Nither Could Their Own Colonel Stop Them--Knights of Columbus Doing Big Work Among Soldiers. BY JOSHIF I. CANAVAN. Unofficial reports filtering back on the fighting front in France are added the final touch of amplification, on the phrase contained in a official statement when the service by American forces, eight and two weeks ago, and honored that "black Americans" all honored their way gloriously across the Run Janes. It was not, though, until the battle was over, according to the unofficial opinion of the same fighting, that the elite commander summoned the colonel of a Negro regiment before him and demanded to know in tense military fashion, why that colonel did not maintained better control over his troops, and why, above everything else, he had not "stopped" his men and kept them from passing behind their appointed objectives, and, in fact, hacking their way through head of their protective barrage, "Stop them!" queried the colonel, Stop them? Hell, man, how could you expect me to stop them, when the whole German Army couldn't do the. The bigtime commander's reply is of course, either officially or unofficially but the story, is only one of thousand that is being told of the American who compose the Negro units of the expeditionary force and which every day are out there in the thick of the fighting and holding their place in the line wherever they may be called upon to do their military bit. WELFARE WORK BY KNIGHTS In just the same manner, the men who compose those regiments are par-taking of the carefully built up welf-ward war that is being accomplished on the sides of the water by the Rights of Columbus Committee on Air Activities. In fact, they are re-vising special attention, both in the corps in this country and K. of C. in France, and the work among Negro troops is being broadened rapidly as the numbers of the Negro troops grow. Under the system as it now has been worked out, the Negro soldier needs no other commission than his狄弘 uniform, to gain for him every kind of advantage offered by the Negro's service. True, there are places, both in this country and abroad, where the Knights of Columns have erected special huts for the use of the Negro soldiers. But where that has been done, it has been at the express request of Negro soldiers themselves, who in numerous instances have expressed a preference for a building of their own, where they may enjoy their own pleasures in their own way, and be assured of meeting their own friends when and ormann, Westedt, Barber and Macchetti New Sergeants. scol training.

Bruce Smith, and Frank Wynn (Atlanta) are instructors in carpentry, Sergeants Morman, Wescott and Macbeth of Baltimore are putting the new men right into the tasks, mechanical and military, that lay before them. New carpenters are being built and it is planned that the detachment run until sometime next year, turning out special trained men as the needs of the delivery demand. Indeed the extent and character of this training, under the supervision of the Comm. or Education and Special Training, is hardly being realized, so why does it move. It presents unintended opportunities for all those who are ready. There boys excite to make good as there is nothing more remarkable cooperation, among the commanders, servants and men.

BUILDINGS FOR NEGROES Such an arrangement has been granted by the K. of C. upon request of the Negro on themselves at Camp Meade at Administ. Md., where one of the K. of C. huts, which are looked after by 11 secretaries, has been set aside for Negro troops. The same action, again upon request of the Negro on builders, has been taken at Camp Dodge, at Des Moines, in where one of the three K. of C. buildings has been set aside for their exclusive use. At Camp Dodge, however, there a 12 secretaries, the services of everyone of them being always at the call of any trooper who requests them. The same rule applies at Camp Funston, at Fort Ailey, Kansas, where one of the three buildings of the K. of C. has been given to the Negroes, and there is a building for the Negro groups also at Camp Taylor, Louisville, KY, where the Knights have four tents. As the work expands and as the number of Negro troops has been enlarged, the facilities for catering to their wants have been correspondingly increased in keeping with the recently adopted slogan of the organization "Everybody Welcome—Everything Free." The baseball, tennis equipments, shower baths, books, candy, cigarettes and all the other things which lte Knights have been distributing to the soldiers around the transport and in the cars, rest billets and front line trenches in France have gone in equal proportion to the Negro troops under the organization's rule that the war service of the Knights shall be conducted without regard to race, color, religion or any other factor except that the recipient of it be a member either of the military or naval forces of the United States. The other day, when there were six Negro soldiers entraining at Port Jervis, N. X. on their way to Goshen, N. X. from where they were to start upon their journey to a training camp, it was a group of Knights of Columbus secretaries who met them and supplied them with cigarettes and tobacco. It happened, however, that the six Negro draft men did not take a train from Port Jervis. Instead, the Knights loured them into automobiles and drove them across the pretty hilly country to their point of departure for the camps. There were only six men in that draft consignment, but the Knights services would have been as hearty and as general if the number had been 600. And there have been innumerable instances where that larger number of men have been cared for and had their wants provided by the Knights, as the men themselves have testified.

The 19th Biennial session of the Movable Committee of the Grand United Order of God Fellows in America met here today with Perry W. Howard of Miss., presiding. There were $22 delegates present representing the lodges in the following states: West Virginia, Delaware, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York, Tennessee, New Jersey and Georgia. There was much interesting discussion on the following legislation that came before the meeting: The incorporation of the G. U. O. O. F., in the District of Columbia under the laws of Congress. A heated discussion on the discontinuance of the Odd Fellows Journal was finally referred to the S. C. of M. with the recommendation that the same be abolished. Alphitrite resolution depicting the wonderful history of the Blake Soldiers and "ploding our last drop of blood and our last drop to our Country" included also the special direction to the Sub-Committee of Management "to make sale of the $8,000 of certificates of indebtedness owned by the Order and to add a sufficient amount to net a sum of $15,000 and invest the same in The Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds." The invitation of the city of Wilmington, Del., won over Chicago as the next place of meeting in 1970. After the election of officers the Committee on Credentials reported the entire delegation from the State of Georgia as regular and acceded representatives and a beautiful demonstration by the B. M. C., was then witnessed which included a call for a speech by the Hon. BenJ. J. Davis who was escorted to the platform by a special committee and a tremendous applause and a wonderfully enthusiastic ovation. The election resulted as follows: Grand Master, John S.

