Southern Newspaper Raises Fund to Place Ban on Lynching THE GREATEST WAR PICTURE EVER PUBLISHED CHARGE OF THE COLORED DIVISIONS "SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE" READ AD ON PAGE SEVEN TOUISSANT STUDIOS, 451 Lenox Ave., New York City San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 16.—The attitude of the publishers of the San Antonio Express, a white local newspaper, in setting aside a fund of $100,000 to be used for the purpose of ferreting out and combating the crime of lynching in this country, should receive an honored place among valiant deeds ascribed to the credit of those who seek to enhance their country's glory. Effect to Be Far Reaching It is evident that those who constitute this organization observe the far reaching effect upon the stability and morality of our government by reason of these wholesome crimes. It is important to understand all this, they had the ample means and the willingness, fortified by the moral courage, to act in a crisis such as has threatened our own democracy. It is important to regard the hope that in our efforts to establish democracy in foreign countries that we will arm ourselves against the possibility of the criticism of those whose habits have been weakened to change. It is to be hoped that we conduct of this organization in the establishment of this foundation for the perpetuation of stable government will be simulated by other powerful agencies. In the future of our country. Unfortunate, of course is the fact that conditions necessitate such decisive actions. Fortunate, however, is the furthest whose sense of morals and whose ideas of justice and honor, and who regard the safety of their country as being essential to the life of democracy.

DISLOYAL REMARKS LANDS MAN BEHIND THE the fight to dethrone "Judge Lynch and his jury of bloodthirsty riots in their attack on democracy and blow at our morale on democracy." A view of the fact that Texas has a record of Texas in unsavvy record of law violations, public sentiment has arrayed its entire strength against the poisoned fang of those who destroy the first principles of democracy. The white Texans have infinitely more harm is done and a greater crime is committed against our boasted civilization and our high claim for the world's greatest people, and we have been committed the reins of law than against the victim of their brutality and mental depravity. The anti-lynching fund will be applied in the following manner: How Fund Will Be Used "A reward of $500 will be paid to each person who shall be directly responsible for the arrest, with subsequent payment of the reward. Any person or persons who were instrumental in arousing a mob to commit a lynching, or in putting through the lynching itself, when the individual was arrested, with the reward of $1,000 will be paid in such cases when the victim of the lynching was a Negro. The difference in amounts of reward, as between the lynching of Negroes and others, is due to the fact that the lynching of Negroes as their victims. Therefore the larger reward and the more stringent measures should be applied to the more prolific phase of this evil. This offer of reward will be made to all persons, whether officers of the law or private citizens." The San Antonio Express antllynching fund is the first response to President Wilson's appeal for the preservation of law and order. Hurls Wife to Pavement Philadelphia, Pa.

Wilson Ask Mississippi Voters to Oust Vardaman --- SATURDAY Somewhere in France, July 20. My Dear Frank Gibbses: I don't believe I received a reply to my last letter written to you from Houston, but you are one of my old friends that I can't forget; but I don't need to dwell upon that, for you are fully aware of that fact. I have passed through some very interesting experiences since leaving the United States on April 6 on the U.S. S. President Grant, along with 6,000 others. We had an uneventful trip, very little seasickness and encountering no submarines. I had the pleasure of having my stateroom occupied by Capt Braddon, our chapel, who slept all day and sang and prayed all night and called me every hour or two so that I wouldn't sleep too soundly and not hear the alarm for "Abandon ship drill." Lands at Napoleon's Barracks We landed at Brest on April 22, and after a rest of two days at the old Pontoneon barracks of Napoleon we shot across the country to the little town of Grandvillar, down near the Swiss border. We were assigned the last sector up to the Swiss border, but just as we were about to march in the sex night the plans were changed and we were sent up to the sector of St. Mihiel. Our Grandvillar wore a joyful, too much cannot be said of the hospitality of country to the little town of Grandvillar, down near the Swiss border. We were assigned the last sector up to the Swiss border, but just as we were about to march in the next night the plans were changed and we were sent up to the sector of St. Mikhail Ourstuy in Grandvillar who most enjoyable. "Joo much cannot be said of the hospitality of those people and I am glad to say our boys behaved themselves most beautifully, and none of us ever will forget Grandvillars. The people from Morbellars and other near-by towns came over for our Sunday band concerts. Troops Billleted in City The people in France adhere to an old custom or because they like the community spirit; anyway there are no farm houses, but little towns every year. The people in France work the farms and return to their homes at night. Their houses accommodate not only the family, but the horses, cows, pigs and chickens, the animals that are at their stables and homes are at same roofs, only having separate doors. The troops are usually billeted in the towns. The men sleep in the haylofts and the houses are given the best rooms in the town, and the government pays so much a day. In Trenchea of St. Mihiel Our service in the trenches opposite St. Mihiel was of short duration. It is a very quiet sector and we were there for training purposes and had no other duty. St. Mihiel is a French town held by the Germans. The French do not want to take it because the sacrifice of life will be made from our observatory stations we could paint in the streets and with powerful glasses recognitions could be made, the story is told of a French officer who was a German officer and a house with a German officer and a him good by. The story goes on to say that the French officer fainted. Country Called "La Belle France" I can't begin to describe this beauti Jackson, Miss., Aug. 16.—President Wilson, in a letter to Myron McNeill, an attorney at Hazel Hurst, Miss., on record at Hazel Hurst, Miss., on record at the voters of the state of Missouri, on record of Senator James K. Vardaman to States Senate. This is another evidence that gives the people of the country to believe that the President of the United States firmly believes in the spirit of the nation, as we a nation are contending. It is known that Senator Vardaman and his kind have transcended all bounds of honor and respectability in his effort to demoralize the hopes, ambitions and desires of the people. Mississippi, whose path of travel seems to run contrary to the best interest of the country, will to some extent retrieve its good name in the eyes of the world if its voters heed instruction and exhortation of the President's letter to Attorney McNeill follows: "Replying to your letter of the 23d of July, let me say that it is always with the utmost hesitation that I vendors the vote of the people to the candidates for election to the Senate or to the House, I feel that it is not from any point of view my privilege to suggest to the voters of a state what their action shall be, and that I am at liberty to speak.

We have made many changes since there, always continuing our training, until now we are ready to give an account of ourselves. Where we are, but the place is famous, where time is famous, time since we left the regions of women and children. We are now in the region of demolished towns, blasted trees and fields of shell holes and trees and barbed wire entanglements. Great Battle Raging This great battle of which you know more about than we do is raging. We are holding the third line trenches in the region of the great batteries and the point where we don't notice them, but seek our dugouts when the enemy shells begin to fall too frequently and too close. One man was injured by a shell explosion yesterday and a few others were injured; our gas masks are never out of reach of the hund and our steel holmets are always worn. * * * I suppose you see Leonard often. I can see you and him now on 36th and State Street, and go to the ball game. The Sox areading the second division and I am afraid we are out of the running.

