Nearly Ten Part in Parade Nearly Ten Thousand Take Part in Big Silent Protest Parade Down Fifth Avenue (BY LESTER A WALTON) Callous and indifferent Manhattan Isle, the wonderful of all American cities, where only the ripple of public interest for the moment, was gird and made to sit up and take notice last Saturday nearly ten thousand Negroes marched down Fifth out uttering one word or making a single gesticl respectful silence against the reign of mob law Crowism," and many other indignities to which essentially subjected in the United States. Callous and indifferent Manhattan Isle, the largest and most wonderful of all American cities, where only the unusual excites a ripple of public interest for the inmitent, was given a genuine thrill and made to sit up and take notice last Saturday afternoon, when nearly ten thousand Negroes marched down Fifth Avenue, and without uttering one word or making a single gesticulation, protested in respectful silence against the reign of mob law, segregation, "Jim Crowism," and many other indignities to which their race is unnecessarily subjected in the United States. It is doubtful if New York ever has seen such a parade of civilians — a parade marked by wholesome simplicity, void of the pretentious, dignified to a degree, and yet one making a strong and favorable impress. The glitter of gold braid and riot of gray colors, the playing of inspiring melodies and the martial mien of the participants—unusual features of the Negro parade—were noticeably absent. All marched with measured step, with serious look and with heart-strings tuned to one key. The spirit of hilarity, supposed to be a racial trait, for once was missing. "Give us justice!" was their mute appeal. atrocities. As to their neat appearance, it is extremely doubtful if a similar body of women of any other race could have looked better in white dresses and white shoes. The men were the last in line—several thousand of them. There were professional men, clergymen, business men, sporting men, elevator boys, bootblacks—all meeting on the same level and impelled by the same motive to walk several miles on a hot July, day. No body tried to appear bigger than the rest; there were no horses ridden nor saushes worn as a mark of distinction. Although the marchers walked in si- Only the beating of muffled drums notified the onlookers that the marchers were near at hand, and the white dresses of the female contingent and the dark clothes of the men made a more striking picture than had an attempt been made to pale into insignificance the rainbow or rival Joseph's coat of many colors. The day before Old Sol had made a record for dispensing heat, the weather forecaster announcing that it had been the hottest July 27th New York had experienced, for twenty-five years. But tomorrow this most imminent one of these braved muffled the crowd had vigor. To make marching more comfortable, a friendly breeze from the Atlantic kissed those in line a fond greeting and encouraged them to march on. A Democratic Gathering. In pleading for a real democracy in America, the colored citizens of Great New York showed consistency by forming a most democratic gathering. Members of the race representing all conditions and walks of life paraded. Negroes, colored people and Afro-Americanis all joined in to register disapproval against the murders committed in East St. Louis, Ill, Memphis and Waco. For once the American Negro, West Indian Negro and Haitian worked in unison as black men; even advocates of the various ideas of education overlooked their petty differences and the Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian and Presbyterian ministers of the Gospel and those of other denominations marched side by side, actuated by one compelling thought. All social lines were obliterated and the question of fouls temporarily put aside. The coming together of all classes of Negroes to further a common cause is looked upon as a most encouraging sign, and many are hoping that it will lead to race uniminity on such a scale as to make it possible for the Negro in New York to do big things in the near future; for on vital matters affecting the race as a whole it never will be possible for any set of men or women to get results without co-operation. Quite a number of colored men and women were given a day off by their employers, who expressed themselves as being in hearty accord with the silent parade idea. The line of march in Saturday's silent protest parade was down Fifth avenue, starting at Fifty-seventh street, and ending at Twenty-third street. On both sides of Fifth avenue interested spectators of both races looked on with studied concern. Everybody seemed to appreciate the seriousness of the occasion and there were no attempts at lenity. Fully fifteen thousand Negroes, who should have taken an active part looked on. An escort of mounted police led the parade followed by little girls dressed in white, their bright, youthful countenances making a powerful plea for fair play and winning the sympathy of fair-minded individual. Next came the women, who, as usual, made the best showing of all. Nearly five thousand brought to the public's attention that the colored women of the nation had been deeply touched by the East Side masquerade and other recent --- VOL XXX No. 45 atrocities. As to their neat appearance, it is extremely doubtful if a similar body of women of any other race could have looked better in white dresses and white shoes. The men were the last in line—several thousand of them. There were professional men, clergymen, business men, sporting men, elevator boys, bootbacks—all meeting on the same level and impelled by the same motive to walk several, miles on a hot July, day. Nobody tried to appear bigger than the rest; there were no horses ridden nor sashes worn as a mark of distinction. "Although the marchers walked in silence, banners with timely inscriptions spoke volumes and made known to the world what the Negro is thinking on the inside. Some of the banners read: "Make America Safe for Democracy," "Thou Shalt Not Kill," "Taxation Without Representation Is Tyranny," "America Has Lynched Without Trial 2,867 Negroes in 31 Years and Not a Single Murderer Has Suffered," "200,000 Black Men Fought for Your Liberty in the Civil War," "The First Blood for American Independence Was Shed By a Negro—Crispus Attacks," "12,000 of Us Fonight with Jackson at New Orleans." "From Bunker Hill to "The World Owes No Man a Living, But Every Man an Opportunity to Earn a Living," "We Are Maligned As Lazy and Murdered When We Work," "We Are Excluded from the Unions and Condemned for Not Joining Them," "3,000 Negroes Fought for Independence Under George Washington," "Were We the First in France?" Ask Pershing, "Interpret for Us in Living, Loving Acts the Religion of Jesus Christ," "If Fault Is to Be Found With Color Blame God and Yourselves," "Your Hands Are Full of Blood," and "Put the Spirit of Christ in the Making and Execution of the Laws." A Few Incidents of the Parade. Several incidents met my attention along the line of march which convinced me that interest in the parade was not common place and that beneficial results would surely accrue from this extraordinary demonstration. At Fifth avenue and Forty-sixth street I saw two well-dressed white women attentively listening to a young colored man explain why the parade was being held; at Forty-third street I saw a white and colored man standing side by side heartily applauding banners bearing inscriptions demanding a square deal;" at Forty-second street "Rep Caps" from the Grand Central Station took delight in telling the curious what it was all about, preferring to perform such service for the time being to make tips; at Fortieth street I heard a stylishly dressed white woman tell a police officer that he ought to sympathize with the colored people and not forget that Ireland has its troubles; at the famous Union League Club, which gave Lincoln and the anti-slavery movement strong support, and which is one of the most American of American institutions, I saw gray-haired aristocrats express sympathy for the marchers by frequent outbursts of applause; at the Waldorf-Astoria and other famous hostelries I saw elegantly costumed women and well-dressed men look on approvingly from windows, and all along Fifth avenue I observed that true Americans stood with uncovered heads and paid respects to Old Glory whether it was carried by black hands or white hands. There were other flags besides the red, white and blue, among them belong the colors of England, Haiti and Liberia. The flags of the two black republics occasioned no little curiosity and questioning. Capt. W. H. Jackson was Grand Marshal. His aides were: J. Rosamand Johnson, head of the Men's Division: Allan Wood, head of the Wom- en's Division; R. C. McPherson, head of the Children's Division, and Mrs. Daisy Tapley, of the Women's Division. The presence of well known physicians and trained nurses in automobiles to look after those who might become prostrated witt the heat is one instance of how thoroughly the plans were perfected and the spirit of magnanimity prevailed. Believing in law and order, there was not one act committed Saturday afternoon which smacked of outlawry, bitterness, disloyalty or radicalism. Even the banners told truth which were educational in character. There was nothing anarchistic, nothing un-American. Quite a contrast to the conduct of some who have less cause to protest, but who do so by murdering the innocent, burning homes and making the term Christianity a misnomer in America. Why They Marched. The following reasons were given for holding the silent parade, under the caption, "Why we march": We march because by the Grace of God and the force of truth, the dangerous, hampering walls of prejudice and inhuman injustices must fall. We march because we want to make imperfect a repetition of Waco, Memphis and East St. Louis, by rousing the conscience of the country and bring the murderers of our brothers, sisters and innocent children to justice. We march because we deem it a crime to be silent in the face of such barbaric acts. We march because we are thoroughly opposed to Jim-Crow Carate, Segregation, Discrimination, Disfranchisement, LYNCHING and the host of evils that are forced on us. It is time that the Spirit of Christ should be present. We march because we want our children to live in a better land and enjoy fairer conditions than have fallen to our lot. We march in memory of our butchered dead, the massacre of the honest tollers who were removing the reproach of laziness and thriftlessness hurled at the entire race. They died to prove our worthiness to do the work with shadowing us and ours. We prosper in the face of the most unwarranted and illegal oppression. We march because the growing consciousness and solidarity of race coupled with sorrow and discrimination have made us one: a union that may never be dissolved in spite of shallow-brained agitators, scheming pundits and political treachers who secure a fleeting popularity and uncertain financial support by promoting the disunion of a people who ought to consider themselves as one. The police arrangements could not have been improved upon. Police Commissioner Woods took a personal interest in the parade and instructed his men to use every means to protect the marchers. Thanks to Mayor Mitchel, for the first time in the history of New York the greatest thoroughfare in the world was closed to allow Negroes to parade. The wealthy and influential were compelled to drive their motor cars on side streets and seemed to take pleasure in doing so. The members of the Executive Committee having the parade in charge were; the Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop, president; the Rev. F. A. Cullen, first vice president; James W. Johnson, second vice president; the Rev. Charles Martin, secretary; John E. Nail, treasurer. SEES FATHER AFTER 33 YEARS SEPARATION Augustus Moran, one of the proprietors of the Hudson River Garage, sixty-fifth street and Amsterdam avenue, is in a most cheerful mood in spite of the warm weather, for he has as his gust his father, Capt. K. A. Sanchez, whom he has not seen for 33 years. Capt. Sanchez has spent most of his life at sea and is now engaged in the fishing business at Block Island, R. I. When Capt Sanchez left St. Augustine, Fla., thirty odd years ago the son was ten years old. Several years later Mrs Sanchez married a man by the name of Moran, and the stepson took his name. About two months ago father and son located each other through friends, and they at once opened up a correspondence, the former promising to make a trip to New York at his earliest convenience. Saturday he came to the metropolis, accompanied by relative of his second wife. Although but ten years old when he last saw his father, Mr Moran readily knew him, and at once took him to the Moran home, 135 Shore road, Sheepshead Bay, L. L. to meet Mrs Moran. Capt Sanchez, who is 63 years old, was pilot for a Spanish-Honduran war vessel twenty years ago and has spent considerable time in South American waters and in Mexico.

