(SHIFT CORRESPONDENCE) Washington, February 14, 1866— looking up the church in the colonial column of North America that admires the soldiers are being cared for and coded of their service in Camp Alexander near New York, Virginia. Representative billion of Santa Claus gave the Home on Wednesday of again an account of conditions that safely made the blood load comfortable. Representative Dillon found coded soldiers sitting along side of civilians about $2 per day. The soldiers are only $1 per day. Coded soldiers are forced to affiliate officers $20 and $15. Affiliated officers of the soldiers are not per- mitted to ask for a discharge at 81. Mr. Tilson, a representative from congestion added that according to his information coded troops are being held in local amounts to satisfaction or share. He said because they have no equal powers with officers to apply for a discharge. JM CROW CARE Mr. Tilson said that the United States Shipping Board is operat- ing the street car line from Old Confort to the camps and thus inside the care is the state. "White passengers leave by door door, colored passengers by back door." The Dia Crow law for the separation of white and colored people was operating in cars owned by the government, for signs stating people were to locate the red seats and white seats the front seats. MCDU TO THEIR KNEES It was stated that there have been for some months past several colored troops stationed in the vicinity of Newport News, as well as comprising various ranks of colored organizations; that colored troops in varying numbers have been used as laborers on private industrial, and county work, such construction and repair of bridge ditches, and water works, and are areas of country around Newport News, as far north as Lee.

When the train faced Jacksonville a layover of a less hours gave the passengers a Hail, a distance of about 19 miles, and cost as far as Old Point Comfort; and that most of this work was done in the disheartening conditions, the colored soldiers often working in mud almost to their knees.

SAME CONDITIONS IN PLOHIDA CAMPS "That this treatment of the colored soldiers was not confined to this particular camp is evidenced by a statement made by a former soldier who was sentenced at Camp Johnson, Jacksonville. In command of a labor company of colored soldiers. "This company consisted of 200 chance to resist and get the king out of their jobs." The party was taken in automobiles to Edward Waters College, where they had breakfast. A shearing took around the city followed.

Twenty and twenty-two of them received a warrant stated being that they had been brought in as descrenders and $50 paid to some officer who had brought them in. This payment had been charged against the soldier, which left him indebted to the Government. CORNISH CITY VOLUNTARILY "One of these colored soldiers said that he had come to the camp of his own free will, as soon as he learned of his order to report. When asked if no one had come with him to the camp to the postmaster's brother had come with him, but that he had paid his own fare as well as the fare of his companion, who told him that he was going to Jacksonville anyway, and so he had come with him and show him who to report to. Nevertheless, the charge of desertion was placed against him, and the $50 paid to the man who brought him in and charged up the soldier to be his pay." "Another, who lived in Georgia, stated that he registered in June, 1917, and then learning that there was need of labor in the shipyards at Jacksonville had gone there and secured employment. After arriving in Jacksonville he decided of his change of address by letter and told them to mail his notice to him there. He worked a few weeks in the shipyards and then got employment with the Government in the post exchange at the camp. While he was thus employed by the Government, within the military camp and under his proper name, a policeman came over to him and asked him as a deserter, and escorted him about two blocks to camp headquarters, collected $50. NEVER RECEIVED NOTICES This payment was accordingly charged against the soldier and deducted from his pay in spite of the fact that he had conducted himself in accordance with the draft regulations, and that this was the first knowledge he had of any notice calling him into the military service. They are merely two cases illustrative of the whole number of Continued on Page 4. HOSPITAL DENIED STATE AID Philadelphia Institution Gap App Marrisonburg, Pa. Feb. 12—Douglas Hospital.

THE TITANIC DECKS OF THE "FRANCE" LOADED WITH "OUR BOYS" COMING HOME These Men Covered Themselves With Glory, Were The First American Soldiers To Reach The Rhine, Never Had One Of Their Men Captured By The Hun And Received The Croix De Guerre For Their Bravery In Action SOUTH DIVIDED 317TH UNDER ALL IN TWO GROUPS NEGRO OFFICERS One Determined To Put Feat Into The Hearts Of Returning Soldiers—Others Willing To Grant Larger Freedom BY A. E. AERY That there are two groups of white people in the South; one of which is determined to put fear into the hearts of the returning soldiers and the other of which is willing to grant them larger democracy is the substance of a statement by Mordecai World Trade, editor of the Negro Year Book. "The South is asking itself seriously these big questions: What will happen when the 300,000 Negro soldiers, who have left us, return again, after having had their gun abducted, Democracy, and after having fought and bled for their country? What will be their attitude when they come home? Will they take their same old positions in their communities? Will they continue to submit patiently to the treatment they require before their home? What will these Negro soldiers really do? "The Negro soldiers from the South have gone into the Army from the most remote sections. They have seen something of the world. They, like their white companions, are returning in a vision of life. Of the other hand, they are not returning with a spirit of hostility, but they are coming to their homes with the desire to become, as civilians, better and more useful men and to help promote the welfare of their respective communities. REACTIONARY WHITES "There are two schools of thought among the white people. One group says in substance: 'Let Continued on page 4.' LOST EYE FIGHTING Denton. Mid., February 10. Pittsburgh.

