OUR BOYS ARE HOT FOR SCRAP Pershing Denies That the Colored Soldiers are Given Most Dangerous Posts. Their Training Same as White Soldiers Re- Washington, D. C. June 26, Formal denial of reports circulated in this country, presumably by German agents that Negro soldiers with the American expeditionary forces are giving more dangerous work was coded to the War Department by General Pershing. The message said the Negroes were in high spirits and that their only complaint was that they were not given more active service. General Pershing could not too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit the capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work. The General's cabbage, which was one of the inquiry sent by Secretary of War Warke, said: "The stories, probably invented by German agents; that colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers; that they fell on the ground to die, without medical attention, etc., are absolutely false. The following are the reports as reported up to June 18 in the four colored countries: 3624th Infantry, died of wounds; 8; died of disease; 5, severely wounded; 2; 370th Infantry, died of wounds; 0; died of disease; 5, severely wounded; 0; died of disease; 5, severely wounded; 0; died of disease; 5, severely wounded. The figures show conclusively that Negro troops have not, thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those occupied by white troops, and that their physical condition is extent. "A tour of inspection just completed among American Negro troops, by officers of the training section of these headquarters, show the comparatively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. Training is identified with that of other troops serving with the French army, the effort being to lead all American troops gradually to heavy combat duty by a preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. Colored troops in trenches have been particularly fortunate, as one regiment has been there, and enemy losses have suffered. This was not posthumously of heretofore on the western front. "The exploits of two colored infantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol, killing and wounding several Germans and winning Croix-Armand was raised a fine spirit of emulation throughout the colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service. Only regret expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more danger than they would have amused at the most dangerous positions and all are desirous of having more active service than has been permitted them thus far. I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops who fill the capacity for much training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." GIANTESS DEAD Springfield, Mt. June 26.—A special casket, three times the size of an ordinary one, was required for the burial of Mrs. Jessie Hill. She weighed 450 pounds and measured six feet in height and thirty-two inches across her body from arm to arm. She was 40 years old and died from dyspepsia. The War Camp Community Service is an organization which has for its purpose the providing for the leisure time activities of the soldiers in the various cities close to the large cannonments, and where many of the soldiers spend their time when off duty. The object of the association is to provide education and amusements for the soldiers under competent, management and where the interests of the soldiers are looked after by competent committees of ladies and gentlemen. A number of these clubs have been already formed and are in active operation. The former Lexington Hotel, in this city, has been secured and is now being put in order for the accommodation of the white soldiers of Camp Meade and sailors who come to the city on leave. This committee under the direction of Mr. L. J. Lines and Dr. W. Hutchinson, are preparing to open a club house of this kind in the area for colored soldiers and sailors, and accession as a proper location can be found, with kill commence on its preparation. Several sites have been looked at, but in many cases have been found suitable. "If it is expected that in the course of the next week or two such a suitable place will be found and opened to colored soldiers who come here each week and have no proper place to go to spend their evenings. Our Boys on the French Front, Preparing to Make the Battle Trains Workers for Over Sea Service Harper's Ferry, W. Va., June 26.—The Cheesapeake Summer School, which has been in session here for the last two weeks, came to a close Wednesday. This is one of the standard summer schools for Y. M. C. A. workers. The session just closed is the eleventh, and was by far the most constructive ever held. Over one hundred men were registered from fifteen states and from twelve cantonments. The new feature this year was the war work course and more than thirty men were prepared for over-season service, while a number who are not in the association work prepared for work in the cantonments. During the session sports "Y" workers were received from the cantonments, and from work centres, and from work in France, India and Africa. J. B. Moorhill, of Washing-ton, senior international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was deed of the school and was assisted by J. B. Watson, of Atlanta, Ga., C. H. Tobins, Augusta, Ga., H. C. Kraut, Boy's Work Secretary; Max Yergans, Over Seas Secretary; Rev. Francis Gregory and S. S. Booker, general secretary of the Baltimore "Y." MUST NOT DISCRIMINATE Washington, D. C., June 22. "The War Department will brook no discrimination against colored men in the application of the draft law and any cases of alleged or suspected discrimination brought to our attention will be investigated and any wrong done will be righted." This statement was made today by Secretary of War Baker when his attention was called to persistent reports that draft boards are discriminating against Negro draftees who claim exemption on account of dependent relatives. Y. M. C. A. AT PENNIMAN Pennman, Va., June 24. A Young Men's Christian Association was organized here at the works of the DuPont Engineering Company of the month under the direction of J. S.

