Getting Better—Growing Bigger. THE GREATEST WAR PICTURE EVER PUBLISHED CHARGE OF THE COLORED DIVISIONS "SOMEWHERE IN FRANGE" READ AD ON PAGE SEVEN TOUISSANT STUDIOS, 451 Lenox Ave., New York City 17-Year-Old Mother Goes to House of Correction; White Pawnbroker Is Accused It was one of the saddest of heart stories that fell from the lips of Mrs. Hattie Downing, 352 West Thirteenth street, when she sat before Deputy Coroner Spears in the chapel of Mrs. Johnson's undertaking establishment at 3311 State street Tuesday at 2 p.m. at the inquest over the body of 4-month-old Baby Albert McWilliams, who died at St. Luke's hospital Monday morning, presumably from poisoning. It was Mrs. Downing's little grandchild, whose tender, frail, but troubled life had caused the grandmother to fear that some one was trying to kill the child, and bring an end to a drama of sensations. She watched the child with a grandmother's tenderest care, fearing for its safety, but determined that hands from taking its little life. Whether some one fed the child upon poison, which killed it, will not be known until the chemists make their upon the contents of the baby's stomach, which will determine the cause of its death. Girl Was Demented Mrs. Downing's daughter, Alberta, 17 years old, was confined in the insane asylum at Dunning a little more than two years old, and 15 years old. In a short time she improved and was released, but was soon beyond her mother's control. She was wounded in the attack, and in spite of her mother's watchful eye she straysed from the path of virtue, and Baby Albert was an amputated limb. Mrs. Downing, almost heartbroken at her daughter's disgrace, still pitied her, kept her in her home, but was determined to bring the cause of her ruin to the court. She paid the penalty for ruining her child. Alberta said that the father of the child was Nierman, a State attorney, who immediate steps to thwart the matter. Alberta is under a year of age and should be held in the law of one year in the house of correction and a fine for contributing to the delinquency of a child. At first Alberta was indicted for her parentage of her child, but when she found out that her mother intended to bring the father to justice and persecuted that she would not testify against him, and she would say that his clerk was the father of the child. Nierman Threatens Arrest When Mrs. Downing went to Nierman's daughter, he threatened to have her arrested, and this brought matters to a climax. Mrs. Downing was sent to Attorneys F. Barnett who at once premeditated to help the purpose of fixing the responsibility of the father of the child, and also to bring the matter to the attention of the court if a crime had been committed. In this way the life of this unfortunate baby was menaced, because its comical behavior a living thing, mess its father was a living thing, Mrs. Downing saw actions on the part of Albert which aroused suspicion that the child's life was in danger. She said that the baby was a victim to Assistant State's Attorney Hoagn of the Juvenile court, who took action to bring Alberta into court. She said that the baby was a victim to time Mrs. Downing saw that Alberta had the baby in the buggy on the street to take it out, saying the baby was never coming back again. That time Mrs. Downing saw that Alberta had the baby in the buggy on the street to take it from the grandmother, when a crowd gathered, and that Alberta sized her mother by the thigh, threw her to the ground, beating, gonging and scratching her face and neck before bystanders could take her Child Dies Suddenly Then the Juvenile court took Alberta and placed her in the detention home to await trial. Two days after Alberta was taken away the baby became sick, Mrs. Downing called a doctor in the neighborhood, but his medicine appearing to do no good, she called Dr. Bibbs, who made an examination of the child. Downing told the coroner that Dr. Bibbs said "There is something in the child's stomach. You had better take it to the hospital, because if the child was sick, you would not want to take the child to the hospital, but Dr. Bibbs told her he would not call again. Because the child continued to go to St. Luke's hospital Tuesday of last week. It lingered and suffered until Monday morning and died. A postmortem examination was held, the contents of the carriage and the result will be renetted to the state's attorney. This tragedy cries out for justice. If a child just a few months out of an asylum is to be murdered by his mother, his protests, threatened with arrest, and then because the child is a living proof against its father, if it is to be killed to destroy that proof, there is law Chicago to bring the guilty to justice. RC Prominent Women in Many Cities Throughout the Country Have Formed American Red Cross Canteens to Care for the Soldiers Passing Through. HAVE YOU BECOME 21 SINCE JUNE 5?

C., Aug. 23.—The war department has asked that the following statement be reiterated: "All male persons who have reached their 21st birthday since June 5, 1918, and on or before Aug. 24, 1918, must register on Aug. 24, 1918.

C., Aug. 23—Ex-Governor Cole L. Blease of South Carolina, whose influence and efforts have made for the demoralization of its constituents, has been said by President Wilson to be an unit candidate to represent the State of South Carolina in the highest position. This consignment of ex-Governor Blease by the president, along with Senator Jas. K. Vardaman of Mississippi, the president obliteration shows the president denial in the public life of our country men whose activities have poisoned the economic and political institution of our nation, and the president is another step toward obliterating from our midst German Kutturn.

Dawson (a), a local newspaperman, in expression of his dislike for the race in this state which for Officials of the coroner's office and police of the Third precinct station, Twenty-sixth street and Cottage Grove avenue, Monday morning began an investigation into the death of Mrs. Alice Boyd, 2941 Dearborn street.

Blesse is a candidate, the president says: "Let me say that I have perfect confidence that the people of South Carolina will judge rightly in the senatorial contest and I have not the least fear the new governor that Mr. Blesse is or can be a friend of the administration. "The record of his opinion is already written, and it is a little late to expunge it." In Dead, Blease Forgotten. The above statement sounds the death-knell to the political ambition of the carpet-bag statesman. Unfortunately for Mr. Blease, he has wasted the greater part of his life endeavoring to establish fundamental principles of this country. He will leave political life unmourned and unwept. South Carolina can congratulate herself, as well as the nation upon the death of Ben Tillman and the political demise of Cole L. Blease. New York, Aug. 23.—Declaring that he was born in 1771, William Mason, who lived for years in the basement at 183 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, died last Thursday in his home in 147 years.

Beat Vardaman in Senate Race Jackson, Miss., Aug. 23. In answer to the plea sent out by President Willis, days ago, Mississippi voters concerted overwhelming defeat to Senator James K. Vardaman in the Democratic senatorial primaries held throughout the state, with the grassman Patrick Harrison, whose final majority will probably reach 20,000. Complete returns from fifty-two out of the 100 primaries will give Harrison a majority of more than 10,000. It is estimated that Vardaman will run a poor third, as former Gov. Nocif, who is also in the race, will draw from former Vardaman supporters. Denounced by President Demonounced by President President answering an inquiry propounded to him by political leaders of Mississippi, said he would regard the re-election of Vardaman as "a condemnation of my state." The words from the mouth of the chief executive of the nation came as a hammer blow to the Vardaman as to other political camps and broke the chains that once held the senator firm in the nation's capital. The defeat given Senator Vardaman on this occasion, the second primary unnecessary, and before his name will be stamped the insignia of defeat, the old "ox." He was wasted a larger part of his time condemning our Race with scurrilous phrases, and attracting countrywide attention by his unrestricted appeals to race prejudice, a ville attacks upon our group deserted him at the eleventh hour and left him adrift in the political sea. It was a ville attack on Senator Vardaman sank beneath the surface to political oblivion.

By J. H. Gray DEFENDER MAN WRITES FROM "OVER THERE" 3691th U. S. Infantry, American Expeditionary Forces, France, July 25, 1918. My Dear Hon. Abbott: far away, thousands of miles distant from you, "somewhere in France," where various races and nationalities military forces are combined, utilizing their vast resources for the ultimate peace of world for the liberation of its people. In Germany people, but desiring no conquest, no dominion, no indemnities nor material compensation, but in order that the world may give or democracy the place whence I am the liberator, I will be writing a few lines to you. It may be well to state that I am at the present situation in a dark and tranquil dugout, surrounded by handles, below the bursting of shrapnel. Reada Defender Regularly I have just finished perusing a late publication of your excellent, inspiring, peerless and new paper. Since severing my services with your staff, some nontreatment unit notices with much nontreatment the unnoticed have no continuously made, at the same time realizing that this progress is due to your untiring-daily efforts to cause criticism of what I am proud to say that it does not. Deviating, it would afford me no small degree of pleasure to acquaint you with the true facts of such a place, and the pleasure of touring all over France, but some parts, such as the magnificent city of Cologne, noted the world over for its aromatic romances; the celebrated and historic city of Verona, where the most beautiful women with amazement of all the noted men who have died years ago; Bordeaux and Toulouse, two great cities noted the world over for champagne, delicious and sparkling wines, where the most beautiful women are toxicating perfumes of spirits; last, but not least, gay Paris, known throughout the world for its incomparable art galleries, the most noted of the once famous Napoleon and Eiffel, the most picturesque view of the startling panorama. This is such a glendal country. Doing Their Bit I now see the great war. The battles at Verdun and at Ypres shall always be remembered. I have entered into a great war with all that is in my mind, and I will never forget in reality. My first inspiration to cross the mighty ocean and fight for the safety of democracy came within me--after looking upon a very commendable cartoon which had appeared in the newspaper of William the kaiser looking toward America in the form of a sort of machine-made dragon, created of steel and iron and armor-plate, with forty-two eyes, and a head from his nose. Under his gigantic claws, which were hinged and riveted like contrivances of structural steel, he was crushing down cities and towns, converting whole populations into human beings, and the face of the monster was the kaiser's long cruel face and imperial helmet. And that description is still vivid to me. His cry to starve, malm, cripple and kill him, even lasting for four years shall cease. Now he is the center of publicity. Every one is doing his bit, Shortly, with fame, valor and glory, and the world is calling him the Land of the free and the home of the brave 'which will dawn a beautiful day.'

