About 600 colored young men were sent to Camp Meade Thursday and Friday, making the third insultment of men registered a year ago to be called to the colors. Every ward in the city, except the 21st, was represented this week. The quotas of the men insulted yet, but a subsequent call may bring out all of those registered on the first draft. It was a surging mob of friends that gathered in and around Camden Station Thursday morning to see the boys from the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 14th, 16th and 18th wards entrain for Camp Mende. The Commonwealth Land had started with the 18th warders and on Baltimore street, near Freemont, picked up the men from the 4th. This gave the crowd vibe, and it was considerably augmented when Camden Station was reached. Captain Coe and a squad of policemen were there from the Western District to preserve order, but their services were hardly needed. - The men from the 6th, 7th, 8th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd wards left Union Station Friday morning. The 17th ward had the biggest contingent in line—74 men. The 22nd was next with 52, and the 12th showed up with just two men—a set of twins, as a bystander facetiously put it. Crowds were there, like at Camden Station the day before, to bid the men a fond farewell and to express the wish that they would aid maternity in walloping the forces of the Kaiser.

PRIVATE JOHNSON CAUGHT New York, July 16.—According to a Bridgeport (Conn.) dispatch to the New York American, "Private Henry Johnson," who has been posing as the war hero of the same name, has been arrested.

Urges-His Brethren to Cease All Litigation Against Colored Elks as "Dignified Course." Atlantic City, N. J., July 15.—At the annual meeting of the white Elks held here last week, a significant passage appears in the annual report of their Grand Exalted Ruler which arouses the hope among colored Elks that the burrowing of them with milk aimed to put them out of business has come to an end. The Grand Exalted Ruler of the white Elks, who, coincidentally, is a native of Wittonham, N. C., the same city which gave the colored Elks their Grand Exalted Ruler, in his annual report said: "I have never been in accord with the attitude which the Grand Lodge has assumed for a number of years toward the Negro organization, which has adopted the name 'Improved, Renewed and Protective Order of Ells of the World.' I have thought that our order was so permanently established, so distinctive in character and membership, that we could well afford to ignore any attempt at initiation on the past of those who, for obvious reasons, could never impose upon the white public or our own members, even if they desired. So far as I am advised no evidence of any such desire or intention has ever been displayed by the organization in question. "In my opinion the most dignified and effective course for our Order to pursue in the premises is to refrain from further litigation, and to pay no further attention to the Negro Ells, except to show them such consideration as may be properly due an organization which claims to be engaged in benevolent and charitable work among a race which both needs and deserves such service." It is no secret that Grand Exalted Ruler Armand W. Scott, of the Colored Elks, conferred with the Grand Exalted Ruler of the white Elks some time since. The supposition is that that conference was beneficial, and that Armand W. Scott, pernicious the most effective and achieving Grand Exalted Ruler who ever presided over the destinies of the colored organization, convinced his fellow-townsman, the Grand Exalted Ruler of the white Elks, that the two orders are parallel instead of antagonistic, benevolence at a time when benevolence is paramount. ST CLAIR RE-ELECTED Cambridge, Md., July 17—City Councilman H. M. St. Chair has been re-elected for the ensuing term. He was unopposed.

WINS TWO VICTORIES Colored Patients Are Now Admitted to Wisconsin Tubercular Sanitarium. ORDER OF GOVERNOR Secretary McAdoo Puts Curb on Officious Thrift Stamp Agent in Louisiana New York, July 17.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, announces that through its instrumentality two victories have been won for the colored people. The State Board of Control of Wisconsin, upon the initiative of Governor E. L. Phillip to whom the Association wrote a letter of protest against the exclusion of colored patients from the Wisconsin State Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Statesen, Wis., has directed that colored people be admitted into the sanatorium under the same conditions as white persons and that no distinction be drawn between colored and white people. The superintendent of the Sanatorium, Dr. R. L. Williams, is quoted in one of the Wisconsin daily papers as saying that Negroes and whites alike would be given treatment in the same wards and rooms. The letter from the state superintendent of control follows: Mr. John R. Shillady, Secretary National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Dear Sir: Governor Phillip has submitted to this Board your communication to him under date of June 17th, concerning the admission of colored persons into the Wisconsin State Tuberculosis Sanatorium at T Statesen, Wisconsin. This matter was called to the attention of the Board sometime ago. The matter was taken up with Governor Phillip and he was of the opinion that colored persons were entitled to the same privilege as white people in the matter of admissions to the sanatorium. The Board at that time wrote Dr. Williams, the superintendent of the sanatorium, and directed that colored people be admitted into the sanatorium under the same conditions as white persons and that no distinction be drawn between colored and white people. We do not understand why the management of the sanatorium assumed the position that colored people were not entitled to the same privilege as the whites, because no suggestion of that kind was ever made by Governor Phillip or this Board. We were glad to receive the letter which you wrote to the Governor, so that we would have an opportunity to give you information as to the action of Governor Phillip and this Board in