With the American Army in France, August 31.—Since August 21 the Colored division of troops, both the 92nd and 93rd, have shoved forward on the enemy's line by 12,000 yards, and continue to advance daily. To a fact that America's Black Devils areounding the death knell of trench warfare, The Colored troops are forcing open fighting upon the enemy's failure of t h German drive in July. The Huns seem to be great inferior at the style of, fighting that these Black Americans put in. The Germans had been used to fighting a while and resting while, but with the Colored troops there has been no resting but continued fighting with the fierceness of tigers. Early today one division of Colored troops advanced 600 yards without a single loss. It is a noticeable fact that the Germans fear the American Black troops because of the fierce manner in which they combat the enemy with their bayonets, shouting and singing as they charge on the fleeing enemy. When they began their attack on the towns of Sandemont and Recourt they ran the Huns BY JESSE L. NICHOLS New York, N. Y., September 10— The Grand United Order of Old Felix- bets at its nineteenth biennial meet- ing, which convened in Old Felix- bets Temple, Fifth avenue and 132d street yesterday, made quick work of its business and adjourned after electing officers and passing resolutions pledging the support of its 500,000 members beyond the country to the to- mor's war program against Gern- ury. More than 5,000 members of the Order are now in the military and naval forces of the United States. The business of the organization was speeded up to adjournment in order that the delegates might return to their homes in various parts of the country to do their bit as war workers and in time to register on the 12th instant. All of the grand officers were relegated and will serve until the next biennial meeting, which the delegates voted to hold in this city in September 1920. No so called delegates from Georgia presented themselves for admission to the Convention although it was garnered that a few men purport- ign to be delegates from Georgia were in the city of New York at the time. Delegates from the following states were in attendance: New York, Virginia, New Jersey, North Carolina, District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Alabama, and others. The National grand officers are: Edward H. Morris, Chicago, grand master; Dr. I. L. Roberts, Boston, Massa, deputy grand master; James F. Needham, Philadelphia, Pa., grand secretary; W.

