RED CROSS GIVES TO ALL ALIKE Letter to Special Assistant Emmett Scott Explains Attitude of Red Cross Toward Col- AS TO COLORED NURSES Secretary of War to Announce Soon How They Are To Be Utilized. Washington, D. C., June 12—Many inquiries are coming from the colored people of every section of the country as to what the American Red Cross Society is doing to relieve the needs of Negro soldiers in the camps and cantonments of this country and what species of aid and comfort is being given to the colored warriors who are battling on the fields of France. The subjoined letter from Mr. Joseph R. Hamlen, of the national headquarters of the American Red Cross Society, in answer to an inquiry and request of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, describes somewhat in detail the character of the work the organization is doing, and declares among other things of vital importance, that the services of the Red Cross are being "rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, and without distinction." The letter of Mr. Hamlen follows: Washington, D. C., June 5, 1918. "Mr. Emmett J. Scott." Special Assistant, War Department "Dear Mr. Scott, I need to acknowledge receipt of your letter of May 29th, in which you ask for information as to what the Red Cross has already done in the war zone or at the cantonments of this country for the Negro soldiers. "I am glad to be given this opportunity to present of our work in this request. The Red Cross is rendering the same service to colored men that it is to white troops. No distinction whatever is being made because of the color of the enlisted man. Swaters and other knitted goods and comforts have been distributed to white and colored alike. We are rendering the same service to the families of white and colored alike. Emergency supplies are furnished at the request of colored officers, and in the hospitals, our men who do communication work, write letters at the request of enlisted men, without distinction because of color. "I remember a specific instance of service rendered to a large number of colored drafted men last fall. They arrived at one of the large Army camps during a period of intensely cold weather. The General in command of the Division-appointed unit and we were able to furnish him with 2,500 swaters within a few hours and a total of 10,000 within ten days. Practically all of the first 2,500 of these swaters went to colored troops, and a great majority of the ten thousand went to them." "I hope you will state with as much emphasis as possible that our constant efforts in behalf of the soldiers and sailors on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, are rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction. (Signed) JOSEPH R. HAMLEN, Assistant to the Vice-Chairman." The above communication will doubtless be read with the deepest interest by the colored men and women of this country, who have been and are in perfect accord with the aims of the Red Cross Society, but who had not been informed through any reliable source as to what the organization has actually been doing to supply the wants of the 156,000 colored soldiers in the army establishment. Thousands of these gallant men are under fire on, the battle-fields of France, and many more of our brave and patriotic colored Americans are in camp in our own land, preparing to join their brethren in the deadly conflict "over there." As to The Use of Colored Red Cross Nurses. The situation with regard to the use of colored Red Cross nurses is a matter which also is now receiving the attention of the War Department. The Secretary of War, Mr. Scott advises, will soon announce through the office of the Surgeon-General, the decision with reference to the utilization of the many competent warden of the race have once clearly registered their willingness to aid in the winning of the war by serving as nurses in the military hospitals at home and abroad. Warren, Ark. June 9.—A 50-acre farm, valued at $5,000, has been presented to Walters Institute, a colored industrial school of this city, by residents of Bradley county. Bishop L. Kyles, president of the Board of Trustees announces that the erection of new buildings to replace those destroyed by fire will begin at once. The fund for the purchase of this farm was secured by a committee composed of W. E. Reedy, B. S. Meek and O. Maxley. THE SOLDIERS CHAS. ANDERSON NOW A COLONEL Has Received "Commission" as Honorary Colonel of 367th Infantry — Soldiers in Boche Uniforms. Camp Upton, N. X., June 7.—German uniform appeared here today for the first time since the outbreak of hostilities and for the first time it was feared that a Bombing invasion was on or that a Holding party and landed U-boat on Long Island. These fears proved to be ungrounded, and a possible panic was quenched when it was found that the German uniforms were worn by members of the 367th Infantry, the Negro command in training here. The Hun saits stood out in sharp contrast to the dusty olive worn by the men drilling near by, who greatly outnumbered the camouflaged Germans. These unusual uniforms were being used as part of the training instruction of the scouts, signal men and observers connected with the Second Battalion, commanded by Major Chas. L. Mitchell, and the headquarters company, commanded by Capt. Benjamin in field gray worn by the enemy infantry of different branches, including the Landsturm and Jaegers. About twenty men of the 867th dressed up in the camouflage uniforms, some wearing the regulation infantry gear, some the Jaeger and some the Landsturm. All wore the round caps so familiar in pictures of the Han soldiers, the different branches being indicated by the color of the markings. Groups of the Negro observers and signal men got close up views of the "German soldiers" and then were given a chance to get familiar with their appearance at long distance by means of field glasses. The Kaiser clothes were part of the training equipment received recently by the regiment. They were originally used by the British army for training instruction, and the British manufactured thousands of the pseudo suits to be sent to this country and used for the same purpose. Have Honorary Colonel Have Honorary Counsel The 367th Infantry is probably the only regiment in the United States to boast of an honorary Colonel. /The custom of having an honorary commander, which is a traditional custom abroad, was instituted here yesterday by Col. James A. Moss, commanding officer of the regiment, when he "commanded" Chileser, Anderson Revenue, in New York, and now connected with the Bureau of Agriculture, in this post. Mr. Anderson, who is a well known figure in Republican politics in New York and who was appointed revenue collector by Theodore Roosavelt, came here yesterday to receive the commission from Col. Moss. The entire regiment was mustered in the Buffalo Auditorium and Col. Moss made an address to the men, describing the old European custom of choosing an honorary commander, and said that he thought the idea of making Mr. Anderson the honorary Colonel of the 367th an appropriate one. He said that Mr. Anderson had done more than any other private citizen to forward the interests or the regiment and for this reason thought it right to bestow such an honor. Mr. Anderson addressed the big assembly and aroused enthusiasm when he said he believed the record of heroic achievement by Negro troops would be written large in the annals of this war. