RANSOM BEATEN BY IGNORANCE URDAY, MARCH 16, 1918. COUNSELOR DAVID New York, N. Y., March 16—Counselor David C. Outlear succeeded in getting a verdict for his client, Rose Baker, last week, in a civil suit before Justice Blour and a jury in part IV, Supreme Court. In September, 1916, Dr. Phillip Screechbill, white, 135 Henry street, by whom Miss Baker was employed, accused the girl of stealing $128 from his desk. He caused her arraignment to the tombs to await the action of the grand jury. The grand jury refused to indict Miss Baker, and after three days in the tombs, she was freed. The court ordered the arrest was begun, Oct. 30, 1916. The case dragged along until two weeks ago, when the girl received a verdict of $528 damages, which was immediately adjudicated. Counselor Outlear told a Defender man many similar cases happen, but the aggrieved party seldom cares to go to the trouble of bringing the case to UTICA Friday, March 8, occurred the death of Walter Lockwood from pneumonia.

We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods.

If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful.

ANCE Reveals Truth er's Defeat Mrs. Gould Reveals Truth of Minister's Defeat Roverdy congress Manhattan, owing to be re-created. This act asked the voters to write their names on the ballot. All this came after Ransom had been denied a chance following the voters' appeal to the regiment's committee. A white man was named in his stand. Then came the petition. Where the Fault Lies Unscrupulous politicians, seeking self-gain and being willing to sell their souls for a mess of potage, went over to the Republicans or to the Democrats. Ransom was beaten probably not badly as the count might show. He was not able to have the necessary amount of workers at the pollinator neither was he able to do as the crooked politicians could. Mrs. Howard Gould, a colleague in the campaign, came out in the open and spoke in his behalf declaring that any one who would vote for a white man against one of his own race was a traitor to the Negro campaign, the unreliable feature of the campaign when the Democrat did not take advantage of their opportunity to vote and their white sisters did. Republican Beaten The regular Republican candidate was beaten and the Democrat won, which came as a big surprise to the politicians. A reporter getting an interview with Mrs. Gould found out that there is a decided lack of not only Race pride, an effort, or better, a sense of organizations. An effort, or better, a sense of organizations, could be strong without affiliating with any one party would do the Race good. It would mean that if any candidate or party refused to give the constitutional right to race he could not and would not get the race and it would mean that eventually the Race would not have to look upon the white man to represent him in the legislative bodies, but they would have congressmen, representatives and senators. The politicians could easily be brought into line or beaten for office. It is hoped that the next election future for the state will see a plan of Color victorious.

Ransom, candidate for congress from the 21st district of Manhattan, made a fairly good showing owing to the fact that his name had been refused a place on the ballot. This act was the fact that those of the Race who were not on the ballot. As a result these men, known as the campaign were careless enough to allow men in the enemies' camp to circulate the petition, which asked for the nomination to the ballot. As a result these men, known as the campaign, wrote in several places numbers of names with fake addresses. When the matter was taken to court the petitioners defeated, Ransom's men urged him in make the fight independently and NEW YORK STARTS OFF New York, N. Y., March 16—An anonymous donor in this city has contributed $1,000 towards the $5,000 fund needed to clear debts of the Snow Hill Fund and Industrial Institute, Alabama.

