Washington, District of Columbia By the authority and direction of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, Eunnett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, called to Washington this week for a conference, thirty or forty representatives of important colored newspapers of the country, together with a number of the leaders of thought and opinion among the Negro people, to consider methods by which the millions of colored people of the nation may best assist in the winning of the war. PROCEEDINGS MARKED BY DIGNITY AND UNITY. The Conference formally opened Wednesday morning, June 19, in the main auditorium of the new building of the Department of the Interior. 18th and F streets northwest, at 10:30 o'clock, and continued throughout Thursday and Friday, June 20 and 21. Mr. Scott presided at all of the sessions which were marked by an earnestness of purpose, broad group of the quorum at issue, and an unwavering loyalty to the flag of the nation, as well as by an intense devotion to the highest interests of the colored Americans for whom they primarily to speak. The discussion covered a wide range and the conferences were given an opportunity to present their views, reflecting the state of mind of the colored people of the country, with the utmost freedom and frankness, unhampered by parliamentary restrictions or any effort to direct opinion in any particular channel—save that of utilizing in the most effective manner every resource at the command of the race to bring victory to the American arms in its present struggle for liberty and world-wide democracy. Mr. Scott's admirably-tempered addresses at various stages, the deliberations repeatedly admonished the conferences to voice their sentiments fully and fearlessly, for their redress upon the common altar, with the view of strengthening where needed the patriotic morale of the Negro people. So fair and impartial were the ranges of the child upon every event raised or principle enunciated tah at no time was a single exception taken to them. Every conceivable shade of individual opinion was represented in the body but there was from the outset a firm disposition to subordinate private and personal considerations to the general good, without regard to politics, creed, faction or section. This lofty dignity was adhered to most religiously. Dignity of statement, harmony of thought and unity of action were the predominating features of the three day's session. The document, reported by the special committee appointed to summarize the expression of the conference as to the best plans for the mobilization of the resources of the 12,000,000 Negroes of the Republic in support of the war aims of the government, was adopted by a unanimous vote, given heartily and enthusiastically. "America" was sung for fervor and enunciation as final adjournment was taken. NOTABLE ADDRESSES BY OFFICIALS OF HIGH STATION. The conference was addressed in the impatiate vein, during the sessions, by the following notable officials of high station: Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War; Mr. George Creel, Chairman of the Committee on Public Information; Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; Major Edouard Requin and Major Marcel, Director, of the French High Commission. EXTRACT FROM RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. The following is extract from the Resolutions adopted by the conference: "We, the thirty-one representatives of the Negro press which has a circulation of more than a million copies, principially among the colored people of America, and representives of other activities, wish to affirm first of all, our UNAUTABLE BELIEF THAT THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT AND WHAT IT TODAY REPRESENTS IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE TO THE WELFARE OF THE WORLD IN GENERAL, AND TO OUR PEOPLE IN PARTICULAR. "We deem it hardly necessary, in view of the untutured record of Negro Americans, to defile, our loyalty to our country, and our readiness to make our sacrifice to win this war. We wish, however, we students and guides of public opinion among our people, to use our every endeavor to keep these 12,000,000 people at the highest pitch, not simply of passive loyalty, but of active, enthusiastic and self-sacrificing participation in the war. "We are not unmindful of the recognition of our American citizenship in the draft, of the appointment of colored officers, of the designation of colored advisors to the Government departments, and to other indications of a broadened public opinion, nevertheless we believe today, justifiable grievances of the colored people are producing not disloyalty, but an amount of unrest and bitterness which even the best efforts of their leaders may not be able always to guide unless they can have the active and sympathetic cooperation of the National and State governments, German propaganda among us is powerless, but the apparent indifference of our own Government may be dangerous. "The American Negro does not expect to the whole Negro problem settled immediately; he is not seeking to hold-up a striving country and a distracted world by pushing irrelevant personal grievances as a price of loyalty; he is not disposed to catalogue, in this tremendous crisis, all his complaints and disabilities; he is more than willing to do his full share in helping to win the war for democracy and he expects his full share of the fruits thereof—but he is today compelled to ask for that minimum of consideration which will enable him to be an efficient fighter for VICTORY." SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL DIVERSIONS. To enlist the occasion for the distinguished visitors a local committee of citizens provided a series of entertainments, which included, among other interesting things, a theatre party of fifty at the Howard Theatre, Wednesday evening to witness the presentation of "The Divorce Question" by the Quality Assurance Company, of New York City; a smoker and importer on Thursday evening in the monthly room of the 12th Street Y. M. C. A., with Attorney W. L. Houston as tourmaster; and a tour of the city Friday afternoon in sightseeing automobiles, covering views of the parks and public buildings, and the schools, churches, business houses and homes of Colored Washingtonians. On Thursday afternoon, Capt. Arthur S. Spigharn presented at the Army Medical Museum a highly instructive moving picture, titled "Fit to Fight," emphasizing the value of physical health in the army and depicting the dangers to which soldiers subjected in the matter of disease and dissipation, with suggestions for recreational centers and other agencies for wholesome and moral diversions for the soldiers in camps and cantments.

