Budget of 1919 Shows Glaring Discrimination in Salaries of Teachers at Colored High and Training Schools. Teachers in the Elementary Schools Receive Equal Pay.
Up in the sanctum of the Board of School Commissioners of Baltimore City, where President Chapman, Secretary Roche and a number of other white men meet and decide over the destinies of the colored schools of the city as well as the white ones, gross, malignant race prejudice raised its last week. Without any colored representatives on the Board of enough white men honorable enough to speak up for the rights of colored citizens, a salary scale for teachers in the colored high school was projected and recommended to the Board of Estimates, under which coloured teachers will get far lower salaries than white teachers, for doing the same work.
The School Board contemplated raising the salaries of the teachers in all the city schools and did actually make the pay of the elementary school teachers white and colored the same.
When it came time to fix the salaries of the teachers in the Colored High School and in the Colored Training School, the School Board approved a salary scale giving $1,200 to $2,000 for white male teachers and $1,000 to $1,400 for colored male teachers. White female teachers in the high school were given salaries of $1,100 to $1,500 for colored female teachers who get from $800 to $1,300. Under the projected schema some white high school teachers will get $700 a year more than colored teachers for doing the same work.
TRAINING SCHOOL HIT ALSO
The training school for colored pupils is hit also. The new salary scale handed down by these demagogues of the School Board, who handle the peoples' money without regard for the fact that colored people pay taxes on $48,000,000, worth of property in the city, gives white teachers a salary of $1000 to $1600 per year and colored teachers a salary of $1000 to $1200. In some cases the whites are allowed $100 per year increase in salary and the colored-limited to $50 per year increase. The greatest difference lies in the salaries of white and colored heads of departments. The maximum for colored is $150s, and the maximum for whites is $2200.
MOST DASTARDLY SCHEME SINCE
SEGREGATION.
The attempt of the School Board to come out in the open in its discrimination against the higher schools of this city is viewed with alarm in several quarters. All of the Ministers' Meetings took the matter up for discussion at their weekly sessions and appointed committees to carry protest to the authorities. Men like Dr. Wm. L. Alexander, Dr. Wm. H. Wenver, who made a fight for colored teachers in the high school a quarter century ago were outspoken in their condemnation of the School Board's effort to curtail the opportunities for secondary and Normal education by keeping the teachers within the budget. The Budget was discussed during the week, it was regarded as the most dastardly blow at the morale of the colored people since Mayor Preston came forward with his lily-white segregation measure.
HIGH SCHOOL A NEGLECTED INSTITUTION.
No other public school in the city has been as assiduously and effectively neglected as the Colored High School. Plans for a modern school building approximating the structures in St. Louis and Washington, were worked out under the principalship of Dr. J. H. N. Waring eleven years ago but the Colored High School still occupies its old worn out building at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Dolphin street. The building is not only inadequate for class room work, but there is no
2 Baltimoreans Among Those to Receive Commissions at Hancock
room for a gymnasium, swimming pool, athlete grounds, shops or any of the improvements so necessary to the modern school.
BEST TEACHERS GONE ELSE WHERE.
Misses A. L. McCurry and Lucy Slowe, Messrs. Daniel Brooks, Paul Brock, Dwight Holmes, G. David Houston and Thomas W. Turner, some of the best teachers in the country were forced to leave the local school and go elsewhere where they could command better salaries. No effort has been made to employ high class teachers at the High School and keep them.
The school superintendent Mr. Koch made public notice recently that he did not expect to get good teachers from elsewhere to come to the Colored High School or to keep any others there except those who would not leave Baltimore.
The new scale is as follows:
White Male: Secondary Schools—
Vice-Principals, $200 more than heads of department. Heads of Department, minimum $2,000, maximum $2,200, annual increment $100. Teachers, minimum, $1,200, maximum $2,000, annual increment $100. Laboratory Assistants, minimum $750, maximum $900, annual increment $50. Clerks, minimum $650, maximum $1,000, annual increment $100. Librarian, minimum $650, maximum $800, annual increment $50. Shop Assistants, $750.
Out of the 56 colored candidates detailed for Machine Gun instruction at Camp Hancock, Ga., recently, 42 were graduated. Among them 2nd Lieutenant Samuel J. Ware and 2nd Lieutenant Charles J. Hall, both of Baltimore.
Lieutenant Ware, who was formerly a sergeant in Quartermasters' Department of the 25th Infantry, stationed at Honolulu, was in the city this week on furious telling his friends of his experiences. He says that 1000 colored men were sent away from camp last month for overseas duty, leaving six hundred men there still undergoing training. At a recent parade in celebration of the signing of the armistice, thousands of colored troops marched in Augusta, Ga., along with the others, on what was said by many people to be the first day of war. The people with a rifle saw the streets of the city with a rifle since the Civil War.
Lieutenant Ware paid a fine tribute to Major Jerome L. Johnston, who is in direct charge of the colored men. It was under Major Johnston's orders that 42 white officers in charge of the colored troops at Camp Hancock were relieved from duty and supplanted by the colored officers who graduated last month. Although the colored officers were somewhat fearful at first about being stationed in the South, they were soon

OVER THEIR QUOTA
Unusual Enthusiasm Shown by the More Than Two Hundred Workers. S. S. Booker Receives Letters Congratulating Race Upon its Fine Showing.
As an index of what colored people would have done in the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign, if they had only been given their own representatives to direct the work, the War Work Campaign drive went over the top last week, meeting with a ground total to $47,443.08. Later reports may swear the sum to $50,000.
There was unusual enthusiasm among the 225 workers who gathered at the War Camp Community Club headquarters last Tuesday night to make final reports, and there was to be cheered upon with a ground total to the goal of $30,000 that had been set for the drive had been passed by more than $17,000.
Speeches by Dr. W. H. Weaver Rev. Albert Mitchell, Mr. Geo. Owens, Rev. P. C. Neal and Mrs. Ego Truxon were heartily applauded. Mitchell the energetic pastor of Ames M. E. Church, had the honor of heading the District that raised the largest amount, $9,758.84. The Central District headed by, Dr. Weaver was a close second, with $9,255.86. Rev. P. Neal, pastor of Eastern Church, third with $7,442.45. Eastern District.
Director Warheim, white, of the whole Campaign congratulated Mr. S. S. Booker, chairman of the Colored body of workers in the city, A. G.

