The Afro-American

Maryland's Best. The Afro-American is the oldest, largest and newsiest weekly Newspaper in Maryland. THE AFRO-AMERICAN VOL. XXVII. No 4. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, MD. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1918. PRICE 5 CENTS BALTIMORE BOYS IN THE TRENCHES John N. Evans Tells How The Old First Separate Company is Faring "Over There" HOME FOLK DON'T WRITE Special to The Afro-American Musician John H. Evans, one of the old First Separate company boys writes the Afro-American that the boys are going through trying times in pushing the Germans back. He says the boys are sick for letters from home. "The boys of my old company, the First Separate, of Maryland, which has as a new name, the 372, Company I, wish to hear from their relatives and friends in Baltimore. "I was up to the front line the other day and heard the boys ask for mail. The mail corporal answered that he only had six letters and not one of them was for Company I. I wish you could have seen the boys with their blue feelings and downest hearts. A few minutes later, the company funny man came along to cheer us up with some of his songs made up since he has been here. He calls them the 'Dugout Elms." "It is true that Pinkney is a hero besides being a funny man. I saw him go out under shell fire to get a wounded French soldier and coming back, because he could reach a place of safety that exploded so near him and Freenheman that both were covered up with dirt from the shell hole. After some hard work we were able to dig them out and take them to a first aid station. "Sergeant Robert Terry of Washington, got a medal for going over to the enemy's lines and bringing back his barbed wire with him." "You can see that we are doing our best to bring victory to the flag. A later letter from Musician Evans tells of a fierce bombardment by German guns, which shook them up considerably, but caused no casualties among the Marylanders. Since this letter dated August 27th, these boys have gone "over the top" as a part of General Pershing's forces which drove the Boaches back 15 miles into their own territory. PEW MILES FROM BORDER "Let me tell you that we are now a few miles from the border line of Germany. This is some warm place and made hotter by the German shells we get for supper and for breakfast. "It is only the prayers of the loved ones at home that can be saving our boys, I have seen a great many soldiers killed while we have been lucky and come off with a few wounds only. "These are trying times in our lives. At nights the sky is lighted up like a Fourth of July celebration. The whist of flying bullets and the row of bursting shells is something to describe. Sometimes the entire mountain shakes like a tornado. "I have been the trenches, have eaten and slept with the French soldiers. I have visited the so-called 'No Man's Land' too, as I stood on guard while the boys awent out and brought back a prisoner. Afterward I saw the Germans retreating under a terrific fire. "None of the Maryland boys were scarred in the first action, but in the second several were severely wounded. They withstood a German pitrol out looking for information. Our boys wiped them up and brought back their helmets. Look for helmets in Baltimore soon. "I believe the war is near an end. Some of the boys brought in a German prisoner to General's headquarter and he gave out some pretty good done. He said that every German soldier realizes that Germany is getting weaker all the time. While the French are holding their own, with the English at their best and the Americans hindering armies by the thousands every day. "We are trusting in the prayers of a great many friends every day that God will give us a speedy and overwhelming victory. Musician JOHN H.

COLORED COP TURNS TRAITOR Shows White Feather After Promising to Testify Against Alleged White Murderer SEQUEL TO PHILA. RIOTS Colored Protective Association Organized to Look Out for Special to The Afro-American Philadelphia, Pa., September 23—The Colored Protective Association, which was recently organized to present Policeman Ramsey, the police station at the recent Federal Sts. the recent race riots in the southern part of this city, has done very commendable work. Notwithstanding the great influence the police man has, the Association has been able to put him in jail. First, it kept him from being exonerated in the first inquest, and in the second, and him committed without bail, and at the third hearing on Friday of last week, when he appeared before Judge Wessels, in an effort to no released on a writ of habeus corpus, he failed and was committed to judge. Judge Wessels severely scored the police authorities of the Twentieth and Federal street station for not making a vigilant investigation and threat a detective to make a special investigation for the Court, Lawyer G. Edward Dickerson, the Attorney for the Colored Protective Association was present with more than a dozen witnesses and had a strong case. COLORED POLICEMEN The most disappointing thing about the case was the conduct of two colored policemen. It is alleged that two colored policemen named Johnson and Wood, were in the station house and saw Riley Bullock lying before the police servant's desk; that they heard Policeman Ranney acknowledge that he shot the colored man, and that one of these colored men helped put the fire out which the pistol started in their closet. Another alleged bout of the colored policemen came to the Colored Protective Association's Attorney and told him about the murder. But when the case came both of these colored policemen deserved they knew nothing about the killing, and one of them swore that he never saw Ramsey before. This shows the hard task the Colored Protective Association has—when even a colored man will go back on his statement. Of course, pressure is brought to bear. But that should not discourage the colored people. They should go into this prosecution in earnest; for if this policeman goes free, it will mean that every colored man in this city is in danger. The Colored Protective Association means to see, this case through, to the end. The Association also represented the two young men who were shot on the Grays' Perry Road Bridge about a month ago; it also has the case against Policeman Schneider, who beat up a colored man named Lia the Policine Hospital. All of these cases are being pushed vigorously. OTHER WORK OF THE ASSOCIATION. Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., president of the Colored Protective Association, addressed the Baptist Members' Meeting at Shiloh Baptist Church last week Praise for Black Troops General Pershing Says They Can Do As Much As Any Other American Citizens. Paris, Aug. 25 (By Mail)—General Pershing paid a fine compliment to American Negro troops in France in addressing 6,000 colored stevedores at a base port recently. “When this expedition first started,” he said, “the question was asked. Do you want any colored men over there? and I said Yes, of course I wanted colored men. Aren’t they American citizens? Can’t they do as much in the line of fighting and as much work as any other American citizen?” The general said he was reared in a town where three-fourths of the people were colored; he was proud to say he was reared by a colored manny and equally proud to say he commanded a colored troop during the Spanish War, and that they did splendid work then and they are doing splendid work “I used to wrestle with a colored boy named Dave Robertson,” said Pershing, speaking of his boyhood days, “and Dave used to throw, me as often as I threw him.” The General was cheered enthusiastically by the colored regiment and by the other service of supply men he addressed on his tour. The cheers were loudest when he promised to give the men at the bases “a chance at the boche” up at the front. "I expect to come back here," he said, and organize a few volunteer units, and give you guns and let you go up to the front and try your hand at it."

