April 12.—The monster gun which bombarded Paris from a distance of seventy-four miles in the recent drive on the western front is said to be the oaken patent of the United States government a few years ago by Inventor Isaiah Williams of this city. In fact, it is resarded as positive evidence of authority that the Williams sub-calibration direct comparison with the mechanical regularity of the super-firing cannon manufactured at the Krupp factories in Germany offered to the United States government by the inventor, showed an estimated length of 100 to 120 foot, muzzle-lengths of 20 to 25 cable, and the approximate range of fire was seventy-five miles. The main rifle or barrel hole was 20 inches. In a test with catch in muzzle, it required a ton of powder to explode the shell, and when fired at close range would cut through a plate of steel forty inches thick. It was at first planned for use on the dreadnaughts at sea, but was rewritten for water battles, and was transferred for use on railway trains and mounted on gigantic platforms. It is easily set up if pits have been dug in advance, thus if pits are prepared in advance to prepare for necessant fire three-quarter of an hour after its arrival. Mr. Williams, in his efforts to place in the before proper authorities in order to ensure that he experienced much difficulty, and was never successful in having his invention reviewed with any degree of seriety, he was found in the possibilities of much improved machine when it was learned that Williams was not a white man. He was not a white man, and he would sell his invention to a white man and release himself of all claim to its mechanical efficiency and as its creator, the war gun would meet with the war gun, and presenting his invention under the name of a black man, it would be impossible for him to share alone the large number of innovations to its Just how the "mystery gun" of the German army was conceived to form the culiber gun of Williams is not definitely known, but as the original patent to inventor by a group of white men who overpowered and brutally assaulted him while he was alone in a local railway station, he was forced to foreign lands through this source and was adopted. He was found later in the city of Cologne, and was probably identi- What Is YOUR Standard of Patriotism? TODAY, as we sit in our easy chairs, we may all profitably analyze our patriotism. Washington and Lincoln staked their all—sacrificed everything—to uphold the principles of justice and liberty. Just what are we doing? Just what have we sacrificed? We are not privileged to bear arms across the sea. And many of us are not privileged to give a son, brother, or a loved one. But all of us can do a patriot's duty at home! All of us can sacrifice something to bring victory closer! The price we pay for an extra suit of clothes, or the price of a theater party, would bring peace and comfort—possibly the return of health—to some brave lad, if given to the Y. M. C. A., or some other worthy cause. In an hour like this it is not true patriotism to give merely what we don't need. True patriots will sacrifice! WAR SAVINGS STAMPS are a big feature of our government's war financing plan. We ought to give this feature our earnest and enthusiastic support even if we have to sacrifice something in order to do it. The Third Liberty Loan offers one big way to do a patriot's duty at home. We ought to willingly and cheerfully sacrifice a share of our profit, pleasure, comfort and luxury to buy Liberty Bonds.

The Third Liberty Loan! The Third Liberty Loan! This space is gladly contrib Chic WORLD' This space is gladly contributed to the great cause of Justice, Liberty and Humanity 2ND WARD POLITICAL FIGHT STILL RAGING Factional Strife Expected in Fall Campaign; Lawyer May Oppose Madden The 20,000 people of the Second ward are still on the political warpath. They do not know where they are heading, but they are following the white bosses, some of whom do not live in the ward. Torn by factional strife and bitter personal quarrels, the Second ward is now the political seminal. "It nomenclated Mayor Thomas" has recording recorded for him 8,000 plurality in the mayoralty primary, and it hides fair to continue to furnish political seminars. The same came from the ward that Oscar De Priest will contest the election of Muj. R. R. Jackson; that Congressman Mar. R. Jackson; that Madison proposes raise the neutral candidate for the light for Mediol McCormick for United States senator; that if he does for McCormick, the City Hall will retaliate against him, a congressional candidate against him. Lawyer Is Mentioned Edward H. Morris, lawyer of wealth, influence and national reputation, also head of the Grand United Order of Odd Men that was received prominent mention for congressional work. He was indorsed recently at a big meeting of voters of the People's party or the Second ward at the Wendell Phish school, where he street. No one can predict what will occur in the Second ward, but there is every indication that the factional warfare which marked the recolonial aldermanio campaign will continue through the campaign. In the last fight the City Hall proper stood by Oscar De Priest, from primary to election. The Madden-Hardin stool stood by Jack, Jackson. Senator Bob Foley, and Pacific hotel a few weeks ago, told members of the William Hale Thompson club that he would stand with the Republican counsel Etelsson, but Congressman Madden has been quoted as favorable to Medill Mccormick, and the election has intervened since Hardin's investigation of friendship for his old friend. Three-Cornered Fight The Jackson forces resent the support the City Hall gave De Priest after primary, the Republican primary, Senator Harding and with the neutrals. He has tried to jocky himself into a position where he would have three county states, but this seems an impossible task. Three cornered fight each aspirant for office, the big and the little, will have to be handled. Should Congress harden and Senator Harding decide to turn their backs on the City Hall and go the other way, for McCormick, it would be a blow to this would split the vote of the Race. The mayor's managers have counted the votes of the mayor. Undeniably, the mayor exceedingly popular with the people of the Second ward, having given them the vote with the cognition than they ever before received. Ettelson After Scat Senator Harding's plans are set for short, county treasurer—goto to back to the office. Sel Ettelson is regarded as a candidate for re-election to the state senate, and in this fight he is likely to have the backing not only of the City Hall forces, but of the Daean faction, too.

Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST GOD WEEKLY The Y. M. C. A., the RED CROSS and other organizations are all doing a wonderful work. If we have the slightest thought of the comfort of our fighting men we will sacrifice something to support these magnificent organizations. SMILEAGE BOOKS will bring happiness to those who have almost forgotten what the word means. We ought to buy more of them—ought to urge others to buy them and send loads of "smiles" to the lads at the front and in training. We ought to sacrifice some of our easy-chair comfort and work a garden. We ought to produce more and thus save more food for the boys at the front. We ought to observe our country's food, fuel and daylight saving programs willingly and cheerfully. Because all these things are helping our boys "over there" in the fight for justice and liberty.

They are remaking their educational syste- ly, largely in terms of what Book- er T. Washington could long before it had become the common people of educational lending everywhere. "The lessons of effective education are peculiarly needed in the South region. Southern men of both races are coming to the region, and we realize its destiny if one-third of our population is undeveloped and ineffective, and that adequate education no longer is a problem that concerns no one, man no less than if does the Negro. "Americe will not soon repay the debt it owes to Booker Washington. His education is a dignifying, of human service, rather than a means of escaping labor, is only less important than his demonstration to the southern people that education of the Negro is an essential for the South and the nation." 250 MECHANICS CALLED: NONE BUT WHITE ACCEPTED Boston, Mass., April 12—There is a call for 250 volunteer war mechanics here to report on May 1.

True Christian Fellowship Continued for future editions It is my earnest desire to explain to the Christian denominations of the world the true meaning of the Word of God, which reads: "There is one Lord, one faith and one baptism." We will note very carefully John, who was the forerunner of Christ while on the earth, did successfully prepare a great work for the true Baptism of Fire, and he explain to them all in the 3d chapter of St. Luke, 16th verse, saying: "Indeed baptize you with water, but one mightier than I cometh, the latetest of those who am not worthy to unloose Him. He shall unloose with the Holy Ghost and with fire." The first point which I wish to make clear to the Christian church is, the one Lord, one faith and one baptism. All members of churches who are called the power to save, if they earnestly pray their sins, have the true Christian meaning of the one faith, one Lord and one baptism, for the true and only Fire and the Holy Ghost will follow the execution of faith and repentance. I wish to state for the benefit of the readers of this article that I am a member of one of the largest Baptist churches in the United States, love my church and dearly love its pastor, was converted in the Fifth Baptist church on Howard street, New Orleans, La. The Rev. Henry White was my death. I joined many years. After his death I joined the church and, coming to Chicago thirteen years ago, I remained in the Methodist church until recently. I thought it would give his information in order that he could be a stranger to the principles of Christianity, but that I am grasping a much broader conception of God's word and knowing of some dangerously weak people. We have been keeping God's people in every nomination from practicing true Christian fellowship; God alone put it in my heart to warn the churches as a way to keep God's people, regardless of their denominational especially if they conflict with our religious desires to fellowship our brother or sister who has been baptized with Jesus, regardless of the denominational branch of church of which he or she does form a part; for we who are Christians must lead in the world-wide movement of the fellowship which recognizes the faith of God and the brotherhood of man. May other newspapers please copy this letter. By so doing you may help some weak member somewhere to grasp a broader view offt. S. M.

Only did the old military carriage wain praise, but the regimental band "took" and the drum major, Sergeant Lander, of Philadelphia, was the most talk by night. He wielded his staff and carried the body, and when the men reached the stand where President Wilson and party sat, he caught their attention, as also did the band and the 3,600 men in the regiment.

