COURT FINES CONVICTED LYNCHERS Alabama Throws No Shadow of Gallows Into Murderers Path Do Your Xmas Shopping Early Patronize Our Advertisers Vol. 1.—No. 24. MUH SOUTH VAL LIFE AT COURT FINES CONV Alabama Throws No Sha Murderer On Nov. 23, in an Alabama paper, appeared in some ten lines the report of the release of twelve white men, who had been charged with the death of Feraule Foulral, white, and who, in expiation for their crime paid fines ranging from 100.00 to $300.00. The laconic statement of this astonishing fact is highly significant. In an American paper the plain statement of the fact that a man's life in Alabama is worth from $100.00 to $300.00. What sort of justice is this? What sort of people are they who interpret the laws in such a manner? What sort of a state is it that tolerates such proceedings? SHOWS SPIRIT OF SOUTH. No better indication of the spirit of the south and the psychology of the southerner can be gained then from this bare statement, no better refutation of the alleged civilization of the south can be had than this. The irony of such a condition of affairs in a State which is supposed to be representative of its section of the country is alarming. That murder should be punished by death or imprisonment, is the cornerstone upon which modern civilization is built. It is the fundamental principle that distinguishes modern culture from the aye of barbarianism. Alabama in recognizing this outrageous procedure in inscribing upon her statute books this dastardly decision as an example for later generations of law breakers: to follow has not only disgraced a name hundreds of times disgraced before, but has dragged the whole south deeper in the mire of beastiality, into the frightful mors of Beauregard Mosely Passes Away B. F. Mosely, owner of the Idlewild Hotel and formerly an attorney in this city died Tuesday evening, Dec. 2. Mr. Mosely was a shrewd business man and acquired early training in Georgia. He studied law in a Louisiana office and came to Chicago in 1896. Mr. Mosely was a politician and supported Medill McCormick for Senator and also toured the country in interest of the late President Roosevelt. Senator McCormick was at his bedside a few hours before death came. Mr. Mosely was placed in ill favor during the riot because of an able aged statement he made to the effect that this was a white man's country. His friends trust that the memory of his good deeds wil outweight the unfortunate evil that man is prone to commit. May his soul rest in peace. SUBSRIBE FOR "THE WHIP" TODAY --- THE CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY lynch laws and all that lynch laws entail. VERIFIED REPORT. We call "Shame Alabama!" We see the red leer of Judge Lynch and demand reparation. Indeed we felt this case to be of such importance that we were led to verify the report. We read that it was a white man who had been lynched and refused to believe it. Thus to assure ourselves of its authenticity, we wrote to Miss... of Buguinette, Ala., asking first whether the whole thing was true and whether the man lynched was really white. The reply we received is as follows. Dear Sir:— Foranlr Foulral was not a white man. He was a Colored farmer. He was lynched by the twelve men you mention because he refused to sell an old horse of his which these men wanted for (God knows what). He lived just outside the town on the Bayou road. His mother, 86 years old, lived with him. He had no other relatives. The men broke into his cottage at night, took Foulral out of bed and strung him up in his own back yard. His poor mother died of fright. CONTRAST BETWEEN ALABAMA AND ARKANSAS. The contrast between this case and that of the 87 Colored men now in prison in Arkansas for investigation in riots in Phillips County is startling. Here twelve white men are merely fined for the deliberate murder of a defenseless Colored farmer, and in Arkansas twelve Colored men are doomed to immediate death for alleged crimes which they had not even the chance of employing legal aid to clear themselves. A Miracle! HARVEY B. WATKINS TO QUIT RACES Authentic rumor is that Harry A. Watkins has asked for the political sponge in the coming race for Ward Committeeman. When interviewed a few days ago as to his outlook in regard to politics in general and Ward Committeemen, the Big Real Estate man smiled broadly and said, "The Harmony crowd bids fair to smother all contestants who are not playing in the Harmony bowl." He is to be heard himself at the Harmony Banquet. Come on Harry and tell us about it. Suit to Come Up According to reliable reports it is said that the suit which he has against the Chicago Defender will be tried during his stay. The Steamship Frederick Douglas which is the first to be owned and commandered by Negroes sailed a few days ago and wireless say that she has anchored safely into several British ports which were scheduled on her interyn. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1919 Church Will Assist in the Light Against Illiteracy The First Congregational church, colored, is joining the campaign against illiteracy in Georgia. C. J. Haden presented the cause at the morning service yesterday, and in response to the appeal of the partor, Rev. H. H. Proctor, fifteen of the members volunteered as teachers. Classes will be operated in the institutional department of the church Tuesday and Thursday nights of each week, from 7 to 9 o'clock. The admission to the classes is free, and both adult and youthful illiterates are invited to join the classes. At the evening hour Dr. Proctor spoke on "The A. B. C.'s of the Gospel," stressing the value of spiritual literacy. He dwelt on the universality of sin, the cure of selfishness and the appeal of the gospel. The Thanksgiving offering was the largest in the history of the Church, and was as follows: C. B. Bullard, $400; F. P. Raiford, $293; J. O. Ross, $300; W. M. Woodall, $1,536; total, $2,529. Governor Commends Work of Negro Bishop Little Rock, Ark., November 29. Governor Brough commended the work of the Negroes under the leadership of Bishop J. M. Conner, in an address before the African Methodist Episcopal conference of Arkansas in Bethel A. M. E. Church, Ninth street and Broadway. Referring to Bishop Conner, Governor Brough said: "He is a sane and careful leader of his people. I have the highest regard for him. He is putting forth and effort to rid his people of ignorance. Education is the salvation of all races." The conference opened with the scrutiny of the official and religious character of each minister. While all passed without a black mark, Bishop Conner reminded them that there were complaints against some ministers because of their failure to pay debts. He declared that he was not elected to collect debts, but that the man who would not pay a debt was dishonest and not qualified to be a leader of the people. Cr. C. M. Townsend spoke on the work and leadership of Bishop Conner and said that he had done much to cement the friendly relation between the races in this section of the country and Oklahoma. Shorter College, headed Dr. S. L. Green, president, visited the conference yesterday afternoon in a body. An effort is being made to pay the college out of debt before the meeting of the general conference in May. Julius A. Rosenwald Lectures to Howard University Students Mr. Julius A. Rosenwald, Chicago's millionaire and Philanthropist, delivered his first lecture at Howard University, Washington, D. C., to the student body on the subject of "General Usefullness." He was very much impressed with his initial visit. Leader Urges His Race to Shun Idleness Little Rock, Arkansas, Gazette, Dec. 3, 1919. Dr. E. E. Morris addressing the Negro Baptist State Convention said that idleness was the crime breeder of America, and he said that before this country could ever put down crime, criminality, lynching, mob violence and their kindred evils, it would be necessary to enforce a strict vagrancy law which would force all loafers to go to work or move on, and move clear out of the state. Mr. Morris said some plain things, urging his people to make friends in the communities in which they live, and then to teach their children that it is no disgrace to work. "The man or woman who wont work will steal or resort to some other unbecoming method of getting their support," he dress up, look wise, and walk the said; "for no man or woman can streets without resorting to some dishonest methods. "Tell it so the world can hear it engrave it on the azure blue above so that he who runs may read it, that the Negroes of Arkansas are opposed to crime, criminality, lynching, mob violence, assaults on women, and he condemns them with all of his life. We preach against this, an dwe have put forth an effort to reach the unreached of our race, but we have not succeeded thus far, for we cannot get them into our churches, homes, schools and places of healthful and uplifting influences. He is in the dens of shame and disgrace, the gambling hells and our arms are too short to reach them, they can only be reached by the arm of the law." Improvement in Education Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 1. — The Georgia State Board of Education has issued a bulletin showing the improvement in the Negro county school situation since 1914. In this period the number of teachers holding first grade licenses in county schools has almost doubled, amounting to 12.5 per cent of the total number employed. Forty-three per cent hold third grade certificates, a decrease from the 71 per cent of five years ago. The report states that 178 have no certificates at all. Local and private funds totaling $33,800 have been appropriated in the last three years for the improvement of the condition of the county schools. Foundation of Confidence Required in Business Integrity is a prime essential to real success. One who is dishonest may pile up money, but riches are not important without honor and the respect of your associates. I try always to keep my word, no matter how trifling the circumstances, and never promise what I can't fulfill. I insist that none of our men make a contract that the company can't live up to fully. Any salesman discovered making an agreement in which is inserted a clause giving the company a loop hole to escape from so filling the contrast, will be given ten minutes' notice. This policy is so well understood that we never have to enforce the threat. I never forget that individual friendship, as well as corporation good will, is based on confidence; and the foundation of confidence is integrity.—Eugene G. Grace, in Forbes Magazine. RELEASED Woman Held for Murder Shoots and Instantly Kills Man With Whom She Had Quarreled. Friday night, at 11:30, Beurl Brooks, age 32, shot and killed Given Greer, age 34, at her home, 1441 State Street. Greer was shot through the left cheek and died almost instantly. Witnesses of the murder stated it came as the result of a quarrel. Witnesses were William Heward, 1451 So. State St., William H. Ford, Fannie Paulree, and George Thompson. Inguest Saturday. Officer Samuel Bass, of the 2nd precinct station, made the arrest. The woman has been cited to the grand jury on a charge of murder. The coroners inquest was held Saturday at Chas.

