DuBOIS I N.A.A.C.P. HEAD NATIONALIZA Convention of Negr Meet In Paris, I ference Intere In Democr New York, December 16.—A memorandum pleading for the privilege of self determination of the Negroes in Portuguese and Belgian Colonies in Africa, and proposing a convention representing the Negroes of the World to meet at Paris, France, sometime during the sessions of the Peace Conference was issued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today. The memorandum was submitted by P. B. B. Dutloff to Colonel E. M. House, white, one of the United States Peace Commissioners in Paris with President Wilson as his confidential adviser. AFRICA SHOULD BE FREE African should be liberated, says Dr. DuBois, and proposes the formation of a governing international commission that would represent the independent African republics. Barter of colonies without regard to the wishes or welfare of the inhabitants has been a constant source of friction, Dr. DuBois contends in opening his memorandum. Therefore, he argues, if the aims of the war are to be realized, it is necessary that the duly expressed opinion of civilized Negroes throughout the world be taken into consideration in determining the status of the African colonies. QUALIFIED INTERESTS NAMED The public opinion which should have the decisive voice in the disposition of the former German colonies, Dr. DuBois enumerates as composed of: The chiefs and intelligent Negroes among the 12,500,000 native in German Africa, the 12,000,000 civilized Negroes of the United States, educated persons of Negro descent in South FIVE BELL-BOYS SoldLiquor to Men In Half Pint. Federa mined To Br That the government is using every means to break up the selling of liquor to men in uniform was again evidenced last week by the arrest of five bellmen at the Southern Hotel. The men are Walter Brookins, Chas. H. Byrd, Julian Brendon, Winfield Fletcher and Valpranda Brooks. At the taking of the evidence last Saturday morning before the United States Marshal the glasses containing the whiskey served were produced. Each man pierced guilty and all were released on bail except Winfield Fletcher. The Federal agents have been hearing for some time that soldiers were obtaining liquor at the Southern Hotel. The fact was brought to light when some soldiers complained about the price of the liquor, which was $3 a half pint. On last Friday night detectives, disguised as soldiers, went to the hotel and purchased whiskey from the above named menmen. Both the manager and head bellman at the hotel had called the bellman in conference and warned them about selling liquor to men in uniform. On last Friday night they were again called into conference but at this meeting the detective accompanied the manager and picked out one man who had sold them whiskey. Four men were left on the night watch; and the day watch of the following day was so frightened that some failed to show up for work on Saturday. At the hearing on Thursday morning before Judge Rose all of them except Brooks were held over by the court to await the testimony of this man. The judge whiskey. Brooks, the judge ruled that his motive was different from that of the other four men, was sentenced to two months in jail. America and the West Indies, the independent Negro Governments of Abyssinia, Liberia and Haiti and the educated Negroes of France, West Africa and Equatorial Africa, British Uganda, Nigeria, Basutoland and the 4,500,000 members of the Union of Africa. Dr. DuBois demands the "utmost liberality in the treatment of the natives, their manner of living and their general customers in the Government of this African democracy. He advocates the modernization of Africa through the schools and the use of properly trained colored officials in local self-government. He recommends the socialization of income and the application of the newer ideals of industrial democracy. APPEALS AGAINST PREJUDICE In conclusion, Dr. DuBois appeals for the easing aside of the old prejudice against the Negro, and pleads for a redeemed Africa that will aid in the redemption in the public mind of Negroes all over the world. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in indoling the stand of Dr. DuBois, issued a statement yesterday. In which it emphasized the fact that the association stood for the liberation of the Negro here as well as in Africa. James Weldon Johnson field secretary of the association, in discussing the memorandum, said: After all, the association is primarily interested in assuring the Negro here the fullest political and economic freedom—that freedom to which every American citizen is entitled. We are interested in the African democracy, because that too means the liberation of the Negroes and the elevation of the Negro in the public mind." TAKEN IN RAID Uniform at, $3.00 per l Authorities Deter- eak Up Practice Negroes are Anglo-Saxons Says White Woman. Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.—Mrs. Edward L. Parks, wife of the Treas- urer of Howard University makes this rather novel announcement in the South Western Christian Advocate; She says. I affirm that the colored people of our country are Anglo-Saxons, not because most of them have more or less of Anglo-Saxon blood in their veins, but because all their traditions of government, their love for and struggles for liberty are essentially Anglo-Saxon. Every race as every individual, has its own peculiar characteristics, dominated purpose and that, inspite of its failures, the Anglo-Saxon has been out for civil liberty since the first appearance of its stage, a shuffling of all the tools and his spirit the American Negro is an Anglo-Saxon. I notice, by-the-way, that Dr. Dubois, for whom I have the greatest respect, thank heaven that he has no Anglo-Saxon blood. Well, can't blame any colored Anglo-Saxon for saying about white americans, heaven knows he has had provocation enough to say almost anything. At the same time I can't help having a suspicion that anyone of the races from whom Dr. claims his origin may have done sciences under the same circumstances than did the despised Anglo-Saxon. Also, those of us who have to admit Anglo-Saxon origin may comfort ourselves by remembering Garrison, Summer, Harriet Becker Shower and hosts of others who annotated and in the last analysis Anglo-Saxon conscience and devotion to liberty that brought emancipation in this country."

Jones of the Urban League represented the Negro. Mr. Jones said he was in favor of a League of Nations, but if America was to face the world with this proposition, and expect other nations to take it seriously, then America must grant its people the freedom, personal safety and justice and a more general participation in the affairs of government.