I do hope our little company is helping this storm of financial distress less" leader. I have great hopes of success, but lately I've been fearful, especially as the meager news that I see from the state is so discouraging. I see from the state is awaiting orders that we just have to go and we take it out on our friends. Really, I hope you will write me a long, "newsy" letter. Let nothing be it for you to tell and I know I'll enjoy it for you to tell and I know things is inimitable. Also be sure and everything about the public life, for you know I want to know. Your friend, MAJ. JAS. R. WHITE. Letter From Col. Denizen Hon. John G. Drennan Atty, L. C. R. R. Chicago, Ill.-My Dear Friend: I have been thinking of home today and my thoughts quickly turned to you. I have nothing to say that would pass the test of the censor, except to remind you that we are here, doing "our bit" as best we can with no complaint to send the folks at home, I think of you often and were I in good position would like nothing better than to tell you how I made that rafting force out of very indifferent material, believing in your theory that these men of mine were just now the warlike period of their development. That is, that in their present stage of development they would make better fighting men than anything else. If my health does not fail me I am quite certain I shall be able to demonstrate your theory. The real work—that of training—is over. Believe me my friend, I am all in. The strain has been too much for one of my age. Never am still on the job and haven't lost any. I have been in bed, but that didn't matter. I worked the same. We are on the move today. Will write you again soon. Your friend, F. A. Denison, Col. 370th Inf., U. S. N. G. Mississippi to Oust Vardaman tion to certain statements made on behalf of Senator Vardaman, in which an effort is made to create the impress-ment of Senator Vardaman, would not regard the return of Senator Vardaman to the Senate as a verdict against him administration. Such statements are calculated to put a very false face upon Senator Vardaman's candidacy. Senator Vardaman has been conspicuous among the Senate for his opposition to the administration. If the voters of Mississippi should again choose him to represent them I not only have no right to object, I would have no right in any way to criticize them. "But I must be obliged to accept their action as a condemnation of their administration, and it is only right that they should know this before they act." President's Advice Headed The President's letter and the power it will have on the regeneration of the South, ably sustained by the unseen moving from power and influence the elements who for fifty years have composed southern autocracy will eventually mark the end of the fit for the sons and daughters of humanity to live. The mighty hand of the grim reaper, is slowly yet firmly the chief of parapering the chafe from the wheat. PAGE TWO THE CHICAGO DEFENDER CHICAGO DEFENDER WEEKLY Founded May 6, 1806, by ROBERT S.

LOUIS ELECTION Special to the Defender by a Staff Correspondent St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 16.—The primaries last week were the lightest in years and the returns were slower to get because of the shortage of election officials to tabulate the results. Riley was nominated for the state legislature in his district without opposition and Charley Turpin won his fight for constable in the Fourth district after a contest in which another aspirant was inserted against the will of the majority of the people. In the vote for constable, Edwards and Turpin are Race men. A comparison of the vote given to them and the vote given to Phillips in the 17th ward shows that our voters did not stand the gaff. In the two precincts of the 18th ward in which Phillips held his own in the vote case, due to the intercession of friends, there were more than enough stay at homes to have made his nomination a success. In 600 voters. The general election in November will see Turpin elected. His nomination is a complete vindication of the triumph of right.

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

Y., Aug. 16—Last week a company宣布 Rapid Transit company amberlybrook had 400 conductors and 800 motormen. The Interborough company in Manhattan announced, through the public service commission, that they were bringing to their inability to get the men (they did not specify white) to man the cars. During the terrific heat of week, the B.C. fell down miserable to the transit company thousands of the poor class who always flock to Coney Island when the weather is unusually hot. The public service commission again gave as an incentive to the shortage of help. Some time ago this office sent a letter to Frank Hedley suggesting the expediency of employing Race help in every capacity on its qualifications for the work selected. We offered to secure the help for the I.R. T. and we expressed our williness and ability to supply them with Race help. We got no reply of any kind to our letter. The Interborough, however, has handed over the delightful job to Race women. Over Brooklyn, joe Joy first began and that is as far as that kind of help has advanced on any of the New York railways. To collect the people of Greater New York to the people of Greater New York to accommodate as that afforded by companies on the grounds of a shortage of labor, without trying out Race people as conductors, motormen, ticket companies as the branch of the service is wrong. The labor would be materially reduced. In the meantime, this paper offers its advertising columns free for one month of these companies should they feel that the labor would be materially reduced.

