NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. Ask-Wilson and Congress To Bring the East St. Louis Murderers To Speedy Justice Col. Thedore Roosevelt was commended for his strong words on democracy recently uttered at Carnegie Hall, mob-law condemned and resolutions were adopted calling on President Wilson, and members of Congress to punish the murderers of the East St. Louis victims at St. Mark's M. E. Church last Sunday evening. VOL XXX No. 43 Ask-Wilson To Bring Murdere Col. Thedore Roosevelt was co-democracy recently uttered at Car and resolutions were adopted calling bers of Congress to punish the n victims at St. Mark's M. E. Church. Dr. W. H. Brooks, who delivered his last sermon before joining the Fifteenth Regiment, of which he is chaplain, at Camp Whitman, also deplored the outrages committed in East St. Louis, declaring that "America is hardly yet prepared to go on a world-cleaning expedition with so much filth in her own backyard." The appeal to President Wilson and members of Congress to take action on the East St. Louis murders follows: WHEREAS, the awful atrocities at East St. Louis, Ill., in which helpless men, women and children were killed and their dead bodies burned with more than heathen-fighting men, the dearest to give an honest day's work for an honest day's wages, and WHEREAS, these murders were committed in the northern State which holds the ashes of the immortal Abraham Lincoln, and WHEREAS, this new outburst of cruelty is likely to recur at any time in any of the great centers of industry in the North. be it, therefore RESOLVED. That we, representing the lawabiding colored citizenship of New York City, do hereby register our utter abhorrence of the East St. Louis massacre and of the spirit which expressed itself in that massacre, and as loyal American citizen upon the Pledge of the United States and through him, the people of our common country, to put an immediate end to these murders and bring the murders to speedy punishment, thereby helping to make the world safe for democracy by making a democracy safe for the world and for mankind, without exception. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED. That we call upon New York's representatives, in the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States to do all in their power to bring the murders of the American citizen to the bar of justice. Following is the resolution adopted praising Col. Roosevelt for his fearless need for fair play and democracy: RESOLVED, That we tender to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt the assurance of our continued admiration and a full and unreserved expression of our deep and lasting abuke administered by him to the liegist of the East St. Louis murders. We regard it as a high privilege to be able to point to him as not only the world's greatest living statesman, but as one who is a "pillar steadfast in the storm" and who is the right of even the humblest in the land are assailed. Dr. Brooks' Sermon. Dr. Brooks in making a plea for social justice and a national righteousness said: An unjustifiable outrage has been committed; a foul crime perpetrated; a stain is on Old Glory and a blot upon the Republic. The ruthless injury of children, the shameful outrage of women, the women, the wanton murder of men and the pitiless destruction of homes are too harrowing for public repression and too shocking for the savages of Darkest Africa. Avoidance for crimes whether from the harshness of their hearts or the weakness of their heads are the worstoes of good government, for they give comfort to evildoers and weaken the forces that make for righteousness. No good is accomplished by concealing smallox or leprosy from the person and the public. If a building is on fire, turn in an alarm, wake up the sleepers. Idifference or concealment is death. Because of our love for our fellowman and our devotion to the flag and our loyalty to the country we turn in the alarm and cry. 'Wake up, American Wake up!' When America's greatest man some years ago punished a whole battalion of black soldiers for an unproven officer and that on the testimony of known prejudiced witnesses, we lifted our feeble voice in condemnation of the acts. Because wrong is no less wrong when committed by a friend than by a foe. But today when that same greatest American, if not the world's greatest, standed up in crowded Carnegie Hall and stood for justice and fair play, the rights of the lowliest and humblest of whatever color, creed or nationality, that man takes his place by the side of Abraham Lincoln, who took his place by the side of the lowly Nazarene. Great Cast Lot With Lowly. "I almost invariably the men who live in history have been those who cast the lot with the lowly. The Master was the friend of publican and sinner, Mormon with the Egyptian slaves; Paul was the castest Gentle world; Wesley Willettice, Victor Hugo, Lincoln, Balthus all became famous by their connection with the lowly and to this world, a noble men, we must add the name of Theodore Roosevelt. Taught with the glare of East St. Louis before me, of Coatesville, Pa., Waco Tex., Abbeyville, S. C., Memphis Trenn, and Paris, Ky., with their ringing in my car, with my heart born by anguish and compassion, yet I would be unworthy of my Master if my appeal and my prayer should be limited by racial affinity or blunted by racial interests. Jesus rose above race of blood to race of humanity when he cried, 'Come unto me all ye that labor, and are heavy laden and I will give thee rest. If any man thirst let him come unto me and drink.' And thus I plead the cause of all oppressed people in our fair America of whatever racial group, or creed or color. I plead for social justice and national righteousness. I stand on the Golden Rule as the Declaration of Independence. "It is a good sign that such a large number have spoken out, but I have been grieved that so many of our great daily papers or religious journals and our great preachers have been so silent for so long upon a subject that our Lord has had so much to say. Even Dr Sunday who has as no other preacher in America the ear of the world and who struck at everything else, was so silent on the crime, the sin of racial prejudice or social injustice and economic selfishness. "Such a scene as happened in East St. Louis would have been impossible if a united church and a united press had done their duty in training public opinion. There is hope for us as a nation if we have the moral courage to look our dereliction in the face and call it sin and then before the throne, face God and duty and follow where He leads. "America is hardly yet prepared to go on a world-cleaning expedition with so much filth in her own backyard; she can scarely claim the right to inspect other people's closets, with so many skeletons shut up in her own. "To deny people the right to improve their social, religious, economic and educational condition is not only slavery but tyranny. To hold people to the land as chattier, denying them adequate school privileges; limiting them in their social and religious functions; abridging their political rights; robbing them of their just reward for labor; lynching them upon the filmsiest pretense; and burning their homes and destroying their possessions, are crimes not only against a race but against humanity and are brutal as any of the unspeakable Turk, the abominable Leopold, or the heartless Germans "In Dante's Inferno, he gives us a picture of souls crawling up out of the lake of fire for a moment or two only to be thrust back again by maddened demons. Today we see black men and women, some of them are illiterate and all of them poor; they have heard of better wages, better schools, better treatment and have crawled up out of the burning lake only to be thrust back again by brave and heroic northern men after they were assured, by the officials that their victims were certainly unarmed. Let Carnegie give a medal to these brave white men who were not afraid of inoffensive, unarmed washerwomen and school boys, not afraid even of a dying Negro man who convinced he was really dying, or already dead Killed for Wanting to Work. "What has brought the Puritan and Pilgrims to our shores?" What carried the Cavaliers to the South and the 49ers to the Pacific Coast? What has brought the immigrants from the ends of the earth to our favored country with its unlimited resource and boundless wealth? What has brought thousands upon thousands of white men from the South to all our northern cities, colleges and universities? Was it not to improve their condition? If this is a virtue in others, pray why is it a crime in the black man? Has he not been accused of being lazy, shiftless and good-for-nothing? Now when he wakes up and endeavors to be good for something, why kill him as you would a mad dog? "May I call the attention of America to the fact that white men who burn the homes of Negroes are, teaching the Negro an awful lesson which he may be quick to learn and greatly tempted to use. "In the Civil War the black men of the South were the safeguards of the property of their masters as well, as the lives of their wives and children at the very time when they knew their masters were fighting to keep them in perpetual bondage. There is no record of a single act of violence or perfidy. Before this war is over the black man may again become the custodian of all that is sacred to human hearts—while the white race is butchering themselves on the battle field. You will find him true if you treat him as a man. "But if I had the ear of the black men of America I would plead, that while we should use every legitimate means to protect our homes and our lives, may it never be recorded that a black hand ever hurled a bomb, held a faggot, or lifted a sword against the defenseless, helpless and innocent. It is ever true that he who lifts the sword shall perish by the sword. Wrongs have never yet made a right. God is neither YOUNG IS RESTORED TO ACTIVE SERVICE WASHINGTON, D. C.—Lieutenant Colonel Young has been restored to active duty for the time being at the instance of Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, who has directed that another examining board convene for the express purpose of passing on the noted Negro army officer's physical fitness. The first news that Lieutenant Colonel Young was once more in active service was contained in a communication from Secretary Baker to Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, sent in response to Dean Miller's letter to the War Department on July 7. In discussing the retirement of Lieutenant Colonel Young, Secretary Baker wrote: Some time ago a board of officers passed upon his (Young's) health and found him completely incapacitated for service; not obviously but possibly by the nature of their finding that he was afflicted with a chronic disease. My recollection is that it was Bright's disease. The report of the board was approved by the Surgeon General and that Colonel Young's record is a long and honorable one, and the Government needs officers of his rank and ability, it was directed that another board be convened to make sure that there could not be any error in the matter. I have directed that the report on the board be returned to me personally before being acted upon; not because I find myself able to believe that any prejudice would produce the effect of poisoning the people, but because I want to be able to give the assurance to all who inquire that I have given my personal thought and attention to this case, in which so many are interested. I hope the board will find Colonel Young still able to perform active duty. In the meantime, I have directed that he be restored to the duty, and he will the hope of being able to have his assistance for the present. Probable Findings of New Examining Board. The opinion prevails in many quarters that the War Department's move in restoring Lieutenant Colonel Young to active service "for the present," has grown out of the country-wide protest registered against his retirement, and at a time when he says he never felt better in his life. That one examining board will render a report declaring that the first board was in error in its findings is not regarded probable by those familiar with the inner workings of the War Department. The step between Lieutenant Colonel and Brigadier General is not a big one, and should Young remain in active service he would be in line for promotion which would have to be made in the near future. The attitude of the present administration at Washington on the Negro question is generally known, and for this season many construe Secretary Baker's statement "Have his assistance for the present," to mean that his retention in active service will be but temporary. WHITE WRITER ON RECENT MASS The unbiased position taken by Carlos F. Hurd of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the white newspaper man whose graphic description of the East St. Louis massacre is republished in many papers, is shown in a letter to the old friend Lester A. Walton, managing editor of Tur Acz, in which Mr. Hurd writes. "You must have seen that I was not trying to make a case out for the Negroes. I was trying only to tell the truth about what I had seen, and to call things by their right names—and murder and massacre the only names that fitted. You, of course, realize that the printing of my story or any story telling" the full truth about the East Side occurrences was possible only in a paper like the Post-Dispatch, which has always stood for fair play to all races and creeds." NO NEW COLORED REGIMENT IN REGULARS (Special to Tiny New Yong Aqi) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Orders designating the remaining regiments of the increased regular army show that no more colored regiments are to be formed. So, while opponents in Congress failed to have the present colored regiments disbanded, they succeeded in preventing the formation of new ones. The Negro's position in the United States with regard to the regular army is lower than what it was fifty years ago, when there were six colored regiments. THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1917.