LIBERIA GETS FIVE MILLION Dr. Ernest Lyon, the energetic consul-general of Liberia to the United States has succeeded in procuring a loan of $5,000,000 for the little West African republic. Liberia will use the money to carry on the war with Germany. FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN BEGINS SEPTEMBER 26th. Get ready now for the Drive. from their trenches and kept them on the run until they captured both towns and several villages on the other side of Recourt. It was then that a command was given them to halt or retire to receive rations and rest, but not a man obeyed the command until they had driven the enemy out of sight. Monday, August 26th both Coloree divisions almost completely destroyed German Reserve troops who had been sent into the enemy's line to drive back those Black Americans in their attack on the town of Bertincourt, but the town was soon taken by the Negro troops capturing 800 Hun prisoners. "What we're aiming to do," said a sprightly young Colored officer, "is to push our way right on into Berlin without stoppin', as we promised the folks at home we'd do, and we don't aim to be long at it, either," he continued as he leaped from the first line trenches to join his comrades in the thickest of the fray just as they were getting ready to make another savage attack on the enemy, and from the way they were going at it, it won't be long before they will enter Berlin. In Louisville, Kentucky, both colored and white men gave up their street cleaning jobs even after the daily wages was raised from $1.50 to $2. One hundred colored women are now employed at the same wages men were given. Twenty-nine employees of the Ocean View Hotel of Norfolk walked out when the new cracker manager forbade them using a part of the beach for bathing in on hours. Rosecoe Conflin Simmons spoke two hours and a half to $800 people in Youngtown, Ohio, recently. He said in part: "Chairman and fellow citizens: I greet you. I am proud of my country, proud of my race, proud of my religion and proud of the American white man. The white man of America built the greatest civilization ever known, but it was standing on my shoulders." Unofficial reports claim that the North Cavalry has been sent from the Philippines to take part in the campaign in Russia. Ellis Porter of Evansville, Indiana, is in the hands of the U. S. officers, charged with fraudulent enlistment. He served for three years as a member of white company of regular troops and acted as one of them without detection. When a Jacksonville, Florida, family bired a white undertaker, colored chauffeurs refused to run the autobacks. They suggested an all white funeral and went home. Tenth Carvalrymen repudiated the Mexicans in the border clash recently. 30 Americans and 150 Mexicans were in the casualty list. Dr. Joseph L. Johnson of Columbus, Ohio, who was at one time a special examiner in the Pension Office, a special agent in the police department in Washington has been appointed by the President as minister to Liberia, to take the place of Minister Cortes, deceased. Dr. George Haynes, colored assistant to the Secretary of Labor, is coming in for criticism because the department advertised for 250 watchmen at $75 per month. WHITE MEN ONLY. Nick Chiles of the Topoka, Kansas, Phlaededer, wrote a hot funeral sermon on the late Pen Tillman, scoring him as the worst enemy of the Negro, and sent 500 papers to leading whites in South Carolina. These friends of Tillman have asked to have the paper excluded from the mails hereafter. Many col red West Indians from this country have gone to Fort Edward Windsor in Nova Scotia to join the colors. Many are entering the Canadian army, but the most of them join the B. E. F. A New Jersey white man threatened a colored man with a pistol. Disarming the white man, who was a blacksmith, Lee Henry of Kentucky, slashed his throat from ear to ear, calmly watched him die, and then surrendered to the police. Witnesses say Henry was justifiable. Jack Thompson of Toms River, N. J. might have passed the examination for entering the army, but he had an exhibition boxing match with Langford in Philadelphia before he reported at Camp Dix. Now he has a bursed car drum, and is disqualified for the service. Sergeant George Riley of the 5th Depot Brigade loaned his best uniform to a fellow who wanted to shine before his best girl. When this bunkie was transferred to another camp the uniform went too. Now Riley only has his old duds. When with Buffalo Bill's Circus, Riley had the honor or dishonor of shaking hands with the Kaiser. State Fair Next Week. The colored section of the Maryland Council of Defense, through its chairman, Dr. Lyons, of Baltimore, assisted by James F. Stewart, of Salisbury, has made arrangements for the big Statewide Colored Industrial Fair to be held in Salisbury at the Wicomico County Fair grounds September 16 to 22nd inclusive. The Fair is for the purpose of arousing the further patriotic spirit of the colored citizens of the State, and for the purpose of encouraging what the colored citizens are able to do in the industrial work, and to note the educational advancement of the race. During the Fair all the most prominent colored men of Maryland and some from other states will be there to assist in the program, and Governor Harrison has also promised to be present one day to deliver an address on patriotic subjects, and the necessity for more industrial activity among the race. OLD 1ST SEPARATE COMPANY LAD GETS CROIX DE CUERRI Sergeant Robert Terry Receives Coveted French Honor--Interesting Letters From Our Own Baltimore Boys By Mall Somewhere on the French front, facing the boches, members of Baltimore's Best, the old First Separate Company, are lying low in their dogouts, while the shells of the enemy screech overhead. But action not in action is their forte, and when the command came recently to go over the top and get the crevices, who had been dousing them with steels, they did it in genuine style. They put up a box burrage, just as they were leaving the crevices, in the effort to drive them back, but that cut no figure. Straight then the fire they went, with the result that Sergent Robert Terry was awarded the French war cross for bravery in action. CINCKNEY MAY GET CROSS The letter telling of these exploits came from Chief Gunner Rufus Pinckney also a member of the old First Separate Company. A later letter from the same source, dated August 18, and enclosed in a blue envelope—the kind that are given for good behavior, and pass through the paths without being censored—states that the Baltimore boys had seen further action. The letter runs, "I wish you could see how the black boys are holding the line. No man's land will soon be a thing of the past. WE DON'T ONLY MEAN TO CROSS IT TO TAKE IT WITH US. I beware now that I will be one of the boys to receive the Croix de Guerre too since I last wrote to you. I am proud to say we have brought home more bears." "Tell the home folks to be of good cheer. We are holding the fort until Old Glory files from the tallest flag pole in Berlin. Germany must come our way now, and take what she gets." "Please ask our people to send us something to read while we are in the rest camps." "Say if the boys come home and get in bed with their clothes and shoes an, don't scold us. I am afraid if we could get in a real bed, we would get bed rheumatism." LIKE ENGINE HORSES An earlier letter from Chief Gunner Pinckney says: Dear Editor, From somewhere in France I am dropping you this letter from one of the old First Separate boys. Of course we have our new name now the 372nd. You all back there can't get all the good news, but we are keeping the Hun's feet close to the fire. We get everything we go after. The boys are like fire engin horses when the alarm goes in, you can't hold them. Old Glory is moving in the direction of Berlin. Shot and shell don't seem to have any effect on the boys. They face the battle with the same smile they put on when the mess call goes in. The French people treat us fine. The whole town looks on when we march thru. We would like a letter now and then from our friends. THE SEUGEANTS DREAM When I Get Back Home Get out my English "pinch back" And have them all pressed up. Where are my ties and collars I believe I've most forgot. Please bake me home-made cake And pork chops good and brown. If you don't really mind it. Could you put some gravy around? Will I have some Cocoa? Yes, thanks, and some chocolate too. I might even try a little Of your good oil sparse-rib stew What's that about peach ice cream? A'thad none since I've been gone. Tell whisper wants to see me That I'll be there bye and bye Just now I'd rather have a piece Of home made apple pie. TERRY GETS CROIX DE GUERRE First Separate Company Boy Honored. -Sergeant Robert Terry, of the old First Separate Company, this city, and Sergent Charles Hughes of the First Separate Battalion, of Washington have been presented the French Croix de Guerre for bravery in action, according to a letter received from France at this office. The letter from Chief Gunner, Rufus Pinckney, also one of our Baltimore boys, tells of a big raid in which these men went ahead in spit a terrible barrage fire from the enemy. Over the top, they went, and it was due to their coolness under fire that all objectives were gained. The French called it the biggest piece of darling they had ever seen. Private Charles A. Smith, now with the American Expeditionary Forces in France is anxious to get in touch with some of his classmates, who were in the high school, class of 1914. He is especially anxious to know whether Harry M. Smith is still at 1523 Barclay street. His only wish, he says, is for a letter from home. Sergeant Laurence Jenkins, another of the First Separate Company now in the 372 Infantry says his regiment is brigaded with the best French fighting troops, and they are getting along splendidly. He says the 372nd is considered the best trained regiment in France, and that four Northwest Baltimore boys under command of Sergeant Walter O. Bannon of the old 9th Ohio Battalion constitute the fastest French Mortar队 in the army. LIEUTENANT CASSELL WINS HIGH HON Is Among First Artillery Officers of Color to Receive Commission Former first Sergeant Irwin Cassell, whose wife lives at 3022 Bardsey St. graduated from the recent training camp at Chelsea, Kentucky, as a second lieutenant of Artillery. Leu- ment Cassell is a former Cornell student and would have received his degree this year. He spent seven days furlough in this city. Allogather there were nearly 2500 graduates in Artillery from the camp, and thirty-three were colored. It is reported that six of the honou students were colored and only four white. Lt. Cassell stood second among these 2500 graduates. Colored men were also third and fourth. The school opened July 1st and closed August 31. The graduation exercises were simple, only the commanding colonel speaking. Five men from each battery came forward to receive their diplomas, and the white sections led the cheering when representatives of the colored battery came forward. Fifty three men failed to get their commissions, because no colored officers were needed for the branch of war for which they are qualified. They may return to school and receive other instruction before getting their commissions. This is the first time in the history of the country that colored artillery officers have been certified for the service. At Cassell was at first ordered to a camp in California, but when it was found out that he was colored, he was transferred to Camp Jackson; South Carolina. Lorraine Is In Again; Slocking This Time Lorraine Wilson, chiropodist, whose office is in the Fidelity Building is in trouble again. He was arrested last Wednesday and turned over to the government authorities as a slacker. He admitted, it is said, that he failed to register in the first draft. Officials have been watching him for some time, and finally arrested him at his office. Several months ago, Mr. Wilson, who is very fair, and has a large amount of white trade, was forced to move his residence from the city suburbs, because his neighbors discovered that he was colored. SYKESVILLE Sykesville, Md., Sept. 12—Mrs. Lizzie Greenwood and grand daughter have returned home after spending several weeks with Mrs. Lotte Collins.