Justice Wainhouse Lynn, of the Municipal Court of the Seventh District, last Tuesday awarded $100 each to Shepard, N. Edmonds and William Vodery, colored, and to Louis Dean and Raymond Matthews, whites, in a case based upon discrimination of four plaintiffs by Edwin Hotz, owner of a restaurant and cafe at 780 Eighth avenue. On April 18 last the four men went together to Hotz's cafe. As they approached the bar, Edmonds, one of the colored men, asked the three other in the party what they would have to drink. The two white men ordered whiskey, and nothing was said about the price. When one of the colored men ordered gin and the other a nip of ale with beer added, each was informed by the bartender he would have to pay fifty cents a drink. The two white men then asked the price of the whiskey, and were told "fifty cents a drink." One of the colored men then ordered a glass of beer instead, and was told it would be fifty cents also. The other colored man refused to drink anything. After the drinks were served a bill was given the bartender in payment, and he took out only seventy-five cents for the round. The men testified at the hearing that previous to that date they had been served by the defendant with the same whiskey for fifteen cents per drink. Justice Lynn, in rendering his decision, said it was based upon the section of the Civil Rights law, which provides that no proprietor or a place of public accommodation shall directly or indirectly hold any person on account of race, creed or color, to be objectionable or unwelcome. He said: "This, whole case presents an atmosphere of a sharp discrimination against all of these people, directly against the black men, and indirectly against the white men for being in the company of black men, and theendant his forgiveness his duty to the public inn, and the laws of our state compel him to treat all who enter with fairness and without discrimination. He has offended our law by an attempted evasion by charging what he supposed was a prohibitory price for his refreshment. His place may be a select one for only white trade, but his treatment of the two white men on a par with his conduct towards the black men." New York, 1,000, Camp Dis, New Jersey.

For the past 28 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 could continue to purchase it. In spite of their lathers 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 quotations. The need of paying our workmen a living wage under present conditions hardly calls for mention here. Ordinary laborers are now getting $3 to $8.50 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. 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 bear cheerfully the burden that the war places upon us. The Band Plays and Lightens Hearts in Sorrow-Stricken France With the American Army in France, June 30—One of the best things of the first Afro-American contribution to the French line is its band. Subsidized by D. G. Reid with a check for $10,000, and organized by James R. Europe, "America's leading colored orchestra leader," now a Lieutenant in the regiment, the colored band is fast becoming celebrated throughout France. At the A. E. P.'s chief recreation centre a big silver cup and several golden palms were presented to the musicians by the municipality. Sergt. Noble Sissle, the regimental drum major, has made a study of the effect of Yankee ragtime, as interpreted by his bandmen, on French audiences. He has addressed the following summary of his impressions to the correspondent of The Inquirer with the American press. After so many articles about the American hands and real need of them in France, I thought I would write you concerning some of our experiences in the—New York Infantry Band 'over here.' "When our country was dawn-mad a few years ago, we quite agreed with the popular Broadway song composer who wrote: Synconation rules the nation You can't get away from it. "But if you could see the effect our good old jazz' melodies have on the peoples of every race and creed you would change the word 'nation' quoted above to 'world.' "Inasmuch as the press seems to have kept the public well informed of our band's effort to make the boys happy in this land where everybody speaks everything but English, I will assume that you know Lieutenant James Reese Europe, its organizer and conductor. This Lieutenant Europe is the same Europe whose orchestras are considered to have done a goodly share toward making syncopated music popular on Broadway. Having been associated with Lieutenant Europe in civil life during his 'jazz bombardment' on the delicate, classical, musical ears of New York's critics, and having wattened The Walls of Jerice' come tumbling down, I was naturally curious to see what would be the effect of a 'real American tune', as Victor Herbert calls our Southern syncopated tunes, as played by a real American band. "At last the opportunity came, and it was at a town in France where there were no American troops, and our audience, with the exception of an American general and his staff, was all French people. I am sure the French people had never heard a ragtime number. So what happened can be taken as a杰特 of the success of our music in this country, where all is sadness and sorrow. "THE MUSICIST RULES." "The program started with a French march, followed by favorite overtures and vocal selections by our male quartette, all of which were heartily applauded. The second part of the program opened with "The Stars and Stripes Forever," the great Sousa march, and before the last note of the martial ending had been finished the next day was...wading with applauses; Next for the final note was "Plantation Melodies" and then came the fireworks, "The Memphis Blues." "Lieutenant Europe, before raising his baton, twitched his shoulders, apparently to be sure that his tight-fitting military coat would stand the strain, each musician shifted his feet, the players of brass horns blew the saliva from their instruments, the drummers tightened their drumheads, every one settled back in their seats, half closed their eyes, and when the baton came down with a swoop that brought forth a southing crash both director and musicians seemed to forget their surroundings; they were lost in scenes and memories. Cornet and clarinet players began to manipulate notes in that typical rhythm (that rhythm which no artist has ever been able to put down on paper); as the drummers struck, their stride their shoulders began shaking in time to their syncopated raps. AUDIENCE SWAYED IN UNISON "Then, it seemed, the whole audi PRICE 3 Cents in Maryland 5 Cents outside of Maryland e French Battlefront Copyright Western Newspaper Service and Lightens now-Stricken France once began to sway, dignified French officers began to put their feet along with the American general, who, temporarily, had lost his style and grace. Lieutenant Europe was no longer the Lieutenant Europe of a moment ago, but once more Jim Europe, who a few months ago rocked New York with his synaptoized baton. His body swayed motions and his hands bobbing as when terpsichorean festivities reigned supreme. He turned to the trombone players, who sat impatiently waiting for their cue to have a "Jazz spasm," and they drew their slides out to the extremity and jerked them back with that characteristic crack (a la soixta guinze). "The audience could stand it no longer; the Jazz gern" hit them, and it seemed to find the vital spot, loosening all muscles and causing what is known in America as an 'Eagle Rocking Fit.' "There now," I said to myself, "Col.