reference to the admission of colored persons into the sanatorium. By M. J. Tappins, Secretary The second victory of the N. A. A. C. P. follows a letter of June 21 to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo in which the N. A. A. C. P. calls the Secretary's attention to the fact that the chairman of the War Savings Stamp Committee, of Caddo Parish, La. of which Shreveport is the center, had, according to a press article in the Shreveport Times, declared that he would adopt force to compel Negroes to buy War Savings Stamps. The Association announces that it is in receipt of a Tetter from the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in Secretary McAdoo's absence, in which the acting head of the Treasury Department says that the clipping sent by the N. A. A. C. P. will be promptly investigated and that the local War Savings Committee will be asked to see that the practice complained of is not repeated. The N. A. A. C. P. also announces that acknowledgment of the Association's inquiry concerning the case of Private S. P. Jones, who was forced from a Pullman car at Texarkana, has been made by the Third Assistant Attorney-in-Fact informed the Association that he had material to the Attorney General upon instructions from the Secretary of War Baker. A LINE ON TRENCH LIFE NEW YORK TRENCH LIFE Columbo, NY. from the front line inaches in France, Ralph Tylor, Jr., has the following to say to his mother: "At this writing, I am sitting in the front line trenches listening to the chimes of the Square Heads" (German) shells, I am so glad to say so far so good. Nobody could imagine, what goes on. The big shells play, the lower notes and the smaller ones the higher. So quietly, we have all pieces to boast." According to press dispatches American colored troops in France participated in the American defense against the big German offensive this week. They held their lines well, and it is reported that where they were fighting better results against the Germans' were shown. The men, despite the fact that they had been on continuous duty at one sector during the past three months, begged to be allowed to get in the fray, and they saw their heaviest fighting since leaving America. Their white commander was in a hospital receiving treatment for a broken ankle when he heard of the men being on the fireline. Against the advice of his doctors, he summoned an automobile and was soon on the fireline, where he assumed command. The men directed a heavy artillery fire at the Germans and their work showed more damage to the Huns than at any other point along the line. The men fought with a wad and a disregard of danger that we admiration of both French and American officers. Several weeks ago American New troops—very commended for their value as fighters on the line of Verdun. The Germans attempt to bombard the sector where the were, throwing nearly 4,000 shells near them. In the midst of this heavy fire from Hum guns, the colored troops cool and bravery stuck to their posts, and kept up a galling and steady fire against the enemy from machine guns and automatic guns, thus greatly harrassing the enemy. The colored troops from America are highly regarded as fighters) and they are constantly fictional to get a chance at the Kaiser's men. NEGRO TROOPS SCORE HUNS The use of Negro troops against the Huns and their success in the past in making materially in thwarting some of the Kaier's allies have made the German propagandists and Potsdam crowd resort to misrepresent the United States because of its use of colored troops. The German wireless at Nauen has been flooding neutral countries with the report that "America must be in a vory bad way if she has to resort to the use of Negro troops." The Germans, when only Russia, France and Germany were against them, were the first to protest against the use of Negro troops, declaring this to be a white man's war. The French colonists and the Negro troops of the British have proved their valor times without number for the battlefields of Europe. Indeed, many of the French colored troops have been decorated for their valor, and some have been advanced to high rank in the army. All of this has made the Germans bring out the color question.

They are residing at 1338 Division St. That anybody should take a night like Wednesday night to take a trip over "hot sand" is almost unbelievable but nevertheless the fact remains that some nineteen novices took a chance at it and, if reports are true, a considerable amount of ice water was necessary to cool matters off after the hot journey was over. All of which means that the local temple of Shriners initiated a class of aforesaid novices at their hiatus in the Afro-American building Wednesday night, and the aforesaid novices at now full-fledged Shriners, and furthermore promise to make it as warm as possible for the next set that comes along. The following novices crossed the hot hall: John W. Brown, John Caldwell, S. C. Campbell, J. W. Chappell, C. Fossett, C. A. Gross, W. H. Gross, Q. D. Jones, W. A. Jones, J. Logan Jenkins, BenJ.

Champion Baby Block: Residents of the 2200 block of Druid Hill avenue are justly proud of their block. They have a record that is probably the best in the city. Every resident in the block is a firm opponent of race suicide and if you don't believe it you have only to pass that way about seven o'clock in balmy afternoon and see the 73 children who are residents there at play. The latest addition to this galaxy is a fine little girl that arrived at the residence on Tuesday. Also Tuesday evening, making the total number of children in the block seventy-four. If there is another block in the city that can boost of more children than are located in the 2200 block of Druid Hill avenue, now is the time to step up and take the prize. THANKS TO OUR PATRONS FOR COOPERATION We have the interest of the community at heart and are ever studying how we can best serve it. The one element of our business policy is to spread our service here, there and everywhere. The fact that we note every day, the management greets new faces with card in hand stating the courtesy of a patron—such courtesies with us spells co-operation.

