Ports Fom Various Districts Indicate Generous Response to the President's Appeal BALTIMORE IN LEAD Over Thousand Dollars Worth Sold at the Afro-American Office on Last Day. Then the West did its share, and in places like Chicago, st. Louis, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania, where large numbers have migrated to become workers in industrial plants, the colored people responded liberally. In Boston, New York city, Connecticut, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Steelton, Wilmington, where the colored workers have gone they did the handsome thing, according to reports. MARYLAND MOSSGREEN The District of Columbia well, and our own Maryland—well, it was there "with the goods." In the counties the colored people helped to swell the totals, and along with that subscribed in Baltimore city, the race lent Uncle Sam hundreds of thousands of dollars. One big concern in and around Baltimore, employs about 600 colored men. Every one subscribed, and the amount exceeded $30,000. The hundreds of colored men employed by such big firms as the Bethlehem Steel Company, Smith, Hauser and McIsaac Inc., and Riggs, Distler and Springer, came up nobby. Liberty Law buttons are being worn by thousands of colored Baltimoreans. Then there were the little fellows who swarmed the financial institution in the city with their subscriptions. One follow—Thomas H. Smith of 655 Sarnath—said a $16 bond was not enough for him, and he took a $100 certificate. "It is saving a litre of the money I usually waste," he said, "and besides, Uncle Sam needs it." His spirit characterized many, some of whom who had taken the other two sues. Over $4,000 was subscribed at a meeting held at Grace A. M. Church, Catonsville, last Friday night. Many fraternal and social organizations were in the procession, the Arch Social leading with $500 cash for a bond. The Afro-American office received quite a number of abscriptions, thus doing the same thing it did in the two previous campaigns. Many were the inquiries received at the Afro-American office, and some of the inquirers took their subscriptions direct to banks. The following amounts were subscribed thru the Afro-American office: Afro-American Co. $300 S. S. Booker 50 Lewis N. Frisby and wife 50 Rev. and Mrs. W. S.

