"All Men Colored Lads Display very and a Number Citations---Fifty-Se guished Ser BY RALPH W. TYLER Colored Lads Displayed Remarkable Bravery and a Number Receive Individual Citations--Fifty-Seven Win Distinguished Service Cross With the American Army in France, Marbach, December 8.—Ty command of General Martin, Commanding the 32nd Division. General Orders have just been issued commending a number of Colored officers non-comissioned officers and privates of the 36th Infantry for meritorious conduct in action at Bols Frchaut, near Pont-a-Mousson, November 10th and 11th, during the drive on Metz. Those named in this General Order were Capt. John H. Allen, First Lieutenants Leon F. Stewart, Frank L. Drye, Walter Lyons, David W. Harris, Beau, F. Ford, Second Lieutenants George L. Gaines, and Russell C. Aikins, Sergeants Richard W. White, John Simpson, Robert Townsend, Solomon D. Colston, Ransom Elliott and Charles Jackson; Corporals Thomas B. Coleman, Albert Taylor, Charles Reed and James Conley, and Private Earl Swanson, Jesse Cole, James Hill, Charles White and George Chaney. In the same General Orders the following were cited for bravery in action: Sergeant Issue Hill, bravery displayed at Frapelle; First Lieut. John B. Lindsey for bravery at Lesseux, both of the 36th Infantry, and First Lieut. Edward Bates of the 36th Ambulance Corps, and Sergeant Walter L. Gross of the 36th Infantry, for distinguished service near Honinville. In another General Order Second Lieutenant Nathan O. Goodloe, of the 368th Machine Gun Company, was commended for excellent work and meritorious conduct. During the course of the action it became necessary to reorganize the battalion and withdraw part of it to a secondary position. He carried out the movement under a continual machine gun fire from the enemy. General Martin said: "Lieut. Goodloe's calm courage at an example that inspired confidence in his men." (Lieut. Goodloe was a student at Howard University and left his courst unfinished to attend the training camp at Fort Des Moines, Ed.) General Martin, the new commander of the 92nd Division, also cited, for meritorious conduct near Vienne le Chateau, Tom Brown, a wagoner, who as driver of an ammunition wagon, displayed remarkable courage, goodness and devotion to duty under fire. Brown hauled his wagon, even after his horse had been hurled into a ditch by shells and dispute his own painful wounds, worked until he had exercised his horses from the ditch, refusing to quit until he had completed his work, even though covered with blood, from a painful wound. ENTIRE UNITS CTIED FOR The entire first battalion of the 367th (Buffalos) Infantry has just been cited for bravery, and awarded the Croix de Guerre, thus entitling every officer and man in the battalion to war this distinguished French decoration. This citation was made by the French Commission because of the splendid service and bravery shown by LIBERTY BOUGHT A The National Bo --- LIBERTY BONDS BOUGHT AND SOLD. Baltimore and St. Paul Sts.

The 1st Battalion was commanded by Major Charles L. Appleton, of New York, with company commanders and lieutenants, colored. 57 WIN D. S. C. In the 92nd Division, of the American Army, 14 colored officers and 43 colored enlisted men have been cited for bravery in action and awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. This is a splendid showing, and especially when it is considered that prior to the drive on to Metz, Sunday morning, Continued on Page Four DR. MOTON ADDRESSES Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 1—Dr. R. K. Moton, successor to Booker T. W. Washington, as principal of the Tuskegee Institute, was called upon to speak to the party of correspondents on the swimmer "Orizaba" while enroute to France. He said among other things that "the Negro is absolutely indispensable to any large Southern development, for we must remember that 10 per cent of the land tilled in the South is owned by Negroes, and that 70 per cent of all the agricultural products raised in the South is done by Negroes either as landowners themselves, or centers or croppers." He mentioned the fact that Alabama and Virginia had already enacted compulsory education laws, and predicted that others would follow. "The time has come," said Dr. Moton, "when the United States should give adequate financial aid in educating the children of the United States that business of the National Government should be to judiciously see to it by money and advice that every child is trained for citizenship. Only thus can America come to its highest development and only thus can democracy be really genuine and lasting. BOOKER T. JR. DRIVE OUT Son of Famous Leader Reported a Refugee in Ohio. Cleveland, Ohio. January 1.—It is reported that Booker T. Washington, Jr. of Tuskegee, son of the founder of the institution, is a refugee from mob violence somewhere in this state. According to rumors, which have not been confirmed, Booker Washington, Jr. was active in condemning the recent lynching in Alabama, and the white folks did not tug kindly to his public speeches in which he quoted the recent proclamation of President Wilson.

