M. E. Church, Linden avenue and Biddle street, last Sunday evening. Rev. S. M. Johnson is pastor of the church. Mr. Harry T. Pratt, president of the association, stated that the aim of the meeting, and of the whole series of meetings, was to enlighten the public concerning certain vital problems connected with the colored public schools, and to enlist the cooperation of patrons, parents and the public generally in their solution. Mr. Pratt then introduced Mr. William H. Lee, principal of School No. 192, as the presiding officer of the meeting. we prayed for opportunities. If we don't take advantage of them now we have them, we are worse than slaves. I say "Amen" to everything these gentlemen have said." A very enjoyable part of the program was the beautiful singing of a chorus of colored trained students directed by one of their own number. Calls Conference on Segregation Mayor Prestor Calls Colored Mr. Lee presented briefly some of the specific problems the general public can help to improve, and then formally introduced Prof. Joseph H. Lockerman, principal of the Colored Training School, to make the main address. Prof. Lockerman gave a scholarly and comprehensive address, impressing upon the audience the need of preparedness in education in order to meet the needs of a life growing daily more and more complex. He deplored the fact that only fifty per cent of colored children had returned to school after the enforced holiday, and urged upon parents and friends the necessity of sending children to school regularly and punctually. Mr. H. Grafton Browne, principal of School No. 105, backed up Mr. Lockerman's statements with statistics showing in a very practical and illuminating way the gravity of the situation confronting teachers, parents, and that part of the public interested in public education. A fitting climax at the close of the Principal's Association program was the introduction of Captain Queen, U.S. A., formerly a Corporal in the Tenth Cavalry, who gave a graphic and gripping account of the fight of the rizal, Queen was in the closest part of the light, and is one of the few survivors. His whole talk served to re-emphasize the value importance and training in overcoming difficulties, as well as the absolute necessity of discipline and brain-power for thinking quickly and accurately in a crisis. If the attention and interest aroused at this meeting may be taken as an index, the Principals' Association did a wise and helpful thing in inaugurating the series. Many people have been impressed and made more thoughtful and anxious to help improve the situation. One gray-haired parent said, "I am certainly glad to have been tonight. I know better how to urge my own children, and shall spread the gospel everywhere I go." Another said, "Our young people simply must be trained for the future in character and intelligence. Moss-back indifference and jelly-fish sluggishness must give way to writing with a purpose,—with strap-oil and a booth hook if necessary. I'm for German efficiency in this matter." And a third, "Every colored boy and girl of school age must be in school. Parents who neglect their duty, in this matter in these times should be court-martialed and killed. I'm an old. G. A. R. man and I believe in military obedience and duty. In slavers members of Company F, 368th Infantry, at Camp Meade, Captain J. W. Jones, Commanding we prayed for opportunities.

A very enjoyable part of the program was the beautiful singing of a chorus of colored trained students directed by one of their own number. Calls Conference on Segregation Mayor Prestor Calls Colored and White Men Together for "Gentleman's Agreement" on Segregation The colored residents of Baltimore were started to learn through Friday morning's Son that Mayor Presson held a conference at the City Hall Thursday, at which a plan was broached to circumvent the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court abrogating segregation laws. The Mayor called into consultation Miles White, Jr., former Judge Alfred S. Niles, Dr. William T. Howard, assistant Commissioner of Health; W. E. Ferguson, president of the Real Estate Board Exchange and A. D. McGomas, all white; James W. Hughes, the caterer; William H. Langley, wholesale produce dealer; Dr. H. E. Young, druggist; C. C. Fitzgerald, attorney, and Prof. Carrington L. Davis, vice principal of the Colored High School. At the outset of the meeting it was stated that is purpose was to provide a way acceptable to both races whereby the annulled segregation law of Baltimore could be kept in effect as to operation. The colored men present strongly protested against agreeing to any plan that would put the old segregation law into virtual effect, either by moral suasion, or the application of "education" for both races or otherwise. The white were told that there had only been a constant of friction since the Superintendent abrogated segregation laws. When was some boys broke down in the dwelling at 1002 Age, avenue, which had been bought and occupied by a colored family. The contention that colored people deprecated property when they moved into a neighborhood was combated by the presentation of figures from Druid Hill avenue property and that on contiguous streets. Mr. Ferguson, of the Real Estate Exchange, agreed that property values of these streets had enhanced. The right of the colored people to purchase and reside in property anywhere was urged and the dropping of the agitation advised as a means of keeping down unnecessary prejudices. It was suggested that the daily newspapers be requested that the daily newspapers be requested not to publish when a colored man moved into a "white" block. The whites protested their interest in the betterment of conditions among the colored people. Prominent Speakers Appeal For Funds to Provide For Widows and Orphans. That the colored people of the United States must aid financially the dependents of soldiers of their race either killed or injured in fighting for world democracy was urged at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Wednesday night, where a largely attended meeting was held under the auspices of the National Colored Soldier's Comfort Committee. The speakers were Judge Robert H. Terrel, Bishop I. N. Ross and Armand W. Scott grand exalted ruler of the Ellis, all of Washington. Ralph Tytler formed the National Soldier's Comfort Committee and a leading spirit in the big movement to raise money for the wives and children of soldiers, presided. Following the invocation by Rev. William H. Weavey and the singing of "My Country 'Tis of Thee," Mr. Tyler told of the object of the National Soldier's Comfort Committee. He declared that the loyalty of the Negro is unquestioned, and that the supreme duty of those at home now is to see that the families of the soldiers do not suffer. He told of appeals that had come to the committee for aid and mentioned a number of cities as having responded generously to the call for help for the families of those who had enlisted or been drafted to help their country wage a world war. JUDGE TERRELL SPEAKS Judge Terrell recounted the part that the Negro had played in twelve various wars of the country and asserted that the Negro race had never made a deeper impression on this country than now. The Negro by being loyal to his country and doing his best to aid his crisis would have some stumbling blocks removed, though not all. It was a paramount duty to aid the dependents of colored soldiers, he declared. Armond W. Scott said that the colored people are differently circumsulated than the whites, in that they do not earn as much money, and that made it all the more important why the race should support the dependents of colored soldiers. He said that despicable prejudicial conditions, the race had always been intensely patriotic and expressed belief that the Negro, would find conditions for him somewhat more inviting after the war. Bishop Ross made an eloquent appeal for the dependents, declaring that the colored soldiers were not only fighting to make Europe and the islands of the sea safe for democracy, but also that the same conditions may obtain in Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and elsewhere, in the United States. Everybody in the church gave a contribution, and when P. W. Thompson, the Washington newspaper correspondent, and John T. Howe, of the same city, finished counting, nearly $50 had been secured. Benediction was overed by Rev. Dr. W. Sampion Brooks, pastor of Rother Church. Washington, March 21.