Killot by Auto—Fathéc in France
Mother, Grand-mother Doul.
Little Leroy Downs, age four, who was killed almost instantly Tuesday by an autotruck while attempting to cross the st rct in front of his home 513 Exeter street, has a father in France as member of Battery C, 3515 F. A, both mother and grand mother died eight months ago. American Express trucks from Hilleen Station use Hilleen street as a thor face, and it is that one of them run over the boy and kept on without stopping to see, whether he was hurt or not. No one saw the accident and his body was found in the gutter near his home apparently lifeless. Several American Express drivers were taken into custody and held at the inquest at Mercy Hospital on Wednesday.
UNUSUAL FOR WHITE TO MEG
TO HUG COLORED
The realization that it is quite unusual for a white man to hug a colored man, saved an unknown colored man $10, for when he went to reach his hand in his inside vest pocket he found that the hugger was in the act of extracting ten hard-carned simoleans, with which he was going to be working.
When taken before Judge Stanton in the Criminal Court, Reuben Herman, who admitted he did the hugging, but entered a plea of being under the influence of drugs, was sentenced to two and a half years in the penitentiary. Testimony brought out the fact that the defendent had a prison record and only gave up the money after the appearance of the police.

Tales of Wonderful Daring Dis played by Illinois Troops Under Colored Colonel
RALPH W. TLYER
(Representative Com. Public Information.)
Somewhere in France—A successful raid, planned by one of the majors of the old 8th Illinois regiment, whose home is at Metropolis, Ill., was made in the Voucharn sector, and with great daring: The motor battery of the regiment first took part in laying down a barrage fire. The barrage fire began at 4 o'clock in the morning—Just as the first rays of the sun shown sluggishly, and but dimly, behind the horizon. At the hour named, every gunner was at his gun. The major flashed an electric signal, and within a minute or two thereafter every gun fired simultaneously, as if connected with and controlled by an electric battery, to fifteen minutes the colored gunners kept up their barrage fire, and then a French company was sent out behind the barrage to make the raid. So surprising was the raid, and so quickly made, that but three of the colored soldiers were wounded, and they but slightly, and but eight of the French, with whom they were fighting, while the German's casualty toll was eleven killed, three wounded, while the remainder were captured.
Stories of the fight in the Argonne Forest, and the splendid endurance and valiant fighting of the colored soldiers continue, to come in. It is reported that a company of the old Ninth Ohio Battalion, under command of its colored captain from Dayton, Ohio, laid in an open field all night, awaiting orders to go into action while all the time the Germans were dumping 210 shells and $8 machine gun fire into them. But even in the face of such a murderous fire, the ordered line stood as if to the huge shells and murderous machine gun fire was being held by the cargo of toy blowers, among their casualty was Anderson Lee and William Chemuta, of Dayton, who were killed. The firmness of the line these khaki-garbled black soldiers maintained in - the face a withering fire—a veritable hell, constitutes one more reason why the folls—the race, back home should be proud of these, their colored soldiers over here, whose unyielding spirit and bravery is making history for the race.
I have learned that Hill 304, which the French so valently held, and which suffered such a fierce bombardment from the Germans that there is not a single foot of it but what is plowed up by shells, and whose sides, even today, are literally covered with the corpses of French soldiers who still lie where they fell, was later as valiant as those from the United States, who fought with all the heroism and endurance the best traditions of the army has chronicled. The colored soldiers, under their own captain from Dayton, Ohio, who so splendidly maintained their line in the Argonne Forests, and those who held that bloody and forever historical Hill 304, had the odds against them, but like Tennyson's immortalized "Six Hundred," they fought bravely and well." firmed in the belief "it was not their's to reason why, it was their's "to do and die," and like the patriots they were, they did DO, and this war's history, will so record.

Walter Payne Stanley,of Baltimore Writes of His Experiences in Fever Stricken Country
German East Africa, Aug. 28—(Bmilh.)—Walter Payne Stanley, whose home is at 2114 David Hill avenue, enlisted a year ago for service wiith the Y. M. C. A. in Africa. The following letter addressed to Daniel H. Murphy, details his experiences in the far away jungle land.
I saw the never-to-be-forgotten shores of Africa on the 11th of April 1918. I shall, never fail to rename the island as I attested in course over at beholding the wonderful Table Mountain and the Lion Mountain, appearing like grim determined, but magnificent sentiments of Cape Town, which lay at its feet. So familiar did the shores and city appear that it momentarily forced me

But my ecstasy stopped here for I was not permitted to land and room over the land watch has from time immemorial hold such ever increasing fascination for all mankind. I did, though, hold conversation with one of the "half costs" or Cape boys (all cobb-hued folk in Africa are called boys, despite their age) and learned of the presence of indignant unrest. I got no pictures. On my way back, I shall try to procure some. From Cape Town, Durban, the Atlantic City of Africa was reached in seven days.

