100 Negro Longshoremen Reach France to Work for United States Government One hundred picked longshoremen, all colored, have just arrived in France and have been put to work by the United States Government loading and unloading ships carrying munitions of war, according to advisers received by The Age from its European correspondent. The longshoremen are all from New Orleans, and have signed con- MARY CHURCH TERRELL'S SPEECH RILES MR. THRIFT (Special to The New York Am) BALTIMORE, Md.—When Comptroller Thrift, who represented Mayor Preston, started to present the diplomas to the members of this year's graduating class of the Colbred High School, he sharply distented from the views just expressed by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, that the European war would aid the Negro's progress in the United States. The Comptroller evidently "host his head," for his remarks were such as to arouse the ire of many in the audience, who hissed him. Mr. Thrift was born in Virginia and of course has some peculiar notions about the Negro of today and his future. In an interview, published next day in the Baltimore Evening Sun, Comptroller Thrift admitted that the utterances of Mrs. Terrell had riled him and that he had told the audience he did not think the time would ever come in this country when there would be a general breaking down of the barrier of races, such as Mrs. Terrell had m in the railroad and other lands of music and many other forms. A com- munity by which the railroad and music are connected is the Railroad Society of the United States. The Society is a federally incorporated organization that involves every citizen. The Controller seems to be imbued with the caution notion that Holy Grow cared for the social development and all the Western weekly that there was or is a desire to draw the color line in the Holy Ghost Roman Catholic Church for colored people, proved without any foundation in fact. The story has been denounced in very strong terms by Father Schmodry, the devoted and pious pastor, and by Father Hyland, his worthy assistant, as well as by the members of the church generally. In none of the auxiliaries of the church is there any suggestion even of a color line and of course in the church no seats are reserved or set apart for any one; "first come, first serve," being the general order followed by the ushers, as the pews are free. The pastor and his assistant have consistently preached unity and fraternity and worked faithfully to make the Holy Ghost Church a happy and contented congregation of Christians. MAY FORM INDEPENDENT BRANCH OF M. E. CHURCH (Special to THE NEW YORK ACADEMY TRANSEVER CITY, Mich.) The joint commission on the unification of Methodism assumed its sessions Wednesday, June 26, 2014, in conjunction at Baltimore last December. The delegates from the M. E. Church South are favorable to coalition with the Negro in an independent church. Dr. John F. Goucher, of Baltimore, a commissioner from the M. E. Church, is also said to favor the Southern plan. Dr. I. Garland Penn and Dr. R. E. Jones are the colored representatives of the M. E. Church.

The longshoremen are all from New Orleans, and have signed contracts with the United States Government for one year—work or plays—the salaries ranging from $65 to $100 monthly, with board and lodging and medical attention free. The one hundred longshoremen referred to in the cablegram to THE AGE, left New Orleans Wednesday, June 6, over the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for New York, sailing for Europe from Hoboken. They left in two companies of fifty men each, and were escorted The one hundred longshoremen now abroad are members of the P. B. V. Association of New Orleans. Before leaving special services were held on the afternoon of June 6 at the Longshoremen's hall. The sermon was preached by the Rev. John Marks of the Sixth Baptist Church, and addresses were made by the Rev. Mr. Hubbs, A. J. Ellis, J. Madison Vance, Major Stafford of the United States Army, Fritz Godfrey, superintendent of the Longshoremen's Association, and its president, Albert Workman. The services of the longshoremen were secured by the Government through the efforts of President Albert Workman and Fletcher T. Chinn. It is generally understood that the sending of the one hundred longshoremen from New Orleans marked the first move by the Government to send first class Negro stevedores to France in large numbers. My dear Bishop Walters: 38 State W. St., Trenton, N. J. Cordially and sincerely yours, SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. — The rumor is in circulation here that an army board of physicians is about to recommend the retirement of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Young. United States Army on the grounds of alleged "high blood pressure." Friends of Lieutenant-Colonel Young assert that he is in the best of physical condition. He says he never felt better in his life and well able to continue in the active service of the United States Army. Negroes throughout the country would regard the retirement of Lieutenant-Colonel Young as a racial calamity, and would look upon such a move as ill-advised at this time. If retained in active service and promoted to the rank of Colonel he would stand sixth in the line of Colonels for promotion to a Brigadier-Generalship.

