American Honor Violated" Berlin — Discussing the American attitude in the Tage blatt, the well known member of the Reichstag, Dr. Ludwig Hass, said that many Germans characterize Wilson's message as a document of shameful hypocrisy, but as Wilson has many millions of Americans behind him, "one man may be a hypocrite, but never a whole nation. If the American people accept this message without protest, then a tremendous abyss separates the logic of Germans and Americans." "German democracy rejects liberty by the grace of Wilson. It would be better if he had first thought of reforming his democracy of corrupt officials and his democracy of industrial magnates into true democracies before bestowing his blessings on Germany. "He might also abolish out rages against the colored people in his own country. If Americans lynch the poor Negro all is well and good, but if the Negro happens to perish on a torpedoed ship Wilson shouts, 'Citizens your country is in peril. American honor is violated!'" COLORADO BOY APPOINTED OFFICER AT DES MOINES ROSS STEADILY CLIMBS Those who know of the military career of Albert F. Ross, who graduates this June in law after completing a 5 year course at Ann Arbor, Michigan will add to his record of 4 years training as a cadet in Colorado Springs and 4 years as military Instructor at Western University and Topeka Institute at Topeka, the present four months of intensive training at the Officers' training school at Michigan University. We will let the local paper of the school town tell you its story of him. "Albert F. Ross, '17 Law class, University of Michigan, yesterday received notice to await orders from the War Department to report to the national training camp for Colored officers. The camp opens at DesMoines, Iowa, on June 18th. Ross came to Ann Arbor five years ago from Kansas, and has worked his way through the University." The Ann Arbor Times News. The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 LET THE WORLD KNOW. THE SUNNY SOUTHLAND That Hundreds of Our People Are Leaving These Days to Come North. Negroes Go Willingly Without Conscription Cowards Only Sulk in Tents Atlanta, Ga.,-All of the inventions of the southern "white" man to humiliate the Negro the "jim-crow" street car is far and away the worst. Bad as the "jim-crow" railroads are if any passengers on the car or not, the streetcar conditions have them beat a mile. On the leading street car line which runs through one of the best residential streets where our people live, a number of seats must be reserved for "white" passengers no matter whether there are any passengers on the car or not. This car line runs close to Morris Brown College and Atlanta University, race institutions. Should enough people get into these cars any where near the schools to fill the entire car, a certain number of seats must still be reserved for "white" passengers and those who cannot find seats must stand up even tho there be no "white" passengers on the cars. The conductors are clothed with police powers, and woe be unto the unfortunate colored person, man or woman, who happens to offend one of them. No man likes the idea of having to be drafted for military duty. It looks too much like a means which forces cowards to fight. Today, in this great America thousands upon thousands of white boys are rushing into the recruiting stations volunteering their services to their country so that the record will not show that they were drafted—forced to fight and right now they are being accepted with the privilege of saying just how they desire to lay down their lives for their country. The National Guard, Calvary, Infantry, Signal Service, Aerial Corps, Navy or whatsoever branch of the service they care to issue is theirs by volition and choice. Because of the fact that most all history when sifted for the facts is full of error we want the world to know now that this draft law was not made for black folk—it was made for somebody else. The fact that all of the black military units such as the Ninth and Tenth Calvary, Twenty-fourth and Tweniy fifth Infantry, are recruiting to war strength and were five days after the recruiting offices were opened for black volunteers; the fact that the Fifteenth New York (negro) Regiment is recruited to war strenght and is now in practice camp in the Catskill Mountains; the fact that the Eighth Illinois (Negro) Regiment is also recruited to war strength and stand ready to dash to the front; the fact that thousands of Negro boys have been turned away from recruiting stations on the bare statement that "all of your units have been filled" is proof conclusive that the draft selective conscription was not necessary for black folk. A Washington dispatch says the government plans to draft 25,000 blacks out of the first 500,000 to be mobilized under selective conscription. To us there immediately arises this question: Why draft a man who would volunteer? Why place black men in the position of a coward who must be forced to fight. There is a discrimination here in the nation al crisis that outrages all sense of justice. The government thru pressure of southern prejudice—drafting volunteers. In public office buildings, only on certain elevators are our people permitted to ride. I noticed, however, that the "white" people ride in those elevators along with our passengers, altho no colored person is allowed to ride in the elevator set apart exclusively for "white" passengers. Even in the courthouse one sees witness rooms "for colored men" and "for colored women" Exclusive toilets for colored and even "ice water for colored" and "ice water for white" are among the signs seen there. Schools for our children are very inadequate, and there is no colored public high school. Private schools and colleges are the only chance our boys and girls have for anything like secondary education. In the terminal station, or union station, no colored person unless accompanied, by a white person, is allowed to enter the front or main entrance. There is a side entrance for our people and they must go in and out there. If any one does not believe that the South is a hundred years behind the North and West, he has only to make a trip down here on any of the railroads and he will see for himself. Surely the government stands today in a peculiar position. The position that closes the door of military activity to positive loyalty and opens it to men who skulk in the tents of suspicion. For instance, Ferdinand Claudius, who attempted to enjoin the government from enforcing the conscription act in California by alleging that the act was in violation of the thirteenth amendment of the Constitution, may, if he desires join the army tomorrow, and with a gun in his hands and a dagger of treason in his heart corrupt the military unit in which he enters. But what of Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the black Man from Kentucky, whose loyal expressions stopped the machinery of the House of Representatives the other day, while while they were read in the record? Roscoe Conkling Simmons could not enlist today in the army or Navy branches of this government. The door is shut to him although he stands there crying "I want to fight without thought of self, or race, or creed, or politics, or color. I have but one country and one flag—the flag that set us free." That same door is standing open wide for Ferdinand Claudius and all of his pale face conspirators whom the government recently discovered in a plot and under oath to rebel against the military authority of this government. The full war strength of the National Guard is 400,000. There are now in this volunteer for 160,000, is shown in the Congressional Record of April 9. 240,000 men are needed yet to bring this branch up to our military strength, up to requirements, and remember, that in this National Guard there are from the State of New York and the state of Illinois two Negro units—and they are recruited to war strength which goes to show for whom the conscription act was necessary. With Russia apparently about to decide to take care of her own individual business for a while, this country is likely to need the services of all its loyal sons and there is only one way that may shock southern prejudice into that information, and that will be when on the sudden blood-drenched war fields of Europe, German machine guns begin to harvest the souls of American white men. James Judson, the colored Potato King, of Kansas, and James Slocum of Tulsa, Okla. are said to have invested heavily in Chicago and real estate for the purpose of furnishing houses for colored immigrants. LaFollette said in the senate of the United States that a declaration of war might mean the death of nineteen millions of American sons! Who can say? When that time comes there is going to arise a cry for the breastworks of black laddies that have always shielded DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1917 THE BEGINNING OF THE ENDING. 1000 NEGRO OFFICERS. Give us Negro officers for Negro troops. This is the slogan and let no specious argument turn us from it. Liars tell us that only white men can lead black men, and they tell us this in the face of the record of Somni Ali, Toussaint L'Ouverture, General Dodd, Charles Young, and Frank Dennison. Give us Negro officers for Negro troops. Justice and right calls for the admission of Negroes to the civilian training camps on the same terms as white men. This right the Crisis and Dr. Spingarn demanded from the first and we were refused. As the next best thing, Dr. Spingarn said: "If colored men cannot be admitted to Plattsburg and similar camps give them a camp of their own." The Crisis advocated and strongly advocated this alternative. Moreover, the Crisis wonders how on earth the wild and dapper advocates of "Jim Crow" regiments can somersault into opponents of the training of Negro officers in separate camps? Do they want "Jim Crow" regiments? No, but they want black soldiers and they accept separate regiments regiments rather than forego military training. Do Dr. Spingarn and Dr. DuBois and thousands of level-headed colored folk want a "Jim Crow" training camp? No, but they want black officers and they and they advocate a separate camp rather than see Negro regiments officered solely by white men. How easily some of us are beguiled. We are assured that the General Staff will not refuse Negro troops. It may not, but there is every evidence that it intended to in plan drafted previous to the declaration of war which did not become law. We are told to "wait" for our camp until after all white officers are trained, and some colored papers actually rejoice at this, unable to grasp the clear fact that once enough whites are trained for all regiments, no Negroes need apply. the flag, and when that time comes we will not be skulking in our tents. The sons of Bruce, of Douglas, of Washington, of Langston will be found, when the moment comes, standing hard by the side of loyalty. We'll fight for the flag as conscripted Volunteers! We count the day when we can, through our strength and support of the arm of this nation, spread the blush of shame across the face of those who forced to conscript themselves but refused to permit us to volunteer. -Black Dispatch.

