Mr. President Harding, here's our hand! The "Kitchen Cabinet" has not been named yet. Henry Lincoln Johnson is first in the minds of his countrymen. Washington will not come to the hungry, so the hungry will go to Washington. Now we will know whether office seeking is mighty poor business or not. This race of ours has got to be saved if it takes all the jobs in Washington to save it. Someone called the colored women to meet in a big conference. We wonder what good place our sisters are after. We don't know just what the fare to Washington was, but we do know that it is likely to be mighty had walking home. May you live eighty more years. Mr. Wilson, but, take it from us, eight years in the White House was an awful big pill for us colored folks to swallow. DR. MOTON DENIES THE ALLEGATION AND DEFIES THE "ALLEGATOR." Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee, denied last week in a telegram to the AFRO-AMERICAN, that he had asked President Harding to select a Southern white man as a member of his cabinet. Such a report was not only sent out by the white Associated Press from Mr. Harding's headquarters in Florida, but was featured by newspapers in all sections of the country. Republicans and Democrats were made to feel that Dr. Moton and the best thinking colored people of the South were anxious to back a Southerner for the cabinet place. Right on the back of this well laid plan, Dr. Moton telegraphs the "AFRO" that he had no such conference with Mr. Harding, and that he especially told the Associated Press representative that "I did not ask Mr. Harding to put a Southern white man in his cabinet." All of this just serves to expose the lengths to which the Southerners were willing to go in order to get one of their number in Mr. Harding's official family. Sometimes the Associated Press muddles news items concerning colored people thus ignorance. This time it happened clearly thru design, altho it took a hare faced lie to do it. ANOTHER M. BATES STEVENS? Is Mr. Albert S. Cook, state superintendent of Education, another M. Bates Stephens? Certainly in refusing to discuss the miserable conditions surrounding the school in Catonsville with Mr. Hugh Burkett, he has started in this direction. Mr. Cook is quoted as declaring that he could not waste the state's time in considering the condition of the Catonsville school, and any discussion of them might be considered by the Baltimore County School Commissioners as "butting in" on their affairs. This is the manner after which Mr. Cook's predecessor in office, the well remembered M. Bates Stephens conducted affairs. He began by neglecting the colored schools, and in the end paid but little attention to the white schools. It is to be hoped that Mr. Cook is not following his example. Mr. Cook ought not to find it so difficult to give all the schools, without respect to the race they serve, the same treatment. He had a meeting of white school officials some time ago to discuss the question of teachers' salaries. Later he had a similar meeting of colored teachers. With the training Mr. Cook has had, he should be big enough to rise above the petty politicians of his office and put all the schools on the same basis so far as his office is concerned. Eventually it must be done, so why not now. So far as the Catonsville controversy is concerned, Mr. Burkett can be relied upon to see that community is not imposed upon. The citizens there are sufficiently interested to stand behind him in the very proper demands he has made, and if necessary find some legal method of redress. MONEY CAN DO IT. Mrs. Henry Varner, white, of Lexington, N. C., is suing her husband for allamy, after he had asked for divorce claiming that R. Baxter McRary, a wealthy colored man of the same town had alienated her affections. After reading the testimony, and noting the fact that the trial took three days, and then the jury went out for three days more before it could bring in a verdict, we agree with Mr. McRary, that it would be fine if the Varners would settle their own domestic difficulties without annoying him. Another fact brought out in the trial is that with all the racial lines in the South, a colored man or woman with money, is usually invited across the "color line." HOW TO TELL? Over in Washington, the Post, a white daily, whose news articles have been held as partly responsible for the Washington riot is agitating a law against "gun toting" in the District. Any measure to prevent violence and dangerous crimes is praise worthy, but the Post favors a proposition of one Commissioner J. T. Hendrick, which to use his own words, "Would disarm the dangerous characters and permit reputable citizens to keep arms in their homes if they believe that this is necessary to their safety." The Post also quotes Representative Tom Sisson of Mississippi, who is famous or infamous for his point of order against an appropriation for Howard University. Mr. Sisson would not like the new law to go too far, whereby reputable citizens would be disarmed and murderers and highwaymen might still be able to obtain weapons. Naturally the citizens of Washington are much wrought up over the Post campaign. They see in it a scheme to disarm the colored people or large numbers of them, while leaving the newly organized branch of the Ku Klux full license to "have arms in their homes, if they believe this is necessary for their safety." The dividing line in many instances is so indistinct between the "reputable" and the "dsreputable," that it would be interesting to know just which citizens the Post would put in the latter class. SCRAMBLE "Scramble" is what Chairman Galen Tait, white, of the State Republican Committee says to the "Joke Committee of thirty-five" which he and other Republican leaders named to RECOMMEND THREE COLORED CANDIDATES FOR SOME INVISIBLE OFFICE IN WASHINGTON. Three considerations make the appointment of this committee a "joke." First of all the procedure. The white politicians in Maryland parcel, out all the Federal plums in Maryland and then appoint a colored committee to name three candidates for some invisible job in Washington. These white politicians evidently believe that a "third in the hand is worth two in the bush," because they gobble up everything in Maryland for themselves, and offer their colored co-workers PROMISES. Then the numbers; the seven white men, Senators France and Weller, Congressmen Mudd, Zihilman, Hill, Blakeney, National Committeeman Wm. P. Jackson and State Chairman Tait, could not agree on an equitable distribution of the jobs among themselves. Mr. Mudd kept the conference in session for six hours, and went away much peeved because he was not allowed to name the man for collector of the port of Baltimore. Senator France is also said not to like the Committee's "Weller program" that was put thru. Since these seven men could not agree, they diabolically set about insuring lack of harmony among colored folks by naming just five times as many of them to discuss federal patronage. Finally the composition of the committee named; the white committee which handled patronage consisted of Republican party heads or office holders in Washington. Colored people have no officials whom they have sent to Washington yet, but they have men whom they have elected to office, and these are the rightful political representatives of the people when any work is to be done. The appointment of a committee consisting of anybody else to be associated with these representatives is an insult to the body of voters who have selected their leaders, and an ill-concealed attempt to boltite those leaders. Mr. Tait, and his conterers expected a "scramble" and a rush of colored candidates for some political office in Washington, it would serve as lesson to him and his kind if the politicians, who are above the bread and butter-line should issue the rehuke WE PAID THE PRICE Celebrations all over the country paid tribute to the life and death of statesman, president, ex-commander of the Union. Other celebrations Frederick Douglass, the great man much as any other statesman, slavery and bring about a number of black folk in bondage.

