Negroes Are Included In Universal Training Plan Says the War Department The War Department at Washington has registered an official denial to the charge that the General Staff of the United States Army favors the exclusion of Negroes from the proposed system of universal military training. It is pointed out by Adj. General H. P. W. Cam that Section 4 of the General Staff Universal Military Training and Service Bill provides for the enrollment of colored men in units to be made up of Negroes. The War Department emphatically denies the charge of Dr. J. E. Spinarn that the General Staff of the Army has decided to reduce the original estimate of 900,000 to 500,000 because of its operation to including colored men in the universal training plan. The following communication has been received from the War Department. The Act in response to a letter sent to Secretary of War Baker, asking if was true, as charged by Dr. Spinarn, that the army officials did, not look with favor on the idea of giving the Negroes of the United States military training: April 19, 1917. Mr Fred. R Moore. 247 West 40th St. New York, N. Y. Mr Sir: Your letter of March 23, 1917, addressed to the Secretary of War and closing a circular issued by Dr. J. E. Spinarn has been received. You particularly direct attention to paragraph of Dr. Spinarn's circular which is as follows: For ourselves, we do not believe that the United States Government or the War Department favors in any way "Jim Crowing" any part of its citizenship. I should, however, like to have your written confirmation that the War Department bulletin means exactly what it says, and that all citizens are to be on equal footing. Trusting to be favored with an early reply, I am. Yours very truly, (Signed) FRED R. MOORE Entrance's Note—Rumors in circulation for several months that army officials do not want the Negro to be included in the universal training plan now under consideration seem to have been without foundation. WOMEN ENLIST FOR SERVICE TO SOLDIERS The National League for Women's Service issued a call for women to enlist for service in the Nation's crisis. A few thoughtful women of the race heeding the call, decided it would be most fitting that the matter should be presented to the "Woman's Loyal Union of Greater New York" this being the oldest club. After much consideration it was de- 4. The South does not want colored men to get any kind of military training; nothing frightens it more than the thought of millions of colored men with discipline, organizing power, and a dangerous effectiveness. That is why Vardaman is so bitterly opposed to universal military training. That is why the General Staff of the Army has decided to include colored men from the training, and has reduced its original estimate of 900,000 to 500,000. That is why the colored man who resists to take advantage of this hard-won chance for a camp is going off his own nose to spite the face. Dr. Spingarn is mainstay in his abduction that the General Staff of the Army has advocated extension of the colored race from the proposed system of universal military training. Sec. 4 of the General Staff Universal Military Training and Service Bill clearly contemplates that colored men shall be trained, for it provides extremely that: "White and colored enlisted or enrolled men shall not be organized in or assigned to the same company, battalion, or regiment." This is in line with existing policy of Congress in respect to the Regular Army, which limits the assignment of colored enlisted men to certain regiments, namely the 8th and 25th regiments of infantry and the 9th and 10th regiments of cavalry. The records of these regiments have demonstrated the soldierly qualities of our colored citizens. Their loyalty is not to be questioned. try Respectfully. (Signed) H. P. McAIN, The Adjunct General. The communication sent to Secretary by THE AGR read as follows: Don. Newton C. Baker, Secretary of War I am enclosing herein copy of the circular which has been issued by Dr. J. E Spingarn. I would ask your kind perusal of the game. Number five infers that the General Staff of the Army has decided to exclude colored men from training and has reduced its original estimate of 500,000 to 500,000. I should like to have you advise me whether the War Department is inclined to discriminate against colored men or is opposed to the placing of them on equal footing with other American citizens. The Negro has always been loyal, and I do not believe that your Department, at the present time, questions his loyalty. He has responded to the call of duty, yet I fear that if what Dr. Spingarn gives out is true, there would not be no volunteer, if they were to be discriminated against. If the recent bulletin issued by the War Department on military training camps conducted by the government means what it says, then I take it Dr Spingarn is in error in his circular.