STATE FEDERATION OF COLOR- ED WOMEN'S CLUBS Meets June 13-14, at Pueblo The Fourteenth Annual Convention of the Colored Women's Clubs of Colorado and Jurisdiction will convene June 13-14 at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, corner of Pine and Mesa streets, Pueblo, Colorado. Doubtless at this meeting more real club work of the progressive sort will be reported than ever in the history of the Conventions. It seems that the clubs have taken a larger perspective, reached into more profound dephts of real practical every day life than ever before. Denver has a Day Nursery and Girls Friendly Home, which has already done and is doing excellent service. Its power has greatly been felt and the prominent white club women have begun to look up on and affiliate with their sisters of color in such a way that bids for a better under standing and a deeper feeling for humanity. Much interest is centered already in the meeting because of the war, the Red Cross and the many problems arising out of the war which will affect us. Denver, as usual sends down a large delegation. Many club women will visit the sessions. Where in heaven's name do we Negroes stand? If we organize separately for anything—"Jim Crow!" scream all the Disconsolate; if we organize with white people—"Traitors! Pressure! They're betraying us!" yell all the Suspicious. If, unable to get the whole loaf we seize half to ward off starvation—"Compromise!" yell all was Scared. If we let the half loaf go and starve—"why don't you do something?" yell those same critics, dancing about on their toes. It is simply silly to talk about pressure being brought to bear on the editor of the Crisis or on anyone else to back this demand. The only "pressure" brought is the pressure of common sense. Mr. Storey, Mr. Villard, Dr. Spingarn, Mr. Loud, Mr. Ken naday, Mr. Russel, Mr. Walling, Miss Ovington, and Mr. Nash and dozens of other white men are working shoulder to shoulder in the N. A. A. C. P. with us black men and treating us as comrades in a great fight for human rights. It is beneath contempt for the Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette to suggest that their motives are not above suspicion or that the editor of the Crisis has ever been asked by them to advocate that which he did not sincerely believe was right. Just now we demand Negro officers for Negro regiments. We cannot get them by admission to the regular training camps because the law of the laud, or its official interpretation, wick edly prevents us. Therefore, give us a separate training camp for Negro officers. LATER: We have won! The camp is granted; we shall have 1,000 Negro officers in the United States Army! Write us for information.

