Her object there was for a purchase. After failing to be satisfied by the salesman, who tried to force upon her something she did not want, she re-entered the street, sitting on her own shoes, this white bride, the southern type struck her a violent blow in the face with the heel of a shoe. The matter was immediately re-examined, and the complaint against the clerk in the justice court, where he pleaded guilty and was fined $5.

Four Murdered by Georgia 'Crackers' Four Murdered by Georgia 'Crackers' Valdosta, Ga., May 24—Hayes Turner and his wife, Mrs. Mary Turner, accused in connection with the murder of Hampton Smith (white), a Brooks county farmer, and the wounding of his wife at their near Barney last Thursday night. May 16, were lynched by a gang of white heatheads and body of Smith. The crime is said have been abetted by the cruel treatment of them and his wife, who hired the Turners to work on their farm, the Turners alleged that he brutally whipped Turners wife with a cowhide because of her refusal to work longer without pay, there being some difference in the wages. Following the attack upon his wife, Turner went to the Smith home and demanded an explanation from the slave driver, whereupon Smith sought Turner. Slightly wounded, Turner overcooked Smith and endeavored to make good his escape. Smith gave chase, accompanied by his wife. Both were armed with a rifle and with the thought of being fired upon, ran to his home and there found his wife, Will head and Will Thompson seated in the dining room conversing, shortly after he finished his story a volley of shots rang out and tore the side window from the house. Smith and his wife had stationed themselves in the residence with buckshot. Will Head, Turner and Will Thompson are said to have returned the fire and finally drove Smith and his wife to the residence of shot that surrounded the duel scene Smith was shot to death through a window. Thompson and Head were apprehended by a passport to a tree and riddled with bullets. Sidney Johnson, who, it is claimed, joined the four lynch victims in repulsing the attacks of the Smiths,翠敏 citizens and is still at large.

Sheriff Wade of Brooks county was rushing Mrs. Mary Turner to the county jail at Barney when the mob took over the house and tied a rope around her body and dragged it to a tree near Folsom's bridge, where it was strung up. The mob is also looking for a man who would have helped to have added Johnson in effecting his escape. Reports said Johnson had been traced to a swamp and that his capture at that time was momentarily unrest. The mob violence has created such an excitement that people are leaving the community in droves. It is esti- mated that responsible citizens have announced for sale and are contemplating abandoning the crime district. The general unrest caused by the lynching of Mrs. Turner was severely felt when it was announced that he accounted for, and it is thought that the occupations in the community failed to show up for work following the lynching. Final reports state that the mob accounted for, and it is thought that the occupations in the country. Prof. W. A. Titus Dies of a Broken Heart Lexington, Ky., May 24. Prof. W. A. Titus, superintendent of the Colored Orphans' Home, and a well known citizen, died suddenly in his office Mon., November 15, 2014, shipped to Bremen for marital. He had served three years as superintendent of the orphan home, and was arrested for making alleged disloyal statements of the nation and President.

He was the board of managers of the orphan home relative to the charges filed against him when death came. It is claimed that he brooded over the accretion of the charges. He is said to have remarked shortly before his death: "I have lived 66 years and have never been attacked by the public for unworthy conduct, and by the autumn of my life I am grossly disloyal to my country. It is enough to break my heart to leave such a heritage as this to my children." The board of managers had assembled and organized a professor Titus when the news of his death.

FALSE CHARGES STIR CAMP GRANT SOLDIERS FALSE CHARGES STIR CAMP GRANT SOLDIERS Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill., May 24. —False charges of rape were hurled by white soldiers at the members of the 365th infantry to cover up some incidents, and particularly one which has happened out here. As near as a Defender reporter can learn, armed guards and military patrol were withholding information where the supposed rape was committed. Neither guards nor police have made any report of a woman's screams, yet guards and military patrol says some member of the 365th infantry was put in quarantine and Saturday afternoon, about 3:30, the 365th regiment of infantry and the 350th regiment of infantry says that this woman and marched before a white woman who sat in a chair with a white cloth covering one side of her face, surmounted by a weak effort to contact one of these two commands with the case. The attempt proved futile. Can one imagine the humiliation of the officers and men of this command? Monday the officers of the 365th regiment raised nearly $500 to bring to earth a man who is not hurt who is the cause of all the trouble. Rumor makes it evident that this woman is either an impostor or has gone so far as to suggest this method of attack in a very uncompromising state of affairs. Southern shelders herself. Southern officers being in the camp, it is thought they have gone so far as to suggest that the officers in the depot brigade have a habit of not only causing the men to attack as well as to kick them around. Compaints to the officers higher up have only brought the curt reply for the men to return to their commands and suitting the chip upon their shoulders." R. R.

STATION TO BE REOPENED Alderman Anderson and Jackson Wirn Up Hill Battle Through the efforts of Alderman Anderson and Jackson, the Stanton Avenue station, located at 35th street and Rhodes avenue, will be opened next week. This was definitely decided when Alderman Anderson called on Acting Chief Alcock this week to ascertain what the program of the department with reference to this station would be, in which so many of the residents of the Second Ward, particularly of the ward, are interested. Objections repeatedly have been made not only to the Defender, but to the Alderman as well, that it was a hardship in the south end to be forced to take the 26th street station in order to make complaints. This argument wasanced by Alderman Anderson and Jackson the finance officer, the chief of police, with the result that it has been sotted and agreed to open the station. The principal benefits, therefore, will be to afford easy access to the office where the complaints of a police character. Three sergeants will be stationed there for each of the eight hour shifts, together with a telephone operator and a nurse, who will be largely used as a dormitory for women together with the additional advantage of being able to transact all police business there, the nature of compliance with the law, and be Douglas 1117, and will be available for service the early part of next week. Sole credit for accomplishing this mission is due to the vigorous and energetic work of Alderman Anderson and Jackson. THE MOB SPIRIT WASHINGTON, May 27—Chas. W. Walker (white) of New Orleans, La., Dyer's bill to make lynchings representative eral crime, had this to say: "The bill might not pass at this time, but the law is clear to be a law. In common with all advocates of state rights I regret it is necessary to take such stops, but it is not necessary to retract our ret out persons responsible for lynchings. Looking back over such outrages as have occurred in the last five years, I am in the case where any member of the mob paid the penalty for taking the law in his own hand. The present as this, born of a Southern mind, shows very clearly that the spirit of hypocrisy is on the wane in the South, and that the true spirit of the law is exercising a wholesome influence.

