States Attorn ing for Execu PROMPT ACTION GIVES SNOWDEN ANOTHER CHANCE Local Men Lend $500 to Annapolis Committee—Record Ordered Printed. Case is No. 95 on Court Calendar. States Attorney Working for Execution. VOL. XXVII. No 7. Prompt action on the part of ten representative men of the city last week made it possible to raise the money needed for the defense of John Snowden. These ten men paid over to Mrs. J. A. Briscoe, chairman of the Annapolis Committee for Snowden's Defense, $500 last Wednesday afternoon. This amount, together with the sum of $242 raised by the people of Annapolis, was sufficient to enable Snowden's lawyer to go ahead with the printing of the record of the case as tried at Towson. As the result of this quick move of local citizens, it is now certain that the Snowden case will come up in the Court of Appeals in due course, thus allying fears expressed in last week's issue of the Afro-American, that the money would not be in hand soon enough, and that therefore the appeal would be thrown out. ANNOUNCEMENT BINGS QUICK RESPONSE Announcement in these columns that $755 was needed at once for the Snowden case awakened interest in all parts of the state. The epidemic of influenza prevailing in the city made it impossible to call a mass meeting of citizens as planned, so that when a small group of ministers and business men met in the Afro-American office last Monday evening, it was decided to borrow $500, turn it over to the Annapolis committee at once, and at a later date raise the money by public subscription to pay the loan back. DELEGATION SENT TO ANNAI OLIS. The committee, consisting of Messrs. Albert Johnson, S. H. Bishop, John H. Murphy, Josiah Diggs, Carl J. Murphy, chairman, Dr. Wm. H. Weaver, secretary, Capt. George W. Brown, treasurer, Dr. Wm. M. Alexander, and Dr. W. W. Allen, and Dr. C. E. Stewart gave their note for the amount of money, making themselves personally responsible for its repayment, and appointed a delegation to take it to Annapolis. WOMEN ARE HAPPY There were no happier women in Annapolis than Mrs. Eriscoe, Mrs. Rachel Williams, Mrs. Elizabeth Carter and Mrs. Hattie Snims, when Capt. Brown laid the check for $500 in their hands and they realized that the case could go on without delay. The whole burden of getting the money for the Snowden defense fell on these women, and up until Wednesday, they saw no means of raising the funds to add to the amount they already had in bank to meet the bill of $75 cents per minute. The late Brady, attorney for Snowden was called in and gave assurance that now that there was evidence that the bill could be paid, the record would be printed immediately, and the case come up in its turn before the Court of Appeals. SNOWDEN'S CASE NUMBER 95 Snowden's case is number ninety-five on the court calendar, and is due to come up in the October sitting. The prevalence of Flu in the state capital caused an adjournment for a week when the court met Wednesday. This means some delay, but it is that next week preliminary cases will be quickly disposed of, and Snowden will then come up for his second trial. Three-fourths of the colored and state people of Annapolis are consented that the accused man is innocent, and are certain that their beliefs will be justified at the proper time. COFFEE REPLACES WINE IN THE IME OF SOLDIERS With the American Army in France —American, colored troops, fighting under French command, are given French rations all excepting the dark red wine served out to the French poly every day. "He said that the colored offerer in command, "My boys are as good as any in Uncle Sam's army and we've got some powerful prayers among them, but I'm taking no chances. I cut out the wine and I'm giving them coffee. WIFE OF W. M. TROTTER DEAD. Boston, October 14—Mrs. Geraldine Pindell, wife of William Monroe Trott- ter, editor of the Boston Sunday adventure. Dorchester, last Sunday afternoon. Her chief life work was associate manager of The Guardian. IN THE SHADOW OF THE GALLOWS It is said that Snowden has had no callers since the sheriff refused admission to his spiritual advisor except for one visit of Mrs. Briscoe. It is also reported that after the weeks ago, the raplist Evans awo the hooks, Snowden was moved over into one of the cells booking out on the jail yard where the gallows has not yet been taken down. The effort is being made to write from the prisoner a confession, atheist stoutly maintains his impcee, protesting that if he had committed the crime he should have confessed long ago. Following the Evans execution, the sheriff is said to have shaken his list in Snowden's face, and told him he would be the next to hang from the same gallows. REMORS NOT CONFIRMED Rumors current in Annapolis that Brandon, husband of the dead woman had confessed his wife's murder, just before dying on the battlefields in France, have not been confirmed, although it has been felt in many quarters that Brandon himself is guilty or else is shielding the guilty party. There is no denying the fact that State's Attorney Green is doing everything he can to hang Snowden. The cost of printing the record so that the case could come up before the Court of Appeals, is said to be unusually tight. A widespread opinion prevails that the state's attorney's action, in insisting that the fugit record of the trial at Towson be printed, and none of the non-essentials left out, is a part of a well defined plan to discourage the colored people from coming to Snowden's defense. Far from accomplishing this purpose the colored people in all parts of the state are showing a commendable spirit in their determination to bring the case to the court of Appeals no matter what the case. CASE TRANSFERRED ORIGINALLY BY GREEN The transfer of the case in the lower court from Annapolis to Towson is another topic of conversation among folk at Annapolis. They say that with the sentiment in the capital of the state so overwhelmingly in favor of Snowden, no jury would have brought in a verdict against him. They point out that the case was transferred to Towson at the instance of state's attorney Green, after the jury had already been drawn in Annapolis, and that there was nothing to make this step necessary, except that Green feared an acquittal from the Annapolis court. BALTIMORE SENDS $475.00 At a meeting at Pythian Castle on Wednesday afternoon a group of citizens, Rev. C. H. Steptheap, chairman voted to send all available funds to the Annapolis committee in charge of the Snowden defense. This with the $300 previously sent makes a total of $475 all told contributed by Baltimore and placed in the hands of the Annapolis Women. The above persons answered the appeal in last week's Afro-American for funds to aid in Snowden's defense. Check for this amount will be forwarded to Mrs. J. A. Briscoe, chairman Snowden Defense Committee, Annapolis, Md. PIANIST AND SINGER WED. Washington, October 14—Washington society was surprised to receive announcements of the marriage of Miss Lillian Evans and Roy W. Tibbs, pianist. The marriage took place early in September. Mrs. Tibbs is a well known concert singer acting head of kindergarten work in the local Normal School.