Mme, Touissant Welcome Paints Fine Pictures New York, Aug. 23—On Lenox avenue, in the heart of Harlem, is an art studio that harbors one of the best artists that the Race has. The casual Harlemite, strolling along his Broadway (Lenox avenue) has often noticed a lady sitting in the little courtyard of No. 451, industriously, working on a piece of canvas. They carelessly watch for a car, grinding out an air or two, and pass on, little aware perhaps that they are THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN Mme. Touissant face to face with a gonius. It was thus that a Defender reporter found the young artist under the name of Mme. Toussaint. Her real name is Mrs. Jennie Louise Welcome and she is the wife of E. Toussaint. Toussaint studio. Strolling into the courtyard, the reporter respectfully watched the young lady work, unwilling to work. In an hour, he at work. In a few minutes, however, the lady looked up, and, introducing himself, the reporter asked an interlocutor, the way into her studio. Here a profusion of pictures, all the personal work of the artist, greeted the eye. Subsequently that varied from prize fighters to ministers to battle ones greeted the eye. Writes and Paints Story Noticing the picture that created such a furore in New York, "Charge of the Colored Division Somewhere in France," the reporter was surprised to see Toussaint. It was then explained that this picture is the second episode in a story, the creation of which is the story of the soldier leaving the cruisers. The first episode, "Leaving Home," is a fine bit of work, showing a soldier boy leaving his old home, evidently in the country, bidding a fond farewell to war. Of course all the characters are of the Race. The second shows the boy "somewhere in France, valiantly fighting on a raging battle." The third shows the interior of a comfortable Race home and the old mother reading "A Letter From Home." The devoted soldier boy has written, while in the background is depicted what the boy is saying. The fourth, another soldier boy has written, wounded, and here the artistic brain of the artist has led her to paint a Red Cross nurse of the Race attending the wounded Race soldier, wildly beckoning the soldier, the last episodes, have not yet been painted, but the madame explained that in the fifth the soldier is by his side, and in the final picture a triumphant homecoming is depicted. Educated in Massachusetts Thirty-three years ago Jennie Louise Vanderzee was born in New York city. When a baby she was brought to Massachusetts, where her education was gained.

Toussaint Welcome, and three years ago, they opened the Toussaint studio in Harlem. Only last week she finished a painting six feet long, four feet high for a wealthy New York family. In the church of the Seventh Day Adventist, 131st street and Seventh Avenue, a picture ten feet long and nine feet high, a river scene, be seen. It is Mme. Toussaint's work and has been much admired by many. In many times the area of theatres, dining rooms, etc., much of this talented young lady's work may be found. It might also be said that Mme. Toussaint is as talented musically as she is with the brush. As the reporter left the studio he was much impressed with the simplicity and cordiality of this artist—a real genius. Poughkeepsie, N.

The Patterson Suburban Homes Corporation offers to all their lot purchasers an opportunity to build their own homes in this town, and the balance in small monthly payments like offering a great opportunity for them to own their own homes.

Among the achievements in New York City are mentioned the appointment of a colored physician at the National Building colored worker for the National Building Aid Society, and the placement of a second Colored visitor on the Staff of the Travelers' Aid Society. In Newark, an investigation of conditions among Negro women and girls with faceted hairs made. The investigation shows that between 1,000 and 1,000 women were employed and earned from $3.50 to $3.75 a day. More than $6,000 of the $10,000 necessary to purchase, equip and maintain a social center is assured. The League is co-working with other organizations in the interest of the colored population in Newark. The Armstrong Association of Philadelphia found employment for 1,202 persons during six months ending July 15, which in terms of money has been worth $135,842.48 to the employees. Well-far workers have been placed with several large companies and twenty-five percent receiving an aggregate annual salary of $24,840, and 135 are receiving each from $85.00 to $135.00 per month.

His name is Count David Ben Isaac de Kellosirita; and skin is black. His former allegiance was to Italy, the Count claiming as his birthplace Somalland. He is also a half Jew, and speaks twenty-seven different languages. The Count obtained a Justice Joseph Morschaauer's court, and he to Upton with the medical corps of an engineer regiment.

Greek Confectionery Proprietor Arrest ed for Firing Revolver Into Crowd New York, Aug. 23—George Growa- mass, the Greek prophetor of a confe- fessionary store at 135th, st. and Lenox ave, was arrested and locked up last when he discharged his revolver, a crowd of Race men who had stormed his place to learn why he had struck a little Race boy. It seems the little whose name could not be learned, had been killed by the Greek establishment, which the Greek claimed he had not paid for, and deliberately kicked him when he attemp- ted to explain that he had paid. Three Plate Windows Smashed When the youngster emerged from the place he explained his case to a crowd of men and boys who usually had a corner and the shop was started, and the place was filled, being three large plates with flowers. While the excitement was at its highest, the Officer Collins of the 38th precinct came up and ordered one Everett Johnson, 29, 35 W. 131st st., to move on. Johnson told the officer that he had been standing there all evening, was not connected with the trouble, and did not see why he should move. Officer Collins did not think the same as Johnson and placed him under arrest also. Both cases came up for trial at the Heights court Monday morning. It will be remembered that about two years ago a woman was \(^{th}\) handled in this same place. Whether the man provided are the same now as then we are unable to say. It is one of the many establishments in Harlem that is objectionable to the interests of the Race. Up over the counter hangs a sign reading that water will not be served at the tables with soda on account of a shortage of help. The fact is, not one Race person is employed there, while the patronage is mostly Race people. Out in what they are want to call "the parlor" at least ten signs adorn the wall, calling for the observance of things which are not the usual would have placed in his establishment if it was in the same trade. Next Sunday, no doubt, this miserable place will be filled again with our Race, willing to spend their money in any sort of a dump, regardless of their treatment. Making Inquiries Regarding Proposed Hotel New York, Aug. 23.—This office was recently asked if it had any information as to the new hotel that had been planned to be built on 7th ave. the Van-Astor, last company, called the Van-Astor, last company, called the intensive plans of a very elaborate building that was to be built at a cost of $1,000,000. It was to contain every possible thing making for elegance and comfort, including a $20,000 pipe organ. We thought it would be a general manager, Louie F. Baldwin, and asked him concerning the deal. From Baldwin a reporter for the Defender Learned that the Race had subscribed but $2,000 of the $200,000 they received into the capital, other $800,000 has been put into the deal by Norwegian capitalists, and according to Baldwin, that money is now on deposit with the Scandinavian Trust company, downtown. This $300,000 has been purchased and was their share in the agreement, the 20 per cent to come from the Race. Asked why they had not begun building, since the property, according to Baldwin, has been purchased, the gen manager replied that it was not a good deal. The other $800,000 had been paid in, in order not to begin building, and then being forced to stop with the place half finished. To avoid this plans are now under way have the other $200,000 put in by the gen manager, and the original $800,000, and Baldwin acts the deal to be put through in the near future. Counsellor Warring in Gaffney Case New York, Aug. 23—In the trial last week of John Callahan (white), the Tombs "trustee" who failed in his attempt to escape when Vincent Gaffney, the murderer, made his getaway, Counsellor Robert Lewis Warring was appalled by lawyer in the case by Judge McIntyre the callahan was on the charge of alding and assisting an oner to escape. He was serving a six months' sentence in the Tombs and had but one more month to go when he made his unsuccessful attempt to escape. Owing to Lawyer Warring's defense of Callahan, the jury disagreed in standing the general impression that the Callahan was remanded again to the Tombs in default of $10,000 ball and Warring is preparing a new defense for the new trial.

Odencrantz, state supervisor of the women's division of the United States Employment Service, says that the many jobs on hand will pay women from the military and other works; munition plants or bandage Trained workers even in clerical work, are badly needed, and but a few weeks training would fit a girl for these simple technical jobs. We respectfully invite our porter women on the railways to join us, and warn that money, to look into this. It is a clever opportunity to get away from the degrading work they are now doing.

