Murphy Tells of the Fine Work of Two People in Building up a Million Dollar Business—New Building one of the Finest in the City. It is not always easy to make other people see things just as you see them but that is just what I am trying to do, with the hope that I may be successful in the attempt. Having received a very cordial invitation to attend the dedication ceremonies in connection with the opening of Poro College, from Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, St. Louis, Mo., I hesitated about accepting I for a while, but when I found that Rev. Dr. Brooks, the pastor pastor of Bethel A. M. N. Church, had also received a like invitation, I decided I would accompany him and see what all about. Arriving in St. Louis, we were met at Union Station by the "Faro" auto-tee of a crushing force. Trying to force in the building. Dressing having been shaded for an open address, he was quickly taken in charge and hurried at once to the platform, and without the formality of changing his traveling more formal one, he got on with his address, never, not being in his address decimated nothing from the salient address he delivered. Poro College: What of it? What is it? Poro College is only another name for a purely business proposal, and this business proposal to do with preparations make hair grow, and incidentally, make it straight. It is an institution where girls and women go to learn the business, and the name "College." But Poro college is more, it is the largest appointed business institution owned by colored people in the United States. Moreover, it is not a institution on paper, but a real reality of brick, cement, and other "ingredients" as the college book would say, that no one up a full grown business in every particular. Just where to begin to describe the building is almost a puzzle to the writer, for there is so much to see and to say that we hardly know just where to begin. The building takes up half a block each on Pendleton and 127 feet on one and 147 feet on the other. It is a three-season building with roof garden courtyards on its summit. On the first floor is the lobby, and it would do credit to any hotel in the United States, with a rest room overlooking it. Back of this is the counting room with some twenty or more typwriters, four dictographs, and a large size throughs' adding machines. Over this, on the mezzanine floor are booths, where you will meet hair dressers, hair stylists and a dentist. Booths are all fitted up with electric lights, hot and cold water, and all other conveniences. Matter from the counting room is sent to the various departments by means of a pneumatic system such as is seen in large department stores. A large auditorium is reached from the main entrance, which seats some five or six hundred people on the lower tier. The lattice on the interior reached by an iron statue on the inside. There are six mannequins or extras in a museum and it can be emptied in less than three minutes. A fine store is part of the equipment. Besides the main office, Mr. and Mrs. Malone each have a, private office with all modern equipments. A large fire proof vault will hold the books and other paraphernalia of the office. In the basement is the main facuring department, also the storage department, the heating plant as well as the refrigeration plant. The drinking water plant is filtered and cooled in the water plant and the air which is carried throughout the building is carried in a new system. Offices, reception rooms, dormitories, dining room, kitchen, lavatories, bath rooms, and, all other apparitions, of a first class office building with hotel accommodations combined is found here. In fact nothing is wanted to make this building first class in every particular. This great business has been built up by Mrs. Malone, Mr. Malone having only come into it during the past few years. To her, it is due the fact, a business, which runs up into the hundreds of thousands each year. Ten thousand dollars worth of parcel post stamps in one year surely means some business, and this did not include stamps for correspondence. There are 150 employees in the build- WOUNDED IN ACTION Richard Freeman, 525 Lambert St. a member of the old 1st Separate Company of this city now the 372 Infantry, was wounded in the later part of September in the Chateau-Thierry drive. Private Freeman is 24 years old and enlisted with the 1st Separate Company last August one year ago. He was trained at Anniston, Alabama and left for overseas duty last February. He is reported wounded in the left-foot. DIVINE RIGHT OF RACES MUST GO Dean Kelly Miller Says That Must Go Along With the "Divine Right" of Kings." Sage Foundation Building today, the National League held its Annual Meeting, which consisted in an afternoon business session, and an evening public meeting, at which Arthur Glisson and Kelly Miller were the principal speakers, with L. Hellingworth Wood, president of the League, presiding. Dean Kelly Miller of the College of Arts and Sciences, or Howard University, in part as follows: "Along with the divine right of kings must go, the divine right of races, the divine right of culture, of wealth, must be removed from the government of this world. The only divine right that is to remain is the divine right for every individual to make most of himself. This war has been waged for the brotherhood of man—for the democratizing of the world. If the larger powers of the world will consent to the Big Brothers of the world, our reconstruction will be what it should be. When Germany violated the moral law in exercising her rights over the weaker nations, and justified that right, she had to be destroyed or civilization would be destroyed. If the world is to be made safe for democracy, then the United States must be made safe for democracy; Mississippi must be made safe for democracy. Pres. W.P.W. son says, and justly says, 'you shall not be permitted to make of international law a scrap of paper.' He is absolutely right, but then that imposes upon him as chief magistrate of 100,000,000 Americans that the Constitution which he has sworn to support shall not be made a scrap of paper." Lloyd George, the greatest statesman in the continent of Europe, has said that in the future of the government of the colonies must be for the welfare of the colonists themselves. Belgians did not consider the human element in gathering rubber from the colonists. We are going to have, hereafter, the colonists of Africa coming under the control of the British Navy to think. We have a human interest in the colonies that we have a human in the colonies that no other nation in the world has. We have 12,000,000 people who were delivered from the continent of Africa, and we have a chain of human relationship with that continent. England had not the idea of democracy, but is getting it now. The United States must furnish an example to the of the proper government of these retarded peoples in the colonies. In the United States we have ten million Americans who have a human interest and whom the United States can use as instruments in helping to establish a human regime in the colonies." GREEN'S PREJUDICED AP PEAL IN SNOWDEN CASE GREEN'S PREJUDICED AP PEAL IN SNOWDEN CASE Annapolis, MD, December 11—Annapolis is still agog over the hearing of the Snowden case before the Court of Appeals last Thursday. The decision of the judges either granting or refusing a new trial is expected almost any day, and meantime a discussion of the merits and demurits of the recent trial goes on. Nearly everywhere extreme dissatisfaction was expressed at the argument of States Attorney Green, who said in effect before the Court of Appeals, that Snowden would have been hanged long ago, were it not for certain interests in Annapolis and Earlmore who kept the case alive and raised a good bit of money making capital out of it. Green also referred to the Rev. Williams of Annapolis as "the chief witness and pillar of the defense." Green said that the Rev. Williams incited other witnesses not to tell what they knew in the case, and told them not to refuse and not handle them for refusing to tell everything. Rev. Williams was said to have promised state witnesses a coat of tar and feathers if they told and was held to be the cause of the chief colored witnesses against Snowden being forced to leave Annapolis. Both Lawyer Brady and Lawyer Gus Grayson made quiet, forceful appeals for Snowden's new trial. The latter emphasized especially that Mary Perkins, the main witness against Snowden did not say that she knew anything about the case for five days after 41 happened. When the crime could be fastened on no one, and rewards of $590 were offered for information as to the murderer, then Mary Perkins came forward and that she had seen Snowden leaving the house on the day of the murder. It was her testimony chiefly that convicted Snowden Grayson contended that the face should be taken into account in accepting her testimony. Annapolis white newspaper, The Evening Capital, commenting on the fact that a number of colored people from outside the city might come to hear the trial said that visitors in large numbers "are not expected or wanted, the, of, course there is no reason why interested persons should not come." THE CHURCH OF ST. MARY'S Sharp Street Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church Sharp Street Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, corner Dolphin and Etting streets, of which Rev. Dr. M. J. Naylor is the pastor, is not only the wealthiest colored church in the city but it is also the oldest incorporated church in Baltimore. For the celebration of the 20th anniversary in their present church building, a handsome souvenir program has been written on with fine illustrations from the present and past life of the church. One of the pictures shows the old Sharp Street Church founded in 1802 on the corner of Sharp and Lombard streets. This building was remodeled in 1860 and in 1893 sold to white people for business purposes, while the congregation moved to its present home. Before 1802, the colored membership of Sharp Street worshipped in the gallery of the Lovely Lane Chapel, white, on Redwood street, and numbered one-third of the denomination and in addition to the records. According to the church records, thirteen of these members were WHY NOT "NIGGER" TOO Washington, D.C. Dec. 10, 1907 sent out today that the Bureau of Education has sent out a suggested form of pledge to school children requesting them to refrain from using such nicknames as "shenoy," "wop," "Dago," "Greaser," etc., because these names tended to promote cleavage between American born and American foreign born immigrants. Demographic response from many colored persons. - Several letters have been sent to the Bureau requesting that the nickname "miger" be included on the list. KILLED IN ACTION Theodore White of the old 1st Separate Company now the 372 Infantry has been reported killed in