PLANES GROUP DOM8S CN ENGLISH TOWNS Nine People Are Killed and 31 Injured by Explosions; Two Vessels Torpedoed. London, England. — Nine persons were killed and 31 injured in another German aeroplane raided on the Kentish coast. The raiders, four in number, dropped 48 bombs. Dover and its harbor were shelled, the towns of Deal and Margate were bombarded and only prompt action by a British aviator warded off an attack on Westgate. One German seaplane was purged 20 miles to sea by a British pilot in a one-seater aircraft, where he engaged in an action which wasasted for 15 minutes. The raider was bought down and the observer killed. The war office has issued the following statement: "Four German seaplanes bombarded the east coast of Kent: today. The first pair appeared over Dover, flying at a height of from 5,000 to 6,000 feet. One dropped six bombs in the harbor and then proceeded northwest, dropping bombs on the town. The other, after passing Dover, appeared over Deal and dropped several bombs. "The second pair bombarded Ramsgate, after which one went west and the other north, pursued by a British aeroplane. One bomb was dropped on Margate. The second machine appeared over Westgate, where our aeroplanes engaged in his pursuit and no bombs were dropped. "The casualties so far reported are nine killed and 31 injured. As far as can be ascertained, 48 bombs were dropped. One bomb fell on the Canadian hospital at Ramsgate, causing some damage to the building, but no casualties. Material damage was inflicted on several houses. "Flight Commander Bone, in a single-seated aeroplane, pursued one rattler 30 miles to sea, where, after an action lasting a quarter of an hour, the raider was forced to descend and the observer was killed." Berlin, March 20.—(By wireless to Sayville.)—The Austro-Hungarian hospital ship Elektra was torpeded in the Adriatic sea by an entente allied submarine, according to the Overseas News agency.

Charles Grandison Finney, first president of Oberlin college, is dead here. He gave to Oberlin college Finney Memorial chapel, named in honor of his father. After his graduation from Oberlin Mr. Finney was admitted to the bar in 1857, and practiced at Oshkosh, Wis. Later he was instrumental in building the Canada Southern. Made $24,821,408 In 1915. New York City—The annual report of the Bethlehem Steel corporation for 1918, just issued, disclosed that the net earnings of the corporation and its subsidiary companies, after deducting, expenditures, amounted to $24,821,408 as compared with $9,649,649 in 1918, an increase of nearly 260 per cent. The average number of employees of the company had increased from 15,586 in 1914 to 22,064 in 1915, and wages paid in 1915 amounted to $21,800,664 as against $14,312,948 last year. THE GAZETTE PERSHING'S FORGES ARE HEARD FROM First Report From the Front in Sixty Hours; Mentions Villa-Carranza Clash. ONE AVIATOR STILL MISSING Reports of Diaffection Among Carranza Troops Are Received With Concern by Gen. Funston, Contemplate New Expedition. San Antonio, Tex. — With wireless communication with the advanced base of the American expeditionary force hunting Villa restored, Gen. Funston received from Gen. Pershing the first report from the front. in 60 hours. It came from Casas Grandes and the only reference made to the operations of Villa was that the bandit and Carranza troops clashed Monday near Namaquila. Investigate Wire Troubles. Repeated failure of the wireless sets Gen. Pershing has been using caused the dispatch of Capt. Charles De Forest Chandler of the signal corps to supervise their operation. Telegraph wires between Torreon and Pledras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass, were cut, according to a telegram received here. Mal. Sample, reporting from Columbus, N. M., said Avilator Robert H. Willis is safe and that Avilator J. Gorrell is the only American flyer now missing. Gorrell was last sighted over Colonin Junrez, southeast of Casas Grandes. Gen. Pershing reported an aeroplane in communication with the 7th cavalry 60 miles southeast of Casas Grandes. Two other advance cavalry columns are known to be pushing south. No report of fighting between Americans and Villa forces has been received. American military authorities are contemplating sending a new column into Mexico from Fabens, a village 30 miles east of El Paso, it is reported. It was stated this plan was under consideration as an alternative should Carranza refuse the request of the Washington government for the use of the Mexico Northwestern railroad over which to transport supplies to American troops. Reports Disaffection Cause Concern. Reports along the border continue that serious disaffections have occurred among Carranza soldiers. From several sources a circumstantial report was received that the garrison at Chihuahua, supposed to number 2,000 men, had revolted and that their commander, Gen. Luis Herrera, had declared in favor of Villa. Andreas Garcia, the Carranza consul here, branded this report as false, but in high official circles here it was accepted as at least possible in view of the fact that more than half of the Mexican troops at Chihuahua were former Villa followers. Even though unconfirmed, the report was received with grave concern by Gen. Fonston and his staff. GERMANS CAPTURE A FRENCH POSITION Austrians Abandon Capital of Bukowina; Russians Sink German Foodstuffs Paris, France.