THOMAS Leading Resident the "Unjustifiab Demand R Prote St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, Jan. 3, 19—The people of these islands are today shocked beyond expression and a terrible fear is now in the hearts of the more peaceful residents that a massacre might be the end of the most revolting crime ever committed against the people here who, up to the time of the sulting of these islands to the United States, live in many years under the kindly milkership of King Christian of Denmark. On Christmas night the U. S. marines (most of them from the southern states of the 'U.-S.) stationed here went on a wild rampage, bent on beating up and caring not if they killed the citizens of St. Thomas. The native police armed with clubs only, could not protect the natives or themselves against the marines, who were armed with automatics. The Bullett" eddied.

Sirr—Your attention is herein called to an outrage on our defenseless people hitherto unknown in this island and which was done by men in the U. S. Navy (sailors and marines) on Christmas night last—an OUTRAGE that cries aloud for redress and punishment. The ages of these men paraded our streets with automatic revolvers, bottles, knives, sticks, and stones, yelling like Indians, and when not doing so using language the most vulgar—their actions resembled those of savages—to speak the truth, the people whom we are hold as being despicable (Gamans) would not have done as much. Civilians were chased off the streets, some beaten, some scarched, while others were fired at when they refused to obey the requests of these maneuvers to stand still—the bulbs of broken high-tech stoves were broken in their furniture and jalousies therein destroyed or damaged and other intrusions too numerous to mention.

Are you not hold responsible to some department in Washington for the safeguarding of our lives and property? Is this the way "Organic Act" (pur Magna Charita) is being observed? Sir, you are the possessor of unlimited civil, military and judicial powers in these islands and therefore in our as well as in the estimation of our responsibility for maintenance of order in our island. Why were these men not ordered off the streets? Would the civic rights of the people on the mainland have been so disrespected? Is this democracy? This outrage is race hatred pure and simple and however it may be practiced and tolerated in certain sections of the mainland we are convinced that a continuation of such will surely produce regrettable results. Name another peaceful, law-abiding property owner, homes we are assaulted by a band of mairanders would sit still and permit it? You cannot, sir. You cannot. Be you not deceived, sir, this is not an evidence of our cowardice, but to the very contrary because we are conscious of the result that resistance may produce, and because we are more civilized than the men who perreted this uncalled for outrage. Hence, we pursue this nobler attitude in the matter. We believe that all available measures be adopted and assurances given that such an outrage will never be made real again. We are of the opinion if such be the case the results will be far above the conception of those who may perpereate such an outrage. This remark is not used as any threat against the peaceable men in the Navy, but in defense of our rights as men and, all that we hold dear and sacred.

PASSPORTS REFUSED! The State Department and DuBois Make Contradictory Statements—Latest Freedmen's Bank Echo. Washington, D. C.—Passports for Afro-American deserts to attend a Pan-African congress at Paris have been refused by the state department, which has announced that the French government did not consider the present a favorable time to hold such a conference. Prof. W. E. B. Dufouls, last week, cabled the N. A. of the French government of this. He said Clementine was premier of France, had given his consent to the holding of a Pan-African congress. The question is, which is telling the truth? DuBois has been so thoroughly obsessed with this Pan-African congress idea that he apparently has lost sight of the great need of getting; consideration of the Afro-American's vital influence. This was indicated in "The Old Reliable" Gazette several weeks ago, and commented on by the thoughtful of the race here. Freedmen's.Bank Money.

Cadore is, with the 369th regiment, formerly the old "151th N. Y." which was awarded the croix de guerre by the French commanding general for its operations as a combat unit in the offensive in the Champagne sector last September and October. The letter also mentions the American regiment, to reach Rhine. Describing the tightening qualities of these troops, Cadore says: "On occasions too numerous to count we were in the thick of the fighting and the noble work done by the Afro-American troops was wonderful. Every man in my company fought with the courage of a lion." This is the Way to Do It.