CAROLINA TOWN
HAS WILD SABBATH
Mob Gets the Wrong Negro
As Usual. Colored Men
Secure Arms With Which
to Defend Themselves and
Their Families. Number of
Whites Slain.
Winston-Salem, N. C., Nov. 18.—Winston-Salem, a town of 22,000 souls, nearly half of whom are colored, a struggling southern hamlet a little larger than Annapolis, Maryland, saw the wildest Sunday night of its career this week. Monday 500 troops from surroundings of the scene in addition to home guards from several cities and the situation was well in hand but not before a white fireman and an innocent girl bystander, white, were killed and a score of the mob wounded some of them severely. Home guards also suffered casualties. The trouble started about 3.30 Saturdays after a man about to be held in the unknown colored man who had held up J. E. Childress, white, wounded him severely and assaulted his 73 year old wife, was lodged in the city jail. A mob formed about five o'clock of about one thousand persons and overpowering the jail guards took out and shot a colored man who had held in the city jail. Childress protested that the leader had brought her the wrong man and the wounded Negro was taken back to jail while the mob augmented by several hundreds returned to the City Hall.
MAYOR NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK
The mayor of the town addressed them and implored them to disperse. But his speech was interrupted. The fire company and the home guards came on and water turned on the crowd. Indiscriminate shooting followed and several persons were wounded and two of them are said to have died later.
Under the influence of certain unknown leaders, apparently, the most procured pistols, guns, stores of P. M. Roberts and the Hoge Brothers, ransacking the store and completely wrecking the stock. Shortly afterwards several shots were fired into the fire, seriously wounding two firemen, cut names of whom could not be learned. A few minutes later a fireman from fire front of the main square, was shot by a stray bullet and rushed to a hospital.
CHURCH SERVICES BROKEN UP
Church services were broken up by exultation during the early part of the evening, and women and children gained from excitement. The police stood immovable in the drenching rain, while the home guard and police attempted to disperse it. Several volleys were fired on both sides, it is said, although it has not been learned whether any of the shots took effect.
NEGROES INVAILATE
When the Negro quarters of the city demonstrations began immediately, Hardware stores and pawnbooks were broken open; and the Negroes procured arms and ammunition, completely ransacking the stock, and shooting wildly in the streets, after the fire at the city, firing at random, and leaving disorder in their wake.
Toward night the home guard and police were called out to quell the insurrection, and a pitched battle was fought.
Policeman Adams is missing and is believed to have been killed.
At one o'clock Monday morning, troops arrived and began to restore order. (It is impossible to estimate the number of wounded.)
GEORGIAN IN
DELWARE HUMILIATED
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 19.—When a member of the Fleet Corporation, who hails from Georgia announced thru the daily papers that no colored or foreign tenants were wanted in the new houses built for mowers on government work here, the City Council, compose of Republicans and Democrats, passed the resolution of Councilman Hopkins, colored, that such government managers were not wanted in Wilmington.
The resolution asked for the removal of prejudiced government managers, and ordered that all future advertisements should read "regardless of color."

WEDDING RECEPTION.
On last Thursday, at their residence 511 Oxford street, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jarvis held their wedding reception. The rooms were beautifully decorated with palms and cut flowers. The bride was attired in blue broadcloth and carried a boquet of chrysanthemums and roses. The bridesmaid was Miss Ethel Dorsey. She wore a dress of blue serge and carried a boquet of sweet peas. At 12 o'clock the guests were ushered into the dining room where an elegant luncheon was served. The bride received many handsome presents. Mr. Jacob Nicholson was toastmaster of the evening.
MISTAKEN ABOUT GOLDFELD.
Contrary to the report in the Afro-American of two weeks ago, the Goldfield Hotel, at Lexington and Colvin streets, of which Messrs. Anderson and Washington are the proprietors, has a hotel license and is not affected by the new police regulations, for bidding women patrons to enter saloons. In addition to the Ladies' Dining Room and Grill Room the cabaret at the Goldfield is operating as usual from 2 in the afternoon until one o'clock at night and five entertainers, including Mamie Sharp, Rosie Howard, Lillian Hotmes, John Webster and Prof. Carroll.

DAVIS GIVEN IIS LIBERTY
"Let your speaker speak." These words from the lips of George Butts of North Carolina, caused his death on board the Steamer Florida, which plies between Baltimore and South-of-North Carolina, caused his death referred to a pistol in the hands of Edward Davis, who was accused of murder in the Criminal Court before Judge Stanton last week.
Witnesses on both sides testified that it was an usual thing on board the boat to speak of a gun as "speaker." No evidence of hard feeling between the two men could be ascertained and it was further testified that just before the accident Davis was sitting on a barrel, laughing and singing, "You can read my letter but you can't read my mind." The jury brought in a verdict of accidental death after being out only a short time. Davis was set at liberty.
AWARDED DAMAGES
Mrs. Hattie A. Johnson, the wife of Dr. S. M. Johnson, pastor of Trinity A. M. E. Church, Linden avenue, was awarded $225 for an injury received by being thrown off a car of the United Railway Company through her attorney, Mr. John Howard Payne.