—After a bombardment carried on with great violence for an entire day, the German army of the crown prince stormed and captured French positions on Haucourt hill in its flanking movement against LeMort Homme (Deadman). The German advance on the slopes of Haucourt is admitted by the French war office, which, however, reports that their attempts to debouch from Avocourt wood, captured on the previous day, were repulsed. The same disregard for human life is characterizing the present attacks as those in the other sectors. According to prominent military critics, the latest German attempt has resulted in an advance of about a mile over a front of a mile and one-third. Amsterdam, Holland. — Abandonment of Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina, by the Austrians is reported in an unofficial wireless dispatch received from Rome. A Bukharest dispatch says the Turks have evacuated Erzinjan, a fortress of Asia Minor, 120 miles west of Erzurum. The sinking by a Russian warship of the steamship Esperanza off Kall Akra in the Black sea, off the Romanian coast, is reported in a Reuter dispatch filed at Bukharest Sunday. The Esperanza, flying the German flag, is said to have been loaded with foodstuff for Constantinople. Took Babe to Pen, Brings Back Two. Erie, Pa. — When she refused to be parted from her seven-months-old baby when sentenced to the penitentiary six months ago for shoplifting, Judge Walling ordered that Mrs. Mary Visantio be permitted to take the child with her. When her sentence expired, she returned to this city with two children, another baby having been born to her seven weeks ago in the penitentiary. The husband and father, John Vi santo, went to Pittsburgh and accompanied the trio home. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1916. COL.

Bailey for Cleveland Ministers SALOONMAN APPOINT To Represent Our Good People the Vigorous and Long Standing tests of Cleveland’s Leading A Americans---Will Resent It (Telegram) Columbus, O., Feb. 15, 1918. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Blackstone Bldg., Cleveland, O. "Wire just received, learn Mr. Carr has already notified Hudson of his appointment. Thompson with a shrewd political trick the withdrawal of Sidjou son and his endorsement Hudson for the appointment of inspector for this county. But they have Col. Grebe is in command of the 6th territory, a part of the force now in Mexico. Cleveland, O.—Big Four dispatchers here have received word that the commercial flyer of the Toledo, St. Louis & Western railroad was blown off the track by a terrific cyclone at or near Marlon, Ind., with a probable high death toll. Twenty-five are reported injured. The engine, combination baggage and passenger coach, one day coach and a Pullman sleeper were hurried into a cornfield, it is reported. The fireman, plumed in the wreckage, is supposed to have been scaled to death. The engineer is reported injured. There is no definite report about passengers. This catastrophe is believed to be one of many caused by a wind storm which cut a path through Illinois and was reported to be sweeping eastward. First reports of the storm came from Ottawa, Ill., where most wires were blown down. The twister, swept southeast and at Otto, Ill., a junction point of the Illinois Central, all the telegraph and telephone wires were swept away. A telephone message from the Illinois Central train dispatcher at Kankakee, Ill., which is four miles north of Otto, said traffic had been tled up by the storm. Eight box cars in a northbound train were blown on to the southbound tracks and it will take several hours to clear the right-of-way. Menger reports were to the effect that much damage had been done in the vicinity of Beaverville, Ill., 20 miles southeast ofankakee on the Big Four railroad. No communication could be had with Beaverville either by telegraph or telephone. Wire trouble in the gale area precludes definite information. The Big Four dispatcher here says he cannot get Marion, Ind., by telephone or telegraph and that Indianapolis reports few wires up in that city. Train Wreck Kills Troopers Mexico City.