WHite Gunn Down Thei How white artillerymen fell down in time of need and how our boys of the 349th came to their rescue is told in a letter from Sergeant Milton Q. Dorsey to the Afro-American. Dorsey writes: Somewhere in France — The infantry outfits on the front early in August and were soon under the dreaded shell fire of the trained Hun. Everything seemed to progress satisfactorily until the division was moved to the Argonne Forest to fortify the fortified Marbache Sector, which was the gate to Meet. The strong-hold of Alsace-Lorraine. Then came the arranging of the relative position of the Division. We all the outfits we received except the Field Artillery Brigade (167th) composed of two light artilleries (349th and 350th), one heavy artillery (351st) one French Mortar Battery (317). The latter was attended by the Courteous French Artillery. As the positions had to be filled and the 167th Field Artillery Brigade had not completed its instruction, a white artillery brigade (136th F.A.) was put in its place. Activities proceeded no further. The French Artillery was ordered. It was that the 368th became furious and dashed 12 kilometers ahead of its objective. All this time, the 368th Infantry was supported by an artillery fire. As a matter of fact, the infantry 14 hours before it received the same. Therefore it was not long before the regiment was between the shell fire of the Huns and the creeping barrage of its own supporting artillery. Consequently on end, many men were cut down. On the following day when a similar order came out, the commands refused to be supported by the white Artillery Brigade.

DO Tennessee Minister Denies News- paper Reports. Columbia, S. C., Feb. 1 — Speaking before the A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting here last week, Rev. J. C. Robinson of Chattanooga, Tenn., gave his hearers a vivid picture of the lynching or the coloured man at Sheffield, Alabama, when he was there recently. Among other things he said "I have been widely published that Booker T. Washington's son was run away from there because he condemned this. It is not so. I was at Sheffield. I made a speece condemnation lynching and nobody bothered me and nobody ran Booker T. Washington Jr. away from Alabama. I condemned lynching." Booker T. Washington returned to his home after fleeing into Ohio for refuge. Subsequent reports show that following warning, from friends he again set out and his whereabouts are not known. and a howl went up from the colored Brigade, which was still at LaCourtine. It was not long before the air was burning with the news of the event. The non-combatant Field Artillery were called together by their dauntless leader, Col. Dan L. Moore, in order to give their opinion of the matter. It was unanimously agreed to go to the front immediately and to take over the artillery positions, which so ineffective and inoperative. In the next four days we had reached the Marbache Sector, took over the positions and shot 140 rounds of a sweeping barrage. Butterles D and E of which Sergeant LeCompte and Sergeant Lefebvre, the more high School, are instrument sergeants, annihilated an entire division of German Infantry, which had recently occupied a little town in the Lorraine Sector. From the time the 349th Artillery arrived, the order to order fire came on November 11th at 10:45 o'clock, the Infantry not only received the barrage when it wanted it, but also趴ison cooperation in the advanced trenches. In this cooperation the 349th Infantry played the role of the first to get into position until many days afterward. The 349th. Field Artillery is known in the Brigade and the Division as the "crack and spotted regiment."