THE CEREMONY Colored Women Take Part in "Silent Parade" on Fifth Avenue for Red Cross The white and colored promen of New York are co-operating with the great Red Cross. Drive for freedom and the Woman's Auxiliary of the South Regiment took part Monday in the "silent stallionary parade" on Fifth avenue, held under the auspices of the National League for Women's Service, which marked in the history of the colored women of the city. The parade extended from Fourteenth street to Fifth ninth street, with WIN PROMOTIONS AT FORT DES MOINES (Special) Truck Company, Amc) Fork Des Moines,—Robert Fearing of the Fifteenth Infantry, who is attending the Infantry Officers' Training Camp, has been appointed Sergeant Major of the Fifteenth Infantry at Fort Des Moines. The recent Russian attack of the Fort Des Moines has been made corporals in Company 12.1 Fritz R. Greaves, James L. Norris, Lee A. Polard, William Crevellier, W. C. Niccolls, George H. Brown, Ira Aldridge, Edward R. Rudd, William L. Gee, James McCoy and William Bullock have been made corporals in Company 1. Twenty-five men arrived Saturday from the Twenty-fifth Infantry, which is stationed in Hawaii. There are now 250 non-commissioned officers in camp who are acting as instructors. "The first step in the making of an officer," declared Col. C. C. Ballou, commanding officer, to the candidates, "is the making of a soldier." "We have organized the men into a regiment of fourteen companies and each man will receive precisely the same training, regardless of his previous station in military or civil life." Fourteen of the sixteen regiments of the Negro division, which will be drafted this fall, will be officered from the regiment now at Fort Des Moines. Each of the fourteen companies will furnish the officers for one regiment. Col. Ballou says the physical average of the camp is unusually high. "You know it is said there is no such thing as a perfect man, but the examining doctors here tell me that they have passed a number of men in whom they failed to find physical defects," the colonel recently told a newsman First Week at Camp. The first week of training at the camp proved to be a great success to both instructors and pupils. The men are standing up well under the vigorous training and the morale of the camp is high. After three days of drill without arms, the cadets were given the manual of arms, and under the personal supervision of the regular "non-cons" rapid progress was made in this difficult branch of drill. The other instruction for the week was devised to rite-practice, semaphore signalling, guard duty work and practice marching along the dusty Iowa roads. The cadets have taken a special liking to the signal work, and large numbers of them can be seen sending messages across the patade ground at all times in the day when they have a moment to spare. Saturday morning the regular weeklyn inspection was held by the commanding officers after an hour was devoted to a practice fire drill. The training for the coming week has not been published yet, but it is thought that it will not differ materially in kind, merely in degree. The men are being well fed, well housed, well clothed and above all, they are especially well pleased with the corps of officers in charge of the camp. Eighty-two non-commissioned officers from the 25th Infantry arrived at camp Saturday afternoon. The men came directly from Honolulu and will be assigned to the various companies to instruct the cadets in the rudiments of drill and at the same time to prepare themselves for the examinations in September, whereby they may be given their commissions. The veterans were under the charge of Sergeant Watson of Co. I. Among the men were numbered many old veterans and campaigners of the Spanish-American war and the Philippo O. J. Kincaid, Battalion Sergeant Major Wm. Andrews, Battalion Sergeant Major George Murphy, Sergeant Alonzo (Continued on Page two) twenty representatives from each cooperating body assigned to a block at a distance of ten feet apart. Representatives of the Woman's Auxiliary were assigned to the East Side of Fifth avenue, between Thirtieth and Thirty-first streets... Every woman participating was dressed in white and wore the official sailor hat with "National League Woman's Service" lettered on the band, and the Red Cross sash on the left arm. ANDERSON ATTENDS DINNER AT THE WALDORF Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Supervisor of Agriculture, was one of the guests at the dinner given by the Mayor Friday evening at the Waldorf Astoria in honor of the Italian Royal Commission, which included His Royal Highness, Ferdinand of Savoy, Prince of Udine, and the Hon. Guiglielmo Marconi. Mr. Anderson was seated at Table No. 55, with Nathan Straus, Henry J. Wright, John I. Waterbury, Col. George A. Wingate, Henry Seligman, B.-J. Greenhut Maj. J. F. G. Landon, Charles Tanner and Charles Dana Gibson. EPISCOPAL PRIESTHOOD Last Sunday, June 24, marked the celebration by the vestry and congregation of St. Augustine's Episcopal Church Brooklyn, of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ordination of the rector, the Rev. George Frazier Miller. A large number turned out at the morning service and listened to an edifying discourse by the rector, in which he touched upon the salient features of his ministry. At night the church was crowded to hear the sermon by the Rev. Henry L. Phillips, Archdeacon of Philadelphia. St Augustine's Church has grown largely in membership and influence in the community under the rectorate of Dr. Miller EARLY ONE MILLION WASHINGTON, D.C. According to official figures just given out, 9,659,382 Americans registered for selective army draft, between the ages of 21 and 31, of whom 7,347,749 were white and 953,899 were colored. The Indians who registered numbered 6,001. The claim is made in some quarters that hundreds of Negroes who have no difficulty passing for white registered as white, some taking offense at the unnecessary reference to African descent printed on the corner of the registration paper, and others because they are known in their respective communities as Caucasians. RED CROSS TAGGERS (Special to THE NEW YORK ACADEMY) NEW ROUILLE, N. Y.-M. Pattullo Harper was chaperon for six colored girls she called out Saturday, Red Cross "Tag Day." This is the first time in the history of the city that colored girls were invited to sell tags and it was done through the efforts of Mrs. Harper, who is a member of the American Red Cross Society. The girls made an excellent showing and their costumes and manners were highly complimented by the leading ladies. They made good, reporting $20.07. Other money turned over by Mrs. Harper was $10 on refreshments sold May 30, making a total already already of $10. She will give a concert June 28th. DES MOINES BUSINESS MEN TO SERVE NEGROES (Special to The New York Amp) FORT DE MOINES, Pa.—Several of the local restaurants and picture houses in the city of Des Moines have refused to accommodate members of the Reserve Officers' Training Camp, have been notified by Lieut. Bell, provost guard commander of the City of Des Moines, that the men in training at the Fort are here because the United States Government has ordered them to come and any discrimination whatever shown toward them in restaurants, church rooms or the剧院 would not be tolerated by the military authorities. Consequently all owners and proprietors who have been known to have discriminated against one or two of the cadets have been notified that at the first unfavorable report against them their licenses will be revoked. Discrimination in the city has not been widespread. It was only shown here and there by some narrow-minded proprietor. The city as a whole has been frank and open in its welcome of the cadets. Members of the Woman's Auxiliary taking part in the parade were: · Mrs. Adah B. Thoms, captain; Misses Edith Carter, Lucille Hyder, Willette Owens, Sarah McCoy, Ruth Strickland, Josephine Kellogg, Anna L. Jones, Emma Fox, Florence Treadwell, S. Elizabeth Frabier, Mesdamés Mary Bolin, N.