CELEBRATE DAY OF LINCOLN'S BIRTH CELEBRATE DAY OF LINCOLN'S BIRTH Great Emancipator Said "Get Ready and the Chance Will Come." Today U. S. Treasury Offers Chance of Emancipation From Debt Through Government Securities. EMANCIPATION THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL 'FROM THE BRONZE STATUETTE GROUP BY THOMAS BALL. "And upon this act I invoke, the considerate Judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God." Abraham Lincoln, whose clear understanding of right and wrong, whose great qualities of heart and mind and character finally succeeded in liberating an entire race, was born just 110 years ago, February 12, 1809, in a rough cabin in the undeveloped farmland of Kentucky. The commemoration of his birthday will this year, as in every other, he marked especially by the recollection of the Emancipation- Proclamation, which gave us our freedom. In Lincoln's own words, this commemoration from slavery meant for the Negro 'the right to eat the bread, without the leave of anybody else, which his own hand earns. This was 60 years ago. Today, by summons from the Federal Government, amounting almost to a proclamation, the right is urged upon us not only to eat the bread we earn, but steadily to set aside a part of it that eventually we may achieve our emancipation from economic dependence. to the cause of his fellow humans, fall his brothers in such a task? Had not all of us done our part in liberating the oppressed countries of Europe, by now France, Belgium and other entire nations would be chained in slavery to the Germans. Then, alone, the United States would have to wrestle with the tyrant. Fifty years after Lincoln deroted his life to the liberation of a race, that race had the opportunity to assist in liberating the world. Can anyone imagine Lincoln stopping halfway in such a task? To complete it, 1919 must be a year of real thrift for everyone. By spending wisely—getting the most of what we actually need for the amount we can afford to spend—something will be left over to save. By saving intelligently, giving attention to the important things and eliminating unnecessary—something will be accumulated for investment. By investing safely—in Shirt Stamps, War Saving Stamps or Liberty Bonds—we shall help complete the task, win personal prosperity, and assist in training na- Many invested in government securities. War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds—is the key which will unlock for us financial liberty. Out of the fund they create we can get homes, comforts, education, advancement and recreation. As Lincoln said: "The hired labor of yesterday labors on his own account today and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow." Not more labor alone is necessary. To be ready to use an opportunity the products of one's labor must be accumulated. Again, as Lincoln said: "Get ready and the chance will come." There is another reason, a still better one than that of personal profits, why we should make every effort to save and invest in Saving Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Money in this way to the treasury—to give share in that for which Lincoln gave his life—will help to pay off the enormous gains of the war for which many Negroes have given their lives. They gave themselves gladly. They have made a wonderful, never-to-be-forgotten record of patriotism and bravery in the war. Unless we do our full part, which, after all, is extremely small compared to what they who shall never return have done, we shall have broken faith with them and tarnished the splendid shield of patriotism which they burnished so brightly. Can anyone imagine Lincoln, who devoted all his time, energy and talents to the cause of his fellow humans, fall his brothers in such a task? Had not all of us done our part in liberating the oppressed countries of Europe, by now France, Belgium and other entire nations would be chained in slavery to the Germans. Then, alone, the United States would have to wrestle with the tyrant. Fifty years after Lincoln devoted his life to the liberation of a race, that race had the opportunity to assist in liberating the world. Can anyone imagine Lincoln stopping half way in such a task? To complete it, 1819 must be a year of real thrift for everyone. By spending wisely—getting the most of what we actually need for the amount we can afford to spend—something will be left over to save. By saving intelligently, giving attention to the important things and eliminating unnecessary—something will be accumulated for investment. By investing safely—in Thrift Stamps, War Saving Stamps or Liberty Bonds—we shall help complete the task, win personal prosperity and assist in gaining national prosperity. The remembrance of Lincoln's Birthday should be a reminder to prove ourselves worthy of his great faith. * If Lincoln Could Speak * * Today He Would Say * * to You— Emancipate yourself from money worries by putting your savings into Thrift and War Savings Stamps. Have a personal share in your government by owning government stock—Thrift and War Savings Stamps. The money you pay for them is a lean from you to the government and pays you interest. Be active, good citizens—partners with your country in finishing up the war job and carrying out the peace program. Thrift and War Savings Stamps give this partnership.

