UNLESS MONEY IS RAISED BY PEOPLE OL MARYLAND IN SHORT TIME, SNOWDEN WILL HANG. Convicted Man, Believed Innocent, Alone in His Cell Without Spiritual Advisor—Believed That as Soon as Citizens Annapolis, Md., October 10—When Captain George W. Brown, Dr. C. E. Stewart and the editor of the Afro-American called at the Annapolis jail at 4 o'clock today, permission to see John Snowden, convicted of the murder of the Brandon woman, was denied. They learned that the condemned man is alone in his cell, and still hopeful that his case will be brought before the Court of Appeals. Intimation on the part of the sheriff that the presence of a spiritual advisor kept Snowden from making a confession brought a denial and some plain speaking from Rev. J. A. Briscoe, Snowden's appointed advisor. Rev. Mr. Briscoe has not been to see Snowden for more than a month. The convicted man, it is said, has been without spiritual comfort, except for a visit of Mrs. Briscoe for that time. VOL. XXVII. No 6. When seen as her home, Mrs. Briscoe said that three-fourths of the people believed in Snowden's innocence. She expressed her regret at the turn of affairs and told how anxious she and her husband were to do everything that could be done for the condemned man. She said they thought it best to stay away for a while so that her husband could not be accused of preventing Snowden's confession. Rev. Briscoe is somewhat indisposed with a severe cold and could not be seen. THE STATUS OF THE CASE Mrs. Briscoe, who has been elected by the people of Annapolis to the chairmanship of the committee to raise funds for Snowden's liberty, produced a bill for $875, the cost of printing the record of the cast as tried at Towson. The appeal from the decision of the lower court was filed with the Court of Appeals last week. Mrs. Briscoe said, but the record must be printed and paid for before the case can come up in the Court of Appeals. FAILURE TO RAISE MONEY WILL HANG SNOWDEN. Unless this amount of money is forthcoming in time to get the case to Court in this October term, the appeal will be thrown out and Snowden executed without delay. Mrs. Briscoe said that the prosecution is active and alert, watching every opportunity to have the sentence of the lower court carried out. The case of Isaacs hung for the Odenton affair is cited as an example. $860 ALREADY PAID OUT $300 ALLEGED Popular subscription has already raised and paid out funds amounting to $300 to fight Snowden's case thru the lower court. Of this amount $300 was sent from Baltimore by Rev. C. H. Stoptone and the committee of which he is chairman; $100 from Washington and the remaining $400 by the Annapolis committee consisting of Mrs. J. A. Briscoe, chairman; Mrs. Dennis, Mrs. Hattie Simms, Mrs. Hester Johnson, Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, Mrs. Ellen Johns and Mrs. Bertie Morgan. Mrs. Briscoe brought out a report of money received and paid out to her committee and added that not the cent had been used by the committee itself for traveling expenses, carfare or anything else except to pay attorneys' fees. She praised the spirit of the committee in striving to stop what many people think is the wholesale hanging of colored people, convicted on the filmmiest circumstantial evidence only. BALTIMORE SENDS ONLY $300 Although citizens of Baltimore are said to have subscribed more than $300 thru their committee, to the Snowden defense fund last winter, Mrs. Briscoe stated that she had only received $300 of this amount and she hoped that the remainder of this amount would be sent her as soon as possible. When the above statements of Mrs. Briscoe were laid before several leading men, including Captain Brown, who loaned the first $300 to the Snowden defense fund, a mass meeting of citizens was suggested to consider the facts and set about fishing the $875 needed, by popular subscription. The epidemic of "Flu" in the city makes any mass meeting impractical. Yet the Snowden defense must not lag. The Afro-American suggests that it will forward to Mrs. Erscoe, chairman of the Snowden Defense Committee any funds sent to the Afro-American office. Defending Snowden is defending the black people of Maryland. It is another kind of jury sand. First, it is a kind of every citizen, who does not want to be convicted of murder and hanged on the kind of evidence that convicted Snowdon. The names of every subserved will be published in these columns as a guarantee that his money is put to the use for which it was donated. Individuals, clubs, churches are asked to give. WESLEY JOHNSON MAKES SUPREME SACRIFICE Baltimorean, Member of the 368th Infantry, Killed Wesley Johnson, who resided at 1508 Presstman street, was killed in action somewhere in France on August 25th. Members of his family have been officially notified and the following letter has been received by his sisters, Mrs Julia Johnson and Clara Johnson, from his capitals: "This note is intended as a word of sympathy in your time of trouble. Private Wesley Johnson, who was a member of my command was a good and faithful soldier, always willing to perform his duty. While shrapnel were falling all around him he commanded his post until he met his fate. This is the kind of courage that is needed in the great conflict and he set an example for his fellow comrades which will be an inspiration to them. He died as many others have for his country's cause the cause of Democracy. It is an honor to die as he did, fighting to the last for that great cause. Every officer and man in my company know that they have suffered a great loss in the death of Private Johnson and extend to you their sympathy for the great loss we know you have suffered. Sincerely yours JAMES W. JONES Capt. C. F. 368th Infantry." "Flu" Closes Churches By order of Health Commissioner Blake, all the churches in the city have been closed until further notice. The Commissioner, who has already ordered all the theaters and other places of amusement of amusement closed, hopes by closing the churches to put a check to the epidemic of Spanish Influenza and pneumonia, which has reached an alarming stage.

