In No. 2 plant Tallans, Greeks, "Pollocks" and others earn their daily bread, but the head of this department, who贮藏 all American white man, so bollittes the country whose flag protects him that he permits this outrage on black American citizens and shows the polished condition of his mind by giving more consideration to foreigners, who are acquainted with the customs of the land.

Detectives Harper and Whitley in Battle With Gun Men --- By Robert Butler A pistol duel and chase which lasted for three blocks and climaxed in a pitched battle between two policemen and a gunman in the alley at 33d street, between South Park and Calu- lare, on Monday night, ended in the arrest of the dark Sky Street, Wilson, and Charles Shelton, two members of the trip which have been terrorizing the neighborhood with over forty darling hours as a year. Scores of their victims have identified as men who held them up at the point of the gun, and following these accusations 14 charges have been made. As a result of these charges, both the police and the men made confession to a string of crimes and thrilling stories of escapes. About 10 o'clock the fashionable neighborhood in the vicinity of 33d and South Park avenue, were alarmed by the stillness of the dark night. The meeting forms of three gunmen followed her daughter, were powerless to lend assistance to the unfortunate woman, because entrance could not be forced into the locked apartment. Police came and in the doorway of the hall in the room she was sitting in found David sitting on the inert body of his wife, and, coward-like, as they rushed into the room, he drew the blade across his throat in sheer derision and mockery. Life was extinct when they picked up the body of Mrs. Davis, which was ransacked in the State street, where an inquest, held there Tuesday morning, was postponed until April 9. Detective Sergt. Mirtel Parker of the Fourth Prescinct station, Forty-eighth street and Wabash avenue detailed on the case, related a case of the previous deed which had been committed. "It seems," he said, "that Mrs. Davis wanted to go to the theater with her cousin and that her husband didn't wurt her to go. She evidently was intent on going anyway. She was going to the theater and she grabbed her and dragged her to the shut the door. Witnesses say that he took her pocket book from her and threatened her with a razor which he had in his hand. Fearful of the outcome of his purpose, she went into the dining room and made a furtle at her, rushed into the room, and cut the wires, disabling the service. Panther-like, he lunged at her, then tussled about the room. Then, no doubt, he struck her the blow which severed the jugular vein, she falling across the daughter, who had entered the room, saw him slashing his wife about the face and body."

Here in inky darkness, with only the flare of gunfire for a target, police strategy played trumps and won. The officers who made the arrests seemed to be in a defensive position, their identity was unknown, but closer slithering on the part of the Defender reporter flared the limelight on Detectives C Whitley and J. Harper of the Prefecture Station, 55th and Cottage Grove, New York, before the caste basht at first, but were coaxed into telling how they did it. "We were standing at 33d and Indiana avenue," said Officer Whitley, the same suspicious of three men standing near the Forest avenue, Somehow, I got in front of them while Officer Harper, my partner, got behind them. I then confronted them. I grabbed Simpson to the man, who was then attempting to drive him, Shelton point blasted at me as he ran away. I returned the fire. Harper coming up, took up the pursuit, leaving me to struggle to drive him, who was then attempting to drive him, Shelton point blasted from his grasp. The trail turned into the alley between South Park and Calumet avenues, and on a poren at the rear of 3325 Calumet avenue Harper compartment, man. Here a pitched buttress, man. Here two guns in an attempt to bring Harper in, cover he pitched one gun aside, and when Harper advanced, began firing again. Having spent all his rounds, he out the other gun and surredered. The other culprit is still at large." The following is a list of victims who have positively identified them: Harry Losch, 4300 Michigan avenue, $7; Rove Levey, 56.

FOR HAIR THAT WILL STAY STRAIGHT USE PALM CREAM AND PALM OIL The only safe and guaranteed straightener on the market. Say, Clara, Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. 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. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. 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. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents.

There is a lady in the here, and so one day I took and shaved my mustachios off, took a bath, put some nice cologne on me, flattened my hair, put on a clean shirt, shined my shoes, to enlist. Well, the soldier at the office he starts off by asking me how old I was. I told him that I was married, I was about 64, Garfield got married, was about 64, before he was assassinated. He put that down. Then he said, Are you married? and says "Yes, but my wife is working," and put me on the scales and I weighed 106 pounds; measured six feet high, but in my shoes, as he refused to let me be measured in my socks—for some reason, I was about 64, where there would probably be twelve million men drawn before they would reach me. Now, I am patriotic and I hate to get a card from him telling me that there would probably be twelve million men drawn before they would reach me that with the Foreign Legion, which Windsfield Jackson is with, you can light as you please after you get in action. Now, I am a razor artist, can cut hair, can tell the truth, I am such an artist with the blade that all the Race people in this town respect me. Here is a song that wrote; the name is right on the face, the tune of "No Use in Keeping Cow. Because the Wagons Give the Milk": THE FIGHTING BARBER "Nine hundred thousand fighting men Are ready for the fray. They've trained away all extra weight By nighting night and day. By shooters all have gained some width. Their middles have grown small. All of them cup or lunch—Prepared, to stand, or sland. Chorus All hall the man who'll blaze the trail. He sure must be some blazer. But I'll make the Hun take out and run if they let me use my razor. "I'll shave away his gas machine, "I'll creep out distinguishes; "I'll lather him from head to foot And amputate his visits." I'll chop away his listening posts, Squirt sea-foam in his spleen; Massage his head until he's dead And then snip off his bean." CHORUS—All half the man, etc., etc. —TONSORIAL, PETEY.

MUSICAL GENIUS A few days ago the writer had his first opportunity to hear young David Johnson display his wonderful ability as a violinist. He was so impressed and if he doesn't become one of the Race's most renowned virtuosos the writer will miss his guess by a mile.

