In an editorial, our contemporary, The Fraternal Clarion, in its last issue, criticised that majority of the Negro population that is intolerant of race ostracisms. In this thousand word opinion occur these expressions: "Whenever we desire to segregate ourselves for any reason, we can bring to bear the most eloquent and logical arguments in support of our actions on a plea of race pride and race consciousness. But when the proposition to segregate us comes from outside the race, we condemn it as 'jim-crowism'." We are glad the Clarion came so claron-like with these statements; first, because it shows how calloused are its sensibilities; secondly; because it presents possible opportunity for enlightenment. Every word of the quoted sentences are true. Aggregation or segregation, which ever you choose to name it, it is respectively tolerable or intolerable to self- respectively manly men just to the extent that it is voluntary or by command. Two men leave a building; one goes because he wants to go; the other leaves because he is ordered out. The Clarion sees no difference in the two instances, because both men go out. We lie down on the grass from a desire to recline; the Clarion is knocked down, but thinks it has no more cause for affront than we, because we are both equally down. Such a spirit as this quotation reveals is the spirit of innate slavery. It is the spirit that will swallow shame and grin for a drink to wash it down. It is a spirit that invites and encourages the degredation of our race. It inspires the Vardamans, Tillmans and Cole Bleases to invent fresh debasements and it discourages and sickens those who would see us free and respected. Are we harsh? Jesus was harsh when he scourged the money lenders from the Temple. There are offenses that compel harshness. Here is unspeakable servility spread before the eyes of the youth of our race as an instruction; and nothing that is necessary to discredit it can be too severe. In this editorial, the sole defect of our magnificent school system that the late Edward Long, as superintendent of schools, said he deeply deplored—separation of the races—is exulted over. It lauds associations of the name of Jesus Christ with the curse of the American color-line. It cries loudly for a "colored hospital" and "colored parks." It insists on making the colored man a cheerful civic parasite. "It extols prescription The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1886 Amherst College Student Admitted to Fort Meyer Officers' Training Camp Being Subjected to Gross Color Line by Southerners. Washington, D. C.—May 19.—The war department today officially designated Des Moines, Iowa, as the city to have the officers' training camp for colored officers, and provided for colored men to be trained there for officers in the army to be raised for the present war with Germany. Colored men who pass the examination for admission to the camp will receive $100 a month for three months and their expenses. The camp will open June 15, 1917. They will, however, be compelled to pay their transportation to Des Moines, which will be refunded to them later by the Government. HowardUniversity grounds had been offered to the Government for a colored officers training camp, but for good and sufficient reasons the War Department preferred a site in some far western city. There is a difference of opinion here in Washington as to providing a separate camp for colored officers which this one will be, some contending that in the present crisis it is a mistake for the Government to segregate any class of its citizens who offer their services for the war. Young Dent, an Amherst college student who is here at Fort Meyer, in the training camp for officers, and who is the only colored man in an officers' training camp, is being subjected to discriminations that are, it is said, as hard, if not harder, than Cadets Flipper and Minnie experienced at West Point. The opinion is shared here by many that as soon as this separate camp for colored officers is estab lished young Dent will be sent to it. of self. It is intolerable. We are opposed to segregation of any kind based on color. It is bad in the mildest form. It is undemocratic and unAmerican in principle. St. Louis has not fully recovered from its evil effects of a little more than a year ago. Law is one thing and sentiment is another. If we do not profit by past experience, we should have our sensibilities quickened. Segregatlon takes on its most dangerous form when encrouched in law. The Negro is in a most pitable condition when he asks for it and does not know it. There is at present, a "colored ward," in the City Hospital. This is a condition which we did not ask for. If it must be, why not appoint Negro doctors and nurses to look after its patients—Argus DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1917 The following letter to the Chief of Staff Departments of the Army gives a brief out line of the provisions made for training camps for colored citizens. 1. You are advised that training camps for colored citizens will be established at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, under Section 54, National Defense Act, and the regulations prescribed for present training camps, except as modified herein and hereafter.