SERGEANT RUFUS PINCKNEY Somewhere in France, Dec. 3.—Writing from the French town of Grange especially for readers of the Afro-American, Sergeant Rufus Pinckney gives this week some little personal sketches of the local lads with the 372nd Infantry. Very naturally since the whole regiment has been cited three times for bravery, these lads are the pride of the French folk, who are either singing and praising us or our band. I have never seen it to fail. When our band starts up, old and young flock around to hear the good American airs. The boys are pulling off some good drilling. You won't know them. They always were there with the goods, but now they have the goods and then some. Wait until you see them hit Drill Dulah Avenue. I am afraid the avenue will have to be made a little wider in front of the AFRO-AMERICAN Building so that we can make that turn right. CREIGLER SENDS GREETINGS Creigler Creigler, top sergeant of company I, the old First Separate Company, sends his regards to the folks and wants them to know that he has followed Dr. Lyon's inunction of "coming back with honors, or reporting to God the reason why." Sergeant Creigler used to play the baritone horn in Perkins Sq. Church, but more recently he has earned fame in blowing shells at the Germans. More than this the sergeant is talking French like a native. Corporal Thomas H. Chatman, 417 Orchard Street is now company clerk, and one of the boys that the girls here like to dance with. Sergeant Wm. J. Crediti is another of those native Frenchmen to judge by his speech. He is the supply sergeant. Charlie Jones, so well known locally, is very much in love with France, but I expect to bring him home with me. PROMOTED TO SERGEANT MAJOR Corporal Julius Blackwell is one of the men that everybody takes his hat off to as a good and faithful comrade. His home is at 1713 McCullough street. Samuel B. Webster, of 1509 Fairmont avenue has been promoted to sergeant major for sticking to his post under heavy fire. His bravery in action sent him up the ladder. A Diggs is cooking for the Major, and "shell shy" Spencer is helping him. We call him "shell shy" because he said he did not trust those German shells, which have no special place to fall. By hugging the dug-out, he thou to be able to help Diggs cook more biscuit. Continued on Page Four. Three Thousand Extra Papers Sold Last Week in Short time —Two Hours From News to Newspaper— Larger Paper in February. A short time after word reached the editorial rooms that the First Separate Company, the boys of the First Separate Battalion of Washington, and the 9th Ohio colored troops had been cited for valor, and that the whole 372nd Regiment was awarded the French War Cross, the matter was put into type. The big press that was printing the regular issue of the paper at the rapid rate of 3000 per hour was stopped and the new matter inserted. This necessitated the changing around of articles already on the front page, and the account of the death of Ex-Senator George White had to be left out altogether. Once arranged, the press was started again however, and the extra copies came whirling out one after the other and into the arms of waiting newsies, who carried the message of Baltimore's glory into every part of the city. This is only another indication of the up-to-date machinery of Maryland's biggest and best colored newspaper. The news of the "Snubbing of Madame Walker's Daughter" did not reach the Afro-American until ten o'clock Thursday morning, yet by one o'clock, Mrs. Robinson in Washington had been interviewed, several local persons present had given their version of the affair and the article ready to go to press by one o'clock. The despatch from Sergeant Pinkney reached the office at two o'clock Friday, two hours and a half afterwards the people of Baltimore were reading it in their extra papers. Daily newspapers do not beat this, and the "Afro" is able to "bring" its readers this high class service because it is the best equipped colored newspaper in the world. Some of the largest and best edited weeklies in the country and even the "World's Largest Weekly" are edited by colored people but put in type, and printed by white printing firms. The "Crisis" in New York puts thousands of dollars each year into the pockets of white printers. "Everything from typewriter to printed newspaper is done in our own building" is the slogan of the Afro-American and the Head of the composing room promises the readers of the "Afro" an eight column paper by February 1st. This is the first step, and then watch out for ten pages. HEAR YE!! "No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong." —Theodore Roosevelt. Boys of the Old First Separate Company who have along with the whole Regiment been cited. Employers in Ohio Not Allowed to Discriminate on Account of Race—Color or non Union Status. Washington, Jan. 7.—Charles E. Hall, Supervisor of Negro Economics for Ohio, in a carefully prepared report to Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics, says that the Negro wage-earners of Ohio are faring well in the industrial readjustment and labor change due to suspension of war operations in Europe. Mr. Hall's report is based on his own first-hand knowledge and work, and information obtained through the State and County Negro Workers Advisory Committees from every section of Ohio where there are any numbers of Negro workers. It shows that only three counties of the state have any extensive unemployment. One of these probably will soon take care of its workers since many of its large factories are rapidly changing over from war to peace work. Conditions in another of these counties, in which Cincinnati is situated are not likely to change soon, due to the fact that Cincinnati, as a gateway connecting the South and North, has had for several years a surplus of unemployed Negroes. The outlook in the third county is not very promising and yet the flood protection project there will be able to use large numbers of Negro workmen for whom houses are available. EMPLOYEES MUST BE NEUTRAL Much of the success in Ohio is due to the hearty cooperation of the Associate Director of the Employment Service for Ohio, Mr. C. H. Mayhaugh, who several times sent out from his office the following statement: "This office finds it necessary again to call the attention of Superintendents and Clerks of the various Employment Offices in Ohio to the fact that all cases are to be handled strictly from a neutral stand-point, that color, religion, politics, union or non-union issues are not to be entered into, and all must be treated with the same degree of consideration. Superintendents are expected again to instruct members of their force regarding this matter so that no unfavorable reports will reach this office in the future." One of the best known of Theodore Roosevelt's addresses was made at a Lincoln dinner in New York in 1905. It made more friends for him among colored people than any other utterance. The then president began with the memorable words or Lincoln, "with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in." Secretary of State Taft and Police Commission McAdoo were members of the party.—The dinner held at the Waldorf Astoria was the largest ever held in New York. EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW Neither I nor any other man can say that any given way of approaching the race problem presents in our time even an approximately perfect solution, but we can safely say that there can never be such solution at all unless we approached it with the effort to do fair and equal justice among all men, and to demand from them in return just and fair treatment for others. Our efforts should be to secure to each man, whatever his color, equality of opportunity, equality of treatment before the law. As a people striving to shape our actions in accordance with the great law of righteousness we can not afford to take part in the different to the oppression or mal treatment of any man who against crushing disadvantages, has by his own industry, energy, self-respect and preserverce struggled upward to a position which would entitle him to the respect of his fellows, if his skin were of a different hue. Every generous impulse in us revolts at the thought of thrusting down instead of helping up such a man. To deny any man the fair treatment granted to others no better than he is to commit a wrong upon him—a wrong sure to react in a long run upon those guilty of such denial. THE ONLY SAFE PRINCIPLE The only safe principle upon which Americans can act is that of "all men up," not that of "some men down." If in any community the level of intelligence, morality and thrift among the colored men can be raised, it is humanly speaking, sure that the level among the whites will be raised to an even higher degree, and it is no less sure that the debasement of the blacks will in the end carry with it an attendant debasement of the whites. The problem is so to adjust the relations between two races of different ethnic type that the rights of neither be abridged nor jeopardized; that the backward race be trained so that it may enter into the possession of true freedom, while the forward race is enabled to preserve unharmed the high civilization wrought out by its forefathers. The working out of this problem must necessarily be slow; it is not possible in offhand fashion to obtain or to confer the priceless boons of freedom industrial efficiency, political