action on September 26 during the Chateau-Thierry drive. In a letter received from Corp. White by his mother on November 15 he said that he was well and in a state of happiness. Corporal White is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. White, of 604 Lanvale St. St. A. 15 years old and has been service 16 months having in the 1st Separate Company before they left for Amiston, Alabama last August one year ago. White's parents received the teiogram from the War Department last week. Samuel H. Hicks, 351st F. A. Battery C. Serving in France. African, in search of liberty, and between 1820 and 1835, 72 gained their freedom by escaping to Canada. The dark side of the records is shown by the fact that 51 members were sold out of the State into Virginia, Georgia and Alabama. The Washington Annual Conference between 1820 and 1835, 72 gained their Carroll is the only surviving member of the first annual conference of 1864. SHARP ST. MOTHER OF BETHEL. In the hall in the rear of old Bethlegh Church many of the early leaders of the race receive the training, especially under Daniel Coker, under whose deship, a number of women withdrew and founded Bethlegh A. M. E. Church. Coker became the first master of Bethlegh in 1811. Many persons have commented on the fact that Sharp Street is the parent of Bethlegh and since 1811 Bethlegh has become the mother of seventeen younger churches. PRESENT FASTON'S GOOD WORK A large part of the present prosperity of the church is due to the persevering efficiency of the pastor Dr. COLONEL HAYWARD PAAISES NEGRO TROOPS Writing to the governor of New York Col. Hayward commends the bravery of the old Fifteenth New York Infantry in the fierce fighting which marked the opening of the great offensive in the Argonne-Verdun Sector in the closing days, of last September. Every french device known to the Germans were used against the Negro troops. Gass, shrapnel, high explosives, machine guns and aerial munitions were used by the Americans. For five days and twelve nights the regiment was under constant fire often in scant rations or none, but in the face of it all they pushed ahead nine or ten miles. We finally on the fourth day took the height overlooking the marvelous plain and valley and I saw what I am sure has never been given to man to see before. I saw four divisions of our troops attack abreast (twelve regiments). The two artillery forces, ours and Boche, firing from behind, laid down terrible barrages on each Corp. Ed. White, Worton, Md., Co. F. 368th Inf. France. Killed in action. M. J. Naylor, who inaugurated the "new financial system," in the church, codified the accounts of the 4000 lot holders in the church cemetery and installed its business in the Druid Hill Ave. Office; introduced the "Queen's Rally" in Baltimore, by means of which over $100,000 have been raised by various organizations. He paid in round numbers, $27,000 on the debt of the church which was raised during the interest, $7,500 of which was raised for all bevolent purposes, $13,955; under whom also, the "Day Boys," "Camp Fire Girls" and "Methodist Brotherhood" were organized. During the week pastors from all the denominations of the city with their choirs and congregations took part in services at the church beginning has Sunday night. Friday night is Presbyterian and Episcopal night and Dr. Wm. H. Weaver is to preside. On Sunday Rev. John F. Cogher, pastor of the church, undersides and Blasphemy William P. McDowell of the Diocese will speak at the 11 and 3:30 services, respectively. other's infantry. It was like a double belt of flame, smoke, tossed up earth, men and debris for four kilometers thence. Suffice it to say we got cited, the regiment will receive the Croix de Guerre for its colors and each officer mentioned personally. McADOO NOT ADVISED New York, Dec. 6.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary John R. Shillady, makes public a telegram from Director General of Railroads McAdoo in reply to the Association's protest to him against Regional Director of Northwestern Railroads R. H. Ashton's recent order in which the Director instructed railroad management of his district not to extend the employment of Negro firemen, hostlers, switchmen and brakemen beyond, the practice heretofore existing and cautioned them against employing Negroes for this class of service not heretofore open to them not to take the places of white men. Mr McAdoo said: "The program of the 29th was received while I was on an inspection trip of the railroads. I was not aware of the order to which you refer, but I am looking into the matter and will advise you later." A. B. 10,000 NOW IN DETROIT SHOPS 10,000 NOW IN DETROIT SHOPS Dr. Haynes Tells American Academy of Results of War Upon Negro Labor Conditions. New York, December 10—Together with William H. Taft, Charles M. Schiwab, Felix Frankfurter, assistant Labor Administrator; William Wilson, Secretary of Labor, and others, Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics Department of Labor, was one of the speakers at the sessions of the Academy of Political Science, which met at Hotel Astor yesterday. Speaking of the effects of the war upon colored labor, Dr. Haynes said: upon coffered roof. The effect of the war upon Negroes has been to open up a wider range of occupations, in the North especially. For instance, in Detroit, in 1914, there were probably not a thousand Negroes in all the factories in that great automobile centre. The latest report from Detroit about two months ago stated that probably sixteen or seventeen thousand are now engaged in the industries of that city. COLORED MEN WANT MORT PAY "During the past two years, the speaker has visited many States both North and South and has taken special pains to talk with all classes of Negro workers in both industry and agriculture. This canvas of opinion has been among Negroes working on railroads, in mines, in factories; hotel porters, hackmen, farmers, plantation tenants, farm hands, tradesmen, business men, ministers, doctors lawyers and housewives. The main object of such a canvas has been to learn from these people, what constitutes the essential things which the great majority of them consider should have in common of this part in it. First, they desire a fair chance to secure work and to hold it on the same conditions and with the same pay as other workers. Secondly, there is a widespread desire for education of all kinds. UNITED AGAINST J. C. In the third place, there is a united desire for the removal of race discrimination in public courts and in public conveyances, and provision in city and country for the same facilities of community improvement for them as for other folks. "The fourth thing so generally desired by Negro workers can be, probably be best expressed in the words of an unlettered Negro tenant farmer in an southern state, who said to a prominent business man presiding over a meeting: "and, sir, we want to help say who governs us." As soon as this sentence was uttered the Negro party of the audience received it in sounding applause. This same sentiment is expressed in country and city where one is able to find out what they really think. In a word, they have a deep consciousness of government by the consent of the governed; they are asking that they may be taken into all public affairs of the commonwealth and of the nation where their interests are involved. 351st MAY BE ON WAY HOME Washington, Dec. 11.—The 351st Field Artillery may be actually embarked and already on its way home, according to an announcement by General March during the week. The total list of men on the water and expected to land some American port within the next two weeks, amounts to 854 officers and 17,353 men. Among the distinguished list for early arrival are the 349th, 350th and 351st Field Artillery. This last named regiment has a large number of local men and men from the District of Columbia. According to the law, the men raised in the National Army must be discharged four months after the declaration of peace. This applies to all men who enlisted voluntarily in the National Army or regular army. That is, that the whole 92nd Division was among the units listed by General Pershing for return to the United States before next fall. WOUNDED IN ACTION Word has been received by the wife of Private Harry Whittington that he has been wounded in action. The degree he wounds has not been determined. Private Whittington enlisted with the IJM Separate Company June 6, 1917 for a period of six years. When he retired, Private Whittington resided at 559 Orchard St. YOUNG BURGLARS CAUGHT William Parker age 10, William Robinson age 10, Leroy-Jenkins age 9 were committed to the Juvenile Court last Monday on the four following charges; breaking into and entering the store of Ida Brodsby, 1400 Drudl Hill 'Ave. and stealing cigarettes, meats, and money to the value of $10.25; entered the store of Jacob Marks, 551 Mosher St, nothing was taken; stealing drugs from Dr. Louis P. Hamburger to the value of $4.50; stealing instruments from Dr. Segman Pauste to the value of $1.50. PRICE 5 CENTS HOME BOYS TO GET THE GLAD HAND Local Committee Preparing to Have Big Time When the Boys Come Marching Home,—Governor Names Committee to Help Things Along. A committee of local citizens gathered at the War Camp Community Club, on Orchard street, recently, and set in motion extensive plans to welcome the returning soldiers from France. It is not definitely known when the boys will come marching home so that local folk are not allowing themselves to be caught unawares: without having begun their preparations. The Governor has appointed a committee of citizens to make arrangements for the welcoming of soldiers, but since he appointed no colored persons on the committee, colored people felt that it was up to them to form their own committee and go on with their arrangements. News received in the city this week that some of the regiments are actively embarked and are on their homes. In time for the Christmas celebration gave the preparations an added impetus, and there was a bit of talk about getting the city to loan one of the armories for the occasion, the employment of several bands and arrangements for a street parade and review stand. Even though Uncle. Sam does take the matter in hand and holds a big review in Washington like he did after the Civil War, in which all the returning troops will march down Pennsylvania avenue Washington, and on past the White House, the local committee plans to give homecoming soldiers, the time of their young lives when they reach Baltimore. Last week Governor Harrington announced the committees to arrange for the reception of white soldiers. Nesterday he held a reception for arrangements for the reception of colored troops. For Baltimore city he named Dr. Ernest Lyon, Dr. A. L. Gaines, L. H. Davenport, A. H. Plits, Dr. J. R. L diggs, Dr. Junius Gray, Dr. George F. Brugg, Jr. H. M. Gross, Mason A. Hawkins, Wm. C.

