THIRTY FOURTH YEAR. NO. 41. IN VATICAN UNITAS SIVENTATI LEAGUE ASKS FULL MANHOOD RIGHTS Branch of National Body Issues Timely Memorial. SEES DANGER IN INJUSTICE Members of Militant Organization at Boston Declare Their Purpose to Remain True to Government—Equality of Legal Standing and Protection More Precious Than Much Gold. Boston—The Boston branch of the National Equal Rights league sends out the following memorial to the people of the United States. The league pledges loyalty to the government and asks that colored Americans be protected in their legal and civil rights along with other loyal citizens of the American republic. The league in its memorial says: "When this European war began the world involuntarily speculated whether the Irish would be loyal and the Russian Jews because of the denial of home rule by England and of civil and political rights by Russia. As the United States of America enters this awful war the world speculates whether Americans of color will be loyal because of the denial of rights to a majority of them. "Since colored Americans in the past have offered their lives in every way for the country, if Germany is seeking to induce them to revolt it but proves how notorious is their proscription. "If this nation, knowing the active loyalty of the Americans in the past, believes this alleged plotting could succeed it shows that the government and people believe that colored Americans are most unjustly treated. The Boston branch of the National Equal Rights league, meeting when the country is at war, realizing its responsibility as a branch of the only nation wide organization formed by and of and led by colored citizens to oppose race and color discrimination, declares false all charges of disloyalty. "Colored Americans would be less than human if they did not feel bitter every bar from employment, from public accommodation, because of our race and color. Deep is the resentment against enforced segregation by city, state or the federal government whether in the civil or military service. But we have no thought of taking up arms against this our country. Our it has been to save the government from rebellion. This work of our fathers we shall not destroy. There is not gold enough in all the treasures of the nations of the earth to corrupt us, for it is not a question of money, but of equality of rights." "Let neither white nor colored Americans seek to deny the truth of human nature. Soldiers of democracies fight better than soldiers of autocracies. The same men fight better if in time of peace they can sell their labor in the open market than if denied work because of race; fight better if public accommodation in peace depends on conduct and the price than if it is denied for color; fight more eagerly if in peace encouraged by possession of a free man's ballot than if represented by its denial; fight with more heart if in peace they have court protection than if their very race means possible murder by the mob. "To the national government which calls us all to war, to our fellow Americans of every race variety, we would appeal in the name of fair play, of justice and humanity. We are all citizens of a common country. "There is need no longer of subjection of Americans to the race prejudices of fellow Americans. In the presence of a common danger and a common obligation, with a war devastating Europe caused by racial clamishness and racial hatred, under Almighty God let the United States of America and the people thereof give up race proscription and persecution at home. Let the door of the workshop, the school, the college, the civil service, the army, the navy, the military school, the naval school now and henceforth open alike to every citizen of the republic without regard to race and with out distinction of color. Let the right to travel, to vote, to have court protection be free, without barrier or denial. "Give, Mr. President and all our governors, the same encouragement for volunteering or enlisting to white, to brown, to yellow, to black, Americans all, by vouchsafing the same free chance to enlist, to rise on merit, and on return home the same right to civil service and to civil rights without bar or segregation. "Now is the time for all in authority to declare for the abolition of all racial discriminations and proscriptions and for all to join in our unyphened Americanism for victory under the flavor of the God of all mankind."