The public will have a chance to hear him in concert in the near future, as arrangements are now being made to PAGE SEVEN WM. S. HART The celebrated star, Wm. S. Hart, will be seen in his latest release, books of the Roll," at the Pickford theater the noted actor will be seen in a new role. The picture is a malodrama of the West with a wealth of action and a romantic love story. The author, Andrade (Hart), the leader of a gang of outlaws who terrorize the country through which the Atlantic & Pacific railroads run Hart's mother, on her dying bed, prays that the new leader ensures her that he has done his last job, and from that moment will go "straight." And then he starts in to give the new sort of life, commencing with outlaws as they try to hold up the train on which are "Buck" and a detective sent out from the Eastern offices of the railroad, a famous tracker who is known for his bound." This detective is shot in the fray. Hart procures his papers and credentials and introduces himself to the local railroad officials as the man he is sent to clear the time of banditry. Vola Vale, as Faith Lawson, the sweetheart of "Buck," plays an important part. "Buck" has been given the title of "Obermeyer" in a road company upon the death of her father, who held the post, and she renders valuable assistance to "Buck" desperate encounters with the outlaws. C. Norman Hammond plays the part of the detective, and "Billy" Elmer is Pablo Trillies, who succeeds "Buck" as the mortal enemy of his former chief; Melbourne MacDonald as the railroad president has a very human role, and between "Buck" and Faith a romantic between "Buck" and Faith. Most of the scenes in "Wolves of the Rail" were photographed in the mountains of California, where a complete division superintendent's offices were erected. Thomas H. Ince says that he considers this the best picture thus far made for Artcraft, and with him you treasure, after seeing the great thriller.

Officers Pound Citizen Over Head With a Gas Pipe Shortly after 10 o'clock last Monday, the corner of 45th and Michigan avenue in Oakland's State street, was brutally beaten over the head with a heavy lead pipe by Deputy Sheriff M. Early and a son of the victim. The police station, 45th street and Wabata avenue. The attack on Mr. Valdes adds another victim to the improper use of firearms on the South Side. He is the third citizen within the last few weeks to be clubbed unmercifully by prejudiced officers who heaped upon women of our Race. Procedure of a legal nature has been instituted against the officers by Alderman Jefferson, who is representing Mr. Valdes. The trouble arose when Mr. Valdes was walking on 35th street, near Michigan avenue, in company with four young women. Two of these young women were walking a few paces in front of Mr. Valdes and were busily engaged in conversation between themselves. When they neared Michigan avenue, the two officers, thinking the girls were white, attempted to flirt with them, but received no response. When Mr. Valdes endeavored to explain to the officers that he was with the young women, they proceeded to abuse him and one of them remarked: "Nigger, what in the h— are you doing with these white women? Let's beat this darky's brain out. It makes my blood boil to see a nigger anywhere around a white woman." Mr. Valdes protested at this abusive language, and upon doing so was struck a vicious blow over the right eye, causing a deep gash to be inflicted. One of the officers, who was of southern parentage, boasted in his colloquial tones, saying: "This nigger ought to be down in Georgia." We'd string him up." During the intense excitement the officers had discovered that the women were not white and becoming angered at their mistake, they placed Mr. Valdes under arrest and ordered the women to vacate the spot. Covered with blood gushing profusely from an ugly wound, the officers proceeded with their prisoner in the direction of the 48th street station. When they reached 45th street they forced Mr. Valdes to march through a dark alleyway between Michigan and Indiana avenues and demanded him to stop and place his back against the wall. One of the officers placed a pistol against Mr. Valdes' side and searched his pockets. Unable to find any valuables, they threatened to kill their prisoner if he made known their intent. They released him after the searching. Mr. Valdes hastened to a telephone and called for a policeman, but in the meantime had met one on the street. He demanded the arrest of the two assailants, and they were hauled to the Cottage Grove station and booked on assault charges. The case came to trial Tuesday, but was postponed until a later date. The situation has become serious in the Second ward when white officers are allowed to accept women and beat up their companions. We, as a team, have responded to the respectable citizens by telling them that they have roasted men until their hides scented the atmosphere with an aroma that was stifling be dismissed by the police. Mr. Valdes bears an ugly wound on his forehead as a result of his resenting the insult of these burly white officers, the resistance offered this attack will be met with increasing ignorance in official positions to safeguard the interest of the city.

There were no complaints on the part of residents against the actions of the white soldiers, but Gen.

SIMMONS RECEIVES AN OVATION Continued from first page sald the mayor, "and against ode he will rise higher, ever higher, for his is a work beyond control of men." Mayors Could Agree The mayor referred to the Race people in Columbus as the "best in the world." The mayor, said the orator, "the mayor willfully refers to my Race in Columbus. I will be members of my Race. That is exactly what the mayors of Memphis and Savannah and Mobile would say of me. If the mayors would meet and agree upon that finding they would confer a favor upon me and a boon upon the county." The spokesman talked about the war, conditions changing as incident of the war; what the United States would and what his Race would like to do. "I Am a Teacher" "The American white man is the wonder child of civilization," he thundered, "but I and my people find our apprentice appointed to teach him the only lesson he learns. We will teach him patience, and moment let me instruct him in loyalty." "Why this indecision as to action? Do not my countrymen and my country not time revealed both our friends and our oefes? Who is it crying peace with speak for Americans also, I speak for our country also, and also know that their land is challenged and their nation contended. I hear to foe across the sea and their neighbour cry to be answer to the Haur's challenge. It is 'Victory through blood; persecution of the people.' From Memphis, U. S. A., to Berlin is far away by miles and leagues, but mine is the Race cager for the Journey; and that they go. And yet they are prepared to die at the call of Liberty that their children may live by the breath A Picture "Aspectacle greets my fancy," said the orator, in a great burst of eloquence. "see North and South, white and black; see the battlefield together with sons of Carnoy and Booker T, moving away in grand phalanx to order a decision on the battlefield behind me." I see Liberty writing as Justice upon her throne declares this decision to be the word found upon the dumb lips and seems to be instructing on the crimson field. I see arms stacked. Hercy wipes away her tears. Then Freedom, speaking from the mouthed lips and seems to be instructing her in new duties. Justice would know the word. She made her inquiry: "Where? In" freedom. Freedom seemed to nod her head. Then I saw the same sons who had wrought mighty deeds on the fields of France, standing on the peaceful banks of the sea waiting for Ships That Return." · Move Out The speaker made a plea to the mayor for houses for the newly arrived residents, he said, "and here they will remain. Ohio is one of the natural homes of those that seek peace with liberty. If you want to be a part of our means, build new houses for yourselves and turn those you are in over into houses, and know how to keep them." A feature of the meeting that was arranged by Secretary N. H. Allen was the presentation of Daisy Hall and the fine program by the Deshler Orches' a, the best in Ohio. It is not too much to say that this is the biggest night the theater ever had in Columbus. The orator left a midnight train. He said that he was going 40 miles into the hinterland of New York, a eighth grade graduates of a county school. They are mine, too," he said, and offered no apology.