capacity and domestic morality. Nor is it only necessary to train the colored man; it is quite as necessary to train the colored man; it is quite as necessary to train the white man, for on his shoulders rests a well-nigh unparalleled sociological responsibility. FOES TO ONE'S OWN RACE Every vicious venal or ignorant colored man is an even greater foe to his own race than to the community as a whole. The colored man's self-respect entitles him to that share in the political work of the country which is warranted by his individual ability and integrity and the position he has won for himself. But the prime requisite of the race is moral and industrial upifting. Laziness and shiftlessness, these, and above all, vice and criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to the black race than all aces of oppression of white men put to gather. The colored man who falls to condemn crime in another colored man, who fails to co-operate in all lawful ways in bringing colored criminals to justice, is the worst enemy of his own people, as well as an enemy to all people. Law-abiding black men should, for sake of their race, be foremost in rebellion and unceasing warfare against lawbreaking black men. If the standard of private morality and industrial efficiency can be raised high enough among the black race, than its future on this continent is secure. The stability and purity of the home is vital to the welfare of the black race, as it is to the welfare of every race. THE WHITE MAN MUST HELP In the next place the white man, who if only he is willing, can help the colored man more than all other white men put together, is the white man who is his neighbor, North and South. Each of us must do his whole duty without flinching, and if that duty is national it must be done in accordance with the principles above laid down. But in endeavoring each to be his brother's keeper it is wise to remember that each can normally do most for the brother who is his immediate neighbor. If we are sincere friends to the Negro let us each in his own locality show it by his actions therein, and let its such show also by upholding the hands of the white man in whatever locality, who is striving to do justice to the poor and the helpless, to be a shield to those whose need for such a shield is great. COLORED R.O.T.C. ESTABLISHED Wilberforce, Ohio, Dec. 29.—An announcement was received here from the War Department this week indicates that a permanent Reserve Officers Training Corps has been authorized for Wilberforce University. Lt. Percival Piper now commandant of the S. A. T. C. will possibly be delegated to direct the work. The establishment of the R. O. T. C. at Wilberforce means that students will receive training, board, lodging and clothing free, and following graduation will automatically become reserve officers of the United States Army. One summer month in the year they will take part in manouvers and will receive officer's pay. Howard University in Washington has also been offered the opportunity to train reserve officers. Atlanta University has been given a permanent vocational camp for soldiers and civilians. NEGRO ARTILLERY HELPED WIS FORESTEED PAPERAG (Paris Edition N.Y. Herald.) Nancy, Friday.—The appearance of the band of the 550th Field Artillery Regiment in Nancy for a concert was the first notice here that the only brigade of Negro artillery ever organized had been defending Nancy by holding the Machache sector, south of Metz. This organization, the 167th Field Artillery Brigade, came up behind the line about a month before the end of hostilities. It was so eager to get into the fray that the men drew some of their guns into position by hand. The brigade participated in the taking of the Forest de Frehaut. It was the accurate fire of the Negro artillery which reduced the resistance and enabled the infantry to capture the position without grat loss. 8600 WORTH OF WHAT If Charles Crompton had hired the auto-colored man to bring his $600 infantry into Washington, might not have happened. But he hired a white man and his car, and when they got in the neighborhood of Eliscott City, needed assistance with a blockade of begged a ride and later mauled him considerably with sold weapon. It is not known what there is in this city worth $600 that Mr. Crompton wants to buy. At Saturday it is a dead chuck he will pick his company coming next time.

Murphy, Manager. --- THEODORE ROOSEVELT In the contest for the presidency in 1904 for the term 1905 to 1909, Theodore Roosevelt received the largest popular vote ever accorded a candidate. for the presidency in 1904. Mr. Roosevelt received the large candidate. Education from Harvard College conferred upon him honor, and this was strangely enough in Western United States, a lecturer before learned to lead, the ex-President was own President Wilson by the end from member of state legislature to president was held first popularized the office of is are a few evidences of popular citizen but the reason on the part of the American policy of "all men up" and in sincerely, and he made that he failed to carry on Democrats made an issue dining with the press encounters for the re-election apologizing or excusing his claim to a remarkable degree with the common people. Using to appoint colored teenagers two years, but colored persons colored visitors at time and how the latch string skegge where he was the guarward University where he had, he uttered the memorandum even." When Mr. Roosevelt was washed forward to grasp his head, pointed in receiving a head cups, and at his bedside a friend and personal bodyguard opening of the Liberty Loan that Mr. Amos, never let him." "It was the principle Roosevelt cavalry who saved him at San Jose. He knew many of the regiments of colored troops at the division he hoped to retrace. Coronel Young was to lead President Wilson refused to grant President married a native by southern views on the re-raised them. As a big, energy American, Mr. Roosevelt negroes as no president since selected him president in 1933. I treed otherwise. All Americans black and white to resolve to keep the illuminate. I AND SIMPLE ANNALS C Since his graduation from Harvard College in 1880, thirteen universities conferred upon him honor degrees, and the last university to do this was strangely enough the University of Berlin in 1910. As an explorer in Western United States, South America, and Africa, and a lecturer before learned societies in this country and abroad, the ex-President was shown little less honor than is shown President Wilson by the crowned heads of Europe today. Every office from member of state legislature thru the cabinet and vice-presidency to president was held with dissection by the man who first popularized the office of chief executive or this nation. These things are a few evidences of the popularity of America's most popular citizen but the reason for this high regard and affection on the part of the American people is not hard to find. His declared policy of "all men up" and not "some men down," he believed in sincerely, and he made no promises to voters as candidate that he failed to carry out when elected. When the Southern Democrats made an issue of the late Dr. Booker I. Washington dining with the president in order to hurt Roosevelt's chances for the re-election, Mr. Roosevelt stood pat without apologizing or excusing his action. Simple and plain to a remarkable degree Mr. Roosevelt made common cause with the common people. He was severely criticised for refusing to appoint colored federal once holders for more than two years, but colored people remembered most how he received colored visitors at the White ouse, whenever they came and how the latch string was always out for them. At Tuskegee where he was the guest of Dr. Washington and at Howard University where he was the guest of President Thurkield, he uttered the memorable words, "I am with you more than ever." On all occasions when Mr. Roosevelt visited Baltimore, colored citizens rushed forward to grasp his hand, and none of them were dissappointed in receiving a hearty grasp. With him on all his trips, and at his bedside at his death was James Amos, his friend and personal bodyguard. On his last visit here at the opening of the Liberty Loan Campaign, it was noticed especially that Mr. Amos, never let Mr. Roosevelt get out of his sight. "All men up" was the principle Roosevelt lived. The men of the 10th Cavalry who saved him at San Juan Hall held a big place in his heart. He knew many of them personally. He wanted two regiments of colored troops for service in France along with the division he hoped to raise at the beginning of the war. Colonel Young was to lead one of these regiments, but President Wilson refused to grant his request. The late ex-President married a native Georgia woman, but if she had any southern views on the race question, her husband never shared them. As a big, energetic, plain living, plain speaking, honest American, Mr. Roosevelt won the hearts of the American Negroes as no president since Lincoln. Their votes would have elected him president in 1920 as in 1904, but the tates have decreed otherwise. At his bier, all Americans black and white can unite to honor a friend, and to resolve to keep the memory green of one who strove to illuminate "THE SHORT AND SIMPLE ANNALS OF THE POOR" THE LAST HUNDRED American had the honor and hundred dollars to complete to our newly dedicated Y.