TYLER ARTICLE XVI With the American Army in France—Marbuché, Dec. 7.—Colored soldiers over here take a just pride in the manner the 317th Ammunition*train has functioned under a commanding colored officer. He has been on this active front. Had not the ammunition*train functioned properly, and rapidly, the big drive on Metz, in which was engaged the 92nd Division, might have been handicapped. For many days prior to November 6, the day of the drive, the 317th Ammunition*train had been on distributing ammunition along the front at advantageous locations—"ammunition*dumps," as called in military parlance. It just happened that, for weeks before the drive, and when preparations were being made for it and during it, the colonel, the command thus devolving upon Major Dean, the only active colored-field officer in the division. The average strength of this unit has been one thousand men. On July 23rd the Headquarter's motor battalion, companies B and C of the train, was detached, and to Marbuché, on the southern coast of France. These companies comprised the first real unit of American soldiers to enter that city, and remain there for a week. By their neat appearance, soldierly bearing, and respectful demeanor, they were a military, these colored soldiers made a fine impression upon the people of Marsillies. It was not until a week or ten days after the cessation of hostilities, under the terms of the armistice, that a white commander, named Marshall, assigned to the train. Now, to paraphrase an old well known line; "all is quiet along the Mossell," on which Marbache is situated, the new white commanding officer assumes command in a quiet sector.

NEW YORK 15TH 372ND GETS HAS FINE RECORD BIG WELCOME Never Retreated An Inch In Battle And Never Lost A Prisoner. Regiment Returned Last Monday New York, February 13—Excellent expectancy was fulfilled Monday with the return of the brave 656th Regiment, old 15th New York Regiment, from the bloody battlefields of France, where they made a notable record as soldiers. A big welcome was given the troopers and their commander Col. Roberts, never here from France. The record of the regiment was thus summed up from the stories The record of the regiment was thus summed up from the stories of the returned heroes: "we have the best Negro soldiers in action, April 9, 1918, at Main de Massagos, Champagne." "In that month they held 20 per cent of the ground held by the American Army," he recounted as a whole won the Corps de Guerre in September and October, 1918, and there were 132 citations of officers and men individually. "We were the first unit of the armies of the Allies to attain the Tibhne. It left the trenches at Thun, November 17, and came to Blade'sheim, on the left bank of the river, the next day. "It has the record of 191 days in front of the army and in battle—perhaps the best that has been made by an American unit. "It never logs, a prisoner, a trench or foot of ground." "This regiment, the old 15th of New York, and to any who may have declared that Negroes were not fighters." 351st FIELD ARTILLERY DECE FEBRUARY 16th New York, Feb. 12—The field and staff supply company, medical detachment and Batteries A. A. C. D. of the 531st Field Artillery are due to arrive in New York on February 16th. The troops are on board transport Louisville.

PRICE 5 CENTS CAMPS OKEN; HONORS 372ND GETS BIG WELCOME TheWildest Demonstration Ever Given Returning Soldiers At Hoboken Last Tuesday Evening Falls To Lot Of Local Boys ARRIVE IN FRANCE IN APRIL The 372nd, which included Mary- land's own, arrived in France on April 14th, and two weeks later went into training with the French battleship the 372nd, which branches just west of Verdun around Hill 304 and sections of Four de Paix and Vanguards. The French themselves had not been able to hold Hill 304 consistently and they turned it over to their colored allies to test them. The 372nd held the hill. The first engagement was in the Champagne Forest with Montoir as objective and the regiment made good. From June 8 to September 10 they fought in the bloody Argonne Forest, and from September 26 until hostilities closed the Regiment took part in the great offensive, capturing unhuffed of artillery. For these achievements, told exclusively in the Afro-American, the Regiment was cited in the General Orders of the French Commanding General and was awarded the War Cross. The French Division which our boys were brigaded was known as the Red Hand Division. Besides winning the regimental War Cross, eight-eight individuals of the 372nd were individually decorated with war crosses.

