General Crowder's "Work or Fight Order Also Makes Openings for Women. PLENTY OPPORTUNITIES Hotel Waiters Are All Under 21 or Over 31---Boys to the Rescue. With large numbers of men already called to the colors from Baltimore and others to go in a few days, business institutions have been having a hard time at it trying to find suitable labor to take the places of those drafted, and in a number of instances are employing women. Never before in the history of Baltimore have so many women been employed and there are still openings for a number of others. Everywhere one goes one is confronted with the faces of smiling husks where before men were the mainstay. There are farmeretes, elevatores, portorites, bootblackettes, waitresses, switch-board operators and heaven knows what else. At most of the downtown department stores, colored girls are holding forth at the elevators. Bragers, Bernheimer, Leader and Hamburgers have colored girls at the elevator wheel as well as a number of others. Perhaps Miss Belle Cooper deserves the honor of being the first female operator in the city. She has been employed at Bachrach's studio in this capacity for some months. Miss Lavinia Johnson is also employed there. In most of the large office buildings white women are employed, having replaced the white men formerly employed. In the department stores, however, colored men were formerly employed. Another innovation is the employment of colored wrapper girls in several of the department stores and at Bernheimer's colored women can be seen sweeping the floors and picking up scraps of paper—portering—a job hitherto being classed as the personal property of some great big strong man. Switch-board telephone operator is another job into which colored girls are entering—and making good. At the Union Protestant Infirmary Miss Ruth Diggs is holding down the job at the switch-board, formerly held by a man. And at the Baltimore Club, Miss Elise Turner and are performing that duty, while waitresses are performing the duties formerly performed by the men. The decision of such places as the Baltimore Club to employ girls is generally regarded as dire necessity and man shortage for, catering to men only, the presence of a "skirt" in the sacred precints of the club house was as rare as a four-leaf clover in Klondike. The men just "can't be got" and it is women or nothing. In places where women have not yet appeared the problem of keeping efficient help is making men bald-headed before their time. Down at the Emerson Hotel, where the best waiters in the country had been gathered under the efficient leadership of Mr. William White, few men are now employed between the ages of 21 and 81. Mr. White employs about seventy-five men and he declares they are all over 32 years old. The articles in the papers beginning the work or fight law" he says, "and right away they quit. They would rather enlist or secure a job of their own liking than go on the farm. Since the closing of school, I have employed a number of school boys as bus-boys and thus far, they have served acceptably. The day of the busman is a thing of the past, because they can receive more remunerative occupation elsewhere. When asked if it were likely that women would be eventually employed to act as waiters at the Emerson Mr. White said: "It is hardly possible that such a step will be taken. There are many reasons why it would not be practical. In the first place it is hardly probable that women would be successful as waiters at the Emerson Mr. White there are a number of steps to climb. The work would be too hard for them. Then the room-service would likely present moral difficulties hard to overcome. Women would hardly be able to make good at an establishment like the Emerson." WOMEN IN THE LAUNDRIES For a number of years colored women have been employed in several of the local laundries, but never before in so large numbers as at present. Both the Elite and Archer's now employ colored girls as sorters, markers, mangle workers and in other capacities. At the factories, the supply of women is much smaller than the demand. At Sonneborn's a larger number of colored girls are employed there than ever before and the most every department. The same is the case in a number of large factories working on government contracts. Women bootblacks are bobbing up in many sections of the city and they will soon out-number the men. At Shilver's show-repairing shop, a colored woman can be seen operating a machine, sewing on soles, the first to be noticed in the city. WOMAN'S HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY IN CONVENTION Richmond, Va., July 11—The 18th annual session of the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Washington Conference opened at Leigh Street Memorial M. E. Church Thursday and will continue through Sunday. The president, Mrs. M. W. Cain, of Washington, is presiding. Among those to deliver addresses was Miss Ida R. Cummings, of Baltimore, who spoke on "The Nation's War." Repeats from all activities are engaging the attention of the delegates, as well as addresses from prominent speaker. Among the prominent Baltimoreans here are Medkessia Ida Hilton, Mary J. Cumper, Martha Thompson, A. J. Mitchell, Kate Abrams, Lillie Ellis, R. W. S. Thomas, Ida Norris, A. L. Mussenden, S. B. Holmes and Lee and Misses Ida R. Cummings, Ethel Travers and Tripham Camper. S. C. M. of Odd Fellows in Session Philadelphia, July 12—The Subcommittee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is gathered here this week in one of the most important sessions held in recent years. It will transit part of its work usually done at sessions of the Biennial Movable Committee, as the meeting of the committee was called off last December on account of war conditions and for patriotic reasons. The holding of a session in New York city in September would have entailed heavy expense upon the lodges and the general order, railroad rates and other necessities having greatly increased recently. A heavy volume of business awaited the assembly of the committee, and every man has been kept busy. The hearing of complaints, the granting of charters, the looking over of reports from district grand secretaries, as well as the handling of the larger problems of the Order and those that are usually taken up at the session of the Biennial Movable Committee were on the program. Of course there will be no legislation, the Subcommittee having no authority to pass any. CLEVER CROOK PUTS ONE OVER ON PASTOR CLEVER CROOK PUTS ONE OVER ON PASTOR Tells Rev. Carpenter He Is Private Johnson Who Was Honored in France-Gets $30.00 Brooklyn, N. Y., July 10—Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, pastor of