No11 Federal Emp AGENT POSED AS RESPECT MADE APPEAL AT COL Philadelphia Married Wrible Story of Experien Office---Makes Sworn and Confession to Philadelphia, Nov. 11—Mrs. Clara Green, a young married woman, brought a horrible story of mistreatment and insult to Dr. R. R. Wright, president of the Colored Protective Association. She not only told the story but said she was willing to go on the stand and swear to it. The Protective Association took the matter up. Bishop L. J. Coppin, Drs. W. P. Graham, R. J. Williams, Alexander Hannum and R. R. Wright laid the matter before the U. S. Employment Service, and demanded the dismissal of the offender, S. A. Klessal. The case is revolting because the man, Klesal (a white man) has been visiting colored churches, making speeches and pretending to be such a good friend to the colored people. Below is the sworn statement of Mrs. Green: MRS. GREEN'S STATEMENT "Personally appeared before me, this day of November 1913, Mrs. Clara Green, who makes the following sworn statement as to the facts in the case presented below: "I went to the Government Employment Office on Broad street, between Lombard and South. Tuesday, October 29th about 6:15. There was no one in the waiting room when I entered. In the private-office I saw a gentleman sitting. I sat there a while before he stood up and looked out in the waiting room, then asked me to come back there. When I got back there he asked me how old I was. I told him I was 21. He said You are not 21. I said I was. He asked me to take off my gloves and I took them off. He asked me to take off my hat. And I took that off. He then asked me if my mother was living and I said No. He asked me if my father was living. I told him yes. He asked me what my father did. He told farming. Then he asked me if I had ever been out to work with a crowd of men, and I said, no, only with my brothers. Then he asked me if I was married. He asked me so many unnecessary questions I told him no. Then he asked me if I had a f low and if the fellow ever hugged me and loved me on the street and I said no, my parents did not bring me up that way. He asked me how did I first start out courting. I told him the fellows at my home were not like the fellows in Philadelphia because at my home the fellows treated respectable girls with respect. Then he asked me if my fellow ever took me out for a good time and I told him when I wanted a good time I went down to the Standard Theatre. He said "Don't your fellow ever take you out and put a good feeling on you?" I asked. Then he said: "how much does the average man give the average girl when he took her home a good time?" I told him I did not know anything about it because I was no sporting woman. I told him I was a poor girl and did not have much education but put myself up to the highest white girl or colored girl going. WIEE IN CHICAGO: "Then he said: 'I am a married man but my wife is in Chicago and I know all about these questions I am asking you, and he said 'whether you make your friend have a good feeling or not wouldn't you like to make me have a good feeling since my wife and nobody is here?' Then he put his hand on my knee. I said 'you have a wife and said but' she is in Chicago. (WJ) We have friends of your own kind, and he said, 'all my friends are in Chicago.' LOCKS-DOOR. PUTS KEY IN HIS POCKET. Then went to the door and locked it and put the key in his pocket, and turned out all the electric lights I began to cry, and said, Turn the lights on, please. Then he said, 'Oh, do you think I will hurt you? I have to turn out the lights to save fuel.' I said 'You don't have to turn out the lights and leave me here in the dark.' When I began dying again he turned on two lights in the waiting room, but left the door locked and I was back in his office and the only light turned on was in the front office. Then I said, 'Listen, does the government require all of these unnecessary questions? If so, I would not have the job, and I said, I feel as tho I do not want to answer these questions' He said, 'Yes the Government requires all of these questions and you will have to answer these before you. get a job. So many girls come in here who would not say anything when I turned the lights out and lock the door. ACCOMPLISHES PURPOSE IN THE DARK "After I had gotten up and started out he told me that there would be in the morning, two ladies at the desk in the waiting room who worked there and he told me to tell them that he sent me to them and they would give me a job. I asked him what was his name, and he said 'My name is Kiesal,' and I said 'Very much obliged Mr. Kiesal,' and said goodbye. Then he said, I do not know whether I locked the door or not, and went to the door and turned the handle as though he had not locked it. He said 'Be sure to come and get the job.' " "When I got up he said 'Can't you just give me a little loving before you go.' I said 'No, I don't do anything like that. I am a decent girl and things like decent girls of your kind do.' 'Oh, he said, that doesn't make any difference, I won't make anyone know anything.' The last thing I was I have found you to be a perfectly respectable girl because many girls of your color would not have hollowed when I turned out the lights and would have said nothing when I locked the door." "When I came back the next day I saw the two girls sitting at tables, one white and one colored and the white girl told me to go to 1313 Arch street. The colored girl asked her why she did not give me a business card. While the white girl was writing the card, I asked the colored girl if the Government required a lot of masty, dirty questions to be asked to get a job and I began to tell her some of the things this Mr. Kiesel asked me. The white girl heard me and told me she would see about it and told me to come back at 4:15. I went back the next day at 4:15 and the white girl took me down to 1313 Arch street. When we got there the lady was there but we waited till all the people got out of the office, and when we saw her, her name was Mrs. Olach, I believe; and she said I could not see her that night as it was too late but that I might get there tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. I went back yesterday at 10 o'clock and I told her what Mr. Kiesel had said to me, and asked me if I would tell this same story before Mr. Kiesel and I said I would. I told her I was married and would bring my husband. She asked me who I lived with, and I told her my aunt and she told me to bring my aunt with me, but I said "No my husband has to be in this." "They gave me a job but I did not go to it because I wanted to get this thing straight. The white girl told me to make as little of it as possible, and not bring my husband down there. Then I went to see Dr. Wright of the Colored Protective Association, and he was not in and I went back to him this morning. He told him all about it, and he said it was a shame the way I was treated and that he would have the whole thing investigated by the proper authorities. He sent me to see my pastor, Dr. Graham, and told me to make this statement to him which I have now made. ANNAPOLIS COURT NOW AT CASE 41 Annapolis, Md., Nov. 14.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, MD. FRIDAY, NOV. 15, 1918 FOR THE BOYS OVER THEME UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN FUND FOR THE BOYS OVER THERE New York, November 12—When the United War Work Campaign opened Monday of this week and the hundreds of thousands or solicitors in every city, town and rural district in the United States started to raise the millions needed for the fund, certain true-blue American citizens were able to sit back and watch the rest of the country dig down in its pockets, their quotas in some instances doubled, tripled and even quadrupled. These true-blue citizens were none other than Georgia and North Carolina Negroes. With a friendly competition o1 in these States between colored and white people as to which will first subscribe their allotment, R. H. King, campaign director for the Southwestern Army Department has wired Dr. John R. Mott, head of the Y. M. C. A., that in one county Nongroes already have raised $2350 in cash. Their share of the quota is $3000. The white citizens in consequence have been given a new quota of their own. A county in North Carolina furnishes the piece de resistance, however. Here the quota for the entire county was $14,000. The colored citizens imagined this sum was their share and hence have, cheerfully raised the full amount that both races had been asked for. FIREMAN SAVES LIVES Waycross, Ga., Nov. 10. - After the white engineer of the Dixie Flyer had jumped for his life, A. F. Herndon brought the train to a standstill on a steep grade and saved hundreds of lives. REV. SKIPWITH AT PETERSBURG Petersburg, Va., Nov. 10—The well-known evangelist, Dr. W. H.

