SEGREGATION GE Court of Appeals Puts Qu Attempt of City Solons Colored People Sh SEGREGATION IN BALTIMORE Court of Appeals Puts Quietus On Fourth Attempt of City Solons to Say Where Colored People Shall Live. BRADY AT WORK ON SNOWDEN CASE VOL. XXVI. No. 24. The local segregation law was given its last rites when the Maryland Court of Appeals handed down a decision Wednesday declaring the ordinance invalid and in violation to the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision was expected as the United States Court recently declared a similar law invalid and Judge John C. Rose, of the United States District Court had subsequently held that the ruling of the highest court of the land applied to the Baltimore ordinance. Judge Rose's opinion was in the case of Dr. William T. Coleman, who had been arrested for moving into the 2000 block of McCauan street, after the Supreme Court rendered its decision. Attorney Warner T. McGainn appeared for Dr. Coleman. The opinion handed down by the Court of Appeals was in the case of John H. Jackson, who had been convicted and fined $500 for moving into the 1500 block of Baker street. His attorneys carried the case to the Court of Appeals. Judge Upron handed down the opinion reversing the lower court. It was the second time the Court of Appeals had rendered an opinion against segregation, the first time being in the case of John H. Curry who rented a property on Laurens street near Pennsylvania avenue. The court in its opinion in the Curry case, how- Warned Against False Optimism Negro Must Use "Extreme Caution" and Face Facts Atlantic City, Feb. 28—"The American Negro needs to exercise extreme caution lest it be swept away on a wave of false optimism," says Floyd Delos Franes, secretary-general of the Negro American Alliance. In a statement which the Alliance is sending out from its national headquarters, the Secretary General continues: "It is well to be optimistic and look on the bright side of things, but there is a danger mark that must be carefully avoided. At the present time there is much machine-made opinion finding its way into the public print. The Negro is being assured that all s well. There is much talk about what he has done in the past and how he can be depended upon in the future. He is being lured as an American citizen who always rises equal to the emergency. While being filled with enthusiasm by hired enthusiasts it is well for him to pause, face the facts squarely and use his common sense. "We are at war with Austria, yet Austrian alien enemies have more privileges than Negro soldiers in uniform. The fact is that democracy is being made a force and mockery right here in America. It is time for the Negro to cease fooling himself or when the war is over he will be lost." An enthusiastic meeting at Sharp Street Memorial Church on Monday night, in the interest of John Snowden, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Brandon, in Annapolis, and a joint meeting of the Baltimore and Annapolis committees on Tuesday were the developments in the fight to secure for the convicted man a new trial. At the meeting Monday night, addresses were delivered by Revs. Ernest Lyon, W. M. Alexander and Captain George W. Brown, and a substantial sum was raised to carry the car eto the Court of Appeals. A committee from Baltimore, composed of Revs. Naylor, Stepteau and Alexander and Captain George Brown held a conference with the women of Annapolis, who raised the funds to carry on the first case and were informed that A. T. Brady, chief counsel in the first case, had been secured and in order that the case might be gone; into immediately, a public-splited citizen had loaded $500 with him, the approximate amount needed to carry the case to theehigher --- Father of Segregation Law Appears in Brand New Role ever, intimated that the Mayor and City Council might draft a law that it would approve. The first segregation law in the country was passed in this city during the administration of Mayor J. Barry Mahod. The first arrest under the law was in the case of a colored woman who moved into the 3600 block of Argyle avenue. The local courts invalidated the law and then a second and a third was passed. Following the decision in the Gurry case the fourth law was passed. SEGREGATION FOUGHT The measures here were fought at all times by the colored people. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, during the presidency of Dr. F. N. Cardozo, raised quite a sum to fight the law. The operation of the law was such as to hamper the colored people in every way. They were prevented from expanding and were also forced to pay exhortant rents for homes in blocks open to the race. The segregation spirit was invoked by whites every time colored people wanted to expand. Two notable instances were when Morgan College purchased its new site on the Harford Troun and when the Men's Christian Association was forced to give up its site at the corner of McCulloh and Dolphin streets. Since the Supreme Court rendered its decision colored people have moved into a number of blocks hitherto exclusively occupied by whites. Capt. Spencer to be Retired? Veteran Officer in First Separate Company Asks to be Retired After 35 Years Newport News, Va., Feb. 25—Captain W. K. Spencer of the United States Army, has forwarded his application to the Adjutant General at Washington, asking to be retired from active service. Captain Spencer has passed his 64th birthday and has been in the service of the Maryland National Guard since 1882. He entered the service as private in the old Monumental Guards, February 1882, was promoted to second lieutenant in June of the same year, and was made captain year later. He has been in continuous service ever since. When the present war broke out the First Separate Company, (the old Monumental Guards) was called into service, and Captain Spencer has been serving up to the present. If retired he will probably be given the rank of major. Father of Segregat Appears i The spectacle of Attorney Milton Dashkill, author of Baltimore's segregation law, defending the right of a colored family to move anywhere they desired, was presented in the Juvenile Court a few days ago. He was appearing as attorney for Watson Cooper, who bought and moved into the threestory dwelling at 1102 Myrtle avenue. "I drew the segregation," he exclaimed, as he pointed his finger at a number of white boys who had been arrested for breaking the front and rear windows of the Cooper home. "but now that the Supreme Court has ruled that segregation laws are invalid I bow as an American citizen. You boys who threw stones are not good American citizens. Judge Williams fined the boys and warned them against a repetition of the offense. The last ntack was made last Saturday, broken front and rear windows resulting. Mr. Cooper bought the property through Arthur L. Johnson, a real estate agent. Young white boys annoyed him by breaking windows and also threatening the family. 1,108 Members in 'Y' Campaign Workers Carry Membership Over The One Thousand Mark With a Rush The membership campaign which closed Monday evening, February 25, was the most interesting as well as the most successful campaign ever conducted by the Baltimore Association. Sunday, February 24, at 4 P. M. the association needed 242 members to reach the goal. Secretary Booker, still confident of victory, made his last appeal to the workers and friends at Ames M. E. Church who he said "We are going to win." We must win." The men were willed with enthusiasm. More than thirty men joined within ten minutes after Secretary Booker's burning appeal. The list was headed by Dr. A. J. Mitchell, the pastor. The workers left the church, each one going in a different direction and each one determined to go the limit in order to win. The interest was at fever heat and every body was talking about the campaign. No conversation was complete without the question—"Are you a member of the 'Y?' Secretary Booker, in order to get a line on things, got in touch with the leading workers and urged them to spare no pains in pushing the campaign. At ten P. M. Monday the Y. M. C. A. building was crowded with men and boys, all anxious about the outcome and many doubted victory, some went so far as to say that we must extend the campaign. The tide was not changed until Secretary Booker appeared on the scene and lined up the workers for the final report. The report was given on paper to Secretary Booker who tabulated the whole list before posting. There was a dead silence, both young and old waited to see the figures posted on the big chart. The silence was broken when the figures were added—for the count showed that 328 members had been secured on the last day and that the boys had gone "over the top" with 1,103 members. D. J. Lewis had to his credit 148 members, winning the first prize, a pair of gold cuff links, for the third consecutive year. Hats off to Lewis, the greatest member getter in town. Desmond Lynch with 82 members was the winner of the second prize, a gold scarf pin and BenJ. P. Dixon was winner of the third prize, a black laminak ticket case. The navy downed the army by 100 members. Navy 364. Army 264. The winning team clinched the proposition made by Dr. Credit who offered a scholarship to some worthy boy providing we reach 1,000 members on the date set. This membership closed the one dollar rate in the local Y. M. C. A. The membership today is $2.00 for men and one dollar for boys. One hundred and thirty-five boys joined the association during the campaign and Secretary Booker plans to organize this group into a Boy's Division and a course in drills and calisthenic work will be given looking forward to the new building. Tion Law in Brand New Role demanded police protection. It is needless to say that, protection was forthcoming and the whites are not as belligerent as formerly. Mr. Cooper, through Attorney Dashell has entered suit claiming two thousand dollars damages form the parents of the white boys who broke out his windows. A colored family has purchased a house in the 1300 block of Myrtle avenue and there is said to be a dicker dicker on for a house in the 1300 block. Mr. Johnson says he looks for the colored people to move everywhere. Police protection must be demanded at all times, he says. COLORDE BOYS IN FRONT. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 22—For the first time in the history of Norfolk colored troops marched at the head of a procession of white soldiers in this city. It was a demonstration in honor of Washington's birthday and to stimulate interest in war stamps.

