CAMP WHITMAN, N. Y.—The Fifteenth Regiment was Mustered into Federal service Wednesday at full war strength. The open air life and regular habits are working wonders with the "Billy Boys." The camp is provided with several shower baths and there is a fine place for swimming a short distance from camp. The arrival of three talented musicians from Porto. Rico Sunday has strengthened the crack regimental band. The band concerts are greatly enjoyed by officers and enlisted men. Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee and five singers from this famous institution paid Colonel Hayward and the band of Fifteenth Battalion last Sunday, and Dr. Moton was loud in his praise of the appearance of the men. Dr. Moton is well versed in military matters. Over two hundred visitors camp to camp Sunday, most of whom were from surrounding towns. Many of the soldiers received tobacco and cigarettes, which are always welcomed.

INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THEY WANT. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACR) DORTH, Ala.—Keen interest is being taken throughout this section in the question of the Negro being drafted into the army for service in France. It is generally reported and commonly understood here that Negroes will not be drafted and that sufficient additional white men to take their places will be drawn to fill out the South's quola of men. Some unrest is already being manifested over this prospect and should it develop that Negroes are not drafted and that white men will have to be furnished to take their places on the battle line there may be developments of great interest. Circulars were distributed here Saturday calling a mass meeting at the Houston county court house in Dothan on Saturday, July 14, for the purpose of taking some action toward having the conjecture act repealed. The circulars were distributed, it is said, by H. O. Lawson, a farmer living near Cowarts, who is reported a strong follower of Tom Watson. It has become known that Federal authorities were taking an active interest in the matter, some of the circulars having found their way into the hands of army officers. BOSTON UNION TAKES (Telephone to The New York Am) Boston, Mass—For the first time in the history of Boston colored waiters are to be admitted to the union. The decision to invite colored waiters to become members was reached last week at a special meeting of the 'Waiters' Union Local 34. The four hundred Negro waiters employed at the Hayward, Woodstock, Lainham and Healey's cafes, and the Grey Square and Colonial Hotels have been asked to become union men. The waiters have just won a strike here, compelling the eating places to pay them $35 monthly and give them one day in seven off. The wage committee of the union has promised to take steps to obtain the same terms for the colored men. BILL TO PREVENT RACE INSTITUTE IN THE NEW YORK ACE) Washington, D.C.-Representative BRIAN W.

JOHNSON LET WILLARD WHIP HIM SAYS "TAD" JOHNSON LET WILLARD WHIP HIM SAYS "TAD" The article published in last Saturday's issue of the New York Evening Journal by "Tad" that Johnson permitted Willard to become heavyweight champion by agreeing to put up a fake fight has created much excitement in pugilistic circles, and many are reminded of the charges made by Sam McVea and others at the ringside with Johnson at Havana that the fight was not "on the level." Following is the article published in the Evening Journal under the caption, "Willard Champ Because Johnson Flopped." "Jess Willard is the heavyweight champion of the world today because Jack Johnson kept his word and went through with a flop," said a New York sporting man yesterday. "I was close to Johnson and also to the other people in that Havana hippodrome," added the man from Gotham, "and know what I am talking about. The way the sporting writers fell for it was really funny. You know Johnson wasn't a bit tired in that twenty-sixth round. One of his seconds asked him how he felt, and Jack looked up with a smile and said, 'How do I look?' "Don't you remember that Sam, Nic Vea, one of Jack's second wife, declared the thing a fake? He was suspicious, but wasn't certain of the facts." Serial No. NAME Address 2549 Ben. Green, 163 W. 131st St. 2591 John Green, 163 W. 131st St. 1324 Vincent Natley, 265 W. 131st St. 1031 Rufus A.

He knew that the big, lumbering Wallard couldn't touch the clever Johnson with a hand full of bard shot unless Jack let him. "Do you remember the stories of the finish of that battle? Do you know that they asked that Jack came to his corner in the twenty-fifth round and, feeling weak, asked Jack Curley to find his wife and tell her to go out? Well, Jack Curley saw her and, waiving to Johnson, pointed her out. She left immediately, AND A MINUTE LATER JOHNSON WAS COUNTED OUT. "Do you know what the wife gag was? That was the office that she got the dough. They were wrangling over Johnson's but all during that fight, and he was just stalling until she got what he agreed to flop for and as soon as he got the wire that she was pond, OUT WENT, LITTLE ARTFA. "When the fight was over, I was standing near some of the big guns who were in on the thing and I heard one of them say. 'Well, you can knock Johnson all you like but HE KEPT HIS WORD!' Always a Business Man. "Johnson always was a business man. He would listen to reason, Jim Coffrath, the Frisco promoter, said that Johnson was the smartest fighter he ever did business with. "Johnson was in many a fake battle, but he had to fake in order to get the matches. There is many a take pulled off in New York. Why, halt the think and in me. Why, halt the think pulled off nowadays, are agreements. They agree to go ten rounds and not knock one another out.