The Illinois fighters served under General Vincenton, commander of the 59th Division, who, shortly after the signing of the armistice, sent the regiment (370th) the following communication: "Officers, non-commissioned officers and men: Your efforts have been rewarded. The armistice is signed. The troops of the Entente, to whom the armies of the American Republic have nobly come to join themselves, have vanquished the most powerful instrument of conquest that a nation could forget—the haughty German army acknowledges itself conquered. However, our conditions are, the enemy government has accepted them all. where the Germans tried to resist Danean's battalion took Logny and carried away by their ardor, could not be stopped short of Gue d'Hossin on November 11, after the armistice. We have hardly time to appreciate you, and already you depart. As Lieut. Col. Danean said November 28, in offering to me your regimental colors as proof of your love for France as an expression of your loyalty to the 56th Division and our army, you have given us of your best and you have given it out of the fullness of your hearts. "The blood of your comrades who fell on the soil of France, mixed with the blood of our soldiers, renders insoluble the bond of affection that unites us. We have, besides, the pride of having weaked together at a magnificent task, and the pride of bearing on the armies the ray of a common grandmother." "The 370th R. I. U. S. has contributed largely to the success of the 59th Division and has taken in bitter strife both cannon- and machine guns. Its units, fired by a noble ardor, got at times even beyond the objectives, given them by the higher command; they have always wished to be in the front line, for the place of honor is the leading rank. "They have shown, in the course of our advance, that they are worthy of being there."—N. Y. Age. By Sergeant Rufus Pinkney. We (1922 Inf.) are brigaded with the French, and our commander a French general addressed us recently with tears in his eyes. He said that the names of our regiment will go down in history, and Americans answered the call of France for aid, and fought along side of them in battle. He said "you went into the trenchless singing; you went over the top sineing; and you came back crowned with victory singing. I am proud to be your commander, you must always remember when you are home across the blooding hand that seized the Germans by the throat and made them cry for mercy. In taking the hill named after you now, but which was then shelled by hostile artillery and covered with machine gun nests, you carried out your orders like men. We honor you as the heroes of France and I know that all America will be proud of you when you arrive home." The French commander in summing up the material and prisoners captured by us said that we had taken 600 German prisoners, 700 cannon, and 360 machine guns. "I will prove to have been your general," were his parting words as he kissed the flag, and took final leave from us. Our chaplain, Rev. Arrington S. Helm, is the senior chaplain in the army, and the first to arrive in France. Additionally, the whole regiment being allied, 88 of them sewing the French war cross.

The impossibility at this time that the German army can recover from its defeat, the necessity which is imposed on the German army, is to again a normal life leads the United States to diminish its effectiveness in France. You are chosen to be among the first to return to America. In the name of your comrades of the 59th Division I say to you: Au revoir, in chavignol, Leury and the Bois-deBeaumont having reduced the effectiveness of the Division, the American government generously put your regiment at the disposition of the French army.

Not only was each of these regiments, the 369th, 370th, 371st and 372d, cited as a unit for the award of the Croix de Guerre, but 359 individual soldiers from the four regiments received the highly prized decoration.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1919. The N. A. A. C. P. should be forced by the loyal of its membership to use some of their money to take a test case to the U. S. Supreme Court that would determine the constitutionality of the south's "jim-crow" car "laws" as far as our interstate passengers are concerned. This is one of the most important things affecting our people of the country today. --- The U. S. constitution's answer to southern disfranchisement is MANDATORY. Representation in the congress must be cut down proportionately, if the southern states persist in continuing to carry out the provisions of their unconstitutional disfranchisement "laws." Republican congress after Republican congress, for the past fifty years, has ignored this mandatory provision of the fundamental law of the land. What will the next Republican congress, which will convene on March 4, do? We shall see. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has sent the following cablegram to Afro-Americans: "Clemenceau (premier of France, and president of officer of the Peace Conference) permits Pan-African Conference, Feb. 12, 13 and 14. Two of our delegates (from Haiti and Liberia) sit in Peace Conference." Not a word, of any conference (or delegates) in the interest of his own suffering (Afro-American) people, does the professor send "Twas ever thus! The Wilson administration "played its cards" nicely when it sent our friend, Emmett J. Scott, to New York City, some weeks ago, to make that "African Colonies" speech and get DuBois and others of our people "worked up" over the colonies' future government, etc. BENDING THE LID. The Echo de Paris is the paper of the French capital that most clearly and accurately voices the views and desires of Premier Clemenceau. That fact adds a deep significance to the recent publication in that journal of lengthy reports of senate debates reflecting a rising hostility to the peace efforts and ideas of President Wilson. Under the heading "American Opinion" the Echo gives prominence to articles written by their special correspondent in Washington. Until the appearance of these Washington dispatches Paris papers have had almost nothing to say concerning public opinion in America. Doubless those in authority have other means of keeping informed of the feeling prevalent in America, but, of course, the French public must depend on the press for their information. The Echo appears to have inaugurated an intensive campaign of education among its readers to teach them that Mr. Wilson is not the universal idol of Americans as he would have them believe. REFUSED PASSPORTS. Just as we predicted, several weeks ago, all Afro-American "delegates" to the World's Peace Conference have been refused passports by the government, just as was former President William Howard Taft when he desired to go to England, on invitation, a few weeks ago, to deliver an address on "A League of Nations." Passports are refused all women. This eliminates Miss. Ida Wells Barnett, Madam C. J. Whiker and Miss Hallie J. Brown, our women "delegates." The Wilson administration is taking no chances on the Afro-American's telling his story to the Peace Conference or anywhere else in France, these days. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois is "over there" and could be a power of help to our people in this matter if he would, but, unfortunately, it appears that he is far too greatly concerned the future control of "those German African colonies" to be of any material service to us at this time. We lost confidence in him, last year, when he was "airing" with the Wilson administration for a captaincy in the Intelligence Department of the War Department at Washington, D. C., and following that wrote those "doctrine of surrender" editorials for the Crisis. "SWAN SONG" FOR "LILY- WHITES." The victory of Louisiana Afro-American Republicans, led by the Hon. Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, over the "lily-white's" of that state is one that only our people of the south can fully appreciate. For many years they "lily-white's" of the south) have been a thorn in the Republican party's side and never before have they received the treatment they deserved, largely because it was a case of turning down "white" men for Afro-Americans. This, too, in the face of the fact that nearly all "lily-writes" were Democrats posing only as half Republicans and our men of that section of the country were well known to be Republicans, "to the core." Of all the Republican presidents in the last twenty-five years Theodore Roosevelt gave them the greatest encouragement even after he left the party and organized the defunct Progressive party with which he materially assisted to defeat the Republican party and elevate to the presidency, Thomas Woodrow Wilson. The editor of The Gazette is proud to have a hand in the defeat and elimination of the Louisiana "lily-white's" and hopes that it will mean the death of all such organizations in the south, their home. SAFER IN THE TRENCHES THAN IN THE SOUTH. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 13, '19—Private Jas. P., Campbell of the 368th Battalion, 92d Division, who was gassed at Champagne, August 18, '18, passed through here, this week, on his way to Chicago. Campbell arrived in New York city on Nov. 8. He was taken to Camp Pike, Dec. 27. He says that when he arrived at Little Rock, Ark., he was the only Afro-American in the party of wounded soldiers on their way to the base hospital. The whites were royally greeted by the Red Cross workers, who served food. At the hospital, he says, the only greeting he received was from a nurse who said, How do you feel now, little nigger?" Campbell is in Helena, where he went after being in the hospital, but met nothing but smiles the whites. He decided to leave home forever, and after boarding a street car, in that city, a man who noticed his service stripes remarked: "There is another overseas nigger. I guess he knows it all." "I felt safer in the trenches than in Arkansas," says Campbell, "and I never expect to return home." These are the things that "sting" and the anticipation of which doubtless moved President Wilson and Secretary Baker to send Dr. R. Moton abroad instead of sending him overseas to tell our boys there "how to conduct, themselves on their return home," particularly in the South President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker should send their southern colleagues in the President's cabinet south to tell the people of that section of the country how to treat decently and properly our veterans of the World War who return to that section.