Vincennes Hotel Has Formal Opening Tuesday evening the Vincennes Hotel, at 36th St. and Vincennes ave. staged the first act of its official existence under colored managership. The snowy flakes driven with incalculable speed by the frigid wintry winds of Lake Michigan made transportation unpleasant, unprofitable and unsafe. But in spite of all this some of the leading citizens of Chicago and neighboring cities braved the inclement weather and filled corridors and the spacious dining rooms to capacity. MANY PROMINENT CITIZENS PRESENT The large dining room was officially opened at 6 o'clock. Only the regular patrons of the hotel, however, were on the scene to greet the beautiful decorations, classic Jazz music that was previously and especially prepared by the management of the Hotel. But at eight o'clock hundreds of automobiles covered the streets surrounding the hotel like the sands cap the underlying strata of the Sahara. They expected something great, something unusual. They found it. Perhaps nowhere in America could they have found more high class joy and mirth. The dance floor was excellent, the music was of the Yim Europe variety which of course satisfies the most particular. Among the many present were Mrs. and Mrs. Dave Manson, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Abott, Dr. and Mrs. Spencer Dickerson, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar D. E. Priest, Mr. and Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. and Mrs. Geo. Garner, Mrs. Dr. Lester of Nashville, Tenn. Justice Goes Mad in Arkansas Looking over the crowded courtroom mothers, sisters sitting waiting in suspense for the next move justice will make against them. Old woman with tears in their eyes wring their hands in the fond hope that their loved ones will get a square deal, but their hopes are only cherished for awhile. Justice again takes off her blind and points out the man of color as—Guilty. The day was dark and dreary, the heavens itself looked down with disgust on the automatic disorder of things men were sent to their doom without even being given a fighting chance. Arkansas has forever tarnished the escutcheon of our judicial dignity, a state with ready justice to strike down a race of men. Nine race members were sentenced to terms in the penitentiary, twenty-seven to terms of five years, NO GAMBLING, DANCING, CARD PLAYING NOT EVEN BASE BALL IS PERMITTED "POSSUM HUNTING" THE MAIN SPORT Very Latest Bulletins Very Latest Bulletins A colored man was lynched in Macon, Ga., yesterday.

The "promised land" for the Southern Negro is in a 35,000 acre tract in Lonoke County, Arkansas, where a new idea Negro community is being built and for which a set of laws has been laid down that forbids almost every kind of amusement save "hunting possum" and whose code is "work" on the theory that idleness is the worst enemy of the Negro, the old saw about "all work and no play" to the contrary notwithstanding. There will be no dancing, no shooting "crans", no card playing, no loafing, no fighting. About the only thing that this new and fast growing community will be permitted to do is hunt. Not every baseball is admitted within the limits of lawful amusements. And the chief aim is the establishment of a big factory to turn out high quality and artistic coffins. The "promised land" surrounds the community centre that has been named Allport and to which 568 families have gone, each to take up and improve forty acres of land. Next year all business, most of which now is conducted by whites, will be taken over by Negroes, and one year from now the whole community's law and order, region, administration and and one to ten years with rapidity to day by judge J. M. Jackson in Phillips county court, this makes the total convictions in the three days the trials have been in progress. Negroes Not Accepting Red Ideas, Editors Say Baltimore, December 1. (Associated.) — Editors of the four Negro newspapers published here today poined in an open letter to Attorney General Palmer expressing their belief that the recent report to the Attorney General that Bolshevism and I. W. W. propaganda are making converts among Negroes is unfounded and deny that un-American ideals have taken hold among their race.

He has held sixty-four meetings to teach contentment to his race. His work ahs been indorsed by Governor C. H. Brough, of Arkansas, and by a good many other white people.

He pictured France in all its beauty, the wonderful scenes of battle fields, her spirit of chivalry, her great debt of honor to men of Color, and in particular the 370th.

How it was fixed by the powers that be to put men in charge who were knowingly incompetent in order that the propaganda they were fostering would win out successfully. Frenchmen were not misled.