WM. O. E. DAVIS Camp Funston Men and Officers Making History for the Race By C, A. Barnett and A. W. Harris Staff Correspondents Camp Funston, Kan. March 15.—On a recent Sunday afternoon, the *Dealer* representatives rolled into Camp Funston. 135 miles west of Kansas City, Kansas, the camp was meet at the train by Leuct. J. T. Whittaker, who will be remembered by our many readers in Kansas and Oklahoma as one of the most prominent campers in the country, dentally holds the important position of "mess" officer of the medical corps. He guided us through the long unending rows of barracks, stretching one after the other like great two-story buildings, and so much alike that only the numbers can distinguish one from the other, to the west end of the cannonment, where "our boys" were domiciled. The immensity of Camp Funston is the city, the largest cantonment in the country, covering several square miles and housing at present about 40,000 soldiers, 3,500 of whom are Colored and members of the 92D Division, commanding a large number of troops, famous as the head of the Des Moines Officers Training Camp, from which were commissioned some 600 officers. Four thousand more men were expelled in a days' time, and in a few months there is a persistent rumor allot to the effect that the entire Colored division will be assembled at Funston in order to better facilitate divisional unity and move- The Ninety-second Division The Ninety-second Division is composed exclusively of Race troops and various units of its total strength of 12,000. They are throughout other camps. The units here are known as Headquarters' Trains and comprise the Headquarters Troop, Military Police, 31st Ammunition Battalion and 31st Sailor Battalion. Men Learn Quickly The outstanding feature of the Work at Camp Finston is the marvelous progress which is being made in whirlpools, where he is a captain who a few weeks before had never seen a gun or realized in any way what military discipline meant, into a fighting machine, the superior of the enemy, who has found in the United States Army. Everywhere are men in olive-drab or overalls, the latter uniform being the result of a training War Department to get supplies to the camp. You can fairly see the change which has been wrought from the slow ungainly farmer, the swavenger called a scout, to the soldier, the we all knew into the soldier, erect, shoulders thrown back, an air of purpose on his face and who obeys his officers' commands with snap and pre- Officers Use Psychology The men are being molded into soldiers through a definite psychological process. These are not ordinary soldiers, who have gone into the army because they did not fit anywhere else; they are, for the most part, men who were not concerned with war and who were playing their parts in the life of a nation at peace. To keep them contented and optimistic, to keep their morale up to the highest notch is a task which requires insight into their minds and character. Each company is like a great family, with the captain in the role of father. The men are encouraged to be loyal to their company and officers, to make a profit they are not in the way of their friends. They are taught discipline and order. Their quarters, beds and belongings, must be kept just so. Their clothes must be kept clean, their hats on straight, and those who may have been inclined to be lazy or slovenly are learning. Naturally to be neat and tidy. They have a work to do. Their drills are most exacting; there is the digging of ditches, washing of pots and pans, scrubbing of floors, cleaning up generally, and they are required to do it well. It cultivates thoroughness and they learn the satisfaction which comes from a task well done and in knowing that the besties of the world are well as themselves. After all, it's the way a man thinks that counts, and when he has the interest of his company, and his fellows at heart, he has gone the first step toward that larger service for his country. Pleasures of Camp Life All is not work for the drafted man: In the evening and on Sundays he is at liberty to spend most of his time as he chooses. The M. A. offers men a chance to spend time in a university man may write a letter, read the numerous books, magazines and newspapers, attend religious services or mingle with his fellows generally. The M. A. offers a leadership of Arthur W. Hardy, make the organization fill quite a niche in the lives of the men and do everything possible to make them feel at home and evening, twice a week, moving pictures of the best variety are shown, and some rattling good boxing matches pulled off. Another interesting organization is the Knights of Columbus, a fraternity with a Division. This is the only building furnished by them exclusively for Colored-soldiers, and it is dedicated to much the same sort of service which Y. M. A. and the University where he --- PETER H. HARRIS PROF. C. A. GUILLOT ment, is the secretary, and has thrown himself into the work with an enthusiasm which is certain to provide many pleasant hours for the men. Relations Between the Races Relations Between the Races It be understood that two divisions occur at camp Punster, the $9th Div. (white) with camp with the $22d. The relations between the races at this camp are all that could be expected, in fact there is little chance for friction, separated a thorough division of imaginary line, yet so in fact there are non-coms and private, save when on some mission, are not seen in the white portion of the camp and vice-versa. There is an amuse-zone with the white section of the camp which never have the slightest inclination enter, in fact they are barred and this has been largely responsible for the recent appointment of a Director of Camp Activities whose constant serv-illization is utilized in looking after the recreational side of the men of the $22d Div. Camp Activities Football and basketball teams, singing and boxing classes have been organized. The Camp Punston basketball team which is being coached by the Director of Camp Activity, to the Director of teacher in Summer High school, St. Louis, is arranging a schedule which will take them to St. Louis, Chicago, where they will play cities, where it is proposed to play the teams and perhaps the teams from other camps. Bob McAlester, a well-known white boxer from the Pacific Coast, will come over to give the boys boxing lessons, and has found many embryo champions. A singing class has been organized under an expert teacher and having a mastery of melody and harmonizing a mastery of melody and harmonizing which is most pleasing to the car. The Singing 92d Singing is encouraged in every company, both in barracks and when on duty. The government has instituted singing in the National Army, giving the leaders special positions in the line that are known as file closers and the orderer. The same amount of immediate attention as "squads right" or any other com- ponent which is given. It goes without saying that the 2d will surely shine in this particular. Officera Prove Worth The Race can in particular take great pride in our officers commissioned last October at the Des Moines O. T. C. Their bearing, their efficiency, their perfect police, the respect which they have received, and the men and yet the helpful friendly spirit they guide them merits only the highest praise. The record which these men are making will surely bury forever the biguboo about their officers not being able to lead their own. However, the occasion no particular surprise that these young men should have made good in the signal manner which they have. Mai, Gen. Ballou Speaks Maj. Gen. Ballon, who was away on an inspection tour of the other units of the division while we were in Camp Pinston, spoke before a Colored mass-meeting in Kansas City a few weeks before the students attended. He made a splendid attention not only because of his solidarity bearing and democratic simplicity, but also by reason of his clean cut straightforward speech in which he pointed out the importance of their right to leadership, which our young officers had, meant the opening of another door of opportunity for the Race. He admitted that his own rapid rise from four months from colonel to general had given him his success with the camp at Des Moines, which many enemies and even friends of the Race predicted would be a dire failure. In fact he said that the Colored people and this particular can tled onto him the same time putting the Colored people into a position of having been given a chance to make good or fall, with the belief that the latter would be the re- Camp Could Not Fail It is hard, however, for Race men to see how the camp could have been a non-commissioned officers' the finest non-commissioned officers' army and 900 more' of the cream of our youth of this country we venture the assertion without fear of successful contradiction that Gen. Ballou had the right to assert. We have a similar camp in the country, no matter from what angle it is viewed. The splendid record made at Des Moines bears on this thought' and we look to your Combat officers to demonstrate it still further. Heads Officers Training Camp [But it remained for Capt. Milton T. Dean to be selected to head the school which is training the future young officers. This is practically the game S. C. CAPT. A. REID position which Gen. Ballou occupied at Des Moines and is a distinction which stirs pride in all of the officers and men hero who are a unit in declaring Capt. Dean one of the brightest in military life today, as well as a soldier of the finest type. His military career led him from the highest non-commissioned position in the regular army to a captaincy at Des Moines and when the first regiment was organized at Camp Funston he was chosen to has and deserves the highest officer of descent of his superior officers. He is being ably assisted by Capt. Barbour and Lieuts. Richardson and Watkins. Medical Corps vs. Line Men The very apparent distinction between those officers of the 92d DIV known as line men (those who command fighting units) and the Medical in charge of health, sanitation, etc.) is in change of health, sanitation, casual observer, from two different angles. The first, wholly imaginary, attempts to deal with intellectual caste, both carrying the "chip" with no looseness, casual observer, from two different jealousy. The truth is that notwithstanding the fact that the larger per cent of physicians were commissioned prior to training while the-line men were given training prior to commissure, the whole intellectual calibre of the men should be excellent definition of the phrase "even break." In the second angle, which is most material, the line men it will be observed are being given full opportunity to organize the camp, more than one captain has served and is serving in capacity higher than his recorded rank. Orders received and executed by officers of the Iluco come from white collar officers, and the Division Headquarters has been that Captains, 1 and 2 Dlcts, have been prepared by training to execute the duties of their rank and they are hold responsible for results in all duties implemnted in the training. This is most agreeably attested by such able men as Capts. Dean, Reid, Harris, Lieut. Arthur Hubbard, et al. Are Medical Corps Getting Square Deal? In the medical corps are to be found men who have not only finished the prescribed course in the best medical schools throughout the country, but there are those who have won their spurs in the practice of medicine from the most technical surgery down and yet at Camp Funston the service of this class of men is confined to rendering first aid—with white heutensants—in charge of field hospitals and infirmarys and a total absence of Negro physicians and nurses at base hospitals. What is the best practice of this class of men in the medical field is to broaden the medical vision and rank promotion remains? Your correspondents are personally acquainted with officers of the department who have enjoyed excellent practice in both branches of medicine, men who in civilian life have been accustomed to collections of $3,500 to $4,000 per year; some have seen prior service in the U.S. army. All of which makes it hard to understand just why those who have cared for the Race in private life from the cradle to the grave, have completed their service to the soldier when first aid is given. This to the medical staff is the result of unfairness. If the doctor is willing by reason of his loyalty, to sacrifice his all-stand whatever hardships may come—fight, bleed and die if need be in the cause of Democracy, certainly he should not be hampered in his desire to attain the heights of his profession in this department of the U.S. army. Hon. Emmett J. Scott Little complaint is being rendered by the officers, there being a disposition on one men a feel that their interests and of their at large are safe in the hands of Hon. Emmett J. Scott, the astute and capable assistant to the Secretary of War. His confidence in the heartiest confidence in Mr. Scott and feel that he has even without the blare of trumpets justified by his sterling work this signal appointment Community House Needed One of the few drawbacks to the location of Camp Funston is the fact that it is not near any metropolitan center or city where there are an appreciable number of people. The soldiers are thus deprived of practically all social contact, visitors being few because the distances are so great from like Kansas City and accommodations for their reception so limited. The Y. W. C. A. has attempted to relieve the situation as best it could under its limited rules and has established a Hostess House for the Colored workers, a white woman. Here the soldier may at least meet his women relatives away from the public gaze. There is trying need, however, for a hostess to be available to sisters or friends of the drafted boys could be cared for while here, and if necessary remain over night before taking the long journey home. Too, the government encourages a point for social recreation, dances, and gatherings of various sorts. Realizing the need, a committee of representative citizens of this section, the Kansas City City, are engaged in a praiseworthy effort to raise funds for the establishment of a Community House. The government encourages such assistance in an appropriate available for their exercise interest in the movement is keen and the soldier boys are hoping the effort will soon be successfully completed. Subscriptions prerelated in whiterum sent. All money should be sent to the Camp THE CHICAGO DEFENDER CAPT. LEE J. HICKS SALUTE LIEUT. J. E. FLODGER Funston Community House Committee, care of Trader's National Bank, Kansas City, Mo. could not view the effective work being accomplished at Camp Funston, and the same is doubtless true of the other cantonments, and not of the other schools, to come to our young men and to the Race. No finer set of soldiers will go forth to fight the battles of America Democracy than those; and our fewer cannonballs strike for the equality of mankind, may cut a strand of the snackies which bind Ethiopia, that she may "stretch forth her hands" and take her place in the sun. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AT Capt. Aaron Day, Jr. In the galaxy of commissioned officers of the 92d Division, none are more deserving of special mention than the dignified gentleman, scholar and soldier, B. Capuana Day, who commanding the Lone Star state, received his early training at the Houston High school, where he started from Prairie View and went on to study at the University of Chicago, and is exceptionally well qualified for the duties imposed upon him as company leader. For years he was seeking for the training camp he was holding the chair of chemistry at Prairie View. His eminent fitness for leadership is the respect and confidence in which he is held by the men under his charge. Capt. Samuel Reid in command of Co. B, 349th Machine Gun Battalion, the is senior ranking Negro officer in the division. Of his career sufficient matter to make a book sufficient, since his first enlistment, in 1833, in one of much variety, in Cuba, the Philippines and other of our possessions. At present not only is he commander of above company, but due to the absence of M.A.M. Robert Sterrett, he commander of the capacity of battalion year, as a result of tenure of service, Captain Reid will be entitled to be placed on the retired list. Many of those most intimate with his past life and history and of his ability to render service during this crisis, are predicting that he will not retire at this time. Capt. Eugene Harris commanding Co. B. Headquarters 317th Troop and Military Police, is a soldier of Virginia stock, his early life being spent in and around Hampton. He is a veteran soldier, and his reminiscences are most interesting. His first enlistment was in 1898, and singular as it may seem from that day until June last, when he entered the training camp at Des Moines, he had served constantly with one company, climbing round by round to the highest noncommissioned promotion in his regiment. Doubtless in his selection to command the 317th Troop and Military Police his peculiar fitness for this line of endeavor was considered, and his efforts are being daily commended by the officers of the division. Captain Harris is at present enjoying the bi-weekly companionship of his devoted wife and son, who are stopping at Junction City, a few miles away. Capt. Lewis W. Wallace is the commander of Co B, of the 349th Machino Gun Battalion, and responsible for the enthusiasm, aggression and determination of this organization. He is a Chicagoan, typically, and while he has a Chicagoan background, which have necessitated his absence, he is none the less a native of the Windy City. He entered the United States in 1916 and engaged in many diversified pursuits. Being destruous of going through the "school of hard knocks" he deliberately onlisted in what was reputed to be the toughest fighting organization in the army, the 9th Cavalry. Later he was transferred to the 25th Infantry, and was the pleasure, if not the going, through Mexico. 1937 CAPT. LEWIS WALLACE then Sergeant, Wallace entered the training camp at Fort Des Moines and received a commission as captain in the Reserve Corps. Although still in his twenties, Wallace has engaged in almost every legitimate occupation not requiring technical skill, from a bank clerk to timekeeper for a construction company. With this remarkable asset in a man of his age, he has strength, their weaknesses, their abilities and their limitations, he has set out to perfect in his company those characteristics, ambitions and attributes necessary to make a fighting record of the name. And his success is evidenced by the love and respect both officers and men have for their leader. Capt. Abram L. Simpson attached to Co. B, 349th Machine Gun Battalion, has the distinction of being the youngest captain in the 82d division if not in the entire national army. It is not his youth, however, which attracts immediate attention to him, his business and capability as an officer. Although he is a Captain Simpson, who is from Louisville, Ky., graduated from Willisforce, further pursued his studies at the University of Chicago and was a member of the faculty of Morris Brown College. He from this institution to the training camp, where he was commissioned. Capt. Lee J. Hicks the only captain from the state of Kansas, is a native of Ottawa. He finished High School at that point, also Ottawa University, and completed the commercial course at Western University, Kansas (fly, before launching with Anderson's bank connection with Anderson's bank at Fla. he accepted a position as secretary to J. H. Washington, superintendent of industries at Tuskegee Institute, and then at U.S. Air Force he entered the training camp, from which he was commissioned as captain at the age of 24 years. Captain Hickes 317th Ammunition Train. Capt. Wm. E. Davis was born and reared in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., where he attended the Armstrong Technical High school, where his connection with the corps of that city probably awakened his desire to be a soldier. Graduating from Armstrong he entered Howard University, where he finished the pharmaceutical course and became pharmacist. In the hospital at Tuskegee. He is another graduate of the college, and received his commission last October in Des Moines. Lieut. Benjamin E. Ammons Every inch a soldier. A native of Texas, he finished the public schools there and graduated from Tuskegee. Impressed by his ability, Dr. Booker T. Washington retained him as a member of the faculty and assistant compartment of the department. Later he became commissionant at Western University, Kansas City, Kan. being commissioned in the state militia. At the Des Moines camp he won the position of first lieutenant in the Officers' Reserve Corps and is now seeing with the Headquarters' 315th Troop and Military Police, 92d Division. Lieut. Tacitus Gaillard hails from Savannah, Ga. He is a graduate of Jurksee Institute and received his first military training as a cadet in the Army. He attended school. After graduation he was employed by the Board of Education at Kansas City, Mo., as instructor in brick masonry at Lincoln High school, where he worked in architectural buildings. Aggressive and enthusiastic coming from business and civil life, he quickly adjusted himself to the environment and fills an important place in [Co. D. 840th Machine Gun Battalion]. Lieut James Edward, Fladner is second lieutenant in Co. 1436th Machine Gun Battalion, and is in Summerville, S. C. Receiving his early training there, he went to Kansas City where he was developed under direction of the physician at that point, and by constant application was constantly a winner of honors in the schools there. He was promoted up among the first from Kansas City and was commissioned on October 15th. Prof. Clarence A. Guillot is now in charge of the Knights of Columbus War Activities among Colored soldiers at Camp Funston. He is doing a splendid work and has made the large, well appointed building that this organization has provided for the years 1924. a headquarters for athletic activity and social recreation. Prof. Gullot comes to his new work well prepared. He has held the chair of French at Howard University until 1991, and is now a graduate of Fisk University. 3611 was a graduate student at Harvard University, and a special student under Prof. Dek Champs, University of Toronto. 3612 was at Harvard he admitted to the medical faculties, being the first and only Race man admitted to this organization.