There are fewer people in Cleveland today who put their money in unsafe places than there are a few weeks ago. Bankers report that most people who used to risk their cash and take chances on it being stolen now put it safely in the bank, where it is perfectly safe and draws interest in the bargain. "Do you mean to say that you will keep my money for me so that nobody can steal it and when I ask for it back again give me more than I put in?" asked one man of a bank afficial. He had read so much of the insecurity of keeping his cash in the house or hidden under a stone somewhere that he sought out a bank for guidance. The mysteries that were explained to him and he became aware of the idea of having your money earn money and of entrusting it to banks where it is safe. The experience is typical of the changed attitude of a great many people who before this never really understood about banks, how they keep your money safely, give you interest on it if you comply with their few simple rules that govern interest, and make it possible for the money you save to come back to you when you want it and bring more dollars along with it. "It sounds strange, said one Cleveland banker the other people do not understand and the specific benefits and advantages their money in the banks rather than in an old teaot, or under the mattress. The result of their learning about it is a great deal of peace of mind on their part and the practice of modern thrift methods that will make them more prosperous." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, FEBRUARY, 8 1919 NEW YORK DOINGS OF THE RACE Richard N. Wickfield of Jamestown, N. Y., former resident of Toledo, died recently. He was an old friend of the editor of The Gazette. J. Madison Vance, Esq., of New Orleans, La., died, Jan. 15. '19. He was one of our best known southern leaders for many years. Prof. R. L. Logan, Prof. J. Silas Harris and C. W. Stokes, have been appointed bill clerks in the 50th General Assembly of Missouri. It takes more courage for a black man just to live than it does for a white man to die—Prof. Wm. Pickens, dean of Morgan College, Baltimore, Md. Fifteen Afro-American workers are to be sent at one to France, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., to serve among our troops who are doing engineer and stevedore work. Illinois' state treasurer, at Springfield, has appointed Harold White of that city warrant clerk in his office. He has also appointed two other members of the race as guards. We firmly believe that the matter of "iim crow" car laws in the south should be put before the U. S. Supreme Court by the N. A. A. C. P. for a final decision. -Wichita Kansan. The 369th Inf., the old "15th N. Y." and the 370th, the old "8th Illinois" regiments will arrive in New York or at Newport News, Va., between Feb. 10 and 14, the War Department at Washington, D.C., announces. Dec. 29, '18, France paid high tribute to its colonial (black) troops, and the Afro-Americans present will not soon forget the affecting scenes enacted at the Palais du Trocarde, Paris. More than 5,000 enthusiastic French, men and women, attended. Our people furnished more than 2,000 troops on the side of the Allies. There were nearly 400,000 Afro-Americans. France had 800,000 Colored (colonial) troops and Great Britain had 1,161,800 colored (colonial) troops. The Jeanes Fund board appropriated $40,657,25 for rural education among southern Afro-Americans and secured from public funds for the same purpose a total of $44,591,183, making a total of $85,249,08. Appropriations for next year's work total nearly $60,000. This settling on the economic situation containing the solution of all our problems is simply another evidence of the truth that the human heart is always seeking a panacea. No, our problem is not so simple as that. Our economic condition enters into it, but there are many other elements involved. And one of the most important of these elements is what we commonly call race prejudice— The attorney general of Tennessee is drawing an Anti-Lynching bill, based on Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Anti-Lynching law, to have introduced in the Assembly of that state. Ohio was the first state in the Union to have an effective anti-lynching law and one based on the principle of holding the county responsible in damages to the heirs of the person nuco is severely injured by a mob. Illinois is the only state, to date, to "follow suit." May Tennessee do so, also. Never in one single year has so many newspapers and magazines, radical in utterance, and ably edited, been issued by Negro editors. Ten years ago, Editor William "Monroe Trotter, of the Boston Guardian, and Editor Harry C. Smith of the Cleveland Police, stood alone, but they have company."—Wm. H. Ferris in The Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, Pa. Prof. Ferris might have said that twenty years ago, "The Old Reliable" Gazette stood alone, and told the truth, too. Additional Locals Rev, T. T. Smith, formerly of Tifton, Ga., spoke at Avery A. M. E, mission, 2613 Central Ave., last week. Mrs. L. M. Knight of Boston, gave an elocutionary recital in the mission, Wednesday evening, for the benefit of the new chair fund. Rev. J. J. Price is the pastor. How Starlight Boy has escaped payment on $1,000 forfeited bonds is shown by the records in the civil branch of Muny Court. The bonds were for Loretta Augustine and Beatrice Fields. Their bonds, each for $500, were forfeited in Police Court. Suit on them was later lied in Muny Civil Court. Boyd didn't appear when the Augustine case was called and a demand for the case was given by Judge Baer. But nothing was collected. Balliffs reported they could find no property on which to levy. Almost a year later Boyd asked that the judgment be set aside, stating that the woman had been arrested and had drawn a suspended sentence in Police Court. The judgment was set aside and Boyd was ordered to pay court costs, amounting to $1,000. The officials said Boyd forged $500 against Boyd was also given in the Fields case. A year later Boyd sought to have the judgment set aside stating the woman had been re-arrested and her case nolled in Police Court. Judge McMahon refused. But Judge McMahon later granted a motion for reduction of sentence and ordered Boyd to pay the court costs, $449. This has not been represented in these hearings by Tom Fleming, city councilman. J. W. De Cumbe was attorney for the city when the judgments were given. A. B. Strimple had charge of the case after March, 1919.