"I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me." Where is the man in white American Christianity who will answer that call? If such an one should be found, and he should come forward and undertake to hold up to just reprobation this sin of race prejudice, he will meet with the same conditions as those that confronted Ismail. "And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not, and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn and be healed." The same condition of things will be found today in bringing home this sin of race prejudice,—the same lack of understanding,—the same blindness of eyes, and heaviness of ears, and hardness of heart. It is not a Billy Sunday that is needed for the work, but a John the Baptist that is needed for death rather than wail at wrong, even in high places—a man willing to dress in camel's hair, and to subsist in the land, and to be mighty he free to declare the whole of God. It is not a Billy Sunday that is needed, but an Elijah—a man who, when God said to him, "Go and land and in neighboring kingdoms for three years by an infiltrated monarch, when God said to him, "Go and land and in neighboring kingdoms without a moment's hesitation and confronted him." And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, "What is your land? Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the land, and that ye thou hast followed the Baalm." Our greatest need today is for men of this type of any progress is to be made in the church, in the church race-hating spirit within the church as well as without it. There is little in soul, with no enlightened view of the meaning of human brotherhood, or illuminating conception of the great God, so many moral cowards masquerading in the garb of the ministry. So that for some time yet, it may be, that we do not have to be misguided by basing conditions; but I believe it is not always going to be so. Some day God will speak through me; some day speak in a way to be heard all over the land,—heard in the churches,—heard in the places of amusement,—heard in the parts of government,—heard in the courts,—heard in the places of business, heard on railroad trains. In restaurants, he has places of amusement, in the science, enlightened by the Spirit of God. For the coming of such a man for me, for me, for me, for a movement, most fervently I do my work. It is plitable, when we think of the thousands of white men in this country, claiming to be ministers of the gospel—claiming to be ambassadors of God, representatives of Jesus Christ; and yet sitting down quietly in the midst of this spreading leprosy of race prejudice, and doing nothing to stay its ravages, content to have it spread, and to curse, as it is doing, both races,—embittering the Negro and dehasing the white man. Can it be that these men are ignorant of what is going on—ignorant of the nature of this evil doing so much to make life miserable for ten millions of human beings in this land, impeding progress, curtailing their opportunities, dogging and harassing their steps, offending their self-respect, subjecting them to all kinds of humiliations, exposing them to all kinds of insults, and simply because God made them of a different hue,—they did not make themselves, and are not responsible for the color of their skins. Are these ministers of the gospel, I say, ignorant of the sad, sad things that are daily flowing out this race hating spirit to these millions of Race people in this land or of the debasing effect it is having upon the white people themselves? Or, is it that they don't care? Which is it? That they are doing not to make the millions of people better, but rather by their sillens are we do know. And God will hold them responsible for their indifference, their luko warmness, their cowardly silence. This man, Rev. Billy Sunday, at times, seems to be a little courageous, judged by his vigorous denunciation of Jesus, but when it comes to this big devil he comes in his hands in him comes out in his covers before it he is afraid to speak out; at heart, he is seen to be a moral coward in spite of his blister and pretence of being heathen. How can he be Sunday, and, what are your ministerial brethren afraid of? The exhortation of the inspired record is: "Be not afraid of them, the more you can do. But I will tell you whom you shall fear. Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into action, say unto you, Fear him." Lakers. MORRIS-WALLACE NUPTIALS Buffalo, N.