-Y. Griffin, Montgomery Jones, A. M. Stewart, Knlock, Garcia, Tracy Cooper and Lucine Bailey. COLOR LINE SHARPLY DRAWN IN PANAMA White-Americans have taken their color prejudices to Panama, where, before the building of the Panama Canal was begun, there was no Negro problem. Since the invasion of the American, however, wholesale discriminations against the Negro exist, the color line, in some instances, being as closely associated with the American information has been brought to New York by one who spent several weeks in Panama, and was in a position to investigate conditions from every angle because of his light complexion. In describing conditions in Panama to an ACE representative, the following impressions were given: "The majority of Negroes in Panama are West Indians. There are few members of the race from the United States. The housing conditions of the people are very poor, due chiefly to the small salaries paid. Negroes are paid but from ten to twelve cents an hour. When the weather is inclement they are usually prevented from working and are the financial losers." "In contrast to the low salaries paid, Negroes are compelled to pay from $3 to $4 a week for a small room without light, little or no air and void of modern conveniences whatsoever. Much ado is made about the prevailency of so much sickness among the black people, but were they paid better wages they could live along more sanitary lines. I have seen men work in the rain, not wanting to lose anything on the week, thereby becoming ill from exposure. The color line is sharply drawn in the hospital, which is conducted under the supervision of the United States Government. One floor is used for whitish patients and the other for black patients. There are no accommodations for colored women or children. A larger hospital and a more liberal policy are needed in Panama. The periodical fires, burning out sections where Negroes reside, occur at certain intervals, and while the opinion prevails that they are of incendiary origin and destroyed to get rid of the old quarters, no effort is made by the authorities to prevent a recurrence of these conflagrations, which usually are accompanied by a loss of life. "The color ling in Panama reminds one of the inconsistent manner in which it is drawn in the South. Although the white man refuses to meet the Negro on the same social plane many instances may be cited showing him on most familiar terms with colored women. The customs of the place seem to be that no attention is paid to this immoral condition. "Many Negroes want to leave Panama, but the street immigration laws are such that they find it almost impossible. They are compelled to undergo a severe physical test, and besides must possess several hundred dollars. On account of the small wage and big expense, it is extremely difficult for them to get together a bank roll." NOTICE ! Owing to July 4 falling on a Wednesday, all news matter and advertisements must be in THE AGE office not later than Monday evening of next week. There are 183 Negro Beards representing an Investment of $22,000 —Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of United States Bureau of Education, State Interesting Report. Negroes of America are contributing voluntarily to educational institutions upwards of $500,000 a year, according to Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the United States Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, in his report on "Negro Education: A Study of the Private and Higher Schools, for Colored People in the United States," just issued. Dr. Jones has spent the past three years in personally visiting all the important institutions for the education of the Negro throughout the country, working under the joint auspices of the Federal Bureau and the Phelps-Stokes Fund of New York, and directly under the supervision of Dr. P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of Education. In his report Dr. Jones says that he has found "convincing evidence of the determination of the colored people to help themselves" and he characterizes the development of schools in the rapidly has the progress been that there are now 153 schools under Negro boards representing an investment in plant and equipment of $2,305,054 and an annual income for current expenses of more than $480,000. These schools employ 828 teachers and workers and have an enrollment of 17,299 pupils of whom 14,686 are elementary, 2,498 secondary, and 115 collegiate and professional. Of the total 153 schools Dr. Jones rates sixty as essential parts of the educational systems of the States in which they are situated. Of the ninety-three remaining institutions, some are sincere in purpose but handicapped by lack of funds or had management, and others are the result of jealousy between factions. In addition to supporting these 153 schools, the race is giving out of its own pocket a considerable sum to extend the terms of some of the public schools. Dr. Jones estimates that the Negroes of America are contributing voluntarily to educational institutions' upwards of $500,000 a year. Public and Private Institutions. All told there are 625 private schools and 122 secondary public institutions discussed in the report. They represent a property investment of $35,870,000 and an annual income for current, expenses of $4,241,572. Institutions under public control consist of Howard University, which is a Federal institution; sixteen land-grant schools, eleven State schools, sixty-seven city high schools, and twenty-seven county training schools. The private institutions include 118 with independent boards of trustees, 354 under white church boards, and the 153 maintained by the colored people themselves. Taking the group as a whole, all 122 of the public institutions and 266 of the private schools are rated as "larger or important," that is, essential parts of the educational system. In a chapter entitled "Public School Facilities," Dr. Jones discusses in great detail the exact status of State and county provision for the education of the 8,500,000 Negroes in the South. His findings are based upon the census figures and the official reports of State and county school superintendents. He finds that the allotment for the Negro schools averages for the whole South one-fourth of what it would be if school funds were apportioned between the two races on the basis of population. The inequality becomes most pronounced in the counties whose population is more than three-fourth colored. In these counties the per capita for colored children is $1.78; for white children, $22.22. Discussing in another part of his report the relative interest taken by the South in its white and colored public schools, Dr. Jones says: "The rapid increase of the appropriations for white schools during the past few years, and especially the multiplication of white high schools in the Southern States, have given rise to the belief that the appropriations for Negro schools have actually deceased. While this is probably true in some counties, the school records show an increase in the State appropriations for both the white and colored schools. "According to the report of the State Superintendent, the expenditures for white schools in Alabama increased tenfold between 1880 and 1910, while those for the Negro schools doubled.

Dr. Jones further expresses nunself a follows: "Democracy's plan for the solution of the race problem in the Southland is not primarily in the philanthropies and wisdom, of the northern people; nor is it in the desires and struggles of the colored people, or eyes in the firstland and daily contacts of the southern white people. Democracy's plan is in the combination of the best thought and the deepest sympathy and the most abiding faith of these three groups working with mutual faith in one another." PROMINENT SPEAKERS AT TUSKEGEE SCHOOL (Special to THE NEW YORK ACA) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—The eighth annual session of the Tuskegee Institute Summer School for Teachers closed the second week with an enrollment of 234. The indications are that this number will increase from week to week. Vice Principal Warren Ogan, in the absence of Dr. Moton, welcomed the teachers at the opening general assembly meeting held at 11 o'clock. He said that Tuskegee's doors were always open to teachers. Devotions are held at each of the assembly meetings, and a special musical program is always presented. Together with this, the teachers sing enthusiastically the old plantation melodies.

