YOUNG'S FUTU HANDS OF WAR Emmet Scott So Informs Secretary of National Negro Press Asso- ciation. DECISION WILL SATISFY ALL COL. YOUNG'S FUTURE IN HANDS OF WAR SECRETARY Washington Conference "Hoover VOL. XXVI. No. 25. Though on the Retired List Colonel Young Has Never Had a Day's Illness Nashville, Tenn., March 2.—The executive committee of the National Negro Press Association, at its recent meeting here, directed Henry Allen Dayd, to write Secretary of War Euler regarding Cubet disposition would be made of Col. Charles Young, who is, according to report, neither active nor resented, Mr. Earnold J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, has sent the following reply thereto to Mr. Dayd: "Your letter of some days ago, addressed to the Secretary of War, making inquiry regarding the status of Colonel Charles Young, has been referred to me for acknowledgment and reply. "All that you have said has had the best attention of Secretary Baker, he now has the matter under adjournment and I am sure that a decision fair and just to all concerned will be reached at the Secretary's earliest convenience." Colonel Young, who was graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1883, was retired last summer, following a report by an army medical ex-saluting board that he was suffering from high blood pressure. As Colonel Young is said to have never been ill a day, the United States was engaged Sessions in Washington Next Week Will Last Only Three Days. Washington, March 6.—T.S. fifty-fifth annual session of the Washington M. E. Conference will be held at Mt. Zion M. E. Church, 29th street, near O. next Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The shortness of the session is due to the idea of Bishop W. F. McDowell, who will preside, that all unnecessary expenses should be avoided during the war. Rev. D. D. Turpean will be the entertaining pastor. The conference program will be a Overheated one in every way, the time being so short. One of the hardest tasks will be that of the conference stewards, who will take in and distribute a few thousand dollars in record-breaking time. Candidates for ministerial orders will be examined on Thursday of next week. Bishop McDowell will probably meet the district superintendents on that day to determine the appointments. Much interest is being manifested in the assignments, as Bishop McDowell announced last year that he would judge every man solely upon his record. There is one sure change in Baltimore city, as Rev. Alfred Young, pastor of Eastern M. E. Church, will ask to be superannuated. Note that Revs. M. J. Nay, Lyon, C. E. Hodges, A. J. McHale, R. W. S. Thomas, J. A. Hoble, and S. A. Virgil will be returned to their respective Baltimore charities. During the six years Dr. Taylor has been pastor of Sharp Street Memorial Church, Baltimore, he has succeeded in materially reducing the church debt. Under his pastorate, the congregation is desirous of wiping out the debt during the coming year. The other pastors mentioned are regarded as having been successful in their respective charges. RUMORS OF CHANGES There are rumors of changes, however, among the district superintendents, two being said to be slated for pastoral work. This, if true, will cause some shifting around. There are also rumors of changes at Annapolis, Cumberland and Wheeling. A number of changes are ceptin to be made in small charges. Rev. A. M. Moore, who was stationed at Sykesville, Md., was the only member of the conference to die within the past year. Among the prominent personages expected are: Dr. I. Garland Penn, secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society; Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, secretary COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG, UNITED STATES ARMY (RETIRED). in a big war and Colonel Young had always been regarded as a fine soldier, the opinion was expressed in some quarters that his long services should be availed of Colonel Young has reached the highest rank ever attained by a colored man in the army. The Vigilance Committee of the Press Association urged colored people in all parts of the country to write Secretary Baker urging that Colonel Young be actively used in the army, especially during the war. in charge of colored work for the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension; Rev. W. W. Lucas, field secretary of the Epworth League; Dr. E. F. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate and Dr. J. W. B. Bowen, vice president of Gannon Theatrical Seminary, Atlanta. Hampton, Va., March 6.—War is making inroads on the Hampton Institute staff and student body. Hampton has "boned" Charles H. Williams, physical director for boys since 1910, to the Phillips Stokes Foundation and the Churches of Christ in America for the remainder of the school year. Mr. Williams will begin at once to make a careful study of recreational activities, and in around the 16 army cantonments, as they affect colored troops. He will also study religious and social conditions. He is a graduate of Hampton Institute and the Y. Training School at Springfield, Mass. The intercollegiate sports in which Hampton has been scheduled to take part are all over. The inter-class athletic events will be carried on, according to general plans already made, under the direction of Major Allen W. Washington, Hampton's Commandant of Cadets. HOWARD TO GO IN FOR FARMING Washington. March 7.—At the semi-annual meeting of the board of trustees of Howard University voted to establish collegiate courses in agriculture, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. This action places the courses in agriculture on the same scholastic basis and standing as the other degree courses in the University. It has been felt that Howard University, with her well equipped laboratories of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, can help greatly in meeting the increasing demand for scientific agriculturists, better prepared farm demonstrators and experts in rural education, as well as give an opportunity to those who may wish to prepare for the different lines of work in the Federal Service, such as plant inspectors, plant pathologists, horticulturists, etc. Some of the main features of the new courses will be agricultural botany, agricultural chemistry, animal husbandry, horticulture, dairying, poultry husbandry, rural sociology and allied subjects. A convocation for Christian pastors and workers will be held under the auspices of the School of Theology of Howard University March 20 to 22, inclusive. The general topic/will be "Effective Christianity in the Present World Crisis." Republicans Of Georgia Scent Danger White Leaders After Loaves And Fishes---Johnson And Davis Planning To Assume Control. Atlanta, Ga., March 7.