PAGE THREE St. Louis, Mo., April 12—Following the visit of Prof. J. R. E. Lee, president-elect of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., it was announced that a grave uncertainty in the minds of the distinguished educator will accept the offer to head the institution. The well known conditions of strife which have characterized the work at Lincoln in the minds of the students years have taken such apparently porous forms as to make the prospect for anything like agreeable leadership there decidedly discouraging, especially to a man who is better than he likes to create, unpleasant feelings and thereby cause dissension in the student body and faculty. In spite of the fact that Prof. Lee has been officially assured that he will receive the institution a few days ago of regents in case he accepts, it is thought that the snobish and discourteous reception accorded him when he visited the institution a few days ago of regents in case he accepts. It is to be clearly seen that plan is already on foot to make things decidedly unpleasant for the newly elected president, and political differ- Upon his return was naturally very much discouraged over the outrage of his insulting him not to leave his successful work at Kansas City to take up the less promising though larger field at Lincoln Institute. The board of regents will make a secure Prof. Lee, loses the chance to secure Prof. Lee, provided it is really desired to make Lincoln Institute a five-progressive, useful school. Prof. Lee will make a great mistake if he fails to make the face of sun-sunagers naturally lie in a divided board of regents and a political deceit and chicanery.

THIEVES IN 5 STATES Last Friday morning Harry Spaulting, last of the trio of Raymond Dixon and Charles Robinson, who robbed the Chicago Telephone Co. of $265 in the house at 2962 State street, and were captured by Detectives Scott and Midland, who after a heated chase which led through five states, was convicted and sentenced to a one-year term in the bridge. On Aug. 13, 1917, the trio followed Donnelly into the flat at 2962 State street. As he was in the act of making his collection they cornered him, killing him and taking his pair of paperhanger's shears, while Dixon and Robinson searched his pockets and relieved him of his grip containing $250 Officer Scott, who was killed in the collision of his pair just in the act of ringing the police box when he overheard Donnelly's call for help. He located the house and escaped shortly before. The culprits fled the ondes of the city, going to Cleveland.

He wired the authorities there, who through a ruse corralled Dixon and Robinson in a house at 2250 Railroad avenue. Foresight on the part of the crime led to the city earlier to go to Attnua, Ga Scott and Middleton then proceeded to take extradition papers and brought Donnelly to the judge. Donnelly identified them, and their conviction in Judge Sullivan's court they pleaded guilty and were sentenced to one year in the bridewell. Spalding, menwillbe, still a fugitive. Atlanta authorities, upon the request, caused a city-wide search for Spalding to be made, and on Jan. 25 Spalding was arrested.

Citizens of the Second ward, along with the Third precinct station, and Chief of the detective bureau have recommended these men for their work, which is aiding the city redeem its position of authority.

Is Justice supposed to be blind or is she getting her eyesight restored in Chicago? An incident occurred in one of the local courts which would allow her to see into what she is doing as well as it also goes to prove that the scrutinizing judges of Chicago sometimes run across those who by appearance through no eyes of theirs. The incident curred in one of the courts when a judge was to decide relative to the guardianship of two children of our Race. There appeared to qualify for law and order, but we had no special evidence of belonging on our side. The curiosity of the judge was aroused and he inquired concerning her Race, to which she promptly denied. The democracy comes unto her own in this country it will be quite unnecessary to make any inquiries about Race or nationality. We will all be, and that may be in this land, and all other lands. Is it possible that justice, in the time of America's greatest trial, is beaten especially in such a cosmopolitan city as Chicago? It has become a matter of custom for judges to allow petty trials for minor offenses, and the error has become of such prominence that it is hard to believe that a durse is unauscesting. Why ask this woman's racial identity? Several cases followed hers, but no mention was made of how to say, such a question was wholly unnecessary and entirely out of order.

"LIGHTER SIDE OF WAR" Under the above caption the usually fair Chicago Daily News has permitted one "A. R. Decker, with the American Fleet in French Waters" to try to be funny. The following was published in the issue of April 8 Monday: LIGHTER SIDE OF WAR Stories of Colored Men Over There the favorite pastime of the American shore is to relate stories about the Negro stevedores who are do- ing such good work in unloading and loading the American ships that are over increasing numbers to the poor South. These stories are true tales of quality sayings, but sometimes the Americans use their imaginations. Lieut.-Col. Artley, who com- mandered a bailion, is responsible for this one: On board a transport which had just come in sight of the French const two American Negroes came against the rail and com- mandered the all-weather plane was circling ahead of the convey looking for mines and "U" boats. "Niggah," said one daisy brother to the other, "where does you think a man has a better ship or a ship or aboard an airplane?" "I done don't know, chile. In this here ship we certainly don't have much chance to get back to land if that submarine sticks his tube into us. But just think, if you was up in that there airplane and the engine stopped, and the big boss said, 'Niggah, get out and crank that motor!'. No, suh! I stay right aboard this little ship." Another transport, which has just arrived, had a very stormy passage across the Atlantic. The waves, at times, came aboard the ship and brought fear to the land loving Colored men. One afternoon the sea was exceptionally bolsterous. Some of the Negroes began to pray. An American officer, leaning down a hatch, heard one Georgia boy say something like this: "Lord, the ocean is getting worse and worse. I am a scared niggah. I need your help right away, at this minute. Come right away, Lord, don't wait. And, Lord, if by any reason you can't come in pusson, I want you to send your fastest messenger." In a conversation with an American stevedore I asked him what kind of trip he had across. "Awww! Awfull," he said. "All the way across that ocean I didn't see no land, not one tree!

He had kicked the man he had been drunk. E. R. DECKER. With the American Fleet in French Waters. Will the American daily newspapers ever get their think machinery to running smoothly and quit trying to make the American people laugh at lies and insults? He has a class of people within our borders? We have stood for this thing long enough. If they wish to tell something, they must tell what he has done in the medical world; Harry Burleigh, and tell what he has done in the musical world; Col. Charles Young, and tell what he has done in the world; Kelly Miller, and tell what he has done in the educational world. That would be funny, quite. And if he would be funny, he'd be Kaiser, he's awfully funny. He's murdering our sons and brothers by the thousands, and standing back first and having good laughs about it. It is a sad reflection on any newspaper that permits the use of the term "Niggan," of any of its lineded expanse, "of any of the united people of France ridiculing their loyal战士兵 in these terrible times? France would not think of us, and we would not men at their true worth, and America cannot do less and survive. This war has no "Lighter Side" for us. All that we have in faith and hope and love; all that we have unstintedly and inconsistently given unstintedly and inconsistently of injustice and discrimination—that the cause of right may triumph.

The people all over the country are only too glad to know that this character which is co-operating with the Red Cross and the government, yet looking out for the peculiar situation of the spring campaign the Circle proposes to secure one million members. These members may be taken in either as instructed by the College or as many groups already formed have joined with the Circle. This is the organization of which Miss Caroline Stewart is the president, and has its headquarters at the 490 Fifth avenue. Miss Caroline Stewart Bond is the president of the Circle, and it was this young lady that a Defender man interviewed at the office of the Circle recently. Miss Caroline is an interesting young lady, and graduate of the college department of Atlanta University, was formerly secretary of the Young Woman's Christian Association of Montclair, She told how the desire to concentrate charity work for the Negro soldier and his dependents led Mrs. Happgood (white), always an ardent supporter of things pertaining to the Race, to organize the Circle for Negro War Relief (now an incorporated society). The Circle has for its object the general welfare of our soldiers while actually in the service, and the care of their families if reduced to want by the emergencies of war, at the same time co-operating with the Red Cross to avoid duplicating of relief. The Circle also desires to interest school teachers in the work. It will render aid to the medical corps by supplying bandages, drugs, instruments, canes, crutches, etc., for the special relief and requirements of the regiments. It will furnish material for the making of garments and ship them direct on Red Cross vessels to the officers commanding the Colored regiments for distribution. It will collect and distribute Bibles, books and other literature among the troops. It will buy woolen thread and origami, particularly among the women of the colony, a view to supplying the Colored soldier with extra comforts at the front. It will also allow the hearts of troops and relieve their minds over their dependent ones at home. It proposes not only to furnish man-made objects for the activities and to take preventive measures to check the unfortunate condition which necessarily follow in the wake of war. Work in Schools and Lodges Lodgegs Through the efforts of Ruth Logan Rodgers, the schools all over the country are joining hands with the Circle. Tuskegee Institute heads the school, sending its Easter Day collection. The Denmark, S. C., has done likewise. The various chapters of the lodges are doing the same. The Patrick H. Reeson industrial school of Dayton, Flint, and Detroit have already sent subscriptions and have pledged their co-operation. One of the interesting organizations which have joined with the Circle is the Association for the Negro Life and History, Inc. of which the Journal for Negro History is the official organ, having contributed copious journals to be distributed by the Circle.

He was sent to an avenue last Saturday morning by four plain clothes men from the Fourth Branch Detective Bureau. According to Swift, the four men entered the hall and attempted to go upstairs.

