A. is a potent agent in the shift of colored young men," he said, "and is doing a far-reaching work all over the world. I have been deeply interested in the work, and often knowing that Baltimore usually takes its own time about doing things, never doubled that it would lack a modern and well-equipped Y. M. C.

White died at his late residence, 1505 Lombard street, Saturday evening. Mr. White had been in ill health for sometime but only lately took to his bed.

Williams, of York, Pa., who came to the association as its first paid secretary 20 years ago, offered the dedicatory prayer. General Secretary Booker told of the struggle that he had during his four years' incumbency to collect $25,000 of the pledges made by the colored people. "I do not consider I made any sacrifice in staying here," he said, "even though I had hattering offers to go elsewhere, but took it as my duty." He closed with an appeal to raise the $1,300 necessary to complete $25,000 by next Monday night. The invocation was by Bishop John Hurst and the benediction by Rev. George F. Brenge Jr. In inspection of the building followed. LADIES HOLD RECEPTION A reception to the ladies was given in the afternoon, at which time Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, of Wilmington, Dol; Miss M.

Some Few Killed and Many More Wounded. Why They Were Not Sent Overseas. Fort Hunchuca, Arizona, Dec. 28.—The part taken by the 10th Cavalry in the recent affair against hostile Mexicans at Nogales, Arizona, was the occasion for a Review and Inspection of the command at Fort Hunchuca, Arizona on December 14, 1918. It has been the desire of both officers and men of this regiment to add to the laurels already won on the fields of battle, in former campaigns and wars. That the regiment was not permitted to go overseas in the present conflict, was a source of deep regret to all concerned. The wisdom of keeping the organization on duty on the International Boundary Line, was demonstrated by the events of August 27th 1918. knee. Pvt. Class W. Reynolds, Troop A 10th Cavalry, was shot in the thigh. Pvt. Charles T. Johnson, Troop E 10th Cavalry, was shot in the right leg. Pvt. Orvul Walls, Troop A 10th Cavalry, was shot in the arms and chest, also presumably with a shotgun. During this short engagement is Bergerey Penny and Jordan, of Troop C and F, 10th Cavalry, respectively were specially commended by the Commanding General, for their coolness and bravery under fire, both of these First Bergerey having lost their respective troop commanders, immediately took command of their Pvt. Class W. Reynolds, Troop A 10th Cavalry, was shot in the thigh. Pvt. Charley T. Johnson, Troop F 10th Cavalry, was shot in the right leg. Pvt. Orvul Walls, Troop A 10th Cavalry, was shot in the arms and chest, also presumably with a shot gun. During this short engagement 1st Sergueants Penny and Jordan, of Troop C and F, 10th Cavalry, respectively, were specially commended by the Commanding General, for their coolness and bravery under fire, both of these First Sergueants having lost their respective troop commanders, immediately took command of their troops, and by an example of coolness under fire, inspired the men under them. These two men were specifically commended in a letter from General DER.C. Cabell, Major General National Army, who commanded the U. S. Troops at Nogales, at the time of the engagement. General Cabell recommended that these men be promoted to Second Lieutenants for coolness and lead them under fire. Sergueants Penny and Jordan both declined to accept promotion, preferring to remain with their organizations in their present positions. Acting upon suggestions from General Cabell, proceedings were inaugurated, with a view to having these men awarded Certificates of Merit. But upon investigation no specific act, that would warrant such award could be sustained. Under the provisions of General of the Army that the men wounded at Nogales be awarded the wound chevron, for actions against hostile forces. Authority being obtained, the men were authorized to wear the wound chevron, per General Orders No. 14, Headquarters 10th Cavalry, 1918. Upon receipt of the original wound chevrons from the Adjutant General of the Army, the regiment was formed for Review, and the chevrons formally presented by Colonel C. C. Smith, the regimental commander. After the presentation, the regiment was marched it review before the men, who occupied the Reviewing Stand with the Regimental Commander. High Officials of the French Army Destroy Dments in Which They Are Asked to Discriminate Against Our Colored Soldier Boys Over There. (From the Cleveland Advocate) PIANCE, NANCY, Dec. 11—Monsieur Blasse Digne is the deputy commissioner general of France in charge of the effectiveness, or fighting colored troops of France's colonies, and is a close friend of Premier Clemenceau. Monsieur Digne is a black man, but color does not count in France—France has no color problem. The deputy commissioner has an intimate knowledge of the conditions surrounding the colored man in America. He sympathizes with them, as do all of France's colored subjects. When in Nancy, last week he stated that he had requested Premier Clemenceau to make some helpful reference to the colored troops from America at the peace table; that colored Frenchmen had requested that an audience at the peace gathering, he given to a delegation of France's colored subjects to give voice to sentiments that might be helpful to their kinmen in America. The discrimination to which colored officers and soldiers have been subjected at the hands of many American white officers and soldiers has been noticeable to colored Frenchmen, and they have felt it keenly. It has been observed even by white French officers, to all of whom color prejudice is unknown and they have been at a loss to understand why such brave, enduring fighting men of the race the United States sent to help win world democracy should be subjected to embarrassing and retarding discrimination and segregation. APA MEETING IN CLEVELAND APA MEETING IN CLEVELAND Well Known College Men from All Parts of the Country in Attendance Cleveland, Ohio, January 1—'Many a French damselfish has kissed the bronzed lips of our colored soldier boys,' declared Dr. Pezavia O'Connell, pastor of Cory M. E. Church on last-Sunday. The occasion was the public meeting during the Eleventh Annual Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity which began its sessions