Tefuse to As early as Tuesday morning and continuing until Thursday morning representative colored and white Baptists from the various states in the Union were coming into the city as members of the Peace Commission of the National Baptist Convention (Incorporated) and National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) and the Southern Baptist Convention (white) and many other members and friends of the two colored conventions respectively. The meeting, according to previous arrangements and announcements, was called to order at Baptist Church (white) by the Rev. Lins, president of the Southern Baptist Seminary at Louisville, Ky, who acted as temporary chairman in perfecting the permanent organization of the joint Commission, which resulted in the election of the grand and beloved Dr. Gambrell, president of the Southern Baptist Convention as permanent chairman. Rev. C. J. W. Boyd, Prof. Chas. H. Stewart, O. L. Halley were elected secretaries. Dr. Halley, who had acted in that capacity in the last peace conference which met at Memphis, felt disposed to decline and allow others of the colored brethren who were elected to the presidency. He did not insist upon his declination, not render any active service in that capacity. There was a beautiful exposition of friendship and brotherly love exhibited on the face and expressed in language by all present. It was a real baptist meeting on a high order, for the doors were not closed against the public. While no invitation had been extended, the guess --- NASHVILLE GLOBE. NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY-THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. tion was not raised as to whether visitors would be allowed to sit during the meeting of the joint sessions. Wisdom and experience of the Commission were shown in the concise and fair rules adopted as a course of procedure. One of the rules, and one of the conventions, was that which provided that all questions affecting either conventions with the Commissions here assembled were to be given time to meet separately and apart from the joint session and consider and vote upon said questions and report back to the joint session. This rule was quickly adhered to. There seemed to have been a concern on the part of all to have peace and finally get together in a reunited body. However, during the session there were strong arguments made in support of their respective views, and great speeches made explaining the same. Each of the colored commissions elected its spokesman to represent them, and one hour was given each of the spokesmen to lay their side to the commission. Dr. John H. Frank, the editor of the National Baptist Union-Review, was the spokesman for the unincorporated convention. Dr. W. H. Moses, the general field secretary of the incorporated convention, was spokesman for that body. Dr. Gambrell, after addressing the brethren upon the importance of the meeting and the responsibility as to each one present, and the outlook for the future of the commission, was the commission for the honor conferred upon him to preside over them and asked their co-operation to the end that everything that should be done might redown to the honor and REV. S. J. DICKERSON, Field Secretary Mome Mission Board glory of God. He then called upon the unincorporated commission, or rather Dr. Frank, to present whatever he had on behalf of his commission, whereupon Dr. Frank spoke for forty-five minutes in a most profound and logical speech. He laid before the vast audience the questions at issue that caused the separation of the convention, together with those that have arisen since to keep them apart and widen the breach, and as he put it, he stated the case, defined the issue and showed the effusion of the convention by submitting as prerequisites to peace and reunion the following: That the lawsuits in Chicago, Ill., against the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) to prevent them from using the name NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION, must be dismissed. The ministerial embargo encouraged and practiced by the brethren of the incorporated convention and associations and churches, must be lifted, and reputable ministers of the gospel must be accorded the due courtesy and recognition which belongs to them, which is characteristic of a friendly Christian brotherhood, and the practice of the unbaptistic manner of churches belonging to the incorporated convention receiving members from churches belonging to the unincorporated convention without a act of disreception to the churches who belong to the unincorporated convention, must be discontinued and discouraged; and the lawsuit against the National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville, must be withdrawn. When Dr. Frank concluded, the chair called upon Dr. W. H. Moses of the incorporated convention, to submit what he had to submit on their behalf. Dr. Moses arose, and after making a strong presentation of their case, stated that it was the desire, and not only the desire, but the intention, and not only the intention, it was their determination to get together at any cost, and he deemed it unnecessary for him to make a lengthy speech. After speaking for forty minutes and replying to the speech of Dr. Frank, he concluded with recapitulation of the things submitted by Dr. Frank as a basis of peace and ultimate re-union, and presented as the basis of his contention the document that was adopted by the Memphis commission and approved by his convention when it NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1918. COLORED CAROL SINGERS. Immediately after the angelic choir sang at the advent of Christ on that memorable Christmas morning, carol singing at Yuletide season became a custom in the Orient. But only recently has it taken form in this country. During the Christmas of 1918, no doubt, there was more sorrying and deprivation existing among every people that has ever been the case before, and, as usual, the less fortunate colorful people were the most notwithstanding Christmas is the season when even the poorest should feel joyful and burden-free because of what it represents—the birthday of the Saviour of all—the gloom and poverty in so many homes hinders. Perhaps the children anticipate the coming of Christmas with greater eagerness than the older ones do because of their happy thoughts of the visits of old Kris. We who have passed that period in life realize the joy that fills the little heart that awakes Christmas morning to behold the stocking hanging by the fireplace that has been filled with goodies by old Santa Claus, who came down the chinchin and filled this alone constitutes a merry Christmas, and though the cost is little, many in poverty-streken homes were deprived of it. With this in view, a number of the employees of the National Baptist Publishing House force sing carols Christmas eve night that they might assist in making some little folks happy, and they were well compensated for the effort, for within a few hours they collected thirty-odd dollars which was given to Phyllis Wheatley Club to be used beneficially for the children. During their canvass of the city they saw carol singers going in every direction working with great enthusiasm and receiving liberal response. They, of course, were working for white children. We having only one choir were handicapped in responding to calls from friends and request any who chose to assist and were not reached to forward their donation to Mrs. G. L. Jackson, president of the Phyllis Wheatley Club, 707 Lea Ave. Donations and facilities follow: Donations Rev. Z. Hill, expense of car $ 500 Mr. L. Landers, expense of car 5 00 Rev. H. A.

Noted Negro Evangelist Begins City Cite Wide Gospel Campaign Sunday (Furnished by the National Negro Press Service of America. Clipped from the Shreveport Journal, (La. of December 15, 1918). Telling the story of one of the greatest Religious Dixie, thousands of both races,拼 the Bib of both Tabbernacle nightly hear Our Own "Black Billy Sun day" the Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, Field Evangelist of the National Baptist Convention.) "It is estimated that about three thousand people, many of them white, crowded into the big Union Tabernacle, corner Texas and Grand avenues, Sunday afternoon, to witness the initial service of the great citywide gospel campaign to be conducted by Black Billy Sunday, under the auspices of the Negro churches of the city. In the bence of Myor John McW, Ford, who was to have been present and made an address commending the Negroes for their interest in the spiritual and moral uplift of the members of their race, W. A. McKennon, Methodist layman, introduced and accompanied a briteled congregation leading the Negro leaders on the progress tey were maaakanaga anada asuring them that the white people of the city could be depended upon at all times to assist in any move that would conduce to the welfare of the Negro spiritually and morally. The song service under the direction of Lula Mula Btter, said to be one of the greatest gospel singers and scholars of the Negro race, was one of the most interesting and inspiring features of the afternoon service. The Rising Star Glee Club and the large chorus added interest to the musical program by the rendition of many of the old plantation songs, southern melodies and camp meeting hymns, fairly making the rafters of the big tabernacle shake. "God's Call to Old Shreveport" was the theme of Black Billy's opening sermon. He declared that this was one of the biggest opportunities that had ever come to Shreveport for men and women to line up on God's side and give Jesus Christ a chance to come into their lives. If it was needful for the white race to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for conducting religious campaigns among the white folks, who had back of them centuries of culture, a proud ancestry and a boast of the highest civilization the world has ever seen, how much more was it need, Black Billy Sunay asked, for the Negro race, which, but a few hundred years ago, had merged from darkest heathenism? Give the Negro race Jesus Christ, he declared, and it will be an investment that will yield large returns, in the making of a better citizenship, for the white cannot reach the zenith of their greatness while the Negro remains in ignorance and sin." M'ADOO READY FOR 1920 CAMPAIGN M'ADOO READY FOR 1920 CAMPAIGN RESIGNATION ENABLES HIM TO AVOID "ROUGH VOYAGE" OF NEXT TWO YEARS. Judson C. Welliver, Washington correspondent of the New York Globe, says in the Globe: Washington—Secretary McAdoo's resignation is not to be taken as eliminating him from the list of Presidential possibilities for 1920. Quite the contrary. A close personal and political friend of the Secretary, who beyond question is in a position to know how Mr. McAdoo would wish his resignation to be construed, declares that the retirement does not at all affect the possibility of a Presidential consideration. "Mr. McAdoo," he said, "has nothing to do with that. It is a matter for the party. If the party wants him it can nominate him, and he will be represented." Explaining the resignation further, he opined that the President is determined not to run in 1920, and that if there ever was a chance of his doing so, it has been ended by the recent election and the outburst of criticism called forth by the peace negotiations, the appeal for votes and the trip to Europe. Two Bad Years Ahead. "The administration," continued the