NEWPORT NEWS AGAIN Newport News bobs unpleasantly into the light again. At the beginning of October, the parachutes despatches of a riot at Camp Alexan located there, and the only camp in the country named for a colored officer. If the conditions protrayed in other columns the Afro-American are true, and they come free of member of Congress, who investigated their pern Newport News bobs unpleasantly into the line-light again. At the beginning of October, the press carried despatches of a riot at Camp Alexander, located there, and the only camp in the country named for a colored officer. If the conditions protracted in other columns of the Afro-American are true, and they come from a member of Congress, who investigated them personally, then there is a wonder that Newport News has not had more than this one riot. Congressman Tilson used the word "involuntary servitude" in referring to the slavery under which our soldiers are held in these Virginia camps. Considering the fact that the men are not allowed to apply for discharge, are worked for long hours up to their knees in mud for private contractors, to whom they are now being loaned, and that their wives, mothers and other dependent relatives are being robbed of their rightful allotment thus sharks working in collusion with government officials, no language is too severe in describing such horrible conditions. The letter from one of the suffering soldiers speaks more loudly than the congressional report and gives the impression that Congress has just scratched the surface, and that a thore investigation will result in some very startling disclosures. Already General Ferguson in command of the camps at Newport News has been relieved of his command, but the public will not be satisfied with any short handed procedure. It will demand that an examination will be made that will expose the men who are guilty and bring them to court martial and disgrace where they belong. Why were these things not found out long ago, if they have been going on since last April? How could the office of the Assistant to the Secretary of War investigate conditions in these camps last summer and give them a clean bill of health? What about bringing to trial the postmasters, who held up notices from draft boards to drafteres and then collected the $50 for turning over documents? The guilty officers and other government officials deserve the severest penalty under the law. Their crimes were committed not only in peace times but in times of war, long before there was any that of armistice. They are not only shackers, but guilty under the espionage act of affording aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States by obstructing the progress of the war. PROTESTS "IN PUBLIC" AND AT THE "BACK DOOR." Women of the Militant Suffrage Party burned President Wilson in effigy last week not far from the White House. The President, was in Europe, but he doubtless heard about it, and whether he did or not, the women made it known to a great many millions of voters in this country what they think of the Chief Executive. No, weather has been too cold or too wet for women of this Party to stand about the streets of Washington with flags and banners bearing all kinds of mottoes. They have heckled the President in meetings and whenever he attempted to leave the White House grounds. They have been arrested and sent to houses of detention, but others took their places, and the only evident result was that their complaints brought about better treatment of their prisoners in Washington reformatories. Some time ago these same women burnt copies of President Wilson's writings, but last week shows now they are progressing when they burnt the resident in effigy. Short of actually getting hold of the person of the Chief Magistrate, little now remains to be done. There is every indication here that these earnest, sincere people, far from presuming on their sex, are determined to leave no steps unturned to bring about the ballot for all of their kind. That they employ what might appear unseemly, and sensational methods does not detract from the sincerity Sometimes ago an audience in this city hissed City Solicitor Thrift when he made some uncomplimentary remarks about them. On another occasion, the local superintendent of schools was quizzed about the Jim crow practice of seating colored teachers at the Lyric. On each of these two instances, there have been "pussyfooters" to arise and say, they did not think that was quite the way to go about it. It was a little too public and "embarrassing." It remains for the Women's Party to give the country a lesson in "courage." It takes genuine "courage" to face public ridicule. This is what the hecklers in Washington are doing, and their insistence together with their sincerity has raised up for them a host of friends everywhere. When the Susan B. Anthony Amendment is passed by the Sixth-Sixth Congress, it will be largely the work of these women. Far from discouraging the courageous people, who are bold enough to make their protests in "public," and not at the "back gate," the Campaign of the Women's Party shows that publicity wins; that every time, the public listens to the insistent pleader when he is right, and sometimes when he is wrong.

With our own First Separate Company coming into New York on Tuesday, the Three Hundred and Fifty-first Field Artillery due, part of them on Sunday, and the rest of them on Wednesday of next week. Baltimoreans might as well prepare to get their flags of welcome in the windows and prepare to do some shouting. The local committee on welcoming the soldiers has left much undone in the way or informing the public as to their plans of greeting the heroes on their return. But this should in nowise dampen the ardor of the patriots, who are going to do themselves proud in honoring these boys who have been into the jaws of death and come back again to tell how they did it.