The Grand's bill opened Monday night with Hicks & Howard in the jurgling novelty, introducing man novel features and going over in fine style. They were followed by the three Tarheed in a multi-Info exceptional ability, in songs, talking and dancing. It is very well loved by act and one that shows more than the ordinary amount of study, regarded as fine and general work. The middle of the bill held a fine novelty in Syvenall, a dj trained to such an ex- opened Monday Howard in their introducing many Tony Langston tont as to display admiest human intelligence. His trainer did a great job, and he wetted the auditors' appetite for the clever foot work displayed by the act which followed. The Roy's, seen here, have a good line of "different" tails and sing original songs in a way that produces mitt. Roy's dancing, how-ever, is not as flamboyant as the act, although the young lady end of the team shags and looks far above the avarice. It is a naut and pleasing turn, and the garden Review. That is just what it is, too, a review, with ten pretty girls, two straights and a Hebrew dance, with songs dances and comedy. The chorus floo one, the costuming wonderful, and special scenery right up to the stand-up will is a good one all the way through. The last half last week had the Bruces, old-time favorites, who have a lot of both opportunities. A new line of talk, a lot of eccentric and modern dancing and a roller-skate clog at the Mardi Gras, a lot of the bill. Others on were Frank Gordon, juggler; "The Third Degree," a sketch well presented; Pierce & Burke, team of talking comedians, and Dorothy Lyles and jazz band. This latter piece, a trombone-ture, and the addition of a trombone and a little pop added to the drums would pull it out to a grazingety lot and a slower little person and was well liked. The Avenue The bill here the first half was a widely diversified one. Restraining with Delphino & Dolmora, a European team composed of comedians, actors and musicians, Evelyn & Colleen versatile and handsome young ladies who sing a little, dance quite a bit and do some clever stunts on the bicycles, the band's most famous ventriloquist, who used a life-sized dummy with good results; Allen Leiber & Co., in an elopement sketch, and Ronch & Ccurdy, who have a rube to keep their interest and plenty of of rural comedy. The last half that week featured Jones & Jones, two boys who have one of the most laughable singing and acting acts comparatively the form to mats that they surely hold down the spot of honor on the bill and succeeded in trying things up in a hard knot. Their routine of tikk is a knockout, and they sing the tattoo, who sings illustrated songs; Stuart & Rathburn, a hooding act of class; Reams and Area, a good talking and singing pair; Florence Randall and characters in a neat domestic offering; Galibin & Gurin, with a good novelty. The Monogram Bernard's Dalktown Follies, with Ivin C. Miller, Esther Bigone, Henry C. Miller, and the following places this week: Belfair, Ohio; Parkersburg, Wheeling, Falmount, W. Vn., and Untownton, the show is a real hit all along the line. INNOCENT For Fannie Ward's debut as a Pathe star, a play has been selected that affords her a rare opportunity to show what she can do. She asks the question, "Should a woman be adjudged guilty who has inherited a certain weakness in character from her mother?" The answer is not given in the剧本, but she asks the question to decide for himself, but, for all that, "Innocent" has a happy ending. The story begins and ends in China, where a young scene is held in Paris and the River Seine. A young girl, born of European parents, and brought up from her early childhood within the high walls of a Chinese garden and with Chinese children as playmates, is sent to Paris, and his death leaves her, at his dying request, in the care of a friend, John Wynnham, a gentleman and man of passion, instillers, but cursed with a passion that he has been able to live down. Tired of the Orient, Wyndham returns to Paris, where he had once lived, and takes innocent with him. He installs a new apartment, and comes under the notice of Wyndham's former acquaintances, among them Doucet, who surreptitiously runs a large, fashionable gambling house. They do not understand her position in the city, and choose to laugh at Wyndham's explanations, and think evil. Doucet, highly polished and much of the gentleman-about-town, becomes infatuated with innocent, and when Wyndham succeeds in tempting him, he gambles the Frenchman visits the girl. Wyndham returns and finds them in close conversation, and, startled at the danger to his unsophisticated oar, orders the man to leave and not return. But the Parisian life is not good for her, so he sends her to the country. Innocent fails to see the reason for what seems to her harsh conduct on arrivals in the little French town than she calls up Doucet on the phone and tells him of her whereabouts. Wydna then becomes aware of the fact that he loves her. He motors out to see her, and reaches her at the very moment she intends and elope with him. He extends to reciprocate, but bludes him and goes away with Doucet. Events thus dramatically illiminate himself dramatically elmax. I am not able to tell you what happened. You must see the picture. Manager George Paul of Doucet describes this de luxe production and we show it for one day, next Sunday, April 14. "THE DEVIL STONE" Symbolical of the element of superstition which is the basic theme of the novel, is the Devil Stone, "The Devil Stone," the vision of a black cat appears at two dramatic and striking incidents of the play. At the opening, the Geraldine Farrer appears as a slimy creature in the vicinity of the Caira Manot. When a black cat comes into her hut with the storm, it brings a sudden thought of terror, implanted in her mind, and through ancient beliefs and superstious legends.

The prologue introduces us to Jacqueline, a French court jester, an attorney, whose son, Raymond, is recovering from a serious illness. We learn that Jacqueline, Floriot's wife, has fled with her lover. Hearing about her death, Jacqueline him and beg forgiveness of his father, but is spurned and driven from the house. Beauty years elapse: we see Jacqueline and Larotue, a rough adventurer, arriving from South America, taking quarters at a cheap inn. She has become a drug addict and her beauty has been severely deprived. The soil of many lands, where she has sought to forget, but in vain. The memory of her son blooms in her heart.

He then learns that she is his mother and there follows a touching and beautiful scene, but before Florlort can be called and Jacqueline dies, content and happy in having found her son.

Robert McMurdy, chairman of the campaign committee which undertook the operation in the Government Hospital early last fall. Every one felt that "it is more blessed to give than to receive" and as a result: $15,000 was raised. It was noticeable that a number of the younger women of the city played their part well in the campaign, also the Red Caps at the I. C. and Northwestern stations. The amount of $3,042.3 was raised by citizens of the New C. Side and $1,955.71 was donated to the white friends and business corporations. The board of trustees made a special mention of thanks to Editor Robert S.

Watch Out for Discriminators It has been noticed for the past few months that several theaters and shoe stores have sought to discriminate against the patronage of south slide residents and in some cases have been successful in their attempts. It is impossible to discriminate to run an amuck and not show even the slightest desire to fight back. Illinois has a civil rights bill that legally entitles you to enjoy the privileges of such places and upon rejection you are agitated to damages. Don't forget that you can be discriminated against once in a while. This is a plausible way to stop such a practice.

According to Daniel, a sport scribe of the New York Sun, a report from Albany was received that the bill would be reported out quickly and that there was little doubt that the assembly would pass it. However, there was no need for whether Gov. Whitman would sign it. He said the governor would allow the measure to become a law by letting it slide for more than ten days. This paper is in favor of the Sunday baseball bill, and the quicker it passes the better. Thousands of fans, white and black, patronize Olympic field on Sunday to see the Lincoln Ginats play. Without Sunday baseball they would be obliged to seek other pleasures. SEDULOUS BESTS LINCOLN HIGH Wheeling, W. Va.

Many of his men are in class I one of the draft. There are Grant, Williams, Dixon, Redding and Johnson, subject to call. Tom Johnson of that subject is out at Camp Grant working away for a mission. With the releasing of John Lloyd and the filling of the veteran's shoes by Bobby Williams, the manager seems satisfied, but the fans are asking out the places of Gans, Dixon and Grant, should the country call them? But he has the foundation, sure to be retained, of the best ball club in the Dutton and Barber leagues. He is sure of Hill, Dutton and Barber, outfield in the country, a combination for all-round work with which they are the best comparison. They are above the draw in pitching, moss, Whitworth, Wickware and Barber are in the fourth class, and he is sure of their services at least for the best pitchers in the league, Foster predicted, and he is today the best Colored pitcher in the country. He has been unhunten all winter, and was not a slugger as was Wiley, Sanford, Gans, Thomas Chisholm, Lundy, Hall and Brooks. A better hitting club has not been in baseball. He also faced Yelone Joe Williams. He has been a great fielder and hitting club back of them they could not beat him. His work was wonderful, and with Wickware could not wish for two better pitchers. The Giants in fire are the best players in the country, and have made more runs since the organization became centered in the initial much interest is centered in the initial much interest in little Robbie Williams, the midnight shortstop, who is to fill the shoes of Lloyd. Foster admits that Lloyd is a great player, but he is not able, and that individually Lloyd is a better man, but it took Lloyd over two years to play shortstop, as he was used in the outfield and at second base, and at shortstop because the Philadelphia Giants play, and he finally developed into the best shortstop since the days of Monroe. It took Williams only one game, so he placed regularly in Lloyd's shoes, and in the middle of baseball. He fits in well in team play, and has been trusted with plays that even the experienced men of the club have failed with, and has done well in the country. He is sure to receive a great ovation when he appears Sunday.

The directions for the spiral sock, which follow: In next week's issue will be the sock with the white foot, which saves the boys from blood poisoning. The Spiral Sock One bank gray, natural or white wool. Cast on 60 stitches—20, 20, 20—on three needles. Knit 2. purl 2 for 4 Inches. For spiral, knit 3, purl 2 for 4 rows. When you purl the two last stitches on the third needle also purl on same needle the first stitch on first needle the second stitch always adding at the end of the fourth row on third needle the first stitch on first needle purled This method forms the spiral. Continue until spiral measurement. Knit 2 several rows plain, in the knit, covering number of stitches to $6. Narrow toe as follows: Knit 2 together, knit 3 knit 2 together, knit 6 for one round, knit 2 together, knit 5 knit 2 plain. Knit 2 together, knit 6, knit 2 plain once around.

