Pickens of Morgan College by Lane, a former student. What the French officer of armed soldiers is likely portrayed. THE COLORED AMERICANS IN FRANCE A peaceful town far from the front. A beautiful day in June full of the perfume of roses. Resplendent summer freely burst into bloom, indifferent to human plains frosts and agitations. Scene of the town: a boy of ten years, head like an archin of the year one, runs thru the streets crying "The Americans are coming to B...", the inhabitants are invited to greet them." "The Americans"--For months they had been discussed, they had been expected and there was great curiosity, groups of people go down to the public square of the town where they see upon the white street the first runoffs of the Allied soldiers. But, what a surprise—they are black soldiers. Black soldiers. Great assemblment, a little fear. The rural population, not well informed, knows well the Negroes of Africa, that from America, the country of the classical type, characterized by the cold, smoothed white face, that from America comes this lark group, none could be his own eyes. They dispute one another, they are a little irritated, some of the women become afraid. One of them concludes to me that she feels the first symptoms of an attack of indigestion. Smiling, I reassure the lady with the all too malignant stomach: "Quiet yourself, they do not eat human flesh, two or three days from now you will be perfectly used to them." I said two or three days and from that very evening the ice was broken. Native and foreigner smile at each other, and try to understand each other. The next day we see the little children in the arms of the huge Negroes, confidently pressing their rosy checks to the checks of ebony, with their mothers looking on in approbation. CHILDREN OF THE SUN A deep sympathy is created for these men, which yesterday was not Local Committee Ready in United War W Colored Americans throughout the country are called on to take an active part in the United War Work Campaign, organized at the request of President Wilson, which will be conducted during the week of November 11,1918 to raise $170,500,000 to help promote the welfare of our soldier boys. The cooperating organizations in the drive will be the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. National Catholic War Council, Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service American Library Association and the Salvation Army. While the colored enlisted man has largely benefited through several of these organizations, the funds to be raised will make it possible for him to be accorded even more friendly attention. Many thousands also will be used by such organizations as the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., toward improving the condition of colored young men and young women in the United States. LOCAL COMMITTEE AT WORK The local committee of which S. S. Booker is chairman; C. Marcellus Dorsy is vice chairman; George Owens, secretary; Rev. W. M. Alexander, auditor; Carrington L. Davls, Charles E. Stewart, M. Thresa B. Stewart, W. H. Weaver, Mrsl Mare B. Williams and Miss Ida Cummings, divided the city into districts and sub-divisions under the following leaders: Rev. W. H. Weaver, Central District; Rev. Charles E. Stewart, South- even surmised. Very quickly it is seen that they not have nothing of the savage in them, but on the other hand that one could not find a soldier in faultless in his hearing, and in his manners more affable and more delicate than these children of the sun, whose ancestors dreamed under the wonderful nights along the murmuring streams. We admire their forms, handsome, vigorous and athletic, their intelligent and loyal faces with their large gleaning eyes, at times dreamy and with a bit of sadness in them. Far removed is the time when their insuppressive influence upon the digestive organs of the lady was feared. Now one honors himself to have them at his table. He spends hours in long walks with them, with a great supply of diplonaries and manuals of conversation. The white mothers weep to see the photographs of the black mothers who displease the portraits of older sisters. The finances of our pollinate be interested in the fancies across the sea, in their dress, in their headdress, and in everything which makes women resemble woman in every clime. THEN COME ADIEUS In the long lanes along the flowery hedges, more than one blond head moves thoughtfully besides a curly head, while the setting sun makes blue the neighboring hills and gently the song of night is awakened. And then these soldiers, who had become friends, depart. One evening sad "Adiucus" are exchanged. Adiucus We wish that they may be only "au revoire" (until we meet again.) Promises to correspond, to return when furloughs are granted. Here and there tears fall, and when, the next day, the heavy trucks roll off in the chilly morning, carrying away to the front our exotic guests, a veritable sauna. Soldiers! Friends! our hearts, our hearts, our wishes go with you. That destiny may be merciful to you. That the bullets of the enemy may spare you. And if any of you should never see your native home again, may the soil of France give you sweet repose. Soldiers who arrived among us one clear June day redolent with the scent of roses, you will forever live in our hearts. ern District; Rev. P. Carter Neal, East ern District; Miss.

Each worker has been assigned definite blocks to work and it is expected that every home in the city will be visited beginning next Monday and extending through the week. Each Individual in the house will be asked to contribute one day's pay in the month, and to do this every month for six months. Any one who desires to pay this amount in a lump sum may do so, but otherwise coupon books like those issued for installment payments on Liberty Bonds will be given to subscribers and payments will be made beginning December 1st at any bank in the city. ENTHUSLASTIC MEETING An enthusiastic organization meeting was held at the headquarters, 408 Orchard street Wednesday night at which Chairman S. S. Booker presided. Workers will be expected to report every night nex week and a large chart will show the amount raised by each division. TROOPS WITH MACHINE GUNS ON WAY TO THE FRONT RALPH W. TYLER ARRIVES IN FRANCE First Colored War Correspondent Will Only Be Able To See End of Hostilities—Gets A Taste of Real Democracy On Board Ship. BY JEWEL Accredited Representative of The Com Public. Public. Information. DARTS, FRANCE, Sept. 28—I have first reached this city after a ten day's voyage, which was, for the most part, uneventful. We experienced delightful encounter from the time we steamed out of New York's harbor until we cast anchor in a port over here. Had it not been for the democratic spirit prevailing abroad the big liner, and which gave me a most satisfactory taste of this "world democracy" for which the Allies are fighting, I might have considered the voyage monotonous. Aboard the ship was quite a galaxy of notable writers for the big dailies and magazines; feature and fiction writers who were taking a respite from that occupation to write "straight stuff" for dailies they are to represent. Among them were celebrities like Will Irwin, Robert W. Richie, Damon Runyon; H. J. Foreman, erstwhile managing editor of Collier's, and Applegard, usually known as "Appy" by the pencil pushers and "Appy" by the pencil pushers. Each and every one of these notable writers, former newspaper