Grimke Pastor of the Fifteenth St. Presbyterian Washington, D. C., March 22.—Rev. Billy Sunday's campaign in our city has now come to a close. He was brought here by the whites for the benefit of the whites; and, if he has helped them in any way, let us be sure that he has been well-manned, and needed badly, help from some source. Whether he has helped them, however, in the direction in which they are most sadly in need of help, may be doubtful. I was about to say. But I will not say that, for, I think, it may have been the best way to be assured of one thing we may be assured of one thing. And, my I not venture the opinion, more so than before he came. The members of our white church, I will not say Christmas, in this community, are now in need of help, but they have already been shoulder, chuckling in their sleeves, congratulating themselves upon the fact that they have passed safely through the ordeal of Mr. Sunday's dilatables, his scathing criticisms and disdain for the whole thing, and the one who called to time by him for this. They have a right now to feel, or to assume that there can't be anything wrong about race prejudice, nothing inconsistent between it and Christ-tanity, or this man, who claims to be a man of high rank, to be the true God. He has the climate terms with Jesus Christ, would, certainly, have included it among the many sins that were denounced by him while he was here holding forth twice a day for eight weeks. But now he has been demarined, of disapproval, and has been so well from his own mind, that he has been most, every other sin under heaven. I clipped from the Washington Times of January 8, the following utterance: "Present yourself wholly to God. Lots of people shy at that at word 'wholly.' If that were our watchword in this business, would be: what a stampede there would be in short yard stocks. Graft would be unknown. No lying in advertisement, but hadn't been a fire in four blocks for four months. There would be no licensed saloons, no drunkards reeling in the streets, no shaved sleeves. No fallen women. Wonderful!" On Wednesday evening, Jan. 30. In urging upon his hearers the acceptance of Jesus Christ, Mr. Sunday spoke from the pulpit, "I will be knocked," and, as reported in The Evening Star of Thursday, said: "If you let him in, out would go suspicion, and knock, and would go suspicion, slander, and all that turns night into troubled insomnia and the day into a mirage." True: but what about race prejudices. If he is let in," Mr. Sunday said, "he either doesn't know, or knowing, for some reason doesn't care to say. It is the one subject that he always stuniously avoids, always is as if the religion of Jesus Christ had nothing to do with it, was in no way concerned with it. The religion which he concerned about, he Christianized the religion of Jesus Christ is, and always will be, however he and others like him may shuil their eyes to the ground, and should be related to Christianity; should be brought under its condemnation, and that this darling sin, which so many are rolling under tongues as to knock, should alone be allowed to escape? The one thing that Jesus hated above everything else was hypocrisy, the hypocrites of his day—the proud, self righteous serbes and Pharisees. How terrific were his burning, blistering sins, the hypocrites of his day and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye thine mint and nausee and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, and have made the blind guides that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel! Woe unto you, serbs and Pharisees, hypocrites! to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him two-fold more a son of hell than yourselves. The white churches are doing today, compassing sea and land, through revival efforts of making comforteries, for the purpose of making justice, and making them feel that it is all right, that it is not necessary for them to get rid of it in order to be saved, and so they are hardened in their sin; and so they are made worse—made, in the language of Jesus Christ, for the sons of hell, than before they came. Will some of these white professors of religion—some of these white minors, arch-bishops, cardinals, stand up and tell us why this silence in regard to this sin, this heinous sin of race wrong about it? Or is it because of cowardice? If so, then the sooner the churches are rid of all such presidents, ministers, the better it will be for the kingdom of God. Christianity can never come to its own with such presidents, repressors, bowels, and mass-men towards representatives of the pulpits. What it needs, in the rank and file of its members and in the church, is a fear God, but who have no fear of man. I had hoped that Mr. Sunday, when he began, was a man of this type; but this race-hating public sentiment that THE WOMAN'S PAGE FRANCIS J. GRIMKE. Washington D. C. MRS.

COMMUNITY CENTERS Community centers are newly instituted into our school system, and while they mean much to the youth of a neighborhood few parents realize their importance. The board of education, realizing that the school building stood dark and unoccupied while young men and women sought their evening's entertainment in doubtful places of amusement, desired to remedy this displorable condition, and they offered the school building gratis for the evening's use of those in the community. At first little action was taken to guide the activities of those attending, and clubs and societies without definite meeting places found a haven in the schoolhouse. Later, because some came with no definite object or purpose than to spend a pleasant evening, classes were formed and instructors provided. Some classes were similar to the night school work, having a definite purpose. Others were along far different lines. There were game rooms, new games taught; sawing classes, knitting classes; and then there were the dancing classes. These latter are proving the most popular, because of the fact that they were widely from routine school work. I find that boys and girls seek recreation from studies, and that the schoolchildren from studies, offer them a wholesome recreation, and the dancing class solves this problem. The most of dancing and the average young person still in high school and so not as active socially as older brothers or sisters are satisfied. A hour is given over to teaching the mechanics of dancing and oh, how hard it is for these adolescent boys and girls to master them! How embracing the dance is hard. How humiliating alone with a private teacher! But here all are learning, and at first all are awkward. They learn a competent supervision. The other hour is spent in dancing through a picked dance program. It is a small dance in a way. There is an orchestra, a larger room for dancing and a dance hall for all conduct. The tense misdemeanor is reprimanded the moment it is detected. And so this entertainment is made safe for all participants. On special occasions there are concerts and community singing. All of these inducements are offered by the school that it may continue in the evening as well as by day to help children to children to a safe and sane adulthood. Visit social centers; send your children; help to support a worthy effort that is being made for your benefit. NOTED SOCIAL WORKER DIES Decatur, Ill.

Miss Harris is devoting all her spare time getting a plan whereby she hopes to establish a club known as the "Mothers' Comfort Club." She became quite so excited that she asked as to her program of preparation. I was coming from school one day when what she asked me to handing me a letter, asked me to read the name upon the envelope. After complying with her request she clasped her hands and what is from my boy. He is a soldier at Houston, Texas. Will you please read it for me? I guess that I must have Hooverized sleep the night of the incident for I law awake for many hours, planning in what manner I could help the mothers who had been called to the colors. The realization comes to me that there are many mothers who have written many whose resight have been taken; many whose hands have been gnarled by rheumatism, the relentless enemy of old age, and I resolved then and then to send them among my companions to form a club, and upon request we would visit the mothers and write and read their letters, and upon request we would write us we would visit his loved ones for him and write him a personal letter, telling him just the condition of both have in the way they would mention the medium of documentation. Of course, my plans are yet in their infancy, but by tireless effort I hope they will reach maturity and be well cared for. I am so glad that you called for, for the Chicago Defender seems to reach every spot in the universe; and in a week's time I would be good than I could have hoped to accomplish by months of tireless endeavor, for my address will be published soldier or mother who may need us to know that we are at their command." Miss Harris is a Bostonian by birth, but has received most of her education from the University of Pennsylvania four-year general course at Wendell Phillips High school and is now taking a business course to be completed in five months. The专职ist of no mean ability and is president of the Y. W. C. A. Gleo Club, of which Prof. James A. Mundy is the sponsor. I hope that the young girls of her education will be prepared with her, for it is a project that will insure the commendation of every one. Mrs. Jennie Howard Dies MISS.