last Friday and concluded New Years day with a banquet at the Caterer's club. Dr. O'Connell praised the attitude of the French people, who mingle and intermarry freely with their colored brothers. He said that the next war would be for the possession of Africa, and the colored peoples of the Dark continent would ally themselves with France against greedy England. BOOKER PAID HIGH TRIBUTE The Alpha Phi Alpha is the largest of all the intercollegiate fraternities with a membership of 1500. Five hundred men enlisted for war service, many of whom received training at the camp at Fort Des Moines. The Convention paid a splendid tribute to S. S. Booker who was prevented from attending because of the New Year's dedication of the Baltimore Y. M. C. A. Even the absent Mr. Booker was unanimously elected General Treasurer for the fourth term. CHICAGO NEXT YEAR Pi Chapter, Cleveland, composed of students at Western Reserve and Case School of Applied Science entertained the delegates in royal style, and the latch string of the Forest City was hung way out. Dr. Frank Weary, formerly of Baltimore, now conducting one of the largest drug stores in Cleveland, Ormond Forte, editor of the Cleveland Advocate, G. A. Morgan manufacturer, and Salmo C. Penn, attorney, were some of the local men active in the convention's social features. Chicago was selected as the next place of meeting and the following officers were elected. President Daniel G. Fowler, Cleveland, Ohio; Vive President, L. L. M. Ghee, Chicago, Ill.; Secretary, N. P. G. Adams, Washington, Treasurer, S. S. Booker, Baltimore, Editor Sphinx, Carl J. Murphy, Baltimore. 372nd Boys in Franco—1. J. H. Evans; 2, Sergeant Robert Terry winner of War Cross; 3, Cook Burwell; 4, Scott Beatey, of Ohio. Monsieur Dlagne, also, told of certain American white officers writing to French high officials urging that the treatment accorded colored men from American in France, by French officers, was as the means by which our race in America bycrowish white people; that colored Americans were an inferior race and should not be accorded the treatment that French officers and civilians had been in the habit of according to the command of colored officers and soldiers on the part of Frenchmen was referred to Monsieur Blaigne Dlagne, a colored man, genuinely black in complexion, who is "depute commissaire general, charge the contrôle des officielles comtérales P117, such destruction of the paper to constitute the French officials" only reply to the impertinent and unreasonable request from the certain American white army officers. Commissaire Monsieur Dlagne is keeping the torn bits as a source of material have been some American white officers over...not a few, but many...who have, since here, prosecuted propaganda against the colored soldiers; who have done their utmost, without avail to taint France with America's preface of the American white army officers. There have been a few American white officers...not many...over here, who have treated the colored soldiers as American soldiers, as brothers in world democracy's cause, notable in this group because of their color and bravery. Brigaller General Sherburn. In spite of unjustifiable discrimination and handicaps at the hands of certain American white officers over here, colored soldiers, officers and men, have given the best in them the expected discrimination because of their color as they have heroically endured the expected hardships of In the midst of the many brilliant holiday functions of the week, society was shocked by the entrance of Mrs. Lella Walker, Mrs. Robinson, and Mrs. Madam exit, Mrs. Robinson is the daughter of Madam Walker, who is reputed to be the richest colored woman in the world. From the many reports that cross from the United States to a number of society folk from washington, including Dr. Charles Fisher, Miss Missile Fisher, Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Robinson, and several others, aliged from their autumn trips to the United States last Wednesday night to attend a dance given there by the Five Hundred Club of which Mrs. C.-L. Davis is the president. Washington members of the party claim that they received it as a gift girl, who recently visited them with her guest. On the other hand, it is said that the members of the organization decided at a hastily called conference that they had not been properly invited to the party, like the rest of the party, was said to have also been promised an official invitation. Dr. and Mrs. William Wilson and Miss Mamie Lows, also of Washington are said to have left the hall upon arrival to meet their fellow townmen. One of the members of the Five Hundred said to a representative of the Afro-American that it was a gift girl, whose daughter was involved in the incest at the door. She said further that Mrs. Robinson was soldier life. Had it only been the Bochs colored soldiers had to fight against the would return to the states for the gie compass, but few instances, to admit, he has had to fight the Hun writes at the same time he was enduring and entailing attack from those whom he supposed were here to fight for the same reason here for the seas to the world democracy. Bt. with it all, the colored soldier is proud that he had an opportunity to explain prove that when the country loses loyalty any man may go sponognog, *sanction or boils* preparing for the overseas return. They are impatiently counting the days even the hours and moments, that must Stature of Liberty and patriotism, they can again see the before they can greet relatives and friends. Many of them who came chance on American troop ships in the Sufficiency of manhood and patriotism, where they will forever lie in a soldier's grave, rudely marked, upward in Verdon, Chetauche-Thierry, Soilsons, Champagne, in the Argentine woods and in the valley of the Andes, towards the American colored soldier; she--her men and women--has voiced her praise of their fighting qualities, of their soldiery, beating, and of their fautitures, of their perseverance, of their permanent residents of France, but they--those who have survived this awfully decimating, frightful war, are going to return to the states to help secure, through peaceful means, for themselves, their blood and their lives, helped to achieve on the battlefields for the alien countries over here."*DEMOCRACY* The 92nd division has orders to pre- pare for the invasion, to embark on embarkation, to move with them. RALPH W.