Discrimination to Continue in Navy Washington Officials Tell The Age Discrimination on the navy against the Negro under the present administration at Washington are to continue. This piece of information has been presented to The Age by high officials in the Navy Department and increases the sentiments of Secretary Josephius Daniels. To the Editor, The Chief of the Navy, to know to the Secretary of the Navy, and to be informed by him to this bureau, in which you mention the offers of services to the Navy from colored men. This matter has been given due consideration, but it is not deemed advisable to change the policy which has existed in the Navy to the satisfaction of all parties concerned for many years. (Signed) T. B. PARTEFIELD, Lieutenant Commander, U. S. N. More colored registrants have been drafted for the array in Division No. 140 than in any other division in America is the belief of Ralph E. Langston, who enjoys the distinction of being one of the few Negro chairmen of the hundreds of exemption boards now sitting throughout the country. The local board for Division No. 140 has its headquarters at Public School No. 119, located at 133d street and Eighth avenue. Chairman Langston and his associates are kept busy listening to those claiming exemption, and furnishing other information in connection with the new selective draft system. Following are the colored registrants in the district who have been notified of their selection to soon become a member of Uncle Sam's fighting forces: 258 Besson, M, 15 W, 133d 252 Campbell, A, 215 W, 134th 252 Black, J, 124 W, 134th 1436 Jenkins, J, E 126 W, 135th 1426 Lewis, G, 31 W, 134th 854 Coleman, J, 231 W, 138th 1894 Gordon, J, 142 W, 131st 1894 Wright, J, 149 W, 139th 1084 Neal, John, 146 W, 136th 1357 Fisher, E, 128 W, 134th 2022 Jordan, S, 482 Lenox Av, 135 2022 King, S, 482 Lenox Av, 135 2024 Dillah, E, 134 W, 135th 1867 Elpa, N, 23 W, 132d 2879 Wilton, C, 135 W, 135th 879 McCloud, A, 173 W, 133d 1880 Townerer, A, 172 W, 132d Av. 1892 Townerer, C, 21 W, 131st 1671 Haskins, H, 37 W, 131st 1671 Smith, John, 34 W, 131st 1674 Meinhold, L, 131 W, 139th 1674 Swain, J, 131 W, 139th 1674 Fletcher, N, 30 W, 134th 1662 Springer, I, 26 W, 134th 1662 Greaves, F, 2184 5th Av. 1674 Miller, T, 158 W, 134th 1674 Grey, I, 118 W, 134th 1674 Hewson, A, 149 W, 133d 1695 Hutchinson, 8 W, 132d 1695 Johnson, S, 452 Lenox Av, 675 1675 Williams, A, 134 W, 134th 1695 Murray, T, 129 W, 133d 1695 Coles, F, 34 W, 132d 1695 McFoy, W, 111 W, 135th 1695 Clark, R, 124 W, 134th 1695 Clark, R, 124 W, 134th 1695 Jackson, E, 30 W, 132d 1695 Smith, S, 30 W, 135th 1695 Risk, C, 63 W, 131st 1695 Stites, G, 125 W, 134th 1695 Shlade, J, 25 W, 134th 1695 Hotton, C, 231 W, 134th 1695 Murphy, L, 28 W, 134th 133d Martindalesel, F, 141 W, 132d 1248 Warring, F, 41 W, 132d 1566 Ross, A, 10 W, 135th (Continued on page two) The communication from the Navy Department was in response to the following sent by Fred R. Moore, editor of Tum Ack: July 15, 1917. Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of Navy, Washington, D. C. My Dear Sir:— I wrote you some time ago in reference to colored men seeking to enter the Navy, but have not yet had a reply. I am told that you have not positional positions. There are many who would gladly enter the Navy could they be assured of having an equal chance according to ability with others. We have had colored men in the Navy who made splendid records, and in particular with the Flagship Olympia with the late Admiral Dewey, and I believe had charge of riffle-range at League Island Station, Philadelphia. At this time when every man is deacious of doing his part, it is IRON MOULDERS UNION TO TAKE IN NEGROES The International Iron Moulders Union has started a movement to eliminate trouble between white and Negro labor in its trade. In a call issued Monday urging all Negroes to organize, the union speaks of the reluctance which Booker T. Washington always had toward introducing labor organizations among the members of his race. "Since Mr. Washington's death," it says, "no leading representative of the Negro race has said or done anything which has come to our attention which would in any way encourage the Negro in industry to join the trade union of its craft. It was for this reason that the moulders' delegation at the last convention of the American Federation of Labor metal trades department introduced the measure which instructed the officers of the department to correspond with recognized leaders of the Negro race and convey to them the desire of the American trade union movement to bring about trade union organization among Negroes." JORDAN. CHIEF GUINNER'S MATE. BACK IN SERVICE (Special to The New York Am) PHILIPPINIA, Pa.—William F. Jordan, who was retired from active service as chief gunner's mate several months ago, having served in the Navy the required number of years, is at League Island, having recently ordered to duty by the Navy Department. He is not serving as a mess attendant, but enjoys the rank of chief gunner's mate, as he did before retirement. There are many high officials in the Navy who do not share with Secretary Daniels the belief that the Negro is only fit to serve as coal passer or mess attendant. "Fighting Bob" Evans is often quoted by Navy men as saying during the battle of Santiago "I'd like to have two or three ships of colored boys and I'd wipe out the whole harbor." TOURING CARS PRESENTED TO 'PASTORS IN "PHILLY" (Special to THE NEW YORK ASS) PHILADELPHIA, Pa—The Rev. E. W. Johnson, pastor of St. Paul's Baptist Church; the Rev. W. A. Harrod of Cherry Memorial, and the Rev. G. W. Robinson of Shiloh all have new touring cars presented to them by their congregations. rather discouraging that the Negro who is an American citizen is not given the same kind of encouragement as the American white boy. In fact it is said that foreigners have a better chance in the Navy than the American black boy. Those now there who have been in for years are discouraged when they see white boys with no more ability than they, promoted and given every opportunity to advance. If they have seen the wisdom of recognizing the merits and the loyalty of the American Negro and be willing to accord him the same consideration that is accorded even when offers his services. Tours very truly. (Signed) FRED. R. MOORE. The declaration of the Navy Department to THE AGE means that the Negro who enlist in the Navy will be put to work as scullions and doing menial work. An opportunity to be fighters will be denied them, their color being a bar to just recognition. TRAIN NEGRO OFFICERS (Special to the Times) Des Moines, Ia.—Col. C. C. Ballou, commander of the Seventeenth Provisional Training Regiment for colored officers at Fort Des Moines, Ia., called a meeting of the entire regiment last week and after congratulating them on their wonderful progress and deserved recognition, he recommended to the Secretary of War, military training only would be taken up at the camp for the remainder of the course. It had been hoped that enough officers would have been trained in all arms of the service to completely outfit an entire Negro division, which would be composed of nine regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, three regiments of artillery, one regiment of engineers, one signal corps and one medical corps. It was Col Ballou's own pet scheme to train enough officers in all these various arms to completely officer such a division, but ewing to the size of the camp which is only 1,250, it will be impossible to provide sufficient men; secondly, owing to the lack of colored non-comissioned artillery officers at Des Moines, it would necessitate the sending away of men to be trained at other camp in the East. Cavalry training has been practically dispensed with at the majority of white camps, throughout the country. Col. Ballou thinks that the best plan will be to keep the idea of a complete Negro division but the regiment's of artillery and engineers should be officered by white officers until the colored men under them acquire enough knowledge to get their commissions. The present camp will furnish the officers for nine regiments of infantry. This plan has been approved by the War Department. SWANN INQUIRES INTO DEATH OF DR. JOHNSON District Attorney Swann has announced intentions of -conducting a thorough inquiry into the death of Dr. Travis James Augustus Johnson, who was found in an unconscious condition and badly brushed about the head and face at 420th street and Broadway on the evening of July 12 by the police. Rumors have been flying thick and fast that Dr. Johnson met with foul play, and the intimation has been made to the District Attorney that the physician might have been assaulted by white toughs in the neighborhood. Those who have taken up the matter with District Attorney Swann scoff at the idea that the well-known physician died from the effect of an overdose of drugs, as was declared by the Coroner's jury. TEACHERS AT NEW ORLEANS Fourteen States Represented at Annual Session of National Teachers Association. J. S. CLARK CHOSEN PRESIDENT Industrial and Academic Work Fully Discussed and Suggestious Submitted as Working Basis for Proper Correlation of Two Important Branches in Schools and Colleges. NEW ORLEANS, LA.—At the fourteenth annual session of the National Association of Teachers in the Colored Schools, held here from Wednesday to Friday of last week, the following officers were elected: J. S. Clark, Baton Rouge, La., president; Silas X. Floyd, Augusta, Ga., secretary; Miss Ida C. Plummer, Washington, D. C., assistant secretary; J. R. E. Lee, Kansas City, Mo., corresponding secretary; W. H. A. Howard, Tallahasse, Fla., registrar; Miss Hattie V. Feger, New Orleans, assistant registrar; E. A. Long, Cambria, Va., treasurer. Vice-Presidents — L. J. Rowan, Alcorn, Miss.; J. A. Gregg, Jacksonville, Fla.; Miss Lizzie A. Jenkins, Hampton, Va.; J. W. Bevery, Montgomery, Ala.; L. E. White, Augusta, Ga.; Miss Mattie Jackson, Tenn.; L. D. D. Renton, Texas; J. Q. ton, Chattanooga, Tenn; Williams, Hampton, Va.; John Hope Atlanta, Ga.; W. H. Holloway, Talladega, Ala.; S. G.

