SCOTT URGES UNITY OF ACTION Chairman Lyon Makes Report of Work of Defense Council. Miss Ida R. Cummings and J. H. Murphy, Among the Speakers. He urged the purchasing of thrift stamps and declared that the habit of saving would not only be encouraged thereby, but that the country could secure needed funds for the prosecution of the war. He was given an ovation. Dr. Lyon told of the many activities of the council and of the work it has been doing along various lines, ports from the county delegates gave a memoir of the wide work of the council. BIG CROWD AT ALBAUGH'S The evening meeting was held at Albaugh's Theatre and the crowd filled the auditorium to overflowing. The principal addresses were delivered by Governor Emerson C. Harrington and Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. The Governor was enthusiastically received and his mention of the present stand of colored men in the present war was loudly applauded. His pation of the fact that he was governor of the whole province of Maryland and not any question, although some didn't think so, brought forth a hearty laugh from the audience, many no doubt, thinking he referred to the differences between the city and state politicians. He declared that several bills of importance would come up in the present session of the legislature and he intended to do his duty. He also made the assurance that the salaries of the county school teachers would be increased. The Governor declared that the time had come when members of the race should take up and discuss public questions without reference to their political complexion, saying, however, that Negroes were not to be blamed for the political stand they had taken in the past. Mr. Scott said all sectional feelings must be sunk and that neither classes, masses, races nor creeds, nor the color Maryland's Best. The Afro-American is the oldest, largest and newsiest weekly Newspaper in Maryland. The great part that the Negro is playing in this country during the present war crisis, his need of getting squarely behind every movement started to win the war and the necessity for including the race in any program looking toward a realization of world-wide democracy, were emphasized at the three big mass-meetings held under the auspices of the colored section of the Maryland Council of National Defense Wednesday. The morning and afternoon sessions were held at Sharp Street Memorial, M. E. Church and the night meeting at Allaugh's Theatre. The speakers included Governor Harrington, Former Governor Goldshorough, Hon. Emett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War; Dr. Ernest Lyon, chairman of the section; John H. Murphy, who delivered the address of welcome to the delegates from the counties; Dr. John H. Latune, of Johns Hopkins University; Miss Ide R. Cummings, chairman of the Woman's Auxiliary; Mrs. Minnie L. Galces and Public Service Commissioner Towers. Following the singing of a patriotic song, led by Rev. Ernest Williams, Rev. W. W. Allen offered the prayer opening the morning session at Sharp St. Memorial M. E. Church. The address of welcome, delivered by John H. Murphy, publisher of the Afro- EMMET J. SCOTT EMMET J. SCOTT American, breathed an optimistic vein and predicted that the spread of real democratic ideals in this country and abroad after the war. After stating that all of the nations engaged in the war had been sinners in the cause of human rights, he said, that the triumph of democracy abroad must mean the triumph of real democracy at home and the eradication of invidious class distinctions, Mr. Murphy continued: FIGHTING FOR MANKIND "I welcome you not to a feast of good things, but to take your stand and do your whole part in this great world work for the betterment of the human race wherever found. I welcome you here for I believe you are ready to make sacrifices, to give your time, your money, yea, your very best and strongest blood not for Maryland, not for the United States, but a broader vision than State or country—the great world of mankind." Governor Goldsborough was introduced by Dr. Lyon as a defender of the colored people. He said he felt grateful to the colored people for support given him in his senatorial fight, he felt no bitterness toward anyone and was willing to fight at any time for legislation affecting the welfare of the people. Reciting the aims of this country in fighting for world democracy, he told of German atrocities and declared that there should be no half Americanism and half alienism. The German people are behind the Kaiser, he said, and the American people must get squarely behind Woodrow Wilson. He pictured his boy who is now on the ocean bound for the trenches in Europe, and declared that all classes of Americans must see to it that the boys "over there" get every support. DR. ERIEST LYON THE AFRO-AMERICAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1918 of a man's skin are to be counted at a time like this. "We are engaged in a great struggle," he said, "testing whether this nation dedicated to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, shall perish from the earth. If we would accomplish our purpose, national unity must prevail. Sectionalism must be relegated to the rear; class feeling must be obliterated; a great surging common willingness to serve a common purpose must prevail. A common task demands a sinking of all, of everything, except patriotic zeal. If we are to conquer. Unity of feeling, community of interest, must dominate. If we are to put forth our fullest power, and achieve that victory for which we are struggling. "The Maryland Council of Defense, composed of white men and white women, colored men and colored women, has recognized the truth of these basic ideas. Its idealized purpose is to utilize to the extremest limit, if necessary, every resource of men, money and materials, counting no unit of the population of so little value as not to be taken into full account during these days of national peril. "We are indeed honored that Governor Harrington should leave the seat of State Government to come home toight to testify by his presence and to approve of the good work which has been done in being done by the Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense." Its resolutions were ordered by Dr. A. L. Gaines, sharply criticising the Kaiser and asserting that the colored people of Maryland are squared behind Governor Harrington in his defense plans. TO DISCUSS LABOR PROBLEMS New York, January 18.—The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes will hold a conference here on labor conditions January 29 to 31, inclusive. The recent attitude of the American Federation of Labor promising a more just deal to the Negro, as well as the large migration North and West, is the prompt reason for the conference. Among the speakers will be Prof. John Hope, president of Morchouse College, Attainer; Dr. James H. Dillard, of Kokomo; Dr. George Edward Haynes, Baugene Kinkele Jones, of 2303 Seventh avenue, will furnish all information regarding the conference. LIEUT. HELM A CHAPLAIN Newport News, Va., January 16.—Lient. Arrington S. Helm has been made chaplain of the 472nd Infantry, stationed here. He was educated in the public schools of Washington and Howard 'University, graduating from both the collegiate and divinity schools of the latter institution. He was for a time engaged in Y. M. C. A. work at Camp Meade. Lient. Helm was weddé last week to Miss Pauline H. Jackson, of Baltimore. SUB-COMMITTEE TO MEET Philadelphia, January 18.