HOLY TEMPLE Published every Saturday at the Afro-American Building, 628 North Eutaw Street, Baltimore, Md., by the Afro-American Company of Baltimore City. J. H. Murphy, Manager. Annapolis, Maryland, spent the larger part of Christmas day without any prisoners in the local jail. For the first Christmas in a good many years the citizenry were so well behaved that the police might as well have gone home and spent the day playing with his children's Christmas toys, for all the work there was to do. City officials say that the lack of arrests was due o the banishment of rum, and that since prohibition came to the city, police and magistrates have had considerably less to do. Christmas, when they usually do their largest day's work of the year, Annapolis was without a single arrest until late in the afternoon. "Money may be the root of all evil, but rum is the source of most crimes." LET US HAVE THAT WHICH IS BEST It is noticed that many of the daily newspapers have been and are now using much space to show that those who are favoring prohibition are fanatics and are trespassing upon the liberties of the public. They speak of the large amount of money loss and the number of persons who will be thrown out of employment, but never a word of the large number of law transgressors, saying nothing of those made brutal by strong drink, the poverty and distress brought about by the sale of liquor. What is the loss of millions of dollars in property and revenue compared to the number of families that are brought to poverty and degradation by the saloon and liquor interests? Is one saloon worth more than one life? Thousands of families are made destitute every year to say nothing of the loss of time and the distress brought upon the community; the large and constantly increasing police force necessary; the jails, alms houses, orphanages, etc., to take care of the ravages brought on by the sale of spirituous liquors. And on top of all this is the constantly increasing takes forced upon the community to keep up these places, and all for the benefit of a new saloon keepers, brewers and liquor dealers. Is it not as bad to force liquor upon those who do not want it is to force temperance upon those who are protesting against it? Surely the better element, the law abiding element, has just as much right to be protected as the criminal element. The criminal element is a menace to the community, the law abiding element is a benefit to the community. Which ought we to have? LET US HAVE A HOUSE CLEANING AT HOME We believe Mr. Wilson was perfectly sincere in his proclamation against the evil of lynching, but a simple proclamation means nothing unless backed up by law or public opinion. The question arises, does the South believe Mr. Wilson's proclamation meant anything else but a sop to the colored people of the country in a trying time, when the morale of the colored troops were being affected by the continuous lynchings in the South? If it did it has not acted upon it. The recent lynchings in the South, in one place where four persons were lynchied, two of them women, and others, before and since, are simply indications that go to show that the southern white man has not taken Mr. Wilson seriously, and moreover, do not propose to do so. Just how America can sit at the peace table in France and demand indemnities for the outrages of the Huns upon the peoples of France and Belgium while lynching is still so prevalent in the United States, is more than we can see. It is largely like taking the mote out of our brothers eye while we are carrying a beam in our own eye. America should first purge herself from her own iniquities before she shall demand that iniquities in others should be punished, America is carrying a big burden on its own shoulders while helping some one else to get rid of theirs. We are perfectly willing to grant that Germany and her allies should get all that is coming to them in the way of punishment for their findish deeds committed during the four years of war, but we are not looking with a great deal of pleasure on America insisting on that punishment while conditions as they are in this country. There ought to be a house cleaning at home first. Lynching must be stopped. The law must be allowed to have full sway. Mob rule must go. This we will insist upon from now until the end with all the powers we possess. Nothing less will satisfy us. WHY TIMANUS? The name of E. Clay Timanus is bobbing up again as a candidate for the Mayoralty. It is to be hoped that the managers of the Republican Party will not forget eight years ago when he ran against the present Mayor Preston. At that time Mr. Preston was decidedly in bad with his party and had it not been that the Republican candidate showed his cloven foot just a week or two before the election he would have been elected, altho the colored voters had absolutely no faith in him whatever on account of his previous record on the race question. After he made the break nothing could have saved him. The smallness of the majority of Mayor Preston over Mr. Timanus, showed conclusively that the fight made on Mr. Timanus by the colored people at almost the very last moment was the means of his defeat. It has been said that the Democratic party learns nothing and forgets nothing. If the Republican party should nominate Mr. Timanus, it will look very much like it was in the same category with the Democrats, learning nothing, forgetting nothing. We hereby serve notice on the powers-that-be that if Mr. Timanus is nominated the colored vote will be against him, and this is as sure as two and two make four. The warning sign is: Owing to the large and constant increase in the business, both of the Newspaper and the Job Printing Departments, it has been decided to separate the several departments and put them under different heads. Commencing with January 1st, 1919 the following will be the arrangement of the several Departments: PROF. CARL J. MURPHY, formerly of Howard University, Department of Art and Science, as editor of the Afro-American. MR. D. ARNETT MURPHY is Business Manager, and in charge of Advertising Department. As a young man he will give the best attention to this department. MR. JOHN H. MURPHY, Jr., formerly of the Baltimore City Colored High School, will have charge of the management of the Book and Job Department. It is our intention to make this department a special feature, putting out only the highest class of work possible. turning out only the highest grade. MR. J. H. MURPHY, Sr., will, as