Washington, February 27—Acting on the number and character of appeals for clemency coming from all parts of the country, from individuals as well as organizations, President Will son has granted an indefinite respite to the five colored soldiers of the Twenty-Fourth Infantry, sentenced to death by court mortal for participation in the Houston riot. The President has notified the War Department that he will suspend all action in these cases until the entire record of the court martial proceedings in the cases of the thirty other members now on trial at San Antonio are in his hands. Thirteen of the alleged rioters have already been hanged and forty or more are now serving heavy prison terms. The trials of others began last week. The secret hanging of the thirteen men caused a wave of protest, many influential newspapers joining theeon. The protest was largely because the men were hanged before any public notice was given. There was also a strong opinion that white civilians of Houston, Texas, with the police, had gouged them on to forget that they were soldiers, and commit murder. Protests poured into Washington, and President Wilson and Secretary Baker, it is said, announced that they had no previous knowledge of the conviction and hanging. The President directed, however, that no further executions take place until he could view the evidence. Among the many protests sent in against the hanging of the five men were those from the New York and Washington branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Baltimore, and organizations in various parts of the country. WHITES HONOR NEIGHBOR SOLDIER Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 20—Edward T. Ware, of Atlanta University, tells of an unusual honor paid the memory of Lieut. Carter N. Brown, the first member of the university to die in the service. By orders of Captain Bankley of Fort Morgan, a platoon of infantry (white) acted as an escort for Lieutenant Brown from the Franklin Street Baptist Church to the National Cemetery. Probably this was the first time in the history of the country that a platoon of white Southern soldiers performed this office of honor of a dead comrade of the colored race. WRITES LETER FROM FRANCE Somewhere in France, Feb. 5—Company A, 301, Stewardore Regiment, American Expeditionary Force, now over here, wishes, through Corporal W. E. Winbush, to express its appreciation of the blindness of the American people in sending them candies, cigars, tobacco and cigarettes, which have been regularly issued to the boys "over here." Company A also wishes to be remembered to the people of Baltimore in particular, for quite a few of them are from that city. SOLDIERS MUST RETURN TO CAMP ON TIME OR HAVE PRIVILEGE REVOKED Scott Speaks to Hampton Students Tells How Colored Boys Are Responding to Training at U. S. Cantonments. Hampton, Va., Feb. 25—Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to Secretary of War Erikker, who has visited ten of the army camps and has made a close study of the colored troops in training for service, "over there," said in his recent address at Hampton Institute: "Eighty-three thousand or more colored men are in the camps, under the guidance of black men and under the guidance of white men as well. "We can see, little by little, how they are responding, just us the boys respond at Hampton to the semi-military training that they receive, how their shoulders are going back, and how they are learning that hardest of all lessons—the lesson of obedience, in these camps they are taught an ancientuthism and more over joyousness almost. I might say, to serve their country. "At least it can be said of us that there is not the slightest suspicion whatever us to whether there are any hyphenates among us. DEEPENING PATRIOTISM. "It has been true everywhere that there has mounted, higher and higher, a patriotism in the breasts of white men and a patriotism as well in the breasts of colored men." "Colored mothers and colored fathers have sent their sons off, feeling, as the woman felt to whom Lincoln wrote, that they were not making a sacrifice at all, but rather that they were embracing a rare privilege of serving their country. "Black men everywhere are loyal and patriotic and eager to serve their country. They are asking but one thing of their country—that a square deal and square play be vouchsafed." SECRETARY BAKER'S SUPPORT "There sits in the War Department a man, small of stature though he be, of large and commanding intellect and with a courage surpassing the courage of almost any man I know, who was not afraid to undertake the experiment of a training camp for colored men and was not afraid to call colored men to arms. "I think I can speak advisedly when I say that this man is determined that a man who is willing to lay his life on the altar of his country is worthy of being promised and having vouchedsaft to him the same promise and the same reward that is vouchedsaft to every other man that is willing to lay down his life for his country. I know that is the spirit of the War Department and I know that that is the spirit of the President of the United States. DEMOCRACY FOR ALL MEN. "In a very real sense we are citizens of this Republic. No one can make me feel, as we go out in this great international conflict to make the world safe for democracy and democracy, safe for the world, that within the triumphant folds of democracy, when it has been incarned for Soviet Russia, Britain, and England, and even for the men of Germany, there are not also to be included the men of America—the black no less than the white." New York, Feb. 28—One of the surprises to the opposition was the presence of Mrs. Howard Gould, former wife of the multi-millionaire of that name, at a meeting at Mother Zion Church this week in the interest of the candidacy of Rev. Rr. Reverdy C. Kansson, who is running for Congress on an independent ticket. Mrs. Gould, who was stunningly attired and unattended, declared that the colored women of the North who have the right to vote must band together for the colored women of the South and warned them against being misled by white politicians. "We call people blacks and whites now, but some day we will call them all United States Americans," she said in concluding her address.