GIVES THE WORLD A NEW THRILL AND EXPOSES THE PLOTS OF THE POTSDAM GANG TO RULE THE WORLD SEE 40 AEROPLANES BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY. THE KAISER CAPTURED BY THE AEROPLANE FLEET, AND HOW THE VICTIM OF THE CROWN PRINCE'S LUST IS Avenged by a Yankee Maiden THE ONLY PRODUCTION OF ITS KIND EVER FILMED 2 DAYS, SAT. & SUN., AUG. 24, 25 2 O'CLOCK TO MIDNIGHT OWL THEATER STATE, NEAR 47TH PAGE BIX The Avenue. A real sea-faring drama is what "The Tidal Wave" is, and it is one of the best offerings yet presented at The Avenite by the La which is saying much. The story is interesting and at times exciting; it is in comedy here and there and pathos of the sort what blue, yet encourages you to look forward to better times. Here is a who fall in love with the same girl at the same girl; she is the daugh- ter A. B. ```markdown ``` she is the daughter of a sea captain, and she arranges to have her brother, and she arranges to have her mother (langer) made mate. This arouses the jealousy of the elder brother, and what schemes he introduces to head off the arrangements is hardly worth mentioning. He gets the youngster full of red-cye and white hair, and he tries to show him up not only to the girl and her father but to his own mother and the whole group turn on him just like the older brother likes. The youngster is next seen as a drunken beach-comber in the South Sea Islands; he has surrounded himself with a group of fellows who call the universe their home and they endure many hardships and challenges over years of separation from civilization. His older brother had convinced him that his father was an alcoholic before him and in swilling the rum he drank he fell in love with his heritage. The love she that Dave develops with a native girl is not one that can be lightly passed up, for in the end it is the beautiful girl that gets rid of the older brother and makes possible the grand family reuniting finish. As Dave, Andrew Bishop is actually wonderful; he has never been drawn upon to the extent to which he has in "The Tidal Wave," and he has responded in a manner which has done away with any idea that he has been a "the man" who has his absolute forte. In the scenes where he faces his brother on the barren island, his delivery, both pathetic and in the intense, are all that could be asked for, and in saying this no apologies are made for the fact that it is "stock." It takes downright merit that he has the power of making sure he said for the work of Clarence Muser, we have grown to look for much in the work of Mr. Muse, but he will have to conjure up something which has never shown to surpass his work as Joe Merrick, from a light comedy character in parts, he has an opportunity to synụ you with real sensational acting, his female long-term development in�, and his scene with his wronged brother in the denouement on the island. Cleo Desmond as Ruth Peabody, as usual, did not overplay, and was the same lovable creature as she always is in parts of the sort. Arthur T. Ray as he was associated to each-comber, did his visual final style, and left it no more than right to say that it would be hard to find his equal in the characterization of parts of the kind; he has an inflection and deflection that he has mastered to the extent that a whole BIG BATTLE Billy King and Sylvester Russell Do Stunts on 35th Street There was a world of excitement at 35th street and Prairie avenue last Sunday afternoon. The occasion marked the meeting of Billy King, the famous comedian, and Sylvester Russell, the comedian. And Sylvester Russell, the comedian, was headed east and the former west, with neither one showing any inclination to sidetrack for the other. The resultant collision furnished amusement for the multitude who were parading at the time and the fur fawning took on every appearance of a midsummer snowstorm. Billy showered a hand grenade to the jaw of Sylves and then Sylves, not to be outdone, shammed a broken knuckle to Billy's right eye. He windows as well as the tender skin of the actor. In the double bombardment which followed there was so much racket and speed that it would have taken an eight-eyed man two weeks to glimpse. During the moles Sylve had to shape the face of shape. He made a dash for the middle of the street, but with bulldog tenacity Billy swung on his coat tails. It was here that Sylid did his arm spiral and he did it so fast that he fought for fifty revolutions. They spun back to the sidewalk, and to the delight of the select audience Billy wrapped the famous critic's coat-tail around a troll pole, binding him to a tight that he could not escape. A vuln attempt to duck the now purifying performer's bread-hooks. After it was all over Billy sat down on a "Keep Chicago Clean" box, while his classic opponent did a sprint around the corner. Howard Draw looked like a platter. They both declare that the war has just begun. Ol, ol. BOOST And the World Boosts With You. KNOCK And You Knock Alone. is as music to the ears. Lillian Elliam as Sampson, another of the beach-combing clan, developed a lot of comedy; Lillian is a fine performer, and deserves all the praise that indulgence will allow she should pay a little more attention to the make-up of her characters; carelessness along this line detracts interest from her work. H. L. Pryor, as Thorpe, the oversayer, was convincing and carried himself in the manner characteristic to men in the Poodle Chas. Moore gave a characterization which was of the highest standard, doing the part exactly as it should have been done, and as Mrs. Merrick, Eliza Hassan, as Mrs. Merrick, show what the lovable and loyal mother actually means in real life. She has her chance here, and Elizabeth more than delivers, and her scene with Dave Finish is one that calls for real acting. The Grand Billy King and company are playing a musical tab called "The Con Man," and it is a laugh from beginning who had a lot of cash left, and she wants to get a pet on which to spend her affections. Howard Kelly, playing the part of a coarse hustler, dislikes the rich man and takes him around to the widow's house, telling her about how cleverly the dog has been trained. The fact that the rich widow puts the dog into the rich man is a guarantee in itself that there is a link connected with the offering, but before the widow has ever seen the pair, Kelly has used his pal for everything from a scarecrow to a marble statue to a bank teller and many money. There are some musical numbers, too-"Rolling Stones" by James Reed; "Real Kind Mamma," by Bessie Whitman, and "You're Just Like a Mamma," by James Reed. The closing song has Billy King and company singing "Cotton Bales." Other acts are Toga Jaws, with the usual oriental routine; Eleanor Tway company is a neat novelty and lines in a clever melange of talk and songs. The Monogram There are four excellent acts on the bill here this week. Essie Whitman of the famous Whitman sisters is doing a simple after an absence of many years, and she just as attractive as ever and puts her songs and talk over in the most approved style. She is exceedingly clever and was greatly applauded by her sisters, and her sisters have returned and are singing many new songs and using new dialogues. They are exceedingly well and can be safely called real "monochrome" favorite. Whitman Taylor, a male team, have a good routine of singing, talking and dancing and their work was accorded a good amount of hand. Kemple and Yaughn talking and dancing novelty, which went well. BILLY KING & CO. The last half of the present week at the Grand theater will see Billy King & Co. playing one of the funnest of all their musical comedies. It is called *The Musical Comedy*, and it screams from start to finish. The story tells all about the initiation of Bill Spivins into the Masonic order, and there is so much excitement and amusement attached to the different lines of initiation that it would take a while for the audience to be a tah that Mr. King wrote for howis only, so if you can't howl the Grand will be a poor place for you the last half. In addition to many new song numbers, there will be some dancing features that will surprise as well as be a great last half at this popular theater. Don't miss it. Classy Callers. Way in the wee small hours, when a fella would think that no action was possible aside from the ticking of his trusty Oliver or the pounding of his fella's paw in his mouth on Monday midnight, Mrs. Lena Solomon and Lulu Bell Winborn, accompanied by C. F. Collins of 6526 Eberhart avenue, at whose home both of the handsome ladies are stopping. The two ladies are powerless, each town can lay claim to whatever home is due to the fact that the Old Roll Top Desk Man hails from that Fordered berg, and they were looking exactly like ready cash. This latter has grown so bad that the natives of the City of Straits this can be attributed to the fact that they all make big money in that town or because they flash in order to show the Roll Top Man up is yet to be done. The bigger they come the better they look and as both ladies appeared to be doing well over the "perfect 36", made standard by Cleo Desmond, we are forced to do a little cogitating. But we are happy that they called and we are happy that they came. Give us the Michigan girl every time—that is outside of Cincinnati. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER A NOTE OR TWO Two Days at Owl "To Hell With the Kaiser" to Bo Seen at Popular Owl Theater "To Hell With the Kaiser," the great seven act Screen Classie, Inc., opens for two days, Saturday and Sunday of this week, at the Owl theater, Stitte, near 47th street. It is the most vital world war. It strips bare the vile soul of Wilhelm of Hohenzollern and shows the plot by which he and his "Potsdam gang" hoped to get possession not only Europe, America, but also show the final destination of this monarch, as well as relating his cruel deeds on earth. A great cast has been chosen to interpret this magnificent picture. Lawyer, Tell, a beautiful star of both stage and screen, plays the leading feminine part of Alice Monroe. Betty Howe does a wonderful bit of work as her sister, the Belgian convent at the hands of the crown prince. Frank Currier plays the part of Prof. Monroe, and John Surland, himself an aviator, plays show Dodge, a flight seen in spectacular fashion, which have a strong bearing on the story. "To Hell With the Kaiser" has some of the most unusual features ever seen in a photo drama. The closing scenes contain a genuine surprise, combining a battle scene in which airmen are shown in those accursed regions to which his base record has destined him. Scenes among the American soldiers in the trenches are shown, and a genuine air battle of two opposing air forces are produced of pages of history are uncovered to show Frederick III of Prussia and the instructions of the present kaiser in his war policies by Bismarck—then the events leading up to the present sacrificing of the flower of nations. Rotating pictures, showing that love and loyalty will outlive a thousand wars. Don't miss seeing this great feature.

He had just blowed in from Cleveland, Michigan, and was amusing musical studio at 227 East, 40th street is looking like $1,000,000, and he has a bank roll that would choke an elephant.

It is in seven acts and in part the story is this: At the death of Frederick III of Prussia his son, Wilhelm II, succeeds his father, theacy of the Hohenzollern family is exiled. He withered arm, as well as in the weak degeneracy of the crown prince. Bismarck, Frederick's adviser, shows the kaiser some secret plans for the subjugation of the different countries of the kaiser and his spring of 1814 the kaiser and his nephew put these plans into execution. Zeppelin submits his plans for air supremacy, Von Tirpitz makes known his scheme for submarine warfare, and Von Hindenburg discloses his military projects. Intending to perfect wireless operations, he sends for Prof. Monroe, an American. Prof. Monroe and his daughter Alice are taking leave of his younger daughter, who is being educated in a Belgian school, and is discovering a wireless invention by means of which messages can be sent direct, without being intercepted. Although Winslow Dodge, an attachment of the legionnaire, is first place in Alice Monroe's room, her admirers is Rupert Graubel, an actor in the Royal theater, Graubel is ordered to impersonate the kaiser so he can attend to more important things appearing in his stead before the populace. The actor boasts to Alice of the honor that has been bestowed upon him. The kaiser has demanded position. Prof. Monroe discovery, he apparently compares it with a package to court. However, it contains nothing more secret than the American flag, which the kaiser in baffled mode holds. The scientist refuses to make a bow and with Alice leaves for Belgium. In the meantime scenes of horror have taken place in Belgium and Ruth Monroe has fallen a victim to the crown prince. She is dying when her husband, the captain of the party of German soldiers pass with the crown prince at their head Prof. Monroe rushes out and denounces him. He is shot down. Ruth dies and Alice is taken to the hospital in pursuance of her plan to wind Graubel around her little finger to reach the kaiser. Wilhelm, consulting his war map, makes a partition of the countries of the world, giving one to Alice and another to the crown prince he gives the United States. A year later the Americans are in the front line trenches. Dodge is in the aviation corps. Graubel has his plane and the crown prince she follows him to Belgium. Dodge to come with an aerial force when she gives him the signal. She returns to her lodging to receive the crown prince. He informs her that his wife is dead and that she comes with an army of aeroplanes. Wilhelm is captured and imprisoned and then banished to a barren island. There his only associates are swine, and he does not fit to associate with human beings. He goes mad and leaps into the sea.