the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, is a Spanish-War veteran. He had also read with enthusiasm the great deeds of Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts, soldiers in France, who successfully engaged 24 German soldiers, though wounded. He had also read that Johnson received the Croix de Guerre for his successful stand against the two dozen Huns. While sitting in his study last Sunday, one of his members brought a man in and introduced him as "Sergent Henry Johnson." The Spanish-War veteran listened to a thrilling tale of the supposed adventures in France of the "Sergent." He told the minister that he had left his Croix de Guerre with General Pershing for safecooping. The pastor invited the "hero" to address his congregation at night. "Sergent Johnson" left saying he had to speak at the Y. M. C. A. in the afternoon. There were 1100 people in the church to hear his "thrilling" narrative. After it was all over they raised a collection of $31 for the "hero." The next day someone remarked to Rev. Mr. Carpenter "Sergent Johnson" did not look like the one he knew. Becoming suspicious, he called up the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. to ask did "Johnson" speak there Sunday afternoon. Receiving a reply in the negative, he notified Police Headquarters. Rev. Mr. Carpenter spent sixteen years as a member of the Massagerial of the uniform rank of the smaller wing of Knights of Pythias, and, therefore, interested in things military. But fake soldiers will not find the catchstring hanging out on his doorknob any more. THE WORKING STATION ELKS PREPARE FOR BIG SESSION Ten Thousand Visitors Expected When Antlered Tribe Comes to Baltimore Fully ten thousand visitors are expected to be in Baltimore next month to attend the annual session of the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World. The sessions will: begin on Monday, August 26th and will continue throughout the week. Members of the local lodges are busy preparing for the entertainment of the large number of visitors expected and something will be doing every minute of the time they are here. The social features for the week include a sight-seeing excursion and crab feast to Brown's Grove on Monday afternoon: great street parade, on Tuesday followed by band contests, competitive drill and grand reunion at Benkert's Park. On Wednesday there will be an open-air carnival and community dance in front of the Elks-home on Hoffman street, followed by a social session and vaudeville performance for the male members and their friends at St. Peter Claver Hall. While the men are enjoying this, the ladies BIG PARADE ON THURDSAY will be entertained by the local Temple at Elks' Hall. The crowning event of the week will be the annual Grand Lodge ball at the Lyric on Thursday night. The entire hall will be utilized for the affair and it is expected that it will surpass in brilliance anything ever held in this city. The closing event will be a trolley ride to Druid Hill Park and Camp Meade on Friday afternoon. The business sessions, which will begin at 10 o'clock every morning, will be held at St. Peter Claver Auditorium, Carey and Presman street; Armand W. Scott, of Washington, grand exalted ruler, will preside at the sessions, and the opinion is generable that he will be reelected to that position. While it has not been stated just what position it will be, it is regarded as almost certain, that a prominent Elk of this city will be elected to one of the grand lodge positions. It is generally the custom that the city entertaining the convention be honored by an officer in the grand cabinet and Baltimore will be no exception. The committee in charge of the arrangements for the convention is headed by William E. Lewis, who is not only well known in local Elk circles, but is one of the best known of the antlored tribe in the United States. Others on the committee are: George T. Brent, vice president; Gary T. Hensley, assistant; Lawson N. Duffin, treasurer; George W. F. McMochen, attorney; Raymond Coates, Lewis E. Williams, Dr. Edward V. Stokes, Asa Porter, Walter Wiley, Mrs. Bertha Williams, Mrs. Mary Garrett and Mrs. Hannad Dodd. Washington, D. C., July 10—The War Department and the Committee on Public Information announce through the office of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, the expansion of the list of speakers to present the report to the colored people of the United States from sixty to one hundred. Hereafter this group of speakers will be known as "The Committee of One Hundred," and will be found active in the approaching campaign of education, planned to cover every community in the country, where colored people abide in appreciable numbers. They represent every notable element of the race and will doubtless be fighting for the lightning the colored people as to their duty toward the Government and pointing out to them in a definite and practical way how they may be of the greatest service to the nation Great Excitement in Catonsville When Popular Player is Shot By Defeated Rival Great excitement prevailed among a large crowd of baseball fans at Catonsville on Thursday of last week when William H. Ross was shot and instantly killed by William Cure. Ross, who was regarded as an excellent player, was on the team that bested the Carroll Club, on which Cure played. Eyewitnesses to the shooting assert that Cure approached Ross after his game, started an argument by telling that his team may beat at baseball but would lose at fighting. To avoid a fight, Ross is said to have turned away, when Cure whipped out a revolver and began firing. The third shot hit Ross in the back, going through his heart as it passed through his body. Cure is said to have then come back to the crowd, flourishing his revolver. When some of his companions drew their revolver, Cure drew away and headed an enabond Elliott City car; William F. Smith, of Winters avenue, reached the scene after the alleged murderer had fled. He jumped into the machine of John W. Greene and pursued the car to Rognel Heights, where Cure got off. Greene stayed there to watch Cure's movements, while Smith boarded the same car, getting off at the car barn, where he telephoned the Northwestern and Southwestern Police officers. Police men were dispatched to the scene, Cure brought as he was going through Loudon Park Cemetery. Cure is now in jail at Towson. The murdered man lived on Shipley avenue, Catonsville. He was very popular and peaceable, according to his friends. He is survived by his parents, wife and two children. There were many floral tokens at his funeral. --- in the winning of the present struggle for liberty and democracy. Additions to List of Speakers Bishop Benjamin F.