CHICAGO, ILL The STAGE CRITICISM IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC TASTE Smarter Set make Hit at the Grand Messers. Tutt and Whitney have brought to Chicago the greatest musical comedy of the age. This statement is broad but all one has to do is to look, not with the eyes of prejudice nor with the ordinary dramatic interpretation, but with the eyes of a historical dramatic interpreter. There are not three dramatic critics in America that could do justice to this show without delving in to the Archieves of ancient history, and at the same time being in possession of sufficient archeaeological data to cover a long chumeristic period. The Colored people of Chicago could not have a better message brought to them at this time than the answer radiated by the Smarter Set Company of uniting the Children of The Sun. The historical points were Sam Harris Come and Get your Nephew On November 24 a young boy by the name of Obed Brown, 12 years of age was brought to the office of the Chicago Urban League. He had been placed on a train at Cherry, Tennessee, by his grandmother, Mrs. Mattie Mackey, and sent to Chicago. Because his grandmother forgot to furnish him with the address of his uncle Mr. Sam Harris and his Aunt Mrs. Consalides Harris, living somewhere in Chicago, the boy found himself without friends or funds. As yet no response has come to the efforts of the League to reach his grandparents in Tennessee, Obed Brown may be renched through the Chicago Urban League, 3032 So. Wabash Avenue.

Lawlessness has not been discouraged by the recent proclamation and crimes of violence are increasing in number. "Proclamation without action," is the description some critics give of Lord French's rule. His latest manifesto proclaimed the Sinn Fein and kindred societies throughout Ireland as illegal bodies. The Sinn Fein had already been proclaimed such in Dublin and other parts before the recent meeting of the Sinn Fein congress there.

Telephone Douglas 850. LEWIS W. WALLACE, Jr. As In the Field of Labor. Chorus girls and musicians in Madrid, Spain, have formed a labor union. Of the 130,000 people employed in the spinning mills in Japan, 96,000 are women. London teamsters who are employed by the city engineer are asking for $1 per hour. Iron molders in Toronto, Canada, are receiving 75 cents an hour for eight hours a day. In 1919 it took 127 men employed by the Pennsylvania railroad to do work of 100 men in 1917. Metal trades workers in Salt Lake City, Utah, are demanding a blanket increase in wages of $1 a day. Among Pennsylvania railroad workers 14 per cent more men did 11 per cent less work last year than in 1917. Soda clerks of the first grade in New York drug stores have presented demands for a minimum salary of $40 a week, while third-grade dispensers want $20. Policemen of Ashtabula, Ohio, have petitioned council for the establishment of an eight-hour day, also for the creation of a pension fund. The matter is now in committee. The Western Brick company of Danville, Ill., has entered into a contract with 450 employees that wages will be increased or decreased every three months in accordance with the cost of living. The price of 13 articles of food is taken as the standard. Fourteen of the leading retail stores of Providence, R. L., have issued statements to their employees that they will not allow them to join any union. They declare that while unions are of use in many industries, the retail trade is not suited to them. One thousand employees of the Federal Lead company were called out on strike at Bonne Terre, Mo. They are asking for a closed shop and 25 per cent increase in pay. The company has announced it is preparing for an indefinite closed down. As the result of conference between various German organizations, the Clerical Office Workers' union has been organized. It comprises more than 350,000 members, making it, it is contended, the biggest organization of office workers in the world. The strike of metal workers in Berlin, Germany, has been settled, according to announcement. Gustav Noske, minister of defense, speaking in the national assembly, declared those responsible for the strike would be punished for "disturbing the vital functions of public life." The marked increase in the number of highway robberies and burglaries the last few days has resulted in the issuance of an order by Chief of Police O'Brien of St. Louis which will mean that all unemployed are subject to arrest and prosecution as idlers. The order also empowers the police to investigate and search all motor cars out after midnight. A demand for a 35 to 65 per cent increase in wages and that all coal-burning locomotives weighing 200,000 pounds and more in road service be equipped with mechanical stokers and two firemen be placed in all such engines until they are so equipped was adopted by a conference of 300 general chairmen of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. The leather industry ranks as the third greatest manufacturing industry in the United States. According to the census of manufacturers for 1914, about 250,000 persons are engaged in the leather industry of the United States, some 55,936 of whom are in the tanning and leather trades, the remainder being principally shoemakers and harness makers. Houston, Texas, has produced something new in the line of unions. It is claimed that the Undertakers and Embalmers' union, chartered by the American Federation of Labor, is the first of its kind in existence. Undertakers and embalmers in, Galveston, Beaumont and other cities of southwestern Texas are also contemplating pursuing a similar course. The report of the Indiana industrial board includes the report of the department of mines and mining, which shows a coal production for the year ending September 30, 1918, of 28,795,682 short tons. This coal was secured from 239 mines employing 27,932 workmen, whose average annual earnings were $1,424.06. During the year there were 114 fatal accidents, 106 to persons employed in the mines and eight to persons employed on the surface; this gives a rate of 4.08 persons killed per 1,000 employed. Notices were posted in the offices of the Western Union Telegraph company of a 15 per cent increase in pay beginning Jan. 1, 1920, for all employees of the company who have been in service one year or more and a 10 per cent raise for those in its employ for six months. It was announced also that on Nov. 1 all employees will receive a bonus of 30 per cent of their salaries for the months of August, September and October. On Jan. 1 next another bonus will be paid of 20 per cent of the salaries for November and December. Fifteen thousand weavers employed by 50 mills at Alcoy, Spain, engaged in the manufacture of cloth for uniforms, struck, demanding a 50 per cent increase in wages. The employers have offered a 20 per cent advance, but this has been rejected. Unions in Butte, Anaconda and Great Falls, affiliated with the Metal Trades council, by a referendum vote cast in the three cities, have formally ended the strike that has been in progress among the Butte copper mines and the smelter plants in Anaconda and Great Falls for the last two months, it was announced today.