ARNOLD IN COLLISION Cars belonging to Dr. Oliver H. Arnold, dentist, whose office is at the corner of Penna. avenue and Dolphin street and Carl Schmidt, white, collided at the corner of Division and McMecken streets last Monday afternoon. Charles Freeman, who is employed at the Liberty Stables on Wilson street nearby and who happened to be crossing the street diagonally in the direction of the hospital, was knocked down and his leg broken in three places. At the traffic court Tuesday, witnesses for the doctor told conflicting stories, confused by the dummy board on which they were asked to outline the accident. It was deduced, however, from testimony that Dr. Arnold's car was going south on Division street, which Schmidt was going east on McMechen. The rear wheel of Schmidt's car on the left hand side, and Dr. Arnold's left fender and lights were considerably damaged by the impact. Schmidt's car was said to have been thrown to one side striking Freeman, while Dr. Arnold finally landed right side up beside the curb. The traffic judge was clearly baffled by the conflicting testimony of the parties, each of whom claimed to have been struck by the other. Dr. Arnold was finally fined $10 and costs and Schmidt released. The case has been appealed. Freeman was taken to the University Hospital. MARRIED First Sergeant James W. Johnson, of G.

X. to ten years' imprisonment at hard labor. STAFFORD HOTEL HAS WAITRESSES Two girl waiters were put on at the Stafford Hotel recently. They are engaged in what is called "room service." Trouble in getting help is given as the reason for the change, especially since hotel work is classed as non-essential. Some time ago the word took on coated waiters in white, and the new move for profitable further change. PERSONAL MENTION --- Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hopkins and Mrs. Laura Powers, of 334 N.

John W. N. M. E. Church unusual distinction of having a church in each of the county's points of this city, and more than $22,000 for it alone. charge is now Waters A. church. He has been there most. The first two months he was in 115.12 and the next two closes he raised $2675.05. He was during the week are spect- cial a total of $2099 for this month's rally. Grand total since. Norris took charge $4, $2.11.7. Waters members were so clad at the success, that they stood up and made the promise to make their next eight, a thousand dollar rally in order to cheer the church of debt completely. Dr. Morris is not a new hand in raising money for church buildings. In 1885 he was assigned to Trinity and raised $2,609 in his four years pasture. In 1902 he bought the present church building on the corner of Clinton and Carson streets for Allen Church and moved them out of the Stockton street church. The circumference cost $12,000. In the first five years of his stay at Ebenzer, Dr. Norris reduced the mortgage on that church by $10,000. Now he is at Waters raising money in the same way that has made him one of the most successful men in this line in the Conference. SUCCESSFUL RALLY The members of Caldwells A. M. E. Zion Church have just concluded a successful emergency rally. Pastor Edwards asked them for $100 to apply on a note about a month ago. Quickly and energetically they went to work and on last Sunday presented him $100.55. Edwards, as this instance proves, enjoys the confidence and * categorion of his members and though a long man, is filled with that energy to contribute ability necessary to execlate Caldwell from her financial circumstances and eventually place a structure there that will rebound to credit and memorialize the name of Bishop Caldwell.

King, s. street, who is Mrs. Field's Mrs. Arnett Murphy and daughters, May and Virginia, who have been spending a month in North Carolina visiting relatives, have returned home. to do with the fund raised to build sun parlor at Camp Meade? Some months ago local citizens responded to the call of the Council of Defense and raised by popular subscription more than $600 to build a sun parlor addition to the base hospital at Camp Meade. Since that time the change of commanding officers at Camp Meade brought opposition to the plan on the part of the government. The present commanding officer has invoked the rule that no improvements are allowed to government buildings. Dr. Ernest Lyon is chairman of the faction that owns the treasurer, and Dr W. H. Wenor, was financial agent. No question of the honesty and integrity of these men has been raised. They are Baltimore's best citizens. There is a fear however on the part of a number of the donors of the fund that the money will be used to finance the fair at Salisbury, Md., next week or put to some other purpose than that for which it was given. The argument is advanced that the Council to Defense should issue a notice to all the subscribers calling them to a general meeting. These subscribers should then decide, whether the money should be kept in bank, given to some other charity, or returned to the original subscribers. Fear is expressed that the Defense Council will consider themselves trustees of the fund with power to dispose of it as they see it, rather than simple agents of the subscribers, who are the real trustees. Defense officials were busy with plans for the fair, but Dr. Weaver admitted that the matter was under discussion. SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY Nearly eleven thousand boys and girls of the elementary, grammar, high and training schools of the city are expected to return to school next Monday after their eleven weeks vacation. School plants have been cleaned up and set in order so that everything will be ready to take care of the incoming pupils. Both children and teachers benefited by their long holiday and life is the open air are expected to begin work anew with increased enthusiasm. Teachers were made to adhere to the Lyric general assembly, where they were addressed by Dr. Charles Judd, white, of the University of Chicago. Friday there are to be sectional meetings of the teachers. Principals were directed to be at their several desks on yesterday (Wednesday) from 9 to 11, in order to issue transfers. Beside the work or registering new pupils and making up classes, a good deal of interest has been aroused in the sales of War Savings Stamps. Reports on the sales during the summer are expected during the first week. (1) Sell your property in any section of the city. (2) Sell you property cheaper than anybody else.

FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON The leaving of Franklin F. Johnson of the news staff of the Afro-American for war service at Camp Meade loses to this paper one of its oldest and most active news gatherers. Eighteen years ago when the "Afro" was a much smaller journal, in narrower quarters at 307 St. Paul street, Mr. Johnson began his work. He had recently graduated from the old Polytechnic Institute, and studied faithfully and successfully to get the "newspaper style" into his writing. Thousands of items from his pen have interested Afro-American readers over their Saturday morning coffee. Among Negro journalists he became widely known, and his ability was highly regarded. Local daily papers and the Associated Press printed his articles, when they printed them at all, exactly as he wrote them. Rarely were they able to improve his copy by changing a word or line. The New York Age and the Baltimore Lancet made flattering bids for his services, at one time, but he had become attached to his work here and was loath to give it up. Ill health is the reason that has caused Mr. Johnson to give up work in the city and take up a more open life at Camp Meade. It is with genuine regret that the change will be noted by his co-workers at the office, and the hosts of readers of the Afro-American. SOCIALISTS INSERT NEGRO PLANK. The Socialist Party—the party taken sufficient cognizance of the try to insert a plank in its congress. Not only this, but the arthu the socialist press, that on t dates for Congress will be run th Specialist Party—the party of the masses—dient cognizance of the colored people in it a plank in its congressional platform in it only this, but the announcement has blicist press, that on this inclusive platform congress will be run this fall. The Socialist Party—the party of the masses—has at last taken sufficient cognizance of the colored people in the country to insert a plank in its congressional platform in their interest. Not only this, but the announcement has been made thru the socialist press, that on this inclusive platform, candidates for Congress will be run this fall. Here is the complete plank: "The Negroes are the most the American population, on ninth. They are the victims of hanging and burning; wider chisement and loss of civil rights discriminated against in "We therefore demand: "1. That the Negroes of citizenship, political, education "2. That Congress share of the 14th Amendment by nation in Congress of such state spirit of the amendment." It does seem that the Social time before making use of this pro explanation should accompany the other hand, it is as plain as votes bad enough to make over them. As a party of the masses bar as opposed to capital, standing rather than be business, and in part by all the people rather the wealthy, it is bound to seem strange that just it is time the So that their interest and our interest. There is no doubt about it, be done. We admit, as the office Open Eye suggests, "99 per cent who have lost faith in the Nation reason is that Republicans feel the Republican ticket anyway, and so consideration. We go further by said had any faith in the Democratic the lynch sentiment of the solid for a third party, wielding the best appeal for the colored vote. Atters are going to ask, "Do you want us?" Socialists have got to Even tho the efforts of the fined to the Northern cities as suggests to the Socialist Convention months ago, no stampede of color be looked for. The exodus has b sons from the south to the north, ern colored folk have had sufficient not in campaign planks They have got to be shown. In showing, they can get the votes of them quick. The Negroes are the most oppressed portion of American population, of which they form. They are the victims of lawlessness, including and burning; widespread political discontent and loss of civil rirghts. They are often discriminated against in economic opportunities. We therefore demand: 1. That the Negroes be accorded full citizenship, political, educational and industrial. That Congress shall enforce the provisions of the 14th Amendment by reducing the repressive Congress of such states as violate the letter of the amendment." It seems that the Socialist Party has wafted on making use of this plank, and that some should accompany this unusual unfold, and it is as plain as day that the Socialist enough to make overtures to colored voters in a party of the masses, interested in the need to capital, standing for government or business, and in general advocating with people rather than a government that is hard to seem strange to thinking constructively is time the Socialists should succeed in and our interests are common. It is no doubt about it, some explaining why we admit, as the official organ of the party, "99 per cent of the Negroes are most faith in the National Republican Party that Republicans feel that colored folk will ticket anyway, and so they deserve no spoon. We go further by saying that Negroes wish in the Democratic party, dominated a sentiment of the solid south. Now is a party, wielding the balance of power, to the colored vote. At the same time the thing to ask, "Do you want our vote to use Socialists have got to face this question who the effortrsts of the Socialist Party with Northern cities as suggested by the collec Socialist Convention held in New York, no stampede of colored folk to the poor. The exodus has brought large numbers the south to the north, but both northern and folk have had sufficient political exp in campaign planks and political promo- got to be shown. If the Socialists can they can get the votes of the colored people. "The Negroes are the most oppressed portion of the American population, of which they form one ninth. They are the victims of lawlessness, including hanging and burning; widespread political disfranchisement and loss of civil righs. They are especially discriminated against in economic opportunity. "We therefore demand: "1. That the Negroes be accorded full rights of citizenship, political, educational and industrial. "2. That Congress shall enforce the provisions of the 14th Amendment by reducing the representation in Congress of such states as violate the letter or spirit of the amendment." It does seem that the Socialist Party has waited a long time before making use of this plank, and that some word of explanation should accompany this unusual unfoldment. On the other hand, it is as plain as day that the Socialists want votes bad enough to make overtures to colored voters to get them. As a party of the masses, interested in the side of labor as opposed to capital, standing for government ownership rather than by business, and in general advocating a government by all the people rather than a government by the few wealthy, it is hard to seem strange to thinking colored people that just a time the Socialists should suddenly see that their interest and our interests are common. There is no ubt about it, some explaining will have to be done. We admit, as the official organ of the New York Open Eye suggests, "99 per cent of the Negroes are workers, who have lost faith in the National Republican Party." The reason is that Republicans feel that colored folk will vote the Republican ticket anyway, and so they deserve no special consideration. We go further by saying that Negroes have never had any faith in the Democratic party, dominated as it is, by the lynch sentiment of the solid south. Now is a good time for a third party, wielding the balance of power, to make an appeal for the colored vote. At the same time the colored voters are going to ask, "Do you want our vote to use us or to help us?" Socialists have got to face this question squarely. Even tho the effortrs of the Socialist Party will be confined to the Northern cities as suggested by the colored delegates to the Socialist Convention held in New York several months ago, no stampede of colored folk to the party need be looked for. The exodus has brought large numbers of persons from the south to the north, but both northern and southern colored folk have had sufficient political experience to believe not in campaign planks and political promises alone. They have got to be shown. If the Socialists can do any showing, they can get the votes of the colored people and get them quick. SLOW AT THE PRIMARIES. In an unusually slow prima E.

