A. M. E. Zion Church, Pico and Paloma, Destroyed by Fire ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 32 CH A. Thursday evening Prof. Bynum lighted the oil furnace of the A. M. E. Zion Church, as usual, and prepared to make ready for the coming of the chorus members. Shortly afterwards, Mrs. Billings, choir member, came in and defected an oil burning odor in th atmosphere and in inquired of Prof. Bynum if he was burning gas. Prof. Bynum also noted the odor of oil, now becoming so apparent, and rushed to the basement. He noted that the furnace seemed to be burning in an unusual manner, and immediately turned off the oil, but in a few minutes flames broke forth and spread instantaneously, covering the roof and devouring as it progressed. The loss is great. The property of the A. M. E. Zion Church was estimated to be worth $50,000, and the damage incurred was $30,000, and insurance of property only $12,000. The community at large are sad over this event. That just at this time, when Zion, under the leadership of so capable, enthusiastic, strong and well beloved young man as the Rev. J. E. McCorkle, this cafamily should come upon them. Zion was beginning to attract the attention and merit the encouragement and laudation of the foremost citizens and Church workers by the new zeal and effort that she has been observed to have taken on in the last few months. By the untiring efforts of the young pastor and faithfulness of the old pillars of Zion, a new sun of renewed faith, happiness, peace and prosperity had been seen arising over the hills, and as it cast its rays abroad Zion arose joyously to do the bidding of the Master. Rev. McCorkle has proven himself to be the true goods since his coming to our community, and out of appreciation of the qualities the people of the community have responded to for the Master andnapltedaoldgyow him. The members of his congregation had aroused to his call for labors crop that threatened an abundance in the harvesting. The Church had really aroused to great activities. Many plans were on foot for raising of finance and standard of community life. The pastor preceded his wife to the new vineyard and had made a place in the hearts of the people big enough for two, so that at this time Mrs. McCorkle is on her way to join her husband in his work. Things in this world are sometimes strange, but let us say, "All things work together for good to those who love the Lord." The splendid musical program that was to have been rendered at the Church on Tuesday evening will be given at the First A. M. E. Church, 8th and Towne Ave., on Tuesday evening. Services for Sunday will be held at the Y. M. C. A., 9th and Hmlock Sts. Morning at 11 o'clock; evening at 7:30. THE MEN'S PROGRESSIVE CLUB HOLDS FORTH AT LARD. Small acorns grow into great oaks.

Craw, who installed the officers; others who were present and spoke in brief were Revs. Hopper, Cothran, Simpson and others. Rev. J. W.

Pioneer Real Estate Man, Who Thursday morning, Dec. 23, while the shades of night were still drawn closely about mother earth and all things were quiet, not unlike the stillness of death, Mr. Williams, who was not only a pioneer real estate dealer, but also a pioneer Christian in this community, after having been confined to his home for the past few weeks, quietly departed this life.

WILIAMS Passed Away Thursday Mornign came Mr. Williams had notified his dear ones that he was going to leave them. Last Wednesday morning, when the death angel appeared, Mr. Williams asked that "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," be sung, and as those about him granted his request / he quietly closed his eyes in death, and thus there came to a close the career of one of the most notable characters of the East Side. says that "Injustice" will be the best play he has ever wrote. It is the play that will make every man or woman hang his or her head in shame who carries a spark of prejudice in his heart against the most loyal unit of the American citizenry, which is the American Negro. Come out and hear for yourself, then get behind something that will make conditions better for your children in years to come. Not one atrocious scene, nothing vicious, nothing criminal, nothing ignorant, nothing to remind our children of slavery days, but a straightforward plea for the Negro on account of his merits, his loyalty, and lastly, because of his relations with God.