—The semiannual session of the Sub-committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows held its annual session here this week, with Grand Master Edward H. Morris presiding. Besides transacting a large amount of routine business, resolutions extolling the life and services of the late Julius C. Johnson, of Baltimore, the national deputy grand master, were adopted. Jesse L. Nicholls, of Baltimore, the district grand secretary for Maryland, was chosen to succeed Mr. Johnson on the Sub-committee. A STRANGE COINCIDENCE How Two Virginians, One Black and The Other White, Land Alabamu's In the Birmingham (Ala.) Age Herald, Dr. Frank Willis Barnett tells the following story of Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute and Dr. George Denney, president of the University of Alabama, both Virginians, who, as children, just after the Civil War, played together: Dr. Denney's father was a Presbyterian minister, and used to visit the family in which young Moton's father served, and that he, himself waited on the table. After dinner was over, he and "George" (they were boys then) used to go fishing together. In conclusion, Dr. Barnett says: "I know of no stranger thing in the history of education than that story of the white boy and the "pickaniany" who rommed the fields and fished the streams of old Virginia together just at the close of the war. The colored boy freed, but handicapped, started an uphill fight to learn how to read and write and made good and is today the president of the greatest Negro school in the world; while the white lad, though shackled by the awful days of reconstruction, yet made his way through college, and is now the head of the University of Alabama. Can you beat this story of two boys reared in Virginia; the one white, the other black, but fast friends, who, in the whirling of time, landed the best educational plums in Alabama. It is stranger than fiction, because truth is stranger than fiction. I, for one, take pride that we have them both in my home state."—Tuskegee Student. CAPTAIN SPENCER PASSES "EXAM" Commander of First Separate Company on Short Furlough Visits Family in City. MAY SOON BE MAJOR After Thirty-Six Years As Captain, Rumor Has Him Slated For Elevation Captain William vt. Spencer, senior captain of the United States Army was a visitor to the Afro-American office this week and gave a brief resume of his activities since leaving here with his First Separate Company last August. The captain, who is looking the picture of health, and who has just passed a severe physical examination ordered by the War Department, declared that he expected to be in France "before the roses bloomed again," and that he was eager to be in the trenches beside his boys. It might be said in passing that the Captain declares he has never had a day's illness in his life, outside a "trilling headache," and that for more than 45 years he has not touched a drop of medicine of any kind. Captain Spencer said his boys were treated royally in Pittsburgh during their stay there by white and black allie, but that their treatment since they had been in Anniston, Ala., had been far different. He averred, however, that Uman, Sain showed no distinction in the treatment of his men, as long as the heads of the War Department were kept in touch with conditions as they existed, and that any mistreatment of the colored boys by white officers, if brought to the attention of the proper authorities, allowed him to escape, impaled and consequent punishment. He cited an instance where a colonel in one of the Southern regiments was relieved of his command and placed on the retired list because it was reported that he had mistreated some colored soldiers under his charge. The docthy Captain said that the equipment of his men was now being changed, and that they were receiving clothing suited to the treasures in Europe, and that they scarcely retained a piece of their former articles of wear, taking this as a basis for his prediction that his men would soon be transferred to the other side. Since his visit here is has been rumored that Captain Spencer has been elevated to the rank of Major, and that First Lieutenant Henry Ryan, also of the First Separate Company has succeeded him as captain o the company. The Captain declared that he had encountered considerable difficulty in securing six day leave, but that thru the good graces of the commanding officer, and in appreciation of the regard in which he is held by his seniors, he was allowed to come home for a short time. During his stay at Anniston, Captain Spencer had the honor of being in command of an entire regiment of white and colored soldiers for a day, and he declared that most of the white officers under him, of the white race, were most respectful, and that he experienced little or no difficulty in having his slightest order obeyed. After renewing old acquaintances and bidding farewell to family and friends, the Captain will leave the latter part of the week to join his men at Newport News, Va. MRS, OVERTON GETS JOB IN DEPARTMENT Washington, January 16- Mrs. Carrie Burton Overton, of Wyoming, who as reported in the Afro-American, of a few weeks ago, was refused a position in the office of the Council of National Defense here, has been appointed to a position as stenographer in the Agricultural Department, paying $1000 a year. When she was refused a position in the Council of Defense, Mrs. Overton took up her case with the N. A. A. C. P., and inter with the Congressman from her home with the result that she received her present appointment. Dr. Joseph I. France, senator from Maryland, is also said to have been interested in Mrs. Overton's case. FLAG RAISED AT CAMP MEADE A large flag was unfurled over the headquarters of the 351st Artillery on Monday Morning. Sergeant H. Bell of the 351st Artillery assigned for the flag raising. "PULL" REINSTPTES HAZERS AT HOWARD Sons of Prominent Men Reinstated—Had Given Student Shower who Refused to Lathe Washington, Jan. 15—That a certain amount of "pull" of one kind or another is absolutely necessary to one's success in Life can well be attested by one Allen Carter, son of Man. Justin W. Carter, of Harvardburg, Pa. Young Carter, who is, or who was, and who is again, a student at Howard University, with several other members of the Freshman class decided that one of the members of their class, who had an aversion to the use of water as a deodorant, and cleanser, should learn of the good health, and humor that come with a longer acquaintance with this free and sparkling fluid, so one still night not long ago they perceptually gave the unsuspecting student (of a aforesaid water aversion) a healthy bucle under one of the University's shower baths. And thereby hung the story of "pull." Carter and his cohorts were forthwith suspended by the "powers" of the University for an indefinite period. A hurry call to Harrisburg brought the prominent parent before mentioned in the person of the Hon. Justin W. Carter, who entrusted the "Hon. Powers" of the University to readit his son, stating that the offense was of a minor nature and that the punishment was rather severe. But his prayers were all in vain. Then the Hon. Carter got busy. The Congressman from Pennsylvania was communicated with and urged to use his good offices to secure the restatement of young Carter. The congressman kindly consented to do his best, and the "powers" were interviewed. He did remembrance of the day when a point of order by one of the members of the House came near being the means of the loss of a $00,000 appropriation to the school, the "Powers" meekly, the reluctantly consented to have young Carter, and his cohorts, placed in their former standing at the University. COLOR BARS MRS. MARY C. TERRELL Clarence Gillot, Creole, Appointed on U. S. Interpreters Corps--No Room For Mrs. Terrell Washington, D. C., Jan. 16—Prof. Clarence Gillot, has been appointed a member of the U. S. Interpreters Corps, and is now awaiting a commission. Prof. Gillot was formerly instructor in French at Howard University, and recently resigned this position to take up his new duties. A singular incident in connection with Prof. Gillot's appointment is the fact that Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, who succeeded him as instructor in French at the University, was refused a special appointment in the corps because of her color. Prof. Gillot is of Creole birth. WIDOW OF SOLDIER AIDED Washington, Jan. 14.—On receipt of advice that Mrs. Gertrude Young, widow of Rifely Young, one of the 13 colored soldiers recently hung at Fort Sam, Houston, Texas, was ill and in need of funds for food and clothes, the National Colored Soldiers Comfort Committee immediately sent her a check to supply her immediate needs. PREJEDICE IN HARLEM New York, January 14. It is reported that colored people are barred from the lectures that are given at the Y. M. C. A. in W. 125th street and that mixed audiences are not allowed. This information came to light last week when the hall was refused to the Misses Minnie Brown and Daisy Tableley, two colored women, who are among the Board of Education's lecturers, upon the ground that mixed audiences are not allowed to the lectures. Most of the white Forums of Harlem are attended by mixed audiences and the announcement of this policy by the Y. M. C. A. comes as a great surprise. ASK PRESIDENT FOR CLEMENCY Washington, Jan. 14.