—Certain leading colored Republicans have "seen the light" and are kicking against the white leadership which they helped to thrust upon the State of Georgia in 1908. According to the last issue of the Atlanta Independent, a factor in bringing about white leadership, Republican votes in the State have dwindled since then. THE INDEPENDENT WAILS The Republican party in Georgia must meet for the purpose of selecting party machinery to promote Republican principles and party harmony. "The Independent, in common with the majority of the party of both races, has contended for a white leader, for a white man rather than a party leader. As a result of white leadership, the party has disintegrated. It has grown beautifully less under white leadership year by year. The white man has sought selfish aggrandizement. Official position within the party and public office has been the one aim and achievement of our white leaders. A TRIBUTE TO PLEDGER "The white man has argued that the party could not rebuild; that it could not get white recruits, which was eminently necessary. If the Negro did not relegate himself and submit to white leadership. Under the imputed W. A. Fledger, the last Negro leader we had, the party had anywhere from sixty to seventy-five thousand votes; but submitting to the "white man's propaganda" that, if he were put in charge, Republican sentiment would not only grow, but tangible results in the shape of elective offices and helpful, constructive Republican organization would be built up in the State. But no such result has accrued. On the other hand, the party has lessened, and under white leadership, has divided into two opposing factions, one led by the white State chairman and one by the white National Committeeman. SERVES NOTICE ON WHITES The Independent then warns: "If a white man does not love Republican principles enough to follow black leadership, when a black leadership is the ablest exponent, then let him go into the Democratic party, which is strictly a white man's party, where he may give voice and growth to his prejudice." The Independent points out that a Republican State Convention must be held soon to effect an organization. It argues that a strong state committee be selected, as the United States Supreme Court has knocked out disfranchisement. Following the death of William A. Pledger, Henry A. Rucker, collector of Internal Revenue: Judson W. Lyons, national committeeman, and the late John H. Deveaux, Collector of Port at Savannah, were three of the big four who went to Republican National Conventions. Benjamin J. Davis, editor of the Independent, was then an implacable foe of Rucker and Judson Lyons. He was nided by Henry Lincoln Johnson, Davis and Johnson succeeded in outing Judson Lyons as National Committeeman in 1908, Henry Blun, a Savannah Jew, being selected to succeed him. President Toft appointed Henry S. Jackson, q white Aslanta, as collector of Internal Revenue, to succeed Henry A. Rucker, who held the office for twelve years. Henry Lincoln Johnson went to Washington to succeed John C. Dancy as Recorder of Deeds. Charging that Bleun was tainted with "lily-witishism," Davis, Johnson and their friends, Collector Jackson was named as National Committeeman in 1912. Henry Lincoln Johnson has been the race Republican leader since 1908, and at the recent meeting of the Republican National Committee in St. Louis, held H. S. Jackson's proxy.

To Organize for Law and Order Recent Horrible Lynching in Tennessee Arouse Leading White Citizens of Nashville Nashville, Teen., March 5—At a recent meeting of prominent white professional and business men held at the Central Y. M. C. A. the Law and Order League was formed. It will aid in combatting lynchings and the mob spirit. The lynchings that have occurred within the past year in Tennessee, especially the recent horrible one of a colored man at, Estell Springs, are said to have aroused some of the foremost whites of the city. Telegrams of protest have come to Gov. Tom C. Rye from all parts of the country. Only two weeks ago, Hona C. Rye, a parade of 2,000 colored persons, held a protest before the governor. The specific purposes of the new organization are outlined, as follows: "The objects of the league shall be to bring about a campaign of education and by all other lawful means, the development of a sound public sentiment that will lead to the prompt and certain enforcement of existing laws for the prevention and punishment of crime. "To aid in the preparation and enactment of whatever new laws may be necessary for securing early and effective punishment of crime and the maintenance of law and order. "To create and arouse a more active public sentiment in the young and old in favor of enforcement of law and to combat the evils of laxnessness. "To cultivate a spirit of higher respect for the majesty of the law, for the officers by whom and the agencies by which it is administered and to uphold the officers of the law in the performance of their duties. "To hold public meetings, prepare and distribute literature, provide lectures, and to urge the pulpit, press and schools to stress the necessity for the suppression of crime and the maintenance of law and order, at the end that mob violence and at least the more serious crimes shall be condemned by public sentiment and certainly punished by the established processes of the law. "The activities of this league shall be absolutely non-political—except in the direct advancement of the objects of its organization." Charlottesville, Va., March 7.—The spectacle of students of the University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson and conserver of ideals of the white south, teaching colored people here is being witnessed three nights a week. The work is being done under the auspices of the extension department of the Y. M. C. A., and classes are held in a downtown church. A force of students, under the direction of Auburn Harwood, of Lynchburg, Va., is the teacher. Instruction in the "three R's" is offered, as well as in conversational French, elementary English composition, business arithmetic and stenography. The French is for the boys who expect to be called to the colors. The pupils are of various ages, some being over 40 years of age. Instruction is free, but pupils have to supply their own books. Some of the students have even furnished their pupils books. President's Respite Brings Joy President's Respite Brings Joy Boston, Mass., March 7—The news that President Wilson had granted an indefinite respite to the five colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry sentenced by court martial to be hanged for participation in the Houston riot was a source of relief, pleasure and pride to the colored people of Greater Boston, and especially to the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League, which organization issued a protest against the execution of the 13 soldiers sentenced in the first court martial and in December last urged the colored race to hold in Memorial Silent Protest Parades and to have funeral services for the men in their churches. The league also was perhaps the first colored body to telegraph the President on December 27th to show clemency to these five soldiers now respited. Tonight the league held an informal meeting of gratulations at its headquarters, and urged that protests against severe punishment of those "Houston Rioters" be kept up. Segregation Rampant in Departments Decision of Supreme Court in Regard to Segregation Has No Effect in Bureau of Printing. Though the United States is in a world