A great deal of interest is being manifested in the outdoor sports, which include boxing, wrestling, baseball and field work. Secretary Collins, has worked incessantly to make the work go here and has been assisted by a handful of unknown men. The progress made in so short a time has been wonderful and there is a general desire that he remain here. DR. LYON SPEAKS TO HIGH SCHOOL GRADS Says Success Comes. Through Sacrifice and is not Stopped by Color of the Skin.. The thirtieth annual commencement of the Colored High School was held at the Lyric Wednesday evening, Mayor Preston conferred the diplomas, E. Bernard Taylor, a member of the class of 1897, presented the $10 prize offered by the Mayor to the student submitting the best essay on "shipbuilding." William Rawlings was the recipient. The invocation and benediction was by Charles E. Stewart. Dr. Ernest Lyon delivered the address to the graduates. Prof. Charles J. Koch delivered a brief address after which Principal Mason A. Hawkins announced the names of the $1 graduates. The theme of Dr Lyon was "No Trumph Without Sacrifice." After stating that the reappointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell as a judge of the municipal court of the district of Columbia and the promotion of Benjamin O. Davis to be a lieutenant colonel in the army was solely due to sacrifice and merit. Dr Lyon vividly pictured the success of these two men as an evidence that success is not measured by a man's color but by the sacrifice he puts into the accomplishment of a goal. "Let me exhort you, never to forget those of your race, still in ignorance and in superstition. Education in its broadest and most liberal sense signifies service. The city, at giving you a liberal education, at the expense and sacrifice of the tax-payers, is sending you forth, with authority, to serve your day and generation. The eye of this great audience, composed of the people of your own race and distinguished representatives of the other race, is ours. We and our congratulations and our blessings and we exhort you to act well your part in the drama of life. The annual sermon to the graduates was preached by Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander at Sharon Baptist Church last Sunday morning. He urged the graduates to cultivate high ideals and remember that their training was one that should make them strive to serve for the uplift of the race. WILLIAMS JUNIOR CHAMPION The tennis tournament of the Monumental Tennis Club juniors, which was held at Drudr Hill Park and ended Tuesday afternoon, was one of the most interesting yet held. The feature of the whole tournament was the winning of the championship by Nelson M. Williams. Williams, who has but one leg, and uses a crutch, showed pluck, determination and sportsmanship, asking and giving no quarter. He received the silver cup, offered by the club and is now in Class A. "AFRO" FIVE CENTS AFTER JULY 10th. On and after July 10, the price of the Afro-American will be five cents per copy. For the past 26 years the sale price to individual subscribers has been three cents. The increase has been found necessary to meet the advance in cost of print paper, ink, and most important of all—labor. Without print paper and ink a newspaper is impossible. Congress and the President have given a large part of their time during the past year in the effort to keep these articles at a figure where the smaller newspapers of the country continue to purchase it. In spite of their laborers paper and ink cost has increased and many country dailies as well as weeklies have been forced to suspend. The loss of the trade in German dyes and the necessity of accepting dearer substitutes has caused the same upward tendency in the price of printing inks. Ordinary inks are now selling at just twice the pre-war motions. The need of paying our workmen a living wage under present conditions hardly calls for mention here. Ordinary laborers are now getting $3 to $2.50 per day of eight and ten hours. Even at this figure the H. C. of L. enables them to save little more than they saved before the war. Increase in wages has not been an absolute increase but a relative one. The laborer has not more money to buy luxuries or to save. His pocket-book is just as empty now as before. The increase in wages barely meets the increase in prices. If a workman is not getting more now than he did before he war, in reality he is not receiving the same wages, he has been reduced. These are the reasons that the price of the Afro-American will be 5 Cents hereafter instead of 3 cents. Looking around among our contemporaries, it is rather comforting to note that those whose price was not originally 5 cents have been forced to take this step already. Not a single large weekly paper in the United States sells now for less than 5 cents. Here are some of them: Omaha (Nebraska) Monitor. Chicago Defender. Newspaper publishing, has been classified by the Government as essential, that is, patriotic service. As a means of spreading the news, of creating right public opinion, the newspapers must come out. We confidently expect that our 15,000 readers will help to hear cheerfully the burden that the war places upon us. LIBERTY CONGRESS IN SESSION AT CAPITAL Would Present Petition Asking for Share in Democracy to Joint Session of Congress Washington, June 25.—With over one hundred delegates from 36 states, the national colored liberty congress began its sessions in this city Monday at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. The congress was organized by the election of the following officers: H. H. Harrison, of New York, president; W. H. Twine, of Oklahoma, W. E. Hester, Tennessee, and A. W. Winstey, Boston, vice presidents; J. W. Bell, Kentucky, recording secretary; Dr. S. W. Harrison, Arkansas, corresponding secretary; I. B. Allen, New York, assistant; Rev. W. C. Erdwin, Washington, treasurer. Following the organization a committee visited Speaker Chimp Clark with a request from the congress that a joint meeting be arranged of the House and Senate to receive a petition in behalf of the rights of colored people to share in the full rights of democracy. The committee was held at night at which addresses were delivered by W. M. Trotter, of Boston, H. H. Harrison, of New York; J. W. Bell, of Kentucky, and others. The session Tuesday was taken up largely with the reports of the various committees. A lively debate arose when it was found that a reporter was present at the meeting, which was an executive one, without registering as a delegate. The reporter was finally allowed to remain. Another heated discussion arose when J. Pinkey Wilson, editor of the Eagle, took exception to one of the rulings of the president and appealed from his discussion. The president was upheld, but the meeting became so unruily that he asked to be excused from presiding for the balance of the afternoon. Bars Birth of a Nation Charleston, W. Va., June 22—The Executive State Council of Defense, Tuesday, placed