-Ihas brought his band over here and started ragtimots in France; aint this an awful thing to visit upon a nation with so many burdens? But when the band had finished and the people were roaring with laughter, their faces wreathed in emiles, I was forced to say that this is just what France needs at this critical moment. "All through France the same thing happened. Troop and soldiers, over everywhere pushed out on route, and every head came out of the window when we struck up a good old Dibble tune. Even German prisoners forgot they were prisoners, dropped their work to listen and put their feet to the stirring American tunes. "But the thing that capped the climax happened up in Northern France. We were playing our Colonel's favorite ragtime, 'The Army Blues,' in a little village where we were the first American troops there, and among the crowd listening to that band was an old lady about sixty years of age. To every one's surprise, all of a sudden she started doing a dance that resembled 'Walking the Dog.' Then I was cured, and satisfied that American music would some day be the world's music. While at Alx les Balts other musicians from American bands said their experiences had seen the same. "Who would think that little U. S. A. would ever give to the world a rhythm and melodies that, in the midst of such universal sorrow, would cause all students of music to yearn to learn how to play it. Such is the case, because every musician we meet—and they all seem to be masters of the instruments—are able to make the boys to teach them how to play ragtime. sometimes think if the Kaiser ever heard a good syncopated melody he would not take himself so seriously. "If France was well supplied with American bands, playing their lively tunes, I'm sure it would help a good deal in bringing home entertainment to our boys, and at the same time make the heart of sorrow-striken France beat a dead lighter." 351st and 358th Safe In France Word has been received in this city that the 368th Infantry and the 351st Field Artillery Regiments have landed safely overseas. Most of the Artillery Regiment is composed of Baltimore more boys and since they left Camp Meade several weeks ago there has been some speculation as to just where they were. No definite information concerning there whereabouts was received, however, until Monday, when cards were received announcing the safe arrival of the boys "over there." No information is obtainable as to just what port they landed as this information is not given" out by the War Department. The Infantry companies are commanded, for the most part by colored officers and folks at home are looking for them to give a good account of themselves. Men To Be Trained At Atlanta University For Higher Branches of The War Service Over one hundred of the pick of Baltimore's select left, Candlen Station early of Monday morning for the first lap, of a long, long journey. The first objective is Atlanta University, the second, France and the third, Berlin. These men, all of whom are at least eight grade pupils, were chosen from the various wards of the city and met at the district headquarters and met Monday morning and their final instructions. The fact that the boys were ordered to report before most Baltimore were out of their beds kept large numbers from seeing them off, but they were not forgotten, for quite a few experienced the novel sensation of getting up before the sun in order to bid godspost to those who were going to the heart of the Southland. While a number of the selects were ordered to report at 5.30, it was after six before they all put in their appearance. The 14th Ward contingent was the first to reach Candlen Station, and they were quickly followed by girls from the city and the rest. They were happy looking lot, and a fine, intelligent looking bunch. As they crowded into the four coaches reserved for them they called back messages to send to their wives, sweethearts and mothers. These selects will form part of a group of about three hundred, who will take special training for three months at Atlanta University, and a number of them will probably receive commissions. Training will be given in radio engineering, electrical engineering, auto mechanics, blacksmithing and the operation of motor vehicles. 5th WARD George Mitchell, Lawrence 'Green, George Onehle, Clarence Howard, Raymond Hamilton, Samuel Downs, John McCauley, John John, Wo McCauley and Frank Stokes. 11th WARD S D.

FOR THE SUMMER The Cosmopolitan Choral Society held their closing exercises at Ebenezer A. M. I. E. Church on last Sunday, June 30. The auditorium was comfortably filled when Dr. Chas. E. Stewart, pastor of the church and director of the Society mounted the rostrum after the opening hymn, the following numbers were rendered in their order: "Pilgrims Chorus," "War Vespers," "Russian Song, by Miss Lilian A. Evans, the soloist of the evening, after which "Walk Together Children and Ecstasy" feel the Spirit, but be united in the audience with a swing, snap and vim that showed careful training and intimate acquaintance with the subject after which Miss Evans sang "I Know that My Redeemer Lives," a song that reached the hearts of the audience. The Society next sang the "Bridal Chorus" a new selection which was excellently rendered. The recital closed with the rendition of "Inflammatus," Miss Evans singing the Obligate, supported by the Choral Society. This number alone was well worth going miles to hear. Both Miss Evans and the members of the Choral Society were in excellent form as the quality and rendition of the numbers showed. Nearly 100 voices and at their best was the consensus of opinion of the pleased and satisfied audience and they efficiently left the church before the final performance of the audience was entertained in a novel manner by having the notices and other announcements thrown on a screen, after which "The Madonna," a picture showing man's inhumanity to man, until an inspiration from the Blessed Virgin awakens the rich man to his sense of duty, etc. These attractions are glowing tributes to the wide awake energetic and hustling pastor, Rev.

