South African Strike
40,000 GOLD MINE WORKERS OUT
NATIVES HAVE CHANGED; SMUTS.
Pretoria, South Africa, Feb. 29.—fietween 40,000 and 50,000 naires are on strike in the Witwatstrand gold mine fields, causing Lieutenant-General Christian Smuta and other officials of th Union Government a lot of sleepless nights. The naires have organized picketing and are taking effective steps to enforce their demands. A feeling that they are at least entitled to the benefits of their native land is running high among them so much that General Smuta remarked in a speech here today that "a tremendous change was coming over South Africa." The natives in hearty accord with this latter statement of the case. They evince a determination that a tremendous change must come over South Africa, a change in which their right to walk every street own land everywhere and everywhere in their ancestral home shall not be denied them by the government of South Africa or any other government for that matter, so far as they are concerned. This new temper on the part of the natives has proven cause for a great deal of concern by the union officials who have been accused of oppressive
Indianapolis, Ind., March 4.—F. B. Ransom, general manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker-Mfg. Co., was appointed on the Republican state platform committee to represent the Colored people of the state of Indiana. This is the first recognition given a race man in this capacity in the history of the state. Mr. Ransom is greatly in demand as a public speaker.
RALPH W. TYLER ACCEPTS NEW
POSITION
Cleveland, O., Feb. 26—Ralph W. Tyler, assumed the management of the American Office of the Economic News Exchange, with offices in the Superior building of this city. This news bureau serves daily newspapers throughout the country with foreign and home news service. Mr. Tyler however, will continue to hold down the position of managing editor of the Cleveland Advocate, in which he is interested.
GENERAL PERSHING VISITS
HAMPTON INSTITUTE
Hampton, Va., Feb. 26.—Gen. Pershing, on his recent visit to Hampton Institute, spoke to the workers and students in Ogden hall on the service of colored soldiers.
He said, "throughout the Spanish-American War, I served with the 10th United states Cavalry, composed of colored troops. There was no regiment whose courage fortitude and bravery we were prouder of than we were of those characteristics in the Tenth Cavalry. Everyone i nthat regiment could be absolutely depended upon.
The colored people should be j proud of their record not only in the Spanish-American War, but also in the Great War.

treatment of the natives. In some instances denying them the right to occupy their own ancestral lands and by a system of legislation keeping them in an actual state of peonage. Some month ago a delegation of African chiefs went to London and complained to King George of the treatment accorded them and their people under the Union government of South Africa.
In a speech here today, Lieutenant-General Christian Smuts, British member of the League of Nations Commission, referred to native troubles in the Witwatsrtrand gold mine fields, which he characterized as dangerous.
"Between 30,000 and 40,000 blacks are striking, General Smuts said, and, by means of organized picketing, are doing things of which he would have considered them incapable. The speaker declared he saw signs that a tremendous change was coming over South Africa.
"The nonsense which the whites have been talking of republics of blood and tears will be put into practice by the natives," General Smuts said, "and, too late, it will be found that this idle talk has put these mischievous ideas into the heads of the natives."
Mercy Hospital Superintendent Says Field is Wide Open
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 26.—The refusal of the War Department to give the colored nurse a chance to go overseas with the troops gave them a newer and better chance in the civilian field at home according to Miss Elizabeth A. Newman, superintendent of nurses at Mercy hospital this year. (Q.) The colored laborer profited during the war by the labor shortage so did the colored nurse gain a foothold in the industrial plants, schools, hospitals and other social service institutions, and even families where she was not known before.
High school graduates who have completed a course in professional nursing can now select a carrer in public health service, private nursing, social service, sanitation, anesthetics, office work and school positions, according to Miss Newman, and all of these positions pay higher salaries than any other places open to young women.

St. Louis G. O. P. Gives Race Places
St. Louis, Mo., March 1.—The Republicans here have shown a disposition to recognize the Colored voters in this district, by selecting Rev. S. A. Moosely as one of the district delegates to the Republican National Convention. This is the first time in the history of the party that the race has been given this honor—a voting representation. Some weeks ago the Citizens' Liberty League, composed of Colored voters, began an agitation for representation, and, headed by S. W. Lloyd, of the K. of P.'s, made a determined fight for it. The agitation for this representation by the race has been crowned with success. Not only has Rev. Moosely been chosen as district delegate, but another Colored man, Price McGinniss, has been selected as an alternate. St. Louis Colored voters stood pat for a voting representation and got both a delegate and alternate.
ALL DARKER RACES AFFECTED
Jackson, Miss., Feb.26.—Recent ruling of the attorney general that only Caucasians are eligible under the state constitution to attend white schools, East Indians, must go to colored schools or stay at home. Some whites are wondering how this will turn out.

Here is another chance for our people to makea record. Everyone has heard of the splendid record our people made in housing our student volunteers.
For the month of May there will be about 125 of our delegates here to attend the general convention of the M. E. church. Let us open our homes to these people; who will be glad to pay $1 each per day for room. Each church will have a lady chairman who will have charge of securing and listing your rooms.—General chairman, E. D. Kaufmann.

The members and friends of Bethel A, M. E, church are planning to do things here Sunday, as it will be the quarterly meeting scene.

But everyone knows that its colder across the pond than it is over here and they better come over and learn how to do things. For a number of quarters Davenport has been in the lead and will remain first. Everyone out and help boost Davenport over the top.

No doubt that there will be a good attendance, however, the young men some of whom were recently converted in the meetings help by Rev. Jeltz and another man. There will be room for all observed seats are now on sale. A hint to the wise is sufficient. You'd better buy your reserve ticket and your seat will then be already ordered and you won't have to work about getting a seat when the last minute comes.