reporters, seemed to have made an especial effort to make me forget, which that my skin was several shades dark than theirs, and doing, to convince me of this "world democracy" for which the Allies are fighters for whether a barren ideality nor a rainbow vision, but an actual probability whose advance courier is discernable with the naked eye. The treatment accorded me by the newspaper men aboard was but typical of the treatment accorded by all the other passengers. Among the nearly two thousand souls making up the ship's passenger list were many Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A. Salvation Army and Knights of Columbus Workers. These all displayed a most notable evidence of a healthy spirit of democracy by their fraternizing as if they were all members of one and the same organization. Among the Y. M. C. A. workers aboard were five colored secretaries: Fritz P. Cansler, of Knoxville, Tenn.; Thomas M. Clayton, of Pluqa, Ohio; F. L. Clark, of Leavenworth, Kansas; D. D. Mattocks, of Philadelphia; and G. W. Jackson, of Louisville, Ky. The Y. M. C. A. certainly made no mistake in selecting these five men for oversee duty, for they represent the highest type in the race, and by their bearing won the respect and even admiration of all on board the ship. SERVICE BAT- TALION ABOARD SHIP Aboard the ship, also, was a colored service battalion belonging to an Engineer Regiment. They were stout, husky follows whose good humor was effervescent, even contagious, and their rollicking songs and plantation melodies cheered all, making them those whose thoughts had involuntarily turned to submarines—Germany's name of kultur, forget them, and banish all fear from their minds. One of the songs which they frequently sang, and with a gusto which gave further evidence of their 100 per cent Americanism, and which never failed to Continued on Page 6. THE FIELD GUARD Not Much Training in the Labor Battalions Not Much Training in the Labor Battalions (Franklin F. Johnson) Camp Meade. October 30—Few people realize how important a part the 408th Labor Battalion plays in the routine of the camp. These soldiers are "men of all work," and whenever there is any needed service of magnitude to be performed, some of the members of the battalion are most likely to be detailed therefore. They are as important here as the labor battalions are in France. When asked if he learned much of military tactics, a member of the battalion replied: "Well, we learn what 'squads right' or 'squads left.' Any how we perform any duty requested of us." "I have been here seven months and my only regret is that I am not now famed," said another. A big detachment is now in block of Camp Franklin, which is devoted to the Signal Corps. Of the thousands of men sent here so far for training in this branch of the service, none are colored. NO HOUSE FOR ROBERTS Trenton, November 4.—Chairman of reception to Needham Roberts, war hero in winner of cross of war in a statement today reconsidered matter of presenting him a home. "It must be remembered," he said, "that there are thousands of other boys who have performed heroic deeds and who will return home, and it would be an impossible proposition to provide a house for each of them." It was strongly intimated that the move to purchase a home for young Roberts was far from disinterested and that the matter was being urged in a certain quarter to unload some real estate on the property of other Roberts is at present in a Capitol May government hospital, and Adjutant General Gillykson has been advised by the commandant of the hospital that the Trenton soldier will be allowed to return to Trenton as soon as all, danger of the influenza epidemic is past. Colored Troops Prove Aim on Hun Planes With the American Army in France, Oct. 24.—Our colored troops proved their marksmanship recently by bringing down a Boche plane, which had raked them with machine-gun fire in less than fifteen seconds. More than a hundred bullets penetrated the aeroplane. The Germans appeared over the quaint old town of St. Die and swooped down to an altitude of less than 150 feet. He was forced to rise to clear the tower of the Hotel de Ville, but again glided down and turned his machine gun on the principal street, despite the fact that many civilians, men, women and children, were on the sidewalks. One civilian was wounded. Two colored military policemen, promptly unloaded their revolvers at the Hun. He climbed out of the range and passed over the city, sliding down again when he discovered a company of Negro infantry, on the hike, resting under some trees. He turned loose his machine gun again. The company commander ordered his men to open fire. The Boche plane burst into flames and fell in a field a few hundred yards away. The pilot was killed. Atwell Gets Job With Food Administration Washington, Nov. 6—The United States Food Administration has established a section on Negro Activities for the purpose of bringing about a stronger organization and more effective work for food conservation by colored people. Ernest T. Atwell, head of the Business Department of Tuskegee Institute, has been appointed director of this section, with his office at the Washington headquarters of the Food Administration. FORMER BALTIMORE BOY STANDS UP FOR HIS MEN IN THE TRENCHES When Court Martialed He Was Ordered Dismissed For Disobeying A Superior Officer. General Pershing Revokes Decision of Court. Colored Citizen Delivers Prisoner to Authorities--Mob Lynches Him. First Lieutenant James H. N. Waring, 368th Infantry, in the trenches in France, who was tried by court martial recently and ordered to be dismissed from the service, was restored to his regiment by command of General Pershing. Charges against Lieutenant Waring grew out of an altercation with a white captain of another company who failed to adopt the proper form in transmitting an order from the commanding officer of the battalion. The lieutenant was deprived of his insignia pending the outcome of the trial and placed under arrest. At his own request he was released and allowed to go back to his men in the trenches before the matter was finally settled. It appears that the Captain of Lieutenant Waring's company was away at school and in his absence left Waring as commanding officer. Each company is required also under the regulations to clean up after it has finished digging trenches and leave a clean place for the relief. Lieutenant Waring's company received that of the white American captain, who had no time to remove tools and clear the found. Upon ordering Lieutenant to collect the tools and detail a truck to go and haul them in, he was met with the flat rejoinder "I refuse to take any orders from you." For this he was tried and ordered to New York, Nov. 5.