a ban on the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation" and all similar plays in this state during the period of the war. The action of the state council came as a sequel to the passage of a resolution by the McDowell County Auxiliary Council of Defense protecting against the showing of "The Birth of a Nation." The McDowell County Council, composed or coorded citizens of that county and one of the units of the State Auxiliary Advisory Council, of which J. C. Gillmer is secretary, set forth that the attraction is one "calculated to arouse, hatred and prejudice between the white and colored races of the state and likely to hinder and retard the proper cooperation between hte races in promoting the greatest efficiency in war work of all kinds." Plan Aid for Southern Migrants Wilberforce, O., June 25—The bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, at their semiannual session here last week, voted to launch a campaign to raise $160,000 in order to look after the welfare of the thousands of men and women they have emigrated North and West during the past two weeks. Each of the bishops made a report of the work in his respective district. Bishop J. Albert Johnson reported that Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the church, had visited a number of the cantonment, as authorized by the financial board. The bishops sent a telegram to President Wilson pledging him their patriotic support in his every effort to crush the Germans and assuring him that their prayers were answered. The president thanked the bishops for their assurances and telling them their interest was highly appreciated by him. A committee, of which Bishop Joshua Jones, is the chairman, was appointed to arrange for the semi-centennial of the entrance into the ministry of Bishop Joshua P. Leo, the bishop of the determination. Though the anniversary will take place at Nashville on September 25 next, the celebration will take place at Nashville on September 25 next. PROMINENT TEACHER DEAD Miss Roberta Sheridan, one of the first colored teachers in the local public schools, died at her home, 1441 N. Carey street, last Sunday night, following a very brief illness. The deceased was born in Baltimore county. When old School No. 9 was built at the corner of Carrillon and Higgs avenues in 1889, she was appointed a member of its first corps of teachers. About a quarter of a century ago she was married to Mr. George W. Biddle. She was later divorced from him and given the right to resume her maiden name. She again became a teacher in the city schools and at the time of her death was a member of the faculty of School No. 108, South Caroline street. Her mother, Mrs. Arietta Sheridan, and one daughter, Miss Hester Maud Biddle, survive. WOULD TURN OVER The Alumni Association of the Colored High School, at its annual meeting Wednesday of last week, appointed a committee, headed by Dr. E. V. Stokes, to confer with the proper authorities about turning over the buildings of the Western High School to the institution. It was pointed out that the present buildings of the Colored High School are inadequate for the school. Speakers - asserted that the shifting of the populace would in time make the location of the Western High School suitable for colored pupils. The following officers were re-elected: Dr. E. V. Stokes, president; Miss Edginer Fessenton, vice president; Miss H. Tytler and Miss Cordella Henry, secretaries, and Miss Florence Matthews, treasurer. Acquitted of the charge of rape on one Mary Sears, James Edward Bantum, principal of School 110, Waesche St., walked from the court room of the Criminal Court No. 2, Thursday evening a free man, amid the congratulation of his many friends and sympathizers, who waited through the long court proceedings and for an hour while the jury deliberated over the arguments presented for Bantum by attorney Harry B. Wolf, and for the State by Attorney Holland B. Archant. Bantum, though laboring under an apparent nervous strain, maintained a calm and coolness through the trial, that was marvelous, taking the stand in his own behalf, and making a convincing recital of the facts in the case, denying absolutely that he had ever been intimate with the Sears girl in any way and at any time. The decision of the jury that was reached at about 5.30 o'clock, however, so effected the Principal that he broke down and wept like a child. The foreman had difficulty in making any further announcement following his statement of "not guilty" owing to the cheering and open enthusiasm expressed by Bantum's friends at his acquittal. The case of Bantum's had attracted widespread attention, especially as the defendant had been principal of one of the oldest secondary schools in the city for the past nine years, and a teacher for five years previous, while the girl, who was the chief witness in the case, only confessed to being alleged intimacy with Bantum following charges brought by John Hall, now and at that time Janitor of the school, who for some personal grievance against the principal had accosted two police officers months following the events were alleged to have occurred, with the tale that Bantum had taken this girl into the school, into his office, and had had intercourse with her. When called to the stand, Hall, who had been sentenced to prison terms several times previous, made conflicting statements as to the time the events are alleged to have occurred, and was unable to give the jury any definite evidence to work upon. The mother of the girl knew nothing of the happenings in the case, as did the father, who had been separated from his wife for sometime, so that neither could make any points necessary for the conviction of the principal, even to the child's age. The child further alleged that Bantum had been, familiar with her on one occasion previous. After an objection on this point by Bantum's attorney, as admissible evidence and the overturning of the point by Judge Dohner, the testimony was allowed, but not proven owing to the conflicting testimony given by the girl. In giving his evidence Bantum denied absolutely all of the charges made by the girl, declaring that while at his house after the first trial had been postponed she made a signed statement denying that she had previously said, and freeing him (Bantum) of all guilt in the matter, the letter was produced and accepted as evidence in the court. In handing his case to the jury Attorney Wolfe asked that they take into consideration the fact that the girl's age had not been proven to be under 14, at the time the act was alleged to have been committed, and also because of the many different statements made by the witness for the State on the same evidence; that the whole story was a rrained up life drummed into the girl's mind by the police in conjunction with Hall, whose personal grudge against Dantum was the instigation of the whole proceedings, and upon these two points aloft, acquit the prisoner. The acquittal followed.

