Hampton Delcats Carlisle Hampton, Va., Feb. 13.—Hampton institute defeated the Carlisle Indians at basketball in the school gymnasium on Saturday night, February 9. The game was played before a large and enthusiastic audience which had gathered to see the famous Indian team play. The game began with the visitors making the first score, but they were soon followed by several from Hampton. In a few minutes Hampton had taken the lead. Gurnoe and Wright began breaking up the long, swift swipes of the Indians. The visitors were successful in making several spectacular shots, but the short suns of McLaren and Phillips were beginning to be more effective. The first half ended with Hampton having 27 points, while the Indians had only 12. In the second half the visitors were completely outplayed. Nevertheless they fought on in good spirit until the whistle ended the game. The line up follows: 92d Division Issues Call for Trained Men Cajun Funston, Kansas, Feb. 14—Authority has been granted by the War Department whereby coloured men of suitable ages may collect voluntarily for military service and be transferred to the 92nd Army Division. This authority will greatly facilitate the proper organization of this Division and bring our technical units up to the desired standard. Up to this time considerable difficulty has been experienced in securing specifically trained men—men skilled in the various trades—such as civil engineers, stenographers, typists, auto repairers, electricians, telegraph and radio operators, linemen, cable spliceers, drafters, plumbers, pharmacists, burns makers, clerks, etc. During the recent publicity campaign a number of such men have been secured, but the need is still far greater than the supply. Under the authority above referred to it is hoped that the full quota of men of this class will be secured. In a circular issued by Lieutenant T. H. C. of the Civil Division, the crematorium Officer, of the Division, "The strength of the division as a whole must depend upon the strength of its component parts. Our highest purpose is to make every arm and branch of this Division as strong as the best material in the race will make it. In addition to the native pride of the Negro in his country and race, there are other strong incentives which should lead the qualified Negro to answer the call of his country at the moment. Splendid opportunities are open to men of special training, such as many of our young men possess, in the army, Brains and ability are at a premium in the army more so than in civil life. Rapid advance and promotion variably fall to the lot of men of ability whether they enter as drafted men or as volunteers. The great advantage, however, to the man of draft age, who volunteers is that he begins his advancement sooner than the man who waits to be drafted. Large numbers of men of proper qualifications are needed for commissioned and non-commissioned officers. Men who were drafted only two months ago are now candidate-students in the Officers' Training Camp. These camps are open to men of proven ability. The first step is to be trained. The National administration, the War Department, the officers directly in charge of the Division, the Negro race, the United States and the world at large are watching to see how we shall play our part. Those who know us best believe we will do our full duty. The past record of the race, whether as civilian or soldier indicates that they will not be disaffected. "At the same time it must be impressed upon the civilians—the members of the race not in the ranks—that there is much they can do to bring the Negro Army Division up to the full measure of the Nation's expectation, and their els no doubt that a full and just measure of appreciation will be accorded the race in proportion to the Manner in which it responds to the country's need in this emergency." BALTIMOREANS HAVE HITCH Have to Protest to Conductor to Get Decent Accommodation. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 13—The Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia delegations to the Bishop's Council arrived here yesterday safe and sound but somewhat tired and much disgusted.