The policemen walked up and down Eutaw street and stopped every white man that came along. Colored men were allowed to pass by undisturbed. When thirteen white men were collected, they were signed up, of the place of meeting and told to report promptly to hear the evidence. A number of colored persons in passing asked why colored people are not allowee to sit on coroners' juries, even in cases where the parties hold or killed are colored. The question is worth asking and worth repeating. Why must white folks pass on the justice that is meted out to colored folks without their consent? The same thing holds good for petit juries in the city and in the state. Dr. J. R. L. Diggs made a point that Governor Harrington could not answer in their recent conference, when he said that Snowden was not tried by his peers as the law expressly decrees, because there was not a colored man on the jury. The Governor did not refer to this statement of Dr. Diggs at all in his reply. Maybe it was because he, like a good many other white people think themselves qualified to sit on their own cases and those of the colored people as well. If there is any good reason aside from the so-called "race superiority," why colored folks in Maryland cannot sit on coroner's juries and on petit juries, it is time to rise up and say it. On the other hand the time is past when the Governor or any body else can afford to keep silent about it. FREDERICK DOUGLASS enough to say of Frederick anniversary that he was a efficient time has passed his career and to point to defin- ence and definite things that of the great Maryland formation of triumphs. He mad- ands and the criticism that It is not enough to say of Frederick Douglass on his birthday anniversary that he was a great man. Certainly sufficient time has passed since the close of his eventful career to point to definite goals that he strove for and definite things that he achieved. The life of the great Marylander was not one grand succession of triumphs. He made enemies as well as friends and the criticism that was 'heaped upon him by radical abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and his friends on account of diversity of opinion as to the best way of solving the color problem, made him filch many times without changing his own plans. There had been criticism before this from the friends of John Brown when Douglass was taken into the confidence of the martyr of Harpers Ferry, and still did not join the band, which shed blood for the freedom of the slave. But their ways were not the ways of Douglass. It is to his credit that he did not change his own views. He said on one occasion: If six millions of colored people, (there were only six millions in the United States at that time), have not sufficient wisdom to organize and combine to defend themselves from outrage, discrimination, and oppression, it is idle for them to expect that the Republican Party or any other party will organize and combine for them, or cares what becomes of them." Douglass recognized what a mighty power one million of colored voters possessed, that while Garrison and John Brown could help in making the burdens of Negroes lighter the ultimate solution of the problem lay in the united action of the colored people themselves. His work in the enlistment of colored soldier's in the Freedmen's Bureau, as an author, editor and orator, was all hitched to the one big idea of organizing the race for united action. Incidently Douglass emphasized with what may seem to us in this day too much fervor that the whites should first civilize the Negro slave and leave his conversion to a later date. Douglass put justice ahead of religion, the ballot ahead of the Bible, and a peaceful dwelling place in the United States ahead of the hope of going to the white man's heaven. Many years have passed since Frederick Douglass passed off the stage and as many thinkers have proposed a solution of the Negro problem. In the final analysis, they all come back to the one idea which Frederick lived and fought for, and in which lies the germ of redemption: Not by the help of the American white man mainly, not by violence, but by uniting all the colored forces and fighting with the faith and good spirit to the end for justice, equality and brotherhood. THE AFRO-AMERICAN From The Trenches READS IN AFRO OF SON COMING HOME The following letter was received by the Editor of the Afro- American: American 713 South E. St. Raleigh, N. C. January 30, 1919. Kind Sirs: While downcast from not hearing from my private Clarence from the Company K, 370th Infantry, A. E. F., I was very much relieved on picking up your paper last Saturday and read where the colored troops are coming home and naming the assigned regiments, among them the 370th Infantry. I had been inquiring among the lawyers and Red Cross workers to see if I could find his whereabouts as I have not heard from him since the signing of the Armistice, and before this he has had no more even my eyes. I had become incessant and was much relieved on seeing your paper. That I saw the paper was purely accidentally. My eldest son was up town and a little girl urged him to buy the paper. He bought the paper. He brought the journal home and gave it to me stating, "mother here is a paper I bought from a little girl. I do not know what is in it." It was my delight to read about the 370th Regiment. I induced the pain that the painting before find. Included 50 cents for three months subscription. MRS. MILLIE A.