BOX 36 PAGE FIVE Cikang معهد الموسيقى COLUMBIA GRAFTMOLA NEW YORK CITY TO HELL WITH THE KAISER PAGE 81X Lafayette Stock Company Is Still Popular; Billy King Packs the Grand BOOST And the World Boosts With You. KNOCK And You Knock Alone. The Avenue Alphonse Daudet's great classic, "Sasho," is the present week's offering here by the Lafayette players, and it is unusually well cast and well set. That a Parisian courtesan, after running the gamut of a dozen or more "lovers," embrac ing everything from a leading woman to two to a long-heired poet and then to fall for a young and handsome student, unsophisticated in the ways of the world, is shown in startlingly plain manner. At the time of the occurrence Tony Langston Tony Langston Pannie LeGrande, or "Sapho," is accepting an easy living at the expense of a young engineer, who has committed a series of forgeries in order to the money with which to maintain her. He has been in the field where "Sapho" first meets the young man, Jean, and from then on trouble for them both begins—for him through the righteous objections of his respectable family, and for her—he is notoriety forward to hardworking. That Jean proves so headstrong that the most insistent pleandings have no effect, is just what should be expected; although the pair have a violent quarrel and he dashes nudly from her, her influence upon him is strong enough to bring him to the ultimate finish. There are many other characters of interest in the presentation, which carries, along with the tragic a veneer of comedy well offered, and, while no part of the play can be called light, there are several situations in the most achievable manner. Cleo Desmond again shines forth in the title role, and presents the part in a way that is as artistic as it is convincing; in the scenes where she pleads with Jean Gaussin not to leave her heartstrings, but on Monday night the effect was partly spoiled by a few giggling idiots, both male and female, who have about as much conception of when to bray as a set of jackasses drew Bishop played the opposite lend in his usual class manner; he sure has his troubles in this piece, but the finish comes while he is asleep, which was as gratifying to our outsiders as was easy for the loving "Sapho". Nicole maimed the love of the lotta Freeman, Elizabeth Williams, Irsla Hall, and Vioia Stewart, the latter playing with the company for the first time; she, as Francine, the maid, is a character in the film, lines like a veteran, Lillian Gillam as Fifd did a song number in her own characteristic style in the hall-room scene, taking a couple of well-merited encounters. Arthur Ray as DeChellette character, Fifd as DeChellette, discarded, were right up to their usual high standard, and Charles Moore as Uncle Ce'Saire again showed the finished work of the real artist. Other parts were well handled by Charles McCarthy, Fifd as DeChellette, H L. Pryor and Laina H. Rowley, an added starter. A fine audience was present despite the extreme heat, as it is well known that the avenue has a 70 per cent temperature at all times, and an excellent play well done, and shows the handsome theater long before this hits the reader's eye. Don't miss it. The Grand "At the Beach" is the appropriate hot-weather title of the play offered here the first half by the Billy King Co., and despite the high temperature, the attendance on Monday night was that. While there is but little semblance of a play, it is story enough to permit the famous comedian to pull some of his best stuff, as he is called upon to show great activities among the summer boarders at the big resort at which the piece is built. He essays the part he gets out of it is wonderful. He is assisted by Howard Kelly in the character of a hot-tamale man and James Thomas as Count de Gasoline—the real thing. Bessie Brown makes a dashing appearance as the beach girl, and there are several good song numbers among them being "Scratchin' the Gravel." by Gerty Saunders; "Regretful Blues," by Bessie Brown; "No Darwin was right, all right. But he never graded the degrees of descent. Edgar Rice Burroughs made some attempt at grading in his "Tarzan of the Apes," which will be seen at the States theater on Saturday and Sunday of this week. He runs the gamus this way—drunken sailors, brutal ship officers, slave traders and finally aristocrats. The apes really rank highest. Even the boy brought up by the apes ranks head and shoulders above his elites relative to ones no class lines or national lines, but mutual exploitation among our ancestors. "Tarzan of the Apes" is bully adventure. Wild beasts roam throughout the scenes; a kindly elephant takes the wild man upon his back; in short, mix captain and a slave captain. Baker's African stories and the happy combination is struck. The joy of the film lies in its kindly wild life rather than in civilized brutality. Tarzan, as readers of the story will remember, is the son of Lord Greystone, son of Africa. Mission for the British government. Africa in 1897 was torn by European ravishers, atrocities in the Belgian Congo, Jameson's raid on the Boers, slave trading in its commitment brutal raids. The sailors mutiny, slay their brutal officers in fair light and maroon Lord Greystoke and his wife. A boy is born in the jungle; the mother dies and the boy is carried off by a mother ape. The film traces the growth of the boy—half ape, half human—till his 20th year. A counter-melody is being played in England, where Lord Greystoke's brother assumes the title after marrying a barmalid. Their child is a petted brat. News is brought to them by a barmalid. Bingling, to greystoke estate is alive in Africa. The barmalid aristocrat has Binns incarcerated as a lunatic for ten years, but a vengeful maid servant finally helps him escape. He tells his story to a scientist, a finger-print expert, Bingling, to shepherd with the result that a party is made up to seek Tarzan in his jungle home. Some of the finest bits of action even shown on the screen are in "Tarzan." The fight between the sailors and officers aboard the vessel is an exciting bit of action. Tarzan's struggle with the sailors is a cannibal, are excellent pictures of action. For adventure "Tarzan" surely hits the bull's-eye. Man's Land, by Ernest Whitman, and "I Love the Ladies," by Howard Kelly. Other acts on the bill were Carmen Trio, in plastic poses, Nossman & Bingling, in team formation, Lewin Stake in singing, dancing and talking. The last half last week had the King Co. featuring a piece called "The Chicago Defender." It had a dandy story, with plenty of atmosphere and clean, dry, and was voted as one of the best settings yet presented by the Players. The Monogram "The Four Cuban Athletes," the finest novelty ever seen at this theater, is the big feature this week. The act has been accorded headline honors everywhere that it has shown, and it deserves the feature that it has been given. Fiona McCarthy singing and a great line of gynnasties are presented by the two ladies and two men who constitute the "Four," the apparatus being erected over the audience in the front part of the theater. The audience spellbound at each show on Monday night, and was part of one of the best all around bills seen here in a long time. Golins & Golins and Wells & Wells make up the "Four," which will play to the last show on Monday night. To the new songs, talks and steps are back after a fine absence, and are getting a fine welcome. Annabelle Cook, the female baritone, sings songs in her own inimitable way, and the bill is completed by Jones & Crosby, two fellows who know how to extract laughs; they sing and dancing, singing and dancing offering, and went over from start to finish. Anna Held Passes Away Famous Parisienne Passes Away After Protracted Illness "The announcement that Anna Held had died on Monday occasioned no surprise to readers of things theatrical. The famous star has been reported dead several times during her long illness in a New York hospital. Miss Held was born in Paris, to Ziegfeld Jr. and to them a daughter was born, who is now being educated in a French school. Miss Held was, with the possible exception of Gulbert, the most popular musical of France. She always carried as mould a member of the Race and had the reputation among them of being the acme of kindness. She made her first appearance on stage in 1915 and by storm. It is 1955 that she received the highest salary ever paid a musical comedy star. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER A NOTE OR TWO TO HELL WITH THE KAISER!

This is the most vital of the pictures dealing with the world war. It strips bare the soul of William of Hohenollem, the ally of the king of Prussia, his "Potdam gang," hoped to get possession not only of Europe, but of America. "To Hell With the Kaiser" the final destination of this mad monarch as a relation relating his cruel deeds while on earth. A great cast has been chosen to interpret this great picture, which was directed by George Irving, from the movie *The Lady and the Lion* raped by George Holoster, a war photographer and former war correspondent. Lawrence Grant plays the Kalser, Olive Tell, a beautiful star of the movie, plays the faithful companion of Alla Hoye. Howe does a wonderful bit of work as her sister, Ruth, who meets a tragic fate in a Belgium convent at the hands of the Crow Prince. Trank Currier plays the young Dutch landlady, himself an aviator, plays Winslow Dodge, who is seen in spectacular aeroplane flights which have a strong bearing on the story. The character of the Kalser" has some of the most unusual features ever seen in a photodrome. The closing scenes contain a genuine surprise, combining beauty and forcefulness, and the Kalser is seen in those accursed regions which his base record has destined him. Scenes among the American soldiers in the trenches are shown, and an entire air battle between two aerial fleets is reproduced. The pages of war journals are devoted to the battle of Frederick III of Prussia, and the instruction of the present Kaiser in his war policies by Bismarck—then the events leading up to the present sacrificing of the flower of nations. Reactions as part of this amazing picture, showing how low level war will outlive a thousand wars. Don't fall to see it.

"THE TIDAL WAVE" --- "The Tidal Wave," which will be the Lafayette Players' offering at the Avenue theater next week, is an interesting drama of love and adventure in four acts. The plot takes you from the coast of Maine to the South Sea islands. The story deals with two brothers who are in love with the same girl, the younger one, Dave, being the girl's choice. The girl, Ruth, influences her father, Capt. Peabody, to give Dave a birth as mate on his boat, "The Diving Cloud." Joe, the older brother's ambition was to be mated on the boat, and thought that owing to his being the oldest he should be the one chosen. Mrs. Merrick, the mother of the boys, tried to console Joe, but he, having a treacherous heart, planned how he could have Dave disgraced. He finally gets Dave under the influence of liquor. Dave's sweetheart, Capt. Peabody, is the mother, seeing him in that condition, he asks him out speaking to him. Thinking himself disgraced, he turns to his brother for consolation. Joe then tells him that he has inherited the craze for liquor from his dead father and to go away with him. He asks the mother, saying that he would let Dave know when it was all right for Dave to come back. Later his brother tells him that he will not be forgiven and the captain would not consider taking him to marry the mate. Dave immediately seeks solace in what he considered his heritage. Next we see him, a broken down man, a beach comber on the South Sea islands. Known only as Hong Kong two companions, Hicks and Simpson, and a rock shipships. How Dave finally meets his brother and in what way he punished him is very interestingly portrayed by the Lafayette Players. The play is one of the strongest dramas in the continent has had the pleasure to offer its patrons, not alone because of its strong plot and original situations, such as the "vooodo" scene, etc, but it gives the artist a chance to produce some fine scenic effects, eschewing the sea, with its sandy, rock bound cliffs and its clear blue waters. lors, S.