INSTITUTE CLOSES With a platform meeting, the second annual Sunday School and Enworth League of the Washington M. E. Conference came to an end at Morgan College, Arlington avenue and Hillen Road, last Sunday afternoon. The speakers at the closing session included Rev. and Mrs. Dan Brummitt, Rev. J. U. King of Wilmington, Del. prescheduled in the morning. Over 300 persons were in attendance. Among those who delivered addresses during the session was Dr. D. D. Martin, who is connected with the Stewart Missionary Foundation for Africa, with headquarters at Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta. He urged interest in the welfare of the people of Africa. The Eastern Film Company took photos of the institute last Friday, and they will be the only exhibit from the colored conferences that the denomination will have placed on the screen. Th success of the institute was due largely to the interest of Miss Edyth Cooper. The 1919 session will be held on the college grounds. MAY RETIRE DR. LUCAS. Rev. W. W. Lucas may be supplanted as assistant secretary of the Epworth League of the M. E. Church. It is said that the Epworth League Board of the denomination desires more aggressive work among the colored people, hence the rumored change. A well known Baltimorean is said to have been offered the position but declined. Rev. Dr. Lucas succeeded Dr. I. Garland Pean when the latter was elected one of the secretaries of the Freedmen's Aid Society in 1912. It is widely known as an entertaining speaker. His home is in Meridian, Miss. INCEUM LECTURE COURSE UNDER CANVASS PAVILION Strong, aggressive, outdoor, public efforts are now being inaugurated in the large cities throughout the world, by the clergists of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. In the state of Maryland alone six such public efforts are in operation at the present time. The city of Baltimore is surpassed three of those efforts, two of which are directed by local ministers, and the other local colored pastor, M. C. Strainan. For the occasion, Elder Strainan has erected a large canvass pavilion on the vault lot on Division street, between Lafayette and Lannale. These outdoor meetings of the Adventists usually attract the same amount of attention no matter if they are held in Tokio or Boston. A little opposition to their work arises at times, nevertheless, hosts of people as well as ministers from other denominations crowd their tents nearly every night, to listen to their talks on health, practical Christianity, Bible prophecy and doctrine. Hundreds of dollars are contributed toward the expense of their efforts, and the meetings invariably close with the most gratifying invitation that church. Sunday night Elder Stirchau enters meetings, the third week of his course of lectures. In this new series of talks he hopes to give his hearers a study in the plan of salvation and the way of life. There is nothing flowery about the Elder's speech, but in his simple manner, and conversational tone he gains the interest, and something kind of makes a fellow want to go back and hear him again. Song service begins promptly at eight fifteen o'clock and the lecture at nine. Take the Pennsylvania or Drudl Hill avenue cars and get off at Lafayette avenue or Lanvale street. Everybody welcome. Au orchestra and choir assist the congregational singing. QUARTERLY CONFERENCE The first quarterly conference was held at Shiloh A. M. E. Mission, July 15th. Rev. J. G. Martin, presiding elder; Rev. Henry Thomas, pastor. Rev. Thomas with his people are doing a great work here. Since his return they have raised $336.75, down the petition and remodeled the church. Pray that God may bless the efforts that are being put forth for the Master's Kingdom. CHORAL SOCIETY PICNIC The Cosmopolitan Choral Society gave a delightful outing on the place of Mr. Charles G. Hoes, Heathbrook, Roland Park, Wednesday. Rev. Charles E. Stewart, the director, and the members sang a number of selections. A fine dinner was served, and the singers left for their respective homes Wednesday night, stating that they had had the time of their lives.

RUNNING TRUE TO FORM. Navy Department sent out this telegram to direct recruiting officers to enroll in the Navy many mess attendants, officers' Cooks and possible. Upon enrollment, call to act to refer to commandant, naval district in war or outfitting and instructions, to be certain orders of the Bureau." It be noted that nothing is said about recruiting corps or for other duty of naval shipy win all sorts of laurels in French war century to live down its reputation of a black folk. The Navy Department sent out this telegram recently: "Direct recruiting officers to enroll in the Naval Service as many mess attendants, officers' Cooks and stewards as possible. Upon enrollment, call to active duty and transfer to commandant, naval district in which enrolled, for outfiting and instructions, to be certain until further orders of the Bureau." It will be noted that nothing is said about recruiting men for the marine corps or for other duty of naval ships. The U.S. Navy may win all sorts of laurels in French waters, but it will take a century to live down its reputation of discriminating against black folk. PROPAGANDA estrian in New York violated the espionage colored people certain states for their own depression of the whites and permission of the violent kingdom. In return for these key parts of Germany after the war, colorism among themselves, tell each other the and support Germany instead of the United States of the mistakes that Germany made in India. In case of the American Negro, may provoke defeat. Germany in 1914 believe peoples in these countries would rise up and governments as soon as these governments the war. There have been outbreaks in new serious, the world may not know unraised after the war. However, these seven serious enough to cripple the motto on the war. America the Negro has not ceased protests of the whites and ought not to these protesting Negroes are doing the doing it with men and money. Problem in America, the Indian problem in Ireland—all of them. The large majority of these peoples, the oppressed class, will neither invite, reference. Any neighbor who has ansettle a domestic quarrel and has received the combined efforts of the late lighters isitate the colored people's reception of Christianity. Alabama in its own view at least, is the racial animosity. An innovation with the recent Red Cross Parade. Congregate Register said of the parade: significant feature of Friday's Red Cross ride, was the turn-out of colored people of their women's Red Cross division, even in white and wearing the Red Cross badge. The neatness of this division. The colored schools also made a goodannel and conduct. All these people with the white paraders, marching over the same time, with their own band flags and banners. Afro-American is compelled to admit the rare democratic, when colored and white parade in Mobile. An Austrian in New York violated the espionage act by promising colored people certain states for their own, release from the oppression of the whites and permission to organize an independent kingdom. In return for these kind concessions on the part of Germany after the war, colored people should work among themselves, tell each other the truth about the warfi and support Germany instead of the United States. One of the mistakes that Germany made in India, Ireland and in the case of the American Negro, may prove the cause of her ultimate defeat. Germany in 1914 believed that oppressed peoples in these countries would rise up against their several governments as soon as these governments got themselves into the war. There have been outbreaks in India and Ireland—how serious, the world may not know until the censorship is raised after the war. However, these outbreaks have not been serious enough to cripple the mother country in carrying on the war. In America the Negro has not ceased protesting against the injustices of the whites and ought not to cease. At the same time these protesting Negroes are doing their part in the war, and doing it with men and money. The Negro problem in America, the Indian problem in India and the Irish problem in Ireland—all of them are family quarrels. The large majority of these peoples, who go to make up the oppressed class, will neither invite, nor tolerate outside interference. Any neighbor who has attempted to butt in and settle a domestic quarrel and has received a black eye from the combined efforts of the late fighters for his pains can appreciate the colored people's reception of German propaganda. Mobile, Alabama in its own view at least, is eliminating much of the racial animosity. An innovation without precedent was the recent Red Cross Parade. Congratulating itself, the Mobile Register said of the parade: "A significant feature of Friday's Red Cross parade in Mobile, was the turn-out of colored people; and especially of their women's Red Cross division, each member clad in white and wearing the Red Cross head covering and badge. The neatness of this division was admirable. The colored schools also made a good showing, in personnel and conduct. All these people were brigaded with the white paraders, marching over the same route at the same time, with their own band of music and their flags and banners. The Afro-American is compelled to admit that times are getting more democratic, when colored and white march in the same parade in Mobile."