IS HELP TO RACE GIRLS Assistance Is Being Given to Our People Who Are Engaged in War Work Assistance Is Being Given to Our People Who Are Engaged in War Work Washington, March 22—American women are caring for the welfare of Race women engaged in war industries. They are making efforts to bring Race women into effective organizations for carrying out of constructive national measures among the Race population. Through their welfare organizations they are taking steps to guard the morality of numerous girls employed in munition factories and in other war industries. One of the prominent woman's organizations that has taken up the problem of guarding the welfare of the Race woman war worker is the National Y. W. A., $400,000 budget of the Y. W. C. A., $200,000 is to be used for war work among our women and girls. Among features of the association's program is one to furnish leaders for Race women to train them to carry on work among their own race. The association is taking care of emergency housing in war industrial environments. Government factories employ Race as well as other public Lectures on social morality for groups of Race women near the cantonments is one part of its welfare For this purpose the association has secured a list of All Race women graduated in schools in the country in twenty years. Organizations of our women for war purposes is proving difficult because of rumor rumor prevalent even among them. Many refused to register in one city because they believed they would be seized by the Germans, like the Russian women.

Collins "Hell, can't you wait till I get the damn nickel!" One knew without turning his head that the speaker belonged distinctly to our Race. I reserve, of course, the cellphone. One other—27th street—the one stopped to take on more passengers. Then the excitement started. It seemed that to this particular bunch of folks belonged the specific right of cursing, using the words, and relating rowdiness and indecent conduct with bad gun and worse whisky. "Hey, Bill, come up by hiver; you ain't in Ringham." "Oh, up, you bottle of ink" was the rejoinder, and this was followed by loud, uncount guffaws. That ride from 27th street to 39th was memorable. Tauculated, it was this: At 32d, a fight. At 32d, a gentleman of Color wanted to throttle the motorman for not remembering that his excellency always got off at 33d street. At 35th, a woman bored the motorman, dealing to heed a signal that he never got. At 36th, a "stroll-hound," or, rather, a "night-owl," undertook to imitate a nightingale. At 36th, a devoted lover began with goodly show of ardor to apply his lips to those sweet ones of his beloved. Now, these things, to a lay mind, were interesting, to be least, and, most importantly, to be the most impersonal, but then they changed. At 35th street a great, robust fellow landed a pair of 12's on my insecurities. I never seemed never to know this painful fact. I began to wiggle my toes, but that effort was vain. I don't suppose he felt the movement. Finally, unable to hold two hundred ounces pounds long enough, he bowed and said, "Please, sir, are on my foot." "Humph," he said, as he glanced down. "Put it in your pocket!" But he moved off, I suppose, that I might comply with his words. Soon after I went front to smoke. I did so for two reasons: (1) Safety first; (2) to escape looking into the eyes of my suffering fellow passengers at unpleasant conditions, to protest to those indignities. If I thought peace had come, I was badly mistaken. My friend—the one who stood on my instamps—came also to the search, and I searched his pocket for match. Unsuccessful, he asked me for a "light." "Sir, I can accommodate you. I put my matches and not my feet, in my pockets." He laughed, as I knew he was not in my station. We talked of many things and although he was "teed-up" a bit, he wasn't absolutely as far gone as he would have one believe. Feeling that the moment was opportune for the question that was next to me, I asked him to look at the associates derived from their bad conduct and if he didn't think it reflected in a notorious manner on our Race. He knitted his brows as if in deep thought and presently, looking up, saw that he was at the transfer point. Soo hyar, he exclaimed, as the motion of the apples flappet, "understand? I don't give a damn!" No further comment is necessary in this presentation of an experience that is true to life and 100 per cent accurate in its essential details. It has been written around the personal prologue of his flappet, but this evil of misconstrued places and especially street cars touches every decent, respectable person in our section of the city.

When dissolved in acid, add 1 Stir well, then add 1/2 cup lukewarm water, which 1/2 yeastcake has been dissolved. Stir well, then add 2 quarts (even full) of entire wheat flour. Mix till all the flour is taken up and dough forms a round ball. It must be elastic but not sticky. Let rise over night to double its bulk, cut down, rise clean and rolls. This makes 1 1/2 dozen rolls (1 put them in gem pans so we can have lots of crisp crust) and 2 large leaves. Now, in molding, grease the fingers, and if you measured accurately the dough will not stick to the hands. Don't add any more flour. I let bread right out and double in bulk. Use dough mold on board. Don't mold on board. Put into gas over and light one burner. Bake bread 40 to 60 minutes, bake biscuits 20 to 30 minutes. It depends on the gas pressure you have. If dough has risen fully double light two burners and then turn it on immediately, then turn off one for the rest of the time. If your bread comes out of the oven sticky, it either over-raised and fell or it is underbaked. Try this exactly according to measure and let me know results. I sometimes leave out one pint of the whole wheat and substitute 1 cup of rice flour and 1 cup of milk. The dough is easier to digest than the yellow and makes a better looking bread. Cut match-like strips of pork from that portion of a piece of fat salt pork which lies just behind the rind; draw these into the best looking side of a calf's liver, or entirely through the skin into a frying pan, and pour the fat is well cooked out put in the liver and cook until nicely browned, first on one side and then on the other. Set the liver in a casserole or in agate pudding dish. " cook 2 tablespoons of flour into the liver, and stir with broth or water, and stir while heating to the boiling point. Pour this over the liver; add 2 sprigs of parsley, $\frac{1}{2}$ red pepper bulb, a bunch of celery, cut in 2-inch pieces; or 6 or 8 carrots scrapped from the vegetable. Cut smaller pieces if carrots are large, and 1/2 dozen ones peeled and browned in butter. Cover and let cook two hours in the oven. Remove the liver to a serving dish and surround with the legato Potato and Parmesan cheese and pour over the whole. Hull a cup of tomato juice or of wine may replace an equal quantity of broth. Anchevy Salad A salad that came from York State. This salad is out of the ordinary. If any one likes anchovies try this. Place anchovies into a bowl and anchovies into 2 strips % of an inch wide. Lay crosswise on lettuce leaves, slice cucumber and tomatoes and lay around fish. Four over salad dressings, used a great deal with chicken dinners. Stuffed Peppers Put the peppers in boiling water for about five minutes, then drain, take off tops and take the seeds out. Stuff with following: 1—Sausage meat, mixed with a little onion, bread crumbs, parsley and a little lemon rind. 2. -Chopped ham, cooked rice, parsley, onion, pepper and salt. No. 3—Chopped ham and chicken, with parsley, onion, thyme, seasoning. When stuffed, molten with soup stock or butter and put tops on. Put in a shallow pan and put in oven for half an hour, basting every few minutes. Here is still another way: Prepare peppers same as above. Cook ¾ cup of broken macaroni in boiling salted water, drain, cover with cold water and drain again. Add a chopped onion and drain again. Add a chopped onion and red pepper chopped and a tablespoon of melted butter or olive oil. Fill the peppers, cover with bread crumbs and a little grated cheese, stand them in a pan, pour in soup stock and a little butter and baste every few minutes. Hamburger steak, rice and an onion are good with a little tomato pulp and juice. Be very careful not to omit the butter and better butter the pan a little first. Serve in dish in which they were baked. Sweet peppers are very good if soaked in cold water for half an hour, cut in small pieces and fried in butter with a little onion and gravity thickened. Very good with steak. A little tomato is good with that also.