PAGE EIGHT Is the Negative who shows the A DEAR FRIEND: The World Wonder Oil and Gas Company owns some of the most valuable oil property in the world's famous Trapshooter and Towanda Districts in Butler County, Kansas. I am quite sure you have heard of the famous Trapshooter well. If you had invested $100 in that company when it was first organized you could sell your interest today in that company for over $40,000, excluding the large amount of dividends you would have received. Just think of it! The World Wonder owns 80 acres about one and one-half miles from that famous lease, which is illustrated on the map on the reverse side of this sheet. We also own 50 acres between the Sluiss and Smork Pools, also in Butler county, Kansas, in the world's greatest oil field in the gush district. We also own $20 acres in the proven oil fields of Anderson county, Texas, and 40 acres in the proven oil fields of Allen county, Kansas. Now here is the real dope. We are going after the real gusher wells. We are going after the wells that should flow anywhere from 1,000 to 15,000 barrels of oil per day. We expect to erect our rig in a very few days on our 80 acre lease near the famous Trapshooter and begin to drill out that acreage. It's going to cost lots of money to drill in that territory. It will cost about $35,000 to put down one well complete, but we are not afraid nor worried about not raising the money, for we know that we have one of the strongest organizations of Colored men that can be found anywhere in this country. Our officers and board of trustees are composed of some of our leading business and professional men who live in almost every state in the United States. Our board is not exactly complete as yet, but will be in a few days, and we will no doubt be able to publish same in our next letter. We have an awful big company; it's organized and managed by awful big men, and we are going after awful big money, and the time to get in on the ground floor is NOW. The Negro is doing today what he should have done ten years ago. If the Negroes had turned their attention to the development of oil and gas properties ten years ago with as much enthusiasm and vim as they have today, I believe I would be safe in saying we would have as many Negroes today worth from $100,000 to $500,000 and $1,000,000 as we now have Negroes today worth from $100 up to $1,000. As an illustration, remember, if you please, the Mid-Vale Oil and Gas Company and the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company, both companies owned and operated by Colored men, and both less than one year old, and both, I personally know, have a nice production and are expecting to pay their stockholders a handsome dividend not later than the close of the year. This I truly know, and I also know that their stock was originally sold for $1 per share, and if you can buy any of it at all today it will cost you from $3 to $5 per share. If this, my good, thinking friend, can be accomplished in less than one year, isn't it almost impossible to estimate what could have been done in ten years? But let's forget the past; let bygone be bygone; let us put our shoulders, our money and our brains together, and let's work like "H" to take care of the future. I do honestly believe that the Negro is now going to make such a rapid progress that it will almost be inexpressible to note his progress in the investment and commercial world. I believe this war for democracy has done more than anything else could have done to wake us up along that line, and democracy for the Negro is sure to come, and, my good friend, democracy, money and wealth go hand in hand. I did not intend to go so far into the race problem and democracy at this time as I did. I only intended to tell you just a little of our wonderful oil properties and this wonderful opportunity for investment. Your money deposited in the bank, drawing 3 or 4 per cent, is not invested; you are simply loaning this money to the banker, who in turn loans your money to someone else to invest for real profits. Probably you have loaned some of your money to the government and accepted a Liberty Bond for same, and if so, why not invest your Liberty Loan Bond with the World Wonder Oil & Gas Co.? We will accept it as cash in the purchase of stock. Read the inclosed letter, which explains how you can get in on the ground floor of this great company with us, by buying some of our stock at 25 cents per share that has a par value of $1 per share. Don't delay! Get in touch with our representative at once, or write the Home Office. W --- Very respectfully yours, THE WORLD WONDER OIL & GAS CO.

Foster Doped to Lose. The most recent dope on the Standards would make it appear that Fosser squawed it for a neat haunting. Let us see you remember what the Beloit Fairbank-Morse team did to the Giants just before our champions started on their long tour; well this club that will be on display Sun- American Giants' Crew Return By Dave Wyatt Andrew "Rube" Foster left Chicago some weeks ago with a line-up that was complete in every detail—that is, considering war conditions, then he healed himself in the throes of ignominious defeat. The team that downed his charges looked every inch of the way he threw and steal bags—in fact, the team opposed to Foster's charges in their first days out displayed so much speed, hep and energy, that they only left a lasting imprint upon the minds of the fans who witnessed their play, but they forged ahead for blocks himself, and when that personage gives praise to a team no higher recommendation is necessary.

They downed the Bloelt in all series last season, and the count for the championship was one for the Joilotes and nary a one for the Bloelt. It has been rumored and practically verified, that Foster will be baseman here in time to enter the final. Beloits to Return. Some more good news: Sunday, Aug. 25, the Belotis will return for another go with our champions: and Foster will go with our champions: and Foster who have gone to camp to be in the line-up against the clash bunch from the Wisconsin state. That will be Willie Hamm, Iris Hamm, C.F.; and Wicklware hamm, I. The idea is tolish the fans the real inside dejoe to whether the Belotis won out on their merits the last time out, or just tabbed for over-sea duties for their country. The feature to the contest upon that data (25th): It will be a grand flag day and big farewell blow-out to the boys for over-sea duties for their country. H. Traves, of local board No. 4 will present wrist watches to the ball player recruits, the same being a gift for the Cuban Stars at August 31st and September 1st, and the entire line-up, including the boys will go to the Wolverine metropolis and take a hand in the contests. son. They entered the ring upon our first show trembling and submissive, the giant's fire was aroused, so the picked men were vengeful and venge and got it—that is, they let us know in so many words that they wouldn't stand three straight defeats, the vengeance of an extra round light. And we got it good. We didn't beat 'em—they quit. They laid down like a bunch of yeller Oh, yes, Speck, Pottus, "Bocha" Sanctum Sanctum Williams. Tom couldn't last his first game against us, and he did rescue work in the last game. If he lives to see it, he will receive reception and close score, 19 to 2. Wouldn't it sunstroke you. Pipe the line-up that done this—Dixon, Whitney, francis, Duncan, Duncan, Barber, that, it is not such a joke of a line-up, but it's all the selective army draft Yes, it's the same gang that showed it. Oh, the gang downed the Ref Caps, and if they play the same class of ball at home Rube doesn't give a tinker's aid if you add new stars he has signed don't show up. Defeats at Atlantic City Dearats at Atlantic City Of Orleans, at Atlantic City City must be explained. You see, it was not generally known, but all the gate receipts and both teams belonged to us. Do you think we would try to win the game by taking a sake of a win when we have more wins to our list than is comfortable to us as a box office attraction? It is a moral cinnamon that if this squad beat the team that we would win, the Ocean gang didn't have a look-in on real baseball. It was this way: We were assured for months ahead that we would do big business, and we would do it in his always well-defined practice of having a heavy guarantee under protection of a certified contract. The way they pushed it to us was that the team had a left a trail of unpaid bills. The players were away in arrears on salary. Another good-natured hick with a bunch of kassim assumed the team was some burden; at least he said so. New Players Imported At any rate, a bunch of players were imported each day from Philly and New York, and unless assured that they would be paid. So each day we took all the coin and then had to loan the unfurious players. In that way we were assured of a game each day, and all this time we were after our guarantee and what we had three days, until the bick-magnet got about deep enough in our purse for us to feel it. So we asked for a pair of American football players to drop off did we, to the tune of a cancellation of three games. Then we rested in the Red Caps play the A's at Indianapolis. Sunday, while the Americans engage some pale-faces at the home games, the championship blowout among the Colored clubs. The work or fight order will not in any way affect the regular holiday and Sunday schedule of games. A. B.