AL ADAMS ILL Annapolis, Md., October 17—City Councillor Albert Adams has been quite all at his home here. His physician has heard his condition as being improved. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, MD. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1918 THE MILITARY NEWS IN BRIEF FROM EVERYWHERE "FLU" MODERATING AT CAMP SEVIER A Large Number of Baltimore Boys Have Gone to Newport News. A decided improvement is to be noticed in the influenza situation at Camp Sevier the past day or so and it is believed that the epidemic has about spent itself among the soldiers here. While there are hundreds of cases in camp the number of patients who are being discharged from the hospital and this is taken as an indication that the epidemic has reached its height and is now on the down grade. Under new orders recently issued all soldiers who have been suffering from the epidemic will be allowed to remain in quarters for ten days before returning to active duty. In order to still check, the spread of the "Flu" all canteens throughout the camp have been ordered closed as well as the various rooms in the hostess house remains open, those places must stand five feet apart while awaiting service and must not crowd in any part of the building. BALTIMORE BOYS NOW REGULARS The Baltimore boys are fast rounding into regulars. The Labor Battalion has been transferred to Newport News to be made ready for over sea duty as soon as possible. A large number of the labor battalion are Baltimore boys and it was a sorry sight to see so many friends go and leave others behind. There seemed to be more colored turtles than white. They seem to develop pneumonia more so than the white but they have the same attention as for as I can find out. The climate has a great deal to do with it, sending many to the hospital. A large number are in tents but the weather has been very favorable for the past week or so. SUPORAL ALBERT SHUFORD Base Hospital Ward 26. Camp Sevior, S. C. When the German attacked a colored company in the fighting around Chalone, the commander ordered quiet until he could see the enemy plainly. Then the boys went over the top and met the enemy in the wire. Here is the commander's report: "A platoon of G company attacked a company of the enemy. The attack was successful. The Germans are all dead. Max Yergen, the "Y" worker recently returned from Africa and India has been made a chaplain in the army. Thomas Larkin, a private at Camp Funston heard that his three children were hungry and barefoot. When he could not get a pass to go to them he took French leave and is held as a deserter. He figured on getting a job and earning money enough to care for them before being detected. The N. A. A. C. P, has reached an understanding with the Curtiss Airplane Company of Buffalo. New York by which colored women will not be discriminated against any longer by the employment department. In the adjustment it was necessary to call in the Federal Department of Labor. The 22nd annual report of the National Baptist Publishing Board shows that more than seven million copies of various church publications have been sold during the past year. Receipts and disbursements of the business department amounted to $350,000. Marion Perry of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, was classified by his draft board as a deserter until recently. His mother notified the board upon inquiry that her son had just written her that he had been promoted from second to first lieutenant in Pershing's army. Could Not Stand Still Long Enough for Physical Examination. Pittsburgh, Oct. 13—When Wesley Baldwin appeared before Local Draft Board No. 2, last week for examination, before his induction into the military service, he was so "ticklish" that he could not stand still long enough for the soldier to complete his examination. Every time he appeared, he danced, danced, danced, prayed and laughed until his arms swung around like a windmill. He kept moving from the physician until he finally reached the door, and bounced into the street. The draft board officials ordered his arrest, and he was sent to jail to test his nervous temperament until the Department of Justice locates the cause of his "wicklishness." HURGE TERRELL SUPS ON ROCHESTER BENCH Rochester, New York, October 9—Judge Robert Terrell of the Washington Municipal Court spoke in this city on "The Negro Soldier and his Presidency," presiding judge he visited the city court and sat for a while on the bench. The old home of Frederick Douglas went out of its way to honor Judge Terrell. MARRIED—DRAFTED— THEN GOES INSANE Washington, October 15—Richard J. Shaw, of Northeast Washington, a groom of two months, committed suicide here last week. He was something over 30 and registered under the first draft act. Fear that he would be forced into military service preyed on his mind. "Here they come" he would say over and over again, referring to the draft ornamals. He shot himself through the heart. The funeral took place today. WIFE OF REV. KIAH DEAD Princess Anne, Md., Oct. 15—Mrs. Thomas H. Klieth, wife on the principle of Princess Anne Academy, died at her home on the school grounds last week Bishop L. H. Holsey of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church presided over the Bishop's Council at Cleveland Ohio, last week.

John W. Lewis, of the Industrial Savings Bank is the promoter. The work is going on in spite of the war. Work has begun on the $9,000 training school for colored nurses authorized by the War Department, to be erected at Camp Sherman, Ohio. The famous 25th U. S. Infantry passed through Los Angeles, Cal., last week on route to the Mexican border from Honolulu. Ever since Jack Johnson toured Germany several years ago, the booches have had a wholesome respect for the physical prowess of the American Negro. The assistant mayor of a French town near the front wrote the following to the colonel of the 349th Field Artillery colored: "I hope the white troops, replacing your regiment will give us equal satisfaction, but whatever their attitude may be, they cannot surpass your 349th F. A. Booker Washington high School of Norfolk, Va.. is being used by the health authorities as an emergency hospital for "Flu" patients. Mutual Savings Bank, of Norfolk has raised thus far $15,000 in the 4th Liberty Loan campaign among colored folk. WILSON SPARES LIFE OF INSANE MURDERER Disapproves Court Martial Sentence of Private James, Who Killed Soldier and Woman. Washington, October 14.—Sentence of death imposed by court martial upon Private Layton James, a Negro of Camp Upton, for murdering Private Michael Maloney and Mrs. Harryin in the reservation May 5 was disapprehended by President Wilson yesterday on the ground that James was insane. Private James, who was a member of the 367th Infantry, gave himself up eleven days after the double murder. In a confession he said he had made a remark to Mrs. Harryin which Maloney—had, resented. He then, fired two shots into Maloney's body from a rifle and afterward clubbed him with the butt of the gun. Then he sent a letter to Mrs. Harryin's body and disappeared. He returned in a few minutes and for an hour stood guard over the bodies of his two victims while the camp police sought the murderer. CALL 1,000 NEGROES FOR NAVAL SERVICE Washington, Oct. 14.—A call for 1,000 Negroes for limited service in the Navy to entrain between October 18 and 24 for Charleston, S.

ASSAULTS 8-YEAR OLD GIRL WHITE MAN GOES TO JAM Dallas, Texas, October 15—Edward Garner (white) aged 73 years old, was sentenced to two years in prison for criminal assault on an eight year old colored girl. Garner blackened his face in an attempt to hide his identity, but was caught red-handed. Colored troops in France believe themselves the best in the world. After the whites had done well in an engagement around Chateau Thierry, colored delegations beseeched the colonel to let them go in on the "fun" and show the marines how to fight. A wealthy Negro oil man in Vivian, Louisiana, David Haynes, purchased $100,000 worth of Liberty Bonds. The Colored Women's Liberty Loan Committee of Pittsburgh reported $200,000 after eleven day's work. The real Neodham Roberts, who with Henry Johnson, received the first cross of war award American soldiers in France for bravery, is back in this country and is convalescing from bayonet and shrapnel wounds at Lakewood, N. J. The colored Liberty Loan Committee of New York City was well on the way to $200,000 mark at the end of last week. Pred Ballou and Robert Pritchett, national war secretaries in Africa, are reported dead by the British East African Expeditionary Force. Both men were college graduates.

Soldiers from Newport News were called in. The Commission on Training Camp Activities announces a War Camp community Service hotel to be located at old Globe Hall, 536 Church street in Norfolk. The camp is to serve soldiers at Norfolk, Newport News and Portsmouth. INFLUENZA AND PNEUMONIA CLAIMS MANY VICTIMS Epidemic in City Shows Only Slight Decrease in Sickness While Number of Deaths Mounts Higher. Provident Hospital Crowded. Swamped by the continued high death rate of the past two weeks of the epidemic of Spanish influenza, the Health Department has given up the attempt to catalogue and life the number of deaths as they come in. For this reason, newspaper reporters during the week tabulated their daily reports from the undertakers slips rather than from the official slips. Very little abatement if any is noticed, as the disease enters its second week. Doctors, nurses and pharmacists are still rushed until they are scarcely able to stand up, in their efforts to stem the tide. NURSES AT A PREMIUM Agency thrusts the city that make a practice of furnishing trained nurses report that they have been overwhelmed with calls for assistance. Wealthy folk have offered fancy prices to obtain the services of trained women. Provident Hospital has not been able to provide outside applicants with passes at any cost, and the call of the Red Cross Officials for volunteer workers has brought out reply from many who are untrained but few who have had any previous experience.