Come early, so as to procure a seat. A special invitation is extended to all the boys in uniform who have come back from France and camp life. The Choir will be at its best on this occasion. Under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. Club last Monday and Tuesday evenings. Miss Minnie Albritton appeared in song recital. The many friends and admirers of Miss Albritton, of long standing in this city, had looked forward to her appearance in recital at this time with no, small degree of interest. The qualities that go to make up a great Prima Donna were discovered in this young woman when she was yet a child. Early in life, when she appeared in concert roles in this, her home city, persons trained in the art of singing discovered that Miss Albritton possessed a voice of natural sweetness; ease and grace were even then innate qualities. For the past three years Miss Albritton has studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, where she has one more year before completing a course in vocal training, prescribed by that great institution. Last Monday and Tuesday evenings was Miss Albritton's first appearance since returning to her home in this city, where she came for a much-needed rest before entering up on her last year of work at the Conservatory. On Monday evening Miss Albritton sang to a crowded house. Her voice was rich, sweet and melodious; every note was well rounded and tang true. Especially did she appear to great advantage in the renditions of "Sing Me to Sleep" and the "Cuckoo"—also her French, Italian and Indian Love Sogus were rendered in such masterly fashion that one would think that a native of either language was singing. On Tuesday evening the program ```markdown ``` MISS MINNIE ALBRITTON JANUARY 25, 1919 BU aloma, Destr BURN was made up of Child Songs, and in this role Miss Iabritton proved to be a professional. But perhaps the song which touched the emotion of the audience, and even brought some to a state of ecstacy and they rose to their feet, was the song that gave Miss Albritton Behymer's decision as the best in a song contest, when she competed with the best of the city in 1913. "I Hear You Calling Me." Miss Albritton was assisted by Mrs. M. E. R Roberts-Saunders as accompanist. Mrs. Saunders has the reputation of being one of the best accompanists in this section of the country. Her touch is easy, but sure. On Monday evening Miss Manila Owens rendered several piano selections. Miss Owens' reputation as a pianist in the East is already established, and it is to be regretted that one with her ability has so little to draw from in a city like this. Her mastery and technique of the piano, as was demonstrated at Monday evening's recital, easily places her with the first of the land in the art of piano palying. In speaking of Herbert A. Rose, violinist of the occasion, it is only necessary to state that he is the Race's coming violinist of the West. Those who assisted on Tuesday evening's program were little Earnstine Jones, star pupil of Wilkins' School of Music; Master Rose, little Robert V. Edwards, the child wonder. The young women of the Y.W.C. A. Club are to be congratulated upon this effort, and commended because of the worthiness of the cause they espouse. It is needless to state that Miss Albritton is one of the Eagle's favorites, and at this time we predict for her a future along with Schumann-Heink, Bernhardt and Galli Curci. FAIR PLAY IN THE COURT ROOM The recent decision of L. H. Valentine of our Los Angeles Superior Court, in awarding John Hall, one of our colored janitors at the Court House, a judgment of $1888 for the breaking of his leg at the hands of a drunken salesman, operating an automobile far a local wealthy oil corporation, is indeed refreshing. It evidences the fact that in Judge Valentine the citizens of Los Angeles county have an able, fearless and conscientious Judge, in whose hands the interest of the poor, and of the rich, and of the black and the whites alike, are sacred. May there be more men of Judge Valentine's stamp on the bench. That best drama, "A Noble Outcast," makes its second appearance in Los Angeles Tuesday evening, Jan. 28th, at Gamut Auditorium, 1844 So. Hope St. To miss seeing a "Noble Outcast" means that you will miss the treat of the season.' "The Greatest Thing in Life," played to overflow audiences at Clune's should not claim greater patronage than "A Noble Outcast." This drama is brim full of fun, and yet teaches a lesson you need to learn. The characters are well selected, each filling his or her role with symmetry. Buy your tickets in time, and don't forget to take your boy and girl. They need to see this play. --- IN THE WEST Come with us to little Social Hall, 116 1-2 E. 3rd St.. Friday evening, Jan. 31st, and meet your very own soldier boy. Upon this occasion we have arranged a high class dance for the young people who would make merry, and for those who don't care to dance we are sure that they will be anxious to meet and greet the boys just from France. Thrilling experiences will be told by Uncle Sam's brave boys, the boys who never shring or shirk, not even when cannon balls about them lurk. Army officers and Y. M. C. A. workers will be the speakers of the occasion. Ice cream and cake will be served in grand style without extra charge. Now, come out, everybody, and make these boys, who for two or three years have been confined to army life, happy. They need your cheer, and you want to hear their wonderful stories concerning the battlefields of France and the camp life of a soldier in this country. E. T. EARL STILL LIVES. Once in a great "now and then" the daily papers suggest that the Negroes of this country are not getting a fair deal, but they fail to suggest a remedy, but we can freely state that the Los Angeles Evening Express is an exception to this rule; for since its very beginning the Express has shown a spirit of fair play where the Negro is concerned. We are publishing an editorial clipped from Monday evening's Express, which we hope will be read by every one of our readers: Safe for Democracy. The Administration party stands unreservedly committed to the doctrine of making the world safe for Democracy. If Democracy means anything, it means a fair distribution of political rights guaranteed by organic law and carried out fairly in practice. Now, doesn't it? President Wilson, as leader of his party, has iterated and reiterated this ideal of equal opportunity under law. He has deemed its realization so important and so vital to the perpetuation of liberty in the world that he consented finally that the country, under his leadership, should go to war in its defense and that men, white and black, serving side by side, should die for it. Why not? Doesn't our own Federal Constitution say that no right of citizenship shall be abridged? And are they not equal before the law? According to the Bureau of Education of the Department of the Interior, in 15 Democratic States of the South and the District of Columbia, $10.32 is paid out for the public instruction of each child o fwhite parents to $2.98 for each child of colored parentage. Where the colored children are most plentiful the expenditure per child is the least, proportionately. It is highest in border States, where colored people are fewest. Where they are most numerous the proportion runs as high as $12.52 a pupil for white children as against $1.77 for THE-PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT. ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NS Fire CHAS. D. CONNER. Wednesday, Jan. 22, in Department 20 of the Superior Court, presided over by Judro Valentine, the late of Conner vs. Russell was decided in favor of Mr. Connor of the firm of Russell and Connor, undertaking establishment. The case was brought in order to determine Mr. Russell's status in the business, and the Court decided that all rights and apparent rights of Mr. Russell in the firm of Russell & Connor had been cancelled since Dec. 18, 1918 colored ones. In one instance the report of the Bureau of Education show sit to be as high as $22.22 for each white child as compared with $1.78 for the child of the colored citizen. When we get through beating Democracy into Europe, suppose we examine our own home brand. RETURNING SOLDIERS CAUSE 1910 EXODUS (Chicago Defender.) The exodus of 1319 is on. Since the lynching of two men and two women and the lynching of a soldier in uniform, the people have begun to get their heads together and decide what is best. For the most part the decision is, "Go North, where people have a chance." Dr. George E. Haynes director of Negro economics of the United States Department of Labor, in a recent address at the Morrison Hotel, Chicago, stated to a meeting of employers, representatives of labor and welfare workers that a large proportion of the 300,000 Race soldiers abroad will wish to come to Northern cities, like Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago, and the majority will come to Chicago. Great preparations are being made to make these "true friends of freedom" welcome. Many of them have written relatives and friends South to meet them up North, and these people are packing up and starting this way. Efforts and inducements are being made by Southerners to keep the people in the South, but as long as lynchings, disfranchisement and "Jim Crows" continue to make presence over justice and equality of opportunity, these patriotic boys cannot go back to the old sections.