—Fifty troopers were killed and more than 100 injured in a railroad accident at Sayula, which is situated to the west of Guadalajara, on the Pacific coast extension of the Mexican Central railway. The train, owing to a loose or removed rail, went over a precipice. The entire train of 15 cars, which was loaded with men and cavalry horses, was burned. Not That Kind of Cotton. Sandusky, O.—Visions of an explosion that would wipe Sandusky off the map 'loomed big when a report was telephoned from a grocery that a carload of guncotton was burning in the New York Central yards. The fire department ran as never before. Instead of guncotton it was cotton 'batting that was' burning. The loss will not exceed $500. Victims of Disease They Fought. Laredo, Tex.-Dr. Peter Olitsky, who was stricken with typhus in Durango, Mexico, and brought to a local hospital 10 days ago; will recover. Dr. Olitsky was a member of the Rockefeller anti-typhus expedition into Mexico. Dr. Carlos E. Husur, Aurora, Ill., representing the Guggenheim foundation, stricken in Durango, died. Save He Was Scapegoat. Frankfort, Ky.—Daniel F. O'ullivan, who is chairman of the state prison commission, announces he will present for parole, April 4, the name of Henry E. Youtsey, convicted 18 years ago of the murder of Gov. William Goebel and sentenced to life imprisonment. Mr. O'Sullivan points out that those "who sought to profit by his act are all free, the beneficiaries of pardons, while Youtsey alone is tortured on the rack of life imprisonment." Goebel was killed in Frankfort, Jan. 30, 1900. OUTRAGED! BY GOV. WILLIS! Says Dr. H. C. Bailey for Our Cleveland Ministers To Represent Our Good People Over the Vigorous and Long Standing Protests of Cleveland's Leading Afro-Americans---Will Resent It. Gov. Willis' telegram would suggest that some one thinks he has "played a shrewd political trick* in securing the withdrawal of Sidney B. Thompson and his endorsement of Juriman Hudson for the appointment of a deputy oil inspector for this (Cuyahoga) county, but they haven't*. Thompson's endorsement amounts to less than nothing because it represents an effect on nearly every one of those who supported his candidacy. Gov. Willis undoubtedly know this at the time, but seems to have finally given in to State Oil Inspector Carr's pleading for the appointment to please the Maschke-davis faction of Cleveland. The effect will be directly felt by the Governor, this fall, and not by other cars or the public. The state oil inspector has honestly won the "past master" station and the person who listens to his political counsel in the face or what transpired, last year, when he traveled over the state, giving out deputies right and left, boosting the Governor for the Ohio presidential nomination endorsement, and then "tell down" most completely as asserting that he must certainly be wonderfully intercepted from a political viewpoint, or credulousness personified. According to Chairman Williams, of the State Board of Film Censors, who wrote the editor of The Gazette, some weeks ago, we HAVE been giving Gov. Frank H. Willis entirely too much credit for the harring from Ohio of the infamous photoplay, "The Nigger" and "The Birth of a Nation," Mr. Williams says, in the letter, that the governor left them free to take such action as they, the Board, saw fit. Thank you, Mr. Williams, for the information. Our people throughout Ohio should remember this. Give the governor the credit due him, but no more. We have all along held a different idea and are free to confess it. SYD'S JOB! The Maschke-Davis Faction Gives Him the Promised Appointment. It was announced, the week of March 6, that Syd. Thompson had been given a place in the city's drainage or catch-basin-cleaning department, the job paying two dollars a day. Well! WELL!! Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: —Sometime in 1915, Gov. Frank B. Willis appointed as a deputy inspector for this county, Thomas Fleming, which position he held until his election as a councilman, in this city, last November, compelled his resignation, January 1, this year. This caused a hurry in inspecting Mennille, two or three aspirants applied for it, among the number being a local salon-keeper who operated on the main thoroughfare of our people, where our church-goers must pass to and fro to their churches, being embarrassed by hangers-out and others passing in and out of vigorous protests (for nearly two months) to Gov. Willis, as ministers of the gospel (representing several thousand Colored REV. H. C. BAILEY church communicants), against the appointment of a saloon-man, recommended largely by the saloon element, the Governor has appointed him and refused to appoint the man we endorsed, one whom we thought the best to represent the saloon man. We as ministers, sent letters, telegrams and night-letters (telegrams) to Gov. Willis in protest against the