HARD FIGHT ON TO OUST MORRIS Philadelphia Odd Fellows Asking What Has Grand Master Done OFFICE HOLDER 22 YEARS Education Is Made That He Seeks to Perpetuate Himself in Office and Force "One Man Rule." DECLARE HE IS AN AUTOCRAT Definitely Charged with Being the Cause of the Order's Retrogression, Financially and Numerically, and with Numerous Violations of the Law. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 26.—The news story in THE AGE of August 13, stating that the members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are asking the Morris administration to account for more than $100,000 has led to further investigations as to the causes which led up to this unhappy condition. Prominent members of the Order are declaring, without hesitation and in most emphatic terms that one of the principal causes has been "One Man Rule." It is alleged that the present grand master, Edward H. Morris, has held various offices and drawn salaries or expenses from the Order for twenty-two years. It is declared that another cause of the present condition is the desire of Morris to perpetuate himself in office, to attain which object he is charged with subordinating the good of the Order and violating its law, since the law plainly states that the grand master is not eligible to succeed himself. Morris' Attitude Insult to Order. Philadelphia Odd Fellows are asking and would like to know what he has done for the Order. It is asserted that he regards himself as the dictator of the Order, which is shown by his acts, that he stands in the way of the Order's progress, as is shown by the decrease financially and numerically during his administration; that he is an enemy of the Order, as is shown by the propositions from his personal lodge to the B. M. C., which seek to take the right of government out of the hands of the members of the Order in this country and place it in the hands of the people in England. Many members are beginning to think that Morris believes only he and the white men, in England are capable of governing and controlling the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. They declare his attitude in this respect is an open insult to every Negra Odd Fellow in America. Charged With Violating Law of Order Along this same line definite charges are made that Morris has openly and brazenly violated the law. Many instances are cited in which it is alleged that the grand master has set autocratic will over and above the laws of the Order. The Baltimore B. M. C. enacted a law creating a commission to revise and codify the laws. Although the Old Fellows' Supreme Court, was appointed to do the work without cost to the Order, the grand master, without authority and without the knowledge even of the S. C. M., hastily compiled what are known as the 1911 edition of laws, charging the Order $300; at the Atlanta B. M. C. a law was enacted providing for a national endowment, but the grand master has done nothing toward enforcing the set; at the same meeting the Old Fellows' Journal and Printing plant was ordered invoiced to Philadelphia, but it has not been done, and the law is made that Morris has kept in Washington so his lieutenant, Shancher, could draw his salary, $100 from the Order as editor, and at the same time draw a salary from the Government Printing Office, where he is employed every day in the week. a violation of the law of the Order; the law states that the last business of the grand master be the election of the grand master saw defen't staring him in the face he adjourn'd staring him that he might continue in office and thus defeat the will of the delegates; the law provides that a majority of votes must decide all questions, when the selecting of a place of meeting for the 17th B. M. C. came before the S. C. M., the grand master unlawfully and tyrannically ruled that he had the right to select the place of meeting, and did over the protest of a majority of the members of the S. C. M.; the law provides that the B. M. C. shall elect a fraternal delegate to England, but no delegate was selected at Baltimore, and Morris, without authority from the B. M. C. went of his own accord, and collected money from the S. C. M. to defray his expenses. And besides, it is alleged, he placed his brother on the Supreme Court of the Order to draw a salary. It is said that a movement is on foot to organize the Philadelphia Odd Fellows an anti-Morris club, with the object of attacking passmass his defeat at the Bostonington. The New York Age MEN ELECT OFFICERS Special to THE NEW YORK ANN. BALTIMORE, Md.-The Colored Business Men's Exchange has elected the following officers: William H. Dodd, president; Joseph Fennell, vice-president; John M. Freeland, secretary, and John H. Mitchell, treasurer. DIRECTOR JONES WARNS ABOUT WOMAN AGENT Eugene Kinckle Jones, associate director of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, has written a letter warning the Negroes of New York and other communities of the operations of one Mrs. Howell, a white woman, who, it is alleged, is trying to raise money to reimburse a wealthy white man for expense incurred in writing a book against the employment of Negro labor in either private or public position. Her alleged object is to present publication of the book and destroy the manuscript. It is thought that she expects to find a sufficient number of gullible Negroes who will be persuaded by her pleasible talk to contribute funds for the carrying out of her alleged purpose. It is useless to say that contributions made for any such foolish purpose will benefit only the person collecting same. ST. LUKE'S COUNCIL MEET·IN BALTIMORE Special to THE NEW YORK AGE BALTIMORE, Md., August 26.—The fiftieth annual session of the Grand Council of the Grand United Order" of St. Luke was held here last week.