Cothran, Pastor. As usual we enjoyed a spiritual feast last Lord's Day as we sat together in holy communion. Indeed, it was a privilege infinitely sublime. At 11 o'clock a. m. the pastor reasoned with us upon the subject, "Under the Scrutiny of God." His text was these words: "For the Lord Seeth Not as Man Seeth; for man locketh on the outward appearance, but God looketh on the heart." Sem. 16:7. It was quite apparent from the lesson that, although man might misjudge and be misjudged by man, he might deceive and be deceived by man, but God never misjudged' nor deceive; neither can He be deceived—no man can hide from Him. A grand Birthday Social is featured next Wednesday night, Jan. 29th, at Birch St. Christian Church. Mrs. A. C. H.

The services at this Church on last Sabbath will be long remembered by those who worshipped here during the day. One soul was converted at the morning service and at 3 p. m. Dr. A. P. Shaw preached the annual sermon for the M. P. M. Club. This was indeed, a rare treat, for the speaker seemed to be at his best. He delivered one of the most practical and instructive discourses the men have had the pleasure of listening to since their organization, and all were delighted. Dr. Craw, in his usual efficient manner, installed the officers. Mrs. C. A. Bass graced the gathering with hep presence, and presided as mistress of ceremonies with much ease and dignity. The men are under many obligations to those who participated. The Club is exceedingly pleased with the encouragement received from the ministers of the city, as there were a large number of them present. Services for Sunday, the 26th: Sunday School, 9:30 a. m.; Allen C. E. League Junior, 5:30 a. m.; Allen C. E. League Senior, 6:30 p. m.; preaching at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. All are welcome to our services. Sunday was an excellent day at Wesley. The effects of the influenza in the city could be seen on account of the absence of so many of our regular attendants. Most of them are on the road to rapid recovery and will soon be in their places again. The morning sermon by the pastor on "Prayer and Misison.s" was very timely and helpful. Misses Laura Todd and Edith Warner represented the Standard Bearers and took up an after-collection of $10 for the Women's Foreign Missionsary Society. At the evening service Evangelist E. A. Carter delivered a very helpful message. This Sunday will be a record breaker in many respects. The pastor will preach his second anniversary sermon at 11 a.m. At 3 p. m. the Independent Church will worship with us. Pastor Gregg will deliver the sermon, and his Choir will do the singing.

There assembled in this Church last Sunday morning a very splendid audience which listened attentively to the sermon by Pastor N. P. Gregg, who took for his text, "Loyal Character." Descriptively he invited attention to that Biblical incident in which 32,000 Ammenites arrayed themselves for battle and the test that Giddeon applied to his offowers revealed the character of their faith in the promises of God until, finally, there was found to be but 300 loyal and of undaunted courage. Reference was made to the devotion of our fathers and mothers to their Lord and Master many decades ago, and blessings mentioned that came to them out of a most cruel state of chaos contrasted with the present day modernized conception of the Church militant. He urged the people to acts of kindness and to always have a loving regard one for the other. The evening services were well attended; the Choir was at its best. Rev. E. N. Clark, pastor of the Pomona A. M. E. Z. Church, filled the pulpit, speaking from Exodus 4-1, using as his basis the story of the life of Joseph. He was intensely practical in all he said, holding the strictest attention of his hearers. We were favored with the presence of other visiting ministers, who were introduced to the congregation with a few remarks. Mins. Butler and Osborn rendered a number, "Under His Wings," which was well received. Four persons joined the Church and the collection for the day was $77.46. A number of persons were reported slick, among whom was the pastor's wife. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma. Rev. J. E. McCor Rev. D. R. Jones of Salt Lake City, Utah, delivered two inspiring sermons the past Sabbath and christened his little granddaughter, Baby Consuella Amadna Robinson.