appointment of the saloon-man and endorsing the other asplendant. The Governor, however, has deliberately and outrageously ignored our protests and endorsements by giving the position of a saloon man, self-business (saloon) is doing more harm and causing more retrogression of the flower of our young manhood in this city than the actual physical slavery of our parents before the "sixties." We, the ministers, and churches, stand for race elevation, a virile manhood, worthy citizenship and factors in every community, and for a better manhood and life. The Governor's action in this matter is in direct opposition to all these—and HURTS! What are we to do when these contemptible indignities are continually heaped upon us—appropriately saloon-men to state of municipal jobs a reward to the decent Negro republicans of this community, thus saying to the people, white and Colored, that SUCH men are the REPRESENTATIVES of the Negroes? We must and will organize and work to defeat any candidate for office, he be democrat or republican, who will so insult us, and Gov. Willis will be made to feel this, politically, if he is a candidate for office in November. Signed, (Rev.) H. C. Bailley, Pastor, Antioch Baptist Church, President, Cleveland Branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Columbus, O. J., March 8, 1916. Editor, Gazette, Decar. Sir: After reading The Gazette's article of prominent ministers of Cleveland against the state of Ohio for appointing saloon-treepier to represent the people, I desire to say that these appointments do speak loud to the public and mislead the people into be- GOV. FRANK B. WILLIS leaving that SUCH man are THE representatives of the Negro. I agree that we ought to organize and work to defeat any candidate for office, be he Democrat or Republican, who will so insult us. Gov. Willis will be made to feel this when next. November thousands of our voters in the state of Ohio, will resent the insult. No man who is thoroughly loyal and a lover of his race could do otherwise. (Rev.) W. H. Beasley, B. D. Pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church. MAKE WILLIS FEEL IT! Oberlin, O., March 10, 1946. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I have been reading The Gazette's articles with reference to the appointment of J. C. Hudson as a deputy oll inspector, and if he belongs to the class to which he belongs, I will be sons for believing that he does, the Governor should be made to feel the dissatisfaction of the race's better citizenship. "Politics is politics" of course, and I realize that a united corrupt vote is of more importance, in one respect, than a divided honest vote; but we had hoped that, in the governor's compartment, we would be the ones to issue we had encouraging-evidence of the fact that he considered character to be a worth-while asset. This move, however, not only shows that character, is a secondary thing with him, but that he is not averse to delivering a blow to the race which probably is ensured more for its deficiencies along this line than any other. Such circumstance; serve but to add insult to the face of apprehensions we ask for fish. They say to the corrupt voter that he is not only entitled to election-day spoils, but also to those of the post-election season, while the honest vote of the race gets nothing. They reduce our moral status; for they say to our young men that politics, which at best has only crumbs for the Negro, is not the race in those who do the most to put the race in a bad light before the world: In your fight to make the Governor feel the dissatisfaction of the constructive forces within the race. I am with you, and hope that it may prove so successful that it shall compel others to be more considerate of the best interests of a sorely pressed people. Yours for the race, (Rev.) Geo. Washington. Our esteemed conferee, Edilor John Mitchell of the Richmond (Va.) Planet, and doubtless many others throughout Ohio and the country, do not understand the caustic indictment of Gov. Frank B. Willis our ministers and other leading Afro-American of Cleveland and the state of Ohio, have filed in the columns of The Gazette and placed upon their personal records for future use. What makes it hard for them to understand it, is the fact that all last year we gave the Governor decidedly more, credit for barring infamous photoplays from Ohio than he was entitled to. We were not aware of this until Chairman Chas G. Williams, of the State Board of Film Censors, enlightened us in his letter to The Gazette, under date. Jan. 21, 1916, more extended reference to which is made in an editorial note elsewhere in these columns. To that date (and since) Gov. Willis let that false impression stand when a word from him would have "set us right," but "nary a word did he