SNOWDEN CASE TO BE APPEALED The Illness of Judge Duncan has Been the Cause of the Delay. DR. STEPTEAU'S STATEMENT Everything to be Done to Save Prisoner Who is believed to be Innocent. Publication of the preliminary decket of the Court of Appeals for the October term, in which no mention is made of John Snowden's appeal from the lower court, caused fear in many quarters that the record will not be filed within the required time, and that in such event the prosecution will ask the governor to sign the death warrant. Snowden was condemned last spring by Judge Duncan in the lower court for murder of Lottie Brandon, white. The evidence against him was circumstantial, and a felling arose in the minds of many that he was innocent, Dr. C. H. Stepeau, of Allen A. M. E. Church, of this city, who has worked as chairman of a committee of citizens to raise and dispense a fund for the defense of Snowden, and an appeal in his case, was in Annapolis during the week to consult with the attorney handling the case. CASE WILL COME UP Following his return from Annapolis Dr. Steptan made public the certificate of Judge Duncan, who sat in the original case, setting forth reasons why the case is not in the Appellate court at this time and relieving the attorney for the defense or the appellant from responsibility in the delay. Judge Duncan explained that he was away from the court by reason of illness from July 15th to September 15th. In a written statement of Lawyer A. T. Brady, for the defense, directed to Dr. Steptan, Brady says there is no doubt in his mind that the Appellate Court will consider the certificate of Judge Duncan favorably and hear and decide the case on its merits and the points of law raised. APPEAL WILL COST MONEY "The only question now remaining to be looked after is the financial one." Brady's statement continues, "and that will have to be attended to at once. I have in hand from monies received and not expended $285, and a bill from the Baltimore County Court for the transcript of the Record, amounting to $225. "I cannot at this time give you any idea how much more will be required to pay for the printing of the record for the Court of Appeals, but provisions must be made to meet that expense when it is figured out by the clerk. "I will therefore ask you to call together your committee, submit this letter and make arrangements for that expense." DR. STEPTEAU'S STATEMENT Dr. Steptheau stated to the representative of the Afro-American that "we are doing all we can at present. The case will come up in this term of the court according to the attorney and the judge. I hope the members of the Committee will be ready to respond to the next call, notices of which will be given in the local papers." —Duy A Liberty Bond— New York. Oct. 2—W. E. D. Bois- Hutchins B. Bishop and James Wel- don Johnson, constituting a temporary committee appointed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, have sent invitations to thirty-three of the leading people of the country to dine as guests of the committee at the Lybli, this city, Saturday night. October 19th. The dinner will be followed by a conference on the advisability of or- ganizing a committee of three, hun- dred for the purpose of holding in Augu- s1919, a solemn and dignified commemoration of the landing of the Negroes at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619. "We feel," the Invitation says, "that in the present crisis of the world's history a commemoration of this sort if suitably carried out by a national committee representing all the interests of the Negro race would be a means of bringing our wrongs, our accomplishments and our aspirations prominently before mankind."

WILSON RECEIVES RACE COMMITTEE National Race Congress Delegates Get a Hearing at White House Washington, October 2- The third session of the National Race Congress which is open here this morning in the Metropolitan Wesley A. M. Zion Church is far reaching and will be helpful to the race. The meeting was held to protest against lynching and mob violence and to discuss the conditions looking forward to the betterment of the race. In the afternoon President Woodrow Wilson received the delegation in the White House, and assured them that he stood ready to do all his power for human liberty, and urged those present to be patient as the things desired could not be accomplished in a day. The reception was cordial and without a bite. The delegation was headed by Dr. H. Jernagin, president and vice president L. N. Hirsch, vice president, while Attorney William H. Harrison, of Oklahoma, one of the best known lawyers in the country was the spokesman. But before his address, the Rev. J. C. Austin, of Pittsburgh offered a special prayer, Mr. Harrison said. WILSON AS BIG BROTHER "Mr. President, twelve millions faithful, courageous, patriotic, loyal and liberty loving American citizens are your debtors for this conference. These twelve million American citizens realize and recognize the fact that these are the most critical times as well as the busiest times of your eventual life. They recognize the fact that since this nation entered the great world's war the human tragedy of all times, the nations of the world are wont to look at and regard you as the big brother of all the earth. "The nations of the world recognizing your far atheistic sound judgment, humanitarian heart and comprehensive statismism are giving you the last words in all international matters and for that reason the visit of these representatives must of necessity be a trick." COLOR SIGN OF PATRIOTISM "We represent the only race of earth whose color is prima facia evidence of its patriotism and its loyalty and we represent the only race of earth that has no German promulganda among them, no traitors, no alien enemies and no spies. We came to reassure you as a matter of repetition that we are with you and with your every utterance directed to winning the great world's war and bringing democracy to the oppressed of earth. We are with you at home on this continent and we are with you "over there" over there, our boys have passed the baptism of God. Golgotha has the baptism of fire. Our Golgotha's height and some of them have been crucified on the cress of autocracy that democracy might have life and have it more abundantly. ASK MAN'S CHANCE "We come, Mr. President, to ask, on behalf of these twelve millions that they be given a man's chance in all of the constitutional rights guaranteed in the constitution to them by the federal constitution and the constitutions to them several states. We have observed and now call your attention to the fact that discrimination on account of race and color and segregation and Jim Crowism are practiced in some of the departments of state assisting us in winning this great world war. We cannot think that you are advised to such discriminatory treatment and that the mere calling your attention to the fact is sufficient to have the same remedy. WANT J. C. STOPPED "We believe in the right of trial by jury, we are certain that Jim Crowism and mob violence are un-American, un-American and are wrong and on account of these twelve million American citizens we pray the exercise of your good offices to the end that Jim Crowism, mob violence and any other wrong that tends to hinder us as a racial unit, not only be discouraged but stumped." "Thanking you for this conference on behalf of these twelve million, we are very grateful." —Buy A Liberty Bond— MISS SLOWE NOW "LADY-' PRINCIPAL Miss Lucy D.