DOCTORS AND NURSE HURT IN AUTO MISHAP Special to TU- New York, Agr PETERSBURG, Va., Aug. 25—Dr. Miles B. Jones, Dr. Jane Jones and Miss Mundin, a trained nurse, of Richmond, Va., were brought here, from Dewitt, a small town twenty miles away, suffering from severe injuries received when Dr. Jones' automobile skidded against a railroad track and capsized. The party was en route to the National Medical Association at Raleigh, N. C. The other occupants of the car, Miss Viola Lucas and Robert Battle, chauffeur, were uninjured. The accident occurred at the end of a sharp curve in the road. The front wheel of the machine struck the railroad track and the auto skidded for more than one hundred feet before it turned a complete somersault. The entire party was buried beneath the car, which was a complete wreck. Another car in which were Dr. Ramsay and Ferguson of Richmond, Dr. Geo. Ferguson of Charlottesville, and Dr. W. G. Alexander of Orange, N. J., was following closely behind, but was stopped without an accident. Dr. Ferguson and Dr. Alexander dressed the wounds of the injured and Dr. Ramsey took them back to Petersburg in his car. Dr. Miles Jones was rendered unconscious and received injuries about the head: Dr. Jane Jones received injuries to her shoulder and about the body, and Miss Mundin suffered a severe cut over the eye. AGGREY MAKES GOOD RECORD AT COLUMBIA Prof. J. E. Kwegyir Aggrey, a native of Africa and a prominent member of the faculty at Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C., attracted the attention of Prof. Giddings and others during the session of the summer college at Columbia University by taking issue with the teachers and white students on va- PROF. J. E. KWEGYIR AGGREY rious subjects dealing with the Negro, in which Prof. Aggrey usually came out victor in the argument. Prol. Aggrey, who took a course in sociology, wrote a poem in Latin, entitled "Bene Valeté!" dedicated to the director, teachers and students of Columbia University summer school, which was published on the editorial page of the Columbia Student of August 14, and which was spoken of in complimentary terms by the editors of the Columbia Student, teachers and students. THE MUSICIAN A. THE DRS. ROBERTS SAFE; ARE BACK FROM ENGLAND Returned Last Saturday on Steamship Baltic, with 4,000 Other Passengers Dr. E. P. Roberts, Oldest Brother, Had No Passport, and Was Passed by Immigration Authorities as His Brother Charlie's Son. Among the war, refugees returning from England last Saturday on the steamship Baltic were Dr. Charles H. Roberts, Mrs. Roberts, their daughter Beatrice, and Dr. E. P. Roberts, all of 242 West 53d street, New York City, who went to London July 21 on the steamer Aquatania to attend the sixth International Dental Congress. It was their intention, after attending the sessions of the congress, to make a contingent four, but the outbreak of the war prevented that trip and for a while interfered with their plans to return home, Their return passage had been booked on the Aquitania, but that vessel was commanded by the British Government and converted into an armored cruiser. So the return passage was secured on the Baltic, and along with a lot of wealthy folks, some of them millionaires, they had to take the steerage. The steamer's normal capacity is about 2,000, but under the exigencies of the times fully 4,000 were crowded aboard. A considerable advance over the regular passage had to be paid, because of the increased insurance rates and cost of necessary remodeling of the vessel. E. P. Roberts Passes as Brother's Son. The Roberts party had no trouble in securing passage, as the steamship company served everybody alike, first come first served, but Dr. E. P. Roberts neglected to secure his passports before leaving America, and, was only allowed to board the Baltic after considerable trouble in persuading the English authorities that he was an American, Dr. Chas. H. Roberts had secured passports for himself and family. When the port of New York was reached it was seen that a number of passengers were being sent to Ellis Island, where they would have to remain unifl, their American citizenship, could be established. As his passport read "and family," it occurred to Dr. Charlie Roberts that by passing Dr. E. P. as his son he might avoid being held up. The scheme worked beautifully; and the immigration agents never once suspected that the little chap with the tall doctor was his elder brother instead of his son. Decks Too Crowded for Walking. The passengers crowded the decks to such an extent that promenading was impossible, and as the heat in the steerer was high, the passengers had to slow, when one got to the deck, and see THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1814. INTERED IN THE AGE'S BE from which the Ideal America may be evolved cured a position it had to be maintained almost without moving. Deck chairs were scarce and at premium. High prices were offered to those fortunate enough to secure chairs. Of the thirty chairs on the ship the Roberts party secured five. Many of the passengers had no other place to sleep than on the stairways and in the passages. The steerage passengers were served food at a large table in the "dished out" style. Many of the steerage passengers were made sick by the intense heat, coupled with the smell of the food. By the use of liberal tips to the waiters food was secured by some from the first-class dining rooms. Dogs-With Fleas Constitute a Nuisance The trip was pleasant as a rule, the good nature of the passengers and the good feeling manifested by all making the trip more beacable than it would otherwise have been. The most disagreeable feature of the trip was caused by a crowd of about 150 Irishmen, all with dogs, and all the dogs covered with lea. There were a bunch of bigpipers on board also, and to one unaccustomed to the sound the noise was an affliction. While in London Dr. Charles H. Roberts carried out the main object of his trip by addressing the dental congress on the subject-of "Some Observations on the Teeth of the American Negro." Many of the papers on the program were only to be read if time permitted, but Dr. Roberts' paper was one of six to be read readess of time. He was given a tremendous ovation. The English dentist made speeches deploring the curtailing of the sessions of the congress because of the war, and responses were-made by representatives from the various countries. Dr. C. H. Roberts responded for the United States. Among the social functions attended while in London were a reception at the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, on Friday, August 7, given by members of the congress; a reception at the College in Lincoln's Inn Fields, Wednesday, August 5, by the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and a garden party on August 7.