Other celebrations honored the memory of Frederick Douglass, the great Marylander, who did as much as any other statesman and publicist to destroy slavery and bring about a new freedom for the millions of black folk in bondage. Lest we forget, however, the memory of the colored volunteers, who left their homes, shouldered muskets and marched away to Southern battlefields in the Civil War to effect their own liberty and citizenship, should be kept forever green. The "Records and history of the Maryland Volunteers in the War of 1861-5" a volume compiled under the direction of the Maryland Assembly says of the 4th, 5th, 9th, 19th, 30th and 39th Regiments of Maryland Colored Volunteers: "The history and record of the Colored Troops raised in Maryland is one of which the survivors can point with just pride. The severed losses incurred were above the average of the regimental losses in the army during the Civil War. . . . "These regiments were well officered and thoroly disciplined, and evinced on all occasions a desire to perform their duty as soldiers of a Republic of which would henceforth be citizens. They had to contend with prejudice that time and their own good conduct could alone allay. They appeared to appreciate the ordeal thru which they were passing, and not only their own countrymen, but the civilized world stood and wondered as the Colored. Union Volunteer passed by to battle." Of the 8718 colored volunteers who served in the Union Army, 1739 fell in battle or died of disease. They fought with Sherman in North Carolina, with Grant in the Wilderness. The 7th Maryland Colored Volunteers, said by General Gordon. Commander of the Southern Department, to be the "best colored regiment in the Union Army" was the first to reach the center of the city of Petersburg, and the furthest advanced into the Confederate lines when Lee surrendered at Appomatox. Had it not been for these black slaves, the war would never have been fought; without these black volunteers it could not have been won. With their own sacrifices and blood they nailed the price of liberty. Freedom to them and to us, their heirs, was a conquest not a bequest. GOING BACKWARD Olney's "Modern Geography" was a widely used text book in all schools in the early part of the nineteenth century. It must have been a popular text, because a copy of the 28th edition recently came into the hands of the "AFRO" editor. In it is an old waterfront view of Baltimore, with a reference to Fell's Point as the seat of the principal commercial activity of the city; a reference to Annapolis as a "handsome and well built city;" and a picture of the national capitol at Washington before the dome was added, etc. Interesting is this statement on America's population: "The population of America is usually estimated at forty million; consisting of three classes, viz Whites, Negroes, and Indians." A hundred years after this "modern" but now ancient geography was first printed, most books and publications published by white people spells the word NEGRO with a small initial letter "n." After all it appears that the older Americans had a finer sense of culture, and manners, and less of the thing we call racial prejudice. Here is one proof of it. CALL FOR THE SECOND PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS ISSUED The First Pan-American Congress, met February 19, 20, 21, 1919, at the Grand Hotel, Paris, and was attended by 57 delegates representing 16 different countries. This Congress appointed a permanent committee and ordered a Second Pan-American Congress to meet in Paris in accordance with the decision the Second Pan-American Congress will meet during the first week in September, 1921. There will be probably three successive sessions—one in London, one in Brussels and one in Paris. All the details of time and place have naturally not yet been settled. Membership in the Second Pan-American Congress will be restricted to regularly chosen delegates (with all privileges, except of voting) will be welcome. An organization of persons of Negro descent or of persons whose chief work is with and for the Negro races, will be entitled to send delegates according to the following tentative plan, which is subject to criticism and change in succeeding bulletins: organizations with a membership under 1,000 one delegates; 1,000 and 5,000, 2 delegates; 5,000, and 10,000, 4 delegates; 10,000 and under 50,000, 4 delegates; 100,000 and under 100,000, 5 delegates; 100,000 or more, seven or more delegates according to special agreement. acting as delegates. The expenses of each delegate will be borne by the organization which sends him or by the delegate himself. Each organization will be taxed a small sum for each delegate sent. This sum will be used to defray the general expenses of the meeting, and will probably be Ten Dollars per delegate. The expenses of attendance from New York and return will be between $300 and $750 per delegate, depending upon the class of accommodation and in and out of stay, etc. notices This bulletin is being sent to as many persons of prominence, and organizations as we can reach in the United States, the West Indies, South America, Africa and Europe.