Buy a Liberty Bond On Sale at the Afro-American Office Boys Wear AIFO Out—Only Two Papers For Five Hundred Boys—Local Lad Writes to the Afro-American. Camp Sevier, S. C., September 30.—Baltimore boys are down here in the South, where the black man has no show whether he is here for a good cause or not. The people do not respect him at all. The M. P. (Military police) amuse themselves by shooting at them whenever they catch them in Greenville, S. C., three miles from Camp. Military police also keep on shooting people who insist on their rights, and they have sent many a one to the base hospital as a rule the roughest class are the M. P., the better class of whites do not want the job. 3000 CASES OF FLU It is a common thing to see them bringing in men shot trying to escape from camp, which is under quarantine now and will be for the next thirty days. There are three thousand and cases among the white and colored boys stationed here. A number of southern boys arrived here last week just in time to be quarantined. They are a sorrowful bunch, for they are so close to home and cannot get a furrow. Baltimore boys are standing it very well. Two of them are in the hospital Corporal Alfred street, 752 W. Saratoga street and Arthur Bowle, 1218 Street. They are improving and may be out any day now. NURSES FROM NORTH ALL RIGHT NOUSES FROM NORTH ALL RIGHT We have to give it to the Red Cross nurses. They are kind to the colored soldiers. They are from the North and that has something to do with it. Sixty of them left for overseas last week, and the boys were afraid that southern white women would come in their place. As good luck would have it, they didn't. Only two of the boys get the Afro-American regularly. You can imagine what a time the boys have passing these two papers among five hundred men. When the papers come back they are about worn out.

The following telegram has been received here by Mr. George Monday of the Ohio State University from the War Department at Washington: "The War Department has not issued any instructions preventing Negro students from joining Student Army Training Corps at Ohio State University or any other institution.

Plans were made for the National Convention to be held in Norfolk, Va., next year and the Sunday School Congress for 1919. E. P. Jones is president. The National Baptist Convention, E. C. Morris, president, received a reply to its telegram, to Secretary of War Baker commending the appointment of Emmett J. Scott. The reply states "The services of Mr. Scott have been inscrutable helpful to the Secretary." The Equal Rights League, which met recently at Chicago, appointed a committee to wait on the President and to recommend a measure to remove color prejudice at the end of the war. Lemon Wood, and Hanson Cousins soldiers, will be tried by the Norfolk Va., courts for inciting riot, unless the government steps in to take them out of local court's jurisdiction. It is suggested that the Norfolk station houses especially those in the colored district provide themselves with machine guns in addition to the riot shot-guns—two or three to each station. Regular policemen should be instructed to handle them as a protection against colored mobs. Report has reached here that a "Y" secretary in a hut at New Port News has been transferred to another camp for speaking out too plainly against segregation in the Y. M. C. A. A. Y. M. C. a secretary at Newport News reports that it is a common thing for regiments transferred to his camp from Camp Dix or other camps in the North to have their non "Coms" reduced to privates and have whites substituted. This state of affairs has been called to the attention of the War Department, and there is hope of relief. Two colored officers launched at the Lafayette Club in Paris not long ago. They were the first to appear in the club and got off without feeling insulted. The British have native officers in the army, but their rankings white parallel are of different designations, and the youngest white subaltern outruns the oldest black officer. None of them and none of the French Moroccan have appeared at the club. According to a report of the War Department, Walter Washington of New Orleans was the first American fighter to set foot on French soil. Washington registered June 6, 1917, and sailed on the first transport. Fifteen colored men sent a letter to Chairman Hurley of the Shipboard alleging unfair treatment. The letter states: Although a large number of Negroes were allowed to enter the training school at Hog Island to learn shipbuilding and riveting, they were not permitted to go to work at these trades after completing the required course. Instead, it is claimed, they were put to work as laborers. The Negroes contend that, although a shortage of skilled shipworkers exists at Hog Island, a Negro mechanic will not be employed. At a mass meeting at Arkansas Industrial College, (M. E.) Bishop R. A. Carter of Atlanta, raised $8,200 for education and missions. Several hundred workers were brought to Newport News from the Bahama Islands (Nassau) last week. More unskilled laborers will be brought from Porto Rica and from the Bahamas to the number of several thousand, the Department of Labor announces, as soon as ships are available. SOUTHERN SENATORS DEFY PRESIDENT WILSON On Account of Race Prejudice Woman's Suffrage Bill is Defeated in the Upper House of Congress COLORED WOMEN ARE SAID TO BE MORE OFFENSIVE THAN COLORED MEN President's Appeal For Measure as a War Necessity Does Not Move Copperheads. (Special, Correspondence) Washington, D. C., October 2—The bitter light in the Senate of the United States over the Susan E. Anthony suffrage amendment came to an end late yesterday with the final vote standing 53 to 21. Sixty-four votes were needed for the amendment before it could be passed. course, we all know that the very large majority of both classes are incapable of voting intelligently, and that comparatively few Negro men now vote at all. WILLIAMS—GEORGIA Mr. Williams of Georgia introduced an amendment calculated to allow suffrage to white women only. It was The amendment came to the Senate some months ago after being passed by the House of Representatives. Could it have passed the Senate, it would then be submitted to the State Legislatures, and finally become an amendment to the federal Constitution when passed by two-thirds of them. FIGHT STARTED THURSDAY The debate on the amendment started last Thursday, and grew warm at the Saturday session. There was a session of the Senate on Friday, Monday President Wilson himself got into the fight and from the floor of the national body made an appeal to the senators to pass the amendment as a war measure. The president said: "Mr. adoption is 'm' my judgment, clearly necessary to the prosecutor' of the war and the successful realization of