Ovation All Along The Line PRESIDENT WILSON REVIEWS MARCHERS Soldiers Show Result of Fine Training They Are Receiving Under Their Colored Officers. Many Visit Camp in Druid Hill Park. (Franklin F. Johnson) All Baltimore is still talking about the great impression that the 388th Infantry made last Saturday, when 12,000 soldiers from Camp Mende marched in the big military parade. The day was a memorable one in that not only it marked the first anniversary of the entrance of the States into the world war, and the launching of the third Liberty Loan, but for the fact that President Wilson was here to review the marching troops and at night delivered an adress that clearly set forth the aims of the country in its efforts to crush the Germans. There were four divisions in the parade, the 3,600 men of the 388th Infantry being the only colored one. These men included draftees from Tennessee, Southern Maryland, the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Pennsylvania. From the time the parade started at Central avenue and Jefferson street until it passed the reviewing stand at Mt. Royal avenue and St. Paul street, where President and Mrs. Wilson and a party of distinguished white citizens sat, the colored troopers were given an ovation that far exceeded that given the three divisions of white troopers. A spectacular day of the day was the bearing of Sergent Landers, drum major and bandmaster. The band played all that caught the fancy of the 400,000 persons who watched the boys who will soon be "over there" to get the Kaiser, and showed well the fine training that Bandmaster A. J. Thomas had given them. Drum Major Landers was the hero of the day all along the line, showing rare skill in handling his staff. He is a Philadelphia and fine cakewalker, and as the band jazed he swung his staff in majestic style. Then the men the regiment showed that they are the equals of any, if not superiors, of all in marching ability, so erect was their carriage and even their steps. CITY OFFICIALS CHEER As the 12,000 troopers passed in review before the Democratic city officials, the 368th came in for the lion's share of cheers. Up Baltimore street to Howard, where they turned northward, was one continuous ovation. At Howard and Lexington streets, the regimental band struck up "Over There," the populace, white and colored, simply went wild. At Howard street and Drud Hill avenue, where the spectators, were backed all way back to Eutaw street, the crowd was simply wild. As the marchers swung into staid and fashionable Mt. Vernon Place, swung around the monument to George Washington into Charles street, the reception was repeated. Volleys of Cheers greeted them as they passed the Baltimore, University, Commonwealth and Maryland Clubs and the Belvedere Hoeirs, the windows of each place being lined with spectators. On out, Charles street, to -Mt. Royal avenue, where the parade turned east, the plaudits came in a storm, and when the 36th reached the stand where President Wilson was, Drum Major Landers put on his sweltest didoes. The hand tarried awhile, playing patriotic airs, while the presidential party reviewed with beaming the soldiers of African descent showed that they were the equal of any in military bearing. President Wilson paid a high compliment to the men and one looked than Col. W. P. Jackson, the commander of the regiment. The hearing of the men showed the splendid results obtained by the company officers, who had been trained at Fort Des Moines, Captains Peeks, Seward, Sanders and others, along with Lleuus, Walter Webb, Curtis Carpenter, James B. Williams and Edgar A. Love, the four last-named being Bultimoreans. Leuit, Williams, who is connected with the headquarters company, was mounted, as was also Lieutenant Love, who is the regimental chaplain. He tired but happy lot of soldiers that returned to their camp at Drud Hill Park, but all were proud of the fact that they had one continuous ovation from white and colored Bultimoreans. SIDELIGHTS OF THE HIKERS When the 12,000 men reached the southwestern city limits last Friday morning after their long hike from Camp Mende, the 368th looked as if they had only gone a block or two. They swung up Druid Hill avenue, singing "Thail! Hall! The Gang's All Here," and an admiring populace cheered lustily. Reaching Druid Hill Park, tents were quickly pitched just to the north of Druid Lake. There the men seemed happy as they viewed the expanse and got ready for dinner, etc. That beneficient agency—the Army Y. M. C. A—followed in the wake of the men, pitching a tent also. Edgar A. Wallace, James E. Adams, James E. Mehlinger, Dr. George W. Cabinis and Henry Clay were the Y. M. C. A men on hand to look after the boys. Hundreds of visitors visited the camp in Druid Hill Park, all intently interested in seeing how life is in the army. Many were there to greet relatives. A Philadelphia soldier spied a woman from his city. "What are you doing here," he said. "I thought I would see my husband in advance before he goes to France," was the reply. One white man standing near Mr. Royal Station gave vent to his feelings when he spied the "cakewalking" drum major, heard the 368th band and saw the men of the regiment. Throwing his hat into the air, the man excigated: "I can't just help it. I am so glad that I have lived to see the day when we have a united country." "Sergeant Landers didn't 'sashay' any in the parade, "said a member of the 368th. You ought to see him at Camp Meade, where he has more elbow room." The showing made was the dinner talk with a number of prominent white families Saturday, according to servants, and the "folks" were lazily in their praise of the colored troops. "Here comes the smokes" and similar expressions were heard from some whites, but when the colored boys, their band and drum major got closer their sneers turned to cheers. And Sergeant Landers is six feet plus five inches. Though the colored troops "did nobly," there were no prominent colored personages on the reviewing stand. Just before the men left the park for the parade, each company was drilled to get the "kinks" out. Druid Hill avenue, from Eutaw street to Howard was one surging mass of humanity. When the drum major and the 368th Regiment love into sight you could hear the unnuttural outbreak for a block or two. FINANCIAL BOARD TO MEET.