Cordale, Ga., Dispatch (white) Henry Link is Recorder of Deeds for D.C. if he wants it, he says, and he can also have a few other little things including the patronage of the state of Georgia. Link is going to control it from Washington—because he wants it. The Negro Johnson may control Republican patronage in Georgia. The white voters of this state cannot keep the Republicans from elevating this "crap-shooting burr head" but they can leave off the white Republican party that is so much desired in Georgia so long as party patronage in this state is controlled by the National Republican party. Georgia white people are as respectable as the white of Illinois and Pennsylvania or Ohio—and much more so as long as they know how to run political affairs with white leadership and direction. Georgia has a pretty mass of it in this comely white man as a representative. What Georgia man will ever go to Washington and ask a favor of the Republicans—should any Georgian do it? Color Line Enters Movies (From Columbia S. C. State) Under a bill passed Wednesday by the House and sent to the Senate, moving picture films showing as characters women of the white or Negro race cannot be displayed in the theaters of the State used exclusively by the persons of the race other than that of the women characters in the films. It may also apply to theaters for whites which have galleries for Negroes. THE MORALITY OF ACTORS Well, it is not generally supposed that actors and stage stars are in practice more moral than preachers and Y. W. C. A. workers—but let us see the facts. Charles Glinp, a Negro is considered at the age of 16 and the "ten most distinguished contributors to dramatic art" last year. The New York "Drama League" gives an honorary dinner to "the ten best" each year. This dinner is to be given at the Hotel McAlpin on March 6. Well, as often happens, the "directors" of the League decided not to invite the Negro, altho he was not merely one of the "ten best," but one of the three or four best and in many minds the best. The directors announced that they would be a face letter, telling him how much everybody liked him and "appreciated" his success, etc., etc, but that he could not eat dinner with them as one of the honored ten. And the directors, no doubt, thought they would be supported in this immoral act by the other nine and the 150 or so actors who were to be invited to the dinner. But bless you! Seven of the others to be honored and having, who are not actors, have bravely answered in the press that they will not go to this dinner if Glinp is not invited. In the name of the Christ, let the Y. W. C. a sisters take notice and be ashamed. The Y. W. folk may talk morals, but the stage stars he them doing it. When Mrs. Talbert, the most prominent colored woman in the United States, stood outside the American Y. W. C. A. door in Paris, tired and weeping because they broke her in with a knife, delegates to get of coffee, not one of those sisters Christ stared out or offered to stay out. They went in and enjoyed their own coffee, and some even boasted of the insult and slight to the colored women. In sober earnest we ask, how many white preachers will stay away when a similar insult is offered to a colored preacher? An example in Christianity has been set for these preachers by Mary Garden, Varsel, Dudley Digges, Jacob Ben-Ami, and a host of other stage plays. By the way, Ben-Ami is feared "Samson and Dellah," but preachers preach on that subject, but I would certainly be more impressed by an actor who acts as Ben-Ami acted in this case. That alimy thing called color prejudice and race hate, may infect the Y. W. C. A., but it seems that it will not be tolerated by 80 per cent of the actors and theatre people. Associated Negro Press TEXT OF RESOLUTION Together With Letter Of Galen Tate, White; Authorizing A Joke Committee Of 35 To Agree Upon Three Candidates For Some Federal Office In Washington I am instructed as Secretary of a Conference consisting of National Committeeman Wm. P. Jackson, State Chairman Gale L. Talt, United States Senators Jos. I. France and O. Cohen and Congressman J. Mudd and the Mudd, the official representatives of the Republican party of Maryland in national affairs, which: Conference met today, February 23, 1921, to transmit to you a copy of the enclosed resolution, to which you are requested to submit, that the leading pointer you congratulate must meet the recommendations to the Conference for appointments of colored Republican to Federal office by President Harding. Messrs. Jos. P. Evans, Wm. L. Flizerger, Frentel Ross, George A. Watty and L. Wilson are requested to participate in Initiative in the proposed committee, naming a time and place for meeting, with the suggestion that the committee, upon meeting and associating such other members as it may deem wise, shall then transmit to this Conference the recommendations proposed in the resolution to each member of the proposed committee. Requesting your early action, I am, RESOLUTION Whereas, the colored citizens of Maryland have a share in the legal rights and privileges of all Americans—a right found in the constitution, public law and, whereas, the colored citizens of Maryland and their leaders have for many years and in the last campaign support with loyalty and intelligence to the government, with other elements of citizenship, regardless of race and creed, entitled to proper political recognition by the incoming national administration, strongly unceasing to extend such recognition to the colored Republicans of Maryland. Therefore, Resolved, that a committee of leading Republican publicists, including the attached list, and such other publicists as they may associate with them recommend to this conference for appointment to Federal offices such as the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia for the Treasury or presidential appointments which in the past have been held by colored Republicans—three colored Republicans of Maryland in the order of their preference and with positions preferred for consideration for presentation by this President. The Secretary of this Conference is instructed to send a copy of this Resolution to each member of the proposed committee requesting early action thereon. WASHINGTON A THEATRICAL CAPITAL WITH CAPITAL J. J. JACKSON IN THE BILLBOARD Negro theatricals find a greater range of expression in the capital than any where else in the country. New York and Chicago will regard this as heresy, but the best goes as it. Just listen a minute. In the town we find that headquarters of S. H. Dudley, the man who first conceived the idea of a colorful house. Mr. Dudley controls the booking of nineteen houses, four of which he owns. He keeps constantly employed nearly eighty acts. Furthermore, he is the vice-president of the Southern Circuit of the Association, one of which shows every summer that employs from sixty to one hundred people. There is a theater and an apartment house in the city bearing his name, and a farm nearby where he rests between deals. His office force numbers six per The Howard Theater, operated by the Thomas Bros. was the first big house in the country to be opened by colored management. The house is a big success and has played a significant role in presenting, as well as the name of our leading vaudeville acts. It has been a factor in the development of the Quality Circuit, but after the completion of the extensive repairs now being made the policy of independent booking will be realized. The manager of the Hawthorne, a picture house, and the Dunbar, also given to pictures. His other house, the Foroke, plays vaudeville. His associates in the enterprises are the Murray Theater and the printing plant and a most beautiful concert and athletic hall. The Murray Bros. and Mr. Dudley have purchased property and are rapidly going ahead with their plans to have the $500,000 Dudley-Murray Theater ready for next season. The address manager may be stated here in several banks and insurance companies of the races located in this town look with favor upon theatrical investments. A Baltimore corporation of white men, with a colored manager—W. A. Pincickade has just about completed a new house with a seating capacity of fifty seats that is fitted to play either vaudeville or pictures. The New Florida, at Flatbush and H streets. N. W. opened its doors on February 8. The capital city Chel Club is the home of nine six different orchestras and fifty cities in season at Atlantic City. The Oriental Garden and the cafe on Seventh, above H. street, N. W. have drawn some of the best cabaret taken from Chicago and from New York.