This is the hour when America and the Negro in particular will be tried and tested in a fierce furnace of hate as never before. He is passing and will pass thru plots, insurrections, mob-violence, riots and things of the most galling and nerve racking kind, to make him lose himself, but true Negroes into whose veins course the proud and historic blood of Negro loyalty with the deep-dyed-in-the-wool friendship especially needed in an hour of peril and which can only spring from honest hearts and pure and unselfish minds, will sincerely remain calm and firm under this strain yet stern and standing adamant-like, as a beaten anvil to the heavy blows of duty and responsibility, will yet trust God to adjust all things. If some of our white friends would put themselves in the place of the colored man and realize that there is no essential difference between the colored man and themselves, all lynching and burning would be made a crime in a federal law, just as the needs of the country quickly forced power to be vested in our President to conscript which carries with it, the power and authority to protect our lives and punish crimes wherever and whenever the exigency arises But even failure to do this, tho a good reason and excuse, should not for one moment cause us to hesitate or doubt. Let not one scintilla of a sign of disloyalty and treachery be even hinted at or impugned against the Negro, but rather let the Negro be the Protector and Defender of the law, liberty, equality and democracy even in their gravest perils; rather than to destroy when our hesitation might be construed as encouragement to the enemy. Let all the sedition and mob action be raised among the white and not one single black arm raise the black flag of anarchy. Let massacres, riots, bomb-throwing and the prevention of honest labor from being employed be peculiar to the white American. It may be ours to be thus tested, offered up that we might teach the arrogancy and unworthy autocracy, however shown that in seemingly in significant things, can be brought out the "wonders and mysteries of God." This titanic struggle calls for valiant hearted men, men who will not dare to swallow a good thing because of their innate selfishness, men who believe in somebody else besides themselves. Sacrifices must need be made, lives of our loved ones will be lost, murdered, yes, some brutally, but Negroes whose all depends upon our faith, works and achievements coupled with good sense, justice and mercy, budge not one inch; place your all upon our country's altar. Who knows that God has permitted these burnings, mob actions against honest working men to deeply and more keenly impress a lesson of trial, inconvenience and tribulation upon the Negroes' soul of his world wide duty of getting under the world wide burden of relieving the Belgians, aiding England and with bleeding and equality loving (continued on page 4) State Historian & Natural History So Denver Star FIVE CENTS A COPY.

Aristocracy is aristocracy whether displayed by race, society, labor unions, churches, governments or what not, and if America means real democracy to be world wide, much work must be done here. In these crucial times when America has entered war the length and outcome of which nobody knows, several thousand people assemble around an American citizen in mob formation in struggling and Christian America, gathering around their victim, make merry while his body is saturated with oil and to give the occasion an ennobling appearance of a lotty celebration, the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty, or dedication of a National University, a woman, God's noblest specimen, is called upon to apply the torch. Almost as pleasing as it was when the Belgians witnessed their children thrown in burning buildings by the Germans. Horrors horrified! This American citizen chained to a log, saturated in oil furnished the despicable sight, as the raging flames engulfed him, licking upon his human form and reduced it to ashes. With one ear the Negro listens to the bugle call, with the other ear he hears the footsteps of the mob, and the groans and cries of his people; with his eyes he sees Old Glory, the dearest and only flag and swears to it his allegiance, yet his thinking mind and pierced soul feel the gaping wounds of the recent St. Louis riots freshly torn assunder. With all of this we must not lose our heads; yet he wise as serpents.

Notable Record of Professor C. L. W. Smith. POPULAR WITH THE MASSES Former Principal of Graded School at Smithfield, N. C. Has Accomplished Much Good For the Colored People in Johnstone County—Lengthened Term and Raised Standard of Teaching. By GEORGE F. KING. Smithfield, N. C.—Never before in the history of Negro education in North Carolina has there been such a keen and substantial interest in educational conditions on the part of the better element of the race as is being evidenced at the present time. This interest is especially noticeable in the rural districts. Johnstone county, of which this place is the county seat, several years ago did not afford the colored people such facilities as they now have. The school term has also been lengthened. During the year of 1900 Professor C. L. W. Smith, a native of this town, graduated from Shaw university, and after traveling for several years he accepted a position with his father, who is the wealthiest and most progressive Afro-American in Johnstone county. Young Smith was then persuaded to do some journalistic work and later accepted a position as bookkeeper in the navy yard at Pensacola, Fla. He was afterward transferred to the Norfolk (Va.) navy yard. In June, 1900, he resigned his government position to return to his home town to become principal of the graded school. Because of his success as principal for three years he was appointed supervisor of the colored schools of Johnstone county. With his characteristic manner of bringing things to pass he secured special appropriations for education, raised a higher standard and procured efficient teachers, who received better pay. Professor Smith made the same requirements for colored teachers as were for teachers of the white schools and has reduced to a minimum teachers without professional qualifications. In many places in the county the schoolhouses were inadequate, and where there were two school buildings worth $400 he consolidated the two, wherever practicable, and erected buildings worth $1,500. When Professor Smith became supervisor there was no two-teacher rural school in his county for the race. Now there are six two-teacher and two three-teacher schools and there have been built three new schools. Under his supervision the graded schools at Smithfield, Selma and Clayton have had a splendid growth along varied lines. For the past three years he has held county commencements, which have been inspiring events to the extent that the largest assemblies of Afro- By GEORGE P. KING. mers?