WHAT HAS BECOME
Many persons are asking what has become of the N. A. A. C. P., local branch of which Dr. Harry McCard is president.
With the Snowden Case before the Court of Appeals, the several suits against the W. B. and A. Electric Railway for jim-crowing colored inter-state passengers, and now the case of the school teachers, there is plenty of work for energetic organizations to undertake.
Since the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has as one of its objects to protest against discrimination on account of race in the courts and on public carriers, and since it is backed by the national body of thousands of members all over the country, many persons feel that it is the ideal organization to take up these cases and see them thru.
At one time the local branch of the
N. A. A. C. P. was one of the largest
and most flourishing in the country,
but it has not been active in many
months.

In a report to Dr. George C. Haynes of the Department of Labor on conditions among the blind in the city, Mr. Robert W. Coleman says "that the blind question is a serious one, because the blind man is unable to meet the high cost of living, and cannotcompet with his seeing brother." The report notes that openings are made for white blind men and girls to inspect shells and fill shell noses, sewing on buttons in factories and packing cases in factories, but that on account of prejudice few of these positions are open to colored blind men. "The unfortunate part about the assistance of the blind is that the majority of seeing people do not come into contact sufficiently with the blind to appreciate their needs, and their wants, and they only see them in the passing scene as a mark of charity." The report request Dr. Haynes, director of Negro Economics, to investigate the conditions among the blind in this city.
OFFERS LEAD INSTEAD OF GOLD
Thieves broke the glass in the front door of the jewelry store of Mr. E. J. Crane, the well known jeweler, 1533 Penna. Ave. about 3.30 a. m. Tuesday morning. A well directed shot scared them away before they were able to get anything. Mr. Crane extends a cordial invitation to them to visit his store again, hoping they will carry away some lead instead of jewelry.
"NIGGER BROWN—
Upon the solicitation of one of the city's prominent women the brand of dress goods advertised for sale at Goldenberg's Department store as having a "Nigger" Brown color has been withdrawn and will probably appear under a new sales name. Last year the same goods was advertised widely in Bernheimer's, but under the protest of several persons the name was changed to "African" brown.
DIVORCE GRANTED
When the final decree was signed absolutely divorcing Mrs. Narcissa R. Massey, who formerly resided at 1304 Drudg Hill avenue, from Arthur A. Massey, of New York City, the curtain fell on one of the most dramatic cases ever tried in the Circuit Court, Part 2, of this city. Mrs. Massey's story was one of both happiness and sadness. She told of their happy marriage in New York City and of their cloudless honeymoon, then of the great change which came over her husband when her gray hair lost its attractiveness, and of how he fell in love with the golden locks of another, and of his leaving Baltimore, in search of the gay lights of the "great white way." Mrs. Massey now holds one of the highest positions held by any member of the race at the Bureau of Engraving, Washington. She was represented in the case by Lawyer Roy S. Bond.

WAR WORK CAMPAIGN "OVER"
The response of the city in putting the War Work Campaign "over," is gratifying to all concerned. There were no happier people in the city than the chairman and the workers, when the result of the campaign was announced and it became known that the colored people of the city had over-subscribed the quota set for them by the committee.