C.; Mrs. Mayr, Bethune, Daytona, Fla.; F. M. Russell, Ohio; W. E. Day, Okla.; W. W. Saunders, W. Va. Teachers from fourteen states were present and the papers and discussions were of unusual interest. In his annual address President W. S. Singleton, in speaking on "Education," referred to the fact that the ideas of education in the United States had undergone marked changes within the past fifty years; that thee changes had been in the direction of education "for the masses instead of education for the classes." Universal education was the keynote of Mr. Singleton's address. He stated that there are of public school age 3,222,154 Negro children. Of this number only 1,907,286—that is, 59 per cent—have been enrolled in the public schools. The task for the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, representing 34,128 teachers, is to arouse public and private interest among both white and colored people to the extent that the remaining 41 per cent. of Negro children of school age shall be enrolled in the public schools. That is, that the entire three million shall go to school each year instead of the little more than one million. Interesting Discussions. After a full discussion on the industrial and academic work in the various schools, the following suggestions were submitted as a working basis for proper correlation of industrial and academic work in colored schools and colleges: 1. Create a demand for teachers trained especially for teaching industrial subjects; not tradesmen. 2. Give industrial teachers (so they can be leading along with academic teachers. (a) By participation in the council of the school, (b) By participation in the school. (6) B. extra classroom matters along with the academic teachers. (c) By emphasizing continued professional preparation for industrial subject teachers. (d) By equalizing salaries. (b) Because it is, cultural and may supply a means to an end—the augmenting of one's general education. (c) Because it is not antagonistic to educational movements. Among those who took part were: Prof. L. I. Rowan, president of Alcorn A. & M. College; I. S. Powell, Southern University; W. H. A. Howard, A. & M. College, Tallahassee; the Rev. John E.