MAJOR WALKER DEAD Washington, April 11.—Quite a shock was caused here when the news came that Mr. James E. Walker, commander of the old First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia, at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, thur-died at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, Thursday of last week. Only a few days before the United States formally declared war against Germany, the First Separate Battalion was called out to guard bridges and public buildings in the District. The work of Major Walker and his men epitheted general commendation. The deceased was well known in local educational circles, being a supervising principal. A widow, Mrs. Beatrice Walker, i samong the surviving relatives. RECEPTION FOR DR. TINDLEY Philadelphia, April 10.—The members of Calvary M. E. Church gave their pastor, Rev. Dr. C. A.

(The measure carries an appropriation of $50,000 for the first year and $25,000 for the second year. old year. SOLDIERS MUST NOT ASK FOR LEGAL RIGHTS General Ballou Issues Order Restraining Soldiers From Going Where They Are Not Wanted. LEGAL RIGHT NOT QUESTIONED Says Whites "Made" Regiment and Can "Break" It if AnyTrouble Arises Funston, Kan., April 8.—The following order was issued to the 92nd Division under date of March 28th at Camp Funston. It is given without comment: "It should be well known to all colored officers and men that no useful purpose is served by such acts as will cause the "color question" to be raised. It is not a question of legal rights, but a question of policy, and any policy that ends to bring about a conflict of races, with its resulting animosities, is prejudicial to the military interest of the 92nd Division, and therefore predictorial to an important interest of the colorer race. "2. To avoid such conflicts the Division Commander was repeatedly urged that all colored members of his command, and especially the officers and noncommissioned officers, should refrain from going where their presence will be resented. In spite of this injunction, one of the sergeants of the Medical Department has recently precipitated the precise trouble that should be avoided, and then called on the Division Commander to take sides in a row that should never have occurred had the sergeant placed the general good above his personal pleasure and convenience. This sergeant entered a theatre, as he doubtedly had a legal right to do, and precipitated trouble by making it possible to allege race discrimination in the seat he was given. He is strictly within his legal rights in this matter, and the theatre manager is legally wrong. Nevertheless the sergeant is guilty of the GREATER wrong in doing ANYTHING, NO MATTER HOW LEGALLY CORRECT, that will provoke race animosity. "3. The Division Commander repeats that the success of the Division with all that success implies, is dependent upon the good will of the public. That public is nine-tenth white. White men made the Division, and they can break it just as easily if it becomes a trouble maker. "4. All concerned are again enjoined to place the general interest of the Division above personal pride and gratification. Avoid every situation that can give rise to racial ill-will. Attend quietly and faithfully to your duties, and don't go where your presence is not desired. PIONEER BUILDER DEAD PIONEER BUILDER DEAD Philadelphia, April 10.—Mr. Ellias Chase, successful contractor and prominent church worker, died from general debility recently, aged 84 years. He had built a number of large structures in and around this city. He leaves a number of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mrs. M. S. C. Beckett, widow of the late Rev. John W. Beckett, of the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference, is a daughter of the deceased Tuskegee Institute, April 11.—The seventh annual clinic of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., closed Saturday afternoon, April 6th, 1918. This has been one of the most successful clinics since the practice of conducting this kind of a meeting was begun. Physicians, and surgeons were present from Nashville, Tennessee, zoning, Kentucky, Atlanta, Macon and Athens, Ga., Montgomery, Salem, Birmingham, Opotika, Deernton and Aniston, Ala., and from other places. The first day was devoted to the treatment of patients who came to the out-clinic. Patients were present in great numbers from different parts of Bacon county and some from the State of Georgia and the large number of physicians, and surgeons had all the work they could do during the three days' session. The last day being entirely devoted to operative work, Quite a large number of various kinds of operations were done. Operations on the tonsils, adenoids and bone work as well as various kinds of abdominal operations were performed with ease and skill by the surgeons present, showing that they had a mastery of the situation. Of the large and various kinds of conditions which presented themselves for treatment, not a case was turned down. All received the indicated treatment. In connection with this clinic there was permanent organization perfected, known as the John A. Andrew Clinical Society. The object of which is to conduct the clinic from year to year and to examine and treat the cases which present themselves for treatment and develop more interest and greater skill on the part of the Negro physicians and surgeons in the examination and diagnosis of both medical and surgical cases presented.