Four Sons in the Johnson's Family; They Own Property Worth Thousands and an Up-to-date Automobile; Oldest Is Choirmaster at Mother Zion. Although the homes of some families visited by THE AGE representative in his investigation of housing and economic conditions were found to be crowded in 100 few rooms, this is accounted for by the high rent and the low wage of the wage earners. Other families have made progress in spite of all difficulties. Richardson Building New Casino. R. Harper Richardson, 428 Lenox avenue, is founder and proprietor of the Palace Casino, 14-28 East 135th street, a large structure 200 by 100 feet, with dancing capacity of 176 feet by 40 feet, and with 250 boxes. The building was erected at a cost of $80,000. The dancing space will be larger than any dance hall in Harlem. The interior will be decorated with Chinese stenciled leather in various scenes and portraits, among which will be Booker T. Washington's. Mr. Richardson superintends the building, which is being erected according to his own ideas. The dance hall will open October 15. The building, when fully completed, will contain five stories and will have lodge rooms, gymnasiums and offices. Mr. Richardson saved $45,000 in 16 years when he was buffet man on the N, Y. C., and H. Railroad. All this was not made in the railroad service. His money was turned over in the wise buying and selling of several harbor shops. With capital thus obtained Mr. Richardson opened the Palace, Hall, 51st street and Seventh avenue, and the New Central Hall, 116 West 53d street. The Palace, Casino is his last undertaking. Mr. Richardson has one daughter, Margaret, age 5. His sister, Miss Minnie Richardson, looks after the child and the large private house. Bert Richardson, brother of Harper Richardson, lives in the same house. Other roomers are Ambrose Mathews, who is a student of the tailors' trade; A. J. Dempsep, hellboy at the Marlborough Hotel, Broadways; Joseph Martin, Will Allen and Hubert Teehabarria. The house rents for $25 a month. A Family of Partners. Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Fernandez and son, George, age 17, occupy apartments at 30 West 136th street. Mr. Fernandez is a cigar maker employed for five years at 15 Avenue A. He earns on an average $3 a day. The son, George, Special to THE NEW YORK ACK Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 25.—A rather unusual thing happened in Montgomery recently. The white business league, composed of the leading bankers, merchants and professional men in the city of Montgomery, a few days ago selected a committee of leading citizens to go to Washington for the purpose of, conferring with the officials in Washington regarding an appropriation covering the improvement of waterways in Alabama and the securing of funds with which to market the present cotton crop. Before completing the list of delegates to go to Washington, the white business league conferred with the colored local league and asked the colored league to select a delegate or delegates to go with members of the white league to Washington. The colored league complied with this request and selected Dr. W. F. Watkins, who left on the same, train with the white delegates and is now in Washington performing his duties in connection with the object of the trip. ST. LUKES HAVE 38,000 MEMBERS RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 25.—The forty-seventh annual session of the Right Worthy Grand Council of the Independent Order of St. Luke, held last week in the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, brought together 400 delegates, and 500 visitors, representing 24 States. Mrs. M. L. Banks of Macon, Ga., the right worthy grand chier, presided. The annual report of the secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Maggie L. Falker, showed that nearly 7,000 adult members had been added to the order during the past year and that the order was in a healthy financial condition. The new members were 6,362 adults and 4,383 juveniles. The order has nearly 30,000 adult members and 8,893 juvenile members. Adult death claims amounting to $54,731.16 were paid for 505 members and $1,474 was paid for 29 juvenile members. Death claims for 22 past chiefs amounting to $450 were also paid. The total receipts from all sources during the year were $104,457.81. Dr. H. L. Harris, of this city, was elected grand worthy chief. PRESS ASSOCIATION ELECTS NEW OFFICERS Special To: Thu, New York, Ask MUSKOGE, Okla. Aug. 25.—The National Press Association, which held its annual session in connection with the meeting of the National Negro Business. League, was largely attended and the sessions were interesting. The executive committee, N. B. Dodson, of New York, chairman, met Monday, August 17, with the president of the association, J. H. Murphy, presiding, instead of the chairman, who was not present. Tuesday's session was given to the reading of papers by various members and to the president's annual address. Officers for the next year were elected as follows: Melvin J. Chisum, Baltimore; president; Dr. R. E. Jones, New Orleans; vice-president; M. G. Milliam, Denison; ex., second vice-president; Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Tennessee; corresponding secretary; C. Sumner Smith, St. Paul, Minn., recording secretary; the Rev. J. A. Hamlett, Jackson, Teen., assistant recording secretary; the Rev. L. G. Jordan, Philadelphia, treasurer; Chris J. Perry, Philadelphia, auditor, and Joseph L. Jones, Cincinnati, Ohio, chairman of executive committee TO FIT:YOUNG MEN FOR ROAD SURVEYING Special to THE NEW YORK ACE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. August 18 This school has put in a new course. It is devoted to a study of surveying and road building, and is designed to fit young men to prepare to do the head work as well as the hand work in road improvement, for this is to be the big job in the South during the next fifty years. Colored surveyors are scarce and road bosses and contractors are scarce also, but only because colored men have not been trained to do the work as scientific workmen. The fine roads around Tuskegee Institute, and the roads all through the big grounds, were all surveyed and made under the direction of the road building division of the school. Every county in the south will be improving its roads in progressive fashion in the future and young colored men will get in on the jobs if they know how to survey and grade and finish. Another important department is devoted to swine culture, and there are more than 600 hogs, representing the best breeds, where the students are taught this branch of the agricultural industry. How to breed and raise a pig; how to guard them from the several kinds of diseases that affect the hog; how to raise them at the most economical cost for the market; how to kill and dress them; in fact, the student learns exactly how to make the hog a profitable asset. A scientific knowledge of hogs, Tuskegee Institute holds, will enable young men to get a footing in the business while the business is young in the South. Booker Washington is fond of telling the colored farmers in the South about the hog. He says that when a farmer gets rid of his hog, such as he may raise for a dollar, he pays two dollars to get him back ready for eating. He says that when the slaughter house is paid, the dressing room looked after, the freight of the railroads met and the retail grocer paid his profits, it proves a mighty expensive hog that the farmer has got back. With a little knowledge, a little patience and a business sense, that hog might have gone from the farmer's pen to the smokehouse by direct route. PRICE, FIVE CENT HARD TASK FOR BEAUTY JUDGES Students of Ethnology Interested in Development of Ideal Race Type SUGGESTED EXPERIMENTS Scheme by which Composite Type Can Be Discovered Is Advanced by Demond Lewis in Letter to Editor. PHOTOS HELD UNTIL CLOSE Printing Photo in The Age Will Have no Bearing on Awards in the Contest and None Will Be Returned until After Contest Closes. From way down in Woolsey, Ga. comes a postal card to the circulation department of THE ACE, saying: "I did not get the last week's paper. Please send me one, as I do not want to miss any issue of the Beauty Contest." Of course the paper was sent. And in the same mail came photos from St. Paul, Minn.