Less than a half dozen persons out of the tens of thousands involved have received any punishment whatsoever for the crimes they have been punished for murder. In addition to this, mobs have harried and murdered colored citizens time and time again with impunity, culminating in the latest atrocity at East St. Louis, where nearly 100,000 colored citizens were done to death in broad daylight for seeking to earn an honest living.

AMERICAN WOODMEN TO MEET IN DENVER One of the most notable gatherings of this year will be the fourth quadrennial session of the Supreme Camp of the Order of American Woodmen, Denver, Colorado, August 13 to 18. This is a fraternal society organized and controlled entirely by colored people with a membership of over 50,000, with assets of more than $150,000 and more than $25,000,000 of insurance in force. It is one of the soundest of our fraternal having National Fraternal Congress rates, and a valuing of 112 per cent.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, will be the mobilization camp for the business men of the race this year when his wife has its eighty-seventh annual session there August 15, 16, 17. As in previous years it is the plan and purpose of the officers of the league to assemble the race's most successful business men and women for an annual inventory of racial achievement, as it were. The Business League has always endeavoured to keep before the county the most reliable facts of the Negro's progress, and the program for this year will include a number of the race's most successful business men will discuss, in a spirit of helpfulness, a constructive program for the race during the present crisis. The affiliated organizations of the league, which include the National Negro Press Association, the National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, the National Negro Insurance Association, the National Negro Retail Merchants' Association the National Negro Farmers' Association, and the National Negro bar Association, will hold their annual sessions at the league headquarters and there is every indication that the attendance this year will far surpass that of any previous year in the history of the league. With a population of approximately 50,000 inhabitants, of which 20,000 are Negroes, Chattanooga represents one of the South's most populous cities. One-third of the population of the United States is within 500 miles of Chattanooga, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington and New Orleans and intermediate points are within six miles of this historic and manufacturing center. Chattanooga has been well called the "Dynamo of Dixie." The 20,000 colored people who live under the shadow of Lookout Mountain have caught the inspiration of Chattanooga's progress and by building up some of the skills they have helped to contribute to the commercial achievements of the city. There are more than 100 business enterprises owned and controlled by Negroes. They have about 30 physicians and dentists, 4 contractors and builders; 25 restaurants and cafes; 5 well equipped schools; 2 understaking establishments; 2 lawyers; about 30 barber shops and a large number of successful farmers in the community who own their farms and homes. In addition to these there are about 44 local organizations of various kinds; 7 magnificent city and suburban parks; 12 large number of beautiful residences owned in colored people. Chattanooga is a typical Southern city, warm-hearted, hospitable and progressive. The city is wide awake with interest and activity preparing for the next meeting of the league, and the program which is now nearing completion, includes a series of successful men and women stories of struggle and success will make the session one of inspiration to all who may be present. Other Features of the Session. The first evening session, August 15, will be devoted to a brief discussion of Negro Health, and President Napler will deliver his first annual address. Franklin, Jr., president of the Chattanooga local Negro business League, in the report of his arrangements, states that one session of the meeting will be held on top of Lookout Mountain, where one of the most historic battles of the Civil War was fought, the war which took place in the Negro, and made it possible for the race to be recognized today as a contributing unit in American civilization. Migration? Of course the league will talk about Negro integration North and the various other situations in which the race and the South. White and colored speakers of national importance, all of whom are vitally interested in the economic changes now taking place, will appear on the program, and it will be impossible for such a group of people to come together without frankly discussing this important question. Aside from the features of the meeting which have been enumerated above, the entertainment committee of the Chattanagoga League is arranging a program of social features entirely in keeping with the entertainment received by the Business League in previous years Mr. Napior's First Year. 'This session will close the first year of Hon. J. C. Napier's incumbency as president of the league. Mr. Napier was Dr. Washington's warm personal friend, and for a number of years' was chairman of the executive committee of the league. At Kansas City, Mo., last year, he was unanimously elected president of the league to succeed Dr. Washington, and this year he will give an account of hisewardship as the league's second president." He announced that His Excellency, Governor Tom C. Rye, of Tennessee, and positively accepted the invitation to deliver the address of welcome to the deligates and visitors on behalf of the State of Tennessee, increased interest was imme- diately noticed and the railroads have co-operated with E. T. Atwell, Tus- keegu institute, Alabama, the transpor- mational certification assessment of support. The delegates from the Eastern States and from Virginia, the Carolinas' Georgia, Florida and portions of Alabama may be routed through Atlanta. Arrangements will be made for special Pullman's from Memphis, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Evansville, Atlanta, and at any point, provided there is sufficient number. When purchasing tickets, delegates are questioned to see that he is routing beyond New York, Cincinnati, and into Nashville, St. L. R. From Cincinnati, tickets should read via L. & N. I. R. to Nashville, from N. C. & St. L. or via Illinois General Railroad to Martin and then N. C. & St. L. Bound trip from Washington, D.C. to Chattanooga, $2.65; Richmond Va. $2.05, and from Raleigh, N.C. $2.05. Correspondingly low rates will be in force from other points in the territory of the Southeastern Louisiana State University, until further notice. Washington will buy tickets to Washington, the northernmost point affected by these tates. Further information relative to the plans and purposes of the Business League movement will be sent, if requested by J. C. Napek, Chairman of the executive committee, Muskogee, Okla., or Emmet J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. NEW OPENING FOR MEN (Sponsored to THE NEW YORK ACE) WASHINGTON, D. C.

