Even then they say these critics, it will be no easy job to down the Teuton Empire, because, by that time, Germany,背 back to the Rhine, will be fighting on her own ground, and will have all the advantages of interior- strategic lines, to say nothing of the desperate courage with which the Germans will defend their own soil. It is the general opinion among officers of the General Staff that the war will last three years, and perhaps five years. Other believe that it will take them to crush the foe so that he is absolutely prostrate. At any rate, the U. S. is up against the real thing, and many believe it will take every abled-bodied man and every dollar in this country to win. The thing that is bothering the Government more than any other problem of the war is how to get the great American armies to Europe.

PICKENS MAKES LENGTHY TOUR Capable Young Educator Foregoes Vacation and Responds With Alacrity to Call of His People to Servo In Important Movements—To Address National Baptist Convention. By N. BARNETT DODSON. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Foremost among the large number of well educated young men of experience and healthy moral stamina to whom the race must look for adequate representation, advice and guidance at times like the present is Dean William Pickens of Morgan college, Baltimore. Professor Pickens stands upon an enmence in preparation and scholarship which overlooks several years of diligent effort on the part of a well qualified man who has done good man service for racial advancement. From this height he has caught the vision of racial struggle, need and in- DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS. main justice for which we are striving. He knows our handrail and is striving in schoolroom and upon the public platform to assist in the unanticipated conditions through which the race is grazing its way. Practically setting aside leisure from education working and home comforts, he is spending the time assisting in the many movements extant for the opening of larger opportunities for the masses of our people. Professor Pickens is now making his third speaking tour for this summer. Stirred by the East St. Louis riots, Dean Pickens accompanied and acted as spokesman for the Baltimore delegation which carried its protest against lynching to Washington. He appeared before Vice President Marshall, Speaker Champ Clark, senators and representatives of the house for the purpose of getting federal action against lynching mobs and also in support of Congressman Dyer's joint resolution (118) calling for national investigation of lynching and punishment of lynchers. From July 15 through the 22d he made a tour in company with M. L. McCoy, principal of the Virginia College and Industrial Institute at Petersburg, Va. through the Sheenandoah valley, speaking in the interest of better and larger educational facilities for our people. The speakers were given much attention, and their message was received with enthusiasm. Professor McCoy is making the influence of the institute felt throughout the state. Returning to Baltimore and the north, the dean spent a few days with his family at Atlantic City, N. J., and then proceeded to Cleveland, where on Thursday, Aug. 2, he delivered a most informing address on "The Relation of the American Negro to the Present World Crisis." This address embodies the true meaning of the kind of democracy for which America is fighting. The speaker shows in this address breadth of statesmanship and learning adequate to grapple with and master to a satisfactory degree the many intricate problems which confront America now. Sunday, Aug. 5, Professor Pickens addressed a great throng at Toledo and proceeded to Chigango and other points in Illinois, where he spoke to enthrallstic crowds of white and colored people. The boys at Fort Des Moines got a message to the dean asking him to visit their military training camp before leaving for the southwest. Leaving Illinois, he went to Blindfield, W. Va., where he extended his intellectual powers to great heights in a masterly address before the Chautauqua on Friday, Aug. 17. The dean will conclude his speaking tour at Muskegon, Oka; before the National Baptist convention, which meets on Thursday, Sept. 6. It has been the custom of the National Baptist convention for many years to have Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was a Baptist, deliver the chief address at each annual meeting. Dean Pickens is not a Baptist, and in this particular the convention shows that it is broader than mere denominational affiliation. It is seeking light on all the great religious and civic movements; hence it invites the sage of Morgan college to express to the American people our achievements, hopes and aspirations. FOLLOW UP SILENT PROTEST PARADE Petition to President and Congress Asks That Lynching Be Made a National Crime 'Punishable by Law—Nation Cannot Fight Battles of Civilization' In Blood Smoothed