Rabe Fosters delegation began with the pyrotechnics of the first, had died away the Chicagoans led by a single run, three lusty saws of the leather in the inaugural inning placing the Giants on top. Indianapolis did not count until the third inning, when ragged fielding behind the Giants powered to Power to the Hoosier. The Hoosier scored through an error by Francis, the Chicago third sacker, who threw wide after a lengthy conversation with the Giants, scored when Dixon threw high to catch him at third. Hill scored for Chicago in the fourth inning, fielding tally in the sixth, doubling to center and scoring on an error by J. Taylor. Errors in the sixth gave the Hoosier Colored boys their other run CO. 12 DEFEATS CO. 20 Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. Aug. 16. —The first inter-company game to be played at Camp Grant was staged by the camp from companies 26 and 12, put on one of the best ball games ever staged in a cantonment. In fact they played big ball games between Taylor and Wickware, the seasoned and hard tried pitcher, of Foster's American Giants, with Wickware breaking the break of the game going to him. In the first inning when the 12th company scored their two runs, they were outscored by Starks, Baldwin and Collins, but after that the boys of the 26th found themselves and played bang-up baseball, never making one mistake. They have been different but for a burn play pulled off by Kay, who had reached first, one of the few obtained off of Wickware, and one of the players from Collins, with Allen at the bat. On the first ball pitched Kay tried to steal third and was called out, thus Collins, with Allen at the bat. The features of the game were the spectacular catch by Baker, the playing of Baldwin and Sergt. Corker. Of the pitchers must be included. T. Abernathy, formerly of the Q.

The slackness of application has been a serious vexity last season served as a barrier to his appearance. It is thought that Pollard will be concerned to the rank of neutronian. He was a member of the amply capable of undertaking the gigantic task to round the army men in shape. Walter Camp's selection of Pollard to be on the All-American field would be a valuable asset in his favor. W. Speedy and R.

OTTO WALLACE Joe Gans, light weight champion of the white division, Wallace (white), Aug. 17, 1918 at Ft. Worth. This is the first chance that Gans has had to take a crack at any of the top-notchers in the white division. Up to now he has had to take the weight of Gans, showing that they did not want any of his game. Lou Goldman, Gans manager, has been trying to match his teammates in the weighty weights around Chicago, but they all weight up the white flag when his name was mentioned. Goldman says that he had to crack the Sailor Freeman, or that he will have man to the limit, and they may let their conscience be their guide. Gans has good shape for his bout with Wallace, as well thought of in the sporting circle. AMERICAN GIANTS TAKE CLOSE ONE Chicago Wine First of Local Series at Detroit Detroit, Mich., Aug. 16—A bat, which was not crossed over another, may be given the credit for the American Giants, a team from Chicago, defeating the A. B. C. club, a nine from the 2. to 2, at Navin Field Saturday, Aug. 9. It was in the last half of the ninth inning, two were out for the Giants, and the other was out for the base, when the little bat boy decided to cross the blunders. He was stopped just in time by a nervous pitcher, and that it was a worth while superstition, the next player stopped up to the plate and slammed the ball out. The Giants won, Indianapolis deider retrieved it, the winning run had crossed the platter. Score in Sixth The game was as good as any seen at Navin Field this season and was started on time and completed in an impressive 11-0 win. Until the sixth inning, not a player of either side reached third. The first one that did scored. The first man was in the first inning. The fielding feature of the game was made by Hill of the Giants in the fifth inning, when he ran clear to the scoreboard to take Williams' drive. The two teams will be played at Navin Field this afternoon at 3. The score: A. B. N.

They hadn't been so wrapped up in anything since they had been in France. Suddenly the fringes of the thick, noisy, black line of roots across the outfield, men began to turn their backs to the game, stiffly standing at attention, reaction of the hand, came faint but thrilling music, to which they automatically fitted words: to leave, to arms! We'll form battalions strong. March on—"Attention!" shouted the big soldier who but a moment before had been running down the roots' line yet more men were straightening, stiffly effect. The runner, ten feet off second base, spun down the roots' ball and the batter his stick. Even the "ump" was called to silence. Away back one could see a man in a bow crooked, and with his black hand to the forehead of his wire mask. The "Marsellise" had bushed the great American game.

When war was declared and Abraham Lincoln called for valient men Thomas Barrett, grandfather of Charles V. Barrett, was Among the first soldiers of the state of Ilnols to enilst and serve with dls- tinction throughout the war. His father Michael Barrett, in the year of 1863, being quite a youn man, went back to his old home in Sackett Harbor, N. Y., and offered himself ag a volunteer for the service of his country and was a member of the 20th Now York Cavalry, serving with distinction and was with Grant's army at the time General Lea surrendered at Appomattox. Family Returns to Illinois At the conclusion of the war, Michael Barrett returned to the state of Til nois and settled in Chicago. About 1875 he became a member of the Chi- cago fire department, which position he held until the tlme of his death, 1911, being a member in continuous service thirty-six years. The early environment, patriotic trudition of the family well ts Charles Y. Barrett for the office he seeks at thin time. His experience as a public official and his broad education, not only from schools but contact with his fellow man, amply qualifies him to set in Judgment in matters envolving the Interests of others.

The book is no longer a prospect but a business in the drifts and cross-cuts and uprisers to the surface until you warrant the installation of the most powerful of ores; it has been by assays and tests to insure until the value of the ore is known to warrant the installation of the most powerful of hydro-electric power plant which we intend to install. When this is done it will make the mine independent of outside aid and will be the DEND paying mines of the country. All the stock will be withdrawn from the market when the Power Plant is installed.