The results of the campaign are due to large heart and fine feeling of Baltimore's citizens who always respond to the right stimulus. The organization of the committee under Chairman Booker by means of which every home in Baltimore was set apart for some one worker to visit speaks volumes for the efficiency of the campaign management.
As a matter of fact, all of the homes in the city were not visited, here and there some worker fell by the wayside, but the majority did more than was expected. Letters from Judge Soper and Chairman Duncan of the City Campaign Committee indicate this.
It is worth while to note the vindication of colored leadership at home as well as in the army abroad. Had the wishes of the colored population been consulted and colored men been given a representation on the last Liberty Loan Committee, a quarter of a million dollars would have been the response
WINSTON-SALEM RIOTING
the riotious occurrences in Winston-Salem last Sunday night, a Raleigh white daid was no occasion for the highhanded effeminacy of the criminal out of the hands of authorities. The Negro accused of the hand locked up, and adequate punishment main.
Is it sensible and practicable effort should no criminality; but lynching will not abate to increase it, leaving the Negro race so embarrassing the efforts of the whiteful relations obtaining between the race never conquered any moral principle. Indicates the triumph of moral righteousness. The people who seize the sword or the same weapons. Those who take up the will live to feel the sting of the flames a pen cord.
Good to find that President Wilson's proclact of bringing this truth to the minds of people of the south. But the better thing than are not the lynchers. For them more are needed. We have got to have a F. J. Law. Nothing else will reach them.
Anent the riotious occurrences in Winston-Salem, North Carolina last Sunday night, a Raleigh daily remarks that there was no occasion for the highhanded efforts to take the punishment of the criminal out of the hands of the legally constituted authorities. The Negro accused of the crime was arrested and locked up, and adequate punishment was absolutely certain.
It adds
"Every sensible and practicable effort should be made to abate Negro criminality; but lynching will not abate it, rather will tend to increase it, leaving the Negro race sullen and resentful and embarrassing the efforts of the whites who want to see peaceful relations obtaining between the races."
Force never conquered any moral principle. The present war indicates the triumph of moral righteousness over brute force. The people who seize the sword or the rifle will die by the same weapons. Those who take up the rope and the bonfire will live to feel the sting of the flames and the jerk of the hempen cord.
It is good to find that President Wilson's proclamation has had the effect of bringing this truth to the minds of the better thinking people of the south. But the better thinking people of the south are not the lynchers. For them more than proclamations are needed. We have got to have a Federal Anti-Lynching law. Nothing else will reach them.
REAL DEMAGOGUES
rejection of the School Board in fixing the Colored High and Training Schools that prevailing for white high and traintink southern blood of these demagogs could explain the belief that they could get away with it.
Rejudice against higher schools for course is notorious so that it was like a ray when Governor Harrington sanctioned the education for colored people in large before because it meant the salvation of well as the colored people.
A face of the Governor's stand for better land in the face of Commissioner of Education for aid of Negro schools thrust out the step of the local Board comes with very and generation in which we now live.
Only are colored people paying taxes on dollars worth of property in this city that bring rent they keep up the taxes for the millions of dollars. Colored people are the educational facilities as whites as citizens. This is one of the things the European bought for—the rights, the equal rights of
using the salaries of high school teachers to keep the best teachers and so keeps them in the school on a low grade.
And people are put between the devil and they are mocked for not showing as much talk, and are denied the means for attain
The action of the School Board in fixing the salaries of teachers in the Colored High and Training Schools at a lower scale than that prevailing for white high and training schools shows the pink southern blood of these demagogues. Nothing else could explain the belief that they could do such a thing and get away with it.
The prejudice against higher schools for colored people in the state is notorious so that it was like a ray of sunshine last summer when Governor Harrington sanctioned secondary and college education for colored people in larger measure than ever before because it meant the salvation of the white people as well as the colored people.
In the face of the Governor's stand for better educational facilities and in the face of Commissioner of Education Claxton's appeal for aid of Negro schools thruout the country, this backward step of the local Board comes with very poor sense of the age and generation in which we now live.
Not only are colored people paying taxes on many millions of dollars worth of property in this city that they own, but in paying rent they keep up the taxes for the owners of many more millions of dollars. Colored people are entitled to the same educational facilities as whites as citizens in their own right. This is one of the things the European War has just been fought for—the rights, the equal rights of oppressed peoples.
Keeping the salaries of high school teachers low makes it impossible to keep the best teachers and so keeps the standard of instruction in the school on a low grade.
Colored people are put between the devil and the deep sea. They are mocked for not showing as much intelligence as other folk, and are denied the means for attaining that intelligence.
WILL SOMEONE SIGN HIS NAME?
famous communications reach this office, explaining of severe conditions prevailing in Carolina, in Camp Sevier. Perhaps it be treated more like slaves than soldiers, to get a pass to leave the camp, but the proper investigation at the War will have to sign his name to a complaint
Anonymous communications reach this office from time to time complaining of severe conditions prevailing at Greenville, South Carolina, in Camp Sevier. Perhaps it is true that the men are treated more like slaves than soldiers, and that it is impossible to get a pass to leave the camp, but in order to institute the proper investigation at the War Department someone will have to sign his name to a complaint.
INTRODUCING THE "JAZZ" IN FRANCE. France has learned a good bit by its short acquaintance with the Colored Soldiers of America. Unlike the Black Troops from Africa, the colored men from the United States not only knew how to fight, but knew how to withstand the heavy bombardment of the Field pieces and the gas attacks of the Trench Mortar. They charged with all the daring of the Africans and withstood the German returns with the superb courage and firmness of European troops.
superior courage. These qualities betrayed to the Frenchmen an entirely different type of black men from the kind that he has been accustomed to meeting, but there is one other quality too that made him conscious of the difference in the black American; namely, his music.
From all press dispatches, the French fairly go wild over American "Jazz" tunes. They call them "chic" and when one of these rolling one steps, they keep time with the music and wociferously, applaud for more.
In one of the large American base cities, where military concerts are given three times a week, a plaza nearly a quarter of a mile long is always crowded with the inhabitants, as well as the American soldiers. The concert is at a convenient hour, seven o'clock, for the soldiers because they have to be in camp at nine. But it comes at the same time with the dinner hour of the French and, in consequence, thousands of them go without supper one or two nights a week in order to hear the "musique Americaine."
One of the popular of these bands is composed of colored stevedores, who scraped up their instruments wherever they could and are without large technical instructions.
Nearly fifty men and women were sentenced last week to terms in the city Jail varying from one day to eight months. Fines from one to fifty dollars were likewise imposed, all for unlawfully furnishing liquor to soldiers. Uncle Sam has decided that he wants only sober soldiers. Any other kind are not amenable to discipline. Eight months is a long time to spend in regret over giving one glass of beer to the wrong parties.
WRITES OF EXPERIENCES IN GERMAN EAST AFRICA
Continued from Page 1
have had neither; here nearly four months.
This is conquered territory, formerly German East Africa, hence under martial law. I am about two miles from the city proper. Few roads; only native foot-paths. Automobiles—even Frd's—incessantly get stuck in the sand. Stubborn donkeys, with Indian and native drivers applying the lash vigorously, refuse to budge. Rick saw boys ask one "quenda" (walk) when the sand is reached. Now for a slight retrogression.
HUNS TRIED HOBSON'S STUNT
You remember Hobson's stunt during the Spanish-American war? Germany tried the same one at the entrance of this harbor and almost succeeded. The mouth is only 100 feet wide, and if the ship had been swung across the mouth, would have been effectively closed. It lies on the side instead. Numerous shell holes mark the accuracy with which our friends the British chelled the city, British, Greek, Indians, natives from all parts of Africa, form the population, making interesting scenes with their different forms of dress.
NATIVES WEAR DECOLLETTE
Natives wear from loin cloth to civilized clothing, although they refuse to wear the shirt inside the trousers—it must hang out. Women simply drape a cloth about them very gracefully and honestly. Dan, the drapery resembles, in its exposition of one's person, our civilized decollette gown. Babies are wrapped, or rather, entangled into the drapery and moved around when nursing time comes. Caves Time. Mothers carry $4\frac{1}{2}$ gallon tins of water on their heads and make one tremble for fear of the baby being hurt either with the tin or drowned with the water. Neither happen. Girls from three years up are taught the balancing trick.
MONKEY COMRADE SALUTES
My hut is made of dried mud and coconut palm limbs with the leaves for the roof. I have some peculiar friends now. A monkey named Alice, who can salute, and lizards, which supervises my work. Giant flies and bugs of all kinds prevent me from becoming lonely while great choruses of mosquitos sing me to sleep. Can you beat it?
I am in charge of my work. I am in charge of the Carrier Corps. No roads make the burden of supplying the armies, the war is not over out here, fall upon the natives. It, of course, takes thousands of them. I run three canteens with native helpers. I know enough of the language now (Swahili, an offshoot of the Bantu and Arab languages) to "carry on" alone. I give movies, use the graphophone, and in addition, teach English in three camps. I have a small organ which I also use in teaching music. I am the goddess of whom you have heard and heard so much. They are a wonderful people.
Pictures are very expensive and transportation so uncertain that the few which I have will be brought with me. There are no photographers here friends take the pictures. I am chancing the picture of this "belle". The natives here, own most of their homes. How's that? Apartments? Yes. You should see them. You will soon. An interesting sight is to see natives harvesting coconuts. They place a rope (loop) around the feet and draw themselves up like a frog hopping a stream. it is done very quickly too. WANTS BOOKS AND PAPERS. I make my motor bike, and am expecting a push bike, as they call them, soon. My work is really in three camps grouped under one name hence, some distance apart. Look for my picture in uniform soon. Oh, yes, one of my movie sheds' holds six thousand boys. Now where is the 5th Armory?
Dan, out here folks fight for papers.
Please send me any old magazines or papers which you do not want. If your church has any organization for sending parcels abroad, please get and send me some old clothes for these boys.
To the Editor of the Afro-American: Germany and her Allies have surrendered, it is now the duty of all good citizens to look forward to reconstruction and in the days of adjustment of matters pertaining to the great world's war. We should have a representative of our race in that great body that formulates peace. We contributed our money and offered our boys as a sacrifice for universal Democracy.