Simpson Brooks gave to the large congregation present on inking of the plans he has arranged for the future when he announced that the next big rally for the church would be for $33,000. "We have been paying interest long enough," he said, "and it is time we finisher spending big money in interest and devote some of it to the principal incestedness of the church." Pastor Brooks announced further that he had received assurances of support from a number of the members of the church, some individuals promising to give, one, two and five hundred dollars, if the rally were put on foot. When asked if the members of the church were in favor of undertaking such a task, nearly every hand in the church went up. EXECUTION LECTURE COURSE UN- DER CANVASS PAVILION Directed by Pastor M. C. Strachan Of The Seventh Day Adventist Church An outdoor religious campaign of a most exceptional order has just opened in the city of Baltimore under the direction of Matthew C. Strachan, the new pastor of the Adventist Church, Druld Hill avenue. For the occasion a large canvas pavilion has been erected on the vacant lot on Division street between Lafayette and Lanvale streets. A sign raised in the air over the Division street entrance announces to the public that the movement is to be considered, "The Lyceum Tent and Bible Chauquaint." Free lectures covering a wide range of subjects are advertised to be given by several able speakers, under the tent every night, with the exception of Saturday night, throughout the entire summer. Pastor Strachan does not wish to have his work or movement classed with the noisy sensational revivals of the day. He informs us that the speakers at his tent make no appeals to the emotions of the hearers. In an interview with a representative of the Afro-American, the pastor said: "I want it distinctly understood that my camp is in no sense of the word a shout; on the contrary it is a veritable school where a bid is made for the thinking man or woman to come and study and learn." Tusser Strachan is a recent addition to Baltimore's ministerial family. He came directly to our city five months ago from Augusta, Ga. Supported by eighteen years of experience on the lecture platforma the leader of this movement comes to us after having successfully toured the states of Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia. Tusser Strachan was educated in the public schools of the District of Columbia and completed his college course at Battle Creek, Mich. When he graduated he was the only colored student in g class of twenty-four, the others were whites. He founded two mission schools now in successful operation at Jackson. Miss. and Nashville, Tenn., and was the first colored man to hold a general office in his denomination. Believing that the Bible is the foundation of all genuine and lasting reform, that Book will be the basis of all the arguments presented at the tent. The first and opening lecture is slated for Thursday night, July 4th. It will be a patriotic address entitled: "The Basic Principals of Democracy." Other subjects listed for the next few days are as follows: "Globe Encycling War." "Bible Armageddon." "Universal Heartfailure." "Social and Industrial Unrest." "Trend of Religion." The tent has a seating capacity of over 500. The interior decorations, electric lights, folding chairs and saw dust floor make the place very attractive. A choir and orchestra will assist in the music; but to encourage congregational singing the ushers will present you with a song book. Song service begins at eight fifteen o'clock, and the lecture promptly at nine. Take the Pennsylvania or Drud Hill avenue cars and get off at Lanvale street or Lafayette avenue and walk one block South to the tent. RECEPTION TO DR. AND MRS. BROOKS Nearly a thousand people assembled at Bethel A. M. E. Church on Monday evening at a testimonial reception in honor of the pastor of the church, Dr. W. Simpson Brooks, and his wife. The audience was a cosmopolitan one, representing every shade of religious belief and the affair was a most enjoyable one. Addresses commending the work of the pastor during his pastorate here were delivered by Bishop John Hurst, Rev. W. M. Alexander, Rev. A. L. Gaines, Rev. C. G. Garnings, Rev. A. J. Mitchell, Secretary S. S. Booker and others. Musical numbers were rendered by the Cosmopolitan Choral Society. Following the speeches a purse containing the presentation addressed by Pastor Brooks, the presentation addressed by Mrs. Frances Butler a member of Enon Baptist Church. Mrs. Butler said that Dr. Brooks was the people's pastor regardless of denominational lines and that he was held in the highest regard and affection by all. Dr. Brooks, in his usual happy manner, made the response, saying that he had tried to merit the confidence of the people. He paid a glowing tribute to the members and friends of the church, who had made possible the raising of twelve thousand dollars at the recent rally and predicted that next year, with the help of God and the members and friends he intended to walk down the aisles of Bethel Church with the $33,000 mortgage in his hands. This statement was heartily applauded. Refreshments were served in the Sunday School rooms. ALLEN A. M. E. CHURCH This church is in the most prosperous condition, we are alive with every interest. Our pastor, Dr. C. Harold Stephanet, is serving his second year, and up to this time has so endured himself in the hearts of his people, and inspired them with confidence in his ability to "do things that are worthwhile," that we are going to undertake undearest and to wipe out the indebted indebtedness of about $900,000. The membership of this church has a mind to work, and the Sunday School is in fine shape. The League is to remain open all summer, and the mobile will be given the richest and best of entertainments during the season. OUR MEN'S DAY Last Sunday was Men's Day at our church. It was a "red letter day" the men did themselves honor, and felt proud that they came so near the mark made by the women on their day. Our receipts were $324.71. In the greatest ever raise men's Day the women were lead to victory under the leadership of Mr. Arthur Stansbury, who was Governor of the day. OUR FALL RALLY The church was called in conference by the pastor on Tuesday night and all of his plans for the fall activities of the church were unanimously adopted. It was the most pleasant and satisfactory church conference I ever attended. Everyone was made feel that we had the right man in the right place, to lead us to future victory. Watch us grow.

Speaking of an international means of expression the moving picture is the real thing. Colored American Y. M. C.

Maryland has just sent 2500 men to Camp Meade. 40,000 draftees, mostly from Southern states were sent to camps last week. Counting the 4,000 men sent to various colleges and technical schools for special training in radio and general engineering, electricity, and mechanics, blacksmithing and operation of motor vehicles and the 400 medical officers in the Medical and Dental Reserve Corps, there are in round numbers 202,000 Negroes in the National Army. There is no more noteworthy and valuable part of America's forces. In the Navy—well Daniels is still secretary of War. Nothing doing for colored men. "Cooks wanted only." Colonel Young, Spingarn medallist, and former leader of the 10th Cavalry, was in Washington last week. He is reported to have ridden all the way East from Ohio on horseback to show the Secretary of War that he is in fit physical condition for active service. Colonel Young dropped in to see Asst. to Secretary of War Scott and other officials of War Department in the effort to get out of inactive service. Since the administration has handled the case of General Leonard Wood in such an unusual manner, supporters of Colonel Young have felt discouraged that his case will ever be reconsidered.

FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1918. SEGREGATION FEVER AGAIN IN THE AIR When, a few months ago, the Supreme Court of the United States declared invalid any attempt to segregate a class of people because of color, it was generally conceded by most bright minds that the matter of segregation was a closed book and that the greatest tribunal in the country had set at rest the minds of colored people as to their right to live where they desired. That all, however, were not of this opinion, is evidenced by reports in the local daily papers quoting Mayor Preston as being desirous of having City Solicitor Field draw up another segregation ordinance. This time it is "to prevent the spread of tuberculosis among the white people" that has prompted the chief executive of the "birthplace of segregation" to make another attempt to limit the rights of colored persons to buy and occupy property in districts outside of the limits to be set in the proposed measure. The proposed measure, if it becomes a law, will meet the same fate that all unrighteous measures. ultimately meet. In the face of the decision by the Supreme Court no lower jurist will hardly have the temerity to pass favorably upon an ordinance the intent of which is to abridge the rights of a class of people even though that intent is hidden behind the subtle pretense of protecting the health of another class of citizens. LYNCHING "Lynching is recognized by an increasing number of people as a danger to National Safety and to success in the war. At first it does not seem that there can be very close connection between an act of lawlessness in a remote American rural community and a victory on the battlefields of France. Nothing, however, is more certain than that a very connection between the two is within the range of possibility. Among the troops that are going to the other side are Americans of Negro blood. That American Negroes make fine soldiers no one can doubt who has read the testimony of such an officer, for example, as General Bell, quoted in Lieutenant McKaine's article on "The Buffaloers." The Outlook for May 22. The patriotism of these Negroes has been cultured and the country has been praised, reasoned to the country to do anything which will take the 'heart out' of these men and make them feel that they have no country. Is there anything that would be more likely to do that than to allow Negroes at home to be murdered by mobs? The assertion that colored people are more susceptible to tuberculosis than whites has been made so frequently by our eminent white friends that they almost believe it—almost but not quite. They know it is only a half truth. Of course more people die from tuberculosis in a six-foot alley than on Eutaw Place or University Parkway. It is to be expected. It isn't the color that kills them, but the condition. The Mayor does not take into consideration that there are many institutions in the State to care for white tubercular patients while colored people who are infected have no place to go but Bayview—or the graveyard. Neither does he consider conditions in the many miserable alleys where large numbers of the race are forced to live. If he did he would see that the city administration is in a large measure responsible for the physical condition of numbers of the race and not the incident of color. "Southern people who know the Negro perhaps better than the people of any part of the country, because they have seen more of them, are the most vigorous in the expression of this need for the suppression of the evil of lynching. One of the most recent instances of Southern remonstrance against this evil, which is not confined to any one section, is the passage on May 14 of the following resolution by the Tennessee Conference of Charities and Correction, which met in Memphis: If the Mayor is sincere in his proposed efforts to better the health conditions of the people, let him propose a measure that will better living conditions among the poor; let him use his influence in securing adequate treatment for colored tuberculars; let him give his cooperation to educational movements tending toward the enlightenment of colored people along health lines; let him use as much energy in making habitable, beautiful and healthful sections in which poor colored and white people are compelled to live as he does in the neighborhoods occupied by the rich; let him lose sight of caste and autocracy for a while and get into his system a mite of the kindof democracy we are trying to beat into the Huns; let him realize that the prevention of tuberculosis among the black people of the city is as much HIS problem as mayor of this city, as is the problem of preventing its spread among the whites. "Whereas, the excitement connected with this stupendous war appears to have undermined the self-control of some of the American people to such an extent that lynchings seem to be occurring with increasing frequency; and "Whereas, such occurrences are incompatible with the principles of justice and democracy, for which we are fighting; and Any measure drafted along lines as suggested by the Mayor this week will not only be unconstitutional, but selfish, unfair, unpatriotic and un-American. "Whereas, the lynching of men of one blood or race by those of another is not at this time an ordinary act of lawlessness which may be left to the local authorities, but strikes at the very root of our National solidarity and efficiency by raising issues of race and of blood among our own people, and will inevitably increase the cost of the war," cost in dead and injured we will have to pay for victory, and thus give aid and comfort to the enemy; and The Salvation Army believes in adapting itself to surrounding conditions. J. Rosamond Johnson, formerly of the wonderful musical team of Cole and Johnson and author of a hundred different popular songs that have set America by the ears including "Under the Bamboo Tree," and "In my Castle on the River Nile" bears witness to this adaptability. "Whores, we do not believe those guilty of this lawlessness realize the treasonable effect of their acts; "One day, some years ago," said Mr. Johnson, "I was walking along 14th street near Union Square (N. Y.) Park. I saw and heard a Salvation Army group singing. The tune sounded familiar, and as I went my way, I racked and racked my brain to place it. After a time it came to me, and this is what the Salvation Army was doing." "Now, therefore, the Tennessee Conference of Charities and Correction, in Convention assembled, does hereby respectfully petition the President of the United States to issue a proclamation to the American people on the subject; and To the tune of "Under the Bamboo Tree" Mr. Johnson sang: "If you like-a Jesus, and Jesus like-a you." Characteristically enough Salvation Army groups are not finding much time for speaking and singing in France. It takes all of their time caring for the actual human needs of the French refugees and serving hot cocoa and sandwiches to weary soldiers. Like the K. of C., the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. the Salvation Army is doing its bit in a genuinely practical way. "Wheres, such acts d oin fact amount to crimes against the Nation, we do further petition Congress to pass an Act so declaring and giving Federal Grand Juries and Courts the right to indict and try these charged therewith. "Another instance accrued in the preceding month was sent by Bolton Smith, Secretary of the Tennessee Law and Order League, and addressed to the Governor of Tennessee, the Hon. T. C. Rye: Reminiscent of the war the government waged against the Seminole Indians and half breed Negroes and Indians in the Old Hickory Stamping Ground not far from Henryetta, Oklahoma; for a time it has been feared that these freedom-loving half-wild fellows would offer serious armed resistance to the draft, but perhaps they may be persuaded to lay down their arms and submit peaceably. "The lynching of Berry Noyle Lexington, Tennessee, yesterday can but sow disunion among our people, undermine the morale of our Negro troops and lessen the effectiveness of 'our propaganda' among the colored 'people' for food production and conservation. It will therefore tend to prolong the suffering of the dead and wounded we will have to pay for victory.