Washington.—The annual conference of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, meeting in this city at the First Congregational church, Tenth and G streets Northwest, on Wednesday and Thursday, May 16 and 17, embraces many important features. The first big item on Wednesday evening, besides the addresses of Dean William Pickens of Morgan college, Baltimore, and Charles Edward Russell of New York, is the awarding of the Spingarn medal to the successful candidate. This medal, costing $100, is given annually by Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York to the man or woman of the Negro race in America who performs the highest and most distinguished service during the fiscal year of the as- TOMMY BROWN AND JOHN BROWN sociation. This year United States Senator Wesley L. Jones of the state of Washington was chosen to present the senator. Senator Jones is a stanch friend of equal rights for the colored people as well as for all other true and loyal American citizens. Last year, 1916, the medal was awarded to Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young for his services in reorganizing the constabulary of Liberia. The first medal was conferred upon Dr. E. E. Just of Howard university for his original researches in biology. The afternoon of Thursday, the 17th, was devoted to an open conference on the exodus and the pressing problems growing out of the war. Not only our own branches, but leaders and organizations of all kinds, are cordially invited to take counsel with the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, says Mr. Roy Nash, secretary of the association. REPORTS ON HEALTH WEEK Contest In Cleanup Work Has Elicited Favorable Comments. The announcement of the contest for the best cleanup work during the national Negro health week, held from April 22 to 28, has elicited most favorable comments from white and colored people in all sections of the south. Letters from various committees organized to conduct cleanup campaigns indicate that the interest in this movement for better health is unsurpassed by that of any other similar movement conducted among our people. President J. C. Napier of the National Negro Business league spent several days recently at Tuskegee institute in conference with Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary. It was agreed that all the communities planning to report their clean up activities for consideration in connection with the silver cups offered by the national clean up and paint up bureau should send their reports to the Tuskegee institute. It is worth while to bear in mind three important conditions regarding the contest-first, the reports should not exceed 700 words; second, the reports should all be typewritten; third, the reports should be mailed to the secretary, National Negro Business league, Tuskegee institute, Alabama. We Pledge Allegiance to Our Flag Only. The numerous offers by groups of colored men throughout the country to recruit companies for service in the present crisis of the nation has given the lie to the rumor current in some sections that the colored people are not loyal to the flag. The race owes no allegiance to any other country not honors any other national emblem but the Stars and Stripes. No wonder Colonel W. S. Copeland of Hampton, Va., says, "German intrigue cannot corrupt colored Americans." ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1917. BURLEIGH WINS SPINGARN MEDAL BURLEIGH WINS SPINGARN MEDAL Noted Composer Given Famous Prize at Washington. AWARDED BY SENATOR JONES Brief Story of Henry Thacker Burleigh's Rise From Obscurity to National Prominence In The Musical World -Rich Trophy Is Donated Annually by Dr. J. E. Spingarn. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Washington, May 16. — The third Spingarn medal was awarded here last night to Henry Thacker Burleigh of New York, the distinguished composer of songs, at a meeting in the First Congregational church, held under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Moorfield Storey of Boston, the national president of the association, presided. The presentation was made by Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States senator from Washington. The Spingarn medal is awarded annually to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor, the candidate being chosen by a committee of award, which includes Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, Hon. William Howard Taft, John Hope, president of Morehouse college, Atlanta; Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Slater and Jeanes funds, and Oswald Garrison Villard of the New York Evening Post. The committee's choice is not limited to any one field, whether that be intellectual, spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. So the winning of the Spingarn medal has come to be the greatest distinction which can be conferred upon an American Negro. The medal is of gold, of the value of $100, and is donated by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People and formerly professor of comparative literature in Columbia university, who is at present in training for his major's commission at Madison barracks, New York. Henry Thacker Burleigh, the winner of the medal for 1017, is a composer whose songs have for two or three seasons past been sung by a list of prominent singers which would make any composer's mouth water, from John McCormack to Kitty Cheatham. One song, "Deep River," has probably appeared on concert programs during the past season more times than the work of any other contemporary composer. And across the ocean Burleigh's "The Young Warrior," with words by the Negro poet James Weldon Johnson, translated into Italian and orchestrated by the great Zandolan, has become a sort of patroltic anthem of the present war. Mr. Burleigh's compositions include about 100 songs, a few festival anthems for church chorus and a volume of plantation melodies, which he compiled in an effort to save them from falling into oblivion. The small group of songs by which he is best known include "Deep River," "The Gray Wolf," to words by Arthur Symons; a superb setting of Walt Whitman's "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors," "The Soldier" and "Jean." "The Five Songs of Laurence Hope," writes a critic in the Boston Transcript of March 10, "probably represent Mr. Burleigh's best work. Here are haunting melodies, accompaniments rich in detail, yet not overwritten, striking bits of deliberation and much skill in the wedding of music to words." Regarding "The Soldier." A. Walter Kramer in Musical America wrote: "Wars produce a mass of inconsequential literary and musical stuff. The present European conflict is no exception. * * * But I think that this Burleigh setting of Rupert Brooke's inspired lines will be among the important art products of the great war when the record is made." These creative achievements have necessarily been snatched from a life of routine musical toll, by which Mr. Burleigh has earned his daily bread. Since 1804 he has been bartone solostin in St. George's church, one of New York's old and aristocratic congregations, and for seventeen years he has sung at the Temple Emanu-El as well. These achievements become doubly significant when one realizes how Mr. Burleigh has worked his way forward almost without aid, handicapped by color as well as poverty. It is related how Mr. Burleigh as a boy in Erie, Pa., contracted pneumonia from standing in the snow outside the drawing room window of Mrs. Elizabeth Russell, where his family was in service, in order to hear Rafael Josef play, and was given a chance to open the door for the guests when later Teresa Carreno played at the Russell home in consequence. Working at Erie, Pa., as a stenographer until he was twenty-six, in 1892 he came to New York and out of 500 applicants was given a scholarship in the National Conservatory of Music, where he studied for four years. By teaching singing during his last year there, together with assisting the secretary, the mother of the well known American composer, E. A. MacDowell, he was able to liquidate his indebtedness to the founder of the institution. During one summer Mr. Burleigh worked at a hotel in Saratoga in order to make enough to carry him through until the following Christmas. But when, in 1894, the young musician, standing upon the threshold of his career, secured the position of solist at St. George's, in competition with sixty other applicants, his path became much easier. His talent for interpretation of his own folksongs soon became widely known, and he was in demand to sing in concerts and in the musical programs of the leading mansions of fashionable New York and elsewhere. The achievements last year which won Mr. Burleigh the Sipring medal are but the mature fruitage of a long life of consecrated labor. This is the third year the medal has been awarded. The first was presented to Dr. E. E. Just of Howard university for original research in biology, Governor Whitman making the presentation in New York. In 1916 the governor of Massachusetts presented the second medal in Boston to Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young of the Tenth cavalry, United States army, for his services in reorganizing the constabulary of Liberia, West Africa. NEW YORK PAPER'S OPINION OF POLITICS IN THE SOUTH Evening Mail Sees Little Progress Toward a Real Democracy. The Evening Mall, New York, recently carried the following editorial under the caption "The Hope of the South and the Nation." At the ballot box the south stands today where it stood half a century ago. It is like a voter who makes his X mark under the symbol of his partnership and seeks no greater responsibility or activity in the big decisions of his day. He votes his prejudices, and there his interest ceases. In the same way the south subordinates all else to its fixed purpose to control the Negro in all of his activities and to perpetuate its feud against the Republican party no matter in what form or by whom Republican policies are advocated. Every effort under Republican auspices has failed to loosen the grip of the past on the vote of the south. There is less indication of success by that influence today than there was ten years ago. Every one concedes that it is not helpful to the development of the south that it should remain permanently as a sort of no man's land politically, nor is it well for the nation. The south ought to be an open forum. It ought to take its rightful place as a factor in the solution of all our national problems, viewing them in the light of today and not in the darkness of yesterday. We do not mean to say that the south should be Republican. It is as unintelligent to be blindly partisan one way as another. What we mean is that the south should not let the Negro dominate it and shape its destinies as he is doing today. Southern people believe that they are dominating their Negro population, whereas the reverse is true. The Negro may not vote, but he dictates that white vote. It is cast in fear of him, regardless of every other consideration. It is cast against the Republican party because it is the party that gave the Negro the rights which the south is determined he shall not exercise. HAMPTON HONORS CELE. Dramatic Club Presents "Oedipus at Colonus" For South African's Benefit Columbus - For South African Benefit. Hampton institute does not teach Greek as a language, but through the Sophoclean Dramatic club, a student organization, its workers and students once, see a year, a careful and artistic presentation of some fine Greek plays. For the benefit of Madikane Q. Cele (a Hampton graduate) and his work in South Africa the Sophoclean club recently played "Oedipus at Colonus," translation by Sir George Young—the last play written by Sophocles, but the second of the three dealing with Oedipus and his family, the first being "Oedipus the King" and the last "Antigone," which was presented last year. A history of the play follows: Oedipus, for many years a wise and honored king of Thebes, found out late in life that instead of being the son of the king of Corinth, as he had always supposed, he was really the son of the king of Thebes, Laius, whom he had killed in self defense many years before and whose name he had never known. This and other laws broken in innocence so affected his mind that, in despair and self reproach, he put out his own eyes and allowed his kingdom to pass into the hands of his two young sons, Polynices and Eteocles, and their mother's brother, Creon, who acted as their regent or councilor. To gain their own selfish ends both Creon and the sons made the old king's life so unhappy that he was at last forced to leave his native city and wander in other lands. The two daughters were loyal to their father, Antigone, the elder, sharing his wanderings as his guide and Ismene remaining at home to guard her father's interests. Through an oracle of Apollo the rulers and people of Thebes learned that the welfare of their city was to depend henceforth upon the presence either in life or death of their deposed king. To gain this blessing of the gods and at the same time to continue their own plans they decided to bring back the wanderer and imprison him just outside the city walls, where they could control him while he lived and claim the blessing promised to the city that should hold his grave. SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER. Our people have lost their last great, aggressive, white friend. The Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker soldier, jurist, statesman and orator—Ohio's first citizen—died at his home in Cincinnati last week Thursday. He had been in poor health since his retirement from the Senate in 1909, but it was not until two weeks ago that he was forced to his bed, and his condition was not considered critical until last week Wednesday night. Ten days ago he fainted when leaving his office in the Traction building, that city. He rallied but suffered a relapse. Monday. He had been unconscious 24 hours when he died. Mr. Foraker is survived by a widow, three daughters; Mrs. Florence Matthews of Cincinnati, Mrs. Victor Cushman of Washington and Mrs. F. King Wainright of Philadelphia; and a son, Mrs. Florence Wainright of Bowie, family was at his bedside. The deceased was born on a farm near Rainbow, Highland county, this state, July 5, 1846, and marched to the front in the War of the Rebellion when only nine days past sixteen years of age. He was mustered out before he was old enough to vote, but had earned a first lieutenant's commission and been breveted captain for exceptionally good service. He studied at Ohio Wesleyan College, Delaware, O, and at Cornell University, New York state, being admitted to the bar in 1869. He located in Cincinnati for the practice of the law, and at the age of thirty-three was judge of the Superior Court of that city, serving three years. At thirty-nine, he was governor of Ohio—being the first governor of Ohio (two terms) he was a member of the U. S. Senate. The writer as a member of the Ohio legislature, in 1896, had the honor of voting for our great and good friend. Senator Foraker was chairman of the Ohio Republican state conventions in 1886, 1890, 1896 and 1900 and was a delegate-at-large from Ohio to the national Republican conventions of 1844, 1888, 1892, 1896, 1900 and 1904, and in the 1884 and 1888 conventions presented the name of John Sherman for the nomination for the presidency. He also presented the name of Will McInley of his presidential presidency. In 1896 he was his father's friend, President Cleveland's "No rebel flags shall be returned while I am Governor", would have secured him the Republican nomination for the presidency in 1888 had Gov. Foraker been less loyal to the candidacy of Senator Sherman. The writer, who was in attendance upon the national convention, has personal knowledge of this and other facts in connection therewith which he hopes, at a distant date, to give to the readers of the Gazette. Judge Foraker's personal magnetism, loyalty and personal experience, have what secured him such a large and loyal following throughout his public career and until his death. His superb eloquence, coupled with his great ability and energy, were what made him recognized generally as one of the past quarter of a century. In his young days he was black-haired, handsome, distinguished, straight and tall; for ten years he sat in the Senate as the President and so much relative to the Senator's grand fight for "The Black Batallion" and the race, and it is still so fresh in the memory of all of our people of this country, that fuller comment on it at this time is unnecessary. His last public activity was the publication, in 1916, of his political memoirs (2 large vols.) entitled "Notes of A Busy Lite", a remarkably interesting and comprehensive work compiled after many many months of careful preparation. Perhaps there never was a favorite son of Ohio who held his popularity longer or more closely than did the late Joseph Benson Foraker. There have been favorite sons of a passive sort, men whose names were held in the public eye, but whose demands, but Senator Foraker was an aggressive, battling, vigorous "Buckeye" of the "Buckeyes." He had been called the Marc Anthony of his time; he had been called the Henry of Navarre. If to be fearless and frank and fiery, and honest, en titled him to these comparisons they were properly his. As we have said he was one of the most effective orators the political history of this country has known. As a campaigner he had few equals. His eloquence was enhanced by his splendid poise, his appropriate gestures, his dramatic emphasis. His speeches dazzled, they entertained, and they edified. Thousands viewed the remains from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m. at Cincinnati, Sunday. The family has our heartfelt sympathy and that of all of our people. HARRY C. SMITH. "NOTES OF A BUSY LIFE." Cincinnati, O., May 7, 1917. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: — Under separate cover we are sending you a new Set which will be published by THE BUSY LIFE" by the Hon. Joseph Benson Porson. The author has sketched his experience of three years in the Union Army, three years on the Bench, four years as Governor of Ohio, and twelve years in the Senate of the United States. He deals with many political and public events of great importance and incidentally he met in conjunction characters whom he met in connection with other quotes letters from Presidents Hayes, Harrison, McKinley, Taft and Roosevelt, and from Senators Sherman and Hanna, Secretary Hay and other distinguished Americans which have never before been published. He covets the Panama Canal, and many other important subjects, closing with comments on modern developments in political methods and practices, having special reference to the Initiative, Referendum, Recall and Primary system of making nominations, all of special interest at this time when these methods being tested are practical experience. The book will provide an interest to all students of our political history, whether they are public officials or "only public spirted Americans interested in the preservation of our Institutions. The STEWART & KIDD CO., Publishers-Bookseers JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER Sandusky, O, May 14th, 1917. Editor Gazette. My dear friend Smith: -Time and the reaper of death have again taken one of our friends. I refer to the late Hon. J. B. Foraker. Some time ago the columns of The Gazette are an advertisement of Foraker's. "Notes of a Busy Life." Then the author, my uncle N. John, gone, and I want the compilation of his work written by himself. Please send the two volumes for the check inclosed. I believe our race is thoroughly saddened in the passing of Judge Foraker. He was an able, an eloquent and fearless advocate of their rights; and of the great principles that lie at the foundation of the American government. These principles if properly espoused and applied would soon remedy many serious and vital evils. The nation had such a champion in Senator Foraker. Nature seemed to combine in him those noble qualities that make a MAN in the best sense of the human being. He was a brilliant mind and eloquent tongue he feared no task nor any person. Under popular adverse criticism and with the administration at Washington against him, with a marvelous fund of information he pleaded the cause of the Negro soldiers of Brownsville. I am sure the country, aside from the Negro, must have admired the ability, the fortitude, the forensic eloquence and convincing logic of his argument. Perhaps his position forestalled future political prestige, but it placed his name forever in the hearts and annals of a grateful people and high above the prejudices and petty jealousies of the day and of the hour. Judge Foraker was not without fault; no man is; but nature had so thoroughly endowed him and made him the shadowed all else. Reluctantly and sorrowfully we bid farewell to this friend and chieftain, but his spirit will abide with us to make more rapid and sure the progress of the Negro race in America. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WORTHY OF CONFIDENCE. German Intrigue Will Not Corrupt Colored Americans, Says Col. Copeland. Hampton, Va.—The large gathering of colored Americans in the gymnasium of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute recently, the speeches which were made by men of that race and the response of the audience to the patriotic appeals of speakers of both races are sufficient proof that the Negroes are loyal to the flag and may be counted upon to do their share of the fighting. It was a notable fact that the highest tributes to the loyalty of colored Americans were paid by Colonel W. S. Copeland, governor of the Soldiers' home, near here. He is a veteran of the war between the states and a Virginia editor whose early life was spent in a southern state while that war was in progress and who knew by experience the fidelity of the colored people. German intrigue presumes that all men are traitors at heart and may be weaned from their allegiance by bribery, says Colonel Copeland, but German intrigue will not corrupt the colored citizens of this country. "The Negro, the southern Negro, the Negro citizen of the United States, as anybody full familiar with his character knows full well," says the Christian Science Monitor, "unfortunately for the purposes of the German strategist, diplomatist and conspirator, is loyalty personified. He is true to the core. He has given countless exhibitions of self-sacrifice devotion such as have left, neither in the south, north nor in the nation as a whole, any lingering doubt of his personal or national fidelity. "He is loyal to a cherished conviction in the southern household, in the southern community, in the southern heart and wherever he is best known as he deserves to be throughout the land. He is not treacherous, he is not deceitful, he is not underhanded, he is not ungrateful, he is not a plotter, he is not a conspirator. He is not at all deserving of the confidence or reliance of the imperial German government in any enterprise that calls for treason." There are renegades in the colored race as there are renegades in the white race, says the Newport News (Va.) Daily Press editorially, but as a people they are faithful and loyal. In this community there have been many expressions on the part of the whites of their faith in the loyalty and patriotism of the colored people and that faith will not be betrayed. COLLEGE DEBATING LEAGUES Teams of Three Schoola Break Even In Triangular Debate. Atlanta, Ga.—There is a great and growing interest in intercollegiate debating among the Negro colleges of the United States and particularly in the south. There are several triangular leagues. The one between Atlanta, Fisk and Howard is perhaps the oldest and the one that has attracted widest notice. The annual triangular debate held in April was upon the subject, "Resolved, That the National Government Should Require Compulsory Arbtration of Disputes Between Capital and Labor." Atlanta university met Fisk in this city and won by a unanimous decision of the judges. Fisk met Howard in Nashville, Tenn., and won, while Howard met Atlanta in Washington and won, so that in every case the home team won from the visiting team. Atlanta and Fisk have been debating for eleven years, during which time Atlanta has won six contests, while Fisk has won five. There is also keen interest manifested in Negro-colleges over the present outlook of the world's war. Atlanta university's first representative, in the person of James Williams, the star fullback on the football team, has gone to the front as a United States cavalryman. He will be sorely missed, but perhaps the whole team will follow his example. Graduates of Atlanta university are showing a timely interest in the endowment fund commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the university. Clubs in various parts of the country are making encouraging contributions. This is as it should. Negro graduates and Negro people in general must contribute more toward the maintenance of their institutions if they expect people in general to give to them. Perhaps there is no institution in all the country that has so much to show in gifts from its loyal and loving graduates as Atlanta university has. Rev. James Enoch Churchman Dies. Rev. James Enoch Churchman Dies. By the death of the Rev. James Enoch Churchman of 78 Oakway avenue, Orange, N. J. at St Mary's hospital, in Orange, on April 23, the race loses one of its ablest young men. The Rev. Mr. Churchman was organizer for the National Equal Rights league, a business man and an eloquent preacher. He was a member of several organizations for the civic and social betterment of the race, in each of which he played an important part. Mr. Churchman's last great public address was delivered in Faneuil hall, Boston, at the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass, Feb. 14. The Rev. Mr. Churchman was forty-three years of age. Deny Statement of German Sympathy. The colored people of Wilmington, N. C., are indignant over a report recently circulated that the race in Wilmington sympathized with Germany in the present crisis to the exclusion of their own country. It was stated by one of the speakers at a meeting held in Wilmington the last of March that the first three victims of the German submarine slaughter were colored men who died at their post in defense of the American flag.

"Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our work to the end understand it"—Abraham Lincoln. --- "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill. Old soldiers are noting that just as the Cox administration is letting old soldiers out of positions in Ohio it is letting in "The Birth of a Nation." "Ohio is to be restored to Republicanism."—Senator Harding. We sincerely hope so, Senator. NO COLONIZING LAST FALL NO COLONIZING LAST FALL. During the election Bill Finley, chairman of the State Democratic committee, had much to say about the Republicans colonizing Ohio with colored men from the South and plant partisan officials gave out interviews claiming they were on the lookout and arrests were to follow. No arrests were ever made. It was never intended to make any. There was no colonizing. The whole thing was a clever appeal to race prejudice and a move to take public attention away from some political tricks the Democrats were preparing to turn. Now there is no election pending and the exodus of Afro-Americans from the South continues. The reason they are leaving the South in droves is that they are tired of being treated like the cattle of the fields. They are coming North because there is freedom here. The numbers of refugees are increasing day by day and week by week. Cincinnati is one of the centers through which they pass and the local authorities there are unable to house them. The health officer has appealed in vain to the state and federal authorities to stop the immigration. In the meantime Mr. Finley is silent on the subject of colonization and we look in vain in the Democratic press for the "We view with Alarm" editorials that told an affronted populace how the Republicans were "importing Negroes to carry elections," last fall. "THE U. S. ONLY POSES"! "Not until the United States has given self-government to women can it blaze the way for democracy," declared Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National Woman's Suffrage association, in an address at Columbus, O., Sunday afternoon before the Mississippi valley victory suffrage conference. She scored the United States for posing in the world war as the champion of democracy when "it is only a democracy for half her people." Hardly "half her people." Mrs. Catt was relentless in her charge that "ours is a democracy that doesn't 'democ.'" "We had better blot the mote from our own eyes before we go forth and want to blot it from the Prussian eye," she said, declaring further that the United States has no right to talk about "making the world safe for democracy" as long as it believes in drawing the sex line." And she might have added—the color-line. "There is nothing more illogical," she said, "than to insist that man have the divine right to rule over women and say at the same time that kings haven't divine right to rule over men. Ours is not a true democracy. The battle of democracy won't be won in this country until we rebaptize our nation and re-establish real democracy." Ten million Afro-Americans are without their rights, and if women can demand the privilege of voting in spite of the war, it is time for us to demand a square deal, especially our distranchised million and a half in the South. Rights are seldom granted except in a crisis. SENATOR FORAKER. A great man passed when Senator Joseph B. Foraker died. He was a patriot in his youth. He was a captain in the army of the Union when he was only a boy. He was a patriot in the last year of his life when his beloved country is again passing under the rod of war. He was a patriot every year and every day of his life. The school boy cannot read the story of this great American's life without finding in it an appeal to his patriotism and an inspiration to serve his country. Foraker was a just judge, a great his country. And what an orator he was! No wonder he was an object of hero-worship to the men of Ohio. Manly in form, handsome in feature, commanding in every action, he was one of those rare men that nature governor, a leader in the Senate of casts for leadership and who never fall to make good in any enterprise they may embark upon. He never knew the meaning of the word fear. He was one of the old-time type of statesmen who dared to think for themselves and dared to say what they thought. He was a Republican of Republicans.. He learned the lessons of liberty in the days of the war for the Union and the freedom of the slave. PETER H. BURKE He was always the friend of the oppressed. Every citizen of Ohio will mourn his loss and every Republican will doubly mourn it. He was the last of that galaxy of great Republicanans gone before and among whom we recall, Wade, Giddings, Chase, Stanton, Hayes, Garfield, Foster, Nash, Sherman, McKinley. His name and fame will long be cherished in the state of his nativity and of his career, in the councils and memories of his party, and in the minds and hearts of our people the country over. Since the days of William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Frederick Douglass and their most brilliant coworkers, there have been just three men of the other race who, as true and aggressive friends of the race, sincere and thoroughly unselfish, measured up to them, and they were Charles Sumner, Albion W. Tourgee and our great and good friend, Joseph Benson Foraker. And while the first two of these three suffered greatly because of their active efforts in behalf of our people, it remained for the last named to make the greatest sacrifice. At the very zenith of his career as a statesman his political future was snuffed out because of his espousal of the cause of "The Black Battallion," the Roosevelt-Taft victims of the alleged "Brownsville Affray." We have lost our best friend, the last great one, and to say our people from one end of this land to the other feel it and feel it keenly is putting it far too mildly. It is as if one of the dearest members of our families had passed out and there were none to take his place. A GREAT HONOR! Hon. Charles W. Anderson, the Race's Only Representative at This Banquet—Another "Ohio Boy," Major Charles Fillmore, Honored in the "Empire City." New York City.—Last Friday night, at the monster banquet given in honor of the French and British War Com- pany, the 1500 guests marched from the reception room to the banquet hall, four abreast. Mr. Henry Clews, the great Wall St. banker, sent a waiter through the crowd to find the Hon. Charles W. Anderson and invited him to march in to the banquet hall with him and his friend the Marquis of Aberdeen. As Mr. Anderson had already accepted the invitation of Mr. Belmont to go in with him, the party was consolidated, and Mr. Anderson marched in with Messrs. August Belmont, Henry Clews and Lord Belmont, the banquet was one long to be remembered. Over 4000 applications had to be denied. Never has there been, in the history of this country, a gathering of so many distinguished and wealthy men. Mr. HON. CHARLES W. ANDERSON. Anderson and party sat at table No 30, which was very near the guests dals. William Barclay Parsons, the celebrated civil engineer and trustee of Columbia College, R. Fulton Cutting, Stephen Peabody, both wealthy philanthropists, Henry Bacon, brother of the ex-Ambassador, and Ralph Folks, Commissioner of Public Works of this city, were among those at the same table. The banquet was indeed a very great occasion. Major Chas. W. Fillmore, another Ohio boy, now a captain in the 15th N. Y. infantry regiment, was recently presented with an automatic pistol, holster and belt by the Ohio Society of N. Y. City, through Capt. H. E. Crall, treasurer of that organization. On receiving these very necessary equipment, Fillmore said: "As an Aniohano, I feel proud of my native state, and will endeavor to represent it as I have always done, with honor and credit as a true and loyal 'Buckeye'." Capt. Fillmore has three commissions, signed by Ohioans—1st Lieut. and Major, 9th Battalion, Infantry, O. N. G., and 1st Lieut., U. S. V., (Spanish-American war), issued by the late President Wm. McKinley, and the 1st Lieut. become a major of the 15th N. Y. His home in Ohio was at Springfield, the he has lived in Columbus O., and Washington, D. C. THE GAZETTE.