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMROE, MD. FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1918. HAS YOUR BABY BEEN WEIGHED? Uncle Sam Urges Cooperation in Reducing Alarming Death Rate Among Children Under Six Years of Age. Last year over three hundred thousand children under six years of age died in this country. Government experts claim that over half of these deaths could have been prevented had parents been properly instructed in the care of their young. The first year of the war the death rate in England was so great that steps were taken to educate the people and the result was that in the second year the death rate was lower than in this century of war. The United States has determined upon a campaign of education in order to lower the alarming death rate among children. The saving of the babies is as much a war necessity as is the building of ships and those who fail to respond to the Government's appeal in this campaign are as much snackers as are those who do no cooperate with Mr. Hoover. The Government has asked the Women's Section of the Maryland Council of Defense to undertake the task of weighing all the children under six years of age, and up to the present colored mothers have not responded as readily as was expected. The Children's Child Welfare Committee of the Council is desirous that all the mothers of the city help in this matter. The Government wants to know something about YOUR baby. The Government, wants to know how YOUR baby is getting along; what it weighs, what its measurement is, whether it compares favorably with normal babies of its age. Your baby's Uncle Sam is interested in YOUR baby just as all other fond uncles are and it is unpatriotic for you to refuse the information Uncle Sam wants. Take your baby to any of the following stations of the babies: Milk Fund Association and have it weighed and measured: Tuesday, 9:14 E. Madison street 2 p. m.; Wednesday, 2 p. m.; 12:12 E. Baltimore street, 12:20 Meulich street, 2:24 Pennsylvania; Thursday, 2 p. m., 2:61 Greenmount avenue; 9:18 Russell St., 1:30 p. m.; 1509 Riggs avenue, 2 p. m. Other measures and weighing stations are: University of Maryland, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 10 a. m. to 1 p. m., and Meoy Hall on Fridays. If you haven't a baby, be a volunteer and help get the babies of your friends to the weighing stations. You know every little helps. Let your slogan be "For Uncle Sam and the Babies." AIDS WAR CAMP WORK The Rockefeller Foundation has been considering methods whereby the Foundation might be of assistance in war work along lines similar to those it employs in other fields; that is, by demonstrations and experiments which, when worked out, may be assumed by authorized public and private agencies. As an initial step the Foundation has appropriated $25,000 to make possible a demonstration of a plan of adequate care and entertainment of Negro troops in a typical war camp community.

Governor Whitman Tells of Receiving Tattered Flag From The 15th New York Regiment "Over There" Brooklyn, N. Y., June 5th. The dedication of the new building of the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A., for colored men, at 405 Carlton avenue, took place last evening, with Gov. Charles S. Whitman as the principal speaker. The auditorium of the new building was filled with colored and white people to its utmost capacity, when Edward U. Lyon, president of the Bourd Difectors of the Brooklyn Association, opened the ceremonies with a brief address. General Secretary John W. Cook, of the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association, gave a short review of the history of the Carlton Avenue Branch since May, 1902, when George Poster Peabody gave to the Brooklyn Association the property known as 405 Carlton avenue. This gift, the speaker said, provided the first building in the world for colored young men and boys. He read a letter from Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, who gave $2,500 to the building fund, and made the branch a possibility. Mr. Lyon introduced the Governor who said in part: "One regiment of all the American troops who are in France by mistake has been sent at the strength of 4,000 men, instead of 3,000, and has carried its flag into the firing line. A few days ago a box arrived in Albany addressed to Charles S. Whitman. The contents of this box in a hundred years or more will be the most precious possession of the United States—a torn and tattered little flag, of which is left only a piece of the coat-of-arms of the State of New York and the inscription, Fifteenth Int., N. G. N. Y. The only flag of the United States that was carried into the line was carried by our colored soldiers. (Apause). A colored man who a few weeks ago swept the floor at the Capitol in Albany now wears the French war cross. White and black are proud of our colored soldiers. But their gallant deeds are not surprising. We know what kind of men we have. "I congratulate you upon the opening of this building. We all rejoice with you. Here you will find the color of thought the right kind of religion, the right kind of heart, the right kind of home and of up-building. George Foster Peabody, the old and staunch friend of the race, spoke of the colored race and said it had given more to the United States and to the world than has been recognized. He called the attention of the audience to the fact that Gov. Whitman had signed the Equal Rights Act, and he spoke of the Fifteenth Amendment, which he described as "the keefern in Long Island and the United States." Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age, paid a tribute to Mr. Peabody and others for their support of the black race. He said in part: "When anybody questions our patriotism we can say that we have received our fire baptism in the South. We feel that they suffer from the Germans. We feel that our people are brutalized here. We are fighting over there to make the world safe for democracy. Let us make America safe for the Negro." 368TH INFANTRY LEAVES FOR FRONT Cruelty of Boches Beyond Description Writes Rev. Howard's New President Sound on "Race Problem" Just as the sun was going down Wednesday night, train load after train load of Uncle Sam's kakai-clad boys passed through Mt. Royal Station on their way to..... They were the boys of the 365th Infantry, which has been stationed at Camp Meade all winter, having been called out in the first draft. Will join the other part of the 79th Division before sail for France is not known, but this segment is composed entirely of men from Tennessee, Pennsylvania and they made wonderful progress since they entered camp last fall. Most or the officers are colored, a number of them from Baltimore, and they have done wonders with the raw recruits under them was evidenced by their soldier- A letter from Rev. George A. Griffiths, former pastor of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, and now chaplain of the 5th Field Artillery of the American Expeditionary Forces was read at the morning service at St. Mary's Church last Sunday. Rev. Griffiths is now with its regiment in France, having arrived there sometime during the winter. The letter gives an interesting account of conditions in France, when, the writer, says cannot be described. The letter, which was sent through the pastor, Rev. C. F. Brookins, is, in part, as follows: "Wherever you go the great burden that has been placed on this wonderful nation is apparent. The sacrifices they have made and the losses they have borne are too great to be recorded, and in the same way the wonderful spirit that is abroad in France today because they have faced and borne their crushing burdens, is too grand and glorious to be described in words. It is only when you live here, and having touched it that the power of it can be realized. When the war is over and we have beaten the vile foe beyond the point where they can repeat their wickedness, we shall look back and give to France and dear old England the tribute which is their for having been "faultful unto death." In speaking of the cruelty of the Huns, Rev. Gribble says it is hard to realize in America the wickedness they are perpetrating. "There are little children here in France," he says, "with poor little stumps of hands and young men with all their fingers cut off. Some British soldiers told me they were advancing into place—a little village—from which the Boche had been driven out, and the first house they entered they found in the front room four young Canadians crucified—one on each wall. A famous physician told me that when they went back to a dressing station to get their wounded, where they had collected them, they found them stripped of all their clothes; and everyone's throne out. In the part of France which they Washington, D. C., June 10.