Writing in last Saturday's Boston Transcript, P. H. Whaley, a Southern planner says that 30 cent cotton is proving to be the economic emancipator of the Negro. He says that never before in the states of South Carolina and North Carolina he hand and wear as prosperous as now, and that it will result in his becoming a more valuable citizen and one who is likely to excrete less hostility from the whites. After stating that so many Negroes have bought comobiles as to make so many Jim Crow highways, Mr. Whaley concludes: THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMROE, MD. FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1918 EMMET SCOTT GOING TO FRANCE? Rumor Circulated That Assistant to War Secretary is to be Accompanied by Baltimore Man Rumor has it that Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, will visit France in the near future to make a survey of conditions among the thousands of colored soldiers who have been sent "over there" to help crush the Kaiser. Though the rumor lacks verification, it is within the realm of possibilities. To Mr Scott has been committed the task of looking after the interest of colored soldiers and straightening out various tangles, that being his special field as assistant to the Secretary of War. With a ripe experience as confidential aide to the later Booker T. Washington, combined with wealthful knowledge of men and officers, Mr. Scott has filled his mission with signal ability. To him, more than any man, has been due the lessened friction which might have come with the induction of thousands of colored men into the army. Secretary Baker has shown a commendable interest and fairness in dealing with colored soldiers. Between the fires of prejudiced whites on one hand, the plea of the friends of the race on the other that fair treatment be meted out and the insistence of the colored people themselves for fair play, he has striven to do the many thing. During his recent visit to France he had talks with the stevedore and other colored regiments and evinced a keen interest in the welfare of the men. BALTIMOREAN MAY GO ALSO? It is also rumored in some quarters that one of the most prominent public school teachers in Baltimore may accompany Mr. Scott. This teacher is a man of ability and strength of character and would prove a valuable aid on such a mission. When approached by a representative of the Afro-American as to the authenticity of the report, he said he had no such man. "It is the first I have heard of it," he said, "and if it were true I could not divulge government business. I would like to know where such a report originated." petty prejudices which have heretofore dominated them. It is unfortunate that many people confuse the problem of Negro uplift and consider it a movement for the better. There is no such thing as social equality even among the whites and there is no village in the whole South so small that some family in it does not consider itself a little too good to mix generally with other families. There is no such thing to introduce the colored race en masse into the parlores of the whites or to encourage intermarriage. What friends of the Negro have demanded is that he be given a fair chance and a square deal and not be hit on the head with a knife or a disposition to rise. You cannot sledge-hammer men who are bringing real bales of cotton into market and getting real money for them at the rate of something more than thirty cents the pound. Such person of substance, people whose friendship it is desirable for merchants to have, people the banks like to deal with. "Cotton are king and I is got it." an ignorant old Alabama planter used to boost before the war Lincoln is dead and the war of the war it is thirty-cent cotton, a miracle worker of the first degree, a conqueror of prejudice and a winner of rights Political Rights Forgotten Economic Rights Paramount They say now that the "South is coming into its own." It is certainly leaping ahead in prosperity, as are all other sections of the country, but this time the prosperity is not confined to the whites alone. It is universal and general. What are the probable political effects of visualize, but certain aspects of the situation are becoming more clear. In general, the factors all appear to be working in favor of a gradual, but certain acquisition of political power by the Negro, although he will not hold together as a unit and be voted in a herd. He is not very busy, in fact, and is just now for he has begun to feel the thrill of economic independence and he is going to get his feet firmly planted on the ground before he begins "agitating." WILLIAM STANLEY BRANTHWAITE Winner of Spingarn Medal Has Achieved Unusual Success --- William Stanley Erathwaite, who was last Friday night awarded the fourth Spinning Medal at Providence, R. I., has been credited by critical students of literature with having been largely responsible to the renewed interest in American poetry. Writing his critical essays for the Boston Evening Transcript since 1903, he has been able to keep constantly before the public the merits of many poetical compositions. He is a poet himself. 1904 published his *Life and love*, a small volume of poems and in 1908, "The House of Falling Leaves." His "Anthology of Magazine Verse," published annually since 1913, is regarded as an authoritative volume. He became editor of the "Poetry Review in 1916. He has edited the "The Book of Elizabethan Verse," "The Book of Georgian Verse," and "The Book of Restoration Verse." He is the general editor of "The Contemporary American Poets Series," which is to be issued in twelve volumes. The most recent publication from his pen is the Poetic Year, a collection of a series of articles written for the Boston magazine during 1916-17. Mr. Erathwaite is regarded as one of the foremost American critics, regardless of race. His contributions to high class magazines and the able articles he has written for the Transcript have made him widely and favorably known. A LIFE OF STRUGGLE Despite his ability, Mr. Braithwaite has had to struggle to win recognition, a thing which becomes doubly hard in this country when the man has African blood in his veins. While pursuing his work, the economic struggle has been hard, and it is only recently that he has made the case for liking the emojis that should be his. His home is in Cambridge, Mass. In reviewing Braithwaite's "Anthol- --- DAY NURSERY FACES GRAVE CRISIS Forced to Close Unless the charitably inclined people of Baltimore come to the aid of the Day Nursery, this much needed institution will go to the wall. This statement must be made by Mrs. Jannie Pissarro, president of the institution to a reporter of the Afro-American. For the past five or six years this institution has done a noble work, looking after the little children of parents who have to earn their living by working out. The children are brought to the nursery in the morning from babys-in-arms, to six or seven years of age. Here they are under trained supervision, the babies are bathed and fed, and of the older tots, some find interesting and instructive play under the guidance of an ever watchful matron, while others go to school, coming back to the nursery at dinner time, as other children go to their homes. For this daily care the parents pay the small sum of 10 cents, which does not pay for the food the child eats, much less the expenses necessarily incurred. Thus, forty mothers are enabled to earn for themselves, the while feeling as if the children are being properly cared for. And happy indeed are these forty mothers, when, after their work is done; they stop at the Nursery and carry their little ones back to their homes. This work has been supported largely by the endeavors of a small band of women, who have worked incessantly to make ends meet. In ory of Magazine Verse for 1915." Edward J. O'Brien, writing in the Saturday Evening Post, credits the critic-poet for the revival of interest in American poetry. Asserting that Braithwaite's Anthology for 1915 is one that gives abiding impression "or confidence in our American lyric future," Mr. O'Brien goes on to say: PRAISE FOR ERAITHWAITE "I suppose no one who surrenders himself to the best poetry that is in this volume will find it possible, if he has any imaginative sympathy whatever, to deny the invaluable service that Mr. Braithwaite is performing in American life. Were it only a service to poetry, he would deserve a great deal from his contemporaries. But the simple fact is that against every obstacle, including the greatest obstacles of all, public indifference, he has cooperated with the Boston Transcript in making American poetry an American audience. "I have found that American editors and critics, not to mention American poets, almost without exception, place the responsibility for the renaissance of American poetry almost at the door of Mr. Braithwaite and the Boston Transcript. For twelve years he has made American poetry his one and labored unselfishly and without immediate reward for its artistic and material redemption. With the publication of this year's (1915) Anthology, we must at last admit his completely successful author." Mr. O'Reilly concludes by saying that Mr. Braithwaite has covered "the ground thoroughly and with authority." "The Listener," commenting in the Boston Transcript, also credited Mr. Braithwaite with being responsible for the revival of interest in contemporary American poetry. this they have been aided for several years by an advisory committee of white women, who employed Mrs. S. C. Fernandis as a social worker and engaged rooms at the Nursery. The money received from the rest of the rooms and the aid given by Mrs. Fernandis helped greatly to carry on this work. Now that the white people have taken away their help, and Mrs. Fernandis has resigned her position, the association will have to depend entirely upon the colored people not only to carry on the work, but to pay a balance of $400 due on the building. A campaign for $1,500 will begin shortly and it is not only hoped but expected that the people of this city will rally to the call for so needy a cause. HORACE SLATTER DEAD Nashville, Tenn., May 8. -Horace D. Slatter, the well known newspaper correspondent, died last Saturday at the Davidson County Tuberculosis Hospital, where he had been a patient since last February. The deceased was stricken with the disease about three years ago. His wife also had the malady but she succumbed. Slatter struggled hard to overcome the disease. Friends in various parts of the country sent him money. Improvement was noted for a time, but it did not last. The home of the dead newspaper man was in Hopkinsville, Ky. He was widely known, especially in the South, as one of the most capable newspaper reporters that the race has produced. He had reported a number of big gatherings for the most important journals in the South. "SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE" Easton, Md.

Wortham Dies Suddenly Rev. Plummer W. Wortham, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church and one of the best known ministers in Maryland, died at his home early Tuesday morning, following an illness that had only lasted since last Saturday. His death came as a distinct shock to his host of friends, he having been out attending to his pastoral duties up until the day he was taken ill. It was only last Thursday that he had his hair cut and clawed cheerily with his barber. The same day he remarked to Rev. Joseph L. Butler that had he not promised to preach for him at West Rotton Park the Sunday following, that he would be at Kittrell College, Kittrell, N. C. to hear Bishop J. Albert Johnson preach the baccalaureate sermon. He did not preach for Rev. Butler, being ill last Sunday. The engagement that kept him in Maryland prevented him from being taken sick and dying in his native state—North Carolina. His patrol at St. John's Church was killed last Sunday by Rev. James C. Martin, presiding elder of the Baltimore district. It was not until the A. M. E. ministers held their weekly meeting on Monday that it became was gravely ill. Revs. S. M. Johnson, C. J. McLaddy and R. E. Ford were appointed a committee to visit his home. They learned that he was in a state of coma. That afternoon he lapsed into unconsciousness.