A. Americans in the annals of the County enthusiastically support Professor Smith and his teachers and make these commencement features a source of inspiration to the race in this county. About 1,500 children from various schools participate in the parades. The exhibits are highly creditable. These events have largely increased the enrollment and attendance of the children in the county. Professor Smith saw the necessity of having an institution in his county for the training of teachers and has succeeded admirably well in making the Smithfield Training school a factor for the development of the county teachers. This institution has a boarding department for students and annually conducts a summer school. His efforts have caused a wholesome cooperation on the part of the people, the teachers and the county superintendent of education. He has created the kind of enthusiasm that is helping the Negro in the south to overcome obstacles. This is due to the fact that young men of his type are absolutely essential in work of uplift of the masses of our people. As an example of his efficiency and the confidence the educational officials have in him Professor Smith has charge of the reports and the employment of teachers in his county. All applications from teachers are referred to him, and the selection of the local school committees, composed of Afro-Americans, constitutes another phase of his work. Taft Expresses Faith in Our Loyalty. Former President William Howard Taft in a recent address at Augusta, Ga., denounced as ridiculous the report that German agents have made any headway toward inciting the colored people to be disloyal to the flag. Mr. Taft was speaking on the issues of the war. The colored race is loyal to this government, the former president declared with an emphasis that could not be misunderstood. High Compliment Paid to Our Sailors. Discussing the fighting qualities of the colored man as a sailor, a high naval authority on May 17 said: "One of the most remarkable phases of the development of the American mercantile marine is the adaptability of the American Negro as a sailor.