Garmone. Washington:—Negroes of the nation carried to the White House Wednesday, Aug. 1, their protest against the atrocities attacks made upon their race at East St. Louis and other industrial centers recently. They appealed to President Wilson through Secretary Tumulty to speak "some public word" that would give hope and courage to the colored people of the United States. Mr. Tumulty listened to the reading of a petition and promised the delegation, which was headed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association. For the Advancement of Creativity, he said that the matter would not be neglected. The remarks of Mr. Johnson, spokesman for the delegation, in addressing Secretary Tumulty were as follows: "We, the committee of the Negro silent protest parade, in which 15,000 colored men, women and children took part on Saturday, July 28, in New York, come to present to you, and through you to the president and congress, a petition for redress of certain deliverances. We come representing not only the Negro silent protest parade but the colored people of Greater New HON. JAMES W. JOHNSON. York and the sentiments and aspirations and sorrows, too, of the entire Negro population of the United States. "We come representing 12,600,000 citizens whose devotion and loyalty to the nation have never been questioned – 12,600,000 citizens" who, when the present storm broke over our land, took their unqualified stand with the original American stocks that landed at Pitmouth rock and Jamestown. "We feel that in coming to you we are well within our rights—the right given by birth, the right given by labor and the right given by loyalty. We feel, further, that it is especially fitting that we come at this time, when the heart of the nation is so, deeply touched by the cause of democracy and of humanity. "We come asking that the president use his great powers to have granted to us some redress for the grievances set forth in our petition, and we come, further, praying that the president may find it in his heart to speak some public word that will give us help and courage to our people, thus using his great personal and moral influence in our behalf. And to these ends I have the honor to read and respectfully present the following petition: To the President and Congress of the United States: We, the committee of the Negro silent protest Pride, have sent the National Council of the People of New York and the sentiment of the people of Negro descent throughout this land, come to you to present a petition for redress of grievances. And men and women have been lynched by mobs without trial. Less than half a dozen persons out of the tens of thousands involved have received, any punishment whissoever, for their involvement in the has been punished for murder. In addition to this mobs have harried and murdered colored citizens time and time again with impunity, culminating when nearly a hundred innocent, hardworking citizens were done to death in broad daylight for seeking to earn an honest living. We believe that this spirit of lawlessness is doing unkind injury to our country, and we submit that the record proves that the states are either unwilling or unable to put down lynching and mob violence. Mob violence we made a number of times, punishable by the laws of the United States and that this be done by federal enactment, or, if necessary, by constitutional amendment. We believe that found in recent legislation abundant president for action of this sort, and whether this be true or not, no nation that seeks to fight the battles of civilization has been found in recent legislation. We ask therefore immediate action by the congress and the president if the United States: Ev. W. W. JOHNSON, Chairman, J. W. J. N. WILSON, Treasurer. Rev. Charles D. Martin, Rev. E. Waniel, Rev.

Royall Purchases and Equips Building For Larger Scope of Work—Motto of the League is "Pulling Together." New York.—At last the colored citizens of New York city have realized a long felt want, for they have now provided themselves with a modern and up to date clubhouse and will in the future make a specialty of providing suitable lodging rooms and board to representative men visiting and passing through the city. The handsome and modernly equipped building recently purchased at 151 West One hundred and Thirty-fifth street is now ready and will be used for the con- PRESIDENT JOHN M. ROYALL. venience of the members of the United Civic league and the accommodation of the public. The league's building is without a doubt the only place in this big city offering the equipment and facilities it is provided with, and without doubt also shows the rapid strides of the United CIVLE league, which was founded by John M. Royall and a few other loyal citizens in 1013 for elective representation throughout the state of New York and the nation and for political justice and an equal administration of the laws. The large and lengthy basement can be suitably arranged