"There is one thing about the Kashmir Chemical Company productions—they bear only one badge, and that is the badge of superiority," that's what a user of Kashmir products said the other day. That is quite true. The "Kashmir Way" means the best way. That is quite true. The "Kashmir Way" means the best way. To begin with, there is no manufacturability goods up with a greater idea of beauty. Kashmir goods are ornamentally produced, and make a splendid color scheme. The color scheme is royal purple and gold. Could there be anything richer? Kashmir goods speak for themselves. The goods themselves are prepared by the artisans thought out formulas. Every formula has been put to the test and found to do exactly as represented. That's why Kashmir products are being sought by the other. Competition does not alarm Kashmir, because there is no participatory competition in the immediate environment. Kashmir products are in a class by themselves. Kashmir agents are growing more because they realize that it is easy to dispose of superior articles. With the coming of fall business the company is focusing on the list of agents. The new edition de luxe beauty book, richly illustrated, not only describes the mir way, but also tells what many are accomplishing with Kashmir goods. This beauty book will be sent to any department on a postal card addressed to the Kashmir Chemical Company, Dept. D, 412 South Clark St., Chicago, Ill. A MODERN PORTIA By Nettle George Spady The glaring announcement in a daily paper that a man who had been accused of murder was gambling with his wife, defended by a woman lawyer rather than plead guilty and probably escape with a life sentence, interested me wonders. I wondered what Miss Pearl M. Hart (white), the attorney in the case, could offer in William Norwood's defense, when he been charged with one of the most atrocious crimes ever been committed, and the Cicero police claimed to have his confession in their hands. It is said, tried to rob the home of Constantine Matules (white), 1338 South Stist avenue, Cicero, Jan 6, 1918, and split Matules' head with him, when the victim tric to capture him. Miss Pearl M. Hart Norwood was without funds and Judge McGororty, before whom he was questioned, said he was Miss Hart's first to defend him. It was Miss Hart's first murder case and her brains were to be pitted against those of McGororty, who was pertened and ablest prosecutors of the state, but, nothing daunted, she shooked her responsibility and tried to punish the man who had pinned his faith in her. One thing was in her favor, and that was that he was placed on trial before a jury in Judge Crowne's court, for the Hon. Robert E. Crowne bears the distinction of being the man who ever graced a judicial bench and being swayed by justice alone. The evidence against Norwood was not sufficient, and confession alleged to have been signed by him, an ax supposed to have been identified by him as the murderous defendant, finger-prints being taken on the door facing, and two saloon keepers from Cicero testified to Norwood's presence of the murder on the night in question. Address Before the Jury Every case, no matter how pathetic, has its humorous side, and some of the cases have been made where and how the confession was obtained, and when the ax was produced without a blood stain, and a blood stain without a finding, it seemed as if a comedy was being staged, and the court ruled both confession and ax out of the evidence. His point being in her favor, Miss Hirt told me that her address to the jury, declaring: "Gentlemen of the jury, there does not seem to be a case against the defendant, William Norwood, but to fasten been born in the great minds of the great self-thinking Sherlock Holmes of Chicago's great back yard. Cicero. After a crime has been committed someone and the police become to believe so firmly in their vivid imagination of the guilty perpetrator that they immediately produce witnesses to verifying that witnesses were two saloon keepers. Well, I do not know much about saloon keepers, but my limited experience and observation have taught me the difference between saloon keepers and police that the saloon keepers can become the mouthpiece of the police when the occasion demands. Why did the police use a geographic copier of the bloody gun-prince found upon the door facing? Were they afraid they would not compare with those of William Norwood? Yet prints are supposed to be in fault. Jury Fails to Agree "The police tried to make you believe that they had discovered another George Washington—all they duce an ax and William Norwood would step forth and say I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet. Napoleon once said: 'Potential discoverer, so gentleman, I leave it to you to find out how much was discovered and how much invented.' After six and one-half hours' debriefing the jury was discharged by Judge Curtis, and agree, but Miss Hart told me that one of the jurors afterward informed her that had they been allowed another half hour they would have retreated. Miss Hart applauded by a judge to defend a murderer, and many know now who did not know before that Pearl M. Hart is one of the brainsist and most intelligent we have, and when I christen her 'A modern Porta' I do not say too much.

Immediately thereafter the party with her mother, sister, and friend, phone, and talked with Mrs. Sorrells, who stated that she had not left home during the morning. The mobbing for details soon aroused the fire of Sorrells, who became sullen, contemptible and refused to talk. Upon his arrest, he stated that he had been seen in the neighborhood at the time of the murder, and sought to prove alibi that he was at work at the time of the murder, and gated these alibis the police found out from the foreman and employees at the Yards that Sorrells did not appear at the morning; further, several witnesses were found in the house, have been found who saw Sorrells about the house at the time of the crime. The woman was found with six wounds in her skull, one of which was identified as fitting the head of a ham. This wound is found in the house. This depth. The results of these assaults from statements disclosed by the corporeus physician caused immediate From information gleaned from the dead woman's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Green, who lived with the Sorrells, told me that she relled from time to time over money matters. It appears that shortly after their marriage her husband discovered that she had money and sought to influence her to have the bank book transferred to his name. She being of a gentle position complied with his request, and unintentionally the entire sum deposited and used it for himself. It is presumed that his disposition of this money was the cause of the argument which finally resulted in her being arrested. It is alleged that prior to the day of the crime, Mrs. Sorrells had received six dollars from her place of employment, and from her place of employment controversy. The pay envelope in which it was received was found under his pillow, but the money was found on the dresses in their bedroom undisturbed.

WILLIAMS MAKING BIG GAINS OVER ETTELSON IN THIRD DISTRICT ARGUMENT FOR STATE SENATE Convincing Oratory Fires Hearers' Enthusiasm There come days in the life of every race when providence hinges the glory of its people on a single hour, when they are called upon to decide in mature form to the shaping of their future destiny, to the expansion of law and the expansion of opportunities for greater educational, industrial and economical development,—when they must override the sundry forces of antipathy, lift aloft the stubborn bane of restriction from the allurement of freedom, smooth down the irritable rises which fleck the road to forward purpose and brush aside idlers, drones and the rotten fabric of emaciated political parasites whose usefulness has long since breathed its last, such is the whole humanity that presents itself to those of our Race whose habitation is within the bounds of the third senatorial district. The "providence" is the primary law by which we may express in strict privacy our choice of representatives in public office, and the eleventh of September. Should we not have a representative in the upper body of the State Legislature? Are there those of you who still hold through selfish motives or lack of race loyalty that the time is not ripe? Are there those of you who and besides there is danger in delay and especially when the delay is needless. Williams Highly Qualified for Place Augustus L. Williams, regular Republican candidate for State Senator from the Third Semi-State District, received the third requirement of the office which he has been prevailed upon by his constituents to accept and better proof of this cannot be shown than in his forceful oratory which has won for him the admiration and pledge of support of the people. Williams has pointed out in ways too plain to be misunderstood the wisdom of concerted action in filling this most urgent of the Race's needs and the folly and danger of division through factional strife, sectional disorder and the violence of the war, which demands of every individual fall, thorough and deliberate exercise of his constitutional rights. Remember we are fighting with a, double-bedded sword. Let every blow that falls from our boys in France find an equalization in the battleground on this side of the battle ground in our fight for world democracy. Vote for Augustus S. Williams, a man of your own Race, and show that you are true to the cause. Watch next issue for more about your candidate.—Adv.

Financial The City of Chicago should be empowered, when taxable sources of revenue fail after the Comptroller has budgeted the budget and the tax levy made—that is, the first quarter of the fiscal year—to borrow a sum or sums sufficient to meet such expenses as the payroll of departmental employees, including firefighters, and to be met by proceeds of the tax levy of the next succeeding fiscal year. Municipal Service Conflicting authorities in some of the executive departments of our city of Chicago have led to grave situations. Our citizens have been unable to determine on whom or in what department to fix the responsibility therefor. Great sums of the taxpayers who have been expended in fruitless lawsuits, prosecutions and fees. The State Legislature should review the situation and the law and harmonize the departmental functions of our Municipal Government. The Organic Law The leader of the Republican party, the Governor of our State of Illinois, has given the official pledge of the city that the citizens of the state shall in abridged. Nevertheless, your representative shall be active and careful in safeguarding every interest of the Race, and I shall oppose with all that I know, and that abridges or is optionally restrictive of the liberties we now enjoy. The Citizenry The State of Illinois should establish a fund to be expended by a commission to provide for the needy dependents of those of our citizens who are killed or severely wounded in the recent service of our country and for the rest, as far as possible of the working capacity of those impaired by loss of limbs or sight. The State of the Commonwealth The Legislature should take a careful survey of the internal social conditions that have manifested their presence by sedition and violence, especially by lynching, and pass laws to suppress and wipe out such evils, of the people and so help win the war.