The Afro-American had the honor and the privilege of giving the last hundred dollars to complete the $25,000 quota of local citizens for our newly dedicated Y. M. C. A. building. This honor and real privilege were shared by Mr. Walter Langley who matched the "Afro's" hundred with a hundred or his own, and by many other citizens and organizations who gave $800 more, so that the last hundred dollars in fact became the last thousand dollars. Those present at the meeting Monday night saw the "Y" go over the top and emerge with every brick in the present structure paid 10r. There was reason for the applause that greeted the final announcement of this fact, cause that has an added and particular significance for the reason, that OF ALL THE Y. M. C. A. BUILDINGS SO FAR ERECTED IN WASHINGTON, PHILADELPHIA, CHICAGO, INDIANAPOLIS, KANSAS CITY AND CINCINNATTI, BALTIMORE IS THE ONLY CITY THAT HAS DEDICATED ITS "Y" WITH ITS ORIGINAL QUOTA PAID.

Wright, who worked with the 301st Stevedore Regiment in France, stated last week before the Twentieth Century Club of Boston: "We had a colored regiment, most of whose line officers were from the South, and the result was that confidence men should have in their officers was lacking in completeness." His own regiment, the Stevedores, he continued were made up of college men, sons of professional men etc., who worked without hope of promotion or winning war crosses, also knowing that the boys at the front could not win glory if they stopped. Amid their trials their favorite song was "Keep Sweet," and by keeping sweet the victory was won for the American army. If it were not for the innate cheerful disposition of the colored people, they would now be as scarce as the American Indians, from fighting the white people or grieving themselves to death. "Keeping sweet" was a job in France, and it is a job here. A good many white newspapers are finding time between ynchings to comment upon what they term the folly of turning over Africa to its own black people and to the enlightened black people of this hemisphere for government. It seems to be a rather peculiar weekness of white peoples that they regard their own world status as inevitable and that of other races as problematical. How soon they forget. A JUST Few CENTURIES AGO, JULIUS CAESAR, STANDING ON THE PINNACLE OF ROMAN CIVILIZATION, REMARKED THAT THE ANGLO-SAXONS, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE INHABITANTS OF ENGLAND, WHERE MOST WHITE AMERICANS CAME FROM, WERE TO STUPID TO MAKE GOOD SLAVES, AND FURTHER-MORE, HE DOUBTED IF THEY EVER WOULD.

November 19th, this division, with the exception of the 368th Infantry, had been in no big engagement. Up until November the 19th with the exception of the 368th which got into action in the Argonne, the 92nd had to content itself with making daily and nightly raids on the German front line trenches to capture prisoners. This, however, required daring and courage, and, in some ways, was more trying and more dangerous than being in a total of 51 clauses for mercurious service, with report from one brigade not yet in, is a splendid showing for the 92nd Division. 92d HAS COMPANATIVELY SMALL CANADIAN LIST The total casualties suffered by the 92nd (colored Division since being in France have just been obtained by me. The Division suffered a total of 1475 casualties. Among the killed were six officers, and one officer died from wounds received in action, while 31 enlisted men died from wounds. 40 enlisted men died from diseases; 28 enlisted men were listed as "missing," 16 officers and 543 enlisted men were wounded; and 39 officers and 661 enlisted men were gunned. The division's number of gunned is unusually large, perhaps, that the soldiers in the front line trenches of this division were unusually daring in making raids into the enemy's territory. Considering, especially, the desperate advance the injured soldiers of this division made out from Pont-auxisson the morning of November 10 through a valley swept by the heavy German guns of Metz, andness of German machino guns, the casualty is slight; for on the morning I saw them make the advance, and knowing the dangerous ground they were to cover to make their objective, it appeared miraculous that the division was not wiped out. The casualty in that advance was, perhaps, as light as it was because of the rapidity with which their line advanced. Officers could not hold them back, and the German guns and soldiers could not stop them. They plunged on to Preny and Pugny, and they rushed into the Bols Frehaut, and held, for 36 hours, after they took it, this place from which picked Morrocean and Senegale troops were forced to retreat in ten minutes after they had entered it. Occupying this Bols Frehaut for 36 hours against a murderous fire from the enemy, remaining there until hostilities ceased, it is surprising—a miracle, that the casualty list of the 92nd Division did not mount to many times 1478. WHEN ROOSEVELT RILED THE SOUTH Invitation of Booker T. Washington to Dine stirred Crackers and Awoke Prominent Voices in His Defence. The first and only colored man to dine at the White House upon invitation of the President of the United States was Booker T. Washington, and Theodore Roosevelt was the man who braved southern public opinion to do it. Mr. Washington's account of the incident, taken from the Afro-American of October 26, 1901, tells of his invitation to the White House to give the President information relative to certain people and sections that he possessed. The conference lasted into the President's lunch hour, and without a oat, Mr. Roosevelt asked the educator to lunch with him. Neither of the men had any idea what a bomb they cast into the social equality notions of the South. While the Southern press rallied at the example of the chief executive dining with a "migger," men like Bishop Potter (white) of New York, said in effect "Booker T. Washington dined with me, and he is tite to dine at any table." Senator William E. Mason on the same subject said "Booker T. is a greater man than Harvard College ever graduated,"—meaning that Booker Washington was greater than Theodore Roosevelt, therefore worthy of eating with him. The Georgia Baptists poured this hot shot into the riled Southerners: "The increase of mutuates in the South is a stronger and more convincing tale of social equality than any action of President Roosevelt." CTY WILL EXTEND BIG WELCOME TO NEGRO SOLDIERS The 360th Infantry formerly the old Fifteenth regiment of New York, is expected to arrive in New York in the next few weeks. The Mayor's Committee of Welcome to homecoming troops, as well as organizations of Negro men and women, are arranging for a reception to the men that will outwelcome anything but homosexuals. It is said that the Negro soldiers were the first of the Allies to reach the Khine. The entire regiment has been decorated for bravery under fire and its flag carries the citation awarded it by General G. Lebouche, the commander of the French Division of which the 369 Infantry was a part. SAVED BY A DREAM A dream saved the life of Private William Gahce, former middle champion boxer of Camp Meade. Gahce is a member of Company M, 363th Infantry. The introduction of his company to shell fire was dramatic. As they advanced to the front, on October 10, "Big Bertha" hit simultaneously each side of the road, the concussion knocking down the entire company, killing and wounding several. From then on for several days we were under almost continuous shell fire from the enemy. "We had been relieved," says Gahce and were so tired that we could have slept on the ground. It was toward morning when I woke with a start and something told me to put on my helmet, which I was using for a pillow. I had just donned my helmet when a crash came that blew me out of doors. The Huns found our position and a Roche shell had hit within 20 yards of our barracks. If I hadn't been told in that dream to move my helmet, I'd have been buncked too." In the colored detachment with Gabe, stationed at Camp Dix in the Overseas Convalescent Development Detachment, are wounded survivors of the 370th, formerly the 8th Illinois; the 369th, formerly the 15th New York; the 372d, composed of batalions from Washington, D. C., Ohio, Massachusetts and Maryland; the 371s, of the National Army, all of the 93d Division, and the 368th of the 92d Division. ConditionI—Miller—I know that hat would please your husband.

