GEO. W. K. LOVE BEING URGED FOR GRAND MASTER OF MASONS COL. CHAS. YOUNG COMING TO WESTERN UNIVERSITY WE REACH 20,000 NEGROES NOW! We are going after 100,000 by June, 1920—Help us! VOLUME X. NUMBER 34 DIBI GEO. W. K. COL. CHA THE NEGRO HOUSING PROBLEM It is a well known fact that were we a people without ambitions, without aspirations, without ideals, ignorant, and unmindful of the things which go to make life more beautiful, more beautiful, and more happy, there would be less friction between our neighbors and ourselves. As long as we were the occupants of the log cabin or the one-room h ut common in the South, especially during Booker T. Washington's early career, where five and six members—male and female—of th same family lived, cooking, eating, sleeping all in one room where sanitary conditions were most appalling, we were not molested, neither were we the objects of envy. When such question arises in a place like Kansas City as to where, and in what kind of dwellings, the enlightened element of our race shall live, just how much convenience, comfort and happiness they shall enjoy where they may reside in peace and rear their families under wholesame influences, the gross ignorance of the opposing parties is hopelessly exposed. It shows that this particular class of people is not aware of the fact that we are being awakened to higher ideals. We are responding to the necessity of cleanliness, the boon companion of godliness. We are responding to the same laws to which they respond, believing that they are also essential for the preservation of the health of our bodies and minds. They are unmindful of the fact that these principles reach us through the same channels by which they are brought to them. We are becoming better and more healthful through the mediums of the schools, the churches, the public press, and through the various organizations engaged in welfare work and the general uplift of the masses. Our opponents must agree that all of these are most potent factors in arousing men and women from lethargy, awakening them to a knowledge of what they owe themselves and their families. With this great expansion of the mind and soul comes a discontent with things which formerly seemed to satisfy ordinary needs. Like the tendrils of the plant which reach out and upward to enjoy the sunlight and the pure air, so we, having grown discontent with the foul odors arising from alleys clogged with refuse, the impure air blowing from the gutter and clogged sewers, are reaching upward. We are seeking better and more convenient accommodations. Will Kansas City's populace solve this question by resorting to threats of violence, by the use of dynamite, or by the employment of means wholly unbecoming to citizens of this enlightened day? Such actions will only serve to make bad matter worse. To say to those who are convinced that they are acting from principle, "Thus far shalt thou go and no farther," is but to arouse a spirit of antagonism, and a stubborn determination to press beyond the line of demarkation. Were health, comfort, and happiness things to be enjoyed by one particular race and wholly denied to the other, one might be able to look upon such folly with at least a slight degree of toleration. The thing for this city to do to help materially to solve this Negro Housing Problem is to erect houses with modern improvements, and adequate accommodations, in districts that are conducive to both health and good morals, and rent them to our people at reasonable prices. If this be done, there will be no need of "Protest Meetings" where measures of violence are discussed to prevent our people's occupying the dwellings fho which they have paid their hard-earned money. If we are provided with the kind of homes which we want and are willing to pay, we will prove ourselves just as independent as those who oppose us. We will prove to them that what we want is not Social Privileges or Social Equality, but Civil Rights, pure and simple. Mrs. J. R. Williams, 2418 Vine St. FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY OF TULSA. A Colored Man Aspires to Be a Mem ber of School Board. Mr. Fred L. Douglass, one of the leading citizens qualified last week to be a candidate for a member of the School Board of this city, as only two men filed for the respective directorship there will be no primary, but they will be voted on in the election May 30, 1919. Mr. Douglass is amply qualified to discharge the duties of the position he seeks and will no doubt, make a good race.—Tulsa Star. The Kansas City Sun NEW MASONIC TEMPLE. MILITARY LODGE OPENS TEMPLI Tenth Cavalry Masons Entertain Brilliantly. Fort Huachuca, Ariz.