VIEWS om : EXODUS FROM THE SOUuTA Southern wucieen Says Denial of Justice Is Responsible, The colored people are leaving the fouth by the thousand; more: went tc feare: and more are'going to leave, says the Hon. Joseph C. Manning, a former member of the Alabama legislature, in h letter to the New York Sun. It is more than a wish to better their eco nomic condition that is causing this @eparture of Negroes from the! south. It 1s more a sort of quiet revolution against the oppression and repression vo which southern Negroes have been subjected for many years, . ‘The spirit of revolution has manifest- ed itself in simply leaving the, south. Of course the demand for labor in the north opened the door of opportunity, but the restiveness of the Negro in the far southern states was such that the point was reached where, for better or for worse, the desire to get away bad taken strong hold. : The disfranchisement laws: more than anything else have created. the feeling of unrest and discontent, on,tho part of the southern colored, people. ‘Their relegation to the status of. eub- ject citizen, the denial to, him.ef civic justice, has been. a too bitter pill to. swallow in mere submission, ‘The un- even chance in litigation in the.courts, the oppression of the illiterate and helpless Negro by and through the Processes in the petty courte—these and other minor «persecutions play a part in creating the determined. move- ment to get out of the south gnd go where there is more of a square deal for the average man. Lynching has something to do with adding to the feeling that has brought about this exodus; but, strange as it may seem, the terror of lynching does not go so far in deeply moving the southern Negro as does the losy/ot his rights as a citizen. A Negro minister who was recently in Georgia, Florida, Alabama apd oth- er southern states is authority for the statement that leading Negro ministers and many leading Negroes indorse the movement to get away from the south, advising their congregations that it means protection under the law, tle right of citizenship, better educational advantages for their children an@ free. dom from the increasing wrongs of the south. z ‘This subject of the coming north of southern Negroes was discusséd at a weekly meeting of Baptist mihisters in New York city, and as a Wading minister who had been south told of |, the wholesale departure of southern Negroes for the north, crying out to ‘let them come,” there was @:choras of “Amen.” of ‘These people coming up the south to the states of the west will soon be voters, and , leaders in this section are keeping this in mind. Never before has there been such a united movement om the part of the ministers ef the north among the colored people in the matter of urg- ing Negro voters to quality for voting, “You want to help those left down there in the south by voting up here,” is the way the ministers in the north | are putting their appeals.

Conditions Which Caused Advocacy of Division of Colored Citizens—Vote Between the Two Leading Political Parties—Judge Hudspath's High Estimation of Bishop Walters as Leader. By WILLIAM L. OFFORD, LL B. The political history of the Negro in this country from the days preceding the reconstruction period to the present presents some very brilliant and noble characters, both laymen and churchmen, who severally attained various degrees of prominence as leaders. But it was for but few to attain national recognition and fame as did the late Bishop Alexander Walters. The bishop's education was received, with the exception of a year or so in P THE LATE BISHOP WALTERS, the public schools of his town, under the private tutelage of some of the most brilliant and able teachers of the country, which training was supplemented by extensive travel in this country as well as the continents of Europe and Africa. The books of his fine library bear evidence that he was on the best of terms with them and that they were not merely ornaments. Bishop Walters was a keen observer of the change of the political status of the Negro in recent years and viewed with apprehension the gradual elimination of the Negro from politics both north and south, not only by the Democrats, but by the party of Lincoln and Grant. He saw that the Republican party was looking on with indifference while the Negro was being stripped of his constitutional privileges and immunities. Seeing these conditions, he took counsel of other men of the race, who also viewed with alarm the drift of affairs, and they held a consultation over the politically prostrate body of the Negro, and they decided that the malady from which he was suffering was an overgrowth of allegiance to the Republican party, and the only cure was a division of the black vote. This presented a hard problem, but the Negro, having been deserted by the party he had slavishly served, it was expedient that he form other friendly ties. At this time a friendly hand was extended by some right thinking Democrats, and the support of the colored voters was solicited. Bishop Walters at once became the leader of the colored Democrats of the country. The following letter from former Judge R. S. Hudspeth, national Democratic committeeman for New Jersey, to Mrs. Walters upon the death of the bishop shows the high esteem in which the late Bishop Walters was held by prominent and influential men of the Democratic party: Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 10, 1917. My Dear Mr. Walters—I fully expected to have attended the bishop's funeral and pay my tribute of respect and affection for him, but official duties engaged me, and I was prevented. I was dreadfullyocked when I heard of his death,although it was unexpected, the malady he suffered from,premature death of recovery, yet I wished so earnestly for his return to health. The bishop was a splendid type of a man. His qualities of mind and heart endured him to all of those who had the privilege of knowing him, and I fortunately was one of them. He was human in his ideas and impulses. He was always pleading for those who needed him out of his way to secure favors for them ready to do personal sacrifice to obtain some benefit for the one in whose cause he was interested. In his religious faith he was as simple as a child, that simplicity which was never disturbed by doubt or lack of faith. It was a pleasure and inspiration for me to listen to him talk, as I always left him with the feeling that I had been benefited by his words and in his Maker, but in his fellow men. That would be very much better if we had moved to the shabp. Your race lost a great leader and an inspiring figure when he died. I feel sure that next to the love of his God was his love for his people and that his highest purpose in life was to secure for them the place and recognition in social life which he believed they were fitted to occupy. I want to express to you and your family my sincere sympathy in this the hour of your great bereavement. I am, very sincerely yours. R. S. HUDSPETH. F.