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent the following letter to Georgia's governor recently: Hon. Hugh M. Dorssey, Governor, Atlanta, Ga. Sir: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People asks for information concerning the steps taken by the authorities of Georgia to deal with the mob which, last week according to meager press reports, lynched John Gilham, a Negro, near Gray, Jones county, Georgia, shortly after he had been delivered into the custody of county officers by Negroes who had captured him in a nearby swamp. "Our information is that Gilham had escaped from a chain gang and was alleged to have attacked two white women, and that upon the arrival of the sheriff and two deputies with the prisoner at the county seat an . . . mob took the prisoner from the officers and lynched him. GEORGIA'S RECORD 18 "We again remind you, that since January 1st of this year Georgia mobs have lynched 18 persons, one of them a woman, and that its lynching record for the year has reached disgraceful proportions, attaining to a total of 40 per cent of the 49 Negroes who during 1918 in all of the States of the Union have met it similar fate. We would remind you further, that on May 24th, you issued a statement which was published in the Georgia papers, in reply to the protest of the Negroes against the Negroes Georgia against the Brooks' County lynchings. On that occasion you told the Negroes of Augusta that, "when the law-abiding element of the Negro race shall convince the lawless among them that such crimes will not be tolerated, and that the guilty parties will not be sheltered or shielded, but will be delivered to the officers of the law, such unspeakable crimes as those which have shocked the state recently will no longer encounter to stir race prejudice and resentment beyond immediate control," and more to the same effect. The general purport of your statement being that if Negroes would turn over criminals of their race to ning; and Hearts. BOY STANDS UP IN THE TRENCHES He Was Ordered obeying A Superior Pershing Re- ion of Court. be dismissed from the service by court martial. Colonel Moss, a rank rebel southerner is in charge of the 368th. PERSHING REVERSES DECREE In his review of the court mortal's case General Pershing ordered a reversal and further ordered Lieutenant Waring back to his company. General Pershing stated that the white captain had no right to give a command to him himself that did come from the Major commanding the battalion. The captain was said to be his superior officer of the lieutenant, but such an order as was given was justified only in case of emergency. There was no apparent emergency here. While it is true that it is the officers should obey their superiors first and ask questions afterwards, the action of Lieutenant Waring was clearly in order to guard his men rom "imposition," therefore since there was no attempt to humiliate him before listed men by disabedience of contempt. Lieutenant Waring was declared not guilty of all charges and restored to his command in honor. WARING FORMER BALTIMOREAN Lieutenant is a former Baltimorean and graduate of the local lighthouse under his father's principalship. He is a Harvard graduate and was instructor of German at Howard University before receiving his commission at Fort Des Moines. He is known among friends here for his frankness and for his standing out for what he believes right. In his short career in the army he has the reputation as a splendid disciplinarian. elivers Prisoner Mob Lynches Him. the authorities lynchings would stop. 2nd LYNCHING IN MONTH "We ask you in justice to the Negroes of Jones county, and of Georgia, as well as in the National interest, what can now be said in the face of the capture of a Negro accused of crime by Negroes themselves, the turning over of this Negro by fellows of his race to county officers, and the criminal neglect of their duty, by these officers permitting themselves to be inadequately prepared to meet a mph, and that without apparent resistance on the part of the officers their prisoner was taken from them and lynched, in violation of their oaths of office and their duty to the Commonwealth. Two weeks before, another sheriff and mob to take a Negro prisoner from them near Colquit, Georgia, and lynch him without effective resistance. For Colored Officers.

GOLDFIELD AND GOODLOWS HIT BY ORDER OF LICENSE BOARD Quite a number of local saloonkeeners will be hard hit by the order of the Liquor License Board forbidding "ladies entrances" to saloons. It means that saloons will not be permitted to serve liquor to women. Hotels are not affected. Smith's included. Among saloons which will be hard hit by the order is "Bob" Goodlow's. At New and Jasper streets. A large number of women drank there while an excellent cabaret show was going. The order also hits the Goldfield Hotel, which has only a saloon license. Quite a number of saloons run by white men for colored patrons will also be hard hit by the order. Most of these catered to the lower element of the race, and the action of the Liquor Board is regarded as a step in the interest of morality. According to some, a fight may be made against alleged questionable practices run by colored and white people. This said that quite a number of these places are run by colored people, and that soldiers are among the frequent- REV. FLAGG PARALYZED Rev. L. S. Flagg, one of the best known ministers of the A. M. E. Church, Baltimore Conference, now stationed at Frederick, Md., was stricken down at the mid-year session of the conference last Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Flagg, who formerly pastored at Bethel had just completed an address on the floor of the conference when he collapsed with what his family fear is a stroke of paralysis. Wednesday night, in answer to inquiries of hosts of friends, the statement was given out that he was resting easily and that uncertainty still exists as to whether the right or left side is afflicted. The Mid-year Conference was presided over by Bishop J. Albert Johnson. In addition to the usual conference reports the entref question for discussion was the means of financing and improving the Old Folks' Home and the Mount Zion Cemetery. The conference is making an effort to free the cemetery from debt and place it on a paying basis. Its assessed value is said to be $100,000. In the afternoon sessions, the W. M. Society made its report and at night Revs S. M. Johnson, W. H. Manokoo, C. H. Steepteau and Monroe H. Davis spoke on a symposium on "After the war what?"

The menu consisted of salads, sandwiches, olives, pickles cake, wines, nuts, and mints on each plate. USUAL LIE AND LIBEL Harry O. Wilson the Victim This Time The Sun paper's story on Friday, November 1st under the heading "Negro Raises the Rent" is another of that journal's libels upon colored people. Harry O. Wilson, the banker, was accused of being partly intoxicated when he never touches a drop, and Mr. Ernest Thomas purchaser of a home at 1524 W. Lexington street now occupied by whites was accused of attempting to raise rent of a house from $21 to $22 dollars per month. To a representative of the Afro-American Mr. Wilson stated on Wednesday that his client Mr. Thomas had recently purchased the property for a home, and immediately ordered the whites to move. They begged him to be allowed to stay for a while until they could make arrangements for a new residence, but Mr. Thomas replied that he was paying $$$ per week rent for the apartment that he now occupies, and if the whites wanted to stay in his house they would have to pay him the rental that he is now paying for the apartment. He added that they would either have to do this or get out. As the matter stands the whites are still occupying Mr. Thomas' house and have not paid any rent. They evidently intend to stay without paying until Mr. Thomas invokes legal help to eject them. Mr. Wilson says that he has never been inside the Lexington Street house, and the whole trouble lies in the fact that the whites do not like the idea of having to move for colored people. Mrs. Annie Simms Johnson, of Hargerstown Md., has been in the city the past two weeks on professional business.