Simpson, John Hopkins Hospital Ernest Edson, 216 N. Bruce Ernest Red Cross leaders are appreciative of the response colored women have made up to this time and eager to have more of them volunteer for work among the needy. Never before in its history has Provident Hospital been so taxed for accommodations. The institution has been taxed to its capacity and some who begged it and indulgence had to be turned away. Dr. Harry F. Brown, Superintendent of the hospital, has worked night and day to look after the large number of patients and extra nurses had to be employed. At present there are nearly 40 beds at the hospital and over twice that many could have been filled had they been available. A number of requests from the Red Cross and City Charities had to be refused because of lack of room. Three beds, however, were turned over to the board of Health. The need for a colored hospital large enough to supply the needs of the city and well equipped for all emergencies has never before been felt so keenly. One of the most pitiful cases is that of an unknown man who was found unconscious over a saloon at the corner of Lexington and Arch street. It was not possible to rouse him sufficiently to learn his name. Thru Mrs. S. C. Fernandus and the Red Cross the case came to the attention of the Afro-American, and effort was made to get him into the already overcrowded Provident Hospital and failing in that to get someone to volunteer to visit him occasionally and administer the necessary medicines. This is one of the extremely sad cases that are the pitiable result of the jim crow policy practiced in white hospitals of the city, and the woofful lack of larger quarters in Provident. UNDERTAKERS RUSHED The twenty-one undertakers of the city are doing their utmost to handle the cases in the city, but the shortage of maskets and the inability of the cemeteries to dig the graves as fast as is necessary hamper them considerably. Some of the larger undertakers are handling five and six funerals a day, and turning away others, telling them they will do their best but it is impossible to say when they can get coffins. Collins too large or too small for the body are used by the undertaker rather than bury the dead in wooden boxes, and one undertaker reported that it was necessary to keep a body since last Friday in order to bury it properly. Some of the ministers stated to the Afro-American that they have preached funerals for proper families where the dead were placed in a pine box only, and one enterprising undertaker made a coffin himself and varnished it rather than disappoint a customer who relied on him. It is practically impossible to get caskets of any description for children. HAITIAN MINISTER DIES Washington, D. C. October 16.—Solon Minor, Haitian minister to the United States, died at the legation, 1429 Rhode Island avenue, Monday from pneumonia. He leaves a widow and three children. The remains will be buried in Hutt. The deceased was 59 years of age and highly educated. He served as minister resident here during the Roosevelt administration and was returned here during the present Haitian regime. He was not widely known among leading colored people here, his associations being mainly confined to diplomatic circles.

They said their parents had been dead for a good many years and they had come to look upon their brother as a father and have a blue service star in the window, and have not substituted a gold star for it because they say it seems too much like putting crope on the door.

McAbee, it is said, has been made principal of the Wiescau Street School, taking the place of Jas. C. Kantum, resigned. BIG SLUMP IN VOTERS The registered vote of this city has fallen off by about 45,000, only 81,000 being on the books when the registration books closed last Saturday night. Of these 10,607 were colored. The single vote was caused by many young men having entered the army or having gone elsewhere to get highly remunerative work. During the Republican regime in city and state the colored registered vote in Baltimore mounted as high as 18,000. When John Walter Smith became governor the Democrats enacted a law making a newcomer into the Maryland declare his intention to becoming a voter here at least one year before he was allowed to register. Thousands of colored men moving into the state neglected to declare their intention of becoming permanent residents, thus losing the right to vote. PROMINENT MARYLANDERS MARRY Prof. John Elliott Smith, director of State College of Agriculture at Princess Anne, Md., and Miss Edna Elimina Thomas demonstrating agent of Home Economics for the Eastern Shore of Maryland were married on Monday, October 14, 1918, at the residence of the bride, 513 French street N.