formerly, continue as managing Editor of the paper and General Manager of the entire business. It is our hope, by this means, to give greater satisfaction in all departments and bring each and all of them up to the highest state of efficiency. Thanking our many patrons for their kindness and patronage during the past years and wishing one and all a Happy, New Year. We are grateful yours, THE APO-AMERICAN COMPANY THE FORUM PAYS RESPECTS TO PRESIDENT WILSON Our beloved brother from New Jersey was right when he asserted that "Wilson had in a large measure given the colored people consideration," with reference to war interest than any other president from Hayes to Taft. Yes, Mr. Editor, he is right, but he fails to make an exposition of the nature of the president's consideration. By reason of this fact it is well to assist Mr. Fortune to make himself more clearly understood. Bearing in the mind the president's "consideration" with all due respect to our beloved Mr. Fortune's conception of it we note the president's continued silence with regard to the great amount of good, the heroic deeds many of them achieved and accomplished by our boys "over there." And here Mr. Fortune the consideration with regard to the liberty bonds, War Savings and Thrift Stamps, the colored people have purchased, the President's "consideration" as effects the numerous campaigns put "over the top" successfully by the Afro-Americans has been nothing other than tomb silence. Wilson gave the colored people more consideration by returning home from France twenty-seven commissioned officers for no reason other than prejudice of the rankest kind. His silence with reference to this recent action cannot be termed as a consideration that has done any good to colored Americans. And again the deplorable number of flandish lynchings since the last speech of the President while he was in this country is another instance of his marvelous "consideration" he has given. Just a moment Mr. Fortune there is an irresistible something about these colored boys in France that make the French girls slick to them "closer than a brother." Why, simply for the reason there is that attraction in them that can be found in no other race of men. In this connection knowing that the President, broadminded, full of love and justice for men of Ethiopia, has given the colored people their latest brand new consideration seen in the person of Dr. Moton, who delegated under the camoufaged mission to lift or better the morale of the colored troops to go to France and stop the love making between the French girls and our boys as quickly as you would blow out the light of a candle, but as long as the world lasts Wilson or Moton will never succeed in this direction. Yes, Mr. Fortune you were right when you stated, "The President has in a large measure given the colored people larger consideration with reference to the war than any President from Hayes to Taft. J. FRANKLIN JOHNSON Baltimore, Md.

It is a hailing signal used by sailors, "A being the introduction and "Hoy" being the interception. I take this means of spelling your is the spelling of the word intentional or otherwise, and of calling it to the attention of your readers. Interested Reader. J. H. The last colored man to serve in the United States Congress. features, it has a labor bureau department, placed at the disposal of the Government first, as another evidence of twelve millions of colored people's loyalty and patriotism in the great cause for a world-wide democracy. Then it serves the public generally, the organization directs its energies to the teaching of morals, stability, good behaviour on public carriers and elsewhere, the opening of industrial doors now closed, and bringing about of feeling and better understanding between employers and employee. BETWEENEMPLOYEESANDEMPLOYEES W. W. Neal, corresponding secretary. December 21, 1918 At the last session of the Colored Congress delegates were elected to attend the World's Peace Conference at Versailles. These delegates are to plead the cause of the American Negro. Will Maryland do her part to help to send these delegates? Let us not have a pessimistic view as our daily organ, who asks that before a call is made on the poor and ignorant of our race for money the men and women selected should secure assurances from the state department that they can secure passports and will therefore be able to go to France. If the poor and ignorant of our race can contribute $47,000, to be handled by a white organization and expended by members of the white race with no other assurance asponses to him, there that $47,000 will be distributed, there is no reason why the poor and ignorant of our race cannot contribute $500 for the purpose of enriching and educating themselves, without first asking for an iron clad security as to whether it can be used or not. Never has the colored man had an opportunity to invest in a better paying proposition than to obtain proper representation at the world's peace conference. We will have a representative in Major Moton, the results of whose actions we will first see before we criticize. But if the American Negro is carried in the mind of Major Moton—this must be delivered from his lips—all of our race may as well get a pick and shovel and find some earth to dig; for that is as far as we will ever get. Let every member of our race do his or her bit and he will never regret the results of our efforts. H.L. BROTTEN, 1051 Argyle Ave., Balto., Md. "SHIP A'HOY" OR "SHIP O'HOY" To the Editor. This is not intended as a criticism of the splendid efforts of Mr. Louis Toomey and his band of entertainers, whom patrons have heard with great delight in Baltimore, Washington and Atlantic City. I do shudder however every time I pass one of the many posters of his new play that are scattered broadcast through the city when I see in large letters "Ship O'Hoy" for what I think is meant "Ship A'Hoy". The word "Ship A'Hoy" is the only word I find in Webster's new Dictionary. It is a hailing signal used by the audience to the introduction, and "Hoy" being the name. I take this means of asking you is the spelling of the word intentional or otherwise, and of calling it to the attention of your readers. From The Trenches THINKS OFTEN OF CHURCH Corporal George Hall, Battery B writes to his aunt, Mrs. Adams, 1702 Baker St., that he is well and hopes to see her real soon. He sends his regards to Rev. Murray and says that he will never forsake his church which he thinks about