Lyer, of Missouri introduced in the House Monday, a bill penalizing communities from five to ten thousand dollars that permitted lynchings or failed to prosecute lynchers. The unpunished lynchings, that have gone on for years, as well as such outbreaks as occurred in East St. Louis, together, with the insistence that the federal government enact an anti-lynching measure, is said to have prompted Mr. Dyer. The bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee. CHURCH. MAKES GOOD SHOWING Wilmington, Del., April 6—At the fourth quarterly conference of Ezion M. E. Church reports showed the church to have had the most successful year in its history. The total receipts for the year amounted to over ten thousand dollars with more money to come in before the close of the conference year. Rev. Dr. J. U. King is the energetic pastor of the church. ORGANIC UNION RECOMMENDED BY COLORED METHODIST BODIES Committee of A. M. E., C. M. E. and A. M. E. Lion Churches Recommend Articles of Agreement to be Considered by General Conference of Each Denomination. UNITED METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH Committee Sees "No Sufficient Reasons for Keeping Separate These Three Bodies of Methodism that Have No Ecclesiastical Differences." Birmingham, April 10.—A comprehensive and yet far-reaching plan looking toward the ultimate consolidation of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, was agreed upon a meeting of bishops, ministers and laymen representing the three denominations a few days ago. The personnel of the commission, which was appointed at the Tri-Commit of Bishops of the three denominations, was held in Louisville recently, follows: African Methodist Episcopal Zion—Bishops George W. Clinton, J. S. Caldwell and George C. Clementes, Revs. E. D. W. Jones, Proof, S. G. Atkins, W. J. Trent and Oscar W. Adams. African Methodist Episcopal—Bishops L. J. Coppin, W. W. Beckett and M. H. Bhunton Parks, Revs. J. W. Walker, John Harrington, J. W. Spencer, Curie and Proof, John R. Hawkins, P. E. Lykes and Green Jackson. PLAN OF CO-OPERATION The recommendations urge that the plan of co-operation be suggested in the address of the bishops at Louisville, be carried, or some other plan, equally good, be followed until the recommendations of the bishops are finally raised. The fraternal spirit is also advocated on the vocation. The utilization idea has been growing since the bishops of the three denominations met together in Washington in 1908. It was then only agree that the denominations co-operate to the recognition of the marginal order and to the vocation of two other minor points. The proposed union of the M. E. Church and the M. E. Church South—a question which is engaging the attention of a commission of the Methodist Association as well as the question raised as to the status of the colored membership. Colored Methodist Episcopal-Bishops, R. S. Williams, R. A. Carter and S. Cleaves, Tevah, R. A. Bray, S. Stieves, Tevah, R. A. Bray, J. F. Lunge, J. A. Lester and W. A. Boll. A UNITED CHURCH The commission proposed that the name of the three bodies he changed to that of the United Methodist Episcopal Church be the following application: "Historically speaking, it is seen that the African Methodist Episcopal, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion and the Colored Methodist Episcopal Churches originated in a similarity of causes and, therefore, resulted in similarity of effect use. The "organized" churches are there any good sufficient reasons from keeping separate these three Methodist churches that have never had any ecclesiastical differences among themselves? If it be true that each and all of us are utilizing every means our command to consume the great commission to exemplify the our usefulness naturally follows that our usefulness in Christian work would be manifoldly multiplied by working together as a united force." BASIS OF COALITION The plan of the commission for ultimate union provides that each party to the union agree to share alike in the assets and liabilities held by each of the denominators. The commission is held in the name of each separate organization be transferred to the United Methodist Episcopal Church and the bishops of the separate organizations be the bishops of the contested body. It is also stipulated that the denominations work out the details of the foregoing. The General Conference of the C. M. E. Church, which meets in Chicago this May, the General Conference of the A. M. F. Church, which will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, the General Conference which will be held in Knoxville, Tenn., at the same time, are to take up the recommendations. Should organic union be ratified by the three general conferences, then the annual conferences must agree the same, otherwise, and circuits up annual conferences must do the same. A three-fourths vote of annual conferences and all congrega- tions is the final action before union will be commended. PLAN OF CO-OPERATION The recommendations urge that the plan of co-operation for the three denominations, as suggest the deed of the bishop of Louisville, be carried, or some other plan, equally good, be followed until the recommendations of the bishops are finally ratified. The fraternal spirit is also availed pending the ratification. The unification idea has been growing since the bishop was joined together in Washington in 1908. It was then only agree that the denominations co-operate to the recognition of ministerial order and in one or two other minor points. The proposed union of the M. Church and the M. Church of the Methodist body is engaging the attention of a commission of the two bodies and now in session in St. Louis, as well as the question raised as to the status of the colored membership of the Northern church should they unite, again brought. The distinctively colored Methodist bodies. Should they unite a church embracing 1,500,000 members would result--the strongest Negro religious force in the world. It would also prevent the duplication of much church and educational work and thereby to or some other way the cessation of unnecessary and operating rivalry. The A. M. E. Zion and the A. M. Churches are both more than a century old and stand as a protest to the discriminations practiced by white religious bodies in the early days of this country. The Colored M. E. Church is an offshoot of the Church of Jesus Christ in 1870. The latter denomination has always taken a sort of paternal interest in its welfare, however. Dr. James H. N. Waring, former principal of the Colored High School, has accepted a position in Y. M. C. A. work in a cantonment near Boston, having given up his work as superintendent of Howard Orphanage, now closed, and located near Kings Park, L. I. Have you subscribed to the third Loan? If not, you should. Your duty would be to subscribe if Uncle Sam had not drafted a single colored man. Your duty is doubly paramount because your sons and brothers will be among those sent to Europe to aid Uncle Sam and the Allies crush the Kulsek in 1868. Infantry made in the parade last Saturday, and remember that they and other colored troops, as well as the thousands of whites, need the money that you should invest in a Liberty Bond so that while swaiting the Germans they will have every support that you can give them.