WE HAVE WITH US in the newspaper field a few benighted editors so warped mentally it is a difficult matter for them to write anything concerning us without injecting a certain amount of venom, proving conclusively their racial antipathy is still dominant. Even as cosmopolitan a journal as the "Outlook" let slip by an article entitled "Mobilizing Rastus," in which the writer, in an attempt to be funny, overstepped his bounds and received just rebuke from those who see nothing particularly amusing in even an ignorant colored man offering his life that Old Glory may continue to wave over all men, including the jesters remaining on this side of the water. "The States," a New Orleans paper, puts the caption, "Here's Way to Make Negro Women Work," over the following article: "Since the tarring and feathering escapade of Tuesday evening in which Dr. J. A. Miller, negro physician, and Dave Cook, white man, were the conspicuous figures, two Negro women were subjected to the same treatment. Leaders of the committee who waited on the two Negro women stated for some time they had boasted that they did not have to work, having indulged in idleness at the expense of the community. After giving each a coat of tar and feathers no further violence was resorted to upon promise of the women they would immediately secure jobs." This scene is laid in Vicksburg, Miss., which fully accounts for all lawless things that happened. When a newspaper advocates tarring and feathering women who, for reasons best known to themselves, are not working, it seems high time legal action was being instituted against the publishers, on the grounds of encouraging lawlessness, inciting people to take a step further—applying the torch to their victims—and committing downright murder. What business is it of any person or set of persons whether a woman does or does not work? If her living depends on it she must of necessity work; if she has other honest, visible means of support, it is still her own business. If she is a woman of ill repute and flies in the face of the law, the officers of the law should handle the case. Under no circumstances has a mob the right to sit in judgment or inflict punishment on any human being. We are wont to look upon our newspapers as powerful agencies for the enlightenment and uplift of the people, but their power of destruction is far greater than their power of construction for the simple reason that it seems easier for the human family to follow a crooked on a straight line. A lie is more quickly disseminated than the truth, and given a little headway masquerades as the truth oftimes. To constantly fling before the public's eye our weak points and pigeon-hole the good ones is unfair, unjust and unkind. The newspapers could, if they would, crush all forms of segregation and discrimination, and that is what we fully expect them to do, since we again are offering our lives on the altar of democracy. Has the white man who permits his paper to still further crush a loyal set of people any conscience and sense of the eternal fitness of things? Optimists say there is to be a great awakening of the American people. Let us pray that day soon arrives, for, like Rip Van Winkle, they have over-slept themselves now more than twenty years. Two Viewpoints : "DAMN THE HYPHEN" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) JUDGE LANDIS, in one of the attiring speeches characteristic of him, brought an audience of new enlisted men at Camp Grant to their feet when he attacked foreign nationalism and said "Damn the hyphen." We echo that sentiment. The whole nation will echo it. The day of the hyphen in this country, we devoutly trust, is gone forever. With men of every racial strain fighting herelicity under the Stars and Stripes or preparing loyalty and devotedly to do so, there are only Americans in this land. The politician who is still playing with an imaginary hyphenated vote is putting his own finish. There are quite a few politicians who are willing to prostrate politically trying to catch votes by appealing to prejudice and ties of foreign nationality. We have a conspicuous case of it in Illinois and Judge Landis probably was thinking of it when he said "Damn the hyphen." There is no hyphen for true Americans. The men over there and over here are settling that. They are wiping out every vestige of the hyphen with heroic blood. Honor to them and to America they are honoring. Honor to them and "Damn the hyphen" and the slick politicians who angle with the hyphen for disloyal votes. Now that game is done for, and when where it is over we won't even know in our day. America is reborn in our day. Oklahoma A SOME PLACES on the map never are going on around them, and Oklahoma is prone to this sleepy burglar who prohibit either whites or blacks by vided that a person of one race may person can obtain the consent of three.

We offer only to Oklahomaans but to all others who long under their hat Oklahoma Asleep Again SOME PLACES on the map never seem to wake up and notice things that are going on around them, and Oklahoma City is one of them. Recently the city has been called upon to help Oklahoma City be supposed to prohibit either whites or blacks living in the same block. However, a videotaped that a person of one race may live in a block of the other race if the person can obtain the consent of three-fourths of all the residents of the block.

Will someone read, provided they have had schooling, enough to understand it, and be willing to brother out of any certain block why do not the residents of said block refuse to sell or rent to the objectionable party? Said objectionable party couldn't get the city to let him live there.

"TO HELL WITH SEGREGATION" (CHICAGO DEFENDER) THERE MAY BE other ways of expressing a thought than by using words, to say the least, that are ineligent, but it must be admitted at times they drive home a point more important than that they are used in more polite circles. If his Honor Judge Landis, ably seconded by the Tribune, can "damn the hyphen" that makes men only paranoid, from down home" is justified from hell with segregation." We repeat, it is ineligent, but it expresses the sentiments of some twelve million or TICITENS in a way that every human being fully understands. Even those who foster segregation kill well they are acting contrary to the law, they add hyphen, rape and murder their other acts of lawlessness they know or should know they are wrecking every foundation upon which democracy is based, one of them, and as such deserve the treatment accorded traitors. An enemy within the lines is far more dangerous than one without the lines and the other they are gotten rid of the better. Some so-called Americans that are not "hypenated" might also be armed without doing them an injustice. On the one hand, in the bud all things that savor of German propaganda. Why not go a step further and throw in prison ad-hoc segregation? Is it not just us dangerous? Is it not dangerous of this great country? "To hell with segregation," as Brother Splivins says, when its sole purpose is destruction, or to voice the sentiments of the other twelve million when we say AMEN. Asleep Again I seem to wake up and notice things that someone is on one end. Recently the missed and unmissed balloon is hanging in the same block. However, it proves in a block of the other race if the missed all the residents of the block,inance is a fine of from $10 to $400, and these city fathers a copy of the decree of these United States on this very day, providing the school is such a great desire to keep the dark do not the residents of said block refuse party?