B. SUNDAY WEEPS. Providence, R...L, Nov. 12—Billy Sunday wept last Sunday night at the tabernae where he is conducting services here, after hearing a chorus of 1200 colored folk sing folk-songs. Paying a tribute to the race he heard in the Negroes, the Negroes enough fight in the matches and to buy Liberty Bonds, his girl is good enough to work along side of any white girl in the mutilations factories." Colored Physicians Serving as Privates Receive Commissions Washington, Nov. 14—Announcement is made that a number of colored physicians, who have been serving as privates in the military service have been given commissions as lieutenants in the Army Medical Corps and have been assigned to active duty in several of the colored schools where units of the Students' Army Training Corps are established and young colored men are receiving instruction in collegiate and vocational branches, in connection with their training in military science and tactics.

DORSEY GETS "MANSLAUGHTER" James Arthur Dorsy, age 23, who shot into a crowd of his pursuers killing one of them last September in the neighborhood of Dover and Pratt Sts., was found guilty of manslaughter before Judge Stanton last week in the Criminal Court. Sentence was withheld temporarily. Dorsy was the sixth murderer to come before the court in the past two weeks. The other five had been judged guilty of murder in the first degree by the jury, so that Lawyer McCard acting for Dorsy elected to have his prisoner thrown on the mercy of the judge rather than on the jury. States Attorney Harry Nice referred to Dorsy as a bully, and as the most insolent prisoner who had yet stood upon the stand. There was absolutely no fear in Dorsy's behavior during the trial. He stood on the stand and leaned over the rail while talking, and punctuated his statements by such remarks as "I sure did." His voice was calm and clear, as if back of it were the assurance that his deed was in pure self defense. The Afro Is Issued Thursday at Six On Sale at News Stands Friday Morning. PRICE 5 CENTS A Platform Upon Which Negroes of the United States Can Unite in Fight for the Rights of Oppressed Peoples Here. 1. The Negro wants the right to vote and the privilege of exercising that right in casting his ballot, because he knows this to be one of the fundamental rights of the citizens of a Republic; and that any set of people who are denied the privilege of exercising this right, will be rendered powerless in helping to shape civic affairs in the community, state of country of which they are a part. 2. BETTER EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IN THE SOUTH The Negro wants this because he recognizes education as the lever by which a people are lifted up. He is capable of receiving it, is anxious for it, and needs it to help make him a better citizen, meets every requirement, and provides for the establishment. It will all classes of institutions. 3. THE ABOLISHMENT OF SO-CALLED "JIM-CROW" SYSTEM Nothing has served to estrange the races in the South and create feelings of bitterness so much as the iniquious "Jim Crow" cars. Even though the statutes of the Southern States call for "separate but equal accommodations for white and colored passengers" there is not a road in the South that lives up to the demands whatever is made in the price of kins of injustice and discrimination to accommodations and treatment. The privileges of sleeping cars and dining cars are thrown open for white passengers, but repeatedly denied to colored passengers. 4. DISCONTINUANCE OF UNJUST DISCRIMINATORY REGULATIONS AND SEGREGATION IN THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT. In a Republic like ours, a premium should be placed on efficiency and faithfulness to duty. This rule or principle is ignored when it comes to colored persons serving in the various governmental departments. They are subjected to humiliating conditions and discriminations; denied the benefits of promotion in line of efficient service. They have been refused assignment to work even after passing the required examination, certified to and sent on for appointment with the highest rating on the eligible list. In many cases, colored persons have been notified of appointment, and on written order, desigraphic orders, come to Washington and reported for duty at a given salary named; and on appearing at the said department or bureau, have been turned away with the filmsy excuse that "some mistake has been made somewhere." 5. THE SAME MILITARY TRAINING FOR COLORED YOUTHS AS FOR WHITES. This means military training of a certain and well-regulated standard, provided for and given in government institutions, or under direction of the government. This should be applied to white and colored youths alike. This is not the case now; as colored youths are denied admittance to our War and Navar Colleges. It is not fair to the spirit of valor and patriotism to refuse or withhold promotions to higher ranks from colored soldiers who have shown their valor on the battlefield, stood every test and proven their worth. The military is a strict adherence to the rule of obedience and faithfulness to duty. 7. REMOVAL OF THE PEONAGE SYSTEM IN THE SOUTH In certain sections of the South, colored people are subjected to labor conditions very little, removed from slavery. Advantage is taken of their ignorance and hardships are imposed to the point of suffering. They are in many cases powerless to prevent such or 65 defend themselves against it; and they feel that their only deliverance is to leave the South. 8. AN ECONOMIC WAGE SCALE TO BE APPLIED TO WHITE AND COLORED ALKIE. There is too much difference made in the scale of wages applied to colored persons as compared with the wages paid to white persons performing the same class of work. The cost of living is just as high for one as for the other and a proper recognition of this fact and an economic wage scale that has no color line will go a long way in helping to dignify labor. 9. BETTER HOUSING CONDITIONS FOR COLORED EMPLOYES IN INDUSTRIAL PLANTS. One of the things that contributes to the spirit of restlessness and dissatisfaction among Negroes is the utter disregard of the necessity of encouraging better home life for the laboring classes. This is particularly true of those who live in what is known as "quarters" on large plantations. The day has passed for the shack or one room slanty. The people want homes provided with quarters so they can rest and relax. Some have taught the virtue of these things; to have aspirations for them and the withholding of them simply makes them feel that there is no use—no hope. 10. BETTER SANITARY CONDITIONS IN CERTAIN SECTIONS OF OUR CITIES AND TOWNS. It is a common complaint that in too many cases, the municipal authorities pay very little attention to having proper sanitary facilities in sections where the majority of residents are colored people; thus fostering troubles and public misuses which could be averted if a more reasonable consideration were shown for the interests of all the people. 