TWENTY NINTH YEAR Number 37 Interesting Concerning the R Norfolk, Va. - Considerable excitement prevailed in the neighborhood of Church and Queen streets, last Wednesday night, when three United State sailors were arrested with faces blacked to represent colored men. It may lead to the solution of the mystery of a wave of crime in this city at the door of colored men of the navy. Below is a press dispatch which tells its own story. We shall watch this with time and patience to see what will become of these men who have really committed a crime and much different from that committed by the soldiers of the 24th Infantry when they were protecting themselves from mob violence and outrages of the police department. White men can do most anything and get away with it but if coloreb men do something to protect themselves, they are lynched, burned or imprisoned. There must be an awful mean, contemptible class of whites about Houston, Texas. Billy Sunday has our permission to go there and clean up the town: Houston, Tex.—Approximately 100 men belonging to various organizations in the headquarters trains and military police companies escaped from Camp Logan in rebellion against an order transferring them to other organizations in the division. All but two of them have been captured and will probably face charges of conspiring to mutuny, it was announced today. The majority of the men were from the old "Fighting Seventh"guard regiment of Chicago. --- THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN E. Willis Bradley, Dramatic Tenor, who will appear at Zlon Baptist Church Sunday morning and evening. Tulsa, Okla., April 28.— "We are going to continue this war until the Stars and Strips float over Berlin," Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo told a crowd here last night. "That time will be prolonged," he continued, "unless every American throws his everything into the struggle. Buy Liberty bonds." United States. Senator Stone's body was carried by six Negro pallbearers while it was in Jefferson City last week These men had been around the statehouse since the time Stone was governor. Heading them, and perhaps the best known, was Alex Slater, whom Stone, as governor, picked up at Aux Vasse, Mo. It is said that whenever Senator Stone went to the capital Alex met him and attended to his wants and the senator unvariingly on departing left a a $20 bill in Alex's hand. Alex has been an ardent Democrat for years. New York.--Through the untiring efforts of J. Phillip Morgan, their president, the members of the Elevator and Switchboard Operators Union were granted a charter and full fledged recognition by the American Federation of Labor on last Friday. Howard University has been commandeered by the Government and is closing this week, one month earlier than usual for the establishment of a radio school. All is hustle and bustle at Howard preparing and holding commencement. The Governa has commandeered both the buildings and grounds and it will make an ideal place for a radio school, Facing The Cross Since many of the white foreigners who have not only accepted our free school education and have then taken advantage age of our West Point and Annapolis for their military knowledge at the expense of our government and who themselves or their parents came over here to escape injustice and enjoy liberty, have refused to serve the government when the final test came to buy bonds, fight or eat less, yet a Negro no matter how worthy, capable, ambitious and intellectual is still barred from the privileges and educational advantages allowed people who happen to be white. If the Government is not blind to her experiences in this war, it will note with pleasure and reward with generosity the loyalty and uncomplaining sacrifices of her colored citizens, who at all times thru out the history of country, has the first time yet to slack from duty or betray a trust imposed upon them. The only difference between the kaiser cruelties and the mob spirit in the U. S. is the distance between the crimes. While the Kaiser commits heineous crimes on his enemies, the South perpetuates worse crimes on her own citizens and in many cases distant blood relatives. Then the greatest danger to the welfare of our people comes from a class of citizens who pay no attention to and injustice, as long as, it was a victim. Since that day when John Hawkins appealed to Queen Elizabeth, the then English Sovereign, so grant him a charter that would allow him to go into Africa, to take the Natives to the West Indies to civilize and christianize them, was the beginning of a camouflage that has been harmful to our race to such an extent, that for a great many years it was considered an accomplished fact that we would continue for ever to be divided. But today conditions are very much improved, that instead of being fooled, we are fooling the others; for we are thinking, and thinking seriously too. I venture to predict, that, at the present rate of thought exchange among our peo ple, it would not be a hundred years either, before the world, would behold in us, a race welded together as one. The English quack glozeing our West Indian brethern, by telling them that they possess some superiority over the Americans; and the degenerate cracker, lieing to the Southern born, that they are better than the Northerner, worked for a while through ignorance. But alas, we have solved their machiavelian methods and arrived at the intelligent conclusion that their object was to divide us, by having us to believe that although we are of one race, there was a difference between us. A few years ago little we concern ourselves about the conditions of our people in the South: but today, if an unjust decision is rendered, or if one is mistreated, by the poltroon rabble, it reacts upon all, because we are recognizing our people as one. And altough, we are miles from the land of our ancestors we are not overlooking the many inhuman laws that are rati-fied to humiliate and keep them forever in subjection and slavery. That one might have an idea of the justice that they have been are receiving to day, I will quote Mr. Keyter, defending the laws of the Orange Free States: "I wish to openly denounce, and most emphatically so, that the people or Government of the O. F. S. had treated the coloured people unreasonably, or unjustly, or in any way oppresively. On the contrary, the O. F. S. had always treated the coloured people with the greatest consideration and the utmost justice the O. F. S. had made what Mr. Merriman called stringent laws. He (Mr. Keyter) calls them just laws." "They told the coloured people plainly that the O. F. S. was a White-Man's Country, and that they intended to keep it so." (Hear, Hear.) "They told the coloured people that they were not to be allowed to buy or hire land, and that they were not going to tolerate an equality of Whites and Blacks and that they were not going to tolerate that in the future, and if an attempt were made to force that on them, they would resist it at any cost to the last, and if the Natives wanted to remain there he must be in service." (Which means in our opinion, a hewer of wood and drawer of water—Editor, N. N. M. "We are fighting to save the world from Barbarism, but God alone will decide."—Oh, ye hypocrites! The above is mentioned to show that might means right towards us and the same people in Europe and America, are clamorous to-day, denouncing MIGHT, when practise upon them The fact that now we are itally concerned about the treatment meltea out, and condition of our people through out the world, will, no doubt, evoke surprise from those who thought that we would denouncing MIGHT, when practise upon them Americans hold up their abhorrence. But we have an American frightfulness which makes America appear a hypocrite. I mean our national sin of lynching. This thing is the disgrace of the American people. It does not exist among other civilized nations in any such degree, except as Russiz persecutes the Jews and Turkey the Syrians, Greeks and Armenians, and it in some degree lowers us to the level of those countries. Neither England, France nor even Italy is stained with this rape of the law as is America. Every man, every newspaper and every organization that observes silence when Negroes or alleged German sympathizers are lynched becomes to that extent a conniver at the crime. Nothing done in Belgium by Germany or by Turkey in Armenia exceeds our treatment of the Negro in its iniquitons shamelessness. The United States can not afford to let it continue. We sow seeds of hate in 12,000,000 American citizens who happen to have black blood, and we may yet reap a harvest of dragons' teeth. America can not make the world safe for democracy until if first makes democracy safe for its Negro citizens.