NO PACIFICISTS AMONG NEGROES Washington, January 29.—Out of the names of 62 prominent men and women that have been placed upon the Senate records as engaged in movements which did not help the United States when it was fighting Germany and Austria, not one colored man or woman as included. The names of more than 100 persons were submitted by Archibald E. Thompson, of the Military Intelligence Bureau, to the Senate Committee that is investigating German propaganda. The list which includes radicals and pacifists, was finally pruned down to sixy-two. Prominent in the amended list is the names of such champions of equal rights for the race as Jane Addams, Oswald Garrison Villard, and William W. with the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; John Haynes Holmes, L. Collingsworth Wood, a leading spirit in the work of the Urban Conditions Among Negroes, and Eugene V. Debs, whose appeal against conviction for alleged obstructing of the Selective Draft Act, was argued in the United States Supreme Court. A sample of the memoranda that became a part of the Senate records is indicated in the naming of Oswald Garrison Villard, formerly publisher of the New York Times. It reads: "Oswald Garrison Villard, born in Germany; editor of The Nation; American Neutral Conference Committee; American Union Against the Land Armament; Fellowship of Reconciliation, Interested in National Civil Liberties Bureau." POURS HOT SHOT INTO PROF. OWENS Armstrong Says People Are Outraged by Article E of Montgomery County Supervisor I In Teachers' Magazine.@ Calls Upon Leaders to Speak. Contention of Mr. A. D. Owens, supervisor of schools in Montgomery County that colored people are spending their energies for social equality that ought to be spun in attaining "social efficiency" brought forth an open letter from James F. Armstrong, supervisor of schools in Prince Georges county, who handles Mr. Owens without gloves. The article stated that stirred the horrors that appeared in the first issue of the Maryland Teachers Year Book for Colored Schools which is just of the press, and which is gotten under the direction of the Superintendent of Education for the State. M. Bates Stevens. In the course of his letter Mr. Armstrong is upon leaders of schools遭入 the state not to let such statements go unchallenged, which in his opinion do not represent The open letter follows: "This open letter certain convictions which I have, as one interested in my career, now raising about Mr. A. D. Owens' article in the first issue of *Colored Teachers*. I attribute to Mr. Owens, all good intentions and this work. This work is not a personal attack upon any man but a desire to do the best he can to support this article. This article is headed 'Social Efficacy Against Socialism' concerning this people and mine that they clamor for social equality while social efficiencies are being spent on spending their energies to attain." I deny in belief of my people that they are clamoring for attention to the fact that every intelligent Negro in the L. before Mr. Owens has taken particular pains to make sure that they are clamoring for NO SUCH THING. Mr. Washington went out of his way time and again to see we all know that this is the shibboleth of a few Negro haters of certain sections in the state and we are not proud of a helpless Negro that has been spurned on by this belief: that Negro men have been burned at the stake and are punished because of a belief in this statement, and it is simply appalling, simply disgustful and last in an official document, issued by the State Board of Education of the State of Missouri. Mr. Editor, as champion of our race, we call upon you to give this statement as wide a denial of the facts of our race as the facts of the leaders of our people in this state have not protested. Is Dr. Goodloe of the State Normal School sleepy and not interested in Mr. Owens? What of Prof. Mason A. Hawkinson? What of Prof. John W. Brunner? What of colored schools? want to know in behalf of my people if they support this attitude, their teachers, their students, last before placed at the bar of American opinion and there is no need for Negro supervisors and teachers. But most of our people are outraged that the Negro leaders of the state are permitting this statement, and we want to deny it and to say that in my judgment it does not represent the truth.

EMANCIPATION "WE GO FORWARD OR DIE", SAY TROOPS WHO KNOW NO FEAR New York Feb 3.—According and cried: Truth is proper and beautiful at all times and in all places, and it is never more proper and beautiful in any case than when speaking of a great, public man whose exquisite pity is likely to be required for honor and long after his departure to the solemn shades—distant continents of eternity. It must be admitted, truth compels me to admit, even here in the presence, of the monument, we have erected to his memory. Abraham Lincoln was not, in the sense of the word, our man or our interests, in his interests, associations, in his habits of thought, and in his prejudices, he was a white man. He was pre-eminently the white man's President, entirely devoted to the welfare of the white man. He was ready and willing time during the years of his life to deny, postpone, and sacrifice the rights of humanity in the colored people to promote the welfare of the white people of this country. In all his education and feeling he was an American of the American came to the white people alone, namely, opposition to the extension of slavery. His arguments in furtherance of this policy had their mo- New York, Feb. 3.—According to the story of Sergeant John Jamison of the old 15th New York, now the 369th Regiment, their colonel defied the orders of his superior general in making an attack using words that have since become famous. Colonel Haywood said "My men never retire, they go forward, or they die." "It was in the fighting of June 5th" said Jamison. "Previous to this we had fought through several battles, but this day we were fighting with the French, with whom we were brigaded. We came up to the German front lines and there we met the heaviest attack, which was a counterattack, to our advance. "Colonel Hayward tore off the 'eagles' of his army, grasped a knife, a dagger, and darted out ahead of the rest of Company K. We went through a barrage of German artillery that was poured down upon us. A French General ordered us to retire. Colonel Hayward, who, of course, was under direct command of this French General, said: "I will not understand you." "Then the French General raised his arms, above his head tive and maltipsping in his patriotic devotion to the interests of his own race. To protect, to protect and perpetuate slaves in the States where he was not less ready than any other President to draw the sword of the nation. He was ready to execute all the supposed constitutional guaranty of United States system in favor of any system system anywhere inside of the slave States. He was willing to pursue, recapture, and send back the fugitive slave to his master, and to suppress rising for them. We were already in arms against the Government. The race to which we belong was not the special object of his consideration. Knowing this, you, my friend, flow citizenize, a sentence in this worship at once full and supreme. First, midst, and last, you and yours were the objects of his deepest inflection and his most earnest solicitude. We are in the hands of Abraham Lincoln.