Kittrell College honored him with the degree of doctor of divinity. For the past 21 years Dr. Wortham had been a member of the Baltimore Conference. One of these years he spent as a presiding elder, and the remainder were spent in the pastorate. He had served at St. Paul, Washington; Cumberland, Annapolis, Payne Memorial, this city, and had just completed three years as pastor of St. John's Church. He is survived by a widow, who was children also survive. Funeral services will be held at St. John's Church this Friday at one P. M.

The commencement of the theological department was held during the morning of the same day. The commencement week may be regarded as having started last Saturday, when the annual freshman-sophomore debate was pulled off.

The affirmative was taken by George B. Winston, Frank T. Wilson and Miller W. Boyd, while Francis L. Atkins, Eugene W. Rhodes and Joseph N. Hill, the last-named from Maryland, took the negative. President John B. Rondall preached the baccalaureate sermon to the collegians Sunday and Rev.

Upon their arrival at the grove, the excursionists noted the extensive improvements that have been made and it is expected that this season will be the best in the history of the popular resort.

JONES SPEAKS HERE That the present world war had brought the American Negro into a larger and more important relation of things economic, political and social was the view taken by Rev. Dr. Robert E. Jones, of New Orleans, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, during the course of an address at St. Paul M. E. Church on Friday evening of last week.

Toots Davis and Ed. Stafford have made the biggest hit of any colored artists who have ever visited Baltimore. The act is a novelty from start to finish and it is popular with both the white and colored patrons of the theatre.

SERVICE FLAG UNFURLED The part that the Negro is playing in the present world war, and his opportunity to share in the results of the victory that will come to the Allies were emphasized at the exercises presenting a service flag last Sunday afternoon in honor of St. Barnabas Catholic Church, who have entered the service of Uncle The exercises were held in the lecture room of the church and were largely attended. Seated on the stage were Rev. Edward H. Murpure, sister of the Rev. William F. Father Butch, Dr. William Pickens, who delivered the principal address: Charles F. Woodland, who presided several soldiers and navy men and a number of others. Llewellyn Curtis Carpenter and George Llewellyn Johnson were expected to return to Camp Meade earlier than expected. In presenting the flag to the church, Father Butch said that his contribution numerically, but one of quality, 1900 years ago, a similar event occurred, he said, when Jesus Christ came on earth to save men. He said the present war gave colored people a great opportunity, of it with other elements of the population. He praised the Catholics for their big showing in espousing the cause of Uncle Sam and the Allies and assured other economists doing their shape. Denn Pickens declared that the war meant much for the Negro in that it had already emancipated him from some of his economic bondage and gave him broader fields of endeavor. He said that 1,000,000 native sons of Africa are engaged on the front of Allies and on the ground in war that the colored young men of America are playing as soldiers and army officers. "Not one, but 500 kaisers will be kicked," he said, "and the Negro will play a glorious part in the struggle for democracy." Father Murphy blessed the flag and it was accepted for the church by Gabriel B. Maddox. Howard Payne received a honor from Miss Ella R. Browne recited Paul Lawrence Dunbar's "The Colored Soldier." Musical numbers were given by Miss Anita Williams, Miss H. Williams, Mrs. Teresa Stewart, Mrs. Anna Hazelton Lee, Nelson Tunstall and Maurice Buller.

GREGORY ON JUDGE LYNCH there no room for a substantial distinction, that the lawless German autocrat who shoots victims in Belgium and the lawless Aristotle who hangs unarmed civilians in Austria are the words of Mr. Gregory, Assistant of the United States, spoken to the most American Bar Association, and they conventional count in the indictment which acts of the mob which lynched Prager. The mob violence—deplorable at all time really so when its object leads it to a direction of the aims of the United States—is very clearly set forth. A. Gregory believes that many lawless from a belief that the Government is not adequately with spies or pro-Germans; that the reverse is the case. While the man will probably be found to be that the man has not distinguished itself very briefly, this gives not the slightest excuse which by its action nullifies that which the Government to accomplish."—I will this is about lynching a supposed general hundred Negroes have been lynched of Tennessee recently. We have seen General Gregory has had to say about has been equally silent. Fear of reprisal will possibly prevent any further Germans. "I see no room for a substantial distinction between the lawless German autocrat who shoots non-combatants in Belgium and the lawless American democrat who hangs unarmed civilians in America." "These are the words of Mr. Gregory, Attorney General of the United States, spoken to the members of the American Bar Association, and they constitute an additional count in the indictment which all good Americans have drawn up against actions as that of the mob which lynched Prager. The case against mob violence—deplorable at all times, but especially so when its object leads it to a direct contradiction of the aims of the United States in the war—is very clearly set forth. war—is very clear. "Mr. Gregory believes that many lawless acts arise from a belief that the Government is not dealing adequately with spies or pro-Germans; but asserts that the reverse is the case. While the general opinion will probably be found to be that the Government has not distinguished itself very brilliantly in this work, this gives not the slightest excuse to the mob, which by its action nullifies that which it calls called on the Government to accomplish."—News Now all this is about lynching a supposed alien white man. Several hundred Negroes have been lynched, several in the State of Tennessee recently. We have seen nothing Attorney-General Gregory has had to say about these, and the News has been equally silent. Fear of reprisals on the part of Germany will possibly prevent any further lynchings of subject Germans. ```markdown ``` WHY NOT GIVE US AN ANSWER? form of protests aroused by General War No. 35 has as yet failed to elicit any department. Protests from every part of the nation sent to Secretary of War Baker as a gift, his assistant, but as yet there has been no indication just where the War Department came to this unusual order. Once give consent in this instance? Does the sanction an order that the colored men of the army loses the protection of the law rights? Does the War Department need to assume that hundreds of thousands of people, are engaging in a war for the prize in which they can have no part? I believe, however, that the black people given an assurance from an authoritative 35, however well-intentioned, was, to say, giving our fathers, sons and brothers all continue to give them—cheerfully to the last one has gone if needs be—until distracted to Germany and her allies mean right. We, like other peoples, war fathers, sons and brothers, need each with in the ultimate outcome might not notice the fight today is against a foreign enemy conceivable means to destroy our fraternity any part of its own citizenry. When "over there" to help crush that enemy, peace of mind and cheerfulness of spirit to bring out the best in them. A feeling prescribed against will not bring about malice—neither will Order No. 35. We continue to petition the War Department construction upon Order No. 35. The storm of protests aroused by General Ballou's famous Order No. 35 has as yet failed to elicit a word from the War Department. Protests from every part of the country have been sent to Secretary of War Baker as well as to Emmett Scott, his assistant, but as yet there has been no public word to indicate just where the War Department stands Preference to this unusual order. Does silence give consent in this instance? Does the War Department sanction an order that the colored citizen upon entering the army loses the protection of the law in his citizenship rights? Does the War Department mean to leave the world to assume that hundreds of thousands of Americans, loyal and true, are engaging in a war for the prevalence of a democracy in which they can have no part? We believe not. We believe, however, that the black people of America should be given an assurance from an authorative source that Order No. 35, however well-intentioned, was, to say the least, indiscreet. We are giving our fathers, sons and brothers in this war and we shall continue to give them—cheerfully and willingly until the last one has gone if needs be—until it has been clearly demonstrated to Germany and her allies that might does not mean right. We, like other peoples, who are also giving their fathers, sons and brothers, need encouragement, that our faith in the ultimate outcome might not waver. America's fight today is against a foreign enemy, who is using every conceivable means to destroy our freedom, and not against any part of its own citizenry. When the black soldiers go "over there" to help crush that enemy, let them go with that peace of mind and cheerfulness of spirit that are necessary to bring out the best in them. A feeling that they are being prescribed against will not bring about that peace and cheerfulness—neither will Order No. 35. Let us continue to petition the War Department to put an official construction upon Order No. 35.