the objects for which the war is being fought." The name of President Wilson's strong appeal, senators, some of whom the President accused recently of not supporting his war measures, continued the fight, and refused to budge an inch toward complying with President's wishes. OUTSERS MAINLY SOUTHERN-ERS The senators, who are holding out against the President, are doing so for four Negro women may be allowed to vote in the South in large numbers. Some New Englanders are also opposing the measure, following their usual conservative policy. Debate was outspoken and many harsh things were said of the colored people, male and female. A single senator came out in solid defence of the Negro amid the mud sifting, Senator Shafroth of Colorado. Senator France voted for the Amendment. Senator Smith voted aggressively against it. COLORIDED WOMEN OFFENSIVE The following are excerpts from some of the speeches: VARDANIAN—SOUTH CAROLINA In reality there can be no worldwide democracy in the true sense of the term as long as liberty has her favorites and justice is dispensed by the hand of partiality. "I was in hopes that the white men of the South would appreciate the necessity for prompt, effective action in treating the race problem and unite in an effort to eliminate the Negro as a race from politics by law before woman should be invited to take part actually in the government of the Republic. I also understand that the Negro woman will be more offensive, more difficult to handle at the polls than the Negro man, for "verily the female of that species is more deadly than the male." But when I realize that five white women will be added to the electorate where only two or three Negro women can possibly be brought to the ballot box, the difficulties are minimized—the antidote will neutralize the poison." BANSDELL—LOUISIANA "Some of our southern friends insist that there is grave danger in giving Negro women the right to vote, and for that reason they oppose the Federal amendment, while willing for women to vote under State laws. I cannot believe there is such a message from this source as warrants the whole Nation in refusing to adopt the suffrage amendment to the Federal Constitution. In my judgment the situation as to Negro women can be hounded as has been done with Negro men for the past 25 years." FLETCHER-GEORGIA "The fifteenth amendment was a mistake, and it is so recognized by other sections of the country. I do not believe we remedy that by repeating it." McKELLAR—TENNESSEE "The government has already set the executive order to vote, and I have known Negro men and Negro women very well in my part of the country, and I think that the Negro women are equally as capable of voting: as Negro men.

It was defeated Monday. Senator Smith of Maryland voted for Williams' amendment. "The amendment which I have offered is a very simple one. It merely inserts the word white before the word person, and thus gives white women the suffrage, leaving any State that chooses to extend it to Negro women or not so to extend it, whichever may be to its best and highest interest. If so amended it would secure white supremacy and the supremacy of the White man's civilization and his social institutions for all time to be common cause. If so amended it would under it and the other women could not unsee the people of a given State in the civilization of the United States. Chinese women born in America may Japanese women upon the Pacific slope vote under my amendment either, unless voluntarily vested with the privilege by the people of the States on the slope. "I love the President, but I can not see for the life of me what Ludendorf and Hindenburg and the Bulgarians and Turks in Macedonia and Palestine can have to do with the right of Negro women to vote in the State of Mississippi." In the way. Mr. President, I hope you see me say 'Negroes' and not 'niggers.' SHEPHERD—TENAS "It is universally admitted that the participation of women in elections has had a beneficial and uplifting effect in both the States of Arkansas and Texas. Neither has the fact of their voting accentuated the race problem in any way or added to its dangers. On the contrary, we feel that we are enormously benefited in having the added intelligence of white women to help us handle that problem." PHELAN-CALIFORNIA "The black race is the greatest obstacle today in this body to woman suffrage. There can be no democracy where there is no equality; and there is but a feeble democracy possible in those States which have upon their back a large non-assimilable and ignorant population. It is a grave and serious menace to the South, unless the South by education develop the men and women of that race and make them worthy of citizenship. Negroes cultivate the plantations; to that extent they are welcomed; and when they sought to run away to employment, more remunerative in the shipyards than year the South called them to come back. When we went to war there was no hesitation in recruiting our troops from among the Negroes." THE CLIMAX WILLIAMS, MISS. SHEFROTH, COL. Mr. Williams. I have known the and in the Senate. We have been friends, and very close friends. Mr. Shafroth. Very close friends. Mr. Williams. Would the fact if white women alone were enfranchised weaken this amendment in the mind of the Senator from Colorado himself? Mr. Shafroth. Yes; I believe that you could not get a measure of that kind through. Mr. Williams. That is not the question I asked the Senator. I asked another in his opinion it would weaken in Mr. Shafroth. Yes; I think it would. I think we must recognize democracy. That is what you have got to do, and you must recognize it in everybody. 1944 SOLDIER EXECUTED San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 23. —The nineteenth and last of the soldiers paid the penalty for the Houston Uprising at daybreak today.