Haynes, Misk University, Nashville, Tenn., and H. Pon, M. L. Brittain, Superintendent of Education for the State of Georgia, and the members of the Tuskegee Institute Faculty. Mr. Riley paid a glowing tribute to the loyalty and faithfulness of the colony "The Demand of the New Order." He said that the old order had changed and that the new order comes. It brings with it a new idea of the worth of the masses of men. He discussed the part the Negro is playing in the new order, and said that the Negro needed now, political change, organization based upon purpose and devotion. On Monday of the second week, Clement Richardson, head of the Division of English, spoke on "Reading" M. L. Brittain was the speaker on Wednesday. His subject was "The Making of a citizen." The Tuskegee Institute Summer School offers to all ambitious teachers courses covering review and advanced literary subjects, professional subjects, and industrial classes in manual training, domestic science, sewing, canning, agriculture and handicrafts. Certain courses are also offered for the extension of their studies in teachers. The teachers in attendance are attracting much favorable comment because of their earnestness and faithfulness. They begin work at 7 00 o'clock in the morning. The social features are not forgotten. On each Saturday evening a moving picnic shop is provided for the teachers. The teachers entertainments.

CONSTRUCTION STARTED (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) St. Louis, Mo.—A contract for the erection of the John Wall Construction Company, to cost $150,000, was awarded recently to the John Hill Construction Company by the Metropolitan Board of Directors. Work has already begun and the structure is to be completed within one year. The new building will be at the southeast corner of Swing avenue and Pine street, and will cover the entire lot, 130 square feet, fronting Pine street. It will be four stories high, and will contain a swimming pool, gymnasium, for 400 students, classrooms and a regulation equipment for a boy's department, as well as for men. This building results from a campaign about a year ago in which the Negroes of St Louis raised $69,000 and their share of the cost. The St Louis campaign broke all records for the largest amount raised by Negroes for a Y M C. A. building in an American city. Last year, a local campaign made by an individual of the race was that of $5,000 by A. K. Malone. Frank L. Williams, principal of the Summer High School, is chairman of the Board of Managers.

Col. Charles Young, as was indicated in THE AGE a few weeks ago, is another evidence of the determined effort being put forth to restrict patriotism to those wearing white skins. Lieutenant-Colonel Young is the ranking officer of the race in the United States Army, having advanced further than any of his predecessors. His retirement at this time would avert his nearing promotion to the rank of Colonel, after which he would stand sixth in the line of the candidates for Brigadier General. A firing board is the only method of preventing his justly earned promotion. There should be a sufficient sense of justice and fairplay in the American people and in the Congress to prevent such a glaring injustice. Let the race appeal to this sense of fairplay in Congress by each one writing to his Senator and Representative to protest against this premeditated injustice. Licutenant-Colonel Young is at the Letterman General Hospital, where he is undergoing further examination as to his physical fitness. THE PLEDGE OF 1912. President Wilson has designated the present week as recruiting week for the regulars. The Administration wants seventy thousand men enrolled for the army by June 30. The Democracy in the saddle at Washington has backed and filled on the question of accepting Negroes as volunteers. Some recruiting officers have enrolled them for the army while others have refused them. As for the navy, they have been accepted only to serve as stewards' or scullions. But it remained for the recruiting stations in Baltimore to make the bald announcement that Negroes were not wanted under any consideration in the following circular, printed in red, ink: The fact that you have registered in compliance with 'Conscription Law makes no difference. You still have the right to volunteer your services. Pay $30.00 per month and up, MUST BE WHITE, between the ages of 18 and 40. Cavalry, Infantry, Field Artillery, and Medical Department are still open. Quartermaster Corps, Bakers Corps, Signal Corps, Telegraph and Wireless Operators only. No consent of parents or guardian necessary. BE A PATRIOT If you want to fight for your country, enlist to-day. Apply to your postmaster or any of the following recruiting offices. So the Democratic administration officially proclaims that the injunction, "Be a Patriot" is not ad- dressed to Negroes. A patriot "must be white." Does President Wilson realize that his seventy thousand needed recruits could easily have been raised among Negroes alone? The State of New York has raised a regiment of over two thousand Negroes, under the command of Col. William Hayward, thereby proving the willingness of the race to "do its bit." And this was the first regiment of the State to be filled to the required war strength. The qualities of the black troops as fighters have been attested on too many fields of battle to need repetition here. On what ground then can the Administration base its undemocratic exclusion of the race from a war waged in behalf of the democracy of the world? Cannot the southern Democracy in power at Washington wipe the cobwebs of prejudice from its eyes and recognize a patriotism based on manhood and ability, without regard to race or color? Let President Wilson recall the words he wrote to the late Bishop Walters, in October 1912, which we reproduce in another part of this issue "Absolutely fair dealing" was his pledge. It is not yet too late to redeem it. When will the President redeem it? SELF-HELP IN EDUCATION. That is "a truly remarkable achievement," as Dr. Jones of the Bureau of Education terms it, in his report, referred to in another column, treating of the development of schools maintained solely through the initiative of Negroes. Half a million dollars is the figure at which the voluntary contributions of the race for educational institutions is put at for each year. This is apart from the other money paid in the form of taxes, and is a supplementary offering to supply the deficiencies of the public funds raised for educational purposes. Many interesting and encouraging facts are disclosed by Dr. Jones' investigation, which discusses in a most thorough manner the results accomplished as well as the shortcomings to be remedied in the matter of education in the South. The determination of the race to help itself has been the quality that most impresses one as a factor in the solution of the vast problem presented in the unequal distribution of school funds in the South. We find that the allotment for Negro schools is but one-quarter of what it would be. if the school funds were apportioned between the two races on the basis of population. How to remedy and offset this disparity is one of the most pressing questions before us. Earnest and determined appeal to local authorities has been resorted to in some localities with encouraging results. When this method fails private contributions have been used to supplement the inadequate provision by public funds. But the determination to provide an education cannot be daunted. Dr. Jones' report should receive the careful study of all those interested in the various phases of the important subject that he discusses A SLOGAN FOR VICTORY. Devising a slogan, or battle cry, to inspire the soldiers of the United States when they take the field against the common enemy, as Germany has become, is one of the subjects that has filled considerable newspaper space the past few weeks "All for America." "Let's Go," "Hock der Kaiser, 'Raus mit ihn' and various other outbursts, pertinent and otherwise, have been suggested by patriotic editors and correspondents. Singularly enough, a correspondent of the New York Sun finds authority for the use of the phrase, "Let's Go," in an incident of the Cuban campaign. According to this observer, regulars and volunteers were waiting for the order to advance to the taking of San Juan Hill, in a hail storm of bullets from the Spanish sharpshooters, which VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHINSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR ONE-SIDED ADVICE. The following signed editorial appeared in the New York American last Saturday morning: TO THE AMERICAN NEGRO. By Herbert Kaufman. . . a million white men perished to self the world is defending against a land and sea. . . set you free now calls upon you until to protect its honor, your franchise gave us in trust, to have and to banner of the free to the moment's special privilege defy eulightenment, a reman master of self and challenge of Lincoln, the martyr, and of the nation, come forward and vindicate of brotherhood—as thousands of yours and their souls when need was for you in the days to follow, that none in account of themselves and served the yesteryear the American Negro. Do you particular quarrel with Mr. Kirk for captions, for we have no doubt that we cannot fail to note that the manner in which he framed Kaufman, in a manner, throws up the men perished to secure for us the fact that two hundred the purpose. He ignores the stance, before they themselves were a piece of American white men. Lions upon black men in the name the valiant deeds of white men better taste and more effective men in the name of the valiant men on the Commons of Boston, New Orleans, at Fort Wagner and on the plains of Carrizal. Instead we have to make is Kaufman is fervently calling upon always done and what they have a do. In our opinion, a quantifiable wasted. Instead of an appeal to is a protest to the powers at W. Southern policy which seeks toavy. In 1801-5 half a million white men perished to secure for you the privileges which half the world is defending against a horde that threatens liberty on every land and sea. The flag that set you free now calls upon you as a citizen and a constitutional equal to protect its honor, your franchise and the sacred principles which God gave us in trust, to have and to hold eternally. We bring the banner of the free to the momentous fields on which the champions of special privilege defy eulenment and deny your blood-won right to remain master of self and challenger of circumstance. In the name of Lincoln, the martyr, and of the valiant hosts that died for your salvation, come forward and vindicate the nation's faith in your fitness for brotherhood—as thousands of your race have showed courage and proved their souls when need was for patriots. Let it be said in the days to follow, that none in these United States rendered a better account of themselves and served the Stars and Stripes with greater loyalty than the American Negro. Do your duty. We have no particular quarrel with Mr. Kaufman, and we do not wish to appear captions, for we have no doubt that in his heart he is all right, but we cannot fail to note that he is guilty, of bad taste, at least, for the manner in which he frames his appeal. When Mr. Kaufman, in a manner, throws up to us that in 1861-5 half a million white men perished to secure for us certain privileges, he entirely ignores the fact that two hundred thousand black men fought for the same purpose. He ignores the still more impressive fact that black men, before they themselves were free, fought bravely for the independence of American white men. This appeal calls upon black men in the name of what has come to them through the valiant deeds of white men. It would have been, we say, in better taste and more effective if the appeal had called upon black men in the name of the valiant deeds which they themselves performed on the Commons of Boston, at Bunker Hill, on Lake Erie, at New Orleans, at Fort Wagner and Fort Hudson, at San Juan Hill and on the plains of Carrizal. But the main comment we have to make is that this appeal is needless. Mr. Kaufman is fervently calling upon colored men to do what they have always done and what they have already shown they are now ready to do. In our opinion, a quantity of first rate eloquence has been wasted. Instead of an appeal to colored men, the thing that is needed is a protest to the powers at Washington against the undemocratic Southern policy which seeks to keep the Negro out of the army and navy. HOW TO STOP WAR a while one, especially one wh it comes like a discovery. These come like a flash. Sometimes s of the night and the one to wh up immediately and jet it down that he can't recall it to save h Every once in a while one, especially one who is a writer, gets a new thought that comes like a discovery. These thoughts are not thought out, they come like a flash. Sometimes such a thought will come in the dead of the night and the one to whom it is flashed, if he is wise, will get up immediately and jet it down; for in the morning he may find that he can't recall it to save his life. Of course, too, he may find in the morning that the thought was not worth getting out of bed for. Nevertheless, it is always well to make a note of such thoughts whenever they come, for it is to these thoughts which flash out of the dark that most of the revolutionary progress of the world is due. Often a person who gets one of these flashes will carry it around in his mind for days or weeks or months, maybe, for years, wondering all the while why so obvious a truth had not occurred to somebody else. In the majority of instances he will wake up some day to find that the same thing has been flashed to others, perhaps long before it was flashed to him. The writer had such an experience several weeks ago, and he carried the thought around saying to himself, "I'll make an article out of that." A few days ago, in reading, he came across an expression of the same idea. But as this thought was flashed to him, regardless of how many times or how long ago it may have been flashed to others, he feels that he has the right to make his article out of it just the same. Many times we have considered and written about the various methods that have been suggested for stopping war. All of these methods have appeared to us either as impossible or impracticable. But the other day it came to us, as a bolt out of a clear sky, the sure and easy method of stopping war. A method so sure and so easy that it makes it difficult to see why men should have wasted their time devising plans for all the nations to disarm or to support an international army and navy or to organize an international supreme court. The writer was watching a regiment of militia march up Fifth avenue. And they passed by, company after company, boys, boys, boys. Boys twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three years of age. Then there flashed the truth that all we need to do to stop war is to turn the conscription laws around. Instead of making the first call for boys between the ages of twenty to thirty, let it be made for men between the ages of fifty to sixty-five. Boys have nothing to do with making wars. Some of them never even learn what the wars are really about. The men who make wars, the diplomats, the star chamber statesmen, the great soldiers, the rulers of nations, and the men who call on the boys to do the fighting are practically all between the ages of fifty and sixty-five. Now, the very difficulty of accepting this plan is due to its simplicity. It seems too easy to be true. But think it over Even those who are not convinced that the plan will stop war absolutely, must admit that it has one other great advantage. Suppose the men who make wars did show that they were willing to be the first to answer the call to fight them, the initial and greatest loss to a nation would be of those who had already about fulfilled the was thinning then tanks. A black sergeant firing of the enforced inaction, and in defiance of all regulation, turned to his comrades and said, "Let's go, boys, and take the Spamands." And the charge followed with the result that is now history. The point of this anecdote is that it appeared in the newspaper that has strenuously insisted that Negroes make good soldiers only when led by white officers. It is some-that remarkable that this refutation was permitted to appear in the columns of so strenuous an advocate. The office cat must have been mapping desires and purposes of life, and not of those who still had life and all its possibilities before them. To those who might feel that such a result would mean to a state the loss of most of its men of wisdom and experience, we say: if the men between fifty and sixty-five can't run the world any better than it is being run to-day, let the boys have a try at it. But we believe the plan would work. IN DARKEST TENNESSEE.