IN MEMORIAM.
HOPKINS—In loving remembrance of my dear mother, Sarah E. Hopkins, who died November 24, 1916.
Two years ago today I knelt beside her bed
And held her loving tender hand
Until her spirit fled.
Two years ago today since you were called away
Mamma, if you only knew the trouble I've seen
DAVAGE—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear baby, Charles E. Davage, who departed this life one year ago, November 19, 1917.
The years have passed my heart still asleep.
As time flies on I miss him more.
He sleeps I leave him in peace to rest.
The parting was painful, but God knoweth best.
Days of sadness still come over me.
Years of sorrow shenly now.
I will never forget my dear baby.
The heaven claimed him one year ago.
Friends may think I would soon for-
get him
And they wounded heart be healed
But they little know the sorrow
That is within my heart concealed.
I mourn "or you dear baby
But not with an outward show
But the heart mourns sincerely
Mourns silently and low.
The loss of gold is great
The loss of love is more
But the loss of my dear baby
Is a loss that none can restore.
By Father and Mother.
The month of November once more
in here.
The day of November there more
is here
To us the saddest of the year
Because it took from us away
Our darling little brother one year ago
By grandmother, Martha Dorsey.
WASHINGTON—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear grandfather, Peter Washington, who departed this life two years ago, November 14, 1916. The loss of gold is great. The loss of love is more. But the loss of my dear grandpa is the greatest of them all. By his grand-daughter, Ethel Trottman.
WASHINGTON—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear father, Peter Washington, who departed this life two years ago, November 14, 1916. Two years has passed my heart still ago. As time flies fast I miss him more; God called him home it was His will. But in my heart I love him still. My heart has been crushed and wounded
My life has been lonely and sad
Which only the presence of his dear
face
Could ever make me glad.
By his daughter, Gertrude Lewis.
WASHINGTON—In loving but sad
remembrance of my dear father,
Peter Washington, who departed this
life November 14, two years ago.
Each hour comes to us anew
With bitter sense of loss
O God in mercy pity us
Help us to bear the cross.
We know that it was not death but
life.
When Jesus stopped to say
I am the way, the truth, the light
And led our father away.
By his daughter, Estella Dobson.
Mrs. William W. Cornish, of 1722

many friends for their kindness during
her husband's illness, also for the
beautiful floral designs at his death.

The following letter was written by Hyland Steward of the 351st F. A. to Rev. C. Ed. Browne, pastor of the People's Church.
Just a line to let you know that the 351st Field Artillery is making good. All will be from Baltimore are in the best of health and are making a fine record for themselves. The progress of the regiment is exceptional.
When the 351st F. A. was formed it seemed to all who thought of it that it would certainly prove a failure. But we boys, who were in it, had the greatest hopes of making it a success. Suffice it to say that our hopes have been more than realized. We have proven that the colored man is capable of doing anything that he is put to and earnestly and willingly tries to succeed. We are all making good. Reverend, I am more than pleased to state that the boys who knew you and have visited your church are extending their heartfelt gratitude for your religious sacrifice; and most of us deepest wish and state the deepest regret that they have not the opportunity of sitting in the pews of your church and hearing your sermons. Arthur Moore sends his regards to the church. Tell all the folks we are still striving and with the help of the Almighty we are accomplishing everything and making good.
The first overseas get-together meeting of Battery E. 351st Field Artillery was held in the Y. M. C. A. at one of the large camps on Saturday evening October 121th. Battery E was there in full force and among the invited guests were Major Gray, of 3rd Bn., Captain Clemian of Battery F, Captain Lovering of Battery E and his staff of officers.