ASKS HELP OF CLERGY Ministers Urged to Take Up Matter With Members of Unless soldiers on leave return to camp on time, all pass privileges may be suspended entirely. This is the substance of a letter sent to the various preachers' meetings in the city by Colonel W. P. Jackson of the 368th Infantry, stationed it Camp Mead. Colonel Jackson urges that mines and newspapers point out to families of the drafted men the importance of punctuity and obedience to orders, and also advises against sending false telegrams to the soldiers, telling of sickness and death. The letter is as follows: "Families of men who, in any manner, encourage a soldier on pass, to over-stay his time, thereby influence him to commit a military crime for which he must necessarily be punished when he rejoins his company. Absence without leave in any time, is serious offense, and especially so in time of war; and when this Regiment reaches France the punishment, for absence without leave must necessarily be severe.—in fact under certain conditions of service it is punishable with death. We are very anxious to train our men in right habits, and certainly in the habit of obedience to our punctuality and soldierly qualities generally. A pass to be absent for the purpose of visiting relatives is a privilege and not a right. It is not something that a soldier can demand. In fact, a pass is a reward to be given to soldiers who are making an effort to improve themselves and to learn the principles of their profession. It follows that when a man fails to regain with the time limited, he shows that he does not appreciate the privilege that has been given and it must be仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁仁 "There is another thing, which is a limited extent, the families of old men are doing, which must be repiped. That is the practice of sending telegrams to members of this Regiment notifying them of the death or serious illness of members of the family, and restoring the soldier to come home at once. In many of these cases investigation has shown that the statements in the telegram were false. "I believe that if the ministers in the various churches will call attention of their congregations to the wrong that is being done in influencing men to over-stay their leaves and in sending false telegrams to the men of absentees in this Regiment, and especially, will it save the men themselves the punishment which will surely follow their of fense. "It would be doing the men a great personal service if the ministers would lay matters before their congregations and thus help us to eliminate this evil. I am sure the ministers will assist me in this effort, and that they will exert all their power with their church members to induce them to see that enlisted men return from pass on time, and that men connected with their membership are not sent false telegrams. If this practice continues, it may result in the failure of a small to get home when something serious happens. The innocent will have to suffer for the faults of the guilty. And if men continue to overstay their leaves, all pass, privileges may be suspended entirely." HOPKINS STOPS SEGREGA TION IN DELAWARE CO.

They were in charge of Major W. H. Carpenter. Headed by the regimental band, about 400 men left the W. E. & A. cars at Pratt and Eutau street, where the parade was formed. As they marched through the downtown streets, bankers, business men and clerks all vied in paying tribute to the sturdy draftees who march of through the snow with the steed and regular tread of regulars, when the band struck up a tuneful air just as it rounded into Droff Hill avenue, past the Afro-American office, the populace went wild. Up Drub Hill avenue they went, giving folks the first opportunity of them in march.

MEMORIALS HILLIARD—In sad but loving reembrace of my dear husband and our devoted father, Thomas J., who entered into rest four years ago, February 26th, 1914.

In his early life he gave promise of ability and was given opportunity for a limited education, when he improved. A constant reader, which enabled him to converse intelligently and instructively upon daily topics. Those who are acquainted with his life knew his entire love for everyone, an affectionate husband, a loving son, loyal brother and maker. He leaves a wife to mourn her loss, a mother, two sisters, three brothers, nieces and nephews. His illness was brief, being confined to his bed for one week. During his short stay in Elmian, N. X., he made many friends, who showed him great respect. The body was accompanied by Rev. C. E. Cuff, of Elmian, pastor of Monumental Baptist Church; and Mr. Fossett, a devoted friend.