DuBois, editor of The Crisis, the official organ of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has been commissioned a captain in the Intelligence Corps of the U. S. Army. He will serve with Major Joel E. Spingarm dan Lieutenant, Montgomery Gregory. That more intelligent and effective methods should be used in teaching and spiritually guiding the young were urged by speakers at the second annual session of the Washington Conference Epworth League and Sunday School Institute, held on the new site of Morgan College, Hillen Road and Arlington avenue, this week. The sessions will end Sunday night. The moving spirit in the institute is Miss M. Edythe Cooper, president of the Washington Conference Branch of the Epworth League, and an active worker among the young people. Prominent among the instructors are Rev. Dr. Dan Brummitt, the dean, who lectured on "Epworth League Methods"; Rev. D. D. Murth, of Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. Brummitt, whose theme was "Home Missions and Social Service"; Rev. R. W. S. Thomas, whose subject was "Methodist History and Policy"; Mrs. Ada Smith, "Junior League Methods", and Rev. W. A. Haggerty, who spoke on "Sunday School Methods". Revs. D. W. Hays, A. J. Mitchell, E. J. Ruddock, J. O. Spencer and J. N. Coggins, the last-named speaking on "Temperature," were among the special lecturers. The institute was also favored with addresses by Rev. Drs. John G. Foucher and D. S. Colt, Dr. Colt, speaking before a large audience Wednesday night, mentioned the recent futile efforts of the two branches of Methodism to get together on account of the Southern wing opposing the Negro, and aroused enthusiasm when he said: "If the Negro is worthy of fighting beside the white man in the trenches of France, he is worthy of marching beside him under the Cross in his own hand." He then sketched the many and varied sacrifices that the race had made in its strivings to get an education. The Cosmopolitan Choral Society, under the direction of Rev. Charles E. Stewart, caught the audience by excellently singing several selections. Bessie Maynard and Emma Bright conducted recitation work for the delegates each day. In the course of its talks on the Sunday School, Rev. Mr. Hinggerty made a plan for that education that would show the child the right way. He pointed out that weeds would grow in an uncultivated field, but that the field must be looked after to produce good crops. The child likewise, he asserted, must be carefully looked after. The graded Sunday School, he went on to say, is a necessity, as the ages of the pupils differ, as well as their impressions and aptitudes. The Council of Defense, headed by Dr. Ernest Lyon, had charge of the program, Friday night. There will be a camp this Saturday Rev. J. B. Sprague, Jr. and Rev. J. Ruddock, preach this Sunday morning. A platform-meeting will be held in the afternoon, a feature being a chorus of 100 voices under the direction of Mrs. Helen Cooper Dean and A. A. Spriges, Jr. Rev. E. J. Ruddock, Lynchburg, Va., will preach the closing sermon at night. Among the many visitors were: Drs. I. Garland Penn, or Cincinnati; E. M. Mitchell, of Staunton, Va., and D. H. Hargis, of Bridgeville, Del. CREAT TIME AT MEADE ON FOURTH Baltimore Boys Put in Strenuous Day--Patriotic Address By Dr. Emory Smith. Many Visitors The recently inducted registrants from Baltimore and Maryland were given a great treat at Camp Meade on Thursday at the July 4th celebration in and around the former, 368th Band-sand. The day was begun, with athletic games. Over six hundred soldiers were engaged in dashes, broad jumps, tugs of war, base-ball grenade throwing, volley ball, boxing exhibitions, etc., while sixteen hundred soldiers and their visiting friends were lookers on. This was one of the largest days in athletics for the D but. In the afternoon the patriotic address was delivered by Rev. Emory B. Smith, pastor of Lincoln Temple, Washington. Some of the boys had just come in from a hike. Whereby military order were forced to attend other celebrations earlier and given and gifted themselves with the athletic games of the morning. But when the music began when the opening notes of America were sounded by the virile, male voices present, in large numbers they drew near; and the real business for which the day was set aside was begun, and the hearts of soldiers, and friends were turned to the memories of the day—the birth of the nation. Rev Smith's opening words showed the seriousness of his purpose, the significance of the day and the meaning of his presence. "Ladies and gentlemen, soldiers and men, but first of all, men, lend me your ears and your attention for only a few moments on this anniversary of the birth of the nation." After noting briefly the 110 and development of the nation and its struggles in past wars, the speaker then told "the ladies and gentlemen and laborers now not for its but for the world. We cannot realize our highest possibilities until we can labor for the welfare of other. The theme of the address was that all men were contributing to the of the nation." Turning from the line of thought to the fact that he was addressing colored Americans, the speaker said, "Negroes—would to God, that I could address you, not as Negroes, but as men, as American citizens. But circumstances make it necessary to use this word. Would that I could address you as Americans, just as we say one God, one Country, one Flag, Hearty applause followed this utterance. The industry, the bravery, the love of country which the Negro has contributed to American history, given promphence. "Thousands of Negro soldiers are fighting in France. They are carrying the larger freedom into Germany and thereby they are bringing that freedom home.—Go therefore, not as dumb beasts, but men who know why they fight as American citizens without hyphen—go fight for the liberty not of self alone but for the liberty of all men." As the audience joined in singing The Battle Hymn of the Republic, hundreds of soldiers drew near the stand with eager expectant faces, but the "Y" men felt that a great day had come to its close. On all sides Dr. Smith was congratulated for his reequent and thoughtful address. The coming of men with real messages to our boys in camp is one of the greatest inspirations which the "Y" affords and particularly on the national days when the hearts and minds of soldiers and friends are turned to the great post of a nation with a greater future. Camp Meade, Ma., July 10. Walter and Frank Carter narrowly escaped death when the auto truck they were driving was struck by a car of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway at the station right in the heart of the camp. The machine was hurled 40 feet and the gasoline tank exploded just as the men were pinned under the car. The machine caught fire, and the men were badly burned before they, with the assistance of others, extircated themselves. Both are now in a critical condition at the base hospital. The men are brothers and their home is in Gullford, Howard county. DUNBAR PRESENTS A MASTER PIECE IN PHOTO DRAMA On Saturday, July 20th the Dunbair Theater will present the new and marvelous six-reel photoplay, "It May Be Your Daughter."

C. Johnson Unveiled A handsome portrait of Julius C. Johnson, late national deputy grand master of the Odd Fellows was united at Sharp Street M. E. Church at Sunday afternoon.