CONFERENCE 10 CONVENE NEXT WEEK Ministers Will Meet at Allen A. M. E. Church—Bishop Johnson to Preside The ministers of the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference, which opens its 10th annual session at Allen A. M. E. Church, Lincoln and Carlton meet Wednesday, are about ready, reaching their last germons of the conference year this Sunday. Bishop J. Albert Johnson will preside. Rev. C. H. Stephan will be the entertaining pastor. The session practically begins next Tuesday at one P. M., when the expiration of candidates for the minister will take place. The same evening Reys, A. L. Calmes and G. H. West will give "Some Slideights on the recent Tri-Council of Bishops at Louisville." Bishop Johnson is expected to deliver a talk on "The Position of the Church During the World War." Solos will be sung by Reys, William Chew, G. H. West and C. E. Stewart, Rev. J. W. Morris will preside. Following the opening services and the preaching of the annual sermon by Rev. D. J. Beckett next Wednesday morning, the organization of the conference will take place. A business session will be held in the office of the pastor Michael Ross and William C. McCarril will deliver addresses of welcome at night, following which a reception will be tendered the visiting ministers and their wives, business sessions will be held Thursday morning and afternoon, and Rev. W. H. Manoko will preach the missionary sermon at night. The conference branched of the Women's Mite Missionary Society will hold the boards on Friday afternoon, with Mrs. C. J. Flang presiding, Mrs. Effe Young will read a paper on "A Saloon-less Nation" and Mrs. Annie M. Wortham will talk on "The Possibilities of Women." Rev. J. A. Young will preach the education sermon at night. A business session will be held on Saturday morning of next week Eishop-Johnson is expected to preach the ordination sermon on Sunday morning (May 17). Regular Sunday School and Christian Endeavor League services will be held in the afternoon. Following a sermon at night, Bishop Johnson will announce the appointments for the ensuing year. The ministers are on the anxious bench regarding certain appointments. Not that the five-year terms of many expire, but that a place must be made for Dr. Dr. A. L. Gaines, whose line is up as pastor of Waters A. M. E. Church. Gossip has it that Dr. Gaines may get several appointments, of course, he can only fill one, but the fact that Bishop J. Albert Johnson, who will preside over the conference, does not divulge his assignments in advance, adds interest to the speculation regarding Dr. Gaines. Dame Rumor has it that Dr. Gaines may be returned to Trinity Church, this city, where he was stationed before to Waters Church. Then some say he may succeed Dr. Dr. J. W. Norris as presiding elder of the Biggestown district. The latter has one more year to serve, however. It is also rumored that he may succeed Dr. Dr. P. J. Jordan as presiding elder of the Potomac district or Rev. S. H. Cooper as presiding elder of the Easton district. None or these rumors can be verified, however. Notwithstanding the fact that the time for election of delegates to the next A. M. E. General Conference is one year distant, gossips have it that the state-makers are busy. One program for ministerial delegates indicates Revs. C. H. Stephanel, I. W. Worthham, W. Sampson Brooks, C. H. Murray, David Johnson and J. G. Martin as the chosen few. Another has it that Revs. A. L. Gaines, S. M. Johnson, John W. Norris, S. H. Cooper and W. Sampson Brooks are to be among the elect. Still another has it that Revs. J. G. Martin, P. J. Jordan, John S. Collins, Carl M. Tanner L. S. Flagg, S. H. Cooper and John W. Norris. And another one mentions Revs. C. H. Stephanel, P. W. Worthham, Daniel G. Hill, C. M. Tanner and S. M. Johnson. And all of the foregoing is mere The Baltimore Conference of the M. E. Church passed the following resolutions on Friday of last week commending the work of Morgan College, praising the educational advance of the faculty and appreciating the work being in field and camp: "Whereas, Morgan College has suffered a large property loss in the destruction of its fine stone building at Lynchburg, Va.; and "Whereas, The college has purchased a site of nearly 70 acres of ground on the Hillen Road, extending back toward the Harford Road as a permanent site for its work; and "Whereas, This work is of vital importance to the hundred thousand or more colored people in Greater Baltimore, therefore. Resolved, That this Conference expresses interest in the work of the College now celebrating its 50th anniversary and request the pastors and official boards to allow such presentation of the work as may be mutually convenient. "We wish in this connection also to express our highest confidence in the work of training and educating our great Negro population in those elements of good citizenship in which the colored people are now giving such testimony in their training as soldiers in camp and field.

REUNION OF BAPTISTS MAY OGCUR HERE Baltimore may be the some of the reminding of the colored Baptists of the country nest September, provided it is able to furnish an auditorium large enough for the seating of the several thousand delegates who will be in attendance. Just before leaving the city the obituary of Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., told a representative of the Afro-American that he thought Baltimore a fine place in which to hold the meeting and formally ratify the articles of agreement signed at Memphis several weeks ago. "We are about to heal the breach which occurred at Chicago in 1915," he said, "and I think your city a fine place in which to reunite the twain. I have talked with representative colored Baptists here, as well as whites, and see no reason why the session should not be held here: "I am highly pleased with the outpouring of Baltimoreans at the several places I delivered addresses here, and must commend the people of your city for their hospitality," he concluded. As told in last week's Afro-American, Dr. Morris, who has long been president of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, delivered addresses at First and Psalmist Baptists and in the auditorium at Sparrows Point. At the last named-place he talked in a patriotic vein to 600 men employed at the steel works. LOCAL BAPTISTS ENTHUSIASIC Rev. W. J. Winston, pastor of Wayland Baptist Church, who was one of the leading factors in having Dr. Morris include Baltimore on his speaking itinerary, is enthusiastic over the prospect of this city entertaining the Baptists of the country. "The coming to Baltimore of the conventions would be a big thing for the city," he said. "It would mean not only that several thousand visitors would be here, but that the city would be the scene of an historic event—the reuniting of the Baptists of the country. "It is a matter that should concern all Baltimore, irrespective of creed, and all should work to the common good. The main difficulty will be in securing an auditorium of sufficient size, but that difficulty ought to be overcome. The Baptists of Baltimore have until May 31 to let the world know whether or not they can entertain the session." Other ministers are equally enthusiastic. The convention, of which Dr. Morris is head, was to have held its next session in Newark, N. J., and the Boyd faction in Little Rock, Ark. The signing of the peace agreement by the conferences, made it necessary to choose a third city. Washington was mentioned at first, but there the government has been using Convention Hall since the war broke out. Dr. Morris and Rev. W. F. Granam, pleased by the splendid greeting they received here last week, then thought local Baptists should have the honor. The National Baptist Convention has met in Baltimore. PASTOR RETURNS TO HIS PULPIT Rev. Albert J. Mitchell, pastor of Ames Memorial M. E. Church, Carey and Baker streets, hopes to be in his pulpit morning and evening this Sunday. Rev. Mitchell has been confined to his home for the past three weeks, bringing him to the plaza. Rev. W. H. Weaver, who preached the Easter sermon, and E. W. S.