The Grand Jury of St. Clair County is now in session and it is rumored that some startling disclosures have been made. Reputable citizens who recognized many of the rotters are voluntarily appearing before the Grand Jury and telling what they saw. There is an insistent report that before long indictments will be returned against officials holding important positions. The ill-feeling existing between the two elements was shown several days ago when at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Counselor Daniel McGlynn, in the presence of a large gathering of business and professional men, accused the Mayor, Chief of Police and militiamen of aiding the mob. He also accused Col. Trip, in command of the State troops, of not doing his duty. Attorney General Edward J. Brundage is taking a deep interest in the Grand Jury investigation, and upon reaching the city from Springfield several days ago stated that "somebody must hang" for the crimes committed on the streets of East St Louis. East St Louis is the second largest railroad center in Illinois and has the largest industrial plants in St Clair Counts within its confines, among which are the mammoth packing plants of Armour & Company, Swift and Company and Morris & Co. Twenty years prior to 1915, at least 80 per cent of the employees of the packing plants, were white labor union employees. The remaining 20 per cent, were Negroes. 10 per cent of whom have developed into skilled laborers. When Negroes were unable to do skilled work in the packing plants, the white butcher's union refused to admit them to membership, but when several of them, (Negroes) became skilled butchers the union encouraged Negro butchers to join for the reason that if the union declared a strike the Negro butchers in obedience to their obligations would be compelled to obey a strike order issued by the proper representative labor union official. Why They Did Not Join Union Few Negro butchers applied for membership because they knew that their membership was sought in order to par- DR. TRAVIS JOHNSON MEETS SUDDEN DEATH Mystery surrounds the death of Dr. Travis James Augustus Johnson, one of the best known and most promising of the younger Negro physicians in New York Dr. Johnson, who resided at 118 W. 131st street, was found in an unconscious condition at 240th street and Broadway last Thursday evening at 10 o'clock by a police officer. An ambulance from Fordham Hospital was summoned, but Dr. Johnson died before its arrival. Dr. Johnson was badly bruised about the face and his nose was broken. The cause of his death is under investigation by the coroner Dr Johnson was 34 years of age and the son of the late Dr Peter Augustus Johnson, who practiced medicine at 203 West Thirty-third street for over thirty years and who died three years ago. Dr Travers was a graduate of the Columbia Medical School and was regarded by his friends as a young man of great promise. When he was admitted to practice medicine, so high was his average that his license bears the blue seal. are the mammoth packing plants of Armour & Company, Swift and Company and Morris & Co. Twenty years prior to 1915, at least 80 per cent. of the employees of the packing plants, were white labor union employees.

Dr. Johnson, besides being a brilliant physician, was enterprising and frugal, for he left cash in the bank, stocks and bonds amounting to $4,000, a country home valued at $6,000 and a life insurance policy for $5,000. He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Mitam H. Johnson; a son, Travis; Jr., three years of age; mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson's sister, Mes. C. W.

Bolden FIRST GRADUATE OF RAHWAY HIGH SCHOOL (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) RAHWAY, N. J.-William Stewart Maize, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Maize, 228 Maple avenue, was the first of his race to graduate from Rahway High School in the history of this city, which is over a hundred years old. He graduated with the largest class in the history of the high school, completing the four-year classical course with an average of 83 per cent. He attended all of the social activities and was treated royally. He was a member of the High School: Debating Club, which did not allow its membership to exceed fifteen and also of Webster Literary Society. He expects to enter Howard University in the fall. alize the operation of the packing plants in the event a strike was declared, believing as they, then realized that the managers of the packing plants knew that the butchers union had, since its organization discriminated against Negro laborers becoming members of the butchers' union and had opposed the employment of unskilled Negro labor in the packing plants. Hence, Negro laborers considered it unwise to accede to the union's feeling that the managers preferred white labor to colored labor and that such an act on the part of Negro laborers would result ultimately in the elimination of Negroes from the packing plants. Therefore the Negro in his struggle for existence in the face of unmistakable discrimination of organized labor, refused to destroy himself industrially by being decoded into the union which would in time force capital to surrender completely to organized labor to the detriment of the Negro. Since the beginning of the European war an exceedingly large number of foreign laborers formerly employed in the various industrial plants of East St. Louis have returned to Europe. Fully 25 per cent. of white American laborers formerly working in the manufacturing plants of East St. Louis and Granite City, Ill. went to the northern and eastern cities where they secured employment in the munition manufactories.