Germans will not be able to stand the gaff much longer, they say, for they are sending their youngest men to the front now: One of these soldiers has a record for wounds, having been shot 27 times. Colored girls are taking the place of men in school room assistants. Jim Trenton, N. J. they are "trackin' up" and doing it to the satisfaction of the managers and the patrons. The bolo is the best weapon in the world, wounded soldiers returning from France declare. So one of them "In close quarters around Chateau Thierry, a German hit me on the shoulder with his gun. There wasn't much room for anything, and I got back at him with my bolo. I stuck him the best way I could. He is kicking the duels now. I got three Germans before I fainted." At the closing exercises of the Infantry Division of the Central Officers' Training School, Cump Pike, Littlewood men, one hundred and seven coated men, representing nearly every state in the Union, received commissions as second Lieutenants. Capt. Garrison, the instructor in charge of the school, said that the young men had exceeded all expectations and had meet conditions as they were in a most cheerful and conident manner Before Ralph W. Tyler could start for France as the new war correspondent to write news of colored troops, he had to put up $1,000 in cash and file a bond for the same amount with the war department. War correspondents are rationed and equipped like officers and in addition have, all the privileges commissioned officers have. "We employ only white help and cater to white trade." Whites and blacks, mostly soldiers saw the above sign in a Portland, Oregon, restaurant and tore it to pieces. When Van Smith of New Orleans was ordered to appear in court and answer charges of being a dangerous character, he wrote the judge the following letter: "Mr. Lasselle, Dear Sir—This is to certify that I and drafted and must go to training camp tonight. Therefore, I can't be here for trial, as Useless Sam has held of me just now. Will appear before the court after the war is over, if I don't get killed. "Sincerely, VAN SMITH." "Discharged," said Judge Fogarty. "And hope Smith makes a man of himself." The Ordinance Department at Washington is considering taking over a patient of Charles Stevenson of Amarillo, Texas. Stevenson has invented a type of glass bomb for use in mining and sapping the enemies lines. The government wants the invention but only wants to pay the small amount of $5,000 for it. Whites and blacks several thousand in number heard Roscoe Simmons in Greenville, Mississippi last week. He said: "As side by side we fight on the fields of war-cursed Europe. As side by side we fight to make treaties between nations more than a 'scrap of paper', I'm going to whisper in the ear of my brave white comrade and leader, and say, 'Look, Cap'n, after we make treaties more than a 'scrape of paper' let's go back home and make the Constitution more than a "piece of writing.""

Washing- Dallas, Texas, Sept. 21.—Speaking in this city before a large audience Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University said last week that the chief beneficiary of this war is the Negro, and that the outlook for becoming a real American is more hopeful than ever before. "In this world war, the Jew long oppressed, and denied his rights, afforded no protection, but ever proscribed, has at last through this transitional change from era to epoch, has had his disabilities removed, and in the mime countries, where the dissatisfaction, and the discontented classes, grievously oppressed, all have been benefited. But the American Negro has become its chief beneficiary of this war, not because he is a Negro; but because he is the farther down, being disfranchised in the South in politics, and disfranchised in the North in the industries; but now he fills a vacuum long since made thus by the harsh sentiments and customs of these two sections. This war and its necessities bring a condition bone to the American people which Dr. Booker T. Washington, in his great institution and all its auxiliaries could not in their great army of skilled artisans, with all their preparation and fitness fill one thousand part in the great demand in every department of this crisis. But this war has opened a vista, opened the gate way to the American Negro us never before. "The Negro has been permitted before this war to earn his dollars in the South, earn his dollars in every capacity as a laborer, but while he was denied employment in the North, he was permitted to spend his hard earnings there of course, earned in one of the wars. In the United States, there is a reaction in the United States, the earning capacity is twofold greater in the wage scale since the war. Inviting fields are open North and South. Shall we enter them?" CIVILIANS MAY ENTER TRAINING CAMPS In accordance with the revised regulations issued by The Adjutant General of the Army, applications of civilians to the Central Officers' Training School may now be received. The age limit of applicants is from 10 to 18 less than 46 years at the date of registration. Special induction for training at these schools will be regulated so that a fair proportion of candidates shall come from (1) The Army at large in accordance with existing instructions; (2) Civilian Class A; (3) Civilians with deferred classification. The final selection of civilian applicants will be made by the Commanding Officers of the various Central Officers' Training Schools. No applications will be considered in the War Department. At present, colored men are admitted to training schools as follows: Artillery, Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky.; Infantry, Camp Like, Little Rock, Ark.; and machine gun training, Camp Bancock, Augusta, Ky. ton, Wm. Johnson, H. Sparker, R. Robinson. 4th row—A. Henson, S. Lewis, J. W. Lee, R. Shelton. 5th row—G Scott, W. Mason, R. L. White, E. Boston. Special to The Afro-American The Howard University, Unit of the Students Army Training Corps will be taught the German language. Despite the popular protest against the study of German, the courses at the University have the approval of the German language teachers desiring to specialize in technical subjects of military value will be urged to pursue them. German is considered indispensable to soldiers who intend to enter the Intelligence Department of the Army. It is considered most important by those students who are to specialize in chemistry, engineering and medicine. In a letter to the dean of the college a few weeks ago, the new President Durkee defined his attitude when he said "we must distinguish between language on the one hand and the Ipodsham gang on the other hand. We shall not emphasize it unduly." Since the outbreak of the war Howard academic departments have lost sixteen teachers. Ten of them hold commissions, the army. Rev. J. Francis Gregory is in charge of the religious work of Y. M. C. A. in the camps; Prof. Wm. Coleman, Physics has been commanded by the Bureau of Standards in this city; Ernest Pollard, Instructor in English, drafted; Harold Haynes, Instructor in Engineering, working in Philadelphia shipyards; Wm. Duckner, Instructor in Carpentry, drafted; Prof. Carl J. Murphy, German, resigned to* take up newspaper work; Charles Wesley, instructor in History, Y. M. C. A. work Camp Meade Prof. Numa P. G. Adams, Chemistry, has received a flattering offer to enter the Department of Chemistry at Pittsburgh, Pa. and may accept. Ohio University Bars Colored Students in Military Training Special to the Afro-American Columbus, Ohio, September 25—Kappa Chapter of the zeta Phi Alpha Friarsnity wired its general officers in Washington today that colored men were refused admittance to the Students Training Corps located at Ohio State University. Colored men are allowed to matriculate as students but may not enter the courses of military training provided by the government. If the discrimination is allowed to continue, it will be forced to transfer of all of the students will be forced to transfer at great expense to some other school where colored men can get military training along with their other training. Ohio University has had colored students along with white since its establishment. Many strong men of the middle west are counted among its graduates. Protest has been lodged at Washington with the War Department. REORGANIZATION IN EAST ST. LOUIS Government Backing Work of National Urban League in Riot Stricken Town (Special to the Afro-American) New York, Sept. 23.—The Urban League of East St. Louis has been doing its work of reconstruction in a very telling way. Since June 1918 and prior to the community organization work undertaken by the Government the Urban League of East St. Louis has been directing its efforts toward the social betterment of the entire community. Government and the League activities being similar it was decided by the War Community Organization Committee to include the expenses of the League of the next year in the general budget. This event was reached at a conference held in Washington, September 18th by Fred C. Butler, Chief of the War Community Service to discuss the plan of coordinating the industrial activities with those of existing agencies in East St. Louis. George Walker Buckner, former teacher in Tuskegee Institute and for a short time employed in the League work in New York City where he was gaining experience is its executive secretary. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions with the Reverend Allison and Mr. Willis and two other government welfare experts to be located in East St. Louis was called in conference in the interest of the work of the local League. In addition to financial backing by the Community Service Bureau, Mr. Jones further urged that those in authority in East St. Louis, take immediate steps to improve the housing conditions of the Negroes there as the first necessary step toward instilling civic pride. $200,000 FOR THREE YEARS PRO GRAM This suggestion was very timely as it should be a part of the plan of the Community Organization Branch of the United States Department of War which has for its object the civic and industrial and social rehabilitation of East St. Louis. The Government has found it expedient and necessary to improve the labor conditions everywhere in order to secure greater efficiency in production especially in centers where large war orders are being placed. The War Commission's program was gladly accepted by both citizens and the packing interest which have pledged half of the $200,000 for the three years' program. This program includes the coordination of all agencies in any way connected with civic improvement, their work being supervised by experts in their particular field. A committee of fifty representative citizens has been selected to cooperate with the experts, carrying out suggestions and recommendations of an executive committee of nine members chosen from the larger committee, the supervised by an executive director, the first year include the establishment of community centers for both white and colored employees to be equipped with every means for their development such as movies, auditoriums, day nurseries, shower baths, gymnasiums, etc. Physical and educational classes, domestic science and first aid will also be features of the work. It will be recalled by those who followed the development in the race riot of July 1917 that the National League on Urban ordinations among Negroes and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People were represented at the Congressional hearings held at East St. Louis to expose incidents of the riots which affected interstate commerce and the production of articles being made by Government contract. It is thought that the movement to improve living conditions in East St. Louis is the direct result of the findings of this committee and the publicity later given them in Congress. CAMP HOLABIRD QUARANTINED Camp Holabird on the Bay Shore electric line between Bay View and Sparrows Point is now under quarantine. Several cases of Spanish influenza among the thousand or more colored soldiers there caused the authorities to take this step. Officers are not affected but the men are held under strict watch. A new color Y. M. C. A. secretary will be assigned to the camp shortly. NEW Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY AT EDGEWOOD Horace Penney, of Tuskegee, Ala., has taken charge of the Y. M. C. A. that has just been started for colored soldiers at Edgewood, Md. near Aberdeen. These soldiers were recently sent there. Mrs. Penny who is a domestic science teacher at Tuskegee Institute is visiting in the city. PRICE 5 CENTS QUIET IN NORFOLK AFTER THE RIOT Trouble Starts When Soldiers are Arrested For Alleged Robbery of Studio. WHITE POLICEMAN INJURED Police Station Windows Are Smashed in effort to Free Soldiers. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 24—No deaths have been reported, but police ser- gent Buek White, (white) is in the hospital seriously injured from a blow on the head with a heavy bottle, and several others are slightly wounded as a result of a race riot last Sat- day night. Today the vicinity of the station house is quiet. No extra officers are on guard, and the race flare has died out as quickly as it arose. Two colored soldiers from Camp Alexander under alleged false arrest for robbing a cash register in a photographer's studio, were hurried to the Second Precinct Station. A crowd of two or three hundred quickly gathered, and led by other soldiers, attempted a rescue. The windows of the station house were shattered by a volley of bottles, paving stones and other missiles hurled by the rioters. The minimum of fifty shots were exchanged between both sides, and things looked dark for the police and the grievous guards gave sufficient strength to drive off the rescuers. Meanwhile Policeman White had gotten a musty blow over the right eye, which, for a time was feared might result in contusion of the body. The slightly wounded officers and soldiers who were hurt by bullets and taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, were pronounced out of danger. None of the attackers were fatigued and the arrests have been made. Not only did the crowd vent its anger on the station house, but the ambulance that was on its way to the hospital with a wounded policeman, were not able to reach the arrests. Authorities are not expecting any new incident to cause a renewal of the outbreak. Malones Aid Tuskegee Institute Special to the Afro-American Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, announced today the receipt of $1200.00 from Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, executive heads of the Poro College of hair culture, St. Louis, Missouri, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone have for a number of years manifested great interest in the work of Tuskegee and have on number of occasions contributed to the work. The Poro College is one of the most successful business enterprises owned and operated by colored people. It is said that they employ nearly 100 young men and women at the St. Louis office and factory, and do an average annual business of $250,000. A few weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Malone were in Baltimore to open the $33,000 rally at Beltchurch At that time Dr. Sampon Brooks introduced them as persons who could give a check for the gift. Each day they held their lecture on business enterprises through the country and their pictures of the Poro College Plant brought them for the first time into closer acquaintance with Baltimore. T. DERSE RESIGNATION Iev. L. Z. Johnson, pastor of the Madison Street Presbyterian Church announced to his congregation last Sunday morning that he would tender his resignation at the meeting of the members of the church on Wednesday of next week: Iev. Mr. Johnson will occupy the chair of Public Speaking at Howard University.