—April 17 was made n otable in the history of the famous "Fighting Tenth" Cavalry by the brilliant affair with which the Masonic lodges of the regiment opened their new temple. Hundreds of dollars were spent by members of the fraternity in making the opening a sumptuous entertainment. Dancing and an elaborate banquet were features of the occasion that delighted the 500 and more guests. Those jolly rhythmic melodies that make dancing pure pleasure were discoursed throughout the evening by a section of the justly celebrated regimental band. Comrades from the outposts and friends from the Twenty-fifth Infantry now in Nogales, Ariz., came into the fort to join in this celebration and to congratulate the Masonic brethren on their attractive new temple. The building is a two story stone building affording not only an attractive social hall but also a very conveniently arranged lodge room. Since last July members of the lodges, under the direction of Sgt. J. F. Hendricks, W. M., Sgt. Wm. Payne, Frank Sawyer and others, have worked during s pare time to erect and complete their cherished temple. In addition to themselves supplying the labor the brethren invested above $3000 in material and are planning to spend several hundred dollars more in furnishings. The building is a credit to the race and the fraternity as the home of a military lodge. Two hundred and forty-five members of of the Tenth Cavalry and detachments are devoted to the success of Malta Military Lodge, F. and A. M. The lodge works under the jurisdiction of the Missouri Grand Lodge, regardless of the location of the regiment. Though only three years old this lodge is a leader among the military lodges among the enlisted men of the army. The following named members are credited as being responsible for the brilliant success of the opening: E. L. Butler, W. Glover, J. E. Lee, N. Smith, V. Sanders, G. Boston, C. Littleton, M. W. Murphy, J. Small, T. R. Smart, N. Stith, S. Green, S. Mouton, T. Morris, C. Smart, F. Sawyer, R. Bradley, A. W. Hodges, J. Davis, G. Gammond, S. B. Smith, G. M. Carraway, S. C. Barnes. (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York, May 22—Eleven of our young women have gone to France in the capacity of Y. M. C. A. secretaries to add their service to the work that forty-two of our men secretaries have been carrying on for our soldiers since the beginning of the war. Nine of these women are college graduates.

Va.; Miss Ernestine Suarez, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Miss Halle Craigwell, New York; Miss Lillian Woods Turner, Atlanta, Ga.; Miss Florence C. Williams, Raleigh, N. C.; Harriet S. Edwards and Althea E. Rochon, New York City. MRS. BELL CREWS PASSES AWAY The Editor and brother, James H. Crews, were called to St. Joseph, Mo., this week on account of the death of the wife of their brother, Smith Crews, in that city. Mrs. Crews has been ill for some time and passed away last Monday at 11:30 at the age of 51, in the full triumph of faith. Her f. neral was held on Wednesday at 12 o'clock from Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, cf which she was a member, under the auspices of Queen Mary Tabernacle No. 5, which had charge of the ceremonies. A beautiful funeral cration was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Maloney, her pastor, and many beautiful floral offerings were in evidence. The body was taken to Oregon, Mo, where she was buried by the side of her father and mother. She leaves besides her husband, one son, Sherman; a step-son, four aunts, Francis Free, Elvry Carter, Mary Free and Mattie Grider; two uncles, David and Caesar Free of Kansas City, and other relatives. I. F. Ramsey, the well known undertaker of St. Joseph had charge of the funeral arrangements, which were splendidly carried out. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1919. CHICAGO ARTIST GIVES SUCCESSFUL CONCERT. On Friday evening, April 25, at Labor Temple Mrs. Nora Douglass Holt of Chicago gave the most musically intellectual concert yet attempted in Kansas City. Versatile in the art of piano playing and theory, with a group of her own songs as variety, her program proved but educational and inspiring and her musical talk aroused laity and professional to the need of a higher musical standard in this city. Numbers of most interest on her well grouped program were "Sonata Oppassionata," by Beethoven, which she gave with matured interpretation and balanced phrasing, having studied it with Rudolph Renter, the eminent pianist, who graduated from the Leipzig Conservatory with high honors; the Prelude with basso ostinato by Th. Otterstrom; her own called the "Southern Suites," of which "In the Swamps," written in memory of and M. H. B. [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. DR.