Before Henry Johnson and Private Roberts, while on sentry duty at some distance from one another, attacked by a German raiding team a twenty men, who advanced in two groups, attacking at once from flank and rear. The men fought bravely in hand-to-hand combat, one resorting to the use of a knife after his rifle jammed and further fighting with bayonet. There is even a second, at least one and probably a second German man was severely cut. A third is known to have been shot. "Attention is drawn to the fact that the first attached and trussed fighting after receiving wounds and despite the use of a superior force. They should be superior force. Preventing by their bravery, the capture of any of our men. Three of our men were wounded, two trussed. All are recovering and wounds in two cases are slight."

Another German leaped at Roberts, who bunged forward with his knife, almost the man. Roth Johnson and Roberts on the German cried out in English: "The son of a — got me!" Johnson all this time was shouting, the guard "but another German fired at him with the bullet stirling him in the arm. As the intrepid Negro fell he managed to hurt a single grenade, which from the signs found in the morning blow the man to pieces. Then Johnson fainted. But the Germans had had enough and they scuttled off in the darkness, behind the walls, and leaving behind stretchers, wire cutters, grenades and revolvers.

PAGE FOUR Theatrical Review Lafayette Stock Doing Big at the Avenue; Good Bills at Other Houses "You can't judge an actor by his size; the biggest drum in the band plays the fewest notes." "Common Clay," unusual in plot, power and action, is this week's presentation by the Lafayette Stock com- jalty, and it's also wonderful popularly gained by great play of last week. "Common Clay" tells a story that is both interesting and dramatic. The efforts of the college go youth to hide the results of his illicit relations with a girl servant in the house and the consequent denouncement for the basis of the story, which is irrepain- MARY MAY --- etally well handled by the competent cast. In the seeking by the parents of the youth to show that the girl victim of their son's amorous activities was a person with an unsavory past, unworthy of consideration and untimely to her than what had occurred to her through her innocent belief in what the aristocratic scapgrace promised in the way of matriarchal atonement if anything came of their relations, they bring their principal witness face to face with the peril of criminal prosecution on a charge of seduction. There is a startling climax when the lawyer for the defense learns the truth of the girl's mother, who was trapped by him in the same manner years before. He stumbles upon the fact white cross-examining a witness in an effort to draw some damaging material regarding the girl's earlier history and he at last stands in the presence of and starts at the door, where he had thought was a closed incident, sealed by twenty or more years of regret and silence. As the wronged girl, Miss Abbie Mitchell again has a chance to show forth as a real exponent of dramatic art. Beginning in the first act with a light characterization bordering close onto comedy, she goes on down the line of emotions until at the climax she gears out and ends with a startling "Tahc" Townsend, as Judge Filson, unconsciously the parent of the victim of the plot, has the strongest part of any since the arrival of the great company here, and he truly makes the most of it. He is remarkable in the character and handles the difficult situations in a masterful manner. Mr. Townsend has a voice that is both powerful and charming. It gives him the great advantage of a forceful and convincing delivery. Charles Olden, who is becoming a great favorite with Avenue audiences, plays the part of the son in a manner that leaves no doubt as to his ability as a juvenile, and as Coakley, the dissolve sion of a wealthy family. A. B. deMarthère is excellent. Inex Clouch the dissolve sion of a wealthy family. T.oin Torn from the head of the family are plausing. Susie Sutton does a fine bit of character work in the court scene as the foster mother of "the girl" and deserves special mention for it. Lillian Gillam as the daughter and Alice Gorgas as the stenog handle their parts well, as does also Lionel Bancas as the presiding judge and Wade Francis Maves, as Yates the barrister, adds a touch of comedy to the play and at the same time shows a logical knowledge of things legal. "Common Clay" is a fine drama and is sure to please those who enjoy the story. It is a drama that ill and ill the eyes with tears. It did these things to a capacity house on Monday night and is sure to do the same during the remainder of the week. The Grand Tim Owsley & Co. in a great force called "Twenty Minutes in Hell" is the big feature here this week. Andrew George here Day, Vela Stewart, Tda George Elk, Vela Stewart, and cast and the fun is fast and furious from start to finish, there being lots of clean comedy as well as a display of dramatic work which is impressive.

There are several musical numbers introduced by the versatile group and as a headlined attraction this is sure worth seeing. It will be held over for the entire week. Tim Martini and Florenz in a jugging and city of high grade. They are followed by Izetta, the dynamic accordionist and singer, who is always welcome to Grand audiences.

Minus and Bryant were the added week and rained a world of popularity with their changed offering. The act is a fine one and is sure to be heard from in fast company in the near future. Over the past several popular during the full week and the last half also had Senator Murphy, the eccentric monologist, who did not do as with the folks in front as he usually does. Senator seems to be running out of gas. The Monogram Sweet-voiced Fannie Wise is playing a return engagement here and is part of a fine bill. Mrs Fannie is as handsome and as popular as ever, and is introducing several new song numbers in some of those which the patronage of this company uses at each of her visits. Ross & Ross, a good singing, talking and dancing act, are very well liked. They have a fine act that is above the ordinary and know what to do with what they have to offer. The Arrants, who have been the stars of them from the start. A trombone is used in this act and lends a "different" effect to the clever team's work. Joyner and Hunter, late of the Bruce and Bruce Stock company, have something better than the usual male team offer, and the new line of the singing is far more fun than the old and as a whole they can be said to balance well with the rest of one of the best bills seen here for a long time.