Rev. Mrs. Jeanette Johns of the A. M. E. Zion Conference is doing a splendid work at the Phoebe A. M. E. Zion Church. 22S Forest street. This charge under her aggressive and energetic pastorate promises to develop into a large congregation. Mr. Johns, who possesses the novel definition of being a regular ordained and constituted deacon in her church is an industrious, consecrated and zealous preacher capable of holding her own in all affairs pertinent to the ecclesiastical promises. Ireproxachable in delivery, unimpeachable in character and wilful animated in discourse her sermons ring with an appeal carrying solidity and conviction to all who hear her. Every Saturday night within the shadow of busy Boss Air Market she proches to crowds of market goers who arrested by the sound of her voice stop and listen for 20 and 30 minutes in rept attention. Men and women step out of the crowds and either profess Christ or ask for prayers. Vehement amends and the respectful attitude of white and colored people attest the fact that those people approve and are in harmony with the meetings. The writer of this article who is a clergyman in one of Baltimore's churches has through this splendid woman obtained a conception which he fears is not entertained favorably by Baltimore's clergy: le: "God is better pleased with his ministers who go out in the highways and hedges and extend to men the invitation to come to Christ." He deplores the fact that our pastors are too satisfied with their congregations, and neglect the opportunity of carrying Christ outside their parochial boundaries. Battinace could be made a better place to live, and most certainly a more Christ like environment pervade her precepts if our spiritual leaders would get out of their Prince Albert Coats and discard their white ties and emulate this good woman who is so happy when she is preaching to the rabble that Christ died for them.