speaker, "has ahead of it two years ahead of times, a two-year Republican Congress to man all the troubles possible. Certainly there is no reason why the President, with the wonderful record he has made, should take the chances involved in a third-term candidacy. He will retire in 1921 with a record of achievement in both domestic and international affairs that insures his place in history. The two years of bitterness, bickerings, and party strife ahead will be most disagreeable, but they will pass and be forgotten, while the enduring fame of the President's great work will tower as his monument. Look at Cleveland's last term, and at the place he occupies now in the list of presidents! "For Mr. McAdoo to remain in the cabinet meant that he must carry the heaviest part of the burden in this trying time, with no chance to benefit by it. He would be part of an administration that is certain to go out under fire. Already his resignation has called forth tributes to his military glory and importance in the administration. There we strongly emphasized the realization that if the President is not to run again McAdoo is the strong man of the party. His geography is right, as a New Yorker and if the party wants him it can draft him. He will look better and better, too, as the months pass." The speaker was one of the many Democrats who have been amazed at the recent turn of the political tide against their party. Without trying to explain it, he seemed to assume that the President has lost his grip on both party and country. Convinced that it all represented a fearful injustice to the President, he accepted it, seemingly, as irreparable. He had no evidence yet, but attempt an analysis of factors that produced the sudden reverse. Wilson's "Popularity" Exploded. But opinion is settling down to something like conclusions about what the election results meant. To the question, "What happened so suddenly to dissipate the President's immense popularity" the commonest answer is that "it never existed." The explanation is interesting, running somewhat thus: The President, first of all, was not the voice of the convention that nominated him in 1922. The been a nation-wide contest for delegates, as a result of which Clark attained a majority of votes in the convention on several ballots. The two-thirds rule beat him, and Bryan and other forces made the convention nominate a man who was not its real choice. It was anything but a proof of popularity within the Democratic party. Then came the Republican split, and the election. Wilson seemed certain to win, and therefore might be nominated to be president, thanks to the hand-waward vote. But in fact, he received fewer votes than Mr. Bryan ever received. Likewise no striking testimony of popular strength. Company "K" "372 Infantry. S. P. 179, France American Exped. Forces. November 6, 1918. To the Editor o the Nashville Globe: Dear Sir: Knowing you are well acquainted with a few boys in this company I am sure that you will be glad to put forth your best efforts to inform the people of the "City of Opportunity," the home of Old Company "G" 1st Separate Tennessee Infantry, now seeing service in France. We, the boys that are left of the Old Company "G" are not sending on this article for the benefit of your apprentices but inform the people of what their sons, husbands and sweethearts are doing for the benefit of their nation and the colored race. We know from reliable sources that you don't get the reports of doings of the boys in France under the present circumstances all of the boys are doing fine and have learned to take things as they come and be happy. Our Regiment has been in France seven months, during this time we have had, I might say, a test of the read "stuff," more than that we had a meal of it but after we think of what it is for we are happy and contented. I will try to give you a few facts concerning our regiment which must be guided that no military knowledge may be gained from it. On a certain day in June, after many weeks of hard training, we received orders to move to the front, the place we were eager to go. We had heard much talked of, now we were to experience it. Our first night in the trenches will long be remembered and thinking of what we had heard we did not expect to last long but we pulled through all right, it must be remembered that the Sector that we took over at this time was quiet, known as the "Argonne Forest." We were in this sector quite a while before we received orders to move. Owing to the confinement of that sector we were forced to move where we needed to stretch our limbs. We were expecting a short rest in the rear of the lines but we did not get it. It must be remembered that during this time that "Allies" were in a precarious predicament, owing to this we were nested at another front, to which we were immediately transferred. I must state that during this time we were being transferred on transportation generally known as (T. P. and W.) which simply means walking. We were moved from our Sector to our more vivid in our memory, we being reminded of such by "Fritzs" shell, better known as "Austrial 88 s." and you can bet your life that they are some shells. Having occupied this Sector for a month, now considering ourselves veterans, we were ordered back for a short rest, being relieved one night in July, hiking all night, we arrived at our destination in the morning, taking over a Sector that had been quiet up to the time of our arrival. Oh! yes, and sure you are wondering how our long arm came so are we. It looks dark. I am pleased to inform us must be stated here that we are still you that the Germans have a first class mail system. I must say if you should happen to get his letter, you won't feel like answering it. When we arrived in our new position "Fritz" was kind to us. He wouldn't even trouble us to ask our address but to make us feel at ease, he sent over an airplane and our address and being a very good correspondent he wrote us constantly. I am sure you don't understand that means it is the way we stand it. It means simply as soon as we arrived, they began shelling us they reminded us every day that they were still over there. Occupying this Sector for about a months time, we were again ordered to move, this time to one that was to prove a warm sector. It may seem unusual to the readers of this but it is usual to us. On the line we continued to have our reville and retreat but none of us liked the tune, because it started so suddenly with a screeching sound as it paused, irrelly through the sphere. I think you agree with me when I had been pleased in the "states" with the very best of music were no ways satisfied with this. The enemy vigorously counter-attacked with furiously increased hostility in our progress we were delayed for a while but not driven back, after a short time our advance was resumed, the enemy was driven backward, despite their furious counter-attack. We reached our destination, leaving behind several kilometers or French miles to our gain. We took our objective. The wounded of us did not suffer anything unduly for the Medical Corps was with us and we at at least one victim to the misfortune of war, they were there to administer aid to the wounded and speedily remove them from the field to the place of evacuation. Our mortalities and casualties were light according to the modern destructive warfare. The enemies' loss was very heavy, according to the advantage under which they fought. In the mean time our efforts are their football teams are which was the defensive. We forever crowned with victory. We have good reasons to believe they are recorded in French history. of this military organization has Continued on page 8) FRENCH APPLAUDS COLORED BAND. Wm. E. Stevenson Special Representative of N. N. Pa. gives impressions on closing day of hostilities. "Somewhere in France," November 11, 1918. Mr. Henry Allen Boyd. Nashville, Tenn., Dear Sir—Of course everybody knows that hostilities came to an end today at eleven o'clock and, therefore I shall say nothing concerning the signing of the armistice. However, I cannot resist the temptation of giving you an idea of what happened here when it became known that Germany had laked down her arms. As I rode in a truck crowded with American soldiers, to a town a few miles away from here, all along the way children and old and wrinkled men and women waved their hands and greeted us with cheers of "La guerre est fin!" "the war is ended," and "Vive 'I'America," long live America. It has been said that when you weep you weep alone, but that the world laughs with you. We know that the world has sympathized with France, but I believe, considering what I saw today, that its heart overflowed with joy. Every kind of whistle—steamship, yacht, factory, engine, automobile horns, etc., vied with each other in an effort to announce to the people that the brutal injustices done them by Germany had been avenged and that once more they were to be allowed to live in peace and harm; under their own vine and fig tree. Great numbers of soldiers were relieved from their duties and the streets of the town were choked with thousands of people who yelled themselves hoarse as the parade passed. REV. D. J. HULL, New Editorial Secretary, National Baptist Publishing Board It was deeply impressive to see people from so many countries, though speaking different languages, trying to understand each other. And they did understand, for actions speak louder than words; and the smiles and laughter constituted a language that all spoke. A heavy burden had been lifted from the hearts of many by the valor and bravery of the Allied soldiers, and the feelings of the people were given free rein; even the German prisoners wore a smile that wouldn't come off. As stood and watched this smiling, laughing, happy and surging mass of humans I could hardly realize that I was in beautiful France witnessing a celebration of the end of the greatest of wars; great not only because of the number of men engaged and lost but great also because it had been fought in the name of democracy, the effect of which all men should now feel. In the parade bands of various nations competed with each other in the playing of America and the La Marselliaise, and the only colored band in this vicinity so thrilled the crowd when it played "It's a Long, Long Trail," etc., that it sang the chorus with it. As the walls of night fell and my quarters with our good Chaplain (God bless him, he has worked harmoniously with us in our efforts), the populace seemed to be preparing for another celebration, the time of the end of which no man knew. France, England, Italy, America, etc. have suffered untold agonies—mental and physical and all are happy that this bloody conflict is ended. However, I am sure no nation so highly appreciates the victory as the French, for on her soil, for more than four years, this unprecedented war has been waging. The numberless women—young and middle-aged, garbed in black which one sees everywhere, are a living testimony of the courage and paradoxism of the militias dead. The millions lie buried beneath the sod of the many beautiful memorials of France. Their bodies have been killed but their spirits still live; and the millions of little white crosses which mark their last resting places proclaim to the world that might is not right but that justice must and will prevail. According to a statement of one of the high officials of this country, France has lost 2,500,000 men, a fifteenth part of her population.