Pope, Who Knows How to Get Results—Better Schools Would Check Migration. By GEORGE F. KING. Burgaw, N. C.—During these days of unrest and the pronounced tendency of thousands of Afro-Americans in the south to migrate north, many of our educators in the south are manfully showing the educational needs of the masses of the race. They are contending that the educational facilities for the race must be made better if the schools are to be effective agencies for racial development. If there is not a substantial effort on the part of the state to give the colored people their just apportionment of the educational funds the industrious and progressive men and women will migrate to sections where their children will have better educational advantages. 1 The situation reveals how well intelligent, honest and progressive men and women can serve the race, especially in the rural sections of the south, where the masses are in need of a loyal leadership. The Pender county commencement of the colored schools, which was recently held here, showed that the influence of the Burgaw Normal and Industrial school has effectively brought about such results that the relationship and co-operation between the races are better. There is a tendency on the part of the educational officials to give their Afro-American patrons better school facilities and thus improve the conditions. As an evidence of these facts during this school term, the schools among our people had an efficient supervisor for the county in the person of Mrs. S. F. Smith, who did splendid work. She has shown what we can accomplish if given a fair chance. There were about 1,200 children in the parade on the commencement day, and the exhibits, literary contests and enthusiastic demonstration on the part of over 2,000 farmers and their families from every section of the county showed the result of helpful and intelligent leadership. Following this event were the closing exercises of the Burgaw Normal and Industrial school. Again a wholesome demonstration was made and registered the untiring seal and efforts of the better element of the race to go forward. The man who is largely responsible for this constructive work in eastern North Carolina is the Rev. C. F. Pope, who is unassuming, intelligent and strikingly forceful in the activities which have resulted in procuring a progressive supervisor for the rural schools. New impetus has been given to the Home Maker's Club workers, a movement to teach mothers and girls how to make good homes. The Rev. C. F. Pope is a native of this state and was reared in Hertford county. After graduating from Waters Normal institute, Winton, N. C., he entered the college and theological departments of Shaw university. After graduating from this university he taught two years at Waters Normal institute and later specialized at Chicago university. He taught theology at Shaw university for eleven years. In 1916 he accepted the principalship of the Burgaw Normal and Industrial school, which has greatly increased in influence and efficiency the past year. Besides his efforts to secure the necessary funds for a new dormitory, which is of pressing need, the Rev. Mr. Pope hopes to have a member of the race appointed as a school demonstration agent. Among his activities will be the conduct of a summer school for teachers and a farmers' conference. Fifteenth Regiment Given Recognition.

Never were the exercises of any preceding commencements so elaborate, so genuinely democratic and equal as those which occurred that night. Our hearts leaped with joy as we looked upon the processional of the graduates on entering the platform, having been previously preceded by 200 junior girls as escorts, all white. When the diplomas were awarded these marching clock-like appearing juniors formed a hollow circle around which the graduates marched and received their diplomas. Fourteen Negroes were lustily cheered, as were others, as they were handed their diplomas before an audience of 35,000 people. Those receiving diplomas were from East Denver, James A. Austin, Inez H. Johnson, Rothacher C. Smith, Harriett R. Travers; South Side, Odessa L. M. Cullough and Georgia R. Washington (the first Negroes to graduate from that school, we're told); Manual Training, Marguerite B. Clark, Mae Anna Hall, Lena M. M. Lewis, Darlene F. Reese and Marie J. Starks, also Rebecca L. M. Smith, and North Side, Madie Nelson and Wm. D. Fountain. While we were pleased, nearly overjoyed, but we failed to note this year any Negro in either the girls' or the boys' oratorical contests, in the cadet battalions, nor mentioned as honor graduates in participating for medals in the patriotic essay contest—all of which educational activities we can participate. Our sweet girls and nicely appearing boys looked fine and the scene would swell any race man or woman's heart with pride, much less the tickled parent who was directly interested. To our graduates we ask now, after graduation, What? The world has fixed its eyes on you to do something of real benefit because of those glorious advantages you had. O, such a responsibility rests upon your shoulders because of the distinguished honors given you. Will you make good? The world will take your measure and time will give the answer. Like errant waves my thoughts do go And wander miles away from me, To reach a land upon whose shore They may at last come home to Thee. II To you they turn when, tired of strife, They crave and seek the boon of rest. But still no craven thoughts are these, Nor do they play a coward's part; Refreshed and soothed by you they seize. God grant that when the fight is o'er And reputation's baule won, They turn again to your fair shore To rest till time itself is done. —Robertson. The Star is glad to be remembered by Mr. Clarence Fitzhugh Holmes, Jr., of 2129 Curtis street, who will graduate this June with a degree of B.S. with an invitation to the graduation exercises Wednesday, June 6th, at 4:30 on the dear old campus ground at Washington, D. C. Mr. Holmes is our own Denver boy, who has gone east and made good. The Star takes this method of thanking Misses Marie J. Starks, Madie Nelson, Darline Reese and May Anna Hall for their kind invitations to their graduation Wednesday night at the Auditorium. There were fourteen graduates of color who received their diplomas at the Auditorium. --- OUR GRADUATES TO ESTELLE. $2.00 1.00 .50 in rate, all subscriptions must be paid is sent to subscribers are lost or stolen, or when due, inform us by postal card cate of the missing number.

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 be wise as serpents. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not. GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. God give us men. —J. G. Holland. WE ALL KNOW HIM.