C. Hueston of the law firm of Hueston and Calloway of Kansas City, was joined by his partner here last week, in an effort to acquaint the people of Chicago with the facts in the appeal case of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy. Dr. Bundy has been removed from the jail in Waterloo to the penitentiary in Joliet, ill., where he will be confined pending bail or a new trial. All of forts to secure bail have been opposed by the Prosecutor. A citizen's meeting was held at the Unity Club, Indiana Ave., Monday night, when plans were laid to raise a fund of seven thousand dollars to carry the case forward. KANSAS CITY MAN IN "Y" AT CAMP DODGE William H. Washington, a Kansas City man, who went into the Y. M. C. A. service at Camp Dodge last July, has been having a great time out there in his work. His first job was in the "Y" tent in the tent city detention area where 30,000 rookies passed through and spent four weeks in quarantine before starting their regular training. This was where the first Jazz band was organized. It consisted of ten pieces and was the beginning of the band that furnished the music for the shows and entertainments that did so much to drive away the homesickness of the men while they were new to camp ways. Mr. Washington also had charge of arrangements for the shows that were put on by the men. The plan was for the different places represented in camp to each have a night when they would furnish the entertainment. The St. Louis boys, Minneapolis, St. Paul and the fellows from Indiana each put on shows that were the real thing, while the band livened them all up. After a strenuous four months in tent city, Washington was transferred to No. 89, the newest and finest "Y" building in camp, where his work was to be among the men of the Labor Batallion. This was also a good stiff job, as the Labor Batallion was considered the hardest bunch in camp from the standpoint of morale. The work here was built around a band organization also, although the first difficulty was to get the consent of the military authorities to undertake what they considered a hopeless job. But their consent once obtained he worked night and day to make good and justify the experiment. He put it up to the fellows, "We must make good or the battalion will be belittled." And so the band was started, although it meant teaching all of the men to read music and helping and encouraging others so that all might work together. Meanwhile, of course, there was the regular work of the building to be done; running the moving picture machine three nights a week besides the social programs and desk duty behind the counter. The band has proved a tremendous success through Mr. Washington's untiring and constant effort. It now numbers twenty-five pieces, and there are also fourteen pieces in the Jazz band that varies the programs and plays on less important occasions. All the members have been selected and trained by Mr. Washington. The band has given concerts in several white churches in Des Moines and plays regularly for the church services at the Y as well as for the movie programs. At a program given by the band and orchestra at the Red Cross house at the base hospital there were seven hundred wounded and convalescent soldiers present, among them about a hundred who had to come in wheel chairs. In fact, it has been said that the Jazz band is the best that there has been in Camp Dodge. They furnish the music regularly for the battalion dances held each week in the Hostess House. Three members of the band trained by Mr. Washington have gone to the famous Teenth Cavalry in the Philippines and expect to be in the band there for three years. Among the personnel of the organization are three white sergeants who play with the band and never miss practice. Mr. Washington expects to leave Camp Dodge soon, as the battalion is about to be discharged. Among the most cherished souvenirs that he will carry away with him is a baton that was presented to him as his leader, by the members of the band, in token of their universal appreciation and good will they all bore toward him. He will probably return to Kansas City. He was a member of the Allen Chapel and a musician in the Knights Templar Band.

Foster Now is never too soon to start something worth while. In fact, it frequently has advantages that can be secured in no other way than by early starting. Right now we must begin cutting the wires from the machine of evil which is trying to hold our lives and property in jeopardy. My people can demand nothing more than justice, and neither shall we be satisfied with any less. The value in manhood must be recognized. Manhood doesn't mean something big except it stands for something. We have more for which to stand than any other race, and we are standing for less. To hold in your grasp the nower to crush an evil and not to make use of that power stamps you as a traitor not only to yourself but the race at large. Every individual who loves himself as a man or woman and has the interest of his people at heart will not submit to any such humiliation. Oh, how can you, my fellow countryman, stand with a grin on your face and say that you believe segregation would be satisfactory. The writer speaks for his people by saying that we do not approve of segregation in any form. We are not to be the tool of the prejudiced white man any longer. We understand that flies and spiders never build their nests together; that the lion and the leopard don't lie down together; that water and oil won't mix; that vinegar and soda will not mix peacefully, for if you want to see vinegar foam, just throw some soda into it; but I believe with all my heart that the time has come when the Negro will foam if you throw anything into him that is not desirable. He has foamed with doubts, depression, repression and gloom but will radiate a good feeling and his happiness will be increased if he can own a home any place money will buy. The greatest opportunity since the Emancipation Proclamation now is knocking at the door of the Negro race. The opportunity to demonstrate their high standard of citizenship, patriotism, potentiality and their deservance of equality with all human races has come. This, with the unfalling love for their country, is the interest of the Negro race in the establishment of Democracy and the world war according to Major General C. C. Ballou, who spoke before an audience of more than two thousand in the auditorium of the Lincoln High School. I would like to know whether or not the Negro did not fight and die on the battle fields of France that this would be a safe place for all men to live in. And there still remains a large number of them over there carrying the American flag as high as it can go and should they never return, we will not allow any Ku Klux of Bolshevist to overthrow their homes. Oh, thus be it ever, When free men shall stand Between their loved home And grim war's desolation; Blest with victory and peace. May the heaven rescued land Praise the power that has made And Preserved us a Nation. Then conquer we must When our cause it is just, And this be our motto: In God is our trust. AN OMISSION Mrs. A.