SHOOTS HUSBAND When Bettie Marshall 34 years old of 576 Walnut, was arranged before the magistrate at the Northwestern police station last Thursday, for assaulting and shooting her husband, Louis Marshall, every one expected a sensational case; but the complainant declined to prosecute hence the case was dismissed. STEALS 24 QUARTS.

The case was dismissed in both instances providing that the men would once more resume the responsibility of the bread winner. ARMSTRONG VICE PRESIDENT James F. Armstrong was elected second vice president of State Teachers' Association last week instead of James W. Bruner. ELMER HENDERSON ELECTED By the close score of 61 to 60 Mr. Elmer Henderson defeated Mr. Howard Gross for the presidency of the Baltimore Educational Association. Supporters of Mr. Gross put up a spirited contest and lacked only one vote of tying the balloting. Mrs. M. E. Rodman was elected vice president. Mr. John Thomas, Jr., secretary, and Mr. H. Grafton Brown, treasurer. LOOKING FOR HAYTIAN AND LIBERIAN FLAGS Flags of Hayti and Liberia, the two colored nations, represented among the twenty-four allies are at a premium, and local store keepers and merchants who desire them to hang in their windows as a welcome to the boys when they come home are finding it difficult to have their wants supplied. "Never heard of such a country," said one flag maker. "Hayti, where is that, and what did you say was the name of the other country. Liberia? Never heard of it in my life. I can make you the flags tho, but it will take some time to do it." Not a single large store in town has a supply of these flags, so that the colored citizen who desires to show his friendship for the two little colored nations has to order his Liberian and Haytiian flags several days in advance, or else go without them altogether. THREE GIRLS CAUGHT IN A CRAP GAME A very interesting crap game was interrupted last Sunday night when the police of the northwestern district raided the house at 571 Preston St. Twenty-five persons were caught in the raid among this number were four soldiers, Leo Jackson, Co.