OUR BOYS ARE ROUGH ON HUNS OUR BOYS ARE ROUGH ON HUNS Sergeant Butler Rescues His Lieutenant and Cleans Up For a Bunch of Huns in No Man's Land. BY HEREBERT COREY; With the American Army in France, August 24.—"Whooo-ce" said Sergt. William Euler of somewhere in New York city. "Whooo-ce, you bush Germans. You wanna look out of foh me—foh Ah'in coquit." His colonel quoted Sergt. Euler in this statement. His colonel commented, smilently, that what Sergt. Euler said was perfectly true. The other men of Euler's platoon said, according to the colonel, that: "Dat Mistah Euler, he suttted come a-foggin and a-rain" thoo that theah darkness." It was on the night of August 17th that Capt. Joe Outwetter's company had a cage barrage dropped over it. Outwater is from New York, by the way. Inside the cage the box dropped a little gas. Not much but enough to be unpleasant. The whole situation was as clearly scrambled as dropped eggs. There were no pleasant, clearly outlined, definite trench lines bounding the position—a sort of formal garden of war in which the field was held by strong points, and old trench lines squirmed around no man's land like dusty and aged snakes, patrol parties used to get lost in these old bayous. Sometimes they got clear inside the other fellow's line. In one of these strong points on Outwater's sot sit Lieut. G. I. Jones. Jones is from Alabama. There was a time when he was not on the best terms with the colored privates of his platoon. It was merely a difference in manner, for in Alabama race relationships differ from those of New York. But the difference had departed. Latterly Jones took prisoner too when he discarded the lighting blood of the other. But they were not what you'd call chumny. Jones wanted to get back to his old regiment. Once he had been taken prisoner and his old regiment had retaken him. "They are the real old watted stock," said Jones, fondly. "They are fighting men." WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES Jones began to be worried at his strong point. The night was dark, and there was gas in the air, and the shelling indicated some concerted action by the bochee. He tried to peer into the darkness over the perapet. Then he gave that up as hopeless and stooped over to pick up a flare cartridge from the box at his feet. As he stooped a large bochee leaped on his back and Jones and the bochee went to the dirt together. The bochee thick hands were about Jones thrust: It was a perfect surprise raid, of the sort the Yankts themselves like to pull off. Seventeen Germans were in the surprising group, although it later developed that three other groups were wundering about in no man's land. A sufficient number of these Germans had jumped on Jones and the four men in his strong point to flatten them out. Not a man on either side spoke. There was a wordless wrestle in the darkness. Then the Yankts quit fighting when they felt the hard ends of pistols jammed against their short ribs. "Come," said their captors. "On your way"—or the German equivalent for that phrase. The live Yankts and the Germans noiselessly climbed out of the strong point and started off down a communication trench for the exit into no man's land. Somewhere down the line an inspired soul set off a flare. Its nasty green light showed to Sgt. William Butler a line of German figures. At the head of the line were set Lieut. Jones and his four men, to stop any bullets that might be sent that way. Mr Jones and the Germans saw Sergent Butler by the same dare. He used to be a Pullman porter in New York City. His eyes and teeth are very white. They made a grand effect against the dark background, under that nasty green light. Butler had his automatic rifle at the ready. BUTLER WAS READY "Don't shoot, sergeant," howled Jones. "It's only me." He doesn't recall just why he made the statement in that obviously inexact form, but that he made it at all is a testimony to his presence of mind. He furnished another evidence of this quality, immediately, for before the astounded Germans could recover from this apparition of a wide white smile in the darkness, Jones had bumped his boche in the jaw, and himself down he relied to his four captured comrades and they flattened themselves likewise. Over on his side, Sergeant William Butler took a long breath and issued that war cry by which he will remain famous. "Who-ee," says he. "Look out for me, you Bush Germans—for I am a comin'." Butler just paraded around that no man's land with his automatic rifle and his two carriers. They fired thirty clips of cartridges that night. They entered abbrs and cleaned them and where they had no space to sweep with their automatic they used their pistols. Butler held true, too, for the next morning one German was found with his stomach cut open as with a knife, and another had his head sawed down by a stream of bullets, and another with his arm literally chopped off. He believed in concentrating his fire, Butler did. Every now and then those in the strong points could Lear him chant: "You wanna look out for me, you Bush Germans—for I am a-coming." No one knows just how many Butler and his pair of feeders go that night, for the Germans carry out a wound when they. But he got a plenary morning the regimenten found Lieutenant Jones of Alabama binding up a shrapnel wound in his leg. He looked at the wound for a moment, and then said in that brisk, professional manner that is the especial curse of surgeons: "Ah, Jonisse, we'll have to evacuate you for that." Usually "evacuation," with its weeks of sileness and cleanliness and good food in a well cared for hospital, is a little touch of paradise. But Jones swore at the surgeon in his best Abhaya. "You go to hell," said Jonisse. "I'm going to stay with the outfit. They're fighting men." NEW CALL DOES NOT TOUCH MARYLAND Crowder Wants to Educate 980 at Government Expense—Mostly From South. Washington, D. C., Oct. 4.—Provoz Marshal General Crowder today called for 29,999 grammar school graduates from 24 States and the district of Columbia to entrain October 15 for technical schools.