Just as the Labor Department found that the laying of railroad ties and the work on tracks was too much for the female phisique, it found that street car work was too strenuous for women, and it is Pauline Goldmark, of the Women's Division of the United States Railroad Administration, who advises the companies to give up the idea of employing women. The report shows that the work is too hard for women and that the service is slowed up. The question we want to ask is why in these rushed and crowded war times should the street car company and the public allow the service to be slowed up? The companies have no love for women, they would put them all off tomorrow, if they could get white men. Colored men they have not thought of, and colored men will not be employed except as the last resort. If all the idle cars in the United's barn were manned by colored crews and sent out over the lines, there would be no need of strap-hangers and waiting fifteen minutes for a car. When the people get sick and tired of bum service, they will see to it that the companies will get proper help whether that help be white or colored. CAMPHOR AND THE FLU ist, who has noted in these last for camphor writes to the Afrc first started the rumor that immune to influenza is an "iml A pharmacist, who has noted in these last days a run on the drug stores for camphor writes to the Afro-American that the person who first started the rumor that camphor would render a person immune to influenza is an "imbecile." He has been told, he says, that persons have told him that they put camphor in a little bag and wear it on their chests, or break it in small pieces and scatter it in their clothes. Giving his reason for calling such persons inbecilic, the pharmacist continues "Camphor when left exposed to the atmosphere, loses all its volatile oils, upon which depend its antiseptic properties. In solution with other drugs like glycerine, liquid petrolatum, camphor is fine for spraying the nose and throat, etc., but it is never used alone." On the other hand, a local physician, who boasts that he has not lost a single patient during the flu epidemic, writes us a letter in which he urges cleanliness and fresh air as the best preventatives, rest, castor oil, milk and brandy and the advice of a physician as the best cure for cases of the malady. Other readers have written us of the value of onion, cut in slices and left exposed in rooms of the house, or of small bags of asafetida hung around the neck to keep flu germs away. So many persons have died with flu and the resulting complications that the public has been willing to try anything and everything any crank suggests in the hope that some of the things tried will keep the disease at a safe distance. Readers of the Afro-American will be glad to note that there is as much safety in wearing little bags of camphor, asafetida, etc., as in carrying a rabbit foot. Just about that much, certainly no more. To keep well, keep clean the body, nose and throat, breathe pure air, sleep eight hours, and for the rest trust God. Quite as happy to reach the United States from their island home as colored workingmen from the South are happy to get into what they call "God's Country"—the North, several thousand Porto Ricans arrived in this country recently to take employment under the United States government Bureau. An unusual thing about it is that many of the new working men are men of 60 years and more. This indicates how brightly America has been pictured to these islanders as a land of democracy and equality, of hope and promise, of wealth and prosperity. Nothing more than this could have moved so large a number of the older men to leave homes that they have known for such a length of time. Ordinarily the youth of a race are regarded as the bold and adventurous spirits, anxious for a change, dissatisfied with home conditions. With the older men the new home must be painted for them in the brightest colors imaginable. The new workers will be used largely in agricultural work in the south, where the climate will not be greatly unlike that to which they have been accustomed, and where the agricultural conditions are similar to those in Porto Rica. The migration of Negroes from the South has made this move on the part of the Department of Labor necessary. The Portio Ricans have volunteered for the duration of the war, but everybody knows that if conditions suit them, after the war will find them comfortably located on southern farms. Whether or not conditions in the South will suit these people, who before the coming of Americans to the island never knew what race prejudice was; whether they will ally themselves with the whites of the south or with the Negroes. These are questions that time must answer. For the present the Porto Ricans are with us, to better their own condition and to win the war. The New York Commercial remarks on the growth of Mohammedanism, that, "Many well-meaning people seem to think that the overthrow of Turkish domination over Palestine, Mesopotamia and Arabia by the forces of Great Britain, France and Italy creates on opening for the conversion of all Mohammedans to Christianity. They fail to distinguish between the Ottoman Empire which is breaking up and the Mohammedan religion, which is aggressive and successful in its missionary work." The Commercial notes further that there are more Mohammedan subjects under the flag of Great Britian and France than under the Sultan of Turkey, and that there are more Mohammedan soldiers under the flag of the Allied soldiers operating in Palestine than are fighting with the Germanic forces, and comes to the conclusion that the war is more likely to stimulate the growth of the Mohammedan religion than to retard it, for its simplicity so appeals to the black peoples of Asia and Africa that it makes a hundred converts for every convert made to Christianity. Here is how simple the Mohammedan religion is: There are six and only six articles of faith, (1) God, (2) the angels of God, (3) the books of God, (4) the prophets of God, (5) the Day of Judgment, (6) Predestination. In addition there are five religious duties to be observed by every member of the faithful, (1) Bearing witness that there is no god but God and Mohamet his apostle? (2) reciting in daily prayer, (3) giving the legal alms, (4) observing the monthly fast, (5) making a pilgrimage to the city of Mecca, once in a lifetime. It should not be left unsaid that this religion of nine tenths of all the colored people in the world makes an appeal to them because it teaches fatalism, sanctions the custom of more than one wife, and prohibits the use of intoxicants. All of these things serve to hold the darker peoples so close to their religion that Christianity has been able to make but little headway against it. But here is the main thing, and the thing hardest for the white peoples of the world to understand. The God of the Mohammedans is black, their color. Mohamet the prophet, founder of the religion and author of the Koran, their bible was a member of their own race and black like them. The god and the Christ of these people then are of their own color of their own race, and they naturally show an indisposition to admit that the supreme being is white and of another race than their own. As to the attitude of these people toward the Christian faith, the New York Commercial has this enlightening word: "The Moslem world is not disiliusioned. Mohammed do not deny Christ and the Bible, but believe that the Prophet Mohammed gave to mankind a later revelation. They do not look to the Christian faith in an inquiring way; they only wonder that Christians do not take the next step and become Mohammed." Missionaries who return to this country from Africa, and who speak plainly, tell that the christianization of this convent is making strides, but that the war has thrown the work back from five to ten years. The spectacle of Christian nations divided, fighting and killing, murdering and burning has had its effect on the native's opinion of the white man's religion. The natural effect of this is to drive these natives into the Mohammedan church at the rate never before known. Such a movement as this affecting more than 180,000,000 people black people, in Africa alone, is of such prime importance to the colored people of this country, that it would be well to keep an eye on the further developments of these black people thru their religion. The proportions are growing so large, that we can not continue, even if we would, looking down upon these people as barbarians and savages, wild, uncultured and ignorant, simply because their belief is not ours. Excerpts from the speech of Roscoe Conkling Simmons made recently at Dayton, O., showing how Mr. Simmons combines the wisdom of his uncle, the late Booker T. Washington, with the spectacular methods of Billy Sunday to make a Liberty Loan speech that pleases both white and colored folk. The white man made the flag out of thread and cloth, but he made me out of blood and tears. I stand by the American man because it is my duty; but I stand there to keep him falling." "Whenever you see a peaceable set of white people, then you see a peaceable set of Negroes. That's the reason the Negroes are not peaceable down south, because the white folks are not." "When Woodrow Wilson falls asleep a Negro stands at his door. When trouble is in him and they know where I am so proud of my race I belong to a race where there are no slackers, no spies, and no I. W. W.'s, thank God." "One Negro bought $9000 worth of Liberty Bonds and paid cash for them and another Negro bought $1000 worth of Bonds, and go in "ImCrow car and rode home. Satisfied, for the future, no regrets for the past." "I've promised to go across the waters. I'm going to make Bull out of Bulgaria, and take the germ out of Germany I am going to make the world safe for Democracy. I am going on the door of the first part of the Constitution that all men are created equal. I will stand side by side with the American white boy. When that is completed I will come back across the sea, and lay my gun away, take off my garments of war, and put on thigh garments of peace, walk up to the door, and take the gun out. You want me 4000 miles away from home to make America safe for democracy, since I have made America safe for Democracy, won't you make East St. Louis safe for the American Negro, when Teddy Roosevelt wanted to go to France 37,000 Negroes put their names on the book to go with him. Just think: Teddy and 37,000 Negroes THE AFRO-AMERICAN people seem to think that domination over Palestine, by the forces of Great Briquettes on opening for the Hammedans to Christianity.

The people toward the Christian ideal has this enlightening word: not disillusioned.

THE FORUM APPRECIATES LETTERS FROM BOYS "OVER THERE" To the Editor: I appreciate very much the letters which appear weekly from the boys at the Quat. More than anything else in the paper. I enjoy these letters and I would like to thank personally those who are kind enough to send them. Beside the immediate friends and relatives of our boys at the front, there are many others who are likewise interested in them. The friends await news of the lads overseas as an audience as the relatives. Quite quickly this news is long in the news from the boys as frequently as can be expected, but in their joy of hearing from them they often forget those who are as anxious as they. I wish to extend many thanks to those who have sent in letters to the paper, for many of the letters were from those boys whose I believe it had lost sight of. I believe I would be appreciated if more letters appeared. There are other local lads who we hear little of. Does anyone know anything concerning them? Among them are Milton Dorson, Curtis Carpenter and Gough McDaniels. Where are they, how are they and what are they known follows and yet we hear very little of them. If you have any news of them, let us all enjoy it. Don't be stingy. OLD PAL From The Trenches A COLORED MILLIONAIRE IN FRANCE ENTERTAINS BOYS FROM TRENCHES Battle Am. Exp. Forces, France Dear mother, How are you and father? I think it is very hard that I haven't received a letter from you since I have been here. I am far away mother, but I think of you often at night in my dreams; and the old home looks so pleasant, and then when I awake in the morning I am blue to think it was only a dream. I shall never forget what you and father told me when I was a small boy and even when I was on my last pass. I have really experienced a great deal of it since I have been a soldier, but mother, some day, after we have canned the Kaiser I want to come back to you as true and as clean as I left. I am some where in France. Eye bye mother. I am your loving son, MERVIN L. TAYLOR 351st ALL Q. K. Cook Brice A. Jenkins, Battery "B" 351 F. A. writes Miss Pearl Chase that the local lads are getting along fine except that they are not hearing from friends and relatives as often as they wish. "N" THE SOLDIERS HAVEN Private Grant Biddle of the 9th Supply Company, 351st Field Artillery in France, writes to his sister" that he has seen Milton Dorsey, Franklin Wilson and Mon Henderson, all of whom are in the 349th Field Artillery. His letter was dated September 5th. The boys of his regiment were spending some dreary days, during a severe rainy spell. He says "We have a find place to go when we get dreary and that is the "Y." We have an interesting experience on Taking images of an Opportunity." You can imagine what a fine talk it was. I do not know what the soldiers would do if it were not for the "Y." The real colored millionaire is M. Louis de Lanceur, a man of forty or forty-five, who lives on the Boulevard de St. Antoine, in a magnificent store mansion. Monsieur Lanceur is the bête over thirty million dollars in our money and is very prominent in the civic life of Paris. I was entertained at his house about a year ago. I had been wounded in the trenches and was taken to the Monsieur Lanceur as very patriotic—he loves France as a man would love a woman—and wanted to make it pleasant for all the wounded soldiers in the capital. I will never forget that he maintained of us present, over two hundred of us present, all nationalities and languages. It was a melting pot, a real brotherhood of man. Some of us were Negroes, some Slaves, some Gallic, some Cree, some Indian, and had ate together and sang in our fashion "The Marsaliasse" and the ditties of the trenches. Monsieur Lancour and his wife, Madame Lancour, the daughter of a rich Lyons merchant, moved to an outbuilding among many buildings. I pleasant as you are, Madame Lancour is a true democrat and shows it much better than he does his Negro blood. He is light complexioned for one of his races, has a shaggy mine of black eyes and heavy lips. He is in appearance what I suppose Dumms was. During the war he made me on the veranda, a little scary of the soldier hilarity. He sat down beside me, his immaculate evening dress a contrast to my servant's khaki. "You are Canadian, are you not?" he asked. "I am replied. Of the one you," "You are a Negro are you not?" "Yes; and I am proud of it." "I am glad to hear that. I, too, am Negro, though it is very seldom that I am aware of it. It is true I have very little Negro blood in me, hardly enough it is important to me. I understand I would have to suffer all the humiliation of one who is claused inferior." "I don't know about the humiliation you would suffer," I replied. "But I am certain you would raise our people in the estimation of the world were you to sell them to soldiers and borders toward making Negro life in the United States endurable." "You have been in the States?" "Many times. I was a railroad porter before I joined the army. I have been in Chicago and New York and in several of the southern cities. I know that the Negro is a New York few months in the trenches are the only moments of Heaven I have ever had." "They say the Yankees are hard on our people, something like the turks on the Jews. I have read Booter T. Washington's 'Up From Slavery' and DuBois' 'Souls of Black Foll,' and I know a little something of conditions over there. If I didn't have so much on my shirts, I would be prosecuting the war I would contribute a fund for the benefit of our people in the United States." We smoked a while in silence. "Sergeant," Lancour said, his eyes closed as if in a dream. "Do you know how made my wye?" "I replied." "Munitions," I am parvenu rich. My father who was an army man left me a hundred thousand francs. I married the daughter of a Lyons silk manufacturer, who brought me an equal amount as dowry. Two years before the yar I bought a bankrupt munitions factory and made considerable supplying the Balkan nations was muted. Then when our own war broke money poured into coffers and I awoke to find myself a millionaire. "I am rich. I have everything man could wish. My wife loves me, I have one child who will be a credit to the Lancour family and France. My only hope and desire is to see Germany crushed and the people free from all foreign menaces." My parvenu came out on the veranda at that moment. "My dear," said Lancour, as he stroked her slender white hand. "I was telling the sergeant that I have nothing man could wish. I have you." FRENCH GIRLS ON THE JOB Private John Richardson Company 9, 301st. Regiment, writes to his mother at 607 Fayette street that his company has just finished five day's vacation and the French girls showed them a fine time on the beach. TELLS MOTHER NOT TO WORRY William Chapman, 513 Engineers Company B, writes to his mother at 635 Vine street telling her not to worry as he is big, stout and getting along fine.