It is strange our own people will not help them by exercising the self-control necessary to give the Negro charged with crime such a trial as our own laws provide. The GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS CONTROLLED BY SOUTHERN MEN. It has called the Negro to the defense of the colors, and the American people will demand that the race thus nomored shall be granted the justice of a fair trial when accused of crime. We all know that when guilty there is no doubt of full punishment. The Lexington lynching group cannot have realized the extent to which their act furnishes aid and comfort to the enemy. As Secretary of the Press Law and Laws, Lecq organized to help lynching. I urge you to issue a reclamation to our people pointing out the treasonable effect of such acts, and that you call upon the President or the United States, as Commander of the Nation, to reinforce your words, for it is plain we are threatened with a Nation-wide increase of this crime. "The suggestion in this telegram that the President issue a proclamation is one which we trust the President has not only taken under admittance but has received with approval. We hope he will act upon it. With the Southern Democratic group in power in Congress, with a President in the White House who is a native of the South, and with this urgent suggestion coming from the South, it is clear that any such proclamation would be in no sense a reflection upon that section of the country." THE FORUM I. the Rev. D. N. Tute, do deem it absolutely proper to inform the public the ground upon which my name was dropped from the Baptist Ministers' Conference afore 3rd. I said the ruling of Rev. P. C. Neal was of a "petticoat" manner—"petticoat in the sense of either ignorance or negligence as to parliamentary usage. Proof of this I spoke of members who were time and again allowed to have the floor at the same time, and moreover engage in an argument between themselves. Again members would speak seven to nine minutes when the rule of the House is but five minutes to a brother following the order of the day. This and other violations of parliamentary usage justified the phrase "petticoat" ruling. Now the term "petticoat" simply implies a dress or an underskirt worn by woman, also by boys and men on certain occasions. During the time of Charles II loose breeches which kings were called "petticoats." It is simply a humorous term as one can say a "petticoat" trade. NEW PRESIDENT HEADS CHURCH Extra Session of C. M.

Pa. to hold his Philadelphia and Dearborn meetings on day 10 A. M. July 3rd and closes Sunday night, July 7th. WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS EDITORS DISCUSS WAR PROBLEMS WITH SCOTT REV. WILLIAM H. WEAVER, D. D., Contributing Editor THE VALUE OF NEGRO PROPERTY IN THE CITY It comes from the Appeal Tax Court that the greatest advance in property values in this city are in neighborhoods occupied by our people. The decline of property values in one of the most fashionable streets is not altogether due to the infur of foreign or colored population, but to the exodus of the former residents for reasons too numerous to mention. Men usually live where they want to and are able to meet the expense. There should be no quarrel with the who chooses to live where he pleases as he decent and demeaned himself as he should, and he should have none with the neighbor who prefers to leave the neighborhood and live elsewhere. We are sure that the self respecting colored people our seeking homes in white neighborhood because they are white as such, but they are seeking the best homes they can get with the best environment for their money. MAYOR PRESTON WITH A NEW SUGGREGATION PLAN Our Honorable Mayon is most assuredly obsessed with Segregation Mania. When every one else in the city and in fact so far as we know in the country was of the opinion that the United States Supreme Court by its decision in the Louisville case—had settled the question of the segregation the faces in this country, the bobs up in a new plan which he suspects may be encouraged in an ordinance that will stand the tests of the Courts. It would not be difficult for many of us keymen to point out the evident weakness of the Mayor's proposed ordinance on the grounds which he would base it upon, but the plan is not worthy of serious and dignified comment. The Mayor is a joke. He takes the cake on segregation plans. Segregation he wants and Segregation he would like to have by whatever means, and on any grounds. After the Supreme Court's decision he would get by a plan of a gentleman's agreement between representative committees of white and colored people—appointed by the Mayor—now he would get it by setting aside sections and compelling colored people to live within them. matter what their condition or circumstance. The whole thing is languish—evidently the creation of the Mayor's segregation nightmare. ACTION OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF COLORADO HIGH SCHOOL A news item in last week's issue of this paper stated that "the Alumni Association of the Colored High School, at its annual meeting 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 Institute. If so, did not know of the Afro-American's great pains taking care to verify of news coming to it before publishing it, we would not hesitate to question the truthfulness of the above statement. Such action as is stated was taken by the Alumni Association was to say the least unwise and will not help in speedily and properly housing the Colored High School. The Zeal and enthusiasm, growing needs and adequate in appointments for doing most effectively the work for which the school is designed, evidently shut out all other thought and consideration from the minds of those who so acted, and stamps the action as the offspring of immature, or lack of judgment. Whatever may be the needs of the Colored High School—and how great the shifting of the population of the city—we are of the opinion that the method proposed by the Colored High School Alumni Association is not the wisest one to be pursued just now. KEEPING ONE'S WORD That was wholesome as well as timely advice given ni the editorial bearing this caption in last week's issue. It is most important that promises made be kept, that appointments