A NEW RADICAL ORGANIZATION The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, a new and radical movement held its first meeting before several hundred persons at the Regent Theatre last Sunday. The object was to form a branch of the New York body in this city. Nearly a hundred persons joined during the meeting. The organization is novel in that it aims to comprehend all colored peoples, Americans, West Indians, Africans and Indians in its membership. In addition to forming a league for political and social improvement of the Negro's condition in this country, the aim is to establish in Africa a strong Negro Nation, which could command respect for all Negro, who resides in countries. Mr. Marcus Garvey, the organizer, who is a fluent speaker but not always logical emphasized the part the colored race is to play in the next war between the white peoples and the yellow peoples. "The Negroes of the world," he said, "hold the balance of power, and with whoever they cast their lot in the next war, that side wins." The audience applauded this and there was even more applause when he said that the white people had rallied two million Negroes from United States, West Indies and Africa to help save democracy. "If Negroes can face death to preserve the liberties of white peoples, then Negroes can face death to procure the liberties of black people." Besides the $25 cents initiation fees that many persons paid to join the new organization, a collection was taken to send three delegates to the Peace Conference at Versailles. SENDS $1 TO SNOWDEN FUND Mrs. Mamile J. Curtis, Centerville, Md. sent to the Afro-American office, one dollar as her contribution to the Snowden Fund. SHIP O'HOY AT ALBAUGH'S Before a large and appreciative audience, the Musical Art Club made its initial appearance in a musical boquet entitled "Ship O'Hoy" at Albaugh's Theatre last Friday night. The scenery was both unique and striking, specially in the garden party scenes at one of the beautiful cateau of France. The acting on the part of each member of the cast was quite commendable. The imitation of Sophia Tucker. Anna Held, George Coban and Eva Tanquay on the part of Miss Eva Coleman made the hit of the evening. Miss Coleman seems to possess natural histronic ability. The work: Mine. Burnerdene Mason. the contralto soloist was indeal artistic. The music lovers of Baltimore are indebted to the club for such a rare treat. The following patrons are to be congratulated for the success of the play "Ship O'Hoy" that was presented at Albaugh's Theatre Friday, December 6th. Mr. and Mrs. R. Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. S.