We offer this as a frog to all others who may have like TWO BOYS Answer to Mr. Loeb's Letter Fostering Separate Schools in Chicago THERE, HERE AND NOW The following letter, bearing date of Aug. 7, under the signature of Max Loeb, a member of the school board, has been sent out to a number of prominent citizens disguised as seeking information concerning certain alcaline issues, in attempting the educational and civil rights of a particular element of citizens: The Letter Dear Sir: The Colored population has increased largely since the war in many northern industrial cities. Colored attendance in the public schools has grown correspondingly. How best can the Race antagonisms be avoided so often spring up when the two races are brought into close juxtaposition—especially when white and Colored children are in attendance under the same and in the same classes? You wiser, when there is a large Colored population, to have separate schools for white and Colored children? To the separation camp at the desire of the people, a initiative of the Colored people, would the sympathetic understanding of Colored by whites, and vice versa, be heightened or would such a generation increase in inclusion? Do you think it wizer to have separate classes for Colored and whites, with Colored and white teachers, in the same school rather than to have It seems much wiser to have separation (if any at all is necessary) by voluntary action rather than through a formal opinion, should a separation-movement, if under any circumstances it is wise, be begun? By conferences between white and Colored leaders in the district? By recommendation from the school board? By withdrawal of Colored children, upon recommendation of their own leaders, from attendance at schools which are predominantly white, and from attendance at schools where the Colored children are notinated? If you think any separation in public schools is unwise, what measures, if any, would you suggest, to make less difficult the relationship between in the field of public education? Your answer to the above will be held strictly confidential. The problem demands an intelligent solution, satisfactory to both whites and Colored. As member of the Chicago Art Museum and Edison Museum of the situation was forecibly impressed upon me. You, as a leader of the materially in working out a consecutive program which will result in greater sympathy and understanding, will now every reason, when white and Colored are fighting side by side on the battlefield of France, for mutual understanding and handling of the difficult problem. The first paragraph of Mr. Loeb's letter brings to our attention the fact that a large number of our people have been pleased to see the related attack against antagonism between white and colored children in their attendance at the same schools and in the same classes. Our best solution to this problem is to ask Mr. Loeb's inquiring of Mr. Loeb's inquiry is that the fathers and mothers of both the white and Colored children teach them in their classes. Our best solution to democracy, out of which will come the proper respect for other races, nationalities and creeds. The most constructive effort could be put forth by Mr. Loeb. In desideration, would be to appeal to the parents of the white children to teach their young ones a greater and more firm understanding of the letter it would be to appeal to the parents of our government requires them to come in contact with. The second paragraph of the letter it would be to consider that no citizen who has a fundamental conception of the high and traditional principles of the government of the letter it would be willingly attempt to violate its laws. The third paragraph is so academic in reasoning, and so base in spirit, that to American citizen can afford to stop to American citizen can afford to stop to Jews to cut ice in Silberia by the Russian government heighten the respect of the Russian people for them? It is impossible to stop to Jews to cut ice in Silberia and probably he can answer this question. Wading into the fourth paragraph of the third paragraph he considers the tempting halt of Colored teachers for Colored children, we are reminded of the "thirty pieces of silver. We will not allow the clinker of gold to deprive us of our Birthrights. Now for number five. This very eminent gentleman, who from information in their desire to flee from tyranny, sought the asylum of these peaceful subjects of a country, many of whose subjects in their desire to flee from tyranny, sought the asylum of these peaceful subjects of a country, many of whose subjects in an atmosphere where the liberties and privileges of every man receives the same consideration before the law, Jews to cut ice in Silberia and religious bigotry upon another class of people who are Well, let's see—what am I doing here? I am making him make sure thats certain. He gives his all for me. Life is just as sweet to him as it is making it possible for me to have. Loeb's New Propaganda The contribution of over five thousand of the best manhood of the Negro race in Chicago to the fighting force now engaged in a death struggle with the kaiser to "make the world safe for democracy" seems to have little or no effect upon one MAX LOEB, member of Chicago's board of education. Judged from the contents of a letter recently addressed to a number of representative Race men, a copy of which is printed in another column of this issue, this gentleman—himself identified with a race against which the white man's prejudice is leveled everywhere—has suddenly conceived the notion that separate schools for whites and blacks in Chicago ought to be seriously considered. Adroitly he seeks to draw expressions of opinion on separate schools from a number of our leading Race men by requesting answers to a list of questions submitted on this subject. Beneath the surface we can see grave danger in falling into this clever—typical of his race—trap of Mr. Loeb. The Defender advises those who have received the letter in question to wholly ignore both him and his interrogatories. Separate schools may be desired by a few traitorous Negroes who would put the possible increase of jobs as teachers above the great question of equal rights, but for the great masses of our people—NEVER. Mr. Loeb's new propaganda is as dangerous within as the kaiser's kultur is without. He could do no more to help the kaiser among our people than by raising the issue of separate schools while we are engaged in a war to convince the Hun that class and race distinctions must forever be banished. The Defender commends Mr. Loeb to the distinguished consideration of Kaiser Bill, "the world's greatest autocrat." DR. BUNDY REPLIES TO N. A. A. C. P.

In this paragraph a velled threat is observed counched in the following language: "It seems much wiser to observe by volition, if (any at all is necessary) by volition, than through the operation of law," and assumed that this special sentence was intended as a hammer upon the part of the army to force a favorable reply along the lines of the assumption is correct, Mr. Loeb has reckoned without his host, and the cliffers he attempts to attack, and who have, in the thousands of their sons, representing the blood of the Race, that the flag of this country might be respected in every land, and that the government will continue to give them a government will continue to give them a government who have fled from their own countries Loeb's New The contribution of over five to Negro race in Chicago to the fight struggle with the kaiser to "make to have little or no effect upon one board of education.

Gentlemen: It is with great pain and heartfelt regret that I read your published statement which misrepresented me and threatened to do damage to my great and sacred cause. For the life of me I could see no justification of your unkindly act. What puzzled me more it was difficult for me to discover your motive. First, either intentionally or unintentionally (I sincerely hope the latter) you greatly misrepresented me and conveyed to the general public, upon which I am indebted, at this time, a false notion as to my concern—inserting statements which I did not make to you or anybody else. While your public statement contained some of my words, as & whole it seriously misrepresented me. It was this group of friends that arose to the measure of my necessi- E AND NOW happiness with my friends left here and my family. Well, George Oce- Top! anything I've got is yours. Of course, Uncle Sam, and the Y. M. C. of the Salvation Army, and the Red Cross, might be, yet, is there are some things that I must do RIGHT HERE AND NOW. One of the least, and yet one of the biggest, is to write you a letter that's terrible feeling to not get a letter from the folks back home, and then when all the other fellows get a letter and you even get a postal card--that's what Sherman said war is, is sure enough. Then, again, there's the newspaper—I mean our very own paper, that tells us what to wear and what to like to hear about. Now, I've been reading the papers and throwing them in the waste basket. I'm surely going to learn about the parks, and I'm going to look after the home folks, too. I've been gaddying around to the parks and the parks, and, by Joe, I haven't been going to once. I'm going around to see them and cheer them up by telling them the home right side up with care some time ago, join me in a little jaunt to the parks or the movies. I've been the matter with me, anyhow? I've been the matter with me, I've been a shipper, and that's a new leaf.

COMMUNITY HOUSE OPENED FOR SOLDIERS AT CAMP GRAN COMMUNITY HOUSE OPENED FOR SOLDIERS AT CAMP GRAN BY A. N. Fields Rockford, IL. Aug. 18..The formal opening of the Colored Soldiers' club at 218 South Main street, Rockford, IL. The signal bringing together some of the pro-protest citizens, both white and black, of the city program began at 8 o'clock last Saturday evening under the auspices of the Camp Community Service, was unique. The program gently arranged. It was opened with music by one of the Camp Grant bands, after which Fred A. Moore (white), after which Fred A.