—The A. M. E. ministers of this city have sent a petition to President Wilson asking clemency for the five other colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry recently sentenced to death for alleged participation in the Houston; Tex. mutiny. In their petition they say there are extenuating circumstances which merit executive clemacy. DR. L. Z. JOHNSON TO TEACH AT HOWARD Dr. L. Z. Johnson, pastor of Madison St. Presbyterian Church, has been appointed instructor in public speaking at Howard University, the college, and theological departments. Dr. Johnson, who is one of the most eloquent as well as fluent speakers of which he is a graduate of Francis J. Gregory, who resigned to enter Y. M. C. A. war work. The new duties of Dr. Johnson will not interfere with his work as pastor of the above named church. KANSAS FARMERS PROMISE COOPERATION KANSAS FARMERS PROMISE COOPERATION "Potato King" Grove Urges That the Farmers Give Special Attention to Growing of Potatoes Topola, Kan., Jan. 10.—The Sunflower State Agricultural Association, composed of the colored farmers of Kansas, held a meeting recently in Topola Industrial and Educational Institute and by unanimous vote declared support to the United States Food Administration, urging full cooperation of the Kansas farmers and other members of the race to the Government in its gigantic task of fighting for world-wide freedom. President William I. Carter of the Association told the farmers that it was their task to help win the war. "We are a part of this great country," said President Carter, "and it is up to us to respond to every call made by our President through any department of the Government. All the world insists that food must play an important and essential part." "Since it is food, then food we are going to have, and the farmers of Kansas intend to see that it is furnished. These young men are going into the fields," those who do not go into the trenches—and become producers as well as consumers. They produce more than they consume, for they realize that there are our sons and brothers in the trenches, and on the battlefields who must be fed." Poultry, farm and industrial displays attracted the attention of many who attended the conference. Women showed by demonstrations how they could help win the war, and how easy it is to observe the meatless and wheatless days and still remain happy. "Poultry raising must be given special attention this spring" declared J. G. Grove, the Negro Potato King, from Edwardsville, Kansas, "because poultry and eggs must to a considerable degree take the place of meat on meatless days. There is a great demand for poultry at present, and it will be still greater in the future." GOAL SITUATION CRITICAL The acute coal shortage has not only made the poor suffer, but the eth as well have had trouble getting a fast hold on the "black diamonds. Coal dealers have been arrogant, gravelly telling many that they must hail themselves. As a result expressmen have been doing quite some business. The city authorities have continued their efforts to relieve its estimation among the poor by selling soft coal at a number of stations and hundreds of colored people were among those who sought and obtained relief. The city sold the coal at 18 cents a bushel while coal dealers charged 40 cents for the same coal. At several of the schoolhouses, the children were dismissed at 3 o'clock Thursday and were informed that their parents could secure coal at the schools. Many swelled themselves of the opportunity. Owing to the emptyness of the coal bankers, Mr. Emmett J. Scott could not address the pupils of the Colored High School in the auditorium of the Pennsylvania Avenue Zion Church. Prof. Mason A. Hawkins tried to secure the auditorium of another church but was told that the coal supply was too short. School 115 at Waverly and other schools were closed on account of the lack of fuel. FIRE AT COMMONWEALTH White Dr. Ernest Lyon, the editor, Dr. A. L. Gaines, the business manager, were attending the meeting of the Defense Council at Albaugh's Theatre Wednesday, a small fire was discovered in the office of the Commonwealth, 421 Druid, Hill Avenue. The cause is unknown, and Dr. Gaines jokingly attributes it to German spies, incensed at the meeting of the Defense Council. TREATRES MAY HAVE TO CLOSE Owing to the stringent regulations being made by the National Fuel Administrator on account of the shortage of coal the theatres may be compelled to close their doors on Monday. The colored playhouses affected by the order are the Regent, Carey, New Lincoln, Star and Dunbar. The management o f thehese houses have announced that should they be compelled to close on Monday, the plays advertised for that day will be shown later in the week.

Popular Sicuth Shot While Trying to Round Up Notorious Gang of Thugs FRIEND OF CHILDREN Detective Had For Years Played Santa Claus to Philadelphia Poor Children Philadelphia, January 10—George Williams, the only colored detective in the city, was killed Wednesday of last week at the corner of 16th and Kalibridge streets while attempting to round up a gang of gunmen who were "shooting up" the neighborhood. He was shot through the heart and died ten minutes after reaching the Polylinic Hospital. Williams was one of the brave men on the force. He did not make what fear was and he never need his duty. In his career as a man he took many changes he called upon to take. He was shot a number of times and on one particular instance he had a narrow escape when a criminal fired three shots him at a distance of only a few feet. This was about fifteen years after Williams was walking along Pmount avenue, near Seventan street when a classmate opened at the corner. He ran forward corner and found that a character, Frank Thomas, lying on a map, Williams then and told itudes that he under arrest. He dudes stepped up, and fired three shots at Williams, him, however, was bad and soon the shots took effect. Williams timed his advance on Blades, was known as a "bad man", but worthy was too fleet of foot and on man Williams, who was handicapped with a heavy overweight. Williams was not to be a policeman in 1822 and a detective in 1902. In his career on the force he was among the first to be called on to the most important cases, especially when it was known that a colored man had a ward in the job. He had an intimate acquaintance with all the haunts of the criminal classes who held him in terror, and threats to "get him" were often heard. KIDS WILL MISS HIM Perhaps no one in Philadelphia will miss Detective. Williams more than the kids of South Philadelphia. He was known to every one of them and was their first friend. For years he had occupied his spare time gathering old clothing and toys, having the clothing wended and fading over the toys. On Christmas day, 1916, Mr. Williams played Santa Claus to over five hundred children at the Hotel Brotherhood Association, 1529, Baird bridge street. Not only were toys a warm clothing distributed, but candy cake and ice cream. Williams was also one of the pioneer members of the famous Cuban Giants and was one of the best colored baseball players of his time. The funeral of the great detective, lover of children and famous baseball player was held from Union A M.Y.E. Church Monday. Mounted police, high police officials, and a squad of patrolmen were in attendance. Virginians Have a Close Call But Finally Carry Off The Bacon. Hampton, Va., January 16.—The Hampton Institute Easketball, them defeated the quarter from Howard University in the Hampton gymnasium on January 12th. The game was very closely contested by both sides but the local quint proved too fast for the heavy visitors. Howard pocketed the first goal and seemed to play the Seasiders off their feet in the first 10 minutes. They succeeded in keeping in the lead and at the end of the first half the score stood 14 to 9 in Howard's favor. In the second half the high passes and long shots of the visitors were not as successful as in the first half. Soon the Seasiders had to change and Hampton slowly but very closely gained on the opponent. Phillips of Hampton was shooting with deadly precision and the superior condition of the local team began to show up. Finally the score became tied and the audience went wild with enthusiasm. Then Howard took the lead again, but it was not for long as they were overtaken. When the whistle ended the game the score was 21 to 18 in Hampton's favor.