WASHINGTON—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear son and friend, Ellsworth, who fell asleep in Jesus two years ago today, April 14, 1916. When God called he answered Yes, Lord here am I Then the chariot was lowered And he rose to the sky. Bright throngs at the portal As the gates opened wide Sang aloud their hosannas As his soul passed inside. Twas so hard to lose him Jesus will guide When troubles assail Neath his wings we can hide. We trust him faithfully And soon he will say Come rest with thy loved one Through one endless day. Gone but will never be forgotten. By his beloved mother, Mrs. Mary-E. Cornish and his devoted friend, Miss Rachel E. Smith. Marshall's Grocery... 535 Dolphin Street Mt. Ver. 3416-J Be quick to kick If things gowrong; But kick to us And make it strong.

Just for the sake of you I some bitter pills in that respect. Yumper. Officers in our regiment are all gentle respect, and our good Colonel Hayward man could be. We love our officers, and we are taking the slurs, inscram that confront us daily on duty from the heathen people who do not know but bye and bye, some day in the city a justification. Oh, our wives, our brothers, and our families pray that to govern ourselves! The Afro-American has nothing but words of praise for Colonel W. S. Mapes, white, of the 368th Infantry at Camp Meade. Colonel Mapes while in Baltimore last week declared publicly that the 368th Infantry is the best in the cantonment. Backing up his declaration, he pointed to the housekeeping of the boys, their apparent automatic drilling, and the courage of colored regiments that he has commanded in previous wars. "I have been wounded twice with them, and I have never seen a streak of yellow in Negro troops as a body," said the Colonel as his final word. Perhaps, after all, the Colonel was "laying it on rather thick." While perfectly, sincere in his opinion, his admiration may be toot to be influenced by the fact that the soldiers of the 368th are his own command. "Fatherly affection" might express the reason for his high words of commendation. This is undoubtedly the view of General Nicholson, who admits that the 368th are good troopers but not superior to the others. In fact, every Colonel at Meade asserts and insists that his own regiment is the best in the camp. This is natural. The fact that we wish to point out here is a fact that every experienced officer knows. Unless commanding officers and men constitute a mutual admiration society, the regiment fails in the pinches. Successful commanding generals are men that have fought their way to fame, backed solidly by the love and respect of the men in the ranks. At the outbreak of the present war some of the Russian and German regiments could not be trusted to make successful attacks. They used up too many officers. Those who were not killed by the enemy were "mysteriously" shot down from the rear. One German deserter boasts that he "disposed of" five officers of his regiment in this way. The Afro-American has asked the War Department to officer all colored troops with colored officers. If all white officers were of the caliber of Colonel Mapes, this request would not have been necessary. Two weeks ago the New York Outlook contained a leading article on the "Mobilization of the Darkey" by a white lieutenant in charge of colored troops. It is this type of white officer that we commend especially the example of Colonel Mapes. As further example of good and bad white officers in charge of colored troops, we reprint without comment this letter from the current number of the "Crisis." The writer is a member of the 15th New York regiment in France: "Dear, you do not know what we have to go thru here, but in the end 'The Great God' above will right all wrongs. I would never have dreamed that the American white man would ever at this time when each and every man of the dear old U. S. A. is sacrificing his all and all for his country regardless of his creed or color, use prejudice and try his utmost to poison another nation against the American Negro soldier. Just for the sake of you I am swallowing some bitter pills in that respect. You know my temper. "The officers in our regiment are all gentlemen in every respect, and our good Colonel Hayward is all that a man could be. We love our officers and our Colonel, and we are taking the slurs, insults, and the sarcasm that confront us daily on duty and off duty from the heathen people who do not know any better, but bye and bye, some day in the end, there will be a justification. Oh, our wives, our mothers, sisters, brothers, and our families pray that we may be able to govern ourselves! HOW TIMES DO CHANGE. Baltimoreans were arrested if found a clock, but were not taken in if our theatres, is shown in an old letter. B. Dyson of Howard University, in Commercial College Outlook. The City Council of Washington, D. C., Washington Theatre. It reads as follows: we take the liberty of representing oppressors us most heavily, and of undermining, to represent the case How Baltimoreans were arrested if found on the streets after nine o'clock, but were not taken in if on their way to and from the theatres, is shown in an old letter dated 1833 by Prof. W. B. Dyson of Howard University, in the current issue of the Commercial College Outlook. The letter was addressed to the City Council of Washington, D. C., by the manager of the Washington Theatre. It reads as follows. "Permit us to take the liberty of representing to you a burden that oppresses us most heavily, and of requesting your kind endeavors to represent the case before the Mayor and council so that we may obtain all the relief that is in their power to grant. "You must be aware that we pay nightly to the city a tax of $6 for permission to perform in the theatre; in the year 1832 this amounted to nearly $1,400 in the aggregate. We pay this tax cheerfully, and all we ask in return is a liberal protection and support form the city. "There is at present a law in force which authorizes the constable of the city to arrest the colored people if on the street after 9 o'clock, without a pass. A great proportion of our audience consists of persons of this caste, and they are consequently deterred from giving us that support that they would otherwise do. "Can there be any modification of the law suggested, or will the mayor and council authorize us to give passes to those colored persons who leave the theatre for the purpose of proceeding directly to their homes? "In the city of Baltimore, where we have a theatre, and pay a smaller license than we do here, the law, as regards the colored people is not acted upon when they are coming or going to the theatre. "In a pecuniary point of view, we look upon this law as a detriment to us of $10 nightly, and we have great reason to hope that a law that reaps so heavily upon us alone may meet with the kind of consideration of the mayor and council, and be so modified as to relieve us from the heavy loss that it causes us at present to incur. "Jefferson and Mackenzie, Managers of the Washington Theatre." As the letter indicates, there was a time when colored patronage of the theatres was valued and sought after. It appears auso that 30 years before the Civil War, colored folk demonstrated a remarkable interest in dramatic art. Prof Dyson comments: "It is amusing if one can forget the seriousness, to see how prone business is to use the Negro until established, then discard him. WHAT DOES "BREAKING" MEAN? General Ballou's bulletin, ed troops from insisting on the to stir up race trouble repress bulletin, with slightly changed Training Camp in Des Moines, cussed.