WOMEN ENLIST FOR SERVICE TO SOLDIERS The National League for Women's Service issued a call for women to enlist for service in the Nation's crisis. A few thoughtful women of the race heeling the call, decided it would be most fitting that the matter should be presented to - the "Woman's Loyal Union of Greater New York" this being the oldest club. After much consideration it was decided that this should be a movement of concentrated effort on the part of every colored woman in Greater New York. The Woman's Loyal Union has declared its loyalty and has also expressed its desire to aid in any way possible the Fifteenth Infantry, National Guard of New York. In order that this shall be a movement of the women generally the Union is perfecting plans whereby a large committee of our women will soon be enlisted for service. An appeal is made through the press to all patriotic women to join this committee, in order that organization may be perfected as soon as possible. A delegation of women representing the Union and other organizations visited the military of the Fifteenth Infantry Tuesday and were received by Sergeant Lee A. Pollard, who extended them every courtesy. By appointment the delegation proceeded to the home of Captain Filmore, where the plans of service for the regiment were presented, which met the hearty approval of the Captain. The delegation was escorted by Captain Filmore to the recruiting station of the regiment, where it was presented to Colonel Haywood. He outlined the present urgent needs of the regiment and was pleased to know that the colored women were anxious to render service. Dr. William H. Brooks, Chaplain of the Regiment, was present and most heartily endorsed the plans. The call to our women and the plan of work was presented to Colonel Haywood by Miss S. E. Frazier, president of the Woman's Loyal Union. Those present were: Mrs. M. C. Lawton, Miss Emma Fox, Mrs Wiley Seay, Mrs. Charlotte Bell, Mrs. Sylvia A. Harris, Mrs. E. L. Young, Mrs. A M Stewart, Mrs. Dora Hemmings, Mrs. Filmore, Miss Helen Filmore, Mrs. Rosa Lee, Mrs. A. Granville, Mrs. Rudd. Any woman desiring to join the committee may send her name and address to Mrs. M. C. Lawton. 173 Willoughby street, Brooklyn, or to Miss Emma Fox, 219 West 134th street Manhattan. UNION BAPTIST CHURCH NURSE 22 LOCALITY PLEDGES ITS LOYALTY The following letter, addressed to the President of the United States, was adopted by a gathering of at least one thousand persons, present at the Union Baptist Church on Sunday evening; "We, the undersigned; citizens (colored), of the Union Baptist Church, with a membership of 2,995, located at 204-06 West 63rd street, New York City, Rev. G. H. Sims, D.

EXPECT UP STATE TO COMPLETE ENROLLMENT Recruiting Parties Are Now Out to Bring Fifteenth Regiment to Its War Strength. No Man Will Receive Pay Under National Defense Act Who Does Not Attend a Minimum of Eighteen Drills—Headquarters, Supply and Machine Gun Companies Mustered In. The total enrollment of the Fifteenth Regiment has passed the 1,300 mark, and recruiting will be continued until the war strength of 2,002 enlisted men is reached. The Second Battalion of Brooklyn now numbers 400 men, which is the maximum peace strength. Capt. Hamilton Fish, Jr., took a recruiting party to Newburgh, Peeksland and other river towns last week, while other parties are operating at Yonkers, under Private Rexford Williams, and at New Rochelle, under Private William Bubing. Indications are that the towns up State will furnish the additional number of enlisted men. A placard has been supplied to every man in the regiment to place in the window of his home, which states: "One boy from this home is serving has country in the 15th N. Y. Infantry." The first tangible effect of the federalization of the Fifteenth Infantry is the qualification of the enlisted men for pay under the National Defense Act. This pay can be obtained if there is an average attendance at the drills of each half year of 60 per cent of the numerical strength of each company. The semi-annual periods on which pay is based begin on January 1 and July 1 of each year, and thirty-five drills are compulsory for each month before January 1918 and no man will receive any pay who does not attend a minimum of eighteen drills. A man will be paid proportionately for the number of drills attended between eighteen and thirty-five. The maximum pay is one-tourth the pay of the corresponding grade in the regular army. Drills must be of not less than one hour and a half duration, exclusive of interruptions. With this incentive it is expected that the Regimental Armory will present a busy appearance on drill nights with the eight line companies of the two New York battalions and the three auxiliary companies occupying the floor. Brig. Gen. Oliver Bridgman mustered into the State service the Hearquarters, Supply and Machine Gun companies at the maximum peace strength at the Armory on Friday night.