Here is a case which we do not believe could be duplicated in the whole colored population of Shelby County. Yet, although Spencer Aroowood has never read a newspaper and has never heard of registration or selective conscription, we would not hesitate to wager that he gathered all of the details of the burning of Ell Person. GETTING MORE THAN THEY BARGAINED FOR. There is a sort of ironical humor about the turn many things are taking as a result of the war. We have several times called attention to the fact that the cry: "We are fighting for democracy," which several of the nations at war have used as a rallying cry, is nothing more than so many words. The very men who raised and who use this cry do not practice or believe in democracy; but they did know that it was about the only appeal that could be made to the people in this age. We have England claiming, in the name of democracy and the right of weaker states to rule themselves, that the smaller nations of Europe must be self-governing and free; while she herself holds a tight grasp on India and Egypt, on the best part of Africa and a thousand islands of the sea. We have the United States pledged to right the wrongs of oppressed Belgians; while millions of her own citizens are "Jim Crowed" and disfranchised and lynched and burned within her own borders. But the men who are in control of governments and who raised the cry of "Democracy for the world!" must be dumbfounded when they contemplate that the idea they put out merely as so many words is materializing into a fact. Just glance at the issue of Wednesday morning's paper, and note the trend of events in England and Spain and in this country. Many of the results coming out of the war are directly opposed to the desires of the reactionary groups that were all in favor of war. Many of them are directly in line with the progressive groups that were all opposed to war. It is almost amusing to watch the conflicting emotions and expressions of the great newspapers who were strong for war, but who are now mighty weak on most of the domestic results that are coming forth. Results are coming that will mean match for the Negro, if he will only watch and take advantage of the opportunities as they arise. SPEAK UP, MPR. DANIELS! Some weeks ago the Editor of TN Are forwarded the following communication to the Secretary of War Hon Josephus Daniels. Secretary of Navy, Washington, D.C. My dear Sir — I beg to ask for the following information in order that I may give the readers of this paper intelligent answers to their questions in reference to the attitude of the Navy. Department toward the members of our race. We have the policy of your department to give the Negro a square deal. That is to say, will he have an equal chance with the white enlisted man along all lines? Is it true that Negroes enlisting in the Navy are relegated to mental positions? The Navy, as you know, is a most loyal and patriotic citizen and as the government is in need of its strongest and most reliable officers it would seem that every encouragement should be given when they offer to enlist and are accepted. That government and this administration believes in and will give them equal opportunity. Please advise me at the earliest date possible, the exact attitude of the department. Yours very truly, (Stafford) FREED R. MOORE To date Mr. Daniels has refrained from answering the above communication STATE OF MIND THAT WINS. STATE OF MIND THAT WINS. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK Agr. Away out here on the outskirts of the hurricane in which the world is now equalled, a month after the United States has been drawn into its furious circles, my mind turns to what the people at home may be doing toward preparing themselves for the trying days ahead of them. I have read on what the Government has done and is doing toward the larger outline of organization for grouping the people for their self-protection and for country, but what are the people themselves doing individually toward schooling themselves to in the organizations which the Government is building for them, that they may act in concert for their protection? Are they bringing their individual state of mind to the point where it will allow them to give the best that is in them to the work which is in front of them, harnessed in the new machinery? As an old soldier my mind turns to these things with a full knowledge of the battle field and a fair knowledge of the diverse racial construction and pet holdings of the American people on subjec- tive military. I have been wondering what I can be able to put behind them all their local and local differences; all their sectional and provincialisms; in the interest of the local job that is in front of them, and bring us to the state of mind that will allow the authorities to get the best results out of the minimum of effort and mur- As an old soldier I know that if there is any place on earth where efficiency counts it is the battlefield' and County, Tennessee, the county in mostly arrested a slacker.