Following the unveiling the out-of-own visitors were entertained by theolly Odd Fellows. Work or Fight Elict Plays Havoc With Sporting Life Stranger things have never happened before. Sports, hangers-on and sat plain loaders are now sitting up and taking notice: General Debility and General Laziness have been on the job for a long time, but General Crowder has now come upon the scene. He has said "work or light or to jail" and he has said "we were wrong" and has been to telegraph. A talk around the district frequented by the boys with nothing to do will reveal a great shortage among the large numbers whose main support was a top post, telegraph pole or the brass. Most of them are no more. They are at Sparrows Point or some seaport, working ten good hours and cussing General Crowder minute of the time. Pool rooms nothing to do in the day time is for the saloons, if a charitable came along and said "have a he would have to wait until to get company. There are a however, whose means of existence has been a mystery for years, have and are cering general love, do not do anything along the "elite" of the unemployed old might pass anywhere for bank parks or bank presidents. But "they work not, neither do they spin." If they are rounded up and put to work resident Wilson will be asked to set aside a holiday to celebrate the event. Prof. and Mrs. B. K.

It is said that almost every regiment in the army has an officer from those men.

LXCEUM LECTURE COURSE Directed by The interest continues to grow every night at the Lyceum Tent on Division street near Lauvale. During the week just closed, Pastor Strachun studied with his heirs the current issues of the day. His talks were received with satisfaction and applause. But that people attend regularly and most of them have not missed a single night since the opening. Faster Strachain in his simple unassuming but pleasing way feeds the people every night with helpful truth. He makes no attempt at prowess but makes no attempt at wisdom. One would consider his discourses works of art to be admired, but they are primarily and essentially morsels of food. Faster Strachain will choose for the course week a list of topics bearing on applied Christianity and personal religion. Monday night in each week is set apart for the study of health and temperance matters. The inquiry service will receive its first call on Monday night, and continue every night thereafter throughout the entire season. Fifteen minutes before each lecture Faster Strachain will answer written questions handed into the desk thrush the ushers. He is not to be as service where the pastor is to pose as a living encyclopedia; but it is a feature designed alone for the purpose of encouraging a study and investigation that will be beneficial to all. Foolish and unlearned are not to be signed off the inquirer uncompanion the written question as a testimony of good will and sincerity. Everything in connection with these meetings appeals to the intellectual and refined sensibilities of the audience; hence, none can well afford to miss the opportunity to engage, begin promptly at eight fifteen o'clock, and lecture at nine. Take the Pennsylvania or Drudg Hill avenue cars and get off at Lavale street or Laveryette avenue and walk one block south to the tent. Eastern Iron and Metal Co. 610-616 N. MADERIA STREET.

UNFIT Two hundred and seven men were sent away from Camp Jackson, S. C., three weeks ago and for various physical defects, which camp life could not remedy and which made them unfit for active service, discharged from the Army. It is an everyday occurrence—this weeding out process, whereby only the strong and capable are retained in the service for duty overseas. However there is this that is unusual about this special list of unfit men:— special list of units 34 were discharged for foot troubles. 27 discharged for mental defects. 24 discharged for bad teeth. 24 for noor eyesight. 20 for poor eyesight. In terms of percentage this table means that 16 per cent of the 207 men discharged suffered from flat-foot, loss of toes, varicose veins or some other foot ailment which would prevent them from marching and bearing weights; 13 per cent were mentally deficient; 12 per cent without the three opposing molar teeth that army regulations require, and 9 per cent with such poor eyesight that it could not be corrected with glasses. In terms of percentage this table means that the 207 men discharged suffered from flat-faced, loose veins or some other foot ailment when they from marching and bearing weight were mentally deficient; 12 per cent without a tonomic teeth that army regulations require, in such poor eyesight that it could not be assessed. It goes without saying that generalizing on male observation is poor business. The purpose for the 207 men above referred to might be different figures for other sets of men discharged previously. Because it is true that the number of mentally unfit does not present a worse or better than other camps, or worse than the North, although we believe theoses show is that were it not for military there have been known what was the trouble. They got past the draft boards and theon, and went into camp for several weeks covered that they had the brain and under, eight and in several cases a seven year these men would not make good soldiers and say they will never make good, easily go astray to make up what is known ment. The discovery of these mentally unfits are not and special training in special institution America to get further along towards a safer utilization. glasses. It goes without saying that generalizing on the basis of a single observation is poor business. The percentages that held for the 207 men above referred to might show entirely different figures for other sets of men discharged from Camp Jackson previously. Because it is true that this list shows a large number of mentally unfit does not prove that Camp Jackson is worse or better than other camps, or that the South is worse than the North, although we believe that it is. What it does show is that were it not for military training it might never have been known what was the trouble with these 207 men. They got past the draft boards and the physical examination, and went into camp for several weeks before it was discovered that they had the brain and understanding of a nine, eight and in several cases a seven year old child. Of course these men would not make good soldiers. We may go further and say they will never make good citizens. They too easily go astray to make up what is known as the criminal element. The discovery of these mentally unfits and their confinement and special training in special institutions ought to help America to get further along towards a safer democracy and civilization. COLORED CONGRESSMEN The only way for colored people to get the United States Congress is for them to states and have more common sense than to a long time Chicago colored folk have haunt of common sense and if Lawyer Jam The only way for colored people to get a representative in the United States Congress is for them to outnumber the whites and have more common sense than the whites have. For a long time Chicago colored folk have had an uncommon amount of common sense and if Lawyer James