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1918 PULPIT AND PEW BISHOP BECKETT PREACHES Bishop William W. Beckett, who has charge of the South African work of the A. M. E. Church, spent Saturday and Sunday as the guest of his son-in-law and daughter, Rev. and Mrs. M. H. D. Davis, of 624 George street. The prelate had been living in his home and was invited to his home and was, S. C. He preached at St. John A. M. E. Church last Sunday morning and evening. In conversation with a representative of the Age-American, Bishop Beckett said that reports received from South Africa had indicated that the work of the A. M. E. Church in that section was in good shape, despite the world war. He exhibited plans for a new church in Cape Town. Should war conditions permit, he said he expected to return to South Africa about the first of the year. He visited his work there about two years ago, going to South Africa on a sponsorship Gahway Castle. This was south about a month ago, 700 passengers losing their lives. CHERCH WORK FLOORHING CHURCH WORK FOLLOWSING During the few months that Rev. Monroe H. Davis has been pastor at St. John's A. M. E. Church, the attendance has greatly increased and over one hundred new members added. The collections have averaged more than $299 each Sunday. The pastor preached at Bethlehem Church on Wednesday evening of last week, and his congregation gave $70 toward the big rally fund of that church. The congregation of St. Paul M. E. Church, Saratoga street near Carrollton avenue, is in the midst of a raid to raise $1800, the proceeds of which will be used in purchasing large lots in the area reserved for the past two years and used, rent free, by the church in its social and recreational activities. A large storage house concern recently began negotiations to buy the lot, as well as the one on the west side of the church. As the creation of a warehouse on the lot would have completely shut out light from the church, the pastor, Rev. S. A. Virgil, and his members, got busy and closed out the deal for the plot of ground at a less figure than had been offered. BAPTIST BOARD MEETS The Executive Board of the Mt. Bethel Baptist Association met on Wednesday, September 25, 1918, at Mt. Carnel Baptist Church, Washington, D.C. A very helpful and encouraging meeting was held and much was accomplished in the way of planning work for the ensuing year. A committee of ladies from the Woman's Anxiliary was present and the unfinished business with that auxiliary was satisfied and adjusted. A board member passed on the board commanding the work accomplished by the women last year, and pledging their support and cooperation for this year. Y. M. C. A.

All he asked in payment steady company for the evening. His friend tear him from our company, but we were the ones he had searched for—no longer men telling jokes and playing pranks as in their childhood days." Speaker Champ Clark of the House remarked committee that called on him, that these were the best organized forces in the country, but it is easy to see why they are unabandon for so long a time, and why bootlegging cannot be stopped now. Thru the newspapers, the public has been given notion of the REPUTATION of the public mind, and they think they know them very well it is not difficult to agree with Mr. Whitney the CHARACTER—what they are in their hearts—"oows." There is a heap of difference between reputation and character. The former is what someone thinks of you, while the latter is what you really are. This is about what Salem Tutt Whitney, the leading actor in the Smarter Set Company meant when he wrote to the Indianapolis Freeman last week: "We are known to others by our reputation, but God alone knows what is in our hearts." Mr. Whitney is something of a philosopher, and the best way to judge as to whether or not his conclusions are correct is to follow two of his recent experiences. After leaving Baltimore Mr. Whitney with his company entertained the members of a Philadelphia millionaire club at Morelton Inn. Present were members of the Cabinet, House of Representatives and Senate. Absent, all newspaper reporters. Let Mr. Whitney here speak for himself: Imagine our surprise to see these mighty men of business and the nation's affairs romp and play like truant school boys. They sang, they danced, they yelled in happy abandon. We nearly fainted when we saw the Speaker of the House of Representatives walk the length of the table, regardless of cut glass, or fragile chinaware, stepping in plates of scientifically prepared foods, amid the uproarious yells of his fellows. Such things are not unusual or uncommon. Mr. Whitney would have us believe, for he continues: "Again we entertained at the Union League Club the most exclusive club in the world. Present at this occasion was one of our greatest ship builders. He had drunk himself into a state of harmless and inoffensive hilarity. He insisted upon hanging around our neck; we were the best fellows he had ever met. He could not make us drink so he poured the wine down our back and went into hysterics of laughter when it ran from the bottom of our pants legs. He shared with us his imch, his cigars, and the change he had in his pockets. All he asked in payment was our steady company for the evening. His friends tried to tear him from our company, but we were the companions he had searched for—no longer men but boys, telling jokes and playing pranks as in their glorious childhood days." Speaker Champ Clark of the House remarked last year to a local committee that called on him, that the prohibition forces were the best organized forces in the country. They may be, but it is easy to see why they are unable to get prohibition for so long a time, and why bootlegging in the capital city cannot be stopped now. Thru the newspapers, the public has been getting for years some notion of the REPUTATION of the public men above mentioned, and they think they know them very well indeed. After all it is not difficult to agree with Mr. Whitney that as to their CHARACTER—what they are in their hearts—"only God alone knows." THE ALARMED SOUTH Southern statesmen or better said, southern every much alarmed over the turn things have entry during the war. No one has ever accused, during twenty-seven different ways to oppose the debate over Woman's Suffrage in the Semiother evidence of how they get about it. Suffrage for woman was opposed by many so use the amendment in its form at present would red women to vote as well as white. Even states, of Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama colored voters could not approximate the num Southern statesmen or better said, southern politicians, are very much alarmed over the turn things have taken in this country during the war. No one has ever accused them of sloth in figuring twenty-seven different ways to oppress the Negro, and the debate over Woman's Suffrage in the Senate last week is another evidence of how they get about it. Suffrage for woman was opposed by many southerners because the amendment in its form at present would permit many colored women to vote as well as white. Even in the black belt states, of Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama, the number of colored voters could not approximate the number of white voters, because of the various kinds of disqualifications placed in the way of the colored voters. Senators in debate admitted that educational tests, poll taxes, property qualifications and shot gun intimidation on election day, to say nothing of the "grandfather clause"—all were used to make it advisable for the "colored voter to go fishing on election day" rather than to the polls. Senator Hardwick of Georgia stated that his state did not have educational tests for fear too many white people would be disfranchised. Instead they