11. REFORMS IN PENAL INSTITUTIONS OF THE SOUTH. In too many cases young colored boys and too, young girls, whose first offence is some petty misdemeanor, are sent to prison for long terms and place with hardened criminals, under such conditions as to make it hard for them to reform. While for like offences white youths are placed in some well regulated reformatory and given a chance to outlive the mistake and become useful citizens. 12. A FAIR TRIAL BY JURY INSTEAD OF LYNCHING. No people are safe in a community where mob violence is tolerated. Violators of law should be punished, but by the process of law. The lynching spirit has become so strong in some sections that it borders one a disregard of all law, order and decency. Innocent people are often the victims of the mob; and the peace and well-being of the entire community is seriously affected thereby. 13. RECOGNITION OF THE NEGRO'S RIGHT AND FITNESS TO SIT ON JURIES. The jury system is one of the fundamental principles of our government and the privilege to exercise this right should be extend- Just as the Negro has been among the first to give his best, his all on the altar of his country in every struggle, for the defense of its flag, so he wants and expects equal opportunity for all. This is the same opportunity of the fruits thereof. This he regards as but a proper, liberal and reasonable interpretation of what is guaranteed to him by the constitution under which he lives and to uphold which he scriedlessly his all LOWRY TURNS DETECTIVE WITH GOOD RESULTS. Mr. Baall Lowry, who has his barber shop at 612 W. Biddle street was robbed of a kit of tools twenty years ago, and altho he turned his case over to the police never saw the thief nor the tools. When another thief passing by the name of "Johnson" accepted a position in Mr. Lowry's shop, last week long enough to place a, hair cutting apron around one customer and then watching his chance darted out the front door with two pairs of clippers and a good razor, Mr. Lowry got his walking stick and hled himself to look up the thief without reporting it to the police. He got results too, for he cornered Johnson in a saloon, and seizing him in the nape of the neck and holding the threatening walking stick over his head walked the criminal to the Northwestern Police station. Mr. Lowry is a firm believer in the old adage "If you want a thing well done do it yourself," especially since he went down to court Tuesday and got his clippers and razor back. WAR WORK CAMPAIGN PARADE “Y” Secretaries Shine and the War Mothera March Proudly. Colored soldiers from nearby camps played their part in the make-up of the floats in the War Work Campaign parade last Saturday afternoon. As performers on string instruments or as singers and dancers they were bandwounded in with the whites and aroused favorable comment. A colored section marched in the rear of the W. C. C. s unit, and was led by Dr. Wm. H. Weaver, secretary of the Orchard Street Club. Members of the executive committee rode in an automobile, while behind them in a truck were the chairmen of the War Mothers and the unit. The chairmen of the War Mothers, who held very proudly with their colors, held itself together and kept in line until the very end. The Y. M. C. A. camp secretaries presented a splendid appearance and were repeatedly cheered. They were their uniforms well and were in a good place in the unit. Mechanics and repairers without arms, from Camp Holabird brought up the rear. They were not as carefully trained in marching as the military from other camps, but they showed up well. MARRIAGE Miss Maude G. Sampson, of Savannah, Ga., and Mr. James D. White of this city were quietly married Thursday, Nov. 7, 1918 at the home of the groom's parents in Govans. After the ceremony they were given a reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Lyles also in Govans. Mr. and Mrs. White are making their home at 526 Robert street. SURPRISE WEDDING Surprise wedding was that of Mrs. Mattie Webb, widow or the late Oliver E. Webb to Mr. Chas. W. Stewart, of Ohio. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. James C. Martin at his home, 1155 N. Carey street on Wednesday, October 23rd, 1918. This comes as a surprise to their many friends. THE WAR OVER News of the surrender of Germany bringing with it practically the end of the war produced universal jubilation all over the city. Visions of the returning boys floated thru the minds of relatives and a vivid imagination could distinguish each and every soldier in overseas equipment marching thru the principal streets of the city amid the hurrahs of thousands. Many visitors came into the Afro-American office to find out if the news of the rurrender wore really true and one old woman with wrinkled features relaxed into a smile of almost unexpressible joy upon receiving the confirmation. Churches are expected to be crowded on Sunday with worshippers expressing their prayers if thanksgiving for the war's close. Centennial M. E. Sunday School Goes "Over the Top." Monday, Nov. 11 1918 will always stand as a memorable date in the world's history. For Centennial M. D. Sunday School it has a double significance, for it was on that peace night that Centennial held its "Over the Top" Celebration and Piano Presentation exercises. Less that eight months ago the school purchased a $225.00 piano and in the attempt to raise $70 balance the neat sum of $105.40 was raised. The celebration took the form of a musical in which the following persons performed: Miss Hermione and Constantia Wharton, Messrs. Llewellyn Wilson, R. Brownley, Harry T. Pratt and Prof. Mason A. Hawkins. The program was indeed a varied one and the appreciable audience showed its delight in its round of applause and frequent requests. The piano stands as a gift of the Sunday School to the Church authorities. Mr. Luther C. Mitchell made the presentation address for his brother, George W. Mitchell, who is serving the colors "Somewhere in France" the address of acceptance made by the vampire, Julius S. Carroll. The ladies of the Ecstasy Timorelle Neighborhood Club served as ushers. All who attended the celebration agreed that it was "a taste of the beautiful as expressed in musical art." Miss Myrtle Scott of Mt. Winns, Baltimore. Md. returned home Monday from a very pleasant visit with a very distinguished family that one of her dear friends in the person of Miss Frances Proctor; 1231 Jefferson street stops with Mr. and Mrs. James L. Diggs of Boring, Md. The feature of her enjoyment was riding around viewing the most beautiful county. She arrived in the city of Baltimore just in time to join the great celebra- tion Friina Perkins of 1805. Me Transactions in the Field of Real Estate Watch this corner for buying and selling of property. One of the most interesting and what is likely to turn out as one of the most profitable investments of the week is the purchase of a fifteen room house on Madison avenue near Mosher street by Henry S. Trimble, who is associated with Josiah Diggs in the Dunbar Theatre. The property is $22x120 and has a ground rent of $264. Mr. Trimble expected to put colored tenants in his new house, but Jews in the neighborhood, who had never before had a colored land owner in their vicinity got together and begged him to accept white renters instead. Laborers are now at work on the premises, so that when 'he house is finished it will have twenty-two rooms instead of fifteen and will be furnished from cellar to attic by Mr. Trimble, who will rent it out as furnished apartments.