A. Scott is to believed the district that has sent Representative Madden to Congress for the past fourteen years now has more colored residents than white. Industrial conditions have caused this and the migration of working men from the South to Chicago has brought it about. Manifesting this common sense now, the race for the Republican nomination for U. S. House of Representatives will cease being a "cinch" for Representative Madden. He will have to run against Lawyer Scott, and colored politicians declare he (Scott) has a good chance. Not that Mr. Madden has not been a friend to the Negro, and represented his constituents as well as any white man could represent colored people, but Chicago colored folk believe now is the time to send one of their own number to the halls of Congress. It has been a long time since colored men have been sent to Congress. George H. White, of North Carolina, in 1901, was probably the last man to hold such office. Indications that efforts of colored people would be made to return a member to Congress were seen in the nomination of Reverdy C. Ransom on an independent ticket in New York not long ago. The overwhelming defeat of Mr. Ransom has not affected the ardor of Chicagoans, on the contrary, it has urged them on to show that New York is not in it with the metropolis of the West. EAST ST. LOUIS CONGRESSIONAL REPORT Reports of the Congressional Committee sent to investigate the riot of East St. Louis has been made to the House of Representatives by Mr. Johnson of Kentucky. The committee in going to the bottom of the uprising, found few facts that the public does not already know. The committee found that the city officials from Mayor Nollman to the justices of the peace and the police had connection with the murderers and if they did not assist actively, assisted passively by refusing to enforce the law. The conduct of Colonel Tripp, commander of the troops, was found to be so reprehensible as to make him liable to court martial and dismissal. Suggestion to this effect has been sent with the report to the Secretary of War. Representative Johnson's committee has been repeatedly criticized for its tardiness in making public this congressional report of the uprising. But Congress moves slowly in most things and this is no exception. It is noted with pleasure that Representative Johnson has not asked for the discharge of his committee. There is no doubt that until the guilty men are apprehended and punished there still remains work for the Congressional Committee to do. The exploits of two colored infantrymen in repelling a much larger German patrol on the battlefields of France and killing and pounding several Germans has been received over here and over there. Over there:— "Two men cited by General Pershing for gal----lantry, awarded the croix de guerre and the palm----by the French commander, including the kiss on the cheek." Over here:— "Colored troops in Picardy, as in the Civil War and in the war with Spain, are rendering a good account of themselves; and the stories of individual bravery which their exploits are causing to be sent back home should stir American thought to the wrongs as well as the valor of this race. wrongs as well. Colored men in Flanders fight the Huns and win the Battle of Guerre. win the Croix de Gaulle "Colored men in Florida may not even cast a ballot"—Springfield (Mo.) Republican. The San Antonio (Tex.) Express publishes a picture of three colored stevedores, one with a pick, the second with a sledge hammer and the third with a shovel. It says: "Here are some of the United States Negro soldiers cited and decorated for bravery. It is said that the Negro makes the best fighter because of his continually pleasant humor and good nature. First reports of the action of the Negroes in France show that they have been under severe fire and have come out with flying colors. Their spirit and dash has carried them to victory and in the first clash with the Boche and two of their number have been decorated. This picture shows the type of smiling darkey that is serving Uncle Sam over there." It is pretty hard in some places to give even the devil his due. A white minister is devoting a month to a tour through the South in order to fight German propaganda among Negroes. We hope he will spend the other eleven months fighting anti-Negro propaganda among whites. Ignorance of the law is no excuse for the commission of an offense. In New Jersey, Cornelius Jackson paid a fine of $25 for failure to stand up when a band played the Star Spangled Banner. Jackson made the Judge unusually incensed by declaring he did not even know what colors the flag is. This lack of knowledge just cost him $25. The technical charge against him was disorderly conduct.

J., July 7—Leaving Baltimore last Wednesday morning a short stop was made in Philadelphia, a call at the office of the Philadelphia Tribune was of course a necessity. Our enterprising friend, Editor Chris Perry, was found busily engaged in preparation for a new press similar to the one in the Afro-American office. Editor Perry has recently installed a new No. 14 model Linetype and with his new press will have, perhaps, the most modern Neroga newspaper office in the country. After leaving Editor: Perry we stated for our destination, the Downington Industrial and Agricultural Institute, at Downington, Pa. Here we found Dr. W. A. Credit, president of the institution and Mr. "Dan" Credit, of the Baltimore public school system, with outstretched hands to welcome lawyer W. T. McGuinn and myself. This institution is destined to be one of the best schools of its kind in the North if the plans of President Credit are carried out. A fire a year or so ago threw them back somewhat, but Dr. Credit is not the man to give up and already several new buildings have not only been planned but in a fair way of completion, unless the war conditions prevent. Miss M. C. Burner is the secretary of the institution and Miss Rosa M. Seward is the matron. Mr. Daniel Credit is here for his health and incidently he is developing into somewhat of a farmer. The institution has a bright future before it. This school is on the estate formerly owned by Benjamin Franklin and near the old "Underground Railroad" where many shaves traveled from slavery to freedom. It is in the Valley Forge historical grounds where Washington wintered. We had a most pleasant stay here until Saturday morning when we left for this place. Arriving at Sea Isle of course there was no place else to go but to the Ocean House, kept by Mrs. Lue Lee. We are well fixed here and a number of Baltimore guests are expected here this week, among whom are Mr. and W. L. Fitzgerald and Mr. and Mrs. W. Thomas. Mr. Smith, the well known hotel man. For restfulness, good food and good bathing and all that goes to make a vacation well worth the name in Sea Isle City and the Ocean House. When you get here you do not want to go away. However, all things must end and the splendid vacation will come to an end and we will be back in Baltimore the last of the week ready for business with health and strength splendidly restored by this short vacation. EVENTS AT ROCKS. Rocks, Md., July 11—Mr. William Baxter, Jr. met with a serious accident on Friday afternoon, when he undertook