HOW PILE-DRIVING HOW PILE-DRIVING RECORD WAS BROKEN New York, Oct. 6.—"King" Burwell—otherwise Capt. Edward Burwell, colored leader of a gang of 11 Negro pilots drives—credits Robert Bruce with the inspiration which led his crew to break the world's record in driving piles on shipway No. 46, at Hog Island. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," reads the placard on the pilot-driving machine to which he pointed, smiling, when he was asked how he and his men had happened to break the record. "That sign filled our crew with enthusiasm," he said. "We decided one night that a new world's record would be made on the morrow, and it was. Of course, we had some mechanical troubles, but the men instead of fretting and funning just looked up at the sign and started in with renewed vigor. The result was that the record was smushed. "I am glad that the record was made at Hog Island. Here, if a man can deliver the goods in getting the ships out on schedule time, he gets the same credit and appreciation whether he is white or black. It's a wonderful illustration of the spirit with which we are all working hand in hand to defeat the land-grabbing, cruel Huns." SOCIETY PEOPLE MARRY Atlanta, Ga.—Miss Florence N. Gaines and Dr. Cecil F. Gloster were united in marriage last Wednesday in this city at the residence of Mrs. Bishop W. J. Gaines, 360 Houston St. The bride was the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. A. L. Gaines of Baltimore, Maryland, formerly of this city. She was a teacher in the public schools of Baltimore up until the time of her marriage. The groom was a practicing dentist in Baltimore up until two months ago when he was assigned to Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala. The bride wore a suit of dark blue velour and hat of blue pane velvet trimmed with blue ostrich band. The marriage was a private affair and took place in the presence of a few of the relatives of the bride and several intimate friends. The couple will reside in Montgomery, Ala. CITY IN GRIP OF "FLU"; 36 REPORTED DEAD IN 2 DAYS 1500 Cases Under Treatment by Physicians—Ministers Oppose Closing of Churches. Doctors and Pharmacists Overworked. One Entire Family Affected. Thirty-six deaths reported to the Health Department Tuesday and Wednesday of this week indicate that while the death rate from the epidemic of influenza is not as high as the white death rate, colored people are far from being immune of the disease. Nineteen deaths were reported Tuesday, including John Edwards, a soldier at Fort McHenry. Seventeen were reported Wednesday. Not all of these death were from influenza, but three fourths of the cases were so designated. Usually the Health office handles only 20 deaths white and colored. Wednesday, 132 deaths were filed. NEW MEASURES TAKEN Alarmed by the spread of the disease among both colored and white, Commissioner of Health Blake placed the ban on public funerals. No more funerals from churches will be permitted and in addition services of persons dying from influenza must be limited in attendance to the family and immediate relatives. The ban has been ordered closed, hours for stores shortened, car windows ordered kept open and all public gatherings postponed. Dr. Blake still has under admission the closing of the churches on Sunday. PHYSICIANS RUSHED All of the local physicians are overworked with calls. Many of them have as many as 125 patients suffering with influenza. Many persons have complained that it is impossible to get their physician over the phone, and immediate responses to the calls has been practically impossible, even in severe cases during the week. A pull of the city makes it evident that there are more than 1500 cases of influenza among colored people alone. All of the physicians are of the opinion that there is no cause for alarm if public gatherings are avoided and if persons affected with pain in the head, accompanied by cold either in the head and chest, and alternating chills and fevers, will go to bed immediately, take a dose of castor oil, and then send for their family physician. DRUGGISTS READY TO DROP In addition to the shortage of quinine and castor oil, two of the chief weapons being prescribed for patients affected with influenza, druggists have been swamped with work. Beginning at eight in the morning, some of them have worked up until two and three o'clock the next morning to get out the large sheaf of prescriptions brought in to them. It is practically impossible to order a prescription in local stores this week and get it immediately. WHERE THE "FLU" COMES FROM Local doctors are not agreed as to the source of the epidemic. Some of them are of the opinion that the "flu" is nothing more than our old friend the "grippie" more contagious than ever because of vitality lowered by war work and war excitement. Others are just as certain that the Spanish influenza is an entirely different disease from the grippie has been brought to this country by German agents and the disease germs let loose upon the people. Insistent rumors are being spread to the effect that a nurse of German extraction has been found at Camp Maude distributing the germs in the hospital wards, and that she had been subsequently executed. There is now- ever no confirmation or these rumors. SALOONS STILL OPEN Altho the saloons as places of public There is no better expression than this to use...If you don't think the War Industries Board is "getting tight," read this: The Afro-American has been requested to make a report November first whether it has ELIMINATED the following: "Continuing subscriptions after date of expiration, unless subscriptions are renewed and paid for." "Sending complimentary copies." The War Industries Board has settled upon the above as a means to save paper. In order to continue to do business the Afro-American has pledged itself in every patriotic way to carry out the orders of the War Industries Board.

MORGAN COLLEGE CLOSED Morgan College was closed by Dr. Blake Wednesday. Boarding students were told to return to their dormitories and the day students to go to their homes in the city. Morgan College has not discovered a single case of the malady. WHOLE FAMILY ILLY Not only Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Savage, of 633 Dover street are ill with "Flu" but their seven children are also down with the same ailment. The illness of the entire family has been the cause of neighborhood talk and sympathy. MINISTERS SHE DR. BLAKE A committee from the A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting, composed of Chus. E. Stewart as spokesman, W. Sampson Brooks, Chus. Murray, and J. O. Custis, was appointed at a special meeting of the Preachers' Meeting held Wednesday morning, to confer with the Commissioner of Health with regard to the possible closing of the churches of the city. Dr. Stewart called attention to the great need of holding in the best tact, the morale of the people, through the churches of the city. He also called attention that the warm patriotic cloak which is a most necessary apparel at this time could be best kept warm by regular church service where the most wholesome words could be heard. After remarks by Dr. Brooks and Custus relative to the shortening of service periods the Commissioner most courteously replied by agreeing with the above statements to the extent that disease is best helped by having a calm and peaceful attitude on the part of both the patients and those most susceptible to the ailment. What's Doing in Baltimore. Dartmouth College honors Booker Washington with doctor's degree. Dr. Warfield of Maryland appointed surgeon in chief of Freedmen's Hospital, Washington. James E. Parker rescuer of President McKinley from the assassin's third shot lectures in Baltimore. M. I. and A. Institute opened for first time at Laurel, Md. Dr. E. Lyon, principal. Colored Training School moved from Saratoga street school to Penna. avenue and Dolphin street. A Texas College conferred doctor's degree upon Rev. A. Brown, pastor of Leadenhall Street Baptist Church. Charles Stewart the best known of colored newspaper correspondents was in town during the week. He says the work or Flight law means practical slavery in some parts of the south. Colored folk are made to work at whatever white folk direct without choosing the work for themselves. The work of the blacks are made to disband shows or suffer arrest. This has happened in spite of the fact that the draft law allows people to be classed as essential. DROWNED IN MID-OCEAN Advice has been received at the Afro-American office that L. G. Jordan Jr., son of Rev. L. G. Jordan, of Philadelphia, secretary of the Baptist Foreign Missionary Board, was drowned off one of the U. S. Steamships on the high seas. His death while is said to have occurred in August was only recently reported by the Government, to his wife who resides in this city. Mr. Jordan was at one time employed at the Afro-American and enlisted as a first class cook at the outbreak of the war. GIRL BELLHOPS AGAIN Colored girls have been installed as elevator operators and bellhops at the Explanade Apartments, overlooking Druld Hill Park. A young colored woman also runs the telephone switchboard there. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Proctor, of Glenarm, Md., wish to announce the marriage of their daughter Louisa to Mr. Jas. W. Van Dyke on September 27, 1918. The couple will reside in Newport News, Va. BIRTHDAY PARTY Mrs. Ben Gasaway, 17th Druid Hill avenue, gave a birthday dinner in honor of her niece, Miss Jennie S. Warfield, of Wilmington, Delia. Tuesday, October 1st. Mrs. Elise Garmond of Wilmington. Miss Bertha Collins and Miss Ada M. Wilkes were the attendance. FOOD ADMINISTRATOR TO SPEAK On Sunday afternoon October 13, 1918, at 3:30, there is to be held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Drudh Hill avenue and Lanvale street, a great mass meeting in the interest of Food Conservation, at which time Mr. Edwin G. Baetje, a leading member of the Baltimore bar, and Federal Food Administrator for Maryland, will be the principal speaker. AIRPLANE SHOT DOWN OVER HEADS OF LOCAL BOYS Lt. Walter Webb of the 368th Infantry wrote a letter dated September 15th to his mother sending her a splinter of wood and pieces of blue aeroplane canvas from a plane that had been shot down directly over the heads of his men. Lt. Webb wrote that the occupants of the plane, a German first and second lieutenant were killed in the fall. At his own request Lt. Webb has been ordered into one of the replacement camps to undergo treatment for eye trouble. He wrote that poor eyes might cause him to be sent home from active duty. OLD LANDMARK The acceptance of the resignation of Dr. L. Z. Johnson, pastor of Madison Street Presbyterian Church by the members of the congregation and the local Presbytery may mean the passing of one of Baltimore's oldest churches. Madison Street Church was founded 70 years ago in its present location by a white man, R. C. Galbraith. The first colored pastor was the Rev. Hiram Revels, who later migrated back to South Carolina and became U. S. Senator. There have been only nine pastors in existence of the church including Dr. Wm. H. Weaver, who served 20 years; Dr. H. Armstrong, five years; and Dr. L. Z. Johnson, who served 13 years. Madison Street Church used to be one of the best attended churches in the city, but the congregation has dwindled in late years. It is possible that an attempt will be made by the congregation and the local Presbytery to have the members of Madison Street and Grace Presbyterian Church unite. NEW HUT AND SERETARY "Y" Secretary A. W. Warmack, of "Y" Hut. No. 2, Camp Holabird, was in the city this week. The Warwick stated that there were only a few "Flu" victims among the troops at the Camp. Fifty new had come from Camp Upton during the past week, and more were expected. He had written during the past week 150 Money Orders for the men, which speaks good for them in sending their money back home to their home folks. A new Hut is now in the course of erection and when finished the boys will have one of the very best assembly places in the Camp.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1918 . Some of the sickest men found in the base hospitals in France have no disease curable with medicine, have not been gassed or wounded by guns, They are the men, who have looked for letters from liome and have not received them. Not all the letters sent to France get there. Some of them are lost in the maze of postoffices and roads between here and the front line. Now and then one sinks calmly and gently with the aid of the submarine to the bottom of the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Many a letter poorly addressed but sped by loving hands gets lost forever in the dead letter office. The letters that do arrive cure homesickness in a hurry. Somebody cares, life is worth living and the fight worth winning. Red Cross nurses say that the soldier gets well quickest, who| gets the most letters from home. Napoleon said that “an army lives on its stomach.” That wag in the old days, and might have been true of his warriors. ‘The American Army, according to M. S. Crockett, M. D., of the] ¥. M. ©, A. is “living on its letters from home.” % . If there is any poor son-of-a-gun who has wanted silk shirls all his life, wanted them so badly that the first time he got an opportunity he invested in a dozen of them at the rate of $9 per shirt, we think he should be allowed to go his way in peace without having this gratification of a life-long wish put into public print and tagged with an editorial warning all col- ored people that the wolf is on their trail. ‘This is just what our white contemporary, The News, has done, and as we say, we regret that a fellow canuot wear his silk shirts, without recalling everytime he puts one on that so powerful a journal as The News has sent word of it thra all . Baltimore. We regret this all the more since The News has "go little to say of the better side of Negro life in Baltimore City. . It is a hafd: matter to see the things that are normal. It "is an casy matter to pick out those that are abnormal and then preach a sermon, . For instance, it is an easy matter to pick out individual . cases of extravagance or the appearance of extravagance. In the market recently an ordinarily dressed laborer esk- ed for a pair of ducks for his Sunday dinner. They were weighed out to him and he reckoned the dealer had better put on another duck. He took his three ducks, and was not par- ticular about waiting for any change. He has not yet asked | how much a pound ducks sell for. : Or what about the fellow who strolled into a drug store _ the other evening with a roll of bills wrapped around his neck- " tie in the place of a scarf pin? It iseasyto pick out such things, but at the same time it is not necessary to say that “on every side we see waste and pro- iligacy in the expenditure of money.” Americans as a.whole are more thrifty and saving than ever before. They carn’ more, truly, they spend more, and they save more. ‘The man without ut least one liberty bond . will soon’ be a monsirosily, and the man with more than one bond the average. In this woyld there are both ants and grasshoppers. In the time of plenty one saves for a rainy day, the other “takes his fling” and dies in the winter for lack of food. Nature cre- ated both und uses both for her own purposes. There are al- _ ways enough grasshoppers left. over to start a new race after - a hard winter. We say the cases of extravagance are not representative of the large mass of people. They are individual rather than typical. ; We did not intend to expose the quiet enjoyment of the buyer of the ducks and the wearer of the greenbacks, but The - News started it, and to. protect the rest of the human family, _ we had to talk about them. ‘ Women war workers are to wear uniforms of battleship <* graf, the War Department has decided, while still holding un- det consideration why a man-of-war in the dispatches should “be veferred to as “she” : “In a Liberty Loan speech in New York a clergyman re- markéd “We are going.to send the Kaiser and his damned “agents, pardon‘me, I mean his Potsdamned agents to ‘hell.” “The crowd cheered after it had gasped, and @ later speak- or, not a'clergyman, referred to hell as the Kaiser's destination and hailing. point. ~~ ax » .