THE NEGRO'S CHALLENGE. Our country's voice is pleading The call to arms has come And we are not unheeding We've answered every one. We've with the old Red, White and Blue You need from us no vow. We've always to our trust been true And we'll not be less now. When duty call'd for men who'd brave The despair angry wrath, Their lives, their all they gladly gave Theirs was the martyrs' path. They fought for justice, truth and right They'd not to tyrants bow. The Lord God helped them in their fight And he will help us now. On Massachusetts wind-swept plains, There freedom cried for birth, At Pillow and at New Orleans. There fought the "brave of earth" Amid the rain of shot and shell, Up Sun Jumis's bloody brow, No foe could stop them, the they fell, And none can stop them now. From cast to west they hear the cry, From north to south they come To live, to fight, to fail, to die Do die 'till victory, Do die 'till God preside, To strike one mighty blow, The flag is ours' whatever betide And we'll protect it now. Democracy, the Nations' hope, Thou gift of God to man— Thou give all the bread and boundless scope, Send peace throughout our land. Break down the bars of prejudice Fulfill thine unified vow. Make this the land of freedom's bliss The land of freedom—NOW. JOHNSON. Patterson, June 25. MAN WHO KEEPS HIS WORD "The most important man in the world today is the man who keeps his word." These are the words of a successful man whose work is well known. There is wisdom in this man's words. The great fault that is found with the workers of this day is their inability or unwillingness to fulfill their part of the contract. When a man promises to meet you at a certain time and fails to keep his engagement with you, he is full of excuses of lack of patience he has been unable to keep his word with you. When as a matter of fact he has not even tried to be on time. Sometimes he will squirm and twist in every conceivable way to make you believe it is no fault of his, when as a matter of face, he has deliberately fallen down and never really intended to be there on the time he promised. The great demand of the day is for reliable people. The man who when he says he will be at a certain place or will do a certain thing at a certain time, is the man that gets the very best jobs and incidentally the best paying one. It is aggravating in the extreme to have a man promise to meet you at a certain place at a certain time and then be kept waiting for a half hour or more after the time. He is not only wasting his time, but worse, wasting your time, which he has no business to do. There is many a man who would rather put up with the cient workmen who will always be on time rather than have more efficient workmen who can never be depended upon. Many people praise about what they can do and promise to do it, but never do it. People who do not know how to deal with the agreement ought to be made in some way to pay for it. Such people need hard and fast rules, and ought to be made to pay even at a sacrifice. If you want to take a chance you have no right to take it at another's expense. You should pay the bill. There is an old adage that a man's word should be as good as his husband's men's word are better than their bond. And it is these men who go to the front and are always in demand. LOOK OUT FOR OUR WOMEN In view of the fact that there are so many new places being opened to colored women to work where they have never worked before, it seems to us that some of those who are engaged in social work would do well to look into conditions surrounding the work our women are being called upon to do. We have no knowledge that in any of them they are working under anything else but ideal conditions, but we do not know, for sure that they are. We have too much at stake to allow them to work under or than the very best conditions,owe it to ourselves to be positive in it. We all know very well, as a rule, colored women considered to need all the things we do women and girls need, and as we is a demand at present for the pieces of colored women far beyond thing in the past, it is the part of adon that we see to it that they work der conditions which will help her than retard SEEING THE LIGHT SLOWLY The editor of the Little Rock, (Ark.) Gazette seems to think the Americans will make much of recent lynchings in Georgia and elsewhere, to the detriment of the Americans in the war, that it will be hard to make the central Powers, feel very kindly towards America's brand of World "Democracy." He says: "They know nothing of Georgia's local conditions in England or in France, even if knowledge of these conditions would help. Our battle cry 'A World Safe for Democracy' does not fit in with such barbarity." Now this is just what almost every Negro newspaper in the country has been saying all the time. When the editor of an Arkansas newspaper comes to the same conclusion we look forward in hope that for self preservation, if for nothing else, our Southern white friends will be able to see the error of their ways and repent, believe, and if necessary be baptized with the spirit of brotherly love to all regardless of race, color or previous condition. Editorial Comment THE NEGRO SOLDIER AT THE FRONT Once more the attention of the public has been called to the sign service which is intended to the sign service which is intended to the cause of the Allies. Recently that service was made the subject of a complimentary resolution in the French Chamber of Deputies, and it is now announced that the service is traveling through French West Africa with a view to intensifying voluntary enlistment amongst the different tribes that people those vast territories. The announcement could not be made at the present, when the American newspapers are enthusiastically praising the Negro troops of the United States Army at the front for their bravery, self-abnegation, and exemplary treatment. Nine newspapers have been raised among the Negro race for service abroad, and the men who compose their ranks have manifested much the same enthusiasm and comprehension of the lofty task before us as their white comrades-in-arms. The war, it is said, has receded to the Negro a new world. As far as the French Negro forces, which number at least 120,000 men, are concerned, their conception of service has assumed a form of patriotism almost unchanged, to remember with regard to the employment of French black troops is that they are in a literal sense defenders of their territories against conquest by a ruthless foe. One of the distinct objects of Germany in the war was the French African colonies. This circumstance was brought out in the conversations between the German Chancellor and the British Ambassador in Berlin, on July 29, 1914, when Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg declared that he was quite ready. In return for Germany would not annex any territory in France, but would not make a like promise, with regard to the French possessions outside of Europe. France thus had no difficulty in achieving a magnificent response to the militant threat of Far Eastern colonies to rally to the defense of their land. If one may include the Arubis of Northern Africa under the same heading, then it may be literally said that hundreds of thousands of fighting men from Africa fell into the in the French and fought with French front. That fully was a magnificent tribute to the benevolent and fraternal policy of France in Africa which has secured for her such stout defenders among the people whom she has taken under her protection, and was the chief protest, which was heard in Germany's note to neutrals, against the employment of native troops in the Entente armies. This protest came with poor grace from a nation which had secretly worked to create a Holy Land peril" in Africa by fomenting a revolt against the white race in the French and English colonies. Barred from using its own native troops in Europe, Germany of the conscientious scruples did not hesitate to use them against the German colonies by fomenting the German colonies from the unsuperious owners. On the occasion of Germany's most recent protest on the subject of the employment of black troops, the note, it is fair to assume, was intended to "sense particular appeal of the American people whose population includes 10,000,000 and more Negroes. But once again Germany failed to gauge the sentiment of other nations, or the motive of the Negro population of the United States, the prestige of the white race has suffered in this war, then it is not because, as was pointed out in the French Chamber of Deputies, of the employment of Negro troops in the police, but because of Germany's ethics—Christian Science Monitor.