Protests have been voiced before, with burning eloquence and flowery “rhetoric, but the hearers have been confined mostly to the members of ‘the racef€oncerned. This protest, ‘though sifent, was before all the world, so he wlio ran, as well as those who stood and gazed, might read and know what- caused ten thousand men, women and children cf the race to march in silence, wish, sober and dignified manner, wer the midday July sun, These people did not come out to nuake a holiday.

When this has been successfully accomplished, as riew members are required their names and standing will be certified to the heads of the deparunents in question for appointments. AAs has been proved by previou' appointments, under the present heads of these departments, all can- didates can count upon a fair and inipartial consideration of their claims to the positions desired. More colored firemen of the caliber of Fulcher ‘and Woodson would be a welcome acquisition to the city’s fire fighters, Negroes possessing the proper requisites for the police force would undoubtedly be of pe: culiar value, Let those mén of the race who beheve that they car measuresty to the requirements make xpplication in proper form, LET THEM REASON TO- GETHER. lack of friéndly relations that we hear of between the two Faces-in the Southland are largely ‘the “re~ sult of ignorance. Ignorance exists on both sides of the color line as to the aims and feelings, the vir- tues and. shortcomings of cither party. Despite the fact that the Southern white man claims to know the Negro better than any one else, his knowledge is but superficial and based largely on contact with those few who render him service! If.some means of cummumestion could be devised to bridge over the gap of comprehension that exists between the better thinkmg men bers of both races, many of the ex- isting evils and injustices might be remedied, How to build this bridge of communication should. be the aim of the leaders of the Negroes in the various communities. In At- lanta, for instance, when the dis- parity in the schoohng facibues ai- forded the races became too glar- ing, w means was found whereby the leading; colored citizens brought the injustice done them to the at- tention uf the proper autliorities, in a manly but respectful protest, and secured the promise af moré ade- quate accommodation for the schooling of their children. | In other conumumties the leading men of the race might arrange for a conference with the leading white citizens, where the municipal au- thorities are unresponsive or diffi- dent about taking the first step, and secure their co-operation i the pro- vision of better school -facihines, more efficient police protection, ade quate samtation or whatever may be lacking im the provisions fur theirs welfare. ‘The lack- of these provisions for the.one rage is bound to be felt eventually by the whole community, su asa matter of self- interest, the whites would generally give proper consideration to these matters. How best to bring about a conference of this character must be left largely to the diseretion of those immediately interested. Their knowledge of lucal conditions and the sentiment of their comnmnities should guide them in approaching the matter from the most favurabs. angle. Jhe positon ocenpied by the race as a labs element of the jmpula- Hon, as a tax-paying asset, should be weighed and) presented as an argument for an equitable share in public improvements and accom- modations, If the health of the ¢ol- ored coninwunity is jeopardized through lack of sanitation and bad housing conditions, it should be pointed out that the results will in- evitably spreatl to the whole com- munity. The whole will suffer for the neglect of a part.