Fox special feature, is announced as the attraction at the States theater for the present week. It comes on a special permit, for adults only, and tells a remarkable story. Rich and respected, John Langdon护妻 life and baby for his business and his husband. A public club disnounces this as cruelty and Langdon goes home, where he finds his wife in the arms of Stanley Merrill, an old sutor. Guiltless of wrong, Mrs. Langdon is panic-stricken and falls to explain that Merrill had called on her and chided her about the way her husband had neglected her and had called her close with him. Although she spurned Merrill, he had taken her in his arms just as the husband entered. In an effort to have Merrill return and explain Mrs. Langdon goes to his apartment and is followed by her husband. A divorce is the result, the husband keeping the infant child. Ed. Hofmann, a lawyer, makes but a poor defense, the wife. Years later the daughter marries the district attorney, Bruce Livingston. His political opponent is Robert White, a politician of low order. White is acutely aware that set followers in a notorious resort, hepted by a woman named Claire. One of his men is Edward Hopkins. In an effort to defeat the district attorney, White is anxious to unearth the secrets of the court. Hopkins recognizes the keeper of the records his old client of the divorce court. Later he sees the district attorney, his young wife and the latter's father out driving. The father, Hopkins realizes the former husband of Claire and the officer, the district attorney is her daughter. Bent on blackmail and political advantage, Hopkins goes to the young wife of the district attorney and tells her who her mother is. She will not believe him and goes to the disreputable place to face Claire. Claire, her sister is uppermost, denies the truth of Hopkins' claim of losing outside the door and enters as Claire draws a revolver. At this moment the police are heard breaking into the place on orders of the district attorney. Hopkins struggles with the resort keeper, a shot is fired and he flees. "The district attorney receives the shocking news that his young wife has been taken in the raid, and when no explanations are made by mother or daughter he resorts to the divorce court. Divorce having sent her to degradation, the mother determines to save her daughter and takes the stand. She tells the whole story and tells why her daughter had come to her house. She then turns to the judge, who is Mary Merill, her former suitor, and says: "And there sits the moral coward who might have saved me from all this." The district attorney and his wife are united. The mother, broken and ill, does not live to stand trial for the death of Hopkins. THEDA RARA At the States theater the last half next week Miss Theda Eara, the eminent Wm.

Hamilton of the Jack Norworth company, now playing a long date in the loop, was a caller at the "Blindness of Divorce" "Easy divorce is a hone to any nation, a curse to society, a menace to the home, an incitement to married unhappiness and to immorality; an evil thing for men and a still more useless thing for women."—Theodore Roosevelt Recognizing the divorce evil as far back as 1905, Theodore Roosevelt, who more than any other President has been an exponent of the sanctity of the home, directed the census bureau to collect statistics on marriage and race. In his message to congress advancing this, President Roosevelt said: "The institution of marriage is, of course, at the very foundation of our social organization. There is a widespread conviction that the divorce laws have been enacted to it and indifferently administered, resulting in diminishing regard for the Sanctity of the marriage relation." The result of this work by the census bureau was that more divorces are granted in the United States than in the United Kingdom, with the possible exception of Japan. The divorce cell is graphically shown in the Wm. Fox photo drama of today, "The Blindness of Divorce", which is the attraction at the Pickford theater on this coming Sunday, May 26th. Don't miss it.

THE SOUL OF BUDDHA WILLIAM FOX PRODUCTION BACK AGAIN! CHICAGO'S OWN BILLY KING —THE— Funniest Man in Vaudeville AND AN ALL-STAR COMPANY NEW SONGS NEW SHOWS NEW SCENERY AN INDEFINITE RUN Beginning Monday, May 27 GRAND THEATER 31ST AND STATE STS. "Damaged Goods" "Damaged Goods" Great Drama Will Be Played by the Lafayette Theatre, Next Week There is no uncleanness in facts. The uncleanness is in the glamour, in the secret imagination. It is in hints, half-truths, and suggestions; the threat to life lies. This play puts the horrible truth in so living a way, with the mind impressed that the mind is impressed as it could possibly be impressed in no other way. Best of all, it is the physician who dominates the action. There is no sentimentizing. There is no weak and morbid handling of the theme. The doctor appears in his ideal function, as he writes with truth. Around him write the victims of ignorance and the criminals of conventional cruelty. Kind, stern, high-minded, clear-headed, yet humanized, he towers over all as the master. This is as it should be. The man to say the word to save the lives of ignorant wretches, cursed by the clouds and darkness a misaken modesty has thrown around a life and death instinct, is the physician. The only question is this: Is this play decent? My answer is that it is the deceptive play that has been seen in Chicago in deceit. It is so deceptant that it is religious. The play is, above all, a powerful plea for the tearing away of the veil of mystery that has so universally shrouded this subject of the penalty of sexual immorality. It is a plea for the theres and mothers, young men and young women, may know the terrible price that must be paid, not only by the generation that violates the law, but by the generations to come. It is a serious question just how the education of young men and young women in the vital question of sex relationship should be carried on. One thing is sure, however, the worst possible way is the one which has been so often followed in the past—not to carry it on at all, but to ignore it. See this play. There is a reason.