March for a REAL DEMOCRACY Saturday for a REAL DEMOCRACY HORDER OF COMMITTEE Twenty-Fifth U.S. Infantry Is "Somewhere in France" With The Pershing Expedition Col. William Hayward's "Billy Boys" will not be the first colored soldiers from the United States to invade foreign soil, for already seasoned veterans of the Twenty-fifth Infantry are "Somewhere in France" and jubilant over the prospects of seeing trench life in the near future. For several weeks reports have been in circulation that Negro soldiers had been sent with General Pershing to France, but nothing official ever has been given out by the War Department relative to the presence of colored fighters across the sea. The first, definite information that Negroes were members of General Pershing's expedition was secured last week when post cards were received in many cities in the United States by friends of members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. VIRGINIA NEGRO U-BOAT HERO IN MEDITERRANIAN (Special to THE NEW YORK ACA) PHILADELPHIA, PA.—The Evening Bulletin of July 21 published a lengthy article by a young American who has spent most of his time since the war with the British patrol fleet, in which the writer tells of the heroism of an American Negro by the name of Green, from Newport News, Va., who saved many lives while a vessel was sinking from a U-boat's blow. The story, in part, of how the colored man became the hero of the hour follows: In most every instance the writer tells of the cordial greetings given and of the good treatment being received. Judging from the post cards the men are in a happy mood. It is said that General Pershing has a high regard for colored troopers. They helped hint to win name and fame in Mexico, and he is said to be extremely confident that the Negro soldier will cut as prominent a figure in France as at Carnegie and San Jose Hill. According to Dame Rumor, the entire Twenty-fifth Infantry is in France with the exception of three companies. The Twenty-fifth Infantry is well known to the public as fighters. It was charged with shooting up Brownsville, Texas, and although members of the regiment were discharged at the direction of President Roosevelt no evidence ever has been presented showing that the men were really guilty of the deed. WILSON SAYS YOUNG WILL GET SOUARE DEAL (Special to The New York Am) Tuskegee, Ala.-Dr. R. R. Motion principal of Tuskegee Institute, has received the following communication from President Wilson with reference to the treatment accorded Lieut. Col. Young by the officials of the War Department. I have you letter of July seventh. You may be sure that I am no less deeply interested than yourself in the matter to which you call my attention, and I think you are surely laboring under a misapprehension as to the case of Lieut. Col. Charles Young. There is no possible ground in case for the fear that he is in any way being discriminated against and you may be sure that he will be treated as any other officer would be in similar circumstances. I know that is the disposition of the authorities of the War Department, and it is certainly my own purpose. Coordially and yours. (Signed) WOODROW WILSON. President Wilson's letter to Dr. Moton was in reply to a communication sent the Chief Executive in which the head of Tuskegee asked the President to see to it that Lieut. Col. Young was given a square deal. YOUNG TO BE PROMOTED TO RANK OF COLONEI WASHINGTON, D. C—The new examining board has declared Lieut Col. Charles Young physically fit for service, and the Adjutant General of the War Department has recommended that he be promoted to the rank of Colonel Lieut. Col. Young has been ordered to report to the Governor of Ohio to take charge of the colored troops which are to be drafted in that State. VIRGINIA NEGRO U-BOAT HERO IN MEDITERRANIAN PHILADELPHIA, PA.—The Evening Bulletin of July 21 published a lengthy article by a young American who has spent most of his time since the war with the British patrol fleet, in which the writer tells of the heroism of an American Negro by the name of Green, from Newport News. Va., who saved many lives while a vessel was sinking from a U-boat's blow. The story, in part, of how the colored man became the hero of the hour follows: "One trip I made was on the Russian. We were running through the Mediterranean. The days were short, and it was dark, just before dinner. "I was in my cabin. I had broken my leg in a fall on the deck, and was just beginning to go about with some comiort. Mr. Stevens, the foreman, and Dr Wright, the veterinary surgeon, were with me. "Time for cats," said Mr. Stevens. "Let's go." "Oh, don't be in a hurry," I said. There's a long evening ahead and— "Right in the middle of the sentence came a crash. The Russian shivered as though she were an elastic band stretched tight, and some one had plucked it like a banjo string. That's the only way I can express it over." We heard feet pattering over the deck. Hoarse commands were shouted back and forth from the bridge to the boat decks "The davits squeaked and there was the rattle of ropes through pulley blocks as they got the boats ready. All this happened before we had time to collect our senses and start for the corridor. "On the deck everything was orderly. Some of the boats had left, but most were still being loaded." They wanted to lower me into one, b. it was only a short drop I overestimated my strength, miscalculated the effect of the heavy sea, and the jar of landing in the boat broke my leg. "One boat, with at least forty men in n., capsized. We heard the cries, but our boat was so full the sea was washing over the gunwales. The men had to tail continually, although there was scarcely room for them to move their arms. "Some of those who could not swim went straight to the bottom. Others caught the sides of the boat. Those who could swim, many of them, were drowned by comrades who clutched them round the throat and dragged them down. "Most of the men scrambled up to the bottom of the overturned boat. It was all right until some of those in the water, who were clinging to the sides, tried to climb to the already crowded bottom. They were, not content with having their heads out of water, "Naturally the overturned boat began to roll, first to one side, then the other. Some of the ones on the front frightened and showed the men trying to scrambled up, back into the sea. I don't know who started this, but in a second a terrible fight for life was in full swing Green Assumes Command. "There were white men and Negroes on the life boat. The struggle quickly became a race battle. White men tried to pull their fellows up on to the boat and shove the Negroes off. The Negroes did the same. "A man stood as much chance of stopping it as he did of pushing over the rock of Gibraltar—at least, that is the way it seemed, until one Negro, a horse man named Green from Newport News, rose so far above the ruck of humanity about him that he turned the brutal, fighting tumult into men again. He restored democracy on the bottom of that lire boat. "A few of us had kept cool enough to lie quietly on the overturned craft, trying to talk the others into manhood once more. We might as well have ordered the sea to become calm. "All of a sudden something hit me in the back of the head Something else held me under the shoulders I found myself in the water. "The blow on the head had nearly stunned me, I was just able to flounder around enough to keep afloat. "Suddenly I felt a body bump against me, and saw the big black face of the Negro, Green, right beside my own. "I went mad. I thought he was going to drown me, to make one less white man in the beastly fight for life that was still raging. I would have struck at him, but my arms would not work. "As though in a dream, I felt his arms slip under my shoulder. "You'll be all right, boss," he said. He struck out for the life boat, keeping my head above water. He put me IN RELEASE WHEN YOU MISS IT IN "THE AGE" YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT. NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. 11 12 13 PRICE FIVE CENTS Canry Is "Nice" With Expedition with my hands on the edge and swam off again. "White men on the boat's bottom pulled me out of the water. Presently the Negro returned with another white man in his arms. This man also was pulled on to the boat. Next time the big black returned, he had one of his own race. "By then I was strong enough to help pull the rescued Negro on board. Some of the other white men, who had seen Green save two of us, fought their own men off when they tried to throw the rescued black back into the water. "Three times more Green returned to the life boat, each time supporting the head of a drowning man; black Negro and white alike. One by one, those of us on the boat and around it, began to fight, not for places, but to subdue those who were trying to save themselves by drowning others. "It was the heroism of this big Negro from Newport News which redeemed the disgraceful conduct of the men in the capsized boat. For an equivalent act in the trenches, men are decorated. But Green was only a horseman. I never even saw an account of his bravery published." LIVELY ELECTION MARKS K. P. SESSION LIVELY ELECTION MARKS K. P. SESSION NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y.—The presence of Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green at the twenty-fourth session of the General Assembly of Knights of Pythias of N. A. S. A. E. A. A and A. held here last week, made the session one of unusual interest to the members of the order. The Supreme Chancellor remained through the entire session of four days and presided almost the entire time. The fight to repeal the brigade tax and also the attempt to put out all the old officers of the Grand Lodge was also the source of intense interest in the proceedings of this session. The welcome address by the Mayor of New Rochelle and the eloquent response by the Supreme Chancellor will long be remembered by all who attended the exercises at St. Catherine's A. M. E. Zion Church on the evening of July 16. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., of Virginia, was also in evidence at the session. There was a parade on Thursday afternoon, at which the uniform rank was the special attraction, and judging from the crowds that throughed the streets, a favorable impression was made on the inhabitants. The election of officers began about 5:30 in the afternoon on Thursday and lasted continuously until 4 o'clock the next morning, resulting as follows Grand Chancellor Lee Crawford unanimously re-elected, M. E. Davis of Binghamton, elected vice grand chancellor without opposition; the Rev. J. Strother of Utica, re-elected prate without opposition; J. Thomas Johnston, elected grand keeper of records and seal, W. H. McFarland of Brooklyn, re-elected grand master of exchequer; Philip W.