Hayward's "Billy Boys Given a Big Send Off as They Entrain Monday. BattaHon Depot to be Formed in New York with Capt. Tandy in Charge- Chaplain Brooks Attends Luncheon Given by Gov. Whitman to Chaplains at Executive Mansion. CAMP WHITMAN, N. Y.—Col. William Hayward's "Fighting Fifteenth" enjoys the distinction of being the first regiment of the National Guard to leave the city Monday in response to President Wilson's "call into United States service." The first section of the Fifteenth left Monday morning at 8:30 over the New York Central from the foot of West 129th amid cheers and affectionate partings of "goodbye," "good luck" and "God bless you." About four thousand persons saw the boys in brown off. There were many tears shed, kisses given and promises made. Mothers, wives, sweethearts, sisters and father participated in the fond farewell. However, even in their leave-taking, crowded with much doubt and uncertainty, the members of the Fifteenth were in a jubilant mood. The prospect of seeing active service seemed to kindle their enthusiasm. Regimental headquarters at 120 street and Second avenue presented an imimated appearance early Monday morning. Long before Old Sol had bade the time of day, Colonel Hayward and his officers were on hand, for the men had been instructed to report at 5 o'clock and there were but few tardy arrivals. Shortly after 7 o'clock the regimental band started for the train, playing the tuneful and enlivening strains of "Billy Boy," a popular number dedicated to Colonel-Hayward. The members of the Fifteenth fell in line and marched to the foot of West 128th street, where they entrained in three sections for Camp Whitman. The two weeks and a half experience at Peekskill some weeks ago is now serving the men in good stead. It was not many hours after reaching here before the regiment had settled down to the regular routine of camp life. Adjutant Generals Office Compliments Men. The first sergeants and regimental clerks are proudly exhibiting a copy of a letter written by Edward V. Howard, the Lieutenant Colonel, Assistant Adjutant-General, who, in a letter to Adjutant General Stotesbury, complimented them as follows: July 10, 1917. General Louis W. Stotesbury. The Adjutant-General, of the The recent tour of duty at Peekskill, May 13-30, gave the Fifteenth Infantry its first experience in the field. I took up the matter of preparation of the new force of pay rolls with some misgivings, giving him the difficulties experienced at the first. First sergeants and clerks were assembled, and after some little preliminary instruction preparation of scratch copies of the pay rolls was undertaken. I was astonished at the intelligence displayed here (with and the rapidly withheld, with gramped details of the work. The raphers and typewriters observed by me were most competent men and would have no difficulty in holding their own in any company. Some rolls are models of accuracy and neatness and reflect credit upon the organization. The informal commander is a forceful man and the adjutant well posted and most industrious, and the example appears to be reflected down through the officers to the rank and file. I have no hesitation in saying that the regiment will be brought to a high state of efficiency with very short time. Very timely (Signed) EDW. V. HOWARD. Lt. Col. Amt. J. Adj. General.

New York And) (Special to THE NEW YORK ACM) FORT Des Moines, la.—I this is the last week for collective infantry training at Fort Des Moines. Beginning next week the cadets will be apportioned between the various arms of the service. Owing to the disuse of cavalry in the present war, there is some probability that extensive cavalry training will not be entered into on a large scale, as has been the case in the other training camps throughout the country. It has not been announced yet, whether there are enough cadets interested in artillery and engineering to form companies in these branches, but the probabilities are that there are enough fellows to engage in these arms. the townpeople of Des Moines, through a committee, have registered Colonel Ballon to allow the cadets of the 17th Provisional Revolt under his command to take part in the exercises to be held at Drake University Stadium on next Sunday evening, July 22. The Mayor and City Council of Des Moines have tendered an invitation to ex-President Theodore Roosevelt to address the gathering next Sunday evening. The colored citizens of Des Moines are panning to hold a monster entertainment for the cadets just before camp is broken in September. The Coliseum is considered as the best place for the celebration, the proceeds of which will be given to the American Red Cross Society. Fourth of July came as a big relief to the cadets; it was the first holiday that the boys had had since they have been in camp.

If your outspoken demonstration of courage and the killing of many homes, and the murder, and the killing of innocent men, women and children, in the East St. Louis riots, you have touched the hearts of millions of fair-minded people in this broad and, just at a time when the world was demanding universal human rights. We fervently pray to Almighty God that from the hearts, the lips, the paws of the people, there shall flow a mighty stream of righteous indignation, and that this stream never cease to flow until this Nation becomes bound to justice, the perpetrators of unjustified crimes, that have been heaped upon a race always prayerful, long suffering, truly American, ever patriotic and loyal to the interests of our country.

R Ranson is president and E. P. Blake- more, secretary of the league. STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR Not with hot irons. But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kinkies work with it the smallest kind of hair. Think about it—it's preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay in it. Kinkies work with it the smallest six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a preparation day of one's world like that from its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like that. I offer a reward of $400 for one head of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure or faint you from falling, positively moves dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that is necessary to keep it healthy, will send to anyone on the receipt of $100 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair.

"There is but one hand that could stop enraged Sault on his way to Damascus and make him an apostle and brother to those he would have slain, and that was the hand that is pierced Only one arm could knock out the lincs of Pharaoh's chariton, and that arm was Jehovah's. Only one power could stop Napoleon at Waterloo and that was God. This is only a Christian country in theory, not in practice. The Christianity of Jesus was foreshadowed in the Old Testament in what does Jehovah require of thee but to do justly, love, mercy and walk humbly with thy God. "This Jesus summed up in, "That shalt have the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind and strength and thy neighbor as thyself.