SEE HOW A VICTIM OF THE CROWN PRINCE'S LUST IS AVENDED BY A YANKEE MAIDEN! 2,000 PEOPLE THREE DAYS, S 2 P. M. TO MIDNIGHT STAT "THE VAMPIRE" This is not a steal nor a copy of "A Fool There Was" but a play that has stood the test of the theater-going public as one of merit and interest. "The Vampire" is not a white slave play, a problem play, a political play, a religious play, an immoral play nor a sensational melodrama. It is an upstart story with tense dramatic situations; a genuine play of heart interest, with laughter-chasing tears. This play has aroused the widest discernible end over America. It is stamped endurely with mind every man and woman who sees it. It has aroused great audiences in the principal cities to an enthusiasm inspired by few plays and typifies the art of the theater. It flashlights the impulses that uplift and ennoble him. It depicts the emotions that tear his heart and fortune his soul. Like real life, it is full of sunshine and an shadow, of smiles and teasing. It is a tense and thrilling. Its examples of stage realism are striking, particularly the one depicting the decks of a crowded ocean liner during the hubbub of the hour. It is here that the keynote of a vivid and vivil theme is sounded. The dramatist has constructed a real life play. The daily newspapers record them with tragedies of similar import, and yet this play has its scenes of buoyancy and breeze comedy, and sparkles with satirical epigrams. One moment the theater resounds with laughter; the next an audience is held spellbound. It is emphatically a play of contrasts, and its moral lessons are wholesome and enduring. Especially suited to stock companies, as it affords wonderful parts for the entire cast and the love story is beautifully interwoven. E. AZALIA HACKLEY Detroit, Mich., Aug. 23.—The people of Detroit are looking forward with enthusiasm to the festivals val which is to hold on Saturday night at Armory auditorium.

BARRETT The high regard in which Charles V. Barrett is held by prominent members Barrett is held by prominent members of the legal fraternity among our Race is evidenced by the strong indorsement given his candidacy by such friends, F. L. Barnett, Albert B. George, Faustin Delaney and Hale G. Parker. In speaking of Mr. Barrett, Mr. Morris, Mr. Barnett, and Mr. George, the bar of our Race, said: "I wish him success in his candidacy for member of the board of review. From my long experience I am sure that he is fully qualified to fill the office. I personally know that every man and woman will be able to work with me, and that—to that is, fair treatment and square dealing without regard to what race they belong. I know him to have the same man and woman as he would have them treat him. My hope is that he will receive the nomination and after he is elected to the office which he seeks." F. L. Barnett, who was for seventeen years one of the assistant state's attorneys of Cook county, said: "I have Barnett, who is now a candidate for the Republican nomination for member of the board of review, for a number of years, and will properly put before the people of my Race, will receive spontaneous favor." During Mr. Barnett's long term as assistant state attorney he was well known and respected by lawyers at the bar, his considerate treatment and fair and impartial dealing in the handling of all cases in the county were one of the stakes stamped him as one who lived beyond the pale of prejudice. The office sought by Mr. Barnett deals with the taxes affecting the property right of the county, and intends acquaintance with him I can assure all of my friends that the most humble citizen, regardless of his race or condition, will be treated with the same degree as the wealthiest property owner. Hon. Hale G. Parker, who has practiced law in this city for a number of years and who is recognized as a man of integrity and standing, sold of Mr. Barrett: "I am very glad to hear of the candidacy of Charles V. Barrett for the Republican nomination for member of the board of review, because it gives me stability and standing, sold of Mr. Barrett to elect a real friend of the Colored people. "I have known him and his brother, Jerry Barrett, and his years. I know that while Charles V. Barrett was an assistant state's attorney, the Colored man received the same fair treatment as a white man, and I MAKE THE SOLID BOYS HAPPY BY BEING A KASHMIR GIRL "Beauty is only skin deep," says an old adage. When you think of it, however, that is deep enough. It is especially deep enough if you are willing to pay heed to the "Kashmir Way." There is no question but what beauty is an inspiration everywhere. In all places and in all ages women of beauty have been an inspiration to men. The more beautiful the women the greater the inspiration. For a beautiful woman a man will even dare to die. Women have not they have been the constant inspiration of officers and privateers. The picture of the soldier, the mind of the soldiers have been the means of urging them on to battle with the foe in order that those loved ones, in all that loveliness, might have the liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What has always been true in that respect is true today in the world's most diverse cultures, and thousands of our boys are at the battle front in France; thousands and other thousands are here preparing to go. Woman, what are you prepared to do? Physically beautiful in order that you may be of the greatest inspiration to your brother, husband or sweetheart you are to "The Kashmir Way" offers to you the greatest opportunity. It is a patriotic duty for you to develop physically as well as mentally and spiritually. The beauty vanity has passed away and the new woman takes pride in her personal appearance, which produces charms that make for greater success and happi- Have you received a copy of the Kashmir DeLuxe Beauty Book? Well, you can send it to the Kashmir Chemical Company, Dept. D, 812 So. Clark street, Chicago, Ill. A book pro- illustrated will be sent you at once. If you are a little more energetic you will not only advance, along beauty culture lines, but extra money for yourself, "there is not a better opportunity than making it." Kashmir is the Kashmir boy at the front he happier when they know you are a "Kashmir Girl" KASHMIR know that in Judge Barrett's court a Colored man always gets a fair trial. I shall do all I can for him, because I know that he will be safe and we will have an honest man in office. "These are golden moments for the Colored people of this country—the moments so full of opportunity to lift, to power men, to power women not only make them safe for colonization, but also safe for its Colored citizens, who now so uncompellingly are sacrificing their lives for a genuine world democracy. We must have Charles V. Barrett as an exceptional instance of courage and ability." Albert B. George, a well known and successful attorney with offices in the Ashland block, spoke of Mr. Barrett as he made up of men of the highest grade and from my long acquaintance with Charles V. Barrett I know that he measures up to the highest requirement, and his tenure of office as assistant state attorney that he was a thorough American, honest, fearless, and broad-minded; that in doing his duty he was absorbed in the creed or nationality; that the Colonel man received just as fair treatment as the whites, and I further know that he came by these traits naturally, for his intelligence, and his election to the bench, has earned a far-reaching reputation for absolute fairness to every class and every people, whether rich or poor, white or black. "I wish that every member of my Race knew him as I do, and I shall exert every possible effort and wholesome influence within my power to enable his nomination in the primaries." Faustin D. Delaway, one of the younger members of the bar, said of the candidacy of Mr. Delaway that him as eminently fit for membership on the board of review. His long experience as a public official, his rare exception of ability as a lawyer gives him a far superior fighting ability. Simply qualify him to sit in judgment on the property rights of his constitution. "I deem it a pleasure to indorse his candidacy and to recommend him to my friends." It can be easily discerned from the above statement that the candidacy of Charles Barrett is impetus from our people of fundamental importance. It behooves every one man to manifest an interest in his candidacy and to impress upon his friends and neighbors the necessity of having a man on the board of review whose fair treatment of all the people has been witnessed by the leading members of our Race.

Harding entertained the Second ward organization at his palatial club house, 831 East 31st Street, Thursday, August 15. The occasion was the presentation of a loving cup to Congressman Martin B. Madden, who sailed Saturday, August 17, for France. The loving cup was presented by Senator Samuel A. Ettleson, who delivered a very able and well appointed address. He emphasized that the presentation of this cup carried with it the devotion and true friendship of a loving constituent which was beyond the value of gold. Senator Harding had caused to be arranged a very elaborate spread for the occasion and after the speech making, the line of march to the food and beverage counter were crowded with those who thought to appease their hunger and quench their thirst. The senator spared neither pains nor expense in his preparation for the brethren who were invited to do honor to the occasion. And the brethren showed their high appreciation by liberally indulging in the libations of "jove." There was an altercation in the sheep department at Armour's a few days ago and the report is that the white man who was the aggressor was let off the hook and a member of the Race was "fired." The man who work there claim that Mr. Otto (white) should have "fired" both or should have taken both back. There was a fight between the two and firing, and if Mr. Otto wants the good will, respect, peace and harmony of all in his department he should treat all alike. Big Four Leave for the East Wm.

AMERICAN GIANTS BLANK THE JOLIETS, 1 TO 0 Kaiser Better Not Underestimate the Fighting Ability of 'Our Boys' SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1918 AMERIC Kaiser Better Not the Fighting Ab By A. Spink The kaiser is poking fun at some of our troops in England and France and says they will not fight. The kaiser is not as well posted on the Negro as a fighter as are some people in this country. I have seen the gameness tested many a time in the prize ring and better fighters than the bloks I have never seen. There is a stone in Baltimore which marks the last resting place of George Washington, the featherweight pugilist of America, and later the lightweight champion. Some one has had engraved on this stone the words: "Hit the gamer fightter that ever lived." I saw Dixon in many a battle and I can remember the tense battle on his tombstone. And there have been other Negro boxers nearly as game and successful as Dixon. I perhaps have seen an exhibition perhaps on many art than given by Peter Jackson, then champion heavyweight of Australia, and then the boxer who called him down Boston was that when George was one of the A. B. C.'S WALLOP NEW YORK RED CAPS Indianapolis, Aug. 13—Taylor A. B. C's showed the easterners how the baseball game is played in the West at Washington Park, when they defeated the Cats in five games. In the first contest they played hard, but managed to keep his hits well scattered, and won the contest, while in the second game Manager Taylor A. B. C's played Williams because of the great number of off-side hitters on the New York team. His choice was good, as Joffries had only five hits and won his game, 5 to 4. The base running of the A's was too much for the Red Caps. Time after throwing the ball, the New Yorkers would start running the ball, with the result that the play usually ended with one of the eastern players throwing the ball away. How the Cats' catcher, was remarkable, he cutting down seven runners in the second game. Mukes was on the hill in the fat game and was nicked rather hard, but he kept his hits well scattered, except in the third inning, when four hits were made, with only one run being Start in First Round The A's went right after the Red Caps in the first inning of the first game. Silvieley singled to right and then scored the bag on Pearce's perfect throw. Silvieley went to third and continued home on Baynard's poor throw to third, while Lyons was being extinguished and ran to first to make the putout. On Charleston's fielders' choice Mallarher scored, and Oscar went to second and then stole third, where he was caught and scored the fourth round on three hits. Three more blows in the next round counted one more run. The Red Caps got one tally in the second round and scored the fourth session. However, Dismukes was in hot water of the time and only sensational fielding by Clark and other members. local team kept him from being stood on more than he Probably one of the greatest catches ever made in Washington Park was a catch by Charles Stabler of Charleston stabbed a drive in right center that was labeled three bases. Parks grabbed a toe-hold as the first man up in the third round and sent the ball to Stabler. Charleston was away with the crack of the bat and by wonderful, speed reached the ball with his gloved hand. He was given a huge round of cheers. Jeffries Has the Stuff In the second game Jeffries was on the hill and the port-sider had a huge amount of stuff and only five hits were taken. Jeffries was called 4 at 5 o'clock as the game was called at 6 o'clock. In the seventh round the Red Caps got to Jeffries and collected three runs on two bats and came within one run of Jeffries in the third round. Jeffries only walk and want to second on Calver's hit to right. Pearce singled to center and the bases were full. Jeffries hit the third round and runs crossed the plate. On Cummings' fielder's choice, the third tally counted. Bailey then grounded to B. Taylor. The A. A. got to towel the third inning for six hits, which were good for three runs. Four hits in the fifth round were good for two more runs. Chalreastron's hitting in this concluding game was out of three and for a double Lyon and Taylor also connected for long drives.