—Spokesman-Review Spokane, Wash. Gary—Ras Bar, an Ethiopian rabbi, from Abyssinia, has moved to Gary, and announces he will establish a temple for Afro Americans speaking Arabic, English, French and Hebrew. Ras Bar says he be long to the Ethiopian nobility He says he will endeavor to win the Colored people to adopt his faith. forever, remain indifferent, forgetting, that there is an end to every mortal thing. Therefore, that decision that has cost us so many un happy moments is dying rapidly. Furthermore, we are beginning to learn to accept facts, not imagination, because 350 years ago there was not a Negro in this Hemisphere, and then, are we not a Negro in this Hemisphere, and then, are we not the offspring of those that were brought over? We are also told that we are different from the West Indian, although over 1000, 000 slaves were brought from the West Indies and distributed in the States of Carolina and Georgia and there were also exchanges between New England and Barbadoes. We may differ in certain ways due to environment, education and training, but nevertheless we are consanguineous. Therefore let us be still more clannish so that we will not continue to be a race always but a nation, who will not appeal for rights and justice, but will be in a position to demand them.—New Negro Magazine. FIVE CENTS A COPY. Chicago.—Mrs. Grace Wilson is now policewoman Grace Wilson and ex-officio Bailiff os the Municipal Court. She was sworn in to perform her duties last Thursday at 3:30 p. m. by acting Chief of Police Alcock, and assigned to the third precinct, Cottage Grove avenue station, Gapt. Mullen, commanding. Mrs. Wilson was one of the three colored women who successfully passed the examination last year, but as no appropriation was made for any more policemen none were appointed. Alderman Anderson thrum much effort succeeding in getting his sixty-nine colleagues in the council to vote with him for the passage of an ordinance making appropriation for one more policewoman and as Mrs. Wilson was at the top of the eligible list, she was certified by the Civil Service Commission and appointed by the Chief of Police. Mrs. Wilson is the only colored policewoman in the United States. There are several probation and truant officers in the city as well as in other cities but no regular police woman. Ald. Anderson is due much credit for securing the appointment, and Mrs. Wilson has the congratulations of the entire colored people of Chicago and else where. Mrs. Wilson is highly quali fied for the place. She is a graduate of the high school at Evansville, Ind., and a woman of vast experience. Her real work has been that of "Mother" at the Home for Incorrigible Girls, Glencoe, Ill. This place was sercured by a competitive examination and she was the only member of the race to apply for the examination and then she stood first above her white competitors. Washington, D. C.-The Department of Justice has been asked by the War Department to investigate the case of First Lieutenant Charles A. Tribbett (colored) of the National Army and report what legal redress he has for the action of the civil authorities of the state of Oklahoma in arresting and imprisoning him for alleged violation of the state 'jim crow" law. Lieut. Tribbett is from New York and was ordered to proceed by the usual means of transportation to the army post at Fort Sill, Okla., so instruction in aviation. When the train on which he was traveling was stopped at a station near Chickasaw, Okla., it was boarded by a Sheriff and party, who arrested Tribbett, who was in regulation military uniform, for riding in a car with white people. 2 'I'M SO SURPRISED! Occasion When Etiquette Ordains This Expression. And Chief Time Is When People Plan a Visit In Force to Some Neighbor Who Is Not Supposed to Expect It. Following upon the first frost each winter there is a fresh breaking out in the real old rural districts of what is known as the "surprise party fever," the disappearance of which comes only with spring flowers, spring work, spring weather, and spring fever. Surprise parties have a deeper significance in the country, where they are accompanied by sleigh rides, mollasses candy pulls, and other side issues, than they have in the city, but the city neighbor does not escape the surprise party epidemic altogether. The most surprising feature of the surprise party, to the uninitiated, is usually that it is seldom a "surprise." Some good neighbor, who fears some other good neighbor will steal her thunder, conveys the news of the much-heralded event to the object of the plan, who in turn says nothing but prepares for the occasion—of course, knowing nothing about it—and thus the plot thickens. The bed is moved from the front room downstairs. The husband may suspect something, but he says nothing. The broom plies its way to the remote corners of the house, propelled by one-woman power, and dust, dirt, and cobwebs disappear from the face of the earth—or at least from that immediate portion of the earth. Susie's room is fixed up as a place for the women to store their wraps, and the upper spare room has the frost. drawn out by an oil stove, so the men will have a place to put their overcoats, overshoes, and hats, and also a place to smoke. Arriving on the scene, the spokesman and chief instigator beats a tattoo on the front door. The victim throws open the door, takes in the situation, clasps her right hand over her mouth, utters a much-rehearsed gasp, and falls back into the best rocker, murmuring a semiaudible "I'm so surprised!" The party is from that moment a good success and forty-five of the fifty present believe it is. In half an hour the husband, who is the party of the second part in the scheme, comes down the back stairs, dressed in his best, having finished putting out the horses for the visitors. He now falls in line with the general plan and admits that, although he had a sneaking suspicion there was something up, he still was in the dark as to the time it would happen. The evening passes and the supper hour arrives, bringing with it the climax of the event. Two or three men are seen to draw toward the door, at the same time wearing an embarrassed grin. They presently return, dragging in a brand-new table, a present, toward the cost of which those present have contributed a dollar each. The minister or the school teacher is called upon to present the gift—not bestowed for its intrinsic value but for the mark of friendship it conveys—and this is followed by the recipient making known that she is too affected to reply and the climax of the evening is passed. When supper is over and it is time to go home you start on the return trip, and on the way are told the party was gotten up by the one who received the gift, and as you ponder over the working out of a well-planned affair you are led to wonder, after all, whose surprise party it really was.—Knickerbocker Press. Germans Salute British "During my first few days in Lucerne I had an experience that was humorous and seemingly anomalous until I got an explanation," said a Red Cross worker who returned recently to the United States. "The mountain republic is filled with interned soldiers from both sides, and I went about a good deal with a British officer in charge of many British prisoners. "Is he a German? civilians whispered to one another as we walked to our hotels. The Britsher was literally bombarded with salutes from German soldiers, and at the outset it became embarrassing for him. But his embarrassment could not continue long, as the salutes were too frequent. Soon he was acknowledging them as mechanically as if he had been walking through the streets of London. "The matter was made plain to me when later I found out that it is the rule in Switzerland that soldiers of all armies salute officers of all armies. German discipline did the rest." Profiteering an Old Crime. Profiteering in necessities, which has been revealed in all degrees of baseness since the United States entered the war, is one of the world's oldest crimes, according to the Bible and other ancient writings. Bunyan showed that it was one of the banes of his time, and Pepys told of the sacking of storehouses by the hungry English populace as the speculators held back supplies for higher prices when the people starved.