Following the informal meeting held by a number of prominent Negroes at the office of the Kansas City Sun April 19 at which time a committee was appointed to wait upon Mayor Cowgill for the purpose of bringing about a conference relative to residence disputes which had suddenly arisen in sections of the city, much satisfactory progress has already been made. The Mayor expressed himself as heartily in accord with the idea of a peaceful settlement of the controversy and declared that those who threaten violent measures would not be tolerated in any manner. He named as his special committee to work out a solution the following Colored men: Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, Dr. J. E. Dibble, Rev. Wm. H. Thomas, T. B. Watkins, T. C. Chapman and Joe E. Herrford. With these men he also named Hon. W. T. Kemper, Judge Ralph Latshaw, Bishop Lillis, Dr. Burris Jenkins, R. A. Long, Mr. Herbert V, Jones, Ex-Mayor Geo. H. Edwards, and Henry M. Beardsley. Several meetings of this committee have been held and the question has been freely discussed from all angles, the general idea being maintained that the Negroes are not to be mistreated in their residence rights by any hot-headed enemies of the race. At a meeting held last Saturday at the National Bank of Commerce, Mr. Herbert V. Jones was appointed to take up the matter with the Kansas City Real Estate Board, of which he is president, and to make a report as to what that body would undertake in solving the problem. The joint committee unanimously agreed upon the following tentative points: 1. We believe that the Negro citizens of this community have the inherent right to live in sanitary and convenient houses. 2. We believe that as the Negro population increases, their residential sections should expand in a natural manner, recognizing that it is impossible to regulate this expansion by any fixed or arbitrary bounds. 3. We believe that in the present contentions, Negro residence should remain just as they are and that they should receive the just protection of the law. 4. We believe in teh peaceful, law-regarding manner of settling this or any other civic-social questions, and we deprecate, the passionate impulses of those who would resort to any language or actions which tend to disturbance or violence. 5. We appeal to the highest tone of our citizenship to meet this question in fairness and honesty, to lay aside unjust and unreasonable prejudice, and we call upon the sober-minded people of this city to support us in the exercising of the reasonable rights of Negro citizens. The Kansas City Post was cordially thanked for the fearless and patriotic manner in which it had commented editorially upon the relations between the races and the inflammatory news articles published in other local dailies was condemned. The best white people of the community have determined to rule in this matter and a quick quietus will be placed upon any lawlessness undertaken by either race. The Negro members of the committee have made a good impression upon teh white men with whom they have been in conference and may be depended upon to do their part in fully protecting the interests of Negro home owners. These men are now permanently a part of the Mayor's official committee and yill continue in working out the problem. In the meantime, the Colored people are advised to quietly and decently pursue their wonted habits of good citizenship, pay absolutely no attention to ignorant rumors and take no part in wild controversies. No one will be compelled to move from his home, not matter where it is located, unless he does so of his own volition. It must be well known and admitted that it is not always expedient for the members of one race to break into a community of another race far removed from their own people. This is as true of the blacks as of the whites, but the Negroes must have a natural outlet for their natural growth and their homes cannot be restricted to the always least desirable sections of a big city. The way to settle the question is for both sides to be reasonable and fair and at all times to be law-abiding. --- » Our Foreign Correspondents Page Two. Lodge Directory | A.

With the Auditorium filled from the floor to the balcony the Lawrence Forum presided over by Mr. James Scott, rendered one of the most a? Preciated programs that we have had the privileze of hearing in some time. To say that it was everything that we expected from the Athens of Kan- sas does not in any way tell what we would have you know of the rare treat. Lawrence did not spare any pains in selecting her representatives and each one acquitted themselves with honor. ‘We wish to make special mention of the paper by Rey. John Adams, a prominent pastor of Lawrence, which was a masterpiece and a credit to the author. The musical numbers accord- ing to the Critic, Prof. J. P. King, were superb. The Sextetto was all that one could expect in a musical way and Miss Fern Walker's solo and encore would have done credit to a Black Patti, The instrumental solos were very fine indeed.

The Japanese had just as well learn that race prejudice as an American institution is not going to be ignored any more than the Monroe Doctrine. A small riot was recently pulled off in London between some American white soldiers and some American black soldiers over the attentions which English white girls were paying to the latter. Mr. Rucker Smith, the well known sociologist and thinker, has issued a very sensible and interesting statement on the Negro housing problem in Kansas City. Every householder and progressive Negro and citizen should read Mr. Smith's statements. Some farseeing Colored men around town are saying that national prohibition can never go into effect, that there will always be whiskey, that people will always want it and always have it, all of which is very comforting and consolon gto those who love their toddy. It is hoped that those southeast residents who took up a collection the other night to buy dynamite will use it for blasting rock in building up new homes for themselves rather than in blowing up the old homes which they are abandoning and which Negroes are being by them persuaded to occupy. Kansas City should congratulate herself (especially her black citizen ship) upon having such a wise, safe and far visioned counselor and lead er as Dr. J. Edgar Dibble, who in handling the difficult housing problem that has been stirring the community during the past month, has displayed a wisdom and diplomacy that is the source of much pleasure to his myriad friends. The race's interest is always safe in the hands of man like Dr. J. Edgar Dibble, and his committee. NOTICE TO OUT OF TOWN SUB- SCRIBERS. Mrs. Rosetta B.