Hasselbeck of 115 Winter Street, South Baltimore, MD, age 65, has been an invalid for five years and after being treated by some of our best physicians for paralysis was as helpless as a baby.

But today she has been miraculously restored so far as not to even need a cane. And she can go up and down stairs. She has been under the treatment of Edward Young, known to be a divine or a scriptural physician who is able to cure many things without drugs. 1256 Union street S. W., Washington, D.C.

Richardson --- ANDERSON—Bessie, A., beloved wife of Albert Anderson. Mass for benediction at st. Aliosys Church, Washington, D. C. Sunday November 17 1918. Mr. Anderson is a well known contractor of East Baltimore. THE FORETOLD THE GREAT WORLD WAR AND ALSO RE-VEALED THE EXACT DATE OF THE KAISER'S ABDICATION AND PEACE Some 14 years ago while at a banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York, the Rev. Dr. Leo S. Osmann foretold in detail the work and on August 5, 1914, he received the following telegram at Baltimore, Md. Osmann Leo S. Osman Some years ago he predicted the greatest war would take place in 1914. It has come. You are wonderful. On the same date he was interviewed by a reporter of the Baltimore News and questioned as to how he came to know about the world war so many years ahead and how he could state the accurate date. Rev. Osman told the reporter that he got his dom from the Bible and added that he saw almost the whole world ablaze with war. He could see nothing but War, War, War. When asked if our country would be involved, he replied "We have a very wise and powerful man at the heart of our country and he will keep it back for a while. The reporter, amused, said "What, you mean that our country will also enter the great conflict." The Reverend said "Yes, I saw our country in war too." He begged the reporter not to take the statement public as his life would be endangered if this news were published. When the war was 1 year old many people said it would soon be over, but the Reverend said "No, it will not be over soon, it will be a war of 4 or 5 years." When America entered the war, and he realized that what was true, he began to oversee the great problem isolated himself to the grave situation. When we saw him again he said "Our country will win this war." About six months ago he told us that he saw our victory and the Kaiser's defeat and death. Last month he came into our newspaper office and said "It is all over, the war is won." When we remarked "year" he said "It will positively be over within us." Now you know for yourself if this wonderful man is not the greatest prophet of the day. Now HOW and WHEREFROM does the Reverend Doctor obtain his sturling information? To learn the source of his knowledge was the object of our reporter's call, because graduating him is true prophecy on him at his Temple when peace was declared and we were positive the war was ended, as he had correctly foretold, we found him very busy, many, many people called on him to thank him for his great effort in helping to win the war thus his powerful prayers, Blessed Incessant, candles, etc., the prayers he administered on the account of his statements concerning the ending of the war. When my turn came I asked him about his secret source of information on which he had built his prophecies. He took up a large Bible which looked so worn that it might well have been at the war front, and said: "As you see, I have many hundred books here which I consult, but the book I consult the most and in the greatest of times, is the BOOK of the Great Book. Now let me open it at random and here you read his gratex with interest," the faith, but the word of our God shall stand forever." What a glorious sentence from the inspired Isaiah. This book is of great service to anyone who honors it. The Lord and His Wisdom belongs to all ages, races and countries and will reveal God's fullest intentions towards man. You ask me how I find all secrets in this book. I will say that God reveals them to me. I take my Bible and go out into the open and look at the stars right into heaven, then I open God's Book. I will tell the subject in question and find the answer. It did not come to me in a month nor in a year, it took many, many years of study, prayer sacrifice and contemplation. The mysteries in Revelation are clearly the strong and loving desire of God to help man, through His wonder-works, the Bible. God draws aside the veil for a good purpose. You will find an answer to every question. I have used the word of God to understand humanity, solved some difficult problems and have brought happiness to many people who had hespaired of ever being happy. Their help came to them thrue, but my power and wisdom came to me through God's wonder book. I could say a great deal to you, but let me give you my favorite poem. O holy, holy Book of God. O holy, holy Book of God like thine. The tones that angels bow to hear Breathe thru these lines divine. And come with love's own melody From the King's heart to mine. The Bible will reward the most patient study of anyone; it is supreme, it is the Oracle of Oracle, it is the Light of Light, God reveals it. He put up his Word, the Bible, 1 powder over it and benefit humanity. So can you, study the Bible and you, too, will be wise." And thus in an abrupt way I was dismissed. As I walked away amazed at this man who revealed his secret of divining the unknown, from the Bible, I could not help admiring this great man of inspiration who disclaims the fortune telling, or prophecy but tells you phantasy and digs all his wisdom of the Bible, as you and I do. It takes one back to the olden time prophets, the men who were selected by God, and put His messages into their hearts, and made them predictors of events, of the future, and also preachers of the Gospel. Rev. Dr. Osman, we also congratulate you as all your friends and callers have done. Your prophets have come true your prayers and prayers are effective. May God bless and sustain you in your grand and great mission. Advertisement MORRISON, James—In loving remembrance, died November 18, 1912, 8.45 P. M.