The loosely in pairs with piece of wool. This forms a medium pointed toe. The beauty of this sock is it is minus a heel and with the semi-pointed toe the heel does not wear out in any one particular spot and fits or shapes to the foot perfectly. These socks cling without the use of parters, and when fitted the heel does not wear out. One can make the spiral by knitting 5 and purling 3, or knit 3 and purling 2. It must be an even multiple, i.e. 8x8 or 12x5. Make an measurement by laying the shirt to be measured on a flat surface, such as table or floor, and measures with wooden or metal measure, not a tape line. Measure socks carefully from tip of from 10% to 14%. Sizes should be It is suggested that any bits of wool of any color may be knitted into stripes or bands in the tones of the socks that answer the question of whether wool is remnants of wool that might otherwise be wasted; of making distinguishing marks of ownership or of pairs, and of saving the stock of wool which is scarce and expensive; of varying the time in minutes in salted water. Rewire twice, wring hard each time.

One of these evenings drop in, if you may, at the entertainment the Colored privates may be holding there at Sherman, or possibly for some organization to war purposes near.

KOCH (Dr. Koch, who man, one of the 100% Americans—) REMARKABLE? Yes, of course, it was remarkable—so remarkable, so unusual, so distinctive that, might you have sat as sensor over the outbound mall of the soldiers at Camp Sherman, Uncle Sam's monster cantonment near Chilloutte you'd have found a thousand soldiers without a doubt, enthusing wildly as to it, and hoping that the good Y workers who had the affair in charge would see fit to repeat it again and again. "I to read the announcement in cold type—might not have attracted more than passing notice." "A minstrel show was staged at the big Auditorium at Camp Sherman by those of me —th and —th and certain regiments," the press disch A minstrel show, given at an army camp, where all manner of suns and wholesome performances are now being given, either free or at ridiculous prices. The cost of cover expenses, is hardly a matter of note. But in the giving of this particular minstrel show there went the talent of actual Colored men throughout, Colored men who were renowned for their skills, and men with instruments—Colored men who were college men, no few; Negroes who were waged of the chance to show a thousand of their white colleagues-at-arms what the Race redeemed to freedom a half century before was now a cause of maintaining this world liberty. Behind the mustering that talent, the drilling in rehearsal to round out the whole, there lies a wholesome tale—a tailed filled with hints to workers for the soldiers otherwheres, and a story that gives its lessons of what the Y men are doing for the Colored troops and what, in turn, these troops will do. At Camp Sherman, to begin at the beginnings of the tale, there is an entire Y. M. C. A. building—"hut" is the word they apply to these, though they are far from "huts" this slide of the acas, indeed—devoted to the Colored soldiers. Y. M. C. A. unit comes in for its full share of whatsoever the others receive, and rest assured the bounty is a plenteous one. Keeping 'Em in Good Spirits of it, in maintaining the contentment of the soldiers, keeping them in good spirits in playtime hours, keeping them from that bane of all camp commanders—the homeliness—is the work of the entertainment committee of the "X." This committee divides its labor into three distinct sorts, each, then, with the help of eyes, into the auduities served. To develop the talent already in the camp is its first and perhaps most important phase. It is here that the Colored soldiers will come to the fore, providing entertainment not for themselves alone but for the entire cantonment. Again, motion pictures are arranged for parts of the big encampment. Then, thirdly, outside talent is brought in. To get the material for the programs built by the first of these has been no easy matter. The uniring Y workers assigned the especial task go through the companies, search over the regiments, and pick out all talent they may learn of. It isn't easy to get wind of these things; men are many times more nervous here; men will perhaps hesitate to perform in public, especially if they know officers will be in the audience gathered around, and particularly where they know that their audience will be with them for months and months, and JOIN THE SUPREME Royal Circle of Friends A MODERN AND PROGRESSIVE SECRET FRATERNAL ORDER Operating in all the States of the Union and the District of Columbia on the Lodge plan.

SALE EVERY DAY. Tribal Chief THE WOMAN'S PAGE so any silp-up won't be forgotten over night. However, when the Y workers among the Colored regiments, stepping across the barrack room, happen to hear William L. Sullivan, a kitchen liby, busy at kitchen police, singing in full rich minor keys, "Way Down Upon the Sawnee River," they linger and loiter and enjoy, and then show the two happy soldiers that to keep such inart from the other Sammites is salish and not at all "doing one's bit" to the full. So, again, when a Colored soldier is salish, or barjo for whining away the evenings on the company street or near quarters, it doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes to know that that man loves music and so find what he does best with these. And so with the other requirements of the black soldiers, a talent, squirrelly picked, is filed in a list that is carefully carded and organized. From that list then is drawn what variety is required for any stated program, but especially for the minister's duties, which are highly in demand at such time, for the Colored Summite is a happy, joy-loving soul, and he does know how to entertain, not only his own regiment, his own face; but if any part of the camp is not well equipped, and the Y calls on those men. If any interest in the towns near by wants an entertainment to raise funds for certain war ends, rest assured that the Y calls on those men all. Nor is it always only please shows—not by a very, very urgent deal. Give Operas and Class Plays Out of the talent in the monster cantonment the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Sherman has given operas, middle class plays, such things as, say vaudeville sketches—that is, monologues, quartettes, and the like. And If the Colored soldier is not on the program he is part of the audience, if he is not at all. When the school of the line gives a smoker for company funds the Y will draw from this talent for variant to the chitchat; if a Negro regiment entertains it does the same. But, to re-emphasize, aside from doing their own share in providing entertainment, these Colored soldiers "same" to some splendid entertainments provided through the Y's themselves. When Sammi gets "over there"—as he's so eager to do—the good French folk will do what they can for customs and entertainments vary with the occasion, won't at all mind being entertained every so often by Americans, entertaining in American ways, "Over there" they may be movies, but not "over there" they may be actors, "Over there" there may be feast actors, but the wit is of a different type. No Cause for Worry Drop in at the mess hall—perhaps in the squad room—and, proper hours, other entertainment is on. Some time the entertainment is on. Dance in Chilloutie for which the Y put on a "bones" performance in intermission. The thing was such a stupendous success that when, shortly after, a full-fledged minstrel show was given at the camp auditorium the star was occupied, and many others wishing simply couldn't get into the house. Interesting features, born of military regulation, attend these performances, none the less. The men must, of course, be returned by 10:30, and so performances here do not await more time. The start at 6:30 or at latest 7:00 of clock. And the variety of good things open to the white man and the black man who care just to come in and enjoy them! Every one of the Y buildings has its own talent, puts on performances, and goes on and on and again. Just the big "sings," as they are known—they are most delightful. Again, twice a week, in each building, there are motion pictures. These movies' are billed from building to building as where competition might be most keen. Only down at heart Sammo knows this long, long time, that in addition to what the individual Y. M. C. A. "but of his societ may be provided, there is also "something doing" for him at the big auditorium every night. At the camp, too, these sometimes aren't allowed to lose their interest because of using that home talent, exertion, or training. The competition the Y. M. C. A. has provided for introduction of no end of outside talent. Sunday Afternoons Sunday afternoons, for example, two performances at least by outsiders are billed for the auditorium. Sunday night there's a "sing" and lecture. Special occasions they may vary on this; for example, at Christmas, in view of the big community "sing," under the direction of the Interarranged its plans as not to contend. The outside talent is showing if nothing else did, how the heart of the nation is with Sammilo, and there is nothing it won't do for him. Great enterprises send entire troupes down there, they paying all expenses. Already the camp is hardly a three-hour in its east and magnitude; that is to say, and the entertainment absolute free of charge. One great vaudeville circuit—Editor Keith's—sent twenty-two acts in all, and the Y. M. C. A. records show 25,000 men in different auditoriums come to see them. The Cinematt Symphony Orchestra has already been twice to Camp Sherman; prices are made to simply cover exact minimum costs of the trip. Giant basket ball games to determine championships, notable boxing contests, are hold that Sam may enjoy. Where Sammie goes he is looked on even when away out on the range. There, on the alloy range, two tents are provided the Y workers, that these may go about with the men. They not alone look after little practical needs of Sam, but they cheer him up, fill him with enthusiasm, "pep"—make him enjoy soldiering and feel the real lure and "thrill of it" that he does in the big work of peace time at home. Reserve. And Sammie calls he does feel results—quickly, keenly, and he does come to anticipate them, look forward to them. Drop in at Camp Sherman, and the soldier you know, he he black man or white, is apt to suggest very first thing: "It's down and see what's on next at the Y." He wants you to stay, to attend, to enjoy with him. He knows it's a performance which is a treat. He knows that not alone he, but you, will never have an evening filled to grim the fire with something so much the worth it, but go forth yourself and be witness. Go when you will, where you will, at the big cantonment, and we are willing to guarantee that you'll return finding the soldiers contented, happy, cager for the day's work—and eager, too, for play hours, not because of wanting to be in the city, but because of very pardonable eagerness for the rise of curtain on the evening's program down at the X. Pouring Into Our Office The response to the appeal of the Defender to send subscriptions to the soldiers has touched a tender spot in the hearts of the people. Subscriptions are coming in from every section. Where the names are not supplied the Defender is pleased to supply names of soldiers to the people. The Defender carries more news of Race soldiers than any two other papers published. Not only are the boys anxious to read what's going on back home, but they are anxious to have the home folks read of their progress in the field. Much of the success and growth of the Christian Science church is due to the fact that every member is at once an agent and booster for Science literature. If every reader of the Defender would become a booster for the Christian Science movement, the most elaborate compilation of news entitled by a Race newspaper, not only would every soldier keep in touch with what is going on, but there would soon be more than one million readers to the paper. Having an interest in helping to spread the Defender, you are not only helping others, but you are helping yourself. TO HAVE NEW SCHOOL Delray, FLA., April 12.—The directors of the Anna T.