substituted the "grandfather clause" which allowed the voting privilege to the descendent of any person who had done military service or himself performed military service. Before the present war southern Negroes were not allowed to volunteer for military service, but in this war thousands of colored men from the south have been drafted. Senator Hardwick said: "We have drafted impartially from the male population of the South, and if the war lasts long we will draft hundreds of thousands, and it may be a million or more Negroes of voting age in the South, who will go into the service of the country under the Stars and Stripes and to France. When they come back, under our own State constitution, the only ones we could write under the Constitution of the United States, they come back as fully enfranchised as any white voter in any one of the States, and they come back exempt from the educational tests and the property tests of the States of the South." Being a soldier will keep the southern Negro from ever being disfranchised. Southern politicians see this coming and they shudder. they shudder. The majority of Americans are not only going to see to it that the soldiers have political rights but all the rights of Americans. The possibility of this is not lost on Senator Hardwick, who said: "This question is going to be revived with redoubled force, because honest but impracticable men in the North and West are going to insist after the war is over that the black men from the South who went to France and who stood under the Stars and Stripes and risked their lives in their country's cause are entitled to the same rights—personal, political, social, and everything else—in the South or anywhere else in this Republic that any white man is entitled to. I can see the force, the tremendous driving force, of that sort of an appeal upon people who have not any considerable number of Negroes among them." On this whole matter Senator Hardwick represents the South admirably. The fears that are his are real and not fancied. The whole bunch of cracker representatives in Congress are constantly harping on their belief that the 15th Amendment to the Constitution was a mistake. Maybe it was in 1864, but not in 1919. There is no room for argument on this score. The majority of Americans believe with Senator Shafroth: "You must recognize democracy, and you must recognize it for everybody." As the southerners figured it out, there will be many thousands of colored voters added to the books after the war. To allow colored women to vote also will double the number. Colored folk would wield a balance of power, white supremacy would be threatened, etc. etc. The personal appeal of the President, who as chief executive is responsible for the successful prosecution of the war, mattered little to them. They belong to the type of people who put their prejudices first and the welfare of their country second. This is the class of politician that the President wants kept out of the halls of Congress. His influence has settled the political career of Vardaman, Hardwick and Blease, and last week's debate shows him others who are more ornamental than useful, more prejudiced than patriotic, more welcome at home than in Congress. NOT DISAPPOINTED Writing from the front to Mr. Emmott Scott of the War Department, the white commanding officer of a colored regiment answers two questions. He states them: "First: How will American Negro soldiers, including commissioned officers (of whom I still have five), get along in service with French soldiers and officers—as for instance a Negro regiment of Infantry serving in a French combat division?" "Second: Will the American Negro stand up under the terrible shell fire of this war as he has always stood under rifle fire and thus prove his superiority spiritually and intellectually to all the black men of Africa and Asia, who have railed under these conditions and whose use must be limited to attack or for shock troops?" Of course there could be but one answer to the first question. From the many letters received in this city, we know that our boys are getting on splendidly with their French comrades, better that they get on with the American whites. The letter gives the added information that there is no racial feeling between French white officers and colored officers, altho there is some scepticism that a colored man—judging by those they have known before—could have technical education to make an efficient officer. The second question too was answered entirely according to expectations. Under shell fire the colored troops "laughed and read newspapers." The white commander admits them to be "the most stoical and mysterious men" he has ever seen. The French officers say they are entirely different from the African and Indian troops of the British, who are so excitable under shell fire. More than this when "Captain Clark, colored, of this same regiment called for twelve volunteers for a raid, the company fell in to the last man—all wanted to go—and he had to pick his twelve after all." In 1865 Major General Butler said to the colored troops of the Army of the James: "Your patriotism, fidelity and courage have illustrated the best qualities of manhood." Since then, and it ought not to surprise anyone, we have been going forward, not backward. Save Sugar, Children! "Good bye till after the war" FOR THE CHILDREN IN BELGIUM AND FRANCE A Penny here means a Burn Over their From The Trenches SUGGESTS BONDS FOR CARDIAL/CELLEBRATE HERO'S My regiment is in the Trenches and have been for sometime. Of course after landing here our boys had to be given French equipment and instructions in French warfare; the use of hand grenades, the machine gun, the automatic rifle, etc. after the training they went into the trenches. The sectors in which they have been, have been more or less quiet; hence our casualties have been small. Each sector is just a little bit worse than the former one. The quiet sectors are mostly for training. My Regiment has been lucky so far. Our ration train has been frequently shelled on its way up to the trenches with food for the boys, but only one man has been hurt. What General Pershing said about the low casualty rate among colored soldiers is true. Our boys have been under fire and have deported themselves splendidly. We are in a French Division and our Cammeers have received two citations or compliments from the French officials for the excellence of their work in a surprise raid. SHAKES HANDS WITH PERSHING Speaking of General Perling reminds me to say that General Pershing reviewed our troops and said that he had the highest regard for the colored troops because you could always count upon them. I had the great pleasure of shaking hands with this distinguished American for the first time and of exchanging a few words of greeting