Virginia Farmers Realize Big increase in Crops. USE OF IMPROVED METHODS Report of John B. Piero Shews Resu- ces Obtained Through the Co-opera- tion of Farm Demonstration Agents Under the States Relation Service Great Interest Taken in Corn Global B WILLIAM ANTHONY ABRY. Some 5,000 farmers of Virginia, under the leadership of John B. Pierce, who is a Tuskegee-Hampton product, were influenced in the single calendar year of 1916 to improve their methods of work and secure crop yields far beyond the expectations of the most hopeful advocates of the farm demonstration idea. Eighteen local farm demonstration agents working in twenty-two counties of Virginia under the States Relations Service South—the fruition itself of the epoch making work of Seaman A. Knapp—have brought to the Negro farmers not only new ideas and better methods of tilling the soil and caring for farm products, but also a new vision of farm life, a clearer insight into farming as a business rather than as a mere occupation and a deeper sense of responsibility for the all around education of their boys and girls. Let facts tell the story of organisation's gift to Virginia, for whatever helps the Negro farmer to increase his earning power also helps the white people to make genuine progress. During 1916, so Mr. Pierce reports to Bradford Knapp, chief of the States Relations Service, South, 449 Negro corn demonstrators in Virginia, cultivating 2,150 acres under improved methods, secured an average yield of thirty-three bushels per acre. This was an increased yield of 9.9 bushels on demonstration plots over plots cultivated by ordinary methods. In addition, 1,001 co-operators reported a yield of twenty-four bushels per acre on 1,982 acres. Granting that a similar result could be obtained by all those who raise corn if only education could be carried on broadly, Virginia in a single year would add $10,000,000 to the value of her output of corn. Who dares to be skeptical or cynical of the Negroes' interest in better methods of farming in the light of these facts? Corresponding results have been secured in the small grains demonstrations. The average yield of oats per acre on demonstration plots was 18.9 bushels, representing an increased yield of 5.7 bushels and of wheat 16.1 bushels, representing an increased yield of 5.5 bushels. Today over 1,000 Negro farmers are using better methods of growing small grains on account of the government's interest in them. Does all this pay in dollars and cents, in increased interest in farming, in better homes? To ask the question is to answer it—certainly! Hay, forage, cover crops! These words commonly mean little. To the Negro farmer of Virginia they now spell success on the land. The local demonstration agents have worked night and day to make farmers understand the importance of making the land produce (without wearing it out) more food for man and beast and this story of awakening life on the farm. "Community development along all good lines!" This is the object of the 134 Negro farmers' clubs which were organized in 1916 throughout Virginia through the co-operation of John B. Pierce and sixteen local demonstration agents working under the States Relations Service and the extension division of the Virginia Polytechnic institute at Blackburg. The total membership of the club was 1,838 and represented a progressive, farreighted group of farmers in the Old Dominion. These clubs made a good beginning in co-operation by buying 2,224 tons of lime. Five of the local agents also kept a bulletin board, listing goods for sale and goods wanted. What do the local demonstration agents do besides helping the farmers till their land and grow better crops? Here is a partial list, based on Mr. Pierce's 1916 report of the farm and farmstead improvements which the farmers of Virginia have made with the advice and assistance of the agents: Buildings erected, 180; farm buildings painted or whitewashed, 552; sanitary conditions (farm and home) improved, 833; homes screened against files, 837; farmers furnished with plans and induced to adopt a systematic rotation, 158; total acreage put under rotation, 1,695; drainage system established, 89; home water systems installed or improved, 55; home grounds improved, 394; home gardens planted or improved, 1,198; farmers induced to save surplus farm products for winter use, 1,578. Can there be any question that the work of the local agent is limited merely to helping the farmer grow more crops so that he can secure more money to raise more crops? We think not. That increased earning power is an important and basal factor must be evident to the careful observer of rural conditions. That better living is a worthy goal for the hardworking farmer and his family is recognized by those who are engaged in carrying to the Negro farmers of Virginia a gospel of hope which is based upon intelligent work and Christian good will. FIFTY YEARS OF EFFORT AT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Time Honered Southern School Ends Term With Big Results. Atlanta, Ga.—On Wednesday; May 30, Atlanta university, in this city, graduated seventeen young women from the normal course and nine men from the college course with a degree of bachelor of arts. Fifty-three students completed the high school course. The commencement speaker was the Rev. Horace Bumstead of Brookline, Mass., ex-president of Atlanta university. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the chartering of this institution, and Dr. Bumstead gave a historical address. President Edward T. Ware preached the baccalaureate sermon on Sunday, May 27. The following day the twenty-second annual conference for the study of Negro problems was held. The subject of economic co-operation among the colored people of Georgia was discussed. Among the speakers were the Rev. Washington Gladden, D. D., of Columbus, O.; Monroe N. Work of Tuskegee institute and Miss Rosa Lowe, general secretary of the Atlanta Anti-tuberculosis association. During the year $12,000 has been added to the invested funds in gifts and bequests and about $50,000 additional has been subscribed toward the endowment fund of $50,000. The trustees of Atlanta university have offered the buildings and grounds, in case of need, for war purposes, to the United States government. The grounds are already under skilful cultivation, making a valuable demonstration of the possibilities of intensive gardening. Two teachers and fifty students have volunteered for the training camp for officers of Negro soldiers. IDEAL BUSINESS COLLEGE. Practical Work on a Thrifty Institution at Memphis, Tenn. Nashville, Tenn.—The leading Negro business college in the world is located at Memphis, Tenn., according to the latest bulletin issued by the Nashville Negro board of trade of this city. The Henderson Business college, states the bulletin, has passed the experimental stage, owning equipment to THE BLOOD OF THE WORLD PRESIDENT HENDERSON AND CLERICAL FORCE IN CHICAGO. the value of $14,000. Professor George W. Henderson is president of this thrifty racial institution. At present there are enrolled at the school 105 young, men and women of our race who are preparing themselves for practical and useful business careers This business college was founded by Professor George W. Henderson of Memphis, a young man who is possessed of unusual literary attainments. He holds eleven different diplomas, including a college degree from Roger Williams university, at Nashville, Tenn. Professor Henderson is considered the champion shorthand writer and typist of the colored race and is also an expert in accountancy and commercial law. In addition to these qualifications, he has won recognition as a writer and essayist, being termed the "Black Herbert Kaufman." Miller Offers to Raise Army of $0,000. In all sections of the country the colored people are offering their services to the state, nation or municipality in which they live to aid in some way in the present war against Germany. The offer of the Hon. Thomas E. Miller of South Carolina to organise an army of $0,000 colored men to go to the front is enough to silence forever, it seems, any statement that the colored people are not loyal to the flag of their country. When the colored people of South Carolina and Georgia beg to shoulder arms against the enemy in this crisis every traducer of the Negro race in America ought to hide his face in shame. Triatlete Medical Association Meeta. The Triatlete Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical association meeting at Memphis, Tenn., from Tuesday, May 22 to 24, inclusive, included in its program of discussion many topics of first importance to the health and well being of the race. The meeting also records a high note of progress and patriotism. The city of Memphis is richer in racial good will because of the presence of this body of capable men and, women, who are interested and working for the advancement of both races, the states and the nation.