D., Contributing Editor Southern States Urged to Take Action To Prevent Mobi Violence or be Prepared For The Federal Government to do so. Some of the leading Southern news papers, prominent among which are the Atlanta Constitution and the Houston Post are speaking in no indetermined terms and in no uncertain manner about the "constantly recurring disgrace of mob violence" seemingly on the increase in the South. The Atlanta Constitution and the Houston issue makes this important declaration, "We must do our act ourselves or be prepared for the Federal Government to do so; for the civilized government of this country are not going to indefinitely create such primitive barbaries." And The Houston Post is as shocked in saying, "The lynching of a spy suspect in Illinois is more usable than that of Negroes for there is absolutely no question about the loyalty of the Negroes," for whose protection "there stands the solon pledge of our laws and our civilization, the violation of which dishonors every ideal for which our armies, composed of no inconsiderable degree of black fellowship, are compulsion, and asking for such cases under the purview or in charge of the Federal Government must and will. Other papers throughout the country are taking up anew this question and petitioning the government to speak out in some occasion or in the case of such cases under the purview or in charge of the Federal Courts. We know of no act of lawlessness that will so prevent the solidarity and weaken the efficiency of the American people at this time when we are at war with a foreign enemy as will the lynching of people of one race or class by those of another. Anything that will engender bitterness and hatred among the American people at this time, that will affect issues and differences, that may result in lack of harmony, lessen and weaken loyalty and patriotism among us, will only increase the enemy and demand more sacrifice and suffering and demand a greater toll in our judgment. In our judgment the thing that will most effectively and specially bring about such a state and condition among us, a state and condition that would be most deplorable is lynching which appears to be a special manifestation of American lawlessness caused by color prejudice and race hatred. The Negro people of America for long years have given practical evidence of their possession to a marked degree of the most commendable virtues of patience, forecareance and long suffering, under the most difficult and trying circumstances and the greatest provocations to revenge and resentfulness, just how much longer they may continue to possess their souls in patience under the many unjust lilies they now bear, who can tell? Certainly to do so uncomplainingly and without a spirit of bitterness and resentment growing up within and among them would be to say the least unmanly if not more than should be expected of beings made in the image of the Creator. And if this practice of lynching colored people here in America suspected of or charged with crime is not prevented by some power adequate to control them, then the creature such is reasonably expected that it, which wholly in consistent with and contrary to the principles for which we are fighting, all of us Americans—black and white alike—the principles of democracy and liberty—will understand the morale of colored troops now in the service, lessen the interests in all the movements and enterprises to help our government win in this awful struggle and weaken their loyalty to the nation. It is too hard a question for us both as a Christian man, and a teacher of Christian truths and graces to answer. How can a nation call to the defense of its homes, to the protection of its flag, to the loyal and enthusiastic support of its governmental authority a people to whom it does not accord and give the full protection which its own laws should. if they do not provide and require? Perhaps our growth in grace and spiritual development has not yet after all the years we have lived advanced far enough to enable us to do so. However, we are not unable to see the injustice involved in such a course pursued in dealing with any people and certainly not so unnually as not to register our voice and protest against it. We can see in action by the Federal Government to address the country and another way by which America help win this world war for herself and the allies—for humanity—for world democracy and liberty, and also the doing of justice—justice and only justice to a class of her citizens who suffer most from this rampant spirit of mob-violence in our country, a class of citizens than whom there are none more loyal and patriotic and none more in earnest in doing their full part in bengaling a gorious victory to our side—the side—as we see it, of justice, truth and righteousness, THE CITY BOMBARDED FROM THE AIR The managers of the War Saving Stamps campaign took a unique, if not a drastic method of stirring the Saltimores to the necessity and importance of purchasing War Saving Stamps by giving an exhibition of a battle amidst the clouds or in the rain—a duel in mid air between two aeroplanes—one raiding the other defending the city. The attacking aeroplane dropping bombs of War Saving Stamps free to those who picked up and opened the boxes containing them. The defending aeroplane making headlong for the enemy airship keeping up a rapid fire until vic- THE AFRO-AMERICAN tory was on the city's side or the enemy ship driven off. The demonstration was of itself a success and gave the citizens some idea of what a battle in the air is like, and we trust that the effect of a arousing the city to attack us is purchasing the stamps will prove even more successful. The last statement which we penned regarding the sale of the War Saving Stamps in the city was that of the allotment $12,500,000 worth, the cash sales had amounted to about two and three quarter millions or dollars—with about $500,000 pledged, only a half more than one fourth of the allotment sold and subscribed to. It is to be hoped that the spectacular demonstration gave Monday evening hurried the people that they are now purchasing stamps and subscribing to the War Saving Fund in such a way that the city's full quota will be disposed of. The purchase of War Saving Stamps is one of the ways they tell us we can help win this war, and what Baltimore does not want to help in so great and good an undertaking? Let us all purchase and subscribe, purchase us and subscribe, purchase us and our way clear to pay the subscription, until every dollar Curel Sam needs to win the war is at his use and on his demand. THE END SEEMS TO BE COMING If the most recent news received from the different war zones can be depended upon as correct and true, then we may hope and even believe that the beginning of the end of the war has commenced. The conditions which are said to now exist in enemy countries—the great victory of the Italianies over the Austrians—the falling out of two of Germany's allies—unrest in the 'German Empire—the presence of nearly a million of American