In the readjustment that The commencement season is one and amid the strain of things due to the war the populace will stop and pay attention to the graduate. Howard and Lincoln Universities held their commencements this week, the earlier closing being due to the war. The broader opportunities that the world war has brought to the race means that trained leaders will be an absolute necessity. The increased economic opportunities and the growing intelligence of the race makes the necessity doubly apparent. Brain and money and brawn will be necessary for the winning of the war. In the readjustment that is to follow the victory against Germany, the highest intelligence will be needed by the race in directing sociological, economic and civic opportunities, and especially in bringing about that status of things which will mean that a man will not be considered because of race, but because they should be treated without class distinctions and as are other people. Therefore, we hail the season of the commencement. In endeavoring to show how popular base ball was in a certain town a newspaper item stated there were 20,000 persons present. It failed to state, however, that there were over six hundred thousand people in that very town who did not attend the base ball game.

While hands on the Sermon Perhaps, but few people realize how hard it is in this country to achieve real distinction on other ground than simply being a Negro. They do not realize what means the sneer "that is a good achievement for; a Negro." The success of such men as Dr. Dubois, Kelly Miller, Dr. Daniel H. Williams, Benjamin Brawley, George E. Haynes, James Weldon Johnson, Harry T. Burleigh and William Stanley Braithwaite is not due to the fact that they are colored men, but that they can measure arms with the best of any race. It is, therefore, a gratifying thing that William Stanley Braithwaite, who received the fourth Spingarn Medal last Friday night, is regarded as one of the leading book reviewers and authorities on contemporary literature in this country. That this man, handicapped by the accident of race, should be credited with the leading of a movement that has resulted in the revival of interest in contemporary American poetry is a tribute to sheer ability. His success indicates that, more and more, colored men are to be reckoned as forces outside the sphere of their own race. We once heard a well known physician of this city assert that "there are some people with souls so small that ten thousand of them could dance a quadrill on the point of a cambric needle." We that he was rather extravagant in his remarks at the time, but when in reading the Baltimore newspaper's account of the sinking of the steamer "City of Athens" and the heroic deeds of some of the survivors we were compelled to believe the good doctor was not far from being right. The Associated Press dispatch account of the wreck contained a statement of Mrs. Florence Pickhard Harrison, (which will be found quoted in another column) in which she credits a colored fireman with saving the life of her baby, herself and two others, adding at the close of her statement: "That brave Negro deserves a hero's medal. Not a single Baltimore paper conained this statement, altho the dispatch was otherwise verbatim that of some of the Northern newspapers. We are almost inclined to believe that the doctor's animad version hardly went far enough. Judging from the tone of certain newspapers the flying machine men are in for a nice clean coat of whitewash. One is puzzled greatly in these days, when reading all the reasons why the Sabbath should be given over to base ball golf, tennis and other sports, why the Great Creator ever gave us the Fourth Commandment. Judging from the reasons He gives for keeping the Sabbath and the reasons these very solicitous newspapers give the Lord really new very little about what He was talking. Would it be a bad idea for us to turn the Ten Commandments over to the Baltimore newspapers for revision? Perhaps these Commandments are out of date and the newspapers—great Oraclees—could vastly improve on them. Why not give the matter a trial. While they are about it they might try their hands on the Sermon on the Mount, the Golden Rule, etc. "INNOCENT UNTI PROVED GUILTY" criticisms were made this week in reference published in the Afro-American concern against James Bautnm, principal of Waec.