The most obstinate is bound to admit that such a well-balanced combination certainly gives the city some right to prominence when the theatrical interests of the Negro are being considered. Said Of Woman edge of the land," and" said the sentimental landlady, "to think that the poor lamb should be destroyed in its youth just to eater to our appetites." "Yes," said the student, struggling with his portion, "it is tough." Of Chicago army of unemployed, 20,000 are colored. This is a deduction from a survey undertaken by the Wabash avenue department of the Y. M. C. A., which organization endeavoring to do its part in meeting and connecting the situation among the laboring classes as a result of the industrial slump. That the proportion of colored unemployed is not greater than that of other races seems to be the rule, despite the fact that 20,000 represents a large number to be idle out of a working population of 60,000. Given this that Chicago is a sort of mobilization center because of its widely advertised diversity of opportunities for labor and streams of colored men, thrown out of work by the closing down of automobile plants in Detroit, Pontiac, Flint, Toledo and hoping near-by points, have drifted to Chicago, hoping to find openings that prevail in numerous cities. Furnished by George Arthur of the Y. M. C. A. fix the number of this element at 8,000 leaving 12,000 who are legitimately connected here by employment anteceding and existing during the hegira of colored labor from the south to fill the labor gaps in essential industries occasioned by the war. SOUTH SEEKS TO LURE THEM BACK... The south, which never has yielded its colored labor brawness, is taking advantage of present conditions to recover it and bring it back to that section; but there is little disposition of the migrants to return. Agents from the south have been haunting south side streets with inducements, repeating the biblical story of the prodigal son, with suns and inviting variations, with this enterprise in show once. The writer trailed two of these agents into a south side employment center. The manager of this establishment with an eye to business had up a scent of oiling place in the door of his office in which the unemployed may find warm stove, newspapers, pipes and tobacco. As the labor agent and his colored satellite entered the office, strains of a chorus with a hanoi accompaniment issued from the rear room. "I am lookin' to some black boys to go back down south," he conduced to the manager. "he heath some' o' them singin' back there, and it sounds like home. I bet I can get too' five of them booked up. Can I go back where they are singing." "Sure," replied the obliging manager, "but do you know what they are singing?" "No; but I'm shuah it is a good old southern tune." "Well," suggested the manager, "maybe you'd better listen." He did listen, and this is what he heard: "Long gone from Kentucky! Long gon: nant I lucky? Long gon: that's what I mean— This Negro's long gone from Bowling Green." COLORDED CITIZENS SAVE MONEY The Y. M. C. A.'s survey shows that the savings accounts of the colored people on the south side are largely intact. The bank officials say that these little thermometers of prosperity have not materially risen since the labor slump but in most cases they are holding one. One south side bank, recently opened for business, had in its first days' deposits more than $280, 600 almost entirely from colored people. Investigators from various organizations report a noticeable disappearance of expensive furniture from the apartments occupied by the colored working glasses on the south side. Whether this has been sold or allowed to refund itself at the installment houses is a question. At any event, this would indicate an inclination to meet changed conditions. South side loan banks are receiving sunny trinketed valuation in excess of any season since of advent of year prosperity, but even the amounts loaned in such manner have not been large in view of existing conditions. With many evidences of the disposition of the new labor to weather the storm and accept the existing bitter along with the erosive sweet; to assume some of the responso times; to counterbalance the negative disadvantages of counterbalanced opportunities, it would appear about as likely for the Negroes to recross the Ohio river as it was for the children of Israel to turn back to the Red Sea and Egypt.