Survey Indicates 2,000,000 Unuspected Sufferers From Disease in Nation. New York.—A survey of the country shows the United States is face to face with a condition more menacing to its people than actual warfare, according to the report of the executive committee of the National Tuberculosis association. The survey shows an annual death rate from tuberculosis in the United States of 150,000, and more than 1,000,000 active cases of the disease in the nation. To combat and prevent the spread of the disease, an intensive national campaign is necessary, it was asserted. Funds for the campaign will be sought by a ten-day sale of Red Cross seats, beginning December 1. The total of the several state budgets will be more than $6,500,000. During the discussions, attention was called to the revelations of the war-time medical examination boards made up largely of members of the as sociation. Official figures were cited showing that of the men called to the colors, nearly 100,000 were tuberculous. It was pointed out that the death rate of 150,000 a year from one preventable disease means the sacrifice of more lives than the United State army lost in the year it was actively engaged in the war. BRITISH SELL WAR STORES Government Offers to the Public Impense Quantity of Goods and Factory Plants. Washington.—The British government is offering at public sale, either by auctions or bid from private parties, an enormous amount of goods stores and all kinds of property accumulated in the course of the war and now held in quantities far beyond the needs in time of peace. A special publication known as "Surplus," copies of which have been received here, show that this property includes whole factories fully equipped for manufacturing all kinds of commodities. An effort is being made to dispose of much of this property abroad and a special bureau has been established in London to interest export houses. JUST A MATTER OF MONEY Ontario Town Would Pay for American Coal in Own Currency. Windsor, Ont.—Orders placed by Mayor Winter with a United States firm for 600 tons of anthracite coal, quoted at $12 a ton, including freight, and expected to be paid for in Canadian money, must now be paid for in United States currency, according to word received here. The demand for United States money will make about 42 cents difference a ton, the mayor says. The order is held in 'abeyance until it can be learned whether another American company will accept Canadian money. City, Freed of Bolshevist Rule. Reveals Terrible Story. Men, Women and Children Killed Without Trial, Many After Horrible Torture. London.—Parm, the first city of any size retaken by Admiral Kolchak's All-Russian army from the bolshewiki, offers a great study in "red" atrocities. Perm is virtually a slaughter house. Hundreds of bodies of bolshewiki victims already have been recovered, and more are found every day. In the garden of a seminary, where bolshevist chieftains were wont to hold their revels, the bodies of two dozen schoolgirls already have been recovered. These girls, ranging in age from twelve to sixteen, were first attacked by "red" officers, then when the fiends had tired of their orgy the victims were killed by being tapped on the head with a wooden mallet. This seminary garden is one continuous grave of naked bodies and skeletons. Identification of the victims is impossible. A Russian countess and her daughter were tied to posts in this garden, stripped of their clothes, then killed by a succession of dagger pricks all over their bodies. A dozen priests were crucified head downward; two others were boiled in oil. Hundreds of the upper classes of the city, men, women and children, sentenced to death without trial, were taken to the edge of a swamp outside the city and given their choice of fleeing into the swamp or being shot down where they stood. Many dashed into the swamp, only to be engulfed in the quicksands. The others were shot down at the edge of a ditch, into which their bodies fell, and left uncovered during the entire winter. PLAN NEW HONCR FOR HOOVER Belgians Collect Money to Give Him Work of Art Symbolizing Achievements. London. Some time ago the king of the Belgians conferred on Herbert C. Hoover, the founder and first president of the commission for relief in Belgium, the title of "friend of Belgium," To commemorate the conferring of this unique title, the Belgian order of St. John of Jerusalem has opened a subscription for the purpose of offering Mr. Hoover an address, and also a work of art symbolizing the life which this American managed to maintain in the oppressed country during the German occupation. The Belgian army joined in the movements and each unit has sent a subscription. The contribution from the army alone is more than $3,500. Strange Indian Names. Rapid City, S.

SOUTH NOT READY FOR MOVE Convention Felt That More Thorough Organization in That Section Is Necessary Before Success Is Possible—Other Labor News. Much business of importance to the organization was transacted at the session at Baltimore of the annual convention of the International Textile Workers. The convention adopted a resolution favoring the 44-hour week, but, without taking any action looking to its enforcement, referred the resolution to the executive council. It was decided to concentrate efforts in the South to more thoroughly organizing the textile workers. It developed that opposition to the 44-hour week resolution came from southern delegates who pointed out that in many places in the South there was in operation a 54-hour and in some cases a 64-hour week. An increase of 25 per cent in the pay and expense allowance of the general officers and organizers was voted by the convention. The per capita tax was increased from 30 to 35 cents and initiation fees also were raised. Prize Fish Yarn of 1919.

They showed a snap-shot with a catch of 40 fish averaging two pounds each. Phone Douglas 4131 DR. J. AUTHOR KENNEDY, M. D. Physician and Surgeon 3102 Indiana Ave., over Ave. Theatre HOURS—9 A.

Dupree, 1144 E. 10th St. HEROIC WAR PIGEONS Flock That Did Wonderful Deeds Returns Home. "General Muir" Comes With Breast Shattered as Result of Many Exploits. New York.—With breast shattered, but still alive, General Muir, one of the greatest war heroes, returned recently. As the steamer pulled into New York harbor, General Muir sat on the deck wrapped in a blanket that bore several wound and service stripes. There was no perceptible sign that he realized where he was. He made no comment. Reporters tried in vain to interview him. Sergt. Fred J. Hermann, his commander, did all the talking. You see—General Muir is a carrier pigeon. He was one of the seven birds of the intelligence service of the A. E. F. that the transport brought home. General Muir's exploits are many. On one occasion, having been assigned to deliver a message of great importance to a post 18 miles away, he flew through shrapnel and gas, and past a squadron of Germans that had been sent out to intercept carrier pigeons and delivered the message in just 33 minutes. With his breast torn open, with his wings singed by fire, and eyes blinded with blood, he kept on till he had reached his objective. King Cole, another pigeon, is the nearest rival of General Muir for fame. He was a messenger in the last Argonne drive and flying through a cloud of gas fell into an abandoned trench. There he lay in the mud for two days, and gathering strength, arose, and came home with the message. Advertise in the Whip It's Worth While.