Church, recently returned from a trip to Africa. L. A. Headon, of Chicago, is said to have invented a device that "wraps the submarine chaser in a cloak of mystery and keeps the enemy from seeing it." Headen is said to be our first licensed operator of an aero- plane. The great activity of Dr. J. E. Spiarnas as a white man, one outside the race, on such a vital matter, in promoting any segregation measure by this administration, is unfortunate. It seems officious and coming at a time when the nation is getting into a very tight place, for a professed white friend to try to rush aid to the Wilson forces in corraling Colored assistance, savors too much of exploitation—Boston Guardian. The committee of one hundred, thus declared its patriotism, and waited on the Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, and exiled from the United States of the American government, was told that all that could be offered the colored people, was positions in the Commissary department, cooks, etc., that the colored people could not expect anything more, because they only constituted a small portion (only ten million) of the American population. Now the American people freeze you?—Washington (D. C.) Bee Replying to Dr. J. E. Spingarn and others, at Washington, D. C., recently, Secretary of War Newton D. B.aker said that he could not establish a "jim crow" training camp at this time, but that he was seriously considering the whole matter and was committed to the plan for training colored officers for colored regiments. He stated he had not decided whether to have a separate battalion of colored officers for camp or separate and distinct camp for colored officers, and would take "whichever" was least offensive to the colored people. We do not want any segregation, Mr. Secretary! Information has reached The Gazette from New York City, that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People pays Dr. W. E. Du Bois a salary of $3,600, raising it from $2,500 several months ago. Pretty "nity" salary for the editor of "The Crisis," isn't it? For years he has been a member of the organization ever since he was brought North, from Georgia (where he was a member of the faculty of Atlanta University) by the white promoters of the organization. We do not object to the pay he receives but we have a right, since the N. A. A. C. P. has been and still is so very industrious in its efforts to collect money from our people, to expect larger and better returns from both the organization and the man. What do our race papers think about Editor Smith of the Old Reliable Cleveland Gazette has on his war paint and in his aeroplane decked with machine guns is firing on the N. A. A. C. P. Can't say he is right; shouldn't he say is wrong. Investigating. Have you seen the Boils and Villard on the credit sheet for opposing Hughes for Wilson, who not only deceived them, but segregated Negroes in all the departments at the Nation's Capitol. We don't like "colored" in the name of the association, not not National Association for the Advancement of Humanity."—Pioneer Press. Our good friend, Editor John Q. Adams, of the Saint Paul Appeal, is painfully mindful of the atrocities perpetrated on the Belgians by the Germans, and says so in his usual vigorous way. This is all very well. Brother Leopold, of the Congo, and the French, don't forget how King Leopold, of the Belgians, and his exploiters, cut off noses, feet and hands of poor natives of the Congo, and subjected them to other nameless indignities. While we view the plight of the Belgians with pity, it reminds us of the retributive justice which is abused in the Congo, and misuse their fellow man. — Martinusburg (W. J. Pioneer Press. Ohio showed at the polls that it took its peace-at-any-price teachers very seriously last summer and the autumn following, and now the state refuses to flop over to the other side as quickly as some of its loudest shouters for war who were foremost from rural Wisconsin because he had "kent us out of war." Gradually, the effects of the campaign and what preceded it are wearing off and in the end the state will redeem itself and win back the place where it belongs, up close to the head of the line. Ohio is sound at the core but this commonwealth had been under exceptionally benign handling for many years, before the national crisis came—Cleveland Daily Leader. U. S. TO CENSOR 'DISLOYAL' FILMS. Columbus, O.—Word has been received by the Ohio board of moving picture censors that the federal government is censoring all un-patriotic and pro-German films, thus relieving the state board of the dut of "killing" them. Some one call the government's attention to "The Birth of a Nation." A COWARDLY, UNTIMELY SUR RENDER! Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, in the Branch Bulletin of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, comes out in full and abject accord with Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, the Chairman of the Board of the Advancement directors, on the jim-crow movement. It seems to us, makes the case complete. The Association which has for its name the Advancement of Colored People, unconditionally surrenders to those associated for the degradation of colored people. Tuskegee, in all its political efforts, has never yet advanced a "jim-crow" proposition. Tuskegee revived as conservative by the radical PROFESSOR J. E. SPINGARN. Advancement Association is now in turn disgracefully and hopelessly out-Tuskegee. Booker T. Washington, if he were alive, would never have countenanced, let alone counseled, such a monstrous proposition as this. We can candidly advise the gentleman of the Advancement Association that the race at large not only does not thank them for this surrender at this critical juncture, fraught with splendid strategic opportunities for the race, but is hardly condone that it is the most lamentable blunder that any man essaying to represent colored people has made since freedom. The cry of all sensible men at every step in the life of the freedmen has been forward! Now, during this fateful hour when race proscription and class bars throughout the world are being swept away, for those essaying to be radical for the rights of the race to surrender in advance not only reveals the silly selfishness of these advocates, but their crass moral cowardice. Dr. Spingarn, after the cold reception his proposition received at the Sunday meeting, held under the auspices of the weak-kneed and time-serving Urban League, can have only a faint hope in the hardly condone that it is the great good that he has done is undoing in his mad new venture. * * * Now that the Association enters the mad scramble of the barter and sale of race equality, it should at least acquire sufficient diplomacy and strategy not to sell the race out before an offer is made for its services. Since it is made for its business it should, at least for the sake of the race, drive as hard a bargain as possible, to the most sincere appreciation of Dr. Spingarn that he is meeting in a race matter in a way to earn its eternal hatred. Never, Doctor, advise the colored citizen to accept less than an equal's place, if you would retain his continued friendship. — New York News. LIBERIA'S BREAK CONFIRMED. Washington, D.