The reluctance of the present Democratic administration and its followers in Congress to make any provision for the enlistment on equal terms of the Negroes, in the Army and Navy, is hard to understand. Despite the patriotic response of members of the race in every section of the country to the call to arms, they have been shunted aside and no provision made to utilize their services, beyond recruiting the existing regiments of regulars to war strength. In the Navy the only capacity in which they may serve is that of menials. Now this indisposition to accept the Negro as a soldier has not been lost on the white people of the South and while at first they approved, the probable results are not to their liking. They argue that if this policy of excluding Negroes from active military service is to prevail, so many more white men will have to be drawn to fill the quota of the various Southern States. According to the figures given out by the War Department, the number of men required to fill the quota of the South will be: Alabama, 13,612; Arkansas, 10,267; Florida, 6,325; Georgia, 18,337; Kentucky, 14,236; Louisiana, 13,582; Mississippi, 10,801; North Carolina, 15,974; South Carolina, 10,081; Tennessee, 14,258; Texas, 30,545; Virginia, 13,795. Keen interest is reported as being taken in the question in the States above named, as the white men in the main have not exhibited any too great alacrity in coming forward to volunteer. Now that their service seems to be obligatory under the selective draft, with the Negro left out, they do not, relish the prospect. The probability is that the administration and their representatives in Congress will hear from them in no uncertain tones. While the quarrel appears on the surface to be a sectional one, between the southern administration and its supporters in the section from which it derives its greatest strength, the question is national in its scope and neyer can be settled until it is settled on the broad principle of a square deal for all classes of citizens, without discrimination. That the policy of evasion and exclusion should return to plague its inventors is retributive justice. It demonstrates that the only safe rule for governments, as well as for people, is that of justice Let the administration and the Congress wipe out all discriminating laws and regulations affecting the rights of citizens to serve their country. Put them all on the same plane, and thus do away with disaffection among all classes who deem themselves wronged by the discrimination. For injustice, like a two-edged sword, is apt to cut both ways. COLOR SCHEMES That the obligations as well as the privileges of citizenship are appreciated by the people of Porto Rico was shown by the response to the call for registration under the selective draft law. The total number registered was 104,986; divided as follows: white, 78.275; colored, 24,605. This division will strike those familiar with the superficial aspects of the Porto Rican population, especially in the large cities, as somewhat peculiar, as the division on any color scheme would break about even according to the way it is done in the States. But the Porto Ricans have their own way of adjusting such matters. White and colored are very elastic terms in their vocabulary. Apparently "white" in their internal affairs signifies any mixture in which the white strain predominates, and "colored" is used only when the darker strain comes to the surface. It would therefore be safe to conclude that at least 50 per cent. of the Porto Rican registration would be classed as "colored" according to the construction prevailing in this country, that one drop of African blood marks its possessor as "colored" or Negro. This is another phase of the color problem added in the acquisition of our West Indian possessions. To add to the confusion that attends these various attempts at segregation, a keen observer has pointed out the fact that the white people of the South are apparently growing darker, so that it is becoming more difficult every day to distinguish between the two races when they become mixed. If this is so, it may help to bring about the abolition of all unjust discriminations based on color or caste. Plail to the day! FUSION All signs point to the renomination of the present Fusion administration. The voters of New York City this fall will have to render their verdict as to the conduct of the affairs of the municipality during the past four years. As it is out of the question for a straight Republican ticket to win in the Greater City, where Democrats predominate, it would seem to be the part of wisdom for prudent Republicans to continue their alliance with independent Democrats and re-elect the present administration in the interests of good government. Any movement with a contrary object would work only in the interest of those forces that have worked against good government in the past. The present city officials have done much to put the affair of the city on a practical business basis, cutting out graft and favoritism, which benefitted the few at the expense of the masses. Mayor Mitchel and the other city officials who have aided in carrying out his policies should be kept on the job. The Silent Parade proposed to be held down Fifth avenue on Saturday afternoon, July 28, should be made a mute but solemn protest against the atrocities and discriminations practiced against the race in various parts of the country. Every man, woman and child who can devote the two hours required to that purpose should join in the ranks of the marchers. As a sober, dignified protest against the wrongs complained of, as well as a protest against the failure of the proper authorities to provide adequate protection and redress, the parade should be made as imposing as VIEWS and REVIEWS THE POWER OF THE NEGRO CHURCH. We have said before that the Negro church is, beyond all question, the one powerful organization in the race. We have pointed out that it is relatively far more powerful than the white church. The white people of the country may be reached and influenced through many mediums, but the great mass of our race can be reached and influenced through only one, the church. There is then a correspondingly greater obligation resting upon colored ministers than upon white ministers, and that obligation was never more serious than it is today. The pressing duty before the Negro ministry is to take the power of the Negro church and make it an instrument for bettering the conditions of the race. It is a time when that power should be used to secure for the race a larger fore-taste of better things right here and now. It is a time when less attention should be paid to larger collections for handsomer churches and some effort be made to raise a great general fund to be used in fighting for our rights. In such an undertaking we would be following the example of the Jews, who are now raising one hundred million dollars to be used in fighting for greater rights for themselves when the war ends. It is a time to put the Negro church into close touch with the practical questions that affect the welfare of the Negro people as citizens. It is a time when less attention may be paid to what Saint Paul said and did and more attention to what is being said and done by the makers of current history. It is a time to put away petty rivalries and to unite with one purpose in view. Union, that is what we need. Union of the great mass of the race. It does not make much difference what we attempt to do, if we would all do it, at one time and together. If one million of the twelve millions could be so organized in taking any step for the advancement of the race as to take that step together and with the same purpose, no power in the country could withstand them. Such race-wide power could be realized if the Negro ministry would come together and solidify the Negro church. Such a church, working in cooperation with existing protection and civic organizations would constitute a force within the race that could not be defeated. EVEN FROM THE SOUTH The South comes condemnation for the East St. Louis massacre. The long editorial in the Florida "Times of the South: and was President of the United States, another city of the same state under governor of the State took no steps; and the President of the United States the excited protests of the govemer that it was merely a pretext to a danger, it may be that President Wilson is right, but can we say that at stake at home by a President who and France across the seas? Are Gen. men if a proclamation of martial law be may stay at will? defined that a Federal investigation free to say that he has absolutely coming out of a Federal investigation the men who are now in control result to come from such an invectimental for Negroes tocommendation that the Government. opening as the East St. Louis marty's history as the present has no one word in behalf of justice to c. And the race had just as well if it will get from the Government's term. Even from the South comes condemnation for President Wilson's attitude on the East St. Louis massacre. The paragraph given below is from a long editorial in the Florida "Times-Union," one of the leading dailies of the South: When Cleveland was President of the United States and Altgeld was Governor of Illinois, another city of the same state underlay like threats. Then, as now, the governor of the State took no steps to protect the interests of the public and the President of the United States sent troops to Chicago against the excited protests of the governor of the State. It has been said that it was merely a pretext to assert that Federal property was endangered, it may be that President Cleveland was wrong and President Wilson is right, but can we say a risk may not be taken when life is at stake at home by a President who risks so much to defend Belgium and France across the seas? Are German sympathizers to be punished, even if a proclamation of mutual law be necessary, where organized labor may stay at will? It may be claimed that a Federal investigation has been ordered. The writer feels free to say that he has absolutely no hopes of anything beneficial coming out of a Federal investigation made under the direction of the men who are now in control at Washington. The most likely result to come from such an investigation will be a finding that it is detrimental for Negroes to come North in large numbers and a recommendation that the Government take some steps to check the migration. If such a happening as the East St. Louis massacre at such a time in the country's history as the present has not caused President Wilson to utter one word in behalf of justice to colored Americans, nothing will do it. And the race had just as well make up its mind that the first relief it will get from the Government will be the end of President Wilson's term.