(Special to The New Orleans Daily) NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA—The South be called upon to provide nurses in the present condition, given many no better could be found at the Flint-Goodridge Hospital. In the early days of Browns Thrift hold as resident Bishop of this city be advised convinced that a hospital and nurse training school was a necessary in New Orleans and he inaugurated a move to provide a hospital for the care of sick colored people, where colored physicians might be given a chance to practice and colored nurses receive training to become nurses. The Freedmen's Aid Society rescinded action ordering the movement of all interests of Flint and Sarah Goodridge Hospital to Nashville, on agreement of the Bishop, in addition to the society's gift of $5,000 to finance the building and to increase the endowment to $50,000, thus, assuring the permanency of the enterprise. The Bishop promptly authorized the drawing of plans costing $1,600 and signed a contract for the remodeling of the old building and nearby $20,000 was spent in making old Flint Medical College one of the most beautiful hospitals in all this Southland, second to none in facilities and equipment in the city of New Orleans. All classes of colored people received the notice of the opening of the Flint-Goodridge Hospital with great delight. Toward the hospital the colored people have given something and are planning to give more. The institution is conducting a campaign for financial aid and Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, has issued an appeal to members and friends of the M. E. Church to put the hospital on a sound financial basis. HAVE FAR MORE WHITE PATRONS THAN COLORED Colored People of Sumterville, S. C., Fail to Give Power Support to Race Enterprises. STRANGE BUSINESS CONDITIONS One Colored Milliser Business But One Quarter of Her Patrons from Her Own People White White People of Town Maltais Dry Goods More Conducted by Negro. (Special to The New York Times) SUMMERVILLE, S. C. - Representative of THE Act made an announcement of business conditions there. The various enterprises conducted by Colored people in this city, with the resulting results: On visiting the T. W. Porter Lay Goods Store, inquiry was made to the manager and buyer, P. T. have received four people. We said that the store had more white patronage than colored, about one-third of the patrons being colored, while some of our people never came into the store. The store employs two female clerks and one porter who assists with the clerking. Business has been so dull recently that they have been running the force on half time. One can judge that this store must compare favorably with the other stores of the town, to have so many white customers. Yet many of our people pass them by and go to a store kept by a Jew. Mrs A. J. Springer, our colored milliner, said that if she had to depend solely on our people for support, she would have had to close up her business that about one-quarter of her patronage was colored, and the remainder white. She keeps all the latest shapes in headgear, nicely trimmed. There are two colored restaurants and they are the only restaurants in town, therefore their patronage is about fifty-fifty. The livery stables are about the same, also the butchers, as we have only one white butcher. It will be seen from this showing that our town is not an exception to other towns in the lack of proper support for race enterprises. Our people will have to be educated up to the idea of supporting their own race first. Of course it takes capital to start in business and the competition is great, but if our people would spend what they have with their own, it would be easier for them to compete with the other business enterprises. ABOLISH "JIM CROW" POSTOFFICE WINDOW (Special to THE NEW YORK AGEN) PENSAOLA, FLA.—The policy of providing separate windows for the two races has been abolished by the local post office officials after an active campaign conducted by the Negro Business League of Pensacola. Shortly after the Democratic Party came into power at Washington a "Jim Crow" window was established for Negroes. This act of segregation was highly objectionable to the colored citizens, who through the Negro Business League appealed to Senator Bous Penrose' of Pennsylvania and other prominent officials. The members of the Business League have received a communication from Senator Penrose enclosing the following statement from J. C. Keens, First Assistant Postmaster General. With further reference to the complaints relative to the opening of separate windows in your office, you are informed that you may keep open as many windows as may be necessary, but you must not attempt to make any division of the patrons as regards color, race, etc. Colored patrons recently have been served at both windows. --- The Freedmen's Aid Society rescinded its action ordering the movement of all interests of Flint and Sarah Goodridge Hospital to Nashville, on agreement of the Bishop, in addition to the society's gift of $5,000 to finance the building and to increase the endowment to $50,000, thus assuring the permanency of the enterprise. The Bishop promptly authorized the drawing of plans costing $1,000 and signed a contract for the remodeling of the old building and nearly $20,000 was spent in making old Flint Medical College one of the most beautiful hospitals in all this Southland, second to none in facilities and equip- Good Advice.

He recites the record of the race in the wars of the country and concludes: "Now then, if we, as Negroes, and whites, together must do this fighting, I ask for the good of my country, if you desire efficiency, rivalry and pep, give the black soldier of this country officers from men of their own race, and the anxiety of the nation shall have passed. For I declare unto you, if we go, we shall bring home a noble record or report to you the reason why.