Hawkins, former President of Kittrel College, N. C. and now directing the Financial Department of the A. M. E. Church through its Washington Office, recommend themselves as one basis upon which all of the colored people of the country can unite, now that the War is over, to bring home to America what they have been fighting for abroad. Mr. Hawkins' Fourteen Articles might be so amended as to include segregation in cities and discrimination in places of amusements, but even then it would be very difficult to enumerate all of the specific wrongs meted out to the Negro of America through the injustice of the whites. What the Negro wants after all is full manhood rights and citizenship identical with other citizens of America. He will be contented with no less than this and he will fight for no more than this. In his New York speech, ex-president Roosevelt remarked, "That as a result of the war we should apply the lesson that we have been learning and helping to teach abroad—that we should work steadily toward securing fair treatment for colored people, treating each individual as his or her conduct requires you to treat him." As the ex-President remarks, we need not expect the millenium after the war, but we do expect that colored people will unite on some such platform as Mr. Hawkins suggests, so there will be no doubt in the minds of any Americans, white or black, where they stand. WAR WORK CAMPAIGN of the Peace Treaty and the abolition will not affect the need of five York Campaign is trying to raise the campaign is going on. Every citizen by a worker of the Committee thirty-one for the benefit of the Rights of Columbus, Salvation Army, Up Community Service, and Amend of these organizations will go on and maybe two years, until the men in home and mustered out. With serious attention of the men in local organizations must be redoubled by recreation and activity for them are ought to be no let up in contrib. to colored southern communities we before the campaign opened is amend and attempt to imitate. ELECTIONS Election of J. V. Coleman, H. J. Coleman Lower House of the West Virgina Election of William Riley, optician of the State Legislature. The el. A. E.

The el. remarkable, not only for this fact, be none of the counties which elect majority of Negro voters. Of St. Louis, was elected in a wholly passed the segregation ordinance. E-election in New York was largely sign when whites will vote for only because they are more fitted over persons on the ticket. The signing of the Peace Treaty and the abdication of the German Emperor will not affect the need of funds which the United War Work Campaign is trying to raise this week. A house to house campaign is going on. Every citizen in the city will be visited by a worker of the Committee to solicit one day's pay in thirty-one for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army, Jewish Welfare, War Camp Community Service, and American Library Association. The work of these organizations will go on for at least a year yet and maybe two years, until the men in France have been brought home and mustered out. With no fighting to occupy the serious attention of the men in camp, the efforts of these several organizations must be redoubled in order to provide healthy recreation and activity for the soldiers. For this reason there ought to be no let up in contributions and the example of two colored southern communities which subscribed their quota before the campaign opened is one that Baltimore can commend and attempt to imitate. With the election of J. V. Coleman, H. J. Capehart and T. G. Nutter to the Lower House of the West Virginia State Legislature; the election of William Riley, optician of St. Louis to lower house of the State Legislature. The election in West re-election of A. E. Johnson as Assemblyman in New York, there are presented three states in which colored men will sit next year as legislators. Perhaps never before, since the days of Reconstruction, have there been as many as three colored representatives in the Lower House of a State Legislature. The election in West Virginia is remarkable, not only for this fact, but for the fact, also, that in none of the counties which elected these three men is there a majority of Negro voters. Dr. Riley, of St. Louis, was elected in a white district by whites who passed the segregation ordinance for St. Louis two years ago. Johnson's re-election in New York was largely due to colored voters. It is a good sign when whites will vote for Negroes at an election, largely because they are more fitted to represent them than other persons on the ticket. OBLATE SISTERS CAMPAIGN. one campaign to raise ten thousands, undertaken by the Oblate cholic organization in this city, com War Work Campaign, it should nuncis Academy, Chase and Forre the Orphans is maintained by the organization established in Baltimore all these years by the first Co the United States. signs for Liberty Loans, Red Cross Although the campaign to raise ten thousand dollars for Colored Orphans, undertaken by the Oblate Sisters of St. Francis, a Catholic organization in this city, comes at the same time with the War Work Campaign, it should not be overlooked. The St. Francis Academy, Chase and Forrest Sts., where the home for the Orphans is maintained by the Sisters, is the work of an organization established in Baltimore in 1825 and carried through all these years by the first Colored Catholic Sisterhood in the United States. The campaigns for Liberty Loans, Red Cross and other War activities have kept the Oblate Sisters from coming before the public in their campaign effort before this time. Unless their treasury now is repleted, their work of clothing, feeding and giving shelter to the offcast and homeless offsprings of society will be seriously limited and perhaps altogether interrupted. Another feature of the campaign that should be especially interesting to Baltimoreans is that Rev. John H. Dorsey, one of the four Colored Catholic Priests in the country, who is directing the work at St. Monica's, is director of the campaign. The campaign will last until December 16th, so that with the War Work Campaign out of the way this week, Baltimoreans can combine to place St. Francis Academy on a working basis again. Tax returns for the Year 1918 on property owned by Negroes in the State of Georgia shows an increase of seven million dollars over the previous year. This included three million dollars worth of hogs, horses and cattle accumulated only last year. One significant feature in the tax returns shows that over $700,000 was spent for automobiles, which is about the same amount of money that was spent for real estate in Georgia during the past year. There might be some people who would condemn Georgians