—The report that Lieut. Napoleon E. Marshall, of the Fifteenth New York Regiment, had died in France, is denied here. His wife, Mrs. Harriett, Gibbs Marshall, who lives here, was besieged with telegrams seeking confirmation of the rumor. No news had reached him until the day he is killed. Lieut. Marshall is a graduate of the Harvard Law School. CHANGES FEW AT M.E. CONFERENCE Washington, March 21.—The Washington M. E. Conference concluded its fifty-fifth annual session in record-breaking time Sunday night, having only been in session since Friday. When Bishop W. F. McDowell, who presided, arose in Mt. Zion M. E. Church to announce the appointments, the edifice was crowded. He said that to save ministers the unnecessary expense of moving in these war times, as well as delays in having the railroads transport their goods, only a few changes would be made. Among them were the sending of Rev. C. B. Bishop to Eastern M. E. Church, Baltimore, to take the place of Rev. Alfred Young, superannuated; the placing of Rev. Levi Miller at Sykesville, Md., and the appointment of Rev. W. J. Tyler to Cumberland to succeed Rev. C. W. W. Jenkins, who goes to Lewisburg, W. Va. There were no changes in the district superintendents. OPPOSE UNIFICATION IDEA The conference adopted a resolution Saturday opposing the unification idea. Methodism by the Joint Council of the Northern and Southern wings of the denomination, on the ground that the colored members of the M. E. Church were discriminated against. Rev. C. A.

Choral Society at Camp Meade Choral Society at Camp Meade Colored Troopers Pack Big Auditorium to Hear Talented Artists.1 More than 5000 of Uncle Sam's Sammies, both colored and white, but mostly colored, laminated the big Y. M. C. A. Auditorium at Camp Meade, last Tuesday night, and reared their approval of the excellent entertainment given them by the Cosmopolitan Choral Society under the leadership of Dr. C. T. Stewart. The concert, while given primarily by the Choral Society was interspersed with pleasing renditions by the 55th Field Artillery Band, under the direction of Bandmaster Dacey Rhodes, formerly of the 10th U. S. Cavalry. A special train on the W. B. A. and A. railroad, carrying about 100 members of the company, left Baltimore about six o'clock, reaching camp about seven and met by a Y. M. C. A. escort who piloted them to the big auditorium where the crowd of Sammies awaited their coming with eager expectancy. The concert began with the playing of "My Country 'Tis of Three" by the Land, followed by "The Heavens are Telling," by the Choral Society. Miss Veyela Hughes, of the Washington Conservatory of Music was given a big ovation by the boys as was Baltimore's sweetest singer in the person of Mrs. Annie Hazleton Lee, both of whom gave very excellent solos. In "How Solvation Won" Miss Eliza R. Browne gave a superb exhibition of elocation, so much so that she was recalled to the stage and recited the "Colored Soldier." In the rendition of "The War Vesper" and "Inflammatus" the Choral Society showed superior training and admirable chorus work; both were well received by the large connoisseur. Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna" was probably the "hit" of the evening, for in it the Artillery Band showed that it could interpret overtures, and heavy pieces, as well as ragtime, and one-step, monster orchestra, and the band responded nobly to efforts to render the piece in its best interpretation. Great credit is due Dr. Stewart for his efforts in securing the Society for the entertainment of the boys, especially in as much as the entire expense of the trip was borne by the members of the company. PYTHIANS AT ANNUAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE Sermon Delivered by Rev. W. W. Luces a Scholarly Effort. The annual thanksgiving services of local lodges of Knights of Pythians were held at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon, both the main auditorium and gallery being filled. Grand Chancellor George A. Watty presided. A special sermon was preached to members by Rev. Dr. W. W. Luces, of Mississippi, field agent of the Epworth League of the M. E. Church. The sermon was punctuated with telling wit and apt illustrations. Dr. Lucas, said that from time immemorial man had found that greater strength was obtained through uniting, and that the Pythian fraternity was a shining example of that truth. He sketched the progress that the race had made since emancipation, mentioned the war and asserted that the war had brought the race greater opportunities along all lines. He predicted that still great opportunities would come after the war, and that the race must be ready to meet the new conditions. The services will be repeated at Perkins Square Baptist Church this Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Dr. C. H. Stephanus preaching the ser- SOLDIERS AT THE FRONT CHEERED BY NEW YORK'S FAMOUS BAND Colonel William D. Hayward, Tells How Sammies Appreciate Music Played by Reese Europe's Regimental Band, clares His Regiment is the "Best in France" New York, March 21—City Chamberlin Alfred J. Johnson recently received a letter from Col. William Hayward, commander of the Fifteenth New York Regiment, stating that the nurses, doctors and the regiment "is the best outfit in France of all the armies." He praises the regimental band, which is directed by James Reese Europe. The going of the band was made possible by Daniel G. Reid, the New York band, who gave $10,000 that it could accompany the regiment. The letter from Colonel Hayward follows, in part: "My outfit going good; best outfit in France of all three armies. I care. Hard work, but no kicks that I can write or even think. I go along with keen interest in everything and tremendous enthusiasm to make good. Very good at all they let us undertake. Am thin but well, as a grizzly and as full of peep as any junior subaltern or drummer boy in the bunch. I guess my heart is young and always will be. may say every man striving not to lose a note with a number of patrons about 750 of them. The nurses, doctors and a single one who have been stimulated just hearing those yours play. That the little old U. S. A. was good. "I don't want to see too thick. I not who will think every one who who those boys may, is a better able to help with." Sincerely yours.