MILITARY HONORS FOR DEAD LOUISIANIAN (Special to The New York Ass) NEW ORLEANS, La.—A squad of soldiers from the United States barracks, near Chalmette, attended the funeral of Col. F. C. Antoine and performed the last military rites as the remains were laid to rest in the family vault in St. Louis Cemetery last Saturday afternoon. Col. Antoine died Thursday afternoon at his residence, 519 South Prieur street. He was born in New Orleans, April 10, 1839, bother of ex-Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana, C. C. Antoine. He was also lieutenant of Company G of the 7th Louisiana Regiment of Colored Volunteers during the Civil War, ex-member of the Louisiana State Legislature, representing the Third War of Orleans Parish, and later held other important positions in the city and state governments and federal service. At his death he held the position of, Assistant Adjutant and A. Q. M. General of the Department of Louisiana and Mississippi, Grand Army of the Republic. Col. Antoine had been Recorder of Births and Marriages, had been Harbor Master and the District Superintendent of Customs Matters at Port Chalmette and left a fine record in each position. He was charter member of the first colored K. of P. Lodge, organized in Louisiana, and was the first Grand Chancellor of the State. He owned his residence and about 140 acres of land in the oil region of Caddo parish upon which the Standard Oil Co. obtained an option a number of years ago. This tract has been rented out for farming purposes. His devoted wife, his son, Louis C., in business here, his son, Dr. Felix Antoine, a successful physician in Philadelphia; his daughter, Mrs. Mary Dougherty, of Shreveport; eleven grandchildren and his distinguished brother survive him Pastor H. H. Dunn, of Central Congregational Church, of which Col. Antoine, was a member, was in charge of the religious ceremonies. Representatives of the fraternities and Department Commander E. T. Gibson, the military ceremonies Rev. Mr. Wittenburg, of St James' A M F. Church, and Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green each added a few words to the splendid tribute Rev Mr. Dunn paid the deceased RALEIGH CORRESPONDENT ON RACE PATRONAGE (Special to the New York Age) RALEIGH, N. C—Viewing with much regret the Negro's indifference to trade with Negroes engaged in business, side by side with white men, your correspondent interviewed a number of colored men and women on this subject. The following questions were put and then answered: Question: "Why do you fail to go to a colored shoe merchant and buy shoes when you go out to buy shoes?" Answer: "I usually buy where I can get the best bargain. It is not a question of color with me when I want to buy an article. Negro merchants have not learned how to buy and sell like white merchants. A Negro merchant will allow an article of merchandise to stay on his shelf and spoil before he will sell it for less than what it cost him, while white merchants will sell the same goods at a loss when he finds it is not a quick selling article, and buy the quick seller. The Negro merchant is slow to catch this art of the trade. Two or three times a year a white shop merchant will mark down prices on goods that are out of style or not quick sellers, advertise them and they usually find quick buyers. Negro merchants use very little printer's ink in his business, that is, advertise his goods. You never hear of a Negro merchant seeing apart the Negro safe days. What about the Negro merchant will apply to the Negro dry goods merchant, these being the two chief lines of trade that the Negro has gone into. Many have tried the grocery business and failed, not so much on account of patronage, but because he has not learned how to buy and sell the goods that his trade calls for. He usually buys too much of one thing and not enough of the other, or he fails to study the business and learn what his customers want. Negroes must learn the arts of trade. Few have done so." Question No. 2: "Why is it, that a white foreigner can open a restaurant for the accommodation of Negroes next door to a restaurant conducted by a Negro for the accommodation of Negroes and draw all the Negro trade from the Negro restaurant?" Answer: "In the first place, the white foreigner buys the best foods to be had, prepares it properly and gives you your money's worth. He is always on the job and you do not have to wait. His place is clean and he is very accommodating, while the Negro proprietor is stingy and stubborn in serving you. He fails to give you your money's worth. He is quick to insult you. He does not keep in stock sufficient goods to meet any kind of a rush in his business. He is differentiate in serving his customers." Question No. 3: "Why do some Negroes prefer white undertakers to serve their dead in preference to colored undertakers?" Answer: "The relatives are quite often influenced by their employer to have the white undertaker perform this service. The employer many times becomes responsible for the undertaker's pay, and allows the servant time to work out the amount. White undertakers are not as oppressive in urging pay for service rendered as colored undertakers. Colored undertakers are many times unprepared to give the service required of them in the quality of goods and general equipment." Your correspondent has made public these interviews in the hope that colored men already engaged in the various lines of business referred to will gain some points by which they may be able to overcome some of the drawbacks to the progress of their business. and work were brought to Buffalo morning for work on the doorke. They are paid forty-five cents an hour; and if they make good, a thousand and more will be put to work as soon as they can be secured. Lake navigation will open the first of May, and the Ack correspondent has it on good authority that colored steve- dores will be given preference over the foreign element which had a monopoly on this work heretofore.