war and urging all to be an in patriotic support of the government and despite the fact that the United States Supreme Court has invalidated segregation laws, segregation of colored employees is said to be still present in some of the departments in Washington. Discriminations are said to have increased since a man from Oklahoma took charge of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. The following letter from a colored woman employee describes vividly some of the alleged discriminations which colored people in that department have undergone. "I am a government employee, and have been for quite a little while, and finding conditions worse than terrible, if such an expression can be used. I thought it would interest you to know a few things that the colored employees have to endure. "Regardless of the decisions rendered by Chief Justice White and Judge Rose, of the United States Court, that segregation is unconstitutional, the many indignities heaped upon the colored employees in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing are gradually growing worse. Many of the plate printers have absolutely refused to work with the colored girls, and it is rumored that the director of the above named building has given the printers his word that he would refuse them of their "burdens," if they would only work with the colored girls, while, and we have reasons to believe that this is true, for since the new district has taken charge four colored girls we have appointed, and these were a fair that one cannot tell to which race they belong (you know we have flowers of all "colors" among us) and it is really amusing when these girls are sent to the different divisions to work, and the chief does not know whether they are white or colored, and finds it difficult to place them. "The other day a very fair girl was sent into our room to work for the day. Of course the colored employees knew the girl was colored, but the lady in charge did not know what to do or to which table to send the girl to work, and finally tried to find out what her nationality was by asking some of the colored employees if they knew the girl. Each one she asked gave a negative answer. She then turned and looked at each of the tables, then at the girl, not being able to decide whether the girl was white or colored, sent her to another room and then frankly acknowledged that she did not know, where to place her, and hoped that the girl would not be sent back to her again. "Many colored girls are being furledged every day, and some being dismissed for more trifles, white girls are being employed without even taking the civil service examination. The dressing rooms for colored girls look like pens, one corner of the large dressing room for white girls being petitioned off for the colored girls, without a window and so crowded that some girls have to stand while changing their shoes, and some have to wait until others get out of the way. "The work, without a doubt, is done by the colored employees. Alyf job that two or three girls do, the same amount of work will be given to one colored girl, which is a light injustice, and only one in a great white a colored girl will have backbone a colored girl will fight for what is due her; and when in such a nerve, pine out of every ten times she wins out. There is lots more I could tell you, but time will not permit me now." New Realty Section Opened New York, March 2—Colored tenants are to take possession of the row of five-story fats at 2057 to 2071 Madison avenue, taking in the entire block front on the east side of the avenue between 130th and 133rd streets, as a result of a lease of the property by Roger Foster to a client of J.

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON TRAINING OF NEGRO SOLDIERS Dean Pickens Gives Views After A Visit to Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va. None of the Colored Men Have Been Admitted to Training School For Officers Though Some Are College Men I am an American citizen. My opinion is that I am patriotic. And what is more than my opinion, is the opinion of a considerable number of other people, white and colored, that I am patriotic. Of one thing I am sure: that I wish the best things for my own native land, and wish to see foremost among the nations of the earth. In that spirit I make the following observations: for he who reads may be able to help. A blind confidence, falsely held, will do no good. "The truth shall make you free." taken out $10,000. And yet the economic risk of the colored man is greater. Here is where an interested colored captain would serve. When part from somewhere to instruct them he would order his men out to hear. Now, thirdly. Even at Camp Made. Mid, there are a few colored boys in the officers' school. But Camp Sea, sea, and waters in the school. With characteristic Southern sarcomas somebody picked the two best drilled companies of colored boys and sent them over as "bell-hops." at the I have no quarrel with the name of Camp Lee; for Robert F. Lee, whose memory it honors, was one of the best men that ever espoused a bad cause. And I care little for the sectional or color prejudices; the right sort of white man can lead the colored men, as well as the right sort of colored man; and the right sort of white man from North Carolina is better than the wrong sort of white man from Massachusetts I do know that it requires SOME extra care to get the right sort of white man from North Carolina. I met several of the right sort of white officers at Camp Lee. Two of them were on the platform with me, as a thousand Negro soldiers sat there before us, clothed in silk and cotton, like in the collection of bronze gods some vanished civilization. The white man at the left was a first lieutenant from the North, and the one at the right was a captain from North Carolina. These two men were equally noble, and are equally fit to lead those colored men. And both of them with few others, are doing and will do their best to counteract the evil influences and remedy the short-comings which I shall mention; 1. In the first place, Camp Lee is in Petersburg, Va., one of the worst towns in the United States, so far as the colored man is concerned. 2. There are no colored commissioned officers as Camp Lee. There are, however, there, at some some college boys, have been admitted to the training school for officers. 4. The Y. M. C. A. service and accommodation for the colored troops is very good, but very inadequate. At Petersburg, was fought one of the battles of the Civil War. Grant exploded a mine there and created a variable volcano, whose center is still to be seen. He was trying to destroy two forts, known to this day as Fort Hell and Fort Damnation. But although Petersburg may have been completely everted, it was never converted. It did not want colored soldiers at this cantonment at all. But the admirable head of the war department said they must either have colored soldiers or no cantonment. And the way in which it loves its colored soldiers is shown by the fact that the black man in knikki who met me, tried for half an hour to get some jitney or taxi driver to take us out to the camp, with the result that we had finally to walk to the electric line.