I am scarcely yet regarded a practical writer, being yet but a student and not having hitherto made public but few brief articles, and those only in remote circles and on far less important subject matter than this I am writing here to arouse the public's interest in. But international, national and particularly racial relations and welfare have become so complexed and endangered (first) by the evil lust of certain elements of the shrewdest diplomatic American white men—the classes that have been so misled by their closely concealed and cherried mean ideals that they have attempted and are gaining momentum in their organization more organized attempts to sever relation and imprison right of certain races, and (secondly) by the uprising lawless rage of certain biased opinion of abhorring classes that are so much more easily influenced by the careful camouflaged lawless metods than by straightforward policies of civil governmentation, that I cannot hesitate longer to add any hit to this effort of arousing attention of those just, patriotic, well-informed and lawabiding citizens (of every race and laboring or wealthy class) in the graveness of the situation. Although the facts of my argument since the subject treated here is so because of acuteness of the deep should defend my sincerity, yet, delicate and one so broadly neglected rooted evils it concerns and because of the small proportion of the American population that are the defenseless victims of such evils, I wish to assert that my conviction is as infiltrated further herein that accomplishment of the objects of my argument is as vitally important to the white people as to the colored, as much so to one rank of people or secrecy of the court of this country as to the other; and that beneath criticism, therefore, is not in the least bit my object, since, in fact, my hope is to arouse attention and meet with co-operation of (instead of opposing argumental response from) those the whole country over whom are now better prepared than I to accomplish the good object of my argument. Of course, I am not a recognized authority on international, national or racial problems. Neither was Franklin, however, on electricity at time of its discovery. But real evidence facts always demand respect regardless of recognized diplomacy. And, at least so immediately, am capable of observing and relating the such evident and important facts as cited herein, and of so immediately am sure is my duty. A menacing fact of fact here is that the recognized authorities on these matters have been so evident and important wiltfully, neglects the evil and stern criticism necessary to destroy the related dangerous evil developments. It is interesting, but far more alarming, to observe the weakness of the whole man—who is outdoubtedly the highest developed human intellect—in respect of resisting influence of mere evil sentiment. When it is so plainly-evident that the less the colored race of America is robbed of rights, socially abused, scorned, subjected to massacres, deprived of equal opportunity for earnings with same service qualification as the white man, forced to believe that the whites hate rather than owe it for his humble tolerance of these unjust dealings, the more worthy and profitable and pleasing it (the colored race) will be to the whites, one can hardly understand from vince can deny authority to the whites how these conditions to exist if they (the whites are not degenerating instead of progressing in that they profess to respect as civilization. I at least, have observed a common fact evident to anyone that will think—that evil sentiment spreads among whites with far greater rapidity and effectiveness than among the colder race. We have little or no evidence of recognition of this fact by the whites, but there is not one of the cleverest writers that could put up a genuine even interesting argument, with facts, contrary to this fact, if one even would try. This condition is purely a burden to the white and a terror to the colored, American citizens. Then why should it be allowed to exist? If even the whites were benefited, any whatever, the situation would be justly alarming but not so perplexing. But to think, as evidence reveals it, that this national and now apparently international evil is increasing detrimentally to interest and welfare of whites as well as colored races, and that the intelligent whites whom have been looked to for economic and safest civil policies and ideals will neglect (Continued on page 4) ate SR CRB ESSN Mt, SB ER Se Ta rae atta aty et eee tt FOR RELIGIOUS DEFENSE and EDUGATIONAL REDEMPTION eri Wes oe cea aera, See ee eee “its.

SCOTT TO REMAIN AT HIS POST. Secretary Baker Points Out That Problems of Future Are as Numerous and Perplexing as Those of Actual Warfare - Urges Continuation of Services of His Aide and Efficient Special Assistant - Changing Tribute of Helpfulness Paid by George Greene Chairman of Committee on Public Information. By R, W. Thompson Washington, D. C., Dec. 25—The success that has attended the labors of Emmett J. Scott as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War is one of the outstanding features of the participations of the Colored American in the war which is no approuaching a triumphant close, with democracy assured for many of the oppressed peoples of the world. Mr Scott has just finished the first year of his salary apoyo, administration of the great trust him as the official representative of the 12,000,000 colored citizens of the republic. It is conceded upon all sides, and by both races, that the practical results achieved by Mr Scott in his particular and trying field and the intricate problems he has met and so intelligently mastered simply justify the Secretary of War's decision to create the office. Mr. Scott Urged to Remain at His Post. All question as to the tenure of Mr. Scott in his office as Special Assistant in the War Department are effectively set at rest by a recent letter, written to Mr. Scott by the Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, who makes plain his appreciation of the nine services rendered by Mr. Scott during the months that he has been at his side as a helper in the solution of some of the knottiest problems that the War Department has been called upon to face. In the communication referred to Secretary Baker expressed the hope that it will be possible for Mr. Scott to continue his work in the War Department through the period of the demobilization of the troops. The Secretary of War took the view that the problems ahead of us are just as numerous and perplexing as those that have been dealt with during the [Picture of a man] Dr. C. V. Roman of this city who was here for the holidays with his family, but who has for the past few months been giving his time to the War Department, doing special work in stamping out certain diseases in the various cantments and in the army, past year, and indicated that it would be most helpful to all concerned if he could have air. Scott's continued counsel and advice in connection with the import in questions that are bound to arise in the adjustment of the issues o. o. the future. Clowing Tribute Paid by Director of Committee on Public Information A further testimonial of the worth and far-reaching effect of the work that has been carried on by the Speech. Assistant comes from Mr. Geo. Creel, chairman of the Committee o.c. course. Information, in conjunction with whom Mr. Scott has kept the country fully informed as to the activities of the colored people in the courtesies agencies that have been engaged in the whannis of the war. Mr. Creel's letter, which explains itself, is here given: The Committee on Public Information, Washington, D.C. Nov. 27, 1918. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assas- sion to the Secretary of War; plating the work of the Committee on Ocean Information, I wish to write you a very sincere letter of thanks to you very, very real contribution to the cause of National Unity. As Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, I will maintain the morale of the colony you have of the United States you have discharged a delicate task with discussion, the very highest intelligence, and the very greatest devotion to your people and to your country. I can truthfully say that the Committee on Public Information, in its light for unity, has been helped in measurably by you. It has been a pleasure to owe you with you, and a wish to say a very sincere personal word of my deep appreciation. I must be a matter of pride to you know that my portion of the people you have more loyal than the people of your country is of the strength of the war purpose of America has proceeded from the courage and devotion of the colored people. Believe me. Very sincerely (Siguel) George Creel, Chairman. Steady Growth of Bureau the Highest Proof of Usefulness. An unmistakable and convincing proof of the increasing usefulness of the office of the Special Assistant to the Secretary of War is found in the steady growth of the Bureau in scope or responsibility, in volume of address and in the enlargement of its quarters and personnel. From a nucleus of one, the number of persons attached to the office has increased to eight. And the bureau now occupies the choice northwest chambers in the first floor of the State War and Navy Building (Rooms 114114), overlying Pennsylvania avenue and Turtle Scree, formerly the administrative PETER H.

To build them up again, buildings without their furnishings, 6,000,000 days of work will be required, involving an outlay of 10,000,000,000 francs, together with building material. Speaking of the assistance the United States can render France, he says— "I tell you frankly what we expect from you. We want first immediate assistance in the matter of labor. We hope that your technical and other units in France will be able to co-operate in that effort." The colored men of the United States have made a great record over here, both as fighters and "hewers of wood and drawers of water." The stevedores, engineers and labor companies, thousands of the men of which are colored, have done a big "bit" in winning the war. They have unloaded the ships, loaded the trains, built the warehouses, repaired the roads under fire, and kept food and other supplies always on the way to the front. I know of one colored organization that made a record in the removal of freight, and I have been informed that there are others.