The funeral services of John H. Kellogg, at Mt. Zion church, last week Tuesday, was largely attended. He was one of our oldest citizens and a pioneer member and officer of the church as well as choir leader for years. His strong bass voice will be greatly missed by both church and choir. That there would be no lynching at Marion, we were satisfied. That county's officials, as do all others in the state, know what it cost Champagne and Clark counties for violating our Ohio Anti-Lynching law and no more are disposed to permit lynch-murder in their territory than were the several others (in the state) who have had mob demonstration to deal with in late years.

They confessed $200 worth of morphine, cocaine and hypodermic needles. Two of the women and two of the men were held in unlawfully having morphine in their possession. The third man was held on suspicion. The third woman and fourth man were released. The "Joint" was started and maintained by two Texas "Negroes;" it is said. Tuesday afternoon, the editor of The Gazette went into the W. B. Davis Co.'s store in Euclid Ave., and was delighted to see two of our young lady employees of that leading establishment conspicuously placed. On inquiry we were told that Robert Parker, the Davis Co. engineer for a number of years, had succeeded in having employed there elevator, bundle and stock girls of color. We congratulate the Davis Co. Mr. Parker and the young ladies. It is really refreshing as well as encouraging. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University for a neatly printed copy of his address at the fifty-sixth opening of the institution, Sept. 17, '18. It reviews the university's splendid World War activities in a very interesting manner. Our birthday anniversary, Jan. 28, 1919, was made especially and exceptionally pleasing and satisfactory because many of our long-time friends in Cleveland and throughout the country sent us numerous cards, many very pretty and some expensive; most encouraging letters, numerous gifts and some valuable presents. To all we send heartfelt thanks and say it is very encouraging indeed. Dr. Sterling N. Brown, director of the theological department of Howard University, Washington, D. C., spoke at Mt. Zion church, Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of the local pastor. He was a pastor of the church, years ago. Corp. Louia V. Jones, the well known violinist, wrote his mother, Mrs. Louia V. Jones, E, 101st St., on Jan. 18, 19. He is with the Headquarters First Army Post Band, and was at Bar-Sur-Aube, France: "Since the censorship has been raised I can tell you where I have been. On Sept. 14 were arrived at St. Nazaire, finding quite a town. From there we moved to La Fertdown, near the Switzerland border. Here I came across Roscoe Simms and Carl Allen, from home. We moved up toward the Argonne forest, the Argonne region, where we heard combat bombardment which lighted up the skies almost as bright as day. The armistice was signed when we were in the Argonne forest, and believe me we were a happy bunch. From Pasois we moved to Siuilly, and from there to this town." One of the most interesting hour and a half's visits the editor of The Gazette has had in years was afforded when Rev. R. W. Patton, a native Virginian and a special representative of the Board of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal church, in charge of its educational work among our people in the south, called, last Saturday afternoon. Dr. Patton was just from a dinner at the Union club, Euclid Ave., arranged for him in the interest of his life work by Mr. Wm. M. Mathias, Samuel P. two of the oldest and first citizens of wealth and position in this community, good friends of our people. We found Dr. Patton, in many respects, far in advance of many northern white friends active in various fields helpful to our people. Police took Robert Jones, 2203 E. 30th St., a Pullman car porter, to the City hospital, Tuesday, from the Union station. Soon after his arrival at the hospital he died. Death is believed to be due to natural causes. "Penrod," a delightful stage version of the famous Booth Tarking histories of boy life, was given an enthusiastic reception. Monday evening, at the Opera House. One of the real hits of the piece is the tongue-tied man whose "reports" to the head of the detective are tellable even to the great detective himself until translated by Herman. Verman is played by Charles Whitfield, a small gentleman of color, who next to Penrod himself, excellently portrayed by Andrew Lawlor, received the major portion of the applause for his life-like characterization. Herman is also the other Afro-American lad, is a fine piece of work also." These two boys are real artists in their line-acting. St. James A. M. L. church is growing rapidly. The Sunday morning congregations fill the church. Last Sunday, Major W. T. Anderson preached for the pastor, who was ill. The Sunday School was largely attended and full of interest. The S. S. board recognized the school and put it upon an approved basis. It now has all the departments from "cradle roll" to adult and each class is organized. Our greatest need now is room in which to carry out these advanced ideas. Mr. Jesse Edwards succeeds Mr. Stafford Williams as president of the Adams-Ramey Men's Guild. The men are planning some important events for the future. D. Boggess, Thos. Johnson, Bert Hutchinson, R. S. Koiner, Stafford Williams, Wm. THE TEMPI East. 55th St., N. MAURICE B Friday Feb. 7.