He is the color line that has so long is no reason now why other coed. Of Fireman Woodson's appointment ving can make it organizations of the various rally to make her with all race monster success In the stress of events it is only natural that the official recognition given last week to John Henry Woodson for his deed of simple heroism should not have attracted the attention which it deserved. It ought not, however, be allowed to pass unnoticed. Woodson is an intelligent colored man, thirty years of age, and a member of the New York Fire Department. Last September during a fire in Brooklyn, a mother holding her baby in her arms appeared at a window on the fourth floor of a burning tenement encircled with flames. Woodson gan up the main ladder that had been raised, but found he was only on a level with the third story. He called for a twelve-foot scaling ladder and, mounting to the top rung of the main ladder, fastened the scaler on to the window where the woman stood reclining and shrieking. Ascending the scaling ladder, he took the child from the mother's arms and passed it to a fireman further down. Then he drew the woman out of the window and with his one free arm let himself down to the main ladder. In speaking of Woodson's deed, one of the Department officials said, "It was a daring and complete rescue, not a flaw in g. No hesitation displayed as to just what to do and how to do it." For this heroic action John Henry Woodson was called from the ranks of honor men and with words of praise publicly awarded a medal by Mayor Mitchel. Such a deed and such recognition would bring honor to any individual, but in this man's case there is a still farther reaching significance. There are more than five thousand men in the New York Fire Department, and all of them are white except Woodson. So, for the one, solitary Negro in a body of more than five thousand men to be an honor man and a medalist gives distinction not only to him but to the whole race. In fact, Fireman Woodson has made himself a line breaker. He has smashed a big opening through the color line that has so big hedged in the department. There is no reason now why other colored men should not follow his lead. The history of Fireman Woodson's appointment is doubly inter- numbers and bearing can make it organizations and societies, should The ministers of the various rally to make this movement churches, together with all race monster success. esting. First, of course, because he is a colored man, and secondly because the head of the Department, up to whom the final word on his appointment had to come, is a Southerner, and not only a Southerner, but a Georgian. Let us quote here the interview given by Commissioner Adamson to a reporter on the Evening Mail. We quote it especially because of one paragraph which shows up so frankly what colored men, no matter how well qualified, are up against when they apply for such positions: STORY OF APPOINTMENT. How did it all come about? His son told it to me as we sat at his desk. "Back in 1914 Chief Kenlon and of appointments that were to be my missioner, with a reminiscent twinkling whimsical look of the chief as he there was a Negro on the eligible lie meant in the old days." I assured the commissioner I knew Negro ever got on the eligible list the geon or surgeons who could be reliable to detect tragic heart murmurs that the strenuous job of fireman. "Well, the chief looked at me for about it, commissioner?" "What sort of a man, physically? "He's a regular Jack Johnson object to him physically, that's a certain extraordinary, but still he's got." "I told Chief Kenlon that if requirements I would make him a he was a Negro." "All right, commissioner,' said special detail for him somewhere." "I won't appoint Woodson if we detail because of his color.' I told the appointment he'll get it regardless to be a fireman he'll be a fireman a fires and he'll help to put out fires a work of the department. That's the going to appoint him if he is eligible. "I remember Chief Kenlon node shake hands with trouble if the hand a dilemma. No doubt he had many terminated that the fire department said square and just, according to I. Next to our admiration for the Woodson comes our admiration of stiffness of backbone displayed there were more colored men like officials like Commissioner Adam fair representation in all the department is no reason now why we should not Woodson in the Fire Department. How did it all come about? Here's the way Commissioner Adamson told it to me as we sat at his desk in the Municipal building. "Back in 1914 Chief Kenlon and I were talking over the next batch of appointments that were to be made in a few days," began the commissioner, with a reminiscent twinkle in his eye. "I can remember the whimsical look of the chief as he called my attention to the fact that there was a Negro on the eligible list. You know what that would have meant in the old days." I assured the commissioner I knew well what it would mean. If the Negro ever got on the eligible list there was always the department surgeon or surgeons who could be relied upon to find him too flat-footed or to detect tragic heart murmurs that would positively prove him unfit for the strenuous job of fireman. "Well, the chief looked at me fixedly and asked, 'What will you do about it commissioner?' "What sort of a man, physically, is this applicant?" I asked. "He's a regular Jack Johnson," answered Kenlon. 'Nobody could object to him physically, that's a certainty. His civil service rating is not extraordinary high, but still he's got by and he's on the eligible list." "I told Chief Wilson that if Woodson met all the appointment requirements I would make him a fireman regardless of the fact that he was a Negro." "All right, commissioner," said Kenlon, "we'll find some sort of a special detail for him somewhere." "I won't appoint Woodson if we've got to provide him with a special detail because of his color," I told the chief. 'If he's the right man for appointment he'll get it regardless of the shade of his skin. But if he's to be a fireman he'll be a fireman and an active fireman. He'll run to fires and he'll help to put out fires and he'll share the peril and this hard work of the department. That's the only way I'll appoint him. And I'm going to appoint him if he's eligible." "I remember Chief Kenlon nodded his head like a man agreeing to shake hands with trouble if the handshaking were the only way out of a dilemma. No doubt he had many forebodings of friction. But I determined that the fire department should be run on a broad basis, fair and square and just, according as I saw it." Next to our admiration for the bravery and heroism of Fireman Woodson comes our admiration for the sense of fairness and the stiffness of backbone displayed by Commissioner Adamson. If there were more colored men like Fireman Woodson and more high officials like Commissioner Adamson, the race would soon have a fair representation in all the departments of the city. As it is, there is no reason now why we should not have more men like John Henry Woodson in the Fire Department. SOUTHERN WHITE FOLKS ARE CHANGING COLOR: (BY T. THOMAS FORTUNE) WASHINGTON, D C—"A great astonishment" is gradually coming over the white people of the Southern States—the greatest that could come over a proud people who believe that white is the one owned that has any right to the protection of the laws and respect of the public opinion that makes the laws and the administrators of them. Christian scientists have a theory that if you believe a thing is so, it is so and if you believe a thing is not so it is not so; that is to say, if you are real sick and believe you are real well well you are and not real sick. It is a real nice theory, but the white citizens of the South, and of some other spots on the Federal map, are working it over time on the color and race question. There is bound to be a reaction from this view of the matter, because there are two parties to it. Where there are two parties to anything, one party to it will be called to account, but just how does not always appear clear to the aggrieved party. There is a way in which inequality are evened, that we do not always perceive, operating in the affairs of persons and states. It is happening that way in this country, in the real matters of race rejuxtus, not alone as our own white and black people, but as to the large European mixed race population. We have been industriously intermixing with our citizenship, most of whom is a race cross, blend and amalgamation of African, Asian and European races and tribes who have come out of all the tribal communities, in the mixed indurated race type they are, but affect not to know it. The "great astonishment" that is coming over the white people of the South is this. Great numbers of them are becoming so tamed, so saffron colored, that they look much like our own "high browning" the Xi'an-American cross of white and black becoming "a confusion to them." Especially is this the case in traveling by water. Conductors and pursuits have a time of it doubling "who is who" without getting into trouble. Most of them have Negro spotter, who are supposed to know "who is who," invariably, but they often "fall down" even they are not attribable, and often fail to detect "their own." What a dirty job the Negro spotter have! A person has to suck very low in his own estimation to earn his living as a Negro spotter. I had an interesting experience recently upon returning from Norfolk to Washington. I wanted to be sure of a birth and so went to the Norfolk office of the Washington Steamboat Company, on Ganby street, and asked for a ticket and steamer. The man gave me a first-class ticket and said I would have to get the steamer of the purser on the boat. They have only a limited number of rooms for colored people in a segregated part of the boat. If you want until you get on the boat you may be unable to get a room or birth and have to "set up" all night. Several white persons about my color both in tar from white, bought tickets and put rooms while the man and I disputed about it, and I called his attention to the fact, but he refused to attend a single inch. "The stood all the plan talk I gave him, and I do some plain talking when I am injured in my "best" feelings, but he kept the steamer. When I got on the boat and it pulled Here's the way Commissioner Adamsk in the Municipal building. I were talking over the next batch made in a few days," began the com­ in his eye.