Dunn Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill., March 15, so many things, commendable and obvious about spoliteness and写 on about conditions spoliteness and metals. The public, perhaps, considers itself fairly well informed as to our men's advantages and difficulties. Surely, at every camp, there exist con- ditions that are not always conditions which, if properly analyzed, would be found to reflect to a remar- table degree the feelings and sympathies of those men in control. In the words of Major Gen. Thomas L. Hess, commanding general of the 86th Division, addressed to the white officers and men at Camp Grant just before the arrival of the Negro soldiers. He made sure that he would take a such stand at the very outset that he would and growth of the hydrahedra monster, race prejudice, to encourage the absence of friction of any kind. Our next camp commander, Brig. Gen. Lon- dson, Ceceron, was none the less insistent that Barry's policies should be followed. Brig. Gen. Malvern-Hill Barrum Gen. Barrum commands the 183d Infantry Brigade of the 92d Division, under the able leadership of Gen. Non A. Caldwell; the medical detachment under our own capt. Julian Dawson, M. R. C., and the 350th Machine Gun Battalion, commanded by Major George M. Lee, grandphew of Gen. Robert M. Lee. He just mentioned are easily approachable and painstaking to the man, each vying with the other to make of his organization an efficient machine. Each has a history which, if space permit, would be the most skeptical to submit willingly to his judgment in every particular. Segregation does not thrive in the Camp Grant atmosphere. Of course, camp grants are supposed to support organizations, but so far as being stuck off in some remote corner of the reservation, separate and apart from all else there is no such thing. Our men are not supposed to be questioned when questioned as to their treatment, invariably say, "I never fared better." Twenty men are attending the third day of camp, sitting time, these men are accorded, like some librarians their fellows enjoy. All are seeking the same goal—a commission. At this moment officer of the brigade are attaining the rank of captain, the several departments of the infantry school of arms, bombers' school, signal school, school of gas defense and schools the mess intermingle with its apparent sign of discontent or pessimism. In fact, everybody seems too busy pushing forward the general and administrative tasks as the "better than thou" spirit cripple or daunt. The Young Men's Christian Association In a discussion of the Camp Grant and Association, Mr. Snyder exerted by the Young Men's Christian Association should not be left out of consideration. These little green huts, located in convenient spots, with their sturdy walls, provide for study and assemble, have proved a blessing indeed: Our energetic executive secretary, Edward L. Snyder, is a fellow beloved. Surrounded, as sufficient corps of assistants, Snyder too can wear the boys in their "off" periods. There is always something going on at the No. 7 "Y." I mean something full of life, of sufficient impose to attract from all over the camp. It is great to be in an atmosphere where you are not -circumscribed; where your ability to grasp and your cuvette to maintain are your limitations; where you cannot about in any and every direction without the slightest fear of interference or molestation. Such is the atmosphere at Grant; and we prefer being hover around the below curve; does hover around the below curve; and the leccles of frigid zone proportions display themselves in gorgeous splendor. We delight in it. Fervently do we hope and pray that such an atmosphere may enable to every canto most we want to be gathered preparatory to making the supremeest sacrifice. Such is possible. That springs from, unselfish hearts, To physically build up the regiment And manfully playing their parts. Never the case too stubborn, And never the hour too late, For them to enter the battle, Some bacilli to checkmate.

THE BOYS IN THE ARMY SATURDAY, MARCH 16. 1918. SOLDIERS INSURE AND WISELY PROVIDE FOR THOSE LEFT BEHIND Emmett J. Scott Urges Wa Risk Insurance; the Time Limit Is Now April 12 Washington, D. C., March 15—Emmett J. Scott, who as a special assistant to the secretary of war, is looking after the interests of Colored soldiers and people of the Race generally during the present war, has issued the following statement which is a real human message of vital importance to the families and dependents of the Race soldiers and sailors now serving in the army or the navy of the United States: "In addition to thousands of these soldiers," said Mr. Scott, this week, "who are enlisted in the regular army and national guard, thousands of other men have been drafted under the selective service law and have been taken away from their families for the purpose of serving their country in this period of national emergency and need." Further, Mr. Scott writes: "As a measure of justice to the men who have been called to give their country, the Congress of the United States has enacted the war insurance law (sometimes called the soldiers' and sailors' insurance act) which provides for the wife and children of the enlisted or drafted man during his service in the army or navy and compels him of his pay for their support." "The first obligation of every citizen is to his country, but there remains a duty second only to that principal name, a man's duty, to protect his life, to protect himself from any eventualities of the war. The soldiers and sailors' insurance act makes it possible for the soldier and sailor so to provide that, no matter what man or woman is measured that his loved ones at home will never become the objects of charity." Compulsory Allotment "The law says the first thing that a soldier must do is to contribute in fair measure to the support of his family, and to give him a camp or cantonment he must answer truthfully whether he has a wife, children, or divorced wife who is entitled to almamy under a decree of court, or to a government will pake what is called a 'compulsory allotment', or what perhaps might be better called a deduction from his pay, and this monthly government whether he wills it or not. A soldier must allot to his wife and children at least $15 a month. That is the minimum. This compulsory allotment is made to his wife and children and to the divorced wife. If the soldier chooses, he may make a voluntary allotment for the support of his mother, father, brother, sister, and nephew. If he compelled to give more than $15 toward his family's support. That depends upon his pay and depends upon the size of his family and the government gives an 'allocation'. Government Alloviance The amount that the government sives, known as the 'allowance', is also the law and this monthly 'allowance' is by the government each month in addition to the soldier's compulsory 'allotment' which as deducted each month by the government's monthly 'allowance' is $15 for a wife alone; $25 for a wife and one child; $25.50 for a wife and two children; provided that the greatest or maximum amount allowed shall not exceed $50; a man may give or allow only $50 wages as he pleases over $15, but the amount which the government adds or allows is definitely fixed in each case. The father, mother, grandchildren, brother or sister of a soldier or sailor cannot get a government allowance upon the man in whole or part and they can't get it even then to a greater extent than he has been habitually only in case he has been contributing more than he has to allot to them he can come to the government for the allowance that all the government gives to each dependent mother or father is $10 per month, and to each dependent brother, sister or grandchild $5 per month. Compensation "The compensation' feature of the law is somewhat like the present system of pensions. If a person's compensation is sustained or disease contracted in the line of duty, an officer, enlisted to a medic, a man, an army or navy nurse, shall pay for it. If the disabled, provision is made for compensation of from $30 to $100 a month to him according to rank and pay) and to medical, surgical or physical death of the soldier. For a widow alone, $25 a month; widow and one child, $35 per month; widow and two children, $45 per month; each additional child up to two. If there be no widow, then for one child $20 a month; for two children, $20; for three children, $20; for four children, $20. Compensation for a widow or widowed mother shall continue until death or re-remainance at the age of 18 or at marriage, unless the child is incompetent. The United States shall pay burial expenses not to exceed $100.