In some the regular Lord's Day services were held with the usual encouragement and profit to all worshipers. In others special services were held, that were not only enjoyable and instructive, but also stimulating to the causes presented, and practical and fruitful in the results accomplished. At Bethel A. M. B. Church there was a big and full day; Dr. Brooks, the pastor, preaching a thoughtful, practical and inspiring sermon on "The Bleeding Sacrifice," to a full house in the morning. Dr. Powell giving a stirring address to the men of Baltimore at 3:30 P. M. At which service a large audience was present, which must have been enthused and helped by his sane and practical utterances. At 8 P. M. Dr. Powell preached in his imitative way to an overflowing audience. Many being turned away for lack of seating accommodations. This was the closing of the first week of the Union Evangelistic Campaign now being conducted in this church, under the auspices of the Druid Hill Avenue Branch of the Y. M. C. A. and Bethel Church. Thus far the campaign has proved a great success; resulting in a deep religious awakening in the community and in many hopeful conversions, the converts connecting themselves with the churches of their choice of the denominations of the city. The Branch of the Y. M. C. A. and the officials of Bethel Church are due our thanks for conducting this campaign, and for bringing to our city such a noted and efficient evangelist as Dr. A. Clayton Powell, of New York, with Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, Baltimore's popular pastor and preacher conducting the services. The results of this campaign we predict will be permanent, as well as helpful. At Ebenezer A. M. E. Church the three services were special and in all respects interesting, instructive, and inspiring. At eleven o'clock Pastor Charles E. Stewart preached to a large and appreciative audience a special gospel sermon. At 3.30 P. M. the Rev Junius Gray, his chair and congregation worshiped there, a special sermon was preached by Rev. Gray. At 7.30 P. M. the Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Mussons, Subordinate Lodges, the Grand Chapter and Subordinate Chapters of the Adoptive Rite O. E. S. were present to hear the annual sermon by the Rev. Wm. H. Weaver, D. D. This service was largely attended by the Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge, headed by the W. M. Grand Master, Jos. P. Evans, by the Subordinate Lodges of the city, the members of the Adoptive Rite in full Masonic dress and by the members of the congregation. The church being taxed to its full capacity by the large and appreciative audience. The sermon was inspirational, instructive, and helpful and was enthusiastically received by those who attended upon it. The text was from the 18th Psalm 19 verse "The Lord was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place." Giving the historical setting and general scope of the Psalm the preacher took up and discussed the two precious facts averted to in the text by the writer, King David—1st, the Lord as a Stay—2nd, the Lord as leading those who trust Him, out of many difficulties and from lowly surroundings and circumscribed conditions, into larger places of usefulness and service. In a very practical way he defined what a Stay is—in a building, a prop—a support. As applied to persons—a stand by. He said that the Greek for stand by is Paraclete, and we define or translate Paraclete as comforter-advocate. We have in JX our Lord a stand by—and advocate. Taken up the 2nd general truth of the text. The Lord's leading of those who trust Him to a large place. He showed how David from narrow surroundings and lowly conditions and a humble sphere had been led of God to a large place, but reached it only by the way of many hardships and after many struggles and battles. This is true in the experience of many, who have marked epochs in the world's history, who hearing and answering God's call to service and duty, have gone forth into larger places than where they were, to work wonders for God and men. A prominent note in the song of all God's servants through the ages has been, "He brought me also into a large place." "Obedience to God never contrasts one's powers, nor, lessons one's opportunities for advancement and progress. Christ our Saviour does not lead men backward, but forward—onward and upward. A common experience to most of us that we have a certain contempt of the littleness of the things in the midst of which we are often compelled to live. We often feel compelled and held in by our circumstances, painfully limited and uncomfortable circumscribed we crave largeness. Busy with the little vexatious problems of the day we would prefer to deal with great ones. Fighting daily the battles which only God and ourselves see and know we would prefer to fight one epoch making battle. The apparent insignificant things in our life are those that free and worry us most. "And since this is true whatever enlarges life is a benefaction." Many things were cited by the preacher which enlarge life and are therefore blessings. "The religion of the Nazarene," he said, "was supremely blessed in us as it offered as did no other religion, to its disciples, the most abundant and enlarged life. The view point of the disciple of Christ is from the side of his Lord and Master. He has Christ's perspective; sees things as Christ sees them. And so to him things are transfigured. Life and death—time and duty—sorrow and pain are not what they seem. What Christ wants of us, all, is that we feel, and act in view of infinite relations. He wants us to know that selfishness turns life into something small and confining—that envy, greed, filthhood, cruelty, injustice and base appetites, imprison men and make life small and improbable while the spirit of righteousness and truth extends all the boundaries of the inner man. God never calls to impoverishment and fellowship. He is calling you men and women, here tonight, and you cannot turn from His call without turning away from enlarged life, from usefulness, from true glory and honor and immortality." The preacher set forth the noble principles and sublime teachings of Free and Accepted Masonry, and declared that through the use and practice