Thomas, Quartermaster Company A, 325th Labor Battalion, writes to his wife, at 710 Alosher street that he has not received any money from Uniee Sam as yet. He also says he has not seen anything in France worth buying and is going to save his money until he comes back to the U. S. A. ROSWELL TILGHMAN WELL Roswell Tilghman, Company D, 32 Labor Battalion, G. M. C.712, American Expeditionary Forces, writes to his mother, who lives at 1318 Stricker street, that he is well and getting along fine, with the exception of a little homesickness. He says he wants his mother's prayers, since he is a long ways from home. MEETS LOCAL LADS OVER THERE Private Herman M. Tete, 92nd Division Headquarters Company, now in France, writes to another that he has met Charles Watts and a number of local lads and that the boys from this city are having a good time both day and night. He says while the other fellows are playing on a piano and singing, he is writing his letter. Madame Lancour laughed softly. "I almost believe you're Irish, instead of Frenchman Louis," she replied. "But you and the sergeant The servants and I have been looking for you everywhere." That was the only time I saw Lancour. The day I was told that there was a movement in the industrial section of Paris to send Lancour to the French parliament. He is very popular and his Negro blood is no more thought of than a slight strain of Indian blood is in the United States. He and his wife go everywhere, are received everywhere and hold whatever honors are given, but light the battles of France—George B. Tandy in Favorite Magazine. Editorial Comment COLORED OFFICERS FOR COLOR ED TROOPS. . . . In the first draft we received something like 1,000 officers, when our quota, figuring on a rough basis, would have been something like 6,000. These officers in the line were from the rank of Second Lieutenant to that of Captain. Even in this we have not made very large progress, from the recognition given troops in the Civil War, for even at that time there were Negroes commissioned. The Negroes in this country, and we speak now not of a small segment but for the race of twelve million, feel that the minimum request is that they should have every officer up to the rank of Captain. The 1,000 officers who were given us in the first draft have made good. The Negro regiment that was decorated in its entirety on the Western front for its bravery, was led by colored officers. And when they had in direct charge of troops they had a racial trial, as well as a national pride, to defend, and they did. On the other hand, when our qualified men are set aside and men of other races are put over our troops, our troops may fight, but they do not fight with the enthusiasm that they own their own men were given a chance. There has gone to the scrap heap, never to be resurrected, that infamous lie that Negroes cannot be led by Negroes, that the rank and file do not respond to the leadership of their own people. Negroes have no race is to the contrary. In commercial, in industrial, in educational, in all the walks of our racial life, where Negroes of ability, of character, of force and of leadership have been put in command of a segment of our population, in response and fuller results. The entire race sits up in expectancy for the announcement any day that provision has been made by which we shall be given our rightful quota of line officers. Are we to be disappointed?—Christian Advocate. ```markdown ``` W. H. Lewis of Boston, the only colored man who has ever been Assistant Attorney General of the United States, told me this one to pass on to you: An old Indian Chief, who had come East to a cantonment to pay a short visit to his drafted son, who asked his opinion of the National Army. "Humph," the old fellow grunted, "Too much salute. Not enough shoot." Mr. Robert Blanton, supervisor of colored men in Bluford, S. C. has been engaged by George Peabody, the philanthropist, to introduce and popularize the "Hymn of Freedom" among the soldiers in the cantonments. When Mr. Blanton came to Moade recently he was introduced to Secretary Booker of our Y. I. C. A., who was paying showers there. On what led to another and finally Mr. Blanton asked "Where are you from Mr. Booker?" The Secretary told him he was from Amelia Couty, Virginia, not far from Major Moton's old homestead. Major Moton now head of Tuskegee Institution, "Is that so," I heard Mr. Blanton reply, "Well, am from Moton's homestead. I am half-brother. After his life was Bob and Steve, and these two old neighbors and playmates sat down to talk over old times in earnest. They had not seen each other in twenty-five years. By the way Major Moton's father was named Booker Moton. "Cover up each cough and sneeze If you don't you will spread disease." This is the way the government bulletin on the prevention and treatment of Spanish Influenza puts it, Spanish Flu is a very old disease and is sometime called Three Day Fever because the high temperature of the strenuous play lasts just three days, the fourth day the patient usually recovers rapidly or complications set in leading to pneumonia. In most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather suddenly. He feels weak, has pains in the eyes, ears, head or back, and may be sore all over. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit, Most of the patients complain of feeling chilly, and this causes a fever in which the temperature rises to 100 to 104. In most cases the pulse remains relatively slow. In appearance one is struck by the fact that the patient looks sick. His eyes and the inner side of his cylinders may be slightly "blood-shot" or "congested," as the doctors say. There may be running blood from the cough. These signs of a cold may not be marked; nevertheless the patient looks and feels very sick. The three preventatives advocated by the government medical department are drinking milk, avoiding overcrowding in living and sleeping rooms together with exercise in the open every day and thirdly sneezing and coughing only when "covered up." Things will be different down to Camp Mende after the flu quarantine is lifted. A new order recently issued by the Camp Commander provides for the arrest of men and women found with their arms around each other. Under the new ruling, women are forbidden to enter any of the buildings or structures of the camp except officers quarters, officers mess, hostess houses of the Y. W. C. A., K. of C. buildings, Jewish Welfare building and other places the commander designates. Spooning outdoors or indoors from now on is taboo, and anybody who forgets will have time to regret and think it over under military arrest.