Last Saturday the silent protest parade came off, and it was a greater success than even the committee had dared to hope it would be. Some of the New York papers estimated the number of march- ers in line as high as fifteen thousand, It was indeed a mighty host, an army with banners,’ No written word can convey to those who did not see it the solemn impressiveness of the whole affair. The effect could be plainly seen-on the faces of the thousands of spectators that crowded along the line of march. There were no jeer, no jests, not even were there indulgent smiles; the faces of the onlookers betrayed emotions from sympathetic interest to absolute pain. Many persons of the opposite race were seen to brush,a tear from their eyes. Tt seemed that many of these people were having brought home to them for the first time the terrible truths about race prejudice and oppression. The power of the parade consisted in its being not a mere argu- ment in words, but a demonstration to the sight. Here were, thou- sands of orderly, well-behaved, clean, sober, earnest people marching in a quiet, dignified manner, declaring to New York and to the country that their brothers and sisters, people just like them, had been massacred by scores in East St. Louis for yo other offense than seeking to eam an honest living; that their brothers and sisters, people just like ‘them, were “Jim Crowed” and segregated and dis- franchised and oppressed and lynched and burned alive in this the greatest republic in the world, the great leader in the fight for democracy and humanity. The impact of this demonstration upon New York city was tre- mendous. And it is not strange that it was so. More than twelve thousand of us marching along the greatest street in- the world, marching solemnly to no other music than the beat of muffled drunis, bearing aloft our banners on which were inscribed not only what we have suffered in this country, but what we have accomplished for this country, this was a.sight-as has never before been seen, - Rut, afterall, the effect on the spectators was not wholly in what they saw, it was largely in the spirit that went out from the marchers and overpowered all who came within its radius. There was no holiday air about this parade, Every man, woman and child that took part seemed to feel what it meant to the race. Even the little six year old tots that led the line seemed to realize the full significance of what was being done. And so it was that these thou- sands and thousands moving quietly and steadily along created a feeling very close. to religious awe. : When the head of the procession paused at 30th Street I looked hack and saw the long line of women in white still mounting the erestof Murray Hill, the men’s column not yet in sight; and a, great sob came up in my throat and in my heart a great yearning for all these people, my people, from the helpless little children just at my hand back to the strong men bringing up the rear; whom I could not even see. I turned to Dr. DuBois at my side-and said, “Look!” He looked, and neither of us could tell the other what he felt. Jt was a great day. An unforgettable day in the history of the race and in the history of New York City. . . BACK TO POETRY. | Most of our readers will remember that for many months we conducted a “Poetry Corner” on this page. It is possible that the writer of this column got more pleasure out of the “Poetry Corner” than The Age readers did; nevertheless, he is satisfied that a num-| ber of good verses and a few excellent ones were brought ttight. We used to write an occasional article giving suggestions as © some | of the things that were unnecessary to enable one to write fair verse | and to appreciate good poctry We enjoyed writing those angele as much as we enjuyed looking for gems ainong the contributions that, were sent in for the “Corner.” | | ‘Then along came the campéigm that resulted in Wilson's second | election, and there came along other things almost as disastrous, and | the “Poetry Corner” was knocked out and the articles cn poetry gave way to things more serious and less pleasant. ; Yet, during this time, we have often wished to be able to get away from writing about Wilson and \aco and Memphis and East ‘St. Louis, and get back to poetry again. We have often wished to réstart, the “Poetry Corner” and the search for the young poetic geniuses -of the race who we know only await discovery. Q | This train of thought might have led (o nothing definite right away had we not run across a litle poem in “The Masses'"hy Louis Untermeyer which struck us like a flash. Immediately we decided to place it before the old correspondents to the “Corner” as an ex- ample of real poetry: : : ISHMAEL. ° Among the reforms promised in Germany, it is rumored that the Jewish soldier will not hereaiter be debarred from attaining an officer's rank,—News Despatch, : | Again the wanderer starts out . . _ To.alien battles; and we see, Beneath the welter and the rout, The ancient, tragic irony.

Now that you have read the lines through, can you tell why they are real poetry. They stand many of the tests of real poetry. They are understandable, they sing, they. possess the power to stir the emotions, etc., etc.” And they stand the final test of all-real poetry, they leave you in a reflective mood. You read the pocm through and when you have finished the last line you find that a flood of reflections have been loosed. You pause and let this flood go over you, then you read the poem through again, Among the reflections that this poem is sure to arouge in ou readers is its applicability to the Negro. And no doubt there will he those whose reflections will be tinged with regret that this or auch a poem is not the work of a Negro poet. But, we started out. with poetry in order to get a breathing spell away from race problem topics, and here we are right’ batk again. The race question is to colored writers what Castro. was to Gumersindo ‘Rivas, a difficult thing to get away from. : When Castro was dictator of Venezuela he had a man named Gumersindo Rivas, who edited “El_Constitticional,” Castro's official newspaper. Rivas wrote 365 leading editorials a-year on various topics; yet, all of them about Castro.. For example, he would’ write an article on the Solar System and end up by showing that Castro was the light and the center around which all things Venezuelan revolved.

Jeannette Carter, Manager. Washington, D. C.—The carrying of concealed weapons is a serious offence in most places and Washington is no exception to the rule. After you cross the Song Bricke into Virginia, however, and journey Southward towards the overcash of Florida, it depends largely upon the color of the person who carries the concealed weapons, and the color of the white and near white person is expected to carry a dangerous weapon of some sort, while every black and near black person is not supposed to do so. Barbarous Southern white and near white public pinion sustains this interpretation of the law and the judices of the courts seldom override a public opinion because the courts as more obligatory upon them than the written law, "Pity, it true, but true, 'its pity,' as the author of the junius letters phrased it. The white newspapers have made it appear that the razor is the favorite weapon that the colored people delight to conceal most and to use handily and effectively in scrap, but this is the myth much like many in which the white brother is equally an offender. It is of general interest, therefore, that Judge Hugh has just decided in the police court here that a safety razor is not a weapon. The man on whom the razor was found which led to the conclusion as to the safety razor was "crazy drunk" when he was in a car and just served sixty days in the workhouse. He pleaded to be let off, as the razor was wrapped so tightly as to be useless in a mix-up, but the Judge thought differently and fined him $50 for carrying it and $10 for being drunk. His name is Gus Reynolds. Washington would be a very dangerous law against the carrying of concealed weapons, as the police court records show every day. Brunkenness is another besettinging all of large numbers of, people, many of whom find their way to the police court and the workhouse. After November 1, unless Congress reverses the law, the District of Columbia will be "bone dry" like Virginia, just across the Potomac. Virginia is having all the trouble possible to enforce the law, and illicit trade in the traffic across the Potomac will help to make the trouble. Lawyer Fountain Payton questioned the jurisdiction of the District Courts to prosecute a person for violation of the Virginia law, in the case of David Mitchell, charged with carrying six pints of liquor from Washington to Alexandria, and the case went over. On the other hand, Raymond W. Brent and William Honesty were convicted of selling liquor to soldiers across the line, their own business, Roy A. Fultes the president of the colored Bar Association, appealing the case. A man named Taylor was not so fortunate, but got four months for selling soldiers beer from a real key. Suffrage for the citizens of the District of Columbia, which many think to be "a thing much to be desired to make one wise," and otherwise, received another set back last week, when a special meeting of the Federation of Citizens Association voted to approve a bill showing a preference for giving a commission to the successor of Oliver P. Newman, should he be appointed to another position in the District government than that he now holds, the majority opinion prevailing that such a primary vote at this time would embark the President and that it was the general belief that the people of the district did not want the right of suffrage. One member said that district officials would not want local suffrage." Perhaps hidden in the wood-pile of communities is the voting strength of the North citizenship. Henry H. Stuarther, editor of the Old Fellows' Journal, has returned from an extended tour of western and southern cities, visiting lodges with his wife, and had as his house guest over Sunday George H.