The signs of the times may be read in the wonderful statements of Mrs. Award Gould of New York. A woman of great culture and wealth, Mrs. Gould sends I have nothing whatever to gain in fighting for the rights of your people; I want no political office.

THE NEGRO AND THE WAR The Negro is going to profit through the war. That is, conditions brought about by the war are going to give the Negro additional opportunities to earn a living—and that is profit of the right. Factories that have heftetors refused to employ Negroes are now encouraging members of the Race to apply for places. The railroads are asking for them in positions that were closed to the Colored people a few years ago. The American Federation of Labor has considered the Negro, and has invited him to join its ranks, whereas a few years ago it was openly accused of no place for the Negro in the unions. A large part of the Negro's troubles have always been economical. It was his competition with the white man, in the matter of labor, that brought down the Negro. He was the prejudice that has existed against him. Most of the riots in the North involving the Negro, have been the result of economic conditions rather than because of crimes committed by the Negro, because of so many occupations in which he was denied a place until the war came upon the world is going to prove to be a good thing for the Colored man. The war he is playing his part. There is a strong composition. Loyalty is an inherited virtue with him. He was loyal to his masters when his masters were fighting to hold him in slavery. Throughout the Negro's history, the disloyalty upon the part of the Negro to the country in which he lived. He is taking his part in the war. He is wearing the uniform of his country. He is making sacrifices along with the warrior who is the white man. But of greater benefit to him than the sacrifices which he is making will be the chances he will now have to follow gainful occupations which he was denied following a few years ago. —Columbus, O., Dispatch.

I firmly believe that God has assigned me to this work, and enter upon it with the earnest and sincere feeling that I am doing my full duty. And this: "I see no reason why the South should not give the children of your Race the equal advantage to acquire the white education as that of the white children of the Negro in America get simple justice and an opportunity to develop all his possibilities for good and useful citizenship. To my mind the blackest page in our national history is our race. Our race." And also this: "It would be a splendid achievement to break down the solidarity of the 'solid South' based on racial discrimination." So you have it all in a nut shell, and from a source that rings out like the "Chimes of Normandy." The 1918 Elections Hundreds of congressmen, and scores of United States senators are to be held this fall. The majority of all of them will owe their election to our vote. This is true is most of the northern cities, and it is especially true in the South. Our great and illustrious country, few southern congressmen are entitled to their seats because they are elected through disfranchisement of our voters, and boast about it. Our congressmen, supported by our voters, have facts, and only now and then is one found who has the courage to speak out against this nefarious practice, an open violation of the Constitution of the United States. Our Patriotic Boys To the tunes of "America" and the "Star Spangled Banner," thousands and thousands of our own boys have entered the army, and are offering their lives for justice, liberty, freedom and democracy. They come from every nation in life, and are possessed of the land and consecrated to the great cause of armies before them. Those of us left behind will be a disgrace to their name. If we do not fight at home, with the great weapon of the sacred ballot, for what they are fighting for abroad with guns and gas and liquid fire. Will we do it? That's the question. One oneote should be cast for one man and one woman, for a doctor to coroner, until he has publicly and in unquestionable terms, declared himself on the subjects most vitally interesting to us as a people. There must be no camouflage or hypocrisy. There must be no "unambiguous" or "old-black mammy" stuff, straightforward, right from the short, honest to goodness Americanism, that's all. Nothing more, nothing less. We are going to do our part to help put them on record, and in our efforts, ask the cordial support of every member of the Race in America. A First Step A first step, by way of co-operation, will be for every reader of The Chicago Defender to write their congressman and senator, urging the repeal of the law adopting the zone system for social postal rates. Find class notes on the congressman stands on that, and send his answer to The Chicago Defender office. Read what Prof. John W. Linn, of Chicago University, says about the subject, in this issue. You can readily see, that a paper will be national circulation of The Chicago Defender, will be greatly hand-capped in its usefulness to the Race, by such a Law. The Chicago Defender is taking information and inspiration into all sections of the South, in such a way as no paper published there can do and live. The Chicago Defender must continue to perform this service, and you can help by writing a letter to Washington today, and letting your sentiments be known. "Each for all, all for each." The hour of opportunity is at hand. To Beauty and Success PRAIRIE STATE NEWS 1 PAGE FOURTEEN ```markdown ``` Decatur, Ill.

WHITE CIVILIAN STARRED BY SOLDIERS FOR INSULTS Newport News, Va., March 22—The white South has begun to suffer as a result of its practice to discriminate. The latest resistance to Southern customs occurred last Tuesday, March 12 when a white civilian at Jefferson avenue and 25th street endowed to the military services insulting against soldiers who were seeking to enter a pool hall. Roy Holdingsworth, a white civilian, who it is claimed, made several insinuating remarks to the soldiers, was stabbed in the arm. Soldiers stationed at Camp Stuart have registered complaints with government officials relative to the treatment accused of insulting. Official investigation is said to have been promised in many cases. THE MAN WHO KNOWS: WHO CAN: "W. Allison swearee. OTK-ERK DEN." patients with Brakes the inamitable the coloured race in America.