SHIRBYHODGE This is the Eleventh Installment of "The White Man's Burden" "This new proclamation, directed to Russia alone, was peremptory, and demanded, although the year allowed for retirement in the former notice had not expired, that, in consequence of the recent action of the European powers, the Russian army and all the Russian and other white settlers should leave immediately. Two weeks were allowed for the re-entry, said remove and sold-remove before the large number that time, they were to be expelled by force. The Chinese army was already in motion, an unknown force had been mobilized long before, but the only reply was a rapid concentration of the Russians, and the hurried despatches of additional troops from the West. One week passed by and the Chinese, seeing that no imposition of compliance was detected, but that everything showed an intention to renew a final notice, with the "It seems that during this prolonged interval of peace, with all sources of information cut off from the white nations, the great Empires of Asia, China, India and Japan, with numerous auxiliaries, had been gradually greeping toward the eastern continents of Europe, and they now had an enormous multitude stretched to the time unintended, and size never was known—all thoroughly disciplined and under the command of capable men. "Just at this critical time, then, when Europe had expected to take Asia unawares, came a proclamation from the three Emperors, addressed to no individual, but to the entire population for war were well known, that they had been constantly watched from the beginning, that it was clearly evident that the dreadful chastisement brutulent ultimatum that the patience of the Emperor having withdrawal relicted, no further communication with the Russians would be maintained, that a forward movement had already begun, and as a permanent and terrific lesson to the white race, the European military forces in Northern Asia, as far as they had been brought together in battle array, were to be surrounded, captured, and exterminated, no quarter being given or asked. The European forces were estimated to have been about 600,000 men, and the Chinese and Japanese together probably mounted into the millions. of fifty years ago had produced no lasting effect, that they retained all their former characteristics as a meddling, dominating race, that there could be no peace for anyone in their neighborhood, and consequently the three Emperors, much to their regret on account of the bloodshed and suffering that must ensue, had come to the unanimous and irreverent decision, in which they had the enthusiastic support of their armies and people that the white race must leave the old World and betake themselves to the New one, upon pain of extermination if they refused. the indescribable savagery of the messengers recalled the days of the old barbarians, Gengis Khan and the like who had navigated the earth centuries before. It was seen that the old instincts of the Asiatic had survived and had burst the slight bonds imposed by a veiler of civilization and that Europe was once more desiried to face the horrible specter of Asiatic conquest. This was the view of the nations of Europe and America, the other side was presented by a preclamation jointly issued by Japan and China, stating in plain language that no vipération and no pleading would suffice to alter their determination to rid Asia forever of what they described as the mischief-making white masterful. It was acknowledged, but ignorant, cruel, selfish and domineering. The massacre of the Slavian forces had been absolutely necessary to convince Europe of the SYNOPSIS OF THE PRE-CEEDING CHAPTERS Begin now on the most gripping serial you have ever read. In the Year of our Lord 2300, Negroes of the United States competed so badly with the white men of the business of the country that mutual segregation was agreed to and the colored people were given a state in the South for them to give. Here they built up a strong government which after a while was powerful enough to defeat the United States in open warfare. Victory came to the black soldiers from the age of the new invention of artillery which used centrifugal force and required no explosive. As a result of the conflict the black people, former American Negroes demanded that the United States pay the transportation back to Africa, and 1,000 vessels were used for this purpose. In Africa the former black Americans set up a government, which is nevertheless the most peace loving and orderly, powerful in the world. 1 "So a shout of defiance was their answer. The Emperor, who had expected this reply and made thorough preparations for it immediately issued another notice, which was sent, however, to but one nation, Russia. Although Russia, like the other whites had been compelled to give up that holdings in Manchuria and Malaysia and retire, like the other white people, beyond the Chinese border, they still held Siberia, and had large partitions along the border and strong northern border of the Chinese Empire, and had been for centuries making little forays and skirmishing along the border with the Chinese and Japanese forces that were constantly stationed there. "This new proclamation, directed to Russia alone, was a peremptory, and demanded, although the year allowed for retaliation, the former notice had not expired, that, in consequence of the action of the European powers, the Russian army and all the Russian and other well settlers should leave immediately. Two weeks were allowed for the removal, and if salid removal were not begun before the leapse of that time, they were to be expelled by force. The Chinese army was already in motion, an unknown force had been mobilized long before, but the only rupture was a rapid concentration of the Russians, and the hurried despatch of additional troops from the West. One week before the commencement of the compliance with the proclamation could be detected, but that everything showed an intention to resist, issued a final notice, with the crucial ultimatum that the patience of the Emperor with withdrawal rejected, no further communication with the Russians would be maintained, that a forward movement had already begun and a permanent and less lesson to the European forces in Northern Asia, as far as they had been brought together in battle array, were to be surrounded, captured, and exterminated, no quarter being given or asked. The European forces were estimated to have been about 600,000 men, and the Chinese and Japanese together probably mounted into the millions. possibly four or five millions. The Europeans were surrounded after desperate resistance, and were massacred to the last man. Not one survived to report upon the battle, and the only news Europe received sent by telegraph men in the vicinity who announced that the Chinese had ceased operations after the extinction of the army, and had done not further injury to persons or property, but that all Europeans were hastily abandoning the country and departing for the west. "There was a universal cry of horror throughout Europe and America. The indescribable savagery of the massacre recalled the days of the old barbarians, Genghis Khan and the like, who had ravaged the earth centuries before. It was seen that the old instincts of the Asiatic had survived and had burst the slight bonds imposed by a vener of war and that Europe, more deserte, had the horrible speeder of Asiatic conquest. This was the view of the nations of Europe and America. The other side was presented by a preclamation jointly issued by Japan and China, stating in plain language lined their suiten retirement. Get pirates; and the water thereof was many, proud and haughty as she was disguised to be, joined in the movement, and slowly removed her troops and citizens from India, exhibiting a reluctance which called forth a little prodding from the native population assisted by a detachment of troops from China, and snarling