White Captain Disdains Scott's Letter Claims Order Is Not Mandatory; Ohio University Still Refuses Colored Students. Captain Told to Use "Tact and Discretion in Segregation" ```markdown ``` Negroes Forced From Their Own Homes "Work or Fight" Law Used by Southern Whites To Get Help. Women Are Made To Labor In The Fields. (Special Correspondence) The main office of the N. A. A. C. P. in New York announced last week that: "Certain college authorities, acting under a misapprehension of War Department regulations, denied the privileges of the Students Army Training Corps to colored students of Ohio and Nebraska colleges. In one case, action was taken upon instruction of the regional director; of a section of the War Department Instruction Branch of the War Department Committee on Education and Special Training, and in another case by direction of the War Department's District Inspector. SCOTTS TELEGRAM "The following telegram on the subject, signed by Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, under date of September 25, 1918 is self explanatory: "The War Department has not issued any instructions preventing Negro students from joining State Army Training Corps at the State University or any other institution. Any student mentally and physically qualified and accepted by the school officials is eligible for admittance into any Student Army organization. EMETT J. SCOTT. Special Assistant to Secretary of War OHIO CAPTAIN RIDICULES TEL- EGRAM. Following the publication of this telegram, colored men in Ohio organized to fight segregation in schools. Upon inquiry the following letter was received from Captain Koot, commandant at Oberlin:— Oberlin, O.. Oct. 9. 1918. The State Conf. of Investigation on Non Admittance of Negro Students in Ohio Universities Dear sirs: "In the absence of definite orders from Washington addressed to myself, I can take no official notice of any communication addressed to any other commanding officer of an S. T. C. Unit. "My own instructions relative to Negro students so far, are as follows: "On the visit to this school by the inspecting officer under the orders of the Divisional Inspector, he informed me that Negro students were to be quartered separately from white students. Since the Committee on Education and Special Training requires that students be quartered in large groups and there were only 6 or 8 Negro applicants for admission, I advised the acting president to recommend to such students that they attend some school where there are a large number of Negro students. WAR DEPARTMENT'S TELEGRAM "Later I received a telegram from the Committee, which read in part as follows: Negroes For Their O "Work or Fight" Law Whites To Get Are Made T The News comes to us that in many of the country districts, where colored people are thickly settled, that county and city officials are going to the extreme with the "Work or Fight" eict. Information comes that these officials are taking our people from their own farms and other private occupations and forcing them to work on the farms of white farmers. It is further stated that women and young girls, whose husbands and fathers are at work and they are left at home to attend to their domestic affairs, and these officers go into the fields and force these women to go into the fields and other places and work, while their own work goes on and on. In more of these districts where the mill billie" red shirt, country yaps are using this high method are they applying it to white men and women, but, beastly cowards as they are, they prey upon helpless Negroes. This is not the interpretation of the "Work or Fight" edict, but is nothing less than slavery carried on by these "boches" posing as officers of the law. Especially is such treatment accorded the Negroes around Eay City, Wharton, Brazorza, Angleton, Trinity Iota, Richmond and Caney. Negroes can hardly appear in the street or in the big road without being chased by these agents of the Kaiser, haled in court and fined $12.50. Negroes alone are given this treatment, while every little two by-four ignorant white boy is a contable, whose duty is to arrest Negroes. Before many of the Negroes living in these areas can get up in the morning a "haysed" with one of these shipper jay-hawk constables are rapping at their doors, compelling both men and women to go to "Marse John's." arm. "Colored men eligible for induction, will be inducted at institutions which they attend and will not be required to transfer to other institutions. Use tact and discretion in providing mess and quarters for colored men and arranging such segregation as may be necessary." "Neither of these instructions seems to me to warrant my changing my previous view that Negro students will be better satisfied themselves and will be enabled to secure more students in institutions and treatment at schools where there are more than a dozen or so Negro students in the institution. WOULD JIM CROW COLORED "In this view no discrimination against Negro students is intended. It is simply carrying out the general policy of the army, that Negro and white troops are both better satisfied if they are not mixed together. If enough Negro students had public education to this institution I should have certainly advocated the formation of a Negro company, messed and quartered by itself, and should have considered it my duty to make sure by constant inspections that the Negro students were treated in exactly the same manner as the white students in every respect." FRANCES M. ROOT, Capt. Inf. Following receipt of this reply the Committee made public the following statement:— THE SOCIATION AT PRESENT "The discriminations causing non-admittance of our students into white colleges and the segregation of those few who may have been retained is evidenced only in Ohio. We have written every university and the following reported satisfactory conditions: University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Howard University and the University of Michigan, Lincoln reports satisfactory in women in vicinity, Wittenburg (O.)

A. T. C. unit in which he falsely states that he is practicing segregation and represents a government telegram as his authority. Oberlin College president has written me that the college management is perfectly willing to accept Negro students, but has directed them elsewhere because of Cant. Roots suggest thinking they were obligated to do so. rced From Own Homes w Used by Southern Help. Women To Labor In Fields. Think of such treatment being accorded black American citizens by white American citizens. It seems almost incredible, at this critical time when every red blooded American should join hands and in one solid phalanx strike every sign of Prussianism, that any community could afford to give such impetus to the German progeny, so ripe among us. If this is these "hill billies" idea of democracy, it is not the sort for which black Americans are fighting, bleeding and dying "over there." It is not the sort millions of black Americans over here are struggling, buying Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps and rallying with a wholesaleheartedness of loyalty and patriotism to every demand of our government, unequal to any other class of citizens under the shadow of "Old Glory," "Work or Fight." We are first and last for the idler and lover. In these hours of our country's peril and weight responsibilities, when the nerves of our country are being strained to make safe human liberty and universal peace, no able-bodied man, woman or child should be allowed to loaf and idle about, when there is so much to be done, and we will tip our hats to every officer of the law who will round up every idler or loafer in every community and see to it that they work or join the army. But in making this crusade it should be done without regard to race or color. Pair play and equal justice is all we want. Driving Negroes to work promising them one price and paying another; threatening to beat or put them in jail if they refuse to obey are some of the damnable wrongs done our people in these places "by these "boches" in the guise or county officers.—The Galveston 'Texas) New Idea. FRITZ POLLARD TO COACH High School Boys LINCOLN FOOTBALL TEAM Transformed Into Fred Pollard, the greatest half-back America has ever produced, and Walter Camp's choice for All-American honors in 1916, has taken up his duties as coach of the Football Team and Athletic Director of the Students' Army Training Corps at Lincoln University. Although Lincoln's team of last year has lost most of its men due to the draft, Couch Pollard, on looking over the material which he has to develop, expressed his belief that the greatest team in the country might be developed therefrom; and along with the determination of his men, he is exerting every effort to that end. Although affairs at Lincoln have taken on quite a military aspect, owing to the establishment of a military unit under the command of 1st Lieutenant Smalls of the 349th Field Artillery U.S. A.; the students are still looking forward to the annual game with Howard University with much interest; as football seems to be the only thing around Lincoln which calls to mind the Old Lincoln Spirit of past days. There was much rejoicing when the students, or rather soldiers, learned that their team was to be taught the fine points of the game by one so well versed in the several arts thereof as Pollard. There is much material at Lincoln from which might be developed a real great machine of which every Lincoln man or Lincoln sympathizer might feel especially proud. Of the veterans of the past season only five returned—Capt. Baumgardner, T. A. Williams, Berrie, Moore and Newman. They are back receiving military training in order that they might get their chance at the Kaiser in due course of time, but also to get another good chance at their ancient rival, Howard. Just as in past years the men at Lincoln who have had any football experience at all, have responded nobly to the call for candidates; and are doing everything in their power to make the Orange and Blue machine one to be respected and feared by all opponents. The new men seem highly enthusiastic over the idea that upon their entrance to college they are to be tutored in the gladiatorial arts of football by an all-American coach; and are working hard to bring out the "stuff" they have in them. They seem to be imbibed the Lincoln spirit, and are willing to lay down their lives for Lincoln, next to God and their country. The fact that the Government desires athletics to be encouraged in the colleges having military units is to be appreciated; since athletics have a tendency to keep men in the best physical condition as well as to afford them relaxation from the regular routine of work. Manager Atkins is trying hard to get an adequate number of games, and is ever on the alert for formidable opponents. MME. EMMA PERRY The system taught, diploma awarded.