WILL WISDOM PREVAIL? When we speak of Democracy, what do we means V0 we mean that it is only a catch word, a slogan for the time being to catch the unwary in a trap, or do.we mean what we say? There are a number of persons in this counlry who have not the slightest idea that the democracy they are preach- ing means anything else than a democracy of white peoples, or white nations. . ‘This was evidenced by the debate in the Senate last. week. ‘The blood and treasure now being spilt on the soil of France and other countries in the old world, will be a vain sacrifice i€ out of it does not come a democracy-of men as well as a de- mecracy of nations. ‘The United States will stultify itself in the cyes of the whole world if it means that at the end of the present war the Negro soldiers who are now fighting its battles are not given the same treatment both at home and abroad as all other mem- bers of its family. ‘The South must learn that the time of re- pressing Jaws has past. The North must learn that it can no Jonger afford to shift the burden from its shoulders by say- jing “Che South understands the Negro and will do the best ‘thing for him.” Some lessons will also have'to be unlearned while others will have to be learned. ‘The South today would have no need of repressive laws for its colored population had it not from the very first endeavored to keep the Negro in the place he was before the war. Had an endeavor been made to make friends of the Negro, to take him by the hand and lead him towards a higher and better life, instead of the attempt to force him back to his old position, the ‘Soath today would be without a single yepressivé law, and none would have been needed. To keep this thing up in the future will bring disaster to. all concerned. If the Negro cannot live in the South in peace, he will live where he can live, and without the Negro the South will grow up in weeds and become a wilderness. ‘A relegation to the tall timbers of men of the Vardaman, Blease, Williams stripe, and wise and progressive statesmar- ship installed in the place of demagogy will bring to the South the very best there is in the Negro.

How can they Jo what they do with what they have to do with? And most ‘puzzling of all: How ean they be what they are? T happened to be in Newark, S.J. In the days of the great explosions at the Morgan plant at Perth Amboy. Ratincas from the threatening exples- ions still to come were rushed into Newark by autos—everybods's autos. They were housed in churches and eared for by the angels of the Red Cross—now the most famous cross of history—next to that of Calvary. An offleer of the Associated Chari- ties asked me to do a little investigat- ing to find out how the colored vetu- goes were faring. I found a number of them In St. Paul's Church (white) on Hroud street, together with some of the white refusees, being cared for by the Red Cross nurses. They were re- ceiving the same treatment, In every way, according: to their own stories and’ my ovn observances. But the fine thing Is this: Those white nurses got a new idea of eclor- ed people from these men and wives and babies, and the two lonely jittle boys from’ Virginia, whose father works in Perth Amboy. When I was leaving, the nurses —exclaimed—not Jsome of them, but ALL of them in chorus: “Your people are JUST FINE} how glad we are to have thom here.” One. of the nurses followed me to the door to further sing the praises of the moral qualities of colored néople un- der stress. ‘They had given as: litte trouble as possible, had appreciated by look, word nad action, all that these women had tried to do for them pand had shown themselves supreme- ly HUMAN. What coutd be better than this? Not even the courage with which we die in France is greater than that with avhich we have lived and aze living, in the United States. It cakes more cour- age to live: under handicaps than to dle fighting an enemy. What it takes to die, the ‘colores soldier has it. What it tales to LIVE, the American Negro always has had it. ; WILLIAM. PICKENS.

Death does not matter, for it will mean life for thousands of my countrymen, and for my race, for right must triumph. { am not apprehensive of the future of my people in the States, for the free allied nations of the world will not condone America’s past treatment of her colored citizens in the future; for shail we not have fought beside the ‘best blood, the best white blood in all the world in the holliest war of all ages? Shall we not have shown that we are willing, nay, eager to pay, and pay dearly, In our blood for the Fight of the peoples of the earth to share equally in its blessings, to enjoy the same rights, to recelve equal justice, to have a volee In their Gov- ernment by our blood contribution? So I go forward certain and sure that my people will share equally with Armenian and Serb In the frults of the trumph of right over might and de- mocracy over autocracy. Death is nothing, for I love my race more than life itself." Dr. George Krick, of Hasleton, Pa., wrote to his father from France that he saw one Negro doughboy carve five Boches with a razor before he was killed, Licutenant James E, Black, of Lew- Istown, Pa., now in a hospital recover- ing from wounds, writes home that the Negro soldier is the most thoro of all when it comes to fighting the Boche. “They slit Boche throats with thelr bayonets when they get within reach and take no prisoners," he writes.

A fow days ago n tired, ragged, lousy, battie-scar- red regiment trudged out of a sector after ‘being under fire every day for 129 days, after being through the greatest. battle in the’ world’s history and after holding what was at one tlme (14 ‘months after the United States declared war on Germany), one fitth of all the ground the whole ‘American army was holding when that army had about ten times as many commissloned .oMcers in France Jas wo had enlisted men. “The French generals, from General Gouraud down, say that wo did our work as well as the veteran French Infantry regiments on elther side of us. We captured prisoners, includ- ing a German officer and lost none of them. We killed many of them in thelr trenches and inside our own lines, We were never driven from our front trenches although assaulted repeatedly. - ‘No Man's Zand’ soon became the 16th B. ¥. land after we took over each of the sectors we held, the last one being the most active and dangerous sector from Switzerland to the channel, 90 the French tell us. "On total Killed and captured we are away ahead of the boche—maybe 100. And we did what we were given to do with a minimum of losses. “Many acts of individual bravery stand out conspleuously, even in this gallant army of French heroes and veterans. At least thirty Crojx-de- Guerres have been awarded officers and inen (subject to approval of A. E. F., H. Q.). On the other hand we had, as 1 presume every regiment must have, some men whose conduc. in line and out was not at all credible. But they couldn’t all be heroes on $30 4 month, could they?"—Omaha Bee Lincoln Eyre writing in the N. ¥, World says of this sume regiment that when the Germans came close to the American trenches jn making an at- tack, Sergt. Robert Collins leaped up on the trench parapet and pumped lead from his automatic rifie into them at point-blank range, with German grenades bursting unpleasantly close to him. The Sergeant clalms one of his reasons for thus exposing himeelt Was a craying to get a good view of the fight. "I thought thelr shells had messed us up a good deal," he sald afterward, “but man, you should've seen what we ‘done to them.