Dallas and Houston are in the same state. It can well be seen that it took some kind of courage for the Dallas Express, to make the following comment on an article that appeared in a daily paper of the city. This is what the white daily said: This is what the warden said: "More than a hundred Negroes left the Union Station Friday night for training camp. All of the Negro soldiers were in high spirits and were accompanied to the station by their parents and other relatives.

MEASURE UP In view of the fact that there are so many new places being opened to the colored people, in which heretofore they have not been considered, it seems that a word of admonition would not be out of place. A large number of colored workers, in the past, have not been over careful as to being prompt and punctual in attendance on their work, many leaving on the slightest provocation and some for no provocation at all. The result of this has given them a name for being unreliable. We must redeem ourselves along this line, and earn a name for promptness and reliability. As to our standing in the future, it depends very largely upon the manner we conduct ourselves under present conditions, and in the many new fields now being opened to us. Of course, many of these new positions are not of the highest grade; but if we prove faithful in these lower grades, the higher ones will be opened to us, and to a much larger extent than we now have any idea. We urge, then, that in all these positions, that the very best efforts be put forth. Let the race measure up to the very highest stae of efficiency, and our future is assured.

THE FORUM Umble Seaman: When I come to the surgeon 'e says to me, "I'm blooming sorry, mire, I don't know what I was thinking about," he says, "but there's a sponge missin', and I believe it's inside yet." Dear Sir I am sending enclosed an article clipped from the Clarksville Telegram. I would like to have your opinion on the subject through the columns of your paper for there are many like myself would like to be enlightened on the subject. As you know Emancipation Day has never been declared a national holiday nor has any Governor of this state ever issued a proclamation recognizing the same. Therefore why should any one man confer with the Governor asking him to fix a date under the circumstances when it has been ignored in the past and even until this date. "What's the odds? I says, 'Let it be.' And there it is to this day. No, I don't feel no particular pain from it, but I do get most uncommonly thirsty." —Cassell's Saturday Journal.

Thanking you in advance, I am Youngster, going to bed: 'Mother do you spose there's any use in askin' God for a doll's tacet, or is he "consoniz", like everyone else?—Life Hon. John J. Cornwell, Governor Charleston, W. Va. Dear Governor: As you are aware, that the colored citizens have always celebrated the twenty-second day of September as a day of rejoicing and pleasure, and that on that day the greater number of them refrain from pursuing their daily vocation so that they can participate in the many festivals which are staged for their enjoyment. This day comes on Sunday. It has been our custom to use the pre- ceding or following day when such obitins, and this would cause the wheels of the various industries to stop for two days or more. This would be alright in ordinary times, but in this day when we are trying to conserve the man power of the nation to win the war would you not advise that Sunday be used—the twenty-second—instead of either Saturday, the twenty-first or Monday, twenty-third, for as much will be accomplished and better results obtained? Getting A Light A condemned sinner was vainly endearing to light his pipe. "Tell me," he said to Satan, "do you keep these fires of yours burning incessantly, without regard to the cost of fuel?" "Incessantly," was the sepulchral reply. "Well, I can't blame you. With the kind of matches we're getting, if you ever let the fires go out, the chances are you'll never get 'em started again." Must Not's As a minister, governor, I know that there is a sentiment in opposition to the use of the Sabbath day for anything else but for church and religious services, and although I concur with those who advocate its observance in the above mentioned manner, I must really confess that I am with those who at this time would use it for patriotic as well as for emancipation exercises. Would be glad to have your opinion on this matter and your endorsement to use Sunday as the day of the celebration, and us Monday to help win the war. CHERCHVILLE Chureville, Md. Sept. 12—Ivoc, N. O.