C. nothing more that you can demand of Christ, now you have Faith and must do your part; the road is javed for you and you must walk in the blessed path and lead others into the same wonderful path of God. All the things God asks us to do we CAN do and thus be worthy of His blessings and as the smoke of the blessed Incense rises upward, it is a symbol of our true prayer ascending to God. Let us start on our new way, the GODWAY, let us carry a SACRED SCRIPTURE BOOKLET and read it whenever we can snatch a little time from our busy life. Let us go into our own lives with God's power. And the Lord said unto me "Amos, what seest thou?" And I we CAN say "A plumbline." Then said the Lord "Eebold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people, Israel." Amos VII What does God mean by "setting a plumbline" for you? He means that He has set a straight line for you to walk into the right path, the path that will lead you to all that is good and will keep you out of all that is evil and unfavorable. And do you walk every day in the plumbline, the beautiful path that God has made for you? If you do you know the JOY, the GLORY, the benefits you derive from walking in God's Good Lines Path. But if you have lost your way, and are turning in dark corners, BE-WARE. THE DEVIL is looking for you, you cannot see him, but SATAN has POWERFUL YES, and he can see best in dark YES, and he can on the floors those dark corners. I represent God, and I delight in informing you that God is seeking you and He is determined to get you safely in His plumbline, so that evil POWERS cannot get you into their dark, unlucky路. If you have not yet join dour great SACRED SCRIPTURE SOCIETY join NOW, do not delay, or you will surely wander astray, in the dark corners, away from God's plumbing path. But if you have joined us, you surely realize the benefits and it is your DUTY to work and get converts. The Master asks "Where are YOUR converses?" God is here today and calling "Amos! "Amos! "Amos! "Amos!, what, what thou? "Amos, what doest thou? "Amos, what contribute thou? "Amos, whom serves thou? "Amos, where are they converts that carry and read my Sacred Scripture and burn Incense as an offering to me?" If you have neglected God's request to carry and read His Word of Help and Wisdom each day, and read as much as your time allows, start RIGHT NOW, this is your lucky moment to start. The best men and women today in this much troubled world of ours are turning Christward, and I feel it my duty to say, that if you have not turned yet, you MUST turn NOW.

The Answer is the old Y. M. C. A. —Lee Wilson Dodd in Leslie's Weekly Mothers' Clothes Mothers' Clothes Are you one of the mothers who think that it does not matter how you look? Did you ever stop to think that the little ones are very close observers and that as long as mother books nice they are very proud of her, the child does not notice what its mother wears or how she looks. I once knew a mother who took special pains to fix a coat over into the then latest style; when she tried it on to see how it fit, her little son was a interested observer. Her daughter said "Mother, it looks very nice," but the little son thought different. (and although only five years old) said "Mother, are you going to wear that coat to church and in the street?" "Yes I am," replied the mother. "Why?" "Because if you do, I am not going with you, as I don't like you in it." "What's wrong with it?" asked the mother. "I don't know, but you don't look nice in it." The result was that mother thought the matter over and saw for herself that though the cost was in the very latest style, it was not really becoming to her. Do you notice what mother wears? Of course you do; and everybody does. Should she exchange her ordinary attire for a more formal one, mothers sometimes lose interest in dress cause they think nobody cares. Children, however, are proud of a well dressed, neat appearance mother, the majority say nothing. Fortunately they do not demand that mother appear in the very latest style dress. Mother is the chief model and example during most of the day to the observing bright eyes in the home, and though the most of the time it is only a dress, the dress as long as it is neat and clean looks good to the little tot, mother looks nice. Mother's dress makes its impression on the little ones and on their little frinds and has a wide influence. U. S. Employment Service With Its Branches In Many Cities Offers Aid In Obtaining Work. Colored women are not taking full advantage of the United States Employment Service local offices, according to some of the officials of branch offices, who are anxious that these women should be better informed regarding the aims and methods of the Service's cities, although the local offices are sought out by the men, the women do not appear often, and it is felt that no attention has been given to informing them of the purposes of these offices. The service is anxious to place women in positions which pay well and which they can fill without injury to their health. Among the jobs that have been opened to women are places in hotels, factories, offices and private homes. The Memphis records showed that of the first 1,000 women and girls to seek the aid of the local office, barely a dozen were Negroes. COLOR QUESTION IN TRANSVAAL Natives Do Not Want Natives to Have Monopoly of Unskilled Work. Washington, October 13—The Transvaal is now discussing whether labor shall be the exclusive property of Kaffir natives or whether white men shall be employed for such work. There is considerable difference of opinion in the matter, and although certain white men at company are the employment of white men at company, several newspapers and organizations are strongly in favor of educating white men to perform all the important work of the country. One objection to the employment of white men for unskilled labor is that they may block from employment of any other occupation. The monopoly of the skilled trades and there is a possibility that the high wages for white unskilled labor may cause employers to hire white men to work in the same use to pay the same money to blacks. Do It For Baby THE DANGEROUS AGE. (By Ruth Danenhower Wilson, of the Vigilantes.) When a baby is from twelve to eighteen months old it seems like an intelligent being compared to a active, more vegetable state of the earlier months. For this very reason from twelve to eighteen months is a very dangerous age. It is then that mothers are apt to relax their vigilance a little, let baby's cooking and eating utensils go unsterilized, neglect to screen the baby from flies and mosquitoes, and carelessly extend the diet by giving tastes of this or that from the grown-ups' table. As a result dysentery often follows and kills mankind but has been in good health up to year of age. The strict following of four simple rules will avoid much of the danger of this age: 1st. Every utensil that touches the baby's food or goes into its mouth should be sterilized in boiling water till the child is a year and a half or two years old and all drinking water should be boiled. 2nd. In the expansion of diet from liquids to some solid food the advice of an experienced physician should be followed. Such new articles as he wrote to a physician on a time and in very small quantities at first. The child should not be expected to digest a grown-up's diet more than it is expected to walk as far as a grown-up. 3rd. Any tendency to diarrhea should be combatted with the omission from the diet of all solids, fruit juices, eggs, purées, sugar and cream or top milk. Lime water should be added to the child's milk, and the usual quantity weakened one half with boiled water. There is fever or nausea, or fever if the child has harley grul should be substituted for milk, and a physician's advice should be sought. 4th. The protection of the baby from flies and mosquitoes must be just as careful at this age as at a week old. Dysentery and many other discourses can be carried to the baby by these unwelcome winged visitors. A Few Tried and True Recipes Two cups sour milk one cup molasses two and one-half cups graham flour, one teaspoon soda, one teaspoon salt, one pound of raisins if liked. Mix dry ingredients, add to sour milk and molasses and steam three hours. Dry fifteen minutes, in the oven. Before baked this will half fill three one pound baking powder cans. - it fills them, when baked. DRIED BEEF WITH EGGS. Put one tablespoonful of butter substitute in frying pan; put in one-half pound of chipped beef; beat two eggs light, add two tablespoonfuls of cream or milk, and pour over beef. Keep munching until eggs are done. Serve at MINCE MEAT The following recipe is an excellent one for the woman who has more green tomatoes than she knows what to do with. If made as directed it cannot be told from mince-meat made with meat, and most people who have made and used it prefer it to that made with meat, and it is not only tastful but it is economical, as the receipt made as given will make eleven quarts of mince-meat, and it will keep you warm. The recipe can be small towns or the country it will pay you to try it, as it will cost only $1.60 for the eleven quarts. For the benefit of those who have everything to buy but the tomatoes and apples and would like to try it, boiled off cider can be bought at most first-class grocery stores for 20 cents a quart. Two gallons of green tomatoes chopped fine. Drain in a colander with holes small enough that the meat will not go through. Scall three times with boiling water. To scald tomatoes put all together in pan and pour the boiling water over and let stand for fifteen minutes before draining. This will scald three times and the last water drained from the tomatoes will be nearly clear. Three gallons of sour apples chopped fine, one pound of beef chopped fine, two tablespoonfuls salt; four pounds of raisins, seedless; five pounds of light brown sugar or maple sugar, if you have it. The tomatoes and apples should be run through the food chopper, using th largest knife. Run the suet thru also using the medium knife. Take your hands and mix well together and add one pint of vinegar and one quart of boiled-off oidie and one quart of boiled-off oil and two quarts through thick, until the apples are tender—not mushy, which will take about twenty-five minutes after it starts to boil. When done set aside and add two teaspoonful of clnmon, two of nutmeg, two of cloves, two of allspice and two of ginger. All spices should be ground. Can and seal while hot. Put the apples in a bowl, worth of citron and ten cents worth of candied orange peel and lemon peel chopped fine can be added it desired. The above recipe makes 11 quarts if made as directed. The tomatoes must measure two gallons after being run through the food chopper the first time and the apples must measure three gallons after being peeled and quarted. MARGARET BLACK. MME.