for athletic events or for business purposes, while the main floor consists of reception and reading rooms and a large auditorium for entertainments and social functions. On the second floor there are four extra large light rooms, for office use with steam, light and janitor services included. Adjoining these to the rear are the large bathroom and the manager's room. The third floor has three finely furnished, large, light, airy rooms for gentlemen lodgers by day, week or month, and off these are a large dining room, pantry and kitchen, which are occupied by Caterer Watkins for serving business men's lunches and catering to special parties. The United CIVLE league's motto is "Pulling Together," and the officers are John M. Royall, president; W. H. Wills, first vice president; J. E. Earls, second vice president; Joseph L. Pritchard, treasurer; Henry D. Dolphin, secretary, and W. G. Isaacs, financial secretary. Board of governors are Benjamin F. Thomas, chairman; B. H. Lewis, vice chairman; J. C. Thomas, Sr.; John A. Ross, Charles H. Payne, W. H. Rhodes, V. T. Thomas, J. W. Rose, E. A. Johnson, John Philzine, Philip A. Payton, George W. Royall, Philip M. Thorne, Sykes S. Beaman and Anthony McCarthy. John E. Robinson is the building secretary, and manager. Having on its official staff this corps of business men, many who are merchants and representing the largest there is in the colored people's commercial life, the league will continue to add to its long list of achievements throughout the city and state. IMPORTANT COMING EVENT. National Fraternal Congress to Meet at St. Louis Aug. 28. The National Congress of Negro Fraternalities, which was organized at Cincinnati eighteen months ago, will hold its annual meeting in St. Louis for three days, beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 28. The officers of all grand lodges, mutual benefit societies and clubs are urged to have their organization represented by one or more delegates at the coming meeting. Joseph L. Jones of Cincinnati is president of the congress. Owing to the unusually unsettled condition of affairs both as they affect the nation and the race it is of the greatest importance that the race make an extra effort to get together for a calm and frank discussion of the many problems which confront the race at this time. T. J. Smith, box 215, Versailles, Ky., is secretary of the congress. COL. CHARLES YOUNG SPEAKS He Had Nothing to Do With The Failure of the Ninth Ohio Regiment—Would-Be Officers Were Only "Cats' Paws", Etc., Etc. Wilberforce, O., Aug. 12, 1917, Harry C. Smith, Editor of The Gazette, My Dear Friend: I can not thank you too much for your kindness in coming to my rescue in your last issue. You are right in saying I had nothing to do with the new assignment of Ohio casualty (dismounted). I did not ask for command of the regiment; I simply obeyed my instructions from Washington and from the Volunteer General of Ohio. By training, I am only a soldier, going where sent, and doing what I am ordered. So in this case. The only painful thing in this whole matter to me has been the petty ambition of one man who waited for me to "bell the ear" and then made their howl. When in the world did I ever play politics of seek my personal preferences, when he wilture of my race or country deserved upon my action? To me the motto of the Black Prince: I serve, should be the motto of every black officer, and I have always made mine, handling myself to serve the people of the country. Now is to the retirement of me by the War Department from active service: As before stated, so I repeat, I am only one man and if according to the rules of the game I am to be "occupied," I shall submit sportsman-Elk to the President's orders. We never felt any ill effects of the Gordon's findings as to disability, and I should not be disappointed. My health still studying until such time as I may be needed by the Government. I invite God she may not need me and so that the war will be soon won. Now let me lay you and all good people of our race not to assist or protest in tax favor. The Administration must not be embarrassed in its extremity. We all have the country too well for you. Again thank you for all your kindness to me and wishing you and The Gazette success. Cordially yours, CHAS. YOUNG. Col. U. S. Army, (retired). Special to The Gazette Columbus, O.