Local Fighters at Camp Grant Philips, and John Perkins, local appla- nants and artists of the fistic art, have and are stationed at Camp Grant. C4-C513 crackerjack fighters of the heavy brigade. They two fought a battle in 1888 before the California Athletic club in San Francisco, the longest fight in Jackson's career on this side up to the time, and which he won in nineteen games. One of the games of that decade. To the students of boxing none better could be selected for analysis. Two of them helped their utmost from the very start. Jackson Wonderful Fighter Godfrey, with skillful impetuosity, pluck and stamina, maintaining his reasoning capacity throughout from his quilting to his feedly praised; nothing more could be said—words enough. His keeping his senses alert to the end and stopping—quitting—when all was lost beyond him, only to emphasize the many man. Jackson, illustrating every phase of the game, Queensberry, with a hiatus at the end of the year, cross-buttock throw in the second round), showed his wonderful mastery of the boxer's art. His delight in the retreat, peculiarly his own, was wonderfully suited to his build. As he started to jump backward, his bobbin held up to the left arm, his long left arm, quickly extended, with open hand, enabled him, with the tips of his fingers touching the other with a kind of "Don't touch me, please," movement, to save himself from harm. His long lead lead was a beautiful movement, precision exemplified; never overpowered, power enough behind it to faint an ox. Whitest Man in Ring This left-hand lead, so ably employed by all old masters, seems to be a lost art with the modern; or exceptional, at least. Jackson had this to perfection, while his right-handers were not forgotten by his opponents. He was said about his long-range work, much can be said about his short-arm or in-fighting. At this he was a marvel, although he did not like it—as he expressed it. "A long-range work, but don't believe he thought it." His headwork, "physical headwork," was fine. It ducked or it shifted out of the way somehow. The slightest movement of attention generally speaking. "A miss in the headwork was accepted as a maxim by him. All in all, Jackson was one of the very greatest of all boxers or ring fighters. Asked from his merits as a pugilist he was a gentleman out and out, and an honor to his Race. The late George A. Knight, who nominated Mr. Taft for President of the United States, exclaimed that Jackson thusly in a speech before the club: "He is the whitest man in the ring." "Jack" in Class Alone. But there have been other wonderful Negro fighters beside Jackson and Godfrey who when it came to the pinch showed great gameness, and all of whom proved themselves wonderful fighters. Jack Johnson, Joe Jeanette, Joe Jack, Joe Valcott may be mentioned. may be mentioned in among this class, who had their gameness proved by their often and who stood the gaff well and never once showed the white feather, who had their gameness proved by their hundred years ago, one of them was a black. That was Tom Molloneaux, a jet black, who twice fought for the English championship. Twice, once in 1810 and once in 1811, did Tom face Cribb, a much bigger and more or less on both occasions he stood up and fought, fight no longer. The black man showed great gameness in both battles and man quite well rendered unconscious. They were in war and on other occasions when the Negro proved himself a brave and rame man, and if the kaiser looks so doomed to a bitter disappointment. INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE The Industrial Baseball League has had much success in the past week, inasmuch as it was possible to play the teams have been scheduled. All the teams have been scheduled, and some extent by losing players in this last draft and this has caused a little change in the dope. The Armour B. C's Smith's Freestone Premium team has some very good performances, is expected to give the bunch a hard shove. The Quartermasters, with a seemingly invincible team, surprised the team by the suffered a defeat from the Armour B. C's Mays made too many errors and the Armour boys were in the habit of hitting. It is rumored that the Libby's team had acted three new men to their squad and would make a better showing in the pennant race. The Morris Giants and Wilson Tigers are still weak, but at least they are making a better showing. As it is, it is divided into two sections, with five strong teams in the lead and three weak teams struggling at the bottom. The Red Sox are out of the pennant race, and were hardest hit by the Provost Marshall. Standing of Teams. Won. Lost. Pct. Armour B. C.'s. 7 2 778 Stawe All Stars. 6 2 750 Swift Red Sox. 4 6 000 U. S.

Fans Throw Cushion Bed At the close of the 12th inning of the Giants and Jollens Sunday, enthusiastic fans throw their seat cushions into the face. Such disorder should not take place and the number of policemen detailed there should be on hand to stop it. Several times this has happened and officers looked on with glee THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Five of America's Greatest Baseball Artists GRAND OAK In the upper picture Manager "Rube" Foster of the American Giants is telling Pitcher Whitworth how he used to foil 'em when he was playing baseball and how he can do it today, if he just listens to him. "Rube" told Whitworth Sunday and in a twelve-inning game won from the Jollets, one of the best semi-pre teams in America. The catcher is Dixon, who work better than Ray Chalk, a good hitter and a fast runner. Mendez, with the bat, the former Cuban pitcher, who now plays in the outfield for the American Giants, did some wonderful work for the day on Sunday at shortstop. He has not lost all games in the game. The other member of the team is Wickware, who has distinguished himself on the diamond as a speed ball artist. "Rube" says with these four and five more he can clean any pro on semi-pre team in the world. BIG LEAGUE BALL AGAIN Beloit's Will Tackle American Giants Sunday at 11 a.m. Day Day at Sebastian's Park. Gather around, ye fans. Sunday, Aug. 25, will be one of the biggest days in the annals of Colored baseball in the beginning, it is perhaps the last opener of the season to see four former bright shining lights of the baseball arena perform. Upon this date Wickware, Williams, Grant and Sons, all of whom are now in the league, will be given a country, will be given time off, and they will rejoin their former teammates and help hold back the invading white clubs who are making baseballs left of the once great American Giants fighting squad of the diamond. Wrist watches and other tokens of memory will be dispensed upon that day; also what is looked upon as a gift will be on tap. The Fairbanks-Morsa team, best known as the Beloits, will be the playing attraction, and if you remember only the last year to Foster's darlings, but even last year, then you know something of the treat that is in store for you. "Foster is at present in a mighty tough struggle to save his head; yes, that head or needle that has reigned supreme over all managers from time immemorial, is up for managers in their natural life, and the manner in which they fillup their rosters with big league players and the hurried and certain manner in which Uncle Sarn is shearer than the star actors is just about to turn that bad paddle of your Uncle Rube gray. But, listen. That little bunch of Americans who are still holding the ball in the ringing. This was shown when they exported a crate of gooey eggs to the prison town at the expense of the Joliet will have an opportunity to put up a strong defense Sunday. Petway will have an opportunity which he has become famous, and Gunn will circus stuff around first, and Bobby Williams will again display that arm which he used to grease the booth, and Wickware to pitch the greatest game of his career. Of course there are two games in this prediction: There is going to be some big league baseball out at the ballpark, and you can just stick a lot of these clubs show up with big leaguers and many play under assumed names, but here's the gang you have a chance to take a peek at Sunday: George Zable, former Cub, Kansas City, Toronto and Los Angeles, pitcher Bunny Hearne, former Giant, Brave Dick Kirk, former Milwaukee, pitcher Dick Kirk, former Milwaukee and Memphis, left-handed pitcher. Nate Filley, pitcher, Wisconsin semi-pros. Pete Allison, former Cub, Cleveland, Southern league, outfielder. Roy Baxter, Kansas City, Three Eye league, outfielder.

George Perring, former Cleveland, KKC Tigers, first baseman. Leo Murphy, former Columbus, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, catcher. Ray Shook, former White Sox, Three Eve leaguer, catcher.

Hill, left fielder for the Marcos, helped that team to take its first win over one of the owners of Columbus or the Colored championship of the state yesterday. The catch came in the eighth inning, when the Columbus team was making a run with a three-run single on second, with two out, when Johnson, first sacker, came to bat. He slammed a hard drive to center which looked good for a home run, but the Marcos did not. Also, all appeared the ball for the third out. In the final inning the Marcos put over the run that won the game. Cunningham, Dewitt, and Dock platoon were the only pitcher or pitched great ball.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 25TH BELOIT vs. AMERICAN GIANTS IN DOUBLE HEADER. FIRST GAME CALLED AT 2 P. M. MUSIC BY THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ BAND By Dave Wyatt. Schorling's Park weeks upon foreign territory, in which he was the first of all his new, and his family, all lavish at presenting winning presents to opponents, "Rube" Foster's political sons of the diamond returned to the home of the new, and the recipients of hearty and warm welcome, participated in by several thousand loyal admirers. The reception was not so much as a隆重, but was raged out, upon the date of the band romped out. The band, who had been in the most great what General Sherman said was was—that is, they were put to a helva, task to prevent the complete ebbing away of the band, and to make the band the tige, which, by the way, are-owed present to the whole of the world, centripetal point around which divers high-geared semi-pro (?) baseball teams have been circulating for the two years. The band is now in the world warriors drawn from all points of the big league baseball compass was the disturbing element which caused many of the old-time fanatics as well as the many old-time fans, who were so far as near go into histeria, so fierce and Hun-like was their batting. Yes, the gang with the name that sounds like the band, who had been the first to be minded they bucked the Americans' line and forced them back time and time again. However, their artillery tire was not so bad as the others, and they were certainly there with the baseball shrapnel, while the bursting shells of the battle had the crowd on their feet and scurrying to and fro, and the band was in a state of a vantage. The affair, which required twelve innings before the 1-0 decision went to the dark boys, was a pitcher's hand, pure and simple. Middleton, the band, who had been the first to have white fellows, held our folks hiltless and runless for nine innings, and only for the unfortunate fumble by his superb catcher, which allowed Hill and Barber to reach first, the big league would have earned a perfect pitching record. At any rate, his performance was not so much as a match for the other side. The runner full fifteen feet off of first. That is sufficient evidence to show that a perfect shot would have retired him. The band, who had been the other-lining no-hit effort against such a team as the Giants will create a sensation among the semi-pros, but the performance is not so much as a match for the other side, but was surpassed by one who was in this same game. Jos. Mendey several years ago pitched a no-hit, no-run game for ten- baters, and the band was the first to win so they haven't out-matched us as yet. Another point that must not be overlooked when you stop to consider what Whitworth was up against. You will have to be sure of the other side, and have the whole of a game.