The reason I mention these two boys is, that in the thickest of the Champagne drive, with shells falling all around the kitchen, he was the only cook to give the boys hot biscuits. Shells burst and tore up a good bit of earth, but the hot biscuits were there. GAVE THE COOK TROUBLE Spencer was the fastest man in the company in hitting the trail for the dugout under bombardment. He seemed to know just where the shells were going to land before they left the guns. But that is not saying much, for I have the range of Digg's dugout pretty well myself and he never turns anybody away hungry. Everyone in the city knows Bugler Brown, who is the oldest bugler in the regiment. He still has trouble walking, but when the band starts playing he gets over his difficulty at once. Sergeant Thompson is the new top sergeant in the Headquarters Company. I wanted his picture to send to the Afro-American, but he was too bashful.

His company went into the trenches on June 4 and they have had nothing else but trenches since; they fought in both the west and east Argonne Sectors. They went over the top in the big drive of September, succeeded in capturing few towns and drove the boat back several miles. The 372 Infantry was on the Lorraine front when the news of the signing of the Aristocratic reached them. Private Hopkins says that his friends need not be surprised if he is in the states real soon. PRAYERS SAVED HIM Private Stephen M. Glasser, 36918 Infantry writes to his sister, Miss Matilda P. Glasser that he is well and very glad that the war is over.

REAL POETRY The Editor of the Afro-American has received a poem from William M. Henderson entitled "A Stevederode Leaving For France" and one from Roland White Co. D 5215 Engineers, entitled "Above the Battle." Both of the poems do great credit to the composers, but were too long for publication. IN THE TRENCHES POPULAR Sergeant Milton Q. Dorsley, Ordnance Sergeant, 349th F. A. writes to the editor of the Afro-American "I received your letter and also the papers sent weekly. Fortunately, the papers have created the proper spirit in the boys of my Department. "From where I am, we are popular with them. Then to the race problems of the South have caused much interest. Enclosed you will find a true copy of the report of Major-General Ballou, just before he was relieved from the Division. Hope to be able to grasp your hand within the next month. HOME FOR HIM In reference to Sergt. Oliver Brown's, of Company B. 333d Labor Battalion, letter published in your paper Friday, November 1, 1918, in which it was stated that the French people are treating the color-troopers so nicely that some of us don't want to come home: I. Sergt. Frank D. Warren of Co. 333d Labor Battalion, formerly Corporal of the First Separate Company National Guard, State of Maryland, but you are our warrior, although we are being treated fine by the French people—we are anxious to get home with our own mothers, wives and sweethearts. Co. E. 333d Labor Battalion "I thought it was to be full moon; tonight." "Perhaps, but the government at town hall is reduced portion now"—L. Fole-Marie (Latich). IN ACTION EXPLOIT That the Negro soldiers have distinguished themselves in the war was by Lilianmont Fleming Board of Enquiry. first intuitively. "I sad thousands of Nergoes in action and there were no braver men than the dusky heroes of the Ninety-third Division. Little information has reached this country about the cavalier fighting of the Negroes. They just ate up the Germans." just lie up to me. Quite a few of the soldiers will return with the Croix de Guerre and other decorations of bravery. HOW THE NEGROES BEAT THE FOE Survivors of the fighting on the western front, who have been invalidated home to Camp DIX, N. J. have nothing but praise for the Negro troopers. The Negroes were, perhaps, the most efficient bayonet fighters in the American Army. Their natural ability improved by intensive training made them troops to be feared at close quarters. Not even liquid fire could break the morale of the colored troops. The terror of sharpup, gas, and his explosives, the grim life of the trenches, were made bearable by the untailing food nature of the Negroes. They would sing even when awaiting orders to go over the top. That the Hun feared the colored soldier can be seen from the statement of one of the soldiers, who says, "The Hun would stand out there and pump a machine gun at us—750 shots a minute, but when we come up close to him he would yell 'Kamerad!' and hold up his hands." This was -democracy's war. The Negro troops assumed the burden of democracy along with the white and red troops. They did their share to keep America unchained, and they are all proud that they did it. They are sure too, that America will not forget. OLD E S A FOR HIM Private Robert Miles, Battery B 351st Field Artillery writes to his cousin, Mr. William Davis, 340 Bruce St. that he is well and wishes that he could see the beautiful country of France. France is a fine country but old U. S. A. for mine. A LETTER FROM FRANCE Mrs. Serena Gunn, 1141 Woodyear street, just received a letter from his son, Private James C. Tongue, Co. K 371 Infantry 229, France. He is well and expects to be home soon. He wishes to be remembered to all his friends. WOUNDED IN DRIVE Word was received by Mrs. Mary J. Hill, Mt. Winans, from her brother, Top Sergeant James E. Patterson, that left Camp Meade for France last June with the 368th Infantry Co. G., was wounded twice. First on August 4th and September 27th. He says he is now feeling himself again and wishes to be remembered to all Afro readers; also washing them a happy New Year. PROMOTED TO SERGEANT PROMOTED TO SCHOOL Sergt. Arthur Bush, 417 Labor Reserve Battalion, Camp Meade writes to the editor of the Afro-American that he is sick in the Base Hospital. He has been made Sergt. of his company of 250 men. The men are doing nicely only it is a little lonesome for the boys down here. Sergt. Bush is a member of Trinity Church and sends his regards to members of his church, Sunday School and also to Ecthel Church and Sunday School. He hopes to be home soon. --- TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT Dead— That grand, majestic power. In our most needed hour, Dead?