On reaching the L. & N station they found in waiting the end of a "jimmy car" that was totally inadequate for the 36 persons in the party. This brought forth a vigorous kick from Prof. John R. Hawkins, to the conductor, who after some delay finally secured for them an all-stair chair car. They arrived here about 8 o'clock and were soon assigned. BAKER SENDS FINE LETTER Praises Colored Officers For Zeal in Imparting Principles of Democracy to Drafted Men. EXPLAINS DEMOCRACY Says it is no Social Distinction or Privilege of the Few to the Detriment of the Many Chicago, Ill. Feb. 13—The following letter from Secretary of War Eaker was read at a mass meeting held in the Coliseum, the occasion being a celebration of Lincoln's birthday, under the auspices of the National Security League. "I am in receipt of your telegram inviting me to be present and to deliver the principal address at a Mass Meeting to be held at the Coliseum in Chicago on the afternoon of February 12th, under the auspices of the Chicago Branch of the National Security League in connection with the representatives and leaders of the patriotic citizens of your community. "As stated to you in the telegraphic reply which Mr. Emmett J. Scott, my special assistant, forwarded to you at my instance and request, I sincerely wish it were possible for me to be present on the occasion referred to, for I would then have a splendid opportunity to tell of the fine spirit with which the great test of the equality of America is being met by the colored people of our country. But the pressure of my official duties here compels me to forgive this pleasure. "I wish, however, in view of my enforced absence to send, especially to the colored Americans of your community and elsewhere, just a few words of encouragement and confidence. "In our Reserve Officers' Training Camp, recently held at Fort Los Moles, Iowa, representative young men and men presented themselves for training. They devolved themselves with zeal to the task and they are now imparting to the men under their charge the military lessons which they themselves learned. But more than this, they are teaching to their fellow men the principles for which America is in the war—the vital principles which are the foundation of the hopes of free people, and the keystone of National Security. "After all, what is this thing we call "Democracy" and about which we hear so much nowadays? Surely it is no catch-phrase or abstraction. It is demonstrating too much vitality for that. It is no social distinction or privilege of the few, for we it that, it could not win the hearts of peoples and make them willing to do for its establishment. But it is, it seems to me, a hope as wide as thigh chum race, involving men everywhere—a hope which permits each of us to look forward to a time when not only we, but others will have our respective rights, founded in the generosity of Nature, and protected by a system of justice which will adjust its apparent conflicts. Under such a hope nations will do justice to nations, and men to men. Nor can I believe that this democracy will be attained as a finished and complete thing, but rather with increased education and knowledge, its application will enlarge and new meanings be discovered in it. It is not the philosophy of disorder, but of progressive order, not the doctrine of restraint by force, but rather of self-resistant imposed my man who realize that one man's freedom is safest when that of others is equally safe. "In a most encouraging degree, it is being regarded by colored civilians throughout the country, as a privilege and as a duty to give liberally of their substance, of their time, of their talents, of their energy, of their influence, and in every way possible, to contribute toward the growth and success of our fighting units and those of our allies across the wars. "The colored men, who were subject, are to be commended upon their promptness and courage in registering their names for service in the National Army, and likewise mention is made of the actively law persecuting of occupation claims filed by them. Those in the service of their country, I am sure, will prove faithful and efficient, and will uphold the traditions of their race. "It is indeed, most titling that you should hold your petite getting on the day set apart in honor of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, whose name is synonymous with Freedom and gene democracy. "Hoping that your meeting and all of your worthy efforts may be crowned with success, I am. Correctly yours. (Signed) NEWTON D. BAKER Secretary of War William H.

(ACCOUNT OF GAME) In the first half of the game it looked that Morgan would have a easy time disposing of the Officers' team. J. Webb, of Morgan, teamed the festivities by scoring a foul goal which opened up the Morgan rooters' mouths and right tastily did they yell. A few minutes afterwards he counted with another foul. The officers could not get themselves together. Lack of team practice showed up glaringly on both sides; there was little or no passing to tak of done by either team. J. Webb of the Officers' team, who most of the scoring for his side, being three goals during this half, Lieutenant Den Hill got away beautiful goal from field.

The committee on rules of the Board of School Commissioners of Baltimore made an unfavourable report to the board at its session Wednesday on the proposition to have the colored schools placed under control of two colored supervisors, or superintendents. The unfavourable report was adopted. The committee gave its its reasons lack of funds, but it is generally known that a large majority of the Board of Superintendents was opposed to the scheme, feeling that it reflected upon their handling of the coated situation. It is also alleged that the head of a colored secondary school looked with disfavor upon the plan, primarily, it is alleged, because he was not consulted. The teaching force was nearly equally divided, some looking upon it as the proper solution of a situation that is admittedly bad, while others took the ground that no one in sight possessed the general ability and breadth of vision in a sufficient thigh degree as to have the confidence of the teaching body, without which success would be impossible. The Male Assistant Teachers' Association went on record as favoring the scheme, but talked at the restrictions the committee sought to throw around it. This, it is said, had much to do with the teachers' opposition. It is reported, however, that the Citizens Committee having the matter in charge, will renew their efforts in the fall when the school estimates for 1919 are being made up.