Crews was elected past grand chancellor; James H. Anderson, elected grand lecturer; Counselor Wilford H. Smith, re-elected grand. lodge attorney and also chosen Supreme Lodge representative Considerable interest was shown in the contest over the office of Grand Treasurer of the Reserve Fund Department between P. W. Jones and H. A. Howell; also in the contest between Paul H. Brav and C. Franklin Carr over the office of Secretary of the Reserve Fund Department. The race for Grand Lodge Attorney between W. H. Smith and Philip W. Thorne of Manhattan, and M. W. Bennett of Yonkers attracted considerable interest. Likewise was the contest over the office of Supreme Lodge Representative between Wilford H. Smith and the Rev H. L. Jones of Manhattan. According to the Grand Chancellor's address, the order in the State of New York at present has a total enrolment, in the men's branch, of 43 subordinate lodges, with a membership of 1.816; while the women's branch consists of 24 courts of Calanthe, with a membership of 744. Financially, the order is in a flourishing condition, the Grand Lodge having a total asset, over liabilities, of $7,026.95; while the assets of the subordinate lodges aggregate $5,536.73, this exclusive of the assets of the Grand Court of Calanthe and the subordinate courts. Syracuse was selected as the place for the holding of the most annual session of the Grand Lodge. 2.

Lewis was the principal speaker at the mass meeting held Thursday evening of last week at Faneuil Hall at the celebration of the fifty-fourth anniversary of the battle of Fort Wagner. Mr. Lewis' utterances were cheered by colored and white War veterans. One of the statements made by Mr. Lewis which was enthusiastically applauded was that the Negro is waiting to be given a soldier's chance on the battlefield; that he is willing to fight and die for his country, but opposed to being conscripted for farm labor. The speaker among other things said: "Fellow Citizens, my heart is heavy; my spirit is weary. The lynching and burning in Tennessee comm; just after the declaration of war I humanity could not bat dampen the ardor and enthusiasm of man but that the fierce militarization of Christian people, agonizing over the wrongs and oppressions of men in other lands, was nothing new. "Then just as we were forgetting the Memphis horror, there occurred the East St. Louis massacre. Thousands of unoffending men, and women, and children, fleeing Egypt, seeking to herter their conditions and making work in East St. Louis, in the State of Illinois, were set upon by a mob, driven from their work, their homes burned over their heads, sources fond, recklessly, and brutally murdered. "Well might the colred American exclaim: 'My Country, my Country! Hast thon forsaken me! Have a man no longer the right to eat his bread in the sweat of his brow? Is the American Bill of Rights a mere scrap of paper?' Have black men no longer the right to pursue their own happiness, under the protection of law in this country? Does organized labor stand behind the declaration of Samuel Gomperg and those who brought the Negroes to East St. Louis are responsible for these murders? Will organized labor refuse to permit Negroes to join the unions, and then condone their murder for not joining the unjusts? "Only one great American has had the courage, the independence and the humanity to coedem with all his vigor this outbreak of savagery, which has indeed left a stain upon the American name. His name is Theodore Roosevelt. Thank God for that incident in Carnegie Hall, when one American at least refused to play the hypocrite. "A few days ago the people of Bisbee, Ariz., banished a thousand Industrial World Workers into New Mexico, without violence or bloodshed. I do not approve the act. The President of the United States wrote the Governor of Arizona: 'I respectfully urge the great danger of citizens taking the law into their own hands.' I look upon such action with grave apprehension." Thank God that the President has found his voice. It is a good beginning. Now Mr. President, warn the lynchers of Memphis, the murderers of East St. Louis, and the people everywhere against taking the law into their own hands, and the grave consequences, and grave apprehensions that must otherwise arise in the heart of every true lover of his country.

Patriotic citizens of color have been offering themselves to both branches of the service, only to be met with the reply. We are not taking colored people here. This action is wholly without warrant, or authority of law, and in pursuance of a policy of segregation, notwithstanding that the professed aims and purposes of this country in the war, are to establish Democracy among all men. "The Conscription Act has registered nearly a million citizens of color, to be exact 553,889 men. We are eager and anxiously waiting to see whether colored men are to be conscripted for farm labor or only, or to be given a soldier's honor, to be given a soldier's honor, to be given the honors of war, and to be allowed to die for their country. We might as well say to the Nation now that we will fight this war to the finish side by side with other citizens, but we will not be conscripted for farm labor for a single minute.