—Not being able to keep out Negro soldiers, Petersburg next demanded that there should be no colored officers of rank. Of course the United States of America refused to sign any treaty with Petersburg. But today there is at any rate no Negro commissioned officer at Camp Lee. And this brings us to the second and perhaps the greatest misfortune to the colored men. Not because the colored officer has pigment in his skin but because Southern conditions enable him to enter more fully into the lives of his men, is he the better officer for colored soldiers,—especially from the rank of captain downward. This is especially true in a community like Pittsburgh. In Massachusetts or Ohio it would make much less difference whether such officer were white or black. But if any proof were needed that in general the best officer for colored troops is the colored officer, Camp Lee supplies that proof. The opportunities for an officer to build up the soldierly qualities of his men are not confined to shouting commands at them on the drill ground and ordering them to the guardhouse. Consider, for example, the interned men who the memoirs and the personal interests of the men. An interested officer can see that his men attend the lectures and other instruction offered by the various auxiliary agencies. It is his preoperative to order them there. He can also give dignity and stimulus to their social events, athletic games and amusements. And more than anybody else on earth he has the chance to affect their personal interests. Take this for example: the government allows each man to take out on his life the maximum insurance of $10,000. In one white company at Camp Lee every man has taken out this maximum; and in another white company every man except one has taken out the $10,000, and this one man has at least $5,000. This is not true in any of the colored companies. Not a single colored soldier in the whole secr. thousand of them has VATIONS ON OF NEGRO SOLDIERS Views After A Visit to Camp Va. None of the Colored In Admitted to Training Officers Though Some College Men taken out $10,000. And yet the economic risk of the colored man is greater. Here is where an interested colored captain would serve. When the Y, M, C, A, brought an insurance expert from somewhere to instruct them he would order his men out. Give it at, Camp Made, MD, there are a few colored boys in the officers' school. But at Camp Lee, the Negro boys are only servants and waiters in the school. With characteristic Southern sarcasm somebody picked the two best drilled companies of colored boys and sent them over as "bell-hops" to the officer's school, where they then took him on five miles, from the rest of the colored soldiers, and isolated them. You will understand their misfortune even better when I speak of the Y, M, C, A. work. I am interested in these boys' course. But I am also interested in the welfare of my country, and I know that these things will help me to out of its most loyal constituency some of the best contributions which it can render the service. Some of the petty officers have all taken advantage of the drafted color troops and sun out of its most loyal constituency some of the best contributions which it can render the service. Some of the petty officers have all taken advantage of the drafted color troops and sun out of its most loyal constituency some of the best contributions which it can render the service. The "service battalion" is simply the drudgery section of the engineers' corps—the men who do the rough work for the engineers. The enlisted man has the right to choose his police officer, because they knew that they had the right to choose many colored draftees were ordered into service battalion,—and of course they obey orders. The ex-President Taft visited Camel Lee the best sentiment of the times when he said that the black man is the "equal" of the white man in this war, and the boy—does his duty and serves his country he should have equal rights and pride in his life. Our Government has administrators to conserve our cost, our food and other materials. "I think we should also have an officer empowered to 'dietary measures to conserve our resources to goodwill, of loyalty to nutrition." And now as to the Y. M. C. A. These big-minded patriots who are contributing time and money to this work should take note, for they more than any others can have influence in this work than fifty thousand soldiers at Camp Lee and that 7,000 of these are colored. But in addition to many other situations maintained for white men, the Knights of Columbus and others have built of the Y. M. C. A. The full significance of this will not be gotten unless you hold in mind the fact that a Negro soldier at Camp Lee can get absolutely no sort or service from the Y. M. C. A. buildings for the whites, the storage camp or the water. Those who serve of colored boys who are serving as watters at the school for officers, they are five miles from the building for colored men, cannot get from the Y. M. C. A. nearest them a piece of paper on which they wrote. They advised the staff at the colored building to endeavor to get permission to send daily a messenger to them with supplies. A soldier's duties are, so exacting that he can seldom go five miles from his post. On the other hand, three or four hundred white men are sent to the camp with a little nearer the colored Y. M. C. A. quarters to any white quarters are willing accorded every service and courtesy of the colored building. And we hope the colored staff will economy seek to that principle. Moreover, the I. I. C. A. is the philosopher of municipal instruction; for games, athletics, social gatherings, lectures, moving pictures and other pictures illustrative of military instruction. On George Washington's birthday the colored men enforced to have their indoor athletics this one crowded building, pitched a space like sardines tin, leaving a middle for boxing, potato race. Some of the boys climbed the cedar and sat perched like tree-dwell the roof-supports. They crowd platform, jammed the door, peeled thru the windows. It was comfortable and impossible for them to see, so that the philosopher ordered and order to carry out the program. The next day I visited Camp Stuart at Newport News, where there are Negro commissioned officers from captains down, including, Captain Spencer of Maryland, and Captain Pryor of nearby, where the men are in service battalion, as stevenger, with no colored officers, I heard the battalions are more embarrassing than at Camp Lee: A white officer in charge of Negro troops, who neglects his opportunity to give them the best he has, perma does not realize that he is doing uttermost to demonstrate for all to come that the best officer for Negro troops is the Negro officer. "The what law I know no doubt that black soldiers are being officer by black men, will prove themseasier superior. I slept with the boys, I talked with the boys, I sympathized with them. They wanted to, send me to, some body's, house. I would not. They wanted me to accept sheets with them. I loved my cousins, I liked them. I love my cousins. .