Aubrey Carpenter There was a time in history when a colored man didn't have the chance to write his name, or express his thoughts, but as time passed it was necessary to take the liberty in order to secure the rights as a free born American citizen. Before the war we asked for what we wanted, at present we demand it, but after the war we are going to take what we want. Times have changed and are still changing and will be forever changing in our favor. If opportunities were open ten years ago to show some physical strength as they were in Aberdeen Labor Day, the white folks would tremble in their shoes; if the colored soldiers "Over There" defeat the Germans on the battle field as two of our boys at Aberdeen defeated their opponents on the athletic field the war, would be over in a week. Just to think two boys, mostly Nathaniel Scott and Solomon Wing, both members of the Baltimore High School, outstripped seventy five of their white opponents in each of the three field events. The first was the 100 yd. dash with twenty-five runners, including Nat. Scott, the only colored of the entire number. On the stretch Scotty was in the rear, but gradually by degrees he gained, until finally at the home pull he was at least two feet in advance at the finish. All you could hear from the thousand spectators was "hurry for Scotty." After the race three of the best, out of the twenty-five were picked to the final and the rest were eliminated. Everybody picked Scotty for the winner. A minute rest and then the three in line ready to hear the start blow his whistle. Scotty was in the middle, best very low and as the gun went—hang—like a deer he darted through space winning the race with ease. The whole multitude cheered and several of his friends picked him up and crowned him with a paper crown. The second event was the running broad jump won by Solomon Wing. Among twenty-four white jumpers, he outstripped the best by a foot and a half and after the elimination his best jump was 16 ft. 6 in, while that of his opponent was 14 ft. 9 in. Being the only colored jumper, and the best of the whole bunch, very much the mark, but each fell by the way-side. The whites were now becoming indignant and put up tricks in defense, so in the last event, the potato race Scotty was twice tripped, but this was of little effect, although he did not win, he came third and his partner first. They did not intend to go in together, because it would make them work against each other, but each should enter at different time so as each would win first prize, but the manager of the M. C. A. saw through it and broke their plan. The distance for the race was about fifty yards, with four rows of potatoes each parallel. Wing took the first row and Scotty the third. The white opponents must have planned to upset Scotty; it was successfully carried out, but the results was a failure; because his partner Wing brought a bacon home, winning with a tremendous hurrow from the spectators. The crowd was so overjoyed, especially our boys, over the exercise, because they didn't seem an event of the battle at all with such liberty, that the Y. C. A. manager permitted a Battle Riot, with six colored and six white fighters. This game was a little dangerous because some were boxing scientific and others rough and tumble, until finally everything was a rough mix up. Many of the whites laid down to keep from being knocked down. There was one colored follow in the slot, that made his partner step aside. Sometimes as he swung around he get confused, and his partners mixed up, and several times punched them about the head. He called him "Blue" and once in a while you could hear his partners say, look out I'm your boy, why don't you hit the other guy. When the riot ended some where, laying down and some trying to jump over the rope, but old "Blue" was victorious and hollowed crown me I'm King. After the riot, all the boys dined. About seven o'clock several hours after dinner, Ir. thawk from Virginia ended the program by a speech entitled, Sunlight and Shadow. He said sunlight is first and best found in your mother's face. Never say something to your friend or sweetheart that you would be ashamed to tell your mother. Never do something that will cause your neighbor or friend injury, even though it is pleasure to yourself. Never think because you are downed by your friends and indicates that you are a memoir to the community, because everybody is subject to the same fall; if you fall in one place rise in another. Conscience, cheerfulness and good health is better than all the riches in the world. If each person had carried his own burden and let the other follow a me, there would never have been way to day with the American people. These were some of the essential points made in the address. Mr. Hawk ended his speech by saying that because you are not in the army, you think that you are a shacker, but in so much as you are helping the government, then so much are you strengthening the forces of Uncle Sam. PARTY FOR LITTLE FOLE A party was given by Miss Bay Hughes, of Argyle avenue on Friday afternoon of last week in honor of her young nephews, Masters Florence, Summer and Bertrand Howard of New York. Among those present were Misses Katherine Johnson, Bermone Rockling, Gladys Fitzgerald and Clementine Murphy; Masters Vernon and Irving Lottier, Bernard Hughes, Jr. Ralph Rockling, Jr. and T. Event Fernandis, Jr. Quite a pleasant time was spent, with the little wizards, who have been with their grandparents, left Saturday, with their mother, for home. Colored folk have not only migrated northward, but southward, ward and westward. Causes mainly economical operated in instances. 1. 1822—The Society of Friends or Quakers, believing in freedom all men, encouraged, financed and directed the first batch of 1,000 persons of color from slave states into the free states of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. This was the beginning of the "Underground Railroad," which carried thousands to freedom. 2. 1820-1852—7,836 persons, 3,865 of whom were slaves, sent by the American Colonization Society to Liberia, Africa. For a time it was hoped to get rid of all colored people in this way. 3. 1833-1834—Africa practically given up, and emigration to Texas, Laytad, Trimadad, and other West Indian Islands substituted. As late as 1840, 100 persons left Philadelphia for the West Indies. 4. 1800-1861—The wanderings of the blacks disturbed by the armies invading the south, and the return south of northern Negroes following the victorious Union armies. Some towns in the North were deserted villages, when these colored men went home with the army. 70,000 Negroes from Florida crowded northward in military camps alone. 10,000 came to New Orleans from country districts. 5. 1865-1875—35,000 persuaded to leave South Carolina and Georgia for Arkansas and Texas. This is known as the general moxement toward the southwest following the Civil War. 6. 1865-1875—Movement of the intelligent class of Negroes from their northern places of refuge and hiding back to the south. They wanted to be useful as leaders in remaking the race. William Simmons, Bishop Hood of the Zion Church, Honorable Richard Greener, Judge F. L. Cardozo and Honorable Robert Brown Elliott were among them. 7. 1895—A few hundred persons led by Bishop Henry M. Turner, emigrated to Wapino, Mexico. They returned after a hostile reception. 200 others went to Liberia. Visionaries still hoped to get all colored persons out of the country. 9. 