Washington, D.C.—Several days ago, when an order by one of the regional directors of the United States Railroad Administration was issued, which order indicated some restrictions as to the employment of colored men on the railroads, there developed among the colored people of the country unusual unrest and dissatisfaction that such an order was issued. The order seemed to be based upon racial prejudice rather than upon fairness to those who were renouncing efficient service. In fact, the colors of the colored people it served as an unstable reflection upon those who were on railroads and the Government and indicated a barrier to those whose services might be needed in the future. Mr. Ernest T. Attwell the colored representative of the United States Food Administration, was the first to call Mr. McAdoo's attention to the discouragement that the order of the regional director had brought to the colored people. Mr. McAdoo as director general of the railroads, investigated the reasons for the issuance of the order, and discovered that while the order was not based on any intended unfavorable reflection upon the colored employees and was meant to be local in its application, it should be withdrawn and rescinded; and this treat enufo rescinded; and this treatment of the order he so directed. It is reported with authority that the railroad officials connected with the issuance of this order were lead to adopt this method in order to allay agitation against the employment of Negroes in railroad service generally, which seems to have developed originally on a northern railroad were organization leaders were inciting their hawaiian attitude on the part of their followers toward working in harmony with Negro employees. As intimated, Mr. McAdoo was not informed of the obstruction of this order until brought to his attention by Mr. Attwell, and in directing the withdrawal of the order Mr. McAdoo is quoted as saying, "It is very important that these delicate problems be dealt with justly and fairly, and it has been my earnest desire and effort, while the railroads are under Federal Control, to give the Negroes the benefit of the same working conditions and wages as white men receive for similar work and to improve, as far as possible the conditions under which Negroes travel on the railroads." This attitude on the part of Mr. McAdoo is highly satisfactory to the colored people throughout the country, and it is to be hoped that such an attitude will be adopted by railroad and other governmental officials on down the line in large numbers, especially as affecting public utilities. MAGDALENE CARTER-HAWKINS Music lovers of Nashville were tended a rate treat at a benefit recital for the Hubbard Hospital last Friday night, when Mrs. Magdalene Carter Hawkins made her initial appearance in this, her home city, to the delight of the immense audience that braved the inclement weather to hear this, one of Nashville's own daughters. A program replete with good things was pulled off. Local talent assisted, but the principal attraction was Nashville's own Magdalene Carter Hawkins. Each number was rendered with that ease and perfection that captivated even the critics. She showed conclusively that she was mistress of her profession. A company herself on the piano, she made easy selection with such satisfaction that the audience went wild with delight. Enormous core compelled her to lengthen out the program. Even though having just finished an extended tour south through the states of Louisiana and Alabama, indisposed from over-exertion on the tour, she did not fall with her pleasing personality to give the audience that seemed more than greedy what they, wanted in every selection. Whether she sang classics or whether it was a jubilee melody or some ditty that was catchy, she was at home. Dr. Josie Wells was mistress of ceremonies, while Dr. S. Caruthers and the Mehairy Quartet, with Miss Elose Lowe, assisted several numbers. Mrs. Hawkins was the first to be Bovid, who told of his observations and rapid progress she had made throughout the south. The proceed of the entertainment were for Hubbard Hospital, under whose auspices Mrs. Hawkins kindly consented to serve. Following the recital, the society element showed their appreciation by the number of functions given in honor of the distinguished visitor. Why Prolong Uncertainty? Proposal to Continue War Legislation for Five Years Unwise Speech of Senator Frank B. Kellog, Minnesota, in United States Senate, Thursday, December, 12, 1918. "MR. KELLOG. Mr. Prident, I send to the desk a communication to Congress sent to the chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee by the Director General of Railroads, and I ask that the same be printed in the Record and Referred to the Committee on Interstate Commerce. I shall not ask the Secretary to read the letter, as I presume most Senators have read it, but I ask unanimous consent to make a few explanatory remarks as to the letter." THE VICE PRESIDENT. Is there objections? The chair hears none. (The letter referred to was the communication of Director General McAdoo, under date of December 11, 1918, to Senator Ellison D. Smith, of South Carolina, Chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee. In which Director General McAdoo advocated the continuance of government operation for four months for five years after the close of the war. At the conclusion of his letter, Mr. McAdoo said: "The President has given me permission to say that this conclusion accords with his own view of the matter." Continuing, Senator Kellog said: Mr. President, this is a most remarkable document, coming as it does immediately or within a few days after the message of the President, in which the President said: The question which causes me the greatest concern is the question of whether I should toward the railroads. I frankly turn to you for counsel upon it. I have no confident judgment of my own. A few days later comes a deliberate well-considered plan, which Mr. McAdoo says is made with the approval of the President, not to keep the railroads for 21 months after the close of the war, but for the President, years to make sure this message frankly said he had no judgment of his own on the subject, but suggested three alternatives: We simply release the roads and go back to the old conditions of private management, unrestricted competition, and multiform regulation by both State and Federal authorities, or we can go to the opposite extreme and establish complete Government control, accompanied, if necessary, by actual Government ownership, or we can adopt an intermediate course of modified private control under a more unified and affirmative public regulation and under such alterations of the law as with permit wasteful or unprofitable to be made and a considerable degree of unification of administration to the effected; as, for example, by regional corporations, under which the railways of defineable areas would be effected combined in single systems. Mr. President, I shall not discuss at length what Congress should do, but it seems to me we ought to do this at least: Congress, through its Committee on Interstate Commerce, ought to take action at once upon a railroad bill. We ought to authorize the railroads to coordinate all their facilities, equipment, terminals, route freight where it can be routed cheapest, and the same with passengers, so as to make most effective the entire transportation system of the United States. But this should be done under strong Government control. We ought to regulate the issuance of securities of railroads engaged in interstate commerce, and we ought to authorize the commission not only to regulate the service of but give the commission power to the railroads in a unified condition, compel them to grant unified and effective service; for instance, that the railroads entering New York shall be authorized to carry Pennsylvania Railroad. I am not going into a discussion of that; I do not wish to take the time of the Senate to discuss this further, but I wish to invite the attention of the Senate to this proposition, which ought to be taken up by our committee and by Congress at once. This is what Mr. McAdoo said in his letter: The war is ended and we are now confronted with the necessity either of legislating intelligently about the railroad problem at this session of the Congress or of promptly returning the railroads to their owners. Then he proceeded to say in the ter that there is no time to legislate at this session of Congress, and that therefore there should be a five year's extension of the period. He says further, in substance, that unless that five-year period is granted the railroads should be turned back at once. Mr. President, the railroads were taken over presumably by the Government—that was the statement, that was war purposes. It was decided that the time that he were taken over to take war Government ownership. Now Mr. McKeldoo says we want five years to make a test. A test for what purpose? Not a test for war purposes, but a test for Government ownership. That is the real bottom of the whole thing. Mr. President, why legislate at this particular three months' session? He says we must have the legislation at this three months' session or we must have an extension. Why not an extra session of Congress? We have had extra session after each session for years, and Congress has been in almost continuous session. Why, with all the important legislation that is coming before the country at the conclusion of peace, including the railroads, should we not have an extra session of Congress after the 4th of March to consider this subject, which Mr. McAdoa says must be considered in the next three months or not at all for five years? I should like to know why. Mr. President, why not be frank? Many of us, or at least some of us, thought that the railroads were taken over for the purpose of inaugurating Government ownership. It was stated, however, that it was a necessity during the war. I, for one, have not condemned the administration of the railroads. I have done everything in my power to make it a success. I did believe that it was the first step toward establishing in this country Government ownership, and the taking over of the telegraph and the telephone and the cable for war necessities after the war was over rather confirmed me in my judgment on that subject. But, Mr. President, we have '21 months after the close of the war, two years, not yet to pass a railroad bill providing for complete Federal control and turning the property back to the owners or else deciding in favor of Government ownership. Now, why not meet the issue frankly and fairly? I believe the reason why they do not wish to meet it now is that they know the people of this country are not in favor of Government ownership, and is likely that Government ownership over under the guise of an extension to make a