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Houston, Tex.; Besser, Ala., with many from New York and vicinity. The judges in the Beauty Contest will undoubtedly have the task of their lives when the array of photographs now in "the hands of the contest editor is spread before them for judgment. It becomes more and more apparent each day that the project has developed into more than a mere beauty contest. The possibility of the judges being able to settle upon a definite race type, or, as it has been called, an Ideal American-Negro Type, has set the ethnology students of the race to work in an effort to convince a man by which a true and accurate composite type may be developed. This phase of the matter was brought out in THE AGE of August 6 by DeMond Lewis, and it was further developed by the editor in last week's issue. Photos Show Variety of Types. That there are many types among the women of the race is shown by the group of photos published this week. As far as possible, the selections were made with a view to representing different types of the women of the race, showing various strains which have amalgamated into the race body through assimilation. Mr. Lewis has written another letter, in which he suggests a plan by which the ideal type may be settled upon. His letter: To the Editor of The Ace: The statement in your editorial columns last week that the American-Negro type is and, will approximate the composite type is no doubt accurate. Allowing that fact to stand in contrast and what is a composite type? and how is that type to be discerned? This type, no doubt, from a stretched scientific view, will aid in the quest which approximates the Negro type—as it appeals to their condescension—as it takes the judge it being taken for granted that the judges, who are actuated and inspired by the loftiest motives, have the Negro race interest at heart. No, these judges, beyond all doubt, are not actuated by the body—painters, sculptors, historians and scientists. This critical group will endeavor to arrive at what they consider the American-Negro Type. The following group is interested for what it is worth. Actually, they develop its defects, and also point to its improvement. Method Suggested for Experiment. 1. That all of the portraits be placed into the following classes as near as it is possible on a scientific order: (a) The Trio Negro Type; (b) The White Type; (c) The Typhoon Type; (d) The Tortoise Type; (e) The Neurite White Type. (f) I believe Johnston uses that type to identify all types in which the Negriness is beyond one-seventh and less.) Arrange each class so that at least one consecutive type is taken in consecutive order; this graduation should be as even as possible, but with as great a type distinction as possible. 2. A composite photograph of one of the types is taken to get a distinct composite class type. 3. Superimpose race type in consecutive order from A to E, and to A; also, make one set which is confused indiscriminately. The scheme of those that three experimental types has a tendency to produce a harmonious balance, and also if any pronounced changes are brought of types, i.e. if the A to E arrangement produces a more light, refined type, and also to observe the harmonious balance and the discriminate arrangement. Now, it is perfectly obvious that such an experimental arrangement carried out under as near perfect conditions as possible, would induce the salient characteristics of the experiments and the suggestions and deductions there found, the judges would have a fundamental ground on which to select from and establish their com- type, and, I believe, if such a method, or a close approximation was carried out, it would lead to interesting, valuable accomplishments. One of the criticisms to be made of this experiment is that the photographs do not have a uniformity of pose. This is liable to lead to serious mistakes, also, some people are hard to distinguish. DEMOND LEWIS. Photos Will Be Held Till Contest Closes. It must be remembered that in no manner or way does the publishing of the photos in the columns of this paper mean that those photos are selected as winners in the contest. The photos are selected each week from the large number received simply to show the various styles and types of race beauty, and to show the interest which is being shown in the efforts of this paper to discover the "CHOSEN FIFTEEN." MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN OF THE NEO RACE AMERICA The indications now are that not a section of the country will be unrepresented when the contest closes on September 21. Several requests have been made for the return of photographs which have been reproduced, upon the mistaken guess that the photos greatly were finished with. It should be clearly understood that the pictures are to remain in the hands of the beauty contest editor until the close of the contest, September 21. All the photos received will then be turned over to the board of judges, which is to consist of twelve representative, capable and disinterested men and women, who will have a week in which to make their selection of the "Chosen Fifteen." The photos will then be returned to the contest editor, and all photos for which the return postage has been sent will be carefully wrapped, and mailed to the parties from whom received. Announce Winners at Opening of Autumn Festival. At the opening of the mammoth Autumn Amusement and Advertising Festival at Manhattan, Casino, Monday night, September 28, the "Chosen Fifteen" will be announced, as will also the judges' decision as to the most beautiful girl or woman in Greater New York or vicinity within a radius of sixty miles. No person connected with THE AGE or with the company promoting the Festival, the National Exhibition and Amusement Co., will have anything whatever to do with the awards. The Festival will continue five nights, and on Thursday night. October 1, enlarged... reproductions of the "Chosen Fifteen" will be on exhibition. Every person attending on that night will receive as a souvenir a handsome folder in which will be printed beautiful half-tone pictures of the "Chosen Fifteen." A solid gold bar pin, suitably engraved, will be awarded each of the "Chosen Fifteen," and to the most beautiful woman or girl of New York and vicinity will be awarded, in addition, a solid gold la valliere and neck chain, appropriately inscribed. Send in photos plainly, marked with name and address, not for public, but to insure identification in case of award, and send in the best photographs-possible. Photos which cannot be identified will not be entered in the contest.

It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present; a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T.