Various groups in the several parish penetrating differences. Forces of the Gold Coast, who have back are fundamentally different upper Congo, who are cowardly of German East Africa, although they stand on the same intellectual are efficient as merchants and tales and stories can be heard, coloring and imagination are not the famous Arabian tales of a day. On the other hand the fairy scarily worth listening to. Face to the place of woman the options of the continent. In England is desirable in marriage, a large number of her own children and in West and East Africa approach those of American out Africa: to all Negroes the beautiful, and secondly, all women. The modern feminist of Africa. Mormanism in Africa is present time and flourishes christian. Ends the people of Africa do not more than the people of Europe there, and withal very human One of the mistakes that is made frequently by writers and speakers is the taking for granted that the millions of black people in Africa constitute a single homogeneous group dominated by the same mental and moral ideals. The contrary is true and the various groups in the several parts of the continent show very penetrating differences. For instance, the nightly Negroes of the Gold Coast, who have a passion for games on horseback are fundamentally different from the Negroes of the Upper Congo, who are cowardly and afraid of their shadow. The Massais of German East Africa, altho they are capableiders, do not stand on the same intellectual level with theeros, who are efficient as merchants and traders. In thean fairy tales and stories can be heard, which in theirrid rich coloring and imagination are not to be distinford from the famous Arabian tales of a "Thousand andOne Nights." On the other hand the fairy stories of SouthAfrica are hardly worth listening to. With reference to the place of woman the customs vary in the several sections of the continent. In English Benin, for example, that maiden is desirable in marriage, who can bring a husband a large number of her own children with her, nearby Kamerun and in West and East Africa the marriageals of Negroes approach those of Americans. Two ideas common throutout Africa: to all Negroes the stoutest woman the most beautiful, and secondly, all work except hunting upon the women. The modern feminist movement has yet struck Africa. Mormonism in Africa is rarer than to be at the present time and flourishes chiefly under the medan religion. other words the people of Africa do not constitute a single group any more than the people of Europe. They are just folks over there, and withal very human and very interesting folks. LABOR IMPORTATION to meet the labor shortage 50,000 men are to be imported in Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands, recently purchased in Denmark. This announcement from the Department of labor indicates that the original proposal to import 500,000 Japanese laborers has been laid on the table for the present at st. The shortage in laborers is acute and the Department and itself facing the dilemma of choosing between imported black and imported yellow laborers. The latter would cost probably lead to international complications. Black would cost less but increase our existing race problem.

If this city as well an epidemic of illegitimate birth and late upon means to prevent th Accepting the word of a Washington social worker well qualified to speak from her personal knowledge, one of the capital's largest hospitals has between 25 and 30 patients in the maternity ward most of them under 25 years of age and the victims of soldiers from the nearby cantonments. Their prizes of false promises and desertion are apparently a necessary chapter in the history of the great war. The statement of the social worker emphasises again the fact that the greatest problem that the war brings is not religious but moral. The dangers that faced the Russian women, he made up the famous Battalion of Death, and attempted to right with armies of men, and the moral laxity that prevails on both sides of no man's land in Europe, wherever there are age numbers of troops, is apparent and real near army canments in this country. If this city as well as Washington is to avoid an epidemic of illegitimate births, it will need work early and late upon means to prevent this social evil. NEW YORK'S EXAMPLE of a national representative for act in Harlem, New York City is program. New York has recently manifestation of a progressive cio to the migration northward, in conscience of the people. It is not a regular one but a special money. Women are going to vote influence is counted on to reach the best indication of New York in the fact that last fall a col legislature and a colored coun hall that the election was prot colored representative to Congr and its first rewards from the males have got an example that election of a national representative for the 21st Con- ssional District in Harlem, New York City is the main item next week's program. New York has recently come into the light by its manifestation of a progressive civic spirit that, directly is due to the migration northward, but directly to awakened conscience of the people. The election is not a regular one but a special election to fill existing vacancy. Women are going to vote for the first and their influence is counted on to reach every voter in district. The best indication of New York's awakened rest lies in the fact that last fall a colored man was the state legislature and a colored councilman lost by city so small that the election was protested. Should send its colored representative to Congress, New York reagain its first rewards from the migration move- and it will also have set an example that will not be lost er centers of large colored population. THE WHY OF THE HOUSTON "UPRISING" THE AFRO-AMERICAN. This "Negroes Keep Out" bottom of the larger one, not that, but as if it needed speci This "Negroes Keep Out" is a smaller sign tacked on the bottom of the larger one, not so much as if it were an afterthot, but as if it needed special and emphatic mention. KEEPING THEM "JOLLY" One of the men, who has says the mental side is harder plains what he means: "Thinking about the war men to go all to pieces just on your nerves if you let it. at everything.

When this law was under disc are those who plainly state and if it ever reached the Su clared. Those who favored whether it was unconstitution many years to come, for the last tribunal. The Negro tribunal, and segregation is no Maryland but in every State cation that no further steps gratuitous. One of the men, who has just returned from the trenches says the mental side is harder than the physical and thus explains what he means:— "Thinking about the war drives men crazy. I've known men to go all to pieces just sitting around thinking. It gets on your nerves if you let it. The only thing to do is to laugh at everything. Keep jolly. Make fun of it all. You hear about the Tommies songs and jokes, well, they would go crazy if they did not have them. They make a joke of everything." The efforts put forth by the War Department to establish regimental singing in the cantonments, might lead someone to suspect that more emphasis is being laid on singing than on fighting. What it is really doing, is making the attempt to keep men jolly and to stop them from sitting around thinking. The South has witnessed its first Protest Parade. Two thousand marched last week in Nashville to protest against the mob methods which are becoming more and more frequent in Tennessee. Two thousand is a very small percentage of Nashville's 36,000 colored population, yet there is reason for thanks that in that big kicked southern city 2,000 persons at least "have not yet bowed the knee unto Baal." "SO READETH AND THUS ENDETH." "There is no use discussing the question further. The Supreme Court made its decision and apparently the Court of Appeals felt that the latter body had said all that could be said," is the latest statement of City Solicitor Fields. And so "readeth and thus endeth" a ten year controversy on the part of certain city individuals in reference to the right of colored people to ive where they can afford to live, and not to confine themselves to congested and unsanitary living conditions. When this law was under discussion in the City Council, there were those who plainly stated that it was unconstitutional, and if it ever reached the Supreme Court it would be so declared. Those who favored the law said it mattered little whether it was unconstitutional or no, it would be a law for many years to come, for the Negroes would never take it to the last tribunal. The Negroes did take it to the last and final tribunal, and segregation is now dead for all time, not only in Maryland but in every State in the Union. Mr. Fields' indication that no further steps would be taken is perfectly gratuitous. PRESIDENT WILSON ACTS.