They can run." go forward, or they die." Private James Carter of South Wilmington, Ill., Ninety-seventh Company, sixth Indiana have made a description of the storming of Bourches on June 6 in a final attempt to take the town after nine days fighting. "There were 250 men in the company under command of Captain Donnald Duncan when we started that morning," he said hour after hour. The German burgess, Captain Duncan was killed. Lieutenant Robinson took command. We faced a position so dangerous because of cross fire that we could go no further. "Those who want to go that can go, but order them headquartered. Captain Duncan go back when ever we wish. Any man that wants to go back, may do so with full honor," said Lieutenant Robinson to his men. "The answer was: "We never go back." Seventeen of the Ninety-sexth company came out of this fight alone. GOVERNOR DISCOURAGES A.M.E. MINISTERS Says He Is Convinced of Snowden's Guilt. Condemned Man in Death Cell. Moved When Sentence Is Read t oHim. In addition to the statement of Governor Harrington to Dr. Diggs Committee last week, in which he said that he regarded it as the "greatest misfortune that could possibly happen to the colored people to complain about the white Snowden," further evidence of the fact that the Governor thinks colored people are satisfied to see John Snowden hang is contained in a letter sent to the A. M. E. Ministers' Meeting. The ministers, thru Governor Harrington for the first time, received the following letter in reply. The letter and reply were read at the weekly meeting last Monday morning. Roy C. H. Murray. Ick C. H. H. already given two heurts to representatives of the colored race, one to a body of ministers, and the other a mixed body, of which Dr. J. R. L. Diggs was chairman. I shall be pleased to give you the heurts if you desire it. I want to say to you however, that none of those present at these two hearings had any further request to make in regard to Snowden, after hearing the facts in the case. I have gone over the results more fully in order to self-identify with every phase of the case, and I should be delighted to hear any information, which any of you gentlemen may have. I have gone over the case with the counsel for the defenses, and I was able to say to gentlemen in advance, that I presume you would ask for leniency in regard to Snowden on the ground of doubt as to his guilt. There is no doubt as to his guilt and it is the most completely proved and you will say so too, after you hear the case, just as all the colored people who have come to me in reference to it will now say. Upon the receipt of this information, you still desire a hearing. I shall be very glad to give it to you. BERSON C. HARRINGTON CONFERENCES WITH BRADY Reference in the Governor's letter to his conference with the counsel for the defense, brings to light the fact that Mr. Brady, counsel for Snowden, must have asked for a meeting with the chief executive, in order to ask for a commute in order to ask him to look, many friends of Snowden say, like there is nothing to be expected from Governor Hurrington unless he can become convinced that he is acting in the face of united public sentiment in okeying the hanging Snowden. Several persons pointed out that the only way to convince the Governor that public sentiment is against hanging Snowden is for thousands of persons through the state to send in petitions asking that the sentence we changed to be changed to be members of the Committee, which wont to the Governor with Dr. Diggs, disclosed the fact that Dr. Diggs in leaving the office said to the Governor in effect, "We thank you for this interview, you have given us some information we did not have before, so that we could be entirely mistaken in saying that he changed the opinions of the Committee or that they withdrew their petition.

Dr. Moton Made No Special Address for Colored Only Abroad. French Thanked Him For Colored Troops. Talked withfOfficers rom Pershing Down. Tuskeguee, Alabama, Feb. 4—What Dr. R. M. Moton told colored soldiers in France is best learned from his address before the recent Farmers' Conference that met here. Dr. Moton said he only told the boys what any other sensible man would have told any soldiers of any group. Dr. Robert R. Moton, who was asked by President Wilson and Secretary Baker to go to France two months ago to visit them, told them what ever message he thought best, was given a most enthusiastic ovation upon his return to Tuskeguee. Dr. Moton said: "There have been some 250,000 Negro soldiers in France and I have seen thousands of them, but I have never told them to me as he pointed out a group of forty-eight graves of colored soldiers: 'I do not know how much about democracy they understand, but to me no braver soldiers ever faced them than men whose remains lie here. These men gave their lives—all they had—for humanity, and I believe that America's going to accord them—those who go back, a fuller measure of citizenship than they have ever received, at least I think it ought to do." "After I had spoken to a couple of thousand troops two 'French women' I came up to me to the me for what I had said. One of those peasants shaking it with both hands, said: 'I want to thank American, especially the colored soldiers, for what they have done to free us. Our hearts go out to them as they return to beautiful America', and then, pointing to a little cowboy beyond, she added, "and those who are going to say with us." "I talked with many officers, from General Pershing down, and everywhere I got the same story of bravery of the Negro soldiers—men who have reflected great credit on themselves, their race, and their faith." "What did I say to the troops? I told them that America is more ready to receive them than ever before. I cautioned them how they should carry themselves in the war. I told them that they must get jobs quickly and become useful at home. I said that America was more ready than it had ever been to accord them an equal chance. I added that they could hasten the coming of human justice through the war. I told them just what any sensible man would tell soldiers or any other important group." Camp Parole, Md. February 3. —Mt. Olive A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. J. D. Banks is minister unfurried a service flag of 53 stars last night. One of them was for Alfred Welch, who died in service.