Always mention the Defender when writing to advertisere SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1918 Placed at End of Parade Junior Red Cross Committee Follows Old Custom of City = Race Haa Allways Been Shown Little Courtesy - N. A. A. C. in Protest By J. M. Batchman St. Louis, Mo. May 24. - Prejudice is unnatural; it is due to ignorance and is the product of deceit; it wekens its fault in the way we treat others. It is more harmful in these times of stress, when every loyal American is doing his utmost to further the cause of peace and prosperity, propaganda which has been let loose since the war began. We Americans, if we are to get the maximum effort out of our complex citizenship must be unreservedly for every man who is willing to do his bit and set in the background every man and woman who thinks that we are not 100 per cent American citizens, until they have taken an intensive course in loyalty which is above showing prejudice, that no support may be given, which is sustaining our boys in France. The Inspirational Inaugural Junior Red Cross Parade was under the perseverance of Spencer George Platt Knox and Chester all, white. According to one of the daily papers the "Grummar school pupil" wrote in alphabetical order of the schools, "the school neared the lagoon, and the schools down to the letter L. were matched to the grouped in the letters (Red Cross, Red Crown, the printer on the same account says). "The faculty and pupils of Summer High school let the Negro division. My contention is that the students' friendship the kind that will make this school to the Germans what Sherman said it was, admits of no racial distinctions, is camped out; the principles upon which Sherman said it was founded are the noblest on earth and reach the heart of man quickest up to them and banish the great Ego. Let us be all for one and one for all. TURPIN SEEKS RE-ELECTION Legally Present Constable of Fourth Congress in Primary Race in Primary Race by Deputy By a Staff Correspondent St. Louis, Mo., May 24—Charles Purple, pastor of the Bishop's presbyterian theater, one of the most prominent and progressive men in the West, and one who holds the peculiar distinction of being elected to the office of Constable of the Fourth Constabulary District, after a spirited contest, by Judge Rassler, the chief judge of the final indictment which would give him his seat, has declared for the office as predicted by the Defender of the Constitution, that he would sit at that time that it would absolutely necessary to eliminate contests for the places desired, if the judge had secured the entry of a second con- testant in a previous election, resulted in a voting condition which robbed the place of the office at the present time. He was a Republican party in this city. Mr John J. Edwards, who was Mr. Turpkin's deputy, is the other aspirant. In 1992, he was appointed Mr. Turner who was Turpkin's opponent, which caused dissension and a condition which brought on the conspiracy. It is my opinion it is unwise to have more than one candidate at this time. It is probable that there will be only one candidate for the office of justice of the Peckey, and that Homer G. Phillips. He has been strongly urged by his friends to make of him a candidate and there is much promise of success. He is also one of many rosey chances for the Race, but too many entries are to be feared. It is true, every one has the right to aspire, but not expedient to exercise it at this time. Too Much Camel's Milk Too Much Camel's Milk Famous Mason Goes Into Trance After a fierce lockout in Lacuna Fluid There was great excitement at the nonappearance of Noble Robert B. Ellington at the Arabic Temple May hall, held at Unity hall on Monday night. Those who had a knowledge of the popular member's activity toward successful management of the affair were at a loss to explain his absence. The committee sent for a Defender trailing expert, who was put on the track of the missing member. It was boarding a north bound Indiana car, Route 1, at 8:30; he fell fast asleep and rodeight by the hull, across town and to the Evanston terminal of the train, boarding a street car conductor, who told him that they would have to charge for a night's lodging, as the car was to stay on the barns, at the Ellington then, was to board the street terminal. By this time the clock was running for Route 1 car and started for the South Side again; for the second time he fell asleep, and never woke up until he had returned to the avenue, and made a flying leap for the south bound car, he paid his fare and stood up on the front platform, determined to remain awake at all hazes. By an unfortunate mistake he had met the train arriving at the stand of an Indiana avenue car, and never noticed it until he had reached the corner of Mst and the Grove. From there he met the hall at 31st and Indiana arriving at bid the Januaror good night as the latter was looking up the premises, all the "brathers" having had their fun with their ladies gone home. The trail was down a dowsy memorial white panties, pink hose, red fez and a full dress coat. The Defender man cornered Mr. the entrance of the Avenue theater and elicited the following explanation: "You see, it was just like this: I bought a 40 gallon can of camel's milk to fresh from a set of select humpsys that I supply to select humpsys and for the life of me I couldn't help imbibing of it every time I supply came through the hands of T.M. F. Coley and Henry Sterrett, and from the effect which it had upon me of the opinion that they deceived it. My affection me in this manner before." This explanation seemed a satisfactory and will be turned over in the "Trilogy" to the toe at the next meeting. In the meantime, Mr. Ellington has promised to from imbibing of the camel extract from the to secure a complete analysis of the same.

Two Leading Candidates For United States Senator A Brief But Accurate Statement of Thair Public Political Career. William Hale Thompson Hon. William Hale hampson Hon. William Hale hampson president mayor of Chicago, serving his first term as such, and is now in the fourth year of his term. Mr. Thompson has been in politics for a number of years, but never was in position before to do anything. He has acted on being elected mayor was the appointment of ex-Commissioner Edward W. Wright to the position of assistant corporation counsel, carying the salary of $5,000 a year; Louis B. Anderson, a second ward, to a position of assistant corporation counsel at $3,000 a year; Dr. A. J. Carey, pastor of Institutional church, a position as investigator in the salary of $2,250 per annum, and numerous other minor positions ranging from $800 to $1,600 per annum. His attitude on public questions affecting our group and their rights admits of neither dissatisfaction nor as clear as the noonday's sun. He stands for democracy for all races. Medill McGormick Hon. Medill McCormick, congressman-at-large, has had a limited career in politics. He is a member of the Chicago City Council, and activity politically was during the Merriam candidacy for mayor, after which time he was elected a member of the Illinois legislature, serving one term. He was also involved in helping the time that the effort was being made to secure the fifteenth anniversary celebration, or. in other words, the half-century celebration of Nero free-freedom to aid in the securing of the $30,000 given by the legislature of Illinois for the occasion. His activities were sincere and genuine. His influence to aid the Chicago Tribune, a paper whose attitude at times appears to be directly opposed to the best interests of our group, in that our virtues are obscured and our views are distorted. That Mr. McCormick has turned his attention to politics, if he succeeds, may cause him to view us and our struggle through different optics. This is what that can be said of Mr. McCormick. WHITE MAN.CREATES TROUBLE ON MEMPHIS STREET CAR Memphis street car, known white man riding on a suburban South Memphis street car, imbued with Race prejudice, snatched a member of our Race out of his seat, to which he was justly entitled by reason of having pals fire and proceeded to murder his mate, then abused man objected, but was double-trained by several white men and violently thrown from the car.