often. RECEIVED 13 LETTERS AT ONE TIME Mrs. Biddle, 1420 N. Mount St., has receive a letter from her son Grant E. Biddle, Jr., Supply Co. 351 Field Artillery, which he says that he has joined to his regiment after a 13 days leave to his two great surprises in store for him. (1) that the armistice had been signed; (2) that 13 letters from the states were awaiting him. ing. Gutt. Biddle says that it was indeed sad the w-y the French people weeped for joy at the ending of the great struggle. BATTERY D HAS NO CASUALTIES Sgt. John T. Lyons writes his sister, Miss Maria R. Lyons, 1334 Mount St. that he is very glad that she sent him several copies of the Afro as that was just what he wanted. He says that his whole Battery, Battery D. Field Artillery, remains in fact although the Huns did their best to destroy them. Sgt. Lyons says that he has had a wonderful experience in France where he will never regret nevertheless he does not desire a secrecy. France is a beautiful place. The houses are made of concrete and are built to remain hundreds of years. CAN LIGHT UP NOW Sergt. W. A. Burgess, Q. M. C. 92nd Division in a letter to Wiss. W. C. Mason, 1829 Druid Hill Ave. says that the people in America can hardly realize what the change means to hundreds of villages in the active sectors. Just think of years of all the cautions necessary in modern war one day and peace the next. No longer is it necessary to prevent all lights at night, nor be on the alert for air bombs, gas or shells. It is the first night after signing of the armistice was quite noticeable. It can look as looks as though this Christmas could again be a time when there will be, "Peace on earth, good will to men." The world can enjoy it more than any Christmas for several years even though millions will still be in the field." MUDDY FRANCE Miss Florida Sisco has received a letter from Corporal Edward H. Marshall Battery D $31 Field Artillery in which he says that, if the boys are in fine condition and trying their best to be a credit to themselves and to the race. The company was in the last drive and they gave the Boche just what they said they would give them before they left home. SOME TRIP—THREE MONTHS Sgt. George C. Stewart writes to Mr. William A. Taylor, 534 McMechen St. that he has seen a good bit of France. That Bernard Nelson is with him. He expects to start for the States in at least three months time. 351st START FOR POINT OF EMBARKATION The Editor of the 'Afro-American has received a French souvenir postal from Sgt. John R. Williams on which he says that his regiment has just received orders to pack up and avail orders to move to a post office expected to be hack in old U.S. A. before the New Year is many days old. Private Louis N. Bruce, Headquarters Co. 372nd infantry, writes to the Editor the Afro-American that he desires to thank the paper and its many readers for what it has done for the boys "over there." He says that the experience of war is perfectly wonderful. France is a beautiful place and the village, La Granges, in which his regiment is stationed is very ancient in its ways and customs. Wooden shoes are greatly worn and lanterns are used in the houses at night. Most of the wounded of our regiment have fully recovered and have returned to their various companies. The Germans are as glad as we that the conflict is over. The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month will long be remembered by the civilized world. BOYS DISTINGUISHED Private William E. Tilghman, Co. I 372 Infantry writes to Capt. Spencer of the old First Separate Co., that he is well and although he has been over the top he came back unhurt. He says that the boys of the old First Separate Company distinguished themselves in the great drive in September. HAD FINE CHRISTMAS Perhaps no Outfit in Camp Meade fared better on Christmas than the 16th Company, 4th Development Battalion. The Mess Hall was beautifully decorated with evergreen and holly. GERMANS CAME OVER Private Walter Maxfield writes to his mother, Mrs. Samuel Maxfield that he is well and hopes to join the family in the States soon. He is very glad the war is over; he was in the trenches when the armistice was signed. The Germans came over and talked with the boys, after peace was declared. RECEIVING LOTS OF MAIL Mrs. M. E. Wilson has received a letter from her son Franklin Wilson 349 Field Artillery in which he says that the morning that they were ordered to stop diving was one of the greatest times of their lives. About forty-eight hours after the armistice was signed the French Villagers began to come back to their homes. He is receiving mail from lots of girls which he will answer as soon as he gets the opportunity. He thinks that the boys are preparing to sail home soon. 251st FIELD ARTILLERY AT THE FRONT THREE WEEKS Mrs. Sarah L. Dorsey, 760 Vine St. received a letter from her son, Corporal Howard N. Dorsey, 351 Field Artillery dated November 24 in which says that his regiment is now awaiting transportation. Our boys did some great work on the front, they were there three weeks. He says that all of the boys are well as they had very few casuaries. Corporal Dorsey states that the town in which they are staying was once a beautiful place but now there is not a whole building standing. GLAD HE IS IN FRANCE. Private Charles Proctor writes from Camp Cheniere, France, to his father, Mr. Solomon Proctor, that he will be glad when the time comes for him to return to, America. He is having a fine time; the boys walk from two to three miles each night. Private Proctor saps that he is glad of the opportunity he had to go to France. He has seen many things and had many experiences. AFRO-AMERICAN ON Sgt. Rufus Pinkeyne, 372 Infantry writes to the Editor of the Afro-American that France is lit up once more and flags can be seen flowing from the windows of every house and shop. Our boys are treated fine; they are dining with some of the richest families in France. It is not an unusual sight to see a coot, a French girl and a French girl armed arms on a promanade. Sgt. Rufus Pinkeyne advises the girls in the states to keep the boys armed with letters that the time will not drag and they will have less time to write to the French girls. Sgt. Pinckney further says that the 372 Infantry has become very popular in France. A hill has been named for the regiment. The letter states that the Afro-American was the first Negro journalist on German soil as the writer carried it there in his pocket. HAS RECOVERED Private Norman