursery of the church only, the place for only the young plants in Zion—and their too few care takers; rather than that is the church of God itself, including as such—parents and offspring—adults and children, assembled on the Lord's Day for the teaching and study of His word—the clemently teaching service—the practical training school of the Sunday School obtained more generally among church members there would be a creator adult membership belonging to and a larger responsibility on our Sunday Schools. The second reason why the Sunday School membership and attendance are not as large as it should be, as compared with church membership, is due to what is to us a lamentable fact, namely, that the idea of duty on the part of children, to obey and follow the direction of their parents is not so strictly enforced or observed as formerly. Children seem to rule and direct, rather than the parents. Children are not commanded and compelled to go to Sunday School now, but they are rather hired, coaxed cajoled in going, or left to act according to their own inclination, or pleasure. The discipline in our homes, should be more strict than what it now is—and the heads of families should realize more fully their responsibilities to God for the proper religious instruction of their children. Again too many young children are permitted, by their parents, to attend the Sunday moving picture shows, and to remain away from the Sunday School. And in many cases they are accompanied to these shows by their professed Christian parents. There is not much hope for any marked change for the better, in this particular weakness, so apparent in our church and Sunday School life, until there is on the part of all professed Christian a more strict observance of the Lord's Day, as a day of rest, and a day for religious worship and instruction. And furthermore a getting back to what was formerly the custom in the homes of Christians in the regulation of the children's going and doing on that holy day. CHARITY GRAFT We are glad to learn, there is now going on a probe of what is denominated "the charity graft"—the solicitation and the securing of money, from those who are disposed to contribute even at a sacrifice, to the various charity enterprises, calling for the support of the public. It appears that some of these solicitors for donations are only self authorized and self appointed, and fail to make proper disposition of, or direction to the gifts they receive. It has been well said that "this is about the meanest specimen" of grafting, because it involves "the double wrong of stealing from the poor and swindling the charitably inclined." This class of grafters is at work in almost every community, and there is no little difficulty in ferreting them out and bringing to them the punishment they so well deserve. Mary who are swindled by them, fail to make it known, for one reason, or another, and so this class of thieves, in most cases, go on in their nefarious business of hunting and finding new victims from whom they fileh money given for worthy causes and needy and deserving poor. At these times when there are so many calls being made upon the generous public for aid and support of the scores of worthy causes—and thousands of needy and deserving poor, it behooves all who are inclined to help, whether with small or large gifts, before doing so, to satisfy themselves—that the object is a worthy one—the people for whom relief and help is sought, are needy and deserving—and that the solicitors for such help, are properly authorized to secure it, and that the funds gathered by them have proper direction. We fear that our own community is somewhat infested with this class of graffers, and that many of our people have been and are willing victims. And furthermore, we are convinced that there is at work among our people, another class of men and women, who are seeking to interest and secure the support, of enterprises, of which this particular class are the promoters, not from any special interest it has in the public well being—out for the desire of being kept in the lime light, and for wholly selfish ends. These, too, ought to be discovered and exposed, and a generous and responsive public relieved of their presence and plundering. --- COLORED SANATORIUM NEEDED Under the above caption there appeared in one of our leading daily papers, of recent date an interesting article, in which it was stated that Dr. Victor F. Cullen, superintendent of State Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Sabillasville, aided by U. S. Senator John Walter Smith and U. S. District Attorney S. K. Dennes was leading in an effort to secure from the present Legislature large appropriations for the wiping out of tuberculosis. To this end, Dr. Cullen and those aiding him are advocating 1st, a sanatorium for colored patients, and 2nd, an increase in present hospital accommodations. It is said that none of the regularly established hospitals in the state will, with their present accommodations for the care of such patients receive consumptives for treatment, and this objection it is argued may be overcome by the erection of annexes to the hospitals, constructed and maintained by the state. In this way it is urged that much money can be saved in original outlay, and overhead expenses involved in heating, lighting and water supplies, etc. It seems