ROLAND HAYES SCORES IN RECITAL AT BETHEL CHURCH Published every Saturday at the Afro-American Building, 628 North Eutaw Street, Baltimore, Md., by the Afro-American Company of Baltimore City. J. H. Murphy, Manager. Nearly Two Thousand Persons Hear Celebrated Boston Tenor in First Musical Event of the Season--A Brilliant Success. (BY ISAAC C. BANNISTER) Roland Hayes, the celebrated Boston tenor, appeared in a brilliant recital at Bethel A. M. E. Church the evening of November 5th, 1918, assisted by Lawrence W. Brown, accompanist, under the auspices of the Roland Hayes Phonographie Club, which marked the opening of artistic musical recitals for the season in Baltimore. THE OLD BROTHERHOOD AND THE NEW When money is raised by popular subscription for any cause the people have a right to expect their representatives to make an early and official report of the money received and expended. Secondly the people have a right to expect that their representatives do not use the public money for expenses of the individual members of the committee. Mr. Hayes sang from a long and varied program including numbers from S. Coleridge-Taylor, H. T. Burleigh and other compassers. In a splendidly written editorial in the last week's issue of the Maryland Voice, Dr. Wm. M. Alexander recalls the activities of the old Brotherhood of Liberty, that committee of citizens which fought the battles for the colored people of this city a quarter century ago. This Brotherhood consisted of such men as the late Hiram Watty, P. H. K. Braxston, Dr. H. J. Brown, the venerable Dr. Harvey Johnson, Rev. Wm. M. 'Alexander, Dr. Wm. H. Weaver and a host of others who fought successfully for colored lawyers and in general against race prejudice wherever it raised its head. Mr. Hayes proved his ability to compare with any American virtuoso tenor by his wonderful breath control, good phrasing diction, color, and fine interpretative sense. He was repeatedly encored and responded. The reproduction of his voice on the phonograph enabled persons to take his voice back to their homes with them. Mr. Lawrence Brown proved an accompanist of rare ability. He played especially well Rachnan minoff Prelud in C Sharp minor. That this Brotherhood of Liberty had such signal success Dr. Alexander says was due to their belief that "money collected by organizations and individuals to secure the colored race their citizenship rights is too precious to be spent for any other objects than the purposes for which the people gave it." Fully 1600 persons attended the recital. Smiles and Chuckles The report of the Annapolis Committee having in charge the defense of John Snowden shows it to be a worthy successor to the old Brotherhood of Liberty. Its financial report shows no money expended for committee expenses. By popular subscription they raised $654 and spent every penny of it for Snowden. "I wonder why the American troops are called doughboys?" "Probably because the Secretary of War is Baker." "Might Smash Something—"Young Grabeoin took up the law and then dropped it." By contrast the Citizens Committee of Baltimore, which made its report thru the columns of the Afro-American a week ago stands in a very poor light. Nearly fifteen percent of the money handled by this body of men was spent for committee expenses, railroad fare, clerk hire, stamps, advertising and stationery. "Then he took up medicine and dropped that." "What does he think of doing now?" "He's going into the crockery business. I hope he doesn't drop that."—Birmingham Age-Herald. Not His Function—"I want to know," said the grim-faced woman, "how much money my husband drew out of the bank last week." It is regrettable that there was not charity enough in the hearts of Dr. Stepteau's Citizens' Committee and sympathy enough for Snowden as well as respect for the donors of the funds to see to it that all the money raised was passed on intact to the proper persons. "I can not give you that information, madam," answered the man in the cage. "You're the paying teller, aren't you?" "Yes, but I'm not the telling payer.—Boston Transcript." Strangely enough a Committee of Citizens in Washington under the leadership of Dr. M. W. Clair, pastor of the Asbury M. E. Church, has raised more than $200 for the Snowden Fund but up to this time sent only $100 to Annapolis. Can it be that this committee has used 50 per cent of the people's money for committee expenses? Everything Going Dry—"What we need is individual drinking cups." "A good of individual drinking cups with drinking to drink"—Kansas City Journal. Baltimore wants only representative committees that can wear the mantle of the old Broherhood of Liberty. Nothing else will be satisfactory. Dr. Alexander was right in his conclusion that "Railroad and street car fares and other personal expenses do not secure and maintain human rights and citizenship." Eternal Feminine—"And when the war is over, dear, I'm going to bring you home a souvenir," said the young husband about to go "over there." "Oh, that will be nice, dear. What will it be?" asked the sweet young thing. "One of those German helmets, dear." "Oh, George, I'd rather you'd bring me one of those French bonnets."—Yonkers Statesman. THE CENSOR'S BLUE PENCIL Local citizens are feeling the weight of the censor now since the boys have started writing home and saying things in their letters that the authorities would rather keep a secret. No censor ever struck out the lines in which a boy tells what a good time he is having or what fine people the military authorities are. But as soon as the authorities are criticised or the correspondent begins to tell of sickness and death on shipboard the mail censor gets out his blue pencil and starts to work. Teresa: What are you knitting, Tonyo? Tonio: Why, a canisole for a hot water bottle. What good is good in "The Walk-offs"? "The world is full of the bad knitting of good women." What Caused the War The result is that the folk at home will never get a true idea of conditions in the trenches until the boys come home themselves to tell it. During the war only one side of the war will come back to the relatives and that is the good side. If there is any discrimination, mis-treatment and resulting ill-effects to soldiers and workers news will come back after the war not now. Flora—This war is all the result of a misu derstanding. Fauna—How's that? Flora—The Kaiser mistook his density for his destiny.