utter." Last year, soon after his inauguration, the Governor wrote The Gazette that HE intended doing better by his Afro-American constituents, in the way of appointments to office, than any of his IN WHICH HEREBY HELPED ME predecessors in the office of chief executive of this state. To date HE HAS NOT GIVEN US A SINGLE PERSONAL APPOINTMENT, while those given by his subordinates and other members of his administration, with possibly one exception, are very medically indeed, and hardly worth mentioning. NOT ONE FIRST CLASS APPOINTMENT HAS HE OR THEY MADE DURING HIS TERM OF TWO YEARS, which is rapidly drawing to a close. This, too, in the face of his voluntary and published promise. His attention has been repeatedly called to the matter, without the slightest indication on his part that he intends, even at this late date, to do so. As to State Oil Inspector Carr's appointment of Hudson as a deputy oil inspector for this county, with Gov. Willis' approval of the same, in the face of the protests of our local ministers and other leading Afro-Americans this community, quite enough is said elsewhere in these columns to make clear the fact that our "beloved young Governor" cares about as much for the infamous playway matter, indicate. They, too, fully justify all that Dr. H. C. Bailey and our other ministers and other leaders of the Gazette and feel deeply in the case of Gov. Frank B. Willis. Thompson's withdrawal is only incidental and has no direct bearing or influence in the matter. We propose to do exactly what is said, and that is to hold the Governor to strict account for mistreatment that is not only inexcusable but positively insulting and vitally harmful to a struggling constituency that has heretofore been most loyal and helpful to him and the party, and that is deserving of far better treatment at his hands, to say the least. This is the most conservative and the only MANLY view of the matter that self and race respecting Afro-Americans of Ohio can take. Gov. Willis must and shall be made to realize that such shameful mistreatment will be resented at the polls, not only by other people, but also by ours. It is our only way to make him and others treat us with the respect and consideration clearly our due in common with all others. In closing his editorial, Editor Mitchell says: "As for Gov. Willis, following the lead of the brilliantly edited-Cleveland Gazette, we are not yet ready to lose either faith or confidence in 'the bold Chief Executive of Ohio.'" — Well, brother, if you are following the lead of The Gazette, which "stands shoulder to shoulder" with Dr. Bailey and our ministers and others in this matter, you will have to lose both faith and confidence in "our beloved young Governor" because he has certainly ruined both in us as far as he is concerned. To Gov. Willis we would quote (as correctly as memory will permit) the immortal Abraham Lincoln's everlasting statement: "You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people part of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." He fooled us for quite a year of his two-year term, and that is enough, Brother Mitchell. Self respect and a proper regard and respect for the interests of those of the race. In Ohio, compel us "to call a halt" and make clear to our people of Ohio the Governor's insulting and harmful attitude toward them. And we are but just beginning to do so, too. There shall be no halt until the close of election day in November.

We regard Gov. Willis of Ohio and Goy. Whitman of New York as about two of the best friends that colored folks have among these latter-day statesmen,—Richmond (Va.) Planet. Whitman may be alright, but O, that man Willis! Oup esteemed contem: porary will soon change his mind as to the latter. From a loyal Ohio Afro-American’s viewpoint, Theodore E. Burton is sim ply an impossibility as the Republican candidate for President. For nearly twenty years he sat in Congress and in all that time could not even be co- erced into saying or doing anything material in our behalf, “In his closing hours in the U. S. Senate when ap- pealed to by our people of Washing. ton, D. C., and Ohio, he “turned a deat ear” to their and our pleading for a word in behalf of vital interests of the ‘race, then pending in Congress. © yes, the “Colored brother” is there and the “coloriine” American is not saying a word “agin it” either. ‘The “flying colunm,” in advance of the eight thousand U. 8. soldiers in Mex. feo hunting Pancho Villa and his sol- diers, is made up of our gallant Tenth U. 8. cavalry and the Seventh U. S. cavalry, (“white”), under Col. Geo. Dodd. ‘These two are considered the “crack” cavalry regiments in the army. If there is any considerable fighting down there see how quickly they will “need” our other three regiments— the famous Ninth