to us that the plan of Dr. Cullen is both wise and fair. For if it is difficult or impossible to secure treatment and care of tubercular patients in our hospitals with their present accommodations, then such provisions as suggested by Dr. Cullen should be made. It will not be questioned that if our hospitals in the city and throughout the state are not prepared to treat and care for such patients of the white population, that it will be far more difficult if not altogether impossible to secure in them such treatment and care for colored patients. And since it is a foregone conclusion that if annexes are constructed and maintained by the State for tuberculosis patients—that there would be at best, only colored wards provided in such annexes—then in that case it would be far better that there should be established a colored sanatorium the need for which is admitted by all. Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs, D. C. Hampson Jones and H. Wist Steele are said to be "behind a movement to eradicate the white plague menace." Every movement that promises the lessening of this menace, and which has behind it men and women of character, worth and ability deserves the encouragement and support of every lover of mankind. CONVICTIONS ANNULLED It is reported that the War Department at Washington has annulled Court Martial proceedings against ten enlisted men of Battalion A, Eighteenth Field Artillery Regular Army, convicted on charges of mutilous conduct. These convicted men "have been restored to duty on the opinion of the reviewing authority that the proceedings were due entirely to the capricious conduct of an 'experienced officer.' It was certainly fortunate for these ten men convicted of mutilous conduct, that the proceedings of the court which tried and convicted them were reviewed by the War Department. For in the light of the recent happenings to convicted men of the 24th Infantry Regular Army, for rious and mutilous conduct, no one can say, with any deficiencies or certainty, what might have been the sentence and punishment imposed out to them without such a review. It is not claimed that the proceedings against the troopers of the 24th Infantry Regular Army, whose sentence was carried out December 11, 1917, "were due entirely to the capricious conduct of an inexperienced officer," but it is claimed that "the lax discipline at Camp Logan, which permitted, promiscuous visiting at the camp made drinking and immorality possible among the" soldiers," and shows that the soldiers were in command of officer or officers who did not act in a manner that spoke well for their fitness to be in authority and control of any body of men, and who lacked some of the very necessary elements for leadership and command. And it is the settled opinion of many that the drastic punishment --- given the mutinous troopers of the 24th Infantry Regular. Army would have, at least, been delayed, if not lightened, if there had been any review of the court's proceedings and findings by the War Department. Five other troopers of the 24th Infantry Regular Army have been convicted and sentenced to death for participation in the Houston miot last August, and for mutinous conduct. The rule recently made by our President Woodrow Wilson, that the execution of death penalties will not be permitted before review by the War Department, will doubtless prevent the shameless haste which was so evident in the execution of the thirteen troopers of the 24th Infantry hanged December 11, 1917, in the case of the five now under sentence of death, and it may be that in the review of the proceedings in their case, there may be discovered some misleading circumstances that may justify some show of leniency or clemency. MASONS GO TO EBENEZER A. M. E. CHURCH The Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons—Subordinate Lodges, and member of the Adoptive Rite will worship next Sunday evening—1.30 o'clock at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, Montgomery street between Hanover and Charles streets. The preparations are being made for the presence of a large representation of the Craftsmen. The service gives promise of being highly interesting and instructive. The order of Free Masonry is not only the most ancient, but the leading and most influential of all fraternal organizations. Its principles and tenets are the highest and noblest, and it practiced and carried out in the lives of its members, cannot but serve to make them truer and better in all their relations in which they stand to their homes, to society, to country, and to God. The Evangellistic Campaign at Bethel A. M. E. Church' The evangelistic campaign under the auspices of the Druid Jill Avenue Branch of the Y. M. C. A and Bethel A. M. E. Church, and now being conducted at Bethel Church, was auspiciously launched last Sunday by Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, who preached, morning and night, to large audiences, ominently practical and soul-stirring sermons. Our city's fortune to have this campaign conducted at this time, and in having the meetings in charge of such capable men as Dr. Clayton Powell, of Jew York and our own Dr. Brooks. Let the Christian people of our city do their part in making the campaign a success, and there will come from it a great blessing to this community. A LAUGH OR TWO Pride may go Bedeore a fall.