The pastor will preach both morning and evening this coming Lord's Day. Services begin promptly on time. Morning theme, "Faith's Triumph Over the Greatest Trials." Evening theme, "Desire and Satisfaction." Sweet music by the Choir, with our organist, Prof Elmer C. Bartlett back at his post of duty.

Appropriate funeral services were conducted Monday at 1:30 p. m. in honor of our faithful deceased sister, Hetty Murray. Of her it can be truly said: "Life's race well run, life's work well done, life's crown well won, now comes rest." LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREATIONAL CHURCH. 34th St. and Central Ave., E. E Lightner, Pastor. Last Sunday was a gorious day at Lincoln Memorial. Three excellent services were held. At the morning hour the pastor brought a very practical message on "Proving God," based on the text found in Malachi 3:10. At 3 p. m. Rev. A. Lively of New Hope Baptist Church and his splendid Choir had charge of the services. This man of God brought a most helpful sermon, using as his text, "It is More Blessed to Give Than to Receive." Acts 20:35. The spiritt of God was manifestly present, and all hearts were made to rejoice. An offering of $23 was added to the seating fund. The pastor occupied the pulpit again in the evening and spoke on, "Not Ashamed of the Gospel." Services for Jan. 26th are as follows: Sunday School, 9:45; preaching, 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. by pastor, Morning, "What Is Your Life." --- DELIVERY J Evening, "Rest for the People of God." Christian Endeavor. 6:30 p.m. Topic, "Books that Have Helped Me." Prov. 2:1-9 Strangers cordially invited to all services. All members urged to be present. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. Maple Ave., Bet. 7th and 8th Sts. Our Sunday School was well attended. At the close of the lesson the pastor addressed the young people, urging a decision for Christ, and four of them gave their hearts to God before the whole School. Let us pray for their steadfastness. At the 11 o'clock service the Lord gave evidence of His presence and approval in showers of blessing. After the regular offering, a good response followed the pastor's appeal for the Armenian relief subscription. The Young People's Meeting was vigorous and helpful. Many new members received with hearty welcome. At the evening service Prince U. Kaba Rega preached a very timely sermon, which met the hearty approval of the crowded house. We wish the brother God-speed and hope he may be successful in his endeavors. Our dear Sister Webber was solemnly laid to rest on Monday, many ministers taking part in the funeral services. This Sunday at 3 p. m. a memorial service will be held in our Church for her; also for the late Sister Peyton, one of the founders of the Second Church. All State and District workers, Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. will be present and expected to take part. Our beloved Sister Callie Johnson was laid away last Monday, after only a few days' illness.

It means much, indeed ,to one who has experienced the severe drill of war for these consecutive months to come back safe-and sound. 1am yet hardly able to conceive tion Day. The trip,overseas wax one The end came very sudden to us, as we had expected o much longer siege of warfare, and we are more than thankful to the Almighty for our remarkable achievement. Tam without words to adequately express my gratitude to. my loved ones and friends who have well wish- ed my safe return. I feel that by their prayers being answered, has made possible thy welfare and for- tune, without which my success would haye been impossible. I sailed from New York last May, arriving in Brest, France, on Decora- the sun was slowly setting in the that I shall long remember, On Sunday, May 26th, our seventh day at gea, we were about 1000’ miles «off the coast of France. We got our first taste of submarine warfare. It was a lovely afternoon, about 4 o'clock: the sun was slowly setting in the dis- tant west. Our convoy consisted of about fourteen ships and ten torpedo destroyers. All ships were abreast in a long line about five hundred yards apart, and the destroyers were zig- zagging in all directions on all sides, A periscope shot up right in our midst just astern of our ship. In an instant all ships were in action, al making a circle around “where the periscope appeared running at full speed. Depth charges could be heard in rapid succession, and the vessels were pouring shells from their - big guns into the water. “The noise was tremendous, and so deafening was its resonance that it caused one to shud- der with far, although you knew you were safe. A misaimed shell passed over the bow of our ship and made things still more exciting. We were soon out of danger, but nervous for some time. Many fellows refused to sleep at night; almost ev- erybody was more or less frightened. We arrived in port, and after a three- hour trip over the town we boarded a train for somewhere, nobody knew, except one officer who chaperoned the party. The novelty of the French railway was quite interesting. The weather was hot and fine. We rode all day and changed cars at Rennes; the train was fast, but it stopped ev- erywhere, and we all got out at ev- ery station to view. the sights. The French people sébiied to know well that we were-Americens, and they cleared up everything. The little railway stations were al- ways crowded as we passed, and many pathetic scenes touched our hearts in seeing the poor French families bid- ding their fathers’and sons good-bye on leavitig for the trenches. The next train we took was bound for the front via Paris, and was just filled with soldiers. When we passed the little towns, Uttle children came to us and asked for ‘‘du pain," some bread. ¥ had made this a habit in seeing so"many “Yanks” pass through, and they always got.a'good supply of the pread. Each fellow had a box. of goods supplied him for the trip, and. = | ~The Harris Co. _ | 441 to451 Third Street, San Bernardino, Cel. ; ™ “WHERE STYLE MEETS VALUE.” - S _Dry Goods, Ladies and Childrens Ready-to-Wear ‘Apparel, Furnishings and Dress ‘Accessories \ The Owl Drug Store | . . 384E street es ‘ San Bernardino, Ca). : | Free Delivery : ‘Phones ‘1 a oe er ee WM.