F. S. S. Dear sir—It may be somewhat a surprise to you receiving this letter, yet while sitting reviewing my varied past I seemed to be in your midst in the greatest and grandest place a man could seek, the teachings that you and several others, some who have long since passed the Great Divide—used to give me, then a youth who did not see the serious side of life and the numerous problems it presented. Those hours in the "Old Sabbath School" stand out before me now, as if they were just yesterday. I can picture the familiar faces gather together for the long and the did the teach store—That God is just and shows mercy to those who keep His commandments. Now that the war is over we are all looking forward with joy to the day that we will be enabled to return to our native land. I am authority for saying that you whom we left should feel proud and played in terminating this world war, by the cream of the Afro-American manhood. No matter on what front he was placed, or what position he was commanded to hold he conducted himself superbly and fearlessly. It has been shown that he could not stand under "fire" but we have shown the civilized world that we are the equal, if not the superior, of any soldier on the face of the globe. I am proud to relate that the morals of our men in the war are one. One meets colored men over here from the ever glades of Florida to the snow capped peaks of New England, yet they are all brothers. I rejoice in the knowledge that we are members of a race of stalwart men, who boast of no traitors nor enemies. America will eventually awake to the fact that we are men and should enjoy the same protection and privileges accorded the other races. I hope to again soon be in your midst and also hope that you and all the members of Wytogt's A.M.E. Church and Sabbath School will be playing the smallest team are enjoying the best of health and prosperity. P. S. I am forwarding this (via) of my mother, Mary M. C. Bantum, 425 N. Eden St. My regards to my former tutor, Mr. Joshua Northern and all the officers and teachers, and pray for me for I know that prayer alone has brought me safely through this crisis. SERGEANT THOMAS F. SPHUR WILL NOT BE HOME FOR LONGS FOR THE PROMOTED TO FIRST Sergt. James E. Patterson of Company G 8688 Infantry writes to his wife the following account of G in the drive of September 9th: My dear wife: It is with the greatest of pleasure that I inform you of the fighting company G. Don't think for a moment that I am putting Co. G in front of any other organization that participated in the 28th of September for the which I face and join in the Kaiser's face and caused him to abdicate his throne, but because I went over top with Co. G. I watched carefully to note the expression of their faces when the saddest of their lives went up to bed to hold up their wrist. For young soldiers they went over like real fighters. I will give you the details of the drive on the 26th of September. About 4 A. M. the morning of the 26th we started across No Man's Land and our crew were matched wire and proceeded in running the Germans out and taking their first line trenches. We remained in this trench treating our wounded and moving our dead comrades, while the officers both American and French were placed on next to our men, a very proud of our trench as this was the first one that we had taken. The next trench which was about 800 yards away was held by the Germans. They kept us under a constant shell-fire with high explosives. Only one of these shells reached our trench, the other went too far over or fell into the water and killed by the explosive. Our brave Leut. J. C. Pinkston, was among the first to be wounded. We held the trench from 6 a.m. to 1:37 that afternoon when we went over the top again in the midst of the volley of whizling shells, screening sharpnel, machine gun fire and every other miserable missile including gas shells and underwater places. In spite of all we gained nearly 3,000 yards of ground before our line halted. We stopped about midnight and one of the darkest nights that I have ever seen. We "scrampled" around to the place we had found under for we had ran into a machine gun nest and into a straight path of heavy shelling. Every step we took was in mud and water. Leut. Abrams of my company suggested that we move our men farther back in which to lay and rest. Before we had moved 14 yards the machine guns opened up on us again. We fell to the ground immediately, for had we remained standing we would have been shot with guns we were in a straight direction of our advance. This occurred in the Argonne Forest. We lay in the forest all night. Some in shell holes, others behind trees. At 4 a'clock the next morning the shells, high explosives and cannon of us made it seen as though the whole world was fighting in this one forest. Suddenly we found ourselves in a cloud of gas. There were nine of us who got quite a dose of this poison gas, three so badly gassed that they could not talk when we were there. I saw signs I saw coming back across No Man's Land I won't tell. I arrived at the first aid station in a critical condition. A colored doctor gave me the first dose of medicine and Capt. Queen was kneeling by my side talking but I was unconscious of what he was saying. We were carried in a Red Cross Ambulance and carried to a French hospital where we were treated for three days, when we were carried to an American Base Hospital, where I am now a convalescent. Wounded soldiers could not be treated any better than they are now, we were not aided by Leut. Colt. Uef is the commanding officer of this convalescent camp and there is not a thing mentioned for the benefit of the soldiers that he does not find a way to secure. The Red Cross too has done his part. I think it the duty of every soldier to life his hat to the ladies of the Red Cross and say thanks for the splendid work in this great war. I hope to see you very soon. JIM.