HAMPTON SHOWS FINE PATRIOTISM Former President Taft Says Negro Race Is Worthy. "GREATER" HAMPTON IDEA Virginia Institution Observes Fortyninth Anniversary With Many Pleasing Features—Ninety-eight Students Are Graduated—Resolutions Adopted Pledging Loyalty to State and Nation. Preparedness, loyalty and racial good will were emphasized throughout the recent forty-ninth Hampton institute anniversary celebration. With the presentation by Rev. Dr. Francis G. Peabody of Cambridge, Mass., of ninety-eight candidates for diplomas and certificates to the board of trustees the festivities were brought to a successful close. William Jay Schieffelin of New York, a trustee of Hampton, spoke on --- P. W. COLEMAN, Sec'y. B. J. CATLENT, Supt. the negro's opportunity to serve the nation in the present crisis and expressed his confidence in the negro's ability and willingness in a selective draft to go forward in the spirit of Hampton to cheerful self sacrifice. Dr. Peabody said of Mr. Taft, president of the Hampton board of trustees: "By the logic of events he has been promoted to the enviable position of the best loved living American." Mr. Taft's declaration at the community meeting of preparedness called by Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute, that the loyalty and service of Negroes in the present crisis will make the colored race more valued by all citizens was received with great enthusiasm. Homer L. Ferguson, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding company, declared that those who are robbing the south of Negro farm laborers are doing what is unworthy and unpatriotic. Improving the attendance of Negro boys at their work as riveter helpers has increased the output of his shipyard four cargo ships each year, Mr. Ferguson said. The Rev. Chester B. Emerson of Detroit was elected a member of the Hampton board of trustees. Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York organized and brought to the Hampton anniversary a special Hampton party of eighty men and women representing important business and social interests. The practical educational methods developed at Hampton Institute For the Training of Colored and Indian Youth were graphically shown in agricultural and industrial demonstrations. The addresses of the seniors were full of interest and common sense. Dr. Frissell in his annual principal's report said that preparedness for service is the keynote of Hampton. "Because of the pressing demand upon Hampton for teachers and industrial leaders and because the school will apparently work to greater advantage with more pupils, the board of trustees and the faculty have decided that improvement shall be made toward a greater Hampton. A school of 1,200 means a new auditorium, more dining room space, more dormitories, additional classrooms and teachers and a larger church." The following resolution was adopted by the board of trustees: "Hampton institute, as a national institution, pledges its utmost support to the national government in the present crisis, and, with full confidence in the loyalty of the Negroes and Indians, the school will co-operate in every possible way to aid the policies of the president of the United States." Dr. Frissell's call for a community meeting on preparedness to carry out Governor Stuart's idea of improving the food supply of Virginia and of planning for the better use of all the forces of the Old Dominion met with a hearty response. Former President Taft, Homer L. Ferguson, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding company; Allen W. Washington, president of the Negro farm demonstration work in Virginia, and Lizzie A. Jenkins, in charge of Negro home demonstration work in Virginia, spoke to more than 2,000 representatives, white and colored people, including members of the special Hampton party organized by Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York, a Hampton trustee. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL Faculty and Students Have Season o Joy and Inspiration. In commending the worthiness of the National Training school, Durham, N.C., Dr. James E. Shepard, president, W. G. Bramham, president of the Durham chamber of commerce, says: "The National Training school is in every way entitled to the consideration and support of those who have at heart the future of the Negro race. It struggled into existence here under the guilding influence of Dr. James E. Shepard, and, while it encountered many obstructions in its infancy that would have proved fatal but for the indomitable faith and courage of its founder, it has steadily grown and developed until it is now recognized as one of the leading Negro educational institutions of the country. "The institution's buildings, its faculty, student body and the work it is accomplishing are a lasting monument to those who have kept their faith in the institution during its early struggle and deserve the commendation and hearty support of all our people regardless of race or creed. "Personally and officially I do not hesitate to commend the institution to those who believe in education and the moral uplift of the race. It needs the financial and moral support of the white race and should receive it spontaneously." The commencement festivities of the school began with the oratorical contests of the young women and men of the institution. On Monday, May 17 the address before the joint literary societies was delivered by Editor Joe Mitchell Chapple of the National Magazine, Boston. The program for the remainder of the commencement season is as follows: Sunday, May 13, commencement sermons by the Rev. Daniel H. Clare, D. D., pastor First Baptist church, East Orange, N. J. May 12, 8 P. M.—President's address to undergraduates. May 14, 8 P. M.—Address before joint religious societies by the Rev. Daniel H. Clare, D. D., East Orange, N. J. May 15, 8 P. M.—Annual musical.

How many of us realize how much we will help ourselves by boosting our competitor instead of knocking him? To those of us who do not, the above picture, from Armour, will carry its own message. No amount of reasoning or logic could show any more clearly and definitely just what cooperation means. Let's all apply it to our own business this year and wait for results. NEGROES, STUDY THIS PICTURE. THEN ACT. The Star prints the above lesson in order to convince some of the most skeptical Negroes of Denver and Colorado, as well as elsewhere, what it will mean for ten millions of Negroes whose minds, hearts, objects, purposes, ambitions and work are doggedly set up on one certain thing—elimination of all caste, prejudice and inequality for every one—or certain things of uplift to humanity, and what a unified action can do. This lesson applies to Negroes who patronize others than their own in business, even if you or they don't like the man or men running in business. Patronize him or his competitor of color. Every nickel taken from the business and professional man of color only weakens him and strengthens the chains of prejudice and unfair competition upon your necks, besides helping the race who least need your CLEAR AWAY THE WASTE Bowel regularity is the secret of good health, bright eyes, clear comt that regulates the bowels and relieves ovitic uterine irritation and a mild pain in pills Ipillos and Dr. King's New Life pills.