Claim must be filed with the bureau of war risk; insurance, Washington, D. C., or in lieu of a claim or resignation, or within five years after the death is officially recorded. Government War Risk Insurance "The insurance' feature of the law is especially attractive and deserves most serious consideration and the widest possible publicity. The insurance coverage of government means more than life insurance to the soldier or sailor. It insures against death and total permanency of the soldier's government for the protection of the soldier and his family, in addition to the soldier's monthly allotment and in compensation for the soldier's government compensation. Every soldier and sailor in the army or navy of the United States insurance carries a policy or government insurance for the low cost of such a policy will scarcely be missed from his monthly wages. This insurance applies to infantry or after he or she shall have left it. Exposure to the extra dangers of war makes the cost of life insurance in private insurance companies prohibitable and obligation for the government to assume the risk of insuring hundreds of thousands of our soldiers who are making the supreme sacrifice, and to provide the care and or nurse now in the service, commissioned, enlisted or drafted, and of any age, has the right, between now and the present, to take out life and total disability insurance $10,000 at very low cost, with the government and without medical examination. Those hereafter enlisted or drafted can take out war risk insurance within 120 days after enlistment, etc. Soldiers and Sailors—Don't Miss This Royal Opportunity "The families and dependents of soldiers should write at once and urge their soldiers and sailors to take out war risk (government) insurance before it is too late. The time limit has been extended to the degree that to give all men in the service a fair opportunity to protect themselves and their families. The cost ranges from 65 cents monthly, at the age of 18, to 80 cents monthly, at the age of 51, for each $10 per month or only $6.50 per month for a $10,000 policy at the age of 21 years. This is a small charge on a man's pay—small in proportion to the benefits he receives. It is not deducted from his pay if he desires, thus eliminating trouble on his part. Not only soldiers with families, but even those with no dependents should be given the right to out war risk (or government) insurance. Why? (1) Because the insurance in monthly installments of $45. soldier is $1,000 of insurance should he be completely and permanently disabled. (2) Because he is married and has late date acquire, by marriage, whom he would be glad to make his beneficiary (the name of the beneficiary, in the case within certain prescribed limits). Also (3) when the war is over and he comes out of the army, he may not be given the right to out war risk or life insurance in a regular company. Many Soldiers Already Insured It is highly encouraging to note that, out of a total strength of 2,212, the 372d infantry, now stationed at Curtis Stuart, Newport News, Va., has written $12,577,500 of war risk insurance regiment only forty (40) men, with no dependents, declined to insure. It is likewise, gratifying to note that the 372d infantry, now stationed at N. J., consisting entirely of Race men, is one among a number of regiments officer and man in the regiment is protected by government insurance. Think of what this will mean to the Race after the war is over! The length and measure of respect it will bring to this great group of loyal Americans, enabling them to buy homes, go into business and become self-supporting citizens. Colored soldiers and sailors; Let me urge you to take immediate advantage of the generous provision that has been made in the matter of war risk insurance! Friends and relatives of Colored soldiers and sailors: Let me urge that you write and tell our men in the army that the government contract backed by the United States government, thereby obtaining insurance and creating an estate that cannot be attached, assigned or otherwise taken by their families and dependents against for at least twenty years to come! Tell them to act now, for April 12, 1915, their last chance. Editors, their last chance, physicians, business men, and all reading classes among the people are urged to spread information with respect among the families, and, as far as possible, among the soldiers, pointing them to this great opportunity. Application blanks and full information may be procured by any soldier from the bureau of war risk insurance, Washington, D.

Tyler THE COLORED REGIMENT They were calling for men; more men to enlist; More food for the cannon; more boys to be nursed "They know naught of fighting; now what can they do!" But they went to the front, these boys of the South, Through the shot and shell to the cannon's red mouth. While the star-spangled banner, above them unfurled, Carried courage and hope to the rest of the world. They were soon in the heart of the melee; the fray Seemed just about over and going their way. The white men and Colored, all quarrels forgot. Were fighting as one, 'mist the shell and the shot. When a cry rent the alm, "they have Though in each heart was born the courage to drag its folly to the enemy's clutches, "they were Of the brave Colored 'squad who battered their way To the brave To the star-spangled banner and brought it safe back, Though a score of their comrades were left in its track. When Pescos sent them*home, weary, wounded and spent. The city went wild, over the brave regiment. There wasn't an eye in the crowd but was wet As the crowd of the white and the Colored men met. There wasn't a hat but came off to the flag And the men who had rescued the dear rug. There wasn't a heart but beat faster that day. For the few who out there in the rude trenches lay. Brave boys, may the tale bring new courage to you. And make other men just as loyal and true. —Edda Perry Booth (white), $14 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, N. Y.

GREAT AUDIENCE GREETS SIMMONS IN CLEVELAND GREAT AUDIENCE GREETS SIMMONS IN CLEVELAND Cleveland, O., March 15.—The Auditorium of the white Y. M. C. A. was not half big enough to hold the crowd before he came to the wisdom and eloquence of Judge Conkling Simmons Monday night. The audience was at times too enthusiastic. The orator had a time of it when he was talking and then, at such times he would take it out on his friends, Charles W. Chesnut, the famous author, and Dr. Connex, the great preacher, who occupied the room. It must have been around upstairs that the Auditorium was being fired by rare eloquence, for the back of the room began to be young white men who had been attending the night school. They had a time. A New One Col. Simmons sprang a new one that almost brought the house to its feet. "My white people," he said, "are divided in war and that war is about, and what we are fighting for. I am not. "I am fighting and mine are fighting to maintain a record, subdue an enemy, knock out a terrorist, or from the nation's name. We are also fighting to keep 60,000,000 white people from these devoted shores. Heaven knows we are having a time when we are along with our white people already here." The orator did not forget that he was in Cleveland, the home of the gessecretary of war. "The own historian," he said, "The country found out this morning that Baker is in France, but every Negro soldier and every citizen of color was in the Emmet Square in Washington. We held him there, but peace will hold him there." "Forever Free" Col. Simmons took great delight in the signing of the civil rights bill by President Wilson last Saturday. He gave Dixie and drink from the bitter cup of fear, and hear the hoofs of horses in the night, I know 100,000 men of my country. American men let when they return from the bleeding fields of Europe. That was the hand of fate that held him back. He was a resident as he wrote forever free above all of those who have left the fields of bondage to carry the lesson of liberty 450 years ago. It was some time before the multitude got settled after that phrase dropped from his lips, certainly inspired. A American white man was prised "to the skies" by the orator. "Certainly I put him in the skies," he said. That is the only way I can resolve him from between me and the stars." Darkness to Light The orator turned aside to instruct the members of the Race recently arrived in the North. He shouted, "has thrown open the gates, and by the thousands we have passed from darkness to light. We have passed never to return. Our conduct will measure the freedom of the children. Take off that jumper, Christian law. Write your name among the street car, and if you haven't on the proper garments, get up from beside that lady, whatever her color." The Spot of Freedom "My native land is the spot of freedom. God selected it. No man can change it. Lynchers cannot change the land. We were chosen as the home of men who are to be gathered into the fold of humanity." "Note. He thundered, "note that whale leaves called for the blood of millions to establish and prove the touch that calls races back to men—note, I say that the lines were drawn distant scenes, and these shores were distant scenes, and these shores were when Liberty shall cry 'Peace,' and sword and saber fall to the ground." Col. Simmons is first in the hearts of Columbus, where he spoke in the famous Memorial hall that night. INDIANA South Bend, Ind., March 15.—Two sermons were preached at Taylor's A. M. E.