Posed especially for the Chicago Defender. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER ALDERMAN ANDERSON AS THOMPSON FLOOR LEADER With two aldermen, the Race in the Second ward is in the most unique and strategic position of our people in any section of the United States. Much in the way of leadership is now expected of us in the ward by reason of our opportunity and political power. The new alderman, Major Robert R. Jackson, will be installed in his new position April 22. The Race now starts on its new and enlarged political future under the most happy and auspicious circumstances. Indications now point to new and still higher opportunities for our Race to render valuable and efficient public services to our friends and the city in which we live in the possible selection of one of our Race as the administrator of the council in the person of Alderman Louis B. Anderson of the Second ward. With his legal experience and ability, his tactful and diplomatic temperament, his wide acquaintance in office and with civic leaders, in this position, he has been appointed council Alderman Anderson is splendidly equipped to bring increased prestige to our Race and to distinguish Race leadership and management in the upper circles of the Republican race and the larger public affairs of Chicago. That this is no faint dream and vain hope of the Race admirers of Alderman Anderson, because of his substantial and unassuming successes in the city council, is the fact that in the political arena among the political leaders of the city council, he is now under favorable consideration and discussion for this high and new honor for our Race. Speaking of the new political developments in the council's party management, the Chicago observance only a few days ago. "Alderman M. A. Michaelson (frish), the present spokesman, retires with the present council and its replaced by an outspoken opponent of the city administration. The only Republican alderman in a position to come forward as the council mouthpiece for the council would fall on Anderson. Louis R. Anderson, the "Negro" alderman of the Second ward. Gossip today in the council lobbies was that the choice as Thompson leader in the council would fall on Anderson. Anderson has political opportunities and developments for our Race to render the highest services to our city and party, there should be absolute unity in the ranks of the Race in order that our people might reap the benefits of the greatest number of the masses, who must suffer terribly in the future if they allow themselves to be divided through the ambitions and jealousies of soft-spoken agueses, always willing to sacrifice and sell the power of the people in division for personal self and political slander. Those who seek to dissipate the power of our Race in internal factional strife and contests in this situation will meet with increasing political disfavor and the hands of the people outraged by a misguided leadership which seeks to rule or ruin. Every Race man should stand united behind Alderman Anderson for the now opportunities and service which he is opening for his Race. FREED OF CRIMINAL San Angelo, Texas, April 12—Robert Dooley, charged with criminal assault upon Lena Hoelcher (white) at Rowena on July 15, 1917, was acquitted following a court order to return a jury to return a vordict of not guilty. Four hours after the defense had gone to trial, Dooley was free, following the action of Judge Dubols, who sustained the defense's argument that the defense had violated the man, as nowhere in the review of the case was there any testimony given to corroborate the statements of Lena Hoelcher with that of other witnesses. Local feeling is generally believed to be a victim of a frameup. Authorities here are scenting perjury and seeking the guilty parties involved. Domestic Pets Dangerous The United States public health service, in collaboration with attendees to the sanitary dangers from pet-attaches pets" and emphasizes the role that they may play in the transmission of disease especially among children. In support of this statement an instance is cited of a fatal case of smallpox in an infant in arms. The nearest case of the disease was in a house that was not social or neighborly intercourse between the families. But a pet dog in the infected family happened also to be on friendly terms with the family when the infant was attacked with the disease. "In no other way," the report continues, "could the source of infection be explained, than that the dog, the small puppy family, carried the virus of the disease to the neighbor's baby. Similar instances have been noted before in connection with smallpox transmissions, but this case has been Incriminated as carriers of plague infected fleas—cases of bubonic plague so contracted having been observed by public health officers working in research and in household pets also have been charged in certain instances with the responsibility of carrying the infection of diphtheria, scarlet fever and other communicable diseases as well as various intestinal parasites." The department of health many times has called attention to the danger attendant upon keeping animal pets in city homes and flats. And in this connection it has been urged that it is not to the animals themselves to be kept in city homes, but to the conditions where the outdoor air and freedom of exercise needed cannot be obtained. But when the possible health manace is taken into consideration, the pleasure derived from the presence of the pets may after all cost much more than the pleasure of the question is with us all the time there is just now another that is also greatly worth while. Food conservation is now of prime importance. Are dogs and cats worth the food they consume? This, along with their being sources of annoyance to the neighbors, makes it indeed questionable as to the wisdom of continuing the practice of keeping them in our city homes.

The subject debated by all three of the schools was, "Resolved, That Universal Compulsory Military Training Should Be Adopted by the United States as a Permanent Policy." In Washington Fisk argued the negative side and won the decision by a unanimous vote, the judges being Hon. Frederick W. Dallinger, M. C.; Hon. Louis F. Post, assistant secretary U. S. Bureau of Labor, and Prof. Chas. B. Hill of Georgetown University. The Fisk speakers were Jasper T. Atkins, '20, and Benjamin F. Gordon, '19. In Nashville Fisk argued the affirmative side of the same subject debated in Washington and won a 2 to 1 decision. Edward N. Beasley, 18, and Joseph H. Berry, 19, represented Fisk, and Joseph H. Carey, 19, pastor Vine Street church; Dr. G. W. Dyer, professor of economics and sociology, and Dr. Edwin Milms, professor of English language and literature, Vanderbilt university. The coach for Fisk is Isaac Fisher, the well known writer. Last year under his training Fisk won her first victory, but not only has she won on both sides of the question, but it was remarked by a number of persons at the Fisk-Howard debate that Fisk is the first school to defeat Howard in Washington. So thoroughly do the Fisk students believe in their coach that they insisted on being permitted, without help from anyone, to participate in the expenses of the trip of the coach to and from Washington so that he might be with the team.

After the marriage they joined the Zion Baptist Church, which was then meeting among the laureates of those who served the mortar to build the church, while his wife, who died three years ago, was the cook for the meals for the carpenters and brick masons who built the church. Years later Mr. Lewis was diving room man for the Tylers, one of the wealthiest white families in Kentucky. He worked for them over thirty years and much toward electing Mr. S.

Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, closed Saturday afternoon, April 6, 1918. This has been one of the most clinical clinics since the practice of conducting this kind of medical care at the Tuskegee surgeons were present from Nashville, Tenn.; Lexington, Ky.; Atlanta, Macon and Athens, Ga.; Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham, Opelia, Decatur and Annapolis. The first day was devoted to the treatment of patients who came to the out-clinic. Patients were present at the clinic and were the state of Macon county and some from state of Georgia, and the large number of physicians and surgeons had all the work they could do during the three days. The clinic was very closely devoted to operative work. Quite a large number of various kinds of operations were performed. Operations on the tonsils, adenoids and bone work were performed. Operations of conditions were performed with ease and skill by the surgeons present, showing that they had a mastery of the situation, a large and various set of skills, and themselves for treatment, not a case was turned down. All received the indicated treatment. With this clinic there was a permanent organization perfected, known as the John A. Andrew Clinical Society, the object of which is to conduct the clinic from year to year. This organization which present themselves for treatment and develop more interest and greater skill on the part of the Negro physicians and surgeons in the examination of medical and surgical cases presented. Friday night a banquet was spread with sixty plates, during which there were more than 100 beautiful instruments furnished by the Tuskegee Institute Orchestra and there was singing and select reading, followed by a reception of important papers were read and discussed until 2 a.m. The general impression was that much good has been accomplished already by the organization of the Tuskegee Institute and there is a great future in store for it.