Here and there an admirer of Taft, name him the next Republican nominee for President. People who are continually slinging mud at their neighbor must have it conveniently at hand—at home. We learn that east of Main street politicians are already forming a combination to defeat the re-election of Mayor Woodman. When the electorate crowd cut the mediocre statesmen who are now filling the National offices at Washington, our economic public will cease to exist. The rebuke invited and received by President Wilson at the recent Congressional elections indicated very clearly that "keeping us out of the war was the President's real asset. It is refreshing to learn how public opinion changes. Without exception, from President Wilson on down the line, the former opponents of Theodore Roosevelt, now that he is dead, are praising him. Just wait until a few still unpublished opinions are released. It is to be regretted that at this most important period in the life of the Nation, a period of reconstruction, there is a tendency to get apart rather than get together. It takes one hundred drops of white blood to make a white man, and but one drop of Negro blood to make a Negro. Bolshevikism means a desperation wrought by lack of employment and starvation. Where he has not yet mobilized in America, the Bolshevikist is just as likely to happen here as in Europe, with this difference in our Democracy: the responsibility rests with the people themselves. L. Lloyd George, the English Premier, has placed himself on record as irrevocably opposed to conscription. It might be a good idea for our Democracy to consider this resolution of the English Premier during this, the reconstruction period, of the American Government. President Wilson has asked for one hundred million dollars to be expended buying foodstuffs for starving Europe. The discussion of this request in the Senate has aroused a whole lot of harsh statements on lot of harsh superlatives and more so than the claim that the "meat trust" would get the bulk of the amount; pure velvet. ```markdown ``` SUBSCRIPTION RATES $2.00 1.00 .50 in Advance. matter Nov. 17th. 1913 at Cal., under the Act of March Managing Editor Editor for some reason or other papers are olen.

When a citizen is lifted to the limelight by his fellow voters, a new importance is attached to his most ordinary statements. What would be very properly designated "hot air," "bunk," or "bull," in one less prominent, cause him to be declared "another Danial come to judgment." That is the reason why some people can talk, talk and talk and attract no serious attention. CHARITY BEGINNITH AT HOME -SOMETIMES. There always follows a Nation's active participation in a state of war a period of unsettled conditions and of great unrest. And it is during this period that each and every one of the participants in "the late unpleasantness" has economic problems of its own defying easy solution. It was the idealism of the United States that involved this country in the European embroilment, involving a great loss of life, the expenditure of billions of money and, greater than all else, badly disturbed economic conditions. When the armistice was declared November 11, further considerations of European national conditions became solely the affair of European Nations. The position of the Germanic and Austro-Hungarian Empires, the change of the form of Governments, the settling of International strife, became solely the concern of those nationally affected by the armistice interests. Europe, a boiling pot of strife and intirely unsettled economic conditions; the habitat of bankrupt Nations; deposed Monarchs and revolutionary ideas, has its problem that alone can be successfully solved by those most directly interested. The United States helped crush the Hun; came to the succor of the Allies when, in the pathetic language of Marshall Haig, "we (England, France and Italy), have our back to the wall, send us men, money and food. How magnificently the United States responded, the whole world knows and admires. With men, money and food we contributed until it hurt. And more, we have pointed the way for a world Democracy. We have pointed the way, and that is all that now can be expected of us. We, too, have our problems to solve, consisting of badly disturbed economic conditions. Labor, union labor, was never so belligerent, and so insistent on what it considers its right. In one day 26,000 men walked out of the shipbuilding yards of Seattle. Wash.; on the following day the textile manufac- ```markdown ``` turms of New England had to contend with an enormous labor "walk-out," and throughout the Nation, the laborer is in open rebellion because of insufficient pay and long hours. The people of the United States stood patriotically for conscription; they accepted "substitute foods" at an enormous sincrease of cost; they saw the purchasing power of the dollar descend to a 30-cent valuation; contributed nobly—yes nobly—to every war fund requested, any demanded—by their country and carried their high ideals of patriotism and Democracy in advance of any Nation in the world. All these huge sacrifices of men, money and resources so disturbed the industrial welfare of this Nation that we have very naturally entered into a period of reconstruction. Reconstruction here at home, and not along the East Rhine front, or any other European front. American babies are dying by the thousands because of insufficient milk diet. Four million American boys, who were either abroad, abroad mark ye, fighting for Democracy, or training for like service in the Cantonments of the United States, must be provided with employment. Swift, the Chicago meat packer, speaking for his industry, promises there shall be no lowering in the sale price of meats until the cost of labor and stock-foods get back to their old standards. And Mr. Gompers, speaking for labor, says, come what will for the future, there should be still greater increases in the price paid labor, and under no circumstances will labor accept old conditions of time and pay. The plant of Mr. Swift is one with every other great productive industry in the United States, "there shall be no satisfactory change in the present high cost of living until the cost of labor is cheapened." Here is a problem that should interest American statesmanship. If the cost of living under war conditions has gone up 100 per cent, the purchasing power of a day's wage should be equally as progressive. Then there is another problem of supreme importance to 12,000,000 unblieached Americans. Quite recently the Director of the Federal Free Employment Bureau, whose object is to find employment for the several million discharged American soldiers, stated through the columns of the public press that his Department had the problem of finding nearly 400,000 drafted Negroes abroad with employment either in the North or the Middle West, through Southerners largely. They did not intend to return to their former Southern homes to be confronted with the same old unjust conditions. In other words, men who have fought for liberty abroad and won self-determinations for the peoples of Europe, cannot be satisfied with half-freedom at home. From the latest returns, it is very apparent that notwithstanding the Allies have won a four years' war for a world Democracy, the feeling against the black man in the South has been intensified. Returning Negro soldiers have been insulted and nobbed on the streets of Southern cities; one has been slain. And generally there has been an increase of hangings and burnings of Negroes charged with all manner of offense. And still the South, without interference, is insisting on handling "its own affairs," and we ask, "why should not the American President, he himself a Southerner, permit European Nations, without creating false hopes of intervention, deal out even-handed justice according to lights of those most interested at this time, and give the American pople, of whom he has the honor of being the executive head, a chance to be directly and intimately benefited by his ability to oratorically make clear all by demands of justice, equity and right for all classes and race varieties in the United States of America." Right now the American Nation has problems to be solved that demand an unselfish devotion. In other words, the American people should be more vitally interested in the welfare of the American people at home than they are in the present European embroglio.