Pierce as Supervisors of Rural Public Schools in Virginia. Conservation of Food and Other Practical Necessities Taught. Two of the leading addresses at the recent Hampton institute community meeting on preparedness were delivered by Hampton graduates who are supervising important field work among the colored people of Virginia. Miss Lizzie A. Jenkins, district agent in charge of home demonstration work in Virginia, spoke on "The Negro Farmer's Family." She said in part: "Fifteen years ago Hampton institute sent one of her graduates to Gloucester county, Virginia, to supervise the industrial work in the public schools. A few years later, in 1907, the Jeanes fund began to furnish some aid, and four of the supervising industrial teachers were sent out to work in as many counties. This work has spread until now, instead of four teachers and four counties in the state, there are forty-nine workers in forty-eight counties. These workers began with giving sewing lessons, which was soon followed by cooking lessons. "Once upon a time it was thought that all colored girls and women knew how to cook instinctively, but it has been found that they have to be taught in the same painstaking way as do girls and women of other races. We have tried to teach them not so much fancy cooking, but how to make the most of what they have right around them. We also teach table setting, waiting and table manners. "In the sewing classes we teach the girls to cut and make good, practical underwear, aprons, print or gingham dresses; to make over old garments, and after they have done their plain sewing well we let them have some fancy work, such as crocheting and embroidery. "Our workers, in co-operation with the Negro Organization society, have sought suitable homes, placed more than 800 indigent and delinquent colored children and watched over them to see that they have been treated fairly, given a chance to go to school and to church and thus started on the way to becoming good citizens instead of becoming paupers or criminals. Some of these children have become our best club workers. I went into a Sunday school a few Sundays ago and found two of the boys ushers in the Sunday school." John B. Pierce, a Tuskegee-Hampton graduate, who is district agent in charge of Negro farm demonstration work in Virginia, gave a summary of the progress which is being made by Negro farmers in Virginia. He in part said: "In 1907 farm demonstration work began in Virginia under the supervision of Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, with one agent working in one county with about 300 farmers. Today there are eighteen agents working in twenty-two counties. According to the 1910 census, these twenty-two counties have 16,312 farmers, and I estimate that 10,000 of these farmers are now being influenced directly and indirectly to practice better farming and a higher standard of living. In 1910 864 meetings were held, with an attendance of about 35,000. "The average yield of corn when the work began was about fifteen bushels per acre. Last year it was thirty-three bushels in the territory worked. Some of the yields were as high as seventy-five and ninety bushels per acre. "One farmer in Isle of Wight county during 1915, following poor preparation of soil, cultivation of crop and using $105 worth of commercial fertilizer, produced only 540 bushels of corn on thirty acres. Last year he followed under the agent's direction good preparation of soil, cultivation of crop and used no commercial fertilizer and produced 780 bushels on thirty acres, a difference of 240 bushels plus $105 not spent for fertilizer. The land both years was of the same grade and fertility. "In 1907 most of the farmers relied upon their money crops, such as tobacco, peanuts and cotton, for supplying their food and feed. Today about 3,000 of these farmers are raising practically all of their home supplies, and a large number are giving more attention to truck crops, such as sweet and white potatoes, navy beans, cornfield beans, cowpeas, cabbages, turnips, watermelons, cantaloupes, pumpkins and even assisting their wives in having home gardens. There was good cooperative work between the county agents and supervising industrial teachers in helping the farmers to grow and save food supplies. "In the beginning no work was undertaken for the boys. In 1010 298 boys grew corn, peanuts, potatoes, pigs, cowpeas and vegetables. In one county eight boys in corn averaged forty-three bushels, the highest yield being 52.9 bushels. Three boys in pen nuts averaged 42.1 bushels. The corn yield was more than double that for the county. In some instances the success of the son has changed the father from poor to good-methods of farming." GROWTH OF EXTENSION WORK AT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY How a Georgia Institution Is Meeting the City Amusement Problem. Atlanta, Ga.-Atlanta university is doing an important civic service in its college extension work by giving wholesome and uplifting amusement free of charge to the colored citizens of Atlanta. The undertaking in one respect is similar to the work done by Hull House in Chicago some years ago when it used the young Greeks of Chicago to present the ancient classical Greek dramas. To compensate for the lack of opportunity to see plays under conditions of self respect in the theaters of the city the teacher of expression gives plays of the best sort every year. On a perfect moonlight night "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was given out of doors. Nature has provided on the campus in a grove a perfect amphitheater, so that many of those who saw these young people so skillfully perform this play said they never want to see it indoors again. Recently near the close of a term's instruction the class presented "Hamlet," also free of charge. The chapel, the only auditorium the university has, was packed almost to suffocation with an eager audience that would have pleased the great master, William Shakespeare himself, if he could have looked into the faces of the audience, and we think he would not have been displeased with the acting. One who has seen the great actors give these plays is inclined to sigh at the temerity of young actors who would attempt tragedy, and the sigh is often justified. Nevertheless many an amateur has been quickened by such performances. In good music, too. Atlanta university is doing missionary work. Free recitals of oratorios and choral classes bring to these people an elevation of taste to offset the vulgarities of much of the popular music. At the recent commencement former President Horace Bumstead delivered the historical address covering the fifty years of the life of Atlanta university, the first Negro college established in Georgia. Dr. Washington Gladden of Cleveland, O., who once before preached the baccalaureate sermon, was one of the orators, and Professor Monroe Work of Tuskegee was another. PROMOTER AND PATRIOT. Leadership of Dr. James E. Shepard of the National Training School. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. The patriotic response of the colored citizens to the nation's call to duty in the present crisis is a remarkable tribute to their loyalty and devotion to their native country. Groups of men who are engaged in educational work and business enterprises of various kinds have been active in giving instructions to their constituents as to how they may best serve their country and race. Among the stalwart leaders in such work is Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training school, Durham, N. C. As far back as January Dr. Shepard took the initiative in calling the attention of our people to the necessity of making preparation for any crisis which might come upon the nation or the race at a time of nation wide unrest and expectancy on account of the continuance of the European war and the great exodus of our people from the south. When it was seen that war with Germany was imminent Dr. Shepard immediately sent a telegram to President Wilson offering the use of the building and grounds of the National Training school as a recruiting station. When war was finally declared he began at once to show our men the importance of enlisting in defense of the nation. Again when it became apparent that there was not a sufficient number of colored men well versed enough in military tactics to become officers of regiments Dr. Shepard urged that young men of high school and college education (students) prepare themselves for holding rank as commissioned officers. He also studied the situation with a view of seeing that our men get a square deal in the matter of equipment and accommodation. Thus the head of the National Training school has not only proved himself to be an educator, but a safe and wise leader of his race in loyalty to the nation. That he has the support of broad minded white persons north and south in the work of the training school is a matter of supreme satisfaction. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. Boston Branch of Militant Body Asks President to Stop Lynchings. Boston.—The executive committee of the Boston branch of the National Equal Rights league has sent to President Wilson the following letter with regard to the lynching of Ell Persons at Memphis, Tenn., the latter part of May; "To the President, Woodrow Wilson White House, Washington: "Associated Press reports the mutilation and burning alive of a colored man without a trial at Memphis, Tenn., and also that mob intends to burn two more. We call upon you as head of the federal government to make every effort to stay this further blot on the civilization and humanity of this Christian nation. Our laws forbid the burning alive of rats in a trap. We implore you, while saying much for justice and humanity for foreign nations to speak out for justice to 12,000,000 colored American citizens and to stop stirring of resentments. America is rivaling Germany and Turkey in barbaric atrocities.