LOSES IN JIM-CROW CASE LOWER COURT AWARDS 1c Appeal To Higher Tribunal However Brings Decision In Her Favor Sitting in the City Court, Judge Stump of the Supreme Court bench awarded Mrs. Julia Coleman of Wash- ington, D. C. $20 damages in her suit against the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway. In the trial in the lower court, Mrs. Coleman had been awarded one cent and costs, but thru her lawyer, W. A. Hawkins noted an appeal. In the upper court the suit was filed for $100 damages. The suit grew out of the attempt of station policemen in the Liberty Street station to prevent Mrs. Coleman from riding in the front car on her return to Washington after shopping here. May 25 last. Testimony brought out that she was ordered into the rear car, and blocked by the arms of burly policeman from entering the front car. Witnesses stated that the policemen elbowed Mrs. Coleman from the car step as she was about to enter. Mrs. Coleman, who is a brown-skinned woman of very slight frame gave her version of the story in a clear voice and firmly neglected the statement of the car company's lawyer that she pushed against the policeman's elbows. She showed how ridiculous it would be for a small person like her to push aside a burly six foot station cop and told with some spirit how they deliberately elbowed her from the car step. COMPANY MAKES POOR EXCUSE In the statement for the company the defendant lawyer stated that poor accommodation in the W. B. and A. station were due to war time congested conditions of all railways, making it necessary for the company to place inter-state and intra-state passengers on the same limited trains to Washington. According to the Maryland State law the company must seat colored intra-state passengers in separate cars. To save time and space it had decided to put all colored passengers in the rear coach with the white passengers riding in the front coach. JUDGE SAYS LAW IS PLAIN In reply, Judge Stump said that the law was so plain that it was hardly necessary to refer to it. Despite war conditions intra-state passengers cannot be forced to ride in separate coaches. If the company is going to put both classes of passengers in the same car, it will be necessary for them to find out which are going to points outside the state, so that colored and white will not be separated. The company must find out the destination of its passengers. It is not up to passengers to declare their destination without being requested. NOT ALLOWED TO TESTIFY Several witnesses summoned by the plaintiff to tell of similar indignities perpetrated by the company were objected to by the defense and sustained by the court. In view of the fact that Mrs. Coleman suffered no personal injuries, and in the mind of the court only small financial loss, $20 damages were allowed instead of $100 sued for. DEFENSE COUNCI APPEALS FOR BOND SUBSCRIPTION In its appeal to colored people of the state to buy more Liberty Bonds the Council of Defense, Dr. Lyon chairman says: "We appeal to you to purchase your bonds from any authorized agent, with this request that, you send to 421 Drudl Hill avenue, the office of the Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense, your name and the amount of your purchase, for future reference. We call upon our clergy, the principals of our public schools, the chief officers of secret and benevolent institutions, the superintendents of Sunday Schools, the presidents of Epworth Leagues and young people's societies, and all who enjoy leadership among our people to aid us in making a record for the race by purchasing as our share of the allotment of $2,000,000. High School May Get Military. Training. What the Army Says About Schooling. 1. All young men who were planning to go to school this fall are urged by the War Department to go ahead with their plans. 2. At college (probably also in secondary schools later) students will be inducted into the Students' Army Training Corps. 3. There will be both a collegiate section and a vocational section of the Students' Army Training Corps. 4. The Government makes contracts with each institute to assume, about October 1. 1918 the expense of housing, subsistence, and tuition of the student soldiers. 5. The Government plans to train all its men in the most effective way, whatever their previous schooling. The boy of 18 who wants to help the Nation should go on with his education immediately.

Wise Brothers Enter- The "Get-together" meeting, entertainment and dance given by Wise Brothers, Inc., to their more than a five hundred colored employees last Saturday night was quite a successful affair. Assembled in the recreation assembly room were the male and female employees of the corporation, white seated on the stage were members of the firm, land and visitors, opened Tomatoes were made by Mr. A. Hazzard, vice president of the cooration and general manager of the concern. The welcome address was delivered by Mr. Leo H. Wise, president of the corporation. Dr. Ernest Lyon delivered an enthusiastic address, and the Rev. Charles stewart sang a solo. The trio, rendered by Messrs. Alexander Freeman, Oliver Brown and Edgar Wilson, was most enthusiastically received. A vocal solo by Mr. Edgar Wilson, recitation by Mr. Hilton Gross, and a vocal solo by Mr. Oliver Brown completed the program. After the exercises retrenchments were served and the room was then turned over to the employees to enjoy themselves in a dance. Music was furnished by the Commonwealth Band, Prof. Charles Farris conductor. Wise Brothers was the first factory firm in the city to employ colored help, and they have always been very helpful to detail it, to make working conditions of the very best. Some of those present Saturday night have been in the factory ever since it started a number of years ago. President Wise and his wife came all the way from New York, especially to be present at this get-to-go movement. Entertainments of various kinds are given at stated intervals especially for the benefit of the employees. The prevailing epidemic of lagripeh hit the vaudeville team of Whitman Sisters this week. Two members of the cast were affected while on the stage at the Regent Theatre, where they were playing a two-week engagement and the act had to be withdrawn. Miss Mabel Whitman was sent to bed and placed under the care of a physician. The company expects her recovery in a few days and to put in its appearance as soon as the ban is lifted from the theatres. WANTED—Solicitor, high wages to right party. $25 per week easy.

SATURDAY IS THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE Black Sox To Play 2nd Game of Series The Baltimore Black Sox Base Ball Team, one of the strongest colored base ball clubs that has been organized in Baltimore in recent years, will play a championship series of seven games against the Semi Pro All Stars. The second game will be played this Sunday, October 13th. The Black Sox have made a wonderful record this season winning 35 out of 40 games played—three games being lost by one run. This team has lost a number of valuable men during the season on account of the draft, but have managed at all times to place men in their line up to maintain their standard of playing. The leading amateur and Semi Pro Base Ball Clubs in Baltimore and the very best men will be placed in their line up. The winner of this series will determine the amateur championship of Baltimore and will be presented with a handsome Silver Cup and $25 in gold. The series will be played at Westport Base Ball Park. This is the second game of the series which began last Sunday. The game last Sunday resulted in a tie. If you fail to witness these games you will witness the opportunity of seeing some of the best exhibitions of baseball ever given in this city. This Saturday, October 12, will be the last chance for city voters to register. To fail to do so means that they will be unable to vote in the Congressional election next month. It also means that those not registered cannot participate in the important mayoralty primaries next April.