Now they are more discomforts. But what heathen we will be when it is all ever! I shall not know how to act in polite society or what to do with the ordinary paraphernalia of civilization, like baths and club chairs. Umbrellas are obsolec. Do they still have them anywhere? Rain means nothing but a little bit, not much, deeper mud. Still nobody has any kick to squeal about, and all hands are so pleased to think they weren't left at home out—of this beautiful party that optimism reigns supreme. Of course, we know absolutely nothing about the war or how it's going except in our own little neck of the woods, and really don't care a d—. "Al, our band is the most wonderful thing over here. I don't believe any money ever bought as much pleasure and happiness for human beings as did Daniel G. Heid's in this instance. "If Mr. Reid could see tired, exhausted men straight up, shift prices a little' higher and step like school kids when they play, or the thin, wan faces lean out of hospital windows to catch every note of melodious chorus of Southern melody or the speaker from Lucka, he would be pleased with his investment. If I've told one officer I've told a thousand of his undercover generosity in the maze, and everybody knows of the band knows how it started. "I enclose a couple of comments on it in which you and he might be interested." "Well, but a note, so will ring off."

"Fifteenth New York (Colored)" GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ON LOOKOUT FOR SPIES Washington, March 19—"There is a spy in this audience" shouted a high school teacher at the meeting of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People last Friday night. It was alleged that two colored men were in the audience who were to report to the Department of Justice, should any strong language be used in condemning racial discriminations, "Any man who would betray the race," said the teacher, "by a. Judas, and should like him, hang himself." Necks were craned in an effort to discover the alleged government "spies." That a close-watch is being kept on colored men and race newspapers has been known for sometime. A prominent New York editor, speaking here some weeks ago, is alleged to have used extra strong language in condemning the treatment of the race in this country. The matter was reported, it is said, and he got a "call down." DePriest and Jackson in Fight to the Death Chicago, March 22.—A hot time is brewing in Second ward Republican politics, and Major Robert R. Jackson, and Oscar DePriest, hitherto old cynes, are at each other's throat, like two bulldogs. DePriest, who was an alderman a year or so, so was indicted for alledged graft in connection with the police. He resigned his seat in the Board of Alderman, and was acquitted when his trial took place Louis B. Anderson was elected to fill the vacant seat in his resignation. There is to be no doubt that on the first Tuesday, and Jackson and DePriest were opposing candidates in the recent primaries. DePriest who run on a sort of vindication platform, was beaten by Jackson. Since then he has filed papers as an independent candidate. As the Democratic candidate refuses to step aside and DePriest has some friends, as well as the fact of the registration of voters in the ward having increased to more than 9,000 lead to the belief that the battle will be forcefully waged. White Owners Will Try to Get Big Prices for Property in "White" Districts. That white people own houses in blocks where colored people have recently moved, intend making colored people pay fancy prices is indicated by recent happenings. Advanced rentals and higher prices for intending purchasers have met the colored people. These price-boosting owners are among those who contend that when colored people move into a neighborhood property values fall. A reporter of the Aro-American was talking with William Lewis, the well known insurance man the other day, when a Hebrew of alien birth approached and offered to sell him a corner-house in the upper end of McCullah street for $4,200 in fee. He said the house had every modern convenience and one apartment therein was renting for $30 a month. He had refused $4,000 for the property, the owner said. "To much," said Mr. Lewis, as the man walked away. On Monday, March 11, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Dent, 1525 Drudg Hill avenue, an elaborate and finely appointed reception was given by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown of whom the latter was Miss Amy Wolf, of Lowstown Md., is now of this city. The marriage of the couple was announced, to the surprise of the assembled guests. The marriage took place at Elliott City on January 15, 1918. Mrs. Brown was attired in a magnificent gown of flushed-colored satin, covered with net of the same color, with bodice of coral trimmed with rhinestones. She carried sweet peas and Marchenal roses. The happy couple received congratulations from those present and wishes for their future happiness: Among those present were: Mrs. Mollie Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Fobus, Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Rosie Hicks, Mrs. Clara Brown, Miss Alice Thomas, Mrs. Alex. Jarvis, Mrs. W. H. Wright, Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Brown, Mrs. Margaret Wilson, Mrs. Panche Leckins, Mr. and Mrs. Alex.

Wilson, 427 Mosher street. TUCKER GETS MONTHS Manson L. Tucker, mail carrier at M. Washington, pleaded guilty in the United States Court last Saturday to the charge of re-using cancelled postage stamps, and was given six months in jail. TO MOVE MORGAN COLLEGE ANNEX TO NEW SITE At a meeting held in Washington on Wednesday of last week, it was decided to move the Morgan College unix to this city, and consolidate with the college property. The property of the school at Lynchburg, Va., will be turned over for the creation of a girl's school. Since the destruction by fire of the school's property, classes have been held on the newly-created property of Morgan College, on the Harford Road. Prof. L. M. McCoy is the principal. The branch at Lynchburg, did not have a large enrollment. The Virginia Baptist Seminary, which has a large enrollment, is located there. FISHERMEN AT CHURCH A large number of members of subordinate lodges of Galilee Fishermen turned out at Whatteat M. E. Church Sunday night to listen to the annual sermon, which was preached by Rev. John A. Holmes. Frank Carter, the State grand ruler, was in charge of the members. Negro "Dead One" in Politics "I do not look for the Negro to again be a factor in politics within the next ten years," said Ralph Tyler, former auditor of the Navy, speaking to a representative of the Afro-American the other day. When asked for his reasons Mr. Tyler said: "Recent events indicate so, one of which was when the Republican-National Committee-elected a white man national committeeman for Mississippi, when many thought that Perry W Howard was entitled to the place. Mr. Tyler says that he has no ambitions to hold office again, being very well satisfied with his work outside of the political arena.