of them, in the spirit of their true meaning and important significance, all of those connected with the order may expect to be led into a large place as teachers of truth, in effectual efforts to enlighten and instruct. He urged all to the patient continued performance of duties great and small—"Get vision of the Lord, and see the glory of God. The will lift upward to see the promise of the better day—it will move and inspire to labor for its speedier coming, and help ultimately, all to become what they are capable of being actuated by the spirit of unselfish love and service." The offering made to the church by the cratsmen and their friends amounted to more than seventy-eight dollars, and considering the extreme cold night, and the many calls for money, for the many things that are now being made was most excellent. Pastor Stewart in a happy mann- expressed the appreciation of himself and of his membership and congrega- tion of the visit of the Masons, and for their generous contribution to the church, and assured Grand Master Evans and his brethren and sisters of the fraternity, that the pastor and members of Ebenezer would always be found ready to respond to the Mason's call for any service they could render. AT SHARP STREET CHURCH At Sharp St. Memorial M. E. F. Church where evangelistic services are in progress, Sunday morning Pastor M. J. Naylor preached upon the "Glorious Gospel, and at night was assisted by Rev. W. N. Holt, the sing- ing evangelist. There has been a number of conversions since the New Year, and this church and congrega- tion is enjoying special blessings. At the Centennial M. E. Church Pastor Julius Carroll preached morning and evening following with evangelistic services that were most helpful and encouraging. AMES MEMORIAL M. F. CHURCH The master, Roy. A. J. Mitchell, preached last Sunday morning on "The Sad Sheeper in His Lost World" Following the morning service the men of the congregation organized for the Men's Day which will be observed on Sunday, February 24th when Roy. W. H. Brooks, of St. Marks Church, New York City, will be the speaker. From the manner with which the men begin their organization this will be a great occasion. Decision day observed in the Sunday School at 3:30 when more than one hundred members of the Sunday School made their decision to Follow Christ. The revival services have resulted in many accessions to the church. Anacostia, D. C., Jan. 16—Unusually cold weather consisting of snow, sleet and rain under frozen conditions, grips Anacostia and Southeast Washington. Sondering the coal problem here, the churches are doing very well. Last Sunday night Campbell and Macedonin Baptist Churches joined in the annual memorial sermon to the Hillsboro Lodge, No. 28, I. O. of G. S. and D. S. at Macedonin Baptist Church. Mr. Harrod, for 37 years a faithful member of Macedonin Baptist Church, was buried from the above named church the afternoon. He fell upon the ice last Friday evening and died shortly after. Mr. Armstrong, a clerk in the War Dealer, a member of the most highly respected citizens of this place, had a severe fall upon the ice, as did also Mrs. Dorsey, 158 Sheridan Road. Mr. William Moore, assistant, chorister of Campbell Church, was also badly hurt by a fall on the ice last week. Next Sunday will be quarterly Meeting at Campbell Church and the pastor, Rev.

These colored passengers included a clergyman and several Camp Meade Soldiers. The best is yet to come. This is what went on in the car that was TOO GOOD for the colored passengers: Five of the white passengers, including two women, were carrying back to Washington what they came over to Baltimore for. They carried it both inside and outside. Not only were they drunk but they were boisterous. They managed to keep a continuous uproar intermingled with choice "cuss" words. Of course the conductor threatened to put them off, but they were too many for him. Finally a giant white soldier who got on at Annapolis Junction arose, and everybody thought he was going to quiet things down. Instead the drunken men took him good naturally back into the smoker, and before they reached Washington, the big soldier was as silly as the others. "ME AND GOD."

The South is so used to hanging and burning colored folks that this extreme penalty is likely to be given for any offence and for no offence. From the records kept at Tuskegee Institute, Mr. Monroe Work, editor of the Negro Year Book, shows that during the past year there were lynchings for reasons as widely separated as "murder" and "disputing white men's words." Any one who fails to regard the white man as the lord of the universe, and only slightly lower than God, is likely to be lynched. "Me and God" is an expression common to both Kaiser "Bill" and the white man in the Southmen part of the United States. According to Mr. Work, the reasons for the lynching parties in the South may be grouped as follows: "Attempted rape, 5; rape, 6; murder, 3; killing officer of the law, 2; for not getting out of the road and being insolent 2; attacking woman, 2; disputing white men's word, 2; entering woman's room, 2; wounding officer of the law, 1; molesting women, 1; stealing coat, 1; intimacy with woman, 1; killing men in altercation, 1; accidently killing child by running automobile over it, 1; vagrancy, 1; wounding and robbing a man, 1; attacking an officer of the law, 1; opposition to war draft, 1; insulting girls, 1; writing insolent letter, 1. If the above represent the official record of lynchings in the country for the past year it is evident that such a record, bad as it is, does not tell the full story of the number of persons done to death without warning (spurios gelyncht) by mob$ in the South. Counting the 125 victims of East St. Louis, the lynching record for this year is the highest since 1825. There is a sympathetic connection between the autocratic South and autocratic Germany that ought not to pass unnoticed. The dollars and the volunteers to fight Germany have come in the smallest numbers from the Southern Districts. The States most willing to go to war for universal democracy are the Northern and Western States. ```markdown ``` President and C formed at a recent in placing its or- gination the first the President Wilson.