It should be borne in mind that this war is going to put behind us a good many of our cherished old institutions and ideas about individual independence; it is going to require us to give up more for the whole than any American has ever yet dreamed of giving up. This will require on the part of the individual to a large extent a new state of mind States' rights will largely go into the aisle to tar so far as practice is concerned and the authority of the nation will be centered at Washington to an extent we never dreamed of seeing. We will weaken our fighting efficiency if we go about preparing ourselves for the job in hand with a doubtful feeling toward these changes and a half heartedness toward the men entrusted with the task of directing Party politics will for the time have to down and the back-county teeling towards arming black men in the South will have to go. And we shall have to see these things go with willingness, if we are to be effective. I have read a great deal about Prussian ruthlessness on the battlefield, depicted in able written articles by able men. But I am sure none of these gentlemen have had experience on the battlefield. Scientific efficiency on the battlefield can not be anything else to the unanticipated, but ruthlessness. What I hope to see is that the American people so school themselves for this job that when Prussianism meets them it will know that it has met Americanism. School themselves, for this job in hand as men do when they get into building a great building, boring the great tubes for underground railways of any other hard and difficult task that requires foresight, coolness, determination. The Germans bring onto the battlefield the same ideas they use in their great works in shop and mine, and we must do no less. They obey implicitly their commanders because they have confidence in their judgment, and from an enlightened self-interest. They go into a fight with the cool determination of a man laying braces; with the feeling that the foe never conquers until the last individual is done. There is no manliness sentiment about losses; there is no fear. To meet them with success we have got to go at them with the same ideas; it must be Greek meeting Greek. And to have armies so efficient we have got to muzzle every spirit good intentoned or not, in the country against us so making them My mind some times reveres back to July 1, 1898, at San Juan, and as I think of the almost helpless soldiers (no respect to the volunteers - intended they were but the creatures of our institutions) that were sent to help us Regulars do the job at Santiago, I have but to laugh, when I think what would have happened to us had we been faced by a determined like the Japanese or Germans. I trust that I may never see on the battlefield (and I trust to be able to see again the battlefield of the government will have me) a conclusion like that I may move now when we advised to the attack. I refuse here to come home because it. I wish only three to witness it again amongst a force with which I am connected. Men living about everywhere, judging from an unseen foe; dodging bullets they could not see; frozen to the ground from fear; without any of the feeling "that lightning never strikes in the same place twice—boys, come on!" My idea of a soldier is one so trained that he is steeped with the feeling that a soldier not dead is not hurt, and that whines and complaints find no place in the battlefield; be conditions what they may. Prussianism is largely made up of this. Americanism can be, and must be made of it too, for military purposes, if we are to be effective. Let us know from our trust in the brains of our Edisones to match the German geniuses in supplying us with machines to fight with, and then go to the fight with the cool determination of the man on a harvester in a wheat field. It requires but a state of mind to make us thus efficient. Are we willing to concede the things necessary for our officers so to train us? Let us hope we will be, for we have a big job ahead of us—as I see it. JNO. W. CALLOWAY. Ex-Twenty-fifth and Twenty-four infantryman. THE WHITE MAN'S PROBLEM. The following, dealing with the Negro problem, written by Elwin C. Wakley, recently appeared in the New York Tribune: H. L. Jacob's letter, "No Negro Problem," makes stronger my connection that such as he are right, that there is no Negro problem. On the contrary, there is a white man's problem, the first element of which is to get a fair view and a fair statement of the relation of the whites and the blacks in that country from the white dominants of the South and their militants in the North. Mr. Jacobs confuses "social equality" with equality of civil rights. Political rights are the rights to vote and to be represented in the creation of the laws which describe legitimate and proscribe illegitimate actions in the democracy. Civil and civic rights are those rights which emerge from the conditions of civil life, public association, and which demand recognition in the equal interest of all who participate in that life. These include, conspicuously, the right of chosen residence, the right to travel in all public conveyances without discrimination, the right of access to all means of public education, as schools, libraries and museums; the right to be served in all shops, theaters, restaurants, hotels and other places of public entertainment and accommodation; equality of presence on the streets and in parks. When we come to the terms "social equality," "social rights," we have reached, I should say, the line between public and private; and the one right that emerges from the worker of confused definition is simply and only the right of each household to choose the friends and guests who will be persona grata in his or her home. "It is only the vilest wretches who are lynched," says Mr. Jacobs, meaning, of course, those who are guilty of sexual offences. There is no excuse for such an assertion. Statistics carefully compiled for years, based on reports from the South itself, show that only about one-third of the lynchings were due to rape, attempted rape and unsubstantiated charges of rape, combined. Negroes have been lynched for scores of offences and alleged offences, from rape to "imprisonment." And if you are going to lynch, and with torture, black men who are charged with the "usual crime" by you not lynch, and with torture, white men who are charged with the same crime? Yes, some Negroes were attacked by white men in New York recently. Why? Because the white men were trying to enforce the Southern rule of "no social equality," meaning by "social equality the civil right to buy goods where white men were purchasing the same kind of goods. Why twit the North with following your example? "The colored schools, as a rule, are as good as the white schools" Will Mr Jacobs put his assertion to the test of fact by giving us the figures from the various states of the South, showing the appropriations per capita of school population for white and black, the pay of teachers the length of school terms, the training accounts and are as good as the teachers in other states as they are asserted to be in Virginia, of which state only Mr Jacobs ventures to testify? And is their solution, which Mr Jacobs says so delightts them, always respected? Minding One's Own Business We of the North repeatedly are told to mind our own business. Well why did the white South rage within all the burgers when Booker T. Washington was invited by Theodore Roosevelt to sit at table with him? Why did the innner of the Cosmopolitan Club in New York some years ago bring to us some angry demotion from Virginia the South not exercise a like self-treatment? "We respect the Negro in Virginia." The Negroes are leaving Virginia because we owed whiskey out of our state. Respect men because 'Ceyar to drink themselves to death.' Queen As a matter of fact, they 'respect' the Negro who does not know how to every white him. 