One's entire person may be immaculate, yet if his hair has not been properly trimmed the general effect will be spoiled utterly. On the other hand, a welltrimmed head of hair and nicely shaved face is an infallible index of self respect and is always a premium for a man in all his business and social relations. They have involved with the times—a profession. The profession is indeed a worthy one and has reaped its own harvest on advancing the ideals of civilization generally. Years ago a few barbers took it unto themselves to confine their efforts strictly to the practice of medicine in this way. The medical profession was established by men who were barbers who put all their time on surgery and medicine. But if you don't read wow can't know the history of your profession.

WORTHAM The South is learning in this crisis that education is the price of efficiency and that it has just begun to pay for the ignorance that it has allowed to settle like a cloud over the whole black belt. For 300 years it has sowed and the reaping is just beginning. Immigration to the United States has not stopped altogether on account of the war more than 300,000 Scandinavians came over last year and a small number of Italian women. The figures have not been given out yet, but an increasingly numerous set of immigrants and colored people from Africa and the West Indies. This number has not been so large since the slave trade was stopped at the beginning of the last It is worth noting that Pittsburgh is to receive $10,000 for a new bath house chiefly thru the efforts of the Pittsburgh branch of the Urban League. One of these days Baltimore will recognize what it is losing by not having a branch of the League here. * * * * * * * * and other appeals to Southern South can only blame itself. I really insisted there was no need that expended as small a child when twenty times that ended. The new drafted a series of ignorance resting on the facts, 58 per cent of the native percentage of the colored men: If patriotic and other appeals to Southern workmen fall on deaf ears the South can only blame itself. It is the South that has continually insisted there was no need of the common school education, that expended as small a sum as $1.12 per ear on each child when twenty times that amount ought to ave been expended. The new drafted army gives a clean dex of the evil of ignorance resting on the South.—According to latest figures, 58 per cent of the native born whites are illiterate the percentage of the colored men is lower. GET INSURED AT ONCE Uncle Sam, or otherwise the United States Government seems to be determined to make ample provision for our soldier boys, and if they and their families are not provided for it will be largely their fault. Among other things the Government has provided is an insurance department, in which each and every soldier is allowed to take as much as ten thousand dollars of life insurance at almost a nominal rate. Every soldier owes it to himself and his family or dependents to take advantage or this spend one of the government's funds and friends should see to it that the soldier does not neglect this very important matter, otherwise if he is killed in action, they may be reduced to poverty, while on the other Reaping what they have sowed" aptly expresses conditions in which southern land owners today find themselves, with cotton selling at the highest price in fifty years and four times as high as it was in 1914 at the outbreak of the war, less cotton will be raised this year until last. With prices climbing and confidence everywhere expressed that cotton will go up higher the South is racing the smallest crop in twenty years. The Department of Agriculture is not asleep, State and federal officials are at work in every section and together with National Defense Council members are constantly making parrotic appeals to farmers to increase crops of all kinds. The farmers, the land owners are willing and anxious to take advantage of the high prices to make money, but they can't get the labor It is not true that the draft has relieved the South of the large portion of available man power. A correspondent on the New York Evening Mail who made a tour of the Southern states recently found that the ship building industry had made enroads upon labor, because ship yard owners had found Negro labor more tractable. The correspondent found 40 per cent of ship yard labor colored, and superior in every way to the white labor which he characterized as the "born tired variety." The ship building industry has taken the best but not all of Southern labor. There are still enough workmen of both races to crowd the pool rooms and loaf on the street corners of large cities like, Charleston, Columbia and Augusta. Perhaps the Southern States will find it necessary to pass a Work Law like that in force in Maryland, whereby all able bodied men are required to find steady employment. It is not strange tho that in these times when wages are high and every workman has the chance to earn the money necessary to buy a home and educate his family comfortably, that men should prefer to load on street corners and shoot pool? When the working men are intelligent, they are only too apt to take advantage of present high wages to help win the war. They may strike occasionally to keep up with the high of living and general big profits that capitalists are earnin government contracts, but in the main these laborers working the regulation union day and then overtime. The workers who are not at his trade in these days is the promen and the ignorant laborer. A large number of the men in the South are of this second class, yet after all is The following excerpts are from an article by Dr. Frank Crane on "True and False Democracy:" "Bolshevism says, 'I am as good as anybody.' Democracy says 'Everybody is as good as I am.' That's the difference. "The whole world is in upheaval. The people are astir. Democracy is stirring." is siring. "But there is a true and false democracy, just as there is a true and false religion. "True democracy means equal justice and opportunity, for every soul of man. False democracy means the triumph of one class over another. Democracy can mean nothing unless it utterly abhors all classes, unless it is eager for the rights of the other fellow as well as mine own, may be possible that when we get through fighting with autocrat- ers we shall have to take up the fight against other class mannages. ey we shall have to take up the high stakes again. "There's no revolution coming in this country. There is an evolution going on. The doors are too open and the air is too fresh in the United States to create here the stinks and mousueous gases of class war." We could put it in no better way than has Dr. Crane, nor do we desire any more nor any less than what he has stated above. We have consistently declared our belief in democracy, a democracy that knows no color, creed or religion. Every man is entitled to the same opportunities that every other man is entitled to, whether he be Jew or Gentile, black or white, barbarian or what not. We must have no false democracy based upon class or color, but a democracy for all, high or low great or small. Victory for democracy in the old world will mean nothing, and all the money spent to win the war will be illly spent, unless democracy wins for all the world. The black man in this country is willing to go as far as any other man or set of men to win the war for democracy in Europe, but he is just as willing to go further and win democracy for all peoples, not only in Europe, Asia and Africa, but in America as well. Nothing less, nothing more is asked or will be accepted. Katherine Clemmons Gould, white, who championed the cause of Reverdy C. Ransom for representative to Congress from a New York District and later left the new National Party because it would not include in its platform an equal rights plank, has been speaking frankly to newspaper reporters, who asked her reasons for her position on the race question. In Chicago she said: "We are supposed to be a democratic people. We are quite willing to allow Negroes to go into this war for democracy, to put on the uniform of the army and give their lives for the country, but if we are to be a real democracy, there is as much reason for permitting a Negro to sit in Congress as their is in allowing him to die for his country." "The war is being fought for one of two things—democracy or graft, and if it is for democracy, the black man must have his chance as well as the white man." Can ignorant workmen be expected to see beyond their own immediate needs. Can they be expected to pay attention to patriotic appeals and addresses by members of the Council of Defense.