soldiers now in France. All point to the inevitable result which is certainly coming, and coming undoubtedly sooner than we dared hope that it would even a few weeks ago. We do not think by any means that the war is about over, and that we with our allies have surely won, but we strongly suspect that victory will be ours when we have paid the price that a righteous victory demands, and this victory will come the sooner and the faster as with renewed hope and courage—with fresh vigor and strong determination we encourage our boys at the front to be strong, courageous, brave to quit themselves, as men, and we here at home do our full part in providing everything for their support and comfort while at the front, and at the same time do a nation liberty-loving and co-fencing, what is fair and right and just and true to all our citizens here—no matter what their state and condition—their race or color. The Colored Division of The Maryland Council of Defense And Rev. W. M. Alexander, D. D. From articles which appeared in the Voice and the Afro-American of last week there is evidently a difference of opinion regarding the contest between the two parties, aple to be held under the supervision of the Maryland Council of Defense's colored division some time during the month of August. In the question on which the differencerose, is the advisability of the Defense Council's Colored Division turning over the matter of the proposed Wiesonice County Colored Fair Association, and the holding of the fair on their grounds at Sulisbury, Md. To this proposition Rev. Dr. Alexander, a member of the Division, is opposed and the reasons for his opposition he sets forth clearly in the last issue of The Voice. He not only opposes the holding of the Fair at an opposition he truly located in the state, and therefore not the most suitable and convenient place for exhibitors and visitors who may be expected from all sections of the state, but because in his judgment the Division should not shift the responsibility and management of the same had been committed to it as a section of the State Council of Defense. In his article Dr. Alexander makes the complaint that the plans and doings of the Division are known to only a few of its members, until the ends or aims desired are accomplished. Holding a commission from the Governor of the State as member of the division his contention is that if his commission and membership count for anything they at least give him some relation thereafter, then nothing of the merits of the matter, which was the occasion of this apparent disagreement. And although we too, hold a commission from His Excellency the Governor, as a member of the Division we have never received a notice of his publications, and have no knowledge of what it has done or is contemplating doing only as such has been and as published in the papers, and made known at the public meetings which have been held under the Division's auspices and have enlisted the interest of colored citizens. It is certain that the work of this division of the State Council of Defence can be done most efficiently through its executive officers and its regularly and duly appointed commandant, who will question either the wisdom or the propriety of having them do it; nevertheless all the members, especially and particularly those who are easily accessible should be given an opportunity to confer and consult at least advice, or express an opinion in the matter. Speaking to an executive officer of the Division regarding what the papers stated respecting the action taken by those present at the record meeting, that Alexander's pledged that action should be pledged that "Dr. Alexander is about ninety-eight percent Fight." If this be true then we have no hesitation in saying, that there should be such a course outlined and followed by the commandant that will eliminate as far as possible any occasion for disagreement. The Colored Division of the Maryland State Council of Defense has a large field for helpful and useful activity in this time of present war con- ditions, and every thing should be done, that is right and proper to deepen and intensify the interest of all our people in doing their full part in helping to bring about the conditions for which the Council was organized and is working, and thus call for repeated practical evidences of the power and ability. There is work enough for us all to do, and there is the joy that comes to all who render efficient service to our state and our country now when such services is so much needed and highly appreciated by those who are in the places of great responsibility and authority. This of itself should be to all the members of any division in harmonious action and furnish glory enough too, for every loyal citizen and true patriot. The Forum. A VOICE FROM VIRGINIA EASTERN Mr. Editor: Will you allow me space in your valuable paper to speak just a word in reference to the State Agricultural Congress under the supervision of Auxiliary of Maryland Defense Council. We sincerely hope that the committee appointed to go to Salisbury to inspect the Fair Grounds will respond favorably. We need just an answer to this question. Our farmers here are thriving for knowledge and contact. Baltimore is surrounded with attractions at all times and I do not believe there is any town in the state that would give the State Wide Agricultural Congress a broader welcome than Salisbury. Or that would draw a larger concourse of people. The writer is not a Marylander but one who is broad enough to see the benefits of such a movement as this in the vicinity. So anxious have the money kings of the Eastern Shore been for a gathering where they might display their productions and learn more about "the ton grow," that for (8) eight consecutive years they have individually put up thousands of dollars each year for this purpose, and for this annual gathering is the only one among Negroes of its kind in the state. Delaware, Maryland and Virginia have been training horses, combing cattle and laying aside the best for the last nine months. Then again the Maryland Defense Council stands for conservation, a movement authorized by U.S. Sam but almost unknown to the farmers in rural districts, especially the Eastern Shore. Why? Because many of our people don't read; others can't read, and bushels and bushels of produce is wasted on account of not being properly informed, and I truthfully tell you that hundreds of acres of land is laying uncutured because they just don't feel like bothering in the cities and towns where are speaking before the public to teach the people, but in this section all the benefit the farmers get along this line is at the annual gathering at Salisbury once a year. We predict without any fear of contradiction that should the State Wide Agricultural Congress favorably consider Salisbury, that if its finance they want and patronism they will not be disappointed and thanks to Dr. Alexander, the we are not central we have the power to attract folks, both white and black, that cannot be surpassed anywhere in the state.