This is the caption of an interesting article written by Rev. William T. Ellis D. L. and dated France, June 18, 1938, in which it is claimed that clearly revealed conditions at this time among soldiers at the front disclose that "all things from the very existence of a supreme being to the right of a church to exist, have had to face the challenge of this new emancipated, free thinking audacious war mind." The writer assures us that the armies of the Allies believe in God—in a great God whose ways, although past finding out, is yet God who through this awaits is doing something for humanity. A God of goodness and goodness and as such is man's co-worker in all his efforts to bring to mass and permanently establish righteousness on earth—a God meaningful and kind who will therefore feel guilty with the fallen, and acknowledging their times to be in His hands—commit themselves to Him and trust Him the good and loving God. We see nothing new in such a belief for doubtless is genuine and true to the home training and the church schooling they have received. None of today questions that our God is a great God—whose ways we are not able to discover and when revealed are not fully comprehended by us, nevertheless we believe that in all his ways and dealing—in all the occurrences of individual and national life and history—his hand is busy doing that with, by, and for humanity that which He has purposed regarding their destiny and blessing. And surely the church through long ages has taught, regardless of the theology of zone, and it has been and is the delight of many to believe—that this God who is the Lord is the thunderers mighty—"the Jehovah of the thunderers and the God of battles" is nevertheless the God of, goodness and love, even merciful and kind, and gentle and tender in his dealings with the creatures of his regrardless of their fidelities and faults. We all love to believe and think of our God as such, and we are comforted in the insurance that Jesus Christ came to the earth on the important and blessed mission (chiefly) to make known to poor broken humanity the cheering, encouraging, comforting, inspiring fact—that God is our Father—loving, kind and true—that He cares for us, wishes us only good, and that all will be well with us in time and through eternity if we only trust him as such. We see nothing new, either in what the writer of the article tells us is the teaching of some as chapkins and Y. M. C. A. workers among the soldiers at the front, as to "the fate and state of the dead." The excerpt from Cardinal Mercier's teachings, sayings or writings on this question will in our judgment prove more than interesting to soldiers and to loved ones at home, yet will be comforting to them to think and believe that those who are suffering in the battlefield right, are assured of eternal life. And whether this idea so eagerly seized as we are told by many at the front will stand the test of critical theological investigation, or not, one would take from the man who makes the extreme sacrifice or from his loved ones grief stricken by his loss—the comfort that the belief that the great good and kind God will gently deal with the fallen, in a righteous cause that it will finally be well with them. The belief in an intermediate state and in the efficacy of prayer on behalf of the dead which the article cities is now being propagated by many religious teachers among the soldiers, and readily accepted by many of them, are not new teachings or beliefs. Such doctrines have been taught by the church for ages. So far as we are concerned we have no fear that there, will be any increase in infliction in the treachery of the soldiers, and anything that will jeopardize their salvation, and we certainly have no quarrel with any religious worker among them who can say, speak or teach them, anything that will inspire them with hope and courage and give them the assurance that God will take care of them here and hereafter. THE PASSING OF THE OLD GUARD The recent passing away of the late Dr. John M. Johnson of this city which removed from our midst one of the first and oldest professional By Jackson D. Smith Again we hear the country's call. For men strong, brave and true, To fight for world democracy. With the red, white and blue. But no braver men you'll find Uncle Sam Than those fearless sons of Mam. They were called in seventeen- seventy-six It was one who held the old flag sound. So that it never touched the ground. March on! brave boys, your cause is right Till the dawn of a perfect day. Sing on with your Eternal Lamb, You happy Sons of Ham. THE AFRO-AMERICAN men of our race, brought forcibly to us the fact that the ranks of the men who for years have stood out conspicuously in the life of our people are being fast depleted. Of the men who were foremost and most active, in all the affairs of the community in the different walks of life thirty or more years ago, as professional men, business men and men of public affairs—men who helped in a large measure by their activities or by their moral and financial support to bring about conditions, here in this city that put within the reach of our people many of the advantages and opportunities which they now enjoy, but comparatively few now remain. Among this number which is growing almost almost every week we meet, Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, Dr. Wm. M. Alexander, Dr. E.W. E. S. Peck, Mr. Geo. Siddons, Wm. H. J. Neeler, Mr. Solomon Decourse, Mr. J. Edward Lansay, Mr. James Hughes, Mr. J. W. Martin, Dr. Whitfield Winsey, Capt. George Matthews, Mr. Alfred Pitt and others which though not as associated with them in their efforts to demonstrate the capabilities of the men of our race—their ability to enter, and succeed in professional life—has pursued in the social life as well as to their people in the city, at a time when their advantages and opportunities were less, and the grounds for encouragement and enthusiasm were not so firm and assuring as now. As we cannot old guard passes to us we cannot not be mindful of their achievements, and we should see to it that we fail not to accord to those who are still left to us and with us the credit and which is deservedly their due. Our city has from its earliest days deuced men of our own race who have been most successful in their chosen professions, in business and in the