Hill Street at 826 Drudg Hill Avenue COLORED TROOPS NOT GUILTY OF RECENT RIOTS Colonel Dulin, commander of the Camp Alexander for colored troops at Norfolk, Va., issued a statement today absolving colored troopers from any guilt in connection with the recent riot, and laying the blame completely on the armed white policemen acting without cause or reason. Colonel Dulin also pays his respects to the Newport News Times Herald, a white daily, which sent out a false report of the affair alleging that scores soldiers took part in the riot and lead a mob of civilians in an attack upon the station house. The statement follows: The Editor—Sir: On September 22, 1918, you published on the front page of your paper a story which has been given circulation throughout the country, to the effect that a mob of civilian Negroes, headed by a SCORE or more NEGRO SOLDIERS, attacked the Second Precinct Station, Norfolk, etc., etc. The story further states that ten Negro soldiers and civilians were shot down in the exchange of bullets, etc., and that the Negro soldiers were from Camp Alexander, as Camp Alexander "is a NEGRO Stevedore camp." The undersigned promptly dispatched R. Collins—from this camp to Norfolk to make a thorough investigation of the matter. The facies are as follows: Only two soldiers were involved in the fracas—not a score. Therefore, ten Negro soldiers were not shot down. One of the soldiers had gone to a photograph gallery to receive pictures that he had previously had taken. He was accused of stealing $15.00 from the cash register. He denied it. The proprietor went out and returned with two policemen. It would appear that had the soldier been guilty, he would have escaped; however, he remained. The two policemen jumped on this soldier and bent him down with clubs. Several hundred of this man's race, and one soldier who was standing by, apparently believing that this man was innocent, took his part and, accordingly, started trouble for the police. The two soldiers were arrested and conducted to the police station. They did not head any mob, or lead any mob, the mob being composed entirely of civilians. Not one of the two soldiers were shot. The story in your paper has done a marked injustice to the colored troops of Camp Alexander. I also wish to particularly invite your attention to the fact that Camp Alexander is not a "NEGRO stewed camp," and that the proper term to be applied to the colored members of this camp is Colored Troops, United States Army. The officers and enlisted men of this camp are indignant over such apparent wanton, slenderous remarks being directed at the men in this camp and I am very much surprised that you would permit such a baseless story to appear in your good paper. A wrong and evil has been done to the men and to the camp, and I feel sure. Sir, that you will take proper steps to correct the same as far as possible. News In Brief Elaborating the Queen's Rally idea that she found in Baltimore, Mina Azalia Hackley sang a patriotic pageant, "The Landfall" for the benefit of Mercy Hospital at Detroit. 3000 persons were present.

A STORY BY MARGARET BLACK David Hall had been born into a family where there was a dearth of money. As soon as he had finished high school he went to work in Wright's law offices, where he worked until he met and married Allison Blake. He had been satisfied with $15 a week which at that time was considered excellent wages for a single man; but when preparing to get married he that he should have more wages so asked for a raise and as the boss that he was worth it he received it and stayed on deciding to study for the bar. He was anxious to be a lawyer and become a member of the firm. He always turned his pay envelope over to Allison, and while they both lived better than they ever had before, he was always cautioning her to save, and Allison did save and put away money. that Allison had kept her word and for once in her life had bought her a decent dress regardless of expense, and he saw a different Allison. With her shabby clothes she had doffed a slovenly manner and stooped slouchy gait. She came home from the Community Club affair and calmly announced the meeting of the Red Cross knitting club at our house for the last Thursday in the month and said he could invite the men from the office if he wished. "You can't Allison," roared David. "We haven't any silver, pretty dishes or anything like the other boys. You can go gadding and galvating around if you choose, but I'm not going to have you filling the house with a lot of old hens and worrying me when I'm trying to study. And as for the men, they don't need to come because the years passed David's salary was raised, but nothing in proportion once others—Jack Lowe for instance. Jack's promotions were a puzzle to David. Business seemed to rest so lightly on his shoulders. He never seemed to work hard and life seemed one huge joke. David wondered how he managed to do it. Jack Lowe always looked prosperous, while David looked positively shabby at times. The Lowe's seemed to live happily, and David noticed when Mrs. Lowe and the girls came down to the office they were always dressed in exceeding good style. He always met Allison and his two children at one of the department stores, because he did not want the men at the office to see how they looked. He didn't like comparisons. "Jack Lowe gets a good bit more than I do," he said to Allison one evening, "but I do not see how he manages to look like he does and 'ress his family in such style.' looks to me as though he was headed for the poor house." "More wages than you do" said Allison. "Why David Hall you got Jack that job yourself. You have been working there years ahead of him." "I know." "I should think you would feel mean and ashamed of yourself and get a move on yourself." "Well he deserves it I guess," replied David. "They do things pretty square at the office and I guess I am just a plodder, and I guess a man gets what's coming to him." What do you think of inviting the follows just before Saturday afternoon. Just the follows from the office?" "What for?" asked Allison. "All the follows are doing it." "But you haven't been going on account of your clothes, so why should you have them here. It would cost $25 anyway to feed them. I don't soow how you could have them." "Twenty-five dollars to feed 25 men, Allison, are you crazy?" "No I'm not David Hall. But I have come to my senses. Every week since we have been married, I've had to skiimp and save and get along on about a third of what you make while the other two thirds had to go in the bank, and I never have a thing like other women. Our little home is hardly comfortable, no conveniences and furniture falling apart. Now I am going to get the children and myself some decent clothes, and fix up this house this Fall. I've been asked to help the Red Cross folks with that at the Community Club next Saturday evening and I am going to have me a decent gown to wear. I am ashamed to go out, but it won't be so any more," said Allison, with a determination that David had not seen since their marriage. "If Lowe o'any of the men at the office have invited you out for an evening, I advise you to get yourself some decent clothes for once in your life and go." "Why Allison Hall, with winter nearly here and the