and showing her teeth like a tiger driven from the jungle. But she went, like the rest. After the war of Asia course commercial relations with Europe and America were out of entirely, and all means of intercommunication were severed, so that for fifty years the nations of Europe knew little of what was going on the other side of the oral Mountains. Occ "This preceded communication was received with bowls of defence and an denition. A feverish activity set in immediately. The people of Europe no longer displeased their enemy, and informed them all had to be left behind. They were confronted them. But the Enangers were already fully prepared and without further delay, crossed the mountains and deployed immense forces all along the line, armies so large and closely in touch with one another, that a contest seemed almost hopeless. But the whites never lacked courage, and now there was added a large scale, and entailed untidy ment from the Almighty, and not a few. With a courteous bow, he ended his greedy appeal to point it to as a full, discourse, and in deep meditation on the problem in the Revolution of St. John. He recounted to me, I followed my host from the hall. invariably frustrated. Most of the spies we caught and destroyed, at any rate they never reappeared, and the few who managed to escape all perils and return to Europe brought no information, for they had not been able to penetrate beyond the outer fringe of the countries they attempted to enter. And so paused another fifty years or so. A new generation had come upon the scene, and the great catastrophe was almost forgotten, excepting for the occasional prophet of woe who would remind his contemporaries throughly learned and that the yellow porl still lurked behind the forbidding mountain chains that separated them from Europe. "The lesson, as it appeared had really been given in vain. The white nations had fully recuperated from the terrible blow they had received and, although their financial burdens were almost beyond endurance, their progress in the art and science of wwr had been such, thanks to their constant practice on one another, that confidence had been regained. They had been supplied with pledges of enormous masses of money and military supplies, with a view of bringing the mastery of the world once more to the supreme test. Their oldest strategies worked for years over the problems involved, and their plans were almost rice, when another bolt from the blue was launched upon Europe from the hitherto silent and mysterious East. "It itges that during the prolonged interval of peace, with all sources of information cut off from the white nations, the great Empires of Asia to China, and Japan, with numerous auxiliaries, had been gradually encreeing toward the eastern countries of Europe, and they now had an enormous, multitude stretched along the line, until millions—the size of their armies never was known—all thoroughly disciplined and under the command of capable men. "Just at this critical time, then when Europe had expected to take Asia unwares, came a proclamation from the three Emperors, addressed to no individual, but to the entire white race, a notice that their preoccupation or war were known to them, they had been constantly watched from the beginning, that it was clearly evident that the dreadful chagaisement of fifty years ago had produced no lasting effect, that they retained all their former characteristics as a meddling, dominine race, that there could be no peace for anyone in their neighborhood, and consequently the three Emperors, much to their regret on account of the bloodshed and suffering that must ensue, had come to the unanimous and irreveable decision, in which they had the enthusiastic support of their armies and people that the white race must leave the Old World and bathe themselves to the New one, upon pain of extermination if they refused. "This preceded communication was received with howls of defiance an decision. A feverish set in immediately. The people of Europe no longer despipped their enemy, and recognized the magnitude of the task that confronted them. But the Emperors were already fully prepared and without further delay, crossed the mountains and deployed immense forces all along the line, armies so large and closely in touch with one another that a contest seemed almost less. But the whites never lacked the valor of despair. They hurled themselves again and again at the steady advancing (so, but were able to produce no apparent impression upon them. The steady progress of the Asiatic forces proved irresistible, and at length, finding themselves banked, the European armies, numbering about 3,000,000 of men, were concentrated in what seemed to be an advantageous position in the Eastern portion of Germany and resolved to await the attack and risk their fortunes in a single great battle. Their frontele efforts were all useless, the odds were too great, the yellow armies in dense masses swing around their sides and rear with relentless precision, enveloping them entirely, and this huge army was shot and killed, pieces only a few thousand and draggles escaping into the immense body of men. At this decisive conflict, the Emperors rested, and waited the answer to their ultimatum. ae "The blow to the whites was terrific, but not alone, to military strength, but to soldier with confidence, their pride, their overwhelming self-esteem. All Europe beheaded by their own hands, the old city of further resistance was "pain." Their religious teachers recognized it as a classification from the Almighty, and not a few were ready to point to it as a "fulfillment of the prophecy in the Revelation of St. John." And the sixth poured out his blood and upon the great river the river. Eu "How plainly it is all foretold, they said. The kings are come from the sunrising. The dragon is China, the beast is Japan, and the false prophet, that is India, with her Buddha. The frogs the yellow bellies. The sixth bowl has been emptied, the war was the war of the great day of God, the Almighty, and the place was the plain of Armageddon. "Many attempts were afterward made to estimate the size of the Oriental armies. The military men for the most part agree that for the carrying out of their encircling movement in the smooth and machine-like manner it was conducted, not less than twenty millions of men were necessary, and a few even put the figures as high as forty million. The Europeans were at a loss to understand how this vast force could have been fed, clothed and properly supplied with the munitions of war, but, so far as was ever ascertained, the explanation lay in the fact that the Oriental army was really a moving population. The long years through which the affairs of Asia had been a sealed book to Europe had been occupied with successive migrations of the military forces, with all their women and children, across the continent to the Eastern frontier of Europe. At the necessary intervals they halted as long as was necessary to break up the land and sow and harvest a crop. vast herds of horses and cattle were along and thus ample supplies of food, of the frugal materials to be sufficient to satisfy and sustain the Oriental were always at hand. Portable factories for arms and ammunition were transported, with some difficulty, from place to place, reads constructed and water courses dammed and bridged, and all done so shortly and elaborately that when they finally arrived at their destination they were prepared for immediate action. They had more than fifty years for this operation, and the event showed that it had been well planned and well executed. Once again the majority European bowed before the superior might of the Aslatic." At this point my host interrupted to say that our time was growing short, and we still had our visit to the storehouse to make. The librarian, who had delivered his harangue with great enthusiasm, nodded and went on. "There is not much more that I can tell you.