Think of 100 Negroes putting $1 aside a month in a colored company or in a bank and buying pigs, horses, cattle, chickens, turkeys and Belgian hares and putting those animals on the ranches of our Negro farmers, what would it mean in two years to the farmer, yourself and our Denver community? A Negro auto transportation service, a Negro commission merchant and produce dealer, Negro distributor of eggs and poultry to Capitol Hill customers and a Negro general store in the farmers' settlement all because Denver and Colorado Negroes are working together.

Meridian, Miss.—The colored people of this section of the state are showing a timely interest in local and national affairs and are ready to perform any service for the good of the country at this critical period of our national life. While the farmers are redoubling their efforts to enlarge their crops our business and professional men and women are lending splendid patriotic co-operation in all good movements for the public good. Among the able and influential leaders of the race in this city and state is the well known Dr. D. W. Sherrod, president of the Mississippi Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical and Surgical association. Dr. Sherrod was formerly an instructor in Latin at Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn., and secretary of the board of United States examining surgeons. In order to co-operate with the other leaders here for the benefit of the masses Dr. Sherrod has sent the following letter to all members of the General Medical association with regard to the coming annual meeting of that organization. Dr. Sherrod says: "This is a year impregnated with many possible events. The world seems to be more generally disturbed now than it has ever been since the dawn of true civilization. There are wars and rumors of wars throughout the world. "Every country, organization, race and class of citizens is studying how best to prepare for possible coming emergencies. Our people, the Negroes, are commercially and financially disturbed and are migrating to the north and other sections in great numbers in search of better conditions. "Owing to these general disturbances and the duty we owe severally to our various communities in assisting in this great work of preparedness and readjustment of conditions among the laboring elements of our people, I have, after conferring with the executive committee, decided to defer the meeting of our association until Wednesday and Thursday, June 27 and 28, and I hope that these dates will meet your hearty approval. "We are expecting a great meeting, with quite a number of prominent members of our professions present from other states. You will remember that the meeting will be in Jackson, where ample arrangements are being made to entertain us. "I will thank you for an immediate reply, with your subject sent to Dr. L. R. Young, secretary, Hattiesburg, Miss. "D. W. SHERROD, President." Fifteenth Infantry Regiment in Caram. The Fifteenth infantry regiment.