The Dallas, Texas, Express, noting that it is midwinter, remarks that the most of the people who went North, have come up to the expectation of their friends and have not returned. THE NEGRO'S PHYSICAL FITNESS The Negro's loyalty in the past is being recalled everywhere, and his worth as a soldier is emphasized. His physical fitness has caused general comment, and has helped to refute many of the stereotyped charges made against him. It was admitted, in one of the leading cities of North Carolina, that in proportion to population the Negroes outnumbered the whites on the eligible list because the Negroes stood the better physical examinations. And only 5 out of 1800 young Negroes examined at the officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines last summer showed any traces of venereal infection. I would not hesitate for a moment to place this record against that of any other group of young men anywhere in the world. In fact, the war is discovering that the Negro possesses most of the virtues common to men in general. This for the Negro is a tremendous gain. A common cause and a common danger are bringing black men and white men near enough to discern their common qualities and to awaken mutual respect. The country's need is forging a brotherhood of all her defenders. The whole town of Woodsville, Ohio, turned out with a brass band to accompany its one Negro recruit to the railroad station. Georgia towns have given dinners to their black selected men as well as to the whites. The mayor of the City of Athens, Ga., publicly thanked the colored people for their service and helped the registration for service and because thanked the Negro registrar. Southern Workmen. JAPAN SPEAKS FOR DARKER RACES IN ASIA. Japan, the island empire that defeated Russia some years ago, and thereby won recognition as a world power of the first rank, has been in the present war two years longer than the United States. In spite of this fact, no Japanese troops are fighting with the Allies on any of their several fronts, and the great Japanese battle fleet has kept itself far from the submarine activities of North Europe. What is Japan's attitude toward the world war? To M. Matsuoka, semi-official spokesman for his country, and now in this country representing influential Nippon newspapers, we are indebted for a clearing up of this subject. Try frankly M. Matsuoka states why Japan is not doing more or the cause of the allies and shrewdly suggests that there a field, however, in which his country is eager to serve, even Japan joined the allies in this war primarily to fulfill her part of the agreement in the Anglo-Japanese alliance. The Japanese people are proud of having done this successfully, it is hardly advisable to expect them to do more at this time, for they are filled with the same mixture of curiosity, inference and anxiety that was felt in the United States until recently. On this point we let M. Matsouka speak for himself: "Even yet she fails to see clearly how the issue of the war can be simply democracy against autocracy. She has observed the British treatment of Ireland; she feels the inconsistency between the American defense of democracy and the treatment of the Japanese in California and their exclusion from parts of the British empire. Naturally she questions whether democracy in the minds of Anglo-Saxons may not be, after all, something consciously or unconsciously intended for the occidental peoples. She notices, too, that the democratic Americans who feel sure that they are not imperialistic have built a chain of coaling stations and fortifications across the Pacific originating in the Philippine Islands." more than this, continues our Nipponese writer, the send of Japanese troops to Europe is against the will of the lie, besides being physically impossible, because they can only for causes that seem to them to involve the safety in own land. Japan admires greatly the allied plan for improvement in spite of its inconsistencies. As the loath and avow the fate of the major portion of Asia, he is to commend to a greater degree with the allies and from Japan. "It will not be the only people to make your enemies and may yourselves. These may be a great for shortage. Very little things can be made more economically in Japan, and when your request comes, Japan will respond cheerfully." So much for the letter of M. Matsouka. Now what does it mean? First, that Japan is in the war in name only, fondly, that Japan is not more interested in the war because it is suspicious of the allied war aims. Thirdly, Japan isious to take advantage of the war to build up her merchant crime. Of these three points colored people in the United States will be interested chiefly in th second. Four years of European war have not convinced Japan that the reasons for the struggle are anything else but economic and political with the Allies and Germany before the war were attempting subject Asia. Both were formidable to Japan. If they fall and fight, it will weaken both and cause them to confine our activities to home territory for a while. Most interesting, and this is the main point here, the Allies have not convinced Japan of the broad use of this term democracy. England has not used the Irish any milder since a war. America has not made itself an especially happy face for darker peoples since the war. Japan's conclusion, therefore, that the democracy of the Allies means democracy for white people only. "Rear Car" yelled the white doorman, and at the same one blocked the way to the front car in the W. B. and A. station last Thursday night. A well dressed passenger seem- surprised for the moment at this special invitation to him. started a question. Why——" he began. "Rear Car" yelled the white doorman as loudly as before. the line of passengers was being held up. "Why?" insisted the passenger. "Can't everybody get on one car" retorted the doorman sharply. The passenger noted that there were only five people on the front car already. "Is this some of your Jimcrow business," he began again, trying to get his bearings. The station patrolman strolled up to see the reason for the delay. "Rear Car" maintained the doorman thoroughly out of Then the colored passenger showed that he was alive to situation. "This is the car for Washington isn't it?" and on he shoved his ticket under the nose of the doorman, "and is is a first class ticket isn't it? Well, I am going in this car. He only way to get me out will bring me out a corpse, and I can you if you try there may be two corpses." With this he used the doorman aside as if he were a child, and enter the front car, sat down and waited, for the trouble he A LETTER TO DR. FRANCE A Copy of a Letter Sent to U. S. Senator J. L. France Sir:— I see in large headlines in one of our journals where race prejudice has made its appearance in France, and the Southern crackers are trying to poison the minds of the French by discrimination and segregation in the army. No good American man, woman or child can afford to encourage race feelings and prejudice at a time when this great country of ours is at war. If that is done those, who are discriminated against will surely get cold feet, the result of which will bring about a condition of unrest. I have three sons, who I have advised to be brave and courageous for this government and as an ex-soldier I give this advice to all men. Therefore, if this is true, I hope you will use your good office as a member of congress that all men, black or white, may be treated justly. TO PRESENT AMBASSADOR "The Ambassador" a drama written by Edward Huckley will be given by the Estilimone Amateur Players' Club at Albaugh's Theatre on February 11 under the direction of Mr. Huckley and the management of J.

DAVENPORT ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS CAN BE ARMY OFFICERS There is a law, we understand, that does not permit any, but citizens of the United States to become officers in the American Army. On account of this law it has become necessary to refuse the services of a number of Russian officers, now in France who are willing and ready to be used by General Pershing as he might see fit. It is said that many of these Russian officers, could they have been used, would have proved of great value to our forces, now at the front, as instructors, aviators, and interpreters. We are not permanently settled in our conviction, whether a law which does not permit the use of such men is altogether a good and wise one, or not, but we do think that under the conditions, that we are in this war, and considering the character of the enemy we are fighting, and the end we have in view, that is to say at the least, that it is unfortunate that any law of our own making, should be allowed to stand in the way of our using any, and all men, who are in sympathy with our aims, and who can and are willing to help us in attaining them. REDUCED PURCHASING VALUE OF THE AMERICAN DOLLAR The necessity for all the people of our country to practice the strictest economy in these war days is to be found in the fact, that since this world war began the American dollar has decreased 50 per cent in its purchasing value. Not only every item of food, but practically everything necessary to existence has increased in price and while there are various reasons for the present increased cost of the necessities; such as the interruption in production, by the taking from their various pursuits many men, in the following of which these necessities of existence were made and produced, by their entrance in the war, and upon other lines of work, now urgent for workers, and the great demand on our resources. The Allies, on the neutrals, nevertheless the great chief cause is the war. From this it is apparent that we all should be willing, at any cost and sacrifice to do everything possible to bring to the apedist close this horrible war, not only to secure the high and mobile ends for which we entered the war and are now fighting—the