A DAINTY PIECE OF EDGING ```markdown ``` EGGLESS, BUTTERLESS AND MILKLESS CAKES In these days when everybody is working, no one is giving a thot to renumeration, when it means comfort for our boys. Precious few of us want to do anything slipshod do we? We want to do our very best and we want every little bit to count for the boys "over there" and also for the boys in the cantonments. Few of us realize our short-comings. We think we are prepared for anything, but are we? We hear so much talk of prepness these days. The men of the household, our fathers, brothers and husbands come home to us each evening, a little more troubled, a little more puzzled by the trend of affairs. We want to help them, and we are eager to do our bk. take time to think, don't rush head-long into things because we are asked, without counting the cost. Don't leave all the house work and the cooking and nursing of the children to mary. When you were asked to buy a Liberty Bond, join the Red Cross, contribute to the Armenian fund, and to the Y. M. C. A. and to the Red Cross Center and A DAINTY PIE EGGLESS, BUTTERLESS Now that eggs are 60 cents a dozen, butter 55 cents a pound and milk 14 cents a quart, I know that many of you have stopped baking cakes as you think it is expensive. If you will try the following recipe, I am sure you will be pleased. You can add to it as much fruit as you please, but it must all be cooked according to the directions given. If this cake is allowed to stand a few days before cutting it will be much better. Keep in a stone jar or van cake box. Do not keep in a box or it will dry out. A wineglassful of brandy improves the flavor. One pound of raisins. One pound of currants stewed 15 minutes in two cups of cold water, then add one cup of cold water. One half cup lard. 2 cups sugar, one teaspoonful each of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice and salt. One tablespoonful of soda scent. Four cups flour. Bake in a moderate oven one hour. If more fruit is added it should be stored in the fridge and currants. Count the fifteen minutes from the time it starts to cook. HOUSEHOLD HINTS If boiled iceing will not harden it is because the sugar and water are not cooked long enough. An aluminum strainer that stands on its own feet in the sink is a handy thing to have for washing lettuce, spinach, etc. To remove brown stains from earthenware dishes, caused by putting them in the oven, soak in strong borax and hot water. When making a milk pudding, try using less sugar than usual, but add just a pinch of ground ginger. You will be delighted to find what a delicious flavor it gives to the pudding. MRS. FERNANDIS SPEAKS That there is a large field for neighborhood work in the city of Baltimore, especially in Northwestern section, was asserted by Mrs. Sarah Collins Fernandis in an address before the members of the Eva Jonifer Neighborhood Club at its monthly meeting on Tuesday.

HELPING A LITTLE UNCLE SAM'S FIRST FUEL CONSERVATION SIGN SAVE COAL 68 OrcleSam NEEDS it knit for the soldiers, did you do it all or try to do all those things and end up in having a nervous breakdown and upsetting the whole household, better to do only what you were really able to do well and not to do it all at once? One little woman said to me, I can't take part in all the things I would like to take a part in them, I look after the next best thing, I look after my home and children, and have the home cherry and cocoa when Daddy and the cherry come home, I used to run, monthly account at different stores and I decided to do my bit, by cutting down expenses and I started in by closing up all my charge accounts, "I can only say," she said, "that I'm more than repaid by the feeling of relief that has already come to me. I wish everybody would try the experiment as I have. I have nothing to dread at the first of each month. You buy so many unnecessary things when you run a charge account, things you can really do without. In two month's time I have saved enough out of my allowance to give my bit to the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. also, to the Armenian Relief Fund. I still have a small sum left and we have all had plenty. I know how my money is spent and am beginning to see results. CE OF EDGING AND MILKLESS CAKES APPLE SAUCE CAKE 1 cup apple sauce. 2 tablespoonsful lard—not melted. One cup sugar. One slightly rounded tablespoonful baking soda. One tablespoonful water. One teaspoonful cinnamon and one-eighth teaspoonful nutmeg. Two cups flour. Cream the sugar and lard together then add the apple sauce, to whichever you have added the baking soda dissolved in water. Mix well and add the sifted flour, cinnamon and nutmeg then mix. Line two nine inch pum or pie plates with paper, put in mixture and bake twenty minutes in a moderate oven—Marion Harland in the N. A.

Begin now to pay for what you get when you get it and when the Red Cross, W. Y. C. A. or Y. M. C. A. comes to you for a little help you will find you have enough saved to really give your share and at the same time keep well within your means. Let us help our men folks as much as we can, and, as some one has said "Let us go to our rest with a clean conscience and a clear state, so that in spite of war, existence becomes even less a difficult matter than it is at present—at least we will have only today and its needs to think of and yesterday's problems will not be here to confront us."