We are having a pleasant time while crossing, aboard the ship. We have all sorts of amusements and the Y. M. C. A. sure does its part in trying to make the boys happy.

All the boys want to see is some land and then we are going to start for old Kaiser Bill and his tribe. And when we have helped to get him and won and helped to make "Democracy" we are coming home, if God said it to us we see the end. It not, it will be alright.

NEWSIES WORK FOR PRIZE MONEY
Coupons and Ball-bearing Roller Skates Look Good to Afro Venders. Public Helping to Make Gifts to Newsboys and Girls.
In addition to the usual Christmas treat for the boys and girls and agents who sell the Afro-American, it has planned to begin a contest whereby boys and girls can accumulate a tidy sum between now and the holidays.
When the scheme was unfolded to thirty-five of the nearly two hundred agents and carriers in the office on Thursday of last week, it was adopted enthusiastically and resolution passed to put it into instant effect.
SOUPOONS FOR EXTRA COPIES
As put in operation last week following the meeting, the Afro-American offers a half cent coupon to the carrier of each extra paper sold between now and Christmas. These coupons are to be kept until Christmas and then cashed in. By this time quite a tidy little sum will be saved up to make a present to some loved one or purchase other Christmas needs.
Coupons will be presented to all agents of the Afro-American in the city or outside in the state, who sell extra copies between now and Christmas.
SPECIAL INDUCEMENT TO YOUNGSPERS.
As a special inducement to the young boys and girls who sell the Afro, a pair of ball bearing roller skates will be given to the boy or girl between the ages of six and sixteen, who gets the largest number of coupons before the contest closes.
By putting the youngsters in a special class by themselves it is interested to make a red hot contest, and from the returns last week from now until the contest closes it will be nip and tuck between several active and energetic newsies.
In order to give the boys and girls an extra day to sell papers the Afro-American has been gotten out several hours earlier, and is now on sale at the office each Thursday at six o'clock in the afternoon. Children who wish to serve customers Thursday evenings and Friday morning before school can do so, and then have Saturday all day to look up subscribers.
Returns of the contest are posted on a large chart in the Afro-American office where all carriers can see where they stand. Later in the month this chart will be published entirely or in part in these columns.

Notice to Barbers—A Word to My Tonsorial Friends of Baltimore.
Having read the New York Barbers' Journal for the past five years I find it very helpful in giving much tonsorial information from all over the country and if more of our barbers would read it they would really know what is going on to their interest. There are two popular shavingemporms closing evenings at 8 o'clock, and both on Druid Hill avenue.

A BIT OF PATRIOTIC ADVERTISING BY A BALTIMORE BARBER.
Notice to Barbers—A Word to My Tonsorial Friends of Baltimore
Having read the New York Barbers' Journal for the past five years I find it very helpful in giving much torsional information from all over the country and if more of our barbers would read it they would really know what is going on to their interest. There are two popular shavingemporiums closing evenings at $ 0'clock, and both on Druid Hill avenue. They not only do justice to themselves but to their able assistants in giving them more daylight time—just what the government has asked all to do in these war times, thereby demonstrating your patriotic spirit and protecting your economically. By closing one hour earlier you save a great deal in fuel and light annually. I have since April 1st and my business has improved wonderfully. Everyone has shorter hours and are earning more money. Why not the barbers? Our profession is just as important as any other if we demonstrate it to the public, and this no one can deny. A hint to the vise is sufficient.

A Home Cure Given Big
One Who Had It
In the spring of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Inflammatory Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who were ill were treated. I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor after doctor, but such relief as I received was only temporary. Finally, I was admitted to hospital, and it has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly anemic and one who effected a cure in every case.
I want every sufferer from any form of rheumatic trouble to try this marvelous healing power. Don’t be nervous; simply use it and adhere. I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked-for means of caring your rheumatism, you must understand. I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. Isn’t that fair? When you experience when positive relief is thus offered you free. Don’t delay. Write today.

BUILDING AT CIRCLE
TREE IS DELAYED
Girlfriend, Md., Nov. 20—The work on the charge has been delayed on account of the epidemic. All the sick are improving. Rev. C. H. Spencer presided at St. Matthews Sunday. The trustees hold a rally and cleared over one hundred people. Mr. Clurence Harmon of Camp Meade visited his parents Sunday. The pastor, Rev. J. L. Nichols has gone to Philadelphia to attend a special meeting. Our people are crossing nibly to the war fund. Over forty dollars were collected on Sunday.

HAPPENINGS AT DENTON
Denton, Md., Nov. 26—Sunday was Harvest Home, the pastor, Rev. J. Hitchcock preached a fine sermon, Quite a large congregation was present. At 8 o'clock P. M. Rev. Columbus Handy of Thomaston filled the public and the most of the best harbor gormons we have listened to. The Afro was a welcome visitor in our town last week. Mr. D. D. Bailey and wife, Miss A. M. Bailey and Mrs. Adline Lewis motored to Federalburg. While there we were entertained by Rev. J. T. Johnson and wife. We were forking to Joseph Mothers' Memorial Sunday, we are anticipating a good spiritual time especially so since Peace has been declared. Every one seems to have taken on new life.
Editor of the Afro-American, Sir: The writer has no reason to believe that those responsible for the candidacy of Prof. J. H. Lockenman as a member of the Teachers' Retirement Fund Committee were actuated by other than the effect of the utter hopelessness of such a fight, the fact that no charge of injustice has been laid against the present members of the committee and the danger of raising race issues when no great principle is involved It also appears that this movement was to say the least, very unwise. There are at this time issues and problems in the local educational situation that call for the exercise of the best judging ability of action on the part of both colored teachers and colored citizens generally. It is to these larger and more vital matters we should dedicate our abilities and our energies, and no one should take any precipitate action that could only result in compromising the colored teaching body and making it more of higher educational aims and aspirations for which many of us have for so long been striking.
Very respectfully