to contol a run-away team by presence of mind, he managed to walk with painful mashed foot, Mr. and Mrs. John O. Burks of Baitmore, spent the Fourth as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Baxter Jr. Mrs. Anna Holland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Baxter, died on July 12 (Pa). Hospital with rheumatism, Mrs. Julia Jordan, of Streets Md., was drenched a surprise party by her daughter, Mrs. Syvilla Manns, on July 6th at her home. Quite a number of people enjoyed pleasant evening, after listening to a program of music, were invited to the dining room and served with refreshments. Miss Elizabeth Short, the public school teacher, has returned home after visiting her scholars. Miss Short was given a surprise party by --- her friends before leaving. Mr. Austin Muse and Mr. Peter Short were the guests of Mrs. Rosa Dunsen. FISHERMEN'S PARTY FISHERMEN'S LOCK An enjoyable day was spent by a party of Baltimoreans on the board at Middle River. The party, headed by Dr. W. C. Ward, consisted of housebound children and were on the way to the "fishing grounds" long before noon. But the fish were also celebrating the Fourth and refused to be bothered by the tempting hunt thrown out to them with the result that had the party been depending on what they caught to feed them for a day, they would have starved to death. But they were not and as a result had a splendid outing. Those in the party were: Dr. and Mrs. W. T. C. Ward, family, Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Bied, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Murphy, Mr. William I. Butler, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Truly and Mrs. Mc. and Mrs. M. Misses Edgens Pessonston, Bertin Young, Mattie White, Etta Smith, Lillian Butler, Noel Johnson, Messrs. Edward Thomas and Samuel D. Hayward. MEDICOS GIVE PICNIC The members of the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association gave their annual plenic to Adam's Park on the Fourth. An enjoyable day was spent. Among those in the party were Dr. and Mrs. H. S. McCard and Daughter; Dr. John Robinson and family; Dr. and Mrs. Eoley, Dr. and Mrs. Ibetta and family; Dr. and Mrs. Wright and daughter; Dr. and Mrs. O. H. Arnold, Dr. and Mrs. Hilburn and Dr. and Mrs. Brown and family. Miss Edna Hoge Goldman, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. James Mason Goldman, of Gloucester county, Va., was married to Mr. Joseph Cophus Washington, of Ware Neck, Va., on Saturday afternoon, June 29. The ceremony was performed at 216 W. Hoffman street by Rev. Jones Watkins pastor of the bride. Immediately after, the bridal party spent several hours motoring, they went to their future home, 516 W. Middle street, where refreshments were served. NOTICE TO BARBERS A Word to my Tonsil Brothers of Having read the Barbers' Journal for the past five years I find it very helpful in giving much tansorial information from all over the country and if more of our barbers would read it 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 on Drudk Hill avenue. They not only do 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 your patriotic spirit and protecting yourselves economically. By closing one hour earlier you save a great deal in fuel and light annually. White men and women of the barbers' close at $? I have since April 1st and my business has improved wonderfully. Everyone has shorter hours now and are earning more money. Why not the barbers' Our profession is just as important as any, other if we demonstrate it to the public; and this no one can deny. A hint to the wise is sufficient. C. & P. Phone: Mt. Vernon 3459-2 My best wishes to all business Don't be a slacker. Information comes from a reliable source that when two regiments of colored troops sailed for France recently the colored officers of those regiments "for social reasons were put off to themselves for sleeping, eating and deck accommodations." It is the boast of some that there is no color line in our army and that old glory knows no such line. And we are all glad to be assured of this, if it is true. Certainly if the government of the United States would convince the colored Americans that there is no such thing as the color line in the army and navy countenanced by it, in this war for liberty to all men, it is now taking such a principal part, it should see to it that in the transportation of troops to help win the war colored officers should not "for social reasons be put off themselves for sleeping and eating deck accommodations." These things cannot be permitted by the government, and so become known, and are colored of colored Americans to throw themselves wholeheartedly into this struggle where many of them must make the extreme sacrifice. These colored men who are in the service of the country as soldiers, are American citizens, American soldiers, and are due the treatment of such, and any treatment short of this is unworthy of them and of the nation that permits it. Why should officers in the United States Army be set off to themselves for "social reasons for sleeping, eating and deck accommodations" while being transported "over there" to fight alongside of their white brethren for world democracy and liberty? We should like to hear what the department that has the work of troop transportation in charge, has to say about this phase of the color line among officers. THE NEW YORK WORLD DISCONTINUES THE USE OF THE WORD "DARKIES" The New York Age in its last issue gives a news item which is not only interesting and pleasing, but also significant and important. The Item in effect is that in answer to a communication from Managing Editor Lester A. Walton of the Age, that colored Americans "did not take kindly to the term in print," there came the reply from the media of the World: "I am quite right that the word "diligence" is wrong. I am sorry it appeared and I have given orders that the word shall not be used again." This is interesting and pleasing because the word as used in describing colored Americans in print, is so used in most if not all cases in decision, implying mockery or ridicule, showing contempt and want of due respect. The acknowledgement of the managing editor of the World that such use of the word is wrong and his order to discontinue its use in his great paper which has the largest, or most any morning paper, in the city of New York, is pleasing because such action throughout the country to see, as does the World, the wrong in habitually designating a class of citizens by term or word that is not only displeasing to them, but which tends to hold them up, as such, to ridicule and contempt and work to their humiliation. This action of the World, brought about through the efforts of the Age is important and significant because it not only evidences the fact that there are men and journals of the white people in the country who are disposed to right a wrong when pointed out to them, and stop the practice of any thing that works to the displeasure, ridicule, contempt and humiliation of any people undeservedly. This action is important and significant because it is another evidence that there is a growing sentiment in this country among his better class and thinking white people in all classes of American citizen, regardless