That did not suit me. I got on the white line and broke the color of it. When I came my turn at the purser's window he asked my name and the price I waived to pay for a berth. He gave me a desirable room and a porter, after asking me if I wanted him to do, so took my baggage to the room. After a while I went to Social Hall, and seated a good seat, "it my smoke," and watched "the passing show" until 9 o'clock and turned in. Colored spotter's eyed me and I eyed them, but they also eyed others—many others come in, the best blood of the South, who were no whiter than 1, and few of them as good looking. In the cars and on the streets of Washington it is much the same—the white folks are generally becoming so much colored that there is no longer any uniformly white color among them. I can see as I scrutize them that "a great past-mouth" is gradually covered by "a bizarre" God is compelling their sinful desires. They need no pity as they have muted us. This, I have mused with the Negro blood and spirit in core and this cannot escape. CURIOUS INCONSTENCIES To the Editor of The Age. In an article on the editorial page in the Times of July 6, under the headline, "A Distinction to Be Forgotten," the Times in undertaking to excuse the East St Louis massacre has this to say, "An excellent example of a kind of moment easy to make, and too often made upon the East St Louis riots, to be found in the Boston Journal. Here an extract, 'Shall there be more race warfare? shall the streets of cities in tree America run with the blood of innocent people whose color offends the mob mind'." "The East St Louis riots were NOT in LABOR RIOTS. They were not RACE RIOTS (the capitals are mm), aimed at Negroes, but at underholding workers who happened to be Negroes." untilly protest against cheap labor" "Thus on July 6 the Times declares that the East St. Louis roots were not race roots, but on July 3, it published the following big black headlines across three columns appeared in" "RACE RIOTERS FIRE EAST-ST. LOUS AND SHOOT OR MANY." "PLACE RIOTERS FIRE EAST, SST LOUIS VUITTON HANG MANY NUNCHENS" The article of July 3, under this heading begins by saying: "Many Negroes have been killed in RACE RIOTS which have been raging here since Sunday night," etc. As to the Tim's claim that the roots were simply a militarily protest against cheap labor" I notice in its issue of July 8, under the heading "ANTI-NEGRO RIOTS DUE TO LABOR CAUSMS" the following according to Representative William A. Rodney, of the 22nd Illinois, Congress's 1st District, including East St Louis, which city is Mr. Rodney's home. "Or not because Negroes were not members of the labor unions. I don't know that they could have got in if they had tried; but it is a notorious fact that black laborers are not capable of being successfully unionized. They don't understand why they should pay dues. Be that as it may, there were enough Negroes in town to fill all the jobs of the 8,000 men who went on strike against the open shop, and they were put to work. They received the SAME WAGES (capitals mine) which their white predecessors had got, the minimum "daily,pay for the humblest sort of work in the aluminum plant being $2.75. This was a fortune to the Negro who had been working for 75 cents a day in the South." So, according to the above the Negroes in East St. Louis were not "underbidding workmen" and "cheap labor" as claimed by the editor of the Times. In another article in the Times of July-8, under the heading "RACE RIOTS LAID TO LAX POLICE RULE," I read the following. "In the packing plants, stockyards, and ore factories there is an abundance of hard, dirty and 'unpleasant work which no white American' would consent to do. These jobs were abandoned by the skilled work worker to the Negroes and foreigners. Many of the latter, natives of Austria and the Hawaiian countries, were summoned to the colors, which meant additional Negroes were employed in their places." The writer goes on to say that "Negroes themselves receiving such unprecedented wages as $4, $5 and $6 and it was not strange many of them wrote glowing letters to friends and relatives in the South, inviting them to come and enter into this financial paradise." Here is work too. filth for white Americans to do, they abandon the jobs to the Negroes and then murder them for taking the jobs. It seems to me that there should be a determined effort made by us to see to it that the other countries of the world do not come to regard us the same as we are regarded by our own democratic administration and its followers and sympathizers. I can, as we all ought to, at least be thankful that God has seen fit to let Col. Roosevelt live. ALEX. ROGERS, 373 Cumberland St., Brooklyn, N. Y. HARTFORD MINISTERS ON HARTMONT, Conn. — Col. Theodore Roosevelt was commended and the East St. Louis massacre deplored by the pastor of the colored churches here last Sunday: "The Rev. W. B. Reed of Shiloh Baptist Church, preached on "Southern Migration and Gompers" Mobs of East St. Louis." In speaking of the East St. Louis tragedy the speaker not only charged every drop of blood dumped every house destroyed, the vast list to Gompers' labor unions, but he pictured their hands dropping with blood, proclaiming the land, intesting Congress and dictating to the head of the Nation. At the A M E. Zon Church the Rev. R. R. Ball spoke on "Workers of Iniquity." He said in part: "We are far removed from those conditions that drove our people by the thousands from the South to the North before the Civil War. It was hatred for people on account of their color which intensified the riots in East St. Louis and which is driving some of the noblest and best people of our race to seek a new home and liberty in the North." "An Ideal Nation" was the subject of the address delivered by the Rev. James A. Wright of the Tallahassee Congregational Church, who said in part, "An ideal nation will have God-giving men for its rulers. It will select men of integrity, ability and piety for even the petty offices. The men will have large hearts and broad minds whose philosophy of life will be." We rule by the consent of the governed." Because men have not held this, but have rather chosen the false philosophy that might make right, and the superiority of one race over another, the nations at Europe have been plunged into a bloody conflict. We, as a nation, have talked much of our interest and for democracy abroad, but have failed to cultivate real democracy at home. The Rev. C. L. Fisher of the Union Baptist Church spoke on "The Declaration of Independence in the Light of Chance." He said among other things: "What does the Declaration of Independence guarantee to every American citizen? 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.' Are we not American citizens? Is not liberty to us a coveted prize? Is not our fire sacred? What estimate does America—the housed 'Land of the free and home of the brave,' put upon the Afro-American citizen? Has she profited by our presence here these 300 ages? Or have we been a menace to her government and an eye-sore to the body politic? It our ranks had been filled with Beneficiary Arnolds, Booths, Gutenaus and Czolgizek's; if our records had been besmirched with treason, and anarchy, there might have been some reason, not pustifiable, for the horrors of Waco, Texas; Memphis, Tenn., and East St. Louis, Ill. But, on the contrary we have been loyal to the flag. We have fought in every battle where Old Liberty has waved over shining steel. We have shared in every victory which has perished upon her warrior." RIOTS AND TENANTRY Apparently one of the causes for the increase in East St. Louis is the large influx of Negro laborers from the South. Laborers attracted by the high wages in industries of the North. The same migration of Negro labor is to be observed in most of the northern states. The Negro's exodus from the South is an indication of wrong conditions there. The southern Negroes live as tenants upon the soil owned by landlords who do not till it. We have not developed, in this country the financial mechanism for allowing tenant farmers to become tenants by land which they work. Despite the terrible experiences in East St. Louis will help direct the attention of the country to one of the underlying diseases of our agricultural body. Grace—"Turned out the light!"

Washington Bureau, THE NEW YORK AGE, 609 F Street, N, W. Jeannette Carter, Manager. Washington, D. C.—The Intense interest of the race in the District of Columbia over the Easst St. Louis outruns were shown by the outpouring of the women at the 6 o'clock prayer meeting at Metropolitan Church, Wednesday morning of last week. Many thousands of women attended the early morning call, issued by Miss Nanceli B. Burroughs, and they prayed as only women can pray when they deeply moved with indignation. At the Howard Theatre, Monday night, the interest and feeling, were shown fresh when the presentation of "Damaged Goods" was interrupted by Manager G. G. G. and announcer Prof. Kelly Miller of Bowel University would make an app for subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers of the East St. Louis riot; that the appeal was made under the auspices of the Red Cross Society, and that one of the white theaters of the city was allowing a like appeal to be made to the public was disliked with sympathetic attention by the large audience. More f105 was dropped into the basket issued by the lady ushers. There is general surprise that a number of our women did not take the trouble to register on Tuesday as in favor of Food Conservation. Why? is asked persistently, and the answers are persuasive but that are not a cheerful mood because of the treatment the race has been receiving at the hands of the mobsters of late. In the evening food conservation mass meetings were held in the following public school buildings: Western High School, Mrs. Archibald Hopkins; the Thompson School, Mrs. Sutton School, Louis J. O'Mearn; Henry D. School, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, George A. Cullen; Jefferson School, Mrs. Frederick Dubois; Emery School, Mrs. Elizabeth Howry, Peabody School, Miss Mary Carnack McDouall, Miss Abbey L.