After laboring under a mortgage and notes including other obligations, amounting to $665.18, the limited membership of Mt. Calvary A. M. E. Church, Towson, with the assistance of their many friends, can now rejoice over the fact of not owing any one a dollar. November 14, 1916, Dr. D. G. Hill, then presiding elder over the Baltimore District, appointed Robert H. Gross, a local deacon of Trinity A. M. E. Church, Linden avenue and Biddle street, to preside over this appointment. Brother Gross, knowing of his ability and limited knowledge, very reluctantly assumed the responsibility imposed upon him by his superior officer, and now, we, the trustees and members of Mr. Calvary A. M. E. Church are proud indeed to say, that at the expiration of two years, with the leadership of God, and the spiritual and material help of Rev. Gross, we have been able to lift out entire indebtedness. We speak particularly of the mortgage, on which nothing had been paid for about eleven years. Extensive preparations will be made in the near future to renovate the church and also to lay the cornerstone. Due notice will be given. Rev. Joshua Fuller will preach on Sunday, December 15.. Services will open at 7:30 p. m., and close at 9. Trustees: Aaron Stewart. John Smart. J. Q. Johnson, Marshall Bell. James Bond, J. W. Smith, B. W. Davage, secretary. Rev. I. H. Gross, Pastor.

Friends may think we would soon forget him And our wounded hearts be healed But they little know the sorrow That is within our hearts concealed. We mourn for you dear father But not with an outward show For the heart that mourns sincerely Mourns silently and low.

As a historical institution, in two recent volumes, and in quarterly, have brought and merited much part about the things that he wrote that the reader can be absolutely certain the Negro's side will be told absolute omitted for fear of hurting some a trained historian and a colored manhood, Maryland," says Dr. Woodson, "intermixed when the State was only a colony. State in 1661 forbidding free white freed men and added this penalty: an woman shall intermarry with an master of such slave during that all the issues of such free boys will be slaves as their fathers were." He did not stop miscegenation as the would. Many large planters married Negroes in order to transform Negro slaves. To stop this practice also, the law of 1681, setting at liberty married by her master and placing a stress joining such persons in marriage of this law was merely to prevent white women to an economic point the miscegenation of the two races, says Dr. Woodson, became so by digitimate mulatto children, that law and 1717 reducing to servitude for sex or white man who cohabited with it, especially will be noted about the fact they were made necessary because of thrusting intermarriage upon the co-versa. In the habit and custom, not only in the country for whites to marry their own, some striking instances of this. Banneker was the son of a white brown slave. Benjamin Franklin in made no secret of his associations, says ago, the Cleveland American, and the following to say of Thomas Jeffery informed that a natural son of T. celebrated 'Black Sal', a person of no age of 1800, is now living in the center of President Tyler ran a choice in order that she might be made they must reach foreign soil." The black and a slave. ALRIGHT FOR PRESIDENTS OF MARRY COLORED WOMEN BUT MARRYED MEN TO MARRY THE DAUGHTERS. Of President Madison once said to a Bryterian minister in Virginia: "We implimented with the name of wivesresses of seraglios." Woodson adds this final chapter: "The Negroes who call themselves the men who attained the Presidency were the beginnings of race intermarriage in the result of it all is seen in the truth shows that one-fifth of all the available amount of white blood. In white folk, who hold up their hands, occasional instances of rape that come, we quote Dr. Woodson's reference, E, page 111, where a well authenticated Christian lady who kept male for the use of her genteel son, him, as she said, from indiscriminate The "Beginnings of Miscegenation of Whites and Blacks in this Country," is the title of the introductory article in the current issue of the Journal of Negro History, edited by Dr. Carter G. Woodson at Washington. As a historian, Dr. Woodson's contributions, in two recent volumes, and in the Journal that he edits quarterly, have brought and merited countrywide attention. The best part about the things that he writes from time to time is that the reader can be absolutely certain that the truth about the Negro's side will be told absolutely, and that nothing will be omitted for fear of hurting somebody's feelings. Only a trained historian and a colored man can do these two things "In Maryland," says Dr. Woodson, "intermingling of the races began when the State was only a colony. A law was passed in this State in 1661 forbidding free white women from marrying colored men and added this penalty: 'That whatsoever free-born woman shall intermarry with any slave ... shall serve the master of such slave during the life of her husband; and that all the issues of such free born women, so married, shall be slaves as their fathers were.'" This law did not stop miscegenation as the legislature thought it would. Many large planters married white women servants to Negroes in order to transform Negroes and their offspring into slaves. To stop this practice also, Dr. Woodson refers to the law of 1681, setting at liberty any white woman so married by her master and placing a fine upon the master or mistress joining such persons in marriage. The effect of this law was merely to prevent masters from prostituting white women to an economic purpose. It did not prevent the miscegenation of the two races. Masters and the colony, says Dr. Woodson, became so burdened with the care of illigitimate mulatto children, that laws were passed in 1715 and 1717 reducing to servitude for seven years any white woman or white man who cohabited with colored persons. One thing especially will be noted about these three laws mentioned: they were made necessary because the free white people were thrusting intermarriage upon the colored people and not vica versa. It was the habit and custom, not only in Maryland, but all over the country for whites to marry their own slaves. Dr. Woodson gives some striking instances of this. Benjamin Banneker was the son of a white woman who married her own slave. Benjamin Franklin in his books on his own life, made no secret of his associations with colored women. Years ago, the Cleveland American, a white newspaper, had the following to say of Thomas Jefferson. "We are creditably informed that a natural son of Thomas Jefferson by the celebrated 'Black Sal', a person of no little renown in the politics of 1800, is now living in the central county of Ohio." The daughter of President Tyler ran away with the "man of her choice in order that she might be married to him" but for this they must reach foreign soil." The man of her choice was black and a slave. IT WAS ALRIGHT FOR PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES TO MARRY COLORED WOMEN BUT ALL WRONG FOR COLORED MEN TO MARRY THE DAUGHTERS OF SUCH PRESIDENTS. A sister of President Madison once said to Reverend Geo. Bourne, Presbyterian minister in Virginia: "We southern ladies are complimented with the name of wives, but we are only the mistresses of seraglios." Dr. Woodson adds this final chapter: "There are now in Washington Negroes who call themselves the descendants of two Virginians who attained the Presidency of the United States." Such were the beginnings of race intermixture in this country and the result of it all is seen in the last Federal census, which shows that one-fifth of all the colored people have a noticeable amount of white blood. For such white folk, who hold up their hands in holy horror at the occasional instances of rape that come to light chiefly in the south, we quote Dr. Woodson's reference to Goodell's SLAVE CODE, page 111, where a well authenticated account occurs of a respectable Christian lady who kept "a handsome mulatto female for the use of her genteel son, as a method of deterring him, as she said, from indiscriminate and vulgar indulgences."