The unfavorable impressions in the lives of the young generation made by individuals which we come in personal contact with the two-year plan, and the records obtained from students who had finished such courses, will be to those who pursue the full four-year course. It has been conceded by persons in authority that the inflow on the prize to the students to follow such a course is especially noted in the ranks of the indolent. The many disadvantages and handicaps which students have been caused by this plan are one of the main mentions against its existence. The very same handicaps his activities with the museum course, and seeks to accomplish in two years what he could not actually attend. The fourth is, of course, the fourth, is sufficient evidence to curse this educational hoodwink. To endeavor to cram into a half-hearted student four years may be regarded as an impossible and send such a student into this great commercial age of ours with be termed an "education on crutches." Universities of higher training have absolutely refused to acknowledge the credentials of such courses, and in many cases have refused to train the two-year training plan are forced to return to school in order to gain proper recognition in such institutions. John has served well its purpose with the course, and he has taken the course as a side line in order to fit themselves for places in the commercial field that have already been trained. In the event that the students of our Race generally misconstrue the main purpose of the plan and use it as a conventure to pursue courses of a technical or academic nature, they are handicapped in the event that the greatest field is greatly narrowed to their interest and they cannot be expected to pursue courses of a technical or academic nature, so that of sufficient credentials and training. In the case of Dr. Funnelle Emanuel, who after twenty-five years' absence from active school life desired to obtain entrance in a medical college to attend a four-year course, she had only to present her credentials which she had obtained by attending a four-year course and was given immediate recognition. While in many cases, had she selected the two-year course, she had not been the result and in order to obtain a proper hearing she would have been forced to return to school and complete the prescribed four-year course. She was known among ambitious students as the "Council of Solid Ivories, or the Last Resort of the Flunks," but the ridicule does not seem to serve its purpose sufficiently, as is demonstrated by the number of indolent students who seek enrolment in this department.

Looked to me 'er congregation dressed— Mebby I'm a bit old-fashioned, but I like the old way best. IGNORING THE COLOR LINE IN EVERY IMPORTANT and essential particular we believe in and advocate Race unity. Nothing can ever be accomplished along political or any other lines unless there is union and harmony among ourselves. The absence of such union and harmony in the past is undoubtedly the principal reason why more has not been accomplished and why more material progress has not been made. In making this statement it must not be understood that the race line should be drawn in politics. The primary object and purpose of the Race union and harmony referred to is to influence political parties to accord to us consideration and recognition of which we would otherwise be deprived. In other words, if we say nothing and do nothing it will be assumed that we are satisfied with what we have, and that there is no just cause for complaint on our part. If we have grievances we cannot have them remedied if we do not make them known. In this way we will be contributing to the creation of a public sentiment which will ultimately remedy the evils of which we complain. But if an attempt is made on our part to draw the race line in politics, it will have a tendency to retard and prevent, rather than to encourage and promote, the objects and purposes desired. In a recent political campaign one of the candidates gave expression in a public communication to the following: "This movement, composed of the most representative men and women of the ward, is here to stay, and demands that wherever the Race is numerically in the majority, whether in the precinct or in the ward, there the Race shall control." The above is an unwise and an unfortunate expression and should never have been used. The colored American cannot afford to draw the color line in politics, or support, countenance or encourage any one in an effort to do so. That is what we have continually and consistently condemned and denounced in the Democratic party. The Democratic is the party that is chiefly and primarily responsible for racial proscription, political discrimination and official segregation. We deny that this is a white man's government simply because the white people are in the majority. On the contrary, we claim that it is or it should be a government of all classes of which the citizenship is composed, without distinction or discrimination based upon differences of race, color, nationality or religion. This, we contend, is the true and genuine type of Democracy. Consequently a colored American has as much right as a white American to aspire to a position in localities where the whites are in a majority. In like manner a white American has as much right as a colored American to aspire to a position in localities where the colored people are in the majority. Then again, the fact must not be overlooked that ours is a government of parties. Persons are elected or defeated for office, or should be, on account of their political or party affiliations and not on account of their race identity. Let us suppose the Democrats nominated a colored man in a locality in which the colored people were in the majority and the Republicans nominated a white man in the same locality; according to the logic set forth by the candidate above quoted it would be the duty of the colored voters of that locality to ignore party lines and vote for the colored candidate solely on account of his race identity, which means, of course, that the white people of that locality would be expected to vote in a solid mass for the white candidate for the same reason. An issue of this sort is unwise, mischievous and dangerous, for by raising the color line the ultimate harm resulting therefrom will overbalance any temporary advantage that may be secured. Policewomen WHEN CHICAGO adopted the slogan the letter. There is nothing too big in this wonderful city. If there is nowearer to practicing true civic virtue, there is within its gates, and while these settlements, speak their mother's customs, they are in hearty accord by adopted city bigger and better. If there is nowearer to appointive position in turning body, and usually get it. If there is running of things, surely the she same privilege. We have had for a while numerical strength counts for any whole life fashion we have represented, where it went pervading our little group, a spirit it brings results. Among other things a appointment of one or more of our officers by this paper. When directly directed, could give a helping se who are just starting out on their through the untrifling efforts of Al. G. Wilson of Chicago—the first Race w position. Mrs. Wilson is a woman a experience in managing incorrigible girl a gender that will reflect credible interest in credit for so anything but an easy task. Botted the slogan "I VIII!" nothing too big or too great city. If there is any spain practicing true democracy and while these groups of peas their mother tongues and their heart accord with everyty and better. If they insist on repeatedly get it. If the hyphenated surely the simon pure art have had for a great many apointive positions—some of them in room for others, but others a drop in the bucket to those counts for anything, can attention the vault possible to group a spirit of help one group, a spirit of help one city or more of our women on it could have attention a helping hand to our out on their downward cliffs efforts of Alderman Louis Wilson was appo the first Race woman is a woman of culture and incorrigible girls, and will reflect credit on the city credit for securing this skis. WHEN CHICAGO adopted the slogan "I WILL" she meant to carry it out to the letter. There is nothing too big or too great to be undertaken by the people in this wonderful city. If there is any spot in these United States that come near to preaching true democracy than Chicago, its light and its power will be the best place to live within its gates, and while these groups of people in the main live in little settlements, speak their mother tongue and adhere to some of their old customs, they are in heart accord with everything that tends to make them larger and better. If their numbers are larger and better, they insist on representation in every public governing body, and usually get it. If the hyphenated Americans have a voice in the running of things, surely the simon pure article should at least have the same privilege. We have had for a great many years men who have hold enviable executive and appetitive positions—some of those men have spent time at training at the public tribble; some have served a term or two and stepped out of their positions; the positions we have held and are holding are but a drop in the bucket to those we are actually entitled to. If numerical strength counts for anything. In a previous issue we called attention to the various places wherein we lacked representation and where it was possible to get it. There is a new avenue for training at the public tribble; one another a racial loyalty that brings results. Among other things the Chicago police are the appointment of one or more of our women on the police force, believing that they not only would be a great asset in uncovering crime, but, if properly directed, could give a helping hand to our young women, especially those in the downward career. Through the uniting efforts of Alice Anderson, ably seconded by this paper, Mrs. Grace Wilson was appointed to a place on the police force of Chicago—the first Race woman in the United States to hold such a position. Mrs. Wilson is a woman of culture and refinement, has a wide experience in managing incorrigible girls, and will undoubtedly acquire her own collective credit on the city of Chicago. Anderson deserves great credit for securing this appointment, for it was anything but an easy task. The Election WELL, THE ALDERMENIC ELEGANCE and other political tools can now be bursse some are bound to be disgruntled over fight—but a true sport gives in medicine like a little man. These real fight; if we must fight, "over the measure" to the stair beat if asked to be elected to the city councils selected the man they wanted to.