I tell you its a hard job training these young fellows for duty at the front, but I must say that Company "G" is the crack of the resident, with Captain Howard D. Queen, the hero of carrival, commanding, who was then Sergent of Troop "K" 10th Cavalry. Our resident, the 368th Infantry, will parade in Baltimore on the 6th of April and I am going to try my hardest to leave 25 subscribers for the Afro-American Institute, with American Followers across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaiian Islands, to Mexico and I want it to follow me to France where I am, expecting to go some old day. I have also been recommended for a commission, and looking for a favorable reply on or about the 1st of April. I must say Good-bye, hoping you will see our regiment soon on parade in dear old Baltimore. JAMES E. PATTERSON. 1st Sergeant Co."G" 368th infantry Camp Meade Md. WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS THE LAW OF SACRIFICE In the war times; when we are called upon to give up so much for mankind, for our country, and for the ideal principles of the same, that these principles of democracy and liberty may be preserved to ourselves and extend and perpetuated to other peoples and nations; we are at times prone to think, feel and question whether what we are contending for in this awful conflict is worth while—worth the sacrifice we are called upon to make? We wish to bring and gives to mankind the greatest freedom and assures the largest liberty in the proper exercise of all legitimate rights and privileges is worth any sacrifice that can be made—even to the supreme sacrifice of life itself. The law of sacrifice is the law of life. Our blessed Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, not only enunciated in His teaching, but exemplified in His own life the great law of sacrifice, and taught the great and important truth that life cosus life—that to win the higher, the lower must be given up. Every existing thing must give way that something higher and better may come on. Yes, even life must lose itself in order to rise and live in a higher sphere and state. The universal law of the universe is from the lower to the higher—from seeds to souls—from star and crystal to thinker's brain and mother's heart, and from man to God. This principle or law of sacrifice is expressed in all the activities of nature. The sun shines not for itself, but for its family of plants—its flowers, its pounding, its illuminating them all in a sea of light and warming them into life and beauty. The mountains are splintered, the hills are ground up and their depths spread over the plains in rich soil that shoots up into grass and forests, wheat fields and flower gardens. And this principle finds its fastest expression in the field of what we speak of an active life. A grain of wheat falling into the ground must die, not to abide alone, but to bring forth much fruit. This principle or law of sacrifice has been always operative in the field of nature and elsewhere, and all that the ages the evolution, from what was, to what now is, has been slowly climbing. All the fair types and rich stories of nature are bought with a great price. Nature is forever sacrificing the lower to the higher, the soil to the seed, the seed to the plant, the plant to the animal and the animal to man. This being the universal law of the world—the law of sacrifice—it is apparent that man cannot escape the requirement of its fulfillment. The history of humanity discloses and proves that all human progress has been and is effected through sacrifice. Behind every successful infiltration has been a long line of costly experiments and partial failures. The theories and experiments of one generation furnish the seed of the advancement and development of the next. Every great work of literature, science, or art, have had its forerunners which perished and passed into substance. The great accomplishments in the life of so many men are largely due to the lesser accomplishments of others who have gone before them. Governments, too, grow on the same root, our country is but the ripened fruit of seeds from other lands and nations and our whole present civilization is but the outgrowth of the total past. "Other men have labored and we have entered into their labors." It is because others have died and given up their lives for us that our lives are as strong, abundant and beautiful as they are. The results of others' toil has become our triumph, and their blood our blessing. Sacrifice centres into every individual life and measures the degree of its worth, and so will it continue to do until the end of time. In some lives this principle or law stands out more conspicuous than in others, as in the case of the soldier who makes the "sacred sacrifice" in laying down his life for country and flag. And all worthy lives are marked by the same spirit—the willingness and readiness to give up one's self for others. Since this is true, we may be willing to give up everything that may be required that the higher may live—the right prosper the truth prevail—mankind be blessed and God honored. MASONS AT CAMP MEADE Last Sunday was a Red Letter Day at Camp Moade for members of the fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons who are in the service of the country at the camp and for those of this Jurisdiction. The Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons in aid for the State of Maryland and Jurisdiction. M. W. Jos P. Evans, Grand Master; George T. Dippin, Grand Secretary, hold a special service at 2 P. M. in the Y. M. C. A. building of which Dr. Calamius is in charge, which was full of interest, enthusiasm and profit. The sermon prescheduled was well received by the large audience present and was considered fitting, appropriate and helpful. Choice music was rendered by the Junior, Chair of Ashbury M. E. Church, Annapolis, Md., Rev. E. S. Williams, pastor. The Fraternity was largely represented by the presence of officers and members of the Grand Lodge and by members of the Subordinate Lodges of Baltimore and Annapolis. The order of the Eastern Star had present many members from the Grand Chapter and the Subordinate Chapters of the Lodge. The Craft were found from almost every state from Massachusetts to Florida among the soldiers; all of whom were presented to the visiting Masons and the members of the Adoptive Rite; and by them given marked evidence of their interest, good will, and wish and prayer for God's richest blessing. Most interesting talks were made by the Grand Master—several of the colored officers and by Dr. Cabanin, the efficient Y. M. C. A. Secretary. Four coaches were not sufficient to accommodate the Masons, Eastern Star