The great h sentence in the cases of the thie have been hanged and the lar gave no opportunity to appeal action in the present case is allowed in the case of the thirte It is gratifying to know that President Wilson has granted an indefinite respite to the five soldiers of the 24th Infantry sentenced to be hanged by Court Martial for participation in the Houston riot last August. The President was induced to to grant the respite because of the large number of appeals for clemency made to him by representative men and women and organizations of the race. We have always been of the opinion that if opportunity were given for appeals for clemency to be made to the President before execution of the court's sentence, that such consideration would be given the appeals as has resulted. The great haste in carrying out the court's sentence in the cases of the thirteen men of this regiment who have been hanged and the large number serving prison terms gave no opportunity to appeal for clemency. The President's action in the present case is an assurance that the course followed in the case of the thirteen will not be taken again. CAMP MEADE SUN PARLO CONTRIBUTIONS Dr. A. L.

D., Contributing Editor, WORLD BROTHERHOOD "As we attempt to take our places in the great world struggle, I do not see that we can find anything so sure as a great footsteps as the prin- SOULS ON TRIAL "I was talking to a man—a member of my race—in Richmond the other day—a man prominent in the affairs of his city. This man has a son in the Navy. I said, 'Fine.' Immediately he straightened up and said, 'Well, I don't know. There was a time when I said, Fine, but when I see the things through which my people are passing, I wonder whether or not it is fine." "Then he said, 'I have come to the place that I hate. I have come to the place where I would refuse to worship Almighty God, if I thought he countened the things my people endure." CRUELTY BREEDS HATE Secretary Tobias vividly described the barbarous actions of the East St. Louis mob and then added: "These things are working in the hearts of men and are desiried in some cases to bring about hatred in the hearts of men, but can we afford to hate? "In spite of such provocations as all that I have mentioned, we cannot afford to hate. We cannot afford to hate for the sake of our own souls—and that is the most scornful motive we could act upon for the sake of our own souls we cannot afford to exercise hatred." RAY OF LIGHT Secretary Tobias declared emphatically that he had found a ray of light on the whole situation. It was found in the remarkable document, which had been prepared by John R. Mott and others, calling upon the students of the world to cooperate in the Spirit of Jesus Christ and rebuild the world's civilization on the foundations of loyalty truth, and trust. TREND GODWARD "I am tremendously interested," he said, "in the trend Godward of world thinking today. I am tremendously interested that a man with the entellectual properties of the great English novelist, H. G. Wells, should admit in his last two notable books—"Mr. Brittling Sees It Through" and "God the Invisible King"—not all that we want as Orthodox Christians, to be sure, but clearly evidencing that his thought is going Godward. "When we pick up the popular magazines of the day—the Atlantic Monthly, for example, with the feature number an article on the church; and when we take up Harper's Magazine for this month and see that the feature number is an article by Francis S. Sack, the Work of the World," and a popular magazine like the American where the first article is on Jesus Christ by a popular novelist—it shows that the thought of the world is trending Godward. "There is great hope in this, because it means that men are reverting to the principles of Jesus in order to make them the guiding principles of life; and when that is done all of these things of whom we complain will fade away in that new appreciation, in that new emphasis upon the great principles enunciated by Jesus Christ. BROTHERHOOD A SOLVENT "There is a prophecy of great things for world brotherhood," said Secretary Tobias. "It is in the silence of such wonderful communions as that had at Northfield that the great fires of human interest are kindled rather upon the fields of carnal warfare. "Surely in our colleges this year, as we attempt to get 200,000 students in accept the principles of Jesus and try to make them the guiding principles of life, we are going a long way toward the solution or some of the vexing problems that hold the world in their grasp today." "It seems to me that if Wesley and his little group at Oxford could snake the whole religious world into a new appreciation of and a new emphasis upon righteousness, that 200,000 students—and vastly more before the campaign is over—should be able to bring the world to a new appreciation of human brotherhood, the lack of which is the thing that is causing the world most of its trouble today." The above excerpt from the address of Rev. Channing I. Tubias, Student Secretary Colored News Department of the International Y. M. C. A. Committee, delivered recently at Hampton Institute on "World brotherhood and the War" is both timely and forebice, and presents in a striking manner some truths which need to be emphasized at this time and under present conditions. While it is true that no strange things are happening to us in these days as a race, in this country, so far as the deprivation of our citizen rights and privileges and the inhuman treatment given to those of the race who are suspected to be criminals are concerned, nevertheless the too frequent eruptions happening recently do men's souls, tend to engender hate in some, and breed the spirit of retaliation and revenge in many. Any words spoken that will show our people that they can ill afford to hate, and be revengeful are timely and have their value as a retardant to the fostering of a spirit of revenge or to the encouragement to give loose rein to even righteous indignation and aroused anger. It is true that a ray of light may be found on the whole situation in the call that has been made upon the students of the world for the students of the world to rebuild "The World's Civilization" foundations of loyalty, truth and trust." But more than a ray of light, even a strong and sure ground of hope is to be found in the met that every where and among men of all classes, and creeds the conviction is becoming more firmly established and more openly and emphatically acknowledged and declared that the world's civilization to be lasting and beneficial must be founded among the principles that and for the establishment of such principles and development of such a civilization the spirit of Jesus Christ, must animate men in all their motives and purposes, and be exemplified in all of their life's efforts and endeavors. In spite of the cruelty towards and the inhuman treatment that is accorded to many here in our country, the barbary and flandishness which has followed in the wake of the world conflict, not only in the country's over run and devastated by its scourgings, but elsewhere it is nevertheless true that the treaty is not Godwant, Godwant they are turning to God in never before, and who petition now in never before, and who knows—but that all the trials and sufferings thus which the world of mankind is now passing are according to His purpose—to the end that not in thought only but in actual approach men may be turned God-ward. The spirit of Jesus Christ, the true humanitarian spirit, was never so general manifest as now, and the principles by which His earthly life were actuated are being more and more admitted and adopted for life's direction and guidance. The recognition of the brotherhood of men and the practice of it among men will be the means of helping in removing the things that are wrong and unjust—but we must not forget the recognition of brotherhood—in spirit and practice—until men are led to accept Jesus Christ and His teachings as exemplar and guide. The principles of His gospel—the teachings of His life are the one and only solvent for the world's problems whatever they be. SCHOOLS REOPENED The thousands of children of the city who have been employing an enforced vacation for several weeks due to the shortage of coal resumed their places and studies in the schools on Tuesday. However much the children may have enjoyed the vacation, it is to their benefit and to the pleasure of parents that it is now ended. And it is hoped not only by the school officer but also by the parents, has been instaled in public education that there will be no further interruption for any cause. There is no doubt that the children have sustained a certain loss by the enforced absence from school, and failure to receive the usual guidance and instruction from their teachers. It