WELL, THE ALDERMANC ELECTION is over and the hatchet, spades, and other political tools can now be buried, for the time being at least. Of course some are bound to be disgruntled—couldn't help but be with such a litter fight, a true sport gives in when he is fairly whipped, and takes a chance to show his charisma. It is hard to continue a local fight; if we must fight, "over there" is the best place to get it off our system. Two men stand before the voters of the Second ward, Chicago, and asked to be elected to the city council; there was but one vacancy. The voters selected the man they wanted and the curtain was dropped. There are so many other things political that need our united support. We need to show our loyalty to our duty to stand back of the man we sent to represent us; if at the end of his not measure up to the standard, haunt him down and try another. Two years pass around very quickly, a fact that the elected man knows only too well. With a united vote in the Second ward marvels can be worked; we are just in our infancy; just beginning to see the light of our political day. Are we ready to stand for our country? Are we ready to all the plums, or are we to throw aside petty differences and present all the solid front? The Defender feels confident that it voices the sentiments of all when it extends hearty congratulations to our new alderman, Major Robert R. Jackson. OUR HEALTH EDITOR suggests that we get out and clean up our back yards and alleys, and do away with the garm-breeding places. Well, perhaps we had better, get busy—they say "health is wealth," and we are all looking for the "long green." CHICAGO DEFENDER OUR POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STATUS PROGRESS OF U. S. IN FIRST YEAR OF WAR SHOWN AT A GLANCE (Data from the Committee on Public Information.) "We are trying a great experiment in the United States. Can we gather together from the ends of the earth people of different races, creeds, conditions and aspirations, who can be merged into one? IF WE CANNOT DO THIS WE WILL FAIL. If we do this we will produce the greatest of all nations and a new race that will long hold a compelling force in the world." Secretary Franklin Lane, Department of the Interior. For which we thank you, Mr. Lane, for which we thank you. A follow begins to feel as though he were living to some purpose under the glorious old banner of freedom when a member of the President's cabinet speaks right out in meetin' thus like. Secretary Lane said that, and a great deal more that's mighty good and true, in an address before a very distingished assembly of governors, chairmen of state defense councils, heads of civic organizations, industrial leaders of business men. The secretary delivered business note" address on "Americanization." The brethren assembled most certainly, now, if they will, go back home and work on opportunity" we will, as sayeth the prophet, GET SOMEWHERE. We must come to it"; we are to it now. We must duterated, no-demanding case of "facing the music," and if we do not face it, we are to one song, and that is "Good-by-Old." Give It to Roosevelt You'll have to hand it to Roosevelt. Maybe you don't like him, for one reason, another, but he is giving more force to him, so he isivoting in these troublesome times than any other living person. He is a real American can read Colonel White's main address, or his recent editorials, and he their loftiness of purpose, he has a mind so warped with prejudice that it's curled up like a poplar board in the grass. We are all Americans now, nothing more nor less. If we are less in any particular, or in any degree, less than Americans, we are false patriots and traitors. Roosevelt is a Republican and Lana is a Democrat, but in their fine efforts to arouse this nation to a sense of justice, do they not more nearly represent duty, do they not more nearly nation than Jim Vardaman, who, as a member of a very important government committee, is letting segregation in his wake like odors from a skunk? There is only one kind of justice, and President Wilson named it some time later. Equal and exact justice." In every instance, words must be backed up by deeds. Another Illinois Lynching Illinois has been playing the popular American game of "lynching" again, but this time the unfortunate victim was a German. Governor Lowden is on the hook of the incident—or is this more than the incident—because lynching is getting action from the federal government, not, as we have heard up to date, because lynching in itself is a burbarous performance, but because it is feared that the Germans must be the playing of the lynching game on the opposite side, lots across the pond, and use Americans as the rope halt. Lynch law must go! But it must go The total estimated expense of the government in the first year of war, without loans to the allies, is $12,067,278,679.07. During the first year of war the United States army has increased in actual strength from 9,524 officers and 202,610 men enlisted to 183,801 officers and 1,582,824 men. Total appropriations for the war department since April 6, 1917, $7,464,717,768.48; withdrawals from the treasury by the war department from June 1, 1918, to March 9, 1918, were $7,066,761,907.15. Later after war not represent actual expenditures or obligations, but merely withdrawals from the treasury. The strength of the navy today is nearly 214,000 and 300,000 enlisted men; strength of the army ago was 4,793 officers and 77,946 enlisted men. Total naval appropriations, real and pending, $3,333,171,665.04. The first contingent of the expeditionary forces landed safely at a French port eighty-eight days after war was declared. American troops went on the line for their baptism of fire 127 days after war was declared. There are now four times as many vessels in the naval service as a year ago. The estimated pay of officers and men of the navy for the first year of the war. $125,000,000. The annual pay of the army now exceeds a half billion dollars. Production of 10,000 new automobile trucks is in progress for the army, in addition to purchases of $820 passenger cars, 6,126 motorcycles and 5,040 bicycles, with appropriate repair and replacement equipment. During the first year of the war the army expended $60,000,000 for horsepower, vehicles and harness; more than $50,000,000 for munitions and wariness. Expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, for fuel and forage is estimated at more than half a billion dollars. Machining guns, are being produced at the rate of 225,000 a year, 424-inch guns at the rate of 15,000 per year. When war was declared 122 naval vessels' were building or authorized and contracts have been placed since that time for 949 vessels. In less than three weeks after enactment of the selective service law the population of the country within a draught of approximately 10,000 men, presented themselves before some 10,000 boards and registered. For drawing army and provost marshal general's operations was $18,000;000; cost per man accepted for service, $4.93. The total weight of steel thrown by a single broadside from the battleship Pennsylvania today is 17,503 pounds; because it is one of the most damnable spots in American life Leading citizens of the South, white, are waking up to the real facts in the past. They have formed a Law and Order League. They have adopted some resolutions that some of them might have been written by Webb Phillips or William Lloyd Garrison. The whole set of them are inspiring for frankness, but read this paragraph: "We are forced to confess that the silence of the best people in the press is the silence of their unwillingness to grapple with it, have helped to produce the conditions or which have sprung lawless and brutal crimes, and the law. WE HAVE A STRONG CONVICTION THAT LYNCHING IS UNLEASHED UNDER ANY AND ALL CIRCUMSUMS AND ANY WRONG IN THE SIGHT OF MAN AND GOD." The kind of talk ought to hold 'em for them if backed up by grim determination. The Big Idea All of the foregoing leads up to the big idea. The men in public office and in private positions in our economic life, such as members by Secretary Lane, these men must be real men, 100 per cent Americans. They must return for people to form themselves into a government as long as we have a government, officials will be selected through party lines, but we have come to the time and the moment that people want at home exactly what we are fighting for abroad—freedom and democracy. The political party, whether it be Democratic, Republican, Nationalist or what not, that most nearly approaches the carrying out of these fundamental principles, that party is going to elect its men. When the people get to thinking right they don't care a tinker's dam about machines, bosses, parties or any other form of ablation. They spew on them all, and vote as their conscience dictates. That's what we need to be done this year of our Lord 1918. A SIGN AND A CAUSE A sign of this determination is manifesting itself in the matter of prohibition. Prohibition is coming to this state, and the legislatures of state after state are voting to adopt the prohibition constitutional amendment. There are going to be some more tough lights, and there are going to be some more tough plays like the one recently pulled in Chicago. But that only defers; it does not defer. Even the drinking Americas sportmanship, and the Chicagoans will probably come stronger than ever next time they get a whack. It is it about? "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," is the answer. The packing establishments of Chicago are employing more than 20,000 Race men and women, and the founders of the country are employing hundreds of thousands, manufacturing and commercial concerns employed in offices now by the hundreds of thousands of skilled Race people; they are employed by the railroads in various capacities; and the unemployed in offices now by the hundreds of thousands of skilled bookkeepers. More opportunities are at hand than we have ever before had; our sons and brothers and friends are waiting, on to the battle fields of France. Let us keep at the helm in the high places the best that America affords in manhood, character and courage, and success will be ours. WE MUST ALL WORK TOGETHER AND WE WILL GET SOMEWHERE maximum broadside of the largest ship during the Spanish-American war was 5,600 pounds. More than 11,000 manufacturers bid for navy business. Our 14-inch guns weigh nearly ninety-five tons and are 68½ feet long, costing $118,000. Six new authorized battleships are designed, to be 41,500 tons, the largest battleships in the world. Our 35,000-ton cruisers, thirty-five knots, will be the fastest in the world, their speed equaling the fastest destroyers. Prompt repairs of 108 intermed German ships, partially wrecked by their crews, added more than 700,000 tons to our available naval andchant tonnage. For training troops in cantonments 1,000,000,000 rounds of ammunition have been bought. The navy has developed an American mine believed to combine all the good points of various types of mines, and is manufacturing them in quantities. The Young Men's Christian association, the Young Women's Christian association and the Knights of Columbus huts are fixtures in the life of every soldier and sailor. Hostess houses been built in thirty-two cantonments and camps outside library centers are running in army camps and fifteen are ordered constructed. All camps have athletic fields, one having twenty-six gridrons. Army medical training schools have been created with a capacity of 24 officers and men, a capacity of 18 men and 6,003 officers already trained and graduated. During the year the latest type of naval 16-inch gun was completed for our new battleships. It throws a projectile weighing 2,100 pounds. Appropriations available for expenditure for the naval service for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, total $3,174,100,401.91 Average monthly disbursements by the ordinance department of the army during the first year of war were over $99,000,000. Several hundred submarine chasers, built since the war have been delivered to the navy by thirty-three concerns' and six navy yards. Many of these boats have crossed the Atlantic, some in severe weather. $500 Subscribed for Third Loan Crenshaw, Miss, April 12.—The third labor bond sale opened here Saturday, during the highway rightmost, pastor of Holly Grove Baptist church, called the people together, Wallace, J.