SOME COLORED COMMUNITY MUSIC MISSIONARIES (BY E. AZALIA HACKLEY) Young Carl Rossina Diton was just out of short trousers when I first went to Philadelphia. I was told of the wonderful boy organist of the old Cherry Street Baptist Church who could read any music put before him and who played the organ pedals so fast that they were afraid his legs would get tangled. Although this young musical prodigy was motherless he was carefully reared by two maiden aunts, both piano teachers, who are accused of spoiling the lad a bit. These aunts are not only responsible for much of his musical development, but they deserve the credit it for his good manners and his good moral habits. His father, a school teacher in New Jersey, of course, provided for his education. No one had to urge young Carl to practice the piano. There is a tradition that it takes three generations' of CARL B. DITON musicians to make a musical geno- so we may expect something out of the ordinary from Mr. Diton The Harvey family has lived in Philadelphia for three generations and all were musicians. Traffles count in forming opinions When Mr. Diton inherited a small sum of money some years ago he immediately invested it in a college course at the University of Pennsylvania. This, to me, showed rare judgment When I decided upon the young man as the second student for the Foreign Scholarship I paid a visit to his teacher, the celebrated Constantin Von Sternberg, who advised me to keep Mr. Diton abroad for he was the kind of person who would do big things, and what if he could be kept abroad long enough he would prophesy that the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra would send for him to play with them I almost fell on my knees to people to accomplish this, but I was not able to make the small scholarship last longer than one year. No American student abroad can work his way and study at the same time. Practice, attendance at concerts, necessary recreation and relaxation, besides the hours for sleep crowd the twenty-four hours. When Mr Dutton returned to America it is to teach him that he went South to teach his day for composing. In a letter to me he afterwards wrote: "I have not done anything that I planned to do." The needs of the school were so great that I forgot myself and my own ambitions." I confess to having shed tears of joy that any young colored musician could forget himself to serve his race. Mr. Diton has had several concert tours under concert conditions that I am sure no white artist could survive. However, he has gained valuable experience, which has served to round out his character and to fire him with the ambition to advance his race musically. Comparisons are always odious. In comparing Mr. Diton and other pianists our people are always asking "which is the greatest?" It would be as impossible to compare pianists as to compare pugilists. Each pianist has his class just a pugilists have. One has only to see Mr. Diton to put him in the heavyweight class, playing massive chords and passages which require great strength—a la Paderewski I know of no other colored pianist in this class. Personally, Mr. Diton is developing admirably. When one man praises another there must be good cause. A prominent Philadelphiaian told me that Diton had not only grown to be a fine manly man, but that his personality was "a treat." Mr. Diton is happily married and his wife, whom I have known for years, is not only just the woman to follow up the coddling care given to him by his aunts, but she has had the experience that the wife of a musician of his type needs. She is a capable woman along many lines and will indeed be a real "helpmeet." Although so young, Mr. Diton has been the director of music at three colleges—Payne University, Augusta, Ga; Wiley University, Marshall, Tex. and Talladega College, Talladega, Ala. At the last named college he has built a very substantial music department, Musical America, in a May edition. Assisting resume of the year's Talladega the environment would be of great civic value to any community. Aside from his genius as a pianist and organist, he has successfully trained and, directed traveling quartets, folk lore festivals and has proved to be an all-around, adaptable musician. His success as a piano teacher has surprised me. He is bubbling over with enthusiasm and transmits this to his pupils, who are tireless in their efforts to please him. His gentlemanly attitude and good natured disposition are great assets in his work. In the way of composition, Mr. Ditor has not yet done more than to peep over the horizon, but his head is full of ideas and there is plenty of time, for he is young. Teaching all days in a college is not conducive to composition, yet his Five Antliems, based on folk song, won first prize in the New York Music Settlement School Contest several years ago. I am hoping and praying for one—just one composition—from Mr. Ditor. For I firmly believe that he is destined to compose something that will live forever, and gives me great pleasure to note that the young folks in whom I have been particularly interested in a musical way have splendid records for character and service. LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK The management of the Lafayette Theater will present next week the great comic opera, "The Chocolate Soldier." This ought to prove the biggest event in the history of the Lafayette Theatre as it is a departure from anything heretofore attempted by stock companies. The music of "The Chocolate Soldier" is so well-known to need comment that it has been proclaimed Italian, shapely and humorous, for which Oscar Strauss is noted. The story is based on George Bernard Shaw's comedy, "Arms and the Man," a satire on "war," which ought to prove most timely The scene of the opera is laid near the Dragonoman Pass, Bulgaria, with Servia and Bulgaria at war. The sentiment of "The Chocolate Soldier" is evolved by the love affairs of Bumerh and Nadina, Mascha and Alexius. The comedy situations are furnished by the episode of Col Popoff's house coat, which is delivered to Bumerh in order to make his escape, its return, and the fact that the photographs of the three women are hidden in the coat make unusually funny scenes when the participants are thrown together during the succeeding scenes and situations. ROLAND HAYES MAKES FAVORABLE IMPRESSION Before an audience of over 1,100 persons, Kohan H Hayes, the well-known tenor solist, made a most credible showing at Manhattan Casino Friday evening, Mr Hayes sang eleven solitions, three of which were encores. He is easily the race's leading tenor today. One of the biggest hits at the evening was the "I Hear You Calling Me.55 rendered with 'cells' obligated by H Leonard letter and piano accompaniment by Mrs Darya Taples. Selections by the Martin-Mason Froo and Mrs Taples were also highly appreciated. After the concert there was dancing to the strains of Donge's Society Or MRS. DAIS 6 MRS. DAISY TAPLEY chestra. The entire affair was staged under the direction of Will Anthony Madden QUEENS RALLY PAGEANT A SUCCESS. The Queen's rally pageant at Mt Olivet Baptist Church last Thursday night was a success financially and artistically, and a large sum of money was realized for the trustee's fund. Although only two weeks were used for preparation and advertising, and a heavy downpour of rain occurred at the hour of opening, a large crowd was present. To say that the audience was pleased in pressing it mildly. Round after round apprise he entered the entrance of each queen and her attendants, and before it was over the audience expressed the desire to see it again. The Rev. Dr. Hayes immediately engaged Mme. E. Azalia Huckley, the director, to arrange a joint King and Queen Peganet for early fall The queens were "queenly" beyond expectation, and after Mme. Hackkey had finished "prettying them up" they hardly knew themselves. The whole pageant proved an agreeable surprise. Mrs. Maggie Clay, the "Queen of Spain," was crowned the "Queen of Queens" by America, represented by Mrs. Gertrude Porter. The Spanish maids were easily the hit of the evening. Those who represented the queens were as follows, America, Mrs Gertrude Porter; France, Miss Agnes Cofield; England, Mrs Maggie Minor; Spain, Mrs Maggie Clay; Greece, Mrs Carrie Harris; Italy, Miss Mamie Butt; Russia, Mrs Bund, India, Mrs M Limeburger; Japan, Mrs Nellie Scott; Hawaii, Mrs Mattie Burge; China Miss Sallie Williams; Africa, Mrs. Dodson Jones. Mme. Hackley and the Rev. Dr. Hayes rendered a duet and Mme. Houston sang "Il Bacio." They were applauded to the echo. The soloists for the pageant were Mrs. H. K. Reavis, Miss Ella Berry, Miss Isabelle Taliafero and T. A. Hebbons, all of whom "won the audience." The Boy Scouts, under Frank Wallace, escorted the pageant and lent patriotic setting, while National anthems of the various countries were heard. Mme. Hackley is to be congratulated upon her new and novel pageant. VIOLIN RECITAL AT BOSTON.