According to a letter dated January 5 from the Personnel Sergeant, John R. Williams, 351st Field Artillery, to the Editor of the Afro-American; the 92nd Division is slowly moving back to the States. It is the apparent policy of the government to return the colored combatant forces first; the reason is obvious. "It may interest you to know that the 92nd Division is slowly but surely (we hope) returning to the good old U. S. A. We were quite amused, several days ago, when we see an account of the news, the United States which stated that we were going to spend Christmas at home. While you were probably eating turkey at home on Christmas day we were traveling from the front in cold box cars, enjoying our "corn-willie" and hard-bread almonds from Turkey and cumberberry sauce. Today finds us still many miles from home, in what is known to us as the Les Mans "Dolosung" area. It took us three days to get here from our old homes on the front (in Lorraine) and it will take days more to get here, the port which we shall eventually embark. Everyone is taking life easy except we poor mortals who are connected with statistical departments; these are strenuous days for us since all official reports must be submitted of the Division leave the country. "Have just learned that the 93rd Division will, in all probability be sent home first. It is also the apparent policy of the government to return the colored combat forces home when the war is over, obvious to you, you'll probably better appreciate it when I call your attention to the fact that we are inland mingling with the civilians and the association mutual. We get along splendidly and no trouble has occurred. We are confident as saying, 'They (meaning the colored soldiers) will forget their place when they get back home.'" ANNAPOLIS CHURCH NEARLY FREE Annapolis, Md., February 2—When Rev. J. A. Briscoe, pastor of M.

Mr. Scott was a member of the American Commission that visited Liberia in the early days of the Taft administration and is keenly interested in affairs there.

Gone but not forgotten dear father; And never shall you he; It was hard indeed to part with thee But God's strong arm supported me. O the memory of that day When I knew that he was dead My heart was crushed with sorrow And many tears I shed. I tried hard to save him Prayers and tears were all in vain God called him home it was his will But in my heart I love him still.