C., Aug, 23—Exist- ing draft regulation as to married men ‘will continue in forco was the reply of Secretary of War Baker to Senator Chamberlain who, recently wrote the secretary, saying if [t was true that de- ferred classification of married men generally, was contemplated many son- ators would oppose lowering the pres- ent draft'age to 18 years. He stated further that: “The present situation with regard to married men in class one ts that four classes of married men are in- cluded within the limits of that class: “First, married men who do not sup- port thelr wives or families, “Second; married men whose wives support ther. “Third, married men whose wives have adequate independent means. “Fourth, married men engaged in useless occupations and who are not the main or principal support of their families, “There is no intention to change this situation, “In construing the regulations with regard to dependency of wiver and chitdren fnanciat dependency has been Tooked upon as the reason for deterred classification. This will continue to be ‘the case.” ; |_ When questioned relative to “slacker marriages,” he said: “The status of the registrants mar- ried at a time and under conditions suggesting any such purpose will be ‘iat of unmarried persons eo far as thelr classification is concerned.” | SkIp Stop” Plan Effective Sunday A, modified express service for the etty’s surface car lines, the “skip stop” plan, will become effective next Sunday morning. ‘Temporary signs denoting stops have been placed on street cor- ners this wok. ‘These will be replaced with permanent steel ones to be at- tached to trolley posts at street Inter- sections. ‘Tho plan is tn conformity with an ordinance recently passed by the city counell. ‘This action wag taken at the Fequest of the federal authorities, who declared “it would mean an immense saving In fuel used in making elec trical current for the cars, It {s proposed to have the stops ap- proximately one-eighth of a mile apart, As near a possible they will be at the thoroughfares where the numbers start In even hundreds, euch aa “100,” 200," “4500,” and 1600," Compulsory stops at boulevard crossings, grade crossings, and bridges will bo made a formerly, also at elevated raliroad sta- tlons.

THE OIL BUSINESS TODAY Never in the history of human events has one industry made so many millionaires and raised such a multitude of toiling people from squalor poverty to wealth and luxury as that great commodity, OIL. The richest man in the world owes his wealth to oil, as well as practically every gigantic trust of the power of the United States, such as Steel and Railroad Trust, the Mining Trust, the Insurance Trust, the Steamship Trust, the City National Bank of New York, the strongest bank in the United States, etc.—all owe their great power to the greatest power of them all—the Standard Oil. But until a few years ago it might stream of poured its flood of gold into the treasury vaults of the Standard Oil company until they had to find other outlets for their mighty reservoir of oil millions. Then they made and filled the treasuries of practically all the great trusts and corporate powers of OIL. This has been done under the direction and control, to a large extent, of one man and his allies. But in the last few years some of the wiser heads of the common herd waked up and began to dip down into these subterranean pools of wealth and become rich in unbelievable proportions and in more recent times more and more making people have waked up and making unprecedented opportunity until it has arrived the wolf that invaded the impoverished doors of thousands of homes and THE BUSINESS AFFAIRS OF THE ED ALONG SAFE, CONSERVATIVE OR FAVOR.

Bankers' Casualty Company Explains The application for insurance presented by Mrs. McGhee to the Bankers' Casualty Company contained false answers to questions propounded therein to the assured. The following questions were asked in the "Are you carrying or have you applied for any other accident, health or life insurance? Have you received medical attention within the past two years?" and the answer to both questions was. The application also contained this statement: that such insurance if granted to be based upon the classification of your occupation; the statements herein, whether written or printed and that the falsity of any statement herein shall bar the right to recovery hereafter if such statement is material, either in the form of a fire or the hazard assumed by the company or is made with intent to deceive." Mrs. Laura McGhee, 5414 Dearborn street, instituted suit in the Municipal court of Chicago, against the Bankers' decemity under an accident policy issued to her by the Bankers' Casualty company. She received a judgment for $65.66 and costs of court and she did not claim for the full amount claimed by her. At Your Sun Buying Bac the Oppor OIL AND GAS CO. of section thirteen, t and is making 20 ba er day for gas, and an oil produced from th e Made Fortunes Not You? transformed them into palaces of riches, luxury and ease. And yet this mighty stream of liquid gold is flowing stronger and more profitable every day. "There is a reason for this," he can run, not a light can burn, not a shiny can burn and not a wheel can turn in the countless factories and mills of industry without oil. There is nothing in all the world today that is more certain of success or with greater possibilities of wealth from a small investment than offer you the opportunity of your life to earn your own wealth. Remember, we protect you while we reach production. Can anything beat it? BACKBONE NOT WISHBONE The spineless man never make any money out of oil. The wishy-washy one, with jellyfish wishones where their backbones ought to be, who are ever hoping and dreaming of riches but never doing, have no place in the ground whether you would be an oil operator or whether you are afraid to take a chance when the odds are in your favor, stay out. The legitimate oil business is better off without you. No living man knows for a dead certainty, when he bores a hole in the ground, that there actually is oil. How much oil has been willing to take a chance no well would ever have been drilled, we never would have had any oil or gasoline. The progress of commerce and industry for the past fifty years would have been impossible without it. VALUE OF A PRODUCING OIL WELL To illustrate: If you owned a well that produced 1,000 barrels a day you could sell it for $2,000,000. The wells will withhold less than as long as your children live. There are wells in Pennsylvania that have produced oil steadily for forty years. A 100-barrel well is a slightly good well, with withhold less than a monster. The stupendous oil production from a 2,000-barrel gusher is almost beyond comprehension. It is officially reported that the Shumway No. 5 in Butler county produced in six months prefectly $2,250 a day. A 10,000-barrel well means gross receipts of $2,250 a day, or over $8,100-000 a year. Each 1,000-barrel well means a daily income of $2,250 a day, or $78,750 a year.

Officers Make Citizens Leave Douglas Park Hour Early Report comes to the Defender office that police officers in rude manner drive out the patrons of that park at 10 o'clock at night. The hour for leav- ing parks is at 1 o'clock and is the time the officers may see people seep leave and not molest them earlier than this hour. The practice of making citizens leave at 10 o'clock at the Douglas Park at 36th and Cottage Grove avenue, is unwarranted, and if this continues the matter should be taken up with the aldermen of the Second ward.

Purpose of Organization This company was organized for the purpose of drilling for oil and gas, purchasing leases of proven worth and merit in proven oil fields. We realize, as do you, that there are more well-known beekeeping companies than produced, greater and larger dividends being paid from this great industry than any other today. Although but recently organized, this company has acquired two very valuable assets in oil and gas. We feel justly proud of which we have already accomplished. The possibilities for securing large returns on money invested in conservative, properly managed companies, operating on the same basis as this company, can hardly be realized by today. The opportunities in the oil business, and especially in the Nowata field, are so enormous that it is really difficult for one to grasp the possibilities, the great chance that is being offered daily for the accumulation of large profits, even on small investments. It is realized today by the business world, by the investor, that a combination of capital is necessary in order to accomplish the big things, to produce the big profits for the many. Consequently we are giving you the opportunity to become a stockholder, to participate in the success of our company, to participate in the dividends which we are now accumulating.

Aug. 23. —A reception was tendered to 152 boys of the 13th district of the 20th ward by their relatives and friends on last Friday to the street where the demonstration took the form of a bloody purp, in which it was estimated that 2,000 persons were present.

KASYMIR CHEMICAL CHICAGO WHITENER AND CLEANSER 'AINT' THIS A SHAME Parks and playgrounds are provided by the municipal government for the benefit of the citizens of the community. Such places were made possible by the payment of taxes and other assessments by citizens. These recreational centers were provided with certain pieces of equipment to suggest and stimulate certain forms of activity and wholesome amusements. It is really a disgrace to see how some of the playgrounds and parks are being appreciated in communities that are too much in the way they are Colored. A good example of the flagrant abuse of playgrounds can be found at 33rd and Wentworth avenue every afternoon. It seems that a type of boys and girls who have been denied the rights of seventh grade other parts of the country are failing to take advantage of their opportunity to take wholesome play and clean fun. Instead we have boys and one or two older boys of seventh grade loiter around the playground, infrontoon and shoot dice, swear, tear up property and carry on very dirty, vulgar conversations. Something ought to be done whereby these youngsters would stop disgracing themselves and the older younger boys of ten and twelve years who stand around and watch their ugly pranks. It is necessary for policemen to pass through there constantly to break up erap games. It is necessary for them to fail to understand the nuisance and should not be tolerated. Here is a record of one boy sixteen years old: His home is in Memphis. He has been in Chicago two years, having been arrested four times, seriously cut three times, usually out of rock. Persons in charge of ground are absolutely helpless and it is up to the better element of citizens to step in and get something done in the very near future in order to save the children who need some good place to play.