—Dr. Leroy Bundy's case is being considered by Gov. Jas M. Fox. Extradition papers have been asked by the East St. Louis, Ill. authorities. He is a son of Rev. Charles Bundy, of Gleverland, and was arrested there, Saturday night. Dr. Bundy is a St. Louis, Mo. dentist, his wife conducting an auto livery there. He has been song, ever since the East St. Louis massacre, on a charge of furnishing arms and ammunition to our people of East St. Louis after the first riot, among the whites killed during the war. That is the reason that the tectives. That is the reason for the determined effort to get. Dr. Bundy and make him the "goat", if possible. He and his wife are confident of clearing Him, if he could get a fair trial, something not to be expected under the circumstances. Before the end of next week Ohio will be stripped of troops except the four Afro-American companies, (600 men), which will be held in the state temporarily. N dispatch from Washington, D. C., to daily newspapers, last week, announced that the war department had decided that Afro-American units of the national guard will not be sent south. They will be utilized in the north to guard bridges, arsenals, etc., replacing other troops now on patrol. The order will be the 15th N. Y. and the 5th Illinois regiments, battalions in Ohio and the District of Columbia and companies in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Tennessee. Our soldiers are to be congratulated, if this decision stands, MAYOR DAYS' UNWORTHY POLITICS The following resolution was unanimously adopted at the Hugh F. Taylor executive committee (25) meeting in the Illuminating building, last week Wednesday evening. Whereas, the present mayor and his advisers express a wish that "politics he laid aside during the war," whereby of course they would remain in office regardless of unworthy administration. But, as our government is elective and not monarchial, the only logical force of such a suggestion ends in the suspension or abolition of the fundamental government of our country, because of war. On the contrary it is Resolved 1. That under a high sounding denial of "politics," the use of such unworthy-politics should not pass unrebelled. 2. That efficient, sound and sincere government in our city even far more than in time of peace, is a matter of first necessity in this time of war. 3. That duty calls upon every citizen of Cleveland in the coming election to give extraordinary scrutiny and diligence to matters of local government. Mr. Taylor is the Republican candidate for mayor and a life-long friend of our people. LIBERIA AT WAR Washington, D. C.-Liberia, the republic on the west coast of Africa, has declared war on Germany.

First, they will escape the miserable insults and misreatment they invariably receive in that section, the alleged "Brownsville Afray" being a pertinent illustration: Second, the South, in summer and fall, is hardly a fit place to condition soldiers for service in the north of France, next winter and spring. Washington dispatches, last week, carried the name of Captain Thomas Darby, of the Missouri National Guard, as assistant adjutant of the new Ohio division, developments that this should have been Captain-Thomas Dooley, whose engagement to Miss Helen Cox has been reported. Captain Dooley, will rank as major on the divisional staff at the suggestion of Adjutant General George H. Wood, who sent recommendations to Washington for the entire staff.

Additional proof of the statement, in my letter to The Gazette, last week, to the effect that Col. Young was not to blame for the disruption of the "Ninth Ohio, and that our people should not allow the newspapers (white) to make him the "goat". Mrs. Mary D. Talbert of Buffalo, president of the N.

This, undoubtedly, because Maurice Maschke, a Jew, is Mayor Da- vis’ political “boss.” They should have all the representation in the city’s ser- vice they are entitled to and should not be discriminated against because of their being Jews, but they should hold no more than they are entitled to.

Davis in his Cleveland Daily, Press interview of several weeks ago, seems to have been “tacked” on the latter to stay and is being used fre- quently by that paper. Its. editorial, published last week, given herewith, is in at Teast one respect, a political classic ‘The last time Harry Davis thought deeply he afterwards ‘suffered from a severe headache. | Let that be a complete and final an- ‘Swer to the inhumane carpers who in- sist the mayor should be a leader, a thinker, ete Besides, thinking by Harry is entirely unnecessaty. He has had framed for ‘him-a general policy that makes rubbish ‘of thought processes, convictions, keep- ihg-step-with-progress and all the rest of the old-time appurtenances of leader- ship. Harry's new policy is: STAND SQUARELY ON. BOTH SIDES OF EVERY PUBLIC QUES- TION. , And Harry does. In January of this year Harry declar- ‘ed himself flatfootedly for the purchase ‘of the street car‘lines in the city by urg- Jing issuing for the purpose $35,000,000 in honds. In March of this year Harry declared himself opposed to municipal ‘ownership, insisting “control and regu- lation are better than municipal owner- ship.” In his campaign, Harry declared him- Self opposed to. municipal ownership. Today he wants the city to bay and operate a coal mine. Elected on a platform opposed to ma- nicipal ownership, Harry now wants |municipally owned subways. Harry wrote a letter to the German newspaper, The Wachter und Anz- eiger, one of the most openly anti- American journals in the United States, congratulating it