T McADOO CALLS HALT ON DIS- CRIMINATION. Says His Object is to Give Negroes Advantage of Same Working Conditions as Whites Enjoy New York, December 15 — Secretary McAdoo's reply to the protest of the A. N. A. C. A. P. against the order of R. H. Aikison, white Regional Director of the Northwestern railroads' structuring, McAdoo negroes as firemen, hostess, switchmen and brickmen. If they were not already doing so, was made public today. The Secretary said that the action of his subterfuge had been taken because white unions advised their men not to work along the railroads. Secretary McAdoo insisted this order and added this word: "It has been my earnest desire and effort, while the railroads are under Federal control, to give the Negroes the benefit of the same working conditions and wages as white men receive for similar work and to keep the conditions under which Negroes travel on the railroads. Much has already been accomplished in this direction. The answer of the N. A. A. C. P. thanked Secretary McAdoo for his prompt investigation and the rescuing of the order and stamped the refusal of white unionism to work with colored men as "unAmerican, indefensible," and "another" question which must be taken up with the unions." HAS NAME OF SONG CHANGED The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces that through its effects the publishers of a song entitled "Nigger War Bridge Blues." The publishers in their reply stated that there was no intention on their part to reflect on the colored race. Nashville. Teen. Dec. 16—The National Baptist Convention, unincorporated of which E. P. Jones is president, appropriated a quarter of a million dollars for educational and missionary work with the SHS, will be held in connection with the Sunday School Conference at Norfolk. Ya. in June. A commission including H. A. B. Boyd of this city, C. P. Madison of Norfolk, and three others was appointed to "plant the denominational ideals and principles in France, and assist in whatever way possible in seeing to it that the colonies in Africa are not returned to Germany." ON SERIOUS CHARGE The police of the northwestern district endeavored for the last four days to place the blame for the death of Ethel Maria Wright of 1809 Division street, who died suddenly on Saturday, December 14. Mrs. Wright was taken sick a few days before she died and Dr. D. Grant Scott of 354 W. Biddle St., was called in. His diagnosis was that some one had committed an abortion. The matter was reported to the police and they immediately started on the case. As a result of their investigation, Ethel Butler of 644 Hollins Street and Edward Wright, 1237 Division St. the husband to the dead woman, were held on circumstantial evidence. The dead woman, formerly Ethel White, during the month of August past married Edward Wright, who deserved her a few months afterwards. During the inquest, which was held at the northwestern Police Station last Tuesday night, the testimony of the various witnesses exonerated Ethel Butler and the husband. Edward Wright from all blame. The jury agreed that the deceased came to her death from the result of an abortion committed by an unknown person. From left to right—Pvt.

Subsequent announcement, that President Wilson had called the Tuskegee President, into conference on the disposition of Germany's former colonel of the colored troops, said that there was some other purpose behind Dr. Moton's trip than the one publicly announced. The Cleveland Gazette come out money with the statement that: "If President Wilson expects to use Dr. Robert R. Moton to help offer any effort one people may make to a hearing before the World's Peace Conference, we feel sure he will be quite as frankly the Pitsburg Counsel assures the "suspicion obtains that Major Moton was sent to France to be conveniently present in the event the Negro Problem in America was solved," members of the Peace Conference, Many subscribe to the theory that in the event President Wilson is asked too pointedly about the treatment the black American received in the United States, he will call in Major Moton as soon as possible, along together in the United States." A PERTINENT QUERY Flouting the published reason assigned for the Doctor's visit this newspaper adds, "to look after the morale of the soldiers seems a great stench." And the morale of the soldiers when they went to France last year?" The Omaha, Nebraska, MONTOR, by way of sarcasm says: "By the way, have any white commissions been sent over to France to the troops of the army, of the troopers and request them to preserve their good name?" The MONTOR regards the statement as an "insult to the character of our boys over there," and surmises that the real purpose back of it is to prepare the soldiers for their return to France to unjust and prejudiced America. The Indianapolis FREEMAN, alone of the leading Journals is convinced that the selection of Dr. Moton is indicative of wise judgement on the part of President Wilson and both country and soldiers will profit from his trio, overseas. METROPOLITAN OUT OF DEBT Washington, D. C., Dec. 16.—The amount reached by Metropolitan A. M. E. Church in its last great rally totaled $12,748. But $2,000 remains on the bended foot of the church and a sufficiently expected be raised in time for the mortgage burning and unveiling of memorial tablet on January 26th. EBENEZER CHURCH With the whole church in darkness and the congregation marching in with lighted candles the mortgage burning exercises auspiciously began at Ebenczer A. M. E. Church. Montgomery St. near Hanover last Monday night. Various organizations of the church were in line as units and occupied places in the auditorium while the galleries were used for visitors. During the speaking portion of the ceremonies candles were extinguished to be reait at the church in opposition to each member to touch his flame to the burning mortgage suspended in front of the pews. Besides visitors from many churches who were present to extend congratulations and greetings, the feature of the occasion was the presence and prominence on the program given ten or more older members of the congregation, who had been in the church for more than 50 years. Mrs. Susan Edward, aged 88 years, was one of the speakers and said that she had been in Ebenczer church 75 years. Close behind her came Mr. J. A. Jones with a long record of 75 years. Messrs. Lloyd Calm and Aaron Thomas told of their leaving the church 57 years ago to go into the Civil War.