New York, N. Y.—It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually in this country alone are taking it, and the strength of their immune systems have been reported from its use both by doctors and laymen, that a number of physicians in various parts of the country are being asked to explain why they perceive it so extensively, and why it apparently produces so much better results than we have obtained from the old forms.

As we have said a hundred times ago, we have said the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxuria iron when they feel weak or run down, instead of dosing themselves with strong drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages, I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in their bodies and thereby the loss of thousands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, gripe, kidney failure, trouble and disease in gerous malades.

Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact, a young man he really was, notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron nuxated iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly all in—now at 50 after taking Nuxated iron a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly-looking. Just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well you owe all yourself to make the following test. See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. If you can do five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxted roo or oo there is a long-standing case of anaemia all around people, in my old school iron.

James, M.D. have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time, simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate, or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. The iron demanded by mother nature for the red coloring matter in the blood of her children is, alas! not that kind of iron. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless.

SHEPARD National Training School DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA New York, N.

Last week Wednesday evening, the night before colorline Luna park was formally opened, the Caterers' Association dance fattened the treasury of that corporation by HUNDREDS of dollars. The very next day those Negroes who danced, Wednesday night, could not do so in Luna Park dance hall; nor enjoy the skating-rink and bathing pool there, either. And still we complain when discursive against playing public places? If we insist on placing a premium of hundreds and even thousands of dollars on such insulting and humiliating discrimination, as the Caterers' Association and Cleveland Association of Colored Men have done with their Luna Park affairs in recent years, how can we ever hope or expect to wipe out color-lines in local public places? Those who attended last Wednesday evening as the members of the two organizations named, can ask themselves this question and benefit thereby.