A LETTER FROM CAMP MEADEN Camp Meade, MD, June 26—As we were about to leave for France, many of our mothers, wives and sweethearts were down to see us off, and our hearts cannot express the joy and encouragement it gave to us. But still there is a great question that comes to our mind. It is this: Where were our fathers? It was thought by some of us, that some of them had to stay at home and attend to their sweethearts there, while we go over and do our bit for their glory and freedom. Although some of you forget to come and see us off, our plea is this: Please do not forget our mothers. LEWIS E. BRENT. Camp Meade, Md The Afro Busy Thrifters. W.S.S.

Worth Knowing SAVE SUGAR RECIPES I wonder why we always say "The good old fashion" as if the old fashions were so much better than the new. I am thinking that there are a lot of old fashions that have been well lost, and the fashion of short skirts is one of them. The short skirt had its day and it is now the staging of the past. Are you young? Try? Of course not, especially when you think of the extremes to which it was carried. Of course there are people who carry things to extremes in anything and everything. When one thinks of the skirt, one has heard about women and the short skirt we are, more than glad that fashion has decreed the skirt that we wear longer. Lady Puff Gordon the raptous fashion says "she is more than glad the short skirt has to go." In the ever popular smock: the high collar and the ever popular uniform that is being adopted it will be entirely of place to see a woman or girl on the street dressed as though wearing it to a full dress reception instead of on an ordinary shopping trip. Of course there is the woman that no amount of talking to will teach common sense; she can not be made to see that she is a mark for amusements; she can not be made to parade the street dressed like a circus rider, with painted checks, powdered face (that looks as though she had dipped her head in a flour parcel), dress cut down to the waist in the back, and bare armed, and the neck in the back, and between the ankles and the knees; he looked little rolls over her cars and plastered so flat over her forehead that you wonder every time you look at her now long she took to get it to lay at just that angle, or else so curled and so tight that she can even hold a little poodle dog with hoofs high that she can hardly walk in act looks as though she were walking on stilts, and those stockings. We are told that women dress to please the men, perhaps she does, but few women dress to please the men she dresses in such a manner that she is the laughing stock of others. A week ago I sat in the picture how and the comments of three very young men, that sat behind me was a woman, that I did not look to be over twenty, the picture was a late one and the style and length of the dresses started the conversation. They talked of the effect of short dresses on the average woman, of the extreme in styles and who they that of the average girl who had at common sense enough to wear that was becoming to her regardless of sex war and sex qualities and sex differentialis and the bearing dress had all three. I heard all about first love and what it meant psychologically was analyzed, too searchingly, that I DATE PUDDING A sugarless pudding which uses both rasp and sweet fruit, cups milk, 2 cup corn or maple sirup, 1 pound diced eat up small, trussed poisons cornstarch, 2 teaspoon salt, teaspoon vinegar. Mix the cornstarch with 1-1 cup of the milk and pour the milk in a double boiler. Add the cornstarch,rup, dates, and salt, and stir until stick, cover and cook for 20 minutes, add the vanilla and pour into a dish cool. Serves five people. Prunes are good instead of dates.

They were so eagerly interested that I think they did not realize that they were in conversation pretty often since and wondered what the girl would think who could have heard herself dissected in that manner and if the average girl would not think twice before dressing herself in a conspicuous manner for street or the home. The present situation is so very sensible that the woman who is not sensibly and becomingly dressed is either blind or a crunk. The wise woman of today has discovered that she can wear a blue serge suit on the street, to an afternoon or evening and well dressed. A well made blue serge suit has this advantage it can be worn again and again, made over to an advantage and your very best friend will not be able to tell how many sessions it has been made to do duty. It does not have monotonous, hence it will do for all occasions so long as it holds together. Sport suits are very popular and can be worn at all times and at all places; so my dear girls it is not necessary to dress conspicuous. Dress modestly and you should be well dressed. The woman whose dress is plainly and becoming made is always well dressed. Her clothes are made to fit the woman, not the woman to fit the clothes. Do not buy clothes with too much flair; they look well on some one else they will look well on you. What is becoming to your friend or to some one one else may make you look like a scare-crow. If you must, wear fancy dresses be sure they are also flared. Do not wear a thousand and one colors at one time and do not wear red or light blues and greens simply because you are fond of those colors; find out what color is the most becoming to your complexion and whether it be the popular color or not. The styles and colors of today are so many and so varied that the woman who is not becomingly and well dressed has not only poor shoes, but also mismatched clothing elections for herself. After selecting your dress not to spoil the effect by wearing shoes with French heels and pointed toes, and a large picture hat with a tailored suit that requires a small boot with a low or calf heel; and be sure your gloves are the right color. Now-a-day hats, bags and gloves match each other and though they may be a different color they are inconspicuous. Pay attention to details they are the things that count. The modern girl and the short skirt has been a problem, but with the passing of the old fashion and the coming of the new we can be thankful that we have been able to become a nuisance, and in some instances a positive disgrace. CAKE WITHOUT SUGAR It doesn't taste not quite so sweet as with sugar. 1-4 cup butter, oleomargarine or other fat. 1 1-2 tablespoons baking powder. 1 1-2 teaspoon salt. 1 cup milk. 1 cup milk, shortening, and the stirrup and the egg, and mix well. Add the milk. Sift the baking powder and flour together, add it slowly to the mixture and beat. Bake in a moderate oven as a load or layer cake or pudding.