Denver, Colo. A BRILLIANT DENVER GIRL DIES. Mrs. Carrie Barnes-Ross, who, only last year, married Dr. Ross, a prominent doctor in Boston, Mass., in Indianapolis, Ind., suddenly died after a brief illness in Boston, her newly-made home. Dr. and Mrs. Ross were only recently blessed with a fine, bouncing 10-boy. The sad intelligence came suddenly to her mother living at her home at 775 Franklin St. Sunday afternoon. Everyone knew of the wonderful record and achievement made by both Miss Pearl and Carrie Barnes while in Denver, and no finer set of girls ever lived better and more refined than they. Mrs. Ross was an active suffragette, and one of the pioneers in Indiana who can honestly claim honor for helping Indiana to vote her women suffrage. She leaves a mother, sister and uncle, besides her deeply-bereaved husband to mourn her loss. DOUGLAS UNDERTAKING CO FUNERAL NOTICES.

Mrs. Mary Young of Welton street, one of Denver's oldest citizens and a faithful and prominent member of the Columbine Temple and Shorter's Church, left early part of this week for Delta, Colo., where she will remain indefinitely. Her many friends will miss her. Woman Could Stand a Lot From Mere Man. But— When She Was Told That She Didn't Know Enough to Wind a Watch She Was Ready to Fight at Once. "I feel exactly like an alarm clock all wound up and ready to strike," she announced. "What in the world has happened?" said I. "Nothing," said she, "except that a mere man has insinuated that I haven't sufficient intelligence to wind a watch." "Oh, a man downtown in a jewelry store. You know," she went on, "that Peggy has to have a watch or she'd never come in from play on time and she has to have one that doesn't object to being stepped on occasionally, or dropped on the sidewalk, or left in the bathtub. So I buy her a cheap and hardy variety that lasts about a year and when that is used up I get her another. It's more economical than paying to keep a higher bred article in repair. "Well, I bought her a new one last week. The thing acted queer from the start. Sometimes it would plunge furiously ahead as though it were bent on beating all the rest of the timepieces. Sometimes it would lag hours behind and sometimes it balked altogether. It performed more antics than you would think possible for a creature with only two hands. And all this time I was winding it faithfully. "After several days of such acrobatics, I gave up winding it and intermed the thing in a bureau drawer to await a time when I could take it back to the jeweler's. "I took it back yesterday. I laid the watch and my troubles before that jeweler. He said if I'd leave it half an hour he'd look into the matter. "Half an hour later, when I returned, a dozen other folks, more or less, had collected around the watch counter, all apparently waiting for their watches, too. I asked for mine. And in the presence of all those attentive ears and eyes he handed back that crazy little rattletrap, and remarked in a clear voice that 'it was run down and I couldn't expect any watch to go if I didn't wind it.' "Now, I've been stuck on the road in an auto that refused to budge another inch. And I've sent to the service man who has rushed to my rescue for the purpose of telling me that there wasn't any gasoline in the tank. But that didn't irritate me. Anybody's liable to run short of gasoline. "And once, a long time ago, when I lived in a house that had a cistern and a pump in it, I paid a plumber to come up and tell me that the cistern was empty. I did not mind that, either. I hadn't been down in the cistern—how should I know it was empty? "But for any man to presume to inform me that a watch has to be wound—well, I suspect that when Kipling wrote that stuff about the female of the species being more deadly than the male, he had just seen some woman who had been told that her watch wouldn't run unless she wound it." "However," said I in my best Peace Palace style. "to my certain knowledge there are a number of jewelry stores in this town where they listen to one's troubles with all the patience and attention of a family doctor. I suggest that you erase this painful episode from the tablets of your memory and buy your annual watch at one of these other places." "It's a good suggestion," said she, "and so be it."—Detroit Free Press. Sailed 400.000 Nautical Miles. Few men know their native countries as well as Earl Brassey, deed in England at the age of eighty-two, knew the globe. All the world had heard of the yacht Sunbeam; no important port had failed to welcome the bluff old sailor and his floating home. His record of 400,000 nautical miles in his yacht means that he lived much of his active life in defiance of the elements and in close companionship with things maritime, an environment only a true lover of the sea would seek. So it came about that, to the minds of millions, Earl Brassey appealed as the personification of healthy ocean adventure and seamanship, and now his death breaks a link with the old days when a stout, inoffensive ship could sail the seas without fear of pirates, mines or torpedoes, says the Montreal Star, and a courteous sailor could find a gentlemanly welcome the world over—except, perhaps, at Kiel. Can't Afford 'Em Now. "There goes a five-dollar hat," said a man on the back platform of a Pennsylvania street car recently, as his headpiece left him at Pennsylvania and Ohio streets, and went sailing over the post office. It cavorted around in the air, and finally came down, almost within his reach, as the car stopped at New York street, but suddenly took another swirl upward, and passed east over the Pennway building. "It seemed a half-mile high," he says, "but I decided to follow it for a while on the run. It started downward again, and I legged it up Massachusetts avenue two squares from Ohio street, where some one had caught it and was looking around for a bareheaded man." The loser of the hat was a newspaper man, and explained his ownership of a five-dollar hat by saying he got it while at college, when his dad was paying expenses.—Indianapolis News. WHAT CAUSED HER SURPRISE Would Almost Seem That This Woman Had Idea Sailors Never Washed Their Uniforms. The waiting room of the Long Island railroad side of the Pennsylvania terminal was not even crowded the other afternoon when four fashionably gowned women, two of them carrying large knitting bags, entered from the train platform. The woman who was burdened with the largest bag immediately led the way toward a bench where an American seaman in the uniform of the navy sat reading a book. Without warning the women took seats on either side of him and besieged him with questions. "I am so interested in you sailor boys," said the leader emphasizing the "so." "We're so interested," corrected the youngest of the four. "My," said the third and apparently next youngest, "you've been in the navy four years. I can tell it by the stripes on your sleeves. Have you been to sea much?" The man grinned. "Quite a bit," he answered. Then followed a volley of questions that would have bewildered an oracle. The seaman was asked about the coast of Africa and the cost of tobacco, the climate in Brazil and the storms on the Atlantic. Finally the owner of the largest and heaviest knitting bag made herself heard above the others. "Ain't you a third-class gunner?" she asked. "Uh-huh," was the answer. "And do you tell me that you've been in the navy for four years?" was the next question. "Uh-huh." said the seaman. "Four long years," she commented, "and my, how clean your uniform is." and my, how clean your uniform is. The seaman when last seen was a passenger on a train. He was holding his head.—New York Times. Airplane of the Future. We have no logical right to think that our flying machines of today are more than the crudest caricatures of the airplanes of the future, says a writer in the Scientific American. We engineers are a little apt to become so engrossed in our immediate difficulties of design that we do not see further ahead than is suggested by our own ideas and make predictions for the future that only follow along the lines of progress that we can clearly see. The writer has often been asked if he thinks that flying will ever become an ordinary means of travel. His answer is that he does not think, but that he knows it will become so. Ten years ago to attempt to fly from place to place was considered suicide; five years ago it was an adventure; today to many of us it is a very ordinary affair. A few years more and we shall laugh to think of the airplanes of which we are now so proud. We shall shudder at the risks we ran and we shall travel with comfort, speed and safety. Everybody Is Hooverizing. "How things have changed!" said the man as they left the Joneses, where they had been playing cards. "Yes, indeedly," answered his wife. "There was a time, and that not so very long ago, when it would have been bad form to talk of the cost of the food set before you. But now the person who can give you pleasant-tasting food at the least cost is the person most looked up to." "Not only that," said the husband, "but people who won't economize are looked on as something too cheap for words. You heard what they said tonight about the Blanks, who are 'sick and tired of Hooverizing?' I tell you this country is waking up. We have got to feel and act alike these days." "Well, I should hope so," said the wife. "I'd like to know where we would be if the boys over there got 'sick and tired of fighting for us.' The Blanks, indeed!" Danger of Half Truths. Not the violent contest between parts of the truth, but the quiet suppression of half of it, is the formidable evil; there always hope people are forced to listen to both sides; it is when they attend only to one that errors harden into prejudices, and truth itself ceases to have the effect of truth, by being exaggerated into falsehood.—John Stuart Mill.