For catalogue and detailed information address Pres. JAS. E. SHEPARD National Training School DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA Personals (Continued from Page 3) Dr. J. K. Nicken's illustrated lecture at Shiloh, last week Thursday evening, attracted about 500 persons, packing the church and S. S. room. All thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The distinctive feature of his address was what he so well said relative to the loud-mouthed individual of color in the crowd. In the streetcars and other public places who are proving so harmful to all of our people of this community, Dr. Nickens lectured, this Thursday evening, for the Y. M. C. J. "Mothers' Day" was most fittingly observed at St John's church, Sunday evening. The participants were Mrs. Mabelle Biggs and Mr. George Dunjill, organists; Edith Wright, R. Jackson, Vanessa Washington, Elmer Cheeks and John H. Perry. A symposium entitled, "Mother", was rendered by Frances Sims, Inez Johnson and Mrs. Lulu B. Cox. Amy Rogers, Hazel Mountain and Bertha Blue directed the program. The Lee University special board the church, was elected a delegate (by the recent district conference held at St James church) to the annual conference to be held in Springfield. Saturday evening a member of the race was shot to death as a result of a row in the vicinity of the saloon at the corner of E. 33rd St. and Scovill Ave. Sunday another was shot in front of the Main Theater, Scovill Ave. and E. 26th St. Monday night two were shot in E. 30th St. between Scovill and Central Aves, and another was shot the following morning (Tuesday) in the same vicinity. One of the shots was just before midnight near Bass & Turk's saloon. This is only a partial list for the first of the week, to say nothing of the rest of the week and previous weeks. Still our Ministers' Alliance refuses to demand from Mayor Davis, proper police protection for the 11th ward. Never were moral conditions at such an extremely low ebb as they are today in that and other sections of the city. If the Mayor would untie Chief Rowe's hands and let him do his duty as he sees it, there would be an immediate improvement in its actions of the police officer only when it is parently most needed—in the Central Ave. district. "REAPED THE WHIRLWIND"! Belgium's Sad Fate—Aro-American Tho' Barred from the Army and Navy are "Loyal to a Man." Editor Gazette, Dear Friend:—Two hundred and ninety-seven years ago the race began to suffer injustice, punishment and torture. We quote the great Irish liberator, Daniel O'Connell, in his London speech, 1833: "Oh the slave who toils from the rising sun to sundown, who is bound to suffer injustice, who frusts he may never reap, who comes home at night-fall weary, faint and sick of heart to find in his hut creatures that are to run in the same career with himself. Will you not tell him of a period when his toll shall be at an end? Will you not give him hope for his children?" Prof. George Knox says: "We of the white race are infamable conceit which scarcely can be overcome—all men of a different color are by right and ought to be our inferiors." Our first duty is to God and then our country. We are ready and willing, but this being "a white man's war" we are discriminated against until history may repeat itself. In '61 and '62 they did not want any black men, but in '63 they took them from 15 years old up to 66, and had it not been for the true and loyal Negro troops the North would have been defeated. If you do believe this, ask any Considerate soldier to explain why he hadn't taken our Negroes, we-ns would have licked you'uns' Our young men are no better than other race's sons, but just as good, and need training for the defense of the flag that offers him protection. Some one is responsible for his being kept out of the army and navy, and the only reason we can give for it is, if you make more Negro soldiers—the more you make the less you can disfranchise because every soldier must have his vote, at home, in the field or abroad. Let no one think that we are worrying over this discrimination. The creature is never greater than the creator. God if we allow our soldiers to owe ours, we will reap oats. Belgium sowed the wind in the Congo district and reaped the whirlwind at home. Today she is the modern Sodom and Gomorrah—not on the man. Now a word to the race: God has always been on our side but we have failed to get over with him. Our ministers have grown gray-headed teaching, preaching and praying that the race would obey God's word. As long as we are disobedient we will suffer. I was 69 years old, May 15, and I have never known it to fail. In conclusion we are standing by the flag and the president, even though the race has suffered for 297 years. WE ARE LOYAL TO A MAN! Andrew McSpadden, Veteran of the War of the Rebellion. Pensacola, Fla.—The Postmaster in this city has been ordered to maintain enough windows to accommodate the public, but not to make any division along the color.

URGES REMOVAL OF COLOR LINE. Memorial of Boston Branch of National Equal Rights League Presented to President Wilson by Representative Tinkham of Special to The Gazette. Washington, D.

L., urging the immediate removal of all restrictions upon citizens of color who are seeking training as officers in the reserve corps, and disclaiming any charges of disloyalty to the United States in its present conflict because of the denial of rights to a majority of the population in part requested that, in the presence of common danger and common obligation due to "a war devastating Europe because of racial clanishness and racial hatred, that the United States and the people thereof give up race proscription and persecution at home, and that the door of the workshop, and school, the college, the civil service, the navy, the military school, and the naval school, now and forever, be open alike to every citizen of the republic with the right to travel, to vote and to have court protection be free 'without barrier or denial.' CITIZENS DEMAND RIGHT To Work in U. S. Navy Yard and Three Months. For the best shelf. *If it is Withheld* Charleston, S. C. — The announcement from officials in charge of the clothing factory at the Charleston navy yard that only white women would be employed as operators, in spite of the insistent demand of our women that they be employed, was published in the local daily papers, and has met with instant protest from our people of the community. Demands had been made on the recorder of the labor board at the navy yard for application blanks for employment, and at the postoffice and the office of the director of labor in the custom house, but were refused. The reasons given were that there could be no mingling of the races, and there was no provision for segregation. Our people claim the same right to the clothing factory as other people. They also say that the new building of the clothing factory, to be opened June 1, will need 600 operators, and they can fill the building with our women, thus avoiding any "mingling of the races." The officials of the factory say that if there is any dissension in regard to employment the Navy Department will move it and Charleston will lose the benefit of a finely equipped, efficient plant that means a great deal to this community. Our people prepared for a determined fight for their rights as citizens and will carry it to the highest court in the land if necessary to effect a proper settlement. A CATHOLIC PRIEST'S Pertinent Comment on Lieut. Col Charles Young's Famous Letter to "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Denton, Tex., May 10, 1917. Editor Gazette, Dear Friend:—The last issue of the "Crisis," the best Negro magazine, copies from your paper, The Gazette, ponderous words pronounced by Col. Charles Young. The following words are full of pathetic meaning: "In the present crisis, may we arrive where we will be physically free from peonage, mentally free from ignorance, politically free from disfranchisement, and socially free from insult." These words are few but full of meaning. It is said that such an appeal is necessary. Is it not a disgrace on the American nation, which claims to be the mother of freedom—that our black brother must yet plead for freedom from peonage, freedom from ignorance, freedom in politics, freedom in society? May this condition soon be remedied. The press has been too timid on this important issue. The American society should acquire itself strongly towards the Negro race which underwent such sacrifice in the formation of this country. Please, may The Gazette do its part. Yours for, fair play to the Negro brother. OUR LABOR IN STRATEGIC POSITION. Chicago, Ill—That the Afro-American holds the balance of labor power during the war because of the lack of immigration was the declaration of Mrs. Charles F. Taylor of the Greater Hampton Patriotic movement, before the Woman's Federation of Church clubs in the Stratford hotel Monday. She said the nation not only faces a scarcity of food, but also the onus of feeding the other warring nations THE FORAKER ESTATE $750,000. Cincinnati, O. — Mrs. Julia B. Foraker, widow of former Senator Joseph B. Foraker, is named executrix and sole beneficiary by the will filed Tuesday for probate.