Penn Co. I, 372 Infantry, in a letter to his mother, Mrs. Cassie Penn, 1204 Jefferson St., says that he has recovered from his recent illness. He sends regards to all of his friends and hopes to be home soon. GLAD-THAT FOLKS AT HOME ARE BEHIND THE BOYS Miss Frances L. Murphy has received a letter from Corporal John W. Armstead, a former student of the Teachers' Training School, in which he says that his regiment was on the front three weeks and during that time they saw real action. He was actually on the front twelve days and was fortunate enough to escape injury. At present his regiment is located in Morocco and while on way to this town he saw Marcelius Walker. Corporal Armstead is proud of the fact that the folks back home are behind the boys. WOUNDED OCTOBER 30. Private William Nelson Pikett. Headquarters Company 816. Somewhere in France, writes Mr. G. G. Cooper, 1415 Jefferson street, that he is well and playing the band and getting along fine but hopes to be homo soon. WONDER OCTOBER 30. Mrs. Martha Corbin, 1227 Jefferson street, has received word from the War Department that her husband, Private Eugene Corbin, Co. F. 368th Infantry was severely wounded on October 30th. Company "F" 372nd Infantry S. P. 175 France December 10, 1918 Received your letter a few days ago, and was delighted to hear from you. I had been wondering whether you had arrived home safe. The boys had quite an exciting time on the Champange Front, but as usual we made good; and the Huns will ever remember September 28, 1918. For the Baltimore boys sure did sturt their stuff. We lost our officers early by being wounded; so I carried the boys of the old 1st Separate Company over the Top. I was gassed, but not seriously, and I am glad to say that I am very well at this time. I hope the Flu epidemic has abated, and that the folks will be ready to welcome us home, as we will be there soon. We are expecting to arrive in the good old U. S. about the middle of January. All of the old boys send love and best wishes, and hope to pick you up soon after our arrival. Is Lieut. Farrer in Baltimore with you? Capt. Dunjill never did, write us. Sam-Banks has a temporary commission as a 2nd lieutenant. He is assigned to 370th old 8th ill. There is nothing new, everybody is anxious to get back home. Give my love to your family and the fellows in Baltimore. Hoping to be in the near future. I am as ever, your Pal Top. 1st St. William Creigler Co. *T* 372nd Inf. U. S. A. WAR DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON Dr. Ernest Lyon; 141 W. Hill St. Baltimore, Md. Dear Dr. Lyon: I have received a memorandum which has gone through all military channels reading as follows: "1. It was not deemed advisable by this office to enclose one of the wards as a sun parlor for colored patients as circumstances might arise whereby this ward could no longer be used by colored patients. "2. In letter from this office of July 25, 1918, to the Colored Division, Maryland Council of Defense, we suggested that these funds be turned over to the American Red Cross." Despite the above, however, I am addressing a letter to the Surgeon General, copy of which I bring to your attention. Please return this copy when you have made note of same. Small be glad to hear from you whenever it is convenient for you to write. Sincerely yours, EMMET J. SCOTT Special Assistant to the Secretary of War Hood County. In as much as we have been unable up to the present to construct the propo- sed sun parlor and in as much as the war is practically at an end, I am directed by the chairman of the Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense to notify the contribu- tors that it is requested that they write the undersigned as to whether they desire to have their contributions returned or have the fund directed to some other charitable enterprise.

We are too that it is better not to marry at all, then to marry under protest, and a marriage or convenience or compulsion is not to be thought of at all. But if you are unable to keep it, nor goodness can not oppose them or start marrying them one about the other, if you are sure to have the power or unassessable of seeing their marriage, suite of you, its opposition only strengthens their desire to do so very much you don't want them to do. thing you that was the way with Sheila that was the way with Sheila that was the way with Sheila Wheeler and private Dick Wheeler, his father's mother better, as she came in with his iron wrist and her neat beauty and lovingly embracing me and stamped his toes against so often that he accused it best to be her own her own way, when she was very sweet and easy way until she met private Wheeler and, so determined to be the decider to be about abuse. Wheeler was an officer's daughter, and no one knew better than she that it was wrong for her to have private Wheeler and not get it, and said to them, but he stamped his toes as usual, and he didn't like to but the poor report, and tell him not to can but as he was a liable young man for the fire he had to see why he had ambition enough to study or be a commission. Or course he was not told to know young Wheeler and at last he wisely gutt his eyes and refused to notice what was taking place so he called Wheeler, finding no visible content to the pursuit of his courtship continued to call more and more frequently on capricious little Sheila, although the coupon's wife and Aunt Lette were always present and it was hard to get a Aint Lette and mother were always knitting for the soldiers and Sheila didn't like knitting, so she decided to help with the entertaining and she would attend a concert one evening when Private Weller had nattered directly in front of the piano, when Sheila was playing for the Governor's was singing. Sheila looked closely into Weller's back ones and an electric flash passed between them that caused Sheila to almost forget her music and privacy to attend a business for a solicite to fall in love not when his country needs him, but how choices neither time nor place to shoot his little darts. A commitment is as good a place as a sheltered home to The next day sheila was out to see the review and Private Weller was so busy watching her that he nearly dropped his gun and made so many obludes that his captain was turned to the superior officers was trying to get him to a excellent training of his men. And when the order came for attention, he actually presented arms, which made sheila laugh, but got for him a severe remand later from his captain. You