A QUARTER IS ONE CENT MORE THAN A MARK. THE YANK IS WORTH TWO OF THE HUN; BUT A WAR THRIFT STAMP PUTS OIL IN THE LAMP THAT WILL BURN AFTER VIC- TORY'S WON. Does Denver want a “Boss” or ra- ther does Denver need a Dictator?” ‘Think on these things. Judging from the space given by our exchanges to the coming national con- yention of women’s clubs, there will be a large crowd. The “New Negro” gave a big boost. There is going to be a “business” mess in Denver before long which may stir Denver. The Star is wise to all moves and is preparing to let out some light. 'Nuff safd at this time. Why is it that a certain business man who desires Negroes to patronize him in his business and who claims to be a “Big Race Man,” but who not only gives all “his" business to a white lawyer, but is constantly influencing others to do the same? That is race co-operation with loyalty stabbed in the back. Such race men, deliver the Star from them! The next time please somebody call him “down.” A CALL FOR COLORADO WORKERS FOR THE RED CROSS. A very excellent representation of some of the best colored families of Denyer* attended the classes in the Gauze Rooms of the Museum building, corner of Fourteenth and Sherman. Members of different churches are en- listed. The volunteer spirit is fine ‘The work is of the best, but the mem bers are not what we would like to see. At first the-colored class num- bered about eighteen faithful workers notwithstanding many demands and interruptions. But from now on the needs for wounded American boys will be much greater “over there,” and let every loyal colored American woman come for one afternoon Friday of the week, or send some friend or substi- tute to take her place. The class as- sembles at 1 o'clock on Fridays at the Museum unit for instruction and work. ‘The uniform of white apron and cap can be procured there at present. As we know and regret to say, some of the colored population of America have been tempted and tampered with by Prussian propaganda; but let Denver be freed from such criticism through a loyal and regular interest by the women, as well as the men, to promote the activities and plans of the country, among which there is none more ap- pealing than the work at the Red Cross gauze rooms. Among those who still come and who do excellent work are the following: Mrs. Cora E, Robinson, 1421 Gilpin; Mrs. Goldie Hughes, 522 30th street; Mrs. Nellie Irby, 415 29th street; Mrs. Nellie Lander, 1845 Marion street; irs. E. C. Shipp, 315 Vine street; Mrs. Gullion, formerly of Memphis, ‘Tenn,, and Mrs. Pollard of Denver. _ We could mention other names of the class who seem not to have been able to attend of late, but would rath- er wait till their vacant chairs are filled and the familiar faces bright and smiling, as the busy fingers fold to help make the interminable dressings for the dear soldiers going to the western front. Notice is given that the gauze rooms are closed from the 1st of May for about ten days, but the newspapers will announce the exact day when they open up again. Watch for the announcement and don't forget the colored classes’ special day is Friday, in the afternoon. Do your spring cleaning, etc., in the next ten days, then one and all deter- mine to give at least this one after- noon to show your genuine patriotism at the Red Cross rooms; for acts, not words. prove what we stand for. The Denver Star is backing the Red Cross movement. Let everybody join in and help. DENVER N. A. A. C. P. CONDUCTS SUCCESSFUL MEMBERSHIP DRIVE. The great drive for added members to the local N. A. A. C. P., which opened April 17th, was tentatively closed last Monday night by a most interesting and brillian social function ‘at the Negro Women’s Club Home. It was, from every viewpoint, the great- est meeting in the history of the Den- ver branch. The club home was crowded to its very doors and the ‘spirited but good-natured rivalry be- ‘tween the various drive c.ptains kept the audience up to the keenest pitch of expectancy. The Y. M. C, A. Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. He- wetson P. Watson, was at its best and each member brought forth deserved applause. Bishop Irving P. Johnson Was unable to be present, but sent a splendid message to the association, which was read by Father Brown. The report of the captains showed Dr. Westbrook in the lead, with James Cooper a close second. An interesting phase of this drive is found in the manner in which Jas. Cooper, who, during all his years of useful activity, has refused to address an audience, suddenly blossomed forth as a full- fledged evangelist, preaching the gos- pel of race loyalty, and brought down twenty converts to the N. A. A. C. P. at the first shot. Emmett Williams, the Beau Brummell of the association, brought in a good Hst also, but was slightly eclipsed by Mr. Whittaker. Mrs, Froman, Mrs. Monson and I, GC. McKenzie each helped swell the total. The Self-Improvement Club boosted the cause by sending in six member- ships. Every church in the city and many fraternal and social organiza- tions Were represented at the Monday night meeting. Lawyer Blakemore, Mrs, Mable Chinn Failings and Mad. ame Jessie Carter were the speakers. The next meeting will be held at the club home Tuesday night, May 14th. Every member should be present. ‘The executive committee {s the bust- ness head of the association, but in- vites all members to its meetings and stands open to any suggestions that may be of value. WILL CLARK, AS HOST, SPREADS JOY AT GAY BANQUET—MORRI- SON'S FAMOUS ENTERTAINERS SWEEP CLEAN. It ever Denver had a swell banquet ‘with the accustomed array of toast- makers, it was last Saturday night, when Mr. Wm. Clark spread joy to nearly fifty men at 2104 Arapahoe street. Eyery kind of fowl was pres- ent and cooked to a teasing brown with that “come back” queen's taste. The latest dishes served in the most up-to-the-minute order were abundant and greatly enjoyed. Light refresh- ments, with an abundance of cigars and cigarettqs, were there in profuse- ness. Loganberry, grape juice and Cheyenne raisin juleps took a promi- nent part. That night every man was a toastmaster around a beautiful oval table all decorated and laden down with “Clark” souvenirs. In the center was a huge “birthday cake” surround- ed with American Beauties and flags. The speechmakers of the evening were H, Maxwell, H. A. Cowan, Fred 8, Bur- ton, H. G. David, Edward Plummer, Doctors C. E. Perry, A. D. Stone, P. D. Lee and B, L. Cantey, Dr. T. E. Mc- Clain and Lawyer Geo. G. Ross, Geo. W. Halsey, Wendall Hamlet, ©, T. Jackson, Clarence Holmes, A. H.