Address THE DENVER STAR, 1026 Nineteenth Street, Denver, Colorado BAPTISTS VISIT FOREIGN FIELD Secretary Jordan Returns From Trip to Africa. HAD THRILLING SEA VOYAGE Representative of National Baptist Convention Describes Conditions as They Exist In Senegal and Gambia French Colony Furnishes Great Number of Black Troops to the Allies. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. The Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board of the National Baptist convention, has returned from West Africa, whither he went in January to visit the several mission stations and schools fostered by the convention. Dr. Jordan was accompanied by some of the new workers under the auspices of the board, among whom are the Rev. and Mrs. Horton and Dr. Sykes. The trip was one of great profit to the denomination, especially at this crisis of our national race. Describing some incidents of the trip to Dakar, Senegal, and to Bassa, Secretary Jordan said: "We were at sea four days on the steamer Egori, and to say they were days of great anxiety is putting it mildly. Reading of war and being in the zone of warfare are two different things. In Liverpool we paid 60 cents for one egg, a cup of tea, small piece of ham, bread and butter; $6 per day each for lodging. Thinking it better to go on to some African coast town and catch our ship possibly a week later, we boarded this ship Wednesday night, Jan. 24, but remained in harbor till Thursday noon. Our tickets to Bassa cost $115.04. "On boarding the ship our party got together in my cabin and read Phil it, 1930 SECRETARY L. G. JORDAN. 5, and Matt, xxviii, 20, and knelt to pray, thanking God for his care thus far, for the friends who sent us out, for his continued care and protection, that the people to whom we go may receive us and our message be a blessing to them and the kingdom. Then we went apart to meditate, reconsecrate ourselves to God and to sleep. "All we ever heard about 'God will take care of you' comes up fresh in our minds, and we believed all of it. So in his great name we went forward. To avoid raiders and submarines we went 1,000 miles or more out of our course. The weather was bad, and we were all poor sailors. By wireless we learned a submarine was behind us some distance and that a ship on to our left had struck a mine and was sinking rapidly. It cried for help, but we were too far away to go to her rescue. We were called on deck, each coming with his life belt; they were tested and tried on. Each was then shown the boat to make for in case of need. The signal for 'ten minutes' was given and the signal for 'at once', so we would understand. "We arrived at Dakar, Senegal, safely. Here is a city of 25,000 and a colony with more than 2,000,000. In the city only a Catholic mission and one little Protestant mission with less than fifty persons—all this land left to Mohammed and the devil. Oh, for one good man to settle here and peg away for Jesus until he is introduced to at least a few. The French have been at Dakar for 300 years, introducing many useful things and many hurtful and damaging things. "It is possible this colony has given more black troops to the allies than all the other parts of the world combined. We saw quite 1,000 take ship from Dakar for some other points on the coast. The colony is represented in Paris by a colored man. France is not ashamed of her black colonies." The Rev. Dr. Jordan also says that he met many noble men and women at Bathurst, in Gambia. The population of Bathurst is 7,000, and in the whole colony of Gambia there are more than 7,000,000 people. There is one Catholic mission, one Anglican and three Methodist missions. A strong Baptist and an African Methodist to inspire these people would be a godsend to this town and colony. There are no societies or lodges save a little Y. M. C. A. organized one year ago. The need of a religion that deals with heart and life is seen everywhere. VICTORIA LODGE HONORS "FATHER" HENRY C. WADKINS Twenty-third Anniversary of Brooklyn Odd Fellows Wax Affair. Brooklyn—Among the most brilliant functions in secret society circles held in this city recently was the twenty-third anniversary and reunion of Victoria lodge, No. 833, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The guests of honor were Henry C. Wadkins, who organized Victoria lodge May 30, 1893, and members of Mount Zion lodge No. 1670. Mrs. Mary Mallard was chairman of the committee of arrangements, and Mrs. Lucy Cotman presided over the literary program. Special honors were paid to Founder Wadkins of Victoria lodge and Robert Lee Williams, secretary of the Household of Ruth. In giving brief bits of the history of the lodge "Father" Wadkins, as he is affectionately called, said that on the night of May 30, 1883, when Victoria lodge was set apart, forty women assist in the ceremonies or were initiated. Of the men who helped to organize the lodge the following have since died—namely: P. H. W. Hadley, E. A. Johnson, James B. Alston, Alexander Poole and John Parrott. At the time Victoria lodge was organized there was only one Household of Ruth in Brooklyn, but at the present time there are four, Mr. Wadkins asserted. Among others who took part in the program were Mrs. Lydia Jackson, Miss Geneva Cutler, Mrs. Mary Poole, Jeremiah Keeling, Robert Turpin, Isaiah Walker, Mrs. Thess Poole, Mr. Cotman, Samuel Taylor, Miss Maud Robinson and Charles Smith. In honor of "Father" Wadkins as founder of the lodge and his close connection with it to the present time, Victoria lodge presented Mr. Wadkins with a gold jeweled badge. The Household of Ruth also presented Mr. Robert Lee Williams with a gold jeweled badge in recognition of his services as secretary. The presentations were made by Mrs. Blair. Mrs. Williams stated that the first Household of Ruth was organized by Mrs. Katie Robinson at Harrisburg, Pa.. Sept. 29, 1859, and that the organizer was living at the present time.

Chicago: "Hampton institute in this time of national stress, in keeping with its long and honorable traditions, is taking splendid and efficient steps to develop its men and women into worthy and useful citizens. Its agricultural extension work and instruction in military tactics are its greatest measures of war preparedness." Howard University's Patriotic Spirit. Howard university has put at the disposal of the government a site for a training camp for soldiers. There are at least 25,000 colored men available for the army at short notice. One thousand colored men will be trained as officers if the war department carries out its idea of establishing a training camp according to plans already announced. The prevailing opinion in Washington on May 15 was that fully 25,000 colored men would be called at once under authority of the new conscription bill.

ARSENIC AS MURDER CLUE Recent Discoveries Have Made It Possible to Distinguish Between Slow and Quick Poisoning. New light has been thrown on the legal side of arsenic poisoning, says the Scientific American. It has been found that arsenic compounds are absorbed by the hair of living persons, though not absorbed after death. In the hair of a man arsenic has been known to reach a concentration of one to five parts in 100,000. The deposit takes place in the hair after it has been absorbed by the abdominal organs—liver and kidneys in particular. Therefore, in cases of acute, quick poisoning, a chemical analysis of the hair would show no arsenic, while it would be found in the liver and kidneys. On the other hand, if slow arsenic poisoning were suspected, analysis would show arsenic in the hair, but not in the liver and kidneys, and it could safely be assumed that the poisoning was not recent. The legal value of such evidence is apparent. met "ad" appearing In these columns are at the rate of 6c per line If run ‘oy the Issue, or 60c monthly, to be pald In advance, as we have ‘Ro collector for this department.