WORTH KNOWING If you wear rubber heels, cut the corners off with a sharp knife, and there will be no danger, of you ever matching your heel in your skirt and ripping. At the bottom of bloomers and compers make a hem one inch deep and work a buttonhole on the inside of the hem. Then on one end of the elastic place a hook, on the other an eye. This can be quietly run in with the aid of a hair pin and hooked; these will last for a long time as it is the washing that destroys the rubber in the elastic. One tablespoon of yinagar added to and when frying prevents the ingredients from absorbing too much fat. Before using a new umbrella, put a toilet vase into the hinge portion of the frame. Vaseline will not run like it, and is a sure preventive against stains. Always stand wet umbrellas on their handles to dry. The moisture can drains off, leaving the ribs and skins, where rust so often congregates, perfectly dry.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so 'many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of a expert chemist and an underwriter in the United States experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap hathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scap unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstreet or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.-Advt. THE WHILE SWAN HAIR- Mince. GFORGE H.

AREY THEATRE of cool and cold, wave could, keep from seeing Pearl White nishing touches to Clarks- the Arabian Priesters on the Carey Theatre and time the theatre opened at night a long line of shin- ing humanly made art did and was painted vertically until those on the inside of the playhouse had seen Pearl and her lover put the finishing touches on every last one of the nasty tribe. As usual, love triumphed in the end and the 3000 persons who saw the last episode of "The Fatal Ring" wended their way home, congratulating the dancer once upon her daring and persistence. A crowd equally as large saw the last episode of "The Seven Pearls" Wednesday night. Good, long programs at the Carey have brought to this popular playhouse crowded houses at almost every performance. Fairly good vaudeville and real good pictures are drawing good houses at The Regent nightly. If as much care were taken in the selection of the vaudeville numbers as is evidently taken in the pictures the theatre would not be able to hold the crowds. As a large number of very young people are pictures of the Regent care should be taken that the vaudeville acts be such as would not prejudice parents against allowing their children to attend. THE DUNBAR The only moving picture house in the city owned and operated by colored people is attracting large crowds that day. It is careful to select the best pictures obtainable and he is being rewarded with enthusiastic audiences. The funeral of Mrs. Sidney Dorsely, of 736 Waesche street, was held from Metropolitan M. E. Church last Monday afternoon, services conducted by the pastor, Rev. R. W. S. Thomas. Mrs. Dorsey was stricken suddenly last Friday morning while watching by the bedside of her daughter Nannie, who has been ill for more than two months, and was found dead by her daughter, Beatrice, who answered the call of her sick sister. Mrs. Dorsey was well-known throughout the city, and belonged to several secret orders, and was prominent in church work. She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Jenkins, two sons, McCauley and Robert, and four daughters, Nannie, Beatrice, Dora and Sedonia. DORSEY - Departed this life, on January 4th, 1918, Sidney Dorsey, beloved mother of J. Macaulay and Robert, Dora Johnson, Sidonia Woodland, Beatrice Blake and wife of the late Andrew Dorsey. She also leaves a mother, Mrs. Nancy Watkins and two sisters, Mrs. Winnie Jefferson and Mary Johnson, of Oakland, California. He was the former Metropolitan Church Monday, January 8th. We wish to extend many thanks to her friends for their beautiful floral designs. RIDGEWAY—In sad but loving remembrance of Margaret E., our daughter and sister who departed this life one year ago today, January 13, 1917. Sleep on my girl How very hard to realize The truth when trials comes; When one is taken who for years Was with us in our home. God is disposer of events, And we should not complain For, Oh! how precious is the thought Some day we'll meet again. Where sickness, sorrow, pain or death Shall never more be known; And through eternity will be With Jesus near the throne. How precious is that thought to me While she is under ground; I am all this world no sweeter thought Can anyone know her found. How sweet that memory can recall The loving words and acts; Of one who is no longer here Well-known to us a fact. I know I never shall forget, Y cannot even try; She said, "good bye, good bye." But I will try my best to say, It was my father's will; he would have home to Him. Where she will rest until The Resurrection Day has come, she shall all arise; And all the faithful tuten To that home beyond the skies. By her parents.