The New York News quotes the Stars and Stripes, a newspaper published in France for American soldiers to the effect that Dr. Moton in his several addresses to colored men urged them to be "modest and unassuming" on their return to this country. Sergeant Rufus Pinckney, special correspondent for the Afro-American remarked in another column last week that Dr. Moton told his regiment, the 372nd, "how to act when they got back home." It appears that the government fears our boys in France will get an idea of what real democracy is in France, and will come home prepared to teach Southern Crackers a lesson. Other evidences are not lacking to indicate that army officials are doing all they can to keep the French country folk from treating the soldiers as their equals, for fear that colored soldiers live, sleep and eat with white skinned people long enough, they will realize that they are no different from themselves. Personei Sergean John R. Williams of the 551st Field Artillery writes to the Afro-American that it is the apparent policy of the government to send the colored combatant forces home first. He says that the reason is obvious and home folks will appreciate it when they understand that the 551st is in central France, "mibing with the civilians, and the association is mutual." He adds this word, "We are getting alqa splendidly, and no trouble has occurred. One higher white officer is quoted as saying, THEY'LL FORGET THEIR PLACE WHEN THEY GET BACK HOME." The "TIBY" refers to the colored soldiers. Recently Private M. Clark of the 358th, who lost a leg in France, and is now at the hospital at Fort Mellencoy, told an Afro-American reporter how the French made so much over his own regiment that the Major commanding issued an order, that NO COLORED SOLDIER WAS TO BE SEEN TALKING TO THE FRENCH PEOPLE, MALE OR FEMALE. Since the colored soldiers at this time were quartered at the homes of the French town people, it was hard to enforce this order so that the Major ordered the troops out into the suburbs, and forced them TO LIVE IN TENTS, WHERE FORMERLY THEY WERE COMFORTABLE IN FRENCH HOUSES. These are some BLACK CHAPTERS IN THE AMERICAN ARMY IN 1915 FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY, but the beautiful thing about it is, THAT THE FRENCH PEOPLE TRIED JUST AS HARD TO MINGLE WITH COLORED SOLDIERS, AS THE WHITE AMERICANS TRIED TO KEEP THEM APAIR. All of this stuff and nonsense about keeping people in their places, as if; colored people had some special place, is booked to go sometime, and it appears as if our returning soldiers are going to be the ones to start it. IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW Altho it looks would have a l State could be signing of the Simmons signed to Sheriff Deilis As Deilis is cently in his but a short war The Courts man, the Gov and Snowden Altho it booked for a while like John Snowden would have a brief respite while a new Secretary of State could be appointed who would consent to the signing of the death warrant, the present Secretary Simmons signed the document, and turned it over to Sheriff Bellis. Snowden heard his doom Tuesday. As Bellis is reported to have said to Snowden recently in his cell, "There is nothing ahead of you but a short walk and a quick drop." The Courts have decided against the convicted man, the Governor has signed the death warrant, and Snowden will hang. UNLESS The colored and white people of the state, who believe in his innocence make that fact known in no uncertain terms to the Governor. After all it is not John Snowden, the man, that has aroused statewide interest and sympathy, but John Snowden the type of unoffending, unintelligent Negro, who was seen in the vicinity of the place where a crime was committed, who is sized upon, grilled and beaten, and held up before the people in the daily press as the scapegoat, simply because the crime is such that somebody ought to die for it. In all of his explanation to the various delegates Governor Harrington has not explained why the state moved the case from Annapolis, where Snowden was known, and where sentiment was favorable, to Baltimore County, the county in all Maryland reputed to be most prejudiced in its treatment of the Negro. Nor has the state or the Governor been able to explain why Mrs. Spencer Morgan(white), the woman to whom Mary Perkins first told of having seen Snowden coming from the Brandon home, is so anxious for a new trial for Snowden, except it be that she has found out that the story told her and the story told the court do not agree. It is reported also on good authority that Mrs. Roth was one of the contributors to the fund, which got Snowden's case before the higher court. One way of getting the changing of the sentence death to that of life imprisonment, is to convince the state's chief executive that the people do not consider this act THE GREATEST MISFORTUNE THAT COULD POSSIBLY BEFALL THEM. Every effort ought to be made to have the Governor take this step before it becomes felt that the only resources lies in the United States Supreme Court. The correspondent, who describes the councilman-county contest in the seventeenth ward as a "Kilkenny kat fight," is not far from being right. Just now the situation is what Bert Williams would call "preposterous," and an Englishman "utterly absurd." In no other ward of the city have the colored voters such a cinch on electing their own candidate, and in no other ward is there so much rivalry among factions, and lack of organized party control. It might have been expected that the death of the late Harry S. Cummings would throw things into a natural chaos until his mantle settled firmly upon the shoulders of some worthy representative. But it was not expected that the vacancy would result in a mad scramble of six contestants, with a poor puzzler voter hardly knowing which way to turn. While the situation is ridiculous, it cannot be helped and there is little use of crying over the split milk. However the voters have a right to expect a clean cut campaign by these six entrants conducted without mud slinging, and the injection of personal animous. A campaign conducted along other lines than these mentioned can only result in a permanent split in the ward with the possibility of the 1000 Democratic voters walking off with the bacon. The situation up in Walnut Alley, exposed sometime ago by a reporter of the Afro-American, where George Johnson, a paralytic, was reputed to be boss and