cavalry, Twenty: fourth and Twenty-fifth infantries, too, ‘What a pity it is that some leading member of the race—a good Republl can—did not enter as a candidate for delegate-at-large, instead of Ralph ‘Ty. Jer, of Columbus, an individual who has never had the confidence of our people since (if he ever had before) he allowed President Theodore “Brownsville” Roosevelt to appoint him to a job at Washington, D. C., in an effort to harm our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Fora- ker, Those who do not care to vote for Tyler or Willis can vote for Matt. Glaser, editor of the Cincinnati Re- publican, or Dr. Giffin of Columbus, both good Republicans and friends of the race—more than we can say for ‘Tyler. EXTRAVAGANT CLAIMS. ‘The “Sixth Annual Report, 1915” of the N. A. A.C. P,, just issued, con- tafhs among other equally extravagant statements, the following: “So far we have kept the film (“The Birth of a Nation”) out of the state of Ohio, the state of Kansas, and out of 1 nuinber of cities.” ‘This ts certainly news (2) to Ohio Afro-Americans, especially those who did what fie N. A. A.C. P. claims to have done and to be dog. Its off clas, at headquartera in*New York City, are apparently stil! determined “to claim everything in sight,” for it made substantially, the same claim relative to the Ohio antlintermarriage Dill of several years ago. If it did anything material to help kill that miserable thing, those of us here in Ohio who were most active in that fight, too, taled to discover it elther during or since that ¢ontest. We are willing to concede that you helped, if You say you did, but “for goodness sake" don’t say “we did it.” DR. BAILEY AND THE N.A.A.C.'P. In our editorial, in relation to Gov. ‘Willis and the oil inspectorship, we did not think it necessary to aay to our esteemed confrere of the Richmond (Va.) Planet that Dr. Bailey is not at all concerned. as to what the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (with headquarters in New York City) “intended,” thought or felt or may feel as to “affairs of this kind” he is “mixed up fn.” With ‘him, as with us, the only questions were, what is our DUTY In the mat- ter; are we right?) When these ques- tons were thoughtfully settled our ‘only course was clear, PERFECTLY CLEAR, and without the least hesita- tion we at onee entered upon it “with ‘all our might end main” and propose to “remain on the job” until the close ‘ef election day in November, and thereafter if it is found necessary. In this stand, Dr. Bailey has the support of the local N. A. A. C. P. organization and all other manly, loyal and intelli gent Afro-Americans in the commun- ity and the state of Ohio. It is not necessary for us to assure Editor Mitchell that The Gazette does not and never did “take orders” from any organization or individual in or out of the state of Ohio. IT STANDS FOR THE RACE, in season and out, and for it only! When Goy. Willis grossly insults and treats our people with su- preme contempt, as he certainly did in that Ol Inspectorship matter, he ‘must and WILL be made to pay for it, and in the only way it Is possible. All the cheap, white-man-bossed, curb- stone Negro politicians in Cleveland and elsewhere in Ohio cannot stop the movement we have inaugurated to see to it that this is done, Slowly but surely ministers and other leading 'men throughout Ohio are “putting thelr shoulders to the wheel” and de- pend upon it, Brother Mitchell, we are going to do just what we say. We shall “strike back!” Ohio Afro-Amer |Icans are not the kind to allow even the Governor of the great “Buckeye” ee to "play with and foo! then” fo quite a year, and more, and then cap the climax as he did in that Oi In spectorship matter. Willis’ experience in Congress at Washington, with southern Congressmen, has evidently done for him what it did for Theodore F, Burton and many others—change¢ them materially when it comes to ou people. | SaRaETEWICEIST He is but One Man and not the Re publican Party—Even it Owes Us Far More Than the Negro use Owea Columbus, O., March 17, 1916.

S. army, Monday, he was told that "Colored men were not being enlisted now." This when recruiting is going on as rapidly as possible under government orders to enlist 20,000 more men for the army, sounds strange to say the least. The Alpha Mu society met, Saturday, at Miss Edith Wright's, in its semi-annual business gathering and accepted a number of new members. It is to give a play soon.

He was arrested on Monday, at Scovill Av. and E. 28th St. Three men guarded him on the trip to Elyria to prevent a free exhibition of his art. "Star's" saloon has certainly secured recognition. One of his bartenders has been appointed to a position in the street-cleaning department, and the manager of the saloon was appointed a deputy oil inspector.