GREAT EVANGELIST LAID TO REST Mrs. Annie E. Brown, one of the most prominent colored evangelistic and religious workers in the country, died at the home of her son, Dr. Harry F. Brown, 1501 Pressman street, last Friday afternoon, following a lingering illness. Death was due to heart trouble and a complication of diseases. For the past ten years she has made her home at Jupiter, Fla., and several months ago came to Baltimore to undergo treatment. About a year ago she visited ill by ill at *Sanatoga Springs*, N. Y. and had to be brought to this city where she was confined to her room until her death. Mrs. Brown, the daughter of Sarah and Thomas Brown, was born in Charlottesville, Va., October 23, 1863. She came to Washington when but a child and received her education in the public schools there. At the age of 15 she was married to Henry F. Brown of Washington, D. C. shortly after her marriage she was converted at her home in Washington, the mother of four sons, namely Robert G. I. Edward H., Harry F. and Ericson E. A few years after she became an active member of the church, she felt that she was called to preach the gospel. She preached her trial sermon in Ashbury M. E. Church at which time Rev I. L. Thomas was pastor. He realized that she had unspeakable gifts and great spiritual power when she began her career as a preacher, and as the M. E. Conference did not recognize her as a preacher, she became an evangelist and was successful from the start. Thousands of men, women and children have been converted at her services. She held religious campaigns in all the principal cities of the country. About this time she volunteered her services to the government to do religious and constructive work among the colored soldiers at Camp Algiers, Va., where she preached from a wagon. Great success was accomplished in this way, and many soldiers became Christians. This is how the idea of a Gospel Wagon originated in her mind, and she then began soliciting money for the purpose. It was not long before she succeeded in equiping a large wagon, similar to a street car, with sleeping compartments, and convenience for cooking, etc. The wagon carried a puttable, seats for band of singers and was actually a church on wheels. The first subscription of $5.00 toward the cost of the Gospel Wagon was made by Governor Lowndes of Maryland. When she first came to Baltimore with her Gospel Wagon Rev. L. M. Beekett heard her preach in an alley and he asked her to come and preach to his congregation for a few nights. Her success was so marvelous that she spent almost two months at St. John's Church. At this meeting alone, over 500 people were converted. In February 1993 she came to Sharp St. Memorial Church, this city, at the invitation of Dr. I. L. Thomas, the pastor, and conducted religious services. More than 15,000 persons heard her during these meetings. Each night many were turned away as the church was overfilled. 607 people were converted at this resful. The congregation served at Ames Memorial Church, Pope Memorial, Allen Chapel, Handy Chapel, Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion, Perkins Square Baptist and Centennial M. E. Churches. While she was holding meetings in New York, she got the idea of broadening her work by other methods than preaching, and she established a home in New York city for wary girls known as the Rescue Mission, which was located on West 133rd street. Hundreds of girls were taken off the streets of New York by this institution and saved from immoral paths. A similar home and school was organized a few years ago at Jupiter, Fla., and at the time of her death she was grieved because she had not finished her plans for the great work that was started at this institution. Mrs. Brown is survived by her mother (Mrs. Sarah Wood), one sister (Mrs. Carrie E. Paul of Atlantic City, N. J.), a brother (Thomas Brown), three sons (Robert O. J. Brown of Jupiter, Fla., Dr. Harry F. Brown and Erlsson E. Brown), and four grandchildren. A-testonial service was held at Ames Memorial M. E. Church, Baltimore, Monday, February 11, where the remains laid in state from 11 A. M. to 11 A. M. same day. Funeral service was held at Schary M. E. Church, Washington, D. C. on Tuesday, Feb. 12th, at 2 P. M. where the body lay in state from 12 to 2 P. M. Interment was in Harmony Cemetery, Washington. Mrs. Robert Elliott had charge of the funeral arrangements.

Church, the pastor-preaching. The sum of $18 was turped over to the trustees.

THE PORO HAIR SYSTEM Have your hair treated at MME, E. J. PERRY 1902 Dr. J. Hill Ave. Hair Dressing Parlor, Open Daily Hair Dressing System also Taught AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC We are sending out this most urgent appeal that has come to the Colored Section of the Maryland Council of Defense, from Captain W. A. Lackey, M D., in charge of the Colored Pneumonia Ward at Camp Meade. It is his firm conviction that many lives will be saved by equipping this ward with a Sun Parlor, in which patients can get the invaluable benefits of sunshine and fresh air. He has the consent of the proper authorities to have it erected by outsiders. The approximate cost of $500 is nothing in comparison to the good it will do. Therefore, we should at at once raise this amount for the following reasons, and we take this method to appeal to you: 1. It is a great opportunity to save human lives. 2. It is a patriotic duty; we owe it to the soldier boys. 3. It will advance the standing of Negroes in the eyes of the world. The Rev. Wm. H. Weaver, D. D., has been appointed by the Council to approach our Ministers. Society Leaders, Business Men and the Public in general for Contributions. Checks can be made payable to Rev. A.L.
