The main object of this league is to promote the economic betterment of the Colored race. It has no connection with an outside organization, and the scope of its work will be purely local, such as the betterment of housing conditions, promotion of sane racial propaganda, operation of an employment agency to make the 'floater' a producer and to educate the Negro race as its development of the South. "We have an advisory committee closely co-operating and advising with the league's officers; and while the work has not been under way long enough to be able to point out definite accomplishments, we are very hopeful as to the ultimate outcome."

(By Special Service) London, May, 1.—Horatio Bottomley prints in John Bull an open letter to John W. Davis, the American Ambassador, drawing attention to the lynchings of Negroes in America, and sayin't: "From time to time the high souled Senate of the United States and its still-higher-souled newspapers and not a small portion of its peerless people have busied themselves with a moral lecture to this country on its internal affairs, accompanied by numerous admonitions and threats," says the letter. "I suggest that your excellency do everything in your power to induce your noble and unselfish compatriots to put an end within their own borders to the infamies to which I have alluded." Scott Asks For National Guards Former Assistant to Secretary Baker Wants Severe Battalion Organized in Washington. Washington, April 15.—The recent order of the war department authorizing the organization of Negro militiamen in the several states, has prompted the Hon. Emmett J. Scott to write to Secretary of War Baker on the question in the course of which he says: "The Negro population of the district of Columbia constitutes about one third of the entire population. In like proportion it pays taxes. Why can it not be represented, the inquiry is made, in like proportion in any military organization formed for the protection of Columbia? Does thenew law authorizing the new National Guard state that certain units must be white?" There are now but two white companies, the districts quota falls short by four companies. There are sufficiently regularly enlisted men in the Second separate battalion can muster two companies of one hundred each within two weeks and within three months, it can muster a full battalion, if permitted.

New York, May 14.—The national association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, has sent the following statement to its 320 branches in forty-two states and requests the colored press of the country to give full publicity to the matter in order that all colored ex-service men may be informed of the educational opportunities which open to them through the Young Men's Christian Association service. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People believes that more publicity should be given to the fact that ex-service men who may be unable to afford the kind of education they would like to have can secure an education without expense if themselves by taking advantage of scholarships provided for their benefit by the Young Men's Christian Association. This scholarship plan has been in effect since November 1, 1919, and is financed by the unexpended balance of funds raised for educational work in the war work campaign. This balance amounts to $5,000,000. Two million dollars has been appropriated for use in 1920. The apportionment for each state and locality is based upon two cents per capita of population, white and colored. For the administration of this fund the country has been divided into five regions, with state committees in each state and local committees in the local communities. Committees are composed of representatives of both races. Approximately 70,000 scholarships for both races are available for deserving applicants. Ex-service men, it is said, may have opportunity for instruction in Y. M. C. A. schools, but also free scholarships are offered in other approved schools of similar grade in technical schools, colleges and universities. Correspondence courses in the Extension division in Y. M. C. A. schools are offered applicants unable to attend school or college. Ex-service men having an honorable discharge from the United States Military or Naval service, who are qualified to enter the course desired, may apply to their local "Y" in his community, nor an educational service committee of his stale.

There was much excitement at the general conference Tuesday morning when David G. Downey, chairman of the committee on espionacy, read the report of the committee which provided for the appointment of two Negro bishop There was not a dissenting voice. W. W. Lucas of Mississippi and J. Garland Penn of Washington seconded the report. While George Elliott of Detroit and R. I. Chase of Wisconsin, both white seconded the motion for adoption. With the adoption of the report the conference arose en masse and implained long and tumultously. The Doxology and Mine Eyes have Seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord were sung. A canvass among the delegates revealed the fact that Drs. R. E. Jones, J. W. Bowen and C. A. Tindley are the most favored candidates for the bishopic Dr. Hughes of the New Orleans area and Dr. Clair of Washington, D. C., are also mentioned. Dr. Jones is the editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate and is one of the two Negro members on the unification committee. Dr. Bowen is vicepresident of Gammon Theological seminary Atlanta, Ga., and received a heavy vote for bishop four years ago. Dr. Hughes has been field secretary of the board of home missions and had charge of a group of colored conferences in the New Orleans area during the centenary Dr. Clair has been one of the leading ministers of Washington D. C. for some years. Dr. Tindley the great orator who has been attracting enomous crowds since his arrival here is also a likely candidate, although some delegates believe his wonderful work as a pastor in Philadelphia is more valuable than he would be able to do as a bishop. About 800 persons heard Rev. C. A. Tindley of Philadelphia, speak in the West high andortium, Wednesday night under the auspices of the Des Moines branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. His subject was, "Educate," and from each letter in that word he took a topic that concerned the education and advancement of the Negro, E for Enter, D for Develope, U for Union, C for Compete, A for Ability, T for Trust and E for Endurance were the subjects and which were the requirements for the colored man's education, he said. In addition to Dr. Tindley's address numbers were given by local talent which included, Joburness Redman Kebo soprano, Carrol Curley, soprano, Malcom Griffith, pianist. Invocation was given by Rev.

We talk about women putting themselves in men's places, but when it comes to church and Sunday school the men seem to think they have no place.
