Thousands of petitions have been sent to congressmen urging the United States to protest the French occupation of Germans with African troops. Secretary of State Colby has made the charge that the Germans are already reviving their dirty pre-war attempt to influence American public opinion. They are collecting money-on the pretense that the black troops are attacking German women and children when the French, English and even the German papers stated that these stories were lies. American Legion men are praising Col. F. W. Galbraith, commander of the Legion because of his ordering Edmund Von Maeh a German propagandist from his office here when the latter tried to persuade him to speak at a protest meeting to be held in New York. Representative Britten who comes from a German Illinois district is said to have introduced a resolution asking France to withdraw the troops. The Associated Negro Press is understood to have asked him for a statement on his attitude in the letter. Philadelphia, Feb. 10.—A six-hour battle early today between a Negro, who had shot and killed a woman in the house where he was living and nearly a hundred policemen and firemen resulted in the capture of the man, mortally wounded, and the injuring of four policemen. Pistols, axes, high-pressure fire hose, sulphur candles and other chemicals were used against the Negro, who had barricaded himself in the house. The Negro, who was known as William Dresen, "Alabama Joe" and by other names, shot Grace Robinson, a Negress, and threw her body out of the house. A Negro policeman attempted to arrest him and he was shot in the leg. Reserves were sent for, and when they attempted to break into the house the Negro appeared with two pistols and fired rapidly, wounding another policeman in the head. Dresen managed to barricade the doors and the police called upon the fire department for assistance.