"Owens Can't Defend Himself Without Making Himself Enemy of People." I note in your columns of last week, a letter from Prof. J. A. Armstrong, condemning the statement of Prof. A. D. Owens, which appeared in the Maryland Weekbook for Colored People. I refer to which he says. The Negro is clamoring for social equality, when efficiency is the state he should seek to attain. Prof. Armstrong asks if I am asleeping or if I subscribe to the statement of sentiments against him. I noted the statement he surprise and humiliation. It it goes without saying that the statement was an unfortunate one, and I do not in any way subscribe to it. I did keep quiet and to keep other people giving it wide publicity. I herewith give my We are trying to improve the educational situation in Maryland, and however we may differ as to method, we all wish or ought to wish the same things for our people. It is unfortunate that we easily divide people, as to make them and the cause they represent easy victims to those who seek always to retard our progress. Therefore, we ought to be very careful about injecting mistakes, blunders and personalities into our life. It is so to credit of Mr. Armstrong that he disclaims this from the beginning. The whole subject is a delicate one. Its discussion by many of the white politicians of the South has done us unintold harm. Our enemies have ridden into prominence time and again upon the back of this worn out slogan that has haunted this sentiment the Negro gratuitously and then furiously attack him for holding him. Jim crowism, distranchisement and segregation have all followed logically in its evil train. But good and intelligent men, white and black, North and South alike have reached a tacit agreement to let this lie disguised in words its odoriferous corps. It has served the murderer and demagogue equally well. This is a supposed Democracy. Mr. Owens is a citizen thereof. I have heard him spoken of with his work in complimentary terms, and we must concede him the right of free speech about educational affairs, however deadly his speech may may. I did not answer he measured the full import of his words. I would almost be willing to warrant that he will not defend his position. In fact in the light of the truth he cannot defend it without becoming the open enemy of his people. That he can not afford to be. I have敢死 to be make myself elseif Ector. I permit me to thank you for the space you will possibly give this in your excellent paper. Very truly yours. Writes to the National Negro Press Association. Detroit, Mich., Feb. 4, 1919. To the National Negro Press Asso. Nashville, Tennessee. Gentlemen:— In my opinion, leaders of various Negro groups are displaying a woeful lack of mental perception and vision. For instance, they often refuse to answer the educational questions, such as the disposition which should be made of the German colonies in Africa, the interests of native African races, etc., while they are quiescent on subjects of paramount interest to our boys overseas. There are problems at home of more vital importance than the ones any boy centered in Europe. The treatment that is accorded our boys, on their return from the blood-stained battle fields of France, especially those whose homes are beneath southern skies, should be our first consideration. On this subject, I regret to note, with few exceptions, The Negro press has been onously silent. The spirit of our boys overseas is reflected in the following statements which I quote from a personal letter received from one of them. "I want you to know that our boys are giving a good account of themselves. They are making the most of themselves. They are fighting shoulder to shoulder with seasoned troops, and are reaching every objective outlined for them. Indeed, this is a great education for our young men, many of whom have never been outside the limits of their own small localities. They, too, are tasting freedom, and will come back a strong, virile force, demanding those inilienable rights so long denied them. And this will have fought for freedom and freedom must be their reward." With this spirit obsessing the Negro combats now overseas, and with the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia and Tennessee for the purpose of keeping the Negroized Native American places" on their return to their homes, it seems to me that the time is opportune for the Negro press to agitate the convening of an inter-racial conference of Negro leaders to agree on the best course to pursue to avoid race friction and insure the dominance of peace and order. Far better than our sons should be dulled the gourant land of "Liberty and Fraternity," than to return to find America unsafe for them, though they have fought to make the world safe for democracy. ASKS OWENS TO EXPLAIN With respect to Mr. Armstrong's article its hardly worth while to mention that the colored people do not seek after social equality because but as a matter of fact colored people must devil themselves of every privilege every opportunity handed down universally to all peoples. And nature has not made the Caucasian the truest of all the rights and the best of all. privileges of modern civilization. This being true the colored people have a right to everything that is good, that tends for the highest intellectual, spiritual and social betterment of the race. It is the opinion of the writer and what all due respect to Mr. Owens that at the time he prepared his article he labored in improving improper influences that carry the notion cracker conception of education for the colored south. We have quite a few Judas' that would if they could sell the race for thirty pieces of silver and while the writer does not at all refer to Mr. Owens as such, if he would be proper filings if Mr. Owens made an exposition of his article, which the criticism of Mr. Armstrong seems, more or less to justify. J. FRANKLIN JOHNSON White Officers Robbing Men That colored soldiers are forced to work for contractors and receive one dollar per day while civilians receive $3.50 per day for the same work is