CIRCLE COUNTRY D. 312 L. B. 1621 Calhoun street. Sergeant, Corporal C. Major, 367th Infantry. Publication of Annual Report of Hospital Creates Stir in Capital City. Washington, D. C. Jan. 1—Patients to the number of 3,648 were treated at Freedman's Hospital during the past year. 1717 of these were from the District of Columbia. Dr. W. A. Warfield is surgeon in chief. The number of operations performed was 1913, of which there were 1412 recoveries, 395 improved, 10 unimproved and 96 died. Total receipts during the year were $114,543.35. Of this amount $11,455 was from pay patients, $35,000 from the District of Columbia by contract, $5,458 urgent deficiency appropriation and $68,800 appropriation under the sundry civil act. The disbursements were $113,454.71 leaving an unexpended balance of $1,088.94. The principal items of disbursement were Salaries, $32,181; substance, $31,334; and miscellaneous, $32,74. UNFEAVORABLE COMMENTS. Publication of the annual report and especially the item of a balance of $1,085 created a stir in Washington during the week. The poor fare and lack of milk even for pay patients led many people to expect that the hospital was short of funds. On the other hand the fact that the Hospital management had funds in hand, and still dealt with such issues with such a sparing hand has caused a deal of unfavorable comment. WOUNDED AT FORT M'HENRY WOUNDED AT FORT M'HENRY Soldiers of Several Regiments Tell Thrilling Stories of Exqloits on Fields of France. That the colored boys of the American Expeditionary Forces have done their part both in gaining victory and in making democracy a fixture in this world was told by the wounded of the 369th Infantry, 808 Pioneer Infantry, 370th Infantry, 367th Infantry and the 368th Infantry, which won the hearts of Baltimore while in training at Camp Meade. All of these men are invalided back to this country and are in the General Hospital No. 2, Fort McHenry. Private James Dorsoy of the 368th Infantry was wounded in the shrapnel and left shoulder by a machine gun, tells a very interesting and thrilling story of the entrance of the 368th Infantry into the great drive of September 28. "Both the 3rd and 2nd Battalions of the regiment had been taken to the front," says Private Dorsey, "when the call was sent back for reinforcement. Then my battalion, which was the first Battalion, was sent to the front. The battle was raging. The boche knew well our position and they were firing on them with our machine guns. I was wounded in the shoulder by their guns at the beginning of the ray. While upon the ground 1 still held my gun and got two or three of the boche as they ran across me in pursuit of our men. Our men were retreating and Clarence Thomas of Washington ran to me and attempted to carry me away to a place of safety and was wounded in the leg, and I in turn was wounded again in the leg. The resting man and leave me. I laid on the edge of the trench from 4 o'clock until 8. "It was dark I thought that perhaps I could drag myself to a place of safety. At first I crawled on my knees and then I thought that I could make more time walking and while stepping steadily in the dark I struck a twig; this made a cracking noise and the bobie again opened fire on me. I fell upon the ground and escaped their bullets. When the firing had ceased I continued my way slowly, being weak from the loss of Frenchmen. I gave the signal and they came to my aid. I was sent to a base hospital and later sent back to the states." The stories of Private Walter Cole, 369th Infantry who was wounded in the head, arm and leg; Robert Duda, $88 Pioneer Infantry wounded in the arm and ankle; James Spencer, 374 Infantry wounded in lip and hand; and Norman Cobbs, -367 Infantry suffering from a fractured bone, like the others doing with the achievements of the Negro soldier were bond in their praise of his bravery and exploits. COLORED PEOPLE Philadelphia, Pa., January 2.—Substituting a liberation celebration of their usual gathering on Emancipation Day, colored people representing 200 organizations crowded the Academy last night. William Pickens of Baltimore was the principal speaker. He said, that the white people were surprised at the gallantry of the black troops in the war simply because they had been vastly more ignorant of the black man than the black man had been of them. "It was nonnousse," he said, to say that the black man, looked upon as the most undesirable element in the country in 1914, by 1918 has come to be recognized as the most reliable by some great change in his character. There has been no great change in character at all. It has been merely that the character of the black race had been in a false light before the war. "Why," he declared, "it takes more courage for a black man to live than it does for a white to die. The Negro soldiers merely demonstrated in the war what men who have lived before have to live, and lives could do when they got a fair chance. Look over the men in a lynching mob and you won't find one brave man, unlucky." IN THE SOCIAL WHIRL RY SOCIETY EDITOR The festival spirit possessed Baltimore this Christmas and it is the consensus of opinion that this was the greatest Christmas Baltimoreans have experienced for some years. We had in our midst a number of most interesting visitors. Probably foremost, Rev. Dr. Cassell, a noted scholar and president of the Liberian College. A gentleman of the highest type, inmate in person, chessfieldier in man and possessing a wealthy vocabulary of the purist English. He $^4$ was entertained and feted as behooved so distinguished a celebrity, Monstere Lockhard, the little Frenchman who is instructor at Howard University. Captain Purnell of the S. A. T. C. Dr. Harry Turner, a very successful young physician of Boston. Of the fairer sex there were Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, who was in the $^4$ city in connection with the Y. M. C. A. dedication. Mrs. Nelson is very popular here and her many friends welcomed her with open arms. She remains all of her charm and queenly bearing. Miss Tate, a young lady from North Carolina, was the house guest of Dr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Wright, the cause of much entertaining. Miss Josephine Erdford, the daughter of a former Baltimore and interiting much of her mother's charm and beauty was also greatly admired and entertained. Society is very much disappointed in not having the pleasure of seeing Miss Blossom Lewis of New York City. She was scheduled to have been the house guest of her cousin, Mrs. Chissell, but was prevented from so doing by the hidden illness of her father. The Fortnightly Whist Club danced gave the folks an opportunity to see and appreciate the new hall. The Lyceum. It is a splendid hall and well adapted for such affairs. As usual this was a very nice affair. The guests were chiefly of the married set with a sprinkling of the younger girls. The Colonial dance on Monday, December 30, was a huge success in New York and New York and so splendidly engineered the affair. The music was splendid, the crowd a most congenial one and "all went merry as a wooding bell." The older married element were conspicuous by their absence and it was truly a young folks' party. There were about 125 guests which included a number of out-of-town folks. New Years Eve, Mrs. Lucia Butter entertained very informally but delightfully at her home. Mrs. Floyd Watts was also hostess the same evening to a few of her New Year's Day, despite the inclement weather, a large contingent of society was attracted to the New Y. M. C. A. The Ladies Auxiliary was in charge of the program. Miss Battle Tilly was in home to in friends from 4 to 6 Y. M. during which time a large number of