PITTS Washington, Dec. 16.—Testimony of officers of the intelligence Department of the Army before the United States Senate on the activities of German agents in this country during the early part of the war were sensational last week. Most important among the things discussed was the work of German agents among colored people, and it was shown that German propaganda got a considerable start in the South, but that the Editor's "conference called by Mr. Emme Gott and the President's proclamation against lynching completely nullified the effects of it. CAPTAIN LESLIES TESTIMONY Senator Overman asked Captain Leslie if he could throw light on various reports relative to German activities among the Negroes in the Southern States. "A separate department was maintained in the Dr. Albert propaganda bureau for the handling of American race problems, the principal among which was the Negro question," Captain Lester replied. "The bureau obtained, through newspaper agencies and exchanges, and clipping bureau, records of every lynching in the United States or every news item which showed the alleged oppression of the colored race. These were formed into propaganda articles, and were forwarded to the editors of established newspapers. The work was conducted by a man by the name of Von Reiswitz, formerly a Consul, I understand, in Chicago. His headquarters was in and about New Orleans, and all of the Negro propaganda work was conducted from Mexico by von Eckhardt. I say all of it in the sense that the directing head was in Mexico. The men used for the Negro propaganda work were Mexicans and half-breeds and men that were brought to Mexico. Alfred H. Pitts, widely known in the city as a prominent fraternal leader and successful business man died at his home, southeast corner of Milliman street last Saturday night after a lingering illness. Mr. Pitts was born in Northampton, Massachusetts, February 13, 1852, and forty years ago came to this city and settled in East Baltimore. He worked as a sugar refiner, master of a bay steamer, and later engaged in the poultry business with marked success. His work in the various fraternal organization, with the Council of Defense, of which he was chairman of, the Grass Jury, fourth turn and with the Southern Life Insurance Company of which he was president brought him in touch with many hundreds of Baltimoreans. A large concourse crowded the First Baptist Church on Tuesday afternoon where his body lay in state from 10.30 in the morning. The funeral services began at 1.30 in the afternoon. Resolutions were read from the Deacon Board of the church.

City and Instructed-and sent across the bogger, and the wave of Negro propaganda work went from the Mexican border cast, and embraced the states principally of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and Tennessee, were on the unshirts of the movement. The propaganda was directed to stir up trouble, continuously between the whites and the blacks, of any nature and description. "The attempt was also made to win the Negro race to the cause of Germany by immutable arguments. The Negro leaders who were susidized, or attempted to be subsidized, in various local communities, I do not mean the big leaders of the Negro race, but small men scattered here and there, told the Negroes that in Germany the blacks were equal to the whites, that in Germany the white men had equal color lines. They exhibited statements, presumed to be authentic, to this effect and argued with them that, if Germany won the war the rights of the colored people in the South would be equal to those of the whites. "However, their whole system was actually broil on, so far as the civil population was concerned, before 1937, on account of the high wages paid, and the demand for labor in the North. "In the military end the propaganda took the form that the Negro soldiers, when they were wounded, were sent to the front line; on account of the medical attention; that the Negro soldiers in France were sent to the front line; that various forms of discrimination were practiced against the Negro soldiers, and that if the Germans were victorious Germany had promised to set aside a portion of this country where the colored people could rule themselves.

Volle, widow of a French Army Captain at Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday, December 22, at 3:00 P. M. Madum Volle is a native of Belfort, whose husband sacrificed his life in the service of his country. She has witnessed and experienced the wrongs and atrocities of the Inhuman Huns and has an intensely interesting and thrilling story to tell her. Her message to her people, her message to the American people is one of encouragement and inspiration. Her story of the wonderful effect of the appearance on the scene of war of our American soldiers prouses the greatest enthusiasm. She says more American flags are displayed in France than in the United States. Madam Volle is an earnest and pleasing speaker whose greatest charm is her sincerity and simplicity of manner. All who hear her are deeply impressed. Madanic Volle has spoken to an audience of 4000 men and women under the auspices of the W. C. S. C. in Atlanta, Georgia. During her essay in this country she lectured extensively on the Red Cross, War Work Campaign and the U. S. Shipping Board. At the Zion Church, Boston, and the biggest colored church in New York City, Metropolitan Baptist, large and appreciative audiences heard Madam Volle. The so-called "message" she coded for infants in the kitchen of infants, the ravaging of the people, the dispulsalin of territory by the Huns and the bravery of the America and French colored troops will be told with the graphic touch of one, who has actually lived thru the German invasion.

FRIDAY, DEC. 20, 1918 THE AFRO-AMERICAN Pages IN THE CHURCHES THE DISCIPLINARY FINANCIAL PLAN PROVES A SUCCESS AT ASBURY Asbury M. E. Church in East Baltimore enjoys the distinction of being the first of the M. E. Churchs to cancel their bonded indebtedness rec- ently. While the debt was not large it has been paid for as a number of years. A rally planned by the pastor was successfully carried out in Jun- b and the mortgage was lifted, freeing Asbury of debt. This has been accomplished as a result of the successful financial plan of the church. By this plan the current expenses and benevolences of the church are met in full weekly, monthly and quarterly. Each member having previously pledged voluntarily to contribute weekly as much as e is required, the expenses and benevolences, is supplied with fifty-two envelopes at the beginning of the fiscal year. These envelopes containing the contribution are deposited in boxes at the entrance of the church. After the sermon, white the hymn is being sung and the ushers are passing the plate offering, two members of the finance commission empty the boxes and take the envelopes to the finance room where they are opened, counted and the money apportioned between the Stewards, Trustees and the benevolences. In the mean time the Doxology is sung, the Benediction pronounced and the service is over. The sacredness of the service is emphasized by the impression of the service has not been marred by begging, begging for money. Not only are our current expenses and benevolences paid in full to date, but we have in bank as a building fund $2,051.127. Of this amount we raised on last Sunday, the eighth Instant, $1,123.79 in our Four and Twenty Elder Rally. Our members are so delighted with the success of the new financial plan that they would, under no circumstances, return to the old uncertain and unsatisfactory method of financing the church. Only persons have been added to the church this conference year. We feel that our success, financially and spiritually, is due in a very large measure to the indebtable labor of our pastor, the Rev. C. H. Holmes, who has proven himself to be an efficient, capable and unassuming leader, leading us to success in every effort that he has planned. ** ```markdown ``` REPORT OF THE PORCH AND TWENTY ALLEYS' BALLS AT THE PORCH TY SILVERS KNELLY OP.