And a smile from that loving face of JAMES N. SMITH In loving memory of our dear son and mother, James N. Smith, who departed this life one year ago March 18, 1917. Once our house was full of pleasure, we enjoyed a delightful day. But our dearest earthly treasure. Has been taken from our sight.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER THE PEOPLES MOVEMENT The following committee, representing men and women in the Second World War, who served for principle, honor and the highest ideals of citizenship, who cannot be excluded, presents the following platform and declaration of principles to the public: PLATFORM The principles for which Mr. De-Priest stands in his contest for election as alderman of the Second Ward, will be made by the ward convention which made him its standard bearer at Odd Fellows' Hall on Jan. 11, 1918. We believe in the rightful rule of the majority, free from the domination of a few selfish individuals, now launch the People's movement, which has for its object the movement of conditions which have gradually grown worse in the field of politics. To make known the reasons for the failure of the laws and the causes that impel us to use democracy of the individuals who mistake themselves for the party, we now declare the Following Principles We denounce and deny the right of a few men to name candidates for the greatest or the smallest place, or the broad out of the party any person who does not approve of their choice. We are Republicans who are seeking to purify the party, but we believe that the party is justified by recent events, in declaring a position to a system which has grown arrogant and corrupt, and has thwarted the people in securing their rightful position in the future, and in the past, we shall be found in every contest wherein the great Republican party and its interests are involved, marching in an unobstructed and uncontested manner. We demand that a majority of the party in a given community shall have the power and the right to select a candidate or candidates of its own choice. We present to the voters of the Second Ward an opportunity to support a movement destined to secure that power and that intended and ordained by the spirit of the Constitution of the United States. Second Ward Pointara Our campaign is for political superiority in the territory in which we live by the territory we live. Your attention is directed to the fact that the population of the Second Ward is 75 per cent Colored people to 25 per cent of our attention is further directed to the fact that being naturally Republicans, are 85 per cent of the Republican strength of the Ward. Your attention is still further directed to the table below, showing the population of the Republican strength of the ward gets $73,000 per cent of elective positions, and the 85 per cent gets $3,500. Your attention is also directed to the fact that within the last or two the population of the ward has changed from a 50-50 to a 75-25 beats. TABLE 85 per cent Republican Strength— R. R. Jackson, Representative. $ 3,500 Louis B. Anderson, Alderman. $ 6,000 Total, two years' salaries. $ 9,500 15 per cent Republican Strength— 1 Alderman. $ 6,000 1 Judge Injury Court. $ 9,500 1 State Representative. $ 15,000 1 Judge Municipal Court. $ 18,000 2 State Senators. $ 7,000 1 Congressman. $ 15,000 Total, two years' salaries. $73,500 The representatives of the People's Movement also vigorously denounce one Robert Cochran and one Ben Henry McCormack, capitalists sending out letters to the white voters of the ward, misleading them and creating increased race prejudice.

Jim Gaines, who has served twelve years of a life sentence for a murder of which he declared his innocence, and who escaped a year ago from the Georgia pentimentary in which he was convicted, has been sentenced to Smith and Starka a day last week. Attorney Latham was retained by friends of the man to resist his extradition to the Southern state. He was arrested and hanged on a corpus from Judge Guerin. Finding that no warrant had been issued for the arrest and return of Galines by the state, he was dismissed and an application made to the executive to give the man a hearing upon the arrival of the requisition. Attorney Latham received a letter from the office of Gov. Lowden on Tuesday of the present week stating that the request for the arrest of the requisition. In the meantime, according to Attorney Latham, Galines was turned over to the authorities of the Georgian penitentiary by the state without any warrant and taken South. Under the law no man can be taken out of the state against his will, with authority of the Georgian penitentiary. Attorney Latham signifies his intention of finding out by what authority these police officers placed Galines in the hands of the Georgia officers without warrant from the governor of Illinois.

Race Should Enter a Protest Against Article Appearing in Outlook Any person who is directly interested in the welfare and encouragement of our boys who are Sam and there is not the slightest doubt that we all have their interest at heart—should consider the publication of such insulting articles as appeared in the Outlook under date of March 13. In the past we have every influence to disuse the publication of such insulting virtues of our soldiers, but in the attempt to infect comic situations in his descriptions, the stories Charles C.