—Judge No argument in the world can show—against the hard facts of experience—where the Negro people can be better represented by white men than by Negroes.—Amsterdam News. The aim of the military censor is to keep information from getting thru that will be of benefit to the enemy and also to keep news from getting hru hat will tend to discourage or dishearten the folks back at home. --- The Lord, as Booker T. Washington used to say must love the black common people, because he makes so many of them.—New York News. Everybody at home is expected to believe that things are going well on the other side of the pond until they hear differently, and if by chance any leaks permit us at home to get an inkling of things gone wrong, it will be because the censor slipped up. (Ben. Helfin of Ala.) He is the author of the little witticism: "If the Negro has a soul it is the half sole on the bottom of his shoe."—Louisville News. For the first time in history of the country is undergoing the strict censorship that burdens European countries in peace as well as in war. A celebrated case in point is the autobiography of Heinrich Heine a German writer. Written in times of peace, this book has a whole chapter in which the censors have cut out everything except the single line—"the Censors are stupid." What this chapter was about nobody ever knew except the censor, and he is dead. But he knows pretty well how to kick with the toe of it. On account of several cases of the "Fiu" at the county jail, the place has been quarantined. But drunks, street fighters and pick-pockets are admitted as usual—Pittsburgh Courier. The labor situation in Wilmington, Delaware is such that a powder plant is advertising for colored help, exclusively, not that it intends putting up the bars againstwhitehelp, but because there are no white men in the locality. If the war goes on, Baltimore will yet have colored street cleaners. --- Some people, who have the most religion apparently cool off quickly when the contribution basket comes around.—Richmond Planet. We shall never have democracy in this country until we have Negro leadership for Negroes.—Christian Recorder. If you don't think a Y. M. C. A. is a good investment, think of this: the government has erected a $15,000 plant with pool tables, bowling alleys, movie theatre, swimming pool and gymnasium with colored secretaries at Nitro, West Virginia. In this section at least there is no disposition to interpret and to 'inaugurate that strange institution called Democracy, for the establishment and preservation of which, to the benefit and glory of white America, nearly a half million Negro men are fighting today.-Savannah Tribune. Get ready for the War Work Campaign. Our boys have enjoyed the "Y" and the "K of C" in the camps and in France and now is our chance to foot the bill. --- W.G.C.S. TO MARGH IN BIG PARADE SATURDAY Community Club Taxed to Its Capacity Last Saturday By Large Influx of Soldier Boys —Musical Organization Entertains on Sunday. On last Saturday the W, C. C. S. Club was taxed to its full capacity in accommodating the large number of soldiers from camps Holabird and Meade, who were on leave for the first time since the beginning of the epidemic of the "Spanish Flu" Long before the hour of retiring, all the beds available had been reserved. The usual Saturday evening dance was resumed and a most enjoyable evening spent by the large number of soldiers present. On Sunday evening the soldiers and sailors were most highly entertained by the Violin and Mandolin Glee Club, a number of young lads gotten together by Mrs. Jennie Ross. The program rendered was an excellent one, and the soldiers through their representative, Sergeant Hodsen, expressed themselves as grateful and appreciative. Every day and night during the week there have been meetings in the interest of the United War Work Campaign for the week of Nov. 11th-18th and for the great parade which is to proceed it on Saturday, November 9th. All of the colored organizations which are doing work for the soldiers and sailors are invited and expected to take part in the parade in connection with the colored unit of the War Camp Community Service. On Wednesday evening at 5:30 o'clock the initial meeting of the Defense Volunteers, an organization of young women, was held at the Community Hall, addressed by Dr. Helen Hutchinson, Executive Secretary of the W. C. C. S., and Miss Hena Redford, director of the Girl's Work of the W. C. C. S. On Wednesday evening at 5:00 o'clock, an enthusiastic meeting of the District and Division chairmen and their workers, of their workers, of the United War Work Campaign was held at the hall when arrangements for the conduct of the campaign were further outlined and adopted. On Thursday evening a rehearsal of those who will take part in the parade and engage in the singing of the patriotic airs during the parade was held under the direction of the musical director of the W. C. C. S. Club, Mr. W. Llewellyn Wilson. On next Sunday evening at 5:00 o'clock-a program is to be rendered by the Defense Volunteers for the entertainment of the soldiers to which the public is invited. On Wednesday, November 13th, a special dance will be given by one hundred sailors from Annapolis to which all men in uniform are invited. The regular hostesses and young ladies who entertained the Saturday night dances are expected to be present and be the entertainers at this special dance. As usual the Saturday night dances. All who will take part in the Saturday parade under the W. C. C. S. Unit are asked to report to the office of the Executive Secretary at their earliest convenience. The W. C. C. S. Unit mobilize on Gay street, south of Baltimore on Saturday at 1:00 o'clock to form their place in the line of the parade. On Tuesday night, November 5th the Executive Secretary visited the Fireside Unit of the Navy League and outlined the work of the W. C. C. S. Club for Colored Soldiers and Sailors. War Mothers of which Mrs. George D. Gilbert is chairman will hold their regular meeting as usual.