Alberta Moore, Adah Clements, Mabel Cole, and Leone Bray, accompanist. Denver will not be satisfied until she hears Vernal Barnett play the Negro melody, “He Rose,” transcribed by J. Rosamond Johnson; while all the peo- ple who know and some to whom Naonfi Brown is unknown, will be tickled to death to hear this young sweet ‘soprano singer. Harry T, Bur- leigh’s “The Glory of the Day Was in Her Face.” When Adah Clements, our new contraltoist, sings “Little Mother of Mine,” by Harry T. Burleigh, every hearer in her presence will be pleased to know what Denver talent can do. Then Leone Bray will greet the audi. ence with that famous popular Negro melody, “Deep River,” transcribed by Coleridge-Taylor, to’ the delight of everyone. One of the most attractive numbers upon the program is our hitherto unheard of lyric soprano. Marguerite Morrison, who will sing so sweetly “Just You,” while ‘another star in our musical horizon is Alberta Moore, with her soft, penetrating voice, will sing that always popular favorite, “Jean,” by Harry Burleigh. All of these ladies are well known to you and they are appearing that night to show you what musical jewels Den- ver possesses. Tomorrow it may be your daughter. The Y. W. C. A. Quartet (single), who have sung to crowded houses in Colorado Springs and white churches in Denver, will sing Negro melodies in the first part of the program; and in order to bring forward additional talent, “The Sleeping Beauty” cantata wherein Bettina Jackson takes the part of the Princess; Mabel Cole, the part of the Prince, assisted by Jennie Le Noir and the chorus, will be pre. sented to the gratification of Denver's severest musical critics.