test of Government control for the period of five years. Congress deliberately acted upon this suspect last winter and fixed 11 months as the period within which legislation might be had for the proper control of the railroads, when it is the back, and see in reason why we should now change 21 months. Mr. President, I know of no reason why we should not proceed at once with this very important question and why we should not frame a bill during this session, and if it can not be passed in the three months, I know of no reason why there should not be an extra session or why it should not be passed at the next session of Congress. We have ample legislation before the 21 months expire. But Mr. McAdoo says the present legislation is entirely inadequate for the operation from now to the end of the 21 months. He does not suggest in what it is inadequate. He has not been to Congress toask for legislation to cure the defects in the act. He says that there is a dispute about the authority of the States and the Federal Government. I say absolutely that the Federal Government has not recognized any State authority whatever, but I am absolutely as the Director General saw fit, without regard to State commissions. I am not complaining of it; I am merely stating it as a fact. Mr. President, as I said before, I am not here to criticize the Railroad administration. The railroads were earning about $4,000,000 per annum when the Government took them over. The rates have been increased about 25 per cent, adding at least a billion dollars to the charges the public has to pay, and I am told that this practically has all been used up, if not more, in increased operating expenses. I am not criticizing it. I have not the figures before me. I simply say I have been told the Government will pay the costs this year of 100,000 in the operation of the enormous increase of rates. We should inquire in to that and see what the result of this operation has been. I do not believe that the American people today are very much in favor of Government operation, judged by the experience that they have had during the war, and I am not on my feet to criticize it, but what we should do now is to take up this important problem, pass some legislation which will make the railroads of the country most effective in carrying the freight and handling the great commerce of this country, and then turn them back to their owners, or else decide for them an investmentment, and this and the uncertainty. Mr. McAdoo says that the 21 months will be a period of uncertainty. Therefore the result he wishes is to increase the uncertainty for five years and have the whole subject in the air at the end of five years. Mr. President, I predict that at the end of five years it will be made absolutely impossible for private ownership again into assume command of the railroads if they desire to do so. If the administration is not in favor of Government ownership, say so now and let us turn our attention to procuring legislation that will be effective. OPEN COMMUNICATION Between Dr. J. A. Jones and Two Public Officies—Mayor Gupton and Judge Madison Wells—Minister Charges Officies With Showing Disrespect for Colored Women. Mr. Editor: The following communication between myself and the city officials will explain itself. I wish to say as a preface to these publications, that I have but one object in calling attention to the Mayor and City Judge to this infraction of common justice; and that is, I would like for those who have handled the laws, to know that it sometimes happens that respectable Negroes, as well as respectable white people, have business in a court orom during a trial; and that when unspake language is permitted in the presence of women, though they be colored, that we resent it with all our souls, just like white men do. Letter to the Mayor. Hon Wm. Gupton, Mayor Nashville, Tenn. Dear Sir: In company with another minister, I awas present in the City Court, Monday, December 9th, when the case of a Negro criminal was called for trial. You were also present. We, together, listened to the testimony of a high peace officer. I was shocked beyond measure, at the vile, filthy language used by that officer in the presence of women. I did not know that a white man was capable of such conduct, and cannot yet understand it, unless it is presumed that Negro women are regarded by white men as being no higher than the average man, because this outrage was committed in a court room where white men have absolute control, and in the presence of both the Mayor of the city and the whom seemed to take cognizance of Judge of the City Court, neither of the offense, or appeared to consider that an offense had been committed at all, against common decency. I think you will agree with me when I say that if a single white woman had been present in that court room, that officer would not have dared to use such unspeakable language. It will also be remembered, Mr. Mayor, that there was nothing connected with the case to warrant a WOLCHELL HAIR SALVY on the Hair It is pure and harmless to the scalp guaranteed to clean the scalp and to grow the "Worst Stubborn Hair into Long Iusture Silk Hair."

Rev. J. A. Jones, Nashville, Tenn. "Dear Sir, Replying to your communication of the 10th in regard to an occurrence that took place in the City Court Dec. 9th, will say I have no recollection of anything out of the ordinary taking place on the day in question. I have attended several sessions of the court, and have heard evidence given by both white and black, male and females, that was anything but uplifting. This no doubt happens in any court of this charace and in any other court of color. The officer usually states the facts that are necessary for the judge to give an intelligent decision. Letter to Judge Madison Wells. Hon. Judge Madison Wells. City Court, Nashville, Tenn. Dear Sir: It was my privilege to be present in your court Dec. 9th, when the case of a Negro criminal was called. I have witnessed a number of court scenes, but for the first time in my life did I hear a witness repeat such language in the presence of women, as my arresting officer used in testifying before a court of justice. I did not know such language was allowed in a court room, even though nobody was present but men. I aws shocked beyond measure at the use of such language in the presence of the women of my race. In this, I suppose, I felt just like a white man would have felt had a Negro been guilty of such conduct in the presence of white women. We saw the mayor of the town, who was present, and the judge of the court permit the use of language in open court that was unprintable. I do not think that there was anything connected with the case to warrant that officer in presuming that the colored women who were looking in his mouth when he used this vile language, were not respectable and decent. It might be that he does not consider any Negro woman respectable or decent. Judge, we as a race, resent these insults with all our souls, even though they are committed in the name of justice. "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."—Prov. 29:2 Your humble servant, I A JONES I do not quote Judge Wells' reply, it being quite a lengthy document. I will say, however, that it is a respectable instrument; it did not touch the real point at issue—the use of the vile, filthy language in the presence of colorew women. I insist still that it was not necessary in that case for the witness to repeat the language, verbatim, in order to have a "white man's justice" meted out to that prisoner. I admit that there are times when it may be necessary for the exact language of an individual to be repeated in a trial, but in such cases the court room is cleared of females or minors, as the case may be. As to the Mayor's reply, it is passing strange to me that he could not recollect anything "out of the ordinary" taking place that day in the court room. If that was a sample of the court scenes, then I say, Lord have mercy upon our city courts. CARD OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

THOMPSON PRAISES THE GLOBE Washington, D. C., Dec. 19, 1918. Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Tenn. Dear Brother Boyd: Your "Victory Number" of the Nashville Globe is a splendid production, credible alike to the intellectual forces who have put it over, and to the mechanical genius who have given form and visible body to the thought and erudition of the editorial staff.

WOMEN OPEN HEAD QUARTERS IN WASHINGTON Will Cooperate with National Committee in Organization and Policies. Washington, D. C.—One of the most important political developments of the closing days of a year marked by important political developments is the announcement of the organization of the Republican Women's National Executive Committee, and the opening of their National Headquarters at 1,623 H Street, this city, Mrs. Medill McCormick, wife of United States Senator elect Medill McCormick, of Illinois, is chairman of the committee. "The purpose of organizing a Republican Women's National Executive Committee," said Chairman Hays, of the Republican National Committee, when asked concerning the movement, "is to act with the Republican National Committee in planning ways and means of making certain the fullest possible participation by Republican women in the party's affairs."

It will include offices for the committee, although serving primarily as a club roo mfr Republican women living in or visiting in Washington, all of whom are urged to make the fullest possible use of it. The rooms will give a touch of home life to humbleds of women now engaged in "war work" in Washington, affording them facilities as a meeting place for themselves and their friends. The committee expects to establish a bureau of information, to which Republican women of any part of the country are invited to write for information on party and public affairs. The first work to which the committee will address itself will be that of organization, not only to suffrage States, but in every state of the Union. Emphesis is placed on the fact that the women are not to be organized separately. The plan is to co-operate with the Republican Na-na, and assist him in perfecting his organization, to include women, so that in meeting the reconstruction problems and forming the policies the party may have the benefit of the women's advice and assistance. DR. CLAXTON ON COLORED SCHOOLS Washington, D. C.—The Commissioner of Education, a Southern man, issues an official statement of the war time needs of colored schools A few are widely known and well supported; and more have an assured, though in adequate income from denominational and private sources. "But," to quote Dr. Claxton, "many of the best private schools, including especially the effective small schools of the industrial type, are independent in character, and have no income except from donations."