WE ADVISE YOU TO BUY ELBERFELD CHEMICAL COMPANY'S STOCK NOW FOR BIG PROFITS Because you will share in the profits of an enterprise that will manufacture over 125 SEPARATE PRODUCTS, for which there is a large, ever increasing market, constantly repeating orders for goods on which there is a positive profit of from 100 to 300 PER CENT. There are 600,000 STORES in the United States in which Sanspar, of which we are the manufacturers, can be sold.

The above figures for 100,000 stores at 5 cans per week would mean an output of 21,050 tons a year. The company owns enough raw material to take care of this output for the next 50 years, and can purchase fifty times this amount for a very small figure, as it is only by the Elberfeld Process that Sanspar can be made.

Captain Hollingworth telegraphed and made several attempts to explain the situation to you, but without success. There is but little I can add in a letter to clear up the situation that will make you feel better. For the present and until you can see Captain Hollingworth or myself, all I can say is that orders from the highest camp authorities prevented our coming. I am afraid that the military situation will not give us another opportunity to accept your offer. I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for your most generous and sportsmanship treatment of our team and our men fortunate enough to meet you. Hoping that you will realize that we are gin no way responsible for the broken engagement and that you are ready to pay any expense which you were put for for making arrangements for this game and will meet the requirements of our contract in the same generosity which you displayed on the occasion of the preceding Sunday.

Thousands of fans were disappointed over the nonappearance of the 1930 brigade at the American Giants park Sunday. Many demanded their money be returned, which was given them at the mere asking. Manager Rube Foster regretted the affair more than anyone else. The writer, being familiar with the dealings for the game, knows that he was told to understand clearly the reason why the best Ends were substituted. Foster became interested in the soldiers and their needs following a letter from Captain Omers (white), director of the military, who told of the needs of our boys, who had few friends and little money, while the whites had everything their hearts could desire. That our boys might have few friends among the whites, but plenty among their own Race, Foster told Omers so and also informed the army officer that he did not know our boys enough to make such a statement. As a result Foster agreed to bring the boys here and help raise the money for their fund, and on the first Sunday they were to play the game had to be on account of rain and cold weather. The writer witnessed the management of the American Giants pay their team $80,000 more than captain Gomes, and agreed to let them come in for case of rain. They asked for a return book, and Gomes being their only chance to play here, poeted to break camp. Foster got busy, went to Peoria, where he was under New York, May 21. C.

Mr. Andrew Rube Foster, 3242 Vernon Ave. Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Dear My Foster: By Mister Fan HILL STARS IN Pittsburg Stars PRINSON TEAMS BATTLE + AN14 contract to play Saturday and Sunday, and asked Manager Johnson to cancel the Sunday game in Chicago in order the (Foster) might book the soldiers. Manager Johnson agreed to this, providing that Foster send the American Giants to Pooria for the past Saturday, and sending the entire club down for Saturday and to leave Grant, Dixon, Duncan, Barber, Whitworth and Francis and add four other players and would use them to play against the ones they knew the conditions, once have kicked bad Foster gotten a club of ladies to play against the soldiers; at the people wanted was a chance to have the organization as citizens to the 134th brigade. On Tuesday Foster saw in the papers that the brigade would move inside of a week. He immediately took a train to Wednesday to Camp Grant and was assured that he would leave, they would allow the band and the players to play the game. Foster returned to Chicago and on Friday he received a letter from Capitol General Barmum desired the money solicited to be added to the funds for equipping the men with baseball supplies. That night (Friday) one of the boys and the band is at Rockford, wrote and told her that they would not return to leave Sunday. Foster, as he was leaving Saturday morning, called General Barmum up over long distance and told him that he would not return before Sunday morning, relating what he had heard and that he wanted to be assured that the boys and band would show up, as he was disappointed or to leave the park already assured Foster that they would be in. Foster left for Peoria Saturday. On his arrival there Saturday afternoon, he told the message from Chicago telling him that they would be in, and it was a mere accident that he got the message. Foster had to take the next train back and leave his men to Chicago, as planned, and come to West Ends to play the game Sunday. Then he had to get up men to the West Ends. Foster got busy with the papers and gave notice to all the officers officers would not be in, but the West Ends would be here and play. He also gave many dollars back to people who only wanted a look at the team, that they would come, even ignoring that they would come to over one person more, which in all truth they would have played to $300 more, they would have received over $100 more, they would have collected, which was $1247, taken up by Dr. George Hall and her girl aids, would have been tripped. The soldiers should leave without the necessary things, they cannot blame the Race loving people of Chicago, whom Foster and the bank, especially Mrs. Dr. Hall and the young ladies who solicited for the boys.

Tyler Special Correspondence The committee has already greatly assisted some of the dependents of those Colored soldiers of the 24th U. S. regiment who met that tragic end at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, last December, even to Colored soldiers now in the service, but to continue this relief work it must have the hearty, enthusiastic co-operation of the Race in every city and town in the country. ```markdown ``` pold of eggs and olive oil, best for shampooing.