see the Captain sheila also said that he had made that one of his men should blunder so drastically, for he was more concerned as to what sheila would think than all the armies in the blued armies together. Luckily he was not aware to the cause of Private Weller's mistake or he was more angry than ever. It was had a deeper impact, after blundering permit brought sheila to insult in a vaguely disconcerting way. He had a quiet feeling that in her laugh there had been more of pleased amusement than of scorn and ridicule, and that the amusement had nothing to do with When therefore, he had permission to call one evening upon the coveted Sheila, and got his dates mixed and mixed with a friendly game of wolf of which Mrs. Morris and Aunt Linda formed one part and Private Walter and Wither the other. Not in the least disconcerted by the officer officer, the private urge to the occasion, also to his feet, and started to stir the fire when Captain Cherry entered, and after saluting respectfully withdraw through the fence. The Captain was puzzled for a moment then launched easily as he understood. "Ah, I didn't know the Colonel had taken on. Well he knows he more than I hope he does about drilling. But I'm afraid I've interrupted your game." "Oh, no, Captain, we were just wondering what we should do when you need the officer was just called out and we needed one to take his hand. Won you play?" And with a triumphant look at her mother which said, "There I've saved private Wither a week in the guard But the Captain was no fool, and being in love with Sheila himself, deter- mined to investigate, and investigating, the truth. New York, June 20—The pioneer advent of the Y. W. C. A. into Porto Rico has need a big success, according to Miss Dunn, who was the Blue Triangle secretary sent there last August to open a Y. W. C. A. Hostess House at San Juan, the capitol of the island. She Dunn has just returned to the old jobs before sailing for France, where states preparatory to rounding off a few she will do Blue Triangle work during the reconstruction period. She opened Camp Las Casas, five miles out of San Juan it was decided that a Y. W. C. A. was needed to care for the mothers and relatives of the boys in training there, and the staff of the headquarters. Miss Dunn who had lived in Porto Rico at one time and had been Hostess House director at Camp Ogletorre, Georgia, was sent to San Juan into the situation there. She arrived on August 11, 1918. On August 16 she had her plans made and workmen starting the building of the two Y. W. C. A. Hostess House now touring there, one for the boys in training, the other for the 26th of September she moved in and opened house to the boys and their visitors thereby, establishing a record for speed and efficiency and causing the masses The formal opening on Columbus Day, was thrupeed with visitors and men, sitting about in the cool, attractive room on the wide porches which look out upon the Atlantic. The houses are set in a room of palms, and are painted white, making a bit of homeile cheer for the men who are undergoing the monotone drill at camp. From the first the houses were a success, and marked the coming of the Y. W. C. A. to the island, since there had been no Blue Triangle work in Porto By Margaret Black determined it would never occur again. As a result the colonel came home when the next day looking as back as a thief came. "Look, her she is," began, "that young tool 'Wener can come here again. You all know it is against the fuses and major wood of one Zard Balatun. Was going about some other one, it is out and cold. I can't come again; it must be suppose, now, and she is, my dear, you must not see him again." "Very well, dad,," replied Sheila with a point. But Colonel and Mrs. Morris and Auntie were all very uneasy at she's reply. It was made too easily. They allow Sheila never gave up anything so much once set her in it, and an anguish pointed toward private Wener. There was too much of the colonel's merrymore and whenever she was sweet and plastic she was usually the most deterred, as they are now to their cost. But when a week passed and Sheila seemed to be going along as though she had never known it, private Wener they are But Sinclair was content because she was seeing Private Wiley every day. In fact she saw him that very night by a crowd of tourists just before the camp, with a minions of stars, and looked on as well as groaned truth. "Does Jones really count for so much in the army, Sinclair dear?" It was the first time he had called her that, but it came so naturally she was not aware of it. She showed that he had called her that in no heart constantly since he made the blunder at the review. "Yes, its everything," she answered. In fact it is the little god all worship. It is a commandment in the army, and more so in the army than in the Bible. Thou shalt have a commission or thou shalt be forever condemned to the guard house." She laughed. "No it really is not as bad as that, only one must learn that authority is everything in military life, and a colone commits a crime. You can be enjoined to certums a private in his house as an equal, no matter what his standing in civil life before he joined the ranks." "And would a commission give me the desired position to see you?" she said. "Then I will get one." "But they don't grow on trees," she reminded him. "No, but I have not studied Geometry and practical Trigonometry all my life for nothing. Besides—well, never mind besides. But I'll see you for a while Sheila (the teacher)." This was the last night Sheila expected to see Private Weller for a while. "Shelia," he was saying, "Listen dear, I'm not going into this unless it means you. I'm not crazy to be an officer. We can't all be, you know. I think a good, first-class officer, as an officer, is the Government as an officer, and I was too busy helping father at the office and so too badly needed there to enlist, but the draft took me. I could have been exempted but decided to fight. Captain Christy was one of our stenographers, and I was the training camp at Los Mojos for three months and got his commission. But if a commission means you and what you say it does, Shelia, there are still the regular army, examine it. No, Shelia, dear, it is up to you to enlist I, try Shelia. I love you, but if you say me may, I stare in the ranks." "I think I would try, Dick," she said, in the darker hours later Captain Dick Weller of the JST Engineers was ordered abroad. The winning of his commission