What He Went For Made Clear at Last—The South Fears Our Ret- turning Overseas Soldiers Will Not Meekly Submit to its Out- rageous Insults, Humiliation, Segregation, Etc. Editor N. Y. Globe: I wish to enter a protest against the action of Dr. Moton, who is now in France at the instance of the administration to advise the Negro troops over there to behave themselves like gentlemen and thus leave a good impression upon the people of France. Dr. Moton will find that this part of his mission to France is unnecessary. The Negroes in the army in France have given their commander no cause for complaint on this score. The French people and French newspapers have spoken of their conduct. It is a gratuitous insult to the acter of these men to send Dr. Moton or any other Negro to France to teach them good morals. Dr. Moton is quoted as saying that the Africans are incapable of self-government. If he means the Africans in Africa, along the gold coast, the west coast, Basutoland, Barotse land, etc., I can tell him that he is grossly mischaracterized, and that he is labelling the character, and that he has for years demonstrated their ability for self-government along native lines. Dr. Moton is hardly the man to pass judgment on the capacity of the African blacks for self-government. He does not know any more about Africa and the Africans, nor as much, as the American delegates who are relying on him to advise them on this subject. JOHN E. BRUCE. New York, Jan. 6. Dr. Moton Returns to U.-S. In order to be present at the famous annual Tuskegee Farmers' Conference, which is a big event in the southland, Dr. R. M. Moton, who has just returned from France on a special mission, found it necessary to decline the invitation extended by American diplomats to remain in Paris and participate further in the preliminary and formal deliberations of the Peace Conference. It is understood, how- ever, that he has been officially asked to return to France in connection with the Peace Conference as early as possible. During his stay in the French capital Dr. Moton's advice with reference to the disposition of Germany's African colonies and other matters affecting the darker races was eagerly sought by noted Americans and a consultation of several occasions with E. H. M. House, President Wilson's close personal friend and member of the American Peace Commission. It was because of the excellent impression made by the head of Tuskegee Institute on the various diplomats that the request was made for him to remain and serve as an accredited representative of the U. S. In his talks to the colored soldiers Dr. Moton assured them of a warm [Name] welcome upon their return to the United States and told them that colored and white people would enthusiastically receive them in all sections. The men were advised to come back home as heroes should whether they be white or black—in a manly, yet modest and unassuming manner. He stressed the importance of the colored soldier properly deporting himself, declaring that his conduct would have much to do with the establishment of friendlier relations between the races, at least south of the Mason and Dixon line. Dr. Motron went to France at the special request of President Wilson and Secretary Baker. Dr. Thomas J. McCormick, a sea of Education; Lester A. Waltman, a education editor of The Age; Clyde M. Miller of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and Nathan Hunt were members of the Moton party (in France)—Lester A. Walton, in New York Age, Jan. 25. 19 PROTEST AGAINST WRONG.

New Orleans, La.—The old line Republicans, familiarly known as the "Black and Tans," won out before the Republican National Committee in Chicago, recently, and secured the seating of their man, Emile Kuntz (white) as national committeeman from Louisiana, over the "lily-white" whose candidate was F. C. Labit. The Hon. Walter L. Cohen, well known colored Republican leader, presented the side of the old liners, which resulted in the unanimous seating of Kuntz. Clarence S. Hebert, chairman of the "lily-white" state committee, presented the argument for them. This result had been awaited by Louisiana Republicans with keenest interest, because, under signed agreement, it is to end the factional battles in this state. It was agreed, on suggestion of the "lily-white," that whoever won before the national committee should be recognized in Louisiana in the future. Under this agreement the "lily-white" will cease to exist, and it is "good riddance," etc. too. In his address before the committee, Mr. Cohen charged that a large per cent of the "lily-white" had registered as Democrats and registered how small the white Republican vote in Louisiana was. He submitted data proving his statements. One prominent member of the committee suggested a compromise, which Mr. Cohen refused. Last June, C. H. Stratton, representing Chairman Hays of the national committee, visited this state and attempted to reconcile the differences between the two factions. The old liners submitted two propositions: one for the captioning of a primary election to the nominating committee and the respective congressional committees. The other was for the officers of the state committee and the congressional district committees to be divided between the respective factions. Neither of these propositions were acceptable to the "lily-white," who submitted a proposition that the respective state committees of both factions select a member of the national committee to succeed Major Arman Romain and the seating of the member would carry with it the recognition of the state central committee and the respective congressional committees of the faction with which the primary election would be identified. Both sides pledged themselves to abide by the decision of the national committee and also pledged that they will not participate in any contested delegation to the next Republican national convention. This agreement was signed by C. S. Hebert, Frank C. Lach, Chas, F. Bogni A. C. Carpenter, Victor Loisel, for the Hebert Republican state central Are Safe! "It" is a common saying.