the charge made by the Army in Stuart, Newport News, Virginia. The charges which were made originally to the Afro-American have been held in the Army Department for investigation, according to the complaint, colored soldiers are "worked to death" by these private contractors, and the white officers from the South commanding the pay the pay are said to be charged by the officers who take two or three months money from their pay. It is also charged that white soldiers may go to Newport News when they please, but colored soldiers have difficulty in obeying pass. The charges in full read: "This is to let you know of terrible conditions that exist in Camp Stuart, Newport News, N. Col. colored soldiers are forced to work for contractors along with civilian workmen; civilians get $3.50 a day, while colored soldiers are forced to work harder than civilians and get a dollar per day." Civilian contractors frequently call on the Army officers in command of certain Labor Battalions to "lend" them a detail of men. These details of men are forced to work for their contractors and the commanding officer in charge get the pay. "Camp Stuart is in charge of Southern officers who make all oppressive orders against poor "worked to death" colored soldiers. "White soldiers can go to Newport News and do what ever they please, while a colored soldier must have a pass or spend money working for dishonest army officers who pretend to "line" them, and take two and three months of their pay. The colored people who work in the states should investigate these shameful conditions, and try to remedy them. "The colored soldiers are tired of being worked to death to enrich dishonest southern officers. Southern officers are getting rich from Negroes who work for contractors. Signed Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va." Objects To Negro Troops Lodging In German Homes German Professor Says This "In- suit" Siry Lead to Outbreak. Berlin, February 7.—As if the Germans were any better than the French people with whom the colored troops have lived, slept and eaten since coming to France, a German professor has arisen to protest against the army of occulters with white German population of the Rhine cities. The protest holds good not only against colored Americans, but also against the French forces recruited among the colonies in Africa. Prot. Hans Behrauck said—"The territory we no occupy the armistice with native Frenchmen, but for the greatest part with their colored Allies. These Negroes are billeted on the citizens. As long as the war lasts we must end for the inhabitants. Everything indicates that the French plan a very long war, as well as until Germany has paid off the war indemnities. "If this should really come to pass, it would not only be a barbarity but also an insult and multitreatment of the German people, which might lead at any moment to an outbreak and a new armed conflict. It is clear the world is divided. It is divided that—as is the peace of justice—up the road which French policy is following today." DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE CHEVRONS MEAN? A red "V" is inverted on the left sleeve between elbow and shoulder by the discharged soldier. A gold "V" is worn on the left cuff of coat or overcoat (or both) to indicate six months of service overseas. One chevron is given six months of service. A similar blue chevron is awarded for less than six months. A gold "V" worn on the right cuff signifies that the warmer has been wounded, gussed or injured in the performance of duty. A silver "V" is put on the left cuff for six months' service in this country. Marines who have served overseas are entitled to the chevrons of soldiers who have seen foreign service. Sailors for the service chevron wear an inverted "V" of gold braid for blue uniforms and of yellow silk or braid for white uniforms on the left cuff. The wearers must have been in active war service minutely prescribed. The sailor's wound chevron is an inverted "V" on the right sleeve. Each horizontal stripe on the sleeve—whatever the color—applies the appropriate service to the branch of the service to which the wearer belongs. Disclose Conditions at Camps Alexander and Stuart Continued from Page 1. allied desertion cases in this one company of colored soldiers, one of whom had received, through the mail or otherwise, the cus- sion notice sent by the local boards advising them that they had been called into the military service. "Why was there no investigation of this practice of bringing in these men?" the officer had received no notice calling them to the military service? It was because certain influential men and their friends were making considerable money by bringing these men in and collecting $50 for each. SHARKS GOT $500 "One of these is said to have collected as much as $500 in this questionable manner. "How was this done? It was done in this way." These colored men got nothing through the mail in the form of a notice calling the police. That was the method used by the local boards in giving notice, and since these cards giving notice were not returned to the local boards as undisclosed the director, Mr. Browne, said if they did not appear on the data set at the place specified in the notice. "The notices were sent out by the local boards but the postmaster dressed, but held out certain ones and kept them until the drafter was one day delinquent. Then he would hand them to a marshal of policeman, who would go out and one apprehended $50 for one apprehended. "In spite of this unjust and unlawful practice the charge of desertion remains against them and cannot be removed until they come to terms. Neither can they be discharged as long as they own the Government money, but must remain in the service until the indebedness is canceled. Every enlisted soldier at the time possessed date should be released from the service. They have not formed every duty required of them. They have helped carry the flag on to a successful victory, and a grateful nation can bestow a greater blessing upon them than to send them home to their loved ones.