establishment and preservation of world democracy and liberty—for future permanent peace, and as we to have our own American dollar to regain its high standard of value. GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF THE RAILROADS Notwithstanding there is of great unanimity of opinion, as to whether there will, finally, be government ownership of the roads, or not, from a general view of the various. Press opinions it is strongly indicated that the operation of the railroads of the country, by the Federal government will prove beneficial, both for the time of the war's duration and afterwards. That for the time of the war it will give the advantage of unified, coordinated and economized conduct of the railroads and that if this conduct is successful, it will show that that which is so very necessary to proper management and control can be had without government ownership, if such conduct is pursued in the future. And again such control as is now carried on by the Federal government under the supervision of Secretary Meadow will bring such experiences as will tend to mould and crystallize public sentiment as to the sanest course to follow regarding the railroads when peace is secured and declared. The thing that was certainly sorely needed has been done—the putting of the roads under one head, that the great part that is to be done by them in the stress of these war times may not be delayed and hindered by diversified control and authority, so liable to conflict, congestion, and strikes. Reports from Annapolis, Maryland indicate that from the present outlook, there is not the slightest reason to doubt the passage by both branches of the Legislature, the Annexation bill drafted by the Nonpartisan Greater Baltimore City Extension League. We trust that the bill will pass, be signed by the governor, and our city be given the opportunity to grow and develop into the great metropolis it should be. All Baltimoreans and Marylanders as well should have the desire to see Baltimore, second, to no city, in everything that goes to make a great, clean and progressive municipality. Many important issues or problems are now before the State Legislature for consideration and action; all of which will require for their proper disposition the wisdom of true Statesmanship. The wisdom that forecast the future, that can be given and used, in the consideration of such problems, only by men of broadest vision, of courage, conviction, daring and intrepidity—by men who will evince a spirit of fairness, justice and progressiveness, without the thought of partisan advantage. In the recent Red Cross Membership Campaign, a new membership of 102,003 were secured in Baltimore city and Baltimore county. We are glad to know that many of our own people are included in this number. Another evidence that we are willing to identify ourselves with and support every worthy cause. --- The total loans of the United States Government to the Allies have amounted to $4,238,400,000. We have been, indeed very generous in our loans to the Allies, hoping no doubt, that largely through our financial aid of them, we would help them win the war. It is evident now, however, that to help win this awful war our country must put into it more than money. All our resources are to be drawn up—money, food, fuel, munitions, men, brains; and the sooner all of these are utilized, the sooner will the war end, and we get the kind of peace most to be desired, without when we will not be satisfied. . The Evangelistic Campaign now being held at Bethel Church will close next Sunday night and a series of evangelistic services will begin at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church the following Monday evening at W. W. Church, Dovens, of Bethel A. M. E. Church as the preacher for each evening. At the meeting of the Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense held in our city Wednesday of this week. A clear statement was given in the chairman's report of what the Council had helped to accomplish since its organization, and it was definitely pointed out what are its aims and purposes. This statement was gratifying and to some extent satisfying to some of us folks who are not on the inside and for gis as well other reasons are not so well informed on the subject as some others upon the matter. The questions have some times arisen with us. "What is the Council of Defense aiming to do with us colored people? and what does it expect us to do with it and for it?" In some of the recommendations of the chairman these questions were at least in part answered. In the circular giving notice of the very successful meeting of the very successful meeting of the colored branch held last Wednesday it was stated that "This public effort of the Council is intended to reaffirm the colored man's loyalty and patriotism, and to impress the country at large, as well as those in his immediate vicinity that no sacrifice is too great for him to make when his country needs his time and service." We have never thought that there has been any special need for the reaffirmation of the colored man's loyalty and patriotism even at this time. The colored man has always been in every crisis of the country's history, and is now both loyal and patriotic, and in the present world crisis he is proving himself equally so, responding to every call of his country; willing if needs be to give up his life, his all, in defense of her honor and in the preservation of her rights. The American people in our vicinity and those of the country at large, know that we are loyal, and patriotic and that we can be depended upon to do our part courageously and heroically, as well as faithfully and loyalty. We are in sympathy with every movement that in any way helps to interest our people in what is for their uplift and betterment for the prosperity of our beloved country, and that will serve in helping to win the war. The Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense has done well in more clearly defining its mission and sphere, through the excellent meetings held last Wednesday.

In Montclair the death knell has already sounded by the refusal of the Board of Commissioners to renew any liquor licenses, while in Newark only the saloonkeepers, who consent to burn nothing but candles and oil after 10 o'clock at night will be allowed to keep open for business. --- TONING HIM UP "You look better since prohibition came on."

Biddle street. Whenever a white man assumes leadership of our people whether he leadership be in affairs political, national, or otherwise; the moreoughtful members of the race alas invariably inquire into his preus record regarding his attitude toward the Negro as such. This is not because of a super-abundance of positiveness on the part of the Negro. I because we, not unlike, our white other have begun to think. There is the easy resulting from the moral humanity human nature to conceal ifsible, one's real attitude for policy's; if that attitude seems to be a race to the desired success. We similarly call it diplomacy. Thus to the sincerity of the utterances actions of any man in an official representative capacity; it is well ascertain the real spirit of the man making his past life when untrained by the lire of office or position in their consequent honors and columns. For this reason I feel that I owe it to Principal Gregg, as I as the members of my race to this word of appreciation of a man so worthy. As has been stated the press, after graduation from award University with the degrees A. B, and A. M., Mr. Gregg enter-Yale Divinity School and graduated the class of 1903. It was the private and pleasure of the writer to be member of the same class and as such, a rare opportunity was afforded to study with care the life of the lect of this article. the Hon. George Foster Peabody, New York, representing the Hampstead Institute Board of Trustees exposed concisely what I would like to stress more in detail when in interview, Mr. Gregg to the public, he: "The new principal brings to his the moral courage which made moral Armstrong during and the仪统 sensity which made Doctor gell wise." If there is ever a time in the life of man, when he is absolutely void restraint and conservatism, or in words, when he is really him, it is in his student life at the age or university. I feel that I saw Mr. Gregg as a student. I saw that every member of my race judges the adequacy of his educational qualifications; moreover he is aminently fitted. We are now or to know the inner life of the child. This I desire to give us I have a personally impressed. He was of all deeply religious, that kind religion that carries with it real secondly, he was congenial, and before loved and respected by every member of the class. Thirdly, he was sympathetic. No member of class was more considerate with faults and failures of his brother to he. Fourthly, he was unassuming. No one would have known from action j that he held at the time to the degrees of A. B., and A. M. in Harvard University. And last and most important of all to us is, was fair and impartial to all. In my possession now a formalization to his marriage ceremony, wedding reception when he be the husband of Miss Paulinepolly, March 16, 1905. Every member of the class was a classmate him regardless of race. In addition, Gregg's liberal education and character, he will carry with him Hampton Institute that sagacity will serve him well in the administration of the affairs of this institution of learning. With the credit to the illustrious founder and full appreciation for the series of the late distinguished principal Dr. Frezzell, if those characters and qualifications as expressed lines of Robert Eurns give us type of man for successful leadership, then with James Edgrega principal of Hampton Institute, I may predict for the latter half of first century of the existence of famous institution of learning, a more glorious history than the old record of the former. ev.