They will not affiliate with the old line Republicans, which embraces both whites and blacks, on account of the latter. The Editor Gets In It. At the request of his long time friend, the Hon. Walter L. Cohen, just prior to the recent meeting of the Republican National Committee in Chicago, the editor of The Gazette wrote National Committeeman (for Ohio) Rud. K. Hynicka of Cincinnati fully and frankly relative to the "lilf-ly-ish-black-and-den" high-rise Louisiana, urging the governor to all in his power to eliminate the former, this time. The following two letters tell the result and give loyal Ohio Afro-American Republicans new cause for admiration for that sterling friend of the race, Rud. K. Hynicka: Mr. Cohen's Letter. New Orleans, La., Jan. 17, '19. Hon. Harry C. Smith. "We have met the enemy and he is ours!" I certainly appreciate your efforts in our behalf as Mr. Hynicka was certainly a friend of ours, and being a member of the sub-committee made him more important and helpful to us. Here please find in closed Mr. Hynicka's letter which you requested to be returned. Thanking you for your aid and assistance, and assuring you that I shall reciprocate at the proper time, I am, Yours very truly, WALTER L. COHEN, Sec., Repub. State Central Committee of Louisiana. Mr. Hynicka's Letter, Cincinnati, O., Dec. 30, '18. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Edition. My Dear Sir: I have yours of the 26th inst. relative to the Louisiana situation. While I am not closely familiar with all the facts in the matter, I am inclined to believe that you are right when you suggest "a complete cleaning up." I have no hesitancy in saying that I am uncompromisingly against any plan of elimination of any loyal Republicans, regardless of creed, sect or color, in any state—north or south, east or west. What we want, and are going to have is a united party, if such a thing is at all in the cloth. I happen to know that Mr. Hays, our chairman, has been making some investigations in the Louisiana situation and is trying to bring about a solution, of the problems confronting us there that will mean even handed justice to everybody. I remember you when in the Ohio legislature, years ago, and recall distinctly your attitude toward, and friendly, cordial relations with, our Cincinnati friends. Yours very truly. Republican National Committeeman for Obion OUR NEW HOME PORO COLLEGE PENDLETON AVE. ST. PERDINAND AVE. Apparently Trying to "Ride a Horse Both Ways at The Same Time"—Pertinent Statements by Cardinal O'Connell and by Speaker Champ Clark. Boston, Mass.—Cardinal O'Connell wrote to the convention of the Jewish Ministers' Associations in New York: "It is indeed only natural that all peoples who have been suffering from tyrancy and persecution, should look to the peace conference as a beacon of hope for the support of justice and the progress of the world. Speaker of the National House of Representatives, wrote to this same Jewish convention: "I think the persecution of the Jews is the most idiotic and malicious per- formance known in the history of the human race. The conference at Versailles ought to see to it that they get a fair deal in the world. Personally, I am exceedingly fond of the Jews." Now we ask in all earnestness where there should be no trifling, in all fairness in controversy, where there should be no controversy, in all concern where there should be no indifference, what does it mean to us down trodden Colored people that a noted Roman Catholic Prelate in our own country and the Speaker of the most numerous branch of our national legislature declare in writing for publication that we peace conformity with Jesseus. Jesseus should be guaranteed relief from injustice. How can any Colored American, unlearned or learned, look his kin, or look God in the face and say that the cause for justice and democ- racy for Colored persons has no legitimate place at Versailles? As for Moorfield Storey, Esq., honored head of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, he went to two meetings of the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League and positively endorsed the movement of the League's World Democracy Congress to send race delegates to the seat of the world peace conference. He declared that—"Whether these Colored delegates are admitted to the peace conference or whether they have to stand outside the presence of people be felt. At the second meeting Mr. Storey declared that these delegates might be refused passports. But "the attempt to send them shall be made and for the Colored race to fail to make the attempt, to send them would be COWARDICE."