Please take notice and be prepared to pay her. All courtesies shown her will be appreciated by The Sun THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS ON A SNAG. SHOULD ITALY PROCEED? By Prof. Wm. H. Dawley. Italy cannot forget her Ancient greatness. Yet less than a century ago Metternich called Italy a "Geographical expression" Cavour made modern Italy. England, France and Germany aided him. Hence it was not difficult for Italy to unite with Bismark's Triple alliance. While there was peace she maintained the alliance. When Germany and Austria in 1914 attacked France, Italy to the surprise of the world, "halted twixt love and duty." Duty beckoned her to the side of Germany and Austria, but her traditions and ideals pointed to England and France. It now develops that she was working strictly to her own advantage. That is no crime. When in 1871 Italy was unified with Rome as her capital as in the days of the Ancient monarchy the Republic, the Caesars, Austria, her former opressor, still retained territory of Italian speaking people, Italia irredenta. In 1915 Italy entered the war on the side of England and France to wrest from Austria this coveted territory. Because in the possession of Austria it was a constant menace to Italian Sovereignty, since Italy has no harbors on the Adriatic. Hence her Adriatic coast is exposed and unprotected. But at the end of the war there is no Austrian Empire. Hence Italian fear from that source is renewed. A new state has arisen above Austria's ruins, Jugo Stavia with aspirations and ideals similar to Italy's, but they can't be realized without a coast and without a harbor. These have been awarded to her but Italy holds three and declines to give them up. Hence the first real concrete snag that the League of Nations has struck. It is whispered that Italy is making overtures to Japan. Some days ago the United States threatened to withdraw. Italy has actually withdrawn but Japan is too wily to do anything like that. It may be skid of Japan as Gortchakof affirmed of Russia, "she never suks, she mediates." MADAME C. J. WALKER ILL. Madame C. J. Walker became quite ill while in this city on business a few days ago. She was under the care of Dr. W. P. Curtis who called into consultation Dr. Elsworth Smith Jr., specialist and Dr. W. M. Shackleford, pathologist. So improved was her condition that she was able to leave for her home in New York accompanied by her physician and nurse, Miss M. Antonette Howard R. N. They will be met by her family physician, Maj.

Houston Shelton of the 805th Pioneer Infantry writes: "There is nothing more interesting over here than the tennis tournament recently played by Sergt. Paul Jones, two Frenchmen and myself. Sergt. Jones and myself carried away all honors. Sergt. Jones is of Chicago." Corporal Henry C. Cullors, formerly of 2643 Highland avenue, wishes his friends to know that he is well. He has been traveling with General Pershing most of his time in France. He was decorated by the King of Belgium for service rendered. Corporal Cullors is the son-in-law of Rev. and Mrs. O. T. Redd and the father of Baby Cecil Cullors. The Editor is in receipt of a communication from Phillip B. Johnson who is with the Mediest Detachment 805th Pioneer Infantry. He says: "I am in Southern France where hundreds of soldiers are visiting. This is the home of the historic Black Madonna. Snow capped mountains are all about. This is just like the heaven we read about. No prejudice; all the folks here treat you right." Mr. Frank B. Jennings of the Medical Detachment, 805th Pioneer Infantry, writes: "The 805th Bear Cats Regiment have organized a band made up principally of Kansas City boys. These young men were promoted to Sergeant—Cesco Johnson and Buddie Hill. The band is producing first class music. They are getting very popular with Jazz music and have added a Frenchy touch from Paris. The 805th Jazz band, headed by Billy Higgins, Kansas City's famous comedian, played in many French villages. We also have a good hall team. We expect to arrive home in about sixty days or sooner. We all send best regards to our friends." --- Assistant Post Chaplain Arthur E. Rankin, A. P. O., 708th, writes: "I do not know what you people in America are thinking of just now, but I believe it is time to think about the reorganization of the Regular Army. This is the psychological time to demand deserved recognition won on many battle fields under the banner of making the world "safe for democracy" and to request belated justice. Long ago the 24th and 25th Infantries and the 9th and 10th Cavalry proved without a doubt the worth of our men as fighters, and if any other evidence is needed, you may point with pride at the splendid achievement of the 92nd and 93rd Divisions in France A Republican Congress and a patriotic people can ill afford to ignore such efficiency, patriotism and loyalty in the reorganization of a new army." --- [The following poem was contributed by Private Marion W. Johnson of Ambulance Co. 487, S. T. Private Johnson is of Warrensburg, Mo.] Back from the front line trenches, Come the boys in olive drab, Who offered their life for their Country Which was all that the black man had. Some are laughing, some are silent, Having witnessed the work of God's hand When their comrades fell beside them As they crossed into No Man's Land. Like