enjoy police protection for his Sunday bootlegging, is paralleled by recent exposures of vice conditions in Chester, Pennsylvania. According to testimony twenty houses have been found in the Bethel Court District of Chester, patronized by white men. The mayor of the town placed a cordon around the entrances and exits to these places, but in spite of them, white men used them night after night. Patrolmen on the beat have repeatedly reported the conditions to their superior officers, who never attempted to raid the premises. When raids are staged, experience shows that only the poor fish are caught who cannot pay for the protection of our metropolitan police force. Just have money enough it seems, and you can run, under the eyes of the law, any kind of a "joint" you please. --- THAS, SAPPHIRE AND THE ASSOCIATE PRESS. He dispatches sent out from Washington of February 1st, and claiming that the amendment had refused all passes to delegate the Pan-African Congress in Paris, and Bois, appear designed to discourage idea of the conference. The reason assigned by the press that France did not consider the time with a meeting. The cabbageman of Paris, however, states that Premier and given his permission for the February 12th and 13th and added the fully selected delegates welcomed. Similarly shows that the Associated Press unreliable when it comes to repellent colored people. Moremore, this is the second instance for unintentional misrepresentation on last two weeks. This same Associated Press quoted Dr. Morrow that he went over to Europe at his request to confer with him on the question of German colonies. From official sources, the Afro-America Dr. Motton gave no such statement to the widely quoted statement, purp from Dr. Motton to the effect that the ignorant and not ready for self-gift not given out by the principal of Truss all of the press news of the Peace Council disturbed as these two cases moment time for private corporations to take work out of the hands of the C ANANIAS, SAPERIHA AND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The dispatches sent out from Washington, under date of February 1st, and claiming that the State Department had refused all passes to delegates to attend the Pan-African Congress in Paris, arranged by Dr. DuBois, appear designed to discourage in America the idea of the conference. The reason assigned by the press dispatches was that France did not consider the time favorable for such a meeting. The cablegram to Dr. DuBois from Paris, however, states that Premier Closienne had given his permission for the Conference on February 12th and 13th and added these words: "Carefully selected delegates welcomed." It simply shows that the Associated Press is altogether unreliable when it comes to reporting the news affecting colored people. Furthermore, this is the second instance of intentional or unintentional misrepresentation of facts in the past two weeks. This same Associated Press quoted Dr. Moton as saying that he went over to Europe at President Wilson's request to confer with him on the settlement of the question of German colonies. From official sources, the Afro-American has it that Dr. Moton gave no such statement to the press. Even the widely quoted statement, purporting to come from Dr. Moton to the effect that the Africans were ignorant and not ready for self-government, was not given out by the principal of Tuskegee. If all of the press news of the Peace Conference is as distorted as these two cases mentioned, it is about time for private corporations to take this reportorial work out of the hands of the Creel committee THE NEW ARRANGEMENT down to December, 1917, the Afro- six-column newspaper; then it was open columns, and with this issue it trued to promise, with eight columns eight pages. The change means a practical addition in all, or an entire page, so that the older issues, the present issue of page more of news matter and adve- cences of our readers and advertise the improvements necessary, and ende, the way is nearer to the next- newspaper. The resolution of a local civic mee- ning the oop eating shops on Per- cise and car the water front and a Department to close them up is endurable movement. We can have the so-called cheap eat- tion having dirty and unsanitary, caitin is up to other civic organizations to ha- n until some remedy is effected. Down to December, 1917, the Afro-American was a six-column newspaper; then it was enlarged to seven columns, and with this issue it blossoms forth, true to promise, with eight columns on each of the eight pages. The change means a practical addition of eight columns in all, or an entire page, so that compared with the older issues, the present issue contains a whole page more of news matter and advertisements. Demands of our readers and advertisers have made these improvements necessary, and with this step made, the way is nearer to the next—a twelve page newspaper. The resolution of a local civic meeting condemning the oopn eating shops on Pennsylvania avenue and car the water front and asking the Health Department to close them up is a highly commendable movement. We can have the so-called cheap eating house without having dirty and unsanitary eating houses, and it is up to other civic organizations to harp on the question until some remedy is effected. THE COURT MARTIALED until all the details of the court mar- tial officers of Company I. 368th Infantry public, judgment must be reserved side from the news officially con- nies are under indictment and awa- little has reached the public ear. the charge against the men is violi- t article of owar, which means show- ing in the face of the enemy. Mo- nering the charge is cowardice. Until all the details of the court martial of the four officers of Company I. 368th Infantry are given to the public, judgment must be reserved. Aside from the news officially confirmed, that the men are under indictment and await punishment, little has reached the public ear. The charge against the men is violation of the 75th article of law, which means showing 'the white feather' in the face of the enemy. More plainly speaking the charge is cowardice. In the face of the fine showing made by other regiments of the 92nd Division, it comes as a distinct shock to realize what the dismissal and disgrace of I Company will mean. the only thing that lightens the burden is the knowledge that the Court disagreed and the case now awaits the review of President Wilson.