coal to lay in, you'll do no such thing." "See here David, I'm going to get the clothes, and that's flat. I've ordered a new set of dining room furniture, a kitchen range, and a rug for the sitting room and gave a check in full for the things. You can't see anything in life but a dollar, and not what it is good for. I give you credit for being economical in a way, but you get no credit from me for being stingy. I've been looking around lately and have got my eyes open. You say the Lowes are headed for the poorhouse. You'd think we've already arrived from the way we live. The Lowes spend makes Jack so fit that he just forges ahead. They don't huddle around a kitchen stove to keep warm, nor strain their eyes reading by a kerosene lamp to keep down bills. I've figured it out, that the reason you don't get promoted and stay in a rut, is because you have no inspiration to do any better and you'll never get any further than your present position if the inspiration is not given you, and you do not make the effort to get out of the rut. You'll get one drink of whiskey a day and a dose of smokes and hold in to the hoos of the money like grim death. We are not living as well now as we did on $20 a week. If you spend five dollars I never smell a bit of it, nor have clothes that a woman in the gutter wouldn't be ashamed of. You'd note it all off to the bark except what would give you that drink a day and David looked on Allison with eyes couple of smokes, and I'm heartily fired of it. We've enough in the bank to be comfortably clothed and live like people instead of puppers"—and Allison turned and quickly left the room, leaving David speechless from her tirade. It seemed incredible to David, that Allison who had 'nard never complained since their marriage, could have uttered the words that were still ringing in his ears. "And holding up that extravagant Jack Love for an example to me" was his indignant that. of awe, the evening she was to attend the Community Club affair. He knew that Allison had kept her word and for once in her life had bought herself a decent dress regardless of expense, and he saw a different Allison. With her shabby clothes she had doffed a slovenly manner and stooped slouchy gait. She came home from the Community Club affair and calmly announced the meeting of the Red Cross knitting club at our house for the last Thursday in the month and said he could invite the men from the office if he wished. "You can't Allison," roared David. "We haven't any silver, pretty dishes or anything like the other boys. You can go gadding and galvain around if you choose, but I not going to have you filling the house with a lot of old hens and worrying me when I'm trying to study. And as for the men, they don't need to cove because I do not go to any of their affairs." He smiled and then he拿 our we have saved up in the bank? "Four thousand nine hundred and twenty two dollars and forty three cents." "Very well" replied Allison. You have always trusted me and we've banked together, so I can draw what I please. Now I'm going to draw that $222.43 out and make things liveable here at home and I'm going to put $1000 of it in Liberty Bonds and of the girls will get a War Saving Stamp and a card for thrift stamps and I am going to dress them decently. Why haven't the same right to live and be comfortable that other women have. Jack Lowe's wife always looks nice and has a comfortable and convenient home. While I must shift along and cut here and there to look half clothed and live as the you were making $5 a week instead of $65. What does anything count for if we can't have a comfortable home or any home life? And "there are the girls, who will soon be young ladies. I want them to know a real house." "Of it said Davar to Jack, Allison taking things in her own hands like that. I didn't think she would do it. Imagine $222.43 to furnish and fix in the house." "What are you saving for Davy?" asked Jack. "Why to get ahead of course and to have something in my old days, so we won't be poor and depend on. But I can't do anything-with Allison, and you don't believe in saving—" "Don't I. exclaimed Jack, 'Look at our bank book if you think that. I believe in saving in proportion to what a man's getting. We save 20 per cent of my salary and always have. But a man wants to live according to its income or should want to or there is no incentive for him. Don't you see Davy man, that Allison I had no chance, and you have not even allowed yourself a fair chance with other men. My advice is to let Allison have her way and spend the money to fix things up and I'll ask Julia to help Allison plan if you want me to. You'll never be sorry and it will all come back to you in some way. Let Allison alone, and I bet my head you'll be proud of the results." What a woman could do when once she made up her mind on a few hundred dollars was a revelation to David Hall. He was so proud of his home, his wife, and his children the day he brought the office force out for the evening that he fairly radiated good will and confidence. "A wonderful fellow, and a faculty for attracting men, a wonderful personality," muttered William Wright who was the big power in the office. Strange I never noticed it before. "Oh Allison," said David catching his arms after the guests had gone. You are a wonder, and you have awaken your old man with aengeance. "Are you sorry I did Dary." "Sorry, well I guess not." "Was everything alright?" "Well I guess. Couldn't have been better or any righter. You know you are as pretty as a picture in that dress, and your hair all fixed up like that so fine and fluffy. And the girls wasn't it worth it? I've been asleep Allison dear, and I feel now as though I would wake up and find I'd been dreaming." "Well I'm most mighty glad that I have you awake. It is bedtime now, put out the lights and go to bed." "Not much we don't go to bed until I tell you the news. I've passed my examination and now I am a full fedged lawyer and the boss says that the firm will now be Wright and Hull, Attorneys at Law. Jack said let you alone and I'd be glad, and I'm doubly so." "So am I." said Allison. "Glad for both of us." One of the finest events of the season was a surprise party given to Miss Minnie Quickley on September 27th, at the residence of Miss Nettie Henson, 535 W. Preston street. The occasion was in honor of her birthday and was given by the members of Queen Elizabeth Drill Corps, of which Miss Quickley is captain. The affair was well planned and Miss Quickley was escorted to the beautiful home of Miss Henson's at 9:30 p.m., where the whole company awaited her arrival in a dinky lighted parlor. As she entered the parlor the lights were quickly turned on the scene presented a beautiful tableau of the assensage in white, he was presented a fine purse from the menders. When the guests retired to the dining room a table loaded with many good things and a large birthday candle with lighted candles, in the centre, awaited them. There another presentation was made the captain of a handsome crocheted basket of cut flowers. This gift was from Mrs. Lelth Washington. Both presentations were made by General Lewis E. Williams. Among the invited guests were Gen. Lewis E. Williams. Captain Richard H. Collins, Sergeants Austin Green, V. G. Sorrell and Howard.