Providence seemed not to bless them with any of their own, but this couple will not give oer to the inopportunities of Fate. Mrs. Surrey remembered that she had a siter with children to spare, so away to Houston she went about two weeks ago in quest of a valuable asset to their happiness. A gift they would have had it, but as a loan was all they could secure, they accepted cheerfully—only Mr. Surrey says that he fears the sunshine will be missed more for having been there after the children have gone, for they are the "cutest" little ones yet "Snookuns," or Thelma and "Bubbie," or Cordys, the inseparable niece and nephew of Mrs. Surrey, children of her sister, Mrs. Shropshire of Houston, Texas.

Los Angeles is to be favored with its own sweet singer, Ivan H. Browning, who has toured the United States for several years as manager of the Exposition Quartette. The request has been so urgent that Ivan has consented to a recital March 17 at Blanchard Hall. This will be his only appearance before entering on his concert tour. Other stars, of such magnitude as Sinclaire, White-Tyler, will make her first appearance before the Los Angeles public. Mrs. Tyler is a graduate of the University of Chicago, having won four medals, and upon her graduation winning the diamond medal. Mrs. Tyler was also violinist for Mr. and Mrs. Varnon Castle, the world-renowned dancers, for three years, having played to some of the largest audiences of the leading play houses. To keep the date of March 17 open and disprove the old saying that a man is never without honor save in his own country, Mr. Browning and Mrs. Tyler will be presented by the Polly Anna Girls' Club, a young club composed of some of the finest young women in Los Angeles. This Club meets twice each week and studies the ilves and works of the different Negro artists, thus creating a deeper appreciation of their works. Los Angeles should turn out in great numbers and encourage these young women in their efforts, and this being their first attempt in presenting any artists, it is hoped that they will draw the largest audience of the season. So don't forget the date, March 17th, St. Patrick's birthday. Tickets will be on sale at the New Age office, Eagle office, Prentice Drug Store and other places next week. --- Y.W.C.A.

Both Mr. Peacocke and Mr. Clifford claim that their pictures will offset anything depreciatory suggested by the "Clansman." Also both of thee scenarios have been read and discussed by the Forum, and unfortunately two factions have been created—an "Injustice" faction and a "Boomerang" faction. Now, it's too bad that this should be. Why can't we get together on these things? The Eagle would suggest that a committee of the best brains of the Race. In the same fashion that a jury is selected, be appointed to pass on the merits and demerits of both pictures, and the one possessing the greatest number of points as a better sentiment maker in favor of the Race be accepted.

The next day we had to go hungry ourselves, and I mean that we all got good and hungry. For two days and nights we traveled by train. We had to change cars the second time at a place called Rowen, which was a big function just 30 miles out of Paris, and here we saw several hospital trains loaded with wounded, who were just arriving from the front. The whole atmosphere seemed to be clouded, with smoke. A perpetual echo of shells could be heard in all manner of tones in the distance. Finally darkness came about 10 o'clock at night, and all along the sky was a reddish gloom toward the north, and even the shells were becoming louder and louder. The next morning we arrived at the Hamre, where we were met by a big auto truck and carried several miles to a British Rest Camp. We were unable to get any food until about noon. When we arrived at the camp we soon found several companies of our soldiers, and they tried to make us at home. It was one case which seldom happens, where soldiers and sailors eat at the same bake. Of course we had no mess-kits, and the soldiers were very generous in lending us their outfits. Imagine yourself very hungry and hadn't a square meal in two days, and the feed we had given to us consisted as follows: one hard-boiled egg, one-fourth pound cheese and one-half pound of black war bread, with butter like axle greese, and coffee without any sugar.