them called. The Five Hundred entertained a number of their friends at the Elk's Hall New Year's night. In the early part of the evening the party gave every evidence of being one, if not the most enjoyable one of the season; but the unpleasantness arising from the unexpected arrival of a party of Washingtonians threw something of a damper on the other guests. It is so unlike Baltimoreans to be other than hospitable and not able to adapt themselves to an unseen emergency that one couldn't properly appreciate the club being so handicapped. If, however, the action of the members of the club was due to a feeling that the unbidden guests were not the proper persons to grace so brilliant an assemblage, we can only condone with them that they haven't fully assimilated the spirit of those lines which are as follows: In men whom men condemn as ill I find so much of goodness still In men whom men pronounce divine I find so much of sin a blot, I hesitate to draw a line between the two where God has not. The same evening Miss Alice Urban, who is now making her home in Philadelphia, was the honor guest at a dance given by some of her friends including the Misses Cludys Henderson, Gladys Holland and Rosa Brown. A affair was held at the residence of Mrs. and Mrs. Short and was very enjoyable. Friday night the "Orchid Club" gave an impromptu dance at the home of one of its members, Miss Muttie White, of West Biddle St. Only a few additional friends were asked. The dances at the Service Club have been very largely attended. The presence of the Baltimore boys seemingly being a drawing card. Mrs. J. Logan Jenkins was hostess at a perfectly appointed ten Sunday, March 16. Mrs. D. Frank Scott was "at home" to a number of her many friends the same afternoon. In the evening the Misses Hughes of 12 E. Centre St. entertained at a delightful musicale. SOLDIERS ENTERTAINED The Royal Oak Club of which Miss Rachel Patterson is president, Miss Mary G. H. Hirsch, president, Mrs. Robert K. Johnson, secretary; Mrs. Helen Wilson, treasurer, gave a Christmas dinner to twelve soldiers at the residence of Mrs. Hirsch on Friday, December 27, 1918.

Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the natural solution of an application made is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstreet or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

A suggestion has come to the Afro-American that it print from week to week pictures of babies born since their fathers left America for overseas service. To be frank, the "Afro" was not aware that there is any large number of young mothers with children that their husbands have never seen. Maybe there are quite a few, and to find out how many there are and to introduce them to our gentle readers, the Woman's Column announces that it will be glad to publish the photos of brand new babies, who have never seen their daddies. Not altogether now, but trot your photos out and let the "Afro" send Father what he will regard as a real treat, and what baby will prize later in life as one of his best souvenirs of the war. CIRLS DRILL LIKE SOLDIERS Katy, the stammering song, is a great favorite, as well as Keep the Home Fires Burning, and Good-bye Broadway. Hello, France. The old Howard songs, however, are not forgotten, and the girls march proudly to Banners Now Are Warring and Fight for Old Howard. The boys, have a song Howard University Soldierette Tells of Military Training for Gentler Sex-Give up Cream Puffs and Campus Gossip for Hard Fare and Study. How the girls at Howard University in Washington drill just like the boys, go on long marches, and in other ways conduct themselves like real soldiers is told by Miss Jennie Musainpa who is a member of the senior class. When the government started the boys to drilling, the girls caught the boys and pretty soon turned out a number of companies that compared apparently with the male military. Speaking of the experiment, Miss Musainpa says: In the first place, the exercise has improved enormously the health and appearance of the girls. The dreaded girl has failed to make its appearance in the Hall, and the girls as a whole are strong and sturdy. It is questionable if there is a college to land that can boast of a more robust or wide-waist set of girls than the shorter tall girls, since they have been taking military training. It has increased her carriage. Round shoes have been squared; slouch-dresses have been replaced by brisk dresses and cums no longer rest on heels, but heels are held up proudly. There was a time when the period of greatest activity of the Hall girl was just after "lights out," when "spreads" and "talk-fests" held full sway. But now the "spreads" with their indigestible pickles and ice cream cheese and cake, and those midnight conversations," in which "that I said," and "what he said" pre-ominated—harmful pastimes as they were—have become躲客 in the hall. The girl has been able to be drilled and then drilled hard in the open air, welcomes sleep when night comes, fords a girl the Campus gossip has hot off its churn, and the soldier's has satisfied her increased appetite for more than cream puffs were left to stay her hunger. In instructing the various military movements, the girls have had surprising success. They have been given the same drill as the boys, and in some instances have actually surpassed the boys. At first, there was difficulty in instructing the girls that in standing at attention, one must keep one's hands at the side, and not make these movements towards the head, which are so dear to the femininity of the girls that difficulty in standing rapidly thru sensual and company movements until they reached a point where they could have officers of their own. Two companies were formed, and each put in charge of a first segment from its own master. This wise move has helped the girls to progress even more rapidly, since there is great distinction between A Company and B Company. The first day that the Girls' Battalion passed in review was a memorable day for them. They felt even prouder when the reviewing officer told them that they had held a better line than some of the boys' companies. The girls are now writing for their uniforms so that they may look as trim and smart as the boys in regimental review. "Hiking" is a favorite pastime of the girl soldiers. Their instructors have taken them on many long marches where they have complained at walking five blocks now like cheerfully six or eight miles. Following the habit of the boys, the girls sing as they march, and people seek to the doors and windows as the girls march by, singing out at the top of their lungs. K-K-K BUST DEVELOPMENT If any lady was asked the question: "Would you like to be beautiful the answer would be "Yes." But any woman to be beautiful must possess a well developed bust. How many times has this question been asked by women and growing girls. What can you do to develop the bust? There are humiliating women who were deficient in this respect, but who have been able to attain perfectly developed bust by working with a skilled artist in building up the bust to its proper proportion. The remedy which is universally used and has established a wide reputation for this purpose is LD SAGE CREAM. (B-D means Bust Developers.) This cream is readily absorbed by the issues, rubs in dry and builds up the parts to their proper proportions. It is scientifically compounded for developing the busk. It can also be used to build up the neck of a dress. If you want a plump, full, beautiful bust of real, firm flesh why begin the use of BD MASSAGE CREAM at once don't wait, the wax will fill up the surprizes of the resultobtained fromuse of the first jar of CREAM PRICE 50c and $1.00 per JAR.