WHAT ONE SAILOR DID (Written for and dedicated to the Colored boys of the U. S. S. Louisiana) As the great warship like a monstrous ghoast, Shipped out and away from the darkened coast, Not a sound was heard save a muffled sigh, As the boys looked showers and sald good-by. They had mothers and sweethearts and all the rest. But they sailed with the flag, for they loved that best. They had mothers and sweethearts and all the best. But they, sailed with the flag, for they loved that best. They had left America far behind, And the Stars and Stripes in the eve Floated above them, and gave to all. The resolve to win or together fall. Colored and white as of but one blood. Shoulder to shoulder as brothers stood. When suddenly out of the nowhere came A burgundy thunder, a flash of flame; And the Stars and Stripes from its staff so far. Oultered and drooped as about to fall. An officer cried, "Look out there, son, The flag's shot down by an enemy gun." But lo, as he spoke, through the rain of shell That came as out of the mouth of hell, And made him bleed like a wounded stag. A Colored lad climbed toward the swaying flag. And cheer on cheer rent the evening aline As he reached the flag and held it there. Then they dropped; and loving hands, white and black. Caught him safe us he tumbled back, Had amped of folds of the banner that he among gave with such wondrous bravery. And he said, when he could, through the bloody gag, "Oh, tell me they gave ill I save the flag?" —EDNA PERRY BOOTH 814 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, N. Y. FORGETTING MOTHER An ambulance stood at the curb, crowd of the curious, filled the side-walk, anxious to get a glimpse of the face of the form that lay upon the cot, and 1. being only human, joined the crowd. I was surprised when I recognized the wasted features of the young man that lay there, for I had lost a second leg in the robust health and enjoying life. Then, I had been with a friend of mine, and those were the days before a woman had taught him to forget his mother. Her teachings were thorough, for today his remains rest in an unmarked ground in the pottery's field, for no one knew the address of the mother he had learned to forget. He had some here from the South, had obtained lucrative employment and was saving; his money to send for his mother, but one night he met a woman, fair of face and black of heart, and then he unophisticated youth (for he was only 22) made known his plans to her, she then began her first lesson to teach him to forget. No more evenings were spent at home letter-writing to mother; no more times were set as the probable day of her coming; no more packages of books were addressed to mother, but it had been the old situation of the spider and the fly accepted His lodgings were changed, he was taught to work overtime, for this woman demanded that every desire be pursued. The result of this extra work brought sickness, and when, in his delirium, he caused insultantly for this woman, was no longer needed. No; for then his days of usefulness were over, and she was busily engaged ensuring another victim. He had never if he had not forgotten mother. I do not claim that mother could have saved him, for even mothers can do nothing delta the margin of the inevitable, but he was able to will the power to alleviate pain and save suffering, for none of us have conquered death, as we are all instructed down in the predestined scheme of things. Mother does not forget, and there are many instances where she is not conquered, as mother well, the ugliest duckling is not conquered and tended, and the biggest of soundrels has one woman who will mourn his death, be it open grief or in silence. Never forget mother, and remember that some time during the life of every mother she performs some good deed or faces among the host of humble heroines or needs graun record and praises unsu Dollie Hubbard, Poetess.

WILLIAMS human machine? Being a machine the human machine requires occasional inspection as surely as any other machine. In fact, assistance of your machine (body) requires a higher degree of skill and intelligence in examination than that of an automobile or sewing machine, for the reason that the human machine is the most wonderfully and the most delicately constructed of all machines. It may be more mature machine, primarily it is very much like a man-made machine. It wears out and it gets out of order sometimes. It needs to be overlooked at times, and sometimes necessary to be laid up for repairs (slackness). The human machine differs from the man-made machine in that when under the process of rest and cessation of its activities, the human machine tends to repair itself, and frequently a good proper dieting, regular habits of sleep, will often restore the almost delapidated machine to active service. What would you think of a man that bought a fine man-made machine and ran it for weeks, months and years without ever taking the pain to induction, tightening up bolts or oil and grease and tightening up bolts or oil after any defects, although there might be no many brakes squeaking and many other unnatural sounds about the machine? Would you not consider him a wise man who would occasionally injure himself over by an expert to detect the slightest defects and have the bolts tightened up and the various parts gone over before starting on a long journey? You say that lubrication is an imminent defect, but there is a man who never oils, greases nor molestens—who never does a thing to eliminate friction. Keap Body in Good Order The object of this homely talk is to call your attention to the very important fact of detecting the earliest and most important signs of china. This can best be done by having a careful, intelligent inspection or examination made of yourself. We should not be alarmed by the nominees to prevent disease than to cure disease. If you find that some The possibilities of our boy's opportunities in the commercial world today are far greater than in the past but is he any more qualified than in the past in order that he might take advantage of the opportunities he has from my experience within the past few months I would say, without hesitation. I greatly tire of the abortive effort of a certain class of white men, who in these times of world conflict would so far forget the tremendous responsibility of the United States to co-ordinate the war against the enemy. I greatly tire of the abortive effort form a scourge with which to whip the Huns into the line of common decency, to say nothing of democracy, to themselves to this supreme task there is a large class of "Bave" officers whose writer the writer of the Outlook of March 13 but voices in the article, "Mobilizing the Army," that they may we discredit and discourage the Negro ability as a leader of men and officer in the great world war now raging. It just can't be done, my wife, and I. Vote your energy to the study of the control of fire and care of soldiers in the field, for it will do you more good in the trying days to come than will you do in the days of the war. The Negro officers in this great national struggle, for a very large percentage of the men that you slur were leading men and receiving the opium of the enemy, you were the enemy will be leading men when you are dead. In my twenty odd years of military experience I have served under white officers in the Army, the Negro officers in the 5th infantry, and I am free to confess that I have followed, with greater pride and fearlessness the leadership of my Race of Warriors. And this in view of the fact that in those days white officers led with gallantry and loved the soldiers of chonky hue. These same soldiers, thus lovingly and honorously, are the experience, are men now officiering bone of their home and flesh of their flesh, and it all becomes any second enemy. In the past only a handful of men with the perfections of periodical of the recognized standing of the Outlook, with its much loved and venerated Lyman Abbott, one officer of the Army, listened with great profit, to stoop so low as to try and discredit the valor of men of my Race in general, the Negro race, particularly to have gladiators allotted for service or slaughter. The best refutation of the inant article by the youthful, inexperienced and proud leeutenants of second lieutenants of the "Nomapallor" 5th, now the 30th Illinois infantry. There is not a white officer in the regiment and I refer to army discipline, more patriotic, more morbid or more uniting in their efforts to make good, more healthy and neater. To the young second lieutenants I would ask them to breathe and breath youth, lest it come to waste; consult the files of the adjutant general's office, if you know what that is and where to find it, and how to obtain the necessary data, before you can do the job of courage, discipline and ability to lead men into the "valley of death and into the jaws of hell." Until then read, study, learn, learn your prejudice and prejudice country's name. Hoping to meet you over there on the firing line and praying for an opportunity to come to your assistance leading up to the battles. CAPT. W.M. S. BRADFORD Chaplain 370th Inf., S. N. G.

Why not use the common sense of the engineer on a locomotive, of the train dispatcher, of the train trains? Do you believe that an engineer would attempt to run his train with a cracked wheel under his car? It might be one of the fastest trains in the world, but the station he will have all the wheels and boxes examined, and if there is a hot box or a cracked wheel or any disorder of the running gear of the train, it will be cut out, because the engineer will take no chances with a hot box or cracked wheel, however urgent his cargo of human beings may be. So, when a common sense of the engineer is common sense to yourself, to your human machine? You will then understand why when in the very prime of life, when great responsibilities devolve upon you, when a plush some important战 we suddenly fall, or some of us triumph and others meet disastrous defeat. The reason is plain. We tried to run the wheel or a bad carburator, and our machine failed us when we most needed it in the form of paralysis, sudden heart failure; Bright's disease overtook us, and were making our supreme effort to accomplish our greatest deed in life. We note from the insurance reports that there are at least five million adults in the United States who have serious organic disorders that could have been prevented by a careful inspection or examination and that could now be easily remedied if the people had sufficient intelligence to keep the human machine in perfect running order at all times. There are many thousands of people using home remedies, consulting their ignorant neighbors about their problems, keeping the human machine mended through newspapers, purchasing medicine through various drug stores and in fact imposing upon themselves self-medication, who know nothing about the causation nor the mechanisms behind their problems. The wise and proper thing to do would be to consult a first class physician and have him make a careful examination, inspection—thus disease prevention and intelligent and proper prevention taken to avert more serious trouble. Most people neglect this intelligent course and wait until the disease has gotten a good start in their bodies. Were it not that people were ignorant it would seem that they were willingly and daily committing suicide by neglecting to look after the human machine. LITIES FOR OUR COMMERCIAL WORLD tion, he is not. Why? Because out of the number of boys whom I have had come to the Pullman building to apply for positions as efficient men is really important to the people anointed to have going to the all claimed to have gone as far as the seventh grade or higher in their school work. What is more discouraged? My social occasions I have had the question when it was that our boys did not attend plough school and qualify. One year ago I put the first Colored office boy in the Pullman company and today I have been and was not to be off the off-road and to be off the off-road of the year of the year of them is preparing himself for what opportunity might present itself, although it has had a heart-to-heart attitude with each of the following him to do so. The average father is to do so. The average mother is to do so. The boy's education is not to keep closely in touch with his work and the other. Keeping the touch with the teacher is a very essential matter as in many instances, if the parent is indifferent, the teacher is indifferent. There are many school boys and girls that are very close to the school and tell their parents that they have had so much promoted when they were not qualified to be promoted. I speak from experience with my own boy, who together with others was being promoted during their school years. I am a great teacher in school days in order to make it come from for me to children, but from the fact that we kept in touch with his work and his teachers were able to prevent the progress of the school. For his understanding his school is not roughly today. To the father and mother of school boys and girls there is nothing so essential as the education that they are not able to do so. It is no hope without it and it is not a hope. Every boy who is not going to take a technical or professional course in all means to take a short-hand course, he will realize there are exceptions to therefore I am not likely to come to parents who show no proper interest in the boys and girls. 350,000 Acres of Land in Ogunle Bolaa- City, April 12, opens the recommendation of Secretary of the Interior Jane, the President has signed a proclamation restoring about 45,000 acres of land in southeastern Idaho, north of Idaho and in the river, from coal withdrawal.