Crown City News BY CAPTAIN W. M. REYNOLDS Our Pasadena Correspondent. Everybody wears a mask. Beginning at 5 p. m. on last Saturday, Jan. 18th, an ordinance passed by the City Commissioners went into effect that caused all persons appearing on the streets of Pasadena, or any public place, street car or otherwise, to be masked as a protection against the flu. Notwithstanding the inconvenience caused by the wearing of the mask, some of the Churches held services on last Sunday, although the attendance was small. The Pasadena correspondent of the California Eagle had to stay at home for a few days this week recovering from a cold and an attack of lumbago. He was not confined to his bed, however, and resumed his duties at the Hall of Records on Friday, a very little the worse for the deal. Our old friend, Robert Simms of Topeka, Kas., who journeys to California in charge of special cars on the Santa Fe quite often during the winter season, dropped in on us yesterday evening, giving us all the latest news of the old home town. Knowing everybody as he does, his coming is better than receiving a letter. We in- --- The year of 1919 finds the Negro knocking, begging and crying at the white man's door, saying, loud, "open unto us." But the answer seems to be, "Go Spirit, go thy way." But there is a door if the Negro will knock. I believe it will swing ajar and a voice will say, "Come and be with us and we will do thee good." We, the Negro Race of America, and especially of the United States, are the only Race which all others draws from—our labor and purse, and in return we are the only Race in the United States which is shut out from commercialism. And we can never hope to rise to any height until we are able to draw freely from the well of commerce. And since we are denied the right and privilege here, why not find a way or make one. Some of us have drawn the conclusion that to begin playing the movies to convince our fellow man that we are rally gentlemen, and not villains, as they have played us to be in the great movie world. Now, our fellow man in white, has had us building churches for the past fifty years, and now he realizes we are nearing the end of building fine churches, and if he can induce us to return to play for a season he will have ample time to finish planes, whatever they may be. But we know the leading men of their race is not giving their brain and time to play at this hour. Certainly they will advise us to expend $15 in a movie play, when they are in the position to control the $15 and hold us in the position to accept anything they may offer, or leave us like a man 'all dressed up' in a $15 suit of clothes, with nowhere to go—for our theaters are few and far between. Now, these same men who are willing to promote the $15 photoplay, why not consider finding a way, or making one; and enter into the world trade of commerce, which, in my mind, can be accomplished through the churches. If we will take the Pacific Coast, and especially Southern California, seems to be destined to become the shipping port of all of the South American countries; instead of putting $15 in a position to be controlled by the movie trust, why not select three men and give them a living wage for twelve months, say a guarantee of $125 per month, which would be $4,500, and let one of these men be a newspaper man, for the paper can make more sentiment in one issue than a movie can in eighteen shows. Send them into some of the South American countries and there establish a wholesale house to handle Southern California and the Middle West States product, and in return send South American products here and do a wholesale business and be distributors of California and the Middle West States. And no doubt in the course of thirty-six months we will have established a commercial system which will speak, to my mind, in greater weight to our fellow man than playing the role of gentleman on the screen. Let us act wisely and find a way, or make one. War Co- bration Pati- ev. Henri Dear: ```markdown ``` --- formed us that Judge O. O. Over failing to get to go overseas was contemplating returning to Pasadena soon. Quite a number of Pasadena people went to Los Angeles on Monday to attend the funeral of Mrs. A. E. Webber, whose sudden demise was a great shock to her many friends in the Crown City. On account of the inconvenience of holding the week's installation services at the Metropolitan Church by reason of wearing masks, the installation of the pastor will take place on next Snuday evening, the 27th, as per arrangements. Any other services to be held in connection with it will be announced on next Sunday. All gatherings among our people will be greatly handicapped for this week, but all hope to resume in full swing after the 26th of January. One little Race boy who appeared on the streets with a black mask on, when questioned as to why he wore a black one, promptly replied, "that he was mourning for the dead air which he had to breathe." has been indelibly written upon the page so French history. The signing of the armistice released the people of Alsace-Lorraine from German rule, under which they have lived for nearly fifty years. Today France, and particularly Paris, celebrated this freedom in almost every conceivable manner. The people, as usual, attended early mass, but immediately thereafter the streets were crowded with thousands seeking places from which they might view the parade, which started at 2:30. The start was announced with the bombing of cannon and the flight up and down the line of march of great numbers o faircraft. As I stood on the velvet carpeted platform upon which was seated the President of France, Marshall Joffre and other prominent Frenchmen, and gazed with amazement at the sea.of humanity, I was greatly impressed with the enthusiasm which everybody was happy, not only because of Alsace-Lorraine being now free, but also because in securing her freedom she had helped greatly in the protection of the rights of men everywhere. No one who witnessed this celebration could, if he would, erase it from the blackboard of his memory. In the grade there were flower girls from Alsace-Lorraine, French, British, Australian, Candian, Italian and American soldiers, and bands of all Nations playing patriotic airs. In addition, there were many Red Cross and Knights of Columbus men and women and about 400 Y. M. C. A. workers. Notwithstanding