Dear sir: You will find enclosed a check for one dollar and a half for a year's subscription. I am always glad to receive the paper at the end of the week to learn what our people are doing here and over in France. I remain. EDWARD W. WALKER From The Trenches Lieut. Smith's Adventure in No Man's Land How he got out of a platoon leaders' school just in time to march to the front lines and how, just one hour after a arrival at those lines, he was ordered out with a patrol for wire examination duty, is told in a thoroughly American way by First Lieut. Oscar H. Smith, a Washington man, graduate of M. Street High School and of Howard University, now serving witthe 369th Infantry overseas. "It was a designation of honor, but also one of danger, of which I was fully aware," writes Lieut. Smith, modestly. "I have not the power to make you see me on that my initial appearance in no man's land so cautious, so easy, such a wholeome respect for my own shadow. It was funny. It seemed that hundreds of eyes were following me and every twig I trod on sounded like the report of a 'Big Bertha.' However, I made it, and, of course, bragged when back in the dugout." Speaking of his six weeks' schooling at Nancy, the officer says that "no one has lived who has not visited this place. Further description would only sadden your lot because you are not here to enjoy it yourself." "People in America," he says, "cannot apreciate the desolation, sadness and misery of this troubled land. Long trains filled with wounded, so many women in black, little children begging, and laws that permit only a little of this, a smaller amount of that, etc. Those things cast a depressing cloud on all. Men are never happy here; they are, after a fashion (forced guyly), but no one can view these things and be joyful." Lleut. Smith pays his compliments to the cute little overseas caps the Yankees are now wearing. He says that for all the good they do "you might as well be barheaded." The officer is a son of Mr. and Mrs. William G. Smith; 2003 12th street northwest. He served for several years in the United States pension office, and was a member of the 1st D. C. Separate Battalion. He was one of the first eight men of the unit to be sent to R. O. T. C. for colored soldiers at Des Moines. A younger brother is with the 372d Regiment. Can See Shells Leave Muzzle of the Guns My dear Rev. Mitchell: Well, I am still endeavoring to perform the part of a patriotic American soldier. I am trying to keep in the best of health, albeit, owing to the size of the weather we have been having at night and occasionally during the day, it becomes very hard for one to avoid contracting a cold. Otherwise there is absolutely nothing to worry about so far. It's a cinch to be driving a truck right along side of a battery position. At times you can almost see the shells leaving the muzzle of a gun and yet I am just as unconcerned about those shells as I was to get up on Sunday mornings and attend eleven o'clock service. Altho the worst is yet to come. I guess you have been reading of the fine work performed by the Allies recently. Your boys are going to achieve during this war what we have been long praying for, and then we will be able to walk the streets of America with out heads up, straight forward into any place we feel disposed to. There happened to be an article in the Daily Mail a few days ago ridiculing one of our colored girls. I had better not say more, but will try to send you that paper so that you may pass your opinion on such an editor for trying to raise race hatred in the awful time of trouble when we are here giving our lives and perhaps one hundred per cent more willingly than some of our white brothers are, and then to be ridiculed. Anyway I would give $1,000 to come in contact with that editor for about five minutes. Wagner GEORGE SEALEY. Says Boys Are Fighting Like Hell Battalion Sergeant Major John M. Johnson, Headquarters 808 Pioneers Regiment, now at the front, writes to Mr. Ernest Hitchens, 445 Druid Hill avenue, that he has seen a good bit of the shell torn and war ridden France, but there are still some parts that the Germans have not reached yet, and these are the most beautiful any man would want to see. "The people treat the American soldiers as fine as though they were heroes and had won the war. Everywhere we go they open their houses to us, and say, boy. I have eaten some mighty fine meals with them, but while they were fine and any one of us knew of some place back in the States were meals are served better, and we enjoyed ourselves more. "Old top, I can't tell you much about what we are doing over here, but you can see by the papers that we are fighting like hell, and I know what I am talking about, because I am near enough to the big show, not to see a newspaper to tell you about it. If luck breaks with me, I ought to be home by Easter and then, Oh Boy!" Corporal Wm. H. Mitchell with the Supply Company 351st:Infantry writes to Miss-China Jenkins, 1710 McCulloch street that the French are way behind the times in almost everything except dress. The French are swell dressers and really look good in their clothes. He says further he was on a special nine day trip recently, and had such a fine time that he brought back a heavy cold with him. At the end of his letter he and Grant Biddle were said to be on their way to the movies. "WATER ONLY TO WASH WITH" J. Aubrey Carpenter Headquarters 350th Field Artillery Somewhere in France Sgt. Maj. G. S. Munce Mr. Oscar Johnson Dear friend Oscar: Well friend I'm here in France among the things we used to read about in the old books at school. We arrived outside the coast in the afternoon about three o'clock, but did not anchor until nine o'clock that evening. It was a very fine sight to see the light houses with red and green lights flashing a welcome to us. There were twenty transports in our fleet and we had about fifteen destroyers, besides the one that came to meet us just outside the coast. The following morning we saw more strange ships we were in a beautiful harbor sight full with submarines, warships and other battleships, floating in and out. When I got on shore I found instead of fences in rear of dwellings, hedges everywhere so high and thick that if not out except by the way you came in. The trees are very small in comparison with ours and have various peculiar shapes. I was very fortunate in going to Montmorillon, Province of Veinne and meeting some of the best French people. One French artist there. Monsieur Louis Besse Controleur des Contributions directes took a liking to me and invited me to dinner; one of the finest I've ever witnessed. After dinner we had a wine party and you know the French people love wine; they say water was made only to wash with. Frightened Into Fits Sergeant J. S. Banks, 3rd Battalion Army Candidates' School in France writes to his mother, 2818 Fox street says he has been sent to training school in order to work for a higher rank. He says he has been away from home longer than a year and in the trenches for a long time. "I have been thru a good bit too. Of course I have been nearly frightened into fits by shells falling all around me, but I have not got a serach yet." MAXFIELD WELL Private Walter Maxfield with the 372 Infantry in France writes to his mother, 2832 Fox street that all is well and he is the picture of health. SENDS AFRO SKETCHES Private George V. Smith, scout with the 351st F. A. in Franco writes to Attorney G. A. Pendleton inclosing two pen and ink sketches for the Afro-American. He says the scouts of the artillery are called the "guardian angels 'the battalion." ALL CENSORED BUT ADDRESS Private George Turner, a member of the August/ Automatic Replacement Draft how with an Oversize Ordnance Unit wrot a letter to his mother telling her of the unusual conditions on board ship on the way over. He sent the letter back by a sailor on board ship to be mailed in New York in order to avoid having it censored. In spite of this precaution the letter reached his home, 547 Lquere street blue pennil and cut up by the censor so that a good part of the