"That public is White men made the Division, and they only if it becomes a trouble-maker." Just possible that General Ballou is mall War Department will not countenance. mean by "breaking" the colored Division at the colored soldiers will be disbanded Southern farms, or what? A statement to clear up this bulletin from a well-me General Ballou's bulletin, recently issued enjoining color ed troops from insisting on their legal rights which are likely to stir up race trouble represents nothing new. The same bulletin, with slightly changed form, was read to the Officers' Training Camp in Des Moines last summer, and widely discussed. The bulletin reminds all colored soldiers that they must submit to illegal discrimination in theatres or elsewhere rather than cause a disturbance by insisting upon having their rights. The reason for this is odd enough. General Ballou rather strangely states that the "success" of the colored soldiers depends not on their faithfulness and attendance to duty, but to the good will of the public. "That public is nine-tenths white. White men made the Division, and they can break it just as easily if it becomes a trouble-maker." It is just possible that General Ballou is making threats that the War Department will not countenance. Just what does he mean by "breaking" the colored Division? Can he mean that the colored soldiers will be disbanded or put to work on Southern farms, or what? A statement is being awaited to clear up this bulletin from a well-meaning commander. have seen pictures representing great concern in which animals and fowl of all kind are destruction.

We have seen pictures representing great conflagrations or floods in which animals and fowl of all kind are fleeing from the destruction. The only thought seems to be that of escaping the threatened dangers. There was no thot on the part of any of danger from each other, but the whole purpose seemed to be to get away from the peril threatening them all. In these things beast and bird seem to have more sense and judgment than do the average white American. In these times of stress and war, it would seem that the common danger threatening the whole nation would make all as one, with but a single thot—to overcome the common enemy. In the name of all that is good and great, why in the world will the majority of white Americans continue to thrust this damnable prejudice continually to the front, when every man, woman and child, white and black, are expected to make every possible sacrifice in order to win the war for so-called Democracy? Is there no man strong enough at this time to rise up and in the strongest terms condemn it? The black man is no slacker, he is going to the front and not only doing "his bit" but his whole duty for the flag of his country and for Democracy for all peoples everywhere.

BRAGG CAPITULATES Finding that an observance of any time other than that being used by the government would make it rather hard for people to "keep their bearings." Dr. George F. Bragg announced from his pulpit last Sunday that the time for St. James Church would be in accordance with the new time arrangement of the government. As was told in the Afro-American last week Dr. Bragg refused to set up a church at the location of the church at the time set by the government with the result that those who heard St. James Church were "one hour early." Last Sunday many of the members were "one hour late." MORSE OUT IN FRONT. New York, April 10—Roy F.

Sunday to witness the big parade. Miss Marie Sprigg was a week early visitor to friends in Philadelphia and Wilmington. --- WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS The lady was most earnest and impressive in the presentation of her request and reasons for it, and thanking us for the hearing accorded her left without giving her name doubtless to secure a place where she could witness the big parade of whom are to fight for the "spreading of democratic ideals, which include freedom and equal privileges for all." We are confident that if she witnessed the parade and saw the way that our boys—the $500—departed themselves she was the more contained and settled in. her convictions that our people are truly loyal and patient, and patriotic in spirit, the American spirit and ideals—and should be regarded and treated everywhere at all times by all people especially at home as just American citizens—and to be classed as such ought to mean to the African Americans as much as the European francs meant to the African citizens in the matter of right privileges etc. in the eyes of the law and in the practice of all. THE COING RATIFICATION CONVENTION OF BAPPISTS Bvt. Dr. E. C. Morres, of Helena, Ark, president of the National Baptist Convention, during his recent visit, to this city suggested to us of the more prominent members of the denomination that Baltimore would be a five-place for the meeting of the two conventions of Baptists next September, the National Baptist Convention and the National Baptist Convention for the ratification of the peace agreement prepared and adopted by the Joint Peace Commission representing the two conventions of colored Baptists and Southern Baptist Convention (white) at the recent meeting held in Memphis, Tennessee. It is of the opinion ourselves that to hold the ratification Convention in this city where there are such a number of flourishing Baptist churches among our people, and the denomination has had such remarkable development and progress. The Baptists of our city we think should try to secure the position of our city, and of our citizens in our city, and all of our citizens should give the necessary aid and encouragement to bring this about and to make such a gathering not only in every way pleasant to those most intimately connected, but also helpful and inspiring to us all. We hope to near and see the coming of the congregation for the final healing of the breach which took place in Chicago in 1915. We hope our Baptist friends will get busy and see that it comes here. 368th INFANTRY Every man, woman and child of the race who witnessed the great military parade last Saturday could not but feel a pride in our country in being able not only to call together, but to train to such efficiency the men who have trained in the art of number numbers so trained, but especial pride in the remarkable showing made by the 368th Infantry composed of colored troops. The perfect carriage and marching—the correct lines—the soldierly bearing of these men called forth the admiration and the praise of the men who have come to the colored man's ability to make a good soldier. In all the cases in which he has been tried he has evinced the qualities that make a soldier, and proved his capability to bear arms in a way to bring credit to himself and the country he serves. Every man who has served in service and at the front they are providing by their efficiency that they are the kind of soldiers to bring victory to our arms and glory to our flag. Y. M. C. A. CORNER The Forum ARE WE AT THE END OF THE WORLD B₁ Having thus located ourselves as being now at the very end of the press, what must we expect next? Believing that God is His own interpreter we to His Word for the answer, and we find it. In Zephaniah 3:8, God drained the cup of His wrath. He will then "turn to the people a pure message (not the blind will be opened) call upon the name of the Lord to serve Him with one consent." "Then the eyes of the blind will be opened God's kingdom has truly come. Then which we so long have been praying, 'Thy kingdom come.' Then during things' (Acts 3:12) to follow, the sleeping billions of earth will be awakened and come forth from the earth done good, to a resurrection of life (perfection of being) and those that have done evil unto a resurrection by willing and obedient will then be permitted to enjoy life everlasting on a perfect earth, while all the disobedient of evil will be destroyed in the second Isa.