As we thought, that "clerkship" is practically a messengership. Here again, we have "the shadow for the substance." The Maschke-Davis faction certainly does not believe in "Negro" clerks at the City hall. D. D. Dancy of Youngstown, was in the city, last Friday, called on The Gazette and was entertained at dinner by the editor. Mr. Dancy was a resident of Cleveland about twenty-five years ago, being employed at "Gare Singing School," where he cared in the days when Frank Henderson, whom many of our older residents will remember, also worked there. For years the latter has been in business in a small city on Long Island, N. Y. Mr. Dancy is half-owner of possibly the finest barber shop in Youngstown, has studied law, and school since leaving Cleveland. His old friends will be pleased to hear of his success. EVENTFUL LIFE OF MAJOR YOUNG Noted Army Official Wins tha Spingarn Medal. GRADUATE OF WEST POINT. War Department Sends Special Representative to Meeting at Which Valued Trophy is Presented by Governor McCall—Major Young's Achievements in Military Affairs. Boston.—At a great mass meeting held under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People in Tremont temple in this city on Tuesday evening, Feb. 22, in the presence of thousands of eager and enthusiastic spectators the Hon. Samuel W. McCall, governor of Massachusetts, awarded the second Spingarn medal to Major Charles Young of the United States army for his work in organizing and training the constabulary of Liberia. This gold medal, valued at $100, is the gift of Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, chairman of the board of directors of the MAJOR CHARLES YOUNG. association and formerly professor of comparative literature in Columbia university. The Sipingarn medal is awarded annually to the man or woman of African descent and American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor. The committee which decided the award consisted of two northern white men, former President William Howard Taft and Owain Garrison Villard of the New York Evening Post; a southern white man, Dr. James H. Dillard of the University of the State of Utah; and jennes funds, and two colored men, President John Hope of Morehouse college, Atlanta, and Bishop John Hurst of the African Methodist Episcopal church Baltimore. Major Young was born in Kentucky in 1888 and was educated in the public schools of Ohio. He was appointed to the West Point Military academy from Ohio in 1885 and since graduating in 1888 has served in the Seventh, Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fifth infantry of the United States army. He was major of an Ohio battalion during the Spanish war. Afterward he was detailed as superintendent of the Sequoia and Grant National parks in California, where his interest and ability were commended in formal resolutions by the Visalia board of trade, which declared that "by his energy and enthusiasm and business qualities displayed the money set aside for improvements of the parks was wisely expended." In 1904 Major Young was sent to Haiti and thence twice to the Philippines, where in the absence of the colonel he was in command of the regiment on several occasions. He* was promoted to the rank of major in 1912 and was then sent as military attache to Liberia. There he undertook the work of reorganizing and training the Liberian constabulary, and it is especially for his brilliant work in this connection that he is awarded the Spingarm medal. Former Secretary of War Lindley M. Garrison wrote on Jan. 28 last: "It is especially gratifying to me to learn that Major Charles Young, Tenth United States cavalry, is to receive this recognition, for his services in Liberia have been of a high order. His service there has received the highest commendation from the president and secretary of state of Liberia, as well as from our own secretary of state and our charge d'affaires on Monrovia. I have directed the commanding general, eastern department, to designate an officer to represent the war department on the occasion." Major General Leonard Wood writes: "I appreciate very much the good work which has been done by Major Young in Liberia. He was selected for this work because of his special qualifications, good judgment and ability. It is a great satisfaction to know he has so fully met the requirements of that difficult situation. His service in in the army has been highly creditable to his race from every standpoint, and I beg you to transmit to blit my sincere congratulations on the good work which he has accomplished and the well earned recognition which he has received." CORRESPONDENTS WANTED. The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Dayton, Piqua, Mt. Vernon, East Liverpool, Akron, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. TELLING POINTS IN MAJOR CHARLES YOUNG'S CAREER Gallant Soldier Stood Test In School and Rose to Fame. According to the record, only three colored young men have ever graduated from the United States Military school at West Point—Lieutenants Flipper, Alexander and Young, Lieutenant Alexander died about nineteen years ago, and Flipper is not now in the service. Major Charles Young, to whom the second annual Sphingarm medal was awarded in Boston on the evening of Feb. 23, is a former first lieutenant of the Ninth United States cavalry. It has required an extraordinary degree of courage for colored men to face and live through the four years of petty persecutions and race hatred in the government military school. The colored man who is fortunate enough to get the appointment and smart enough to pass the examinations and sterling enough in the qualities of mansliness to complete the course and graduate deserves the very highest commendation. Major Young is about forty-seven years of age. His father was a gallant soldier in the Federal army during the rebellion. He moved over into Brown county, O., for the purpose of giving his son the best possible education. After graduating from the Ripley high school at the age of sixteen years Charles applied himself diligently to the study of Greek and Latin preparatory to entering a Jesuit college in Cincinnati. His ambition then was to become a priest. His diligent study after he left school and while teaching was fitting him for an opportunity that he little dreamed of. After two years of such preparation he entered a competitive examination for a