Reduced to its logical sequence, the meaning of the veiled phrases is that the Department is determined not to allow men of the race to enlist except as menials. The talk about it not being deemed advisable to change the policy which has existed, "to the satisfaction of all parties concerned for many years," is mere subterfuge. The discrimination practiced against Negroes in the Navy has been of gradual growth, outside of Annapolis, at least, as none was permitted to enter that caste school. The exclusion of Negroes from the Naval Academy, whose expenses they are taxed to pay in common with other citizens, has built up an un-American, un-democratic naval aristocracy, the virus of which has entered into the whole service. From the time of Paul Jones, the first American admiral and the Father of the American Navy, the Negro was accepted as a seaman on his merits as a man. In fact, it is stated on the authority of the gallant Jones himself, that his bunkmate when he first entered the service of the revolting colonists, was a full blooded African. Negroes fought under Commodore Perry at Lake Erie, and in later years they have served through the various grades open to seamen, up to the rank of gunner's mate. It was only a few months ago that a colored man was retired with the latter rank, gained by some twenty or thirty years' service. The restriction of their assignment to the position of stewards, cooks and scullions is of recent growth, and seems to have reached its most rigid enforcement under the present administration. The attitude taken by the Navy Department is so inconsistent with the preachments of the administration that is waging a war for democracy, that we are not surprised that the official charged with the duty of defining it, could not find words to express it in plain English. It evidently needed a "Captain Cuttle" on the job. WILL CONGRESS ACT? The reign of murder and lawlessness which culminated in the slaughter of men, women and children and the destruction of property at East St. Louis, Illi- nois, in the early part of this month, has been put up to the Congress of the United States fairly and squarely, by Representative Dallinger of Massachusetts. The joint resolution introduced by the Massachusetts member is most sweeping in its scope. It not only provides for the appointment of a committee to investigate the outrages, but to recommend such legislation, as will prevent similar outrages in the future and insure to all American citizens the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution. It is proper and fitting that a resolution of this character should have been introduced in the National Legislature. It is the only way of getting the wrongs complained before the proper body to give them a hearing and provide the remedies for them. Whether Congress can be impelled to such action depends upon the amount of pressure brought to bear upon its members. The time is ripe for such action. Public sentiment, under the stimulus of the public utterances of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, has been roused as seldom before to the growing spirit of lawlessness in this country. The necessity for the enforcement of law and order at home, while fighting for the democracy of the world abroad, is realized by most thinking people. If the spirit of lawlessness let loose at East St. Louis is not restrained, it will spread further and embrace others than Negroes in its destroying ravages. Investigation of its causes and development is in order. We should not be surprised if Congress was inclined to take heed of the dangerous symptoms in the body politic. At all events, any movement having for its object the maintenance of law and order will be welcomed by all good citizens, and we believe they constitute a majority of the population. The trouble is to get them to stand up for the right and be counted. The New York Senators and representatives can be counted on to give their support to this legislation. MR. DANIELS' HIRED MAN. In North Carolina we find an humble imitator of Vardaman, who writes under the pseudonym of "Savoyard" in The Raleigh News-Observer, the newspaper owned by the Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy. "Savoyard" is described as a Kentucky Copperhead, whose real name is Newman. Truly an ominous combination for the breeding of race animosity. The cause of his frothing at the pen and blistering the paper, was a simple statement by the editor of The Age, printed in the New York Times, that "in New York you can see white and Negro children going home from school side by side, under the protection of the same policeman." This statement is interpreted as a striving after "social equality." What it really illustrates is the equality of opportunity afforded in educational facilities and the equal protection of the law given to both races alike. But it incited Mr. Daniels' hired man to the following diatribe: Here is the nigger in the wood-pile. This professional Negro, Moore, editor of the Negro organ in New York, uncovered him July 1 when he said: "In New York you can see white and Negro children going home from school side by side, under the protection of the same policeman." Precisely. That is what your professional Negro is driving at. He cares not a rap whether the Negro at the South is prosperous and content. What he is after and all he is after is social equality for the Negro: There is something stronger than governments of rules, stronger than constitutions or laws, stronger than armies or names that forbids. It is that imminable that inexorable emotion called caste, that will not be denied, and it is as strong at the North, where the Negro has few friends, as it is at the South, where he has few enemies. Just as that professional Irishman who hates England more than he loves Ireland, is the most visious VIEWS and REVIEWS QUITE NATURAL.

Here is a despatch from Baltimore that carries a deeper significance than the mere relating of the incident it contains: Baltimore, Md., July 16—More than thirty Italian laborers who tried to chase a group of Negro workmen from Camp Meade, the national army encampment at Admiralty Hill, today were themselves ousted by a detachment on guard there, put on board a Baltimore and Ohio train bound for this city and told that if they ever came back they would be severely dealt with. The deportation was supervised by Maj. Ralph F. Proctor, U.S.A., who is in charge of building the cantonment. A group o. Italians who probably haven't been in this country long enough to learn to speak a hundred English words, who would not know the Constitution from a chapter out of the Koran, chasing a group of colored American workmen off a Government job. Isn't that an inspiring picture? Yet, after all we should not blame the Italians too hard. It was quite natural for them to think that chasing Negroes was a sort of national pastime in which even newcomers might take part. Evidently they had observed that others took part in this popular sport without being restrained, so they must have been very much surprised when Major Proctor interfered with their fun. And we are wondering who experienced the greater surprise at the Major's action, the Italians or the Negroes?