The invention does a away with righth and left, and the joint fitting into the grooves of the ends of the two rails to be joined and then locked automatically.

Nathaniel Dett I overflow with enthusiasm because I am convinced that his compositions are to establish beyond all question that an American Negro is entitled to equal rank with Coleridge Taylor. I am not a bit afraid to say that in my humble opinion Mr. Dett is the more original and versatile of the two, and had he lived in England Coleridge Taylor would have had a worthy compositor life. There is no American composer who has even apachéft the master plane that Mr. Dett has already passed. The proof of this is in black and white in his compositions already published. The greatest music is always choral or orchestral and Mr. Detsu's capability along this line of work has surpassed the expectations of those who really believed in his genius from the first. His chorals, "Listen to the Lambs," "Lord Most Holy," and "Music in the Mines," have been published by Schirmer, but Mr. Dett has "loads" of unpublished manuscripts. It is not necessary for him to concoct or study for effects and climaxes, for he is born for the work. He is a vision of beauty, his ideas and striking images which cannot be criticised. All he needs is leisure in which to arrange all the output of his teening, inspired brain. I have such faith in his genius that I put nothing beyond him in the way of composition, and I do not intend to wait until all the white critics have at last put their stamp of approval upon his work to say this. Thank fortune, I know a genius when I see him without waiting for the decision of anybody. Down in my heart I grieve that this Negro has no musical patron such as many of the old composers had, that he might work unhampered to enrich the literature of American music. I first met Mr. Dett the summer after his graduation from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music which had bestowed upon him the unusual degree of bachelor or composition. He is the first and only colored person in this country to wear this honor. knew at once that he was musical genius; he was musical history for America as well for the race. As I was arranging for a young artists' concert at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia the following October, I engaged Mr. Dett to play. The music critics of the daily press singled him for their good promises. Naturally Mr. Dett asked my advice about a location. I had just returned from a Western State in which I had very influential white and colored friends, and I suggested this field, which would have surely resulted in a white clientele and an isolated atmosphere. I was so interested that I went to Niagara to talk the situation over with Mr. Dett's handsome, devoted wife. The amount of time she has to get to work at once to help return some of his obligation to his mother—a rather unusual desire for a young musician. However, the young man chose the best course possible, for he decided to begin his life-work at Lane College, Jackson, Tenn., where I went to see how he liked his field. I marvelled at all he had accomplished in the school in so short a space of time, and I noted the wonderful community uplift. I saw old mannies and grand daddies transported as young Dett played. Nothing in music was too classical or too long for that community when he left it. I could write much about what I saw and heard that might seem aggradered, but for Mr. Dett's record at Hampton Institute. I went up on the levee of the Mississippi river and looked down at the "Bottoms," which had inspired his suite "In the Bottoms." To be suddenly transplanted from the atmosphere of Oberlin, Canada and Niagara Falls with no knowledge of Southern prejudice must have a cruel awakening to a young graduate with the temperament and artistic ambitions of Mr. Dett. His loneliness has been musical gain for himself and for the race. It was severe, but it was the best training he could have received to inspire composition. The heart must suffer for full understanding and full expression. Jackson served a good purpose and Mr. Dett made good use of his time and his experience there. At another school more life experience was gained until when Hampton needed a music director he was the logical man for the place. I know of no one, white or black, who could fill the place at Hampton Institute as Mr. Dett has done. I compliment myself every day for my share in his appointment there. I wish that every colored choir director and school music directors could observe and enjoy Mr. Dett's work at beautiful Hampton. All I long to teach. His first thought, and the strength go to Hampton. In the few spare moments, while tired, he must write the music which is to take its place along with the great music of the world. The lot of most composers is not to be envied, but to be a Negro-composer inspired with great ideas and compelled to wait and wait, year after year, for each crumb of recognition, while slaving day after day with perfectly raw musical material, sometimes with head that seem harder than stone, requires the patience of a genius. I am glad I am no composer, for I might not survive such a combination of hard luck or else one day I might do bodily harm to some one as relief from a pent-up protest against the cruelty of Fate. To close this sketch without mention of Mrs. Dett would be a lost opportunity to pay a tribute to a musician that all the country should know. As Miss Smith, the first piano teacher of the New York Music School Settlement, and afterward as the second party in the Martin-Smith Music School of New York City, she is known not only as one of our most brilliant pianists, but such a good teacher that when Mr. Dett "carried her off" last December, some of her disgruntled pupils wished together would happen down at Hampton so that she might return to New York. I have only met Mrs. Dett once, about five years ago, but if all that I hear about her is true, then Mr. Dett is another lucky musician. However, Mr. Dett deserves luck and even Mrs. Dett LAFAYETTE TO PUT ON Next week at the Lafayette Theatre "The Little Millionaire" will be produced. George M. Cohen has written and composed many musical plays that have found lasting appeal with the American public, but it is doubtful if in any of them he has done better work than in his "The Little Millionaire." Cohen's fame as an originator of novel entertainment is world wide. His plays are notable for good, clean, wholesome fun, interpreted with the speed that makes the laughs they inundate so much. The material from curtain to curtain, and this particular play is no exception. "The Little Millionaire" tells a coherent story into which the many fascinating song numbers are introduced at logical moments. They are not engaged without a little or reason, on account of their help in the play narrative and thereby enhance the value of it. The management of the Lafayette Theatre is exerting its efforts to make "The Little Millionaire" as big a success as it was on Broadway, and from the beginning this company have done in the past with George M. Cohen's musical comedies. TENNIS NOTES Interest in tennis will be great this coming month.