A number of destroyers sailed from American ports in the latter part of April and all arrived at their destinations without accident or delay of any kind. "They were prepared for operations when they arrived and went into service immediately. "The United States vessels are under command of Rear Admiral William S. Sims, who went to England and France several weeks ago to arrange for co-operation between the naval forces of the United States and those of the other nations at war with Germany. Plans formulated after reports from Rear Admiral Sims made as a result of his conferences with the British and French admiralties are now being effectuated. "It has been the purpose of the United States navy to give the largest measure of assistance to the other countries at war with Germany that is consistent with full and complete protection of the own coasts and territorial waters. The navy department has received no reports that engagements have occurred between United States vessels now in European waters and the vessels of the enemy." The American navy's actual entry into the war zone has already been productive of a brush between a destroyer and a German underwater boat, according to an announcement by the British admiralty, but the result of it has not been made public. GARDNER RESIGNS TO BECOME U.S. SOLDIER Washington, D. C. — Representative Gardner of Massachusetts, pioneer preparedness advocate, has offered his services to the United States as a soldier.

FOUR KILLED IN BLAST ON GOVERNMENT PIER Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. — An explosion on the government pier in the St. Marys river, which killed four men and injured three, was accidental, military and civil officials said. The great Soo locks, vital to the transportation system of the country, escaped damage. Investigation revealed the explosion resulted from the ignition of freeworks and dynamite caps being hauled from the basement of a store, to a dumping place. Presence of the explosives in rubbish was not known. HARRY THAW GOES TO HOSPITAL FOR INSANE Philadelphia, Pa. — Harry K. Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, will be removed from St. Mary's hospital, where he has been recuperating from self-inflicted razor wounds, to the Pennsylvania hospital for the insane at West Philadelphia, where he probably will spend the rest of his life. Declare Martial Law on Delicacies. Wellesley, Mass. — Wellesley girls have just declared martial law on ice cream and other delicacies. Their war plans follow: No candy, ice cream or other eatables between meals; economy in dress; high heeled shoes taboo; eight hours work, eight hours sleep, eight hours recreation daily; take up Red Cross work, first aid, navy unit league or special welfare work in part of recreation hours; rise at 6:30, retreat at 10:30, weekly drill and daily flag ceremonies. U. S. Lenda Russla $100,000,000 Washington, D. C. — The government on May 16 made its first loan to Russia, $100,000,000, and at the same time loaned Belgium $54,000,000, bringing the amount thus far advanced to the allies up to $670,000,000. In making the loan to Russia the government stipulated and Russia agreed that the entire sum would be spent in this country and that all purchases would be made under the supervision of a representative of the treasury department or a commissioner to be named by this government. DAINTY TEA GOWN DAINTY TEA GOWN Negligee of Slip-Over-the-Head Variety Is Comfortable. Smart Garment Can Be Made With Filet Lace and Crepe de Chine or Georgette as Preferred. The sketch shows a very becoming and smart little negligee or tea gown, employing a filet lace and crepe de chine or georgette, according to pre- ference. Bands of black velvet give the necessary trimming touch. The garment is of the slip-over-the-head variety. This is an excellent plan in designing boudour garments, as they are frequently worn over an unco- sisted figure, and a garment that slips 1920s Negligee of Chiffon and Lace. over the head and fits easily is generally much more comfortable than one requiring hooks or buttons to keep it in place. The back of the negligee shown has the coat skirt of lace running straight around, the redingote type of opening appearing only in the front. The double velvet belt or girldie may be secured with a metal buckle, or the ribbon velvet may be tied in a long loop and end bow. Turquoise blue chiffon for the accordion plaited skirt, ecrut flet lace and black velvet are suggested as an attractive fabric and color combination for the negligee shows. The bride might add a garment of this type to her trousseau, employing color and fabric to suit her purse and individual taste and complexion. Undergarments and negligence apparel feature a great deal of ribbon and lace, and with outer apparel as feminine as it can possibly be—even sports garments being generally semidressy—it would seem that even the newest of new women are discovering that they may be feminine in appearance, regardless of advanced thinking, and that the brief day of the masculine type of female has about ended. TUNIC BLOUSE IN NEW FORM Made of Filmy Fabrics and Richly Embroidered, it Is Different From Those of Other Days. The French dressmakers have introduced a variation in the tunic or basque blouse which is merely a reproduction of an old Egyptian garment which is belted in at the waistline, made of transparent and colorful fabrics and lavishly heaped with embroidery in beads, paillettes and silk floss. The introduction of this garment does not strike one as particularly new, for we have worn the tunic in one form or another for two seasons; but when the new version of it is dropped over a narrow or a straight plaited skirt, and made in its most approved manner, it takes on a different aspect from the tunics of other days, says a fashion authority in the New York Times. It is cut somewhat in the manner of a Chinese kilono, and the material is so fliny that it falls against the skirt without ungraceful fullness. The buyers have brought out subtle shades of coloring for these tunicies, and the embroideries have introduced old methods of needlework, such as shadow scallops in gold and silver, CLEANING OF BROWN LEATHER Upholstery Which Has Become Grim and Shabby-Looking Can Be Renewed Very Satisfactorily. Sometimes a brown leather upholstery will become decidedly grimy and soiled and shabby-looking. With care this can be renewed quite satisfactorily. Take a quart of water and a fourth of a bar of white Castle cone, Roll these together until the soap is melted. Then add one ounce of turpentine and one ounce of almond oil. Shake until the liquid is quite thoroughly emulsified. Use this as a cleaning fluid on a soft cloth, rubbing quite hard. It is surprising how much grime and dirt will come off. The woodwork may be washed also, even if it is polished. Allow to dry for an hour. The surface will look cleaner and the scratches will be pretty well covered, but the surface will be dull in appearance. Have ready the beaten white of an egg. Take clean, soft cloth and moisten with a little of the egg white. Rub a space of about two feet square un- with symbolic designs of Egypt in terra cotta and turquoise blue. The woman who has a good skirt for afternoon or evening wear may find these Alexandrian tunics a joy and a blessing. Jenny brings out a number of these tunics that reach to and sometimes below the knees. They are of chiffon and tulle, and sometimes in the thin gauze tissue that has been revived from the looms of the thirteenth century. FOR THE TWELVE-YEAR-OLD Wool Edging Used as Trimming for Novel and Picturesque Party Dress for Young Girl. This season, the designers have created some very charming dresses for children. One of the most novel and picturesque was a party dress for a girl of twelve. The dress was of apricot pink crepe de chine, made with simple little bodice, open in the front with a wide box plait, which concealed the buttons beneath. The small flat collar was of the same material, and the cuffs were the same width as the collar. The skirt was a plain gathered one, with a wide hem. Around the bottom of the dress and down the front on either side of the box plait white wool was threaded through the material in plain running stitch. The most novel feature was the wool edging used as a trimming. Around the edge of the collar and cuffs, also at the top of the hem, an edging was crocheted with white wool and then with a row of china blue. The box plait was ornamented by three large tight bails of china blue wool, suspended by wool chains two inches long. At the belt line, a cordlike affair was used. It was composed of eight or ten strands of the blue yarn, couched at intervals of three-quarters of an inch. The color effect was charming and the dress was really beautiful. TRIMMING FOR TUB FROCKS Stitching Will Be Popular, Sometimes Done With Heavy Thread to Simulate Narrow Braid. In making up tub frocks for the coming summer, stitching is a popular trimming touch, and sometimes it is done with a heavy linen thread so that a narrow braid is simulated. Another popular decorative touch is the use of narrow bands or bias pieces of contrasting fabric stitched on. For example, frocks of sheer cotton volle are trimmed in bands of heavy linen, usually in contrasting color. Lingerie frocks will be popular this summer. Early appearance in the best shops promises a vogue not based solely on torrish weather. Usually lingerie frocks are not pushed at all by the shops until May, or until the near arrival of hot weather, but this year they came in along with the major style showing. Louise Henry and Bernard Bourne. There are hundreds upon hundreds of varieties in the latest fashions dispatched from Dame Fashion's shop but there are few to compare with this. It is perfectly made of Paisley satin with a sash of plain king blue satin that is knotted in front. The collar and cuffs are edged with the same material. The skirt has not the clean-cut effect but a baggy Turkish-trouser effect. The sporty hat tilted at just the correct angle is covered with embroidered silk. til dry. Repeat this process until the whole surface has been treated. Take an empty bottle and pour equal parts of linenseed oil, turpentine and vinegar into this. Shake until a creamy mixture is formed. Go over the woodwork with this, rubbing until dry and no hint of stickiness remains. Do not put oil upon colored leather, as it will darken and be likely to spot it. Flat in Front and Back. Skirts flat in back and front, with soft side draperies to give the oval line, are many, and some very likable one-piece models in serge or silk have underblouses or side bodies and sleeves of chiffon or other contrasting material and side draperies of the same chiffon or other material let in down the sides of the skirt from waist to knee, the front and back of the skirt proper meeting and buttoning from below that point. Collars of Organdie. Delightfully crisp, clean-looking collars of organide, and sometimes cuffs as well, give the final touch of smartness to navy serge dresses. Silk Jersey Used Silk and wool jersey cloth have loomed up stronger in the dress line-up for spring and summer than last year. Wool jersey cloth is being used extensively for both sports and motor coats, and some of the new military capes are also being made of it, with usually a light-weight lining of gay-colored silk. The little sports suit shown in the sketch is made of plain white and chartreuse silk jersey cloth. The scarf THE FASHION WEEKLY Sports Suit of Silk Jersey. collar is the especial feature of the suit. This collar is formed of two folds of the colored fabric, and it is attached to the neck of the coat at about its lengthwise center. When desired it may be held together by the button and buttonhole appearing near the end. However, for summer wear the collar will usually be worn open. The coat is finished with generous pockets, overlaid with buttoned-on laps of gold jersey. The skirt is simple and straight, gathered in at the waistline, and also equipped with pockets. This little sports suit might be attractively developed with a coat of plain color and skirt of gay striped or flowered fabric, the skirt material in any case serving to trim the coat. While a great deal has been written and said about the present season vogue for high colors, and the vogue certainly exists, there is a growing tendency at the present time to go to the other extreme. The little suit shown in the sketch requires three yards of fabric for skirt and coat trimming. Three and a quarter yards will be needed for the coat. The model would serve admirably for a suit of the novelty silks, popular this summer, or it might be developed in flannel, serge or linen.