is not in the nature of children to pursue their studies with the same diligence, application, and earnestness in vacation days. They are days of regular or enforced vacations, as they do in times when the schools are in session, and they are expected and compelled to attend upon the same. It is advisable that *n* plan may be arranged by which some of the loss sustained by the prolonged and enforced recess of the school may be covered. We confident that our school authorities will take into effect some such plan. We are sure that if this is done that they will have the hearty cooperation of all. Of Prayer It is planned that the whole of the month of March be observed as a time of special penitence, prayer and intercession. A call for a nation-wide observance of this special season of prayer has been issued by the General Wartime Commission of the Churches, and it is expected that there will be a general response by the numerous churches in the country for such an observance and celebration during the whole of the month. That there is good reason and even some necessity for such a season of prayer, in these war times when the sacrifices to be made even to that of life itself are so great must be apparent to all. Recognizing God's hand in this awful strife now going on among the nations of the carm, and our own country as deep in the conflict as others, there are not a few things, for which as a nation of Christian people we may make petition and interest of and of Him who dooth all things and for the best. Believing that we live in this world conflict from pure motives, and from a righteous end in view, we may wish to and confidence pray to God for the success of our troops in the war, and for a final victory that will secure the firm establishment of democracy everywhere, and for a peace that shall be world wide and permanent. Just how far the pastors of our churches are giving aid and encouragement to the carrying out of this proposed observances in their churches and among their flocks we do not know—but it is a matter worthy of their attention and consideration, and one in which we think may with propriety and profit to themselves and the people participate. At the drill of the class of colored draftsheets held last Sunday afternoon in the Gymnastium and Rifle Range of Johns Hopkins University on N. Howard street, the members of the class were given their first instruction in use of the rifle by Capt. Wm. G. Peeks and Licut. Wimbish. It was gratifying to witness the interest, and aptness the class showed in the handling of the rifles and in taking in the instruction given. Before the close of the drill all the members present evinced in a satisfactory manner their understanding of the principal parts of the rifle, and their prompt and correct execution of the commands given. Capt. Peeks and his assistants snow proficiency as officers not only their knowledge of army tactics, but in their ability to impart the necessary instruction to the officers, to the officers and to compel the men execute the orders in a commendable spirit and manner. The attendance last Sunday was not as large as was expected and what it should have been unverified is generous control. FRIDAY, MARCH 1st, 1918 the class to the Sun Parlor Fund as the list of contributions printed elsewhere discuses. If the officers felt any disappointment last Sunday, it was not from the lack of interest shown by the class either in the progress of their studies or in the Sun Parlor project, but rather from the small attendance. The captain expressed the hope that the absence of so many have attended the drills that announcement had been made that contributions would be asked at the meeting last Sunday. We cherish the hope that the cause of the absence of so many was other than the Sun Parlor Contributions that were asked for. We think that our boys are too much interested in the warfare of those who will readily entered the service to shirk any duty, and to resort to absence from class drill to evade an opportunity to help so laudable an undertaking. TO TELL OF EXPERIENCES IN WAR-RIDDEN ZONES The Rev. Hugh Birckhead, rector of the Emanuel Protestant Episcopal Church of this city, will speak on Sunday afternoon on his observation at the front, as the representative of the National Red Cross. It is hoped that the church will be filled with our interest and, including address, Last July the Rev. Hugh Birkhead was sent abroad by the National Red Cross in Washington as an inspector, with the idea of speaking for them on his return. He crossed the ocean on a boat and was asked to be a don was asked by the American Ambassador to give a month of his time, under the direction of the Foreign Office, to speaking in England on America. His itinerary was eventually completed by the Archbishop of York, and he addressed audiences in many of the principal cities, using for the most part the pulpits in Cathedral and churches As the guest of the English Government, the British fleet and inspected dock yards, munition plants and ship building industries, beside numberless hospitals and works of charity. He went to Buckingham Palace and was received by the King at the time of the coronation. Retra Crosses and other decorations. In France, under the auspices of the Red Cross, he visited the devastated regions, the front line trenches, and went to see the American soldiers and went to see the German soldiers. He had interviews with Ambassador Sharp, General Perching and Poincaré. He then went to Switzerland to study the national prison problem and talked with many Germans in regard to their point of view, among others, on the German ship. He returned to America on November 6th. AT ODDS OVER ATHLETICS IN HOWARD UNIVERSITY Since the departure of Athletic DirectorMr. H. J. Beekett for the St. Louis High School, athletics at the University have been without the services of any paid coach. The athletic council is now taking up the question of appointing a new director of athletics. Altho it might seem an entirely simple matter of selecting one of several good coaches in the country, yet the problem before the council is more than this. It is a question of settlement of athletic policy. A number of students and alumni feel that the new man should be a first class football and basketball coach and be able to turn out university teams capable of kicking other teams. On the other hand there is an equally strong group of students and alumni, which believes that intercollegiate athletics ought to be abandoned at least entailed, and greater efforts made to develop thrush athletics every student in college. This second group is only led by Prof. Thos. M. Turner, chairman of the athletics council, and former teacher in Baltimore High School, Prof. Turner says: "The outcome of our athletic experiences here at Howard is been about the same as that of most other colleges in the country, namely, the producing of a maximum number of rosters and a minimum of participation of players in college athletics is to make an student an athlete according to his capabilities, the mistake of pursuing such course can readily be seen by any one. It is a rather sad commentary that of the men recently called to the colors from 31% to 50% were rejected as being physically unit for service; the college athlete however, the man who has been fortunate enough to get on some team, comes off with a very much better rating. This indicates value of college athletics and furnished the strongest argument why it should be made to spread over the entire student body." Bearing upon this point, Secretary Baker of the War Department, said some time ago after visiting one of the officers reserve camps where practically every man had engaged in college athletics; "I was amazed at the case with which these men adapted themselves to military life. In a few days they acted like seasonal soldiers. They adapted themselves to discipline automatically, where it would have taken the raw soldier a long time; the kind of team play which had been engrained in these men by college athletics made this possible." "The aim of our athletic sports then, is to work out and establish a system here which will reach every student, man and woman. The plans of the Athletic Council are being shaped to this end." Carrying out Prof. Turner's plan, not the few students would get benefit of athletic contests but all students. This is a new note in the athletic world. Interclass and inter-departmental would come to take the place of the present Intercollegiate contests. Collegiate contests would cease being spectacular, physical, social and productive of gameplay but the gain in physical development to the whole students body would be well worth the sacrifice. ..The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association HOME OFFICE, DURHAM, N.