educational, internal, social, civic and political affairs of this municipality and commonwealth. A line heritage men bequeathed to the younger men of the city by them, and we cherish the hope and desire that not only will the most be made of this, but much more of real worth and lasting value may be added to it by them, so that the children of today will come into the possession of all the advantages and privileges that others enjoy and have the fullest opportunity to achieve the largest success in all their life's work pursued along the lines of their natural bent inclination and special fitness through proper training. THE STATE WIDE FARMERS' CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION SALLEURY, MD. This conference which is to be held September 16 to 22 this year under the auspices of the Maryland Council of Defense Colored Division and the Wicomico County Emancipation and Fair Association, gives promises of being a success and accomplishing that for which it has been purposed and planned, namely "to stimulate among the colored people of the State of Maryland a renewed and continued interest in agricultural pursuits, in mechanical arts, in scientific applications and home economies", and thereby "increase the skill and reliability of farm labor" among our people. We will be able to benefit them by means of the practical use of improved farm implements how really attractive and profitable farm life may be made, and so lessen the migration of farm laborers to cities and turn others to the rural districts where opportunities for real success to the intelligent, practical farmer, are so many and inviting, and where the need for such at this time is so imperative. Already a large number of the farmers of the state have become interested and have promised to make exhibits and give their attendance on the sessions of the conference. There is no question with us that the conference and exhibition will be successful, and we know all that we do our bit to make a great success. No matter what may have been our view regarding the best location for the holding of the conference exhibition, now since the place and time for its holding are definitely settled and fixed every one should get busy and give the Council of Defense Colored Division the fullest and heartiest cooperation in making the affair most creditable as well as successful. New York, July 18. Stories of the Americans in the trenches were brought to the Yale Club last night by Frederick L. Smith, who spoke in behalf of the Y. M. C. A. campaign to recruit 4,000 war secretaries. Mr. Smith told about meeting, plastered in trench mud, the Negroes of the 15th New York Regiment. "Weebowed our way along the trench far out of the last mud wall where a little Negro soldier, with musket on his shoulder, walked up and down." Mr. Smith said. "That boy stood there as the outpost and guardian of civilization. As we approached him he dropped his musket, splash into a puddle of water and said: "Good Lord, is that you, Mr. Smith? I was your iceman for three years." "Sure enough, that noble Negro boy had carried lee to my home in White Plains nearly three years. These men are normal men. When that boy rallied his wits the first words out of his mouth, even though the German guns were only a hundred yards away, were: "Mr. Smith, have you got the same cook you used to have?" Segregation Rampant Say Laboring Men To the Editor of the Afro-American: Sir;—We are not ministers, nor candidates for the ministry, but if you will allow us space in the columns of your paper we will preach a short season this morning. We shall take for our text a sentence found in the editorials of this morning's Baltimore American, the text reads as follows: "The time to draw the color line in the editor's conclusion nation." This text is the Editor's conclusion drawn from the statement that colored graduate nurses complain that they are not assigned, in spite of their application to active duty overseas. The Editor declares that, in the event of the gallant record made by the colored nurses in France, this plea to have nurses of their own is a reasonable one, and the offer of these patriotic women should be accepted. Editor then draws the color line in the conclusion selected for the text, "It is not a time to draw the color line in the service of the nation." The first thing to which we invite your attention is the shameful fact that the color line is being drawn on the trains carrying white and colored laborers to and from the United States government camps at Edgewood and Aberdeen. The colored laborers are strictly restricted to the five rear coaches, while the whites ride in the renaming coaches of the train. When colored laborer happens to be moving through such order as, "get out of here nigger," and "put that nigger out of here," are made by some of the white men. When a white man happens to pass through the coach and is moved such order as, "make that white man get out of this car," or "knock him out," are made by some colored men. Often-times when the white coaches are crowded white laborers come in and laborers and ride with them in spite or the protests of the colored laborers. Never, however, does a colored laborer ride in a car assigned to the white men yet there are people who preach the colored people would like to force the whites to associate with them. The next thing to which we wish to invite your attention is the fact that this recent segregation of Negroes in cars by themselves is not a measure of the Pennsylvania Railroad, nor is it a measure of the United States Government. The railroad officials have repeatedly told the colored laborers that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has no law to segregate the Negroes into cars by themselves, and as for the States Government, they have decided based on racial distinctions. Therefore this segregation of the colored laborers must be due to local white prejudice against the Negro, and since "it is not a time to draw the color line in the service of the nation, this segregation of the colored laborers by themselves should be retained." The third fact to watch we invite your attention is the fact that the recent segregation of the Negroes into race prejudice between white laborers on one side and colored laborers on the other side. Orientness. Orientness. Orientness. by side