the immense crowd, I saw many wounded white and colored American soldiers, some with heads tied up, others with their arms in a slihg and many walking with the aid of crutches and canes. One colored soldier, who walked with the aid of crutches and whose insigia told me he was a member of an artillery organization, impressed me very much with his clean-cut manly qualities. Thousands of automobiles were overloaded with people, and the tops of numbers of massive stone monuments in the Tuilleries and the Palace de la Concorde were crowded with American soldiers o nleave, who had climbed there in order to see. Even the artistic and extraordinary tall lamp posts supported onlookers, one o which took pictures from his uncomfortable but useful seat. As the parade passed, a greater number of airplanes than before flew over the marchers, but now they performed all kinds of stunts—tall-spinning, flying upside down, racing over tree tops, etc., all for the purpose of making the day more impressives; and incidentally reminding the people that it was the ability of airmen that greatly assisted in bringing the war to an end. It was like watching a three-ring circus—so much to see at once. I know what I saw and how I felt but a description of my feelings is impossible. 'After the parade had passed, President Poincaire, Marshall Joffre and many other leading men, including a refined-looking, well dressed, silk-hatted colored gentleman, walked from the grand stand and passed through a sort of court of honor made up of soldiers who saluted them as they walked. The colored gentleman, I am to, dimsema shrdluhrdluluuu is a member of the House of Deputies which sits at Paris. After the parade I started for my hotel. For awhile I got along fairly well, but when I reached the Rue Royale I found myself in the middle of the great crowd or people I have ever seen in one square. I did not dare get on the sidwalk, for there one was in danger of having his life crushed out against the massive stone buildings. I shall not attempt to describe the size of the crowd or how difficult it was to get through. Suffice it to say that for a half hour I struggled and pushed-and shoved, and when I did get through I found that I had traveled just one square. At seven o'clock I had dinner and immediately thereafter, took a walk along the Boulevard Des Capucines. There again I struggled with the crowds. Up and down the streets passed all kinds of small parades—French, Italian, and Armenian societies and Boy Scouts. One such crew I saw was made up of soldiers of all the Allies. At the head of it was a canon, which had been taken from the exhibit of thousands of captured German airplanes, cannon and machine guns in the Tuileries, which was pulled by a great number of men, and on it was seated an American soldier waving the Stars and Stripes and yelling for all he was worth. Confetti was being thrown by hundreds of people and soldiers of all Nations kissed the girls, a privilege which I was told was reserved for the soldiers only. Once a girl was caught, no matter how she screamed and struggled, she was released only when she had been kissed. On many street corners were musicians singing and playing beautiful songs dedicated to the Allies and the President of the United States. At one corner I saw two young women arrying an American soldier who continually greeted the people with Vive La France." When I reached the middle of a square, on my way home, I suddenly found myself encircled with several young women and some soldiers, who for a few seconds ran around me and sang while I stood in the center. In a short while I reached my hotel. I was very tired and intended to retire immediately. As I opened the door I was greeted by a happy host of French, English and Belgian people who insisted that I join in the celebration. This I did, retiring at midnight. "all in." Such was the celebration f the deliverance of Alsace-Lorraine. In this world war France has sud-duply leaped into the limelight as the one Nation of the earth that is willing to give the Negro soldier credit for deeds of valor and bravery. The Negro soldiers who figured at Alsace-Lorraine, and many other of the heated battles at the front, are not waiting until they return to sing France's praise, but are writing to their friends in glowing terms concerning recognition given them by the French Government: MUST BE SERVED AT KITCHEN WINDOW. Colored Women Clerks Served Food by Restaurant for Employees in U. 8. Government Buildig Must go to the Bear. Told This Is "Dual Government." (Dallas Express.) Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.—There is in one of the U. S. Department buildings a restaurant on the cafeteria plan in which colored employees have been and are being denied the privilege of service unless accepted from the kitchen window to be taken away for consumption. One of our girls, a recent appointee, was upon one occasion served, but the next day when she went in for luncheon was referred to the kitchen door. The colored clerk asked, "why am I sent to the kitchen door, you are serving others here?" "For speed," was the response of the cashier waitress. "Oh, I am not looking for speed, but comfort, quietly returned the clerk," and insisted upon service, whereupon tending a dollar for the food; the cashier kept the change, offering it to the clerk if she would return the lunch, but the clerk kept the lunch and began to get into the affair, and later in an interview with the chief clerk of the building was told that this was a "dual government," and the colored people were really separate, having separated themselves into churches and schools of their own, and after the usual application of "soft soap" in such matters, the cases still stand. This restaurant is leased for the purpose of serving employees in the building. Here at the Nation's capital, in a Government building of a Nation, proclaiming that it is making the world safe for Democracy, when the people denied service represent the truest type of Americans, doing their "big," not only their "bit," in the recent war, are forced the inconvenience of no service in the lunch room unless accepted from the the A Metropolitan Hair Store and Costuming Establishment --- We have around us hundreds of cases— Negroes who can compete with other races, To say the least of those at large Who are able to contradict the white man's charge.