—Roy J. Stanley Durkee, Ph.D., for many years pastor of the famous South Congregational Church, of Campello, Brockton, Mass., one of New England's most influential religious organizations, who was unanimously chosen as president of Howard University at a meeting of the board of trustees held on Tuesday of last week is an educator of ripe experience, a firm and able administrator and a man of impressive personality. He is about 50 years of age, and is in the prime of a vigorous manhood, enthusiastic in temperament, and blessed with an optimistic outlook on life. More than all else, perhaps, from the viewpoint of the people he is called to serve at this time, he is absolutely sound upon all phases of the "race problem," as it is found America. He is a native of South Carolina, a man of that sturdy stock of one-visioned lovers of liberty and fair play, who preached and practiced the doctrine that every member of the human family is entitled to the highest possible development in education and to the enjoyment of every form of civic opportunity. He is a personal friend of that eminent philosopher and cosmologist, Dr. Frank W. Gunsalus, of Chicago, and is an exponent of the liberal tenets advanced by him on social issues. The fact that he is utterly devoid of race prejudices is proven by his intimate contact with and practical helpfulness by bearing in the recent parade held in this city. The men of this regiment have created a very favorable impression in this city, thousands of them coming here every week-end to spend their fur-loughs. They were a happy car-free lot and their only concern seemed to be that they were not getting to France fast enough. OTHERS TO FILL IN PLACES. The places of the men who left this week immediately be filled by others who have just been induced into service. Of these 1,480 will come from Baltimore. They will leave for Camp Meade beginning June 19th. invaded there is every reason to believe that the troops had ordered to destroy the convents—and there they killed the good sisters or in some cases turned them over to the men in the camps to be outraged." "Here in France one sees the great Catholics and churches full—all day long soldiers on their way to and from the trenches—some with the mud of battle on them—children leaving their phythings, women with baskets on their arms—and everywhere bowed figures in the awful black, symbol for many the loss of all that have loved. Here a silent plea group before the Blessed Sacrament and not far off a great crowd hearts and faces turned to Our of Perpetual Help, as they plea cause of France. Christianity Has Not Failed so—or but a god would ask whether or not he had failed over Here his glory and its triumph are in the spirit of supreme sacrifice of the French women and the ubiquitous vinieuble spirit of the French and English armies as they challenge the vile liche to do his worst—and face it—God only knows—for it is too grand and too sacred for human eyes to see. And so what prayer has done for France it will do for America, and you at St. Mary's must be among the leaders in the use and development of the Allies greatest power. Pray more earnestly and more often that God will hasten the time of our victory. "France and England have given most because they have suffered most and America will give most when she has learned more and more to suffer. We who see and think that victory over here will come through a nation that has stripped itself of all self-indulgence and camouflaged civilization and developed its power to endure steadfast to the end." The letter makes an appeal to, the people in this country to make every success prosecution of the war, the successful matter of the conservation of peace and tells graphically of indignation where the aged men and women of France are making heroic, effects to feed the nation, doing their work in fields filled with shell holes, and under the most trying disadvantages. shown toward the poor Jews, Italians, Scandinavians and friendless immigrant who sought a foothold in this new land of promise. He has conde much work for the uplift of the masses of his community, and has longev eved a deep interest in the educa tional and economic advancement of the colored people of the entire country. At his suggestion, his congrega tion has contributed liberally each year to several colored schools in the South, and traveling representatives of such schools have always received a responsive hearing when they appeared before his flock. It is signifi cant of his breadth of human fellow ship that his membership is made up of all classes including the wealth shoe manufacturers and prosperous higher education institutions.

Sharp St. Rally a Great Success How much money was raised at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church last Tuesday night in the great rally? Nobody knows but the pastor and his official family, and they will not tell. But this much all who attended the rally know, that it was one of the biggest and most beautiful affairs ever held the church; and while the statement cannot be verified, it is generally whispered that the amount taken in exceeds any other single effort by the church. In fact, Dr. Taylor, the popular pastor of the church has declared that it is the greatest in the history of his pastorate at Sharp Street. The largest rally ever held in the church was the famous War of the Roses, during the postmaster of Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, when four thousand dollars was raised, so it can be seen if Tuesday's affair reached the highest mark it was, in the parlement of the street, "some rally." The pastor and the officials, who are in on the secret, are highly elated at the success of the affair, and it is generally conceded that the $6,090.00 new due on the church debt will be cancelled during the present year. The effort which took the form of a King and Queen rally, brought out a record-breaking crowd and standing room was at a premium. The leader each of the clerics of the church represented the kington and as each marched up with his queen and ascended the throne, associated by royal secrecy, mids, flowers girls and the like, the scene was most beautiful. The rally will be officially closed in about two weeks when the announcement of the result will be made as well as the kingdom raising the highest amount. A collation will also be served. Rev. C.T. Walker Here The Rev. Dr. C. T. Walker, noted pupil restor of Augusta, Ga., delivered a most interesting and instructive address at the Silhouh Baptist Church Rev. W. W. Allen, pastor, on last Tuesday evening, in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. drive. Dr. Walker's subject was "The Nation's Call to Arms and the Negro's Answer." Dr. Walker held his audience spell-bound for more than an hour and closed his lecture amid tunitious applause. He laughed, "I am a loyal—actively loyal, doing everything in their power to help win the war; and after the war, said he, we shall ask as did the prodigal son, our part of the inheritance—the Fruits of victory—saying that we want it now.