MORSELL— In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, Benjamin Morsell, who departed this life one year ago today, March 7, 1917. Gone but not forgotten His memory is as dear today As in the hour he passed away. I did my best God only knew To save his life I could not do. In silence you suffered in patience you hore Till God called you home to suffer no more. Sleep on dear father You have crossed the brace Trusting in your heavenly pilot escaping all storms And is anchored in the sweet haven of rest. When the evening shades are falling And we sitting all alone In our hearts there comes a longing If you only could come home. By his children PITTS—in sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Sarah E. Pitts, who departed this life seven years ago, March 7, 1918. It is sweet to know we will meet again Where parting is no more; And that the one we loved so dearly Has only gone before. A happy home we once enjoyed How sweet the memory still; But death has left a lonesomeness The world can never fill. Fondly loved and sadly missed Our nearest and dearest—our mother, our guide. We missed you ever since You departed our side. Our way would be happy, and friends would be true. If only life-path would be guarded by But all to God's calling and releasing of pain The time shall be happy when we all meet again. By her loving daughters.

Some prominent people have been barbers. John Philip Sousa was a barber. Sir Richard Arkwright rose from a barber to wealth and fame. Belzone, the great savant, was a barber. Many other instances might be cited of barbers who have become a great. Jeremy Taylor, the immortal Anglican and author, was the son of a barber and himself followed the profession for quite a time. A great many able preachers were barbers and I think the profession has a very creditable origin. Just like other professions, one must be adapted to it to be successful. Lord St. Leonard, Chancellor of England and Ireland, and Turner, the celebrated painter, were also barbers. In England, not until 1540 did the two professions become separated. They formerly practiced dentistry. In fact you will find them in all branches of industry. B. K. Bruce, Register of the Treasury of the United States was a barber.

GRAND EVANGELISTIC CAND RALLY at Evergreen A.M.E. Church Carroll, Md. Sunday, March 10, 19 All evangelists are invited to work with us. Mrs. Grace Mason, Director, Bay W. HELPING THE YELLOW PEOPLE TO DOMINATE THE WORLD "When will the war end?" the question was asked of a young German professor aboard a thru train just beginning to blacken speed as it approached the German city of Cologne on the Rhine. The young professor looked out of the window at the freshly dug trenches and newly erected fortifications of the big city then 120 miles away from the fighting front. Even at such a distance anti-aircraft guns were in place and the city prepared for defense. "When will the war end? When the European nations have fought each other to exhaustion and to a standstill," came the German's prophecy and he still kept his eyes on the fortifications on both sides of the road. "Then will come world domination by the yellow races." --That was in September, 1914. In England last week two prominent statesmen, Mr. Arthur Henderson and Lord Landsdowne, both argued before their nation that President Wilson's four fundamental principles of negotiation are a sufficient basis for a preliminary conference, that Germany's acceptance of them classified the diplomatic situation and indicated a probable road to peace. Mr. Henderson went further and said that a military decision in favor of Germany did not seem probable and, that, on the other hand, a war waged to a victory by exhaustion would be a disaster of the first magnitude to all mankind. He advocated a peace own the combined forces of labor and socialism. A little closer to home and a bit clearer is the word of an american white clergyman spoken from his pulpit. Said he The white man in Europe is nearly exhausted. A little more fighting, such as has been going on in the past four years will put the white man in a position of helplessness against a forcible enemy. A few years of such fighting will even put erica, with all of its vast resources, also in a helpless position." "It looks now as if this is to be practically a white man's ar. So far other races have not suffered much; perhaps they will not be drawn into the conflict to such an extent as to chasten their vast resources." Once the white races are exhausted by war, what would happen if the yellow races in Russia, Japan and China should outrush them with the idea of conquest and world domination? what would happen to the exhausted white man?" asks the clergyman and then answers the question himself by saying, he would surely fall a prey to the ambitions of the yellow or sick man." One clergyman not only puts the problem in unvarnished language, but he suggests the remedy that ought to be applied. his words, the safety of the white peoples lies in two things. "First the Allies must hurry up and win the war, and see to it that permanent peace is made before the Caucasian race is shot all to pieces." "Secondly, the white man must Christianize the other races quickly and as effectually as possible. Herein lies his only hope and safety." The one thing that seems to be common to the point of view of the German, Englishman, and American mentioned above is that each recognizes the fact that this civil war, so to speak, among the white races is going to make them less able to dominate the darker races. The longer they fight, and the more they exhaust their resources, the more easily will they fall victims to the rising yellow races in Asia. It is therefore in the interest of both Germany and her enemies to conclude peace before they have "shot themselves to pieces." Quite as interesting is the second point of our white clergyman, that the white man plans his hope of continued world domination in the Christian religion. "The only thing that can make the white man's future a success is Christianity. We must Christianize the other nations and do it soon," is a strikete statement in our clergyman's sermon. By holding before the ideal of humility and pacificism it is that that the 2000 races may be kept from making war. to the probable success of Christianity preventing furth- ers, history affords two enlightening examples. In spite of istianity, Rome was overrun and conquered by bar- Germans, and Constantinople by the Mohammedans. present day comparatively few Chinese, Japanese. and Africans have been converted to the Christian religion. THE RIGHT THING TO DO man's view of the large amounts of money now being collected. A serious public purposes in seems to us that in order to confide in it, that it would be the proper thing to let the public just what amounts have been collected and how these trusts have been applied. The public confidence must be put by all means and the only way to keep it is to let the pub know the money they have contributed has been spent in right direction. Those who have charge of these collections this as much to themselves as to the public, and this latter should by no means be overlooked or neglected, for it only means a great deal to future efforts along other lines, means that the public will either lose or have confidence those who are responsible for the collections and disbursements. Public confidence must by all means be maintained for the present and future good. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, OUR PART IN THE In the adjustment of things given must of necessity arise some day of fact friction is an absolute necessity, without it scarcely anything just of races, both in this, naturally, going to be a consequence things get down to a solid to move along together in perfect conditions in this country be far from pleasant in many instances. This is a fact well known. Under present conditions, when and drafting both white and there," and when every man, we "do his bit," it goes almost with contributes in any way to the that in most respects that he is other one who is doing the same that as he is in the war to do his of every other private, whether same is true of commissioned. The colored officer expects the his white officer of equal courtesy and obedience to those and he expects the same from ranks, not necessarily inferior in Of course it would be Utopian things are going to settle them that in the settlement of them there will be, largely because of the line. That the race was rough side of it, we have not largely up to us, who have for harrow, and who have so much fellow, to see to it that we creaible. We must not be too easy insults, but at all times and pliant of the fact that the time when we will be taken for our over. We have very much to find it necessary many times a teeth in order to hold ourselves other things are to be learned by going to learn them and we are that without any loss of manhood.

Indeed, both in this country and in the many instances, especially affect well known to all both conditions, when the Government on white and colored men for every man, woman and children almost without saying, that way to the success of the effects that he is the equal of doing the same. The color war to do his best, he is naïve, whether he be black commissioned and non-commissioned or expects the same courteous of equal rank, and will rejoice to those who are the same from those who are fairly inferior in other directions. Should be Utopian for us to expect to settle themselves right development of them there will be, largely because of condition, the race will, in many inns, we have not the slightest who have for so long a time have so much more to gain that we creat as little of this not be too eager to resent in times and places act the surs that the time will come and taken for our worth, man for every much to gain by this man many times to shut our eyes hold ourselves in, but this be learned before we reach them and we are going to read loss of manhood on our par. THE DEED WITH THE JUDGE of this country squaring our feet they just using high-sounding the crowd? Do the order are they only camoflagging which runs something like the nine ocean eye and then you the brother." Napolis the Maryland Legislae the charter of Morgan College has purchased a pro-white people do not want has been situated in a white ten thirty years, and in all the trade against it. It is surrouners, and there has never been its location o rits carrying. For some time it made not of ground where is might lent lot was purchased after fielded to sentiment against forced for self-protection, to sort to build. This it has done Court has decided against held in their purpose there, nature to have a law passed the ground it has purchased friends will not let their price, at least until after the war station? Either stop agitation as great advocates of work well together in double-faced, Janus-like, or we as or we are not. Which a In the adjustment of things generally and particularly there must of necessity arise some degree of friction. As a matter of fact friction is an absolute necessity in moving things generally, without it scarcely anything moves. In the present adjustment of races, both in this country and elsewhere, there is, naturally, going to be a considerable amount of friction before things get down to a solid foundation where all are going to move along together in perfect harmony. to move along together in the country between the two races have been far from pleasant in many instances, especially in the southern states. This is a fact well known to all both white and black. Under present conditions, when the Government is enlisting and drafting both white and colored men for service "over there," and when every man, woman and child is expected to "do his bit," it goes almost without saying, that every one who contributes in any way to the success of the war, must feel that in most respects that he is the equal of each and every other one who is doing the same. The colored private feels that as he is in the war to do his best, he is naturally the equal of every other private, whether he be black or white. The same is true of commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The colored officer expects the same courteous treatment from his white officer of equal rank, and will render the proper courtesy and obedience to those who are his superiors in rank, and he expects the same from those who are his inferiors in ranks, not necessarily inferior in other directions. Of course it would be Utopian for us to expect that all these things are going to settle themselves right down at once and that in the settlement of them there will be no friction. Friction there will be, largely because of conditions on both sides of the line. That the race will, in many instances, get the rough side of it, we have not the slightest doubt; but it is largely up to us, who have for so long a time been under the harrow, and who have so much more to gain than the other fellow, to see to it that we creat as little of this friction as possible. We must not be too eager to resent insults or fancied insults, but at all times and places act the superior man, confident of the fact that the time will come and that very soon, when we will be taken for our worth, man for man, the world over. We have very much to gain by this means. We will find it necessary many times to shut our eyes and grit our teeth in order to hold ourselves in, but this as well as many other things areto be learned before we reach the top. We are going to learn them and we are going to reach