In a recent copy of the New York American we ran across a serious letter, which, in spite of its seriousness, was amusing. Perhaps it was amusing because of its seriousness. The writer of the letter is the father of two sons who are now enlisted. Of course, as soon as his two boys became soldiers he began to pay attention to details connected with the war that had escaped him before. He knew that an arrangement had been made whereby England could conscript British citizens living in the United States. He knew that British recruiting officers had been opened in this and other cities. He also noticed that a great number of young, colored West Indians, British subjects and perfect specimens of physical manhood, are employed as hallboys, elevator operators and in other capacities in this city. He then began to wonder why it was that his two sons should go to Europe to fight and these young, able-bodied British subjects be left undisturbed. How this thought is worrying him is shown by the latter, part of his letter to the American, which reads as follows: In this connection I called up the British recruiting station here in New York and talked with a Capt Stevens, who told me that "England did not want them" and that their orders at the Recruiting Station here from "the other side" were not to recruit them even if they offered themselves. I immediately wrote to Congressman Murray Hulbert, of the Twenty-first District of New York, and put these facts before him. Is it possible that these lazy fellows are to be allowed to remain here holding soft jobs and living on the "fat of the land" while the flower of our manhood may and probably will have to face all the horrors now existing in England? Yours very truly. LOTHROP WARREN. Secretary Army and Police Dog Club of America 755 Fifth Avenue, New York. Mr. Warren's inquiry is perfect unreasonable in attaching any bla Captain Stevens, in charge of the plainly that "England did not war is any action that these men can them. In the last paragraph of the The American a direct question. iry is perfectly reasonable ning any blame to the large of the British recc did not want them " " men can take to con graph of the letter, the w t question. We can a Mr. Warren's inquiry is perfectly reasonable, but he is absolutely unreasonable in attaching any blame to the young West Indians, Captain Stevens, in charge of the British recruiting station told him plainly that "England did not want them." We do not think there is any action that these men can take to compel England to accept them. In the last paragraph of the letter, the writer asks the editor of The American a direct question. We can answer it. If Mr. War- enemy Ireland has so is the professional Negro who howls about the wrong of his race at the South, and has al at love for the Negro at the North, the busiest and most designing enemy of the Negro, North and South. The Negro's home is at the South, where his friends are, and if the North will only keep her dirty paws out of the amess, the race question will be completely and righteously settled by the S.Southern white people. And that is the only way it will ever be settled. But it would be useless to attempt to argue with a hurling without scruples or conscience like "Savoyard." when the responsibility for his fostering of race hatred is really at the door of his employer. He probably has to earp a living, though the method he has adopted toward that end would seem to be the last resort of any man blessed with a conscience or any of the cardinal virtues. Men of this stripe and those whose dirty work they perform are the real enemies of the country today. Their sins will find them out in time.

Negro troops should be segregated both for the sake of white troops and themselves. Referring to this Senator Vardaman, the New York World, an out and out supporter of the Democratic administration, said recently: When people are moved to speak at the decline and tall of the United States Senate they usually have in mind James K. Vardaman of Mississippi who came into office in 1913 on a promise that he would secure the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Finding these articles of the Constitution more secure than his hold upon his constituency, he relapsed into obigurity until the European war gave him an opportunity to antagonize American tribes and defy American sentiment. He was one of the twelve white men who by bishipping defraed the armed-ship resolution. He was one of the six men who voted against the declaration of war. In there had been a roll-call on the Bond Bill he probably would have voted against that. Mississippi itself has had its eyes on this person, and from some or the most enlightened section of that State he has received iron crosses and highly suggestive contributions described in the dispatch as "thirty pieces of silver." To rehabilitate himself with a people Sack of his demagogy and his pro-germanism, he now appeals to "the consecrated men and women favoring Prohibition" to rise in their majesty against the President of the United States, who defeated a crooked attempt by the representatives of those consecrated men and women to hold up a necessary war measure. This is Vardaman's last dutch; and he knows it. The last cause of the Contraeder, elected him. The last cause of the Kaiser will defeat him. Prohibition or no Prohibition. So much for Vardaman! ren will just cut out the word "lazy," his question will be its own answer. Yes, they are going to remain here holding soft jobs and living on the fat of the land, while others suffer the horrors of war, just so long as England maintains her prejudiced and undemocratic attitude toward her subjects of African descent. Mr. Warren's question is one that is going to be asked by many white American parents regarding young colored Americans. If a prejudiced administration is allowed to keep the Negro out of the army, others will have to suffer the horrors of war. That is the way prejudice works, in this case. SENATOR TILLMAN NOT YET DEAD. It is likely that most people outside of the State of South Carolina have thought of Senator Tillman as dead. A year or so ago the gentleman of pitchfork fame delivered a sort of farewell address on the Senate floor and since that event he has been silent; so it was natural for people who did not have direct means of knowing the contrary to think of him as dead. Senator Tillman is a dead one, but not yet dead. The other day, perhaps even to the astonishment of the Senate, he dragged himself together, and spoke as follows anent the East St. Louis riots: "I have known for many years and not hesitated to say so all over the North in my lectures and on the floor of this Senate, that the average Yankee—we Southerners call men Yankee North of the Mason and Dixon line, has no love for the Negro, except for political reasons. They want his vote and nothing else. "The North is now beginning to understand the South and to understand the race problem too, and I am very glad to see so many Northern men being ordered to camps in the South for drilling and training. In this way they will see something of the race problem in its home, where there are the most Negroes, and learn much more than they would ever have known had they not sojourned a few months in the 'home of the Negro." "The more the Northern people know of the Negro, the less they like him." If Senator Tillman had as keen a mind as he lias been credited with he would see that his statement is no compliment to the South. What he says plainly amounts to this: "Only northern communities that act like East St. Louis show an understanding of the South. The thousands of northern communities in which colored people are not abused do not understand the South. In a word, an understanding of the South is evidenced by brutality toward the Negro. The Senator declares that the North loves the Negro only for political reasons. Well that's one reason more than the South can advance. Moreover, we know of nothing better calculated to secure respect and recognition and justice and all other things that citizens hold dear than to be loved for political reasons: We would much prefer to be loved only for political reasons than to be loved merely because we could be made to work from sunrise to sunset in a cotton field for fifty cents a day. The Senator's hopes concerning the effect that will be produced on the Northern men who are going into camps in the South will be realized if those Northern men come into close contact only with such white men as Senator Tillman and such Negroes as Tillman knows. We are willing to wager that this man who has lived in the South some seventy years does not intimately know two dozen of the more intelligent and progressive colored people of his own State. Tillman stands on the proposition that the more the Northern people know of the Negro, the less they will like him. In many instances this has been true. However, it is a matter entirely governed by the mental attitude of these Northern people and by the kind of Negroes they learn to know. The Senator's proposition does not at all take into consideration that thousands of Northern white people have spent their lives in the South working and living among colored people who were striving for education and the better things of life, and the result has been mutual respect and kindly feelings. Perhaps the purpose of this feeble outburst on the part of Pitchfork Ben—feeble in comparison with his oldtime lurid utterances—was to apprise the country of the fact that he is not yet dead; nevertheless, it only served to emphasize the fact that he is a dead one.

If this purpose is successfully carried out, it will be the most effective effort ever made by the American Negro to let the nation know that he resents these wrongs and will be satisfied with nothing less than the treatment which is the rightful due of every American citizen.

And this is just the time for such a demonstration; with Waco and Memphis and East St. Louis still fresh in our memory and with America waging a war in the name of humanity and democracy.