'The bachelor him as an economic asset so long as he will remain distrained and a manual helper. When he comes a Kelly Miller, a W.B. Du Rous, a Carter Woolson, the father-clause him or thrust him into third class, Jim Gram car. Respect." And only the Southerner knows the Negra. As only the Turk and the Bed and the Anat know the Armenian is only the Carr's Russians know the Jew. That is always the right of the deme of equal rights—only the oppressed understand it, the oppressed! No can understand a people and treat them justly who sees only the race label who recognizes individual aspirations and a movement blames and submits the race as a whole for the transmission and weaknesses of some of its members. No democracy is possible where there are castes of race, where any race is denied equality or opportunity in legal and civil rights, where members are set apart as peremptory inferior, where always they may lower, but where never they may up higher. I close as I began it is the white man's problem; trust, his education, his humanization. Washington Bureau, The New York Acq. 609 F Street N. W. Jeanette Carter, Manager. Washington, D. C.—One of the most important visitors to the National Capital of late is J. Hamilton Jackson of St. Croix, Virgin Islands, U. S. A., editor of the St. Croix Herald, who is rooming at the Y. M. C. A. He will remain in the country some months studying conditions here, especially as they affect the Negro people. He is a young man of splendid intellect and address. Next Sunday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, he will address the Woman's Wage Earners' Association on "Conditions, in St. Croix and Washington As They Affect the Race." The association has leased the entire building at 704 T street northwest, and will use it for the purpose of the association. Last Sunday's meeting was notable for the number of visitors and a remarkable address on "Race Delphinquies" by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls at Lincoln Heights, District of Columbia. What the Negro people need here and everywhere else in the country is the success of inspiration, and they are gettin at in small dose, to be sure, and that is the main thing. On or about July 10 the Industrial Savings Bank, at 2006 Eleventh street, northwest, will open their new building for business. They will occupy the entire corner of Eleventh and U streets. The banking institution grew out of the Laborers and Realty Company, organized in 1906. The bank was organized February 16, 195, with 6 depositors and a capital of $5,000; today the bank is capitalized at $30,000, with 1560 depositors. The growth of this banking venture has been remarkable because John W. Lewis, its promoter, is a self-educated man, born in Carolina County Virginia, in August, 1877. He came to Washington May 4, 1894 and worked as a hodierker for fourteen years. His banking and other financial undertakings have been backed by the hodierkers and laborers in other occupations. Mr. Lewis is a sober, hard working man and the people who stand by him are people like himself. In time the men and women of the race in the District of Columbia who own large wealth and deposit their money in white banks will appreciate Mr. Lewis and his work and deposit their money in the Industrial Savings Bank, but they are not doing so. The officers of the bank are John W. Lewis, president: W. S. Carter, vice-president: James H. Washington, treasurer: William A. Bowe cashier; W H Ricks, secretary: Zeph P Moore, counsel. We need more men like Mr. Lewis and his associates in the business life of Washington as examples of the success of inspiration. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. R Quivers have returned from St Louis, where Mr. Quivers was a delegate from the Colored Waiters' Union, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.

He and his wife, received marked attention and many courtesies from the convention members and executive officers. Mr. Quivers was appointed special organizer, the first of his race to receive such an honor, by the International body. Local 453 of St Louis came to the depot to see them off. While in St Louis Mr. and Mrs. Quivers were parts of Mr. and Mrs. J. H McDaniel at their home, 2940 Laclede avenue. Among former Washington friends they met were Dr. D. W. Scott and Dr. Ulysses S.

SPENCER SIVES HINTS TO THE 1sTH iiestenant-Lokee =o Spencer, of the Fifteenth, who has been giving “heart-to-heart talks” to the mem- bers of the regiment in Tie Act, has the following to say this week: | Last, week we took up the military’ system’ irom: the personal standpoint. This week we will consider the units that make up a company and by whom they are led. ‘The smallest unit is a “squad,” con- isting of seven imen and a corporal. This ts, s0 to speak, the family. It lives together ur the same tent and fights together jon the, firing-line. “Its mem= tiers shiuld help one’ another at all times and keep their; roubles to them- selves, the corporal to see that, as far as the interests Of good discipline will permit, anything” that goes wrong. in his ‘squad is setiled by him “and not taken higher up. In battle the squad is the unit that moves forward together and deploys under the direction of its. ‘own corporal. The corporal's command to his stjuad as he goes forward to bat: ile is: "Follow me," and the motto of every squad should be: “Follow the suuad leader at, all times.” The “platoon” is the next unit and ss composed of two, three, or four squads. Platoons ‘are, used "for con- venience in handling the men in drill and combat, Each platoon is com- imanded by a lieutenant or a sergeant. When all the new recruits have been received into a company. they will be sized off and the company divided into platoons according to the size “of the men. This is necessary both from. the point of ‘view of appearance and in order that the trenches may be dug the required depth of the men who are going to stand in them. If a short man {s alongside a tall man in a trgnch the {allman is lable to be exposed or the short man unable to see the enemy. Since returning from camp, certain of the Articles of War, which the Reg- lations require, shall’ be read to. the new recruits and enlisted men at least ouice i six months, have been read. Tis is done for the protection of the met, and any old member of the regi meni who hag not heard these articles Feadl should réport to his company com= tmander at vince. ‘A few setting-up exirerses_ ake being shwwit to the men of the regiment, and those whe are anxious 10 give (0 i¢ the hest that is in them are repeating them at home ‘every’ day. ‘The traditions of the military service of the U.S demand that every. mem- her thereat bea gentleman, ‘The fif- teenth has a record of good conduct at Peekskill, ofcwhich it may well be prod.

In other cases the men have washed their uniforms themselves, 80 there is no excuse” for a'man appearing untidy or dirty ‘Another way. some men show. they have forgotten their regimental pride is to walk about With coats unbuttoned and hands in pockets. The uniforms should be worn with every button fast- ened and collar hooked. No ornaments should be worn on the uniforms other than the ones preseribed by regulation, With the OD sshirt note is neces sary, unless. required by regimental of company order.