with him. I also met at the same time a French officer in the person of General Linder. The First Separate Battalion of Washington, D. C. had the honor of holding perhaps the most famous hill in France. A hill where every brave soldier would love to go and standing alongside the first Battalion of General is Major Edwin Payton from the 15th New York Regiment, formerly a distinguished writer on military subjects. I may add that Major Harries the son of Brigadier General Harries, is the commander of the Second Battalion of our Regiment. GERMANS GOOD AS SPIES It is interesting to notice how the Boch mind works. The Boch play all sorts of tricks. They send up our signals for our Artillery fire. They bring up a relief if if they were coming to relieve our troops. They come up to our Trenches and yell "gas," and every man who acts in accordance with this alarm is out of luck. Quite often too a German aviator will come over into France and leave a German spy who speaks French and is dressed in a French uniform. And he has to get back to Germany by being picked up later on by the aviators. I have met quite a few fellows in this regiment whom I have known before in Washington. I have met fellows over here also in other regiments whose acquaintance I have made since being in the army; at Camp Mudee. There are men in this regiment from Washington, Maryland, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Tennessee and Georgia. I am very much pleased with the successes of the French, British, Italian, and American Armies. DUTIES OF A CHAPLAIN And the duties of a chaplain. The chaplain in the American Army is a very busy man. Each chaplain has a specific and definite task to perform. I may say here that I am the first colored American chaplain to land in France. At present I am the Regimental Censor of the mail; also the statistical officer for the regiment. I make a report of all casualties and The plan of local Catholics to present Cardinal Gibbons $50,000 worth of Liberty Bonds on the fifteenth anniversary of his consecration as a bishop is a deserved tribute to the eminent prelate. It is a matter which should appeal to the colored people of Maryland also, Catholic and Protestant. Cardinal Gibbons has proved himself a friend of the race in a number of instances. It was in his diocese that colored priests have been educated. His letter opposing the first distranchishment amendment contributed in no small degree to its defeat. He is said to have opposed "Jiminerov" cars in Maryland. He has been sympathetic and helpful to the colored Catholics of Maryland. Surely the colored people should inflict their interest by presenting him Liberty Bonds, which he will use and have been countless other funds entrusted to his care—for the betterment of humanity. F. F. JOHNSON Buy A Liberty Bond "What Shall the Nations Do Wit?" the Kaiser? To the Editor— In the American of September 23, S. W. Hammers, of Gettysburg asks the above question. It would be insisting to the Kaiser's dignity to shoot him, or take him around for a show. To make the world safe from him and at the same time allow him to preserve his dignity as monarch of all his surveys, put him on an island. At the same time, for safety sake to the world, and for something to keep him company and to ruler over, give him 20,000 of his war gods; but carefully let no women go with the party.

I see to it that the grave plots are kept up, and they are kept looking as nice as things in the Stats. I also conduct two religious services a week and bury the dead. I see to it that the men get their mail, and also that they write home. As regimental censor I have charge of the mail department. I have a mail servant two corporals. As statistical officer I have three soldiers as clerks. There is need of three chapulins in each regiment especially those at the front; but they cannot get to chapulins. Every servant in the advance garment more or less in constant danger, either from the machine guns, or rifles, or grenade, or artillery or bombs. There is no such thing as security. First Sergeant Willard Johnson of Battery C 351st F. A. says that his guns were the second to open on the booches in the recent offensive. A part of his letter to the Misses Cook of this city is as follows: Today (August 24th) I am writing to let you know that the first shots of this regiment were fired about 10 a.m., and of course our battery was second to have the distinction of being the first two colored heavy artillery batteries to fire. Something to be proud of, don't you think? The boys of the regiment have qualified in every respect, and to see them handle the guns, you would think they had 10 or 12 years active service." OUT TO CRUSH KAISERISM Corporal W. B. Miles writes Some that the boys in France are out to crush Kaiserism and "rest content it will be doze." He promises each of his friends a Prussian souvenir on his return. He is with Company G, 368th Infantry. WANTS CHEER FROM HOME Maurice E. Swann with the 351 F. A. writes his aunt that he has plenty to eat, to wear, and plenty of good treatment except where white Americans enter the towns before they do. He craves letters from home as the only means of cheering him up when he gets in the dumps. Mail routes must be choked for he received very few letters since arriving in France.

They seem to have some quality lacking in the white man which enables them to shirk and crawl across No Man's Land in a way that defies detection. But the Negroes never lose their latent superstition and fear of the dark. Without their officers to support them morally, their value is said to deteriorate quickly. They "see things" with ease. Let the average Negro soldier hake and be forced to lie down for a time, and he goes to sleep almost immediately, unless he is forcibly kept awake. The leaders of at least one regiment have had to adopt a plan whereby all the members of a patrol when they lie down join hands, with the officer at one end. He keeps the squad awake then by pressing the hand of the man next to him, who repeats the pressure to his right of left and receives an answering pressure as evidence that his companions are awakened. Nevertheless, the Negroes are always ready for a fight. One regiment had begged its way into a portion of the line where action was assured in the last German offensive, and action suddenly began. Five of officers of that regiment alone were hospital, but heard a few hours in advance of what was coming. The colonel left the hospital on crutches, two her officers were cared to the trenches on litters and two more hobbled in—so as to be with their men and be assured they gave a good account of themselves. They did Warblings of Willie "My Zep's in the air" And my sub's in the bay. My heart's full of care "Cause they're both there to stay." An Undefined Expression.