The Orange Y. M. C. A. (colored) registered two victories to its credit July 21 and July 28. The first game was won from the Halstead 4 to 2. The locals scored in the first, third and fifth innings, while the Halstead boys scored in the first and ninth. Lewis was on the mound for the Y. M. C. and held the vistors to but three hits, while Pease allowed-Orange five hits. The game was well played and win- essed by well attended baseball fans. Their second victory was over the East Orange club, score 12 to 4. Lewis allowing this team six hits but the infielder's were wideawake and full of pop and deprived them from reaching home after the third inning. When the Y. M. C. A. came on the field Manager Morse discovered that he had too many irons in the fire. He had engaged two teams to oppose his nine on the same afternoon. Therefore he forfeited the game 9 to 0 to the Last Orange Colored Giants and took both the Giants and Cubs and newly organized teams and had Orange played the former his team would have been well entertained and a different score. The East Orange Colored Giants would like to meet teams like the Carlton Y. M. C. A. or other club teams. Write B Jackson, 47 North Grove St., East Orange, N. J. PATERSON N I Paterson, N.

On Friday evening, July 21, the Utopia Neighborhood Club gave a fashion show at Manhattan Casino for charity. Mrs. Albert S. Reed says that during the sixteen years she has given her services to New York charities she has never managed an affair that she felt showed more racial progress, and advancement. Two years ago Mrs. Reed conceived the idea of bringing before the girls of New York the women who had reached the top round of success in dressmaking. This year she added millinery and a furrier. One of these dressmakers, Mrs. C. B. Reed has one of the most up-to-date dressmakers and milliner's shops in New York, located on 55th street near 5th avenue. Another has a shop on 48th street just off 6th avenue, and two are heads of dressmaking departments in white establishments that run from 25 to 30 girls. So great was the interest among the white people in this line of work that offers of assistance were made by members of the staff of the Vogue and Pictorial Review, and many white people were present to see the effect of a fashion show with all colored mankens and the dresses made by colored dressmakers. The gowns were works of art and the girls were beautiful and wore them to perfection. The general verdict of all present was that they were proud to know the women of our race that could produce such gowns. The affair was given for charity and these day women gave their services to encourage young colored people. The program: The program: 1.

AUXILIARY NOTES: Among the most active of the Junior Patriots in volunteer service to the Woman's Auxiliary and Fifteenth Regiment are Eugene Buckingham, Rubert Cole, Elaine Clark, Terry Rosswell Bohn, William Webb, Zeno Steeman, Cecilia Bush, Charles Bass, Marston Bright, William Maxwell, Rose Reed, Charles Bush, Bernard Blanchard, Bennie Jacobson, Curtis Manby, Charles Johnson, Tommy Brandon, Alexander Bass, William Skinner and Oswald Collins. These children have from time to time since the Woman's Auxiliary, has been located in its present headquarters rendered invaluable aid to the Auxiliary. Every day some of them report for service. They have taken much interest in the Fifteenth Regiment and are as eager to know of its doings and whereabouts as those much older. Indeed, they already assert that some day they too, will be members of this noted regiment. It is surprising to know how intelligent they are upon present current war movements and unhesitatingly ask questions of information. The actual contact with the women of the auxiliary who are working for war Relief as well as the contact they have had with the soldiers of the Fifteenth Regiment, must make a wholesome and lasting impression upon these children. While all have been recognized who have volunteered service, only those who came with clean faces, clean hands and clean clothing have been allowed to assist in the actual work of headquarters. If they had been told to go home and return clean. We must acknowledge that the children of the neighborhood are well kept and this speaks well for our motherhood. Bennie Jacobson, a little Hebrew boy deserves special mention for his untiring efforts. The following contributions to the Auxiliary Fund for worthy dependents have been received and gratefully acknowledged: Mrs. McIntyre, $1; Mrs. Nellie Williams, $1; Mrs. Rebecca Snyder, $2; Mrs. Hicks, $1; Dr. Alexander, Orange, N. J., $1; friends of Bethany Chapel, Washingtonville, N. Y., through Miss Mary E. Chalmers, $6.25. Mrs. Fulmore, wife of Capt. Charles Fulmore, Fifteenth Regiment, has charge of the knitting circle of the Woman's Auxiliary. No committee of the Auxiliary has done more effective work than the visiting and investigating committee of our Social and Welfare. Division, Mrs. Roane assisting chairman, Mrs. Kolloe Secretary. Since the organization of the Auxiliary over 150 cases of soldiers have been investigated and reports sent to Col. Hayward. Very often this committee was able to render better service in ascertaining facts than through any other agency, and families have been materially aided by and through this committee. The Auxiliary continues to gain in membership, and in spite of the hot weather the meetings are well attended. KNIGHTS HOLD SESSION Not since 1909 has there been a more conspicuous gathering of Knights and Galantians than what appeared in Bethel A. M. E. Church to have their annual sermon preached by the Rev. A. R. Cooper, pastor. A beautiful program was arranged with Richard H. Lancaster, Mrs. Eilen G. Brown and Mrs. Irene Mormen-Blackstone appearing. After the sermon, the offering was lifted from the congregation and order, after which Lieut. Col. Sir W. H. Willis presented the collection taken up from the order to the trustees and an envelope to the pastor, organist, chorister and sexton. Sir Richard E. Clarke was the master of ceremonies. This sermon was the forerunner of the annual session of the Grand Lodge and Grand Court, which convened in the Lafayette Hall Monday and Tuesday, and which proved to be one of the most harmonious sessions the order in New York ever held. There was not a discordant par throughout the entire two days and the reports showed that the order has made wonderful strides since the annual session in Kingston. At the close of the session of both the Grand Lodge and Grant Court the Grand Lodge adjourned to the meeting room of the Grand Court, where the officers were installed by Sir William H. Willis. The grand officers for the ensuing years are: Sirs John W. Worsburg, Richard E. Clarke, William A. Vaughn, James E. Robinson, Robert H. Baynard, Walter A. Bell, Theron B.

Already $2,425 has been raised for the work and quarters rent free will be given at the Henrietta Day School. At the request of the Urban League and co-operating groups, the Board of Superintendents of the Board of Education has recommended that apparatus be installed in P. S. 119 on West 134th street for the instruction of children in provocational work, and of adults in continuation classes—thus fitting those colored women in trades better for the work of their choice. Power machines and equipment necessary for instruction in home-making, dressmaking and millinery will probably be installed. The Manhattan Trade School Board has appropriated sufficient funds to continue club work, with the girls—which was conducted last year by Mrs. Gertrude E. McDougald. Mrs. McDougald will take her duties again in September. The Tenement House Committee has at the request of the league, placed a house-to-house visitor on Columbus Hill to instruct the tenants in their rights and duties.