Our oaths and ob- Mgations compel us to look after the widows, orphans and unfortunate members. What better aid, help, sup- port or succor can we give them than by us now looking out for these then or probably ourselves? The churches could likewise form some co-operative union whereby the poor and distressed members who had liberally contribut- ed once to the church, but, for some reasons were either too poor, too sick or were unable to do so now, could be given proper foods by @ little fore- thought, wise business dealings and expert management. The Star offers this plan to the lodges and their aux- fliaries: First, appoint two men from each male and two women from the female lodges to form themselves into a large committee of the whole; which committee will lay plans and devise 2 ways and means to buy a carload of canned vegetables, smoked meats and other necessaries of life. The purchas- Ing power of a dollar now will be twice that when winter and fall strikes us. And when dollars are gathered to- gether thru donations, assessments, entertainments, etc., and then used and their purchases equally distribut- ed among the lodges to be there re- distributed among the respective mem- bers, will ahow that the Negro is up and doing now. When prices of food begin to soar out of sight, our widows, orphans and sick brethren will feel it first.

Brilliant Young Collegian Being Trained at Fort Myer, Va., to serve as Officer in New Federal Army—Was Formerly Adjutant of Cadets, Dunbar High School, Washington. Washington. It is gratifying to note that our race is represented in the military officers' reserve training camps recently authorized by congress and formally opened on May 14. Of the 200,000 applicants only 60,000 were accepted, and 40,000 have reported for duty in the sixteen camps located in various sections of our country. It is a remarkable fact that of the 2,500 select men now at Fort Myer, Va., near Washington, one of that number being trained as an officer of the United States army is Francis M. Dent of Amherst college, Massachusetts, class of 1917, under special provisions made by the faculty because of war emergency. He passed an excellent physical and military examination and was highly recommended by President Meiklejohn, Dean Professor Olds and the head of the Latin department. In this connection it is interesting to note that Amherst college is also the alma mater of such distinguished men as Secretary of State Lansing, Governor Whitman of New York and the late Hon. Joseph Choate, ex-ambassador to England. Young Dent was also a classmate of Mr. Humphrey Redfield, son of Hon. William C. Redfield, secretary of commerce. He is a Sobrino man and wears the charm that has a peculiar distinction for every son of Amherst college. Before entering Amherst he graduated from the famous Dunbar high school of Washington, where he was adjutant of the battalion of High School cadeta. He is a modest young man, but courageous and brilliant when occasion demands. An instance of this is the fact that last year when the "Birtb of a Nation" was being commended in the chapel service because of its alleged historical value young Dent voluntarily arose in the chapel amid the large student body and the college faculty and in scathing terms denounced the play by Dixon as false in history and a villainous attack upon a helpless race. Afterward when students and professors asked him for evidence upon which he based his spirited attack he gave them, among other things, Governor McCall's "History of William Lloyd Garrison," Major John R. Lynch's "Work on Reconstruction," Rev. Dr. F. J. Grimke's strong address on the "Birth of a Nation" and "The Crisis," so ably edited by Dr. DuBois. Young Dent is the son of Professor and Mrs. T. M. Dent of Washington, who formerly lived in Rome, Ga., where he was born Feb. 19, 1894. Mr. Dent, whose commendable ambition is to serve his country, is a poor young man who by pluck and the true American spirit worked his way through college, and his splendid record and sterling example should be an inspiration to every youth in the land irrespective of race.

Williams, her pastor, was given a vacation and the expense of his visit to Kansas and Missouri, as a deep mark of appreciation and gratitude for his services rendered Shorter. He left Monday night for Western University at Quindaro, Kana., visiting his brother in Kansas City, Mo., thence to visit his mother in Topeka, Kans. While in Kansas City, Mo., he will, on June 8th, deliver the Commencement Address at Convention Hall, the largest in the city, to the out-going graduates. Twenty-five years ago he graduated from "old Lincoln High" and this year the faculty invited one of her own sons to mark out and point the way of success to this year's graduates. Quite a distinction and enviable honor, especially when his class has its reunion at the same time. Wichita, where he labored so incessantly for five years prior to him coming to pastor Shorter, and where he built a $15,000 church, will be the scene of his next stop to visit friends. Thence he will speed back to Denver about June 15, all refreshed, rested and content to again raise Shorter to a higher degree of spiritual standard. Shorter has never experienced a higher degree of real spirituality than now. We congratulate the pastor and the members of Shorter. July 3rd. Drill Team's picnic, Ew ergreen Chapter O. E. S.