GOVERNOR NOT TO PARDON RAPIST Evans To Die For Brutal Assault On Fourteen Year Old Girl GOVERNOR SENDS ANSWER Letter From Harrington Reveals Details of Harrowing Crime. Annapolis, September 29.—A letter of inquiry addressed to Governor Harrington asking for facts in the Evans case, and praying clemency if clemency were warranted brought out the clear facts as to the guilt of the accused. Governor Harrington says that rape is punishable no matter what the reputation of accuser, and further he believes in capital punishment for one crime only and that is rape. A part of his letter is as follows: 49 Cornell street, Annapolis, Md. Dear Sir; "In reply to your letter of the 12th instant will state that I am not surprised at the receipt of your letter or at the fact that a great many of the colored people desire that Evans' life be spared. I have had considerable experience with criminal work, both as prosecutor and with the defense, and I know as a rule the colored people stand by people of their own race, even though it be against one of their own number. "I note what you say about girls enticing men for immoral purposes and when caught in a suspicious position resort to any scheme to effect their innocence. This is possible, and is true perhaps in more than one case, but in my opinion there are more men who entice girls by far than girls who entice girls. Besides, this case bears no similarity to that condition whatever. "The undisputed fact in this case is that Evans had carinal knowledge or intercourse with the young girl, and that the young girl was only 14 years of age. The fact is undisputed. Evans adults it himself, but says anybody else could have done the same thing for a quarter. "That is, this is the story told me by his counsel which his counsel says Evans always told him." "On the other hand, the girl states that she and her brother, seven years old, were alone in the house, that she was preparing dinner and did not see Evans until after he entered the room. She immediately took the pan she had and put it in the safe and started to get her hat, intending to leave, but Evans grabbed her, took her into an adjoining room and fully accomplished his purpose, keeping her there for some time. After grafting his son he stood in the door with his hands across the door so she could not get out, that she jumped out the back window and ran to the home where her mother was, calling and crying for her mother, and Evans ran offer her. "Her mother testified that she heard her daughter crying coming by the lane where she was at work and she ran down to meet her daughter because she was crying, and that Evans passed her daughter and passed the gate before her daughter got to the gate; that her daughter told her what had happened, that she called Evans back and he took back and not the child's payment. The child was crying at the time and her mother told Evans she was going to have him arrested. Evans told her she would have to make the best of it and not to be foolish and that he did not care what she did. OUGHT TO PROTECT RACE "Evans left the county at once and run away, and at the trial he did not go on the stand or make any statement whatever. Therefore, as far as the trial is concerned, and the evidence at the trial, it was a pure case of rape. It is true it is rape by a colored man of a colored girl. If capital punishment is to be administration or any arling, it is rape, and I take for granted that the colored people ought to be as much interested in protecting girls of their race as white people are of theirs. At least they are entitled to the same protection under the law, and it was this that Judge Moss, without any contradictory evidence whatever, to impose the sentence of capital punishment. REPUTATION OF GIRL DOES NOT FIGURE "The question for me to decide is whether or not Judge Moss has come right. So far there has been no evidence to the contrary. They are now attacking the reputation of the girl. This may be true. I do not know. I understand the brother of Evans claims he has had connection with the girl since Evans has been sentenced to be hanged. 11 true, this would be very strange to me on both sides, because I do not believe any man in his senses, much less a brother of a man sentenced to be hanged, would be guilty of such extreme actions." "I simply wrote to let you know the circumstances or the evidence which has come to me that you as a leader of your people may see that we are trying to protect your people against wrongdoers of your own race. I am rather opposed to capital punishment except for one crime, and that is the crime of rape. very truly yours, EMERSON C. HARRINGTON" Mrs. M. Shields Duffin, of 1521 David Hill avenue left this week for her annual trip north. On her return she will be accompanied from New york by her sister, Miss L. Shields. Mrs. Jennie Mason and her three daughters daughters, the royal family of the well known caterer, Mr. Charles M. Mason, of 1139 N. Carey street, have returned from a four week trip to Atlantic City, Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Caterer Mason joined them during their last week's stay. They had a delightful trip. The report of the workers Monday evening showed that the total amount had reached the $3000 mark. Only a few men have thrown themselves in the campaign. Many churches have responded to the call of the association and it is hoped all will do something. The campaign will end when the money is in hand. Some of the work has been delayed on account of funds. Every dollar counts and every dollar helps. The date for the dedication will be set'when the MONEY IS IN SIGHT.

Among the jobs for which women are particularly adapted the following are listed by the War Labor Policies Board: Clerical and easier service, accounting in manufacturing, mercantile and financial establishments and in the ones of transportation companies and other public utilities, sales clerks and door walkers in mercantile establishments, including department stores specialty stores, shoe stores, men's furnishing stores, florist's shops, jewelry stores, drug stores and soda fountains. On the other hand, the Board takes a strong position against the employment of women in places where they are likely to suffer physically or morally, as for example, barrooms, pool rooms, or in about ballets, smelters and quarries, or on furniture work in glass works. Girls under 21 years of age should not be employed for messenger as elevator operators, or in street cars, but should be employed in the armed and elevated transportation services. The recruiting of mothers of young children for war industries is to be discouraged.