New York, March 15—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent to Gov. R. G. Pleasant of Louisiana the following telegram of protest against the lynchings in New Orleans near Delhi, La. on Tuesday, Feb. 26, the affair growing out of an accusation of hog stealing. The association's secretary, John R. Shillady, and his co-ordinator, Robert F. feasible attack upon the morale of the nation and as affecting national prestige abroad. Hon. R. G. Pleasant, Governor, Baton Rouge. Dispatches in New York paper report that three Negroes, whose names are given as Jim Lewis, Jim Jones and Will Powell, were lynched in the outgrowth of trouble between whites and Negroes, the lynched Colored men having been accused of stealing hogs. The National Association of Colored People, composed of representative citizens of both races, most emphatically protests against this defiant disregard for the rights of the Negroes and against this indoebolic attack upon the manumobile of this nation at a time when justice and law enforcement-at home are essential to national prestige and to the well-being of the name of our ninety branches and 10,000 members for whom we speak directly, but in the name of the law-we are not the law-who feel charged, humiliated and outraged that in the states of our nation mobs are allowed to take the time to their own hands and wreak vengeance because they happen to be black. These outrages, we would remind you, are not a matter of state concern alone, but affect the whole nation because of alleged hoog stealing put the President and the United States in a most embarrassing and difficult position when the executive of the country goes to protest, however tightly, against police committed in Belgium or Armenia. This is the second Louisiana lynching reported within thirty days by the press of the country. No reply has as yet been given to the press of Feb. 6 for information as to any action you might seem fitting to take in the circumstances of a Negro lynched on Jan. 26. For the information provided by which receive our regular press service we inquire what action you, as governor, propose to take to uphold the laws of Louisiana.

Another is a parson of society, Pet Bolton, a handsome, reckless young woman, who schemes her way through life. And the last is Muriel Schuyter, the beautiful daughter of a Wall street magnate. She is a charming girl of a young woman, a little and seems above suspicion. The latter is a man who is not injured by her automobile, and he is destined to play a striking part in her life. She is rescued by him after being kidnapped by "Red Ida" Gaffney and her gunman husband, the mad chase is unstoppable leading backward and unkilled in Manhattan Island. Fycheck Merithew is a man who is a man who pursues and is in at the this, thus getting substantially into Miss Schuyter's good graces. Later Miss Schuyler visits a Hebrew family which she has visited and, after a while, finds the family absent and by chance they step out on the tenement house roof. Suddenly Merthiwe becomes inexperienced, young, woman and in trouble which follows he falls, striking his head on the corner of a chimney. In the next day he falls into a hair. She tries in vain to open the dead man's fingers. In despair she cuts the lock of hair off, leaving it on his hand, and makes good her escape. "Red tad," having known Merithew, is arrested, but proves an ailis, as does Alphra Shaler. Pet Bettany and the rest of the spectacles. At the same time the evidence tightens around Miss Schuyler. Finally she confesses to Dr. Worthing, whom she has come to love. Heart-broken, she is now formed, and it is discovered that Merithew had died from apoplexy, expiring before his head struck the chimney in the staircase. This ends the police investigation, but the patient are worked out, and the patrons of the States theater will have a chance to see this great feature on Saturday and Sunday of this week, May 16-17. It is a picture for adults only. BILLY KING & CO.

SOME LETTER Woll, there will be many an old timer that will remember the writer of the following letter. If it was possible to top the Top Man, it was in the original, as it is as wonderful a piece of pen work as was ever drafted, and is woll worthy of the great works of the school, who knew the Roll Top Man when he was a chicken, first blooming into a pimple-faced manhood. Read: Cleveland, Ohio, March 8, 1918. 20:00 in New York. Dear Friend Terry: Reading of the weekly calls at The Old Roll Top, personally and by letter, reminds me that you love your fellow elements for your own enjoyment, and holding a column in the only real paper in Yankee Land. Some day, after I have saved a few thin dimes from these items, I will invite you to invade your domain and have a hoose leased from Kelly's (I know him not) to the Desk, to be able to say that I helped a little before you get on the road, according to your last week's dope. I am still siling ink, having opened a pen art studio here, and I am doing memoirs and lodge cards, engrossed resolutions, memorials, commercial designing, etc. Besides this I go out among the swell memoirs and lodge functions my sleight-of-hand hand works. Busy, is my nom de plume, for I love to hear the merry rustle of the elusive dollar. The merry young in London lettering takes on you in the street, the brillences in the long ago in Wheeling made me choke up and think a few more. I speak up, speak up, might tell the bunch old we are. Anyway, hats off to the old days when nobody weakened. Give my regards to my legion of friends, the glaze of the footlights. Some of them have no doubt thought me dead, for I have been my best, "howdy," for over two years. My best, "howdy," for over two years. Whose hope I have to meet some day ere Illinois goes dry. I am your well-wisher, for future years. JAMES A. WILLIAMS, MAGician, pianist and Pennan.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER INSULTING FILM PLAYS HAVE BEEN CANCELED The patrons of the States and other neighborhood theaters have no doubt seen several of the "Son of Democracy" episodes which introduce the history of the immortal Abraham Lincoln, from his boyhood days on. In the fourth episode, called "My First Jury," the story is shown of a youthful member of the Race's inclination to plunder poultry. The manager of the theater, George Paul, was out of the city when this episode was shown at States theater, and on his return the Old Roll Top Desk maid drew his attention to the character of the film, which was anything but uplifting, and as a consequence Mr. Paul immediately canceled the following episodes, declaring that at no time would he be willing to stand for the exhibition of anything that might be distasteful to the patrons of his house. The Lincoln theater has taken the same action and has the Atlas regarding this serial. The co-operation of these gentlemen with the Old Roll Top man in his effort to make the theaters in the "belt" places of unadulterated amusement is to be commended, and speaks well for the broad view of these managers, who, at a substantial loss, have sacrificed the deposits required of them in the advance booking of this serial.

There follow three days of revelry, during which Cleopatra witchery and beauty. He accompanies her back to Alexandria and, in the oriental splendor of her life, he recounts all memory of native land and people. One year later in Rome, Octavius, disconsolate wife of Antony, grieves for her brother, Octavius. He addresses her to set off for Egypt to reconquer Antony for herself and for Rome. This forbids her to return only contempt and so snorn in the palace of the Ptolemaeis. She returns to Rome and incites the senate against the great Roman army, under command of Octavius, saints Alexandria. In the concluding battle the combined armies of Rome and Antony remained loyal to him, and the remanded love to him, to crushed and Antony, realizing that all is lost, commandes one of the few soldiers he remained loyal to him. To the beautiful Cleopatra, the woman's wiles on mankind, pleading with all her voluptuous beauty and cleverness of mind to spare her kingdom. But Octavius, determined to end her reign, promises only a life of slavery, and he is the victim of the death of Antony's grave before her, finds solace in the fangs of a poisonous asp.

VICTORIOUS Cincinnati, Ohio, March 15—On March 6 the followers of the Maroon and White were given a rare treat, that they were given a pair of shoes and a local all-star white team, severely trouncing the latter 15 to 27. Though a lopsided score, the game did not lack caused many hurdles and unquashed both caused many hurdles. The pale-faces came down feeling assured that they could duplicate the latter 15 to 27 in Rubicon, but their darker bodies nestly preparing for them and swept them off their feet at the very opening, thus the eccentric forward, hands that held the ball, while Gray and Tenn were the muses that played havoc on the offense.

Redding Blow American Gi Redding Blows and the American Giants Lose, 3-1 Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 28. The tenth game of the baseball series between the Breakers and the Point-claws was played this afternoon at the Hall Park and resulted in the Point-claws winning by the score of 2 to 1. While the game was a very excellent one there were no particular features which stood out prominently, unless perhaps it was 'Cockrell's pitching for the Breakers' which was of the high quality. In this position in a the style, as he had had prior opportunities for assists and put-outs and took care of them all. 1 A beautiful catch by Duncan in the eighth inning of Gonzales' long fly ball. The starting play of the Point-claws. This hit was a homer but by fast sprinting Duncan got the ball. Reddling occupied the mound for the Draw With tling Nelson better boxing at long range the middleweight shone over the young white chunk of glove fury from Brooklyn. Stocky as the side of a house, Nelson in his rushes frequently carried Langton before him, where when close looked, he played on the body and head in a somber sort of fashion that took much of the edge off the dusky star's ring form. Occasionally, too, Nelson swung to the face and head, but not with sufficient frequency to accomplish decisive results. In the face of the disconcerting catapulting Langford did well and at the finish many were in favor of awarding Nelson a shot to his head to a flash knockdown with a left hand in the opening round and earned it easily. For the next three rounds Langford appeared puzzled at the awkward attack of the other, but when at times he hooSED up and played right into the face and body, he hung Nelson merrily and had much the better of the mixes. Langford was sore at the frequent clenching of his opponent and at the close, with both men tricking a bit more from the mouth, he glared razors at the battler at the final handshake.