May God ever bless them and keep them. Mrs. Slizabeth Riley Leachman. PASSED TO THE HIGHEST LIFE. Alonza Thomas Leachman departed this life Sunday morning, May 27, 1917, at 20.

He was a faithful member of Hight Marine Lodge No. 12, F. and A. M., of Salt Lake City, Utah. Given the honors of Masonary found him ever agitating the subject of free Masonary, and during his term of membership in High Marine Lodge No. 12 was always found to be faithful and trust worthy and was ready and willing to meet his going-out. His going-out was the passing of a great and noble character. He leaves to mourn his loss a widow, Mrs. A. T. Riley Leachman, and a host of dear friends. FRED D. ANDREWS.

Mr. Ben Hazard, who for the past six or eight years has held a very responsible and confidential position as steward of the D. A. C. Club, and who has grown very prominent as a stock broker and so recognized in the Stock Exchange, left this week for a three weeks' visit in New York and Massachusetts. While in New York he will put thru a sale of a silver mine, as agent for the E. J. Gillis Co. Brokers of this city. Mr. Hazard enjoys the confidence of his associates. If he succeeds in this venture, he will deal in stocks entirely in New York as a western representative. THRU MOUNTAINS OF SCENERY. Mr. H. F. Chambers and Miss Abba Jones were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Shirito, Japanese friends, in an automobile outing and picnic May 3. The party left Miss Jones' residence, 2412 Marion St. in Mr. Shirito's beautiful five-passenger car. After motoring through town and getting a supply of gasoline and other articles for use in case of emergency, they began their seventy-mile trip. Motoring north, striking the beautiful automobile road known as the Brighton highway, is known to every auto driver in the city for its comfort, scenes of magnificent farms, groves of odoring flower trees, filled with various species of pretty singing birds. This road gave the party a clear view of the rolling chains of the wonderful Rocky Mountains with their peeked heads rising high in the north and fading away to the south. On reaching Brighton after refreshing the ladies with ice cream, chewing gum, coca cola and everything that goes to make happiness for them, they drove east fifty miles to a beautiful half moon shaped grove of willows partly surrounded by a fine deep blue lake in which fish of all kinds could be seen swimming. After having dinner which consisted of two baskets filled with fried chicken, sandwiches, olives, cakes of various kinds and a good supply of soft drinks and everything to be had. We spent the evening having a good time fishing, shooting and hunting. We returned to Denver at 8:15 with 14 trout, some weighing five pounds, 15 inches long and a large variety of cat, black bass, also a large number of birds. After taking Mr. Chambers and Miss Jones home and a hand shake of good bye, good luck and a wish for a speedy duplication of the affair, Mr. Shirito, who is a very successful Japanese merchant in Denver, and his most jolly and affectionate wife, who is a full-blooded German, returned to their home, 4172 Lake Ave., White City.

Hampton Institute's Part In Great Committee For National Defense Movement For National Defense. Recently the Hampton institute faculty went on record as favoring the publication of the liberty loan terms in the Southern Workmen, its illustrated magazine. The school takes this method of co-operating with Secretary McAdoo in the big undertaking of raising enough money to carry on to a successful finish the present world struggle for democracy. To Hampton's donors, friends, workers, students, graduates and former pupils has gone the following statement from the official bulletin, which is published by the committee on public information. It is hoped that all those who can do so at this period of national crisis will co-operate actively in buying the liberty loan bonds and will also make similar plans for future service to their country; The liberty loan bonds will mature in thirty years and be redeemable in whole or in part at the option of the United States on or after fifteen years at par and accrued interest. In order to avoid adding to the heavy burden of work incident to the July 1 and Jan. 1 settlements the secretary, has determined that the liberty loan bonds shall be dated June 15, 1917, instead of July 1, 1917, as heretofore announced, and that the interest shall be payable June 15 and Dec. 15 in each year. Applications must be made on or before June 15, 1917, subject to the right of the secretary in his discretion to close the subscription books at an earlier date, and payment for the bonds must be made as follows: Two per cent on application, 15 per cent on June 28, 20 per cent on July 30, 30 per cent on Aug. 15, 20 per cent on Aug. 30.