Ordinarily it would be unnecessary to answer these criticisms, but it is an opportunity for the Afro American to again state the principles for which it stands. The Afro-American seeks to publish the truth, adn the fact that it has built up a large circulation would seem to indicate that it has the confidence of the people. Its main object is to build not to crush. Its interest in any happening is confined mainly to its news value. And above all things, it assumes that a man "is innocent until proved guilty." The criticism as expressed by the writer in the Sun must be attributed to the writers ignorance of newspaper principles. As to the other criticism, while it might have been an assumption on the part of the reporter to say that the principal was popular with the teachers—if any of them knew that the principal was conducting himself other than a gentleman they were equally guilty if they failed to report the same. The Afro-American is not interested in the case of Mr. Bantum only in so far as it regrets that charges of such a nature should be presented against him. We would have only the same interest if the person happened to be either of our critics. We are not disposed to try the case before the court has had a chance to render a decision. HUNGER For three years America has fought starvation in Belgium Will you Eat less-wheat meat-fats and sugar that we may still send food in ship loads? UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION A WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS The Union of The Cumberland Press Lyterian And The Presbyterian Church U. S. A. Declared Some years ago, by proper ecclesiastical action on the part of both of these religious denominations, a union was effected by which the two bodies were merged into one, such merger carrying with it the control and ownership of local church buildings and property—educational institutions, endowments, etc. Notwithstanding this action many of the members of the Cumberland Church refused to recognize the union and contended that it was not in the jurisdiction of the general assemblies of the two churches to vote such action as they did in bringing about the consolidation of the two denominations. Out of this contention grew many law suits in as many states, and for a number of years since the action of the assemblies we have had union without uniting, many local churches keeping the old Cumberland name and refusing to come under the government and control of the general assembly of the Presbyterian of the U.S. Court decided the decision of U.S. Court just included down affects the alligation arising from the merger in the states Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Arkansas, California, Oklahoma and Iowa. so that now it may be expected that union will be indeed as well as in name and that there will be no further contention against the power of the governing bodies of the merged churches to transfer ownership of local church buildings and property and college buildings and properties. NO UNION OF THE M. E. and SOUTHERN M. E. CHURCHES A recent dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., where the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South is now being held it is stated that the commission of that church on unification reported "that the Southern Church could never unite" with the Northern Church until that body sets apart its Negro membership into a separate church." This report, if adopted by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church will doubtless settle for some time to come the question of organic union between these two great branches of the Methodist family. For it is hardly conceivable that the great Methodist Episcopal Church (North) would seek or desire union upon such a condition or by making any such concession to their Southern brethren. It seems to us that the question of setting apart the three hundred thousand or more Negro members of the Methodist Episcopal Church (North) without their consent or church, without their consent or desire to be so apart will not receive very serious consideration. The attitude of the Methodist Episcopal Church (North) toward its Negro membership for quite fifty or more years, the great growth of that church among the Negro people in this country during these years, and the marked progress and development of that membership in knowledge of the church's doctrines and policy, as well as their evident efficiency in church management and the most important facets of general knowledge of the church that preclude any entertainment of a proposition so unfair, unjust, and certainly at variance with Christian principles and Christ's teachings and is to say the least, unaccepting and unworthy of Christian men. We can see how some advantages might be gained and some efficiency increased by and through organic union of the two great Methodist families and in fact by all churches of the same faith and order; but surely not at the sacrifice of Christian principles and contrary to and at variance with the plain teachings of our Lord. Where a union of churches cannot be willingly and harmoniously effected on the basis of the church standards pure and simple, such a union will bring to the united churches but few if any increased advantages, and add nothing to their efficiency in bringing about the effect which the church has established world among men likely to lead mankind to a knowledge of the truth as it centers in Jesus Christ the Lord and Redeemer of our nature, and bring men to acknowledge, confess and own Him as Saviour Redeemer Lord and God. Why the Negro—a man for whom Christ died, as He died for other men, purchased by His blood—redeemed by the virtue of His sacrificial life, as well as by His death—pardoned of his sin and accepted as righteous in God's sight only for the righteousness of Christ imputed unto him, and received by faith alone, should not be received, welcomed and made to feel that he is in the heart that bears the name of Christian is among the most inconsistent and unreasonable things that some professed Christians and so-called Christian Churches do. The Methodist Episcopal Church (South) has for a number of years been most deeply interested in Africa missions and has given large sums of money for the upkeep of its mission compounds or stations among African Negroes, and sent as missionaries among those people some of its most consecrated men and women. It has vied with other missionaries in large things for the Negro in Africa—but cannot tolerate the American Negro into its church membership. How inconsistently does that inexplicable and despicable American race prejudice make some good people act. But such inconsistent actions are by no means continued to our brethren of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church. It may be found and seen in the action of some our Southern Methodist Church. We recall an incident in our own experience some years ago when pastoring a church in this city. There was a returned missionary from Africa of the Southern Church of our own faith and order. He was a colored man, and had been in charge of a mission station or compound of his church in Africa, in which there were several white missionaries, one of whom, a member of a very prominent Alabama family, the son of a distinguished jurist and honorable judge of that state, had sickened and died at the station. In his illness he was nursed and cared for by the colored missionary in the way that not only endeard him to the black man, but won for him as well the gratitude of his family and friends here in America, and the appreciation and esteem of the denomination. This returned Negro missionary was used by the Foreign Mission Board of his church to speak in the white churches of the denomination in the interest of its African missions and to tell the story of his white companion's illness and death; which he did in a most thrilling and effective manner. Arrangements were made to have him come to Baltimore and speak in the two leading churches of his denominations. Prior to his coming the pastor of one of these churches came to us with the request that we secure a place for the missionary's entertainment at his expense, and that we secure for him an opportunity to speak in the afternoon to a colored audience at one of our largest churches. Our answer to the request was that we would be pleased to entertain the missionary in our own room with our greeting, to come to any one and that we would arrange for him to speak to one of the largest colored congregations in the city at 3 P. M., as he would be used in the two white churches morning and evening, which we did. THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN The Third Liberty Loan was generously over subscribed throughout the country, and with a larger number of individual purchasers and subscribers, than there was to either the first or the second loan. This is most gratifying indeed, and shows that the people of the United States are over the money as well as with their men, that they are to the end—to the end that gives vicinity our side. It is with pride that we refer to the fact that our dear old state and beloved city were not harrages. The state with a number of banks yet to hear from "going over the top" with eight million dollars in excess of its apportionment, and Baltimore city with an access above the minimum quota of over four million-dollars. Our own people and a large hand in helping to bring about this grand result, and this is especially pleasing to us. There is no way of telling exactly the amount of bonds they purchased and subscribed for, but we know their response to the country's call was both general and generous. They purchased and subscribed for every two thousand dollars worth of Third Liberty Loan Bonds at the Afro-American office, and this was only one of the many authorized and accredited agencies where their subscriptions were sought and purchases solicited. The loyalty patriotism and identity of our people to their country is not to be questioned nor doubted. They are a true and tried people, and in every emergency of our nation may be depended upon to do their full duty and some. May 20, 1938 Fixed As Red Cross Week by President Wilson's Proclamation. The American people by this proclamation are called upon to contribute the second one hundred million dollars war fund of the American Red Cross "for the alleviation of suffering among the American troops in France and their dependents at home and in the district fighting forces and civilian populations in countries." The war fund contributed in 1917 by the American people to the American Red Cross has been practically exhausted says the President "by appropriations for the welfare of the men who are in the service" and those dependent upon them, and for the more urgent necessities of the men, in the reason as well as that the necessity for them along the well approved lines of the American Red Cross work is even greater than before and must be continued, and that "the morale of our own troops and the troops and peoples of --- FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1918. our allies will be maintained by such "a manifestation of effort and sacrifice on the part of those who are of the same spirit, purpose and determination with our warriors," the people of the country are called upon to make this second generous contribution to aid the Red ross. We have no doubt that there will be a hearty and most liberal response to this call and plea and the Red cross will be added to the extent asked—The patriotism and Liberality of the American people we are sure will not break down under the demands made up it, and the patriotic and loyal people of every class of our citizens will avail themselves of this new opportunity to render help where it is much needed, and through an organization whose management and conduct of relief work in these war times has been so satisfactory. Our own people will not be lacking in doing their part in response to this call and plea and the sharkers from no good job to true in spirit and in purpose, and determination to help in every way to win this war. A large number of our people" used the Red Cross at the time if the president last December; or whether they have been and are organized into Red Cross chapters or not, we are not prepared to say; but we suggest that if there is no organization among them the American Red Cross that such an organization or connection be formed at once if the largest and most satisfactory results from them are achieved and expected during the Cross Week. We help every good and worthy cause presented to us whether we are connected or identified with it or not, but in this struggle for world democracy, which all are asked to do their part there seems no reason why all who are able and willing to help should not be united in effort and endeavor. No few people can manage and maintain all the organizations at work in the stress of these war times. The many must and should have a part and there should be an organization of the people as can the most effectively induce them to give the help that will supply the need. JUDGE TERRELL SWORN IN Highly Honored by Members of The Bar and His associates on Washington, D. C., May 4.—This day will long be memorable in the annals of the Afro-American people as it marks a distinct advance of the race in a department of the Government in which it has not had much opportunity to serve and to distinguish itself. It is a very far cry from the opinion of Chief Justice Roger L. Tuney, in Dred Scott, Vs. Sanford, in 1856, that "It is held to be good law and public opinion that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect," to the swearing in by a Federal Judge of a colored man, for the fifth term, to be a Federal Judge of the District of Columbia. The Tuney decision is made all the more impressive in the glaring reversal of law and public opinion which has come over the Nation by the fact that Judge Terrell has been twice appointed by a Democratic President and twice confirmed by a Democratic Senate, and that he has served with conspicuous success, and continuously, in the same Federal Judges' departments for sixteen years and a half. The record is a highly creditable one to the Judge, and paves the way for the race in its efforts to make a place for itself in the judiciary of the country. Immediately after being sworn in Judge Terrell was confronted in his Chambers by his associates on the Bench, by a number of ladies, by a large number of friendly attorneys who practice before his Court, and by the members of the Washington Lawyers Association. His Chambers were crowded. Mr. Royal Hughes, president of the Association arose, while the Judge sat in a bower of flowers, and made a feeling address of congratulations and felicitation, on the part of his associates, and then, in their name presented the Judge with an elaborate bouquet resigned by Dowell, and a handsome leather brief case. Judge Terrell made an eloquent and feeling address, in which he spoke in the height of the form of his associates on the bench, and of the members of the Bar who practice in his Court. He also said he considered the occasion as a milestone, marking a long distance from 1856, when the race had no legal status. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the famous wife of the Judge, was called upon by Hon. James A. Cobb, and spoke feelingly of the appreciation in which her husband is held by his associates on the Bench and at the Bar. The ladies present were: Mrs. Terrell and their daughter Mary, Mrs. Arthur Brooks, Mrs. Walter Singleton, Miss Jeanne Carter, and Mrs. George Burrell, of Philadelphia. It was a famous occasion, one to inspire the Afro-American people in labor and the need for the higher and more personal life. We have had no other occasion just like it before in the history of the race, but the opening having been made, we are sure we shall have many more as the tolls, serpentine years come and go.