they left the trenches. Their country sent them back to clvian life. civilian life. Ragged and dirty they were started back To mothers, sweethearts and wives. Mothers who have waited anxiously, Sweethearts, too, who'd be glad, And wives, to see their loved ones For they too, gave all they had. Greater love than this hath no man, That he lay down his life for a friend; But where is a greater love expressed Than by the boys who died in France. Who died for the cause of democracy, which alas, is but a word Used by all the greater nations In the largest part of the world. Over there, there was democracy, France knew no color line, But where has democracy gone But where has democracy gone Since the armistice has been signed? They said when the war first started To the drafters in "Seventeen." You are fighting for Democracy To make the whole world clean. And a decent place to live in, And a peaceful place to die, But I wonder where that place is now Comrade, for you and I. For now that the war is over And the black boys back where were in; Wilson has asked the question: "What shall we do with him?" Shal we colonize the Negro Or let him stay with us? But they didn't ask that question When the world was in its fuss. We were good enough to be with them And to fight right by their side. But I'll venture to bet there's not one of them yet Shed a tear for the thousands who died. Boys, tell me what we fought for, Perhaps I don't see the light; But I thought when I enlisted. We wer fighting for all men's rights. Not to justify segregation, Jimcrowism and lynching mobs, But to make the world free for de mocracy In the sight of Almighty God. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. MAY 3. 1919 LEAGUE OF NATIONS. By Wm. H. Dawley, Jr. Negro delegates from the world's important Negro centers in teh Pan-African Congress, of which 16 were from the United States of America, 13 from the French West Indies, 7 from Haviti. These delegates adopted certain very clear, specific and definite articles concerning the betterment of the Negroes, civilized and uncivilized, dispersed around the globe, over the signatures of Blaise Diagne, President; W. E. B. DuBois, Secretary, and laid them before the Peace Conference. This may have effect. The personal appeal of the unarmed but up landing Bishop of Rome, Leo J, affected the dread Atilia. The current crisis struck another ringing note, to-wit: "Every Negro (of the United States) should speak French. Large numbers should speak Spanish and Portuguese." "Why? Because the peoples of the Romance tongues have a deeper sympathetic vein with us. Because the majority of the Negroes of the world speak these languages, and when at some future time we are thrown together we shall be able to understand one another. Most of the Negroes of the United States who speak a foreign language speak German and the language of Luther. Gothe and Schiller is rich. It pleases, it thrills, but does it inspire the Negro? In the Romance literature are Negro heroes, generals, statesmen, scholars, artists. In these literatures as well as Greek and Latin there is no sentence, no word disparaging to the Negro. Mr. Wilson may with finesse sway a Democratic congress and repeatedly mold it to his views but it is disagreement of him to affirm that he meets his master in the little Welshman that is now guiding the destinies of the British Empire. When Mr. Wilson left America the first time he was vigorously waving the flag, "Freedom of the seas." Since his visit to England not a word has he uttered about it. "Open covenants" he was advocating on his second visit. Mr. Wilson had hardly been in France a week when teh already limited ten was reduced to four, and now these four, it is said, are to submit the treaty to the Germans before the other allied powers review it. Why did Mr. Wilson send for the George Washington? Here is the answer. There were three essentials, 1, that Lloyd George made good his promise that Germany pay England's cost of the war; 2, that Clemenceau see to it that Germany pay for the destruction in the French provinces and the ruined French industries; 3, that Mr. Wilson have the League of Nations constitution so modified as to exclude the Monroe doctrine from its operations. The ever mindful Lord Northcliffe, the world's foremost editor, jogged his premier's memory. Lloyd George suddenly informed Mr. Wilson that Great Britain found serious difficulties in the way of modifying the League. Taken by surprise at his move, the President sent for the George Washington at once. However, as his ship was approaching the European shore "Mr. Wilson seems to appreciate the Anglo-French attitude in the matter of reparations. Theer is at the same time a growing possibility on the part of Lloyd George, the present dominant figure of the conference, to understand and accept Mr. Wilson's view about the Monroe doctrine and the covenant of the League of Nations." BASE MUST WORK Washington, D. C.