Div. of Labor Dear Sir: I am enclosing herewith wage de- mands and working conditions as per direction of the members of Sleeping Car Porters & Dining Car Employees Local 268 for the men employed on various railroads under the Railroad Administration who are desirous of having the Division of Labor and the Wage Adjustment Board pass favorably on same. We will appreciate anything that you might do toward having these mands fulfilled in favor of the mem- bers of our Organization. Yous very truly, (signed) P. D. Campbell, Secretary, Treasure: To the Board of Adjustments of Wages & Working Conditions, U. S. Railroad Administration, Washington, D. C. We are desirous of having the members of your board consider a demand for an increase in pay for the members of the Sleeping Car Porters & Dining Car Employees Local 268, employed on the various systems under the operation and control of the United States Railroad Administration. We herewith respectfully submit the following wage scale and working conditions for your approval: 1st—That lay-over periods at terminals be continued as prescribed by Government regulations in such a way that sufficient rest can be guaranteed workers in our craft. 2nd—Time and one-half above the regular rate of pay for all overtime. 3rd—Pay for excess mileage to remain in force with such additional compensation for same as may become necessary from time to time in order to comply with the natural requirements. 4th—Wages: Consider the basic minimum wages for Sleeping Car Porters of 125.00 per calendar month; for Sleeping Car Porters running in charge the same rate of compensation, that is now or hereafter in effect for Sleeping Car Conductors for such service. 5th—For Dining Car Waiters, consider a basic minimum wage of $100.00 per calendar month; for waiters having charge of Dining or Cafe Car, the same rate of compensation that is now or hereafter in effect for Stewarts for such service. 6th—It must be noted that in many instances waiters have been held responsible for loss of silver and breakage of dishes, which in itself is unfair and we request that the company refrain from charging suid losses to waiters who are not in a position at all times to prevent such losses. 7th-Seniority rights of all employees in the Sleeping Car & Dining Car Service must be rigidly enforced and observed as applied to promotions, preference to runs, as well as when it becomes necessary to reduce the forces. This of course should not necessarily be used to encourage inefficiency, but rather as a means of protection for workers who might stand in disfavor with some official for some personal reason not calculated to have any bearing on his usefulness as an employee. EXECUTIVE BOARD: R. W. Gully, President. W. M. Cage, Vice-Pres. P. D. Campbell, See.Treas. C. H. Brown, Asst. See. The above wage Demands and Working Conditions, which have been submitted to the Wage Adjustment Board by the officers and members of Loca 268 together with their Internationals Union, is in the estimation of every REAL Trade Unionist, as fair and impartial as a set of demands can possibly be. Recognizing as they do the many unnecessary burdens that workers are compelled to encounter when taking up for consideration the classification scheme through which the companies can thwart the efforts of the employees to materially advance and protect their interest, graded classifications according to the length of service has always been considered by old Line Trade Unionists, as a hold signal to the companies or employers to immediately set to work various forms of stool pigeon reports through which they can work an excessive labor turn-over. Such is based on dollars and cents. Very little consideration, if any is ever shown to employee who might grow old in the service when his age entitles him to what one might consider a wage in connection with what a younger employee might be granted by virtue of the fact that he has not had the training and experience that the older employee has been able to secure in his years of faithful service. Yet, we find many hypocrites and pretenders who will come in and agree as representatives of their organization to the very things that will mean the total disruption of the organization in the end, as it automatically creates unfair competition among the men desiring to reach the coveted goal. Consequently, we find every pro- progressive Trade Unionist insisting on an equitable wage based on the EFFICIENCY of the employee, and not calculated in such a way that the Companies can take advantage of the older employees and use the ones requiring less compensation. THE CHICAGO WHIP THE WANDERING JEW. By Henry Brown, Artist and Writer. The status of the Jew in the world at present is not an enviable one. While not a typical 'Subject race', the Jews are unquestionably a despised people. The curse of religious ered has stigmatized this race of people from the tragedy of Golgotha unto the Twentieth Century pogroms, and he has wandered from pillar to post like 'The Son of Man' without place to lay his head. For two thousand years the Jews have been merchants, bartering and trading the necessities of life because the more refined and nobler vociations have been closed to him. For two thousand years the Jewish Acumen for business has been sharpened because experience always carries its collateral benefits. We find the Jews wealthy and controlling the money market of the world. At the same time we find them still dodging the 'finger of scorn' and 'the eye of hate'. We find them still badgered as 'Christ Killers', and 'Blood Suckers'. We see him excluded from elite social circles. We see him barred from every uplifting avenue, where feasible methods can be adopted. He is shunned, avoided and religiously hated by all gentiles. He has been cursed, beaten with many stripes and murdered with exorciating torture. The Jew, true to the Sacred Oracle, has wandered all over the face of the earth, searching for a haven of peace and justice. We find him in America opulent and crafty but also wounded and crushed by the 'darts and arrows' of outrageous fortune. The Jews in America occupy an anomalous position. He is placed in the graduated scale of racial position, just a little above the negro. He is placed beneath the Italian, the Russian, the German, the Greek, and all other naturalized races of large proportions in America. He plays little part in legislative interests, as a race. His money interests are protected because America is money mad but his interests as to race representation and aggrandisement are negligible. The Jew does not get representation in Congress and Legislative departments of the several states to any great extent. He is 'with it, but not of it'. The colored people of America whose subjugation has even caused them to look to the Jew for aid are awakening to the fact that the Jews are forgetful of their own indignities and insults when it comes to dealing the under man. The Colored people being full of the 'humane element' have extended sympathy and aid to Jewish sufferers. They have felt a peculiar kinship for the oppressed, because they themselves were oppressed. The Colored man however has always known that his case was not in analogy to the Jews. The Jew is a profiteer. The Colored man the victim. The Colored man is forced to realize that the Jew is for the Jew and the broad principle of universal brotherhood means nothing to him. The Jew's pockets have been filled to the overflow by profits from Colored people. The Jew always puts his place of business where he can get the greatest advantage over his patronage. The Jew centralized his business efforts on fleecing Colored people. In Chicago the Mecca of the Colored man, the Jews are 'raising a merry time' by getting rich quick in the Black Belt. The monarch of the three balls, gets from 10 to 100 per cent for his loan. The ordinary vender of food stuffs also gets his rake off and so the story runs until the human leech is filled and then he starts his propaganda of Color-phobia. The Jews in Hyde Park are the moving spirit in the Segregation scheme. The Jews were caught red-handed in the riot. The Jews were the main contingency, propagating the hatred of their black victim. All right, Mr. Jew, the Colored man outnumbers you in America, according to statistics. The Colored man has fought your battles and made you rich. Remember the New Negro has arrived, and your days of extortion among us is nearing its end. GEORGE L. GILES POST WILI HOLD ANNUAL BALL.

Evidence of the progress of Negroes in Mississippi, especially along educational lines, is found in the fact that Mound Bayou, a Negro settlement, owned and controlled entirely by Cngroes, has just voted the issuance of $100,000 in bonds for the erection of a school. It will be for teacher training and vocational training purposes. It will be the largest institution of its kind in the South. According to Bura Hilbun, State supervisor of Negro schools, upward of $300,000 will be spent for Negro schools before the close of the present year. The State Board of Education is lending every possible aid to this development, and employs a Negro supervisor of schools, as well as Mr. Hilbun. DR. MADDEN, LECTURER ON COLONIZATION SCHEME ARRESTED IN ST. LOUIS Detectives Believe His Speeches Will Cause Race Riots. St. Louis, Mo.—"Dr." Moses, Madden, who has been in St. Louis three months in the interest of a plan to colonize the race along the Rio Grande river at the Mexican border, was arrested last week after he had delivered an address in Almack's hall, 2600 Pine Street. Two colored city detectives who heard his speech believed it was intended to cause unrest among the race. They followed Madden to the home of J. C. Campbell, a bishop of the Free Will Methodist Church, at 2242 Adams street, to make the arrest. They also arrested Bishop Campbell and Thos H. Gladney there. Mary Kemp, said to have come here from the South a short time ago, was arrested at 400 South Jefferson avenue. The detectives were sent to the hall after the Rey. W. D. Vencragle, pastor of a Baptist church had complained to the circuit attorney about Madden's campaign. The detectives in their written report said that Madden in his speech described a lynching with much descriptive detail and said that occur ences of this sort show that the race was not receiving proper protection under the flag, and that 'any flag that wouldn't protect its citizens is a dirty rag.' Madden, according to the detectives, did not advise them to carry arms, but told of an old man who was walking down the street when some white men insulted him. They quoted Madden as saying the old man's gray hairs would not have protected him, but that when he drew a revolver the white men fleed. Madden, according to detectives, denied he made an incendiary speech. He said his address was the same he made September 10, at a meeting in the Coliseum, in the presence of several police men who did not interfere at that time. His speech, he said, was solely in the interest of his plan to colonize the race in Texas and Mexico, and his only reference to the government was his assertion that there is nothing in the Constitution which specifically gives citizenship to the Negro, and that therefore they can only work out their destiny by segregating themselves in a This space reserved for BERT'S BOOTERY 3433 South State Street Agency for THE Bates SHOE RO-ZOL FACE BLEACH THE ORIGINAL RGZEL THE COMPLEXION CLARIFIER BLEACH Price 25 Cents PREPARED BY THE OVERIOR HYGIENIC MFG.