CHRISTMAS on a week Christmas Day, with the children—the gled hearts of the past, and the gifts of true friend on us. And this will be so because of the world's most attractive, persuasive, Jesus of Nazareth, the companion, the trust and most of sublimest ideas, noblest purpose, world's best teacher and highest, the Son of God.

And this will be so because it will be the birthday of the world's most attractive, delightful and conspicuous Personage, Jesus of Nazareth, the most joyous and helpful companion, the truest and most unselfish in service, the one of sublimest ideals, noblest purposes and purest character, the world's best teacher and highest exemplar, the Prince of Peace, the Son of God. So attractive and delightful was He that little children flocked to Him to be aken in His arms o be blessed by Him. Hardened men were glad to welcome Him to their homes and tender Him their generous hospitality. The most conspicuous person of the ages, because He was from above, and therefore above all—such as the world had never seen before, and the like of whom it will not see again. The one to whom the sorrowing came and forgot their griefs, had their tears wiped away and their saddened hearts cheered, who lived not for Himself, but for others, who preached a gospel of joyfulness and gave to broken hearted humanity a message of good cheer and hopefulness—assuring that the great and good God is the flocked to Him to be taken in His arms to be blessed by Him, but all may gladly follow Him in all the way He leads them. His birth was proclaimed by angelic heralds bearing the joyous announcement of "Peace on Earth and Good Will towards Men." It is through the inculcation of the principles and truths which He taught, and by their acceptance and practice, only that the world will find and enjoy real and lasting peace. lasting peace. All should enter upon this joyous Christmastide which is now upon our thresh-hold, with feelings of joy and gladness, though with many of us, such feeling may be mingled with some sorrow and tears because of the sad experiences that have come to many since last we celebrated our Saviour's birthday. The reason why we should be joyous and glad is that the season brings fresh to our recollection all that Jesus the Man of Joyousness and Peace is to everyone who acknowledges His supremacy, and His rightful claim to our love, obedience and service, and because of the fact that the principles for which He was born, lived and died are more and more recognized by mankind as the principles of truth, righteousness, justice and liberty, and have so gripped the hearts of men, that for their maintenance, wider diffusion and more general adoption and practice the world has just passed through the greatest war of history, with the almost absolute certainty that from now on, the wide world over, men will know and enjoy more of the larger and fuller life so beautifully exemplified by the Man of Nazareth—during the few years He lived among men. The Afro-American wishes a Joyous Christmas to all its readers, and exhorts all to rejoice—rejoice in the Lord—for unto us a Saviour is born who is Christ the Lord—that this Saviour is Jesus the Christ, who lives and reigns today—the world's only Hope—man's best friend, the Prince of Peace and Love. 92nd IN GERMANY Word received from the 351st F.

Word received last week however, indicates that Pershing has changed his mind and made the 92nd Division a part of the forces who will camp on German soil for a while, feast on weenies and sour krout, and smile at German dam-s Like the French common people the German middle class know no such thing as race prejudice.

A year ago no one could foretell that our soldiers would be on German soil for Christmas, but there they are and largely because General Pershing wants them. Pershing has been asking the War Department for two years to send Colonel Young over to him, and, the Department did not do it. The War Department would probably like to have colored troops home but General Pershing does not; so Germany's theirs for Christmas.

This is saying a lot, and he ought to know. He includes the Y. M. C. A., K. of C. and Salvation Army among organizations that are drawing the color line in France. Look where this puts the Red Cross: "The only American Organization in France that does not draw the Color Line." Frank M.

They say— "It is the merest justice that the Germans of the Palatinate should be privileged to see these troops, whose loyalty never swerved and who, though coming from the wildest tribes of the interior of Morocco, look with horror upon the atrocities committed by the German soldiers in Belgium and France."