SAYINGS OF LINCOLN Lincoln Birthday February 12th Keep niggling away. Answer with facts, not arguments. Get ready and the chance will come. We all like the man who "sticks thru thick and thin." The value of life 4s to improve one's condition. Nothing is so local as not to be of some general benefit. May the vast future not have to lament that you neglected it. Shall he who cannot do much be for that reason excused if he do nothing? When an occasion is piled high with difficulty, we must rise to the occasion. What is it that we hold most deaf? Our own liberty and prosperity. Be a patriot! Don't mar the immortal emblem of humanity, the Declaration of Independence. Every blade of grass is a study; and to produce two where was but one is both a profit and a pleasure. The hired laborer of yesterday labors on his own account today and others to labor for him tomorrow. Teach economy, that is one of the first and highest virtues. It hinges with saving money.

NO RESPITE FOR SNOWDEN Annapolis, Md., Feb. 5.—It looked like there might be a tie up in the Snowden case last Saturday, when it was reported here that the Secretary of State Simmons of Cambridge had refused to sign a warrant, which already been okeyed by the Governor. Such an action would have made it necessary to delay the execution until a new secretary of state could be appointed. Monday morning, the rumor was dispelled when Secretary Simmons announced that his personal views were against the hanging, but he never allowed his personal views to interfere with his public duties. The death warrant was signed by him, but he turned to Sheriff Bellis at the jail here where it was read to Snowden in the death cell. Last week Snowden was seized with a vomiting spell and was ill for sometime. The jail physician informed me it is that the change into the death cell from his old open cell had weakened his nerve. Snowden the sherif for a cake from some of his friends. He was told that all food he desired was from the food chain now, and none from elsewhere. What Douglass Thought of Lincoln Continued from Page 1. create his memory, to multiply his statues, to hang his pictures high upon your walls, and commend his example, for to you he was a great and glorious friend and benefactor. Instead of supplanting you at this altar, we would exhort you to build his monuments; let them be of the most costly material, of the most cunning workmanship; let their forms be symmetrical, beautiful and perfect; let their bases be upon solid rocks, and their summits lean against the unchanging blue, over-hanging sky, and let them endure forever! But while, in the abundance of your wealth, and in the fullness of your just and patriotic devotion, you do all this, we entreat you to despise not the humble offering we this day; unwell; for while Abraham Lincoln saved for you a country, he delivered us from a bondage, according to Jefferson, one hour of which was worst than ages of the oppression your fathers rose in rebellion to oppose. Hillsboro, Texas.—After battling the jail door for several hours with a telephone pole, a man of prominent white people, men at women, took Bragg Williams from the bastille, led him to a vacant lot, and poured oil over his form and fed him to the flame. His moans and cries rent the car for blocks away from the scene of the crime. He was under the stance of death for the murder of Mrs. George Wells (white) and her child at Itasca. Prejudice said to have ruled supreme at trial. He was not allowed to testify, it is claimed. The mob became enraged when it was learned that William's attorney had made an appeal and was on the eve of being granted a new trial when the prisoner was seized. Developments came to light during the trial showing that Williams was the victim of a frame-up and that Mrs. Wells was a woman of questionable character. Contrary to all reports seen out that the crowd was crowded during the burning was strengthened when it was learned that all the factories, school houses and business places were ordered closed in order that a large crowd would be present at the stake. County officers failed to combat the mob. They were present at the barring and kept the crime scene certain from the flames as the victim was seized to ashes. Boxes, barrels and other objects were piled on Williams as he wore wriggling in the midst of the fire. Dogs barked as the angry torches of the flames linked out, and out, but was hurled directly to a near-by drug store, where grease were applied to the burns. Since the odor of the burning flesh of Williams has been drenched in the atmosphere, residents of this section are rapidly seeking portions of the country. A crowd of old men and women poured into Fort Worth and Waco on their way north. Recognized of the loss sustained by the untimely departure, every one smiley at leaving the firehouse in talking to a group of men in the road station near Hillsboro "Boys, the only way to put an end to this burning and lynching business is to stop it ourselves we can't depend on the Southern laws to do it." He was prostrate and had plighted to destroy it "whole black population." With the burning of William Texas hurts another vile exploit at the appeal issued by President Wilson to stop lynching—Winston Salem News. London, Feb. 1.—When photographers' cameras discovered the fact that President Wilson the morning of his visit to his rescuers turned up while the other remained in conventional record on his shoe.

Other incidents cropped up which caused the president himself some amusement, such as when he addressed the lord mayor at the Mansion House luncheon to "Mister Lord Mayor" instead of "My Lord Mayor." Wilson is credited most for Mrs. Wilson's cover mail Susie to carry off the honors for creating the most humorous diversion at his trip. The Manchester Guardian today relates the story as follows: "When the famous gold plate was brought out at the state banquet the royal servants threw Miss Susie would be proper impressed. Quite the contrast. Susie about it and she said it was very fine indeed, but they had quail as good at the White House. "There was no gold plate at Washington, and Mrs. When she heard of Susie's reply, that fact to her. Susie replied: "I know that, am'm, but "wasn't going to let them know the "The queen, like a true hostess said to Susie that she hoped she was comfortable. Susie afterward reported to Mrs. Vilas what the queen had said, and told her: "You must always ask guests at the White House if there are any guests. She was given the place of honor at the upper servants' table. It must have been like a part from 'The Virginian.'" IN THE SOCIAL WHIRL FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1919. On the Society Editor B. B.

Llewellyn Wilson The concert given at the Lyrie on last Friday night by the New York New York orchestra, under direction Will Stallard. Cook was indeed an artistic triumph. The orchestra played for the most perfect compositions of Negro composers and the most expressive that that revealed much of the intrinsic beauty, charm and value of the plain- ace melodies, especially the armor- music, peculiarly the rhythmics that are found only in the music of the Negro. The orchestra as developed in this country through the efforts of musicians like Europe, Cook and Tyers is as distinctive and unique as the classical classics and as truly its piece in the musical life of America as the modern symphonic orchestra. We engage not only the day when we will not be coming when we shall have our, orchestra gives us "monthly series," or orchestra played with much percussion of attack and brought out the mances in a manner that quite held the audience receding was that of Tyers "Admission."

The war has not bothered her, she has eaten of the best that she could buy and danced and flirted away her time without a thought of the boy, or what tomorrow would bring. The divorce court will be busy with her kind and caring wife, and come. She was the girl who wanted to say her husband was a soldier, and when he dons civilian clothes the novelty wears off and is tired of her bargain. I heard a woman say the other day, "You should be the girls, as a uniform sets them crazy. They show such very little sense and judgment that a body has to be ashamed of them."

DoNot Envy Long Hair 1 HAND MADE LACE EDGING The chief fancy work of the moment now that we do not have to knit any more, is to make one's self yards and yards of narrow edging in fillet or some simple pattern. This is the pleasantest kind of pick-up work, and seems to have an indescribable fascination for the texture of much real use. Fortunately the very tiny edges are much used at present. These work up very rapidly, especially if one selects a simple design. There are numerous books on the subject and clear instructions on lace crocheting and even if there were no printed directions the cuts rae so clear that one can follow most any design in fillet. Besides their use on lingerie dresses as underwear, this technique is seen in many of the cloth and silk gowns. $3-$5 Weekly SCHOOL BOYS For your spare time after school and if you hustle you can earn more.