members and their friends who left at 12-15 P. M. by special train from Baltimore and the number from Annapolis was almost as great. stated that, more than hundred and one thousand were left at the station in that city who could not get on the special there. It is certain that the visit of the Masons to the cantonment was on every way a success and their aim in holding the special service, namely to carry cheer and encouragement and to give assurance of interest in all that pertains to the welfare not only to the members of the Craft in the service, but to all the soldier boys was realized. DISTINGUISHED CLERGYMEN VIST THE CT VISIT THE CITY Rev. A. H. Hill, D. D., of Pine Bluff, Ark. and Rev. J. G. Robinson, D. D., of Nashville, Tenn., members of the commission appointed, by the Bishop's Council of the A. M. E. Church, re- cently held in Louisville, to sent to President Wachow Wilson, a plea against Negro concentration in this county, to post Sunday in this city. Dr. Hill filled the pulpit of Waters. A. M. E. Church Sunday morning, in place of Bishop W. D. Chapelle, D. D. of South Carolin, who was unavoidably kept from our city, and at night the pulpit of Allen A. M. E. Church. At both churches the sermons preached by Dr. Hill were thoughtful, inspiring and helpful and were heard and appreciated by large congregations. Dr. Hill is one of the foremost men of the Arkansas Conference, being not only a forceful and instructive preacher, but also a leading educator, having been for more than eight years the president of Shorter College in that state. Dr. Robinson preached at Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday morning to the usual large and appreciative audience attending this most popular church. His sermon was practical and helpful, and evidently greatly enjoyed by all who heard it. Dr. Robinson is a prominent member of the East Tennessee Conference and is now presiding elder of one of its leading districts. He is connected with the "Nashville News" a paper published in that city of Tennessee which is an educational center for our people. Dr. Robinson has served as conference reporter at several General Conferences of the A. M. F. Church. He will spend next week with Rev. A. L. Gaines, D. D., pastor of Waters A. M. E.

A COLORED MAN'S EFFECTIVE SPEECH The correspondent of the New York Evening Mail in an interesting and informing article to that journal from the city of Charleston, S. C., on its acclimatation by the rumble of war industry, gives an account of how that sleepy city was aroused and stirred by the speech of a colored citizen in protest against a growing garbage heap near the colored district. The speech, which the correspondent says was a "powerful arrangement or worse of the white population," had the effect of determining the city to at once install an incinerating plant. In effect the speech was as follows: "Gentlemen, most of you are among the leading citizens of Charleston. We or those I speak for, are lowly blocks of the city. From the fine districts south of Broad street, the refuse of your households is carted through the city and dumped out where we live. You cannot tolerate this stuff near you, but you do not think of us. From the rotten piles of this refuse come snails to us and flies to us, and the flies come into our shacks and on what we eat, and some of us get it. Our women folk go from our snacks to your fine houses and they cook your food and nurse your children, and if our people get disease from the refuse pile which you cast about our homes, they take it back to you." The force of such a presentation of vital facts could not fail of being felt, and most effective. It is true in all cases. We do no injury, injustice to any one, but we ourselves are suffering as much injury as we inflict. If we discriminate against an individual or race and thereby work his or its embarrassment, humiliation and harassment, we as truly bring to ourselves the like we have wrought, and we call for the well-being of all corporations (which some men say are souls'/ to remember, that in the administration of God's government, and in the workings of His providence, it is ordained that we pay the price for all we get, and get the penalty we deserve for the wrong we do. Distribution of Bible Study Text Book Forbidden The news comes from Washington, D.C. that the Department of Justice is getting under the Espionage Act has forbidden the distribution of "The Finished Mystery." A Bible Study text book in which patriotism is said to be described as "a certain delusion—a narrow minded hatred of other peoples" and war as "a work of Sultan." Thousands of copies of the book are said to have been seized in many states, and prosecution is threatened all persons offering the book for sale or distribution. The book purports to be a biography of Pastor Russell who died in 1916 and was published in Brooklyn, N. Y. Clayton J. Woodworth of Scranton, Pa., who compiled the book has been arrested on the charge of sodious writing; it being alleged that he prepared the book since the war began, and to have inserted references to America's cause and part in the war that are derogatory. We think the Department of Justice is right; utterances or writings which breathe any disloyalty to our country, and its action in the present world crisis should be prohibited and suppressed; and those who persist in giving publicity to such should be punished. The time is past when Americans or people in America may with impunity criticise our country's cause and right to be in the world war. These were discussed—and more—before we entered the conflict, and since the nation declared war, ample reasons have been furnished to justify the action in the sight and to the satisfaction of every loyal citizen. It is not surprising, if this proscribed book is what is claimed for it, a posthumous work of the late Pastor Charles Taze Russell to find in it extraguard and extreme statements upon any subject of which it treats. RETURN OF CITY PASTORS The Washington M. E. Conference which closed its annual session last Sunday evening in Washington, D. C. returned to the Baltimore churches all the ministers who had pastored them for the year 1917-18, except Rev. Alfred Young, of Eastern M. E. Church, who, after having completed 40 years in the lituracy asked for a supernumerary relation, which was granted him. Our city churches are to be congratulated on the return of their pastors, all of whom have been most acceptable to teirh congregations and have done effent work. We hope for them a most pleasant, profitable and successful year's work in all their efforts to build up the Master's kingdom. Color No Bar to Admission As Internes In Bellevue