Y We warn the public against them. The extraordinary expansion and growth of Negro secret, fraternal and beneficial orders since emancipation, and their very large membership and accumulated revenues, like our church development, have opened fields of activity for the ambitiously honest and efficient, who desired to make such organizations strong and respectable in order that they might share in their prosperity and have. credit and standing because of their good works; but they have also, unfortunately, opened fields of activity for the ambitiously dishonest and efficiently crafty and grafty, who have sought only their own ambition and profit. Our organizations of all sorts have a private and public relation to sustain, a personal and public responsibility to answer for. The membership of them owe it to themselves to see to it that their organizations are administered in the most intelligent and honest manner and with the best possible results, so that they may get the greatest possible benefits, moral and pecuniary, from their investment of time and money; on the other hand, the outside public requires that such organizations shall be managed wisely and honestly; when they are not so managed confidence in the managers is destroyed within and without, so that they will be crippled in their, work as organizations and individuals. We do not single out the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows as a horrible example, but because it is one of the strongest and richest of our organizations, in which there has been more or less of discord and confusion the past five years, with charges flying thick and fast within the order of selfishness, ambition and dishonesty, in the control of the high honors as well as the revenues of the order. In THE AGE of August 13 the nature of the charge of extravagance is set forth and in THE AGE of July 30 and prior issues responsibility for radical changes that have been made in the government of the order, and charges that are proposed, is discussed at length, with the view to show the damage they have done and may do the order, and to fix responsibility for the changes that have been made and that it is proposed to be made. We believe that the vast membership of the Grand, United. Order of Odd Fellows expects that their delegates who will constitute the biennial movable convention, soon to meet, will avoid the dis- AMERICAN WAR IN EUROPE, AND THE BLACK QUEENFISHER The war in Europe has become a universal war, in the actual engagement of troops and in the sympathies of mankind, which are distributed between them strictly on the race and color line, however it may appear differently on the face of it. When the lines are not of race they are of selfishness, which intrigues to obtain undue advantage. The German War Lord has been rattling his sword for some forty years, and his neighbors have been compelled to keep him company, so that when he should draw it they would be prepared to cross it. That has happened, so that 20,000,000 soldiers front each other in the greatest and bloodiest war in all history. At this stage of development of mankind in the Christian virtues such a war should have been impossible. Last week Japan, in compliance with the terms of its alliance with Great Britain, declared what amounted to war against Germany, by peremptorily demanding that Germany release its Chinese leasehold and withdraw or interne its warships now in Far Eastern waters. The blunt language of the Japanese ultimatum gave great offense to Germany, and was intended to do so, we think. The people of the United States have also taken great offense at it, although it is strictly none of their business, they being neutrals, and it was intended that it should, we think. The Japanese people have no reason to deal gently with the German people, or those of the United States, in such crises as the present ones, because those people have not dealt tenderly with the Japanese people. In the general discussion of the abrupt manner of Japan in its demand upon Germany, the papers of this country have persistently ignored, or subordinated, the fact, that for a great many years the Emperor of Germany, the War Lord of Europe, has frowned upon the British and Japanese alliance, declaring that such alliance is beneath the dignity of the white race, as any alliance, would be with Asiatics; or Africans, judged by his utterances about the Haitians, and the proper way, from his viewpoint, of dealing with them and their government. He has not minced words in disagreement of Asiatics or Africans, nor lostlan opportunity to show that he held all such in contempt, and would deal with them as inferiores and underlings if the occasion, should arise for him to do so. He has not spoken or acted as if he thought that such a game has two sides, and that he could play only one side of it, as the Russians did in the Japanese war and the British did in the Boer war. The world is too much infested by the sort of high handlers the German Kaiser represents, who think and act upon the principle that other men have no rights they are bound to respect, if they are weak or are of the black and colored races. That sort of thing has been going on ever since the beginning of the Christian era. It is getting to the end of its rope. The white and colored races of Europe and the Americans have to pay more respect to the rights and feelings of the colored and black races of Asia and Africa. In the last analysis, it is as much a question of religion as of race, between the Cross of Jesus and the Crescent of Mahomet, between Christianity and Mohamedanism. The wars of the Crusaders did not settle the questions of relative right and wrong as between the two, but only deferred it, leaving Jerusalem in the hands of the Mohamedans, where it is now and promises to remain, until restored to the Jews by common consent of all concerned. And that will come to pass, as it is written. But what would happen if the Christians occupied, Mecca, the Holy City of the Mohamedans? They would have to butcher every mother's son of Mahomet. Not so the cowardly Christians, who love the Almighty Dollar and their lives more than they do the Almighty God, in whose name they have established their governments, with the spiritual head-cut off and hung on the Cross in Jerusalem, which they are too busy making money and oppressing other people to redeem from the hand of the Mohamedans. The Japanese were in no humor to deal with Germany in other than the abrupt manner it did. The German people have not given their reasons for doing so. It is not to the interests of Japan, or those of Africa, that Germany should gain a preponderance of influence in Asia or Africa; the Japanese, therefore, embraced the opportunity offered by the European war and her alliance with Great Britain to drive the Germans and their influence out of the Far East. If they should have done otherwise they will have failed in their duty to themselves. The Philadelphia Morning Gazette, a German newspaper, voices the American side of the question, and the danger, as follows: It is a very striking and remarkable coincidence that since the alliance between Japan and England, which the half-wild Russian has joined, as is acknowledged, the Japanese Government, has employed a hearing in its relations with other nations which may be characterized as obly defaulant, impudent and audacious. Mention here need be made only of Japan's conduct toward the sovereign Germany or of the States of the American Union, when the Japanese passed the well-known law which prohibited Japanese from securing or even owing landed property. The conduct of Japan in this affair was a pure and simple affront to the United States Government, which would