of or color the respect which American citizenship should and ought to bring and give. With the increase of this sentiment will necessarily follow the right and proper treatment as well as the due respect of all those who heretofore have suffered from these things, which are every human being's due being withheld from them. Whatever may be the cause for this marked change in sentiment towards the colored American, whether the new conditions, relations and circumstances growing out of the present world war, or something altogether foreign to it, nevertheless the change is marked, and anything that evidences it is interesting, pleasing, important and significant. We are grateful to the Managing Editor of the Age for calling the attention of the World's editors to the use in their great daily of a term so displeasing to colored Americans the prompt and many action on their part in admitting the wrong the word does and ordering the discontinuance of its use in their paper. The Age and The World are atright in this no little matter. You will be next. THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH COMPARED WITH THE 7th DAY The above caption is the title of an interesting pamphlet written by the Rev. W. M. Ivy of the C. M. E. church. The pamphlet shows careful research and study on the part of the author, and cites many scriptural references in proof of the position which he has and maintains inimply, that "the old Seventh Day Sabbath pass, and the first Day Sabbath pass, which we call Sabbath is now the proper Sabbath" This day, the author claims, "was the Sabbath that Adam and all of the patriarchs kept, on down till the law was given to Moses. The pamphlet is well worth reading and will doubtless prove helpful to those who have not fixed and setteed views on this mooted question, as well as interesting reading to those who are not very much concerned about which was, or is, the original and proper day for worship and service—the Seventh or the First. V. M. C. A. Upon the invitation of Bishop John Hurst, a number of representative citizens were present at a get-together movement, at his residence 1808 Mculloh street last night. The movement was in the interest of the Drudg Hill Avenue Branch of the Y. M. C. A. Building Fund. It is indeed important that such a movement be made if the sun needed to meet the pledge of the colored people of the city is raised by the time the building is completed. The men of means in every city and community must of necessity not only take the initiative in launching any great and successful enterprise for the public good, but they must stay with, and get behind it if it is to be put over. This must be our substantial citizens here in Baltimore if our part of the cost of the new building for the Drudg Hill Avenue Branch is in hand when the building is completed. building is almost all cases where large things have been accomplished for the public good, that were dependent on voluntary contributions, it has occurred that a few men of means, public-spirited, generous, and broad-hearted, have made the things undertaken possible and real by their liberty. What success the colored people have had in meeting, so far as they have, their pledges towards a Y. M. C. A. buildings erected that accepted the Rosemary offer, has been due, in a large measure, to the fact that certain of our men and women have come forward and made surprisingly large gifts to that end. This was in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Atlanta, and suspect in all the other cities using these buildings. While the people of Baltimore did well in their subscriptions, the greater part of which they have paid, nevertheless no individual has given any sum the equal of that given by individuals in the cities named. We do not think that the statement will be questioned that we have in our midst, some well to do and prosperous colored citizens as any of these cities, and we doubt not that if they are brought to see the necessity and importance meeting our full pledge to the reasons which have been often repeated since the building was started—that they are genuinely public-spirited broad-minded and generous to now get individual gifts that will put this matter over to the satisfaction and delight of all. It is to be hoped that such will be the outcome of the get-together movement held at Bishop Hurst's last night. It is now up to our substantial, representative, prosperous, public-spirited, generous citizens to show our people that they are all that is claimed for them, and that they have their people's honor, good name and well-being at heart. --- DISMISSED FROM THE SERVICE Captain Eugene C. Rowan of Atlanta, Ga., late of the 1623 Depot Brigade, has by the action of a court martial, been dismissed from the service because he insisted upon drawing the color-line. He was charged with "refusing to obey an order issued by the brigade commander calling for a troop formation because he understood colored and white soldiers were to be included in the formation." For this he was arrested, tried and missed from the court from this it is ordered that the army authorities be made on account of color. into the army the nation has called men of every color and race who are citizens, and who are physically and morally fit to fight for world democracy and liberty, and it cannot tolerate in its ranks and allow to wear an American soldier's uniform who so much as attempts to discriminate against another because of his color. The action of the court in dismissing Captain Rowan is just and what he richly deserved. He was unworthy of wearing a soldier's uniform and more so, that of an officer. There must be no color line in the Army or Navy or in any other department of service of the national Government, if we are to get out of the men who are willing to make the greatest sacrifice, the best service. Black men today, with their white brethren, are united in the struggle "over there" in upholding our country's honor, and in resisting the Huns in their aggression on our civilization and the country, must and we believe will see to it that they are treated everywhere, at home and abroad, as American citizens and American soldiers. A LETTER FROM FRANCE Miss Trene Johnson, of 1454 N. Carey street, received on Monday a letter from Sergt. Landin, drum major of the 368th Infantry Band, stating that their arrival was a safe one. He was also present with the boys. He wished to be remembered to all admirers and friends of the 368th Infantry Band. CAMBRIDGE Cambridge, Ma.

He was eighteen and he was hers. Uncle couldn't claim him. She was for the mothers whose sons had to the front, but she felt that in years time the war would be and she would still have her boy. He was still in school, would soon be home for the sum. He was a scout, mentor, good about his duties; but that did not he he was home. her pretty, fluttering way, she drew from worker to worker in the Cross rooms, and saw to it that woman had the benefit of her helping and taught to make acceptable surgical dressings.

She could not spend her amount in bad taste in this time. She had to be that composed like her hands, and like them, she made over years dresses and hats, and did it, oft that few really believed she doing it.