A. habit on the farm laborer—production in steady and contentedpay for the experiment. It has become a custom in the United States—one that we have borrowed from England since the beginning of the war—to indicate proper names by initials alone. In Alabama and other States of the far South, Tuskegee Institute together with the United States Department of Agriculture is fostering an organization under the initials "U. S. S. S. L." The initiated know these letters to stand for the United States Saturday Service League. Why any group of people should pick out a day like Saturday for special service is cleared up by the bulletin of the W. S. S. S. L. which states that most of the farm labor of the South, both races, work from four to five and one-half days, seldom six days the week. A half holiday is religiously observed everywhere on Saturday, and of course no Sunday "thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son, nor thy etc." In order to meet the war need for foodstuffs, the League was formed with the idea of getting a full six days work out of every farm laborer and thus in some measure making up for the thousands of laborers who have already left the farm for city life. In this effort to create a popular feeling for work on Saturday the W. S. S. S. L is putting itself in opposition to an ancient farm custom. In addition it does not appear to believe that the labor unions' scale of 44 hours per week as a maximum ought to apply to farm laborers. To put it differently, the League wants farm laborers to work six days a week from sun-up to sun-down—twelve, thirteen or fourteen hours per day as the case may be—while laborers in city factories and industries work from eight to nine hours daily and on Saturdays enjoy a half holiday. At the same time farm laborers receive $2 to $2.50 per day and city laborers $3 to $3.50 Here in a nutshell we have part of the secret of the rush from farm work to city work. If our well-meaning organizations would regard farm laborers as human beings in need of rest, varied recreation and good wages, and not as "rubes" and "numskulls," then there would be no shortage of men for this work. If there are any reasons why two standards should be applied, to these two kinds of service they have not as yet become manifest. So far there are no reformers abroad urging city laborers to overtime work with no additional pay. Why then for farm laborers? There is no more important work in winning the war than shipbuilding, yet these workers have the maximum wage scale and the minimum time scale What the situation really calls for is a union of farm laborers, which will demand proper hours and adequate pay. If organizations like the U. S. S. S. L. really want to render permanent service, they might consider recreational centres in the farm districts of the South, with educational classes, amusements and the thousand and one things that go to make life bearable to the soldier in the cantonment. Let some one try the Y. M. C. A. habit on the farm laborer—the results in increased production in steady and contented "help" would more than pay for the experiment. WHEN WE GET OVER THERE. recruit just arrived at training car recent German drive with several ate, "they drove the French and En when we colored fellows get over won't it?" Naturally everybody a are various estimates of the numb now in France, some of them as his hand, a statement embracing the read into the Congressional Record Walter M. Chandler of New Yo A young recruit just arrived at training camp was talking over the recent German drive with several companions. "Yes," said he, "they drove the French and English back 28 miles. But when we colored fellows get over there, it will be different, won't it?" Naturally everybody agreed that it would. There are various estimates of the number of colored Americans now in France, some of them as high as 50,000. On the other hand, a statement embracing the record of colored soldiers read into the Congressional Record last week by Representative Walter M. Chandler of New York, quoting a survey of Mr. John E. Bruce, shows 500,000 black and colored men fighting on the side of the Allies in Europe. The United States, according to Secretary Baker, has 700,000 soldiers in France. There are then nine times as many African black men at the front as American black men and within 250,000 as many African black men as Americans, black and white. These black Africans, mostly six-footers, born fighters, able to clear a fence their own height easily and doing 18 feet in a broad jump with no exertion, have already made a record on Europena battlefields. A dispatch to the London Times dated May 29th, quotes a British officer as saying: "I have never seen finer fighters than these French Colonials. Another dispatch of the Associated Press of June 6, states that these same troopers have won the respect of the Americans, which left-handed praise of course means they did something under fire that Americans were afraid to do. The point to be made is this: This war cannot be won by sheer strength and force of numbers. If it could have been so won, Russia would have dictated peace from the beginning, Colored troops on European battlefields will not make it materially "different," that is to drive the Germans back 28 miles instead of themselves retreating that distance. The Allies have first got to have more men, more ships, more guns, more gas, more aeroplanes, and more genuine patriotic spirit, which is the same as saying more democracy at home. To Quote the National Republican, every Northern State Wisconsin and Vermont has furnished more than its quota of recruits to the army. These two fell short only a few men, Vermont 72 and Wisconsin 323. Here are some of the honor Northern States: STATE Quota Recruits Illinois 11276 28,375 Indiana 5,640 18,275 Michigan 5,620 17,761 Iowa 4,400 12,185 Minnesota 4,150 9,584 Here are some of the Southern States which suffer by contrast: STATE Quota Recruits Deficiency Virginia 4,122 2,834 1,288 Arkansas 3,148 2,415 633 Louisiana 3,812 3,241 71 Mississippi 3,634 1,704 1,930 N. Carolina 4,412 2,952 1,560 South Carolina 3,030 1,689 1,341 We noted sometime ago that the South as a whole was short on subscriptions to the issue of government Liberty Bonds and now we find it short again on recruits for the army. If this precious part of the country could stop being long on lynching parties and general Jimcrow spirit, perhaps it would catch up in practical patriotism. Colonel Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal won the prize last