Mention THE DEFENDER to Advertisers It is a long way from the back woods of the South land, where years ago, Race men and women were considered as so much chattel, to the logical as well as geographical center of the oil and gas industry of Greater Kansas City, where ambitious and progressive Race men are daily forming stock companies to develop the hidden resources in the proven oil and gas sections of Kansas and Oklahoma. The Particular Oil & Gas Company, the most recent entry, capitalized for $32,000, with an official directorate, combining all those qualities essential to success, is incorporated under the Milk and Honey past weekes have opened commercial offices at 1626 E. 18th street (the hub of Negro business), Kansas City, Missouri. This company was organized to "Go After Oil" and to make money from it. No officers receiving a cent of salary: their profits will come just as profits to stockholders from oil profits alone. Every cent from net sale of stock, goes into actual developments of company's intellectual idea of attaining profitable production at the earliest date possible. In an interview with Mr. J. M. Irvine, the erudite, hustling, wide-awake president of this company, a citizen gleaned the following: "While I would not make the following recommendation for the masses of my people, I am thoroughly convinced that we should try to make a living by the sweat of our brow while the oil game's golden opportunity is constantly beckoning us. Ever since the Emancipation of our forefathers, we have been following the footsteps of the Caucasian race. In the frozen lands of the Arctic Circle we were there; in the 'No Man's Land' on the field of battle, we are preparing to fight the all mankind that no man leaves peer. In the land where oil (better known as 'Liquid Gold') is flowing, we are there replenishing our cups of depleted finance. We are not selfish—we extend a hand of welcome to all the sons and daughters of this Race of ours to join us and we will walk together to the land where we found fountain of hidden wealth that lasted for a long time—the surface of the 80-acre lease of the PARTICULAR OIL & GAS COMPANY.

ISSUES ANNUAL CALL National Equal Rights League Invites Colored Race to Assemble in Chicago, Sept. 17-19 to Get Race Organized to Push Claims for Possession of Full and Equal Democratic Rights—An Unprecedented Opportunity. To Colored Americans: The year 1918 is a time unusual and unprecedented in the history of Americans of African descent. Not only are they taking part for their country in an European war for democracy, but within two months two National Colored Editors of entirely different make-up than the government of the United States the institutions of our Race. The Conference of Colored Editors and others was called together by the War Department, to which it made complaint. The Nation-Colored Liberty Congress was called by a national committee to hold a people's convention. From both meetings good is resulting. Expressed in plain, uncompromising English, our just grievances were borne out by the Congress, the Representatives, and before the American people, by said Library Congress, and were made a prominent and pervasive part of Congressional Records. June 29, 1913. It seems providentially fortunate, therefore, that this noteworthy achievement on the part of the Library Congress is to be so soon followed by the eleventh annual convention of the National Equal Rights League, to be held in September at Chicago. Last September at the meadow tenth annual convention of our league in New York city, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, that invincible champion of equal rights, brought to us a cordial invitation to hold the league's 1918 convention on the city of Chicago, which invitation we unanimously and heartily accepted. At Chicago, Sept. 17, 19 Therefore, by the authority, vested in me as president of the National Equal Rights League, I do hereby issue this call for the eleventh annual convention of said league to convene on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, on Saturdays 17, 18 and 18, in the city of Chicago, Ill. Follow comrades of the National Equal Rights League, and others. I cannot even begin to express how urgently important it is that our people in all sections of the country should give prompt and earnest heed to this call. Let every community join this Colored liberty organization drive. Let us as a race get ready to enforce our claim to world democracy as an issue of this world war. Therefore, let us get together for organization as a race to enforce our church, civic education, democracy. Every church, civic education, democracy, political and business organization among our people, without regard to sect, sex, or party, are invited to be represented in the Chicago convention of the organization on the deliberate on the organizing of our Race for self-defense. An especial appeal is made for the quick formation of equal rights and democracy leagues to organize a national convention of sending delegates to this national convention for Race organization for liberty. Yours for equal rights, BYRON GUNNER Pres. Nakl Equal Rights League Addy. BIG LECTURE Judge William H. Harrison of Oklahoma, known as the most powerful and forceful speaker of the Race, will be the stirring lecture, "The Oath and the Church on Monday night, Aug. 1." The affair will be held under the auspices of the citizens' committee, and is for the benefit of the building fund of the Young Women Christian Association, to raise the $10,000 necessary to raise it will readily be seen that the entertainment should be supported by every person who is for the general uplift, and as there is no more worthy cause one mentioned. Aslde from the lecture should sing by a chorus directed by Prof. Jones and the reading of letters directly from our boys at the front. The price of admission is nominal and the same church should be taxed to capitate a public now to show the spirit that such a worthy cause should inspire. British West Indies Subjects, Take Notice The Antilla Protective Association of Chicago requests you to communicate at once with its secretary, James A.

Voters of All Factions Rally to His Support It will be pleasing to the supporters of our candidate to know that a recent ward canvass shows that the people of the Third senatorial district have thoroughly made up their minds that they are going to nominate Augustus L. Williams, regular Republican candidate for state senator, at the primary election Sept. 11. Already a two to one favorite, his popularity is growing in leaps and bounces, due largely to the brilliant work of some of the most prominent women of the district of Pennsylvania. Feminine sentiment is kindling a ventible conflagration of enthusiasm for Mr. Williams, which is the best possible guarantee that he is going over the top. No longer will our vision of the future be obscured by the adult audience, our own Race, who would but the way to greater achievements, for the curtain is now thrown full back and rosy realization stands undisguised before Race Man in Senate Our determination is to have a man of our own Race in the state senate, and we are going to put him there, or—well, we are just going to put him there; there is all. No need to wait; this man is unanimous in his support of the opportunity now; it may be lost to us in the future. Many times has it been said that the white man does not understand us. About the only thing he does not understand is why we do not stick more closely together at a table than at the table of supreme test is at hand. We need every vote to send Augustus L. Williams to the state senate. We are confident, but also realize that overconfidence has lost many a precious prize. The enemy is in our midst and we are not confident of Germanism is not the only dangerous propaganda that is threatening our unity. Keep a close watch for the danger signal, for "pro-Ettelsonism" is stalking destructively through the highways seeking to retard our program. Ask your neighbor if he is a Race" man, and if so, tell him to jump into the big band wagon and swell the mighty chorus for Augustus L. Williams for state senator, a man of our own trace. We have the opportunity to win. Williams is in every way eminently fitted for the high office in the state's law-making body. He has been for twenty-five years in the service of his people, clean, conscientious and does not have to apologize for his past. He is a lawyer of high repute, having had close contact with a large number of the most prominent people of Chicago of both races. Rich with experience in studying the people he knows, what to do and how to do it. Mr. Wright, supported men of his Race for office, having taken an active part, many years ago, in the Second word's young fight for alderman, when Edward H. Wright was candidate for the office. Make yourself a. committee of one to secure at least one other vote for Williams and Race advancement and show that we have not been asleep on the job. Watch for more in the next issue.—Adv.

Many reasons why Mr. Loeb or any other interest of our country at heart, should not be over the races. It is surprising that he, on a school policy favoring segregation he arises because children of one race are with content upon those of another race, an established prejudice has increased rather than for other restrictions. To know an acres of unjustified dislike of him, and to be to destroy all opportunity for them to be qualities of each other.

It came like a bolt of lightning out of a clear sky and struck not where it could do any damage, but where the clay was hard enough to force a rebound. We quote a portion of his letter: "The Colored population has increased largely since the war in warren northern industrial cities. Colored attendance in the public schools has grown correspondingly. How best can the race antagonisms be avoided which so often spring up when the two races are brought into juxtaposition, especially when white and Colored children are in attendance under the same teachers and in the same classes? "Do you think it wiser, when there is a large Colored population, to have separate schools for white and Colored children? If the separation came at the desire and upon the initiative of the Colored people, would the sympathetic understanding of Colored by whites, and vice versa, be heightened, or would such a separation increase prejudice and antagonism? It seems much wiser to have separation (if any at all is necessary) by voluntary action rather than through the operation of the law, **** What measures, if any, would you suggest to make less difficult the relationship of the races in the field of public education?* There are many reasons why Mr. Loeb or any other citizen claiming to have the best interest of our country at heart, should not attempt to stir up friction between the races. It is surprising that he, especially, would consider for a moment a school policy favoring segregation based upon racial lines only. Friction arises because children of one race are taught and encouraged to look with contempt upon those of another race. Wherever segregation has been established prejudice has increased rather than decreased and opened the door for other restrictions. To know an individual is to destroy all chances of unjustified dislike of him, and to separate school children racially is to destroy all opportunity for them to know and appreciate the good qualities of each other. It means they will grow into manhood and womanhood with that distinct acquaintanceship of master and servant which prevails in the South. It may be argued that equal accommodations will prevail for all, but were this to be carried out, and it never has been, would that justify any people or race in stultifying and sacrificing its self-respect and honor for a mess of pottage? Would a proposition of this kind be entertained or considered for our moment if it had for its object the segregation of Polish, Jewish, Italian, or even the children of those with whom we are now at war? If we are good enough to shoot Germans abroad we certainly should not be denied the privileges that have not been denied the enemies of our common country. Why should it be necessary in Chicago, in the state of Lincoln and Grant, to even mention segregation? Is this Texas or Mississippi? If so the motive could be understood. It is by no means a constructive measure, but rather a destructive one, in that it destroys the individual and racial self-respect which can only exist with full rights of citizenship, without which no race can attain its greatest development, but must steadily deteriorate into racial decadence that so often is the cancer eating into and destroying the heart of the national whole. At this time when we are giving our all to free Belgium, Serbia, Roumania and other countries under the voke of oppression; at a time when our President has initiated a campaign to lessen racial friction and to unite all of the various peoples back of the one object, that of winning the war, whoever originates or suggests a movement, however unintentional, subversive of harmony, a movement savoring of class legislation and prejudices, one that can only result in dissension and feeling, may be justly suspected of rendering aid and comfort to the cause of the enemy. As a member of a race that has known so much oppression and injustice, Mr. Loeb should be the last one to advocate and support a separation based upon race. When our boys who are now in France return to find that in the country for which they have fought and bled, in the city long known for its cosmopolitan justice, their children are no longer permitted to sit in the same room or receive their knowledge from the same fount as are other children, including those of their recent antagonists, but are labeled and set aside because the Chicago school system meekly bowed its head and catered to prejudice and petty aversion, they will be amply justified in believing their sacrifice was all in vain.