SOUTHERN HOUSE- WIVES ARE MAD
Because Colored Women Refuse to Work for Small Wages. Husbands Make Sufficient to Keep Them at Home
New York, Nov. 20—"One of the reasons for the jobs now being made in many Southern cities to work by ordinance," said John Shillady, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., "is to be found in the ever present domestic robber. Domestic service all over the country has in recent years become an increasingly distasteful occupation to women of all races and nationalities. In northern communities many women have been forced to do their own work or change their methods of living. Apartment house and hotel living have in many cases been substituted for the individual house in New York and other large cities. Southern women seem to be more resentful than Northern who are resentful because they have large numbers of women who look upon working for them as one of the unalloyed joys of existence. It seems to be particularly offensive to some that the good wages now being earned in many localities by colored women, permit their wives, perhaps for the first time to take care of their own households and children, instead of neglecting their own children in order to care for other people's children and compel their husbands to cook their own meals or endure cold ones. seems to be an offensive and uncompetitive employment and compensatives of soldiers are provided for by government allowance and not left absolutely helpless and therefore compelled to work at any terms imposed by employers. This is a time when the government requires cooperation of all able-bodied workers in essential industries. Women are going into occupations in which they have never engaged before, not alone in this country but in every country in the world. The United States Government seeks through its employment service and through the Division of Women in Industry, to set up standards that will safeguard the health and morals of women workers in new industries. Women are the shortage of labor and the way to pave workers for new occupations is not to endeavor to use force but to offer good wages, good working conditions and fair-treatment and devise modern methods of recruiting and finding labor.
PINLESS AND BUTTONLESS DIAPERS.
Are new, specially shaped ones folded so that the extra thickness comes where most needed and where it does not spread the limbs so that they become bowed. A special twiless tape is used to fasten the gurry of the knee. It is also used to tie the other, one at the waist and the other at the knee, the latter passing thru loops sown to the stockings. Model diapers can be purchased in three sizes, or the makers of the twiless tape will give a free pattern for the diapers if requested.—Mother's Magazine.
E. B. N. C. STUDIES PRENCH
The members of the East Baltimore Neighborhood Club, consisting mostly of ladies, have been studying French as a pastime, since their mother are being instructed by their efficient teacher in the person of their president, Mr. Luther C. Mitchell. The members hope to be able to speak the language fluently by the time the other members return from "Over There."
The members serving in the army are: Messrs. George W. Mitchell, Calvin Stewart, Leroy Davage, Garrett Williams and Bradford James. The home members are Misses Ethel Travers, Mamie Granby, Emma Westcott, Hattie Phifer, Essie Smith, Louise Jackson, and Mr. Oscar Rosner. The members of the Luther C. Mitchell, president; Mr. Bernard Harris, vice president; Miss Evelyn Henderson, secretary; Miss Edna S. Grooms, treasurer.

PROPER FINGER HABITS
Teach your child to keep his fingers out of his mouth and nose at all times, advises the Federal Public Health Service. "The greatest agent in the spread of those diseases whose causative organism is present in the secretions of the mouth and nose is the human hand. Most of us carry our hands in our mouths and we times daily there to implant the germ of disease which other careless persons have spread about, there to collect a fresh supply of infection material to scatter for someone else.
"When surgeons discovered it was their own infected fingers which carried germs into wounds, they undertook to ...over a means whereby their hands could be rendered surgically clean. The whole realm of chemistry was ransacked for agents which would cleanse infected hands. The scrubbings and immersions to which medical hands were subjected are even yet a tender memory to the surgeons of that period. But gloveless efforts proved useless. Surgeons finally had to adopt rubber gloves. Try as you will, you can't by any known method, keep your hands free from germs, states the Public Health Service, hence the importance of teaching your child to keep their hands away from both mouth and nose.
PATRIOTIC LEAGUE
MAKES STATEMENT.
After failing to secure a meeting place at the Y. W. C. A., to conduct a First Aid course, the Patriotic League of which Mrs. George Frey is chairman, announces that it will meet the first and third Monday nights of each month at the War Camp Community Hall. The league also announces that it has acquired the services of Dr. S. B. Hughes as chief instructor in the First Aid Course of Nursing and thus Dr. Carr, one class has already been arranged for him. It is expected to organize other classes in the near future.
Plans are being laid for the home coming of the soldiers.

HARD STRUGGLE
I was sick for years. As a white man it was natural for me to go to white doctors. And I went to the best in Baltimore. One said one thing and another said something else about him. They did not good, and I grew worse all the time. A friend he had cured recommended me to dr. David N. E. Campbell, the Lung and Nerve Specialist, 1369 North Carey street. At first I hesitated, but I finally went to him. After examining me he laughed and said he was sorry for me. He told me things about my other physical condition, and I treated him and made practically a new man out of me. I am now a street car conductor. Since then, he has cured my friend, four-year-old son, Harry who had convulsions, and could scarcely stand or walk. The child now has no more spasms. The doctors are delighted and think Dr. Campbell is one out of hundreds. He has done me wonders, and I am not afraid to tell it.