The Star knows in no better way for lodges to do their "bit" in this war than for them now to arrange themselves into a kind of a co-operative body that the less fortunate brothers and sisters can and will be taken proper care of when the real famine comes this winter. Our oaths and obligations compel us to look after the widows, orphans and unfortunate members. What better aid, help, support 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 contributed 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 goods by a little forthought, wise business dealings and expert management.

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. NEGRCES, 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 com- that regulates the bowels and relieves exspur- ence upon puim a am sine ojf men sxing.

Miss Spencer Finds 201 White and 66 Colored School Children Afflicted. New York.-The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has just completed an investigation of the record of school children in Harlem, New York city, afflicted with heart disease. This investigation, made with the approval of the acting superintendent of public schools, was made by Miss Naomi B. Spencer and covered all schools in the district, including private and parochial schools in which colored children are part of the school population. The purpose of the investigation was to find out how nearly perfect the records are kept and to ascertain whether these children are actually being referred to heart disease specialists for relief or cure. The name of every child whose case had been diagnosed as heart disease has been referred to the heart disease clinic of the Harlem hospital, which for children is open on Saturday mornings and in which any child whose parents are not able to provide expert care may receive treatment. The class for adults is held on Thursday evening. Miss Spencer visited seventeen schools and found a total in eleven schools where the records were seen of 267 cardiac or children afflicted with heart disease. Of this number sixty-six were colored. The investigator noted the general health of the children and recorded the following conditions among the children affected: Nasal breathing, defective vision, defective teeth, hypertrophied tonsils and malnutrition. Because of the attendant disorders, the committee on heart disease of the Urban league and Dr. Frederic Brush and Miss M. L. Woughter of the Association For the Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease thought that the colored people of New York city should know the danger of such conditions in their children, these defects probably being the forerunner of heart disease in childhood and adult life. In addition to the work of the cardiac clinic of the Harlem hospital for persons afflicted with heart disease, the Urban league and the social service department of the Harlem hospital have entered into an agreement by which employment may be found for cardiac cases less destructive to the health of the patient. For instance, care will be taken to give no cardiac work requiring him to climb stairs or to perform other laborious tasks which produce fatigue. During health week, recently conducted, Dr. Robert Halsey, heart disease specialist at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, addressed the members of the Manhattan Medical association at a banquet, the subject being "The Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease." WARNING TO STRANGERS. Newcomers Should Head Advice of National Urban League. New York—In keeping with its progressive policy of thoroughness in every detail of its work for the protection of our people who continue to migrate from the south, the headquarters of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, at 2300 Seventh avenue, New York, has sent out some excellent advice and warning. The league says to all who contemplate going north or west: Be sure you are in communication with responsible people in the north or elsewhere before leaving home. You should know exactly where you are going and carry warm clothing with you, even during the summer. You are likely to get confused and lost in the great crowds at the plers and railroad stations in the large cities. If you are planning to come north you should have some trustworthy person meet you. You might have your pastor advise you. Bear in mind that you will receive many free offers of help from crooks, thieves, labor agents and other exploiters. Accept none of these, but ask any policeman or travelers' aid worker at the railroad station or steamboat dock to direct you to an office of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes or to one of its branches listed below. This organization has branches in many of the large cities and does practical work in helping colored people who have reached the north or west. League offices are located at: New York, 2903 Seventh avenue (One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street); Detroit, Mich., 297 St. Antone street; Brooklyn, N. Y., 102 Court street; Chicago, 3719 State street; Pittsburgh, Pa., Associated Charities, 535 Fulton building; Philadelphia, Armstrong association; 810 Brown Bros.' building, and Philadelphia Association For Protection of Colored Women, 1506 Catharine street; Newark, N.