There are altogether too few men in Baltimore, or Maryland either for that matter, of the stamp and character of Alfred H. Pitts and his loss will be severely felt in the community. Our sympathy goes out to the family, but no less to the community, for his loss to the community is equal to that of the loss to his family. Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, a small town not far from Chester has posted a notice advising all colored people to leave town by December 21st. Sounds like Texas. According to press dispatches Germany has sent a note of protest to France that the use of colored troops in the occupation of the Palatinate, a German province, "is an insult to the sentiment of a community of white races." These colored troops are said to include the admirable Moroccan contingent, which fought valiantly on the Western front. Before they left home, the Germans distributed incendiary leaflets among them, urging the regiments in the name of Moslem Kaiser Holy Wilhelm to massacre their French officers and declare a holy war on France. "GOD'S A NIGGER!" This expression was uttered by a white man of the post office in Charleston, W. Va., during the influenza epidemic. And this expression, like the "fool" took among the people. This man thought that the influenza germ had shown that God was partial in favor of black people. This suspicion is not justified. Whatever other indignities may be brought against the influenza Germ it is certainly free from race and color prejudice. That is it attacked those who were for the attack, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude or unservednessness. But it just impaired that thus some immunizing process known only to Nature, the colored American seemed to be somewhat better fortified against this particular germ than was the white American. That was no fault of the germ. If the germ has eyes (which may be doubled), I dare say it is color-blind. It seems to work principally in the dark. To speak in german language, it attacks those most "to be attacked. I have heard of other member of this Germ family, whose given name is mercurial, and who seems to find his best chance in the bodies of black people. I have never thought that it was color-prejudice on the part of this germ, but only opportunity. In fact no germ yet discovered has been proven to be capable of stooping to that vile thing called Race Prejudice. As a matter of fact, however, white people suffered and died in greater proportion from the influenza germ,—which fact caused this post office man to exculpe in a crowd: "Gods a nigger." Presently we will discuss the philosophy of this exclamation—for we believe that it is nearer the truth than the opposite statement would be. It is the mission of babies and fools to make utterances whose profound significance they did not was not told the age of the party who made this utterance, but I will venture a mere guess that he is not one of the babies. Before coming to that, however, I wish to say a word or two more in defense of Mother Nature, who in fact shows clearly that she is no respecter of persons or of artificial considerations. Even the higher animals seem to be free from mere color-prejudice or feature-prejudice in their own species. They may manifest instinctive prejudice toward members of other species (as cats and dogs). but man is the only creature who stoops to mean and artificially created prejudices within his own species, inspired by such shallow considerations as color, skull-shape, foot-shape and other superficialities. Even the cattle or the pigs of different colors and skull-shapes may fraternize. Now, disease germs are somewhat more retiring in disposition and less prominent in the public eye than are cattle and pigs; but from what little I have seen of them and from the great deal I have seen of fruits of their work, I judge them to be as impartial as These Boys Were From left to Right—Sergeant Joseph M. Bickerdale, Franklin, and Private Daw These Boys Were Wounded in Action. From left to right—Sergeant Joseph Matthews, Private Harry Whittington, Private Richard Freeman, and Private David Beckett. Mother Nature herself. Of course, I have heard human lecturers, prompted by their own feelings, no doubt, ascribing to Tuberculosis Germ a prejudice against black people. That is sluder. This germ perhaps finds ex-Africans biologically or circumstantially, or in both ways, "filter" for its work. But what people set out to prove they generally prove, even if they must turn their own rules inside-out. For example: When Negroes die faster, it is often described to their inferiority. But when a black person the African shoe worn heard that individuals were having relatively little effect on colored people, she is reported to have said: "Well, that proves that they are not human like the rest of us." But now to the philosophy of the statement: "God's a nigger." If God wanted to identify himself with anybody in the United States, why not with the "niggers"? When He chose to come into the world that was owned and bossed by the Romans, He did not come as a proud Roman, but as a despised and helpless Jew. Is not the heart of the Eternal sympathetic? He shows a disposition to identify himself with those who are right—and especially when they happen to be right and wronged at the same time. Note that expression—not "right and wrong," but right and wronged—wronged: When man was battling a losing battle against the devil, God decided to become, not one of the mighty devils, but a Man—to identify himself with the weak and wronged party. And after deciding to become