—"The Negro's Place in American civilization must be won by himself" and he must not depend on others." is the declaration made by the National Race Conference through the Executive Committee at a reception given to Dr. W. H. Jernagin at Mt. Carmel Baptist church last Friday night. The occasion being Dr. Jernagin's return from France where he represented the Conference in the Pan African Conference and at the Peace Conference. Every section of the country was represented at the Board meeting, and over two thousand people attended the reception at Mt. Carmel church Friday night presided over by Dr. Callis, Special music was rendered by the choir of Mt. Carmel church, and then followed the report of Dr. Jernagin, who was the only man sent by an organization over to France. He said that the large crowd was to him a source of inspiration, and from the greeting, he was determined to do more than ever for his race. He was sorry to say that in many instances the Negro, especially of the labor battalions had not received a square deal in France, and the white officers had carried their race prejudice into France and had not failed to exhibit it when the occasion presented itself. "But I thank God I am able to say to you that in the face of all of this our boys discharged their duty and were heroes. Some of them died, and at the command marched into death like they were going into a banquet hall. The world will give their credit of being soldiers." Dr. Jernagin told of his experience in getting over to France, his experience after he got over there, what he had seen on the battlefields and in the trenches, and how he was received by the men over there. His address was punctuated with outbursts of applauses, and concluding he made a strong appeal to every man and woman to rally to themselves, to the call of their race. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, May 21—The newspapers of the Race are finally and forever on the map. With more than 400 publications of various kinds in the field, more than one hundred of the weekly newspapers have increased in business, prestige and influence by leaps and bounds in the last five years. So great has become the influence of the newspapers, that in certain sections of the South, there has been a determined, though unsuccessful effort to prevent the circulation of certain Race newspapers that are spreading the gospel of justice, and equal opportunity. Circulation for more than a score of the newspapers has been doubled. [Name not visible] Hon. S. A. I. Watkins, one of Chicago's brilliant attorneys who is reported is to assist in the Bundy Case. trebled and in some 1 instances quadrupled in the last four years. There is no event of importance happening at the present time than is not known from one end of the nation to the other in a week's time. This intercommunication has enabled the 12,000,000 people of our group to act in unity on many subjects that in former years required weeks and months to disseminate. Everywhere, editors are displaying the liveliness and most progressive interest in getting the news to the people. Their increase in circulation has given them an increase in advertising, and an opportunity to raise rates, and hence it has at last reached the delightful point where Race journalism has become a paying investment. The latest addition to the files of Negro journalism is the Associated Negro Press, with headquarters at 312 S. Clark Street, Chicago. This service which is modern in every respect, gathers news from every section of the country, and distributes it among more than one hundred newspapers. The service is copyrighted. EMNET J. SCOTT QUITS. Washington, D. C., April 23.—Upon the highest authority it is declared that Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Assistant Secretary of War, will leave his position as Secretary of War on July 1, 1919. That he will go back to Tuskegee for a period at least, as Secretary is prophesied, but that he will permanently remain there is questioned. There have been many alluring offers made to Mr. Scott to enter large business corporations in the North, but these, jit seems, have been uniformly turned down. The offer, however, which is still open, and which rumor persists in having him accept, is that or a directing official or cashier in a colored bank that has long been in contemplation in New York. That rumor connects the names of Bankers Brown and Stevens, of Philadelphia, with the enterprise. That Tuskegee can ill afford to lose its most efficient secretary and one of the most level-headed and far-seeing diplomats of the race, all agree. But that a series of circumstances both at Washington and Tuskegee have made this change possible, if not probable, those who know declare certain. Hon. S. A. I. Watkins, one of Ch ported is to assist in the Bundy Case Molting Process Important. Molting Process Important. Crabs and caterpillars represent a host of creatures wherein growth is impossible without molting. The material of which their skin is composed is inelastic and cannot admit of growth. As a consequence frequent changes of skin are imperative. How a crab manages to wriggle out of its strong case is something of a mystery, but the process entails a severe strain on the vitality and exposes the newly molted body to grave perils, since for a time the new skin is quite soft and hence neither escape from enemies by flight nor defense by the usual grip of the great pincers is possible till the hardening process is complete. Roosevelt a "Reg'lar Boy." "As a boy," says H. R. Needham, "Theodore Roosevelt roamed the Long Island woodland; learned to know the trees and the plants; interpreted the calls of the birds, with whose plumage and habits he