week awarded by the trustees of Columbia University School of Journalism for the best editorial article written during the year, the test of excellence being "clearness of style, moral purpose, sound reasoning and power to influence public opinion in the right direction." The title of the editorial was "Woe to the Vanquished" and set forth in oratorical style what we are going to do to the Germans. Considering the record in men and money furnished by the South, it is time for the Courier-Journal and its readers to stop passing the buck and "come across." WHY NOT A WAR CHEST FOR BALTIMORE. In view of the fact that we have so very many calls on our pocketbooks for so many various things, we are wondering would it not be a good thing to emulate the example set by the people of Cumberland and establish a "War Chest," thus at one fell sweep get rid of our pocket troubles for some time. Up in Cumberland the people came together and made a budget of what they thought would come before them. They took in the War Savings Stamps, Red Cross, Third Liberty Loan, and their own local affairs. They then made what was considered a fair assessment on every man in the community and proceeded to collect it. A campaign lasting a little over a week was undertaken, with the result that almost every one contributed their share or arranged to pay it in so many installments. The Cumberland people can now go about their business feeling that whatever comes all they will have to do will be to go to the War Chest, get out the amount and then return to their business. The colored people of this city are generous givers as was evidenced last week when Sharon Baptist Church collected over two thousand dollars, Bethel Church over ten thousand and the People's Church over one thousand. We could hardly include the churches in this plan, but we could take in the Day Nursery, Provident Hospital, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and other activities such as Old Folk's Homes, Orphanages, etc., make up our war chest and then get busy at other things. We would at least get rid of this everlasting begging. Who will undertake this campaign? Whoever undertakes it will receive the cordial support of this paper. THE FORUM To the Editor of The Afro-American. Your editorial of last week regarding benefits for charity was timely and to the point. We regret very much that here of late so many benefits have been given for one charitable cause or another out of which the beneficiaries have received so little and the expenses have been so great. On behalf of the Provident Hospital, however, we wish to advise the public that during the past two years, at least, we have made it a rule not to ask for or accept in the name of the hospital unless the officers of the hospital were represented either by the Financial Agent or some of the members of the Board, and in one case particular, that of the benefit given by the Jerusalem Temple of the Mystic Shrine, the officers of the hospital were requested by the Order to take absolute control of the box office and were furnished with a list of all tickets sold on the outside. Rev. Jefferson W. Moore, the financial agent, Superintendent, Dr. Harry F. Brown, or the president and treasurer of the hospital have been given the benefits for Provident Hospital and each of all them are gratified to report that payment of actual, expenses, have been turned over to the hospital and duly acknowledged by the officers. We have heard of donations in the form of linens and other useful articles not being acknowledged by the officers of the board but in all such cases there was some doubt as to the articles being received by the hospital. We feel very grateful to the public for the interest manifested in this institution and take this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to every one who has in any way contributed to its success. We reel grateful to some of our caterers who have remembered us by sending food during their busy seasons as well as our food supply dealers who are always sending one thing or another in their respective lines to the hospital. We wish the public to be advised that a hospital has use for everything that can be used in a private home, and newspapers, books, medicine bottles, kitchen utensils, pillows, be linens napkins, towels, teacups, bedrooms, dusters and in fact everything that is used in the home will be thankfully received at Provident Hospital and due acknowledgment will be made to the donors when their names and addresses are given. Under the regulations prescribed by the Board of State Aid and Charities, to whom we have to make a complete and accurate report of our management each month, the fiscal year begins on the first day of October and ends on the 50th day of September. During the present term the following benefits have been given for the hospital and the amounts realized have been and are hereby duly acknowledged: 1917 October 3rd, Blox Carnival etc. by Merrie Mattle Kane, $13.64. October 8th, Tournament at Long Green. $21.00. November 5th, John Wesley Church, $5.00. November 5th, Committee of Ladies of West, Bouldin Park, $12.70. December 8th, County Teachers for blankets, $30.00. December 24th, Christmas dinner by Lady Board of Managers, $20.00. December Miss Lula Ticharoson, the teacher, presented a Murphy, bed, $28.55. December 25th, Mid-West Art Club, Christmas present, $22.13. 1918 April 1st, Jerusalem Temple, Mystic Shrine, $2.00 April 5th, Mid-Winter Rally, Committee of Ladies, $32.81. matter of Bodies $30.00 April 7th, Fulton Baptist Church, $85.52. April 16th, County Teachers' Association for endowment of bed, $100. April 26th, The Uma Club Ladies for purchase of blankets and bed linens, $135.59. May 9th, Federation of Women on account for endowment of bed, $50. May 20th, Charity Ball at 4th Regiment Army by hospital workers, net to date, $377.29. We again wish to thank the public most sincerely for its liberal support of Provident Hospital in the past and will appreciate any and everything that may be done in the future for its benefit. This institution is for the benefit of the colored people of this city and state, the colored physicians and colored nurses, and is very properly supported by the public. The Board of Directors and officers manage the institution as trustees for the people and are required as we said before, to make monthly and annual reports to the Board of State Aid and Charities to whom we feel grateful for an increase in the state appropriation from $1,500 to 2,000 beginning on October 1st, 1918.