J—Rev F. J. HANDY, pastor of St Mark's M E. Church, preached Sunday night on "The Nation's Crisis and the Black Man's Part in it." His text was "Let us with patronum run the race that is set before us." He showed how the nations of the earth for thousands of years have fought to win the prize, how grievances hindered them not. He pictured the wrongs and oppressions of the Irish nation, of the people of India, of the Pakistani and the Russian who which they have endured for hundreds of years, and how they have lain aside their grievances and are fighting in the trenches side by side with those who had wronged them. He said we are living in critical times, and that it is a small man who will not, lay aside his grievances and rise to a man's duty—and take his place in the world conflagration by the sides of other men. He added. "To nurse our past grievances so that we should become indifferent or apathetic is not the action of men; these stirring days call for men. We have grievances innumerable and should not make light of them; but so has Ireland grievances; so has Poland the Russian and all of them are found in the trenches in the navy, in munition factories—all giving unstinted service to their countries, realizing that in saving their country they are saving themselves, and thus doubly meriting that for which they have so long struggled" WANTED ONLY IN MESS BRANCH OF NAVY (Special to The New York Acc.) Curtiss, S. C. -Negroes who enlist in the United States Navy are used as cooks, stewards, mess attendants and in the fireroom. This information has been imparted to C. G. Garrett, editor of the *Light*, who wrote a letter to the Navy Department inquiring as to the availability of coated men in the Navy receiving the following communication April 11 1917 Mr C. G. Garrett. Editor The Light. Columbus 59 Editor The Light, Columbia S. C. Dear Sir, Replying to your inquiry of the 7th instant, addressed to the Secretary of the Navy and referred by him to this office, in which you requested information regarding the status of the Negro in the United States navy. The Chief of Bureau directs me to inform you that there is no legal discrimination shown against colored men in the navy. As a matter of policy, however, and to avoid friction between the two races, it has been customary to enlist colored men in various ratings of the messen branch; that is, cooks, stewards and mess attendants, and in the lower ratings of the fireroom; thus permitting colored men to sleep and moss by themselves. The bureau desires * * * to express its thanks for your interest in this matter. Respectfully. (Signed) L. B. PORTERFIELD. Lleut, Commander U. S. Navy.

C.—Much, too much, sandal sneaks through the conversational sneakers of Washington that never gets into the public prints, because it comes under the terms of a news gossip not to intrude. Any such news gossip is equally, by the same token, not to be whispered and talked aloud in private conversation. Strange to say, our men are the greatest offenders in this important and disreputable business. The colored men gossips of Washington are in a class by themselves. They should all be hailed before Judge Royal A. Higgledy the President of Colored Bar Association, and made to purge themselves of their bad practices in this matter. Now, gentlemen, it is up to you. The drawing of the color line has reached the fine point in this city, and winds its slimy way from the churches to the Chinese chop suey joints. It seems to grow worse instead of better. A light complexioned gentleman of the race new in the city and not old in the polished recently, and walked into an Italian place near Fourteenth and U streets, patronized by white persons. The shoeblack, gathered himself together, looked at the shoes and then into the face of his customer, who was two shades lighter than the shoeblack, who said, "Me no polish zee color man shoes" in the eye and said, "You polish the shoes or I'll polish you." The shoeblack hesitated and then appealed to the boss, who sat at a nice desk observing the situation, "Black the genderman's shoes," he said, in perfect English. He saw that the colored gentleman unantent war. A little further down Fourteenth street a Chinese shop are almost exclusively colored people, employs a lot of husky colored women to do his work, and makes some of them stand near the big window so that they can serve as an advertisement. They do. Then, again, on Seventh street, about the twelve hundred block, a Chinese chop suey joint keeper recognizes the door as the entrance to the dividing his place into two parts, with the door so placed as to form a "V." On the Tight facing of the door he has painted: "For Colored"; on the left, "For White." On the street cars white men will not get up or move up to accommodate colored ladies and colored men will not do so to accommodate degrade others without degrading ourselves, and that is what the drawing of the color line does in Washington and everywhere else that it is drawn. Your correspondent has learned, as a pension attorney, that patriotism does not draw any color line "after the war is over." in the matter of getting all the law allows for the patriotic services deferred, in pension allowances. Those who have claims and those who have only the shadow of claims are equally anxious to have them pressed before the Pension Bureau in the hope that they will be allowed something. Perhaps it is human nature, and perhaps it is a state of war. Simmons of a state of war with Germany I found that it comes pretty near being the same with the patriots who want a "slice" of the big war appropriations Congress is authorizing, and will, for the prosecution of the war. "Race, color and previous condition" are lost sight in the effort to get some of the big money up in the air, but uppermost in the talk of the patriots here; or, "How can I connect with the good thing?" is the way they think and hustle late and early. I am glad to say that the colored patriots are in the "move" also, and if thinking and hustling to get some of the big money go for success they should come out in the end with "schooners full of it." They are not to be blamed, because to paraphrase late William Cowper, "Skins may differ in late William Cowper, "Skins appeals to black and white the same." Bishop John M.