Va., and many other cities and towns have done vehicle work, while the Colored people have been helping the masse to help along the fund that is to provide relief for needy dependents of our Colored soldiers. Colored K. of Fellows, Masonic and Elk lodges in the number of cities have sent in contributions. Too much credit cannot be given to the Colored women of the country; the ones who first hear sorrow's call and respond to necessity's appeal, for they are the ones who help raise funds. A gratifying thing about the movement is the way the common people—they who are the ones of the earth—are responding. These in turn have helped to give wide relief for dependents of Colored soldiers, have proven that after all it is the so-called "common people" upon whom we must rely for support of any movement. Indiana, Arkansas, New York and Indiana have been moved in the amount of contributions, but the other states are catching the spirit and are beginning to contribute their mite for the dependents of Colored soldiers. We must "over there" in France. This war means more for the Colored so than any other class in this comma. The Colored soldiers, because of reliance on their sorrow and need, organizations the Race has been forced to endure, are making the greatest sacrifice; and the Race, in order to encourage these brave men at the front, by applauding and sorrowing their slogan: "Service and sacrifice." C. C. Spandling, general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Providence Compound, wrote: "It should be the responsibility of the active campaigning for it will be but a short time until the $200,000 fund is raised which will enable the committee to respond promptly to the organization of any race or class was ever so economically managed as the National Colored Soldiers' Compound, of which fact the organization of all such looks after such war activities, has been advised. If you desire to encourage our boys "over there," and our boys over here, thousands of whom are blood and lives, you will at once start to organizing your friends to help raise funds to provide relief for the nearly dependents of Colored soldiers to make the world safe for democracy and this democracy safe for you. Every Colored man and woman has an opportunity now to help our black families to help sustain their loved dependents left behind. It is a duty—a sacred duty we all owe, and should perform, if we expect to longer boast of Race loyalty to own the National Colored Soldiers' Compound has no salaried officers—Advertisement, Simmons Speaks in Ohio (From the Zanesville O. (O.) Daily Times-Recorder, May 21, 1918.) "Simmons is one of the greatest one of his own Race, but of the country. "His speech showed in him the soul of the poet and the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. He spoke long on Booker W. Washington, the greatest Colored man this nation has produced, and of Abraham Lincoln, saying both were born slaves of poverty." Zanesville, O. May 24.—One of the greatest days in the history of Ohio and the greatest day in the history of the Race in these parts was Monday, December 16, 1918. Americans came and captured this city and then gave it back to a united people. In Memorial hall he spoke before one of the largest audiences ever assembled at the University of Illinois, the largest gathering of Race people ever seen here and 500 of the wealthiest and most progressive white people joined in the demonstration. Few men have been paid a finer tribute anywhere. "Belongs to the World" Col. Simmons was welcomed to the city by Mayor D. J. Evans. He was introduced by Judge H. C. Smith, disbanded among the public men of Ohio. "I do not present a Negro," said Judge Smith. "I do not present a citizen of Kentucky for the man is no longer a citizen of Kentucky for the man is no longer a citizen of Ohio. I present to as great an audience as this city ever saw one among the mightiest American figures of his generation. Roscoe Corkling Simmons." Two hours, putting up a plea not only for Americanism, but for his Race right to the tree of life "heras well as hercaster." Ohio, he said; Ohio, home of the underground railroad of Grant, the wizard of the battlefield; of McKinley, the Good; of Sherman, of the blue and of the first figure in the history of the United States; of seph Benson Foraker. I repent to their friends and children that my Race has kept the faith, fought the right of liberty against slavery and slavery and side with the American wite man." While his own Race was beside themselves with pride, a Secretary Giger of the chamber of commerce remarked, the white people put aside and went in for the unchecked hand of pledge. It was their night also. Great Paradi Before the meeting the streets of the city were crowded with sectarians who witnessed a unique and inspiring paerfect Cheers greeted Col. Simmons all the way. Led by a brass band that played real music, the Race was out in numbers. And not only the Race. Col. Simmons rode in rhinch seatings of Evans, Judge H. C. Smith and Rev. D. M. Thomas. In another carriage were Fred Giger, secretary to the chamber of commerce, Dr. Ira Cillins and representative white bushes men. The master of ceremonies, while on of the finest choruses ever gotten together, led by Charles Green, sang the songs in a way that lifted the adience to the audience. The informer, noted music teacher, was at the center. On the platform we lead white citizens, including Judge Smith, Mayor Evans, Judge C. C. Semert, Anson Mark, Guy C. Ferguson and Emanuel Koch, which white people were in the audience. Col. Simmons was brought to the city by that noble band of race women, the Women's Study club, Irs. S.

TO BE PRESENTED BY SPEAKERS Announcement Made Through Office of Emmett Scott Purpose and Women's Affairs Washington, D. C., May 24.—Through the office of Emmett J. Scott, special counsel in the war department, announced that the war department and the speaking division of the committee on public information, record-keeping, importance of enlightening public opinion is underway. The government, have decided to appoint a special committee of speakers, Colored Americans, who shall, as opposed offers, seek to create and mobilize public opinion which shall back up the government in the prosecution of the war. As has been stated, the issue of this struggle depends to a large extent on the way public opinion in the United States is directed and directed. It is indeed only through the efforts of enlightened and enthusiastic Americans that the full strength of the nation can be exerted, that vicious and righteous cause, and that America can achieve things for which she entered this conflict. Upon the leaders of our public opinion therefore rests a responsibility heavier than perhaps ever rested upon the leaders of our nation's industry. It is a task which can be performed only by men and women who themselves are well informed and who co-operate, with all patriotic organizations, to carry out the tasks which are unifying public opinion in support of the national purpose. The following gentlemen, who are representative of thought and opinion, have been requested by the war de- pressor to the committee on public information to render the services above indicated: LIST OF SPEAKERS DR.