C. C. YOUNG, Reporter. He Got a Seat. Speaking of street cars reminds one of the latest—the very latest—thing in wording heard on a local traction line. ‘This was sprung on an unsuspecting world the other night—morning, rather —about three o'clock. The springer told about it to his of- fice mates the next morning as fol- lows: “I'm so used to standing up in the street car that I don't know how to ait down any more, actually,” he sald. “I feel more rested standing up than alt- ting down. We always like what we ‘grow accustomed to, of course—sort of force of habit; strong thing, you know, as all our well-known psychologists agree. “The other afternoon I stood up for two miles, and finally a Indy got out, and a motherly looking woman sald to me, ‘Here's a sent,’ and I sald, ‘It's a pretty seat, all right.’ “But that night I started to tell you about—belleve me, boys, if you want to get a seat on a Washington street car go home at three o'clock in the morning.

Kennedy and Thomas Carr, farmers ot Templeton, Ind., came to Indianapolis with three carloads of ‘hogs and cattle, and after waiting all day at the stock yards were told that there was no demand for them, says the Indianapolis News. The price on hogs fell off from $17.69 to §17.10 while they were at the yards and finally they had to sell 12 of the chotcest hogs from one car at $17. They were told that these hogs were too fat. The razor- backs, comparatively speaking, brought $17.10. The cattle could not be sold. After this experience the two went to a stock yards restaurant nearby and ordered steak. It was Tuesday and, therefore, a meatless day. “We can't buy beef or pork,” said the waitress, ‘All we have for you is fish and oysters. Meat is very scarce, you know.” : “Yes, we know,” said Kennedy, as he gave in and bought a substitute. Businessiike and Efficient.

I further protest because such a decision is vicious in principle, unjust in operation in an army of democracy and un-American in suggestion. (Signed) .....

Notwithstanding that there were twelve union orchestras trying to get to play for General Wood of Camp Funston, who was the University Club's guest, yet Prof. Geo. Morrison, assisted by Messrs.

Did you ever see a fish yawn? Richard Elmhirst, an English biologist, tells us that yawning is a common habit of cod, sathe, cobbler, place and various other kinds of fish. From his description, the piscatorial yawn is very much like the human yawn, except that it is done under water. He says: "From numerous observations I am led to think that this action of fishes is a real yawn, and serves the true physiological purpose of a yawn—that is, flushing the brain with blood during periods of sluggishness. The conditions conducive to yawning are a slight increase in temperature, and, I suppose, the accompanying diminution of oxygen."—Popular Science Monthly.

SKIN BEAUTIFIER Church News THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH David E. Over, D.D., Minister, Mrs. Viola Washington Both morning and evening services were well attended Sunday. During the morning hour Rev. Over discussed the subject, "The Marks of True Greatness." This discussion was the source of much inspiration. Text. "Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist; notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." Matt. 11:11. The pastor said: The desire for pre-eminence is widely manifest the desire to achieve power and success; to make the most of oneself and gain pre-eminence must fill the heart of every normal human being; it is a normal human passion; and inasmuch as this desire is so widely prevalent, he exclaimed: Is it right? The point made plain was the right or wrong in aspiring for pre-eminence is seated in motive. Attention was called to the fact that when Jesus told his disciples there had not risen a greater than John the Baptist, he knew all about Moses, Elijah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and others of God's great men; but the mark of John's greatness was shown when asked what and who was he; he declared himself nothing more than "the voice of one crying in the wilderness." The lesson taught that true greatness is the spirit to become as a little child, to become conscious of self as nothing. The sermon preached Sunday evening was from the first Psalm. It was also an instructive and an inspiring discussion. Addition to the church: Mr. D. M. Gwynne, Mrs. Clarinda Anderson, Mr. Dan'l Hodges. Sick: Miss Bertha Dean is reported better. Mrs. Mary Skinner met with the accident of crushing her hand last week. We are glad that Bro. Myers was able to be in the congregation Sunday morning. The funeral service of Mrs. Susie Troutman was held at Zion Church Sunday afternoon. Rev. Over officiated. The bereaved family has the heartfelt sympathy of the community. MT. PLEASANT BAPTIST CHURCH Service every Sunday. Preach at 11:00 a. m. and 8:00 p. m. Sunday School at 1:00 p. m. The revival service closed last Sunday with twelve additional members. Rev. A. E.

Quite a number of Central's members bought Liberty Bonds. We give Central's members much credit for their interest shown in the issues of the day. Our deacons are men worthy of commendation, for they are pushing things to the front. The pastor made a trip to Colorado Springs, Colo., Tuesday, on business for the State work. Mrs. Bass and daughter of Little Rock, Ark., are here visiting relatives for a while. Mrs. Bass is quite talented. Mrs. Matilda Powell of Louisiana is here to stay.