for putting such a large amount of money in gasoline vehicles, but the Georgian knows that in the case of the usual state outbreak he can take up his automobile and leave, while his real estate holdings would be a total loss to him. The very day that peace was declared Joseph Demport of Philadelphia and William Thomas of Washington were sentenced to ten years imprisonment as conscientious objectors. Had they known that peace was to be made so soon they might have voted for over-seas work when they were drafted a year ago. J. Max Barber, a Philadelphia physician, wrote to the Public Ledger that the American Press continually shows its contempt for the great Negro race, and of the oldest and hardiest of the races of men by beginning the name of that race with a small "n". He added that there was absolutely no excuse, except ignorance and prejudice, for such a violation of one of the elementary rules of grammar. That same day the Public Ledger, in an editorial on "Justice of the Negro" published the word "Negro" capitalized, but in its news columns used a small "n" as usual. One of the timely utterances of the War was the speech of Mr. Emmet J. Scott, published in last week's issue of the Afro-American, in which he protested against the restoration to Germany of her African Colonies, intimated that they should not be given to England, and urged that the Allies should make them independent under an International Commission. One of the tests as to whether this great World War was a War for Democracy or not will be the disposition made of what Mr. Scott calls the oppressed and betrayed peoples of Africa. Ralph Tyler, News Correspondent of the Bureau of Public Information, to report activities of the Negro Troops on the Front, got to Europe just in time to take part in the shouting. Left to right—1. Brynmore Wright, died of disease. 2. Pvt. Alfred Freeman, wounded and returned to his regiment. 3. First Sergt. Clarence Johnson, A. D. 351st F. A. 4. Pvt. Shipley. Just a line from a very busy Camp where they are proving guns for overseas use, and making aviators for air service. The colored brother is doing his bit here to help Uncle Sam to win the war. The different units here are under Mr. James Tate who is doing his part well. The men in the different units banded together to give Mr. Tate a token of their regard and esteem, and presented him with a very handsome gold watch and Mr. Clarence Johnson who is the Labor Agent for this camp came in for like present a very pretty watch. The committee was composed of the heads of the different units of the camp with Gen. Geo. Carter as chairman with Messrs. A. P. Rogess, Roland Hill, Edward Hammond. There was a balance left of the funds from which the presents were made, and at the next meeting this men, to the Young Men Christian Association, were sent. When consent is received from the proper authority this committee proposes to give an entertainment for the benefit of the Association. The presentation speeches were made by Messrs. Geo. Carter, Jas. N. V. Stith, Roland Hill and others. The Afro-American is seen in all parts of the camp. While writing this letter the camp is afire with music and marching of the soldiers of' this post because of the German signing of the Armistice. "GIVE US SOME Auto Truck with Peace Celebrators Carries Unique Sign BY DEAN WM. PICKENS The colored American is a constant study to me, always interesting. There are many admirable things in the "common bread" of them always coming to light. One of these is the quiet, orderly and yet effective way in which they can "put one over." Yesterday in New York and the Oranges coveted a celebrating VICIARY. The Negro was not hukewarm; he joined in, as he ought. When the great parade was going through the Jersey cities, he was there, with his horns, his tin cans, his song and his almighty laugh. But one of the large vehicles in which a number of colored people rode had a wide strip of canvas on each side, and painted on it in large neat capitals, while the occupants made merry,—merrier than anybody else,—were these words: Give US some of that democracy! With us underscored you. The impressionistic. Meanwhile there was no sulk in the Negro. He entoured the occasion. POCOMOKE MAN BRINGS STRAWBERRIES TO MARKET Poconice City, Md., Nov. 13—Mr. George W.

To the Editor The Afro-American Dear sir— Enclosed herewith you will find a program rendered by the boys of the above named Battery at the Camp Y. M. C. A. on Saturday, October 12, 1918 and as the majority of this Battery is made up of Marylanders we though we would send you copy of your book and space in your most estimable paper. It would be quite amusing to you if you could see the mad rush for the Afro and other race papers when they arrive, usually about a month late but always most welcome. We are all quite well here and as merry as no others but us can be have been very busy attending the schools very all over from a primary to problems requiring knowledge of Higher Mathematics and Technology, also we have weekly athletic programs and that with our Inter-Battery Religious Services have done much to promote the feeling of good fellowship that exist in, and between the Batteries. We think that this Regiment is a credit to the race as is all of the other regiments that are made up of soldiers and our allies to be cooled by none other than the fact that our race we have set an almost killing pace, we intend to catch up and out distance them if that is possible, and if not then we will keep up the good work. The Colonel of this regiment lately promoted to Brigadier General and has of course been relieved from duty with us which was good enough for him to hold the regiment, but he was with us long enough to see his hope as expressed on the occasion of his making the first non-commissional officer of the Field Artillery. "This is the first time in the history of the world that it has been attempted to make a colored cannon in America today that say it cannot be done, but we know better and so you are here to prove it. I know you can and I am with you, I want you to make such a regiment that I will be proud to be your Colonel and I am going to try to treat you so that you will be proud of the regiment. It all rests with you and I know you will not fall." F. S. We go in for many athletes but we are most proud of our football team. We have just started our season, have played only two games both victories for Battery E, but with such material on hand as the biggest universities in the States) under the able leadership of Sgt. William Harris, one time assistant coach at Howard University we are already claiming the oversas championship. Line up of Battery E—R. E., Clarence Dogan; R. T. Art, Fisher; R. G., Richard L.