PAGE TWELVE By Betsey Lane The attention of the Chicago Defender has been repeatedly called to the sloveness of many of our newcomers and some of our old ones (as far as this is concerned), and we have called the attention of our readers to the same facts. We have carefully looked into the situation and find that it has become so alarming that it hurts the Justice, the Chicago Defender has declared war on bouillon caps, aprons and overalls in the street. The pastors of the various churches miss call the church cap one gesture in this cell. We are not in the southland and there is no mark of servitude that must be placed on a man or woman of color in these climes. It is not necessary that when you go downstreet to wear either a white or gingham apron in order that the clothing is right (and it must stop) that women of our Race get on street cars, go to grocery stores and shop in thoroughfares in caps that were meant to wear around the house in the morning. It is not only disgusting to see very vague and shows lack of breeding. We are also sorry to say that since the warm weather has struck this city that some of our women insist on going into the street with a thin calico coat, but we are not the leastsemblance of an undersirt. As a result she makes herself the target of grocery and store clerks, who take it upon themselves to make advances. Any woman who has one spark of womanhood in her will never be seen on the street. Neither will they disdrace the neighborhood by laughing three-fourths of the way out of the window, shouting at friends or acquaintances passing by. Many of this class are men who sit in their undershirts and women who sit in their overalls, another of the ugly evils which seems to be gradually getting a hold on some of the Chicago folks, especially in the Second ward. This doesn't mean State nor Deauville street alone—no, not for a minute, because our reporters have on such streets as Forest, Calumet, Thames and Vernon avenues. Men going to and from work, especially the Stock Yards, must realize that it is very offensive to sit in the street car beside one who has spent nightight been told around the car and might have been told much better that it is just as easy and much better to have changed his overalls before leaving work. It is no disgrace to carry them wrapped up in a neat little bundle. Newcomers must learn that there are thousands and thousands of people in this big city that do hard work and look neat going to and from their work. It is not necessary for plasterers and bricklayers to get in the street cars and brush up and sit down beside nearly dressed women in their work clothes. They must go to our office this week and showed us a new dress that had been ruined by a young fellow who had been working around some grease and who had seated himself not beside her, but nearly on her, without excusing himself. This means she must take her dress to work while this fellow (moral criminal) goes along in this world unintended. Another evil which seems to be gradually getting a hold on some people here is the way they speak to the street car employees. As a matter of course they are public servants, but you don't know how they push doesn't ring all the time and they are not always in the wrong. One can just as well say "transfer, please," and be more polite than by saying "give me a transfer," or, as the writer often hears, "come on, man, give me a transfer," or even this, "give me a transfer; you're spotted to give every one one." Now last but not least, they all pull together for the sake of public decency, and let ministers, club workers, and social workers get busy and break up these evils. They are a detriment to the Race. Stop them. Stop the Race. Stop them. Stop them. Stop the young men of questionable character on the street corners, who don't even show them the courtesy of raising their hats as they pass. Stop the young miss who chatters like a parrot during a lecture or a program. By doing this you not only help the Race, but all humanity. ROCHESTER MISSES' ENTERTAIN Rechester, N.

THE WOMAN'S PAGE Calumet Ave. Chicago, Ill. Dear Madam: One of our investigators reports to us that you allow some of your roomers to come out on your front porch and steps in their cooking aprons, unclean and untidy in appearance. Your neighborhood is a good one and will remain so if each individual does his or her part. One will reflect on all, and it will soon get the reputation of going down, which will cheapen it and the property. We are asking you to keep up your front yard in every respect. We are sorry, indeed, to say that before the neighborhood changed the hucksters used the alleys and not the streets, but the neighbors encourage this change, which makes the neighborhood common, although under Section 2008 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, loud noises and calling out of wares to sell are prohibited.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER MEXICO OFFERS LAND TO MEMBERS OF RACE MEXICO OFFERS LAND TO MEMBERS OF RACE Great Development Planned for Lower California Los Angeles, Cal., May 24.—An exodus into Mexico with the prospect of developing one of the most fertile farming and richest mining districts of that country is looming up before the Race. Rumors that the Mexicans, who have always been friendly, have planned to extend a hand of welcome to the dark brother of this country have been based for some time. California is littered by the suggestion and hundreds of the Race are planning to invade the southern republic a few miles below San Diego. A corporation has been formed with the consent of both American and Mexican officials. No revelation. The Defender travelling representative investigated the story and was amazed to find that the organization that lande aggregating 25,000 acres had been secured. A corporation composed of some of California's most prominent citizens has been formed to gather information about the organization which will direct the development of the colony. "Are you not afraid of the revolutionary discontent man asked Attorney Hugh E. Defender one of the leaders in the movement. "No," was the reply. There has never been any trouble in Lower Californië, where section 1304 asks you will note if you will glance at geography is a peninsula extending southward from California in the southeastern United States one thousand miles, with a width of about 100 miles, arrating it from the mainland, where Villa and others have operated. The people on this peninsula are independent and immediate rule of Governor Estabana Castro. The trry is so well protected by its isolation and by mountains which shelter it from that it is said it could be held by a hailful against a great army of invaders. Governor Cantu Speaks Governor Cantu, who represents the Mexican government, is intensely interested in "this new movement." The Mexicans "have a strong sense of enmity with the speculators and professionals from other nations who have brought Mexico to plumber and despair of nothing in return. We will welcome citizens of the type of the Race men American and will come to dwell with them and draw their attention. The riches of Mexico are beyond the average man's imagination. The Mexican laborer has not taken advantage of the labor that the people are builders, which Lower California needs more than anything else. We welcome the advent of the people who have given to the great South all that it has in wealth and industry." He assured the committee of Colored citizens that the Race people interested in the colony that Mexico welcomed them. He extended the use of his palatial influence, and finally aided them in every way possible. Committee Reports The committee, which is composed of well-known Race citizens of California, bring back glowing reports of the lives of the men who have the Promised Land." The bring has delighted accounts of small rich valleys, yielding in grain, hogs, cattle, chickens, turkeys, fruit, milk and honey in great abundance. They tell the story of the many metalains in commercial and precious metals and gems. They tell of the abundant and rich fisheries which hug the long stretches of coast line and the pearl-bearing sterns to be found in California. And finally they tell of the cordial welcome extended our people by the native Mexicans. "At last," they tell their report, "there has been found and the American Negro is welcome." Farmers and Investors The corporation is particularly desirous of interesting farmers and mechanics of every kind. They state that even the laboring man who is working in the fields can obtain one of these farms and in a comparatively short time attain wealth and affluence, the meanwhile living in HERE MAN IS A MAN IN SPITE OF THE GOOD SKIN." "Our proposition offers an unusual opportunity," said President Troy, "to the investor or capitalist who wishes to embrace the great oppor-tunity of making which the development of the resources of this rich section offers. Plan of Development U. S. Officials Approve Mexican and Latin American affairs have long been a thorn in the side of the United States. The State Department has been most courteous in their dealings with the members of the Lower California Mexican Land and Development office in inference is that they have the advent of a new Mexico may create a solution of this vexatious problem. The officers of the corporation are T. Roberts, president; E. Roberts, vice president; E. Walter, secretary, while the directors are J. N. Littlejohn, B. W. Hugh E. Macheth, secretary, while the offices are located at 1123 South street, Los Angeles, Cal., and correspondence is invited from Race people everywhere. Any question regarding project will be answered fully and gladly. The board of directors are enthusiastic and declare that "The Dawn of Daybreak has now come for the American Daybreak, and we have seemed forever lost in the long and terrible night of Anglo-Saxon Race antagonism. On to Mexico. And there we have has yet builted and with God's help we build as no man has yet builted." DEATH LIST THE CHARLES L.