BURNS & RUSSELL CO., BRICKYARD DUNDALK JUNCTION Take Sparrows Point Car "DESERVES A HERO MEDAL" Sixty-six persons lost their lives when the steamship City of Athens bound from New York to Savannah was rammed and sunk by a French cruiser. Among the many heroic deeds recounted by the survivors, the following is told by Mrs. Florence Prichard Harrison, whose father is president of the Mercer University, Macon, Ga. Awakened from her sleep, Mrs. Harrison barely had time to put a coat over her nightness and hurry to the deck with her child. "I saw a lifeboat," she said, "but no one was paying any attention to it, except a United States marine, who lifted the baby into the boat. "I was about to climb in with his aid when the vessel topped and my grasp on the gunwale slipped. I caught up the baby as the ship sank under the waters. When I came up choking and almost unconscious from the water with the little one in my arm, we were directly under the bow of the boat. "A man whom I afterward learned was James Wallace, of 221 William St. Savannah, lifted the baby from my arm, and I gained my form from my arm. I found myself in the lifeboat covered with a piece of canvas which I wrapped around the baby. My coat and nightgown were torn from the struggle to drag me in. After that Wallace rescued one marine and a civilian. That brave Negro deserves a hero's medal." Thurston, the magician, with new magic, conjuring and colloquy, illusions, and all that similar entertainment connotes will be the attraction at Ford's week commencing Monday, the 16th, midweek Wednesday and Saturday. We do love mystery! And in this we are like all other people of all other times. The best magicians of modern times was Herrmann, who by his cleverness, by his skillful successor is Thurston. This savve and agreeable gentleman magician does not dress like an East Indian, nor an Oriental fakir. Indeed, he seems at first only a persuasive, nicely groomed man, but he is the knowledge of the rare quality of his performance is unseen. He piles wonder upon wonder. When you are least prepared. To catalog Thurston's new program is hardly necessary; his reputation is made and the knowledge of the rare quality of his performance is unseen. Most of Thurston's new mysteries for this year deal with life in the afterword such as the materialization of ghosts and the manifestations of spirits. Chief among his big effects is the ability to conjure and manifest a sensational race between an automobile and motorcycle. Miss Lillie Mae Norris, of 218 W.