fixed be promptly filled and all engagements and obligations faithfully met. Nothing fixes more definitely and permanently the estimate which people put upon us that the doing or the not doing of these things, which in the eyes of some who make them or put themselves under them seem so small. The person who keeps promises, fills punctually appointments and meets promptly engagements and discharges obligations may safely be depended upon and trusted, while the one who falls in such hitions is generally unreliable and not trustworthy. No one should give his word for anything with out due consideration as to the probability and possibility of keeping the same, as well as having behind it the intention of doing what is promised or agreed upon. Of course these are may make the keeping of ones word自动地 be kept, and the person making the promise or giving the word that carries with it on obligation. We do not insist that all promises should be kept even when it is possible to do so—for we think that a bad promise is best kept when soonest broken, and some pointments may be made that on reflection and the additional information it may be the wisest course not to keep such. But in all such cases it is incumbent on the one who makes the promises or gives the work to inform the one to whom it was given or made the intention and reason for not keeping the same. Certainly all of us should seek in every way to establish for ourselves, personally, a reputation for keeping our word. It has been charged against us as a people we are only fifty per cent dependable. We are not sufficiently acquainted with the practice of our people generally to state whether this charge is absolutely true or not, but we do know that there is not, in our judgment, the proper regard and value of keeping one's word by too many of them, and by many of whom better doings are expected. BUSINESS LEAGUE TO MEET IN ATLANTIC CITY The Nineteenth Annual Session of the National Negro Business League will be held at Atlantic City, New Jersey, August 21, 22, 23, 1918, and the program for this year's session will include addresses by a number of the foremost leaders of both races, who will discuss many of the vital and absorbing topics which now confront the race and the nation. The affiliated organizations of the League which includes the National Negro Press Association, the National Negro Funeral Directors Association, the National Negro Insurance Association, the National Negro Retail Merchants Association, the National Negro Farmers' Association, and the National Negro Bar Association, will hold annual sessions at the same time as in former years, and every indication that the attendance this year will far surpass that of any previous year in the history of the League. Although all of the details have not been completed, the plan of the committee is to have the Business Sessions at Fitzgerald's Auditorium. Also delegates will be invited to take a ten-mile trip on the ocean on Thursday afternoon, August 22nd. On the evening of August 22nd, the famous Clef Club of New York is planning to give an entertainment on Young's Million-Dollar Pier, and the delegates will have an opportunity to visit the Pier on that night. The three silver cups offered by Mr. Allen W. Clark, Chairman of the National "Clean Up and Paint Up" Bureau, St. Louis, Missouri, for the most effective work accomplished during the observance of the National Negro Health Week, will be awarded to the committees of the three cities, whose reports to the Chairman of the Committee of Awards, show the best results. President J. C. Napier will deliver his annual message to the delegates and Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, chairman of the Executive Committee, will also be one of the principal speakers. In view of the war conditions and the threat of a war transpired in the operation of the war bonds, it will not be possible to secure special places this year, but it may be possible to secure tourist tickets and these tickets will, of course, afford the visitors and delegates an opportunity to visit a number of other eastern points while they are away from home. Miss Margaret Fauntleroy, of 2116 W. Biddle street, was quietly married on the 19th of June to Mr. A. R. Robbins, of the ceremony was conducted by Rev. R. R. Curtis. Both are of Baltimore.

NOTICE TO BARBERS A Word to my Tonsorial Brothers of Baltimore City. Having read the Barbers' Journal for the past five years I find it very helpful in giving much tonsorial information from all over the country. I learned that they would really know what is going on to their interest. There are two popular shaving emporiums closing evenings at 8 o'clock, and both are doing justice to themselves but to their able assistants in giving them more daylight time—just what the government has asked all to do in these war times, thereby demonstrating our justice and preparing yourselves economically. By closing one hour earlier you save a great deal in fuel and light annually. White barbers close at 7—why not the collar? Our job is to help your business improve wonderfully. Everyone has shorter hours more and are earning more money. Why not the barbers? Our profession is just as important as the public, and this no onecademy. A hint to the wise is sufficient. C. & P.

For others who do not know the truth and are surnering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of flesh. Our own physician Dr. Mace attained a cure of tuberculosis. I was sent to the John Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Bayley, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as I worked. I helped only 96 lbs. Someone told me to try Dr. Campbell, the Lung Specialist, 1669 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md., as he was the best out on lungs. I went to him in company and any sick I had only 96 lbs. He examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Base Treatment, and I started to change for the better immediately. Thank God am living, and on November 17, 1917, I went to the hospital. No one will believe now that I ever was sick in my life. I know several others Dr. Campbell cured of the same trouble, and those who are suffering with the same trouble should know that I will be helped. Mrs. Bertha I.