We hope he will recover. 6 MOTHERS' COUNCIL. A Mothers' Council was organized last Saturday night, called "The Mothers of the Boy Scouts of Troop 50," the first colored Mothers' Council in the United States, their object being to stimulate the interest in the movement and help the boys raise funds with which to purchase different necessities that the troop will need. They elected the following officers: Mrs. Lettie Polk, president; Mrs. Ella Gale, secretary, and Mrs. Nancy Sloan, treasurer. After their meeting adjourned the boys gave demonstrations in drilling and first aid. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The members of the checker club have been playing some interesting series within the past two weeks, and will soon be in shape to do some real, effective playing just as soon as they become better rated and really find out their full strength. At the present time Mason is in the lead, but it is doubtful whether that lead could have been still maintained if he had been at the last meet on Tuesday evening and sat before Granberry, who is really a terror. Many players are lined up for next Tuesday night when a regular battle will be fought. In the absence of the Rev. P. J. Price who was to have spoken at the meeting last Sunday afternoon. Dr. Westbrook, who was present, was introduced and spoke on the membership drive of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Of those present more than half of them took their memberships in the organization. The Glee Club rendered music at the meeting of the N. A. A. C. P., which was held at the Colored Women's Club Home, Monday evening, and was well received by the large number present. The next public appearance of the club will be at the Zion Baptist Church on Sunday evening of the 12th inst. An orchestra is now being formed in connection with the club, which will be under the direction of Mr. Gatewood and Mr. Wm. H. Graham the famous composer. The Rev. John Vander Meulen, pastor of the Boulevard Congregational church, will be the speaker at the meeting next Sunday afternoon. His subject will be "On the Square." The meeting will begin at four o'clock, and will last one hour. All will be welcome. MEETINGS OF THE POND LILY ART CLUB FOR THE MONTH OF MAY. May 2nd—Mrs. J. J.

W. hall on the evening of the 19th went "over the top" with a bang; $120 was cleared. All honor to Mr. James McMeans, Ja, a new addition to Allen's A. M. E. church, for the above successful entertainment. Mr. McMeans got the idea that his church needed a furnace. He passed his idea along to Miss Virgil Gaskin, who suggested the camouflage carnival "unch" as a means to this end. They got together, did Miss Gaskin and Mr. McMeans, and vowed to organize the young people of the church into an improvement club. So the idea was born. A delicious luncheon served at the home of Mrs. S. L. Willis served to effect the organization of the proposed club, who vowed from the first to raise enough money to have a furnace in the basement of the The carnival was indeed a unique affair. An admission of 25 cents was charged, and as a curtain-raiser an up-to-the-minute minstrel was provided by Mr. Sam DeTresvant. W. M. Stanley, Hugh Hopkins, Will Smith and Miss Bulia Baker and others. In the hall five army tents, representing as many booths, were erected by courtesy of Corporal Long of Fort Russell—who, by the way, is a master electrician and personal clerk to the commandant at Fort Russell, a quite unusual position to be held by a race man. Corporal Long rendered valiant professional service to the carnival committee—without compensation. We thank the corporal from the depths of our heart. Delicious lunches served a la cafeteria, home-made candy and orangeade, ice creams and confetti were some of the wares served at this big drive. Booths—"for men only"—"the end of a perfect day"—"the Abyssinian pig"—"Thelma, the Gypsy Fortune-Telling Queen," and "The Wyoming Special," held forth to the delight of the 300 attendants, who screamed for four hours with delight. One leading feature of the great church carnival was the large attendance of white friends of members of the church. At least 100 were present and entered into the fun with as much zest and joyousness as their colored friends. Mr. McMeans alone sold 82 tickets to his white friends. Miss Vilgil Gaskin, the oldest daughter of J. C. Gaskin, who enjoys the unique distinction of being the only colored stenographer actually employed by a white professional man in the state, is the estimable president of this club, and Mrs. S. M. Cave is secretary, and Miss Daisy Thompson is treasurer. The following persons helped put the carnival over the top: E.WILLIS BRADLEY THE ONLY DRAMATIC TENOR THE RACE HAS PRODUCED, WHO IS PLACED BY THE GREAT CRITICS IN THE CLASS WITH CARUSO WILL SING AT Mesdames Vrills, Randall, Witt, Wakier, Nesbitt, DwSesw, Brown, Robinette Wilson, Smith, Cave, and Misses Moss by, Thompson, Gaskin and Gaskin, Jefferson, Baker; and S.

They come to our Country's call; they come as loyal men; they come to crush, the beast must fall, that force from Ber-er-lin. They are for victory, and all bent to fight for it in France, all rent. So watch our black Sammies. 2. They love their Country and her might. They go to France under the Stars and Stripes. They will cross the water deep; some in France will always sleep. So let us treat them as the rest, for you and I they do their best—our black Sammies. 3. They leave their happy home, all their loved ones left to mourn; they freely go to foreign land to fight the force of brutish man. Great joy it will be for you and me when they will help win liberty—our black Sammies. As they pass the President stand, patriotic music from their band, marching to the European land, hunting the kaiser, the haughty man, they will do as they have done with might and right to face the Hun—our black Sammies.

The biggest demonstration among our people for years was had on Thursday night at Payne chapel, when her service flag with eighteen stars was dedicated and raised. The flag was presented by Mrs. M. Goddard, a white friend. The main address of the evening, on "The Negro Soldier," was a masterpiece of oratory and information. The Rev. John Adams of Pueblo was the eloquent speaker. Judge G. W. Schaeffer of the district court made a thrilling response and dedicated the flag. Rev. A. Wayman Ward made the speech of acceptance in behalf of the church. A massive chorus of school children sang during the evening. The boys on the honor roll are: William B. Davis, Lloyd Davis, George Rollins, Morris Hayden, Henry I. Davis, Earl Duncan, Walter Handy, Clyde Jones, Alonzo Dixon, Byron Reed, Henry Mason, Charles Hayden, Fleming Hancock, Albert Fisher, Wm. Berry, Oscar Peck, DeWitt Jenkins and Eugene Marshall.