a man, the "big" people of the world, God became a Jew. He might just as easily have become a great Roman general and gotten the kowtows of all creation. Or better still, He could have incarnated himself in Augustus and received the homage of the mighty. But He didn't. I have always said and I always will believe that God has in large measure all of the good things which He has given in smaller measure to man,—and one of these good things certainly is a sense of humor! God would not think of siding up with the "mighty" and haughty and vain, when it is so much more fun to be found adding his power to the "weak" and humble and real. If He wanted to rub shoulders with men in this generation, I have no idea that He would come as Teuton or even as Anglo-Saxon. But what opportunities and what a great inclination His heart would have to become identified with a Chinese coolie or a "Georgia nigger." If God chooses to be one thing more than another in America, it may still be said thoughtfully and reverently that "God's a nigger." LETTER TO SANTA Dear Santa Claus, I am larger and a better boy this year. I want you to give me some help to keep me in good cheer. Yours truly, Little Spencer Cain O. P. C. 1939 Writes to his brother, J. Aubrey Sullivan. Carpenter, 2334 McCullon St.—No doubt you have heard of the catastrophe that will in all probability determine our future, and should and must bring about great changes to our advantages; yes if we were asked today what we wanted, or a ward we would not like be in a position to state, because of the suddenness. Although our argument was last getting into the actual struggle, nevertheless my division did some remarkable capturing and I am glad I got some of these Huns under clutches. It was while on a little raiding party many prisoners and several machines gunned three prisoners of which I captured myself. Oftimes on the firing line during the night and early of the morning instead of having service calls blown by the buglers to call the relief, they were sounded of burning shells from the artillery all around and sleep came only between intervals. But now that I am used to it, it reminds me of a mother's hullaby. My men are doing wonderful work, sticking to me like a leech and are always willing to obey in carrying out any mission, regardless of its danger. This is the spirit of our son, the more dangerous the mission, the more cheerful they assume the responsibility. I am certainly proud of them and you know that sort of thing is just what we need, something exciting. Much conflict is over now, after much strife and successive victories we are once more ready to continue our peace terms concerning GUR places in the sun. Now I hope this war will teach the world that our soldiers are still following the wonderful heroic deeds of their forefathers. Arrington S. Heim 131 St. Leu, Chapain (Senior) 312 R. L. U. S. A. Writes to the editor of the Afro- American that the colonel, Guilfer by name, commanding the L. D. (In- firmry Division) has recommended the 322 Regiment for a citation in the orders of the French Army worded as follows: "Gave proof during the first engagements of the finest qualities of bravery and bravery which are the virtues of assault troops." "Under the orders of Colonel Trips darted with superb gallantry and admirals, scorn of danger of the assail of a position continuously defended by the enemy; taking it by storm under exceptional machine gun fire and very severe losses. They made numerous prisoners, captured cannons, machine guns, and important war material." The French General, Gayet by name, commanding one division, says our troops have been admirable in their attack. He says our colonel has every reason to be proud of the courage of his officers and men. The general considers it an honor to have us in his division. My regiment because of its bravery and dash won the admiration of the Moroccan Division, who themselves are "chock troops." During those hard days our division was at all times in advance of all other divisions of the Army Corps. General Gayet visited our wounded and found their morale higher than any praise. He sends us all his thanks. TOOK CHAMPAGNE Walter Turber American Expeditionary Force Writes to his mother Mrs Sidney ki Turner 1899 Drudg Hill avenue, Bordeaux 1909 the great celebration held in Bordeaux the day the annual ties was signed. He says that the French people indulged in every form of celebration imaginable. He celebrated it personally by making away with several bottles of champagne. 808 CELEBRATES THE SIGNING OF THE ARMISTIC Private Henry P. Kelson Co. B. 806 Pioneer Infantry Writes to his mother on November 15, that he is well and very glad that the war is over. The toys in his regiment had a celebration over there when the armistice was signed; they shot off fire works and a lot of other things. Private Kelson says although he cannot be home for Christmas dinner he will enjoy it in his imagination. OLD F. S. A. FOR HIM 505 Pioneer Int. Headquarters Co. Writes to his mother that he is well and hopes to keep so. That he has not been to the front, therefore there is no necessity for worry. France has been a beautiful place, and some parts are yet although the country has been greatly demolished. The French people are both kind and friendly, but the old U. S. A. for him. The boys go the Afro-American often and enjoy very much. Writes to his brother, Bernard that he is still among the living. The boys are wild with delight now that the war is over and the only thing that you can hear them say is, "when are we going home?" On November 12. Lieut.