doing the same kind of work and laughing and talking as warm friends. Presently a white man carrying water comes along. He gives water to the white laborer, but refuses to give water to the colored laborer. The colored water carrier must make a similar distinction in favor of the white laborer and against the white laborer. Before the colored laborers were segregated on the trains, the colored laborers freely contributed to the Red Cross fund and to the purchase of Liberty Bonds. Now colored laborers give little to the Red Cross fund. They say that if the whites around Baltimore are mean enough to Jim crow them on the train, mean enough to Jim crow the black contribution to the Red Cross fund and instead of spending it for the benefit of the Soldiers they are most likely to use it as pocket change in the purchase of tobacco, beer and liquor for themselves. The Red Cross solicitors for funds are not as successful as securing contributions as were before we were segregated on the cars. The next fact to which we wish to invite your attention is that it is as much the duty of all true American Patriots to conserve patriotism during the war as it is to conserve fuel and food. These whites who segregated the colored laborers on the front lines works at Magnolia, Edgewood and Aberdeen, are not conserving the patriotism of the Negro when the Negro sees men of all other Nationalities and races riding with the whites on the laboring trains while his race only is segregated. Are Negro laborers on our Government works worse than the of all, the other nations, and races? Perhaps the answer to this question will be that the colored men were segregated from the whites because of their bad conduct. The law, are segregated from the whites because would be an easy matter for the Soldiers to quell all rude, boisterous conduct on the part of the bad colored laborers. Besides, the law abiding element of the colored laborers would be segregated from the whites by authorized authorities in enforcing order among the colored rowdies, if requested to do so. Therefore it seems that the colored laborers were segregated on the trains because of their color and race, although, "it is not a time for the police line in the service of the nation." The next thing to which we wish to invite your attention is the fact that "drawing the color line in the service of the nation" injures our entire country by causing national courtship, although for the sake of National courtesy they may write little about the matter, just as neighbors in their hearts despise a fellow citizen, who misreats some of his family. Although they may outwardly respect the citizen when they are in his presence, then there is another fact to which we call your attention, "drawing the color line in the service of the nation," leads the colored people to do something. Soldiers on the battle field for their bravery and gallantry. Some colored people are wondering whether they are included in the "Universal Democracy," for which we all are work- ing, saving, fighting and killing. The last thing to which we invite your attention is that those white men in the service in drawing the color of their enemies to the Negro, but they are as much enemies to the United States Government as are the hyphenated Germans of this country. We believe that such men are secretly aiming to pursue within the Negro that towards our Country that such evil designs should be discovered, exposed and halted. Finally we call your attention to the fact, that "In view of the gallant record being made by the colored troops in France, it is no time to draw the color line in the service of the nation." SOME COLORED LABORERS U. S. Günpowder Reservation, Magnolia, Md. O AUEN LETTER TO THE PUB- LUG ON OUR Y. M. C. A. As colored people of Baltimore, we are at the point in the matter of our Y. M. C. A. building in course of erection which is being pushed to completion when it is necessary for us to give the institution our most serious consideration to prevent a dishonorable blot to be made on our record as Christian people and citizens of Baltimore; and as I have given careful attention to the work of the Association and its efforts to give our city the beautiful building in course of erection, I am constrained to call attention to what seems to be a crisis in the work. According to agreement the building was begun in the fall of 1917 with the understanding Mr. Rosenwald of Chicago, Ill. would give $25,000 and the white people of Baltimore in association with Y. M. C. A. work would give $50,000, providing the colored people of Baltimoreive $25,000. Mr. Rosenwald and the white people in association with their Y. M. C. A. gave the $50,000 they promised. Colored people as a result of a house to house campaign pledged $33,000 of which $15,000 was pledged and the managers of our branch of Y. M. C. A. are sure that the pledges would be paid enough to make up our quota of $25,000, a builder was contracted with to begin the work and that he would be paid when the building was completed. Since the work began, if I am correctly informed, about $3,000 have been collected leaving a balance not collected of $7,000 and it seems that the non-collection of this $7,000 precipitates a chronic condition much to our dis-credit as colored people of Baltimore and unless it is raised and paid over will lower us in the estimation of Mr. Rosenwald and the white people who have so liberally and generously given their quote of the $100,000 to erect and complete the building. As colored people we have the money and can pay it if we will. No city in the United States needs a building more than Baltimore and it is the desire of the managers of our Y. M. C. A. to dedicate the building free of debt, persons of our race who pledge and have not paid should pay it once and others who have not pledged or contributed can do their part by giving to meet our emergency crisis. I am sure my jledge of $50 and am ready to give more and therefore feel at liberty to call attention to the matter thus public letter. The churches are being asked to give which they should do, as liberally as possible and yet the emergency demand requires all the people to give. The time has come when the secret orders of Baltimore city can help to raise the $7,000. The fraternal orders have a record for helping the churches and they can enlarge