Enclosed stamp or reply. Address, STAR DRUG CO., Baltimore, Md. BEFORE USING By Margaret Black Katy, the stumming song, is a great favorite, as well as Keep the Home Fires Burning, and Good-bye Broadway, Hello, France. The old Howard songs, however, are not forgotten, and the girls march proudly to Banners Now Are Waving and Fight for Old Howard. The boys have a song the girls are singing to the tune of John Brown's Body; "All we do is sign the pay roll, All we do is sign the pay roll, All we do is sign the pay roll, And we don't get a dog-gone cent." The girls have taken over the song with the exception of the last line, in which they have substituted the more literary adjective "blooming" for the horrid turbificent of "cent." After all, the girls are being well paid. They are not only getting practice in drilling, but are also receiving instruction in the theoretical side of war. Lecture periods take up an hour each day. Th girls have studied the Psychology of the War and have heard of medical warfare. Wear Gas Masks, Liquid Fire, How the Machine Gun Works, and How to Use a Gun. The Girl's Battalion is a pronounced success. HOME-MADE CELERY SALT When using celery save the leaves and dry them until crisp. Then crush them to a powder and mix with an equal amount of salt. This makes as good a celery salt as that you buy. EMBROIDERY HOOPS AS SWEATER HANGERS Buy as many hoops as you have sweaters and print the name of each person who has need of one on it. When they remove their sweater it is easy to draw it thru the hoop and it will not get out of shape and is easy to hang away in a wardrobe or closer. BAKED APPLES Wash and core apples as many as needed and then place in muffin tins and add two tablespoons of maple syrup (if you have it) if not corn syrup will do. one tablespoon of water, one-quarter teaspoonful of nutmeg to each apple. Bake in a moderately until the apples are tender and then cool to serve. Lift the apple into a small platter and cover, with a fruit meringue and then sprinkle with coconut. Meringue—One-half glass of apple or current jelly, white of one egg. Beat until the mixture will hold its shape. BABY'S NAPKIN To keep baby's unappetite from forming an uncomfortable hunch under his chin, the t a knot in one corner and slip it into the neck of his dress. This will hold it nicely and it can be spread out flat over the chest. TO PREVENT A FOUNTAIN PEN LEAKING If your fountain pen leaks, dip a tooth-pick in white vase and wipe it over the threads before screwing the parts together. KEEPING ONE'S SAMPLES IN ORDER When making out your shopping list, use the face of an envelope. Slip your sample of laces, ribbons or whatever sample of material you have in the envelope and your samples will not be lost nor scattered thru your shopping bag. APPLE TAPIOCA Four apples, 1 teaspoon of butter or butter substitute, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, one-fourth cup of granulated tapioca, one-half teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons sugar, Wash, press and cut the apples in halves; brush bake dish with 1 teaspoon butter, put in apples cut side down and bake minutes or until tender. Wash the tapioca, add sugar and cups boiling water, which is added the salt; boil until clear and smooth; add sugar and flavoring with one teaspoon grated lemon rind; pour over the apples and bake 20 minutes. BAKED ONIONS Peel medium sized onions, boil about fifteen minutes and drain: Put them in a buttered baking dish, add salt and pepper and enough beef stock to baste them. Bake until soft. A THREE DOLLARS PER DAY A woman recently recovered from the Flu and just able to get about again came into the Afro-American office and bought twenty papers week before last. Last week she got a boy to help her and sold 75 on last Friday and Saturday. This meant $1.50 for the two days work, and indicates that anybody with a little energy can earn more money selling the Afro-American two or three days in the week than they can earn in a factory working the whole week. EMBROIDERING NAPKINS OR HANDKERCHIEFS Take four handkerchiefs and sew the four corners to be embroidered to together temporarily. The four corners can then be put in the frame and the hoops be firmly placed over them, obviating the difficulty otherwise en- countered in trying to bind just one corner at a time in the frames. CHASE NEWS Chase, Mr. Jun, 11—Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Johnson had as their guests Rev. and Mrs. Winston, Mr. and Mrs. John Fennel and Mrs. Jones, Mrs. John Fennel, who visited Friends in Baltimore last week.

West Street, Indianapolis, Ind. 640 N. West Street VICTORY AFTER A HARD STRUGGLE I was sick for years, as a white man it was natural for me to go to white doctors. And I went to the best in Baltimore. One said one thing and another said something rise about my illness. I tried the hospitals. They did me no good, and I grew worse all the time. A friend he had cured recommined me to try to E. Campbell and Nerve Specialist 1499 North Carey Street. At first he 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 no other physician had ever touched upon. 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 walk. No more spurs and is running about. The doctors are delighted and think Dr. Campbell is one out of hundreds. He has done me wonders, and I am not afraid to tell it. THOMAS A WEHN.