W. Wallace ..... 1.50 (By The Associated Negro Press.) New York, Feb. 24.—In a recent address here, Dean Kelly Miller of the Junior College of Howard University, D. C., predictor that within six years there will be Negro representatives from New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago in congress. This will be one of the political results of the migration of some 600,000 Negroes from the south during the last decade. He read census statistics showing the Negro population in New York to be 175,000, in Philadelphia 134,000, in Washington and Chicago 109,000 each. "From these concentrations there will develop a political self consciousness," he added. You will find that these communities will be sending representatives to city councils and state legislatures. After a while they will send representatives to the congress of the United States. It is safe to predict that within four or six years there will be a Negro congressman from New York City, one from Philadelphia and one from Chicago. The population is sufficiently large to come within requirements of congressman from New York City, one from Philadelphia and one from Chicago. The population is sufficiently large to come within requirements of congress districts." high-pressure hose was kept in operation, and every time the Negro appeared at a window he was driven back by the rush of water. The besiegers then resorted to several more shots. Two other policemen were injured. been were injured but not before he managed to fire strategy and procured sulphur candles and other chemicals from a hospital to drive him out. The Negro however, kept all windows open and this mode of attack failed. Finally Richard Anderson, a Negro member of the police vice squad managed to get into the house unseen by the barricaded man and the two met at a stairway. There was a fusillade of shots and "Alabama Joe" tumbled to the bottom of the house. Anderson was not hurt. Six policemen seized the wounded Negro and an examination at the hospital showed he had been shot six times. It is believed he received some of the wounds before Anderson fired at him. During the siege the police discovered that two women and a fourteen year old boy were on the third floor of the house. While the police kept the Negro away from the windows by a barrage of shots, firemen ran a ladder to the third floor, permitting the three to descend. One of the women was a sister of the murdered woman. Coming down the ladder the woman said they could see "Alabama Joe" on the second floor and he could have shot them if he wanted to. Civil Rights Bill before New Jersey Legislature (By The Associated Negro Press.) Jersey City, N.J., Feb. 24.—Representative W. G. Alexander of East Orange, who has introduced a strong civil rights bill before the legislature, is having the same bitterly opposed by the white hotel owners and managers of the state. The bill, as presented, prevents discrimination in hotels, restaurants and other public places in the state of New Jersey. It has the backing of all the colored people of the state, and a large number of broad minded whites, and with the proper public sentiment, has a chance to be passed. It is somewhat similar to bills passed in New York and Illinois, and to the one that was up before the Ohio legislature last term, and which will be introduced by Representative Henry Davis again. The hotel managers of Atlantic City, where thousands of the leading colored people of the nation go every year, amply able to enjoy the best accommodations, are most bitterly opposed to the passage. Wilson Again At Theatre Washington, D. C., Feb. 16.—President Wilson, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and her brother, John R. Boling, saw "Apple Blossom" at the National Theatre tonight. The President reached the theatre early and walked into his box unassisted, except for the walking stick which he uses. As he left the box after the performance and proceeded to his automobile he received an ovation by the audience. The Hub of U. S. A. Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 17. Less than 300 yards west of the Monroe County line in Owen county, the center of the population of the United States under the 1920 census has been located on John E. Herrin's farm of sixty acres. The owner of the farm, 66 years old, lives on the farm with his wife. The man who has had notoriety suddenly thrust upon him by Uncle Sam's census experts seems greatly surprised. The new home of the hub of the country is eight miles due west of this city, where it was located in 1910. Boston To Have Negro Nine Boston, Mass., Feb. 18.—President Andy Lawson of the Continental Baseball Association, announced tonight that the Boston franchise had been awarded to Geo. F. Day and Lincoln G. Pope. They would have a Negro team, he said, and pending the building of grounds the club would play on the Everett high school field. The Knoxville Giants, playing at Brooklyn, will be a second Negro club in the league, Lawson announced. Striving to Present His Art Rather Than Himself to Public Negro Says New York, Feb. 19.—Prompted by the discussion as to whether or not the Negro star appearing in "The Emperor Jones" at the Princess theatre would be invited to the Drama League's dinner as one of the ten men who have served the theatre best in the last year. Chas. Gilpin yesterday gave out the following statement: "I want my friends to remember that I am honestly striving to present my art rather than myself to the public, and in this endeavor I have received the greatest encouragement and courtesy. I have been treated both by the press and the public, with a consideration which greatly transcends any consideration which I could possibly deserve. Thus you see I have no right to pose as an object for compassion. "Against those who do not care to sit in the same dining room with me I have no complaint. This only I will say: Thus far in the world's history no race or profession has ever been given relative rank and none has ever been permanently prevented from winning of equality rating for itself. "Real people everywhere, without regard to color or estate, realize that "Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act your part; there all the honor lies." Paris, Feb. 16.—The American Graves Registration Service expressed itself today is opposed to the selection at present of the body of an unidentified soldier from the American war dead in France for removal with honors in the United States, should Congress enact legislation to this end. The reason is the constant reduction in the number of the unidentified Americans and the hope of the eventual identification of almost all of them through teeth charts which are being sent to Washington and compared with the records. Hundreds of bodies already have thus been identified, it was explained, and the officers of the service here feel that the time is not yet ripe for the selection of the unknown hero to be honored. Death Of Negro Settles Country's Row With State Vicksburgh, Miss., Feb. 21.—Death at the county jail today of R. T. Goldsby, Negro convict, ended an unusual conflict between state and county officials as to which would have charge of him. He twice escaped from the state penitentiary after having been sentenced on conviction of having received stolen goods. Both times the county paid to bring him back and last time refused to surrender him to the state on the ground he would not be "safe" in the penitentiary. Des Moines man Chosen Sec. of Agriculture Dep. St. Augustine, Fla., Feb. 22.—President-elect Harding completed his cabinet late today by virtual selection of Edwin Denby of Detroit, Mich., as secretary of the navy. Hon: Henry C. Wallace of Des Moines, Iowa, editor of the Wallace Farm papers has been chosen secretary of the department of agriculture. The new cabinet as selected by the President-elect Harding will be: Secretary of State—Charles Evans Hughes, New York. Secretary of the Treasury—Andrew Mellon of Pennsylvania. Secretary of War—John W. Weeks of Massachusetts. Attorney General — Harry M. Daugherty, of Ohio. Postmaster General — Will H. Hays of Indiana. Secretary of the Navy—Edwin Denby of Michigan. Secretary of the Interior—A. B. Fall of New Mexico. Secretary of Agriculture—Henry Wallace of Iowa. Secretary of Commerce—Herbert Hoover of California. Secretary of Labor—James J. Davis of Pennsylvania. Bill Board, Features Colored Proformers (By The Associated Negro Press.) New York, Feb. 24.—The growing importance of the colored actor in both the dramatic and vaudeville field is attested by the fact that the Bill Board, the leading American publication devoted to the amusement field, has opened a department devoted to news affecting colored performers. This feature page is edited by J. A. Jackson late of the daily New York Globe, and is attracting wide attention—among both white and colored actors, and theater managers. Mr. Jackson who sees great possibilities in this recognition on the part of the Bill Board, brings to the work ability of a high character. Widely traveled, a man of large acquaintance, with an intimate knowledge of the stage, as well as being one of the really capable writers of the race, from now on the ability of the colored thespian is certain to be fittingly portrayed. Mr. Jackson is now on a 4,000 mile trip during which he is looking over the field in the eastern and mid western states. Southern Papers Decry Methods of K.K.K. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Dallas, Texas, Feb. 24. The entire nation has become interested in the courageous and straightfordward manner in which the newspapers of the south, despite threats and warnings, are fighting the existence and methods of the Klux. In this state the well-known Dallas Express and the Houston Informer, both members of The Associated Negro Press, have been most outspoken, and have in consequence received threatening anonymous letters signed only by the "Klux." Nevertheless, these papers continue to decry the un-American methods of Klux procedure, and are being commended not only by colored people, but by fair-minded whites as well. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 24.—Indianapolis has gone on record as having "something under the sun." A jury of twelve colored women took twelve minutes to decide that Daniel Holt was entitled to damages from Mr. and Mrs. Fife for crashing into his wagon with their automobile. The jury decided that the whole thing was an accident. Mrs. Fleming Issues Call For Political Workers of Nation To Meet.