and the order to sail came so close together that he had only time to drop Shelia a note. The work of the Engineers was hazardous, and in his way home to happiness and Shelia. As he lies on his cot thinking if Sheila he is wondering if she will be glued to see him. When she sees the invocation he is willing to stand by her promise. You see he has been seriously wounded and for weeks his life was in doubt. But he is almost well and three gold bars he is willing to stand by her promise did his purt. He did not do much writing about himself or anything else for that matter, as he had no time, Sheila wrote regularly once a week when he was recovering any malt. But what a treat when he could read six or seven letters at one time. But what Sheila would do when she saw him, was his wish now. A woman could not resist a malt, and no conducive to good looks, and then there were three fingers gone from one hand and he had been shot in the leg and still walked with a limp. Sheila would know if she was the same Sheila. "I'll not ask for any favors from her unless she proves true blue, as I am able to work for her." Sheila would be the window ill watch Rico heretofore. Volunteer workers from San Juan and neighboring towns, gave their services, to the 'House, and cards were sent among the men, the workers would do mending for the boys. An immediate and deluging response came in, and the needles flow pleasing together rents and even cutting down shirts that were large for the men, from the hills. Many of these men had never worn shoes, and they came to the Hostess House with tails of woe, after a camp hike, and were cheered with tea and cakes and American delicacies which made an instant appeal to the Porto Rican hostess. In the cafeteria caused much amusement, for the men and women of the island experienced an unknown innovation. Miss Dunn' thought of establishing Porto Rican dishes, protected by American dishwashers, upon having them. Rice and beans were served for those who preferred them but the number was small. "It was surprising," Miss Dunn stated "how quickly the Y. W. C. A. Hostess House became known, even parts of the island where they began their Sunday after we opened a telegram came from a little town many miles away, asking us to find a boy who had been reported ill and whom time. At the time of the influenza epidemic Miss Dunn offered a capability Hostess House to the other department, and it was very easily accepted. She was asked to keep the other house open, and it was the only one which remained open in the whole cunk." Miss Dunn has left a capable staff of Miss Dunn has left a capable staff of workers at the two houses and they will remain as long as men are in the train- OLD SONGS WITH NEW MEANING Events unheeded in the larger march of history, yet of extraordinary and moving significance, crowd one in these mad days of war. Speaking of the part music was playing in a friend, a friend recalled this incident: He lives in a quiet little town near the Atlantic Coast. Within a few miles is an entoument where soldiers from all over America are concentrated just before taking ship for France. There is, of course, careful military security, people known to the regiments slip the darkness to embark for the great adventure. ing the passers-by. Her thoughts are of Captain Dick. "It has been a long time since I heard of you, and then he was injured pretty badly." But how badly she did not know. "Why, on why can't people write sensible letters," Captain Chirry was home but he was in need of money. And he could about it he himself hoped he would never near of him again. He wanted Sheila to be his wife, and he was willing to do almost anything to win her. He knew with Captain Ether in the field, he would One night, however, the friend was wakened by the dull sound of marching feet along a dirt road. There was a cricket and now and then a whipwinner could be heard, above the rhythmic beat of hundreds of young feet. Then, rising very gently to a full horns a familiar song in tones > rich he knew it must be from a colorful "Don't worry, Shella" said Aunt Lett, as she turned on the lights; "no news is good news, and I am sure the Captain will turn up all right." "God be with you till we meet again by his counsel guide uphold you; With his sheep securely roid you; God be with you till we meet again." "But Aunty, tomorrow is New Years' day and most of the men of the past Engineers are at home, but no one seems to know anything about buck, or at least The song rose and fell and diet awe awed. He wandered through the amateur. He heard the crickets and the whippoorwill again, then from the camp beyond the town, soldier comrades, walk- ing through the city. "Well, child, many things can happen in the future," Dick Weller interrupted you'll have a happy New Year later. An hour later Captain Dick Weller interrupted game of whistle at the Collegiate. "God be with you till we meet again and you will be with us confound you His arms untailing round you. God be with you till we meet again." The incident so foreshadowed the anguish "Dick, oh Dick" cried Stella jumping up. —The Delincator "Sheila," cried the Captain, taking her in his arms. "You see Captain Christy. I've won my spurs and wear these bars with honor" touching the gold bars on his BABYHOOD Sheila was stroking them lovely, "Oh Dick," she said, "how good it is to see you again. When did you come? Why didn't you write? I could hardly hear the girl's voice. She was home but not hearing from you I thought you were not with it. And to think you came on New Year's Eve! And you hungry?

"I won my commission and fought for my country and you, dear, but now I'm a lawyer and I am also a buggered up. Are you sure you want to marry me, Sheila?" She nodded. And her eyes were wet with tears. "Sheila Morris is very, very smart." KINKY "So sure that you'll marry me tomorrow, won't you sheila deary you see me?" I asked.

ALLEN VICTORY AFTER A HARD STRUGGLE HARD STRUGGLE I was sick for days. As a white man it was natural for me to go to a doctor, but I had no doctors in Bainbridge. One said one thing and another said something else about my illness. I tried the hospitals. They did me no 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 my complaint no other physician had ever touched up on. He has treated me and made practically a new man out of me. I am now a street car conductor. Since then, he has cured my friend, four-year-old son, Harry who had convulsions, and could scarcely stand or walk.