B. 513 Pioneer Infantry Writes to his sister, Mrs. Annie Haughton, that he was well and happy although the life overseas was quite different from life in camp. He would appreciate a bath very much. The well from which they drew water is a mile away and they would use rain water, as the rain landed for five continuous days, but it was against army regulations.

Williams, Personnel Sergeant, 321st Artillery, sends the following statement to the Editor of the Afro- American: Memorandum: Five months ago the 92d Division landed in France. After seven weeks of training it took over a sector in the front line and since that time some portion of the Division has been practically continuously under fire. It participated in the last battle of the war with creditable success, continually pressing the attack against highly organized defensive works. It advanced successfully on the first day of the battle, training the objective and capturing prisoners. This in the face of determined opposition by an enemy, and against rifle, machine- gun and artillery fire. The issue of the second day's battle was rendered undesirable by the order to cease firing at eleven A.M. when the armis- terie became effective. The Division Commander, in taking leave of what he considers himself justly entitled to regard as his Division, feels that he has accomplished his mission. His work is done and will endure. The results have not always been brilliant, and many times were not encouraging, yet a well organized, well disciplined, and well trained colored Division has been created and commanded by him to include even the last battle and the last shot of the great world war. May the future conduct of every officer and man be such as to reflect credit upon the Division and upon the colored race. By command of Major-General Bailour: ALLEN J. GREEP Colonel, General Staff Chief of Staff Writes to Miss Dalry Jones, 211 W. Mulberry street, that he and the boys are having a jolly good time and expects to be home soon. He also says the Y. M. C. A. reminds him of home. FIRST SEPARATE COMPANY HAS DINNER WITH GERMAN OFFICERS Sgt. Rufus Pincney Headquarters Co. 312 Infantry Writes to the Editor of the Afro-American that he is out of the hospital and the battle fields are very quiet now except for the singing and dancing of the boys. He says that he saw the day that the armories were signed that the Germans throw down their arms and came running to them shouting "comrade." The Sergeant further states that the old First Separate Company has had the distinction of having dinner with the German officers. Sgr. Pinckney has won a Croix de Guerre. He says that the boys have kept their word, that is that they would be in Berlin, or have peace by Christmas or report to God the reason why. Sgr. Pinckney sands the following poem: It was on the ..... (deleted by caesar) And as hot as hot could be. It was where the Negro soldiers Will do down in history. Private Beverly G. Curtis Curtis Telephone Section. Headquarters Co. 321 Infantry Writes to his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gray, Aquasco, MD, that he is very glad that the war is over, but he is quite sure that it has improved every man in the army. He says that though the war is over the man are not idle; they are still on the lines and will see the Doche out of France. Private Curtis says that the Germans are just as glad as the Americans that the war is over. On the day the armistice was signed a bunge of the Huns came across the lines and shook hands with them. Continued from Page One older members of the congregation were dive "Generals." Measlesa Louis Crews Anna R. Doner, Emma Smith, Emma Sidney and Florence Parker, then whose efforts in a three months rally #4031 was raised to free the church from its last vestige of debt. Mortgages on the church died from 1833, and with interest amounted to nearly $21,000. About $16,999 payments of interest. Severely poor members of Ebenezer had reduced the mortgage substantially but it remained for the present minister, Ben Charles Stewart to take the church over the Tap. The fine team work of the New Rev. Stewart and his congregation was the theme of several speakers, and was further evidenced in the financial report which showed a total of $2,000 raised by members of the congregation for all purposes in the past two and one half years. THANKS "AFRO" Mr. J. H. Murphy, Editor of the Afro-American, Baltimore. Md. My dear sir. On behalf of the Maryland State Colored Teachers' Association, we want to thank you very kindly for the excellent account of the proceedings of our recent meeting in your city. The articles were interesting and very timely. We want further to thank you for the many kind things said about our Association from time to time. We feel that the pain given us has permitted us to accomplish some of the many things that we started out to do. Again thanking you, we are your closest. Md. State Teachers' Association. Jean L. Nichols, Secretary. Among the resolutions adopted at the recent meeting of the Maryland State Colored Teachers' Association, were the following: Resolved that this Association appreciates very keenly the action of the State Board of Education in the establishment of four state high schools for the education of colored children. To the Secretary of the Board, and through him to every member of the Board, this Association pledges itself to display such an unselfish and faithful interest in the development of these schools as will convince those in the community of the necessity of providing these four schools, but of the necessity of materially increasing this number at an early date. "Resolved that this Association petition the State Board of Education that no hindrance, within their power to remedy, be permitted to stand in the way of these newly created high schools, to the end that they may function fully in meeting the needs of the people for whom they were established; that, therefore, the Board at once decree or cause to be decreed that the term of these schools shall be equal in length to the term of all high schools of the state, much as unary or any other condition that the four high schools for colored children will start with, with an insurable handicap in their effort to meet the requirements of standard high schools anywhere. "Resolved that to the officials of school and state the colored teachers of Maryland reaffirm their unwerving loyalty to the highest ideals of this nation; that to the government they re-dedicate their individual and collective services during the coming year. The difficult problems incident to war and reconstruction must be solved in the profoundest spirit of patriotism and intelligent statesmanship if the sacrifices of blood and tears, of weal and wealth are to be rewarded by a genuine advance in the direction of justice, humanity, freedom and real liberty. An enlightened democracy can be realized only in the intelligent individual citizenship of the state, and for the realization of this end, in the future as in the past, the colored teachers of Maryland offer all that they have and all that they are. They are willing to spend and be spent to the end that America first shall be the nation which America patriots, sacrificed their lives, and fortunes; that under God and one flax white and black and yellow men shall be free indeed, that justice shall prevail everywhere within her borders, and that intelligence shall be the common possession of all her citizenship." Carrington L. Davis, chairman of Committee on Resolutions. CHRISTMAS BASKETS Will be distributed to the deserving poor Christmas morning between the hours from 8 to 10 o'clock by Memorial Lodge No. 2, Elks, at their Home, 414 W. Hoffman St. They will be only given to worthy persons that no church or charitable organizations are looking out for. The names must be sent in by Monday evening. Dec. 23rd to be turned over to the Committee. Wm. Lewis, Chairman. SAVINGS CAMPAIGN Every one asked to Help Put Maryland Over the Top. In just about two weeks the Thrift Stamp Campaign will end. The colored population of Baltimore has made a fine showing in this campaign as they have done in the two Red Cross drives, the Liberty Loans, and in the United War Workers' Campaign. But $18,000,000 worth of War Savings Certificates must be purchased yet before Maryland has reached its quota. Every one is now thinking and planning what to give mother, sister and brother for a Christmas present, what would be more acceptable than ever or more War Savings Certificates. It will be a present that will have a twofold value. For first of all, it will be giving him something that will increase in value, as War Saving Certificates bear interest. In addition this every one will be doing his part in putting Maryland Over the Top in this drive thus supporting the Country and State. Following is the splendid showing made by the various schools in the War Savings Campaign: SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Training. Jos. H. Lockerman $ 400.00 Colored High, Mason Hawkins 300.00 101.