not have been borne if a Cleveland, a McKinley, or a Roosevelt had sat as President in the White House. The relations between the Japanese and United States Governments were anything but cordial, particularly so when Japan, with unbelievable holdiness, destroyed all efforts at smoothing over the dispute by the Government in Washington, and then played the part of an injured nation, which has suffered, a great wrong and which has the right of making good at some opportune moment the wrong which had been done it. England is endeavoring (doubt can no longer exist) to destroy the world commerce of Germany with the aid of Japan in order to regain predominance on the seas, and who will guaran that England, in order it believes the hour has come, will not dispute with Japanese assistance yet another nation whose world commerce is in the process of development, with every prospect of becoming England's most dangerous rival? Who this other power is need hardly be mentioned. Our treaty laws are not made and enforced at Sacramento, but, like our immigration laws, are made and enforced at Washington; the assumption of the California government, therefore, and the resentment and actions of the Japanese were justified by international law and usage. The Japanese do not forget. The German newspaper has stated the case. Great Britain is looking after her own interests, and not after those of the United States. We cannot alienate by highhanded acts and exhibitions of race prejudice the Japanese people and the Latin-American people and expect to retain their respect and good interests and offices, as the United States has done, and is doing. We must expect to reap as we sow, and if we do not expect to do so we shall have to fight, not do so when we get to it. graceful scenes that scandalized the Baltimore and Atlanta meetings, will rescind the legislation that has caused so much bad blood and will place the administration of the order in the hands of capable men, who will heal existing wounds and devote their best efforts to the restoration of confidence in the order among the membership. We are very sure that the great reading constituency for which The Age speaks expects them to do so. CONSERVATION - OF RACE RESOURCES With the gradual but inevitable development and growth of race groupings and neighborhood communities among us, made so by our own preference and interests and by the public opinion and laws made for us and without our consent, it is becoming every day a more urgent and pressing question as how best to make the most out of the conditions in which we find ourselves. Conservation of race resources covers the whole subject, which is as divisible as the agencies that make for mental, moral and material effort in any given situ- ation. That we should have agencies of the sorts that make for the most and best is to state a trite truism that is acknowledged in most race segregations but practiced in few. This point was very clearly presented by the Norfolk Journal and Guide of recent date, as follows: Taking up the first requisites of human existence, imagine a city of forty thousand inhabitants with not a grocery store large enough to require the service of more than two clerks, and not a single jobbing house in foodstuffs. And at the small average of fifty cents a day each of our forty thousand inhabitants would spend $7,300,000 a year for food. There would also be forty thousand pairs of feet to be shoof, with not a single shoe all around. Ground around all of these people walking around barefoot with $400,000 to spend for shoes. Forty thousand heads, male and female, to be supplied with hats. Some of the ladies' hats cost $25. Some of the men-pay $5 for theirs. Some baby caps sell for a quarter. Let us put the average for the year at $26 each and we live the sing sum of $40,000 for lions not a single hat store in our black city. Then there are forty thousand bodies to be clothed, representing a yearly expenditure of not less than a million dollars and our black city of forty thou- Imagine a city of forty thousand people without a steam laundry, a coal and wood yard or an ice plant. Imagine a city of forty thousand inhabitants with only one banking house with individual deposits of only $38,000. Not a dollar per capita of population. The Journal and Guide has given us the condition as it obtains in Norfolk, and calls it "A Giant Machine with Lost Motion." That is what it is, and applies as well to New York, and a thousand other places where we have a Negro population of forty thousand. We cannot have these business enterprises that cater to our wants, that give employment to our sons and daughters, and that give us character and standing among our fellow citizens, unless we take hold and begin to develop them ourselves. It is our business. It is for us to do it for us. The other races do not wait for us to do for them, they do it for them. It is a long way from the bottom to the top of anything, but those who never start will always remain at the bottom. BAD DEBTS THAT STRANGLE BAD DEBTS THAT STRANGLE The affairs of mankind are so many and intricately adjusted, like the mechanism of a watch, that they are not only easily disarranged, but require ceaseless watching to keep them in working order. Once, there is a slip of a cog, a miscalculation, a failure to do the proper thing at the proper time, and there is a general breakdown. For instance, the Serb boy who assassinated the Austrian Grand Duke and his wife in Bosnia started the European war that threatens to become universal; while the unexpected, resistance of the Liege forts, in Belgium, halted the march of the German troops towards the French, border for ten days and gave the Allies time to get together and demoralize the whole plan of the German campaign. It is possible that in those ten days Germany lost the victory in the beginning it had planned to win in the end. In all lines of human endeavor the same rule obtains remorselessly. All the related parts must work harmoniously and on time, or there is a general disarrangement that may cause disaster to the whole. It is on this account that small things have such vital importance in their relation to big things, it being concealed that the greatest chain is no stronger than its weakest link. Bad debts, debts that cannot be collected, if allowed to get large enough, will strangle any business. THE AGE has a great many such debts, especially among its army of news agents, and we are determined to collect those debts or give those who will not pay plenty of trouble. Some of the agents are dishonest, and some are not, who owe us. Many of the agents are in debt to us because those to whom they served papers, have failed to pay them, while other agents have spent our money as if it had been their own. Now, we earnestly request those who owe our agents to pay them, and all of our agents who owe us, to pay us. Unless those who owe us pay us, how can we pay those we owe? WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Miss Ruth Boston Has Been, Licensed. To the Editor of Tig Age: May, I have space to reply to the letter by the Rev. Mr. Lacey of New Haven, Conn., concerning my preaching? The Rev. Mr. Lacey stated that I have preached without permission, and have ministered about having me preach for them. I promised Rev. Lacey before leaving New Haven that I would not preach before receiving my license. He did not know that I had received it, as I was too busy to correspond with him telling him otherwise. He did not look into the matter and he leaped into conclusion and consequently he landed on a great mistake. When I came to New York I joined Simon of Cyrene Mission, Dr. R. C. Ranson, pastor, and on August 3, 1914, I received my license as