This is a decorative and useful little article either for suspending from the post of the looking-glass or for hang- B 6 t A X Cotton Holder and Pincushion. ing upon a nail in the wall. For the upper part a piece of wood measuring six and a half inches in length, three inches in width and half an inch in thickness will be required. This wood is sewn in between two pieces of silk. BRIGHT DRESS LININGS USED Widespread Use of Plaid and Flow ered Silk Fabric Gray and Beige Materials There is no limit set on the usage of figured silk for linings and facings, and the capes offer excellent advantages for this fashion. This trick has been tried often before, but it never had such instant success as this season. In connection with the fact that double-faced materials are in high fashion for the first time in a decade or so, this introduction of printed fabrics for linings fits in with the general scheme of making clothes. The top of the belt will be lined with a gayly colored Chinese design and rolled over like a cuff. Immense handkerchief collars and wide cuffs of figured crepe or silk will be placed on coats and gowns in a solid color. With an influx of gray and belge materials, the general effect would have been saddening, if the designers had not thought of the double-faced fabrics and the wide spread use of gayly colored materials sufficient material being left at the lower edge to cover the pincushion. Diagram A explains this, the cross indicates the piece of wood, and the pieces of silk are seen hanging below it. Diagram B shows the shape of the cushion that will be required; it measures six inches by five inches. The design upon the cushion is worked in three shades of green and the whole thing is edged throughout with a silk cord, which is arranged in two little loops on either side, at the top, and the ends that hang downwards are knotted and frayed out into tassels, and at the bottom there are three little loops of cord. The reels of cotton are fastened in place with brass-headed nails, upon which they will revolve freely when the cotton is being drawn off, and when necessary, new reels can be easily fastened in position. USE OF TUCKS IS EFFECTIVE They Can Be Used to Advantage in Making a Serviceable as Well as Dalnty Nightdress. Anyone who desires to make a serviceable as well as a dainty nightgown should not forget the effectiveness of tinyucks. One model on which this suggestion was carried out was made with a square neck, and was open down the front for a short space; but this opening is really not necessary if one provides a sufficiently large neck. The upper front of the gown was decorated with groups of three tinyucks arranged to form squares. In each square a daisy was embroidered in white. Anyone who desires a touch of color should substitute colored flowers for the white ones. A casing of the material should be provided around the neck, if one does not intend to open the gown down the front, and a colored ribbon run through it. You can easily see how such a gown would withstand frequent visits to the laundry. DISTINCTIVE SUMMER FROCK Copyright Underwood & Underwood One of the summer's best prospects is this frock made of heavy natural color pongee silk. The deep panels of green soutache braid make the gown wonderfully attractive. The collar of green chamois cloth is another added feature that gives the gown distinction. It is made on free and easy lines and could be used for sports wear if wanted. The hat is of rich brown chip with a goura fancy. STRAWS MUST BE VEILED NOW Covering of Hats With Organdie or Other Thin Fabrics is the idea of the Hour. When a woman is making up her mind about her millinery she should fix her attention on the fact that the velling of straw by a thin fabric is the idea of the hour. Straw is used because straw is plentiful, but the milliners have taken up the idea that this rough material should not be used in its nude state. It must be veiled. The newest hats are covered with white organdie, just as many of the very smart frocks in foulard and crepe are covered with organdie tunics and serge and gaberdine skirts have organdie peplums above them. A hat is of blue straw, of the stovepipe shape with a visor brim, gets its color from an ornate and splendid design worked out on the organdie in coral beads. Smart Hats for Tailored Suits Smart Hats for Tarnished Suits. Just the type of hat that one immediately associates with the smartly tailored woman is a small shape with the crown of tightly draped peige crepe de chine and the tiny brim of navy crepe de chine; high about the crown and faring out quite considerably on either side is the crown cuff of navy lisse faced with beige, and this supports a pair of navy wings on either side which are laid on the inner portion of the cuff and extend far out in a sharp point, further giving evidence of extreme side width. Wool Jersey for Juvenile Clothes Wool jersey has been introduced into juvenile clothes with marked success. It promises to supersede muslin, silk and linen. Rompers, country clothes and beach suits are made by the hundreds in white, horizon blue, deep pink and gray touched with blue and silver. This is an excellent idea, for the material does not wrinkle, is easily cleaned or washed and does not shrink. It also goes longer without ironing than any other kind of fabric lutened for constant service.