Meetings have been held in the estate and in the city. Business meetings have held conferences and descriptions worked out. Before preparations for the strenuous, suggestion was made to the man of the Loan Committee, that one would be placed on the various sub-represented to the chairman that they so liberally in all the patriotic can be more likely to make an extra Liberty Loan, were some of their own in the collection and the arrangement. Real colored Liberty Loan Committee was expected that colored members be other committeemen. Senior Goldsborough that differently, colored persons have been invited to tons for the campaign or in the demos day. The action of the Loan Committee words, that beyond the dollars other co-operation is needed. Give at it. Exactly what the people of the city want because of the square headed Loan Committee but in spite of him. They subscribed to the Fourth Liberty local authorities, if it did, they will go to the government as the contrite one to back up the men at the front. The dollar bond is a direct blow at Gold Subscription brings the end of the war. We can't go, we can subscribe the votes, and to keep others on the front line by not helping handicap your boycott—or by not subscribing strengthen cross—or get into a uniform. Then from expects every patriot to do his duty. NEWS CORRESPONDENT AT THE STATE Attendate that Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, the correspondent to give the news on the colored troops, Mr. Tyler is out of many years standing, and we are in the days to come we are to have to what the colored boys are doing be hoped that the news bureau, or all the good things out of his desert to the colored newspapers. It these papers will not be given this news gets a chance at it. History of the activities of the color front and elsewhere is to be written, colored man, not that it will not be known all troops are known by number, credit is given to the troops, with or condition. Even now, it is only onation of colored troops and what they with the dispatches. Mr. Tyler is now giving the news but to correlate the variety hoped that this will be done. Published every Saturday at the Afro-American Building 628 North Eutaw Street, Baltimore, Md., by the Afro-American Company of Baltimore City. J. H. Murphy, Manager. COLORED FOLK AND THE LIBERTY LOAN Ex-Governor Goldsborough has completed his plans for the opening of the big Liberty Loan Drive that is to begin with all sorts of demonstrations and with the visit of Col. Theodore Roosevelt to the city. Meetings have been held in various parts of the state and in the city. Business men, newspaper men and fraternities have held conferences and methods of obtaining subscriptions worked out. A long time before preparations for the state campaign were on in earnest, suggestion was made to the ex-Governor, who is chairman of the Loan Committee, that colored representatives should be placed on the various sub-committees. It was further represented to the chairman that the colored people who gave so liberally in all the patriotic campaigns heretofore, would be more likely to make an extraordinary effort in the Fourth Liberty Loan, were some of their own race taking a part in the collection and the arrangements for collection. No special colored Liberty Loan Committee was asked for. But it was expected that colored members be appointed to work with other committeemen. Ex-Governor Goldsborough that differently, and up until this time no colored persons have been invited to take part in the preparations for the campaign or in the demonstration on the opening day. The action of the Loan Chairman says more loudly than words, that beyond the dollars of the colored folks, no further co-operation is needed. Give and don't say so much about it. This is exactly what the people of the city and state are going to do. Not because of the square headed chairman of the Liberty Loan Committee but in spite of him. The money subscribed to the Fourth Liberty Loan does not go to the local authorities, if it did, they would not get very much. It does go to the government as the contribution of the people at home to back up the men at the front. Every fifty dollar bond is a direct blow at Germany. Every subscription brings the end of the war that much closer. When we can't go, we can subscribe the where-with-all to send others, and to keep others on the front line in fighting trim. Help—or by not helping handicap your boy at the front. Subscribe—or by not subscribing strengthen the morale of the Hun. Come across-or get into a uniform. There is no other alternative. Uncle Sam expects every patriot to do his duty. Selah. OUR NEWS CORRESPONDENT AT THE FRONT It is fortunate that Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, has been appointed war correspondent to give the news concerning the activities of the colored troops. Mr. Tyler is a newspaper correspondent of many years standing, and we are pretty well assured that in the days to come we are to have some real good news as to what the colored boys are doing on the front line. It is to be hoped that the news bureau, at Washington, will not censor all the good things out of his despatches before they are sent to the colored newspapers. It is also hoped that the white papers will not be given this news before the colored papers get a chance at it. If the history of the activities of the colored troops on the French front and elsewhere is to be written it must be written by a colored man, not that it will not be written, but as is well known all troops are known by number, and as in the Civil War, credit is given to the troops, without any reference to color or condition. Even now, it is only once in a while that any mention of colored troops and what they are doing filters through the dispatches. Mr. Tyler is now in a position, not only to give the news but to correlate the various activities It is sincerely hoped that this will be done. STATE FAIR AND GAMBLING We not attended county and agriculture now just how they are conducted, esent features, and consequently cannot be in such matters. Therefore we are to express expert opinion. State-Wide Farmers' Exhibition and Cat Salisbury, Wicomico county was a successful affair in many particulars to be very much in earnest in try, should be, and we are glad to say, they were quite successful. However, which seemed to mar the success of the various gambling games carried out the time of the Fair. Many of these been tabooed in all respectable gath that they should have been debarred. We have not attended county and agricultural fairs enough to know just how they are conducted, especially as to the amusement features, and consequently cannot be considered an expert in such matters. Therefore we are not sufficiently qualified to express expert opinion. The State-Wide Farmers' Exhibition and Conference recently held at Salisbury, Wicomico county was quite an interesting and successful affair in many particulars. The promoters seemed to be very much in earnest in trying to make it just what it should be, and we are glad to say, that in most instances they were quite successful. However, there is just one thing, which seemed to mar the success of the affair, and that was the various gambling games carried out openly during the entire time of the Fair. Many of these games have long since been tabooed in all respectable gatherings and it does seem that they should have been debarred from this particular interesting enterprise. It is to be hoped, for the sake of the welfare of those who attend these gatherings, in the future, the committee and managers will see to it that they are left out entirely, as there is absolutely nothing in them but harm both to the morals and pockets of those who attend. Death and bullets are more democratic than the United States. Roscoe Conklin Simmons told an audience of 8,000 in Richmond recently. The former knows no color line; and the latter respect no race. A local white woman is of the impression that if colored women can be forced to do her housework, she would have more time to devote to the Red Cross and other war work. How much war work can any namby pamby sissy do who has not got intelligence and energy enough to do her own house work The government has asked every householder to do her own housekeeping as a bit towards winning the war, freeing servants for essential work. Not only are white women unpatriotic enough to protest against doing a little work themselves, but they are ignorant enough to be jealous of colored women whose husbands are now making enough money to keep them at home making it a place worthy of the name. There is only one name for a woman who considers her own convenience ahead of winning the war. She is a traitor of the rankest kind. The N. A. A. C. P. announces that at the advice of its counsel Moorefield Story, the Moores and Dyer Anti-Lynching bills now before congress will not be pushed by them. Mr. Storey's opinion is that neither of these bills would be held valid by the Supreme Court, and to avoid undue court procedure it would be better to push a measure limiting federal jurisdiction to cases affecting dependent relatives of men in the employ of the United States, or subject to service under the compulsory service law. This measure would be enacted under war powers and not under the fourteenth amendment. What is needed after all is not necessarily a Moore bill or a Dyer Bill or Storey Bill, but one that everybody can get behind and push. Score one more on Georgia's lynching record—a seventeen year old boy this time. President Wilson needs to use something more convincing than arguments to impress Georgians. "Going over the top means good morning Jesus" is the colorful way a boy of the 92nd put it. A Liberty Bond will keep some soldier out of no man's land. A colored Protective Association has as its motto, "We pledge ourselves to help make Philadelphia a decent place in which to live." Not bad, but it is to be admitted that it is some job. The presence of four colored delegates at the last convention of the A. F. of L. is taken by the Department of labor as a sign that there is no longer any color line in labor's ranks. We know better than that. we know better that Bishop J. S. Flipper, at a picnic in Atlanta, condemned the summer fashions of 1918 severely. "Such short skirts," he said, "such open-work fabric, such low-necked blouses—a truce of these 1918 fashions. They're caricatures. Did I say caricatures" the bishop added. "Then let me withdraw the word. They are not caricatures, these fashions—no, they're take-offs." A permanent wave—The Stars and Stripes. Courage Though my heart was all tremble As the guns were pressing near; Though the range came close and tower. closer, Never did my spirit fear. Even when they bruised my shoulder, Tore my soft and filmy dress, Not a protest could I utter, Only closer could I press. —Munsey Up-Down Kaiser Bill went up the hill To take a look at France Kaiser Bill came down the hill With bullets in his pants. "Little while, after a rather severe engagement several colored soldiers were talking to me behind the lines. I did have some battle. Glad we cums out all right." "Yes suh. Ah doan want no battle lake that any moth." "Ah'm ready for 'em any time." "Just then a big shell went bloody right behind them. The soldiers went up into the air. When they came down they wiped the dirt out of their eyes and mouth when one piped up; 'My Gawd, what's my arm." "You better find it. Mobilize they can graft it on again." "Business, but I shuah would like to find it; I wore my wrist watch on that arm." "We read that the Germans cry 'Kamerad,' and then take advantage of leniency of our boys by dealing them a death blow. A friend of nine, a doctor, got the upper hand of a heinie in a bayonet duel when he cried: "Kamerad, Kamerad, I've got a wife and six children.' "Well, now, said the doctor as he plunged his bayonet, 'you'll have a widow and six orphans.' "Skulking around the camp in the dark a rookie pulled out a small, cold bottle and put it to his lips. He was detected by a sentry, who called out sharply, 'Corporal of the guard.' "For Gawd's sake, said the rookie, 'don't call the corporal; there is only enough left for the two of us.' Mrs. Wm. Giles wishes to announce to Mt. Winn and the public that her home on Russel and Centre streets is not to be sold and is not for sale, and is unknown to her. For further information apply to Mrs. Wm.