Reliable Detective Work FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL AID THE STATES IN FIGHT ON AUTOMOBILE STEALING. Proposed Legislation by Congress Will Be Framed to Suppress Crime in Interstate Commerce—Figures That Are Startling. By JAMES P. HORNADAY. Washington.—The federal government proposes to re-enforce the states in their efforts to put a stop to the theft of automobiles. Congress, the committee on judiciary of the house of representatives says, Is the only power competent to legislate on this rapidly growing evil, and has reported a bill which, it is believed, will get through each house uncontested. The proposed legislation is based on the principle that congress has the right to exercise any kind of power over automobiles in interstate commerce, that is to say automobiles that move from one state to another. Thieves steal automobiles and take them from one state to another and oftimes have associates in this crime who receive and sell the stolen cars. Every state has a law on the subject, according to the house committee on judiciary, these laws have proved inadequate to meet the evil. A large percentage of the thieves escape, and thousands of stolen machines are never recovered because, so it is asserted, the stolen machines are rushed from the state in which they are stolen into another state. The advocates of federal legislation on the subject point out that the loss to the people of the United States by reason of this stealing amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars every year and is getting worse. Theft Insurance Up 100 Per Cent. Theft Insurance Up 100 Per Cent. It is also asserted in support of the proposed legislation that it is getting so now it is difficult for the owners of the cheaper cars to obtain theft insurance due to the great loss that insurance companies have sustained. The judiciary committee points out that during the last year automobile theft insurance on the cheaper classes of cars has increased 100 per cent. The committee says that automobile thieves who make a specialty of this crime do not steal many of the higher priced cars, the reason being, of course, that they are not so easily sold. During the calendar year 1918, 22,273 cars were reported stolen in 18 western and middle western cities. The city of Detroit, Mich., listed the list with 2,637 cars stolen; Chicago came second with 2,611, and St. Louis third with 2,241. Kansas City led in cars stolen and not recovered, 46 per cent. St. Louis was second with 40 per cent of stolen cars lost absolutely. The judiciary committee of the house says its inquiries into the situation reveal that thieves have found the automobile field one in which they can reap huge harvests due to the fact that there are so many automobiles now in the United States. On July 1, 1919, the number of automobiles and trucks registered in the United States totaled 6,353,233. July and August are always heavy selling months. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the number of automobiles now in use has increased to 6,500,000 cars, with an average estimated value of $1,200 each, giving a total value for all cars now in use at $7,800,000,000. Federal Legislative Plan. The purpose of the federal automobile law is to suppress crime in interstate commerce. The house committee on judiciary holds that automobiles admittedly are tangible property, capable of being transmitted in interstate commerce. According to the committee, no good reason exists why congress, invested with the power to regulate commerce among the several states, should not provide that such commerce should not be polluted by the carrying of stolen property from one state to another. The governors of several states and the police authorities of a large number of cities have advised the committee on the judiciary of the house of representatives that federal legislation dealing with stolen automobiles would be welcome. The item of cost connected with the running down of automobile thieves has increased in many of the cities until it is giving the authorities much concern. Nearly every city now has a force of detectives engaged exclusively in running down automobile thieves and trying to recover automobiles. There is, so the house committee was informed, close co-operation between the various states and the larger cities, but in spite of this the number of automobiles stolen continues to increase, while the number recovered continues to decrease. It is told that one day shortly before the armistice, a tired, hungry-looking young man turned up at a British camp and asked if he might have something to eat. "Certainly," said the officer, noting the khaki suit. "But may I ask who you are?" A weary smile stole over the young fellow's face as he replied, "Oh, I'm the Prince of Wales—but for heaven's sake forget it."

New Orleans has the largest mahogany manufacturing plant in the world. Members of the various labor unions in Houston, Texas, have established a co-operative store. Danish co-operative trade unions have a membership of 255,000, an increase of 93 per cent in two years. Most of the factories in Russia have been transferred to the control of the workers. A salary increase of 15 per cent has been awarded 2,500 wreckers, concrete workers, excavators and building laborers of St. Louis, it was announced. Seventy-five miscellaneous union men struck at the Champion Engineering company's plant, Kenton, O., tying up production. They demand union recognition. The plant was picked. Charging that wealthy Chicago women refuse to give their maids enough to eat and make butlers work long hours, housemaids and other domestic employees took steps to organize a union. Demand that women be represented equally with men in all future international labor conferences called under the treaty of Versailles was made at the international congress of working women at Washington. A strike by editors of the Barcelona (Spain) newspapers is threatened. The proprietors of some of the newspapers have refused the editors' demands and the writers affected are threatening to walk out. Prospects of labor difficulties, involving car men of the Washington Railway and Electric company, who some time ago made demands for a pay raise, averaging 50 per cent, were dispelled when the Employees' union announced that, for the time being, it has accepted the 3 cents an hour increase offered by the company. Only 60 per cent of the silver mines of Mexico, once the leading producer of silver in the world, are being worked, it is revealed in the report of a commission of mining men which has assembled in Mexico City to confer with the department of industry, commerce and labor regarding methods which may be employed to increase the production of the metal. The longshoremen's strike at New York, on October 29 tied up 625 vessels, said by shipping men to be the largest number ever recorded in the port on a single day. Of the 540 steamships, 53 are passenger vessels, some of them the largest liners affront. The daily cost of the tieup was estimated at more than $1,500,000 in demurrage alone. The Building Laborers' union, composed of 600 hodcarriers, was expelled from the Denver Building Trades council, and other union men of the council were authorized to work with nonunion laborers until a new laborers' union has been formed. Expulsion was voted because the laborers refused to accept a compromise increase of 50 cents a day, the award of an arbitration board composed of the Building Trades council and representatives of the Master Builders' association. The men asked $1 a day increase. Fourteen thousand boilermakers joined the general strike of shipyard workers, who have been out since October 1, according to an announcement at the headquarters of the Metal Trades council at New York. The men demand a 44-hour week and $1 an hour. About 200 clerks of the Maritime Underwriting agency at New York went out on strike. The men demand a 30 per cent increase in salary, an eight-hour day and the privilege of smoking in office hours. Salaries are said by the strikers to range from $10 a week to $40. JENNY LIND'S PIANO IS SOLD White and Gold Instrument That Cost P. T. Barnum $5,000 is Treated as Junk. Middletown, Conn.—On a big platform truck, with its legs in the air, the white and gold Crystal Patience piano specially built by P. T. Barnum for the concerts of Jennie Lind in 1850 was carted off a few days ago by a New Haven collector who had purchased it from Thomas E. Smith, a local dealer in antiques. When Barnum contracted with the Swedish Nightingale for a concert tour of the United States, for which he paid her the then magnificent sum of $303,000, he had Fox & Co. of New York construct a mammoth square piano for the concerts, the price of which was over $5,000. While this piano was used no duplicate was to be made. Its case and legs were of San Domingo mugogany, enamelled in ivory and embellished in gold. DESERTER IS FOUND IN CAVE Navy Man Living in Blue Ridge Mountains Escapes From Police. Reading, Pa.—Berks county was thrilled recently by the discovery that Charles Strausser, former Hamburg soldier and navy deserter, was living as a cave dweller, deep in the Blue mountains north of Hamburg. He was trapped in his cave high in the virgin timberland by state police, but escaped after an exchange of shots. Strausser, who has been sought by navy officials for months, fled deeper into the seclusion of the wild mountain land after he eluded the police net. He had been discovered when campers caught sight of a wild man, haggard and scantily clad, fleeing through the hills. The state police, led by Constable Wilson Lewear of Hamburg, have returned to the chase with reinforcements. 80. SHE TAKES AIR FLIGHT Atlantic City Widow Goes Up 3,000 Feet as Aviator Does Stunt. Atlantic City, N. J.—Mrs. Ida C. Wilcox, who is eighty, the widow of an army colonel, lives in a little cottage near the field where airmen have been doing daring exhibition performances. The fascination tempted her until she could stand it no longer and recently she gave the most experienced aviation fans at the air port a thrill by taking a ride with Eddie Stinson, who ascended 3,000 feet.