Kansas Industrial Institute Entislature on L Never in the history of the state of Kansas had the entire legislature adjourned to visit any institution. Five hundred people composed of the entire membership of the house, and senate members of the state's two chambers, daughters, led by Governor Henry J. Allen came to the colored institute for the celebration of Lincoln's birthday. The new law-makers were met at the state house by members of the Chamber of Commerce, the city who have been deeply interested in the progress of the institution. Rep. Minnie Grinstead of Liberal, the first woman representative of the state, spoke on "How Lincoln's memory persevered in the face of institutional." She gave a most remarkable address and urged her fellow lawmakers to join her in the growth of this useful institution, and seeing that sufficient appropriation be made. She also pointed out that the people loved in speaking of the "Survival of the Useful." Senator A. Dockings of Manhattan and a great friend of the colored people, delivered a most strong address on Lincoln and the colored race and the duty of Kansas in seeing to it that the people would give the race every opportunity that Lincoln would have given. Senator Chas. E. Snyder of Leavenworth, spoke in behalf of the colored people and the deep interest he had in them in the colored institution than any other institution in the state. The institution seeks an appropriation this year of a quarter Imp To Our Subscriber Readers of "The By Price Five Cents NET g Issues Call cal Workers n To Meet. Illinois Legilature Presents Protection Resolution (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Feb. 24.—Representative Adelbert, Roberts has presented a resolution to the Illinois legislature calling upon the members of Congress from Illinois to assist in the passage of House Bill 14097, having as its object and purpose the assurance to persons within the jurisdiction of every state the equal protection of the laws and to punish the crime of lynching. Representative Roberts has also prepared for presentation a bill to punish persons, for the destruction of property and inflicting injury to persons, by means of any explosive, bomb, dynamite or other deadly instrument or implement. This bill aims to alleviate the condition brought about by the indiscriminate bombing of property in Chicago within the last two years or more. Recently the bombings have become so extensive, affecting whites as well as colored, and no one is over caught or punished, that the daily newspapers, and all the various departments of government are denouncing the outrages and seeking the criminals and potential murderers. al & Educational certains the Legincoln's Birthday of a million dollars, a part of which to go for improvements, new hospital, boys dormitory, central heating plant, wing to boys trade building, teachers engage and improve the facilities of the school, more hardly any question about the entire amount being given, Governor Henry J.

A hundred years hence, other disciples of Washington will celebrate his birth, with no less of sincere admiration than we who now commemorate it. When they shall meet, as we now meet, to do themselves and him that honor, so surely as they shall see the blue summits of his native mountains rise in the horizon, so surely as they behold the river on whose banks he lived, and on whose banks he rests, still flowing on toward the sea, so surely may they see, as we now see, the flag of the union floating on the top of the capitol; and they, as now may the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this our own country—Daniel Webster.

It was not until three years later that advertisements were inserted inviting designs from American artists. An effort was made to secure the funds by popular subscription and by 1847 $87,000 was in hand and preparation for construction was begun. Congress, by resolution, granted a site on the monument, the stone was laid on the Fourth of July, 1848, in the presence of the executive legislative and judicial branches of the government, foreign ministers and officers and a vast course of citizens from all parts of the union. The work of erection progressed steadily until 1854, when the shaft had reached a height of 156 feet and had cost $300,000. The treasury of the society now being exhausted, a memorial was presented to Congress asking it to take action in the matter. Politics in the government prevented a ready response and it was not until 1859 that the society was given a formal charter. The Washington monument was finally finished in the winter of 1884-85, and it was decided to dedicate it upon the anniversary of the birth of the man who had been chosen, frequently, on February 22, 1885, there were impressive ceremonies at the national capital, when the monument was turned over to the nation. The formal presentation of the monument was made at the base of the grand obelisk, but owing to the raw, cold weather that existed the dedication ceremonies proper took place in the hall of the House of Representatives.