the top, and that without any loss of manhood on our part. SQUARE THE DEED WITH THE WORD. Are the people of this country squaring their action with their words, or are they just using high-sounding phrases for the purpose of catching the crowd? Do they believe what they are saying or are they only camoflaging? There is a Scriptual adage which runs something like this: "First cast the beam out of thine own eye and then you can sed the moat in the eve of thine brother." Down at Annapolis the Maryland Legislature has before it a bill to revoke the charter of Morgan College, simply because Morgan College has purchased a piece of ground where some few white people do not want them to operate. Morgan College has been situated in a white section of this city for more than thirty years, and in all that time no complaint has been made against it. It is surrounded on all sides by white neighbors, and there has never been a word uttered in public against its location o rits carrying on its work in that neighborhood. For some time it made repeated efforts to purchase a plot of ground where is might build and expand. The present lot was purchased after the trustees had time and again yielded to sentiment against its location, until finelly it was forced for self-protection, to purchase ground and make an effort to build. This it has done, and now, after the Supreme Court has decided against segregation., and the opposers failed in their purpose there, they must needs go to the Legislature to have a law passed to prohibit the college occupying the ground it has purchased. It is too bad our white friends will not let their prejudices lie dormant for a while, at least until after the war is over. Why keep up this agitation? Either stop agitating against the race or stop posing as great advocates of world democracy. The two do not work well together in double harness. We are either double-faced, Janus-like, or we are not. We are either hypocrites or we are not. Which are we? Prominent Educator Buried Washington, March 7—The funeral of Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans, who died suddenly at his home, 1910 Vermont avenue, on Thursday evening of last week, was held at St. Luke's P. E. Church Sunday afternoon. Dr. Evans was widely known as an educator, having been principal of the Mott School and head of the Armstrong Manual Training School, filling the latter position from 1900 to 1912. He was dismissed from the Board of Education, and following a legal fight, was indeed restored. He was never the old position, however. At the time of his death he was employed in the War Department. Dr. Evans was a native of Oberlin, O. He received his education there, and studied medicine at Howard University. A widow and two children survive. LAST BIG MEETING AT REGENA The Y. M. C.

S. > Virgil Pastor 11 a. m., "Our Stewardship and its Benefits." 8 p. m., Closing Confer- ence sermon. Annual visit of Allen A. M. E. and Gillis M. P. Churches. All members are asked to report. Monday, March 11, Conference of Peace. Twenty nations represented WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS Rev. Hugh Birkhead, rector of Emmanuel P. E. Church, this city, is a most instructive, helpful and inspiring address to a large audience at Bethel A. M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Dr. Birkhead went, abroad last summer, as a representative of the National Red Cross. In his address he told of his observations at the front, his visit to the British fleet, and inspection of dock: yards, munition plants, ship building industries, numberless hospitals and works of charity, and of his visit to the devastated regions and the front line trenches. He told of his interviews with Ambassador Sharp, General Pershing and Poincaré of his study in Switzerland of the National prison problem and of his talks with many Germans in regard to their point of view. He impressed the audience that from what he had learned Germany had a well outlined course which would be followed in case she won out in the struggle "over there," in which case America would not escape the effort to exact from this government the utmost ground in with which to reimburse the central powers for all they maneuvered in the conduct of the war. He thrilled the audience with the details of German outraged committed against unproved women and helpless children, warned against cherishing any hope of escape from the like treatment of our woken and children in Germany were successful. The effect of the address doubtless fired all those who heard it with the renewed determination to do everything possible to defeat Germany in her efforts, to bring to nought her aims and purposes, to overthrow all her plans and to crush out forever her ambition for world supremacy and dominance. We are war times surely—and they demand—war times efforts and sacrifices. We can ill afford to hesitate, least of all to stop in the doing and giving up all things that may be required of us. It is a real joy to know that the Druid Hill Avenue Branch of the YM C. C.; was successful, in its recent membership campaign, in securing renewals of membership which had expired and new ones to make the present membership of the Branch, men and boys now nearly twelve hundred. This was the result of the splendid work done by Secretary S. S. Booker and his efficient corps of workers, and it brings the membership of the Branch up numerically somewhat nearer the place it should stand among the other branches of the country. We have said before that our city by reason of its large population, the need our men and boys have for the things the "Y" offers and gives. And the great value and importance of such an institution to our community should be at the very top and front in Branch membership and work. We are fortunate in having as the secretary of the Branch such a well trained, experienced, untriting, consecrated Christian gentleman as Mr. S. S. Booker. He came to Baltimore after having been educated in one of our best institutions for higher education, with special training for Y M. C. a work, and with some years of practical experience in Association work, having served as general secretary in another city and most acceptably and successfully as educational secretary of the Senate Avenue Branch in Indianapolis, Ind., where he was most highly esteemed and greatly beloved by all with whom he came in contact. Mr. Booker has training and culture which bring dignity and poise, and at the same time that affability and urbansity of disposition and manner, that makes him easily approachable, and one whose acquaintance and friendship we are pleased to cultivate and possess. He has the happy faculty of reaching men and boys, has something to impart to them when reached and knows how to get out of CAMP MEADE SUN PARLOR CONTRIBUTIONS Dr. A. L.