Hampton Claims Championship The basketball season of the colored schools of the East ended by Hampton Institute defeating the strong Lincoln University team on Washington's birthday. Hampton defeated Lincoln by a score of 34 to 24 and won the Eastern Championship. POPULAR SPORT The season just closing has been a very interesting one. The great indoor game has become more popular this season than ever before. This is especially true in the U. S. Army, where it has furnished entertainment for thousands of soldiers, and where some very good teams have been developed. The Hampton machine is much lighter than ever before, but is also much faster. The members of the team, under the coaching of Charles H. Williams and the leadership of Sept. Ellijah McLaren, feel proud of their accomplishments. CLOSE SCORING A large audience gathered in the good gymnasium on Washington's birthday to see the clash between the "Game and Blue" and the "Blue and White." In the first half of the game it was bad to tell which was the better team, for the score was tied several times before the whistle blew and the half half ended with the score 12 to 1 in Hampton's favor. LINCOLN GIVES WAY Hampton's team work in the second half was too much for the Lincolnbites, the final score was 24 to 34 in Hampton's favor. McLaren, Gunnoc, and Wright play an exceptionally good game for Hampton, while Capt. Butler was the ser of the "Orange and Blue" machine. The refereeing of E. E. Henderson was also exceptionally good. The line up follows: Hapton 34 Lincoln 24 Philips. R. F. Butler (Capt.) Maren (Capt.) L. F. Henderson Paton C. Sessons Ghoc R. G. Cruse Wight L. G.