an evangelist at the quarterly R. C. Cooper mission; I met R. Cooper, presiding elder. In responding to the call of God to do the work of an evangelist I have complied with all the laws of my church, I sincerely hope will allay the apprehensions of these facts will allay the apprehensions of Dr. Lacey or any others who may be enchanted by his speaking to save souls I was acting without the due authority of the church. RUTH E. BOSTON. "Soap Box Preaching" is Needed. The Book of Areas. I saw an editorial in your last week's issue under the heading, "Soap Box Preaching," commenting such work as the book of ministers should take up such work. I am glad that you have taken such work, and I hope that you will continue to humber away along that line. Such work is greatly needed to be done, the gospel, whose character, and reputation can with- the present conflict has been resolved. The hope we have been engaged in this open-air and sum work ever since 1908. I have the work so arranged that it supports itself. R. I. GAINES, Brooklyn, N. Y. A FORECAST OF THE WAR'S OUTCOME. To the Editor of THE AGE: Please allow space to call the attention of your readers to the fact that in the past we published certain issues of THE AGE we published certain forecasts of the present troubles now occurred in Europe. We called their attention to the fact, that Bible prophecies were being fulfilled; that a great European war was imminent, and that the return of Christ was very near. The present conflict has come then with new and now that it has come with predictions, and the further attention of the public to the related series of events which will just as surely be fulfilled. It is conceded by critical observers that Germany and Austria might possibly be defeated in the present war. But what will be the outcome? This is the question which no man on earth can foretell should be divine revelation. Under the 1940s Scriptures enables us to forecast this outcome about as follows: 1st. The defeat of the Dual Alliance, Germany and Austria, by the present combination of powers. 2nd. The continued supremacy of Britain on the sea for the next decade. 3rd. Russia to gain the bulk of success on land, acquiring parts of Germany and Austria in Europe, Asiatic and Indian seas. 4th. France to regain Alsace and Lérraine and possibly secure German colonies in Africa. 4th. France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Denmark to unite in a great confederation under the headship of Russia. 5th. Britain's conduct in this present war to develop an extreme hatred of her people, to complete obliteration in her more or less complete obliteration and elimination from European affairs. 8th. the forthcoming Treaty of Peace when finally ratified will create (because Britain will urge, and the powers-dare not then refuse) Palestine a free, neutral or buffer state, similar to that of Switzerland or Belgium. 9th. the flocking of thousands of Jews to Palestine as the result, and its rise to a high state of commercial and political power. 10th. The possible return of Christ during the present war or shortly thereafter. 11th. the resurrection and judgment of His people, the Saints at Sinai. 12th. An interval of comparative calm after the present war for three or four years to enable the powers to recuperate from the terrible effects of the present slaughter, and to prepare for the great and terrible Armageddon War of the Great Day of God Amnisty. 13th. the momentous world issues on the sun, and a narrow down from a possible to a certain, definite struggle between the Russo-European-Asiatic Confederation and the Anglo-American Power. 14th. France with her nernicious faculty for stirring up strife will incite the Austro-German Beast, the Pagacy of Rome, and the Czar's Government to attack the French, and together the entire-Firenzean and Asiatic Confederation of Nations to wage war on Britain, America and their colonies. The Greek and Roman churches to be reconciled. The Pone' will be in high feather with the crowned heads of Europe in those days. Republican France once more resume a monarchical form of government for about thirty years. 15th. The point of assault to be the British center in the Mediterranean Sea in the vicinity of Palestine and the Suez Canal. 16th. The present Czar, Nicholas, to be succeeded by a renovated military genius, the equal, if not the superior, of Napoleon, who will tear up the forthcoming Treaty of Peace (we might call it the Treaty of Constantinople), violate his pledges respecting the, integrity of Palestinian neutrality, declare war, and 17th. Seize Egypt by the mutual cooperation of his Ethiopian and Libyan allies and 18th. Invase Palestine, become victorious everywhere, capture one-half of Jerusalem by a decisive defeat of the British-American Power. 19th. British naval power utterly broken by storm, and the battle squadrons of Japan and possibly China, engage in a fierce navy. Japan must break away from England. The alliance is an unnatural one. The yellow race destined to make a strong bid for the control of the Pacific. 20th. The capture of Jerusalem by the Russo-European-Asiatic forces, inclusive of Chinese and Japanese troops to be a partial success only. The enemy is unaware to and unrecognized by the world to suddenly arise and advancing from Ternan and through the bed of the Euphrates, will check their victorious conquest and hurl them back into the Valley of Shlaughter — Armageddon in Palestine. 22nd. A bare one-sixth of the millions engaged escape to tell the world of their awful disaster. 23rd. The enemy chosen again as the captain of the New Kingdom of Judæa with Christ on the throne of David as the King of Israel. 24th. Preparations for the war of the Great Day, the Hour of Judgment Great Day, the hour of judgment. 26th. Israel developed during this show, in the form of peace to a most formidable military power, with brunch juntas in every capital of Europe, America and Asia, to execute under the captaincy of Jesus and the Saints the "judgments written" against all dominions of the earth. 26th. War declared against the world by Jesus of Nazareth, enthroned on Mount Zion. Duration, thirty years. 27th. The Roman Catholic Church and City of Rome destroyed by a terrific wave of fire. 28th. Subjugation of all nations by fire and sword, attended by plague, famine, pestilence, of an appalling description. 29th. The world surrenders to Christ human rights, and the human rights of the man king and begin the work of reconstruction of the world's social and political fabric on the eternal principles of justice, equity and love. 30th. The Millennial Reign of Christ, with glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace and good will among men for a thousand years". This, Mr. Editor, is the divine program. This divine program God has outlined it in the *Serengetis* book, and which is rapidly progressing to fulfillment. A wonderful drama that will be enacted on this earth during the next forty years. In our forthcoming articles, we shall endeavor to take each phase of this elaborate program and give to your readers the reasons and the implications of our conclusion we beg to correct our misinformed Biblical seers, the Seventh Day Adventists, that the present European war is not the Armageddon conflict, but merely the preparation for the development and union of the feet and toes (iron and clay) of Daniel's image and to enable us to upon its feet prepare for the invasion of the land of Palestine to meet its overthrow at the hands of Jesus of Nazareth, the Shepherd and Stone of Israel. In the meantime Christ is the only refuge from the coming storm, and without His help no man will be able to survive the coming is very near. Let us prepare. Pres.