For others who do not know the truth and are suffering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of appetite. I was also attended me for some time, and I said I had tuberculosis. I was sent to the John Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Bayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as anywhere else. I also had a cough. Someone told me to try Dr. Campbell, the Lung Specialist, 1369 N. Carey Street, Baltimore, Md., as he was the best out on lungs. I went to him in company with my sister, weighing less than 95 lbs. I examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Easy Equipment and I went to him immediately. Thank God am living, and on November 17, 1917, I weighed and up the scale at 148 lbs. No one will believe now that I ever was sick in my life.

Sir William Ershaw Cooper the famous scientist says they do, here is what he says "The man who denies 'spiritualism' or the part of the spiritual body is capable of playing in our active, daily life because it remains unseen and is so far as he knows. Expandable, intangible, and unfurl is in the position of his sceptical prototype who a hundred years ago, desired the power of steam because its potentialities were hidded and developed. 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 strewn the world with many strange and wonderful devices, along has come to the foremost the spiritual unfoldment. As a matter of fact, the scriptures item with spiritual manifestations as to leave no doubt of communications between spirits and living people on earth. Scientists found that Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, India and other countries have experienced spiritual manifestations through their prophets, scars and large men. Not figuring 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 than beheaded in Western States. It is I find computed that considerably over twenty million of men and women in the civilized world are spiritualists. Many of them have wonderful charisma 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 Crooks, M. A. Oxon, Drs. Hodgson Myers, Gurney, Sidgwick Sir Oliver Lodge, and many others Illustrated in the annals of modern times testify to the truth of spiritual science. France sends a powerful contingent in such men as Dr. Fauci Gloiber, Allen Kardée, Prof. Charles Ribet, Col. DeRoches, Victorien Sardow, Theophile Gautier, Victor Hugo, Camile Flammarion, and many other famous people having investigated spiritualism generously give their testimony to the truth. In the United States, Belgium, Switzerland, Romania, and other countries have not fallen behind in their testimony for we find eminent 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.

Pressing For Posta -Margaret Black's Corner- NEW IDEAS--THE ESSENTIAL "Do something worth while," "Are you doing your bit?" Do you belong to the Red Cross Unit? "What are you doing to help out?" Are things we hear every day. One would think in these strenuous times one no has time to leaf. I think one of the greatest crimes on the human calendar is allowing one's self to grow "state" and get in a "rut." So many of us allow ourselves to get "into a rut, it is really not intentional. We are consciently doing our part, so far as we know it, and we are doing as we have been told to the best of our ability. We follow instructions or a daily routine so closely that we become mere machines, absorb our own power for the workings." Women are so prone to give up everything for the sake of their work. If she is an office worker, she begins by giving up her lunch hour, and then staying late at the office to do extra work, so that when she goes home, she is too tired to eat or in fact do anything else but go to bed. Then there is the new mother, she allows baby to rule her every that to the exclusion of self. She forgets or hasn't time to read a paper, go to a lecture or visit a friend or dress in the evening for father when he gets home. When baby is asleep, she rushes to do this and that before he awakes and when he is a year old she is so thin and so tired and worn out with his care, that she does not feel like being even pleasant. A man may possibly do his best without aid of new thots from the outside, but for women, new ideas and a new atmosphere are absolutely essential. No woman must stay all day at her desk, or all day at any kind of work, and expect to give the best that she in her. She should set aside some period in the day for absorbing new ideas. If you are an office worker go out of your room or if you bring your lunch than out for a walk, talk to some one else and listen to their opinion of things. There is no better method of trussing the mind than by conversation. Every one has different ideas on IN MEMORIAM GROOMES—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Mrs. Louise R.

Where sleeping withoutreaming, the one we could not save. In the house of fadeless beauty He is now a shining star, welling in the Holy City. With the Golden Gates ajar, time with all its changes amnot take you from our heart remember the loving care you took and us as life lasts, I will remem- ber his loving wife, Mrs. M. A.

KENNARD—in loving remembrance by the late Dr. Robert Kennard, April 24, 1975. may the heavenly winds blow softly or that sweet and hallowed spot old the changing scenes of life ou will never be forget.