THE ASSOCIATION TAKES PHYSI- CIAN'S CASE At the Keystone Hall, 16th and Lombard streets, about forty physicians met last Monday. They were addressed by Dr. K. J. Wright, Jr. after their regular meeting. The physicians took up the matter of the drafted physicians, and the failure of the government to call the colored medical men who have been commissioned. Dr. Wright assured the physicians and dentists that the Colored Protective Association would be blind to the difference between dentists and dentists, committee on cooperation was appointed, consisting of Dr. J. T. Howard, C. E. Allen and E. T. Hinson, D. Minton and Barnes, who are Directors of the Colored Protective Association, acted as chairman and secretary, respectively of the meeting. Thirty physicians joined the Association. One, Dr. J. A. Trotman, paid $25, and became a Life Member. Meetings are to be held in all parts of the city. A drive for 10,900 members is now on. It will expected that more than this number will join in an effort to protect themselves. Meetings have been held at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Bothei Baptist Church Bethel A. M. E. Church, M. Pitgash A. M. E. Church, Allen A. M. E. Church, Shiloh Baptist Church and others. The membership now numbers more than a thousand people (Sir Philip Sleigh Philadelphia, Pa., Bell Phone, Walnut 8062). The officers are: Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., president; Rev. R. J. Williams, Rev. A. R. Robinson, Rev. C. A. Tindley, Rev. Alex Hannum, vice presidents; Rev. J. C. Beckett, secretary; Rev. F. H. Butler, assistant secretary; Rev. C. C. Scott, corresponding secretary; Rev. W. F.

Today, a rather gray-blue Sunday, which is so favorable to a mood of the same hue, (specially when you are in a dull little village with absolutely no form of amusement to distract your thots from your own fate),—today, when I am so close in point of time, to that move, which will place us where every minute may possibly hold in store for some one of us that Last Summons, a flood of regrets comes rushing over me. Regrets are cherished plan of action, not been carried into education; for ambition unrealized for deeds better left undone, words, unsaid. I am keenly obsessed of the fact that I have not been as faithful to some of my friendships as I might have been. Believe me when I tell you that there has never been any change of heart—and pass the word on to the rest of the "Bunch"—for I have neglected all alike. Many, many times I have that of the "E. S." and wished that I could be with them for one of our old-meetings. I have sworn a thousand times that at the Lord would just back back there only one, couldn't pick on Dan a bit; I wouldn't breathe a word to "Coach" about being heppecked; and I wouldn't tell a soul to the "creeps" you used to make. When one sits down as I am now—alone, with nothing but his tops, his memories, his hopes—he is seized with a sort of melancholia, which is evitable. We know we are face to face with death. While all of us are inspired by the same lofty sentiments as any other soldiers—that dying-for your country stuff—there is no one of us who wants or is readying for our plans and hopes for the future; we have families and friends to whom we are anxious to return. It is in just such moments as the present ones that we are most keenly conscious of how much we do desire these things. The knowledge that we stand such a good chance of not realizing our wants, brings on the melancholy mood. As if that knowledge is not enough for a man to be compelled to endure, it is always accompanied by retrospective sadness, that is no one of us who has been such a model in his manner of living, that he can turn a mirror upon his past and face the reflection without shuddering. When we are actively engaged in drill and maneuvers, with no time for such thots, we are a determined bunch. The white soldier has but one thing to make him fight—his patriotism. If he has not any of that, he is simply driven to battle. We have our patriotism, now that we are over here and have been made, by the French army. So we have more than that, prejudice, which is worse here than at home, is driving every man of us, especially the officers to fight to the last ditch. We realize that everything is at stake. I, personally am going into this thing to raise all the Hell I can. (I am like a new person as a result of my military experience—you see I cuss a little now.) We collectively are going into it to raise Hell, dump the Kelowns down and burn them to Hoboken like we have some sense. The A. E. I have a pretty good slogan now—Hell, Heaven, or Hoboken by Christmas. From newspaper reports, which we see now and then, it looks like that is about right too. Well you have a new President, I hear, another preacher. Why do they keep wishing those sky-pilots on you all? You know how often we used to wish that Howard could have a real man at her head. How is Kelly Miller now? As full of bull as ever? And Dean Moore? I heard how he fought against allowing those girls who married officers to continue in college. On the boat; coming over here, there was a pursar who reminded me of George Cook. He tried to run the whole damn boat at once. One night a fellow sneezed out on deck. He nearly had a fit—afraid a "sub" would hear it and be attracted to our ship. They have rotten champagne here. Three of us put several bottles of it under our belts the other night. Coming home, we took a short cut through the valley. To drain off the water ten people here dig ditches from their houses down across this valley to a main ditch. There is just a network of ditches coming alive: in the dark I stepped into the cistern ditches and fell on my face; the fagel next to me stumbled over me and fell on top of me thereby tripping the third fellow who piled upon top. I was on the bottom and caught Fell, believe me. Oh, no, we weren't drunk. I just stumbled, that's all. 'There was a big aeroplane battle over near us the other night. Enbarked a town four or five miles from me. People we could see the lightPHOTO. These battles are quite common Editor Afro-American:— You will no doubt be surprised to hear from one of the old First, Separate Company boys, who is now in France. I am not with the old company now but with the same regiment. I am receiving your paper and it is a great pleasure to read it over here. It is very lonesome over here. I would like to hear from Rev. W. W. of Stilish Church Baptism and my best love to Rev. Alfred Wong and tell them to keep on praying and we will do the rest to old Kaiser Bill. Also give my love to all the friends in, Baltimore.