And Allied Hospitals In New York. The recent decision reached and made public by the Board of Trustees of the Believe and Allied Hospitals of New York "that any Negro applying for appointment as interate at these hospitals would be judged solely on ability and merit, and that investigation of any claims to the contrary would be welcomed," is another evidence that there are those who are in authority in places from which the Negro heretofore been debarred who are disposed to do and will do the right and fair thing. Men with whom ability and merit count for all they are worth, and who are not color-prejudiced, and not afraid to take the right and just stand, because of former policies, or existing local prejudices. And further the action of this Board of Trustees will not be without its influence or affect upon others, who although on boards of city or state institutions, supported largely by city and state funds, yet discriminate in a marked way against citizens on account of their color. It is needless to argue the wrong and injustice of this for all who have any sense of right, whatever admit that it is wrong and unjust. We can hope however that by action and publication such as taken by the Bellevue and Allied Hospital Board the public conscience will become the sooner enlightened and these discriminations thereby the sooner cease. The decision made and published by the Hospital Board was largely brought about by a presentation made to the Trustees by a Committee—representing the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes—the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the pastor of one of the prominent churches in New York City. It is pleasing to know that the agencies at work, to secure the rights and privileges of men that are denied us in this country—to promote our advancement and uplift, are meeting with success in many directions, and they, should have the aid and encouragement of all our people. Conditions are changing for the better, in these stirring times when so many things are occurring that give increased opportunities for preparation, employment and service. What we must do, persistently and continually content for every right and privilege that should be obtained in way that we bring no discredit on ourselves, or regret to those who have aided us in securing them. We want to enter every door opened to us for preparation for the work of men, and by being thoroughly qualified, to be able to fill the places, which in the Providence of God and the world's need we are called to fill. --- The Washington M. E. Conference which met in Washington was the scene of religious fervor last Saturday afternoon. It came when Kev, Joseph Henry, a superannuate told of his forty-one years of active work in the ministry. He told of Tevs, George E. Curry, C. H. Matthews, M. W. Clair and others, who had been converted under him. Speaking of Dr. Clair he described vividly a visit to the former's mother when Clair was a boy. "Go get Dr. Clair," asked Elisphe McDowell. Then District Superintendent C. G. Cummings said that Kev, Alfred Young wanted to retire from the active minister. Rev. Young aside, told of his work in the ministry since 1877, and said that a weak heart and rheumatism made him desire to supernuate. "I may not be able to drive the curriage now," he said, "but can trust along with the footman. Brothren, meet me in Heaven." At this juncture Rev. W. H. Dean began to sing, "Life Is Like a Mountain Railroad," and the religious fervor broke loose. Prominent ministers were seen wiping, tears away from their eyes. Bishop McDowell asked that / the hymn be sung again. Rev. Alfred Young is one of the best known ministers in the conference. Born in Dorchester, county 68 years ago, he came to Baltimore at an early age. He / joined Sunday School in 1865 and in '88, became a member of John Wesley M. E. Church. He was licensed to preach in 1877, and served the charge at Greenspring. He was ordained elder in 1881. ..The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association.. HOME OFFICE, DURHAM, N. C.

Write to DO ANGEL SPIRITS GUIDE AND HELP US? DO ANGEL SPIRITS GUIDE AND HELP US? Sir William Ernshaw Cooper the famous scientist says they do, here what he says "the man who denies spirituality" or the part of the spiritual body is capable of playing in ourative, living, daily life because it remains unseen and is so far as he knows, imponderable, intugible, and unfit is in the position of his sceptical prototype who a hundred years ago, decided the power of steam because its potentialities were hidded and undeveloped. Steam is a mighty power today. What is wanted here, is a broad open mind that is prepared to recognize the truth. The last century has revealed so many marvels, discoveries and inventions and has surged the world with many strange and the foremost the spiritual unfoldment. As a matter of fact, the scriptures seem with spiritual manifestations as to leave no doubt of communications between spirits and living people on earth. Scientists found that Egypt, Assurin, Babylon, Persia, India, and other countries have experienced spiritual manifestations through their prophets, seers and wise men. Not fighting Eastern countries where those professing the Occult science are very numerous, for the reason that Eastern people have never lost touch with the spiritual science and are therefore, perhaps, more highly spiritually evolved than brethren in Western States. It is I find conspicuous that consistent with the vast million of women in the civilized world of spiritualists. Many of them have wonderful chivalry powers and constantly communicate with angels and spirits who have passed to the beautiful life above the grave. In England, such names as Alfred Russell Wallace, Sir William Crookes, M. A. Oxton, Des. Hodgson Myers, Gurpey, Sidgwick Sir Oliver Lodge, and many others illustrious in the annals of modern times testify to the truth of spiritual science. France sends a powerful contingent in such men as Dr. Paul Gibber, Allen Kardée, Prof. Charles Richet, Col. DeRoches, Victorien Sardow, Thophile Caulet, Victor Hirug, Camile Flamarion, and many other famous people having investigated spiritualism generously give their testimony to the truth. July, the United States, Belgium, Switzerland, Romania, and other countries have not fallen behind in their testimony for we find eniment names inscribed on the roll of spiritualism too numerous to mention in this short article. There are millions of people who profess their faith in spiritualism, they implicitly believe in this wonder-compelling, energy-moving, animating vitalizing force; and this secret power they worship is the SPIRIT OF GOD.