letter has no meaning whatever. From the scraps that remained it appears that homesickness, sea sickness and possibly influenza took a large toal of lives on the ship going over. The number of deaths and the cause were stricken out by the censor. The name of the ship and the port of arrival were also cut out. Private Turner says his quartette consisting of Ernest Smith, first tenor, June Matthews second tenor, himself as baritone and James Jones, bass sung themselves hourse many an evening on shipboard, and the favorite songs were "Your Mother is Your Best Friend," and "Take good Care of Mother Eyes." Matthews, he says, is mounted on the Weldons and Black Box. At the top of the mottled letter the Censor wrote the Mrs. Turner: "Advise your correspondent that it is a breach of discipline and a betrayal of trust to violate censorship instructions, which lays him liable to court martial." Mall Censor Lieut. Webb Sends Gift Lieutenant Walter Webb, who is now serving with the A. E. F. in France recently sent Miss Alice Waring of 1218 Jeffersonfission street a handsome "Sam Brown" belt as a token of friendship and esteem. Miss Waring and Lieut. Webb are both graduates of the Baltimore Teachers' Training School, class of '17. COLORED BRANCH DISTRIBUTES BOXES Xmas boxes can be secured from the Colored Red Cross Branch, 953 Drudt Hill avenue after overseas coupons have been received from the soldiers. S. C. Fernandis, chairman. HAS HUN RELICS Mrs. Hattie M. Johnson was the recipient of a few of the German articles of war, gotten from the Huns by her husband. First Sergt. James M. Johnson of Company, G. 808 Pioneers Infantry. These articles include canteen, gas mask, cap and one bottle of German soil. In a recent letter from her husband he speaks of France as a nice place—not like the States—but very nice with their treatment to the soldiers. He also sends regards to all Baltimore friends. Thes above named articles can be seen by anyone at the home of Mrs. Hattie M. Johnson, 1703 McCulloh street. "Flu" Flies—Rev. Martin a Stone Mason—Captain Brown Gives $500 in Gold—Professor Allen A Character—Dr. Fennell Mad. By Cee Jay Gee On the street car the other day two soldiers were talking in the seat ahead of me when a truck load of coffins whizzed by, "Ump, ump," said one, thinking of the many people dying of influenza, "that Flu don't stand no show with us. The only way for the "Flu" to catch us is on the fly." A week before Bethel Church laid its cornerstone, Rev. J. G. Martin, presiding -ider of the District together with a stone mason got busy cutting out the old stone to make a place for it. The buildings of old St. Peters built the church to last for many centuries so that the two men had a difficult job cut out for them. Rev. Martin sawed, scraped, measured and directed until it was hard to say which one of the men was bossing the job. In fact it appeared to passers by that two stone masons were working instead of one. Captain George Brown's gift of $500 in gold to aid Mother Bethel in the $33,000 dollar rally is the largest single gift made by any local citizen for a charitable purpose. There are several persons in Baltimore able to give that amount to the Y. M. C. A. to Bethel Church to Provident Hospital or to any other worthy charity but they have not as yet. In fact as an onlooker at the cornerstone laying on Sunday remarked there are some people in this city who can give a thousand and or two thousand and not miss it any more than some of the poorer folk who give five dollars for church rallies, etc. At any rate Captain Brown heads the list so far, and it is up to others to come up or shut up. --- Professor Allen who has his torsional emporium on Druid Hill avenue not far from the Afro-American office is a character. He has a ready tongue and knows how to use it. More than this he is a stickler for titles and woe to the unwary who sit under the blade of his razor and call him plain "Mister" instead of "Professor." The tale is told that not long ago Bishop John Hurst came into the emporium and asked for a shave. Professor Allen served him but outlawed the operation was spoken to by the Bishop as "Mister." When the Bishop had been shaved and stood up once more the Professor shot his bolt. "Bishop," he said, "you are Bishop Hurst aren't you and wish to be ed bishop." He nodded. "Professor went on, "as a senior assistant and dermatologist, proficient in his profession, I am a "professor" and wish to be called professor. If you can't call me professor I can't call you bishop." The good bishop's reply is not recorded. One of the things that makes Jos. Fennell a successful business man is his fine disposition. No matter what happens he is usually in good temper. But he was ruffled the other day and friends of his who came in the store were surprised for the first time, to find him angry. In fact he was mad clear thru and not because of anything done to him personally. It appears that his daughter took the civil service examination, passed and was appointed in Washington. The government is so badly in need of clerks and typists that Miss Fennell expected to go to work at once. When she reported in answer to a summons the officials saw she was colored and told her there was no opening. It bodes no good to Department heads in Washington when they can make quiet, peaceful men like Mr. Fennell lose his temper, for the "anger of a righteous man availeth much" PRIVATE BERNARD SAUNDERS SURE HE IS COMING HOME Private Bernard Saunders, 52 Co. A. P. O. in France writes to his mother, 1031 Drudl Hill avenue, that he is well and happy after a safe trip across the ocean. France is fine and beautiful, he says but he misses home. He is satisfied that he will come home again because of his confidence in God. WANTS LOCAL GIRLS TO LEARN FRENCH. Private John L. Berry has been transferred from the 325th Field Signal Battalion to the Headquarters Company of the 92nd Division. He writes a friend that he is wild about everything French and hopes that the Baltimore girls will learn the French language.

I wish to say just here that it has been the plan of our committee, that after the final adjustment of affairs, to raise the amount necessary to have published a list of the names of all persons and organizations contributing to this cause. This we intend to to, but in the meantime, we deem it opportunity now to give this financial statement: NEARLY $1800 RAISED.

This we are assured will be a small one. The committee hopes to be in position to meet this when presented. It will be observed that the chief attorney has received no compensation whatever except what was agreed on for the first trial when it was expected the case would be disposed of in the court of Anne Arndel county. Attorney Brady has been very considerate and in meeting demands for the committee when money was not in hand. CITIZENS COM. EXPENSES $75.70 We have read with much interest the report of the Citizens' Committee, Dr. C. H. Steptaul, chairman. We regret very much that this committee so managed its affairs that they found it necessary to use out of their funds, collected for this case, $75.70 for expenses. We have no comment to make except this contrast: We had a committee of gentlemen here who worked with us, but the managing of the financial side was entirely in the hands of the women. Not one penny has been used out of our funds for expenses. We also attention that some individuals or individual has been purporting to be working with this committee and collecting funds of which we know nothing. We desire to put a stop to this kind of robbery. SEND CONTRIBUTIONS TO 'AFCRO' We hereby ask that any contributions to this fund be sent thru the office of the Afro-American and that the Annapolis committee appoints as a sub committee to represent us, the following gentlemen who came to our rescue in time of due need and have rendered valuable service free gratis: Mr. Carl J. Murphy, Capt. Geo. W. Brown, Dr. Wm. Alexander, Rev. W. W. Allen, Mr. John H. Murphy, Sr. Mr. Albert Johnson, Mr. Josiah Diggs, Mr. S. I. Bishop, Rev. Wm. H. Weaver and C. E. Stewart. PANNIE N.