1900-1910—Steady trickle of numbers estimated at a hundred thousand—the talented tenth—dissatisfied with the South, searching in the north for education, civil and political freedom, the right of free speech. Excursions of two thousand were known to run to Chicago from the South. Only a few of them ever returned. 10. 1914-1918—"Exodus during the world war," numbers variously estimated to be between three quarters and a round million, looking for high wages and trying to escape the "unsatisfactory tenant system, the boll weevil, the crop failure of 1916, lynching, disfranchisement, segregation, poor schools, and the monotony and drudgery of farm life," left South for the North. From A CENTURY OF NEGRO MIGRATION—a new book—by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. 220 jages, 1918. Price $1.10 by mail. Published by the Association for the Study of Negro Life, 1216 You street, Northwest, Washington, D. C. Factory Employs Many Colored Girls Tobacco Company Makes Experiment —Could Use 1000 The P. Lorifard Company, successor to the Consolidated Cigarette Company, a concern with $66,000,000 capital and branches in the large cities of the country established a branch in this city two months ago. The local factory, which makes a brand of little cigars is located at 716 German street in a large three story building. Colored girls only are employed. Mr. George Williams, local manager, and Mrs. Estelle Hall, a former school teacher, forelady in charge of the girls, took special interest in showing a representative of the Afro-American thru the large plant, where 115 girls are at work on the machines and in the packing rooms, and indicated the bright clean surroundings and the conveniences, including a rest room, provided to keep the girls healthy and contented while at work. Mr. Williams, said that his company was pleased with the way the girls had taken hold of the work up to this time, but that he expected even better results as they grew more experienced. All of the employees, he said received a flat salary of $8 per week. As soon as they caught on sufficiently, they are to be placed on piece work where they can earn $12, $15 and even $18 depending on the number of cigars they can turn out. He said that in the two months in Baltimore, no one had been put on piece work yet, although had been there long enough to show rapid progress. On each floor of the factory, there are one or two skilled white employees and a mechanic from other factories detailed for instruction purposes. Ultimately, it is said, these places will be taken by colored girls and mechanics as soon as they qualify. Mrs. Hall, who is a former school teacher in Anne Arundel county and a sister of Dr. Edward J. Wheley, has direct charge of the employment and direction of the girls employed. No girls are engaged without recommendation, and those dorelief in any way are discharged immediately. The aim is, Mrs. Hall said to keep the moral standard of the workers on the highest plane. No girl in any family, she said need be afraid to work in the Lorthardt Factory because of her association. The patriotic nature of the work was intimated by Mr. Williams, who said that his company not only paid a mix of $2 per thousand on the cigars made, but that the issuing of the tobacco ration for the soldiers made his plant an essential industry. One of the biggest opportunities that has ever come to the colored women of the city to work for wages approximating that earned by men, he said, lies right in the German street factory. "There are only 116 here now as a working force and I had to employ more than 200 to get them. If I could get 1000 colored women of the right type, willing to work and stick to it, I could have a place to put them." "Here" suggested the reporter with a smile. "No," said Mr. Williams, "we would start another factory for them." Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Jones, of Washington, passed thru the city this week to Aberdeen where they will spend a week. While here they were guests of Mrs. Collett Miss Attrue Perry, an employee of the afro-American, who with her sister, Mrs. Susie Smith, has been spending some time visiting friends in Virginia, has returned home. Mr. Lucy Hutchins and daughter, who have been visiting Miss Hutchins, its brother street, have returned home The past ten days were full of special activities at the W. C. C. Club for Colored Soldiers and Sailors at 408 Orchard street. Beginning with Sunday, September 1st and covering Sunday, September 8th, the largest number of soldiers and sailors were accommodated with meals lodgings than at any time since the club has been opened. The coming of the United Spaniard War Veterans to attend their 26th annual convention brought many camp of-town visitors to the club. The colored members of this organization used the club as their headquarters, and many of them availed themselves of the accommodations provided by the club for meals and lodging. The Col. Charles Young Camp No. 21 U. S. W. V. of Philadelphia, Pa., which had previously engaged and paid for the club as headquarters generously shared the privileges with other colored camps from various parts of the country. Lively scenes were in and about the club all the week, the last of the U. S. W. V. not leaving Saturday, September 7th. They were closely followed by the largest number of soldiers and sailors now in the nation's service that have ever visited and lodged in the club. All the beds in the two large dormitories were occupied on Saturday night, September 7th. On Saturday September 7th the club was able through the kindness of Bishop John Hurst, Mr. Thomas Smith and Mr. J. Wesley Parker to tender the free use of their large touring cars to the Motor Messenger Service for conveying convalescent soldiers of the base hospital at Fort McLeenay to and from the athletic meet which was held at Homewood on that day. The kindness of these gentlemen is most highly appreciated and the Executive Committee of the club is asking thru the Afro-American that other owners of cars among our colored citizens tender at an early date the use of their cars to give a free auto ride to the colored convalescent patients at the base hospital at Fort McHenry that they may be shown the points of interest in and about the city. Application can be made at the W. C. C. S. Office. The Saturday evening dance of September 7th-18 surpassed in points of attendance, fine music, real enjoyment and genuine pleasure all the precious dance given by the club; the music was furnished by the C. S. Wealth Orchestra lead by Prof. L. L. Harris. This orchestra will hereafter furnish the music for all the dances given at the club. Terms of agreement having been entered into for the service of this orchestra and the executive committee through the executive secretary, Dr. William H. Weaver. Sunday afternoon, September 8th-18 at 5:30 P. M. a most pleasing program of recitation and music was rendered for the boys in the recreation room of the club by Mr. Isaiah Linberry (Hurle Eravado) formerly of this city, now in the United States Naval Service and sailors Wm. N. Jackson of U. S. Ship Rosalia and James Hunter of U. S. Ship Algoquin. At the meeting of the Executive Committee held Wednesday, September 11th proposals were submitted and considered for immediately increasing facilities for physical comfort and other improvements necessary to enhance the usefulness and attractiveness of the building.

Hundreds of men were in line in front of the registering places before seven o'clock this morning in order to register before going to work. One man the officials told the staff that when they opened that he had been there all night in order to be on time.

He answered the questions as to his employer, birth, age, marital relation, and the name of his employer.