She felt quite gay and happy as she speeded along, and had all sorts of pleasant thots. Of course she was perfectly amazed when one of the Professors came to her and told her, he had not seen Jim Junior that day, and hewens usually so punctual in his attendance, that he had that more than one of calling up and asking if he was sick; but being kept very busy with his classes, had been unable to do so. He had learnt a school at the usual school before had he failed to tell her of his intentions. She felt a sudden keen sack of pain and loss, yet outwardly unmoved by the statement, she bowed sweetly to the Professor, and smilingly said, "I expect he is spending the day with his father. Since the war began I only see my family at breakfast and dinner" and smilingly she drove off. She was worried for the first time in her life, and forgetting all about speed laws she drove, frantically homewards, arriving home, came the disappointing news that neither Jim Junior nor Jim Senior had been seen since morning. Going to the phone she called up the office and the stenographer said he had not returned. After a little that, she laughed quickly to herself and decided she was getting all flustered and worried up about nothing at all. She had been talking of a cribbing trip down the bay for some time and finding he could get off and taken Jim Junior and go. She was a silly goose. Mate had been a farmer boy and before studying law had studied landscape gardening. When he built his present home he wanted beautiful flowers, birds, fish, squirrels and waterfowl on his grounds. He spent all his spare time in his first five years in his new home, working in his grounds, and the result was a beauty spot, that any one might be proud of possessing. But deep in a sloping landscape behind gorgeous trees, is a rose garden of such beauty that one beholding it for the first time is entranced. The birds singing in the trees over-head, squirrels running and jumping among their branches, and gold fish in the small lake in the center of the garden, and beautiful white swans gliding on the surface of the water, and on the side of the rose garden, is a lovely rustic arbor surrounded by gorgeous running pools of all colors. Here Ikhoda Edie sought mental rest, and quieted and here she sat quietly reading when she heard her husband and son coming sitting in subdued voices, then Jim Junior's voice, in loud, shrill, excited laughter, like nurtured tears. "Here I am Daddy and Jim Junior; won't you walk into my garden and take a drink of nectar the Gods have provided," she called laughingly, and wondered at the silence that followed her call. "What's wrong?" she asked peeping around the arbor for them. "Have you a surprise for me? Is it something nice? Tell me quick." she said, all of a flutter, "quick Jim Junior, bring it to mother. Where are you she cried, "come where I can see you, I don't feel like playing chase the fox today, and she sat back in her chair, and threw her head up, and there standing in front of her was Jim Junior in khaki, with the jauyn cap of an aviator cocked saxially on one side of his early black head. For a moment everything swam before her eyes, one awful—eternal moment, then like the flutter-out-judget, she looked up smiling at him. They were playing a game to see if she was a sport clear thru, it was only a borrowed suit and a game. She laughingly held out her arms, in silence, not quite of herself after the bright. Jim Junior grabbed her to her feet, and hugging her, blessing her, cried "I told you Dad you didn't know my fairy mother. I knew she'd be game, and a sport clear thru. Mother, you a brick. Dad said you were his lovable little Flutter Budget, and it would be too much for you; but I talked him out of it and we have been scheming and planning for weeks to surprise you. If I picked A I, Just to think my fairy mother A I. Do you know what that means dear; Dad said they wanted no Negro boys in the Aviation Corps, but they took me and never asked what nationality it was. I guess they that we were white so we let it go at that. Look up little fairy mother. I want to carry your picture always in my mind how you looked when I told you." She felt as though the whole world was tumbling about her head. Her eyes were closed, and she was holding her boy tight close to her heart. How could she look up at him, and not let him see the fear and the horror in heres. She heard her boy's voice as in a dream calling "Come here Dad, and look at your little brown thrush of a flutter budget. Didn't I tell you she would be wonderful and proud of her boy, because she would know he was going out to fight for her as well as his race. I knew she'd understand; I told you so." He was patting her, holding her tight in his arms, and when she looked up at him, with all the mother love shining in her eyes, she kissed his lovely young mouth that trembled on her own, she kissed his eyes, and pulled down his head and kissed it, the loving head she had cuddled so often in her arms. She swallowed the sob, that arose so painfully in her throat, hiding her face for a moment, in the hollow of his khaki clad arm. Then she faced them, her little head held high, eyes shining with the light of the mother how that never yet failed. My big soldier boy, my handsome soldier boy, she whispered softly, mother is so very proud of her soldier boy. Do you know my soldier boy that mother is so proud of you that she does not know how to tell you. Jim Senior stood watching them, his little Brown Thrush and his big handsome son, and he thot never in her life before not even when she was a bride, was she as beautiful as now, with the mother love shining in her face. "You see mother, Dad wanted me to tell you when I enlisted, but I wanted to give you one grand, big, surprise, when my suit was finished and I had my orders to repeat to camp. I'm off with the boys in the mornings. There are three of us to go. But I know not one of them can say that their mothers were any braver than mine. Come mother, I'm hungry as a bear, and I know there is a good dinner waiting for us. I don't want you to walk to the house. I want to carry you, like I do sometimes when I catch you, when we play chase the fox. Picking her up in his arms, he stalked off to the house, Jim Senior by his side, every few steps, he'd squeeze her tight and kiss her, and say "A big bear hug and a bird of a kiss fairy." 'The next morning Mrs. Jim Edie reported at headquarters ahead of time. She had seen Jim Junior off to camp and she had been gay and smiling to the very last andonly Jim Senior knew that she had not closed her eyes in sleep, but had sat by the window all thru the long-long night looking across the garden to the tent that held her young son, where he insisted on sleeping the whole summer long. She looked at the women gathered about the tables knitting, and making bandages. How beautiful their faces were. They were no longer strangers, but sisters working for the same cause. She was more, interested in them than she had ever been before. Never in her life had any set of women interested her before in just this way. Why she was really in love with them. And they felt the change. They were loving her also. She was not only a lovable little flutter budget, but she was sympathetic. Every day they brought her cards, and letters from their boys, "over there" and they felt she understood, she laughed with them, and cried with them, and helped them more than any one else. She was a prime favorite among them all. Were these women not working for her son, the same as she was theirs. Sorry makes she whole world kin Her friends stopped calling her Mrs. Flutter Budget. She had become lovable, lovely Rihanna Edle, as one woman said to another, "She's a dear and oh, I love her." Mrs. James Edie, Flatter Budget, had caught a world wide vision that lifted her out of the depths, and she was a true loving, unselfish service meant.

You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many co-called hair growbs 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 Quimide 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. Quimide is a preparation of a proper 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 through cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fuzzy 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 drugstress or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this pener — Advt Mime. M. A.