The duty of the job are neither onerous nor not essential; but (that one little word "but" it is rather discouraging at times. First, the editor of this Column takes a deep interest in this paper—you all (I hope) do that. She or he reads very carefully with it and handles the work of improvement in mind. If after reading her column she thinks it rather weak, is is her business to try to improve and make it stronger, and she can only do so by illuminating the weak points, if there is something she likes to say, she says it and tells you why she likes it. The mind of the editor of this Column is constantly on the alert for some new ideas that may be of advantage to the paper and readers. There may be some special subject that she feels a majority of womankind would be interested in, or what would be of benefit to them—it is her duty to make that suggestion. If she finds some feature that does not seem to take she discards it and tries another. Of course all of her work is overdone by the editor of the paper and features it less than she discarded; but very few of her plans have been projected or vetoed. Now if one person is so important and necessary to this column thinks what it would be to her to have the lowest calculation 5,000 (Five Thousand) Association Eaters—every one with the best interest of the paper deeply at heart, everyone striving to BAGS Silk lends.

Think what that would mean! Now that has been her dream, ever since she started to edit this column. She wants you to help her make her dream come true. You know we are told on undoubted authority that "Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen," and she wants to prove the verity of the saying, and she wants you to help her prove it, and this is what she wants you to do. If there is any particular topic you would like to see taken up in our Column from time to time, just slip into the Editor's place and say so. Tell us why you would like to have an article and why other women would like it. It is her mission to give you exactly what you want, but she can not be quite sure of what it is unless you tell her. One of the ideas this Editor of the Woman's Column has firmly fixed in her mind and has accepted with all her heart and accorded to it the sustenance of steadfast belief, is that nothing is too good to be true—for good and not evil is the great reality of life. She really believes that an earnest desire for a certain thing will bring it to one. She has long dreamed of a larger and greater "Aro" and eventually a whole woman's page, to say to others and give to others the things they want. Part of her dream has become realized. WILL not you my dear readers help her to realize her dream not only in part but as a whole? She believes that dreams come true. She believes that whatever we want—if we want it hard enough—we can have. But she also knows that to merely wish for a thing, however good and right it may be for us to gain the desired end, and sit down and dream about it, feeling in our hearts of hearts that it is not for us, is not the way to set about getting it.

The appeal is one that should be taken up at once and with vim and energy. There is no vehicle in this city by which the women of the city and State can be heard, and it is to the advantage of all of them that they would like to say and put on foot the things they would like to see done. Let us see, ladies, if you are going to take advantage of the opportunity which is now offered to you.

"Decree reversed and bill dismissed, the appellee to pay costs above and below, are the concluding words of the opinion handed down at Annapolis Tuesday last by the Court of Appeals in the celebrated case of The Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge P. & A. Masons of the State of Mary- land and Milton R. Lee. Milton R. Lee, an employee of the City Post-Office and a member of the Masonic Fraternity, was suspended some few years ago from the order for the breach of some Masonic regulation. He filed in one of the Circuit Courts, his Bill of Complaint, alleging the unlawfulness of his suspension and praying an injunction against Enterprise Lodge No. 3 and the Grund Lodge of the State. Attorneys for the Fraternity filed a demurrier to his Bill of Complaint, and upon hearing had before Judge Heusler the demurrier was overruled. Thereupon an appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals. Argument was had there in the October term of 1916 resulting in an opinion sustaining the lower court, but remanding the case to the Circuit Court for trial on its merits. The case came on to be heard before Judge Duffy in January 1917, fully seven days being consumed in the trial thereof. A great array of witnesses was summoned for both sides, and the trial attracted the general attention of Masons, both white and colored. At its conclusion Judge Duffy signed a decree, sweeping in its character, nullifying the trial and suspension of Lee, and ordering his reinstitution to membership and to the honors he had enjoyed in the Masonic Order. In due time attorneys for the fraternity ordered an appeal from Judge Duffy's decree and the cause was sent, for the second time, to the Court of Appeals. Oral argument was heard before that body on October 4th, 1917. Upon the assembling of the Court yesterday at Annapolis for the January Term, one of the first cases disposed of was the Lee case, Judge Constable delivering the opinion. Thus ends one of the most important fraternal trials ever had in this State, with the sanitary effect that Masonry among colored men triumphs over that small element in its ranks, and their friends on the outside, who wish to subordinate the regulations and traditions of the Fraternity to their own will. The chief contention of Masonry throughout this protracted and costly litigation is that Masonry provides its own tribunal for adjustment of grievances of members against the fraternity, that this tribunal had acted and its action was conclusive upon its members, and this being so, the civil courts were without jurisdiction. W. Ashorde Hawkins, who is Grand Orator of the Order, and his partner, George W. F. Meichen, represented the interests of the Masonic Fraternity and Lee's interests were cared for by Warner T. McGuinn and A. C. Binswanger. The culmination of this case has proven beyond any question of doubt. the ability of the leadership of Grand Master Joseph P. Evans, who has maintained implicit confidence through all of these petty allegations, that the unquestionable rights of Masonry would triumph in the end. And from now on let us hope that each member will strive to prove his loyalty, that the great aims and achievements may be better conserved. As we have no fees to avenge, or friends to reward.

STUDENT BURGLAR CAUGHT BY STUDENT VICTIMS BY STUDENT VICTIMS How a number of students who had een the victims of repeated robberies at a prominent Southern University, formed themselves into a sort of im- promptu detective bureau, and rounded up the scoundrels, by establishing A series of watches throughout the school, was told a representative of the Afro-American by one of the victims, a few days ago. For several months past students at this school have been embarrassed, and puzzled over the disappearance of clothing, and other personal effects, articles of value, such as watches, jewelry, sweaters and shoes. Loth to call in the local police authorities because of the scandal it might add to the school's reputation. the heads of the University decided to wait further developments in the hope that the thieving would stop or that the scamps would be appre- ended; meanwhile articles continued to disappear. Finding that they would soon be compelled to leave school for lack of something to wear to classes, students who had become the unwilling victims of the culprits' ravages, banded themselves together for mutual protection and decided to stand watch throughout the school during the ensuing days until the bold burglaries were frightened or apprehended, and it was with such good result that in a few days the round-up of the thieves was concluded and it became necessary to call in the police authorities, who released two gentlemen-student-burglaries on a year and two-year paroles, respectively.