S. Smith, of Detroit, addressed to Dr. A. L. Games, this city. The letter reads Dear Brother I have received your letter of December 4th relative to the appointment of three representatives of the A. M. E. Church to attend the World's Peace Conference. I must confess to a degree of unpleasurable suprise at the seeming lack of sanity in the present day thinking of certain groups of American Negroes relative to the scope and purpose of the World Peace Conference soon to convene in France. National autonomy will be the basis of a represen to the conference and not racial or ecclesiastical interests of the American Negro will be freed separate and apart from that of the only politic. All the darker races except the Japanese, Abyssinians, Liberians, Haitians, Americans are within the sphere of European and will be represented at the Peace Conference powers that dominate them. The hourly duty for the darker races has not yet struck therefore do not see the wisdom or the energy of spending time, money and energy in an impossible task. Fraternally yours C. S. SMITH. A part of the southern Baptists, the Boiseue, and the Universal Negro Improvement Order way movements to send delegates to actually gotten people to contribute for the organizations are making the mistake Peace Conference is a convention where are several thousand or a million people want and a voice in the proceedings. The people who have fought against Germany, and Turkey and Bulgaria, will represent fundamental reference. These and these only, excluding battle the conditions of world adjustment, perfectly frank would to admit that England, France, Italy and the United "big four" nations, who will agree fundamental points, and then put theiring of the nations. One of the nations except the United States demands of certain rewards for sacrifices. France and Italy want territory, England and dominance of the seas, etc. That be too busy grabbing the things they get the conference. Each wants the supplies, none of them will venture to offending up our race question. The United will bring the question up for the simple ability to settle its own problems. Is only one way for American Negroes to and that is thru Washington. Woods sent us at the Conference, however poor has been in the past. tation to the conference and not racial or ecclesiastical groups. Never will not be groups. The interests of the American Negro will not be considered separate and apart from that of the American body politic. All the darker races except Japanese, Chinese, Abyssinians, Liberians, Haitians and Dominicians are within the sphere of European influence, and will be represented at the Peace Conference by the powers that dominate them. The hour of opportunity for the darker races has not yet struck. I therefore do not see the wisdom or the practicability of spending time, money and energy in undertaking an impossible task. Fraternally yours C. S. SMITH. Some part of the southern Baptists, the Boston Equal Rights League, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have under way movements to send delegates to Versailles and have actually gotten people to contribute for this purpose. These organizations are making the mistake of thinking that the Peace Conference is a convention where anybody who represents several thousand or a million people will be welcome to a seat and a voice in the proceedings. Twenty-four nations, those who have fought against Germany, and in addition Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria, will send representatives to the Peace Conference. These and these only, excluding even neutrals, will settle the conditions of world adjustment. To be perfectly frank would mean to admit that the smaller circle of England, France, Italy and the United States will constitute the "big four" nations, who will agree in private to certain fundamental points, and then put them thru the larger meeting of the nations. Each one of the nations except the United States has made public its demands of certain rewards for sacrifices made during the war. France and Italy want territory, England wants German trade and dominance of the seas, etc. These nations are going to be too busy grabbing the things they want to do much else at the conference. Each wants the support of the United States, none of them will venture to offend this country by bringing up our race question. The United States will not of itself bring the question up for the simple fact that it thinks itself able to settle its own problems. There is only one way for American Negroes to get to the Peace table and that is thru Washington. Woodrow Wilson will represent us at the Conference, however poor a representative he has been in the past. MOTON OFF TO FRANCE.. WHY?

Another hand if it is simply the desire of Department to give Dr. Moton a little piece of the war at the government's alright, but we suggest then that the free statement is unnecessarily alarming. A special dispatch to the Afro-American from Tuskegee states that Dr. Moton, head of Tuskegee Institute is on an urgent mission to France at the request of President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker. Dr. Moton is to visit every centre where colored troops are located, speak to them and urge them "in every way to observe the good name they have won on the battlefields and in the service of France that they might not furnish the slightest cause for unfavorable comment or adverse criticism before they return to America." "For ways that are dark, and for tricks that are vain" the Wilson administration is peculiar. The announcement leads the public to believe that colored soldiers are engaging in excesses, and need the admonition of men like Dr. Moton. If the administration thinks this, it must be becoming uneasy because the French people are getting along so well with colored troops. The experience of the war has been that the French girls are just as anxious to have colored troopers make love to them as white troopers. Even before the war, it was never an unusual sight to see a French girl sitting in a tram car with the arm of her black escort around her. That is the way they do things in France, and if the Administration is uneasy over this, sending Dr. Moton won't help much. On the other hand if it is simply the desire of the advisors of the War Department to give Dr. Moton a little pleasure jaunt to the battlefields of the war at the government's expense, it is perfectly alright, but we suggest then that the language of the Tuskegee statement is unnecessarily alarming.