I take great pleasure in writing you these few lines to let you hear from some of the boys. They are doing fine. We just had a paper and we must let you know that it found a way to our camp and it is a precious thing. It has passed into many hands since June. It was very kind of the lady who sent us, some news from our good old home town. from private Whiting, of Division street sends his regards and greetings to his many friends. I have seen the most of the boys from home. It was a great day when I received that paper. You would have admired the picture if you could have seen it and we are going to keep it preserved. Hoping to hear from Laurence Toomey, of the Ellis and also some of the Allen boys, I could say a lot of things the censor would permit, but you can say what I can for your paper. Some of the boys, write home to their friends and parents and don't receive any answer. If some of our friends know how it feels to the boys there when one gets a letter it would not be any doubt of some of the boys getting news from their friends. I also join in with the boys in giving three rousing, mighty cheers for the Afro-American is in 'camp. If you could only hear that vell. Some of the boys send regards to J. Edward Smith and Thos. A. Hardy. If I wrote every one's name I could not get paper enough. not get paper on the desk. From Sergeant JOHN C. PRATT. Co. D, 309 F. Bn., A. E. F., 712 via New York. Al he asks for while fighting over there is a letter from *home* and the news that it is all well with his mother Ah, you dear old mother You may sit home all alone Praying and watching daily That your boy come safely home. She misses you at the table She misses you everywhere In her eyes come tears a flowing When she sees your vacant chair. She always called you her baby Her pride, her hope and her joy And now that you are off fighting She is proud of her soldier boy. So take care of my dear mother As her hair is turning gray We are building down the Kaiser, They shall not pass our way. MEDICAL MEN IN CAMPAIGN AGAINST VENEREAL DISEASES Washington, D. C., Sept. 25.—An announcement is made that a group of prominent colored physicians and surgeons have been appointed by the War Department to carry on a vigorous campaign of education, with a view of combatting the spread of venereal diseases in the camps and cantonments of the country, where colored soldiers are stationed in appreciable numbers. The physicians thus far selected for this vitally important work include: Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn., formerly editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association and author of numerous literary and medical productions; Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, surgeon-in-chief of Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. Rescoe Brown, of Richmond, Va., and Dr. Ralph A. Stewart, of Washington, D. C. According to the plans adopted it is confidently expected that every colored soldier in the Army will be reached by this educational work. The work of these physicians is to be supplemented by literature which has been prepared to meet the special needs of colored troops. This is now in press, and a pamphlet covering these subjects simply but thoroughly will be put into the hands of every colored soldier in the Army who is able to read. It is hoped to reach those who cannot read by specially-prepared pictorial placards and stereoception slides. The last mentioned work will be largely in the hands of a group of colored sergeants who are peculiarly adapted by education and training for this work. FRENCH FIND NEW KIND. OF AMERICANS (Herbert Adams Gibbons, in the Century Magazine.) The villagers know the American Expeditionary Force. It is the same everywhere, in fact, where our boys go. They are splendid missionaries of Americanism, correcting decades of wrong impressions made by tourists. The French are seeing American bishop Joseph joval clean and gentle. The American of faith and display is replaced by the America of "pep" and play. This is the America the French did not know existed, and it is peculiarly sympathetique to them, to use their own untranslatable word. Even the dignified casino orchestra at Alx is contaminated with the rat time fever. Our furthell men share their pleasures with the French wounded and convalescent soldiers, with the townpeople and villagers, with the school children. To see Lieutenant Europe's family Negro playing in the open square at Alx and in the hospitals and the civilian population of Alx attending an American "big show" in their own casino to hear a hundred boys of the Ecole Superlore singing on the stage, "Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag" to watch a French gamin, of 12 leading the Negroes in "Dixie," with a perfect imitation of Lieutenant Europe under the approval of Europe's grin, there you have glimpses of the new Franco-American alliance in practice.

Preachers' Meeting of Baltimore and Vicinity. Our attention has been called to Sunday the 25th as being a day set aside by the state and city forces to be known as "Heroes Day." This information has come to me at a late hour. All the city and state officials to be known as "Heroes Day," for this monstrous celebration in our churches Sunday all day and the colored clergy of the city have been ignored and left out of the reckoning. As I read of their plans for the observance of "Heroes Day" on Sunday next, I remember with much mindless battle fields made crimson with the blood of our soldiers, I remember causes which would have been lost had it not been for the emerging of our troops into the fighting forces. I remember that from the very beginning of this noble war, we land and free "that no cause has been espoused and won from these conflict but that that cause also left embublished upon the memories of this commonwealth the manes and deeds of heroes in bronze which cannot fade from the pages of history or the memories of glories won. I therefore wish to ask such ministers of our several churches represented by our Preachers' Meeting to do his utmost to see that the aged and youth of "Heroes Day" be fully instructed and reminded of our soldiers who are this very day upon the battle fields of this present conflict winning new laurels and glory for themselves and our race and that this conflict, mighty and unprecedented as it will not be won until our Heroes again prove themselves the most faithful, courageous, and brave. ```markdown ``` Fairfield, Md., Sept. 26—After five days stay with Mr. and Mrs. W.