Will call you if you desire DO IT FOR BABY baby's Development By Ruth Dancenhower Wilson of The Vigilantes The little human animals are very much alike in their development. It is helpful for a mother to learn the average times of growth, though a perfectly well, normal child often departs significantly from the average in some respects. Here are some statistics given by Dr. Hort and Dr. Kerley to show the average development. During the first week of its life a baby usually loses from four to six ounces, and after that makes a weekly gain of from four to eight ounces up to six months of age. From six months to a year a baby usually gains from two to eight ounces a week. During the second year there is a gain of seven pounds. To put it differently, the average baby weighs about seven pounds at birth, doubles the weight at five months, nearly triples it at one year of age and at two years weighs twenty-eight pounds. The fontanelle should be closed at eighteen months, surely at two years. Occasionally it will be closed at fourteen months. A baby should hold up its head during the fourth month. It should laugh out loud from the third to the fifth month. It should reach for toys and handle them from the fifth to the seventh month. It should sit up without support at seven or eight months. It should begin to creep at nine or ten months. At eleven or twelve months it should stand without aid. The first attempts at walking usually come in the twelfth or thirteenth month, and an average child can walk at eleven or eighteen month. At a year a baby usually has six teeth, at a year and a half twelve teeth, at two years sixteen teeth, and at two years and a half the full first set of twenty teeth. The new-born baby usually sleeps nine-tenths of the time, the six months old baby two-thirds of the time. At five months old a baby should sleep from 10 p. m. to 6 a. m. without a feeding. Between fifteen months and two years of age a baby should learn to sleep twelve hours at night without a feeding. Up to eighteen months or two years of age the average baby takes a map of from one to two hours morning and afternoon. After that age a baby usually takes only an afternoon map. How to Get Laundress This comes from 'Auxandria, Va. One woman, who lost her regular wash woman, sought an old mummy, friend of the family for many years, "she'll be glad to do my washing," said the woman. "Mummy," she said, "I have come to you to do my washing from now on. I know you are a good worker, and will do it better than anybody else." It was a nice little speech, calculated to please, and would have gone well—before the war. But not now. Listen: "Does you want a wash lady, honey?" smiled the mummy. "Well, honey, you jes' go straight home an look in de lookin' glass, an you'll see her." Wooden "A man's face is visible at 300 yards; you can't distinguish his features at 600 yards; at 800 yards a man looks like a post." "And some at less distance." WHAT DID SHE DO?

In Baltimore and in other large cities of the country, husbands whose wives have been engaged in some sort of occupation, got them to resign hastily when the new questionnaires for the second draft were received. It all comes about on account of the clause that puts a man in Class I, if his wife is supporting herself, and puts him in class IV, if she depends solely on him. This same clause makes the provisio that the wife has not worked in the past twelve months. This is likely to prove a stumbling block to many a rabbity. Can he swear that his wife has not worked in the twelve months past, when she just resigned-her position last week. If he takes a chance and lies in order to get in class IV, the draft officials may find it out, and then he will be sent to the front in France without delay—just like any ordinary shocker. Nevertheless this is just what is being done. Wives are dropping quietly out of work. In Washington, as well as elsewhere women are giving up their jobs and investment in the effort to keep their husbands at home. Just about now the government service is as unpopular as the Kaiser with some women folk. --- Not only the women, but the men too are having their troubles on account of this new "work or fight" order. It may seem easy they say, to get an essential occupation, but wait until you try it for yourself. The government bureau at the American Building is crowded daily with men who are finding it serious business in getting straight in a new job. Waiters, bellmen, house servants, and like workers have been told to get essential jobs and get them quick. These men are unused to pushing a heavy truck, and not accustomed to working in the factory, but proximity to moving cranes. They don't know how to keep their eyes pecked" every minute of the working eight hours for likely dangers. These men have many new things to learn. Most of them are receiving more money than they ever did before, and this is some recompense for the hard times they are having to become adjusted. A friend of mine, who until recently had an easy job as porter in a store, got out just before the new draft and went in the shiyparks in the effort to claim exemption on account of essential service. He is married, but his wife is working and self-supporting. His aged mother is practically self-supporting. This fellow is so afraid that he will be sent to camp that he tortures himself with the idea of it. Day and night have become for him a continual nightmare. To everyone he meets he tells his circumstances and asks whether they think he can get out of going to war. He says this isn't his war, etc. etc. The trouble with him is that he is an arrest coward, and he really ought "to be shot" for worrying the life out of his mother and wife as he is doing. If I knew him well enough, I would like to tell him to brace up and be a man. Worrying and stewing never helped anything. Imagination of the wrong kind is little different from remorse "Never cross a bridge until you get to let this is the kind of fellow, who will go to France and get a war cross. Not my brother, not my sister But it is me, oh Lord Standing in the need of prayer. Not the deacon, not the elder But it is me oh Lord Standing in the need of prayer. Old Negro melody. MME.

GROW LONGSTRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many co-called hair groverns on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than performed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seebey's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registrar of hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasop, Quinasop is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasop lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasop, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstreet or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you' from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.