Myers failed to kick goal. Half time was blown with the ball at midfield in Camp Dix's possession. At the expiration of the interval both teams trotted back on the gridiron with freshened determination gained from the adycles of their respective coaches. Camp Dix bent on revenge, Lincoln thinking only of the safety that lies in a big score. Lincoln kicked off to 'Camp Dix. Diggs, who deceived the ball, made a brilliant run of 20 yards before he was downed. After gaining a rapid first down, Camp Dix, ever fall of hope batted in vain against the Lincoln stonewall defense, and finally decided to boot the ball. Law received the punt and supported by admirable interference swept down the field for 50 yards and the second touch down of the game. Myers failed to kick goal. During the last quarter Coach Pollard sent in a new team composed of men who hadn't been in the game solely because the football numerical limit stands at eleven. This new bunch was captained by Tillery, who by his splendid example at tackle hold his fighters to his task. Playing his quarter F.

New York, October 20.—Announcement was made this week by the Personnel Division of the Young Men's Christian Association that there are ninety colored secretaries in camps and in their eight overseas.

EMMET SCOTT PLEADS FOR A FREE AFRICA New York, November 4—At a monster patriotic meeting at Carnegie Hall under the auspices of the Circle of Negro War Relief, Mr. Emmett Scott protested against any policy that would restore African colonies to Germany, and urged a form of self-government for these oppressed peoples under the International Commission. Elaborating this point with reference to the future of the colonies wrested from German domination and tyranny, Dr. Scott described the voting cruelties perpetrated upon the natives in the African dependencies, noting an official report of Edmund H. L. Gorses Secretary of the Interior for the South African Union, which tells of the consoling of men and the outrage of women, of hangings and gorges and wholesale massacres, with many tribes threatened with extinction. In Togoland, where the oppression was especially rife, it is stated that the population fell off a million souls in less than two decades of murder and rapine. AFRICA OPPRESSED AND BE TRAYED. "May we not, in this solemn hour, register our forrent protest against any contemplation of restoring to Germany these African colonies she has so long oppressed and betrayed?" asked Dr. Scott. "It is too much to say that to restore these helpless black men to their former oppressors would be a terrible betrayal? Has not the hour come in which men, even of Darkest Africa, may cry out for the right to elect or ordain their own destiny under an acceptable tutelage and guidance of unichained men rather than under oppressive and cruel masseur?" "Black men of America and Africa have helped to save and humble the tribal origin of Dr. Scott. When civilization all but toterted to Isidom, Senegalese, Algerian and Soudanese troops stayed the Hun and saved civilization to the world. Soon around the Peace Table representatives of the nations of the Earth are to gather. France and England in their hour of need have gladly accepted the allegiance and the assistance of tribes from Africa. A great and responsible duty now devises upon the nations of the world to see that these poor people, along with other oppressed peoples, shall not be again placed under the iron heel of malignant oppressors. AFRICA TO BE FREE "In truth, the hour has come, in my opinion, when the world should declare that not only are these colonies not to be turned back to Germany, but to no other nation as well. "May not we, brothers by racial ties and blood sympathy of these African peoples, speak for them and call for their freedom, for their liberties, for the self-determination of their destiny AND FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION, which shall in future govern these colonies, AND UPON WHICH COMMISSION THERE SHOULD SIT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE 12,000,000 COLored PEOPLE OF AMERICA, who represent the largest group of forward-looking black people of the world, TO VOICE THE INARTICULATE YEARNINGS OF THE THAT HOST OF EXPLOITATION AND PILLAGED PEOPLE." ARE YOU READY TO SUPPORT SUCH A REQUEST? Corporal Eugene Jackson is spending a few days with his mother, Mrs E. Jackson of Laurens street.

TYLER ARRIVES IN FRANCE Continued from Page 1. elicit rapturous applause from the white passengers, was "Three Months From Now We Will Be In Germany." I had heard it Will said that the big waters frightened colored soldiers, but these colored soldiers aboard the ship I sailed appeared as contented, self-centered, and care-bereft on the big ship at night, when lights were out, as they were down in Alabama, Virginia, Mississippi, and other southern states from whence most of them cance. Their contentment at sea, and when in the submarine zone, constituted another disillusion among these troopers were some clever boxes, and the monotone "Just sky and water" was frequently broken by some rattling boxing matches between these troopers for proprietary pursues which the white passengers contributed merely out of admiration and respect for these big, brave black boys, who did not fear to come over here to fight for world democracy. An amusing incident took place, the second day out. Forty or fifty of the colored soldiers had formed a circle and were singing to their hearts' delight, and the delight of the passengers. One of them, seemingly, changed his voice with each song or hymn. "What do you sing?" called down, from the upper deck, a good natured son of the Emerald Isle. Quick as a flash came the answer: "Sometimes I sing bass and sometimes I sing soprano." And it was true, for in the chorus he adapted himself to the type of the song he was singing, to the circumstance, to the other singers, and above all, perhaps, to his mood. Because they were lighthearted, cheerful when going across the big waters, it must not be accepted they were merely lighthearted because of lack of brain development, for among them were bright intelligent men, graduates of bright university and other accredited schools. OFF TO THE FRONT FOR NEWS OF "OUR BOYS." I shall tarry but a day or two here in Paris; only until I get my itinerary, tentatively made out, and then I shall be off to the front where our colored soldiers are stationed, and I go to the front with the same absence of fear that characterized the colored troopers who sailed for France on the ship with me. In my next letter I hope to have been able to secure some real, permissible news about what the colored soldiers—our boys—have done, and are doing to maintain the race's traditional reputation for bravery, endurance and patriotism, and to help "make the world safe for democracy." If this world democracy we are fighting for is like the sample I have been made acquainted with, from New York to Paris, I have no doubt what they are putting up a whaling good fight to land the Democracy pennant for the United States—our own, and only country.