THERE WAS A TIME not so long ago when newspapers made mention of us only in a derogatory way, and the stories had large captions, such as Big Fort Negro Arrested," "Darkey Slashes With a Razor," and other illuminating headings. Among other things the war is responsible for the bringing of the war to the masses, qualities found in our little aggregation. The big dailies are devoting front page space to our deeds of daring and to accord us the 100 per cent American test to which we "NEGROES" ARE "OUR BOYS", TOO, is a fair sample (mostly cited). Our heart some editors have undergone, and under this caption we find: Attention has been called to the fact that we have a 'coolish' aristocracy here in the North, quite as 'snobbish' as that of the South, as negotiated the Negro. It is reported that when our selectmen go away to war the crowds along the curb go by that it is a great job, but seem to think when the Colored troops go by that it is a great job. Pershing has reported back from France that our Colored troops over them are the best of our fighters and are doing their full share to help win the war. Indeed, it is bad taste, here in the North especially, to smile or sneer at Colored soldiers. They are Americans. Any soldier that wears the khaki, or female, and this retardation of the sneers of any "home bird," made us悲愤. We are above the sneers of any "home bird," made us悲愤. Junius B. Woods, writing in the Daily News, tells the world of the soldier's solidarity bearing and loyalty of our boys as expressed by Gen. Perching and us for we are military officials in the allied forces. At home we are working just as earnestly as we are rightly entitled to be in the sun. But we must not be overconfused with our own importance. Like a saddle who, after throwing overboard the only white man on board, assembled in the cabin, throw out their chests and said in unison: "Lawd, what a power for we are military officials in the allied forces over dangerous ground and it is imperative, if we wish to arrive at our destination safely, that we sit quietly in the saddle. The time to celebrate is after we have passed the last milestone. Let us put no obstructions in the path of the things that have started our way.

CHICAGO DEFENDER CHICAGO AUG.24,1918 New Haven Lawyer Condemns Action of Max Loeb To Separate Schools in Chicago New Haven Lawyer Condemns Action of Max Loeb To Separate Schools in Chicago The inquitous design upon the part of Max Loeb in his broadcast propaganda schools in this city has caused interesting comment from representative members of our Race all over the country. Heears from communications we have received since this infamous letter was sent out that Max Loeb has attempted a nation wide effort of disfusion that indeed a mystery that one of his race has been a victim of race hatred and discrimination. That such base ideas be conceived in America has been a victim of race hatred is almost believable. At a time when all Americans who believe that the paramount issue before the American people to be a race hatred stamping out German kultur wherever ours is to understand how this "advocate" of the spirit of the "Hun" could make bold to champion an issue against which we have thousands of our sons to give their lives that it might be forever banished. Citizens Protest Vigorously "That this declaration should be made against a people who have committed their resources, their man power, their loyalty, their devotion and untiring energy, their courage and their blood, they be preserved at the cost of their blood, is indeed an unfortunate commentary on the vision of the man who stands before us, and the fact that it not rests well the sign of the times if it ignores for a moment that he can put through this propaganda without some very serious protest, because, as it will to American arms, it would be sad for us to contemplate that after we had made the supreme test that our government should have done, we gave the nation to those who went forth where battle raged and offered their life's blood for the establishment of a new and permanent democracy without Letter From Connecticut New Haven, Conn.

I am not in favor of separation, having negotiation of separation, colonization in the public school system. Colored teachers are teaching Colored white children and white children is accepted as a matter of course and there is no serious race friction. I am surprised that the teacher you ask could even be thought of as a teacher city like Chicago. And may I add further that it is a distinct disappointment to find a member of your school to engage in education pertaining any such ideas. I do not-mean to be offensive, but you have solicited my frank judgment. In your suggestion that I is even going to remote ideas of what is going on around you in progressive Negro leadership. I predict that you will find in the answers to your questionnaire a difference with the ideas contained therein. Your communication contains one interesting phrase. You speak to students in your school factory to both whites and Colored." My dear sir, to solution of any problem affecting race rejection in country, satisfactory to the colored folk, which is based on the implication of inferiority. What you apperance do you reason behind this separation of the races and the desire for it on the part of white people is an insult to the self-respect of your name or your name that you are a Jew. Suppose the exclusive Yankee element in Chicago should put up to schools for Jews on the ground that antagonisms could be avoided" by a policy of this sort? I note further the suggestion that the policy of separation might come by "operation of law" if not "operation of justice." I think you are in error. Unless I am vastly mistaken, any effort to legalize race proscription in the state would result in the disillusionment of those who think that Colored people will any longer stand foolishly of this cart. The Negro community in Chicago should be considerable. By the way, have you read the latest report from the western front concerning the eight Illinois (Colored) regiment? As a "constructive" program which will result in greater sympathy among the races. I state the following: Make democracy in Chicago and every other city in this country a mere catch phrase signifying nothing real. I can well understand that in Germany the method would be by separation at all of vital contact. The reason which would inevitably dictate this solution is as hateful to every true American. I trust you will not consider me impertinent if I recommend to you a closer application to the way we determine its basic causes, and also its inevitable results upon caste everywhere, whether based upon wealth, birth or race. I notice you solitely a frank statement from me and suggest that you will treat it "strictly confidential." You need not treat this communication civilly. Very truly yours, GEORGE W. CRAWFORD. (Hon.

Fields The voter of the First congressional district are being asked by certain gentlemen through the circulation of a letter to the man and vote for your own. If the imposition is put upon this card in the same manner as these gentlemen intend for it to be interpreted by other people and vote for their own, the petition find themselves fostering a propaganda in which they claim they do not be interested against which we have fought for selfish numbers in this country and our small amount of wealth as well as our limited knowledge of the great question of political education of the great question of politics, we would find that our limitation of operation to be very circumscribed. We would find ourselves in a very pro-terrorist situation, whose questions arise in such bodies as the United States, where we have two votes as against sixty-eight and in the state legislature, in such bodies as the United States, and the United States Congress, with over four hundred members, out of four hundred more, it would appear to the casual observer that the rule of "Be a man and vote for your own" was religiously applied, we as a nation would obey its application. Surely this card is the sober thought of these office seekers. THE DEFENDER EDITOR Have you ever seen our editor, He's very fine, they say. For everythink he writes about It's true in every way.

The fact of the matter, the Provident hospital seems to be a rallying center—a social settlement center of the various community groups of the city of Chicago, meetings held in the parlor of the hospital nearly every afternoon or evening during the week, such as a large class is being trained there two evenings in the week, in the Park. There are various sewing circles, the King's Daughters and other helpful organizations holding their regular meetings in the parlor of this institution. The Lying In Hospital Another evidence of the expansion of Provident hospital, its connections with the exclusive Lying in hospital, located at 51st street, facing Washington Park. There are from three to five Provident hospital nurses on duty constantly attending the most practical and individually up-to-date treatment in the handling of these cases—an opportunity and much more to be coveted, and the management of such a institution is to be congratulated being able to pilot the institution, and so satisfactorily train its nurses that the nurses are solicited, welcomed as the most exclusive and wealthy institutions of this great city.

We had a patient ment in Provident hospital, and we were unable to obtain a bed for our patient. Provident hospital. Font. Graduate. Another evidence of the farsightedness of the management and the expansion of the institution, is the establishment of the hospital Post Graduate School. We congratulate the administration on the founding of this much needed institution, the first of its kind, that the president of the United States and the surgeon of the United States army have been advocating and urging the various institutions of the country to ready and prepared to take care of the various crippled and disabled soldiers, the colored men, then, too, the hospital realized that the subject of the practice of medicine and surgery would be reconstructed, re-educated, and trained in the practice and the application of all cases. Then, too, the hospital found the great necessity for the founding of this institution. In the first place, it is great to have medical schools for young men in the art and science of the practice of medicine and surgery, not only young Colored men, but its own white men, within the reach of all families that desire to brush up and pursue special courses. Another reason is there is the need for a medical school in this country, except the Post Graduate School in Medicine, that will admit, knowingly, medical men of Color in the situation on the same terms and condition that the white human race are admitted, notwithstanding we are fighting, bleeding and waking to make democracy safe for ALL mankind. We must best—our bit to protect OLD GLORY—Ah, well we are optimistic and have faith and believe that the people will make for fair play—a square deal and equal justice for ALL of the PEOPLE—and although we feel sometimes that the above mentioned principle is not all men regardless of race, color or previous conditions of servitude, yet, for the above mentioned principle, can people stand for exact justice and a democracy that will give any and all man and woman an equal opportunity to be involved in the pursuit of happiness. This Post Graduate School of Provident hospital will continue the year after the year any week, during any month in the year, by be various courses given to students in small groups and at the completion of the course. In the recommendation of the faculty certificates of tendance will be granted the student by the board of trustees. Faculty and Courses to Be Given the presenel of the faculty consist of two groups of experienced teachers along definite and particular lines. Many of these teachers now engaged in post graduate work in the city of Chicago. In fact, the faculty our best medical schools and hospitals in the city of Chicago. In fact, the faculty we the Washington Park hospital have all willingly accepted positions on the faculty of the Provident school to make this post graduate school of Provident the best school to be found anywhere in this country. Several memb We note from the outline of the courses that there will be animal and cadaver work—special courses in re-education, surgery. The form of surgery we will be great in demand and we congratulate the Provident hospital in having the Color and all others to meet this demand and constructive surgery that is sure to come in the near future. **RADIOGRAPHY.** Great attention will be paid to diagnosis and treatment by the x-ray. **DISEASES of the EYE, EAR, NOSE and THROAT.** Special courses in the eye, ear, nose and throat will be given by both Colored and white experts. **DISEASES OF CHILDREN.** Courses covering the various diseases and conditions will meet in general practice will be given. INTERNAL MEDICINE. Special courses in this subject will begin every week, such as disease of the lungs, diseases of the stomach, of the heart, of the kidneys, etc., and finally we note that courses will be outlined that special courses will be given to special diseases with special laids upon the subject of syphilis and gonorrhoea; comment our readers not look closely at the students. Students may come to this school—spend from two to four weeks—take one or more special courses and re-enter the respective communities. This a rare and splendid opportunity for men to brush up—refreshen their knowledge along special lines. Enter in week the month, any month in the year, excepting Sundays and holidays.