their record by helping to meet this emergency money and have a chapter in the history of our Y. M. C. A. which, they can appreciate and which will contribute to the up-lift of our people. Mr. S. S. Booker, the energetic, hard working secretary and his board of directors have done splendid work and as they have the building so near completed and desire to dedicate it free of debt, now is the opportunity for us one and all to join in and help them and help ourselves. AN OKLAHOMA ILLUSTRATION By William Pickens "There is a God in history," said a great historian, as he stood upon the height of modern times and contemplated the workings of Providence in the career of Rome. This same Providence often causes prejudice and menness to defeat itself. All the world sees that now in the mad course of the German. I was shown an illustration of it even in Oklahoma. Some years ago our government divided the land among the Indians and "natives." Some Negroes belonged to these Indian tribes, having been held as slaves, and were to receive their portions of land just as did the Indians. Now, the agents whom the government sent out to divide these lands, favored the Indian above the Negro. The ordinary white man has always preferred the Indian to the Negro. I suppose it is because the Indian for 400 years cid all in his power to scalp the white man, while the Negro for 250 years did all in his power to make the white man rich. At any rate these agents gave the Indians the fine fertile fruitful valleys, and allotted to the Negro "natives" the poor, barren lands in Eastern Oklahoma. But in after years it was discovered that the lands allotted to the Negroes were literally full of oil. Black people bogan to draw_unhoard of dividends. I saw, in Langston University, a tall black, strong girl, with the best features of Africa in her face and figures who is drawing one thousand dollars. And that was given to her mother to stare at, best thing about it is, that this girl's father has brains enough to look after their own affairs, so that the friendly (?) agents could not get in as "guardians" for these people. I always have believed that Providence has a fine sense of humor. FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1918. GAINES—In memory of our one Ethel, who departed this life July 20, 1917.

For ethers who do not know the truth and are surrendering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of flesh. Our own physician Dr. Mace attended me for some time, and said I had tuberculosis. I was sent to the Johns Hopkins, and I ended up on ed me on Bayview, and wanted to see Bayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as anywhere else. I went down until I weighed only 96 lbs. Someone told me to try Dr. Campbell, the Lung Specialist, 1369 N. Carey Street, Baltimore, MD as he was the best of the group. I went to Bayview with my sister, weighing less than 96 lbs. He examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Base Treatment, and I started to change for the better immediately. Thank God am living, and on November 14th I weighed at 149 lbs. No longer will believe now that I ever was sick in my life.

The best known remyde for Heavy and Beautiful Black Eye-Brows -Margaret Black's Corner- FRIDAY. JULY 19, 1918 Making jelly seems to be a bug-a-about some people. No matter how try they fall of the desired result, Jelly making takes time. Do it in a hurry. Take time to do right and you will be pleased with result. First of all a beginner cannot try to make jelly of fruits it do not jell easily without the addition of some other fruit. Peaches, orders, elderberries, cherries and berries do not jell easily and should be avoided by the beginner, grapes, grapes, plums, currants, stick-berries and goose-berries andinkle-berries are jelly very verry. Crab apples are the easiest of fruits it make into jelly. Sometimes we will make a mistake and cook jelly too long and the result is too tight to spread easily. It is easy to remedy this and the best way to use it is to mix it with peach or some other kind of butter that have on hand. Put a glass of the jelly and a glass of the peach butter—if you have it—in a bowl and stir them until smooth and it is ready to put in a glass dish the table. Unless you tell what have done no one will ever know a difference. If the jelly is a little so much the better, as it will require the insplid uste of the butter. If the jelly refuses to get thick do worry as it can be put into glasses used for hot cakes instead of cups. These syrups are used to insplid uste of the butter, so do be discouraged if your apples are too stiff or not stiff at all, think of the number of things you can do with them. Peaches, orders and fruits that will not make jellys are excellent for fruit jars that can be used for flavoring puddings, creams and with the use apples or currant juice can be made lovely jellys also. remember that fruit too ripe will make, good jelly. CRABBLE JELLY put juicy crabapples into quarters put over the fire in a granite or oranium preserving kettle. Cover with two inches deep with water; grow slowly to a boil and stew for eight hours, or until broken all to sizes, take from the fire and mash colly. Strain and press without seizing, thus a jelly bag, and strain again without squeezing, return juice to the fire and bring to a let it boil about ten minutes and the skim off that arises to the Pour in the sugar and boil malt regions to "jell". Skimming off the milk as it rises to the surface. Test occasionally by pouring a milful upon a cool saucer, as soon it forms a thick coating on top, or about the edge of the kettle it is, and should be removed from the Pour at once into jelly glasses, when cold pour parchment over the put on tops and set away. Jelly away in this manner will keep indefinitely. making jelly allow a pint of sugar each pint of juice. In nearly alludes you must have as much of thicknesses or an old win- ption; for them allow two thirds pint of sugar to a pint of juice. GIAPE JELLY fash your granes and mash them in a potato masher. Set over a fire without water. Cover close and cook for one hour or until the o is very soft. Hub thru a colatain then squeeze thru a damnal bag. Measure the juice and to each of juice allow a pint of sugar, salt, and boll. Cook twenty minutes, add sugar, boll for ten minutes and into jelly glasses.