At the same time the high cost of living, and government calls for helpers at a living wage, have deprived these schools of many of their best teachings over the years "from sheer devotion to the work, served for small salaries." These schools, "both of the academic and the industrial type, need money urgently; not only for the necessary work they have been doing for years, but to provide the special training impressively needed for large numbers of colored people in the war emergency"—and in the no less exigent emergency of world construction following peace. The Bureau of Education lists, in Bulletin 1916, No. 38-39, all colored schools with descriptions and recommendations. The Bureau will gladly supply information to any one who is interested. The prosperity of big business and big development largely depends, and especially in the South, on the character, training and efficiency of our military or colored workers and citizens. THE BLACK MAN STOOD PAT. The war did more for the Negro American than had been accomplished in several decades of peace. He demonstrated that he could fight, that his willingness and capacity for work were unlimited; that he could easily adapt himself to strange surroundings, and that he understood the purpose of Liberty Bonds, which he almost invariably bought until it actually and positively "hurt." One of the most glorious things that happened to the Negro, however, was the revelation of his absolute unshakable loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. Evidence adduced before the Senate committee now sitting shows that German propagandists failed miserably in their efforts among the blacks. That they operated principally among the plantation Negroes of the South and there made no headway whatever is significant. It is a splendid tribute to the Americanism of the Negro. It might be supposed that among men and women who are not regular readers of the newspapers, who trust to the "grapevine," which makes a wireless station of every cabin, for most of their information, the fairy tales of the German agents would find fortile ground. But the Negro stood pat. "You have no country," was an insidious remark that was dinned into his ears night and day. "You'll never get your Liberty bind money back," was another "You'll get forty acres of land if the Germans win." they were told. And they were assured that victory for the "humane" Germans meant an end of all hanging and instant levelling of all social lines in the United States. Many white "intellectuals" in the North succumbed to sophistries and lies, but those black millions did not. Their hearts proved pure gold and they stood by Uncle Sam. The secret service needed no special trains for Negro excursions to internment camps. It is that same inborn spirit of loyalty to the government that has prevented the I. W. W. from gaining converts among the blacks of the South, no matter how poor they are or how unjust their position economically. The southern Negro who remained at home to till the field was proud of his part in the war. He was quick to realize a situation which he expressed thus: It is true that he often takes advantage of this supposed simplicity as a convenient camouflage in an argumentative pinch.

All adjourned, singimom-Bye." his brethren objected, and this precipitated a long discussion. They agreed in the committee rooms and their chairman reported the same, but it seems that the unincorporated commission unanimously adopted the report of the sub-committee, that the incorporated brethren got nervous and seemed to censure themselves for having accepted all that they said they would be willing to do, all that they had been asked to do, because they had not asked more and they could never agree from that hour among themselves on what they wanted or what they were willing to do in order to have peace and reunion. However, the incorporated brethren found only one way out of the peace and re-union, and that was by demanding that the unincorporated commission show legal authority to bind the Publishing Board to carry out the agreement to submit to conventional control. They were wise enough it seems to know what effect such an agreement would have on the present lawsuit against that Board. Therefore, E. C. Morris, Dr. W. H. Moses, Dr. E. W. D. Isaac led the commission in an uncompromising debate that one item or there would be no peace with this was done over the pleadings of the venerable Dr. A. R. Griggs and the scholarly Dr. C. H. Parrish and many others of their following to adopt the report and leave the Publishing Board out. The unincorporated commission led by Dr. E. P. Jones, after having adopted the report of the commission in toto, insisted that it was unfair and unreasonable to ask them to jeopardize the interests of the National Baptist fendants in an ouster suit, by making them a party to this peace movement, when in act of the charter at the incorporated brethren, the lawwares, Dr. Were Publishing Board who are unwilling the only barriers to peace. Dr. Jones insisting that the National Baptist Publishing Board's property belongs to the Negro Baptist of America, thus they own it, and that the unincorporated National Baptist Convention controls it as far as the law will allow and his convention desire to go. Dr. Mullins showed that the white commissars had held a meeting and he presented a document to be considered as a basis of reunion. His document also had in it a provision which effected the status of the Publishing Board, a copy of which was given to each commission, assembled forthwith in separate room, under the same. In a few minutes Chuck Woods of the unincorporated Publishing Board ed that they had voted NO on the proposition submitted by Dr. Mullins; Chairman Fuller announced that they had voted YES on those commissiones, there being no agreement by the two commissions the report of the sub-commission was taken up and discussed until a very late hour at night. Dr. Gambrell asked the commission to allow him to retire in order to get a much needed rest. He was given a rising vote of thanks for his services. Dr. Allen Fort, pastor of the First Baptist Church (white) was elected chairman. He kindly accepted and the discussion continued until it was finally discovered that the incorporated commission had repudiated the report of the sub-committee and would accept and reinforce that left out a legal requirement that the Publishing Board would be bound by their decision. A motion was offered to adjourn, and at eleven o'clock at night the joint commission adjourned sine die, Dr. E. C. Morris calling his commissioners to meet Friday morning and Dr. E. P. Jones Friday morning for the purpose for the National Baptist Theological Seminary located at Nashville, Tenn. --- Assembling at 9:00 a.m. m., at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, devotionals having been conducted by Rev. Wm. Johnson, the commissioners of the National Baptist Convention unincorporated, were elated, and using the language of Dr. C. H. Clark, "This to me is an Inspiring and happy hour, my heart is filled with joy as I think of the splendid victory and achievements that have come to our denomination through divine guidance of the spirit." Expressions similar were made by Drs. J. F. Thomas of Chicago, Ill., Rev. O. R. Harper, President E. P. Jones, Rev. C. C. Caldwell, Dr. J. W. Hurse. The meeting then adjourned to convene in the chapel at the Publishing House. The committee met at the great host and the strong eldest and brilliant over the fact that a rejection of the peace terms as well as union had been done by the brethren of the incorporated convention, and because nothing remains now but to promote every interest of the unincorporated convention. Dr. J. L. Harding, president of the Tennessee Convention, spoke enthusiastically. Hearty cheers followed his remarks. He pledged $3000 from Tennessee at Norfolk.

Some Have Had no Pay From Government for Many Months—Wounded Are Penniless—Hundreds Landed at Hospital Forced to Become Objects of Charity. Washington—With thousands of troops returning weekly to the United States since the signing of the armistice, it has been learned that in many instances soldier's are arriving on this side, financially stranded, due to the failure of the Government to send their pay. Some of the men have not been paid for several months and are literally penniless. Others have merely missed connection with last pay, but are in nearly as bad shape. This condition was severely criticized in Congress by Representative Mann Republican minority leader, when he said: "I think the department ought to pay the men who are in the army now up to date. I have a telegram here from West Baden, Ind., which reads as follows: "Several hundred wounded men arrived at West Baden Hospital. A large number are without any funds and say they have had no pay for many months. Cannot some plan be put in operation to give them money when they disembark?" "I will send a card to send wounded men clear from the city of disembarkation to Southern Indiana money due them for months and not a cedent to them. The War Department has informed me that if I would have telegraphed to them the names of the men they would endeavor to pay them. I cannot do that. It is their business. A wounded man in a hospital cannot be expected to run after the master to get his pay. It is the duty of the miller to look after him. I hope they will be brought to realize their duty in the matter." Representative Sherley of Kentucky said he had made suggestions to the military authorities and to the Red Cross as to plans which would keep the soldiers in money who had not received the pay due them, _but that these suggestions evidently had not been carried into effect. "I agree," he said, "that there is no visible excuse for any large number of people happening Here and there, of course, they are bound to occur, but the system ought to be such as to make numerous cases impossible." Washington, D. C., Wednesday. Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee, has established what he describes as "listening post" in California, which is regarded as the first step in a complete national organization. The California move was preceded by a gathering of Coast State leaders, which indicates that the breach in California, which is generally regarded as having cost Charles E. Hughes the last Presidential election, is being healed. The establishment of the California "listening post" is the first step in a decentralization of authority and is a radical change from the old method, which insisted on holding control in the East and directing all political activity from that point. Successful in Indiana. Mr. Hays, because of his Indiana record, is regarded as a thorough organizer, and this is viewed as the first application of the "Indiana" method of having so complete an organization that it will reach into every precinct. The headquarters of the Republican National Committee, which will be established at San Francisco, will be presided over by Ray Benjamin, Deputy Attorney-General, who has resigned that post to assume the new duties. It is announced that the purpose is "not a direct party activity in the Coast States, but to receive advice and information and maintain close touch with Republican sentiment in the Coast States." Mr. Benjamin will keep in touch with Republican activities in California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Coast Senators Attend Dinner. Among those present at the dinner given by Mr. Havs last night were Senator Hiram Johnson and Representat- ives John E. Els and Henry O. Osborne and Berry J. Osborne and California; Senator William E. Borh and Representatives Burton L. French and Addison T. Smith of Idaho; Senators Charles L. McNaby and Fred W. Mullley and Represent- atives Willis C. Hawley, Nicholas J. Shnutt and Clifton N. McArthur of Oregon; Senator Wesley L. Jones and Representatives John F. Miller Lindley H. Hadley, Albert Johnson and William L. Latofelle of Wash- ington. Senator Poindexter was absent because of a prior engagement. Exhibiting the purpose of this new organization, Chairman Havs responsibilities that the Republican party is now thinking. The Republican party is the party of the future. Our performances of the last fifty years are the best guarantee to the country of our future fulfilment, but we must also ensure that our usefulness will depend. - New York Herald. REPUBLICANS ADOPT BEGIONAL CONTROL. Will Establish Three or Four Big Interstate Campaign Headquarters—First in San Francisco—"Listing Posts" as Clearing Houses for Reports to National Chairman. Special Dispatch to The Sun . Washington, Dec. 11—Instead of complete control of the machinery of the Republican party by the Republican Party, we developed today for regional direction of campaigns and party affairs, it will be accepted and immediately put into effect. Chairman Hays of the National Committee suggested the plan to Senate and House leaders today and most of them were enthusiastic. The first move will be to establish headquarters in San Francisco for California, Nevada, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. The head of the new Pacific Coast regional headquarters will be Ray Benjamin. Deputy Attorney-General of California, who came to Washington with Mr. Hays today. No More "Abenteuse Landlordism." In the view of the Chairman Hays the former system of campaign direction and general supervision of party affairs from central headquarters in the East has had the effect of localizing rather than broadening the campaign activities. It has resulted in sectional party antacommunion, in the assertion by leaders in the more remote communities, that the party has been run on the "absentee landlord theory," through which national appreciation of local problems has failed to develop to a point where the national organization could help out the local defenders, and in such suicidal blunders as the 1916 Presidential campaign in California, Kansas and the intramountain region. Mr Hays advocates development, through three, or at most four, regional party headquarters, under the general supervision of the national chairman, of a system of political clearing houses. The problems within the party organization, the differences arising between leaders, will be studied at first hand by the regional directors and the results of this scrutiny and recommendations as to the policy to be pursued can be referred directly to Chairman Hays. Will Be "Listening Posts." The regional headquarters will be come "listening posts," to quote Mr Hays, and from these points conditions will be reported in full authorization. Importantly, the party's policy, Mr Hays said today, in regard to the era of reconstruction and readjustment which the nation is entering must be the natural development of the party's war policy. He said. "Just as during the war every party activity was directly toward the achievement of victory In the shortest time and the most convincing manner, the beginning of the season of peace should be marked so that the Republican party will be cerned by the expression in every party move of a single-hearted effort for the welfare of the nation and the making permanent of the new won peace. "The Republican party must come before the country with a forward stepping, as well as backward stepping, as which will measure its steps to the needs of the republic."—New York Sun. REPUBLICANS OPEN OFFICES FOR WESTERN STATES. San Francisco to Be Regional Headquarters of G. O. P. of Pacific Coast—Conference of Leaders—All Confident That "Listening Post" Will Great Benefit Party. Washington, D. C.—The Republican National Committee announces the establishment of regional offices of the committee in San Francisco, in charge of Raymond Benjamin, present Republican chairman of California. The purpose of these offices is to place the national organization and party in closer and more intimate touch with Republican activities in the Pacific Coast section, and to*insure the Republicans of that section opportunity of greater in the party of the party. The San Francisco offices, under Mr. Benjamin, will aid in the activities of the party organization in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho Nevada and Arizona. Questions arising in that section will be studied first-hand by Mr. Benjamin and his associates and the results of their investigations, together with recommended, will be referred to Chairman Hays of the national head in Washington. Chairman Hays himself plans to spend some time at the San Francisco offices. This popular innovation was announced after a conference in Washington between Chairman Hays and Republican leaders of the Pacific Coast section. All were enthusiastic in their approval of the idea and only the details remained to be worked out. Those attending the conference were Senator Jenkins, and Representatives Henry J. Kahn, John E. Elston and Henry Z. Oborne, all of California; Senator William E. Borah and Representatives Burton L. French and Addison T. Smith, of Idaho; Senators Charles L. McNary and Fred W. Mukley and Representatives Willis C. Hawley, Nicholas J. Snitton and Clifton N. McArthur, of Oregon; Senators Miles Poindexter and Wesley L. Jones and Representatives John F. Miller, Lindley H. Hadley, Albert Johnson and William L. Lafollette of Washington. Mr. Hays said, speaking at the conference in regard to the era of reconstruction and adjustment which the nation is enating, must be the natural development of the party's war policy. Continuing he said; "Just as during the war every party activity was directly toward the achievement of victory in the shortest time and the most convincing manner, the beginning of the season of peace should be marked, so far as the Republican party is concerned, by the expression in every party move of a single-hearted effort for the welfare of the nation and the making permanent of the new-won peace. before the country with a forward stupping, as well as a forward-looking programme, which will measure in steps to the needs of the republic. "By our opportunities are our responsibilities measured. It is of our responsibilities that the Republican party is now thinking. The Republican party is the party of the future. Our performances and the last fifty years are the most quantity of the country of our future fulfillment, but it is only on our future fulfillment that our usefulness will depend." It is confidently believed that the establishment of what "Chairman Hays calls "a listening post" on the Pacific Coast will result in added zest to the interest and activities of the Republicans in that section and added efficiency to the party organization at large. It is estimated that if the Republican party implements other regional offices may be established. Mr. Benjamin opens the San Francisco office at once, resigning as Deputy Attorney-General of California in order to give all his time to his new duties. EDITORIAL, NEW YORK EVENING BORT, DECEMBER 12, 1918 Mr. McAdon's Railroad Plan The first thing that strikes me since in Director-General McAdoo's urging an extension for five years of Government operation of the railroads is the evidence it yields of confused counsels and of uncertainty on the part of the Administration. On December 1 the President went before Congress and spoke on the question of "the policy to be adopted toward the railroads." He said: "I have no confident judgment of my own. I do not see how any thoughtful man can have." He added that it was a problem to be carefully looked into, and he hoped that Congress would have "a complete and impartial study. . . . . . . . . . . instituted at once and prosecuted as rapidly as possible." That was on December 1. But on December 11 Mr. McAdoo issues a far-reaching and sub-bodied statement: "The President has given me permission to say that this conclusion accords with his own view of the matter." Mr. Wilson's conversion from open doubt to entire certainty must have been rapid. To adapt the old couple, betwixt the White House and the ship he mercy sought and mercy found. As Mr. McAdoo is to cage being Director on General on the first of January, it might have been thought that he would leave recommendations of general policy to his successor. But let that pass. There is a pressing emergency, according to Mr. McAdoo requiring Congress to act. It is certainly a kind of emergency reasoning which he offers. He starts off by assembling a list of the three months remaining of this session, will find it "impossible" to settle the railroad question permanently. Therefore, it must do a piece of hurried patchwork. This does not necessarily follow. The new Congress might be called in extra session to do the job deliberately and thoroughly. But Mr. McAdoo, with his confident "either-or" logic, declares that only three courses are open: (1) to let threes alone for a couple or years; (2) to turn back the railroads at the end of the year. For five years. But it does not need President Wilson's "thoughtful" vision to see that these alternatives do not by any means exhaust the possibilities. The present system of Government control, which Mr. McAdoo admits is not working well, may be improved. Plans may be made to return the roads to private ownership under modified legislation. The McAdoo five-year period is purely arbitrary; it might be made three years, or six, or ten, so far the few of them would be made. For example you much the appearance of a man who had made up his mind that a certain thing ought to be done, and then cast about for arguments to justify it. This is commonly called begging the question. The more Mr. McAdoo's presentation of his case is examined, the more perplexing and inconclusive it appears. He describes the existing legislation as inadequate. It admits of unhappy conflicts between Federal and State authorities. Moreover, the state authorizes "federal" conflicts provided by Congress is not large enough. There should be minor amendments to the law, and more money voted. But to do this Congress will find it "impossible" in its crowded short session, Mr. McAdoo states, and then calmly suggests that it do the vastly easier thing of agreeing offhand to a five-year Federal contract, and imposing $2,000,000,000. This sum from premises to conciliate is