QUIETLY MARRIED QUIETLY MARRIED On Wednesday, September 18, 1918 Mrs. Reta Crowdy Moody was quietly married to Mr. Eugene Montell Washington by Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, of Bethel A. M. E. Church. The ceremony was performed at the parsonage. FINE TRIBUTE PAID WATTY Testimonial Reception To Head Of Pythians Attended By Prominent Men—Scott Speaks Several hundred persons, including Emmett J. Scott, R. W. Thompson, Thomas L. Jones and Armond Scott, of Washington, H. M. St. Clair, of Cambridge, and other prominent business and fraternal men of the city, gathered at Bethel Church Monday night to honor Mr. George A. Watty, at the rounding out of eleven years of service as Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythians. After the ceremonies and speechmaking in the main auditorium, at which Mr. Watty was given a gold watch and chaln by the male branch of the Order, and a gold headed umbrella by the Court of Calanthe, a banquet with covers for 500 was held in Bethel Hall. Music was furnished by Kerr's Orchestra and the Peerless Quartette, and in addition there were soles by Miss Lillian Stewart Johnson and Mr. Nelson Tunstall. The Fythian Joint Stock Association, Mr. William E. Nelson, president, acted as hosts of the occasion and kept things moving during the whole program. ENCONIUMS MAKE WATTY BLUSH All the speakers paid their respects to the sterling worth and excellent service of Mr. Watty in fraternal and civic circles of the city. Beginning with the first on the program, Rev. George F. Bragg, who referred to the guest of honor as "genial, hearty, good natured, big, broad-broadened and physically well developed," Miss Rosa Richardson, head of the Calanthians, brought hearty applause mingled with a good laugh from the audience saying that "Mr. Watty is his friends 'early in the morning and late at night; their working clothes or wore dressed in their Sunday best. He represents his race irrespective of color." Compliments paid by Miss Richardson and succeeding speakers made Mr. Watty blush behind his coat of summer tan. LYON LAUNCHES CANDIDACY Dr. Ernest Lyon spoke of Mr. Watty's activity on all civic committees, his constructive leadership and ability in bringing things to pass. He ended his remarks by naming him as the next candidate for councilman from the 17th Ward. For a time the apaulse gave the meeting the appearance of a political gathering, but Mr. Emmett Scott brought the audience back to the proper polise again. Mr. Scott spoke of the friendship of Booker T. Washington of the late 19th century, the guest of honor. Mr. Washington used to say that "the rareest flower in the garden of life is friendship." Mr. Scott remarked that since the death of the founder of Tuskegee he had come to appreciate the truth of this sentiment, and that he had journeyed to Baltimore in the interest of a friendship begun so many years ago. INTRODUCED AT ELK'S HOUR. Armond W. Scott, grand exalted ruler of Ells, was introduced at the right time. The clock pointed to 11 o'clock exactly when he spoke to speak He paid a glowing tribute to the ability of Mr. Watty to retain at the head of his organization for so long a period and to make it such a strong factor in the fraternal life of the state. Mr. Scott brought murmurs from the crowd when he referred to Mr. Watty as "democratic." He hastened to explain that he did not mean in politics, but in being "one of the boys." Among other things he told the audience that in his opinion the fraternal organizations were doing more than the church to uplift the people. R. W. Thompson, who is an assistant in the office of Mr. Emmett Scott began by saying hudatory things of the guest of honor, but got slightly off the track and found himself making a speech on the wonderful work of Mr. Emmett Scott as aid to the Secretary of War. He so far forgot himself as to declare that Mr. Scott had done more than any one hundred men have done in the last hundred year. EDITOR RESTORES BALANCE John H. Murphy, managing editor of the Afro-American brought the meeting back to the even tenor of his ways by his reference to Mr. Watty as a hard worker and an honest man. He further characterized him as a man who not only sought advice from others but knew good advice when he saw it. The closing address was delivered by J. P. Evans, grand master of Masons of Maryland. Mr. Nelson presented the watch to Mr. Watty on behalf of the Joint Stock Association, and a member of the women's organization presented the umbrella for the Mary Magdalene Court of Calanthe. MR. WATTY RESPONDS So many good words from his friends and gifts from the Order he has presided over so long made it rather difficult for the guest of honor to say anything. He remarked that at the beginning of his speech he found himself "speechless." Mr. Watty recounted his early efforts to get the Pythian Order on a strong foundation. Looking over the audience he picked out men who had been of invaluable assistance to him and thanked them for their help and kindly feelings. Very modestly he admitted that if he had had any success at all, it had come from making friends and keeping them afterwards: "People may say that they are not my friends, but they cannot say that I am not theirs." Salisbury, Md., Sept. 24th, 1918.—The State-Wide Farmer's Exhibition and Conference, which closed here last night, was the largest and best attended exhibition which has yet been held here. The exhibits, especially those collected by the Defense Council, were of the highest order. The school exhibit was especially fine, as was also that of St. Joseph's Industrial School for Girls; the Industrial School for Girls at Melvale, and the Oblate Sisters of Providence. The agricultural exhibits were very creditable, but not as extensive as was to be expected from the fact that part of the exhibition was hard to reach; the direction of the committee, the direction of poutry was mengre, and farm animals seem not to have entered into consideration at all. In this direction, the women took more interest than the men, for their exhibition of preserves and household affairs was far more interesting. The men of the rural districts were interested especially in horse racing. This part of the exhibition was most creditable, many fine horses being shown along that line. Thursday was the big day, and it is estimated that at least six thousand persons entered the gates. Sunday was also a big day the place being crowded with vehicles of almost every kind, automobiles predominating. Dr. Ernest Lyon, Dr. A. L. Gaines, president and treasurer, respectively of the Maryland Council of Defense, Mr. H. M. Gross, secretary; Mr. J. F. and Mrs. M. A. Stewart, president and secretary respectively of the Maryland Emancipation Fair Association, are to be credited largely with the success of the enterprise. GIRL—A. W. O. L—STOCKADE William Powell, a local lad who had received special training at Atlanta University, and was ordered to France as a member of the August Replacement Draft, now sits in the Stockade at the port of Embarkation Camp Merritt, N. J. He will remain under arrest until the next transport leaves for France. Powell was among the number sent directly from the training school to the embarkation port. With a twenty-four hour leave in his pocket he reached this city and proceeded to say good by to his friends. When his leave was over he had just begun to say good by to his best girl, with the result that he had got out two hours after his company had sided for the front. He was charged with A. W. O. L. (absence without official leave). In a letter to the Afro-American, Powell says he will be on time hereafter if it kills him. OFFICERS ELECTED OFFICIAL MARKET At the time of the Silver Spring Auxiliary Literary and Beneficial Association on Wednesday evening, September 18th the following officers were installed: Mrs. Robert A. Elliott, president; Mrs. Hester Durben, vice president; Mrs. Florence Mahoney, treasurer; Mrs. Miss Jane Hammond, missouri Rigid recording secretary; Mrs. Naomi Boulm, chapman; Mrs. Elia Williams, lady-nt-arms; Mrs. Carrie Williams, assistant lady-nt-arms. The installation exercises were conducted by the Cabinet of the Silver Spring Club, assisted by which a most sumptuous collation was served during which addresses were made by the prominent members of the club, including Mr. John Albert, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. John Williams, Mr. Gould, Mr. Charles Lee, Mrs. B. The guests donated for their homes in the woe snut' hours winning the Silver Spring Auxiliary a successful year, pledging their cooperation in promoting the best interest of the Association.

Chicago, Sept. 26--Running in the annual meeting of the National A. A. U. Championships, held at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, near here, Robert Earl Johnson of Camp Upton, formerly the great, sensational marathon runner, of Baltimore, and twice winner of the Afro-American marathon race of that city, won the five mile run in the junior events on Friday afternoon. In the senior five mile event on Saturday afternoon, Johnson forced the title holder, harles Pores, THE MASTER OF THE WATER of Pelham Hall, to surpass his (Pores) own record of 25; 23-5, to defeat him. This performance of Johnson's will be especially impressive for his friends, his admirers and more particularly to the Afro-American, because of the fact that Johnson began his running career by winning the five mile marathon held under its auspices for two consecutive days at present at the army training quarters at amp Upton, and this race will probably be his last in any athletic event until after the war, as there is slight probability of any U. championships being held until then.