Unfortunately there are altogether so many white people in this revolutionary group. **MANGED SOUTH** On the other hand, there is a smaller group of white people especially in the South, that are older and understands for the present difficult situation. These good men and women know considerably since 1914. They know, too, that quite naturally the Negro of today in the South is not just like the Negro before 1914.

THE A=O-AMERICAN THINKS CONDEMNE DID NOT Ralph Tyler Throws Addition Leading Up to the Action Superior White O THINKS CONDEMNED OFFICERS DID NOT GET A FAIR TRIAL BY RALPH W. TYLER in Cleveland Advocate. It is reported that four colored officers with the overseeing trouser in the court were found guilty and sentenced to be executed. I know nothing of the evidence in the case, but the marital in France were star-chamber affairs. I do know, however, that the opinion prevailed among colored officers in the court, and therefore against them constituted a finding of guilt in advance of trial. The jury composed of white officers. I do not believe these officers should be sentenced to imprisonment if they were involved in that engagement which resulted in charges of cowardice being preferred against the four officers who were involved had an opportunity to be heard. The engagement at Vienne l'Château, September 26th, in 1818, at 6:30 p.m. the troop took part, and which resulted in charges of cowardice being preferred against some of the officers. The execution of our colored army in France, and until the evidence obtainable has been presented to the lieutenant to believe it was a blot. To start with this story, I might say, infervently, if you please, the officers of the last spring, honored up with high anticipations, royalty and purity, made to me a sufficient disregard to destroy the morale of any unit immediately they carry them to France to light for "world democracy," for they were discriminated against in certain desis and dining room privileges. Surgeged on American shirts to "make the world safe for democracy." The 26th was the first unit of the 2nd Division to be thrown into action on 14th February. Cointet. The function of the Second Battalion in this engagement was to establish a liaison between the 2nd Division and the French on the left. It was under the command of Marshal de Marmoutier to meet the battalion went into that engagement — attempted the perilous undertaking of a machine gun attack or machine gun support; without maps, without hand grenades, and insufficient ammunition. The major engagement was two of the colored captains, after they had some overrun of the machine guns, turned back and asked for support, and got the Third Battalion to touch with their major, who had retried, immediately the engagement got hot, to the rear somewhere, thus the French could connect with him to secure orders. Unsupported, meeting with for superior numbers of the enemy, with insufficient armor, and with grenades, the only thing for the men to do was to retreat or be uninhibited. Some of these chose to former, the other to command, their commanding major, with the result that the major, after the failure of the effort, made obsolete the enrage and the infidelity, and the "buzzing" board did the rest. The Third Battalion, I was told, that the enemy was coming when it was set off by the enemy and forced to stay in a German digout. The major who was in command, the unfortunate attempt on the part of the two battalions to establish a liaison, was advanced to the rank of commander, the unfortunate command of a colored regiment. His reward was promotion; charges of cowardice and infidelity was the reward of the officer would seem that no efficient officer would send his command into an engagement totally unprepared, and if the emergency was so acute as to leave remain where it could get in BUF CLEAR LADIE'S AND BURTON'S CLEARANCE SALE OF LADIE'S AND GENTS WEARING APPAREL These are all new and seasonable merchandise but must be moved to MAKE ROOOM for our SPRING STOCK.

Once a man's life is taken it can never be returned, for the death of the man is possible opportunity to establish a penalty, ought to have every possible opportunity to establish a membership, and life, of the two battalions in that Vienna F.

Our armistice has been glorified, hostilities ceased, and these officers have been "tried and convicted" in their punishment in the balance, I can be excused for giving the information I have glorified in my report. In other information conveyed to me about this unfortunate engagement, which resulted in several officers being convicted of covariance and inefficiency. Their lives and reputations are not actually guilty, and that without a scintilla of doubt, the race cannot complain. But but sure they are guilty.

STUCK IN DUG OUT ENTRANCE Hardly and all the fellows rolled out before the boys, of the Supply Com- pany, to distribute supplies, when a shirl wistle and the clatter of horses teed up. They came up, snapping up the road about "Under Cover." The way that Harrison Fisher and Iiser, of the distributing supplies, was wonderful, herry Larkins. Ed Hill, Creston jod the way, followed Iiser. Ed Hill, Gibson Skipsey, Charles F. Lows, Gibson Hill and any number of others. They must have thought that they were going to numerous dog-ups that dotted the allele judging from their door-pullers in Baltimore could equal this one. Marshall finished with third in an opposite direction, got to that two by four door at just about the game time, and went to consternation finally broke the blockade and sent this six inched pounds clear to the back of Frank Curtis. The personal representative of Sergeant Kring, both of whom had been John Johnson said he didn't mean to run but the drast caused by the other fellows was so carried him in. BULLETES BROUGHT CHANGES The clothing part of the title adopted by the South is indeed well updated by the Supply Company for the first two or three days they "discuss" the new clothing and real ads at the art of finding shoppers.

For summer underwear no material is dainter and as it is in winter it is irresistible. It is quite the economical thing that can be worn, especially by the traveller and those who spend part of the warm season in the house. The crepe is expensive as silk and muslins. The daintest of combinations and corseur underdresses and even their rompers or play frocks are made of crepe. The narrow midnightgowns with narrow sleeves and underdresses is a perfectly plain waist to which full bloomers are attached. The child must have a narrow eagle wing of the low neck and armbands. This combination worn under any dress affords a comfortable look in the hottest weather. Now is the time to do your summer sewing. Don't wait until the weather sets in when both you and the children will be cross and uncomfortable.

Yet it is quite simple. After mastering the important points here set forth, the daily bath beaten is not a task to the mother. The successful washing of a baby is there are few nits which must be acted on if Baby is to get real good from his bath and come to no harm. In the first place every thing must be undressed.