London.—A sundial known as "Nell Gwynn's Sundial," which for years has been in position on the terrace at Lauderdale house, Highgate, was broken beyond repair while workmen were trying to change its position. There is still in the house Nell Gwynn's original bath, which is much older than the sundial, and was placed there when she was installed in the palace by Charles II. Farmer Gets $900 Pearl. Vincennes, Ind.—While digging mussels in the Wabash river recently Martin Straw, a farmer, found a pearl which he sold to a Mt. Carmel, Ill., jeweler for $900. Mr. Straw had only dug one pound of shells when he started cooking them and made the find. Kansas City.—A certain saloonkeeper entered the office of Sam Hargus, assistant United States district attorney, here, and explained that he wanted to know if he could sell some liquor with his 2.75 per cent beer. Others were getting away with it, he declared, and he wanted to know if he could. "How far would I get?" he asked. "Well," replied Mr. Hargus. "seeing that you are an old friend I think I can fix you up—so you could get your choice of any fall in the Western district of Missouri. We have some pretty fine ones; some say they have never seen better." "I'll stick to my near per cent beer," replied the saloonkeeper as he hurriedly left.

THE COAL STRIKE The seriousness of the coal strike and the suffering and inconvenience to humanity points again to the ruffled spirit of America. Under war time exingencies it is conceivable how such a contingency could happen and reasonable excuses would alliate the causes and effects. At the present time however when the exigency is not present it is a puzzle to us, why the great government can not intelligently adjust itself. Is it the autocratic spirit beneath a constitution concienced in liberty, or it the unreasonable demand of the proletariat? Or is it the irreel of capital impressed with obstinacy and blood lust on the neck of America? The question cannot be answered in one breath; but but breath it all we can see unrest and the obvious, omnious dis The seriousness of the coal strike and the suffering and inconvenience to humanity points again to the ruffied spirit of America.

Since a man in this country we doubt very so ever admit the loss. The fact one of the greatest thinkers of men he is not so well-known to The passing of George W. Ellis from the stage of worldly action effects a serious loss not only to the Negro race but to the entire nation. Since a man's color detracts from his merit in this country we doubt very seriously whether the nation will ever admit the loss. The fact remains however, that he was one of the greatest thinkers of the age. Like most scholarly men he is not so well-known to the rank and file. The passing of George W. Ellis from the stage of worldly action effects a serious loss not only to the Negro race but to the entire nation. Since a man's color detracts from his merit in this country we doubt very seriously whether the nation will ever admit the loss. The fact remains however, that he was one of the greatest thinkers of the age. Like most scholarly men he is not so well-known to the rank and file. What he has contributed to the World with his pen and general deportment is worth more to the race than all of lambucyant oratorial Windammers together. If there ever was a man that should be immortalized by his race, Geo. W. Illis is the man. The Race can ill afford to lose men of this mind, at any time. During these days of days reconstruction and turmoil when brain and courage, are required to elevate and establish the Negroes Place permanently in the social economic and political world on equal footing with other racial groups, his death is especially regretable. It will be keenly felt by all who are conscious of the weighty problems that confront the Race. He was considered an authority on economics. His research while in Africa as U. S. Minister plenipotentiary gave him the distinction of being the greatest authority on African History and Archiology. He was honored with a fellowship to practically every scientific society in the civilized world. Without fear of successful contradiction America has never produced a more profound thinker. The works of this man alone will ever stand as a monument of steel to ward off the malicious and unfounded attacks of villifying ignorant outherners who accuse the Negro of inferiority and lack of originality. He was very active in local politics in Chicago in his latter days; but in intellect he stood as high over the best of his political associates in comparison as does the highest peak of the Rockies over the bottom of the sea. He ran for Judge of the Municipal court in the last election and lost by a very narrow margin. His presence on the bench would have raised the standard of our local courts. According to "Who's Who in America", a book cataloguing and classifying men of worth, no Judge now on the bench is his equal. Geo. Ellis is not dead. He will be more alive to the next generation than to this one. They will be more able to appreciate true worth. He shall always live. Even when records are lost. Works of this man will live unconsciously in the minds of human beings. This is a perplexing world and the worthless ignorant are favored with longevity. Another rational mind that increases the This is a perplexing world when men like Ellis pass away and the worthless ignorant and selfish so-called leaders are favored with longevity.