To polish floors rub them once a week in bees wax and turpentine. Straw matting should never be washed in anything but warm water and salt. Angel cake can be cut easily if knife is wet in cold water. To test eggs, drop egg in dish of cold water if they sink they are fresh. A teaspoonful of turpentine added to a pool of warm water is excellent for all cleaning purposes, also put a little in the suds on wash days. Before putting your liquid glue away, having used it, pour a few drops of vinegar into the bottle and you will find it like a freshly opened bottle when you use it again. Green vegetables should always be cooked in salted water. Earthy roots should be well scrubbed before peeling. Cover your cook-book with a piece of oilcloth. A quarter of pound of meat a day is enough for each member of the family. Brown sugar is certainly sweeter and it is said to be more wholesome than white. Orange marmalade put up in small glasses makes a nice gift for a sick peron. Lined saucepans should be used whenever possible for the cooking of vegetables. A linen case lined with a piece of oil cloth is excellent for holding rubbers wet or dry. A MILITARY WRIST WATCH It is almost an essential part of a soldiers equipment. Supply your boy to carry a backpack or go on a hike to write letters for it. A watch with leather wristlet complete may be gotten for $5. The dials and figures of a watch are needed that they are visible in the dark. MOTUS Do not forget in house-cleaning and the packing away of the winter clothes that the pest, the moth is to be reckoned with. Begin right now to prepare a moth trap to be reckoned with and guarded against with every precaution. Tar bugs is one sort of ammunition available. They are made with rods and hooks inside to hang the clothes on then the top is clamped over and the moths are made to hold three and four garments. Then there is the ever ready newspaper and moth balls, and tobacco stems which are death to the pest. FRUIT FOR DESSERT Raw, stewed or baked fruits, dried or fresh, and dried sweet fruits like dates, figs and raisins. By using fruit for desert instead of rich pies, fruits can be used for flour and fats as well as sugar. Besides, the fruits are more wholesome and often less expensive. Bake or stew your fruit with corn sugar instead of sugar. The result is very good. For stewing use in soups, casseroles, and pies. When dried fruit is used, soak it first in water overnight and cook for 10 minutes.

The offering of incense has formed a part of religious ceremonies of ancient nations. Paz, St. Luke, Rev. Paz, Lev, Caut, etc. When the motion was troubled God told Alces to burn incense. Many of our good Americans burn our incense in their meditations and prayers for their own benefits and also for our country's victory. There is a good reason using Psychological incense in our prayers. In old times the use of incense was considered as a sacred act and was used extensively to thank and please God for favors granted and to keep away evil. In our difficulties now as in old times we are turning to God for help and are using His blessed incense for our personal benefits and for our dear brothers and sisters abroad who are fighting God's Some fourteen years ago I had a vision about the world war, the details of which are well known to my friends. Now again the world war has taken over. I feel my duty to inform you that God requests you to lift your mind, heart and soul in Victory Prayers at least twice daily and use our blessed Temple facade which I have blessed for Victory. God has shown me that he wants our country to be successful in establishing His Justice, His Freedom. His Righteousness over the entire world. Are you well prepared to face God? If you cannot be a MILITARY soldier, be a soldier of the LORD, be a soldier in prayer, be a soldier in work. Be a soldier in doing the Country for Democracy, Justice and Liberty's sake. We must all help the best way we can. Here are God's own words: Soldiers, Jesus is our Captain.... Heb. H1:10. He will lead us in the fight. John x:11. He will strengthen, guide and help us—If Cor. If we keep the armor bright.—Eph. vi:11. Lift our banner wave it high.—Ps. ix:4. Though our threefold foe be mighty.—Ronn. vii:23. Soldiers, now the war is raging.—I Tinn. xi:3, 10. Faint not at the hardness here—Ia Tinn. xi:3, 10. Rading devils seek our ruin.—Pet. v:3. Fight on Comrades, Volunteer.—Isa. xi:13. Think of those who fought for See they fall on every hand.—Rom. xvii:29. Glory, Glory, Halleljah.— Ex. xv.20. For we are the Conquerer's band.— Isa. xvv.8. The volunteers are sure of victory. —I Cor, xv:57. Therefore, be firm unto the end— I Cor, xv:58. Jesus is our strength and friend.—I II Tim. iv. 117. Face the foe in every battle.—Isa. xii. 11. c. Courtesans think of God's own promise.—Rev. ii. 126. If we are true and faithful here.— Rev. iii. 5. Confessed by Christ before the angels.—Rev. iii. 5. A brave and loyal volunteer.—Rev. iii. 5. You are requested to volunteer your services to God, to our country and to the world at large. Do your bit NOW and right along. Use my blessed Psychological Temp- ple Incense. It will help you, your dear ones at a distance, and the country, too. 256 per package. Ask your druggist to get it for you, call if convenient, or write to: IREV. LEO S. O'GAMAN 1625 PENSXVANIA AVE.

Mrs. Thomas Smith and family. 230 W. Biddle St. There are so many no-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. Soeby'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; hair-raising is the main of long hair; quinade 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 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 kathers 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—Advert Mme. M. A. HUNTER'S Mme. M. A.