cadetship from the Twelfth Ohio congressional district and won the appointment over twenty-seven competitors. After graduating he served five years with the fighting Ninth United States cavalry. Three years of the time he acted as post adjutant and post quartermaster. In addition to his duties as second lieutenant. In 1894 President Cleveland assigned him to duty at Wilberforce university, Ohio, as professor of military tactics and science. His work at this school was of the highest character. The reports that have been sent to Washington by the inspection officers show that the students of Wilberforce under Major Young's training are among the best drilled found in any of the colleges. The white students of Antich college have been glad to avail themselves of Mr. Young's mastery in the art of drilling. He was detailed by the war department for the inspection and instruction of the Ninth battalion of the Ohio national guard, in camp at Newark, O. In this work he was ably assisted by the students of his own training from Wilberforce university. He won his commission as first lieutenant by examination at Leavenworth, Kan. SOUTHERN RACE PREJUDICE. Various Schemes Tried to Thwart the Progress of Colored Americans. Progress of Colored Americans One of the problems that comes up annually is the south is that relative to the propriety and good policy of allowing white teachers in schools for colored people. Probably there is not a state whose legislators have not been forced to consider such a bill, usually with the result that it meets with overwhelming defeat. Mississippi is now wrestling with the problem, a bill having been introduced by Representative Stevens of Clay county recently, which would make it unlawful for any person to serve as a teacher in any school in the state attended by pupils of a different race. Mr. Stevens frankly states that the measure was designed to stop the teaching of colored youth by white persons and that it would apply to public and private schools alike, so it is said. Southern editors and southern educators have invaded against bills of this character for years, but this does not prevent their introduction. The bill now up in Mississippi is getting its full share of condemnation by southern editors. It is pointed out that if the Negro is to be taught at all it would be infinitely better for the white people if he were taught by white people, who could see that harmful, even dangerous, ideas and ideals are not instilled into his mind; that one thing for which the south is striving is to improve the mind and the habits of the Negro, and that to make a lawbreaker out of a white person who devotes her time and her talents to the education and uplift on another race would be the acme of shame is one view of the matter. In this connection an interesting experiment is being tried by a southern newspaper. Each morning a special section devoted to the activities of colored people, socially as well as otherwise, is printed. After the paper is run of one page is lifted, and in its stead is published a page about the colored race, which is sent to those colored persons who are subscribers to the paper. New Home For New York Y. M. C. A. Plans for the new building of the West Fifty-third street branch of the New York Young Men's Christian association are being drawn by John F. Jackson. Work on the building will be begun on May 1. The land and structure will cost about $8,000. The building will be located in Harlem at West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, near Ninth avenue. Fabulous Bird. The roc, a fabulous bird often referred to in the "Arabian Nights," was believed to be of such enormous size and strength as to be able to carry seven elephants in its talons. Discouraging. The woman who marries a man to reform him must be discouraged to see how much work one small specimen requires when an evangelist can arise and have them hitting the trail by the hundreds.

Once a woman has passed her first youth she knows that clothes now ‘must bo utilized to bring out her good points and to hide her defects. ‘The days have gone when she can wear a certain color Just because she is fond of it, Now she must regard its be comingness. ‘The fact that peacock blue was becoming to her at twenty: five does not necessarily mean that it fs equally becoming ten years later If her skin is becoming sallow and a bit wrinkled, if her hair is beginning to show a few streaks of gray, then she must select the colors of her gowns to hide these telltale marks of middle age. Color, perhaps, has more to do with making or marring the appearance than any other one thing Few wom en of middle age can wear brown suc- cessfully. When the ha’r is turning white or gray it {s particularly unbe coming, as the gray and e-own do not harmonize in the least. Brown seems to bring out all the unbecoming yel low qualities in yray hair. Dark blue ‘on the other hand, lends it a bluish white tinge that 1s soft and particu larly lovely. If your face is sallow never wear green. If, however, your hair is turning gray but your skin is white and clear with a soft pink flush in the cheeks, take to green kindly, as ft will be most becoming, and white ts always good. Vag oie lace ar aca The two essential differences be tween the new coats and those we are wearing rest in the front fastening and the cut of the collar. High postilion collars have given place in a few of the distinguished new models to the riding-habit collar, and the close, sin- glebreasted fastening that reaches from waist to neck has given way to a wide, double-breasted fastening with conspicuous buttons. There is some- thing quite reminiscent in this new coat of the one worn by the men of the Civil war, and if women take up the new idea of putting a deep pium colored cloth coat above a black-and- white checked skirt, the resemblance will be more complete. Original Workbags. ‘The workbag, which contains every- thing from fancy work to the latest novel, is a peculiar feature of the win- ter resorts.

In the hand-printed cretonnes and linens there are some lovely pur: ple dosigns of peacocks and parrots and flowers. Wicker furniture, enameled gray and fitted with purple cushions, or gray enameled wood with purple cushions, helps to carry out the color scheme, and for the floor there are lovely rugs in two tones of gray, and some in gray and purple or two tones of lavender.