THE NEW YORK AGE THE HAPPY ENDING. (BY LESTER A. WALTON) WITH a view to pleasing the majority of playgoers, the war play, "Lilac-Time" being produced at one of the local theatres, has been given a new ending. Here-tofore, the British soldier-lover has met death on the battle field. But this ending was not a popular one, and now the brave warrior returns safe and sound to the ideal of his dreams. There seems to be very little difference in the mental makeup of the reader of fiction and the devotee of the drama. Their psychology seems to be about the same, both clamoring for the happy ending. The book publisher long ago came to the conclusion that in order to tickle the fancy of the sickle public it was necessary to end his story with the "and they lived happily ever afterwards" idea. The theatrical manager has endeavored to depict life more faithfully, occasionally producing a play with an unhappy ending. As a rule, however, such theatrical presentations have come to as tragic a conclusion as the characters in the piece. All of the season's big successes have been identified with happy endings. "Turn to the Right" is cleverly constructed throughout, but its writers were discreet enough to let the curtain go down in the last act with happiness as the predominating note, thereby sending all home in a most cheerful frame of mind. We hear very little nowadays 6f the tragedy, and when we speak of the tragedian it is in the past tense. Managers do not produce many Shakesperian plays to-day because the public is is no mood for them. Life in itself seems to be a very serious matter at present, and when one goes to the theatre for entertainment either music and song is desired or a dramatic play to take the mind off the sterner realities of life. In such a piece as "Lilac-Time," if the story must deal with love and war, an insistent demand is made that the soldier-lower return instead of meeting the fate which has befallen thousands and thousands of sweethearts in the European conflict. Publishers and producers will tell you that the women are loudest in the demands for a happy ending. So do the film folk hesitate about finishing a photo play without the villain getting his just deserts and fond hearts reunited. Members of the gentler sex usually form an estimate of a picture from its ending. More than once I have heard a female follower of the films exclaim: "I didn't think much of the picture; it didn't end right." Throughout the United States colored people are forming film corporations to produce photo plays dealing with Negro life. This is the right move in the right direction. If the pictures put out are up to the artistic standard no difficulty ought to be experienced in disposing of them. There are hundreds of colored theatres in this country which should furnish a ready market for photo plays posed for by Negro actors. Here is one branch of the filmmaking industry that has been overlooked by motion picture men that can be made remunerative if the pictures produced compare favorably with those of white concerns. The success of a picture depends largely upon the staging, and only those who have had valuable experience in stagecraft should be employed to attend to this highly important function. 新 EMMETT J.