Corporal Clarence Davis, 808 Pioneers writes to Mrs. Justina P. Davis Division street, that everything is getting along fine now that the Germans are retreating so fast that they can hardly be caught up with. He says he is sorry not to spend Thanksgiving at home, but thanks the Lord for that he has not been wounded, altho he has been in the danger zone. --- SERGT. RYAN GASSED. New York, Nov. 7, '18 Dear Editor:— Just a line to your Afro that Sergeant Charles Ryan, of the Motor Transport Company, has returned from France after having several encounters with the Germans, being slightly wounded and gassed. He is now improving and expects to be with his wife in a few weeks. He is well known among the chaeffeurs in Northwest Baltimore. GOT HIMSELF A BUNCH OF GERMANS A letter received from Private Jas W. Dorsey of Co. A. 3681 Infantry, by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Prince A. Dorsey, of Cooksville, says "My dear Mother: — "I am in a hospital in France with a machine gun wound in my left shoulder, but am getting along pretty good now. I am able to walk around a little. "Tell Fisher I got myself a bunch of the Dutchmen before they got me and they weren't even fit for a hospital either. I have not heard from any of you since the last of Septembr. How you all are well. I expect to be in the hospital a good while yet, until about Christmas. Don't worry about me for I am getting on fine now and will soon be able to get around good." SAYS JESUS WAS WITH THEM Private Wm. E. Tlighman, an old First Separate Company boy, now with the 372nd Infantry, Company I, says that the Baltimore boys are doing their part in the trenches in France. In a letter to the Afro-American he adds "when you see those words over the top," just think of the Baltimore boys. When they went over some of them hummed "If Jesus goes with us we will go anywhere." And take it from me; Jesus was with us all the way. He closes his letter by saying "Please send me an Afro every week" SEVERAL WOUNDED BUT RETURNED TO DUTY. Mrs. Margaret Freeman, 1217 Park avenue, received word from the War Department last week that her son was severely wounded in action about May 20th, and returned to his regiment June 9th. The telegram was signed by the Adjutant General of the Army and is a good index of how far the casualty lists are behind in their reporting wounded men from the French front. Prince Alfred Freeman is a member of the old First Separate Company and was later transferred to Company C, 372nd Infantry. He is 21 years old and is six feet two inches tall. DIED OF DISEASE IN FRANCE Private Brymorne Wright, listed in Sunday's casualty list under the head of died of disease in France, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wright, who reside at 530 W. Biddle street. His cheerful disposition and many qualities won him a host of friends in this city and in the army. --- Mrs. Ida V. Lewis, 1711 N. Brize street received a letter from her husband, who is in the 2nd company 303 Stevedore Regiment saying that there was absolutely no necessity of her worrying herself in the acquaintance he is getting along fine and has not as yet seen anything like trouble. GREAT TO BE A SOLDIER Mervain L. Taylor, Battery F. 351st F. A. writes to his mother that they only have three seasons in France July, August and Winter. He says it is great to be a soldier and travel over the world and that he is having such a fine time that he hardly has the time to write and tell about it. WANTS TO BE REMEMBERED Private Thomas E. Jones, Battery D. 351st F. A. writes to his aunt, Gertrude Shipley, 1711 N. Bruce street says that he is well and wants to be remembered to his friends in Baltimore. Private Carroll Handy, with the Quartermaster corps in France writes to his mother 1826 McCulloh Street that he is well and getting along fine. A LETTER FROM FRANCE Mr. Robt H. Winston, of 402 E. 23rd street, received the third letter on Tuesday from his friend, Private Benjamin T. Caster stating that he is in France and that he will be with him he will be home some day. SHELL HOLE FLOP AND BARBED WIRE TANGO POPULAR Private Alfred McKinney writes to Miss Irene Johnson, 1454 N. Caroy street and says he wishes it had been possible for his friends to have attended a dance in "No Man's Land" o few nights ago. "We had a combined orchestra from the 349th, 350th, 351st and the 15th Infantry of New York. Some music. I guess you would like to have the names of some of the newest dances pulled off. They are "Over the Top Shottische"—"Barbee Live"—"The Booche Strangle"—"The Shell Hole Flop"—"The Sohrapnel Slide" and the "Enamel Hop." Some swallow alight. "Keep on the look out for the new dances, I am sure it will not be many days before they are popular in the monumental city. CRAZY TO GET HOME. My class I drop you these lines to let you know that I am well and hope you are in the best of health. Papa, do not forget to pray for me. There is a big change in me now, and I will be a better boy than I was when I was in the States and will be better if I get back home, and if I don't I hope to meet you in heaven. I pray every night and the Lord-has answered my prayers so far and I believe He will answer all of them. This is a funny place here, but it is a beautiful place, and I have seen so much that I am just crazy to get home to tell you all about it. Write me a long better soon, so I can write you one back. Your son, HERBERT J. GREEN. A LETTER FROM FRANCE A loving letter was received from Cook William H. Bell, of Battery C. 351st Field Artillery in France. The latter was received by his wife, Claire R. Bell, 412 Alquitch street. R. Bell cannot express how she received his letter, but he had sent her two presents of which one was a bottle of perfume which he asked me to sprinkle among his clothes so I guess he thinks he will be home soon and need them. He also said he was well and has enjoyed the best of life since he was over there. He sends love to his friends and hopes to see them soon. WANTS CANDY, CIGARETTES, AND A WATCH Sergeant Clarence A. Johnson, Battery D. 351st Artillery, writes to his wife at 1722 Mount street that he is going to send her a tag and that she is to get a box from the store for Christmas. He says he wants some chocolates, some Pledmonts, and a watch and when these are put in, the box will be about filled. He says he is earning every cent he gets these days, that he will have to wait and bring it but will have to wait and bring it home instead of sending