Watch and subscribe for our Special Xmas Edition today! RALPH TYLER, COLORED WAR CORRESPONDENT DEFENDS SOLDIERS Columbus, O.—Ralph W. Tyler, has sent the editor of Harvey's Weekly, the following letter, condemning his brutal attack an Colored Soldiers: Editor Harcvey's Weekly. I know every statement you and Col. Greer make is brutally false, a damnable injustice to the hundreds of colored soldiers whose blood dyed and whose bones are now fertilizing the soil of France to help "make the world safe for democracy." The records in the War Department—even copies of Col. Greer's orders of commendation—brand your editorial and his letter of Dec. 6 as false. Sir: In the November 1st number of your pamphlet, which you dignify with the name of "Harvey's Weekly," you print one of the moss brutal and unsupported editorial attacks ever made on the colored soldier and the colored race, under the caption, "The Negro Soldier." The general orders of Gen. Sherburn, commanding the 167th Artillery Brigade (the artillery of the 92nd Division), brand your editorial and its supporting Col. Greer's letter as false. The testimony of Gen. Barnum, commanding the 183rd Brigade, 92nd Division, brands it as false. The final general order of Gen. Ballous, commanding the 92nd Division, gives the lie to your editorial; the cabled information to the War Department from Gen. ershing in August, 1918, brands it as false. The fact that of the only three American regiments whose colors were decorated with the Croix de Guerre were colored regiments—369th, 370th and 371st, brands your editorial and Col. Greer's supporting letter as false. I am in doubt as to whether you wrote the editorial, or whether Col. Allen J. Green, late chief of staff for the 98 (colored) Division, wrote it. If you did write it, then Col. Green must have furnished the alleged information, for on applying "the deadly parallel," I find that throughout your editorial you use, verbatim of ceratim, the contents of that letter Col. Greer wrote Senator McKeller, under date of Dec. 6, 1918. But Col. Greer, lacking consistency, which is even an admirable trait in a soldier as well as an editor or pamphleteer, had previously issued numerous general orders and memorandum extelling in the highest terms the colored soldiers of the 92nd Division for efficiency, deportment and bravery; he had issued orders to confer the D.S. C. on scores of colored officers and men for "exceptional" bravery in the face of the enemy, signing these orders and memorandum with his full name and affixing thereto his full name and affixing his military title thereto to attest to their genuineness. Unfortunately, for you, only a few days after your pamphlet, styled "Harvey's Weekly' 'was issued, the War Department gave out a report of an investigating board exonerating the 368th Regiment of the 92nd Division, of alleged cowardice, which you, with your Greer vouch-safed information, assumed to be an established fact. The 93rd Division, colored, the first to sail for France, fought splendidly, endured heroically, and those who fell to rise no more died stoically indifferent to fate since they were dying for their country. The 92nd Division's brilliant, valorous stand in that inferno, Bois Frehaut the woods which neither the French nor fighting Sengalese could hold but which the 92nd did hold, is sufficient to give it a place in history as a fighting unit, and to long remain green in memory after Harvey's Weekly and its assumed silent contributing editor, Col. Greer have been forgotten. Col. Greer's letter to Senator McKeller, under date of Dec. 6, 1918, and to which your, or his, editorial suggests deadly parrallel, was written to discourage the use of colored men in the army, either as officers or men, and it would appear from your editorial referred to that between you and Col. Greer there exists a gentleman's (?) agreement to assassinate the colored soldier—even those who fell on Flanders field to establish something they had never enjoyed—democracy. I can understand the prompting for Col. Greer's antagonism to the colored soldier and colored race, if a report that was generally circulated throughout the 92nd Division is correct, alleging that a colored officer thrashed him—his superior—for directing abusive, profane words to him when they both met at the home of a certain French woman, the colonel and chief of staff being camouflaged in a lieutenant's uniform, as the report allowed, the colored officer was allowed to resign. I repat, if this rept is correct, I can understand the prompting for Col. Greer's antagonism for the colored race, even if I cannot understand his inconsistency in first extolling the colored soldiers of his division in numerous general orders and then assailing them after the armistice had been signed, but I am at a loss to understand your antagonism, unless you have been hypnotized by Col. Greer, who evidently wrote your editorial or supplied the lying information. The public will prefer to accept the testimony of war correspondents who were at the front, and of commanding officers, who, unlige Col. Greer, have no particular reason to defame brave black soldiers—those living and maimed and those dead—than to accept the testimony of Col. Greer and the editor of Harvey's Weekly, who was more than three thousand miles from the scene of conflict. If I should permit your false charge to go unchallenged, the spirit forms of the black soldiers who bravely, heroically fell in the Argonne, at Champaign, in No Man's Land, in Boise Frehaut and other bloody fields on which they bravely fell, would rise up and, pointing their skeleton fingers of scorn at me, call me traitor—just what they and the living are calling you today. An editor or ought to be advised before he lies on the brave. Respectfully, RALPH W. TYLER. I was with the 92nd Division for six weeks as was correspondent, and The tertiary stage of Syphilis following in its order, is called the final stage, being general in all its symptoms and final in its action of destruction. Having selected its final site of location, is marked by the characteristic lesson of the late and hopeless stage, occurring in any organ or tissues, undergoing a marked change to the tissue from a fatty to a caseous degeneration, the center breaking down into a gummy material called the Gumma. It develops into the brain, spinal cord, and meninges, varying in size from a almond to that of an egg, and causing symptoms according to the location. In the brain — for many years — dizziness, neuralgia, headaches, and disturbances of the cranial nerves were regarded as mere nervousness, covering up the sins of an early infection only to find that syphilis has manifested and in the third stage unannounced. How often we hear the statement "It is only a slight headache, as my stomach is out of order, it will be alright soon" etc, and the victim finds himself taking a Bromo-Seltzer, Olives Tablets or Orangeine powders, only to get a temporary relief, mask the symptoms and prolong the agonies while the development of the infection is still going on to its destructive stage, instead of consulting the family doctor for proper treatment, we are advised by our good friends as to one of his "sure eures" a patent medicine who's history in the past has killed more or equally as many as war. But only too late to realize its danger and result. The greatest damage of this disease is done to the nervous system, causing a irreparable damage to the nerve cells; and once a nerve cell is destroyed, it cannot be replaced or repaired. It produces all forms of disorders establishing Paresis, general and partial paralysis, dementia of the various types or insinuity with tremor, speech disturbances increas muscula weakness, finally insinuity and death. Tabes dorsalis (lecomotor ataxia) is an associated syphilic manifestation of the third stage affecting the spinal column, of the spinal cord (with muscular incoordinations and atrophy, neuralgia, with lancinating pains, disorders of the optic nerve, also crises, with severe pains in the abdomen, or around the waist, preceding with a nausea, and vomiting, leaving one with the ataxia gait (i. e.) unable to walk without a cane or assistance, the legs being thrown out, eyes directed toward the ground, body forward and wide apart. This condition is a sure result and treatment only checks symptoms. In conclusion the results of the disease depend upon what stage treatment is given. The first stage is generally favorable, as to the character and period of its continuance of treatment. The second stage treatment should be kept under control for debilitating influences of the third or final stage. The untreated whether because of failure to recognize its character or its ignorance, due to poverty, neglect or dissipation is usually grave.