Birmingham, Ala. HYPOCRISY AND "DEMOCRACY" To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE. I have just read with interest and satisfaction, the able editorial in your issue of July 12. headed "Theodore Rousewelt Speaks." I believe the Negroes can no longer be deceived by professions of friendship, on the part of those in high position, who are doing far more in talk than good taste seems to require, in telling of their love for the lowly (in foreign lands) and those who suffer from lack of democracy (in Germany). I am unable to find language to express my abhorrence for the attitude of the millions of hypocrites, in this country, who pretend not to be aware of the continual outrages on lives, safety and property of our colored citizens; and yet never tire of uttering their fine precepts regarding "making the world safe for democracy." My sympathy is always with the Negroes, when their rights are wickedly invaded, as has recently been the case: why Mr Roosevelt seems to be the only man, to whom the whole world glady listens who takes an interest in expressing his detestation of the recent reign of fiendishness, is a mystery which I never can comprehend; but one which makes me regard the human animal as being meaner than I have until recently believed him PHILIP G. PEABODY. Boston, Mass. IMPRESSIONS OF SARATOGA [Boy Meets McAloa] Wherever Negroes congregate the East St. Louis riots are the topic of conversation. Saratoga is no exception to the rule, and especially so since the Grand Union has supplanted some of its white help with colored women brought from the South. There is an uneasy feeling among the colored people that the spirit of East St. Louis could break loose here with little spark to the powder. Saratoga is one of America's most beautiful summer resorts. It is a place blessed by nature and beloved by millionaires. The efficacy of its mineral springs and baths for medicinal purposes has made it one of the worlds celebrated spas. The waters and baths are given, for all sorts of diseases and prove wonderfully beneficial. The State Reservation owns about 400 acres of land, with 140 mineral springs, from which flows dark 10,000 gallons. It maintains in operation three bath houses, whose waters in therapeutic effect are like those great Kessinger and Hamburg, Germany, and some of the other spas abroad. Unfortunately, the Commissioners find it necessary to recommend the establishment of a separate bath house for Negroes "since many patterns greensiously object to using the same appliances and attendants generally refuse to draw baths for and administer treatments to patients of another race." However, Negroes are not refused until they go in small numbers, the fee of $1 and upwards being prohibitive to many The band concerts given daily in Congress Park are a source of pleasure to visitors. Although there are some 200 colored residents here practically all the business is done by whites. The Indians have apparently walked away with the Negroes' opportunities. Among the business men may be mentioned Mr Charles White, who runs two barber shops and owns a thriving trade during the season. He and Mrs White are substantial citizens, running a pretty cottage not far from Congress Park. The Lee Cottage on Guild road is well known and patronized by our best people; its current misspelled. The Marshall Cottage is one of the oldest boarding houses in Saratoga. It has always catered to the elite Mr Robert Marshall, who is the leading politician and best known man in town. Most of the ministers in the Methodist Conference held here last year stopped with Miss Lizzie Clinton on Walworth street, who is a member of St. Mark's Church, New York.

Jeannette Carter, Manager. Washington, D. C.—Our women have played a very conspicuous, useful and honorable part in all of the helpful uplift work in the District of Columbia since the close of the war of the slaveholders to destroy the Union of the states and to make slavery the chief cornerstone of the Federal Republic; but there never was a time when they were doing more than now in home and social uplift work after the position of their own estimation and the estimation of the critical public opinion which is so quick and severe in judging what is very slow, guarded and charitable in judging themselves. It is difficult to estimate the services which the women of the race have rendered in the work of the church, but the number of clerics on the war, and the services they are rendering now, or how their places could be filled if they should be displaced. They do more to keep alive the good work and to support the work of the churches than the men they are only the part of but all over the war far from any condition arising that will compel their displacement from the work they are doing, conditions arising out of the war are widening the scope and importance of women's work in all direction and making it more secure her home, the church and the school. All leads me to say that most of the people of Washington in the "W. Is. Who" class are very much gratified at the action of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Club, at its twenty-fifth annual meeting, at Stanford, Coon, last week, in electrical engineering. Ms. Madre has also vice president. They consider it a great but merited honor, as Miss Madre has done a good and useful work here for many years in the public schools and gained national reputation as president of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, one of the oldest and best of its kind in the country. Miss Madre may be said to have saved from itself and collapse by her administrative ability, her tireless industrious interest and her dedication of her time and energy. The mode would be poor indeed without such capable and self-sacrificing women as Miss Madre The District Commissioners announce that there will be no change of policy, that no change of policy is contemptible, in the law prohibiting dwellings in the alleys of the city after July 1 next. They announce, however, that such alleys as can be made short streets will be allowed to be used for dwellings and deserts to do so. This ruling will affect a very large part of the more than 100,000 Afro-American population of the city and it is the hope and anticipation that it will affect them for the better as the conditions in many of the alley districts are as demoralizing as they can be. The dwellings are for the most part, among the oldest and least sanitary in the city. The gradual displacement of them for modern structures and improved living will bring about a higher and better health and moral condition of affairs.