Wright and six helpers—at Sparrows Point drove 4,875 rivets in nine hours, or nine rivets for every minute of the working day—the American record.) As much as those who charge and serve the guns Are those who speed our ships, whose growing tons Support our battle-line and save our sons. In this war-tournament, who serves to win We judge him by his service, not his skin. And in war's brotherhood we hold him kin. Black knights of hardy service to the farm. Around the smoky world there runs aplause And white hands reach to grasp your potent paws. —EDMUND VANCE COOKE (Copyright, 1918, N. E. A.) OUR PART IN THE WAR The high devotion, courage and service willingly rendered by our people is unquestioned. The life of the Negro has been so varied that he is naturally, courageous and able to adapt himself to circumstances. Our part in this great war amounts to more than appears on the surface. How do we measure up compared to the women of other races. We are fighting for democracy in every sense of the word, and when the accounting comes, we certainly will not be found among the missing. They tell us that forty per cent of our young men were rejected for military service because of physical disability. If the draft would have been of young men, we would have been pronounced unfit. It is not only necessary that the women be physically fit at this time, that are doing government work, but we should all feel it our patriotic duty to be in such a condition as will enable us to do and give the best that is in us. Our women should not be hacking in this respect. We have had many burdens to bear and now comes the supreme test to show what we can do. Our men are in the fight to stay until the finish. Our men have to be physically fit to fight, and we must be physically fit to help them with this war, and we should do our very best to keep in good health. We must not only take care of our own health, we should take care of our children's health and look especially after our babies. Government is willing to help them to be well, all he asks is our co-operation. The woman who does not care for her health and help to save the children is a shacker, and we want no shacking it this time. We of all women can not afford to be shackers, we have we too must at stake. Our men who are not fighting in the trenches or preparing to fight in the trenches are fighting here at home. We are developing champions in all lines of industry. Charles Knight is the world's champion River- Turbans are made of ravelled ribbon. Yokes on capes are very deep and wide. French blue is in demand for blouses. Heavy twill cottons are in great demand for skirts and sport suits. Net embroidered in high relief is a favorite on French lingerie. Collar and cuff sets for very young girls resemble those for women. Steelvelts jackets have full gathered capes and are often made of shamung. Voile and gingham frocks have wide sashes of self material lined with organdie. Simple frocks of silk or chiffon have a most important place in the summer outfit. Even if the fashionable skirt is straight and marrow it allows freedom of movement. Colored linens are much used as rocks for big girls. They have white pique collars and cuffs. There are as many opuses with their tails worn inside of the skirts as here are worn outside. The almost forgotten calico dress isack in remarkable favor for house and porch dresses. Its new printings are too lovely for any woman to resist. HOUSEHOLD NOTES Bread should not begin to brown until it has been in the oven for at least fifteen minutes. Scraps of bread should not be allowed to accumulate in the bread box. They should be browned in the oven for bread crumbs. A piece of white blotter placed under the table-cloth where the flower stands in the centre of the table will prevent any possible moisture from spoiling the table. Received this morning a copy of the Argonaut for June the last issue or this year. I've read every page and found it very interesting and instructive. Am more than sorry that was so late becoming acquainted with the publication. The students of a Colored Training School are to be graduated. They have set the be for next year's students to to-l- I wish them success, and a pervious year.-Margaret Black. er and Edward Burrell and this crew have set the pace for pile driving. We have our heroes among the fighting force in France of which Henry Johnson and his companion stand among those at the top. So it is up to us to talk together, sing together, get together, don't get weary of Thrift, Buy Liberty Bonds, War Saving Stamps, Thrift Stamps, and do not fail this year in canning, storing in canning, and drying lost loss in spoilage than some experienced house wives, because they paid attention to details. Do not use poor rubbers and defective cans, and expect good results, because you'll not get it. Our women, the majority of them are adepts at canning, drying and preserving fruits and vegetables. It is a heritage that has been handed down from our great grand-mothers. In the saving of wheat, our people are champions. They have known the use of barley, rye, and corn for ages. It takes our women to show the white race how to conserve food. The success of our young people today is owing to their mothers and grandmothers knowing how to conserve food, and how to make one dollar the duty of two. In the uses of corn meal our women have no equals. What they can not do with that one article is not worth mentioning. In the July issue of Modern Priscilla, Porta Smiley, of Boston, gives 11 recipes for the use of corn meal, and the promise of others are to follow. Her Last Forever Ginger-bread and Batter Bread the only two I have tried so far are delicacies. If food is to win this war, we know how to do our part, cheerfully or otherwise. It matters not, we must buy the food substitutes and we must use them. If you do not know how attend your nearest cooking center. Don't cook them one way until your family would rather do without, than come home to a meal. There are many ways of cooking all substitutes and if you can not find any other way, then write the U. Department Agriculture at Washington, for Farmers' Union for canning, preserving and salting. Farmer's Bulletin 563. Corn meal and ways of using it Bulletin 565. There is no excuse for not knowing how these days. So do not be a snacker, but study your part in this war and do it willingly and cheerfully and help your boy or husband to fight for democracy. One more thing in helping to win this fight, don't forget about the directions on the letter you are sending to your soldier. Remember that there are over three million pieces of mail each month for soldier boys in France, and that it takes 30 days—sometimes less—to receive your mail. There are sounds of John Henry Smiths, George W. Thompson and Charles Edward Williams in the army, so do not direct your letter to C. E. Williams, but give his full name company—infantry or whatever company and service we in is also put in the left hand corner of your envelope your name and address in full, and many distressing delays will be avoided.

LET US PRAY FOR VICTORY The custom, of burning incense is ancient and widely spread. The offering of incense has formed a part of religious ceremonies of ancient nations. See Cor. Ex., St. Luke, Rev. Par. Lev., Cant., etc. When the nation was troubled God told aloes burn incense. Many of good Americans burn their incense in their prayers and worshippers for their own benefits and also for our country's victory. There is a good reason for using Psychological Temple Incense in our prayers. In old times the use of incense was considered essential 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 voice of God has spoken to me and I feel it my duty to inform you that God provides you to lift your mind, and soul to victory history at least twice and use our blessed Temple uncease 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 willing to help us carry the burden, be the MILITARY soldier, be a soldier of the LORD, be a soldier in prayer, be a soldier in doing your duty to God and to our dear Country for Democracy, Justice and Liberty's sake.

Diddle St. 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. Sooby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of a restorative 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 lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting; Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstreet or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentoring the name of this paper. -Advt Mme. M. A.