From The Trenches When it's five-thirty in the evening and retreat and all is done, I sit and smoke my pipe and watch the setting of the sun, I see the smoke above my pipe form rings so round and blue I see a face in each blue ring and of course the face is you. When it's ten o'clock at night and taps are blown so very low, I lie awake athinking of the times not long age; And all my thoughts are of one girl, whom I know is true. Then I go to sleep and dream, and all my dreams are then of you. But, when the German stops his murdering and a raiding on the sea, And the submarines are sunken and the German soldiers flee, And the Kaiser dofs his helmet to the old Red. Waite and Blue. With the rest of this victorious bunch, then I will return to you. James Young Med. Dept. 368th Infantry. WANTS TO GET HOME. WANTS TO GET HOME Corporal John W. Roberts, Co.

TORPEDOED IN WAR SERVICE A Post Comp in France Eric de Castro, 17 years old, of the Danish West Indies, tells a very unique story of how he became a member of the French Foreign Legion. Three years ago he left on a passing ship and in no search of adventure and romance, but attracted by promises of an easy life and good pay. There was a war on at the time, but Eric knew nothing about it and cared less. For a year he sailed and steamlined unaccompanied a Danish flag entirely unaccompanied of European later he joined a British ship and was torpedoed. That was in 1916. The ship was the Mount Haven. Eric was captured by the German submarine, carried to Germany and put in a prison camp for three months where he was compelled to shovel coal for 14 hours a day. He escaped from Germany on a Norwegian steamer. This steamer was also torpedoed. Eric was injured in the leg by a piece of the torpedo and carried to a hospital at Bergen. After being cured the desire to go on the sea again seized him and he got aboard a small steamer bound for Rouen. "On landing at Rouen he did not know that he had to have papers to go ashore, so he was arrested and put into prison. After remaining in prison on a short while he heard about the war and on being asked whether he would like to enlist or remain in prison he chose the former, and joined the French Foreign Legion, Hebor Watts, Co. C. 417 Labor Battalion, Camp Meade. They also serve. Sergt. George Washington Anthony Co. G. Stey, Rgt. A. E. F. Writes to Rev.

That war is just what Gen. Sherman said it was. We are treated just like the white soldiers, there are no exceptions made. We have four meals a day and have everything that the market can afford. We are cared for like children and our officers are very good to us. We are punished if we do not bath every day, when in camp, and change our underwear; if we do not report for mess 4 times a day, providing that we are not sick; if we wear worn clothing such as shoes, pants, etc., and present an untidy appearance. Our men in the army are enjoying a wonderful opportunity. They are not only soldiers but engineers, clerks, etc. Sergt. Anthony further states that the folks back home should not write any sadness to the boys; let your letters be of such a nature that the soldier will smile and smile again. CHICKEN $1.00 LBB.

SERGEANT MAJOR SENDS FRENCH PAPER H. M. Gilllean, Sgt. Major, with the A. E. F. in France sends to the Afro-American the third edition of the "Le Matin" a morning daily published in Paris, France. This newspaper published entirely in French under date of Oct. 26 contains account of a offensive of the Indians a visit of Col. House to Paris; President Wilson's statement that Alsace-Lorraine should be returned; and the return to Paris of an American Mission to Algiers. What Sgt. Major wanted to show us first of all, we suppose, was a French newspaper from the front. Secondly, there is such an interest in the English language at the front at present that the "LeMatin" prints a lesson in English for the American soldier in France. Below is a facsimile.

Church, opened last Sunday very auspiciously, for the season 1918-19, with Miss Frances Edmonia Chambers, the youthful organist of F. Paul M. E. Church, and Miss M. H. Demby, of Boston, soprano, as solista. A very large and appreciative audience greeted the artists. Miss Chambers presented a well arranged program in an artistic manner. She seems to be richly endowed with much of the gift that is necessary for first-class organ playing. In the opening number "Fanfare" by Jacques Lemmens, she showed a keen appreciation of organ tone values and later in Borowski's Sonata, a rare knowledge of registration was displayed. The Kinder number, while of itself somewhat hackneyed in a form and development, was given a delightful reading. All in the organ playing, such as when the music lovers, assembled in Mother Bath on Sunday, is heard none too frequently and management cannot be too highly commended for its efforts, for they are truly adrustic in spirit; first for the opportunity given to the music lovers of the community to hear the best music, and second, the golden opportunity to receive a hearing under favorable circumstances. Miss Demby, the soprano soloist, was not heard to an advantage. In the recitative which precedes the aria "Sing ye Praise," from Mendelssohn's "Song of Praise," she was slightly off the pitch. In the second number, however, "Show Thy Merey Lord," by Gustav Merkel, she thrilled the audience. The composition itself, conceived in a truly religious vein, was sung by Miss Demby with a reverent fervor and a musical understanding that was indeed uplifting. W.L.W.