on its policy. In a speech at apout the same time Harry declared hiniself a “truc-blue American citizen,” “Harty named Hermann Fellinger to a board, charged with protecting Cleve- land and secing to it that the city does its part to win the war. Hermann at once got busy with a pro-German mon- key wrench. Pro-Americans made it so hot for Hermann that he had to resign. Harry defended Hermann thraout it all. A few days later, however, Harry made a speech in which he said he hoped America would win the war Harry objected to organizing home guards dnd to the stationing of militia at bridges and elsewhere in Cleveland, At the same time he made a specch de- claring that Cleveland and America were close to his heart. Harty asked council to submit to a vote a proposal to issue bonds for $3,500,000 fo build a subway in West Superior Ave. Council declared that hefore issning bonds there should be an investigation of the whole subway ques- tion to decide whether or not a subway is needed, exactly how much it would cost and where it should be, located. Now Harry is doing it council's way. Harry made a speech at a church de- claring he hated vice and that he had driven out the gamblers. At that Very moment the three largest downtown gambling houses — Penney’s, Raleigh’s and Ward's—were running openly and in full blast. Nor to this day have they been oe a a Hi x “Starlight” Boyd says “Harry is a good to And “Starlight,” a saloon- Keeper, is right. Harry is ood—good at the gentle game of talking without thinking. It is Mayor Davis who has allowed his political manager, Maurice Maschke, to endeavor to foist on our people of this community “Starlight Boyd and Tom Fleming as local leaders. Our golden opportunity to get rid of the entire “outfit” will come on election day: ia November. Please remember this. ‘WHY WE REFUSE TO SERVE Some of our readers have asked why the editor of The Gazette refused to serve on that Welfare Fedration com- mittee, noted in our last issite. It is heeause for more than a year such com- mittees have done nothing but “dis- euss the influx of southern Negroes” — the housing and other problems inci- dent thereto—and this latest committee, according to its initial announcement, is formed for no other purpose. We have neither the time, patience nor the in- elination to indulge in such “fad” gath- erings or committee organizations When a real effort t6 DO something to house the hundreds of our people liv- ing in old railroad cars, shanties, aban- doned buildings, shacks, under — tents, etc, is mad, we will lend our assistance and be glad to do so. For a year or more, as we have said, it has been talk, talk, TALK! It has been “high time”, for many ‘months, that something be DONE, and still “the discussion of the influx of southern Negroes” goes on We will have none of it, as far as we fire personally éoneerned, 4 “The Old Reliable” Gazette knew it was right when it was giving its read- ers the truth, last week, about the Ninth Ohio Regiment and Col. Charles Young —the only paper of any kind in the country to do so—but we are greatly pleased, just the same, to have our friend, the Colonel's endorsement ’ ‘of the same. His letter, published else- where in this paper, is charscteristic and its contents must he accepted by us all because he is our soldier-leader and speaks of matters in which he is pos- sibly greatest interested, “They can’t Keep a good man down,” and they are not going to keep Col. Young down just so surely as this “world’s war” con- tinues another year and i is going to continue at least four years more, just as the experts and the English people expect KNIGHTS SUPREME LODGE MEETS IN ST.

SHEPARD GETS RESULTS. Letter of North Carolina Governor Evokes Strona News Editorial. ‘The Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News recently carried the following editorial on Governor Bickett’s letter to Dr, James B. Shepard in answer to the latter's plea against the lynching of col- ‘red people, with especial reference to the Memphis and East St. Louis hor- rors. Governor Bickett's letter to Dr. James BE. Shepard, president of the National Training school at Durham, expresses well the North Carolina attitude to- ward the Negro man. President Shepard asked seventeen governors to issue appeals to the people of their states protesting against the lynebing of a helpless race. The Negro edueator desires to see a country in which his own people “may live and hope.” The intimation that living and hoping become increasingly dificult in ‘the light of “lynchings north and south” gives the governor his opportunity to invite the Negro back home. Various assignments of causes bebind the negro exodus to the north have been given, but Dr, Shepard has struck upon one that bears the appearance of epigrammatic force—“the right to live and hope.” Better wages naturally have contributed to a condition that has greatly disturbed the south Spr- _THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 06..