Armstrong, Agricultural Agent for Southern Maryland. Since prices of farm produce have been almost almost to the situation can be met by each farmer rearranging his plan by which he raise all the food for himself and his family and feed for his live stock. This will enable him to get along without the expenditure of much cash. The receipts of his money crop may then be used one half to swell his bank account and one half to purchase clothes etc. CLEANING SOUTHERN MARY LAND OF HOG CHOLEMA Let the farmers in each election district of each southern Maryland County get to gather, organize a Hog Growers Association for the purpose of cleaning the district and the counties of Hog Cholera one of the farmers worst enemies. Your agricultural agents and veterinarians assigned to the state and counties are anxious to aid all Hog Growers Association in cleaning the district and to eradicate that so much dreaded disease which has done farmers more harm than all other animal diseases combined. In Steuben County, Ind., the loss from log cholera in 1917 was $10,000 in 1918 it was a little less than $5,000 and in 1919 it was about the same. In 1920, however, only three cases occurred in the county which leads us to believe that if you will organize and put forth united efforts to control the disease cholera, among hogs will be a relative to any of your farm problems write your agricultural agent. Do you know him? His name is James F. Armstrong Seat Pleasant, Md., also it is your privilege to write the County agent of your respective counties. All of them will be glad to come to your rescue.

HARDING TO USE "BAPTIST" BIBLE White Baptists Beat Out Colored Brethren In Race To Furnish Imaginal Bible While members of the Baptist Ministers' Meeting at Union Baptist Church, this city, regret the fact that President-elect Harding did not accept their offer to furnish the Bible for the church, the chief magistrate of this country on Friday of this week, he will be sworn on a Bible furnished by the Southern Baptist Convention, white. Mr. Harding is a Baptist. President McKinley took the oath on a Bible presented by the late Bishop Benjamin W. Arnell, on behalf of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The Bishop and the President and his friends brought him and Mr. Harding was himself a Methodist. It is related that Bishop Arnelt used his influence to get so many good federal posts that when a African-American colored leader of colored leaders in the M. I. E. Church called upon President McKinley to learn why colored members of the Methodist Episcopal Church had been slighted, the latter replied that he done everything the churchists that he not asked. The President saw the light, hitherto that the A. M. E. Church and the M. E. Church are different denominations. BANK ORGANIZED Wilson, N.

Lung Base Treatment Cures Tuberculosis In First And Second State I was sick for years. As a white man it was natural for me to go to white doctors. And I went to the best in Baltimore. And I went to the things I needed, and something about my illness. I tried hospitals. They did me no good, and I grew worse all the time. A friend he had cured recommended me to try Dr. David N. E Campbell, 1369 North Carey Street. At first I hesitated, but I finally went to him. After examining me he laughed and said he was sorry for me. He told me things about my complaint. He chatted upon him. He has treated me and made practically a new man out of me. I am now a street car conductor. Since then, he has cured my friend's four year old son Harry, who had come to walk. The child now has no more spasms and is running about. The parents are delighted and think Dr. Campbell is one out of hundreds. He has done me wonders, and I am not afraid to tell JOHN H. Tells Reporter What Some Of Them Are—Plain "Mr." Good Enough For Him "How are you feeling, Doc?" a reporter of the AFR-O-AMERICAN asked Old Timer the other day. "Where did you get that Doc' stuff" Old Timer asked slightly. "Don't you know that the professors down at the University of 'Virginia have dropped all the professors" and "Doe' stuff, clamming that there are too many talks about?" There is something about that, meekly replied. "You don't know natin' I've ever did to make me worthy of any entitlement. Old Timer went on to say, 'It is Rev. Dr. Sling-the word, even though the man cannot read the Bible'." "Oh, no," he said, "one who says 'Choose our partners' on the dance floor and it is Joe Foolen for a fortune teller." "You are kinder hard on the great and educated," the reporter said. and educated," the reporter said, "Let me tell you what some of these professors have done. They've my old friend, Rev. Ernest Lyon, W. G. L. His entitlements means Want to go to biology; Joseph P. Evans, American Marshall; Mission A. Hawkins, S. D. doctor of teacher's salaries; Roy S. Bond, D.

Why, he can give you more lines of talk while cutting your hair four ways and the enibulant abscesses. None of that "professor" or "doc" business for me." "Are you going to that conference to recruit jobs for Maryland colored people?" the reporter asked. "The white folks did not invite me down to Washington to attend that powwow where they perused off of among themselves. They gave the big federal grant to Maryland a gold brick by telling them to get together and go after invisible jobs which Link" Johnson, "Charley Anderson, Bill Lewis, "Tunt Fleening, Charley Anderson, friends omitted" O.