I miss him more. s sleeps I leave him in peace to rest the parting was painful, but God knew best. the month of April once more is here, and most of the year causes it took from me away dear husband, forever to stay. different subjects, and though that idea may be a trivial one, some benefit is sure to be derived. Then there are the shops, there are a multitude of things to thrill and interest her there, and certainly in these days and times, when there is such a wealth of novelists in all departments, one need not to search very long for original ideas. It might seem like nonsense to suggest these things, but any woman will do better work, will benefit her employer more, and make better mothers and wives. The things themselves that have been noted may not be of any direct value to the firm for which the women work, or to the home, but invariably it will afford other suggestions which will help materially, and then again they will be of great value to the women who send value to one another. They regenerate life and interest, and interest is necessary for complete success in any line of work or play, and cannot be had if it is to be derived from one person only, for sooner or later all the ideas that one person has, will be absorbed—and new ideas are really the essential thing. Nowadays there are so many things to give one new ideas. The work of this great war and the results really strikes the woman the hardest, but in working for it she is so apt to neglect some other one thing that is really more essential. It is so easy to sacrifice oneself on the altar of duty, and become so engrossed with the one idea that we have forgot there is any other. “What are you doing this year?” “Oh, knitting for the soldiers,” or “Oh! merely having a glorious good time.” Needless to say one would become stale then lack of a legitimate number of amusements, but with all work and no play makes a dull boy,” the opposite argument is likewise true. To most persons the word “lecture” gives the idea of an evening wasted, whereas there are so many subjects from which to choose, that one may surely find something of interest—something to give one new ideas and KENNARD—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear mother, Mary Kennerd, who died April 3, 1916. Gone, but not forgotten. By her daughter, Manic Boyer. New Kent Co. Va., April 8—Rev. W. E. Brown departed this life April 2nd, 1918. His funeral took place at Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. Banks, D. D., and several other malt esters officiated. He had been pastor of Rising Mt. Zion Church for 21 years. A voice at midnight came. He started up to hear. A mortal air oppressed his frame. He fell, but felt no fear. By his son Edward Brown. SM'NDERS—In sad but loving memory of my dear loving wife, Mary E. Sanders, who departed this life 10 years and 10 months ago today, April 1, 1918. Loved in life, in death remembered. In the rest of her life. I wish to thank the many friends that have visited my brother, Edward F. Cole, during his illness at home, my friends desiring to may see him at the Municipal Hospital, where he was removed to on Easter Monday. Thanking you all again for your kindness.

Newspapers are perhaps the best medium thru which to supplement an education for one must have some idea of the "goings on" in the world. You would be surprised at the number of families that do not take either a newspaper or a magazine, and yet they wonder why their children must go to the public library or some neighbor's house for information, especially about current events. A woman informed me, once, that "Sunday newspaper was an invention of the devils and that no good was ever derived from reading newspapers generally." My opinion is that the person who can't bear to bother with newspapers or magazines is certainly lacking, or lazy. Which is it? Then there are the churches. Sarely no one should be so narrow as to have no interest in the manner and beliefs of other religious sects. There must be something in other denominations besides our own, or they would have no followers. We all have the privilege of absorbing new ideas unimoled. I saw in one of this week's papers, that a small Western town, had forbidden the teaching of German in any of the schools, had taken all the books, papers and magazines that had any reference to Germany whatever and destroyed them. We are sending our boys "over there" to fight. How will they be able to intercept messages, read wireless sent by the Germans or get any information whatever if they can't speak their language? They need to know all they can about the German language. If they know no language but theirs, any one could map out any plot of light under their eyes and they not know anything about it. Right now, the U. S. needs interpreters. All Europeans, be they so little educated, know something of the foreign languages, and yet even the best of us so-called Americans know a language other than our own, and they don't know that very well. Absorb new ideas—it is essential. Lillian A. Scott, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Scott was born January 4, 1963, died March 26, 1918. In the flower of her youth she passed away leaving her loved ones to grieve her departure. The family wishes to thank friends and relatives for their kindness during her illness and for the bandoneon design. Also thanking the Juviale Clever Givers of which she was president, at the Eton Baptist Church and the floral designs. A precious one from us has gone. The voice we loved is still A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. Bored. WILLIAM SPENCER JACKSON On Saturday, March 30, 1918 our beloved husband and father, William Spencer Jackson, who entered into rest on January 5, 1918, was held in his final resting place at Mt. Arthur Cemetery. The service was conducted by Rev. W. S. Thomas, and only the immediate family was present. Mrs. William Spencer Jackson and Family. GENES, THE COLONY, MAN IS 80 SACKBEE.

Hints for Housewives Flat irons should not be allowed to become red hot, for they will not retain the heat properly afterwards. Try newspaper for cleaning your gas stove. Keep it well rubbed every day with paper, and you will not need black-lead, which is very damaging to the cleanliness of pots and pans, and to the beauty of the hands which have to deal with them. That, by the way, is the point when will appeal to most cooks. Before sewing buttons on children's dresses, always stitch a piece of white tape on the wrong side. This makes a good foundation for the buttons and is a great time saver. To cut butter in small even squares for the table, use a coarse wet thread or cord, as this leaves no rugged edges. Save your red apple pailings. You can get a glass of jelly of the parings from two pies. When cutting new bread, heat your knife by dipping it in boiling water. In this way you can cut the thinnest bread from a new leaf easily. WHAT DID SHE DO? MARY JOHNSON'S HAIR Was Short and Kinky Now its Long and Fluffy She Used NOAH'S HAIR DRESSING Price See.

It is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Sebby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food: it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, creating a thick of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes thick hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasap. Quinasap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fuzzy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scair unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby-Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper—Advt. Peplar Hill, Md.; April 11—Rov. R. F.