MATO CUCUMBER FLOATS artistic dish is prepared by cut- ured green cucumbers length- loping out the centers and fill- wn with chopped tomatoes. with French or mayonnaise Canning In canning pears and peaches this year use only thin syrup it is healthier than preserves. To make thin syrup for them use one third sugar to two thirds water. Add the sugar gradually to the boiling water stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sugar is thorny dissolved. If the sugar is added gradually there will not be a white skim form over the top of the syrup. To keep it hot put in a double boiler what you do not want to use immediately and it will not decrease in quantity. In canning plums and quinces make your syrup of one half sugar as they are so sour they require more sugar for canning than either peaches or pears. Fruits canned in this way will not require sugar when opened for table use as they will be found sweet enough. A dark closet is a splendid place for storing your canned and preserved fruits and jellies also for your canned vegetables as they will not need to be wrapped in paper, nor will your green vegetables bleach. If you do not have such a place then be sure that your pantry shelves containing your canning and preserving is made dark and kept dark by the use of a curtain made of black canning bags. According to the Dewdow blind it takes a curtain at a window will exclude the light. Fruit and vegetables put up properly is often spoiled because of too much light, fear in mind that you must have a dry cool dark place to keep fruit properly, also vegetables. CANNED PHIBARR Cut the rhubarb into inch lengths, and pack in clean sterilized jars as tight as possible. Set the jar under the cold water spigot and let the water run in until the jar is full and contains no air bubbles. Have the clean sterilized tops handy and put on and seal while the water is running which excludes all air. Rhubarb put up this way will keep for months and will make pies that taste like fresh rhubarb pies. I never cook rhubarb that I can for pies. It is a waste of time and sugar, as it does not taste so well as the uncooled. The Bakers' Weekly makes the following suggestions to avoid "rope" in bread: First. Make your doughs slightly acid. This can be done by using a commercial acid, several varieties of which are on the market today, or by the use of a small quantity of vinegar in the doughs—about 1 pint for every 10 pounds of flour and substitutes used. Buttermilk in either fresh, condensed, or powdered form is recommended on account of its lactic acid content and its healthfulness—convenient much, additional nourishment. Fresh buttermilk should be used. 2 quarts to each pull of 12 quarts; condensed buttermilk 3 ounces to each quart of water; powdered buttermilk 1 ounce to each quart of water. Second. Use a short-sponge method wherever possible, putting no cereal substitutes into the sponge; but reserving them to be placed in the dough; and the dough, after the sponge is ready, should be worked up as quickly as possible and gotten out of the way, so that the substitute cereals will not remain in the dough any too long. Third. More yeast is necessary to handle doughs in a shorter time; and, as the mixture of flour and substitutes contains 25 per cent less gluten than formerly, 25 per cent more yeast should be used, because the longer these substitutes lie in the dough the more chance there is for developing rope. More yeast and a cool dough, by all means, are advisable. Fourth. Wash your benches, troughs, and boxes with a strong vinegar once a week; keep your shop well dried, and leave some limewater in open vessels in your flour room or near your flour and cereal supply. Fifth. Should a case of rope occur, or any trouble which you have never seen before, get in touch immediately with the Food Administration or with the National Service Committee, so that you will get immediate assistance and advice. RAISIN FILLING One half cup of stoned chopped raisins and one half cup sugar put on to boil with just enough water so it will not burn. When melted and bolling up all around add the white of one egg beaten stiff and one half teacup of cream of turtle. Cook over hot water five minutes. Fine for filling pies or cakes.

SOCKS FOR THE BABY SOCKS Usually the fingers and hands of elbow length silk gloves wear out the arms are as good as new. These may be used to make socks for the baby. Place one of the socks on a glove, having the leg part of the sock and the hemmed end of the glove together. Then cut the socks after the pattern, and sow carefully into shape the flat seams. Reinforce the top to withstand the wear and tear caused by garters and safety pins. NOER DIAMOND RING To clean your diamond ring without sending it away to the jewelers, put some alcohol in a glass and put ring in; let stand for about ten or fifteen minutes, then take tooth-brush and clean under the stone. See how it works. This was told me by a jeweler and will not hurt the stone. I WASHING EGGS A BAD PRACTICE Procrers receiving eggs they expect to keep on hand any length of time should not wash them, even if they are dirty. The dirt is wholly on the outside, and only affects the appearance of the egg. The shell of an egg contains a gelatinous substance which prevents air and germs from entering the eggs. Washing destroys this substance. Many customers will not buy soiled eggs, but it is desirable that the grocer should explain these facts to his patrons. The public has been trained to demand and buy clean eggs. Should be remembered to that, eggs, while not pleasing to the eye, are of better quality, according to Hte Department of Agriculture, more than five million eggs spoil unnecessarily in cold storage every year because they have been washed or have in some way become wet before being sent to market. 1 Glycerine Recovery From Garbage Stops Sale of Household Incinerators In sympathy with the campaign of the Food Administration to make big savings of glycerine for the manufacture of munitions and soaps and other valuable war ingredients from garbage, the Detroit City Gas Co. has discontinued the sale of household incinerators until after the war. The response of the City Gas Co. to the Administration that it is urging a campaign of garbage utilization in order to recycle ingredients which are necessary to war industry.

J.W.ALLEN Tonsorialist Dermatologis Ladies' Dept. 2nd Floor Ele tric GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many co-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. Sobey'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 length of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an export 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 Quinasap. Quinasap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasap inners very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unaqualified by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstreet or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinadde, mentioning the name of this paper. Adv Try my Hair Grower and Straightner 25c. per Box.