Defeats the Whale For a round the Fighting Whale, a strong and hard hitting white lad, battled it ferociously with Kid Fewelchots and out with the dusty problem, and after an exchange of long-range swings in the air, came out of a raily and was counted out. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Pointinamas up to the sixth inning and pitched a good ball, but as Dixon was put into but for him in the fifth, he was put out by him in the mound in the sixth, and finished the game without having a run scored against him. In sixth inning, Hall took first on a fumble by Francis. Thomas sacrificed. Hall going to second. Gonzales soaked a hot grounder to Williams, the stopwatch, which he failed to hold. Hall scored twice, and the Gonzales took second and the next man up. Lundy, lined out a two-higger to right center, scoring Hill and Gonzales. Lundy stole second, and when trying to score, he was hit by a thrown ball, which permitted him to score on the play. Three runs. In the sixth, Demos hit to center for the first inning, and second on Hill's grounder to Lundy. Dundy was out at first, Channon to Gans, Petway hit to Thomas, who dropped the ball. Hill scoring, Francis lined up to the ball, retiring the side. One run. Connie Lewis, the genial and efficient ampire who has officiated in the 1998 State Championship at Palm Beach, is in receipt of his contract for the coming season as ampire in the New York State League. The clubs composing the league are the New York State League, in New York State, and Harrisburg, Reading, Willebsarre and Scranton, in Pennsylvania, and anyone officiating an ampire, the foregoing cities must be honestly busted and of keen judgment to be successful. The fact that this is Connie Lewis' second year with the State League means he is the right man in the right place. It is not generally known that Rube Poster, the manager of the Policnaires, was generously in permitting last Wednesday's game after the sixth inning. He could, on the umbrella's allowing Thomas to continue in the game after once putting in his first pitch, but he had taken his men off the field. But not wishing to 'disappoint the spectators, many of whom had attended the game because for the benefit of the team' Slick hit a home run to continue and he counted as one of the series, the Breakers' finally winning in the last half of the ninth. Thomas was n't at the earliest cost of Captain Williams, of the Breakers, who claimed he had no one to put in Thomas' place; and rather than have him played by unnecessary wrapping and flipping the game, Lewis permitted Thomas to remain in, after his apologizing for his conduct. scores for yesterday's game were Pointclas— r. h. c. p.o. a.

Playing with every ounce of strength and with every hit of science at their command, the "Lightning Five" basket ball team of Carlton brawn, M. C. A. of Brooklyn, X. N. defeated by the famous St. Christopher machine of St. Philip's Parish by the score of 32 to 24. From whistle to whistle Carlton played St. Christopher and held the French House boys safe at every stage of the game. Carlton started the scoring and and a six point lead before St. Christopher started, and maintained this lead all through the half, when toward the end they increased their lead three points, thereby finishing the half with the safe margin of nine points. Score—Carlton 20, St. Christopher 11. At the beginning of the second half Carlton again came to the front with a rush and in lightning-like fashion scored three clean field goals before St. Christopher could see the ball. This gave Carlton six points more, which increased their lead to fifteen points. At this point St. Christopher began a drive to save the game, or at least to put down Carlton's big lead, and just how well this was accomplished can be seen by the fact that St. Christopher pitched ten points, which cut Carlton's lead to five points. However, right here the ball was tightly bounced by the basketball hold ball by tightening up and holding St. Christopher safe, and in the meantime adding three more points, which brought the score up to an eight point lead which was retained until the end of the game. Carlton's guarding was excellent and without a doubt the feature of the outplayed and outscored Harold Jenkins at center, and the foul shooting for both teams was exceptionally good, having the edge on St. Christopher in the first. It isn't a question of which team is the best team. The big point is that Carlton was best in this game, and when I say best. I mean from every couple. The Brooklyn boys also displayed better sportsmanship. Of course, after the game was over a few of the other teams. The top of the group was, such as "robed by the reference" (one of the oldest ones used by defeated teams), slippery floor, ball was too big, ball was not the right weight, and ball was round when it was played. The whole team was in a状态. However, everybody was the game. However, there who are intelligent enough to understand basketball and cannot be bought to camouflage St. Christopher's defeat, will admit these excuses to be a lot of "bunk." When they were in the match, they were at Lycum it makes them appear ridiculous, for the simple reason that their teams having been playing and winning games of that very court for many seasons. Only last season they defeated Carlton on this very court by a score of 1.0. The whole team was able it is. The whole matter narrows down to the fact that with the exception of three of St. Christopher's players they are sore losers. The team is not a champion team and is not even of championship caliber, because they do manage to meet one they go to pieces. The minute you play St. Christopher, man for man- and fight them every inch of ground, you have got their number. In this Carlton-St. Christopher's match, the Jenkins was the man that kept the game as it was. If it wasn't for "F" Carlton would have run rough-shod over the whole machine. Vaughan as manager and Accoo as coach deserve a great deal of praise for developing the Carlton team to its present-status. *Carlton*-field goals, 18; foul goals, 6; total points, 32. St. Christopher-field goals, 8; foul goals, 8; total points, 24. Carlton oven outscored St. Christopher in the field by ten clean points, who proves their superiority in this game.

It speaks well of or the first playing of both teams that the team has won. The other side that neither side is ever very far ahead. It looked as if the Peñelanes would hold the innings, when Barber single to center, and the next three men up were easy outs.

Williams scored on Whittier's dandy triple and then Barber JOE WOLCOTT PROUD BECAUSE HE IS DOING HIS BIT FOR THE U. S. Former Champion Is Fireman on a Tramp Freighter; Is Satisfied With Lot St. John's, N. B., March 15.—In the murky foe-castle of a trahatlantic trump lying at West St. John, the Times Correspondent found Joe Wolcott, the famous "Barbadoes Demon" and one time welterweight champion boxer of the world. The feet that had so often been encased in ring sneakers were now covered with heavy fire room boots, for Wolcott has forsaken the ring and is now a fireman on the freighter. Dressed in dingy dungarees with a smooth bit of toweling tied about his neck, the "Barbadoes Demon" did not resemble very much the great fighting machine he once was. The fighter who had so often eaten his meals in some brilliantly lighted cabaret in a sporting metropolis, was having his evening meal by the struggling light which came through a grimy port hole, and the once bubbling champagne was replaced by a mug of steaming tea. But the former welterweight champion is happy in his new environment. "I guess I'm out of the game to stay, all right," he said as he shrugged his massive shoulders, the only physical evidence that remained of his once-gigantic body. "The game to be sure, but it looks better than it is. You see. I'm pretty comfortable here," he continued as he raised the tin cup to his hips with a finger. "I see many a knockout blow. 'I'm not one to run down the boys in the fighting game, but I've, found since I left it that there are friends when you are and other friends when you've broke the first bunch, the most numerous." Wolcott is an old man now. Not old in years, for he is only 15, but old because of the physical strain which he has been under for so long, he broke that on your 'Mysterious Billy Smith' and he was sure some scramper," he said as he held up a hand to his face. He was terribly terribly Billy Smith and I fought off her and were more evenly matched in our prime than any other two men in the welterweight division and the fans were more than remember that we never passed up an opportunity of meeting on another." History Confirms Him Wolcott and Smith fought on several occasions for the wolterweight championship and first Wolcott would defend it. He was the tablets on his dusky opponent. Sporting records will show that Wolcott's statement that one never passed up the opportunity of meeting the world champion about 12 years ago Wolcott retired from the ring for good and it was with deep regret that he was the ringside fans of the greatest fighters one of the greatest fighters of his time, with a terrific punch and great ability to stand punishment. He then suffered a routine time cut and was born on a transatlantic freighter. He is still the good mature, philosophic man, as was shown when he fought in the boxing enough to eat and good pay, so why should I, even though I once held the wolterweight title, be quarrelling with him. This was followed by a grin which showed a row of magnificent white teeth. The Barbados Demon still carries the marks of many battles. His record is many sets of gloves and his features, Attention, Baseball Managers! C P PROUD IS DOING THE U.S. The scores: Polishhawk: 1. f. h. p. n. p.

The Original Incorporators and the zaid infantry basket ball game scheduled in played at Manhattan Casino on Friday evening, March 5, was not played, the boys from Camp Upton not putting in their appearance. As no notice was given, quite a few people traveled to the casino and waited until HIcheck, the money returned to them. The game had extensively advertised for the past two weeks and mystery surrogate companies whole affair. Somebody commaplified in basket ball circles. We have no doubt that Mr. Couper meant well in his undertaking, but evidently somehow compromised his besties, quiz.