POUGHKEEPSI N Y—Before a large attendance at local fans the Poughkeepsie Nelson House colored waiters went down to defeat at the hands of ```markdown ``` the crack nine representing the West Point Cavalry Detachment in a well played and interesting contest by the score of 12 to 11. The West Pointers won their game in the ninth mining by cloning the ball for two safeties. The waiters would have had a victory carefully stowed away had it not been for numerous errors, most of which were costly. One of the outstanding features of the game was the excellent stick-work of Johnson and Billy Garnett, of the locals. These players contributed timely singles every time they came to bat and most of the runs were largely due to their bingles. Troul pitched a good game for the visitors, and had excellent control on the ball. A goodly sum of money was realized from a collection taken up at the game, thirty-three per cent of which will go to the benefit of the Fifteenth regiment, in which several Poughkeepsie colored men are enlisted.

INDICTMENTS EXPECTED IN PROBE AT EAST LOUIS (Continued from page one) thus creating a labor shortage in the packing plants, the steel foundries and the aluminum ore plant. This labor shortage necessitated the employment of Negroes to supply the deficiency. During the past two years several hundred colored people have left the southern States for East St. Louis and Brooklyn, III. A large number have written letters to relatives and friends telling of the large salaries that could be earned and of the excellent public school system managured in the North and the Negro population of East St. Louis has increased to abnormal proportions. They also have been encouraged to migrate because of newspaper publication telling of the need of Negro labor. Many received employment in the passing plants. Eabor union leaders became alarmed at their employment and declared a strike. They attempted to frighten Negro laborers by assaulting them with a hammer and a work. However, the strike was a failure and the managers of the plants permitted the strikers to return to their jobs. THURSDAY, JULY 1., 1917. although, there were enough colored employees in the plants to operate without them. The managers continued to hire Negro labor to which the union men strongly objected although no other laborers could be obtained who would do the drudgery work performed by the southern laborers. This disgruntled the union workers and they attempted to declare another strike thirty days after the first strike. The strike referred to occurred about nine months ago. The plants were becoming more and more non-unionized, and labor union in East St. Louis appeared doomed; hence, a more difficult problem confronted them. This situation set nine agitation-monument labor union officials, members and other sympathizers the question of the destiny of labor union in East St. Louis, which later developed into one of the causes of the East St. Louis race riot. Politics a Factor. Another contributing race riot later was local politics. The personnel of the present municipal administration in Democratic. They are particularly anxious that it remain Democratic. The rapid influx to East St. Louis indicated the defeat of the Democratic city administration the next municipal election, therefore, a means had to be devised in order to eliminate the increased Negro vote. The majority of southern Negreez vote the Republican ticket and the only way to eliminate them voting was to drive them from the city. Hence, the riot. A last contributing factor, was race hatred which is and has always been prevalent in the city of East St. Louis. On May 28, a delegation of labor leaders met the Mayor and City Council and asked them to devise a means to prevent the coming of Negroes to the town. So many attended the meeting of the Council that the Mayor was forced to adjourn the meeting and repair in the auditorium of the city hall where 1,000 white men had assembled. Addresses were delivered by the Mayor and labor representatives who denounced the packers for employing Negro labor. A few minutes after the meeting adjourned' news was circulated that a Negro had assaulted and robbed a white woman. This was the pretext for the organization of the mob. The rot the then began and lasted all night. The police made no effort to stop the slaughter, but instead, according to eye witnesses, aided the rioters as did the soldiers. The soldiers were then under the command of the Mayor and the chief police. During the progress of the riot on May 28, the soldiers proceeded to search and disarm every colored man of even a pocket knife and then he was forced to walk through the mob to be healed and killed. This condition prevailed on two days and two nights without a hour's cessation On Monday and Monday night of July 2 the massacre became so brutal that the Chamber of Commerce of East St Louis called a meeting and telegraphed the Governor requesting him to place the city under martial law. They stated in the telegram that no Negro whom the massacre escaped its fury and that the massacre and destruction of property was appalling. They also threatened that if the Governor refused to act they would appeal to President Wilson. i es i ai is oe ae ee ee ee ee ee eee me eee eC re nO Tm ee CoN OO mse PTE oe CUP EOI er 0 IE OR MAR PRCA, JU Ue Mw oe RUS Oe a race none er inne 1 eres 1 7 eee Manhattan and the Bronx. a Mrs, JuliaBrown, of 33 West 112th sireet is quite sk. ~ Mr. and Mrs; Evans were recent vie- 1 lagrs in, Rochester.

Visitors from many sections of the country who bad -read of the work pf the auxiliary call ‘ed at headquarters and brought’ mess ages of cheer, From.time to time men: tion will be given in the columns of the reas of the visitors. From the Sth Regiment came Lt Col. Spencer ané Major Munson _Morris~who-saw Jarge number of cheerful women’ of the auxiliary at work on_the comfort bags or. kits. Lt. Col. Spencer gave his opinion of the value of the Wom- an’s Auxiliary to the 15th Regiment in a letter to the president, Miss 1. E, Fra- -zier, who said: “May I take this opportunity of ex- pressing to you my deep appreciation for, the valuable assistance which you and your associates are rendering the 1Sth “Infantry. You cannot appreciate what a relief it has been to be able to refer women who will be left more of Jess alone when the, regiment is in. the field to the Woman's Auxiliary.» Mrs Spencer is always readycto assist you" ‘Major Munson Morris brought. Mrs, Nelson B. Barr and Miss Edith Kohi- saat to headquarters, These ladies were 40 pleased with all they have heard and all they saw that they asked to hecome active members of the auxillary. Major Morris read a letter be hid ‘iabis. possession from Col, Theodore Roosevelt to the Fifteenth Regiment and said he would give a copy of it tc the auxiliary to be placed among th valuable documents of the auxiliary, ‘One thourand: and fity-nine coetfor kits wore taken from the headquarter of the auxiliary for the soldiers entout kite and. the auxiliary will further ag- certain ‘the nuraber still without this jomfort and at once arrange for the same > The saxiiary is, deeply \erateful tc the Red Crons Society for itz splendid ‘contribution of artictes for the equip- roent of the begs.” ‘A conference of women of the anxil- jary with Mrs: Jolin M.

(BY. LIEUT. COL. SPENCER) While the Fiftéenth Infantry will be far away from New York City when the next issue of Taz Aax goes to press, sill T know that so many of our boys will receive copies of it in camp that it is worth while to finish“up Sir Robert Baden-Powells article on "Courage" in this week's issue. For the beneft of your readers who are not members of the Fifteenth Infantry it may be well to advise them that a Reserve Battalion will be organized at once from which men will be sent to join the active regi ment wherever it may be stationed. It is most important that this organization should be maintained at full strength and as much interest shown in it by the loyal citizens of Harlem as has been shown in the regiment which is about tc leave New York. é Another part -of the regiment vehich we leave behind, yet which is of vita importance to the welfare of our men is the. Women’s Auxiliary. I only wish that all our citizens ‘could appreciate the valuable service that they have ren- dered in the past aiid T know will ren- der in the future. The final articles on “Courage”: “Confidence, the component of cour. age, comes also from the knowledge that you are not recklessly being sacti ficed. 1 once had a little argument on this ‘point with the Germaa-Emperor. He objected (0 the syste in our train: ing which teaches the men to spread out and to take cover in advancing to the attack, He said: "You teach them to be afraid of the bullets before the) havg even’ heard one. In the German Army we march the men by rank after rank of their fellows; they cannot fail to carry the position. “This seems a good theory, but one wants to see the result Before one can judge. I imagine it would require an army very strong in reserves and very strong in nerves to carry it through stc- cessfully, Our army is small and we cannot supply. the weight “of numbers required for this form of confidence.