CHURCH REVIEW The current issue of this denomina- tional quarterly, ably edited by Rev. Reverdy C. Ranson, from its general make-up and the character of its articles, is well and properly called the church efficiency number. The front page has a good cut of the late Prof. H. T. Kealing, who from 1896 to 1912 was the efficient editor of the Review and who at the time of his death was the honored president of Western University, one of the excellent schools of the denomination and is located at Quindale, Kansas. The frontspiece is an excellent cut of Mrs. Howard Gould, who gave active and practical support to Dr. Ranson's campaign in the special congressional election in New York City last spring. The contents to the Review are made up of interesting and illustrating articles upon subjects of importance by those currently qualified to speak or write upon the themes discussed. That on the "Social and Religious Conditions in Centres of War-time Industries" by Dr Worth M. Tippy, the executive secretary of the Church and Social Service Commission of the Federal Council, which as would be expected from one who has so thoroughly familiarized himself with these conditions as has Dr. Tippy. The editor, Dr. Ranson, has an illuminating article on "Seeking a Seat in Congress and a Voice in Government," in which he clearly sets forth the reasons which influenced him to take the stand and make the fight he did for the political recognition of the great number of colored voters who largely make up the 21st Congressional district. The moral effects of the contest made by Dr. Ranson, it is claimed, will be very great. The author, now elsewhere, to seek for proper political recognition on party ballots as well as in other places, and causing political organizations to give proper and respectful consideration to all proper and just demands made by colored voters. The article "The Church that Saves" by Rev. Roy E. Build, has the right ring throughout, which it sounds in the very first sentence: "a Christian church should be placed in a community not for what it can get out of a community, but for what it can give to a community." The church of Jesus Christ is established as an organization in the world to the end that it may, through the united as well as the personal efforts of the consecrated membership serve mankind in meeting its needs as the representatives of the Lord Jesus Christ who came to seek and to save. The Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, the popular and efficient pastor of Bridge Street A, M. E. Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes an interesting article on "The Pastor and His Boards." This article is most timely and practical, full of wholesome advice, and suggestive of practical methods. It will doubtless help many who read and study it to deal wisely with their boards, and be able to get the highest, the best and the most unselfish service out of them for their church and their Lord. Rev. Monroe W. Thornton, pastor of Charles Street A, M. E. Church, contributes a very practical article on Church Efficiency—Heating and Lighting. Many not so thoroughly informed about heating and lighting will find much to help in their careful perusal of Dr. Thornton's article and there will follow as a result of heating the wise suggestions therein set forth a much smaller number of poorly heated and lighted churches and homes among our people. Rev. Joseph M. Evans, of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Seranton, Pa., in a brief, but informing article entitled "How We Did It," tells how he and his wife through the "practical aptitude to the every day problems of application of the principles of Christmas life in Detroit," by means of an organization known as "The Bureau of Christian Assistance," did so much during their stay for our people in that Michigan city. "The Efficient Sunday School" and "Sunday School Efficiency" are eachably presented by Rev. O. E. Jones, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Lexington, Ky., and Lieut. James M. Collins, respectively. the memorial and open letter by Rev. Carl M. Tanner of Washington, D. C., to the recent session of the Council of Bishops of the A. M. E. Church, Jeld at Louisville, Ky., in which the creation of a Service Bureau to meet the demands upon the church, by reason of the migration of our people from the South—the need of our boys in training camps, their families at home and a clearer defined policy of our attitude toward the government in this crisis, and the gathering and keeping of certain war statistics is published. We do not recall what if any action on this memorial letter was taken by the Bishops' Council. It strikes us that the problem it mentions are worthy of careful consideration, and call for some action which will best work their solution. An interesting and informing article on "The Ethiopian Church" etc., by Paul O. Heutsch, from the German by Miss J. C. Byrud, will prove of special interest to those who are informed regarding the relation sustaining once sustained between the A.M. E. Church and the Ethiopian Church. the Section are interesting and instructive. The whole magazine is well worth reading. Dr. Kansom is not only able editing the magazine that in every respect is worthy and deserving the largest support. OUR BOYS GIVING A GOOD AG COUNT OF THEMSELVES AT THE BATTLE FRONT News comes as late as June the 11 from France that the Germans met with such resistance in their now offensive in the direction of the railroad connecting Estrets—St. Denis and Montdidier, that they were compelled to resource their attempts in that region. Negro troops in a brilliant counter attack did great execution, and recaptured the forest running Southwes of Marquiseglise between Perno Farm and Loges Farm, wining for themselves high praise, we have never had any doubt of our boys giving such an account of the enemies when in battle with the enemy, that they would merit and call forth the praise of all fairminded people. The Negro is no coward—he is rather a brave, courageous, heroic fighter. In battle he is there to win—to win at any cost even to that of his life. This war gives the opportunity to him to show his patriotism and loyalty to the country—his interest in the welfare of humanity at large, and exhibit over again his fighting qualities, his courage and efficiency as a soldier and a sailor. We are not rejoicing over the fact that this awful conflict between the nations of the world peace reigned universally upon the earth, but since PEACE to the nations can only come through a strife that will end in the over throw of oppression and autocracy, and in the establishment of Democracy and Liberty, we are glad that the Negro is in the struggle now going on and in it on the side of truth—righteousness and liberty. This war cannot and will not be won without, and it will not be won in our opinion until we have the opportunity to do our full bit in the actual fighting at the front. This we believe to be included in the purpose of God regarding this world conflict and in the final outcome it will be manifest that we have done our part so well, and proved our hererism and courage the equal of others that we are possessed of every manly virtue and quality—that proper recognition of our manhood rights and the full enjoyment of all citizenship privileges will be willingly and cheerfully accorded us. SUCCESSFUL MASONIC RALLY Within the last ten days Baltimore colored people have given evidence of their ability to do large things and to do them thoroughly and well. Following the most successful financial rallies in several of our leading churches on June 3rd and 4th. The Order of Masons hold a successful rally at Trinity A. M. E. Church last Monday evening at which time more than sufficient money to pay off the entire indebtedness on their property on Pennsylvania Avenue was reported through the lodges. This indeed is a great accomplishment and deserves the commendation of all. The ancient and honored fraternity deserves and doubtless has the confidence of all lovers of mortality education and progress, and it surely must be gratifying to all such to know that the colored Masons of this city have succeeded in raising the full amount to pay the purchase price of the Pennsylvania avenue property, and that they are now in an unhamped position to take such action as they deem wisest and best to secure for themselves such a building and equipment so necessary to meet their present urging demands and their growing needs. Our congratulations are extended to the brethren of the Craft and our best wishes are for their steady growth and development in the practice of the excellent principles and high virtues of their most noble order. --- COLORED MEN FOR ARTILLERY The Philadelphia Record of a recent date states that Lieutenant Everett W. Johnson, of 349 Field Artillery Camp Dix is in that city to take charge of the recruiting of colored troops and to closely that a headquarters for the purpose had been opened at the Southwest Branch of the Y. M. C. A. Lieutenant Johnson who is himself a product of one of the training camps is quoted as saying "Colored men can go just as high as white men as they are colored in active service in France and several colored lieutenant colonels and majors. It is up to the men themselves. There is an equal chance for all." If this is true which Lieutenant Johnson persistent rumors that are rent that discriminations are made in the service on account of color are as mean and contemptible as they are false, and some effort should be made to discover the source from which the rumors are a course in dealing with them as shall put a stop to this gross misrepresentation of the facts. Nothing is to be gained by any people in crying out about color or race discrimination anywhere, when such does not exist and the cry that ```markdown ``` Coleman, Ma., June 13.—Our church services were well attended on Sunday.