Well why not? The bed with the paths around it looks very pretty, but it is not economical as it requires a lot of space for paths that could be used for planting more vegetables and it is space we need, and raised beds only dryout and take moisture from the plants, and they look anything but pretty unless lots of time is consumed in getting the bed perfectly level, and very few people really know how to make raised beds, and with the aid of a string and a couple of sticks to hold the string and a good eye most anyone can plant in straight rows vegetables that you use often during the summer place along the side or hole of the garden, such as lettuce and ions. Thirty-three per cent of the girls and 38 per cent of the boys in two New York public schools are suffering from improper feeding, due to ignorance of what constitutes a suitable diet under present conditions, according to studies made by New York social workers, utilizing the medical services of the Department of Health and the Association for Improving the Condition of the Joor. The school lunch is considered a direct way of meeting the problem revealed by the school district. The school lunch program is now being proposed. The first of these experiments is an extension of the existing school lunch service at School No. 40, East 20th street, where 25 of the children are to be given one meal a day for three months. The Post Graduate Hospital, the New York School Lunch Committee, and the People's Institute are cooperating to bring the utmost of scientific control to the experiment and in making known the results in terms of physical improvement, scholarship, cost, and applicability of the results to school children generally. Describing the 25 boys who have been undergoing the school lunch experiment at Public School No. 40, Mr. John Collier, of the People's University, says: "Not one of these boys is undernourished because of some other physical disorder. Their only disease is malnutrition. They are from nine to twelve years old and they look like children between the ages of four and six. Their malnutrition shows itself in reduced weight and heavy muscles. They have natively strong constitutions, otherwise their malnutrition would have already produced tuberculosis, rickets, breathing defects, heart defects or other organic maladies in other words, these children were not chosen because they were extreme cases, but because they are hardy youngsters by nature, and their condition is purely one of slow starvation." A School Problem.—Dr. Josephine Paker, director of the Bureau of Child Mrs. Young's Easy Cake As Printed In The Baltimore Evening Sun. Put 2 eggs, 1½ cups sugar and a slice of butter about the size of two eggs in a bowl and beat thorously. Add 2 cups of sifted flour 2 cups of sifted powder and any may suit the taste.

It is not necessary for a gardener to go tramping thru his garden every day unless it is a very large garden; but the most of us have war gardens and we can go over every bit of it in one day and take our time. Once plant every week or so to cultivate and a few times to harvest the crop is enough. In raising onions so many people make the mistake of hoeing them too often and hoeing the dirt up around them, which is an excellent way to have nothing much but stalks. Whether you plant seeds or bulbs plant as early in the spring as it is possible to work the ground. If you plant late the hot weather will catch them and cause them to ripen before the bulbs reach any size. Your soil should be rich and loamy, the addition of plenty of rotted stable waste being advisable. This will cause quick growth and give large bulbs before the hot weather hits them. In planting seed for large onions cultivate often, and be sure that you sow the seed thinly, if too thick thin out when the size of a leaf pencil and transplant about three inches apart. It is very important to keep the weeds down, as they are liable to choke the young seedlings. It will consume lots of time to transplant this outdoor plant in a crop of young transplants out of hard growth and also a little of the soil. A cool cloudy day is a good time to transplant, just after a light rain. Hygiene of the New York Board of Health, has for over a year been gathering data to show that many school children of New York City are in a serious condition because of improper feeding. Careful investigations have shown that large numbers of children go to school in the morning with nothing but tea or coffee and bread and cake for their breakfast, and that cereals are scarcely used at all, milk very little. In a alloy of the children there are even enough food, but it is not wisely chosen, either through ignorance of the parents, or because of the fact that in many classes both parents are working and there is no need to prepare the proper food for the children. The means for the feeding experiment at Public School No. 40 have been carefully worked out by Dr. Mary Schwartz Rose of Columbia University and Miss Luey K. Gillotte, dicitian of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Door. These menus are to contain 90 calories. The foods selected are those most easily available to the people during the present war time crisis and those which should be used for purposes of conservation. The boys referred to out these menus or a period of time when the Scouts' to prove what food in war time children must eat in order to reach proper physical development. For samples of the menus, see Bureau of Education Home Economic Letter No. 31 which can be had free by applying to the Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C. In a letter to the Bureau of Education, District Superintendent Henry E. Jenkins, in charge of New York evening schools, says: "The problem of the improperly nourished child in school is becoming a burning one in New York and undoubtedly has become or will become acute in other cities. I feel that this should be part of the national work." It is hoped that the New York experiment will help to arouse interest among schoolmen in the school lunch as the surest means for carrying a knowledge of food values into the homes of the people. In view of the importance of black strap molasses in the manufacture of feeding stuffs, the United States Food Administration has decided to prevent profiting in this commodity. Mr. Hoover has, therefore, made the announcement that the Administration, after an investigation of the cost of the manufacture of black strap molasses, has determined that any sale of imported black strap molasses or of black strap molasses produced in the states from imported cane, at a price of $1.00 per pound, occurs a gallon will constitute an unjust and unequivocal burden.

Then prepare the salt water bath by adding two tablespoons of finely powdered salt to a basin of cold water and apply with a piece of antiseptic gauze, allowing it to dry on the skin. Continue bathing the skin for twenty minutes. A strong solution of salt water applied to the roots of the hair will often arrest falling hair when all other means have failed. When the eyes are tired and heavy bathe in warm salt water. A weak solution of salt water will tone up the tissues and promote a healthier condition. There is nothing better than salt to remove stains from the teeth after eating fruit or berries. Wet the bristles of the brush and dip in the dry salt. Rub the teeth with an upward and down motion, then rinse the mouth with clear water. Clean the teeth once a week with salt to prevent yellow teeth and the accumulation of burter on the teeth. Salt will harden the gums and keep them well nourished by simulating the circulation of the blood. To sure to keep a box of salt on the bath-room shelf and above all, don't fail to use it.