We have always been more or less exploited, but seldom with any profit to us. In other words, we have been the monkeys who have pulled the chestnuts out of the fire to save the other fellows from burning their fingers. Perhaps it was good experience; at any rate it is too late for regrets. ‘The present and future concern us now and deeply, for the ray of light for which we have so long into the darkness peered is now shining full into our faces and the hopes of the yesterdays are the realities of today. The greatest hoon we asked, an even break in the labor world,. is slowly but surely being granted us. Organized labor is for the first time regarding the interests of our workmen as identical with their own. The antagonism that has so long characterized their relations with us seems fast to be disappearing. The feeble efforts at organization in the past have mis- carried, because our workmen were suspicious of the bencfits of the unions as applied to them. They continued to be “strike breakers” and “scabs” because they could not he unionists in peace and economic security. They worked for less money and longer hours because they could neither demand more money nor shorter hours. Those identified with unions had no rea- sonable assurance of receiving equal protection, so the fight for bread and meat waxed warmer as time went on. * The war came and many changes in the economic world quickly fol- lowed. The door that we have labeled “Opportunity” is being pried open wider and wider each day. Our men and women are filling responsible positions in every walk of life. The black and the white are working side by side without friction, proving heyond the shadow of a doubt that preju- dice is only a mental disease. The different companies comprising the Union Stock Yards employ many thousands of our people, Because of this fact and because the attorney for the unions, Hon, Frank P, Walsh, believes “a mon is a mon for a’ thot,” he said in ‘his argument before Judge Ale scluler in the recent stock yards inquiry: “Much has been said’ about the importation of workmen from the South. I want to take this opportunity to urge that these men be given a living wage. The whole question of dis- crimination between the races is a financial and economic one. “These people have come here and come to stay. They are welcomed into the white man's union on equal terms, so that justice may be done them. just ax you welcomed them into your factories on equal terms, for your employes, so that you might exploit them, I do not want it thought that any man whom T represent or that I object to them coming here, We do object to their being exploited. Tt has heen the history of exploitation always that when a man was exploited he was also forced down in the social scale. 1 know the disposition of these ‘lords’ to speak fondly of their ‘black mammies' and their amiable aunts and uncles. I know, further, that these things are distasteful to intelligent Negroes and predicate a social system which recognizes them as less than men.” Ii the packing houses have done nothing else they have made the first step in the direction of the breaking down of discrimination and the aho- lition of detestable “Jim Crowism.” We are convinced that Mr. Walsh in making his arcument has voiced those sentiments of lahor which it would like to eall its ideal. If in practice the unions allow themselves to hold up| the bars against uy, as in the past, they would merit as well as court defeat. Ti, on the other hand, in the face of manifest efforts on the part of unions just now to welcome us into their organizations for the protection of all, we should remain indifferent, we would be guilty of an unpardonable blunder, with pronounced religious tendencies refure t ear fare on the grounds that the Lord own servant of the Lord, had a right to ride free, on the subject and ined her $10, but, noting @ fine with the remark that she should be inan a copie with unbalanced minda riding on the § the Lord owns the cars, thoy act as Sf they: h tock. n thelr judgment entitles them to sprawl ow ReARe OF Perhaps their feet In the aisle for to abuse the conductor for tho poor servic for not stopping at their crossing when the; wded condition of tho cars and for a thousat ‘them the license to sit beside a well dresser irbed in their dirty clothes, In which they hav Perhaps digging sewers.

The company found tt easy to employ the porter at’ lower wages, longer hours at work; that tho porter ‘would tolerate more abuise and injustices on the part of the little offee clark oF subordinates in the va~ rious branches of the company than any one else; that tho porter would 0 longer without sleep and would accept Poorer accommodations for sleep than. any one else. Therefore, the company had _e@ Kindly consideration for the Negro porter, The porter would “dead- head” to and from tho various cities of the country and be satisfied on the pitiful eum of a dollar per day to support himself and family; that ho would not complain, they realized the Negro porter was not given to union- fzing is services and demanding bet tor pay for his services. The company felt kindly toward the Negro porter and, was considerato in giving him work that other young men would not do; and too, tho Negro porter would hot atrike for botter wages; the Nesro porter would sit up until 2 a. m. to Vinck boots and clean up his car, his smoking and drawing rooms and have them in readings for the passengers, receiving the fabulous sum of $15.00 to $27.50 or $30.00 per month and neither think of, nor even mentioning the pro- priety on the part of the passengers to compensate him for blacking boots and other courtesies to add to the comfort of the traveler. ‘The Pullman company ts also very considerate to the porter tm all lost Wnens and other supplies charged up to the ear, were ench month deducted from the princely salary paid the por- ter. Tho company fully realized that tho Negro people from whom. these young porters came, were economically poor and dependent; and therefore, showed the kindly consideration and state of heart on tho part of the com- pany, to employ these young Negro men ‘at a small living wage, to give them as poor accommodations "for sleeping and eating, and to Work them as long as it was possible without any considerdtion of the health, social re- creation or revivification’ whatever, ‘The porters have worked hard and It has ben our observation that from an educational standpoint, from a normal standpoint and @ standpoint of good citizenship, stond and do atand today, far superior than a good many con- ductors whom they dre compelled to serve and are far above, from an in- tellectual standpoint, many of the clerks before whom they mpst take off thelr bat before entering the door ot thetr offices.

Favorable or un- favorable editorial comment is the key to the situation, What appears in the other columns of a newspaper is either news or articles that have been paid for.

Contrary to some statements that have been made, this paper does not preach one thing and practice another. It stands, first, last and all the time, for justice and right, and having no ax to grind we have struck out right and left in our attempt to bring to earth the evils that have beset us since our entrance into this land that promises every man a square deal. In order that the voting public may have an opportunity to judge for themselves the merits of the two candidates who are bidding for public favor in the forthcoming aldermanic election in the Second ward, the Chicago Defender has offered the columns of its paper free to Maj. Robert R. Jackson and to Hon. Oscar De Priest to set forth their argument as to why they gre entitled to the support they ask. ‘The following letter was sent to each of the candidates and their answers will be published side by side in the next edition of this Paper: Dear Sir: In order that the voters of the Second ward may in- telligently cast their ballot for alderman, the Chicago Defender offers you the FREE use of its columns to set forth in a clear and concise form your claims for support.

Tt was Colored orchestra, which 1s about the best in the city. The muste was pure and. classic. We sat beside Rev, Mr, Hind- man of Northminsier Presby- terian church. We asked him if he wasn judge of music and he said he was. How ts this? wo then asked, and ho an- swered: “The very Dest” And 80 we thought—it was classlo with a soulin it. Pot a pin there—the Colored orchest:a is the music leader in Columbus, When the music was finished the orator, Col. Roscoe Conk- ling Simmons, was introduced by the mayor. You see, our Colored friends are en rapport with the most approved cere- mony. The orator said his high- est honor was in being a Ne- gro. His oratory cannot be de- scribed. It is unllke anything ever seen or heard on the plat form, and yet for two hours he held that audience as if by a spell. Every truth he uttered was garnished with wit and occa- sionally his flights of eloquence and dazzling description were greeted with exuberant ap- plause. His main thought was the loyalty, the devotion, the love of the Negro for tho old flag, and he would defend it fonger then the white race would. Tho Y. M. C.