Campbell, B. S., M. D., 1830 N. Carey St., Baltimore, Md. 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. I had to take the own physician Dr. Maco attended me for some time, and said I had tuberculosis. I was sent to the John Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted to cure me. 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 Dr. Campbell, the Lung Specialist. He examined me and told me the treatment, 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 treatment, and I started to change for the better immediately. Thank God am living, and on November 17, 1917, I weighed and tip the scale at 148 lbs. No one will believe me. 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.

Pressing For Posta -Margaret Black's Corner- --- ERIDAY, JUNE 14, 1918. reading a newspaper article on "Looking Back Beyond Forty" that struck me, I wonder what most of us look or will look like two are past forty. Did it ever matter that your looks when get beyond forty will depend yourself? I have never that of you say. Well perhaps you don't. Perhaps you have been so being happy or making someone happy that you haven't had the "I can't tell how I will look I am forty"—Oh, yes you can, at the women and men that are forty and see if you can tell her they were pretty or homely can or envious. now women that have reached age of forty and they have been fish, so of every one but themselves, things, so jealous, so self-seleking and so self-rabbbed that people pass them by put a thot. They are lonely, acted and uncared for, and yet were pretty when they were, but being so self-centered even they were forty their faces with eyes that make life seem with eyes that are going somewhere, and reader of human nature knows why every one of those lines. Those that can't read the lines like you anyway, though they ought to be rude and say your face like a lemon, or you remind of a witch. How many times you heard the remark, "She like an old witch"? Did you see any one making a confident or trying to make things please she would like them? Of you didn't, because one look or face is enough: it isn't please to look upon and does not invite. But whose fault is it? It's at all but Mrs. Forty. She got begin but enough to look out and to be gracious. It took to write the signs on really those faces, she was really ugly. t deserves to be ugly or she will be tougher ever drew ugly, much less face but inquisitive in body else business, ever and curly now gimlet took but peering into someone else's business. Nothing ever took all of the stress and womanliness and lovout of her face but the envy, couldn't have been pretty, you but she was. But she was the of girl who that only of self; would choose the most becoming for herself, and put her best where she would took the urge. She would sacrifice anybody or ing to get some special attention. Her object was always somebody in wrong, and succeed. She was always too tired to a walk if she that the best man in the party would not hand, and if she was staying the summer resort she would be not to exert herself or to the one she always would better than the rest of the especially if she was a cogible fellow was coming to train, and when he would her dressed in her most becomers on the porch couch, or her very pretties, in the ham-seemingly unconscious of his, yet managed to find out about mention before any one else. She becoming colors now and visits beauty doctor and wears the set of clothes, but nothing that will ease away the lines that been etched on her face by the of time. there is another woman who helped the age of forty or will She was the age of a woman who was one year one one year one, at least you think she cess Anne, Md.

You wonder what she did to get people to like her so that they will go out of their way to do her a favor, be nice to her and to get her a smile at them. But the truth of the matter is she has not done a thing. She is just—that's all. She's good and kind and she wishes people well. She wants to be nice—she is nice and she is so anxious to make things easy and pleasant for her friends who are having a hard time. Children, old men and women adore her. Old ladies will go out of their way to put her on the shoulder and say "So glad to see you my dear;" old men will tell you what a lovely woman she is and tell her that they hope she is coming to see their wives and daughters real soon. The weak people lean on her strength, the strong upon her big help and the big people run to her for big help and the big people in life to go for sympathy and understanding in little things. The little girl tells her about the doll that Shirley broke and brings her new things to her see; the little boy in the corner house has to tell her about the little dog that some one scale from him and then runs over the next day to tell her about the pretty white dog uncle has promised to bring him, and that she will be the first one he will show it to outside of mother, and she must be sure to think of a pretty name because she must help to name it. The girl in the high school tells her all about the algebra teacher who is so mean, because she knows she will understand. The boy just home from college tells her all about his business and is sure of her cooperation in the plan that he pays to make money so as to help pay his way through college for the coming year. Miss Eighteen tells her all about the trouble she is having with her love affairs, and feels better after the telling and goes on her way feeling much happier because she received a few kind words and a kiss. Even the society woman likes to drop in for an hour's chatt which often runs into two and the Red Cross president runs over just four minutes to chat because it is so restful to chat with her, because she understands and it is so hard to make folks to the right thing at the right time, that a great big friendly world she lives in, it is so big-minded, so kindly, so loud, so broad-minded, so big-hearted, it might not be all these things, but she thinks so, all because she was nice when she was eighteen and kept right on being nice, till now she is past forty she can't help being nice to everybody even to Miss Presty Face when she lets her. And if you were to tell anyone, that knows her that she was plain and homely they would laugh at you and would not believe you and tell you that you must be blind. You can't be generous, kind, good-hearted, and good-natured for more than forty years and be ugly, no matter how plain or queer you dress; and you can't be ugly, self-centered, little, mean, envious, and jealous for more than forty years and be pretty, or even passably good-looking. When a woman or man gets to looking back past forty he either discovers that he is loved and respected or that they have lived so long for self that they have not a friend they can count on. You can be what you choose at forty or past forty, the making is up to you, and if you are just eighteen now when you are reading this you will know that you look like when you reach for love to pass forty. What will the looking back be like? Don't forget that when she chooses that age people will either love her so well that they don't know or not, or they will dislike her so that they wouldn't know if she had the face of a DuBarry or the form of a Venus. What are you going to look like when you are past forty? Think it over. or S. Hayman, class of '15. $5. for excellence in blacksmithing, by Mr. Frederick L.