What Is Gonorrhea? Gonorshea js not a “cold"—It is more Serlous than any cold: it is not a “strain.” and ft Is not due to any strain or to any Iifting—oh no, It fs not a dls- ease resulting from overwork, Jumping, running. playing ball or tennis, putting up Pullman berths on sleeping cars, nor fs it due to “over-running one self,” as often reported in common par- lance, nor ig ft due to drinking varl- ous alcoholic drinks—nor is it due to a rundown weak system. DEFINITION—The best: authorities tell us that Gonorrhea is a specifi, contagious, catarrhal inflammation of the genital mucous membrane due to a specific micro-erganizm—the gonoco- cus of Neisser, brought about by im- pure sexual congress. But we believe that Gonorrhea can be contracted out: side of the sexual congress act. There can be gonertheal infection of the eyes by using towels or by manipulation of the eyes with dirty hands, by any ma- terial that hae been infected by Gon- orrhea. We have very little faith and put little credence in the statement of bath-house, water closet infection of any portion of the genital tract. Gonorrheal infection, we are told, is marked by pain, fever and a discharge of pus—the disease may he short ot tong in duration. Ite consequences may be vers serious if neglected, of If im- Properly treated: and. on the other hand. it early corrected and. intelli- ently treated, mity pass away: without becoming chronic and (hus causing se- riovs consequences. If neglected nt Improperis treated, its consequences often prove disiressing and direful, lasting for many years; not only handi- capping and crippling the victim who WANTED—REAL LEADERS WANTED—REAL LEADERS, How often ‘has this question forced itself upon the intelligent man and woman. How often has the question been asked. why the real leadership among our people has not been allowed'to assert itself. Chicago is the home of ‘the Colored superman. Here are gathered mon from every section of the country, many of them graduates of some of the best colleges in the land, Yet one never sees or hears of them. If a public meeting is to be held in church or hall, let the occasion be what it may, we see the stage set and held by this “Hon.” Mr, Job Holder and the other Mr. Job Holder, while the real intelligence of the community holds forth out in the audience, Most of these political gentry are men of little education, some of them not having gone beyond the eighth grade in the public schools, They express themselves in shocking English, and, as a rule, are men of small bore ideas, We find them ruling the lodges, desecrating the sacred altars dedicated to the worship of the Almighty, sitting in at banquets, waving the Stars and Stripes at every patriotic meeting. Their one idea seems to be to do something and say something that will reach the ears of their political masters. If they are members of a church, they see to it that the doors of the sacred edifice are thrown open at all times to the political bosses, If they are members of a social club or civic organization of any kind they lie awake nights trying to effect some plan to deliver these organizations to some candidate for office. Chicago has had enough Of this sort of leadership, and what is true of Chicago is true of every other city. Isn't it about time to shove the bogus “honorables” into the discard and give real intelligence a chance to come to the surface? A case in question is that of a recent patriotic demonstration in -one of our large auditoriums, Thousands of our citizens had gathered there to attest by their presence that they were heartily in sympathy with America and all that America stands for in the great world war. Seated upon the stage were a few of Chicago’s representative citizens, but occuping nearly every vantage point were the members of a certain political group, Jobholders and ward heelers were everywhere in evi~ dence, while standing along the side lines and occupying modest places in the audience were many of the real strong men in the life of Chicago, The reason for this state of affairs lies with the citizens who permit themselves to be delivered hand and foot by political misfits. There is No reason why every gathering, be it social, religious or what not, should be dominated by political hirelings, In former years it was the custom of the white press when seeking information on any matter of interest to interview the gambler or some prominent saloon man, Men of this class were supposed to represent the highest level of oe among our people, Nowadays one hears only from the politician, It is about time for some organized effort among us to stir up a sentiment in favor of bringing to the fore only men and women of real character’ and education, German Subjects in the Park nA Vanue idea of whae chow ee ene Of Germany's fighting farce have more than a vague idea of what they are really Ashting for, oF what will he theirs after this great conflict is over.