If the other fellow like, let's get together and go SEE him, ourselves and as soon as we see our offer of rose of summer. in for the advancement of the colored input qualified colored people in good position of homes, help the sheep to keep out gets in the ditch. NOTES. Matrimony is like a pond in which men go fishing, the one with the largest bait catches the largest fish but, women like greedy trout sometime get a hook with nothing on it. Some association should immune the stage of the Black-Faced-Comedian and start a movement showing the refined part of the Negro. I believe that gripping dramas of human life depicting the better side would be better for our children and at the same time afford the recreation claimed to be gotten from the rotten damnable-Barrel-House Comedian stuff. The next lesson for the colored man to learn in business is in order to grow he must COMPETE, that it is better to make a small profit off many people than to try to make a big profit off a few people. The real growth is in the volume of business. The old fashioned lady who used to boast that she made her petticoats can now boast that she has a daughter that doesn't use any. That fellow who is always talking about boys and girls who finish schools having to do ordinary work should go into some clean business and employ some of them or shut up! A fool feels complimented when you tell him that he is "hard-headed" but, he would get very sour if you would tell him that he is a "bone head." When a woman tells another woman how young she looks the former always smiles in a peculiar way that the one being complimented knows that she isn't being complimented at all, but lied to. It's so easy to talk, that everybody talks. It is so hard to do, that few are doing. To do you must know. How about that fellow that is qualified and should know yet when it comes to applying his knowledge in leadership you might as well say to the people 'sh-o-o-o-o.' We are wondering whether we have to say we haven't any leaders in Des Moines. We have men and women here that say that we want a man's chance. Well, the rubbing of silk and steel together usually produces electricity and the rubbing is in procession. What next? There is a good lesson to be learned by looking at a picture or the staging of a drama that shows how the greater stars or characters in the play comes from among the common and most unrefined. The writer that described a certain nation as a bucket partly filled with crabs evidently must have known what he was talking about as judged by the attitude some styled first class colored people looks at others of their race of the same calibre. Don't we hate to see our brother get ahead? I can't see where there is so much to be gained by these so-called fearless editorials—quarrel among ourselves. If the other fellow does something to us that we do not like, let's get together and go SEE him. What is the use of puffing up among ourselves and as soon as we see our offender's face we start smiling like the last rose of summer. Some association for the advancement of the colored man should make it its business to help put qualified colored people in good positions, advocate and encourage the owning of homes, help the sheep to keep out f the ditch as well as help him when he gets in the ditch.

The Dames will meet Thursday, Feb. 25 at the home of Mrs. Fannie Green—Hazel Alexander—Sioux City COMMUNITY ADVANCEMENT CLUB (By Evelyn Strattersford.) Beyond the expectations of some and the respect of many comes forth an organization by name "Community Advancement Club of Sioux City." An example an unconservative, good time organization of a clique of try-to-be's in Sioux City. The writer has seen many clubs of this name who have in general lived up to its title in the east and west and also the north but never has she witnessed any changes in its shape. If the continuance of such an organization follows and more of its kind under other names are created, Sioux City will be a most undesirable place for principled people to locate. But be sure it is quite unbecoming for this "intellectual" people to tolerate signs of "no colored trade solicited" in Sioux City restaurants and when strangers come in they must be embarrassed with inquiring of how to get to a place that they may want. But if that these signs should at least be eliminated or establish a service of an equivalent kind that the whites may be made to realize that such an organization exists for the betterment of a race people here. One thing that prompted the writer to write this book was the bill with the club's name in display at the head and then the undigested expression of "stuff" so and so, and "pap—," giving space for criticism from many angles. Another thing that urged me was on reading an invitation to a social function, the social function, the invitation, from my knowledge of social ethics was for a formal affair and to my surprise was printed in red ink. Can you imagine such 'taste' in organized society? My residence in Sioux City has been the impression that it will be of shorter duration in the future than in the past to the sorrow of none and my chief aim is to admonish you to brighten up and be more scrupulous in advertising invitational social functions and less obtrusive and more conservative in the infusion of reflective hand bills. Parents would do well to admonish their children of some societies in Sioux City. Not that it can not have commendable society but that the majority carries a name that disguises its exact motive. Thanks to the few constitutive people I have met since my stay here. This letter does not promulgate slander, neither a rebuke to society's privileges but merely as a reminder of the fact that a few persons notice these things and most especially new comers who have always cherished a great desire to live in permanent residence here, and also persons who are well up in the requirements of organized society. Pray tell me what has the Community Advancement club and the Sioux City Dames done for the betterment of commercial, domestic and industrial society. The ideas may be gained to much advantage through the means of travel and affiliation with high-class society that does things worth while. BUXTON ITEMS. "Lincoln—the Ideal of American Boys;" was the subject of a very splendid address by the general secretary of the community meeting day, Feb. 10, 1884, and recitations by the Boys' Glee club. Mrs. W.

Griffin, was attending the council of bishops (of the A. M. E. church) which was in session at Dallas, Texas, on the 20th. Therefore many of our members as is the custom went visiting, which fact served to cut the attendance at all services throughout the day at our church. There we had only an average attendance. Miss Bessie Graves, one of our faithful teachers in the primary department is spending a week with her aged parents, who are highly respected citizens of Moulton, Iowa. We are proud beyond expression, of the kind of love best felt by the one of a goodly number of older people at our session on each Sabbath. Teaching the young by example, as it were.