Another ambitious movement on foot is the production of a photo play entitled "The Birth of a Race," which will be shown to counteract the evil effects of "The Birth of a Nation." Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, has written the scenario for this picture. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Davis and Walker are in Akron, O. Cook and Stevens are at the Regent. The Tennessee Ten are at Keith's Colonial Theatre. Bailey and Austin are splitting the week between Passaic, N. J., and Stamford, Conn. The Six Musical Spillers are at the Audubon Theatre. Thomas and McDonald are in the city this week. Howard and Clark opened their big review at Proctor's, Yonkers. They have twenty performers with the act. Pankey and McCarver returned from Hazelton, Pa., Sunday. Both were on the sick list and were compelled to cancel their enjoyment at the Fifth Avenue, Brooklyn, the first half. Last half, Delancey street theatre. Patrons of the LaFayette Theatre will be given another treat next week—a musical comedy entitled "The Time, the Place and the Girl." The play is known in theatrical parlance as a LaSalle Theatre attraction, so-called from the theatre in Chicago, where it was originally presented, and is now released for stock, after two consecutive years in the Windy City; and one year in New York and six successful years as a road attraction. In technical scheme it is a frank imitation of the Cohan shows, equally "Forty Minutes From Broadway and "The Talk of New York," in its broad laugh-producing qualities and surpassing both in the popularity and and single of its music, which-for the greater portion is by that well-known colored composer, Will Voldey. Orange, N. J.-Monday night, the Melrose and St. Douglass of Orange, closed their season in a fast and interesting game. This marked the second meeting of these two local teams, with St. Douglass winning the first and Melrose with the Young brothers in the line-up winning the second, Monday night. The game was witnessed by some five hundred cheering fans. Melrose scored the first point which was a free throw by U. Young. It was fully minutes of play with Melrose leading 15 to 0 before St. Ds. scored. The two points were scored by Ricks, followed by hell the next minute. When the first half ended Melrose was loading 27 to 10. During the ten minutes of rest Coach Leimer for St. D. talked to the boys and told them what to do against their strong opponents, showing them their mistakes and to overcome them. When the teams met in the second stanza the St. D.'s evidenced signs of a victory and they led this half-7 to 0 before Melrose could score. Finally the team won the game by hitting Melrose for going and the St. D.'s found it pretty hard to check them. When the session closed Melrose won by 47 to 27. This victory means a great deal to Melrose, and when the season opens next fall the fans will see a team worthy of their support. Plainfield, N. J.—Before a scanty crowd the St. Douglass of Orange defended the Athenians of Plainfield, in an uninteresting one-sided game. The Orange boys put in their subs and mascot, yet the Plainfield quintet showed up weakly. DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS LAFAYETTE THEATRE BASKETBALL IN JERSEY (By J.

BASKET BALL SUMMARY. (By WILL ANTHONY MADDEN) One of the most sensational basketball seasons of the game has just closed with the "Incorporators" again winning the title of world champions. The champions finished again with the high-water mark of a thousand per cent. This is the third consecutive time that the "Incorporators" have won the title and each time this crown has been won with the highest possible percentage. Again the "Incorporators" were tied for first place the same as happened last season when Hampton tied the champions. This season though it was St. Christopher who also finished with one thousand per cent, but as the "Incorporators" already held the title, of course they still retain it. Monticello "De Lanceys" finished third, Hampton fourth, Alpha fifth, Lincoln sixth and Howard seventh. Following is the correct rating and standing of the usual recognized big teams of the country. TEAM. PTL. W. L. Pc. Incorporators 2 0 1.000 Cerberusher 4 4 0.000 Mountain-Ole Lancey 3 2 1.333 Hampton 3 1 2.000 Alma 4 1 3.225 Pittsburgh 5 1 2.000 Howard 2 0 2.000 Of course, the same as all other seasons, the different teams in this so-called league of recognized big teams have won and lost games against other teams, but these victories and defeats have no bearing on the final rating of the big teams. This is nothing new and has been in vogue for the past three seasons. True, there are other strong teams of note that have been developed in the game and can show very good records and undoubtedly, by next season will have to be taken into consideration in this combination of the seven established teams of the country. Chief among these contenders is the Vandal team of Atlantic City. N. J. This team has defeated practically all of Greater New York's best teams with the exception of its Christopher. They have been "dressed" by all their corporators" but all their victories have been at home in the now world-famous cage. When they get on the big open courts they seem to be out-classed. However, this should not detract from their victory as a victory is a victory regardless of where it is won. Results count. Hampton again won the college championship and St. Christopher jumped from last season's percentage of 225 to 