Sloan's Instrumental Work Period GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are no many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are not making more than normal pressure. It is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinlode is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinado is the invention of an export chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinado it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasap, Quinasap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but inste of getting Seeby's Quinado and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 28 cents each. If your drugstress or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

To wit:— Sidra I is having been brought to our attention that the citizens committee of Annapolis, Md. in charge of the Snowden case were in immediate need of five hundred dollars to pay for the printing of the necessary record and testimony of the trial held at Towson, Md. to get the plea for a new trial before the Court of Appeals may October 14th, 1915 and provided for the said five hundred dollars and turned the same over to the committee at Annapolis. This action was taken by the undersigned for the reasons. 1st, because it was made apparent to us that the money must be provided for at once to get the case before the court. 2nd, because of the quarantine burden on by the epidemic, the health authorities had put a ban on all public gatherings and even church meetings, so that it was both impractical and impossible to call a meeting of citizens to provide the necessary amount. 105 Paisley Street to see that the man Sweden should have a chance for a new trial and believing that such was the desire of the colored people of the state was the motive for our action. The placing of this five hundred dollars in the hands of the Annapolis committees was what secured the recent hearing of this case by the Court of Appeals, and the man far having been accomplished, we respectfully appeal to the colored citizens of Baltimore and the State of Maryland for contributions towards meeting this obligation, such contributions may be made to any of the undersigned at the offices of the Daily Mail, the Voice, The Commodity and The Afro-American who are the only parties authorized to receipt for the same.

That the honesty of the employees cannot be questioned is demonstrated that in the handling of invoices or dollars worth or stamps during the year not as much as a one-gam stamp was not, or misd. The exercises during the week were attended by some of the most prominent men and women in the country, especially was this noted by the large number of people exercising were of the personal character, but all of this and that can be said of the bounding of a father importance when it is known that the management, or this great institution is instilling into its employees honesty, efficiency and reliability. A mid minute later a day later many certifications has assertion, yet is only can say that there is a minimum of time by the employees of this excellent institution. Not only are the qualifications noted above instilled into the hearts and minds of the employees, but their other interests, trained after, must be maintained and regular attendant upon some church. Religious services are held daily. Their physical needs are looked after and a gymnasium is provided; intellectually they are looked after by lectures, one work and other means, and so everything is one place of each person enriched in its establishment. We could give a synopsis of the exercises of the week, the many men and women of nation wide reputation who took part in the exercises, the things they said and the songs they sank, and the movies that Mature, but I am of the impression that something of the people themselves who have owed this great business, which has produced this great building the most of its kind in the United States, and possess the only one of its kind in the world we do better. I groups were bestowed with a book plan on one evening during the dedication services. The superintendent of the orphan assembling and members of the management came and presented Mr. and Mrs. Mature with a handsome basket of flowers. It was noted that while the basket was hammered decorated with ribbons, etc., the flowers were not It was a representation of the institution itself, in making the presentation speech, the superintendent stated that during the past winter, when had been an especially hard one for the institution, not at any time was there sattering that sort, and Mrs. Malone had seen to it that when corn was needed corn was fortunemaking, and so with other things, so that the child went hungry or cold, the cause caused by Mrs. Malone and Mrs. Malone, in repressing Mrs. Malone stated that there was a warm spot in the hearts of Mrs. Sarlone and himself for the orphans because both of them, had been left orphans at two years. And in relating their very struggles he was overseeing with enmotion, wishing the orphan management that while he and Mrs. Malone had a dollar the orphans would be welcome to a part of it. He stated that he and his wife told that they were only scavenged of the money boony, and that they gave only seriously they felt they owed it to Him that they gave us literally. With this spirit behind any movement it must surely be a success. Among those present and taking part in the exercises, were: Bishop L. J. Coppin, D. D., of Philadelphia; Rev. S. Kimpson Brooks, D.

Orrie Thomas, wife of Wm. G. Johnson, departed this life, December 6, 1945, leaving a husband, two children, Gortrade and Knoen, one grand-niece and a son-in-law. She was born in Goulston, N. J. a town deriving its name from her family of Couens and Pierres, who settled in a northern part of Goulston and parry in Bridgeton townships more than two hundred years ago. An account of her life and history is the book of Eugene Diner, who wrote the history of Cumberland Co., of New Jersey in 1865. Like the Samaritans, they married and intermarried to a large degree among themselves. These people have always and a peculiar genius for industry, education and learning good children which is harried in their family genealogy furthermore, they were great teachers, classmates, and friends who were widely known as seen in no section or locally have men and women graced humanity and imnated the world for good by their peculiar genius than the descendants of Gouldown. Such men as Bispong Benjamin F. Lee, of the A. M. L. Churchen, who at one time was president of Wilberforce University, An- There has been a long line of teachers among them. Many of them are prominent today in the public schools of New Jersey and elsewhere, and they have methodized their teaching and Sarah Anne Gould, the latter being a school teacher. Her groundfather and father were the first appointed superintendents of the old Goulthout Church. Mrs. Thomas' natural ability and aptitude for Sunday School work is hereditary. Her historian says "To look back for two centuries on the name which found this community and be able to say in general terms that it is a name unimproved in the court animals of this county by crimes or by drunkard or by paparer is a burglar, in which any community that joins in with it may be in the order of wealth." In such a family Mrs. Olivia Thomas was born 58 years ago. November 29 last. It was but natural that she should have such womanly views and natural instinct for training little children for the highest life, who in herself possessed the highest qualities for mechness, for purity, for righteousness and for the noble best Christian character, which was so beautifully certified in the richest years of life in this church and Sunday. School which she loved and gave her life, a sacrifice. Being removed from our ranks by death leaves a vacancy that will not be easily filled. —From the Session of Grace Presbyterian Church. CARD OF THANKS The family of the late Olivia Thomas wishes to express thanks for floral designs from the following: President and Mrs. Guth, Goucher College; Faculty and Student Body of Goucher College; Grace Presbyterian Sunday School; Pastor and Session Leader; Pastor and Church; Mr. and Mrs. Armstead and family; Mr. and Mrs. Taylor; Mr. and Mrs. Howe; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jones; Mrs. Maggie Greens and family; Family of the deceased.