All persons having claims against said estate are hereby notified to present them for adjustment to the county court of the City and County of Denver. Colorado on the 5th day of May, 1918. Wm. and Odile Sprague. Executors. Date first published, March 30, 1918 Date last published, April 27, 1918. Geo. G. Ross, Atty. for Estate OWE THEIR LIVES TO WOMAN How Mrs. John Hays Hammond Won Pardons From Grim Old "Oom Paul" Kruger. John Hays Hammond, an American citizen, was in prison, under sentence of death. He had been tried and convicted of high treason to the South African Republic. One of four leaders of the reform movement in the Transvaal, he was charged with complicity in the famous Jameson raid, found guilty, and sentenced to die. Only one person lived in the Transvaal with sufficient power to set aside the death sentence passed upon the man who is known today as the greatest mining engineer in the United States. This was Oom Paul Kruger, then president of the South African Republic. He was an old man—narrow, bigoted and possessed of an intense hatred for the enger, grasping strangers who he believed had sought his country only to despoil it. John Hays Hammond was among the most enterprising and, consequently, one of the most disliked, of the foreign residents of the Transvaal. For years he had been employed as an engineer; first by Barney Barnato, the English mining operator, and later by Cecil Rhodes, to locate diamonds in Oom Paul's country. Oom Paul disliked him. He disliked all men who brought swarms of eager reckless adventurers into his country. And he made life as difficult for them as he could. In 1895 the world was startled by the news that a British adventurer, Doctor Jameson, had led a raiding party of armed men into the Transvaal. The raid failed. John Hays Hammond was among those arrested on the accusation of having instigated Jameson's attack on the South African Republic. He was found guilty and sentenced to die. But the brave, cool-headed wife of the eminent American mining engineer did not intend that anything disagreeable should happen to her husband. Ever since their marriage, in 1880, Mrs. John Hays Hammond had followed the fortunes of her young engineer, no matter where they took him. But when they threw him into jail under a death sentence, she decided that it was time for her to interfere. She made up her mind to see Oom Paul Kruger and tell him that she had come to save him from the crime of putting an innocent man to death. It was not easy to see President Kruger, but Mrs. Hammond proved equal to the task. It was not easy to convince a man who harbored a deep, silent contempt for women, that a woman was worth listening to; but Mrs. Hammond was successful. Before she left his office, Mr. Kruger had promised to spare her husband's life. The president of the Transvaal republic kept his word to Natalie Hammond. Her husband's sentence was commuted to imprisonment for 15 years and later on, he was freed on payment of a fine of $125,000, and Mrs. Hammond had the extreme happiness of knowing that through her intercession, not only her husband's life but the lives of the men arrested with him had been saved. MADE FOR LOYALTY MADE FOR LOYALTY Good Effect of Citizens' Battle With the Snow. Gave Slacker an Opportunity to See Himself as Others See Him—Also Helped Realization of What War Means. (By GEORGE E. BOWEN, of the Vignantes.) It took a lot of backache and blisters and frostbite to clear this snow-bound western world of drifted obstruction, making it safe for travel, secure for the daily affairs of life. Those two great January storms created a desperate situation—one that had to be met and overcome. Everybody suddenly had the same idea—a strong shovel, a willing heart and a cheerful disposition. There was nothing else to do. • We had to be free. And we were. Every patriot in the middle west who had a shovel and a backbone got out and used them. Lot lines didn't count, for we were fighting a common enemy. The shovelling spirit thrilled us, en masse—no one stopped to be saluted or introduced—no one stopped to theorize—no one claimed exemption or superiority. We just asserted our right of way—and dug it. So, here is freedom—to go or come. It was a great lesson in united action, a convincing example of the solidarity of human interest, a reassuring experience in loyalty to the cause of common welfare. It was an American demonstration. The slacker was thoroughly unslacked when he saw his neighbor shovelling off his walk. It was a worth-while storm. Men met each other in these neighborhood trenches with a new expression in their eyes—a new feeling in their hearts. Over the white-blocked barricades of snow, head high and miles in length, they were seeing those reddened, sand-bagged walls in Belgium. Seeing loyal bayonets shoveling humanity's way to freedom through storm-crushed Flanders. Seeing braver patriots than themselves struggling manfully against Alpine avalanches of steel and blizzards of fire, that the home-paths of mankind be not obstructed forever by any brutal drifts of hate or selfishness. The roar of the Arctic terror these neighbors knew when the storm broke upon their unpreparedness was as nothing to the scream of shells and the thunder of artillery they are hearing now in those trenches across the sea—and in their souls. They have realized in a small, bloodless way the meaning of war—war that is a perpetual offensive storm, instead of an occasional one in January. When men meet in these snow trenches of the West, there's only one comment: "We've got to help them win." And they mean it—as they meant every shovelful of snow they threw out of their paths of peace and contentment. Some great blessings come thickly disguised. Big Storm Recalled. Just thirty years ago in January, the worst storm in the history of the United States weather bureau raged over the central West, taking a toll of more than 200 lives and killing thousands of farm animals. "Old-timers asserted there had been a storm of equal, if not worse proportions, in 1880, but there are no definite records on the first storm, and it is known to have been more locally confined than the "great storm of '88." The storm originated in Nebraska and extended to central Iowa and Wisconsin eastward and to the Montana line on the west. The temperature was about freezing when the storm started, but by the next morning it had dropped to 54 degrees below zero in South Dakota. Grand Forks, N. D., reported a temperature of 52 degrees below, while at Sioux City, In., it was 28 below. Near Mitchell, S. D., a farmer and his son were unable to reach the house five rods distant before the boy was frozen to death. Reserve Stock of Patience. The patience man expends in bearing his little trials of his daily life nature stores for him as a wondrous reserve in a crisis of life.—W. G. Jordan. Exact Truth. Examine your words well, and you will find that, even when you have no motive to be false, it is a very hard thing to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings—much harder than to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth—George Elliot.