tremendous. It is equally hard to understand Mr. McAdoo, and just as difficult to follow him, when he passes to the subject of the psychology of railway employees. One aspect of their state of mind, under Government operation, he does not mention, though thousands of shippers and other railway patrons have remarked it. We mean their general setting, but because of their difference, their instantiation to duty. It is, in a word, the "blight" of Government control, of which Mr. Hughes has been speaking. The Director-General does not appear to have observed this, but he comes out strong on the restlessness and relaxing discipline of the men employed on the railroads, owing, Mr. McAdoo alleges, to their uncertainty how long Government operations will continue, and what their future status may be. If this is true, and the railway is not doing any work in order to organize debating societies, an order from the Director-General would seem to be called for. But Mr. McAdoo's proposed remedy is quite other. Assure the employees of five years more under the Government, and they will instantly stop talking about wages and hours and privileges and propeets, becoming instanter highly efficient. Anybody—except a retiring Director-General—who will believe this will believe anything. And as for Mr. McAdoo's grave assertion as to why he would take the railroads "out of politics" it is hard to imagine a plan which would keep them longer and deeper in politics. Many of the considerations advanced by Mr. McAdoo are of undoubted force. There is a concensus of intelligent opinion that the railroads ought not quickly to go back to private control. Action by Congress will undoubtedly be necessary to prevent the "disservice" of returning to "the old conditions unmodified." But all this only heightens the unwisdom of attempting such short-cuts as Mr. McAdoo advises. To turn a blind eye upon complexity does not make it simplexity. And hasty improvisations of policy, no matter from what sources, can never be a satisfactory substitute for patient study and cautious experiment. One-Man Administration Seventeen months after he took office the war broke over Europe. It was long enough for Mr. Wilson to make apparent that he was to be a one-man administration. Toward the war he maintained a policy of aloofness long after the body of intelligent opinion had become convinced that aloofness was impossible. He did not prepare. He wrote letters about the Lusitania, instead of intelligence, and led public opinion toward the same recognition, he refused to see the inevitable, or to admit it after he had seen it. He was a candidate for re-election in 1916, and made his campaign on the argument that he had "keen us out of awr," and therefore could be expected to continue keeping us out; yet things that have since become public property make it impossible to be love that he expected, if elected, to maintain the peace for many months. Had his attitude toward the war prior to the 14th election been a vigorous campaign, he calculated for what was coming he might have been re-elected by an emphatic majority, as a war president. Instead, he barely was on a fluke, as a peace president—and then promptly took the country into war. The pacifists were angry because they had been misled; the war party, when it knew the whole situation, was displeased that we had not prepared and got into the struggle earlier. All this did not make for popularity. Being at last in the war the administrative management of it for more than a year did not command confidence. The aircraft, ordinance, and agreement, offset the administration's claim to recognition for much of useful work—such as the selective service. Prejudice grew up against too much southern domination of the government. Kitchin, Dent, Clark and others were loads for the party to carry. A Surprise for the Democrats Despite it all, the great army was sent to Europe, and in the glamour of military successes abroad the political campaign at home opened. It looked to most Democrats like a walkover for their party. As the campaign advanced it became increasingly apparent that the party was somehow weak when it had expected to be strong. People were looking behind the events of the battlefields; they had the earlier record in mind, and were not lining up for the party. Missigvills developed into panic, and in response to many urges the President wrote the unfortunate appeal for election of a Democratic Congress. Along with this, and likewise unfortunate in its effect on the public mind, was the correspondence with Germany, preliminary to the armistice. "Last in war, first in peace" was a vicious gibe; but it reflected the bitterness widely felt that the President should have lent himself to the purposes of the central powers when they were near collapse. People harked back to the anti-war attitude of the President during the first half of the struggle; to failure to prepare either public morale or military material—and they did not like it. Democrats hoped to the end that the curious superstition about the President's great personal strength with the country would be justified in the results. There really was never any basis for that superstition. The convention of 1912 did not show him strong with his party; the election of that year counted fewer votes for him than Bryan ever polled; the 1916 election was saved by a fals issue and fluke; and not the election of 1918 did the thwartful career come to a test of a fair tryout before the people, with issues clear and no advegettions circumstances intervening to prevent disaster. A series of accidents had given rise to the tradition of the Wilson popular hold, which, in truth never existed. One straightout test on a record and a set of plain issues proved it had never existed. And that is, very roughly outlined the explanation the politicians are giving for the Wilson collapse. DEMOBILIZATION PRACTICES IN VITE LABOR TROUBLES. . . Soldiers Being Discharged in Large Cities "Broke" and Without Jobs. New York—Unemployment is the greatest danger confronting the United States during the next four months, the labor reconstruction conference of the Academy of Political Science was told at its meeting here by Nathan A. Smyth, assistant director general of the United States employment service. Thousands of soldiers are being discharged daily, he said, at the beginning of winter, when outdoor jobs are few; wartime plants are being closed; warfare of army cancellations of contracts, and manufacturers are being closed; more labor are because of uncertainties of taxation high prices of materials and "limid it" of credit. Eventually, Mr. Smith said, the problem of placing America's soldiers and war workers will be solved through an abnormally high emigration of Europeans to their native lands, the probability that immigration will continue to be slight, and especially by co-operation of American agencies in connecting jobsmen with manless jobs. He warned the members of the conference, however, that these agencies could only enable men to find open jobs, and could not create work. "Soldiers are being discharged by the thousands daily, on the basis of military units, with no reference to whether or not they are now needed in industry," said Mr. Smith. "They are being mustered out on a few days' notice and given in money the cost of transportation to their homes, free to buy tickets wherever they are allowed. In the cities, 'broke' away from home, without work, applicants for civilian relief. There is every prospect that unless remedial measures are promptly taken the sight of stranded, moneyless soldiers will be common throughout the land." THE GREATEST SINGLE HORROR PERPETRATED IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY. Atlanta, Ga.—"The massacre and deportation of the Christian Armenians is characterized by Henry Morganthau, former United States Ambassador to Turkey, as "the greatest single horror ever perpetrated in the history of humanity." The former Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, if his report to the State Department also also stated politically that the deportation of Armenians was carried out on orders issued by the Turkish government." "The Turkish authorities had stopped all communication between the provinces and the capital in the naive belief that they could consummate this crime of the ages before the outside world was aware of it." declared Mr. Morganthau, "but the information filtered through. It came from consuls, from missionaries from foreign travellers and even from Turks. We soon learned that orders entire Armenian population, and the had been issued to the governors of the provinces to send into exile the entire Armenian population, and the had been issued with a few exorcisms carried out these instructions. All the able bodied men had either been drafted into the army, or disarmed. The remaining people, old men, women and children, were subjected to the most cruel and outrageous treatment." "Pew nations have suffered as much," says Morganhan. Carefully prepared estimates based on reports that have come to the Committee from every part of the Near East show that there are 35500 age-proportionate men in large proportion of them in exile. The capitulation of Turkey has made accessible to the Committee this great mass of suffering humanity. Thousands of women and children are dying every day from actual starvation. One of the greatest difficulties Relief Workers have experienced is being unable to identify themselves sufficiently fed, to bury those who die of starvation. "The American Committee for Armenian and Serian Relief will conduct, from January 12th to 19th a nation-wide campaign to raise $30,000,000 for the relief and dehabilitation of the starving and destitute people." St. Matthews Church under the leadership of Rev. Sister Mitchell is indeed alive both spiritually and financially. The woman as pastor, is a great wonder for indeed she is leading her flock as their shepherd. Under her direction the church is being beautified to that end that the whole country will be proud of it. On the first Sunday Rev. Johnson, P. E. made his first visit here this conference year. He was delighted with the reception given him and his amount was raised in full, turned over to him the cash and had left $12.00 for her the pastor. Then on last Sunday, December 15th, a rally had been planned for her by ten queens and ten kings. A large crowd was present both day and night, and the queens and kings raised for pastoon $200.00 (two hundred dollars). Soon she will take her question for 60 days not to go home with her that she shall not go to home with an empty ticket. Now then three cheers for the Tennessee woman pastor. To the one of the queens that raised the largest sum. Rev. Sister Mitchell gave $15.00 in gold and to the king, day night, Dec. 22 by the District teacher Miss Fritz to the queen, Miss Mary Hamilton, to the king, Mr. F. Parks. The young people of Calre and Gallatin are planning a jolly good time for Mr. Robert Lee Mitchell, son of Rev. Sister Mitchell, who will come in January to accompany his mother to their home in Memphis. WOODMONT Mrs. James A.