"The Kaiser's Finish." a strange and noble story filled with inspiration by S. L. Warner, tells of Robert Busch the son of a wealthy German-American banker, who answers the call for volunteers to the standards of Universal Freedom and Democracy only to find his path to service blocked by an unsuspected taint of dishonor scarred upon his soul and character by the ruler of Prussia.

HAPPINESS The Afro-American is printing this second poem by Le Roy Hart, a local hard readers will remember his first poem entitled "Optimism" several weeks ago. To set our ideals in the sky And strive to reach them, though we die. And dying, smile that we did try— Is happiness. To give our fellow-man a lift And help his clouded sky to rift: Go to his aid with actions swift— Is happiness. To live a life of such a hue As to be ranked with virgin dew A life that's lived, alas, by few) Is happiness. To know that after this brief play The soul emerging from its clay Begins an endless "perfect day"— Is happiness. LE ROY S. HART. XMAS GIFTS Just a few more days and Christmas will be with us and some of us are no nearer ready than we are two months ago. We are asked this year to make our gifts especially serviceable ones. We must not forget to make it especially a children's holiday, the best, the very happiest day of the whole year to them as it always has been and always will be. It does not take much to make children happy, unless you give them false ideas of the day and of the gifts they should expect. Than with them and show them how to provide little gifts for others; teach them that it is the surrest and best road to happiness and to make some one else happy will bring them happiness. There are many little things they can be taught to make. A small gift well made is decidedly better taste than an expensive gift that you can ill afford, and is given only for show and with a softish motive. There are very few folks that do not appreciate a hand-made gift no matter how small. As one woman remarked "I always think, well they thought of me before Christmas when my gift is handmade, and I count them as real friends," because I think the person she gave the gift must have had loving thoughts, or they would not have taken the time to make me a gift themselves. One little girl I know, made her grandmother a small bag to hold her ball of yarn and she embroidered a small design on it. Inside she placed a little note saying "Dear Grandma, every stitch in this bag is a stitch of love and kisses for you." Many a small child has been taught to sow in this way, and the task instead of being a bugaboo has become one of love and pleasure. Most small children love to help, so why not teach them now the joy of giving little gifts they have made. LINGERIE CLASPS Lingerie chaps that are easily made and at practically little expense are made of a bit of ribbon and a couple of safety pins. Use medium size pins with number two ribbon shirred on them. There were four pair and each pair were of different colors of ribbon in the pale shades. A pair can be made in a few minutes and they make lovely gifts. BABYS SLEEPING BAG Instead of putting sleeves in a baby's sleeping bag leave it the full width of the cloth; leave an opening at the top for his head and enough buttons or snaps to fasten it around his neck. Saw snaps across the lower edge, too, so it will be easy to change his diapen at night. CHILDREN'S BLOOMERS Do not use buttons and button-holes but make a casing around the top and put in enough half-inch elastic to rest comfortably around the waist. It is much harder for the children and books tidy always, and has the advantage of being easily removed and newly substituted when it is worn out which is quite a saving of time. There are no buttons to pull off nor button holes to tear open. The elastic must not be tight. SWEATER HANGERS Make a sweater hanger for your friend for a Christmas gift. They are handy and always acceptable. Take an oblong or round embroidery hoop, scrawl a hook at the top of one side to hang by, and wrap it with a scarf. Give your friend's favorite color finish with bright colors for flowers. If wrapped in colors to match the color of the girl friend's room to whom it is to be given, it will be doubly acceptable as a gift that does not strike a false color note. BABY RORES Ordinary table padding or silence cloth bound with blue or pink ribbon, is very pretty and laundered very easily. One width of the padding makes two robins as it is so wide it is hard to see. A crocheted edge may be used instead of ribbon and a small design embroidered on it. TURKISH TOWELS Two large Turkish towels, sewed together and the edge finished with cretched edge or scallops, will make a pretty and inexpensive spread for baby's crib or bed, a nice blanket or carriage robe at small expense. PRESSING When you have clothes to press try a newspaper instead of a damp cloth. Renew it as often as it fails to prove effective. DUST When using a broom to sweep and the dust is to be kept from the room previously swept, wet a newspaper and lay it just inside the door. A CLOTHES SPAINKLER Don't buy one, but take any bottle having a metal top and punch holes in it using a small mall to do it with. Those having screw tops are better the other way around. A cold cream or vaseline bottle or salad bottle whichever you have best. A. CLOTHES SPRINKLER Now that the bread-board is again in use it would make a lovely gift. Buy a brand new one of natural color wood and decorate it to suit yourself. The board may be either round, square or oblong. The ingenious housewife can easily decorate it by the use of a stencil or pyrographic needle. It can be elaborately decorated or left perfectly plain. OH, MOR RENOVATION Most house wives know how hard it is to clean an oil mop by ordinary washing. Being in a hurry one day, I took about an ounce of ammonia, a half of a box of washing powder and some hot water, and was surprised to find how quickly and thorny clean my mop became.

Women have again become workers of the world, and their clothes express this fact. Uniforms are becoming popular. The suits of women educators and women farmers, the overalls of factory workers, the nurses' uniforms, and those of the X. W. C. A. and Red Cross workers are all familiar to us now. Young girls have solved the dress problem by a unanimous vote for the mildy blouse. Business women are on the lookout for a standard dress to be worn as long as the material holds, not cas aside at the caprice of fashion. Sport shoes are steadily making their way,—though high heels, alas! are just as high as ever. 'BEEF STEAK ROLL .... BEEF STEAK ROAD Take a good round steak, and after beating, lay flat on a board or table. Make a dressing of mashed potatoes, bread-crumbs, a small piece of butter, minced parsley, chopped onion, salt and pepper. Spread this dressing smoothly on the steak, roll over and over like a rolly- poly and tie with a stout stirring at both ends. Place in a baking pan with a little water and several lumps of suet. Sift bread crumbs over the top. Baste every fifteen minutes until done. SAVING FATS When frying buckwheat, flannel, corn or any other kind of batter cakes use a raw potato. Cut the end off and peel one around. When the griddle becomes hot enough to use, rub the potato over it thorny, and BAY JENKINS INSURANCE PRESENTING W and Provident Association BHAM, N. C.

When smooth add milk (part potato water may be added if water is necessary) stirring constantly until smooth and thickened. Add salt, pepper and parsley to taste. If your gravity gets lumpy strain thru a fine sieve, but if properly made it will need no straining. You will need only a small amount of meat for each person if you sew this delicious gravy. To Remove Threads from a rug or carpet after you've finished sowing, dampen the broom and sweep lightly and the threads are removed without any trouble. This will be especially appreciated by mothers and dress-makers. When you remove parradin from jellies or jams, put it in a small pot of hot water and allow it to melt. Remove the fire and allow to cool, and it will be found in one piece and easily removed and tree from all dirt. MME. M. S.

It saves fat and there is no smoke and your cakes are deliciously browned. Do not throw away the water that is left from cooking potatoes, spinach or kale, as it can be used for many things. Potato water is excellent for basting meats, making gravies, stews, broths, soups and hash. The water from spinach and kale can be used in soups and for stewing onions. If not wanted for use immediately put in an upright glass jar and set in the refrigerator until needed. It will keep a week in warm weather and longer in cold weather. I also use the potato water for mixing any kind of batter cakes where I need water, when milk is scarce. The water that onions have boiled in is usually very strong especially if the onions have been boiled until the water has boiled to about one fourth. A tablespoonful of the water is enough to flavor a pint of boiled salad dressing or stufing for a fowl, or as a flavoring for stews and hash either boiled or fried. Then water saved from the different vegetables combined makes a delicious clear vegetable soup; a few vegetables added to it makes it much richer. Use your potato and onion water together to make tomato soup, or potato soup.

And I went to the best in Edmonton. One said one thing and another said something elsewhere. They did not good, and I grew worse all the time. A friend he had cured recommended me to try 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 complaint other physician had ever touched up properly. He 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 and is running about. Parents are delighted to think Dr. Campbell has wonders, and I am not afraid to tell it. THOMAS A WEHN. THOMAS A WEIN, 1226 Walbrook Ave. Advertisement Baltimore. Md.