1000 for this season. The team had a wonderful season of success but until they defeat the "Incorporators" they cannot hold the highest title in the game. The "Incorporators" originated the title of "world champions" and have always held it and will continue to hold it until one or more of the seven big teams register a victory over them. Refusing to play will not and cannot help the situation. St. Christopher's refusal to play and its continual hiding behind technicalities and "trumpeting" will do them no good. The great basketball public in New York don't care anything about St. Christopher and its feeling toward the "Incorporators" any more than the public cares about the "Incorporators" and any feeling it might have. All the public wants or cares about is the game. This is not only true in New York but is even more so in the out-of-town centres. If St. Christopher held the championship it would be open to adverse criticism for refusing to play but as it does not hold the championship it would be open to saying claims to the championship makes this claim ridiculous. Public opinion is greatly divided in New York and until these two teams meet all the newspaper activities on St. Christopher's behalf will be of no avail. The game is the thing and nothing else matters one iota. Other teams that have caused some attention this season are the Spartans Carltons, St. Douglass, Chicago and Pittsburgh Independents. Spartan have a good team but do not accomplish any results against the big teams although this season it must be admitted they made a better showing than ever before. The Carltons left the lightweight or "second team" division this season and by the use of Aceco, the former "Incorporator" guard, entered the heavyweight class, playing a good game all season, but like Spartan accomplished no real results against the big teams. In Carlton's case, though they defeated Alpha once and tied them on the second game. It might be mentioned here that last season in the lightweight class the Brooklyn boys finished in front. St. Douglas has one of the best teams in the State of New Jersey and must be reckoned with. However, it was defeated by every one of the big teams it mpt. The Chicago team was an entirely new team this season and although defeated on its first appearance here, still the "Windy City" played a wonderful game and showed that they have the goods and next season will be a mighty big attraction. The Pittsburgh Independents is another new team that made its advent this season and although the team has appeared in the East it made a credible showing at home. There were many other teams active this season and mention might be made of the "Oak under the management of James Fultz in introducing to this part of the country the cage court In naming the All-American team for 1916-17, I unhesitatingly pick the following: Forward-Clarence "Fat" Jenkins-St Christopher. Forward "Cum" Posey-Montucello- "De Laye" Center-Walter S. Cooper—"Incorporat- stors." Guard—Ferdinand J. Aceooe—Carlton Guard—Farrar—St. Douglass. Utility—Hobart Johnson—"incorporators." This is practically the same team I picked last season, the one change being Farrar in place of George Capers, and I favor this team again because I fail to see any combination from the clubs that can surpass this team. Although Aceooe has been playing both center and forward he is essentially the guard and produces his best work at that position. Posey played guard part of the season but the whole world knows that his star shines the brightest on the forward line. Hobey Johnson can lay position and make him valuable to any team, as one of the best utility men in the game. He has been generally used as guard but his best work this season was done at forward. There are many other players of much ability such as Lowry, Bicks, Gumbs, Blueit, Peyton and Marsh. BUST BEATS LEMOYNE. The Rust baseball team traveled to Memphis, Tenn., Thursday, and took both ends of a two game series from Lemoine Normal Institute, by a score of 6-2 and 9-2. Lemoine previously to this had been unbeaten, but fell the first day before the fire of Charles Thompson, the giant hurler of Rust, and also on the second day to the fire of Rich and Fynnum. Those who made the trip were Coach P. H. Davis, Manager W. Baker, Capt. Edward Shivers, Umpire J. M. Scott, D. Ivy, E. Clay, O. Twyer and O. Richardson, infielders; F. Clay, A. Fisher, J. Henry and C. Walker, outfielders; C. Thompson and B. Rynum, pitchers. BORDENTOWN AND CHEYNEY MEET. Saturday, April 21, Bordentown held a dual meet with Choyney Training School. In the morning the Cheyney boys defeated Bordentown in track by the narrow margin of 31½ to -30½ points. Capt. Pierre of Bordentown and Capt. Folk of Cheyney were the strong point winners of their respective teams. The greatest surprise of the day was the defeat of Cheyney's great 100-yard and 220-yard men, Polk, Blanchard and Hooper. Council of Bordentown came first in the 100-yd, dash and Capt. Folk took first in the 220-yd. Bordentown also showed up well in the high and broad jumps. In the afternoon the tables were turned—this time Bordentown defeating Cheyney in baseball by the score of 8-6. The teams were evenly matched and the contest was stubbornly fought and was not decided until Council broke the 6-6 tie in the last half of the ninth inning by bringing Wilson home on a home run hit. Games are now pending with Bordentown Military Institute, Princeton M. C. A. and Lincoln University SHAW DEFEATS LINCOLN.