As every housekeeper or knows the inevitable rag-bag is a happy-hunting ground for moths and there is no better time than now to get rid of them, so why not get your bug down and see what can be done with the contents. First of all sort your rags putting silk and light wool together, cotton fabrics of the heavy sort, such as outing channel and serges, and cloth of different colors to themselves, calices, percals, and muslins and batiste together, and ginghams of all grades to themselves. When this is done and each package you have for work, among the many things that can be done with a heap of rags, I think the most fascinating is knitting pillow tops, or porters or rugs. Cut pieces of silk and ribbons in half inch sheets and roll in a ball. These strips also make lovely bags. Crochet in any bit or miss pattern or in rows of bit or miss patterns (as the case may be). Bags if made up in oriental designs make very artistic looking bags. From pieces of fine thread you can crochet lovely looking muffins that are very warm and useful. The best of the serges and cloth and cotton goods can be made into nice warm comforts for children's beds or made into crazy or cabin quilts for throws for the couch or dwarvenes; what is left can be made into crochet or plaited rugs for the bedroom or kitchen. Strips that are too small plaited rugs can be made into booked rugs. Use the beaded rugs for the decor of the old black stockings that are and fit for anything else for the filling; they are excellent for this purpose as they hold their color better than any other kind of black that you can use. The scraps that are too small or too old for any other use can be used for filling for couch pillows or porch pillows; cut into very small pieces they are as good as cotton if not better as it does not get lumpy. The calico and peral and gingham pieces make excellent patch quilts. Do not sell the rag man the contents of your rag-bag but use them yourself and you will be more than proud of your work. I have rugs and quilts and cushions and comforts from the contents of my rag-bag and I never have anything to sell the rag man as I can use the rugs myself, and everyone who sees my work admires it. The most exclusive furniture stores are having rugs, pillows, porters and cushion tops made from rugs and selling them at almost exhilarant prices so why not make your own? FOR YOUR SCRAP BOOK When making apple sauce from any of the various apple sauce cake recipes, a soggy cake will be avoided if the apples are cooked in a double boiler without any water. The apples should be cooked with a piece of white paper, if for pastry, the paper should become a light brown; if for bread, it should become dark yellow; if for sponge cake or light desserts, the paper should turn a light yellow. RED CROSS NOTES The Colored Red Cross Branch anticipates holding a series of meetings in the interest of the work in the near future. The hospital supply department has recently received contributions of personal property bags, material for racking beds, material for nursing bed socks and tops of hospital shipers. If you have no time to knit or sew why not make a contribution of material to the Training Class, here the Red Cross workers will be glad to complete the articles. The Manicure M. Bruce Neighborhood Class of Catsonsville reported as a demonstration six scars and two pains of wounds. Some children from School 165 sent in two pairs of kahk wrist-ticks. Miss Persis K. Miller, of the Sparrows Point public school visited the Training Class last week and expressed herself as being delighted with the work being done by the school, ported by voluntary contributions; secondly, because of the wide range in the ages of persons represented. Some of those being trained are not more than 10 years old while others are 16 or 18 years, some adults and others elderly ladies. The smaller children are taught in the schools, while the adults will help in churches and auxiliaries. Miss Miller thought a machine for knitting socks would add to the efficiency of the class. As a pair of socks can be knit in an automatic machine, we hope soon to have one as our own equipment, and socks are needed more than any other article. The ladies of the C. Y. W. C. A. have offered the Training, Class the use of a sewing machine. The Color-printing machine accepts the use of the same us it will add much to the quality and quantity of work we will be able to do. A CORRECTION—Miss .Annie Jazelton Lee was not present at the Hall, and Mr. Geo. B. Murphy kindly consented to direct the singing of If the bath room is too chilly for baby's bath, place his tub upon the tea wagon, and give him his bath where it is warm. Save all your paper bags, they are excellent covers for dishes that you wish to keep the dust out of. Slip the dish into the bag, this is better than placing a piece of paper over it as it can not blow off. If the shoe polish has dried up, a few drops of turpentine will restore its moisture. To clean copper or brass, dip a cut lemon into fine salt and rub over the article. When cutting circles of paper to fit your cake this leave little tabs projecting, and when the batter is poured in the tabs will be upheld upright and will serve as handles to lift the cake out, and save you from having a broken cake when removing it from the pan. Be sure to butter or grease the handles well to prevent burning. Are you troubled with ants in your house? A sure remedy is to be found in a sponge. A large sponge of coarse perforations is the best. Sift a little powdered sugar over it, working it into the holes, and lay it in a spot the ants most frequent. Do a little patient and the ants will swarm over it by the hundreds and you can throw it in a pan of boiling water. To keep butter, put your butter in a dish and place it in another one with water and a little salt. Then place another cover over it, and it will keep quite fresh and firm in hot weather. To remove the scraping of cake batter from the bowl an ordinary calling card is better than a spoon. To prevent your gas stove from rusting, as it does if care is not taken, rub the entire inside of the stove with a fanned saturated with sweet oil. A FEW SPRING HINTS Overskirts are again in evidence; some are full gathered, or are slightly draped in the back, or just a trifle on each hip. Lace will enjoy a wider vogue than formerly. The general use of it on frocks designed for southern wear is notable. Manufacturers are hoping it will hold over till the summer styles are introduced. There are many charging ways of using it at present. Skirts are made with the three knee counters, a office of effect, and long lace sleeves. Wide bands of it edge tunics on voile dresses, and it is used for side draps for sleeves and collars on dresses of chiffon and silk crepe. Heavy lace trim linen frocks. Flesh and pink silk crepe, also many tones of biege and tan, will be popular as over. Georgette and fine lace will be used for fine underskirts. It can be ruffled with lace and gathered and still your skirt will have that dinging effect. Butterfly drapes ripple from the waist line, marring toward the skirt hem. Very narrow box plats make the tunic panel slightly different in appearance from numberless other styles of panels shown. Four flying panels appear frequently sometimes bound with braid, on smart frocks. Braid will be very popular trimming on spring suits. Silk poplin suits and coats much braided and buttoned are selling for early spring wear. CLASS GRADUATES. On last Friday evening, February 22 at the Beauty Parlors of Mine, M. A.

Boeros and Etons are being displayed extensively, especially in silk WAR FLOUR Now-a-days whenever flour is mentioned it means war flour. If you do not use less flour as the Government has asked you to do, they will take things into their own hands and demand that the millers mix the flour before it leaves the mills and put on the market. They do not want to do this so are asking you to use less wheat flour by buying it from five-pound pack of flour only lasted you two weeks or one week, (according to the size of your family) make it last you three weeks now by using plenty of corn meal and rye flour.

Dept. L1443 G.O. Box, New York 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 tones. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seebly'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 shedding of long hair. It is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an 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 Quinasoup. Quinasoup is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoup fathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fuzzy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoup, 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 139th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper. -Advt. Read THE EX-RAY OF LIFE the book which reveals the secret of success.

For others who do not know the truth and are suffering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of flesh. Our own physician Dr. Campbell said I had tuberculosis. I was sent to the John Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Bayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as anywhere else, went down until I weighed 150 pounds.

He examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Base Treatment, better immediately. Thank God am living, and on November 17, 1917, I weighed and tip the scale at 148 lbs.