Church last week under the direction of Madam Harris, who is a well known musician, having trained the choir at Quinn Chapel, Chicago. It was indeed a fine affair, so pretty was the paneaut that Madam Harris has been asked to repeat it. The proceeds amounted to $123.05. The graduating exercises of the eight grade were held at the Sumitian Hall Friday night. The graduates were, Miss Alice Brown, Beatrice F. Harris, Jane Curtis. The Colored Women's Council of Defense was organized last Monday night. Mrs. Annie R. Giles, of Washington spent a few days with Rev. and Mrs. Catherine C. Cumberland, spent Monday in town. A very fine Children's Day exercise and flag raising was held Sunday at Asbury M. E. Church. MILDEW STAINS Mildew stains are sometimes a source of great trouble, and are difficult to remove unless you know how. Rub a little soap over the mildew spots, and on top of this a little chalk and lemon juice. If the garment is then put out in the sun for a couple of hours and afterwards washed in the usual way the spots will disappear. MILK Milk is the best food we have. Give the children milk. A quart a day if possible if not a pint. Clearly of milk will give the children the chance for health they ought to have. It helps them to grow, it helps them to keep well it gives them the proper amount of line they need in their bodies, it gives them the body building protein; it is like eggs and meat in this. Milk gives the children fuel to burn in their bodies and helps to keep them warm, and it is cheaper than meat. Skim milk is also good food. Use it but use whole milk also, as skim milk lacks fat, and has not so much growth substances as whole milk. They need vegetables, fruits and cereals as well as milk. Milk is also good for grown people, it is good and nourishing. Do sure the milk is clean and fresh. If you live in the city get it from a pesturized dairy. If from the country see that your cows are clean and healthy. Keep your milk clean, cold and covered. WAYS OF USING MORE MILK Cereals Cooked in Milk. Corn meal, outmeal, and rice are delicious cooked in skim milk. Use the same amount of milk as you would water for outmeal and corn meal. For rice, you can well use a good deal more milk—four or even more cups of milk to one of rice. Cook for an hour in a double boiler. This makes a delicious creamy-cereal. For milk cereal puddings add sugar or sugar and raisins. CORNSTARCH PUDDING 1-4 cup sugar or 1-2 cup corn syrup 4 tablespoons cornstarch (level) Pinch of salt Vanilla Mix the cornstarch with cold milk, seal the remaining milk, add the sugar or sirup, salt, and cornstarch. Stir until thick. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Add vanilla. Serve cold, plain or with fruit. Add a square of chocolate to the milk for chocolate cornstarch. CREAMED DISHES Milk toast, cream soups, creamed vegetables, creamed fish, and scalloped dishes are all good ways of putting more milk into the daily food of the family. The milk for all of these is thickened into a sauce, thick or thin. To make the sauces, melt the fat, stir in the flour, add the milk gradually, and cook until thickened, stirring constantly unless you use a double boiler. All measurements are level in these and all other recipes. Thin White Sauce—Milk 1 cup, flour, 1 tablespoon; fat, 1 tablespoon; salt, $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon; pepper, 1-$\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon. Medium White Sauce—Milk, 1 cup, flour, 2 tablespoons; flour, 2 tablespoons; salt, $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon; pepper, 1-$\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon. Thick White Sauce—Milk, 1 cup, flour, 3 tablespoons; fat, 3 tablespoons; salt, $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon; pepper, 1-$\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon. For milk toast and with vegetables use the thin sauce. For scalloped or creamed dishes, use the medium sauce. The chief use for the thick sauce is as a binding material in croquettes and leaves. Spread the knowledge among the mothers that milk is our best food.

Second, because it brings your these results, quicker and better than any other hair dressing. Third, because it has a superior odor which alone makes it most popular on any woman's dressing table.

Strands of pink and blue roses with sprigs of green very natural looking are being used for camisole straps. Daisies joined together in conventional style with just a touch of green also make lovely straps. 1 Capes—capes—capes of all kinds and sizes and lengths. Made out of black and white checked taffeta it will be quite stunning. Some are quite full and some three quarter length with coat fronts—are lovely in Palm Beach cloth in natural color. A lot of them are reversible. Calico, the kind our grand-mothers used to wear. It comes in the quaintest of color schemes. Bright reds, Copenhagen, blues and charming yellows with little spots and sprigs in yellows, reds and greens. They make lovely frocks so charming and quaint. Of course they are ruffled, with a high waist-line just like granny's used to be. The kiddies frocks are just like the grown-ups. Be-ruffled and high waisted, and most of them straight from the neck down. Sometimes they are trimmed with plique and have long sleeves. It promises to be a war-time fad to wear calico. Hats are wide and slippy, with not a bit of trimming beyond a how and streamers of black velvet ribbon. No wardrobe is complete without one silk utility frock. Fashion herself has taken a hand and skirts are narrower, sleeves tighter and most important of all she gauciones the two-material frock. The round-necked, kimmon sleeved bodies is much in demand. The very newest fad is the double collar model. Excellent for the use of two materials. SCRAPS OF LINOLECM Never throw small pieces of new linoleum away. Keep them to line your cool box with; it saves the box from wearing at the bottom. Use some to stand saucespan on and to line the kitchen boot-threading and metal-cleaning dishes if used to stand the coffee and tea-pots on. Cut in small pieces it will make a bright fire with a few sticks added. Mine. M. A. HUNTER'S 1324 DRUID HILL AVE. Try my Hair Grower and Straightner 25c. per Box.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair 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 hair, causing a natural oil of long hair. It is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scaip 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 duffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scaip 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 Quinado, mentioning the names of this paper: Advt. To prevent the accumulation of files, wash the windows and frames, picture glasses, and gas-brackets with fluid ammonia and water. This will destroy the eggs, and it will also produce a splendid clearness and lasting polish to the glass and mirror. WHAT DID SHE DO? NOAH'S HAIR DRESSING Price.