Toll. 3083-3084 ALLEN HOUSE MRS. F. B. WHITE, Proprietor CONVENIENT FOR CARS, AND SCHOOL "A REAL DEMOCRACY" (BY LESTER A WALTON) SOME playwright with a keen sense of humor and imbued with the spirit of fair play should find excellent material at hand for an up-to-date problem play entitled, "A Real Democracy." With absurdities galore from which the dominating... theme might be taken, the probabilities are that it would eventually shape itself into a farce comedy. One does not know whether to laugh or to cry when these absurdities present themselves garbed only in plain every-day clothing and void of dramatic flavor. Long ago colored Americans have learned to discount high-sounding phrases on "democracy" having come to the conclusion that the Negro is not included in these rhetorical outbursts disseminated for public consumption. To what extent the misuse of the term has become a National evil was shown last week when sixteen militant suffragists were arrested for pieketing the White House grounds and held prisoners in the District Workhouse at Occuquan, Va. They loudly boasted that their arrest and incarceration were in the interest of "a real democracy:" yet they assumed a most ridiculous position when in almost the same breath they expressed great indignation over having been forced to sleep in a dormitory occupied by colored women. Now, mind you, they were not compelled to sleep with colored women. They only slept in the same dormitory with their dusky sisters. But to these simon-pure advocates of real democracy the idea of sleeping under the same roof with colored women was carrying the cause of democracy too far. It should not be overlooked that there were other white prisoners in the district jail besides the militant suffragists, some of whom were serving terms for more serious crimes than the women-of-color. But what did that matter? To those willing to make sacrifices for "a real democracy" the question of color was a more important factor than the question of offense. Not one word has been uttered by these suffragists against finding it necessary to indulge in nocturnal slumber in the same dormitory with the white female prisoners. When one, reads in the daily press an interview with one of the leaders of the suffragists who tells of sleeping in a dormitory where eighteen colored women occupied two rows of beds and all drinking water was in one bucket with a single dipper, and next reads the following sentence: "They wish to stand for a real democracy," there is nothing, left for a fair-minded person to do but exclaim: "How inconsistent!" The militant suffragists who, when arrested were carrying a banner demanding "justice for all American women," should have been accommodated at Occaquan with suites of rooms containing shower baths and all modern conveniences. The colored female prisoners should have been put at their disposal as servants to come at their beck and call. This arrangement would have been more in keeping with the prevalent idea in some quarters with regard to the relative positions which whites and blacks ought to occupy in this country, a country which is in the throes of a mild revolution for "a real democracy." Cleveland Moffett has an article in "The Ladies' World" for August on "Love and War," in which the following statement is made by Samuel Gompers, the labor leader, who, in speaking to Mr. Moffett in Washington a few weeks ago 'apropos' of the attitude the laboring class should take and will take toward war opportunities and advantages, said: "You cannot stifle the natural impulses of human beings for a better and happier life. It can't be done either in peace or war, and it ought not to be either attempted or expected." These words came from the same Mr. Gompers who was severely reprimanded by Theodore Roosevelt at Carnegie Hall for seeking to palliate the work of the mob at East St. Louis. The Negroes who came from the South and secured employment in the stockyards of East St. Louis were guided by "the natural impulse of human beings for a better and happier life," of which Mr. Gompers so fervently speaks in his plea for "a real democracy." But Mr. Gompers, like many of our agitators who want "a real democracy," does not include the Negro in the category of human beings. It is unfortunate that colored Americans have to look with suspicion upon many of their white American brothers and sisters engaged in making America "a real democracy." It is doubly unfortunate that we have to look longingly across the sea for samples of real democracy. "Russia in the Making" is the subject of an interesting article published in "McCall's" for August by Matilda Robbins, which in telling how women have worked and sacrificed for years to help free a nation, furnishes this illuminating paragraph: But the right to vote is merely a means in the hands of the Russian woman to further her ideals of a free humanity. Her interests are never local; they are universal. She is as rebellious against the lynching of a Negro in the United States as she is against the flogging of a politician in a Russian prison. A real democracy exists in France. Knowing this, many are wondering how our white American soldiers are going to fare in such an unusual environment. Usually they carry their prejudices with them spreading race hatred like some deadly poison. Thousands of colored Americans are hoping that while in France our soldiers will be broadened by new and ennobling influences and made to see that there is a vast difference between "a real democracy" as a mere figure of speech and a real democracy in fact. It would require a Bernard Shaw to do justice to the American idea of "a real democracy." SOME COLORED COMMUNITY MUSIC MISSIONARIES ( BY E. AZALIA HACKLEY ) There are very few female chorus directors among the musicians of our race, but those who occupy this unique position are as capable as men. When the Washington Conservatory was organized I went down each week from Philadelphia to teach voice-building and there I met a sad-looking young orphan girl who played the piano exceptionally. She was the pupil and protege of Mrs Harriette Gibbs Marshall, for whom she acted as sick-teacher which was a valuable experience. This was Miss Wilhemina B. Patterson. After finishing the high and normal schools in Washington, the young girl went to Texas, her birth state, to accept a position as school teacher rather than to wait for uncertain employment in the Washington Public Schools. She was the oldest of five orphans and her great desire was to help the younger children. When I had the "Young Artists Recital" in Philadelphia and presented eight young musicians who oceamed from all sections of the country. I sent for MISS WILHEMINA PATTERSON. Miss Patterson to play a piano solo, which she performed with great credit to herself and her teacher. In Austin, Texas, I observed her vocal work in the colored public school and felt that it was my duty to offer her a vocal scholarship for the Normal Vocal Institute, which I was to hold in New York City the following summer. She accepted the scholarship and proved a very conscientious vocal student in the M.E. church where Institute of Vocal Demonstration was held, Miss Patterson surprised herself as a singer. I felt that she would make good use of the scholarship but I never dreamed that it would have such far-reaching effect. While Miss Patterson was teaching at the Federal School at Tulahassah, Okla, for Indians, I again visited her and I marvelled at the latent power of the girl for she had enthused those stolid students into real emotional expression. But it has been at Prairie, View College, Prairie View, Tex., where this young women has "found" herself. I spent several days listening to her pupils and observing the work of this quiet young woman who had so easily directed the life of one thousand students for several years. At the time I last visited her, she had arranged a small music school out of four rooms and the students in both the local department and the general standard that compelled schools might envy. No colored music teacher in any school has sacrificed more her salary than Miss Patterson for this music department. Prairie View College is a State School and legislation is noted for slow action. I saw a new side of the young woman which places her in a class by herself, especially as a woman conductor of choruses. Out of raw material she organized a school chorus of about one hundred which has sung before the Texas Legislature at Austin and which sang at Galveston, Houston, and other points to the attainment of white Texas. The daily press gave column after column of praise. At Houston this slip of a girl directed over 8,000 persons, white and colored—at a community meeting under the Sunday Lecture Course. The Houston dailies were unstinted in their praise of "What Miss Patterson had done in bringing about a good feeling between the races through singing. Up in Connecticut. I picked up a Texas paper on a train and I read all about the success of this wonderful occasion a few days before. It seemed as if the paper had been placed there by tate as an encouraging message. I read the article over, over, it seemed too good to be true. Yes, chorus singing will perform miracles. I know from my own experience. The Texas legislators were so pleased with the Prairie View singers that the college received an appropriation of $250,000, and the most of the credit belongs to this young woman. When I arranged the first Dallas Folk Song Festival, Miss Patterson came up to study voice culture with me. I divided the chorus directing with her and on the night of the festival she surprised me with her fire and power. I say her eyes snap as she went among the chorus with her 'Wake-up! Wake-up!' and I almost laughed aloud with delight. The Board of Education was present in a body at the Festival and wanted to engage her at once ten Dallas, but she preferred to remain at Prairie View. The Board members were enthusiastic and declared that they had never seen so graceful a director. Her good work that night resulted in the employment of a woman music teacher at Dallas with a salary of ninety-odd dollars a month. As a chorus director, I would trust Miss Patterson with any of my own work. This is the highest praise that I know how to give. I wish that some philanthropist would make it possible for this young teacher to travel from city to city to train community choruses. Prairie View College is so far South and so isolated from regular traffic that the world knows too little about the reality of life she has done. It is her own desire to stay at Prairie View, but down in my heart, I wish that she would choose a field with wider, community service. Miss Patterson is a serious, high class, modest young musician, with good common sense—an unusual combination, when she directs her school chorus she wears a simple white dress with no 'fol de rols' to distract 'the thought from the singing. One is always sure that she will do the right thing at the place and place North, South or any where. She is one of the most conscientious and capable teachers that I have met and the tireless energy she puts into every avenue of her work is her strongest recommendation, for it is remarkable. "THE TRAFFIC" TO BE AT LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK "The Traffic," described as a smashing blow at commercialized vice, will be seen at the Lafayette Theatre next week. This play will give you an idea how it is possible to lure girls like Ruth Cruger away from home, and finding her murdered and buried in a cellar right here under our very noses. But unlike in the Cruger case, the evildoes in "The Traffic" are punished. From an editorial in the New York From an editorial in the New York American: " 'The Traffic' is the cleanest, truest expose 'of this insidious form of vice ever attempted on the stage. It is worth a thousand-tails and a million sermons; and if the good people of this country would witness it and realize its significance, the hardest task of the police would be made easy. "Never before to my knowledge has so deep a document been written on the life behind the scenes of the submerged theatre, wherein is played the nightly srio-comic revue of the frailities of man and woman. Now the theme has so comprehensively embroiled, so suddenly expounded, so utterly truthful. The splendid courage of it proves its sincerity. Yet 'The Traffic' is elegant. We must recognize this in an age, in which the public demands forsic discussion of matters which a decade ago would have broken the peace. "I am terrified and stricken by the raw power of 'The Traffic.' I write my vocabulary away praising the play. It is the 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' of white slavery. I'd cuss—even pray—to get all the people running to see this ingenious and horrific exploitation of an evil, which I—as other men—know exists on every hand. The downright squareness of 'The Traffic' blinds me to everything but its high purpose and irrefragrable truth." "The Traffic" spoke the last word in red-light drama. BOXING AT TOLEDO.