For others who do not know the truth and are suffering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of flesh. Our own physician Dr. Mace attended me for some time, and asked me 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 went down until I weighed only 96 lbs. Someone told me to try to eat a healthy diet. In 1969 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 96 lbs. He examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Base Treatment, and I started to change for the third time. I lived, and on November 17, 1917, I weighed and tip the scale at 143 lbs. No one will believe now that I ever was sick in my life. I know several others Dr. Campbell cured of the same trouble, and those who are suffering with the same trouble should know where they can best be helped. Mrs. Bertha I.

There has been a medal for bravery awarded to your son and you are very proud of it, and there has been another medal awarded to John Smith for saving two children from drowning, but he did not wait for the medal to be pinned on him. Where did he go I wonder? Did you get tired of waiting, or didn't you even think of ever getting a medal at all? What did you do, take a flying machine and fly away and lose yourself somewhere in the wide wide world because you did not know you were a hero? Some people don't. Do you know who I would give medals to if I had them to bestow? I'll tell you where I would look first of all. I'd go into one of the big department stores after night after every one had gone home, and I would follow the bridege of scubwomen and find out something about them. Did you ever watch one of them crawling around the floor? They remind you of a mass of worms. They creep, creep, creep for hours and scrub, scrub, scrub, until the sound of the brushes on the noir remind you o' a loured wagon crawling along a muddy road, the constant sound of the brush, then the dab into the bucket of water, then the splash strikes the floor gives you the creeps as you watch, and sees creeps around her hands and knees, scrubbing away in the cold and heat and wet and grime till you wondered she didn't he down somewhere and die just to get out of it. I'd pick out the woman who was laughing and jollying the rest along and follow her to her home, late at night—and I'd follow her to her humble little home way back in some little street or alley that perhaps you never even heard of. But it would be as sweet and clean as soap and water could make it, and I would see her quietly into bed to keep from waking the children, and then getting up early in the morning to get their breakfast so as to get them off to school in time; and after they were gone if I saw her mending and darning and scheming to make ends meet so the children need not be ashamed to go to school, and she was convicting some way to get a dress for Mary to graduate in so she would not look different from the other girls in the class, and Alice could have the little dress to wear; also it was made of one of Mary's old ones I would not go any further to look for someone for the first medal. You see daddy was called in the draft and mother had to economize, and the only way she can keep all the children in school and make ends meet is to work at night and be at home in the day-time. Then I would go down town and hunt for a girl who was helping to keep the widowed and almost invaded mother and two sisters and a small brother so mother would not have to worry any more than possible, and the children could stay in school, and I would look in the law offices and stores among the clerks and matrons and moeels until I found her. I would follow her home also and if I found that she brought to mother that she so much loved, and that she so much loved, and that she so much loved blouse she wanted and to James that pair of shoes he had to have without a that as to the skirt and shoes she so much needed herself I would pin my other medal on her without a minutes hesitation. Then I would start out again to look BABY'S TRAY CLOTH The nearest tray cloth or table-cloth protector for baby who dines with the family is made from white-thread oil cloth, but so covered with its own slip cover of heavy white crush or cotton or mercerized table linen or the best parts of an old table cloth that you did not know what to do with, as to be concealed from sight. Two pieces of the goods are sown together along their edges so that there is a sheen on the cloth. One will be of little avail unless every day is wash-day. This little is necessary in sixes to say the least. THE FADDY OLD MAID Just notice as you go thru life who are the people who strike you as most lddy" and peculiar, and I think you will find they are not "old mnids, but old bachelors. Aunt Mabel may be peculiar in her ideas, but how about Uncle Tom, who spends his days when he stays with his sister down in the country, in picking chicken feathers off the lawn, until as a small niece expresses it, "he looks as if he meant to build a nest." FADS AND FANCIES Skirts are very narrow. Tea color is a new shade. Crush girdles are back again. Taffeta coats are lined with flannel. This will be a decidedly silk season. Camel's hair velour is a lovely fabrics. Linen is combined with georgette crepe. It is very source and expensive. The new twilled silks drape exceedingly well. Many close fitting hats are trimmed with wings. Long coats are made of a kind of heavy jersey. Some coats have a suggestion of a circular flounce. for another one to give my last medal to and this time I would look for a man. Did you know that he could be found so easily? I did not have to look very far. Down town in the business district I found him, hard at work, working all day long for those he loves best without a thot of self. He has his own dreams as to the future, but they are all centered about his little family. He will eat cheap lunches wear the cheapest clothes he can buy and take the best of care of them so he can have more to give those at home. He is as happy as mortal man can be: he has a dainty little home, a loving wife and only six little ones to call him daddy. What difference does it make if things are high just so the folks at home are well and happy. His income is small but not too small to help a friend in trouble, no one worthy of help is turned away and that in spite of the fact that he may have to do without some one thing that he needed. I can get it another time, he thinks and goes cheerfully on his way, making his family happy and doing the good his hands find to do. He is the ideal family man and friend, and to him I give my renalning medal to pin over his heart. These are the people that I think are shores and have heroes. But there is heroes and have heroes also. Of course you have and him also. You meet them every day, call on Mr. Jones. "Come in" in she will sit. I was just getting to clean up, or I was getting to ready to clean up, or I was just getting to back up, or you would be to come in but not just to the kitchen as everything is so roopy-turvy and she was just getting to clean the stove, at the same time you would be looking at the kitchen would be looking at the straightened out and the stone blocked, and look as hard as you can you fail to find one dirt or dust and as for the store it already looks like a looking glass, at least you can see that you are frowning and have forgotten to say that it doesn't matter because you have just run in for a second. She is the mother who sends her children in the street to play for fear they will move something out of place. No cloudy windows, no dusty corners, no drifts of dust under beds and tables while she is up and around. She may be the soul of kindness to others, but she is unmerciful to herself. There is never a moment in the day when she does not believe she can take one more step if necessary. She has a way of saying that she "doesn't mind work" and "knows better than anybody can tell her what she can do and hear." Her thumb and finger are (figuratively) never off the screw that regulates her nervous system, and she is always ready to give it one more twist. This is not housewifery nor good house-keeping, but slavery of the worst kind. The mother that should be in her is forced out of sight. She is maid-of-all-work, wife, mother, business manager and house-keeper; she bears the lessons her children learn at home for the salaried school teacher; she pays and receives calls and is ambitious to see her husband a well off man some-day; she belongs to the lited Cross unit, she is working for the local hospital fund. But some day she thinks she will own her car and she will ride where she now walks and rest instead of slaving. The vision is sometimes fulfilled at a terrible sacrifice; the sacrifice of children love and husband's respect. Oftener, her rest is in the tomb, and another wife, younger, and more attractive and more daintily bred, enters into her labors. A woman of this type is far from a heroine and often to be pitted, for not being able to find herself before it is too late. Foulard frocks have underblouses of organdy or mull. Very plain frocks have collar and cuffs of brilliant silk. The silhouette is straight, the skirts narrow and a trifle short. Fringed girdle sashes appear on women's sweaters. The sleeveless jacket gives a frock all the appearance of a suit. Everything must be shiny, according to new millinery fashion. There is a new high stock which is pulled up over the chin. Hints For The Care Of The Skin Spring winds are proverbial dust raisers and the greatest factors in roughening the skin and in rendering some special cleansing agent necessary. Almost any compound is better to use than soap unless, as in exceptional cases, a person discovers a particular kind of soap that agrees with her complexion. In most cases after soap has been used the skin has a tight dry feeling that is conductive to wrinkles. A few drops of glycerine put on a bit of cotton prove a very effective cleaner and will remove dirt better than a great amount of soap and water. Buttermilk is one of the least ex- WHAT DID SHE DO?