NEEDS HELPERS Sends Out Appeal for Active Women With Training to Relieve Distress.. Some Women Already Volunteer Services...Autos Wanted. The Red Cross officials today send out thru the Afro-American an appeal for help to handle the cases of sickness among the colored people of the city. The need is for women with hospital training or those who have learned nursing at home to volunteer services and report at the Red Cross Head- quarters, Druid Hill and Eulaw street between 9 and 1 or between 1 and 5. Such nurses are termed "Nurses' aids" and are sent out under the direction of Mrs. A. J. Mitchell of 1311 Smith street, who is the colored graduate nurse in charge of the work. Mrs. Delia Smith, 5214 Denmore avenue, Arlington, Miss M. Louise Smith, Mrs. Frank Williams, have offered themselves already as nurses' aids and has been sent out on several cases. Misses Rachel Crowner, Xaviona Fenwick, William Johnson, Marie Williams, 765 George street) and Nannie Grooms, 1418 Drud Hill avenue gave their names to Mrs. Edmonds at the Red Cross Headquarters last week, but up to Tuesday evening they had not presented themselves ready to be sent out on cases. VOLUNTEERS ASKED TO REPORT Mrs. Edmonds said it is not only necessary to send in name and address but also to come down to the Headquarters and report during hours as ready for assignment to cases. Few people recognize, Mrs. Edmonds said, how urgent and how distressing conditions are among the people who have no one to talk to about what is happening, and how shoes are carried out and no money to employ regular nurses. ONLY NEEDY CASES HELPED The Red Cross announces that the volunteer nurses are so rushed that it is impossible to render aid in homes where some member of the family is able to get about and direct treatment. A case was cited of a party on Linden avenue who called on the Red Cross for assistance while a member of the household was available for this work. The Red Cross said the people who have no help and to reach those who do not know how to help themselves. Many automobiles belong to wealthy persons have been loaned to carry the nurses and their aids from the headquarters to the various patients that they visit. Colored nurses who have been sent out so far used these cars. The Red Cross is appealing to colored owners of autos to loan them for two hours in order to perform the same service. Application should be made directly to the Red Cross Building, Drudl Hill and Eutaw street. USE REGINALL COCOA BALM America's Greatest Hair Grower Take no challenges.

ATLANTA, GA. GROW LONGSTRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Sobby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomodor 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 registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and buffy 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 Quinasoap, 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.

To War on Films That Stir up Race Prejudice. New York, October 15—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shilladay, announces that in the interests of national unity it has begun a nation-wide program in movie plays, which serve to stir up race antagonisms between white and colored people and against unduly offensive carecatures of colored people. "The recent patriotic action of Governor James Cox and that of the Council of Defense of West Virginia, emphasizing the infidelity from the movie theatres of their respective states of the objectable film, 'The Birth of a Nation' is a very gratifying evidence of the kind of result the Association which to see made nation-wide," says the association's statement. The guest of Governor James Cox in Nation have agreed to withdraw the film for the period of the war. In West Virginia the Council of National Defense considered that this movie film should not be shown at the present time and prohibited its appearance. "Similar action has been taken in other states, some cities both north and south, and efforts are being made to bar the film from cannements. An appeal has been made by the Association to the State Councils of National Defense and to the Governors of all the states in the United States to the West Virginia and secure the suspension of the production during the war, either by the voluntary action of the producers or by legal mandate, if necessary. The Association asks the public, particularly Liberals, for refusal to be possible, from unduly offending the sensibilities of colored people by thoughtless caricatures of Negroes. "Some of the movie caricatures objected to appear in patriotic films, but offended them obviously to lack of imagination and not to malice. "We do not believe it to be an unreasonable request," continues the appeal, "to ask those responsible for movie and poster art to remember that a new type of Negro has long since, except in the back woods stage, supplanted the shuffling, flat-footed, water melon-eating, hat-in-hand stage monstrosity, as indeed the best artists and illustrators have long ago discovered. But particularly vicious at this time, the Negro has been used to prejudice, which by playing upon the meaner hatreds of the baser sort, stir up passions which can only result in repititions of such outbreaks as the recent Philadelphia riots. ANNAPOLIS MAN DIES Annapolis, Md. Oct. 16.—Robert Matthews, janitor of the library at the Naval Academy, died recently. Prof. A. N. Brown, the librarian, paid him the following tribute: "In the death of Robert Matthews, a junior at the Naval Academy Library, a distinct loss has fallen upon the community. Whoever had any dealings with him soon came to recognize the sterling qualities of his character, and those who knew him best and longest had the highest regard for him. Thoroughly conscientious in all of his work, he gave careful thought to any duty that was entrusted to him, and the result was whatever he did was done well. Upright, faithful, loyal and zealous, he had left a record that all of his people may well be proud of and a reputation that all may serve to equal."