AUXILIARY NOTES. Many times we fail to see in the school histories that are placed in the hands of school children, any account of the valiant deeds of the soldiers of cut race. Too frequent no reference at all is made of their heroism. We pray that the historians of the hour in writing accounts of the present "War of Nations" may give facts concerning all soldiers and a "square deal" to our men whenever they deserve it. At the Nation's call for volunteers to deploy on arms, we have given deeds and are rallying around our Stars and Stripes, ready to go wherever sent, and sacrifice their lives if need be, for our country's sake. With the pride that must be ours and the knowledge that the Woman's Auxiliary has been organized for loyalty to the Nation and to render any possible aid to the Sikh Regiment, with as many of the soldiers as possible, that a son has been given to the Nation in its crises yet, nevertheless, tears-shed because a dependent is left, behind. Do the people fully realize what it all means? Do they appreciate fully what it means to the auxiliary. Women are the ones of these soldiers that they have a noble body of women who are sacrificing time, money and energy to give-cheer and aid to their beloved ones, an auxiliary to their regiment in which they have implicit faith and confidence. Do they must be to these men to have such an organized body of colored women. The soldiers have not yet been sent to a foreign shohe, but the auxiliary's work of war relief has begun. Among the cases now under investigation this week, the auxiliary it must to ill serve is forced to remain behind and with a wife and five children has been living in a dark, dingy cellar. The auxiliary has removed him to a light, airy, sunny apartment in the city, where he is now giving substantial aid to this family. All cases are investigated and assistance given to those found worthy. Emphasis cannot be put too strongly upon the fact that the women of the race, the women of the auxiliary are suffering at this time this responsibility. It is evident as these cases grow and merit aid, it must appeal to the people for aid. Is there race pride? Yes. we know there is. Then good readers, do your bit in helping the women who have handed together for war relief. Any amount payable to the woman, man, child, will be gratefully received and acknowledged and published. Who will start the Woman's Auxiliary Relief Fund for the soldiers of the 15th Regiment? Any amount payable to the Woman's Auxiliary, Fifteenth Regiment and sent to headquarters, 2217七 Avenue, since the auxiliary has had an abiding place made possible by Col. Sawyer, who has always been good to the auxiliary and indeed has broadened the colored woman's outlook, and given her new hope, new ambition, new aspiration, the children of the neigh- horbourd have given their services to the auxiliary. A registry book is kept where all children volunteering service to the Fifteenth Regiment have registered and may register. Activity to this Junior Patriotic Liturgy will be given in the library of St. Mark's Dek. Let us bring up our children to love and fear God, to love and honor our country, to love and honor parents and home. The Woman's Auxiliary is doing its part for the children of the neighborhood. The Auxiliary holds in reverence Father Plunket of St. Mark's Catholic Church, and Mother Paul and Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, for interesting themselves in keeping the auxiliary supplied with the precious rosaries and other sacred gifts for distribution to the Catholic soldiers of the 15th Regiment, for interesting themselves in keeping the auxiliary not only feels honored by this confidence and faith in its body, but knows it has the prayers of St. Mark's Catholic Church. Mrs. Garein, Mrs. Watley, Mrs. Fischer, Mrs. Jeffers, Catholic members of the auxiliary were delegated by the auxiliary, with Bessha Frazier, to distribute these blessed, precious gifts to the Catholic soldiers. Until further notice meetings will be held Thursday, evenings at headquarters, 2217 7th avenue.