Use it freely, wetting a soft old cloth and sopping the face, neck and chest thoroly. When buttermilk is used add about a teaspoonful of borax to a basinful of warm water in washing it off. Cold cream is so well known a cleanser that it hardly needs mentioning here. Whatever cleanser you may use see to it that once a week at least your neck and face receive a careful massaging. After the cleansing a piece of ice pressed quickly and gently over the skin will bring a distinct glow and color to the face. A little careful treatment taken in time will strengthen and reinforce the skin against the raysages of wind and weather and insure a good clear complexion for sometime. I Make A Little Meat Go A Long Way Hot Pot Of Mutton And Barley 1 pound motion ½ cup pearled barley 1 tablespoon salt. 4 potatoes 3 onions Celery tops or other seasoning herbs. Cut the mutton in small pieces, and brown with the onion in fat cut from meat. This will help make the meat tender and improves the flavor. BEEF STEW ¼ pk. green, unshredded peas or 1 can 1 cup carrots cut up small 2 teaspoons salt 4 tablespoons flour Cut the meat in small pieces and brown in the fat from the meat. Simmer in 2 quarts of water for 1 hour. Add the peas and carrots and cook for one-half hour, then add the potatoes. If canned peas are used, add them 10 minutes before serving. Serve when potatoes are done. DIFFERENT STEWS The meat—This may be any kind and more or less than a pound may be used. Use the cheap cuts, the flank, rump, neck, or brisket. The long, slow cooking makes them tender. Game and poultry are good. Thickners—Barley, rice, hominy, macaroni, corn starch, mour, or bread crumbs. Vegetables—Potatoes, carrots, turnips, onions, peas, beans, cabbage, tomatoes are good, canned or fresh. Use one or more of these, as you wish. Pursley, celery tops, onion tops, seasoning herbs, or chopped sweet peppers add to the flavor. · Many left-overs may be used—not only meat and vegetables, but rice or hominy. All kinds of stews are cooked in just about the same way. Here are directions which will serve for making almost any kind. Cut the meat in small pieces and brown with the onion in the fat cut from the meat. Add the salt and pepper, seasoning vegetables (onion, celery tops, etc.). 2 quarts of water, and the rice, or other cereal, if it is to MME. PAGE HEATH MME.

Immediate service day or night. 1m-2-20 There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease. It is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put 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 Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstreet or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co, 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinadde, mentioning the name of this paper.Add Old Hats Look Like New After They Are Done Up.