Friday March 4th. 1921 Working on Income Tax Many Baltimoreans Are Now Struggling With Blanks Many Baltimoreans are now wrestling with their income tax blanks, returns having to be filed by March 15. The list of those who will have to pay income tax includes many Baltimoreans, Doctors, lawyers, business men, ministers and others are among those who will have fork up to their Uncle Samuel. Most Baltimoreans are reticent when it comes to telling the amount they will have to pay, but there are some who assert that they are glad to be able to pay. The biggest tax among colored people will be paid probably by a man well known in the insurance and banking field. A hotel proprietor probably comes next and then there is a doctor whose income is said to be in the five-figures column. A reporter for the AFRO-AMERICA! ran into J. H. Bishop, manufacturer of hair preparations the other day. "See what you've made me do," said the reporter. The reporter confessed he did not. "Why, you published me as doing so much business last year that I had to pay a man fifteen dollars in order to help me make my income tax blank out." CAN'T USE DUNBAR SCHOOL Parents' Resolution Balks Plans Of The Public Athletic League Plans of the Public Athletic League to use the assembly room of the Dunbar School for a gymnasium in which to house the athletic activities of the East Baltimore community were frustrated recently by the parents' organization. Officials of the League have been searching for a place for sometime and finally obtained the consent of the School Board to use the Dunbar School auditorium. This permit, it is said, was later withdrawn by the new School Board, following the receipt of a protest signed by Mr. John Jones, president, and other officers of the Parents' Association of the school. "The room is not fitted for athletic work." Mr. Jones declared a representative of the APRO-AMERICAN. "Mr. Jones would the children lights and windows now be marred by rough usage; by the community would be deprived of its only place of assembly in this section of the city." Dr. Burdick, director of the Public Athletic League, declared his regret at the action of the school association officials simply out of concern carrying out an indoor program for the colored boy this year." BISHOP BROOKS LOSES DISTRICT Dallas, Texas. March 3.—White Bishop W. S. Simpson Brooks is in Liverpool, England, awaiting passage to his new missionary field in Liberia, the Bishons' Council of the A. M. E. Church not here last week, and placed Oklahoma under the episcopal direction of Bishon H. B. Parks.

All of the bishops and departmental offices were present, John R. Hankins, financial secretary reported $220,000 raised in "Dollar money" for last year, an increase of $18,000 over the previous year. This does not include church monies raised for local purposes, education and missions. Every bishon pledged summer of his district toward the $5,000,000 drive. JOHN P. FORRESTER ILLI John T. Forrester, for many years messenger to the Collector of the Port and long an influential factor in Queen Anne County politics, is left his duties here two months ago quite ill at his home in Centerville, when attacked with heart trouble. Mr. Forrester was lived at Centerville since 1872. He taught school there a number of years, became interested in politics, and was appointed to a job in the custom services. He was removed during Cleveland's last administration, but came back after the inauguration of President Kennedy. For a number of years he was a member of the State Central Committee for Queen Anne, County, and regarded as one of the most influential colored politicians in the State. A jury in the City Court brought in a voleit of $288 for George Lewis, who had been injured while working for Walter R. Braizer, a white plumber. The award covers accidents benefits for 24 weeks.

The Manor Maryland senator would have the United States and the allied nations extend a credit of $5,000,000,000 to Germany in payment for the colonies of Togoland, Kamerun, German East and Southwest Africa, Samaan Islands and German Pacific Islands. In the event of such purchase Senator France provides for the active help of the United, States and allies in the reclamation of waste lands, utilization of natural resources, and promotion of education and civilization. CROWDS BRAVE.STORM Macedonia Church Full At Tuberculosis Meeting Sunday Regardless of the downpour of rain and the raw weather of last Sunday afternoon, Macedonia Baptist Church was crowded to hear Sir Arthur Newsholme, noted English health expert, and Rabbi Rosanne, of the Eulaw Place Jewish Synagogue. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Maryland Tuberculosis Association for the purpose of creating public interest in its efforts to hoste and build a prevoronium for the colored children of the state, who have consumption in its first stages. The English expert dwelt on the fact that consumption is preventable and curable if taken in hand soon enough. Both he and Dr. Rossonan endorsed the preventorium plan. The latter promised the support of himself and his friends in the financial drive to be started later in the year to build the institution. Other speakers at the meeting included A. B.

Mrs. Alta Scott Haves, former soloist of the Howard University choir sang a solo. MINISTER SPEAKS AT BAPTIST CONFERENCE Rev. R. W. Jefferson in an address before the Colored Baptist Ministers conference at Ebenezer Baptist Church last Sunday, expressed the opinion that the Baptist ministers of the city should work unifiedly for upbuilding of the work of the denomination in the city and State. He asserted that the Baptists would lose some of their ground if they did not awaken to the fact that renewed energy and vigilance are needed. Rev. Beale Elliott plead for interest of race leaders in race work, religiously, industrially and educationally. He asserted that the leader must honestly and courageously lead and the rank and file of the people would heartily support any race endeavor rightly presented to them. He declared that the race should rely on itself for and support ow enterprises. "Take away Nexro support from business on Pennsylvania Avenue and see what would happen," he told the ministers. One speaker asserted that some of the Baptist ministers in the city, as well as some from other denominations were of the type to, inspire confidence in the masses of the people.