He is often called to settle shipboard swabbles on matters of ring lore, and needless to say his decision is always a point of contention, a peak in any argument. He is an eager reader of the sport sheets and he is only lost at sea, so he said, when his friend was a big old friend, John L. Sullivan, a big man and a bigger fighter" was Wolcott's tribute to the former heavyweight. He was fighting in the ring all his life" added Wolcott in fighting the time but helping to keep alive the interest in the United States. Sullivan loved every fighting and fairly and loved him until his death. Wolcott is rather proud of the fact that he is doing his "kill" for his country at the present time, in quite as the summer as we are in boys in the front yard. He is not the son of the sons several times since he took his present job and the men believe that he is a hicky mascot for their ship, for she has run the submarine blockade successfully ever since Wolcott joined her. The officers of the ship speak the highest terms of the steam boating prize fighter. They say they could not win, but they are and on many occasions he entertains them with his wealth of reminiscences.

If You Think He Is, Write Today to Your Congressman and Senator and Tell Them So Just before adjournment last September, Congress hurriedly adopted the Zone System for second class postage rates. It is a bad law, and there is still time to change it since it does not go into effect until July 1. One of the clearest presentations of the folly of curbing our national education comes from the pen of Professor J. W. Linn of the University of Chicago—a man of knowledge and vision, who sees our country as a whole, reading and thinking and feeling as one people. Read what Prof. Linn says: If the proposed Zone System of postal rates should be adopted, the result would be the extermination of a very large number of periodicals, and as far as the rest are concerned, a large increase in price to the subscriber. Now, I am not speaking from the slightest financial interest in the publishing business. I have no connection with it whatever. I am a teacher in the school and been open for eighteen years. What I should like to point out the result to the nation if you increase the price and limit the circulation of newspapers and magazines. Many of these NEWSPAPERS and magazines have a definite, even what might be called a formal, educational influence—particularly in our schools and colleges—used in our schools and colleges to try as text books—used in courses in literature, in composition, in history, in civics, in science. Hundreds of thousands of copies weekly or monthly are so employed. They have taken a recognized place in modern education. The whole effort of that education at the present time is to improve schools; to connect up boys and girls with affairs and to develop their vocational opportunities. There is hardly a big university, in the west at any rate, there are few small colleges, which do not employ them in class room work; and the number of high schools in which they are used runs into thousands. You say such magazines, or books, be eliminated. They must, however, pass on their great interest to increase their rates; the expense to them must be much greater; and so their use will be much less and their influence will be crippled. But this formal educational work, though important, is not the most important educational service of magazines and newspapers. Their great effect is in their spread of ideas. They get people to read. Books do not serve so well. There is such a thing as intellectual inertia, which is so likely to overcome it. The habit of book reading is good habit, but for millions in this country it is not cultivate. They will not sit down to a book; they will pick up a NEWSPAPER or a magazine. Now, is such reading, call it desultory? So Write to Your Congressman Today, and by So Doing Your Effort Combined With Others May Help a Just Cause. ROBERT S.

Emphatically it is. I am not going to say more than a word about the tremendous amount of real information, real education, that the magazines and newspapers give. YOU SHUT OFF THE NEWSPAPERS, WHEN THEIR CAREFUL, SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE HEALTH, INFORMATION THAT HIDDENS OF THEM ARE DISPENSING DAILY, AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO OUT AND SHOOT DOWN 10,000 DOCTORS; YOU WOULD DO LESS ACTUAL HARM. You say these newspapers and magazines would not be destroyed by these proposed new inquiries, and you would happen—you know that the richest subscribers would rise, and circulation would narrow—and just who would lose out? Why, just exactly the people who must have the reading habit if this is going to be a democratic nation—the small town people, the country people. These publications are printed in the town, the town, the cheapest zone, you would be in and near there, the cheapest zone, you have shut off education just where it needed. The cities will read anyway; there are many educational opportunities in the cities, BUT THE SMALL TOWNS AND THE RURAL DISTRICTS DEPEND TO A LARGE EXTENT ON NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES. YOU SHUT OUT THOSE BOYS AND GIRLS, THE TWO AMAZING AMEN FROM THE READING HABIT. YOU SHOW OUT FROM THE FREEST POSSIBLE CIRCULATION OF IDEAS, JUST AT THE TIME WHEN THAT FREEST POSSIBLE CIRCULATION IS MOST ESSENTIAL. I SAY AS A COCULATION A MAN WHO HAS BEEN IN THE EDUCATION PROFESSION ALMOST A GENERATION. MY JUDGMENT YOU COULD HARDLY STAR NEARER THE HEART OF THE NATION THAN BY STABBING AT THE COUNTRY CIRCULATION OF NEWSPAPERS AND COCULATION.

Since we have had such an influx of southerners amongst us, the unscrupulous white man has succeeded in devious ways to live comfortably from practicing his many beguiling arts upon the trusting southerner. It is a well established fact, that the man is more superstitious than the woman, and the southerners have settled and established a little colony of their own, where it is, that the white faker has bought the bestest by plying his trade among the superstitious and unsuspecting folks. Just as the men discuss their business in the street cars, the women choose daily confidence, and for the past month, when in the grocery store, I have been compelled to listen, dally, of the powerful powers of fortune teller that had acquired the past, present, and future for them. I was led to believe, from fragments of one little woman's conversation, that she was my mother, family, to buy some charm which this man had promised would ward off all evil. My belief gave me courage to ask her to plain the futility of such things, it was a mere waste of words, for her confidence in him remained unshaken, principally, because he had told her she had written upon a piece of paper. The incident worried me greatly, then Fate was kind to me, for in recollection she was greeted by a little white man, with a Van Dyke beard and flowing necklace, asking me if I did not want my fortune told. Fearing that my eager mother opened the door, I replied that I had no money, but he had taken advantage of silent invitation, and was now comically sental and telling me of his wonderful lish confidence in him he asked me to give him a sheet of paper, and he would tell me anything that I might ask. To my writer must be answers to my questions. Covertly watching him, he tore the paper in quarters, and handing me a quarter, told me to write my first name, my husband's first name, and pllying with his request, he took the piece of paper and folded it twice, but it was not that piece of paper that he handed back to me, for he had folded it and handed it to me, fashion while I was writing but watching, and by a deft manipulation of his fingers, he handed me the blank quarter and kept the one that I had written of him, and with the paper pressed against my forehead and my head thrown far back so that he was out of my line of vision, he then opened the quarter and read my answers, and more shame to him, he repeats a most beautiful prayer while doing his perfidious trick to prey upon the unwary. After telling him that he needed to impress upon me that he could get thousands of dollars from the white race, but, he was a friend to my people and wanted to help us progress, so after bantering words with him for a monetary consideration if he would allow me to write a question. The same routine was gone through, and I had written "If I ever see or hear of police." A basty exit, a hearty laugh, but quite a deal of wonderment in the grocery stores as to what has become of the fortune teller.

CELIA PARKER WOOLLEY IS DEAD Founder of Fred Douglass Center Passes Away After Short Illness By Miss Lillian Chapman Women's position in society as promoter of commerce, education, philanthropy and religion is of modern origin, being a product of evolution. Her womanhood sense of justice is seen in the many avenues now being operated by women, with no one more efficient or congenious than Mrs. Cecilia Parker Woolley, a graduate of the University of Mich, where she received an early education, later entering the ministry of the Ullitarian faith. She was pastor of churches in Chicago and Geneva, as a member of her church watchword was equal opportunity and justice: her prayer for the uplift of humanity was, "Thy will be done." As a promoter of divine truth, her keynote was levy. Mrs. Wooley's work was not limited to church life, but sought expression in her work. She had a great ability as a gemini, who thought care her to rank as one of the bright lights of the Northwest. Her volumes, *Genealogy Hunt*, "Love, and Theology," "A Girl at the Gate," and "Slope," and more recently "The Angel at the Gate" has caused much comment. Her contributions to the daily writings of various issues have resulted in numerous articles of those who lacked sufficient data. The constant calls from churches, clubs, student bodies for lectures of a sociological nature, has us with the value of her wise counsel. Mrs Woolley an Organizer As an organizer, Woolley's initiative instict was most keen. She was an associate founder of the Chicapecan and most influential similar body of women on this continent, now numbering more than twelve hundred. At the Forty-second celebration on the 50th day of February, she took part on the program, but was prevented from doing so by ill health. She provided her part in the art and literary department of the Equality league had a valuable member in Mrs. Woolley, who always taught the woman's suffrage cause and depended on her for the century past, at the Columbian Exposition in our World's Fair, Mrs. Woolley, with the co-operation of Dr. Jenkins, the writer known as the leader of Religious Fellows in the religious thinkers one礼 prevails, not a fellowship, service and worship. For many years she served as president of the woman's Western Unionian Conference. Foubder of Fred Douglass Center Founder of Fred Douglass Center the latest achievement the Frederick Douglass Dockery fourteen years ago in the home of judge E. O. Brown, when a hundred of the people he was called to discuss the advisability of such an institution. Its objects are: To promote a just and amicable relation between white and Colored people, to remove the disabilities from which the latter suffer in their civil, and industrial life, to encourage equal opportunity, service of race, color or other arbitration, to establish a center of friendlyness and influence, in which to needful information, and for co-operation to the ends of independence and justice, present location, at 3022 Wabash Jee, a three-story structure, was based for $3,500 and is paid for. opening of the center took place this year, an annual member-of one dollar. e-propaganda work was of the importance to Mrs. Woolley, for there she caused the removal of the unjust justice, people in justice. The work was done through the press, platform and pulpit, association with the Chicago an's club was a great source for justice, she freely had occasion to mention. Many Kindred Organizations Practical-activities in connection with boys' and girls' classes, women's clubs and Red Cross units are in the hands of D. A. M.