it. A THEO WHITE In a letter to his mother, Theo White, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A White, 604 W. Lanvalle street begins "Date of Love "City of Kisses "State of Happiness." NEVER KNEW HE Private Andrew Moore, Company B Pioneer Infantry writes to his father at 1408 Mount street, that he is quartered in a French village and living in the spare places the people have in the city. It's his world trouble and come home again to dear America. "I never realized I loved it so well." FT:ENCH HAVE 10 CENT PAPER BILLS Sergent John T. Lyers, Battery D. 3517 writes to his sister at 1334 Mount street that wine is like water in France and if water is asked from the peasants, like as not they will offer money also be poultry the Americans, due to the fact that the French have ten cent pieces in paper money like an American greenback. "Sometimes a man can have a whole pocketful of paper money, and he would not have two dollars, if he were to count it up. The French women treat the men so line that a lot of them want to stay over the war ends. Some of them are talking of marrying already. . . . Send me an Afro once in a white. . . ." RECEIVED HELMET Miss Cassie E. Glascos, of 1624 Drudid Hill avenue, has just received from France a German Helmet of which she is very proud. He can be seen at the above address. It was sent by Sergt. Ossarew Gee, of the 808 Pioneer Infantry. HILTONS VISIT GREENSPRING Greenspring, Md., Nov. 13. Th-Thun has passed and those on the sick list are able to be out.

The following will show the status of the San Porter Fund: Hoe Newton D. Baker Secretary of War Washington, D. C. U.S. St. Embry in the year the attention of the Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense was called to the necessity of entering into ways and means of raising funds for the construction of a naval partner in connection with the Colored Base Hospital at Camp Meade as a means of bringing soldiers recovering from pneumonia. The Council made an appeal to the public for five hundred ($600) dollars to carry out this purpose. When the council had been raised a committee representing the Council visited Camp Meade and informed Lieutenant Council L. A. Kesener of the residence of the Council to request assistance. On April 1916 as a member of record, the Council addressed the following to Lt. Col. Kesener: In keeping with the conference with the Committee representing the Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense, we beg to advise you that as soon as you inform us that arrangements have been made to begin work on the Sun Prairie, the amount of money as per estimate is subject to your order. In reply to the above, Dr. Col. Kefner wrote the Council that, when labor was obtainable for that purpose he would communicate with us with reference to the matter. Dr. Col. Kefner also commily July 16th on that date we wrote him as follows. April 1, 1833, you addressed you with respect to recommending a support par力 for the colored negroes and stated that the amount of money called for as per estimate was subject to your order. In reply you wrote that when labor was obtainable for that purpose, you would communicate with us. Since that time we have not need from you. We would be pleased to have you write us as that we may advise the Council as to the probable time the work might begin. On July 20, 1833, you received letter from the officer in charge of the Base Hospital that the New Interior would need be constructed and that he would advise diverting the funds to another charitable purpose. In view of the premises above described and in consideration of the will expresses of the public to continue to such a wormy, nausea this comes to respectfully request that through the proper officers you permit the construction of the proposed San Pasco. We respectfully submit that the Council Division of the Maryland Council of Defense is remanded with the Council of Defense and is held in further testimony by the crimes of Mary land in general that its appeals are amenable to assume the public that the efforts to obtain the funds for the proposed san pasco party were made after consideration and with theensure sanctions and permission of the others then in charge of the Base Hospital at Camp Mead. Respectfully: The amount of funds collected for the San Porter aggregates to some extent seven hundred dollars. A result has come to the Treasurer for the return of some of the contributions under the impression that the San Porter will not be erected. The funds were collected in the name of the Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense and when a reply has been received from the War Department the contributors will be consulted as to the disposition of the funds of the report from the War Department is adverse. The Executive Committee of the Council will doubtless order the return of the funds to each contributor to give them an opportunity of others whose disposing of the funds. The whole matter is present in the hands of Hon. Emmet J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, Respectfully. A. L. GAINES Treasurer AFROS REACH LETTERS FRIDAY Lewis, Dell.

We will take up space and time enough however to say: First: The expenses were not $75.70 as was stated in The Afro-American, but were $57.10 with a balance of $17.50 on hand. Second: That of the amount of expenses no person on the committee received ONE PENNY for time given or work done, as the Afro would have you believe. Third: Of this expense we paid the Afro for each insertion of our public meeting making about $11.50 a little over 29% of the entire expense. Fourth: The Commonwealth and The Voice published the same meetings without one cent of charges. It may be because the representatives of the Commonwealth and the Voice were members of the Committee and no representative of the Afro was on the Committee. Fifth: We want the public to know that the "expense to which the committee was and which The Afro is "shoulding tears"? that the Afro received her share of the expense. Sixth and Last: De desire to say that The Annapolis Committee has assumed too much on itself when it attempts to stop the public from giving money to this committee for the Snowden case. We were the first to begin this movement and are prepared to give an accurate account for every dollar collected and used. We say to the people there and now that we are still in tact and will continue in this case until full justice is obtained, shall deter us.