SPANISH FLU AT MEADE SPANISH FLU AT MEADE Colored and White Affected.-Protest unts and Catholics Speak at Y. M. C. A.—1200 from Maryland (FRANKLIN, F. JOHNSON) Camp Meade, Md., September 26.—The broadness of religion nowadays is indicated by the way Catholics and Protestants work together at various cantonments. An illustration of this was shown by Rev. J. Harry Dorsay, one of the four colored Catholic priests of the country, concluding a series of services last Sunday at Y. M. C. A. B-39, which he began eight weeks ago. Father Dorsey will begin a mission at St. Catherine's Catholic Church, Germantown, Pa., next week. The building that the Knights of Columbus intend erecting for colored soldiers is delayed on account of the shortage of military uniforms. Knights are open to colored soldiers, however, as is evidenced by the large number who visit the one at the Midway Station. Rev. J. H. Blake, of the Delaware M. E. Conference, delivered an article at Y. M. C. A. D-39 last Sunday. 1200 DRAFTEES ARRIVE More than 1,200 draftees, the last of the first class of the various points in Maryland this week. They take the places of a large number of colored soldiers who left for an unknown destination, presumably for overseas duty. Spanish influenza has caught a number of soldiers here including the colored. While large gatherings of soldiers are hanned for the present, both are colored Y. M. C. A's are still open. Relieved of $45. Crooks, Perhaps from Washington Play Old Game on Unsuspecting Woman With a voice weak from excitement and her whole body shaking with sobs, Mrs. Maggie White of 2001 New Hampshire avenue, Washington, told her strange story to an officer of the detective force in the Afro-American office last Tuesday afternoon. Two unknown men, she said, had fenced her out of her black leather bag and in addition the sum of $47, all she had in the world. Mrs. White, whose husband is in the army, came to Baltimore she said, to do some shopping, and expected to meet him later in the week at New Port, Va., to which she came from Greensville, S. C., on his war overness. On the way over to Baltimore, she was accosted by these two unknown men who scrapped an acquaintance, by alleging that she had been the one and possibly knew her husband. Outside the W. B. and A. station, one of them picked up a pocketbook. Since there was such a crowd the three of them walked up to the corner of McCullah and Eutaw streets, before they met White that it contained $600 and offered to share it with her, giving her $175. She was willing to take a part of the money, but they demanded that she give them $50 in small notes so as to pay her the one hundred dollar bill. Trusting and believing in them, she turned over her small bag and its contents of $47. The unknown men then left her on the corner to go to a friend's house to divide the money, telling her she had on the corner until they re-merged. Mrs. White waited from three o'clock until five before she realized that she had been fleeced of her money. Weeping she was led into the room where the statement to an officer of the Northwestern Station, who was called in. Fortunately she had a return ticket to Washington in a small purse, and was able, after giving her statement to take a late train back home.

Thanking you for the way you us up until this time, we remain Very truly yours THE A PYTHIANSLAY CORNERSTONE PYTHIANSLAY CORNERSTONE Nearly two thousand people gathered in and around Pythian Castle Hall, Preston and McCulloh streets, last Sunday to witness the laying of the corner-stone of the building, the unfurling of a large American flag and the raising of a Service Flag in honor of the Pythians who have entered the United States Army. The exercises were under the auspices of the Board of Directors of the Pythian Joint Stock Association, assisted by the members o the subordinate and grand lodges and courts of the Order of Knights of Pythians, and were creditable in every respect. Promptly at 3:30, Grand hancellor George A. Watty called the assemblage to order, and following prayer and singing of "America" William E. Nelson, president of the Board of Directors, in a brief address told of the objects of the meeting and presented Mr. Watty's master of ceremonies. Perhaps the most impressive part of the program was when the Commonwealth Band, under the leadership of "Star Spangled Banner," and every head was bared as he 'American flag was flung to the breeze. The entire audience joined in singing the national anthem. A number of soldiers and officers, as and as the first notes of the anthem were heard, their heels clicked together and they stood at salute until it was finished. The national address was delivered by Thomas L. Jones, of Washington, who told of the part the colored soldiers had played in the wars of the nation and said that they would be no less patriotic in the present war than in the New York war, a winner in the present war, having received more recognition in an industrial way than ever before, and he urged that the race stand by the government in its every activity. He told of the brave deeds of our boys on the French battlefront. Rev. George F. Brakk, Jr., rector of St. James P. E. Church, was also a speaker, and he emphasized the part of the musical selection in the war. Musical selections were furnished by the Commonwealth Band and the Peerless Gleeb Club. A collection of over one hundred pieces was listed, two hundred Pythian songs been called to the colors from the Jurisdiction of Maryland, and one of them, Albert Cole, of Centurian Lodge, is expected that a large number will be called in the present draft. MEN'S DAY OBSERVED. Mens Day at St. Paul M. E. church was fittingly observed last Sunday. The church was decorated with American flags and flowers. Rev. Alfred Young preached in the morning, his subject being "What is Man?" The Brotherhood choir of Ames M. E. Church conducted a sacred concert in the afternoon, assisted by Misses. Florence Ashton, Annie Osborne and Mrs. Jessie S. Collick, of St. Paul's choir. Mr. Thomas Kelson directed the concert. Mr. James Green read an interesting paper on "Giving" at the evening service and the sermon was preached by the pastor. The attendance was large at each service. Others who spoke were Rev. A. J. Mitchell and Mr. C. C. Jennings. The services were under the auspices of the Brotherhood on the church and the proceeds went to make the last payment on the beautiful organ. Rev. S. A. Virgil is pastor of the church. ANNUAL FAMILY DAY. Annual family day was observed at the People's Church Sunday. Pastor Browne gave an excellent talk in the morning and in the afternoon, Rev. R. J. Wingling, of Chicago, preached a fine sermon. In the evening, reopening of the Young People's League was held. At night, Rev. Samuel Aquila preached. Two person connect dothenselfs with the church. On Monday night Rev. Alfred Young preached "the Sermon." The place was packed for the doors and many had to be turned away. The offering at this service was $35.04.

Oxfor 1 S DR'IGS INDIAN AND NEGRO TROOPS DO STUNTS With the American Army on the Lorraine Front, September 20-All branches of the cosmopolitan person- nel of the American Army are acqui- ting themselves with unusual merid whenever called upon. This applies to Americans, regardless of the cau- dity of their skins. One American patrol, composed exclusively of full-blooded Indians, has been doing particularly effective work west of the Moselle. Adopting the tactics of their ancestors they are locating scores of enemy machine nests, killing or capturing the gun crews and bringing in the machine guns, to be turned on the enemy. CAPTURE ENEMY WITH PICKS CAPITOL During an American attack on the northern flank of the front six Negroes employed in laboring detachments, wandered through the forest in an effort to get a better view of the battle. Suddenly, they came upon a detachment of 20 Germans. The Negroes had no weapons save picks and shovels, but they charged and the Germans surrendered. The Negroes marched proudly to the rear with their prisoners. CHANGE OF MEETING PLACE At a meeting of the executive committee of the State Teachers' Association held in Baltimore, Md., September 24th, 1918, it was decided to librize the next three volumes of November 30th, 30th in Baltimore City instead of Cambridge, Md. as had been previously intended. It is hoped that a large number of teachers will visit themselves, of the opportunity to hear them to hear the noted speakers who will appear on the program. Cloe B. Murphy, secretary; Prof. D. S. S. Goodlow, chairman of executive committee. WHO'S WHO IN BAIT/MORE MR. E. J. CRANE, Watch Maker.