YOUNG COLLEGE MEN SHOW PLUCK Success of Patriotic Movement Led by Group of Students and Backed by Broad Minded Men and Women of Both Races Has Significant Bearing on Future of Colored Americans. On Saturday, May 19, the war department authorized the establishment of an officers' reserve corps training camp for colored officers for the new federal army at Des Molnes, Ia., to start June 15. The decision, which came as the result of persistent effort by students of Howard university, the central committee of Negro college men and many distinguished men and women of both races, is regarded by qualified opinion as the greatest opportunity for Negroes since the civil war. The establishment of this camp marks a radical change in the policy of the American government. For years Negrews, with a few exceptions, have been excluded from holding official positions in the army and navy. West Point and Annapolis have been practically closed to them. One colored man after another has sought to secure training offered to other classes of American citizens, but no amount of democratic argument or political influence could convince the administration of the justice of such appeal. The war, however, has brought a new situation. A crisis faces the country, and when conscription passed the questions immediately arose: How can colonies serve best their country? Shall they stand on the abstract theory of equal rights, or shall they with common sense meet a practical situation for the advancement of the race and the welfare of the nation? Already fourteen camps have been established for the training of white officers. The war department has officially declared that it would be impractical to admit colored men to any of those camps, which would mean that the thousands of intelligent Negroes in the United States would be forced under the conscription bill to serve as privates with little possibility of opportunity to rise above noncommissioned officers. Loyal to the cause of the Negro, believing in the principle of equality, but at the same time realizing that obstinacy is not firmness, when the government refused to open its camps to all its citizens a separate camp was sought as the next best thing for securing officers. The Negro, ever ready and willing to serve his country, has been kept out of official positions too long. The time has come when he should occupy a place in our army and navy similar to that which he occupies in other spheres of American life, and it is believed that in effecting the training and equipping of one or two thousand officers the central committee of Negro college men has brought about a movement that will not only add to the brilliant records of Bunker Hill, San Juan and Carrizal, but will make the Negro in truth and in deed a fundamental part of the national life of the United States, a partner in the fight for a world democracy, establish Negro leadership on a stronger and firmer basis, belle the accusation that the Negro is fit for nothing else than a subordinate and pave the way for greater and higher things. All young men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, having high school education and physically strong, are requested to send their names, height, age, weight, previous military experience, if any, and school attended to the central committee of Negro college men, Howard university, Washington, C. B. Curley, general secretary. Examining stations will be opened at all Young Men's Christian associations, from which applicants may forward their names to Secretary Curley as mentioned above. The leaders in the movement wish it understood that they do not accept the camp as segregation—they are wholly opposed to such discrimination—but they do accept it as a means to an end and as an opportunity for the 100,000 colored men to be chosen for war duty, to be officered by men of their own race. The camp accommodations and pay will be the same as those for white men. The railroad fare of those who go to the camp will be refunded. Hampton Students Show Great Thrift. That members of the Hampton institute graduating class are alive to the economic, educational and social problems of the passing hour is shown by the questions which the boys have been debating in their English classes. Here are a few of the questions which they have discussed: "Negro Migration to the North Should Be Encouraged." "Ignorance Is a Greater Menace to Civilization Than Poverty." "The Submarine Is More Effective In Modern Warfare Than the Dreadnought;" "Hampton Institute Is of More Value to the Negro Race Than Howard University;" "All Labor Disputes In the United States Should Be Settled by Arbitration." BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS MEET IN BOSTON JUNE 12 Annual Session of New England Convention to Be Largely Attended. Boston.-Reports received by N. B. Dodson, president of the New England Baptist Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. convention up to Monday, May 28, indicate that the schools in the seven states and the District of Columbia will send their full quota of delegates to the annual meeting of the convention to be held in this city June 12 and 13. The convention will be the guest of the Ebenezer Baptist Sunday school, of which Dr. T. E. McCurdy is superintendent. By the direction of the president and the board of managers, the corresponding secretary has sent the usual letter of greeting, with statistical blank and delegates' creden- tials, to the schools and B. Y. P. U. s throughout the jurisdiction of the convention. It is the aim of the officers to enroll a larger number of the schools at the coming session than has been true of any previous year. Among the objects of the convention, aside from the helpful information it gives to its membership in Sunday school management, are the fostering of small schools, contributions to educational institutions, charitable institutions and missions. The progress of the smaller schools to which the convention has contributed quite liberally is very gratifying to the convention. For the benefit of the public we mention the splendid work which is being done by the Friendship and Antioch schools in Brooklyn and the Mount Carmel school at Arverne, N. Y. The convention has stood by these schools from their very inception, and they have shown their appreciation of the help received by diligent work. High Compliment Paid to Our Sailors 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. Ships' masters have declared them to be among the brevest of crews under the most trying situations." Fifteenth Infantry Regiment in Camp. The Fifteenth infantry regiment, New York national guard, of 1,200 men under command of Colonel William Hayward, is in camp. The First and the Third battalions, composed of Manhattan troops, were in command of Majors Edwin W. Dayton and W. A. Pickerling. The Second battalion, from Brooklyn, was in command of Major Monson Morris en route to the camp. Kentucky Minister Eager For Action. The Rev. Robert Quarles of Paris, Ky., has offered to recruit 1,000 colored men for service in the present war with Germany. The Rev. Mr. Quarles says that he can easily enlist this number from the four counties bordering the town of Paris and that he will lead his men to the front at any time President Wilson commands their services. 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 dag. 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.

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. DO YOU WANT HAIR?

Madison of 1266 Emerson Sunday afternoon gave an old-fashioned "chicken" dinner with hot rolls to a few friends who were to talk for one hour on the subject of "chicken" only. The dinner was filling to the eestasy and joy of all, delicious, unique and will be ever suggestive of that "chicken gravy." Mrs. Madison has shown herself a royal hostess and an excellent cook of "goodies." The music was furnished by a music box of tin cans.

A., thru the efforts of Mrs. Annie Hicks, gave Denver such a rare musical treat, such as can only come from trained artists, it is not saying too much in praise and honor of those world-famed singers, that they honored Denver and verily sustained the reputation of that school Friday night. The music was so sweet and heavenly, harmonizing with perfect symmetrical blendings, even in the heavy shades of tones and the lighter and dainty touches of musical flights that the public is still talking about them. It sounded as if an invisible organ had been suspended in mid-air in the church, so heavenly, pleasing, round and full were the tones. Jas. A. Myers, as a reader, was especially good in the interpretations of Dunbar. Mrs. Jenny Hicks Le Noir, whose voice has so wonderfully developed in sweetness and volume, our own dear Jennye, certainly made good in her part in the quartette, and as a solo artist. Her former teachers, Mmes. Berlin and Cooper, were all smiles when she rendered encore after encore, receiving two lovely bouquets of American beauty roses.

Rocky Mountain lake was the greatest scene of sport activity which has happened in Denver in years. The Y's were out with their yells for the grade school, high school and Senior clubs, each boosting for his or her member's success. The park was filled with people, while the air resounded with noise, yells and music from the progressive "Y" band. The threatening weather deterred hundreds from coming out, but those whose life and real activity depended upon their action were there in large numbers. The girls with their middle blouses and bloomers and the boys in their decorated track suits gave the scene a true athletic day of sport. Even the babies in their little folk dance showed the expert manner and careful teaching that Mrs. Helen Johnson had been training them. All honor to both Mrs. Johnson, Miss Mable Andrews and to Messrs. Bell and Parks, together with a great credit to the band for the success on that occasion. Next year, in fact sometime in July, another big sport event will be pulled off at the lake by the Y's and another big time will be enjoyed. Mrs. Lillie A.