With a membership now to which we may point with some sense of gratification, with a man like Secretary Booker directing the artist of the Brancock, we now on be up to the work of gathering in what remains of the unpaid pledges for our new $100,000 building in course of erection. In another column will be found a letter from Washington, D.C. containing certain statements which, if true, reveal conditions, n at least one of the government departments that deserve the strongest condemnation. It is charged that segregation discrimination and injustices are practiced against colored employees. The attention of the heads of the departments where these practices are said to take place, should be called to them and they asked to put an end to the same at once. If these conditions are changed by an end being put to all such segregation, discrimination and injustice, it is apparent that not only will they continue among the employees in the government service, but be extended. It is claimed that racial discrimination is especially marked in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The government certainly cannot afford to give anything, but a square deal to all its employees now, when it is calling upon all its citizens, not only for pledges of loyalty in all cases and places, but for ordences in practical help and services. Information comes from Washington. D. C. that seventy thousand colored troops will be called within a short time. This will finish the first draft call for all of the States. These seventy thousand colored men are principally from Southern States, and have not been called earlier because the camps for them had not been selected. Another reason given for the delay in calling these men into the service, it is said, has been because the War Department which has about settled that camps where these men will be trained will be in Northern States, deemed it best not to bring them from the warm Southern climate until the weather in the North moderates. There is in our judgment good reason for training these colored troops in Northern Cantonments. There is no question that location has something to do with the training of men. Any man is under better conditions to receive training or preparation for any service whose environment is wholesome—helpful, and inspiring. To us it is no longer a question whether the South is as good a section in which to train the colored soldier, where he is not respected either as a man or soldier, and where the government on a colored man is not held in proper regard, as in teh North, where usually men are regarded as men, and the estimate placed upon them is somewhat in accordance with their service and worth. Some not very commendable actions in the treatment of colored troops in cantonments located in the South have been brought to our attention only recently, and we hull with pleasure the announcement that comes from Washington as recent March 4, 1918 that the War Department has about settled that all the camps in which, these seventy thousand and colored men soon to be called are to be fitted for service by preliminary training are to be located in Northern States. No man can or will make a good soldier who is not so treated both in his training for and after that he must be trained, but never be seen in the fullest sense a man and an immortal, with all the privileges of man accorded him, as well as the discharge of a man's duties and performance of a man's work required of him. To make the most of men and to get the best out of them in any service and for any cause you must treat them as men. The following reported by Miss Ida R.

News Notes From Camp Meade Captain Herbert Avery, who has seen many years of service in the regular army, has been very successful in making Company "E" the crack company of the 555 Infantry. He has shown his fatherly interest in the boys in many ways. The boys think there is no man better fitted to lend them heroes "no man's hand" than Captain Avery, and his staff of widely known officers. 1st Sergent Noble J. Benchum—is planning a trip to Philadelphia, where he will greet his many friends. The first sergeant with the advice of the company commander has been very boys since his arrival in Camp, in getting the boys in shape. The first sergeant is well thought of his comrades, and his company is very much indebted to him for the success of our Philadelphia boys. Among the many other things that the first sergeant has done for the boys is the forming of an all-star baseball team, for which he hopes to have fully uniformed and equipped in the near future. The first sergeant is also planning to have an entertainment some Saturday afternoon to which all the ladies will be invited to attend. The mess sergeant promises to furnish an excellent menu for the affair and when the first sergeant, supply sergeant, and the mess sergeant get their heads together there is generally something forthcoming. It is the first sergeant's earnest desire to have a piano placed in quarries for the amusement of the boys, he has received quite a number of complements from very reliable sources such as willingness to help him in the efforts to make Camp life more enjoyable for the men, but he is not nearly satisfied with the number he has attended to receive more anxious to receive more addresses of more people who are willing to work to make the boys or this company as happy as could be expected in camp before going "Over the top or somewhere in no man's land." You can find him working early and late in the Company office, studying military tactics or something for the welfare of the boys. Sergeant Marcus A. Bernard, has charge of supplying the men with required property for the equipment of the company. He is, without doubt, among the best men in the regiment and is very well adapted to the position along with the wide experience and patience. Corporal James E. Saunders, a prominent Philadelphia man, holds the position of company clerk, has shown superiority over all other men in his regiment in this line of work. He is the busy man of the hour and is pounding the keys of his typewriter at an amazing speed. He is very popular with the boys especially when the time comes to sign the pay roll, and then Corporal Saunders is very much in demand. George Washington King was born of Princess Annie, Md., Somerset county, August 15, 1861 and fell in love in Jesus in Atlantic City, N.J. after a short illness Tuesday morning 11.26, February 26, 1918. He was united in holy wedlock to Miss Margaret Boven in Philadelphia, Pm., 25 years ago. His funeral was largely attended last Friday at the New Asbury M. E. Church with Dr. A. L. Martin officiating, assisted by Dr. Langford, Rees, Morris and Hebron. Soles were rendered by Mr. Wm. Daurolid. Rees Hebron and Rev. Morris. There was an applidid dhilture of flowers tendered. He leaves to mourn their loss, a devoted wife, two daughters, three sons, three brothers, three sisters, Cecil McDride, Bessie Nichols, Mary Smith, Messrs. Dennis King, William King, Anthony King, One son-in-law, two daughters-in-law and a host of relatives and friends. His last words were: "I am ready and waiting to cross the River of Jordan. My eyes are fixed on Heaven. The way looks clear and beautiful." His last hymns were: "Heaven is Mine," "Jesus Knows all about our Struggle," and "In That City." Gone but not forgotten We shall meet thee again beyond the river. Interment at Pleasantville Cemetery. CARD OF THANKS. I wish to thank my beloved pastor, Rev. W. Sampson Brook, Rev. Sunday, Rev.