became familiar. He was a born naturalist, a true lover of nature. Said a decrept Long Islander, who carried the Roosevelt family to their Oyster Boy country home, and in whose stage the lad 'Ted' was wont to ride: 'He was a regular boy. Always outdoors, climbin' trees and goin' bird-nestin'. I remember him particular, because he had queer things alive in his pockets. Sometimes it was even a snake." Plymouth People After the founding of Massachusetts and other New England colonies, Plymouth had a very quiet and successful life, writes Roland G. Usher in "The Story of the Pilgrims for Children." Not a great deal happened there in which you would now be interested. The days of hard times were over. They had now plenty of food and all kinds of it. They had enough now to buy little luxuries in England and have them brought over, but they chiefly ate food which they raised themselves. Baked beans with pork and brown bread were eaten at Plymouth in these first days. So was hasty pudding, made of cornmeal, and all sorts of corn breads. Soups of peas and beans were made. But they did not have in those days ple or plum pudding or cranberry sauce. --- Noah a Clever Shipbuilder. Noah a Clever Shipbuilder. A good word for Noah's prescience as a shipbuilder is found in an allusion to his ark in Nauticus. "It would not be a difficult task," says that journal, "to pick out of Lloyd's Register many ships built within the last 20 years whose dimensions suggest a form closely resembling that of Noah's ark. According to the dimensions given in the Bible, as translated in terms of modern measurement, the ark was 460 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 48 feet deep. Her tonnage was 11,413, and she had plenty of room for pairs of all the distinct species of animals that are classed by Buffon, 244, and she could have accommodated a thousand persons and then had plenty of room for the storage of supplies." Noiseless Workers Nature is a noiseless worker. You cannot hear the pumps which are sending the sap from the roots of the great oak tree into its topmost twig, but they are busy day and night, just the same. You may lie with your ear to the ground, but you will listen vainly for any rustling as the grass and weeds and flowers rise from the winter's long bivouac and fall into line. The apple tree sounds no trumpets, but how beautiful the banners she throws to the breeze. And all this noiseless activity brings home the truth some of you have already discovered, that the workers who make the most noise are not necessarily the ones who accomplish the most--Girl's Companion. Playful Snakes Every wild thing has its playful moments—even a deadly snake, writes a correspondent in the Australian Bulletin. On one expedition I caught a black fellow about five feet long disporting itself in a shallow surface pool. The reptile had a water-lily stem in its Jaws, and was dragging and tossing it about much after the fashion in which a kitten plays with a ball of wool. A snake, too, which has caught a frog usually carries the squealing amphibian about for some time before swallowing it. This procedure, of course, is partly for purposes of salivation, but it displays also a certain pride in prowess skim to that of a cat with a freshly-caught mouse. Chicago's brilliant attorneys who is re- Chinese boys and girls are just as fond of toys and games as the children of other lands, although to look at their solemn little faces you would hardly think so. The little Chinese boy has a big pocket in the front of his pinafore that he leaves to fill with all sorts of things—bits of string, a top, coins and especially candy. His sweetmeats are very hard, some of them like our rock candy, but they taste good to him. He also likes the queer nuts, melon seeds and bits of sugar cane that he buys in the streets from a man who goes round with two baskets hanging from a pole that he carries across his shoulders. The toys that the children buy, also from a man in the street, are generally cheap figures of animals or of human beings, made of clay or paper. Few Jan Women Sing Well Few Jap Women Sing Well. Dr. Yuhara Gen-Ichl, president of the Tokyo Academy of Music, remarks that Japanese women are prevented from being experts in foreign music in large part for reasons of physique. In the first place, their fingers are too short for the piano or the violin, while their short legs prevent them from playing the organ effective. Their voices are poor and weak, and it is impossible for them to vie with foreign women in vocal music. A strong and powerful voice comes from a good physique. If, therefore, Japanese women desire to show their capacity for foreign music, they must first of all set to work to improve their physique. Ink From Cuttlefish Unlike the cuttlefish of the Indian seas, the cuttle of the Gulf of Mexico exudes a purple substance, and tourists for many years have written their letters with the ink from the gulf cuttle considering it as one of the semi-tropical curiosities, little dreaming that it might be an invaluable aid to industry and easily obtained in goodly quantities. The product of the gulf cuttle is as everlasting as that of the Indian fish, and it is up to the energetic dyer or chemist to further learn that the cuttlefish offers him dyes, gratis, or rather, for the small expense of catching him.