THREE colored road silows with ambitious offerings will dispense jollity and melody for the edification of playgoers during the season of 1914-15, namely, The Darktown Follies, the Black Patti and the Smart-Set companies. The present aspect of things is therefore brighter than a year ago when only two colored attractions were preparing to go out. The movements of the Darktown Follies are being watched with keen interest, as the success of the J. Leubrie Hill show on the Progressive. Burlesque Wheel means much to the colored theatrical profession. Reports received to date from the scenes of conquest have been most encouraging, the information being that the colored attraction is waging a successful fight for recognition and patronage over the Progressive Burlesque Circuit. -Three weeks ago the Follies opened HARRISON Co-Star with Black Pa the season in Cleveland, doing a big week, and business has been gratifying to the Porgressive people ever since. In the meantime the Columbia Burlesque Wheel is "keeping tab" on every move made by the Darktown Follies, for the rival wheel is deeply concerned in the experiment being made by the Progressive people of putting a colored show in burlesque. After a year's absence from the stage Mme. Sissieretta Jones (Black Patti) will once more-grace the footlights with her presence, again appearing under the management of Rudolph Voelekel. Mme. Jones will be seen in a new three-act musical piece, "Lucky. Sam from Alabama," written by Harrison Stewart. Upon Harrison Stewart will devolve the task of supplying most of the comedy in the show, and the young comedian believes that he now has the opportunity of his career to show what he can do as a dissemination of humor. The Black Patti Company began rehearsals in New York Monday. The attraction is scheduled to open the season in Plainfield, N. L., and has been booked to appear at the Lafayette Theatre during the week of September 1. Manager Voelckel, says "Lucky Sam from Alabam" will be the most pretentious offering presented by the Black Patti offering in years. The Smart Set Company, headed by S. Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, went into rehearsal several weeks ago and is now ready for a strenuous season. If the present plans of a number of colored men prominently identified with the theatrical profession are carried out New Yorkers will see a production before many months which will remind them of the days of Williams & Walker. Having reached the conclusion that cooperation is absolutely necessary to bring colored musical comedy to the high position it once held, conferences are being held in which the situation as it affects the colored performer is being minutely gone over. Conclusions have been reached that conditions can only be materially improved by colored producers working hand in hand and that it will first be necessary to make an extended effort to clarify the situation, without securing a guarantee that the endgavor will be crowned with success. In other words, those directly concerned in the content-plated project must take "a long-shot chance" as the promoters of "A Trip to Coontown" and other colored organizations were forced to do some years ago when the theatrical tide was at a low ebb. Among those interested in the project are Jesse A. Shipp, Alex. Rogers, James Repe Europe, Henry Troy, R. C. McPherson and Lester A. Walton. The proposed production will have its initial appearance at the Lafayette Theatre, and if it bears the carmarks of a winner will be transplanted to Broadway. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

In his second letter to the management of the Autumn Festival; the mysterious man, Soft Shoe Sam, calls New York "The Big Joke on the Hudson," and says it is so easy that he feels like raising the amount of the reward which is offered to the person who penetrates his disguise and discovers his identity. He says he is ashamed to take the money which the National Exhibition and Amusement Co. is paying him. Last Saturday night, he claims, he called up on the telephone all the places he contemplated visiting and warned them he was coming. Then he says he kept his word, going into some of the places two and three times. He visited Johnny Morris, 141st street and Lenox avenue; Percy Brown, Arkansas pharmacy, Doyle's, Harry Griffin, Association harbor shop, Barron Wilkins, Johnny Johnson, Schaeffers, Sol Simons, Conners, Leroy's, and finished up at the Lafayette. He promises to make the rounds again Saturday night, dressed as before, in a blue serge suit, blue flannel shirt, black tig, black shoes and Stetson hat. If you think you see him, walk up and say "In that Indian-summertime—a harvest of good things," and he will immediately take you to the appointed place and pay you $5 in gold. He says his offer is open to the district attorney's office and the whole police force. Boy. Scouts to Mobolize for Autumn Exposition. The first mobilization of the hoy scouts of Greater New York, New Jersey and vicinity, is in process of preparation for Tuesday, September 29, and if the plans mature, will embrace the first big sham battle conceived and executed since their organization.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT For the first time in the history, of sports in the City of New York, a genuine tennis tournament will be held on the courts of the Turf Tennis Club, West 138th street, beginning Wednesday, August 19, and ending Saturday, August 22. The tournament committee was composed of C. J. Clark, Miss Blossom Lewis, I. B. Ricketts Cheesman and Manice Deliae to hold the tournament came after it was found that the Washington players were willing to come to New York at the end of the Philadelphia tournament, and on Friday, August 12, a special invitation was carried to Philadelphia and delivered to the Washington players by Miss Blossom Lewis. It was the, original intention to hold the tournament on Wednesday and Thursday only, but the committee was swamped with entries, so much so that the entire day of Wednesday was occupied in the first round of the singles. First Round: Campbell beat Harris 61, 64; Holmes beat Carter 61, 64; Chifford beat Kane 61, 64; Logan beat Anderson 64, 57, 64; Wilkinson beat Rogers 60, 60; Bishop beat Still 64, 64; Costa beat Cromwell 62, 16, 64; Clark beat Battles 60, 60; Hunt beat J. C. Clark 64, 4, 62; Willis beat Austin 46, 62, 63. Clifford and Chessman, who have been playing as a team all summer, found themselves coupled in the second round. It was agreed between them that only one set he played for the elimination. The match was hard fought throughout, but Clifford got away in front and in spite of his hard fight toward the end Chessman was unable to overcome the advantage. It was undoubtedly the best match of the day, with the possible exception of the one between Dr. Costa and Johnnie Cromwell of Washington. Second Round: Clifford beat Chessman 64 one set by agreement; Holmes beat Camp 61, 64; Wilkinson beat Logan 60, 60; Hunt beat J. C. Clark 64, 62; Costa beat Bishop 61, 64; Wilksby a tie. Fourth Round: Holmes beat Willis 6-1, 6-3; Wilkinson a bye. The best match of the day was that between Clifford, and Talley Holmes, winner of the championship in Philadelphia. The former made a brilliant fight, forcing the champion to a deuce set in order to win. An enthusiastic audience was present on Thursday afternoon when the preliminaries of the doubles started, and it didn't fail to assert itself—especially in the match in which Costa and Willis beat Clifford and Cheesman. The latter were the favorites with the rooters and their losing was not due to the lack of cheering support. Holmes and Cromwell played brilliantly in their matches, their team work being one of the features. First Round: Martin and Austin beat Caines and Uailes 6-2, 6-0; Costa and Willis beat Cheesman and Clifford 5-7, 6-3, 7-5; Wilkinson and Clarke hit Hunt and Turner 6-0, 6-1 and Cromwell beat Bishop and Anderson 6-0, 6-1. Second Round: Holmes and Cromwell beat Wilkinson and Clarke 6-4, 6-3. Fourth Round: Holmes and Cromwell beat Costa and Willis 6-3, 6-3. The final of the singles was naturally the hardest match of all, when Holmes met Wilkinson. This was the second time within a week that this pair, had met in a final round. Wilkinson having been the runner-up in the Philadelphia tournament, Holmes won, 6-8, 6-3, 6-1. The result of the tournament was expected as it was known New York had no players to compete with the Washington boys. It can be said, however, that within two or three years New York will be a decided factor in the tennis world. The Washington players say now that the New Yorkers would find little trouble in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Of the many tennis-clubs in this city only two were represented, the Turf Club and the Adelphi. Sykes Won for Royals Monday. The Royal Giants, who stopped at Atlantic City, N. J., for a three-games series prior to playing the American Giants of Chicago next Saturday, defeated the Atlantic City nine 7 to 4.