L. H. DAVENPORT, HAVE QUALIFIED AS A CANDIDATE FOR THE FIRST BRANCH OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE 17th WARD, Subject to the Republican Primaries, April 1, 1919. ****************** FELLOW CITIZENS:— In asking your support of my candidacy for the First Branch of the City Council, I realize the high honor and responsibility attached to the position and therefore, if I be nominated and elected to the Council, I will safeguard your interests, and at all times be ready to meet any legislation that may be hostile to the best interests of all the people of the Ward and City, or any ordinance or question arising in the Council affecting unfavorably your welfare. I shall call a conference of representative citizens and get an expression from them on public questions. I will advocate better care of the smaller streets of the city and urge proper lighting facilities and better sanitary conditions as the small streets should receive the same care, as the larger thoroughfares of our municipality. I will work to secure the employment of any citizen desiring to enter the services of the city government and oppose the exclusion of colored men from the same. I shall give unconditional support to the merit system. I shall be untiring in my efforts to secure like pay for similar work of teachers in the High School and Training School of the city and continue the same in the graded and grammar schools. Similar service should be rewarded with equal salaries. I shall work earnestly for a new and properly equipped High School with all modern appointments. For four years I served as a member of the Republican City Committee. In June, 1906, I recommended the Republican Judges and Clerks to the Board of Supervisors of Elections for appointment in the 17th Ward, when all of the names of colored men were vetoed but two. It is known to many of you that I continued to send in names of colored men until they were confirmed. These are matters of record and history. Now it is for you to judge whether I properly guarded the interests of all the citizens at that time. In past years the 17th Ward has been represented by a lawyer, a physician and a practical politician. I am now asking your surgeon as a business man thoroughly identified with the business interests of the ward and city and bound to you by ties that cannot be broken. As all well regulated municipalities are run on modern business principles, I submit my candidacy to you for your most careful consideration, assuring you that I shall do my best to aid in giving the city a business-like administration in the interests of all the people. LEWIS H. DAVENPORT. TO THE VOTERS OF THE 17th WARD:— GENTLEMEN:— Owing to the sincere requests of so very many of the good citizens of the 17th Ward, I have become a legal candidate for the FIRST BRANCH CITY COUNCIL, Balitmore, Md., subject to the Primaries of April 1, 1919. While taking this step I wish it to be known that if I be elected:— 1st. I shall welcome and invite wise counsel and good advice from those most capable of rendering same, but I shall most positively refuse to be the political tool of any corrupt political boss either within or without the Ward. 2nd. The best interests of Greater Baltimore City will receive my most careful study and zealous support. 3rd. Reports from the city Health Department indicate the necessity for considerable civic bettermement within the 17th Ward in order to prevent it being in some respects a detriment. These conditions I would remedy through campaigns of education, and by bettering the Negro's economic condition party through some of the avenues of labor now denied him, but undoubtedly due him, particularly so now that this great country is to be a real and practical Democracy. 4th. Because of the shamefully unhealthful conditions of many of our public schools and the imperative need of a new or greater and modern High School for colored youth, I would give special attention to this, which is one of our most crying necessities. The best interests of the colored children of our city require at least one colored lady as a truant officer, also. As citizens and tax pawners we are justly entitled to all of the above and more, and for them I claim we should contend. VERY RESPECTFULL. HOWARD E. YOUNG 1100 DRUID HILL AVENUE THE COLORED BUSINESS MEN'S EXCHANGE EN-DORSES WM. L. FITZGERALD for the First Branch City Council for the Seventeenth Ward and WARNER T. McGUINN for the First Branch City Council for the Fourteenth Ward. The Colored Business Men's Exchange takes this method, of announcing to the public its endorsements of Wm. L. Fitzgerald for the First Branch City Council for the Seventeenth Ward and Warren T. McGuinn for the First Branch City Council for the Fourteenth Ward. With pleasure we have watched their growth during a period of many years and by their unbounded energy, unfailing integrity and great natural ability they both have won a most honorable reputation among all business men of our city and their fellow-citizens. We believe both are peculiarly fitted to take places among the salons of our city. Their honesty has never been questioned, their loyalty to their race has been beyond reproach and their long business training and experience fits them for the arduous duties of our City Council. It seems to us that laws are best made by lawyers. Their legal training will stand them in good stead in their battling for the interest of the city, the wards which they represent and the rights of our race. For the reasons above stated we cheerfully endorse them for the First Branch of the City Council and promise them our suffrage and whatever influence we may have with our friends and neighbors.