Our platform is an open forum for discussion of vital subjects along civic, educational, social and religious lines. We have a dedicated platform, pealed on our programs to lavish their wealth of thought in a worthy cause. Musical programs are a leading fearless and loyal community was always fearless and loyal and loyal to the sacred trust, serving a humanitarian cause with a devotion that only a consecrated conscience could bestow, bestowing the word he heard her white addressing the world to the city say, "Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe do not bother us much, for they keep their place," but when the child is in next door to you, sending their children to school with yours, keeps an automobile and dresses equally as well as yourselves, that causes the difficulty. We possess Negro with education and faith that causes uneasiness among the less informed. I wonder when the white man will emancipate himself and treat all American citizens, promote the cause of an unfinished democracy. Since one of the center's strongest principles is co-operation, its combination of a strong Urban league was made less than a month ago when the latter accepted the headquarter with us. The combination moving beneficial to both organizations. Death a Shock Mrs. Woolley never enjoyed robust health, her declining years causing a general failing of health, resulting in a broken arm and a broken leg for three weeks. Her death was a surprise to many. Saturday at noon the charlot came to the tile door and with the words, "Mother, I am coming," passed away. She was a devoted wife, deserved. She is survived by a devoted husband, Dr. J. H. Woolley, and a distant cousin, of Toledo, Ohio. The funeral services were conducted from her home, where she was a member of All Saints Church Monday, and in charge of Dr. Ronea Morse Mann. In touching words Dr. Mann gave expression of our appreciation or our great life that was called upon by God. Our world as a humanitarian being of unmatched worth: for it was the voice of all the people, God himself could use us as another Mr. Woolley. Her work is a model for a group of American citizenship was emphasized and made plain that it was appreciated by the beneficiary. The entire world has lost a friend. Mrs. Woolley gave evidence of their loving devotion to one who lived for others and not selfishly. The music was in charge of Prof. George Gerner's Polyphonic Choral Union, whose music is beautiful and gave tone to the occasion. A large memorial service is planned, to be conducted by Dr. Jankin Lloyd Jones, when he returns to the city after a spring vacation. He will be presented to Mrs. Wooolly's life and work will be conducted on a large margin.

C. MRS. KATHERINE GOILD Rich New York woman who openly declares for the rights of the Race and pleads that we wake up and quit being fooled. Mrs. Gould campaigned for Rev. Ransom. By a Staff Reporter "In championing the cause of your Race my attempt is to overthrow certain bad rules and bad practices prevailing in the North along political lines," declared Mrs. Howard Gould, noted suffragette and philanthropist, in a letter to a Defender representative in the North. On Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Gould's attitude toward the Race kindled when she ordered Ransom announced his intentions from the first-first district in New York. She braved the storm of public pressure to mount the platform in Row Ransom's campaign from convicting white people of insincerity and corruptness along political lines when dealing with our Race, stirred up the elements of whites who had practiced deception in politics, and it is said that in order to counteract the situation has been secretly launched to injure her prospect in the work to our Race in the South. Mrs. Gould's philanthropist representative to warn southern people of this corrupter intention, and to help us in allying themselves with my political party purporting to advance her ideas. Has Nothing to Gain "I have nothing whatever to gain in fighting for the rights of your people; I want no political office. I am not a politician; I want to be President of the United States, and, of course, you should realize that I am not working in your interest for money. I firmly believe that I am not working in your interest and I enter upon it with the earnest and sincere feeling that I am doing my full duty," she declared. Mrs. Gould said she was thoroughly impressed by South and that her strongest activities would be centered in that direction. She is a southerner by birth and speaks publicly and frankly on the mistreatment of Race in that portion of the country. Knows Conditions "I have watched with a sad heart the suppression of Negro men and women in many instances my recent visit to certain sections of the South brought about a change in the political opportunities and the scant political recognition is no less than one who can do believe that the Negroes only hope to be recognized and recognition as a man rests in his political representation through the work of the Negroes no large task.

I am aware of this defect, and it is my aim to lend every aid influence and effort in securing their rights, and to create a true feeling of democracy for the large mass of people. The Negro is such an elementary part of our daily life that there can be no excuse for overlooking his welfare." Mrs. Gould said in supporting her intentions that she intended to spare no pains in creating favorable sentiment for the best interest of our Race, and the striking argument in her favor is that she cannot be "bought out." She is not embarrassed in the least at the stand taken, and completely ignores the vile attacks made upon her by the southern copperhead press. The attitude assumed by Mrs. Gould should tend to enlist with her the entire support of the Race North, East, South and West, and it is expected that her work will receive undivided attention and co-operation wherever the cause is espoused. Mrs. Gould continued: "As I have said before, it slickens me to the soul to read frightful accounts of Negro lynchings in the South for supposed offenses which a white man might commit with impunity." "It is worth remembering that the body of racial equality has two sides and the problem, and I have lived in the study of it, as it only a southerner can, I have found that there are more white men ready to break down race lines and co-ordinate black women than there are black women in the white men." She declared further: Education Needed "I see no reason why 'the South should not give the children of your race equal education and机会 to acquire the same education and机会 to white children, and I want to see the Negro in America get simple justice for their opportunity to good and all his possibilities in citizenship. To my mind the blackest page in our national history is our treatise on Race. Would you have an active worker in the woman suffrage movement for a number of years, and, in fact, was largely instrumental in securing the right to vote for a woman is a born fighter, and a woman of sterling qualities. Her ambition to render a universal service is voiced in the "I would be a splendid achievement to break down the solidarity of the 'solid South' based on racial discrimination." She expects to leave the city Thursday, but expressed her wishes to return in the near future, and antidote the fear an address to citizens of Chicago.

The Madam was accompanied to the city by Miss Kelly, private secretary, Indi- sance, where she was given a wonderful reception. She was applauded the audience roared with applause and many gave her the Chautauq salute. Tella of Early Life The Madam who is modest and very unassuming, began by telling how she worked in the corn and cotton fields, how she washed an ironed and then dried it, and prepared a preparation for the hair. She did not appear for show or pump but to give a word of advice and be an inspiration to others who are in business; to show what a struggling woman could do, and abilities that await her, Grit, pluck, hard work and determination to make headway were the causes of her success, declared Mrs. Walker. When she left her job she did not spend her time in society; and got the confidence of the public by putting the best hair goods on the market. In all her career, it was shown that while she did not have advantages in the workplace, she did what the late Booker T. Washington said of her: "good business sense." Her First Big Enterprise Her first big enterprise according to her tenure was the screen operated by electrician Peoples of the Wabash Avenue "X" was at Indianapolis, Ind.

The interior-of her home in Indianapolis was plain, every piece of furniture with its handsome carvings, drapery, rugs, cutlery and factory was easily observable on the screen. It was at Indianapolis that Miss Lucy Filt, Louisville, Ky., became one of the co-workers and Miss Kelly, who is still with their private offices were shown. At the same place came Attorney C. F Ransom as her business manager, who was the business affairs. Buva Property, Inc. Madam Walker bought property in Indianapolis. She saw that these were good business investments. Money was invested in exclusive neighborhood property and then she would tell her agent that she wanted her people to rent them: she wanted them to have the use of steam heat, electric light Moss-Costello Wedding One of the most charming of quiet weddings of the season was that of Miss Ethelyn Inez Moss and Homer Park M.

The room, reception room, dining room and guest rooms, were shown and were the most costly of any home yet furried. The reception room was named for the late Booker T.

She gave $1,000 for the Y. C. A. at Indianapolis, a similar sum for the W. Y. C. A. and other towns, and aided homes for the infirm, W. Y. C. A.'s and helped individuals.

She has helped her people in Africa and gives a certain sum to Tuskegee Institute to educate three young folks who has been going on for several years. Organizes Women-Workers Madam Walker has agents all over the country. Last year she held a conference at Philadelphia, Pa., and, after a few months, it in many respects resembled the National Business League in that it brought business women together from different backgrounds, inspiration and enthusiasm from the man that has grown wealthy off the culture of hair by the use of the Makeup Artist. In this case, there will be a conference of Walker workers held in this city. Her business manager, Mr. Runsom, Indianapolis, is managing the program. One of the proud members of the Walker's talks and lectures is that she can point with pride to others who have become wealthy by her preparation. Sees Chicago Defender Plant Thursday Mime.
